Q: 1-2 FPS when using ShadersMod in FTB

0

I've just installed the Shaders Mod, and in game I get around 1-2 fps, rather than the usual 30-60. I'm using the DireWolf20 mod pack. I get the lag even with out applying a shader pack. The way I installed it was I followed this guide, but the basics are download the jar, put it in the mods fol...

@GnomeSlice Whoa. That is nice

@mbr the netcode for Source games is indeed tick based

Dunno about LoL but given that at the end of the day games communicate over packet networks I have trouble imagining any other kind to netcode

@GnomeSlice I like it, but the scrolling on that page is painfully unintuitive

@FAE It's still my most upvoted post of all time.

12:55 AM

Hm

A while back, I remember seeing an article about KSP

There was a really amazing background in it

and I can't find it

@badp You asked about LoL. Is that Source engine? Still, my other point stands.

It was similar to this one, but there were also blueprints and things in it

FAE

@SaintWacko Here you go

oh my god I love you guys

Now I wonder if there's a higher res version somewhere

FAE

1:00 AM

@SaintWacko I still had it open in my tabs for reading, so I knew exactly what you meant, haha

The article is, sadly, a PR piece with little substance.

For instance, they conveniently leave out the part where out of 28 people they hired, only 15 still work at the company, and of those 7 are management.

Not to mention that, with one or two exceptions, only the management folks actually get paid.

@FEichinger The article is also 8 months old. It's possible all of that wasn't actually a thing then.

It was.

The numbers were slightly lower, but the dirt behind the scenes was the same.

Heck, a bit before that article they burned through two Community Managers and a 3D artist because reasons.

Q: Tower Bridge Build?

I want to build a fancy bridge in my minecraft world, like a small scale Tower Bridge maybe. How would I go about building this? I'm sort of terrible at building these types of things.

I'm actually using a 2-handed weapon on my Monk and it's not awful!

CC @OrigamiRobot @Frank

The buff was actually useful this time.

1:13 AM

That's just because you don't have emeralds yet!

I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS NEW 2-HANDED MADNESS

@FEichinger o.0

I have an emerald in my 2-handed weapon.

But you could have 2 emeralds.

But my weapon has an ability with the text: "Slap!"

That is worth an emerald.

I'm also using that weird Deadly Reach rune where the 3rd hit is replaced with just electric pulses around you.

FAE

G'night all.

1:18 AM

I have sent a message to the author of that article hoping to find a higher res version

@FAE G'night!

@Lazers I'm not sure what to make of this. Too subjective, too broad, or just a poor question for the site?

@SaintWacko Suffice to say, there's a lot of crap going on. There's a reason a lot of fans advocate pirating the game now, rather than buying it. They've done a mediocre job at public relations, and an even worse job at corporate.

Are we really here to offer artistic advice?

@FEichinger Does that include the move away from their own platform to using Curse? It's something I'm not terribly happy about.

That is also some very dirty crap, yes.

It created a relatively large fallout. A fallout that we had predicted internally, warned them about, and given them explicit alternatives that would be less ill-received.

They chose to ignore the advice. Like many other times before.

Is there a site that can give you low priced Amazon recommendations to bump you over the free shipping minimum?

Seriously, the amount of times two or three people on the moderator team had told them "Guys, no. This is a terrible idea. Think this through.", where they didn't give a single fuck about it is staggering.

Unionhawk

This honestly does not surprise me.

And mind you, this isn't random doomsday stuff the moderators just made up. Some of it was professional advice. Say, during the server move(s).

user15026

@RedRiderX IF not, there should be because that is a brilliant idea

1:34 AM

I know I heard of it a while ago...

@RedRiderX Actually there is. Somebody linked it in here a while ago. I can't remember the name though.

I just wish I could remember it.

And now, just the other week, they're "considering changing the server again" because, quelle surprise, turns out we were right in saying this server was a shit option that wouldn't deliver the service needed.

Q: Is elemental damage on a legendary gem affected by elemental damage on gear?

Some of the new legendary gems, such as Mirinae, Teaerdrop of the Starweaver, cause elemental damage to occur (2000% weapon damage in this case). If I have +Holy damage on my gear, will this increase the amount of damage of this gem?

@spugsley Oh, that internets

Congratulations!

