#PatchUpdate

[phonemantra-blog]

Fortnite, the massively popular free-to-play battle royale game, has come under scrutiny for a recently discovered issue involving in-game purchases. The controversy centers on the potential advantage offered by certain paid cosmetic car skins. Donating to Fortnite Saves Lives Free vs. Fancy: The Windshield Wars While Fortnite's core gameplay remains free-to-play, players have the option to purchase a variety of cosmetic items, including character skins and vehicle wraps. These purchases do not directly impact a player's core abilities, adhering to the game's advertised model. However, a recent discovery by the Fortnite community suggests otherwise. A Matter of Visibility: Free Cars at a Disadvantage? Alert players noticed a significant difference in visibility between the free, default car models and their premium counterparts. The free cars feature wider windshields, offering a larger head-on view for other players. This, in turn, makes drivers of these vehicles easier targets, particularly when opponents are positioned near the passenger seat. Premium Protection? Paid Cars with Smaller Windows Conversely, the premium car skins often boast sleeker designs with smaller windshields. This seemingly aesthetic choice translates to a potential gameplay advantage. The smaller window size makes it more challenging for opponents to land a headshot on drivers using these premium vehicles. Epic Games Acknowledges the Issue and Promises a Fix The community's observations quickly gained traction, prompting a response from developer Epic Games. The company acknowledged the unintended advantage offered by certain car skins and announced its intention to address the issue. Balancing the Scales: Potential Solutions However, the specific approach Epic Games will take remains unclear. Two potential solutions have been floated by the community: Nerfing the premium cars: This would involve modifying the design of the paid car skins to make the driver's head more visible, essentially negating the current advantage. Buffing the free cars: This option would involve altering the free car models to offer a similar level of protection as the premium skins, potentially by reducing the size of their windshields. Beyond the Windshield: Maintaining Fair Play in Fortnite The controversy surrounding the car skins underscores the delicate balance between monetization and fair play in free-to-play games. While cosmetic purchases are a crucial revenue stream for such titles, any element that grants an in-game advantage can alienate players and damage the overall experience. The Importance of Transparency and Community Feedback Epic Games' swift acknowledgment of the issue is a positive step. The company's ongoing communication with the Fortnite community and transparent approach to addressing concerns is key to maintaining a healthy and balanced gameplay environment. A Patch in the Works: What Comes Next for Fortnite Cars? The Fortnite community awaits Epic Games' official solution to the car skin disparity. Whether through nerfing or buffing, the goal is to ensure a level playing field where cosmetic choices don't dictate a player's survival chances. Donating for Charity, Gaining Advantage? The Ethical Debate The situation also raises questions about the ethics of charity-linked cosmetics in Fortnite. Epic Games has partnered with various charities in the past, offering players special skins where a portion of the proceeds goes towards a good cause. If these charity skins inadvertently offer an advantage, it presents a complex ethical dilemma for players who wish to support a cause without gaining an unfair edge. FAQs What is the controversy surrounding car skins in Fortnite? Some paid car skins in Fortnite offer an unintended advantage due to their smaller windshields, making it harder for opponents to land headshots on drivers. How is Epic Games addressing the issue? Epic Games has acknowledged the problem and is working on a fix, but details on the specific solution are yet to be revealed. What are the potential solutions for the car skin disparity? Epic Games might nerf the premium cars to make them less protective or buff the free cars to offer similar levels of protection.

