General discussion

[hoary orchid]

damn 🫡

did you not finish the second one

hopefully this isn't too many free models

6 areas
3 from apps
2 from screenshots
1 custom

[tranquil otter]

ive used nearly the same amount, but more decals, and like 3 more models

[civic charm]

40 minutes until the end chat

Good luck to everyone

(I'm not nailing the app for sure lol )

[hoary orchid]

is this your first?

[civic charm]

Yea

[hoary orchid]

my second app

[civic charm]

First time I try a departmental app

[civic charm]

For sst or in general?

[hoary orchid]

sst

[civic charm]

Ever done any other?

Departmental app I mean

[hoary orchid]

yeah

[civic charm]

Which ones

[hoary orchid]

qsoc, qiad, sst(administration), sst(builder), qdf(tryout multiple times)

[civic charm]

Ur a busy one

[hoary orchid]

didn't get into a single one

[civic charm]

Im doing QDF tonight once again lol

(Gonna fail like an idiot :3 )

[hoary orchid]

started on my first non-app model in a while

[civic charm]

Looks cool

A floating lantern?

[hoary orchid]

no, parachute sponsor gift

[kindred kettle]

vdv

no way

[merry stag]

e

[jagged grotto]

Is it some sort of sump pump?

[tranquil otter]

I JUST SUBMITTED THE APP

BRUH ROBLOX 😭

phew, i restored it

i already thought that im cooked

[civic charm]

Crazy

Good luck chat

[static abyss]

It's been wild seeing what y'all have done in the past month. Can't wait to see the results.

[civic charm]

Yea

[civic charm]

(We dont talk about Akyoma, watching his pics breaks my self trust )

[tranquil otter]

made this in 5 hours

[civic charm]

Did u submit on time?

[tranquil otter]

there was 2 minutes left

the only thing i did after the deadline, is updated the desc

[tranquil otter]

3 free models

[civic charm]

Imagine if we join while the viewers are on

Would be funny as hell

[lusty walrus]

I presume the plant

[hoary orchid]

#940262051165634590 message

[tranquil otter]

yeah, i cant do plants

[lusty walrus]

Real

Organics are hard fr

[tranquil otter]

the funny thing, i found cool plants in toolbox, but they were with dangerous script

[lusty walrus]

Just remove the script

[tranquil otter]

i did that

[lusty walrus]

Anti lag script

[tranquil otter]

it was funny to see 12 scripts in a plants pack

[lusty walrus]

Scene looks good though my friend, good job

[tranquil otter]

my friends like my builds, but the cafe is not optimised at all

i was at hurry (bc it was only 5 hrs left) so i was not thinking about optimisation

[lusty walrus]

Optimization shnoptimization

[tranquil otter]

theres like 20 models with subdivision

[lusty walrus]

😨

[tranquil otter]

eg. the cakes

or cups

[lusty walrus]

Prob better than whatever studio AI cooks up in terms of mesh

[tranquil otter]

i did stack of coffee cups using the cups i used as commom cups

[tranquil otter]

never tried AI in studio

[tranquil otter]

looks cool

[lusty walrus]

Another one or gave me was a brick with a camera cap on the front and a camera on the side

[hoary orchid]

ew

[worn apex]

crazy topo

[hoary orchid]

that texture quality is abysmal

[prime flame]

that topology is downright evil

[lusty walrus]

Gave me fear

[hoary orchid]

ai topo is always crazy

[worn apex]

almost done with the small door

gonna post it soon

[hoary orchid]

ai and photogrammetry topo are similer

[worn apex]

except photogrammetry is actually useful

[hoary orchid]

mhm

[lusty walrus]

I have a suspicion as to why it looks like that, but I'm not an AI expert

[sharp apex]

im guessing its cuz AI generates it
instead of building it out of parts

like it literally creates vertices

how else would it look like that

[lusty walrus]

Yeah, from random noise would be my guess

Images come from noise to start with, so I imagine the generator works in a similar way

[sharp apex]

yeah

[worn apex]

probably the best door I've made yet (scripted by asleeporange)

[pastel ember]

Sewer lift station, lifts sewage to a higher level underground

[sharp apex]

guys is this good topology ? I'm new to blender

[hoary orchid]

not trying to be rude but no

reduce segment amount

[sharp apex]

if it wasnt obvious im joking ill actually post the real model soon

[hoary orchid]

i could tell, just making sure

[jagged grotto]

I see

I thought I'd seen them around here too

(I'm in Ohio)

[tranquil otter]

it is not roblox

[sharp apex]

remaking an old union-based model feels good ngl

[warm igloo]

ui quality could be better and well lighting has its problems but mainly this looks like an engine problem

not a you problem

[worn apex]

I use images since it's easier to make plus not as intensive when you have 60 doors on one level

it looks the same when near it

[warm igloo]

this is really nice though

[worn apex]

the big door is gonna have a failure system which is gonna be fun to make too

[warm igloo]

i see 👍 :)

[neon obsidian]

i havent posted stuff here, have a rare post

[tawdry fox]

this is what 2024 me was imagining for MEC

(ignrore the screens and lights being off, debug mode)

this is a HUGE step-up compared to uhh

the old one

[civic charm]

[civic charm]

[nova stump]

Good luck to everyone who applied for SST!

