I guess the lightings fine

Idk what I saw wrong with it

[copper marsh]

You did a really good job at implementing aspects, but there are primal features and methodology you're missing:

1. Flat walls are boring walls, you have created a very cubic room, it's simple but doesn't have much appeal do to the essential shape being rather basic, if you looked at our approach, we introduce aspects to break the surface continuity and add depth such as pillars, higher wall extrusions, or just pulling the ceiling up and playing with its depth at different levels.
2. Don't be ambitious about spacing, notice how you left the chair rows sort of isolated in the center, surrounded by very empty space, you can't fill it with more chairs as that'd look too extreme for a waiting room or simply because players don't fit, and so it's important to accomodate the room for a correct space between elements. Players need room to navigate but too much makes them distant from the immersion.
3. Dead ends don't have replayability, I know this is a test and didn't have such a large scope, but I think it's important to note that rooms with only one access are seen once and left off. Players rarely go to a specific room to simply contemplate it, they use it either for gameplay or for moving to another room; and I think that's a factor you need to add in to your interpretations: imagining how it'd be used, where would an exit be, and implementing it, playing around to see how it fits with the rest of the puzzle.

Now, the important part is factoring these aspects, blending them for maximum benefits; so for this specific room I'd suggest you add perhaps pillars between the couches, raise a central portion of the ceiling to who knows, maybe experiment with a big skylight, and if we're raising the roof only over there let's enhance that contrast and lowe the floor maybe one or two steps, that'll help with the spacing issue; and perhaps take one of the plain wall segments, indent it and implement a doorway, to get a sense of how it'd work out on cases like that.

That's basically my thought process for improving things like that, if it helps you

[stoic tapir]

holy shit

[copper marsh]

Creating environments isn't just properly implementing a style and implementing its features, it's playing with visuals, juggling opposite aspects and balancing detail

The very essence of what a room is can be much more important than people think, it's why it's difficult to see simple designs like cubic rooms in videogames, it's something basic that doesn't help convey a message

[naive elm]

i love layouts

[crystal grail]

that looks like something that would be on topside tartarus

where the terminals used to be

[stoic tapir]

This area?

[crystal grail]

yeah

[halcyon oak]

Logo shakes when expanding because studio resolution

[naive elm]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[copper marsh]

now that's definitely way better, I got no complaints 👍

[stoic tapir]

color correction helped

I noticed some of the colors "pop"

[shut sand]

liking it

[naive elm]

thank you for responding (i was dying inside)
i can complete it if i had the characters

I probably should’ve used my own transitions than what iMovie has

[covert stag]

you need a smoothcam thing

[thorn prism]

Im on bedrock sooo

[covert stag]

bruh

[thorn prism]

Hence roughcam

Anyway, heres the first version of it

[errant pond]

oooo what engine is that actually

is that source?

[amber grail]

Yeah

Your seeing the map through Hammer

I'll send images of it when I compile it (and get this tanktrain to work)

[errant pond]

[humble cedar]

isn't that the ending area for infra?

or are you just using infra assets

[amber grail]

I'm using Infra assets

The ending of Infra is a nuclear power plant

[brazen crag]

yoo looks cool

i would want to use that design in my game frfr

[amber grail]

Oh

[stoic tapir]

It was a qserf update asthetics and lighting test

I was just recreating what I saw in the public test

#1101502942101655573
so

someone brought up my old reactor

and I mentioned the chamber was huge

[copper marsh]

JESUS THAT'S HUGE

[stoic tapir]

Im not sure If I can post the link but I made it public, on my roblox profile

[brazen crag]

thats huge af

[naive elm]

new shirt

(too lazy for boots so i copied and pasted off the internet 👍)

[stoic tapir]

never figured out clothes, wish I could

They look great!

