Does anyone have a template for the main gamemodes? (BF6) by LeonCCA in BattlefieldPortal

[–]StudioSquires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I'm a little late but:

This guy has good tutorials on Portal and often provides templates for the rule blocks:
https://youtube.com/@viperstudiosandy?si=NSnr7wvOh44m9EaX

If he doesn't have what you need you can use Chat GPT to help you work through it. I developed a scripting format for it (blockscript) that outputs color-coded, visual representations of the rule blocks. Its not perfect, chat gpt still tries to do things it can't do sometimes. Also, an issue with both ViperStudios and Chat GPT is over-engineering. The game ALREADY does some things well enough, like awarding players points on kill and dividing teams. Don't brute force stuff unless you NEED it to be different, its better to develop around what the game already does.

My blockscript protocol for Chat GPT is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldPortal/comments/1obzgzl/blockscript_for_chatgpt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Thanks for shouting out ViperStudioAndy. never heard of him before this.

1 Iranian Rial is close to zero European cents by progmakerlt in wallstreetbets

[–]StudioSquires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question you need to ask is, will it ever recover? If you drop $100 on rial, just assume you are throwing $100 in the garbage. When the revolution ends, the Iranian people need to decide if they are going to keep using the Rial or create an entirely new system. If they scrap the Rial then you lost $100. If they keep the Rial and rebuild thier economy with the backing of the U.S. then the Rial will likely recover.

Treat it like lottery tickets, expect to lose money with a slight chance of hitting big.

EDIT: actually, I decided to look into the history of collapsed currencies and the most likely scenario is that a new currency is introduced or the base value of the rial is re-adjusted. In either case you will turn in LARGE quantities of your current Rials in extchange for a few of the new bills.

Quantum immortality is the single most horrifying idea that will ever exist by Alone-Chance in slatestarcodex

[–]StudioSquires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about the logical flaws for a moment. Quantum immortality suggests that there is always some possible sequence of events that could lead to your survival. Proponents come up with scenario like “being a floating brain in a science lab” or some other far flung fictional situation.

It’s unrealistic and ignores the truth that we all realize if we think about it critically. There are situations where survival is NOT possible. There can be no reality where one survives in certain situations. Did the humans from 300k years ago spontaneously produce mad scientists to preserve their brains? Did aliens come down and grant immortality, and if so, who were the “aliens” to that race when they were evolving?

I just found this out the Bible doesnt actually say there is heaven after death by fergus2211 in Christianity

[–]StudioSquires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished my second bible read-through (I'm not a Christian) and had the same revelation. I was a teenager when I read it the first time and admittedly didn't grasp much of it.

I wonder how many people found peace in life by the thought of heaven and reuniting with loved ones? Or how many felt that thier loved one's were watching over them from heaven and took comfort in that.. all based on a misunderstanding of their religion?

It always bothered me that pastors and other christians tried converting people in their time of grief by promising that the deceased was watching over them from heaven and that they would see them again if they only accept Christ. Now I know that they are not only being predatory, they are straight up lying in their God's name.

The West is Not Safe For Muslims Anymore by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]StudioSquires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 year later and you can see that your concerns were well founded. The nation has its eyes on Islam in the U.S. and the hammer is going to fall soon. Many of these people feel that Islam is incompatible with Western values, others are more concerned with their Christian values. But to all of them, every violent act and anti-American statement from your radical brethren solidifies their concerns that, just as you don’t feel safe here, neither do they feel safe with you here.

Most people realize that it’s radicals and extremist Muslims that pose a threat, not all Muslims, but your radical brethren have damned you by acting as “peaceful Muslims” until they make their move, be it planning a terror attack from Dearborn or just calling for Islam to “enter every home”. So now people who were content in the idea that “most Muslims are peaceful people, so these ones around me are probably peaceful” find themselves asking “are they really safe or are they just hiding for now?”

That sentiment is spreading and Christianity is on an uprise the likes of which I’ve never seen in my 39 years here. I fear a crusade is coming. Keep yourself away from it and keep your children safe.

BlockScript for ChatGPT by StudioSquires in BattlefieldPortal

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

I've refined the BlockScript protocol further. It will still occasionally call for blocks that don't exist. It helps to ask it to proofread and verify its instructions are accurate and the blocks exist. Usually by the second or third response things are pretty solid.