[nova stump]

I really like this!

[civic charm]

Thx :3
(I did not cook enough, freaking a school )

[nova stump]

Where's your builds I wanna see

[civic charm]

My map is public on my roblox profile, and there are a lot of screens in this channel

I'm on phone so I dont have the screens with me

[surreal vine]

i just went through my app and i am so cooked

well

i think we're all focusing too much on the recreations and not much on our own examples

[civic charm]

I didnt have any personal build I just threw in a map old models I made

[surreal vine]

tbf i did the same

just compiled it all into one game

[worn apex]

I had to make everything from scratch cuz the models I made for the 2023 apps were total ass

one of the reasons why I got demotivated after 5 minutes

just noticed this and I can't fix it now

[hasty jungle]

why

decimate that and not the blender modifier kind

[ebon bear]

you think im pass?

real

[civic charm]

[nova stump]

idk

[civic charm]

He didnt even apply

[nova stump]

bruh

[surreal vine]

😭

[hoary orchid]

i just included one of my oldish maps and a showcase of all my assets including my guns

[tranquil otter]

real, i spent 4 weeks, fixed nearly everything (still not every issue), but i made my own example of work in the last 5 hours

but i think that recreations are more important in the app

[civic charm]

They are

Ig

No clue

[tranquil otter]

I think they are crucial because it is showing your future work on snl, like how would u build it if u get hired

[civic charm]

Yea that's true

But also seeing if you have a past as a builder definetly helps

And I dont have that

So yea, my app is cooked

[ebon bear]

i did

no hope

[surreal vine]

i honestly have pivoted to 3d modelling over the last 2-3 years but still have that builder's competence

[civic charm]

Ahh, I thought u straight up gave up

[hoary orchid]

same though I've built occasionally

[surreal vine]

old image but the last "big" thing ive built

[ebon bear]

that's cool

[hoary orchid]

not sure if i went overboard with making like 6 areas

[ebon bear]

this is the biggest area i ever made

[surreal vine]

i cba opening studio or finding old images

[hoary orchid]

god my old app was horrendous

i used the ice texture for windows

[surreal vine]

this was for my port game, v whatever i lost count but

its something that shouldve been made in blender

[worn apex]

airlock door

still wip

forgot but other side

[worn apex]

all 3 airlock cycles

[fresh drift]

working on security camera

only holder to be made left

[civic charm]

How much time do u have on your hands

[worn apex]

it takes only a while

like half an hour max without texturing

[civic charm]

[pearl loom]

I found the CAD for my gcse engineering product

[surreal vine]

i love the direct upload plugin

its fucking mirrored 🥀

i also have my own ways

so what ive done is got a part in studio and extended it from the floor to the top face

exported that to blender

and then i've extended the stairs up to it

so it should, in theory, be seamless

and this is why its in theory

but tbf it may just be the array

nvm

[surreal vine]

it took so much tweaking

are u working on some ur own project?

[surreal vine]

decided the spiral staircase was a waste of time

although gonna keep the blend file, will come in useful

proper before and after

[stoic tapir]

ah this is a recreation of my old collider showcase?

that was wayy back before I even used blender

[fleet bobcat]

Ngl, bideos legit looks like smth you'd find in qserf, the detail is so similar

it's honestly scary

[ebon bear]

Yeah i know

[pastel ember]

hey, i do fire trucks aswell its mostly american stuff though

[civic charm]

Yea but since he's very good at QSERF recreations when SST needs SNL builders he could just become a contractor

@worn apex did u submit ur app? i wanted to play it, but i didnt found it in ur profile

[worn apex]

I rarely put games on my profile

[tranquil otter]

ah, k

anyways can i see it in a real game?

[worn apex]

it's in my favorites

[tranquil otter]

k, thanks

[shell oar]

sir can you please adjust the brightness on your lights

[warm igloo]

doesnt it have to be public

for the submission

or you published on an alt

[naive elm]

putting games on your profile simply means it can easily be accessed from your profile without digging through your intentory

a game may be public without being on your profile

[warm igloo]

oh

ok

[stoic tapir]

I gotta find a way to remove everything from mine

even if it's just for me

Got like 30 old projects on there I wanna get rid of

pain that roblox doesn't just let you delete it

[dusty vault]

i mean, there is the archive feature

closest you'll get

[stoic tapir]

yeahh

but like

delete

trashbin

[dusty vault]

well

i guess something you could do is exercise GDPR rights via support

but that's kinda silly

[sharp apex]

hey guys so new studio update:
CSG lost 25% of it's use case
-# the pings are from the video btw sorry about that

you can't union a single part anymore
it's very likely a bug however

[worn apex]