[naive elm]

thanks!

i really needed an outfit for the canonical enemy of my group

i've been trying out various outfits the past 2 weeks or so for reference

I decided that the clothes should just be the base layer, and armour and such could just be accessories

so it wasn't that complicated

just had to get the dark camo

to make it, I literally just drew up a looping camo pattern, used that everywhere, and used a fabric texture from the internet

[stoic tapir]

Im not sure that this classifies as a creation but they are my characters so

Im all about character development and looks

[modern maple]

yeah that works

ive posted TWC characters here

[stoic tapir]

It shows the story of the characters just based on how they're dressed

[errant pond]

Artemis is always cold it seems

wrapped in warming clothing

and Harold always loved ties

[stoic tapir]

Harold is a charismatic business man who puts people first and wants to make the world a better place.
Artemis is a stiff genius who puts learning first over people and wants to understand the meaning of reality and its workings

(Ik Artemis is sounding like a jackass but he's really not, he does it to protect his family and friends)

[amber grail]

Cutscene that I made for my Source map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVjNZKfotd0&ab_channel=Suntin

[jagged grotto]

im trying to make a command system where each command including rank check is handled in a seperate script

how can i make it so the second script knows what player chatted and get it's rank using CommandUser?

[naive elm]

(if you want a simpler system there's a widely used module called Cmdr that does what you're doing)
anyway, you can use game:GetService("Players")[CommandUser.Value]

that'll return the player object

you can get its rank using Player:GetRankInGroup(1234567) with the proper group ID

[jagged grotto]

Am I able to use it across two scripts?

OH

I SEE

Thanks

[stoic tapir]

Just to note none of this is official

[stoic tapir]

I took an image of the cavern as well as a logo from LAYS
And did this aswell

[naive elm]

Something like that

[brazen crag]

oh k

[ebon bear]

Not some silly ass copy game

[crystal grail]

Most complicated thing i had ever make

and uh

why the quality so low

[naive elm]

wasn't there a studio option that showed what face is the front on a part?

[brazen crag]

if i union something on roblox studio is there gonna be an hole in the blender model

[covert stag]

thou shalt use this os

[naive elm]

inside joke moment

[brazen crag]

also does anyone know if this would work

lift system

[stoic tapir]

Wdym? I don't think you can union meshes

[brazen crag]

no no u got it wrong

if i union an part

and make a Hole inside the part

will the Hole be there

in blendet

[stoic tapir]

maybbeeeeee

Im not sure

[stoic tapir]

this used to be 6000 triangles
got it down to 600

[ebon bear]

OH NO

[modern maple]

not easy

probably just about the hardest thing to do

all i can say really is practice

i have a lot of trouble with lighting myself, its very finicky to get right

[stoic tapir]

Basically what zulk said

Practice

Try experimenting

[modern maple]

mmm

those lighting effects that you can add you should generally go pretty light on

blur, color correction, bloom

dont use too much of it

only vary it away from stock ever so slightly

[stoic tapir]

Never use blur

Recently I found that if you use a color correction and turn up the saturation a tiny bit (I think) it makes the colors pop a little more instead of it looking dull

Not sure if it was the saturation tho

[tawny flare]

so apparently

i and my friend decided to make the uscss torrens

the nozzle

does anybody have a good reference of the thing

[tawny flare]

epic

[stoic tapir]

No freaking way

I have the artbook from the game

I could send some photos but it probably won't do much better than what you have

[naive elm]

whats that

@stoic tapir engien

[naive elm]

I am not sure what this is supposed to be

[neat thicket]

Power laser

[naive elm]

it's a good start. I think it'd look much better by adding more depth and extrusions to it

so instead of just one cylinder, you can have multiple of different sizes

[tawny flare]

scroll down in properties, tick UsePartColor

also

[naive elm]

nice

tbh I make complex stuff on blender now

[neat thicket]

I don’t even know how to blender

[naive elm]

really, you just need to know how to navigate it and what tools it has

then you'll get pretty decent models out of it

[neat thicket]

Nah man I got multiple seizures trying to understand it

[naive elm]

have you done the donut tutorial

[neat thicket]

(For legal reasons this is a joke)

[neat thicket]

No

[naive elm]

try it out

[neat thicket]

Later

[naive elm]

it's like the #1 blender tutorial

teaches you how to navigate and the basic tools

of course there's more to it, but it's a good start

[neat thicket]

Idk if I can use blender if this is what comes out in studio

[naive elm]

you may actually be really good at modelling, you just don't have the design knack yet

[neat thicket]

I want to code lol

[naive elm]

Roblox docs/guides are good for that

[neat thicket]

The problem is that I don’t remember most coding wordings

Like this

Function()

Print()

[tawny flare]

blender is ahrd

so this is the actual size

[glossy sundial]

Andrew has the best tutorials

anyway, here is something I made in blender:

