I (didn't solve) how the DMR works

[pearl loom]

its physically impossible for the dmr to work

[hearty yoke]

well- yeah

dark matter doesn't exist

or if it does we don't know how

this is just stuff based off what was explained in lore

[carmine badge]

Theory 3 is confirmed. It's just that it's fission and not fusion.
#general message

[hearty yoke]

well now that's no fun >:(

[cursive mulch]

Thats for the power lasers tho, not the dmr itself

[carmine badge]

the DMR breaks down its fuel beyond atomic levels, which creates the most efficient reaction theoretically possible (as literally matter is dissolved to the quantic energy that composes it) and creates no nuclear waste

[cursive mulch]

cant be fission without nuclear byproducts tho

[hallow sluice]

anybody know which color looks better?

[merry stag]

The blue looks good since it isnt really distracting

[hallow sluice]

alright thanks

[carmine badge]

It's not traditional fission but "quantic fission". It's made up.

oh wait you're SST

ask Bob idk

[weak obsidian]

brown, but make it wood panelling instead of tile

[teal loom]

blue

[hallow sluice]

anybody have any ideas on how to make these power lazers look like i didnt just slap on a neon cylinder?

[ebon bear]

beam

use beam for more better effect

[hallow sluice]

ill try but i suck at attachments and stuff lol

[ebon bear]

it simple

[hallow sluice]

ima search up a tutorial on how to make one i just cant figure out how they work 😭

[ebon bear]

oops

hold on

[hallow sluice]

OHHHHH

I FORGOT I HAD TO USE 2 ATTACHMENTS LOL

whoops

Thanks!

[ebon bear]

for moving texture, you could fine one or make them by yourself

your choice, np

[hallow sluice]

alr i think i made it decent for now might need some work later

@ebon bear hello Why did you leave

[lusty walrus]

buh?

[naive elm]

im a web developer

[fleet bobcat]

Where'd you get such good textures???

Im jealous

[hallow sluice]

what do i put here to not make it look bland as hell?

[naive elm]

ambientcg is a good resource; they usually provide just raw bitmaps but they also provide substance files

[ebon bear]

To not making an empty chamber

suggest to add truss, pipes, and other details

for example"

[teal loom]

Made them myself

I subsntance painter

And by that I mean coloring the smart material

[echo haven]

guys how i connect red button as a startup button

[paper falcon]

by scripting

[echo haven]

bruh

is it hard

cuz i never tried

[paper falcon]

depends on how advanced you want it to be

[echo haven]

just a normal startup when pressed then start

[paper falcon]

what did you expect

Each game runs on scripts
otherwise there would be 0 gameplay features and interaction

[paper falcon]

Define normal

I can't read your mind in terms of how you specifically want to have it start

[echo haven]

how do i open the scripting thing

where i type codes

[paper falcon]

add a script to an instance of choice and double click it if it doesn't open already

[ebon bear]

The thing is, when he open it he would ask "what do im gonna write?"

[echo haven]

how do i find the code for reactor

[paper falcon]

you need to write that yourself

[paper falcon]

I'm not gonna do a step by step guide to scripting a reactor

I have a personal minimum where you need to know how to at least do basic scripting if you want to make a working reactor

[echo haven]

but idk what to write

[paper falcon]

That's really your own problem
You can't just make a reactor game without knowing how to script; you can't even make any real game without knowing how to script

and adding onto that
A reactor game is way too big of a project if you still need to learn coding; you should start off with small things like tutorials you can find on youtube and progressively make your own scripts with help of forums and documentation

[paper falcon]

and hardest task of doing this is not falling into the youtube tutorial purgatory

[hushed shell]

uhh

does lore dropping work in a thread

or do I just upload visual/audio art

[hearty yoke]

I think that's an option?

[jagged grotto]

Quick tip: instead of searching "wall" in the toolbox insert a part

[echo haven]

yeah i forgot

just found out

i hate coding idk how to connect this button

rlly hard

[echo haven]

should i have any beta features on in roblox studio

[ebon bear]

Well, if you hate coding then likely Impossible to "connect" this button, since it require experience scripting skill to do that and you seem is way too new so best advice is learning from the begining. Doing small project instead of large, too ambitious project

You likely can't put hope on someone to help you fully script it, im sorry but making game like that is very poorly. And yeah asking for help likely won't do anything cause people don't waste their time on a project that's don't bring much benefit for them

Unless if your building skill is already good and making things like for example my F-9 remaster, people asked to script it because it seem good and i accept it

And to be honest, no one is good at the begining (just like me 5 years ago lolol)

[echo haven]

what did you do to learn

just small stuff?

