so welcome to office hours. This is prime time.
There are gonna be other office hours.
But just so you're aware this is prime time, Um, this is gonna be usually half hour,
but during launch week, I'm happy to go an hour or however long There are questions.
I know it's been a while since we've talked about various things here on prime time.
Um,
it's a time where I'm available and you guys can talk to me and and and ask questions.
Oh, you can't talk to me. But we might invite people up on the stage.
We'll see how it goes. I don't know.
Um, keep the questions in text first. Um,
and I just sit here and answer them. Um, it's your time to ask me questions.
I'm not gonna tell you I'm busy. I'm not gonna tell you that I'm doing other stuff.
I'm just gonna be here answering those questions.
Uh, other office hours that might be coming up include, um, Moderations.
You can ask moderation questions. I've heard that, uh,
S wants to start up their office hours.
Uh, they're gonna do theirs more infrequently. Um, I just do random questions.
So it's a little bit easier to fill the air time.
But when they're just doing graphics, it's sort of like once
a
once a month, etcetera. I've also heard things about a, um
uh,
what's the word? I'm looking for graphics, um, stuff like that.
So, uh, Kromer, uh,
who made our fantastic new logo that I see everyone really enjoying
is also probably gonna have a session at some point again.
That'll be infrequent, though, because there's less to talk about.
So we're gonna go ahead and, uh, take a look at those questions.
If you've got any additional questions, drop them in.
If you have no idea why you're here, you're here listening to me to answer your, um,
resonate questions,
Uh, as a quick reminder here, there are going to be some questions I can't answer.
I'm just going to say I can't answer it, and I'm gonna move on.
Please respect that, Uh,
note that I'm not gonna answer them no matter how much you rant and rave.
So just
let's get going.
Uh, so red kits or lakeside miners asks, How does it feel not to keep a
secret anymore? It's It's kind of great. Um We had a
hard time with it. Really? You know, we had ND a out to people.
We had lots of secrecy, a couple of accidents as well.
Where, uh, some stuff got leaked. Including, like a previous name.
We need to talk about it.
But, you know, a previous name that we were going to call this place, uh,
got leaked at one point, et cetera.
I think there was a twitch stream crash where, like,
the game crashed and we went down to desktop.
And the logo was there,
um, et cetera. So, you know, lots of fun. Now.
There are still, of course, stuff we can't talk about like I mentioned, of course,
but
it's getting less and less,
Uh, particularly after launch. It's, you know, it's pretty much gonna be sort of.
It's all there. Go play. So it's It's really fun.
Um, Clime asks.
Sorry, I'm having digestive issues for a second.
Let me just hick up off camera a few times, set off camera. I mean, off mic
for whatever. Um,
cliver says how well did the transition of what I
assume the core user base go from your perspective?
Uh, we've had a lot of people flood in. Um, from the early access waves, et cetera.
Uh, I still wouldn't call that transition over. That will be over.
Sort of maybe a month after, um, after releasing after shipping.
Um, so it's gonna be good to see how that happens.
Uh,
where I'm really happy about how many people we've got progressively through in,
um, earlier access, et cetera,
Um, making sure that we don't have, you know, a million people.
Uh, jumping jumping at the gate on day one would be great.
You might just have, like, 500,000 rather than a million people.
I'm exaggerating those numbers, but you know what I mean?
It's like less people, Uh,
because we've done a little bit of sort of pre baking baked goods.
Uh, moving forwards. ZRA says, How excited are you?
I actually had, like, a a difficult time sleeping last night because, like,
my brain was just, like, over excited.
Um, many, many things going on. So yeah, we'll launch in on on on Friday. Is it Friday,
66.
Whatever day the sixth is, it looks like it's Friday. Sorry, I.
I don't usually remember the days of the week. Right now, it's
difficult to do so because all the day is blurring into one because it's launched.
But yeah. Friday.
Uh, So we got the launch on Friday.
I made a last minute decision and just threw money at
my monitor until I could end up going to BLFC.
So I will be at BFFC.
I have no plans.
Currently,
I'm aware that there are some events which I'll end up going
to because they are very resonate all the other dog studios affiliated.
Uh, but it was all last minute and so it was just like
I booked everything.
Um, I'm also adopting a dog. I've got an application, and,
uh, so, like, everything is happening all at once.
So I had a difficult time sleeping yesterday because I was like,
I have so much to do for the launch and for dog prep, event prep and all sorts of stuff.
I also have a difficult time figuring out where my flights are like I.
I add them to my calendar,
but that I look at them like 400 times before I actually get on the plane.
I come at the gate and I'm like, is this the right gate until I get on the plane I'm like,
Is this the right gate?
It's It's
difficult.
I'm a seasoned traveller, but I still have the stare at my phone confusingly problem
moving forward to, uh,
a question. Who asks?
I know the headless client is not fully working till after launch.
Is this sort of rough and non binding ETA on that? I've got an update today.
Um, might have some some improvements there, uh,
today Not entirely sure if that'll clear up all of the problems.
I know that there's, um, a few issues working there.
Uh, there is a lot of,
like switches and and and,
uh,
leathers and buttons and like check boxes and stuff that
we need to push as we go towards launching Resonate.
So it's important that we we click and push all of those.
Sometimes there isn't an exact order, and sometimes you might forget stuff,
but sort of in and around the sixth,
I predict that you'll get the the headless working.
There are workarounds for all the issues that people are currently having.
I'm aware it's problematic at like I wish we didn't have
as many as these levers and switches that we need.
But what we do,
um
I'm gonna do a terrible job at pronouncing this next person's name. I apologise.
I'm going to do my best.
Cla,
Peter Clapper. Peter, Just We'll go with that. II.
I hope that you're an amazing person. I'm sure you are.
So I'm gonna go ahead and read your question
now and move on from my terrible pronunciation.
Uh, how? Well, how will the wiki handle itself?
Is that if that's been decided,
I mean more so in the sense of having
automatic document documentation and manual player edited documentation.
Uh, so I am standing up the wiki, uh, for the most part, for like, as soon as it's ready,
it's gonna be more textual based things.
I want a list of all the commands I want to list all the patreon stuff.
I want a list of just sort of all the things that you need to know that
aren't really technical when it goes beyond that to
things like proto flux or component based documentation.
That is what I want to try and get automated. I don't really know. Um
uh, What's going on there? I don't know if the wiki is going to be the long term home.
Uh,
but my commitment still exists to copy and paste
your documentation to wherever it needs to go.
I'm getting a ping somewhere else. Um, let me just double check that,
OK? Cool.
I should use many, many discords whilst you do that,
because now I'm I've always scrolled all the way down,
So I think that's that question done.
Uh,
magic says which feature if any of the team
take particular in completing before the release date.
And what technical challenges did you face in achieving it?
I'm proud of a lot of features that we have. User blocking was was great.
Um, there's more to do in that area, but, um, it was good that we could get you know,
something in there.
Um, I'm really proud of how the the U I ti took shape like that was very quick.
Um, the the facets were being reworked by the content team,
and then suddenly they existed and they were there, and I'm like, they look great
now.
Of course,
there's still improvements to be made across the board on
everything that we're doing of course like nothing is finished.
Uh, but I'm I'm I'm proud of sort of the way that things are are trending.
Um,
yeah,
uh, moving forwards. Dog bolt said that there were a lot of tutorials on YouTube.
Um, yes, I plan to make additional tutorials on YouTube.
Um,
I don't sure what I'm doing. My channel a channel update at some point later on, um
and, uh, I'll figure out what I'm doing now.
I need to rerecord a bunch anyway, so I'm just, like,
make a bunch of bunch of tutorials.
I might have AAA group of tutorials. I need to record, like, every year.
That might be fine.
Just to keep things fresh. Um
yo,
tasks, Um, what was the reason for naming, uh, logics to proto
fox?
Uh, logics is not proto.
Uh, Loic does not exist on
reignite. It has been completely,
um, doesn't exist. It's not part of of resin.
Proto Fox is a completely new system, completely distinct, completely
original,
and has nothing to do with the old system.
Uh, moving forwards.
Bad haler and ninja asks why the change to having user ID Group ID is now a snowflake,
which just random instead of a normalised user name.
Uh, that used to be a AGU ID, which is very long and difficult to type.
So we had a conversation as a team
and we went for a snowflake. ID, that is, I think it's like Base 62.
It's not like regular base 64.
It's like it's It's a weird encoding to make it shorter.
Um, the goal there is to make it still unique, but easier to type.
Uh, trust me, you don't want to be typing GU. I DS It's just like, uh,
it's like
it's like reading your credit card number. That's how long those things get.
It's just like what? What? Like what part of it am I on? No, no.
So we try to keep them as small as possible.
Uh, we changed those up because we kept having issues.
Um, issues range from moderation to name changes.
We even had the sort of, uh, dead name problem.
We've got a lot of people who, you know, rename, um, uh, their their user name.
And then they get their old name.
Sometimes there's a dead name left behind in their user ID.
So we, uh, made that decision to make, um, just randomly generated user. I DS, um,
on the moderation side.
If you had a bad word in your user ID, we couldn't do anything about that.
Uh, and then be
ninja has a second question.
Uh, what are the new user session? ID SI think it's the right name?
They're available in the user inspector and the verified joint request node.
I'm not entirely sure I'd have to take a look in that one. I will park that one.
Let me go ahead and and and just react to that with an emoji that no one else can use.
And then I'll come back to it
here. We'll use angry bunny, and I'll come back to it a little bit later.
Um,
of course, you can follow up with the reaction once I've used it.
Got it? Yeah. Forgot about that.
Uh,
Maddie says I see that people have begun to stream
resonate on twitch is the Would you kindly not.
Caveat of the
key being raised.
It is a Would you kindly not.
There's no way that we can prevent people from doing that.
That isn't a legal requirement. They're happy.
They're happy to ignore it if they want. We don't want them to.
But if they do, there's not really much we can do. So we're not really.
It's not that we're not fussed. We are still asking you to. Would you kindly not,
Um,
But it isn't my job or anyone else on the team's
job to go police that we're not going to go.
I don't know. Snipe you from the heavens or something?
Um, Mr Square Peg says a bit of a question.
I like measurements.
Sometimes people are like, a little question, a silly question.
There are no silly questions, by the way. A small question, A big question.
Um,
this is just a tiny bit of a question.
Does Resonate have a collusion and network culling?
Uh, we do not have those,
um,
I I would love if we did, but we do not.
Um, there are many, uh,
occlusion and culling systems that are in play from the community.
I would love to make a,
um native one that you can just sort of slap down in a resonate world and be like, Boom,
we've got culling because right now there's sort of
a difficulty making that right?
You have to know how to get one and put it into the world.
Or you have to know a person that can do that for you or you have to build your own.
And that leads to a lot of sort of confusing matters sometimes,
uh, run time.
Ask some game communities have a small model section in their official discord.
Is this something the Resonate team has any interest in doing?
Uh, we might bring that back. We're having a lot of difficulty that are non
I don't want to use this word, but you know what I mean. I'm sorry.
Sometimes I just run out of the words that I
are suitable. I am on the spot here. Mainstream channels,
our mainstream channels, um, are good.
But we're having trouble with some of the sort of edge case channels,
like edgy science tutorials, et cetera,
where people just think they're off topic and they're just not.
We're also seeing that with the forum threads as well.
Like there's a forum thread topic about,
I don't know,
help me get my user name correctly registered,
and people are talking about butterflies in it, and it's just like What are you doing
like that? That's incorrect.
Stop! Um, particularly when it's in the questions and help forum.
Once the question is answered, we should just stop conversation, right?
Because every post in that question is gonna detract more and more
from that that question answer and make it difficult to find.
Um, runtime says, can we expect to see a similar mod plug in policy for Resonate? Um,
yes. Uh,
I just need to get that uploaded. Um, you can read the
and the terms of service and you'll notice that there's no forbidding uh, decom
in there anymore. There are still some on on, um, distribution, which is important.
Um, so still do the the mod thingy where, you know,
you hook into wherever the hell you can find our DLL S.
Uh, that's,
uh,
uh OK, I'm on question. Three of runtime, you see, like what?
What size would you allocate runtime list?
If Mr Square Pegs question was a bit then is run times like a bucket.
I don't know.
Um,
runtime says, Are there any changes incoming?
You think the modern community should be aware of, uh, none that I'm aware of?
I apologise for, like, half the crap being broken.
Um,
Question four is could the moderators please be a bit more aggressive in tutorials?
Yeah, I'm I'm miffed by that one.
I'm miffed by that one because, like, I am the tutorial person,
I'm very busy right now, but I see that that that channel as just being like,
I have made a tutorial here, learn it.
But it's turning into sort of like, let's talk about butterflies. It's like, Nope.
Um,
uh, Your next question. You got to skip that one. nope. Can't answer that one.
says, do you have a list of new things we can do? Uh, there is no,
like change log that we're gonna be able to compile.
Unfortunately, uh, change logs will be up and running. Going forward.
Um,
Gabriel
says, will it be focus on improving character interaction,
such as being able to meet the other people by pushing and pulling?
That's difficult, depending on what you're referring to.
So we already have, like, pushing and pulling in terms of, like, dynamic bones.
Uh, you can push and pull people using physics nodes and stuff like that.
But remember, always remember consent.
I think you mean more sort of like physics based interactions,
which you have to wait for our physics feature.
Our full rigid body physics feature.
Uh, following up from that, we have, uh,
how the latency be for F BT inter interactions for actions like fighting,
dancing and acting.
I hear various things about
our, um IK compared to other people's IK. Now I know that there are IK issues.
I actually think there's an IK question lower on in the in the question list,
but we're purely talking about the latency.
I think our latency is better in some cases and worse in some other cases.
