The Bridge

brb meeting

@RonanForman We could always just make a new one. It's not like we NEED to keep all of the old stuff.

32×32 ↑

@badp ....

Grace Note

@ThomasMcDonald We had a long process in coming to this decision, part of it including actual mechanical nuisances involved with actually changing the domain name. I don't recall all of those, so I'll just stick with the other reason - consistency with the other domain names of SE 2.0 sites, and it is our policy going forwards that it'd only ever be a redirect.

8:01 PM

@badp See, if I had been making it 32x32, I would have just made the center row one pixel wider.

murgatroid99

I just noticed that bold is gone on the main site rep display.

That way it would still go to the edges of the image.

user30

@GraceNote :( ah well. thanks.

@GnomeSlice but it doesn't resize all smudgy and shit to all common sizes

which is much more important than being centered

@badp I meant I would have cut it, moved the left have over, and manually re-drawn the extended center row

8:02 PM

@GnomeSlice no, because that makes the image resize smudgy

@badp ...Why would it.

Grace Note

@ThomasMcDonald No problem

there needs to be a 1:1 correspondence between every n×n block (here n = 10) and the single pixel you want the image to resize to

if you align things mid-grid, then each pixel will be 50% one thing and 50% the other thing

@badp Who said anything about resizing, anyway?

Resizing matters, the logo needs to be resized

8:03 PM

Oh, I see, you cut off the border from the original.

Well, do what I suggested to the post-resized one, then.

uh, what is it you suggested again

Move the left half of the image over one, redraw down the center in white.

It will be slightly fatter on the tip.

But it will be centered.

I don't really want to use that one anyway.

Just... give me some days.

uh, if anything it probably needs to be shrunk one pixel both ways anyway

@badp The image is 330 x 330

The one you didn't edit, that is.

the one I uploaded is 320×320

8:06 PM

Whatever, I don't understand what you're doing any more.

Just... do some things to it.

I'm saying, every pixel in the image needs to be aligned to that grid paint shows to be smoothly resized down to 64×64

ooh, I refreshed chat and now it's all arqade-y

insert coin

and if you want 32×32 to also work (and you do since the image is 330×330) then the image needs to be aligned to that grid "halved"

GUH, WHY IS THE CHAT BLUE

OR;BVLHELIRHVERVHERH;VEVJELVELV

8:09 PM

This needs the new Arqade ship.

and lazers.

We had like, the best looking chat, compared to the other sites in the network...

@Jin =[ Chat.

Now it's all... blue.

Actually Sci-Fi's chat theme is pretty epic.

Turns out the Steam page is looking pretty good even if I can't change the group name

user2334

epically awful to read

steamcommunity.com/groups/arqade

(y u no update that too @RonanForman)

user15026

8:11 PM

@GnomeSlice It is fantastic. :D

@Jin Can't the chat at least stay the colour it was? I mean, that's the colour of META... It looked awesome...

@AshleyNunn I can't stand it...

Everything looks better against monochrome.

@GnomeSlice Can I offer you some cheese?

@GnomeSlice rpg has a good chat

I agree with Gnome. =/

haters. gonna. hate.

user15026

8:12 PM

@agentQAty6 This. (also your name makes me giggle)

RPG has one of the coolest themes on the network, in my opinion.

@AshleyNunn :P

Q: Make the rep display bold again

1

With the site redesign, I noticed that on the main site (but not on meta) rep now does not show as bold. Can someone please fix this?

spamspamspamspamspam

@Jin That does look cool. :o

8:13 PM

Ah, The RPG chat theme is pretty nice, but you logo doesn't really stand out from the chatbar.

I really like the rest of it, though.

@Ullallulloo our chat room uber dev @balpha added a dice roll thing in their chat room

i forgot the syntax...

rpg people actually use their chat to roll dice when they host online gaming sessions

Also, the links in the chatbar could have a bit more contrast.

@Jin That's such a cool thing, I think one of them told me that at some point.

You do like Roll:20 or something like that.

It's not that.

@badp ...Why'd you use the non-centered logo.

@GnomeSlice you can roll several types of dice at one time. the syntax is: d6 d8 d10

etc

@Jin Yeah, that's it.

Ergh... please make the arqade chat dark grey again... =[

@GnomeSlice the only thing that changed in this chat is the footer bg color, and the link color. nothing else was changed

8:16 PM

@Jin That's what I'm talking about.

Marco Ceppi

I still think Ask Ubuntu has the best looking chat.

