[Deprecated] Advanced Company

[solid pivot]

Probably also depends on the filesystem used

[wraith totem]

Either way it’s basically just: Add BepInDependency if you need it to load after something specific, otherwise it’s not dependant on another mod

If you need it to run before another mod, well there’s patchers, or like you said, harmony

[solid pivot]

Yea, I need to load before another mod to remove all functionality of that mod because it itself is a dependency for cosmetics I can load too now. But having that mod alongside mine will break the game.

I use a patcher and misuse it

I add AssemblyLoad listener to the current domain and patch the assembly of the mod

as soon as its loaded by BepInEx

So a hacky but working approach

I mean. Modding after all is often hacky

[wraith totem]

So why does the mod need to be installed at all?

Just for the cosmetic files?

[sonic vale]

yes, mod manager won't let you install mods without it's dependencies

[solid pivot]

Cosmetics have MoreCompany as a dependency

[sonic vale]

and won't let you remove required mods either

[solid pivot]

You could go into your profile and remove the dll manually

[wraith totem]

That’s intentional

[solid pivot]

Or wait for all cosmetic mods to adapt to AdvancedCompany being also able to load the same files

[wraith totem]

So why are cosmetics dependant on MoreCompany? 🤔

[solid pivot]

Its basically a solution for the time from now to when cosmetics mods might remove dependencies. There isnt a dependency like: This OR that, right? :P

[wraith totem]

and why can’t we have a spin-off library exclusively for cosmetics

[solid pivot]

Because MoreCompany initially added cosmetics and I added the functionality to reparse them to work with my mod.

[wraith totem]

Rip

[solid pivot]

Because people constantly asked me to add cosmetics :D

Then I was like: I can add my own cosmetics system

Then they are like: But what about my favorite cosmetics?

Then I followed the wishes of the people :3

[wraith totem]

I guess patcher is the way to go, although I’d probably just release your loader separately

Then people can make new skins that depend on the one thing rather than relying on another alternative of a mod, because then we end up in the same situation

Other skins can slowly phase out to depend on the singular loader

[solid pivot]

Only way to get the MoreCompany integrated cosmetics (which people also asked for) is to remove the Awake of MoreCompany with the prepatcher :D

Thats another level to the problem

[wraith totem]

Oh yeah but having the loader separate can still do that

Just means you have it as a separate thing that’s not bundled with advanced company

[solid pivot]

Have to think about that tbh. I cant make my mod only incompatible with MoreCompany when the prepatcher isnt present

Because if MoreCompany is present

my mod wont work

At all

[wraith totem]

AC can still depend on it though

which implicitly gets the MC disabling

Alternatively release another separate package to disable MC as well 👀

It’s kind of the point of dependencies lmao

[solid pivot]

I can make it AdvancedCompany.DisableMoreCompany and let AdvancedCompany depend on it. But I dont really see the point in using AdvancedCompany.DisableMoreCompany without also using AdvancedCompany :D

[wraith totem]

Just release it under a different team

EG:
AdvancedCompany-AdvancedCompany
PotatoePet-CosmeticsLoader
PotatoePet-NoMoreCompany

Three separate packages, all doing different things

But AC can depend on the last two

[solid pivot]

requires a lot of work to separate the cosmetics loader from AdvancedCompany as it uses the communication library and player abstraction stuff from AdvancedCompany. And the same AssetBundle and ClientConfig window.

Would have to make the ClientConfig window modular

And extendable

Probably adding 1-2 weeks of work to it :<

[wraith totem]

But think how much nicer it would be for users 👀

It’s your choice obviously though

Just my take

[solid pivot]

Investing that much work for a mod of a game I will abandon anyway to go standalone

I did plan to modularize the mod more later tho

At least initially. Dunno if I will invest that much time tho.

(standalone as in: Creating my own game)

[solid pivot]

so

basically

else if (Instance.gameHasStarted)
{
response.Reason = "Game has already started!";
flag = false;
}

Just removing this would make it possible to join whenever you want

and preventing LeaveCurrentSteamLobby() to be called

[rose token]

aight yeah the mod is breaking down for us, we are like 12 people playing and i think its not handling it well

we get people randomly unable to hear eachother, we get random people who stop being able to look around, mouselooked and stuff

i would send you the log but diversity is flooding my logs with haunted = false loging

[sonic vale]

eh, we just lost our quota

but everything remained

suits, teleports

slots

something bugged

[bleak frigate]

if this set to true, u'll keep all ur perks

[sonic vale]

save = false, suits = false

[bleak frigate]

got a modlist?

[sonic vale]

018cdbdc-66f2-4640-41df-cc2a2e6ebf99

[bleak frigate]

corporate restructure is the problem

[sonic vale]

ohhh

[bleak frigate]

i died and my slots were still there

and i removed it tried again its gone

could be another mod tho

imma continue checkin

[solid pivot]

You could just search and replace that stuff and send the cleared log

But I need the logs of bugged client and the host

[sonic vale]

by the way about restart bug

all teleports was still in the ship, but they were non-interactable

buttons was unavailible and we was unable to move them

and there was no errors in console it seems

[solid pivot]

Cant really confirm, we played with 124 mods and it worked for us with 7 players

I mean at that point I am pretty certain that my mod is very very stable

Like extremely stable

Problems with 12 players might come from low bandwidth, high pings etc.

I will try to add a handshake screen which puts the handshake into the main menu

[rose token]

hmm yeah ill send you the logs as i kinda cleared some diversity log stuff out of there. so its now only 300k long instead of 660k long.

[bleak frigate]

have u played with XP reset on

[eternal ivy]

I played with 5 people with progress saving set to false today without issues.

[rose token]

(READTHIS) <--- added this for a part where i think it crashed for us, but there is no timestamp so i don't know.

sadly i was not hosting so i don't know if maybe some logs are more usefull than others, but i have to get him to send me the logs and ill clear out the haunted stuff as well cause it chunky.

but we had multiple crashes, and issues where peoples names suddenly were player7 and player8, or we could not hear eachother between specific people. or names dissapearing, i even became invisible to two of them for a while.

[bleak frigate]

the restart bug is sort of real after numerous testing @solid pivot

well tbh the 4th slot is a visual bug, fixes once u go to the terminal but still

[rose token]

ill try and gather some and send you a zipfile with them when i get em.

[eternal ivy]

The flashlight toggling on or off when being placed in the ship cupboard (and certain other "E" interactions.)
This still happens in AC.

[rose token]

yeah we used that to get infinite flashlight for people.
just flashed it on and off a few times then placed it in the locker with the interact, and then someone else picked it up and it was on for the first person forever.

[eternal ivy]

This makes FlashlightFix still useful with AC. Just make sure to set OnlyOneLight to false in FlashlightFix config.

[bleak frigate]

@sonic vale you might just wanna delete ur save everytime u lose

[sonic vale]

yes, that's what we did

[solid pivot]

I now put the Server config sync into the networking library btw

This will enable me to only spawn the needed player objects :)

If you set the lobby size to 8 only 8 player objects will be instantiated and the 8 player mixer will be used

This is huge news btw

Will probably make many things work better with other mods, hopefully

And even better, the performance impact of AdvancedCompany will be even less for lobbys < 32 again

I will also remove the original 4 player mixer for player voices. Instead I will work with 2 mixers. The original + my new one. My new one will only handle voices and is attached to the original one, so master volume will still work.

