@GnomeSlicE If you have suggestions, I'm all ears. I just need something to denote level without writing out the word (for where I don't have room)
@GnomeSlicE ★ better?
 
@QAtash A little.
 
user2334
 
I'm trying to be careful not to mix paradigms though
and stars are used in chat... so something else might be better. :/
 
@QAtash why not something like this: ♡
It's simple, and won't mess up at different resolutions.
 
user2334
wonder how many people this works for: 🌟 or ⭐
 
10:04 PM
@MarkTrapp Nope.
 
@MarkTrapp Not I
@GnomeSlicE I'd considered the heart
 
@QAtash What heart?
 
Especially considering the hearts meaning across the site
@GnomeSlicE The one you posted
 
I didn't post a heart...
 
 
10:05 PM
 
@GnomeSlicE Yes you did.
 
Heart without a middle
 
 
user2334
 
10:05 PM
@GnomeSlicE Odd
 
@QAtash You want me to just make you an icon?
@MarkTrapp WTF.
 
user2334
GnomeSlicE's fonts are broken, so I'd just go with what you had before @QAtash
 
@GnomeSlicE Maybe at some point. Like I said, just looking to get it out the door at this point
 
@QAtash Is there a hollow star?
 
user2334
4 mins ago, by Mark Trapp
 
10:08 PM
@MarkTrapp Right. That might work.
It's clearly a star, unlike the first one you posted @QAtash
 
user2334
۞
 
@MarkTrapp Random symbol, no meaning.
 
I like ✌
 
@QAtash I can't even tell what that is.
 
@GnomeSlicE Haha, nope. But its a hand giving the peace sign
 
user2334
10:09 PM
@GnomeSlicE Wrong, it's the Arabic star of Rub el Hizb
 
@QAtash It looks like shit here. You can't go with anything complicated.
@MarkTrapp I meant 'in the context of arqade levels'.
 
user2334
Arqade doesn't have levels

Q: Do the coins have any purpose?

Ashley NunnWhen you are skiing, you can pick up coins. If you pick up all the coins in one section you get a Gold Rush bonus, but can you actually buy anything with the coins?

 
@MarkTrapp @QAtash is making a script to 'add' a levelling system. That's what we're talking about.
 
10:11 PM



 
user2334
If it's being made up, he can use whatever symbol he wants
 
4 look best for everyone?
 
@QAtash Those all look terrible, to be honest.
 
This is a list of Unicode characters. C0 Controls and Basic Latin {| class="wikitable sortable" !Code !Result !Description !Abbreviation |- | U+0000 | | Null character | NUL |- | U+0001 | | Start of Heading | SOH |- | U+0002 | | Start of Text | STX |- | U+0003 | | End-of-text character | ETX |- | U+0004 | | End-of-transmission character | EOT |- | U+0005 | | Enquiry character | ENQ |- | U+0006 | | Acknowledge character | ACK |- | U+0007 | | Bell character | BEL |- | U+0008 | | Backspace | BS |- | U+0009 | | Horizontal tab | HT |- | U+000A | | Line feed | LF |- | U+000B | | ...
What I'm using
 
10:12 PM
 
@GnomeSlicE That's used for expand/collapse though
 
@QAtash True.
 
user2334
✨ Sparkles! ✨
 
 
@MarkTrapp Don't render for me
 
10:13 PM
@MarkTrapp Wherever you're finding these, I don't see any of them.
 
user2334
Need better browsers with better unicode support
 
@MarkTrapp what OS are you on, and what browser?
 
user2334
OS X, Safari
 
user2334
Works in Chrome too however
 
@MarkTrapp Clearly I need sparkles in my browser.
@MarkTrapp I'm in chrome. Nope.
»
 
user2334
10:14 PM
 
user2334
Yep
 
@QAtash լ
@MarkTrapp Not for me.
 
user2334
Your browser/OS is broken, not sure what to tell you
 
Հ looks sort of like an 'L'.
@MarkTrapp Maybe it's just not updated.
 
