clanker 
Wtf were quests bro
I didn't see any of that shit until now
God this sucked ass
What a waste of money

skill issue
they literally had timers on them too, how u miss them

Because the site sucked ass
user error = this sucked ass 
i think its a you problem ngl
how did it suck bro what
dude u cant say it was a waste of money, when there was literally a pop up everytime when there was a new quest
what are u saying bro
u are not the only one bro and u didnt even needed ref to get BP
Me when I get mad at something people aren't required to do
oh no
+5000 points for you
did you use somone's referral link?
dont act like u payed 200 dollars for this event, it was 5, chill a bit dude
I wanted that red paint 😭
well, you wouldnt even need any referals or quests to get that
shouldve done quests + placed pickems too then

I only missed a few of them
in this chat, people who know cs shared knowledge
and pretty much every pick was right

W chat 
did u even pick winners bro

diamond paint
No I picked more than that. But I did miss the final 500 😭
I might be clinically blind
dont say that the event was bad and the website sucked ass, when its literally your fault
i mean, it was 1 scroll down
I know I'm just sad
go again next time 🌝
pretty big
true

I really don't remember seeing any popups
I also picked psp as my streamer and I think that fucked me cause he didn't get the pass which means I lost out on points there too
that was only 100 points
that was only 100 points
Ah
and there was a pop up brosky
👨🦯
Shit happens, next time u'll get em 
yup
I'll try harder next time
this discord channel is the place to be for next year, everyone helping each other out
i got cs gold <3
i wouldve never gotten that many points if i weren't in here
same
agree with this comment
relax broski
gone forever 

taking advice from this discord channel will lose you 500 points from the final pick 
btw does anyone know the reason why black pearl paint only shows up on chrome and not on firefox or brave browser?
im just asking 
still got 5000 points with the advice tho
this dc gives advice, u dont have to take it 
im aware, i was just memeing

wish there was a silver tier this year 😭 would've loved the silver badge :p but hey! at least we got the 3125 points
life could be worse
i gave advice to pick Dima in final 🙁
if duwap didnt throw the last match 
+1
wanted the silver
idk why it wasnt included 
Can someone help me? I achieved this, but I only got paints (CS2 Event Viewer (2h) and CS2 Ruby Predictor
u had diamond from before?
i think now only badges remain
i just got my diamond 
i got diamond just now

😄

WW

Ah, I understand now thanks for the help!






glorp waiting

W 7tv staff for paying it out so quick
W

thanks for the great event 🙏
yes
#paint-discussions great week
thx for event 7tv
thx for event 7tv
very good event! thanks 7tv
^
W staff indeed
WWW
so i wanna ask if i can change my choice.. i chose the black paint badge and paint, but now i regret.. i rather wanna the Platin Badge/Paint. do i have a chance to swap that?
Probably not. I regret my choice too, but it is what it is. Black Pearl looked better in the website preview vs how it shows in chat, especially when using Chatterino
Back to using Domos 2024 
WW mods.
Got my cosmetics already
yeah i wanted to get diamond since i didnt get it last event but already have winter paint and they looks pretty similar so i chose the black pearl instead, but on twitch darkmode cant really see much eventually i went back to using winter paint
one reason i went with diamond
happy to finally be united with my diamond predictor badge and paint
Diamond one sucks tho
The paint is beautiful, literally one of the only paints i’ve ever wanted badly
enchanted glint and enchanted netherite looks better ngl lol
Wdym
Oh
beautiful
Yea it does
im a bit blue & purple fan
not anymore

black pearl badge looks lidl version of enchanted glint
Yea
I requested to change, probably won’t let me
gold > ruby
diamond >> BP
I have a question why I got the CS2 dia badge and also the color when I got 3200 points in event?
What do you want changed? and whats your 7tv id or twitch username
You selected a preference of diamond instead of the default black pearl
it's either diamond or bp, not both 
W 7tv team btw
What do you want changed? Whats your 7tv id or twitch username
I chose diamond because I didn't have the opportunity to choose pearl..
yeah default was pearl tell me what you want changed for each tier and your 7tv id or twitch username
Disagree on ruby
pearl was default chioce
@thin meteor is it still possible to change it? Here this is my profile https://7tv.app/users/01HB75QXM0000EY75ATHMFD0VG
I made a request in #1432760524063641610 as I thought nobody would read in here. ❤️
Oh, I didn't know that...my mistake
I chose Black Pearl badge/paint but would rather diamond now after seeing how it looks in chat. I understand if the choice is final, I don’t want to be a bother. My 7tv is https://7tv.app/users/01J58WJHMR0003FEN695DKPCW7 
Diamond badge and paint instead? is that all?
Yes please 
Oh hi jayme

