All right. Welcome to 2024. 1st prime time of 2024. So we
had to get started with the questions that are in the thread.
It's a reminder. I only answer questions that were in the thread.
If you post them anywhere else, you haven't been listening. Post them in the thread.
Um, so first question coming up in the thread is how did you celebrate New Year? Um,
I was down at GE's
house. Gins throws a party every year.
It gets bigger and bigger and bigger and better. Uh, we had a good fun good time. Um,
yeah. Lots of good stuff happened.
It's always weird. Cos like I never really, like put much importance in port once
in Port
One.
It was a weird way of saying it.
Anyway, I never put much importance in, like the actual event of the new year.
So, like, you know, the the fireworks going off and us going
Oh, it's New Year, III. I just see the night as a whole.
So as a night as a whole, it was good.
The five minutes before and after New Year were questionable.
There was a lot of traffic And so Fox were Fox Earth. If you're in here,
um
and I would just stood in a corridor.
There we go, Uh,
modern art. So any plans for the new year is and development plans for this month?
Uh, we don't really have, like, road maps or plans.
Like I'm still working on C I CD stuff today. I
hope i'll be over to some other things soon.
Um, just finishing up there, uh,
turns out that, uh,
the native libraries that some of the dependencies I had weren't
be copied into the unity specific side of things correctly,
and they I update a random batch file, which I absolutely detest.
But it's the only way that we can actually get,
uh, unity stuff. Working sometimes is this random batch file, so I'm gonna edit it.
Um, yeah, that's the plan, at least for today.
Um,
Lex says,
do you think Net net reflection is a good way to create external tools that use, uh,
resonates in house, uh, libraries?
I think you're gonna have to do it
like I've always heard from, um, like,
like the rest of the world. I guess
that, like, reflection is slow and should be avoided.
But when it comes to like a a an environment like resonate,
you really don't have the ability to not right.
You need to know what types are available so that the attached component menu works.
You need to know what types are available such that the node selector works,
et cetera.
So reflections a necessary evil for for re,
um, there isn't actually anything preventing us from, um,
releasing things like cloud X dot not cloud X.
Um,
what's it called
Sky for stop base and stuff like that on Noa
and having, like, uh,
uh,
published dependencies that you can include in other projects there like
they wouldn't be open source and they wouldn't have documentation.
But there's no real reason why they can't be on Noa.
So I'll look into that and speak to the team about it
like we already give you that DLL if you download Resonate,
so why not just give it to you on like it doesn't
like there's no like it. It's no different, Really.
Like on Nua.
It's just like you can include it in a project really easily.
I know a bunch of projects would love to have them as Nua
because they would have, like, they'll be able to rip out
so much. Like look for the reson
DLL code that they have in their, like,
CS projects and batch files and all sorts of stuff like that.
So, yeah, I'm looking into it. Uh, Rhino says, uh, what's the city?
Easter egg and reson? I would tell you, cos they're meant to be fun and and engaging.
So have a look. Oh, my
Hulu just randomly started playing the next episode of a TV show.
I was watching like, yesterday.
I'm helping.
I'm gonna just resume at full volume this TV show. Good job, Hu
Uh,
B one MB
Bley. Whatever.
Um, how many words are there in Resonate now,
which is the largest in terms of data site?
Um, I know that like I, I go on a lot about, um when questions.
But I'm gonna add a statistic question. Right. So what you just asked me to do
Bley is to to, uh,
like,
go to the database and query how many worlds
there were and query the largest one like it's it
is an ok question,
but, like, not really suitable for like a live environment like this.
Like you can go look like Go look at published worlds, Uh, and you'll see like you can
You can see how many there are to a page.
And you can see how many pages there are, et cetera,
and you'll be able to,
um, sort it out.
Uh, so, yeah, I'm not I'm not gonna sit here and go query a database, though.
Uh, spec says that someone with a github,
uh, work for action that has to download resonate through steam.
Yeah, like there's just no real reason to do it
like there's a way to achieve it.
Or I've just gotta get, like, go ahead from the from the team a little bit
because, like, I was looking into, like, the next dependency on to publish to, um
like, get C I CD going for the actual engine is proto
flux.
And I'm like, that should kind of be private, right, because, like,
we don't have like, a source for that one available.
It's like Well, yeah, it is private.
But like the DLL is public, like once the DLL is created it,
it goes in a package manager.
So I would, like do the same.
Github
Action.
Uh, step,
You just wouldn't be able to see the github
action or the compilation of the source code.
