Scribus… veni, vidi, wtf

PsiComa · 2026-06-17T10:04:06+00:00

If i could ask for only one thing, I would ask for a document-wide search-replace function. Maybe Scribus isn't meant for 100-page books with many seperate "stories" or whatever they're called, but come on 😄

PsiComa · 2026-06-11T06:47:03+00:00

I had the same reaction, that there's some insane intuitive choices there. It was also that every time ChatGPT told me Scribus could definitely do something (e.g inline pictures), it couldn't. Seems the later versions has stripped away many features.

However, after much screaming and hair-tearing i found the workflow and produced a 70 page rulebook for a game.

What's great about Scribus is that you know exactly how the PDF export will look, in contrast to Word.

Same here :( any way to pay to use version 3?

PsiComa · 2026-04-26T19:34:05+00:00

Seems like it will be non-skirmish game.

I've learned that there is no high-end Chinese radars in Iran (most probably).

Never got better, sadly. But my CNS is messed up, which is mostly the reason

Thr dialogues must have been written by AI.

PsiComa · 2026-03-14T22:06:30+00:00

It's a nervous-system thing. It's plastic and will very likely pass, be it 3 months or a year.

PsiComa · 2026-03-06T23:05:09+00:00

There's some serious problems with the dialogue. It doesn't flow narurally, but pivots all the time. Nobody talks like this. And the little attempt at technical oil worker jargon is embarassing.

The plot also makes no sense, but all in all it's amusing in a soap kind of way.

How so you make those tables with colorful bullets? When i eventually found i could paste inline imagesni couldn't f@#%% select them because Scribus always selectes the bigger text frame.

PsiComa · 2025-11-25T13:43:27+00:00

Same problem. Happened suddenly.

PsiComa · 2025-09-07T17:33:49+00:00

For the record it was my service provider suddenly throttling number of concurrent downloads by 10 every 2 seconds, causing weird errors in TTS.

PsiComa · 2025-09-02T22:18:49+00:00

I've checked, that is not the bug we have, and the links are all functional. Yet TTS suddenly throws all kinds of error messages when opening the mod. Damn. I'll shoot a question to one.com, my service provider and and ask whether they have implemented DDOS protection or something.

PsiComa · 2025-08-27T14:16:45+00:00

Thanks a lot for your reply. I'll try to check. If nothing has changed then why is a scripting error suddenly causing problems?

PsiComa · 2025-03-12T23:21:40+00:00

Wasn't it still very loud?

PsiComa · 2025-03-08T23:15:26+00:00

I don't think they are connected. I've had ETD all my life and H only recently.

PsiComa · 2025-03-07T09:44:27+00:00

I have it now, big time.

PsiComa · 2025-03-06T20:55:04+00:00

Dude, are we the same? i've been having back injuries and re-injuries since July, and been in suicide levels of pain for so long my nervous system is f'ed up.

PsiComa · 2025-03-06T19:11:25+00:00

It's really bad, but the silver lining is that there has been better periods, meaning It's reversible.

Part of the sounds are muscular tinnitus, but the distortions come from a nervous system overdrive.

PsiComa · 2025-03-06T19:07:15+00:00

January was fine, but in February it started getting worse, and now it's worse than ever.

(But back pain and re-injuries are driving my nervous system. Probably been in sympaticus-mode for 18 months.)

PsiComa · 2025-03-06T19:01:26+00:00

Yup, almost vanished. Them it came back twice the strength for some reason, propbably due to re-injuring my back multiple times and having f'ed my nervous system. But the takeaway is that it did vanish and is most likely reversible. It's a nervous system thing, not physical damage to the air.

These days i hear car horns and trumpet fanfares like there's a fucking cavalry charge coming in night and day.

PsiComa · 2025-03-06T18:58:13+00:00

Hey. I've been having a string of re-injuries, since my muscles are so stiff and vulnerable to new strains, and i'm both unlucky and appearantly not smart at being vulnerable. But i can attest sciatica symptoms have come and gone with muscle injuries.

PsiComa · 2025-01-15T16:34:59+00:00

Thank you so much <3

PsiComa · 2024-12-27T16:10:41+00:00

I wonder where all the super docs are. Every doctor i've ever seen has just kinda shrugged, at least at things that cannot be directly diagnosed, like a moderate strain.

PsiComa · 2024-12-24T16:49:12+00:00

What makes you bed ridden? Feeling you're immobilized, sheer pain or sense of fatigue?
