![]() ![]() ![]() How many more updates until version 1.0 of Optimized Stilwater releases? Optimized exteriors as well asmore optimized interiors if I missed any but I don't think that I did. What areas have this mod optimized so far? Also this mod might have more in the future besides removing shadows, I'll get to that later. Dear lord this port is mess! This mod manually disables lights through a map editor, so it doesn't have that problem. If you disable the shadows in the options, play a cutscene, and then go to an interior while the shadows may not render the frame rate drop is still present as if the shadows were still enabled. You see the options itself has its own issues. Mmmmmm it's a little more complicated than that. Well then if all it does is disable shadows can I just turn it off in the graphics options, why make a mod? It's an modification in it's alpha state, not a magic spell. Most other areas in the game will NOT be affected. Slooooow down bucko! What it means is that areas inside buildings will have better frame rates, so places like Saints hideouts and other interiors will perform better. OMG DOES THIS MEAN SAINTS ROW 2 RUNS WITH NO LAG?!? :O The shadows in this game are a real performance hog. It accomplishes this by removing shadows that are casted by light sources in the game. The purpose of this mod is to significantly reduce the frame rate drops in unoptimized areas of the game.

![]() Thematic analysis can be used to explore questions about participants' lived experiences, perspectives, behaviour and practices, the factors and social processes that influence and shape particular phenomena, the explicit and implicit norms and 'rules' governing particular practices, as well as the social construction of meaning and the representation of social objects in particular texts and contexts. One of the hallmarks of thematic analysis is its flexibility - flexibility with regards to framing theory, research questions and research design. In some thematic analysis approaches coding follows theme development and is a deductive process of allocating data to pre-identified themes (this approach is common in coding reliability and code book approaches), in other approaches - notably Braun and Clarke's reflexive approach - coding precedes theme development and themes are built from codes. Coding is the primary process for developing themes by identifying items of analytic interest in the data and tagging these with a coding label. Thematic analysis goes beyond simply counting phrases or words in a text (as in content analysis) and explores explicit and implicit meanings within the data. This method can emphasize both organization and rich description of the data set and theoretically informed interpretation of meaning. Thematic analysis is used in qualitative research and focuses on examining themes or patterns of meaning within data. ![]() The popularity of this paper exemplifies the growing interest in thematic analysis as a distinct method (although some have questioned whether it is a distinct method or simply a generic set of analytic procedures ). Their 2006 paper has over 120,000 Google Scholar citations and according to Google Scholar is the most cited academic paper published in 2006. They describe their own widely used approach first outlined in 2006 in the journal Qualitative Research in Psychology as reflexive thematic analysis. Leading thematic analysis proponents, psychologists Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke distinguish between three main types of thematic analysis: coding reliability approaches (examples include the approaches developed by Richard Boyatzis and Greg Guest and colleagues ), code book approaches (these includes approaches like framework analysis, template analysis and matrix analysis ) and reflexive approaches. Different versions of thematic analysis are underpinned by different philosophical and conceptual assumptions and are divergent in terms of procedure. Thematic analysis is best thought of as an umbrella term for a variety of different approaches, rather than a singular method. Thematic analysis is often understood as a method or technique in contrast to most other qualitative analytic approaches - such as grounded theory, discourse analysis, narrative analysis and interpretative phenomenological analysis - which can be described as methodologies or theoretically informed frameworks for research (they specify guiding theory, appropriate research questions and methods of data collection, as well as procedures for conducting analysis). It emphasizes identifying, analysing and interpreting patterns of meaning (or "themes") within qualitative data. ![]() My answer assumed a sort of thematic analysis.Thematic analysis is one of the most common forms of analysis within qualitative research. Your list of themes and sub themes is your codebook.Įdit: THIS DEPENDS ON THE KIND OF ANALYSIS YOU ARE DOING. Once you have identified a list of codes, you then read your transcripts and assign quotes from the transcripts to one or more of your codes, as appropriate to the content inside the quotes. Some have positive opinions about the senator's economy work-so you now add "Economy: Positive Feedback" as a new code underneath "Economy." Others, however, have negative feedback-"Economy: Negative Feedback." Some are worried about job losses-"Economy: Jobs." And so on and so on until you have a few "codes" underneath each of your three major themes. But you aren't done-there are a lot of different ways your interviewees are talking about those three larger themes. You plot each of these three large themes into your codebook. You randomly select 100 people and do a structured interview with all of them, which you record and transcribe.Īfter transcription, you notice a number of recurrent themes popping up-the economy, healthcare, and protection of abortion rights. Let's assume you are doing a qualitative analysis assessing people's opinions of their local senator. ![]() ![]() Records show that Granda is being held without bond for numerous charges, including conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, kidnapping a child, battery on a police officer or firefighter and a prior escape charge, among other charges.Ĭopyright 2021 by WPLG - All rights reserved. An anorexic young woman escapes from a psychiatric clinic and meets a young man who wants to help. “Please be assured that (the) Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department remains committed to the safety of the community and this incident will be fully investigated.” “The quick thinking actions of all involved including MDCR staff, Miami-Dade Police Department and JMH security staff ensured the public’s safety,” MDCR spokesman Juan Diasgranados said in a statement. ![]() There was no word on what charges the patient will face. A police officer used a Taser on the patient and took him out of the vehicle. Granda was then escorted back to his hospital room, where he continues to receive treatment. News 12 is told that a crew member named Fred tried to stop the escapee by blocking the exit with his truck. He was found a short time later on the first floor of the North Garage, authorities said. BLOCKBUSTER: MAN ESCAPES HOSPITAL COVID MURDER ATTEMPT. ![]() Police said the officer then opened the bathroom door and discovered that Granda had escaped through the ceiling. The officer called out to Granda by his first name a short time later, but got no response. Police said Granda used the bathroom in his hospital room as a corrections officer waited for him outside the door. – An inmate who is being held on a slew of charges at the Miami-Dade County Pre-Trial Detention Center is now facing an escape charge after he shoved a cellphone up his rectum and then tried to escape from Jackson Memorial Hospital, authorities said.Īccording to his arrest report, Israel Granda, 32, of Medley, was taken to the hospital Wednesday after the cellphone incident and was given medication to stimulate a bowel movement.

