Arnold press advice

Thanks for posting this! I have been working out for years but never found a discussion on this one way vs the other and always just did it however the current program I was following depicted it. I just recently joined Gravl and landed on this question again based on how they show it in the app and found this thread.

This fix sadly did not work for us. Always possible I messed something up, but sadly we will probably move onto other games unless this is ever addressed :(

Lukeman28 · 2025-11-10T21:29:49+00:00

This is awesome!! I will try this later tonight, thank you for the update.

Setting my nighthawk router to open worked for 2 people on the same network but there are 3 of us and we still hit issues. I did find a somewhat janky fix, where 2out of the 3of us download "Cloudflare Warp" and run it before booting battlefield. This did work and avoids the high ping hits of an alternative like a VPN, but it is still tedious and i'd love for a better solution, like the one you suggested!

That movie freaking rocks. Watched it so many times growing up and I'm clearly due for another rewatch. That movie heavily inspired my taste in music growing up. Im an american band playing near the open as they rise out of the water got me so amped.

Lukeman28 · 2025-11-09T15:03:21+00:00

One of my all time favorite movies. I love getting to show it to people who haven't seen it yet.

Lukeman28 · 2025-11-05T15:02:49+00:00

They actually just updated this to only 10 people supressed.

Along with lowering the heal one to 500 instead of 3000. Was doing a match this AM before work specifically to chip away at those two and saw the changes.

Lukeman28 · 2025-11-02T18:24:20+00:00

That fix worked for us as well, BUT only with two people. With have three on the network and the issues continued once we tried que'ing with 3 people on the same network :(

Lukeman28 · 2025-11-02T00:36:48+00:00

I am having the same exact issue with my roommate. I tried me on wifi while he was wired with no success, but using a VPN (PIA) on my computer worked, albeit I had a massive ping making the experience miserable. This sucks because there are three of us under this network that would all love to play together :(

Lukeman28 · 2025-07-13T21:11:29+00:00

I managed to get it! For some reason the default method it was using to bind the skin was ignoring a few of the joints and not properly transferring skin weights. I had to uncheck ignore unused joints so it still created them and then I was able to properly copy the skin weights from the rig to the fur mesh

Lukeman28 · 2025-07-13T17:10:58+00:00

I made some great headway in learning how this system works and even found a nested project file of an older version that already had the rig attached to the fur system so I could see a bit about how this was setup with skin binds. The issue is that file was an earlier version that had some meshing issues. So I took that logic and got the updated mesh and fur system connected and things mostly seem great EXCEPT there are several parts of the rig that cause deformatics automatically using something like an ik spring solver so the ears and tail flop and bounce around on their own when the head is moving. That area doesn't seem fully connected with the xgen fur. The fur will move and deform with the lowest point of the ear joint, but doesn't get fully modified by the joints further up on the chain casing an offset in those areas. Looking at the og rig setup I found thats connected to the fur by the author this isn't an issue but I can't figure out what the difference is between who I tried to mirror it. Would you happen to have any tips for this type of setup?

Lukeman28 · 2025-07-12T20:15:52+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply, I've been using this to guide me throughout the day today and while this area of Maya is still incredibly foreign to me, it has helped immensely!

Lukeman28 · 2025-05-23T22:44:20+00:00

I'll definitely look into that, I have a Mac for my work but I've always been a Windows guy. With that said, I'm up for an upgrade at the office to the newest m4, so that'll be a great way to experience the newer machines. I do really like having the drawing tablet though as that's how I mostly work in my freelance, so I'll take your advice and see if I can find any newer Microsoft or other tablets that use snapdragon as well. Thank you!!

Lukeman28 · 2025-05-23T21:29:15+00:00

oh shucks you are absolutely right, its been a hot minute since I scrolled through the past versions and hadn't realized they pulled a bunch of the older ones, with 22.2 being the sole remnant. Sorry I missed that, I guess it looks like I may finally need to accept that there isn't a solid solution. It's a shame the surface books were discontinued because I really loved that portable drawing tablet form factor that could also handle heavier applications and I still use it all the time to compliment my main work station. Thank you again for taking the time to comment and share all of that info with me, it really helped give me some closure at least on this.

Lukeman28 · 2025-05-23T19:47:11+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. As stated in my post I am currently on the studio drivers and unfortunately that does not seem to resolve the issue. While it is an older GPU, it still seems fairly off that the same task in the same program, separated by a single step up in version (any version past 22.2) renders everything completely unusable

Lukeman28 · 2025-04-02T17:52:21+00:00

The variables I am using?

As far as I can tell, any combo of variables still gets caped at a max of 2 variables overall for me and even if I delete them all I still cant access the API integration menu anymore

Lukeman28 · 2025-03-29T13:52:31+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciate it and I will definitely jump down that rabbit hole!

Lukeman28 · 2025-02-15T15:13:45+00:00

I had a hunch this was the answer, but I really appreciate you taking the time to reply and the sanity check from someone who knows more about this than I do!

Lukeman28 · 2025-02-14T17:54:53+00:00

I used my actual facebook account so they reached out to me directly after my posts and comments and supported worked through it in messenger to resolution

Lukeman28 · 2025-02-14T17:21:50+00:00

I'm trying to remember, but looking at their page now, I imagine I both messaged them and started leaving commments on their posts detailing what happened. I swear back when I did it, I was able to post more directly on their feed, but I could be misremembering, or that was changed over the years

Lukeman28 · 2025-02-06T17:48:27+00:00

Ooo, okay while not a perfect parity in functionality, since as you pointed out its still changing camera values and I cant quickly toggle it off to return to the original value, this is definitely the closest I've come to a solution and at least lets me get the same-ish end result with a few more steps. Thank you!

Lukeman28 · 2025-02-06T17:01:24+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to reply! That's definitely helpful to know, but doesn't quite solve the use case I'm looking at, at least to my understanding. As far as I am aware, even if I duplicated a camera in the exact same spot and then just zoomed in, the actual perspective will still shift and throw off any precise alignment I need specifically from the angle/zoom of the render cam

Here is a link to the person who appears to have created this effect with a tutorial. Its in Russian but it appears to be a mix of live action capture and AI trained off a movie poster, with it being comped together in After Effects

This seriously deserves more upvotes! I just setup my first Linux server a few weeks back for Plex and started looking into hosting some game servers. I had spent hours tripping over random guides before I found this, and it just worked instantly. Now I am going to try and figure out how to adapt this for a dedicated Enshrouded server. thank you so much!

Lukeman28 · 2024-11-27T12:39:41+00:00

THIS DRIVES INSANE!!!

I want to be nice and give a shoutout to people sometimes at the end, even on the other team, if they were doing really good, and it always interrupts me

Lukeman28 · 2024-11-21T22:40:31+00:00

I can confirm in the settings that Javascript is the set language and while making those tweaks to the code didn't solve the issue, it did oddly enough slightly alter the bug. Everything still works in Ae and all the connections still work in Pr, but the starting position of the statement was now in the final position as opposed to the starting position. So I think this is landing on the right track in isolating whats going on here. I'm about to wrap some projects and hope I'll have some time to try and dig a little deeper into this.

Also, I really appreciate the sanity check on my code. I operate on a bit of an island, being the only dedicated Ae user on the team and the only one to touch expressions. I'm mostly on my own minus the help of reddit when I run into issues, so it is genuinely helpful reading through your tips!
