[Deprecated] Advanced Company

[worthy geode]

we have 11552 turned in, 8.5k on the ship

[solid pivot]

That would be 11552XP :D

[worthy geode]

ye

[solid pivot]

of 28000 to max out

And wait for the ship tier upgrades

Requiring you to spend 20k XP on it alone

[worthy geode]

yeah, i figured ship tiers would make this significantly harder to pull off

[solid pivot]

lookin good

[sonic vale]

i just had weird bug

i removed save

started new game

and noticed there's 4 slots like i previously upgraded

but i've set it to session-only

but when i used perks menu in terminal - slots was reset to 3

[solid pivot]

I can now confirm that I did this

[sonic vale]

and i have 500 starting xp, etc

https://i.imgur.com/sK522CS.png

is it supposed to be empty?

[solid pivot]

If there is no note

yes

When playing solo, there are no notes

[sonic vale]

so how exactly XP is calculated? i brought loot worth of 70, and still have only 500 starting xp

[worthy geode]

XP is added 1:1 for quota hit

so first quota you're guaranteed 130 xp if you survive

and then there's the XP multiplier

(default 100%, configurable)

[sonic vale]

both player and ship xp?

[worthy geode]

yep, adds equal amount to both

all players get 130xp and the ship gets 130xp

(for first loop ofc)

[sonic vale]

ah, so xp only in the end of the loop

[worthy geode]

yep, after selling

specifically it happens right when you're assigned your next quota

[solid pivot]

Somebody was observing the XP count 👀

[worthy geode]

i was anxious to perk up 😈

[solid pivot]

Dont look too deep into the abyss... the abyss might look back 👀

Uploaded 1..0.8 btw

1.0.8

• Fixed the hotbar bug
• Fixed the flipped steam avatars
• Added a new more fitting design for energy indicators

[worthy geode]

the new energy indicators look so good

[solid pivot]

thx

are you saying I should do the HUD overhaul?

An idea I found funyy is biomonitors

just came into my mind because of hud redesign

All team mates would be able to see your vital readings

pulse getting higher when running or seeing an enemy etc.

But probably would be hard to do for 32 players

(I mean in theory you could buy 32 bio monitors)

[sonic vale]

nah, i think part of the fun is when you don't know if someone is alive

and you have to check terminal

or find out that your friend is not your friend anymore, but mimic 😄

[plush fern]

I could see it being a very expensive ship upgrade

So that if people want that advantage they can

But having it be expensive would also make it something you have to work towards

[sonic vale]

yeah, why not

by the way @solid pivot i think it will be more logical to separate XP multipliers for ship and player, as ship is session-only no matter if player progress is permanent or not

ship is already balanced as is

[plush fern]

If you redid the little hud part at the top left that would be cool. Just an idea ofc

[sonic vale]

and player XP multiplier might need increase for session-only playthroughs

but ship is getting affected as well

[solid pivot]

xp multiplier have no effect with save progress set to true :D

[sonic vale]

yes, but ship XP getting multiplied as well

[solid pivot]

Yea and your stuff is saved in that session :D

[stiff galleon]

So any chance about it?

[solid pivot]

Dunno yet, not in the near future

[stiff galleon]

Ok thanks!

[sonic vale]

ship XP is session-only no matter if save progress is true or false, correct?

[solid pivot]

no

its savefile based

So if host keeps the save file the ship keeps the xp

Which makes mods like LCBetterSaves valueable :D

[worthy geode]

i wish LCBetterSaves had better UI

its so janky

[sonic vale]

you mean ship XP is saved between quota fails in the same save slot, if save progress=true?

[solid pivot]

Maybe one day I will add something to save ships another way :)

[worthy geode]

buttons clipping into each other, unintuitive renaming, weird numbering of saves

[solid pivot]

Yes @sonic vale

[sonic vale]

and if it's false then it's wiped after quota fail?

[solid pivot]

yes

[sonic vale]

got it

thanks

[solid pivot]

The plan basically is that you will select a savegame, click "host" and then a popup opens. "Select your ship"

And there you can save different ships

with different cosmetics and XP etc.

[sonic vale]

i still think that this game overall designed for session-only stuff 😄

not permanent

[solid pivot]

You do you, you can still play like that

even with the ships

[sonic vale]

but it's just my point of view, yeah

[solid pivot]

Just delete your ships

[sonic vale]

as long as there's switch in config between permanent and session-only - i'm happy

and multiplier of course

[autumn halo]

i think itd frustrate players enough for them to accidentally play along and try to get the rest of the team to rescue

but also like possession of a player without actually killing them would be cool

or wait masks really do that lol it just doesn't happen much in my games

idk i need to learn unity so i can just f around with my own ideas >_<

[meager cradle]

Uh random question, if I disable the shop items that pertain to one of the reserved slots, will it disable the dedicated slot on the hotbar as well or no?

[solid pivot]

no only if you deactivate all clothing items

then all slots go away

[meager cradle]

Ah gotcha

Dang, I just got the lightning rod and this thing is colossal lols

[solid pivot]

Yea, thought about something recently

How about mimics being able to destroy lightning rods?

[lunar plover]

Hmm, would be cool seeing the mimics interacting with objects more, you'd think that with them having most of the capabilities of players that they would probably interact with the same objects we can, though just in ways to hinder the player 🤔

[meager cradle]

Or just imagine they can just pick up the Lightning Rod and take it elsewhere

They pick up a shotgun just to shoot players with it lmao

[solid pivot]

btw

there will be another update

Last update this time truly tho

but it will make the missile launcher finally work as intended

👀

And yes

giants will drop you and wont pick you up for that 5s

You can theoretically just shoot a rocket and run for your life

1.0.9

• Fixed the missile launcher not working as intended. Dont read further if you want to find it out yourself:
  ||
  • If being chased by dogs or giants, they will stop chasing and going to the fireworks
  • If being eaten by a giant the giant will drop you
  • Giants will ignore players and wont pick up players for 5s
  • Dogs will ignore players for around 7s
    ||

Makes the missile launcher worth its price, aye? :P

[lunar plover]

Yeah I'd say it does at least, makes going to eclipsed moons a bit more manageable if your going in for the weather scrap value modifier to try and meet quota

[solid pivot]

Yea, thats what the missile launcher was intended for

Either getting enemies away or as a life insurance

Most items are weather based

:P

I played the game with friends and we found it unfair that there isnt any way to combat weather situations

Thats how that mod came to be

Its basically what my friends and I wanted in the game

And I share it with you :D

[meager cradle]

I'm down with that just cause it makes the game a bit more fair with using the tools that you got to counter stuff

[lunar plover]

Huh cool fact, yeah glad this mod gives the player more ways to go about the weather, encourages players to try and play around the weather rather then outright avoiding it

[solid pivot]

Finally seeing people stream it is funny

[nova ingot]

"If being eaten by a giant the giant will drop you" FREEDOM

[solid pivot]

^^

You have a small time window to help your friends

Finally the mod is making the rounds

regarding the death screen

I would put the symbols here

[plush fern]

You've more than earned it the mod is amazing! 🎉

[solid pivot]

And making the avatars light up and mabye move a bit up when someone is speaking

I dont like how other bigger lobby mods are doing it

especially when imagining playing with 32 players and having 16 dead

the screen would be filled with players :D

[meager cradle]

So what's exactly the range of the lightning rod anywho?