I would like to change from Blackpearl Badge/Paint to Diamond Badge/Paint, thx @thin meteor ❤️ https://7tv.app/users/01FY7DTN000005NQQFR8W3YVBQ

@thin meteor i regret my choice.. i chose the Black Pearl Badge and Paint. But now, i rather wanna have the CS2 Diamond Badge and Paint. My Twitch name is faithlux. so please change it.
Read the pins

already does
ill edit yours
why are so many people switching to diamond
I dont know bro 💀
Many don't like the look/visibility on dark mode
diamond is more vibrant and brighter

u have cs2 gold..
this is the alternate to ruby
u choose cs2 gold instead of ruby default
hahah wtf
is so bruder
pls change this ...
du musst in #1432769102144868414 schreiben
ok danke
is there a chance, i can get this two paints somehow?
what is "kira is typing..." tho? 
a paint 
lemme get a badge kira
ill destroy you

btw I have another question then
why are there letters behind some paints and what do they mean?
acronym for the person who made the paint
ohhh
oA for my goat astria

Guys, can I submit a second request to change the paint? In the first one, I wrote about changing Black Pearl Paint to CS2 Diamond Paint, but now I've come to the conclusion that CS2 Ruby Predictor also blends too much with the black. I want to change it to CS Gold Paint. How should I format this so that both paints are changed?
one of us now
what
oh i requested change
LFMAO
yes just submit another one in there
@charred crag damn.. will it ever be purchasable? i need Prismatic and Wisteria Paint
Maybe in the future
Rotating paint shop + battle pass soon™ 
cases, hell yeah
just noticed the old and new diamond display different
i like that
cuz i prefer it say CS2
I assume it's to prevent duplicates for ones that chose but already have
and maybe merged after changes?
if they merge pls keep the cs2 diamond name 

they changed CS2 Gold to CS Gold now

that's the paint
what about black pearl 


That Twitchcon paint is very good
the rotterdam one is soo good
@steel dome u have ruby paint and badge?
San Diego better match with diamond badge imo
yeah
but yes both are very good paints
blackpearl overrated, the normie 
Where merge channel I can’t see it
Oh ok ty
@toxic harness I mean like the rewards changer
Oh Alr ty
the ruby paint is pretty tho
def don't regret choosing diamond paint
should i switch to diamond paint?
first time i've seen the bronze badge 
looks cool ngl 
is it really hard to see ppl's names with the blackpearl paint?
or yall just dont like it on dark mode?
I haven't had a chance to see myself
its not that bad ngl

blackpearl hate is propaganda from blackpearl enthusiast in order to keep the paint non mainstream

I like it
would you choose blackpearl or diamond

geeez bro
yall shoulda made them keep pearl
now everyone wanna come to the winning team
Has all the paints and badges from pickems been distributed?
Do I need to sub to see them?
Yeah
can I trade all 500 of my paints for the cs gold
Ok thank you

let me ask the boss 
boss approved 

@gray mulch wants to give all of his pick'em paints away also
if you can approve that one
he already signed a deal
heard it was insta approved

i cant read any of the paints
so
I heard we can trade 25 referrals for doppler phase 2 

thought i saw u in cs for a sec 

wtf
suggestion for next pickem : paint for people who has a perfect prediction, it will be hard but also a rare paint 
I don't think anyone had a perfect pickem this time
Why suggest something that you or anyone else will never get
Why do we need more rare paints its already hard to get other paints 
85 people using paint, 5 people who own it... Math checks out.
Maybe some people are renting it



