#Pending Dev tag

[fountainpenguin]

Okay, so I left this note in my "Operation: Birthday Takeback" liveblog:

omg, Dev needs his godparent to stand up for him against Vicky and Peri's having a MELTDOWN and hiding behind his mom. Um??? Holy cow, I've never seen him break like this, except maybe when he gained his fear of the dark in "Lights Out."

I decided to go check if I was right and... Hm.

Good to know!!

!! Saving this to read when I'm done liveblogging

Jet's also the author of a 113k-word Anti-Fairy series I've loved for years, with a focus on the Anti-Cosmo, Anti-Wanda, and Foop family dynamic. Check it out (and give it even more love!)

"The Anti-Fairies" on FFN

Also, if you're a Danny Phantom fan, check out Jet's 400k-word DP series, Friendly Phantoms, on AO3 (15 works at time of posting this, 14 complete so far, and updates regularly rn)

When's the last time I wrote anything for FOP? A New Wish reawakened my love for the franchise, and Dev and Poof/Peri have been living rent-free in my head since Peri's introduction, so...

It's called, "Someone Who Cares." It's a short one-shot that features Peri comforting Dev after Dev's father is terrible to him. More terrible than usual, that is.

Fanfiction

AO3

I wrote it a while ago and put off posting because I wasn't sure if I wanted to add anything to it. Then, "The Battle of the Big Wand" aired and gave me ideas. I'm leaving "Someone Who Cares" as is, but I might be writing another one-shot in the near future.

Intro post time!

Hello, and welcome to the blog archiving the creation of the Ultimate Fnaf World game (a fnaf fangame, name still pending). Currently, a lot of things are still in development, so it should be a fun documenting journey from here. Feel free to send in some asks about the game or me or general fnaf stuff.

Also, this is morphing into a general fnaf fanblog, so there's that. (Too late. it's a full-on fanblog now)

 hey there it’s an intro post!!

hey y’all!! I’m Horatio (pronouns they/he, ul en français avec les accords au masculin) and this is where I keep my shitposts, writing, art, and anything else that may come to mind. I shitpost about everything, write mostly fantasy and random description of walks I take outside, and draw characters and settings and anything else that I fancy.

I am always always always open to answer questions about myself or my goings on! please pop in to say hi :)

navigation of my blog can be found under the cut.

writing

there is no overall writing tag, but you can find my writing in various places:

#horatio’s floortime monologues will have descriptive passages of whatever I may be doing outdoors from time to time.

#[bard and crew wip tag] is where you can find my posts on my current WIP Bard & Crew (title pending) as well as #makes me think of b&c. I will also tag individual characters depending on who pops up. (tags are simply the names of those characters; bard, tulle, sylvia, nox, and ambrose)

art

there is an overall art tag! all of my art can be found under #horatio does art.

game dev

I do also update progress on games that I am making some of the time! all of that can be found under #horatio codes games.

lichen and related fungi

I really like mushrooms, lichen, and moss (all life, really, but these three are kind of a set and my main girls) and when I reblog photos of them I tag em too. those can be found under #fungus posting, #lichen posting, and #moss posting.

what is lichen, you say? I have an informational post on it here.

what is B&C, you say?

here’s a WIP intro!!

I am always open to questions regarding my writing, from vague ones about the plot to deeply specific ones about themes and symbolism. hope to see you in my ask box!

I had a mixed week. Thumbnail rearranging is added, and some bugs and quality of life issues are cleared.

full changelog

thumbnail rearranging

So, if you right-click any thumbnail, you'll now see a 'move' menu. This makes it simple to rearrange your thumbnails. You can move your current selection to the start, the end, left one, right one, or 'to here' if you have multiple selected. If your multiple selection is non-contiguous, it will be made so on move, with the move focusing around the position of the first selected item.

You can also map these commands to keyboard shortcuts under the 'thumbnails' shortcuts set. I haven't added any default shortcuts for this yet, but let me know if and what you would prefer--I've been playing around with ctrl+numpad numbers on my dev machine, and it feels nice to me.

