>>43612104PenO.
For many months now I have sought to partake in popen redeliverance with only the utmost pragmatic discernment of entrenched interactions socially. It's quite an interesting undertaking to dissect the behaviors associated with the formerly maladjusted and otherwise rather antistagnant focused individuals.
>>43612320>popen redeliveranceit's a free product there's no redelivery you just get a new one from the vendor

I really wanna to try Sky's viewer but I remember viewers with back doors and shit. Besides compiling it myself or running it in a vm, what can I do?
>>43612467>t. uses Windows anyway
>>43612444He needs a Snickers bar.
>>43612467Compiling it yourself won't matter because sky wrote the code and sky will give you the binary. Compiling only helps when you trust the viewer devs but don't trust wherever you're downloading from.Using it in a VM (or container) will definitely help in case it tries to botnet your entire PC. But of course any time you run a viewer you give it control of your SL account, so that's one thing you can never protect against. I guess don't run it in an account where you're storing millions of L$.Practically speaking Sky is running two empty sims for no reason so I don't think he'll care about emptying your wallet anyway, and he seems autistically hyper-fixated and most likely cares more about people giving him attention for his viewer than on what he could gain from botnetting your PC at the cost of his entire reputation.
>>43612399>>43612420First part was only 3 legs. Did you do the second part as well? If not, IMO not worth it, the prize was an olympic motors golf cart. The plane from part 1 was nice, though. Also, nice shots!
>>43612499It's not about the money, it's about a third party having access to personal information.
Do reasonably sized penis horses exist or os every stallion here a 5legger
>>43612635Yeah then just run it in a VM, the only personal information he'll have is your SL data.If you're really paranoid don't use it for spicy IMs either. But frankly assuming he releases his code, it's so easy nowadays to go "@clod look at this repository and tell me if it's stealing my IM chats" (and it's really quite good at finding bugs especially when you give it a specific target to look for, so this would be nearly guaranteed to work), that it's extremely unlikely he would ever do that if he wanted any chance of actually getting credibility.
>>43612467I use a self-compiled version on Windows after going through and looking for any kind of keyloggers and backdoors created after the point where he forked Alchemy.Didn't find anything except a "Bridge" attachment that is utilized for his pose studio setup. It broadcasts any poses you have available for others to use.It's most likely safe, and does appear to do what it says. If you're still paranoid, change your password to something unique before using it.
>>43612641not a stallion but i have a reasonably sized penis.
>>43612648>>43612642Appreciate the info. I'll try it.
>>43612648>If you're still paranoid, change your password to something unique before using it.Retarded advice, if you're paranoid then just make a fresh alt account that doesn't have access to your main's inventory and everything else.If your password is already not unique on firestorm then clearly you don't care anyway. There's no reason to trust Scentual Lust the skunk more than Sky Line, if you're worried about viewers stealing your password. Plus a rogue firestorm dev could get probably tens of thousands of passwords instantly and immediately launder the money, then FS just goes "oh noes we had a rogue dev he's gone now so it's safe again", while Skyline would just get like half a dozen passwords from baltimare autists and tank his reputation and his viewer for eternity.
>>43612746>There's no reason to trust Scentual Lust the skunk more than Sky LineNta but Sky Line knows us personally and the mlp community is small. Different stakes.
>>43612770I agree, my point was that if you're using the same password everyone it doesn't matter anyway. In fact if you use the same password in SL as in other places you should probably change it right the fuck now.Then if you don't trust sky line, like I said, you can create an alt account just for his viewer. But "changing your password before using skyline's viewer" is basically placebo.
>>43612660May I see it
>>43612860smoke signals?
>>43612420
>>43612467why do you think I made my own instead of using slipstream. i don't know sky line thus I rather just build my own vulkan based viewer.
>>43613217>just build my own vulkan based viewer.Wtf are you Darth Vader from Planet Vulcan or something
>>43612096>>/trash/

Question for the DJs / broadcasting popens:How long is the latency between what you're hearing on your PC vs what the crowd is hearing? Back when I cared about internet radio I think it was around 30 seconds. Is it still that long or could it be reduced to lets say 5 seconds?

>>43614903>ponut.party>login screenLiterally never heard of it, there are multiple board-hosted sites that just workAlso catbox is working perfectly fine. but if you are having issues with it then fair enough (it can be janky depending on your ISP I recognise that)
>>43614789I accidentally read that as degeneracy gems at first
>>43614903NTA but you're only further showing how few pony hosting services you know. Two alternatives are posted regularly in these very threads, and even more regularly in the in-game chat.
>>43614917Yeah I've wanted to let horsen know of the decency gems for like a week now but Catbox just gives me broken links, and I dont wanna use other upload sites I havn't researched. So eventually I just said fuck it lets do Imgur and tank the ensuing bullying haha
>>43614958I usually just use Catbox but it's been fucked for me lately. I'll readily admit I dont know many pony hosting services outside of ponut.party because, well, I rarely use em.That said if you wanna see that video in better quality then namedrop one!

I get that this furfag likely has no idea what Ponyville is and that their trick or treating event is about as wholesome as something can get in SL, but God can you not see it's a G rated sim and just put on a blank pony avatar or anything other than your fetish gear? Even just a generic, clothed SL human would be an upgrade from this. God I hate furries so much it's unreal.

has anyone actually noticed that sl has a certain base spookiness to it? I can't describe it. it was always slightly spooky to me. maybe it's because of the stone age builds with their weird 3d designs i saw first and the gore sims
>>43625582>vro what if OLD GAME is actually SPOOKYdo you shit your pants if you load up gm_construct in single player too?
>>43625582No but I get it, I'm pretty sure there's a term for this kind of phenomenon too but I can't remember what it is
>>43625582It might be just you, but now I'm curious. How does this place make you feel? It's an ancient build made entirely of prims.
>>43625842How the dome at the top of the tower looks like from the inside. The only things inside that aren't made of prims are the 3D bedroom painting and the popen.
>>43625842that looks okay, just the simple old 3d style.back when i joined sl years ago with no "guide" or community help the first couple sims i ended up in were decrepit and really weird. many of them were an incomplete mess with stretched textures, structures hanging in mid sky because their supporting buildings were removed. pictures of deceased people. failing scripts everywhere that kept nagging me with error messages. random tp attempts. looping background music with missing parts so it kept dropping in and out sometimes with minutes of silence in between. monumental arch ways that lead to literally nowhere. I could keep going on.the whole "liminal space" that new generations are now discovering has existed in sl for decades i guess and i am kinda surprised they haven't caught on this yet at least it looks like the mainstream completely ignores sl now despite it being le backroom paradise.
>>43625842>>43625861>prim buildingsHave their own unique charm. I also like how ponies kinda lead to a resurgence of prim buildings because many ponies have no experience in 3D software and the whole mumbojambo getting shit imported so they build their buildings and decoration for their parcels inside SL with prims. Bought items can look nice together of course. You don't build your RL home from scratch either but completely self-made SL homes do have my respect and adoration.
Is your pony "you" or is it merely the pony you remote control?
>>43626252Same question as "is you body you or merely a meat suit being controlled by a brain" - so, there's no good answer and it depends on your own feelings sometimes. Personally, the pony is me and I feel about the same about the... thing... at the controls as most normal people probably do about their brain. That is, it's necessary for the whole thing to work, but it's not "me" and I'd rather not think about it most of the time.

