very cool

That perk one is sick!!

[solid pivot]

It was actually the first thing I did but then realized that simply having perks didnt feel like a lot. Already played a lot with the perk system with friends to finetune it. :D

In the long run I really want to make a Ship Tier Perk which actually changes the ships design to make more space for all the awesome stuff you can buy in the store. I mean, if you go for max quota you'll have a lot of spare credits.

[WIP] Lethal Company+

changed your post title cuz some people can't read tags, this will help with "where mod" posts

[solid pivot]

OK :)

[solid pivot]

I just feel a bit anxious about releasing it. I mean, basically I could release it right now with whats there but well. I want it to feel complete. So better cook the mod a bit more and actually add body armor so the Body Clothing slot can be filled. I probably will only add a bullet proof vest to protect you from 2-3 shotgun rounds or something for the beginning.

And one thing which was really painful was to rip the player model and make it actually editable and still being able to apply the SkinnedMeshRenderer to the new mesh. And to add new meshes like the flippers or rocket boots to the same rig and having it work correctly and animate.

[inner ore]

Happy you managed to deal with perks and skills in the terminal

That's a pain in the ass I assume

[solid pivot]

Its basically a cursor menu where you can navigate with W/S or Arrow Up and Down and Select stuff with Return.

I wanted to replace the store too but figured it would probably make the mod incompatible with even more mods :D

[inner ore]

The bigger your mod gets, the harder it is to be compatible

[solid pivot]

Yea

[inner ore]

Your sprint speed is using transpilers, correct?

[solid pivot]

Yes

[inner ore]

Any compatibility on mike's?

[solid pivot]

I actually use quite some transpilers. Trying to reduce it wherever I can.

[inner ore]

Mike's Tweaks players are going to cry

[solid pivot]

Would have to try. Weight stuff should work but slots wont

Slots are managed by the perks. "Carry bags" are inventory slots

You start with 3 and enough XP to buy the fourth

[inner ore]

They also do not work with reserved slots

Give up on reserved slots compatibility, it simply isn't possible

[solid pivot]

Oh, yea. Flashlight with F is already included in my mod (as I will also need it for equipabble flashlights)

[inner ore]

The way they coded it, not at all compatible with any mod whatsoever

[solid pivot]

Hotbar 1-9 is also integrated in my mod :D

[inner ore]

damn hardcoding slot numbers..

[solid pivot]

I will have to see what I can do. Sprint speed shouldnt be too bad work with I think. I dunno about how I would go about detecting other mods and going into a kind of compability mode.

[inner ore]

It is hell, really

[solid pivot]

Is there any callback after all plugins are loaded? Looking at all loaded assemblies isnt guaranteed to work because of load order.

[inner ore]

            {
                var instruction = instructions[i];
                if (instruction.opcode != OpCodes.Ldc_R4)
                    continue;

                if (Math.Abs((float)instruction.operand - MaxSprintValue) > 0.1)
                    continue;

                indexOfMaxSprintMultiplier = i;
                instructions[i] = CodeInstruction.Call(typeof(ConfigEntrySettings<float>), nameof(ConfigEntrySettings<float>.Value));
                instructions.Insert(i, CodeInstruction.Call(typeof(ConfigEntrySettings<bool>), nameof(ConfigEntrySettings<bool>.Value)));
                instructions.Insert(i, new CodeInstruction(OpCodes.Ldc_I4_0));
                instructions.Insert(i, CodeInstruction.LoadField(typeof(WorldTweaks.Configs), nameof(WorldTweaks.Configs.UseVanillaSprintSpeedValues)));
                instructions.Insert(i, CodeInstruction.LoadField(typeof(PlayerTweaks.Configs), nameof(PlayerTweaks.Configs.MaxSprintSpeed)));
                break;
            }```

Here's what I do:

            foreach (var plugin in Chainloader.PluginInfos)
            {
                if (plugin.Value.Metadata.GUID.IndexOf("ReservedItem") >= 0)
                {
                    ReservedSlots = true;
                }

                if (plugin.Value.Metadata.GUID.IndexOf("mikestweaks") >= 0)
                {
                    // Get "ExtraItemSlots" config entry from Mike's Tweaks
                    ConfigEntryBase[] mikesEntries = plugin.Value.Instance.Config.GetConfigEntries();

                    foreach (var entry in mikesEntries)
                    {
                        if (entry.Definition.Key == "ExtraItemSlots")
                        {
                            if (int.Parse(entry.GetSerializedValue()) > 0)
                            {
                                ReservedSlots = true;
                            }
                        }

                        if (entry.Definition.Key == "UseVanillaSprintSpeedValues")
                        {
                            if (bool.Parse(entry.GetSerializedValue()))
                            {
                                MikesSprint = true;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }```

[solid pivot]

Ah, nice. So I can read what the players have set in the other config and adapt to that. Reducing the max buyable inventory slots etc. For now I hardcoded the inventory to be max 10 as I cant fit any more slots on the screen :D

[inner ore]

I've actually did code to center them

[solid pivot]

Yea, I have that too but after 10 its overlapping chat etc.

[inner ore]

No way you can fit more than ten

Maybe two rows

[solid pivot]

Probably or move the equipment slots somewhere else on the screen

[inner ore]

Ten is more than enough

[solid pivot]

These are basically "ReservedSlots"

For clothing :D

[inner ore]

This is sick

Excited for this

[solid pivot]

Yea, it changes the game quite a lot.

Rocket boots are awesome and fun

[inner ore]

As a man of skills myself, having made #1179381385069330513, wouldn't mind even helping you out sometimes

Double jump is cool af

[solid pivot]

Jumping around with your friends is cool :3

So current roadmap is probably:

• Add Headset
• Add Helmet Lamp
• Add Body Armor
• Balancing
• Fix bugs
• Check compability and what I can do to maximize it.

[inner ore]

Compatibility is always my downfall

[solid pivot]

My friends are mocking me tho that I invest so much time in making the 3d models look great only for the game to butcher them :D

[inner ore]

Don't put too much detail in the textures

HDRP and the filters do your job for you

[solid pivot]

I mean this is the night vision in Blender

[inner ore]

Had to model teeth

[solid pivot]

The flippers :D

[inner ore]

hot

[solid pivot]

I only use diffuse and matmap with smoothness and metallic channel. No AO channel as it wouldnt be seen in the game anyway

[inner ore]

We even do much AO in this game at all?

I don't think we do

[solid pivot]

These are all the models in unity :D

[inner ore]

Super cool!

[solid pivot]

My test dummy

Its a lot more than just sprint speed :)

[inner ore]

That's hot

[indigo moon]

LethalUtilities doesn't use the transpiler for custom sprint speed multipliers.

[solid pivot]

I am skipping the movement code for the flippers to override the movement

So items can override the movement basically

[indigo moon]

It uses METH- I mean Math, whoops.

[solid pivot]

I could also open up my mod for others to work with it too

[inner ore]

Not talking about Lethal Utilities

[small glade]

guess they'll have to use my mod instead

[indigo moon]

Ik ik, I'm just saying it doesn't use a transpiler since you've shown one with a transpiler.

[solid pivot]

This for example are the RocketBoots:

namespace UpgradeCompany.Objects
{
    [LoadAssets]
    public class RocketBoots : Boots, IPerformJump, IOnUpdate
    {
        private static FieldInfo isJumping = AccessTools.Field(typeof(PlayerControllerB), "isJumping");
        private static FieldInfo isFallingFromJump = AccessTools.Field(typeof(PlayerControllerB), "isFallingFromJump");
        private static GameObject LeftRocketBoot;
        private static GameObject RightRocketBoot;

        public override Player.BodyLayers GetLayers()
        {
            return Player.BodyLayers.HIDE_FEET;
        }

        public override GameObject[] CreateWearable(Player player)

                    player.GetBone(Player.Bone.R_HEEL),
                    player.GetBone(Player.Bone.R_FOOT),
                    player.GetBone(Player.Bone.R_SHIN),
                    player.GetBone(Player.Bone.R_THIGH),
                };

                var metarig = player.GetBone(Player.Bone.METARIG);
                var left = GameObject.Instantiate(LeftRocketBoot, metarig);
                left.GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>().rootBone = player.GetBone(Player.Bone.L_THIGH);
                left.GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>().bones = leftBones;

                var right = GameObject.Instantiate(RightRocketBoot, metarig);
                right.GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>().rootBone = player.GetBone(Player.Bone.R_THIGH);
                right.GetComponent<SkinnedMeshRenderer>().bones = rightBones;
                return new GameObject[] { left, right };
            }
            else return new GameObject[] { };
        }

        public static void LoadAssets(AssetBundle assets)

            LeftRocketBoot = assets.LoadAsset<GameObject>("Assets/Skins/LeftRocketBoot.prefab");
            RightRocketBoot = assets.LoadAsset<GameObject>("Assets/Skins/RightRocketBoot.prefab");
        }

        static RocketBoots()
        {
            Network.Manager.AddListener<RocketJump>((msg) =>
            {
                for (var i = 0; i < StartOfRound.Instance.allPlayerScripts.Length; i++)
                {
                    var player = StartOfRound.Instance.allPlayerScripts[i];
                    if (player.actualClientId == msg.ClientID)
                    {
                        if (msg.ClientID != GameNetworkManager.Instance.localPlayerController.actualClientId)
                            player.GetComponent<PlayerRocketBoots>().PlayParticles();
                        player.movementAudio.PlayOneShot(Plugin.RocketBootsAudio);
                    }
                }
            });
        }
...

