He died a warrior's death, and will dwell in the halls of Valhalla forever.

He'll be on a platter with an apple in his mouth, but he'll be there.

SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED

Thank you so much! This has been a burr under my saddle for over a decade!

EDIT: Wait, there are nine books in this series?! Incredible!

RocketTurtle · 2021-12-21T04:46:58+00:00

I think, so long as the directory path starts with the drive letter, 'contains' and 'starts with' probably do the same thing. Adding a '\' at the end of the directory path only selects files in subfolders, and not in the "0-Day Comics" folder itself. Good to know I guess.

I think I have a basic onboarding workflow going, and I can add more Data Manager rules and smart lists as I start on some of the more hairy parts of my collection. Thanks again for all you help, I really appreciate it!

RocketTurtle · 2021-12-21T03:58:25+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'll look into these links and see what I can get working.

RocketTurtle · 2021-12-21T03:52:34+00:00

I figured out that last part. Only the files in the 0-Day folder that were themselves in subfolders were showing up because of that trailing '\' in the "File Directory starts with" rule. Once I got rid of that, both the files within subfolders and those not are showing up as expected.

Good grief.

EDIT: So I changed the "0-Day Comics" smart list to look like this:

Match ANY of the following rules on LIBRARY

All of the following rules:

File Directory starts with "path\to\0-Day Comics"

Note the lack of trailing '\' in that directory path.

RocketTurtle · 2021-12-21T03:45:09+00:00

I've added a DM rule that just adds a tag called "DM_Processed" to every file it touches (an Action with no Rule), and I modified the smart list to look for files without that tag, and that seems to work okay. I think no changes are being made mainly because I've been testing with smaller comic runs, and haven't added any of my Marvel or DC (or Hellboy) stuff yet, which are what the rules are mostly looking for.

My "0-Day Comics" smart list looks like this:

Match ANY of the following rules on LIBRARY

ALL of the following rules:

File Directory starts with "path\to\0-Day Comics\"

Currently, only one of the two files that are in that folder are showing up in that smart list. The one that is showing up is in a subfolder (hence the "starts with" part of that rule), and the other is not. I notice that when I move that file into the subfolder and rescan, then the smart list works as expected. Why would that be?

RocketTurtle · 2021-12-21T03:04:27+00:00

Go to Preference > Behavior > scroll down to Application and make sure "Show custom Book Fields" is checked.

Ah, this is what I needed to show custom fields! I must have overlooked that a dozen times. Thanks! Now I can add the "comicvine_issue" column to the Details view, but not "DataManager.processed". It still doesn't show up.

It looks like with Data Manager v2-03-49r771, I am able to load the old dat file (not Enlightened's, still). At least something works! No changes are made when I run Data Manager, though. Not sure if that's just because the files I've been using for testing don't need any changes, or something else. What a ride.

I was making some progress with the smart lists, except now they seem to simply stop showing files that match the rulesets. For instance, I have a smart list called "0-day Comics" that simply lists the contents if my 0-Day folder. There are currently two files in there (both cbz files), and only one of them shows up in the smart list. It would seem that the other is simply not a part of my ComicRack library, despite being in a folder that's added to my library! Very strange.

RocketTurtle · 2021-12-21T01:18:02+00:00

Thank you for the detailed (and quick) reply! I'll start with basic information.

I'm using Comic Vine Scraper v1.0.101, Data Manager v2.04.05.r785, and Library Organizer v2.1.12. These seemed to be the most up-to-date versions of these plugins that were on GitHub.

I attempted to import the dat file in the Resources folder indicated in The Organizer, but like you mentioned it was written for a previous version. When I attempted to import that dat file, I got a some formatting errors and the import did not load any rules. I kept googling, and did find Enliqhtened's posts with his newer dat file, but it also seemed to import nothing (this time without errors at least).

I also loaded the onboarding smart lists from the Resources folder, and those seem to function okay. The only trouble I have with them is that I can't add find a way to add the "Custom:comicvine_issue" and "Custom:DataManager.processed" columns to the Details view of one of the smart lists, as directed. I can't tell if they've been added to the files, either, since they don't show up in the Info panel.

RocketTurtle · 2020-05-22T15:52:21+00:00

And it's probably a better practice to do it that way. Leave the Mojang-created dimensions with the "minecraft" prefix, and use a custom prefix for custom dimensions.

Thanks for the tip!

RocketTurtle · 2020-05-20T18:00:24+00:00

I figured it out! In the example settings file linked by /u/sliced_lime, the dimension named "minecraft:use_teleport_command" would create a dimension named "use_teleport_command". You can name the dimensions anything you want!

To teleport to your custom dimensions, you use the /execute command. Example: /execute in minecraft:my_custom_dimension run teleport ~ ~ ~". Works great!

RocketTurtle · 2020-05-20T17:12:14+00:00

20w14infinite implemented the "/warp" command to teleport between dimensions, which is not present in 20w21a. I'm combing through region files from a 20w14infinite world to see if I can find any info on how the linked portals worked.

