IMPORTANT QUESTION: Would these cursors go inside of weapons or hud?

02:19

I think it'd make more sense if this went into weapons, but at the same time, this is a hud element, or more accurately a gui element.

bah

I forgot how pointers worked. How do I get the value of the name of the assigned pointer for each sprite element? For example: container.sprites.Add(Sprite("part_slice", set_particles, 0,0,1,1)) I'm trying to print particles, since that's the name of the set it's being pointed to, but I keep getting an error. (edited)

nvm i found out how ^^ i just forgot to put .target before .set ^^

why python

Should I keep waiting on this? https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/pull/6775

why python

why not

03:33

we are cooking tonight

03:34

@heinrich5991 good progress on the sorting phase! i think tommorow im going to set up the actual slicing tool!

03:35

What I did was reuse content.py (crediting matricks of course), and edit it a bit so that it includes what location it should be sorted into

Ewan

wonder if it should be python or if it should be a static exe in the game dir like dilate is, similar use case makes me think the latter though it would be easier with python bcs magick

A

well here's my plan: i'm using Pillow for Python, and I'm going to be setting it up in a way where you can put all the assets into its own custom folder, and you can run the program and have those assets packaged into its own set

03:40

because if i were to do it with an executable, it's just going to package all the default ones and skip the juicy custom assets (because lets be real i dont think most of the asset modders actually replace the main images. if they do id be surprised)

why is that what an executable would mean

because how would it know how to sort the custom assets

personally i would just do like dilate and have the first arg be a source img and have a second optional arg for output destination for CI or w/e

03:49

like, you drag & drop an image called foo.png and it would slice the images and put them in ./assets/foo/*.png or whatever

03:50

or invoke it from the command like & provide foo.png & an output path

i mean the thing is, will it just package the single image?

Wdym

because i was planning to also resort the entire thing because

03:51

look at how unorganized game.png is

03:51

and why exactly isn't extras a part of particles.png

./assets/foo/game/.png, ./assets/foo/extras/\.png (edited)

yes but that also begs the question: what happens when you go two game.pngs one after the other?

03:53

will the files overwrite?

./assets/bar//\.png

whats bar?

03:53

oh wait

03:54

ok so that means if i have a custom game.png called Awesome.png, and i put that into the slicer, will it be put into assets/awesome/game/*.png?

Yes

03:54

well

03:55

./assets/Awesome/game/*.png

So you're telling me I have to rename ALL of these to Awesome so that it's completely organized and I can send out the zip file for it to embed properly? (edited)

03:56

because idk how the zip reading thing will work but i can only imagine its going to be like a game pack

03:56

unless each and every sub category is going to be its own zip

are you reading the zip at runtime

are we?

03:57

im literally only writing the slicing script

i lack context

now that i think about it how WILL the zip files be treated?
