Guess who's back? Back again? Vazkii's back? Oh I'm late D: This video was recorded right after the other one, so I still talk over dire a bit, sorry about that! Any questions you might have, still here to answer.
+Vasco Lavos (Vazkii) Any reason that block breaking effect couldn't get around warded blocks? It looks like you could just fire at the right spot and break things around protection as it stands.
17:30 - "Did you hit a multipart, Dire?" Dire answered no, but that's not entirely true. Where he was firing there was that one chisel bit that they keep running into (and no one has removed) in the area. The spell area of effect could have easily have taken that into account.
I don't know about programming, but in physics a vector is just a line originating from a specific point with a specific facing direction and magnitude. Basically an arrow.
I was taught vectors in school, not sure what's confusing about them? They're just a direction and a magnitude which can be broken up into components of the coordinate system.
+LB Vectors are much more than just that. They can describe the position, velocity, acceleration, jerk, etc. of an object. They can be made into a force field which relates to work along a certain path. Plus they have special ways to calculate with them such as cross product and dot product. There is a reason why Calculus 3 is completely dedicated to vectors and how they work in a third dimensional graph.
Digital Blazar My point is, understanding what vectors are is an entirely different thing from understanding how to do dot products and such. I'm not actually sure which thing dire is confused about, because he just says "vectors"
+1Jamster1 The vector math stuff looks really awesome, I'm glad that Vazkii has implemented it to add a layer of complexity to this mod. With the blink spells does anyone know if you can set specific locations to teleport to? Would be pretty cool to be able to mass blink your team of friends back to base, or troll them and teleport them over lava :P
1Jamster1 weve seen him do a lot of computercraft programs though, and even one to navigate drones. he has to have some sort of knowledge about vector operations.
True, but programing and vectors are very different. I think vectors are easy to understand its the operations that can be hard to get. Especially things like projection and cross product.
PiggyGamingMC He used the japenese name though, so it would be hard to recognize if you don't know it. Crunchyroll for example doesn't use the name Vazkii said.
+Captivated Dreamer The complexity allows an insane amount of customisation, though, it's basically like ComputerCraft or PneumatiCraft's drones in a way, except under the guise of spells.
+Captivated Dreamer Ultimately it's just a form of programming inside minecraft. It's not so much needlessly complicated as it needs to be that complicated to be flexible enough to be a full programming system. Same goes with computercraft.
Psi Beta: Another Earthbound reference (the other is the chicken noise). How about a Moonside dimension that parallels the overworld but with strange textures and mobs? (Better yet, it would make a great standalone mod.)
This mod could be great to motivate kids to learn math. I would love to see this mod put into a classroom and kids have battles trying to complete math problems fast enough to get spell effects that they can use against one another. Nerd kids would always win!
+OddGMER Because a number times its inverse equals one. Also, a function times its inverse equals x. However, a function times its reciprocal equals one. Although, you generally can't multiply functions together because of the possibility of removable singularities... .
Vectors have magnitude and direction, a line can be modelled with a vector and a constant.a vector, and the characteristics of this line can be explored (this is where dot product comes in)
psicraft looks awesome, also to do creeper fills all you have to do is place block dirt 3 down 5 by 5 with player is center, this can also be used for instant bridges, various tricks i would be interested in would be: block-port: a block- entity teleport, functions: allows one to set up a function based off of a constant import, which could result in more interesting structure gen, and last but not least, block-replace- so i can turn my cobble into wood
+Daniel Scarpaci (Meserion) I don't, though it depends on how it works (Vazkii! Explain!). The mod uses a compiler for the spells, so I'd assume it's simplifying your spell down to a simple set of instructions meaning interpretation is cheaper than it would be otherwise, so there's that. And in a lot of other cases, mods already have this level of complexity, and then some, what with power networks, advanced multi-block machinery, etc.
+BlueMarble 007 This was on Vazkii's Q&A Q: Are you a boy or a girl? A: Biologically male, though I don’t consider myself an incredibly masculine person, I like to think I have some characteristics from both genders, which is cool. If you want a pronoun to use: He/Him/She/Her/They/Them. I really don’t care, honestly. If IRL, He/Him because it’s just simpler. Don’t be a jerk and attempt to correct someone who uses a different one than you do, that creates unnecessary arguing. There’s no need to be a jerk, ever.
It seems Dire had to use magic to finally make an enclosure on this server. Now all he has to do is put up a Sign that reads "Welcome to Direwolf20's Crashpad!" #forgecraft
+Theo Sandstrom It's a special forgecraft pack that is used for the development of mods. There is a version of it on the FTB launcher I believe but it probably won't have all the mods you see in Dires series.
+Theo Sandstrom Forgecraft 1, all of the mod devs associated with Forgecraft usually put the new versions of their mods on this when prepping for a new MC version (1.8 in this situation). Essentially a testing server.
+Theo Sandstrom It's a custom pack only created for Forgecraft - lots of betas and alphas of the mods not even released to the public yet. But yeah, the closest you can get is Unstable 1.8.
so, you have a gun/staff thingy that has a bullet/spell loaded in it that clears 4 blocks upwards - still you use your pickaxe to clear the cobblestone (facepalm)
I'm still waiting to see what part of this mod is 'magic'. I mean, I'm all for Sufficiently Analyzed Magic and all, but this is straight physics, rather than metaphysics. And what's with the Gun? Wands not good enough for ya? Or magic rings, or Intelligent Devices?
+Earthenfist In a nutshell, Botania is a tech mod painted the colour of magic, Psi is a magic mod painted the colour of tech. Psi basically just everything a typical magic mod would do. It just looks techy instead of magicy. That's pretty much it.
***** Fair enough. I never thought of Botania in that way, really. Might explain why I've never wanted to include it in my own Magic-heavy modded works, though..
+WildFireburns92 What would that even do? Normalize makes the magnitude 1, so abnormalize would make the magnitude not 1. So it'd have to get a value from somewhere to multiply the magnitude by. Which can just be done with vector-by-scalar multiplication.
I'm the VEEECTORRRSSS guy, graphics programming is basically all vectors, think of them as an array a numbers such as (1, 2, 3) vectors can hold an infinite amount of numbers however most spplications are limited to 4 because XYZW RGBA ect