But this also means that you will always have 4 channels not doing anything sadly

But this should fix all SFX errors

Pretty sure all sfx problems should be fixed :3

I will also add a lot more logging

Also to be more clear what my mod does it will say so now

Patching QuickMenuManager->AddUserToPlayerList...
Found ble; ldc.i4.4 at IL_0021. Replacing with call LobbyPatches->GetLobbySize(); sub; ldc.i4.1
Patched QuickMenuManager->AddUserToPlayerList!

And some errors will instantly lead to a disconnect

[solid pivot]

I will also rework the whole player lobby syncing stuff to make it more robust

[orchid vale]

cant buy items from the mod

[solid pivot]

Remove incompatible mods or try "buy boots" "buy lightning" etc.

[orchid vale]

idk whats incompatable

[solid pivot]

Most likely LethalExpansion

[orchid vale]

oh dam

any plans on a fix for that soon

[solid pivot]

Why should I be the one to fix it tho?

[orchid vale]

oh sry

[solid pivot]

I add my items regularly to the console

But I will later see what I can do. I am working on other stuff rn

[orchid vale]

nice

[solid pivot]

this is very weird

Seems like the messsage is non fragmented somehow

Funny tho bc it should be fragmented

        SendMessage(ref message, NetworkDelivery.ReliableFragmentedSequenced, ownerClientId);

[bleak frigate]

use LE core to fix it

[orchid vale]

i dunno if to trust

[solid pivot]

Nothing indicates why it isnt working :< Will have to look over it tomorrow

[alpine charm]

not it's does'nt work

already tried

[solid pivot]

OK, it was because I used WriteValue instead of WriteValueSafe

oof

[bleak frigate]

it worked fine for me

[ionic garnet]

How does extending

Work?

Extending duration work

Like do we do it before next quata

Or after next quota

@solid pivot

[solid pivot]

tyoe extend in terminal

[ionic garnet]

Do you have to do it when

B.c we did it after selling

On third day

It didnt work

[solid pivot]

did you meet quota?

[ionic garnet]

Nope

[solid pivot]

Should do it when on the ground probably then. Never tested it at 0 days when landed

But shouldve worked when in ship at 0 days and then landing

[ionic garnet]

@solid pivot does strong arm affect shotgun?

[naive talon]

Haven't been playing lethal in a bit.

only just got the mod.

turned it on instead of mikestweaks. don't have a sprint regen setting. AaAaAaAAAaaAAaaAaah.

Atleast Lethal utilities has a sprint speed and the time scaling settings. :V

Also, walkie talk without holding hotkey? :V

alternatively an upgrade for said sprint regen. since thats your thing. call it "cardio" or something.

[sonic vale]

@solid pivot please check restart code if you can, seems like suits and teleports saved on restart for some reason, even with save xp and save suits = false in config

is there some cheat commands so i can test it without other mods?

[stiff galleon]

Have you tried only enable advanced company?

Maybe it's not advanced company's problem or maybe this mod conflict with others

[sonic vale]

that's what i'm talking about, yeah, i need cheats to test it

at least there was no errors in console

[stiff galleon]

You want a cheat like what?

[sonic vale]

to set credits and possibly trigger losing conditions early

[stiff galleon]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Solar32/MoneyMenu/

@sonic vale I think this is what you need?

[sonic vale]

i'll try it now, thanks

[stiff galleon]

Np

[sonic vale]

how to use that menu? i don't see any button or info about it

yep, completely vanilla bug @solid pivot

[stiff galleon]

Vanilla or mod?

[sonic vale]

vanilla advanced company i mean

no other mods

[stiff galleon]

Hmm I will try it later

Never seen this problem

[sonic vale]

https://i.imgur.com/0z7FuiR.png

https://i.imgur.com/iTt8Dne.png

https://i.imgur.com/8RdrMz6.png

as you can see - everything is there

but teleports and items are broken

non interactable, cannot even move, can't push buttons too

[stiff galleon]

@sonic vale Have you tried new save

cause I don't have this problem for me

[sonic vale]

did you disable save suits and save progress?

yes, totally new save

no other mods

only mod for money

[stiff galleon]

hmm save suit is true

give me a second

Ah yes

It's the save suit problem

After I turn save suit off it's happened for me

Definitely a bug.

Waiting for PotatoePet. I believe that he could resolve this problem.

[nova ingot]

Let the bro sleep 💀

[wild silo]

when you say sfx errors.. you mean like cut off sounds, crackling/clipping and stuff? because I always assumed that's with the vanilla game

[wide sundial]

Just played this mod (thanks for adding proper coroner support) and i was wondering what perks don’t work? Things like jump endurance don’t seem to work (or if they do the difference is negligible)

[solid pivot]

SFX errors as in hearing players when you are not supposed to, having some effects like reverb not active in certain situation setc.

I am not sure if any of those are coming from my mod tho

But its basically impossible that they come from my mod now

[stiff galleon]

@solid pivot Did you know this bug?

[solid pivot]

Cant really fix it specifically as I have changed so much stuff rn that I dont even know if its still present tbh

[stiff galleon]

That's ok after new update release if the problem still happened I will let you know

[solid pivot]

Next version will save server progress with steam ids

And save will be shared during the handshake

[unkempt gust]

is there support for like upgrades and shit for moreplayers?

[solid pivot]

moreplayers?

[unkempt gust]

ye

like as the 5th player will they get any perks if i buy some?

[solid pivot]

Why should they? Every player has their own XP

[unkempt gust]

oh

didnt know that

[solid pivot]

Only XP which is shared is Ship XP

[unkempt gust]

yeah wb that

[solid pivot]

And Ship perks are shared as well

[unkempt gust]

okay cool

[solid pivot]

I will add more perks later

Way more perks

👀

[unkempt gust]

thats been the only reason why i havent used the mod yet cuz i didnt know if it was compatible

[solid pivot]

Compatible with what?

[unkempt gust]

the morecompany mod

[solid pivot]

MoreCompany? 100% incompatible. My mod is killing it basically

When my mod sees it

it kills it

[unkempt gust]

why

bruh

[solid pivot]

Because its 100% incompatible

[unkempt gust]

then why are u adding support for the cosmetics?

[solid pivot]

I replace all mechanics of MoreCompany with better versions

Because people asked me to so they wont miss MoreCompany?

[unkempt gust]

oh

[solid pivot]

AdvancedCompany is a replacement mod for MoreCompany

[unkempt gust]

but without the core feature

???

[solid pivot]

Which one?

[unkempt gust]

more players

[solid pivot]

I answer this with a screenshot

[unkempt gust]

oh

[unkempt gust]

lmao

[solid pivot]

How about I give mod and mod pack creators the ability to add their own tabs and configs to my lobby screen later?

