@GraceNote Doesn't community only bump questions that are unanswered or answered with no upvotes?

@badp She means the bump from posting the answer.

@badp That's entirely separate from the "This got a new answer/edit" bump.

@GraceNote Oh, sorry.

btw, Psychonauts 50% off. store.steampowered.com/app/3830

So I made an all-green Terraria character and I planned on making a action shot of him swinging a green phasesaber my gravatar, but every screencap method I have is completely ignoring my fullscreen Terraria window. To the point of screencapping the windows under it.

@John including Steam?

@John Use Steam's?

F10

@badp Well, you can already view the "greatest hits" someone's participated in, but I guess that's the opposite end of the spectrum from what you want.

@badp hmm, I wonder if there's an API call for this. unlikely, though, argh.

@Ullallulloo I was not aware of this. I will try it.

Most games can't be printscreened successfully now it seems.

@John Have you tried... not running fullscreen?

@TimStone What was the link to the greatest hits again?

@GraceNote That crashes my computer.

I have no idea why.

That... is ill.

@GraceNote Quite.

@badp gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/greatest-hits with ?userId= to filter

I just cut my video rendering time in half!

I'm not sure why that wasn't expanded on, I guess it fell by the wayside against other improvements.

@RonanForman How?

oh lol

new TF2 wearable slot: "Mystical Lamp"

@GnomeSlice I've compared some videos and found that single pass rendering isn't noticeably worse.

@RonanForman Depends on what you're doing.

What bitrate are you encoding at?

And CBR, or VBR?

@GnomeSlice VBR and 8 target, 9 max.

Well I've tried F10 and F12. No dice. (@Ullallulloo)

@John Oops, yeah, F12's the default.

@RonanForman I don't know as much about bitrate and encoding as I should, but yeah, that sounds fine.

@John you've looked at Steam -> Settings -> In-Game?

@Ullallulloo Well, I tried that too.

Check the Steam settings.

Steam Menu>Settings>In-Game

@Ullallulloo Too Slow, Part 2: The Slowening

@John Take a picture of your monitor and scan it.

@IanPugsley @Ullallulloo That says F12.

@IanPugsley darn

It also says I should be getting a sound and a notification...

@John Is the Steam Community box checked?

I don't have sound on, but I'm fairly sure I'm not getting a notification...

@Ullallulloo Yes

@John can you bring up the in-game overlay?

@John You don't kill it after launching Terraria do you?

I think there are buttons that will let you take a screenshot too

@IanPugsley I thought Terraria didn't have one of those?

@Ullallulloo Kill Steam? No, I don't.

I'll check if shift+tab does anything...

@IanPugsley Nope, it doesn't

@John you can even run the in-game overlay for non-Steam games sometimes

@Ullallulloo hm, just view them?

@John It's just a seperate program.

Yeah, what Ian said.

@IanPugsley Yeah

If I can't run a game in a window, I usually can't even play it.

@IanPugsley Shift+tab appears to do nothing in Terraria.

My mouse cursor disappears when I run fullscreen applications.

@John Right-click Terraria in your games list>properties>check the box

@John Are you running Terraria fullscreen at a different resolution than your system resolution?

@Ullallulloo It is.

@John are you using a texture pack for Terraria?

@GnomeSlice I'm not sure...checking...

@IanPugsley No

@John If you are, try switching it to the same resolution as your system, and then printscreen.

@GnomeSlice They are at the same resolution.

@John You closed it, and then checked, I'm assuming?

Strange that the steam capture doesn't work.

@GnomeSlice I opened it, checked the res in Terraria, and I already know what my desktop res is.

Then I closed it.

If you tell it to open the steam overlay both places, I don't know why it wouldn't

If you can't bring up the overlay then that's probably the problem.

It shows up in other games?

@John, try running it in a window at a smaller resolution.

@GnomeSlice Like I told Grace, trying to run it in a window crashes my computer.

@John Try a smaller resolution?

Defragment/reinstall it?

@Ullallulloo Upon checking, not on this computer...

@John ....Well there's your problem.

@GnomeSlice Apparently...

Check that the overlay keys actually are shift+tab.

@RonanForman I did, they are.

Ok, I got it.

There's a bug with Steam under Wine where the overlay causes some games to crash.

Check task manager to see if steamoverlay.exe is running.

To prevent that, the gameoverlayrenderer.dll is disabled.

Thus disabling the overlay and screenshot taker.