I can't really blame him for being so confused about vectors, after all with these new kinds of mathematics in our lives it's effectively changing our mindset from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, I have a feeling that if dire was faced with a simple, flat coordinate plane he would've been fine for the most part, instead of the introduction of a three-dimensional coordinate plane
+1717brandon1717 Vazkii is genderqueer, which means she doesn't identify as a male or female. She used to be trans from male to female, hence me syaing "she", but you can use whatever pronoun you'd like.
+yovli porat I'm the one who is really confused. Why does the skin determine the gender of the player? I use a female profile picture, I like to play as female characters and have (had) a female MC skin... I'm still a man? I have a GF, straight as a ruler and have a manly voice... So am I a 'genderqueer' now just cuz' I like boobs? (Sorry Americans out there, go watch Trump if boobs are too much for you) I really dont get why this is an issue? Can somebody explain this to me?
I'm getting the feeling that this mod is an elaborate troll for Dire. I mean, as far as complexity goes I don't think Vazkii van do better. It's like "to make this spell work you need to multiply its metadata by the square root of pi, add 2.5c factorial, and then divide by 9 squared while standing on your head!". Simple, right?
I noticed Dire forgot to put in a battery. Also, someone commented, in this comment section, how to defeat the false king in demon souls. Kinda curious what's going on in their head.
Why are people still debating and talking about Vazkii's gender and all thatLike really, does it matter that much? This person makes amazing mods and is a good person, so by my books gender/gender identity doesn't matter.
Guess who's back?
Back again?
Vazkii's back?
Oh I'm late D:
This video was recorded right after the other one, so I still talk over dire a bit, sorry about that! Any questions you might have, still here to answer.
What is the most op spell?
+Vasco Lavos (Vazkii) Any reason that block breaking effect couldn't get around warded blocks? It looks like you could just fire at the right spot and break things around protection as it stands.
Do you have any future plans for the mod?
+Vasco Lavos (Vazkii) I really like the spellcrafting system!
Avi Miller Get it out for one.
I think it's AWESOME that a mod adds the magic from Irregular at Magic Highschool.
I WANT TO PLAY THIS MOD!
This eppisode in nutshell:
"Dire Clicks stuff"
"Everybody crash except dire"
"Dire: where is everybody?"
17:30 - "Did you hit a multipart, Dire?" Dire answered no, but that's not entirely true. Where he was firing there was that one chisel bit that they keep running into (and no one has removed) in the area. The spell area of effect could have easily have taken that into account.
I hope Vazkii will add quaternions to the spell system.
I don't know about programming, but in physics a vector is just a line originating from a specific point with a specific facing direction and magnitude.
Basically an arrow.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Vazkii making vectors be fun?
+yovli porat Vectors were always fun, how else are you gonna make an artillery cannon that can aim worth a damn :P
+pricemac let someone else do it
I was taught vectors in school, not sure what's confusing about them? They're just a direction and a magnitude which can be broken up into components of the coordinate system.
vectors are a huge section in mathematics, there is a lot more to them then a coordinate system and components
Luke jw93 Numbers are also a huge section in mathematics and there is a lot more to them than counting with your fingers :p
+LB Vectors are much more than just that. They can describe the position, velocity, acceleration, jerk, etc. of an object. They can be made into a force field which relates to work along a certain path. Plus they have special ways to calculate with them such as cross product and dot product. There is a reason why Calculus 3 is completely dedicated to vectors and how they work in a third dimensional graph.
LB Indeed, one might say they are fundamental to maths
Digital Blazar My point is, understanding what vectors are is an entirely different thing from understanding how to do dot products and such. I'm not actually sure which thing dire is confused about, because he just says "vectors"
We are doing vectors atm in school, so yea vectors!
Which grade are you in? Just curious.
AAQsR 12th (Germany)
+Lukas Geheim I agree vectors yay. Man I like this mod so much more just because math. I mean, vectors.
+Lukas Geheim Oh boy... Math... yay... It's confusing as hell!
I've also learned vectors in school, using them in physics. Dire should take a class and it will all make sense.
Looking forward to seeing these advanced spells been a cool mod so far!
+1Jamster1 The vector math stuff looks really awesome, I'm glad that Vazkii has implemented it to add a layer of complexity to this mod. With the blink spells does anyone know if you can set specific locations to teleport to? Would be pretty cool to be able to mass blink your team of friends back to base, or troll them and teleport them over lava :P
Dire how are vectors any hard?
+david da silva I know what vectors are but what is vector math? Pls explain, if u dont mind that is...
Cyber Dragon7 it's hard to explain on a comment what do you mean by vector math, adding vectors and so?
+david da silva over here we actualyl learn those in school -.-
+Cyber Dragon7 its basically taking the x,y,z values of a vector using basic math operations on the mand creating a new vector
+jonny h. except multiplication
So Dire admitted that you can do some crazy advanced stuff with a mod only after it got him a 9x9 xD
Dire's first house, courtesy of Vazkii
dont skip vectors! come on dire, vectors are highschool math. :D
+Stone7C1 Idk how old Dire is but its probably safe to assume its been a while since he did highschool and probably wouldn't remember it
1Jamster1 weve seen him do a lot of computercraft programs though, and even one to navigate drones. he has to have some sort of knowledge about vector operations.
True, but programing and vectors are very different. I think vectors are easy to understand its the operations that can be hard to get. Especially things like projection and cross product.
+Stone7C1 Ok, how far along are you in Calculus 3?
+Stone7C1 Must depend on the Highschool, I didn't learn vectors until college Physics.
Is the mod with loop casting based on the irregular at magic high School anime?
+sam frost Yep, hence the magic device called a CAD and looking like the main character's gun.
I just said that also and i know that bc in an anime otaku abd anime creator/artist
+sam frost
The number of sherlocks is incredible
+sam frost yes, vazkii said so last forgecraft episode
PiggyGamingMC He used the japenese name though, so it would be hard to recognize if you don't know it. Crunchyroll for example doesn't use the name Vazkii said.
This mod feels needlessly complicated. I feel myself caring less and less as this episode goes on.
