![]() There's no need, from our point of view, to work directly with such formats. Occasionally we get data in lossy compressed formats such as MP3 or ATRAC (used on Sony minidiscs), or for some reason need to provide files in such formats, but there are other tools for doing the necessary conversions. ![]() PCM data is most commonly in a WAV container (WAV is not an audio format, it is a file format and can contain audio data in any of several dozen formats, including nasty lossy compressions). We want uncompressed linear PCM data or lossless compression such as FLAC. With regard to formats, as someone mentioned, those of us in linguistic research have no interest in MP3. If it isn't sufficiently efficient to do the graphics in Tk and one has to add them as a binary extension, I'd rather do it as a generally useful extension than as an addition to Snack. With regard to signal processing and graphics, what Snack provides is handy but there are oodles of other kinds of signal processing one may want to do and other kinds of graphics. That isn't a problem for me but might be for others. I've been thinking about trying to wrap libsndfile using swig for some time. I have used it in a number of C programs. For audio i/o, an alternative to consider is creating a Tcl binding for libsndfile, which handles more formats than Snack does and runs on more platforms (including such odd things as Linux on PowerPC). I think that it would be best to decouple these. Snack combines several different functions: (a) audio i/o (b) signal processing (c) graphics (drawing of sound-pressure waveforms and spectrograms). WJP : Even if Snack were being maintained, there are changes that I would like to see. Ogg support is already there, but it is not a very clean/modular implementation. I simply don't have the time or inclination to add FLAC to Snack, but would be much appreciative if someone else would >. TFW Snack is used by SnackAmp and I continually get a large number of requests to add FLAC support. MPEG-LA ( ), the outfit that licenses the patent pool, claims that all use of mpeg, both encoding and decoding, requires a license and the payment of royalties. WJP MP3 is covered by a large set of patents, some but not all of which have expired. If you remove that code it is possible to use a license similar to the one Tcl/Tk uses (BSD style) and to include Snack in any software on the same terms. And hopefully this will lead to some more extensions like flac.Īnd it's not a problem with the format (though maybe the patent restrictions will cover it, too) but a problem with the license of the mp3 code used by snack - here is the relevant part of the snack README: The only reason for GPL is the MPEG decoding code, see jkFormatMP3.c. But my plan is to make it an extension like the ones for ogg/vorbis and nist/sphere. UKo The alternative I see is: mp3 -) To use snack in commercial software (like the rest of tcl) it is necessary to split the mp3 part from the rest. I would consider mp3 support rather a feature to increase popularity. wav is kind of the standard format there exactly because it is lossless. Lasselasse: Snack comes from the area of speech science. So what alternatives are commonly usable other than these? ![]() Uh, I forgot to add: and it's totally free and open format. Because it's present already in snack, it's a replacement for MP3 just "ready for use". ![]() ZB : ogg (AKA "ogg-vorbis") is "lossy" format, which has serious advantages over MP3: it produces smaller files (or of the same size, but better quality), it's "variable rate" by default, and it's commonly recognized by about all software players, and by some hardware players (I mean: pocket, portable devices) as well. I know about flac, ogg and a few other formats - but they are lossless, which means the files are horrendously larger, and few digial music devices (and for that matter, few programmatic players) support those formats easily. If so, then what formats are being recommended as a replacement? Surely not wav, because who wants to get stuck in that format? And not the itunes default format (also proprietary). I presume this means that someone in the world has a software patent and wants money from people who write MP3s? Now I see talk about a version of snack which doesn't support it, to be more free. LV So, what is the situation with mp3? I mean, that format is the most commonly used format, cross platform. Better to have a fork (and apologies) than to let something languish for want of the gumption to get on with it. DiscussionĭKF: I advise only waiting a finite amount of time for a response from the official maintainers. The first patch I will provide is a compile time option, to build snack without mp3-support to make it fully free (in the tcl sense). ![]()

Once all three Aether Containers are deposited, a notification will come over the Omega PA system. All Aether Containers need to be deposited at the three Aether Generators to charge them. Once hit, the player needs to collect the pink Aether container swiftly. The player needs to hit the container with the alternate fire of the RAI K-86 (the grenade launcher). Follow the beam's direction into Field Hospital or either of the barracks to the container but remain distant! If the player gets too close, the container will jump. Once it's dug up, the Aether Container will shoot off in a beam of pink light. The final dig site is just outside the open door hugging the blue wall. Head to the southern entrance of Field Hospital next to the stairs leading to the second floor of Data Center. Following the conversation with Peck and Ravenov, the player will be prompted to find an Aethermeter "…in a cabinet nearby." The cabinet is conveniently located to the left of Peck's window (looking at the window) with the same access panel as the serum cabinets.Īfter surviving the onslaught, the player needs to pick up the yellow Aether container and head over to Barracks for the final container. After some dialogue, the player needs to go to Peck's window in Mission Control and talk to him. The player should now head to the large dome at OPC and wait for the door to open at the top of the stairs. A series of dialogue will come from the Central Machine. Press interact to deposit the Floppy Disk. On the eastern wall, the player will find the Quantum Mainframe. Grab the floppy disk and head over to Planning Offices.

Once deposited, the station will play one of several pieces of dialogue. If the player successfully traps the Mimic, they have 3 minutes to pick up the purple trap and deposit it at the Memory Transfer Station. If the Mimic escapes, it will destroy the trap, and the player will need to collect a new one from the Memory Transfer Station. Hit the prompted inputs to trigger the trap and capture the Mimic, and wait until the trap turns purple to pick it up. Once the Mimic is in range, the essence trap will give an audio alert. The essence trap is triggered like C4 after placing. The player needs to get the Mimic's health incredibly low (roughly less than 15-20%) and throw down their essence trap. Walk over these items until one in the bunch turns into a Mimic. The player does this by locating a group of items (grenades, materials, or equipment) that they are unable to pick up. The player needs to gather three essences-one for Sokolov, Brahms, and, Zhabin.

However, this means the battery will run dry in an instant as well, even with the 7th Upgrade. ![]() The scope will detect the enemy, let the laser find the target itself and the full-auto capability means it hits harder than dual AR Marksman's alt fire, releasing the maximum punch in an instant. While engaging Super Soldiers or heavy robotic enemies like it, the upgraded LaserKraftWerk is a rock-solid choice for the player. However, if you have no time or cannot reach the power station, this upgrade can prove valuable as it will recharge itself even when you do not have it equipped. After the generator upgrade is found, the weapon will recharge itself slowly, although finding a power station is generally a better idea, especially if you take an EMP attack from heavy robotic enemies that will drain the entire battery in an instant. The LaserKraftWerk has 400 battery units, and once the battery has less than 60 units, the weapon will recharge itself to 60, giving the player two more shots (unless the player has the generator upgrade, which charges the weapon completely). The weapon will become more and more useful after the upgrades are found - the LaserKraftWerk looks clumsy but it is an effective ranged backup weapon once the player runs short of ammo for other weapons. Both laser cutter and laser rifle function can cut through chains, but the latter will attract attention from the enemy. The energy attacks from the heavy robotic enemies act as an EMP and drain the battery from this weapon, making it useless unless B.J. Functions can be swapped the same way that weapon ammunition is swapped. The weapon has two functions, one similar to the laser cutter, and the other a pure laser weapon that can harm enemies.