It's about the font used, not the browser 99% of the time
 
10:15 PM
@QAtash Also, what's wrong with simply using L?
 
@GnomeSlicE Yeah, I considered just an L or similar symbol, but that seems to literal for me...
 
You need a custom icon, man.
 
Also, looks a little odd seeing L17 everywhere lol
 
Do you see a heart that time?
Or three lines.
 
@MarkTrapp That doesn't render for me either, and I'm on chrome on windows
 
10:16 PM
 
 
@QAtash here just look here
@QAtash You see a heart again?
That's weird...
 
user2334
@QAtash Not with Unicode, unless your OS is ancient/Windows. When an OS encounters a Unicode code point it can't find in the current font, it should fall back to a font that has it.

user2334
10:18 PM
Actually, even Arial Windows falls back to Unicode MS. Just looks like whatever Windows ships with is incomplete
 
@QAtash I see three horizontal lines, like before.
 
@GnomeSlicE same here
 
@QAtash I think that symbol could work. It's like 'levels' or layers.
 
@GnomeSlicE That's what it is supposed to be. And the other is the heart
@MarkTrapp Unicode MS I don't think supports very high Unicode values
@GnomeSlicE Not sold on that one. I might just go with the heart
 
@QAtash The heart makes no sense, take the star.
☆ ★
^ That's the only alt code I ever remembered.
alt + 9999
 
10:20 PM
The star mixes paradigms with chat though...
 
@QAtash what about ↑ ?
 
@GnomeSlicE Signifies leveling up, which is something I'd considered animating. But using for just a level seems odd
 
***************
We are planning to perform a maintenance. The Summer Sale votes may be unavailable.

Downtime should be brief but could last up to 20 minutes. Sorry for the inconvenience.
***************
 
Huh, that chart I just linked isn't accurate in some places.
 
Can't tell what it is, but it looks cool enough
 
10:23 PM
@QAtash hey, how about ∞
@QAtash ­symbol for infinity. sideways eight.
 
@GnomeSlicE seems kind of weird to use ∞ for a particular number
 
@murgatroid99 Ah yeah, you're right.
@QAtash What is that?
 
☀ - Sun. Hard to tell but I think it looks kind of cool at smaller sizes
 
@QAtash Using stuff that looks 'cool' because it's being distorted is never good.
 
10:25 PM
Like I said, minimum viable product for now...
 
@QAtash that does look pretty cool
 
I still think I'd use the star.
 
Maybe I'll make it customizable at some point and just let you all pick your own lol
 
@QAtash You need to use an image.
 
@GnomeSlicE why couldn't he just let people type/copy in a character
 
10:27 PM
A character or image... Maybe I'll just support either
 
@murgatroid99 He could, but they're all going to look terrible at higher resolutions.
 
@GnomeSlicE So are images when you resize them... since I need to support 2 different sizes
I'm just going to go with the star for now, and I'll put it as a feature request to make it customizable
 
@QAtash Don't use the one inside the circle.
 
At some point I want to make the color of the XP bar customizable anyway
 
Ж ж
 
10:29 PM
@GnomeSlicE Going with what I just posted screenshots of. I guess it's the sun, not a star, but still
 
@QAtash so, are the levels related to privileges or anything?
 
 
@murgatroid99 No Rep
 
lol, 17 ₧!
† ‡
 
100k is level 100. I've got 2.9k and am at level 17 right now
 
10:30 PM
 
Raven is highest at level 91, followed by agent at 63 I think
 
@QAtash So, it replaces the rep counter per user?
¤
 
@GnomeSlicE Yeah, it will display levels instead of rep. Rep can still be found out by hovering over the level
Your rep is always shown at the top though

@RonanForman So, Intervaler was mucked up cause of where we wget'd it from. I recompiled my plugin for 1.6 and it runs. Want to poke it a bit and aim for a test run at the end of next week (Friday ??) and then give the UHC a go for that weekend.

