It's been a long time since I did GUI. So I thought I'd try it out (again).
Here's a timed effects system (in GUI) I made. Comments are appreciated. =)

No, this isn't meant to be in the T&R section.

Requires JassHelper!

Its good that a moderator is brining some humour to the world editor help forum. Its all GUI but you just need jasshelper and a jass system and some basic jass knoledgd to read this all GUI GUI

> I'm afraid you're DSQ-d because of hybrid code.
But it's super-easy-to-use, and super-understandable and super-readable GUI.
No colourful text, bold writing or random spaces to confuse you. :(

> In what perspective is this better than http://www.thehelper.net/forums/show...39&postcount=3 ?
This one's accurate.

So, who likes my awesome GUI Skillz?

It's been a while since I've done GUI. So thanks for all the support guys!

> Your GUI burns out my eyes.
It's better than that colourful JASS. :p

This just shows that everything in JASS is possible in GUI.

Click to expand...

GUI sucks so much that you cant do really do anything with it. You even need Jass ( custom scripts ) to remove leaks. o_O

With GUI + custom scripts you can do loads of cool stuff, but it still sucks terribly because of that horrible ugly looking GUI interface.

We dont use Jass only because its less laggy & buggy, but also because its much easier to code with and looks much much better than GUI and thus is easier to read.

edit. Ok, ok next time I read that first post properly before I post. luls. Nice one..

    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
