Q: How to select character model in creation?

cplusplusmanI want to create a skeleton character in Soulcalibur 5. When I was looking around online I found someone that did create one: He says that he loaded a skeleton model at character creation and built it off of that. I did not know you could do that. So my question is how would I go about loading a...

@Frank i have a feeling they won't write anything until they finalize how it's supposed ot work
@GodEmperorDune So, great. We're glorified playtesters now.
@GodEmperorDune took a year for %100 ingress to become %10 pokemon go. "Complete release" will be decades later if they keep adding stuff this slow
@Frank i'm sure someone on reddit is already working on decompiling the latest apk as we speak
00:02
@GodEmperorDune That doesn't change the fact that we're essentially their guniea pigs.
@arda its about resource triage. the bugfix for "our server performance is fuct" comes before new features that increase server load
And people are paying through the nose for it.
@Frank that's their problem. it's a free game, you don't need to purchase anything
@GodEmperorDune At this rate, I never will. Not with these shenanigans.
@Frank afaict the only difference is that there are now pieces of grass next to the pokemon, and instead of being "nearby", they are "pokemon sightings"
00:03
@Dragonrage That's what I'm seeing.
@Frank then i guess its a good thing you aren't their target market
@Dragonrage yeah i was thinking of writing that up but it seemed hokey
im not entirely sure that the pieces of grass does anything to improve the UI. to me it doesn't really add anything
@GodEmperorDune they can hold about 3 times more serverload according to the blog post
i think the idea is it is supposed to add more immersion, but it doesn't really do that
00:05
@arda Or maybe just one extra person.
@Dragonrage i wanted to get somewhere with water to see if the background changes based on if they are on water or land
user15026
@arda This is so meaningless without scale
Because a graph without values conveys exactly nada.
@Frank not true, it was higher before and it was lower now
well if we accept that they didnt cheat on the graph, they can add in whatever they want
00:06
@Ash clearly, their queries take up less space now.
user15026
Possibly.
user15026
@GodEmperorDune How much lower? One person? :P
It's not nothing, if you assume (reasonably) that the bottom is 0
user15026
@arda I am not sure what you mean there
@Ash 2 bars :p
user15026
00:07
@murgatroid99 Yes but what's the top? 1? 5? 50?
A 2/3 decrease is very significant no matter what the scale is
@murgatroid99 assuming the bottom is actually 0
and its not a drop from 110 to 100 or something
user15026
@murgatroid99 Possibly
@GodEmperorDune that would be interesting. I don't live anywhere near the water however. so i cannot test it
user15026
but it could be like from 3 to 1
user15026
00:08
which isn't that much
@GodEmperorDune As people pointed out in comments elsewhere, QPS graphs always start at 0.
And if we want to assume they would start at some other value, why not just assume that they'd lie about any numbers if they did provide them?
@Ash 2, maybe?
user15026
@murgatroid99 That still doesn't tell us what the upper bound is
@Ash well yeah, but I'm doing my statement of "they can add in pretty much anything they want" by trusting that they didn't cheat
I think the top of that graph is on the scale of tens or hundreds of thousands
user15026
00:10
@arda I'm still confused
@murgatroid99 Because false information haunts you to the end of your company's days, while manipulating it, while sketchy, is way more acceptable.
@arda Squirrels per second
Niantic is a squirrel mass murderer
pokevision alone said that they had 16m CCUs (no source of this - read on reddit)
@Frank I don't remember the exact text they had around that image in the post they made
if i had to guess, the technical people wanted to put the numbers and someone in legal or security said NOPE
00:11

