Progress wiped

I played this game all of last night and hour tonight. I love this game my previous saves I've played to the point of automating nanocarbon alloy. But today I played (started the session missing a little progress from last night (but hey no biggie right this kinda thing happens). I redo that, get a little further and out of nowhere the game starts loading up again like I just entered my save. All of the stuff I did is just gone. Now I just don't wanna play. How am I supposed to enjoy myself redoing literally everything? The icing on the cake... I just used my Xbox points to get the mega tech dlc. I was so excited to play it and now I just can't imagine getting back on. Mind you I love this game, own it on PC Xbox and PlayStation but now I just feel like I completely wasted my time and money. Has anyone else dealt with this kinda thing before?

Don't know what to learn next.

For context I can program in JS (I don't know every little built in function but I know enough to where I can figure out new things within the language) I am comfortable with OOP as well. The problem is most of my experience is working with the Minecraft bedrock scripting API (It's how I learned actually). While that is super fun because it's something I'm passionate about and probably won't stop doing anytime soon. I feel it is time to branch out and learn more. I have a tiny bit of experience working with electron for desktop apps but working with it frustrates me because while I know that I can leverage the libraries and APIs to do certain things. I don't understand what they are built on. Which makes me feel like a child using toys other people made for me. I have considered starting with c. But then I may just find myself feeling the same way, even though I will know more about how hardware and software interact. From my understanding c works for all architecture types due to things I don't quite fully understand yet. For me I'm not sure it would be enough to just have a theoretical understanding of how that works. I'm the kind of person who needs to see it and do it myself to feel like I truly understand why I am able to do certain things with software. Should I start lower with assembly or would that not make a difference and just make things harder for myself? I am still figuring out which discipline of CS I want to study when I go to school but recently I have been thinking about embedded programming. Part of that is that I can both land a job and make cool things for myself from nearly scratch. I feel it would also give me the opportunity to innovate and make a product or service that I could sell myself. My ultimate goal is to one day run a small company that takes no money from investors and make an ethical product free of data harvesting that puts ownership back into the hands of the consumer. Any advice is appreciated! (Aside from telling me not to go into CS because of LLMs I don't care this is what I have decided to do with my life. I want nothing more than to create something of real value for this world)

Need to learn biome gen. Resources?

Scissorsgrinder if you see this I need ya now more than ever lol.

I was hoping for some documentation and best resources on biome generation. (I hear it a little scarce) I volunteered to take care of that part of the addon the group I am a part of is doing. I think this could be a phenomenal learning experience for me despite the fact that I'm tossing myself in the deep here. Anything I can read over to get a basis or deep understanding of it is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

What is the math behind loot tables? (Not how they work as a whole)

I need to recreate the loot system to allow players to create loot tables within the game. I know how a JSON file works please do not explain that to me. My question is the math behind weight and how we as developers can write code to determine whether or not an item drops.

Can we use minecraft:variant in this context?

I have a mini game I would like to make. (That classic blend in with the NPC's game that ever server/sandbox game has) My idea is to use villagers and then replace the player model with that of a villager. Alternatively I've thought about creating a player like npc then just changing the players skin to one of many variants. Upon looking through the documentation I found minecraft:variant. Has anyone used this before? Is this the proper approach for this idea? Also I imagine I use this in combination with a script to change the value of the component?

Unreachable sites from pc not from phone.

Every day I get out of work and many sites just don't work for like the first 30 mins. (unreachable site) Most of the time I Fidel with things and it will eventually start working. When I say fiddle I mean I literally do the most primitive things. For example yesterday I manually pointed my pc towards the rasp pi's IP and that seemed to fix it. So today when I got on and the same thing happened my natural instinct was to check if the change I made had reverted somehow. It had not. I don't even know why its working now and I can access reddit again. All I did was change the dns to some bs rq then change it back. Other thing that's worth noting is that during this I can access my pi hole dash via the web from my phone. However attempting to access the pi from the pc using putty to ssh in yields a fatal error "network unreachable" (I think that's what it said, sorry I know that's important) However now that my internet is working on my pc as I was typing this I used putty to access my PI nice and easy first try no errors.

In my dashboard the error log just has that one common no ntp replies error which I tried to fix in the past unsuccessfully, however as it did not seem to effect anything I ignored it.

Running windows 11 on the main pc. The pi runs on a zero 2w on the official rasp pi distro.

I would like to make 3 people addons so they can play their hunger games maps without any resetting at a discount!

Hopefully I don't come off like some beggar here.

I recently started a new temp job and its not a lot of hours so I need to make a little extra cash with my freelancing. I would like to work through fiverr as it is more secure for both parties. However I have no sales on that platform yet. So it's a bit hard to get that first sale. This is the solution:

One of the services I offer is to make an addon that will handle the entire gameplay loop of your hunger games map down to filling the chests and cleaning up dropped items. Normally I charge $40 for the addon but I'd like to offer 3 people the service for $20.

First come first serve. Must have your own map. (If you need a map that can be negotiated but you will have to wait till after these 3 people have received their addons first.)