[ebon bear]

Small stuff to large stuff

Or medium

[surreal vine]

ngl just by your struggles, this sounds like waayyy too complicated of a task for you to carry out and i think you should get some tutorials under your belt first

[quartz olive]

Just cause

[hallow sluice]

why does this give backroom vibes lol

or scp cb vibes

[hasty jungle]

"why does this give scp:cb vibes"

hmmmm

[hallow sluice]

[hallow sluice]

Anybody know how to get that like worn out/chipped text kinda look? (Like in QSERF)

[rotund sparrow]

you can use gimp and its eraser shapes to create that effect ya want

its what i do atleast

[sterile rivet]

Using masks and concrete grunge textures

[dense radish]

A small piece of artwork, I guess

[fresh drift]

idk if its a good channel to ask that question if not i will move with this to my post propably

does anybody know how to make these textures ?

i know what specific texture it is

but how i can set it up

to achieve this effect. im making this in photoshop so what curve i need to use for it

[teal loom]

ACI IS THE BEST

[naive elm]

this would best be acheived using a mask

[jagged grotto]

silly thing I did
took inspiration from LIGPP in case it wasn't obvious

[fresh drift]

Yeah ik

But manipulating one is so hard

Yk what i will move with this thread to my post
It would be better

[hasty jungle]

drop the wireframe

[wild nova]

I seriously don't what to do at this point ...

I am getting this error whatever I do. And I can't fix it

[echo haven]

guys why is that option not there for me

i dont got this

but others have

In terms of building

[cursive mulch]

Might be me but the crossbracing seems way too thin and looks weird

[teal loom]

The what looks what

Crossbracing?

The Xs?

[cursive mulch]

Correct

They seem spindly

[teal loom]

They're just for show

So that people don't fall

good job

[lusty walrus]

That rope wobble looks eerily familiar.... (Fr tho, well done. It's looking good so far!)

[merry stag]

Very cool

[echo haven]

yea but that option is not there for me

it only says auto enable up coming features

[mystic pawn]

its just using spring for rope wobble

every other grapple system ive seen on roblox uses spring for the slack

[strange kelp]

guys, any thoughts?

[hearty yoke]

maybe make the neon a bit less bright, it kinda feels overwhelming compared to the other colors

[naive elm]

that's the same thing

[dawn mantle]

blender rookie here, as you can tell by the lack of a trigger this is unfinished, but for what i ahve is it optimized enough?

[merry stag]

Please fix those shading issues 🙏🏻

[merry stag]

It's somewhat optimized can you show the wireframe

[kindred kettle]

The shading issue

💔

[dawn mantle]

fr

yeah idk how to fix em ill look it up

[tawdry fox]

jeez thats a good button

[dawn mantle]

i do have some decimate and undo subdivision modifiers active

[hearty yoke]

okay so that stock can be decimated a lot more

other than that, maybe the barrel a bit. looks great otherwise

[dawn mantle]

kay kay

[merry stag]

You could definitely use lower poly cylinders for the stock and the sight

[neon obsidian]

oh its actually should be a simple fix
if you ever have low poly models and when shaded, their lightings are very off putting kinda like this

you can go to edit mode, go to edge select (number 2 on the keyboard) and select any edges or ideally faces you want to "sharpen"

once done, you can control the smoothness of your meshes by using those mark sharp on areas that otherwise shouldnt needed to be smoothed

or a rather quick fix if you dont want to do the hassle of it, you can use the shade auto smooth in object mode and control angles to determine what areas you want it to be sharp or not

also shading is based on topology of your model but, marking various edges to be sharp should let you control the overall flow of any mesh shadings

especially with low poly

[dawn mantle]

icic

ty

[neon obsidian]

yw

[dawn mantle]

yeah thats already looking better lol

[lusty walrus]

yall think the placements of the symbols, plug, and switche is good? I second guessing myself on it rn

[sharp apex]

it doesnt really look centered, maybe that's why?

[lusty walrus]

that might be it

let me try that rq

[sharp apex]

try centering most things

[lusty walrus]

yeah that fixed it

im still trying to decide how to do the switch, like horizontal or vertical

yeah, I think horizontal is where its at

that looks good

[strange kelp]

Reduced Bloom, and a bit improvement

[round jetty]

really cool! is this a public game to show models and such?