[indigo moon]

(all modders proceed to shamelessly plug in this one channel)

[solid pivot]

And the interfaces have methods to run the corresponding stuff like this:

        public bool DoubleJumpAvailable = false;
        public void OnUpdate(Player player)
        {
            if (player.IsOwner)
            {
                if (!player.IsGrounded && !player.IsFallingNoJump && !player.IsFallingFromJump && !player.IsJumping)
                    DoubleJumpAvailable = true;
                else if (player.IsGrounded && !player.IsJumping && !player.IsFallingFromJump)
                    DoubleJumpAvailable = false;
            }
        }

        public bool PerformJump(Player player)
        {
            bool jumping = player.IsJumping || player.IsFallingFromJump;
            if (!player.QuickMenuManager.isMenuOpen && (player.IsOwner && player.IsPlayerControlled && (!player.IsServer || player.IsHostPlayerObject) || player.IsTestingPlayer))
            {
                if (!DoubleJumpAvailable && !jumping)
                    DoubleJumpAvailable = true;
                else if (!player.InSpecialInteractAnimation && !player.IsTypingChat &&
                (
                 player.IsMovementHindered <= 0 || player.IsUnderwater
                ) &&
                !player.IsCrouching && DoubleJumpAvailable && player.FallValue < 6f)
                {
                    player.FallValue = Mathf.Max(player.FallValue, 0f) + player.JumpForce * 2f;
                    player.FallValueUncapped = player.FallValue;
                    player.IsJumping = false;
                    player.IsFallingFromJump = true;
                    player.IsFallingNoJump = false;
                    DoubleJumpAvailable = false;

                    Network.Manager.Send(new RocketJump() { ClientID = player.ClientID });
                }
            }
            return true;
        }

I basically made a very rough library to work with networking etc.

Oh, mods which are 100% incompatible are all mods which override the Animator

Thanks to how unity works with animators at runtime you cant simply merge two animators at all.

And yea, the mod previously was called UpgradeCompany when I created the project. Should rename the Namespace to LethalCompanyPlus soon

Its not just upgrading anymore

[indigo moon]

UpgradeCompany -> Corporation

[solid pivot]

:p

[inner ore]

Lethal Company plus...

that's a weird name

Not that creative I think

[indigo moon]

...

[solid pivot]

Yea, but well :D

[indigo moon]

proceeds to ignore username

[inner ore]

Something a bit more

You think there's possibly another idea for the mod name

[solid pivot]

DeadlyCorporation

[indigo moon]

I'm good with names, I can probably help think of somethng.

[neon charm]

lethal company+ is fine. perfect, even
it's easy to remember and it perfectly describes what the mod is (just more lethal company)

[indigo moon]

Just More Lethal Company

That would be a funny one.

[neon charm]

more company already exists lol

[indigo moon]

Not the same though.

[neon charm]

true

[vital wolf]

this looks sick, would be cool if you made the clothing slots a sperate api mod other people could use to add there own items tho, otherwise very nice

[solid pivot]

Modularizing everything would take some time. I am thinking about extracting all the networking and player stuff into a library.

This mod consists of a lot of code files already. So splitting it would be pretty nice.

[indigo moon]

Okay, actually a little tricky given the erratic coverage that this mod has.

Following the LC name:
Lethal Corporation (because funny)
Fatal Company
Balanced Company
Chaotic Company
Custom Company
Lethal Company+ (or Plus)
Swaggy Company (also funny, but you've got the swagggg )

Not following the LC name (as much):
LC Perks
Idk much for this

My recommendation would be to split up some parts of the mod because this seems a bit more like a modpack than an actual mod. (If you split it, have the similar stuff like all the items as one mod with settings to enable/disable, and like the clothing/accessories as one as well.)

[vital wolf]

yeah it seems like it adds a lot of seperate cool stuff but dosent have 1 cohesive theme, you could split all the items and clothing items and stuff into one mod, then all the perks and ship perks and stuff into another

[indigo moon]

I'm better with naming more narrow stuff. Lol

[solid pivot]

Yea, some items are meant to be locked behind a perk tho. You can invest a lot of XP to upgrade your Ship Tier basically :)

[indigo moon]

Then keep that together.

[analog radish]

Looks great!

[vital wolf]

ooooh neat, i like that progression system a lot

[indigo moon]

... or use it together but as separate mods that compliment each other.

... and people could add their own with it.

[solid pivot]

Or I add compability stuff for the progression stuff and make a items mod use it when both are installed :P

[indigo moon]

Yep!

[solid pivot]

But for the first release I probably go with all the stuff and split it later :D

[analog radish]

Good luck with your development!

[solid pivot]

I can still split it anytime

[indigo moon]

Yeah, but make sure you have configs properly handled in that case.

[solid pivot]

No configs yet. I will add that later :D

Before I release

[indigo moon]

Ah, okay, then yeah.

[naive talon]

so in your case the progression is after a mission and is from playing the video game and failing?

[solid pivot]

I am still figuring out the balancing. Its quite hard to balance so many perks etc. to still make the game entertaining AND to give you the feeling of actually progressing.

But making as much quota as possible before failing. Yea :D

All quotas you have fulfilled will be added up and thats your score for the round.

So if you fulfilled 200, 300, 500, 800 and fail at 1200 its 200+300+500+800=1800XP for all players and the ship

[naive talon]

"quotas" so the number of times you did quota = xp gained?

or like, in money amounts?

[solid pivot]

Amounts added together

[naive talon]

ah. in monetary amounts?

so finishing a 1k quota but failing the next is like 1k xp (not including the cheaper quotas below it)?

[solid pivot]

Including the lower ones as well

Else it would be better to only fulfill the first quota and instantly fail to farm XP :D

[naive talon]

lol. aye. yeah, I did say not including. I'm just trying to get a gauge for the point gain equivalency

[solid pivot]

I want a better XP system in the long run tho. Because some rounds tend to be so long that not everyone is in the lobby when it ends.

Or you take a break etc.

[naive talon]

oh oof.

so they miss the xp. D:

[analog radish]

Are you going to add information to each purchasable perk?

[solid pivot]

A round to 2500 Quota can easily take 3-4 hours

There is already

Wait

I also forgot a feature I already have, haha

[naive talon]

checks back at what the options are ... Climbing speed? ladder you mean? or are you cooking climbing mechanics?

[analog radish]

lel, dw

[sterile heron]

Awesome

[solid pivot]

When you select a perk you can see what it does

[naive talon]

ah. when you select it, you can confirm you want to buy it? right?

and while confirming it tells you what do

[analog radish]

Neat!

[solid pivot]

And once per quota you can actually extend the deadline

You can lower the price. The base price is the current quota.

[inner ore]

so fuckin cool

[solid pivot]

I think its a ship perk

[inner ore]

honestly making me kind of lose hope making any of my own stuff haha

mod to end all mods

[solid pivot]

Should be 10%

This is also very powerful tbh

[naive talon]

if you can't beat em join em? lethal company + progression ultra?

[solid pivot]

Thats what I mean with Balancing. Having a lot of perks also means that some might be too easy to obtain and game breaking

[inner ore]

Think of the player count as well

What are you balancing it at

There's no way you can balance at 10 people, it's too painful

[naive talon]

don't think anyone balances at 10 people

[solid pivot]

Nah, wont do that anyway. Its balanced to be rewarding as solo and up to 4 players.

