Wiz Learnin | Update 2/22/17 | Better Particles · · 15 likes


Hi!

I have been thinking about getting into graphics for a while and here seems like a decent place to start. I don't really have a whole lotta time so I'll probably only update this every few days.

I figured keep all my crap in one place and update the title with a date when I post an update cuz I'll probably be studying this for a while and I'll produce a lotta trash before making something decent.

My first WIP is Torn's Armalite using Blender to 3d model:

[image: i.imgur.com]

I've spent about an hour on it and I'm wondering how to turn it into a sig.

I've been thinking about doing something like this. Except like an armalite blueprint. A 3dish blueprint xD

I'll update this when the armalite is done and I've started seeing what I want to do with it. Probably gonna take a me about 3-4 hours to pump out the entire armalite at the current rate. I gotta bring my modeling time down if I want a shot at this I think

Thank you guys for watching this journey!

-- 2/2/17--

Alright I'm slowly adding detail. If this model were to move I have to do some re-topology I think. I messed up some of my geometry and a lotta it is eyeballed vs manually entering in numbers into the blender's coordinate inputs so some things aren't perfectly even. I guess on torn's forum resolution it's probably okay though.

I want to see how an animated gif will look here so I'll test it in this post.

I signed up for sheepit (render farm) and they gave me some free credits that might expire in May so I'm thinking about doing a few animated things. I'll do more stuff this weekend and see what I can come up with.

-- Attempted Animation Update 2/10/17 --

[image: i.imgur.com]

There's some major things that don't look good in this animation. The particles start taking up too much space at the end of the sig and the rush of particles looks pretty ugly imo. The end kinda shoots off into nowhere and if it's intended to look like it's creating the text it breaks the illusion. Also the end of the trail is much smaller than the text so that also kinda stops the intended effect. Maybe revealing the text should be done in a > shape or maybe it should reveal a bit slow from the mid point of the text. I also think the particles are leading the text by a bit.

-- Metal abstract 2/14/17 --

edited, sold

I resized it to the new forum size I think. 600*100? I really wanna animate this but it's gonna take a long time so I think I'm gonna bump the thread and ask for feedback about this before doing it.

-- New piece 2/22 --

I'm not sure what I'll do from here yet.

[image: i.imgur.com]

I think after seeing what I can do about the text in the other version I'm gonna go ahead and take some time to realllllyy learn blender. I'm gonna revamp this thread later and make it easy for people to follow along and learn from. I'll probably turn this whole thread next weekend into a compilation of tutorials with my own insight added in here and there. I'm pretty interested into getting into photorealism which I guess is pretty far off into the future. I'll get into it after really learning the math behind what's going on in blender. To do that I'll probably have to write some shaders.

The change on 8/31/26 possibly introduced this issue as it was properly updating before that

 

It seems to have mostly just affected poker, other areas do not seem afflicted

 

This also happens when leaving the table and is much more of a a pain, because it lead to a bunch of players getting mugged unexpectedly 

Poker mugging buffed since last monday? · · 6 likes

When leaving the poker tables for the past few months, I have been doing the following:

  1. Open a new tab at the stock market
  2. Select the stock i want to buy
  3. Leave the poker table
  4. Quickly switch to the next tab and jam the fill max button.
  5. Then buy

 

I attached a video demo:

https://i.imgur.com/EKB6vNx.mp4

 

This banking method no longer seems to work as demonstrated in the video.

I noticed this change on Tuesday when I got owned:

23:41:44 - 01/09/26 Punish3r mugged you and stole $189,092,691 [view]

 

 

Did something change on the backend? I don't see anything in the patch notes

This behavior also occurs when sitting at the table - the cash on hand doesn't update immediately when you sit down in any tab. It only updates if you refresh all your tabs.

 

I'll probably file a bug and issue report tomorrow with more videos documenting the discrepancy. Seems all other money gaining or deducting methods haven't been affected by the change

Apply rathole protection to all tables ·

There's a problem at the lower stakes where some torn players will get a big stack and push all in at a very high frequency. Obviously it's a bad strategy and will lose money against competent players, but it devolves the game for everyone else into sitting and waiting for premiums. It does exploit impatient noobs at lower tables though.

 

If you allow someone to take their big stack they grew from all in shoving and bullying noobs from ballsy 1 to other ballsy tables they can kill the next table too.

 

I noticed this was happening when I played a few rounds at the lower tables a few weeks ago. 

