General discussion

[hoary orchid]

what?

[civic charm]

lemme show u what I madde

[hoary orchid]

oh damn im cooked

[civic charm]

real

just like all of us

[hoary orchid]

Is this yours?

[civic charm]

NO LMFAO

this mine

I'm adding the stripes

WHERE DOES EVERYONE GET THE DARN TEXTURES GODDAMNIT

[hoary orchid]

ambientcg.com or they made it themselves

[civic charm]

pluh

[hoary orchid]

i probably should be more positive about my work

[tawny flare]

i draw

why the fuck is it sideways 😭

[civic charm]

Question: does this look like a door to yall? (the thing behind the tree)

[tranquil otter]

everyone started their way from something easy, not from a big roblox community

[tranquil otter]

yeah, theres also some text, so i believe it is the door to some area

[civic charm]

ok nice

[coral hull]

yes

Here’s it for reference if you want

[civic charm]

yea figured

[tawny flare]

we've all been there

youll work it out as long as you stay on le right path

[coral hull]

to me this looks like a 1:1

[civic charm]

WHY THE FUCK DOES IT DO THAT

[tawny flare]

pipe go boom

[worn apex]

Why do you have so many sides for that cylinder 😭

[stoic tapir]

[hoary nacelle]

Oh dear heavens

[civic charm]

EVEN WITH 1 IT GOES TO FUCK ITSELF

I left it on default cuz idk

now I need some wheels lol

this looks like a joke

better

[neon obsidian]

Careful with negative thoughts. Don't let it mask your otherwise achivement.

Countless time I have to keep tabs with my mindset to not fall demotivated, though sometimes it slips through

You and other are honestly regardless if getting the position or not, are going beyond. im serious, all of you guys are doing phenomenal

im just watching in the background, with a big ol' smile because you guys are going out there to try (even if the chances may be slim) taking the opportunity that maybe in the future you can translate to other career opportunity to get yourself a solid job

sorryif i suddenly sound like the cliche youtube ahh motivator, i just wanna

put my two cents here lol

[worn apex]

competing with a lot of people is always demotivating

the first few days I worked on it 24/7 but now I gotta force myself into it for atleast an hour daily

[ebon bear]

I keep doubting myself

Because I can guess what’s happening next

And to be fair it not a competition also

[neon obsidian]

it is

the mindset will and always appear, it just up to how you channel it or take those emotions to
trust me, i also can fall into that mindset too, especially when my day aint going great

[worn apex]

I'm mostly demotivated because I've been trying for 3 years and each app I'm either burnt out or demotivated so the quality is always mid

[neon obsidian]

i have ways to midigate it though

[worn apex]

I gotta pick between passing into the next year of school or qs apps

[ebon bear]

To avoid this is uhh ignore that you apply for SST, and just do the thing you want

So you don’t be worried

[worn apex]

yeah but then the motivation is fully gone because it feels like you're doing it for no reason at all

dev apps always suck everywhere and always will sadly

[ebon bear]

I think people also get jealous??

[worn apex]

wdym by that

[ebon bear]

Well Im surely someone is jealous when found their apps is somewhat better than them

Just don’t know yet

Plus about doubting is there are too many people entering, and 3 spots but people are like thousands so chances getting in is low

[worn apex]

mm yea, though we should probably stop filling the chat with this since it's for creations but good luck with your app if you're applying

[civic charm]

Yea ;-;

I have to fix my chairs bruh

[neon obsidian]

mhm, i like to chime in to cheer you guys on

[civic charm]

They look ugly as hell

[worn apex]

I got inspired by the old JNL chairs

remade them and it kind of fits

gonna show them but studio has been installing for an hour and still not done yet

[ebon bear]

Attempting making somewhat lighting

[worn apex]

these I mean

also pretty happy with these, didn't spend much time on texturing but it works somewhat

[hoary orchid]

yeah that's what I've doen

i don't know why i was so negative, it looks pretty good

[hoary orchid]

seriously?

[hoary orchid]

apply scale

[hoary orchid]

i should just need to finish the garrage walls and finish the exterior

I might have to redo the ones i did before this since i used snapping while scaling

glad i already made and textured all the props

might need to make another few materials

[hearty yoke]

please get hired

[hoary orchid]

im hoping for you

[worn apex]

making these will be fun btw

[hoary orchid]

the boxes might just need to be separate meshes for that resolution on them

[worn apex]

finally I'll be able to use my marvelous designer subscription

[worn apex]

not really

good uv unwrapping is enough

I'm thinking of making a snow pbr decal to put over the build but I wonder how it'll look

[hoary orchid]

shouldn't be too hard since it's a bunch of boxes

but honestly a material might just be easier

[civic charm]

If you can find the texture please give it to me 😭

[worn apex]

wdym find

[civic charm]

nah bro I'm incapable of making textures

[tranquil otter]

so real

[worn apex]

idk if these snow tiles make it look better or worse

it does look good on the inside

[civic charm]

Bro...

