[dense dawn]

why

[crystal grail]

rotat

[dense dawn]

Why wont the tilted part align with rotation change circles?

I searched every single configuration in roblox studio settings

[sharp apex]

i'm assuming that's like
roblox's transform tool??
or the built-in animation tool

[dense dawn]

animation tool and transform tool

[lament marsh]

🔄

[dense dawn]

I still flocking wonder how to align the Move tool to a part

the part is rotated at 45 degrees and the arrows... 0 degrees

[lament marsh]

set primary part i think

or edit pivot

[dense dawn]

you sure?

[ebon bear]

use f3x instead

:bigbrain:

[dense dawn]

you have a big brain belonged to idiotic islands....

[ebon bear]

atleast i have 4 years experience in roblox studio...

[dense dawn]

thats cool but you didnt learnt the impossible

[ebon bear]

i dont understand why the pivot of any rig is under

instead of middle

[lament marsh]

ladies relax

[sharp apex]

wait
i use F3X too instead of built-in tools but

maybe Ctrl + L

?

[covert stag]

press ctrl L

[sharp apex]

yeah iirc it switches to Local

[lament marsh]

oh that

[covert stag]

yeah

[ebon bear]

that grobal lmao

[dense dawn]

LET FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[lament marsh]

i really wasnt looking at the image

i thought he meant he wanted it in the middle

[dense dawn]

thank you fellas

[brazen crag]

press ctrl+L

[dense dawn]

already resolved

[brazen crag]

nice

[crystal grail]

im mentally dying and have insane thoughts of touching grass

[frozen stream]

do you work for ssrp or something

[gilded cedar]

no, im just making a fangame based on another ship (not community shipyards)

[cobalt bridge]

blud how did u manage to do this without editing pivot

[frozen stream]

this is the bravo thing ive ever made @true falcon

hazmat suit resparator so far

[frozen stream]

that looks like its just gonna fall off

[hoary orchid]

yea it doesent have the rest of the suit yet

[neon obsidian]

looks great as a start but the mouthpiece looks a bit goofy imo
maybe lower it a bit if possible?

[hoary orchid]

yea mabye

[frozen stream]

why does this make you spawn on te roof

[neon obsidian]

consider how tall the area is?

if theres a block above a short distance from where the player spawn, it would spawn em upward iirc

[frozen stream]

it shouldnt

[neon obsidian]

ah interesting

thats really odd then

[jagged grotto]

Gonna put some of my stuff here instead of in my threads just cause I feel like it

[fading spire]

car go 👍

[ebon bear]

@fading spire Do you want the missile have texture or no texture

[fading spire]

no texture

it would be kinda better

[ebon bear]

okay

[humble cedar]

redid the shoulders and legs on my military grade mecha

[humble cedar]

that tower stand thingy looks good

missile seems kinda low detail though, maybe you could add some pipes on the side like on the SLS

[humble cedar]

the thruster sets on the average goliath frame allow the machine to move side to side, however due to sharing a fuel reserve with the main generator each rocket dodge will use up some of its operational time, although nuclear models did exist, it was generally only when hyperdecomposition reactors were used that mass production models with near unlimited dodging and runtime existed

the thrusters in legs did not allow for sustained flight (on earth, on the moon its a bit different), however they could move the machine off the ground shortly to prevent tire damage while dodging

[sterile rivet]

place it under the floor

[ebon bear]

it was mean to be simply

but yeah thanks

also i want to do missile engine effect but i dont know how to

Hmm

@ebon bear that game logo remind me of EPSILON logo thing we made

[cobalt bridge]

he's a great developer

i respect him a lot

[quaint peak]

Can anyone help me with some scripting work? I'm not a good scripter, so please DM me if you have (somewhat advanced) knowledge for information, I'd really appreciate it.

[neon obsidian]

they don't call blast door for no reason

sorry i have to say it lmfao

[sterile rivet]

no worries lmao

[ebon bear]

that why there's a risk of explosion sign here

maybe there's chance the door will fucking explode

[cobalt bridge]

awesome

[cobalt bridge]

yohelp me out with something here

[sterile rivet]

hm?

