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?

crystal narwhal
#

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

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?

oh i requested change

I may switch black pearl badge to diamond is not even that good

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

stoic dawn
#

that one still looks the same

cedar steppe
stoic dawn
#

shit I misread

#

you mean like the dark patch that appears once per sometimes?

cedar steppe
stoic dawn
#

happens cause of this gap

#

same thing with the twitchcon paint

#

because its the same thing, just recolored

cedar steppe
#

I think Twitchcon San Diego 2025 is okay

stoic dawn
#

I think it looks better on native 7tv because it has the glow

as for chatterino, that does not render

is the cosmetics shop jnbKappa coming soon?

charred crag
#

s00n

red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
#

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 (?)

red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
#

Im glad the gem paints got updated at least

#

so its actually usable

cedar steppe

#

have this one been changed?

confirmed, it seems to have been changed.

||now.. i dont know if like that.||

stoic dawn
#

scroll up, I showed the gifs

thorn ivy
#

ah. i didnt scroll up.

#

still

#

i dont know if i like that

stoic dawn
#

I prefer that myself over an unreadable paint

cedar steppe
thorn ivy
#

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

#

unobtainable for us

thorn ivy
#

nooo... whyyNOOOO that one goes hard

charred crag
#

Cotton candy skies

stoic dawn
#

a lot of paints exist that are unobtainable

#

or were obtainable previously to a very small amount of people

#

which are really clean

thorn ivy
thorn ivy
stoic dawn
#

I got a few clean paints so I dont complain

thorn ivy
#

the animated ones are the best looking

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

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

cedar steppe
red elm
stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

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

cedar steppe
red elm
#

It's pretty cool

stoic dawn
#

^ 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

red elm
#

Right

stoic dawn
#

theres still people who will complain about this, and people who will absolutely love this

#

cant really settle for a middleground

cedar steppe
#

You can’t please everyone

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

I agree

cedar steppe
red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
#

ever so humble rarity

red elm
#

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

cedar steppe
#

I would call it quits if 7tv paints start selling for crazy amounts on the secondary market

red elm
#

Except... You'd probably become rich

warm musk
stoic dawn
#

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

toxic harness
#

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

stoic dawn
#

yeah, thats what Im saying

thorn ivy
#

alright, hear me out... PAINT TRADEUPS Pepega
you put in 5 paints → you get 1 rare paint
Like CS:GO but for paints LELU

warm musk
#

Can anyone else use the vanity website? It doesn't load for me

stoic dawn
#

once this channel gets nuked it'll be back to a whole bunch of nothing

red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
#

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

charred crag
#

What do you think of me

stoic dawn
#

I do not have enough insight to rate someones performance or skill of their roles

charred crag
#

I basically taught ftk everything he knows oshaProud

charred crag
#

I can turn this channel into a “paint-talk” channel if you guys want to continue to speak in here

#

“Paint-discussions” maybe

stoic dawn
#

I wouldnt mind

#

without this chat only thing that remains is #developers , which gets used once per whenever

charred crag
charred crag
#

A lot of really cool people

charred crag
#

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”

stoic dawn
#

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 😭

charred crag
#

Yeah 100%

#

I get like old people

#

But younger internet users should not be falling for this..

#

Nature taking its course I guess

red elm
#

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

red elm
charred crag
#

i wonder how much they have made from it

red elm
#

how much have you given?

charred crag
#

to mr beast?

#

40k and my house

red elm
#

no the scammers

charred crag
#

50k and my apartment

red elm
#

very generous

charred crag
#

love supporting small indie companies

red elm

has anyones vanity been working?

stoic dawn
night mist

warm musk
stoic dawn
#

and if you cant see this change, control + f5 on the site, that should do the trick

red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

@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

stoic dawn
#

I think scaling to 500% might be a bit fucked because of how the text tries to fit in, but I guess its whatever

red elm
stoic dawn
#

I got everything open either way

red elm
#

nice

#

I'm not familiar enough with the vanity tester to know what it was like vs this one

stoic dawn
stoic dawn
#

you can either go no badges and maybe 500% fits fine or go 400% and just deal with it

red elm
#

but IDK how you'd fix that lol

stoic dawn
#

yeah I dont know either

red elm
#

there are a bunch of nerds in here that would probably know though

surreal wagon
#

kira is not a nerd Alright

warm musk
#

why would she??

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

maybe 500% scale is a bit excessive

#

400% would probably be plenty

#

people can always just zoom the page if they want more

stoic dawn
stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

I'm still the official pixel complainer

stoic dawn
#

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

warm musk
#

what do the "oA" paints mean?

#

like are they just for testing?

#

and how do I get them

#

or do they have to be new ones

#

dont know how the whole process of thought goes in the background

red elm
#

but sometimes they've used existing paints as a base to copy from, even if the result isn't exactly the same

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

people said it was "too good"

#

lol

stoic dawn
#

what

red elm
#

(allegedly)

stoic dawn
#

what does "too good" even mean in this context LO

#

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

red elm
#

they often make paints less legible too, unless the paint itself is super bright colored

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

My personal opinion is that shadows should be even rarer than they are

#

they're starting to lose their "specialness" IMO

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

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.

