Q: [Minecraft][Python] scoreboard setdisplay list is shows correctlyper character. Can i make my sidebar show correctly per character as well?

Veritas0923So I've been writing a script over the last little while in Python that interacts with the Minecraft console. I'm basically trying to make a scoreboard based currency system that is world independent and doesnt require command blocks. I'm having trouble here with the setdisplay sidebar. I often ...

But they were bought with University money so

@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment the name of this site will not be at all contentious, ever.
user15026
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment I feel like we tried this but maybe that was the sexuality site I am mixing it with
user15026
"Are bisexual people allowed to have multiple partners" okay there is so MUCH WRONG with that questiomn
user15026
Like....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
exactly
user15026
00:41
I don't even know where to start
user15026
I mean okay, yes, the site would be used to educate people
user15026
but aaaaa it just makes me froth with anger
user15026
allowed? wtf I don't need a permission form
user15026
breathes
user15026
a) poly relationships are not just for bi people, anyone can be in a poly relationship
user15026
00:43
b) there's no "allowed" or "not allowed", its either "hey we are being safe sane and consensual" (nicked that from the BDSM community but shhhh it works) or "nope that's cheating"
user15026
sigh
user15026
Sorry for the rant, I just....get very tired of these sorts of questions
removing the "allowed" part of the question, it's still POB
user15026
@ToxicFrog grins Just in time :D
user15026
00:44
@GodEmperorDune Oh totally
This is the one time I regret having NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment on ignore, I think
But wtf
POB?
user15026
the answer is "well did you like discuss this with your partner(s)? is there consent? discussion? communication?
both of those questions don't seem like SE style questions at all
user15026
@ToxicFrog Primarly opinion based
Aah
(also, hi! welcome to the weekend!)
(expect pancit bihon in your mailbox next week!)
user15026
00:45
(For reference, theres an LGBTQ+ proposal, there are two questions, one is not tooooo terrible but the other one, well, I'm frothing)
user15026
@ToxicFrog I don't know what this is but generally mailboxed food is delicious food
user15026
Okay, now that I've breathed and drank some tea
@Ash it has the same problem of "accepted by whom"? some people may be ok with it, others not
what are you going to do, pull up the question on your phone if someone asks you not to call them "queer"?
We're making sisig tomorrow, which means we will have delicious sisig broth, which means pancit bihon needs to happen
(for those not following the link, it's a filipino rice noodle dish with chicken and sausage)