[cobalt bridge]

im tryna make this butw idk how

[sterile rivet]

A good place to start is breaking it down to its basic form

Then slowly build on detail

[cobalt bridge]

the only dilema i have is

that i cant see the whole thing

[sterile rivet]

That's the annoying thing about reference images

all you can really do is work with what you see

[cobalt bridge]

it's called a stop valve but i cant find good images

oh wait

[rich kettle]

That looks like it can run well

[mild forum]

Haven't worked on Studio for a good 2/3 years, is there a wireframe view now?

[stoic tapir]

Yes

There has been

For like

Idek how long

[mild forum]

Holy

How do you activate it by any chance

I'm so behind on these stuff I have to get up to date

[humble cedar]

under the view section theres a wireframe rendering button

[mild forum]

Oh wow thank you

Also another quick question. Do you know if you can scale or move something using a numerical value?

[humble cedar]

probably but im not terribly sure

by something do you mean parts or models?

[mild forum]

Yup

For example in Rhino or AutoCAD I can use the move command and either move it using the gumball or type in a numerical value like 6" or 6'

Scale works the same way

I can scale an object using a numerical value in one dimension or all if I want

[humble cedar]

id assume editing the position and scale values would do what you want it to

i dont think you can scale models in a single direction unfortunately

[mild forum]

Ah I see

While moving is possible? Or possible when you know exact coordinates where you want it on the baseplate?

[covert stag]

there should be a little label of how much you moved it by when you try moving an object

[mild forum]

I agree

Roblox has to get on this

I want to be able to move or scale my things on numerical values

Let's say 3 studs for example

Allows me to get more specific and be more exact

[covert stag]

I mean there is a way lmao

Try dragging something and then click the little number that pops up

[mild forum]

Which number? Wdym?

[covert stag]

When you move something on an axis there should be a label with the distance you dragged

[mild forum]

I'll check that out tmm

Never knew that

Is it under properties?

[covert stag]

It should be just in the viewport

You might need a beta feature enabled I’m not sure

[hoary orchid]

It is a beta feature

p funny tho

[rich kettle]

wip

[jagged grotto]

Woah

[jagged grotto]

how do I rotate this face to be exactly in line with the blue axis line

like what I wanna do is be able to punch in 0 degrees

but you can't do that in modelling

(I've ran into this problem 1000000 times so I thought I'd finally ask)

and I don't wanna eyeball it, I want it to be exact

[ebon bear]

what are you making

pipes?

[jagged grotto]

handrail

[unreal sedge]

damn bro nice handrail

its cute

[ebon bear]

so it something like this?

[jagged grotto]

yeah

[ebon bear]

and you want make the thing straight

[jagged grotto]

ye

[ebon bear]

to fix that uh i pressed y

to make it become straight

[jagged grotto]

doesn't do anything

oh wait hold on

[ebon bear]

you have to make a new one

[jagged grotto]

whar why

and how did you make a curve that nice

did you like use a plugin or something

[ebon bear]

blender spin tool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klyAQYBNH6E&ab_channel=LaneWallace

[jagged grotto]

oh that might be YES

THAT'S THE KINDA THING I'VE BEEN NEEDING

thank you

[ebon bear]

np

[jagged grotto]

Just finished my new Handrail! I think I did a really good job! It's highly detailed and is so smooth! /j

Here's what the ACTUAL handrail looks like lmfao

[hoary orchid]

You fucking scared me

[jagged grotto]

I said /j lmao

[hoary orchid]

Didn't read thst

[sterile rivet]

you can also press s (scale), then the key corresponding whatever axis it was pointing towards (i assume x or y) and then press 0 so it flattens it

[ebon bear]

Alot of pipes

Okay this look better with ambient 0, 0, 0

[rich kettle]

Transition effect (Shockwave for third phase, time to time explosions, and confinement field breakage

[sterile rivet]

That looks pretty damn sweet

[ebon bear]

thanks!

