I'm not sure about this one:

blender.stackexchange.com/review/reopen/11215

Something says reopen, but It sin't exactly clear.

NoviceInDisguise

@GiantCowFilms I'm not sure about it either . . .

BTW, is it just me, or do we not have many Python gurus on Blender.SE?

Was a solution ever found for:

Q: Casting shadows on baked objects

I have a scene with objects and lighting, and all the objects have textures/shadows/etc... baked via cycles. For example, the ground plane texture: Now I can set all the objects with their baked textures as shadeless and they look fine. But I can't get the player object to cast shadows (usi...

GiantCowFilms

00:26

@NoviceInDisguise Yes, when in doubt open, since its really nasty to have your questions closed.

So I voted to reopen

NoviceInDisguise

Exactly.

I did too.

why are the toes and and kneecap moving when they are not painted?

Vader

10:03

@gandalf3 come here

work your magic

gandalf3

10:55

I have been summoned.

@Vader Try enabling Show zero weights in the options tab.

I suspect you may need to go over them with the subtract brush

Vader

11:51

hmm

When I enable zero weights I notice a change

but the subtract brush is not working

is there a to flood the entire weight paint?

Vader

12:06

Looks like I needed to have multipoint enabled

nvm, still broken

question time

X-27

15:25

I got your .blend and found the problem

please refer to your question's new answer (by me) and feel free to vote it up+accept.

GiantCowFilms

Hello @X-27 want to play your smile map?

X-27

Sure

tell me when to join

GiantCowFilms

ready!

X-27

i thought it was kinda a cool idea, maybe not so much fun to play in, but still neat

GiantCowFilms

ready

GG

X-27

15:32

:-)

smile is a fun map

GiantCowFilms

gg

ready

X-27

un like some of the other maps, you constantly need to be moving troops around to win

???

GiantCowFilms

gg

X-27

why did you leave?

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 I was dead

X-27

15:35

i was going to win again...

exactly

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 You'd already won

gg

X-27

:-)

GiantCowFilms

I knocked over my king

gg

that is a fun map

X-27

which one is your favorite?

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 PlantMapN

X-27

15:36

of all of the ones currently made

GiantCowFilms

play agian

(ready)

@X-27 PlanetMapN

or Sweet and Simple

X-27

dont be shy, be tactless, my feelings are made of titanium, as in can not break them

What??/

you dont like my maps???

WAAAAAAa :*(

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 I do

Usally, I look at you're maps and say, what could be better, then make it

X-27

(wipes a tear away while blowing nose) ok, ok i understand

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Nuclear Apoclypise is good

X-27

15:38

:-)

GiantCowFilms

It just is the same playing against you every time

and Many moons is the most epic looking map

X-27

yah, i win. it is fun

but it would only work with three players

GiantCowFilms

take a look: github.com/GiantCowFilms/InterPlanetGame-Maps/issues/16

@X-27 Yes, but there should be a third victim some time

X-27

oh yah, when i was uploading the .blends to github, for some reason it also wanted to push another copy of many moons.

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 you should probably watch the repo

@X-27 Is it differnt

X-27

15:39

they are both the same

GiantCowFilms

It can't have a space in the name

@X-27 Okay, I'll clean it up

X-27

k

which do you like better, smile, snowman, or new horizons?

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Smile

I just think you could start with less troops, like 35

X-27

all of them are essentially, Race to capture un-occupied planets, then annihilate GiantCo- I mean the opponent

GiantCowFilms

:D

and all nuke iis see who can get the most on thier small planet

X-27

15:42

no, doesn't have to be small planet, you can concentrate your forces anywhere,

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Ture, but in that map, the small planet is the best spot

X-27

if you put them on your big planet, you might be able to send them easier due to the larger clicking surface.

now, while you may think that attacking first at the big planet kills 100 of your troops

it does.

GiantCowFilms

Hmm

X-27

what you dont know is something that helps me win

When you capture a large planet before the oponent

and even if you are battling it out heavily

GiantCowFilms

By the way, I added more colors the the standard, I wan't a 5-player map

wihout a big middle planet

X-27

15:44

and killing hundreds of troops

GiantCowFilms

github.com/GiantCowFilms/InterPlanetGame-Maps/issues/14

X-27

the planet that you are occupying is generating troops for you.

You want orange and purple planets also?

doesnt that add up to six players?

GiantCowFilms

No, just 5

I'm doing the 6 player

X-27

adding the accepted colors to the script

and the materials pannel

GiantCowFilms

I've added them to the script, lemme update the Maker.blend and the script

X-27

15:49

k

although i already put them in the accepted colors part and added the materials with the same hexadecimal number.

did i miss anything?