[tranquil otter]

when I saw the apps, I was in roblox studio for the whole night, 6,5 hours, then I got 2 hours of rest, and continued to build something, but now I'm trying to do just anything, because I'm like "I've done the minimum, maybe it is not worth it to do these builds, and get nothing", but I'll try to submit full app

[tranquil otter]

I don't really like the snow on the windows, like honestly, this fits in the design, but I don't like it for some reason

maybe it'll look better with 0,1 transparency

[worn apex]

probably roblox anti aliasing plays a role too

because it's mid

[tranquil otter]

but it looks cool indoors

[worn apex]

ok 0.5 makes it look even better actually

[tranquil otter]

how does it look

[tranquil otter]

yeah, It's better now

[civic charm]

devs just hire this guy already

[tranquil otter]

why is ur lighting is SO SOFT, my lighting is good, but still not good enough

[tranquil otter]

as I said, we have one less spot for SST

[civic charm]

2 if u count bideo

[tranquil otter]

and one more cool builder for SNL

[tranquil otter]

bideo did an amazing F-9 rework, but he's more QSERF builder, everyone have their own building style

[civic charm]

look at the difference 😭

(I gotta adjust the ramp now that I think about it)

[worn apex]

yea looks way better

[tranquil otter]

like, it is not spending 2 hours of creating a good text for QCOD app for example, it is the whole month of hard work... and probably for nothing

[tranquil otter]

lighting, and it'll be better

[worn apex]

can also be used on concrete

[tranquil otter]

lookin cool

[worn apex]

feeling like sculpting icicles too

[civic charm]

yea I'm trying to change a bit but it doesnt do that much (prob cuz I dont really play with lightning much)

[worn apex]

lighting isn't that in my opinion

[tranquil otter]

the best thing u can try is to find a good skybox, or find a free edition for "atmos" plugin

[worn apex]

but idk I've been working as an lighting artist for some games so I learned stuff, probably the biggest tip is to use attachments and point likes around main lights to create global illumination effects

example of what I mean

[tranquil otter]

is that roblox?

[worn apex]

well yea this is a roblox group

[civic charm]

changed a bit

[tranquil otter]

seriously, it looks like something, but not roblox

[tranquil otter]

you've did amazing lighting in a minute, while I was trying for 30 minutes, and didn't got that I wanted 😭

[civic charm]

LOL

[worn apex]

I wonder if I could make and use a terrain pack for these

[civic charm]

well I do have a little trick

see this part of the facility is actually directly under the sunlight

hollup

this looks similar but they probably changed it

[worn apex]

I remember those solar towers from jnl

well snl is new jnl so ofc

[civic charm]

yea

since

[worn apex]

think they were used in old qsml stuff too though

[tranquil otter]

I have no idea how will I do the background things

[civic charm]

roblox's sun is trippy as hell and breaks lightning through walls...

[worn apex]

you gotta use thick walls or the light is gonna bleed through

[civic charm]

I've made my own lightning for the roof

[civic charm]

instead of that I blocked the sun

lol

fuck u sun

[worn apex]

I just did this to fix it

looks cool and is useful

[stoic tapir]

[civic charm]

LMFAO ITS CALLED "TAFFO"

why 😭

[stoic tapir]

taffos blood is pure redbull

[civic charm]

nah cuz he flies and kidnaps people

[tranquil otter]

how will reviewers get into there?

[civic charm]

redbull gives u wings

[civic charm]

ramp

[tranquil otter]

add this to snl

[worn apex]

I WANNA make custom trees but sculpting them takes so long it's crazy

[civic charm]

WHEN THE IMPOSTOR IS SUS

insert amogus sfx

Do these 2 look the same to yall? (Ignore wheels number)

[hoary orchid]

shit just realized i needed to model that too

[civic charm]

LOL

[hoary orchid]

i also have to texture it

[civic charm]

I have to texture everything

[hoary orchid]

what do you mean

like apply a texture

[coral hull]

I would remove the snow splatter on the ground

[civic charm]

peak

[hearty yoke]

delicious, delicious building.

[civic charm]

I'm missing textures everywhere

[hoary orchid]

if you make a vending machine, try basing it off the image used for the general discussion thread

[coral hull]

wait what is the first one

[civic charm]

I got silly

[hoary orchid]

that's what i did

[coral hull]

just the back of a truck right

[civic charm]

no idea

no its a machinery of its own

[coral hull]

I think the one in SNL is a truck

just we can’t see the front

I MIGHT have an image of the full model

[civic charm]

show

[coral hull]

This is the front of it

The reason the old model is there is it’s a placeholder

[tranquil otter]

as I know, all trees in actual qserf are free models

[worn apex]

yea because nobody knows how to make them or doesn't wanna make them

too much work for a simple thing

[coral hull]

I had to ask just to make sure because the first one didn’t seem right

[tranquil otter]

imagine doing the whole tree with decals, parts, and negative parts 💀

[coral hull]

You can actually take the model from QSML3 alpha

It’s there to take but credit it

[worn apex]

more stuff

[tranquil otter]

looks fire as always

[hoary orchid]

looks great, the one issue I see is terrain alignment with the paths

[worn apex]

wdym by that

[hoary orchid]

like the bottom doesn't match up with the terrain in some places

[worn apex]

can't do anything with that since it's rock and rock is always like that

I could replace it with snow but it'd look bad

[hoary orchid]

oh yeah i hate that

[worn apex]

fixed it with slate

[hoary orchid]

nice

why does rock even do that

[worn apex]

more variation actually

[worn apex]

well it looks better that way

[hearty yoke]

its so peak

[worn apex]

ok I think this area is done, just gotta make the outside seating and then I can move on to the third area

will probably get some ideas later and edit it more but for now I think it's fine

[lavish niche]

The sun is leaking

[worn apex]

just wanna say 2025 vs 2023 apps (not burnt out vs burnt out)

[tranquil otter]

I hate working with terrain, it is fucking annoying and hard thing

[hoary orchid]

how'd you not get in

[tranquil otter]

I'll never understand how to do such accurate terrain

[worn apex]

beceause it looks bad and it's not even finished

ok last one, this view is hot

[hoary orchid]

ok nevermind didn't see that side

[surreal vine]

ive just lost my motivation to continue it

[hoary orchid]

i somehow still have motivation

I'm probably going to lose it

[worn apex]

yea same

I'm not sure which one to do now

100% not doing the turbine

maybe dormitories, both mngs since I already made models for it and cargo and that'll be all I guess

[surreal vine]

i want to do all but i cant

[zinc crane]

Yeah motivation is a thing that stops me the most but I will try to finish

[tranquil otter]

nearly 2 weeks already passed... and I've done only 2 recreations, and both of them needs a crap ton of some details that I want to add, or just building issues fix

I need to work

[surreal vine]

i did mgns, the snl control room and barely started on qserf electrical but im just not motivated to continue it

[civic charm]

bro u only need 2 😭

[hearty yoke]

maybe, but it's fun

[civic charm]

I'm not even done with mine 2 😭

[hoary orchid]

truck progress so far

[civic charm]

it dont look like the one in the picture bro

[hoary orchid]

it doesn't really have to

[civic charm]

uh

[hoary orchid]

that ones a placeholder

[civic charm]

yes it does?