[frozen stream]

damn that's cool

i could probably do something like that if i wasn't so lazy

but tstill 👍

[ebon bear]

box (ignore the Placeholder cube)

[sterile rivet]

make the placeholder permanent

[ebon bear]

9okay

[sterile rivet]

the permanent artefact of development

[ebon bear]

Gonna plan to make the control room later after finish all the area

It gonna be look like this abit

(yes yes we gonna script it)

https://tenor.com/view/wow-oh-oh-snap-shocked-amazed-gif-5534481

i shouldn't give the cut amounts is 50

[fading spire]

LMAO

[naive elm]

could be reduced further

[crystal grail]

can yo send me the bell logo

[crystal grail]

I NEED to add that to my laptop

[crystal grail]

thanks

[naive elm]

👍

[jagged grotto]

not without looking weird

I already decimated once

[naive elm]

not decimate

do you know about parameters?

[jagged grotto]

huh

[naive elm]

whenever you do something, i.e. add a cylinder

most times it brings up a parameters box here

click it

[jagged grotto]

hm didn't know you could click on that

[naive elm]

vertices is normally like 32

[jagged grotto]

okay I see

thanks

[naive elm]

i set it to 7 in my example

[jagged grotto]

I'd set it to 10 I think

7 is a bit too visible for me

[naive elm]

you'd be surprised how much you can get away with

i've used 3 and it still looked decent once

literally a triangular prism

[ebon bear]

I always use like 16 or 18

32 is meh

[naive elm]

[ebon bear]

3 is fucking a triangle

[jagged grotto]

yeah

[naive elm]

you say that now

then you use it

iirc a dev used the same thing before lemme see if i can pull it up

[ebon bear]

Gonna use 10000 instead

[jagged grotto]

10s looking a bit low to me idk man

[ebon bear]

To see what happen

[ebon bear]

Auto smooth

[jagged grotto]

see 10 is too little

[ebon bear]

Use auto smooth

[jagged grotto]

I tried that

it just

[ebon bear]

It better than smooth

[naive elm]

configure it

[ebon bear]

You doesnt want to see these weird shadows

[jagged grotto]

Ik I usually use auto smooth

[naive elm]

so under the Data tab

[jagged grotto]

wdym you can configure that too?

[naive elm]

set normals auth smooth to something higher

[jagged grotto]

ok there

[naive elm]

it's usually 30*

[ebon bear]

How do i fix file dimensions inf inf inf 😂

[jagged grotto]

still too low for me, I'll probably do something like 14

[ebon bear]

Optimized

[jagged grotto]

there you see THIS looks good

10 is too low

[ebon bear]

Unlike this

[jagged grotto]

[sterile rivet]

i'd use 8 if you want them to be light and look somewhat normal

[naive elm]

tbh it depends on size

[jagged grotto]

also

[naive elm]

i set it to 7 specifically because handrails are like .2 studs^2

[jagged grotto]

is there any way to lock the spin tool onto the grid

[naive elm]

uhh im not sure

i hit N

[jagged grotto]

what does that do

[naive elm]

wait hold on

ok nvm

it's a parameter

[jagged grotto]

it brings up the transform menu

[jagged grotto]

THAT

[ebon bear]

Dont be like this

[jagged grotto]

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FO THAT

[jagged grotto]

what the fuck

[jagged grotto]

is this

[ebon bear]

I set it to 100000

[jagged grotto]

in modeling mode

[ebon bear]

Cone one

[naive elm]

edit mode

[jagged grotto]

how did you get that menu

nvm

[ebon bear]

Tab for edit mode

[naive elm]

activate the spin tool

[jagged grotto]

yeah I figured that out

thanks

[naive elm]

but yeah keep this in mind

generally the smaller it is, the less you can use

7 would look great at that scale

but if it's like 20 studs by 20 studs it's really noticeable

[jagged grotto]

oops lmao

[naive elm]

archimedes moment

[jagged grotto]