[solid pivot]

endless

its only vertical limited

[meager cradle]

Ah I sees

[solid pivot]

There will be a cheaper version later

Which will only do a radius

probably a radius like this

And the ship being like this size

basically an ellipsoid

[meager cradle]

@solid pivot I seem to be having some issue where if I quit out of a game and rejoin into it, I can no longer purchase any of the items added from the mod

I'm not quite sure if it's being caused by some mod incompatibility or something else

It'll work again if I completely just close my game and come back to it, but I'm unsure of how what I'm experiencing will affect me in a multiplayer dynamic

Especially since as of recently thanks to my ISP, my net has occasional blips that cause me to briefly DC every so often

[solid pivot]

Probably will have to restart the game for now :<

Its 8:30 AM here

worked the whole night and have to install some Switch games for the party :D

And I have to wake up in about 6 hours >.<

[meager cradle]

Fair enoughs, it's all good

[plush fern]

https://tenor.com/view/awesome-job-mate-gif-11607609880448062786

[solid pivot]

Playing WarioWare Move It being intoxicated will be fun, aye?

[plush fern]

Sounds like a recipe for a good time lol

[solid pivot]

Nothing will go wrong.. Surely :D

[meager cradle]

Sounds like a blast to me

[hallow mortar]

what if you added a helmet cam item for the head slot

[solid pivot]

Planned :D

[hallow mortar]

SICK

[solid pivot]

Will replace the helmets camera mod basically :P

I am thinking about adding an utility helmet tho

[hallow mortar]

honestly the more of my mods you knock out the closer i get the jumping right on this

[solid pivot]

Giving you the ability to attach 2 devices

[hallow mortar]

oooo

[solid pivot]

Basically left side and right side :D

And thats why I dont do stuff like: Disable Equipment slots

I will expand upon them

Wearing a certain helmet giving you 2 more slots basically for 2 equipment items added to a helmet

Having too much compability will hurt the mod in the long run, so I am careful about adding compability

Sounds counterintuitive but I am not motivated to add stuff which other mods do when I add all that compability

[hallow mortar]

sorry i dont think i quite understand your last statement

[solid pivot]

If for example helmet cameras mod would be broken with my mod

and I invest time to make it compatible

[ripe dock]

i have a question about this mod. id love to add this to my modpack but im wondering if i can disable the custom slots for the clothing. im okay if doing this disables the gear from showing up aswell or whatnot. also, does the clothing slots appear only when u equip clothing or are they always there

[solid pivot]

I wouldnt want to add my own helmet cameras

[hallow mortar]

ahhhh

i totally get ya

[solid pivot]

@ripe dock Only way to hide them is to deactivate all items which go into them

[hallow mortar]

if you have a worhtwhile helmet cam item then i see no reason to get the other mod

[solid pivot]

Basically removing 50% of the mod

And at some point I will maybe even drop support for other mods by choice

If I add the helmet which can do both: Walkie Talkie and Flashlight I might even drop support for ReservedSlots

[ripe dock]

does disabling them disable the lightning rod and rocket launcher?

[solid pivot]

No

Only 2 items you'll have

[ripe dock]

oh okay thats great

cause i really just want the upgradable ship stuff

[solid pivot]

I heard the night vision of my mod is the best by far

Like by a mile

Nothing even coming close

[ripe dock]

Is it compadable with true darkness from diversity?

[solid pivot]

Yes

[ripe dock]

oh dam

thats great

ur convincing me...

[solid pivot]

Just telling you what somebody told me today

[hallow mortar]

compatability with diversity is a must in my opinion

thats a good ass mod

[ripe dock]

true

[solid pivot]

The night vision actually isnt a night vision per se

In factual correct terms its called military grade image enhancing goggles

In the real world it would be a combination of a processor, thermal camera, depth camera, night vision

[hallow mortar]

doesnt quite fit well on the terminal i imagine

[solid pivot]

You can basically see further in fog

and valve steam wont bother you much

[hallow mortar]

you could call them vision enhancer goggles

or vision enhancers

[solid pivot]

Yea

[hallow mortar]

i wouldnt even think to use them in fog if just called nightvision

[meager cradle]

Of all the equipment the mod adds is the Night Vision Goggles are thing my friend's most interested in

[solid pivot]

I might add x-ray thermal vision later :'D

So you can see enemies like a small distance through walls

but only ones which give off heat

[ripe dock]

is there any big incopadabilites i should know of?

[solid pivot]

Not sure what the feedback regarding LethalExpansion is

[ripe dock]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gato-boom-explosion-explode-gif-26474412

[solid pivot]

somebody would have to test it

But as I am planning on creating my own API/Library being able to change the ship, adding moons etc. I will add moons later anyway

[ripe dock]

ill run a test right now i got time to spare and i want to try ur cool mod : D

[solid pivot]

OK :)

My advantage regarding mod development is, that I have 7 years of professional game development experience. With focus on Unity.

[hallow mortar]

i think itd be nice to see simple one off mods inside this mod as your own thing. that way i dont need a dozen little fix or qol mods

since youre ehnacing various mechanics anyways

[solid pivot]

Everything what makes sense can be combined in my mod

I will do the HUD rework probably

But when I do this I will make a fully customizable HUD

[hallow mortar]

i personally really like Elads

[solid pivot]

Like in a MMO

[hallow mortar]

would be cool if you may your own equally as good if not better version

[solid pivot]

Where you can basically decide where everything is placed in a layout editor

Scale it how you like it

[hallow mortar]

thats dope

[solid pivot]

Like visually

Basically going into the quick menu with tab

And having a new option "Edit layout"

[hallow mortar]

but yeah things like being able to look a bit more straight down, having a value tracker at the sell table, the ability to restart from within the dropship manually, a popup for when there are new discounts at the store

just to name a handful of simple things that you could maybe implement

i dunno what would make sense to you; just random thoughts i had

[solid pivot]

Good ideas :)

[hallow mortar]

oh rebalancing the teleporters would be nice as well if thats in your scope

[meager cradle]

Found the mod that's causing my issue

It's LethalExpansion

[solid pivot]

oh

[hallow mortar]

shocker

lmao

[meager cradle]

I knew it had to be some mod that edits the terminal in some way but wasn't sure so I just incrementally enabled what I had til I found what replicated the issue

I only have er, ~27 mods or so in my profile so thankfully didn't take an eternity

[solid pivot]

It may sound counterintuitive

But when I replace the store of the terminal

More mods will likely be compatible

[meager cradle]

Least it's not troubleshooting my usual Risk of Rain 2 profile, that thing has like ~80 mods on it (excluding API/Libs for dependencies alone, it'd be 120 otherwise)

[eternal ivy]

So what did you settle on when it comes to slots? Centering all of them, centering blue ones, or centering with an offset based on chat?