Trump says "we have a lot of ppl standing outside" and he "broke the all time record" in this arena. There are rows… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/858473918235111425
@Ash did you notice the third question that was later removed?
We live in the dumbest possible timeline
@Unionhawk i'm going to see sen warren in a few hours
@KutuluMike that one is pretty fuct, tbh
user15026
@NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment deep breath While I appreciate the fact that being queer or any other non-heteronormative sort of thing is interesting/confusing/difficult/unfamiliar/helptherearespiderseverywhere, I think my main problem with sites of this ilk is that it treats people who are different as zoo animals, intentionally or otherwise, and while I understand the need for resources and safe spaces and finding those like yourself and reaching out and whatever...sometimes it is DAMN EXHAUSTING...
@GodEmperorDune nice
00:48
> Are transgender people gay?
^-- this will not go well.
user15026
to have to explain/justify my existence or the existence of people like me.
@KutuluMike oh boy
user15026
@KutuluMike sometimes. Sometimes they're not. Sometimes SO MUCH OF THIS IS NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS
3
@Ash not to mention the straightsplaining
the Real problem with the site is that it treats everyone of a given sexual preference as exactly the same
user15026
00:49
like I think that's what I hate
user15026
who I am attracted to and want to bump naked bits with is between me and any potential partner
Aaw, I don't have enough rep on A51 to do things yet
user15026
none of the rest of it needs any one else's input or discussion
user15026
@Unionhawk how which
user15026
00:50
@KutuluMike eeeeergh yeah
It's a 51 rep base and a 100 association bonus
@Ash i disagree, i think the internet at large deserves to know, therefore please mention it on a google indexed website
@Unionhawk I only have 101 (and I get a JS error when I try to see details!)
@ToxicFrog yeah the js is broken on a51 for me too
user15026
00:51
@ToxicFrog it sounds AMAZING. I can't wait for it to hit my mailbox :)
user15026
I'm sorry for getting yelly, Bridge
@Ash entirely justified yelling though
(Also, does replying to NewlyOpenedProposalsforEntertainment actually do anything, or is it just so people can easily see which message you're responding to in here?)
user15026
@ToxicFrog nah, it's just a bot, doesn't do anything except tie my yelling to the appropriate subject
@ToxicFrog the latter
00:53
@ToxicFrog if enough people swear at it within 24 hours the proposal is closed.
user15026
@KutuluMike starts a new discussion
hugs @ash
hrm. just out of curiosity, how do you get "rep" on Area51?
user15026
I reaaaaally hate quoting Ariaste for reasons, but like this post is really all the relationshipish advice you need.
also, why is my username different on area51 and meta.area51?
user15026
00:58
Like most of the answers to this proposal will be "don't be dick to people" and "you don't get to decide that" and "there is no universal answer" and "that is noneyabusiness. batnugget."
@Ash it kind of breaks down at "tell the teacher and ask for a new one" IMO but yeah that's actually solid
Re lgbtq.se, I think it could in a completely different universe be a really useful resource where people can learn things in a helpful Q&A format that some people find more useful or accessible that the profusion of blog posts and suchlike that already exist on these subjects
But in this universe I suspect it's going to be filled with, well, questions like the example.
@KutuluMike suggested question upvotes
user15026
@ToxicFrog yeah, it's not perfect but it works well enough
user15026
@ToxicFrog yeah, I can see a world where it might work
user15026
That world is not this one.
01:02
i just don't think the SE format is the right fit
voting + emotionally charged things = lots of frustration
@KutuluMike I'm having so much difficulty answering this
It is actually such a simple answer (this one, specifically), but explaining it is hard.
@Avery nah, already answered. "sometimes, sure."
that's all the explanation you need
not to mention signing up for it is going to be weird. how is one an enthusiast/prosumer LGBTQ?
user15026
@GodEmperorDune The only way I can see is either a) you study it academically or b) you are it, which means outing yourself, and well yeah okay I've done that here in a variety of ways.....it's not comfortable to HAVE to.
01:08
@Ash right
and where do the "woke" allies fit in?
are you going to card me at the door?
user15026
Yeah, exactly
user15026
and like also I worry about the other side of that - allies should totes be able to hang but also like...ally voices shouldn't trump #ownvoices.
@Ash that's amazing
user15026
Aww, thanks <3
@Avery they have the best words, terrific words
@Ash yes, i am definitely down to learn more but then i don't want to end up straightsplaining
but it's not necessarily fair to the lgbtq population to be like "yo, educate everyone individually now on top of everything else you have to do"
user15026
01:11
aww, damn, y'all are starring the thing. blushes
user15026
@GodEmperorDune this this this
user15026
(Deleted the "I am these things and I am tired of explaining them" comment above because, well, comfort level and all)
user15026
Not sure I need that giant list chilling in Google's belly for eternity
Simply put: Not everyone is of the same gender they look like. Number of genders isn't exactly two. Not everyone of one gender likes "opposite" gender. Not everyone has to be in a relationship with one person at a time, given that all parties are consenting for it. Not every person will stay on one sexuality forever.
user15026
@Avery tl;dr it's all a damn spectrum and it's all subject to change
user15026
01:14
:D
@Ash My tl;dr: Don't assume and feel free to ask.
@Ash I feel like there has to be some checklist to determine if one is a polkadotted squirrel
"people are complicated, yo"
user15026
DISTRACTION: Me and @WorldEngineer finished Portal 2 co-op today (well except Art Therapy but shrug) AND WE NEVER YELLED AND NO ONE CRIED
@Avery there are a series of spectrums, all orthogonal to one another
01:15
@Ash You don't have to justify, validate, or explain yourself to us. We all love you for who you are.