I thought being able to union a single part was a bug cuz I can't imagine the use case for it

[sharp apex]

making spheres flatter

making cylinders flat on an axis

[worn apex]

I've always used special mesh sphere for that as it doesn't deform the texture

[copper marsh]

honestly yeah ^

I don't recall ever doing that

[naive elm]

I've used it for that reason plenty of times

[hearty yoke]

i got bored last night and made a fully turing complete computer

in scrap mechanic

https://youtu.be/xMao2wjPhJ4
video demonstration
it's a bit buggy and i think some of the wires are missing (dunno where) but it does work

[sleek hatch]

omg scrap mech!!!!!!!!
-# WHAT THE FUCK IS A REGULAR UPDATE SCHEDULE

[spark obsidian]

couldnt you make a duplicate of it and union them both together?

[sharp apex]

double the verts

[worn apex]

keypad

[spark obsidian]

if they are exactly matched they should combine the verts

[somber zenith]

i dont believe that is roblox

my pc is going to fire with these graphics 🔥

[teal loom]

Omg I almost forgot about this game

I had like 500 hours on it at the age of 10 🔥

[teal loom]

This is actually fire, altough for the keypad I'd recommend you add a hovering sound effect and when you click it the border expands and fades away

[naive elm]

hover sound for a touch screen? 😭

[nova stump]

can't wait to see a functional airlock

You're actually so good

[naive elm]

did you ever see my rtx airlock

[nova stump]

nah

[naive elm]

it's not just an "air" lock :3

brb

[naive elm]

here it is

[nova stump]

THAT IS AWESOME

[worn apex]

big door cycle with unfinished failure

[civic charm]

I suggest making the handle's movement more sudden and violent if u get what I mean

A sudden start, then stop and then go all the way

[prime flame]

this is sexy

[tawdry fox]

mmm, larms

ignore the fact im on my phone

im mobile playtesting (i had to eep)

[zinc crane]

Small turbine hall

[lusty walrus]

good shit!

looks great

[zinc crane]

Thanks!!

[lusty walrus]

feels very robloxy while still being detailed

[zinc crane]

Ikr lmao

[lusty walrus]

one thing I am noticing after close looks, the red and white stripe is a bit too detailed compared to the rest of the turbine

its a VERY nit-picky thing though

[zinc crane]

I was planning to add some texture in the adobe substance painter 3d for it but i'm too lazy to do so lmao

[lusty walrus]

the turbine itself?

[zinc crane]

yes

[lusty walrus]

icic

[zinc crane]

Some rust, yk

[lusty walrus]

Personally I'd take the texture off till you do the texture, one or the other. But thats my personal opinion

[lusty walrus]

yeah, some scuffs or impurities could look good too

[zinc crane]

Here's a version outside of the hall

[hearty yoke]

oh that is GOOD
pipe curves look a bit wonky but other than that, peak

Smh

Im not into blender sorry

[kindred kettle]

use blender for the pipes pleach

[lusty walrus]

Ditto

[naive elm]

you haven't seen the Steve ganemode clearly

[hearty yoke]

steve?

[naive elm]

there's a running joke in the game about keeping a specific qsp member in containment

they'd only turn to look at you if they're not in sight

so the game mode is when Steve breaks out of containment

I don't have any videos

[civic charm]

Welp, congratulations to the new sst members
(I did not cook )

[hoary orchid]

damn, good job yall

i probably got denied to background check or my builds weren't great

i just wish i got feedback

https://www.roblox.com/games/9985657603/Untitled-Pinewood-Project https://www.roblox.com/games/81953720520352/john-quantum-science feel free to explore mine for the time being

[naive elm]

super satisfying to see

[civic charm]

same :(

[teal loom]

got denied a position at paragon because some fuck scammed me

to not start genre drama or some bs

either way here's a cool pic with an even cooler watermark

[sharp apex]

holy peak

[plain silo]

why would you willingly work in paragon wtf

[teal loom]

why not

[plain silo]

They gave one of my buddies an ultimatum to pick between Artemis (another 80s SCPF) and Paragon, rightfully so he picked Artemis, called them out for their bs approach to the situation and got banned for it

And in general something feels really off about that place, I know this is a bold statement but it feels like it's gonna turn into a p3do hotspot.

[teal loom]

i knew ellusive worked for para and he told me he's getting paid

thats fucking crazy

[teal loom]

my friend allededgly got touched by a paragoinian furry

[zinc crane]

I realized i forgot to send my app LOL

[plain silo]

Nah it was Helg, he was O5-12 as far as my memory goes

[teal loom]

friend's name is mech4x, does that ring any bells

afaik

[plain silo]

Not at all, didn't really interact with Paragon

Yea

oh no

i love the optimization on that! keep it up!!

[plain silo]

why video no play

[zinc crane]

Thank you!

