Ig thats where most of my confusion comes from, to me saying sth is a “spectrum” always evokes sth along the lines of gay <--------------------> straight (ie one dimensional) with things mapping into this interval. But ig if you also include more than one axis in your meaning of “spectrum” there wouldn’t be as straight forward of an ordering for any given “spectrum”. + Like @saigot@lemmy.ca said technically even the 1 dimensional spectrum can have more than one order and the “obvious” one is just obvious because we are used to it from another context not because its specifically relevant to this situation.

How is a spectrum supposed to not have a total ordering? To me saying sth is a spectrum always invokes an image of being able to map to/represent the property as an interval (unbounded or bounded) which should always give it a total ordering right?

Thanks for the detailed explanation on the sysreq keys & when & how to use them for unlocking a frozen system :D. Also for the systemctl bit because i wasnt even sure what to do if i had gotten to a console lol.

It’s fixed in 6.8.10 and 6.9 if you have the ability to upgrade to those.

Honestly idk how id even begin to do that lol, and id also maybe rather not start my first week of linux use by immediately trying to change the kernel version on my own XD (either down or up). I did hear about an issue with rdr2 and kernel 6.8.9 from a reddit post which i found through someone writing about problems with the game on its protondb page. But i thought i was fine as my game worked normally until i encountered the crash & because the reddit and protondb post say its solved by enabling rebar which (iirc) i already have.

However idk if that reddit posts issue is the same/related to the one you linked. Since the rest of the game and my system seem to be mostly fine i think ill either just not play the game or specifically avoid the cutscene when i do (its in an optional quest luckily). And then ill maybe return to it after the updated kernel arrives on fedora to see if it solves the crash or not.

Thanks for the link! I managed to set up sysrq with it, which might have saved me from reinstalling steam when the crash occurred the second time (see the update in my post).

Where is this from?

I love seeing conspiracy/crank types do anything with math.

I’m still curious as to whether there’s an easier way to do this than simply updating the global position, by script, to match the pose’s.

I’m not sure if this is what you want but maybe you could use the BoneAttachment3D Node?

Wow thanks for the quick and detailed answer :D. Ive used a variation of the autoload script you provided and it works great.

on my machine it corresponds to the window order in the taskbar.

I tried that at first too but its not very reliable on my machine and it seem they can be in any order on my taskbar.

(I actually went back and checked now that i can easily tell which one it is and it appears like it is often, but not always, the one last in my taskbar (out of 3 open instances). ~30%-50% of the time it can also be the second to last one and i recall it even being the first one in the taskbar at least once)

For anyone who wants more, there is !possums@possumpat.io and !opossums@lemmy.world

I’m also not quite sure of how it works yet but at least the first part is correct i think. The full link worked for you because its to the instance your account is on. When i use that link (on the desktop website) i get redirected to that site but i don’t have an account there so i cant interact with it on this account. Similarly: if I link https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world it will work for me without problems but you should see a website where you aren’t logged in (at least using the website, mobile apps might handle it differently i think).

(Although i have no idea why the exclamation mark link didn’t work for you, it did work for me at least. Maybe its the app you are using? I remember that for example some old jerboa version had problems with the exclamation mark links where it would just crash when you tried to use them.)

Ok so it seems like they don’t commute? I asked the question in part because i wanted to do something like:

const base_transform : Transform3D = 

func get_base_transform(node : Node3D) -> Transform3D:
    return node.transform * base_transform

func set_base_transform(node : Node3D, transform : Transform3D) -> void:
    node.transform = base_transform.affine_inverse() * node.transform

and i wanted to be sure that if i do set_base_transform(some_node, some_transform) i’d be guaranteed to get that get_base_transform(some_node) == some_transform afterwards. But when i tried it the above code did not work out, at least i didnt get the result i expected. But when i flipped it so that set_base_transform did node.transform = node.transform * base_transform.affine_inverse() instead it did work out. Its still not hard proof though, maybe something else was messed up the first time, or it only looks like it works now and i’ll discover the transform still isn’t what i wanted it to be. Or they do commute but only under some constriction like no scale on any axis or something and i just happened to fulfill it with all the ones i used in my test.

So it would still be good to know for sure whether/when Transform3D’s commute.

EDIT: I accidentally wrote the first line wrong, it said that they do commute. When actually the experience i had with it working only after both functions did their multiplications in a compatible order should indicate that they don’t commute.

I can kind of see what you mean. Maybe this more “natural”/less staged picture is less fake looking? (source)

Its a variant of this meme.

mayb having to write a tool script in godot to replace specially named empties form blender with instances of gameplay related scenes or sth.

Why did I never think of that. My level designer is gonna be so excited if I ever remember to write something like that myself.

I think this even has some direct support from Godot to automate it. The EditorScenePostImport class is supposed to be used for stuff like this i believe but im not entirely sure (i haven’t tried or had to try anything like this yet never mind automate it, i just found this while looking through the documentation on 3D scene importing).

I love fistful of frags.

Ayy same, kinda XD. I loved it for a long time but the updates (for a long time now) are just really odd and I feel like the game has massive potential that it just keeps not tapping into properly. Nothing else like it really exists, the closest might be Hunt: Showdown but that is also a Extraction Shooter/Battle Royal so still really different.

For map making you might be interested in Qodot.

Ive seen it before but while it is probably easier im not sure if its a good idea. Fistful of Frags is horrendously outdated for the most part so i at least a bit want to try to modernise it. And going from blocky HL2 style maps with hammer to even blockier Quake style maps with Trenchbroom feels like a downgrade lmao. (But to be fair i haven tried it yet so i might be wrong there).

I think ill try with blender for now. E.g. enabling snapping and quad view gets blender closer to hammer in feeling already (at least from what i remember from using hammer a bit forever ago). Otherwise i hope i can make it somewhat usable using import flags on blender objects and mayb having to write a tool script in godot to replace specially named empties form blender with instances of gameplay related scenes or sth.

What are you working on btw…? I assume it’s some kind of shooter and cock is in reference to cocking a gun…

Nothing concrete, my dream would be being able to recreate/mimic Fistful of Frags in Godot. The reality is that i keep starting new projects trying to recreate parts of it (omitting stuff that’s hard and i know nothing about yet like multiplayer, animations, modeling etc.).

This specific piece of code is from a current attempt where I’m trying to mimic the games movement and shooting closely enough to create a small shooting gallery like thing. And then use that to learn more about how to (possibly) use Blender as a map editor for it.

Is it dynamically typed tho? Its missing the return type of the function (which i left out because its only there to be called from a signal so it doesnt matter too much & because the Godot editor didn’t bother adding it when it inserted the function to receive the signal).

But otherwise its already statically typed right? (COCK is a constant in the script that i did give a type and stream and play() are part of the AudioStreamPlayer3D node)

Oh no 😢 . I cant bear the thought that the big man didn’t get his ice cream :c. I hope he got some lactose-free ice cream instead or something.

Oh wow you actually got pretty close then XD. It’s not a Hotline Miami like game but the code is indeed for cocking a gun (or rather for playing the sound for it).

It has just now occurred to me that maybe i should only have given a cookie to the first person that guessed it, ooops 😅.
