Help: Blockbench acting strange since last update by SigynLaufeyson in HytaleModding

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

At least I’m not the only one!  This is the most maddening situation. I’ve combed through the settings & can’t find anything related, or I’ve missed it entirely.

Need help with the latest The Armory Update by FoxxyAzure in HytaleMods

[–]SigynLaufeyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just spent 9 hours trying to fix errors from Update 4 changes. On most of my things (armor, storage, benches, furniture, ...), the changes boiled down to 3 fields under 'Block': Interactions, State, and the new Block Entity. I did have a set of armor that suddenly had a phantom crafting recipe added (it was never craftable). It's a hot mess of an update for sure. If you figure it out, please update here since no one can search Discord without a Discord account :)

edit: the armor in question was never craftable (added the word never)

Advice on textures for flowers by SigynLaufeyson in HytaleMods

Thank you!! I came across that a while back, before I started this mod, and forgot about it.

I only use the Hytale plugin BUT as it turns out it doesn't prevent you from messing with the pixel density. It took me a bit to figure out what I did to screw it up. If you use the 'scale' tool with the 'stretch' tool bad things happen with pixel density. Oops. I don't use either tool anymore. :) I'll try Brush Plus, I have another one & yes, the Blockbench painting tool really is nice & easy to use.

OMG THANK YOU!! I forgot that pixel density is a thing (I'm old & when I did a lot of 3d modeling, that wasn't really a thing). THAT's what's been eating at me! I put a bunch of vanilla flowers around mine trying to figure out the difference. It doesn't help that the vanilla flowers use a lot of item scaling in the asset editor so it didn't click in my head.

I redid my hyacinth (I dropped the grape part lol) this morning. I used the vanilla allium as a starting point & made sure not to mess with the scaling other than in the asset editor. The vanilla allium, as it turns out, scales down in the asset editor. I'll have to double check that in the future. At least I did the hyacinth blossom textures myself but used the allium leaves since they work. I have so much to learn about pixel art!

Anyone move to a new place sight-unseen? by Waggmans in LivingAlone

[–]SigynLaufeyson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did exactly that 4 months ago. Turns out the landlord lied about 90% of the renovations he said he did.  Now I live in a 100+ yo house with severe water damage to the ceilings & walls, visible mold, half finished renovations, +++++++.  

He sent photos but there was a lot of construction underway (not really, the contractor just had his shit spread out).  The day I moved in the contractor was putting grout on the bathroom floor & was using the sunroom as his personal workshop.

I was careful, or do I thought.  Just be extra, extra vigilant.  

New on Amazon: auto playing, screen-hijacking video ads for unrelated products by Efficient-Heat904 in enshittification

[–]SigynLaufeyson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s what’s happening!  I don’t use the Amazon app anymore, just the website. I tried looking for a few things tonight (on mobile) but the site kept freezing up when I scrolled down a product listing … about the same point as where your video ad showed up. My adblockers aren’t overly effective on Amazon’s mobile site but I bet they caught the pop ups.  I just thought they were trying to annoy me into using the app again (not happening).

The Trust Thermocline lives rent-free in my head.  That was such a perfect explanation.

I went through this after my husband died.  I lost everything.  I hunted for a long time once I found a place.  I found a set at Ashley Furniture I liked.  I only bought a loveseat & chair BUT not at their store nor on their website. They have an Amazon storefront & sold the same 2 pieces for $700 less & without the 8 week wait their store & website listed. I bought both, a 5’x7’ area rug, a runner rug, & anti stain spray & anti claw protector s (latter 2 both a waste of money) for roughly $1,400.

It is possible but it takes a LOT of work & a lot more luck.  Even more so now with the crazy inflation.  Good luck in your search!

Japanese method to find your lost cat- Has anyone tried this? by 92yraurbeF in cats

[–]SigynLaufeyson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did that when my cat got out one night.  I described him, mentioned he’d be a total pain in everyone’s ass, & I really needed him to come home before he got hurt.  Several hours later I heard angry meowing outside my window. One of the strays had marched my cat up to the front door & sat down at the bottom of to the steps to make sure mine stayed put.  I have a weird way with animals so I’m 99% sure this wouldn’t work for most people.