>Finally finish my animation>Time to upload>"All animation assets must be less than 250000 bytes. Please try again later."what?
>>43628424no and i'm mildly panicking already since I have not even an idea yet
>>43628446imagine if there weren't any limits on animation asset size. how fucking heavy ponies would be. horse seeking hud with literally hundreds of animations comes to mind.
Now, let's say, hypothetically, that I wanted to get permabanned from SL. What would be the most based way of getting LL to permaban me?Please note that saying slurs only gets you a tempban, which wouldn't be enough in this hypothetical scenario.
ai just told me that blending between two animations on the same skeleton/bones will most likely never come to sl.what do you think about this shit?
>>43628552this anon is obviously fishing for ideas to file weaponized tickets about someone else
>>43628552If they find out you do moneylaundering on SL you will get the biggest swollen throbbing banhammer.
>>43628554I didn't need AI to tell me that, I can already tell that's the case from just playing the game for long enough and seeing how the developers (don't) work on the gameI just accept it as yet another thing on the big list of SL's limitations that will never get fixed because the devs just can't be arsed to understand their own software
>>43628585well to me it says that it's not even necessarily a linden lab only issue but rather that it would be tough to run. its argument is that in other games most animations are prebaked and in sl there could be 100+ avatars each running multiple animations completely unpredictably controlled by dozens of scripts and with the current architecture this is working fine but once actual blending gets puts into the mix it would be computationally way too expensive.I'm not sure if that's true or if ai is trying to bullshit me here
>>43628552Wander the maneland and leave megaprims (larger than the 64m max size) with horsepussy as the texture in every rezzable area you can find
>>43628749Would that really get you a permaban though? The only case I heard of someone getting banned for griefing was during some 9/11 memorial incident that got a whole group wiped out.
Firecrakcr come back
>>43628799I understand diddling and actually defrauding LL are pretty good ways to get perma'd
>>43628552You need a child avatar to get permad
>>43629020Dumb piece of shit. Child avatars are all over SL.The issue is child avatars in Adult areas.
>>43629032I didn't say child avatars get you banned, I said you needed one to get perma banned. Take a child avatar to an adult place and you'll get permad, LL doesn't fuck around with that.
woh, your popen is really FAAT today, maybe FAATER than normal.
>>43628552You might think using child AVs in adult regions but you'd be WRONGHere's what you do. Sell L$ outside of the Linden website. They take that shit SUPER SERIOUSLY. It's the most common reason people I know are banned outside of underage shit.
>>43628470I think it's a limit on individual animations, you can still make a hud with hundreds of them

>>43632957Explain
>>43633198they're just salty, don't mind him because I was there participating lol
>>43632957I've heard this from someone else, I thought they were supposed to do a redo since multiple people brought forth an accusation of cheating
have we ever done research on mane colors?coat colors get talked about all the time but what about mane colors?which ones are more attractive and which ones are less?
>>43633264Most Attractive: YoursLeast Attractive: Mine
>>43632957>>43633243I literally provided video proof of no foul play to more than just you. Just because you struggled to copy the route I showed you and couldn't understand my explanation how to figure it out doesn't mean I cheated. Hell, let me render the video small enough to post, I still have the raw.
>>43632957Umbra didn't cheat tho, sorry you couldn't reproduce your leaderboard score when it mattered.
>>43632957>>43633317I had to miss the day of the event, someone give me a qrd. What did the route look like and what was suspicious about it?
>>43630726Sometimes you just know
>>43633414there was LITERALLY nothing suspicious about it. Anon is just butthurt they didn't place in the top 3, so they accuse first place of cheating. T. I was LITEARLLY there
>>43633481>what did the route look like and what are anons talking about>"THERE WAS NOTHING SUSPICOUS"Thanks for answering nothing
>>43633489there is nothing to answer, she can literally reproduce the exact footage and show you it's a whole nothing burger
>>43633522>she
>>43633231I'm not salty, I don't care about winning and i'm happy with the time I got, I just want things to be fair considering the time a lot of us spent practicing>>43633317I am not who you think I am, I just don't believe you miraculously found this new technique just before the race and after reviewing footage it looks pretty obvious to me and others have agreed, but if you can prove me wrong then please do so. Do you have a video of you showing that there are no suspicious scripts in any of your attachments?
>>43633414The tricky part of the route was an up and down dive at the ending because quite frankly, it was a very unfun part of the course and instead of doing it properly thru the alley everyone just avoided it entirely by flying over the roofs, slamming down to tag checkpoint 11 then flying back up to do the same thing with 12.You could also gain extra time by drifting into 7 so you were already in a straight line towards 8 but honestly, the whole time thing felt very arbritrary and I never felt like I could personally reproduce my own pb consistently let alone the top times which were a whole second ahead.Umbra got a 19s the day of the race which was ahead of 2nd place on leaderboard by half a second, and later got a low 20.xx run on their last lap during race, which was impressive considering all the sim and fps lag the dozens of ponies brought.Everyone ended up more or less where they were on the leaderboards prior to the race, including Umbra. Off the top of my head Umbra was 1st on leaderboard and 1st during race, Acura was 3rd on leaderboard and 3rd during race, Nixxy was 4th on leaderboard and 5th during race, so there really wasn't anything odd that stood out between leaderboards and race day imo.
>>43633522>what does the route look like>"well she can reproduce the footage that means there's nothing to see!!"Nigger, triple and quadruple nigger, the footage would probably show the fucking route which is kinda the crux of my question innit?Now you know what's not showing the fucking route, right - just telling me that the footage exists isn't showing me shite about the route, innit?So what's your fucking answer meant to accomplish then? Fucking poofter
>>43633545>>43633624>>43633640you're all retarded
>>43633638Yeah I remember the route. I thought the 20s times were crazy.Just being half a second better than the next guy is not evidence of cheating though unless the actual way she flew the route looked dodgy and anyone can actually use their words to describe what is it about it that they find dodgy (and not just "too fast lol").
So short form is>everypony saw him cheat>no video evidence of not cheating>supposed video recording of race would show things that you can't do with the restrictions of the actual race rules i.e. that there was cheating, the thing that is in contention, which is why it hasn't been posted
>>43633653UGH shut up im not retarded that's SO mean! You are dumb! I'm gonna pull out your eyebrow hairs! (this is my first post in an opg thread btw)
I ship Marj and Kuro
>>43633662It hasn't been posted yet because re-rendering the video takes time. I figured you would appreciate me rendering a full video of me showing my fly bind is unbound, and showing all my attempts to replicate it leading up to the actual 20s run.>>43633624Not showing scripts, no, but there WAS a script board up during the race and I was one of the leanest script loads on the list.>>43633624Nothing miraculous about it. I was in the top 5-10 the entire time the course was up, and I worked my ass off for hours the night before trying to figure out how Arclight got their low time. I slept, woke up early to warm up for the race, and people saw my dumbfounded reaction to the 19s run. The entire time leading up to this I was talking to people about how I didn't even care about the results of the actual race, I just was loving the back and forth between me and others trying to solve the course. The reward is just an art piece. If ponies really do have a problem with it, I'm 1000% willing to give it to 2nd place. I'm just happy we got the flight course at all.

>>43633905>several mysterious speedupslolYou'd have been way better off just saying nothing rather than literally posting proof of one thing and claiming it means the opposite
>>43633927you're genuinely retarded, like you probably should have a handler.
>>43633927>mysteriousNot mysterious, no. Advanced mode on the flight HUD uses a more realistic physics calculation. In short, there are two principles in play, here. One is converting altitude to speed, and the other is learning that the mouselook camera is disjointed from your actual center of mass, which means if you turn sharper, sooner, then correct, your momentum will carry you better through turns (including leveling off after a dive).
To the anon crying about cheating.Skill issue. Git gud.
>>43634002Ah yes just completely deflect from the issue at handNopony said anything about speeding up on dives or turning lmao there are several points where it just sharply accelerates for no reasonI really don't get why you're just doubling down
Frankly I think my main takeaway here is that cp11 was just really bad. In an event about precision flying, having to either totally kill your momentum OR do insane dolphin dives that risk hitting one of dozens of sharp roof corners sticking out and killing your run, ends up being mostly a grind for a pixel perfect last checkpoint that keeps perfect speed and not an exercise in actual momentum management and flying skills.Surely there must be a better way to add challenge that differentiates skilled fliers; I wonder if something like a narrow-ish tunnel requiring precision entry would be fun. For a while I thought cp6 required perfectly aiming for that garden archway, that could've been fun if it wasn't phantom.I really hope we get more events like this because 90% of the course was insanely fun (91.6% to be precise), but I also really hope we don't get any more checkpoints like cp11.

