Ships of Harkinian

Seems you can only modify window positions with the menu open in this one, and the key changed from f1 to esc. Have to open the menu then you can change window focus like before.

not necessarily a bad thing, as holding X in game no longer controls the ui, just a change from the previous behavior

[limpid depot]

I’m on vacation till next week, if you’d like to update the port please feel free to do so. The menu controls and popping up at the start may be due to the json. Would compare it to soh2 which also uses the new menu.

Otrgen was taken from a source file in upstream shipwright. If they still use zapd it’ll be valid, but if they moved to torch it’ll be a new system.

[meager swallow]

no, i'll definitely wait -- need your experience. i'll polish it up in the meantime

[meager swallow]

New version which supports many more original roms, and fixes the menu problem (although the menu still pops up occasionally when I am not expecting it, perhaps there is something still not quite right?)

[fallow lava]

Hmm....

When I tried it, the menu wasn't open on startup

Let me try this one now

Oh also, it didn't delete the roms after patching for some reason, not sure why exactly

on the previous one that is

patching on this one now

[meager swallow]

Oh yes.my bad. Fixed in this one

[fallow lava]

No menu on startup for me on this one either

[fallow lava]

Yup I can confirm, they are deleted 😄

#935186300032667658 message

[meager swallow]

I kind of half assed this — see src/

Ideally we’d use their code to make a cli tool but too much work so I just took the mappings from their code to generate a new otrgen

Oddly one hash from the old otrgen is not present in the current upstream supported hashes file

[limpid depot]

Oh? Which?

[meager swallow]

517bd9714c73cb96c21e7c2ef640d7b55186102f

[limpid depot]

Hm a variant of GC_MQ_D

[sinful talon]

It it slowed down like a compatibility mode, or is it full speed ?

[meager swallow]

Full speed

[meager swallow]

Another update -- assets files are zipped (there are >7000 of them) and otrgen handles rom files with spaces. Also original roms are only deleted if extraction is successful.

[limpid depot]

So uh...what exactly do you need me for again? I'm home now.

[meager swallow]

hope you had a good holiday!

as far as i know it's done, but (a) it's a bit weird about the missing sha1, (b) the controls have changed, especially re menu, and I'm not familiar enough with the the previous version to know if anything has broken. you now activate the menu with select. after that, the menu navigation is a bit counterintuitive but i think that is upstream's issue not ours

[limpid depot]

Alright, I'll give your above zip a test and edit the readme/controls as needed.

Thanks for building it!

Duplicate libs?

These aren't symlinks.

Also where did you find their supported hashes file?

[meager swallow]

good point, will fix

[limpid depot]

Oh, otrgen is based on https://github.com/HarbourMasters/Shipwright/blob/develop/scripts/linux/appimage/soh.sh.in

[meager swallow]

ok, i'll put 517bd.. back in

#1019824570938699798 message Seems even they aren't sure how it all works now.

[meager swallow]

yup

otoh it seems a lot better than it was.. many more roms supported, many fewer extraction errors

[limpid depot]

Did we update 2ship as well to run on arkos etc? I don't remember.

[meager swallow]

yep

[limpid depot]

Ok, pr sent in for both. Seems like it works well.

[limpid depot]

I need to get your MV-New fork's workflows onto my own repo heh. I was trying to build 9.0.2 manually but I run into some issue @meager swallow maybe your action will fare better

CMake Error:
  Running

   '/usr/bin/ninja' '-C' '/Shipwright' '-t' 'recompact'

  failed with:

   ninja: error: build.ninja:159: multiple rules generate oot.otr [-w dupbuild=err]

[meager swallow]

it built fine from bleeding edge last night (ignore all the 3 weeks ago nonsense) -- https://github.com/ben-willmore/PortMaster-MV-New/releases/tag/SoH-nightly-latest .. i can't check that it actually works RN without getting the sack 😃

[limpid depot]

Neat! I'll have to explore how to add it to https://github.com/JeodC/PortMaster-ShipOfHarkinian so it can be built without needing the MV repo...I think the crew decided against including autobuild in upstream, could be wrong though.

