this plugin by coderatte is really useful for making or customizing your own balloons (how to use: drag or copy the nar file from where you downloaded it to the plugins folder wherever you installed SSP, After installation, right-click on Ghost→Plugin→BalloonMaker. )

Crisps' Basic Blender Plugins

I made two basic Blender plugins, one to easily center objects in the scene, and the other to easily remove and re-add numbering from bone names.

Both plugins require Blender 2.8 or above.  They were tested in Blender 2.9, 3.6 and 4.0 on Windows. (Please report if anything explodes so that I can fix it. I've not coded much for Blender before so these are probably wonky.)

Both are found in the Item tab in Object mode.

Basic Move Tool

Save a few clicks sitting objects’ asses on the scene origin.

Sit Selected at Scene Origin Moves all selected Mesh, Curve and Text/Font objects to the scene’s origin, their lowest points at height zero. The objects’ own origins (pivot points) move with them, but keep their relative positions in object space. Sit Selected & its Origin(s) at Scene Origin Moves all selected objects to the scene’s origin, their lowest points at height zero. Their origins (pivot points) are also moved there. ! Apply -> Rotation to your objects before use if they’ve been rotated.  I use bounding box information to calculate objects’ lowest points. Bounding boxes are automatically updated when an object is translated or scaled, but not on rotation 🤔

Bone Name Manager

Remove a substring/pattern from bones’ names; save and restore the originals via save file. The default pattern is  “#\d+$”: “#” followed by numbers at the end of the name string.

I created this one because the GMDC Import/Export plugin requires the bones to be numbered, but that breaks the symmetry mode for weight painting. I wanted an easy alternative to renaming and re-renaming them by hand.

Use Custom Regex? If ticked, the plugin will use the specified regular expression instead of its default pattern. Only the first match found in a name will be taken into account. Strip Bone Names Removes elements matching the pattern from bones’ names. The original names are not saved. Save Bone Names to File Creates a json file listing and mapping stripped and original bone names to each other. Uses the Save Path. The bones are not renamed. Strip Bone Names and Save to File Creates a json file listing and mapping stripped and original bone names to each other. Uses the Save Path. Removes elements matching the pattern from bones’ names.  Restore Bone Names from File From a valid json file, loads the mapping of stripped to original names and renames bones accordingly. Uses the Load Path. Will fail if the current pattern is different from the one used by the file.

-> Download both at Box or SimFileShare

(I'm not sure about the ethics of putting non-sims stuff on SimFileShare, so I may remove that link.)

Etc. Jam 2024 has concluded, and here are the results!

Before we get into it, just a reminder that Etc. Jam will be moving to the start of the year, and will take place before Ghost Jam. That means we'll be hosting another one in a few months, so keep an eye out if you'd like to participate!

This year's event was announced at the last minute, so there wasn't as much participation as last year. Even so, there were 8 projects by 7 participants!

Of those projects, 3 of them were balloons, and there was one shell, freeshell, calendar skin, guide, and plugin.

3 projects were completed in just 24 hours, completing the 24 hour challenge, and 3 users completed the variety challenge by creating at least 2 projects of different types!

Congratulations to everyone who participated!

And without further ado, see below for the list of projects!

Thanking my RSS readers

I just stumbled across this nice little message at the bottom of all posts on @kev@fosstodon.org ‘s blog: I do want to encourage folks to use RSS more on my site, but this little message made me realize I don’t actually acknowledge my RSS readers. I should, and that little message is a nice way to do just that! Continue reading Thanking my RSS readers

Missing File Skipper for MZ

This plugin will give a warning to the player and then allow them to bypass the error. A very useful tool for playtesters and players alike. It will skip missing se, me, bgs, and bgm sound files, images, effects, and videos, all while putting up a pop-up that says exactly what is missing.

There's a default error message that says what address the file is missing from, and can be customized to include where to best reach you as the dev if a missing file trips the error. The error message can also be made to show up in the f12 console instead of the pop-up message box if you'd rather have a less intrusive warning when playtesting on your own. 

Note: This plugin will not stop your game from crashing if an important map or data file is missing. It's only meant to skip non-vital files that may be missing.

Inspired by Krosk's Find File script for VX Ace

Huge thanks to Gimmer, for without their help and guidance this would have never been finished.

SSP PLUGIN RECOMMENDATIONS

Do you want to customize and expand your desktop buddy experience further? here are some handy links to miscellaneous plug-ins I’ve gathered from around the web, or you can even program your own, and they can also be written in any programming language so the possibilities are limitless! plug-ins are essentially  extensions or add-on built for SSP. I’m not a plugin developer myself, and have yet to test out each one of them for extended periods of time, so please refer to the readme files/ instructions provided by the developers (github usually has info) on how to use them if you get stuck or encounter issues.  these are just some of the more recently updated ones, I'll be adding more to the plugin page of my blog if you're interested.

