Welcome to office hours. It's 4 p.m. We're gonna get it started.
Uh, if you're not sure why you're here,
you're here to ask me questions about Resonate.
Uh, drop your questions in the thread, which I have linked.
I'll go ahead and at tag office hours again
just so that people know that we are starting,
and then we'll get going with the questions that, uh, we already have.
Thank you for asking them and keep them coming. I love questions.
Right?
So taking a look at the questions we have, uh, Lex, who asks, uh,
how does the how does the
Sorry? How does does the stats count? Visible versus visible sessions.
Is it based off registered or unregistered user?
Uh,
like, the stats are kind of confusing. And I'll tell you why the stats are confusing.
Um,
I kind of like if I keep doing this, I need to, like, add video to my recording,
so I'm just not gonna do it right for anyone on the recording.
I'm just staring at the following.
Um,
I'm staring at the following link and talking about it so you can
just open the same link and we can talk about it together.
Uh, so share my screen. All right. She should be able to see, uh, online stats now.
So this is the This is what drives that dashboard.
These are online stats, and these have been
around forever. Um, but they are a little bit confusing.
So the, uh what was the question? What was the question?
Um
how do stats count? Visible versus invisible sessions? Yeah. OK, so,
um, for visible and invisible sessions, we're doing operations based on these, uh,
four, objects here.
So
visible sessions by access level is sessions which are not hidden.
Um,
hidden sessions by access level are sessions which are hidden
and then active.
Visible sessions are the one who sessions
that have people actually doing stuff in them
and active hidden sessions and again,
hidden sessions that have people actively doing stuff in them.
Because there are a lot of sessions we have that just aren't active.
And by that, like, there's no one in them.
Um, you can see that by headless right down here.
We've got 98 headless people running and 100 and 72. Um uh, graphical uses.
So, uh, that's what's driving that dashboard.
Um, it's very difficult to sort of reason about how stats work.
If you're interested,
I'll maybe do a longer form video about how our stats pipeline works.
It is open source, though,
Um, but what we wanna do for our stats pipeline is find parts of this, uh,
Jason document here that add up to the total number of users playing Resonate.
So, for example, here we have registered users 272.
Whilst I was instrumenting this the other day,
I needed to constantly add up various numbers and be like,
Does that equal 100 and 72 like here registered users 272 present users.
100 and 68 away users, 100 and four. Adding up, we get 272.
So I know that these three metrics are valid and all related to each other.
And I actually just do that across the board, right? Like these.
Adding these up should also equal this, but sometimes it doesn't,
and figuring out why that is is just fun.
But
you can take a look or you can just look at the dashboard cos I've already done that
I said,
I don't ask questions linked in that chat.
I know that that like it, it didn't used to exist.
So we ask questions in the thread the chat that
you I posted a question just in just now,
uh is for people to talk about cheese and stuff.
That's why we have the distinction between the two like questions go in one thread.
Uh, stop streaming cos we're done with that. Uh,
next question, um,
Thomas is is is that likely to support open XR, Uh, anytime soon?
Uh,
I'm not aware on our current timeline for that I'll
probably take a look at the gab for that.
Um, the new rendering
ran is not a prerequisite for that. It would, of course, help the rendering engine.
It's basically like
it's almost like an excuse. Really?
Like the reason we're doing it is for a lot of reasons.
But one of the biggest reasons is just to like upgrade.net.
I'm tired of like.net 46446 I can never remember.
It's the 472 or 462 I can never remember, But whatever, like, we would just wanna,
like upgrade a bunch of stuff and rendering.
It is in the way, but it isn't a prerequisite for that. But do check the like,
uh,
asks, uh, do you find it odd that the EU bridge seems to be consistently above a users?
I do. Uh I'm gonna look into how the bridge works.
Uh, document that on the wiki, of course.
And make sure I understand why that number's there.
Um,
there is the possibility that some of these counters are are wrong or inaccurate.
And that's another, like, benefit of of showing this data, Uh,
in a in a public way is like,
um
you know it. It identifies problems.
Uh, which also reminds me, if you'd like to, uh, you know,
request additional statistics on the grafana dashboard.
Uh, that we have going, let us know
I'm working on additional metrics that weren't already public,
but I need to always check with the team if they're happy.
Um, making those public there are some that, like, I don't know their opinion,
like, uh, you know, their opinion Either way is totally fine,
but I don't know their opinion
on on various other stats that I can I can surface.