[teal loom]

[strange kelp]

Not really at the moment, but in nearly future it might be opened when I have finished all interactive stuff

would a convection cycle instability be a good way to cause a fusion reactor to melt down

[orchid topaz]

Could I see more of your control designs? They are sick as hell

[strange kelp]

There isnt many control design yet, they are actively being reworked on completely new design, There will be more work to show when I finish those

[orchid topaz]

Ah

Ok

Looks sick so far though

Nice job

[strange kelp]

Since you asked, This is only progress yet, there will be much more control panel

[orchid topaz]

Damm this is looking fire 🔥

[teal loom]

This is a reactor system?

[strange kelp]

Yes

[teal loom]

Will it be for sale?

[strange kelp]

Yes

[teal loom]

How much?

Will probably buy it for my temp site

I wouldn't be telling that in here

It would be advertising

[paper falcon]

Searching for advice here
Designed this door for this freight elevator but it feels somewhat off
Any recommendations for designs of ways to improve this?

[sharp apex]

maybe demarcating the lower half with some kinda thicker grill?
could be a texture or something like that

[paper falcon]

I was able to follow what you said until you mentioned demarcating
Not exactly sure what you mean with that when it comes to this grill

[sharp apex]

in other terms show where the lower half begins

[paper falcon]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

that sounds pretty reasonable
might fiddle with that tmr

[hallow sluice]

made a little catwalk to the reactor control room from the cargo tunnels

i think it looks too empty

[sharp apex]

add some railings
something that prevents people from falling

[hallow sluice]

will do! cant believe i forgot about rails lol

thanks!

[hallow sluice]

did it but idk if the colors are matching up

AHHH IT LOOKS LIKE A SAUNA

WHY DO THE LIGHTS LOOK LIKE THAT

[sharp apex]

make em lighter

i personally use 255, 250, 155 for warm LEDs or 198, 119, 59 for really really warm lights like sodium vapor

[mystic pawn]

wish roblox would allow for higher pixel resolutions

if you want a mesh to use surfaceappearance with a medium triangle count and not want it to be blurry then you have to separate it into separate pieces

[unborn perch]

erm

[teal loom]

[hallow sluice]

[round jetty]

Huh

[civic torrent]

hmmm cant quite tell why this is like this

[naive elm]

recalculate your normals

a
shift alt n I think

if that's not it it's under the alt n menu -> recalculate outside

[civic torrent]

uh, i dont think that did anything

Its something with the shading idk why though

[kindred kettle]

what does it look like in blender

[spark obsidian]

try triangulating your mesh

[neon obsidian]

I think I know why, do you know a feature in blender called "Mark Sharp?

esentially the shading issue may be because some, if not entirely your whole mesh doesn't have any "sharp edges", and considering the low polygon, it shades it together and creating that result.

You're polygons / triangles and normals should be good, in blender, go to edit mode, press 2 and start selecting all the edges you want it to not be smooth and marking them as sharp

they will make a blue outline like this

without them, my mesh would resemble like yours with odd shadings

but heres one with me setting up the mark sharps on the edges i want it to be sharp and not smoothed.

alternatively if you dont want to set up all the edges manually to be sharp, you can use the Shade Autosmooth and that would automatically set sharpness to any edges based on a angle that you can control.

see if that help?

[civic torrent]

will try soon thanks

[neon obsidian]

yw, lmk if that fixes the problem, your polygons and normals previously should be fine, just needed some sharps edges for it to be shaded properly

[neon obsidian]

btw, roblox studio automatically turns any quad in your meshes into triangles, so a heads up

[spark obsidian]

sometimes that bugs out

and faces are missing

[neon obsidian]

that is usually the case if you have n-gons

esentially polygons that has more than 4 points / verticies

[spark obsidian]

yeah i usually dont have those

[neon obsidian]

roblox for some reason just forgor how to turn it into triangles and esentially leaves a empty space

[neon obsidian]

you may sometimes have n-gons unknowingly if theres more than 4 verticies

especially when using boolean modifers to cut objects

i often made sure i highlight any vertices near each corner and merge it to a single point in case theres like one that is impossible to see because its next to another one at a very very small distance

because by all means, quads should be able to triangulate when ported to roblos

all of my meshes are quad, i only have issues when i got n gons and thats where i intervine to either triangulate it

or reconstruct it

[spark obsidian]

ah got it

[kindred kettle]

those who mark sharp

[kindred kettle]

also depending on the blender version this does not exist 🏚️

[civic torrent]