Weather Station by Zicheq (of Ukagaka Dream Team) A plugin for both users and devs, for getting weather data! As a developer, you can set your ghost up to receive weather data from this plugin, to then do what you will with! Weather based comments? Outfit changes? Something else totally unrelated? It’s up to you! This plugin will handle the messy details of the user inputting their location and gathering the weather data for you. … (read more here)

Discord Rich Presence by Ponapalt (main dev of SSP baseware) This plugin is designed for displaying the name of the primary ghost you have open on the ‘currently playing’ status on the Discord for Windows application in real-time. also compatible with displaying your currently played song in FLUX (a really awesome music player ghost by Zi).

CeVIO-Talker V2 Plug-in by Ambergon This Plug-in was initially revealed for Day 21 of the Ukagaka Advent Calendar collaborative project in 2022. using this you can have a fully voiced ghost with a realistic sounding voicebank speak to you out loud! (in English too?) it Requires ceVIO Creative Studio and SSP 2.6.45 (or newer) to work, ceVIO is a vocal synthesizer software commonly compared to Vocaloid and UTAU that works via text-to-speech method. the primary difference between Vocaloid and ceVIO is that ceVIO is built for both TTS/speech and creating vocals for songs in music production. you can download a demo of CeVIO if you would like to try it out here.

GhostSpeaker by apxxxxxxe like CeVIO-Talker, this Plug-in was initially revealed for Day 17 of the Ukagaka Advent Calendar collaborative project in 2023. it’s a successor to the Bouyomi-chan plug-in and utilizes a free (Japanese) text-to-speech software called VOICEVOX and COEIROINK so that your ghost can verbalize their balloon dialogue and speak to you. you can listen to a demo in this github link.

GhostWardrobe by apxxxxxxe allows you to dress up your ghost in different coordinates, mix and match pieces and save and load the outfit combinations from the plugin menu.

CharameL plugin   by Umeici This software allows you to enjoy watching ghosts directly interact and chat amongst each other freely on the built in instant messenger.

Work Smarter, Not Harder Use Dropbox As WordPress Hosting

Running a WordPress site often means juggling increasing hosting costs as your content grows. Many website owners find themselves paying premium prices for storage space, especially when their sites become media-heavy with images, videos, and documents.

Maximize Efficiency and Minimize Hosting Costs with Our Integrate Dropbox Plugin for WordPress

Integrate Dropbox best plugin for WordPress. Our Dropbox integration plugin reimagines how WordPress handles media storage. Instead of relying solely on your hosting server's storage, your media library seamlessly connects with Dropbox's robust infrastructure.

In the digital age, managing media files and optimizing website performance are top priorities for businesses and content creators. The balance between delivering rich media content and maintaining hosting efficiency can be challenging. That’s where Dropbox Integration Plugin comes in, providing a seamless bridge between Dropbox and WordPress to help you streamline file management, save on hosting costs, and enhance your user experience—all without coding hassles.

Why Hosting Optimization Matters

Every media file, video, or high-quality image hosted directly on your WordPress site consumes hosting resources. For companies scaling their content, this can quickly lead to higher hosting costs, slower load times, and potential website downtime. By integrating Dropbox with WordPress, CodeConfig’s plugin allows users to manage, display, and play Dropbox-hosted files directly on their site, significantly reducing the hosting load.

Integrate Dropbox Key Features To Solve Real Problems

Our plugin is packed with features designed to make Dropbox integration simple, secure, and efficient:

Media Library Integration Directly access Dropbox files from your WordPress Media Library. Upload files, use high-quality images for featured posts, and seamlessly add media to your content without overloading your hosting.

Elementor and Gutenberg Integration Designed to work with popular page builders, our plugin offers 7 customizable blocks for Gutenberg and over 7 Elementor widgets. Effortlessly add Dropbox-hosted media, galleries, sliders, and file browsers to your pages without coding.

WooCommerce Compatibility For e-commerce sites, our plugin provides a unique solution for downloadable products. Upload product files to Dropbox and offer them as downloadable products in WooCommerce. This ensures smooth delivery and saves precious server space.

Dynamic File Browser, Gallery, and Media Player Add Dropbox files as interactive elements, such as galleries or media players, directly into your content. This feature is ideal for course creators and content-heavy websites. Our Slider Carousel and Media Player are customizable to fit your brand’s aesthetic, offering both style and function.

Shortcode Builder and Custom Embeds With our intuitive Shortcode Builder, users can quickly generate and customize modules like media players, sliders, and file browsers. Embed files, set view-only permissions, and create download links—all with simple shortcodes. This means less reliance on heavy plugins and more control over your content display.

Saving Costs Without Sacrificing Quality

Using CodeConfig’s Dropbox Integration Plugin not only reduces hosting expenses but also delivers a faster, more reliable user experience. By offloading storage to Dropbox, your website can handle more traffic and richer content without performance dips.

Our responsive design ensures that these features look great on both desktop and mobile, providing a seamless experience across devices.

Lightning-Fast Media Management

WordPress users can now upload media directly through the familiar WordPress interface while the plugin automatically syncs it to Dropbox. No need to learn new tools or change your workflow - everything happens behind the scenes.

Enhanced Website Performance

By offloading media storage to Dropbox, your WordPress site becomes significantly lighter and faster. Your server resources focus on running core WordPress functions rather than handling heavy media requests.