[naive elm]

nice

I only use blender to make models

[glossy sundial]

the black was an accident

I accidentally duplicated the scene in a way that it made it look wierd

but then I figured the black was kinda cool

[glossy sundial]

I use blender to make all sorts of crazy stuff

that thing is actually a wallpaper

[naive elm]

figured

sell it on iStock for 4k

[glossy sundial]

that is actually a good idea

but no

[modern maple]

yeah thats nice

[glossy sundial]

yes

nice

[naive elm]

will replace with custom sounds eventually

[modern maple]

cool angle i got of walking cloud spawn island

[stoic tapir]

that angle almost suggest that theres something in the clouds we cannot see

just a thought

[brazen crag]

thats very cool

[modern maple]

eh i mean there kinda is

the starting island specifically is in a pocket dimension as far as lore is concerned, everywhere else (except for the dream sequence) is in a unified existance

but of course everything is in the same workspace, but this is just an engine limitation

[stoic tapir]

I always wonder

Are wooden doors, like that, just solid wood?

All the way through

Or is there some sort of inner metal structure/frame

[sacred steppe]

pretty sure it's just solid wood

[naive elm]

there's 3 main types of wooden doors-

1. hollow, typically used inside residential buildings
2. filled wood, typically used for exterior residential or any commercial door
3. laminated metal doors, used anywhere commercially

[stoic tapir]

[modern maple]

blue

really theyre all good, and can have their own merits

id say to use whichever one the rest of the facility uses

orange if its more retro, blue if its more gloomy, green if its more murky

like alien would use blue, metal gear would use green, portal would use orange

if that makes sense

[stoic tapir]

yeah

I like both blues

The top one feels more artificial

While the lower one feels almost like moonlight

thats a good mix

anyone here could do better than that

[naive elm]

A11Y & UX hobbyist incoming

• avoid italic or oblique typefaces for normal text at all costs, they make text harder to read
• some areas could have better contrast (esp. faded text, some of it is hard to read)
• space to skip seems to easy to do, the current system to skip is much better

for future reference

[worthy edge]

is a skipping mechanic supposed to be hard???

wtf

[naive elm]

yes

[worthy edge]

it would be the exact same thing

[naive elm]

skipping should be more of a "only if you want to" rather than "you can accidentally skip"

also by better contrast:

[worthy edge]

press space
are you sure you want to skip?
press space or button

[naive elm]

press space and click a button would be better

or tab and space

(no should be the default focus)

[naive elm]

this fails everything

[naive elm]

it was an example

my first thought was Dead Island 2 which has those status effects

it's to showcase the script you nerd

[half spindle]

but.. i dont know how to reaad..... 😭

[naive elm]

it's an easy way to do bitwise

[half spindle]

ohhhh

you mean bitfields

[naive elm]

ye

[half spindle]

it probably would be better to use booleans

but thats a pretty design otherwise

[naive elm]

wait how would booleans replace that

oh wait im brain

but yes

[half spindle]

booleans are individual bits and can just be checked using basic indexing/conditions

[naive elm]

ah yes

[half spindle]

but its a pretty setup nonetheless

[naive elm]

[gilded cedar]

i dont get the arguments for this function. i've seen it before, but like what is the (func : (any)) and the : RBXScriptConnection at the end do?

[naive elm]

those are type definitions. a variable is usually: ```lua
local variable: type = value;

-- so that means:
local x: number = 5; -- x can only be a number

x = "test" -- this throws an error

any is special and means it can be absolutely anything

so func can be 1, it can be 'string', or it can be function()

when you have a function: ```lua
function example(): number -- this means the function RETURNS a number
-- this would be correct
return 5;

-- this would error
return 'not a number';
end

-- this variable would implicitly be a number
local x = example(); -- same thing local x: number = example();

[gilded cedar]

so, same for the arguments? is (any) like any type?

