Library...

I was just wondering if someone put up a library (.mod) of useful stuff... Like some missing math and such.

I've checked quickly on battle.net and found nothing.

Since I'm building my own (Hate to work without a normalize function around), I was wondering if there isn't an already existing solution, and if not, some people would be interrested?

Well, please indulge me, what kinds of math functions are in SC2 and what ones are missing that would be useful to add?

Normalize, Cross product, Dot Product, rotation, clamp/min/max...
Couple of constant like Pi, VectorI-J-K.

I also use Global To Local and Local To Global which is sometime useful to find a vector (point) relative to a specific object orientation instead of world orientation.

Since I'm a noob with Galaxy, they might be all there already and I haven't found them yet. Wouldn't be the first time it happens. :D

Well, Pi is just 3.14159265(...). So, it's not really needed to put it in. But I can see where it'd be helpful. I suppose you'd also want to put e(uler's constant) in there as well.

Yup, exactly.
But you know, not everybody remember the Pi as precisly as you.

As myself, I got for 3.14159. Can't manage to remember beyond that. :D

Most people just use google :p

"pi to 100 digits"

3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825 3421170679

Alternatively you can just use the formulae for pi if you can find one that suits your needs.


However i'd love a library if anyone does one please make a big shout about it.

It'd be also nice if the simple stuff that alot of people might use was added.

I.e. Timers that count up which is simply create timer 0:00 then loop pause wait 1 second +1 unpause.

Move Players to Team 1/2/3

:rolleyes: I'm actually out of ideas but you know which ones I mean.

Actually, I could make something for teams ;) An in-game team selection via dialogs...

I thought of that but it might lead to the problem of people all trying to be on the same team.

So maybe have a have a option do you want to be on a team with.

"Don't care", "Player 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10..."

It's a bit more complex but allows friends to play together.

Well, it would be really nice to have something like this because in some games, even if I move my friend (from my party) up to my "team" we still end up playing against each other. And I think this is because Player 2 is actually the SECOND player to join the game. Which makes no sense >_<

    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.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    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
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    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
  • Varine Varine:
    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.
  • Varine Varine:
    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
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