So it's important that,
like a good example of it being worse is the
way that dynamic bones get when a session is lacking.
They just turn into like,
uh,
like a loose, uh, a loose table cloth in the wind.
Um, but
I think generally,
like it's it's less latency than than maybe other platforms might have.
Uh, the spectre lemon is the first and unfortunate, um, victim of the When question.
Um, when you answer when questions, um, it's very important
to, uh, keep in mind that,
uh,
sorry, just give me a second. Too many pings. It's a very busy week
now. Scroll all the way down. Now,
Um,
yeah, when you ask when questions, they're very difficult to answer,
particularly for a product that has not launched.
As you can hear, I'm distracted because there's things coming in all the time.
There's stuff I need to look at and resolve. And
but I not switches, levers,
cables. Um,
it's very much
there's this, like problem in in computing referred to as bike shedding.
It's like when you're trying to build like a facility or building.
But you're talking about the bike shed.
It's like, Well, how do the sewer systems work? How will the electricity work?
Yes, but what colour is the bike shed?
Um, and and so sometimes questions like when can feel a little bit like that, like
we expect to have a road map together soon.
That will give you some idea of what we're working on and when,
but I can't provide estimates for ETA S on any individual features.
You'll get the same spiel every time we ask when,
um,
second question from SPECTRE is will we have
the option to change an object's physics type.
And whether
or
not so that's rigid body physics. Which Gabriel I was asking about again.
That'll be on our road
map. I hear you when and where We're working on that.
Where? Yes.
Welcome to Sweden. We're going to do physics in Sweden.
We'll do. I don't know.
The eventually work. We'll do.
We'll do in Iceland.
Maybe one day.
I used to work, uh, for mixer, which is a streaming platform,
and they actually had a development. Uh, give me a second. Must a hiccup off off mic.
Um, they had a development event in Berlin
that was back before mixer got renamed.
And so it was called Beam, and it was Beam Berlin. It was good.
They just brought the entire engineering team to an
Airbnb in Berlin and develop some cool stuff.
Maybe we'll do that one day. They're kind of cool team building.
Let's build like a tower out of straws and then like
it or
or maybe, like, drop an egg down the stairwell and have it not break using
crap that we found in the recycling bin, um, team building.
Uh, let's move on to different questions before I get too off.
Distracted by egg dropping.
Um, little helper. I could see so many people typing.
We're gonna be here a while, Guys,
Are you in for the
Are you in for the right?
A little help for us. Uh,
whilst I can expect there'll be more fleshed out tutorials and guides in the future.
Can we expect to see more hands on
mentors that are well versed in understanding of proto
components and the like? We will be able to assist throughout the day.
Um, there are a lot of people who are very well versed in stuff that has, um,
available now, prof components, etcetera.
Um,
the mentor programme is still starting up.
You can think of that like a ranking an engine,
right? You know, when you have to, like, crank it up, it is getting there.
Um, but it's still spinning up.
Um,
I'm very proud of what they're doing and and seeing
all the mentors signing up and taking a look.
Um, there will be people to help you that are knowledgeable in all areas.
But sometimes you'll need,
um, a particular
person for a particular topic. Um,
to do, ask around. There's usually someone that can help out.
Uh, of course, the ultimate way to do that is to
come here and ask questions.
Moving forward, Turk asked, is going to be any disclosure on some of how some
who who let me put my English mouth back in.
Is there ever going to be any disclosure on how some of the early testers were picked?
I'd like for disinformation and speculation to be cleared up on this.
It's cause some genuine discomfort and social
issues in the community for obvious reasons.
Uh,
to combat disinformation,
I need to know what the disinformation and speculation is.
So maybe, like reply to your message there and let me know what's going on. I'll.
I'll clear it up, uh, to be clear before that happens.
Yes, there were earlier testing waves. There are a bunch of earlier testing waves.
They had various names, various distinctions, various purposes, various types,
various restrictions.
Um,
it's never any hard feelings.
It's just like at some point we need testers and we got to choose who right?
So if if it felt exclusive in any way, it's just we had to pick people,
and in some cases,
some people will be left out and may feel discomfort from that.
But it's it's not intentional. It's just a, you know, a fact of life. Um,
the let's say there's a building and we can only fit
100 people into it and 200 people to show up.
Only 100 people can win.
Sometimes it's just the way the world works.
But I'm happy to sort of comment on any sort of specific Pacific. You know what I mean?
Uh, speculation or disinformation? There's a few words I just can't say.
It's strange like that. Anyway, moving forward.
Uh, why, I ask, will there be a Hubble similar for feature requests and bug reports?
Yes, actually, uh, shifty and I were working on that this morning.
Actually, shifty was doing most of the heavy lifting there.
Uh, she's doing a fantastic job and is hoping to get going with some triaging. I know.
I'm gonna have to say this like, 400 million times, as is shifty,
but when you are posting on that when it's available as much detail as possible and a
log file and make sure to include any details you can think of that would be helpful.
Sometimes we got, um,
bug reports. Historically, that were
just in actionable.
And, uh, we actually be sort of working out a strategy to deal with those, um,
like maybe closing the issue.
If there's just not any information or something like that,
we'll we'll figure out how to communicate that.
So you don't feel like you're being ignored. It's not like we're ignoring you.
It's like we've asked for more information.
You have not provided it within a certain time period.
Maybe we'll close out the issue.
Still don't know what the exact plan there, though, is,
uh, still asks how the new ayc
features work in proto
under the hood.
Uh,
are they actually being sent to other threads of the
CP or is it more like javascript A sync?
The process just waits for the code
to complete before discarding variables and such.
I wasn't aware that javascript ayc
was like that. I thought javascript
ayc was
better than that.
Um, I would have to take a look at the proto fo
internals. Uh, for those who don't know what proto
is, proto foxes are no based visuals.
Language. Um, that resonate has, um and it is really, really cool in the,
uh it is its own language. Um, it is not
as tied to, um, resonate as some people might believe, et cetera.
It could run on its own if you really wanted to.
You could probably make
proto
run in doom.
I mean, there'll be a of compiler issues because doom is very old now.
But, like, you know, you, you could run it in another game.
Let's put it into Hello, Kitty on my adventure.
Which, by the way, was an amazing MMO that shut down. I'm so disappointed about that.
Apologies that I can't answer that question. It's just, uh
that is one of the deepest, um, abysses of cool,
technical stuff that I just haven't had time to dig into.
I know how the basic systems work, and I know how to use it and write proto flux.
But when it comes to the actual sort of, um,
I guess engine that proto fox is, um, as a language, I
fruits type some magic words into the computer.
And then his eyes glowed blue and the lightning struck
the the the Monitor and then proto
fox existed. It was very cool.
Um, Spectre lemon, um, follows up some questions on modding.
What would happen if there is a plan for
another feature that was already created as a mod?
I do request that, um, answering the second question is well here,
which is Should users be encouraged to create a
issue? Yes. Uh, once the issue tracker is open, please make up issues for your mods.
Sometimes, um, they're really easy to fix.
Um, a good example here is, uh,
people had previously requested the ability to remove
a material from a material or more easily.
We got that. Now there's the eject.
We had a lot of debate about what to call that option. It was called Drop or for a bit.
And then it was called, like,
I don't know, something else that we just settled on eject.
And it got me a lot because we needed to eject in the code, ejecting the low
and ejecting the icons.
So it was just like PR S just kept being open with the word eject in them.
And it became a kind of me,
um, moving forward.
Uh,
Linux
asks. Uh, are there any plans to add better passing into the resonant
proto flux
nodes. Uh, example, Jason CS, V and XML.
Uh, yes,
all of those require a feature to be added to proto flux
that allows it to handle arrays and other forms of collections.
So
the reason behind that is that Jason CS, V and XML are basically unbounded.
What I mean bounded by that is like, if I give you
if I give you one Jason snippet,
you can make assumptions about that Jason snippet like that.
Jason Snippet only has three values in it.
All of those three values are cheese related.
Then you could write a piece of code that could access that Jason snippet.
But if you want to access unbound adjacent,
which is Jason that you can't know about ahead of time,
then you need, um, you need array handling, object handling, Um, things like that.
You can't
you can't do that without it.
Because suddenly that simple Jason snippet,
which is just three values that are all about cheese,
turns into an array of cheese facts that goes on for like pages and pages and pages.
And there needs to be some way to access that.
That makes sense that isn't hacky.
Uh, BMAL
asks, can we expect more example items to show off?
Simple proto flux and components used to be added The main resonate folder.
Yes, Um, the content team, um, actually have some examples, Of course,
in the cloud home and the tutorial.
Um, all the items there are built using proto fox, for example.
You can take a look at the, uh, good friend of mine, uh, was playing with the
the spinny. I don't know what it's called.
It's the handle with the pull cord that sends
the little round spinny thing into the air.
You can go ahead, take a look at that. See how that works.
The crossbow is also another good, um, good thing, as is the teleporter because,
like that teleporter is a meeting.
Uh, so do take a look at that one.
and then an abysmal second question.
Uh,
since there was such a focus on the U I and tools we work can we expect the parity of
the VR and desktop mode to be priority so that
things like the material tool can be used to equip,
uh,
swap materials more easily and fast editing
actually works on the swapping material.
Los. Try the eject feature.
It's good I know that there's something else that people
want commonly referred to in the modern world as,
like autos, Coop or something.
I didn't have time to get that in. I might have time to get that in later. I don't know.
Roadmap TBD, et cetera.
Uh, Rex
says upon release,
will the headless client be able to start up without requiring steam to running?
Yes.
Like I said previously, about that we are flipping switches, connecting cables.
Um,
you know,
pushing buttons as quickly as we can.
Um, on or around the release date and bear in mind that the release date is the sixth.
So we're already on or around.
Uh, that will be removed. It will be in the change log. I'm sure, uh, Linux
asks.
Do you think we're going to have a better way
to handle folders in the UIs like a search bar?
Uh, et cetera. We do want to completely overhaul our inventory.
Um, it is just old and horrible.
Um,
it's It's sometimes difficult to say that about code that someone else
has written because it feels like a personal attack on them.
But, like no, like
has also said that about the inventory code. It's horrible. So I can say that,
uh, we want to just completely overhaul that.
When we do that, we want more features that you might see. Such as, uh,
you know, drag dropping files, renaming files, moving them around.
Um, even as far as we've talked about again. No plans, no ETA S here.
Um,
things like different views. Um, So
if you go to your Windows file browser, you can do the grid, view the detail,
view the list, view the et cetera,
Um, so we want to do more stuff like that.
Uh,
zigs when era
report. Welcome to another case of when, Which is it's just a very weird question.
Um,
again, No, Uh,
no dates available. Road map TBD.
Alex from, alas,
Minecraft import update Request. Wait for your hub to go live. Uh, drop it on there.
But again, no ETA S.
Uh,
says, are there any plans to resonate to have any education,
business or professional specific features?
Uh, yes. We already have a bunch of businesses that are moving across. Um,
can't really I mean, I could probably tell about a few, but I don't know,
on an individual layer.
So, like, I'm not gonna
make any guesses here about stuff I can or cannot talk about.
Yes, businesses are coming across.
Um, you can see one of those business features that we actually do have.
Which is Sam L support? Um, Sam L is like a business enterprise way of locking in.
It's very complicated. Don't expect to use it if you're just a regular user.
If you know what Sam L is. Um,
great. If you want to use Sam, great. But you're probably gonna have to contact us.
Um, because it requires set up on our own.
Same with off there.
Although that might be a little bit better later Once I get around to it,
if I get around to it
and I have to go turn, I've got a de humid, not a dehumidifier.
I've got a water distiller running long story, but it's running I. I have to go.
Turn it off. I don't know if it's overflowing. Give me a second,
OK, The water dis is fine.
There's still about, like, half a pint that it can do before it starts overflowing,
uh, moving forward. You see, Now we've got a bunch of cheese stuff. So
going through them,
Uh, now we ask When are we getting the ability to report bugs? Get a
tracker when we are working on that.
Like I said, shifty did an amazing amount of work today on that, um,
and we'll get the open as soon as we can.
There is an element right now of not opening
it because we're really focused on user experience.
Um,
getting ability for people to just do stuff themselves. Um,
for those who are, um, unaware. Don't don't DM shifty for anything now.
Support dot resonate dot com.
We want to make sure everything is as self driven as
possible and that new user experience is as smooth as possible.
Um,
like so in some cases to use another bill analogy,
like
people are are saying like, the electricity doesn't work, and we're like, Yeah,
we don't have a roof.
Let's put the roof on first. So that is one of the reasons that the, uh,
the issue track isn't public yet. Um, we don't need to know about the electricity.
The roof isn't on yet. It's raining
um, bred with two ds. Ask any plans on proving the current full body IK system?
Yes. Road map to DVD. Beagle asks cheese of the week.
I don't answer cheese questions.
Uh, candy. Love asks. Will the contact bug be fixed by contacts? Who migrated?
Our bug? Yes.
Uh, philosophy 101
asks, How would you describe agency between users? Um, that depends on
a number of circumstances.
Uh, for those who are from Australia, you know exactly what I mean.
Um, but if you are reasonably well connected to people, um,
it's it's it's not instantaneous and everything.
Nothing is instantaneous.
There's, like metal cables under the ocean that that carry
the fact that you're moving a cube backwards and forwards.
The Internet's a crazy place, but, um, it pretty quick.
Um, if there is bad sinking, um,
then you'll see stuff slow down. In some cases, people,
you won't see them move stuff, but it's pretty pretty, pretty good.
I won't say like instant, but pretty quick, as close to instant as you can get
as a layman, like if you were a technical person,
you'd be like it's not instant the metal cables, But if you were like, you know,
not thinking about the metal cables in,
um,
we
be says, Are you able to do say anything more about Web assembly report?
