[Deprecated] Advanced Company

[solid pivot]

so any mod you create now

will get obsolete with time

[chilly yoke]

Sorry for the random question does advancedcompany only have 3 inventory slots or is there a way to keep the default 4 alongside the clothing slots

[solid pivot]

I usually dont touch unfinished stuff because of that

[turbid crescent]

mm

makes sense

[solid pivot]

Go to the terminal, type perks

buy Carry bags

@chilly yoke

You start with 500XP. 4th slot costs 500XP

you can however decide to go another route and keep playing with 3 slots

[turbid crescent]

aw hell naw who dun messed up the apparatus spelling with one of my mods

[chilly yoke]

thank you for the response!

[turbid crescent]

the dev is the best mod dev of all time. they are great

[wild silo]

fyi some of those kinda exist as mods already. you get randomly berserking turrets with ghostcodes and there are several out there doing something when you take the apparatice. from bracken hunting you down, radiation poisoning to red light and dramatic music

@turbid crescent btw check your pm about that windows situation

[solid pivot]

Pretty much 95% finished beta dropping soon

So is MoreCompany really broken?

[turbid crescent]

whats the one that does the turrets, i know about the other ones.

[turbid crescent]

i dont know, it seems to be working just fine for me

[rapid hollow]

nah, it was just zeekeers playing with us

and people going to conclusions too quickly

lauching the game in v47 just set everyone's volume and sens to 0

[turbid crescent]

yeah, same with me.

[rapid hollow]

and everyone went oh yeah my game is broken

[turbid crescent]

gave me a heart attack

[wild silo]

ghostCodes 'haunts players' by sending terminal codes. not directly dependent on apparatice but it has an option to go crazy with codes when your character's insanity is high and then it has a higher chance to trigger turrets to go berserk mode

[turbid crescent]

does it happen more often when the apparatus is taken out?

[wild silo]

not directly no. that's why I said kinda. but when you're last carrying it out your insanity will likely be high.

[solid pivot]

New beta in a couple secs

[turbid crescent]

🔥

ill be here to test it asap, give you feedback.

[turbid crescent]

should i disable morecompany though?

[solid pivot]

New in this build:

• Join late while on moon (going into spectate mode) and syncing all items
• Compatible with v47

For the beta? No

No need to

[turbid crescent]

ok

[solid pivot]

Probably some other small bugfixes too

Probably also hid some new bugs

The most stable version of the new netcode so far

[stiff galleon]

The scanable value still not same as end day HUD scrap value

[solid pivot]

It never was?

Show me a screenshot of vanilla game where the scan on the terminal shows the same value

[stiff galleon]

Hmm maybe I'm stupid give me a second

[solid pivot]

num3 += Mathf.Clamp(random.Next(array[num5].itemProperties.minValue, array[num5].itemProperties.maxValue), array[num5].scrapValue - 6 * num5, array[num5].scrapValue + 9 * num5);

This is the value calculation

the part random.Next() should have you thinking :)

It takes a random value of what the items present COULD be worth

And doesnt take into account the value modifier

And there is a 0.4 or so value modifier applied by standard

So if an item can be worth 100 - 200

in actuality it can only be worth 40 - 80

But the scanner will stille use 100 - 200

[stiff galleon]

Ah that's make sense

[eternal ivy]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1966720/view/3882730411609737888

[solid pivot]

The scanner usually shows around 2.5x the value on the planet

[stiff galleon]

I will try new beta when I wake up. To see if the 0 collected bug still can be represent or not

[solid pivot]

0 collected?

[stiff galleon]

Yeah sometimes we collect scrap and after leave it show 0

But sometimes is working

[turbid crescent]

how much damage does the missile launcher do?

[eternal ivy]

None?

[stiff galleon]

I guess 0? cause my friends trigger it many times in the ship but we don't get any damage

[turbid crescent]

i was under the assumption that if you shot a firework at a spider it would die

but i guess not

[solid pivot]

No, its a tool for distraction

will hurt team mates tho

[turbid crescent]

ah

makes sense

[stiff galleon]

It does???

[turbid crescent]

because i shot a baboon hawk in the face and he started mauling me

[rapid hollow]

i've killed a couple yeah

pro tip dont fire when inside the ship

[stiff galleon]

straight strike or?

[rapid hollow]

ig

gun safety 101 is to not point at your teammates anyways

[stiff galleon]

That's why we don't get hurt, never straight strike a teammate before

I think I will become the threat 🙂

[solid pivot]

ITs just 10 damage tho

I think

Any feedback already for the latest beta?

[sonic vale]

you can enter one single command to powershell to activate windows, but of course i won't recommend it for legal reasons 😄

[solid pivot]

There will also be the following stuff for devs out there

[sonic vale]

@solid pivot how hard it will be to release beta as separate thunderstore entity so i can already include it into my modpack?

[solid pivot]

public interface IItemSynchronisationHandler<T>
{
    void Read(T item);
    void Apply(T item);
    void Read(FastBufferReader reader);
    void Write(FastBufferWriter writer);
}
public static void AddItemType<T>(IItemSynchronisationHandler<T> synchronisationHandler)

public interface ISyncHandler
{
    string GetIdentifier();
    void WriteDataToPlayerJoiningLobby(FastBufferWriter writer);
    void ReadDataFromJoiningLobby(FastBufferReader reader);
    void WriteDataToHostBeforeJoining(FastBufferWriter writer);
    void ReadDataFromClientBeforeJoining(FastBufferReader reader);
}
public static void AddSyncHandler(ISyncHandler syncHandler)

[eternal ivy]

It's easy but pointless.

[solid pivot]

So if you ever have the need for complex sync handling at lobby join time

Have fun

This is needed for late join on moon to synchronize

An example code:

        internal class RocketLaucherSynchronisationHandler : IItemSynchronisationHandler<RocketLauncher>
        {
            public int Ammo;
            public void Apply(RocketLauncher item)
            {
                item.Ammo = Ammo;
            }

            public void Read(RocketLauncher item)
            {
                Ammo = item.Ammo;
            }

            public void Read(FastBufferReader reader)
            {
                reader.ReadValue(out Ammo);
            }

            public void Write(FastBufferWriter writer)
            {
                writer.WriteValueSafe(Ammo);
            }
        }

That way late joining players will have the correct Ammo amount shown :)

[rigid goblet]

im guessing bulletproof vest is some sort of armor

[eternal ivy]

Crazy.

[solid pivot]

Unbelievable

Are you sure about that?

I mean there is a description of it on the README

But why bothering to read it?

Its not like I worked multiple hours on a very detailled Readme

[sonic vale]

i want this

[solid pivot]

No need

Increase Speed and reduce incoming damage

You outrun them easily

[sonic vale]

yeah, that works too, but what if you have money but no xp yet

[solid pivot]

:p

[sonic vale]

so that's an option

[solid pivot]

Theeen

git gud

[plush fern]

Bees are hardly even a problem with max sprint speed/endurance

[eternal ivy]

Then just wait when you're done with hauling scrap and grab it before leaving.