._.

who said it's a placeholder?

[hoary orchid]

that's a really old model

from around qsml 2 or 3

[civic charm]

oh

shouldnt we try to make that anyways?

[hoary orchid]

I personally think this looks better but you can make that

[stoic tapir]

old project of mine I tweaked

@naive elm Ocean stufff

[naive elm]

so fire

fish 👁️

ive been wondering how i should do the fish in my game

[tawdry fox]

i will be slightly disappointed if you dont get in

you have wonderful talent and i want to see your wonderful work in games

[vague shore]

ive been building on roblox for 8 years and ive only marginally improved

am i cooked?

[quartz olive]

Lock in

[hearty yoke]

the fucking yippee door lock lmao

[hoary nacelle]

[worn apex]

wanted to try out a wacom tablet finally but I still have to get used to it so the snow is quite mid

[tranquil otter]

theres too much on the table? but still looks sick

[worn apex]

also remade the lights in 3d because those were parts only before

[tranquil otter]

fully from parts

[worn apex]

so technically, NOW it is finished

[dusty vault]

https://tenor.com/view/tpot-bfdi-bfb-bfdia-idfb-gif-16316043200731573468

AMAZING

[naive elm]

yeah, it's the button we use for all admin rooms

[civic charm]

Katsumi reaction says it all, we have one less spot for SST

[dusty vault]

oh cmon my reaction doesn't determine anything 😭

[dusty vault]

i don't have access to the apps anyway

[civic charm]

🤷

[dusty vault]

plus you shouldn't be doing the apps just for the spot, there's a lot to gain from simply participating!

[civic charm]

well yea i am learning new stuff :3 (I didnt know how to use blender lmfao )

[worn apex]

doing everything in 3d would probably be easier and more fun though you'd need a 3d mouse to make the movement better

[civic charm]

god that thing is so cool

[worn apex]

I was thinking of buying those super expensive ones and use that full time for modeling but still considering

spacemouse pro would be enough but the enterprise costs like only a few more and it's way better

[civic charm]

how cooked am I from 1 to 10?

[worn apex]

i'd say mngs is more accurate but the storage is a bit off

[civic charm]

too large?

[worn apex]

too wide

[civic charm]

yea that

I should probably unstretch them a bit

[worn apex]

yea

[civic charm]

made the room smaller too

[worn apex]

looks better

[civic charm]

imma fix the lights rq

smallest office ever

[ebon bear]

yeah im aint getting in

hahahha

[civic charm]

the app?

[ebon bear]

yeah

gg on your future

imma stay away abit

[civic charm]

wdym you're good at it

[ebon bear]

Im more interest in realistic and gameplay

QSERF is not kind of that

got bored

[civic charm]

well you could find ways to optimize it so that you can then add more detail

[ebon bear]

if it RBWR then yeah why the hell not joining in

[civic charm]

well uh

that was unexpected

we have a chance chat

lmfao

[naive elm]

wtf is this 😭

also does anyone have issues with collection service passing "null" as an object argument in instance added events?

[hearty yoke]

mildly painful to observe

[hoary orchid]

wait wdym

he's not applying?

[civic charm]

bideo backing down

yes

[hoary orchid]

o

gl with rbwr

[civic charm]

WE HAVE A CHANCE RAHHHHHHHHHHH

-# no offence bideo lmfao

[hoary orchid]

i could have a chance

[civic charm]

show me a pic

[hoary orchid]

not done yet

[civic charm]

really cool

[worn apex]

damn I gotta make a vending machine now

I was super lazy and used the qsml 3 one but nvm

[civic charm]

bruh

[hoary orchid]

i need to finish the truck

[worn apex]

wait did you make that model or

[hoary orchid]

based off the logo for this channel

[hoary orchid]

yeah

based it off this

[worn apex]

gonna start optimizing now

actually gonna bake normals this time

[worn apex]

yea so I forgot roblox has a 1k limit for pbr so I made the whole thing in one mesh and then got surprised that it looks ass up close but alteast the tris count is good but I'm not redoing it again so whatever

500 tris or so

[kindred kettle]

do we get a whole review

[hoary orchid]

nice

[worn apex]

looks so much better but in 2k though

also not gonna make the graphics for it because I wanna focus on building other stuf more

[shy mortar]

Do yall think i should ad mor pipes?

[brazen crag]

na

[naive elm]

a couple sounds i composed a while ago

[shy mortar]

dose anyone have a transparent grid texture

[naive elm]

making a new main menu with loading guis between worlds

[hoary orchid]

trucks

[naive elm]

@sharp apex GET IN HERE

[hoary orchid]

huh

[naive elm]

we're part of the semitruck thread in corp random 😭

[hoary orchid]

oh

[ebon bear]

well im not apply for RBWR

i mean like i got interest in RBWR over QS stuff

so if i get in i wouldn't get motivation much

[covert stag]

the electric state my beloved

[quartz olive]

real

For All Mankind and TES my beloved

[covert stag]

:3 graffiti

[quartz olive]

:3 graffiti 🗣️

[civic charm]

