[Rework WIP] ghostCodes - Alpha testing via version 2.5.2

[zinc granite]

#1183889212978778173 message for reference

[molten dune]

I went and made some comments, thanks for all the pings guys I agree it'd be really cool to see this mod work with custom interiors!

Could yall tell me how much of the mod does work with custom interiors? Like I'd assume mines/turrets still work

[quick crow]

there seems to be a delay between the ghost girl beginning to chase and the lights starting to flicker

[quick crow]

perhaps there could be a mode where rapidfire is activated after the apparatus is taken? would require networking since you'd have to make it not shut down all the doors and lights but i think it could be cool

[molten dune]

possible for sure, i do think the facility meltdown mod does a great job of enhancing that minigame

[quick crow]

the reason i suggested it was actually for combining it with that

[molten dune]

this is intended, it waits a short random period of time before she starts chasing. could prob configure an ability to remove that delay

i think it just looks better with the delay personally

[molten dune]

ahhh I see, will def consider this

[woven canyon]

woah thats crazy luck

i'm the creator of the facility meltdown mod and if you'd want to add functionalty to it id be more then happy to help! (just ping me in that case)

[molten dune]

You have a github right? I'll peek your code if I start doing anything around the apparatus to make sure I dont call any conflicting functions

[woven canyon]

here https://github.com/LoafOrc/FacilityMeltdown

[woven canyon]

as long as you dont cancel the appartus' equip item function my mod will be fine

or there is another way then patching a function that uses my goofy api and automatically gets called

[molten dune]

Well I figure I dont wanna mess with the lights when your code is already having them go into "meltdown mode"

i'll have to read your code but i'm sure i'll be able to mess with any of the doors/turrets/mines even in meltdown mode

I think if you dont already have something like it maybe a boolean determining whether or not the facility is in meltdown would be nice to check for @woven canyon

[woven canyon]

you can check whether or not MeltdownHandler.Instance is null

[molten dune]

that said, I guess I could check if the apparatus has been pulled as well

[molten dune]

oh yeah and an easy way to check if a mod is loaded is something like this

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

just gotta make sure to call it after all the mods have been loaded into the chainloader

[woven canyon]

yeah theres no reason for your mod to have my mod as a hard dependency

[molten dune]

totally agree

but it's nice to have stuff that will work specifically with it

thanks for checkin in btw, i'll make sure to ping you with any other questions I might have 👍 👍

love your mod the meltdown is sick

[halcyon path]

ghost triggering the meltdown

[molten dune]

small update addressing some minor issues/complaints

been busy with my dayjob so not much time to really work on the fun stuff

[1.5.1]

• Added a configuration option to bypass GGE if a moon does not have the possibility for a ghost girl spawning.
• Added configuration option to modify the moons list for when GGE will be bypassed for the other modes.
• Changed signal translator messages sent by ghostGirl and added a common handling method for this action.
• Added configuration option for custom messages to be sent by the ghost girl over the signal translator.
• Added a extra null reference handling for the nethandler to deal with an error that occurs on lobby restart.

[halcyon path]

custom messages to be sent
as in, does that also include compatibility with mods that change the character limit? like lategame upgrades does

[molten dune]

I didnt impose any limits myself, so I would assume yes.

Could definitely use testing if you'd like to check

[halcyon path]

oh, def gonna try that out when I get home (if I don't forget that is)

[molten dune]

I appreciate it 🙏

ultimately I wanted to get these small fixes out to make this version a bit more stable and also have the mod actually do something for most moons where the ghost girl doesn't exist lol

I still have a lot of bigger changes planned but need to find the time to work on/test them

also gonna start trying to keep this up-to-date to track planned work & suggestions
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/darmuh/ghostCodes/wiki/1276-planned-work-community-suggestions-updated-117/

at the very least between version updates lol

[halcyon path]

hmm
lgu has this actually

Fast Encryption - $300

Upgrades the signal transmitter.
Must have signal transmitter purchased.
Instantly sends an unrestricted message to all clients chat when using transmit.

I wonder if it will still send them into chat

[safe rapids]

In that second clip did she turn off the breaker and then turn it back on to flicker the lights? Or is it just that when she turns off the breaker she only does it for a second? I was gonna disable the breaker stuff in the config (to keep visibility during diversity haunts lol) but if its only for a few seconds I'll def re-enable it

[signal lantern]

god i will surely add glitched messages into that haha

people were spooked by the hashtag and arrow to the right already, imagine seeing actual text while nobody is on the terminal

[zinc granite]

Are you considering having it affect regular doors also? There's a simple mod called DarkMist that does this https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Frack9/DarkMist/ Doesn't add any monsters, just closes doors between you and the entrance when you're alone. I think effecting regular doors could work really well in ghostCodes, especially for maps that don't have blast doors, like mansions or modded interiors

[halcyon path]

either i dont understand how ghost girl mode works or i configured something wrong

i can def see her turning off the lights but cant get the signals

ok it works but only after resetting the config

weird

i had the codes set to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

So far it looks like lgu's fast encryption breaks it

testing this rn

works

fast encryption just breaks it

[wild wasp]

I mean yeah, we stop the RPC.

I can look at it and see if I can make it take from outside calls.