In future I'll try and figure out mouse drag-and-drop rearranging. It might have to wait for a larger pending rewrite of the thumbnail grid though--we'll see.

otnher highlights

Unfortunately, there were a couple of stupid typos in the content processing changes last week. One in the duplicate filter (which the v560a hotfix addressed), and another fixed today that was causing 'already in db' results to not get metadata updates correctly. Sorry for the trouble, and thank you to the users who reported these.

Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Insert is now hardcoded to copy tags from the taglist.

The thumbnail and media viewer menus should now be much thinner. I hate how wide they can get, how annoying it is to hit their many nested submenus when they get like that, so let me know if they still go crazy in some situations.

There was a bitrot issue in v559, the millisecond timestamps conversion, that made it impossible/bad to update from a much older version. This has always been a tricky technical issue to talk about and communicate to the user, so I've now written a better in-client error reporting process that stops the user before the update is even attempted. The upshot this week is that if your client is v551 or older and you try to update to v561 or later, you will be told to update to v558 first.

In lieu of a proper rewrite, I've made some semi-hacky newline processing improvements to the parsing system. If you make downloaders and hate having to deal with extra whitespace in multiline content, notes or otherwise, check out the full changelog and let me know how you get on with it all.

next week

I want to work on github bug reports, which I haven't put proper time into for too long!

@gageddeviant continued from here

His first natural instinct was to flee just like any other time, or play by the rules, keep roaming the halls like an undead, secretly still searching for the exit. Despite the fact that he found himself in a somewhat less terrifying and more active part of the hospital now, with “people” around and daylight for a couple of hours a day, he was still scared all the time, of everyone in here because he knew their true form, their true cause, their true colors. He knew he was the only person alive in here. Or at least had been, until he’d ran into this other person. He couldn’t tell what it was, all he could see was that the clothes didn’t fit the time, just like his hadn’t before they had taken them from him.

He wanted to keep going, talking to himself with closed eyes and shaky hands, telling himself that this was just another test, another trick the building was playing on him in order to break him. But then he had to stop in his tracks. He could already see some guards coming and with this maybe being his only chance at a connection back into his own timeline, he decided to take his chances anyway. No matter what possible punishments could follow if he were wrong about it. In the end, he supposed, at least they wouldn’t kill him for falling for another trick of theirs. After all, if they wanted to really kill him, they’d had dozens of chances and right opportunities to do so and never acted on them.

Lance turned on his heels, quickly walking back towards the person he’d run into, grabbing her arm harshly as he pulled her to the side and started hissing at her.

“How’d you get here. I���ve never seen you before, are you one of them? Huh? Are you..” he suddenly started laughing to himself, staring at the ceiling for a moment. “My god, please tell me you didn’t pull the same shit as me and my crew and got stuck in here too.”

Battle of the Dimmsonian - Random 2nd watch thoughts that made me laugh

Dev's boots...

I like how stressed Dev gets when trying to walk Peri through the plan to find and talk to Hazel. "We're near Hazel! And I haven't talked to her since our argument at the Founder's Day festival!!"

Do not slow the boy. He has places to go.

Specifically, I like how he's trying to plot this out with his hands.

He could've learned that from anywhere, but I like to think he's seen his dad do that when organizing things.

?!?!?!? This is so much funnier on my rewatch. When Dev wishes for the staff, Peri just...

... picks it up and gives it to him.

I mean, I GUESS!!

Also, Dev bragging in this episode about how he pays attention in history class is fantastic with the "Best of Luck" context that after receiving Irep, who can grant rule-breaking wishes, Dev... still opts to go to class instead of messing around with those powers.

The boy wants to LEARN!!