But a nougat package would still,
um,
exist on nougat and be able to be used. And then that way we wouldn't have, like,
it's so easy for like, you know, new team members to to develop resonate
The only difference there would be, I guess if you wanted to publish,
uh um DLL S that we don't give out.
For example,
the cloud services We would never publish those
DLL S because those cloud services must remain,
uh, secret
than, um, sky frost dot base
those you guys don't even know the name of.
They're like sky frost.co sky frost dot API skyros
dot
G
But like those were published pub. Uh, privately.
We also might not publish, like the documentation X MLS or the PD BS for those ones.
But there's no real reason why they can't be on on on new yet.
I don't see any additional questions. So do do keep them coming.
One is asking about the unity to resonate converter. Um,
it's not on our priority list anywhere near the top. So, like
it can go away. Like
it it We'll get to it when we can.
But, like, right now, like, it's nowhere near on our prior
list. So
it's just like flying in the sky.
Uh,
VT a, uh, says Is there a prime voice pack for Alexa?
No. I use Google home. I really need to get to, like, home assistant or something.
Um, but like,
you know what Google wanted you to do when they started
making everything so easy they wanted you to rely on them.
Well, for the reasons anyone else thinks, But for the reason of laziness, Right.
So the reason why I still use Google products and why I still use Google
Mail is I'm lazy and I just want it to work and it works.
They started charging me money now and I'm like, Cool. You can have $2 a month.
I don't like I'm so lazy. I can't set up a calendar or a mailbox. It's so complicated.
Like you set up a mailbox by yourself. Like most of the time.
Your message will be marked as spam simply because it isn't coming
from Google like workspace.
accounts like I need to look into it because apparently I can reduce it down to, like,
zero.
But like,
there was a button I didn't push or something. It's really like, you see what I mean?
Like, I would have to expend
so much energy to, like, get it down to free by either.
Like figuring out what pricing structure of mistake I made or by moving to, like,
mail in a box or something like that
where I my messages would be flagged as spam. It's like
Jesus, like, I've got better things to do today. You know,
you can have my $2.
Uh, Alexis, how actively does YD MS team dispel community related false rumours?
The brands being more active about it?
Yeah, I wanna get everything read, um, written and
and and like shared.
So, of course, Wiki will be a big part about, like, dispelling new rumours, but, um,
the policies page right now, um resonate.com/policies I want that to have, like,
every policy known to man on it, right?
Like if we make a policy about
I don't know
the colour yellow, I want it to be on there, right,
cos the biggest way to dispel rumours is
to have easily readily available information that exists.
Something I have seen periodically that pisses me off to no end
is someone like Look at that and say, Well,
that's not official Co Fruits didn't write it And it's like No,
but like a yellow dog Man Studios team member wrote it.
And like we're part of a company,
Um, it's just like, Come on. Like Like, we're we're a team. There's lots of us now.
We all do various different things.
So yeah, that would that would also dispel the rumours.
Uh, just going through rumours off the top of my head.
No, for body is not bad to prevent. Um ER P. Um, people keep saying that one.
And I'm like, what?
We don't deliberately make our features difficult
or problematic to prevent any behaviour.
That's stupid.
Um,
uh, let's see other rumours I've had,
uh,
we're being bought by Facebook. We're not being bought by Facebook.
Guarantee that one. That one keeps coming out.
Uh,
it's just like various other stupid rumours.
And I'm like, I don't like I don't understand.
Rampa says, uh,
someone will construct some documentation by looking at the assembled libraries
they they can do that already happens with the modern community.
They're like, Hey, you wanna make a mob that does this? Go ask them.
They'll help you out.
Like putting them on nugar
wouldn't make it easier.
It would make it easier, but like it wouldn't
give you any additional information is the point.
Uh, epic says, will you become a lethal company monster?
I am researching and and like, when I say researching,
I want you to be very careful here.
It probably never will be finished
and never will be got and never will be finished or published or anything like that.
But I was doing
research on making a VRM mod for lethal, which would be very cool,
but probably never gonna happen.
Cos I was just basically like reading the VRM spec reading how to mod, uh,
lethal company
reading some mods that existed et cetera and then dying because the
biggest complexity there would be networking the VR MS to someone else's computer
anyway, so that's not gonna be released. But I am researching, um
yeah, Modern says. I heard the rumour that fruits got full body recently.
I kind of get really annoyed at rumours that are, like,
more personal than company wise.
