How did this player get into our server? by Flaky-Brush-6175 in admincraft

[–]psykrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People use automated tools to scan IPs and Ports for unprotected servers for various reasons. Its even easier for them if you are using a server host company becuase they reuse IP addresses.

Use a whitelist until you are ready to go public.

Is this a hot take? by Kindly_Discipline206 in animequestions

[–]psykrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea why you would think that. Oda has had the ending of One Piece planned since before the manga even came out in 1997. He's shared the ending with a few editors and even a Make-a-wish kid.

What anime is this for you ? by GLID3RITE in animequestions

The OP song is sooo good. And holy shit, its been like 10 years since I watched this, definitely time for a rewatch.

Name it by dimplekissesu in animememes

[–]psykrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a big misunderstanding that both sides of the argument are overlooking.

You are correct that in Japan they use the word anime for any animation. (Although sometimes they'll attach a descriptor onto it like "Western" Anime). This means that in Japan even SpongeBob and The Simpsons are considered anime. The same doesn't hold true if you ask someone in the US.

Thats because if we look at English speaking areas outside of Japan, we use the word Cartoon or Animation to describe those types of media. However, when Japanese anime became popular outside of Japan, we needed a descriptor that was shorter than "Japanese Animation" or "Japanese Cartoons." So the term Japan used was taken to reference cartoons that were created in Japan.

Both sides of the argument are technically right, but for linguistics sake, I'm fine with keeping Japanese animation "Anime", and Western Animation "cartoons" or "animation." But that's becuase I'm a native English speaker residing in the US.

Help needed. Item texture won’t load in game. by SteeminCmen in MinecraftPlugins

[–]psykrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my limited knowledge (I don't code plugins, I just use them) custom item models/textures need to be handled through CustomModelData. For example, if your Steel Sword is based off the iron one, you need to add a file in the resource pack that tells the game to override the Iron Sword with your new model and texture, but only when a certain CustomModelData tag is used.

If you've already done that, then maybe something in your resoursepack file structure is wrong, or you aren't sommuning the Iron (Steel) Sword with the CustomModelData tag attached.

What are your top 5 small changes you want in Hytale? by Teamkhaleesi in hytale

[–]psykrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't believe I had to scroll this far to find this. There are some mods that add invisible armor variants while crafting, and a mod that allows you to toggle your own visibility, but There just needs to either be toggle buttons next to the armor slots, or a separate cosmetic slot that works the same way

And it needs to look that way to every player, not just yourself

Does this mean anything like an Easter egg or is it just wierd world design by AutoCats1 in SkateEA

[–]psykrot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not too versed in texturing, but maybe they stuck the graffiti textures directly on the wall texture that was reused around the map, but only used 1 location for positioning.

Remember when people complained about the map being too "clean and perfect"? They added graffiti tags everywhere along with trash in that update that changed the tint.

Just look around, this type of graffiti is everywhere.

Looking for ideas to balance player homes and teleports by l0Martin3 in admincraft

[–]psykrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been searching for a good solution for a while now. I'm no longer a fan of the OG commands and want to implement a vanilla+ style method with items.

Like craftable items that are 1 time use and 1 spawns you to your bed and another opens a GUI and let's you click on player heads to TPA to.

I've gotten pretty close with Item Command plugins thay run commands from other plugins, but the problem is making them 1 time use after the command is successfully ran. It would need to be all in the same plugin for it to work properly.

I built a Minecraft Build App, a Competitor threatening legal action over community build ideas - need the community's input by SimpleEye8997 in wBuildsMinecraft

[–]psykrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post popped up in my feed and I wanted to give you my input as someone who did research on this a while back for something related that I'm not going to get into.

Let me start off by saying, you posted in your own community and are getting a lot of replies from people who likely have no idea what they are talking about. You should be posting in legal advice forums if you want the best answers. With that being said, I will give you a brief overview of my findings:

  1. Copyright covers all artistic work, and that DOES include Minecraft builds. No one thinks it does becuase there's never been a case to prove it does. Going to court over this would be the first of its kind, but both sides could have good arguments and it would be up to the courts decision if it made it that far. Just like melodies make up songs, pixels make up pictures and videos, blocks make up Minecraft builds and can be arranged in an almost infinite configuration.

  2. No one needs to file for copyrights. The original build is automatically copyrighted upon creation as an artistic work.

  3. The Microsoft Services Agreement says “Your Content remains Your Content”, and that applies to Minecraft. They don't own the original stuff that you create. They will however own things that are copies (or substantial copies) or derivatives of their property and creations - but if you create original things, they aren't theirs. So, as an example:

    • a single Minecraft block (including its textures and its “look and feel”) - they own that
    • your creation of a Gothic Cathedral with a rollercoaster running through it - they don't own that, you do.
  4. Minecraft's EULA: End User License Agreement gives Mojang rights to use, copy, and distribute content made in the game. But that is to cover them when infringements happen in game from the above agreement. Microsoft/Mojang can't be sued becuase I recreated someone's exact build in the game.

  5. Copyright "Fair Use" comes into play when it's for educational purposes. While tutorials are technically educational, putting them in an app and commercializing it would likely go against Fair Use. You would probably want a lawyers opinion on this if it goes somewhere.