[inner ore]

Exactly, balance up to 4

[naive talon]

👌

[inner ore]

Someone was screaming at me that the balancing is borked

[solid pivot]

This mod actually makes solo play so much more fun tbh

And you get a tool for every weather condition

[inner ore]

and they suddenly say they play with 12 players

and huh??

[naive talon]

cause you fail more and get your points quicker?

[solid pivot]

Thats my plan. But all tools will have a downside too :P

[inner ore]

Tools in this game are meant to be very powerful

However, they have their limitations

[solid pivot]

The lightning rod is pretty heavy and you cant really see much while holding it

[inner ore]

Don't make downsides, make limitations

[naive talon]

lightning rod actually stores lightning, can be used as portable charger? 😄

[solid pivot]

Cant see much :D

[inner ore]

If you're holding it and a lightning strikes you

Do you die

[solid pivot]

Its also a custom holding animation btw

Yes, youll die :D

[inner ore]

Means you shouldn't touch it much, the limitation is the danger

[solid pivot]

This is the range

[inner ore]

Haha holy crap

[naive talon]

OWO

[solid pivot]

It basically attracts ALL lightning which would hit underneath the head

[inner ore]

Huge mod man

[solid pivot]

[naive talon]

stonks

[inner ore]

If you can't beat em', join em'

[naive talon]

coulda used that a minute ago on this daily moon. >_>'

[inner ore]

Would love to use this when you release it

[solid pivot]

The Missile Launcher also only hold 3 missiles

But its beautiful :D

[inner ore]

Holy crap fireworks

[analog radish]

Wow!

[inner ore]

kind of outdoes everything on the entire modding scene right now

I am feeling embarassed

[solid pivot]

And you can even create a light show in your ship

And soon youll be able to kill your friends too

Or at least hurt them :3

[solid pivot]

Thx for the compliment

[naive talon]

please tell me a firecracker like that to the face can blind a giant and free a friend potentially.

[solid pivot]

I worked in game dev professionally for 7 years in the past. So I have quite some training, especially working with Unity.

Yes it can

@naive talon

[naive talon]

😄

[solid pivot]

Havent tested if it works

But its intended to do so

[inner ore]

We're all just amateurs

Gotta look at this for inspirations

[solid pivot]

I basically look for all giants specifically to make them drop the player they have in hand too

They get totally distracted

[inner ore]

They look at the pretty fireworks

[solid pivot]

Yea :D

[inner ore]

Oooooh... aaaah... ooooooh.. pretty lights

[solid pivot]

Getting inside on eclipsed isnt hard with fireworks

Thats the reason I added it

to combat eclipsed planets

At a price of course and you cant 100% predict the flight curve of the rocket :P

If you try to shoot out of the ship it might hit the ceiling of the ship and all dogs come at you

[inner ore]

super strong

[solid pivot]

This is also a custom animation :D

I worked on the mod when there wasnt a shotgun :<

Or else I would have used the holding animation of it

Night vision currently isnt functional tho. But thats something I am working on at the moment.

You can equip it, buy it etc. but it has no visual effect yet when used

[inner ore]

So many layers

Good luck on this

[solid pivot]

The rockets also have lag compensation :3

So they pretty much exactly explode at the same time for everyone.

Nothing is better than synchronized fireworks

[naive talon]

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-anime-jojos-bizarre-adventure-kars-universe-gif-16862992

[solid pivot]

And I do like the fact that the item is called "Missile Launcher" and I hope people buy it, expecting an actual missile launcher to kill stuff

And getting surprised by fireworks :'D

[analog radish]

it's actually a "missile" launcher

but not the missile that you expect

[solid pivot]

One thing I am really looking forward to is to see people playing with the mod :D

I had so much fun with friends already

Sharing that fun experience with others is the reason I am doing this anyway

[inner ore]

That's the fun

[naive talon]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-shia-la-beouf-flame-gif-4445204

[solid pivot]

Laughing my ass off the first time somebody uses the lightning rod and is getting struck by lightning while carrying it

Carrying a huge metal object around in a storm is... risky

[naive talon]

I guess it retracts when you pick it up?

[solid pivot]

Oh, its one time use. I do have an animation for retracting but decided against it so its not overpowered

Tier 3 Lightning Rod perhabs

I want to add Tier 1, 2 and 3. The one I have right now is probably Tier 2

Tier 1 will only do an actual sphere radius, Tier 3 will be retractable (and the idea with charging it up to charge up items was a neat idea the Tier 3 Lightning Rod probably will have)

[analog radish]

Make sure you see it, it is already reserved for my modpack (modifying it according to the things you have done in it)

[solid pivot]

:D

[inner ore]

I'd love to play this with my friends

stop.. stop showing off!! I'm losing all hope... this is too good

[analog radish]

I hope to be able to see it soon, I don't know how much percentage you would say you are advanced and/or when you could have it ready

But no pressure, work and do what you have to do in your own time

[naive talon]

then they're all trash in my book. until it's reuseable. unless they're "relatively" cheap. and I'll just keep leaving keys out on the ground or something.

not a fan of expensive consumeables. :V I nerf their costs considerably more often than not.

[solid pivot]

I mean, when I add a config you will be able to adjust the prices

[naive talon]

I have a bad habit in games of not consuming consumeables or "limited" things which aren't just on a timer cause my use case assessments on whether it's worth it or not are usually pretty steep. :V

[solid pivot]

The boots were broken btw :< Rebinding the skin

Finally working again

[analog radish]

Looks cool!

[grim drift]

This is a really cool mod concept. Any plans to make it modular so we can enable/disable certain features in the config?

[naive talon]

wait. if you get quota discount, won't it lessen the quota and make you get less xp? :V

or does it remember/keep what it originally was and only discount the current quota?

[plush fern]

Some of the ideas remind me of Lategame upgrades, I'm not holding out hope this will be compatible with that mod. Still this looks interesting.

[solid pivot]

The discount is for extending the deadline :D

Per quota you can extend the deadline once for credits

[naive talon]

Hm. theres a mod that does basically like a suggestion I had made prior. which makes only the amount from the quota get deducted from earnings each time. and the deadline for said quota only expires once the days hits zero.

I kinda like being able to get ahead of the quota rotations and not be incentivized to keep stuff for too long. (by virtue of another mod that randomizes the sell value each day so you can get decent sell days early.)

[solid pivot]

One thing I really want to solve in the future when I split my library from the mod:
Multiple mods being able to add animations
Maybe there is a way to quick swap multiple Animators when needed?

Mods would need to use my library then tho sadly.

[solid pivot]

Most likely wont be compatible. At least not from the get go.

I am open to suggestions tho. I am willing to make this basically a "half conversion" mod. Including my own versions of stuff you can find in other mods if they fit the whole package.

Or at least trying to make it compatible

[inner ore]

Hey, potatoe

How did you solve the live handslots update situation

[solid pivot]

Custom Networking

[inner ore]

the syncing is understandable, yeah, but if there are already stuff in your hands, do you drop everything

[solid pivot]

I prefix FirstEmptyItemSlot and dont call any other methods by returning false. Same thing with ScrollMouse_performed.

I am not touching SwitchToItemSlot. I only call it by reflection.

[inner ore]

Bugs a lot, that one

Handslots are confusing

[solid pivot]

I didnt have any bugs yet. But I havent played for 2 weeks now

[inner ore]

Too much working, less playing the game

[solid pivot]

Friends dont have the time to test :D

[analog radish]

I have a question regarding this.
By increasing the deadline, will this increase be permanent or will it only be for the current quota?

[solid pivot]

Current Quota

[analog radish]

I see, thx!

I'm looking at each of the things this has, because it will allow me to reduce a good amount of mods that do what all this does.

[solid pivot]

As I was asked by a streamer if they can test the mod too:
I am myself a german content creator and currently test the mod primarily with other german streamers. Before release I dont feel comfortable to give out the mod (also due to ruining first impressions internationally before the mod even releases to the public)

But after I published the initial version I am open to open a beta branch for people who want to test new features early. Beta branch would log a lot more information and I would love to get as much error reports as possible with full logs attached then. I dont plan to frequently update the mainline of the mod. I want every update to be substantial.

I mean: A real update to the mod like going from 1.0 to 1.1 should feel substantial. Of course I will try to push out as many bugfixes as possible :)

So adding at least 2-3 new items or some new game mechanics per update should be a given. Or even having the upgradable ship I planned in one update.

