yes

acoustic pilot
#

you trynna run your server on nodejs runtime? lol

#

i don't think that's how it works buddy

gloomy sphinx
#

it came like that!

#

I did not touch

#

why did it come like this

#

the heck is going on

acoustic pilot
#

You probably want to copy the Ptero Dockerfile

#

And then use openjdk:11-jdk

gloomy sphinx
#

yeah ill do that

acoustic pilot
#

And build using the same entrypoint script

gloomy sphinx
#

This is essentially a default ptero install

#

stock

#

so I have no idea why 10-alpine would be set

#

I wonder if there is a reason

void void
#

the node part is the one thats weird

#

10-alpine is just the version of node

gloomy sphinx
#

Why is the original ptero dockerfile so different from the github ptero?

void void
#

oh this is for the panel itself

gloomy sphinx
#

It's the daemon dockerfile though

#

My panel is on another server

#

Unless there are two dockerfiles on the daemon install?

void void
#

i have no idea whats going on ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

gloomy sphinx
#

Me neither ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

oh I see

void void
#

thats what youre looking for, no?

gloomy sphinx
#

yeah but where would that go?

void void
#

no idea

#

i have never used this panel, i know nothing about it

gloomy sphinx
#

no worries

#

It seems weird there is a nodejs dockfile in the daemon right

void void
#

the daemon is node, so that makes sense

gloomy sphinx
#

I should probably just leave it at java 8

#

since I have no idea what I am doing

void void
#

quay.io/pterodactyl/core:java

#

i guess swap that for your own custom image

#

based upon their one i linked

gloomy sphinx
#

yeah you're right that will probably do it

void void
#

maybe you should be asking in their support channel

gloomy sphinx
#

yeah I did but I dont think people know how

#

everyone here seems to know everything

void void
#

its cool that pterodactyl uses docker

gloomy sphinx
#

yeah I like it

#

I need to fully read the docker docs because I am only half familiar with it

#

missing lots of the puzzle pieces but I use it with unraid a lot

#

Well it looks like ptero screwed up the paper egg

cosmic raft
#

the what

gloomy sphinx
#

quay.io/pterodactyl/core:java where the spigot egg is using quay.io/pterodactyl/core:java-glibc

#

and that is why I am receiving plugin errors

#

the egg!

native thunder
#

I think the egg files are on parker's github

#

Eggs are basically templates for servers

gloomy sphinx
native thunder
#

Oracle Java vs open jdk maybe?

#

I dunno. I know nothing about that

gloomy sphinx
#

the ptero team screwed us over!

cosmic raft
#

so PR a fix

gloomy sphinx
#

done but that sucks if users on ptero select the paper egg

#

then from then on think paper is the issue for plugins not loading

lavish lichen
#

ptero ๐Ÿคข

gloomy sphinx
#

@cosmic raft

#

probably not a good thing for paper?

#

considering plugins dont really load properly

#

nevermind, I see it is the plugin devs issue for not supporting openjdk

acoustic pilot
#

Could see the blame go both ways

#

Certain things need glibc

#

Running in a glibc environment offers the most support

#

Native libraries are going to be the most compatible with glibc

#

I'd be a bit surprised if sqlite/java even worked in a musl-c environment.

gloomy sphinx
#

I sent a message to the plugin dev anyway just to see what he says

#

not my place though

acoustic pilot
#

If I were a dev and someone told me my shit doesn't run in musl

#

I'd tell them to fuck off and use glibc

gloomy sphinx
#

even though it uses a old oracle jdk image?

acoustic pilot
#

yes

#

It's not about Oracle JDK

#

it's about musl vs glibc

gloomy sphinx
#

so musl is the new shit and glibc is the old shit

acoustic pilot
#

no

#

musl is what alpine linux uses

gloomy sphinx
#

oh i see

acoustic pilot
#

it's possible to use glibc in alpine though

gloomy sphinx
#

but should we?

acoustic pilot
#

uh, if you have native libraries, yes

#

glibc is the most widely used C library

#

musl is the underdog here

gloomy sphinx
#

any reason to move to musl?

acoustic pilot
#

smaller footprint

gloomy sphinx
#

yeah then who knows why they went with muscl for paper and glibc for spigot

acoustic pilot
#

they probably think people aren't running native libraries in a minecraft server

#

which would be an absolutely batshit stupid assumption to make

gloomy sphinx
#

should have gone with dietlibc /s

#

interesting

void void
#

cool

acoustic pilot
#

If they're shifting the blame to plugin developers because a plugin uses a native library that doesn't work in musl, it's 100% Ptero's fault.

#

They're the ones forcing an unsupported c lib.

#

Fortunately they do let you change it, but musl certainly should not be the default.

void void
#

alpine considered harmful

acoustic pilot
#

Getting glibc on alpine is easy enough ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

Pulls 10M+

#

Oracle Java 8 (and 7) with GLIBC 2.28 over AlpineLinux

void void
#

what do i answer if i dont have friends or work

upper flicker
#

well if you have no friends or coworkers to recommend it to

#

you cant recommend it to them

#

so youre not likely at all

void void
#

thanks, im not good at math

upper flicker
#

here's a tip

#

you can treat all math like string concat

#

2 + 2

#

22

void void
#
3```
#

theres some js math for you

upper flicker
#

wow

#

js so gud

void void
#

its bad

upper flicker
#

so powerful

#

that shows how powerful it is

#

what a wonderful language

#

I wish all languages were like that

void void
#

always use === in js

upper flicker
#

thats one more = than most other languages

#

theyre really dialing up the language features

#

so inspirational

#

All these wonderful features, power, speed, and the amazing community behind it, its no wonder spottedleaf loves JS so much