TRUE

[ebon bear]

Eh use only one side of it

Not all of it

[jagged grotto]

yeah I do

like this

[ebon bear]

Press ctrl

It would help alot

[jagged grotto]

I tried that it doesn't work with spin tool

[ebon bear]

While you spin it

[jagged grotto]

yeah

I did

[ebon bear]

Or shift i dont remember

[jagged grotto]

like I said

that doesn't work with the spin tool

[naive elm]

@jagged grotto

[jagged grotto]

yeah mine are bigger though

[naive elm]

how big

[ebon bear]

Weird

Like holding it

While spin it

[jagged grotto]

yeah

[jagged grotto]

ok not this big

[naive elm]

i see

[jagged grotto]

hold on

[ebon bear]

Scale it to bigger size

[naive elm]

send the size

[jagged grotto]

1.725, 0.365, 0.365

[naive elm]

id say 12-14 would be good then

[jagged grotto]

yeah I used 12

[naive elm]

good

[jagged grotto]

👍

wait

can you get an up close screenshot of here

[mild forum]

It's not Blender

[jagged grotto]

oh

[jagged grotto]

ok you should be fine

[mild forum]

It's a 2" diameter rail

Can you do curves in Blender and then transform them into physical objects?

It would be way easier

[jagged grotto]

wdym by transform them into physical objects? like make them 3d objects you can bring into roblox?

cause yes

[mild forum]

Like do line art and make them physical

[jagged grotto]

oh

uhh they have a curve tool

I'd look into that

[mild forum]

Join the second VC lemme show you what I mean

[stoic tapir]

Quick question. Does anyone know how to check the triangle count of something in studio?

[copper marsh]

I don't think there are ways to see the triangle count, but there is an option to see the wireframe

[mild forum]

Hm I see

So in order to see the triangle count of something I'd have to import it to Blender or any modelling software and see it there?

[sterile rivet]

it might be under properties, i will check for you in a second

[gilded pine]

zamn

[sterile rivet]

just checked, only unions seem to show triangle counts in the properties tab

[unreal sedge]

TRUE

[jagged grotto]

does anyone know how to make the move tool adopt the angle of the edge you have selected

[sterile rivet]

hold on i know what it is but i'm not on my computer

[jagged grotto]

I made this line with a series of duplicating moving and face creating

and I need to do the same at an angle

[jagged grotto]

alright thanks

[sterile rivet]

You may be better off using alt+e and the extrude along face normals for that

[jagged grotto]

well the issue is

that I need to do a series of moves first

or wait maybe I could do a loop cut instead

[river moss]

Loop cuts will suck more than extruding

[jagged grotto]

yeah that worked

[sterile rivet]

you could do a loop cut, bevel it and then extrude the bevel

[sterile rivet]

you can pick between these two but generally normal will work

[jagged grotto]

hold on I don't quite think you guys understand what I did for the first one

[jagged grotto]

alright that helps a lot, thanks

[sterile rivet]

you're welcome!

[jagged grotto]

had tried some of those, but as fate would have it I didn't try that one

loop cutting actually ended up working a lot better

[humble cedar]

what are you making? looks cool

[jagged grotto]

[jagged grotto]

You don't have to, it's fine

[humble cedar]

i've made a few aircraft in it though

[jagged grotto]

oooo that's cool

[humble cedar]

(this is with the mesh imported into studio)

[jagged grotto]

I have thought of making aircraft before

and trains

[mild forum]

Trains should be relatively easy

[jagged grotto]

yeah

[humble cedar]

much nicer than using csg thats for sure (this one i did fully in studio, not terrible but not as nice thats for sure)

[mild forum]

What is the SST benefactor role

[hoary orchid]