In addition you will need to send me your world or if you are on a platform where that is not possible I will need to join your and take down some information like locations of chests and where you want players to spawn.

The only other requirement is that I work and communicate through fiverr. Trust me it is much better for both of us. Say for example someone didn't produce what you ordered, fiverr reimburses you. On the flip side you can't scam me and accept delivery for the addon without me getting paid for this reason fiverr is the only way I will work from now on. Thank you for understanding!

Anybody have a hunger games map they're stuck resetting after every play through?

I offer a service where I will make you an addon that will make your maps playable with no manual reset on your part! It can be customized to your liking. I also have a partner who is a phenomenal builder if you would like a map or maps made. (Additional charge will apply)

If you have your own map it's 50 dollars for the addon every map after that can be integrated for just 10 dollars each. This is a full feature project I am offering anything you may need for $50 dollars any admin controls you can think of and gameplay tweaks.

I now work through fiverr. This is better for security for both parties involved in the transaction. DM me and I will send you a link to my fiverr!

Open for commission

Hey y'all. Just wanted to offer my services to anyone on here. I currently have 2 offers available:

  1. An addon or script

I can make you an addon that contains as many features as you need (Price scales with complexity and quantity of features)

  1. A hunger games map or maps with the addon to make it/them play. With your choice of some additional options. For example do you want a nice little lobby/waiting room for players to start at and queue up at? Do you want multiple in case you feel like changing things up? How about a nice little menu to select which one to use? All things I can do for you? Want to customize the loot to your liking? Sure I can do that? You want me to come up with some little nifty feature so you can make your own loot? I can do that too! I'm a versatile scripter/addon maker who can think on the fly.

Have your own map or maps and need an addon to make them run without manual resetting? Then you won't need a map and your price can be slashed! Please note if you need a map you are hiring both me and my friend who handles building and art in our partnership. For simplicity payment is done through me. And for those who wish to wait I will be on fiverr when they accept some forms I submitted. That allows for a more secure experience for the both of us.

DM me to request my services! I am flexible and can accommodate!

Can we add links to an addon in any way?

I have an addon that I'm making that is just entirely too long of a process to explain in a single message form data or tutorial book. The concept is simple in reality it's just hard to explain in a wall of text and a simple 10-20 minute YouTube video from me the creator who wrote the thing would do it justice much better.

I'm looking to add a link into either a UI form or maybe you click a button on a form and I can send one in chat? If I can't I'm gonna be pretty outta luck here and so are the add-ons future users cause I can't imagine setting this up without a YouTube video for the first time.

How do I know if I bricked a Graphics card? Also any ideas on what could be going on with my PC?

​

Was playing max payne 3 on my sff build (a Lenovo m920x) mind you I played 60% of the game through zero issues it was beautiful felt like my mini PC could do anything. (Within reason lol) Well when I got a certain point it stuttered a bit then just poof black screen no power to the PC. Well when I booted the PC again everything was fine. But I didn't wanna risk it so I just stuck to streaming games from my main PC over to that one. Well recently I decided to give max payne another go. I turned all the graphics down as not to stress the card and hopefully draw less power. Well I got a little further than poof no power again this time when I booted my graphics card was not being recognized by my PC. I rebooted and it seemed to fix things till I realized I was on integrated graphics despite being still plugged into my graphics card. At one point it seemed like maybe the fan on the card spun maybe it's not cooked. rebooting again made the display stop working if not plugged into the motherboard. The PC work fine still and I use it all the time still to watch YouTube and TV. Took the GPU out cause I planned to return it and upgrade to that pink yeston card everyone is always throwing in these PCs. But if my card is still usable I might just end up keeping it anyways. Wanted some advice first. Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to throw this in here I'm far from and expert that's why I'm asking here but could my power supply be shorting under a heavier load? Or perhaps the mother board can't support that much power running through it so it just shuts its self off? Should I switch to a more power efficient CPU?

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: not a function at setBarriers (start_game_logic.js:33)

at next (native)

Don't worry about the function itself it could contain logical errors but that's just because i'm on my "i lost count now" rewrite I will pretty it up when I figure this out first my main question is why am I getting that error is that not how we use the TickingAreaManager class? intellisense in VS code is even telling me its structured:

TickingAreaManager.createTickingArea()

I recently decided the time for going to college is now. I would like to start working towards a career within CS. However I have questions. Really I'm looking for guidance and what to expect.

  1. What safe career options do I really have? Safe meaning finding employment is not often a huge struggle. An example of this (At least in my mind) is game development sure sounds great (and is actually what I would do in a perfect world) but what are my chances of landing a good paying job in that in a reasonable amount of time?

  2. What fields are in demand right now?

  3. What did you find fun to study?

  4. Which classes would be beneficial to take in addition to my required ones.

  5. Most importantly what should I learn now to get myself ahead of the curve? I'm learning JS right now but am at the point where it's no longer a question of individual syntax but the concepts behind programming as a whole

  6. Lastly does anyone have any advice on keeping pace I often fall behind in classes if I don't understand something (and then we build of that thing I don't understand) now I'm 4 lessons back trying to get my bearings back.