I'm making it accurate lol

[tawdry fox]

that road is a 10 on a smoothness scale

[civic charm]

ik 😭

[civic charm]

solved the weird color

I just had to make the decal a bit transparent

[civic charm]

blender magic

[civic charm]

ass trailer

(the wheels arent mine)

[hoary orchid]

yeah I just really don't like the placeholder design

[worn apex]

I need help choosing guys, which one should i do next: dormitories, storage or both mngs areas

[hoary orchid]

maybe add variety by doing mngs?

not sure

[worn apex]

Well sst values snl builds over everything else

[sharp apex]

QS TRUCKS ⁉️

[hoary orchid]

yeah it took forever

no mirrors since i used a mirror eye like idea for cameras replacing mirrors

[coral hull]

they only wanna see how you build it doesn’t matter which project you end up doing

[ebon bear]

I love tanks

[worn apex]

that's what I was told, they're looking for builders that'll work on snl so obviously if you build snl stuff and it looks good you have a tiny bit more higher chance

[warm igloo]

??

your getting in either way

[sharp apex]

oh i can see that
pretty cool detail ngl

[worn apex]

I doubt

not everyone shares their apps

[warm igloo]

??

[worn apex]

there could be some crazy looking apps that we don't see here

[warm igloo]

your applications are allowed to double as public showcases

[worn apex]

yea but that doesn't mean you have to show it

[warm igloo]

true but

look idk i dont think that will make a big difference

[worn apex]

just wanna say I added shadows and made the lights smaller so it looks much better

[civic charm]

like it didnt already look good

[worn apex]

well it certainly is mid compared to my other stuff

thinking I'll do a concrete snow variant instead of the tiles actually

[civic charm]

bro why...

why cant my blender work normally...

[worn apex]

don't use so many sides for cylinders like that

8-10 is enough

maybe 12

[ebon bear]

Making your journey way to circulation pumps worser

[hoary orchid]

apply scale

[ebon bear]

edge loop existed right

[civic charm]

found another solution, I have to not modify the 2 cilinders before bridging

[hasty jungle]

how does this even happen

you're gonna need a priest on speed dial just for your blender

[civic charm]

when you modify the 2 parts before creating the bridge

i only scaled them a bit

[hoary orchid]

you can just apply scale

control a

scale

[hoary orchid]

garage doors done

[hoary orchid]

bags done

[civic charm]

jesus

[hoary orchid]

added pallets

[hoary orchid]

wdym

[civic charm]

they're detailed as hell

[hoary orchid]

it's just the texture

[civic charm]

I'm missing a lot of textures

[hoary orchid]

i had to make this for the model so sadly you can't find textures like this for a specific model

a material could work

but for this specific case the text means it would have to be a custom texture in substance

[hoary orchid]

the boxes

[warm igloo]

@hoary orchid do you make ur own textures or use like premade ones in substance sometimes

[hoary orchid]

for most materials i use premade textures that i mess around with

sometimes like for the concrete bags and the corrugated steel i make textures in designer

[warm igloo]

i see

damn

respect tho

[hoary orchid]

added these

collisions all optimized

[warm igloo]

dude why are you guys doing all that 😭

its a recreation build you do NOT need to optimise collisions

[hoary orchid]

wdym

i just do it to improve preformance

and also i want it to be as good as possible

i probably have to redo the first two since i had ugly scales like this

[burnt cairn]

turn it into an actual fanmade game, ill script it for ye

been wanting 2 do a devops core game for a while

[hasty jungle]

evil ass x.536 scaled object

[kindred kettle]

cool pipe mk.1

(its a tank cannon i think

[tranquil otter]

dormitories are done i think (maybe ill add something) and rcr needs chairs, what do you guys think about those 2 examples?

[lusty walrus]

I do really like them both, but I feel some imperfections could be nice! like some grime, or a misplaced object or two

[civic charm]

Bro is speedrunnimg

[tranquil otter]

nah 2 weeks on 2,5 builds

I'm doing cargo rn

[tranquil otter]

I'll try to find something, like snow, or something else, and I'll also fix the frozen windows (texture is too transparent)

[tranquil otter]

currently there's no light at all, the road is done, and I've already did model of the lamp

[civic charm]

Imma have to finish up the chairs and then publish, cuz I have to study since there are 783 exams coming up

[tranquil otter]

I'm sick rn, so I have some time for building, but I'm kinda tired of sitting in studio for days

[civic charm]

Gl ig

See you on the other side

🫡

[pliant knot]

Yo uh someone can help me? I am trying to fire an event through a normal script in ServerStorage however it seems like it can't detect player's characters?

[sharp apex]

are you creating a "Characters" folder and putting everyone's characters in it thru another script?

[pliant knot]

Yes

The characters folder already exists also

[sharp apex]

are you sure its not "NicoOfTheHell"

the username has to match

[pliant knot]

It does

[sharp apex]

in the script im reading "NicoOftheHell"

[pliant knot]

Oh

Shoot

[sharp apex]

i'm assuming you know this will only work for you since anyone who's not named "NicoOfTheHell" will get an error upon running that

[pliant knot]

Yeah might be the issue

But

In the second image I'm getting the recipient

Which should replace nicoofthehell

(did nicoofthehell as a debug)

But seemed to not work

[sharp apex]

im assuming moderator is the player

i see yea

[pliant knot]

Recipient

[civic charm]

I've just realized that... this part of the cargo bay has only 1 lane and not 2...

