MOTION build competition - Discussion post

[coarse mica]

yeah...

[granite moth]

just one day more is enough....

[north condor]

yuh

[coarse mica]

yup

[granite moth]

i mean

[north condor]

will have to pull an all nighter but still

[coarse mica]

crazy

[granite moth]

i dont wanna pull an all nighter brah

[lethal minnow]

Same here

[granite moth]

Oh please Oaklands Gods give us another day to submit

[coarse mica]

honestly it wouldnt change much for me lol

[north condor]

have you done any logic yet?

[lethal minnow]

Not a single thing D;

[north condor]

brah

[lethal minnow]

Everything is going to get done today

[granite moth]

i am like 95% completed

[coarse mica]

... oof

[granite moth]

but i have to go somewhere later

to do something important

[coarse mica]

im not sure how much we have done, but i would say like 90%? there is still a lot

[lethal minnow]

I am just the builder; logic is above my pay grade. Everything should in theroy get done today

[coarse mica]

i honestly just want to finish building the comp project alredy i want to work on some projects outside of oaklands

[north condor]

is there alot to do?

[tired furnace]

I kinda had the mentality of getting it done as soon as i could so I had more time to study after, and possibly fix any mistakes i make

[granite moth]

at least you get the time to be able to work on it

[lethal minnow]

Not really, the build isn't focused on logic, got to do one more room interior, then the building side of things should be done, then it's logic persons turn to get everything done. Will prob do a little more building to make the logic fit

[granite moth]

I kinda don't lol, I spent most of the time I did in the competition dealing with papers and documents

[north condor]

what's the movement part tho ?

[lethal minnow]

Going to be a marble machine

[tired furnace]

nowhere (disqualified upon submission )

[north condor]

liar lol

[granite moth]

wait are you giving the logic people a day to do the logic

[lethal minnow]

They gave themselves a day

[tired furnace]

Oh we literally talked with a friend earlier on how weird it is that nobody submitted any marble machines

[granite moth]

dang

[lethal minnow]

Yeah I have an overly detailed build thats going to have a marble machine in it lol

[granite moth]

i think someone would do a rube goldberg machine

[tired furnace]

the cheat code: instead of making a good build about motion, you make a very good build and just put motion in it so it qualifies

[lethal minnow]

lol exactly what I did

[granite moth]

I honestly want more build comps regarding logic

[tired furnace]

I tried my best to focus on the actual motion of it instead of trying to add non-functional detail

[granite moth]

the logic part was really fun as well as the addition to building

[spiral inlet]

aren't 2 of the voting criteria literally about logic and movement tho

[tired furnace]

in the heart of the competetion

[lethal minnow]

The original idea was to do animated monsters around the build but then I learned 3D animation isn't a thing yet in this game D;

[granite moth]

it is a thing

[tired furnace]

probably should have posted the loom in my post

but oh well

[granite moth]

you just need to do it multiple times...

[tired furnace]

the loom ⬆️

[granite moth]

I'm talking about doing a stop motion using the spawn pad

[tired furnace]

(the logic powering the displays in my train)

[tired furnace]

oh thats an interesting idea

havent thought of that

have fun building each frame though

[granite moth]

I had multiple ideas

I just went with this duck shooting gallery because I thought it was simple

(the functions eventually did not)

[north condor]

fr?

[lethal minnow]

Pretty much, not sure how detailed the logic is going to be yet

[north condor]

idk if that's really in the competition spirit but oh well :/

[tired furnace]

1 sec i have something to post here

[lethal minnow]

Well, the movement part will be detailed with moving components intertwined with my build, I think I meet the criteria

[north condor]

yeah if it uses the build as parkour its cool

[granite moth]

if you said this to me, I would probably give up and wait for the next logic comp

[lethal minnow]

I think thats the plan rn unless something different comes up

[tired furnace]

The first door in this sequence is one half tin, one half zinc

Typical Developers - #oak-general · Nov 11, 2024, 10:12 AM

[coarse mica]

i mean, 3d animation isnt a thing, but if you want to try using privacy glass and a few hundreds of interactors... lol

[tired furnace]

half the submissions were just this ⬆️

[lethal minnow]

Sadly I don't think I got the time to do my original idea lol

[coarse mica]

oh damn thats really smooth

[spiral inlet]

Like honestly I don't see how much further we could take a 2nd logic competition unless we get more moving parts and/or more relaxed size restrictions on all door parts

[coarse mica]

i mean, there can be a "game" theme

[tired furnace]

I dont like those submissions though

[north condor]

just make a general logic comp

[lethal minnow]

Isn't there I thing in testing that makes builds moveable

[tired furnace]

one of the rules was to not just make fancy doors

[north condor]

i'd legit make doom

[tired furnace]

and they made fancy doors

[spiral inlet]

Wait seriously?

[coarse mica]

oh really?

[granite moth]

knowing what you can do

[coarse mica]

i dont think he is lying lol

[granite moth]

yeah you could legit

[north condor]

i already have the blueprints

[spiral inlet]

no that was for houses\ not fancy doors

[coarse mica]

doom at 1 fps

[north condor]

just need to make it

[tired furnace]

wait i was wrong

[tired furnace]

yeah i was wrong

i will eat my words, and put on the clown wig now

[granite moth]

one of my ideas was a bossfight of some sort

[tired furnace]

I was thinking about making a very simple fake 3D renderer in okalands for this competetion but in the end i decided it was too much of a risk

I have made one in another game though

[north condor]

like just a gif player?

