Scratch's Showcase!

[Scratch]

And the original Dark Blue theme ported over to the new build, too.



And something I have wanted in NW for a long time but never was able to due to being tied to fucking WinForms:



@ LD this saves in the "nwd" format (zip contianing json metadata + plaintext data), and exports to pdf, epub, etc. (see Nimble Writer on Steam for more info)

[Scratch]

An interactive shell tool that I can test Steam things with: steam-utils



I also made an in-memry freeze-fix patch for Trackmania

[Louva-Deus]

Can you make an in-memory netcode patch for SS Classic?

[Discy]

So what is that tool useful for?

It lets me see all lobby data of any running lobby. My intention is to add more things to this so I can possibly also look at leaderboards, achievements, etc etc.

[Louva-Deus]

Is there a purpose for any of this or just doing it for the challenge?

[Finzy]

Seeing which servers are up in realtime would be useful for websites I'd imagine. Especially if that works for the moddable version as well, would make checking in on events and whatnot more convenient.

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't be making it, would I? What a weird question.. (The screenshot shows Sam 3, but I've been using this to debug SSBD lobbies)

Well, while it could technically be used for websites, it's purely meant to be a developer debugging visual of lobbies, I guess for websites people would be more inclined to use the official Valve web APIs (which however only returns dedicated servers, not lobbies).

And since this utility uses the steamworks SDK, launching it with an appid meaning you're essentially "launching" the game (as in your profile will say In-Game), so I don't know if this could even be used for something like caching data on a website (in a practical way)

[Scratch]

Splitted up the new Nimble Writer platforming code into a new project for easier creation of new applications (still using Turbobadger)

[Louva-Deus]

I need a nap now.

[Scratch]

It lets me make apps so fast, I have enough time left to take a nap

[Louva-Deus]

Can you make an app for my phone for Discord?

[Louva-Deus]

That doesn't work on Windows Phone.

[Buzzy]

Windows phones usually end up running into problems..

[Louva-Deus]

Like?

[Buzzy]

I dunno i just heard rumours beforehand I haven't used it my self. I remember people telling me that but it was when this "Surface" came out..

[Louva-Deus]

Surface is a tablet PC.

It use Windows RT, not Windows Phone :p

[Scratch]

No, Windows 10 is actually "universal" and runs on both Desktops, Tablets, and Phones, just with a different interface.

[Mane]

Ohhh, right, I forgot it lol, I meant the old Surface, but nevermind because I didn't pay attention and I thought he refers to the new hahaha

[Louva-Deus]

Still waiting for that app...

[Scratch]

I previously made a typing game in C++ but today I said "fuck it" and decided to do it in Love2D (lua) instead (using Moonscript transcompiler) to learn that a bit and see how fast I can do it, managed to make a complete game with multiple stages and local leaderboards in about less than 8 hours..

[Scratch]

Been doing a shitload of reverse engineering on the Trackmania games, with some pretty cool results, it's possible to mod Turbo to load completely different scripts, so I extracted all scripts and put them on Github (with written permission from Nadeo): https://github.com/openplanet-nl/openplanet-turbo

And I'm currently doing another similar weekend project, attempting to bind in-game functions and properties to the Angelscript compiler.

[T-ReXx]

Hey that's really cool!

[Scratch]

I made another thing for Maniaplanet:

[Scratch]

Well

[T-ReXx]

I'd love to know what the hell am I looking at.

[Discy]

Looks to me like the player (player car?) properties. Can you edit that stuff or is it read-only?

Also below that you can see the array GameTerminals. How much stuff can you read/edit?

[Scratch]

They're actually not editable because they're const properties that have an empty setter function (as opposed to (const) fields which can be set regardless), for example Position here is a const property, so that's not editable, and this is an older screenshot that still has an editable field for it, which I removed shortly after.

Also, the path I followed in the class explorer is GameApp -> CurrentPlayground -> Players[0], so you can access pretty much the entire game from there.