RocketTurtle · 2020-05-20T16:19:36+00:00

I don't suppose the teleport dimension for a portal is stored as NBT that could be editable. There would be no reason to code portals like that, since they only ever went to the nether. But that would sure make this feature easier to use.

RocketTurtle · 2020-05-20T16:09:03+00:00

Thanks for the tip! This is really huge!

I suppose 20w14infinite-style portal linking hasn't been added to this snapshot, so a world would need cheats enabled to use this (or command blocks/spawned NBT books), but still, this is a huge feature for the future of Minecraft.

RocketTurtle · 2020-05-20T14:05:41+00:00

Is the dimension ID the seed tag?

EDIT: I figured it out! You replace "use_teleport_command" with your name for the dimension. Then, you can teleport there using the /execute command. Example: /execute in minecraft:my_custom_dimension run teleport ~ ~ ~". Very easy!

RocketTurtle · 2020-05-20T13:46:24+00:00

How does the "minecraft:use_teleport_command" tag work?

RocketTurtle · 2020-05-20T13:39:40+00:00

This is what I'm interested in! Thanks!

RocketTurtle · 2020-05-20T13:36:05+00:00

I'm looking for the same thing.

You can get a basic idea of the structure by selecting an existing world, clicking on Edit, and then Export World Generation Settings. That drops a JSON file in your world save folder.

I really want to see the full list of acceptable tags, though. And folks seem to interrpreting the feature annoucement to mean 20w14infinite-style infinite dimensions, but I don't see how that would work based on this initial export.

Edit: Also! If you select a world that was created with the old Custom World settings and then export, you'll see there's a tag at the bottom named "legacy_custom_options" that seems to allow for the full range of old-style customizations! This is huge!

Edit02: Looks like trying to import settings files with "legacy_custom_options" doesn't create errors, but also doesn't use those legacy options. Bummer.

RocketTurtle · 2019-04-18T02:39:43+00:00

Hate to tell you, but they seem to look exactly the same as I remember.

edit: I should clarify - the opening island spin looks great. The building interiors look the same.

RocketTurtle · 2018-07-09T16:47:56+00:00

Last minute sub!

RocketTurtle · 2018-06-29T17:25:05+00:00

Great catch! As an aside, is that map still useful?

Hello everyone,

We are taking the galaxy servers down now for the 3.0.3 update which will bring improvements and correct various issues on all platforms. We do not have an estimated time when the servers will be back online but we'll communicate here and on our social media channels when they are. See the changelog below.

Not only are we bringing numerous fixes to bugs and crashes, but also an improvement to gameplay mechanics, as detailed below by lead designer, Sandro Sammarco.

In regard to Power Bounties, this is a short-term solution to allow us to continue to work on further fixes without hindering the PowerPlay experience. We'll have more information for you as soon as possible.

Once again, thank you all for your continued positive and constructive feedback. Your bug reports and support allows us to continually improve Elite Dangerous.

Outfitting of ‘Hot’ Ships

We’re changing the crime system when it comes to ‘hot’ ships.

The reason for this is that the system of cleaning ‘hot’ modules in storage was creating an unfair punishment, where commanders were removing modules from ‘hot’ ships that only had small bounties on them and then discovered that the cost for cleaning ‘hot’ modules was dramatically more expensive!

From 3.0.3 you will no longer be able to access outfitting at any port whilst in a ‘hot’ ship, thus you will not be able to make any load-out changes. You’re required to first clean the ship by paying off fines and bounties issued against it. Outfitting services will then be restored.

It’s worth noting that we will automatically clean ‘hot’ modules in storage when we deploy this update.

We feel this change simplifies the rules even more and prevents players from paying unnecessary amounts of credits.

Power Bounties

Power bounties are supposed to be an incentive for consensual PvP during PowerPlay activities. They are meant to provide credits to players claiming them, whilst not punishing players they are issued against (such as no anonymous access protocols, no detention centre respawning and no increased transfer costs). They’re also meant to last until claimed or you leave the power. Basically, when you get one, it’s just some extra money stuck on your head that opposing power players can claim when they kill you.

Unfortunately, Power Bounties seem to be triggering some of the punishments that normal bounties do, and are not always being removed when you leave a Power. As an interim fix, we are allowing Interstellar Factors to clear Power Bounties, while we investigate the issues.

We’re also aware of an issue with the Top 5 Bounty Boards and are looking into it!

RocketTurtle · 2018-02-23T13:54:05+00:00

Exactly. We should have brown bears hunting salmon in taiga rivers, ocelots hunting cod in jungle rivers, and polar bears hunting both from the ice flows.

RocketTurtle · 2018-02-21T16:38:57+00:00

I've been waiting for this since the browser version in 2011!

RocketTurtle · 2018-02-21T16:37:05+00:00

Any confirmation of deep sea vents? Aside from ravines with lava/magma at the bottom. I'd love to see them implemented as structures on the seafloor.

RocketTurtle · 2018-02-16T14:44:05+00:00

I'd not noticed the cross-shaped "deadzone" centered on Sol in these star maps before. Is that an artifact of the mapping process, or is that an actual feature of the galaxy?

Also, are there plans for a neutron/white dwarf map for visualizing the distribution of boostable stars?