Q: In Anno 2070, what consumes wood?

DefaultCharI understand that it's used to buy buildings, but for some reason my stockpile of wood is constantly emptying. Was not able to find any building that should be using it. (Missing 1 Act 3, if that helps at all)

Q: Is there a way to see gifts you've sent on Steam?

agm_I remember there being a button to view a list of all the guest passes and gifts you've sent to people on Steam, but it seems to have disappeared after the Steam inventory update? Is it still there, in a different place, or was it removed completely? Thank you in advance.

 
10:42 PM
@QAtash
 
@GnomeSlicE Heh, a battery?
 
@QAtash Yeh, why not. Don't use that though.
@Wipqozn You need to make a script to change the site back to the old design. ;_;
 
@GnomeSlicE Heh, maybe. Moved on to the update script at this point
Trying to get it out today
 
@GnomeSlicE I prefer the blue.
 
@Wipqozn =[
 
10:55 PM
Alright!
Who wants a copy of Borderlands???
 
Did we ever get a vector file for the heart?
 
@Ktash Yes.
Would you like me to make an icon from it?
It doesn't scale down very well though.
 
@GnomeSlicE Is there a link to it somewhere. I'm using it for something else (related but not the same)
 
@Ktash Uh... Let me see if I can dig it up.
wait, wrong one
@QAtash what do you need it for?
I can upload it somewhere for you to download.
 
11:01 PM
@GnomeSlicE I'm putting it on my site, but the system I built a while back requires an icon. I'm making one now, and want to incorporate the heart into it
 
@Ktash ...You can't just use the old logo as your own symbol, can you?
 
@GnomeSlicE It will be for the script (which is for the community) not for my own logo or anything. I think that falls into the 'okay' category, but maybe not
 
@Ktash Oh, you said it was something else.
 
@GnomeSlicE That one looks like the new logo, not the heart one...
It's alright if you can't find it, I can recreate it pretty easily
 
@Ktash No, I can, I didn't copy the link
 
11:04 PM
or at least a facsimile of one
 
So. Does anyone want a free game?
 
There.
Sorry, didn't actually copy the new link.
@Wipqozn Depends on the game.
 
I need a hat expert
 
@GnomeSlicE It's meant to be a surprise.
@GraceNote TF2 hats?
 
@Wipqozn Sure, why not.
I'll save everyone else from whatever it is you're giving away.
 
11:05 PM
@Wipqozn Yes. I need a link to an old blog/diary article detailing one woeful employee's experience in a company devoted only to hats (and what poor fate awaited him when he tried to oppose this direction)
 
@GnomeSlicE Thanks
 
@GraceNote Ah, you mean the valve blog post thing
 
@GnomeSlicE Yes, that one
 
@GnomeSlicE It's for an icon for the script. Not the script itself, but something visual so that I can link to the script with an icon
 
@GnomeSlicE: Bam! Sent via steam.
 
11:06 PM
I'm trying to explain to a poor sap of another community the importance of hats.
 
That's just the one, thanks, @GnomeSlicE. You're a lifesaver.
 
@Wipqozn Justice is served.
 
@GnomeSlicE I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
 
@Wipqozn Listen to this
 
11:10 PM
Also, I have two copies of The Ship if anyone wants them.
 
@GnomeSlicE Speaking of, the Valve Economics blog is fascinating and if you aren't reading it you should be.
What is The Ship
 
This reminds me, I have two two-packs of the ship if anyone wants them.
 
The Ship: Murder Party is a first person shooter computer game using Valve Software's Source engine developed by Outerlight. The game was released on July 11, 2006, on Steam with retail distribution in Europe and Australia in September, and April 10, 2007, for North America. A playable concept for The Ship was released as a modification for the game Half-Life in 2004. The game is set on a 1920s recreational cruise ship. Each player is assigned a quarry, and the object is to murder him or her with nobody watching, while at the same time watching out for, and defending yourself against, yo...
 
