where players can choose which theme they want to use.

For instance, Light & Dark Theme lol

actually pog.

[strange estuary]

Soo.. I did GOOD FOR ONCE?

Let's go

[mellow wedge]

wym for once

all is good

[proper jungle]

@mellow wedge regarding to your showcase. Why you haven't used the anvil UI for the text input?

[strange estuary]

I think the point was to make it not require an external input

[proper jungle]

or is it just 100% DeluxeMenus?

[strange estuary]

yeah it is

[proper jungle]

ahaaa okay

[blazing oar]

not yet, gotta do it first xD

[mellow wedge]

the showcase was more-so the keyboard aspect

[strange estuary]

Ugh fine

[mellow wedge]

not the shop searching part

just a fun concept to make a keyboard in deluxemenus 🙂

[proper jungle]

yeee I see. Resource packs are fun 😛

[mellow wedge]

indeed

[strange estuary]

Indeed

oh

[proper jungle]

am just fighting w Quaternions

😩

[mellow wedge]

people doin crazy shit

like you

lmao

[proper jungle]

xDD

am not the only one who's coding it

i got 2 more people who helps me with the engine

Ticxo and iFlyinq

[mellow wedge]

nice

[proper jungle]

however my quaternions is rotating my axis to opposite side

so i need to put a minus somewhere

[mellow wedge]

ah yes, of course

[proper jungle]

😂😂

[mellow wedge]

lmao

[proper jungle]

it's just one axis

and it makes me so mad

[vague walrus]

Only time I used quaternions was to spawn a particle behind a player

[proper jungle]

WHAT

WHY

why would use Quaternions for this

[vague walrus]

API I was using didn't have a method for it

[proper jungle]

it's in spigotapi

😭

[vague walrus]

Wasn't using spigot 😉

[proper jungle]

u can use vectors

oh

[mellow wedge]

Quaternions is the new word of the day i'll never know the meaning of and forget tomorrow

[proper jungle]

by using vectors you could just rotate it around

[proper jungle]

oh u dont know it?

it's being used in Unity for example

for models basically

the rotations of each bones

[mellow wedge]

i work at a pizzeria

[proper jungle]

if am right

[mellow wedge]

😂

[proper jungle]

oh

[vague walrus]

    public static Vector3d behind(Entity entity, double distance) {
        final Vector3d rotation = entity.getRotation();
        final Vector3d direction = Quaterniond.fromAxesAnglesDeg(0, -rotation.getY(), 0).getDirection();
        final Vector3d position = entity.getLocation().getPosition();
        return position.add(direction.negate().mul(distance));
    }```
Here's the code I was given for it, because lord knows I didn't do the math.

[proper jungle]

JOML?

no

wait but

you wanted to spawn it just behind player right

but that requires just 2 axis

to rotate

y is basically the y from location of a player

[vague walrus]

It did in-fact get the position behind the player

[proper jungle]

aha

i just don't see any usage in that so ye

that's why am confused of it 😂

[vague walrus]

I wanted to spawn particle trails, the idea at the time was to do something like wings that would always remain behind the player.

Makes more sense when you consider a 3d design ig

[proper jungle]

oh ye

then

you could just use cos and sin

to calculate the point

[vague walrus]

I'll take your word for it. I haven't touched that project in 3 years

[proper jungle]

😂😂

at least i can feel just a bit helpful today

[vague walrus]

I just watched a couple videos on Kotlin DSLs and it looks very fun.
I'm tempted to play with it a bit

[strange estuary]

now it looks ugly filled in ;-;

what have I done

[mellow wedge]

was busied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should

[mellow wedge]

my favorite part is the X

[strange estuary]

I'm going to make the check and X buttons the normal gray

[long summit]

Lovely X

[strange estuary]

They don't need to be filled in the GUI color

Filled in just looks too ugly lol

[mellow wedge]

What if you make the check and X like actual buttons

[strange estuary]

Wdym?

[mellow wedge]

I know it's 2 slots, but that tall looks ugly imo

make it square

[strange estuary]

I only made them 1x2 because it centered them in the two rows

[mellow wedge]

ik ik, but for the gui

just the design

fill in above and below each one

I would say try and make each one a square button

or even a rectangle button if you want

anybody else?

the green check mark is 1 pixel too far left for sure

[strange estuary]

Oh yeah lol those buttons are defo messed up

[mellow wedge]

lol

[strange estuary]

There are some really cool color ideas you can do with this

I love it

Too bad it's very.. meh looking atm

[mellow wedge]

really nice

it's really really sick

[strange estuary]

Might make it a donor perk feature

[vague walrus]

Back in my day we called it a rough draft

[strange estuary]

gotta abide eula somehow

[blazing oar]

what if you just make a bar colored?