[rapid hollow]

beekeeper from lgu

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/959924579340533822.webp?size=48&name=necoarcwink&quality=lossless

[sonic vale]

using both lgu and advcom is way too much i think

as they are overlapping in many places

[eternal ivy]

LGU upgrades being done through store/chat is ugly anyway.

[sonic vale]

yeah, and LGU loves to desync all the time

especially for late joiners

[solid pivot]

btw

everything regarding items is synced basically

I probably will add this sync to all clients joining btw

[sonic vale]

IsInElevator

[solid pivot]

Why only use it for late joiners?

[sonic vale]

🤩

[solid pivot]

I heard there are problems with sync in vanilla too

[sonic vale]

#bring_elevator_back

[solid pivot]

Thats from the game itself, when the game still had an elevator

My sync might resolve those sync bugs in vanilla too

Same with the storage I think

if you open it before a player joins its not synced I think

Will be fully synced with my mod

(I hope)

[sonic vale]

this is so must have that i don't sure why game author himself not implemented it in the first place

and late join as well

but wait, there's more

we had epic desync once

one player said he took off with the ship

and others was still landed

and we still seen that one in the ship

but he said that he's in space

lol

[solid pivot]

Honest answer?

[sonic vale]

yeah

[solid pivot]

Amateur

The netcode of this game is so damn broken

[sonic vale]

that's what i was thinking as well

syncing shit is the first thing you need in any multiplayer game

[solid pivot]

And it seems like there is no interest in hiring a team

[sonic vale]

at least there's modding

devs of another popular game about ghosts banned modding altogether and spent some time to implement fucking anticheat

it was like 3 years ago

almost nothing changed in the game since then

[nova ingot]

Oh something did change: it got even more boring and the update cycles extended to thrice as long

[sonic vale]

exactly

[solid pivot]

Yea :)

[rapid hollow]

is this the same game in which the devs cant for the love of all that is holy figure out shadows not being #000000?

[sonic vale]

yeah, that one

[rapid hollow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/710316430884864003/803567797082259486/awesome.gif

[sonic vale]

i mean it's a coop game, you supposed to have fun, right?

anticheat, lol

[solid pivot]

You are right. Shadows are bascially negative with HDR

But you have a rank! @sonic vale

You could cheat that! :<

Unimagineable!

[sonic vale]

oh no!

[solid pivot]

In a non competitive game

Anti cheat in a non competitive game

[rapid hollow]

have fun getting banned for not wanting to grind

[sonic vale]

this is horrible

[solid pivot]

I mean it makes sense if there is a serious problem with griefing or anything

The Forest had to deal with a lot of griefers

[nova ingot]

Me when my 2640 level gets wiped and turned into a barely noticeable badge and I have to grind x4 as long to get upgrades that were on par to the old equipment

[solid pivot]

Minecraft the same

[sonic vale]

yes, and no, you can always make vanilla lobbies with separate rank and whatsoever

easy solution on the surface

[rapid hollow]

cant have players having advantage (extra slot) by not using lights

nooooo way man

[sonic vale]

they think their game is more competitive than csgo, or something

[rapid hollow]

oh sick they're actually working on something

might see that in 5 years

ok i was joking abt 5 years but it checks out i think

[bleak frigate]

just sayin', all of 2024 roadmap shouldve been done at year 2

game is dead

[sonic vale]

i had gmod community with several servers back in the days

we had more coding progress in one month

with 3 devs

[rapid hollow]

anyone tried out demonologist? was fun for a couple of games but overall didnt feel replayable enough to keep playing instead of the p game

[bleak frigate]

the main creator of phas is stubborn, espiecally he hates mod support

[bleak frigate]

yeah i like it, its more scarier than phas but the connection issues is the bigger gripe

both demonologist and phas have the same replay value, which is minimal

[rapid hollow]

welllllllllllllll.....

[hallow mortar]

I hate you

[solid pivot]

Wait for my game

[bleak frigate]

👀

[solid pivot]

You see that I care about other modders with my sync stuff

[rapid hollow]

i wouldnt say lethal has too much replayability

[solid pivot]

And I know how to use interfaces

[rapid hollow]

in vanilla

[sonic vale]

there's nothing to do in vanilla

[solid pivot]

Making classes being a contract between the class and my game code is the best way to ensure extendability.

[rapid hollow]

but overall lethal creates a lot more opportunities for funny moments and whatnot and id agree that its better

[bleak frigate]

no-no lethal is only replayable because of mod support. phas and demonologist are against mod support

[solid pivot]

Lethal is getting boring after around 20-30 hrs

imho

[rapid hollow]

true, i wouldnt play vanilla rn

and i have like 100 clocked in with mods

[solid pivot]

It always makes fun with the right people ofcourse

[sonic vale]

you know what reignited our fun in modded lethal?

hiding weather

it's 10x more fun that way

[bleak frigate]

lethal is only boring because friends remove the scare factor tbh, play alone and lethal is a complete diff game

[eternal ivy]

What's a weird take.

[bleak frigate]

i like adding horror mods like insanity remastered to make the game more scary

[solid pivot]

But reading the changelog for Lethal

It seems like Zeekeers is overwhelmed and still not really prepared to follow up on the success

Even feels somewhat intimidated by it

[eternal ivy]

How old is he?

[solid pivot]

I think early 20s

[eternal ivy]

Makes sense.

[sonic vale]

it's okay until he decides to do something stupid like ban mods, lol

[bleak frigate]

thats not a shocker tbh

[sonic vale]

leaderboards are already here, beware

[bleak frigate]

his game blew up quick

[solid pivot]

Time to grow up when you make millions tbh :3

Start looking for people to help you

Hire them

[bleak frigate]

i just hope zeekers is finding devs to help him, thats something phas didnt do

[solid pivot]

Remote work is very common nowadays

[bleak frigate]

and thats what killed phas

[eternal ivy]

Need to grow up to do that too.

[solid pivot]

Yea, like I said

If you start making millions its about time to grow up :D

[bleak frigate]

i want this game to survive

[sonic vale]

it will

as long as there's modding

[solid pivot]

I look for competition with my game. Dont wanna kill LC :D

Co existence is preferrable

[sonic vale]

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

oh yikes

i have to wait until all mods update i guess

[bleak frigate]

[eternal ivy]

Huh? Is that on quit?

[sonic vale]

nah, that's on start

[nova ingot]

Most based take

[sonic vale]

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

weird decision to have challenge moon as separate save

i thought you can fly there freely as normal

[eternal ivy]

It's not weird considering it's tied to leadberboards and shit.

[ancient sand]

Is this mod getting update at https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/PotatoePet/AdvancedCompany/

[eternal ivy]

Also, you have MC with current stable version of AC?

[ancient sand]

Because it's easier for noobs to use it with mod launcher

[eternal ivy]

No wonder you get errors.