Um So there's a couple of private stats that aren't being surfaced right now.
Yeah,
I figured that I could do email reliability cos I
know like we get a lot of people saying like,
I put in a ticket, but I never get an email and it's like, OK,
let's let's get to the bottom of this Right?
Uh, and so I I looked into it. You can see there's an email delivery issue. Um,
uh, email delivery issue issue.
Um,
And looking into that may means I could technically give
everyone a gravida dashboard of of our email deliverability reliability.
But I don't know if I should,
uh I can also get, uh, ticket counts on our moderation and support side of things,
but I have to double check with moderation and support about that.
I think the number of tickets is kind of cool, But like, of course, no details ever.
No details ever. Even with support tickets, we can't show details publicly,
um, privacy and stuff like that.
But the number might be, uh, and a bunch of other things.
I've just, like, figured out how to how to metricize,
uh, that's that question, but yes, I do I do? Find it odd, I. I do want to look into it.
I just like I've got so much going on.
That is a good thing to say. I've I've been speaking to freaks about this.
We need to, like, be more communicative about how busy we are.
Like, we are very busy right now,
like we understand that there's a lot that people are waiting for.
And I understand that, you know, that might lead to sign in patients.
But, like, just try,
try to bear in mind that like we work almost 24 7 right now, Um,
I do periodically take breaks and sleep and eat
and walk dogs and and and play video games.
But like, if I'm not doing that, I'm I'm working like there.
There's, like, five or six things on my personal to do list things like taxes,
et cetera
that I need to do. And I I don't even look at that list.
I just wake up and look at the the resume
list. Do keep that in mind.
Uh, let's take a look. Uh,
Niki says, is there a way to stream these, uh, Q and a sessions into resonate. Yeah.
You can use the, um, session the the audio streaming
doly
do
and stream in the audio device that these are coming out of your ears.
And someone did that previously, and they hooked it up to a like a cat or something.
It was funny.
Um,
answer that question. Next is lamb with the NEW.NET.
Will there be a faster way to handle Jason or ring game Browse?
Uh, none of those require
new.net. Um the new.net is just, uh it makes things easier for us.
And more performant, of course, which is, you know, downward effect for you guys.
But
it does. It's not like a prerequisite for that.
Uh, we could technically do most features without the the rendering thing.
It would just be harder, more difficult or un
ideal.
Um, but yeah, handling Jason, um, is, uh, requires a collections and array system,
which alpha just asked about,
Um, when any. By the way, II. I hate to, like, rat on this a lot, but when anyone asks,
um, for
the status or when or or the likelihood of it happening,
my answer is gonna be Go to the get up right.
III I when questions are so difficult.
Um,
remember that, like we are a team and we are working on stuff,
and that means we sometimes don't.
You know, we have knowledge that you guys might not have, but
we don't have a list in our head of,
like calendar dates and then releases of features that that that doesn't occur.
Um, you can still ask the questions. It's fine.
I'm just like, you know,
bear in mind that you're not gonna get the answer that you want.
Um, in the event that we are able to streamline, synchronise and line up a, um,
like a release schedule, we will, But it's it's very unlikely right now.
We are just so busy.
There's so much going on,
and to some extent we're still recovering from launch.
All of the statistic stuff and the email stuff I've
been doing is basically just like battening down the hatches.
If that's a phrase you guys know it's quite an old phrase these days for
making sure we're a liable company.
You know, there's lots of stuff we have to do now, um,
to make sure we're still the company.
And one of those is most certainly making sure emails are going out correctly.
Um, so I've had a couple of people be like,
Why don't you work on Resonate instead of emails?
And I'm like, Well, it seems to be that, like, you know,
our support on moderation system being 100% tickety boo is
more important than any of the get up issues.
And if you disagree with that,
that's fine.
But moderation is people that need to be helped,
and, uh, make sure that they're safe.
And support are people that are usually paying money to us to get stuff.
And if they're not getting to stuff, I might to make sure that they are
moving forwards to Accenture.
Who says, uh,
there have been successful uses of vision pro with steam VR
Are there any plans for Resonate to support the vision Pro?
As of all headsets, make a get up issue.
If there isn't one already and talk about it continually there and there. Only
the reason why that occurs is because, um,
I get questions like this every day. Like I.
I was talking to this yesterday to someone, um as well.
I was like, I'm tired of going into sessions where we just talk about how sets
like I go into a session to socialise with people. We just talk about headsets.
