Hi,
welcome to office hours.
We're at the top of the hour,
so we can go ahead and get started.
It is 200808 uh
confusing.
Uh,
Davidend recommends everything.
Yeah,
I do have everything.
The problem with like any search provider,
and,
and this is just like ubiquitous to like any,
any search thing,
is it just doesn't work anymore.
And what I mean by that is,
like,
here's a really good example is like Google Mail or whatever.
Like,
I know,
like,
there's a lot of medical stuff going on right now,
but I know
that if I searched for the exact name of
the doctor I'm corresponding with on Google Mail search,
it wouldn't find.
It wouldn't find the emails from that doctor
because search is just broken,
and like every app right now,
um,
I would have to
search for like,
I don't know.
Something completely different and off the wall just to get it working.
I was messing with Azure,
right,
because we've got some,
some cloud-based work to do.
And
I wanted to create a new Azure resource.
I know exactly the resource I wanted to create.
The resource was an Azure key volt,
which is a secret store,
and I wanted to create one.
And so I go to the Azure like panel and it says add resource and
it pops up this whole like marketplace thing because third party providers can say,
hey,
you can,
you can deploy our product to your Azure infrastructure by just,
you know,
clicking a few buttons so that the search for like what service
you want to add to your Azure account is just a mess.
But
the,
the problem with that is like,
hey,
um.
I know what I want.
I want azure key volt,
right?
So I type in Azure key volt,
and it comes up in the search results,
not once,
but like 3 different times with like
2 different logos and slightly different wording,
and it's just like,
I just want like the Azure one,
not like,
I don't know,
the
magical enchanted like Disney princess one.
I want the Azure one.
Holy shit,
I have like all of my Gary's mod stuff.
So I opened everything.
And
um everything like,
I don't know,
it just,
when you don't have a search term it just lists random files
and it's like,
hey,
I found some advanced duplicator files from Gary's mod.
Like
these are like so
ancient.
I don't even know if they would like load,
but I will keep them
on the,
you know,
the off chance that one day when I have enough time,
I can see if they will load.
I,
I don't think that they will load.
Holy crap.
These were last touched in 2009.
Sorry,
the,
um,
the advanced duplicator file names are like
psychotic.
Well,
I had to censor one,
but uh you couldn't,
you could read the rest of them.
I,
I particularly like Purnis 2.
Purnis 2 is like my fav I don't know what it is.
Advanced duplicator file is not even readable.
Let me take a look.
Um,
OK,
Purus 2,
what are you?
Um,
I don't know what that is either.
Uh,
OK,
Purnis 2 has a seat,
multiple seats,
um,
some vehicle stuff.
It looks like some sort of vehicle then.
OK,
cool.
Let me see what min
killer is.
Oh my God.
Oh,
I know what Melon sorter is.
Um,
I was interested in
um
like parts of Gary's mod that people didn't.
Um,
use
one of the ones that I,
I couldn't find a use for was like the colour detector.
So like it has
um
an equivalent
construct or to arch like colour sensing nodes where
you can sample a colour from an image.
Um,
but I couldn't find a use for it.
I was like,
I don't really know what's going on.
So what happened was I,
I made a machine which would randomly paint a melon,
um,
a random colour,
and then based,
it was just like a primary colour,
and then based on that colour,
I would then read it back out again.
And then I would,
I would sort it into a bin for red,
green,
or blue.
Or at least that's how I learned,
um,
that's how I learned Carrypo anyway.
It was like,
hey,
no one uses this,
how does it work?
Uh,
Minge killer uh
has a lot of wire mod stuff on it.
I see detonate,
I see Velocity.
I'm just gonna like pull something out of my brain here.
This
might
be
the chip that
jumps to your crotch and explodes.
I'm I'm just like,
I think that that's in this folder,
I don't remember what it's called,
I know it's in the folder though,
so that might be it.
Let's see what else we've got here,
sorry,
I don't like,
let me get to act.
I'll give you a couple of questions.
We don't do any,
like,
if we don't have like any additional questions,
I will,
I will go back to my advanced duplicatorhonus too.
I know there's one thing in here,
um,
which takes a certain character from,
from the sort of,
you know,
half-life universe
and,
and turns that character into a gun that shoots babies.