[solid pivot]

Centering all over the entire screen but they cant go over the chat

[eternal ivy]

Glad to see battery indicators updated too, even though you said they were not a priority.

[umbral mesa]

flashlight toggle is buggin for me rn

ok it was just that flashlight toggle mod

[sonic vale]

i was able to save my friend with teleport once, he was almost eaten

even blood particles was emitted

and at the last millisecond he was teleported away 😄

MLG

[eternal ivy]

Does Save progress option being set to false makes XP reset on every lobby start? Even on an existing save?

[sonic vale]

nah, i think it's saved into save, but resets after you fail quota

and player xp is saved into host save as well

[eternal ivy]

I've badly worder the question. Edited.

[sonic vale]

@solid pivot look, i started completely new save with save progress = false

https://i.imgur.com/Ii1s4Gt.png

4 slots

i entered terminal perks, then exited

https://i.imgur.com/WOCe2JU.png

3 slots

https://i.imgur.com/pAnScq5.png i'm also able to start game without sync too, on a new save, with 4 slots

so ultil you use perks menu - player perks are not reset (and possibly not synced with the host)

[echo cove]

how i download

[eternal ivy]

@solid pivot think compatibility list would be better served as some doc link. Spreadsheet or a simple word document, whatever the easiest for you.
Edit: google spreadsheet with public comments could be a go to, as anyone will be able to help with adding to it without actually touching the spreadsheet itself.

[eternal ivy]

Download what?

[echo cove]

this mod

i didnt see a link

[eternal ivy]

Install r2modman and download through it or with Install with Mod Manager button on Thunderstore.

As the mod page doesn't have list of mods that are incompatible or just don't work well with AC here's a couple I found so far:
FlashlightFix - similar functionality is already included in AC
HotbarPlus - AC has different hotbar handling with upgrades
HexiBetterShotgun - bulletproof vest will not be damaged by shotgun, but will still reduce the damage to you
ExtraDaysToDeadline - similar functionality is already included in AC
BiggerLobby/MoreCompany - similar functionality is already included in AC, except MoreCompany's cosmetics
ScannablePlayerItems - works, but won't highlight new items added by AC
WeatherMultiplier/MeteoMultiplier - AC already has similar functionality

[eternal ivy]

I just had my slots shrink in size after getting some perks unrelated to slots.

[sonic vale]

@solid pivot i think there's bug with UI scale

my UI scale randomly getting from very small to very large

especially after terminal usage

https://i.imgur.com/QGWhCZo.png

like that

[eternal ivy]

Yeah, something's amiss once again.

It shrank again for me. THis time after ordering soem items.

[wild silo]

Report on compatibility: BetterEXP kinda works but their xp bar popup when starting a new day won't show. It's still visible in pause menu and it does play a sound when it's supposed to show up. Not a big deal tbh just something I noticed while testing different mod profiles.

[eternal ivy]

That's not an issue with BEXP. XP popup doesn't show in general.

BEXP is kind of incompatible with Coroner though, with AC explicitly supports. So pick one.

[sonic vale]

also i'm not sure i see any difference in battery drain when i upgrade battery pack on the ship

i have elads hud, and it shows same 5 minutes for pro flashlight with the same drain speed

i upgraded battery pack to level 2

is that perk working at all?

[eternal ivy]

EladsHUD won't show the difference. Same thing with stamina drain.

[sonic vale]

seconds should drain slower when you upgrade, isn't it?

[eternal ivy]

Actually, I don't know if it depends on the mod that changes stats or EladsHUD. Might have to dig in EladsHUD thread.

So I might be wrong.

[sonic vale]

if battery drain is slower then by logic hud seconds should go slower as well

at least i think it is

but they're same 5 minutes, 1:1 seconds

[eternal ivy]

They shouldn't go slower. The time should be a bigger number.

[sonic vale]

ideally yes, but i'm not sure how it's implemented here

[eternal ivy]

It could be an incompatibility or upgrade not working. 🤷‍♂️

[sonic vale]

yeah, that's what i'm talking about

on level2 drain should be noticeably slower

like 15%

but it's not

[eternal ivy]

could test yourself with a timer and regular flashlight

[sonic vale]

yeah

[eternal ivy]

Okay, the upgrade works.

Pro lasted 5:22.5 with one level of battery upgrade.

[wild silo]

umm, it did show up for me when I wasn't using AC. Is it broken on the current update of bxp? Also I've been using Coroner and BetterEXP for quite some time. They overwrite each others notes. A while back Coroner was overwriting BetterEXPs notes which was fine for me but then something changed and BetterEXP started overwriting Coroners notes which made Coroner pointless.

[eternal ivy]

We're in AC thread and as I said it's not an issue with BEXP.

The XP popup doesn't show up with AC on.

[wild silo]

oh i got ya. AC hides the XP popup whether it's BEXP or not is what you're saying.

sorry your first message was clear but I somehow managed to misread it. It's early for me ☕

[eternal ivy]

I do wish Coroner and BetterEXP worked together in unison. But as it stands I find BEXP more useful, even though both mods are technically purely cosmetic.

[wild silo]

yea, I agree. Unfortunately bxp is closed source so it's up to that dev to figure something out i guess. There's an issue about this on his github but no response..

[eternal ivy]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Swaggies/BetterEXP/source/

[rapid hollow]

clients report that upgrading slots for them bugs out until they rejoin

ok nvm two of them are saying that they cant make it work at all

but im playing with morecompany so might be the reason idk

one dude is saying that his hud just randomly got smaller

[rapid hollow]

or maybe its lethal progression (but no one is using the extra hand slots from it so idk, still gonna disable it after this game)

[wild silo]

disable hand slots in LP if you haven't already

[rapid hollow]

so it can just passively break everything?

noted

[eternal ivy]

No need for MC with AC.

Other than cosmetics.

[wild silo]

that would be my guess. I just disabled it alltogether because we have progression in AC and I think it's also less bugged than Lp currently which struggles with saving

[rapid hollow]

yeah thats the reason why im using it lol

[eternal ivy]

This is unrelated though. Plenty people have that issue right now.