Okay updates on various things:

- Talas ref is done, legally, but pending me changing a marking that ive been struggling with for a While because im a bastard so I'll get that done this week hopefully and make a big post about it (basically including this ref and the big eel one but with the tweak. Yes again. Sorry)

- I also have made a reference for a new character for a new oc project that i cant talk about yet because its WIP but if you're wondering what my 1core/horrorverse tag is, its that. If you have completely unhinged scifi memes please send them. I need a collection with which to torment my friends

- Also. bully me into committing to the weekly violence bc i have so many ideas. I do have a sketch for this week too so hopefully i will get that done as well (its all generic edgy drawings babeyyyy wooooo as it should be. I WILL be drawing the same thing over and over and over)

- i need to talk and gush and dev stuff about hollowridge so much its unreal. I should make a doc. Oohh yeah its all coming together (stirring the soup in my brain without any cohesion)

- I made small playlists for my four main ocs so i could share publicly, and was planning on drawing a little cover for each but I may just recycle some art for them so i can share them djkfgk. I lov musique

Wow, this is the first really interesting RP i've seen in the tags in a while!! I'm having fun pouring over the lore and pages. I know you have a wanted connections list, but in general, do you have any TYPES of characters you think would be useful to the dash, or from certain organizations? Also, do you have any FCs that in general, the members/admins would really like to see? FCs sort of overwhelm me because there's so many great ones I never know where to start! Male or NB preferred! Thnx!!

Thank you, nonnie! We would love to have some more Asena affiliates, and a little inspo on character types we can offer are...

Informants under special protection of Asenas with a closing time frame for their initiation into the organization, our unaffiliated dealer c role: a narcotics dealer that sells prescription based drugs by stealing them from their place of work or steal them directly from sources such as hospital, independent bounty hunters plagued by their past in assassin work, heist specialists who have a feud with the current team they work with, medics who work specifically for a crime organization, a member of the Asenas Arslan family who wants to climb their way back to controlling the organization, private investigators who have overstayed their welcome, newly weds who married in Vegas and were torn apart by a vow to different crime organizations, employee at Asena Bank eager to initiate, an Asena family member who wants no part of their crime, former performers who thought they had a chance at making it big in the hands of a crime organization and now they're stranded with blood on their hands right where they started, any of the Asena crime roles, The Mirage employees, underground fighters at Styx, escorts and dancers at the Mirage, casino workers, independent assassins, con artists, Cytherea Gallery employees, heist specialists, employees at the Asena Bank, staff at Delos Hospital, bouncers, street dealers, members of the Brothers of Ichor, House of Dion employees, heist specialists that are affiliated and heist specialists that are unaffiliated, characters who are certain in their vow to the life of crime, characters on the run, and characters who have made crime oaths for the sake of other family members, character who have made crime oaths to spite other family members!

Here are some of the face claims we're eager to see!

Version 428

windows

zip

exe

macOS

app

linux

tar.gz

I had a good couple weeks working on the taglist code and some other jobs.

If you are on Windows and use the 'extract' release, you may want to do a 'clean' install this week. Extra notes below.

taglists

So, I took some time to make taglists work a lot cleaner behind the scenes and support more types of data. A heap of code is cleaner, and various small logical problems related to menus are fixed. The tag right-click menu is also more compact, quicker to see and do what you want.

The main benefits though are in the manage tags dialog. Now, the '(will display as xxx)' sibling suffix colours in the correct namespace for the sibling, and parents 'hang' underneath all tags in all the lists. It is now much easier to see why a parent or sibling is appearing for a file.

This is a first attempt. I really like how these basically work, but it can get a bit busy with many tags. With the cleaner code, it will be much easier to expand in future. I expect to add 'expand/collapse parents' settings and more sorts, and maybe shade parents a bit transparent, in the coming weeks. Please let me know how it works for you IRL and I'll keep working.

the rest

The main nitter site seems to be overloaded. They have a bunch of mirrors listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances

I picked two roughly at random and added new downloaders for them. If you have Nitter subs, please move their 'sources' over, and they should start working again (they might need to do a bit of 'resync' and will complain about file limits being hit since the URLs are different, but give them time). If you would rather use another mirror, feel free to duplicate your own downloaders as well. Thanks to a user who helped here with some fixed-up parsers.

I gave the recently borked grouped 'status' sort in thread watchers and downloader pages another go, and I improved the reporting there overall. The 'working' status shouldn't flicker on and off as much, there is a new 'pending' status for downloaders waiting for a work slot, and the 'file status' icon column now shows the 'stop' symbol when files are all done.

