Talking about Rosie's Moons, I don't know if it experienced a conflict with Emotes2 but it was definitely having a similar crash with BetterSprayPaint

#

Which given the nature of the issue means it probably does have a similar crash with Emotes2

grizzled lava
#

well not now isaac_smug

woven heron
#

😎

grizzled lava
#

but yeah, NetworkObjects generally should be assigned in Unity, not code, unless I just fundamentally don't understand them

woven heron
#

I'm saying "crash" but I do mean the blackscreen issue btw

#

just kinda subconciously doing that lol

charred depot
grizzled lava
#

That seems like it could be a slightly different issue, but unless I'm the confused one here, the bottom line is you can't and need to ping one of the mod devs to setup the NetworkObjects in unity not code

#

Wait you're Rosie sorry, just woke up LoL

#

Yeah if you're not assigning NetworkObjects in unity you should do that

charred depot
#

Got it

#

Ill see what may be the issue

woven heron
#

Another issue I found, this time in BadAssCompany, is that the "Float" emote is basically a solid sphere of white, while in the preview trailer it's a lot less harsh and actually appears to illuminate your surroundings (which the current version doesn't seem to do)

narrow geyser
woven heron
#

That's fair enough yeah, I get that

#

Fair enough, thanks

grizzled lava
#

yeah it was always supposed to be just kind of a meme. And the original brightness was just brought over from RoR2 where light levels didn't matter, we have since turned it up to 50 so it can't be used to cheat

grizzled lava
#

uuuuuge update 1.10.0 is out:

UI performanced significantly improved with large amounts of emotes, this will make the load time go from a few seconds to a few milliseconds when having more than a few emote mods installed.

Added gamepad support, all bindings can be changed or removed if need be.

Added toggles (default on) which allow BetterEmotes/TooManyEmotes to be populated into LethalEmotesAPI. These emotes are still tied to the configs of their respective mods (such as TooManyEmotes requiring emotes to be unlocked). But can be interacted with more fully, such as supporting the join button (default V). BetterEmotes emotes also supports the third person options in LethalEmotesAPI if used through LethalEmotesAPI methods.

#

again, it's not replacing BetterEmotes or TooManyEmotes. It's simply checking if they are loaded, and implementing their emotes into LethalEmotesAPI so if you wanted to, you only need one emote wheel now instead of needing to juggle 3

#

while also solving a few conflicts they had with each other to make it seamless

woven heron
#

Does BetterEmotes actually still work properly even though Runtime Netcode Patcher hasn't been updated for v50?

grizzled lava
#

yeah

#

the patcher is deprecated so it won't receive updates

#

but until it breaks, it's not broken

grizzled lava
woven heron
#

Cool, I'll probably add it to my pack then in addition to EmotesAPI. Just making it known once again that I'd really like a feature to be able to have Local be set as the default config type, which would be especially useful for modpacks with friends

grizzled lava
#

Yeah that point has been taken

woven heron
#

Sorry if I'm being obnoxious about it lol

grizzled lava
#

we're thinking of some sort of toggle where, you can toggle it on before exporting the pack, and for anyone using that pack for the first time, it will use local configs, but if they ever switch to global, they will get to keep that going forward

#

that's a poor way of explaining it, but point is, we are looking into it

midnight galleon
#

@grizzled lava holy shit TME support?

narrow geyser
#

yeah

midnight galleon
#

Does that mean it will fix the networking issues the mod has normally?

narrow geyser
#

you can use a single wheel now if you want

midnight galleon
#

👀

grizzled lava
#

no, as stated, it's merely importing their emotes if their mod is detected

midnight galleon
#

Ahhhh

#

Got you

grizzled lava
#

I'm still calling BetterEmotes/TME's play calls

midnight galleon
#

Got you

grizzled lava
#

for reference on the "you get LethalEmotesAPI features" part, you can use the same join key to join stuff, and the healthbar automatically animates & displays emote name

#

well you can't see emote name with unityExplorer open, but trust me bro

woven heron
# grizzled lava uuuuuge update 1.10.0 is out: UI performanced significantly improved with larg...

Found an issue with the BetterEmotes integration. If the "Sign" emote comes up when using the random emote hotkey, then nothing happens. This can be considered desirable behavior since unlike most other emotes it stops your movement dead in its tracks and pulls up a GUI, but in that case the Sign emote should probably have a special case where it's by default set to not be able to appear in the random emote pool since it doesn't function properly

#

Otherwise if that's not desirable behavior then the Sign emote should work properly if pulled up in the random emote rotation

grizzled lava
#

Hmm, on one hand it's a bug but on the other hand you make a good point, I'll think on it

grizzled lava
# woven heron Sorry if I'm being obnoxious about it lol

So what I have implemented on my local branch which I think strikes a good balance:

Local config has a bool called something like "Modpack Override" which if turned on, will force the user to have Local Config enabled regardless of their "Use Global Config" setting

However, if the user ever changes their settings to use global config again. The profile will effectively never be allowed to enact the "Modpack Override" option again, thus giving the power back to the user if they decide they don't want the preset Local config (however, they can always just switch back to Local config)

#

working on a few other things at the moment as well, but this will be included in the next patch (probably over the weekend?)

woven heron
#

Sounds good although by design it'll have to not account for the current global/local setting since users might unknowingly opt out otherwise

grizzled lava
#

just to clarify, it doesn't account for the global setting

#

if you have the modpackConfig turned on in a profile where the user hasn't opted out of it already, it will always use local config

#

and a user opting out of it isn't so drastic, it just means they pick global vs local, instead of it being auto assigned to local

#

actually yeah

#

much better way to describe it

#

if true, your modpack defaults to local config

#

boom

#

that's it

woven heron
#

Gotcha, sounds good!

#

in other news, here's a teaser of an upcoming feature

image.png
woven heron
#

Personal preference with the Chug Jug emote in BadAssCompany, it seems like it picks between the original version and the vocaloid version 50/50. Maybe the original version should have a higher chance of showing up in that case with the vocaloid version being one that comes up just sometimes? Same feedback for other emotes with variant audio, specifically the Mario Star Get emote since it plays the screwed up version much more often than the regular version.