(Upgradeable ship as in: Other layouts to have more space in the ship. I dont even know if its possible technicially yet tho)

Never worked that much with NavMeshes in Unity before.

And having a bigger ship wont work if monsters still walk around the ship like its small :P

[analog radish]

I understand, it's just something that I have saved for when it comes out, but I will gladly wait until you feel it's worth releasing.
Good luck with the developement of this great mod

[solid pivot]

Thanks. The initial release wont take that long any more. Probably not 2023. But very early 2024 :)

Like January probably

[golden stone]

looks nice, keep cooking

[naive talon]

you could yoink some "eager test subjects"

[naive talon]

ah. welp. I should've read like half a page further. too late. X_X

[solid pivot]

:D

Making a good first impression is important

[naive talon]

agreed.

[analog radish]

can confirm

[naive talon]

once those first few "OMG THIS MOD IS AWESOME"/"WTF IS THIS SHIT" videos and posts and impressions sink in

they're very hard to shake...

not without a pretty stonks media blitz and maybe a touch of networking and begging.

[naive talon]

speaking of which. a nice "persistent furniture" option would be pretty good. or atleast "furniture is sent to storage for next time" or even a way to double purchase the furniture/upgrades that have functions to make them permanent.

then you can have that nice "rogue-lite" feel. where although last game was a bust, now you got some shiny points to make your person less bad and your home more fancy which gets passed onto your next incarnation.

it's like... debt inheritance for the solaris in warframe or something.

[solid pivot]

Bought Suits are already saved :D

But yea, when having bigger ships, saving furniture would probably be a nice addition

[solid pivot]

Phew, took quite a while to add an own post processing shader. I dont know why Unity isnt exposing the HDRPGlobalSettings fields necessary...

[solid pivot]

Turning on night vision outside isnt very clever

Better use it for dark rooms instead :3

[naive talon]

it buuuuuurns

[solid pivot]

I did change the effect a bit

It now actually removes fog a bit

And you can close valves with it very easily

Dont worry, I will reduce the cancer inducing color a bit soon

A lot of stuff had to be done to create a semi realistic military grade image enhancing device

Foggy planet without night vision

With night vision

Lights will blend a lot more:

But in dark environments it will help a lot

The lights btw dont noticeably move with you. Its not like a head lamp at all :D

[solid pivot]

Changed the effect slightly to enhance the contrast:

Looking into lights is now even worse, which is intended:

Now tidying up the code, adding transitions and stuff. Then Night vision is finished.

[languid rose]

ngl, i think i prefer the older effect shown here

[solid pivot]

I can change it back :D

But it lacked quite some contrast in the mansion layout

[languid rose]

yeah that's entirely fair. i do love how it looks in the factory, though

the night vision will be an item you can equip in your head slot, right?

[solid pivot]

Correctly

Activating it is just F, F will also turn off all your flashlights. To activate a flashlight, currently you have to hold it in your hand again as the night vision overrides F. Dunno if I make a config value to bind night vision to another key.

[still flame]

plan to have it use a charge? i don't see a battery level in the corner

[solid pivot]

Yes, it will have a charge. 2 minutes by default I think and with the ship perks at max for battery its 4 mins

So its not totally overpowered :D

But I can make this stuff adjustable via config

[still flame]

not bad, good enough to rip the apparatus out and leave

[languid rose]

maybe have a battery penalty/cooldown for turning it on to discourage just using it in quick flashes to essentially make it last the whole day

[solid pivot]

One thing my mod actually does rn which I didnt see any other mod doing:
Checking if all clients are using the mod in the correct version :'D With this handshake I can also transmit server configurations like NightVision duration etc.

You get forcefully removed if you dont have the mod installed. One thing I also need to do is to deactivate my mod when joining a server not responding to the handshake

Its an all clients mod.

I do however have to think about how to display battery of items not in hand. Maybe I should just add another battery display. I can just clone the one already there :D

Or I also do a slight HUD remake. When I add UI elements its probably not gonna work nice with any other HUD alternating mod anyway.

I thought about it. I probably will add a battery bar to the hotbar.

[naive talon]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-shia-la-beouf-flame-gif-4445204

[solid pivot]

This, in itself, could be a mod tbh

[naive talon]

ouchies... if theres a battery duration enhancing perk, will it affect it? can it be charged?

[solid pivot]

It can be charged and yes, the perk affects all batteries

even if you drop devices when they are on

[naive talon]

7 slots?! hand slot perk/upgrade or something else?

[solid pivot]

Yes, there is the carry bags perk :)

[naive talon]

also, are those battery indicators under all of them? holy. 😮

[solid pivot]

You start with 3 and 500XP. The fourth slot costs 500XP

but you can decide to just go with 3 slots

And yes, I just added battery indicators. They dont work yet. Items without battery wont have one of course

[naive talon]

https://tenor.com/view/thonk-thinking-sun-thonk-sun-thinking-sun-gif-14999983

[solid pivot]

Its an interesting balance tbh. Also thinking about raising the starting XP to 1000 and making the slot cost 1000. So you can either upgrade your sprint stamina by 30% or buy the fourth slot :D

Thats a balancing act.

The equipment slots do change the balancing quite a lot

[naive talon]

https://tenor.com/view/bunnies-what-confused-meh-gif-13712192

[solid pivot]

I will test the mod in a couple days with friends :D

Then I can talk more about balancing

[naive talon]

if stamina max is edited by another mod, will that 30% add to the current value, whatever it may be...?

[solid pivot]

Totally depends on how that other mod is applying their stamina buff

[naive talon]

setting default...?

like a mikes tweaks?

[solid pivot]

I do the least invasive method

I basically just add a "* StaminaMultiplier" to the code wherever its needed

If another mod does the same it would just become "Stamina * MyMultiplier * OtherMultiplier"

and would work just fine

[naive talon]

https://tenor.com/view/o-rocha-andre-jesus-do-rock-joas-gif-21128480

seems good.

[solid pivot]

I dont plan on this mod being very compatible with other mods tbh. Its adding a lot to the game and some stuff wont be compatible.

I might add a compability mode etc.

I might also add compability by hand for certain mods

[naive talon]

...

[solid pivot]

Or just swallow them by redoing them myself and adding them to my mod.

[naive talon]

https://tenor.com/view/senator-armstrong-omelette-mother-of-all-omelettes-metal-gear-rising-revengeance-gif-23813585

[solid pivot]

Mikes Tweaks for example

[naive talon]

mother of all omelets moment

[solid pivot]

I could basically do the exact same thing with my mod :P

Then you just dont need MikesTweaks any longer

(As long as you want to play with LethalCompany+. If you dont want to, you switch back to MikesTweaks)

I dont want people to feel like they have to choose. So I am open to adding as much stuff as needed to the mod if compability is not possible.

[naive talon]

well of course I wanna play with your stuff. just gotta make sure I can inject my own balance. something I always stress to friend who mods is: "configurability is king".

[solid pivot]

You will be able to balance everything :)

Starting Inventory Slots, Starting Stamina, Stamina Increase per level, perk level count, perk prices etc.

[naive talon]

https://tenor.com/view/joseph-joestar-nice-good-job-gif-7319727

[solid pivot]

You can basically define that the stamina perk increases max stamina by 50% per level and adjust the prices to be 500, 1000, 1500 and it only having 3 levels.

There is a vanilla setting I tested and think is quite fun. But go wild :D

[naive talon]

I'd probably go cheaper but smaller levels personally. but noice.

[solid pivot]

Its currently very small :D

[analog radish]

I like that!

[naive talon]

200 for 25% then go up a 100 for each further step or something of the sort.

[solid pivot]

I feel its more fun to be able to upgrade 5 levels in different things than just 1 :D

You will also be able to deactivate certain stuff. If you think the night vision is too powerful you can simply deactivate it. You can define the prices and max discounts etc.

I am willing to go to the extreme regarding configuration :P

[analog radish]

Giving the configuration option helps a lot with certain compatibility aspects of some mods, not directly, but it does help.

[naive talon]

night vision underpowered cause blinded when lit and the color intensity is blinding in of itself too.

[solid pivot]

I am also willing to add presets and in-game configuration in a later update

So if you open a lobby you can select a preset, create one etc.

[naive talon]

oh? ingame presetting?

[solid pivot]

Yea, why not? I dont see any reason not to :)

Not for the initial release tho. It takes a bit of time to add all the inputs and configure them

[naive talon]

as long as I can save my own so I don't have to reconfigure every time I rage delete a save.