#

clearly its an ecosystem thats just as great as he is

#

they're a match made in heaven

void void

my phone just installed itself a few game tools and game optimizer apps

#

beautiful

shell vine
#

yea thats one thing i noticed about android after switching, random shit keeps getting installed

normal echo
#

What phone do you have?

shell vine
#

note 9 for me idk sweepy

normal echo
#

Pretty sure it depends on manufacturer in regards to random shit being installed

sonic sage
#

Out of curiosity how did you guys get the graphic for papermc on Discord?

shell vine
#

yea like bixby

upper flicker
#

Get listed as an OSS server with Discord, email them 300 times, get verified

#

supposedly the graphics are going to come to everyone eventually

woven otter
#

just like tacos and they will verify you

upper flicker
#

I dont think I ever asked them if they like tacos

#

darn

acoustic pilot
#

there's also a member count requirement isn't there

#

not just any OSS project can get listed

#

I assume

upper flicker
#

thats part of the initial OSS listing

#

their GH repo you submit the PR with your logo and invite code to has the details on that

acoustic pilot
#

so like you need to be a fairly popular OSS project, I take it

upper flicker
#

Verification might require that

#

I never did actually get them to say what they were looking for

#

just that we apparently met the req

#

the GH repo is relatively lax, just needs 1000 members or 1000 stars

#

    Your community is not Discord-focused (for example, Discord bots or modifications are not accepted).
    Your community has at least 1,000 members, or the GitHub repo has at least 1,000 stars.
    Your community adheres to the Discord community guidelines.
#

thats not nothing but its not that hard to get 1000 people into say an MC server focused guild

acoustic pilot
#

yeah that's not too bad

heady spear
#

We managed to do it, so everyone else can ๐Ÿ˜„

upper flicker

it was pretty impressive that many people joined a server with you in it

discord can ban you for using third party clients

#

fair warning

#

yeah i heard and took the risk, no report pls

upper flicker
#

@void void looks kinda cool

#

thicc sidebar though

heady spear
#

all report simple

void void
#

no pls

acoustic pilot
#

lol, banning for third party clients using a virtually open protocol

void void
#

they ban using your personal acct token with the API

heady spear
#

simple I've sent 45 reports now

void void
#

however, that could be stopped...easily lol. using a different token type and having the API recognize that. but watever

#

pls no

heady spear
#

ur banned

void void
#

i can't believe you've done this

#

i know they probably wont ban you just for using it, but i hate the fact that they say they will

#

apparently it's ok to use that client with a bot token

#

so u can make a bot and use the bot like a normal user with that client lol

heady spear
#

too late bcuz ur getting banned so like

void void
#

ill be back to haunt your ass

heady spear
#

maybe u should have followed the rules dude

void void
#

bet

#

.taco simple

limber knotBOT
#

gives simple a spicy taco

#

hands simple a perfect puffy taco filled with steak and topped with salsa, onion and avocado!

void void
#

yeah but then you're a bot ๐Ÿ˜›

#

good luck joining servers

#

im already a bot

heady spear
#

"puffy taco" wat

void void
#

ill puff your taco

heady spear
#

puffy taco is what I nicknamed my ass

void void
#

tmi

#

i want to use this client and just say screw it if i get banned

#

lol it's kind of annoying though, you have to create tags for everything you use commonly via the channel id; else get the channel id every time lol

#

discord sucks

#

i.e. /g <guildid>; /c <channelid> or /tag <name> <id> then /g $<name> or /c $<name>

vestal jasper
#

They say they will so they can when they want to and dont get fucked when they decide to.

#

Even if its not enforced often

void void
#

wait so is it using user endpoints or just bot endpoints?

#

it seems to use discord.js so i guess its just using bot endpoints

heady spear
#

why is vic here

void void
#
Discord's API provides a separate type of user account dedicated to automation, called a bot account. Bot accounts can be created through the applications page, and are authenticated using a token (rather than a username and password). Unlike the normal OAuth2 flow, bot accounts have full access to all API routes without using bearer tokens, and can connect to the Real Time Gateway. Automating normal user accounts (generally called "self-bots") outside of the OAuth2/bot API is forbidden, and can result in an account termination if found.

that's wat it sez

heady spear

that's wat it sex indeed

@heady spear

heady spear

No

heady spear

am need study exam but no want so u help

void void

so silly

#

the thing is, reg user accounts have bot tokens lol

vestal jasper

discord can ban you for using third party clients

well, generally they ban you if you mod og client

gusty idol
#

@void void Did you delete your Discord server again?

void void
#

says @upper flicker the man who retired #paper the irc version

upper flicker
#

#paper is entirely present right now

#

youre speaking on it

void void
#

IT SAID THE BRIDGE WAS STOPPED.

limber knotBOT
#

ok am happ then

gusty idol
#

How does the new command system in 1.13 work with old plugins

#

Does it break anything?

upper flicker
#

not really

#

it now sends the tab complete packet on every keystroke though

gusty idol
upper flicker
#

so if youre just returning basic results youre okay

#

if youre doing stupid shit it just got a lot more expensive

limber knotBOT
#

o i c i c there is #paper-help

gusty idol
#

Why would you they do that

upper flicker
#

they dont

#

well they do

gusty idol
#

What

upper flicker
#

its complicated

#

they have to

#

bukkit cant pregenerate a list of possible subcommands and tab completions and inform the client before hand

gusty idol
#

Ohhh does 1.13 have IDE-like auto-completion?