No happy dancing/singing chicken nugget (forsen) in chat rule #82827
You better go touch that grass
got my black pearl paint + badge, love it!
what a fun event, thanks again to all the people who worked on it
and the community for the helps with the picks + my refs 😄
Next year I'm aiming for 25 refs with the help of Kira 


Hope to see you back for the next one
@charred crag ty for your hard work 
march-april
we'll be there
what's happening then?
skull badge kinda fits with bp
i using it with the twitchcon 10 default badge
Have they changed it? I’m not at a pc
yes
People will be wanting it now and regretting swapping for diamond 😂
They made Ruby brighter as well
They look a lot better now, thats awesome!
I think they should remove the dark shadow for Paradise Potion as well
that one still looks the same
I’m saying they should improve it as well
Yes it’s hard to read imo
happens cause of this gap
same thing with the twitchcon paint
because its the same thing, just recolored
I think Twitchcon San Diego 2025 is okay
I think it looks better on native 7tv because it has the glow
as for chatterino, that does not render
old ones if anyone wants to compare
Guys Is anyone else waiting for a Dia Black Pearl exchange?Because I asked Dark to change it for me and he probably forgot about me 
IT WILL TAKE A WEEK OR MORE BEFORE YOU RECEIVE CHANGES!
Ah okay thanks for the info 😉
smh @thin meteor how dare you forget someone
(sarcasm ❤️)

Big improvement, they fixed Ruby too
I still think Paradise Potion is a bit hard to read cause of the dark shadow
how does your new paint look on your name

kind of reminds me of the diamond paint but with pink, lovely

@charred crag Do yk why when I equip black pearl(PAINT) it doesn't change to it
its kira's personal paint called kira is typing...
oh thanks lmao
you can try it out on the vanity website
imma need dat
Chrome://restart should fix it
All props to @red elm he is an amazing painter
It turned out amazing 
is the cosmetics shop
coming soon?
s00n
I could've chosen a different seed (there are infinite versions) but I wanted one that occasionally showed the background.
it gives it more "depth" although I realize it also makes it looked a bit weird
I was afraid it would just look like 2 scrolling colors
so I picked a random "building" arrangement that had a good variety of things
this one has a "street" down the middle of no buildings
like going through an intersection
I could plop an extra building there to remove that gap though, and it would probably look better
I have a feeling the average user wont see this at all
I dont mean this in a bad way, its a good template for a paint
just not sure people would actually notice it having "depth" instead of just being 3 colors cycled through at the same pattern
also I noticed that the twitchcon one has stars at the top, yeah you wont notice that, ever
I feel like maybe keep the twitchcon paint the same, because the shadow makes up for the readability
but the free one that was given out, maybe that should get fixed
this would introduce also differences other than a color change, maybe people would like that (?)
technically the purple is different too
as you can see from the server logo, the orange and purple scheme is what we use to represent halloween
I saw someone say they wanted purple and green instead
I just think the dark shadow makes Paradise Potion paint difficult to read
and I agree
oooo i like that deep purple
have this one been changed?
like is it alot brighter??
confirmed, it seems to have been changed.
||now.. i dont know if like that.||
yes, 3 paints have been changed
scroll up, I showed the gifs
I prefer that myself over an unreadable paint
You couldn’t read it before now you can
welp.. what can you do
i guess im just not used to it
new stuff = scary
but i guess it looks fine now too.
after some consideration (and looking at it for more than 30 seconds, past the initial shock) i think it actually looks better now
so i take everything i said back lol