[solid pivot]

And make it look nice and tidy

Thats the reason to have presets

You can create settings and save them as a preset

[naive talon]

or just configure the txt files before even starting up...? :V

[solid pivot]

Sure. The txt files are just a preset anyway at that point

"Vanilla", "Config" and custom in-game saveable presets

But not with 1.0. 1.0 will only have config :D

Maybe thats a good feature for 1.1

1.1:
Headline feature: Presets
Other stuff:

• Portable door unlocker
• EMP Grenade
• Secret stuff :3

Oh, I really know what that secret stuff is gonna be

And it will be fun xD

Wont spoil it

Oh. And I do know what 1.2 features will be

I have a lot of ideas rn

And the only thing I gonna say about it: Syringes are fun

Injecting them is even more fun. At least sometimes

1.2: Drugs

[naive talon]

💀 ._.

[solid pivot]

I have a very good concept about it. Wont spoil it any more

People love "Risk & Reward" regarding this game

[naive talon]

in your mod are perks etc bought per person and stored on the save so if the same people come and play they'll still have their upgrades?

or are they team shared?

[solid pivot]

I can confirm. Jeb HATES fireworks

There are player and ship perks

Ship being saved in the servers savegame. Player on each device. Because of the config stuff I will remove all perks when joining a session but your XP stay.

So you can quickly select the perks you want

And finally. Night Vision Icon

[naive talon]

question: Loot saver is a chance to not loose loots on wipe?

[solid pivot]

100% correct

So at 10% every item gets a roll and has a 10% chance of staying

At 80% its 80% chance

[naive talon]

Thoughts on a ship upgrade that lets you package specific items x the number of levels?

and by "package" I mean, put into a storage form of some kind that doesn't delete and can be unpacked later to sell. sorta like a present.

I had given an idea to someone else where basically it was an upgrade where every time you went up to orbit you could select X items to put into a compression box bank thing to keep safe from deletion and it'd spit them out in a package similar in function to a present but without the value increasing basically. when unpacking.

[solid pivot]

Dunno yet :D What I thought about tho is tiered ships with the 3rd tier having a selling point in the ship but buying at a lower rate.

But before I do this I want to check if I can actually replace the ship 3d model without problems

[bleak frigate]

very excited for this

u cookin good

[feral spruce]

do you have a potential time frame as to when 1.0 may come out? if not its fine i was just curious

[dark gyro]

Just realised this exists lol, my modpack's called LethalCompanyPlus 😅

[solid pivot]

Starting to model the body armor :)

It will be a basic plate vest

"basic" :D

[naive talon]

in before it's like 40 weight and you're already at half speed.

[solid pivot]

Nah, probably be around 20

Its relatively thin steel plates

Will only safe you for up to 3 shotgun shots

[naive talon]

and it stops stuff thats not already instant death from being as deadly?

[solid pivot]

its random tho. First shot will have like 95% chance of blocking, second 70% and third 40% and after that 10%

Its primarily for shotgun shots. Dunno about other stuff :D

I know that nutcrackers arent that hard but well

I need something for the body :D

[solid pivot]

Some smoothing and details missing :)

And UV of course

[analog radish]

That looks great!

[solid pivot]

Thx :) Never did a lot of 3d modelling before. Learning as I am going

I am thinking about displaying the damage on it

It can save you a max of 3 times, after that it just breaks.

And every step should be visible so you know how much protection is left :D

[solid pivot]

I probably have to create a special player mesh for the body armor tho

One of the straps of the tanks on the back is shining through

[tropic frigate]

the model honestly looks maybe a bit too high quality for lc

[solid pivot]

The shaders will make it look crappy anway

[tropic frigate]

well i'd rather not have 250mb of an armor model

[solid pivot]

according to unity its around 210kb

In-engine screenshot

[tropic frigate]

ah

it looks very high quality

[solid pivot]

I export the textures at 512x512

So they are around 1MB for the whole model

So the whole thing is around 1.5MB in size

Thats because I use normals to my advantage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-hA5KsY_Yg

And I use PBR

[bleak frigate]

looks good

[sinful dune]

Typically videogame models use what’s called a low poly and a high poly. They make a very very detailed model and then they bake the lighting and details into special texture layers that get plastered over a lower quality model and it looks nearly identical in game but significantly more optimized

[solid pivot]

I have to find a new name probably because some mod pack is using the name

Somewhat sad as I was looking forward to add the + to the logo in the main menu.

[analog radish]

Oof

[solid pivot]

Would have worked with every mod out there which changes the logo

Making MoreCompany to MoreCompany+

But well. I will come up with something else but I wont communicate it

On release day I will rename this thread etc.

[analog radish]

Good luck! If you want some suggestions, don't forge to write here

[solid pivot]

I do have around 10 ideas :)

One I want to communicate because I probably wont use it

But its a pun

There is it <3

(And yes, adding it to the game by now is trivial for me thanks to the pipelines I created to do so :D)

Looking like some special ops unit

how much else on your roadmap u gotta do?

[solid pivot]

I would love to have the headlamp and headset ready for release

Thinking about quickly adding config and releasing it on christmas

[bleak frigate]

[solid pivot]

But well, gotta think about it

New mod name: Christmas Company

[bleak frigate]

u could just do it the day after christmas, most ppl are gonna be spending with family that day anyways

[solid pivot]

But yea, maybe I will release the mod in december. Making good progress so far

Head mounted stuff is way easier to add anyway

But gonna make 3 versions of the vest next

Thinking about just doing it with normal maps tho

Would be way easier than creating 3 meshes

Dont trust your life on the vest when it looks like this

[solid pivot]

Still looks useable

Thought about displaying the health of the armor like the battery with a bar

But instead I will make it possible to change the icon depending on the health

[solid pivot]

Do you think that the protection should be a chance? Like: Fresh vest 99% chance of stopping shotgun, 1 Hit taken 95%, 2 Hits taken 90%? Or should it just protect 100% for 3 hits?

Or alternatively: Should it just do damage reduction?

Like: Fresh 90% damage reduction, 1 Hit 70% damage reduction, 2 Hits 50% damage reduction?

[analog radish]

For my part, I feel that Damage reduction would be ideal, a possibility of surviving attacks, although it is 90%, there are 10% of people who will feel that it could be unfair

[solid pivot]

Yea, so I discussed a bit with a friend. As it would also protect from turrets I would do damage reduction.
Vest has 90 health
One turret bullet reduces the health by 10
One shotgun bullet reduces the health by 30
Damage reduction is 100% at 90 health and around 50% at 1 health.
If the vest is below health of the bullet, for example 20 health and a shotgun hits you, you still get the reduction but the item instantly breaks after that.

I think this is the best approach and the one where it feels mostly fair

[analog radish]

True

[solid pivot]

But lethal company dev made it hard for me to do so

Oof

Have to transpile a lot here

btw

Whats funny

Damage of 50 will kill without critically injury.

The else part is totally unnecessary

So I am thinking about just removing it

But this also means: With the vest you can get critically injured by shotguns and turrets :0

[vital wolf]

tbh makes more sense for shotgun to break the vest in 2 hits, that could just be me tho

[solid pivot]

1st hit with full HP would be 100% damage reduction, 2nd hit ~84%, 3rd hit ~66%. Overall you got the damage of a half shotgun shot and the vest is broken

depending on how close you were thats 50 damage :P

You have 100hp

Vest wont protect you from kick damage of the nutcracker tho :P

[solid pivot]

I will probably reduce the damage turrets do to the vest to 5

They still kill very fast

But its working

[dark gyro]

Looking good 🔥

[solid pivot]

Oof, making it compatible with MoreCompany will be hard. So many prefixes with return false...

Just like the mod wants to be incompatible with as many other mods as possible

Note to self: Add bigger lobbies to my mod later too

One mod to rule them all

Just realized while heading to bed that I can use priority. Well. A lot of work tomorrow

Vest btw is completely working now

[plush fern]

https://tenor.com/view/love-cute-bunny-fluffy-rabbit-gif-9332195004480971390

[small glade]

Since this mod is marked as WIP, I'd like to suggest that you seriously consider using a more unique name. It will be good for discovery on the thunderstore and easier to tell if people reupload for my Jannies

[solid pivot]

I already have a new name in mind.

[solid pivot]

Won't share it yet tho. Its a lot of work to rename all namespaces, usings, assetbundles etc.

But I am adding configuration now. So I will be able to release whenever I feel like it.

But at least the plugin awake itself is very tidied up now :D

[analog radish]

That's good!