Uh, road map TBD. No information to share on that one.
I apologise that we're having a bunch of frustrations there.
It's just,
uh we've been working on this launch for a long time
and pretty much like any conversation that was just like,
let's talk about a non launch feature was Let's not,
um, the statement that I had last week was If you can wait till tomorrow,
it can wait till tomorrow.
The statement this week is it Can't really wait till tomorrow anymore.
Please
don't don't die. Uh,
basement nerd asks, Will I ever find the true meaning of friendship? Friendship?
Um, I'm going to paraphrase a quote from Star Trek the next generation
where, um, data summarises, uh, friendship. I'm not gonna get it exact. So Trey
is out there. I apologise. But it's something along the lines of
as my neural pathways become accustomed to your inputs,
I begin to miss them when they are not there.
And it is a very nice way to describe friendship What data
is basically saying there is his computer systems because he's an android.
By the way, if you're not a Star Trek, he you wouldn't know that yet.
Data is a robot, right?
Um, he doesn't have emotions, but he he managed to approximate
the feeling of friendship by just being like his.
CPU is used to the inputs from certain people.
Like so, for example,
his CPU is is used to the humour
from another character the wit from another character,
the leadership from another character.
And when that's gone,
is CPU has to do extra work to make up that or or or do something.
And so it misses that input. Uh, moving forwards. I don't know where I am.
I'm lost, OK? Yeah. No basement question.
Moving forwards. Uh, Cornelius,
uh, this is something that I saw men somewhere, but
and I have custom avatar shader support.
Um,
custom share report is more a graphics question.
So do you sort of keep a keep that in your notepad for, um,
graphics office hours? When that happens,
it's not going to be
like, however one wants it to be,
which is an odd statement to make When you're trying to respond to user feedback.
What people want is what we have on other platforms
where you can just write a shader and upload it.
We can't have that. It just it leads to all sorts of problems. It locks things down.
It actually makes things more difficult for you.
Um, so we have to We have to do it in a different way.
There will be more customised handling of of how you look and and
an ability to sort of customise how the shader look, but it won't be simply
can I download
and use it? It's It's not going to be that, unfortunately,
uh, Selena asks, Are you going to be able to support uh,
technologies like FSRDLSS or V RSS?
I
vaguely understand those words. I. I don't really understand those words.
Save that for
office
rendering and graphics is a very strange thing,
just as a quick reminder here when you're playing a 3D game,
the computer doesn't really know that you're playing a 3D game.
It's just doing maths. To draw pixels on a two D screen
like the maths is three dimensional math, Sure, but it has to like collapse,
everything down to.
There's a blue pixel over there, and it's someone's, like, face or whatever.
Uh, Lorne has retracted their question because of an ETA and inventory management.
Fantastic. I love that,
um, moving forward to, uh by
who has a a bucket of questions again. Um, so,
um,
when can we expect resonate to switch from unity to source? Uh, that is,
at the moment, up to the source team because they've got a lot of work, right?
The source team are saying we're not ready for you guys.
Um,
as we sort of track that we'll have sort of
like if you imagine two boats meeting in the ocean
right where the destination of the boats is. Source is launched for resonate.
Right now, both boats are really far away from each other.
But as source gets more and more ready,
that source boats going to come closer to resonates
boat and then eventually they'll meet in the middle.
And they'll have like a I don't know, a pirate stand off of cannons and stuff, but no,
I mean, they'll work together to integrate.
Maybe they'll tie their boats together,
and then they'll sail forward into the land of source.
Uh, next question from my he says, uh was proto
designed with collections in mind. Prof
was designed for
pretty much every programming concept in mind, Uh, from the ground up.
Uh, so there is stuff in prof
that is really, really cool.
It's just not exposed to you guys in a way that you can use it in the engine.
Uh, for anyone who's curious about that
rummage around inside, the component is better.
You'll find some test nodes that have the word array in them.
If you spawn them, they will crash your world.
We are taking a look at those because I
don't think we should have components that crash worlds,
et cetera.
Um, but you can see that, like,
you know, there's stuff there that we're thinking about and and and taking a look at,
uh, next VI has a when question. So
when the road map is available,
we'll be able to provide more information on when and where.
In Sweden, of course, that we're working on collections.
Um,
question. Can you clarify what compilation means in relation to proto flux?
If I, as I can tell no IL code or similar, is emitted during run time.
It's not again like I don't know, the the the depths of proto
like IL.
And stuff like that isn't an appropriate approximation,
because it's like a language that that
isn't
like that.
Um, but proto
node groups are compiled into a faster, simpler data structure.
When you when you add nodes to it
and when another When There. So check the road map.
Uh, when it's available, moving forward to
I don't know how to pronounce your name
I. I know peers sometimes are in rush,
but like
you're a cool person. I see you lots of offices.
I apologise for any pronunciation difficulties.
Uh, are any Linux fixes, uh, plan to be fixed?
Soonish We did just, uh,
the other day we had a community contribution to fix the free image.
Um, it's not a DLL file on Linux. It's SO file or something.
Um, that wasn't compiling correctly. So that's an example of a Linux fix that we had.
Um, there will be additional Linux fixes coming up.
Uh, dusk kitten says when can we make groups?
And people are reacting very quickly to that.
Uh, like I said previously, where we're talking about building the roof.
We want as much as possible to be self service as possible.
Um,
we're all tired of like running random commands and resonate Bot like I spent a good
sort of eight hours over the past couple of days just in my cloud home running random
Reignite Cloud bot commands to help you guys.
We want to make sure that is as self service as possible so that you don't have to.
You don't have to talk to us
like I love speaking to you guys, but, like, I don't want to talk to you.
If it's like just a quick thing that you can do yourself like do it yourself,
let's have more interesting conversations,
like Was maths, invented or discovered?
It's a more interesting conversation.
I can't answer the next question from philosophy, so we'll move on.
Um, Alex, 7 12 says, uh, can't answer that one either. Um, moving forward to
Kuss. Question.
Um,
what will support for Linux look like, uh,
road DVD There.
You can expect Linux to say the same for at least a little
bit whilst we sort of fix it up so that it works again.
And then maybe we'll advance it for for for native,
uh, Gori asked. What is the current estimation for asset variant?
Variant calculations finish.
Um, so for those who are unaware when you upload an asset to resume,
we do a bunch of work on our side to make it more optimal. For various circumstances.
Those are called asset variations, so a variation might be
a smaller resolution or, in some cases,
a larger resolution or a different encoding type.
Like, for example, normal maps in resin are red and everyone freaks out.
It's like, Why are normal maps red? It's like it's they take up less space.
They're more efficient when they're red.
I know that like you're used to seeing them as blue, but they're red, they're better.
Um, so we do all of that in the asset variant system.
And that means that every asset that is uploaded needs to go through a process where
a bit like papers, please.
That that video game you take the asset you look at it, you're like, oh,
what could I do with it?
You stamp it, you you squidge it. You you change it, et cetera,
Um and that's one of the charts that you can see on our status page.
That is very high right now. We are working our best to get that declining.
And, um, it should settle down.
Um, it is a problem where we basically need to throw more computing power at it.
We've had a bunch of people direct message us and say, Hey, like,
could I lend you my servers?
We We can't do that.
Unfortunately, due to data privacy, one of my main focuses, um,
coming up to launch was our policies.
So there are any policy questions.
I can probably answer those as well, not moderation policies,
but things like terms of service, user privacy policy.
One of the things II I kind of
upsets the wrong word.
But,
like I feel like there was a better opportunity that
was not capitalised on either by me or the team.
You know, it's no one's real fault. Is is involving moderation.
More in those policies, everyone did have a chance to read them,
but they are just very long documents.
But one of those is the privacy policy,
and it means we cannot put your content on random person's computer as an example,
here, um,
allowed other people to contribute to the asset variant pool.
Um, and you uploaded your avatar
and your avatars textures and then that avatar textures
would then be sent to a third party's computer,
where they theoretically could then just say that,
right? So it would make a sort of back door to that.
Now, we don't expect anyone to do that,
but our privacy policy just doesn't even allow for that eventuality.
So we are keeping an eye on that. And, uh,
at
some point, we might just, like, open up the wallet and go like,
just, like, buy more service. Um,
pixel asks.
Uh, actually, they have a little message before it, which says, Actually,
hold on a moment.
Uh,
sorry. Nay's
question.
Um, is there a reason why Resonates account registration page list,
date of birth as American format and not IOS
name with the date and time listed in the
home world.
Uh, we have difficulties there because we have a sort of international team.
Um, I want to get to the point where if your nationality is provided,
which usually is by your computer, we can render it in a way that makes sense for you.
Um, currently, we don't support that. So it's just
It's just however we decided to do it.
And is there a decision or an argument to make about, Like, which is better or work?
Yeah, absolutely. But I would rather it just goes like you're in America.
You can have the weird format. You're in the UK or anywhere else in the world.
You can have the correct format.
I'm going to start an argument by saying that. But but it's OK,
Don't get me started on Fahrenheit.
Um,
moving forward to pixel Who, uh, says hello.
This is the first time I've attended um,
one of these and I'm not sure what questions I ask.
You can ask whatever you want. Do you know, I I'm gonna say no to some questions.
I was curious. Is there any chance, uh, more things to talk when you use this?
Absolutely. We're looking forward to,
um events, workshops, streams, tutorials. My voice is going hoarse.
Let me drink water off mic.
Uh, but we also have the mentor programme.
We'll be standing up, you know,
public or public resources that are off platform to talk about the
mentor programme on the wiki and stuff like that to explain it.
But, um, mentors have a
light bulb above their head that is green. It's not like a sort of sim light bulb.
It's in their badges, and it's green,
just like they got a light bulb above their head. It's really bright and annoying.
It would be a great meme,
Um,
but, uh, they can help you out of any stuff that you have.
We want, um,
more experiences and and tutorials and stuff like that
and and we we'll get through building them.
We have an entire content team that is just They made the cloud home.
They made the tutorial world. They also made the local home.
And I know the local home isn't much, but it's still beautiful.
Um, that pattern on the floor and the colours, et cetera.
And, of course, they made the the logo and branding. Um,
that that was a fun. That was a fun experience. Um,
SK
says, Is there a slash commands or something for the re night?
But it would be pages like there are so many commands that you probably
don't even know that you need so like It just isn't an idea.
The the standard for that is going to be the wiki.
Um, and pretty much like everywhere that it exists.
We want to take one of those commands and make it U.
I at some point, for example, cloud variables.
It'd be great if there's a piece of U I to do that.
Um, group management would be great if there's a piece of U I to do that right?
Um, in a lot of cases,
it should be a form, right? Managing groups should be a form it should.
You know, rename the group should just like you open, you know,
well designed by someone That's not me form that has, like, the group name.
And you can just, like hit rename, et cetera.
Um
good. OK, Jack has retracted the question.
Uh, Margaret
says, Are you going to change the seven website to say six? Nope.
It's always gonna say seven. It's a long story.
It's just a meme That doesn't mean anything.
Uh, we have a very long question from Damien. There's no problem.
Um, I'm just remembering back to to square pegs.
Bit of a question, and then the buckets of questions.
Is this like a, I don't know, like a yard of question.
I will read it and answer it, though.
Um, the current avatar set up is a great system. If you know what you're doing,
is there any plans to have any sort of
tutorial world or already available resources to help reduce
friction for those who are just starting your reset
for the first time being someone who is,
uh, finally able to set up an
A on their own I think this is really an important thing to look at in the future.
Having folks or mentors around is super useful.
But would there be any way to have some sort of
system to help people get started quickly with a model?
I have many friends ready to try resonate,
but have difficulties having certain knowledge or
resources for getting things set up.
Even their knowledge in the modelling world unity Blender
Having a model that you want to be in
for any platform is super useful for first impressions.
Uh, I agree with everything that you're saying.
Um, there's a number of ways that we're going to sort of combat that,
um, number one of course is through platform enhancements,
so updates to resonate to make that process easier.
Lots of those that can occur in the avatar
creation world number two through that is through help.
Um,
it should be number three if I'm sort of going sort of, like
more permanent to I don't know, whatever.
Um so number two is like, more help for that.
So we have got the entire mentor programme
there,
Um, who are ready to help you as well as anyone, like,
if if your world is public and someone joins that you don't know,
ask them how to do avatar stuff.
They probably know,
um, and they'll be able to help you out.
And, of course, third to that is sort of in world experiences or tutorials like that.
They could be out of the platform as well. YouTube, et cetera. But,
um,
they could be, um,
all sorts of variations of that.
So tutorials like you might see in the tutorial world where
it's more sort of like guiding you through the experience.
I would call this like portal style tutorials because
you don't really realise that you're doing a tutorial,
um, more directed where it's just like here's a Here's a damn arrow.
Let me point it at the thing you need to click, etcetera.
Um, but yeah,
um,
he
ask questions that are actually similar to that one.
So, yes, we've got plans to sort of make the whole process a little bit simpler.
I want to go change the colours right now. Actually, um,
still use some old colours that could be updated to the new colour scheme.
Uh,
Margaret talks about a list of commands
for the resonate box that's already answered.
Um,
what are the plans regarding the featured Avatar Worlds banner in the home world?
So again, speaking from a sort of policy perspective, um,
we need to come up with a way of sort of making sure that we have an assurance.
About what? Why, when Where how were we feature worlds there?
It was a little bit, uh, willy nilly before. If that's a British phrase.
If you don't know what that means,
it just means wishy washy is another way of saying I really don't know.
I'm I'm British. I'm sorry. You know what Willie Nely
means? Uh uh, way of doing it before good worlds did get featured.
We did have some issues. We had to unfeatured worlds, et cetera.
So we want to, like, write it down on paper or not paper, You know what I mean?