[mellow wedge]

I think that, plus patterns, could be really nice

[blazing oar]

like this

[mellow wedge]

because you could probably just overlay another pattern on top of that, with a different color

[strange estuary]

Maybe instead of just the bar, an outline?

[mellow wedge]

how are you removing inventory text?

[strange estuary]

Lang file

[mellow wedge]

ah for all inventories, ye?

[strange estuary]

Yeah technically could

Rn this is only working for the lobby so I don't have everything working across the games

[mellow wedge]

ye ye

I just don't wanna remove Inventory from all menus

hmm

cmon mojang

give us this

smh

[blazing oar]

wouldn't be that big of a deal

if you did

[mellow wedge]

how are they going to know what is menu and what is inventory?

[blazing oar]

quite obvious nha?

I never ever checked the "Inventory" text

lol

[strange estuary]

It's redundant to have a square with the color I know, but it shows you the information of the color you picked

Just though that should be in there

[mellow wedge]

Ya I like it more than the armor

@strange estuary https://i.imgur.com/vJzF1IG.jpeg

overlapping patterns

[vague walrus]

I smell an emblem builder in the distance

[strange estuary]

Dunno if I can do a pattern with the way I'm doing it

Actually, yes I can

It wouldn't be too hard now that I think about it 😂

[mellow wedge]

not hard at all

[mellow wedge]

you can store different hex values for each pattern overlay

[strange estuary]

Yeah I figured that part out

I'll probably get to that at some point

Patterns would be nice

[mellow wedge]

hella customizability

[strange estuary]

Imagine this instead though

A custom model data banner for the patterns

So you can literally have any banner combo you want

That'd be ridiculous lol

[mellow wedge]

https://i.imgur.com/wAA1B6r.jpeg

i am so good at graphics

3 different "patterns", 3 different colors @strange estuary

[strange estuary]

heck yeah

Not only did I manage to get text on top of this color overlay, text looks great 👍

Dunno if I want to do custom title or just text yet, it's so hard to say

@strange estuary

@daring bear

[strange estuary]

That’s sick GG

[mellow wedge]

add some color picking, some layering, you're set

[strange estuary]

Does this support multiple GUI rows?

[mellow wedge]

not yet

[strange estuary]

Shoot

[mellow wedge]

i was just thinking about that

[strange estuary]

See I don't know if I want to draw

6 versions of each pattern

😂

[mellow wedge]

#placeholder-api message

i was thinking of storing formats for each title for different gui sizes in variables

so if you had a 36 gui you just use %variable_3% and it fills it all the bullshit you already wrote

[strange estuary]

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/servervariables-custom-data-and-variables-for-players-1-8-1-19.107803/

this maybe?

New plugin, but great author (atleast imo)

you probably don't mean a whole plugin to do it though lol

[mellow wedge]

it works with replacecharacters, but still kind of long

because well... string doesn't then parse the placeholder

so you have to nested it

/papi parse me %nested_2_string_replacecharacters_variables_small-title%

so it's like

shorter

but

[strange estuary]

Are we going for coolest looking or most optimized here

XD

[mellow wedge]

so

i made the variables expansion @strange estuary

but im not gonna verify it i don't think

but i'll upload it

[strange estuary]

How does it work?

[mellow wedge]

https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Variables-Expansion

p simple

  variables:
    small-title: '򫂇七七&#00ffff򫂸七七七七七七七򫂆&#ff0000%nested_unicode_{conversion_10:16_{math_0:_700600+{deluxemenus_meta_pattern-value_INTEGER_1}}}%'

[strange estuary]

Ah yeah

Makes sense

[mellow wedge]

yep

[strange estuary]

Does that make it support multi-row the way you did it?

[mellow wedge]

wym multi-row?

