@Jack Papel wdym "they don't render"?
Jack PapelTeam07:01
The sign, when placed, is invisible
The game can find the textures fine, and it is creating a block entity, so that's where I was stuck
SollyTeam07:08
@Jack Papel I fixed it in my fork. It just needed a be(edited)
Will pr to your fork in a minute
Jack PapelTeam07:10
Thanks 👍
SollyTeam07:14
@Jack Papel Done
I also added aether_ to the sign types' names, because they aren't namespaced
So another mod adding an "orange" sign would conflict, for example
Jack PapelTeam07:15
Ah, good idea
SollyTeam12:16
Slime jump distance is pain
That line is distance = -8.953-e3*size^2 + 0.8516844*size - 0.268227
Which is probably close enough?
It outputs a quartic which is closer, but I'm not doing that
Does anyone know what the fuck it actually is?
Jack PapelTeam12:20
I'm sure it's in the code, one sec lemme check
SollyTeam12:20
Yeah, I'm sure it's in the code
looks at the entity tick method(edited)
No thanks
Jack PapelTeam12:23
(float)(this.speed * this.entity.getAttributeValue(EntityAttributes.GENERIC_MOVEMENT_SPEED))
GENERIC_MOVEMENT_SPEED is set in initialize
Oh, I guess not
It's set somewhere
(0.2F + 0.1F * (float)i)
where i is size
SollyTeam12:25
But how does that translate to distance moved?
The quartic btw
Jack PapelTeam12:26
When it jumps, it has a y velocity and a horizontal velocity (the first bit I sent). Then it just follows that trajectory. You could work out the landing position with a quadratic and calculate it that way
But basically, generic movement speed is (pretty much) directly proportional to jump distance
SollyTeam12:27
That's what I've been trying to do
But it doesn't seem to be a quadratic
Jack PapelTeam12:28
I'll see what I get with my calculations

SollyTeam12:29

A quadratic is close enough, but it has that weird bit of error

Slime size to rough distance moved

Jack PapelTeam12:36
Yeah my calculations don't match up either
Probably the data collected was pretty rough(edited)
Speaking of swet jump distance, large swets jump way too far. We should probably change that
Actually, I'll put out a change right now while I'm at it
SollyTeam13:08
Okay, well, your turn to calculate the landing position
As long as it's a block close to the centre of the swet's hitbox its good enough
Just need to know whether it will definitely land on a block, or whether it might fall down
Jack PapelTeam13:22
Large swets no longer jump super far
SollyTeam13:22
How far, though?

Jack PapelTeam13:23

if (size < 4) {
this.getAttributeInstance(EntityAttributes.GENERIC_MOVEMENT_SPEED).setBaseValue(0.2F+0.1F*(float)i);
} else {
this.getAttributeInstance(EntityAttributes.GENERIC_MOVEMENT_SPEED).setBaseValue(0.6 + 0.02 * (float)(i - 4));
}

about this far(edited)

I made a swet size 30ish and it never jumped more than ten ish blocks(edited)

SollyTeam13:29
Don't they have a getjumpingvelocity method you can override?
Jack PapelTeam13:29
That's for the vertical velocity
I only changed the horizontal velocity
SollyTeam13:30
There's no horizontal equivalent?(edited)
Jack PapelTeam13:31
Horizontal jumping velocity is calculated in the SlimeMoveControl tick method
based on GENERIC_MOVEMENT_SPEED and the slime's current speed
So that's why I changed generic movement speed
SollyTeam13:32
Alright. I might change it in there later, since I'll be mixing into it anyway
Jack PapelTeam13:32
Oh, for what?
SollyTeam13:32
I'm trying to make them not commit suicide constantly
Jack PapelTeam13:32
Ah, I see
SlimeMoveControl isn't that complicated really, could also just make a custom SwetMoveControl
SollyTeam13:36
Possibly
In bed rn, but I'll work out exactly what to do tomorrow
Jack PapelTeam13:37
Sounds good
SollyTeam14:07
Signs still need tags @Jack Papel
Jack PapelTeam14:59
Ah, thanks for reminding me
Archanum17:22
Woot Solly gonna solve the jumping space trash issue!!
Jack PapelTeam18:52
Just hit 100 issues
🎊

Okay I might be an idiot but I thought this symbol was a checkout scanner
Tbf it doesn't have a whisk attachment and would make for a pretty poor mixer(edited)
This one looked more like a mockingjay than an arrow
AzzyypaarasTeam19:18
Replying toJack PapelOkay I might be an idiot but I thought this symbol was a checkout scanner
I only just realized that that is what it is supposed to be
a mixer that is
Jack PapelTeam19:19
Imagining it as a checkout gun is so much cooler when going to the mixed in class
AzzyypaarasTeam19:19
I always just thought it was some wacky over-minimalistic symbol
AzzyypaarasTeam19:19
Replying toJack PapelImagining it as a checkout gun is so much cooler when going to the mixed in class
Since when are checkout guns cool
Jack PapelTeam19:19
guns
The only gun you can buy in every country
What'd you think the arrow was? Or did you already know it was an arrow?
Haven King19:21
Replying toAzzyypaarasI only just realized that that is what it is supposed to be
lmao
AzzyypaarasTeam19:21
That always did just look like an arrow
Jack PapelTeam19:21
Kinda looks like a Mario kart wii controller
Since it's so blurred
AzzyypaarasTeam19:21
You know now I am wondering
why do it be so crusty
Jack PapelTeam19:24
They really said "yeah we good"
Archanum19:43
Lewd
Jack PapelTeam19:44
Didn't even think of that
SweepSwap21:40
Replying toJack PapelKinda looks like a Mario kart wii controller
i had one of those
but i lost the mario kart wii disc
i had mario kart 7 and 8 though on the 3ds and wii u respectively
SollyTeam22:35
Replying toArchanumWoot Solly gonna solve the jumping space trash issue!! :yay:
Not solving. That would require actual pathfinding. Just improving(edited)