[sonic vale]

yes, i disabled stable AC lobby code, as it's not very stable

[eternal ivy]

Um.

It's very stable.

[sonic vale]

and/or it conflicts with something

[hallow mortar]

Leader boards is an... interesting choice

To say the least

[sonic vale]

i had many cases of players not hearing each other or invisible models

[hallow mortar]

In a game with such an overwhelming nodding community

[sonic vale]

when there's more than 4

[rapid hollow]

oh lol

[sonic vale]

i heard it's fixed in beta, so i'm waiting for beta to go stable

[rapid hollow]

i like weather but only when i run adv with modifiers

without i always skip flooded

[sonic vale]

flooded is fun

[rapid hollow]

esp when it desyncs

yeah

[sonic vale]

you're using late company by any chance?

[rapid hollow]

i was when it happened, but i've seen it reported on main/vanilla

[sonic vale]

i'm using shiplobby instead, and since then there was not a single desync

[rapid hollow]

i just decided to drop all the hot join mods altogether

waiting for potatoe to release his patch

[sonic vale]

that's for sure

can't wait to include beta into my modpack

but i need it on thunderstore

[solid pivot]

Scary

while (true)... 2 times

within each other

[rapid hollow]

i really wish there was an alternative to r2modman also, this thing is so laggy its unbearable

[ancient sand]

To much nested code

xD

[solid pivot]

Very scary code

[sonic vale]

indeed

[hallow mortar]

I have never had a single desync issue with shiplobby

Use that

[ancient sand]

Will not pass the coda analyzer

[solid pivot]

But reader will fail with AccessViolation

[ancient sand]

😛

[solid pivot]

If it ever runs too long

[sonic vale]

errors only after v47, was none before that

so it's not related

just outdated mods i guess

[eternal ivy]

It is, because I don't have such errors on v47.

[eternal ivy]

Try Thunderstore?

[sonic vale]

there's also that

[eternal ivy]

That's not AC though.

[sonic vale]

and i'm not sure what mod it's even related to

yeah

[eternal ivy]

It says Mimics.

[sonic vale]

oh, silly me then, i thought about vanilla masked mimics, but they're clearly not called mimics

it's a mod about fire doors, yeah

[rapid hollow]

Basically the same issues with long waiting times when you search up mods

[eternal ivy]

Why are you searching mods through a mod manager?

Search them on the website.

[sonic vale]

https://i.imgur.com/Cdb1mnJ.png

the funny thing is that advanced company still works

even after all that errors

[rapid hollow]

im looking through my installed mods

[eternal ivy]

On my end, there's one erroe that was there even in v45.

[eternal ivy]

Ah, that. Yeah.

I still adore r2 because of config editor.

I don't know of any other moddable game that has such a convenient setup for configs.

[sonic vale]

yeah, r2 is less bloatware as well

there's only one thing that pet peeve me in r2

that you can't go to the mod page when clicking version number in r2

it's always 404

[rapid hollow]

its good overall but kinda unoptimized?

[eternal ivy]

That will be resolved.

[rapid hollow]

YEAH I LOVE THAT

[sonic vale]

so i guess almost all mods survived v47

only mimics broke

[rapid hollow]

well i must say

majority got hit with at least something minor

also, how does mod deprecation in thunderstore work? do the mods get tagged automatically or do the devs have to do it themselves?

[sonic vale]

devs

[solid pivot]

migrating my red locust sync to an own class :D

If everything works everybody can sync like I do with the lobby handler :3

[sonic vale]

who's red locust

[solid pivot]

The bees

[sonic vale]

internal name for locust swarm?

oh

but they're not red

[solid pivot]

I change the double while :<

I dont like it

Much better now

Maybe should add those too

To really test the system

When its able to sync that, it can sync everything

Probably need a couple of callbacks tho

<3 Interfaces

But of course the system requires all mods registering synchronizers to be present on client and server

Wouldnt make sense to sync something if a client doesnt have the same mod installed

It will have some fallback behaviour tho

[sonic vale]

i wish i knew OOP

[solid pivot]

An Interface is a contract

simple as that

[sonic vale]

i can't grasp concept as classes and all that stuff

i only coded in lua

and it's plain scripts

[solid pivot]

All entries are writing their length

in case of emergency

So reader can skip a block

Interfaces are pretty simple btw

This is a contract. It ensures that if my class has that interface

I will have an implementation for the methods defined

public void ConnectClientToPlayerObject(global::GameNetcodeStuff.PlayerControllerB player);

So my class can now know when it recieves an object with that interface

that it can call ConnectClientToPlayerObject(player)

As you can see here

SyncHandlers[i] is IConnectClientToPlayerObject ?
If yes, I can call that method

Its not really an OOP paradigm per se

Its one of strictly typed languages

Or at least typed at all

[sonic vale]

yeah, lua is not typed

[solid pivot]

In JS you can simply call whatever you want

Makes code very hard to maintain tho

And hard to extend code without first studying a documentation

The code with types etc. basically documents a lot itself

[sonic vale]

makes me wish to try to learn C# again

i had some practice in college, but pretty simple stuff

[worthy geode]

as someone who does but also knows other paradigms; OOP is overrated at best

it gets very... spaghettified when you embrace it

lots of "wait why the hell did this happen, how is this code being run"

interfaces, by virtue of not being very OOP-y, are quite nice I like them a lot

they're just the vague idea of composition moreso than any one paradigm

[solid pivot]

So, nearly working

So AdvancedCompany will become the by far most advanced lobby solution

Its in the name

[autumn halo]

did anyone send you logs for v47 errors?

[solid pivot]

No but if you have logs for 1.0.10 I dont care at all

That version is heavily outdated

[sonic vale]

by the way disabled MC and AC still throws same error

i could gladly use beta, but i need it in muh thunderstore

to sync modpack with everyone

and yeah, i found what's broken indeed - if everyone dies then there's error in save loot code and camera stuck on ship doors forever

so, uhm, i guess i have to go back to lgu for now :C

i'll gladly update when new version comes out, can't wait

unless LGU is broken as well, lol

[autumn halo]

you're still on beta for this tho?

what's the most recent version

0.0.103?

[plush fern]

It's best to assume that unless it's been updated it's potentially broken until proven otherwise

[solid pivot]

For anyone impatient, I am open to sending you the whole source code so you can fix it yourself

[Message:AdvancedCompany] Reading block AdvCmpny.Lobby with size 1251
[Message:AdvancedCompany] Pointer: 115
[Message:AdvancedCompany] Reading block AdvCmpny.RedLocust with size 4
[Message:AdvancedCompany] Pointer: 1392
[Message:AdvancedCompany] Reading block AdvCmpny.Items with size 4
[Message:AdvancedCompany] Pointer: 1418

SyncHandlers working

Just FYI: That wont change anything from the last beta, just giving modders more possibilities.