Also running into an issue with BetterEmotes compatibility, or more specifically, the handling after it's removed. Specifically, both BAC and BetterEmotes have an emote called "Griddy". If BetterEmotes is uninstalled, the Griddy emote does not get a "Griddy Requires BetterEmotes" note unlike other BetterEmotes emotes (see image), and the Griddy emote just doesn't do anything when selected, even after removing the emote from that wheel and re-adding it.

image.png
#

also @grizzled lava I'll fucking fight you

image.png
grizzled lava
#

I'll destroy you if we have that fight

#

I bought a $70 dollar game just to be told to buy DLC to finish the story

grizzled lava
#

either global or local, whichever you were using at the time

woven heron
grizzled lava
#

wrong emote mod lol

woven heron
#

oh shit

#

right yeah

#

I don't even have that enabled lol

grizzled lava
#

well, I'll try and debug why it happened the way it happened for you

#

but as to why it's behaving that way in it's current state

#

you have it completely disabled

#

so that checks out

#

unless you personally don't want to see people using emotes, I wouldn't recommend disabling emotes

woven heron
#

The BAC Griddy is disabled?

#

Actually I may have done that yeah xd

grizzled lava
#

if you go to your customize menu

woven heron
#

in which case that makes sense but yeah

grizzled lava
#

anything with the eyeball slashed is fully disabled

#

as in

#

"you don't want to see the emote in any capacity"

#

so it never plays those even if you or others call the play functionality

woven heron
#

yeah the stuff in that list was largely intentional, I just got mixed up since BE has their own griddy emote

grizzled lava
#

realisitcally what I'm thinking happened, is since there are too griddy emotes, you accidentally put the BAE one onto your wheel and not the BetterEmotes one

#

because I can't see any way it pulled the BadAssEmotes GUID and used it in the settings

woven heron
#

Maybe, I can't be completely positive tbh, it might be just me being stupid

grizzled lava
#

for reference

notepad_eONpzeGmCG.png
#

this is on your emote wheel save data

#

whereas the BetterEmotes griddy would be like

notepad_Qb3cMqlpcn.png
#

it's not 3

#

but whatever the griddy is normally assigned to, that number

#

I think 4?

woven heron
#

Gotcha, my bad then lol

grizzled lava

#

(also Rivers in the Desert is spelled Rivers in the Dessert lol)

grizzled lava
#

oops

woven heron
#

Probably not related to LEAPI (and maybe another mod is doing it idk), but for the rabbit and bee suits, the attachments (like the tail/stinger and ears/antennae) do not appear for yourself while in third person via an emote. You can still see them on other players, even when they’re emoting.

grizzled lava
#

ah that might actually be on our end thanks for the reminder, I meant to take a look into it

#

I'll see if I can get that fixed in a hotfix tonight, 1.11.0 just went out, you can use this for the modpack stuff we've talked about

notepad_UC6XKr1dry.png
grizzled lava
#

oh, that would be why it doesn't work with the normal cosmetics, for our third person I directly move the camera instead of making a new one, so the cosmetics follow it lol

midnight galleon
#

@grizzled lava got quite a few stack traces from the LethalEmotesAPI update, even made it so I couldn't open the terminal

#

Sending the log

grizzled lava
#

yeah there is a known issue I found out about like 15 minutes ago, getting a fix together, big oversight on my behalf

#

@midnight galleon can you send me a modpack code just so I can verify my fix works in your scenario before I push it out?

midnight galleon
#

018f08d1-62c3-0ca7-81c2-25df4a768703

grizzled lava
#

thank

#

does terminal break instantly for you or more of a "on exit and rejoin" kinda thing?

midnight galleon
#

Lol

grizzled lava
#

cool, just making sure I reproduce your steps accurately when I test it

#

well this is problematic, I downloaded it and I can access the terminal...

#

oh, I do see the issue though

#

should be a quick fix, expect it tonight

open edge
#

hihi!

#

uuh, idk if anyone else said anything, but the most recent update makes it so everyone is a boulder

#

Like you can't walk through them at all, or move them

#

I went through my mods 1 by 1 and downgraded just LethalEmotesAPI to the last version, and it works fine

grizzled lava
#

that's weird... I'll look into it

open edge
#

Thank you! If you need videos or anything I'll take them after our play session

grizzled lava
#

oh, yeah no we are very bouldery

narrow geyser
#

we just pushed out 1.11.1

#

could you check to see if that fixed it for you?

grizzled lava
#

it doesn't

#

I just checked

narrow geyser
#

oh

#

L

grizzled lava
#

gonna sleep now, crossing my fingers that was the last of the bugs in this version

#

please report anything else you see though

#

sorry about all the bugs tonight, a few overlooked things got through the cracks apparently

open edge
#

Tank ya!

midnight galleon
#

@grizzled lava was wondering if this bug could have been caused by LethalEmotesAPI somehow since it's the only mod I have that updated recently that touches networking, a friend of mine couldn't talk earlier, and when she rejoined the lobby stuff she had way earlier started randomly being said from her, almost like her voice got sent to the shadow realm

#

Also only I could hear her desynced voice lines, noone else could hear her at all

grizzled lava
#

I haven't touched networking since the last time we talked about networking like a month or two ago

#

so I'm going with probably not

midnight galleon
#

Yeah it was super strange

#

XD

grizzled lava
#

is this the first time that's ever happened?

midnight galleon
#

Yeah it is

grizzled lava
#

I remember having it happen with a friend genuinely like 3-4 months ago

#

hasn't happened since

midnight galleon
#

Yeah we weren't able to reproduce it after a game reboot

#

Lol

grizzled lava
#

w emote mod

austere hearth
#

well I had another session where some people couldn't see others emoting (me personally could only see the host and myself emoting)
here's the log of that session hopefully that helps

📎 LogOutput.log
grizzled lava
#

And there were no errors at all

austere hearth
#

yeah the weird thing is that the music from the emotes does play, but the animation does not

#

so like my client does know what emote they are using but it doesn't play the animation

grizzled lava
#

Correct, if you just Ctrl f your log for "received message to play"

#

You will see all the times it called emotes on specific players

#

It's so weird though because based on your description, it's inconsistent

#

And varies player by player

austere hearth
#

exactly, and if i'm not mistaken the host was able to see all the emotes just fine

grizzled lava
#

Just to clarify, was it certain emotes not showing up

#

Or certain players not seeing certain players emoting

austere hearth
#

no it did not matter which emote they used from what i could tell

grizzled lava
#

Hmmmmm

#

I hate to be like "next time it happens" but I really don't have much to go off here since the log shows it working fine and when I tested with your profile it worked fine

#

But next time it happens, have someone being affected by the error, mash the random emote key

narrow geyser
#

maybe they have a corrupted cached download?

grizzled lava
#

Would a corrupted cache allow you to see someone emoting but not another?

austere hearth
austere hearth
narrow geyser
#

instead of badasscompany do LethalEmotesApi

grizzled lava
#

Oh actually, I have a thought which might lead somewhere

#

Do you know if you used local or global configs during this session?

