question

[hollow siren]

can i add multiple sets at once or should i make a new set and use the origin feature and combine the two?

[silk ice]

origins feature is currently very buggy and we do not recommend using it until new api is released, it can end up with your sets being corrupted and having to be re-done from scratch

[hollow siren]

oof. ok. am i able to add multiple sets at once? (holiday plus base)

[hollow siren]

i am ideally hoping to avoid the hours it would take to make a new set from scratch. being able to add multiple sets at once would make life easier

[silk ice]

these would be two different sets

if you're thinking of a way of "merging" them then it's not a thing

just to clarify, origin should work fine once again when update to 7tv backend is deployed but unfortunately there is no specific ETA on that

you can try to use origin but I would still encourage you to start with a brand new set that you are okay with losing if it gets corrupted

[hollow siren]

ya. thats what im saying. if it works to add both the holiday set and the base set to be active at the same time. or if we are only allowed to have one active set at a time

[silk ice]

you can have one active set at a time yes

but origin is kind of a subset

if I remember correctly the way it works is that origin contains the holiday variants which are "fed" to the set that has origin set to it, so the origin set is not active per se

and maybe I shouldn't actually say active, because all sets are technically active - I mean assigned to a channel

[hollow siren]

i hear your origin worries, it worries me too. creating a new set and using origin to pull from others is simple enough, but my main worry would be corrupting the original sets. seperate from the new origin merged set

if this makes sense. i dont want to mess up original sets. the new holiday origin merged one would really only be temporary anyway

[silk ice]

well if you do it like this it wouldnt get corrupted

[fathom narwhal]

oh I didn't know this was still a buggy feature

[mystic topaz]

since day 1

[fathom narwhal]

someone said it was fixed this is terrible news

[silk ice]

1 - your original set you want to keep and not corrupt it
2 - new set you could make from scratch (unfortunately it would have to be manual work)
3 - origin set that you would link to set 2

if you want to try to use origin this is the safest way to do it

as long as you do not enable origin on set 1 youre fine

[hollow siren]

ya so if im understanding correctly, create a new set and use origin to pull other sets to new set. which is fine. the feature is simple enough to use. but again, my main worry.. you saying its buggy. in a worst case scenario, would the new set be the only one impacted? or would it put the original (seperate) set at risk too?

[mystic topaz]

worst case scenario, the set that pull emotes from another set will have "UnknownEmote"(s) in the set, which cant be remove and take up slots, so the only fix is to delete the whole set

wrong emote names between emotes is another bug

[hollow siren]

so any issue would be secluded to the new (origin) set?
and the original set is not at risk?

[silk ice]

if you click "add origin" on the specific set then this will be the only set that might be affected

[mystic topaz]

yeah, afaik only the set that applied origin will be bugged

[silk ice]

so if you dont do it on your main set you should be fine

[silk ice]

set that applied origin or rather the set that origin was applied to

I hate the name of this feature with passion tbh

[fathom narwhal]

what if you already did do that

[silk ice]

if it didnt bug out yet its not too late to escape

[fathom narwhal]

So just add all emotes in new set then add festive ones in it?

terrible fix if so

[mystic topaz]

the set that applied origin/pull emotes

[silk ice]

I know it's not ideal but we've seen some major issues with it

like ghost emotes taking up slots in a set with no way to remove them

[silk ice]

you dont have origin on any of your sets

unless you have an alt

[mystic topaz]

origin should be a banned word so nobody uses/knows it

[fathom narwhal]

it's not mine that's why I did

[silk ice]

bug someone elses set

[fathom narwhal]

I can live with it if it were mine