[molten dune]

wonder what was conflicting in the config

[molten dune]

Can def look into something like this. I agree it'd be a really cool effect and help with custom interior compatibility

[molten dune]

if you have the flicker lights setting on then yea the lights wont stay out as they'll start to flicker after. If you need to disable the lights flickering setting for any reason then the lights will stay out after the breaker is flipped the one time. (you can change the chances of it happening to super low as well if you just want it to be a very rare occurence it's set to 45% odds by default)

[halcyon path]

i might have a backup one

[molten dune]

if I did something like this, what are thoughts on ghostCodes being able to lock doors? (requiring key to open)

think it'd need to be pretty rare

[zinc granite]

lmao

what about temporarily lock

like shuts and locks

maybe minute later unlocks or smth

[molten dune]

[zinc granite]

so it doesnt trap you inside somewhere

but blocks your passage

same as blast doors

[molten dune]

I'll see if I can get something like that to work

[zinc granite]

epic

[molten dune]

I dont think i'll include the function unless I can add to the [LOCKED] hint the time until it will unlock on it's own

[zinc granite]

could make it so an open door can be triggered to close, a closed door can be triggered to either open or to lock

and a locked door can be triggered to unlock

and just treat the triggers same as the others in the mod

[molten dune]

I'll think on it and see

[zinc granite]

chance for when ghost girl is chasing you that the door in front of you shuts and locks at once 😁

[molten dune]

since blast doors can be opened by a terminal op I think locked regular doors would be really OP

[zinc granite]

yeah well

that relies on a terminal operator

all we need is to carry a key for locks

which most people currently ignore

[molten dune]

yea or the lockpicker item

idk if that's a modded addition or vanilla tbh

[zinc granite]

vanilla i think

yeah

20 credits

[molten dune]

i'll think on it for sure. At the very least def want to open/close doors

might make locking a configurable and default it to high rarity

[zinc granite]

could make em spam open and closed for some spooks

[molten dune]

I just can imagine during rapidfire suddenly every door you run into is locked lol

[molten dune]

oh yea just like hungrydoor for the blastdoors

[zinc granite]

even a door shutting in front of you without locking, while being chased by the girl is terrifying

having to slow to reopen it also

[molten dune]

pfft yea lmao

[rich holly]

how about door jam, so you have to hit E few times with a cooldown

with a BANG sound, like you trying to break door open

[zinc granite]

and doors randomly opening through the facility will make it harder to tell when a monster like the bracken is opening doors

make you more paranoid

[rich holly]

random key locks is too harsh

[zinc granite]

or make you forget the way back to the entrance because a door shut behind you

and a different one opened

so you walk down the wrong hallway looking for the exit

[molten dune]

There isn't a vanilla action like this right? Only other mods that have done this if I recall correctly

[rich holly]

not that i remember

[zinc granite]

there is a mod to break doors open with shovels

also diversity is adding monsters breaking open doors

[molten dune]

hmmm, something to think on sure. I know diversity has a button mash sequence at the end of the bracken chase

[zinc granite]

diversity's mobs kicking down doors

[rich holly]

https://youtu.be/VqB1uoDTdKM

sorry

[molten dune]

ahhh nice, I haven't played in a while so dont think i've played with that one

[molten dune]

I'm always here for a cs reference

[safe rapids]

Oh ok ty, so just to be clear it's this setting that you mean, and she'll turn it back on after? (so long as light flickering is kept on)

[molten dune]

yep that's basically it. And you can configure the chance that it'll happen to be lower to make it a more rare event

without the lights flickering there wont be anything to tell the lights to turn back on, which is why you'd want to keep the lights flickering in that case

[safe rapids]

ty, it's very cool, also the transmit thing is very cool too. Here's what I got so far to add a lil variety to the transmitter. Is there any config option for it's frequency aside from total number of ghost code events?

[molten dune]

in the vanilla code it looked like zeekers was gonna have the rarity of her cutting the lights to be 60% of the time (which I thought was way too high) so I set my default to 45%

[safe rapids]

ohhh so that event is the one you meant that was in the code but didn't work quite right, very neato

and ye we do a lil trollin with the transmitter

[molten dune]

at the moment they are completely tied to some of the more rare special event codes. I might change that in the future and have the messages instead just be tied to their own rarity

like during rapid fire there's a good chance you'll see multiple messages since the special events are more likely to happen

[molten dune]

I'm here for the trolling haha

[safe rapids]

ohhhhh that must have been what happened, at one point I got gigaspammed and wasn't sure if it was intended lol

but another time it was pretty rare

I actually have it set so that the transmit thing goes slower than vanilla tho so it's more noticable for me

nerfs it a lil, more SUSpenseful

[molten dune]

yea completely tied to the different events || (hungrydoor, turretberserk, mineboom, etc.) ||

[molten dune]

sounds very suspenseful lol

[safe rapids]

is it set currently so any time one of those events happens the transmit thing happens?

Also so long as im buggin you I was curious of one more thingy - if it's set to GGE bypass does that mean ghost codes will only happen on ghost girl maps when the ghost girl is present? Because I think I heard the terminal do a code on experimentation but there was no ghost girl for the whole rest of the mission

[molten dune]

1. yes that is correct. which is why im thinking of separating them entirely and having it be it's own rarity every code regardless

2. with GGE bypass any moon that is set in the bypass list will default it over to another mode from GGE. So if you have insanity mode enabled it'll use that, and if you have insanity mode disabled it'll use just the regular set/random interval mode

#2 was requested by people who noticed that most maps with blast doors dont have a ghostgirl and still wanted ghostcodes to happen on those maps

you can keep it off if you want the mod to only ever interact with the girl, but I think it's nice for the experience of always having some sort of ghostcodes going on

[safe rapids]

Oh so thats so weird then, because I had vanilla settings, at least for those, so GGE bypass was not enabled on experimentation, yet had a code, and no ghost girl appearance

[molten dune]

hmmm odd

if you see it happen again feel free to drop a log

I didnt test the feature much other than to make sure it worked for moons I explicitly stated in the list and then for moons that should have a ghost girl

I used Vow for bypass mode and Dine for non-bypass

[safe rapids]

You got it, and ty again for answerin me questions fren

[molten dune]

np! thanks for checking out my mod 🙏

[quick crow]

when does ghost girl's signal translator messages appear? when she appears?

also, do the translator messages only show up to the haunted player? would be neat if they did

[molten dune]

1. during specific ghostcodes
2. Everyone sees them in current implementation

I dont think I will ever make things only for the haunted player, as everything else with this mod can affect everyoneand I think I want to stick with that theme

had the same thoughts regarding the flickering lights

[quick crow]

which specific ghostcodes?

