08:19 <KillAshley|SEMI> !tell TWG greg loves writing essays :P lol

08:19 <Qboid> KillAshley|SEMI: I'll redirect this as soon as they are around.

08:20 <KillAshley|SEMI> lol i think i summoned him

08:20 <TWG> Wut

08:20 <KillAshley|SEMI> lol

08:21 <TWG> What is going on? o_0

08:21 <KillAshley|SEMI> its a message system

08:21 <TWG> Cool!

08:21 <KillAshley|SEMI> you leave a !tell and when qboid next sees them itll tell them

08:21 <TWG> I was actually wondering if Thomas was online, I'll just leave a message then

08:21 <TWG> !tell

08:21 <Qboid> TWG: Index was outside the bounds of the array.

08:21 <KillAshley|SEMI> !tell TWG like this

08:21 <Qboid> KillAshley|SEMI: I'll redirect this as soon as they are around.

08:22 <KillAshley|SEMI> he should be here though

08:22 <Thomas> !tell TWG maybe

08:22 <Qboid> Thomas: I'll redirect this as soon as they are around.

08:22 <TWG> o/ Thomas

08:22 <Qboid> TWG: KillAshley|SEMI left a message for you in #Kopernicus [20.05.2017 08:21:55]: "like this"

08:22 <Qboid> TWG: Thomas left a message for you in #Kopernicus [20.05.2017 08:22:14]: "maybe"

08:22 <TWG> I'm writing a new PQSMod for Gregrox that scales a planet on all axes by a given amount

08:22 <TWG> But I'm having trouble with the OnVertexBuildHeight

08:23 <TWG> Because I need to devise a method to figure out the location on the sphere, then the deformity

08:23 <TWG> Which is, unfortunately, the product of all three axis scale values

08:25 <TWG> So... anyone got any ideas for this? Because my mind is hitting a wall here. A fresh perspective on this problem would be much appreciated

08:26 <KillAshley|SEMI> so this mod.....changes the planet radius?

08:26 <Thomas> xD

08:26 <TWG> Yes, with three axes

08:27 <TWG> x, y and z

08:27 <KillAshley|SEMI> oooooooh

08:27 <KillAshley|SEMI> i was thiking "could a simple mm patch do that" lol

08:27 <KillAshley|SEMI> but yeah by 3 different axis individually

08:27 <KillAshley|SEMI> god luck with that

08:27 <TWG> Thanks

08:28 <KillAshley|SEMI> btw i dont code, so im useless

08:28 <TWG> Especially since the PQS checks the current position then calculates from that

08:28 <KillAshley|SEMI> i think its down to Thomas and SigmaUK to help

08:29 <TWG> That's okay

08:31 <TWG> Also, Thomas, is there a way to create a mod that creates terrain scatters by referencing LandControl or MeshScatter, and using their generators?

08:32 <Thomas> TWG: I am not quite sure what you mean with "Because I need to devise a method to figure out the location on the sphere, then the deformity"

08:32 <Thomas> TWG: That *could* work, but I wouldnt recommend it

08:33 <TWG> Because the sphere is upscaled by the three axes, I need to find a way to localize the effect to three specific points on the sphere - the poles, and two points on the equator with a 90 degree inclination to each other

08:35 <TWG> But I don't know what data value I should alter for that, as the PQS checks the whole sphere. A simple deformity would affect the entire terrain. Not to mention that the deformity has to scale with distance from the axis point... this is gonna be pain.

08:37 <TWG> Or maybe... data.directionFromCenter += deformity; with deformity as a Vector3?

08:47 <TWG> *Vector3D?

08:48 <TWG> I'm gonna try that out now, the code compiles so as long as my PC doesn't catch fire...

08:48 <TWG> My assumption is that data.directionFromCenter scales with coordinates on the terrain

08:49 <Thomas> directionFromCenter isnt supposed to be edited

08:49 <TWG> then data.vertHeight with directionFromCenter influencing the effect strength?

08:50 <Thomas> direction from center describes the position of the vertex that is edited, but without a length (distance from the center) value

08:50 <Thomas> this lenght value is vertHeight

08:50 <TWG> So directionFromCenter basically gives 3D surface coordinates?

08:51 <TWG> Which is how noiseMods are generated?

08:52 <Thomas> yes, but they are normalized

08:52 <Thomas> it is just a direction

08:53 <TWG> Maybe the following: data.vertHeight += (x * axisA) + (x * axisB) + (x * axisC); with x being a data type providing coordinates?

08:55 <TWG> Maybe data.directionXZ?

08:55 <TWG> data.vertHeight += (data.directionXZ.x * axisA) + (data.directionXZ.y * axisB) + (data.directionXZ.z * axisC);

09:05 <TWG> Wait, normalized -> scale 0-1, that sounds like exactly what I need!

09:05 <TWG> I'll test what I have in-game, the code compiled so worst case scenario is a computer on fire

09:41 <TWG> It seems to work... ish

13:27 <GregroxMun> o/

15:08 <Thomas> \p

15:17 <GregroxMun> \p looks like you're looking to the side and holding your arm back.

15:40 <GregroxMun> If we had discovered the star Nemesis, would Proxima Centauri have to be officially renamed Alpha Centauri C?

17:36 <SigmaUK> GregroxMun: why?

17:36 <SigmaUK> it would still be called Proxima Centauri

17:37 <SigmaUK> it would still be the closest star in the centauri constellation :D

17:37 <SigmaUK> unless nemesis is part of the centauri constellation

20:29 <Astronaut1> Any1 on

20:30 <Astronaut1> :(

21:32 <GregroxMun> SigmaUK: None of the other closest stars in their constellations are referred to as "Proxima." Nearest I can tell, "Proxima Centauri" means "It's the nearest star to the Sun also it's right here in the sky."