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
#

in any paint I've seen so far I can only notice the shadow that goes under the name directly

red elm
#

probably needs to be doubled or squared or something

stoic dawn
red elm
#

nope

stoic dawn
#

but again, I guess the vanity site didnt have shadows fixed either

red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
# red elm But I can confirm that the blur DOES work

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...

red elm
#

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

red elm
#

That's how I'd do it but that's probably a bit trickier

stoic dawn
#

I mean I can try looking into the building process

#

all I would need is Qt anyway

red elm
#

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

#

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

red elm
#

there is a subreddit still actually

#

I don't personally check it and don't know if anyone else does either. lol

trail sonnet
#

I think only I do LUE

#

There's only some help threads there from time to time, probably not enough visitors for a vote

stoic dawn
#

@red elm doesnt this look a bit better?

#

as in the "glow", that is

red elm
#

I see glow on the left, none on the right

stoic dawn
#

yeah

red elm
stoic dawn
#

I did

red elm
#

very nice

#

ok so

stoic dawn
red elm
#

next step is to compare it to the actual extension

red elm
# stoic dawn

interestingly the paints aren't interpolated correctly when scaled

#

as you can see on the right, the blur is there, just much smaller

stoic dawn
#

I think I know why

#

but also not really

red elm
#

I can help you test this too

#

I can add a large blur to a paint to compare

stoic dawn
#
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

red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
#

not sure if theres a way to go beyond this

red elm
stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

also, the chatterino7 fork would ideally use the Inter font as default, to replicate how twitch chat looks

stoic dawn
#

I mean thats on the actual fork maintainers to do

#

Im just trying to make shadows better

stoic dawn
#

this doesnt reflect 1:1 the same as it would do with css

#

thats the main issue

red elm
#

Very odd

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

maybe CSS isn't using radius

#

a "10 pixel blur" would be a radius of 5

red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

glows are just shadows with a large blur

stoic dawn
#

yeah, Im aware

red elm
#

are you trying to treat them separately?

stoic dawn
#

Ill just try picking and chosing whatever seems the best tbh

stoic dawn
red elm
#

implies that you are

stoic dawn
#

I know that its literally just 2 shadows LULE

#

its just better to differentiate them like this, no?

stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

it's unnecessary

stoic dawn
#

Im not seperating them in the code

red elm
#

there's no way to tell them apart reliably

#

oh

stoic dawn
#

I just seperate them in the way I say it

red elm
#

oh

#

that's very different

#

carry on

stoic dawn
#

because then youre not scaling the smaller radius shadows, compared to the ones that are meant to be bigger

red elm
#

well no I think this would cause undesirable differences

stoic dawn
#

well, if you multiply it by a solid value wouldnt you get differences too

red elm
#

if you zoom chatterino way in, it the scaling doesn't look wrong

#

just smaller

stoic dawn
#

I mean...

red elm
stoic dawn
#

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

red elm
#

grab a screenshot of the native twitch chat too to compare

stoic dawn
#

on the image above, left is native

red elm
#

oh

#

gotcha

stoic dawn
#

Im going to continue doing 2x shadow draws, and instead change the opacity to 75% on each

red elm
#

definitely a different blur algorithm

#

BUT

#

it looks a lot better

stoic dawn
#

I just dont believe 2x shadow draws will come as a solid solution

#

thats my problem

#

its more of a slop quick fix

red elm
#

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

stoic dawn
#

left is native

#

u can see how the shadow cuts off on the right on the sides LULE

red elm
#

that screenshot is very blurry for some reason

stoic dawn
#

I sent from kappa.lol

#

what about now

surreal wagon
#

you're ranctious? Reacting

red elm
# stoic dawn

I see what you mean about them not being directly comparable

#

it's a different blur algo

red elm
#

maybe that can be changed later

surreal wagon
#

..

stoic dawn
red elm
#

the colors of paints also look noticeably different

#

notice how the blue isn't as bright in chatterino

stoic dawn
#

this is already scuffed enough of a fix to be pushed to the actual thing

red elm
#

probably the same issue that caused the other paints to be too dark

red elm
#

so what did you actually do?

#

1.5x + 0.33x?

stoic dawn
#

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

stoic dawn
#

😭

#

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

stoic dawn
#

nvm Im wrong, this is caused somehow by the opacity

#

^ Fixed

red elm
#

So it's not broken? I'm glad lol

stoic dawn
#

yea I didnt change back opacity after affecting the shadows

#

simply setting it back did the job

red elm
#

Very cool

stoic dawn
#

I feel like this kinda brings more life to some paints now

red elm
#

Do a pull request I guess lul

#

If you can

stoic dawn
#

Im gonna test something out still

modern agate
#

everyone knows this by now

humble shuttle
#

bad shadows look bad on chatterino

#

hesBB skill issue

stoic dawn
#

u can barely see the shadows on very close zoom

stoic dawn
#

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

modern agate
#

if you wanna fix paint shadows in chatterino just make your own fork Justhowitis

stoic dawn
#

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

modern agate
#

i just use the paints i like most and dont care much about the shitty shadows in chatterino fsmThatsjustmee
its not like there is much thought put into "are paints even readable" anymore

stoic dawn
#

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

modern agate
#

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

stoic dawn
#

I havent looked into the actual images/gradients that go on people names, Im just here for the drop shadows applied on paints

#

I do know something is wrong, even from the last time I saw you and ftk look at how some specific paints look