[tired furnace]

this, something like this could be done in oaklands

[granite moth]

oh 2.5d

[north condor]

oh yeah that's how doom works

[granite moth]

also yeah seems possible

[north condor]

i have very fast way of running this sort of rendering

way faster than a spinny cube lol

[tired furnace]

ah

[granite moth]

im guessing 10-15fps fast

which is pretty fast actually

[north condor]

maybe not

[tired furnace]

makes sense, my catweb implementation is only slow because catweb itself is super slow

[north condor]

more like 3 fps fast

[granite moth]

well that is impressive still

[north condor]

why didnt you buffer it?

[tired furnace]

cause in catweb even that is too slow

you can't even use functions in it because functions make the program wait a frame 💀

[north condor]

lol

but yeah this type of vertical line rendering can be run wayyy faster than like a cube that spin on 3 axis

cause you dont have to do it pixel by pixel

[tired furnace]

yea

thats why i was considering making it in oaklands

[north condor]

beware negative numbers 💀

[coarse mica]

scary

[granite moth]

yoo kree you should totally implement signed distance functions to your 3d renderer

[north condor]

whats that?

fov?

[tired furnace]

oh yeah there's another thing thats bad about my catweb renderer

I am using an inefficient way of casting the rays

[granite moth]

it allows you to do raymarching

though sdfs are functions to describe the distance from any point in space to the surface of an object

[north condor]

so what does it actually do?

[tired furnace]

in a pixel/voxel environment there is a very fast to get precise raycasts

[north condor]

for my 3d renderer to keep it fast i use weak perspective projection

the formula is quite simple

idk how well it would handle camera movement tho

[tired furnace]

rotate the whole world around the camera using a rotation matrix

[north condor]

i'm already doing that for the shapes lol

[granite moth]

actually no nvm sdfs are just computationally expensive

[tired furnace]

ah

good to know

[north condor]

i made 5 different formulas but none of them work in oakland cause of negative numbers

so ill use a work around

[tired furnace]

i honestly dont get why oaklands doesnt let you use negative numbers btw

[north condor]

would be amazing

but rn ill have to rotate by 180 degree twice

[tired furnace]

I hope oaklands 2 (coming 2043) is gonna have negative numbers

[north condor]

also string logic

if they add string logic weill prob get negative numbers too

[tired furnace]

eh from a progrmmer's standpoint string logic is a bad idea

its generally slow

[north condor]

[tired furnace]

I do howerver want vector logic

cause funny, i want vector3 maths

like dot product and cross product, they're not that hard to calculate but i'd still prefer having them as a single block

[coarse mica]

string logic?

like, instead of numbers there would be a "SendData_123123" type of thing?

[north condor]

just infinite lenght pretty much

[coarse mica]

ah

[coarse mica]

like infinite numbers in the inputs/wires?

[tired furnace]

string concatenation, substring, case conversion, reverse, search ect.

[coarse mica]

i mean, the hardest part would just be handling errors

but i think i can do that in studio pretty easily

[tired furnace]

i don't really know if lua has try catch blocks

[coarse mica]

would be sick to see that in oaklands tho

[coarse mica]

try catch blocks?

[tired furnace]

yeah, essentially it works like this:

if the error doesn't necessarily break the program completely, it's not considered an error, but instead an exception

[coarse mica]

then not really

[tired furnace]

and you can make a block of code

[coarse mica]

any errors stop the scripts

[tired furnace]

listen to what i'M saying

[coarse mica]

but you can make protected calls that stop that from happening

[tired furnace]

but also yeah

the idea of try-catch, is like this:

try{functionThatCanThrowException();}
catch(exception e){print(e.text);}

You can run the function that can throw exception

and if it does throw an excetpion (weak error)

you can use a "catch" block

that will tell the program what to do

[coarse mica]

ohhh i see

[tired furnace]

however the thing inside the try block will stop

[coarse mica]

well there is a workaround in studio like this that works basically the same

[tired furnace]

also, you can specify which type of exception you're trying for, so if your try block can throw multiple kinds you can handle them differently

[tired furnace]

what is it

[coarse mica]

hold on let me write it in a notepad so it's easier

[tired furnace]

oh its Pcall

[coarse mica]

or this

basically works as a pcall

[north condor]

i swear this project took 5 years away from my lifespan

[lethal minnow]

Make that 10

[coarse mica]

double it and give it to me

[proud meteor]

Im almost finished with my build but i gotta figure out the jumping system, other then that its going alright

[coarse mica]

roblox is my main opp rn

not letting me upload images 🥀

[proud meteor]

💔

W

amazing work @spiral inlet

[spiral inlet]

Thank you!

[tepid lichen]

Hopefully we see some more stuff like this so you have competition lol

[spiral inlet]

What's your favorite part of the build out of curiosity?

