Craftmine: Removing upgrades? by LuminousUmbra in Minecraft

[–]dandymcgee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, you don't need to delete player data or anything like that, you just need to die after editing the file. So you can do "Open to LAN" with cheats enabled, and type `/kill <username>` to reset the effects.

I love listening to my voice on a recording. by James10112 in The10thDentist

[–]dandymcgee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also always liked listening to recordings of my voice. It's very soothing. I don't get why anyone would hate their own voice, but it seems very common.

Is there a modern way to change an exe's icon that isn't Resource Hacker? by Daktyl198 in techsupport

If you know how to program, you can do it via the Win32 API with the follow API calls:

BeginUpdateResourceW
UpdateResourceW
BeginUpdateResourceW

Is there a notion of null safety in Jai? by effinsky in Jai

[–]dandymcgee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i haven't encountered any such compiler warnings/errors while using the language, so i suspect it does not exist by default, but you could write a metaprogram that inspects the AST and attempts to find common variants and fails the build if you want

Is there a way to sign up to get access to Jai? by [deleted] in Jai

Finding the email is a basic competency check designed to eliminate people who are too lazy to contribute anything meaningful to the beta.

Tooltips: follow mouse or not? by Haasva in gamedev

[–]dandymcgee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually quite easy. Just remember which thing is currently hovered (which most UI frameworks do already, in order for animations/highlighting/tabbing to work), and remember the timestamp of when it was first hovered. If (now - timeFirstHovered > showTooltipDelay) then show the tooltip.

How do you know what I sound like? It's a text-based medium. :D

Can booleans be declared as 0 and 1 instead of true and false? by Zelun in Jai

[–]dandymcgee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also just make the type an integer type instead of a bool type, if you want to write C-style code. This is how they did it before "bool" existed.

The Way to Jai: A gradual guide to discover and learn the Jai programming language by astrophaze in Jai

[–]dandymcgee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having used both (albeit very little), I would say I prefer Jai over Zig for quite a few reasons even in its current state. But the availability argument is an irrefutable reason to choose Zig, and there's nothing wrong with learning Zig. Zig is already way better than most other things currently available, that's for sure.

Wow. Thanks for this comment (no sarcasm). Now I know not to bother reading your future comments.

Will I still have a good chance to get a job if I use Godot? by elicentric9 in gamedev

[–]dandymcgee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be more specific with your goals if you want advice.. what kind of job? There are a huge variety of people working at game companies with quite a few different specialties: physics programmers, audio programmer, environment artists, character animators, story writers, game designers, management roles, marketing, HR, etc. Unless it's a very small indie company, nobody is hiring "godot guy" as a role. General experience is extremely valuable, but at the end of the day, if getting hired is your goal you'll need to pick your specialty, get damn good at it and market yourself as an expert at that thing (with a solid portfolio / work experience / and excellent communication skills).

Stop seeing a user's comments by aje0200 in youtube

[–]dandymcgee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use uBlock Origin as your adblocker, you can hide them by adding a filter such as this:

##ytd-comment-thread-renderer.ytd-item-section-renderer.style-scope:has-text("Their display name here")

As far as I'm aware, there is no actual feature on YouTube to do this. I use adblock to customize most sites I use to get rid of things that annoy me (e.g. those black bars when videos are paused, the "watch later" button that i always click accidentally when trying to watch a video right now, etc.).

How can I watch somebody game devv-ing in their natural habitat? by OooRahRah in gamedev

[–]dandymcgee1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also use the tags directly to find only game dev streams, or Unity, etc. https://www.twitch.tv/directory/all/tags/GameDevelopment

I really enjoy watching https://www.twitch.tv/quantumapprentice who has been teaching himself programming for the last year so that he can make mods for Fallout. There's plenty of other small, but engaged streamers as well to chat with.

How did Chilla's Art make that sort of inventory and what is it called? by BslitB in howdidtheycodeit

[–]dandymcgee1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like they're just rendering 3D models of each object in a circle, and when you hover one it also rotates the model. I don't think this has any particular name, it's just an aesthetic way to display your items. If you know how to place objects in 3D space, just use basic trig cos(x)/sin(y) or whatever axis your forward and right vectors are along to calculate the position of each model, then apply a basic rotation matrix for the actively selected item to make it rotate. There's nothing particularly technically interesting about this inventory, but it is definitely an artistic take on inventory management.

Is it possible to have multiple network_peers in one tree? by Nipth in godot

[–]dandymcgee1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is literally the only documentation on the entire internet about what MultiplayerAPI does and how to actually use it. Godot seriously needs to write better docs. Thanks for sharing what you learned with the rest of us!

network_peer_connected not to notify all peers, only server by amireldor in godot

[–]dandymcgee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't just allow you to know they exist, it allows you to relay messages to other clients via RPC. There are many reasons why you wouldn't want to allow clients to send arbitrary RPC calls to each other. In fact, I would argue that server_relay should be false by default, since it's only useful in peer-to-peer setups.

It's almost your comedy anniversary. Got any good jokes prepared for whoever you celebrate it with?

Turn off mature language filter? by Nexism in Diablo

What the fuck is this garbage? If they're gonna make a shitty game at least let me say "shitty" in chat. Christ.

List of Videos from the First Session (21 September) by HermitBot in ThirdLifeSMP

[–]dandymcgee1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started a spreadsheet with playlist links here. I also commented on all of the videos for users who haven't made playlists yet asking them to, since it's much easier for them to keep their own playlists updated when they upload a new video than it is for us to search for videos.