The footer looked much better before... =[

Zomg. Steam launched a movie. Indie Game: The Movie

insert coin

@MarcoCeppi Ogni scarrafone è bello a mamma sua

8:17 PM

@MarcoCeppi Too orange.

@Krazer ...This has been out for nearly a month.

Marco Ceppi

@badp <3

insert coin

Did they relaunch it on steam or something?

insert coin

Yes they did.

8:19 PM

@agentQAty6 Can you write me a plugin to make chat appear the way it used to.

Also, the site.

But mostly chat.

I'll pay you in text linked images.

@GnomeSlice The worldwide release was today.

but I think the real story here is that Steam just launched a movie on their platform.

Now Available - Indie Game: The Movie: #SteamNewRelease http://bit.ly/LXQp1S

Apparently some of the parts about Fez are 'shocking' and 'disturbing'.

@Krazer They had that trailer thing for a long time though.

@Krazer I definitely mentioned this was in the works in here like a month ago.

Nobody cared then...

8:21 PM

@GnomeSlice you have a future for PR

@GnomeSlice Clearly I wasn't there.

now I need to get cracking on the new top user swag package...

Why is my favicon still the old heart on the main site? :(

I never liked the heart.

I want a spaceship.

@Jin ლ(ಥ益ಥლ) jin, pls...

@StrixVaria Do a hard refresh here.

8:22 PM

@StrixVaria your browser is caching it

Yay!

Stupid browser.

Hard refreshing the page should re-fetch the favicon.

btw prop to @PileOfDuty for the favicon. i stole his

A: Introducing Arqade!

Is the site also gonna get a new favicon? I'm gonna miss the heart but... I made a little attempt at an animated one: I am definitely not a designer though, I just have fun doodling on favicon.cc. I'm sure if Jin's designing one, it'll be better. EDIT: I also made a different one without t...

@Jin why did you people decide to change the site design, anyway?

@Krazer This has been up for a while.

@Ullallulloo It's been a while since I climbed out of my hole.

8:26 PM

@GnomeSlice hmm, I don't have the old CSS values, but it seems like it would be pretty straightforward to inject them if I did.

if someone's got a diff of the old CSS vs the new CSS, I can probably author the code.

@agentQAty6 ლ(ಥ益ಥლ) pls

"Sorry son, you can't get new shoes. Daddy needs his Natalya's Mark for $95 from RMAH."

user2334

@Jin Are the prices that high? I would've thought they'd start at like $25 tops and race to the bottom in a week

user15026

@tiddy To go with the Arqade design

If this is the complaint department, I'd like to formally register one about the new room name

user2334

Sounds like Briquette and this ain't Patio.SE

@MarkTrapp they're very high. but the cap is at $250 per item i think

@ThomasMcDonald It's temporary :P

re: room name

8:37 PM

Yeah i'm going to submit complaint #tiddy: Name goes against one of the most ingrained grammar and english familiarity rules

Does a community logo count as 'personal use'?

If I'm not selling it?

Glorified pun

K. That was my weekly allotment

user2334

@GnomeSlice Personal use generally means it's not distributed to anyone, so if you're not using it anywhere, probably

user2334

Watching a movie in the comfort of your living room: personal use. Playing a DVD in an outdoor theatre free of charge: not personal use.

@MarkTrapp What about "Playing a DVD in an outdoor theatre... for your friends"?

user2334

8:42 PM

@Krazer Iffy. Is the event open to the public? Can it reasonably be private if it's in an outdoor theatre?

user2334

Then of course, how many friends? 2 of your BFFs? or 3,000 of your closest friends?

Q: Minecraft world data seems lost after server shutdown

I'm hosting a Minecraft server on my computer. After serveral hours of gamelplay there were a power outage. When I booted up my computer and looged in my server (started it up of course) I saw a new world. It seems that all the data from my previous session is lost. Does the Minecraft server crea...

The new name sounds like the "brickade", which doesn't make much sense.

@MarkTrapp ...So I can't use it for a community logo then, got it.

8:44 PM

@GnomeSlice You could make an embroidered shammy with the logo that you use to clean your monitor. But you couldn't hand those out at ShammyExpo '12.

I still don't... I just won't use it.

I must say I kinda dig the new blue

it's nicer than the previous green

Oooh

We are all blue now! I missed it!

user2334

That cute puppy is not offensive dam

Nick T

Did gem costs change? I thought that was slated for 1.0.3, which isn't out yet

@MarkTrapp Yeah...I wonder what the deal with that was.

@John It will live on on my Minecraft Server

9:06 PM

@OrigamiRobot I approve.

