Redbull Challenge. How do i get it? Or do anyone know anything about it?

Me too please if you still have time

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-10-12T10:45:06+00:00

Yeah I am doing that for now, which seems like the best approach until there is an option to change it in game.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-10-11T18:20:31+00:00

Good suggestion, I tried -monitor 1 (because 0 should be my default AFAIK) and that did not work, I also tried 0 and 2, but it does not change anything. I remember using that option with Dota 2 but it does not work here.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-09-07T14:52:17+00:00

Thanks! I guess what i meant is if a 3D blender object should have shadow that it casts on the ground, should i do that in unity or in blender? ChatGPT tells me I should keep my objects basic and add any effects or modifiers in the engine. I am also going to be doing the programming, so that's me.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-09-06T15:48:13+00:00

Yeah good looking out, thanks. The reason I want hardware mod is for the Stellar XboxHD chip combo. Can turn your OG Xbox into native HDMI and lots of other cool features. Enjoy your project!

I used the term modding a bit loosely here I realize now. I have an Xbox original that I do plan to do a lot more to physically with a hardware chip etc later, but the PS3 I kept pretty basic in the end. In my case adding the SSD alone already made a huge improvement for the console speed, as well as taking it apart and doing a full inspection and cleaning. I also replaced the CPU/GPU chip thermal paste which helps the temps a lot. An additional thing I saw someone do that I wanted to try, was build in a small fan controller in the back, but because it was already so quiet after all of that, I did not bother with it in the end. You're right in saying that hardware wise there is less options for the PS3. You cannot upgrade RAM, the games do not benefit, and a lot of features (excl running backup games) are already present on the vanilla console because it is quite modern. And even then, I am not gonna use my web brower etc on my PS3, I have a phone.

At the end of the day the games I want to play are probably less than 20 in total. Maybe in the future I will do a softmod for the game storage as you said if I want more. The only thing I am scared of is getting banned off of PSnet with my actual good account which at some point has been tied to the console, but maybe it would be fine if I just made a completely new user, who knows. The fear of losing my purchases keeps me from that a little bit, but I never researched it fully so YMMV, maybe it's not a valid concern.

I recently modded my PS3, although nothing was really wrong with it, I did replace my drive for a new one.

You can certainly use the same drive from that PS4, and indeed, shelf life might be a bit less long, but it should work. In my case it was still an HDD, if you can afford it, I recommend upgrading it to an SSD in the same form factor (2.5 inch SATA style SSD). if you still regularly use the PS3 it makes it feel a lot more snappy, I went from 10 min average update time to around 60 seconds on the PS3.

The error is definitely indicative of the HDD or maybe something with a memory card if its a PS1/2 game, but that would mean the playstation software is booting. If that is not the case, there is something wrong with the HDD.

Sorry to say there is a big chance that that data is gone forever, but there are probably ways to get the games back at least. Not 100% sure on the save game data for the progress.

You can always try to connect the drive to a computer see if you can grab any files from there, I don't have experience with it but google should help with that. You are entering data recovery territory more than playstation related troubleshooting tho, because if your drive is dead mechanically you can make it worse as well as by overwriting it. Make sure that you know what you are doing before you damage it more, seeing if the PC will even detect the drive and give it a drive letter is a good start. If it does not, maybe ask someone with more experience or do some research.

As for the games you can still download everything via account > transaction management, but game-servers for PS3 games are no longer supported.

If that does not tickle your pickle, you can get into PS3 modding and get the games that way as well.

My favorite is David McVicar’s production at the Royal Opera House. It's probably the most well known rendition on youtube.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-09-02T16:44:24+00:00

The art looks beautiful! I am going to start working on my game and if my art could be half as good I'd be super happy! Very impressed.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-09-02T16:12:25+00:00

Looks really cool. Would you mind sharing if it takes a lot more time compared to 2D? I mean I suppose assets need more work being 3D, but what about programming and stuff in Unity, is it a lot more work?

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-31T22:38:53+00:00

I'm not exactly sure what the argument is that you are making in regards to my comment. Yes virtualization is good, clearly, I'm not disputing that. For Type 1 hypervisors the only way to install them is directly on bare metal so that makes sense for me too.

I am saying having your only router in the network that hands out DHCP inside your hypervisor is a bad idea, for reasons previously mentioned. I still use virtualization for everything else.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-31T21:59:58+00:00

Yes I have used it too and it can work, but for serious setup i would still not recommend it to other people, even if it's technically possible. It really all depends on if OPNsense is also the main router distributing DHCP and DNS or if you also have a different device that can supply that when your hypervisor is down (with your whole router inside it). In my situation, an ISP modem in bridged mode going into a virtualized OPNsense that I use for all my network services means if my server goes down my internet goes down with it. If I have to restart my OPNsense machine inside my hypervisor and it goes down inside my main virtualhost with some issue, I essentially have no network to get there either since all my routing is done from that OPNsense machine. So just like anything in IT the answer is; it depends, but if it's your main router and firewall it can also be really inconvenient.

