oh i know roughly about them, unicode has way more chars than ascii
primal summit
Ascii is 8 bits (1 byte), and much simpler, so we'll go with that. How many discrete numbers, letters, and symbols are you familiar with in the english language?
deep copper
26 letters, smal and cap so x2, 10 digits, and symbols idk how to count those in any order
primal summit
8 bits allow 256 different combinations, more than the typically used set, so some combinations aren't needed
deep copper
wait there are unnecessary stuff in it too then ?!
primal summit
in ascii, some were reserved for control characters to tell the screen what to do (up, down, newline, left, right, rtl or ltr, and so on), but there are still more options than that can fill
so some were drawing characters, some literally nothing
now onto multi-byte unicode...
deep copper
somehow, it's kinda mysterious and scary, these un-needed void character
i think i am aware of there being multiple types of unicode, each with different size of byte used
the point was so that every language and every character in the universe can be represented by unicode char set or something
pearl elk
aliens will message us in unicode
deep copper
we got a cool Egyptian bird in it
primal summit
the point was so that every language and every character in the universe can be ...
not really, but they try to be inclusive and comprehensive
deep copper
aliens will message us in unicode
your pfp goes well with this
deep copper
not really, but they try to be inclusive and comprehensive
oh yeah, didn't they also include emojis ?
primal summit
yep
deep copper
i think some were made up of 2 chars or something, the emojis
primal summit
yeah, there are modifiers
deep copper
either way, most solutions about fixing unsupported char involves switching to unicode i think
primal summit
are you familiar with diacritics?
deep copper
probably not the term, i am bad at remembering term names
is it like ôâŠmodification stuff in other languages
where symbols get added
deep copper
cool ! i recall this roughly then, it kinda makes sense though, so that's what combo emojis used huh π€
deep copper
Γ‘ Γ Γ£ Γ€
this makes sense, probably easier to make chars this way too
deep copper
technically, you can stack diacritics in unicode
as in, more than 2?
pearl elk
Id just cheat, use arabic numerals underneath and just unicode the buttons
primal summit
yep
deep copper
yep
wait, so then, wouldn't that lead to infinite possibilities or like a real high amount of characters being possible?
it's already high i think but combo and stacking would be, quite big
bleak remnant
what's it for c++? i cannot find anything
pearl elk
I wonder what a Mayan calculator would be like
bleak remnant
they didnt have those back then
pearl elk
Im sure theyve upgraded their tablets by now

i always wondered what in the world that was and how it was a thing
so it's just stacking and stuff

it makes it nearly impossible to ping and thus use bots to moderate, and on a big server, finding them in the scroll list is very hard, so they can suck a ban for being "clever" or "creative"

Zalgo username is just annoying server griefing
Discord shouldn't even allow Zalgo character, but here we are
primal summit
but they kind of have to
how do you define legit vs not diacritic use?
a lot of different-looking english characters are actually cryllic, and blocking the non-latin character set alienates asia
quasi mantle
Fortunately since I'm coding a discord bot in C++, I can have it instaban Zalgo character
And by Zalgo characters I mean the one mangling characters beyond line boundaries
deep copper
make it auto give hugs to people
quasi mantle
Perhaps there should be threshold on minimum allowed zalgo characters before the bot insta-ban it π€
primal summit
start by requiring the first 3 characters to be on the standard US english keyboard layout
deep copper
oh that would be best for banning and searching and pining
pearl elk

That might be too cruel, just the limit might be doable

quasi mantle
the reason for first 3 is easy to ping for basically anyone

adjust as appropriate
also it need not be their user name, just their displayed nickname
deep copper
start with 3 digit number, then
pearl elk
deep copper
it would look really weird, probably not needed if #id numbers worked that way
quasi mantle
Nah, just limiting dialect character should do
I mean, surely legitimate names won't have as much dialect character as that presented by Zalgo texts.
deep copper
yes!
there should already by some zalgo identifying algorithms
i believe someone would have tried dealing with this sometime probably
quasi mantle
Arabic can contain at most 3 diacritical marks per letter, for example
warm bloom
I've done a decent amount of research and I think I may go with procedural generation for my landscape
seems like a fun thing to mess with
quasi mantle
The Quran would have 3 diacritical marks on a single Arabic letter, including madda (longer vowels, longer than the long variations of the normal harakats/vowels)
Even then AFAIK it's kinda rare to do so in modern writing of Arabic names
So max 3 diacritical mark per letter should suffice
If one letter contains 4 or more marks, then the bot would detect it as Zalgo text and issue an "entryway soft ban"
At least this way the bot could ban zalgo text without becoming racist by accident
warm bloom