[tepid lichen]

Idk it's all really cool

I like how it's all like linked together

kinda like upgraded versions of Oaklands machines

[spiral inlet]

That's exactly what I was going for

1st building is the refinery

2nd one is the forge

Fully functional

Just didn't really feel like doing that in the video because the lag was ruining the entire sequence multiple times and the camera is really janky

[tepid lichen]

lol all the gifs is lagging discord

on my phone atleast

[spiral inlet]

I recorded the submission video in 60fps

it runs at 10fps on discord

I am very mad

the gifs I accepted the low FPS for but the main video annoys me a lot

[tepid lichen]

I'm gonna have all the videos in a single yt one for people to watch

[spiral inlet]

neato

[tepid lichen]

ik discord media player sucks

so yea

[spiral inlet]

hopefully the downloaded version actually worksd

[proud meteor]

dang im not so confident anymore 😭

[vale lake]

Yeah i hope everyone upload more stuff like this it satisfying to watch looks cool, do more creation, dev more

[vale lake]

I hear it

😆

[north condor]

Project's main part working

[tepid lichen]

Super excited to see it

[north condor]

i'm surprised the game can even handle it

[tepid lichen]

I regret not doing my own judging cuz I wanna remove some of these that are technically allowed but like

just meh idk

I think next comp I will but just won't have set limit of the amount that go on to voting

[north condor]

next comp you could let player vote 3 winners and you choose the top 1

[tepid lichen]

well I don't even mind players picking who wins just there's some lower quality I want to remove so it's easier for people to vote (not having to go through as many)

[north condor]

you did say you'd remove low effort ones

[tepid lichen]

yeaaa ig

idk if they are really effort tho they just aren't very good 😭

[north condor]

lol fair

@tepid lichen main video has to be 30 sec max but can i link some other small vid / picture to show details?

[lethal minnow]

I am trying D; taking awhile to get done

[lethal minnow]

Welp, I've got to call it quits. Sadly, I don't have enough movement to qualify for the comp, I'll send some pictures of what I got, Build will be for sale if anyone is interested

[lethal minnow]

If it was just a build comp this would be more in my favour, but after repeated ideas being shut down and not working there isn't much I can do in such little time

[scarlet bloom]

jak please tell me the next one is a regular build comp

or maybe an art comp

[north condor]

all the comp are building 😭

[scarlet bloom]

and they always have so many participants

we all know whos winning this one

[north condor]

who 💀

[scarlet bloom]

well your one of the best at logic, but teches is an actual building and still has movement so its between you two since we havent seen yours yet

[north condor]

yeah it's sad most logic player are starting to go away cause its not getting any update

there's only a few left and no new one

i'm trying to convert people 😛

i might start making some more advanced logic tutorial

[coarse mica]

gawd damn

[coarse mica]

logic cult

[north condor]

how much for that one printer?

[coarse mica]

maybe in the future i could become a scripter in oaklands and make new logic components

[north condor]

gotta come up with some ideas

[coarse mica]

i have some in mind

[lethal minnow]

I am to tired to come up with prices rn, all I know is that the entire build is for sale, everything included, one and done, don't want to see it anymore lol

[north condor]

lol you should make an oakmarket post

[proud meteor]

rip 💔 looks really good though

[north condor]

did you finish ?

[proud meteor]

not yet

i cant figure out a way to do the jumping system

[north condor]

times ticking lol

[proud meteor]

ye

[granite moth]

nevermind! guess there was a change of schedule and i can do the comp today!!!

[tawdry quartz]

letss goo we have a submission!!!!!!!

[inland patio]

that was actually so much work

imma be sleeping good tonight

[tawdry quartz]

ong yo 12 of work to finish was crazy T-T. Ggs fr

[tired furnace]

I literally cannot watch the video on that one volcano submission because for some reason the video's super laggy for me

the other submission videos are fine though

also the gifs in the volcano post are displayed properly, it really is just the video itself that lags the hell out

[idle vortex]

im gonna loose guys

[tired furnace]

Who knows, maybe you can still snag a a podium place

[idle vortex]

idk

[tired furnace]

in spite of it's simplicity i still find your submission funny and that gets a vote from me

wortermelone

[idle vortex]

yay

[tepid lichen]

Ye

La Papa non pas si caliente? oui (@krreeeepc)

Spaceship Flight Sim User: Adrie734 ; JP_Pontes
This project took around 100 hours to complete and include over 10 000 wires , it is a fully functional 3d
panorama that wraps all around a spaceship letting you cruise trough the environment ,
the spaceship also includes multiple animated parts and interactive elements all centralised and powered wich can all be controlled

image source: eso.org/public/images/?search=panorama
-# had to go trough a few hundreds page of archive so ive got a bunch of pretty space images if someone wants

Had to edit a few thousands images and created a whole entire plugin and programs to do them properly
Roblox rendering gave us a lot of challenges but we managed to find a work around each of them

For better effect , focus your look on the ground or the shiny button

Typical Developers - Motion Build Competition Submissions · May 25, 2025, 1:25 PM

[tired furnace]

The...

how much time did that take

also i assume you rendered the outside environment in blender correct?

oh wait i am stupid its all in the wall of text i was too lazy to read

[coarse mica]

lol

and i made a plugin just to speed up the process of getting the IDs, works on any gif and panorama images, pretty fun

now i can make any gif i want more easily lol

[tired furnace]

Crazy how my thoughts went from "yeah i proably get at least 2nd place" to "am i even gonna get in the top 5" in the span of 24 hours

[coarse mica]

nah, your submission is pretty solid though

[north condor]

i did try in blender before hand

[upper rapids]

I had no internet for the past day lol

[coarse mica]

oh yeah i forgot about that

[north condor]

but yeah most of the testing was in studio so we could get actual behavior

[tired furnace]

eh it's probably just my personal stupidity that convinces me to make every asset i use myself

[north condor]

had to deal with ALOT of roblox rendering issues

we spent 83 hours in game but probably like 40 hours in studio etc

[coarse mica]

what did we learn in this comp?