[rapid hollow]

yeah, i kept it cause i like the health regen but didnt bother to turn off everything else. must be the case

[wild silo]

I think PotatoPet said if you want to use MC you can try but disable the more player functionality of AC then

[rapid hollow]

yeah i did

works good as far as i can tell

flashlights turn on by themselves when you pick them up from the cabinet

[rapid hollow]

yeah, works now

[bronze iron]

@solid pivot hey do you have a github where I can see how your mod hooks into the terminal? I'd like to clear some minor compatibility issues I've found with my terminal mod and AdvancedCompany

[rapid hollow]

also if someone else experiences buggy suit swapping pls tell me, cant tell if its because of this mod or something else

4th dude joins and everyone's suits just reset and i cant see any of them anymore

[rapid hollow]

4th dude leaves and everything works again

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/936947830348722176.webp?size=48&name=ismokecrack&quality=lossless

[solid pivot]

I left my testing keys in, I think it was h and j XD

Currently no Github @bronze iron Will add that later. For now you can use a decompiler.

[solid pivot]

1.0.10

• Removed debug hotkeys H and J for rescaling the Hotbar
• Fixed the screen observer. The hotbar should now automatically adjust to the screen correctly when the window is resized.

[analog radish]

The hotbar slot issue is still present when you start a new run with the saving disabled

[solid pivot]

Yea, its quite low priority tbh

Its fixable by accessing the terminal

[analog radish]

Oof, ok

[solid pivot]

I will fix it later, I have an idea for it

But the idea needs some work

[analog radish]

I see

[solid pivot]

I could just do the least performant way of checking inventory sizes every frame

Then you are happy but I am not

I want to do it right :D

[analog radish]

Understandable

[solid pivot]

I want to establish a new method where I can put everything into which needs to be done for a new game started

:D

I think the bug is now also fixable by resizing the screen tho

[sonic vale]

by the way i don't think integrated flashlight fix fully working

i had several times when vanilla flashlight bugs appeared

like it was draining but not turned on

so i had to click and click again to turn it on

[solid pivot]

weird

Do you mean ReservedSlots?

[sonic vale]

no, i mean vanilla flashlight

sometimes it acts like it's turned on, but it's not

[eternal ivy]

AC never had fixes for those though?

[solid pivot]

I rewrite the flashlight code entirely :D

[eternal ivy]

At least I don't recall anything other than hotkey and have only one on at the time.

[sonic vale]

i'm pretty sure it's stated somewhere that there's fixes

[solid pivot]

Do you have any other mod doing stuff with flashlights?

[eternal ivy]

Well, none of that is mentioned.

An intelligent flashlight key and rework of how flashlights work:

You can only have one flashlight on at any given time. If you pick up an active flashlight while having one active, the picked up one will automatically be turned off for example.

That's all.

[solid pivot]

Yea, its a rewrite of the flashlight handling :D

[eternal ivy]

I don't think anyone would assume that you rewrote it all just by reading that.

[solid pivot]

"rework of how flashlights work"

👀

[sonic vale]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/ShaosilGaming/FlashlightFix/ that one fixed all issues for me before, i disabled it

"Fixes annoying flashlight bugs like being toggled when it shouldn't be."

that's the bug i'm talking about

[solid pivot]

Sounds like some mod is interferring tbh. I tested my code very intensly

Have you tried to replicate the error with AC only?

[sonic vale]

nope, but i don't see any mods that related to flashlight at all

but who knows

[solid pivot]

Some german speaking folks here who wanna play with me?

Seems like a no

[sonic vale]

unfortunately the only word i know is NEIN

(in the upper case)

[solid pivot]

Thats enough

We just assume Yes if you dont say NEIN

[sonic vale]

[solid pivot]

German speaking because of content production btw. But if nobody is responding in #looking-for-game for the next 10 minutes I might just add whoever wants to play this mod with me :3

[sonic vale]

i actually can't right now, as we are preparing new year feast

[solid pivot]

Just dont get confused when I speak german because of the chat XD

[sonic vale]

but i'll be glad another time i guess

happy new year by the way

just 3 hours and 17 minutes left

yay

(or it depends of timezone)

[solid pivot]

xD

its 5 hours

[sonic vale]

🎆

[solid pivot]

OK, I expand my search to english

So if ANYONE capable of speaking english wants to play with the dev of AdvancedCompany: Go for it :D

Then you can insult me for all da bugs

[worthy geode]

i would be willing to play if it's not recorded, I'm averse to being recorded

[solid pivot]

Only live streamed in case of english if thats OK. No VOD

I wont record it with english :P

No value for my YT channel

But I mean, I can also dont stream it tbh

No value for it either

[worthy geode]

i would prefer that personally

[midnight apex]

I'm fine with being recorded

[solid pivot]

I know that

[midnight apex]

lmfao

[solid pivot]

Watched your stream yesterday. It was the real me

The mighty cthulhu potatoe

[midnight apex]

No you more than watched it

you were the game master

[solid pivot]

You know whats coming

[midnight apex]

You TOOK MY CATS!

[worthy geode]

yoinkies

[solid pivot]

You know the truth

You will now become insane

Your cats are in the black hole

[midnight apex]

I've been shown the way of the spud

Need more players still?

[solid pivot]

[midnight apex]

The power of the potato is strong

[solid pivot]

People be like: huh? Whats up with that black hole

Only special people know

[midnight apex]

lmfao

[solid pivot]

Only hint I give yo

NEVER EVER hit potatoes

[midnight apex]

Yeah I see it and know.

All praise the potato!

[solid pivot]

OK :D We need to add each other on steam tho

[worthy geode]

I'll DM you a friend link

[solid pivot]

Is @midnight apex OK with it being not streamed? Because @worthy geode you dont want to be streamed :D

This is getting complicated now

[lost python]

If you're still looking for people to playtest with, I am currently available for an hour of Lethal

[solid pivot]

Will be funny tho because I host the game in Germany

Lag will be nice :D

[lost python]

It'll be fine 👍

[solid pivot]

200-300ms ping and stuff

[worthy geode]

can't wait to get wormed with 0 time to react
(not like you can react to worms anyway)

[solid pivot]

[lost python]

(You can)

[worthy geode]

i would love to know how

[solid pivot]

Go backwards

[worthy geode]

100 hours and my best guess is "as soon as you hear it start running"

everything else fails

[solid pivot]

Sprint backwards the instant you see the particles

[lost python]

Usually I just try to outrun the thing or run backwards

[worthy geode]

the most i have ever seen particles is 0.5s

[solid pivot]

When you see the particles you entered the circle

Quickest way out is going back exactly where you came from

[worthy geode]

usually i see particles for ~0.25s

[lost python]

I've had a scenario where I sidestepped and I narrowly dodged it

[solid pivot]

Yea, they vary

I think

Sometimes its like 1,5s particles, sometimes just 0,25s XD

[worthy geode]

there is a variance in how long the particles are supposed to be visible

[solid pivot]

0,25s is not really evadeable

[lost python]

and it ate the 2 dogs that was in its range instead of me and the 2 dogs

[worthy geode]

but i have literally not once thought "yeah i could tell it was surfacing here"

[solid pivot]

xD

[worthy geode]

if I see the particles i'm either already dead or already out of the zone

no in between

[solid pivot]

@midnight apex Is streaming a necessity to you?