@Unionhawk are you fuzzy with four legs and a giant tail and relatively tiny and fast and like trees and acorns and do you taste good in pot pie
Argh. For some reason the relay is no longer able to log in to Stack.

@MBraedley well fuck now I'm crying yo
user15026
@ToxicFrog nooooooo
user15026
Can you still login? You're not getting like a too many requests from this IP lockout?
01:16
@Ash Quick, turn on the hockey game! Of shit, it's in intermission! What do I do?
user15026
(I get that sometimes, I don't know why)
user15026
@MBraedley crap oh no we are out of distractions
@Ash I can still log in fine in the browser. Just logging in from python doesn't work.

Q: Anyone know what this bug is?

DragonrageI found it in Southern California on the fringes of the Mojave Desert. They seem to have nests similar to ant hills but don't look like any ant I've ever seen. They seem to have shown up within the past week or so and have their nests near some big red ants (Camponotus castaneus I believe) though...

weird bug i found today
01:17
@Ash Pens and Caps, and no score yet.
@MBraedley oh that I could dump all my stars on a single message
user15026
@MBraedley giggles I know that's Penguins and Capitals but I am picturing like a blue ink pen and it's lid
Pens vs. Caps. Tonight. @NBCSN. #StanleyCup https://t.co/bOQMxiuLZb
user15026
Alright, time to tackle this giant six puzzle crossword scratchoff lottery card I got the other day. Maybe I will win all the money. (Oh no my gambling addition is showing again, better not talk about it like I did on lifehacks that one time)
(it's really too bad that the onebox for twitter doesn't include pics)
user15026
01:19
@MBraedley yessssss I am not the only one
This was happening before when I was developing it, but for some reason changing my password on stack fixed it?!
user15026
@ToxicFrog strange!
bridge. it's 4:20 (legalize ranch). We're nearly ready to ship this projec, but there's a slight annoyance with this image, and we just can't spot why. Help us out (please).
@ToxicFrog fresh cookies
01:21
@GodEmperorDune ?
user15026
@Avery the cards and the 2 aren't even with each other
the card image on left and the number is perfectly centered but it just doesn't seem like it is. It's the worst ugh. (I was going to send a long message but I saw that it was 4:20 and decided to use the meme potential)
@ToxicFrog changing your password will trigger new authentication values in the websites' cookies
@GodEmperorDune the thing is, it doesn't share a cookie jar with the browser, it (should) make exactly the same requests to log in that the browser does
01:22
That can sometimes fix login issues
user15026
@Avery yeah, it doesn't look balanced. Mind you I have horrible issues with blue colours shifting when I look at them, so
So if I can log in with the browser it makes no sense that I can't log in with this
@ToxicFrog there's also with things happening server side and a new password will usually kick out the old stuff and generate fresh
01:24
I've used APIs where website has diff timeout values from automated access
user15026
@Avery okay, they're all not quite in line but the blues are worse for me which I suspect is my blue shifting problem
It would also help if the library I'm using actually passed the error it got from the website back rather than just logging an error and returning a dead handle
@Avery it's an optical illusion thing , try reversing the black and white cards
@GodEmperorDune right, that's what the initial alpha had, and it looked like it was OK... BRB trying that out.
Game is now 1-1. Pens short handed goal, followed by a Caps PP goal.
user15026
01:29
@MBraedley I am trying to decide who I want to win
I know who I want
user15026
Okay, neat, googling "pens roster" gets me a nice scrollable name/picture list on google as first result
user15026
hm, neither team has very many people I know but I'll pick Caps because I'm kinda shrug about Crosby
@Ash But he's Nova Scotian! I have to cheer for him!
Also, I was a Lemieux fan back in the day.
user15026
@MBraedley Oh, that's right
user15026
01:32
But me and you are kinda used to being on opposite sides of hockey so why not continue that ;)
@GodEmperorDune Yup, did some quick testing on gimp (and destroyed antialiasing) and it looks better, will notify the designer/developer/part time polkadotted squirrel/gamedesigner
Ok, relay is working again and I think I've fixed the issues with unicode names, except there's no-one in the channel with a unicode name to test with right now.