Yup, that fixed it

[neon obsidian]

older version although they dont have that dedicated option you can still use it, called a "Edge Split" Modifier

(i opened up blender 2.92 to double check)

that esentially does a similar job to blender's new shade autosmooth feature (though i think by splitting the edges? but sorta a handy dandy quick patch)

[neon obsidian]

[lusty walrus]

So real

[fleet zealot]

does anyone know how id make roblox textures colorable? id wanna make a texture that has the edge lighting effect like this, but colored also like this

basically just edge gradient thats colored

i havent really made a texture before so im not sure how id approach something like this

[sharp apex]

make a texture with no colour at all
think of the texture as a overlay, or extra layer
the neon part behind will act as the light for lighting effect
and the texture will colour it

for making the edges it's probably just making the texture's edges more transparent compared to the centre's

the way roblox handles transparency for textures can be weird sometimes

[lusty walrus]

Couldnt you just make a white one and then use the decal color property?

[sharp apex]

yes

make a texture with no colour at all

[lusty walrus]

Sorry, your wording was just odd

[sharp apex]

yeah sorry im tired lmao

[lusty walrus]

All good

[fleet zealot]

is it basically just this then idk how well thisll show

ngl

thats horrible

ignore that

im using btools in a game so

thats my limitation

[sharp apex]

my wording wasnt the best but the background needs to be transparent to let the neon part's light go through

the only requirements are

• a transparent to semi transparent background
• white colour only

[fleet zealot]

hmm alr

@elfin shadow dis you?

[lavish niche]

Or maybe it could be me, I have Aperture in my username as well.

[kindred kettle]

Blaperture is the better fusion

[sterile rivet]

Thanks for clarifying

Couldn't tell the two apart

[jagged grotto]

lmao

[naive elm]

button click effect i made and adore

[sharp apex]

fancy

[naive elm]

this ui speaks to me

[jagged grotto]

Might need to start over

[ebon bear]

Why doe tiger I, II, panther A D F, and this E have similar engine deck

[hushed shell]

Trying to make a spacecraft

[kindred kettle]

They had similar if not the same engine

[north herald]

It's the same old deck from the tiger 1.

[kindred kettle]

@ebon bear if you want the answer its literally because they just used all of the same engine but just different variants. from the tiger 1 to things like the jagdtiger and tiger 2
e-100 was planned with this engine in mind but also had a much better engine that unfortunately was never finished in time before e-100 got pwned

[ebon bear]

coolo

[kindred kettle]

working on the turret

so far the only finished thing is the mantlet

[plain silo]

why is it ultrakill v1 colored 😭

[burnt salmon]

What

What is that?

[sharp apex]

i mean..

i see it

[rose bramble]

...

V1 is peak

[ashen star]

@ebon bear What do you think of my truck

[teal loom]

shit ass enviroment work

[kindred kettle]

DONE.

@ebon bear hellowch

[ebon bear]

make it work

[kindred kettle]

it will work

[hallow sluice]

first time trying to actually make good guis lol

what should i fix?

OH MY I NEED SETTINGS BAR

did it but now it kinda looks like im doing too much

WHY DOES IT FEEL UNCENTERED

[hallow sluice]

fixed it

[naive elm]

old chat i made

[neon obsidian]

this look super elegant, i love it

[naive elm]

weird prototype i made

[sharp apex]

looks like a powershell x discord x google crossover

google lovessss rounding

[gilded cedar]

oh my god its perfect

[naive elm]

where does power shell come from 😭

[naive elm]

btw, pro tip from someone who has made literal fonts before

the sharpness or roundness of angle can make things look off (i.e. a truly centred b would look offset to the left a little bit)
the best way to fix this sort of thing is to just manually offset it until it looks good

[lusty walrus]

Just use mono-space, problem solved

[naive elm]

that... doesn't solve the problem

it's usually solved via kerning which monospace doesn't have

[sharp apex]

the top channel bars remind me of

[gilded pine]

My old dmr remake

should i remake it?

remake of a remake

[naive elm]

oh that's terminal, not power shell lmao

[sleek hatch]

absolutely, you did great with the first remake

[hallow sluice]

which looks more natural?