user image
@Frank That was from a larger post, which contained other information
That was the graph. Conveys what they want to tell, without providing specifics.
@murgatroid99 Nothing there about how much it helped, except to say, "We can now release our broken game in more countries around the world."
> we wanted to shed some more light on why we did this and why these seemingly innocuous sites and apps actually hurt our ability to deliver the game to new and existing players. The chart below shows the drop in server resources consumed when we blocked scrapers. Freeing those resources allowed us to proceed with the Latin America launch.
> In addition to hampering our ability to bring Pokémon GO to new markets, dealing with this issue also has opportunity cost. Developers have to spend time controlling this problem vs. building new features.
00:13
I mean, obviously they're not going to give specific numbers. They're probably confidential and financially sensitive
why do they made devs do the job of sysadmins?
A general scale would be nice, at least.
Giving graphs without providing a scale is useless.
Google doesn't release order-of-magnitude numbers on the servers we have, and yet nobody assumes Google is lying about everything
Well, some people do, but not for that reason
@arda performance issues usually mean multiple teams with different expertise are involved
00:15
DB people, hardware people, network, storage, app devs, and sysadmins
@murgatroid99 well the scale is clearly a googol. it's in the name and everything
@GodEmperorDune all they did was the equivalent of setting up iptables rules on firewalls to drop requests by cloud providers' ip ranges.
@Frank Seriously, you can guess the scale, to within an order of magnitude, by multiplying the game downloads by the update rate and the average amount each person plays each day. Which is all public
@arda i guarantee you they were looking at more than just that. plus even if that is the solution, the analysis to get to that point took many more teams
@murgatroid99 If zero is the bottom.
I don't believe that it is, though.
You're right, zero is probably the top and they're being intentionally misleading
user15026
00:17
@murgatroid99 Oh, I don't figure they're lying, but it's really hard to know the full impact without a scale
@Frank Assuming they didn't put zero at the bottom is basically a presupposition that the information is untrustworthy. In which case, there's no point assuming any of the information is accurate
user15026
@Unionhawk Suddenly it all makes sense.
user15026
@arda I strongly suspect it was not that simple, but what do I know
@Unionhawk Right, because taking a company's word for it turns out so well.
@murgatroid99 what proof do we have that niantic actually developed pokemon go? they could be a front for the drug cartels!
00:19
@murgatroid99 Graphs are inherently manipulative without scales.
user15026
@Frank Okay, this is sliding into weird almost paranoia territory
@Frank Only if you assume it's not layed-out reasonably
I believe them when they say they lowered the need for resources, but c'mon! I don't give them that level of trust, when they've demonstrated they don't deserve it.
@murgatroid99 Why would it be?
Yeah, maybe traffic actually went up when they blocked pokevision
@Frank Why wouldn't it be?
00:22
@Ash they probably dıd more, but all I've seen (on reddit and stuff) was that and them sending cease and desists
@murgatroid99 Because they're going to be trying to justify an unpopular decision.
user15026
@arda Yeah, but they're likely not going to tell everyone the full details, so people don't try to get around it
Remember, this is the same kind of company that originally said No Man's Sky would release tomorrow on PC
user15026
@Frank Okay so I was on your side re: wanting a scale until we kinda jumped into this weird "trust no dev" space
@Ash All I want is a scale.
I think that's reasonable.
@murgatroid99 I didn't say that. You did.
00:23
Yes, I did
I already said that I believe them when they said it lowered the amount of resources.
@Ash makes sense
Asking for a scale isn't wanting a peek at their exact numbers.
Nor their financial data.
Oh, oops, wrong quote