Write it down like this is the sort of quality that we want, et cetera.
And then we want to open up a way for people
to submit things and say I have made a cool world.
I would like it to be submitted.
Um,
so moving forwards Dus kit and ask, Are you under ND a Yeah, I.
I kind of, like, helped write the ND a and then signed,
which is is interesting sort of turnover.
It's just like I made a document. Now I've got to sign it.
Uh, moving forward to my homie. Joe. Hey, Prime. Uh, glad to see you. Have you been
had covid for a bit,
uh, recovered from it, but it's the version of covid that, like,
screws your lungs up for, like, six weeks.
So I've still got, like, a cough going. It's kind of weird.
I got to go back to the doctor if it doesn't clear up
like I'm not sick. I'm not, um, infectious or anything.
but my lungs just aren't as clear as I would like them to be.
Um,
we're talking about Prime's lungs now.
Sorry. Let's get back on track. Is there a way to make folders?
Because I can't find it.
We do have a bug right now with the the buttons that are in the the inventory.
Um, if you're not holding anything,
Push, save held. I know it doesn't make any sense. I'm so sorry.
Push, like, save held, and it will allow you to make a new folder.
Yes. Yes, I understand. We'll work at it when we can,
uh,
asks. I heard there was a new near clip component that mimics what VRC has. What is it?
Where can I find it?
I have forgotten the name just now, someone will be able to help you out.
I'm sure they've already commented below.
Um,
it is a component which, um allows you to sort of override if stuff is visible to you.
It's very similar to the VR chat thing where they shrink your head down.
I don't sure if no, if they shrink your head down or they just
dender it. But I think it's a shrinky head for your camera or something.
It should help with, uh, things clipping into your view.
I don't remember what it's called. I don't know how to use it, because I I
I got used to dealing with the solutions that
we previously had, so I haven't needed to use it. But I will do a tutorial on it.
Yes, actually, Uh uh,
Ra
Ra ra re,
um, says
stop changing your names, guys. It's very confusing. Hi. Hi, Ray. How are you doing?
Um, Renda transfer from over. Right. And
yeah, that's the one.
transfer
from override basement says that as well. Look, see these?
These are all people here that are Are are design design.
Makes it sound like they were built by someone purely to help you with res.
Uh, you know what I mean? The the the platform is is doing how it is.
Design people are helping you out. You just ask a question and people help you out.
I apologise if my wording gets awkward. I'm never attending to to cause any offence.
I'm just bumbling through the questions.
Um,
but yes. So there's lots of people helping out.
Rookie asked the pro prime camera when I am going to be LFC.
You might not like what you see there, though. More surprises there Nothing.
Nothing dodgy, just, you know,
people might be Oh, I finally get to see what prime looks like.
Nope, I've I've got, like, a humongous Amazon.
Order is shipping, and my 3D printer is printing.
I'll let that be the, uh, the only hint that people need,
um,
Tiki
asks,
uh brockley dot co library contains some mysterious X 86 X
64 native binaries in the source Repo where if possible,
If it's the source so I can compile it for Linux
arm.
Uh, could you open an issue on that repository? If that's a repository?
Uh, Grey, I can't answer that question. Moving forward to Philosophy's question.
Uh, will the user experience be more straightforward and polished?
Uh, I don't know if you tried it already.
Um, philosophy, the new stuff that we have in the local like it the the the flow.
And I'm very used to the flow because I spent like
two weeks like improving the flow on a technical level.
The content team did an amazing, beautiful job, but the worlds.
They just didn't work on a technical level. So I I made those work.
Uh, it was the transition between that. So you start in the beautiful local home,
and then you sort of bubble teleport into the tutorial.
You go through the tutorial, you ended up in the cloud home.
That isn't gonna meant to be the sort of be all and end all of those experiences,
there are going to be more in the future.
Uh, more details to come from the content team.
Maybe they'll even do an office hours themselves to talk about that.
I know that I would love to hear more about how they made,
um, those worlds because they're beautiful.
Um, but, uh,
it should be a lot more straightforward than, um, you used to,
uh, dusk
asks physics when Remember that when questions are difficult. So road map TBD,
uh,
asks what are the plans regarding website documentation and things?
The mentors are honestly great,
but some users might be too scared to hop into a park of instance.
So yeah, the wiki is the is the first sort of, um,
landing page for documentation as it stands,
what we want to do is figure out a system where documentation
can get in and out of the game as quickly as possible.
It will be really easy to edit and just
have
good good times. Um,
I know I kind of like, ran out of words there.
Uh, there's this film called, Like 1000 words of Like, Not Jim Carrey.
Hang on, Eddie Murphy. I don't know why I confuse those two.
They They're very, um, physical actors.
You know, they use their their body a lot to act. So that's why I was confusing them.
Um, but a tree grows in his garden and he was only allowed to say
1000 words, and then the tree dies. And if the tree dies, he dies.
That's what I mean.
When I run out of words,
I'm doing a strange reference to that film that no one's watched.
It's a good film. Take a look at it.
Um,
I feel like you know, that tree is just going like, hey, you're using up leaves here,
start mumbling.
Uh, but yeah, we want to get more documentation in and out of the,
uh uh the platforms that you can sort of learn as you go.
Uh, I understand that a lot of people learn better in different ways.
That's why I always say it, and I will continue to say it make tutorials.
If you learn better another way, just just make a tutorial for it.
Like my tutorials are a certain style. And I've heard some people say I don't
You know, I don't want to make tutorials because you make tutorials.
I might make them differently.
Here's an idea for a tutorial.
You know, the the genre of music that's got, like core on the end night core.
Break core,
that type of music. It's basically just gen Z music.
Um, make tutorials of that running in the background.
Maybe that will work better for some people.
Um,
I know that there's a couple of projects in the sort
of educational world where they're looking at sort of teaching,
um, things like mathematics using, um, a child's special interest.
So if a child is especially interested in dragons,
teach them maths using dragons like rather than
100 apples plus 100 apples,
which is what you probably have in your textbooks
learning maths literally have them fill in a form.
What's your favourite thing? Dragons. And it'll be great.
You could do all sorts of maths like there are 100 red dragons in the East and
and 200 blue dragons in the in the East West.
Whatever opposite of the direction I first said is,
and they fight like who's going to win, right it, it's It's like it.
It engages the the child with whatever their special interest is.
Um, so please do make tutorials of of whatever style,
and you might engage with someone on a better
level because your style is not my style,
Grayson
asked.
What dog did you? Uh, No. Grey Fox says dog. Then Aaron says, Which dog did you choose?
I'm not actually gonna, like announce my dog until I have it.
Um, for those who are under way,
I previously submitted an application to adopt a dog,
and it was like it was gonna be here on the 30th of September.
Um,
but then they realised they'd cocked up the paperwork and, uh,
the dog was already adopted.
And I'm just like I was so angry.
Um, so I'm not like
I have chosen that dog, but I'm not like it's not my dog. Until I sign the paperwork.
I'm not like I am emotionally invested in that dog because I chose it.
But I'm not getting emotionally invested in, Like,
I will be upset if that dog is not available again.
Because that's annoying. Like I'm gonna do AAA mid range.
Um,
we're going to keep going until I get to the bottom of these questions, by the way.
So just keep them coming. And, um, it's launch week.
So we're gonna have some weird stuff here. I do see a ping.
I'm gonna jump down to the ping and then jump back up.
Um, avoid pinging me if you don't want me to do this.
Um,
OK, yeah, I. I don't know what that is.
Yeah. Avoid pigging me because I have to scroll down.
Sometimes it's important I cook you an eye on pigs because, like, you know,
maybe one of the team members will be like, Oh, you were supposed to talk about that,
and that's absolutely fine.
Do that. If if you here do that, I'm being very careful, though.
I'm lost. OK, I'm back at dog.
I'm back at dog, uh, shadow says,
will the NDAP will be able to talk about things from development.
Uh, they have specific advice that they are following.
Um, that advice might change as we're able to allow it to change.
But, um, they are aware of what they cannot talk about.
And if they have questions, they are usually asking them
in some cases, like all the time.
And I really appreciate that it means that they are taking the NDAS very seriously,
which I really do appreciate.
But it does get Paris, and sometimes it's like,
Can I talk about blue? Yes.
You may talk about Blue as a concept, but do keep answering those questions.
I really, really do appreciate it. If you're if you're confused.
Anyone here that's got an ND A. If you're confused or upset, just go right ahead.
Ask us. We won't bite.
Um, could offence his apologies. I came in late. So
if we aren't talking about resonate features, let me know.
I heard the full body has been changed to allow hips to float,
uh, to prevent neck issues in the previous platform.
I'd have to double check the the the, um, internal change log.
I don't think we've touched full body. We might have, though.
I can't remember everything Freaks does.
Sometimes I just, like, wake up And I look at the commit log,
and it's just like freaks had a busy evening.
Uh, it's so great to hear. Say, I've got an update. Ready?
Oh, I won't, like, Tell you what they are.
But last night I dropped in, like, 12 changes into into Resonate. I
don't know if Fruits has reviewed any of them,
and he might literally say no to all of them, but, like,
there are 12 changes available from me.
But if they get review, if they're suitable, you know, time dependent,
suitability, dependent.
Um, they'll be in
an upcoming build.
I had a busy night.
Uh,
co defence is any, um, Also any headless arm support once headless gets sort of, uh,
unblocked by the the launch window.
I'm sure that will come up. I think
apologies. If I'm wrong, I don't know if they were in there, sir. I think you did that.
Like if if that still works, like speak
to please. Thank you.
Um,
uh, can't answer that question. Great. Uh, moving on to
Kubis question.
Are there plans to speed up the asset variant. I
did answer that just a little bit ago, but this is a long one.
So we're just gonna keep talking about that?
Yes.
Uh, we are actively discussing right now, um, throwing wallets at the problem,
but we want to make sure that we're ready for that.
Um, shadow says, will the wiki be ready at launch? I
I'm struggling to prioritise it. It's things like,
um, as an example, Uh, we have, uh,
non-english speaking communities that are struggling to register because all of
our registration error messages are just local keys right now,
we didn't actually have local for them.
Um,
that's one of the reasons we made the
local repository public a little bit earlier than,
um, maybe we intended to.
So people can get those local things in. It's like you get your password wrong
and you don't speak English. It's just like login dot invalid credentials.
Like, what does that mean to someone who doesn't speak English?
They like Did I get my password wrong?
Did I not get my password wrong, or must I take a little break
just to take a look at a few things,
so I know it's launch week, so I need to I need to keep an eye on on on things.
Uh,
OK. And now I'm lost.
Because every time I I tap out of this thread, it will, like,
scroll me around randomly.
Uh, OK, back like shadow. Thank you for having a very distinctive avatar.
I was looking for that,
like,
almost completely black circle to locate where I was. Excellent.
Uh,
can't answer that one,
moving forwards to,
uh, euphoria. Why is, like, public folder reckling so long did more for
get long. Like, uh, if he handed me their public folder.
And then I inspected it because we were trying to diagnose something I'm like,
That's really long.
I don't know if that should be long. So,
uh, I I was gonna look into that.
But if you're seeing more folders like that, that might just be the new
length. Uh,
you ask. Graphics and headless will be downloading only from not only steam.
I'm very tired. Tired about headless, set up in previous platform.
Ok, uh, probably we'll investigate it. Our priority right now is steam. Um,
we're able to use steam to to get,
um,
uh get us moving quickly.
But we are still looking into non steam platforms,
particularly in the sort of education and business space.
Like we go up to a business. It's like, Oh, yes, your VR platform is amazing.
Like, how do we get started? Download a video game installation platform.
And the firewall and the security at those establishments are just like,
No,
you can't do that, right? So we will.
We'll try and get that improved when we can, but but no dates.
Um,
seeing Kazu, we fixed that that bug with that, um, that one, character.
That was incorrect. I was so pleased to see that.
Um,
OK, Margo asks, What's the thing underneath? Sorry.
There was a bunch of no questions there,
So I was reading them and trying to sort of say, like, Is there a question mark?
If you're asking a question, make sure you had a question mark. My eyes were like, 3.
60. No, scope the question mark, and then I'll answer it.
Um,
what's the thing underneath anyone in a session menu for restricting access?
I can't select it. Custom joint verify.
Custom joint verifiers are only available for the host.
They allow you to create a piece of prof
to control who gains access to
AAA session
sechan
source. No, a session.
Um,
their
use is a little bit sort of, like up in the air because you can do pretty much anything.
Um,
setting them up is a little bit tricky because we we wanted
to do it in a way that was as secure as possible.
Um, I know that someone I want to say Polaris, but I'm not entirely sure uh, made a
session verifier.
That was random.
Might have been Lex. I don't I'm sorry someone did it.
It was basically just like if you join the world, it flipped a coin.
And if it landed on heads, you could join.
And if it landed on tails, it was just like, Nope.
You're not allowed in. Of course, that's a weird
use case for it, but you could do also, you know, all sorts of use cases for it.
It also allows you to assign the role. It's just a one time thing.
I know people went into the security folder
of,
and they're like, oh, assign role,
but it's it's only compatible with the joint verify system.
You can't do it. Um,
to use another British phrase, You can't do it willy nilly.
You have to do it as part of the joint. Verify.
Uh, I will have
a on that, um, as soon as I can.
Um, I know it has caused a couple of raised eyebrows because people are like, uh,
it doesn't seem like this is secure.
It is. It is quite secure.
Um, grim. Wolf asks.
Were there option to launch reignite by itself about the use of steam? I did.
Just answer that.
Um, if you have the XC and you run it, it it might not require steam.
Um, to be open, uh, once we've launched. Of course. Uh,
to
us. What are the plans for the display badge?
What are the plans for the display badgers value? A user profile has
because I've seen that it's writeable, but it doesn't get used.