And making my progress smoother

I still got nearly 0 feedback for the beta tho

so I have to get some friends together before I can release it

I hoped for some people to test the mod, cant release such a big update untested

Nice

item sync working again

This also means when you join lobbys you wont hear that sound of many items dropping you sometimes can hear

And I think stuff will stay in the storage

nah, stuff in the storage is still weird

👀

[autumn halo]

v47

[solid pivot]

*ignore*

[autumn halo]

oh ok

[solid pivot]

Already explained that you are playing in a version with 10k lines of code less

I am not hired by you to fix the mod for you in time to play. I am working on a huge update and have no time to fix an old version

[autumn halo]

im not tripping mate my bad

[solid pivot]

Beta doesnt have this error, enjoy the beta

[autumn halo]

that is the beta.

[solid pivot]

Its working pretty good

Nah, it isnt :P

Show log of plugins loading

[autumn halo]

0.0.103

[solid pivot]

[autumn halo]

i didnt see that in the chat

[solid pivot]

#1186884307332108339 message

You're welcome and dont worry. Its just that sometimes it feels like 10 people asking the same thing when I stated so many times that I am working on a huge update and cant simply fix the old one

I do tend to get grumpy when its 3AM and I am heading for 7AM again

[sonic vale]

i wish there was proper pins for posts in discord threads

they're pain

[solid pivot]

There are but I cant pin messages

OP should be able to, yea

[eternal ivy]

Was about to say.

[solid pivot]

I am wondering

With LateCompany. Are enemies synced correctly?

[sonic vale]

at least i've never seen anything suspicious

but i'm using shiplobby lately

[solid pivot]

Now having to analyze all these objects

for desyncs on moon

I can remove a lot of them tho

[hallow mortar]

I and friends only ever used shiplobby with a shit ton of other mods. The only sync issue we've ever experienced is lethal things toolbelt being weird before it was updated

I'm just assuming late company sucks

[solid pivot]

Wanna see something funny in vanilla?

Open a lobby, turn off the light, let someone join

not even that is synced

[sonic vale]

wut, i was pretty sure that light was synced

at least some friends was complaining about lights once or twice

[solid pivot]

Same stuff will happen when you have the other late lobby mod and turn light off and let someone join

USING the light is synced

not the state of it

Some items still drop down a level but those two dont :D

[turbid crescent]

does advanced company cause the terminal to make noises at all?

[solid pivot]

No

[turbid crescent]

ok, thanks.

[sonic vale]

you mean ominous beeping?

[solid pivot]

Not that I would know

[sonic vale]

check ghost codes mod, it's probably it

[turbid crescent]

OHH

why does it do that?

[sonic vale]

it does it every time it opens or closes some doors by itself

you can disable beeping in config

[turbid crescent]

ok

thanks

[analog radish]

ghostcodes

[solid pivot]

Yea, cant do anything about item placement it seems. Well, onto the next sync topic

[solid pivot]

Lot of stuff to synchronize

Other is ship lights currently

I wont synchronize the spray paint decals tho

I could but well thats a lot of traffic

transferring textures over the web

[analog radish]

v47 reverted your mod's DeathScreen.
The original is now shown

[solid pivot]

Beta?

Because voice should be modded, I already fixed the performance report locally

Handshake is around 4000 bytes btw

so 4kb

yay

Synced baby

Synced by late joining on the moon

The game is now basically 95% synced when joining in the middle of a round

stuff which doesnt work yet:

• Teleporter being used
• Map screen (I think at least)
• Spray paint
• I think LightningRod wont show itself extended when it was done before joining

All other stuff should be synced if enemies were never a problem

Firework rockets wont sync when they are shot while you are joining :D

Most unsynced stuff is very temporary stuff

But the basic state of the game is synced very well now

Lights of the ship, state of doors, state of lockpicking progress etc.

state of trigger animators

[analog radish]

No, Thunderstore version

[solid pivot]

And just so you know

LateCompany is basically 50 lines of code

To make this happen

I had to write around 1000 lines of code

[analog radish]

I think the beta should work fine

[analog radish]

wow

[solid pivot]

AdvancedCompany now has very advanced lobby netcode

[analog radish]

that's great

[solid pivot]

I do have to sort out some bugs I know tho. Maybe I will release the next beta to Thunderstore then

nobody is testing here

So people will have to live with a potentially broken version

[analog radish]

I will gladly wait for the moment when it is published normally, take your time

New short description btw:
The most advanced and by far most stable lobby mod with perfect additions for your LethalCompany adventure. Including nearly perfectly synched late joining into lobbies. Includes cosmetics compability. Fully configurable in-game with presets.

I will make the next release 1.1.0 for now. The content update 1.2.0 will still come

But this update is significant

[stiff galleon]

Morning

Beta is not turning to online stable on thunderstore right?

[solid pivot]

I will push it soon

as nobody is testing

[stiff galleon]

Not yet

Ah ok if I runnibg into problem I will let you know

[solid pivot]

For now the endscreen will show the spectating players as being dead btw

But it wont cost you any penalty

[stiff galleon]

You fixed that?

Awesome

At least I didn't running into problem with my friends last night

[analog radish]

Just to prevent possible bugs.
Is it still configurable to only allow people to join when in orbit?

[stiff galleon]

With 103 haven't try 104yet

[stiff galleon]

No

[analog radish]

configurable, mb

[solid pivot]

It was never configurable so far

[stiff galleon]

It will let people join the game when others is on the moon

[solid pivot]

The option was hidden

To let people join on moon

[analog radish]

it's still?

[solid pivot]

It was activated by default for testing

It will show up in the menu, default deactivated

[analog radish]

I see

thx

[solid pivot]

Keep open will be activated by default

What I said about ship light and storage etc.

also applies to orbit joins btw

Everything is synched there

With the exception of spray paint

[stiff galleon]

Hey did you fix lightning rod bug in config and moons modifier?

Just want make sure of that

[analog radish]

ok

[solid pivot]

What Moons Modifier?

[stiff galleon]

Weather

[solid pivot]

It works

Like before

[stiff galleon]

Config not I think?

[solid pivot]

Nothing changed there at all

[stiff galleon]

I changed it into 180% but I can't save it

Give me a second to get rid of headache and I will show you. I sleep too less...

Only 5 hours and I have to make a speech for my final exam

Painful

Here's video

[lost python]

welp v47 is out time to see if my modpack still works

[solid pivot]

1.1.0

• Introduced the first API calls:
  • AdvancedCompany.Lib.Mod.RegisterRequiredMod()
  • AdvancedCompany.Lib.Flavour.SetLogo()
  • AdvancedCompany.Lib.Sync.AddSyncHandler<T>()
  • AdvancedCompany.Lib.Sync.SyncHandler.ItemSynchronization.AddItemType<T>()
• 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).
  • 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.
  • 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 custom synchronization code to prevent the errors of past mods.
• 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
• When dying in a lobby without Save progress, the inventory slots will correctly reset now
• Fixed a bug which resulted in the activated flashlight not being shown active any longer when dropping an inactive one.
• Fixed a bug which resulted in the level screen not showing
• Fixed [playerNum] appearing in chat
• Fixed radar targets having the wrong name
• Fixed disconnected players appearing on endscreen.