[strange estuary]

Like

Will your patterns work on 1 row, 2 rows, 3 rows, etc

[mellow wedge]

Oh, I haven't tested the patterns themselves

1 and 2 might work fine

but if you had something going along the side or in the middle like pattern 3, probably gonna cause an issue

and you'd need multiple patterns

[strange estuary]

Slightly sucky

[mellow wedge]

butttt
%variables_pattern1_36%
%variables_pattern1_54%

[vague walrus]

I decided to play around a little with Kotlin DSL and make commands with it.
This basically builds the command with everything it needs.
The execute block is just standard code more or less, it's what gets executed when the command is run.

I found it fun to write out code this way, a bit different than what I'm used to.

yo anyone heard of the new sound when discord is started that says "discord"

im honestly freaked out that discord has turned into an anime app or sth

[strange estuary]

Not new, it's been around for a while

You activate it by pressing the discord button 10 times

[smoky solstice]

ah but i didnt press any button?

discord button like the DM button?

[strange estuary]

Yeah

Maybe you did it on accident or maybe theres multiple ways of turning it on?

You can turn it off by pressing it 10 times tho

[smoky solstice]

ohh i think i turned it on accidentally
i heard the same sound some times ago i think

[strange estuary]

Ah yeah probably then

[daring bear]

Oooo thats dope

[daring bear]

I like this idea

Small idea

%variables_get_1% returns Hello
%variables_set_1_Bye% sets variable 1 from Hello to Bye
%variables_get_1% returns Bye

@strange estuary this would be cool to link to a placeholders multiple in fact creating "server themes and such" and easy to manage around all plugins for color schemes maybe?

Totally yeah

Going to expand it at some point

[wary willow]

@strange estuary is there no way to make the X and Checkmark background change as well?

[strange estuary]

There is actually yeah

It’s a bit annoying but yeah

Imagine spending 3k on a laptop and you can't use it anymore because of this https://vm.tiktxk.com/ZMYrcPwsY/

I personally have a Lenovo Legion 5 and I'm happy with it, ryzen 7 5k, RTX 3060

[dusky summit]

oh man alienware

i haven't heard that name in so many years

[sullen sorrel]

well
the person experiencing that issue isn't the one spending 3k

its the ppl recycling the laptop

[boreal escarp]

Wdym?

[sullen sorrel]

the lock was because the owner lost their laptop but ig it ended up in the trash (assuming that's what this is since they mentioned "recycling" in the tiktok) but the lock is still applied since the owner didn't find their laptop still

its main goal is to prevent thieves, but ig this was a side effect 😕

[boreal escarp]

Ah, maybe

[sullen sorrel]

after like a couple years I feel like the lock should auto disable

or even just 1 year

if like in a setting

to prevent this issue

(or an option to make it perm)

so that they don't have to just scrap the laptops

3k on a laptop not going to waste 🎉

[latent schooner]

Isn't that a lock due to apple artificially locking hardware from being replaced with alternative parts?

I swear that message is due to part IDs needing to match

[sullen sorrel]

then ig it could be both
but it asks for the user's apple id so it's prob in case someone else is trying to tamper with your laptop's parts

[latent schooner]

i9s get better every year, so yes?

[sullen sorrel]

you probably want to know the exact one
what if it's like the oldest i9 💀

[light scaffold]

yeah im pretty sure the main goal is to deter theft

if the machine is literally unusable then stealing it is a waste of time because it has zero resell value

[latent schooner]

What about that lock stopping people from using an M2 motherboard with an M1 keyboard though?

[light scaffold]

idk

[latent schooner]

since that's also on some of these laptops

[light scaffold]

but that didnt look like the same thing as what was in the video

[latent schooner]

maybe it's a different anti right-to-repair lock

[light scaffold]

it was just asking for a password

[vague walrus]

Knowing apple its purely profit incentive with a side-effect of being good sometimes.

[light scaffold]

depends how cynical you are

[latent schooner]

Apple is super anti right-to-repair, so that wouldn't be surprising

[vague walrus]

Considering apple, fairly cynical I guess

[latent schooner]

except this new iphone opening on both sides is awesome (for r2r)

[vague walrus]

Samsung did it first with the Galaxy note 7

[latent schooner]

no I mean for apple

compared to the alternative of not

[sullen sorrel]

what is opening on both sides

[latent schooner]

like, it's a step in the right direction

[latent schooner]

well you can open it on one side...

and the other

[vague walrus]

For Samsung that meant exploding

[sullen sorrel]

so like

[young mortar]

yeah no activation lock is just for security, using Find My Mac or whatever

[sullen sorrel]

it lets u take the display off?