[mint girder]

is that second clip still roblox or nah

[naive elm]

no

[mint girder]

figured

either way very epic

[pliant knot]

nice textures usages, did you find them?

[teal loom]

I think you meant materials haha

[pliant knot]

Yeah I mean material textures

since these looks PBR

don't think these are provided by roblox lol

[teal loom]

Because textures have to do with UVs, while materials are applied on models and parts :D

[teal loom]

They're from ambientcg

I highly recommend that website

[pliant knot]

Nice

Yeah i'm really bad with textures

Can't find proper PBR textures

[naive elm]

cleanroom doors now work

however the sequence has yet to be done

[hoary orchid]

last post ill do of this, but here's my sst app i submitted, sadly i didn't get in
here's some insparation for anyone applying in the future or making their own rc's

(keep in mind i will not be doing apps for sst/qbc if rounds open next time)

(i also will not be giving any of this out as i have debranded it and used it for other projects)

[lusty walrus]

[prime flame]

I will make a VERY bold guess

either GRC or base tools

[hoary orchid]

[hearty yoke]

basetools dipped from sci fi stuff, and I don't think astra would be too keen on using snl stuff in grc.

so, probably not

[hoary orchid]

it's not really snl stuff

most of this is general use

such as the flags, mugs, water coolers, vending machines, trucks, pens, moniters

all stuff you'd find anywhere

random ass showcase model

[hoary orchid]

it's just that qbc is soon so my skills would still be terrible and sst is too far

[warm igloo]

you should have passed ngl

[civic charm]

I could be a set developer if that position will be offered.
(I am NOT a good voice actor )

[hoary orchid]

thanks

im now going to look for other opportunities

[warm igloo]

like what

[oblique breach]

You’ll find out but you won’t need to apply with your specialized skills initially for QBC, that goes for everyone to get in.

[hoary orchid]

fair, i just mean i couldn't get into a specialized skill

[jagged grotto]

I think you would be one of our best builders if you applied

You make amazing things

[hoary orchid]

i might apply then honestly

[worn apex]

I should apply for qbc 🥺

Though agreed

[tawdry fox]

please do youre so damn talented

roblox tweaking lately

[fleet bobcat]

Thats really good, keep up the good work

[pastel ember]

Thanks, didn't really inspire it off of anything

Just threw stuff together

[naive elm]

new event lib, better than my old one

compresses almost everything into a buffer too

[naive elm]

[naive elm]

@burnt salmon the network library has been redone

something i did was network compression

if you analyse the raw arguments im sending over the network it's just a string and a buffer

for example this

[naive elm]

results in this

[this](#1101168449855684678 message) image i posted earlier describes the schema i made for the binary format

here's the (still wip) source if you wanna read it

there's also documentation for it

[pallid flint]

[pallid flint]

Why you need custom event handler

[naive elm]

i dont

[naive elm]

now that im doing my docs again i added embeds

https://docs.realsgii2.dev/modules/usignal

they used to have the generic one

[burnt salmon]

3rd time LMFAO

But nice work

[naive elm]

OKAY I lost the second one

I never actually saved it

so this is actual v2

😭

[naive elm]

responsiveness

[stark dune]

Felt like making a blast door today, the crane is untextured and the arms are way too small for the door but whatever

[sharp apex]

peak
did you use tweens or regular animations?

[naive elm]

the fact the hinges are so small makes them seem unmotorised which in turn breaks the illusion

[lusty walrus]

That and the door rotated a bit fast considering the sheer size and heft of it

[sharp apex]

nvm the slight shaking makes me think it's physics

[worn apex]

I like the idea

[raw epoch]

hopefully i have embed perms but here we go. i made my first unity project and oh man is it cool and way better than roblox studio. not gonna explain what the game is. you can probably guess though. a lot of audio (sound effects) are missing for some reason.
https://youtu.be/lClgjmKadMc?si=vwUAjPs8gRTqsEvg

yep no embed perms

[naive elm]

https://youtu.be/lClgjmKadMc?si=vwUAjPs8gRTqsEvg

[stark dune]

Prismatic constraints and hinges

[fleet bobcat]

right

or well

hmmmm

both are pretty good overall, but sometimes one will be better than the other

[lusty walrus]

Left imo

[teal loom]

Experimenting with stuff

[raw epoch]

Thank you

[naive elm]

what's your reasoning

I would really like to keep the left version so im trying to see how it could be improved

reason being it's closer to this

[naive elm]

@jagged grotto hello audio man do you happen to know anything about reverb? im trying to replicate this specific soundscape. the properties i have are below (they're the new API so they're different from what you may know). if needed, I can create a wet signal too using any of the other audio effects

i feel like it's a frequency issue but i dont know that much about audio post processing

[jagged grotto]

I'd say there's more lower frequencies in your version (so wet), so I would recommend turning the wet down a little bit and maybe ever so slightly turn up the dry? And then a little tiny bit more reverb might help (if you're using a reverbEffect that is)

[naive elm]

its the new API so the instance is just called AudioReverb

ill try though'

[jagged grotto]

Can you send me a screenshot of the properties tab?