While CD Projekt Red (CDPR) announced the conclusion of dedicated development for Cyberpunk 2077, the game isn't entirely left in the dust. Exciting news emerged this week, confirming the long-awaited addition of FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) technology to the title. This update promises significant performance improvements for players seeking smoother gameplay experiences in Night City. Cyberpunk 2077 The Farewell, But Not the End: CDPR's Shifting Focus on Cyberpunk 2077 Earlier announcements confirmed that CDPR was transitioning its development resources away from Cyberpunk 2077. This decision aimed to focus the team's efforts on future projects. However, the news regarding FSR 3 support suggests CDPR remains committed to polishing the existing Cyberpunk 2077 experience. FSR 3: A Boon for Performance-Minded Players FSR 3, developed by AMD, is a cutting-edge image scaling technology. Here's a breakdown of how it can benefit Cyberpunk 2077 players: Boosted Frame Rates: FSR 3 is designed to significantly enhance frame rates without sacrificing visual quality. This translates to smoother gameplay, especially on systems that might struggle to maintain high frame rates at native resolutions. A Range of Options: FSR 3 typically offers various quality presets, allowing players to strike a balance between performance gains and visual fidelity based on their hardware capabilities and preferences. Improved Visuals (Optional): While FSR 3 focuses on performance, some implementations can achieve visual improvements through techniques like contrast enhancement. Whether this applies to Cyberpunk 2077's implementation remains to be seen. The inclusion of FSR 3 caters to players who prioritize smooth gameplay experiences, particularly those with less powerful machines. This update holds the potential to breathe new life into Cyberpunk 2077 for a wider range of players. Release Date and Availability: A Glimpse into the Future Although FSR 3 support for Cyberpunk 2077 is confirmed, a specific release date remains under wraps. Here's what we know so far: Confirmation with a Caveat: A CDPR spokesperson acknowledged the ongoing development of FSR 3 for Cyberpunk 2077 but couldn't provide a timeframe for its release. A Potential Timeline: Considering FSR 3's successful integration into titles like "Immortals Fenyx Rising" and "Starfield," the development process for Cyberpunk 2077 might be nearing completion. However, unforeseen challenges could cause delays. While an exact release date is unavailable, fans can hold onto the positive news and anticipate the performance improvements FSR 3 will bring to Night City. Looking Ahead: The Future of Cyberpunk 2077 The addition of FSR 3 signifies CDPR's commitment to enhancing the Cyberpunk 2077 experience, even after the dedicated development team has shifted focus. Here are some possibilities to consider for the future: Further Support: While major content updates might be unlikely, CDPR might continue to address critical bugs and glitches to ensure a more polished experience. Community Content: The modding community for Cyberpunk 2077 remains active. Players can explore a vast array of fan-created content that can further enhance and personalize their journeys in Night City. A Lasting Legacy: Despite its rocky launch, Cyberpunk 2077 continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many gamers. The addition of FSR 3 serves as a testament to CDPR's dedication to the title and its player base. Cyberpunk 2077's future might not involve sprawling expansions, but the confirmed FSR 3 support and the thriving modding community demonstrate the game's enduring appeal. FAQs: Q: Will FSR 3 be the only update Cyberpunk 2077 receives? A: While CDPR hasn't confirmed further updates, the focus seems to have shifted away from major content additions. However, the possibility of bug fixes and minor tweaks remains open. Q: How much of a performance improvement can I expect with FSR 3? A: The exact performance gains will depend on your hardware configuration. However, FSR 3 typically offers significant frame rate boosts, especially on less powerful systems.

How REST API works natively in Red Hat CloudForms | Red Hat Linux Blog

Playing with REST API

by Richard Race

Overview

In this article, I will describe how REST API works natively in Red Hat CloudForms.

REST stands for Representational State Transfer. REST is a web standard based architecture and uses HTTP protocol for data communication. It revolves around resources where every component is a resource and is accessed by a common interface using HTTP standards method.

Red Hat CloudForms provides APIs to integrate external systems and initiate provisioning via CloudForms. In CloudForms, REST can be accessed by adding “/api” prefix to the URL.

https://<IP or hostname of appliance> /api/

How to play

In order to work with REST APIs, there are various REST API client tools  :

Internet Browser : Put a REST API call into the browser Address Bar

CURL :  Command line tool for HTTP client

curl -k -u username:password -X GET "Accept: application/json" https://<IP or hostname of appliance>/api/

Insomnia : A powerful REST API client with cookie management, code generation, authentication for Linux, Mac and Window etc.

HTTP Methods

Red Hat CloudForms API uses JSON (Javascript Object Notation Format) for data exchange format.  JSON is a commonly used format for data exchange and storing. The primary or most commonly used HTTP verbs are POST, GET, PUT, PATCH, OPTIONS, HEAD and DELETE. These correspond to create, read, update, delete (or CRUD) operations respectively.