[light scaffold]

right

it probably wouldnt even boot if the device ids didnt match

[latent schooner]

ah interesting, so that one's actually not awful

[young mortar]

yeah it's actually quite an excellent feature

[light scaffold]

find my does go hard, it's super accurate

[sullen sorrel]

Samsungs/Androids got it too 😎
idk about Windows

[latent schooner]

Also- totally unrelated: anyone willing to join an MC server and give me first thoughts? It's somehow gained popularity through absolutely no advertising, and I'd like to know if it's overwhelming for new players or not

[dusky summit]

no

[light scaffold]

nope

[young mortar]

Apple just uses the power of their whole ecosystem to make Find My super great, every apple device helps in the network and makes it super accurate

definitely one of the pros of their vast adoption lol

[naive agate]

[latent schooner]

Pro tip- superglue an airtag to an android phone

best of both worlds

[young mortar]

pfft lmao

[latent schooner]

am I wrong?

[sullen sorrel]

samsung's got it too but it's disabled by default i think

so only like 1% of people probably have it enabled

☹️

[young mortar]

and they don't have it for their other devices probably

[light scaffold]

rofl

[latent schooner]

Google's Find My Stuff is fine if you're on wifi

I use it from time to time

[young mortar]

the reason Find My is so good is because macbooks, imacs, apple watches, iphones, ipads, etc. all contribute

[sullen sorrel]

yeah

[light scaffold]

That’s a pretty optimistic assumption though lol

[latent schooner]

Or data, sorry

Forgot that existed

[young mortar]

yeah no i definitely won't be getting an android any time soon lol

[vague walrus]

Samsungs find phone thing is great

[sullen sorrel]

android >

unless you're in like the wilderness you're likely gonna have data

at least where i go

[young mortar]

that's not a feature of android

[sullen sorrel]

wdym

[young mortar]

that's all about your service provider lmao

[sullen sorrel]

google find my device

oh u mean that

yeah true

but still

assuming you've got a good service provider

[latent schooner]

I prefer android since I can develop for android. Open is better in my case lol

not much I can do to dev on iphone

so I have no choice

[young mortar]

buy a mac mini or something

[sullen sorrel]

i thought iphone was allowing sideloading/whatever its called

soon

or smth

[light scaffold]

💀

[latent schooner]

I own a 2011 mac mini

[young mortar]

it has always been allowed lmao

[sullen sorrel]

oh

[vague walrus]

just buy into the environment - Apple

[light scaffold]

It’s already allowed, I’ve sideloaded a few things

[sullen sorrel]

but theres no like apk

simple format

[latent schooner]

but why would I use that when I could just... use something else and dev for my android?

[sullen sorrel]

or did that change

[light scaffold]

You just have to self-sign the apps and you can only do 10 signatures a week without a dev account

[young mortar]

because appealing to the market share of apple is quite useful when making apps lmao

[sullen sorrel]

oh ok thats not that bad

[latent schooner]

And appealing to the market share of... everyone else is also important

[light scaffold]

I’ve got a nice youtube vanced clone and clipboard manager

[sullen sorrel]

clipboard manager 🥲

[young mortar]

huh? I mean that when making apps, you definitely want it to be on every possible device

[light scaffold]

yeah that’s one of the few things I miss from android

[young mortar]

And Apple has roughly 23% of the market share according to this graph I just looked at

[light scaffold]

much higher in the western world

[latent schooner]

so why aim for the smaller market

[light scaffold]

that’s global market

[latent schooner]

it just overtook android in the US iirc

[young mortar]

because 23% is a fucking ton of people lmao

[latent schooner]

but in the EU and Canada it's well below

[young mortar]

tens of millions

[young mortar]

"why make this thing for men, they're only 49% of the population"

[latent schooner]

but so's the rest?

I'm not saying targeting that group is bad, I'm just saying if you only do one why only the smaller

[sullen sorrel]

i feel like iphones gonna overtake android anyways

[young mortar]

the point is that you don't only do one

[sullen sorrel]

i already see so many using iphone

[young mortar]

the point is that you do both

[light scaffold]

You wouldn’t only do one lmao

[young mortar]

yeah exactly lol

[latent schooner]

I didn't say I was only doing one

but only testing on one

I prefer android

[young mortar]

if somebody hires you to make an app and you don't make it for both, you're done lol

[latent schooner]

that's just my point of view though

[light scaffold]

It has in the us and uk, android is boosted a ton by poorer markets since it has much better budget options