[naive elm]

it's in the message

[jagged grotto]

Oh

[jagged grotto]

Try turning the decay ratio to 5, the density to to .8 or .75, diffusion to .9, and wet level to -6

[naive elm]

decay ratio has to be 0.1-1

[jagged grotto]

Oh

[jagged grotto]

Hmm sounds like it sounded better before

[naive elm]

kinda yeah

[jagged grotto]

I am at school rn so I can't help very well so maybe after I get home?

[naive elm]

sure

[fresh rampart]

trying to make a blast door, should I keep the cables or make them wider / thicker

on the right

[jagged grotto]

im home

[naive elm]

awesome

[jagged grotto]

so I still have the old sound system how did you get the new one?

is it in the betas menu?

[naive elm]

yes

[jagged grotto]

this?

[naive elm]

no

hold on

okay it's in prod now

[jagged grotto]

oh so I need to update

[naive elm]

lemme send you a sample

no you dont

its just named differently

[jagged grotto]

oh

okay I'll turn on the acoustic simulation

[naive elm]

dont

itll ruin everything

[jagged grotto]

ok

[naive elm]

it's really bad rn

[jagged grotto]

probably should've expected that

ah here's the stuff

[naive elm]

here's a minimal setup

[jagged grotto]

okay thanks

[naive elm]

place the whole thing in a part

then enable IsPlaying in the AudioPlayer

[jagged grotto]

oh dear

[naive elm]

whar?

[jagged grotto]

something is tweaking

I think roblox might've just went down

[naive elm]

perhaps

[jagged grotto]

yeah I think it did

bruhment

ill try restarting

okay studio is working now but I don't have access to the audio (i think) cause it isn't playing

or wait

[naive elm]

unfortunate

i was in the process of fetching the door audio itself for you

[jagged grotto]

when I check isplaying it turns on for a moment and then off, so it seems like it SHOULD play when I check that box

well

I put in a different assetid and that isn't audible either

[naive elm]

and if you want the specific sections for playback regions

[jagged grotto]

okay thanks

[naive elm]

👍

[jagged grotto]

just need to figure out why it isn't playing the sound

it's an issue on my end

[naive elm]

maybe

check the wires

[jagged grotto]

AudioPlayer -> AudioReverb -> AudioEmitter

[naive elm]

hmm

is it in a part?

[jagged grotto]

oh

im stupid

still nothing

it's in a part now

let me try restarting my pc

[naive elm]

ok lemme see if it works on my end

[naive elm]

likely isnt the issue

the new api is janky

it works for me

[jagged grotto]

I have a lot of virtual audio tools installed on my pc so I tend to have issues with certian programs not making sound anyway

[jagged grotto]

LOL

yeah still not working.. I'll reinstall studio

[naive elm]

you're playing the game right

[jagged grotto]

oh no, I figured you didn't have to since the playing behavior seemed to work without running

[naive elm]

it doesnt

you have to play it in testing

however changes to the effect work in real time

[jagged grotto]

now it's working

thank you

[naive elm]

awesome

[jagged grotto]

ill have to come back to it later cause roblox doesn't wanna approve the audio within a timely manner

[naive elm]

cringe

[naive elm]

old elevator i made

[kindred kettle]

I feel like I remember that

[naive elm]

beagle, cleric, and i were all part of it

[kindred kettle]

didn't it have 10 zillion welds

[prime flame]

you mean the same beagle from like

qqc?

(beaglejonas)

[naive elm]

yes, we were all staff of a now gone community (berezaa games community)

[naive elm]

yes

[kindred kettle]

omg I remember

[tawdry fox]

you should remake that for fun

id like to see it just remastered out of spite

[crystal grail]

trying to make a lobby

uuhhhh

[plain silo]

yeah

looks cool though

[naive elm]

[crystal grail]

no reason at all but does anyone have any suggestions how id place the control room on this thingymabob

[plain silo]

Quick door I whipped up (still a wip)

[plain silo]

jesus fucking christ they butchered my boy

I have no idea what could be wrong for this to happen the model is relatively low tris (1.6k) and the normals are fine

ok nvm just had to import each mesh one by one

[mint girder]

Holy shit

[warm igloo]

do you use .fbx

[plain silo]

yes why

[neon obsidian]

considering this may happen because the entire mesh itself has more than 10,000 triangles (so roblox would automatically try to decimate it)

[plain silo]

That's the thing it doesn't

It's like 1.6k

[neon obsidian]

interesting

.fbx files are okay, i dont think that would be the vector of issue

do double check the triangle counts since that is probably the only reason i can think why the mesh can look like that
THOUGH since you got it through then it shouldn't be a issue

that just my assumption of how that could happen

[neon obsidian]

i see, very odd then

[plain silo]

Yeah as I said I imported each model individually and it went through fine

This is not the first time I have this kind of problem so I figured what I should try

[neon obsidian]

well if it works it works

i never came across that issue before so i was suprised

[burnt salmon]

Yep

[civic torrent]

What do you guys do to get ideas on stuff to build or help better your skills.