[naive elm]

yes

[gilded cedar]

i've something like

type = "e" | "e" -- and so on
``` what is that?

[naive elm]

it is redundant to have the exact same thing, but it's a type union

it's like an or

[gilded cedar]

oh okay

[naive elm]

so type Example = string | number means that anything with the type of Example can either be a string or a number

when you use a string or a number directly in that, i.e. 'a' | 'b', it means that only 'a' or 'b' can be used (not other strings)

roblox calls them singleton types

[gilded cedar]

so like you can restrict function arguments to certain things
thats nice

[naive elm]

yes

it gets even nicer, watch this

let's say you want to return a specific table when you do getTable('example1')

but you want something else if you do getTable('test2')

you can actually do this

type Example1 = {
  a: number;
  b: string;
};

type Test2 = {
  c: boolean;
  d: Example1;

type GetTableExample = ((var: 'example1') -> Example1) & ((var: 'test2') -> Test2)

that returns the type Example is you pass in 'example1', and vice versa

Hello everyone, I know that I've been really inactive on this server, due to school and other reasons which made me really busy these days 💀 , but today I will share you the new Reactor Chamber of my game, Feedback is appreciated here!

that is great use of fog to create lighting

good job!

I think you could ease the red a little bit

no need for a bloodmoon red ambiance

although it does make it look good

does anyone know a good way to do a muzzle flash? (skip to the second half of the video for the effects)

[gilded cedar]

what are you doing right now?

what i've seen many gun systems do, is attach a particle emitter to the barrel, and change the transparency very quickly. you can also try doing that with a pointlight to give that extra detail

using ParticleEmitter:Emit() is too slow

[naive elm]

yeah it's a particle emitter, but it's locked to one axis

lemme grab the image

[gilded cedar]

how does your current muzzle flash work

[naive elm]

the flash is just done with :Emit(1), and locked on its axis. transparency and size are both sequences

[gilded cedar]

dont use emit. its pretty slow, just set the transparency to 1 and then 0 quickly

[naive elm]

what about the issue I have with uh

[gilded cedar]

(you might have to change the particle emitter to get it looking like a billboard gui)

[naive elm]

it is already

[gilded cedar]

k

[gilded cedar]

so what issue

[naive elm]

if you see the video, the flash is like 4 pixels wide

[naive elm]

but this shape also won't look good from that direction

[gilded cedar]

well thats the thing with particle emitters

one sec

use something like what i highlighted

[naive elm]

alright

thanks

[gilded cedar]

it'll fix that issue

(also for the black background, i think you can set the LightEmission to 1, it'll brighten the flash but it removes the black)

[weary pelican]

BIG container

with the logo on the side idk

[stoic tapir]

[stoic tapir]

The purpose of doing meshes is to get high quality props, while also being low poly, and having to copy and paste them everywhere

I can do it in blender

But if it was gonna just be in one or two places then I'd just use parts

I still like those though so I'll consider

Also they're called Gantrys

[gilded cedar]

youre right i didnt notice

also dw about turning off ping on replies for me, i dont care about it and it actually helps me find messages lol

you should think about reposting that blender tutorial if you have it saved, i kinda needed it lol

[crystal grail]

the Orginal one is useless btw

[naive elm]

(wrong channel but anyway)
it's probably not implemented yet, but you're supposed to get it when you die inside the dmr while it's starting

Isn't implemented yet - it's for the upcoming update

Should i use tweens on a player if i want to move them, or is there another way

[naive elm]

depends on how you want to move them

is it for an elevator?

[waxen musk]

I want to move the player away from a part that is dealing damage when the player is touching it

So its not dealing damage to the player

It probably doesnt make sense

Heres an example actually

If the gif actually works

[stoic tapir]

Tip: use trello to organize your game
Seriously.
Even if it's just props or scripts, it makes life so much easier.

So you can just focus on one group of stuff at a time, gets less overwhelming

[naive elm]

only use tweens if you're with the player not being able to move themself

[worthy edge]

AGHGHG I LOVE HES SO CUTE

[fleet zealot]

why're you copying starship 😔

[brazen crag]

does anyone know how fix when ur animating an tool but it doesnt fully become ur animation

[naive elm]

can you elaborate?

[brazen crag]

so the dummy with black hair (the anim dummy) has the anim i made