so factorio. I made a custom map, I'm nearly done the playthrough... started with 8 full blue lanes of copper and iron each... Still feels like I'm running low π¦ Thinking of adding another 8 of each, if I have room... or possibly adjusting the map and starting over π ...again
cursive crypt
oof wow
Don't say you are a beginner
I'm barely keep 30 spm and I feel like a god.
Like 2-3 belts of copper/iron
tulip orbit
I'm not but I keep making the same mistakes, making things too congested, and then running out of belts for copper mainly
cursive crypt
Copper is never enuf late in the game
tulip orbit
never enough greens and reds either
cursive crypt
Greens are kinda easier I think. Reds bug me out. Like there are so many things to go wrong before their stage.
Like the freaking coal I showed you earlier.
tulip orbit
Hard to see, but my char is right between the greens and reds. each stack of greens uses 2 full blue copper belts, and an iron belt

Hello everyone,
I am very new to Unreal Engine stuff. I am not so much trying to develop a new UE game, just trying to mod existing ones (specifically, I'm trying to mod Alice Madness Returns in UE3 build 690 without the use of a UDK since the game shipped with cooked assets). If I did not join the right Discord server for that, please let me know. It doesn't look like I did, but I figured I'd ask and confirm first before leaving.

Yeah.
I thought Satisfactory was awesome.
I just thought it was pretty limited in production trees and challenge.

It could be a byproduct of games as a service, it has this feel to it where you can tell the developers added a system then went off to work on something else. Then they come back to it and fix it but break other things, it feels different to those 90s/00s games that just were

Consider a text string. You want to convert everything to uppercase, which is easiest by ANDing a specific bit. You can't do boolean operations on chars. Or the quake 3 small angle approximation, which involves integer and boolean operations on raw floating point.
erm, fast inverse square root...

Quake 3 sucked lolol
primal summit
honestly, I suck at C and I doubt you know the assembly to make sense of it, but uppercase letters start at 0100 0001 binary and lowercase at 1100 0001, meaning you can OR each character with 1000 0000 binary to convert to upper, or AND with 0111 1111 binary to convert to lowercase, or XOR with 1000 0000 binary to flip case

In C++(and other typed languages), char, int, float, arrays, strings are all treated differently. You can't do certain things to certain types. Operations to add a pair of floats use different instructions than operations adding a pair of ints. You can't add characters. Typeless languages view all data as just 1s and 0s. I can add characters, although the result may not make sense. I can use integer operations on floats, although the result won't be the same as using floating point operations. If I add 1 to a float with an integer instruction, I'm increasing the exponent instead of adding 1. If I add 1 to a character, I get the next letter. I can do character, floating point, logic, and integer operations on 4 different elements of an array, then use a 5th as a target pointer for a function call. I can use data as instructions and instructions as data in the most extreme of cases.
types remove the programmer's responsibility for data management but also restrict the programmer

tulip orbit
Ooh, ok I will try that! Thanks! Is game/datalayers best place to put the info?
probably have to close the project before running it too eh?
nimble kayak
yeah i'd close it first. Regarding that path, I had just tried "/DataLayers/" like you did at first, but by that point it specifically warned me it had to start with one among a big list of other folders including "/Game/", which is the root of all asset folders. Only after changing it to like shown above did it work
I had also previously ran into a bunch of issues previously like stuff not being in quotes that needed to as well. Try out the command exactly as i wrote it to you
tulip orbit
Ok very much thanks
nimble kayak
let me know if it works or not
tulip orbit
Looks like its still giving me the ambiguous long package name
My OpenWorld map is in Towny5.1/Content/Maps
Do I need to have the map registered in a map list somewhere?

does it say "the path does not start with a '/', which is required for LongPackageNames"?
and no, not that I know of. The correct way to specify the map name is indeed just in quotes without .umap at the end

at this point I'm going to write it off as a 5.1 bug
nimble kayak
hmm, I see - are the data layer assets in the folder for you at least?
tulip orbit
no...
nimble kayak
oof
one possibility is that when we specified the .umap extension, that actually prevented it from finding it at all, even though it also removed the ambiguous asset name problem. If you want to try again, what I'd try is to first temporarily delete the Thumbnails/OpenWorld asset (make sure you're deleting the thumbnail and not that actual level π ), then use the original command I sent (where the level name does not end with .umap)
tulip orbit