>>43634112My guy in the first four seconds they angle up and start accelerating while climbing for a moment before they even start the first divethen like two seconds later the momentum from the dive has been incorporated into the horizontal already and they angle the mouse up and accelerate forwards and up considerably
>>43634038Rather than complain, I’d simply just get a better time and say ez.
>>43634144do you have a different definition of up than the rest of us?
>>43634144it's less about the speed and more the sharp turns they are able to make at 7 and 11-12 while retaining momentum
>>43634207If you think that's dumb, look at this run I did earlier in the week:https://files.catbox.moe/eerhhv.webmTurns out, you CAN make the turn into the alley, it just sucks.
>>43634144I watched the video multiple times and I just don't see it. They're speeding up at the start of the video because they just did a slow climb and turn at 3:26 of the 4m long video and are now getting back up to cruising speed.I never saw any weird speed up and I practiced the course a bunch. In fact, I can tell their time save was indeed on 7 to 8 and 11 to 12 as I previously mentioned >>43633638 before they even posted the video.In fact their 10 to 11 was quite slow, and you can go over the roof entirely to slam down on 11, which they didn't, but then they gained time from 11 to 12 by not flying up as high before slamming down, instead skimming just over the roof instead.I wish I still had my own flight recordings but it is what it is.
>>43634229I actually think I saved time on 10-11 because I rode the speed from the dive down to 10 for longer instead of burning it immediately and used it to slingshot me over and down faster.
>>43634207>>43634182Sure thing UmbraThere's nothing suspicious about accelerating more in picrel than you did over the course of the entire actual dive you're right>>43634229>In fact their 10 to 11 was quite slowWell yeah because most of their cheating was in the open air since they already struggled to control at the real speeds
>>43634260>muh cheating muh cheatingYou just suck. Face the facts.
>>43633762>The reward is just an art piece. If ponies really do have a problem with it, I'm 1000% willing to give it to 2nd place.>hurr acktually I realyl won and that's what mattersYa lost niggy. Cheating doesn't change that. Hopefully your fag ass gets banned from future events so we don't have to deal with this exact same discourse again the next time you pull out the cheats
>>43634268'Anon' I wasn't even in the race. Sorry you got caught because you couldn't keep your trap shut or whatever
>>43634207Sharp turns are entirely possible with the flight hud
>>43634260you genuinely just don't understand how the flight hud works, you need to look at your life and understand how you can be so fucking stupid
>>43634316So no argument I see, as soon as the deflections onto things nopony mentioned ran out and you were called on a discreet and obvious point where there was fraudulent acceleration you just gave up and started crying
>>43633905>>43633913I'm late to the party, but I need to add to it because in the recording you're operating with completely impossible physics that don't match with what others have experienced. The sideways inertia that's normally preserved while turning is almost completely gone and what remains of it in your recording is negligible, and any speed loss that every other flyer faced during the sharper turns barely exists on your end which allows you to continue unmolested by physics. The jittery mouse corrections you do instantly triggers correction in your flight even though your momentum is supposed to be carried over longer. Any pony who's actually flown considerably on that course should be able to tell that whatever sideways inertia you should've normally preserved are somehow being redirected to exactly where your mouselook is pointed at. >3You cut through the tree even though with that angle the inertia is supposed to carry you past its trunk. There are ponies who have turned sharper, smoother, and even earlier than you and yet none of them could cut through the tree before the trunk WHILE maintaining that forward velocity. There's even a run on the HQ recording where you don't even come near the tree and instantly snap forward with the same speed.>7You turn sharp right, which would normally push you into a reasonable spline towards 8, but what you have going on oversteers you right so hard that you have to correct left multiple times on multiple runs. At 0:47 on >>43633913 it even stops mid-inertia, and pushes you forward exactly where you are looking with no loss or negligible loss in speed, while on >>43633905 you went so far right you had to correct left so hard that you came through 8 with a shallow angle.1/2
>>43634383>10-12Ponies go through them by leading their mice, predicting and turning early before you even reach the point where you can see where you're supposed to go. You do none of that and your velocity guides you where are you pointing right through even though it should've carried you away at a worse angle that would've lost you time. Your turns should look like splines but they're all bezier curves as all the momentum you're supposed to carry are being pushed towards where you're looking. And on top of that you still maintain all the speed through 11-12 even though a sharp turn as such should immediately void your velocity. You simply DON'T climb and dive and maintain all that speed with those camera movements.>>43634226Legit early run here. What made you decide between then and now that you had to cheat? Your turn at 3, and 10-11 were wide in order to preserve velocity or get you where you need to be, compare that to literally anything from your other runs. All of that inertia and momentum is now gone and you magically preserve the speed while holding impossibly sharp turns.>B-but but what ifThere have been popens in Ponyville running test runs for several days after the event. It is legitimately impossible to replicate Umbra's run because the flight system simply doesn't work like that. Arclight has a recording somewhere of her PB run and it looks nothing like what Umbra's shown. I didn't save it but I'm sure somepony else has.2/2
>>43634260Thats not cheating, just a reproduceable bug with the flight system that will happen with everyone using it, including (You), where if you press both the W and E key at the same time (which you will, because these are the only 2 keys that matter for momentum), you will accelerate a random amount for a brief moment.https://ponut.party/adept-affectionate-armednylonshrimp.mp4It only really happens when you're going slow because it's very brief, it's too unreliable to be done intentionally without being extremely obvious and Umbra could've gotten much more speed by simply divebombing into the starting line (which Ruby did allow btw)>>43634316Maybe if you were posting actual arguments instead of acting like a virtual nigger, they might.
>>43634383>>43634390Ask how I know you never played with the flight hud.
>>43634398I'm sorry you're too retarded to understand something that everybody else who uses the flight system understands, anon. I hope you get better one day, maybe even develop the ability to come up with any arguments or counterpoints.
>>43634383>>43634390It look me literal hours of nothing but testing why the dive bomb from 10-11 has you pick up so much speed when by all logic it should bleed you to basically a stop. Playing around with it, as best I could tell, the easiest way to reproduce it is to dive, then nose up and turn at the same time. You get a much smaller boost from just diving then nosing up, which is what I use to get a lot of my speed boosts on every dive that I could.Look at how I move my cam when I start the 10-11 dive bomb. That movement is what gets you the acceleration. I'm not just pointing up, then down, I'm moving it in a spiral. This is what clued me into the fact that the cam is disjointed from your body and center of mass. Imagine it like your body is tied to a string attached to your cam.I'm overturning to swing my body around more while keeping momentum. The tl;dr of it is because of the disjoint in cam vs body, if you just point where you want to go and that's it, you need to bleed speed inefficiently to "drag" your body behind you to complete the turn. You're drifting so much because you're still moving sideways. To fix this, the overturn applies more acceleration toward the center of your circle, making the turn tighter, and pre-correcting your existing speed so when you correct your orientation, your momentum is already going the right direction, so you don't have to fight it. You're swinging your body around, and because your cam isn't actually where your body's center of mass is, if you just point straight ahead, you're not actually completing your turns.Earlier video was from days earlier in the week. I basically no-lifed that course most days, and had more time running it than most people did.I can legitimately teach you how it works, if you actually want to learn how and aren't just trying to stir shit.>>43634396Not a bug, just me flying back from 3. I didn't use anything but forward and accelerate.
