Integrating native file explorer on wine with linux.

This is mostly aimed at osu! mappers/storyboarders who need an easy way to access osu! beatmap folders through wine.

Introduction

This is a quick tutorial on how you can edit some wine registry files to make wine open the native linux file explorer when clicking the Open folder menu on whatever application uses it, since the explorer.exe application doesn't integrate that well with the linux environment.

The main use-case for this workaround is the case of those who need to work with a high bandwidth of files being moved around and shared/edited/whatever it's needed to do with it. ^{eg. osu!mappers}

Doing it...

1. Getting the useful info

Okay. So effective tick rates in Halo are weird. But completely explainable.

At a tick rate of 30 tps (ticks per second) which is what OG Xbox ran at because it was 30fps (frames per second).

input_firerate is in seconds

minimum_time_passed_between_shots = 1 / input_firerate

We calculate how many ticks should pass for the next shot.

Cool Blender addons

This is a short list of Blender addons that I consider somewhat useful. I'm keeping all of these here so I can save them, and so I can share them around!

Remember! Whenever you install an addon, be sure to check where to look for it in the addon menu. Things may change over time.

TexTools

A set of tools that helps by making UV unwrapping easier.

	# Take a url supported by yt-dlp, dump 30-second segments to the current

	# The time displayed is the time when ffmpeg first opens the segment for