[lost python]

also i don't mind if you'll be streaming it or not 👍

[solid pivot]

Yea, but @worthy geode cares :D

[lost python]

I'll go with whatever people choose so no sweat for my case

[worthy geode]

i also play with a friend and they agree that worms are just unavoidable outside of just reacting to the initial sound

[midnight apex]

I can go without streaming

[solid pivot]

@lost pythonsend me a friend code

same for you a glitched npc

Should we play with skinwalkers?

[lost python]

What other mods do we add in?

[worthy geode]

i think it's clientside, i'm probably not installing it

[solid pivot]

This is my current mod list

[lost python]

skinwalkers is clientside yeah

[solid pivot]

Yea, its smoll

[midnight apex]

can you just give us your mod list code

[solid pivot]

I am a smoll potato

[midnight apex]

mades it easier

[solid pivot]

Yea, but wanted to ask if you prefer some mods being present

[midnight apex]

got ya

[solid pivot]

018cc124-4b8f-8e4c-c657-24d0b65a6337

This is the code for the mods :)

[midnight apex]

better emotes so I can twerk for ya xD

jk i know it breaks some animations

[solid pivot]

:P

I rely solely on in game voice btw :3

[worthy geode]

i recommend dissonancelagfix

[midnight apex]

good I prefer in game coms

[solid pivot]

Its client side

So yea, I added it to my profile :D

New code with dissonance fix is
018cc126-8374-8258-a8c3-393e21ae19c5

[midnight apex]

lethal things works well with your mod

just shut off their utility belt and rocket launcher

[solid pivot]

Want to test the mod as its intended

Only supplemental stuff

[midnight apex]

ah got ya

makes sense

[solid pivot]

:D

Launching my game now, will send out invites

[worthy geode]

I'll be on in a minute, need to fix up my config and such

[solid pivot]

Really looking forward to having a lobby with over 4 players to test it myself :D

I might observe stuff somtimes

[midnight apex]

So is streaming and recording ok or no?

[worthy geode]

preferably not, i'd prefer not to be recorded/streamed

[midnight apex]

I like recording when testing

Ah gotcha. I was just gonna try to record for testing purposes in case of bugs but I won't

[worthy geode]

thank you!

@solid pivot it says you're on version 1.0.6?

[solid pivot]

oops

Had my local mod installed xD

018cc12c-d37f-a84a-427d-bfd527517e02

hahahaha

[analog radish]

I don't think it's from another mod because none of them modify the screen at the end of the game.
But it seems that the Due Screen and the experience screen are not showing when returning to orbit

[lost python]

oh did you start the game @solid pivot

oh wait i forgot, you have to rehost

i am too used to latecompany

[solid pivot]

I will rehost now xD

[lost python]

alright!

[solid pivot]

Reopened :D

[vocal quartz]

I've been enjoying using this mod a lot and I'll be introducing it to my friends when I get the chance! I'm glad that there is much more incentive to take risks not just for meeting quota, but also for team and player progression.

I'm not sure what other plans you'll have for player perks, but I had two ideas in mind:
"Fast Hands": Increases interaction speed (doors, ship lever, etc)
"Sturdy Body": If over x health, x% chance to survive an attack with 1 health (for sandworms and dogs, maybe brackens)

Of course you don't have to implement them as I'm very happy with the mod as is! They were just passing thoughts.

Thanks for developing this mod, I'm really looking forward to future updates!

[solid pivot]

Nice ideas

Looking for players btw

[fair delta]

need people for testing?

[solid pivot]

Sure, but we are streaming

[fair delta]

np

i can join

[meager cradle]

I'm just not quite sure what's exactly causing the shop to freak out like that
Cause starting the run as-is and purchasing stuff with LethalExpansion is fine, just when you're quit out and reload is where the problem occurs

I'm in a multiplayer setting and it appears as well when I've disconnected and reconnected, thankfully my host doesn't have the same disconnect issues as me so he can still buy stuff

[solid pivot]

Thanks for participating in the test :)*

[warm spruce]

using AC and after death were stuck looking at the ship door anyone know why?

[solid pivot]

LateCompany?

[eternal ivy]

AC does not change fall damage, right?

[plush fern]

If you have the player perk that gives you resistance to fall demage than kinda

[eternal ivy]

Didn't mean the perk.

Base fall damage is a joke, so I'm just wondering if AC addresses that or if I should just keep using something like BetterFallDamage.

[plush fern]

Ah I misnuderstood the first time. To answer simply no. Nothing in this mod makes fall damage harder

[solid pivot]

Doesnt change anything on base fall damage

[worthy geode]

@solid pivot just found a bug by sheer accident; pressing F while in chat to type a message causes the flashlight keybind to trigger as well
very minor but still

[bronze iron]

alright, i'll keep an eye out if you do end up posting to github. The issue is pretty minor and I probably wont look into it for a few days

[solid pivot]

So depending on the success of my mod and the hype of the game I will decide when I invest more time into my own game For now I will continue my work on the mod.

And no, my own game isnt a Lethal Company like

would be funny tho

But I feel bad copying stuff

My own game is basically a farming RPG life sim game with souls elements seen in games like Deaths Door and Eldest Souls

Set in a post apocalyptic world

Rebuilding the world vibes and stuff

But hey, maybe I should make AdvancedCompany into an own game

I mean the philosophy of AdvancedCompany is quite different from the vanilla game

Quite literally the "advancing" part

But for now I will keep working on the mod until I hit an extremly hard brick wall which will either lead to me to abandon Lethal Company modding and concentrating on my own game or creating a clone

And just to be clear why I have those thoughts: The game code is horrible in parts

And very rarely is good

Creating a new foundation to build upon seems like a logical step

With modability in mind

But well, clone probably wont happen anyway :P

With the clone stuff, you have to see that from my perspective. FIxing that horrible hotbar took me way too long. I wouldnt even have made it like that in the first place.

So: Fixing Lethal Companys Hotbar to be somewhat decent: 20hrs, creating a nice hotbar: 1hr

I would love to hear your thought about that tho. I mean it wouldnt be the first mod to become a standalone game.

And you know my plans

Star systems, Ship Tiers, A lot of moons, far space travel etc.

Invoking more fear of the unknown, going to places nobody went before

Like Potatoes bedroom

Where I will go now.

(btw, if going standalone the betas would be free anyway. Dunno if I would ever sell the standalone game. Would have to decide that at some point)

[worthy geode]

how much XP do you need to max out the ship's perks?