>>43634586Forward and accelerate are what causes it, you don't need to use anything, it happens on its own occasionally at low speeds and bumps you up to the cruising speed cap, you can just exarcebate it to ridiculous levels with a macro. It's also irrelevant because it's pre-start anyways.
>>43634647Oh right, some people have E as their jump key, eurgh. I don't think it's a bug, actually. There's definitely more to it than just press forward and accelerate. It's the same effect that I get in the video off each dive, but I'm doing those just with cam movement while holding both down, rather than what I was doing to get it before, which was letting go of accelerate just before hitting my lowest point then hitting it again after tilting cam up. More consistent than what I was doing before, too.
>>43634586I'm sorry, but you're bullshitting. You're explaining the same basic concepts that everyone else has already nailed, and then going off on a depthless explanation that only serves to try and convince the people that don't know shit about the flight system that you know what you're doing, when you could instead take the L and admit that you cheated.>Look at how I move my cam when I start the 10-11 dive bomb. That movement is what gets you the acceleration. No, it doesn't. There's no "movement" involved, you're using the flight system with an altered level of responsiveness that cancels out the actual physics part of the physics-based advanced mode. If you were using an unaltered flight system, you would've wound up too late to even get through the alley in the first place, and even if by some miracle you did you would then hit the ground. >I'm not just pointing up, then down, I'm moving it in a spiral.Is the spiral in the same room as us? You can say you just go up and then also right, as does literally everybody else, and we don't fling up like your half-assed attempt at cheating does.>I'm overturning to swing my body around more while keeping momentum.Do you think no one else is doing the same thing? You can't spout an entire paragraph of the most basic shit with overcompensating verbosity as if it was some grand reveal and act like that's what made you win. And you can't just say "while keeping momentum" because that momentum is going somewhere, and it's not straight towards where you are looking. The horizontal inertia you have to bleed off needs to go somewhere but yours just get reapplied forward. You talk like everypony else is stupid and is trying to play snake while you are not, you're just inventing a verbose over-explanation of "lead your turns" because you're not capable of explaining why your flight physics are different from ours. None of what you said can even remotely explain the difference in physics between everypony else and your earlier recording, and your latest runs.>I basically no-lifed that course most days, and had more time running it than most people did.And once again, is it because nobody else did? There have been people battling for podium since day 1 of the course daily for many hours at a time, chipping at each other with gradual improvements of less than a second nearly daily until it plateau'd on the second to last day, and you mean to tell everyone involved that you suddenly went from some higher 21 seconds to 19 seconds thirty minutes before the event started after being absent for the day? Nothing in what you're saying explains why your flight system flies differently than ours, why you can make inertia-cancelling turns without losing speed with the same mouse movement as everypony else.
>>43634823So it's been brought to my attention that you probably are having a hard time reading my movements because I use a high FoV that I'm used to playing hoofball on. I am leading my turns like everyone else. I am drifting like everyone else. I'm also taking wider turns than others do. I take 3 from the far side of the bridge and turn into the underside, which drifts me around the corner, and I keep turning my cam through the turn. On 7, you can see me look left before I look right so I take the corner a little wider and swing myself around more drastically. I still drift. I just counteract it with more exaggerated turns.And like I said, I was always within the top 5-10 all week, doing the same improvements. When I said I no-lifed the course, I don't mean I spent a few hours every day, I mean I spent upwards of 12 hours on it a number of days. I also didn't skip the last day before the race. I kept at the course late, late into the night, much later than I should have, actually.And I am genuinely offering to teach you how it works, mare to mare, for the record.
>>43628446Wow, even slightly below 256 kb. Insane.Kind of a tip (though I haven't specifically done animations in Blender yet, but I know CS concepts), I think you are also limited by the duration of the animation being 60 secs, too. But anyway, the thing adding up data in the animation file is just keyframes. It's not the "animation speed", cause that would just be a value. Maybe try reducing the amount of keyframes by like 1/8th or 1/16, then mess with the animation speed/FPS, letting some keyframes naturally interpolate/tween themselves between each other and you might still have something that looks fine. Like, uhhh... how big is your animation file already?
>>43633317your video literally proves you cheated nigger, the turns you made are impossible and would lose you all your momentum, resulting in you getting at BEST 25s~ run, but you somehow, magically, after not changing your record or being seen training in ponyville for the past three days, bring down your record from 21.60s~ to 19.84s~ on your FIRST try 30 minutes before the raceWow! Great! Just 1.74s difference! that's not that much now! Must have been stroke of a luck thing! No. No it wasn't and anyone who has ever gotten below 23s~ in the race or participated in any sort of speedrunning would understand the tinniest nuance that goes into cutting off every millisecond from the run to even reach the 20s mark, it needs unbelievable amounts of precision that you can only get from experience of playing the course over and over again for hours at the time, even a few degrees of turning more than you should could lose you too much speed setting you back an entire half a second, but, despite those details, you somehow, like a stupid retarded troglodyte, post a video of you comitting every single one of those mistakes, with movement thats too fast and crisp, able to instantenously respond to slightest mouseview movements as if an outside force is pushing you in the direction you're looking at, and the ability to not lose speed at all when doing extremely sharp rookie turns, which is egragious in the eyes of anyone who has invested some time in the course.but thats not the worst! your explanation for why you magically got TWO best records in a span of less than an hour despite being stuck on the 21.5s~ mark and not been seen on the course for days, is even more unbelievably stupid!!! it seems that every participant was doing it wrong! we werent divebombing our pegas to maintain speed (????), its all about leaning into your turn so you dont lose speed! its obvious! (???????) you like, have to totally put some force in your mouse movement, thats how i stayed fast (????????????). it was quite hilarious seeing you pull out these esoteric explanations out of your ass as if anyone would take them seriously instead of treating you as a deformed, barely functional, retarded child.not to mention the fact that somepony replicated the script you used and achieved the same results on video, while also recording the exact movements you made without the script, failing miserably, watching them back to back is obvious proof enough for anyone, and the only reason you got away with it is because no one, especially the host of the event, wanted to start shit over a tiny fun event that you decided to ruin for everypony involvedyou're especially low iq if you think most of the ponies involved think you played fair, but i guess abusing your friends trust about it would feed your ego enough for that