It's It's like
I. I love it because we're all ner and out, you know, like we're nerds.
We like talking about headsets, But, like, I, I just wanna like,
can we talk about cheese or or like, the weather?
Your favourite TV show?
Can we stop comparing it and crossing headsets?
That's why I don't get that to get up again. Um,
there is no date in mind. We do have a couple of team members that now have vision.
Um, pros, Uh, we do have the the awkwardness that, you know,
Apple will probably have its grubby fingers over something.
Uh, Alexis Sirens. Yeah. I. I moved This was ages ago, but I moved in July. And, um
uh, I'm closer to a road now. Um, it was cheap. Much much, much cheaper.
Uh, but we're closer to a road,
and I'm still training my dog,
which means I have the curtains closed during
the day because otherwise he just like,
stands by the window sill and barks at cars all day.
Um, and
I get annoyed by that,
and he gets annoyed by that cos he gets worked
up about the car so the curtains are just closed.
But, yeah, there's a fire station just up the road.
The first few months of living in this area cos I
haven't really moved that far out whenever the sirens occurred.
Uh, cos I just moved. Remember?
When you move, you know, you're a bit jumpy, cos you're like strange place,
strange bed.
Haven't got used to You know, where you do your business yet?
So, uh, it's all feels sort of uneasy.
Every time the sirens went off, it's like, Are they arresting me?
Did I do something wrong? Are they gonna deport me?
I have the anti deportation, uh, card. Now, I got a green card, so I'm good.
Um,
let's move forward. J
cheese. I thought you don't answer cheese questions.
I don't answer cheese questions at office hours.
Uh,
Accenture says where is the best place in resonate to go for this discussion?
Um, in resonate for discussions about headsets. Probably any session.
If you go just into any session and be like, Hey,
can we spend the next three hours comparing contrasting headsets.
Anyone will be up for that. I'm not. And that's the the distinction.
That's the distinction, right? I wanna go like I. I was talking again.
I was talking to the same person last night and I was saying like, Hey,
like I remember when I used to be in VR chat
and, you know, everyone had that, like, first group of friends they met in VR chat.
We hardly ever spoke about technical things.
Hardly ever spoke about technical things. It was like, You know, life sucks.
Work sucks.
We had a couple of people who were in the military and and and struggling,
and it was like, Let's support them.
None of it was Oh, yes, but the U blah, blah, blah, blah.
Version two has a higher frame rate per eye,
and we like to talk about this for three hours.
It's just like I. I don't wanna do it.
The same thing is when you go into a session and people are like,
Oh, yes, this note is less perform than this note.
It's like, Oh, just just build guys like if it's unperformed,
I'll tell you about it in a YouTube video
um
L says, What's the favourite community?
Why would you like to visit when you want to decompress? Uh, I don't like I.
I understand what the phrase decompress means, um, in, like,
popular literature or in media, et cetera.
But I don't understand what that means.
Like if I want to decompress, I don't want to be on my computer.
Uh, usually I sleep usually I sleep. Uh, I've just bought a TV.
I haven't had a TV for years, but I just bought a TV because like, I
kind of wanted one and that the single reason I wanted one is so
that I could fall asleep on the couch with a dog watching TV,
um, we actually fell asleep for the entirety of the night.
Like I was, uh, watching some random YouTube video on the TV.
And then I woke up, like, eight hours later, still on my couch.
I am very sore cos sleeping on a couch isn't that ideal.
Um, but it was very peaceful.
Uh, but there isn't a particular favourite world of mine to to do that on
everyone who's saying that they feel caught out.
It's It's not me saying like you're bad for doing it.
I'll happily have the nerd conversation for you.
But I just want you to think about the landscape of things that we could talk about and
the things that we do talk about and and just kind of vary those up a little bit.
Um, for an added example of of conversations that, like, I guess I prefer
we spent in a session the other week, I don't know about 20 to 30 minutes.
Talking about can openers
and comparing contrasting can openers
much prefer that to headsets. If you're looking for an updated um,
graph on can openers, there is a graph of can openers available in my memes folder.
Um, it has two axis.
It has the likelihood of me dying, um, on the bottom axis, uh, the X axis
and the ability to get the contents out of the
can and into a cooking pot on the other axis,
also known as Blech
Cos I was explaining it. It's like when you open a can
you wanna like. Hold it over your cooking pot and then just go like blah
and you want the whole contents to go into the cooking pot. So we have B
blah ability. Um, on that graph as well.
