The background is specifically there for readability. It might look cleaner to you, but there's nothing worse than illegible text in a game that you're supposed to read. Many professional games have names visible all the time, it doesn't make it look any less professional. Textual cues like labels are present for a reason.

@jcsnider If the sprite is a different height between different directions and the sheet needs extra padding logic won't matter. The name either needs to be displayed beneath the player, or the padding needs to be dealt with. The only other solution is lowering it per frame by scanning the number of transparent pixel rows in the sprite frame, which is extraordinarily inefficient.

It really doesn't work with the auto updater (since that needs to be the thing run first, not an extractor) and redownloading the entire package is extremely inefficient. tl;dr: Self-extracting archives are probably not the way to go. There's a reason games have installers.

Why I upvoted @MiniGrief's post. ^ No, there is no official way at the moment. Messing with the SQLite DB via PHP is unreliable at best (if they're already in-game it won't be able to kick them, and so when they save it would overwrite any bans you added), and dangerous to your data integrity at worst. The best shot you have of doing this safely is to *hrmhrmhrm*decompile the engine to analyze the WebSocket packet structure and try to pipe your commands through a privileged account that way. That being said that'll probably be harder to do than just waiting for MySQL.

Wait what? I thought you got decent speeds there. :/ Ah, it was a speed concern. Based on your wording I thought you were worried about a metered connection (like a 100GB data cap per month or something).

Your hardware easily supports Intersect, likely by several magnitudes, based on what you said. That being said it would be helpful if you had said what limitations you have on the network. We've not measured network consumption.

You had a lot of idiots putting blind faith in the developers. Either they were malicious and nobody's realized it yet, or everyone got really damn lucky. I'm not willing to take that chance with Intersect though.

You need someone to authenticate any plugin that involves money changing hands, and presumably this environment would allow free plugins too for "seller rep", and those would need to be audited to make sure there weren't malicious.

An unofficial one like Minecraft has would suffer the same problems as Forge does, so the only way would be for it to be an official system rather than source mods -- but we don't have any immediate plans for how to implement this and it's not guaranteed to ever happen either. Still doesn't solve the authentication problem I pointed out with the crowdfunding idea though, as it still requires a team of programmers to review any code submitted in order to claim the money for any given feature.

Doesn't quite alleviate the point I made -- in fact us losing interest drives home mine as an issue, but presumably we'd be handing off repo control to other people. The problem is that these crowdfunded features need maintenance every time there's an Intersect update, and given sufficient customization would render the features unusable for some people (which is sort of dumb).

I was. I was replying to your post. That being said I imagine this is also going to be difficult to administer without us personally verifying quality and functionality prior to transmission of funds.

?

Huh TIL

Wat

wat

I love the backslash. The spacing between it and the s is just perfect.

Its already out of hand. Gwen somehow isn't in the lead.

Ok well then Crest can't be the author

Well to revote you have to just say who you want to vote for instead like Marsh revoted for Crest and Kassie for me... so who do you want to vote for instead?

wtf

Saw your location, thanks for the inspiration. Now I'm ████████.

Read this image carefully. Then count again. @Crest

Since Crest isn't using the same ruler for everyone this statement isn't actually true. He's tied with Gwen and Sky though.

If we include Kas' vote move to me, you me and Sky are tied.