austere hearth
#

idk

grizzled lava
#

If you don't know it probably used global

austere hearth
#

modpack override config is false, so i think global?

grizzled lava
#

Yep

#

Rune can you post the image to get to global config if you have it

#

I'm on mobile

austere hearth
#

also about the cache thing, would each user have to delete that or just the one making the import code?

grizzled lava
#

Otherwise it's uhh

%appdata% ../locallow/zeekerssomething/emotesapi

grizzled lava
austere hearth
grizzled lava
#

Ok yeah that's not it then, was thinking you might have some emotes disabled but that list is empty

austere hearth
#

oh if that was the case i wouldn't see anyone use the emote tho

grizzled lava
#

I would try the cache solution then I guess

#

Is this the first time your group has played since the last time it happened?

austere hearth
#

yeah

#

i deleted the cache now, so in theory if that is the problem it would work even if someone else hasn't deleted their cache right?

grizzled lava
#

If that was the issue then yes, should work perfectly on your end

austere hearth
#

alright, well thanks for looking into it. will let you know what happens next time

grizzled lava
#

Oh just another question trying to gather info. Both times this happened, was it from the very beginning or did it start some time after you had already been playing

austere hearth
#

from the very beginning

#

at first i thought it was only showing the animation for people who joined the lobby before i did, but then someone else said that they were able to see people who joined after they did emote; so i don't think that was the case

midnight galleon
#

@grizzled lava bug with the API, when you die while emoting you get permanently stuck in a weird pose on revive

20240424172808_1.jpg
grizzled lava
#

probably some sort of conflict, I'll test with the pack you've sent me before. Works fine on its own

#

yeah I'm seeing it too with your pack, I'll figure out a fix soonish

narrow geyser
midnight galleon
grizzled lava
#

damnit, we are not immune. I was hoping we would be lol

r2modman_VYNJYNa9dc.png
narrow geyser
#

huh

grizzled lava
#

seen it cause issues with other mods that move bones around

#

seems we get caught in that if we are moving bones during death

#

thankfully the solution is super duper simple: just stop holding onto bone positions sooner

#

pushing out a quick fix for that. in the meantime just don't die isaac_cool

midnight galleon
#

After being chased 4 or 5 times by her I was like "Fuck it I'm going out in style"

#

LOL

hollow quiver
#

does someone have a collection of all the mods that works with Lethal emotesapi

grizzled lava
charred depot
#

Since i think im doing that

#

But apparently my other interior is breaking now with bsp

grizzled lava
#

are you giving your prefabs NetworkObjects in unity, where you can see a pre-defined ID, or are you calling AddComponent<NetworkObject> in code

charred depot
#

The former

grizzled lava
#

then from what I am aware of, you should be good

#

what issue are you seeing?

charred depot
#

Hm

charred depot
grizzled lava
#

well I more meant console logs

charred depot
#

Uhh

#

Not sure

#

Ill ask for some from the person that reported the issue

#

Heres the log they sent me

grizzled lava
#

hmmmm, I don't see any errors/dupe notifications

upbeat vale
#

How are u assigning smthn a network object? Apparently I'm having the same bug with my mod somewhere, and I do a tiny bit of stuff with scrap where I do some spawning on monster death

grizzled lava
upbeat vale
# 
private static void CreateNetworkManager(StartOfRound __instance)
    {
        Plugin.Logger.LogInfo($"IsServer: {__instance.IsServer}");

            if (GiantSpecimensUtils.Instance == null)
            {
                GameObject go = new("GiantSpecimensUtils")
                {

            {
                Plugin.Logger.LogWarning("GiantSpecimensUtils already exists?");
            }
        }
    }```
grizzled lava
#

It'll be 0

#

From what I found, unity isn't a fan of adding those at runtime

upbeat vale
#

Hmmm yeah...

#

Would it be a bad idea to just assign it some random number I think up of then? Assuming I can

grizzled lava
#

Pretty sure it's a read only value

upbeat vale
#

You're probably right

#

And here I thought this was a good solution to spawning scrap lol

grizzled lava
#

I mean, in some way, I really don't understand why it doesn't work super well adding that component at runtime, but unity doesn't actually warn you about it

upbeat vale
#

Idek if that's completely the problem either, I think lgu does exactly what I'm doing here and that has no problems

grizzled lava
#

Huh

upbeat vale
#

I'd have to recheck its code but yea

grizzled lava
#

Well uhh, I would suggest adding the NetworkObject in unity and see if that solves it, if not I'm not sure

#

Maybe we should form a support group for mods suffering from networking and see if there is a common thread lol

upbeat vale
#

Will try that, I'm not exactly too sure how to do it tho lol, just create the gameobject, add it to my bundle then just find it?

grizzled lava
#

Oh, you don't use assetbundle stuff?

upbeat vale
upbeat vale
grizzled lava
#

Spray paint?

upbeat vale
#

Yep

grizzled lava
#

Hmmm

#

Well I fixed that with my method

#

Yeah just make a prefab game object with that component

#

I think you need to add it in unity first, can't remember

upbeat vale
# upbeat vale I do, it's just I moved to LLL

Which has a listener for the asset bundle stuff and I'm not at all a programmer, only 2 months and counting so wouldn't know how exactly to access a bundle properly for smthn specific

grizzled lava
#

Oh, uhh, I could show you how we did it, pretty straight forward but I'm already in bed and have work in the morning

#

If you haven't figured it out by the time I get home I can grab what we have

upbeat vale
#

Take ur time, this problem isn't a big deal anyway, and ye I'll try seeing what I can figure out, ty though SaluteWink

grizzled lava
#

networkedObjects just being a list of GameObjects that already have their NetworkObject assigned to them

#

then to spawn those items, I just get their NetworkObject and call Spawn

devenv_VQkLcOW3MQ.png
grizzled lava

#

@grizzled lava I think the new update broke my character

#

I suddenly couldn't interact with anything and my character was softlocked

#

Got spammed with PlayerControllerB errors

grizzled lava
#

#

per usual, can you send me the updated profile code on your end

midnight galleon
#

018f4bfd-685b-7b2b-1223-b22bb6e2005a

grizzled lava
#

uhhh, just checking, when was the last time you played?

I'm not seeing the issue you had in your log file. That issue doesn't mentioned emotes anywhere anyway, and if I look at the changes for this most recent update, it's literally just a couple lines

midnight galleon
#

Strange

grizzled lava
#

hmmm, let me try that flow

midnight galleon
#

It's weird cus no mod was specified for the error

#

lol

grizzled lava
#

just went into Harloth, grabbed something and came back, no notable issues yet. Not sure exactly where to go from here

notepad_E10TL3ksvy.png
#

it's kinda weird cause in your log file, it just kinda starts

#

there is no notable error that starts it all

#

I would say try the new version again, and if it still gives you issues let me know?