Ask in qcod but it's a role for people who support qs via the patron

[jagged grotto]

the interior of this model looks really cool too

[humble cedar]

that reminds me, i need to make a turbine for spps2

anyways, looks cool

[jagged grotto]

getting a good UV Unwrap of this thing is gonna be a nightmare

nevermind

now to decide if I wanna texture it in blender or not

[unreal sedge]

where else are you gonna texture it

[jagged grotto]

nowhere except making it a solid color

[unreal sedge]

oh

true depends on the artstyle of the game

[humble cedar]

you can split it up into multiple meshes if you wanna do different colours

[jagged grotto]

true

yeah I'll do that

[humble cedar]

you might have trouble aligning everything tho

[jagged grotto]

should be fine if I import as one fbx file, or upload via a package

if not I'm sure I can make it work

[unreal sedge]

you can always just copy the positions from blender to roblox

[jagged grotto]

something like this would work well

I wish I had substance painter for something like this though

[unreal sedge]

to be fair, blender does have a pretty good shading system

for procedural stuff anyway

[jagged grotto]

yeah but like

the texture will warp

it'll just be a pain

[unreal sedge]

smh

if only substance wasnt expensive as hell

[jagged grotto]

not to mention this is only the high pressure turbine

I still need to make the low pressure turbines

(they should be identical though)

[unreal sedge]

☠️

[jagged grotto]

LOL??

man this thing is fuckin awesome

[unreal sedge]

i can confirm

[jagged grotto]

do you guys like the one with or without the access port on top better

[unreal sedge]

without

[ebon bear]

What even this thing

Pumps?

[unreal sedge]

because players wont have a birds view of the turbine

they'll mostly be around it

[jagged grotto]

high pressure turbine

[ebon bear]

Pretty cool

[jagged grotto]

when you go under it, it ceases to exist :D

(as per usual with meshes)

[jagged grotto]

there's gonna be catwalks

[unreal sedge]

then i'd prefer it on top

[jagged grotto]

alr thanks

[unreal sedge]

considering i feel it'd look more empty there without it

[fading spire]

this looks like trash (this game is deffo gonna be fire i love it)

[hushed shell]

I'm having some trouble regarding realism and my game

I don't think I can make the fuel cells overly large

But the meltdown has to destroy an entire facility

[humble cedar]

what kinda reactor

if its fictional just say the fuel is energy dense

[inner cove]

👍 Good as always

[hushed shell]

it's not a reactor

[hushed shell]

the idea is that an electrical current is passed through the fuel which creates an artificial gravity field

the fuel distintegrates over time

but it explodes under excessive heat

the heat comes from the electrical resistivity of the fuel

[humble cedar]

maybe have some explosive compound nearby such as hydrogen

[hushed shell]

wouldn't that be stored far away

[humble cedar]

just say it isnt

realism can take a backseat sometimes

[cursive mulch]

I regret to Inform you that that is not how uv wrapping works

Unfortunately it is oh so much worse.

Anyways I remade the handle in blender and substance painter

If I am paying 30 dollars a month for substance I am going to get my money's worth

[jagged grotto]

[jagged grotto]

30 DOLLARS A MONTH?!?!

[cursive mulch]

Yes but I get access to a suite of their 3d modeling and texturing programs

I accidentally paid for a month so now I'm committed to teaching myself it

[unreal sedge]

you should use a proximity prompt in my opinion

other than that it's cool

[cursive mulch]

Fuck no

Unless you pay me 15 a month :}

[unreal sedge]

I MEAN

that is quite literally a discount

[neon obsidian]

yeah actually LOL

if only we can dream,,,

[sterile rivet]

every substance painter person in the server collectively tunes in to pay 15 bucks

[river moss]

Use armor paint or quixel mixer

[neon obsidian]

oh yeah armor paint is def like a good one, you do have to compile it yourself though

[jagged grotto]

Have to look into these, thanks

[cursive mulch]

Imo quixel is ass but I digress

I got the free trial of sp and fell in love with how intuitive it was

I don't mind shelling out the dough especially if it means I get to learn more skills that are lucrative outside of roblox

[river moss]

Armor paint?