@Frank Seriously, you can guess the scale, to within an order of magnitude, by multiplying the game downloads by the update rate and the average amount each person plays each day. Which is all public
10 mins ago, by Frank
Giving graphs without providing a scale is useless.
You think it starts at zero. I don't.
00:25
@Frank If you're assuming they're being deliberately misleading, why would you believe them if they told you there was a 0 at the bottom?
@murgatroid99 Because that's actual information.
This is straight up lack of it.
@GodEmperorDune my house is on a lake and there's a magikarp here with grass next to it.
Allowing people to infer conclusions on vague data is the easiest way to mislead people.
so, based on this entirely scientific data point of 1 anecdote, I deem the grass "decorative"
@KutuluMike only magikarp would be dumb enough to hang out on land instead of in the water
00:28
@KutuluMike i've seen tentacuel nearby in grass and there is no water nearby
but i don't understand niantic's thinking
@Frank OK, from a different angle, why do you think the graph would be inaccurate if the bottom was zero?
"people are complaining about the 3 step nearby not working" "i know, let's put grass on the pokemon images to remove all confusion!"
It's hard to do redutcio ad absurdam when someone actually believes your proposed absurd claim
I was talking to some of my graphic design friends, and they think the UI/UX is terrible too.
00:29
@Frank you used pokescanner, right? They fixed it: reddit.com/r/pokemongodev/comments/4wsmjl/…
@Dragonrage i mean there is meh UI and there is UI that actively harms usability. this is the latter
The UI is decent, it's just minimalist and they intentionally hide a lot of stuff from the user for no apparent reason
"There are too many symbols/icons without explanation."
@murgatroid99 I wouldn't know. It would show a significant drop in resources.
@twobugs the sort order on the 3 step thing was backwards
it went left to right on the main map, but clicking into it went right to left, but it filled up left to right
00:34
@Frank OK. So your argument for why you think the graph is misleading is basically "It would be to Niantic's benefit for people to believe it isn't"?
@murgatroid99 No, my argument is that we don't know.
It's a lack of information.
@twobugs plus the grass shaking on the map that meant that pokemon were somewhere on the map unrelated to the location of the grass
And I think arguing that maybe traffic went up is silly
@Frank So, we have two choices. We either ignore the graph entirely, or we assume the bottom is zero, figure out the top from data like what this article has.
UX should be designed so that it is intuitive, or have instructions to guide a user through less intuitive parts of it. You have to assume that the user has no knowledge of how to use it, and make it so even the least proficient user can figure out what they are supposed to do.
00:41
Actually, that data probably would give us the lower line
Maybe it didn't go down by a ton, but it is definitely a safe assumption to say traffic went down.
Right. The change they made was simply stopping some traffic
user15026
@KutuluMike Aww, better throw it back in hte lake before it dries out
@Dragonrage I think that's a week or two old
00:45
@murgatroid99 possibly. I check in about every month or so
@Unionhawk No, by reducing the number of API calls traffic clearly went up
See, you say that like there's no possible way any reasonable person believes that's a possibility
OK, if you assume that the statistics in that article have stayed roughly the same over time, and looking at the current installation count, I estimate they were getting about 2 million QPS from Android users before they decreased the query rate
Which is actually so insane that I'm pretty sure those statistics can't still be accurate
Or the number of installations reported by the Play store is grossly exaggerated
Even if there's a factor-of-4 error in that calculation, 500kQPS is still a very large number
@fredley I heard this interesting NPR article about people lobbying for Jousting as an Olympic sport
(They're British Nationalists, because of course they are)
It sounds neat, but the people arguing against it had better arguments I think.
Making it an Olympic thing would necessarily kill some of the spirit of Jousting. There wouldn't be heavy sets of armor, it'd be lightweight kevlar stuff
01:00
@twobugs who even does jousting anymore? British nationalists?

I'd also like to take a second to make fun of US Men's Soccer for failing to qualify for Rio
They probably did that on purpose
Given all the Bad Stuff in Rio
01:04
soo for a yet another pokemon map thingy, I need a google maps key. Anyone knows which one is the one I need?
@twobugs no the US Men's team is just bad
@arda What do you need to do?
@murgatroid99 show map on my ho- embed api.
@Unionhawk Yes well
Nobody wants to play Soccer Americano
US Women's is one of the best

Something something feminism
Ron Paul 2016
@murgatroid99 Why are those the only options?
@twobugs A lot of credit probably goes to the women's teams of the 90s
Why can't I be skeptical of the graph, while thinking the text is probably pretty accurate?
@Frank Isn't that the first option?
@murgatroid99 No, your choices are either believe it all, or ignore it all.
01:13
Well, I was only talking about the graph
Why can't I be skeptical?
Not providing a scale is Marketing 101.
Simplest way to get someone to infer what you want, while not actually saying it.