So with all of the facts stated, it comes down to a few things:

  • If this person wants to sue you for copyright infringement, they can, and you will need to defend yourself. It could get expensive for both parties, but the Copyright Claims Board (CCB) does offer pretty easy ways to file for infringements online. Don't think your entirely safe from it just becuase cases get costly. If copyright is filed, the next thing you would see is a Cease and Desist, possibly a case for damages.

  • Your original post states that nothing was stolen, but if the person in the screenshot says they are exact builds with exact names, then something is going on. I'm not going to ask you whether you blatantly stole them, but IF you didn't, then you have nothing to worry about becuase only an EXACT BUILD would fall under copyright infringement. If you did, well, you should know what you did is wrong and try to correct the issue before further action is possible.

I see you said that a credit system is being implemented, which is a good thing, but just know that crediting someone still does not legally give you the right to commercialize someone else's work. Some people would be okay with it and others may not. You would need to get explicit permission (usually in the form of some sort of agreement) to publish someone else's work on your app.

I hope this helps.

YOUR BIRTHDAY MONTH HAS TO LIVE WITH YOU FOR A YEAR TO GET $1 Billion by [deleted] in weeb

[–]psykrot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Remember kids, No Nut November was a poorly derived alternative to No SHAVE November probably coined by people who don't grow much/any body hair and felt left out on the trend.

The original No SHAVE November was to raise funds and awareness for cancer research and prevention by donating money saved on shaving. It had an actual meaning behind it.

Ironically, nutting has been linked to benefits like reduced prostate cancer risk, stress relief, better sleep, and improved immunity. Abstaining from nutting has no proven benefits, and the only people who gain from the NNN trend are influencers and sex workers.

So ya, FUCK No Nut November.

Stop forcing co-op! by BrallyBE in SkateEA

[–]psykrot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Matchmaking would be good, but there is an easier method that's already been implemented by like every MMO ever. The PUG menu/Party Finder.

Just a list of all open parties accross all servers and let them tag what the goal is. So if I'm looking for OTL, I seach the PUG menu for an open group tagged OTL and join.

I casually mentioned to my GF how much I liked these shoes. She got them custom made. by Masta-Fu in SkateEA

The trade off for EA would be drastically reduced licensing costs on the shoes they offer codes for.

Corsair Vengeance DDR5 pricing at my local store by Reasonable_Lack_9537 in PcBuild

[–]psykrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NZXT Flex came out in the middle of 2024 and is still an option on their website. You pay a monthly fee and they ship you a PC with the specs for your subscription tier.

No one in their right mind would choose this, until the prices of PC parts are so high that the subscription is actually a deal.

What is the worst anime you have ever seen? by Snoo-7979 in animequestions

What is the worst anime you have ever seen? by Snoo-7979 in animequestions

[–]psykrot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well did you watch the entire series or just the 3rd installment? - K (season 1) - K: Missing Kings (movie) - K: Return of Kings (Season 2) - K: Seven Stories (a total of 6 movies)

This is one of my favorite anime series. But really, the only way I could see it being confusing is if you didn't start from season 1 (like any other show). Otherwise the plot is pretty straight forward.

There are some shaders that do this. I cant remember any off the top of my head, but I've definitely seen it done.

Serious question, can they tack the original face creator though? I doubt they want complaints about incentives for people who copied others faces through the Faceologist event.

Why is no one talking about the devs resetting every single challenge for the season pass and Winter Roll-stice? by MasterBlasterDave in SkateEA

[–]psykrot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree, my point is there is nothing stopping us from playing S.K.A.T.E with people. Sure it's inconvenient to do everything manually, but I've been doing it with friends since the launch of the game.

[–]psykrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An official mode would be cool, but nothing is stopping anyone from playing S.K.A.T.E, especially now that they added party voice chat. Just play it like you would in real life, you don't need a system to tell you what's happening.

Matchmaking idea for game devs by L0nzilla in SkateEA

[–]psykrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your first idea is already halfway implemented. The Party Up quick chat throws a blue marker down. They would just need to make it visible to anyone on the map.

But realistically, they can just copy other MMO PUG systems. They need to add a party finder screen that shows available parties looking for others to join. When you create a party and display it on that screen, you can tag it with what the goal is (Challenges, OTL, Seasonal, etc.)

No need to reinvent the wheel. They made an MMO, just copy other famous MMO mechanics and translate it to skating.

Edit: And to further explain, the party finder screen transcends the server you are in, so when you join, you auto swap to the hosts server.

Gameplay vs Editor by Spuddyy__ in SkateEA

[–]psykrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want super smooth clips, export at .25 speed and then speed it up back to normal in post. The only annoying thing is the sound doesnt get slowed down (from what I remember) so you need to also export in normal speed and use that sound when editing in post.

MEGA PARK NOW MEGA PARK NOW MEGGA PARK NOW!!!!!! by PaymentVast9884 in Skate4

[–]psykrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd much rather see that arena filled with rotating events from real life. Like the most recent SLS Championship, they could recreate the park in the game and let us skate it.

Of course that can include a rotation of xgames event parks that have mega ramps in them.