>immediate samefaggingCan you at least get a friend to defend your honor when you cheat or something this is pathetic
>>43635203I highly doubt it's the keyframes on an IK that's causing the bloat. All keys are baked into the skeleton on export so in effect, the animation has keys on ALL frames. The animation is 17 seconds long, anyway.

I have no stake in the discussion. I just like seeing birdbrains being severely autistic about their birdbrain activities.
>>43635743I'm almost certain the one really mad is either Arclight or Acura. Which in Arclight's case is funnier because he's a hornhead.
>>43635725I watched both Umbra's video and yours with the script side by side, and the only part that actually matches is 7 to 8. There's a lot of fluidity from 9 to 10 and you can see the slingshot effect from the flight hud, while yours feels like it's just a constant push from behind.2 to 3, 3 to 4, 5 to 6 and 10 to 11, 12 are specially egregious because it looks completely mechanical while theirs is a lot more natural.If Umbra used a script, it most certainly wasn't the one displayed in the video.
>>43635397So, tool assisted?
>>43635643Earth ponies are too busy frotting each other to fight
>>43635773who do you think you're fooling umbra, keep pulling shit out of your ass>slingshot effectlmao, made up nonsense by the derangedalso i like how you completely ignore the fact that the movement in both of the vids is literally impossible without the use of a script, entirely unnatural, but felt the need to lie about umbras run being somehow natural, despite a video replicating exact same moves without a script showing the contraryi guess the baseline measurement for what looks natural is umbra doing the run... weird huh...
>>43635792Anon, everyone who disagrees with you isn't Umbra. You're fighting ghosts.
>>43635792I'm not Umbra and I just don't see it, dude. I'm sorry.Everything I saw in their video is just things I was doing myself throughout the whole week, I just couldn't do it all in one go to get a good time and choked during the race.If Umbra did cheat, it wasn't with that method in the video you posted, that's all. You could argue maybe they had it on toggle and only used during turns, but at that point it starts getting schizo
>>43635803still not addressing the video without the script replicating all those moves, also, what was your time if you did the EXACT same things as umbra? (something umbra quoted as hidden mechanics she found out after hours of practice which no other pony that got 20s mark replicated or figured out despite the effort they put in) because every single pony that got 20s mark entirely agree that she did cheat
>>43635815Arclight, that you?
>>43635815Low 21.xx. I could never break the top 3 myself, kept choking on 10-11-12 which I blame on ping.Your video without the script is disingenuous honestly, your turn into 2 for example is super late, and the turn in Umbra's video is something I was doing myself consistently.All Second Life movement is server side, meaning that someone with a higher ping (such as me) actually has to turn earlier, while someone closer to the Oregon AWS has a less drifty feeling flight system, simply because it reacts faster. The system is the same, but the input delay causes a huge difference.
This faggoty drama reminds me of when snorm lost the plot at aru for beating their score since they couldn't replicate it or beat it. Some fags don't like to lose...
>>43635842>they couldn't replicate it or beat it. Some fags don't like to lose...But 'anon' ponies using the same scripts as Umbra thrashed their time
>>43635697Crazy to think that SL would not allow a 17s animation if it's above 250 kb. I mean honestly, people shouldn't be using the internet at less than 20 mbps download these days. I mean even 4 MB would be 10 times more reasonable. I would still make it even higher.And yeah, also the fact that they don't allow 44.1 KHz audio (yeah I know, separate issue) is pretty dumb. I get the whole reasoning be hind restricting the duration and keeping it mono at least.
>>43635764>>43635820No, I just woke up. Thanks for the blame game nonetheless.
>>43635841so despite never breaching 20s mark, and doing exact things that umbra did, the same tiny mistakes, that lose you milliseconds of time, you pretend that your time somehow validates, instead of invalidating umbras run? and its not my run, talk about ghosts lmao, its just a video that arclight shared (i could show henneseys run with it but its less consistent with umbras turns), anyway its disingenuous to say that, despite umbra doing the turn really late, its the same run you would do (which i mean you probably do, given you're losing speed doing it so drastically, hence why you were stuck at 21.xx) when in practice you HAVE to do it a lot earlier and slowly curve it to maintain as much of the momentum as possible, instead of doing it ludicrously fast and lateand no, ping barely affects how much momentum you lose, quite frankly a ludicrous suggestion
>>43635853did you at least end up recording those videos?
>>43635860And then some. I've probably about several hours' worth of continuous recording with and without the vibecoded script that I ran tests in Ponyville with. For a few days after the event I pretty much spent all my time in Ponyville trying to get a better time and then trying to replicate their line and then trying to understand why it couldn't and how it could, which led to the makeshift script.
>>43635858I never said ping affects momentum, just said it will affect how you perceive the video since the higher the ping the earlier they gotta turn, which might make it seem like they're doing sharp turns into walls when in fact they're not.I'm just saying there's other reasons why it might look like cheating that don't actually involve cheating.If your ping is too different from someone you simply cannot replicate their flight path from their pov because, as I said, second life movement is server side. You can easily test this by having an american and an european do a simple cone zig zag while running and recording, and you will see the difference yourself.
>Arclight has a recording somewhere of her PB run and it looks nothing like what Umbra's shownhttps://u.pone.rs/ftxmnyuo.mp4>>43635879Ping frankly seems trivial at best, I had the chance to see some Americans' laps through recordings and none it ever really matched the speedy point-and-go aspect of Butterfly's run throughout. I still think that level of swiftness in turning is unachievable without some exterior tool or script thing however.
>>43635879i dont think you understand what you're talking about, or rather you dont understand the fact that turning too fast, which is a problem regardless of ping, is the problem here, given it should realistically make umbra lose speed, but somehow it does notits not about her being able to do those turns, ANYONE can turn like that, the problem is that she doesnt lose speed while doing them, is that really so hard to get? as an example, you'd need to start turning right before you reach the second bridge to maintain speed as much as possible, instead of doing it in the middle of it when you've already hit the 3rd checkpoint, because the resulting turn would be too fast, which would result in a loss of speedAND yes, ping would not affect that, it would only affect when you start turning for that by your logic, while the resulting turn would stay the same
7-8 turn is impossible, oversteering into it while keeping momentum is a comical parody of the the physics you would have normally.Also 3 has nowhere near enough momentum, I don't remember testing much else because I was satisfied with that

>>43635972Then maybe the person who cheated is a tryhard too. I have no horse in this race, but whatever it is, it's dominated the thread for a while. If you have hard evidence you should probably bring it up with the event runner, because fuck knows the person you're accusing doesn't seem to be backing down.>>43635963People do bring up silly conversational topics when they think things are quiet, you knowHave you ever caught yourself saying popen instead of pony, in non-OP contexts?Do you believe a canon popen should look as close to the original as possible, or are things like fluff, makeup, and exaggerated body sliders permissible?Does your popen fit into the story of Equestria somewhere, or are they just an avatar?
>>43636002
>>43635909>>43635914>>43635947I think they had more to lose by cheating than they had to gain honestly, but I'll concede this is beyond my skill at this point.>>43636010I love the dress up aspect of SL, but at the same time limitation does breed creativity. As long as it's not those hideous gooner bait ponies with cellulitis legs, bimbo lips and that retarded "cute" stare from the ExpHud, it's fine by me.
>>43634396This is an issue with lag compensation somehow. It happens more often on laggy connections or slower sims with lots of avatars and complex environments (like baltimare).If it happens at the perfect time it can be incredibly powerful but it's also almost impossible to control and it's pretty random. As you noticed it happens more often at low speeds, I'm guessing it's because the hud applies forces to your avatar to accelerate and so if there's a lag spike the sim server might overcompensate by summing up all the force applied while it was lagging all at once, while maybe when you're already fast the hud doesn't strongly apply forces unless you're turning/accelerating? Just spitballing here though. Anyway it's nearly impossible to use intentionally in a run, and what Umbra's doing looks a lot more controlled than that bug.
>>43635947This and anypony saying it's all because BF was just able to "string together perfect sectors into a whole run" is kidding themselves.After the event, we actually had sector times from the individual checkpoints. No matter what I did, I would lose about a second in time from 3-8 (cutting out all the variability from before and crucially all the variability from the tricky 10-12).You can try to do the 180 degree turns smoothly (not like BF's run) and maintain as much speed as possible. Or, you can try to flick your camera straight from 3 onto 4 and 7 onto 8. You'll quickly find the latter is *slower* because, for anyone not cheating, it will bleed off so much more speed that you lose time on the following straights.But yes, sure. Popens can go from high 21s down to sub 20s over night. In an unreproducible manner. At a point where everypony is scraping for tenths at best.
>>43635697>All keys are baked into the skeleton on export so in effect, the animation has keys on ALL frames.I'm not sure if that's true. It would be a really dumb way to save an animation format. And I'm pretty sure I've seen animations longer than 17 seconds.Though I might be imagining them, I could be wrong but it'd be really surprising to me if that was how it worked.
>>43636073The cock worship animation on the bed is longer than that.Or so I hear.
>>43635764And so's AcuraAnd Umbra's a bug (also a type of hornhead)Maybe the PEGASUS event should've been gatekept to PEGASI to begin with to avoid this kind of outside faggotry!
>>43636167everyone should be allowed to make exactly ONE pony
Should have allowed earth ponies, and they just have to jump and run to the rings.I don't care care if they lose it would just be funny seeing them try.

>>43634137wtf is that robo
Just wanna weigh in saying that being OVERLY autistic/competitive in fucking Second Life is like slapping a huge "I'm a retard" sign on your forehead. Second Life is probably THE virtual world with the wonkiest fucking physics, random lags and overall irregularities. Even with absolutely no cheating fuckery involved it could either turn you into a winner or permanently actively fight against you simply because it's a wonky ass pile of literal decades old noodle code propped up by bandaid fixes. In most cases of "skill" competitions in SL the biggest part is simply luck. If you absolutely need your competition thrills then just drag others into other games where that is actually RELIABLY possible. In SL, the only way to enjoy these types of competitions is by getting your enjoyment out of the whole event itself. Taking part, seeing the ponies do stuff, the silly stuff happening all around them. If winning is literally the only thing that makes you happy then oh boy will SL fuck with your psyche/autism. If you win it should be a bonus, not the only thing to enjoy about those events. If you catch someone cheating, push their shit in a bit and move on after that. If they keep pulling shit, roll your eyes and don't let it ruin your day. Also, if you legitimately keep losing it shouldn't really matter anyway if, again, you just enjoy doing stuff together with ponies.