MethodDEFINITIONExample (Using CURL)

GETReturn a specific resourcecurl -k -u user:password -X GET “Accept: application/json”

https://<IP>/api/providers/

POSTPerform an action on the resourcecurl -k –user user:password -i -X POST -H “Accept: application/json” -d ‘ { “type” : “ManageIQ::Providers::Redhat::InfraManager”, “name” : “RHEVM Provider”, “hostname” : “hostname of provider”, “ipaddress” : “IP”, “credentials” : { “userid” : “username”, “password” : “*****”}}’

https://<IP>/api/providers

PUTUpdate or replace  a resourcecurl -k –user username:password -i -X PUT -H “Accept: application/json”

-d ‘{ “name” : “updated service name” }’

http://<IP>/api/services/<service_id>

DELETEDelete a resourcecurl -k –user user:password -i -X DELETE -H “Accept: application/json”

https://<IP>/api/providers/<provider_id&gt

;

OPTIONSGet the metadatacurl -k –user username:password -X OPTIONS “Accept: application/json”

https://<IP>/api/providers/

HEADSame as GET, but transfers the status line and header section only.HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message body in response.This method is often used for testing hypertext links for validity, accessibility, and recent modification.

PATCHUpdate or modify a resourcecurl -k –user username:password -i -X PATCH -H “Accept: application/json”

-d ‘[{ “action”: “edit”, “path”: “name”, “value”: “A new Service name” },{ “action”: “add”, “path”: “description”, “value”: “A Description for the new Service” },

{ “action”: “remove”, “path”: “display” }

]’

http://<IP>/api/services/<service_id>

Updating resources

As shown in the above table, there are a couple of ways to update attributes in a resource. You can update a resource with PUT or PATCH method. Now, the question is When to use PUT and When PATCH?

For Example

“When a client needs to replace an existing Resource entirely, they can use PUT. When they’re doing a partial update, they can use HTTP PATCH.”

For instance, when updating a single field of the Resource, sending the complete Resource representation might be cumbersome and utilizes a lot of unnecessary bandwidth. In such cases, the semantics of PATCH make a lot more sense.

How to authenticate REST APIs

REST APIs authentication can be done by two ways :

Basic Authentication : The most simple way to deal with authentication is to use HTTP basic authentication in which the username and password credentials are passed with each HTTP request.

Token Based Authentication: For multiple API calls to the appliance, it is recommended to use this approach. In this approach, client requests a token for the username and password. Then the token is used instead of username and password for each API call.

Acquiring a Token :

Request:

curl -k -u user:password -X GET "Accept: application/json" https://<IP>/api/auth

Response:

{"auth_token":"4cb1fb32508350796caf32c12808fee2","token_ttl":600,"expires_on":"2017-12-01T11:25:06Z"}

Query with Token

curl -k -i -X GET "Accept: application/json" -H “X-Auth-Token: “token” https://<IP>/api/hosts

Delete a Token

curl -k -i -X DELETE -H "Accept: application/json" -H "X-Auth-Token: 21fe54dd14dc89c219d62f651497a54" https://<IP>/api/auth

Moreover, the duration of token is about 10 minutes and we can change/modify the duration from CloudForms operational portal by navigating to Configuration -> Server -> Advanced -> api: -> token_ttl

Query Specification

Query specification identifies the controls available when querying collections. While querying, we can specify control attributes in the GET URL as value paris. There are three main techniques comes under query specifications. Let’s take a look on them.

Paging : In this capability, there are two attributes available as offset and limit. Offset means first item to return and limit means the number of items to return.

Sorting: In sorting, we can sort the attributes by order , options and attributes. For example: by specifying “sort_by=atr1,atr2” , “sort_order=asc or des”

Filtering:  This helps user to filter the data according to the use case. The syntax for filters is :

filter[]=attribute op value

where op means operators

Return Codes

Success :  200 : OK, 201 : Created, 202 : Accepted, 204 : No content

Client Errors: 400 : Bad Request, 401 : Unauthorized, 403 : Forbidden, 404 : Not Found, 415 : Unsupported Media Type

Server Errors: 500 : Internal Server error

Troubleshooting

A good place to troubleshoot is to look into standard log files under /var/www/miq/vmdb/log on the CloudForms appliance. All the api related logs are recorded under /var/www/miq/vmdb/log/api.log. In order to dig deeper, changing the level of log is much recommended. You can change the log level by navigating to Configuration → Server → Advanced → :level_api: debug.

Conclusion

I hope after reading this article you will get basic understanding about how CloudForms can be managed via REST API’s. You can find the full Rest API documentation here.