The menu entry to 'open similar-looking files' is now further up on thumbnails' 'open' submenus.

The duplicate filter has its navigation buttons on the right-hand hover window rearranged a bit. It is silly to have both 'previous' and 'next' when there are only two files, so I merged them. You can also set 'view next' as a separate shortcut for the duplicate filter, if you want to map 'flip file' to something else just for the filter.

windows clean install

If you use the Windows installer, do not worry, these issues are fixed automatically for you from now on.

I updated to a new dev machine this week. Some libraries were updated, and there is now a dll conflict, where a dll from an older version is interfering with a new one. As it happens, the library that fails to load is one I made optional this week, so it doesn't ''seem'' to actually stop you from booting the client, but it will stop you from running the Client API in https if you never did it before (the library does ssl certificate generation).

It is good to be clean, so if you extract the Windows release, you may want to follow this guide this week: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/getting_started_installing.html#clean_installs

full list

interesting taglist changes:

taglists work way better behind the scenes

when siblings display with the '(will display as xxx)' suffix, this text is now coloured by the correct namespace!

parents now show in 'manage tags dialog' taglists! they show up just like in a write/edit tag autocomplete results list

the tag right-click menu has had a pass. 'copy' is now at the top, the 'siblings and parents' menu is split into 'siblings' and 'parents' with counts on the top menu label and the submenus for each merged, and the 'open in new page' commands are tucked into an 'open' submenu. the menu is typically much tighter than before

when you hit 'select files with these tags' from a taglist, the thumbgrid now takes keyboard focus if you want to hit F7 or whatever

custom tag presentation (_options->tag presentation_, when you set to always hide namespaces or use custom namespace separator in read/search views) is more reliable across the program. it isn't perfect yet, but I'll keep working

a heap of taglist code has been cleaned up. some weird logical issues should be better

now the code is nicer to work with, I am interested in feedback on how to further improve display and workflows here

.

the rest:

added two mirrors for nitter, whose main site is failing due to load. I added them randomly from the page here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances . if you have nitter subs, please move their download source to one of the mirrors or set up your own url classes to other mirror addresses. thanks to a user for providing other parser fixes here

gallery download pages now show the 'stop' character in the small file column when the files are done

gallery download pages now report their 'working' status without flicker, and they report 'pending' when waiting for a download slot (this situation is a legacy hardcoded bottleneck that has been confusing)

thread watchers also now have the concept of 'pending', and also report when they are next checking

improved the new grouped status sort on gallery downloader and watcher pages. the ascending order is now DONE, working, pending, checking later (for watchers), paused

the network request delay after a system resume is now editable under the new options->system panel. default is 15 seconds

the 'wait on files too' option is moved from 'files and trash' to this panel

when the 'just woke' status is active, you now get a little popup with a cancel button to override it

'open similar-looking files' thumbnail menu entry is moved up from file relationships to the 'open' menu

the duplicate filter right-hand hover window no longer has both 'previous' and 'next' buttons, since they both act as 'flip', and the merged button is moved down, made bigger, and has a new icon

added 'view next' to the duplicate filter shortcut set, so you can set a custom 'flip between pair' mapping just for that filter

thanks to a user helping me out, I was able to figure out a set of lookups in the sibling/parent system that were performing unacceptably slow for some users. this was due to common older versions of sqlite that could not optimise a join with a multi-index OR expression. these queries are now simpler and should perform well for all clients. if your autocomplete results from a search page with thumbs were achingly slow, let me know how they work now!

the hydrus url normalisation code now treats '+' more carefully. search queries like 6+girls should now work correctly on their own on sites where '+' is used as a tag separator. they no longer have to be mixed with other tags to work

.

small/specific stuff:

the similar files maintenance search on shutdown now reports file progress every 10 files and initialises on 0. it also has faster startup time in all cases

when a service is deleted, all currently open file pages will check their current file and tag domains and update to nicer defaults if they were pointed at the now-missing services

improved missing service error handling for file searches in general--this can still hit an export folder pointed at a missing service

improved missing service error handling for tag autocomplete searches, just in case there are still some holes here

fixed a couple small things in the running from source help and added a bit about Visual Studio Build Tools on Windows