So we're moving badges around to be more self service. Um,
so that will allow you to without D ming shifting
it will allow you to add a two D badge, a 3D badge to yourself.
We have, um, validation checks That run.
When you add a 3D badge, it goes like, Is this a mesh? Yes.
Is the mesh really really dense?
No. Ok, then it's allowed through. Whatever of the checks that there are there.
So we're trying to get we just like
we love.
Like I said earlier on, we love speaking to you guys, but I,
I can't just sit in my cloud home running resonate box commands all day.
Um, so we want to make it as self service as possible.
Um, Alex says,
can we contact support to get our user ID switched
from our migrated user ID to a randomised one?
No, that is a single time thing.
Um, we cannot change it after you have an account. It's just in,
like it just will not work. Um,
I understand that that is problematic, but like it,
that's why the big warning is there.
I actually wanted to remove that warning, um, to a separate page in the,
um in that dialogue,
because it's getting confused with the form field that's above it.
So I make it a separate page and have, um, a little bit more room, uh,
to explain it there.
Uh,
Marcus is Is it known what causes the migrated user ID to
be used even when you select to get a randomised one?
Uh, I filed a bug on that one.
I am bothered,
like much more bothered than other bugs about the fact that it's occurring.
So I have filed an internal bug on that one. We will take a look at it.
Uh, for those that have the wrong user.
ID, there are some gymnastics that we can do,
but I'm waiting to see if we can get that bug resolved so we can figure out, like,
a defined way to kind of reason about that problem.
Uh, will there be any additions?
Changes refinements to the graphics pipeline before switching to the new render?
Um, there are gonna be changes.
Um, so you'll notice that we are now running on linear, um,
colour spacing That gives us a lot more freedom to make more changes that exist.
Um,
S keeps talking about a PBS, um Shader sort of collation.
Uh, right now, most of the PBS shader have sort of distinct code bases,
and S wants to collate those all together.
So there's one solid code base and it has sort of, you know,
it shares features a little bit more easily.
That's what I'm looking forward to,
because I get bothered by the inconsistencies between the various PBS variants.
But that's not really that exciting.
Like it'll it'll be good, but not like fireworks.
Who it's just gonna be like, Oh, that's less frustrating to work with. Thank you.
Still really good
or not,
you know, taking on that work. But it's it's not fireworks
Ray Fox and says, Will there be a way to give storage space to other users? Uh, yes.
And that will, uh, be again self service. If you look at the, uh, patron tiers, you
wish.
Wish
you will see CM running out words. You will see. Um,
shareable storage in the patreon tiers. We've got more information on that coming.
Um, what is available for you guys to use it again?
That will be something that you guys can use without DM shifting.
Shifty is amazing,
but, uh, her job isn't actually to just sit and type resume Bob commands all day.
Uh,
says if you migrate to your friends list over,
will we be able to unfriend them at some point.
Uh, yes, we are looking into that one that's logged internally as well.
Uh, apple Exploit says,
how's the user friendliness? Uh, of
sorry pings. Um
oh, now I'm lost. Where are we For shadow after Shadow
Scroll you down, Alex?
Well, how will How is the user friendly of this platform compared to the two other
platforms?
Will this be any easier for a, uh,
VRC player to get into the The one problem there is still avatars.
We have a lot of issues with that one.
Because, uh, for a new user to be comfortable on our platform,
they need to be in the avatar that they want to be in.
And for them to be in the avatar that they want to be in, they immediately get sort of,
like catapulted into technical stuff, right?
It's Oh, you want your avatar? Give me your texture files.
Give me your give me your messages that set it up. You know, stuff like that. Um,
so
in that respect, No, because that still exists.
But like I said previously, we want to make sure that that process gets smoother.
The more we we go for it.
Uh, try and make that smoother
something I've also tried sort of experimenting.
I don't know if we'll have much luck because I don't have data
on it or anything is suggesting to someone that's new to the platform.
Can we not get your your avatar
in like I know that that you know, that's a comfort issue for some,
But can we find them a suitable sort of?
I don't want to say it Rental avatar,
but can we find them a suitable sort of like not rental?
Because you know they'll be able to keep it, But you know what I mean?
It's like a courtesy car. That's it. That's the phrase I was looking for.
Can we get you a courtesy avatar so that you can
experience what the platform has to offer without being catapulted,
head first into inspectors
and then
be like, Cool? This platform's great. The the community is awesome.
I love the content. I am prepared
to get on that catapult that puts you into into into inspectors.
Um, so that's a technique which I I I've tried on a few people.
I don't know if it's if it's
likely to work. OK, I just got another pings and I'm lost again.
I'm still not at the bottom. It's great. I love this. I love speaking to you guys.
It's It's always fun.
Um,
draught. He says, What's going to be the main focus the team wants?
Resonate is officially out.
Um, I predict there's gonna be a few weeks, maybe half a month,
maybe a month where we're just like
which Not relaxing like we're not gonna stop, but like,
we won't be able to work on anything that, um,
is a surprise. Like it's gonna be stuff that you guys are providing feedback on.
It's gonna be,
um, this doesn't work or this needs fixing Or, you know,
all these things need tightening.
You know, there's going to be a lot of sort of running around with a,
um when I say span and no one knows what I mean.
Because Again span is a British word running
around with a wrench and being like whoops.
Forgot to tighten that screw. Forgot to tighten that screw.
That's going to be at least a week, maybe more. Hopefully not a month, but that's
at least a little bit.
But that is also um hopefully going to be a little more more relaxing for us.
Because fixing up those small things, they're usually simpler.
They usually don't require, like, big planning and stuff like that.
It's usually very clear what needs to happen. We just need to fix the bug.
But we do want to, like, a little bit of a break.
We also do have the EFFC at the end of the month where a lot of the team members a lot now,
especially seeing as I just threw money at a monitor until I started going.
Um
so that will be a period where there, There won't be many updates over that.
Um,
yeah,
uh, why did it just, like, randomly scroll down
like it just randomly, just like, you know, yanked and like,
dragged me down to the bottom of the list.
Like how rude.
I'm still scrolling up. We got a lot of time. I'm happy. I'm happy to keep going.
If anyone has to dip,
there will be a recording for this one. It might cost me more money,
but but there we go.
Um, yeah, basically,
the transcription of office hours questions now cost me money,
but it's something like less than a dollar per episode, so it's fine.
But maybe this episode will be a dollar. Um,
I've still lost.
Uh,
OK, found it. I found it draughty. Fantastic.
Uh,
my water dis stiller just turned off, by the way, for the water is still there.
If you're wondering, uh, I now use a CPAP device when sleeping,
which stands for con con continuous positive airway pressure.
Uh, and it requires distilled water, not any other type of water,
as they must have distilled water.
And I bought, like, a couple of bottles.
But then I bought a big distilling machine, and it's really complicated.
And it's basically just a kettle with a, um
uh, What's the word? A
condenser on top of it. You know, it sort of
it into a condenser. You get distilled water.
It's cool. I like science. Anyway, um,
so many quotes here, just like random stuff of,
um
says will resonate be multi core or single core.
It's already multi core,
but there is always more opportunities to multi core additional things.
So certain things aren't multi core and could be multi.
Some things are multi core and shouldn't be,
um that is a rumour. We have a lot like there are definitely stuff.
And if you want, like,
if you're not as technically minded, um,
you can go into the debug menu there and you'll see, like jobs, tasks, threads,
all sorts of stuff There.
Uh, beagle says that's something I do with my students. The dropping thing. II.
I don't remember what that is.
Um spec says they're on a six hour flight with nothing better to do. Fantastic.
Um,
Marie says my name is pronounced Marie. Thank you. Thank you for that.
Uh, well, the component browser Have a search function?
Yes, we want to improve that as well.
Um,
I'm already getting lost in that one. Some people have been like
the proto Flux
node browser is a little weird.
And and the reason behind that is the proto fox node
browser is actually just a scoped version of the component browser.
They now use the same code base, which is bad in one way because, you know,
it made the the proto
Node browser a little bit unwieldy.
But it's good in other ways because it means any advancements
to the Component browser also naturally end up in the proto
browser and in some cases, vice versa. So that's really good. Uh,
basement clarifies the Java
JavaScript ayc
thing. I'm probably thinking of node
Ayn. Not javascript a sync, which might be slightly different, but
I don't know. I used to write JavaScript, like, every day for work, and now I don't
Um
uh, Grey says every time I hear a proto
flux, I'm here. It is proto fox.
Cool.
Uh, technically.
And I never know if this is fixed because I
have to go speak to a speech therapist again.
I'd say TH as in thumb, I say it wrong,
but I remember growing up, everyone was like, You're saying that wrong.
You're saying that wrong?
I figured out how to say it, but apparently it's the wrong way of saying it.
I don't know.
So maybe there's more words I can't say.
As you can tell, I frequently ramble and get incoherent, but there we go.
Um, mo
says proto
and PS two when it might be possible.
There's someone I didn't realise there was a community that are doing this,
but there is a community that are just, like,
absolutely making brand new games using the, um
uh, Mario 64 engine,
right? They're just They're making new levels, new characters, all sorts.
And then there's a YouTube channel where someone is just optimising.
Um, Mario 64. They they like
they have a whole video about it,
which is very similar to that one about
the speed running thing with the parallel dimensions.
But it just got very confusing,
but it's basically like I quadrupled the frame rate on this Nintendo 64 game.
It's insane.
Uh,
dog bolt system says any intent on making a proto fox combiner or binding two
proto fox from other languages like Python or
Pearl Proto Fox already kind of compiles.
Like I said, I don't really understand the intense details of that.
I think you're probably referring to more sort of
again mainstream views of
compilation,
like turning a proto fo
note group into, like an AC or something like that.
Um, probably not so far.
Um, as for other languages, we we do plan to sort of investigate allowing, um,
Web assembly or something like that.
Um,
that one is sort of like a a cloud. It's like, you know, drifting by on a summer's day.
It's like Web assembly. It sort of flows past.
We don't really have any details on how that would work yet.
Oh, you mean trans pilot. OK,
um,
so dog board, uh, means a transpire. Yeah. Take proto
compile it into No, sorry. Take Pearl or Python and compile it into proto.
Some people, um, have done that for other platforms.
So there was a react thing for for UIX that looked quite cool.
I'm not a particular great lover of react,
but I don't want to start another fight because
I already did one with the date format.
So, you know,
uh, scrolling through,
OK, lots of comments on JavaScript as sync. We'll just skip that one.
will there be some sort of code blocker function for proto?
Uh, we do what we do. Want to do nested nodes at some point or, like function nodes.
Um, we we just need to sort of figure out
how they'd work, et cetera.
Uh, dusk kitten says, well,
web sockets to be able to do binary
eventually instead of just strings that requires,
uh, collection support, Um, and and probably a bunch of other stuff as well,
because binary.
The problem with binary is it.
It can get
really data intensive. There might be performance problems there.
Uh,
who asked,
Will we get sort of component access in
the future that requires collections as well?
And again, that's because it's unbounded. Like
this slot might have one component on it, or it might have 200 components on it.
And when you have more than one other thing,
you need collections
because you've got a collection of things. Like, if I have one,
block of cheese
I. I got one.
It's really easy to round out, but when I've got two blocks of cheese, I need a plate
and you could call that play a collection.
Um,
JUB says for Re
Embassy 2024 will be held under the same name or a different one.
That's entirely up to the Creator jam community.
Um, and the creator jam, Uh, team, uh, they are a separate entity from us, so, um,
it's up to them what they want to do.
Um,
I am very good friends with me,
so I have an inkling, but I might be wrong.
Um
says that they have a tiny question.
I love this, like, you know, quantity beam. Um, how's the team doing mentally?
So far, I hope you guys are taking care of yourself.
Certainly this week, we're going to be a bit frazzled.
Um, there was one particular day when my brain just wasn't,
um that's one of the exit quotes that you'll see from fruits.
My brain just isn't I think it was the quote.
Yeah, there was one day where my brain just wasn't.
Um I am hoping that after launch,
I have a a much calmer period where I'm looking after the dog.
If they decide to grant the adoption instead of giving it
to someone else and not telling me for two days,
that's what happened.
The previous dog, Uh, and then, of course, uh, BFC, which strangely,
won't be as much as a vacation
like I know, like everyone loves conventions.
And they're great, but like, it still kind of is working in my view.
Um, and the reason behind that is like crowds travelling public spaces.
I don't find those relaxing or vacation,
but I'm doing it because of other reasons.
And it will, of course, be a you know, a mental break from typing code.
People see me in, um, in renite
or other platforms a lot with my hands up, like my arms up in the sky.
And the reason behind that is like I spend so much time sort of hunched over a laptop,
hunched over a keyboard with my arms horizontal.
It's good to have them vertical sometimes. So
at least when I'm walking around the convention floor, I won't.
I won't have them in the keyboard position.
Uh, Corinna
says regarding proto fox is proto flux dynamically or statically typed?
Uh,
I don't know how to accurately answer that question because I believe both, um,
we'll have to get freaks on here to do like a proto
office hours II. I make it.
It makes it sound like I'm an idiot and I don't know how to use it. I know how to use it.
Um, but
if you look at the internals of it, there are the nodes,
which you can position inside a resonate world.
There's the like engine that runs those nodes. And then there's, like an underlying
system, an engine that that runs the whole proto flux language.
And that one is called, uh, prof
core in the code base. I have not read a single line of code in there.
I did keep up with the PR S, but it was just like, this is,
like, wizard stuff. Really cool.
Um, so next question there is proto Fox is strictly object orientated language,
optionally object orientated or procedural?
Uh, none of those. So it's still graph and node based. There aren't, um,
objects in the sense that you would be using in, say, C# or Java.