#

Is that why they do that?

upper flicker
#

because bukkit doesnt necessarily know wtf youre doing in your executors

#

it has a much nicer auto complete yes

void void
#

@gusty idol safe yourself some overthinking and use ACF https://github.com/aikar/commands

gusty idol
#

REEEEE

void void
#

dont ree ACF

upper flicker
#

ACF doesnt save you from the issue

void void
#

ACF is life

gusty idol
#

I like my library

#

๐Ÿ˜ค

void void
#

ACF OR DIE @gusty idol

upper flicker
#

it just makes it nicer to write the same old executors youve been writing

void void
#

I challenge you to a duel

gusty idol
#

I guess I'll die

void void
#

@upper flicker you're right but shut up

#

they can ban you for whatever they want

#

ye lol

gusty idol
#

What if you have a server network that uses Docker to make each minigame running a different server and then stop/delete the server once the game is over

#

And each server won't have more than say, 20 players

void void
#

although i am having trouble with ACF a lil bit with a command that has 2 contexts. it can do it but the autocomplete fux up bc there is no way to do a conditional autocomplete unless there is and im rarted

gusty idol
#

Even when completing player names, it shouldn't make the server lag too much, should it

void void
#

i mean, my network is using docker

#

it shouldn't

#

i commonly provision new containers, delete containers etc

#

not a big deal

gusty idol
#

What the fuck

heady spear
gusty idol
#

I'm looking at the cpython source code

#

What is the point of this

int
PyToken_ThreeChars(int c1, int c2, int c3)
{
    switch (c1) {
    case '*':
        switch (c2) {
        case '*':
            switch (c3) {
            case '=': return DOUBLESTAREQUAL;
            }
            break;
        }
        break;```
void void
#

first of all what is that fucking code style

#

secondly ehy

gusty idol
#

Why don't they just do this?

int
PyToken_ThreeChars(int c1, int c2, int c3)
{
    switch (c1) {
    case '*':
        if (c2 == '*' && c3 == '=') {
            return DOUBLESTAREQUAL;
        }

        break;
upper flicker
#

Ive seen that style before

#

it is indeed cancer

void void
#

it's gonna get optimized by compiler anyway

gusty idol
#

Isn't it the BSD style

upper flicker
#

I dont remember what its actually named

void void
#

so doesn't matter

gusty idol
#

It's not because "it's gonna get optimized by compiler anyway" that you should write code that will make any sane developer throw up

void void
#

nothing's perfect in this world

#

honestly i can kinda imagine why it is done that way

gusty idol
#

Also why do they just int instead of char for the parameters

void void
#

pytoken_threechars func name should give you a hint already

gusty idol
#

no

#

There is no reason to have a switch with a single case

void void
#

try bitching at them :P

#

seems like another case of "project has grown large, no need to touch if it works"

#

see git blame

#

i wonder who made it and when

#

i bet it's from python 1.x

upper flicker
#

its autogenerated

#

they may have other cases where they actually need the switch cases

#

and given that its autogen template code anyway theyre fine letting the compiler clean up so long as it remains maintainable

void void
#

thats big project experience talking boys

upper flicker
#

their main build config file is 18000 lines

void void
#

im done

upper flicker
#

with other supporting files

#

Im sure theyve got it relatively clean given its python

#

but still... just ugh

void void
#

clean?

#

lol

#

nopeh

#

as much as i've played with my toy distro then python 3 packaging broke from every corner if i wanted to install it how i wanted (and how other distros kinda do)

upper flicker
#

well when you support as many distros, filesystems, architectures, and random wackadoodle shit as them

#

its never going to be clean

#

hence the relatively given its python

#

that build file is full of like "ooh if we're on this platform we have to redo all this"

#

its 18000 lines

void void
#

redo all the things

upper flicker
#

clean is more theoretical at that level

void void
#

theoretical lmao

upper flicker
#
 # The cast to long int works around a bug in the HP C Compiler

modding the android client is so much easier tho

Hi

merry talon
#

so to run nginx in docker with the modules I want I had to copy its Dockerfile, modify it to copy in the modules, specify them for ./configure, and then query the github API so I don't have to always update it to the latest version

#

there's gotta be a better way..

#

programs are finally updating to support macos dark theme โค

#

truly the power of apple that no one else can do: Apple can actually release a dark theme and make everyone else update

merry talon
#

how do the programs get that info? is there an equivalent of the win32 api?

#

I would hope that they include an option to ignore that

#

some dark themes look like shit

@quasi valley is this a new game or addon to BL2/BPS?

#

i really enjoy borderlands. me and my brother recently finally beat it

#

on BL2

#

oh i see "borderlands 3" at end

quasi valley
#

Will probably be announced tomorrow, but a morse message says "count the sirens".. which are 3 :p

#

ah

#

I really love bl 2, though pre sequel not so much

slim nymph
#

i need to do PreSequel too

#

im a completionist ๐Ÿ˜›

quasi valley
#

it's... fine for me, but no way near to the experience I had in 2

slim nymph
#

but yeah BL series i ngeneral is excellent

#

i totally found a farming exploit on The Warrior in BL2 lol

#

after we beat him, we just afk'd and let my robot kill all the bird things

#

free xp farm

quasi valley
#

oh wow ๐Ÿ˜‚

slim nymph
#

i have the perk that kills extend robots time, so it stays out

#

then just go collect all the loot too

#

we got like 4 levels while playing a card game lol

quasi valley
#

I'll probably sit in my chair the second the game comes out (if it looks actually promosing) and play it with 1 or 2 others

#

also, you can grab this shift code for a bandit mask C35TB-WS6ST-TXBRK-JJH6H๏ปฟ from the teaser :p

golden gust
#

I'm not sure I ever completed the original, but to play it I'd need to rebuy it, but it also doesn't play too well on windows because of the 5k screen :/

slim nymph
#

xbox ๐Ÿ˜›

#

is that BL2/Xbox?