+Captivated Dreamer The complexity allows an insane amount of customisation, though, it's basically like ComputerCraft or PneumatiCraft's drones in a way, except under the guise of spells.
+Captivated Dreamer it is just a"needlessly complicated" as computercraft
+tommy0con2 Yes, yes it is.
+Captivated Dreamer Ultimately it's just a form of programming inside minecraft. It's not so much needlessly complicated as it needs to be that complicated to be flexible enough to be a full programming system. Same goes with computercraft.
Im confused, I've always thought dire was an engineer or programmer, both of which should be able to understand vectors
Psi Beta: Another Earthbound reference (the other is the chicken noise). How about a Moonside dimension that parallels the overworld but with strange textures and mobs? (Better yet, it would make a great standalone mod.)
This mod could be great to motivate kids to learn math. I would love to see this mod put into a classroom and kids have battles trying to complete math problems fast enough to get spell effects that they can use against one another. Nerd kids would always win!
The most i'm exited about is the new blood magic guide, i really liked the story wayoftime told with the old one!
12:08 I can use this to just summon a hole under a mob right?
What's so hard to understand vectors? It's just a 3D arrow.
+TheCheungDan well, to be honest, it's hard to intuitively know what happens if you multiply two arrows together....
666Tomato666
For that though, it's a bit advance. But for understanding vectors vaguely, just think of it as an arrow.
TheCheungDan
but that's the part that Dire has problem understanding
This is the first time I think I've been excited for a mod. If/When it hits FTB Unstable I'll finally start 1.8.
always fun to watch dire!!
why is it called inverse when in reality it is a reciprocal
Because it is either
k
+Aidan Christensen because the inverse of a matrix exists. but reciprocal of a matrix doesn't. similar with functions that aren't polynomial
i feel like a mind was blown here
+OddGMER Because a number times its inverse equals one. Also, a function times its inverse equals x. However, a function times its reciprocal equals one. Although, you generally can't multiply functions together because of the possibility of removable singularities... .
Vectors have magnitude and direction, a line can be modelled with a vector and a constant.a vector, and the characteristics of this line can be explored (this is where dot product comes in)
hey dire, please publish the modpack soon enough
psicraft looks awesome, also to do creeper fills all you have to do is place block dirt 3 down 5 by 5 with player is center, this can also be used for instant bridges, various tricks i would be interested in would be: block-port: a block- entity teleport, functions: allows one to set up a function based off of a constant import, which could result in more interesting structure gen, and last but not least, block-replace- so i can turn my cobble into wood
+Jack Levitt side note: blockreplace would need a block vector so that if its a piston it faces the currect distance
+Jack Levitt super side note: remote casting would also be fun, like an auto-quary or auto strip mine
I wonder if you can take the math operators and get larger numbers for the effects? So instead of break 4 above, it's break 2x3 above?
We studied vectors this year at school, what a coincidence!!
you missed the percentage that is "ugh, vectors..."
WaitWaitWait. Control + Shift + Delete?
Developer Oversight Report: Most Apple Keyboards, a few generic Laptop ones as well
WHAT DOES o/ MEAN?
+Pureblackspirit Person waving.
Oh, ok thanks
Have you lived in a hole for 10 years? Do you even know what internet is?
xD
I want to learn about these vectors because I haven't yet
the Psi mod is based of an anime, the English translation is called "The irregular at magic academy"
+Richie “RedCell96” Montalvo Vazkii said that last ep
didn't see last ep, just noticed this because i recognized it by thumbnail and description
When will the mod pack be available? :)
I can see psi getting very laggy if people spam the same very complex spell.
+Daniel Scarpaci (Meserion) I don't, though it depends on how it works (Vazkii! Explain!).
The mod uses a compiler for the spells, so I'd assume it's simplifying your spell down to a simple set of instructions meaning interpretation is cheaper than it would be otherwise, so there's that. And in a lot of other cases, mods already have this level of complexity, and then some, what with power networks, advanced multi-block machinery, etc.
anyone else notice the star signs when dire brought up the spell menu for the CAD? ._.
And so the legacy of the 9x9x9 continues...
Umm... Did Dire call Vazkii "she" ? xD The skin confuzes people
Doesn't she identify as a women?
+Charlie Raven Vazkii is a man as far as I know
+BlueMarble 007
This was on Vazkii's Q&A
Q: Are you a boy or a girl?
A: Biologically male, though I don’t consider myself an incredibly masculine person, I like to think I have some characteristics from both genders, which is cool. If you want a pronoun to use: He/Him/She/Her/They/Them. I really don’t care, honestly. If IRL, He/Him because it’s just simpler. Don’t be a jerk and attempt to correct someone who uses a different one than you do, that creates unnecessary arguing. There’s no need to be a jerk, ever.
+Pokefan Phew, she's not insane! She just thinks she's a woman instead of a girly man (which have existed for centuries.)
+Pokefan I feel enlightened. thanks.
My concern with Psi is that the spells can get Overpowered.
+AAQsR OP spells need a ton of psi and bandwidth. Most OP spells can only be achieved with the creaive CAD.
+yovli porat Oh, nevermind.
+AAQsR That 9x9 wall needed creative cad at the moment. Vazkii is quite good at balancing such things.
I wonder who was fangirling more: Dire or David Hewlett...
a vector is a measurement that has both direction and magnitude (magnitude is a measurement of distance)
I am so snotty with a cold, Hopefully DireTime will make me feel better
the life
Like if you blow you're nose every time 😷
+Nahtecraft your*
Colin Richardson damn auto correct
+Nahtecraft Did you mean: Dam, automatic correlation?
Question: Does the 'gun/spell caster' work in an autonomous activator and other such autoclickers?
No AA for 1.8.9 users
+Chloe Abigail Turner "It'll probably work the first time, but since they don't tick properly they won't regenerate Psi"
Direwolf20 i was wondering if u knew when pahimar will finish equivalent exchange 3. if not that is fine and i am a huge fan keep up the good work
It seems Dire had to use magic to finally make an enclosure on this server. Now all he has to do is put up a Sign that reads "Welcome to Direwolf20's Crashpad!" #forgecraft
Vector is 3 floats in one
Float 1 - X
Float 2 - Y
Float 3 - Z
Mostly for movement and position usage
I really wanna watch The irregular at magic highschool again... this mod is so good!!!
This makes perfect sense too me... Gonna try to make kame hame ha with this... Gonna be fun to try it
Unlimited blockworks?
What modpack is this? FTB Unstable?
+Theo Sandstrom It's a special forgecraft pack that is used for the development of mods. There is a version of it on the FTB launcher I believe but it probably won't have all the mods you see in Dires series.