Um,
the proto
features, uh, object oriented programme features what kind of OP features, uh,
will be imprinted.
The closest thing that we're going to get there is, uh, collections,
component access and and maybe function?
No. At some point,
um, those still aren't oop ones, though
when you mean oop like you, you're probably never gonna You might,
you know,
never is a long word, But you probably won't have the ability to be like,
um, car a equals new car, right?
That's the usual way of creating a car object from an object oriented programme.
You probably won't be able to to
to do that.
Um,
ok, we're still talking about JavaScript.
I'll skip that now me ask, Can you tell us when the resume road map will be released?
Its it like
when it's ready.
We We'll have bug reporting up before the the the road map. Um,
just like it's it's gonna take a while. Uh,
so has put their name there. Um,
consider making your name readable. Um, I will move on, though.
Um, it's possible to to
ask it. It's possible to make, uh, session hosting for more than 7 to 8 people.
Uh, yes. Uh, we did actually have a stress test a while back.
I think someone went all the way up to sort of 20.
It was beginning to get laggy, but we can have more than eight people.
There is still drops there.
And we're still working on performance enhancements there.
There's lots that we can do to make that better.
Um,
dog
Bo says any plans for integrating them entry and the file browser.
Those two actually also kind of use the same code.
So again they kind of share improvements. But both of those need rewriting.
Um,
when the inventory code gets overhauled, could it cause any environment to be lost?
No,
The inventory is like, you know, like a library. This is I'm gonna show my age here.
You know, a library that the place you used to go to to get books.
Uh, libraries have index cards, and that's where you look.
You're trying to find a book. The inventory is a bit like a box of index cards.
It just points to the location of an actual object. Um,
in neo
Damn it. In reid systems, everything is, um
everything is basically stored as a record,
and then we collate that together into a, um
into an inventory, which is, you know, the more sort of normal way of of seeing it.
But everything behind that is still just like a big bucket,
a big bottomless pit of files, so those won't be touched.
It's just sort of the how the
cards look. You can think of it as like,
do you ever see those like Tik Toks where someone makes a journal I?
I keep a notebook of, like, stuff I need to do.
But there's Tik toks of people who make journals, and they get, like,
stickers and ribbons and coloured pens out.
And they're just like, you know,
they do the thing where you draw like a ribbon and they'll write like Tuesday on it
in like, colourful pen.
They're like, really good at doing them.
I don't have the time to do them all the patients, but like that,
that will be the new inventory.
Like the The information is still the same, it still says Tuesday,
but now it's on a nice ribbon.
I don't know if that
I'll just move on.
Uh,
keep it as any plans for people that transferred from one
platform to the other getting badges for their time spent.
Uh, not sure. TBD on that one.
Uh, peach clover says this is a way to currently search or locate public holds.
There is not,
uh, I might restart the directory. I'll wipe it clean and then have it going again.
But I'm not really sure if that's wise.
Uh, it might take a while.
Um, I'll have to see Fox says, if you know about some of my condolences. Yeah, Yeah.
Uh,
not only do I know about Sam, if you remember soap, soap was not soap.
The moderator soap. Uh, capital. It was before, before Ajax, we had soap
and I know that's really confusing,
because I just listed two like brands of cleaning products.
But like
Web technologies,
uh,
shadow says, can we expect the inventory settings tab to be facet based? Yes.
A good example of this is if you look at the world browser,
the World browser search bar is a facet.
The world browser page area
is a facet.
And so you could customise that. I don't know. Maybe you want the search bar to be.
I think you could do that. And it wouldn't affect the actual sort of grid.
Um, so the world browser is on the left is the philtre.
You know, the tutorials, games, worlds, et cetera.
That is a facet. The search bar is a facet.
Page
is a facet. So 1234, and then the middle grid. That's also a facet.
You can customise all of those in the world browser.
Nothing yet. Yeah.
Uh, ramp says,
would it be possible to let desktop users use the 3D dash if they want to in the future?
Uh,
that'll have to be a feature request, and we'll have to discuss that there. II.
I don't know why. Either way like you know.
So, you know, sometimes you just don't have an opinion on things.
I don't have an opinion on that one. So I have to discuss it over there, uh,
on a feature request,
uh, Grey Fox and says in the future,
you lock the to post until prime time actually starts.
You don't get backlogged with questions.
Um, no. Um, I knew that this was going to happen, so we're just gonna keep going.
We're just gonna keep going.
Um, we will cut off.
Actually, let's cut off at the top of the hour, because that point,
I'll be talking for two hours, so
hopefully we won't need to go there, but we will cut off at, um 6 p.m. I mean,
two hours speaking.
Um, my brain hurts a little bit, but we'll keep going,
uh, on a rate that will limit how many questions someone can ask.
Uh, it'll come down after a while.
Like imagine, like a month after launch. It's gonna calm down.
Um, it's just gonna be crazy for a bit. And that's absolutely fine.
Um, epic. Easton. Um
so reignite isn't for exist. Dog. Funny story about that one.
Someone suggested I name my new dog after Resonate and I'm like, No,
that's a bad thing to do.
But then someone was like, Why don't you shorten it to like Reggie?
And I'm like, Reggie's a great name for a dog, but it's got to be like a raggedy dog.
You know, one of those, like shaggy dogs that's got, like, lots of wiggly hair,
snowy asked, Do you think you could rename Red
U I to something like
resident UIUI?
I don't think we're renaming any of those parts we have renamed some other stuff.
But, you know,
uh, you I'm gonna skip that question. Um,
I don't really know how to answer it, so I'm gonna skip it.
Um, Alex asks, uh, or control emulation or thumbs stick emulation.
Proto fox nodes Come. This is handy for alternative input methods.
Uh, made in game like hand tracking, joystick, emulation,
eye tracking and rotating.
I'm not sure they'll be handling prof.
Um, like,
one of the things we want to do is want
to make it easier for people to integrate hardware.
Um, and that might help with those those areas. Um
uh, other than that I, I don't know those they seem like they might be problematic,
Duff says. Will the cheese supply status ever return to the status page?
I'm not sure why it was removed. I haven't asked. RAF.
I was considering asking R to remove it.
Um, just on a sort of stance of professionalism.
Um, some jokes are good, but like a
status page which people go to when,
uh, resonate crashes may maybe, maybe not,
um,
asked any plans for a fire browser?
Yes.
Uh, I talked about that before.
Uh, peach clover says, uh, that they used a modulus node.
Uh, what's that node called in proto.
I think it's called mod.
Um, one of the problems you'll notice is that the proto fo
node browser currently provides the names in text and not symbols we
are working on that you'll notice that when you spawn some nodes,
they have a different label in the world than they do in the proto fo
node browser. I wanted to think those up.
I just couldn't get the code working, um, in time for those, uh, new people coming in,
um, of note there,
the node browser and the proto flux visuals are not finished.
Um, more enhancements will come to those.
I'm not ready to talk about what those enhancements are. In some cases, I don't know.
Um, but like, if you're like, Oh, it's kind of like
you know, it it's OK,
but it's kind of like both of those things are gonna get a lot more work.
I'm sure of it.
Uh, Kia says I have an object which anyone looks at it. They crash. What?
Should I do it? You can post that on the github once it's available.
Uh, epic.
Easton says his fucks made away so it can be transpired from other languages.
I already answered that one.
No, but I'm sure it would be possible for someone to take a look at it.
Um,
Mona says other plans for a Web based U I for Resonate profiles. Yes.
We want to make sure that we have, um, like a a website presence.
Uh, particularly for things like resetting passwords, et cetera,
maybe managing all the things.
Um,
So,
yes, we're just We're not there.
We still do have some some code and some website stuff there, but, um,
we need more of it.
Uh, duff says, did the team plan on picking up where they left off? Uh, no.
Uh, prime doesn't like us. Confirmed. You're great.
I'm just sat here for two hours speaking to you. I could be doing many other things.
Um, Margo says was mass invented or discovered. That's a question for another day.
Um,
Dave
says what is the safest expectation of the
offline nearest backup tool for uploading to resonate?
I don't know.
You'd have to ask the author.
Uh, Aaron provided the location of the modulus operator is operators value mode.
Um,
skipping some more about the backup tool. You just go ask the author.
Would the team ever consider building out an interface that
would have similar interfaces to game engines such as unity?
Unreal.
Odo? Uh,
essentially providing a hierarchy viewport and inspector all in one window.
Uh, it's already all in one window.
It just happens to be that window that's stuck on your head,
I. I know what you mean.
Um, you're talking more about Sort of like desktop editing support.
Maybe in the future,
I encourage you to try and get used to the way that we're doing desktop support.
I do think that there might be a possibility in
the future for desktop support to maybe sort of pin
like a window to a part of the screen
so that maybe you can be like, Hey,
I've opened an inspector pin that to the right hand side of the screen,
that might be a sort of use case that might
help. Um, that sort of area.
Uh, Mr Depp says, Will there be more computing power before the launch?
In case of an influx of people, we are scaling things as we need to.
So it's possible for you guys to adding a chat box system to a quick menu wheel.
Uh, that's a community made feature.
So far,
we might have, uh, an official one later, but there are some really good community.
There's even a mute helper somewhere. That's usually what they're called.
Um, which does tiktok TT S. Give me a second while I cough.
Um, but, uh, yeah, we might make a, um a a
standard one soon.
Oh, gee, that's a bad cough.
Says my forms are a work of art. Uh, thank you for that. They're really not, though.
Um
Ok, bye. Now. I gotta skip your first question.
Uh, second question,
which is what is the resonate nipple of policy?
Um,
moderation are still making last minute changes to their
guidelines and and standing up all their systems.
They will be available soon.
Um, and moderation will also be hosting host hoarding, hoarding,
hosting their own office hours where you can ask questions,
Drai
says. How long is your ND a in effect for, um, as long as it needs to be.
I should just be, like, stupid there and be, like, two miles
just like answering with the wrong unit. How long is your ND a in effect for two miles.
Alex
asked. I wondering about one thing. Uh, there used to be builds for mobile devices.
And until now, when creating a world,
uh, asked of the word is mobile Uh uh, yes, we still want to support Mobile.
Um, it's just gonna be a lot of work.
Um, the unity situation is also making that more difficult.
Um, it will be a lot easier to sort of do stuff there.
Uh, when we are free from from unity. It's not that unity can't make mobile games.
It's just this lot going on, and we need to sort of switch off that,
uh, he
prime MMF. I'm going to BFC. Um, my budget is kind of low for events, though.
Um, I I have money like I have I. I could go. I just I'd like my My budget's slow for that.
I might have to go home for, like, the holiday period. And that that's a lot of money.
And that's an international flight.
Um
uh,
enemy nurses. Is it possible to stream on kick in of the same tools we have on twitch?
I'm not sure I haven't looked into kicks API.
Um, if one exists, um, make a feature request. We'll take a look. Uh, Fox Boxx.
Asked about a mute helper to the core. I just spoke about that,
uh, red kid has asked Will the wiki be used?
Try again.
Will the wiki be using Media Wiki? Yes, For now,
Um, Tey
says any plan to implement any better permissions? Yes.
Uh,
we will be doing a very sort of overhaul of
the permission system at some point to make it better.
OK, we're running long questions now. There's just a lot of chat.
Um, ultra wide game asks. Is there any plans. How are we going?
Yeah, a long time.
Plans of creating a game find world or similar to learn the basics of proto
Uh, yeah, I. I would love to see that I've often thought
of, like, a classroom
where
I don't know how many because that would depend on the classroom size, but, like,
imagine,
like a little platform or area or circle for each person in the class that has got,
like, a camera view of the teacher's little platform
and, um,
a synchronised view of what their their product flux looks like
So you can see their face and then what their proto
looks like like it was on a table or something.
Uh and then maybe even like a synchronised proto fo node browser.
So when the teacher goes into a particular folder of nodes, the the students, um,
browser follows that.
And then I also thought about maybe having like,
a a light on the top of each student's, um, podium.
I guess we'll call it.
They can, like, turn on if they need help or something.
Someone wants to build that. Go for it, make it look pretty.
Uh,
Aaron says that they still have the blueberry badge stock.
I will log a bug about that one. That shouldn't be happening.
Uh, it might be something to do with the new, uh, the new badge system,
but we'll take a look.
Um, you're not meant to have it.
Uh, I don't know if you're able to keep it. We might.
Sometimes we do jokes like that, but it's never, never certain,
uh, dus Kit and says, Why did you guys choose a light bulb for a mentor?
That would be a question for Kromer, who did all of our icons. Uh, R
asked what was the answer for that question Because they're in a meeting.
Unfortunately, if I continue going back to previous answers,
we'll never get out of this.
Like, I'll just be stuck here until the rest of time.
Um, so you're gonna have to listen to the recording. I apologise.
That will be a one hour, two hour recording. I apologise.
I will be cutting out silence so it might cut down the time a little bit.
Where is prime now? At your question. Grave,
uh, staff launch party. Um, I'm sure some launch events will go on.
Um, I don't know if we're going to have anything officially planned.
Uh, we still need to sort of talk about what's going on there.
I know that sort of like, regardless of anything that's planned,
the team will be online on launch day. Um,
provided nothing's on fire, just hanging out in various worlds.
Uh, sorry. Yeah. You're the headless arm arm person. Yeah. Yeah.
Headless arm guy. That sounds great. You should make a new avatar. So
no head, no arm or, like, one arm or something. I don't know.
Uh,
axes.
Would it be possible to do asset variant
competitions locally to bypass the waiting time?
Some are actually done.
Um, locally. Um,
yeah. Some are done locally.
Some aren't,
um
Beagle. Is there an official fix with extremely long fold names getting deleted.
That's still on my plate. It's still a sign to me. I just haven't had time to look at it.
Uh, ramp says that they're working on the check at local.