I'm at a point where luckily im not demotivated but I have absolutely no clue on what I could do

[naive elm]

look at things in your environment

if you like building small models, look at something around you you can model

i turned a thermostat into an older looking key card reader for example

if you like buildings

google architectural references

i also like to recreate things from other games and sometimes put my own twist on it

[teal loom]

The stuff I build is niche but I try looking at other games for inspiration

[tawdry fox]

I just look at other games for inspiration, or other generic irl things

for example, i take alot of inspiration from garteon tech for my game NPS, and some insp from SNL and Nyx Antimatter Complex New Era for my 2025/Modern building style, which hopefully alot of you guys will see in a few months.

[civic torrent]

Electrical Insulator any feedback?

[outer holly]

how do you make a ParticleEmitter only emit the particles from the center of the part it's parented to

[halcyon oak]

So you want to fucking know how to fucking emit fucking particles from the center of the fucking part?

[outer holly]

woah pal

chill your horses

what now

[halcyon oak]

Insert a fucking attachment under the part you want to fucking emit your fuckass particles from

[outer holly]

can you not

[coral hull]

did not need to be that extra

[halcyon oak]

then fucking drag that motherfucker under the attachment

[coral hull]

just tell him normally

[outer holly]

buddy have some common sense

[halcyon oak]

Hey you're the one who didn't know how to fucking use a ParticleEmitter

[outer holly]

and you're the one being an asshole

i'd reccomend you dont talk like that

[halcyon oak]

I'm not being a fucking asshole I'm fucking showing you how to fucking use fucking particles

[coral hull]

just explain it like a normal person your making this weird

and just unnecessary

[outer holly]

"fuck" counter: 16 times

dude

that's Not healthy

[halcyon oak]

The word fuck has been said 136,368 times since Februrary of 2022, that's a lot

but it's an issue now, when you can create one from fucking nothing

You no longer get your fucking information

[outer holly]

it's hilarious how you've said "fuck" more times in 8 messages than i have in this server period

[coral hull]

@dense steppe hi please read conversation

[outer holly]

thanks AJ

was gonna put it in qcod but also works

[halcyon oak]

absolutely out fucking rageosu

[outer holly]

you're digging yourself deeper

i would stop

[dense steppe]

hi yes pls shush

i know its probably satire but yeah its a bit weird for this channel

[halcyon oak]

Salutations

[outer holly]

even if it is satire it's not funny man..

[halcyon oak]

You have my word sergeant

[dense steppe]

thanks gang

[outer holly]

taff

[dense steppe]

hello

[outer holly]

do you know this info

[halcyon oak]

Peace out girl ✨

[outer holly]

whil you're here

[dense steppe]

yes attachments

[halcyon oak]

.;..;.. .make an attachmen tunder a basepart and jjfffwf add the particle under that attachment

[dense steppe]

add attachment to part
link particle emitter to attachment
reposition attachment to center and aim it down

[outer holly]

how do i link it

i dont usually work with stuff like this i just make things lol

[neon obsidian]

Parent the particle inside the attachment i think

[halcyon oak]

You drag the doohickey (particle) under the new attachment

[outer holly]

works, thanks

[tawdry fox]

speaking of attachments

if you need to light up something like a logo with spotlights, you can optimise and focus the lights with a attachment aswell

as such

[neon obsidian]

very useful for not only ambient lighting but as well to light up ceilings

[tawdry fox]

virtualite taught me this one yesterday

[civic torrent]

yes like the light emitted from a ceiling lamp

[tawdry fox]

*also did some room ambient lighting in the new realistic light settings, however done with transparent parts for effectiveness

[lusty walrus]

I <3 attachments

makes it possible to fake realistic lighting

[sharp apex]

lights on spotlights have less customizability tho tbh

i dont use them much

they're very good for "realistic" lighting tho tbh

[lusty walrus]

How?

Id think point lights have the least customization

[sharp apex]

wait wtf

im dysl

uhh

[sharp apex]

i meant attachments

i was thinking "lights on attachments become spotlights"
so my brain just blurted out that

[lusty walrus]

Ab

I use attachments a lot

Because it can help fix lighting bugs that might pop up

[civic torrent]

If its still not fixed last i remember attachments and point lights are NOT great fans with each other

or was it surface lights

one of them causes a weird thing to happen probably because of how the attachment is a circle or smthing

[sharp apex]

yeah they get set to spotlight

you cant use a surfacelight since... theres no surface

[dusty vault]

unless they inherited the part surface

[sharp apex]

oh?