#

hate you make you my QA tester for it, but I don't have a lot to work with here

upbeat vale
#

what does the IL error even point to

grizzled lava
#

That's a great question which I hadn't already turned off my computer, but I'll check in the morning

upbeat vale
#

i cant fnid the problematic code lmao

#

this is the last line

#

for late update

midnight galleon
#

It's a bug with the Decorative Flashlight from SDM

grizzled lava
upbeat vale
#

oh you talking about the grammar

grizzled lava
#

Yeah I think I just merged two thoughts

upbeat vale
#

also for later, does lethal emotes api mess with kinematics and stuff?
my giant relies on turning off kinematics to throw the player and i think lethal emotes api stops me from doing that for clients or smthn cuz they cant get thrown with it installed

midnight galleon
#

Yeah keep in mind this also prevents clients from ragdolling from Tesla Traps too

west viper
#

Wanted to throw this here since log mentions lethalemotesapi. I've sent this in diversity discord too since it was when i was removing a snare flea from someones head using the revamp. game froze on the last click to remove snare flea

I suppose it could be some conflict of sorts cause I only tested with this

#

lemme use lunxara's pack from last night and see

#

yeah it's still working with that, @upbeat vale do you have a profile code from whatever you were using at the time, or was it the same as Lunxara?

upbeat vale
grizzled lava
#

not happening without emotesapi. So yeah it's on my end, not sure how, but I'll get it fixed

west viper
#

yeah didnt even think to test with it off tbh. ty tho!!

incase u werent doing that

this might be the issue instead of lethalemotesapi itself

alright good to know. thanks for the help!!

#

if you never mentioned the debug i never wouldve figured it was that hahaha

grizzled lava
#

not really sure how to resolve that one. I'll probably just remove my debug call

#

@eager cradle actually better yet, any idea why this would cause errors with it?

#

seems like a fine debug to me

#

(for further reference)

#

looking rn

#

crash or the error?

grizzled lava
#

The crash, it seems to cause a crash when I debug the error that's highlighted there

#

for some reason with the debug patcher, this crashes the game instead of just logging to console

Discord_wmMVwmpryg.png
eager cradle
#

can you send the crash log?

#

with dump file

grizzled lava
eager cradle
#

hmm

#

let me try to repro on my side

Similarly to pushing you out of the wall, co-op emotes trivialize clipping through locked doors

Is there a possibility of turning off join positions for certain emotes? Stationary emotes are fine, but any that you can freely move with can trigger this, and I don't trust my friends to not abuse this lmao

narrow geyser
#

We'll have to look into solutions for this

#

I have an idea on how we could mitigate this

woven heron
#

No rush, I'll just berate them for it for now, but a config option or something would be useful

narrow geyser
#

But it will be a bit

woven heron
#

not a problem, thanks

grizzled lava
#

Oh

#

Wait nvm that only solves half the problem

#

I'll explain anyway

#

For some emotes (for no reason other than, I didn't think about it that hard) it works where your player is actually exactly on the host emoter

#

Like hare hare yukai

#

That actually should fix the clipping out issue

#

But technically the join spots still go through walls

#

So you can still grab people through doors

#

Wait actually

#

Just raycast when attempting to join a spot that will lock you

#

And deny the join if you can't see the host

#

Huh

#

It can't be that easy right?

#

(it's probably that easy)

#

(I'll see about fixing that tomorrow)

grizzled lava

#

@darkbum (no discord tag in the readme) your Eirinx emote mod doesn't quite work well with r2modman fyi.

r2modman unpacks the first folder it sees, so you end up with this when using the mod loader

explorer_cl6YhidLKc.png
#

which causes the default asset loader to fail, either change that, or more reasonably, just add a dummy folder to your upload like this

explorer_VnNZs7Atk9.png
#

also you might want to set the displayName attribute of your emote so it doesn't look uhhh, like this

If you have a folder deep inside called plugins, that will be kept as-is and the contents would be installed as if that were the override

#

it’s basically just a recursive search and for individual files per level they are flattened unless the directory it goes into is one of the override names

@frozen kite tis here

#

Im struggling to figure out how to add custom holding animations @grizzled lava would you have any ideas on how i could possibly do this? I figured out how to make an animation for it but not actually implement it.

grizzled lava
#

as in a custom position for the currently held item?

frozen kite
#

yea

grizzled lava
#

let me find what I had, pretty straight forward

#

For reference, this is just spawning a gameobject that I animated when an emote plays

devenv_GNEdfpIcLj.png
#

BoneMapper.AttachItemHolderToTransform

frozen kite
#

I meant actual hand animation srry like this for example

image.png
grizzled lava
#

explain further, I'm a bit confused now

upbeat vale
#

we're trying to make our own grab animation for this specific item

frozen kite
#

yeah that

grizzled lava
#

oh like just a passive holding animation?

upbeat vale
#

yee

frozen kite
#

yee

upbeat vale
#

basically the strings you put in item properties for grab animation, but none of those fit our requirement

grizzled lava
#

I uhhhh

#

to be blunt, I didn't even know that was a thing lol

upbeat vale
#

HUH

frozen kite
upbeat vale
#

did you not think about how the player has custom animations for like, holding the clipboard, holding apparatus etc?

grizzled lava
#

not really no. I've never looked into making items lol

frozen kite
#

dam i dont know anyone else who might know how to do this only person i knew who had something like that was AdvancedCompany but the dev is bad news

grizzled lava
#

did the piggy's variety mod have anything on it? I know they did something with animators for their gun

red needle
#

The main thing that advanced company did iirc was just add new animations to call to the base animator, which is why it broke with basically anything that ever touched the base animator

#

since it just replaced it with his copy that had additional animations

#

I could be remembering the setup incorrectly though

frozen kite
grizzled lava
#

I also know I saw the person who made the cat mod, stated they just re-used the grenade animation to pet the cats to avoid the headache of changing stuff in the base animator

#

but I wish you all the luck

#

oh I see looking into it

grabAnim is just a bool to be set in the animator

dnSpy_sG0eTp9sY3.png
#

that's uhhhhhhh

frozen kite
#

yea :|

grizzled lava
#

scary

frozen kite
#

it makes the animator have so many dang parameters too

image.png
grizzled lava
#

I think the "solution" would be to replace a specified animation temporarily, and then just use the bool string for that animation

#

I don't think you would be able to add a new bool but I might be wrong on that one

upbeat vale
#

im sure we could replace the clipboard one

#

i dont think anyone cares

frozen kite
#

lmao

grizzled lava
#

is there a unique anim/bool per item?

frozen kite
#

sorta

grizzled lava
#

I would think there are just like 3-4 animations that each item can pick from

frozen kite
#

HoldClipBoard is one of them

grizzled lava
#

oh, that might make sense, since it's held more "at you" so you can read it

#

rather than sideways

#

Beware: you can PERMANENTLY get stuck in 2d if you use the stock person dance (lights camera action) from the emotes 2 and knuckles.