It's like,
you know, I heard a rumour that, like this specific person on the team,
did this specific thing and it's like, just, like, keep it focused on the company,
right?
Or a company?
Yeah, if it had full body for years, Um,
they just like I don't understand.
Everyone's like I didn't realise you had full body prime.
Yeah, I've had full body for years as well.
I just don't use it because it's a pain to set up in resume
and then some other people are like, Yeah, the nearest team.
Uh, sorry Resonate team don't care. It's like, Well, I just told you,
I don't use full body or resonate because it sucks, right? I care. I wanna use it.
Uh, like I said, Something I've heard of,
like custom games and models is everyone will have the model downloaded
before to sh it shows each other instead of networking the model.
Yeah, like I like I said, it's just like I'm researching it.
It probably never will happen.
Um, if it does, you'll you'll see it and it'll be really popular or someone else will,
you know, beat me to it.
Which is the other thing?
Uh, VT a says. How does one hug a pro
prime? Uh, you don't I don't accept hugs.
Um,
Muki says product idea. Quick set of full body.
It's just like we just need to rework the IK.
And then we'll work the full body calibrator and then you'll be fine.
Uh, Moki
says full body doesn't really work right now. It absolutely works.
Don't get me wrong. You can use it. You can have a good time.
You can set it up. You can be fine. I just II I whatever I do, it's wrong
and I don't want to go near it. Right. So you your your mileage may, May, May, may vary.
I see lots of people in full body. I see lots of people enjoying full body.
I see lots of people liking full body.
I just
like I spend 20 minutes trying to get it to like how I lunt it and
then like I crash and I got it all again and I get really confused,
and I'm just like, I would rather just,
like, ignore it and and resonate right now,
Uh, Nia
is asking about the wiki as a reminder.
The wiki issue has all the information about the wiki,
including who will have access to edit it.
Everyone will.
And so I'm gonna reiterate these things about the wiki
because I feel that they're still going to be ignored.
When the wiki launches, it is not going to look really cool.
Everyone's expecting it to look really cool. It's not going to look really cool.
Everyone's going to expect it to be complete. It is not going to be complete.
Everyone's going to expect it to have a lot of detail.
It's probably not going to have a lot of detail,
but it will exist and everyone on the planet will be able to edit it.
Um,
so if you complain to me in D MS that there's a
spelling mistake on one page at three o'clock in the morning,
expect me to respond with You can fix that yourself
because like I don't need like the time it took you to open up AD M with me on discord.
It would be like you just misspelt The word potato
is like just hit the edit button and fix it.
Uh, we don't need any help while we're here,
so it's boots on the ground like it's literally boots on the ground, right?
You know, like when,
uh, the army needs like, Hey, this soldier, this, you know,
usually a private or whatever.
Make a tent appear here, do it right.
And and they just do cos they've got training and have to, like,
put up a tent and stuff.
That's what we need.
Everyone on the planet
could do what we need
to do for the wiki right now,
but it has to be someone from the team,
Uh,
because it requires a bunch of stuff that I can't
give to anyone else who's not on the team.
Just need to sit down and do it trying to find time to do it.
But
there we go.
Uh, rampa asking about the OO vest. Not working.
Yeah,
the problem with that one is we got lent it
really early on in the development of that vest,
like literally fruits couldn't really even tell
us much details about the vest because,
uh, he was under ND a but he could, you know, add the code and et cetera.
He just couldn't take photos of the vest or anything.
Um so that was a long time ago.
So the integration might have fallen out of favour
because we just haven't kept it up to date.
That's something I wanna like.
Keep in mind is like How we keep those things in date like another example
is I think currently le motions also screwed up because that's out of date.
I would love to sort of figure out a path where we are,
like alerted about those automatically somehow.
So I don't know, like I I'd have to look, it's really it's really,
really annoying. I know, but like, I would have to look,
uh, nie
says, any word on new shades, uh, you'll have to ask at the graphics officer,
let's check our event list.
There's one coming there.
Um,
the biggest plan that I know that we have for
shader currently is first of all to fix up some,
uh, lingering colour management issues which are still problematic.
And secondarily, is the PB, uh, PB R for PBS unification.
And that's where, like we have a bunch of PBS shader,
they all do different
things. We wanna kind of unify them so they'll have the same code base, same options.
And so they're a little bit more reliable.
Um, those are the two big things on shader in that regard.
Uh, anything else you ever
ask keanes about, though,
Uh, Ozzie says, how familiar are you with proto Flux?