[solid pivot]

Does binding to int[] for configuration work?

Or should I do string and split by ,?

[small glade]

Maybe? It works for a ton of junk, even Enums

I guess as long as you had a default that made sense it could figure out the size of the array?

[solid pivot]

Size is dynamic :D

[small glade]

That sorta sounds like a job for a list, then

Arrays don't tend to like being resized if you wanna add more items and having a large array with empty slots is kinda.. guh

[solid pivot]

Does thunderstore support that for their UI config stuff?

Probably have to test that

[small glade]

You're in uncharted waters for me, you'd have to test it yea

[solid pivot]

Got my answer:
Supported types: String, Boolean, Byte, SByte, Int16, UInt16, Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, Single, Double, Decimal, Enum, Color, Vector2, Vector3, Vector4, Quaternion, Rect

So I did it like this

Configs are split like
ServerSide/PlayerPerks.cfg
ServerSide/ShipPerks.cfg
ClientSide/KeyBinds.cfg
etc.

[analog radish]

It's fantastic that it has quite a lot configuration options, your mod already looks like it's going to be one of the best out there

[solid pivot]

Thats my goal :P

And just a heads up regarding balancing:
I know that you can get powerful rather quickly if you are a good player. Thats why I came up with the tier system which won't be added in the initial release.

The tier system will affect a multitude of systems in my mod:

• Max perk level
• New perks
• New items

A tier is unlocked by spending a shitton of XP into the Tier perk.
Normal upgrades range from 50-1,000 XP cost.

A Tier will cost like 15,000 XP.

So you actually play like 5 long sessions to get a new Tier. It should feel like something special :)

Thats why I really want to replace the ships design with every TIer. So it actually feels like a big progress

Giving you new perks, new max level of perks, new and better items, a bigger ship

And maybe even new moons later on

Travelling further into space :)

Thats the long term plan.

Adding new moons with new layouts and new more lethal enemies

[analog radish]

Wow!

[solid pivot]

But for the initial release: Its just perks and items :3

[analog radish]

That'd be enough for now

[solid pivot]

It totally depends on how good the game is in keeping up the hype tbh :D

If I create a mod I of course want it to be played

[analog radish]

of course

[solid pivot]

But in the end its meant to become a "partial conversion" :D

[solid pivot]

👀

👀 👀

[analog radish]

wow!

that's a lot

[solid pivot]

And I probably will add a base value modifier for all perks.

Like:
Sprint Speed
Base: 100%

So you can change the starting amount

This probably will make a lot of stuff from other mods obsolete for many

[solid pivot]

Maybe, to add some flavour I could make the destruction of the vest configurable :)

Currently at max damage the vest item is getting destroyed

[analog radish]

Hey, sorry, just out of curiosity, how many strokes of a shovel could the vest withstand?

[solid pivot]

zero It only affects bullets so far

Its a "bulletproof" vest. Not a shovelproof one

Are your friends that hostile that you need protection from them? :'3

One scrap item I also thought about is a nuclear bomb

And if you drop it too far it will explode

[analog radish]

Actually it was for this...
Sometimes I use it, but it changes the style of the shotgun hit so that it is not as broken by the Nutcrackers as by the user

[solid pivot]

Dunno if this will work tbh

Sounds like a prefix return false mod

[analog radish]

And I wanted to know if it was intentionally compatible, but I think not

[solid pivot]

I do transpile the shotgun method

If another mod is replacing it, my code wont get executed. So the vest will take 0 damage

[analog radish]

I see, thx!

[solid pivot]

In the method there is this code:

        localPlayerController.DamagePlayer(num2, hasDamageSFX: true, callRPC: true, CauseOfDeath.Gunshots, 0, fallDamage: false, shotgunRayPoint.forward * 30f);

I basically just add this after that:

        BulletProofVest.TakeDamage(localPlayerController, DamageOrigin.Shotgun);

As long as CauseOfDeath.Gunshots is still there the vest will protect you tho

But when TakeDamage isnt called, the vest wont take any damage and not work properly and easily be way overpowered :D

[analog radish]

I get it, thx for the clarification

[solid pivot]

No problem

What is the mod called? I can look up if its compatible :D

[analog radish]

I will have to remove and modify a large part of the mods in my modpack to make it work with yours, but with how extensive and quality it is, it is worth it

[analog radish]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Hexi/HexiBetterShotgun/

[solid pivot]

yea...

exactly as I thought. The least preferable way to do this

Copying the game code into another method and replacing it that way.

But cant expect everyone to understand MSIL

[analog radish]

hey, dw.
I'll uninstall it

[solid pivot]

Does anyone know if I can transpile the methods of other mods? Probably not, right? :D

[analog radish]

I don't think it's possible, but I don't know how to code this, so I'm not sure

[tropic frigate]

and it uses lc_api

wonder if someone could remaster it

[solid pivot]

Is there a way to manually apply a patch thru harmony without attributes? If so I can make a lot of stuff compatible

Seems like HarmonyLib.Transpilers.ReplaceWith is doing what I want?

So I could feed it the MethodBase of another mods method and replace it

Wont investigate this further now. But after launch

I need the feedback of what mods are the most important for people

[sinful dune]

In my opinion there is a distinct lack of gear that can only be acquired through finding it and not buying it, I think a really good pairing for the vest would be a security helmet you can find that would be a one time jail free card from snare fleas

[naive talon]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-shia-la-beouf-flame-gif-4445204

[naive talon]

Eeeehh... sounds grindy...

[solid pivot]

@naive talon There are items planned which you can only find :3

Because well, the company would never ever sell them

I will spoil it a bit...
||A crucifix for example||

And yesh. You should never ever step in front of the company with it tbh

But thats stuff for 1.1

But yes, I really like the helmet idea

[analog radish]

Ok, that's actually interesting, it even has some kind of lore

[solid pivot]

^^

[analog radish]

lol (shotgun update)

[solid pivot]

:D

Will also add moon price adjustments

To the config files

[rapid hollow]

what are the dependencies for this mod? 👀

[solid pivot]

only BepInEx

I will create a library for my mod later which other mods can use to work with my mod or build mods upon

[rapid hollow]

ty!

[solid pivot]

But when I do this with a library I will create a totally custom terminal or at least an alternative OS for the terminal which is launchable by stuff like "start LethalVista"

Custom terminal will support more characters, simple drawing stuff and colored text

I would love to do a whole LethalVista later

With windows to open different helmet cams on the terminal etc.

Opening the radar, having an encyclopedia etc. etc.

Probably will use some HTML Renderer for Unity for that then

Maybe this could be a Tier 3 Ship Upgrade

Like: X69 Terminal

With 69 colors support

My mod is lacking memes :3

But I do have a roadmap. This wont be coming for at least 3-4 updates

First I really need those syringes

And a ||crucifix||

So, lets talk about something serious

I will ask my friends if they have time to play on the 27th with me

If the mod works. I would release it on the 28th

Configuration stuff will be finished today

[solid pivot]

Just a heads up. If you deactivate a perk but set the base value of for example Sprint Speed to 500 you will still get 500% sprint speed. You simply cant level it when the perk is deactivated.

[analog radish]

Ok, I like that

A lot for my Modpack

[solid pivot]

I might also add the ability to adjust vanilla item weights and prices too when I am at it :)

So people wont miss MikesTweaks

[solid pivot]

XP granting will be changed to per quota.

So if you fulfill a quota of 400 you'll receive 400 XP after the quota is cleared.

Rounds tend to reach 4-5 hours for me and when people drop out they would receive nothing otherwise if the other players keep playing until they fail

And that way progression will feel more smooth

[gleaming junco]

Holy cow stumbled upon this thread and literally read the entire thing... This mod seems crazy lmao nice work

[gleaming junco]

Is this a relatively simple thing to do or is it more complex? Would love to have this functionality in my mod as well, as when other players don't have it installed, desync issues are likely. (But I only have a small amount of experience in Java so this C# thing has been a little tricky lol. Coding isn't my day job XD)

[solid pivot]

I will add this functionality to the library I will create later

So other mods can use it too

Basically I will open up the handshake process. Its a very simple and basic handshake.

btw

👀

[gleaming junco]

Yeah that would be an awesome thing to have lol. The mod compatibility checker mod seems really awesome in theory, but needs to be much more seamless. It's something i'm hoping the base game does eventually, actually tell you the mods you are missing when you attempt to join a lobby

But kicking people out if they don't have something is a good safety net if the mod introduces any desyncing

[solid pivot]

Oh and regarding how to do this, you will have to add my mod as a reference and dependency and then it will probably look something like this:

Network.Manager.AddHandshakeHandler(
  () => 
  {
    var data = new Dictionary<string, object>();
    data.Add("MyCustomHandshakeData", "test");
    return data;
  }, 
  (data) => 
  {
    DoSomething(data["MyCustomHandshakeData"]);
  }
);

And you can of course use Network.Manager.KickPlayer(clientID, "Mismatched mod version of XYZ. Required version is 1.0");

So you would basically send the mod version of your mod via handshake and then check on the server side if its compatible

And either kick the player or not

data["MyCustomHandshakeData"] will be empty when the client doesnt have your mod installed besides my library etc.