[lament marsh]

wip worldbuild infographic

[cursive mulch]

Never heard of it nor used it tbh, have no baseline

[neon obsidian]

it is a great alternative of substance designer, i did use it but not alot

got some node based system and iirc, runs on your gpu, awesome softwaret#

[copper marsh]

you gotta get https://boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/

very simple but super potent albedo > PBR software

sp is great if you want to do things roughly

but for precision you usually want to do it from the ground up, and that app is seriously very good

[cursive mulch]

I'll have to check it out, looks interesting

[static abyss]

"Yipee!" *dies*

[lament marsh]

this is a drawing just in case

[unreal sedge]

yipee

thats some surprisingly good grip

ok that just isnt normal

[fading spire]

That is how velocity works lmao

It just want to go one direction no angle change or shit i guess

Thats why its weird specially climbing steep stuff?

[unreal sedge]

but

thats not how cars work!

[fading spire]

[unreal sedge]

i guess i am just using velocity and not normal physics

but yeah

[fading spire]

Alien technology car

At least i like the car damping youve made

[unreal sedge]

counterargument:

[fading spire]

I recommend make the wheel spin

[unreal sedge]

thx bro

i stole the formula

[fading spire]

Instead of. Velocity

[unreal sedge]

yeah true

[sterile rivet]

I really dig your style, it looks great

[inner cove]

But since it's all dark, here. Just outlines.

[sterile rivet]

what is this goober ordering

[inner cove]

I didn't think about it. I just wanted to put more action into character, so it was less empty.

[sterile rivet]

ah, nice

[inner cove]

I'm trying to move from just drawing heads and shoulders and practice arms and other stuff

[sterile rivet]

Well, your hands already look quite good, considering how hard it is to get those things right

[inner cove]

Oh I didn't even start trying hands.

The menu, yes.

[ebon bear]

What inside the menu tho?

ah yes 120 pounds chicken with some smashed potato

[inner cove]

Again, I didn't thought about it.
It just came to my mind when I had to go to restaurant, and I have no clue what to order, since I don't go there much. And since relatives called me, I had to get my hair right as well, so I don't look like a nightmare.

[ebon bear]

there's no fucking way

[stoic tapir]

Not that great with humanoids but

[inner cove]

Same, but I like it

Reminds of skinner from DW

[stoic tapir]

The Oldest One is the keeper of the universe and the flow of time. He created the universe in the past to save the future.
Ultimately he's just a guy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time
I don't wanna spoil because I plan on making an arg or movies about this

bound to the very fabric of the universe forever to watch over humanity, his family, and himself.

[inner cove]

I remember having my own world as well, with every character.

But after army there's nothing anymore

[stoic tapir]

yeah I have like

a Harry Potter level story
details, characters, events, places

in my head

[inner cove]

Sounds great

Mind to invite into your head?

[stoic tapir]

I keep most of this stuff a secret besides people I'm very close with so nobody copies off me

Even people here I never tell

[inner cove]

I can see that

[stoic tapir]

tell you what I'll tell you something about oldest

he's an important character in the story that got stuck in a dimension separate from ours, and essentially became "God". He is "God"

but it's not religious

[inner cove]

"All ears, grandpa. Tell us another story!"

[stoic tapir]

It's science fiction that takes a spin on it

Saying that much is spoiling enough

[inner cove]

I like it

[stoic tapir]

I like the deeper meanings behind the universe and the creation of time and reality

[inner cove]

Yeah. You never know what's behind the known grounds

Always wondered what's far away.

Even too much

[stoic tapir]

Yeah

I stare off into space sometimes and just think about it

[inner cove]

OH SAME

Until it got into mental disorder.

[stoic tapir]

Yeah

[inner cove]

Anyway, good work. Will wait for more of your drawings

[covert stag]

omg me fr!!!