what paint is this btw?
nooo... whyy
that one goes hard
a lot of paints exist that are unobtainable
or were obtainable previously to a very small amount of people
which are really clean
yea ofc there are alot of paints that are unobtainable but its just sad that the clean/best ones are always the ones u can’t get anymore lol
I got a few clean paints so I dont complain
yeah same, got a few clean ones too but only like 2-3 animated, and all of those are from this event 😭 and those are the best ones imo
the animated ones are the best looking
I have the deme paint, psp (molten core), nnys 2024, domos 2024, winter snowfall
and a lot of static ones that I like, that were avaible to everyone in the monthly rotation
ex. calm ocean, ghastly
That's why I want the paint shop to be finished
But first it has to be started
I'd love for those paints to occasionally become available again, using the paint shop
I don't like them being permanently unobtainable
Some people like the limited exclusivity and rarity of them
I know. But I think a year or two or three of exclusivity is enough for most people, considering there will always be new "exclusive" paints to get
ok so
thankfully @cedar steppe added this
I feel like paints that were exclusive shouldnt be opened
instead, what should be opened is paints which were in the monthly rotation
Right
Those for sure
Paints that people "earned" like CS or TwitchCon paints should also remain exclusice
But paints that people only had to enter a code at the right time are probably ok to reopen
I would like an opportunity to buy the Twitchcon Rotterdam 2025 paint in the shop if it was available for a short time tho
It's pretty cool
^ true, this would still keep the whole emotes minigame on the stream, because people wouldnt need to pay for the paint - and those who couldnt care less, would just pay a sum of money to obtain it
completely up to the user
Right
theres still people who will complain about this, and people who will absolutely love this
cant really settle for a middleground
You can’t please everyone
I feel like at the end of the day, its just twitch channel shiny colors, nothing to be really mad/worried about
but thats just my take

twitch chat* not channel, oops
I agree
I like the improvement to Paradise Potion very nice purple and much easier to read now
But yeah some people like to hoard the rarest paints and their enjoyment of them comes from the fact that other people DON'T have it
this can apply to anything
ever so humble rarity
I know
But it's not like people can sell their paints like CS skins
So people can't get TOO mad
Although that would be fun
I would call it quits if 7tv paints start selling for crazy amounts on the secondary market
lol
Except... You'd probably become rich
I think its kinda unfair that the 7tv higher ups can mke they own paints and have every single cosmetic there is
imagine 7tv cosmetic auctions 
sure, but at the same time if Im not mistaken mods aren't paid full time
if they are paid at all, not sure if this is exactly voluntary work, if there are thresholds, I have no clue whatsoever
but if they arent, then I feel like giving them an option to get a shiny name is a fair enough tradeoff
but again, I can be completely wrong and maybe mods are paid on some basis, I'd have no idea
tbh couldn't care less if someone who puts time and effort into the platform gets some custom paint(s) or access to other stuff lol
yeah, thats what Im saying
alright, hear me out... PAINT TRADEUPS 
you put in 5 paints → you get 1 rare paint
Like CS:GO but for paints 
WW
I see what you're saying ngl
Can anyone else use the vanity website? It doesn't load for me
seems down
once this channel gets nuked it'll be back to a whole bunch of nothing

Not all the mods have all the paints either. In fact, most don't.
Most just have their own custom paint
But even that practice is from the olden days
With a few exceptions
all I know is that some mods arent the same as other mods
not in terms of performance, but instead of what they do within their role
for example ftk, here hes a "7tv mod", but on the page hes classed as an admin
I basically taught ftk everything he knows 

I can turn this channel into a “paint-talk” channel if you guys want to continue to speak in here
“Paint-discussions” maybe
I wouldnt mind
all I use is #developers and this chat
without this chat only thing that remains is #developers , which gets used once per whenever
The Mr beast scam bots like #developers a lot
I think the community that the event brought in is nice 
A lot of really cool people

carrying the activity there
Could you imagine
A video comes out in like a week from Mr beast
“I SENT A BOT TO EVERY DISCORD AND GAVE OUT 1 MILLION DOLLARS”

for me its just insane how many people fall for this shit
if anything mr beast needs to make an awareness video about that shit 😭
Yeah 100%
I get like old people
But younger internet users should not be falling for this..
Nature taking its course I guess
it's not age alone. It's experience.
People in our age range have usually either seen a scam like that before, or fallen for one themselves
old people only learned about Mr. Beast recently
and "younger people" that fall for it have only learned about Mr. Beast recently, but haven't seen a scam yet
iPad kids
yes I was thinking of you
I like that idea a lot
Yeah that's fair