1. roblox hates images with transparency
2. roblox hates us and didnt let us import a ton of images

[north condor]

3. downloading 8 year old editing plug ins rarely works

[coarse mica]

atleast it was pretty fun making a plugin and learning new stuff lol

[coarse mica]

yeah.... we tried a lot of things to make it work

[north condor]

might be time to sleep

[coarse mica]

yeah you need it lol

[tired furnace]

you know i was assuming you just don't do that

and instead live off of pure caffeine and sugar

[north condor]

havent slept in 30 hours 🥀

[tired furnace]

ok i was somewhat correct

[coarse mica]

idk how lol

[north condor]

biscuits

[coarse mica]

friday i tried staying awake and blacked out while playing with him

[north condor]

i stay awake with metal and biscuits

[tired furnace]

The holy trinity of pulling all nighters:

• Caffeine :D
• Naturally being bad at falling asleep
• Autistic hyperfixation that overpowers even your survival instincts

[north condor]

Caffeine is double edged sword lol

[tired furnace]

yeah, sometimes instead of stopping you from being tired it just makes you tired but also anxious

[north condor]

love the 50% chance of falling asleep mid day and flippin up your sleep schedule 💀

[charred cosmos]

omggg

[granite moth]

well I'd be damned

[fickle gorge]

Builds due today lads

I might be cooked😁

[rain current]

how do I put the submission xd?

[north condor]

https://discord.com/channels/865737627712749579/1373412904384331931

write it and click the + to add videos and images

[rain current]

oke

Kreee ur crazy xd

[tepid lichen]

dang that's awesome kree

[north condor]

also @coarse mica

[tepid lichen]

W

u should add longer vid too

[north condor]

for the details?

[tepid lichen]

Idk just showing it off more

[north condor]

kk

idk how to edit medias so ill prob just link to an oakspace post

[granite moth]

the way the wires are done is already an artwork by itself lol

[north condor]

do i need to redo the msg to add / change medias?

[tepid lichen]

That's fine I'm just interested in seeing more of it lol

[north condor]

kk

[tepid lichen]

If you want to sure

[north condor]

can i just send the vid under the first msg?

[tepid lichen]

Wiring looks insane lol

[north condor]

posted a full rotation

[tepid lichen]

I would maybe edit your like actual submission video to have a lot more of the rotation stuff, it's really cool

also that fan looks great lol

[north condor]

yeah that was fox's idea lol

[north condor]

the power up button actually make the fan start up by accelerating and slowing down when turned off

[north condor]

already at 29sec

[coarse mica]

yeah i made a quick animation on a random program lol

[tepid lichen]

I just realized lol you can see the game slow down by the random lcds slowing down 💀

[north condor]

if you wave your camera around you go to 2 fps

[inland patio]

did it fix itself?

im assuming it was just discord being discord

[tired furnace]

still lags for me

[inland patio]

the only thing I can think of is it being a file size thing

I could try exporting it again and making it smaller

see if that helps

[upper rapids]

This is what I was gonna do but I ran out of time

[inland patio]

dang that's sick

[north condor]

what are the black stripes?

[upper rapids]

Cause it used memories

And I wasn’t expecting it to work they way it did

I thought it would instantly reset the memories and stuff but that wasn’t the case

[coarse mica]

i mean, is it built?

[upper rapids]

?

[proud meteor]

@tepid lichen bit of an emergency, the video I uploaded to the submissions was bad quality, so I tried deleting it and reuploading a better quality one but it wont let me edit it into the post. What should I do?

[tepid lichen]

make another post

or just upload under

and leave old post

[proud meteor]

ill just upload the vid and reply to the old post if thats fine

[granite moth]

ah!! don't look at the wires!!!

[granite moth]

That was sick! Good job on that!

[proud meteor]

thanks

[granite moth]

pretty awesome display

the submissions were really fun to watch, good job y'all

[proud meteor]

@wet dew really cool submission with the marble clock, though im wondering how did you stop the marbles from anchoring midair?

[wet dew]

borderless conveyors behind it stop them from anchoring lol

also thank you

[proud meteor]

smart

[wet dew]

but if you are on a server with other people for some reason the marbles tend to phase through objects like the wall that is supposed to stop them and they even phase through each other which is really annoying because then they spill everywhere

the forbidden button

[proud meteor]

i want to press it

[wet dew]

please dont it took way too long to gamble to get all those large black and white marbles even tho ender spared me some from his gambling session 😭

[idle vortex]

I am cooked

[limpid lagoon]

i see what my marbles were used for @wet dew

[north condor]

@tepid lichen when will voting channel open?

[tepid lichen]

maybe later tn i need to edit everything into one video

[north condor]

kk

[wet dew]

do you want me to make a video with normal youtube format of mine or is the wide one fine?

[tepid lichen]

Its fine

[wet dew]

alright

[fickle gorge]

Real

[outer sage]

you better put watermelon tycoon in top 5!!

Also take votes using polls, in multiple rounds.
like choose top 10, then ask people to pick top 5 from them
then choose top 3 from them then top 2 and then winner

or may be 1 poll and add 10 options, the one with most votes win

[unreal umbra]

like last comp

https://discord.com/channels/865737627712749579/1345519082262368357

[outer sage]

idk, what happened in last? there was voting it was weird

[unreal umbra]

it was a poll

with 10 builds

[outer sage]

sad that para didn't even make top3 😭

its all about best photo 😭

[tired furnace]

let's get watermelon tycoon to first place

[tired furnace]

Eh this might be a dumb idea, but I think it'd be better if it was a google form, and people could rate every build

The problem with polls is that you can only pick one, which makes builds people have strong opinions on more likely to score better

[unreal umbra]

no

[tired furnace]

Also polls like to crowd every person into voting for just the two most likely contenders to try and get one to beat the other.