Slipstream's room acoustics feature is really cool. Also featuring raytraced reflections without the need to enable mirrors. https://u.pone.rs/wyptzypg.mp4
>>43637759>mufflingYESYESPlease also muffle depending on the distance! This would be a fucking literal gamechanger
>>43637759Please tell me it still has the usual doppler?
Tapping into the sound deficiencies of Second Life is actually a really clever move. In that area SL is lacking so fucking hard with seemingly "simple" things. If he can pull off somehow introducing simple sound pitching capabilities (scripts controlling the pitch of the sample currently being played or LOOPED - for example for engine noises) it would really impress me.
>>43637805There's likely some limitations due to lack of server support, but he's also already added a bridge that allows posers to work across Slipstream instances without server support. So it might well be possible.The fact that it might be viewer-locked may even be an advantage here as more people are motivated to switch to not just use the features, but see/hear them too. Normally it sounds like a scummy vendor locking feature but here it may likely be literally necessary.
>>43637759Is this path traced sound?
>>43637838Yeah that's what I meant with clever. Sound in SL is like a vast field that is still nearly completely untilled and could relatively quickly grow so many tasty fruits. If he goes all in with that it could be a true killerfeature(-set) that would make a TON of people switch to his viewer, no fucking doubt.
>>43637879i still find it funny how they go through all the hoops of somehow making this giant clusterfuck work on mobile phones or even for a moment checked if they could turn it into a VR thing before having really basic sound features like the previously mentioned sound pitching or muffling
>>43637868Yes, raytraced sound. At least in my GPU (a RX 7600), the performance impact of leaving it on is pretty much unnoticeable.>>43637799I haven't tested Doppler yet, but from what Sky told me the system simply uses SL's cheap implementation of it (pitching sounds up and down according to their speed relative to the camera).>>43637805Pretty sure the viewer can only affect things that happen viewer-side. Scripts are server-side.
>>43637759Imagine the realistically ray traced flutterscreams falling down an elevator shaft
>>43637899That is fucking sick, for a game like SL that is a life changing feature
>>43637625Beautiful picture, love the little details like the rainbow.>Remember to NOT drop earthies from high placesHell be fine, earth ponies are DURABLE.
>>43637899>Pretty sure the viewer can only affect things that happen viewer-side. Scripts are server-side.RLV is client side, so it can be done. But it's certainly a very niche way to do things.
>>43637945>But it's certainly a very niche way to do things.Aren't we all used to hacky ways by now after using SL for years...
>>43638116river oak
>>43637805I've been thinking on this one, and it may be doable. The script would need to send information to the viewer about which sound it wants controlled this way, which is doable over the LSL bridge. I haven't fully thought it through yet, but it is something I'd like to do. Working on weather today, will be in the next beta.

>>43638198>windMy heart melted from the vision I just had in my head of ponies getting pushed around with wind noises.Didn't LL work on weather a while ago? Wind impact would have to be occluded inside houses of course so I guess no simple task. And yes I know wind in that screenshot refers to how the rain/snow will behave mid flight... Just wonder if SL will have real wind some time
>>43638292SL does have wind but it only affects flexiprims

>>43638292SL has wind but it's a bit shitty, I do intend to interface with it though. My plan is to have a system that can share weather between viewers much the same that Pose Studio shares poses between viewers right now in Slipstream.