Great.
Uh, thank you so much for doing that,
Particularly the concentrate,
like if you have limited time and you're
doing local concentrate on registration account creation,
stuff like that,
um, it will really help us to get through.
Like maybe don't do a really obscure part of the U.
I but concentrate, you know, account registration, tutorial, tutorial as well,
Because we've got local strings there.
Um, however, a little bit of complexity happened this morning with, um,
the local PR.
Multiple people were PR in the same language, and it's just like I can't
like. I can't collate those because I don't speak the language. So
if you're doing a really big work on one of the languages,
maybe make an issue in that repo first and be like, you know, raise my hand.
I'm doing this. Please speak to me. Let's work together.
Otherwise,
we get to the point where eventually we're going to have
to pick one of those PR S like we've got.
I don't remember.
The exact language is, but it's something like we got two Esperanto.
That's the one we've got two Esperanto open PR S and I have
to let someone down by closing one of those and that that's hard.
I don't want to do that, but we we got it. We can't merge both, uh,
ultra wide.
It says the Japanese character actually is still broken and looks, uh,
you can log that on the bug reporter once we get it open.
Uh, Lex said
that, um
They made, uh, join very far. We had to join twice. That's great.
Um,
that's that. That's that's great. I I love.
Well, it'll be great.
Like if your name doesn't contain the seven, you can't join stuff like that.
Uh, margas is Would it refit the coin when someone attempt to join again?
I don't know. It depends. The, um
uh depends how it's it's implemented.
Uh, Mr. Depp says, will two FA be implemented for accounts should already be there.
Um, if you go to the bottom right hand corner of the new dash facets,
there should be the two FA one.
you should be able to do that.
Um,
that icon, by the way, is called a top hat. It's top hat dot PNG.
We redid all the icons as many as we could. Um, but
we didn't change their names in some cases because it was just like, you know,
the code says like, top hat dot PNG in a few places,
so we just left it as top hat dot PNG or whatever it is.
Um,
says the sign
has so many possibilities.
Uh, only having, um, on user join is under some possibilities.
It's a security thing.
If I, I could write it tomorrow. A
node where you put in a, um you put in a call and it changes the role of the user
and then
within, like, 30 seconds of that being in the build,
Someone's got a button on their avatar like a really big red button.
You know, like nuclear launch button.
They go into any world, they just thump it and their admin
it it's just it's not gonna happen until we can prevent that from happening.
Uh, beagle says,
uh, what about the prompt timing out when a join request is is denied
because the world is full of closed. That should be fixed.
Now, um, I've also got a fix in that should be again suitability review pending,
Um, that also show when it completes. Um,
right now, we just delete it when the world completes loading.
Um, but the content team added,
like a a green effect to the world loader when the world finishes loading.
And I've I've made that network
sorry. I mean to Hi. Up off, mic. I just Hi. Up directly into the mic.
Um, Also, for some reason, my cloud
or and
usually end or a local home will crash randomly.
Uh, you're probably not the only one with that issue.
Make sure you post some, um uh, crash logs on the get up when they're there.
Um, Alex, ask unity.
Upgrade to 2023 unity rendering When I currently
got a lot of unity crashes on Resonate,
Um, probably never, Um, by the time we get to, like, even VR chat isn't on 2023
I, I would hope like we we'll go there if we need to. Of course. But
I would hope that source is available before we need to make that jump. Uh,
she
was
suspiciously B.
A
Harry Potter smells,
um,
adding on to this Has the rest of my team considered a
package exportable and re portable avatar files similar to a unity package?
Um,
yes, we have considered it. I don't know what we would go for.
I would hope that we would go for a standard.
Um, someone posts the standards comic from XK CD because, like that will happen.
But like, there should be a standard that we can,
um do,
uh, take it is ready to be
Turkey says,
Is there any plan
to be able to play play, pay for cloud
space or the Hitler serve our patreon?
There's a thread, I think, in the General Forum. Um, where
S is talking about some other possibilities.
They are not confirmed, but possibilities for monetization solutions.
We are looking into them. I'm lightheaded from laughing now. Great.
Um,
Super Lama
face. Great user name says my first time being here. One of these.
I love what you guys are doing or the game platform can't really, uh, can't
blah blah
platform already and can't wait to see where it goes.
I'm glad to be supporting this project.
Will the settings and sessions you I become more user friendly.
Yes, it's due for an overhaul. Will there be items such, uh, for
things people share? Yes. Is the game staying more VR focused or desktop use?
Be an easier, uh, be easier. You do
desktop use be easier to interact with the game soon?
Um,
yes.
Um
we want to try and make it work for like everything I know,
some of the team are even running it on their steam deck Now, et cetera,
I know that a few people have managed to get things working on android phones.
I hope that you don't put those in your pocket after using them because, like,
I'm sure the android phone is like lava. But
But yeah, we want to make sure as many sort of platforms as possible.
Um,
yes.
Um, and then super arm faces. Two more questions that are odd
is the maths.
We'll talk later about math being discovered or created. Um,
can we add me on
reignite? If I say yes, I get, like, 500 friend requests. So
the rule that I have with with contact request friend
requests on Resonate is I have to see you at least
more than one time.
Like as an example here there's someone like, you know,
enters a like I get no scoped by people that come onto onto the platform.
They join the world, and they're just like team member
3 60. No scope on their name, badge add contact. And it's just like, uh, who are you?
So if I see you more than once. I'll accept it.
If I only see you once, I'm not going to accept it.
Which basically means find me more suspiciously be.
I managed to say your name correctly this time.
What are the team's ideas on making full body calibration? Easier to do.
Uh, freaks has actually spent a lot more time in full body recently,
and he's got a bunch of ideas on how to make that better.
Uh, so I'm hopeful for that one
again. No, Um,
uh,
No, uh, ETA S, et cetera. On that, just
But they they have been spending a lot more time in in full body.
So they they they're more understanding of that.
See, I failed it again. I'm sure I'm
sure. Will you be, Um, apologise That words difficult. B, um
resonate funds generally used right now.
Uh, for the most part, Uh, just server costs.
Right now we do have some some other costs coming up.
I would love to get you guys a pie chart.
In time, we won't have, like, the the numbers on the pie chart.
Um, but like, we'll have the percentages. Maybe,
um
uh BR.
So their plans to licence the software to businesses, universities,
other institutions similar to other platforms.
Uh, yes.
Um, like I said, I'm not sure which ones I can and can't talk about,
so I won't talk about any of them, but you can see from Sam.
Will support. That is purely for businesses. As Fox Boxx said, it is like
I understand why Sam L exists.
It's a really good system because of the complexities that are involved in, um,
uh, cross organisation authentication, which is what Sam is for.
But like God, I wish it was simpler.
Uh, Ricky, I just answered the full body questions, so we'll skip that one.
Um, are you or other team members worried about the unity runtime fee?
I don't know if you've seen that there's an update to the, um, situation there,
and it means that I'm not worried at all like we'll keep an eye on it.
But like instead of a train like being on a
train track and a train hurtling through you for you,
it's more like the train is is further away or on a different track.
It might still like, you know, switch tracks and, like squash us.
But it's it's much further away now that that change has been made.
Uh, enrich.
Good to see you. Um, I have missed you.
Will we be getting a search function in the inspector? Uh,
sorry, I. I read without reading.
We'll be getting a search function in the inspector to find, uh, games anytime soon.
And how has one not gone insane without one?
Uh, I'm not sure on that one, so I don't know right now
in a similar vein Wo
wo wo
just like turned into a trade
We will be able to move multiple objects at once any time soon. Multi
Select was there for years but didn't actually do anything.
I think their multi
select their multi select option is still there.
I think it's bugged and it needs fixing.
Uh, we you can move components now, and I love I love moving components.
Particularly moving a material component Means,
like taking a material out of the asset system and back into the
object if you suddenly need to drive on its properties is beautiful.
I love it.
Um, B says Meite
merch plan.
Uh, that would be a chroma question. Chrome is handling, um, merch. Um
for
just a quick caveat there because I know that we've got a bunch of, uh, cons coming up.
Um, we are OK. If you are making unlicensed merch,
if you start selling it,
that's not OK.
Uh,
so I know that a few people are like throwing our logo
at some sticker people and throwing our logo at some pin people.
That's OK. Just you can't sell it.
Um, Aruba
says Hello. Question. Will trans.
I just get any free storage for making a full translation?
I'm not sure I need to talk to the team about that one.
particularly with the influx right now. Translations.
We could get to a point where we've accidentally
given away more storage than we should be,
so I need to keep an eye on that one.
It isn't that we don't appreciate your translations.
It's just that we need to keep an eye on that so that we don't,
you know, eat into our money by accidentally giving away.
It's like, Ah, we've just got a submission for, like a really obscure language.
We've got to give everyone that worked on that 25 gigabytes.
It it it would get out of control quickly.
Um, there might be other awards that we can do. I don't want to say it, but badges.
Maybe that's not confirmed. That's just an idea.
I have to be clear about that when it's an idea that I personally have.
You know, me and badgers. Um
uh, uh,
Lima says that's not really true that a full collection system is needed.
If you support two of something, you can make a linked list,
which is a type of collection.
Um, like iterating over a linked list would still need collection support.
Beverage break cos
dehydration Every time I mute or if there's questions or if I get lost,
I'm I'm sipping drinks.
I actually need to get food at the end of this, but we're good.
We've got nine more minutes.
How come system badgers, um, also end up getting, um, moved over?
Uh, we we made a distinction that
events which we honoured previously, should have still have their badges.
Um,
question does not use dot net seven or six.
it's dot net framework. Something, something. Something.
Um, remember, I I'll I'll have to look at that one,
I. I forget
the reason I forget is that our cloud based services
can use a different version from the actual engine.
The engine has to use a particular version because then it gets sort of, you know,
shoe horned into unity and unity will complain if it's
on a too higher version because unity uses mono.
Um,
uh, is there a plan for people who migrated to have a badge? Don't know.
What about badge for users who joined Resonate in 2023? Don't know,
uh, racist proto
scares them. Yeah, it scares me, too. I'm I'm I'm figuring it out.
Uh, peach clover says, Did I read that? Prof
includes a written format as well as visual? Uh, it does not.
Currently, we're looking into sort of things like, uh, Web assembly.
They might not be called or named proto.
It might be a separate system, but again, that's a cloud passing on a summer's day.
Like it's an idea. But there's no sort of me
a
meaty cloud. That's an idea. Let's not do that.
Uh, peach clover has some information about that stress test I mentioned,
uh, the session went to 32 before we dropped to five frames per second
uh,
I'm just gonna call you SCP night.
I know that's probably not correct, but SEPS are cool.
Uh, what type of resources will be available for new players at launch?
Um, so there is the, um,
the local world, the tutorial, and then the cloud home.
And then there will be, um there's the mentor centre as well. There's mentors.
And there might be, like,
other worlds that people are making much faster than we can.
But we want more experiences to to be made by by our content team as well.
Um, why is why is the legacy inventory still the thing?
Uh, for legacy reasons? Uh, someone needs it. Or maybe we just forgot to remove it.
Special. Le says, what is the format that will be used for the road map?
It will be a github.
Uh, project board projects have come a long way since we last used them.
Um, there won't be more than one project board for the road map.
There will just be one. And we'll have a lot more properties to philtre it by,
um,
Hiccup. Uh, Margaret. So their plans to be able to turn off badges we want to make it.
I'm gonna use an analogy here.
That only works for people who know what I'm talking about.
We want to make it a little bit, Um,
like a profile system where you can turn them on and off the way I see that is a bit like,
um, the Pokemon gym badges.
Right. Ash hides them in his jacket and shows them when he needs to.
Or takes one out when he needs to
in Pokemon. So we want to make it a bit like that. Like so for example, you might say,
um,
I don't want to be a mentor right now so you could hide the mentor badge.
That might be a good one.
epic. Easton says, Well, as my t-shirt badge. I don't think that you're, um uh,
allowed to have a t-shirt badge. I don't know why you'd have a t-shirt badge.
Did we get a new release?
You're gonna get
a
awesome thing. I read change logs in my British accent to people.
Sometimes if we're in a session,
um, I will do that right at the end here.
Uh, Spyro says, How is peer?
Sorry.
Let me put my teeth back in. That's a phrase we use in Britain as well.
Um, how is peer to peer
going to be secure in regards to people being able to pull in and out files?
Um, file operations are not peer to peer at all. Um, So,
uh, if you load into neos right now and you're just hanging out in a world, you're, um,
actually running two different worlds at the same
time you're running the world that you're in,
which is peer to peer and has everyone in it.
But, um, if you are importing files or in your dash, reignite
is doing that in another world called users space.
Now, users space is not networked.
So when you look at your file system on the file, browse,
that's just you. No one else can see that
when you import a file from your file system.
What you do is you say to, um, say to resonate this file,
I would like to share it with the world, and then it becomes
it becomes linked
into that peer to peer environment.
It like transits that layer between local to peer to peer,
uh, same with export.
But just in in the reverse, so no one actually has access to your, um, file system.
There is one exception to that, but it's a safe exception,
which is the right text to file proto flux node
that only works in an unsafe world.
Unsafe worlds are very difficult to join because they're only allowed to be on land.
So if you you know, if you're at a land party
and you're in an unsafe world, maybe someone can write a text file to your computer.
But it will be very clear when that's happening.
Like it's like This is an unsafe world, et cetera.
Plus, like you'd probably get like,
netted around during because, like there's no real lands these days.
Like if it's a house, it works, sure, but if it's like a hotel or a university,
like each room has its own V land.
And
um
uh, Zieger
says,
can we get a general input node that works for
all input types like keyboard and several controller types?
Eventually,
um, we do have the keyboard nodes. Um, I.