[unreal umbra]

polls can have what ever ammount

[tired furnace]

imma paint an oversimplified picture of what i mean...

If there's 3 builds contending, build A everyone loves, build B that half the people love and half the people hate, and build C that everyone likes a somewhat, most people will choose either build A, or build B if they happen to like it, but not many people will choose build C because they'll always prefer build B or A.
Build B will now have a higher score than build C, despite the fact that C had a general better reception

again, this is a gross oversimplification of what's going on

[idle vortex]

Omg do people really like it?

[tired furnace]

I certainly do, it's quite whimsical, and it keeps reminding me of that one video of watermelons going down a stream

https://tenor.com/view/melon-gif-11523853064743036806

[idle vortex]

Thank you so much!

[tired furnace]

also you were the first person to use the frame by frame animated displays in the entire comp

[idle vortex]

I did that building because uh....thats funny

[north condor]

would anyone buy project after the comp 💀?

i need cash 🤑

[idle vortex]

Hey your building is very cool

I don't know how to describe that

[north condor]

if i charged full price it'd be like 50mil

[idle vortex]

really????

[north condor]

current meta is ~500k/ hour

spent bit over 100 hours of work so ig 50mil

[idle vortex]

That's crazy

[north condor]

but if i sell i prob wont do 50mil lol

prob way less

[idle vortex]

You build is surely gonna win

[north condor]

RAW logic is like 3mil i think

[north condor]

we'ill see

[idle vortex]

Yea

[spiral inlet]

How would you SELL that though

(The logic)

[north condor]

area select does miracles

[spiral inlet]

No i mean like

[north condor]

people would need a big space lol

[spiral inlet]

how do you move logic to someone elses plot

without breaking it

[north condor]

select it all at once

it doesnt cut wires

[spiral inlet]

Wait, you can move whole sections of a build to someone elses plot?

[north condor]

yup

[spiral inlet]

wow

[north condor]

just need build perms

[coarse mica]

just make sure to select everything lol

one broken wire in there will be pain 🥀

[idle vortex]

Imagine just 1 wire broke and you need to guess which one

[north condor]

debugging machine are fun$

[idle vortex]

True

[tired furnace]

that sentence hurt to read

[north condor]

how so

[tired furnace]

I absolutely hate debugging anything

[north condor]

oh it's just something that spam all your wires one by one lol

[spiral inlet]

just be glad you don't have to section move a build with lights

neon lights

spoiler alert

[idle vortex]

Neon lights sucks

[spiral inlet]

you can't section move neon lights

[north condor]

uh?

[tired furnace]

I think it was little panda who had very strong opinions (of hatred) towards neon of any kinds

[idle vortex]

I made "wither storm" building with a lot of neon lights and I needed to move the entire building but..... you know what happened

[spiral inlet]

I tried section moving my build a few days ago and none of the neon lights got selected when I used section select

had to move them all separately

[north condor]

that's odd

[spiral inlet]

neon lights are bugged

you can't even build off of them

it's like they don't exist

[north condor]

also its weird you can select the brightness manually but only on / off with logic

[coarse mica]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lol

[north condor]

neeerrrddd

[charred cosmos]

we have 4 H ya guys ?

[proud meteor]

erm

[mortal spade]

4 hours ago

submissions are closed

[coarse mica]

who is going to tell him 🥀

[proud meteor]

I was gonna but i didnt have the heart to do it

[tepid lichen]

who has the most motion

[inland patio]

🤑

[north condor]

the motion is the friends we made along the way

[charred cosmos]

ya thx

[charred cosmos]

i konw but just repetit

[proud meteor]

true...

[coarse mica]

yup (?)

[north condor]

it freezes servers if i forget to turn it off before leaving..

[proud meteor]

💔

[north condor]

i broke the game 🥀

[coarse mica]

oh god

please tell me it didnt break the save

[north condor]

no lol dw

just take multiple hours to load if not turned off

[coarse mica]

thank god lol

[north condor]

and loads in a few sec when you manage to turn it off

[coarse mica]

oh damn

[charred cosmos]

jak we have 1 h or 6 h ?

@tepid lichen sorry ?

[tepid lichen]

you have 0 hours

deadline is past

[coarse mica]

no more submissions, time is over

[charred cosmos]

ok thx

[fickle gorge]

Imagine I get the last message like in the previous comp

[charred cosmos]

@tepid lichen we finesh it now pls can my frined send it ?

[north condor]

too late :/

[charred cosmos]

bro its realy just 30mis :{{ pls jak

[spiral inlet]

Sorry man the deadline ended 7 hours ago

[charred cosmos]

how ?

soo we cant :{

[spiral inlet]

The time for submissions was based upon that due date

[charred cosmos]

alr guys nvm and ty

[glad crow]

Yeah sadly it's you late for an actual submission but if you want to show it to us you can

[charred cosmos]

nvm nvm thx

[spiral inlet]

I was scared I'd forget so I posted a day earlier as a safeguard

[glad crow]

Gustav posted 1 min before deadline lol

[charred cosmos]

my friend open only like 1 h on the day and we start from 5 days

[spiral inlet]

I have no right to say anything about this because I do this with college stuff

[charred cosmos]

sure

when my friend rejoine :{

[spiral inlet]

Personally with competitions I try to aim for considering the due date as a full day earlier as insurance

[charred cosmos]

idk why we cant win the comp when this comp started me cant make anything but nvvm

ty guys see you

[spiral inlet]

You having 2 username colors threw me off for a second

[glad crow]