I know that's in there too.
I don't know what that's called.
Uh,
David is able to build unity yet,
no.
Um,
Fruits and I are,
um,
looking into the reflection probe issue.
I,
um,
I'll talk about that for a bit actually.
So,
uh,
Fruits merged the reflection probe issue into,
uh,
into the split in branch,
and that's why it's in the,
the latest,
uh,
release that you guys have.
And then.
People instantly found some problem with it.
And I,
I just like,
I don't know.
I was,
I was so defeated last night cos I was like,
oh my God,
there's another compressor ator issue.
So I had to go like
jump into the compressorator code and go through everything and I'm like,
everything looks fine here,
like I can't,
I can't figure it out,
right?
Nothing,
nothing made sense.
Um,
from what I could tell it was it was something
else and and we weren't sure what was going on.
Um,
so that's what I jumped into today,
so I haven't even had a chance to look at Unity not building.
I also have some paperwork to do this week that I need to get through that isn't,
isn't resonate related.
That might be good actually,
just
take a break from,
from,
if I don't touch programming,
like if I don't open a
a programming like IDE I
I shouldn't,
I shouldn't end up in compressing code.
It's almost to the point where it's like,
oh yeah,
I'll just,
you know,
after this talk,
um,
maybe I'll,
I'll go for a walk with the dog and I half expect to
like go for a walk all the way down to the park.
And at the park there'll just be like,
I don't know,
like a compresssonated convention.
Like wherever I go,
I'm just gonna sort of walk into it.
Oh,
you thought you could enjoy a nice walk in the park?
No,
it's a compressorator convention,
and you know,
they've got like a mascot for like BC 6H and they're just like doing a little dance.
I could probably throw an AI at some like prompts
um to like draw in an AI representation of Mr.
Compressinator.
However,
that's artistic generative AI which is it's not good.
Let's go for uh Kestrels,
um,
question,
which is quite a long one,
but I will read it in its entirety.
So Kestrel asks,
um,
the conversation and discussion made me remember that it's an interest in
creating a resonate related discord since I'm instantly familiar with them,
literally how I learn programming.
Would that be anything you'd be interested in community assistance for?
Make some things easier,
example,
allowing mods to forward scam pings from lurkers into a mod ticket with a button,
uh,
so they just don't get lost.
Uh,
also we'll be able to integrate what Resonate Sessionbot does
and perhaps things like quick winy linking events posting.
Um,
I don't,
I don't think so.
We've got a bunch of tools,
remember that you can't see in our Discord,
um,
so I,
I,
from a moderation point of view,
I,
I don't,
I don't think so.
Um,
things like wiki linking,
events posting and stuff like that,
we do have that.
Ah,
put your teeth back in.
Solutions in mind.
So events posting will,
will be,
um,
see in Devlog quite a while ago.
We're hosting our own instances of um
the community events listing thing in my bobby,
uh.
Like we could,
we could use all of this stuff,
it's just that like for several parts of it,
we've got
um
stuff in the works to sort of like make it either not needed
or or address that problem from like outside the concept of a bot.
Like um
what we wanna do is reimplement on the Discord side of things um like inviting
um so you'll be able to like for example
um.
You'll be able to like click Kestre in Discord
and it will say,
hey,
Kestrel is playing resonant in a public world.
Do you,
do you want to go there?
And it'll like,
there'll be a button and it'll just like work.
Like that's,
it's already like half there.
There's just like another half of the
Discord integration that we didn't finish writing.
Um,
yeah.
So like,
yes,
but probably not in the way that you're thinking,
unfortunately,
if that makes sense.
Uh yeah,
if it's the cube maps being overblown,
particularly if it has any of the art team members in the screenshot,
it's the one that's already been,
um,
it's already been reported.
Um,
I don't want to like jump the gun and,
and,
you know,
steal Fruc's thunder,
um,
but,
but Fruits has found the,
the underlying cause and,
uh,
it'll probably be an update at some point today is that.
Uh,
jumping down to Jay,
Jay says,
how are you doing?
Uh,
I'm,
I'm like,
I'm having a day,
I'm having a,
I'm having a week.