If you scroll down the TexturePacker options you’ll see a Sprites section… Of course, if you are targeting a platform (or device) that only has support for a single resolution then you won’t need to use the ‘Scaling Variants’ option – however for iOS, for example, this option makes it very easy. Hopefully the above screen shot was pretty self-explanatory, however in summary we are telling TexturePacker to produce two versions of the sprite sheet – one with a scale of 1 (retina version) and one with a scale of 0.5 (non retina version) – and the Variant Name is (The variant name is used later when we specify the filenames for export). So, let’s do that now! Click on the ‘Scaling Variants’ cog and you’ll be presented with the following screen.Ĭhange the Preset option to be generic and then click on the ‘Add’ button to get a second box. Rather than having to produce two versions of your graphics files and use TexturePacker twice to export separate sprite sheets for retina and non-retina, you are able to tell TexturePacker to do all of this for you. This is where the ‘Scaling Variants’ feature comes in useful. MonoGame will automatically load the version when run on a retina device. ![]() If you are targeting iOS with MonoGame then this is no different. Those who have done iOS development before will know that you should create two versions of your graphics – a high resolution version for retina screens and a ‘normal resolution’ graphics file for non-retina screens – and by appending to the end of the retina file, iOS will take care of ensuring the appropriate graphics file is used at run-time. In a later section within this tutorial I will walk you through creating a MonoGame app, targeting iOS, using Xamarin Studio. I will explain the few that we will use in this tutorial, however an extensive set of documentation can be found here. ![]() Now, the final steps, before hitting the ‘publish’ button to create your sprite sheet data, is to alter a few settings depending on your requirements. Immediately you’ll see that TexturePacker has grouped all the images together, as below… (For the purposes of this tutorial I am using a set of images from my demonstration project on GitHub here). Then drag and drop the parent folder into TexturePacker. Next gather your individual images together into a logical folder structure. Select the MonoGame option and then ‘Create Project’ to move forward… You’ll be presented with a screen like below… This means that all the hard work of loading the sprite sheet and rendering the correct frame is taken care of for you – as described further below…įirst step – Download a copy of TexturePacker from here and load it up. Now the above maybe nothing new to a lot of people, however what you might not know, is that the latest version of TexturePacker has an option for exporting the sprite sheet and data file in a format targeted at MonoGame – along with access to source code for loading and handling the resultant data files within your MonoGame app. SpriteSheets – TheMovie – Part 1 by CodeAndWeb (See this fun video from the makers of TexturePacker that explains it better than I can) ![]() Using a single sprite sheet is much more efficient than loading lots of individual images in game development. The idea is that you draw the individual frames of animation for your game characters as separate image files – and then drag and drop them into TexturePacker – whereupon you end up with a single image file and accompanying data file ready to load into your game. I’ve mentioned TexturePacker in a previous blog post however, for those that haven’t used it before, it is a very easy to use application for creating Texture Atlases / Sprite Sheets. Also a link will be provided to the source code. Hello! It’s been far too long since my last blog post, however I’ve had nothing interesting to say – that is until now! Today I will talk about the latest version of TexturePacker, which has a new export option specifically for MonoGame – thus allowing you to easily create animations within your MonoGame apps.įor those who just want to see the results straight away, here is a video of the iOS simulator running a MonoGame animation produced with the help of TexturePacker…īelow I will walk you through how to produce the above application. ![]() ![]() Just want to enjoy a friendly skirmish with your friends?
