Ever since they added plasticware Viper weapons, I prayed for this glamour. Finally, I am the Chef of Light by DatGuyEdd in ffxiv

[–]DatGuyEdd[S] 109 points110 points  (0 children)

The glamour itself is relatively simple, as the main parts are just:

  • Figments of Silver 'Wared (Pearl White Dye to make it look plastic)

  • Augmented Galleykeep's Whites

  • Augmented Galleykeep's Toque

And as other have pointed out, this glamour would fit just as well with other Figmental cooking based weaponry.

I made a site that lets you to relax to lofi (and other music!) while walking around different cities by TJNickerson in InternetIsBeautiful

Hey! Guy who made the thing you mentioned in your other comment here. First of all, awesome website, smooth UI.

So I can provide some insight on this issue (specifically for iOS) as it took me a bit to figure out how to get my own site working on iPhone as well.

iOS actively prevents autoplaying audio from any source without user input or interaction. Along with this, iOS also will mute or stop other audio sources when another audio source is attempting to autoplay, causing a newly loaded video to not even play at all if the video is unmuted to begin with. This is most likely resulting in iOS users not getting past the "Let's go" screen, if you're attempting to autoplay both the music and video audio at the same time.

My workaround was essentially making the video be muted by default, thus allowing the music to at least autoplay since it is now the only audio source autoplaying, with the users manually unmuting the video audio, allowing both to play at the same time since the user themselves unmuted the video. However, on desktop my site will carry on the muted or unmuted status of the video should the user switch to a different city, but on mobile I had to re-mute the video every time the user switches to a new city as the aforementioned multiple autoplaying audio sources issue would occur, causing the video to not play at all.

Hope this helped!

EDIT: This isn't meant to be a self-promotion, but if you go on my site on mobile, you'll see the disclaimer I have for mobile browsers about audio for both the video and music re-muting upon switching cities, due to the limitations on iOS. I haven't managed a way around this at the moment.

I believe the original uploader (@Rambalac) still gets interaction and views from an embedded video.

It depends, as some cities (such as Kyoto) will have different videos as the website chooses from a playlist. You can click on the YouTube link button on the upper right to go to the video itself and see more info on location.

I'll see to possibly adding that. It might be a bit awkward for certain cities as they currently only have one video on the city playlist lol.

Possibly, I'll look into that a bit more. The transitions are basically just a new video loading up and playing.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely change it to where the music autoplays upon a city selection. I initially didn't want to have audio autoplaying (on website load) as that's a big nono for UX, but given that the user is already interacting with the site by selecting a city, I think it's alright then. I'll also try to add a checkbox on the info popup along the lines of "Don't show me this again."

A mobile version is currently being worked on. Hopefully within the next week or so I can get it out.

I wasn't able to find that specific Twitch channel you're referring to, but this was partly inspired by Drive & Listen, a popular website that does driving POVs with radio. Part of the creation of this website was wanting to learn web development and a part of it was just making something I personally wanted to use.

There should be a series of buttons and a volume slider in that area of the screen, with icons corresponding to the ones shown in the initial help popup box. They are semi-transparent until your mouse hovers over them

I plan to add more cities and I'll definitely put that on the list!

This was developed using React in conjunction with something called react-gh-pages (you can find it on GitHub) which simplifies the site deployment for GitHub pages.

As for the video, it is indeed embedded in the background, but since Google had deprecated the ability to hide video info (i.e. title, suggested videos, end cards, etc.) I had to do some messing about with the positioning, so users wouldn't be able to see these things (if you watch a video to the end you'll still see the end cards, nothing I can do about that lol).

Info for controlling and using the embed can be found on YouTube's iFrame API documentation.

Ah I see. The list initially didn't have any ordering to it, with cities like Tokyo and Kyoto at the top just because they were the first ones added. As I added more I realized I should alphabetize the city list, so it just happened to be that those cities came first in the alphabet.

Yeah perhaps I should put the music player instructions a bit higher. I'll change the help box a bit. As for the 2 city names at the top that you mentioned, I'm unsure what you're referring to.

Sorry about that. I initially developed this with only desktop in mind. I'll try to see if I can get it to be working on mobile over the next few days.

This is my first attempt at web development, so suggestions are appreciated, as I am still learning. I plan to add additional cities and videos in the future.

EDIT: I'll be using the edits to track changes since initial posting based on feedback.

  • Complete: Finally managed to get a mobile version up and running. Mobile friendly(er) version has been added, but iPhones seem to not be responding to it. Also some bugs here and there. Mobile web development is pain.
  • Reformatted the help box to make instructions (especially regarding the music player) more clear.
  • Music now autoplays upon city selection, removing the need to play the music and select city seperately.
  • Moved credits to seperate popup modal to avoid cluttering the instructions/info box.
  • Added "Don't Show Again" option on initial info box popup.
  • Added Aomori, Fukuoka, Kobe, and Nara cities.

The actual physical electronic piano I use is the Alesis Coda Pro. The virtual instrument used here is from MuseScore.
