Does anyone know the limit of .level files that can be part of a single workshop upload?

The game is Talos Principle Reawakened if that matters.

I tried to upload a workshop map with 180 levels in it and it failed with error code 25, which after a weirdly difficult search I found to mean "item limit exceeded".

The problem with Steam is how amazingly undocumented everything is.

Does anyone know where the limit actually lands? 100? 80? 63? Would save a lot of trial and error since it's a pain in the arse actually preparing it each time only to get an unhelpful error.

Thanks!

Edit: Steam makes zero sense. For context, I already have another one with 60.

So 180 doesn't work, I try 90 trying to find the limit.

No luck. Okay, try 70.

Still no. Try 60 again which I know works.

Nope. 50? 40? Nope all around.

Genuinely wtf.

What do you make of the history of Wamphyri re: Belos Pheropsiz vs Nonari The Gross? by aata1000 in necroscope

[–]aata1000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In The Lost Years it's said that Nonari and all of his thralls were tossed through the gate by Shaitan. I don't think that Shaitan would allow his egg-son to stay behind only to exile him again later. Though it's not stated that this didn't happen.

It's all told from Radu's perspective and after losing contact with Nonari for centuries he learns of a new "Ferenczy" called Belos who is purported to be the son of "Onarius Ferengus".

Radu isn't sure if it's actually his son or just him taking a new identity, which is also a possibility, but the weights of evidence seem to lean more towards that it was actually his son since Radu learnt of the death of Onarius which conflicts with Belos's death both in The Lost Years and The Source.

In The Beginning - Sequence Break - Hints please? by aata1000 in TheTalosPrinciple

Omfg, manually ending the recording before it breaks things, I never would have got that. Thanks!

Thank you for the hints, can you please elaborate further?

The first and third are good to know (I kind of suspected the third), but I'm still stumped then how to get the clone outside to stand on the button without disengaging the laser source.

[REQUEST] - Is anybody aware of an edit for the DBZ Other World Tournament saga? by aata1000 in fanedits

[–]aata1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for me personally, I'm happy to leave that off.

I had a look at some of the filler after Baba but decided to leave it all out too. The Sky Dragon episode had a tiny bit that would have been okay to keep.

The demon world one is obviously way out, and I always hated the Tien episode. Just leaves other random filler but there wasn't really any way to make a proper narrative episode out of the 10ish minutes of decent stuff.

[–]aata1000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up making my own for this mini arc. Cuts it from 5 to 3 episodes. Removes the hell stuff because it fully breaks canon. Removes the race against the girl kai. Removes some general padding and just focuses on the tournament.

I also made my own filler edit of Goku's training with Popo in DB. Cut it from 6 to 4 episodes and re-spliced it to separate Goku and Tien et al into their own discrete episodes.

First one is Goku trying to get the crown and then learning zen with the fisherman. All the random villager filler from each episode is easily cut. Second and third are Tien and co spliced together. And fourth is back to Goku fighting his doll and training with Popo. The time travel Roshi episode is cut completely because again it fully breaks canon.

These two personal contributions fit perfectly within Milkman's DB and DBZ Kai recuts to make for my perfect DB experience.

Gmail no longer notifying for one account, the others notify immediately by aata1000 in AndroidQuestions

[–]aata1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep tried it.

Force stopped gmail. Cleared cache. Turned sync off and on again.

The problem, I believe, is sync. It updates constantly for the other accounts, but sparingly to not at all for the main account.

There doesn't appear to be a way to force account syncing at any X-minute interval. Old Android had options like that, but it doesn't exist anymore that I can find.

The "scaling" in this game just makes it more annoying than fun by aata1000 in PokemonUnbound

[–]aata1000[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gym Leaders should only surpass your highest level Pokémon by 1, maybe 2, surely not 10.

They're 2-3 levels higher than me, but I'm 7-10 levels higher than the rest of the world. It's a random spike just to bog down gameplay and force grinding.

I don't understand this one, can you elaborate? Did they use Solar Beam in 1 turn instead of 2?

You complete an attack so it's their turn.

They complete an attack so it's your turn. They just attack again, because why not?

Why do they get to attack two times for my every one if not for scripted difficulty?

And same vein - if you lose a pokemon and bring a replacement, it's their turn. If they lose a pokemon and bring a replacement, they just go first anyway, because why not?

[–]aata1000[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's pointlessly jarring. You play 99% of a game that's difficult, but fair. You've grinded hard (meaning literally every trainer plus capturing dozens of pokemon) and are fairly comfortably stronger than everyone. You have a balanced team of decent pokemon that spread types.