If it whipped around and created small moment-to-moment variations then it might actually be useful. As it stands you can't even use it sensibly for flags, the one thing you might want to use it for.>>43638463I am begging you not to create a bunch of stuff that relies wholly on the viewer to create a user experience. Scripting/designing shared user experiences will basically be impossible. (Posers etc are different, as these exist to create a screenshot for the most part.)
>>43638741>I am begging you not to create a bunch of stuff that relies wholly on the viewer to create a user experience.Not him and I 100% understand your point, kinda feel the same but overall have mixed feelings.Fact is, LL's priorities are completely elsewhere and apparently they also let go one of their most productive devs so it feels like literally nothing has been happening at LL for the past 2 years or so after a really short period of huge rapid succession improvements. On the viewer side of things there have been quite some improvements but it seems like no one really tried new things. While I support yours and (in part) my view that fragmenting the crowd in one side seeing/experiencing things that the other side can't is fucking horrible on the other side I really really want to have someone kinda kicking those other's butts delivering features people have been begging for for YEARS even in hacky ways to make a point.How many times have you've seen feature requests that got massive uboats by big crowds that just got completely forgotten by LL after dropping the usual copy&paste message by one of their jannies? A great example would be the gamepad support. It was 99% ready, they put the feature tag to "In Progress" and suddenly for whatever reason (probably because mobile viewer is more important) LL shifted focus AGAIN and degraded the tag back to "Planned" and forgot about it. It seems like fuck all is happening at LL as if they're just back to coasting on their last remaining boomer bucks AGAIN and people are fucking sick of that shit after witnessing years of that in the 2010s.So yeah, I don't like the idea of viewers having too differing experiences which has the potential to fuck with the community experience ("did you see that?" "what do you mean? sorry I'm not using viewer x, I'm on y!") but I DO like the idea of a viewer showcasing what could be possible and potentially making enough people jump on it so LL MAY finally get the idea and standardize the features finally.
>>43638867>they put the feature tag to "In Progress" and suddenly for whatever reason (probably because mobile viewer is more important) LL shifted focus AGAIN and degraded the tag back to "Planned" and forgot about it.was probably being developed by the only dev they still had at that point keksame timeframe of that departure
>>43638867This sums up my feelings well. Sky or whoever else might create the most deluxe, amazing, feature-packed, revolutionary SL viewer ever, but the experience of using it will ultimately be largely defined by SL itself, and its server-side features, performance and shortcomings. No matter how polished a viewer can get, at the end of the day the viewer will always be polishing a turd.
>>43638991Exactly and my hope is that this viewer might get things rolling when more people try it and then really don't want to miss those features again.I hope Sky is fine with other viewers eventually implementing features he put in first. The end goal should be LL getting that stuff officially in with no hacky workarounds so everyone can have the same experience again but with features that were missing for decades
>>43639057Considering RLV still isn't part of the main viewer, I really do not think this is the path forward
>>43638741>I am begging you not to create a bunch of stuff that relies wholly on the viewer to create a user experience.The thing is there are features that are basically impossible to add cross-viewer without, again, direct support from LL for it. Without LL adding server-side weather for example, it can only ever be something the viewer adds on its own.But what the viewer can do is interface through its LSL bridge to share some measure of information with other viewers, outside of the standard LL protocol.So, while normally I hate vendor lock-in, in this case pioneering your own protocols to add features independently of LL is the only possible way most of those features could ever be added at all. The choice is not "lock the weather feature to slipstream vs. make it work everywhere", the choice is "don't add a weather feature, or make a local-only weather feature for photos, or let slipstream viewers share settings so you can at least share your weather with other people using the same viewer".It's basically the exact same thing as the poser, actually. Without this bridge integration, weather would also be purely a photo feature. The entire reason you think of posers as a photo feature is actually exactly because existing viewers keep it local-only. In reality shared posting would be super fucking useful for cuddles for example, and SS adding it to its LSL bridge makes this a reality now, exclusively for SS viewers.The other thing is that if the protocol is well specified, it's not "locked" to SS, since other viewers could theoretically add support too if they wanted. In fact this is exactly how RLV works: one autist added bondage features to his viewer using a custom script protocol, and now almost every viewer implements the same features, with zero support from LL themselves or sim servers.So it's not so much viewer-exclusive features, as it's just new features that the standard viewer doesn't support yet. And I'd rather have them in SS now, and maybe later in FS and everywhere else or maybe not who knows, than just not have them at all ever. Because LL is definitely not adding anything good any time soon, so just adding stuff in the viewer is literally the only option we have.
>>43639065Almost nobody cares about or uses the standard viewer. If anything Firestorm, and maybe Alchemy, are the only two viewers worth caring about.And I don't know about you but I think RLV existing is very nice (at least for the people who want to use it), and "oh LL would never add that feature to their servers so it's a failure" simply doesn't make sense to me as an argument. I can play SL and I can use RLV, reliably, and other ponies can also use RLV and we can interface with each other. It works. It doesn't matter to me that OFFICIALLY it doesn't exist and the servers don't support it and it's akshually just a viewer-side feature; it literally doesn't change anything about how I, as a user, use or enjoy it.The only issue with RLV is that the protocol is pretty fucking ass, but that's an implementation issue, not a conceptual one. Sky just has to make his bridge protocols not ass.
>>43639072I just don't think it's worth driving wedges between shared experiencesMost people are not here because we expect technical wizardry of a 23-year-old platform, we're here to communicate with people. Anything that breaks up the experience is kind of losing the plot
>>43639150But again, you can just not use the feature if you don't want to. If you're not here for technical wizardry and you don't care for rain effects, then this doesn't affect you at all. But anyone who DOES want to see pretty rain in their pony city, can then choose to see it.Much like RLV, again, if you don't care for the fetish shit you can just disable it and/or even use the stock LL viewer if you're insane. But for those that want it, it's there.And I'd rather people complain that FS doesn't support the weather effects and then FS devs add support for it, than nobody ever get to see them because baby ducks refuse to use any other viewer while at the same time not wanting to miss our on features from other viewers.It's not like everyone even uses the same windlight, anyway. IMO having a shared day-night cycle is way more important than being able to see shared experimental rain, but even that isn't shared by all ponies since many just use a custom environment rather than using the sim one.
>>43639171There's a difference between changing a windlight and using an entirely different programWhy are you always like this, you get an idea in your head and you can't admit any kind of fault with it
>>43639216No, I'm saying, people already don't care about consistency enough to bother to use the default sim windlight, and instead just use whatever and desync their day night cycle.Anyway, when faced with the prospect of new features actually happening in spite of LL doing their best to do absolutely nothing, your instinct is not to hope that other viewers also pick it up and we actually get cool features but rather to go "nooo other people shouldn't be allowed to have what I don't have!"? If you really cared so much you could just use Slipstream, and if you don't want to and don't care about lobbying for FS/Alchemy to add it too then you shouldn't have a problem with those who do care about the feature getting to use it.>spoilerI'm not Sky, I'm not even using Slipstream yet. I'm waiting for other people to beta-test the vibe-coded viewer. But I'm excited about what's being added, and I'm looking forward to probably switching to it in a couple of months once enough people have used it that it's clear that it's stable and reliable
>>43639251>I'm waiting for other people to beta-test the vibe-coded viewer.kek'd because basically me
>SPOOKIEST THING I CAN THINK OFHAS ANYPONY EVER SEEN OR HEARD A NOHOOVES USE POPEN TTS??? HOLY FUCK I'M SHAKING RN JUST THINKING ABOUT IT
everyone who used the flight hud in the race was cheatingyou can complete the course perfectly fine on hoof, therefore your time is invalid if you didnt run the whole way
>>43639057My hope is that every viewer pulls in my features, in fact I'd like a standardized LSL API for things like weather, posing, etc. It would be best for the community if every viewer got these features, so no one is left out. Maybe if Slipstream gets enough traction, LL will finally realize that the reason they bleed players is their tech has stagnated for years, and they need to do something about it, such as making the official viewer better (and fixing their cluster fuck simulator code).
>>43639419some viewers might adopt but you'll never get the Black Dragon dev to implement anything fun or useful
>>43639419I honestly believe that at this point, if they vibeslopped themselves a proper test harness and then started vibeslopping features, SL would be improved.But they come off as the kind of tech company that will continue developing with like a kanban-waterfall model and individual low-paid devs grabbing tickets off of jira and taking 8 business days to do the simplest shit, as long as the cash from the 2000% markup AWS server space keeps flowing. And if it ever stops they'll just fold and bankrupt.
>>43639425Nobody uses black dragon for gameplay. In fact I don't know anybody who bothers with black dragon at all anymore ever since the PBR update, since the default firestorm renderer combined with reshade is just good enough for excellent looking photos.And hell Slipstream's renderer is probably even better than anything BD can do since the completely rebuilt renderer was the first selling point of the viewer.
>>43639430>continue developingThey fired that guy, sorry
>>43639438They still have developers (like the guy who came to Baltimare and upgraded us to Snack Sugarcube for example)They just maybe don't have good developers or productive ones. But that's what I mean
>>43639434i dont understand reshade and i log in with BD when i want to take pictures it just looks good with basicaly no erffort
>>43639463See, even you "lo in with BD when you want to take pictures", you don't actually use it as a viewer to play in.
>>43639403This happens every time *I* switch to nohooves but don't disable my pony gestures and it feels just as wrong as it sounds
>>43639425I used BD for gameplay for a long time because Firestorm was really unstable on my machine and BD was the only other one that got decent framerate
>>43639481meant to reply to >>43639434
faaaaatto
>>43639425>but you'll never get the Black Dragon dev to implement anything fun or usefulthat's fine because literally no one is using black dildo anymore in 2026. most other viewers have caught up graphically so no need to use that smug dick's crap anymore

>>43631905Didn't Sky say he didn't want it linked around yet?
>>43639525We need more mares this big.
>>43639634I'm not talking about server lag, the thing that multiple HUDs full of scripts contribute to worsening. I'm talking about viewer frame rate. Others' HUDs should contribute nothing to it, since the viewer doesn't render them.

>>43638867Knowing Sky Line just a bit, I've considered that he'll work on it for a while, might get burnt out on the project, or fed up with people begging for features and work or something else he's interested in.Because let me tell you, working on a viewer is no small task. It really does take many pairs of eyes and brains and a team to cover all your bases and tackle the more specialized features (like RLV) that some people might have more experience in wanting it to work a particular way.It's going to be a hard road towards saying, "Slipstream is now an official SL viewer" or "Sl wants to implement features from the viewer server-side". I mean, that would totally be an accomplishment, and it's also a realistic goal, but the cost would be the continued, added pressure of making the viewer constantly better and better. And while I think the end result will be something positive, if Sky Line decided he doesn't want to work on it anymore or can't, then somepony else has to take the reins, or it'll be left to die like every other deprecated third-party viewer. That's my whole issue with this entire thing.
>>43639403Happens on Azi Games sometimes from faggots that switch from popen to human/anthro avatar. I mean it is by Mare's Nest, so what do you expect? lulShould I namedrop? Probably not.

>>43638198incredibly minor thing but (only you see it) is a very retarded way of saying (local)Please don't do this to us
>>43640404>working on a viewer is no small task.Under normal circumstances but with the AI sloppening the situation is completely different. Yes, long term maintaining a whole viewer even with AI help would still be quite some work but the initial tinkering and adding new features with AI help is probably feels like taking drugs right now. If you have a tiny bit of programming knowledge you suddenly feel like a fucking god on steroids, it's even stronger the more skills you actually ahve. I assume he's feeling that rush right now. >It's going to be a hard road towards saying, "Slipstream is now an official SL viewer"I doubt that this is his goal and even a couple posts up he hinted what he wants to do withthis. In my opinion he actually won "the game" the moment some of the things he implemented in his viewer first get also implemented in the others and yes, the biggest win would be the Lindens standardizing some of them. If he reached that goal I think he could just retire Slipstream IN CASE he got bored with it at that point. I say Slipstream's purpose should be spearheading things and get shit rolling. If he continues having fun with this he could position Slipstream as some kinda "bleeding edge" technology viewer that will be known to test brand new techniques and pushing boundaries. That could be his viewer's niche. So people would use it for shiny new features even when shit may be a bit buggy. Kinda like in the automotive world some people buy the expensive luxury brand for brand new technology while others rather buy from their sub-brands if they rather want reliability.