Hey, the Arqade skin is live

Damn. Turns out I don't have Act 3 unlocked, even though I should.

Anyone want to help me kill Belial Inferno?

@fbueckert Inferno Belial was so bad.

KitFox

Oooh, aaahh. Pretty spaceship.

The meteors killed me in one hit :(

@StrixVaria Yeah, I know. I tried so hard to beat him after you left. I got him to phase 3 all of twice.

9:12 PM

I was playing with 2 wizards and the first 2 phases were easy as long as they stayed alive.

I may have to beg @Sterno to run it with me again.

The 3rd phase was pretty much just if I got hit by a meteor we all died.

And I'm bad at dodging meteors.

The one time I killed Belial, @Sterno did all the work. Everything killed me in one hit.

To the point where everything I had was at 0 durability. Naked Monk Inferno run!

I plan on playing through Act 2 in its entirety at least a few times before I even think about attempting Act 3.

I want to be able to steamroll Act 2 like I do Act 1.

That's my short-term goal.

I understand Act 3 is much friendlier than Act 2 is.

9:15 PM

@StrixVaria what @fbueckert said

I disagree.

I played through all of Act 2 with those 2 wizards. We died a bit, but we didn't skip any elite packs.

The very first elite pack in Act 3 hard walled us.

I couldn't survive more than 10 seconds.

more footsteps!

Ok. Meteors one-hit me, but my dodge build works MUCH better than trying to tank it.

The amount of damage added by Sweeping Wind is insane.

9:31 PM

but the important question is... Is there a limit to the number of cyclones that can be spawned from Sweeping Wind?

;)

@ickleislands I can spawn two or three without any particular effort. 11% crit chance.

what, website makes noise

wasn't expecting that, scared the crap out of me

@ickleislands Pings do that. :)

indeed they do

...Bah. Belial's arms hit along the route to the square he's targetting.

9:35 PM

yeah they do

Fredy31

crashes through new website design.

@Fredy31 What is it with you and property destruction?

Fredy31

EVERYTHING.

Kenan

did someone say property damage? youtu.be/HK8_z2RWI5U

I've decided I'm getting takeout

9:39 PM

Hrm. Need better strategy for Belial phase 3.

Ronan Forman

@Fredy Per your suggestion we have a a twitter account!

@fbueckert class?

Yay!

@ickleislands Monk

@fbueckert Don't get hit.

9:40 PM

shouldn't you be standing near one of the corners and moving to the edge for slams?

I just tanked the slams and healed it off.

@StrixVaria Hence my entire strategy is currently, "Dodge, dude. Dodge!"

I used Serenity and 7-sided-strike to help give me invulnerability periods when necessary.

@StrixVaria I replaced 7-sided strike with Breath of Heaven.

@fbueckert I use that too.

Q: Item Budget and number of properties

9:43 PM

1

Blizzard has stated that any item drops or crafting has an Item Budget according to the iLvl. There are some lvl 62 exalted plans that are for 4, 5 or 6 prop versions of the same item. How does this 'budget' interact with them? Is it per property: so 6 prop has way more potential as currently ...

Q: What PC fix do you need to make Dungeon Fighter online by nexon work on windows xp?

Ive tried from 2 different computers on windows xp.Uninstall and reinstall multiple times. Im really wondering how anyone on windows xp can be a new player for this game since it just does not work.Explore the nexon forum as well and could not find an actual hotfix to make this game work anywhere...

pc

@StrixVaria But I use Sweeping Wind. :P

us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#bcgXTQ!XUY!ZZaZcc

This is the build I use in Act 2.

The mantra is the least necessary part of the build.

@Jin Any way to make the Clicked link color darker or something?? It is very very close to the unclicked color to me.

@StrixVaria Remember, I'm trying for a decent dodge build.

us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#bdgXih!XUd!ZcYZca

I gave up on going dodge builds.

Dodge builds lead to you taking damage spikes.

Armor/resists lead to you taking less damage per hit, but getting hit more often.

It's more predictable.

Although if you can get all 3, I guess that's good :P

9:48 PM

And there's the beauty in Diablo; to each their own, and each is viable.

Yeah I really like that too.

60% dodge base, 7K armor, ~700 resists. :P

I should experiment with builds a bit in Act 2.

I don't think I'll give up Serenity + Peaceful Repose until they nerf it (which I'm sure they will), but the rest of it I can mess with.

Since I'm not built for dodge, I should try out Mantra of Retribution.

And I got cocky. One hit.