Probably have missed something :<

[stiff galleon]

Yeah this one

[lost python]

Damn

[solid pivot]

Only needs to be done once

[analog radish]

love all the changes

[lost python]

So I do have a question, does the currently released version's progress in player perks be transferred to the new update?

[solid pivot]

I guess

yea

[lost python]

Nice

Currently, I am pretty much wiped

cause i guess it is a beta build or something

[solid pivot]

Do you have Save in Profile activated?

[lost python]

Nope, it is off

Okay so I did some testing for the settings stuff. I made a new preset and then deleted it, after which, I tried to Save as new preset with the same name and it shows this

Not sure if it is intentional or not

[solid pivot]

Yea, its a bug

Fixed it locally already

[lost python]

👍

okay so I assume that the "join when in moon" isn't on this beta build just yet

since I only see this option

[solid pivot]

Release will come shortly

I will mark it as a beta

1.1.0 Beta 1 (1.0.99)

Will come available shortly here:
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/PotatoePet/AdvancedCompany/

README wasnt updated yet to reflect all the changes

This update is gigantic

Oh, forgot one thing

• XP screen will show again

[plush fern]

yay

I did miss my exp. Just didnt say anything cause it was a minor thing lol

[lost python]

Not sure why this happens, I tested the beta build with the mods I have on this profile code:

018cecf4-9709-9bac-3470-57d788178ca8

Just want to know why exactly this error occurs is all

[tight rune]

i've tried two times now but i haven't gotten that error with the beta #1186884307332108339 message

[solid pivot]

[HarmonyPatch(typeof(global::RoundManager), "SpawnScrapInLevel")]
[HarmonyPrefix]
public static void ChangeMaxScrapValue(global::RoundManager __instance)
{
if (!ServerConfiguration.Instance.Moons.ActivateWeatherMultipliers)
return;

its a prefix

for weather multiplier

[tight rune]

i've read some of the new features of AC, but i'm a bit confused. Will we still need something like ShipLobby or LateCompany or no

[solid pivot]

No

No longer needed, these mods are obsolete now

[tight rune]

nice

[solid pivot]

At least when you use AdvancedCompany

With its ultra AdvancedLobbies

At least if everything works as intended

For other mod developers, here is a simple synchronizer for lobby synchronization:

using AdvancedCompany.Lib.SyncCallbacks;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Unity.Netcode;
using UnityEngine;
using AdvancedCompany.Lib.SyncHandler;

namespace AdvancedCompany.Network.Sync
{
    internal class OtherSynchronization : ISyncHandler, INetworkObjectsPlaced
    {
        public bool ShipLightsOn;
        
        public string GetIdentifier()
        {
            return "AdvCmpny.Other";
        }

        public void NetworkObjectsPlaced()
        {
            var shipLights = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<ShipLights>();
            shipLights.SetShipLightsOnLocalClientOnly(ShipLightsOn);
        }

        public void ReadDataFromClientBeforeJoining(FastBufferReader reader)
        {
        }

        public void ReadDataFromJoiningLobby(FastBufferReader reader)
        {
            reader.ReadValueSafe(out ShipLightsOn);
        }

        public void WriteDataToHostBeforeJoining(FastBufferWriter writer)
        {
        }

        public void WriteDataToPlayerJoiningLobby(FastBufferWriter writer)
        {
            var shipLights = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<ShipLights>();
            writer.WriteValueSafe(shipLights.areLightsOn);
        }
    }
}

I will also add some more stuff to it so you can disconnect players with a custom message

After that I can basically put the entire handshake into my LobbyDataSynchronization :)

I mean, most patches are looking like this by now regarding the lobby:

        [HarmonyPatch(typeof(Unity.Netcode.ConnectionRequestMessage), "Serialize")]
        [HarmonyPostfix]
        static void WriteConnectData(Unity.Netcode.ConnectionRequestMessage __instance, FastBufferWriter writer, int targetVersion)
        {
            Plugin.Log.LogMessage("Doing a handshake with the server.");
            Handshake = new Sync();
            Handshake.WriteDataToHostBeforeJoining(writer);
        }

This one is a bit more complicated due to the message format:

        [HarmonyPatch(typeof(Unity.Netcode.ConnectionApprovedMessage), "Deserialize")]
        [HarmonyPostfix]
        static void ReadLobbyData(Unity.Netcode.ConnectionApprovedMessage __instance, ref bool __result, FastBufferReader reader, NetworkContext context, int receivedMessageVersion)
        {
            if (__result)
            {
                Game.Player.Reset();
                Plugin.Log.LogMessage("Reading ApprovedMessage");
                var prevPos = reader.Position;
                reader.Seek(reader.Length - 4);
                reader.ReadValueSafe(out int handshakePos);
                reader.Seek(handshakePos);
                Handshake.ReadDataFromJoiningLobby(reader);
                reader.Seek(prevPos);
            }
        }

And I want the synchronizer to be able to handle all of this

Then this can be put into the right place too

Seeing the changelog online is weird xD

Its so big

[tight rune]

big indeed

[solid pivot]

Looking forward for feedback and expecting a lot of bugs

[autumn halo]

there was a teleporter issue with ac?

i tried to debug one and it persisted even when i took all my mods out and went away when i progressed the round ig

[lost python]

huh that's weird then, i am not sure why this is happening (I am using v48 to test it)

[pulsar wolf]

how did you go about having models attach to the player when they're in specific slots? I'm trying to make a backpacks mod that adds more slots, but have no idea how to attach it to the player when held

[solid pivot]

This is btw how you add flavour:

using UnityEngine;
using BepInEx;
using System;
using BepInEx.Logging;

namespace AdvancedCompany
{
    [BepInPlugin(GUID, "AdvancedCompany.Flavours.MostLethalCompany", Version)]
    public class Plugin : BaseUnityPlugin
    {
        public const string Version = "1.0.0";
        private const string GUID = "com.potatoepet.AdvancedCompany.Flavours.MostLethalCompany";
        internal static ManualLogSource Log;

        private void Awake()
        {
            try
            {
                Log = base.Logger;
                var assetBundleFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(typeof(Plugin).Assembly.Location), "mostlethalcompany");
                var assetBundle = AssetBundle.LoadFromFile(assetBundleFile);
                var logoTex = assetBundle.LoadAsset<Texture2D>("Assets/ModPacks/MostLethalCompany.png");
                AdvancedCompany.Lib.Flavour.SetLogo(logoTex);
                Log.LogInfo("Added flavour!");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Log.LogError("Error while adding flavour :(!");
                Log.LogError(ex);
            }
        }
    }
}

Maybe interesting for mod pack creators

[solid pivot]

Either parenting it to a bone or like I do: Use the skinned mesh of the game and work in Blender and add weights and stuff :3

Huge work to get the skinned mesh working etc. tho

You also have to rebind it in C#

At least I had to do so so far

[pulsar wolf]

huge question, your armor is detachable right?

like you can drop it on the ground?

