Scene Archives

ah I see

says, “Hewwo.”

this is, perhaps, the most awkward possible place for text entry to a chat program that it could be in

it makes me click to post too instead of just hitting enter D: D: D:

says, “As a note, you can drag the purple bars around to make the columns on the sides bigger or smaller!

Also I’m going to make it so control and enter posts, I know I had that working for the Gan no Koe site, it shouldn’t be hard ”

being able to makes the sides bigger/smaller is good, the text entry field being top left and a narrow box instead of At The Bottom In A Long Thin Line is rrrrrreeeeeeaaaally weird tho

says, “Hm, I wonder how hard it would be to make that configurable… post bar at the bottom w/ posts popping in bottom-to-top instead like IRC”

says, “oh the new stuff is at the TOP not the bottom that’s REALLY fucking weird and it took me a moment to even realize ”

says, “not a big fan of the action/speech clicki0ness either. Clicky UI is good for Doing Stuff, not so much for Trying To Enter A Bunch Of Text ”

says, “huh maybe it actually is rolling d7s it’s just displaying d120 for some reason lol”

ah the archives are bottom up too, that’ll… definitely be weird for rereading lol

oh does this make an image appear in the empty space

sodesuka

mildly curious what happens when i open a different window with a different icon

doop

nothing explodes!

says, “i assume you meant for the dramatis box to have all the icons and just got distracted partway through….? ”

says, “-taps microphone- is this thing on?”

says, “The wheels grind slowly, but exceedingly fine, yes. That took manual data entry. =P”

makes sense

the text entry is just markdown, btw so if you terminate the initial italics with an asterisk, it’s normal text; and then double asterisks make things bold*

* oic

*?

says, “There’s some fiddlement I want to do with the way it’s rendering text, I’m not satisfied with it yet. I think if you lead with an asterisk it gets janky? I’ll poke around at it.”

i would definitely, ideally, like some way to not need to click on stuff when entering text, bottom to top flow is Desirable but perhaps not Necessary even if it’s weird and uhh…. definitely WTB a way to make the text lines, uh, condensed. Having it be all Huge Like Discord Avatar Mode and only being able to display 3 lines at once will probably be Hellish when more than two people are talking at once lol

oh you can’t ooc box without main box

but yeah functionally nothing seems to be broken??? so that’s good

says, “By ‘not click on stuff when entering text’ do you mean ‘press Cntl+Enter to post’? also you should be able to tab down to the Post button and hit enter on that; anything interactable either is keyboard-accessible or I have committed an error. But I do intend to make it so there’s a keyboard shortcut for posting next, yeah”

yeah something like that would be nice,

nodnods.

also lolololol, when the connection dropped this time it not only deleted my text, but also shunted me into the other scene… and would not let me rejoin elsewhere until I manually refreshed

says, “tabbing around + enter DOES work tho”

says, “Baffling. I wonder if I can get any information from the production logs… I might need to either make it so you can connect to my local machine or enable a bunch of logging in production to figure out exactly what the hell is happening. >_>”

says, “hm why is it not autofocusing back on the main post input when you keyboard-activate the post button, that’s baffling”

found a weird glitch…

says, “:O”

is the true hero of this story, after all. “Stands to reason that I’d find all the fucking problems!”

says, “Well, that functionality DEFINITELY was working in my dev environment but isn’t working now, so that’s exciting.”

says, “huh why’s the icon next to liminal different from the icon above the void d4”

says, “The icons that show up in the chat are just coloured circles, haha. And I wanted to do something weird for Void rather than just, like, a purple circle. >_>”

says, “oic”

Oh dear there is so much here.

says, “Hello!”

says, “that text wasnt gunna enter itself”

re-dragons themself.

says, “AHEM.”

says, “Is my name always Reibello now? Or can we also switch our names once we have characters?”

oh wow, something got REAL weird that that dis/reconnect teak i wound up posting to the wrong scene that time

says, “that’s so weird, i would expect it to be horking you in to Elsewhere, if anything, on a disconnect, lol”

it’s slightly more incidious for scenes since i don’t actually know somethings broken until i try and interact with it anew lol

vs rites immediately moving pogs to the top left being like ‘oh yeah, okay’ haha

so the REAL weird thing is i WAS still in elsewhere, and was seeing new elsewhere lines,

says, “-wacky-”

but when i jumped to settings, changed nick, came back and replied to riebello, it posted in Example IC

truely bizarre stuff

says, “what the fuck, lol”

I was wondering why that happened

says, “Ice got some internet ghosts”

says, “Teak - Quick fight - grab something you assume is averagely good”

says, “Also - there should probably be some form of reference to color passive bonuses somewhere in deck construction?”

やれやれだぜ

says, “I’m working on that ＞＿＞”

i assume that’s coming whenever the cards get rebuilt

says, “Naw that’s not particularly contingent on the card rebuild and I might work on that next. Actually since I have you both here, where exactly should that info show up? The hand menu in-rite? the Deck? somewhere else?”

Uhhh it’s PROBABLY fine just shoving it above the grace column since it functions similiarly

i say, before clicking over and seeing you changed how hand display looks entirely lol

or???

it only looks different when you click someone else’s hand?? ok

oh i just realized if we’re using strangepath for both text and the rite i’ma need to have the progam open on monitors other than my main after all………..

urgh yeah this is uncomfortably large on the smaller monitor lol

says, “Is it the vertical height of each individual message box?”

yes

nods. “Yeah okay I think I can do something about that, it’s definitely like… what I’m used to from the site I grew up on before IRC but I think it’ll be rough if a bunch of people are posting, yeah, I’ll fuck about with it.”

also scrolling on the side bars matter more but that’s less concerning (well, other than the fact that I can’t see below the post button r/n so I’d never see channel notifications lol)

the place i was from before IRC used a very similar layout to IRC, and then discord has options to look more like IRC, so it’s hella tripping me up lol

says, “wtf do you mean you can’t see below the post button? or like. without scrolling”

i mean the screen size is so small over on this monitor i have to scroll down to see below the [POST] button, yeah

nod

tests…

says, “Yay!”

shwoop

hmm???

says, “wat”

i thought posting shunted me over to the other channel, but that was not it. i assume weird dis/reconnect thing

okay yeah i think it defaults to example and not elsewhere for… some reason….

also if you were curious if I try and read archived logs while that happens it boots me back to the main archive menu and out of the specific one

also cant ctrl+enter post from the ooc box, which seems mildly suboptimal give it comes after main text box

says, “ope i clean forgot to add the hook to the OOC box, didn’t I”

says, “Ahhh I think because I am doing Advanced Shenanigans to make what is effectively a nested/dynamic form, it is hosing your state when you get disconnected even though the server should still have all the information it needs to reconstruct it. I wonder… I think I can unfuck this, and maybe unfucking it for the scenes view will teach me enough to also unfuck it for the Rite view???”

says, “Working on the layout shit first while I have everything super fresh in my head though.”

ye ye

says, “hey ice please look forward to something”

says, “nevermind ugghhhh this is a million times more complicated than I thought it was going to be, this probably won’t get done tonight ugh ugh ughhh ”

says, “Iiiinteresting, it’s definitely horking me to “Example IC Session” when I lose my connection (computer was asleep overnight), I… god I wonder if there’s any way I can programmatically trigger that.”