[unkempt gust]

yes

[analog radish]

Ok, found a funny Issue
If you leave when you have the NightVision On, and you make a new save, the NightVision stays on Permanently

[unkempt gust]

ruh roh

[solid pivot]

fixed 👀

[ionic garnet]

Is there a way to find lobby the people are hosting

B.c i dont see anyone using advancedcompany in lobby finder

[solid pivot]

You will only see AdvCmpny lobbys in the near future

But they might have other mods conflicting

So you wont be able to join them all

Maybe I will come up with a solution to that

But that should also be true for MoreCompany rn

[ionic garnet]

But morecompany shows the lobby count in the finder

Either advcompany lobby arent showing up

Or something

[solid pivot]

Server savefile syncing confirmed working with new lobby system :3

Handshake sends the local player data to the server
Server then decide to use it or use its own saved values
Send lobby back to client with their respective ClientID they will have when in-game
Client sets values accordingly.

All of that while you are still connecting in the main menu

There is somewhat of a problem tho. Unity disconnects clients because of the ConfigHash which will change when Prefabs are registered by a mod

so you will see the standard "An error occured"

I want to give a better reason tho :<

May have to transpile Unitys Netcode

And then I will open up AdvancedCompany for syncing mod versions and stuff

[rapid hollow]

could adv company be the culprit of an eclipsed moon spawning literally nothing but turrets and mines? lol

[solid pivot]

Mod can basically just register in their awake:

AdvancedCompany.AddModSync("ModName", "1.0.0");

[unkempt gust]

just tried playing with more than 4 players

didnt work

[solid pivot]

Seems like a you problem tho

Played with 7 players just yesterday

(and 124 mods)

[unkempt gust]

hmm\

is ther elike a config

after all 4 players join

[solid pivot]

Read the mod description

I wrote it for a reason

[unkempt gust]

everyone else keeps saying that they are offline

[solid pivot]

I have settled on

AdvancedCompany.Lib.Mod.RegisterRequiredMod("MyMod", "MyModVersion");

Oh wait, I will do it like this probably, much easier:

[eternal ivy]

AC is set up for 32 to players by default.

[solid pivot]

AdvancedCompany.Lib.Mod.RegisterRequiredMod(this);

Where this is your BepInPlugin

I can read the version from the attribute

I will add both methods tho

I trust you with the power

Plz only register your own mod tho

Not any dependencies etc.

And all mods which add that are also tested if they are not present on the server

and refuse connection if they are not part of the lobby but the client has it

Its meant for all client mods

[solid pivot]

oh btw

the memes are strong

FINALLY

Vanilla clients will FINALLY get a error message telling them exactly whats wrong

testing version mismatch

this

is

fricking

HUGEEEEEE

[stiff galleon]

LESSS GOOOOOOO

[solid pivot]

Now only mods have to support this :3

[fair delta]

compatibility with lethalmodmanager?

[analog radish]

So there'll be a list of unsuported mods?

[solid pivot]

No, why should I have compability with other libraries trying to do the same but inferior?

I check on the netcode handshake

LethalModManager can however add any mods they like to the list

The API is open

New logo for when a modpack wants to replace the main menu logo

Will be doable via API too. Something like

AdvancedCompany.Lib.Flavour.SetLogo(Texture2D texture);

[lost python]

pretty sure that is just a vanilla thing 💀

[solid pivot]

Regarding spawn: I change 2 variables. SpawnValueMultiplier and SpawnAmountMultiplier

thats it

search for the culprit somewhere else

Or if you are sure it must be my mod

[rapid hollow]

i love zeekers

[solid pivot]

deactivate weather effects

[lost python]

I am pretty sure it's just vanilla

Because from what I observed when playing Eclipsed, it's usually like this:

• Few enemies for some reason as if it's not eclipsed
• A lot of enemies inside/outside (or both)
• Landmine and Turret spam like why

this is what i encounter usually anyway

[rapid hollow]

yeah wasnt adv

every eclipse is now 0 mobs

[solid pivot]

When you place your own flavour logo this AdvCmpny flavour will be shown instead :)

[lost python]

truly an eclipse moment of all time

[rapid hollow]

yeah i found 3 possible culprits

[lost python]

eclipsed is so funky ngl

[rapid hollow]

and thats funny to me cause its
mines fix
scannable nodes
and autocomplete

how do they even interact with mob spawning on eclipsed moons is just baffling to me

like how

[lost python]

they don't

autocomplete is terminal right

[rapid hollow]

yep

[lost python]

idk what mines fix is

[solid pivot]

Probably forgot smth but thats 1.0.11 so far:

1.0.11

• Reworked the whole lobby netcode
• Introduced the first API calls:
  • AdvancedCompany.Lib.Mod.RegisterRequiredMod()
  • AdvancedCompany.Lib.Flavour.SetLogo()
• Fixed an error which only showed the simple death messages with Coroner
• Fixed an error with damage reduction perk
• Added lobby settings and presets
• Added client settings
• Added MoreCompany cosmetics compability
• Added custom death screen compatible for up to 32 players
• If MoreCompany is present (due to a dependency of a cosmetics mod or by choice) it will get deactivated at runtime.
• If MoreCompany is present the included cosmetics of MoreCompany will become available.
• Fixed an error regarding the save suits option

[rapid hollow]

that they dont blow up instantly

a bug introduced by zeekerss in 45

[lost python]

oh

wait so they actually act like landmines in v45

[rapid hollow]

i mean...... like some mines probably yeah

[lost python]

So does AC have default cosmetics

I didn't follow through the discussions here as of late

[rapid hollow]

AC company is a life saver when you gotta play with your 1050ti friend that doesnt want download anything

so you can just

give him that

and get a ton of features

love it

[lost python]

It completely cut my modpack in half

[rapid hollow]

yeah same pretty much

[lost python]

and we encountered like

little to no problems

[solid pivot]

Made it a bit more clear:

1.0.11

• Introduced the first API calls:
  • AdvancedCompany.Lib.Mod.RegisterRequiredMod()
  • AdvancedCompany.Lib.Flavour.SetLogo()
• Reworked the whole lobby netcode
  • You will only be able to see AdvancedCompany lobbies.
  • Vanilla players joining will see a meaningful error message.
  • Mismatched all-clients mod registered with the new API will be communicated with the player.
  • Handshake is done during MainMenu resulting in less sync problems for player data.
  • Lobby size will now be communicated before scene initialization, resulting in only instantiating the max amount of players which can join.
  • Server configuration is shared before scene switching resulting in less config sync problems.
• Fixed an error which only showed the simple death messages with Coroner
• Fixed an error with damage reduction perk
• Added lobby settings and presets
• Added client settings
• Added MoreCompany cosmetics compability
• Added custom death screen compatible for up to 32 players
• If MoreCompany is present (due to a dependency of a cosmetics mod or by choice) it will get deactivated at runtime.
• If MoreCompany is present the included cosmetics of MoreCompany will become available.
• Fixed an error regarding the save suits option

What reworked lobby means

No included cosmetics btw

[lost python]

Oh right, have anyone encountered a problem where you can't buy any of the AC equipment at all ?(nightvision goggles, bulletproof vest, flippers, rocket boots, missile launcher)

[solid pivot]

Most likely LethalExpansion breaking everything

[lost python]

true

we do have lethalexpansion

[solid pivot]

Will replace the store anyway

[lost python]

it is fixed by rehosting so it's fine

[solid pivot]

huge point I need to mention

• Cosmetics can be changed while in-game

[lost python]

this is actually huge

it's like in among us

[solid pivot]