[sharp apex]

first one
it adds variety

[hallow sluice]

true but it feels kinda out of place

[sharp apex]

you could use another part with that tiles texture right below it

so it hides the bottom of the brick part

[ebon bear]

i suggest make the texture abit transparent

so it don't look dense

[hallow sluice]

that worked thanks!

[hallow sluice]

anybody know any good kinda retro fonts?

[hoary orchid]

[hasty jungle]

this isn't tunneler this just hole

i made this compilation of all the music on youtube https://youtu.be/-YwRZIvBpe8?si=BHvYz27zdA548aQ9

[weak obsidian]

wait this is fire

[ebon bear]

Destruction and preserve update coming soon ❤️

[weak obsidian]

YIPEE

[hallow sluice]

nice! how did you get the music used btw?

i found mine on a playlist

[weak obsidian]

https://v1.weatherscan.net/music/
and
https://v2.weatherscan.net/music/

the FTP system is exposed for some reason

[hallow sluice]

alr thanks!

[weak obsidian]

no problem!

[unborn perch]

DAAAAAAAAMN1!

[lusty walrus]

Left or Right?

[sharp apex]

left

depends on what you're using it for but left has a lot more detail

[lusty walrus]

just a basic BG

for rig and effect testing

nothing in specific

[sharp apex]

even then i think left is more interesting compared to a solid colour

[lusty walrus]

I'm inclined to agree, just wasn't sure

[sterile rivet]

I thought that was a normal map

[sleek hatch]

the ambience is very realistic, well done!!

[lusty walrus]

Inverted sphere lmao

[orchid topaz]

Thank you!

[weak obsidian]

@ebon bear proof of concept (cubicles are a free model, will make my own soon)

[ebon bear]

Change your studio quality to level 21

In settings, cannot see anything

[weak obsidian]

my monitor is just really low res

[hallow sluice]

should i make these chairs move or just keep them as spinning

imagine office chair rocket league

[lusty walrus]

Yes.

[hallow sluice]

my stupid ass forgot to add a maximum speed😭

[paper falcon]

just make it a feature and add the sound of an engine revving up

[hallow sluice]

I’ll try lol

[north herald]

littel horror game i made in 1 hour

[tardy ibex]

1.012 tris is wild

i can prob do it in 1.010

[merry stag]

Low poly G17 I made. thoughts?

[hallow sluice]

even though its not done it is 100% a improvement from whatever the old screen was

[kindred kettle]

I mean

it's a glock...

kinda.

it's very thin

[merry stag]

oh, ill make it the correct width when i make a new one

[naive elm]

even though you're going for low poly it's still... flat
add a basic like 1-3 sided bevel to the edges of the handle for example

[merry stag]

Ill try that but this is just a test gun im working on for improving my gun modeling skills

[naive elm]

no that's fine
you asked for criticism so don't make excuses, you're looking to improve

[merry stag]

im trying hard to improve rn because i kinda suck at modeling guns

[hallow sluice]

i know how to simplify this code its just im too lazy to do it

[merry stag]

@naive elm something like this?

[naive elm]

it works. is that a style you want to go for?

lemme rephrase that

[merry stag]

yep

[naive elm]

do you want the style to be low poly or do you just want a low poly model

[merry stag]

low poly model

[naive elm]

alright then yeah

that works well

[merry stag]

alr

[naive elm]

a slight bevel on the other edges would add enough depth too

[merry stag]

the shading 💀

[naive elm]

even if 1 would work

[merry stag]

ill redo this from the ground up to make it work better

and make it like the actual gun

[naive elm]

ngl I haven't mastered shading so I mess with the normals (alt n) until it looks good 💀

[merry stag]

shading is a weird thing

ive learned some thing about it

progress

[kindred kettle]

the Glock is not a simple gun to model

Good luck

[pallid flint]

uhm 🤓 use "for Index = 1, 5 do" kind of stuff

[hallow sluice]

yeah thats what i was gonna do but im too lazy lmao

copy and paste is my way to go

[pallid flint]

damn you are doing the slower thing cause if you do for index shit you would script it faster

[hallow sluice]

true but i every time i try to use indexing i do it wrong😭

[pallid flint]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hallow sluice]

OH I SEE WHY

i keep putting a period instead of a comma

[pallid flint]

[hallow sluice]

true

[hallow sluice]

WHAT THE HELL

i hate motor6d's

[hasty jungle]

thanks for the clarification i thought the left was the irl image

[pliant knot]

Your game?