Q: Could Someone Create for me a Geometry Dash Level?

deadroryI wish to make a level with a soundtrack that I created. However, I am unable to do this due to being unable to upload my track. I am unable to access newgrounds to upload it. Also, I cannot change any files, for I am using mobile. Could someone make a level, to their liking, using my soundtrack?...

user15026
@Lazers2.0 Yeah, how about I helpfully help you not to have your email all over the internet, as per this meta post because I suspect you may regret putting your email out there.
Whee, PII

@GodEmperorDune so they did an audiobook of Hamilton: The Revolution and of course LMM reads part of it and I waaaant it but it's $30 :(
user15026
Also man, the Hamiltome makes a terrible PDF
I got the 5e Dungeon Master's Guide!
I'll be buying any future books on Amazon though because my comics store sells them for full price.
Whereas Amazon has them for 50% off.
@Yuuki nice!
wait you aren't @Ronan nvm he probably has it or uses the pdf
02:35
do they still have official PDFs?
I thought WotC stopped selling PDF versions back in 4e.

Q: How to get the blood elder scroll?

Ben mcwhirterSeptimus has died, I've talked to that weird thing and I've left Septimus's outpost but I dont have the elder scroll. I've looked everywhere online and it says I should have it or I should buy it off of Urag but he doesnt have it. Can anyone help me or should I go to my last save whic is hors beh...

@Avery I got it because I'm thinking about getting into DMing myself.
so, "no" then? :)
official... idk
It's under Open SRD or smth
02:40
The rules are.
Flavor, lore, and most content unnecessary to gameplay are not.
@Avery the books aren't openSRD. that's a separate document that's just rules and class/race tables.
ah
I'm gonna guess those PDF's are just someone scanning physical copies of the books.
For example, monsters and extra classes are not Open SRD because they give you the rules make your own.
I tried to but the 4e books online and I got a PHB and DMG but after that they seemed to pull the PDFs from their store
02:42
@KutuluMike if so, it's better than any scan I ever saw
Basically, they give you "how to play" for free but they sell supplements.
but that was years ago.
they may have figured out that it didn't actually help.
are they searchable? that's usually a clue.
not 100% guaranteed, but searchable PDFs build from tex source will be more reliable that OCR'd ones
they are scans, but very high quality
the official ones I got from WotC were fully searchable.
it was rendered text, not page images
user15026
I've found 5e pdfs that are searchable >.>
user15026
02:44
I cannot speak to their legitmacy
ooh nice
i was just curious. it was a big deal when they stopped selling PDFs. if they started again I might buy them.
user15026
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff I HATE RECAPTCHA
user15026
....what the fuck
user15026
so I enter the words in the box, press enter

nope wrong
user15026
I try a few more times
user15026
nope wrong
user15026
finally I enter it, and then manually click done