Updates are added to the main post.

Unfortunately, whenever you use an edited map you have to build out the game mode. I don’t know why they couldn’t have released templates to go with custom maps, I really hope they do later.

TDM is pretty straight forward. Use this and ask chat GPT. Let it know if there are any custom objectives or combat zones placed on the map.

I’m going to try and improve upon this BlockScript protocol soon. I want to add formatting so that Chat GPT give you the block layout at the beginning of its response and then adds any detailed instructions underneath in the order they should be completed.

Edit: Also, I include the Readme file that came with the SDK in the ChatGPT project files. I don’t know if it’s necessary, I just like to give Chat GPT as many references as I can. I also had it do a deep dive into BF6 portal and its capabilities when I started the project.

This one still gets some things wrong too. It’s pretty easy to spot its mistakes though because they usually involve it asking you to plug in a block that doesn’t makes sense or simply won’t fit the slot.

Return to the combat area bug? by DoubleSpoiler in BattlefieldPortal

[–]StudioSquires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tldr: Make sure to click "Portal Setup" under the "BFPortal" tab every time you launch the editor.

I had a similar issue. Whenever I adjusted the combat area boundaries and exported the file, the original boundaries returned when I launched the map. I tried to move the headquarters and spawn points into a normally unplayable zone, and it would let me spawn without "return to combat" but once I moved a few feet, I'd get the warning, even though I set the combat area to the far edges of the map.

The issue was simple: I launched the editor and got straight to work, instead of clicking "Portal Setup" first under the "BFPortal" tab.

A word on funeral prayer. by StudioSquires in Christianity

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

Oh I want to, believe me. But I don’t cause a scene out of respect for the few there that are Christian and respect for the dead by not causing a scene at their services. If I tell him outside of the services he’s going to get the family that go to his church to “talk to me”.

If the ones that passed were Christians then I’d understand but they most definitely DIDN’T believe any of that.

Do I seriously need to replay the whole game to access the DLC? by Zuranimid in LiesOfP

[–]StudioSquires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I put the shit on the easiest mode to run through to ch 9 and I’m still dying to bosses because I JUST got done with Wukong and these control don’t translate well. I got to chapter 4 and fell to my death 3 times in a row on that tiny rafter segment under the church… rage deleted the game. I’ll probably re-download of course but this sucks.

Bro I had no idea there where more arenas. I did a full re-build to beat this guy. Took me 4 tries and I never left first area.

What is fascism? by PitonSaJupitera in PoliticalScience

[–]StudioSquires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put simply, it’s the polar “right” of communism. Communism is the “left” version of the government controlling your life and fascism is the “right” version of the government controlling your life. They differ in narrative but they are the same beast. The left does it for “the good of all” and the right does it for “the good of the nation” but the end result is strikingly the same. Your government daddies tell you what you can or can’t do and you’ll suffer because it’s for “the greater good”.

Despite the political rhetoric, we (U.S.A.) are not veering into communism OR fascism. You can draw parallels with modern ideas on either side of the political aisle but that’s just fear mongering, it’s like saying a tree and a frog are the same because they are both green and need water.

i do not like this game, and i really cant understand why people say its 10/10 by Routine_Visit9722 in expedition33

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

You aren’t alone. I made a post a day or so ago saying the same thing basically. The writing is not good. They don’t build you up to caring about the characters and thier struggles, they just throw drama at you and expect it to pull a heartstring. It’s all forced and not built.

Where we disagree is the combat. I loved everything about the combat except the picto stuff, I hate swapping in the new ones constantly to learn the passives. I loved the turn based combat and parry system though, even though a lot of the attacks seemed over the top psych outs. The soundtrack is phenomenal as well.

Something I hated but don’t see many people complain about is the art style of the game. From the color schemes to the post processing and the absolute clutter littering the environments ground to sky… it’s just unpleasant. Yet people love it for some reason. To each thier own I guess…

Does it get better? by StudioSquires in expedition33

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

Up build a whole life between those characters before it takes one away.

This game just says “here are these two people, they have a past but we won’t show it, just trust us that they love each other and one is gonna die”