[young mortar]

^

[sullen sorrel]

if you're testing then shouldn't it be better to have an iphone

[vague walrus]

Really turned this brand related thing and turned it into a gender related issue, wtf is this 🤣

[sullen sorrel]

bc there are android emulators

but no iphone emulators afaik

or at least no popular ones that i know of

[latent schooner]

Well... there's xcode

[sullen sorrel]

oh right i forgot about mac

[latent schooner]

which I can technically run if I really want to on a mac I own

[young mortar]

the point wasn't the gender, the point was that making things for smaller groups of people as well is still useful

[light scaffold]

There are on macos, you can also get a few services that basically let you Remote Desktop into an emulator

[sullen sorrel]

u gotta build ios apps on mac anyways i think

which sucks

[light scaffold]

Yeah

That is unfortunate

I mean

Depending on your perspective lol

[young mortar]

or just use some cross platform solution like Flutter or React Native and then you don't have to deal with Xcode 😌

[sullen sorrel]

Unity

🥲

[young mortar]

oh if you're making a game, sure

[light scaffold]

You still need a mac to build it I think

[sullen sorrel]

oh

[young mortar]

there are a million services to build that for you

[light scaffold]

True

[trim raft]

Android >
Windows >

[latent schooner]

Oh yeah I use react native, I'm not writing new code for each platform

[young mortar]

yikes lol

[sullen sorrel]

Android >
Windows hm

[light scaffold]

Android maybe but windows definitely fucking not

Even people that use windows will say it’s shit

[trim raft]

I retract my windows response cuz i never used linux

[naive agate]

HELLO

[young mortar]

i still disagree with the android thing, but at least you rescinded the windows lmao

[sullen sorrel]

i go on linux and see like 100+ available updates

🙃

[latent schooner]

Some people prefer android, some iphone. Some people prefer mac, and some windows (and then linux users 😎)
I feel like this argument is going nowhere though lol

[light scaffold]

yeah debating over which is better is a waste of time

Exactly!
so what does being poor have to do with androids?

I think he was joking

[young mortar]

yeah

But it’s still an L just because it’s cringe

[young mortar]

it's a little true

[light scaffold]

No it’s not

[vague walrus]

Even if it was, why are we mocking poor people

yeah that too lol

[naive agate]

We cant speak if you got an android sorry

[sullen sorrel]

also one thing thats annoying
try sending a video from ios -> android

its gonna be destroyed

[latent schooner]

easier to just have one spot

[light scaffold]

eh ig

[young mortar]

how's the twitter bot api fees lmao

[latent schooner]

instead of wondering if you got something in your snap DMs, or they sent it on instagram

or twitter or discord or telegram or messanger

[young mortar]

oh my god this guy's never heard of notifications

[light scaffold]

don’t strawman me bucko

[sullen sorrel]

theres a lot of ppl that use like fb messenger

to avoid ios android issues

[latent schooner]

To search for things

[light scaffold]

yea I used fb messenger for family conversation

[latent schooner]

that you've been sent in the past

[light scaffold]

or whatsapp

or instagram

Or snapchat

Or weibo

Or wechat

Or Vimeo

[latent schooner]

Also, sidenote- I hate notifications. but that's entirely separate

[light scaffold]

Or kik

[young mortar]

yikes if you're gonna use some random chat service at least use Signal

or some other equivalently encrypted service

[void heath]

Skype

[light scaffold]

“Random”

[young mortar]

bro i never heard of wechat or weibo

[vague walrus]

china

[young mortar]

and vimeo is like a video sharing website lmao

[young mortar]

that makes sense

[latent schooner]

in the Western World wechat isn't popular

[light scaffold]

clearly you don’t have chinese international students at your university

[young mortar]

[naive agate]

Lmao 😂

[magic summit]

I'm famous now I guess 😎

[naive agate]

Famous I see

You are prob other videos aswell

[magic summit]

Idk.

Once someone found a comment from me on a video they watched

[naive agate]

That’s creepy haha 😂

[magic summit]

Also, unrelated, but I still recall that Discord Dev AMA where someone faked my name to post about my discussion regarding their bad bot verification.