wonderful mod :D
Vectooooors!~ :DD
Wasn't he using the wrong bullet for that blink target spell?
so, you have a gun/staff thingy that has a bullet/spell loaded in it that clears 4 blocks upwards - still you use your pickaxe to clear the cobblestone (facepalm)

Who is RoddyRino?
btw what anime is psi based on? i am short on series atm ;)
+dabash00r Mahouka/The irregular at Magic Highschool
ty
so no ''vector abnormalize'' ? hmm vazkii ?
+WildFireburns92 What would that even do? Normalize makes the magnitude 1, so abnormalize would make the magnitude not 1. So it'd have to get a value from somewhere to multiply the magnitude by. Which can just be done with vector-by-scalar multiplication.
+endreman0 nothing but help me remind vazkii of psycho pass mister fancy math, nobody here is serious
***** So what would the trick actually do?
+endreman0 maybe just give it a random magnitude?
zoranhacker You can do that with a random number generator and a vector multiplication, so I personally don't see the purpose.
I'm the VEEECTORRRSSS guy, graphics programming is basically all vectors, think of them as an array a numbers such as (1, 2, 3) vectors can hold an infinite amount of numbers however most spplications are limited to 4 because XYZW RGBA ect

I AM THE EXPLOSION! I AM THE ONE WHO EXPLDES!
Mod List?
How many Minecraft Coders watch direwolf20?? i just want to know (please note i don't code mods yet)
As dire said, it's about 10% of his views
somehow I can see Soaryn go crazy with this..
Come on Vectors!!!
Just think of them as directions.
I can't really blame him for being so confused about vectors, after all with these new kinds of mathematics in our lives it's effectively changing our mindset from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, I have a feeling that if dire was faced with a simple, flat coordinate plane he would've been fine for the most part, instead of the introduction of a three-dimensional coordinate plane
I'm an unspoken part of the 10% who knows how to work vectors, but hates them with a vengeance.
Okay, now im really confused. What is Vazkii? Skin = Female, Voice = Male?
+1717brandon1717 Vazkii is genderqueer, which means she doesn't identify as a male or female. She used to be trans from male to female, hence me syaing "she", but you can use whatever pronoun you'd like.