GiantCowFilms

Let me check

X-27

so you want this 5 player map similar to many moons, only for 5 players?

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Maybe, but wihtout the big planets

X-27

Big tip. the way to kill someone is to send a big army to there main planet. that stops there troop generation from that planet, and it generates them for you

so you want them all pretty evenly sized?

dont put that on the main page

i would lose

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 YEs

You read the issue, right

Be sure to assign it to your self and close it when you're done

X-27

15:56

what issue?

GiantCowFilms

github.com/GiantCowFilms/InterPlanetGame-Maps/issues/14

That one

X-27

yah, i read that already

i think your going to like the general layout of this map

GiantCowFilms

asign yourself to it

X-27

sure, right after i find the button

GiantCowFilms

Its on the left, under the lables

X-27

15:59

I think you might have to, no button for me

what is the biggest planet i can use?

20, 40?

GiantCowFilms

Here @X-27 I've given you access to the repo, but please make all youre changes in a branch

X-27

found it.

Thanks for push acsess

(if thats what it is called)

GiantCowFilms

Rember to make changes in branch I'm doing too now

@X-27 I made you a branch to use

X-27

awesome

can i at least put a small planet in the middle?

i like middle planets....

GiantCowFilms

No, they are to disracting, everyone goes right at them

X-27

16:04

even if it is the minimum radius?

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Fine if it is min

X-27

ok :-)

can each player have one planet at size 40?

the other normal ones will be size 20

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Okay

just don't make it a massive shoot out, there should be some building required

X-27

OK, i'll put some un-occupied here and there

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 About half un occupied

X-27

16:07

k

do you want this map compatible for two - five players?

or just 5

the only thing I'd be changing is the placement of the colors

so green is opposite blue, etc

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Just 5

remver, 5 even slices of pie

X-27

k

um... no actually

5 even slices

not of pie

:-)

GiantCowFilms

:D

X-27

16:22

should i adjust the size?

to fit the shape?

it doesn't need to be a rectangle, it could be a square, similar to many moons

GiantCowFilms

Yes, make square.

X-27

k

GiantCowFilms

My new map rocks.. 6 player hexagon

X-27

yes, it rocks

but....

maybe you should look at the .blend in solid or textured After you accept my fix to it

you have it so pink owns green's starting group

GiantCowFilms

That is the point

Did you change the hex map?

I see... you fixed the json to right?

Are you ready for pull?

X-27

16:37

yes.

user image

if you decide to keep it the way it is, i'll be pink and you can be green

GiantCowFilms

LOL

No, fixing.

X-27

I already idd

uploaded the new .json and new.blend

GiantCowFilms

by the way, if you copy the json into json lint (find by google) it will make it right

Yes, I mean pulling

github is wining about this pull

X-27

ok

just use my version of the file, mine has the correct colors

GiantCowFilms

Yup

X-27

16:40

how do you like my 5 player map?

By the way, it really has nothing to do with star wars, it just seemed like a cool name, because it is star shaped.

GiantCowFilms

Darrgg I'm trying to pull this but I can't seem to figure the console out

@JhonB were is the $20?

ahhem

X-27

Humm?

Money$$$$????

GiantCowFilms

Thats what we charge to get him past the bouncer, wich is about to through him out

JohnB

user image

X-27

OOO i'll use it in the next game

GiantCowFilms

16:48

@JohnB Thanks

You're safe

X-27

Hey- @GiantCowFilms you can have a premium currency to buy a higher troop generation percentage. And you can use bit coins,monopoly money, or bacon as a payment method!!!!!

Noooo - WE CAN USE UNICOINS!!!!!!!

JohnB

whew

X-27

That is it!

we can use Unicoins!!!

and you can mine them to get more!!!

it is brilliant!!!

A: Armature moving points for no apparent reason

You can fix this problem easily. go into the vertex groups menu, select the vertex group There could be two solutions to this problem. Solution #1 For the bone that is causing your problem, go into edit mode for your character's object, select only the vertices you don't want to be effected by t...

my latest answer Is cortect-

no up votes and not accepted

:*(

GiantCowFilms

I take bitty

@X-27 I was acctaully think about that for the final game with bitcoin or paypal

X-27

there, edited it to make a little more sense

GiantCowFilms

16:53

See if anyof you are more competitve than tight fisted

X-27

no unicoins or bacon?

:-(

:*(

GiantCowFilms

Do you know how to do the pull, I've givin up

X-27

um...

GiantCowFilms

Digital Bacon

@CharlesL We've got git problems!!! HELP!

X-27

awesome

digital bacon

I think there should be two pending pull requests...

