Re: Allow cross-surface cutscenes

If not cross-surface cutscenes, allow players to "splice" different cutscenes together by perhaps specifying a next_cutscene (idk how the cutscenes are setup but something like that should work) this would be basically the same thing, while also allowing more seamless transitions between d...

Re: Mod Portal moderation and "forks" tab in mods

Additionally, after a period of time of a mod being abandoned, the in-game mod portal should recommend "fixed" versions of the mod if they are avaliable, so that users can switch to a new version under active maintinence.

Sorry for so many separate posts i keep thinking of new things

Re: Mod Portal moderation and "forks" tab in mods

If getting moderators to do the moderation is an issue, allow users to mark mods with tags, then if enough users tag a mod as "internal" or "modlist" then the tag will automatically be added given other parameters (not updated recently, etc)

Mod Portal moderation and "forks" tab in mods

TL;DR Moderation for mod portal submissions to add tags to mods that are generally unused such as hotfix mods, compatability mods, "my modlist" mods, minor changes to other mods, etc There should be a forks tab under each mod, to list mods that include minor changes, fix certain bugs, or ...

Re: Mod Portal: Request for contribution

+1, can i also recommend adding a "forks" section for when someone makes a fork to make changes and/or fix bugs, compatibility, take over for inactive mods, etc

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

Ah, right. I just think that, unfortunately, that's really unlikely to pan out, given that the devs are already eyeing things at O(1) complexity. Sadly, it appears so. Although a lot of options are better than 1.1 fluid mechanics (gameplay and computational perspectives) i hope they do something wi...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

There's most likely a way to design the system to work properly. It's probably already been done before elsewhere. My point was that, if done correctly, this system would be better than the bounding box or nodes in network limits Uh, the bounding box is also O(1)... Better as in makes more sense, l...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

I'm just not seeing how you could generalize this across networks of arbitrary complexity without pretty much checking every last leg, and that won't look pretty, computationally. There's most likely a way to design the system to work properly. It's probably already been done before elsewhere. My p...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

Assume a T-shaped pipe with 3 along the top and 2 on the vertical. According to instructions: [...]Each pipe keeps track of a value representing the distance to the furthest pipe. 3 2 3 - 2 - 3 ...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

Something about that logic doesn't seem to work quite right, but regardless, my point stands; you have to query/update n/2 pipe elements for each segment change, which is O(n) complexity, whereas keeping a running total is just O(1). The logic is sound, assuming a wrote it correctly. Regardless, I ...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

[...]The arbitrary number of junctions also doesn't mean anything, as the logic doesn't need pathing. It would need pathing to figure out which branch of the network has the "furthest" fluid box. It's trivial if you have an "L" shaped pipe, but if it's "H" shaped, or m...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

[...]What if the pipe limitation was a point-to-point limit instead of a square? Each pipe can only be (for example) 500 fluid boxes away from the furthest pipe before the network becomes invalid.[...] This would be nice, but in the first fluid FFF, the devs mentioned that one of the motivations fo...

I don't really know how to put it all into one sentence. Hopefully I can properly explain what I wish to do. I also hope I haven't missed a previous post on this topic, but I found it hard to title this one and searching for someone else's title was proving difficult I wish that you could specify a ...