that works

fffffff

someone didn't filter out enter

All I wanted was to log into Neopets so I had something I could mindlessly click :/
Local paper published a letter criticizing "Hate Has No Home Here" signs. This response from a *7th grader* is 🔥. https://t.co/dTJWel2azV
user15026
those last couple sentences
user15026
<3
> Finally, if you are going to say signs exhibit 'snowflake sensitivity', take a moment to think about how you are writing an angry letter to a newspaper about a lawn sign.
++
03:08
I haven't thought about Neopets in ages... last time I tried to log in, it required your birthday in addition to username and password. And younger me was a clever little shit who entered values for the birthday that were +/- 1 of their actual value
oh the joys of trying to write batch files from the random stuff you find online
I want to create a zipfile and add the files from a directory to it
Should be easy right? yeah, but everyhting breaks on filenames with spaces :(
If you're hardcoding file names can't you just escape the spaces with backslash?
oooooo
maybe
cept I don't know how hahaha
I'm trying to write a script, that for a lsit of folders, it does many actions
there's a folder, and a IP, those are the two predecided variables, the other one is the date.
Basically I need newbie guide to batch files, as I've forgotten so much
> He [Trump] blamed the constitutional checks and balances built in to US governance. “It’s a very rough system,” he said. “It’s an archaic system … It’s really a bad thing for the country.”
pls
pls
Right, step 1: setup net use, done
So can i some how do an array in batch files?
Each IP, as I said, has a specific file path to save the file to
user20683
FOR /F "tokens=1-5" %%A IN ("This is a short sentence") DO @echo %%A %%B %%D
@WorldEngineer OK then, it's not an array I want ;D
If I put like IP, path, IP, path....
could I tell it to only use the IP's for a FOR loop?
user20683
@djsmiley2k you want an associative array
ah yes
user20683
aka a Hash or a Dictionary
dear lord
and now my head hurts
user20683
03:28
@djsmiley2k still better than TCL
otherwise I can just call robocopy 13 times seperately
or call a function for robocopy, 13 times and hand code the path 13 times..
/me doesn't really care
#Wikipedia https://t.co/OrBFiDgHxz
what a mess
ave.zone/truth block me too i guess
@WorldEngineer Ok lets not bother with that, too confusing :D
I run the 13 robocopys. Once each one finishes, it should then run a compression command, and then remove the oldest file....
user20683
@Avery What does this have to do with gaming?
@WorldEngineer bridge isn't just gaming related, but it usually has news, politics, coding and pet topics discussed along with gaming topics.

user15026
No worries :)
user15026
Also I saw you started Kids of Appetite, I hope you like it :)
user15026
I did :)
@Ash I realized :) I wouldn't normally consider it because nicola yoon's review is on the cover (and you probably know how I felt after the cliffhanger on "the sun is also a star"), but seeing your recommendations, yeah, i"ve started it.
user15026
@Avery hahaha yeah I almost didn't read it at first because of that but I'm glad I did it anyway
03:58
I now have a clip-on desk lamp and it is perhaps the best purchase I've made this month.
don't judge from cover, I guess :)
somebody send help
can you pass variables to a batch script?
@djsmiley2k yes
ok, how do you capture them within the script?
START CMD /C CALL "DEEMING.bat" blah ^& PAUSE
user15026
@Avery haha yeah that's true
04:00
That'd pass 'Blah' as an argument right?
./idk.sh test could get test with $1
oh
you mean batch
Oh %1, %2 etc
nice.
Ah crap
the arguments have spaces in em D:
/me tries passing in " "

it's 6am!
I guess that if I wanted to stop playing this videogame I should've between 8 and 3 hours ago
user15026
@badp You should be sleeping! Hell, I should be sleeping!
@Ash that ship has sailed
user15026
04:05
I feel like Avery should be sleeping but maybe they already did that? (For some reason the Turkey time difference does not stick in my skull)
user15026
@badp Do you have things that need doing? Or can you sleep through some of Sunday?
user15026
worries about people getting sleep
@Ash my todo list has - buy a bathrobe (surprisingly difficult), - watch some SPOHRTS, - play more videogames
I should be sleeping
7am
user15026
Dear Bridge get some sleep love me
04:07
my best bet at getting regular sleep for the rest of the week is to commit to keep on keeping on
so that I won't have any trouble falling asleep tonight.
user15026
I guess that makes sense
I tried other things, they didn't work as well
user15026
sends you caffeine in an IV drip
I have a moka machine and a bunch of teabags :D
user15026
That will do I think
04:11
wtf
why is 'CALL' in my script calling it over and over again
echo "Starting backup copy fo...."

REM Store DATE as data (why not date?)
for /f "tokens=1,2,3 delims=/- " %%x in ("%date%") do set d=%%x%%y%%z
set data=%d%
this keeps repeating over and over again o_O
DO I need to exit the foor loop some how?
START CMD /K CALL "robocopy.bat"
i call it, with 2 arguments, it never finishes :/
@djsmiley2k I'll get some hate, but check out powershell
it does suck, but it's kinda more predictable
arugh no
OH ffs
I had 'START CMD /K CALL...
that's never gonna work is it :P
oh wtf, you've got to use START "" CALL to get around the problem of cmd not working with spaces in the path
urgh[]OUFHA9OUGBW[IUG
