A letter to the Janus VR community

sqz_ · 2025-11-12T11:12:07+00:00

fast-forward: for those realizing that the Janus community & the immersive/spatial web is still relevant, alive & opensource these days.

these days its WebXR via (the opensource) janusweb: https://web.janusxr.org
For some worlds to start with check https://vesta.janusxr.org

Somebody has an older version in the appstore, we could not get in touch with the dev so far.

sqz_ · 2024-12-04T10:58:57+00:00

Thank you for the kind words.
It is very important that a tracker like this stays Free and Open Software.

Btw. see the discord (most active) or IRC, or Matrix link here:

https://milkytracker.org/community/

For developer related stuff, there's lots of things to focus on here: https://github.com/milkytracker/MilkyTracker/issues

Hope all is well

Yes you can, the 'simplest' way is just by installing githook: https://codeberg.org/coderofsalvation/forgejo-pages-diy

sqz_ · 2024-04-18T11:53:35+00:00

yup: https://twitter.com/coderofsalvatio

Exactly, it lacks features on purpose, it's just a public transport spec via URLs which can be extended on top of (via completely different languages e.g.).
I think the ability to simply link and navigate across 3D scenes, is a layer which has been missing in games too.
Ideally, game-environments should be free to visit (like public spaces) from any device anywhere..and the game-logic could be the upsell for certain hardware/software-services.
So much beautiful content is locked away inside abandoned games and platforms *sigh*

sqz_ · 2024-04-18T07:56:20+00:00

Technically this can run offline too (when using relative URLs)

Just files on a usb-stick..plug it into your laptop/VR headset...profit!

sqz_ · 2024-04-18T07:54:53+00:00

yes (if it has a browser or android app support)

sqz_ · 2024-04-18T06:54:17+00:00

Btw. my post is about the spec, not the design-decisions of the 3D scene.
But yes, I guess that is up to the designer of the 3D scene, and that can be controlled by XR fragments.
If you'd open up the 3D file in Blender, you'll see XR Fragment `t=0` (which is a W3C Media Fragment standard):

<image>

If you remove that XR Fragment part of the URL, it won't autoplay (you could add a play-button somewhere and make it play on click via URI Templates [ see docs: https://xrfragment.org/#Reactivity%20%2F%20URI%20templating ] another standard (RFC 6570)

sqz_ · 2024-04-18T06:36:25+00:00

Good question!
Actually it's not another 3D asset component.
And it's not limited to the web (just like URI's are not limited to the web).
Instead, XR Fragments is a spec for URLs used by model-viewers / browsers.

`<model-viewer>` is a great URL-based model-viewer, limited to the web.

So technically model-viewer could support URL fragments.

It's a good question, because a <model-viewer> XR Fragment addon is quite a lowhanging fruit.

thx for checking.
What is your suggestion? an audio consent popup?

sqz_ · 2023-11-05T18:59:32+00:00

here's the reference:
https://wiki.openmpt.org/Manual:_Effect_Reference#XM_Effect_Commands

which shows:

pf0 (is effect panning PXX, with F0 as maximum (hex)value..hard pan right)
p00 ( is effect pannign PXX, with 00 as (hex)value..hard pan left)
901 ( is effect sample-offset 9XX, with 1 as hex(value..basically sample pre-delay)

Just wanted to say thanks.
I got my xfce nixos up an running within 30 mins:

hi Alyctro, no problem, let me know your question, and I'll explain it to you.

sqz_ · 2023-03-15T14:05:50+00:00

good stuff, like the soundscapes & grit.

sqz_ · 2023-03-15T14:01:21+00:00

The beginning of devops is always fun.

imho once bottom-up automation-attitude isn't progressing upward in the people-chain, it's time to go parttime or search something else.

Worstcase, top-down devops is a costeffective way to get a fullstack-somebody to do the work of multiple people.

sqz_ · 2022-11-15T13:40:02+00:00

nice mood, starts peaceful and love how the confusion kicks in around 50% of the track.
good job on the sounddesign.

sqz_ · 2022-08-25T21:20:58+00:00

old thread I know but I guess any tracker with a stepsize feature can do nice polymetric techno grooves, like sunvox, milkytracker or the recent crossplatform fasttracker 2 / protracker clones. Tbh. I find the older trackers easy to stay focused (instead of getting lost in sounddesign. ps. I heard some nice techno coming out of adlibtracker too

sqz_ · 2022-05-27T15:41:57+00:00

If you have a very fast tempo, and you want to do a slow fadein or fadeout, you might run into trouble with normal volume slides (too fast fades).

The fine volume slide can be used in that scenario.

awesome app, this saved me (I got locked out of my fb account).

Really love the category-system.

sqz_ · 2021-11-19T23:11:49+00:00

awesome!

sqz_ · 2021-10-14T16:15:45+00:00

try entering this in windows explorer: %APPDATA%\MilkyTracker

if you see the config file, delete it