i wonder how much they have made from it
well I gave them about $200 so at least that much
how much have you given?
no the scammers
50k and my apartment
very generous
love supporting small indie companies
exactly
has anyones vanity been working?
alright thank you
I made the vanity tester on a domain thats really easy to remember https://v.forsen.cc/
thanks so much the other link you put wasnt working this works now!
I've made an update from my end, the raw paint now displays under the username - and you can also disable it in the settings just fine
and if you cant see this change, control + f5 on the site, that should do the trick
that's a cool feature but looks like the drop shadows are displaying at native size even though the font is larger than normal
to be an accurate preview (if you care about that) the drop shadows (both offset and blur radius) would have to be scaled up by that same amount
I can try doing something about this, again, this site wasn't coded by me
I'm just providing easy access to it incase any other source of it is down
dont want to take credit for just hosting this
@red elm can you check now?
again, might need to ctrl + f5 cause of caching
yes much better
@stoic dawn thoughts on loading the avif version of the 4x paint so it loads faster?
1x is fine to leave as webp beacuse that's more accurate to what it looks like in chat
I think scaling to 500% might be a bit fucked because of how the text tries to fit in, but I guess its whatever
I mean sure I can do it
yeah the scaling SHOULD be proportional to the font's scaling
I got everything open either way
nice
I'm not familiar enough with the vanity tester to know what it was like vs this one
what I meant is, because the text usually wont fit in 500%, it becomes smaller, which causes the dropshadow to be slightly over what it normally is
yeah I know what you meant
you can either go no badges and maybe 500% fits fine or go 400% and just deal with it
but IDK how you'd fix that lol
yeah I dont know either
there are a bunch of nerds in here that would probably know though
@charred crag
kira is not a nerd 
why would she??
I just made it so the text doesnt scale down
so when you zoom in as much as possible the text cuts off, but you can mouse3 and still go right to see the full name
and I honestly dont think I care enough to spend more time thinking of a better solution atm

yeah no, that's a good enough solution
maybe 500% scale is a bit excessive
400% would probably be plenty
people can always just zoom the page if they want more

made finishing touches to how badges are handled when zoomed in
this should make it way more accurate to how it was before
again thanks @red elm for the shadow report
My pleasure
I'm still the official pixel complainer
ok actual actual finishing touches I will clear local storage because looking for more users with bulkier paints/badges will simply fail after a bit
so now the whole thing should be running just fine without any issues
... hopefully
what do the "oA" paints mean?
like are they just for testing?
and how do I get them
it means that they're made by oAstria
you dont
hope they're selected for a monthly paint drop
can they still be?
or do they have to be new ones
dont know how the whole process of thought goes in the background
generally they'd make new ones so that they're at the end of the list, at the very least
but sometimes they've used existing paints as a base to copy from, even if the result isn't exactly the same
yeah thats what I thought
similar thing was done with cs gold and cs diamond paints
ctrl + c and ctrl + v paints under different names
also werent contestants of the 7tv tournament meant to get a special paint?
there was a phase 2 doppler paint, where did that go