#

does doing the lights camera action dance again and cancelling fix it?

#

...yes

narrow geyser
#

to be fair, it's still a bug

#

we've just been lazy about it

grizzled lava
#

#

in my defense

#

I had the solution in my head 3 weeks ago

#

I just completely forgot to implement it

woven heron

#

no clue

grizzled lava
#

I played with a group a few weeks ago, the bug happened seemingly at random. but it does happen. Not sure what causes it but I (probably) know how to fix it

#

using Lights Camera Action twice consecutively does some very interesting things to the model in the top left

#

I swear I tested that

woven heron
#

not terribly urgent but it contorts a ton lol

grizzled lava
#

does the character work either? looks like it is breaking in your image

grizzled lava
#

and if it is 1.3.5, can you send me a profile code, cause it's not happening on my end

woven heron
#

1.3.4 yeah

grizzled lava
#

ah, I would check again once 1.3.5 propigates, pretty sure I fixed the issue (I hope)

woven heron
grizzled lava
#

this really tells a story

woven heron
#

don't worry about it lol

#

the most disappointing part is that you can't dive over the ship railing even though the window is higher

#

still funny though

grizzled lava
#

yeah I mean technically speaking, emotes could move you over

woven heron
#

not asking you to fix that btw, that's more likely to screw shit up

grizzled lava
#

but gravity doesn't get removed so it would be very iffy

dusty nimbus
#

adding custom holding animations

frozen kite
dusty nimbus
frozen kite
#

im probably gonna re look into it i might use an animator override controller and just have the player when holding the item use the clipboard override and then when deequiping have it remove overrides

#

and if any other mods do the same thing it shouldent conflict at all

frozen kite
dusty nimbus
#

i didnt know you can... make mods in it?

#

i guess its just like normal unity developing

#

actually that makes a lot of sense i guess

#

the only thing you'd have to do outside is maybe the main script that patches stuff in

#

im sure you thought of this already and its not so easy as i suggest, but I'll ask anyways for curiosity, is there any way to just patch in a new animation, like HoldCustomItem or something additive instead of overriding HoldClipBoard?

frozen kite
#

Nope ive tried looking around but theres no way to really add to an animator during runtime without replacing the original animator (which is the incompatibility with other mods that do the same thing)

dusty nimbus
#

i see i see

#

I suppose some kind of animation API would add all the animations from mods using the API into one new super animator and then throw it into the game... but i do not have the expertise to create such a thing :/

frozen kite
#

Im hoping for someone to make an API for that kind of thing

#

# grizzled lava

uhh this is about the grabAnimations etc we talked about earlier i think, i thought lethal emotes api doesnt have that kind of stuff 🤔

dusty nimbus
#

sorry, im a filthy title reader only

#

i thought this is only emotes api

#

not custom holding animations

#

???

red needle
#

if you wanted to be exceptionally lazy

grizzled lava
#

well it's called emotesapi, but at the end of the day, it's just animator that replaces the animations of the original animator temporarily

dusty nimbus
#

ohhhh

grizzled lava
#

so you could register a hidden emote with your holding animation (hidden means it won't show up in the regular emote list) and call that emote whenever you start holding your item

red needle
#

(best part is, any anims you make for emotes api also work on all the enemies in game if you wanted the enemies to do the animations too CatGiggle)

grizzled lava
#

and that might be too much of a "swiss army knife to solve a butter knife problem"

dusty nimbus
#

nah thats really cool, I'll look into this!

grizzled lava
#

but if it is, you can take a look through our whole repo to find something that fits more your needs

#

just to lay out how I would do it in your scenario if I were to use emotesAPI:

if holding item and currentAnimation == "none" make current animation equal to our holding animation

if switching off of the item or dropping the item and the currentAnimation is equal to our hold animation, play "none"
#

I didn't really spring this idea up the first time since it seemed like y'all wanted to replace the base animator, and I didn't really want to impose if you already had a path you were set on

@grizzled lava Hi, I don't know how to explain, but I want to make an animation and make it so that the lower part of the bones are not involved (for example, a person raised his arms and he has a running animation and so on).

Let me grab an example

#

You can see what they do here

midnight galleon
#

Is it an issue with Lethal Emotes API and mods like Piggy's Variety Mod messinmg with the player animator?

#

XD

#

I was playing with @north matrix and @dapper spindle at the time and only Mac saw me bugged like that btw lol

grizzled lava
#

what am I looking at sorry, there is a lot going on in this image lol

midnight galleon
#

XD

#

I remember seeing @bitter ingot have a broken leg once too lol

grizzled lava
#

hmm, I haven't really seen this issue in a while, I'm not entirely sure what's breaking it specifically. To be clear, emotesapi doesn't actually mess with the base animator ever, it moves bone positions around and that's it.

As for diagnosing it, I'm not sure, do you know if there has been any comon thread/actions among those who had broken legs?

midnight galleon
grizzled lava
#

is it just the knees, or various different locations that break?

midnight galleon
#

XD

#

I don't think I've seen another body part break

grizzled lava
#

So to break down about what I think is happening:

When any given bone starts emoting with emotesapi, it grabs the local position/rotation of the original bone and saves that

when the emote bone stops emoting, it resets the original bone to the original local position/rotation.

