finished refactoring another project. this time it's the inventory simulator for xenyria. it's intended to be used for server-side logic, but it can also just be hooked up to a GUI to have a minecraft-like inventory system (which might also come in useful soon)
I was up for like 28 hours. I'm now done with pathfinding & entity physics which means I can continue with the next project on my list tomorrow. For now, I'll just try to get some rest
spent a few more hours trying to get everything to work again. most of the movement weirdness has been fixed and all of my test scenarios pass again. its still a very big mess, but fixable
i also took the opportunity to add a 3D debug view. up until now, all test scenarios ran completely headless making troubleshooting extremely difficult & tedious
still busy refactoring old projects. this time, i worked on xenyria's entity "physics engine" & pathfinding system. it still has some issues (especially the pathfinding code) so it'll take me a few days before i can move on to the next project
being 25 years old and not having any experience with relationships hurts differently
i sadly dont feel comfortable posting pictures yet, but the AC merch i got is sooo cute. i look absolutely horrible in it, but its super comfy & cute
i wish i could trade everything i've worked on in the last 10 years for a life that is worth living
i did a bit of tinkering with player skins today. not sure if this will lead to anything useful but its kinda interesting. you technically get two rows of 264x8 RGB pixels each (sadly separated by a line of one pixel that is covered by text shadow) without the use of resource packs.
i may have ordered animal crossing merch today despite me not having played any games of that franchise in the last 12 years. it's very cute merch tho, so i couldn't resist :3 (oh and i also got splatoon stickers!!)
meow :3
I know it just takes time to get good results but I just kinda wish I could do more than just exercise for 30-45 minutes every day.
my biggest wish rn is that I'm somehow able to get a passing female voice at the start of next year. i don't want to feel pain every single time I listen to a recording of my voice, it's so bad :c
Additionally, I'm scared of what might happen in the future if Xenyria just ceases to exist from one day to the next. I just genuinely don't think I would be able to cope with any of that. I'm scared that I'd lose everything & everyone I still have around me :/
There is just something I don't understand... I'm already doing everything in my power to work on Xenyria as much as I can, yet I always feel like I'm behind everyone else. It just feels like I'm not good enough at anything to really justify existing
i made the mistake of not doing my voice training for a week and now the guilt is killing me... luckily that guilt pushed me into doing voice training again today but i still feel bad for not being more consistent
i played sooo much salmon run with friends today, finally managed to hit evp 999 for the first time :D
Spectrum is now finished. It's not perfect but I'm quite happy with the result. Remote rendering also works (in this case I set up a render node that uses the AMD iGPU of my laptop)
I'll take the rest of the day off and continue with something else tomorrow :3
i really love splatoon, but sometimes i just cant help myself but believe that this game is being held together with glue and tape
Spent the majority of the day cleaning up code, adding a tray icon & log window and improving the UI a bit. The last thing I need to work on is deployment, after that I'm gonna take a break and move on to the next project :3
so based
I will probably have to swap out the OpenGL renderer with Vulkan sometime in the future, but that isn't a huge priority right now.
The web editor for Spectrum is mostly finished now. There's still a bit of work left but the difficult part is done now.
Performance-wise, this scene outputs around 16 text components, so updating this several times a second shouldn't use too much bandwidth. Impact on FPS is also extremely small.
I haven't worked on the server plugin/api for Spectrum yet, so currently my only way of testing consists of sending a chat message via command blocks. It's a huge relief to see that all of this still works
Reached another milestone today, the resource pack exporter is now in a functional state. As it looks right now, all of PaintSquad's shaders should work on 1.21.11 now. The editor is still missing a few features, but all in all the pace is quite good :3
I've barely been up for a few hours today and I'm already omw back to bed. I might have overdone it a bit yesterday by staying up 26 hours... :c
meow
oh, and I've also added something to display shader compile errors
I've also started making use of the preview cache thingy I was working on a few days ago, so now every program has a nice preview video in the frontend.
The UI isn't that great, but since it's just an internal dev tool I think it should be fine.