I'll turn that back on for a while, and see if it works then.

@John Wine was kind of an important part of this equation, lol

@IanPugsley Didn't I mention that?

Haven't I mentioned that before?

I thought everyone knew I used Wine.

I knew Tristan and OrigamiRobot did...

well I didn't :(

@IanPugsley :(

@John I remember you saying that now, but at the time I wasn't thinking of it.

@IanPugsley I guess you missed the conversation where I was explaining that Wine was responsible for me lagging out.

Well, I have screenshots now! :D

@John if it was in Terraria, definitely - I've been bad

@John grats!

@IanPugsley It was here; in this chat. >.>

@IanPugsley Thank you!

@John I'm at work so I miss quite a bit

@IanPugsley :(

Now I have to decide which one I like...

Eh?

@John is that a green lightsaber in your hand, or are you just happy to see me?

@agent86 If it's green, he should probably get that checked out

@agent86 I don't get it....but not sure I want to...

@John I see not green!

@FallenAngelEyes well, he is "john the green" so perhaps green is normal for him?

..............

@John Looks good, but I don't know how visible everything will be when it's small.

@GraceNote The Jungle armor?

@John You don't.

I wanted him to have armor, and that's the only green armor.

@John Aye! There be tons of brown in there!

@GraceNote John the GreenAndBrownish?

@GraceNote I'll shoot it again without the armor and see what I get.

@John i thought you were going to chance your gravatar

@Wipqozn Are you not following the current conversation stream?

@GraceNote obviously not

soundcloud.com/thewalkingforest/sets/the-walking-forest-1

Are we still talking about @John and his avatar? Jeez!

This is... interesting music.

@John You could try the Hero's Clothes

@John why not use mythril?

@FallenAngelEyes I could try that...I think @Tristan has a set of that...

@OrigamiRobot I could try that too...

I still think you should make yoeur gravatar a picture of me @John

or a pony

Without Armor.

also you could use whatever the heck color you want as long as it's all one color, then manipulate the image

@IanPugsley I'm....not good at that.

@Wipqozn or a :( with a star?

Why does he have to use the arm that would cover his face?!

@OrigamiRobot That works too

@John Easier to animate and keep your hitbox normalized.

@John i do

@GraceNote -_- Of course.

@Tristan Could I borrow that for a few minutes?

@John sure

@Tristan Thanks

@John Take the screenshot of you fighting a unicorn. Then take out the horn.

@OrigamiRobot if you're saying it would be a pony, you should know there are unicorn ponies who have horns

is a downvote on a question -1 or -2 rep to the question owner?

@agent86 2

:|

@Wipqozn worns?

@Wipqozn even easier.

@Wipqozn is that your final answer, or do you want to phone a friend?

2 to owner, 1 to downvoter, right? same for questions as for answers, right? that's what I think

@GraceNote worns? What are you talking about? You're crazy grace note

@AbbyTMiller I believe so, yes.

@AbbyTMiller Downvoting questions no longer costs any rep.

@AbbyTMiller downvoting a question doesnt cost the downvoter any rep OMG I AM TOO LATE!

@JasonBerkan what! since when!

oh, just for questions?

@AbbyTMiller awhile ago, actually

is a stack exchange employee, should probably know these things

@AbbyTMiller You were just testing us right?

er

RIGHT.

you all pass. very good.

it was a secret test: only candidates who knew that answer will make it to the moderator primaries.

@AbbyTMiller I was the only one who really knew. Everyone else was just pretending.

So we can just skip the elections and make me mod.

@AbbyTMiller Yeeessssssss

I'll come clean, I passed @Wipqozn a note with the answer on it.

@AbbyTMiller I assumed you just sat around all day memorizing the minutiae of the system so that at any point we could quiz you on it.

@Wipqozn Keep telling yourself that and there will be badgers.

sounds very reasonable to me.

"earned 4 reputation from suggested edits" \o/

Still only 10? I am disappoint

@Oak I can enter a second time if you want?

Wunderkit is now in public beta. It's a productivity tool/social media thing. Not a game.

@OrigamiRobot what, you have a socketpuppet with >300 rep?

@GnomeSlice then WHY EVEN BRING IT UP

@AbbyTMiller =[

@Oak why don't you run? :)

Probably for the same reason he's said for the past two elections

Actually this time I've been thinking about reconsidering my stance

@GraceNote I know... I know

@John Sun's up.

oh

nice