[molten dune]

|| ggCodeBreakerChance, turretNormalBChance, turretInsaneBChance, mineNormalBChance, mineInsaneBChance, hungryDoorNChance, hungryDoorIChance||

any time a code is called on one of those config options

so if you have those set to high chance values, you'll see more messages

I've pretty much convinced myself to change this in a future update though, and have messages have their own rarity

[safe rapids]

I def would love an option to only have the translator messages when the ghost girl is around in a future update, makes more sense given the more blatant malevolence of false/threatening messages that they would only occur during active hauntings

[molten dune]

this sounds doable, in this case are you using ggebypass to have codes run on moons where a ghost girl isn't present? Or are you not using GGE at all?

[halcyon path]

hmmm

would be cool if the ghost could log the previously sent messages and then add them to the pool

[rich holly]

found minor incompatibility with Diversity

when insanity happens and lights start turning on an off - it causes bracken to earrape everyone with screams each second

[halcyon path]

lmaooooooo

[rich holly]

looks like ghost codes use fuse box to blink the lights

and bracken in diversity hates that

[molten dune]

thats not good

im guessing a bracken has to be spawned for that to happen which is why I missed it in testing

[halcyon path]

yup

[rich holly]

yeah

[halcyon path]

does he not have an internal cd for screaming?

for the sound at least

[rich holly]

looks like it's not

[halcyon path]

id just ask diversity dev to add one and roll with it

feels more like a feature than an incompatibility to me from ghostcodes side

[rich holly]

perhaps, yeah

diversity dev is working on 2.0 update, so even if he fix that it won't be any time soon it seems

diversity also breaks quicksand mechanics at the moment, which is really sad

[halcyon path]

forwarded that to him

[molten dune]

Yeah I think to fix that incompatibility on my side I'd need to touch the lights on my own without using the breaker, which could get kinda messy idk

[halcyon path]

i wonder if bracken will also spam screams if you just flip the breaker yourself

only one way to find that out......

[molten dune]

i'll keep an eye on what diversity dev says, in the meantime i'd just recommend disabling flickering lights in the config if you're running diversity as well to avoid that situation

[rich holly]

nobody lived long enought to check that out, lol

[molten dune]

I think a bracken constantly screaming is a little too much lol

[halcyon path]

lmaoooooo

[molten dune]

funny thing is, I think the way it'd work with ghostCodes is whoever is being haunted would also get run down by the bracken

because they're the one that is technically flipping the breaker constantly

[halcyon path]

marked by death

[rich holly]

or disable bracken reaction to fuse box in the diversity config

he still can hate you for the battery

[molten dune]

yeah it's whatever you prefer disabling ^^

[halcyon path]

battery+facility meltdown is the funniest combo ever ngl

[molten dune]

[rich holly]

• snatchin bracken mod

[halcyon path]

that one is compatible??????????????? getting it rn

[molten dune]

wait what does snatchin bracken do?

[rich holly]

bracken kidnaps you instead of instakilling

[halcyon path]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/8/BrackenReworked/

this one i think

[rich holly]

nah

[halcyon path]

ah ok

[rich holly]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/readthisifbad/SnatchinBracken/

[molten dune]

wait that's hilarious LMAO

[halcyon path]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh im def getting this

[rich holly]

yeah, and the funniest thing is that kidnapped players can scream while being dragged away

and you can even try to save them

by using shovel ofc

or teleport

[molten dune]

so does the bracken kill you wherever he stops or?

[rich holly]

yes, when he reaches his destination - he kills

but sometimes hesitates

so there's some time to chase and try to save your friend

[molten dune]

that's pretty neat

[rich holly]

i was able to kill one bracken like that

he dragged my friend away, i picked up his dropped shovel and followed his screams

i attacked bracken once, he dropped friend and was stunned or something

then i was able to kill him

i'm not sure how it will work with bracken dimension from diversity tho, i've disabled that feature

[halcyon path]

there's only one way to find out...........

[rich holly]

i think he teleport one player into dimension, and kidnap all other players

something like that

as snatching bracken replaces killing

[halcyon path]

no, he only starts killing when he's angry or something

ah you meant from the snatching part

[molten dune]

yea Im sure best case scenario some errors get thrown in console lol

[halcyon path]

yeah probs

[rich holly]

one thing i hate about the dimension though is that you can't recover the body

and get fined

and it's kinda unavoidable

[halcyon path]

tested this out, hm, doesnt sound too bad for me

i thought the sounds were gonna overlap

[rich holly]

they were almost overlapping

and loud as hell

it's fine if it's only one time

but continiously...

hmmmm

so if i enable that, bracken take his victim to his favorite spot and kill only after some time, if i understood that right

sound even more fun

[safe rapids]

My personal pref would be having a setting such that even with GGEbypass enabled there's a config so the codes for signal transmitter messages only show up when the ghost girl spawns. Something like binding those messages to ghost girl mode even with bypass enabled. Mostly because it makes all the messages make more sense if they only occur when the girl is in play.

[molten dune]

ok thank you for clarifying. I'm pretty sure this is what I thought you meant but wanted to be sure. I can look to add this setting in a future update 👍

[safe rapids]

Thank youuu!

[molten dune]

see here - https://github.com/darmuh/ghostCodes/issues/5

hoping to somehow clear that up and make it less confusing at some point in the configuration description. I might have to resort to linking to a wiki page or something though lol

part of the problem of making the mod so configurable I guess

[safe perch]

how do i fix this?

i kinda lost the logs so i cant share it sadly

because i openned the game again

[molten dune]

is this reproducible? Would definitely help to have a log file.