1:56 AM

@spugsley Ah, that part of the internet. I don't ever get to go there. I'm not fancy enough

I was actually just reading that

user15026

@Ktash I think you are plenty fancy.

@AshleyNunn I concur ;3

D'aww, thanks :3

user15026

@Ktash No problem. It's easy to say the true things.

user15026

I got two new books today and I kinda want to read one instead of hte very dry book wax reading about small towns in Canada (that was far more political than I wanted) but I can't decide between teh two.

2:02 AM

@AshleyNunn NEW BOOK!

user15026

@spugsley Yes but which new book? The ethics and aesthetics of hacking, or the hidden language of computer hardware and software?

user15026

I CANNOT CHOOSE

@AshleyNunn ... I don't know how to respond to this. It was just not what I was expecting from you...

Apparently on this site

@AshleyNunn What do those mean?

2:04 AM

if you can make bullshit up and sound official anybody will believe you

@memescientist That's just generally true

just a thought

A lot of people here claim to have "connections" with famous video game developers, blah blah blah, some claim to be them themselves

but turn out to be fake in the end. But the populace is blind and will believe what others see

user15026

@murgatroid99 The first one is an anthropology book about hacker culture, the second is a computer science book talking about human innovation in communication and how it relates to computers.

user15026

@memescientist I have no idea why you are saying this right now.

I really wanted to test this out, to see how gullible people are on this site

@AshleyNunn Credibility, is a point I want to bring up

2:06 AM

@memescientist We specifically don't accept questions or answers that depend on knowledge only developers would have

@AshleyNunn I vote second choice

user15026

@memescientist It's the internet. shrug

@murgatroid99 Right, I'm totally fine with that, no problems there, just with users who answer as if they have all the answers are one with the dev

user15026

@murgatroid99 I was kinda leaning towards that.

@memescientist Can you give an example?

off to play a game with the fambly

2:07 AM

Well, considering you'd never figure out my sockpuppet

@AshleyNunn I vote for the first, but that may just be me. I've always loved that culture

byebyes for now!

the sockpuppet's son of the living sockpuppet

user15026

@Ktash Sorry :P I've just been working on a lot of stuff lately for my super secret awesome plan of what I am studying next :)

I posted an answer under a new account states away from where I live when I was on travel

I think this was a few months back?

2:08 AM

@memescientist So do you have an example or not?

I basically made an account name that sounded official, pretended to be a rep for a company

user15026

@Ktash That one I've read bits of for one of my digital humanities classes, and it is really good. (Coding Freedom, by Gabriella Coleman. It's free in e-copy because of creative commons awesome but I bought it because I just...yes.)

Well, I'd have to get one of my alts and come back @murgatroid99

@AshleyNunn I see. Now I just feel out of the loop :P

But then again, you'd never know

And of course, this is all hypothetical

user15026

2:08 AM

@memescientist See, all I get from this is that you were kinda a jerk and manipulated people and that is a crappy thing to do.

@AshleyNunn eh, better than some others

@memescientist It's not hypothetical. You made a factual assertion and then you didn't back it up

@murgatroid99 if I can't back it up, how is it factual?

user15026

@Ktash I don't super mention it because every time I get excited over this thing I've had people talk me out of it but it is a thing I want to do and study.

4 mins ago, by meme scientist

if you can make bullshit up and sound official anybody will believe you

2:09 AM

oh

I was referring to that Oprah Winfrey's book club thing

@AshleyNunn Fair enough.

a million little pieces or something

From the books, sounds a lot like what I studied in school

@memescientist You said "On this site"

@murgatroid99 right, on the SE network

2:10 AM

user15026

@Ktash Aye, similar, but with other sideways bits tacked on. :)

@AshleyNunn Got it. Well yay for secret projects! :)

@memescientist So do you have an example to back up that reference, or not?

Anyway, gotta figure out food. And it is too warm to cook

@murgatroid99 fine fine

user15026

2:10 AM

@Ktash It's one of those things I don't entirely mind talking about, but like...I am not ready to be like Guys I am doing this thing"

I'll post it

But it's not my account

@Ktash Hm. Aquire food?

I'm Marc Merrill, or as some of you know me by, Tryndamere. I helped design and develop League of Legends from the beginning. What I can let you know is that we never coded in a Draw Game into the system. There is just no way for the system to handle a tie. And I'll leave it at that; it's far...