Apparently you can just buy pieces of bismuth crystals off the Internet
I guess that's not too surprising given that you can even buy pieces of uranium
But the price is pretty good
Oh huh
Changes to nearby
If you can buy human breast milk off the Internet, nothing else surprises me.
@PrivatePansy I think they're one of more common minerals you can buy online because A) they're so pretty and B) growing them is a common DIY lab thing.
@Sterno It's the price really. Bismuth crystals look super cool
02:22
@Unionhawk World War 3!!! START!!!

@PrivatePansy I have wanted to purchase a chunk of Bismuth for so long because it is so damn pretty. I just.

No wait, wrong clipboard
user15026
I don't know what I would do with it
user15026
but it is just so pretty
It is. I think I might want to find a stand or something and put it on my desk
Also slightly scared about the shipping because it is quite brittle I think?
user15026
Yeah that's what I worry about as well, but I suspect they've taken that into consideraiton
I find it hilarious that the save file I named "WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS" is the one that I'm currently most successful with.
02:36
@Ash The shipping to Singapore is $2.45. That's suspiciously cheap
user15026
@PrivatePansy I dunno, then.
I mean, it doesn't have the most cims, but I haven't had anything close to budget issues.
Well, it's not too expensive.
I might want to buy one later on when my friend pays me back for something I bought for him

And I am tired of having to feel bad for it
I don't think I am physically capable of learning to code anymore.
@Ash I don't see how this is possible.
user15026
@Frank What do you mean
Coding requires a rather unique mindset to do.
It can't be a basic skill for everybody; not everyone can learn how to do it.
Sure, you can punch in code from paper or something, but that's not really coding.
user15026

It's not like an omg special snowflake elitist secret club, or anything, but it's like...I can make badass cupcakes and read books really fast and do other things that people in here can't do as well, and that's fine.
@Ash Everyone has their own skills.
user15026
I just get tired of this "you need to learn this even if it is hard or a struggle or whatever or you are a bad citizen of hte internet"
It doesn't make sense if what you do has to be a basic skill for life.
Me, I make awesome taco salad.
Can't really bake to save my life, though.

but I can alter cake recipes and other stuff all the time
user15026
(I like cake.)
@Ash I'm writing a medium on well, that exact issue of "Everyone needs to code durr hurr". Programming isn't for everyone. Basically, it takes time to understand how stuff works and even after time, you might not be able to get into the mindset and convert your ideas to codes and forcing yourself or others will just hurt you (and the person you are forcing - if there is one. )
The idea started from me seeing how many kids that attend our hour of codes continue to code (well, out of 400+ kids, only around 5 are seriously learning and coding)

Q: What is contained in the files that end with "wiz.digit(s)"?

slowball16I was recently looking in the files that pertain to NH343, and found some files that start with my computer's name. Some were easily identified as saved games because they have the character's name following. But there are quite a few more that have my computer's name followed by -wiz.0, -wiz...