[velvet jewel]

Reddit clip

[quick crow]

now that i pay attention to it, the light flickering noises are really loud

[safe perch]

hmm im not entirely sure but ghostcodes doesnt work with my set i think. maybe because i have some somewhat broken mods like CustomSounds and InsanityRemastered?

i think when we played yesterday. i didnt even see it do anything.

no light flickering. no door opening or closing.

i have almost everything on though except the epilepsy thing. cuz some of my friends cant handle those

[clever skiff]

these codes seem haunted

[halcyon path]

insanity works

[safe perch]

i dunno why but both doesnt work with mine atm

018d4bcb-5c6a-c47f-8782-59f7824d9569

this is the modpack i have

i cant get the dependency string atm since i dont have my pc with me

[paper grotto]

They sound like a paper clip being thrown around inside a glass jar

lol

[modest plover]

Is GhostGirlFearReset useful with ghostCodes?

[safe rapids]

I feel like this may have been mentioned before but I had a game yesterday where the lights flickering ghostcode event happened and the signal transmitter one coincided with it. The transmitter then spammed messages as fast as possible (interrupting it's own messages halfway through them) for the rest of the moon, which was from around 10am ingame to 12pm when the ship left it was still spamming. I have slower time on too!

Definitely think it shouldn't be queueing up like 100 translator msgs when that event happens lol.

[azure snow]

same question
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Financier/GhostGirlFearReset/

[molten dune]

looking at the mod description I dont see any reason why they wouldnt work together

[azure snow]

👍🏻 _ _

[molten dune]

I'm looking to modify this behavior in a future update. Been pretty busy with non-modding stuff and havent had time to work on this mod

[bitter spoke]

Yeah it definitely spams a bit too much. A command in the terminal to prevent broadcasts for a certain amount of time could be a cool way to stop it

[winter ridge]

is this a feature of insanity mode?

[quick crow]

what are you referring to

[winter ridge]

lights and flashlight not toggling

sometimes this happens and lasts for a very long time and it becomes too noisy and annoying

[quick crow]

hm, i don't know anything about that

[safe perch]

should be ghostcodes

you can adjust the duration on the configs

noise depends on your audio mod

[winter ridge]

alright ty

how do i adjust only light flicker?

i did not understand the config

[signal lantern]

light flicker spam happens only on bunker, due to not having any metal doors

and you prolly generated almost no mine or turrets so the only thing the ghost terminal can spam is lightsd

[winter ridge]

it's not only on bunker. on most custom dungeons. it happens on scoopy's sewers and LC_Office too

[signal lantern]

yeah the lack of metal doors

if you had them they would use them more instead of the light

[safe perch]

one reason why i lowered a lot of duration on most stuff

[winter ridge]

can anyone send me their config for custom dungeons?

no i mean ghostcodes' config. sorry if i made it confusing

let me rephrase this lmao. can anyone send me their ghostcodes' config file that works well with custom dungeons?

[safe perch]

actually

it varies to the dungeon

not all dungeons have the same type

some has doors

some doesn't

some has electric power

some doesn't have power

some has lights

some has torches

some has other floors

some are just stuck to ground level

or some are even underground

so codes are mostly affected by those

for me. i disabled the colors from the lights. adjusted the frequencies by 40%

as in i lowered everything by 40%

though the weight still the same for the chances

i only lowered the duration

@winter ridge are those helpful?

[winter ridge]

yes but it would be nice if you could send the config file 💀

[safe perch]

im not on my pc atm. but i didn't really touch a lot

[winter ridge]

It’s alright whenever you can

I didn’t understand the config

[lucid hedge]

Can ghostcodes type eject? lol

[azure solstice]

It can but I don't think it's supposed to, I noticed I heard the eject warning sound go off once lol

[lucid hedge]

I remember hearing it like every minute or so during a session

even if it can, it definitely cannot confirm it so all good

[azure solstice]

@molten dune Been having ghostcodes be super buggy reccently doing the normal Insanity stuff on T3 planets and it seems to be throwing stack traces like this every time

[azure solstice]

Are there any known mods that might conflict?

[azure snow]

not really a conflict I get this error with only using this mod in a test profile
I reported it a month ago, they might be very busy
but it happens during start of round or the end of an old one.
if you get fired as well etc.

[azure solstice]

Yeah but are there mods that might be conflicting that cause rapid fire to go off on Tier 3 planets? it's like GGE mode isn't working properly

[azure snow]

the only one I had was the bracken flashlight flicker function from diversity.

[azure solstice]

That was breaking GGE mode?

[azure snow]

did it also like not stop for you or last like almost the entire run on the moon?

[azure solstice]

Yeah it would last like the entire run and start early on when entering

We were playing on Titan

[azure snow]

wait so was I hmm
i'll have to test further just wanted to let you know that error spits out with the mod alone.
the flicker being a possible conflict with diversity is just speculation because that was the only mod i had in my pack
that messes with a light source.

[molten dune]

Unfortunately yes I've been pretty busy with non-modding things. This mod likely needs a rework and once i've completed my other mod's rework this one will get some much needed attention. I did appreciate the report btw and will get to it when I can 👍

I'd recommend reading this post I put out explaining the config options. You may be able to minimize potential issues with a better understanding of what config options do what. https://github.com/darmuh/ghostCodes/issues/5#issuecomment-1903346735

[azure snow]

no worries mate :3 I figured as much
thanks I'll take a look

[azure solstice]

I may just disable GGEBypass then, could just be it's not working properly when toggled

cus I didn't have Rend, Dine, or Titan added to the list for it

Otherwise I've no idea

[azure snow]

i'll test with the link provided
i can let you know if you want lunxara

[molten dune]

i'd recommend trying to disable just insanity mode first.

also, if you're running custom interiors there could be some issues there. There isnt really any hard compatibility for them

[azure solstice]

I only just recently added Office, and it works well with Office tbh ^^ this issue has been happening since before that so I always suspected a mod conflict somewhere

[azure solstice]

I left insanity mode enabled but just disabled the rapid fire mode of insanity mode

Cus really I had rapid fire happen enough for one night last night, and the eye flashing and stuff causes such immense eye strain

https://clips.twitch.tv/NaiveAcceptableFishPlanking-0UDK-lLQia8CFZzw Insanity mode is just good for moments like this 😆

[molten dune]

think darmuhsTerminalStuff (the mod I've been focusing on as of late) is in a good/stable spot. Starting work on this mod's rework now.

if you're curious what a rework entails, you can take a look at the differences between these two branches

https://github.com/darmuh/TerminalStuff/tree/2.2.X/DarmuhsTerminalCommands

https://github.com/darmuh/TerminalStuff/tree/3.0.0/DarmuhsTerminalCommands

I dont think this one will take as long, as it is a relatively smaller mod. That said, i'll post progress updates here on occasion

[azure solstice]

I look forward to the rewrite ^^ can't wait to see what you do with it, maybe GGE mode will no longer be a Beta 😄

[fickle estuary]

does rapidFire refer to lights flickering or the terminal repeatedly sending messages?

