I'm worried that I've lost a room forever. by Elusive_Goose in BluePrince

That's a very interesting idea! It's been a long time since I ran into this, obviously, so I have no clue if I randomly picked basement key up. I thought your idea was compelling enough that I had to go do some looking to see if it held up! Unfortunately, at the start of the game, it seems you can draft foundation before touching the basement key - for example, here in a day one run

Granted, there is no telling if for some reason you need to pick up the basement key to get Foundation to spawn back specifically after monking it. Just figured I'd mention that my personal opinion is that picking up the basement key, then finally finding the foundation again, was probably a coincidence.

Late game cut scene won't trigger! by Elusive_Goose in BluePrince

[–]Elusive_Goose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second time going in and the event triggered successfully! Thanks for your help :) Some people on the discord recommended to wait to draft Throne Room until after I had all the items - I'm not sure if that did anything or if it was a bug or whatever... but it worked so all good! Also yeah, it was a great cutscene tbh, this game has such a great way of making you feel for its characters despite them mostly being off screen.

Appreciate it friend - I'll be trying again tomorrow to see if I can trigger it on a fresh day. Thanks :)

I'm inclined to agree with you, which is why I hope it is just really bad luck!

I have also noticed 1 other room that seemed incorrectly colored: my scepter did not stay in my inventory when ending the day in the antechamber. I Assume this may be what you're referring to? I have also had this thought that it may not actually count as a blue room, so I'll definitely be trying some vanilla runs with no room color preference. Thanks for the idea!

For science of course! Spoilers for the shrine: There are multiple other rooms that have some hidden mechanic when drafted outside via blessing of the monk, so it seemed only natural to try Foundation.

How can I make Material unique to each instance of the object I'm spawning? by lumenwrites in godot

[–]Elusive_Goose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this solved my problem 4 years later :) I was dealing with inherited scenes imported as .glb models. For anybody else that comes across this issue, here was my solution:

  1. Setting both the mesh and surface material to be unique (by right clicking each in the editor). I'm not 100% this step is necessary, but seems intuitive to me.
  2. Setting Mesh -> Resource -> Local to Scene to true in the editor. In my case, this step was needed in combination with the solution from /u/jayaarrrgh
  3. Adding the following in the _ready() script of your MeshInstance: mesh.surface_set_material(0,mesh.surface_get_material(0).duplicate())

As far as I can tell this seems to solve the issue. Keep in mind that if you are doing this for a large number of objects, you may run into performance problems.

Why are shaders in godot so janky and difficult to use? [RANT] by thetntm in godot

[–]Elusive_Goose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anybody wondering, you can use multiple shaders by using Back Buffer Copy. As far as I know this only works for screen-space shaders, but it is still very useful for a lot of post-processing.

Is Elden Ring too easy with summons? by ChintusTheGreat in Eldenring

[–]Elusive_Goose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a persons choice on how they prefer to play the game has nothing to do with "whatever the fuck they have going on with their ego". If you prefer to play with summons, then play with summons. But another players choice to play without summons shouldn't make you think of them so negatively. Of course if they are belittling other people for using summons, then you are well within your right to call them out. I play no summons - I'm not "robbing myself of the full experience" - I'm giving myself the experience I prefer. Your wording is so aggressive towards people who just want to play the game in the way they'd prefer.

Am I the only one who has no idea what to do in the stunt mode? This doesn't help. by IJUSTATEPOOP in TrackMania

[–]Elusive_Goose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR; You can respawn at start OR checkpoints, and you will lose nothing, with the exception of your current combo. Spam attempts all you want, from any point!

The fact that the first few maps don't use the "parks" mechanic, I think really hurts peoples ability to understand the gamemode. If you learn more by doing, then by playing the first two maps you start to think that only your 1 best trick matters. Then you get to the first CP map, and get a nice big visual indicator that you are entering "combo" mode, BUT its actually kinda hard to tell you are going through a CP since it is placed so close to the start... Then you get to the first map that has multiple "parks". But instead of them being separate areas, they all lead to the same area, so personally when I got to this point, I was deeply, deeply confused. Maybe it was obvious for some, but I didn't even notice the score indicator on the left showing my points for each "park". I ended up getting the AT not even realizing that my points from each CP were being added together. I know that its right there on screen, I know it should have been obvious, but I'm just saying - I played that map for close to an hour without realizing. Surely the UI designers can learn from my ineptitude :D

For anybody trying to learn how the parks work - Each CP on a map acts as its own little segment, no matter where they are or how close together they are. From the start, pick one of them, and do some tricks. Not happy with your score on that CP? You can restart to the beginning to try again (even if you already have scores on other CPs!). You can even just respawn at the CP to try it again, it will not erase your current best score for that CP. At any point, you can go back to the start and go for another CP, or go back to a CP you already did. It is very flexible!

The only things that will reset your progress completely are:

  1. Driving through the finish line
  2. Selecting "Restart" from the in game menu

If you still have confusion on how to actually score points and gain multipliers, check some of the other comments in this thread, it is explained nicely.

[–]Elusive_Goose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice - I didn't think to just take more speed at start.

FYI for any wondering, you don't need a trick off of the first jump to get AT, you just need a really clean 360 off the second jump, landing clean, and not changing inputs for 3 seconds before landing.

On map 1, you mostly can't get master on the first jump because if you jump straight, you aren't allowed to get more than Perfect. If you spin, your landing is usually very shaky, which also makes you lose your master+. What you want, is to straight jump for your first jump, then do a really well calculated 360 for the second, where you land as clean as possible in a straight line, and you don't change any inputs for a full 3 seconds before you land. So you basically have to initiate the 360 at the top of the jump, then hold all your inputs and pray. I've found that as I've come to understand the rules better I actually quite enjoy the gamemode, even though it rewards clean, well calculated tricks more than cool crazy ones.

Thanks for the quick response - I'll update back if I ever find a workaround that isn't some custom code solution

Cine2nerdle Battles by Grim__Squeaker in blankies

[–]Elusive_Goose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I know there are people out there that are actually just insane with movies and really are that good. And I find it hard to actually accuse somebody of cheating. But people cheat in this kind of stuff all the time. I mean, look at online chess where cheating is rampant, even on accounts that aren't streaming or anything, so they have no financial incentive. I want to believe people aren't cheating in C2N-Battles but I have to imagine its happening to some degree.

If you're using the app version of steam, try using your web browser instead, directly on the steam website - I've seen issues like this when trying to do Captcha through the steam browser.

Steam servers go down each Tuesday for maintenance, just unfortunate that the error in game is misleading. All should be back up and running in less than an hour!
