@DILOPH weird, I just tested it yesterday before writing that comment:
I have 2 emails registered, one is set as the main email, the other is a secondary but the secondary is the one I use on the SP website. I changed the pic for the secondary and waited a few minutes and it did change so I really don't know what could be the problem for you, sorry :(
If you have several emails registered on gravatar, make sure that the one you are changing the pfp for is the same email that you use for SP. It also takes a few minutes for it to change
@EternalDarkness I just have more questions now lol
What does Sticky Post do? (I'm guessing that's the featured button but Im not sure)
What' does mod notes do?
What does Investigate User do? (That also brings up another question I've been thinking on for a while now: Do mods see unlisted posts?)
@EternalDarkness Now you actually got me curious about how does the website's UI look like for a moderator. Is it very different from a normal user's UI or just small stuff?
Since I installed the beta, my game almost always (around 90% of the time) crashes when I alt+tab out. The game works fine, then I alt+tab out to check something, then when I want to go back with alt+tab, the game just doesn't respond.

"Must not be starting from a spawn on Maywar*"
Did you spawn on a custom spawn location on Maywar or spawn on a custom/default spawn location at another island and then fly to Maywar?
My idea: the Tag Button
Basically, there'd be a button next to the follow button on every forum/video post, which you can press/activate. Doing so will send you a notification when that user uploads a new public build upload but only once and no more (after the user whose tag button you pressed uploads something, the tag button would go back to inactive and pressing/activating it again would restart the whole thing and again send you a notification if that user uploads again) How it would work in practice:
User 1: uploads a teaser forum post for a build
User 2: presses the tag button on this post (when visiting other posts created by User 1, User 2 would see the tag button be activated as well. It can be activated/inactivated on any of User 1's posts)
User 1: uploads another teaser (maybe a video post this time)
User 2: doesn't get a notification because it's not a public build post
User 1: uploads the teased build as unlisted
User 2: still doesn't get a notification because the post is not public
User 1: publishes the build (alternatively, if he/she uploads it as public in the first place instead of the unlisted+publish combo, User 2 would get the notification immediately)
User 2: finally gets a notification about the post. His tag buttons on User 1's posts go back to inactive
User 1: uploads another public build post
User 2: doesn't get another notification because he/she didn't reactivate the tag button on any of User 1's posts
I know it sounds kind of confusing but I hope it's understandable enough and I think it would work. Basically it's just a one time Follow button that only notifies when the next build is uploaded after it was pressed and then needs to be pressed again.
I think this could be an effective way to improve the website and to counter mass tagging.
@UWUSEMPIE Currently, the WIP Abrams uses the tracks mod but if there's a demand I might as well make a modless version (same goes for the M1074 and the Leopard 2 builds).
As for the Tiger rework, the whole point of that build will be to make custom tracks for it (while also improving some other aspects)
@MemeLordMASTERMEMES A friendly little advice: you can only tag maximum 3 people in one comment, the rest of them won't get the notification, make separate comments with 3 tags in each to properly tag everyone you want ;)
@FLOWRIDER0 I never cared about any of the dramas that go on the website, I'm just here because I enjoy building and want to share my builds.
I decided to finally buy SR2 because I've looking videos of it for a while now and it just seemed as fun as SP so why not
ZeroOnDeactivate needs an activation group:
Let's say there's rotator that can be controlled with VTOL, but ks locked by AG1. You activate AG1 amd move VTOL and the rotator will move accordingly. Now if ZeroOnDeactivate is false, then if you deactivate AG1, the rotator will stay where it was left (and moving the VTOL sloder wont affect it until AG1 is turned back on again), but if ZeroOnDeactivate is true, then when you turn off AG1, the rotator will go back to its original position.
Your problem here is that there's no activation group here, therefore ZeroOnDeactivate does nothing. It only does something when an AG is involved.
As for your problen, I'm sure there's a solution to it with funky trees but I'm not any good at that so I can't help with it, sorry
@WarshipDude okay, I'll remove your request from the list then because it's already in the works (well at least planned). You can follow progress of the build on the Updates page.
@MobilefriendlyT800 It's simply the rule. Kids under 13 can't register without their parents' consent. But if they know about it then it's fine I guess 🙂
@MobilefriendlyT800 I'll see what can I do but I'm afraid it will be around the same part count as my USS Arizona.
Also I think I have bad news for you...
The minimum age limit on the website is 13, unless you asked your parents first. Do they know you are registered here?