[quick vault]

yes

[pliant knot]

what's the name

i'm curious

[quick vault]

Kolob Preserve

Its a milsim game

[weak obsidian]

bootleg doe logo for game im making

real logo for ref

[naive elm]

underwater airlock revision 3 version 5 or smth

added flooding, spinning light, outdoors, footsteps, and camera mechanics meant to simulate the actual game
changed the door texture to be not rusted, and changed lighting to be darker

[vast basin]

Of course its in swedish

[kindred kettle]

WTF SOMA

[naive elm]

<3

top game of all time

[kindred kettle]

soma reimagining in roblox?

[naive elm]

ive already made theta floors 1 and 2 (mostly)

https://www.roblox.com/games/5630692208

looks so close to the original 💔

[kindred kettle]

holy shit i think i saw this one time

as a random mythical pull from reccomended

i feel like. upsilon, omicron, and phi (optional site alpha too) would be the coolest parts to see in roblox

atleast to me

[covert stag]

So that’s where the scp pathos came from

[naive elm]

I haven't seen it but probably

[white cargo]

that looks fuckign amazing

[sharp apex]

i remember seeing an older version of that
really cool to see it working from both sides

[trail peak]

this model is the most optimized model i've ever seen

[merry stag]

What the

Bro

[trail peak]

i made that model when i was a beginner

[merry stag]

I think the tri count might be a bit high

Ah

[trail peak]

i didnt use to optimize models but i do now

[civic torrent]

Hey, I'm currently using a macbook but studio doesn't launch wondering if anyone could help?

Currently, the furthest studio get's is to the studio loading screen upon launch and then almost instantly closes out, no clue why. Trying normal roblox gives me a roblox was unable to install message, will post screenshot soon. Any ideas?

I'd assume the warning the normal roblox gives me must have something to do with studio not launching

Another thing is I'd assume it's something with internet but it works fine on my main PC

[naive elm]

yup :3

[naive elm]

@jagged grotto

[covert stag]

I’m not too sure but are you an admin account on your macbook?

Also check if you have it installed already

[civic torrent]

I am, and I had it installed but upon the issue tried a re-install only for it to fail.

[covert stag]

You might need to delete the old one?

[civic torrent]

There is none,

[hallow sluice]

I ACTUALLY HATE MYSELF BACK IN 2021 AND 2022 WHY DID I USE 0 MOVE FOR EVERYTHIGGGGGGG

NOW I HAVE TO GO BACK AND FIX LITERALLY EVERY MODEL

[naive elm]

LITERALLY

[sharp apex]

see what happens when you use .125 and your model somehow ends up on a magical number like .688

[hallow sluice]

yeah that still happens to me even today but back then i was using no move like a maniac

now i have to fix EVERY SINGLE THING I HAVE MADE FROM 2021 AND 2022

[sharp apex]

i feel your pain

i used to drag parts on other parts instead of using the studio tools 💔

[hallow sluice]

ME TOO LOL

i used to search up in toolbox invisible wall

[sharp apex]

f3x era was devastating.......

[sharp apex]

LMAO

[hallow sluice]

let me see if i can find that game rq

[sharp apex]

using f3x now feels like trying to ride a bicycle with no wheels

[hallow sluice]

true

[sharp apex]

the selection balls are so big and clumsy and eughhg and dhgjkldfkh

[hallow sluice]

i only ever use it if i wanna scale multiple parts at a time

[neon obsidian]

young me when i searched up cylinders in toolbox back then

[sharp apex]

it looks impossible to use

[hallow sluice]

its still a pain to use

[hallow sluice]

dont worry me too

[sharp apex]

me looking up door cuz i didnt know how to make a hinged door

[hallow sluice]

WHAT IS THIS THUMBNAIL😭

I MADE IT IN 2019 IN PAINT 3D LMAO

[neon obsidian]

omg paint 3d, i also used to actually

use that program to make my old thumbnails

[hallow sluice]

same here

and all my thumbnails sucked ass lol

[neon obsidian]

or straight up use roblox's oldie auto thumbnail thingies

[sharp apex]

2021 era krita thumbnails 💔

[neon obsidian]

where it let you generate a thumbnail from your camera placement in studio

[hallow sluice]

better than my thumbnails lol

[sharp apex]

omg 3d text

back when i thought making textguis was too hard

[hallow sluice]

OMG I FOUND THE OLD THUMBNAIL TO MY GAME THAT I MADE IN 2021 LOLLL

WHAT WAS THIS

misspell lol

[hallow sluice]

im so glad my reactor went from this

to this

it only took me... 3 years.......