[eternal ivy]

Do whatever makes you feel better.

[solid pivot]

dunno :D You can calculate it yourself

Its a hard choice tbh

The foundation of Lethal Company is very fragile

On the other hand copying an idea feels wrong. So I would have to make it different somehow :3

Basically all games were copies, I know that

[eternal ivy]

I think it's the only choice when we're speaking about something that will be free.

[solid pivot]

Second game was a copy of the first game, third game of the second etc.

[eternal ivy]

Who the hell knows. Maybe you'll be part of the team one day. Or not.

[sharp pollen]

Official mod support I think? I heard the game codebase is pretty meh

[worthy geode]

$36,400 it looks like

[solid pivot]

@sharp pollen Thats something I would like to make better in my own standalone project :D

Building a strong foundation and stuff

I have 17 years of professional programming experience, 7 of them as a professional game developer. Working on this mod showed me that I am actually able to rig characters and make them wear clothes etc.

Something I never truly understood how to do in blender :D

I never had to when I worked on games tbh

I had other people do it for me xD

But with this mod I finally gained the experience to do stuff like that

Rigging wasnt a problem per se (and the rig of the character is horrible in this game)

But making clothes wearable was always something I didnt quite understood the pipeline of

Now I know that you can easily copy weights by raycasting one model to another :D

And then do detail work maybe

Of course I knew that there must be stuff like that available, but now I know where to find it and how to use it

And hey, my 3D moddeling skills improved even while creating this mod

The lightning rod was my first 3d model. The bulletproof vest, nightvision goggles and flippers my last

I will sleep over that idea and think about it the next days. I will however still maintain the mod even if I decide to go standalone in the long run.

At least until I release my standalone version

And I will add new stuff too :D So dont worry

Might even just copy 3d models from my standalone project to lethal company

[sharp pollen]

The game cel shading and low res does make it fine to use low poly model

[solid pivot]

Thats true, was thinking about going for the same look. Dunno tho

Or at least similar

And I really wanted to release a game sometime in my life and also release the source code to the public :D

I feel that this should be done way more often

You can still copyright the code, dont have to go open source like MIT/GPL etc.

But this helps modders a lot

Getting the hand on the original source code

[eternal ivy]

Just never make your game Vert-, and anchor UI to a specific aspect ratio if you don't want to bother making it dynamically adjust.

[solid pivot]

Nah nah

I know how to do UI :D

Funny thing is, the game uses multiple scaling layers....

Thats why the HUD is so damn broken

(when not doing 16:9)

I mean 98% of the people have 16:9 anyways

[eternal ivy]

Thankfully LCUltrawide fixed HUD quite well.

[solid pivot]

But some do have 21:9 and 16:10

I think also 21:10 exists

[sharp pollen]

yeah rimworld dev even directly provide the asset to modder in the old day

[solid pivot]

And tbh: I dont like the direction the game took with v45

I dont like the nutcrackers

:'D

But well thats a personal thing

The mimics are great tho

And when doing an own project I could incoporate AI to actually understand what people are saying and using voice clips which help the mimic to lure you in :P

Like: "Help! Help! Come here!"

:'>

I mean it wouldnt be perfect because AI isnt perfect

And I cant let it run for hours and stuff. It would have to this real time

So not as precise

But let an AI look for typical sentences of distress or guiding sentences in different languages

[sharp pollen]

yeah and I don't even sure if synthesized ai voice is even legal by that time.

[solid pivot]

Nana, its the original voice clips :D

Basically the AI would listen to what you say and create a speech-to-text

Then find out what you said and if its useful for it to lure players

If the sentence was distressful like "OMG; come here, please help!"

And if it was, it cuts that audio clip

and uses it to lure players :P

but tbh. Dunno if that would work as speech-to-text is....

I mean it works if you let an AI parse it

like 5s clip and let it parse for 15s

But real time is not as accurate

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZVXklCA1Us

I mean, there are Unity projects doing it :3

Sadly this uses OpenAI API. I would have to add trained models

Would love it to run locally

https://github.com/Macoron/whisper.unity

Oh there it is

OpenAI Whisper is running locally

and supports 60 languages

And I can translate all languages to english to determine the content and search for keywords :)

Like Help!

Come here!

Follow me!

I will test this tomorrow xD

[worthy geode]

my friend and I finished our one run challenge! We got all player perks in one run, starting from scratch (all default values- nothing tweaked in our favor). We didn't get all ship perks, as that requires a good chunk of change more than we have, but the run is still alive. We hit the last quota and if we can make 8k in 4 days we will have successfully one-runned all ship perks too. I don't think we can, but we'll figure out another day.

[solid pivot]

Congratulations! :D

You finished the demo of my upcoming standalone game just kidding

Oh btw

the fireworks

I had a so much better effect for it

but it didnt run in the game

Thats stuff I can do with a standalone project

Because, you know it

If I go standalone with AdvancedCompany

there will be the missile launcher, flippers, rocket boots, lightning rod etc.

Fun fact: Did you know the rockets of the missile launcher only need 1 network message?

They are deterministic

Same input values in creates the same curve out

And 1 message for "hit something" from the server

And I do create two curves :D One curve I want the rocket to follow and then I simulate a rocket flight with fake physics trying to follow that path

And thats the path the rocket will take

Which actually makes it look so nice :P

The path looks funny :D

It tends to go to the left more often tho

[worthy geode]

neat!

i've done a lot of gamedev and modding but networking is something I've rarely touched

[solid pivot]

It is and its the way all games should handle ballistic projectiles 👀

[worthy geode]

I think the most networking experience I have is with a minecraft mod I made where i was exposed to how minecraft does networking

[solid pivot]

You can still do update messages when something happens

I transmit basically a couple of parameters

rocket start position, rocket start rotation, turbulence (random generated) and some other random variables and the time it was shot at

relative to server time

That way the rocket is nearly perfectly synchronized on all clients

lag compensation ^^

Something even big AAA studios fail at 👀

Looking at you Sea of Thieves

tbf, hit registration is a total other chapter

But so far the responses are mainly positive regarding a standalone project

But I need to think about a new premise

cant just do be a great asset for the company premise :D

[worthy geode]

i think you'd be good at it but yeah you'd have quite a lot of work cut out for you

[solid pivot]

Thats would not be a clone but a copycat

[worthy geode]

do you see combat as being central to your vision?

I think that's something that LC incidentally added but was never meant to be the focus

[solid pivot]

When progressing further there might be more combat, yea

Zombie infested planets

with hordes of zombies

Basically outdoor planets

But well

I dont have to restrict myself to outdoor / indoor etc anymore

when doing an own thing

But also I can do a dungeon generator which doesnt generate a main room

with 6 ways to go

5 of them only being 2 rooms

and one being like 500 rooms

And I can add flooded areas

[worthy geode]

maybe like, "outdoor" in the sense that there's no load into a separate world, but still potentially complex interiors on that map?

like a normal open world-ish game

[solid pivot]

Yea, like a village and stuff

With 30 houses with 2 stories

And multiple rooms

Wouldnt be a traditional village so to speak but of course something fitting for an abandoned space colony.