This is to prevent breaking certain bones that might not actually animate with other animations (I.E: If shoulderL doesn't actually have keyframes in the regular animation, if we move it around, that will be permanent, so I need to revert that stuff)

I think what might be happening is emotesapi is grabbing bone positions/rotations that are non-standard if there is another animation currently playing. I thought I had fixed this before, and I clearly got far with it cause this issue barely occurs these days (or just no one reports it idk)

#

As for fixing this specifically, I'm not entirely sure, I could look at just caching the vanilla position/rotations, but that would require some manual work, I'll think about it

midnight galleon
#

Yeah that would make sense, cus I've never been able to replicate it when I have TME installed and LethalEmotesAPI and BAC disabled lol so I figured it was a Lethal Emotes API bug that happens rarely, or Lethal Emotes API breaking cus of mods that alter the player animator like Piggy's mod does

grizzled lava
#

hmm, @tender sinew out of curiosity, did you do anything fancy for reverting bone positions?

tender sinew
grizzled lava
#

yeah, reverting their positions after emotes play

tender sinew
tender sinew
midnight galleon
#

lol

grizzled lava
#

It's more of a, I'm not sure how you get away with not resetting bones lol

tender sinew
#

Ohh, I only skimmed through the convo

grizzled lava
#

cause I swear I tried that before and it caused issues, but if it works for you then I'll have to take another look at it

tender sinew
#

At the time, I figured I would just let the original animator do that, but I never thought at the time that some animations might not animate all bones lol, but in hindsight, it probably would have been a good idea

spring citrus
#

I come with the worst kind of news.

narrow geyser
spring citrus
#

I was looking into some null reference exceptions caused by my treatment of more company cosmetics, and I found to my absolute awe that there were a vast and numerous number of duplicates of those cosmetics.

#

I'm not 100% sure that emote API caused it, but I tracked the duplication down to looking in third person, by pressing middle click, while in the middle of an emote.

image.png
eager cradle
#

😅

spring citrus
midnight galleon
spring citrus
#

Basically, back then I parented the replacement model's bones instead of updating their positions every update, and that would occasionally result in the legs getting flipped, exactly like that image.

midnight galleon
#

We do use it in our pack so it would explain things and why it is so rare

spring citrus
#

Nope, it's a base game issue.

midnight galleon
#

Ahhhh fun

spring citrus
#

I think there's like a one frame moment where the legs are broken in base game.

#

Which caused that very rare bug on my end, and it seems on emote API's end as well.

#

Since it went away as soon as I stopped parenting bones.

midnight galleon
#

XD

#

Been wondering what's been causing that

#

😅

spring citrus
#

That's already fixed, was just looking into the cosmetics as well, since they were doing some weird things.

midnight galleon
#

Yeah, glad you're working on getting everything DiFFoZ found fixed

spring citrus
#

But as it is I'm just going to push the update now, since I can't fix everything to do with cosmetics.

midnight galleon
#

Also his findings helped me out a ton in the end too, cus after removing some of those mods he found that were using a lot of gc allocation it fixed a desync I was getting in Multiplayer with @frozen kite's Shockwave Drone mod, it finally dropped the scrap for me today after me ripping my hair out for so long wondering why it would never work in Multi lol

#

Although I'd have no idea which mod was responsible I was happy to see it fixed

midnight galleon
grizzled lava
#

doesn't seem to be duplicating on its own, do you have any specific mods installed when you saw that @spring citrus ?

midnight galleon
#

I know what it is

#

@spring citrus The cosmetics duplicating happens with TooManyEmotes, and I remember seeing an error once in TME's thread regarding the 2

#

I've seen it once myself but can't reproduce it

#

If you have TME though that's probably the cause of it

midnight galleon
grizzled lava
#

oh

#

I was not

midnight galleon
#

But I'm pretty sure this issue is due to TME

#

Yeah you could probably manually import and see if you can repro it

I only had some emote API mods installed, and more company. I just tested it after updating, and it's gone.

@grizzled lava any plans to see about compat with V55? The animations for the Company Cruiser don't seem to break but when people are driving it the whole game lags and I'm guessing because support needs to be added somehow

Nunchuk did some testing earlier and didn't notice any errors other than some fixes that might need to be made for enemy interactions mod which isn't part of base EAPI

Thank you in advance for your help. ^^
So I'm stuck at 23 minutes into the video.
I don't know where the file to be coded comes from.

The problem seems silly.
But I watched the 2 videos several times and never found the answer to my question.

thanks for the example.
but it remains strange to me X,)

so if I've understood correctly, I just have to take this example file, import my emotes, change a few lines, and the "build" compiles everything for me, right?

I'll give it a try

Oh yeah, obviously emotesAPI has had quite a few updates since I made that video. If you want a full list of import parameters

I don't know if it's due to the absence of these lines following the update, but the test emotes I made don't appear in the game.

these 2 files are generated as in the video, but the emote is not in the game.

are you running manually or with r2modman?

fierce horizon
#

I run the game with thunder store

#

what is r2modman ?

#

ho I found logs

grizzled lava
#

same thing but without ads so don't worry about it.

fierce horizon
grizzled lava
#

So I don't see the debug log in here anywhere.

grizzled lava
fierce horizon
grizzled lava
#

and you ran the game from thunderstore, not steam/an exe right?

fierce horizon
#

Should I have placed my emote in the Datafolder or with the lethal compagny .exe file?

fierce horizon
grizzled lava
#

that's the problem

#

so, either run manually (steam, or the exe), or change your file paths to be in the thunderstore profile

fierce horizon
#

oooh I see

grizzled lava
#

cause right now the mod is "installed manually" and not "installed on your thunderstore profile"

#

in your case, I would recommend just setting up the filepaths to match your thunderstore profile

fierce horizon
#

if I start lethal compagny with default .exe I d'ont have mods

grizzled lava
#

right, which is why I recommend for you to just point visual studio to your profile

fierce horizon
#

okay
I'll do it right away

grizzled lava
#

(also make sure to copy over your assetbundle folder as well)

fierce horizon
#

I copied the entire "emotes" folder

grizzled lava
#

that way visual studio will automatically output to the correct folder

fierce horizon
#

the console detects the emote,
but it's displayed in red and boxes all the other modes in my profile

grizzled lava
#

uhh, that's a new one, can you show me all of this file? Or at least the start all the way to your import call

right, changing this is bad revert it to [BepInDependency("com.weliveinasociety.CustomEmotesAPI")]

I'm back with a new problem perceive

grizzled lava
#

hmmm, looks like the default nuget stuff I include has some waste that is causing issues. Remove it like this and see if that clears it up

midnight galleon
grizzled lava
#

yeah I can push a quick update to the example to fix it. but this has nothing to do with the api itself. It's just the example repo

midnight galleon
#

Ahhhh

# fierce horizon 🥲

Oh yeah, unity quirk. When you create your asset bundles in unity, make sure to give them a unique name, this could easily be achieved by adding your username to them or something like instead of

animations

Name the bundle

octosniper_animations

fierce horizon
#

thx again

fierce horizon
#

if I want to make more emotes in one file
I just need too add a new ligne
ImportAnimation([CustomEmotesAPI_Template_Mod.Assets.Load<AnimationClip>

right ?