I'm just too dumb to use one account on 2 device

[spiral inlet]

oof

[tepid lichen]

no you are 7 hours late

[charred cosmos]

i see

can i give him ✅

[wet dew]

what can i say im just a professional procrastinator

(right when recording the video the machine bugged and the marbles spilled and i had to somehow get them all in the machine again quickly 😭 )

:D

[outer sage]

Buddy voting is messed up, why canni select more than 3 options. Thou as a decent voter i only voted 3 but people can select more than 3

[scarlet bloom]

how is the spaceflight sim not winning it is 100% the best

[tepid lichen]

that other one rlly cool too

pretty close

[outer sage]

It is not losing but since there are 20 people are lazy to look for good ones

[scarlet bloom]

yeah but the movement isnt even close to the amount spaceflight has

[outer sage]

Jak should have pick top 10 himself first xD

[scarlet bloom]

wdym, it is losing

[tepid lichen]

so much movement

[scarlet bloom]

like for #1

[tepid lichen]

Idk they both are really cool

[outer sage]

The nexus generators are really cool too

[scarlet bloom]

can we promote to vote something if we didnt create it

[outer sage]

Both the generator and spaceship are equal in my eyes

But geometry dash is superior but people are sleeping on it

[tepid lichen]

eh it's cool but I like the more 3d motion builds

[scarlet bloom]

but it only says no if you yourself made it

[tepid lichen]

yea just dont

[outer sage]

Its no for all, just don't rig it please

You can only encourage people to vote but not tell them which one to vote

[inland patio]

everyone sleeping on volcano obby smh

[scarlet bloom]

im not tryna rig it😭

[outer sage]

I like it, its fun, but there are some others that beats it in some other points

Honestly a lot of them are really great and i love that these people did this amazing job

[mortal spade]

it's winning because it's a genuinely good illusion of rotation in a 3d environment, alongside a good build for the details around

i didnt even think about making a rotation illusion

like that's just genuinely creative

but the nexus industrial package is also insane, the build quality + the use of doors as vents and particles

that one deserves it for the scale of the build, and could also be used in a practical setting possibly

3rd place seems to be a bit more in the air rn

[granite moth]

honestly those two are absolutely amazing

Distrubing

[tired furnace]

@tepid lichen I have spotted an issue in the video. build #13 is listed as "waterfall" by 1vrb0 but the build in the clip is "nice quiet day at the beach :)" by cookiebomber123456

at 5:39

[ebon holly]

Oh lol

[glad crow]

It's odd the marble display is not getting

that much recognition

Maybe because it's in the end

[tepid lichen]

Its a cool idea but I don't think it's very visually impressive to most

[north condor]

fairs

mechanics are cool

[outer sage]

The one gustav make?

Its nice logic considering how many colliders but it breaks often

Also low effort story line and surroundings

[idle vortex]

Watermelon tycoon isn't taking third place 😭

[tired furnace]

I mean, i hope it does, mainly cause oakgate command's appeal 90% comes from the editing even though the rules said to keep editing to a minimum

[idle vortex]

Idk it's still cool tho

[granite moth]

my personal top 3 is..

1. Nexus Industrial Package
2. Spaceship Flight Sim
3. Desert Train

my top 1 might be biased because I kinda prefer mechanical stuff x]

though I'll also say that it's super impressive, I don't see any logic blocks or wirings despite being compact

and uhh

it looks awesome.

same with spaceship flight sim

the panorama is slick with the little details surrounding it

the ambience really sells it for me

the desert train is charming

[mortal spade]

the cacti are a really nice touch

good use of conveyors

[north condor]

choo choo

[proud meteor]

@tepid lichen will there be a summer competition?

[outer sage]

We need to do something

[outer sage]

No

Halloween is what we want

[idle vortex]

There's nothing we can do

[north condor]

A general logic comp would be cool

like a retro themed or sum

[granite moth]

logic comp where you make traps 😱

actually that would end up being errr

[north condor]

just a bunch of colliders lol

[granite moth]

yeah

[spiral inlet]

that and there really aren't enough moving parts to make a good looking one anyway

Conveyors, Flat Doors, Sliding Doors, Pistons

Not really that many, and they all have very large minimum size limits

[north condor]

there's so many possibility for logic comp

software / games / minigames

[idle vortex]

What about ships competition

[charred cosmos]

ya but stell we need comptition

[outer sage]

true

[upper rapids]

I’m waiting for another cool comp like this lol

[idle vortex]

Hold on

I'm at the third place again

[idle vortex]

Maybe there is

[tepid lichen]

its so close

3rd and 4th

and 1st/2nd

only 5 votes apart

[outer sage]

water melon is back on 3rd :3

[coarse mica]

damn, 5 votes off from 1st place and 3rd place is tied

btw for how long will the votes be open for? @tepid lichen

[north condor]

3 days

[coarse mica]

ah ok

[idle vortex]

Vro 41 votes on both builds

[tired furnace]

next competetion: stillness

your build must look like its not moving at all

logic is not allowed

houses with moving doors and vehicles with flickering lights are an exception, you can submit those

[north condor]

blender default cube

[tired furnace]

ironically i already have a very cool idea for stillness

cause you can do stuff like build individual particles of dust in the air as tiny spheres

and still water

I mean water that is so still it's surface acts as a mirror (you just have to build the entire god damn scene upside down)

[upper rapids]

Why not

[tawdry quartz]

@molten tapir

[mortal spade]

my submission will be to watch paint dry

[tired furnace]

do i really have to explain the joke

On the motion competetion using logic was highly encouraged, as most forms of oaklands motion are logic based.