And we've got all the can openers we could find,
uh, in the bottom right hand corner of that graph. We've got the zone of what the fuck?
Which is? Basically, just can openers that look like lethal weapons?
Uh, moving forwards. Eastern jump scare that. That was funny.
I'll, I'll find out where that is. It's probably in videos.
Uh, Eastern is a national treasure.
Protect him with all your, um, we should like we should. Susan.
Significant military budget to protect eastern,
but also to contain eastern
protect and contain
protected. Contain the Easter.
Uh, let's take a look. Uh, what have we got?
Uh, Jason, how's the addition to graphs coming along? It's going great.
Um, I do technically have a qualification in statistics, but I'm really bad at it.
Um, one of the problems I have with like, maths is people use, like,
really complicated language for like, it's a graph that goes up like, for example,
exponential.
It just means
graph goes up fast. Linear means graph goes up regularly.
It's just like, you know, it's difficult,
uh, to reason about so
one of the examples I'm looking at is, um, through the stack that we're using,
we can get what are called rate queries RATE,
which describes the rate of increase in
something but like that doesn't seem useful.
But I did the rate of increase in asset vary
jobs. And it was like, Here's a wavy graph.
I'm like, I don't know what this is showing me.
Um, you'll notice with all the graphs that I've put on that stats page,
they all have a description.
A wiki link. They all have legends, access labels, units
just like don't make bad graphs. People don't make bad graphs.
If chrome's listening, don't make bad graphs. Chroma.
If crow is not listening, uh,
that'll be a funny reference if someone asks them about bad graphs.
Uh, graphs questions done, Shorty says,
Do you know if anyone's tested out the ultimate trackers in Resonate yet?
Uh, speak to, uh, ku,
I think.
Yeah. Speak to
KU. I think. I think they they they're running. Uh,
Madam Blue says Easter is an SEP. Confirmed. Easton is an SEP.
Um, one of the things about the wiki that I wanna see is like, more sort of like, uh,
popular culture stuff on the wiki like the wiki is technical, Sure,
but you can all have a user page on the Wiki.
And so Easton's user page could be fantastic, right?
Could be absolutely fantastic.
Um,
so you know, we you you keep keep that in mind If you look at Wiki's for like, there's,
like, a VR chat.
We it hasn't been up
in forever, but it's like from, like the early days of VR chat, and it talks about,
like the,
um, the police Department roleplay group. Uh, you know, various other groups.
And like all the stuff and like law and events and all sorts of things like that,
feel free to shove that on the Wiki.
Like if it's
not technical documentation like, you know, make sure it's clear that it's not.
But like
you get on us the pages and stuff like that,
I've noticed a couple of people make groups pages.
Love that. I love that there's a like group page for Creator Jam.
Uh, christen and shard, et cetera. Beautiful.
Uh, if you want help making wiki content,
go ahead and speak in the Wiki Channel and ask it.
But Essentially, here's how you make wiki content.
Make a wiki account, hit the Big Blue Edit source button and then start typing.
If you type absolutely incorrect drivel, I'll just correct it for you.
And there's no hard feelings either. Like you did your best.
You put information out there. We made the information better, Collins says.
What is the cheese engine? Roughly, Whereas it appears to be an AL
nation of engines, there is no cheese engine. It's just like a joke, like there.
Where's my cheese engine?
Which is like, I need to be consumed cheese to to live, also known as food.
Um, but
there's no such thing. Uh, Dark Widow says.
Are the plans to make an avatar import a little easier,
being able to import an avatar of all the bones and numbers and bones, et cetera.
II, I
The first half of your question.
Yes, we wanna make everything easier like literally everything.
Like everything is not finished. Even the areas that are finished aren't finished.
For example, we redid the world browser,
but we've still got a bunch of work to do in the world browser.
Uh, you know, we redid the Inspector
uh, UI a little bit for Resonate launch. We still got a lot to do. Uh, we did proto
flux, but we still haven't finished proto
flux. We've got to, like, make the U I better and all the nodes clearer, et cetera.
So everything needs to be made improvement The second part of your question,
I don't know what you mean.
I can guess, but you can just update your question.
Uh, Thomas says,
will there ever be more connection between resonant accounts and wiki accounts?
Yes, I would like for, um
us to, like centralise on using the resonate
account and have a sort of, like, single account,
which is your resonant account that you log in to anything that isn't,
uh, actually resonate.