Uh,
I'm,
I will not
be renewing my lease here at this apartment that I'm at,
and so I need to like figure out what I wanna do.
Like option one is I.
Uh,
rent somewhere else in the area.
Um,
option two is I move somewhere else in America and option 3 is I go back to the UK.
The problem is that moving somewhere else in America,
even like the next town over from where I currently live,
is an equivalent like
load of bullshit as moving back to the UK.
Like it would literally have the same effect,
right?
And the reason behind that is
if I move out of like shitty apartment land,
I'm gonna need a car,
which means I'll need to get a US licence and US car insurance.
Can't afford that here,
it'll just be like way too much money.
Um,
and because I'm moving the next town over,
like the,
the,
the
like bullshit I would have to deal with to get that
done is like the equivalent of just moving to the UK,
uh,
cause like all of my shit would have to go in the back of a truck and then it would
have to drive for like however long it takes to
get to the new place and then unload it there.
Like
if I'm moving over like might as well go to the UK.
But then if I go to the UK,
um.
I need to decide where in the UK.
I don't have,
like,
I do have family in the UK,
but like I don't need to be close to them.
um,
you know,
it'd be nice to to to be within travelling distance to them,
but I don't need to be close to them.
So I can basically choose like anywhere in the UK
and so it's just like,
well,
where do I choose in the UK?
And it's like,
well,
strategically I should choose to live and rent
near like a tech hub.
So there are a couple of tech hubs,
London obviously being one,
Manchester and Birmingham area also have quite a lot of tech in them.
Uh,
but I'd have to look up more.
I only know of those three,
London,
Manchester and Birmingham,
uh,
because I need backup plans,
and,
and they like,
if I could say one thing to you it's like always have backup plans,
right?
I am like ecstatic that Ressonant is doing as well as it is doing,
even with all the problems that we continually talk about.
But like I always need a backup plan,
and so like if I move close to a tech hub,
it'll be like,
oh well,
uh,
you know,
Ressonite's exploded,
I can just get like a,
a tech job um
in the nearby area.
Uh,
so I'm,
I'm,
I'm just looking into that.
What I need is like a giant spreadsheet to look at it,
but,
um,
I hope that I've explained
I'm having a week
significantly with that description.
It's like
it's like.
Do you want to do like an international move or get a driving licence?
Uh,
for full context,
um,
if I land in the UK tomorrow,
like let's say I just like book a flight and travel to the airport today,
if I land in the UK tomorrow,
I could drive tomorrow.
Um,
I could get a rental car or anything,
like I've got a UK licence,
I've got a good UK record for for driving as well.
Um,
although I hate that,
right,
cos in the UK I don't know how it works in the US.
But like in the UK you have what's called a no claims bonus,
which is like,
how many years concurrently
have you had insurance
and not made a claim on that insurance.
So basically like how many years have you not had an accident?
It's like a a equivalent way of of phrasing it.
And I had like
8+ years no claims bonus.
In fact,
I have never made an insurance claim on,
on,
on vehicle insurance.
But
because I haven't been in the like the UK for a bit,
most insurance companies will be like,
no,
you haven't been driving.
So we're going to go ahead and write off those eight
years of no claims bonus and you're back down to 0,
and your insurance price is going to be like double what it should be.
So I got that in.
However,
um,
I've,
I've seeked or
I'm seeking solace in
stuff that won't change regardless of my decision,
right?
So the stuff that won't change is,
hey,
I should probably go for.
Uh,
go through my bathroom
and throw out any products I don't use.
That,
like,
that,
that's a good matter that can be done
regardless of if I'm living in the US or the UK
because I don't want to take like products I'm not using
to a new place.
So I'm just doing that everywhere.
I got rid of like two bags of clothes,
I got like a trash bag and a half from,
uh,
bedroom and bathroom combined.
I've gotta do a bunch of stuff.
I also want to downsize my tech,
and let me see if anyone,
I,
I will go back to questions after this,
but let me see if anyone else has this problem.
How many
micro USB cables do you have?
Cause I have hundreds and I don't need any.
Like I need like one or two good ones,
but like most of my stuff is going towards USB-C.
I don't need hundreds of micro USB cables.
So why do I have them?
I might as well just throw them out.