[molten dune]

rapidFire refers to the terminal sending messages repeatedly. With insanity mode it's called during the maximum insanity level whereas with ghost girl enhanced mode it is called during the chase sequence

If you only want rapidfire to trigger when a ghost girl is chasing you then you should disable insanity mode. (this is a common request I'd seen in the past)

[fickle estuary]

gotcha, thanks!

[molten dune]

np! I'm going to try to make these config options make more sense following the mod rework

[molten dune]

in the meantime I did try to draw up a logic map to help explain things better here

[fickle estuary]

that helps a bunch

does GGEbypasslist work with modded moons?

[molten dune]

it can, just depends on if you have the modded moon's name value that the modder gives it

[floral jolt]

https://github.com/darmuh/ghostCodes/blob/c2bbd8eaf91c1f8c417646565a220a12d71711fa/ghostCodesPatch.cs#L45

@molten dune your link has an unfortunate series of letters in it

[molten dune]

yeah I was very confused for a second there

Thanks for linking it 🙂

[floral jolt]

automod thought you were trying to slip something nasty by the filter, hehe

[molten dune]

@fickle estuary the link above is how the config options are checked

[molten dune]

yeah I think I see what word it thought i was using. Understandable timeout had it not been a github link lol

[grave wind]

Request to make the signal translator not repeat the same text multiple times and ajust how often it's triggered.
It spams the same message a few times in a row so I had to disable it.

[molten dune]

pinging you just to check in since it's been a while 😅 . I'll probably look at your code when I get to this part of the rework but figured i'd ask too. Think it might be a good idea for me to check (when your mod is detected at startup) if there is an active meltdown happening during my code handling logic. Do you happen to have a public boolean or anything like that to indicate the meltdown is happening that I can reference? I'm specifically trying to make sure I dont mess with the meltdown's effects on facility lights with my own lighting effects.

[woven canyon]

uhhh i think MeltdownAPI.MeltdownStarted should work

idk if thats in the live version atm

[molten dune]

Also, for any other mod devs i'll be including a public bool called endAllCodes which can be set to true from external sources. You can set this to true to stop any active code handling events. Just remember you'll need to set it back to false when you want codes to start getting run again (in the same moon)

[molten dune]

Awesome! I figured you might have something like that but wanted to make sure

And I remembered you wanted the ability for your interior to have an event that stops ghostcodes so you might want to use that bool once I get this rework done

[keen vine]

the idea of having ghost codes work with the ghost girl is great

you could use ghost codes as part of a "ghost girl expanded" mod where you add that ability among others lol

[molten dune]

that's the plan! here's some WIP content

[keen vine]

W

I always thought the ghost girl could have been worked on more tbh

She's unknown to the company (a company that has managed to document the Jester) and is seemingly on multiple moons

without modding only one of her can spawn

[azure solstice]

Oh I love that

How far along is the rewrite? 💜

Looks like you've already made so much progress

[keen vine]

Speaking of the rewrite, if possible it would be cool if the terminal reacted in some way just before/during/after the ghost code part activates

Like, the screen glitches a little or something

to show that the ghost is in the machine

[azure solstice]

I hope the rewrite also fixes ghostcodes being able to enter the eject command lol

[keen vine]

eject funny

[azure solstice]

it just sets off the warning sound, but it also means it wastes the code doing something else like blowing up a mine or sending a turret into a frenzy or something

[keen vine]

hm

maybe you could allow it to run the eject command, but if it does, it runs another command directly after

to screw with someone and actually still do something

[molten dune]

getting there, still a lot of content I want to include before pushing anything out but I've at least got the core of the rework done

also need to ensure everything that was ported over from the old version of the code still works lol

[keen vine]

so is insanity mode now dead?

[azure solstice]

you got this 👍

[molten dune]

At the moment the code broadcasted effect gets played as well as a sound (if you have them enabled). I do think a screen glitch would be a cool idea though

[molten dune]

Insanity mode is fully supported

[keen vine]

ok

[molten dune]

and adding some more configurable debuffs besides solo assist

[molten dune]

that shouldn't be possible LMAO

[keen vine]

Specifically for ghost girl mode, I think the codes should favor targeting objects around the person getting haunted (or just people in general)

[molten dune]

unless you mean just the sound that plays from the eject command

[keen vine]

as if the girl is playing with that person

[molten dune]

in which case that is intended and can be disabled lol

[molten dune]

I still lean towards random being better. Makes the moments where she does mess with you feel even more unexpected

[keen vine]

hm

[molten dune]

I do have some things that will only take effect if the player is near the certain objects

[keen vine]

Maybe a compromise would be the most interesting

aka if she's actively chasing someone, then that would be the time to have the objects get targeted

otherwise its random

[molten dune]

but has nothing to do with the blast doors or mines or turrets

[keen vine]

or something like that

[molten dune]

may attempt this later on, but first I'd like to see how some of the new events turn out with full randomization

[keen vine]