[gilded pine]

uhh does someone know why the right light seems to have smaller angle and be less brightly? ( they are placed correctly)

[rich kettle]

probably want to move the light instances a liiitle bit down

[gilded pine]

ok it works

thanks

[hoary orchid]

Wait is this from vangaurd

This is amazing

The one problem is the performance may take a hit from the high detail

[gilded pine]

yes

[hoary orchid]

This is amazing though

[gilded pine]

nah i turned most of the detailed stuff into meshes so it shouldn't affect performance ig

[gilded pine]

thanks

still wip

[gilded cedar]

hi does anyone know why textures arent loading on this

[sterile rivet]

did you just upload them?

[gilded cedar]

i didnt upload the texture but i did just upload the sphere

[sterile rivet]

if the output says it's a 500 error it's not done processing through moderation yet

or it just isn't loading properly

i'd check the output either way

[gilded cedar]

the actual mesh is loaded, why wouldnt textures load on it tho

[sterile rivet]

I'm really not sure, does it work if you use a surfaceappearance as a middleman?

[gilded cedar]

i'll try

i also just tried this with a mesh i didnt upload (this is from bob's meshpack)

[sterile rivet]

It could be either a connection issue or something's wrong with the texture

might be a good idea to reboot studio and see if it fixes it

[gilded cedar]

restarting studio doesnt work
i'll try in a different place?

[sterile rivet]

i guess so

[gilded cedar]

it worked in a different place and now that i went back it looks to be getting an average color

[sterile rivet]

weird

[naive elm]

making blackjack game on discord

[unreal sedge]

damn

thats sick

didnt know you could make activities

[naive elm]

it's been a feature since they first released activities

they just haven't added documentation or proper developer support until recently

an activity is essentially an embedded website that interacts with the api

literally it

for example, this one would be hosted on https://blackjack.discord-activities.realsgii2.dev/

but it wouldn't be able to be accessed since it'll depend on input from discord on your computer through a server called RCP

[naive elm]

they're planning on integrating it into the app directory

this update comes with something cool though

you can now install bots to user accounts themselves instead of just servers

which means you can run a bot's commands in all of your dms, group chats, and all servers you're in

they primarily added this so you can use custom activities in dms

for servers though, the bot will be forced to respond with those "only you can see this" messages if it has over 25 members

for now

they're still working out the kinks and limitations to it

for more info on this and custom activities: https://discord.com/developers/docs/change-log

Woooo electrical outlet!! (One on the right is the newest one, left I made yesterday and am scrapping)

though on a serious note

i feel like the black border could very well just be a texture

[cursive mulch]

Fuck your polarized plugs!!!

[cursive mulch]

Maybe but I like how it looks as it is

[naive elm]

triangles

[cursive mulch]

It's not that bad

Have you seen the fully modeled one in the toolbox

[naive elm]

nop

[cursive mulch]

It's much worse

This is only around 80 triangles

Plus since it's so easy to separate I can swap it out for other things

[naive elm]

gb outlet :)

[cursive mulch]

Whar

[cursive mulch]

No ew

Smelly

(jk I love them)

game is based in canada though so

[naive elm]

also if you want a nice detail

[cursive mulch]

makes sense to have NA outlets

[naive elm]

make some of them 240v

since facilities like these have equipment that use higher power

[cursive mulch]

Oh for sure, but those are entirely different in na

but tbh most equipment would be hardwired anyway

Since it would probably run 575v nominal for most machinery

shoutout to this comic that im so normal about. totally

[merry stag]

I can't use ctrl 1 to select the other ctrl commands to change tools but ctrl+d and other stuff works. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue for me?

[copper marsh]

Ctrl + 1/2/3/4 has been changed to not use the Ctrl key

[merry stag]

What is it now

That is a bad update tbh

[copper marsh]

I just said

[merry stag]

So I have to just select the thing now?

I don't know what to do in terms of texturing and colours etc

whether i go for an industrial theme or futuristic

[hearty python]

Look good

[hoary orchid]

It's a process

It took forever for us

I started pretty badly

[unreal sedge]

well stop doing the process

[hoary orchid]

This was the first thing I did

[unreal sedge]

youre too cool

[hoary orchid]

But I still can improve even though I started badly

[unreal sedge]

better than current me fr

How long have you doing it for?