So, for example,
the ticket desk I would love if the ticket desk
allowed you to log in with your resonate account.
It would make things so much,
so much easier.
Um, I would love it if the wiki did that. I would love it if the Stats website did.
It's not enabled right now, for example,
but the stats website does have user accounts.
And if we get a statistician,
they'll need a user account to actually do the queries. I don't know how to do
cos I have no idea what I'm doing.
Basically,
Dark Widow is like being able to just import a fully done avatar like one from VRC.
I bought off Boof
and Gum Road. Um, I wear avatars that I bought off Boof and Gum Road and
they're fully done and they work correctly.
I know what you mean, though, so I'll I'll stop being snarky and say,
um,
there's probably never going to be the approach where
you can import a unity avatar that you made
for VR chat and it 100% everything that you had set up for VR chat work inside resume.
We might get close, and advancements might get you closer.
But there's never going to be one that does you 100% there.
So because there's stuff that isn't compatible, for example, um
uh, VR chat now uses physics bones. Those aren't compatible with us.
Um, VR chat has the like, gesture. Radio menu thing. Really complicated.
Doesn't, um, doesn't work with us. Uh, you can
import the FBX file from inside unity straight in, and it will work in most cases. OK,
Sniper says, do we not have an active directory for the resident accounts already?
Uh, no. The system that we'd probably use for that is OO.
We also do support Sam
O. Now, um, I didn't really have a chance to figure out why Sam ML was different from
wa
or open ID, but we just needed Sam MO for some business cases. So we did that.
Um,
but no, we wouldn't be using activator.
We would
use
off. Um, so the wiki supports O
off the, uh, ticket desk would support O
off. Uh, I'm even looking into some some translation tooling.
Um, I don't know if I'm gonna do this yet, because it would be a lot to set it up.
And I, I don't wanna like
around the web server too much full of this.
Uh, but this tool here is is it's possible to run a self hosted instance.
And it means that we'll be able to do,
um, resonate localization entirely in your browser,
uh, for the entirety of Resonate.
Uh, and I think it would allow a lot more people to translate.
Um, but
I'd have to look into setting them up,
uh, Web, like has fantastic documentation, though, like I went to, like,
for for context.
Like, I'm we're running our own email stack.
And I couldn't on the email stacks website, there wasn't a guide which says, Like,
how to diagnose emails not being sent, which is my like,
all I wanted to know was how to diagnose emails not being sent.
Um, but
that wasn't on their docs. I'm gonna PR their docs.
So there's a guide on that for them because it stressed me out for a bit. But,
um, this site,
this software has got so many documentation I'm like, Does it run on Docker?
So I searched for Docker
and
there's like, a full guide and it's like,
Docker, you search and it's like, Here's how to check the law.
Here's how to upgrade it. Here's how to restart it. Here's how to do that.
And lots of these are just like Docker compose Restart.
You all know the commands, but like
it lists them and it's like here's what they do.
Here's what to do If they don't work,
it's just very good documentation moving forward to questions.
Uh, now weer
says being able to export resident avatar would did wonders.
I know a couple of creators who prob jump to joy if there's option like that.
Uh, exporting is a little bit more difficult. Uh, don't use seven said bison files.
Uh, it
it will randomly stop working.
I promise you it will randomly stop working.
Um,
would probably end up with a sort of approach where,
like if a creator wants to to do that, we'd took it into our marketplace, et cetera.
Once we have it,
uh, Adam Blue says,
Do you have any ideas or opinions about how to optimise the cloud home?
As there's a lot going on that could potentially overpower some new PC?
SI can run a good amount of words a playable FP SS,
but the cloud home defaults to 8 to 14 FPs.
There's a thread in the discord about that where there's a bunch of ideas. I think
I don't, um
and it isn't because, like, I don't
care, it's because I just I haven't had a chance to like the Cloud Home's beautiful.
I have noticed slight performance issues.
Um, but, uh, I
haven't had time to be like, here's why or or What's going on?
Um, there are aspects of, like,
the platform that I I really do enjoy just leaving
to other members of the team because I trust them,
and they can do it 100%.
I trust everyone to be clear, but, like, you know, I can help out wherever it is.
But there's some aspects where I'm just like holistically.
It would be better if I just holistically trusted them to handle it.
And one of those is the is the cloud home
like I I helped out in the cloud home when the teleporter wasn't working.