[neon obsidian]

nice

[hallow sluice]

i spent like 2 hours trying to figure out how beams worked

[sharp apex]

the neon bricks for VFX

💔

[hallow sluice]

yeah i was stupid

[neon obsidian]

we all start from somewhere

i started my development journey around 2017

so AGES ago now

[hallow sluice]

i would say mine started in like 2019 but if your not counting me using free models for everything about like 2022-2023

[neon obsidian]

i remember using gmhs2 unnamed computer core (as it was uncopylocked for public use i think?)

so if anything i only started making my own stuff around 2019

when i finally started to utilize studio's for what it is

[hallow sluice]

i just stole abunch of uncopylocked games

i remember when i learnt lua like a year ago i made it my whole personality even though i couldn't even make a proper if statement😭

[neon obsidian]

i will mention, it does take time for you to adopt your own style and eventually be proud of your own work

i was a slow developer (in a sense it took me a long time before i understand how to properly be a dev

[hallow sluice]

i also was a slow developer

i drained my wallet promoting this one cringy ass game i had (like 300 bucks) for it to die the next day lol

[neon obsidian]

going from 2017

[hallow sluice]

lemme see my old games really quick

[neon obsidian]

to nowadays this

[hallow sluice]

WOAH

[neon obsidian]

i do believe anyone is capable to do anything

we all start from somewhere

[hallow sluice]

im stuck with roblox's limits

[sharp apex]

unity level ngl

[hallow sluice]

i only use roblox textures

[sharp apex]

or unreal5

[hallow sluice]

tried learning blender

it was a disaster

[neon obsidian]

if you ask young me that i would get to the level i will eventually get

i will not believe it lol

[neon obsidian]

blender is quite a challenge, i know not everyone will understand it

i only started getting into blender in 2023

so i do consider myself a newbie

[hallow sluice]

my younger self had the biggest ego even though i sucked at everything😭

OH MY I FOUND THE OLD VERSION OF MY GAME

i loved 3dtext

WHAT WAS THIS

[neon obsidian]

2004™️

[hallow sluice]

i honestly did not know what a trademark was back then LMAO

this is great

i think this was an elevator...

[sharp apex]

the gap the gap the gap

omg the
diamond plating texture whatever

[hallow sluice]

be lucky this version is kinda updated

the older version had diamond plates EVERYWHERE

i made so many models and expected future me to "script it"

all those models are gone basically

big ass space for 2 boards😭

[naive elm]

that would be fire

[naive elm]

readded interlock doors using a brand new system I'm quite happy with

I don't have screenshots or videos cause I forgor and hopped in bed

this is what it looks like in the actual game though

[naive elm]

*note: there was an issue exporting so that'll have to be fixed

the UVs aren't correct and the albedo map just doesn't exist in the files, yet the game renders it correctly

[naive elm]

there's many different types of doors in this universe and it became a problem managing in the old pathos game

so I made a door builder: it constructs a door class with boilerplate code in it

all I need to add to make a new type of door is the opening and closing animations/sound cues, the sound map (due to the way the sounds are uploaded as a single file, sound maps are the points where a specific sound exists), and the tag to use

THANK YOU. roblox

ctrl shift r

[kindred kettle]

i did

guess what

[naive elm]

with the shift?

[kindred kettle]

yes.

[naive elm]

damn

[kindred kettle]

i think roblox is being.. SLOW.

[naive elm]

that's gay

no soma for you

[kindred kettle]

i am specifically barred from SOMA

[kindred kettle]

HOORAY!

it works

[naive elm]

enjoy drowning!!!!

(you have a diving suit)

(and you sound oddly like simon jarett)

[hallow sluice]

here are my blast door models over the years. First Image 2021 (i actually thought it looked good back then😭), 2nd image 2022 or 2023 (decent), 3rd image 2025 (feels a little bland in my opinion)

[naive elm]

did you enjoy drowning

[kindred kettle]

i have blender project to attend to

[carmine flame]

[hoary orchid]

finally found out how to color a sphere in

better image

[spark obsidian]

im never looking in the channel again

[hoary orchid]

why?