But these are just thoughts :D

Maybe I can even do a shorthand version of this to make it very simple

[gleaming junco]

That seems simple enough with good documentation!

[solid pivot]

I do like lambdas. So expect a lot of lambdas in the library :'D

[gleaming junco]

Half life fan confirmed

[solid pivot]

(lambdas is the () => {} stuff)

Half Life 3 confirmed. My mod will be called "Half Life 3"

Would be a funny name

But well. Valve wouldnt agree

Btw.
I am creating the configuration in a way to support the presets later :)

I just need to add another LoadFromPreset method later :D

Any other stuff you like to see?

You can remap the emote buttons in-game with v45, right?

So I dont have to add that to the keybinds section

[analog radish]

yes

[solid pivot]

alot of configs

[ebon sierra]

(Just saying this now, this is a joke.)

Ya know what's harder than making this big of a mod? Getting my friends together, and getting them to actually install a mod.

[solid pivot]

True story :3

But my friends accepted the 27th as the date to test the mod

I will test it tomorrow with only 1 friend

But best tests are with 4 players :D

[ebon sierra]

I'm down to help test if you need more people

[solid pivot]

I want to stream the gameplay and I am speaking German to my audience

Would get weird :P

[ebon sierra]

I'm just sick of my friends complaining so much about LC mods like their dumb asses don't install like 500 mods on every other game and make my hard drive suffer

[solid pivot]

Best thing about my mod: You only need to install 1 mod and have a whole new experience

[ebon sierra]

I only speak english, but I'm down to stay muted and just use chat if that would work

[solid pivot]

Thats what I meant with partial conversion earlier.

I change so many small and big things that the whole experience feels so different

I am also down to add some lore later but I dunno how much lore the game dev is planning to add

I mean: The little girl needs some lore :3

The masks probably too

Do people understand setting keybindings like this in configs? "<Keyboard>/1"

I think most mods do it that way?

[ebon sierra]

At least my friends won't bitch about balance if the mod changes so much that it isn't just "vanilla with"

[solid pivot]

Nah, its 100% not vanilla at all

You are waaaay more powerful in total

But you can still die of course

[ebon sierra]

Wanted to try LateGameUpgrades, they said it was too op (it was the older versions, so they did have a point)

[solid pivot]

I mean: Every item does have downsides

Thats my philosophy as I understood the games philosophy like that ^^

[ebon sierra]

Wanted to try LethalProgression, they didn't like that people could get screwed over by teammates bc they spec'ed into something else

[solid pivot]

Lightning Rod is one-use only and is metallic itself and very heavy. So placing it is dangerous.

Bullet proof vest is 15lbs. And metallic too. Doesnt have any more downsides besides that tbh.

Missile launcher is only 3 shots and it may not hit where you plan to hit.

Swimming fins wont save you from marchs pond xD

You still cant get out

And I want to add a weight limit to them

[ebon sierra]

It's like LC is the only game where they're vanilla purists, but in every other game, constantly adding new mods, making me wait minutes ~ HOURS to install them just to play, and then they refuse to put in the god dam thunderstore modpack code that imports everything for them

[solid pivot]

I try to stay at least somewhat true to the game

[ebon sierra]

I feel like the danger of setting up a lightning rod in a lightning storm, plus insane weight, is already enough of a downside, right? Why make it one time use?

Aren't they expensive?

[solid pivot]

120 credits

And you can configure them

(the price etc)

[ebon sierra]

How well does one lightning rod work on a stormy map? (not assuming Titan/Rend/Dine)

[solid pivot]

Not reuseable because I fear people putting them down, waiting for a lightning, picking it up again, getting it higher, place it etc.

They work 100%

[ebon sierra]

Cause if it's strong enough to basically nullify stormy on the lower tier moons, I get why it's one time use

[solid pivot]

Every lightning which would hit anything beneath them will get redirected

[ebon sierra]

....

yeah nevermind. one time use is fair

[solid pivot]

You see :P

The current lightning rod in the mod is probably the Tier 2 version anyway

There will be a shittier version later

[ebon sierra]

You can basically disable stormy entirely with good placement, the only risk is setting it up since you'll be slow af moving it

[solid pivot]

One for like 30 credits

But not 100% reliable and only with an actual radius

[ebon sierra]

How big is the radius?

[solid pivot]

And Tier 3 Lightning Rod will be a dream come true. 100% safety, replaceable, actually a portable charging port for other hardware, way longer range but at a cost of around 700 credits or so :D

But thought about a good downside: If too many lightnings hit them without someone charging a device, they'll break

So they will have a power bar on a screen

If it reaches >120% the thing will break

[ebon sierra]

That seems a bit steep considering the price. Maybe temporary disable rather than completely bricking it?

A temporary disable would still be enough to get people killed via lightning if they aren't careful, but bricking a 700 credit lightning rod cause nobody was outside to recharge smth just seems cruel

[solid pivot]

I'll see :D Tier 1 and Tier 3 Lightning Rod will first come to the mod when I actually have Ship Tiers

1.0 - 1.1 wont have the Ship Tiers yet.

Maybe 1.2

1.1 will have fun with syringes

And people think I am joking

But well

Youll see

[ebon sierra]

You're basically forcing a member of the crew to stay near it if they don't want the 700 credits to be thrown away for no benefit

[solid pivot]

Or to just put it inside when its full enough :P

Or just deactivating it and put it on the ground somewhere until people are ready to leave

[solid pivot]

This might be interesting for others mods too 👀

[solid pivot]

Server Config syncing working, yay

I also refactored some code

And I now have custom code for when you have NightVision and Flashlight mapped to the same key (which is the default and 'F') and if you dont.

[naive talon]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-john-mulaney-yeah-yas-alright-gif-16004067

[naive talon]

Sounds like a better deal than that jetpack I see everyone blow up with.

[naive talon]

Perma, or just shuts off from overload protection?

[solid pivot]

I dont think the company knows of such a thing as a overload protection

MOREEEEEEEE POWEEERRR!

[naive talon]

Sounds like a bunch of hypocrits.

[solid pivot]

The company despises purists

Not very great assets

Its all about stonks!

[bleak frigate]

so true

[solid pivot]

Is this weird behaviour of the flashlights still a thing? That if you have a laser pointer in hand and switch to another item slot and use F to activate a flashlight it shows the laser pointer?

Or if you pick up a laser pointer while having an activated flashlight

[solid pivot]

If yes: Not with my mod

All flashlights which are turned on will get turned off when you pick them up and have a flashlight active

Even if you have a laser pointer in hand. Pressing F will turn on a flashlight instead

Actually what it also does: If you have a flashlight in your hand and activate it, all other flashlights in your inventory get deactivated at the same time

Just a small QoL improvement

[analog radish]

I'm back

[analog radish]

deppends on the mod

If it is MikesTweaks or FlaslightToggle, yes

If it's Resserved Slost, no.
It prioritizes the reserved one

[gleaming junco]

Pretty sure this was just fixed in reservedslot

[analog radish]

Yep, exactly

[tight scarab]

hello, sorry if i missed it but is this available for download yet?

[analog radish]

No, not yet

[plush fern]

Anything with [WIP] in the title is more or less a project that isn't available yet but is being made.

[analog radish]

Now MikesTweaks no

[solid pivot]

Yea, like I said: With my mod its like this:
If you use a flashlight all other flashlight items will get deactivated.
By pressing F you will activate the pro flashlight with the highest charge. If no pro flashlight is found the flashlight with the highest charge. If a pro flashlight or flashlight is already being used, it will get deactivated.
If you pick up an active flashlight item from the ground and have a flashlight enabled, the picked up flashlight is getting deactivated.

You cant ever have 2 flashlights active at the same time

[analog radish]

cool!

