google cache still has the download cdn links like
moddb.com/downloads/start/179726
-
Lord_Nightmare
and the moddb cdn still serves the files
-
Lord_Nightmare
would it make sense to sequentially ask moddb for all files?
-

Lord_Nightmare
apparently take-two interactive/2k games is interested in shooting the gta community in the head, all modders and particularly the rp community that depends on fivem, because they're complete nincompoops
-
Lord_Nightmare
don't they realize that more than half the streaming of gta on twitch is gta5 RP? they're completely insane
-
Lord_Nightmare
... the response tweet to
twitter.com/ElFodder/status/1417171286992826368 seems to imply fivem had a credential compromise and is now back up?
-
Lord_Nightmare
but that doesn't change the fact that take2 is taking down tons of mods
-
Lord_Nightmare
this latest wave of legal notices from taketwo is very very disturbing
-
asie
take-two has a history of this kind of behaviour
-
asie
but also, tons of projects get fraudulent DMCAs
-
asie
i had to deal with a fraudulent DMCA on a minecraft modding project once; thankfully mojang had our back
-
asie
well, okay, they didn't exactly "have our back" as much as "they were impersonated in a legal document"
-
asie
but yeah

JAA
Lord_Nightmare: I'm grabbing all the
github.com/citizenfx repos now. (Just the actual repo, no issues etc.)
-
JAA
-
hexa-
rip
-
JAA
Now git is indexing the pack even though it will just get thrown into a bundle anyway. :-|
-
» Doranwen is wishing she *did* know Python now, as she's trying to figure out how to use pyautogui, lol
-
Doranwen
like, I think I understand the comands I need - with one exception - but I have no idea how to set it up *sighs at self*
-
Doranwen
really should've looked into this stuff earlier in my life
-
» JAA switches to his cliché advice voice: The best time to learn that was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.
-
JAA
:-)
-
Doranwen
lol yes
-
Frogging101
wouldn't the second best time actually have been 19.9 years ago
-
Doranwen
LOL
-
JAA
Heh
-
Doranwen
I've tried searches to figure things out but I'm getting nowhere - the learning curve is a wee bit steep, and there's only so far I can make myself go on a random course (without a proper teacher and assignments) before I have to see the direct relevance to the puzzle I'm trying to solve
-
» Doranwen is not quite desperate enough to sign up for a real course with a teacher and assignments
-
spirit
-
Doranwen
I've asked a friend on Discord who knows some Python, so we'll see what she suggests
-
spirit
it's great for self learning if you are interested
-
spirit
motivating style and projects
-
Doranwen
I'm not very good at "let's learn this thing" and just working on whatever the course says
-
Doranwen
I tend to be very much "I need to solve this problem" "let me learn about the thing I need to solve this problem"
-
Doranwen
and slowly building my picture of things from there
-
Doranwen
of course, that only works with some things, lol
-
spirit
at some point you need to realise that you will need to learn some fundamental basics
-
spirit
or you will just write shit code and waste your time on things that dont work
-
Doranwen
right, but I don't tend to remember those basics until I can tie them to something in my head
-
Doranwen
that's the problem
-
spirit
treat it like a novel
-
spirit
physical copy
-
spirit
read it when pooping
-
Doranwen
LOL
-
arkiver
Doranwen: if you have an idea for what to work on, just start working on it
-
arkiver
search around a lot
-
Doranwen
yeah, I'm in the "my searching isn't turning up anything I can understand" stage
-
arkiver
what are you searching for?
-
Doranwen
I will keep trying, but I feel like I'm missing the piece in between to make sense of it
-
Doranwen
two things, but one I don't think I can really search for - their examples all have >>> in front of them, and I'm not sure why that is
-
Doranwen
the other thing is how to set up a repeat for a specific number of times
-
arkiver
>>> is usually example code
-
Doranwen
ahhhh, ok
-
arkiver
a 'repeat' is a loop
-
arkiver
so loop for n times
-
arkiver
i'd search "python loop n times" or similar
-
arkiver
should show sometimes
-
Doranwen
I thought it was, I just wasn't understanding the results I got
-
Doranwen
ok, will give that a try, thanks
-
arkiver
in this case it is
-
arkiver
for i in range(n):
-
arkiver
do something
-
thuban
(">>>" is the prompt in the python repl)
-
thuban
-
arkiver
'python repl' maybe outside what Doranwen knows at the moment though
-
Doranwen
lol yes, it is outside that
-
Doranwen
the actual keystroke commands, the pyautogui manual was quite clear about, actually
-
Doranwen
and I'm pretty sure I've got the right sequence set up for what I need
-
arkiver
if you are just getting started with python
-
arkiver
i'd not try to use anything like pyautogui
-
Doranwen
:(
-
arkiver
just do command line, when you're really comfortable with that, you can start using that "autothis" "autothat" stuff
-
Doranwen
that's the reason I *want* to do it
-
arkiver
make sure you know the background first
-
arkiver
well in that you're not really trying to learn python, but more just how to create a GUI, and python is necessary evil for that
-
arkiver
(not only python, but yeah)
-
Doranwen
as far as I can tell pyautogui doesn't actually create a gui of any kind
-
Doranwen
it's basically setting up macros with the option to do visual stuff
-
arkiver
ah
-
Doranwen
what I need it for are only keystrokes, though
-
arkiver
yeah i was basing what i said on the name
-
Doranwen
very simple, doesn't even need to do any x or y coordinates
-
arkiver
well yeah seems to have clear examples
-
Doranwen
yeah, they were clear enough that I feel like I really do know how to set up all the commands I need, except for getting it to loop around the right number of times
-
Doranwen
which is where I'm reading a search result :)
-
thuban
('pyautogui' would have been an appropriate name for
github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey)
-
arkiver
Doranwen: good :)
-
OrIdow6
Doranwen: Are these separate from regular loops? Or you just want to know how to do loops in Python?
-
Doranwen
well, I'm reading about how to do loops?
-
Doranwen
because that'll teach me how to do this?
-
Doranwen
and I'll remember it because I have this purpose for it
-
» Doranwen is mostly understanding what she's read, but is going to look at a few more pages in hopes they'll clear up the confusing parts she doesn't understand
-
spirit
-
Doranwen
thanks
-
» Doranwen found some helpful pages and is beginning to understand and solve each puzzle she's coming across
-
HCross
Does that mean we can call you “Dora The Explorer” :P
-
» Doranwen winces
-
Doranwen
I might not have chosen my nick if I'd known that would come along
-
» Doranwen is *Doran*, not Dora, but soooooo many people have missed the N over the years
-
Doranwen
oh well, lol
-
Doranwen
nothing like a good puzzle to solve to motivate me to learn something, lol
-
Doranwen
at this point I've got it working except that the pause function doesn't work some of the time :P
-
Doranwen
and I'm not quite sure why
-
Doranwen
it doesn't like it when it's called *before* stuff, so I just added in a tiny move of the mouse and told it to take some time doing so, lol
-
Doranwen
and that fixed it
-
JAA
Wow, the git pack indexing finally finished just now.
-
JAA
1.5 hours... lol
-
JAA
And now it's running `git pack-objects` even though everything is already in a single pack... *facepalm*
-
Doranwen
lol
-
Doranwen
thank you all for your help - I have got my script working and doing what I want it to do and it is beautiful
-
» Doranwen also learned quite a few functions along the way