So space houses xD

[worthy geode]

🤔 0 gravity environments?

[solid pivot]

Could even random generate them.

Yes

[worthy geode]

6dof movement could be really cool and extremely disorienting

[solid pivot]

I really want to do that

asteroid field map

with 0,05g gravity

Or even like super mario galaxy does gravity

Jumping from big rock to big rock and they pull on you

[worthy geode]

hardspace shipbreaker style space grapple hook 👀

[solid pivot]

I have so many ideas :D

And I think this will be too big for a mod of a game

[worthy geode]

could do a lot of cool stuff

[solid pivot]

And yea, implementing all my ideas might take 3 years

[worthy geode]

i would admittedly be sad to see advcomp no longer receive updates

[solid pivot]

but then we at least have regular updates :D

AdvCompany will see some more updates

And I will try to maintain functionality with game updates

And when I add awesome equipment stuff into my own game I might copy it over to AdvancedCompany if its possible :3

But yea, Lethal Company Modding created a lust in me to create a game :D

[worthy geode]

i think the modder to standalone gamedev pipeline is near unstoppable

[solid pivot]

Yea :<

I did it in reverse basaically

[worthy geode]

though i sorta got into it in reverse, gamedev then some modding (which just fed back into gamedev)

[solid pivot]

Game Dev => Modder

[worthy geode]

lol

[solid pivot]

and now Modder => Game Dev

[worthy geode]

i haven't done a ton of modding anyway

almost got quite deep into risk of rain 2 but they dropped an update that broke everything while i was trying to figure things out so i dropped it

and my modder friend dropped it at the same time

but I did learn quite a bit about how unity modding works

[solid pivot]

And do you know what my game will actually use?

NAMESPACES

[worthy geode]

:0

impossible

[solid pivot]

They are there for a REASON

To organize code, dear devs

My mod also uses namepsaces

[worthy geode]

being able to pop open a decompiler to read the game's source has been so useful for understanding random ways it works

with the exception that worm AI confuses the everloving hell out of me

[solid pivot]

I can read MSIL

I mean literally

I can read it

[worthy geode]

same

prefer decompiled when trying to understand what a system is doing though

CIL is a bit verbose

[solid pivot]

Which is why 32 player lobby is mostly transpiler :D

[worthy geode]

transpiler patches feel like dark magic

[solid pivot]

Yea, bit like voodoo magic

Look at my Sun Haven Translator

that stuff does real vodoo magic

It actually follows coroutines etc. up to find out the context of a text line being said

to find out who said it to whom XD

To give translators more context

And thats all done with Mono.Cecil

no Harmony, no BepInEx

Good 'ol Mono.Cecil

I mean, I created the ModAPI for The Forest back in the time

when BepInEx wasnt even a thing

Its basically what BepInEx calls Prepatchers

But back in 2014

[worthy geode]

ugh i looked at mono.cecil once

the lack of docs is so bad 😭

[solid pivot]

Its nice but oldish

It lacks some like convenience features

[worthy geode]

i like dnlib for codegen related stuff

[solid pivot]

but there is Mono.Cecil.Rocks

[worthy geode]

harmonyX for patching stuff

[solid pivot]

which helps a bit

Mono.Cecil is basically an abandoned package

for like a decade now

There was an update 7 months ago

[worthy geode]

lmao

dnlib was archived for a bit

unarchived randomly

[solid pivot]

Before that 2 years ago

[worthy geode]

still alive since i last checked

[solid pivot]

I mean they fix some bugs

but Mono.Cecil, to its credit, is working fine

No need to redo stuff etc.

It is what it is and it is capable of what it advertises

Only concentrating on bugs at that point is reasonable

[worthy geode]

yeah

it's "done"

[solid pivot]

yea :D

Its a complete package

Even tho using it might be a bit complicated :3

[worthy geode]

im in a weird spot bc my favorite language/engine is rust and bevy

[solid pivot]

I mean, most if not all decompilers rely on Mono.Cecil

[worthy geode]

but bevy's not... quite usable for all projects yet

really not usable for most yet I think

so what better way to spend my time than inventing a new programming language so I can write a new game engine in it :)

[solid pivot]

xD

[worthy geode]

then i can finally Make A Game :)

[solid pivot]

Nah, I dont see the fun in creating an own language

because I have the perfect language

Its called C#

[worthy geode]

i have major issues with C#

it's my 2nd favorite lang

[solid pivot]

Which ones?

[meager cradle]

Our run went pretty well, Lightning Rod & Night Vision Goggles came in crutch for the Kast map

[solid pivot]

[meager cradle]

Lightning Rod especially since all of the modded maps seem to have a fucking problem with lightning striking indoors

[solid pivot]

lol

Also something I wouldnt have to deal with in a standalone game

[worthy geode]

• no algebraic data types (rust enums)
• weird limitations like no generic pointers
• have to drop to really low level to get native-level performance which the language kinda resists
• the RAII-like constructs (IDisposable) are verbose and error prone (although they've done a very good job at improving it)
• Interfaces are vastly less powerful than traits (because traits can be implemented onto a type you don't own- interfaces can't)
• No constant generics whatsoever
  i can probably keep going for a while

[solid pivot]

have to drop to really low level to get native-level performance which the language kinda resists
Just use unsafe and pointers?

[meager cradle]

ngl Night Vision Goggles would actually let me consider going to March when Foggy

[worthy geode]

yes, unsafe and pointers are annoying, error prone, and difficult

[solid pivot]

Thats the point of the goggles :D

[meager cradle]

Like it was VERY helpful for Foggy Kast

[solid pivot]

They are error prone in C too tho :P

[worthy geode]

rust gets the same or better performance without any unsafe

[solid pivot]

C# is very fast

Not just in unity

[worthy geode]

C# is great

[solid pivot]

Because they use very old C# :3

[worthy geode]

the performance is good

[solid pivot]

its stellar

[worthy geode]

but it's suboptimal

[solid pivot]

We have a webshop for a wholesaler running with it

[worthy geode]

unless you do excessive funky unsafe stuff

[solid pivot]

Theres going millions of € per month over it

On a single server

With response times of <10ms

[worthy geode]

and even assuming C# just magically matched the performance of rust without funky unsafe tricks, there's still the other complaints

which are many CLR issues, not just C#

[solid pivot]

.net 8 is blazing fast :D

Unity is still using .NET 4.5 basically. They do support netsandard

And plan to add .NET 5 I think?

or did they upgrade to .NET 6?