GiantCowFilms

16:57

Okay

There isn't panics

X-27

i cant find a button either...

um... maybe we can just wait?

GiantCowFilms

No, working on the conosle

Maybe your python elves might know the solution

X-27

lol

probably not...

did the new files appear in my branch?

if so, then you should be able to merge them

GiantCowFilms

I think I may have worked

X-27

OH NO-

i just though of something

tomorrow is Christmas eve

I need to make cupcakes!

one question though, should they be vanilla or chocolate?

GiantCowFilms

17:04

chocolate

X-27

k

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 You need to update your script

X-27

I already made a chocolate cake though, but the more chocolate the better.

I added the new colors

Comrade Vader

@X-27 in your answer how come some vert with zero move even though they have zero weight paint and then other (one on the foot) needs weight so it moves?

GiantCowFilms

Yes, but your script cause issues with the map

X-27

17:05

ok, put the working one on paste all then

@ComradeVader I downloaded your .Blend and the problem you are having is because there is no weight on that vertex

7Blue_Beast7

Can I have some help please?

X-27

nothing is influencing it's movement

Comrade Vader

but the tip of the toe also has no weight, and it works fine

7Blue_Beast7

Blender 2.72b manipulators aren't working. Anyway to solve the problem

X-27

the problem is, None of your bones have Any weight on that vertex

@7Blue_Beast7 yes, you clicked the button "lock object centers"

Comrade Vader

17:08

nvm

X-27

user image

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Rerember to update your script

X-27

@GiantCowFilms will it work if i copy your script from hecadondal?

(.blend)

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 Alwasy use the maker.blend easiest, but master is out of date

X-27

ok

updated script

will star wars work, or should i make a new .json with the new script?

7Blue_Beast7

17:29

Thx all

@X-27 Okay i turned it off but still isnt working?

X-27

you could ask a question...

@GiantCowFilms

user image

That map takes WAY to long to play

and the small planets arent even worth it

7Blue_Beast7

please...

X-27

too hard to click on,and to many of them

Comrade Vader

well there are also too many by the looks of it

X-27

yah

way to many

Comrade Vader

17:36

*toooooooooooo

X-27

@GiantCowFilms i'll finally get back to that chocolate

be back later

Comrade Vader

user image

@X-27 in this case I have the lower left arm selected. Do the fingers also need to be weight painted in this case or will they move anyway since the finger armature moves with the lower arm armature

X-27

18:02

no, when you move the arm, all the bones parented to it , including the hand and fingers move with it. The hand should be blue. You only need the section that the bone is controlling in red

NoviceInDisguise

@ComradeVader Exactly what @X-27 said.

X-27

@NoviceInDisguise I think typing out X-27 would be easier than pressing Shift+2 Tab clicking, then pressing space and continuing the message

NoviceInDisguise

@X-27

@X-27 a

@X-27 b

@X-27 c

@X-27 not really XD

Comrade Vader

18:27

@X-27 thank you

7Blue_Beast7

19:00

@ComradeVader Hi

Comrade Vader

19:17

@7Blue_Beast7 hello

NoviceInDisguise

19:35

@7Blue_Beast7 @ComradeVader Hello!

Comrade Vader

@NoviceInDisguise hello to you

NoviceInDisguise

What's up?

Comrade Vader

19:49

Not much. Did all I wanted to do today

CharlesL

20:19

@GiantCowFilms its GITMAN TO THE RESCUE!

If you didn't already figure it out :P

GiantCowFilms

21:09

@CharlesL Thanks, I have to go again, but I'll be back in a bit.

(And no, it is not fixied)

@X-27 NOt with 6 it wont

@X-27 Together they are

GiantCowFilms

21:32

@CharlesL I added you as a collaborator to the repo.

@CharlesL I'm trying to perform a merge, but there is a conflic, wich is requiring manual fixing through the console. I don't know how to resolve to conflicts, I tried everything I could find online.

GiantCowFilms

21:53

@CharlesL Seemed to have worked after some wand waving and a big puff of console smoke....

@X-27 The Star Wars map is never going to remain synced, the planets are to close together. (hexagonal was borderline)

The more distance between planets, the less sync errors

Q: Are material requests on-topic?

Are requests on how to simulate certain materials (e.g. asphalt, ice, water, etc.) on topic here? We've had questions like this before which seemed to have been received well, e.g. How To Create a Matte Car Paint Material? How to make a bronze material in Cycles? Making a multi-colored candy ...

discussion scope

1 hour later…

GiantCowFilms

23:57

@X-27 Added simpler Hectagonal [Hectagonal2.json] Map, with less planets.