[solid pivot]

Yes? Its a SkinnedMeshRenderer

Using the rig of the game to conform to the body

[pulsar wolf]

that sounds easy enough, unless weight painting it breaks my models

thank you :)

[solid pivot]

Flavour confirmed working :D

[pulsar wolf]

mmm flavour text

[solid pivot]

Need to put it a bit lower tho

So yea, Modpacks can now add their own logo

[pulsar wolf]

hopefully nobody finds out a way to make that malicious

[solid pivot]

I dont really care what people put there, as long as its clear that the modpack is powered by AdvancedCompany

The most advanced lobby mod

[pulsar wolf]

dropped your crown there

[solid pivot]

I really hope the feedback is positive when I wake up again

[tight rune]

what why does it say v47 on yours

[solid pivot]

But I am sure I will have 1000s of complaints

[tight rune]

shouldn't it be v48

[pulsar wolf]

v47 just came out today

[tight rune]

for some reason mine is v48

prob some other mod

[pulsar wolf]

v48 just came out recently

[tight rune]

also i dont see the flavored text

[solid pivot]

There was a 800 Byte update

[tight rune]

ah

[pulsar wolf]

the flavour text is modded

[solid pivot]

Of course you dont, because you dont have a flavour mod installed

Now it says v48

[pulsar wolf]

mmm flavour

[solid pivot]

Bacon Flavour

its 8AM here tho

worked through the whole night

[tight rune]

dang now i want to order some bacon

[solid pivot]

To bring you this excellent release

[pulsar wolf]

release the flavour

https://tenor.com/view/blm-gif-25815938

NOW

[solid pivot]

Next mod I will kill is better saves

By having ADVANCED Saves

[pulsar wolf]

and then ADVANCED things

[solid pivot]

Already there

My items

[tight rune]

i've removed that mod due to compatibility issues

hopefully yours is compat

[solid pivot]

I would love to open up the equipment system but cant provide game files and stuff

[pulsar wolf]

I can somehow find my way in >:)

maybe dip your toe into ADVANCED moons?

[solid pivot]

Right now you cant really tbh

Nah, thats for my own game

I will end the dev of this mod

Its basically a showcase of what I am capable of :3

LC is limitting me too much

[lost python]

HOLY SHIT YES PLEASE

[solid pivot]

I need space to expand

[pulsar wolf]

you are a powerful being

[solid pivot]

And its basically free marketing

[lost python]

BetterSaves KILLS a lot of shit

I cannot for the life of me use it anymore

[solid pivot]

Dunno why it does that tbh XD

Seems pretty straight forward

[pulsar wolf]

tis probably a port forwarding issue

saving in the mod, vs saving in vanilla

[solid pivot]

just continue the numbering?

Place a savenames.txt besides it

[pulsar wolf]

I'm sure that would work tbh

[solid pivot]

People are very uncreative it seems

Would ensure max compability

Even if you remove the mod, your base 3 save files will still be there

[pulsar wolf]

[solid pivot]

And one other thing I would love to do but probably wont

Replace the extremly ugly vanilla settings window.

[pulsar wolf]

very ugly window for sure

[tight rune]

trying it out rn

[solid pivot]

To fit my design

[tight rune]

might have a problem with host seeing their own cosmetics ingame

will try further

might just be problems with other mods

[solid pivot]

For me its working

Or do you mean that host cant see their own cosmetics in like mirror mod etc?

[lost python]

you guys wanna do multiplayer testing with the mod?

[tight rune]

we use TooManyEmotes, with that we see 3D

[solid pivot]

You can open a public lobby

[tight rune]

same for clients i think

[solid pivot]

You will only see peoples lobbys with AC 1.0.99

[tight rune]

uhh we use a decent amount of mods so not sure if you wanna but if you do here's:
r2modman profile code: 018ced0c-3968-74c9-6564-d7c8cea1c3b5
lobby code: 109775242092025938

[lost python]

yeah for some reason the error in the log still exists for me on this profile i have

maybe i should try to make a new profile to see if it persists

[valid flume]

help

[solid pivot]

Or reset game files, dunno :D

[lost python]

[solid pivot]

Wont help you, thats not a very precise error report

Attach a player.log next time

[valid flume]

:(

how do i do that

[solid pivot]

%appdata%/../LocalLow/ZeekerssRBLX/Lethal Company/

Thats the location

I will sleep now tho

[tight rune]

so

[solid pivot]

Its 8:25AM here

[tight rune]

we can see each others emote

but not our own

[pulsar wolf]

looks like you have other mods that add slots, maybe turn off reserve slots

not sure if that's compatible

[solid pivot]

This error in general comes when the player perks couldnt be read

But what exactly led to that, dunno without a log

[valid flume]

it was before the update

[pulsar wolf]

maybe updates break things

[solid pivot]

And just a reminder: I did not release 1.0.99 because I think its ready. I released it because its the only way to get people to test it

I want to add that mimics keep the cosmetics of the player etc.

But before adding and adding more stuff I need tests

[tight rune]

i'm not sure what people meant that mimics were not using cosmetics of other players, there were updates that says they added that but even before that update we already saw mimics having our exact cosmetics

[pulsar wolf]

there's a mod that fixes it the cosmetic issue, pretty sure it's https://discord.com/channels/1168655651455639582/1184403394660663326

[tight rune]

ah yeah

we use that one

[pulsar wolf]

I'm sure it's just a small bug

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lost python]

Okay I see what mod causes my issue now 💀

[tight rune]

Lobby: Public
Players: Papersama, Echo

expected behaviour: Crew should have Echo instead of that qwq or Jebskie

i assume this is the name of the last person trying to join my lobby, but got kicked because of mod/config mismatches

[lost python]

It's the Strange Objects mod and I have no idea why (because I can't really read logs)

[tight rune]

it just keeps changing lel

obvious in logs they're trying to join

[pulsar wolf]

I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean??

sounds like they just need the mods you're using

simple as that

[tight rune]

no no

bug is, the name of the crew Echo changes to other peoples name that try to join but fail

[pulsar wolf]

sounds like a base game bug

not a mod bug

[tight rune]

i see

i just haven't encountered that before

[lost python]

it's a vanilla issue yes

it will disappear when someone else joins iirc

[tight rune]

we've been playing public lobby since day 1 because some of my friends' friends join and they're not my steam friends but i've never seen this happen before even if other people try to join

[lost python]

or when the player themselves rejoin

[tight rune]

was thinking might be because of the new lobby sync

[lost python]

are you hosting rn?

[tight rune]

rehosted to friends for now

[hallow mortar]

pajama suit twice?