Like I said

AdvancedCompany is superior to MoreCompany in every way

Every single thing

[rapid hollow]

i love how currently you can type that to 90% of problems encountered in lc modding and be correct

[solid pivot]

More robust Netcode, being able to sync mod versions and stuff

Cosmetic changing in-game

[rapid hollow]

oh damn

[solid pivot]

better endscreen, better deathscreen

[lost python]

Man I wonder if I can learn making mods from you 😭

[solid pivot]

I might add a simple AddPlayerData soon too, which will be synced before the player is even in the game

Handshake is put into the connectionapproval process of Unitys Netcode

[lost python]

Hmm maybe it will be possible to make cosmetics based on AC instead of MoreCompany

[rapid hollow]

@solid pivot hi there, was wondering if you know what could be possibly be breaking suits terminal? def related to your mod cause couldnt reproduce it without

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/darmuh/suitsTerminal/

[solid pivot]

Dunno

have no time to check tho

But I will add something really nice :3

Game will only show you lobbys with compatible mods

So if you are playing a mod pack for example which has mods working with my system or simply adding a dummy mod which requires all players to have that mod

this will get saved into the steam lobby

And advancedcompany will show this lobby only when a player is searching for lobbies with the same mods

[rapid hollow]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/NotAtomicBomb/TerminalApi/ or maybe its incompatible with this lib in some way?
I remember lethal missions mod command stopping working out of the blue when i was playing with adv company enabled

[bronze iron]

is there a list of every terminal command that comes with AdvancedCompany?

like an AdvancedCompany wiki or something of that sort?

[solid pivot]

For players its extend, totalquota, perks and the items

items being added in a vanilla way

other commands are debug stuff only

xp, shipxp, profit, stoptime

reduce i think

before I discovered eject

[bronze iron]

yea zeekers snuck in eject in the latest update lol

[solid pivot]

For modpack creators. All I need from you to only show your lobbies:

void Awake()
{
    AdvancedCompany.Lib.Mod.RegisterRequiredMod("ModName", "ModVersion");
}

In a simple mod added to your modpack

After doing that AdvCmpny will 1) ensure that all players joining have the same version installed and 2) will only show lobbies with your modpack installed in lobby search (with the correct version too)

[bronze iron]

so, if you have the time to answer, could you point me to where you might modify this list in AdvancedCompany? StartOfRound.Instance.unlockablesList.unlockables

[solid pivot]

Only accessing it

Its in Patches.GameNetworkManager.ResetClone

[bronze iron]

I appreciate the answer, trying to figure out what causes the incompatibility with suitsTerminal mentioned above

[solid pivot]

Only found reference is this

[bronze iron]

thanks again, i'll keep digging

[solid pivot]

How does the incompability show itself?

[rapid hollow]

the mod's commands stop working when i remake a lobby

and randomly stop working for joining clients

[bronze iron]

yea for whatever reason the commands become invalid commands on second load of a lobby

[solid pivot]

Any other mods installed?

Like LethalExpansion?

The same thing happens with my items when that mod is present ;)

[rapid hollow]

tested with only these two

[rapid hollow]

aha

[solid pivot]

Weird, I dont add any commands btw

I do add keywords for the items of course

but besides that I dont touch anything xD

I check for my commands being typed in with my own system and if its not one of my commands I return true and let the game handle that input.

My fix for items will do the same for items

Then I dont touch commands at all

But probably have to wait for 1.0.11 then as I will change some stuff regarding the terminal anyway

[bronze iron]

yea testing with just AC and my mod. It looks like something is wiping the commands added via TerminalAPI's CreateTerminalKeyword method

[solid pivot]

Oh wait, I guess I might have an idea why that happens, its the tweaks part

When do you initialize your mod?

[HarmonyPatch(typeof(global::Terminal), "Awake")]
[HarmonyPostfix]

thats when I do that

[bronze iron]

ahhhh

[solid pivot]

Either use Prefix OR use the following:

        [HarmonyPatch(typeof(global::Terminal), "Awake")]
        [HarmonyPostfix]
        [Harmony.Before(new string[]{"AdvancedCompany"})]

Then your commands should be put into the originalkeywords

And restored on a new lobby

[bronze iron]

I have to wait for the suits to load in from moresuits so im patching in at [HarmonyPatch(typeof(StartOfRound), "Start")]

[solid pivot]

You use the original AddKeyword method? Might see if I can do smth about that

[bronze iron]

as the keywords are dynamically generated from their name values

I'll just add a compatibility check for AC and create the keywords every time

[solid pivot]

I could also just remove all keywords for items entirely instead and use my own buy command

[bronze iron]

I just noticed this when trying to do something similar but use the UpdateKeyword method from terminal API

[solid pivot]

Would probably be even better

then I dont have to create a copy

I will just go over the terminal, look for buy commands and remove them (add them to my list of buyable items)

[bronze iron]

I'm also working on some compatibility with my regular terminal mod

basically using this:
if (Chainloader.PluginInfos.ContainsKey("com.potatoepet.AdvancedCompany"))
{
Plugin.Log.LogInfo("Advanced Company detected, setting Advanced Company Compatibility options");
CompatibilityAC = true;
}

[solid pivot]

Yea, havent thought about compability when adding that tweak mechanic in the terminal. I am sorry

Yes, you can do it like that

I do it like that too :D

[bronze iron]

No worries, I understand this project is a big one there's bound to be compatibility issues here and there

[solid pivot]

I usually try to use the least invasive method :D

But I added this pretty quickly before releasing 1.0

And I was stressed

So I quickly added the items configuration xD

The easiest way which came into my head

[bronze iron]

hahaha I understand

[solid pivot]

I mean, I just need to iterate the nouns in this

        var buyKeyword = __instance.terminalNodes.allKeywords.First(keyword => keyword.word == "buy");

[bronze iron]

if you do end up changing how it works please ping me so I can update suitsTerminal as well

[solid pivot]

1.0.11 will change the behaviour ^^

Its funny tho that my items dont work after that because I add my commands everytime

does the PluginInfo have the version included?

You could check for <=1.0.10 basically

I am working on a rework of the Terminal rn and maybe even adding the cursor menu shop

And my mod will now also fix stuff like

lightning rod not working

with a space

I will check for all buyable items when a player first enters a text into the terminal now

This should be late enough

I won't add my own items to the keywords any longer but instead replace the store and put all items I found into it :D

For now I will replace the store with a mostly identical version

[solid pivot]

I might also add a freeform config file later
DeactivateItems = itemName1,itemName2
ItemCosts: itemName1=100,itemName2=200
MoonCosts: moonName1=100,moonName2=200

Etc.

[hallow mortar]

im really looking forward to finally adding your mod to my list after your next update. do you have an eta?

[solid pivot]

the credits icon doesnt have the correct width...

in a fixed-width font

gg Zeekeers

[analog radish]

gg

[hallow mortar]

oh what about a config option to make the store items be able to be listed alphabetically or by price?