PyOpenSSL is now optional. it is only needed to generate the crt/key files for https hosting. if you try to boot the server or run the client api in https without the files and without the module available to generate new ones, you now get a nice error. the availability of this library is now in the client's about window

the mpv player will no longer throw ugly errors when you try to seek on a file that its API interface cannot support

loading a file in the media viewer no longer waits on the file system lock on the main thread (it was, very briefly), so the UI won't hang if you click a thumb just after waking up or while a big file job is going on

the 'just woke' code is a little cleaner all around

the user-made downloader repository link is now more obvious on Lain's import dialog

an old hardcoded url class sorting preference that meant gallery urls would be matched against urls before post, and post before file, is now eliminated. url classes are now just preferenced by number of path components, then how many parameters, then by example url length, with higher numbers matching first (the aim is that the more 'specific' and complicated a url class, the earlier it should attempt to match)

updated some of the labelling in manage tag siblings and parents

when you search autocomplete tags with short inputs, they do not currently give all 'collapsed' matching results, so an input of 'a' or '/a/' does not give the '/a/' tag. this is an artifact of the new search cache. after looking at the new code, there is no way I can currently provide these results efficiently. I tested the best I could figure out, but it would have added 20-200ms lag on all PTR searches, so instead I have made a plan to resurrect an old cache in a more efficient way. please bear with me on this problem

tag searches that only include unusual characters like ? or & are now supported without having to lead the query with an asterisk. they will be slower than normal text search

fixed a bug in the 'add tags before import' dialog for local imports where deleting a 'quick namespace' was not updating the tag list above

.

windows clean install:

I moved to a new windows dev machine this week and a bunch of libraries were updated. I do not believe the update on Windows _needs_ a clean install this week, as a new dll conflict actually hits the coincidentally now-optional PyOpenSSL, but it is worth doing if you want to start using the Client API soon, and it has been a while, so let's be nice and clean. if you extract the release on Windows, please check out this guide: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/help/getting_started_installing.html#clean_installs

the Windows installer has been updated to remove many old files. it should now do clever clean installs every week, you have nothing to worry about!™

.

boring db breakup:

the local tags cache, which caches tags for your commonly-accessed hard drive files, is now spun off to its own module

on invalid tag repair, the new master tags module and local tags cache are now better about forgetting broken tags

the main service store is spun off to its own module. several instances of service creation, deletion, update and basic fetching are merged and cleaned here. should improve a couple of logical edge cases with update and reset

.

boring taglist changes:

taglists no longer manage text and predicates, but a generalised item class that now handles all text/tag/predicate generation

taglist items can occupy more than one row. all position index calculations are now separate from logical index calculations in selection, sizing, sorting, display, and navigation

all taglist items can present multiple colours per row, like OR predicates

items are responsible for sibling and parent presentation, decoupling a heap of list responsibility mess

tag filter and tag colour lists are now a separate type handled by their own item types

subordinate parent predicates (as previously shown just in write/edit autocomplete result lists) are now part of multi-row items. previously they were 'quiet' rows with special rules that hung beneath the real result. some related selection/publish logic is a bit cleaner now

string tag items are now aware of their parents and so can present them just like autocomplete results in write/edit contexts

the main taglist content update routines have significantly reduced overhead. the various expansions this week add some, so we'll see how this all shakes out

the asynchronous sibling/parent update routine that populates sibling and parent data for certain lists is smarter and saves more work when data is cached

old borked out selection/hitting-skipping code that jumped over labels and parents is now removed

'show siblings and parents' behaviour is more unified now. basically they don't show in read/search, but do in write/edit

a heap of bad old taglist code has been deleted or cleaned up

next week

This was a big couple of weeks. Setting up the new dev machine--I replaced my six year old HP office computer with a nice mini-pc with an SSD--worked out great, but there were some headaches as always. The taglist work was a lot too. I'll take next week a little easier, just working misc small jobs.
