Indie game developer 🇨🇦

Working on some games for game jams in my free time

Admin of programming.dev and frontend developer for sublinks

Account has automation for some scheduled posts

Site: https://ategon.dev/ Socials: https://ategon.carrd.co/

  • The site may go down within the window of 1-3am ET (4 hours from when this was posted) for maintenance

    Jump

  • Sites back up

    Got a lot of information about what it actually causing the issues which should help me automate some fixes for tomorrow + the weekend

    There likely will be some more downtime tomorrow if I have time (if not itll be on saturday)

    The issue is essentially a chain of issues with one needing to be fixed before I can fix the others. Some tables have duplicates entries which is preventing reindexing (since the indexes are broken). First one im going to try to fix is the post table.

    I did some changes to remove a duplicate community to test which is https://programming.dev/c/photography@lemmy.world and ive managed to make it merged and now comments will show if you sort by comments in the community. Posts however still aren't showing up due to the posts table having the issue with duplicates as well. (fixing posts first so I can set all of the posts to the correct community in an automated way later for the communities)

  • Daily Godot Tip #31: You can use @ export_placeholder to give placeholder text to the input box in the inspector

    Jump

  • around half the instances I checked were affected, no idea why only them were affected. world is also currently behind in inbound federation due to the pure amount of activities its generating atm (only instance that is atm). We fixed the issues so it shouldnt be happening anymore (and I can see this post on world)

    world, lemm.ee dont have them, beehaw does for example

    no problem, been using it as an excuse to learn about godot as well

  • For people on other instances, you might not see posts 29 and 30 due to some issues (e.g. people on .world) but you can see them by going to https://programming.dev/c/godot

  • Daily Godot Tip #24: Statements can be put across multiple lines using backslashes or parentheses

  • Daily Godot Tip #22: The replace_by function can be used if you need to replace a certain node with another while keeping all children within the scene

    Jump

  • It definitely has more niche use due to the children interactions. Its pretty much just a shorthand for one specific case of function calls you would do so that you dont have to mess with all of reparenting, position, etc. for that case

    Its more useful for engine and tool development (and is used in the engine for the change type button when you right click)

    Off the top of my head a use case in a game would if for some reason you have placeholders, replacing the placeholder with the actual node. Another one is if your enemies change based on a specific metric in the game (e.g. once a run hits 1 minute all enemies change to be a harder enemy), you can just replace the old enemy node/script with the new one so that you get the updated script (would have to also manage the sprite in that case though)

    Jump

  • Was an issue with the upgrade script when upgrading to 0.19.5

  • [Duplicate bug, disregard] Duplicate listing of !til@lemmy.world in search

    Jump

  • Caused by the same db issue thats been causing issues

  • Programming Humor community is missing?

    Jump

  • Yeah they appear in the feeds. So people primarily use it through sub and local sorts atm

  • old is still supported, what comment section are you trying to look at

    Jump

  • Newer communities arent affected

  • Programming Humor community is missing?

    Jump

  • it cant have the same slug, just for the idea of remaking

    it doesnt fully break communities, you just cant look at the page for the community and new people cant sub (but they can still be posted and read from). humor has still been active with posts while broken

    next downtime hopefully should be soon to do another round of fixes

  • Programming Humor community is missing?

    Jump

  • Theoretically remaking the community is the exact same as moving it to another instance since new communities arent affected. Everythings been getting worked on openly in the support channel on discord/matrix so if anyone wants to help can help get things fixed there

  • Programming Humor community is missing?

    Jump

  • Been getting worked on, last downtime fixed some of the issues but script still needs to be adjusted a bit since some communities break again a bit after being fixed

  • Since Lemmy v0.19.4 introduced community visibility settings, why not make this community local only?

    Jump

  • People interact with the site that dont have accounts on the site

    Making it local only would lock them out of news and discussion about something they interact with

  • Problem with !data_structures

    Jump

  • There was some maintenance to try to fix things but things ended up not being resolved so had to be rolled back and there should be another maintenance period in the future again

  • Alternate theme subdomains are down

    Jump

  • should be back

  • Problem with !data_structures

    Jump

  • Been getting worked on and people have been figuring out how best to fix the issue

  • android_dev seems to be broken somehow

    Jump

  • there are references which is why its a pain to fix and isnt just dropping duplicates

  • android_dev seems to be broken somehow

    Jump

  • I havent been the one looking at the database but im assuming itll be a similar way to how the person table was fixed. Theres essentially duplicate entries for certain communities atm

  • Problem with !data_structures

    Jump

  • Its been getting looked at and we have some more people that are being added on to help out as well

    Daily Godot Tip #8: You can set nodes to be accessed by their name which will let you access it without needing to specify the path to the node. (Only one node can have that unique name for this)