#

i know the shift codes are platform specific

quasi valley
#

oh, then it's pc

slim nymph
#

i have a sheet of them printed out lol

golden gust
#

Never really gamed on a console, only games I really loved was some of the original resident evils

slim nymph
#

went through and filtered the codes list to all active using some jquery logic on a wiki page and printed a filtered list

#

@golden gust oh man i wanna buy RE2

#

that was a classic from my childhood

#

the only game i can remember that actually instilled fear

golden gust
#

I remember the originals, especially as I loved the game and my bother was scared, He'd ask me if there was zombies through a door, and well, "no" ahhhhhh

@slim nymph 3 days and no reply to my PR about bulgarian language

shell vine

ah i played through it again recently, put on better loot mod, was funner

slim nymph
#

@worldly condor you can load language files locally if you want it for now

#

does anyone here know Bulgarian

worldly condor
#

i dont think so

#

except me

slim nymph
#

ill get to it soon

#

i got a lot to do ๐Ÿ˜›

worldly condor
#

also, can i try finishing the jda ?

slim nymph
#

id prefer not

#

no offense but you dont have the experience for it

worldly condor
#

r u sure 'bout dat

slim nymph
#

yes

shell vine
#

just curious hows that mob region ticking thing going

worldly condor
#

i have experience with jda

slim nymph
#

i've seen your attempts at API design

#

ida is currently usable

#

it needs some more api design considerations for permission management is the only thing really missing

worldly condor
#

permission management? hmm

ancient bolt
#

Aikar throwin' the fire today

slim nymph
#

lol

ancient bolt
#

I'm all for it

worldly condor
#

lemme see wat u have in my fork

slim nymph
#

API design isnt easy

#

you did a lot of wtf things in your waterfall stuff

#

its ok, youll learn over time

ancient bolt
#

Read effective java 3rd edition for some great tips on API design

slim nymph
#

just saying i dont think your ready to contribute a critical api design to the project

ancient bolt
#

But also, gotta learn by doing

#

takes practice and time

worldly condor
#

we're close to jda 4

slim nymph
#

thats irrelevant for api contracts

#

you bundle your own version of jda

ancient bolt
#

@upper flicker my B key is occasionally double pressing now

slim nymph
#

acf isnt needing anything from a newer jda

#

again this is part of API Design

ancient bolt
#

Idk if i should see about cleaning it or w/e

slim nymph
#

its better for ACF to use an older version so it doesnt mandate people use a newer version

#

improves compat

#

acf doesnt need a newer jda until it actually needs some newer api added

ancient bolt
#

how are acf and jda related?

slim nymph
#

you can write jda bot commands in acf

#

acf is generic, platform independent

stiff yarrow
#

@slim nymph NGL I accept PRs for locale files on pure faith that they didn't put anything naughty into it ๐Ÿ˜ข

#

aikar, you should use GuildMessageReceivedEvent, but not MessageReceivedEvent

#

Guild is better

slim nymph
#

and what if someone wants to do private PM's?

fallen oracle
#

@stiff yarrow You should look into Crowdin

stiff yarrow
#

@fallen oracle I have

#

that $$$ tag

slim nymph
#

see, you arent making good thoughts on API design lol

stiff yarrow
#

scared me

worldly condor
#

you provide other method for dms

slim nymph
#

you can do instanceof Guild

fallen oracle
#

Ahh shit you're not open source

slim nymph
#

Guild extends MRE

stiff yarrow
#

I am open source

#

you tennen boke

fallen oracle
#

For open source it's completely free

stiff yarrow
#

no its not

fallen oracle
#

Yes it is

stiff yarrow
#

no its not

fallen oracle
#

I promise you

#

Guilds and EssentialsX is under the free open source.

stiff yarrow
#

It's free if you are open source and you have no commercial products

fallen oracle
#

Well yeah you have commerical products

stiff yarrow
#

they have a clause about commercial products

#

so I don't qualify

fallen oracle
#

So essentially I'm right about the open source y ou're njust fucked cause you have paid

#

Yup

#

Rip

stiff yarrow
#

taken what you said at face value its technically incorrect

fallen oracle
#

It's so nice, push to one file, it expands to the rest.

stiff yarrow
#

I was being pedantic

fallen oracle
#

Hey shut up

stiff yarrow
fallen oracle
stiff yarrow
#

Crowdin wants like 200+ USD a month from me

#

and I don't want that kind of financial burden

fallen oracle
#

LOL

#

Rip

stiff yarrow
#

I was going to setup pontoon but then I ran into some issues

fallen oracle
#

Yeah this is where being free helps

slim nymph
#

oh looks like guild might not extend it

fallen oracle
#

Cause I just applied for Jetbrains open source too

stiff yarrow
#

I pay for IntelliJ

#

almost all open source licenses have a no commercial product clause

#

and I don't break the law

#

๐Ÿ‘ผ

heady spear
#

you can use community edition commercially, can't you?

stiff yarrow
#

I pay for ultimate or w/e

heady spear
#

I have an educational licese and an OSS license, but I don't really use ultimate ๐Ÿ˜›

#

unless I need to generate UML diagrams

acoustic pilot
#

you get a nice discount if your subscription doesn't lapse for like X amount of months, too

fallen oracle
#

I have a stuent licenses @heady spear

acoustic pilot
#

$15/mo with max discount

#

I think

fallen oracle
#

So I've had ultimate free for 2 years now but that'd be cool to have it under my main project

slim nymph
stiff yarrow
#

I've only had a license on IntelliJ for a few months as I wasn't working Java for a long time and only started again recently, plus I used to be an eclipse boy

fallen oracle
#

edu emails have saved me so much money in life.