+MagicLegend well the skin was female, but any time i heard someone talk about vazkii they refer to a female. i just didnt know.
MagicLegend thats not what I meant. I didn't say she was genderqueer because of her skin. Also, I got the term wrong- genderfluid, not genderqueer.
I'm getting the feeling that this mod is an elaborate troll for Dire. I mean, as far as complexity goes I don't think Vazkii van do better. It's like "to make this spell work you need to multiply its metadata by the square root of pi, add 2.5c factorial, and then divide by 9 squared while standing on your head!". Simple, right?
Don't forget dividing by zero!

Where's Soaryn? :(
+Augusto Prulhiere I was wondering that as well...
All Hail The Mighty Gold Puking Man
This mod is so cool but why vectors!!!
I noticed Dire forgot to put in a battery. Also, someone commented, in this comment section, how to defeat the false king in demon souls.
Kinda curious what's going on in their head.
IM ALREADY CONFUSED HOW DO I EVEN PSI :(

dire finally has a house

You should play portal Knights
Why are people still debating and talking about Vazkii's gender and all thatLike really, does it matter that much? This person makes amazing mods and is a good person, so by my books gender/gender identity doesn't matter.

it is still around in a few years

+linusthegamer Vazkii's genderfluid, she doesn't care if you call her he or she as both are technically correct in her books.
oh ok

play infinity evolved
I think the pun Vazkii was looking for was "Are you ex-PSI-ted about the mod?"
Dire needs to make a Place 9x9 spell. This may require vectors so he might want to ask Vazkii for help.
+Ent229 edit: I should have finished watching first.
I still don't know if Vaskii is female or male...
He are gender fluid so both but he was Born a man