I guess you're looking for, like, a larger one.
That would be very big, like do you want,
like every keyboard key like on the node or something.
I'll be very big. I'll just
directions. Oh, yeah, I see what you mean there. Like we like, You know, um, a
means strafe left. We could provide that as an input. Yeah, I see what you mean.
And that means also if they rebind it, So, for example, I don't know.
They're not AWS D user. They're
a IJKL user. Trust me. IJKL users exist. They are very strange.
Um,
you know, it would still be bound correctly if we had keyboard bindings.
Uh, glad to hear that. The the cheese was removed for professionalism.
Ah, no hard feelings on on.
I was just gonna speak to you about it and be like, Hm, Maybe not
so good. Good. Thank you for that.
Um, B says, why aren't the different file extensions different colours?
Like some other places?
We have a colour palette now, and so we kind of have to stick to that.
In some places, we might be introducing colours more as we go. But
every time we need a new colour, we have to go to chroma and say,
Can you give us a colour?
It makes it sound like a you know, like a basket. Like a basket.
Like, you know, can I have a colour?
Like, you know,
rubbage is around in this sort of dragon treasure horde of colours and goes here,
this blue.
Um, I am very bad at colours, so I appreciate it like it looks good,
but I'm still very bad at colours,
so I'm probably not seeing what everyone else is seeing.
Um,
annoying rain says possibility of using two FA physical, two FA tokens. Yes.
We want to investigate that.
Uh, we want to make that, um, like, even more secure, like the the bottle commands.
I mentioned that I run till I help you guys out some of those commands.
We want those to require a
two FA token from the team to use. So,
uh,
that prevents issues where, like, you know, uh,
someone forgot to lock their computer and someone runs over and goes like lol ban
because,
you know, like it would it would require, like, access of the two FA to do so,
uh, Zain says,
and we participate in them and see that then gifted additional storage.
When can I expect to see the storage on someone's account.
We're logging those in a big spreadsheet right now.
Uh, and then when we have a chance to go back over them, we will,
Um we're waiting for some advancements to how storage works to to
grant those that makes it easier for us to do it.
Right now, that's only something that fruits can do.
Uh, Dax
is something I've never
seen or heard anything about is what is edit mode? Edit mode has a perfect example.
Um, I love that the team did this. So thank you for providing a perfect example.
Edit mode explicitly says to the world, I want to edit it.
There are certain items that are signalled in
sort of normal development in edit mode,
but you can also use it throughout your system to figure out is the world in edit mode.
So the example which I saw which did very well is an experience called a band,
which is one of the M MC entries.
It's a sort of horror game where you have to explore various areas, et cetera.
Those areas are split across the entire world,
and the world has like no skybox because it's all like handled there are like,
you know, dome skyboxes, et cetera, but like there's no skybox outside those areas.
But when you go into edit mode,
the actual sky box for the world brightens up and
you can fly around and see the distinct areas of that
ma and enter them.
And I think they even had labels above them again.
Were invisible if you weren't in edit mode, which is like if you're flying over here,
that's the sewers because it was difficult to find those
distinct parts across spread out across the actual map.
Very good.
Uh,
said there's any public structure about the team company.
There is yellow dog man dot com.
We do want to update that,
but additional people that want to be on there it is a opt-in thing.
If you want to be on there.
Not everyone wants to sort of have their name there, etcetera.
Um,
pitch Clever says that the current default
video player supports subtitles and chapters.
It does not,
but it might
soon,
um, like it's possible,
uh, in about
two hours. If if Erin's here, I'm a good friend of mine. They added.
Sponsor block to the default video player in about two hours. It was good.
It might have been longer than that, but it looked like it was two hours.
I was there for two hours of it.
Let's all post yellow dog band dot com. Yay!
OK, scroll past the yellow Dog Band wall
or 18. 01. How many questions do we have?
OK, no more questions, and I'll do the whole list.
No more questions. I'm gonna do the whole list
and no more questions.
We're not that far. We can do it. We can do it.
Or will they be a text version of this prime time?
Um, I generate V files and S RT files from this transcription.
Um, you can technically read those.
Um, they just got, like, time codes in them and stuff.
Um, B asked, Would I be able to donate spare computing power to re
asset competitions? No. Due to data privacy laws, Uh, we are an EU company.
And so, like, if we do one thing wrong, the EU.
Is basically going to fine us like 2% of our yearly revenue or something.
So we got to be very careful on that.
Um, Margas is with the daylight savings time. Um, issue for two FA fixed.
Uh, if that's still occurring, please make a bug report. Um,
what is the current focus on, uh, for Resonate? The the two focuses.
Well, three, I don't know.
The focuses that we kind of have right now are new user experience.
That's kind of my focus right now.
So you'll see me doing a lot of local stuff right now.
Um, stability. That's mostly on
end. He's sort of watching the servers as people come online
and
preventing
again. Sorry to use her as a scape boat, preventing people from needing to DM shifty.
What we mean by that is any team member.
So we're trying to make everything as self service as it can be.
Um, that is also covered by the support system, right. We we want it so that
it starts leaving people sort of, uh, general headspace that to get something done,
they need to DM someone, right?
It's if you want support support system.
If you have a question that can be crowd sourced, this score here is perfect place.
If you need a moderation, you go to the moderation website. If you need a bug track.
You go to the bug Tracker.
If you need to change your group or your badges or stuff,
you use the self service commands.
It's not that we don't
like you. It's that we want to talk to you about better stuff that is more impactful.
Like I'd love to talk to you all day about how prof
works,
but I'm too busy standing in my cloud home entering Resonate Box commands.
Uh, Damien asks about the hiccups. They're just random
I. I got a few friends that also have hiccups. It's fun.
Um, does renite do anything different?
Uh, when the local home crashes, I'm not sure You'd have to clarify what that means.
A two mile long question. Excellent. We're keeping up with this meme.
Is there some way of information on the headless?
Uh, there will be once the wiki is up.
Uh, in addition to sort of headless access on patron et cetera.
Um, Alex asks, What does importing
models look like? Currently
there's this brilliant comedian in the UK called, uh, Rowan Atkinson,
and he can make any word funny just by
the way he says he's another very physical actor.
He uses his um, motion and face a lot more than he speaks.
He actually has a character called Mr Bean, who doesn't speak very rarely speaks.
Um,
and
he just says the name Bob. It's such a funny way. It's like, Bob.
It's like
I will giggle every time.
But apparently that's British humour, Bob,
if you make any word sound funny anyway, so,
um, that's what reminded me of it.
I have a model that always freezes at the same moment, is unable to continue loading.
I don't really care about it anymore. I'm curious what causes such behaviour?
Um, if there's a model that you're having trouble with,
please open a bug report and provide that model.
If that model is like
or something, note that in the issue,
and someone will contact you when they're investigating the issue
to sort of have a look at that model.
We've had a number of cases of that. For example, are you by the name of Earth
Earth?
If we're in the chat Hello? Nice to hear from you also C pats.
Um
uh, their avatars leg kind of just was like freaking out.
And there's now actually a test in our code base that verifies that,
um, Earth Mark's leg works.
Um,
I had a mop that I imported,
and the mop, like its geometry, was rotated 90 degrees from its colliders.
It was very strange. And we fixed that one up as well.
Uh, my homie joe says, How does the verify function?
I talked about that at length earlier on.
I don't know how it works, but there will be a tutorial soon.
Um,
Erin says, are you able to join A
Are you able to store the joint request handle of someone trying to join? Um,
I think it needs to happen in the same The same chain, the same group,
uh, rados
about the, uh, headless stuff again
on and around the area. Um, we start moving those thingies.
Uh, those restrictions, the stick. Great user name. So, speaking of Sam,
any plans to have steam account linking like VRC has?
I would love to see it. I don't know if we have any plans for it right now.
I would love to see achievements, and I've got millions of ideas for them, but, like,
I don't know what the priority on that is.
Uh,
Gun Gryphon Do you have eyes yet? Gun Gryphon? I can never remember.
Like Gun made their own avatar.
It was great, but it didn't have eyes for a while, and it was very creepy.
Um, is there an option to make a collider still register when No. No.
OK, so this question comes up a lot.
Um, and the answer is always No, but it's a foundation or no,
no clip is is named because it doesn't clip. So if you want no clip to clip No,
it no clip will never clip because it's called no clip.
Uh, and he plans to add an age verification process down the line to make managing,
limiting access to worlds.
We want to kind of, like, fix that problem,
but we want to do it in a way that is OK and that everyone is happy,
as happy as possible with and and and something that I, you know,
honours things like privacy, um,
identities, all sorts of stuff like that.
So it's an area that, like I would love to see a fix for, But I'm not.
I'm not really seeing a way to do it completely.
We've started down that line with the date of birth. That one is just because, um,
we wanted to store that and and maybe use it.
But But it was also a data terms of service thing requirement.
Um, so it's not got any plans to be used in that way yet,
But we we're thinking about it, but we want to do it right.
Uh,
says Aren't we still stuck on dot Net for I? I don't know what version.
I could look it up, but I will just forget instantly.
Does somebody else have, like, data like that?
Like you read something and you just forget it
like so I I look at like, Yeah,
this is the version that fru engine runs and then I just forget it.
I'll tell you another example of that.
The whole, like, overall synopsis of
10. I just can't keep in my head. I'm like, Oh, wait a minute. Who's? Who's Titus?
Why does he exist again?
Oh, like what?
Like what happened? Like what was the start? I. I just can't keep it in my head.
It just it won't stay in my head. And even worse is
fancy. 10 2 that, like sequel that just will not stay in my head.
Same thing we found
13 because they just add
to everything. It's like, Oh, yeah, it's a pulse and a and a flux FC.
And you just like, What does this even mean?
Oh, here we go. So Double Six says it's 462. I will forget that instantly.
Thank you for telling me, though,
Uh, what's the policy of age restriction? Content creation, like video streaming.
There will be full, uh, moderation guidelines available soon.
And the moderation office hours.
If you asked more questions about that I, I know the answer, but I don't want to, um,
say the answer because moderation have to have the opportunity to put out their
guidelines once they're ready and then have
that moderation office hours and introduce them.
Then,
uh, there are no more questions. As I said, there's just spam. So thanks for that.
But as I promised, there is a treat.
Um,
OK, cool. We got two to read through. I'm gonna do this because people like it.
Um I'm not looking at chat anymore. I'm gonna read this.
Then we'll stop the recording.
So Fruits released at 5. 27 2023 10 421.
Here's a chunk of the new commands for setting
and managing two D and 3D badges for patreon,
which I was just talking about.
This is great. More to come soon a few other fixes, tweaks and local updates as well.
Um, added set two D badge Badger
Command that allows any user to set and update their custom two D badge.
You got that right. You don't need to talk to us anymore.
There all needs to be a S DB or just the pure hash of the asset.
Add added set 3D badge record
URL Command that allows any user to set or update
their custom 3D badge if they have the 3D badge entitlement
in order to use it,
your three further upload your 3D badge to your inventory and use and click Get
URL to get its record.
URL this.
The item will have basic validation applied to it, and if it fails,
it provide a reason why it failed.
The item should only have one mesh render one step mesh up to 100 and 28 triangles,
or 256 vertices and maximum one texture.
This will also be limited to 1 28 pixels.
Any components not on the white list will be cleared out.
Only allowed components are static texture. Two D static mesh static shade
mesh Render a spinner wiggler panel one D to panel four D and materials added clear.
Two D badge command that lets anyone clear their custom badge.
Added a clear 3D badge command that lets anyone clear their custom 3D badge.
Add Create group name command for creating groups. This can be used by any user.
Has the benefit to create a group.
Tweaks limited to two D badges to 1 28 pixels on load by
default only show custom two D badges when the user has currently active.
Two. D badge Benefit.
Oh, so it hides them. That's really cool. We're making sure that we get your money.
Basically, it's like if you don't have that entitlement anymore, it's hidden.
Only show 3D badge where the user has the entitlement. I love it.
Clean up 3D badges that do not have valid bounds.
Um, that should fix a bug that Big Red Wolfe knows about
Remove temporary steering DRM. OK, that's gone. It's gone
um you must not share build with other users,
but you should have less issues with headless stuff.
Uh,
merch Finished Local updates by Tony Japanese Local updates by Caso JoJo and Reum
Merch Polish updates by Alex Tupai Saw you asking questions. See
instant action,
uh, merged Chinese Local updates by
Huang
uh Russian local updates by shadow
Confused
Yin and Stanislavsky merged Korean Local updates by me
Peek
uh, merged Free image library fix for Linux by I am
Greer
Fixed asset entry types Reinterpreting this the existing
entries and the database as a different type
uh, an extra bill.
This is to fix issues that are affecting specific users, plus a cloud update.
So unless you're affected by the issues like this,
you do not need to update immediately.
This build is compatible with previous This is 2023 10 +451,
adding so changing emails will now ignore um, open,
angular brace and close angular brace which are not supposed
to be part of the email address implemented by me.
Um, there was someone who might be in the audience that that that was subject to that,
um, no hard feelings.
We now disallow them.
Their patreon wasn't working because their email had those around it.
But we got we got them fixed up.
Uh, bug fixes fix inventory items with no name,
causing the inventory to be blank based on a report from chroma
slip and techie,
uh, fix uns share button status not being updated properly in the inventory.
That might help with some of your confusion in, um, the inventory buttons as well.
There you go. Those are the updates.
If there was a skipped question, I'm sorry.
There were, like, hundreds of questions. We'll be live again tomorrow.
I think tomorrow is the early one.
We have more questions. I'll make a thread.
Um, and you can start putting them in transcription for This will be up later today.
I'm gonna take a break, grab some food, et cetera.
So it's gonna take a while before I can process the transcription.
But I will see you guys next time.
Have fun