[worthy geode]

im aware that unity is on oooold C#

[solid pivot]

.NET 9 will come soon

[worthy geode]

and therefore much slower

[solid pivot]

xD

[worthy geode]

im worried about core C# though

C# does OOP and garbage collection which just can't beat what rust's paradigm is... data oriented ig

[solid pivot]

Interfaces are vastly less powerful than traits (because traits can be implemented onto a type you don't own- interfaces can't)

Yea, thats a paradigm C# doesnt support YET

[worthy geode]

where frees are determined at compile time at no runtime cost and cache locality is much better

[solid pivot]

I am sure they can implement it tho

[worthy geode]

i think they need to change the CLR to implement

[solid pivot]

And that they will

[worthy geode]

I've tried to implement it theoretically in my own CLR lang and couldn't make it work

[solid pivot]

They implement a lot of stuff of other popular languages :D

[worthy geode]

the way the data is structured just... doesn't work

[solid pivot]

To make it easier to switch to C#

[worthy geode]

honestly if they just made the CLR have the features I want I'd just write a language targeting it and say job done

[solid pivot]

They might update the CLR at one point

its quite old already

[worthy geode]

boom instant C# compatibility all the features I want ez pz

yeah maybe

one day

[solid pivot]

But they were able to do a lot of stuff with it

So it was very cleverly designed

And pretty future proof from back then

[worthy geode]

if they don't add proper unions there's no point for me to pay attention though

currently you have to do some heinous hacks to get unions to work

and they break on generics

and can't store managed types iirc?

hell i don't strictly need unions just ADTs

ADTs would actually probably be easier to implement directly even though they can be implemented on top of unions

since they can use the ADT's discriminant to tell the GC what's what

not the same for unions

[solid pivot]

But union types are an ongoing discussion in the dotnet repository

https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions/399

[worthy geode]

I'd definitely be interested if they merged those

[solid pivot]

And you do have pattern matching btw

[worthy geode]

but my hopes are not high to say the least

[worthy geode]

yeah i've pushed this to its limit

tried to make option/result types myself

but they just don't work without proper unions

[solid pivot]

Pattern matching being a real neat new feature in C#

Long overdue but well

its there now :D

[worthy geode]

but as long as they add CLR support

I'm unlikely to use C# anyway

I'll just make my own lang that does what I want and compiles to CIL

C# just can't break backwards compatibility and be as nice as a modern lang, although they get very close

[solid pivot]

oh there is even a more recent discussion

https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions/7010

And from reading in it a bit it seems like there is an interest

[alpine charm]

Happy new year all

[plush fern]

https://tenor.com/view/merry-new-year-eddiemurphy-trading-places-laughing-gif-19798570

[meager cradle]

When I forgot Lightning Rod is an option

[analog radish]

The flashlight desync thing does happen.
When my partner has the flashlight off, I see it on.
I don't have a mod that affects the flashlight besides this one.

[lost python]

@solid pivot okay so i am confused about the reservedslots thing since according to the thunderstore page, it is fully integrated with the mod.

[nova ingot]

Compatible*

You can use it along side the mod with no issues

[lost python]

yeah but when i tested it earlier when i joined them, all the slots clumped to one singular slot

basically visual bugged

[nova ingot]

That might be another mod or are you using a third party slot mod like boombox? It works fine with me, both mods up to date

[lost python]

nah i just had reservedflashlight and reservedwalkie

[signal glade]

Has anyone here already suggested being able to put the Jetpack in the new Body Slot?

[lost python]

Okay so an update to this, it seems to be working now which is good

[alpine charm]

i want to ask, does Late company still have issue with this mod?

[alpine charm]

@solid pivot could you add like an Autocomplete in the terminal? or is it gonna come with LethalVista?

[alpine charm]

on 1-1-2024, LethalEx still broken when you rejoin the game and type the items from Advance company

[solid pivot]

I would need a log from when this happens

And happy new year btw

[eternal ivy]

Are you supposed to be able to carry two handed scrap when all your slots are occupied, or is it a conflict with resreved slots?

[solid pivot]

Probably conflict with ReservedSlots

I will see what I can do later

And I do have a great idea for the standalone game :)

The premise is basically done and I really really like it

[wild silo]

do you know if a specific setting causes it or just having LE installed with all default? because in that case i'd rather try sth like lethal utilities to modify timescale or dunGen settings

[bleak frigate]

wym?

im using lethal extension and it works fine with advanced company

[alpine charm]

@bleak frigate @wild silo for some reason its the same bug i had, when i rejoin A lobby the items from this mods would not detected "this item is incompatible" but restarting the game would always fixed it

and, no I put all Lethal Ex settings on default, bcs i use it as depedencies

[bleak frigate]

do u use lethal ex just for the moons

[alpine charm]

moons, items yeah

[rapid hollow]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/jockie/LethalExpansionCore/

you can use this, might help

[bleak frigate]

yeah

[alpine charm]

still doesnt work

[bleak frigate]

i was gonna say that

[alpine charm]

already tried it lol

[bleak frigate]

u sure its lethal ex causing it

u tried it without it and it worked fine?

[rapid hollow]

probably lethal ex is to blame then, it really is hardly compatible with anything

[alpine charm]

yea, cuz someone in this discussion tried 1/1 with all mods

and when letal Ex turned off the problems gone

[bleak frigate]

weird cause like i said i have no issue with lethal extension

my friends and i can order stuff with no issue

and i have like 80+ mods

[bleak frigate]

lethalextensioncore is supposed to remove/disable everything in lethal ex and only keeping the custom moon feature

[alpine charm]

huh

[bleak frigate]

feel like its some mod unhappy with LE

[rapid hollow]

yeah, but it still causes conflicts with mods

like scpdungeon stops generating fire exits with it

[bleak frigate]

idk den

[alpine charm]

@bleak frigate

this guy who found that Lethal Ex caused it

[bleak frigate]

yall encounter a bug where u cant interact with anything

seems random when it happens

[alpine charm]

yea

[solid pivot]

👀

[bleak frigate]

know how to fix it?

[bleak frigate]

this a ingame menu?

nice

[fair delta]

bro never misses

any chance for the ability to save setting presets and naming them for easily switching between different groups of options

maybe the ability to import someone elses settings with a code :3

[alpine charm]

still don't know, but temporarily fix is just restart the game

[bleak frigate]

ight

[eternal ivy]

Not very useful for MP considering you'd ideally want all configs to match, to avoid issues.

[fair delta]

host to client config syncing

[meager cradle]

Yeah unfortunately the only fix to the shop bug rn for that issue is to outright restart the game

[solid pivot]

It already does

Host is syncing its config to all clients

Host is the master of the lobby

And its rules

[midnight apex]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[solid pivot]

?

Thats already like that

like from day 1

Thats why there is a config folder for Server

and one for Client