slim nymph
#

and I havent seen any limitations in it

fallen oracle
#

I like the licenses cause it covers all the stuff

heady spear
#

I use community edition for commercial use, and then the ultimate edition for oss shit

fallen oracle
#

So for example I can use IJ for the project, WebStorm for the project website, something else for Vue.js

#

etc

stiff yarrow
#

I don't even know the difference between community and ultimate, I just saw ultimate has a reasonable monthly billing plan and went with it

fallen oracle
#

Does that cover everything or just IJ

heady spear
#

I don't really use any of the ultimate shit tho, besides the diagram tool ๐Ÿ˜›

worldly condor
#

i cant find how to design cool api

slim nymph
#

if you end up needing a 2nd JB product after buying ultimate, just buy the entire toolbox

#

IDEA does have all the plugins, so yo ucan use every language

#

but the other IDE;s are more tailored

stiff yarrow
#

to be honest I don't know what my license covers, it at least covers IJ

heady spear
#

rich buy nossr just throws money at jetbrains .-.

fallen oracle
#

Yeah. I figured after a few years when I graduate college, if I still wanted to renew my licneses, I should get my OSS license.

heady spear
#

buy? boy lol

stiff yarrow
#

its only 15 a month @heady spear

heady spear
#

.<

#

Yeah, u rich boy

#

I don't have $15 to spend on anything

slim nymph
#

if you are doing this professionally (career), just buy the entire toolbox

#

renewal price isnt bad

acoustic pilot
#

the $15/mo (assuming it's with the max discount) is the entire suite

stiff yarrow
#

didn't you brag about paying all your bills with Minecraft money earlier city

acoustic pilot
#

every IDEA product

stiff yarrow
fallen oracle
#

Hey, that's a great IDEA.

heady spear
#

Yes, but I don't have any source of income besides that? xD

stiff yarrow
#

then I guess I have license to all IDEA products

#

even though I don't know what they are

#

@heady spear same here, well except for Patreon

acoustic pilot
#

recommend using the JetBrains Toolbox, easy to keep your stuff updated and shows what you can use

heady spear
#

WebStorm is pretty great. CLion is utter shit tho

slim nymph
#

if you use PHP, dont bother with WebStorm

fallen oracle
#

I found that emailing basically any site that I've tried so far, even if they don't claim they have a student / oss license, they typically do

slim nymph
#

get PHPStorm

#

PHPStorm = WebStorm + PHP

heady spear
#

I barely get anything from my free projects, the money I make is from comissions :d

acoustic pilot
#

IntelliJ (obv), DataGrip, PHPStorm, PyCharm are all good

fallen oracle
#

Like there's some platform you can use to drag and drop build BootStrap Websites, and I sent in an email and got a free student version

void void
#

hytale will rip mc

fallen oracle
#

What's DataGrip for?

void void
#

Wait

#

hytale

stiff yarrow
#

@void void maybe it will maybe it won't

slim nymph
#

its a DB tool competes with MySQL Workbench

fallen oracle
#

Interesting

#

Idk all I've used is pyCharm and IJ and WebStorm

void void
#

Hi mcmmo dev

acoustic pilot
#

DataGrip supports a bunch of different JDBC drivers

heady spear
#

@stiff yarrow what's the patreon for? :p I'm trying to suck money out of my users, but they're all cheap ๐Ÿ˜ 

stiff yarrow
#

I've tried to contact hytale but they ghosting on my emails peepoCryTeddy

#

@heady spear go look at my patreon page and find out

finite wave
#

IJโ€™s tools are almost all amazing

#

Jetbrians*

heady spear
#

@stiff yarrow where would I find that? do I have to google? screw that ๐Ÿ˜  I'm lazy

slim nymph
#

note that IDEA Ultimate has DataGrip built in

#

its the Database Tab

stiff yarrow
#

@heady spear you can literally type /nossr50 after the URL, I think it would be bad taste for me to link it here

slim nymph
#

just DG is nicer for a more focused db interface

heady spear
#

@stiff yarrow ur face is bad taste

slim nymph
#

thats actually the primary perk i can think of for Ultimate

acoustic pilot
#

yeah DataGrip offers a more catered UI for it

slim nymph
#

if you tie up the Database tab, you get SQL Code Completion

heady spear
#

wow you make a grand total of $145 a month

stiff yarrow
#

I'm probably paying for Ultimate features I don't even use PogU

acoustic pilot
#

I just have DataGrip open separately because I like the UI

heady spear
#

rich minecraft boy

stiff yarrow
#

on Patreon that's what I make

heady spear
#

you should give me half of it because I'm so pretty

limber knotBOT
#

ultimate also has JS + framework integration for jee and spring and stuff

coarse urchin
#

Ultimate is everything builtin lmao

limber knotBOT
#

I have java autocompletion in my thymeleaf tempaltes

slim nymph
#

@vernal moth oh i forget people do web stuff in java lol

limber knotBOT
#

spring boot <3

acoustic pilot
#

Spring apps probably occupy a huge chunk of the Java market share, but that's just a guess ๐Ÿ˜›

slim nymph
#

as much as i love java, i wouldnt use it for a web server

stiff yarrow
#

Java AS the web server?

heady spear
#

Web stuff in Java is really quite neat :]

#

All of the IntellectualSites services are written in Java, bcuz we r cool like that

void void
#

how to get jar with Intellij IDEA?

limber knotBOT
#

maven

stiff yarrow
#

I don't think I'd use Java for anything where performance was a priority

slim nymph
#

@void void mvn/gradle install/build

heady spear
#

Why not, nossr?

slim nymph
#

@stiff yarrow why? java performance is actually pretty good

limber knotBOT
#

well, we are replacing a huge chunk of jsp code with spring boot + thymeleaf

acoustic pilot
#

Why's that? Java outperforms almost everything except low level stuff.