I'm going to kill myself

[pliant knot]

Normally I would have done game.Workspace.Characters:Find first child(data.Recipient)

But when it fires to the script handling the armor

It doesn't return a character

(can't send the script rn)

[sharp apex]

it depends if the script loads before or after the game has loaded
id guess its a nice safeguard but i personally wouldn't think it's necessary

in virtually all cases, that'll do the same Workspace.Characters.Recipient

[hoary orchid]

me too, ngl I think it makes more sense to do two so i might just keep it that way

[civic charm]

peak texturing

[hasty jungle]

phenomenal

[tranquil otter]

where did u found QS logo? I want to put it in my builds too

[civic charm]

wait

imma find it again

[tranquil otter]

I've already seen the logo on toolbox, but it was really bad quality

[civic charm]

#🔨┃developer message

[tranquil otter]

thanks

[civic charm]

I suggest to remove the bg since its completely black when you add it to roblox decal

[tranquil otter]

I'll just put it on the part like a texture, and do the part transparent

ah, u mean the bg on the picture itself?

[shy mortar]

Did you make it yourself the trees?

[tranquil otter]

then yeah, it'll take 10 secs

[civic charm]

no I found it in the toolbox, named QSERF plant or sum

[pliant knot]

@sharp apex I think I found the issue, I were trying to do the thing while I forgot that the values "data.Recipient" and "data.Armor" were tables and I forgot the [i] 💀

Sometimes in codding, 99% of mistakes are the dumbest ones

does not entirely work yet actually

[sharp apex]

ohh

[shy mortar]

do any of you have the grid texture for windows

[pliant knot]

@sharp apex yo um

I can't deal with roblox

the code

just don't want

can you help plz

or anyone

[sharp apex]

let me read thru here

[sharp apex]

so when you try to print "(data.Recipient[1])", it tells you that it was expecting a string

however

it receives an instance?

thats

really weird

[pliant knot]

no, the print is just fine

[sharp apex]

o

[pliant knot]

print shows it's a string

but when I try to send a signal, it says it's an instance

ALSO

when I try data.Armor[1].ClassName it returns Nil

[sharp apex]

a signal?

[pliant knot]

yes

an event

[sharp apex]

i dont know whats erroring here since i cant see the actual line numbers

[pliant knot]

oh

lemme send it well

[sharp apex]

so when its trying to print

(game.Workspace.Characters[data.Recipient[1]])

its erroring and saying it expected a string but got an instance

thats weird

[pliant knot]

yeah

and the output says that data.Recipient[1] is NicoOfTheHell

which is a string

unless smth is wrong

[sharp apex]

its an instance in this context, since you're looking for "NicoOfTheHell" in workspace.Characters

but print can print Instances usually
as in names

[pliant knot]

it's supposed to be an instance

btw

[sharp apex]

but i've never seen a Folder.table[1] setup like this

[pliant knot]

yk lemme

send the whole content of data

idk if this helps

[sharp apex]

i kinda have no idea but
maybe try defining recipient?
as in

TestRecipient = Workspace.Characters[data.Recipient[1]]

right before the

for do

loop

and then do print(TestRecipient)

[pliant knot]

wait

you want me to put it in a local?

like

[sharp apex]

yeah

[pliant knot]

oh ok

i'll try that

[sharp apex]

and see if that errors in some way

the basic things i do for debugging is printing and attempting to define locals

printing comes first

[pliant knot]

yeah

print is so usefull

yet here

it is contradictory

ok now it's funny

[sharp apex]

again, i've never used a Folder.table[1] setup but

maybe its because it can't do Folder[variable.table[1]]?

[pliant knot]

I mean it's supposed to be a table inside a table

Hold on

I'm gonna try something

nope

[hoary orchid]

made flags

[sharp apex]

hell yeah

blender or

[hoary orchid]

blender and substance painter

[tranquil otter]

didn't thought that someone would do flags, instead of taking them from toolbox

[hoary orchid]

trying to make it so that almost everything is made by me except the trees and a few materials, made most other custom ones such as the caution stripes and corriguated steel

[hoary orchid]

couches done

[hoary orchid]

finished the last needed models

[worn apex]

curious why you texture other stuff but not the couches

[hoary orchid]

they are textured

i need to make it less subtle

[worn apex]

looks off compared to other texture models kind of

looks like tarp or something to me

try some fabric materials instead

like this for example

[hoary orchid]

yeah much better

[worn apex]

yea

been busy for a bit but new stuff

[civic charm]

that couch looks a bit short

I did it like this

[hoary orchid]

from this angle it looks longer

[civic charm]

boi is the neon guy

[tranquil otter]

I feel myself better, because that work is really similar to mine, and that means I'm similar to a professional builder

[worn apex]

I'm just burnt out from it

Not even trying as hard plus I have to take a break so i might not even finish it in those 2 weeks

Apps just suck compared to real work

[pliant knot]

@sharp apex little update on the situation, I think it's an issue with the admin system

god

we went through a lot

yet unfixed

[sharp apex]

i'm guessing that's adonis, right

[pliant knot]

EXE6

[sharp apex]

if yes, then yeah, good luck

oh

[pliant knot]

btw

data.Armor[1]

type

is fucked up

[pliant knot]

yeah EXE6 is a new admin system

kinda awesome

but probable still have bugs

The fact that enum'ing models return a userdata 💀

[hoary orchid]

agreed

it's a waste if you don't get in

[tranquil otter]

me too honestly

I just don't want to build cargo, and chairs for rcr

as I said, it is a fucking month of work for nothing

the only thing I really increased my building skills

[modern maple]

weird wooden nightmares

[hoary orchid]

sidewalk

one less open-sourced asset

[naive elm]

the rework begins

[fleet bobcat]

ik i'm super late and all to this message, but what are some ways to keep motivation. ima be real, i think i do good dev stuff, then look in here and see that im practically dogshit compared to others.

[fleet bobcat]

Like this for example, i try super hard to get even close to things like this, then get nothing like it, and it decimates any drive i have to do dev things.

[vague shore]

yeah i feel like this a lot whenever i build something, even if its completely original

also btw your builds are REALLY good when compared to mine

[neon obsidian]

i'm not really great with making emphasis or clear points but i suppose to get some understanding

always look back to how far you came, maybe there's something you greatly improve since last time. Maybe you have a trait that other people do not have that makes you unique.

