DST about to be abolished in the EU.

Interesting, it was introduced because there was a problem with energy (hence the name). But is has never been proven that the effect of saving was actually achieved, apart from miniscule 0.x percent here and there.

Now it is being sacked because ... there's a problem with energy ?

Anyway and whatever, good riddance and ciao:

Not 100% serious :-)

    Finally. What a pointless thing. Good riddance.

      Isn't there an effort to make it all-year in the U.S.? That's beyond pointless.

      You'll have a bunch of women complaining that their kids are waiting for the bus in the dark and they won't do it. Happens every so often in the US.

      @cybereality I changed the CSS and now it should use less screen space on screens with aspect ratios larger than 16/9 with horizontal screen resolutions of 2000+. Unfortunately, I do not have a different sized screen so I am not 100% sure it works. I used the following CSS override:

      /* Use less space on aspect ratios larger than 16/9 */
@media screen and (min-aspect-ratio: 17/10) and (min-width: 2000) {
    .container {
        width: 60%;
    }
}

      If you have a chance, can you let me know if it looks better now on your 21:9 display?

        Well, they can always shift school hours, instead of half a world ...

        No, it doesn't work. I think you forgot to specify pixels.

            My scene isn’t reloading properly, can anybody help?

            I implied a win/lose system based on a tutorial I watched on YouTube and it should give the player the ability toe reloading the level after failure. However, the reloading feature doesn’t seem to work probably. Even though the scene reloads, the player still all the weapons and ammo they’ve picked; that doesn’t make sense to me since the player’s health reloaded probably. Also, I haven’t even implemented a save system yet; I’m confused!

            I never had this problem before when I followed the tutorial in question but, that’s probably because I wasn’t following the tutorial “properly” back then. Back then, I refused to signals use auto-loaded to manage the game with signals as the tutorial instructed.
            Instead, what I did was add a screen to the top node in the level and then managed the whole level with that one script. If I wanted to transfer info from place to another, I’d just use “owner” a lot. When I did things my way; everything was just fine.

            However, what inspired me to disobey the tutorial was pure laziness; I didn’t want to learn about using signals with code. So when the opportunity presented itself, I followed the tutorial “properly” as much as possible and that’s when the problem I describe manifested.

            Perhaps I made some sort of mistake following the tutorial or perhaps it’s a problem with the version of Godot I’m using now (3.5); there is also the possibility that the tutorial just wasn’t made for a game as complicated as mine. Here is the code I use for reloading the scene:

            func _input(event):
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("reload") and ( win == true or lose == true):
		get_tree().reload_current_scene()

            Here is a link to the tutorial I was following:

            Now I’m not in a rush to fix this problem, because I’ve other issues with my game that I’m trying to sort out. However, this is a huge problem for me and I don’t even know how to fix. Could anyone give me some help?

              I've not checked the tutorial or anything, but first thing I would try is
              print(get_tree().reload_current_scene()

              according to the docs, this should ...

              Returns @GlobalScope.OK on success, @GlobalScope.ERR_UNCONFIGURED if no current_scene was defined yet, @GlobalScope.ERR_CANT_OPEN if current_scene cannot be loaded into a PackedScene, or @GlobalScope.ERR_CANT_CREATE if the scene cannot be instantiated.

              Though printing it might just be an enum or something idk. Might help in understanding the cause at least.

                  Does anyone know any alternative ways of reloading a scene?

                  It might be due to Autoloads. Those are always present and outside the normal tree.

                    One more iteration of my low poly character. I've been watching Sherlock Holmes cartoons and that's about the level of detail I want in my characters. Still low poly. I can get a lot of variety by morphing a base mesh and changing clothes, colors, etc.

                      fire7side Nice, I've been up to something very similar though with a lot more shader code and watercolor paints than polygons. It's a shame I'm away from home for a week. A week with no photo scanner or sketching backlight. In theory based off the pages of incomprehensible handwriting and scribbling in the one sketchbook i have, it should work fine once I have the backlight making sure i'm drawing the same lines 50x over for the photo scanner.

                          I just made an app in Godot that generates lottery numbers. Current jackpot is $1 billion dollars. You gotta be in it to win it!!!

                            packrat One of these days I'm going to get around to looking at shaders. I have to get the basics down first.

                                fire7side Take a week and study this. The longer you struggle, the longer you wind up remembering what you learned.
                                The hardest part is translating the 4 words gdshader and glsl disagree on, such as COLOR is actually gl_FragColor in glsl. I won't say how long that took me to figure out as a wee 21 year old, otherwise I will be embarrassed, and maybe even shed a tear.