>>43641115My only goal in making Slipstream is to make a nice viewer for myself, and anyone who decides to use it. Having other viewers pick up my features would be cool because it makes SL as a whole better. Also, I've mentioned a few times before, but I'll mention again, I am an actual SWE who has been doing shit for a decade. Claude ofc makes shit a lot faster and helps get shit out the door quicker, which is a godsend, but I've built a vulkan renderer on my own before, around 2021 iirc, and I work a day job as an SWE (from home, which helps let me work on Slipstream in parallel)

>>43641081So you'd prefer>Local weather (local)?
>>43641216Local weather (client side) would be the better way to say it but I think (only you see it) is fine.The problem is "local" is ambiguous cause it can mean "only you see it" or "weather in your current location".
>>43641115>Under normal circumstances but with the AI sloppening the situation is completely different.Not at the moment. Currently, AIs are excellent at working on a focused task, but maintaining is the precise opposite of that: it's a very broad requirement of "uhh keep it up to date and make sure it doesn't break".There's a reason there's a ton of vibeslopped projects out there that were built in literally 1-2 days and let you do some fantastic thing, but then the author never commits again and if there's any bugs they never get fixed or if any updates are required they never come.If you actually set out to maintain a project, using AI to do so does make it easier, but the maintenance responsibility is still on you.

Anyone remembers what stuffs sold in this store? The owner has left SL.The store is Safeguard Shipping Co. : https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/182288
>>43641266no idea
>>43641266I dunno. I'm going to assume by the name it's GTFO related stuff? If it's nohooves stuff, it's no big loss to me, personally.
>>43641266That store was owned by the owners of the Mineral Ridge sim, they had the intention to make stuff for the open pony and only really made one or two things before they quit SL to focus on real life. One of the items they made is eye bags for the OP, iirc they mainly made stuff for the magik pony as they were around during the time that was popular.
>>43641296Anon, that store is in the list of vendors with Open Pony goods at line 35
>>43641229Fewer words? This is Claude we're talking about!"Weather. Control rain, snow, popen moisture. Storms stay on your client."
>>43641299>One of the items they made is eye bags for the OPFINALLY ITS GONE FOREVERFINALLY WE'LL BE FREE (OF EYEBAGS)
>>43641266Eye bags, eyelashes, some socks and sandals and probably something else
>>43641344>popen moisture
>>43641221client side sounds perfect but>>43641216>Local weather (local)makes me laugh so this
>>43641194That's actually the past, it's an old video and shows what was possible before. Maybe we'll get a comparison video with the new tech...
Popen store listmaker here. This post >>43641314 compels me to finally update it. What updates would you like? I plan to categorize and organize the shops. What categories would you like to see? Are there any other details you would like included? I can't promise it will get done quickly, but I will do my best.
why is no one responding to my threadshitting anymore? please give me attention :(

Weather is out in the latest beta (still a bit jank).
This is what happens when you let a unicorn do a Pegasus's job. Winter in October?

looking through the marketplace has become SUCH a choregod I just wanna find furniture and there's SO MUCH AI SLOPI have a custom filter for ublock that I can add store names to and it removes them from my results and picrel is an idea of what that looks like for me with all the stores I've added to the listffs I just want some props for a build, why are 80% of results the ugliest chatgpt gens with the same fucking 3 fonts every time https://u.pone.rs/hykuwigf.png(I didn't crop that middle one on the bottom row, that's the state it is on their fucking store)
>>43641609Middle Aged/GenX/Boomers have been completely one shot by AI. They love that shit.
>>43641626anon I'm middle-aged and the slop makes me want to puke
>>43641633woman moment
>>43641522Oh wait, the snow actually works by looking at the object orientation so it's like a snow shader? That's clever
>>43641626More like the recent MP change near completely wiped over 20 years worth of content and what remains is mostly nu-slop
>>43641626So does anyone claiming they can't afford a graphic designer, but they own a sim (or have rented more than 5 stalls that lasts for a year) as their in-world store.Fucking filthy cheapskates.
Speaking about AI slop>Whirly Fizzle, an active Firestorm support service and the one that grants the title "Crashy Pants" to Polaris, upvoted about marketplace policy regarding AI contenthttps://feedback.secondlife.com/web-features/p/add-marketplace-policy-regarding-ai-generated-content>>43641609I hope this feedback be heardhttps://feedback.secondlife.com/web-features/p/add-do-not-show-ai-generated-filter-on-marketplace

>>43641691graphic design in SL aint even hardI would literally prefer they just take a picture of their product and put all the descriptive text in the description box on the listingunironically slop ads sell their product less, as the ublock filter the other anon mentioned is passed around with a list of well known stores that use slop already in it, and every time I see it get passed around again there's more names in it
>>43641742Where do i find the list
>>43641802I've seen it around some sites and discord servers but I can give you minethis is the import for ublockI will admit that one name in here is just a furfag creator who was spamming shitty mods and I wanted them out of my results, but I do not remember which one. all others had slop in their storesmarketplace.secondlife.com##.gallery-item-container :has-text(/drsam89|yamato1953|xelophie|Zoe Absinthe|Va Selona|Wuyeyu|Hexcite Hexem|Avatou|Tokyu Ghoul|jamieduncan|Richphoenix|thefrankcastle|DimplesApplePie Spicy|ColdMister|Fiona Astral|Detective009|Starrbreedables|prettyjenny01|Elyrionsoon|Roger Inaka|ChelseaHu|Emily Piggins|partygirllovesc|EVHAH|KasiFallonFirehart|MrSidwell|CurlyBz|KarlParis|Dirhaman|m0ld|CynthiaTNT Burner|Gwyndoleen|Aeon Twist|PixelPenny|KittyRey|Alpha Auer|lio Lemmon|Astra Zuzu|D3athBr33z3|SerinaK|IvanaMandiic|aqshaquinn|lMalefiquel|Bonno Belgar|RichPig|Moon Fluffington|Naxiits|abeer999|icequeencream|Mirella Kayo|Cruiserojer|Queery|Akiv Wizardly|MARKOS221|Nimue Riddler|xontom|naya Querrien|Nhasty|Space Baby|ZanDaMan95|Luv3tt|Stormandco|RazorBlade02|melodysugarplums|Halo Hema|spider2300|RajimSys|Levi Heartsdale|alial Allen|StylizedForge|Cheetah Kitty|SmittenKitten Suki|Gemma Forzane|Dum Pixels|CrazyAvatar|Sultanazubida|Jubaerk|Fyuze|Tariky|Sofialorange|Bunnie Badger|marisca Shinn|Splyx|HeavenLee Soulstar|M4RINIT422|GMi7|Johan Clavenham|GamePoly|Minah Krovac|0Riki0|KimberlyRoze|xLolliDeathx|XxDanny0xX|Nyxaire|plateadaceleste|Zhaira Chau|Kay Doll|lovelyAlexine|Rain0bow|Marylin Breen|Glasz DeCuir/i)
>>43641673it's implemented basically the same way you'd implement a shadow map, and wind direction/strength plays into what angle that shadow map is captured from. There's some jankness around this though, because storing snow textures for everything and keeping track of what moving objects have snow on them and where. Presently it just kind of cops out and the snow "falls off" if you move quickly or if you rotate where the snow could fall off, but I plan to make this more robust, I'd also like mesh snow to be able to gather on top of a popen, because that would be extremely funny.
>>43641907>I'd also like mesh snow to be able to gather on top of a popen, because that would be extremely funny.I concur