[dusty vault]

just suggesting a possibility of how it could work

though realistically they wouldn’t do that

[sharp apex]

o
yeah but unsure how that could be managed

[sharp apex]

yeah lol

[kindred kettle]

wip

[dense steppe]

woo

[civic torrent]

Technically you could make a 0.1 by 0.1 by 0.1 stud part

To be an “attachment”

(No collision or anything) but atp just use attachment

[civic torrent]

Is there really a way to make optimized or performant wires in roblox?

or is the only way like a 6 sided cylinder and blender

[teal loom]

Rope constraints

[civic torrent]

I mean like electrical power lines

[teal loom]

Yes

Make the constraints visible

[quartz olive]

moonsuit

moon fox.

[stoic tapir]

stunning
they look like the plants from beyond the dark

[teal loom]

They're from roblox, since I can't model organic

The open source shit

[stoic tapir]

still nice nonetheless

[teal loom]

Thank you, quite an achievement to be complimented by an SST lol

[kindred kettle]

looks nice but putting the roblox logo makes it look like you are doing a bunch of self glaze

[sharp apex]

its a watermark

aint hurting much

[neon obsidian]

im unsure if this is of your interests but there is a plugin i use to make ropes that i suppose is optimized? (which is instead made out of parts, so kinda like just a collection of parts to shape like a rope that you can just click from one area to another and set the amount of parts, in this case i set it to 5 so it kinda look sharp)
Since its also made out of parts, you can change its color and materials

its not a full blown mesh or constraint like the one inside roblox by default but its really great if you want to make a quick rope for your scenes
the plugin in question is Oozle Draw Modified by Quenty

[sharp apex]

or just use blender

[neon obsidian]

that too but i understand if some people don't know blender or not experienced with it
i even to this day havent figure out how to properly make a good looking wire or rope for a scene (i know how to model a very basic one, just unsure how to predict it or plan it to fit well in some of the scene for my games)

unless if its a basic linear wire and nothing too fancy (i.e, curves, physically "interacting" with objects like resting on stuff)

[naive elm]

something I'm doing with my game is posing

take a long cylinder, slice it, and put a crap ton of bones in it

then just pose it in studio

[neon obsidian]

yknow... that's actually clever

i didn't even realize about using bones for those stuff

[naive elm]

yeah

it's so good for cables

[lusty walrus]

...you're a fucking genius

[naive elm]

thank you

[teal loom]

It's meant to look professional 😭

[gilded cedar]

@civic torrent you could consider using ropemaster. its pretty flexible and lets you have textured ropes of different thickness, shapes, and quality

unfortunately its no longer maintained and your presets dont save, but theres probably a fork somewhere

[neon obsidian]

true :))

[teal loom]

uhhhhh, no

just no

i mean it looks good

but its terrible for optimization

[dusty vault]

feel free to tag along with these posts!! c:

Guess who? It's the US Moon Marines! join today!. idk some retro futuristic 80s thing.

[gilded cedar]

doesnt seem that laggy
we use them a lot in a game and it runs fine

it works similarily to oozle draw except with meshes and decals

[worn apex]

ropemaster is better than actual roblox ropes, go into wireframe and you'll see why

also it has customization

[kindred kettle]

imo rope constraints are way more customizable

[worn apex]

I disagree but you do you

Here you can customise the curve itself too

And type

You can also wrap ropes around objects

[teal loom]

Wait, really?

That's cool

Don't like the slider thingy, as optimal values are 1.1-1.025, where with constraints they r a whole num

Hallway design concept for a game, feedback is more than welcome

[pliant knot]

nice lighting

[ashen star]

I need some help with deciding what to put in here and decorate with

[naive elm]

code leek

we desperately need to reorganise the network file

it's just a bunch of random events with no inherent order

the system was designed to group them too and we don't even do that

[pliant knot]

never understood the things like "player : Player / door: Model"

[naive elm]

those are type annotations
by default, those arguments have no type and as such don't list anything in autocomplete
by telling studio what type they are, I can get full autocomplete for those variables

[jagged vessel]

looks cool im just not really a fan of the floor texture mixed with that

i'd go for more of like a concrete slab lookin thing

or concrete tiles

[plain silo]

they are concrete tiles

so I presume they dont look concrete enough

I feel like it's the roughness making it look not concrete, I should tune that down

[jagged vessel]

spot the odd one out

[neon obsidian]

ground of sounds

[lusty walrus]

Ground sound

[naive elm]

yup!

was pulling hair out wondering why the ground material wasn't working

[lusty walrus]

Why are you defining the sounds like this?

Why the fuck is my name rpg-7

[naive elm]

tomorrow at 12

anyway

[lusty walrus]

LMAO

[naive elm]

the footstep system in this game is super complex

we have four movement states (prone, crouch, walk, sprint)

all of these have their own "sweetener" sounds

then all of them have their own sounds for all materials we use in the game

and to make it even more complex

all of those sounds have both an air and underwater variant

[lusty walrus]

Icic

[naive elm]

oh even worse

we can define reverbs for those sounds too

[lusty walrus]

500 reverb

[naive elm]

so one "sound" can actually have any multiple of 16 variants

[lusty walrus]

Oh, waiter! 4096 sound variations please!