[solid pivot]

I will sort them alphabetically soon

[hallow mortar]

coolio

[gleaming junco]

@solid pivot Would be nice to have an intensity setting for the night vision. It burns my eyes its so bright lol

[solid pivot]

There is one in the game already called Gamma

Has the benefit of making the game darker But will see what I can do

But you are awakening a beast btw

Somebody was saying there are shadow blobs so I decided to make light so bright in nightvision that it will burn out your eyes

Gonna add that too probably

HDR+10 value, so with HDR monitors it will be very very uncomfortable

Game is funny tho

How it handles teleporter buying and stuff

very funny

Finally showing up

alphabetical

[hallow mortar]

🙏

[solid pivot]

I could do it with the cursor menu but for now: nah

As someone complained about that menu

Will think about it later

[hallow mortar]

so is it not possible to use the discord search function in a forum

[solid pivot]

New store is way tidier now tho

Sadly nah

[hallow mortar]

thats so dumb

[solid pivot]

It is

[hallow mortar]

though i remember what i was gonna try to find. i wanted to ask if you still were potentially going to rename nightvision to vision enhancers since it does more than let you see in the dark?

[eternal ivy]

It does?

[hallow mortar]

ha

yeah i believe its supposed to let you see through fog/smoke/steam if i remember correctly

do correct me if im wrong potatoe

[solid pivot]

It enhances vision in fog and steam, yes

[hallow mortar]

sick. so would you rename it to better reflect its overall purpose? i feel most people wouldnt even bother trying that as its specifically called "nightvision"

[solid pivot]

I might also have fixed the weird console scrolling scrolling way ahead of the cursor

dunno why Zeekers is using ContentSizeFitter instead of autoSizeTextContainer

yea

I basically fixed the terminal

Lowest scroll value

And I made it even a bit wider

Will have to see if I can add tags to my text padder for boxes

so I can make the shop look fresh

[solid pivot]

Nah, cant easily do it

Would be basically 4 hours or so of work to make it work nice

Just for some colors. Nah :D

[solid pivot]

:3

As a fallback

So you can buy the lightning rod also as

lignthingrod

it will still find it

Thats the last resort if the game wasnt able to assign a node to your input

I will do distance checks etc. to ensure if there is an item you wanted to buy

very smart console. good console *pat*

you understand potatoe speak now

asdliujnfsdniplog

I need

pölwqifdjqjpif

You can buy a male genitalia

Cant type the word here

It finds some item xD

It somehow found the Minion suit

-Mi -on yeaaa

makes sense

distance is 7

remove 4 letters add pe and s

Story of my life

I am not entirely sure what it found tho

can only be the missile launcher xD

something seems off

I made it to accept 16 text distance but how would you come to missile launcher with just 16 text actions

oh right

the ss is already there

remove pu and y is 3. Adding Mi and ilelauncheris 13

Exactly 16

ooooooof

OK, let me lower that a bit

lowered it to 6

[plush fern]

Hey Potatoe, do you think eventually it might be possible for this mod to include a lobby code feature like Compatibility Checker? That mod isn't being maintained anymore and the lobby codes are way more efficient for setting up groups. It's just an idea of course.

[eternal ivy]

@plush fern https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Ryokune/Better_Lobbies/

[plush fern]

Made by the same guy who is also not updating it

[eternal ivy]

What needs updating?

He has a reason for not updating CompatibilityChecker.

Not just because he doesn't want/can't.

[plush fern]

I never said anything about why he's not updating it. I don't see a point in judging when I don't know how it works

All I said was it's not being maintained, never brought up casting blame or nothing

[eternal ivy]

What?

[plush fern]

You implied he has a reason for not maintaining it and it having nothing to do with not wanting to or not being able to

I never even went there I'm basically saying I did not attribute any motive behind the lack of maintainence.

[solid pivot]

But doesnt all lobbys have an ID anyway with steam? Would only have to show it on screen and make an input

Its a basic steam feature

[plush fern]

I'm not too familiar with that tbh

[solid pivot]

May add "Let join users after start" as an option btw. making AdvancedCompany to the ultimate lobby solution

[plush fern]

The one stop shop for all things lobby related

[solid pivot]

But something I dont feel like is letting people join on a planet

Thats desync hell

oh yea, its standard steam btw

You dont need any plugin to do this

You can basically copy the join lobby link

Will be a link like this:
steam://joinlobby/871200/109775241003709890/76561198017227219

People only have to go to that URL and be able to join your lobby

steam://joinlobby/1966720/109775241426520271/76561198028762705

yep

thats my currently open lobby

Just go to your steam profile and copy the link

but tbh

making the game joinable after start is so easy

Not doing LeaveCurrentSteamLobby is all whats needed

But of course I will make the lobby not joinable and open it up again when in orbit etc.

I will add a hidden config value to test joining while on a moon

ok, you have to remove one other thing too

else if (Instance.gameHasStarted)
{
response.Reason = "Game has already started!";
flag = false;
}

but thats it basically

but I might just use that variable to reset being on a moon

[sonic vale]

i wonder why it breaks that much things, like weather sync or battery sound

at least mods like latecompany had hard time fixing it

[solid pivot]

because the game doesnt sync that stuff

Will have to see whats missing

[sonic vale]

i'm currently using ShipLobby instead of LateCompany, as it seems way more stable

still same bugs of scrambled nicknames or ghost players who left hours ago

but at least it's pretty playable

[solid pivot]

btw, sometimes IL is funny :3

Will just replace this

    IL_00cf: call class GameNetworkManager GameNetworkManager::get_Instance()
    IL_00d4: ldfld bool GameNetworkManager::gameHasStarted
    IL_00d9: brfalse.s IL_00ed

with

    IL_00d4: ldc.i4.0
    IL_00d9: brfalse.s IL_00ed

ldc.i4.0 is false

it will just always branch :3

And skip that block entirely

so easy and elegant

[solid pivot]

Join after game start working so far (in LAN)

So far:

1.0.11

• Introduced the first API calls:
  • AdvancedCompany.Lib.Mod.RegisterRequiredMod()
  • AdvancedCompany.Lib.Flavour.SetLogo()
• Reworked the whole lobby netcode
  • You will only be able to see AdvancedCompany lobbies with the same all-clients mods as you (if they use RegisterRequiredMod).

  • Mismatched all-clients mod registered with the new API will be communicated with the player.
  • Handshake is done during MainMenu resulting in less sync problems for player data.
  • Lobby size will now be communicated before scene initialization, resulting in only instantiating the max amount of players which can join.
  • Server configuration is shared before scene switching resulting in less config sync problems.
  • AudioMixer will only get replaced for player voices and its output is linked to the games audio mixer, resulting in less audio problems.
  • AudioMixer will expand depending on the max players in the lobby. (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32)
  • Added new experimental "Join after start" option.
• Added a new store to make the terminal more robust
• Added a fallback if item was not found making it possible to buy lightning rod with input like "lignting"
• Change the terminal text field to behave more nicely with its scrollarea.
• Fixed an error which only showed the simple death messages with Coroner
• Fixed an error with damage reduction perk
• Added lobby settings and presets
• Added client settings and presets
• Added MoreCompany cosmetics compability
• Cosmetics can be changed while in-game
• Added custom death screen compatible for up to 32 players
• If MoreCompany is present (due to a dependency of a cosmetics mod or by choice) it will get deactivated at runtime.
• If MoreCompany is present the included cosmetics of MoreCompany will become available.
• Fixed an error regarding the save suits option

LobbySizePatches

biiig

[stiff galleon]

Legend.