That makes sense

Personally I think this game is missing the spooky psychological horror part

not that it necessarily needs it

but it is lacking in the scary department

[keen vine]

got any teasers for new events 👁️

[molten dune]

oh I will also say, without spoiling too much, I am making an old busted myth around the ghost girl true (configurable). Mostly because I think it is a hilarious concept

[keen vine]

myth

🤔

[molten dune]

im also adding a few mechanics that require either a coordinated effort from the group or will have everyone turning on each other

[keen vine]

its over

cooked

messing with the walkies could be funny

we have a lot of mods to cause chaos so I don't know if that was your mod or another mod

but some mod said that was planned

[molten dune]

spoiler: ||this one can (will be by default) be configured to require participation from more than just the haunted individual||

[molten dune]

for this mod, I've definitely been trying to add to the chaos without making the game horribly unfun

I think I did plan on messing with the walkies before

[keen vine]

in general I deem anything unfun as: incredibly hindering to the point where you have to jump through 20 hoops to play the game constantly

or

haha get insta killed

looking at you insanity reworked

[keen vine]

why do the lights turn red?

[molten dune]

||this is a revamped look to rapidFire, if you prefer not changing the color of the lights you can disable it. The color is configurable and the rate at which lights flicker is also much more configurable (saw a lot of requests for a much slower time between lights turning off and on)||

[keen vine]

||The lights changing would make sense if the facility has emergency lights, which they don't. I understand prioritizing what people want over "lore" but thanks for adding the option lol||

[woven canyon]

||facilitymeltdown||

[keen vine]

||true I guess lol||

[molten dune]

||yea I dont want to impose the "right" way to play on anyone. I had planned on doing the color change during the last release but decided against it because I hadn't gotten it to look great in my own personal opinion. Still, some have requested it from older WIP videos where I was testing it||

[molten dune]

plan to have full compatibility with that mod's events btw

[keen vine]

theoretically if you're adding your own personal lore to ghost girl by having her able to tamper with electronics, you could do anything you want really

could mess with the walkies (or talk through them), the TV, the ship's radar

active radar boosters

flashlights

the zap gun itself, but that one is more just being annoying lol

[molten dune]

100% agree, still want to make sure if there's anything added it can also be removed

[keen vine]

of course

that's why configs exist

[molten dune]

[keen vine]

hell I mean

if you wanted to make it harder you could have her interfere with the teleporter's "signal"

could go the route of preventing a teleport if she's too close, or scrambling who gets teleported

annoying though

[molten dune]

[keen vine]

not a good sign lol

[molten dune]

probably wont do that though because people will just think some mod broke the teleporter

[keen vine]

if you do that you should have a unique tell

something that shows it was your mod and not a glitch

[molten dune]

yepp, agree

I don't wanna spoil too much, but I do have some ideas

[keen vine]

a good troll would be activating the inverse teleporter if someone is within the teleport range

but that is way too annoying lol

[molten dune]

hahaha yeah that would feel TOO targeted

||but I do have some ideas for the teleporters ||

[night horizon]

yea-

Also I'm gonna wait until your mod's newest update comes out to add to my immersive modpack

[molten dune]

yeah current release isn't in the best state so fully understandable

[night horizon]

yeah

And it works with Facilitymelt down as you said-

Espically how I added the chance mod and lethal radiation mod too

[keen vine]

you could push an update that polishes the basics out, and then wait and give us all the new content

[molten dune]

I prob will do something sort of like this. There are some core functions of the mod I have ported over but still need to ensure they are working properly

mod needed a huge rework which resulted in rewriting a lot of the older stuff

[keen vine]

I think some features should be restricted to ghost girl mode though

[molten dune]

A lot of features, specifically ones that interact with her, absolutely will only work in ghost girl enhanced mode

[keen vine]

I understand insanity mode existing to allow the mod to work when no girl exists

but you should save the fun stuff for when she does exist

[molten dune]

hmmm

you've given me an idea for a config option lol

[keen vine]

that's why I'm yapping in here

[keen vine]

I know the ghost girl has specific AI states that she will cycle through, is it possible for you to add another one?

[molten dune]

you mean add additional ghost girls?

[keen vine]

a new AI phase

here let me type it out

Point being, the girl is limited in her attacks in that she can only begin her skipping phase if you look at her more than once. She is also restricted in her appearance, being unable to spawn in your FOV. There are ways to keep her from attacking you, either staring at the monitor the entire time or having your back to the monitor and looking outward (you can even move the terminal to wedge yourself into the corner and be on the terminal and looking out, rendering her useless for attacking)

For the idea of improving her, there could be something unique happen in the event she is "softlocked"

she endlessly fails to spawn, or she spawns but can never attack

then she would switch to something unique and do whatever shenanigans I dunno didn't think that far

maybe increase the rate the ghost codes go off, or something like that

[molten dune]

hmmm

i'll have to think about that one

also you never know, zeekers might push out an AI update for her in v50

[keen vine]

true, but doubtful

the enemy AI hasn't really changed since they get added from what I know of

unless something is a glitch

Like standing on railings used to dodge the jester

now it'll just walk up there and rip you in half

[molten dune]

If I remember right I think the thumper got an AI rework

so if zeekers is aware of any issues with the ghost girl ai and wants to fix them there is a chance

but yeah, def could see a ghostgirl AI rework mod for what you're asking

might be outside the scope of this project

[keen vine]

Fair, but for the purposes of this project you could take that into account

if you have a way to track her failed spawns you could check if she failed to spawn more than twice in a row (indicating someone is cheesing her) then do X Y Z

[molten dune]

yepp, I see where you're coming from

i'll think about it

[keen vine]

ok

even if you do it you shouldn't worry about it right now lol

new features first, anti cheese later

[keen vine]

^ most fair mod

[keen vine]

@molten dune if you wanted to really target someone you could have turrets detect them no matter what direction its facing if ghost girl is chasing them

lmao

[keen vine]

Do we have any progess updates on this mod

I need it

[molten dune]

ran into some issues that are quite a headache so I've been taking a break from developing this mod in particular