tho my avatar (the left one)

looks a bit broken

not like the anim i made

[naive elm]

could be a mismatch of names

if joints or parts have different names it could screw up the animation editor

it looks like the elbow joint animations are getting dropped

[brazen crag]

?

it happens with like almost all of my anims

[brazen crag]

is there an fix?

[naive elm]

do you make both avatars the same way

[brazen crag]

wdym?

[naive elm]

these two avatars, did you import them the same way or what

[brazen crag]

i imported the animation as idle to the toolbox then copied the animation link to the holding anim

[naive elm]

i meant the avatars

[brazen crag]

i dont get it im sorry

im new to the animation stuff-

[naive elm]

how did you get this model

and how did you get this model

[brazen crag]

thats an dummy?

in the animation editing

thing

oh

[naive elm]

what about the other one

[brazen crag]

its an tool

[naive elm]

again, the avatar

is it also a dummy?

[brazen crag]

the black avatar is me testing

[naive elm]

oh I see

[brazen crag]

yea

so is there an way to fix?

[naive elm]

ah i misread

okay ignore everything i said

how exactly is it broken

what's wrong?

[brazen crag]

so

the animation doesnt look like how i animated it

[naive elm]

is the issue that your arms and legs are slightly bent?

[brazen crag]

not the legs the arms

wait let me publish the thing so u can test it for urself

[naive elm]

👍

i think i know the issue, i just need to check it

okay @brazen crag

[brazen crag]

?

[naive elm]

sorry it took a while, i'm just confused

[brazen crag]

yea my english is lowkey bad sorry

[naive elm]

the issue most likely is that you're not overriding everything

[brazen crag]

?

[naive elm]

pulling up an example

so let's say you make an animation that does this

the only thing you're changing is the shoulder

meaning that everything else can be affected by other animations

the simple way to fix that is uh

this plus button

use it to add any parts that are not working

[brazen crag]

alr ty

[naive elm]

that'll stop it from being overriden by other animations

👍

[brazen crag]

ima test it then reply

ty for ur help

[naive elm]

alright

👍

[gilded cedar]

dude
im recreating it

not copying

[brazen crag]

didnt work

[fleet zealot]

should at least ask for permission

[gilded cedar]

im pretty sure its fine, as i already posted it in starfall without punishment. others are recreating it, and im not going to publish it.

[brazen crag]

fixed it!!

[naive elm]

hi sorry busy with dinner

[naive elm]

what was the issue

[brazen crag]

nvm

i forgot it anyway

OH

the plus thing didnt solve it

[naive elm]

yeah you said

It was originally but I screwed up the top part and had to redo it, and it was getting late so I decided to finish it later

Thanks tho

yeah that part is abit hard for me too

[minor stream]

What UI lib is this again?

[naive elm]

it's a mock-up I made in figma

uses mantine colours though

if I were to make it in the web, I'd use https://radix-ui.com/ as per usual

[copper marsh]

daaamn that looks SO GOOD

[stoic tapir]

a lot better than this\

[crystal grail]

they look the same?

or am I missing something

[stoic tapir]

They are close to the same

The floppy disk slots are different
Monitor is more accurate

And the screen is properly tilted

Hi, this is a PSA

Don't do what this guy did

Make your own logos

I understand taking inspiration from QS, and related franchises, but I can't help but feel like logos like that have so much more potential

and also don't be petty and block me when i give you negative feedback, and join qsp on an alt so i can't find your roblox account

[crystal grail]

blud even added the atom

💀

[shut sand]

im just so annoyed i literally cannot find a mutual server so i can't find him and dm him

he did a good job hiding his main

you know what i just realised

that logo is stolen anyway

it's got a watermark

[crystal grail]

LMFAO

[modern maple]

kek

funnily enough the zulkon corp logo started as a minecraft banner

this banner to be precise

turned to this over time

[shut sand]

THAT'S A GOOD LOGO

[crystal grail]

true

[shut sand]

YOU DONT NEED TO USE THE ATOM LOGO

[modern maple]

the gear logo has always worked great

[crystal grail]

mine its literally the most uninspired shit ever

keep in mind its like

1 year old

[modern maple]

and even still

if you need to specify

you can remove the central halo and add whatever other symbol in the middle

[shut sand]

grrrr im just so annoyed that person is so petty

[sacred steppe]

You don't need to use an atom to show it's a sci Fi group 😱

[modern maple]

aerospace specific version?

check

[crystal grail]

I feel ya

[shut sand]

YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO CALL IT A CORPORATION