Uh,
so I'm going to go through all my cables,
throw those out.
I found an inflatable mattress which I've used a grand total of,
um,
like
for 2 weeks in my entire 5 years of being here.
I moved to US in 2018,
by the way Jay asked that,
um.
So I found an inflatable queen size mattress which I've
used for a grand total of like 2 weeks.
I used it for a week when I got
here to America because my mattress delivery was delayed,
so I just Amazoned an inflatable mattress and slept on that for a week.
And then I used it,
um,
mini.
Is that the the the triangle one?
Is that the like?
He's like probes Aski out.
I need forward slash and then I need underscore
or I need to do space.
Is that the one that looks like that?
It's like a rum like a trapezoid,
like a rhombus.
Yeah,
that one.
OK,
now,
now take that picture,
turn it upside down and it looks like,
it looks like my Eka a little bit.
Yeah,
I,
I need that as well.
Um,
so I'm doing all of that.
Um,
I know that under my bed is like a reasonably well
quality,
like a,
a good quality,
sorry,
how am I like struggling with my words today?
A really good quality,
uh,
Hoss,
um,
which is,
you know,
joystick and throttle
that I used to play uh
Eli Dangerous for like a month.
So I've gotta get rid of that too,
cause like I mean
maybe I'll play Elite Dangerous again.
But by that point I'll probably want the new Hota because this one's like,
I don't know,
this Hota is from like 2016,
so I can get rid of that.
I think there's like a motorcycle hump under my bed as well,
and I don't really know why,
but,
but there we go.
Let's go back to questions.
Jan is his dog,
but like that's,
that's just a question.
Um,
uh,
Fed's hiding in,
um,
in his crate in the bedroom,
he's kind of pissed off with me cos I didn't
immediately walk him the moment he walks up wakes up.
The moment we wake up,
I'll tell you what he wants.
I wake up,
like,
you know,
like open eyes,
like I'm,
I'm freshly awake.
He wants to,
number one,
find wherever my face is,
um,
in bed
and lick it to say good morning.
And then he waits for me to get out of bed before he gets out of bed.
And uh
then he immediately wants food,
and then he immediately wants a walk.
And these days he immediately wants a walk with his favourite toy.
Like the morning walk must contain his favourite toy.
Other walks throughout the day do not need to contain his favourite toy,
but the morning walk does.
I'm quite happy to oblige that all the things he does are like incredibly cute,
but there are some days where it's like,
could you just like hold your bathroom just a little bit so
I can talk to some people on the internet about compresssonator,
yeah.
Let's uh scroll down to uh a business question now.
Do you have any suggestions on what PC hardware works best for us?
No,
um,
unfortunately I don't.
I'm really bad at hardware and so I wouldn't want to be like misquoted or anything.
My,
um,
my ideal outcome for the whole hardware thing is that we
end up with a wiki page that's got like a,
a full guide.
You know,
it'll say like,
hey,
you want the best possible performance ever?
Max FPS here's what we recommend.
You want to just run Razorite and at a
decent quality?
Here's what you recommend.
You've got like no money and you want budget,
like you can get in,
you can hang out with your friends,
maybe you need to drop the graphic settings or what,
here's what we recommend.
And I want that on the wiki
and I want it to like
be up to date and everything.
Um,
because at that point I can just link you to that page.
As an explanation of how bad I am at hardware,
the computer I'm talking to you on right now is on its way out.
Um,
last week,
Thursday,
if everyone on the team that's in,
in the audience here,
you'll,
you'll know that.
I missed the team meeting
because I opened resinate.
And then
my graphics card crashed and didn't come back.
Like the computer was still on.
I could still hear audio from like the,
the music I had going,
but I couldn't see anything.
Like both screens were black.
And then when I restarted,
it wasn't coming back.
I was really annoyed because I wanted to be at that meeting.
There were a couple of the topics I wanted to listen in on.
So I pulled my computer apart
and I swapped out the
2080 TI that's in there for the spare 208 TI I just happened to have in my closet.
Why do I have a spare 208 TI?
I honestly don't really remember,
but I'm now running on my spare 208 TI.
And that one has the problem,
which if I'm watching a YouTube video and I launch Resinite,
um,
it will crash resonate because the graphics card will crash for like 5 seconds,
but it will recover.