@Wipqozn ಠ_ಠ Yours are probably two-packs as well.
 
@GnomeSlicE Probably.
I got mine from radp.
@GnomeSlicE I like it
I never got the online working myself. I need to try and fiddle around with it some more.
 
11:12 PM
@Wipqozn You should buy the 'Red' DLC on Steam. It's on sale for like $2 right now and it's worth it just for the music it comes with.
@Wipqozn Haven't installed the ship yet, too big.
 
@GnomeSlicE That's what she said.
 
I have an extra copy of Frozen Synapse. Anyone interested?

Q: Why is Gragas not considered a top mid/top?

MozzykazeI feel like Gragas isn't considered a good mid by most pros, he's a rare pick, especially in tournaments (even though he penta'd =P) His poke, sustain and escape are all pretty good, and his ult provides a little extra CC. So why is he not picked up more often?

 
I brought this up earlier, but I realized today that the custom theme I put together for the Arqade Community Twitter feed is exactly the same as the official one.
What do you guys think about me making it look like the old site theme?
@Fluttershy Lol, you bought the double pack?
 
@GnomeSlicE If Just Cause 2 wins the current 8-hour dealy, I'll buy it.
 
FAE
11:16 PM
@StrixVaria So will I, though I already own it on PS3
 
@StrixVaria it's already 40% off.
 
FAE
2 words: Multiplayer Mod.
 
Is that not what you're talking about?
 
@GnomeSlicE If it wins the current vote it'll go to 75% off for 8 hours.
 
@FAE As far as I can work out from reading, the multiplayer mod sort of barely works.
Although I'm thinking of modding it so that I can actually get 100% completion. Apparently it's impossible, standard, because a few items were left out.
Also, I recommend against buying any of the DLC for Just Cause except for the parachute thrusters.
Everything costs so much in-game you never get to use any of it.
I should record myself playing it some time.
 
11:20 PM
@GnomeSlicE Why?
 
@Wipqozn I dunno, because I've come up with a lot of things to do in that game.
 
@GnomeSlicE The correct answer was "Just cause"
Man, I'm so witty.
 
@Wipqozn Ah, I see there.
 
Also, damn you @StrixVaria. You made my buy LA Noire when you mentioned it being on sale.
Seeing you playing it now reminded me of that.
I hate Steam sales.
2
 
@Wipqozn It's really good so far.
Aside from being a very, very obvious port.
 
11:40 PM
You think by now I'd learn to never buy PC games until they're on sale

Q: Why is Soraka not a viable AP middle?

skirtsteakI've been playing a lot of Soraka middle and have really been enjoying it. Your Q does decent damage early game and your E is free and does great damage with Q stacks. Her W is a decent heal and her R can save anyone from across the map, providing not only utility but damage. Early game, the Q ...

Q: What is known about the "forbidden 7"?

JeffIn Super Smash Bros Brawl, there are 7 characters that have "files" found in the game, but do not make an appearance in the actual game. What I want to know is in what state were these characters and what else do we know about them? (Were there models in the game, movesets, are they in any form p...

Q: Who is the best counter to Ezreal in bot lane?

CrimsonvaltyrPulsefire Ezreal came out and there's been a lot more Ezreal players. He's hard to gank with just one rank in his Arcane Shift and hard to harass with his Essence Flux going over minions and slowing my attack speed. Trinity does so well on him that he can build just a Phage and survive and burst ...

Q: Bot buster and support/combat girl

George DuckettThe bot buster endorsement gives a damage bonus against bots, but does it effect the turrets that support and combat girl can place?

 
@Lazers Was tempted to change the title to 'How do I ..' to head off downvotes, but I guess people are actually reading descriptions before doing that? (or else haven't seen it yet ;) )
 
11:56 PM
Any idea why GitHub would give me ".git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?"