@Ash some people are like that about everything.
user15026
There's so much more to tech than development
user15026
@arda I know, but there seems to be this increasingly pervasive idea that coding is something EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO
user15026
Especially in tech-focused areas (like my city)
user4704
03:17
Seems silly to me.
user15026
I just find it baffling.
user4704
I mean, I think it's a great idea to expose everybody to it in school and to foster interest in there there when it sparks (especially among certain segments of the population). And I think it's important that more people become more adept at thinking logically, which programming can help with for some.
user15026
@JoshPetrie Yeah, I totally agree with that. But the idea that everyone should know some Python or whatever language is du jour is weird
user15026
like okay, I've done JS and Python in CodeAcademy
user15026
and I have literally done nothing with it
user4704
03:19
But I don't know how to do a lot of things that I'm flat out not interested in doing. I don't know how to fix anything in my car.
user15026
it has not changed my life in any way
user4704
And I do not care one bit about that or think that everybody should know how to.
user4704
Likewise there's no reason why the nice folks I take my car to to get fixed need to know what Rust is. Except to get it off the wheels.
user15026
@JoshPetrie Other than pumping your own gas, maybe throwing your own washer fluid in, most car stuff we have, you know, mechanics for!
user4704
I try not to pump my own gas either.
user15026
03:21
@JoshPetrie Where I am you see fewer and fewer full serve stations, so I learned out of necessity
I agree, the notion that everyone needs to learn how to code is really ridiculous
user15026
Sorry for ranting.
I think everyone should have some basic computer education, but that's TOTALLY different
user15026
It just bugs me that every time I go "I want to be in tech" people throw coding practice stuff at me
user4704
@Ash Oh, true. I mean I try to strategically let somebody else drive the car when it gets near that time.
user15026
03:22
@JoshPetrie That's one way to solve that :)
@Ash That's extra silly, coding is just one part of tech
user15026
I take the bus most places so I avoid it entirely ;)
user15026
@twobugs Most people think tech = development
Well those people are dumb
And wrong
user15026
But I basically don't mind being in support, I just would rather eventually move away from rural residential end user support.
user15026
03:23
(aka I'd like to not be on the phone all the time as a thing)
Aside from programmers any project is going to have stuff like tech support, project management, UI/UX designers, etc.
Can those people code if they want to? Sure, but that's not their job
user4704
Want to be a producer or QA tester?
user4704
(and move to Seattle?)
Honestly I think you'd make a good UI or UX designer @Ash because you seem good at listening to what people want and understanding it
But I could see you being a good project manager as well
user15026
03:25
I like explaining things and writing stuff about how things work and helping people learn to use stuff
@twobugs +1 on that
user15026
@JoshPetrie Sadly, the joys of brain surgery and other medical jibberjabber make me an expensive American so it's not likely.
user15026
I wish I could get a job that would like...let me human Google for people. I'm good at finding info, breaking it down, and giving it to you in ways that make sense.
user15026
(Except when my brain fails like when it took me 5 minutes of going "the guy, with the stuff, who writes the things" to try to recall Neil Gaiman's name)
One thing I think you'd be good at would be writing documentation that users would actually find useful
Because a lot of documentation is absolutely horrible
The downside being it's in such a bad state you sometimes need to have worked on the project itself to understand it
user15026
03:29
@twobugs I've done that a couple times at work (creating docs to explain how to set up email etc) and people have responded well to it
@Ash Cool! That seems like it would really play to your strengths
user15026
My problem is a lot of documentation projects that want free help that I could stick my name on for proof of concept are code related things that go swish right over my pretty head
@Ash for that and some more technical info (as in development lingo - possible without knowing coding), you could be a good project manager like twobugs said
Also, no one should be forced to use php. That's just evil.

My problem is I know I'd be good at these things, I'm just utter crap at having the stuff on paper to actually convince other people

@Ash Yup, for a lot of it the documentation is terrible so you would pretty much need someone to translate it for you

(Because I went to school for things like English and stuff)
That's not even a coding vs non-coding thing, that's a you don't already know how the project works so it just sounds like gibberish
I experience that a lot trying to use some of these tools people produce
I wish I knew why my phone decided I need to charge it multiple times a day now
@twobugs android?
Yes, battery breakdown just says "Android OS" is using about 70% of my power
if so, try Settings -> Battery. I always forget about it and it helps alo-
@twobugs hmm, android.se might help more about that

I'll ask if it keeps up, the Samsung help stuff is extremely unhelpful
"Try optimizing your battery settings!" I already did "Well it might go away at some point"

Q: Pokemon Go won't let me log into my account

J. ConteI have an email address I used for 2 accounts, but it won't let me log into the other one. What do I do?

For people who like food. I am currently grilling chicken. It is very thin pieces though, so it cooks extremely quickly.
Like I throw it on with the grill on high, sear one side, flip it and sear the other side and it is done.

No don't make me hungry it's midnight it should not be food time
Hah, when I go visit my friends in Texas, we make 2am runs to like Denny's and ihop and stuff

Q: Pokemon Go doesn't work with data, or not well at least.