So provided I launch Ressonite,
first closing YouTube,
I can,
I can be on Resonate.
I can reopen YouTube after resino's loaded,
but I have to close YouTube whilst resinite loads,
which is an amazing like productivity um remover.
Mona says primer you have the compressoratory is almost over,
maybe.
Uh,
we think,
we think that the,
the,
the last fix isn't in compressorator land.
It's in,
um,
something to do with the asset variant system.
You'll you'll see,
uh,
stuff.
I didn't ping.
Oh,
OK,
I'll ping now.
We're 20 minutes in,
but I'll ping.
We're
20 minutes in.
I'm sorry,
but
we're live.
Cheese.
Um,
I'm,
I'm terrified of it though,
um,
on,
like,
there are like,
I don't claim to be an expert in any of these things.
I still don't really understand like block compression at all.
But like,
of all the people on the planet,
I am probably now in the room.
Like in a room,
and I don't know what size room,
but just in a room of people who know a lot about compressorator.
I'm probably the person at the back who's like licking the walls and drooling,
but like I'm in the room,
you know,
not many other people are in that room,
that's the sort of the analogy I'm trying to make.
Like,
not many other people in the world know how this thing works.
I think you,
I think you all agree.
I mean,
I'm in the room at least.
Truly got the back.
So,
so we'll see.
I'm still terrified that I've like broken something else,
but,
but there we go.
We'll we'll,
we'll,
we'll see what's going on.
And,
uh,
Johnny talks about replacing it,
yes.
uh,
now that we have like the full like end to end testing on it,
we can now investigate replacing it.
We can evaluate the quality of replacing it,
the time of replacing it,
the threads for replacing it,
like we can actually do that now.
it it says,
oh yeah,
let me just pull out my backup 2080 TI.
I think what happened was the 20,180 I'm currently running on was overheating,
so I bought a new one which had more fans.
I think that was what was going on.
This was back at the time when 2080s were like full price expensive,
like $600 to a grand basically,
and I was working at Microsoft,
so that's why I had the money to do that.
I no longer have the money to do that,
so.
I wouldn't be doing it there,
but
uh I didn't mean to sell it.
Uh,
cos it would have been worth a lot of money,
like the spare one,
cos it still worked.
It was just like you needed to not overheat it or whatever,
but I could never really remember like exactly
what the like scenario of the problem was.
Was it like
that the fans didn't work and that's why I overheated?
Was it that my case design or case layout was insufficient to allow it to cool itself?
Um,
or was it some other thing?
Um,
to add to the,
the,
the malady and the woes,
uh,
I currently can't watch.
unless I use um Chrome.
I don't want to use Chrome these days because of,
you know,
all the other reasons why,
so I'm usually using a Firefox fork called Flop,
but
Firefox Flop
won't work with Netflix for some reason,
so I use Chrome for Netflix.
But if I'm watching a Netflix show,
every single time a new video file loads,
like a new episode loads,
um,
the entire computer
will freak out for like a second or two
and go black screen.
I don't know if there's like,
I don't know,
like a,
like encoding codecy thing that like has to spin
up at the start of each episode or something,
but like it's really weird.
Uh,
Ozy says,
are the compressor exchanges expected to hit
the asset variant servers in the future?
Yes,
immediately.
Um,
I just wanted to double check that everything looked good
from both my perspective and Fruit's perspective on the,
on the reflection probe,
so I'm probably gonna wait for that,
um,
and then I'll,
I'll update the,
the,
um,
asset variant worker.
I also want to pull the asset variant workers' logs
because I've noticed that we've got a bunch of failures
and I want to see what those are and see if there's any new issues I need to open up.
Uh,
Johnny says you hit a point in compression where it changes you and
you can never look at a text or a JPEG the same again.
There's so many parts of the engine that that happens to.
I think I mentioned this one before,
so I'll only do it briefly,
but
when you,
um,
I'm gonna say the word mouse over but like
it's like VR and it's a laser,
you know what I mean,
right?
When you cursor over a button.
Um,
in resignate,
both on pre-release and on main cause these are also on main.