@MobilefriendlyT800 what I'm trying to say is that there's no need to show the original, you can just upload your edited version and the autocredit system will show the original. 😉
Also yes, I'm already building the USS Oklahoma
@FLOWRIDER0 Oh I see. Thanks for the explanation. But you see, if that glitch would happen with unlimited uploads, it would fill the site with spam and also probably kill the servers
From time to time I see new players uploading their builds 3 times within a few minutes. I'm not sure why they do that (they aren't sure if the build was really uploaded? or simply don't know how uploading works?), thankfully this limit forces them to not to upload the same thing more than 3 times. Now imagine of there wasn't a limitation and a new player would keep uploading the same thing again and again and again: it would completely spam the website, make good builds get lost in the spam, make it nightmare to report all of them as spam and also a nightmare for mods to delete all of them.
The 3 upload limit is good, there's no need for more.
@Usatiger It is built upon nagisa's frame 6 build but that is not available on the site anymore. But his suzu build is also based on it so you can use that one to make your own walker maybe. I'm not planning to release this sailor as it was only built for these videos
@FLOWRIDER0 I've a bunch of these old vehicles too, but yknow what I'm thinking? there should actually be a place (maybe a discord server, or just an accessible google document) with links to all the old deleted builds so that it's all in one place. That'd be great
I can never understand why people decide to delete their profiles. Like, ok you wanna leave this community but come on, these profiles have dozens or hundreds of awesome builds that will be lost forever (unless some other users have them all saved down but I doubt that every single build that was ever lost would be saved).
Why can't people just announce they are leaving and then just leave, never come back to the site, but dont delete their profiles. Now new players won't be able to play around with those cool builds.
It's as if a painter would decide to burn all his paintings before he dies.. all that work lost
Also RIP Bogdan, he really was a great builder. (Btw could someone tell me why did he leave?)
I think your builds are the absolute best use of funky trees, I don't even know how can you make these very complicated inputs but you are absolutely amazing in it. Don't care about haters who say your stuff is bad just because it's anime. I personally actually like the anime characters you made, not because I like anime anyways but because of how well you build them, they actually look like they just stepled out of an anime and they look great, well built. But again, those who say your builds are bad just because of the exterior design are clearly haters and you shouldn't consider them as valid criticism, because those comments come from their personal hatred against anime and not against your build. Keep up with your work, many of us love what you do and always waiting to see what you create next, so ignore the haters. You are a great builder! Don't care about what haters say, build whatever you want :D
As for your question about the word weeb: it was initially created (it came from the word "weaboo" which means the same but "weeb" is shorter) to refer to people who are obsessed with japanese culture in a really disrespectful way. Note that weeb =/= anime fan. Many people like to confuse the two and refer to anime fans as weebs but that is wrong. There's nothing bad with liking manga and anime, there's also nothing wrong with liking japanese culture. The problem is when a person is so overly obsessed with japanese culture (without having any actualy knowledge about it) that they become annoying, weird and also become disrespectful towards it because they have no real knowledge about it. By definition, a japanese person can't even be a weeb because japanese usually have a general sense about their own culture and don't became ignorant idiots like the actual weebs in other countries.
So by basic, weeb is a negative word, and there's nothing bad with that as long as it is used correctly, on the people it should be used on: people who aren't just obsessed with japanese culture but are so crazy about it that they get annoyimg and disrespectul against japanese culture.
Also your question about the meaning of anime outside of japan. Well, from what I can tell, anime for people outside of japan usually either means those specific, japanese made, unique style (big "anime eyes", big heads etc.) animated motion pictures, but it also sometimes used to refer to the style itself (say if there's a video game that also has this specific design, we call it an "anime game"). Manga is usually differentiated from anime but there are people who often call mangas as "animes" because they don't know/care it has different name.
But in general, we refer to stuff as anime that are: made in japan, has this specific drawing style/design, has those usual clichés and character types/story elements (big robots, cat girls, story takes place in Japan etc.)
@WarHawk95 yeah that's what I meant by the second recommendation: "or if you do so and win, then give the code to someone who doesn't have SR2", that someone can be a friend of course. However, the reason I think that maybe you should't enter the giveaway is that what if you give the code that friend, and he/she doesn't like it that much, they will just leave it to collect dust in their steam library, meanwhile those who entered the giveaway truly wish for the game. But that's just my opinion, you are free to enter if you want of course