Yeah, I work much better with a dodge build. Yesterday, I could barely get to phase 3 of Belial. Now, it takes some crazy spiky damage for me to not get there.

@StrixVaria Dodge comes from skills, armor comes from items. Shouldn't be too hard to get both

9:57 PM

@OrigamiRobot I would need to purchase a 2nd weapon and drop my high-armor shield in order to go for a real dodge build.

It's not a change I can justify right now.

That shield also gives me about 130 resist all.

It's a pretty shield.

@StrixVaria If you spam cyclone strike and have high dex, you don't need Guardian's Path

Oh look it's time to go home and play D3 instead of just talking about it.

I Just like maintaining 60% dodge with up to 75% spikes.

If only I could make any money

I need to do runs with @StrixVaria again.

Oh. o.o Hello new site.

10:00 PM

I think I can live with that. dances

@TimStone Needs IAS

... I really do not like this new room name. >.>

Yeah, I know. :(

@Fluttershy Egads, When did that happen!?

Still nice to finally find something that I'm willing to swap for what I've already got.

10:05 PM

@GnomeSlice This is the second or third dress photo you've shown us... Are you... clothes shopping? Is there something you're not telling us?

> Since the clothing is made with living microbes, the creators have named the fabric Micro'be'.

@GnomeSlice This looks disgusting

@Fluttershy ...No.

Various design blogs post this shit.

@Kappei Even though I hate the name, I have to give you props for this.

@Fluttershy DON'T TELL THEM THEY WILL TAKE IT AWAY

@OrigamiRobot <__________<

10:09 PM

I'm ok with the new site name, but the new chat name doesn't make much sense

Maybe something coin related instead? also goes well with the easter egg

Q: has anyone else bought a good guide to help them make money in Diablo 3?

-7

I recently bought a Diablo 3 auction house guide at Amazon and it was really helpful, and I use it a lot I was wondering am I the only one who does this?

diablo-3 money

I think if they're gonna call it BriQAde... it should be like... Charcoal BriQAdes or something... <.< Instead of briquettes... >.>

Resorath

I am disgusted and amused (mostly disgusted) by the chat room rename. That is all.

Ergh, the chat is so hard to read now.

Maybe The Coin Machine?

10:11 PM

@GnomeSlice Why? It's not colored any differently... The chat bar is, but the text itself is not...

@Fluttershy He's just mad that i deleted his flagged post earlier :p

Alok

Hi bricks :)

I want to legally change my name to Alot.

Alok

Came across a 'mechanics' tag, and I know game-mechanics was nuked recently

Should this be removed too?

@spugsley Because you're in love with @Wipqozn?

10:13 PM

@Fluttershy It must be, the highlighted messages posted by me weren't blue before...

@spugsley I want you to legally change your name to Dolan

@spugsley I don't get it

@Fluttershy I want to legally punch you in the unicorn

@GnomeSlice Oh. Yeah... The links are blue now instead of green. I just noticed that.

don't flag that. I'll change it to face

10:13 PM

@spugsley I don't know that you're tall enough to reach my face. >.>

@Fluttershy She isn't

@Fluttershy Not just links.

@OrigamiRobot no and that has nothing to do with anything anyway

When you post a message, that message is highlighted in the chat for you.

Well, I'm glad I broke ALL the brains. >.> Now I must go.

@Fluttershy We need names and serial numbers.

@spugsley I can't let my brain think this, he's too young!

@FAE I was wondering if it was still wrong for her to think that if both people look the same age. I'm leaning towards "yes", but.

@TimStone Now she all mad.

Of course the very first item I see on the RMAH makes me think "omfg I want this so bad I might consider spending $5 on it" and of course it's $150.

10:31 PM

@StrixVaria The RMAH is so freakin dumb :p.

Yeah I can't see myself actually spending money.

@FAE my steam is being dumb

@StrixVaria this

@spugsley So is mine

Steam, why do you have to die when I'm having like 3 convos :(

@FAE Only 3?

@StrixVaria How much was the game?

10:34 PM

@OrigamiRobot Was 4, one had to go eat dinner :P

Steam seems to be back up for me now

user15026

mine is still broken :(

That is one hell of a sense of balance and upper body strength!

10:49 PM

@GnomeSlice The guy made two separate accounts, one to ask, one to answer, according to @Oak.

Wipqozn

@spugsley It's okay, I understand.

And his "answer" is basically, "Exit the game"

Wipqozn

You wouldn't be the first person to fall hopelessly in love with me.

@danRhul In which case, edit incoming!