[naive agate]

Wait fr

[magic summit]

Yeah. On the page you can set any name, so someone just used mine and wrote a comment about the bad verification while linking to my discussion.
I didn't hate it too much, but still reported for impersonation

[naive agate]

Oh damn did it get removed

[smoky solstice]

comment and get tons of likes to get even more famous

[magic summit]

yes

Guess what I did

@smoky solstice

[smoky solstice]

not the kind of comments that will blow up but ok lol

[magic summit]

Meh.

[blazing oar]

Mee6 do be a big scam imo

[magic summit]

I say what I think

[blazing oar]

they put everything behind a paywall

[naive agate]

Ong wasn’t like this before they switched up for the money

[light scaffold]

you exposed yourself by posting publicly on the internet

[woven prairie]

@magic summit https://youtu.be/EqLBdLBxhds?t=31 lol

[magic summit]

I mean.... yes. I did show that screenshot...

[magic summit]

It's no excuse to not take time to ask first.

• The post was made a year ago, so I basically forgot about it
• I never expected it to have any great exposure, let alone be shown in a video

Posting it in public is no free ticket for people to use it for anything. I have the right to remain anonamous on such things.

[light scaffold]

I have the right to remain anonamous on such things
no you don't actually

you can't seriously expect someone to track you down just to ask if it's okay for a screenshot to be shown for half a second on a youtube video

[long summit]

You do if you protect your tweets

[light scaffold]

true!

if you don't want it to be publicly viewable, you can do that

you dont have any right to privacy if you posted it publicly

[magic summit]

That's not true. Right of privacy won't go away because something is public

Otherwise every TV show showing rl footage wouldn't need to censor people in the streets

"It's public!"

[light scaffold]

they quite literally don't need to do that

a TV show doesnt blur out everyone in the background

[magic summit]

You would be surprised

I haven't seen any tv show that doesn't do this here in europe

Unless the people in question agreed on it

[wary willow]

andre. you forget that different countries have different laws.

[light scaffold]

even so, it's not the same thing lmao

[woven prairie]

Realistically, there's no expectation of privacy in public

[light scaffold]

^

being in a public space in the background is not the same as voluntarily posting publicly on twitter

hell, the entire point of social media is that other people see what you say

[magic summit]

You don't get my points and I won't waste my time trying to explain it further (Especially since it would be difficult to explain in english anyways)

[light scaffold]

okay man

suit yourself

but dont post publicly if you dont want people to see it

[magic summit]

I do want to people to see it. But I don't expect someone taking it and putting it in a video. Especially with the level of exposure I have on Twitter anyways

[light scaffold]

what's the difference?

Especially with the level of exposure I have on Twitter anyways
so it would be okay if it was a famous person?

[magic summit]

?

[light scaffold]

why does the level of exposure matter

[magic summit]

I mean... One is a celebrity (i.e. a singer), the other a normal person. Who do you think expects to be mentioned and shown in a video?

[light scaffold]

yeah so this

[boreal escarp]

I can assure you nobody cares about the person that replied to that tweet

[light scaffold]

^

it was literally on screen for half a second

[wary willow]

Man. I love HelpChat. There's always a reason to argue.

[boreal escarp]

"Name 1 person (whatever else is there)"

[boreal escarp]

I want to hop in and say that Wandavision is actually nice. Thanks for your attention.

[light scaffold]

ehhh

[wary willow]

you used to be 300k away couple months ago. 2-3 more months at most and you'll do it

[wary willow]

maths?

[light scaffold]

oh yeah lmfao

183k*

[wary willow]

1489963-1306422=183541 according to google

idk maths

so I'll trust it

[light scaffold]

yeah if we keep having discussions like this i'll be #1 again in no time!

[wary willow]

🙂

[light scaffold]

shame XP doesnt sync with the spigot discord, i had a lovely conversation in there earlier

[wary willow]

why are you still in the spigot discord?

that's the real conversation we should have

[light scaffold]

good question

it is truly something

[wary willow]

Either way, I'm still the only one with Tier X. Feels bad 😭

[light scaffold]

for now 😏

i wonder what happens when the bot runs out of tiers

[wary willow]

Yeah. You must have too many neurons. I almost ran out of mines for being there.