[Challenge] Torn Poker Ladder ·

It's just for fun if you find it fun

 

I goofed up my first run because I didn't know I couldn't drop back in table stakes unless I lost enough cash to drop (if i'm understanding the rules right)

 

I don't think I'm doing another run as I haven't gotten to the point where I can sit on oligarch the normal way 

I Tracked 400,000 Torn Poker Hands. Here's What I Found · · 3 likes

One observation that's interesting if that if we were to concert TCD to usd at a rate of 5 usd for 25m, cat's chance is only 50 cent big blinds. The smallest I can buy in for at a casino near me is $3 big blind so 6x cats chance. The smaller tables on torn are pretty much super micro stakes like penny blinds. I think it makes sense that we don't see better play on torn - the stakes most people can afford is pretty much the equivalent of pennies irl - basically home game with friends who don't really play kinda level

Sound only when it's my turn ·

Yeah earbuds, I've been using the current sound system for the past week since I've returned 

 

The sound indicating my turn seems softer than the rest of the sounds, but maybe I'm crazy lol 

 

It's more optimal to be paying attention instead of multitasking, yeah, but my BB/hr on cat's chance is absurdly high even with all the river wizard lumped into my stats it's still around 60BB/hr. The biggest gain at my level isn't going to be from watching other torn players. It'll be from hand review and studying other better players

Sound only when it's my turn ·

I didn't make the rule up 🤣

 

https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=67&t=16037108&b=0&a=0

 

Such software must not make additional non-API requests to Torn, scrape pages that are not currently being viewed, attempt

 

If I'm alt tabbed, and I use a MutationObserver to view the poker tab while I'm not watching it, it would violate this rule. 

 

Torn poker currently already has sound. Was thinking it might be implemented via separate sound files that could be overwritten. 

 

I do see an array that looks promising in this file but I have no idea how I could shut some of em off. Not sure if there's an easy way to modify a js file:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10075620/chrome-extension-to-modify-pages-script-includes-and-js

 

This suggests I would have to substitute the js file which to me seems unlikely to work but I haven't tested it 

Sound only when it's my turn ·

Does anyone have a legal script for this? I used to use a home made one but at some point I think they ruled you aren't allowed to scrape torn pages you aren't watching and my script did that to play sound on my move. 

 

I think it would still be allowed if the script muted all sounds except the timer and your turn sounds, but i haven't investigated how hard it'd be to do that. 

 

If no one's got one I'll either make it myself in a few months when I have the mental head space or hire someone to do it

I Broke By accident ·

Rule that most poker players recommend is never sit down at a cash game with more than 1/20th of what you're willing to lose. If your bankroll is 20m I recommend only sitting at ballsy or below if you max buy for 500k. If you drop to 10m or below you violate the 1/20th rule and move down the stakes again.

You can move back up when you have 20 buy ins again 

 

I don't think many will send you money to gamble with but if you intend to play more you can do some crimes and travel for some initial cash and grind up from the smaller stakes. Or stay small stakes if it's not going well

Fly out sidebar??? Get out of here!! ·

I had the same issue with back swiping. I realized I can summon the side bar via starting the swipe from the center of the screen.

 

I don't know if you have the issue because you swipe from the edge and didn't realize you could swipe from the center like I did. Just posting in case that's what happened

Seems like from the 23-26th she got hit 5 times. If they were all max length hospital stays I think it adds up to about 7.5 hours of medical cd over 3 days if she's healing out with blood bags and using small first aid and big first aid kits as needed. 

 

The rate of attacks looks pretty inconsequential as she won't ever hit the limit unless she meds out and instantly get attacked back to back 5-10 times

 

You can just send over a few blood bags / small first aid kits / first aid kits and she can med out when it's time to train 

See this if the attacks ramp up:

Learning to conserve med cd is good practice for warring if you ever end up interested in that

[+250R] Change blood type using points · · 3 likes

It's a low amount of people playing torn, but any potential new recruits to torn could be. It's really bad if you want to be a trader or you want to deal with any large amount of money on the regular.

Torn has a lot of appeal to older gamers who were born around my time who are old enough to have played 3d mmos like runescape but not old enough to have played a text based mmo.

I got asked in a discord chat if i played any mmos and I was like hey I've been playing a text based mmo for near ten years. That alone sparks immediate interest. The problem is, I can't recommend the game without mentioning there's a 5% chance a new player has to restart their account to safely deal with transacting money and that alone is enough to stop anyone from giving it a try

I almost managed to convince a few old irl poker buddies of mine to play this game. But then I made the mistake of telling em there was a chance they'd have to restart if they wanted to protect their cash if they low rolled AB+ and now they won't ever play.

Now I'll never get this merit:

Could we also amend the suggestion so players start with 1 free blood type reroll?