JUST CALL IT A GAME DEV STUDIO OR WHATEVER

[modern maple]

you could lol

i guess corporation just sounds cool

[shut sand]

it's so overused

[crystal grail]

this is the definition of simple but effective

[modern maple]

i remember trump saying he picked "trump organization" back when the entire organization was just him because he thought it sounded cool

[crystal grail]

just a weird square

[modern maple]

and like bro "organization" does sound cool

why aint there more organization roblox groups?

[coral harbor]

Because lego game groups are anything BUT organized

[shut sand]

do you know what one of my past scifi groups was called?

ISRAPH
Institute for the Scientific Research of Abnormal Phenomena

[modern maple]

"Quantum Organization" sounds just fine

[crystal grail]

@shut sand what about this bad boy

[shut sand]

how much cooler does that sound

[crystal grail]

very

[shut sand]

looks fine

im no logo expert

[modern maple]

i came up with this thing for ZCC a while back

basically the zulkon equivalent of qOS (that i never ended up doing real work on)

and i named it Operation Data Interface Network

[crystal grail]

greek gods

[modern maple]

or O.D.I.N.

[crystal grail]

👍

[modern maple]

how badass is that?

swag name if you ask me

[crystal grail]

ok why did inkscape decide to jumpscare me

[stoic tapir]

I still haven't figured out a logo

[covert stag]

star logo best logo

[stoic tapir]

Hell I'm not even sure if I like the name

[crystal grail]

polaris it's very badass

[stoic tapir]

That don't mean its """free yet""" though as I haven't found an alternative

[brazen crag]

my logo has that gearbox thing too lmfao

i

[modern maple]

a lot more teeth

the ZC logo has 12 teeth

[brazen crag]

eh i paid an random dude to make it

like in 2022

[modern maple]

i made the zc logo myself

[brazen crag]

epic

[modern maple]

in like 2020 or 2021

[brazen crag]

if i had the skill to make good logos

[modern maple]

i made this simple graphic recently

just as like amiah's crown

[brazen crag]

ngl maybe u can use it for that game idk tho

[modern maple]

maybe? but TWC isnt a core game

Amiah's crown would make a great UGC item i think

[crystal grail]

just redid mine for boredom

before

after

it's more aligned now

[brazen crag]

i ment if there was an kingdom or something like that

[crystal grail]

and redoing the thing outlining the cube thingos made it look cleaner

[brazen crag]

u could use it on a flag

[crystal grail]

afaik TWC isn't canon to ZCC

[modern maple]

no

TWC isnt really a "zulkon" game

made by me, but not related to zulkon corp

in a similar way to how MM wouldve been

but i havent touched MM in a long time

Military Might if i ever do continue work on it will probably get a major restructuring

to make the game as functionally simple as possible with basic graphics like neighborhood war

so its mostly just the scripting

[crystal grail]

@cursive mulch stepped up my game btw no more using powerpoint for graphics

(I use inkscape now)

[cursive mulch]

Uh oh...

[shut sand]

ok well yours is literally called "nuclear engineering"

[cursive mulch]

Let's goooo

[cursive mulch]

true true

In my defense I spent good money to get a logo made that was somewhat unique

because I am NOT a logo artist

[stoic tapir]

You have no idea at how annoyed I get all the time when I see games with free models or just straight up carbon copy other things with a copied name and logo stamped everywhere

I admit I did it too

I got over it though

[crystal grail]

the WCKD research facility in question:

[stoic tapir]

I gave them advice though

If they're willing to accept it

[crystal grail]

true

[stoic tapir]

Other times they throw a temper tantrum and act defensive

[brazen crag]

the one that an person made in this server?

[stoic tapir]

They deleted it because of the free models I believe
One guy was harping on him about it

any flag nerds by any chance, i genuinely need feedback

every other 'napoleonic realistic roleplay' server i go to for feedback they just reply with shit

so i would appreciate some kind of feedback

danke

[fading spire]

Whar

[dawn bay]

need elaboration?

[modern maple]

hmm

the graphics are very good, but the text feels sorta slapped on

maybe the text outline is too thick?

it just feels sorta font-y and not like calligraphy

[dawn bay]

i mean yeah most napoleonic flags do that

search up french imperial army flag on google

[modern maple]

wow you werent kidding

still feels like maybe you could use a different font

or generally put more attention into the lettering

[dawn bay]

yeah

i'll what i can do

because i am trying to fit the theme without completely making it incomprehensible

(unlike the frnch)

generally the british did it best

like herw
