not gonna lie to you guys, the antipiracy / DRM stuff sucks. its caused way more issues than its fixed. I am removing that crap in the next update From the wise words of Gabe himself, "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem."

If you’re so concerned, it probably isn’t that hard to just go into the addon’s lua and remove any remote calls, though that could be seen as getting around the piracy measures

[@DonnaPinciot]

@@tpd1864blake That would probably just encourage them to obfuscate the code, which is just... bleh. I know they said they'd open-source it eventually, but the whole 'pay to access' could go on indefinitely, and the concept of money in modding and the incentives involved make me uncomfortable in general.

for youtube to not compress your video upload it in 1440 or 4k, even if it's 1080 originally.

yea, 1080p limited to smth like 10 mbps

upload it in *High Bitrate* 4k otherwise it wont help, also try to see if you can get YT to process the video in 1080p premium

[@crristox]

Don't fight against piracy Mee, even our lord Gaben said it: "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem." If you don't want people pirating your product you gotta provide a better service than pirates can. If not, it's a cat and mouse chase. Best regards, a fellow pirate. (jk)

[@Meetric1]

That's true, although by implementing a DRM I get some experience in managing paid software in a community. It's good to know the ups and downs of each side and the technical challenges of implementing them

[@Meetric1]

So far I'm definitely leaning toward the 'No DRM' side because there's more false-positives than I would have anticipated. It just complicates things imo

[@crristox]

@@Meetric1 Definitely, although the experience is useful you would need a dedicated team for this. It would be a monumental task for just you alone to review all flagged users. I know that it's easier said than done to provide a better service than pirates, but I think it's the right mindset.

[@Meetric1]

I actually had some help. 'Misname' wrote the backend which I used. However, I made two fatal mistakes 1. The verification and flagging was based on your IP. IPs are not at all static and a ton of people got flagged for no reason (I should have used SteamIDs) 2. Using and disclosing the existence of the anti-piracy. Duh. overall I think having anti-piracy for a WIP GMod addon is a bit much, so I've decided to completely remove it. Although in theory the system would've worked, it self destructed in practice. I probably won't consider doing anything like it again. I think the GabeN ideology is far superior to any form of DRM

[@balalaikabiker7540]

The preview fluid sim bug is probably caused by the fact that the only part of the simulation parented to the window is the emitter; the particles merely collide with the edges of the preview pane. While this does allow for a cool effect, where one can shake the window to disturb the fluid, it also means that whenever a fluid can no longer interact with colliders, e.g. when timescale is zero, it won't, causing in this case a sim frozen in place. I would thus suggest checking when timescale is zero and then parenting the whole sim to the window while that is the case.

[@Meetric1]

If I knew the reason I would've fixed it. Lol. Its such a stupid bug

@@Meetric1 oh I wasn't expecting you to actually consider it ^^"

[@cgbreeki849]

I think a good way to reduce compression is to upload a 1440p file in VP9. I don't know the resolution you play and/or record at, but if it's 1080p or lower you could render it in a 1440p window and upload that here. KZbin seems to prioritize the quality of videos that are 1440p or higher while compressing 1080p and 720p a bit too much. I think that started when KZbin made the 720p videos not be considered HD anymore back in 2020. Also holy CRAP I wasn't expecting that part where the player would get covered in fluid, that was amazing!

[@coatMVs]

yo man love the vids been following your project for a while! if your having trouble with youtube's bitrate its because they nerfed 1080p a couple years ago i'd try uploading in at least 1440 that should give you a little bit more juice!