I was also on a bit of a vacation the last week or so 🙂

will prob start workin on this some more later this week

[azure solstice]

c; sorry you ran into some issues that gave you a headache before bud glad to see you hopefully getting the rewrite out soon

It'll be great for V50 too, cus when I use the mod with V50 it does work but causes some networking spikes lol

[molten dune]

yea I did see something mentioned about that in the compatibility sheet, will have to see what was causing that

[azure solstice]

Probably the networking changes done in V50

It must make the networking patch a bit unstable

I imagine it'd work fine for now if that is disabled

[molten dune]

there is some messy code in current release which is why I wanted to rework the mod. I'd imagine that is also very possibly the issue

[azure solstice]

Possible yeah

[keen vine]

Are the mods all open source

Even if it’s messy maybe I could just go in there and erase the network patch bit lmao

[molten dune]

yeah I've recently updated the licenses you should be good to go

ghostCodes is under MIT to be specific

https://github.com/darmuh/ghostCodes?tab=MIT-1-ov-file

[pastel widget]

Me when I start tweakin inside the facility

Question on how this mod works since this is somehow my one kryptonite mod

Let’s say I have ghost girl mode enabled, facility only starts tweakin when she is spawned on the map, correct?

And then I have insanity mode, which scales the amount of actions done based off of either individual or group? Sanity levels

Then if I have that config setting that allows both, and I have moon overrides set, so let’s say experimentation has a ghost girl spawn of 1, and I have it on that override, meaning that no ghost codes activity will happen until a ghost girl spawns, correct?

[pastel widget]

Oh right I should probably

@molten dune

[molten dune]

I created a flowchart for someone with similar questions on my github here. It's very complicated at the moment. Hoping to simplify some things and make it more intuitive once I've got this rework done.

https://github.com/darmuh/ghostCodes/issues/5

[pastel widget]

🙏

[keen vine]

do you think it'll actually work to erase the network bit

lol

[molten dune]

no lmao

[keen vine]

sad

[molten dune]

theres a bit more to it than that

[keen vine]

if we just use the mod in v50 does it not work

[molten dune]

the good news is, Im back to working on this mod again

[keen vine]

pog

[molten dune]

from what i've heard there's an issue people are experiencing in v50 that would sometimes happen in v49

but more regularly in v50?

[keen vine]

what's the issue

[molten dune]

im not sure exactly

no one has reported it to my github or anything

i just search ghostcodes on occasion in the server and see what people are sayin

in general, I do know theres a few things I have fixed in my current dev branch that are not in the current released branch. Cant remember exactly what it all is though lol

gotta remember i've been working on it off/on for a couple months

[molten dune]

getting this minor feature to work without adding any dependencies ->

minor spoiler, although the above has been recommended quite a bit as ||a way to fight back against ghostCodes||

[molten dune]

good news, ^above dev branch feature seems to be unaffected by v50 update 🙂

[molten dune]

I wanted to put together a bit more content before pushing an update, but I may release an updated/stable version this weekend anyway just to have something better for the latest update of the game.

[halcyon path]

oh

i think i had something rn

game got stuck on seed

nvm wasnt ghost codes 😦

[molten dune]

It may not have been caused by ghostCodes but there will be better error handling for situations like that in the rework

[halcyon path]

Sorry wasn't ghost codes, I just saw the error being literally below the culprit

I think ghost codes worked flawlessly for me so far on v50

[molten dune]

Glad to hear, hopefully the rework works the same for you 😁

[pastel widget]

Wait this nightmare works on v50

[molten dune]

Today's the day, pushing the latest stable version I have of ghostCodes in development

[pure hearth]

🔥

[fringe inlet]

@molten dune
I should have grabbed a log. Will do in a few.

With this test pack. using Ghost Codes 2.0.0 I (The Host) get locked in the terminal. I cannot type. Pressing ESC or TAB opens the pause menu.

018edfbf-2353-7248-dbc0-cae8b51ec138

Run pack. Enter Terminal. Frozen.

I will have a log in a bit. Running other tests atm.

[molten dune]

Thank you for the report, i'll check it out

If you want to grab logs I recommend making sure the extensive logging config option is enabled

sheeesh this is a huge profile

think I might know what the issue is

testing some things, might be an easy fix

[molten dune]

alright gonna send out a hotfix here shortly

ok just uploaded, should see it in thunderstore and then mod manager over the next 15 mins or so

---------------------------------------- Relevant Changelog Information ----------------------------------------

[2.0.1] CURRENT VERSION

• Hotfix to address compatibility issues with Terminal patch and other mods.
  • Thanks to SourceShard of the modding discord for the quick report!
  • Ghostly responses on the terminal will now always return to regular green terminal text color after 3 seconds.
    • May change this in the future with an alternative solution.

[halcyon path]

o

this looks awesome ngl

[molten dune]

tried my best

[pastel widget]

please changelog on the thunderstore page

other than that thank u

[molten dune]

I’m not sure why it disappeared lol

[pastel widget]

Weird

[molten dune]

Yeah it’s in the package that I uploaded tho…

so idk why the site didnt add it...

oh...

I misspelled it LMAO

find it here, https://github.com/darmuh/ghostCodes/blob/master/PackageStuff/CHANGELOG.md

next update the changelog will be posted to thunderstore

the file was named CHAGELOG.md

[pastel widget]

oop

[pastel widget]

@molten dune why are you evil

I like loading in the mod before reading the changelogs

And my ship lights are getting diddled and scared the hell out of me

[glacial nimbus]

I wonder how well this mod plays with my Automaticsignals mod 🤔

Could someone remind me to test that in a few hours?