[meager swallow]

i can fork your repo and add the action to the fork. if i put a commit id in a text file somewhere, the action could read that so it knows what commit to build. that should be fairly seamless to update. (i didn't realise they'd already done 2 updates since our last one, it's a lot to keep up with)

[limpid depot]

If you get to it before I do lol, sure. I think I'm going to find some way to do scheduled checks for their release tags and compare so it will catch new releases and build them.

Heck maybe it would be easier to add a .factory folder to MV-New fork and house all build stuff there, and somehow gitignore it for pull requests to upstream.

[meager swallow]

yeah, i like this approach actually. Need to think about the details

[limpid depot]

Oh Cebion did like the idea, we just didn't get around to the finer details in adding it to upstream.

[meager swallow]

https://github.com/ben-willmore/PortMaster-MV-New/releases/tag/SoH-release-latest

[limpid depot]

Lol https://github.com/JeodC/hm64-builder/actions/runs/14713324784

We'll see how well it works

[meager swallow]

i updated to 9.0.2, by modifying the git tag in build.txt and re-running the action. obstacles to total automation: it looks hard to reliably pick up tags from the shipwrights repo without also getting their xmas releases. also these larger github actions sometimes fail for no apparent reason (presumably taking up too much resources). other than those, it would be possible to commit the resulting files and auto-submit a PR

[limpid depot]

Yeah just had that with starship

Their holiday tags also don't follow the #.#.# that the yaml expects when doing comparisons.

SoH worked

Re-running for the others

[meager swallow]

I got the impression that the latest starship nightlies are a lot faster than the 1.0.0 release --- time to release a port?

[limpid depot]

I'd still like to wait for their new release, which may be in the comming week for all we know. Never hurts to ask though.

Hah, looks like it works

It exits early if tags match

I took out the nightlies though, I guess I could add them back.

[meager swallow]

not sure how useful they are now that both SoHs have had a fairly recent release which works for us

it's mildly handy to keep track of whether things are still building and whether they've made any breaking changes

[limpid depot]

I'll edit the structure eventually as well, the factory repo doesn't need to have the entire port in the releases. Only the stuff relevant to update.

[tall birch]

Hey, I was playing through SoH on a RG CubeXX, and I encountered an issue where this block on the lowest level of the Water Temple when pushed down does not trigger the "you did a thing" jingle and then resets it's position when the room is reloaded, making it so you get stuck behind it and I think it also makes another chest inaccessible.

I can't seem to find where the version number in the app but soh.md says:

Information

Ship of Harkinian 8.0.6 was built ... on 03/12/2025.

Loading up the save file on the PC version of SoH using the same rom, this block does not have this problem. I got past it by pushing it there, saving, and then copying it back to the handheld.

Here is a save file with the block pre-pushed and the water lowered to that level.

Only mods on is the 3DS link one, some quality of life toggles are on tho if any of them may impact it.

I believe this is the settings file if that helps, for all of the QoL things I have on.

[meager swallow]

we are on 9.0.0 now (with 9.0.2 about to be merged), so upgrading the port may fix it. you'll need to regenerate the otr file. i think the save files are compatible, but back everything up first

what version are you using on PC?

[tall birch]

I will see if that helps a bit later (it is 4:30am lol), I did get past it using the PC port.
My save is there to test to see if it still is a problem in the new update.

Thanks.
and let me check

[meager swallow]

if that's a screenshot from PC, and you are still using 8.0.6 on the handheld, then the problem will most likely be fixed by using 9.0.2 on handheld

[tall birch]

Yeah, I don't see it specifically mentioned as a thing fixed in the change log, but maybe it was unnoticed or was just not mentioned.

[meager swallow]

"numerous logic fixes" would cover it

you can get the changed files for 9.0.2 here -- https://github.com/PortsMaster-MV/PortMaster-MV-New/pull/105 -- or wait a couple of days for a new PM release

[tall birch]

Thanks

[meager swallow]

(oh -- i should have said, if you want to upgrade to 9.0.2, you need to update to 9.0.0 through the PM app first, then get the two changed files to go to 9.0.2.)