So excited for the 1.0.11

Wait added join after start?
So we can say goodbye to the shiplobby?

[solid pivot]

Maybe

Dunno if it works good

Its just experimental for now

Somebody having some friends wanting to beta test? Looking for big lobby tests

Dont want to push out an update this big just to everyone

I can upload it here publicly tho. No need for secrecy

It will be 0.0.100 as a version

thats just how I do beta versions locally :3

Just use import local mod. I expect it to be unstable

I havent tested it that much yet

Changelog so far is still:

1.0.11

[meager cradle]

I would say me but my friend group's pretty picky about when everyone wants to get on for a session (irl and juggling other games), there's like 10 of us total but only like, 3 (one being me) are consistent about being available for a session

[solid pivot]

I would ask you to not use any other mods than cosmetics if possible

@bronze iron You can test the 0.0.100 version with your mod. Should work now.

Some things about settings isnt exactly perfect. If you dont save a preset and just press continue for exmaple and join a lobby, the settings will be reset to the preset but the stuff before was applied. I want it to keep being the unsaved changes in the window :D

And if you select a preset in menu and go in game it will select file preset again.

Have to fix that too. But thats just some details

[bronze iron]

i'll have to test it out with the prior version, i pushed a quick update to make it work with the prior version earlier

[solid pivot]

At the others: You can open a public lobby btw and test if that works :)

Only your AdvancedCompany 0.0.100 lobbys should show up.

[stiff galleon]

Will test it later in the day with ma friends

[solid pivot]

Just tested, it shows up, so you can try :D

So happy that it showing up is working

I wonder if I can join my own lobby

nah, doesnt work

[alpine charm]

bruh

[solid pivot]

? :D

[alpine charm]

it's random thing i say, on random things i saw

[solid pivot]

oh yea, the weights of items is broken

Teleporter is gone after dying

Start XP not set correctly and I need to rearrange inventory slots

[stiff galleon]

By the way after upgrading the weight reduce perks the HUD doesn't show reduced weight it's show original weight, is it normal?

[solid pivot]

Yes

It wont show any reduced weight, it will have an effect tho

It doesnt reduce the weight, it reduces the strain it has on your stamina

[stiff galleon]

Got it

[solid pivot]

It basically makes your character stronger in carrying stuff

reducing stamina usage only currently

Will change that behaviour tho

[stiff galleon]

I see. And also sometimes we finished our journey and got some valuable scrap it still show 0 value at the end HUD is that known or just maybe other mods conflict this mod?

[solid pivot]

I will publish a small update to fix the item weight bug

As it will make play very hard

I hope the weight bug is fixed, probably have to remove your file configs

Night visione ffect is broken it seems

I wasnt able to take off after 2nd time landing

Dunno if it was because of the file access violation

[analog radish]

I found a small desync.
When I play with multiple players, we all have the basic flashlight.
But in some moments when a player presses F, it lights up as if he had the pro flashlight.
It desynchronizes in a small way causing a player to see another player with a basic flashlight see the light as a pro flashlight.

It only happens with the basic flashlight, with the pro it synchronizes perfectly

[solid pivot]

Did you confirm that it still happens in 0.0.100?

[analog radish]

nope

in the lat released version

maybe it's alr fixed

[solid pivot]

oh yea, the save error is the problem

OnShipLandedMiscEvents();
SetPlayerObjectExtrapolate(enable: false);
shipHasLanded = true;

ship never has landed because of it

One of the problems when testing with myself

now buying 20 flashlights and 20 pro flashlights again

and switching them like a maniac to confirm

it works surprisingly good for me rn

(I mean the 0.0.100 version overall)

Considering its the biggest update yet basically double the code

[analog radish]

I see

I'll let you know about the issue in the new update

[solid pivot]

I would love for people to test the beta build without other mods (with exception of cosmetics mods)

[solid pivot]

I will sleep soon but I will push out one last update later

[stiff galleon]

hmm right corner powered by haven't implement?

[solid pivot]

It is if a mod is replacing the main logo

[stiff galleon]

Got it

[solid pivot]

This is weird tho btw

Dunno if its a vanilla bug

Host cant see whats on the screen (in LAN)

dunno if this happens online too

[stiff galleon]

Let me see

[lost python]

i never encountered that before

[stiff galleon]

Yeah it happened with online and I'm pretty sure that it's a new bug

Cause before 0.100 never seen this problem before

[solid pivot]

Cant get the flashlight bug to happen but found another flashlight bug

Which is btw a game bug with multiple flashlights I didnt fix

[lost python]

what's the other flashlight bug

[solid pivot]

Having an offhand flashlight active and dropping an inactive one will disable the flashlight effect but the offhanded flashlight is still running

[lost python]

oh that one

[solid pivot]

previousPlayerHeldBy.helmetLight.enabled = false;

this line is causing it

[stiff galleon]

I'm very sorry to interrupt, But is rolling inventory slot been implement?

[solid pivot]

???

Or yea and another bug I found, the script doesnt correctly prioritize pro flashlights

battery life was more important for the selection rn

I dont know what you mean with rolling inventory slot

[stiff galleon]

Or maybe I misremember this thing? I remember that there is a way to resolve 8 slots problem?

[solid pivot]

No, there will never be

7 is enough

[stiff galleon]

OK my brain is telling me it's time to rest

[lost python]

I like how the max is 7 because 8, 9, and 0 are for the equipment

[solid pivot]

It will feel like 10 when there are more equipment to wear

[stiff galleon]

Seems collected is working now. Only this one bug has been found

Nevermind found one

If you open cosmetics page in the game and change to other program like edge or chrome or steam and back to the game the cursor will lock at the middle

It's not always happened..? cause it is working again

[solid pivot]

I think this is a game bug

I can fix the game bug tho

At least I think

I will try

[stiff galleon]

Yeah it looks like zeekers forgot Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked; into Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;?

[solid pivot]

Not happening here at all. Weird

[stiff galleon]

I happened once but now it's normal

Really odd

Looks like it need special condition to happen.

Store items missing?

[solid pivot]

which one?

[stiff galleon]

all

[solid pivot]

no?

scroll up?

[solid pivot]

check your config

[stiff galleon]

OK

gonna try it without mod, maybe it's conflict

[solid pivot]

?

[stiff galleon]

Maybe my mod conflict with this mod, I'm gonna remove other mods

But still weird tho, I didn't install any mod that change store or add items to store

It is visible now, It's time to find imposter

Weird, it never happened to me before

[solid pivot]

Must be a mod going beserk pretty good

As I add my items myself to my own store page

Its custom code

[stiff galleon]

Lots of sus mod is fine...really odd

[ionic garnet]

How do you extend lighting rod @solid pivot

[solid pivot]

Left click to deploy

Its not retractable tho

One time use only

Fixed the lobby creator error btw

[stiff galleon]

After I disable and reenable all mods, the items visible again???????

What the heck???

[solid pivot]

Was able to remove some old code, feels good

Lobby handling is so much nicer now

[stiff galleon]

Really odd...gonna try it with new save

New save is working fine...