But II, I have I have no need or want to, like,
go around inspecting colliders or meshes et cetera.
Like I trust the content team holistically to do that.
Um,
where
it is, this actually makes you curious. Why would the seven Z Bain bison files?
Uh uh, break? Let me open up my share screen again.
These aren't gonna turn into, like, a stream, cos if they do that, it will be video.
It will, like, you know, quadruple or quid to all the data I need to like do.
Uh, no, I don't wanna share the game.
I'm apparently playing, but I don't remember playing.
Uh, I wanna share paint paint. Here we go. Paint. Alright. So,
uh, I've got a brush here. Yes, I do. OK, so,
uh, a seven Z basin file is, uh
it's essentially like, uh, a hierarchical list of all the slots in an object. Right?
So it's like, Hey, there's the head slot
I can't draw, but, you know, head whatever head body, et cetera.
And it's just it's just a hierarchical Jason file that's encoded as as seven Z,
uh, binary notation.
But
what it has in here is it has a link to an asset.
And the asset is like your actual mesh or
your texture or sound effect or just everything,
right?
Another tool, another object, et cetera.
And so when you download this,
you aren't downloading this, So this is missed.
And so when you share this, you're sharing a point in time reference
to this asset, right? But this asset might be updated by you.
You might, uh, change it.
You might colour your hair differently or whatever,
so that asset might delete itself or or just vanish or be updated
in the cases of leaving it in our infrastructure in our environment,
the seven Z bison file will update right.
We'll make sure that it has referential integrity if you know that term.
But if it's on your desktop, we can't do that.
So if this asset ever gets changed, deleted or updated,
the seven Z bison file that's on your desktop won't get that new asset.
And then randomly and I literally can't tell you when you'll open up
this file in Resonate and it will just be like a blank box.
There'll be nothing
because it won't be able to find all the measures again.
Ah, that's that question. Uh, weer
says, uh, actually, here's No, no, wait, wait a minute After dawn,
can you give a general overview of
how the workshop storefront would work? So I don't want you to,
um, take everything that you see in this example. I'm about to give literally.
I want you to take it with a grain of salt that we are reson.
We are not evil, uh, steam workshop or the roblox marketplace.
Just look at those but then think, but not evil.
So, um, a good example might be you go to the the Reson workshop and you search for hat.
And
like all of the hats that people have put on the marketplace up here
and some of them
might cost something, sure,
but a lot of them are gonna be free for anyone that's worried about, like,
free versus paid.
It won't be a problem because it isn't a problem. Um, I mean, it is a problem, right?
There still needs to be moderation, et cetera,
But go take a look at things like the Unity Asset Store or the Unreal Asset Store,
et cetera.
You'll see paid and free products for basically everything.
Um, the paid products are usually differentiated by being exquisite, right?
It's like
the free products are like a good bottle of wine.
You drink it by yourself,
but the paid products are like the most expensive bottle of wine ever,
and they'll do everything for you and hand it for you
to give a an actual example. Um,
a HD door pack
with, you know, textures, materials, normals, metallics, height, maps,
et cetera And, like, you know, 10 or so doors that you can put into your world.
That might be a couple of dollars,
but like basic door that opens. That'll be free. Uh, Rusia
says, has anyone reported a cloud delay when cresting the avatar access key?
Uh,
no, that's not reported. That sounds interesting. Please report it.
Um
uh,
Eason says prime if a file does not contain any assets
and objects and it's only built up components like procedural measures.
Uh, would it be fine to use a seven Z bison? I don't know.
You'd have to manually read the seven Z bison and look for any external links in it.
Um, and still, then I wouldn't recommend it, because when we host it,
we're able to ensure referential integrity with other
aspects of our infrastructure and our environment.
When you store it when not and so randomly, it might break
shun here, he says,
How do I extract an audio equip to my desktop for external editing?
Uh, hold it.
Go to the file browser, and then click the plus that allow you to export it.
Man and blue says, like an inbuilt version of red X. Yeah, and strange cases.
Red X actually uses some parts of the marketplace that already
exist in our network that you can see and look at,
um, but we're not using them yet.
A lot of that is because we use, like, an object relational mapper for our entities.
And so some of our entities already
have marketplace and workshop stuff just because
they're there, right?
It's things like tags and description and rating, I think, is there.
We don't use that one.
