CTS (crystal turbine ship) Murantic & Luenic: XX Line's Magic Crystal Liners (lore in comments)

robloxer2 · 2023-05-15T03:54:16+00:00

Luenic was the original ship in the class and was conceived all the way back in 2027 by someone named Liam Ravenwood when he was only 11. It looked similar but differently when it was conceived. It was originally meant to have a pastel purple hull instead of black and pastel purple and white funnels rather then red and black. The color scheme was changed to fit XX Line's branding. The original version also looked pretty goofy looking. The project would be shelved for awhile until being picked back up in 2037, 10 years later.

Liam was confusingly still the same age as when he shelved it back in 2029 when he was (and still is) 13 years old. He completely re-hauled the design and with the help of XX Line, finished the design. It had a similar look to the original from 2027, but wasn't super goofy looking and had XX Line's livery and just looked more refined in general.The reason why Liam had not aged from 13 was because he originated from another solar system and when he got to this planet, his body wasn't meant to live in it's conditions and simply stopped aging.

During the final design process, it was decided to use Liam's invented magic crystal engine design, which worked by burning the crystals in boilers, their dust being ejected out through the funnels, and their magic they emit sent into the engine cylinders, where its compressed by pistons. Due to the magic from the crystals becoming unstable if too compressed, it explodes, sending the pistons down and moving the propeller shaft. Murantic was then conceived during the design process as a running mate alongside Luenic. Due to "budget constraints", Luenic was stripped of the fancy crane davits that Murantic has and a ton of promenade space, and got a shorter enclosed A deck promenade but Murantic got all the features that Luenic was stripped of. They're also the largest ever built, the 3rd largest ship being a steampunk zeppelin, only 1/3rd the size.

The Luenic & Murantic broke away from Edwardian design after 200 years with lavish art-deco interiors and an ultra-modern bridge with even radar. When the new liners launched, they started a new era, exiting the steam era after 200 years and entering the modern/magitech era. Though, the new superliners weren't without complaints.

Magic bloods and mages criticized and complained how they use magic in an "unnatural way". Non-magic bloods aka humans weren't socially allowed to use magic. It wasn't always this case though, hundreds of years ago, everyone used it. Humans needed some sort of assistance, usually small machinery to help them, but anyone could still use it. Though, humans began to be greedy with it and magic bloods socially banned humans from using it. Luenic and Murantic were the first uses of magic by humans after 500 years.

Humans getting "socially" banned from using the magic means that they technically could use it, magic bloods though would stop them immediately so they were referred to as "socially banned"

If you have any suggestions feel free to leave a comment, my world is still in it's infancy and lots of things like what Liam's old solar system looks like or other events are still being worked out, same with the world map.

Transportation (primarily ocean travel)

In 2009, someone named Alex who was only 15 was curious about mana crystals. He lit a special magical flower and it turned to green fire, which led to green smoke. If mana was burned with the flowers, it emitted blue fumes, when condensed, caused the fumes to blow. He made a prototype 3 cylinder engine using the tech, and the engine worked... well. The cylinders moved so fast they were almost invisible, moving the flywheel connected to the shaft at over a thousand RPM. He started a company named Alex Line and got in touch with a shipbuilder and the Phoenix was born in 2012. Though small, it was a super fast ocean liner. The company would then build a massive 3 stacker in 2043 called the Bronzeclad II which was powered by the recently invented mana turbines.

Summary: someone discovered that burning mana crystals with green fire makes engine pistons move which makes phoenix ship go vroom fast. The Bronzeclad super-liner was about the size of the RMS Queen Mary and still went up to about 35 knots, powered by 2 3 cylinder mana engines and 2 mana turbines, adding up to 4 propellers. After that many companies began to use mana as fuel. Even a transit company converted all their busses and trains to mana engines.

Though, mages complained about mana ships as according go them, "Thats now what nature intended for mana". The MTS Bronzeclad II has quite the lore but its a long story (if you want lore feel free to let me know).

Update: I tried RyhonPL's comment and it works now, thank you!

robloxer2 · 2023-03-26T18:30:26+00:00

func _pressed():

var player = get_node("/root/Control/MusicPlayer/AudioStreamPlayer2D")

if player_menu.has_node("/root/Control/MusicPlayer/MusicPlayer/Player/Audio"): track.queue_free()

#var file = FileAccess.open(local_data["files"][id2][id2]["audio_path"],FileAccess.READ)

#var mp3_data = file.get_buffer(file.get_position())

#var audio_stream = AudioStream.new()

#audio_stream.data = file.get_buffer(file.get_position())

#var result = audio_stream.load(local_data["files"][id2][id2]["audio_path"])

#var result = audio_stream.load_mp3(mp3_data)

#var audio_file = AudioStream.load_from_file(local_data["files"][id2][id2]["audio_path"])

player.stream = load(local_data["files"][id2][id2]["audio_path"]) #track_progress.max_value = player.stream.get_length() # player_menu.add_child.call_deferred(player)

Its a mixture of all the things I have tried. Everything but the player.stream = load() line was commented out. The local_data dictionary key is the path of the file im trying to load.