[spark obsidian]

first thing i see is the most unoptimized mesh that has ever touched my eyes

[fleet bobcat]

That's the color, if you looked you'd see the actual mesh

goog....

read context 😭

[hoary orchid]

i found this just now 💀

[hoary orchid]

it's not the color lmao

it was a joke

[fleet bobcat]

Buh???? my eyes are trippin now to 😭

[kindred kettle]

hiddendevs ahh model

[hoary orchid]

is hidden devs that bad

[kindred kettle]

well

you either have

people who i think havent used any modeling software before

and then have people who do modeling professionally

and then you have people like me (rare) who just kinda. do it. and are decent at it

[hallow sluice]

how do i make audios sound more alive? Like which of these do i use?

oh my the quality is terrible on the video

shouldve never compressed it

[naive elm]

none of them. use SoundService's properties

also a possible problem is that the sounds you're using just don't fit the style you're going for at all

[hallow sluice]

ive seen soundservice before but ive never known what it does

[naive elm]

generally a more complete "environment" will make sounds fit in more too

[naive elm]

controls audio properties on a global scale

it has reverb presets you can try out

[hallow sluice]

oh thats sound good!

ill try it!

[naive elm]

yeah

[naive elm]

i post this way too much but the sounds work here because they all fit together and work nicely with the environment

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1352451526182043822/1352452576133513317/2025-03-19_20-16-19.mp4?ex=67de111d&is=67dcbf9d&hm=266b4f42fc25755f08e77f540f9934a4e82aba10a633f01016e31089ce68740e&

when im searching for sounds for a project

i dont use the catalogue much

i generally find stuff online

then just upload it to roblox

or compose one sound from multiple online

like this one (feel free to use if you want)

[hallow sluice]

honestly i dont know where to find sounds

i just find them in the toolbox and if im lucky it fits well

[naive elm]

there's a bunch of free stuff online

...or you can 🏴‍☠️

[hallow sluice]

i do that all the time lmao

[naive elm]

back when i got started with stuff like 5 years ago

i used FMOD's library

every sound there is 99 cents

Cut your losses

or… you can steal it from games

Ive done it for Infra

[paper falcon]

mocking the teacher progress

[dawn mantle]

lmao

[paper falcon]

It's literally a boss song I'm making just because of the first impression a teacher gave us (she basically came off as a pyromaniac)

[lusty walrus]

Actually really good

I like the alarms and screaming in the backround

[hallow sluice]

do i make a new surface zone😭 its actually so bad and makes it look like a deformed modern building

ah yes 1 lane road

long ass "runway" that is larger then the facility

[plain silo]

dwarf runway if you ask me

[hallow sluice]

yeah but compared to the facility size its too big and its only 1 runway lmao

[naive elm]

lamp

the way i did this is kinda scary

it may be performance impactful

so ill test out how it works and if it doesn't work out

ill swap to another method

it uses a surfacegui with the emission texture on it

ok after experimentation i could just use a decal

[hallow sluice]

yall blender users got it nice im stuck here with unions

[sharp apex]

slap a Box collision on it and you'll be fine

[hallow sluice]

what does that do? does it just change the collision zone to a cube?

[sharp apex]

yes

collisions are the 2nd most performance heavy property on unions

first being triangles, topology and those things

having a lesser detailed collision means the game doesnt have to do as much work handling it

i do think it has a limited effect and if you use tons of unions, you should resort to blender

[hallow sluice]

is that why my game is so laggy😭 i used to turn everything into unions in 2021-2022 lmao

[sharp apex]

i wouldnt say 413 is a horrible amount

might be good

[hallow sluice]

yea but i turned like everything i could

[sharp apex]

my game has 255 rn and its at early stages of development

lemme take out my most recent finished project and it might be something else

this doesnt take into account Intersect

OH YEAH TBF

like 50% of that number is because of 2023 era models

which there are approximately

3 on the map

3 or so models having 50% of 2.5K unions

oh my god yeah it went down

yeah DONT do this

detail comes at a cost when you're clueless about something

using unions on everything is a pretty common beginner mistake i think

[hallow sluice]

2 THOUSAND?!?!?!

i think ima seperate everything that i can

[sharp apex]

this isnt even the worst

[hallow sluice]

btw how do you have the new icons?

[sharp apex]

that is what i consider bad

[sharp apex]

its a custom icon pack