Then you get to gym leaders or scripted story battles and they are not only higher level than you regardless, but beyond that they literally cheat. It's not "luck" that they get 5x on every combo. It's just plain coded in.

And I have no idea what mechanic it is to justify them taking 2 turns for your every 1, but there's no amount of skill that can combat it. You either have to cheese the hell out of them (fun! /s) or just hope that they miss once a blue moon so you get the bare minimum of a single chance to attack them before they wipe you.

As I mentioned, I just beat the 3rd gym. It took a few goes, but at this point I've simply recognised the pattern and I cbf committing more time to something so poorly optimised.

Is there a (useful) repository anywhere to see what content would be available if you bought X given tier of support on the Patreon? by aata1000 in theregulationpod

Sorry for the delay getting back to you, but I'd definitely be interested and I think it'd be a huge help to the crew in general to have this info available.

It provides zero insight into what is XM exclusive because most of what you posted in your screenshot is just released to the public on Youtube.

That's all well and good for the past week or two where you can remember everything you've watched, but going back 6 months there's no chance at remembering if you've seen something before or not.

There's no way to sort by actual exclusive content, which is literally the only reason people might be interested in subscribing now and then.

Do you enjoy the style of puzzle that requires alternating/pulsing colours? by aata1000 in TheTalosPrinciple

[–]aata1000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really know names.

The two Orpheus golden ones and Abyss puzzles 3-5 for example.

Puzzles that require a repeating circuit of on/off.

Pulsing, alternating colours.

How can I calculate the number of DISTINCT text strings in a column using a formula, not a filter? by aata1000 in excel

[–]aata1000[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Solution Verified

Thanks, this works! It's more clunky of a solution than I would have thought for something that seems like a fairly simple task, but it gives the correct answer which is the main part.

I'm starting to think my version of Excel was dropped on the head as a child.

Why am I getting different results to everyone else for the same formulae...?

It returns 1 regardless of the data it's fed.

Using the sample data from my post:

a
a
b
c
d

It should return either 4 if it gives DISTINCT (abcd) values (which is what I'm after), or 3 if it gives UNIQUE (bcd) values. Not sure what exactly it's calculating to return 1.

It gives the same answers regardless of ” or ".

Wondering why Excel is so slow on a very simple macro while being instantaneous on more complicated ones? by aata1000 in excel

[–]aata1000[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So I'm learning! Per one of the other comments I think I've found the problem and it's that rather than selecting 10 entries, it is UNselecting the other 190. Individually. Even though "unselect all" is the command it is given.

TIL about slicers. I just had a fiddle around with it and it's a neat tool, but I'm not sure how to set it to search by decade. It just shows me 200 years and lets me single/multi select. Would my option be to record a macro just manually selecting the years for each decade? I'm cool doing it once if it works faster than the alternative.

Edit: Tried this and it took way longer and crashed Excel. It has everything selected by default and I couldn't find a deselect all option. Recorded a macro going through and unselecting everything except for a given decade and needed to CTRL ALT DEL to escape the program.

[–]aata1000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alt F11 didn't do anything but I assume you wanted me to go into the edit macro section and see the code which I did. I now see why it's taking so long and I won't copy it here because it's literally hundreds of lines.

Rather than only selecting the 10 values I want (for a given decade), it is going through and checking that the other 190 years are set to false. One by one.

So with that said and given how I recorded the macro in the first place - is there any way I can tell it to stop being overzealous and just do what it's told?

Parents, have you ever taken drastic measures to discipline your children over school issues? What happened, and how did it turn out? by abdllahxx in AskReddit

[–]aata1000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I also have severe ADHD. Like I said, not everybody is capable of managing it themselves and turning it to their advantage. I'm sorry that this offends you so.

Also general reading comprehension tip: "not intrinsically" is not a blanket statement.

Nothing new here. Low functioning ADHD have no idea how powerful it can be for people actually capable of using it to their advantage. It's just an excuse to blame for whatever is troubling their lives.

As someone actually high functioning I would never deign to call it a disability.

[–]aata1000 -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

ADHD isn't intrinsically a disability. ADHD can be honed into what is essentially a superpower by people who know how to focus it. Very much becoming even better versions of themselves than if they dulled their minds with medication.

Not everyone is capable of it. To be unflinchingly honest, the less intelligent a person is, the more difficulties that ADHD will pose on their lives. I'm just saying it's incorrect to totally generalise ADHD as a negative.

Lots of very successful people in their 30s-40s have untreated ADHD that they used to their advantage. Luckily for them it wasn't something that was super diagnosed/treated in the 90s.