Um,
I wrote changes to that code,
which changes your icon on the end of your laser from the regular one to the click one,
and I know exactly how that works and all the steps that are involved in doing that.
And I just,
I like sometimes I'm just like waving my mouse around in your world.
It's because I'm just sort of like,
um,
Vietnam dogging
the,
the cursor code.
I now have to explain Vietnam dogging,
don't I?
Because that,
that sounds.
That's right.
OK,
here's Vietnam,
dog,
without the Vietnam flashbacks because
A they're flashy and B,
uh,
they're distressing scenes.
Um,
but yeah,
it is.
Alright,
let's take a look.
Uh,
we've got some additional questions here.
Uh,
Floorun says when resinite gets mostly to full splitted,
what performance boost do you think there'll be?
I'm already seeing,
right?
Um,
if you launch them up or you look at any of
the videos in the videos channel with with people driving around multiple
cars in that dunes map,
um,
you'll already be seeing the benefits there.
Like I,
I don't,
again,
I don't really know how to answer that question because I
would try and answer it like objectively rather than subjectively.
Um,
subjectively,
um,
on the business side of things,
this is going to be ridiculous,
but trust me,
I'm,
I'm going somewhere.
Um,
on the business side of things,
if you load
main right now rather than pre-release,
you'll see that the,
um,
the loading bar on the splash screen
freezes at several distinct points for,
uh,
what we call like a frustrating amount of time,
right?
And it just doesn't do anything.
Business clients are frustrated about that because
they don't know how to like help.
They're like,
how can we help you?
Like,
we want to understand why it freezes then,
why it spends like a minute there sometimes,
and how we can help you figure out how to,
how to fix that and and and make that better.
And so their suggestion,
which they're willing to pay for,
they're like,
hey,
could you add text messages below the bar that tell us what's going on
and increase the amount of text messages that are there below the bar,
so.
That
when it does freeze at a certain point,
we can send you an email and say,
hey,
it's freezing,
and the text says cheese,
which is,
it's perfectly reasonable and they're happy to pay for that functionality,
and it makes sense on Main to have that functionality.
But
if you open pre-release,
that bar just goes like,
whoop,
it just finishes instantly.
So,
no,
we don't need any text messages anymore because
like the bar's only on the screen for like
10 seconds,
so it doesn't matter.
Uh,
so that's like the biggest change from,
from the biggest immediate change from my perspective is I'm going to
stop getting emails about can we make the loading bar faster.
It's also like easier to debug stuff.
So this existing,
um,
cube map issue that Fris is looking at,
Fris is using like new debugging methodologies that we could have only done
with the splitning to sort of figure out what was wrong there.
Um,
and it may,
you know,
it might have taken a longer amount of time to do it
previously.
Uh,
Johnny says,
um,
that,
uh,
he has to limit the fan speed of the 1070,
otherwise the bearings die and it rattles the SSD out of the socket.
Well,
the,
the graphics card,
the,
the.
It's hard to like,
OK,
the,
the.
The new one,
which is now the old one because it's out of the computer,
right,
the overheating one,
that one,
it's um
the fan closest to the
um
like interface ports,
the inputs and outputs,
that um
will kill itself repeatedly.
So much so that I've actually got in my cupboard,
um,
2 packs of replacement fans for the GPU.
You might ask why I've got 2 packs of them,
or the reason is because like they have slightly different wiring.
Um,
and you can only order them in a set of 3,
so each time I need the first fan,
the one closest to the input ports,
I have to buy another set of 3.
Which is
stupid.
Uh,
so I think that's uh Floan's question answered onto Osis.
How easy is it moved between Firefox forks going from base to a fork?
Um,
I went from Chrome to Florp
and I had no problems whatsoever.
Um,
the Firefox,
like migrator works on all of those forks and it will try and find.
Uh,
extensions to match.
It didn't find a lot of the extensions that I used to use,
but like I'm just slowly filling them in as I need them.
Um,
my Chrome extensions collection and list is a bit,
bit thick.
It doesn't need to be as thick.
Um,
so I'm installing stuff as I go.
Uh,
it imported all my bookmarks,
so that's,
that's great.
Uh,
of course all my accounts were signed out,
so I had to like log in everything.
That would be the not it if I wanted to do a not it today.