[solid pivot]

I bascially rewrote the whole flashlight logic for this

[analog radish]

That's really cool
My only question is, what would happen to the kids who have ReservedSlot?
I know it is a very popular mod and they will want to play it along with your mod

[solid pivot]

They suffer

I dont plan any compability as my mod follows a different philosophy

You want an extra slot for a flashlight? Use the head lamp

as a bonus: Head lamp will be a lot stronger to support your team mates with light

[analog radish]

That's cool!

Despite things, I'm glad you thought of almost everything

[grim drift]

I prefer this mindset much more tbh, Reserved slots kinda break the concept of bringing gear should be a luxury that limits how much stuff you can carry

[solid pivot]

Yea, I introduced extra clothing slots for this

[grim drift]

I like the clothing slot system, it's a pretty elegant solution for reserved slots since you can customise the costs of items available for those slots

[solid pivot]

:)

[grim drift]

Whereas flashlights and radios are dirt cheap and essentially free to carry with the other mods installed

[solid pivot]

Yea, they are more expensive but have the added benefit of only using a clothing slot

And they have weight

[grim drift]

(Plus bonus points for cool visual models on the player, I'm a big fan)

[solid pivot]

^^

[grim drift]

I imagine the clothing models will have clipping issues with MoreCompany cosmetics, which are pretty popular in the community. But that'd be a small sacrifice to make for actual coherent models that are functional

[solid pivot]

Yea, they will have problems :D

[grim drift]

Tbh it'll only really be the helmet that will clip a lot, and that's just NVGs presently right?

[solid pivot]

I am not against the idea to add some flair to items :P

So maybe I will add cosmetics later in a prestige system

If you reset your player youll get prestige points so you can change the appearance of items

[grim drift]

Ooh that could be cool, as long as they're obviously the same items but some improved variation of them

[solid pivot]

Bulletproof vest having a military camouflage look for example

Or just a pink version

Or a golden one

[grim drift]

Like for example you could improve the visual of the body armour to be some crappy hand-me-down to start with then have some nicer variations as the player levels

Regardless I think this is an instant include for my modpack when it drops, I'll be phasing out everything this improves upon

[solid pivot]

^^

Most QoL stuff will become part of my library later on. Like the flashlight and F button behaviour

But when its a library of course all functionality can be configured

Which is the reason why it will take some time to split the project

Applying patches only when config is saying so etc is a lot of work

A lot of refactoring needs to be done

[grim drift]

Makes sense

[solid pivot]

yay

Just tested the syncing of flashlights

seems to be working great

I will also add something to the Night Vision and Flashlight being bound to the same key.
If a night vision is empty instead of trying to activate the night vision it will then switch to activating flashlights :D

[analog radish]

that's actually smart

[solid pivot]

Was this documented anywhere btw?

Survival Kit is quite a problem regarding deactivating flashlights etc.

I probably will deactivate the survival kit store item when flashlights OR walkie talkies OR the shovel is deactivated

Also funny

but you only get a shovel

[solid pivot]

btw

there is a secret eject command already

[small glade]

hmmm

[solid pivot]

Command is simply "eject"

I find this funny because there is a mod to do the same thing which is already in the game (but well, undocumented) :D

Deactivating vanilla items is now working. Next I have to fix some perk configuration stuff and fix some bugs regarding saving.

I like the idea of doing some hardcore runs with only the base flashlight :D

[analog radish]

Do it with the True Darkness of the Diversity Mod

That's another true cool mod

[bronze lotus]

is that useable by everyone on the ship or just host? xD

[analog radish]

I hope host only

[solid pivot]

I dunno, havent tested it yet on clients :D

[solid pivot]

Clients can do eject too

But it wont execute

[solid pivot]

A lot of polishing going on rn

[analog radish]

that's good!

[solid pivot]

Stressful

restarting the game every 1 minute XD

10 Slots are now fitting

[analog radish]

wow

[solid pivot]

I had to scale down the inventory

I dont like the inventory overlapping the chat window

[analog radish]

understandable

[solid pivot]

I invested way too much time for it tho

The game does have some weird behaviour when not 16:9 :D

I kept the inventory orientated at the UI canvas of the game

I could fix this but well. Maybe the dev will fix it later

Oh, another thin I have to me configurable

I switched the direction of the scroll wheel

Because I feel its better that way but better make it configurable

[analog radish]

I understand.
and I am glad that it is configurable because there are people who are used to the current direction

[solid pivot]

Default is inverted tho. You have to deactivate it

Moon prices working

Most configuration stuff is working now. Only Bulletproof Vest, NightVision customization, Deadline Length, Save suits after death and deactivating the ability to extend the deadline missing.

Oh, your player perks get reset if you join a lobby in which your perks wont work (for example you have level 8 in a perk and the lobby only has 4 levels defined) or when your remaining XP would be less than 0. You get all your XP and all perks are reset then.

[analog radish]

great!

[solid pivot]

If you either mostly play in lobbys with standard settings or with friends in the same configuration, you'll keep your levelled perks

[analog radish]

Ok, got it

[analog radish]

Is there a list with all the things that this mod gives and changes?

[solid pivot]

I will write one when I release it

Its too much to quickly post it :D

[analog radish]

I can see that

It's a LOT

[solid pivot]

This is all which came to mind, might have forgotten something:

Super secret mod name

Additions:

• Clothing system:
  Allows you to wear clothing on your head, body and feet.

• Bulletproof vest (Body wearable):
  Takes damage of bullets up to a certain amount. Is highly configurable. Standard configuration is:
  • 90 max damage

  • The vest will break when reaching max damage
  • Damage reduction at 0 damage is 100%
  • Damage reduction at max damage is 50%

  Makes it a lot easier to see even in the darkest of areas. Even helps you to look further in fog or steam.
  • Standard battery time is 180s. Can be configured.
• Rocket boots (Foot wearable):
  Gives you the ability to use a double jump.
• Lightning rod
  One-time use lightning rod. Upon activation it will extend a rod to catch all lightnings which would hit beneath it.
• Missile launcher
  Will distract enemies.
• Swimming fins
  Let you swim in the direction you are looking in water. Jump to ascend, Crouch to descend.

• Terminal:
• Overworked the help section to show all commands, including newly added ones:
• Extend:
  Allows you to extend the deadline by one day once per quota for the price of the current quota. (can be reduced via perks)
• Totalquota:
  Shows you the total amount of fulfilled quotas.
• Balancing:
• The ability to adjust scrap amount and value depending on the weather. Standard values are:

• All moon prices are configureable
• All vanilla items and new items are configureable (and you can also make them not purchaseable)
• Keybinds can be assigned.
• Flashlight key which prioritize pro over normal flashlights, wont confuse with Laser Pointer and further tweaks to ensure only one flashlight is active at a time in your inventory preventing a lot of weird situations.
• Some new scrap items just as a proof-of-concept mainly. Will expand on that later.
• Fixes a HDRP bug in the game where flashlights suddenly stop working correctly at certain angles.

Well, should also mention that you have inventory hotkeys :D

But well, yea. You get the idea

That covers around 98% of the stuff

I will try to come up with a small trailer

To show off all the features in actual gameplay

Thats why I want to play with friends too

[analog radish]

Oww

That'd be great!

[solid pivot]

I am a content creator, so yea.

:D

But primarily german.

Thats why I will ask content creators at the top of my mod to at least communicate where they got my mod from. Its not a requirement per se.

I wont go after people for not doing it.

In general content creators should mention from where they got their mods

Modding is a lot of work

Will fix some last bugs now and then I am ready to test with friends. So I will start working on the trailer. Making title cards, recording some extra stuff in unity with the high poly models etc.

[analog radish]

I'm glad to hear you're almost done.
We hope to try it soon

[solid pivot]

Mod is 13MB btw

~200kb of that is just the dlls

[analog radish]

wow

[solid pivot]

But I am way more looking forward to the 1.1 trailer later. Because I have a perfect idea for it

And just the trailer will be so hilarious

The 1.1 update WILL be hilarious too

1.0 is just the groundwork

The drug abuse theme might even get me age restricted on YT

[left rapids]

Is providing the mod name and author in the description of the videos fine?

[solid pivot]

Yesh :D

Thats totally fine

[left rapids]

Cool cool

[solid pivot]

I dont like it when there is nothing. 99% of content creators do nothing regarding mentioning a mod

[left rapids]

Yeah that's valid, if I'm uploading a video that involves mods, I'll provide the mod name and author in the description