[pulsar wolf]

game bug

[hallow mortar]

ah

kk

[valid flume]

you right

it was reservedslots

guess i gotta wait till they fix that

gonna disable it in the meantime

[shell coyote]

can confirm its the reserved slots

[tight rune]

hmm anyone encounter list of sold items not showing dunno which causes that

[pulsar wolf]

sold items not showing?

[stiff galleon]

What version do you at

[turbid crescent]

what do you mean?

[blazing frost]

The UI doesnt seem to work with ReservedItemSlots

[lost python]

Yeah, remove ReservedItemSlots to fix it

[tight rune]

v48 and beta AC

i just have a lot of other mods thats why i askeed

[lost python]

List of sold items not showing on paycheck has been there ever since iirc

Unsure if it is a vanilla bug

[tight rune]

just the first time we also encountered

[lost python]

A first time for everything 👍

[tight rune]

a total of 9 mods updated ever since v47

[lost python]

A theory I got is that, the list of sold items don't show up since there's a lot of text

But I did not bother to confirm it cause it doesn't really matter much for my group

[tight rune]

we kept the vanilla limit to selling

[lost python]

Yeah

You can test in vanilla to see if you can reproduce it

[tight rune]

same mods, just 9 mods updated after v47

yeah

[lost python]

If you can

then that means, it's a vanilla thing

[tight rune]

for now we'll just keep on playing though

the longer we play the more we encounter

[lost python]

and has been happening since before 👍

What are your mods btw

[tight rune]

r2modman profile code: 018ced0c-3968-74c9-6564-d7c8cea1c3b5

we've replaced the bepinex version with the latest from github too

since a lot of mods ask for that

[lost python]

Never had problems with the BepInEx that is in thunderstore

[tight rune]

it also doesnt for me but the logs do bother me

[tepid crescent]

I think the problem probably comes from ReservedSlot.

[lost python]

It does

[zenith jay]

downloaded advance company, and no features are present? no extra items, no 32 players and no cosemetics

[lost python]

what is your modlist

I found out earlier that Strange Objects prevents Advanced Company to load

if you have that mod, remove it

[eternal ivy]

Congratulations on release!

[zenith jay]

oh yeh probably strange objecrts

[plush fern]

Strange Objects hasn't been updated in awhile

[lost python]

Oh yeah, we don't start with 500 Player XP anymore?

Edit: I had to reset my player

[pulsar wolf]

default starting XP value should be 500, unless you changed it

lmao

perfect timing on that edit

[lost python]

Yeah well for some reason, I have 0 XP and my previous save did not count

so I just cope and tried reset player

[pulsar wolf]

make sure save progress is off

[undone scarab]

Damn the stuff I read here sound really exciting. It's high time I added this into my modpack.

Should I know of any mods that were reported to be incompatible with Advanced Company? I'll bet 10 bucks that Lethal Expansion is one of them.

[eternal ivy]

Time to pester every cosmetic maker to make MC a soft dependency.

[turbid crescent]

is this a advanced company feature??

also how exactly do you get xp for the ship and the player?

[eternal ivy]

No.
Fulfilling quota.

[turbid crescent]

ok

thanks

[eternal ivy]

You can use MC compatible cosmetics without MC by having it installed and disabled before installing other cosmetics.

[lost python]

Strange Objects is one of them

It completely does not allow AdvancedCompany to load

prob cause it's very dated idk

Lethal Expansion has been fine with it before this update, although I don't know currently since I have LECore added

[fair delta]

3 hours tf

[split mist]

Deleted my post cuz it seems another mod is causing the issue

Haven't figured out what yet lol

[turbid crescent]

please let me know what it is when you figure it out! im having the same problem and cant seem to be making much progress.

[split mist]

Same problem as in modded moons aren't showing up?

[turbid crescent]

yup

i can still type it in and go to them, but it isnt showing on the list

[eternal ivy]

Modded moons are a menace no matter what.

[split mist]

I just figured it out, try disabling Scoopy's Variety Mod and LethalLevelLoader if you have them installed

[eternal ivy]

You'll keep have issues with them for a while.

[split mist]

Those were my issue at least

[split mist]

Yeahhh, but modded moons are so cool tho

[turbid crescent]

ah, alright. thank you so much!

[eternal ivy]

Are they? Majority of the game is spent in interiors and most content is inside them too.

There's 9 planets and 2 interiors.

[turbid crescent]

there needs to be more, kast is a perfect example as how they can affect gameplay.

[eternal ivy]

They affect the gameplay alright, by depending on LE that is in conflict with everything.

[split mist]

Same with Orion now that its been updated, vanilla moons have had the crap optimized out of them but modded allow you to interact with the surface enemies that you otherwise rarely see

[turbid crescent]

like baboon hawks

[split mist]

And to be fair, LethalExpansion has a lot of issues, but the mod dev also actively tries to fix conflicts all the time, cut him some slack /shrug

[turbid crescent]

lethal company would be so cool if there were more moons like kast

or maybe randomly generated moons

[split mist]

It's just unfortunate that modded moons and modded interiors really don't like each other right now, but we'll get to the point where that's no longer the case

[turbid crescent]

thatd be crazy

[split mist]

Does LECore help fix compatibility with modded interiors at all, or is that still an issue at the moment? I wouldn't be surprised if it does since it's much less game-altering, but I'm still curious.

[turbid crescent]

wouldnt installing lecore not help because the modded moons require le normal?

[split mist]

Nah, LECore basically internally disables normal LethalExpansion

Unless you configure it otherwise

[fair delta]

Lecore does not help with modded interiors

It will still be broken

[split mist]

Got it

[lost python]

i have LECore mainly for the fixes it does

[turbid crescent]

im almost certain that this issue will be fixed in the coming days though.

[turbid crescent]

you should test lethalleveloader, scoopys variety mod, and custom moons to see if it works.

[lost python]

i have lethallevelloader and scoopys (because scoopys need that as dependency)

i have secret labs as custom moon

[turbid crescent]

do the custom moons show up on the list?

[split mist]

Okay, now I'm having a weird issue where my perk settings for AdvancedCompany are being increased with a billion zeroes

[lost python]

this? @turbid crescent

[split mist]

Huh, yours looks different from mine though. Weird

[lost python]

what mods do you have

cause mod conflicts prob caused something

[split mist]

Yours looks like it has the default Moon catalogue, just with Secret Labs added, whereas mine just doesn't show any of the modded moons when I have LethalLevelLoader and Scoopys enabled

[lost python]

eh that's weird

[split mist]

And when I disable them, it has the LethalExpansion moon catalog (which is to say it makes the whole menu smaller)

Like this one (even though I don't have Test Moon or Old Sea Port, this is from the LethalExpansion page)

So LECore might make it compatible by changing how the modded moons are hooked into the moons menu. Not sure

[lost python]

wth is test moon and old sea port

also i have LECore just for these but I am not sure if they work so I am playtesting currently

[split mist]

Test Moon is literally a blank test moon found in the internals of LethalExpansion, Old Sea Port became Wateridge on full release

[lost python]

Hmm are there other interior mods other than SCPFoundation and Scoopy's

I wanna test other interior mods

[split mist]

Not that I've found thus far

[sour osprey]

was wondering if there would be a config possibly added for the permanent purchase of a moon in the future because i was trying to use this mod to set the prices of moons and use that mod to keep them purchased after buying them and it wasnt compatible

[eternal ivy]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/BULLETBOT/Permanent_Moons/

[lost python]

how updated is permanent moons

[sour osprey]

i have no idea

[sour osprey]

yeah thats the mod i was using

completely incompatible

[eternal ivy]

I see.