@AshleyNunn Which is fair. That's where I am with a couple of my projects :)

@AshleyNunn That's the plan, but I don't know where yet

Really simple to do

Go to Wikipedia and search up names, then pull up relevant info

start the answer off with something that sounds official

End it with something that sounds official

fill it with corporate jargon and bullshit lingo

I actually want it closed, but it's rather funny

2:12 AM

@memescientist The first comment is skeptical of the user's identity

@murgatroid99 despite six upvotes

And that was a controversial question for exactly that reason

@memescientist Somebody deleted my potato comment. =[

I wanted to do that to see how gullible others were

@memescientist Fine. You have demonstrated that 6 people are gullible

Congratulations

2:13 AM

Considering how James pretended to be "literally sitting next to one of the developers"

@memescientist According to you

Well, it was a guess after all

user15026

I fail to see your point.

user15026

Like fine, people lie on the internet.

user15026

It happens all the fucking time.

user15026

2:14 AM

It's not new.

@AshleyNunn no shit

but on this site, what are you peeps willing to do?

@memescientist And his answer was controversial for the same reason, and it was deleted

user15026

Would I love to believe everyone here is 100% what they say they are? Sure. Can I? No.

sit around and let garbage stagnate?

@memescientist We have a process. Downvote wrong answers, upvote correct ones

2:15 AM

@murgatroid99 But how do we tell if something is wrong?

user15026

@memescientist The thing is, we need ABSOLUTE PROOF it is not true. So we vet info as best we can.

IN this case, I clearly let you know what happened

user15026

And that's all we CAN do.

user15026

@memescientist You've really proved nothing.

So you had 100% chance of knowing it was faked

user15026

2:15 AM

You've made a lot of claims, and there is NOTHING to prove what happened.

I'm just saying, we get a lot of garbage answers that the community upvotes blindly

@memescientist Either it can be verified, or it can't. And if it can't, it's probably a bad answer

@memescientist The question is closed. What more do you expect?

user15026

You've said a bunch of times that you are just talking "hypothetically" but then you just said you proved it.

user15026

Those two things contradict each other.

Alright, I'm going to stay out of this and find food. Suggestions?

user15026

2:16 AM

So which is it, where is your proof?

user15026

@Ktash Cinnabon. Always.

@memescientist s/the community/six individuals/

@AshleyNunn ... ok, now that is going to happen

But other food stuffs for like normal dinner

so that when my mom calls and says something about eating I don't respond with "well I had Cinnabon for dinner, so all is well"

user15026

@Ktash Whatcha got for options?

user15026

@Ktash Hahaha fair enough :)

2:18 AM

@AshleyNunn Red robin, Panda Express, Taco Bell, Thai, Subway, Cafe, Burgers, Burritos, Pizza, etc. etc.

Basically lots

Which is a problem

user15026

@Ktash Mmmmm, well if it were me, right now, I would go to Panda Express

user15026

because that is what sort of food I feel like

Jason Berkan

@James Simply put; I am a liar.

And I'm off to put the kids to bed.

user15026

@MBraedley But...but...but I would never want to eat it because it is amazing.

@AshleyNunn I was thinking that. But I go there so often the lady knows me. And knows my order. And it's in the mall food court. So that's sort of an odd combo

user15026

2:20 AM

@Ktash Hey, that just makes ordering easier!

True...

And it is pretty close to Cinnabon

hmm, I think the decision is being made

user15026

@Ktash Look, I was helpful :)

@AshleyNunn You always are. Even if just by your presence bringing a smile to my face :)

user15026

@murgatroid99 Aye, his name changes relatively regularly now, it seems.

@AshleyNunn You'd probably know if it went bad at least, because of the smell. But eggs have a pretty decent shelf life if you don't scrub the outside and let the oxygen in (which is what happens to eggs in North America in particular because of the stringent cleaning requirements)

2:28 AM

And he left as soon as I found his name

@AshleyNunn Do you have mod powers to try to find sockpuppets? If so, it might be worth investigating that account he linked

user15026

2:37 AM

@murgatroid99 Things are being poked at :)

@AshleyNunn cool

Maybe we could just ask the person the account claims to be if it is their real account

Or in addition to trying to find out who actually made it

@murgatroid99 Oh, that guy. Good to know

Thanks

Does this mean we need to go back and question every developer answer on the site?

user15026

@GnomeSlice To some people, perhaps.