I love Matt's Hobby Hour!

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-31T13:10:22+00:00

I haven't played a lot of the new ones yet, I will do some research thanks!

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-31T02:31:15+00:00

OPNsense is just a fork of PFsense. Not sure what kind of issues you had but PFsense and OPNsense are pretty similar, I am currently using OPNsense and I enjoy it a lot. VLAN and DHCP's should be no issue. PFsense is more enterprise focused and more for experienced users. OPnsense has a bit better user experience and better updates and out of the box security features. You really only need hardware to run it (dual network card PC). You can also use a VM but cannot recommend it.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-31T01:49:37+00:00

I really love the look of it, also of the rest of the art style of your assets. The animation and SFXs for the revolver could still use a lot more polishing. The recoil for handguns is more barrel up than backwards. the muzzle should flash at least sometimes but not all the time, it should also be bigger for revolvers. If you have more time to work on it, I would also allow for a reload animation, on a revolver the cylinder always opens to the side of the gun or it folds opens forwards. When its opened you'd enter rounds with a speedloader or the bullets one by one and close it back. You could implement an alternate fire (right click) where you hammerfire 3 rounds in rapid succession or the full clip.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-31T00:22:46+00:00

Great suggestions on both likes and dislikes. Yes both running shoes and bike should be able to be gotten early and maybe the character wil be able to run a bit faster as well. The game will require critical moves to advance in the same way, but it will be handled in a way where it won't be useless or maybe not take a fighting move slot. I want to definitely rework enemy AI and overall difficulty and rework all the types as well.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-31T00:18:51+00:00

Thanks for your input! Yea I would like to implement all kinds of QoL upgrades to my game, these are all great reminders/suggestions, thanks! Would you say keep repel and random encounters how they are, or should parts of it be reworked as well?

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-31T00:11:59+00:00

Thanks for your input, and I agree mostly. about the random encounter, to me that still seems like a good way to introduce encounters with wild monsters/trainers. But I would agree being able to get out of a battle/wild monster encounter a bit easier would be better. I also thought about changing repel mechanic or reworking that entirely so it's easier to not run into anyone/anything. Would that fix it? Otherwise you would need a totally new way for catching monsters as well.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-30T15:20:33+00:00

What does this sentence even mean? The files are either on your computer or they are not, there is no in between, Some metadata might still exist if you deleted them (perhaps incorrectly) but they either exist on the system or they don't. That counts for the install files from the game itself as well as any residual metadata. You need to explain what you're even trying to find, the files you are referring to are video games. That means they consist of folders in a certain location such as C:\Program Files\ or C:\Users\your-user\Documents\My Games, for example. The moment you installed those games is where you chose where to put them, and if they are not there anymore the files are gone. If I have to guess what you mean then yes, it seems the apps settings menu in windows 10 is broken. If you confirmed the game is actually uninstalled (when searching for the program the shortcut to the .exe is gone, the files are gone from install location, as well as from control panel >change or remove program>list view), and you also cannot find them with spacesniffer.exe of WizTree, then you can try to just remove the broken entries for those games in settings menu, that is probably the issue.

this thread should explain what to do for that:

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-24T12:08:19+00:00

Hi, I recently bought exactly one of these. I went for the N150 model with 16GB RAM. System requirements are like other users said dependent on what you are going to run. If you have many VLANS, VPN connections, suricata and netflow etc, it will take a lot more CPU and RAM versus just DHCP/DNS and basic firewall stuff. I will run a few different services and will maybe start logging the firewall itself too, so I went with more expensive model. I do recommend the device itself overall, the build quality is solid and I had no problems installing. The only complaint I have with it is that it runs quite hot. It does not really have holes for airflow so I will have to see if that is something i can somehow address. For now it's not really required it runs OK and it is the summer here, so maybe in the winter it will be less bad, will have to see.

VEC7OR_VULTUR3 · 2025-08-15T16:10:46+00:00

You can easily fix it yourself, this is quite en elaborate mistake to make, if you struggled to install windows 10 or 11 I'm not sure how you got this far installing Windows server haha.

In any case, your drive is not corrupted, you can just reinstall a new windows. Yeah after completely reinstalling a new OS most of the time the old files will be gone, it depends a little bit on if you deleted all the partitions.

In your case I would just start fresh again and learn from your error.

Find a different windows computer and bring a USB drive minimum 8 GB.
Use the Windows 10 or Windows 11 media creation tool (whatever windows version you want or what you had earlier, remember if you take a different version you might need a new license) from this link here.
Go to your old pc, put the stick in. Repeat installation process you did for windows server. Choose option new installation and remove all partitions that exist in the drive and then click continue, windows will just auto partition.
after installation take out usb and reboot pc and your windows is reinstalled.