Anyways, I'm, like, not that familiar, but I can figure it out. People, um,
often don't realise how much, um,
being able to figure something out makes you look smart,
right? So
I don't remember, like, half the components on resume,
but I know how to figure out how they work.
And so I look smart, and it's like, you know, every component I'm like, Hell, no,
I'm making this up as I go along.
If you get questions, um, about proto
flus, ask them the proto
flux thing. If you don't get a response, that's fine. Ask them here. I don't know.
I know more about, like, proto
flux internals than I do about actually using it sometimes, which is a little weird.
Uh, modern says since steam link is out,
will there be official reports for the face tracking on the Quest Pro?
I think that there is a github issue for that one, so you can track it there.
Um, I would love for that to be a case I tried.
Um, a quest pro over the holiday period looked great. Almost ordered one.
But then I realised I really didn't have a, like need to
like I could totally order one tomorrow,
and I could have face and eye tracking from it,
but,
like, why?
Like, I don't really need those features.
I've already got face tracking on my index, so I would just get,
um I would just get eye tracking, which, of course, would be useful, but, like, why
it's worth it, but not like $1500 worth it.
Although I was about to spend $1500 to go home for Christmas so I could, like,
you know,
I could do, like,
distracted, prime drunk maths and be like,
seeing as I didn't go home for the holidays.
I can spend that money and then, yeah,
but I'm not gonna do that.
Um,
Bly, he asks, Where do I go to check out the database,
you go to the world browser like launch resonate open the World browser.
It shows the number of pages available, and you can count how many are on a page.
Oh, see, I'm just, like,
forever reminded that like you were standing on a rug that
was identical to your sweater at the New Year's party.
And I'm just, like, blown away. I'm just like
you were, like in camouflage for the entire event.
It was
It was, like, bizarre.
You should like if we didn't realise,
I would have asked you to lie down on it like that's how, like close it was
It's a good sweater. It just happened to look like the rug he was standing on,
uh, modern.
Ask
plans to fix, uh, resonate for IMAX headsets.
Uh, mirrors and stuff are broken.
Uh, yeah, there's probably a bit of issue for that one,
and we'll look at it when we can.
I. I like. I understand that like the whole device area is bad.
Like if we were a larger company,
uh, we might hire someone specifically just to be like the device engineer, right?
So
a new headset comes out. It's their job to integrate it.
There's bugs of an existing headset.
It's their job to look at it like it'll be a really, like,
easy role to fill in the future once we have the the funding available to do that.
Um, but until then, dunno. We'll get to them when we can.
If it's not a get up issue, make sure there is a get up issue.
Uh, we will have to end here in eight minutes.
Uh, because dog is making, like, I wanna go out movements.
Sometimes I forget I own a dog. Anyone else have this?
I mean, I've only owned a dog for, like, a couple of months, so it's still, like,
getting used to it.
But like, I turn around and I'm like, What the fuck's that
like?
What the fuck are you
cute? That's what Come here.
You know, I'm just like what
I own this well owns a bad word, right? I don't own this dog. I adopted this dog.
You live with me. Here you go. Hi.
Cos like especially later at night, where I'm like, you know,
typing away at my computer.
And they're behind me, Usually asleep on the couch.
I don't interact with them for, like, 34 hours,
and then suddenly they wake up and they're at my ankles again.
And it's just like, Whoa, I have a dog
who's currently licking my ankles.
Hi, dog.
Yeah, we'll go out soon, I promise. I'll take you for a nice long walk.
Yes, well, not long, cos it's freezing, but
yeah,
You get the idea, dog. I mean, the dog doesn't.
The dog doesn't speak English, but you guys get the idea.
You're licking my ankles again.
Hello, mister. Hello. You're on vacation, ozie.
Make sure to have, like, you know, don't you don't need to.
You don't need to test it right away.
Nobody asked about Linux
drivers. Yeah. Like, uh,
um,
uh,
it's
I don't really know what the problem there like, if I could guess,
it's because no one is paid to make sure that stuff works
on Windows.
People are paid to make sure drivers exist and work cos like it's still like,
get video drivers on on on Linux.
It's just like, you know, just right off the day you'll be you'll be like, however,
like, many times you've done it.
However, like knowledgeable you are with Linux just right off the day.
You'll be like you'll be going all day.
Uh, Rhino, if you're asking for new hardware, you'll have to make a
github
issue asking it for a run on that hardware.