Me right now

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-stupid-loading-reloading-frozen-gif-12161305258921099722

wait

[stiff galleon]

I think I found it

Maybe it is because of cosmetic????

[solid pivot]

101 fixes some lobby related bugs, the inventory slot sync at restart of lobby, wrong xp when save progress is false after being fired and the flashlight dropping bug

Try 101 and see if it fixes it

Cosmetics have no influence on the terminal tho

[stiff galleon]

Really odd tho, it happened again after I put that on

I will try 101 later

@solid pivot

Bad news

It's confirm that it is the cosmetic cause that

Now I know how to represent this bug

gonna try 101 to see the bug is fixed or not

Nope

Not fixed yet

[solid pivot]

Everything is working here

Which cosmetics mod do you use?

[stiff galleon]

Mask and joker hat

[solid pivot]

there is no mod named like that

[stiff galleon]

AH so sorry

I mean default

Morecompany's default

[stiff galleon]

Yes

[stiff galleon]

weird

[solid pivot]

Give me your log and I can tell you more

no log, no clue

[stiff galleon]

sure, give me a second

[solid pivot]

can you try with a new save file?

[stiff galleon]

I already disable other mods and the bug still present

OK

Still happened

Do you need me go to VC to show you how to represent this problem?

Found the main problem is not about cosmetic system

It's config save cause it

[solid pivot]

I dont know what you mean

[stiff galleon]

I will make a video to show you

https://youtu.be/HkoBCU1E16E

Here's video

[solid pivot]

I will sleep now. Its 7 AM here once again.

Please test this version, best without any other mods besides cosmetics. Looking forward for feedback

[stiff galleon]

Sure go to sleep hero

[solid pivot]

I have already fixed the bug you have shown 15 minutes ago. :) It was an error with quitting and rejoining a game.

[stiff galleon]

Thanks

[solid pivot]

My tests showed so far that the 102 seems very stable. Really looking forward for others to test. You can create public lobbies and find each other that way if you dont want to add each other to steam.

[stiff galleon]

My friends will online soon

I will tell them to test this beta together

Yep totally fixed! thanks!

New bug,Starting XP is not working at all, set 1000 but give 500, and after upgrade a perk won't auto back to perks menu, have to cancel and XP will present wrong value, can't upgrade tho, after left terminal and use it again it will become normal

[solid pivot]

Start XP ONLY works when Save Progress is DEACTIVATED

There might be an error for the host. Not sure from bed.

[stiff galleon]

Yes I deactivated it so I can customized the starting XP

But not working

you can go to sleep I will sort out the problem and report to you

Ship perks works fine

Player Xp won't save either

[stiff galleon]

And maybe, just want to suggest that dynamic monster amount,scaling with more then four players

Moremonster is mess moons spawn limit

[brave skiff]

I am playing around with this modpack I made and found that there is some incompatibility with advanced company and LethalEmotesAPI, I get some message spamming my bepinEx logs:

[stiff galleon]

@brave skiff Not sure if PotatouPet would fix that, cause he want to push the new update asap so I think the compatibility with other mods are not highest proiorty atm.

[brave skiff]

Totally understandable I was just curious about the nature of the error, but I'll see if I can do any more digging.

[stiff galleon]

Better use this version to test

[brave skiff]

that test version works, at least I'm not getting a black screen when trying to host a lobby

[sonic lava]

I've been having something similar happen but fiddling with the general.cfg file back and forth opening the game each time it was changed eventually fixed it for some reason.

[stiff galleon]

Yeah but still definitely need be fixed.

[nova ingot]

So, if I may understand this correctly, the plan is to have people who already have morecompany download advancedcompany, run it once, cache their cosmetics, then go and uninstall morecompany along with the cosmetic mods since it's a dependency and r2modman is stupid?

[stiff galleon]

no

You don't have to remove it.

This mod just kill that mod instead on startup.

[nova ingot]

Alr alr ty

[stiff galleon]

np

[nova ingot]

Using test version with a friend and only cosmetic mods: cosmetics don't show despite saving/and using a preset, unable to rename a preset

[urban escarp]

Reserved slot are causing ui issues on save reload with normal slots on latest beta, also the terminal doens't register when you go to confirm an upgrade

[stiff galleon]

First one noted and second one was known.

[stiff galleon]

wdym?

First one is normal for me and second one you can type numbers but can't type English. Noted!

[nova ingot]

What cosmetic mods are you using?

Here's my list

[stiff galleon]

I only use default

[nova ingot]

Strange

They show up in the menu

Not in game tho

[stiff galleon]

Will test it later

[safe jewel]

Yo, I would like to learn to make mods. I have also a few item ideas I've been thinking about to spice up the gameplay and offer some more chances to reach higher quotas, if the players are willing to take risks.

[stiff galleon]

Wrong channel go to #dev-general

[nova ingot]

Well now it works randomly 💀

I know potatoe wanted testing with only cosmetic mods but since that's semi-resolved/noted I decided to test the other FlipMods mod confirmed to be at least working and hey would you look at that

Only problem is that the person doing the emotes can't see theirs but that's a toomanyemotes problem, not this

But overall this is pretty fuckin' neat, I like the straight forward-ness of the menus a lot

[stiff galleon]

Yeah I had noticed that, better report to the toomanyemotes author

[nova ingot]

Yeah, probably gonna wait until this releases before making that report

[bronze iron]

FYI was only able to test v1.0.10 which was still removing terminal commands on next load of a lobby. Was this the version you were referencing or was it not posted to thunderstore yet? I also just added a check for if the keyword still exists since terminalapi added a GetKeyword function an update or two ago so even if this behaviour sticks for the forseable future there shouldnt be any further conflicts

[eternal ivy]

1.0.10 is current stable one on Thunderstore.

Will there be an option to limit cosmetics per slot? Like only allowing one hat?

@solid pivot Test version: setting XP multiplier to 200 sets it to 20000.

[stiff galleon]

You mean it actually set to 20000?

[stiff galleon]

you can find lastest beta here

[eternal ivy]

That's the number that got saved to the config.

[stiff galleon]

.

[stiff galleon]

Hmm gonna test myself

Hmm.. I think it auto add zero after you type numbers

[fair delta]

Does anyone get a bug where when you set save progress to false in config, and hosting a game on a new save and you still have your player xp

[sonic lava]

I'm currently using the BetterTeleporter mod since it's the only one that works with InverseTeleporterToPlayer. But the config requires you to manually type in the item type. For ex: KeyItem,FlashlightItem,WalkieTalkie,RadarBoosterItem,Shovel
And for Lategame Upgrades, what worked was "MoreShipUpgrades.UpgradeComponents.coilHeadItem" for the peeper. So I was wondering what the names for the item types were in Advanced Company were so I could add them to the config in BetterTeleporter. I'm specifically trying to tp with the Missile launcer, Lightning Rod, Bulletproof Vest, Rocket boots, and Diving fins.

[fair delta]

did you check your log if it maybe says the item name when you pick it up?

[stiff galleon]

You can use ToxicOmega_Tools to see item's internal name

Or ID

[sonic lava]

That's what my settings were and it seemed to work. But tbh, I also ended up trying a lot of different things including deleting all of my save files before it eventually worked.

