Haha well good luck with the exams, remember all the good work will be worth it! Life is so much better after school you have something to look forward to
The map I'm making is a bit boring in concept and not very original, I'm really making it for LAN-ing with friends. It's called Undead Survival (see? very original ), 8 players are human defenders and defend a town from endless waves of zombie attacks. 4 players are special zombie types that respawn when killed, and try to kill the 8 defenders. Whenever a defender is killed, they become a special zombie as well, so it just snowballs against the defenders until they're all eventually dead. Meh, it's just fun to code abilities again
i messed up that same day with another thread... it is the armor one that i made in the world editor forum, it was supposed to be in the galaxy editor forum, i musta been on something lol
I'm doing well, I've just lost all my drive and motivation to map which is why I'm not around as much I just can't sit down and map for hours on end like I used to, these days I get bored of doing something like terraining or coding and then just stop altogether. Any tips on how to stay motivated?
I started making websites about 5 years ago, but it is only recently that I have fully taken it seriously. I would say about 2-3 years of serious web design and development and then it has only been about 3 months that I have gone fully professional.
I keep trying to start an indie game (I love them), but I never seem to have enough time to keep it going I am a fan of Flash, even though there are plenty of haters for it. I mostly like it for the reason you mentioned: the graphics are a lot simpler to do than with most things. Although, if you want to do desktop applications, you should have a look at Adobe AIR. The applications are made in exactly the same way (ActionScript3), but they have extended functionality.
I personally am finishing off a web design project at the moment (which the client is being very picky with) and then I'm fancying playing some Starcraft, or equally entertaining games
I will soon. I haven't been active because of that essay project thing I've been doing.
I'm out tonight, all day tomorrow, and with the missus tomorrow night. Sooooo, expect me to be active on Sunday?
Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
@tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