#

Java is 20 times faster than Python or PHP.

slim nymph
#

the only place your going to get better is C/C++ and thats only if you're good enough to write faster code

limber knotBOT
#

or stuff like go

slim nymph
#

good java code is faster than abd C code

void void
#

nossr50 i use mcmmo classic at my server

slim nymph
#

If I was to rewrite MC, id still use java

#

java wasnt its problem, the code design was

stiff yarrow
#

Well you have a good point there Aikar

slim nymph
#

mojangs choices are the issues

#

BlockPositions while great for code sanity, added lots of garbage memory. ValueTypes will help in future though there

stiff yarrow
#

Isn't there a project to make an open source Minecraft server that doesn't suck active right now

slim nymph
#

MC's single threaded, world based collections, are the bottleneck design

#

sure theres 40 of them

#

none of them matter ๐Ÿ˜›

acoustic pilot
#

Yeah, poor design leading to significant GC overhead is probably one of the biggest reasons Java gets a bad rep.

heady spear
#

why do jetbrains have like 55 separate .net tools

#

that's ew

slim nymph
#

hytale wil lcome out and noone wil lcare

#

@sinful rock glowstone isnt feature complete

#

its the closest yeah

#

but need feature complete

#

and everyone makes their own project instead of helping glowstone

#

cue xkcd standards

limber knotBOT
#

does it even perform faster than paper?

slim nymph
#

dunno

stiff yarrow
#

Well if Hytale comes out and its actually good I could see Minecraft dying, I remain skeptical until I get my hands on it

slim nymph
#

well when your missing core game elements

#

of course it can be faster ๐Ÿ˜›

acoustic pilot
#

Minecraft is here to stay lol, Hytale won't kill it.

slim nymph
#

kill no, but its going to take a huge chunk

acoustic pilot
#

Hytale, at best, IMO, will maybe eat at 10% of Minecraft's active monthly playerbase.

limber knotBOT
#

like, when its already slower now there is no point in continuing other than "hur dur we are 100% open source, mojang is evil"

slim nymph
#

there will be people who dont know about hytale

acoustic pilot
#

That's still millions of players, though.

slim nymph
#

@void void what minecraft should of been

#

its basically MC, redeveloped

acoustic pilot
#

MC is at 90 million active monthly players atm.

#

I think Hytale can take 10% of that.

limber knotBOT
#

on all platforms

slim nymph
#

hasnt said

limber knotBOT
#

hytale only appeals to java players

slim nymph
#

yes

#

with less restrictions was an initial selling point

#

ie, no eula drama

acoustic pilot
#

Presumably with a centralized authentication/banning system

slim nymph
#

yes they will

acoustic pilot
#

So you get banned from the "Hytale network"

slim nymph
#

the server wil lbe 'shared source'

acoustic pilot
#

You can't just hop servers when you get banned

slim nymph
#

no decompiling needed

acoustic pilot
#

For certain offenses

slim nymph
#

.g hytale trailer

acoustic pilot
#

For example, if Hytale handles payments, they can take a cut but the burden of responsibility on chargebacks is also theirs

limber knotBOT
acoustic pilot
#

Getting banned for a chargeback means getting banned from Hytale, presumably.

I also think saying Java is faster than poorly written C/C++ goes without saying HmmCoffeeSmile

slim nymph
#

46 million views

#

it has some traction ๐Ÿ˜›

stiff yarrow
#

if Hytale is good it can take a large playerbase from Minecraft, but being good is sort of key, they haven't put out any substantial teasers, just edited ones that don't show real gameplay

#

look at Valve's artifact for an example of something everyone thought would be amazing and now only 200 people play it a day

acoustic pilot
#

Hopefully they don't collapse under the weight of their hype through unmet expectations at launch.

#

Or beta

quasi valley
#

The most people it will attract are probably the ones that dont play mc regularly anymore

acoustic pilot
#

I called out Artifact before it released. Knew that shit was gonna be stupid with their business model.

limber knotBOT
#

random question

acoustic pilot
#

No reason for people to not play Hearthstone instead.

limber knotBOT
#

when a player sleeps and gets woken up by the sunrise whatnot in minecraft

#

what time in ticks is the server set to?

acoustic pilot
#

lol the Artifact subreddit is depressing

worldly condor
#

@slim nymph how do i change help command's colors ?

nova badge
#

I can't wait to play with the servers. I get to once it is released to devs

acoustic pilot
#

I think Hytale will penetrate into all markets that Minecraft currently has a foothold in.

#

Including creative.

nova badge
#

Imagine roblox but minecraft.

#

the server is open sourced to the developers to customize it how they wish

limber knotBOT
#

never played roblox

#

have used t heir api tho

nova badge
#

Imagine garrys mod then

limber knotBOT
#

is roblox remotely like that?

#

i never understood it

stiff yarrow
#

@acoustic pilot the business model is not what killed it, I am very close to a lot of people in that scene, pro players, casters, and the like.