[lost python]

it prob needs updating

[sour osprey]

most likely

[lost python]

this mod i mean

[sour osprey]

yea

[lost python]

have you tried it on vanilla with just that mod on

[sour osprey]

not yet but i think it has something to do with how the other mod is setup

because what i was attempting to do was make march and offense have a cost and for the other mod to remember that it was purchased

but it doesnt work for those moons

but it remembers buying the lategame moons

but only when the price setting by advanced company is disabled

so vanilla prices

[lost python]

Oh then that means

If you use mods that have the ability to change moon prices, it kills itself

[sour osprey]

yup

i checked the thread for it on the other server and nothing in a week

[lost python]

ig the mod is hardcoded for vanilla then

[sour osprey]

oh well hopefully this mod will just do everything eventually

[split mist]

Not necessarily, I think what's probably happening is:

• Advanced Company checks the config's moon price when the setting is enabled
• After buying moon, Permanent Moons changes price
• Advanced Company checks the config, doesn't match, changes moon price back

[sour osprey]

probably

[split mist]

On another note, not sure if it's an incompatibility or an issue with Advanced Company, but whenever I disable perks, this happens

Just adds a bunch of zeroes to the base and change perk info

Nvm, it seems to be whenever I change a setting in general

Gonna try editing the config directly and see if that has any issues

[eternal ivy]

That issue was present for XP multiplier too.

[split mist]

In case anyone is wondering, yes, this is not just visual, it effects gameplay, basically making the game unplayable, lol

Yeah, works fine if you use the config files and don't touch the in-game menu, touching the in-game checkboxes seems to be what breaks it, regardless of if you're turning it on or off.

@turbid crescent Shot you a DM to not bloat here with non-AC talk, Discord probably blocked it as a "message request" lol

Also, since there are other Hotbar settings, a setting to disable the cosmetic slots in the hotbar would be nice, I don't personally mind not seeing my equipped cosmetics at all times especially since I don't really use cosmetics anyways lol

[eternal ivy]

Cosmetic slots?

Those aren't consmetic, they are for equipment. Those slots will be reworked in future.

[split mist]

Oh yknow what nvm I see that

I'm dumb lol

[eternal ivy]

You can get rid of them by disabling vest/boots/nvg.

[split mist]

Gotcha, I might do that then, or at least the boots and then re-enable a fourth inventory slot

Cuz the hotbar feels way too long rn lol

[eternal ivy]

You start with 500 xp and first extra slot costs 500.

[split mist]

I get that, but I'm working without the perks system since I prefer not to use it

Mainly using Advanced Company for a lot of the QoL features

[eternal ivy]

Beauty of the configs.

[split mist]

Yup yup!

[eternal ivy]

You can essentially use it as an AIO lobby/latejoin solution.

• cosmetics

[split mist]

Yeeep since those mods break horribly in combination with a lot of other mods it seems

Oh but if I disable the boot slots then I lose the flippers huh

Shiet

[eternal ivy]

You cant disable the slot

Actually, the only way to disable slots is to disable all items that go into them.

[split mist]

I mean disable the item, yeah

[eternal ivy]

So vest/boots/flippers/ev.

Unless Potatoe changed that.

[split mist]

I just need a way to have the clothing items off to the side instead of where the main hotbar is

[eternal ivy]

That will come in future.

They will work kind of like reserved slots mods work.

[split mist]

Cool, cool

[vagrant gull]

i was actually interested in this mod but then i saw permanentmoons is incompatible with it gg

[sour osprey]

only in the sense of not being able to change the prices of the moons everything else should be

[split mist]

Mhm, disabling the price changes makes it work fine if you're okay with default prices

[eternal ivy]

Setting that to fals should make permanent moons compatible.

[sonic vale]

is it still possible to manually configure cfg files?

or configs are stored elsewhere now

[stiff galleon]

In the config folder

[eternal ivy]

It's all the same. Just with added ability of configuring in-game.

[sonic vale]

awesome

weird, 2 pajamas

[vagrant gull]

oh is this part of AC's config

[shell coyote]

is XP gained is dependant on how much the quota is?

[sonic vale]

https://i.imgur.com/2Wf219i.png not related to advanced company itself, but better xp blocks buttons

[shell coyote]

or how much sold?

[eternal ivy]

Um, yeah?

[vagrant gull]

ohh cool

I use a different mod to change moon prices anyways

[wild silo]

yea. that's what it says in bexp config too. just hide it because we have the xp bar pop up at round end again.
There's already an issue on betterxp github to move the bar in pause menu but I guess it will always block stuff.

[sonic vale]

oh, round end xp is fixed

awesome then

[wild silo]

indeed

[sonic vale]

seems like advanced company is incompatible with toomanyemotes now

camera shows ship wall when using any emote

no errors

[wild silo]

you posted a gif earlier/yesterday about preset values bugging out. I'm currently testing that with only AC installed and it's still there. I can't really make out what happens. Values are written correctly to the preset.json but it seems like they are being mutliplied when loaded from the preset file and that also applies in-game. Noticed that on jump height (straight to skybox lol) and loot saver. But it also affects the 'file config' preset which doesn't have a .json

How to reproduce: enter host settings screen. change a perk base value. save. cancel out of settings screen. reenter host settings screen. Base and change value of that perk will now be 1000. @solid pivot
this is on latest beta being the only installed mod and v48

[earnest lichen]

Just curious, did the shovel weight update in this patch? It's 8 now vs 19.

[stiff galleon]

No still 19 but you can modify yourself

[stiff galleon]

You mean end game value is 0?

Or something else?

[sonic vale]

uh oh, masked enemy overhaul is not compatible too i guess

it doesn't recognize advcom cosmetics or something

[wild silo]

i noticed that too. but it only happens sometimes.

[sonic vale]

looks like it happens when wearing any cosmetics at all

[wild silo]

no, this. see steps to reproduce above. basically once a base value is changed and saved it will always load as 1000 and whatever I enter or save that will also be applied in game (1000)

[stiff galleon]

Yeah it haven't compatible yet

[stiff galleon]

What version you at?

0.99?

[wild silo]

yea

[stiff galleon]

or?

huh