Therefore the stillness competetion (polar opposite of motion) will not allow logic at all

[north condor]

too much movement

i'd suggest making an observation of the ratio of carbon-12 and carbon-14

[upper rapids]

i got the joke

but the logic part was kinda confusing cause

logic can be used for still things lol

[coarse mica]

What happens if there is a tie? Another voting?

[coarse mica]

With only the 2 tied projects in the voting

[upper rapids]

ill just vote last second

dont worry

[coarse mica]

Pluh

[upper rapids]

which would then mean im the one who chose 1st place

lol

[coarse mica]

Evil, absolute evil

[tepid lichen]

I crash out

bro why is it all so close

[coarse mica]

[tepid lichen]

nah Ill just change my vote last minute so it's not

[coarse mica]

btw i just noticed i can vote in multiple projects lol

[coarse mica]

evil, both of you

[tepid lichen]

Yes it says to pick your top 3

[coarse mica]

i didnt know you could vote multiple, i didnt read it lol

[mortal spade]

common trend

[upper rapids]

i think everyone should unvote in the last second

making them all 0

[coarse mica]

Nuh uh

[inland patio]

i agree

spin a wheel to get a winner 🔥

[fickle gorge]

[tired furnace]

LETS GO GAMBLING

aw dangit aw dangit aw dangit aw dangit aw dangit

[north condor]

🥀 🥀 🥀

[coarse mica]

So close

[coarse mica]

Yet so far

[north condor]

oh

[spiral inlet]

oh

[tepid lichen]

bro

💀

[unreal umbra]

they wernt

[coarse mica]

[north condor]

https://tenor.com/view/what-gif-2786175780991966991

[unreal umbra]

wow

wait wth

where did yt rank go

[tepid lichen]

they both too good

[unreal umbra]

o it got lowerd

[tepid lichen]

contrib is higher

[north condor]

just give us both 1.5 place

[tepid lichen]

apparently

[unreal umbra]

lol

[unreal umbra]

it should be

[tepid lichen]

wait who built other one i forgot

😭

[spiral inlet]

i built nexus

[tepid lichen]

yes

ok

do you guys wanna share 1st or revote

[north condor]

i built the magic spaceship of very goodness

[spiral inlet]

share 1st

[unreal umbra]

the forge was at 46

[tepid lichen]

like just do poll of you 2 only

[north condor]

id be happy to share

[tepid lichen]

ok thatll work

[unreal umbra]

96*

[north condor]

https://tenor.com/view/kdrama-handshake-shaking-hands-gif-26102712

[tepid lichen]

it was really close anyways

[coarse mica]

Why not add up 2nd and 1st polls and divide to each of the projects?

[tepid lichen]

so was 3rd there was like 6 differnt ones very close lol

[unreal umbra]

im so glad car wash beat mellon farm

[tepid lichen]

what

[atomic oasis]

You all rocked at your builds, just saying. Congrats!

[unreal umbra]

that was a 1 point change

[coarse mica]

I mean, it was a tie between 1st and 2nd

[tepid lichen]

yea

[north condor]

do we make a ticket for the rewards?

[unreal umbra]

didnt we have a comp with two 1st places?

[tepid lichen]

no ill dm you later

[north condor]

kk

[tepid lichen]

im gonna do it after update cuz im kinda busy rn

if thats okay with you guys

[north condor]

alright

[spiral inlet]

good luck!

[coarse mica]

Yippee alright

[spiral inlet]

yeah that's fine!

[north condor]

ive been happy to compete with you fine gentlemen

[coarse mica]

Yeah this comp was my first one and it was sick 🔥

[north condor]

yup

[spiral inlet]

I'm actually surprised the Solo builds did the best

I was expecting the group builds to get even more votes

Oakgate Command did really well though

[merry sonnet]

insane builds from everyone grats to all those that participated

[unreal umbra]

oop

[tepid lichen]

wrong one ked

[unreal umbra]

wrong link thing

[tepid lichen]

SMH

[unreal umbra]

i wanted to link this

but i forworded

mb

[spiral inlet]

still works lol

[unreal umbra]

is there no 2nd place trophy

[spiral inlet]

sometimes just linking causes some weird discord issues where it doesn't go to it

[unreal umbra]

for this event

[tepid lichen]

oh

[unreal umbra]

i guess no 2nd place prize

[tepid lichen]

well in most like

competitions

if you have a tie you skip a place

[unreal umbra]

a

i was just confuzed

[north condor]

i really liked the wave stuff some build had

cause i could see it actually being used

in alot of builds

[unreal umbra]

same with fan

alot of door stuff

[spiral inlet]

There were actually 2 types of fans used in this competition

[unreal umbra]

sliding doors and doors

[spiral inlet]

most people just used a flat door one which works but you can't change the speed and it flipflops

[unreal umbra]

doors just one and done

[unreal umbra]

ye

[spiral inlet]

I made a custom one with sliding doors that the speed can be controlled

[unreal umbra]

if you can dms rq

[north condor]

oh did you see the billboard one there was in the ship?

[spiral inlet]

billboard?

I must've missed it

[north condor]

it slows down when you turn it off and speeds up to turn on

[north condor]

check on the roof in the first part

i dont think you can see the 2nd one

[coarse mica]

Yeah i made a quick gif of a fan and we just slowed it down when turning off the main switch

Looked pretty cool in game

[north condor]

that one poor tether from the fading thingy supporting 95% of the displays 🥀

he won't be forgotten

[coarse mica]

lol

Working overtime

[inland patio]

ggs people

W builds overall

[spiral inlet]

ggs for oakgate command btw, that battle for 3rd was between at least 4 builds

[unreal umbra]

mine was in running for a bit

[spiral inlet]

How'd you do the clean car transition? Just a hidden spawner?

