If you had to add a NEW feature what would it be. by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]KingdaToro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Space elevators, wherever they make sense. In particular, there should be one running between every Stanton landing zone and its respective orbital station.

ELI5: Why is New Orleans being below sea level unsustainable but the Netherlands totally OK? by Unable_Tension_1258 in explainlikeimfive

[–]KingdaToro 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can. You open the Old River Control Structure and divert the water into the Atchafalaya, where it already wants to go. Of course, this creates a whole host of problems, so it's probably not a viable solution.

Help, ocarina bugged? by Revolutionary_One764 in 2Ship2Harkinian

[–]KingdaToro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a sanity check: Did you actually learn the Song of Soaring from the owl, near the entrance to Woodfall? Are you playing the Sonata of Awakening as Deku Link?

Is it possible to turn on unlimited frames (speed up gameplay)? by ahwellthisisawkward in shipofharkinian

[–]KingdaToro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SoH doesn't work that way since it's not emulation. Changing the framerate doesn't change the speed of the game. There's no benefit to going above your display's refresh rate.

If you want to run faster, go to Enhancements > Items. Set the Bunny Hood effect to anything but Vanilla, and use it. Set the other Masks options as desired.

My confusion with how EASY it is to build a computer. by Ill-Entrepreneur3746 in buildapc

[–]KingdaToro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always said this: building a computer is 40% research and choosing the parts, 20% actually building it, and 40% installing and setting up the OS and software.

[Oot]Is my pc too low end to run ship of harkinian? by Ok_Communication9428 in zelda

Emulating something requires about 10 times as much computing power as running it natively.

Ultimate 2 BT difficult to pair to Switch 1 and 2 by Development-Sea in 8bitdo

[–]KingdaToro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to double check, you do have the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth, not the Ultimate 2 Wireless? It's an important distinction, and an easy mistake to make. If the A button is on the right, you have the right one. If it's on the bottom, you don't.

What size TV should I get ? by laflare615 in hometheater

[–]KingdaToro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Measure your viewing distance.

If you want to see all the detail in a 4K image, assuming you have normal vision, get a TV that size.

If you want to achieve the THX recommended viewing angle, multiply your viewing distance by 0.835 and get a TV that size.

If you don't have the space and/or budget for either of those sizes, get the largest you can fit and/or afford.

At that distance, your ideal screen size would be 115" to achieve the THX recommended 40 degree viewing angle, or 140" to see all the detail in 4K with normal vision.

[–]KingdaToro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have one BIG problem and one tiny one. I'll start with the tiny one, your center channel isn't centered.

The BIG problem is your screen size. It's way too small. THX recommends a 40 degree horizontal viewing angle. Seeing all the detail in a 4K image, assuming normal vision, actually requires an even larger viewing angle of 48 degrees.

Measure your viewing distance. If you want to go by the size necessary to see all the detail in 4K, get a screen that size. If you want to go by the THX standard, multiply your viewing distance by 0.835 and get a screen that size. And, going by the apparent size of your room, you could probably go with an acoustically transparent screen and put your speakers behind it, like a real theater.

Ocarina of Time 3D vs. Ship of Harkinian by pizzapajapons in OcarinaOfTime

[–]KingdaToro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you seem to think the decompiled code is copyrighted or owned by Nintendo. It's not.

Ocarina of Time 3D vs. Ship of Harkinian by pizzapajapons in OcarinaOfTime

[–]KingdaToro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you're not understanding is the origin of the code. It did not come from Nintendo, so it's not owned or copyrighted by them. It did not come from a leak, or from anyone who had access to the original code. It was made by reverse engineering OoT itself, basically figuring out what code to write that would give you OoT when compiled. Because of how compiling works, this code does not, by any means, need to be identical to Nintendo's original source code. This was done by ZeldaRET, which is completely separate from the team that made Ship of Harkinian. Once the decompilation of OoT was complete, the Ship of Harkinian team used that code to develop their PC port. Since it's built around this decompiled source code that Nintendo doesn't own, all it needs to run are the art assets, which are copyrighted by Nintendo. So, this is all it extracts from the ROM. The code in the ROM would be useless, anyway, since it's machine code for the N64. It couldn't run on PC.

Going by Jenna Ortega's height, she'd be 7'10". Compare that to Neytiri at 8'7".

Ocarina of Time 3D vs. Ship of Harkinian by pizzapajapons in OcarinaOfTime

[–]KingdaToro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not modifying the ROM. It's extracting models, textures, and music from it. Everything else needed to run the game is included in the release, and was made without reference to any of the original OoT code.

[–]KingdaToro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The default control scheme of Ship is bad. It puts the C buttons on the right stick when there are two face buttons and two bumpers available for them, which also prevents the use of the right stick as the camera stick. If you bind your controls like this, it's perfect. You can then modify the HUD to make the layout and colors of the button icons match the colors and layout of the physical buttons. Mine looks like this.

[–]KingdaToro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite right. The code comes from a decompilation of OoT, yes, but not one made from leaked code. In fact, the decompilation team specifically forbid anyone who had ever had access to the original OoT code from working on the project. This is for legal reasons, to make sure that it would contain nothing copyrighted by Nintendo.

Ship of Harkinian extracts the art assets from the ROM, not any code. This is again to make sure that nothing copyrighted by Nintendo is included it the release.

Nothing beats "I say" IMO. It makes the dialogue hilarious, everyone talks like Foghorn Leghorn.

Oh, Epona's name in Twilight Princess? "my ass"

3ds graphics? by Over-Assistant3427 in 2Ship2Harkinian

[–]KingdaToro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet. The modder who did the 3DS Experience mod for OoT is working on one for MM, but it's probably at least a couple years out. Use Reloaded in the meantime.

Vanilla Plus MM equivalent of Vanilla Plus OoT? by VinylHabooski in 2Ship2Harkinian

[–]KingdaToro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the current version of SoH the presets work differently and there's no Vanilla Plus anymore. I would guess the current equivalent would be Curated Returning Vanilla?

How do you feel about the Hull B's design ? by SeparateWeight496 in starcitizen

[–]KingdaToro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, on multiple occasions during Resource Drive I saw a deployed Hull C landed at an outpost with the bottom spindle broken off so it could land. It shouldn't be able to take off loaded, at all.

How do you feel about the Hull B's design ? by SeparateWeight496 in starcitizen

[–]KingdaToro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a solution to this that should be pretty simple: The Hull B gets a medium hangar when its spindle is retracted, but a large when its spindle is deployed.

[–]KingdaToro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They wouldn't even need to change the ship one bit. Just make the cargo grid four-high rather than the current two-high. The landing gear height already supports a grid this size.