We need to find something more special to use it for
people said it was "too good"
lol
what
(allegedly)
what does "too good" even mean in this context 
I had a feeling the gem paints were a bit underwhelming due to them not having a dropshadow to stand out more
compared to the gold and diamond and emerald paints
I feel like that'd be perfect for a special paint
same theme, but rare
shadows cause an unusually large performance impact, so I try to avoid requiring them if I can
they often make paints less legible too, unless the paint itself is super bright colored
while I completely agree with the performance impact on shadows, I still think it wouldnt make such a difference, especially with the fact that even some monthly paints have shadows, as a great example we can take the ghastly paint, which uses 2
filter: drop-shadow(rgb(154, 211, 254) 0px 5px 0.5px) drop-shadow(rgb(0, 110, 255) 0px 0px 15px);
and I like the paint because of how it stands out, only because of the 2 drop-shadows
My personal opinion is that shadows should be even rarer than they are
they're starting to lose their "specialness" IMO
cant really do anything about it anymore I would say
especially that theres a bunch of paints which were in the monthly cycle with shadows
I could probably add a shadow now that the paint has been brightened up
but before, it hurt legibility too much
oh also, Chatterino's blur radius isn't correct for shadows so they look different there. So I like to avoid them if possible.
idk if chatterino even renders more than 1 shadow
actually as a matter of fact I dont even think it renders whatever its trying to render correctly
a great example of this is simply looking at the latest twitchcon paint
its on the same level as the paradise potion paint pre-update
99% sure it does
the reason it looks different is it's rendering the blur radius wrong
it's written with Qt and the numbers are probably just different than whatever the websites use
in any paint I've seen so far I can only notice the shadow that goes under the name directly
probably needs to be doubled or squared or something
wouldnt this be fixed by now?
nope
but again, I guess the vanity site didnt have shadows fixed either
The "shadows" are still visible because they don't have a blur radius
or don't need one, at least
but to have a "glow" the shadow needs to be blurred
and Qt's blur radius just doesn't work the same way
(it's possible it's just the chatterino7 fork being written wrong, rather than Qt itself having differences.)
maybe the blur has a decimal in the wrong place and it's 1/10th the size it should be
But I can confirm that the blur DOES work
it's just really tiny
so paints that need it like the TC paint look very different
so that's one reason I like to avoid making paints that require glows
guessing its this
void PaintDropShadow::apply(QPixmapDropShadowFilter &effect) const
{
effect.setOffset({this->xOffset_, this->yOffset_});
effect.setBlurRadius(this->radius_);
effect.setColor(this->color_);
}
not sure if I really do want to rebuild chatterino just to test it out with like x2 or x3 tho...
I have a 9950x3d
I wouldn't mind doing the compilation
I just haven't had time to look into setting up a dev environment and stuff
I'm not a developer at all
but I use linux so it would probably be trivial
Could you put an option in the settings to enter any blur radius multiplier?
That's how I'd do it but that's probably a bit trickier
I think a good place to start is looking at the 7TV extension
the radius should be in pixels
in both places
but I think radius gets interpreted differently when the paints get parsed by the 7TV extension
because a radius of 5 looks way larger than 5 pixels
Hopefully
🙏
Also is anyone getting a glitch where it shows a usernames name in the followed channel as the wrong name?
There name is DLOU on twitch but it said "LONG" in the followed channels on the left for me but after a while it went back to normal
It might be fun to make a way for people to be able to vote on future paint drops
there is a subreddit still actually
I don't personally check it and don't know if anyone else does either. lol
I think only I do 
There's only some help threads there from time to time, probably not enough visitors for a vote
thank you for your service
I see glow on the left, none on the right
yeah
did you recompile chatterino?
I did
next step is to compare it to the actual extension
interestingly the paints aren't interpolated correctly when scaled
as you can see on the right, the blur is there, just much smaller
auto scaled = shadow.scaled(
scale / static_cast<float>(outMap.devicePixelRatio()));
this is what chatterino does
I think the devide here is at cause
i also then later multiply even further to increase it just a tad bit
void PaintDropShadow::apply(QPixmapDropShadowFilter &effect) const
{
effect.setOffset({this->xOffset_, this->yOffset_});
effect.setBlurRadius(this->radius_ * 2.5f);
effect.setColor(this->color_);
}
a really stupid fix
but it does look a bit better, doesnt it
yes
but ideally we shouldn't be multiplying them by arbitrary values
we should figure out how the extension does it
so that it looks identical between them
I dont think we can
not sure if theres a way to go beyond this
why not?
I mean if you know how to make it reliable
then go for it
I dont know what could we do to make this better
I don't know enough about the extension's code to say
we'd have to look at it to find out how it scales the value
I dont think the 7tv extension actually does scale it in any way that could just be easily replicated
and because qt and css use different methods for shadows, you cant just put the same values
unless someone else knows the 7tv code and can prove me wrong with the scaling thing
I think they're both supposed to be the radius in pixels
also, the chatterino7 fork would ideally use the Inter font as default, to replicate how twitch chat looks
I mean thats on the actual fork maintainers to do
Im just trying to make shadows better
also while this is true
this doesnt reflect 1:1 the same as it would do with css
thats the main issue
Very odd
thats why I believe you can only get an estimate of how it could look like, not a realistic 1:1 representation
I feel like if it was just as simple as it seems then the chatterino7 devs/maintainers would've done it by now
nah I think you're the first person to even look at this since it was merged
your change already looks way better
I'd just want to check it against twitch chat to make sure it looks similar enough
I'm not home right now to help with that kind of thing though
the main issue with my fix is that youre still multiplying it
so the chance of the shadow under the name gets shifted too
thats why Im thinking of using this
float scalefactor = 1.5f + (this->radius_ * 0.33f);
instead
this would impact the shadow under the name less, while impacting the glow more
glows are just shadows with a large blur
yeah, Im aware
are you trying to treat them separately?
Ill just try picking and chosing whatever seems the best tbh
do you mean in the code or as in the way Im typing