You did it so well that someone would have to know how the game works to even guess how you did it

[unreal umbra]

lol

thx

i live streamed the entire build on my yt

im in bed atm so i dont want to explain it all

but if you watch the first part of last stream you can see

[idle vortex]

[granite moth]

gg

[spiral inlet]

GG's everyone, I hope we can get even more moving / modifiable parts in the future!

Some of the biggest difficulties in this competition for me were the very restrictive minimum and maximum size limits on stuff like sliding doors and regular doors.

Maybe we can get those minimum limits reduced and maximum size limits increased in addition to getting more moving part options like:

• Being able to change the opening / closing speed of both sliding doors and flat doors
• Get an alternative version of the sliding door that has no stripes and no handle
• Be able to change the degree angle of a door by either input power or just a manual setting like the speed of pistons
• An opacity modifier block (like the collider but instead of toggling collision, it changes the transparency of everything in the defined box)

As well as maybe the ability to replicate entire logic circuits with the replicate command if we have enough of the logic parts in boxes on our plot so we don't have to manually build a duplicate circuit by hand. (Or just being able to properly section replicate an entire build instead of having to manually do the logic)

[spiral inlet]

The size limits for the sliding doors in particular are really annoying due to how restrictive it is. Only allowing the smallest size of 4x4 studs (excluding door thickness) and the thickness of the door being maxed out at just 1 stud which in practice only is .5 studs since the door is half the width of the bounding box.

It makes trying to do smaller scale stuff with them nearly impossible unless you can recess it into a wall or floor which isn't always possible in a build.

[tired furnace]

i was hoping either I or the watermelon or even the geometry dash could take over oakgate

next time there's a contest requiring "minimal editing" in a video I'll make sure to add music and cinematic cuts anyways cause clearly they matter

[upper rapids]

Yea

[mortal spade]

yeah oakgate didn't seem very complicated logic wise, the editing definitely carried it

[upper rapids]

the amount of detail on the portal was kinda random

[tender pike]

[coarse mica]

Yeah an opacity modifier would be great, i suggested it in my "logic update" oaksuggestion since it would fit in with the collider and interactor, but it might act weirdly with glass or such

[upper rapids]

wouldnt act weirdly with glass

[coarse mica]

Glass is just a material, you need to set it down to like 0.5 in roblox, but if something else changes it then it might look weird

[upper rapids]

would still look normal though

like if i set it to 10% transparent it will just be 10% transparent

[fickle gorge]

Borp

[coarse mica]

I mean, it might still look weird, but there would need to be testing

[upper rapids]

i guess

[granite moth]

the way roblox handles transparency is weird so it would act weirdly

you've seen it with the grabbers and transparent materials, there are some cases where the z offset would look reversed or some stuff (I forgot where I've seen this but it happened with some accessories I found back then)

[tired furnace]

Can you explain the reversed Z-offset one or show a pitcure, you might be talking about something in software development called backface culling, which is actually an intended feature of roblox

[granite moth]

oh not backface culling

it's more like Object A in front of you with like half transparency and Object B behind Object A with also half transparency and it shows that Object B looks infront or inside Object A

[tired furnace]

oh

[coarse mica]

Yeah i have seen it a lot in forums, something with 2 transparent objects glitching, such as glass or water or images

[fickle gorge]

Borp

[north condor]

rip @unreal umbra

[upper rapids]

why

[spiral inlet]

What's the 2nd car (from right to left)

[north condor]

no clue

[tired furnace]

the one that is weirdly cube shaped?

[plush temple]

not related to the competition but i wanted to ask how one would make a drawbridge or just a big door in general?

[fickle gorge]

When is this closing?

[spiral inlet]

soon™️

[coarse mica]

Never

[spark dock]

hello guys

[spiral inlet]

the silence is deafening

[fickle gorge]

Real

[north condor]

@tepid lichen check this out

motion

[tepid lichen]

yo what

???

[north condor]

privacy glass

[tepid lichen]

forgot that was a thing lol

[north condor]

this is in a simple pattern but with a bit more effort you can spin any shape

[scarlet bloom]

howwwww

oh nvm

lol

[proud meteor]

wait thats actually smart lol

[tired furnace]

As soon as i saw the glass i knew what was going on

Using glass to make stuff invisible is one of my favorite roblox tricks

[last trellis]

aw man if I had known this was happening I'd send in my Stargate build

[tired furnace]

Builds for this comp had to be specifically built for it, it wasn't allowed to post old builds

[coarse mica]

Why did i just 🧍‍♂️

[spiral inlet]

Oh nice, I could swap out my sliding doors for that and make em see through!

[north condor]

yup

[spiral inlet]

At least, if you can change the material

Never used privacy glass before

[north condor]

setting up the interactor is painful

[spiral inlet]

Oh ho ho buddy

[north condor]

ah no that's the only way they can look

[spiral inlet]

I know that one already ;)

[spiral inlet]

Each fan blade of my build uses 2 interactors

So uh... Rip my sanity

[north condor]

i have a hologram display project since the 3d renderer i made already outputs 3d coordinate but setting up the 1000 interactors would be torture

[spiral inlet]

I did like 160+ of them for my build

[north condor]

then you try moving the logic

[spiral inlet]

I actually did that

Basically I did the fan circuit separately, the activation sequence separately, and the smoke stack sequence seperately