Often time demotivation of seeing other people work may sometimes could perhaps be you are simply overworked, tired, or in a bad mood. A good break to refresh your mind so when you come back, it doesn't put a hinderance on your mind.

I am very optimistic when I'm in a good mood, I like to keep tabs with it, it especially makes me happy when I see other persue their passions like with mines. I will try my best to motivate others (even when some worry I need to focus for myself at times lol)

[civic charm]

I had to deliver my work yesterday cuz I'm so full of school work

[hoary orchid]

wdym

if you're talking about the apps you can work until the deadline on the game

[civic charm]

Yea ik but I had to deliver early cuz I have a ton of school shit to do so I only did the 2 builds

;-;

[hoary orchid]

oh damn

[stoic tapir]

So that's a plus

It's not something to look at negatively

You're still trying new things and pushing yourself

[tranquil otter]

yeah, I thought about that since first part placed

[tranquil otter]

I am not looking at that negatively, I'm just tired, and idk if my nights without sleeping are worth it

like, I still hope I have a chance for being hired

[civic charm]

Jesus not sleeping at night for an SST app is tough 💀
-# I just realized we have matching pfp :3

[worn apex]

genuinely not sure what I'm doing with this one I gotta redo the center

[tranquil otter]

yeah i noticed that ur pfp is same as my friend's, so i have matching with u and my friend

not sleeping for something is ok for me, sometimes i can just do something except sleeping

but never did building instead of sleeping

[civic charm]

Can I see your builds?

[tranquil otter]

u did that so fast

[civic charm]

Bro is speedrunning fr

[worn apex]

eh it's pretty slow

took 2 days for this

[tranquil otter]

(3rd is in progress)

[civic charm]

Thats a long ramp ._.

[tranquil otter]

i was doing dormitories for a whole week (mostly i was just launching studio and flying around doing nothing)

[tranquil otter]

there was no fixes at all

[civic charm]

I suggest you play a bit with the lightning

It might make it look better

[tranquil otter]

yk i rebuilt full dormitories from "done" stage bc of wrong angle

[civic charm]

I had to adjust an entire room cuz I made it twice as long as an accident

[tranquil otter]

like im kinda tired of that all, at least i need to force myself to get it done

[tranquil otter]

and half of rcr too

[civic charm]

This is a bit older version but u get the idea

[tranquil otter]

so i was working for 4 days, other days i was just flying around

[civic charm]

I wish I could work more but I unfortunatly have school

Fuck u school

[worn apex]

idk about you but 4 weeks is too long

[civic charm]

Well yea it is a long time but it did give all of us a lot of time to learn building properly

[tranquil otter]

when i just started, i did rcr in 6 hours, and was really motivated

[tranquil otter]

but now i need a week to do a single build

[worn apex]

it's possible to finish all 3 in a single week

[tranquil otter]

(then fixed some issues for same time)

[civic charm]

Bro, chill, seriously

Go to sleep

[tranquil otter]

maybe it is, im not such proffesional as u sadly

[civic charm]

Touch some grass

[tranquil otter]

sleep? what is it

[worn apex]

I mean if you spend like 2 hours a day on it it's fine

[tranquil otter]

grass? idk wdym

[civic charm]

[tranquil otter]

2 hours??

[worn apex]

yea

[civic charm]

Thats about what I've been doing lately, I started 5 hours and then started a routine

[tranquil otter]

i spent 40 mins on that door (with all fixes)

[civic charm]

Door

[tranquil otter]

doors

[worn apex]

I once spent like 28 hours without breaks on a build and managed to finish it actually

most of it is coming up with designs

[civic charm]

What kind of build

[tranquil otter]

i dont even know how to comment it

[worn apex]

pretty sure it was this one but I don't remember which one exactly, been like 2 years since then though

possibly 3

[tranquil otter]

just imagine how fast will snl come up if akyomia gets hired

[stoic tapir]

We take into account that people have a life and could be busy

[civic charm]

I literally went to take a look at this and oh boi

[worn apex]

I'm just saying it's possible

[stoic tapir]

agreed

[tranquil otter]

this is perfect

[civic charm]

"I AGREE AND UNDERSTAND that SST is not a full time job and that it is NOT important than real life" or sum like that

[civic charm]

Did you say perfect?

[worn apex]

sst over school obviously

cancel all events

[civic charm]

Hell yeah

Exams?

Never heard of those

[worn apex]

sst over exams

[civic charm]

Tests?

STUDY?

Nuh uh

I gotta spend 600 hours to fix a freaking doorknob

[worn apex]

I actually don't have exams like everyone else in my country so I'm free lmao

seems like luck

[civic charm]

Until it looks just like in real life

[civic charm]

I have

Uh

About 10 tests this month

And 2 more the next one

So yea

[worn apex]

tests yea but not exams

[tranquil otter]

honestly, i have nothing to do, ive played every game i had, im not interested on touching grass anymore, the only thing ill do if i get hired, is building and studiyng

[civic charm]

Kill me please

[worn apex]

I have tests every day

[civic charm]

Frrr

SST almost sounds like a real job, exept it isnt :(

NEXT UPDATE, QS INC IRL

🗣️

[tranquil otter]

like now im just reading qsp while laying in my bed, or doing those builds

[civic charm]

Living in the bedroom

Average SST builder

[worn apex]

going through roblox files and I remember being so proud of these but now it's just mid

[tranquil otter]

if i ever pass the tryout, ill only do qdf staff

like

yk

[civic charm]

[tranquil otter]

when i was not banned in pb, i was doing only pb staff

[civic charm]

Bruu

[tranquil otter]

now im trying to get the same in QS

[civic charm]

Qs is way better than pb

[worn apex]

terry still thinks it's the best showcase on the platform lmao

terry is crazy

[civic charm]

Bro

You're the only one

That doesnt think that

So stfu and be proud of that shi

[tranquil otter]

i was proud for my build only once, now i look at this, and i understand, that it is just basic building skills

[civic charm]

Cuz that shi

Is peak

[worn apex]

I mean terry scripted it so ofc he'd glaze it

[tranquil otter]

aky, for how long are u in building?