There's a lot of stuff left over from when we first made the model,
and it's difficult to, like delete properties from a model without,
You know, if you want to, you can do it. But if you don't want to, just leave them there.
Um,
SS
Alpha says, As long as the marketplace doesn't use VR credits or whatever,
I'm chilled direct payment only it may use a secondary currency.
We don't know. Um, like we're still looking into the details there.
Um,
one of the things that takes longer to think
about the marketplace is we don't like I said,
we don't wanna be evil, and we don't wanna be stupid about it,
and that's why it's taking longer.
We're just we're trying to just figure it out. It won't be stupid, though.
Like things like Rev. Share et cetera.
We're nowhere near even beginning to like,
look at them or discuss them or think about them.
Basically, we're just like
we want a search bar where where you enter
hat, you get hats and we'll figure out the rest when we get towards that,
says, is there a way in game to turn a UL into an embedded asset?
No, there's not a way, Eason says.
I'm afraid the marketplace will make worlds much more lockdown than they are now.
I disagree. Um, so
all of the pub, like no one, plays Resonate published worlds.
There are exceptions, of course, but the vast majority of
published, resonant worlds just aren't looked at, for example,
like there's about five or six among us games that no one plays.
So like great I.
I love that they were made.
I actually helped out with one of them, and they're great, but like
no one plays them.
So I I don't like currently with the current climate the community is in.
I don't see uh, paid worlds being a problem.
But again, when it comes to the marketplace and pay as it starts becoming a thing, um,
if people do stupid stuff.
Other people will do good stuff around it.
So, for example, if someone says like gun and it costs like 30 bucks,
I'll just go ahead and make a gun and make it free for you or someone else will.
You know, it's like gun 30 bucks gun by prime free and more efficient,
free, more efficient and made by a T.
I have removed your ability to to use that for the market.
However, if someone took my basic gun
and then they added really cool textures really good hard surface modelling,
and they were like, Hey, this will be two bucks.
You should absolutely pay two bucks for that.
Um, I'm Erin Harris and Chat. They paid $8. They didn't pay $8.
Someone else paid $8 for a HD chicken nugget. Um, and it was absolutely worth $8.
It was more complicated than someone just making like
a chicken nugget shape in in in England.
Uh, Thomas says,
How would licencing of paid resources be enforced with the licencing system,
which we have no information on, either?
Uh, like basically like we're thinking about it.
Uh, the flop says.
Are there plans for developing plugins for blender,
where someone could be modelling something,
and someone on VR could be looking at it live giving feedback.
Uh, that might be screen sharing, which we do plan to do at some point.
Um, but it could also be like in in resonate modelling,
which we also plan to do at some point.
So,
yes, there are plans, but the plans are
some type.
Some type
shrugs
at some point.
Uh, for those who are, like, you know, curious on what's going on.
I don't really talk about it publicly that much because, like,
it's meant to be a tool for me more than a tool for you guys to obsess over.
But you can go obsess over it. If you would like to,
uh, I have a public github
like trello style board on everything that I'm doing
and you can go. You can go look at that.
The reason why I don't make much noise about it is cos it's only me,
and I do it because I find myself more productive when people can
follow what I'm doing and stuff and and provide help.
For example, I'm like, I don't know how this works, and then Jay is like,
Here's how this works.
I'm like, Great. Thanks with that. I don't see any additional questions.
Let me just make sure I haven't missed any.
Yeah, there's no question. I just ran out of things to talk about
Thomas and the flop. If you've got questions, ask them.
Otherwise we'll be ending off. Here we are at time.
Yeah. I won't comment on your video and I'll take a look at it afterwards. Uh,
actually, I do want to make a comment cos someone mentioned the her
Stop calling the hermit
if you want people to Not if you want the hermo Metre to go down. Stop using it.
Simple. If you want the hermit
Metre level to go down, stop using it. Stop teasing people about it.
Stop making them feel bad for being themselves.
I wanna do a video on it, but like I haven't had much time. But like basically
you are part of the problem.
If you are mocking people in any way for being in private sessions,
give them a reason to be outside of private sessions.
And when they come out of private sessions,
try not to say the quote. We just had put in a chat there.
Oh, look who came out from the private sessions. Try. It's so great to see you.
Let's do something fun. Obviously not that cheesy, but you know what I mean.
It's like make their, um, playing of Resonate more fun
in a public session and there will be more public sessions
with that. I'm gonna go ahead and leave off and speak to you again soon.
I will speak to you later.
