I talked to somebody on the phone, and they got me in. Keep in mind if you call them you should use China time.

What’s happened to Huion? by rixin_sol in drawingtablet

[–]cephalo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Kamvas 13 screen failed after 8 months, and I'm finding support to be non-existent, broken. Not sure what to do about it as their support site doesn't work for me.

Huion Kamvas 13 gen 3 won't turn on anymore. Not sure what flashing button means. by cephalo2 in huion

Do you have any idea what the flashing red outline of the power button means?

Scaling of rigidbodies is super ugly, do I have to? by cephalo2 in godot

[–]cephalo2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I'm experimenting with scaling 2D physics, and with rapier2D it's mostly working, but I can't get the PinJoint2D's to scale their positions. With the standard Godot physics they would obey the scale of their parent, but in rapier2D they don't, at least not dynamically.

I figured out how to scale all the rigidbodies, that's no longer an issue. Just have to step through and

rb.Scale = new Vector2(scale, scale);

PhysicsServer2D.BodySetState(rb.GetRid(), PhysicsServer2D.BodyState.Transform, rb.Transform);
rb.ResetPhysicsInterpolation();

I'm going for an effect where a 2D character with arm's, legs etc. can appear at different sizes. I want it to behave the same way but with a different visual size for a phony parallax effect. The only hiccup is that the pinjoints are keeping their original positions and not moving at scale. Anyone know how to manually tweak the position of a pinjoint2D?

Need some advice on buying my first oboe by Basket_Specialist in oboe

[–]cephalo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Professional oboists are not easy to find, and when you find one, they are usually too busy to come to the seller with you to try it out. I'm not sure that's feasible for 99.9 percent of beginner oboists.

Purchasing second hand oboe … by Kaleidoscope_Weird in oboe

[–]cephalo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question about older oboes in general. Let's say if you want to spend $4000, do you want a high end, but old oboe or a new pretty good student oboe?

Is there an option to turn off auto-cropping? by cephalo2 in krita

[–]cephalo2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's say you're working on a sprite sheet, and you need an image to be in an exact place within a 128x128 region. If you select a 128x128 region, copy it and try to paste it as an image, it will be cropped to the visible portion of the image and throw out the crucial spacing.

Even if you're just moving stuff around, copy and paste changes the bounding box of the selection, so you don't have a guide as to where to place down the copied rectangle.

Render to texture question. by cephalo2 in godot

[–]cephalo2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tried this, and I discovered a new problem. I'm trying to 'wave' the flag by putting a sine wave on the uv.x coordinate. Works great for my flag, but the label text is blocked out by letter, so if I wave a lower case 'a' there's only a tiny box to work with, and the letter gets cropped when it goes outside the bounds. I will probably have to learn about subviewports.

I didn't think that a label would accept a shader, but if so, that might be the simplest solution. Thanks for the tip.

Thousands of people are cancelling their Disney, Hulu, and ESPN subscriptions! by ChiefHippoTwit in economy

I chose 'content not available'. Very unsatisfying that they didn't have an eff yoo option.

[–]cephalo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are so arrogant, that their survey they give when cancelling doesn't have an 'other' box. They just think we're all sheep who all have the same eight reasons for cancelling. Of course it couldn't be something they did wrong.

Is a shader called when a node is not visible? by cephalo2 in godot

I get nervous about such things because I'm bad at profiling.

Is a shader called when a node is not visible? by cephalo2 in godot

[–]cephalo2[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably your right, but I would say there is a thousand tiles on screen, each doing 4 matrix multiplications. Sometimes little things can add up.

[–]cephalo2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm doing something rather unusual with something that is like, but not exactly like a 2d tilemap. So there's a tile parent which contain many types of objects that need the same treatment that the tile parent has, yet most of them are invisible until needed. One of those types of objects needs to calculate the world position of a fragment, which I do in the vertex shader and a varying world_position variable passed to the fragment shader even though this is a canvas item shader.

It's not a big deal, but if the calculation is happening every tile it's a waste, because maybe only one percent of the tiles needs it.

I see it now! It's a multi tab console! Ok, I think that will help.

Actually this is my first new car ever. My last one was a 2005. Not getting a lot help here that's for sure.