[worn apex]

https://streamable.com/qq4m3x
https://streamable.com/pl364c

[worn apex]

mmm maybe 8 -10 years

[tranquil otter]

how did u reached this experience, how long did it took

[tranquil otter]

oh

thats kinda

[worn apex]

hard to say

[civic charm]

BRO

[worn apex]

had multiple accounts before this one

[civic charm]

THIS IS NOT FUCKING ROBLOX

THAT'S TITANFALL 2

[worn apex]

doing the vfx was fun though

[tranquil otter]

i remember when i checked ur profile, clicked on a link and was like "man im cooked"

[civic charm]

I entered one of the builds and I was like "who tf is this dude"

[tranquil otter]

i like the thing that those apps brought me back to building

maybe some day ill do some really good project

[civic charm]

I actually never did this much buildinf before

[tranquil otter]

fr

[civic charm]

This is the first time I actually build

And oh boi

From 0 to 5

Out of 1000

[worn apex]

try remaking real games in roblox it's fun and helps creativity atleast for me

[civic charm]

Just remake titanfall 2 at this point

Bloxfall

[tranquil otter]

im good at remaking things, but when i think about my own project...

[worn apex]

titanfall isn't that crazy to me

not a fan of it

[civic charm]

Titanblox

The story was peak

[tranquil otter]

i dont really know what do i want to do

[worn apex]

or try making maps in other engines that helps too

I've been working on a doom eternal map for the past few months https://streamable.com/jdrurc
obviously the models are from the original but coming up with layouts and designs is fun too also gore warning obviously

[tranquil otter]

i worked in unity (was doing models for scp SL server) and it was so painful to optimise like EVERYTHING

every block i placed must be optimised

[tranquil otter]

link is not loading for some reason

[worn apex]

yea no embed perms

you have to click it probably

I have to click on it too

[civic charm]

SST just hire Akyoma, give us an additional spot idk

[tranquil otter]

nah its not working

[worn apex]

mm idk then

I mean it's pending deletion so that might be why

[civic charm]

Works for me

[tranquil otter]

im not even thinking about sst anymore, im just thinking about how fast we'll get public beta with aky and others proffesionals

[worn apex]

ok this might be crazy but I'm staying at home tomorrow so I can work on sst apps

[civic charm]

Cant wait to see SNL fr

[worn apex]

the sst over school thing might be real

[civic charm]

[civic charm]

[tranquil otter]

im sick, so im working instead of school

[tranquil otter]

building is more important yk

[civic charm]

Yk what imma tear apart a limb so I can keep on modelling

[worn apex]

actually by doing sst apps you're saving the world so tell that to your teacher

[civic charm]

"Do you have ibuprofen? My leg hurts a bit" there is no leg

[tranquil otter]

idk why, but im tired, burnt out, and still motivated, i dont know how to explain this feeling

[civic charm]

Wdym

[tranquil otter]

i dont have to though

[tranquil otter]

im staying at home because of my flu

[tranquil otter]

better say "im studying geometry while doing building" this will work 100%, trust me

[worn apex]

since sst is a REAL job if something happens to you at home it's a work accident

[tranquil otter]

so, if i accidentally die while working in devsite, ill be "died because of work accident"

[worn apex]

mm yes

[civic charm]

😭 😭

"I'M GONNA SUE SST"

[tranquil otter]

"died because forgot to anchor parts, PC blew up bc of this, and the explosion is the reason of death"

I just found my first 6 hours of work screenshot

1. first 6 hrs
2. how does it look now
3. the picture from dev apps

[shy mortar]

what looks better, smooth plastic or concrete?

[surreal vine]

concrete

[lusty walrus]

🧱

[fleet bobcat]

from 2 to 3 the only real differences I notice are the screens aren't tilted as much and they're a bit closer, and also the arm things for them are a bit less pronounced, other than that very good

[tranquil otter]

yeah I know about screens, but yk I redid half of this room because I didn't like sizes, and after 2 weeks, I'm kinda tired of building fixes, maybe after I'll complete fixes in dormitories and the cargo bay itself, I'll fix some issues in rcr

[steady apex]

e

[glossy chasm]

Just finished this drawing, was inspired by cyberpunk

[hollow grove]

omg so amazing

[kindred kettle]

wtf good art

Congort

[worn apex]

this isn't coming out good idk why maybe demotivated

[civic charm]

I'm gonna rip your limbs apart if you say that its not good when it is

[worn apex]

it feels empty and weird

I added more stuff and it's a bit better but still mid

[civic charm]

jesus christ...

SST we need another spot cuz jesus christ this dude is crushing this

[worn apex]

forgot that shadows affect beams now which is cool just wanted to say that

[worn apex]

ok edited both

[gilded cedar]

i think the main part about it is the concrete. its (1) empty and (2) just juts out of the snow

the snow decals do help with the Emptiness of the concrete, but not enough. maybe try making the concrete seem like its made from slabs? (whether its parts or decals although i doubt the extra parts would be too bad on performance) (also example below)

[worn apex]

Well it's similar to the original and doing the slabs would make other parts look empty

Ill probably come up with a custom material normal for it

[shy mortar]

How do you get these nice beams around the lights

[tranquil otter]

bro this is amazing 😭

This is so cooolll

[copper marsh]

rare bob post

very WIP

[neon obsidian]

i love it

[copper marsh]

TY!

last time I made a dish I didn't really like the results

I was still new to substance painter

[civic charm]

So cool

[civic charm]

Jesus it's big

[copper marsh]

thanks

yeah it's to scale

I don't have the original reference but it's that big irl

[copper marsh]

mm struts

[civic charm]

How many hours so you have now on blender?