Melvyn SimYesterday and everyday before that, I (obviously using data) was going around catching them all, but this morning, I went out again, but this time, after the latest update, pokemon go working with data lasted for about 10 mins or so and suddenly it crashed, when I tried to go back in it did...

Yes but eating food at all hours does not help the weight loss :p
@Ash this is true. I have a pretty good diet plan if you are interested in seeing it. It is very strict, but healthy and will make you drop weight quite quickly.

Q: Way to make scoreboards appear with the /gamerule commandBlockOutput false command activated

ShadowSprinterSo I'm making a map that uses an aesthetic scoreboard. It's represent a machine Scanning your area, and the scoreboard quickly counts to 100 using a repeat command block. There's just one problem. During the process I have a /say command on a loop. And I want you to read it, but it's drowned ...

@Ash maybe copy edit the SO docs stuff and you'll sort of pick up the coding terms by osmosis?

Q: Can I change my nickname by spending money?

h0ch5tr4355In the new Update of Pokémon Go you are able to change your nickname once for free. Is it possible to change the nickname after that with the use of money? (My guess is a no, otherwise they would notify you probably due to the intent of earing money, but I am asking anyway to become sure.)

Q: Can I change my trainer name?

Q: How do I spawn a zombie wearing a helmet?

UnknownI want to spawn a zombie wearing a helmet but every time I try it, it ends up holding the helmet instead of wearing it. What command do I use to make the zombie wear the helmet instead of hold it, if I'm playing version 1.10?

Q: Does "Battles Won" accumulate per Pokestop?

But I put my Pokemon in a Gym and immdietly I saw I already had 1 battle won, but no battle had taken place since I put it in the Gym. Does this number reset ever? I did hav...

Q: Is it possible to prevent Bioshock Infinite from pausing when window loses focus?

Petr HudečekI'm running Bioshock Infinite in a fullscreen windowed mode so I can interact with translation websites when I don't understand something in the game. However, when I alt-tab out of the game, the game pauses so I can no longer read what I was hoping to translate. Is there a way to stop the game ...

Q: What are some useful controls in No Man's Sky so far? PS4

CabbitWe figured out that Sprint is R3, which we are very unhappy about. The tutorial is a little wonky and goes too fast sometimes so I think we are missing button tutorials. Can someone gives us a list of useful controls so far?

Q: What happens when one reaches the center of the universe?

C_BIn No Man's sky, what happens when one reaches the center? anything significant?

@MadMAxJr And of course @fredley has committed. He commits to about everything ever.
@GodEmperorDune Questions that were asked before it was released stay closed AFAIK.
@Arperum that seems off since it is available now
but ok
how can one be an "Academic or Research-Level Student" of what if questions?
> "This will get most of the What-If questions off Worldbuilding.SE."
lol
> "I have two kids, I'm an expert regarding "Why" and What if" style of questions."

Q: What if Worldbuilding banned What If questions?

ArtOfCodeWorldbuilding, it seems, is not a What If site. So let's start making that happen. If we don't want these questions around, then I think the first step is with close reasons. We currently have an Idea Generation close reason, which there are mixed opinions about. Personally, I think it's actual...

Q: What if there were a What If?

nitsua60I think it'd be nice to have a place to steer some of the most-obviously off-topic "What If," as I mentioned earlier. Turns out, there was a proposal in Area 51 for some type of speculative-yet-science-based Stack. Curious as to its fate, I sent this e-mail to the community managers: Hello al...

@GodEmperorDune that would give people an incentive to ask early so they get dibs on the question and its reputation
The goldrush still exists obviously
@GodEmperorDune So they are suddenly not horribly broad on the other site? I'm confused.
@Arperum yeah it looks like they kicked them out of scope, not that they are too broad

Q: Is Worldbuilding a What If Site?

ArtOfCodeA few months back, my participation on this site dropped heavily for various reasons, most of them real life commitments. Now I've come back, and there's something I've noticed. When I left, the site was filled with great stuff about worldbuilding. Information on specific topics, such as the mak...

06:40
@GodEmperorDune That's reasonable.
whether what if turns into the new lifehacks... that probably depends on how they meta it