[wary willow]

I mean even at tier x it broke

[light scaffold]

oh yeah i lost a lot in the past hour

[wary willow]

for a period of time I didn't have access to #dev-general, and when I got the tier, it just removed tier ix and I had no tier for a period

[light scaffold]

it broke at tier 3 too lmao

[wary willow]

yeah. we're talking about funnycube's code here

not surprised

[boreal escarp]

@long summit "the random update", looks like a video with multiple memes lmao

[naive agate]

LMAO

Hey @fallow crow your post in #1070594802103636008 is being removed #1070594802103636008 message for bumping this is a warning 🙂

[tacit nova]

he just said why

[naive agate]

@fallow crow You bumped your message

[wary willow]

because that's what the rules are

[naive agate]

because its against our rules we only allow 1 same service request per month

You can read more about it in our rules

[wary willow]

Service channels get reset every month. So if we would allow everyone to just bump as much as they'd want, we'd just get people bumping every few seconds maybe even automating it which would be unfair

[blazing oar]

and he left

[naive agate]

o

[tacit nova]

some people...

[full atlas]

I think it should be like 1-5 days before bumping. 1 month is a pretty long time and a lot of messages could be written after yours.

[tacit nova]

disagree

[sullen sorrel]

I agree
although imo it should be like 1 week and requiring deleting old request

[tacit nova]

if it would be one week they should be resetted every week

[sullen sorrel]

wdym

no not reset

since then everyone has to repost

people at the bottom don't need to repost

only people at the top

[full atlas]

The bot already requires a format so the bot can create the messages and keep track of who posted.

[tacit nova]

those requests suck ass (mostly) so bumping would make it more painful

[sullen sorrel]

• most people unfortunately don't say if the request is taken or not (by editing or deleting)

[sullen sorrel]

although note that people can post multiple different requests

the bot already automates #1070594804259500042

[full atlas]

^^^

And if a request is taken but doesn't get followed through the user can't repost for a month (depending how many days till the first)

[sullen sorrel]

personally, I usually only look at requests that are like < 3 days old (i remember one time I took a request within like a couple minutes but it was already taken lol)

well

that was back when i checked #1070594800950194237

i haven't checked recently (in like the past couple months/year I'd say?) so idk if it's changed any since

[blazing oar]

what if, hear me out, the bot automatically detected if it was a copy pasta, if it was, it would check the last message sent, if it was over a week ago, it would delete that old message and let the new message come

[naive agate]

no

😉

[blazing oar]

fair enough

[zenith mauve]

oh god, whyy

[full atlas]

Anyone know a good audio interface/mixer?

Needs XLR input, USB output, separate power input and a headset output.
Preferably under $100 as well.

[young mortar]

define "mic output"

and "usb output" actually

you're also unlikely to find one with separate power input from the usb connection for less than $100

[full atlas]

Sorry headset output.

Just a connection from the mixer to PC I would prefer USB rather then aux.

I found a few for under $100 but asking around to see if anyone has one they like.

[young mortar]

the Focusrite Scarlett Solo is ~$100, less if you get it used, and it is a superb audio interface

I use the 2 port version (the 2i2) as I do audio for live theatre sometimes and I love it, never had any problems

[full atlas]

Saw that one but the one I saw was single USB with no separate power.

[young mortar]

yeah like I said you're likely not going to get separate power for that cheap

and also you're only going to be getting one USB for that cheap

what needs do you even have by the way lol

[full atlas]

Well my current DAC is single USB for power/data but it has the electrical wirr sound so need separate power delivery.

[young mortar]

that's an issue with your DAC

interference doesn't manifest in digital audio like that

that would be significantly worse

$40 on amazon from a noname brand is not what you want to see lmao

that also is like, an actual mixer kind of, not really an audio interface

[full atlas]

Never heard of behringer lol its just came in a kit with an audio-technica mic, stand, headset and dac.

[young mortar]

oh no Behringer is pretty good

i mean the one you just linked

ALPOWL

it's more of a "you get what you pay for" kind of situation

[full atlas]

I know but I'm saying "no name" I never heard of behringer till I got that lol

[young mortar]

okay well go look up ALPOWL vs Behringer and see what the results are lmao

also just curious, which AT mic?

[full atlas]

Yeah not saying it's better just saying in terms of knowing the brand names

[full atlas]

2020

[young mortar]

2020?

[full atlas]

Yeah was editing

[young mortar]

yeah I mean I'd just go with a Scarlett

or try to diagnose what issues you're having, certainly might be user error

[full atlas]

Tested everything it's definitely the dac.

[young mortar]

make sure your gain isn't too high, your phantom power is on, etc.

[full atlas]

Only finding that Scarlett one for $119

[young mortar]

could try used

but yeah i mean you get what you pay for

if you don't want to deal with the hassle, get a usb mic instead of XLR lol

[full atlas]

I have had a few in the past I prefer the xlr.