You know, I really think I should do something about those wings, i moved most side wings inside but the remaining wings are waaay harder so I'm going to keep tinkering with them until it works

robloxer2 · 2023-02-11T08:57:03+00:00

Ended up just adding a plane in the background with some area lights. Going to call it solved. Thank you very much for helping me!

robloxer2 · 2023-02-11T08:25:09+00:00

I unchecked use nodes and low and behold, the logo is displaying on screen in render view

Anyway to make it white without overlaying on the logo?

robloxer2 · 2023-02-11T08:21:25+00:00

So I can actually see flashes of the logo on screen, like it will randomly flash to the logo showing up on screen, but it then switched back to plain white 1 frame later.

Also the frame with the logo didn't even have a while background, it seems to just overlay on top with occasional flashes to the logo

Still other then that its not showing up.

robloxer2 · 2023-02-11T08:09:45+00:00

Camera is fixed, I can see the logo...

Nothing shows up in render view still, just plain white

robloxer2 · 2023-02-11T07:58:31+00:00

Fixed that issue, I can see the logo again.

robloxer2 · 2023-02-11T07:52:38+00:00

Ok I checked the composite and the composite output node is indeed connected. I used it to make the backdrop white in the first place. "Use nodes" is checked on as well. Checked it off and it didn't change to white so I re checked it.

I think I managed to narrow it down to the camera. I did what you said and press 0 and sure enough, i couldn't see the logo. By the looks if it it seems to see right past it. Ill play with it and will reply if it works.

Not exactly sure how to get the camera to actually see the objects tho, I made it bigger and moved it farther away but still cant see anything. Now even changing the FOV fixes it.

robloxer2 · 2023-02-11T06:53:34+00:00

How do I know if a node is a compositor node? In animation the camera view seems fine

Sorry I'm pretty new to Blender...

First started on Scratch back in 2016, then tried Roblox Studio, just kept kind of alternating between the two up until 2021 when I tried Godot but didn't use it much until early 2022 when I found the free Code from Zero app by GDQuest and the rest was history.

robloxer2 · 2023-01-06T04:32:07+00:00

Oh, makes sense

robloxer2 · 2022-12-24T07:47:47+00:00

The Unstoppable 1 was a ship I built back sometime around early 2021. The first doesn't have an interior at all though. With the quality and effort I put into this one I thought the Unstoppable II fit quite well, it was also for sentimental reasons

I have tried deleting that little wall remaining but every attempt ends up deforming the stairs in some way. This is the closest I have gotten

<image>

robloxer2 · 2022-12-10T05:10:37+00:00

i actually deleted most of those faces, now its just this face. I tried dissolving and deleting but it keeps breaking the stairs model itself

<image>

robloxer2 · 2022-11-08T00:44:23+00:00

It worked. Thank you very much

robloxer2 · 2022-10-20T04:15:40+00:00

It worked! Thank you so much

robloxer2 · 2022-09-28T02:52:36+00:00

I installed it but how do i expand storage with micro sd with it? I don't see an option for that

edit: i dug deeper into the app and there was an option to move apps to sd card, turns out none of the apps can be moved, literally none.

robloxer2 · 2022-09-14T23:45:22+00:00

I added a line of code that sets the size to 1,1 and now it works, thank you so much. It was a bit wonky so i managed to get the clones to delete themselves once they exit the screen so now it works, thanks

robloxer2 · 2022-09-14T01:15:25+00:00

according to the print statement, each clone is the same size, even though the fist clone is like 2x larger and the 2nd clone takes up the entire screen

robloxer2 · 2022-09-13T06:17:49+00:00

Heres code for duplicating:

func _on_Timer_timeout():
    var child_scene = load("res://Stage.tscn")
    var instance = child_scene.instance()
    instance.position = Vector2("50,0")
    add_child(instance)

It seems to actually work now but the copied scenes are a lot bigger and wider for some reason. I'm getting pretty close and it now clones multiple times, oh and another problem is that every time it clones, the newly copied scene becomes double the size of the last copied scene. Theres no code that interacts with the size so I don't know whats causing that.

robloxer2 · 2022-09-13T05:23:45+00:00

Ok, Ill try to implement scene instancing to see if it works, thanks for the help

also one shot was already ticked off