grizzled lava
#

Yep

The employee just snapped his own neck instead bruh

That blender theme looked like fortnite to me

and made me very confused

grizzled lava
#

huh, that's a new issue I've never seen before. Not entirely sure what's causing it but as a first step for debugging try checking these boxes and set it all to original

Discord_Li8MW0pQJs.png
fierce horizon
#

it's work thx

#

and how to make loop animation please ?

grizzled lava
#

For animation, just check that box

Discord_p4SfgcMfSj.png
#

For audio, the default function in the tutorial has an option, it's the third parameter, you want to set that to true

thx gain and again

#

It should be pretty straight forward, I haven't used this mod but I imagine it's just copies of the player model, so I already have an emote skeleton for them, it just needs to be setup to apply to them as well

red needle
#

Im switching to the fortnite palette for blender moving forward

azure spruce
grizzled lava
#

I guess it depends on what you mean by "support for it". But I'll set them up with emote skeletons. If they have enemyAI built in it should just work TM, if not I'm not sure

upbeat vale
#

quick question

#

if the enemy is made out of a particle system

grizzled lava
#

quick answer

upbeat vale
#

can they still emote

#

😔

grizzled lava
#

uhhh well

upbeat vale
#

i have this tornado here

grizzled lava
#

is it just like, one particle system?

upbeat vale
#

that i wanna see do gangnam style

#

it's like 7 for the full effect

grizzled lava
#

so

#

kind of?

#

is there an animator

#

or is it more of a static object

upbeat vale
#

and it is registered as an enemyAI because some guy wanted the weather to become spawnable by default

upbeat vale
#

and yeah i figured not lmao

grizzled lava
#

I mean on a technicality, the answer to your question is yes

#

in reality

#

I don't wanna go make another system dedicated to animating static objects

#

sorry d_pensive

upbeat vale
#

makes sense

#

i was mostly joking, i'd be crazy if i wanted this lmao

grizzled lava
#

I mean

#

ok hear me out

#

add an animator/skeleton to the tornado

#

that does nothing

#

but exist

#

then we are talking

upbeat vale
#

lmao

#

do i add an animator controller to it too or u just want an animator

grizzled lava
#

just an animator works actually

upbeat vale
#

interesting, ill add one for fun

#

i guess im schizo, turns out it does have one i just dont use it

grizzled lava
#

does it have the bones associated with it already?

upbeat vale
#

def not

grizzled lava
#

no one will believe you

my favourite clip will forever be redwood doing the omni man meme

#

yo @grizzled lava, are masked enemies supposed to be able to emote after being knocked out?

#

(when masked are enabled to emote ofc)

grizzled lava
#

No they are not, I can take a look into this when I get home

small ginkgo
#

ighty, i unfortunately dont have a log or clip as this was from last night and i've relaunched since then to fix some misc modpack stuff.

#

i assumed it was an oversight since unlike other enemies masks dont really "die" it seems they just lay down but still remain an active entity

grizzled lava
#

That would be it probably

#

Cause I check for isDead (or whatever it's called)

#

Maybe they don't use it?

small ginkgo
#

that could be it

#

watched one get up right as i walked near it and omni man on me

#

gave me a heart attack XD

grizzled lava
#

Pretty funny though KEKW

small ginkgo
#

it was!! but it can become an annoying red herring when you have a dead crowd of em all going at it

narrow geyser
#

Better idea

#

Instead of fixing the bug

#

Force them to play the "Dallas Medic Bag" emote

upbeat vale
#

I had a friend that spammed that

narrow geyser
#

"Had"

upbeat vale
#

Needless to say we are no longer friends

#

Yeah

narrow geyser
small ginkgo
#

minor issue is interns are listed under the vanilla enemies area instead of the modded ones in the config

small ginkgo
grizzled lava
#

I think

peak zodiac
#

is there a way to disable that join text that appears in the top left whenever a player somewhere in the game is doing an emote? it's very distracting and we don't use this functionality at all

narrow geyser
#

iirc it disappears after you do it once

grizzled lava
#

but it can be turned off, let me find the config

peak zodiac
#

i see this in the config but it's already off

image.png
#

furthermore, i had this off as well, and it was happening with BetterEmotes, which is the only emote pack we have

image.png
grizzled lava
#

I think it's an issue with global-local settings

#

I'll look into it

grizzled lava
peak zodiac
#

yeah

grizzled lava
#

yeah it's def a global-local issue

#

so as you might be aware, emotesapi has "local" options, aka what is normally config for mods. But it also stores global options, so that people can jump between profiles without having to change their emote wheels every time

peak zodiac
#

oh, i didnt know that

grizzled lava
#

and these are both setup with that, but the global options aren't noted anywhere

devenv_LsQXsRqCwf.png
peak zodiac
#

where are the global options stored?

grizzled lava
#

it's the main reason we had to make our own settings in-game so that global options can be easily changed

#

%AppData%..\LocalLow\ZeekerssRBLX\Lethal Company\LethalEmotesAPI

#

should default to false though, could be the "tutorial" mode causing problems

notepad_uad7TJzh3f.png
#

oh

#

so out of curiosity, did anyone ever humor it and join the emote?

#

cause it has the "tutorial mode" as I call it to let people know they can just join emotes from wherever, then it goes away forever. But if y'all don't actually want to use it I can see a situation where you would just not well, use it.

#

I'll get stuff setup in the customize UI so these settings aren't a pain in the ass to change

peak zodiac
peak zodiac
grizzled lava
#

I'm pushing out an update here in a bit, it's adding these items I forgot to setup in the customize menu

#

@small ginkgo fixed the issues with Football and dead enemies emoting. Added a new setting trol

devenv_nkdEsf4Ux1.png
small ginkgo
grizzled lava
peak zodiac
#

thank you 🥺

proud yarrow
small ginkgo
#

like if they're either unrendered or on a non visible rendering layer, you cant hear the emote