It would be how signing into things is just a nightmare.
Uh,
so yeah,
it's quite easy.
As for why I chose flop.
I was gonna go to Brave,
but then I saw that Brave had some sort
of crypto stuff and that like its supply chain was
um suspect.
Like it was like,
hey,
they could
probably do some stuff here that will probably mean
it will be in in in shittifying itself.
So I didn't want to do Brave.
Then I wanted to do like Firefox,
Firefox,
but there was some.
Um,
some dissent about like baseline Firefox,
I don't remember what it is,
and they're like,
yeah,
if you want to use Firefox you should use a Firefox fork.
Uh,
and then I saw Flor,
I think Cyrus sent it to me.
Um,
as a fork that
CIO had heard that a lot of people use or were happy with,
and then I looked through Thorp's Flor's website and I'm like,
yeah,
that'll do.
Floor is made by a Japanese team as far as I'm aware as well,
which strangely actually gives me more faith in their ability to not shit fight it.
Like I trust them more somehow because they are Japanese.
I haven't actually looked at Flop's website in,
like,
I downloaded Flop,
I don't know,
like months ago.
I haven't looked back at Flop's like
website,
see how they're doing.
It's like a,
like a company
or like or a off,
you know,
flop blog,
or at the bottom of the flop website they link to this site called Ablaze,
Ablaze.1.
I've got no concept about what that is,
so maybe they got bought by Ablaze,
but whatever.
Uh,
J4,
if you're still there,
you might like Flop's website.
I just like loaded into like a picture of a fox.
Alright,
let's scroll down.
Yeah,
I wanted to get out of Chromium browsers,
that's why I went to another reason why I went to Floor.
Uh,
Zinuss has a pretty broad question and says,
uh,
what have the,
uh,
you saw some locale for some universe stuff,
a pretty broad question,
what have universes been used for and they still active as been being used.
You,
you might,
um,
you might,
you might be talking about two different things,
so let's double check.
So,
uh,
item one is universe is the business concept,
and I can talk about that one,
of course.
But I number 2 is universe is in the universe is in the
um
educational experience which was available on NIOS.
We want to take the educational experience that was
available on NIOS and make it available on Resino,
but we need to do a bunch of licencing and copyright stuff to sort of
handle that.
So some of the assets that were involved in
the
universe previously
can't be used,
some can,
um,
and one of the things that could be used in,
in,
in the,
um,
the resonate version are those,
those little cow strings,
that's why they're back in the cow.
So I don't,
I don't,
I don't know which one you're referring to,
so if you can clarify,
it'd be great.
Uh,
yeah,
flop,
um,
uh,
yeah,
flop flop.
Yes,
I have questions.
I'm on the flop docs.
Oh,
flop browser Roadmap.
Oh,
it looks like Ablaze is the,
is the company.
I don't know,
I'm I'm on flops like licence basically.
You will go mad though,
but you,
you will go.
Uh,
Zenus meant the education one,
but I did answer both,
so that's good.
Uh,
just says,
whenever I hear a flop,
I just think of this.
It's like,
yep,
exactly.
That's another reason why I actually chose it because
I wanted to sort of play into that,
um,
for the benefit of recording,
it's the,
the good old meme,
um,
it's like,
is this Tumblr?
I think it's Tumblr.
Have you seen the new show?
It's on Tuu.
It's the show on Heebi.
It's on Pod D with ats.
It's literally on Dippy.
You can probably find it on Weo.
Dude,
it's on Gumpy.
It's a Phobo original.
It's on poop.
You can watch it on poop.
You can go to poop and watch it.
Log on to poop right now.
Go to poop.
Dive into poop.
You can poop it.
It's on poop.
Poop has it for you.
Uh,
Java didn't ask,
is it planned to be able to have custom locale for community items?
Um,
if I recall correctly,
it's,
um,
coupled with internal stuff right now.
Yes,
we want to do that eventually such that community
items can be translated as easily as our items.
One of the largest things stopping that right now is collections,
and that's because we have
the concept of locale arguments.
You'll see those in locale strings,
particularly in the help tab.
There should be a lot of um
like locale string replacement in the help tab stuff.
Um,
if you see.
Um,
curly braces,
it's a,
it's a replacement.