It was almost universally the extremely RNG oriented gameplay, poor balance at launch, and lack of a true ELO system and player progression that lead to mass disinterest from the playerbase.

quasi valley
#

tho people will need their time to create something actually special in Hytale, the only ones to do what will be Hypixel in the first few months

nova badge
#

In terms of cusomizability, ya.

acoustic pilot
#

Roblox is actually really successful, I'm surprised it's not as well-heard of

#

It has nearly as many active monthly players as Minecraft

#

Certainly more than PC Minecraft, IIRC

limber knotBOT
#

have no idea what it's about

#

and its website looks like its made for 8 year olds

golden gust
#

gr8 4 u den

stiff yarrow
#

if Hytale launches with lackluster single player/cooperative content I don't think it will do very well, its very hard to speculate on if the game is going to be fun from what little they have shown

nova badge
#

it won't. They're trying to be the better multiplayer minecraft from my understanding.

#

with my limited knowledge of its release timeline

golden gust
#

It looks somewhat interesting, but there is still a lot of questions, like, "what will players actually see"

acoustic pilot
#

It's worth remember that Minecraft multiplayer is entirely held up by the community, and Mojang puts practically zero energy into it.

#

Hytale seems to want to embrace it.

nova badge
#

I don't have those answers yet :c

limber knotBOT
#

i think they'll have a pre good server focus out of the gate, seeing as hypixel.

nova badge
#

Not until they gimme the good stuffs.

limber knotBOT
#

but yeh all speculation

nova badge
#

I wish I could say half of what I know. lol

#

but I'm excited for it

quasi valley
#

dont be

acoustic pilot
#

Either way I think it'll be successful, and definitely not a Minecraft killer, but still successful in its own right with a sizeable market that can be capitalized.

nova badge
#

^

quasi valley
#

it wont "overtake" the entire Minecraft community

nova badge
#

It'll overtake the portion of the community that wants a highly customizable experience that a vanilla server can't replicate well.

#

but not as extreme as modding

limber knotBOT
stiff yarrow
#

I mean if Hytale comes out and offers a better Minecraft experience I could see it dwarfing Minecrafts playerbase in due time, as long as they get the same kind of platform coverage

#

I just don't expect it to from what we know about it right now

main juniper
nova badge
#

I only know of the PC variant. idk what their plans are for other platforms.

#

I know the client isn't written in java

acoustic pilot
#

Considering that Mojang gives the multiplayer community and server operators/admins/developers the middle finger all the time, I think there's plenty of incentive to move over, it's just a matter of the game experience being good for players, since ultimately they'll be the ones to decide whether they want to play Hytale instead of MC. But as a developer, I'd be happy to tell Mojang to go fuck themselves.

#

If Hytale does end up taking a huge chunk of Minecraft's active playerbase, it'll be their own damn fault.

stiff yarrow
#

the only content I've seen from Hytale has been carefully edited videos, and dev blog posts designed to garner interest and hype, nothing substantial has been shown yet

which doesn't mean Hytale won't be good, its just that I wouldn't put any bets on something where we haven't even seen real gameplay yet

acoustic pilot
#

Hoping that beta is this winter or early next year.

#

So we can see more.

nova badge
#

They are going to release the software to a few people before it launches, but nothing is known other than that.

stiff yarrow
#

take No Man's Sky for example, they hyped the living shit out of it with carefully edited videos, and misleading interviews and tv spots

Once it came out, it was nothing like what everyone thought it would be. It flopped and was poorly received, although through post launch updates now most people would agree its an alright game

I wouldn't get your expectations too high for Hytale until we see something real

quasi valley
#

tho they wont deliver any proxy service, so youll have to do that on your own

acoustic pilot
#

Pretty much one dude was responsible for the whole NMS fiasco, no?

#

lol

#

but yeah, a good example of something being overhyped and not living up to expectations.

quasi valley
#

I heard it's actually fine after the few years of updates

limber knotBOT
quasi valley
#

a little late but yeah

#

old api version nickster?

limber knotBOT
#

maven is importing the 1.13 r0 snapshot atm

stiff yarrow
#

their project lead was misleading people in interviews up to release, but I'm not sure if he was making all these decisions by himself @acoustic pilot

#

after all anyone with investment in the company benefitted from those misleading interviews and the edited gameplay footage

acoustic pilot
#

Hello Games is a privately held company and Sean Murray is a founder

#

I'm almost certain this guy was in the driver's seat.

#

No shareholder obligations.

stiff yarrow
#

yeah sounds like it

acoustic pilot
#

No execs

merry talon
#

Hopefully they don't collapse under the weight of their hype through unmet expectations at launch.

#

I can guarantee they won't deliver on the expectations

#

you can't live up to this level of hype

#

it's like if half life 3 were to be announced

#

people won't be happy no matter what

quasi valley
#

nickster, the method was added somewhere around 1.13.2 I think, use 1.13.2-R0.1

limber knotBOT
#

ooo

#

lemmetry

#

works

stiff yarrow
#

anyways, I'm not trying to sound overly skeptical but Hytale has shown literally nothing substantial yet and its got millions of views on youtube, it reminds me of many games in the past that got hyped and flopped

Hytale might actually be awesome, but I don't see how people can be confident in that with what little we know

limber knotBOT
#

thanks

I think it was a combination of thinking the things he said the game would have would be easier to implement than they really were, him being vague in interviews, and Sony dictating the release date due to their marketing deal

#

With probably some just outright lying in there too and we got closer to the release date

stiff yarrow
#

he was telling many blatant lies

#

at first maybe they were on the whiteboard at some point

#

but then he kept lying about those things

#

When you can play with procedural noise code for a few hours and get a decent looking terrain to walk around on and then spend a couple months getting a decent looking procedural everything (at least for screenshots) it probably skews your perspective as to how long other functionality will take

acoustic pilot
#

And then he just vanished for a while after release, didn't he

limber knotBOT
#

I bet they planned on having multiplayer to start with but ended up spending all their time bugfixing and optimizing for PS4 instead when they realized multiplayer would be like a year of work