[naive elm]

literally

we currently have 3 custom reverbs defined

i dont think any more will be added

well actually one might be

it's called Hall

[naive elm]

but yeah if you play the game you can tell there's a huge variety in the footstep sounds

i can record

footstep sound demo

shitty lighting cause we're in middle of building so we need to s e e

[lusty walrus]

Attach a part to the camera, an attachment to the part, and then a spotlight to the attachment

Shrimple

[naive elm]

[lusty walrus]

^ legit how my camera light plugin works

[naive elm]

normal lighting

lockdown lighting

[naive elm]

you see i have this fancy plugin here

if i really want to i can do "all" lighting

most useful plugin i've made

[naive elm]

the particle emitter's size is very small

i thought it was really clever what i did

underwater effects are coming along well

[lusty walrus]

Ominous

[naive elm]

indeed

quite a cool sight in game tho

[naive elm]

@neon obsidian @lusty walrus bone based cable in action

[naive elm]

cabling done

[neon obsidian]

i see, nice

[pastel ember]

what plugin is that?

[naive elm]

native to Roblox studio

[pastel ember]

oh wait what?

[naive elm]

you need to have a boned mesh for it to work

import it using Import 3D and then you can move its bones

[pastel ember]

oh that will make doing cable's and conduit much easier

[naive elm]

yeah

[lusty walrus]

Gadzooks, I NEED to learn how to do that

Too bad blender is scary 😨

[kindred kettle]

wouldn't this be laggy or is there simply just be alot of bones and not bones inside bones

[kindred kettle]

it's not that bad

just like add a bone for each loop cut in a wire then like. Hello automatic weights (should just work

[naive elm]

doesn't appear to be laggy

[kindred kettle]

interesting

it still probably would be good practice to like

convert to mesh at the end

[neon obsidian]

im going to try this bone mesh method later today

i remember the last time i did it was making a dollar bill with bones to bent it around LOL

[naive elm]

😭

[neon obsidian]

1 dolar

[naive elm]

I wish we could bake lighting

[neon obsidian]

WAIT sgii2 okay, is it okay i can go to your dms rq

[naive elm]

ofc

[tawdry fox]

wee hee hee

[civic charm]

I'm going to make a game where you're a blind spy and have to go through different missions :)

[copper marsh]

that is really cool!

[lusty walrus]

Really smart use of highlights

[civic charm]

I made a blender sphere with inside normals and welded it to the HRP, the game will be singleplayer anyways since it's a story game about a supertrained spy

Also for the sake of my brain I just made a script to make every part in the workspace highlighted so I can build like a normal person

[dawn mantle]

lmao

so its literally just an inverted sphere with a highlight i assume, im gonna have to try that later

[civic charm]

No, the sphere doesnt have highlight

But now that you mention it

I might be stupid

But probably not

Yea no it doesnt work

Orrr

Wait

[dawn mantle]

guh

[civic charm]

It has a small difference

I made everything else highlighted

But if I highlight only the sphere

Then the corners near the player arent visible

[dawn mantle]

interesting but makes sense

[civic charm]

first one is everything else highlighted, the second one only the sphere

maybe I could do both

thats so much better

[dawn mantle]

lol

[civic charm]

peak

[dawn mantle]

reel

[civic charm]

:)

[kindred kettle]

wip

[naive elm]

really interesting

one of the enemies in my game is blind

this sparks some ideas for multiplayer...

[civic charm]

In my game every noise will create a highlight around the object / enemy making noise, giving the player their position through walls and obstacles

Also there will be a skill tree to make the sphere bigger and the hearing range larger

[teal loom]

apart from rope constraints which i learned are unoptimized, whats the best way to make ropes in studio? (i made rope models in blender but i want them to be customizable instead of having to import my whole map and make wires)

[neon obsidian]

^ you can do something like SGII2 made

by turning your mesh rope into a deformable rig with bones

[teal loom]

wouldnt i need to animate it and make the rig play an animation?

itd also be hard to work w

[dense steppe]

boneless cables

[civic torrent]

I dont think so?

I know in moon animator you can freeze the character your animating at a certain frame, aka pose them, and i think you should be able to do the same with the rope.

[naive elm]

no, you can just modify the bones without an animation editor

you can also use studio's export feature to bake the pose to save resources afaik

[north herald]

does anybody know how I can fix this? It´s only on this game with this account

[naive elm]

@steady apex this was your issue wasn't it?

[naive elm]

check your betas

Kaden fixed it by disabling the type solver beta

if that doesn't work, try seeing if the output has anything useful

[north herald]

Disabled it and the output wasn't useful.....