And to define those replacements,
you need a collection because what it is
is it's basically a dictionary and it says like
uh the stuff inside the curly braces in this dictionary maps to this string.
And if you look through the update notes recently,
I added studio name long and studio name Short to those,
um.
Uh,
attributes,
and those are,
uh,
global ones that are available everywhere,
but that is,
uh,
Yellow Dogman Studios and YDMS,
uh,
respectively short and long.
That will also help with,
uh,
businesses,
because when we do a universe for them,
we can then overwrite
YDMS and Yellow Dogman Studios to be.
Kroger of Walmart,
uh.
Flaw
gumby,
ee,
poop,
you know,
we could put like whatever we want there and it would instantly make it look like,
um,
you know,
look more official.
Uh,
I've lost the question thread.
Right,
we are out of questions.
Now I did promise that I would take another look at my,
uh,
advanced duplicator Gary's smart file,
so I'm gonna find the next funny thing and we'll figure out what it is.
OK,
what about
exclamation mark fuck yeah.txt.
I'm gonna have to censor
uh
all of these.
Here,
here we go.
All right,
so we're gonna look at,
we're gonna look at this.
Oh my God,
SpaceBuild,
remember Space Build?
No one ever played Spe correctly.
What is in fuck yeah.txt?
Oh,
this is one of Maso's things.
Maso was like an amazing,
uh,
content creator.
I don't know if they use that name again.
Uh,
this is an expression 2 chip,
which means I can read the expression 2 thing.
Expression 2 is good.
Expression 2 in Gary's mode is actually like a really good analogy for um
for like text-based scripting,
how it will like
approximately work in resin.
Again,
subject to,
to actual implementation,
but like
you
click something inside wire mod and up pops a text editor,
you edit the text,
you close it,
and
you can carry on.
I was an E2 expert.
I'm just scrolling through here and it says like
creepy baby,
fixed.
Creepy baby invisible,
scary baby.
There's lots of babies of her.
Creepy baby fixed is is is very funny,
yeah.
Let's see if there's anything else funny here.
Ah,
are you ready for some law?
Here
are the advanced duplicator files for a balloon shooting mini game.
A
Now I have to find the video,
I don't know if I'm gonna be able to find it,
cos like I said,
search doesn't work these days on like any platform.
Uh,
I can go to
uh.
Yes,
got it.
I'm gonna,
I'm gonna say this once.
mute the video,
it has incredibly loud bass hunter music in it.
Incredibly loud,
it's very,
very loud,
like a serious loud warning,
OK.
Um,
this is a video on YouTube
from,
uh,
16 years ago
that showcases the contents of one of those files.
I don't know if it's balloon shooter final final or final or
or 16 or 7
or 9.
I don't know which one it is,
but
that video shows the contents.
I think it even has the IP address of the Gary's mod server I used to frequent.
So there you go,
that's that law.
So one of those,
one of those text documents
contains the entire setup for that.
I mentioned tours,
can we import wires,
uh,
wire extras to Reso?
Yes.
However,
um,
do you remember that we eventually we want to get circuit simulator back together,
which is like actually uh simulating,
um.
Circuits,
right,
it simulates resistors and stuff like that.
We were trying to do it for like a,
an educational project,
but
we didn't get there.
Right,
I think that will do.
I'm gonna go ahead and leave off here
and take Mr.
Feder out for a walk because he'll eat me unless I do.
We have no,
uh,
unfortunately we've got no like,
uh,
if I say the word impetus,
are you like,
sorry,
sometimes like really complicated words jump into my head,
impetus.
What does that mean?
Yes,
impelling force.
I don't have,
we don't have any
impetus,
uh,
to
continue the circuit simulator work currently,
um,
but it is something that is of like personal
interest always to freaks is like educational projects.
So like
Fruits wants to get the Apollo project,
the universe project,
and,
and maybe even Circuits Simulator working,
and they,
you know,
they,
they would like to do that.
They just can't find time.
But yeah,
I'm gonna take off.
Speak to you soon.
Um,
if you check back in this thread,
you sometimes get photos of Feder on the walk that we have after this.
So
just letting you know,
there might be
feather photos here later.
I will speak to you guys soon.