#

Kind of, he went straight back to coding

#

Was like "finally I'm done with all this press bullshit and can just work on the game again"

stiff yarrow
#

one of the biggest lies was that the game had multiplayer, in the sense that you could run into other people by chance but the mathematical odds of it would make it super unlikely, but this was debunked and not even in the game post-launch

#

lol

limber knotBOT
#

Yeah, two twitch streamers managed to go to the same place day 1

stiff yarrow
#

@acoustic pilot he still writes posts about their updates on the game, but hes been absent from any PR or media since afaik

limber knotBOT
#

Basically if he was allowed to push the release back a year or two the game would have been what he said it was

#

But he shouldn't have kept saying it was those things once he realized it wouldn't be

acoustic pilot
#

Yeah he just kept the lie going, seems like.

There were so many games flopping in the last few months, the biggest disappointment I sadly bought was Just Cause thonk

cedar spade
#

Probably didn't want to kill the launch hype and end up in a mess with Sony?

merry talon
#

just cause 2 was awesome

stiff yarrow
#

NMS had incredible sales figures because of the lies he told

merry talon
#

and then they just started milking it

quasi valley
#

3 was also awesome imo, but 4 is just... bad

cedar spade
#

JC4 was such a disappointment

phishing monkaS

it did a really great job to infuriate me

#

Wrong link

#

That just takes you to see your reviews on a game

quasi valley
#

ah

limber knotBOT
#

After the disappointment of Spore everyone should have expected NMS to flop

#

Even today it's not an especially fun game to play and it has most or all of the things they said it would plus more

acoustic pilot
#

I was pretty hyped, and wanted to buy it, but the price was a bit steep

#

Glad I didn't

merry talon
#

I thought people liked spore?

limber knotBOT
#

Then again if you find wandering around in Minecraft fun NMS might be right up your alley, that's pretty much all you do :P

merry talon
#

seemed cool when I played it like 8 years ago

limber knotBOT
#

Spore was a neat idea but the game itself was really shallow and kind of boring

merry talon
#

unless they released a second one or something

limber knotBOT
#

And then the space era was just tedious

#

The right way to play the space era ended up being ignoring planets you own that are calling for help and just trying to spread your influence faster than others can take it from you

#

Otherwise you keep slowing going back and forth across the galaxy reclaiming planets that you don't really care about anymore

#

s/slowing/slowly/

#

Correction, <Amaranth> Otherwise you keep slowly going back and forth across the galaxy reclaiming planets that you don't really care about anymore

#

They did release a second one, of sorts: Darkspore

cedar spade
#

"let's take Just Cause 3, make the water worse, add CoOl WeAtHeR pHySiCs, remove the interesting gameplay/progression elements BOOM SEQUEL"

#

Darkspore being the one that's infamously unplayable now?

quasi valley
#

I stopped at 5/6 hours as I have literally no idea what my mission currently is thinking_fish

merry talon
#

unplayable because they took the servers down?

limber knotBOT
#

Spore was taking too long so EA brought in a second team to help polish up what they had so it could be shipped, that second team fell in love with the tech but decided the gameplay should be very different so the game ended up taking even longer to release as the two teams fought about it and the game ended up being a sort of hybrid of their ideas

#

Then that second team went and made Darkspore

#

Yeah, EA shut down the DRM servers in 2016

#

So you have to crack it to play

cedar spade
#

Still curious as to what will happen to half of the major releases over the past 5 years when Denuvo dies

merry talon
#

isn't denuvo cracked?

#

even though games released recently don't have the replay value for other reasons anyway

tropic flame
#

yeah some people managed to actually crack denuvo

#

others just redirect the game to fake local servers that say yes to every single check

merry talon
#

ah

#

DRM doesn't work, people

tropic flame
#

I remember Sonic Mania was postponed like 2 weeks literally just to add Denuvo... and then CPY cracked it

acoustic pilot
#

EA and UbiSoft are the worst game companies ever. Not their games, but their business models.

merry talon
#

a lot of the games are pretty bad too lol

tropic flame
#

ubisoft's games are okay

merry talon
#

I think Rockstar is on a whole different level than EA though

tropic flame
#

can't say the same for EA tho

merry talon
#

fuck rockstar

acoustic pilot
#

They both are obsessed with DRM, too.

limber knotBOT
#

EA, Ubisoft, Activation/Blizzard, 2K, they're all shit

#

(rockstar is 2K)

merry talon
#

I absolutely love blizzard for their story telling

#

but not for the decisions they make

tropic flame
#

what's wrong with rockstar though

limber knotBOT
#

Their story telling has gone to shit, their gameplay has gone to shit, and their business practices have gone to shit

cedar spade
#

Rockstar and 2K are subsidiaries of Take-Two

limber knotBOT
#

Ah, that's the name I wanted then

merry talon
#

Overwatch is a story I'm still invested in

pulsar wigeon
#

yes, overwatch has great plot

#

lul

tropic flame
#

Rockstar makes singleplayer open world games with a story (yes I'm completely looking down on GTA Online)

limber knotBOT
#

Blizzard is just trash now

merry talon
#

rockstar tried to kill GTA 5 modding

#

so people would play online and give them money

#

and then they provide no support for online players

#

which people need, because online is so shit

tropic flame
#

uuuh yeah some mods were like, literally getting GTA IV's assets so they could get GTA IV's map in V

#

and redistributing them basically