Blue snowball, Razer viper, cheap condensers etc...

[young mortar]

well the thing is, you can get the AT2020 for USB

and most people do tbh lol

if you want a higher quality condenser, check out the Blue Yeti, that thing's a beast

[full atlas]

Well if I go with another mic it would be an upgrade. More then likely to a sure.

[young mortar]

to a Shure?

[full atlas]

But that will be when I actually have the money to spend

[young mortar]

gonna go the classic SM7B moment? lol

[full atlas]

?

[young mortar]

you know, the SM7B

the Shure microphone marketed at gamers and streamers

unless you have another one in mind?

[full atlas]

Ah yeah think that's the one.

[young mortar]

well you're gonna need a lot of gain for that bad boy

and a preamp thing usually too if you want it to sound real good

prepreamp i suppose

[full atlas]

Yeah like I said though if i had the funds I'll have the funds for better equipment it needs

[young mortar]

no reason to skimp out on a shitty audio interface right now, when you could just get a good one and keep it when you upgrade

[full atlas]

I won't have the funds for that for years lol

[young mortar]

you won't have $120 for years?

[full atlas]

Oh I was still talking about the shure

[young mortar]

yeah I'm saying that you can get a good audio interface right now, then in years when you upgrade, you won't need to buy a new one

and ideally, your current microphone will also sound better

unless it's like, some other issue

[dusky summit]

funds management, amirite?

[young mortar]

lol

[full atlas]

Well "need" isn't the issue. I can deal with what I have now. I just hate the sound of Nvidia broadcast and noise gates

[young mortar]

not sure what Nvidia broadcast is, but noise gates are always going to be a thing, you just need to set them up right so that you can't tell they're happening

i'd also recommend turning down the gain on your audio interface if you're having noise issues, as that's likely the problem

that poor preamp can only do so much lol

[full atlas]

AI noise cancelation

[young mortar]

ah well, you can always try just reducing the noise period first and then you don't need to do much noise cancellation

[full atlas]

At all positions of the dial there is still an electrical whir

[young mortar]

and you're sure it's not your microphone and/or XLR cable?

[full atlas]

Yeap

[young mortar]

did you test both of those independently with another audio interface?

[full atlas]

Even tried a different usb cable to make sure that wasn't the cause. Same issue. (Also multiple ports on my pc)

[young mortar]

.

[full atlas]

I have nothing to test the XLR independently.

[young mortar]

and the mic?

[full atlas]

Same it's xlr.

[young mortar]

So you have no idea it's the audio interface, it could be the XLR cable or the mic

[full atlas]

But I also know it's the dac because it gets a "tick" sound and other static through the headset.

[young mortar]

that could very much be from your XLR and or mic

[full atlas]

That I tested plugged into the dac and PC aux

[young mortar]

that's likely just because it's a shitty 3.5mm jack

[full atlas]

It's not the 3.5 but I did try with both

[young mortar]

electrical interference can only come through the analog parts of the setup (ie. the cable, the mic, and a small part of the audio interface)

[young mortar]

you have a full quarter inch headset? regardless, same thing applies

there's always going to be noise with analog stuff

[full atlas]

Yeap

[young mortar]

unless it just has like weak preamps or something, but I guess we'll never know

i mean do whatever you want lol, it'd be kinda funny if you bought a shitty $40 noname amazon mixer

[full atlas]

Could always return it.

[young mortar]

sure lol

[full atlas]

God even the goxlr mini is $230

[young mortar]

The goxlr is far from cheap and is far from quality

it's overhyped and marketed very well for what it is lol

also unless you're actually mixing things, you absolutely do not need a full mixer

just stick with a normal audio interface

[full atlas]

Quality is pretty good honestly listened to alot of audio tests. But yeah price is way to high

[young mortar]

it's all right

it's a consumer level marketed mixer lmao

its a game trial

@neat kraken as you can see a lot of it is done using deluxemenus meta placeholders, which essentially is just a player-specific variable storage

so you can store a keyboard meta value which would just store the current entry, then you manipulate that meta different ways and just update the menu (in this case the title needs you to re-open the menu with [openguimenu])

[smoky solstice]

make sure your minecraft server is running
theres a minimum CPU, memory, or network requirement

i dont remember the exact requirements

but my instances have been running fine
