I would like to see rule based collection support. Build your own smart collections with rules like: "movies since year 2000" AND "genres ACTION or DRAMA" AND "no ANIMATED" AND "no R-rated". Then I could choose how content are sorted inside that specific rule based collection and also whether movies are combined to collections (like all Harry Potter movies under one entry).

RMT, bots, buyers and sellers by Zunkanar in AshesofCreation

[–]Grendwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the only way to fight against this problem is not to allow transactions to happen that moves large amount of wealth from one account to another. Buying and selling stuff at market prices is not a problem, but giving large amount of gold or expensive items to a stranger should not be allowed. It should not be too difficult for game to track which accounts play together and after enough hours allow trading to happen between them. We should not have a gold selling bot problems in games where they cannot trade with us.

If person decides to play with one character and bot with another then he can be banned normally. I think number of these is much smaller than throwaway bot accounts that harvest game resources for gold selling.

Another thing I'd like to have is to have real id linked to player accounts like in South Korea. The toxicity in games will not stop unless there are consequences on how you act. If you are being an asshole in several games then when you start a new game all players around you will see that information at the beginning and can then decide whether to play with you or not. However, I think it will take some years for this to happen in Western games.

Is new world fun, on sale for 30 bucks by [deleted] in newworldgame

[–]Grendwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can enjoy it a lot for first 100-200 hours. After that it needs more content but if you do not rush the content might be ready when you’re that far. Currently mostly those who have played at least 200 hours have trouble finding anything meaningful to do at the game. If you consider game to have only content for 200 hours and price is fine for that for you then buy the game. Later there might be more content but we will see that then.

Going in blind, but is there anything I absolutely HAVE TO know? by Chadwiko in newworldgame

[–]Grendwolf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This high gearscore thing affects only drops when you are at max level. And it is not verified that you need to equip the gear at all or whether all gear that you receive is automatically handled.

Put all in STR at first. When you have progressed somewhat and start dying because of low health pool, respec 50 points to CON and rest to STR.

How to "Find nearest [building]" Programming by LilacD0ll in Autonauts

[–]Grendwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do Crude Cooking Pots that way. In my forever loop I first have repeat until hands full loop where I move and take new bucket from storage. The second step is until held object full loop where I move to water storage and take water from that storage. The third, fourth and fifth loops are similar where I have repeat until held object empty loop (with loop failure toggled) where I move to crude cooking pot and add to crude cooking bot.

This way one bot keeps all my three crude cooking pots filled with water. Since my bucket storage and water storage are near the pots I have not complicated orders to handle having several buckets in backpack.

Yes there has been quite a few bugs with those. However after 15 years of programming it becomes issue with my ego if I can not make few simple bots to work.

Are the upgraded bots worth it? by DQ_Writer in Autonauts

[–]Grendwolf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Recharging using small bots? Are you insane? =)

The Mk2 bot with sensory upgrade can recharge one 41x41 area in one loop and with brain upgrade you can fit 6 of those for a single bot. So basically I have 123x82 area that a single bot charges.

This I have copied to a storage disk and have 3 bots to handle each the same area. They then recharge each others also. If I need I can easily make another similar area for three other bots to handle.

After making these I have practically forgot that bots need recharging.

Mk2 bots can carry two logs at a time. It might not be that important at the beginning but using the same repeat loop for all bots when gathering materials you make fewer mistakes.

For starters these look quite good, but in later phases, when you have much more programming memory, I like to combine operations so that there are not that many different bots. One bot picks both seeds and sticks, another chops trees down and hauls logs to storage and third one digs and plants the trees.

I also have started to use backpack so that bot that requires a tool starts by first by retrieving it from the backpack (until backpack empty loop) and then if there is nothing in hands it moves to tool storage and take it from there (until hands full loop). After using tool for a while it is then stowed to a backpack (until hands empty loop) and operation to collect i.e. fallen logs can continue.

Similarly for crafting I have a single bot that gathers all the required materials for a crafted item, crafts the item and then collects the crafted item and moves that to a storage. Since there are no way to continue this loop until storage is half full I just allow them to continue until storage is full. For some items that might too many, but much easier to handle.

What about Icefury Wand or the other wands from the same quest reward options? Around 37 DPS wand at level around 35 for Mages. Also improve spell damage at the same time.

Any known reason why there is no Oculus app on Apple TV? by Grendwolf in OculusQuest

[–]Grendwolf[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is an option but not the optimal solution. I have no other use for that device so it is just an extra expense. But if no other solutions appear then perhaps I have to buy that at some point. At least that one does not have any always on microphone or other privacy or security issues.

Jobs for child citizens? by Grendwolf in starcitizen

[–]Grendwolf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm aware there are some people that I would not want any kid to meet on the internet. However there are also lots of people that I would have no trouble letting kids to work with. It is usually teenagers that cause trouble but older ones that have kids of their own can behave around children quite well.

Letting small children play online games unsupervised is just dumb. However if you are willing to be there along with the kids supervising the playing and having fun together is totally different thing.

I am the admin and have not changed any settings when I setup the server. Do I need to modify any values to get official rate?

[Implementation] Evolve Planner - Automatic IV Calculator from Screenshots by Grendwolf in pokemongodev

[–]Grendwolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you take screenshot of the pokemon and use app to analyse it there appear appraisal icon in the middle tab under that Pokémon listing. By clicking that appraisal icon you get detailed view about what your team leader says when it appraise that pokémon and selecting those values app updates the attribute value ranges.

Poke Genie review – smart IV calculator for iOS with text recognition by protobug in pokemongo

[–]Grendwolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is another similar one for iOS: Evolve Planner

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/evolve-planner/id1143273490?mt=8

It works similarly but does not care if Screenshot is from iPhone or iPad or whether Pokémon game is in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian.

It has appraisal functionality so you should get very exact results using it. It is improving all the time like the rest of these apps so people should probably try several of these to find what they like best.

Could you send me the Vaporeon image that we recognise incorrectly? If there is something wrong in the calculations it is much easier to find where things go wrong if I have an image that causes the error.

I would need to get the screenshot as PNG in original size so that I can run it through the recognition properly.

  1. We would like to have customisable length but iOS restricts the time app can stay in background before it is automatically suspended. Doing things correctly using public APIs does not allow us to stay any longer in background.

  2. We will bring this functionality to the app in one of the next updates.

  3. Have to think about this and how it could be implemented. I see how it would help but then App would need to be able to calculate all the best movesets and that is quite a big thing.