[fair delta]

Deleting your save files in the folder or in game?

[sonic lava]

in game

[fair delta]

ok

oh save in profile

yeah that's prob it

then you wont save at all

[sonic lava]

It does save your progress actually

just not throughout all the saves

[fair delta]

just only in the save file?

Right

[sonic lava]

ye

[fair delta]

So must be just a bug then that hosts keep their xp if they have save in profile enabled

since im guessing clients lose their xp still

on that same server

[sonic lava]

tbh not sure. I haven't tested it with other players.

I only did this because it was the only way to start with 0 xp... I believe the "save progress" being true forces you to always start with 500, which confused the F out of me, since that's not what I thought it says. It would also save across different saves so that was also annoying.

I honestly don't even know why perk progress is saved across all saves. Not sure if this was intended or just a bug...

[sonic lava]

Welp... this is not it unfortunately.

It gives the item names but not the ItemType

The console also only shows the item names and not the ItemType

[fair delta]

ServerConfiguration.Instance.Items.RocketBoots.Active || ServerConfiguration.Instance.Items.BulletProofVest.Active || ServerConfiguration.Instance.Items.NightVision.Active || ServerConfiguration.Instance.Items.SwimmingFins.Active;

maybe these?

from looking at the source

im guessing BulletProofVest RocketBoots SwimmingFins NightVision ?

[sonic lava]

testing it now. Just BulletProofVest, etc. does not work as I have tried that already.

Nope, ServerConfiguration.Instance.Items.RocketBoots.Active and ServerConfiguration.Instance.Items.RocketBoots both do not work

I believe those are not the names of the ItemType.

An example of how ItemType may not be the name itself, is with the base game and lategame upgrades. Base game states that certain kinds of loot are PhysicsProp or NoisemakerProp etc.

while lategame has the peeper be coilHeadItem

But in lategame's case, it wasn't enough to use coilHeadItem. I had to put MoreShipUpgrades.UpgradeComponents. in front of coilHeadItem for it to work

[stiff galleon]

There's seven bug I found and other players reported. If I missed something please let me know

[grizzled root]

@solid pivot the BetterEXP Mod, no showing Increase EXP Bar when Out Moon.
i mean like EXP For rank increase no showing because the custom end screen

[stiff galleon]

No it's not showing cause there's perks system replace whole EXP system

[eternal ivy]

Yes. It's not showing XP bar in general.

[grizzled root]

ah ok.
how about Inventory
posibbled for remove Inventory only Helmet/Armor/Boots ?

[eternal ivy]

Disable all items that go into these slots.

[wild silo]

i think it would be nice if it was displayed anyway or configurable. Because all these systems exist in parallel and BetterEXP even plays the sound when the XP bar would be showing.

AC also doesn't have a way of showing earned XP and ship XP yet, does it? Only checking in perks menu afaik.

From testing the beta version: for the config menus a button to reset an option to default would be nice. Because currently you can't tell what's default for any given option. Lethal config does this pretty well I think.

[eternal ivy]

I agree, but at the same time XP and Rank are completely pointless.

[wild silo]

yeah, absolutely. But this might change in the future. Whether it's vanilla or betterEXP introducing something. I mean it changes the rank on your suit.. so yeah 😅

[stiff galleon]

Well you can delete config file to get default value

But yeah maybe PotatoePet will add it in future

But now- I think fix the bug in the beta is the top mission

[eternal ivy]

Faster to check the default value in config than outright deleting it.

[stiff galleon]

Yeah that will be better way to get default value. But I think it will take some times. This mod have too many mechanic.

Also he is developing his game so probably will get it very later.

[eternal ivy]

It's not a difficult addition.

And he's not developing his game yet.

[pale solar]

Is there a mod conflicting with the rocket boots item atm. I can give my mod list but I'm unsure what mod would be doing it

Boots seem to just cut my feet off, like they disappear and have no function
same goes for the bulletvest it doesn't show but I think it still works

[stiff galleon]

Soon. After 1.1 out

[stiff galleon]

And maybe you are right, but if you want to let your code running perfectly and efficiently I believe that is not an easy job.

[stiff galleon]

Dm me mod list

I will try to help you after showering

[serene mica]

This is a weird question but, how did you figure out putting custom post processing volume in your mod?
I learned thanks to this mod but how did you figure it out initially?

[solid pivot]

You mean custom post processing scripts?

Reverse Engineering

I have basically reverse engineered the HDRP pipeline

[serene mica]

That's amazing you did that

There was no way I was able to do something like that and you unintentionally saved someone from going insane

[solid pivot]

Took me 8 hours in a rainy night

[serene mica]

sounds like you might've almost went insane there too. Thanks for what you did.

[stiff galleon]

Morning @solid pivot there's seven bug we found for latest beta version. especially no.7 it's a self-destruct options now

1.Perks system won't back to perks menu after upgrade.
2.rename can't type english
3.Reserved UI issued
4.scan command scarp value is not same as end game value
5.XP modifler auto add two 0
6.If player join while landing, ship won't land forever
7.Save progress is totally broken at all if I deactivated it all games will break and when meeting deadline it won't finish this stage forever.

[solid pivot]

Already saw your list

[stiff galleon]

No.7 took me lots of time to figure out how to represent

[solid pivot]

I did, yes.

Because people wanted a Reset button and I couldnt be bothered to add 30 new fields to the config menu I decided to make the config modular now.

This means: All mods can basically add settings

Making AdvancedCompany the best solution to provide configs in-game :)

Probably will be rather easy API:

var myModTab = AdvancedCompany.Lib.Config.Client.Tab("General");
var container = myModTab.AddConfigContainer("Some awesome title", "Some awesome flavour text");
container.AddSlider("Some val", 100, 0, 200).onValueChanged += (float v) => {};

I might add extension methods to sliders etc. like

slider.AddFileBind(yourFileBinding);

So I can save into file config :3

[novel hull]

is it recommended to just remove more company when using this mod

[solid pivot]

When using 1.0.10. Yes

When using beta, no

[novel hull]

are other morecompany cosmetic mods compat with this?

[solid pivot]

When using 1.0.10, no
When using beta, yes

[novel hull]

sweet

how do i opt into the beta?

[solid pivot]

#1186884307332108339 message

But version is still somewhat buggy, to be expected

This is basically a total rewrite of the lobby netcode

tbh

I dont feel like keeping the file config any longer

I mean the one you can configure in Thunderstore

It basically just produces headaches for me working around it

[rapid hollow]

so does that mean that the mod wont be modular anymore or am i not understanding you correctly?

[solid pivot]

You can still configure it in-game with my json solution

And the presets are shared

[rapid hollow]

oh ok, ty for explaining

so like lethalsettings

[solid pivot]

dunno that mod

I dont know 99% of mods

[rapid hollow]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/willis81808/LethalSettings/

[solid pivot]

looks ugly

I probably opt for this layout

Then you can simply give me an instance of your config class and everything will be done automatically

[sonic vale]

hey @solid pivot question about cosmetics feature

in morecompany cosmetics also showed on masked enemies

i think based of the player it copies from

will it work here as well?

[solid pivot]

no

Not yet

[sonic vale]

oh, okay