well the way you said this
implies that you are

I know that its literally just 2 shadows 
its just better to differentiate them like this, no?
Why and how?
well I just prefer calling the thing thats supposed to represent a glow, glow, and the thing thats meant to represent a shadow under your name a shadow

even though theyre the same elements with different properties
I don't think it's a good idea to separate them
it's unnecessary
Im not seperating them in the code
and because of this, making this wasnt a bad call
float scalefactor = 1.5f + (this->radius_ * 0.33f);
because then youre not scaling the smaller radius shadows, compared to the ones that are meant to be bigger
well no I think this would cause undesirable differences
well, if you multiply it by a solid value wouldnt you get differences too
what is this?
I tested out 2 draws for the shadow
increasing radius only goes so far with replicating a paint
Im comparing with native chat now, it has to be more intense
grab a screenshot of the native twitch chat too to compare
on the image above, left is native
Im going to continue doing 2x shadow draws, and instead change the opacity to 75% on each
I just dont believe 2x shadow draws will come as a solid solution
thats my problem
its more of a slop quick fix
so math-wise, things are USUALLY a power of 2
when dealing with radii and pixels, which are circles and squares respectively, sometimes the conversion is the square root of 2
or half that
so about 1.41 or 0.707
as factors for converting between them
that screenshot is very blurry for some reason
you're ranctious? 
I see what you mean about them not being directly comparable
it's a different blur algo
no 😭
maybe that can be changed later

the colors of paints also look noticeably different
notice how the blue isn't as bright in chatterino
this is already scuffed enough of a fix to be pushed to the actual thing
probably the same issue that caused the other paints to be too dark
yeah
so what did you actually do?
1.5x + 0.33x?
for the intensity I just draw the shadows twice, for the radius I just multiply it by 3
and again, I draw the shadows with 75% opacity, so they arent as intense
now that you notice it I cant unsee it
😭
not sure what causes this sort of color shift tho
this happens in the publically avaible chatterino
so its not something I made from my end
that would be fire
Oh you changed opacity?
So it's not broken? I'm glad lol
yea I didnt change back opacity after affecting the shadows
simply setting it back did the job
Very cool
I feel like this kinda brings more life to some paints now
For sure
Do a pull request I guess lul
If you can
Im gonna test something out still
how can shadows look like anything when the rendering for them was fucked
u can barely see the shadows on very close zoom
again, shadows could not look like anything on the current public version of chatterino
the radius was never multiplied/increased overall so it could actually be visible
my current implementation obviously isnt great, Im not a cpp dev, but Its enough to make it resemble somewhere close to native 7tv
left is with shadows right is without
if you wanna fix paint shadows in chatterino just make your own fork 
I was planning to do that and then potentially make a PR
but again, I have to test out more implementations for this and get more opinions
some people seem to really like this, some seem to really hate this
i just use the paints i like most and dont care much about the shitty shadows in chatterino 
its not like there is much thought put into "are paints even readable" anymore
that is why I also would potentially make an option to swap between paint rendering
this aims mainly to be closer to native chat, and if some people would find it bad to look at and would prefer just how it was before, they could just change it in the settings
this is also exactly why Im asking some people about their thoughts on this
considering the 7tv website and extension render image paints differently i am actually not sure anyone knows definitively how anything is supposed to be rendered
all paints that are based on a texture file are 128x384
on the website it gets zoomed in the top left corner so your name always fits in the 384 width, while in the extension the vertical axis is fixed and the texture it stretched to fit your name length
not sure if this makes sense but you'll see it if you go looking