[civic charm]

Jesus christ you sleep with that on

[civic charm]

#🏆┃best-of-qs message
How long ago was this?

[copper marsh]

it was on the same day

I rarely leave it on it's genuine use

[civic charm]

What's your coolest creation yet in your opinion?

[copper marsh]

well problem is I don't really have anything grand to describe as my coolest

kind of why I'm working on non-sst stuff rn

[civic charm]

Cool

[shy mortar]

Never know you could install blender on steam..

[copper marsh]

it's great for automatic updates

the artifacting is cause the camera is too far away for the cavity render to look okay

[verbal bronze]

yeah

[teal loom]

Peak

[verbal bronze]

I'm doing the ENTIRE security room in SL-1, not just the armory, so it'll take me quite a while, but it's worth it to know what it feels like to be in one of those rooms without being QDF.

[teal loom]

You aren't in QDF?

[verbal bronze]

nope

im spanish

i don't undersand english :(

[teal loom]

Sad

[verbal bronze]

For that reason, you will see my Minecraft in Spanish when I make the QDF room video.

[surreal vine]

I want to ask how but I know exactly how

If i was motivated i could make it myself

[copper marsh]

well it's also quite a bit of knowledge and research

[civic charm]

Challenge, Hackintosh vs Bob

[stoic tapir]

Looks to be bloom..?

[stoic tapir]

auhgghfhfhf that support system is gorgeous

[worn apex]

custom particles and beams

[stoic tapir]

ahh

[worn apex]

used them for many things like this

super useful

[ebon bear]

BillboardGui?

[civic charm]

Jesus...

[worn apex]

particles are particles

billboard guis suck at customization

[surreal vine]

no thanks

[civic charm]

Lol

[ebon bear]

Would they use some gear system to move the dish up and down?

[copper marsh]

depends on the dish design but a common thing is to have a circular railing with wheels at the bottom to rotate it with precision

[shy mortar]

You could add the motor which would spin the wheel

[copper marsh]

this is what that part looks like in NRAO's VLA

[pliant knot]

Is this a condensate storage?

[ebon bear]

BWR vessel

[pliant knot]

hm

[ebon bear]

And no this is a side project

No related to F-9

[pliant knot]

Yeah i was wondering what it had to do with F9

[pliant knot]

Oooo

Interesting room

Perhaps a bit too similar to F9

[ebon bear]

But don’t expect this finish

Because we testing new things

From skybox, lighting

[pliant knot]

Little stairs I made

for a game

[civic charm]

This SST app woke up in all of us random building skills

[worn apex]

ok I think this area is finished for now too, I'll add dishes and flags once I get back from vacation probably

[pliant knot]

Yes I keep seeing building stuff here lol

even tho I am just working on a game not for sst apps

But I see people cooking way better than me...

[civic charm]

Go to sleep bruv

[pliant knot]

just like the guy above me

[civic charm]

Fr

That guy is an exception

[pliant knot]

This is the best thing I did so far

[civic charm]

Nice

[pliant knot]

I am mostly proud of the feets lol

[worn apex]

working on some sfx for fun

still far away from being done

[pliant knot]

You are cooking so hard...

[copper marsh]

Working on the personnel parts

left is the pedestal room where the samplers and the amplifier are stored, right is the catwalk that rotates with the dish to access the elevation motors

[surreal vine]

ok this is the part where i ask "how"

[verbal bronze]

the reference / the creation in MC

[surreal vine]

when it comes to large scale assets, i cant do things like steps at a good scale

[copper marsh]

well I kind of have memorized what size things should appropriately be

for example a comfortable staircase has a 2:1 ratio, for X distance you travel horizontally you go up by X/2

in roblox that nicely usually rounds to X=1 stud

these are tight staircases though so 1:1 is still fine for the situation, so I do 0.8x0.8

doors typically are about 5 wide, 7 tall

[static abyss]

I typically do 1.7 x 1 for staircases, but that typically puts builds on fucky grids.

[copper marsh]

passageways I usually like doing 3 studs as centered your arms peek out enough and you still have room for movement

[copper marsh]

the key in staircases for me is to make them adapt to the build, rather than vice versa

this looks fine yes? well the top and bottom steps are taller than the rest

rather than build around what the staircase dictates I build the staircase to approximately fit what I built

[copper marsh]

the difference is literally like 0.15 so it's difficult to spot

[static abyss]

Ykw, well said.

[copper marsh]

just make sure that the build works in a useable manner

this staircase in qserf is a nightmare

[static abyss]

My perfectionist brain is screaming bloody murder. It's so difficult to ignore.

[copper marsh]

the floors were built incorrectly and when I made the staircase by mathematically dividing the height, the steps ended up like this

but even then it doesn't really matter, cause you're building a staircase to adapt to a build, thus its irregularities don't affect anything else

[surreal vine]

im starting to firmly believe that its inevitable for every part in roblox to end up with fucked up measurements

[static abyss]

Fair enough. Special case for special element.

[copper marsh]

it's really not difficult to keep normal measurements, it's just that with old things like qserf we can't

[copper marsh]

these railings were way easier than I expected

[neon obsidian]

railings.... my weakness..,,

stairs,.,,

[fleet bobcat]

quite the opposite for me, ever since they released i've had zero motivation to do anything dev related

[civic charm]

Did you attempt the app at least?

[fleet bobcat]

no, i havent even had motivation to do my own game dev stuff, like no joke, day before the apps released i was good, i was "cooking" in my own terms, and then apps release, nothing

as if all my creativity, just, gone

[civic charm]

Shame :(