#

this way other players wont hear the audio if they're not being haunted, and the haunted player wont just hear lingering emotes where ever the ghost was last visible

upbeat vale
#

lol i wonder if u can layer audio sources

small ginkgo
#

in footballs case she prints to the log when revealing herself so it might be extra easy

image.png
small ginkgo
#

that'd also keep the audio synced with the emote if the ghost hides and reveals itself during the same emote, since the audio isnt technically toggled off it wont restart

grizzled lava
#

EmotesAPI works fine with the new update, I'll get around to adding emote skeletons to the new enemies, as far as I'm aware there is ||just the man-eater in two varieties right? someone can correct me if there is another enemy||

upbeat vale
#

you are correcto

grizzled lava
peak zodiac
#

i think this mod might be broken on v61. currently reimporting my code just to see if something broke when i was updating stuff, but disabling this mod seems to make everything work fine

grizzled lava
#

can you send me a profile code/log? I tested on my end and stuff seemed fine

peak zodiac
#

the thing is that there were no errors from what i could see

#

but i was getting that bug where the screen is black and you can't do anything, if you know what i'm talking about

grizzled lava
#

then a profile code will do

peak zodiac
#

019161f1-0fe7-c566-ad04-34b488f3d188

#

this will likely take a while to import, so i'll do some more tests as soon as mine is finished and if everything works it was probably just something downloading incorrectly

grizzled lava
peak zodiac
#

yeah

#

screen is just black with ui and an interact tooltip

grizzled lava
peak zodiac
#

interesting

#

yep, after reimporting the code everything seems to work fine now. really weird

grizzled lava
azure spruce
#

Beyond peak

small ginkgo
grizzled lava
#

Do you use modelreplacementAPI?

small ginkgo
#

yeah

grizzled lava
#

see #1187188516644474911 message

#

tl;dr, will probably be fixed in its next update, but I'm not a mind reader so don't take my word for it

Discord_t6RwpyHUiQ.png
small ginkgo
#

ooo okay gotcha

upbeat vale
#

I need to see redwood do the deadpool dance

narrow geyser
#

which one?

upbeat vale
#

The uhhh

#

The popular one with bye bye baby I think its called?

narrow geyser
#

oh that one

upbeat vale
#

Yeah

narrow geyser
#

I mean, we aren't really doing emote requests atm

upbeat vale
#

That's fair lol

#

I thought it'd be funny just incase

grizzled lava
#

yeah I'm kinda burned out of major stuff. I'm still down to do maintenance and little things like emote skeletons, but I'm kinda too busy with other stuff to do emote requests

that being said, ya know if you are ever feeling adventurous lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfmFxi7_-Oo

#

i keep occasionally seeing this in the log

#

not sure what's causing it but it seems to make it so my friend can't drop what they're holding or interact with anything

grizzled lava
#

well that shouldn't have anything to do with dropping items, as that is an exception that gets handled by just deleting the BoneMapper. Not sure where you are seeing that error from, doesn't look like a normal log. (Or how even, cause again, that line get's handled if it errors)

If you send me a profile code I can test it on my end, sounds like it's happening from a client and not the host?

#

is the issue consistent for your friend?

peak zodiac
#

that's an error from UnityDebuggerAssistant. yes its a client only thing because i could pick up and drop stuff completely fine. it was happening consistently with everything on the ship for us. im not exactly sure if it's an issue with this mod, but that was the only thing in the log and it seemed to always be present around the time that they were having the issue, but unfortunately we didn't get to test it
019183db-b333-3a00-ca2c-e9b80af92387 this is the code. let me know if you're able to reproduce it over lan, because i'll do some troubleshooting on my own tomorrow if that's the case and it isn't an issue with LethalEmotesAPI

cloud jasper
narrow geyser
#

those 2 logs in isolation don't make it clear what is causing the issue entirely, the full log might be more helpful, but we'll look into it

cloud jasper
narrow geyser
#

I see

grizzled lava
#

well I'm fixing up those spots to be more uhh, not jank. (long story, but I'd bet 10 bucks none of them are the issue) By just adding more checks to prevent false errors.

#

@peak zodiac in multiplayer I'm not having the issue with the client, the profile is called vr mods test, were you running with LCVR or something else?

peak zodiac
#

no no that's just an old name, we don't really play with the vr mod anymore

#

i think we're gonna play tonight so hopefully we can do some testing or figure out what the issue is

grizzled lava
#

mk, I'm gonna push out a quick patch for emotes just to prevent those false positives from showing up, again I'm positive they weren't real errors but I'll still fix them cause they are bad practice coding

peak zodiac
#

sounds good, i'll post here again if i find anything out

everything seems to work but im getting this error, seems like its whenever someone joins
#

it gets thrown quite a lot actually, not sure whats causing it

grizzled lava
#

"thrown" is a bit of an exaggeration I feel since it's another mod digging up my bad practices that don't normally throw errors. That being said, it is similar to the previous ones were "it shouldn't break anything cause it's unrelated, but I'll fix it cause it's old code that was made with old brain"

#

glad everything is working though, did you change any mods up or did it just kinda work this time?

peak zodiac
#

pretty much just the same stuff. i did clear cache and do a fresh import, not sure if that had anything to do with it

grizzled lava
#

fresh import seems to fix a surprising amount of issues around here so you never know lol

peak zodiac
#

okay i think using the terminal consistently triggers it

grizzled lava
#

Like triggers the "can't pick up stuff" issue?

peak zodiac
#

no no no just the error

#

which seems like you already fixed that

grizzled lava

worldly lotus
#

Hey ! Im so sorry but i need a hand please ..
We have the same modpack, but my friend cant join
We deleted CustomEmoteAPI (or LethalEmoteAPI) and he can join
We reinstalled CustomEmoteAPI, he still can't join
we did a clean installation of the modpack, we did everything good
but i dont know why CustomEmoteAPI is responsible of that
Anyone has a fix please ?

narrow geyser
#

what mod manager are you both using

worldly lotus
#

Hum .. i dont know maybe i'll get ban but .. we use the fork of r2modman that allows AdvancedCompany ..

#

and since AdvancedCompany got some .. issues with the communities ... 🤷‍♂️

narrow geyser
#

try clearing the cache in r2modman

#

and then re-installing the pack

worldly lotus
#

Yes, we did it, we did a clean installation (which means completely deleted the r2modman folders in Roaming)
But what i dont understand, is that my 8 others friends can join, with the samemod pack
But one of them just can't join at all ..
Seems like LethalEmoteAPI is the culprit, because when we both remove it, he could join my room

#

i really just dont understand, same config and all

grizzled lava
#

Yeah there should be a folder here (old image, just find the newest mod version)

explorer_HkilK6yjJ2.png
#

delete the most recent folder

#

well the fork might use a different location, not sure

narrow geyser
#

that sounds like your friend has a corrupted install somehow

#

if your other friends can join fine then that seems to be the most likely cause

worldly lotus
narrow geyser
#

delete the recent update folder

#

and then re-update/re-install

grizzled lava
#

1.13.1???

#

that's a really old version

#

1.15.4 is the most recent version

worldly lotus
#

Oh my bad, i was looking at your screen !

grizzled lava
#

yeah that's why I specified it's an old screenshot

worldly lotus
#

Alright, we'll do that, thanks for the support 🙏