Well, it's not like Rampa says,
that Linux users are treated as third grade citizens.
It's not only that, like software companies treat you as third grade citizens.
It's like Linux community itself treats you as a third grade citizen like you
go to like a random library that you need to use for Linux.
And you're like, How do I install or make this library work?
And there's just no instructions.
What are you eating? Dog? Can I get over there before you swallow it? No.
OK, you swallowed it, OK, Hopefully that won't kill your dog.
Whatever it was that you're eating,
it's something you just kind of have to accept that,
like sometimes your dog's just gonna, like,
eat something on the floor and you have no idea what they're eating.
I was walking them past a grocery store the other day. They
dropped their head into a bush, came up, started eating something, and I'm like, OK,
let's pull this out of your mouth and I'm glad I did
Cos it was a wrapped dark chocolate Reese's peanut butter cup
that would have made them sick cos of the chocolate in it.
But like I just pulled out this, like,
perfectly wrapped peanut butter cup out of their mouth.
But they they'd somehow had it, like in their mouth for quite some time,
but they hadn't squished it at all. Somehow, I have no idea.
Yeah, you can always try Linux.
Um,
there's also the Remember there's the Linux subsystem for Windows.
It's useful if you're doing programming. Um,
like I need Linux subsystem sometimes to do various things,
kind of buggy kind of work.
So
but you could always try it like a be
said. Just just boot into it, try it out for a bit.
I used to dual boot,
but then I realised I'd just like I'm just never using the second boot.
I was never using the Linux boot edition, so I just removed.
It was like, Oh, yeah, I could deal boot, but I never do.
I'm wondering if when Windows 10 goes into end of life, which is 2025 I think it is,
um, is when, um,
people will start like jumping over to Linux because I know people hate Windows 11.
I don't really know why I haven't looked into it,
but I know people don't like it.
We've got two more, uh, minutes for questions. Two more minutes for questions.
Then I'll take the dog out for
a beep. Beep poo
poo.
Oh, lovely question, Rio.
Love it. I've actually got the code base open so I can show you the problem with that.
So the problem that we have is in, um,
somewhere in the stack. Uh, it's using the old ones there.
You'll see they're marked as obsolete,
and you see that they're they're re
alien
back to the ones that are not obsolete.
But like somewhere in the code base, something is,
is is making them use the obsolete ones.
So that's what's going on there. Like it should be
Context.
Plus, some of the issue as well is that we have, like,
database entries in our database where,
uh, friends is stored as a literal string.
Um, I could write like a custom Jason converter for that,
but like it's always confusing to do that.
I basically got, like, review everywhere in the code base that we use that enum. Um,
and make sure it's like
it's migrating the obsolete,
uh, context. Plus is correct. You can see it in the code base there.
Friends of friends is marked as obsolete.
Uh, Alex duly
says to changing an avatar to another one. Using profox
causes it to download before it is changed. Uh, no.
The only way that you can change an avatar, um, in proto
fox right now is to use an avatar that preexists in the world.
And therefore it will already be downloaded and synced
to the entire world before you equip it.
Yeah, I basically just need to go to session access level, right click,
find all references and just read through the entire list.
There's a lot of references. Um,
I don't have the exact number here for you, but
like several scrolls
100 and 13 in fruits, Engine
three in Proto
flux,
17 in sky
frost. So, like, you know, I, I gotta look through.
Ryan says, Have you let the dog out yet?
No, I live in an apartment, so I can't just let the dog out. I don't have a yard.
I have to put a collar and leash on, and we have to go out.
Uh, they have reminded me that we are at half past,
so I'll go ahead of and and end off here.
If you have any additional questions for me,
do feel free to direct message me or ping me.
That is a unique, um, offer. That is for me and me alone.
Most other team members don't like that, but I do.
I would rather help you out than know that you are stuck later.
Uh, Alex, you cannot Currently, I'm just I'll answer that cos it's there.
You
cannot,
uh, change, uh,
your avatar. Why, Via the context menu without causing some problematic case.
In which case,
you'd probably like have the the the Avatar you
wanted to change to would have to be downloaded.
Yes, um, for the moment.
And I understand how this might sound strange.
If you want to change avatars, use the inventory.
There's a change avatar button in the inventory.
Um, in the future,
we may have a way for you to cloud spawn and then equip an avatar from the context menu.
But for now, use the inventory.
It was there for a reason I will speak to you guys later.
I'm gonna take the dog out. Bye bye. I'm gonna go walkies. You do?