[pastel widget]

yep

should be no overlap

well no

Im thinking about old ghost codes

https://tenor.com/view/jerma-stare-gif-25080910

who knows what devious changes have been added (still havent fully read the changelog)

[molten dune]

https://tenor.com/view/shrek-smirk-shrek-sus-shrek-smile-gif-4983018699107868283

[pastel widget]

oh shit right i had something to report

not about this mod

[molten dune]

I can take a peak at your code on GitHub as well

[pastel widget]

cough

uh

I always feel bad pointing stuff like this out but I actually am very confused what this is supposed to say / do

[molten dune]

Ah whoops, that config option shouldn’t say that lmao

[pastel widget]

oop pt.2

[molten dune]

It’s basically a list of config options that you want to have disabled if a ghost girl is not present

[pastel widget]

ooooh

ok

oh shit

So im assuming this just draws from whatever audio files you have for ghost girl

meaning it would draw from lethal resonance's ghost girl sounds?

if u have LR

[molten dune]

yepp, it pulls from the sounds associated with the ghost girl

[pastel widget]

radical

[molten dune]

I want to add my own custom sounds in the future, but that's the workaround

[pastel widget]

https://tenor.com/view/i-like-that-i-love-that-like-that-yummy-spicy-wings-gif-14523960

[molten dune]

luckily I did write about it in the readme, just missed it in the config generation portion lol

[molten dune]

[pastel widget]

We've gone beyond technology

[molten dune]

did a quick glance at your github and I think our stuff will play nicely. My signal translator stuff is actually relatively small

check it out here -> https://github.com/darmuh/ghostCodes/blob/master/Interactions/SignalTranslator.cs

If your mod plays nicely with sending regular messages with the signal translator I think it should be fine

I use the vanilla HUDManager.Instance.UseSignalTranslatorServerRpc method

[molten dune]

finally

I was requested to add that functionality back in like January

[pastel widget]

Ive decied to collect all your terminal mods

https://tenor.com/view/power-gif-26477241

[molten dune]

Funny how all of my mods touch the terminal somehow. Can’t seem to escape it 💀

[pastel widget]

the-

the Terminal Toucher

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-edp-huh-what-shocked-wow-gif-17151607

[molten dune]

LOL

[pastel widget]

im so angry i came up with that, im so stupid dawg

[pastel widget]

wait so the terminal reboot fight back mechanic is disabled if there ISNT a Ghost girl

also

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1197391708816679002/1209272759801348206/norizz.gif

[molten dune]

only if you have the associated gcGhostGirlOnly enabled. Otherwise it will work in all modes

[molten dune]

I really wanna see this one in action LMAO

I know it works from testing ofc, but wanna see someone react to it on stream lmao

same with the death note mechanic hahaha

[pastel widget]

bout to scare the etheral bitches by busting it down with a little bit of swag

[molten dune]

yeah it works with any emote so you can also scare them away by flipping them off or pointing

[pastel widget]

Assuming TooManyEmotes counts as well

since those are registered as emoting

[molten dune]

yeppp, as long as they change the same player variables that vanilla emotes do

[keen vine]

oh yeah here we go

the update has begun

[glacial nimbus]

Sounds great 🙂

Thanks for having a look

[azure solstice]

I'm glad about this tbh

[pastel widget]

ghost codes has become 10x better

[azure solstice]

It replaces the need for Dark Mist which has been abandoned and throws errors

[pastel widget]

paired with diversity ghost girl

[pastel widget]

u so right

https://tenor.com/view/will-smith-sniper-gif-25568683

sniping dark mist

wait

hold on

[pastel widget]

you get errors with dark mist?

[azure solstice]

I did yeah, usually would happen with custom interiors lol

[pastel widget]

weird

[pastel widget]

rq im looking to see which mods i should cull or not

Whats your opinion on fairGiants

[azure solstice]

Eh keep it, it's less useful than it used to be but it's still nice XD

[fringe inlet]

🤣

[sick raptor]

Config is so complicated lol

How do I change the mode?

Do I only enable this if I want the ghost girl to set it off?

[keen vine]

yeah using short hand in the configs is only good if you know what they do

like what is "gcInsanity"

I assume its ghost codes insanity

but it could mean anything

could just be me being stupid tho

[molten dune]

unfortunately I dont think I'll be able to simplify the config any more than it currently is. The more configurable the mod has become, the more config options that come with it lol

[molten dune]

I think the readme will explain these config options pretty well, but to answer your initial question: yes, ghostGirlEnhanced is the mode you want enabled for codes to run during hauntings fromt eh ghost girl

[halcyon path]

this reminds me how some modders in steam workshop make "reading comprehension" a dependency 😭

[molten dune]

here's the readme section i'm talking about

[molten dune]

LMAO

I promise I'm not trying to be mean or snarky like that

[halcyon path]

oh no you dont come off as that dw, i was just joking about it haha

[sick raptor]

Yeah I did read it, I just didn't know if that was the mode selection

since they were all enabled

[molten dune]

so in the readme i tried to emphasize primary, secondary, and base mode

so if the primary mode is enabled (gge), it takes priority

the only time the other enabled modes are utilized is if GGEbypass is enabled

GGEbypass was added for people who still wanted ghostcodes to run on moons where it's not possible for a ghost girl to spawn

I point back to the flow chart in the below link which was made for the last version. It still applies for the most part, I just changed the name of a couple config options like gcRandomIntervals to [useRandomIntervals] for a bit better clarity. If you guys have any suggestions on improving the config options' descriptions/names please let me know 🙏

https://github.com/darmuh/ghostCodes/issues/5

[molten dune]

and yes that's what it is supposed to mean, it's the Insanity Mode feature which is a secondary mode

[halcyon path]

oh btw, have you had any feedback of custom transmitter msgs working?

[molten dune]

do you mean another mod? Or the strings I've added in the [signalMessages] config option?

I haven't had any specific feedback no

[halcyon path]

the latter i thinkkk

i remember trying it out like a looooooooong time ago and it wasnt working correctly and then i kinda forgot about it

[molten dune]

hmmm, yea I never received any reports of it not working. That said, the rework did change how it works a bit

there's also a frequency option now so it's not 100% of the time

if you choose

[halcyon path]

oh thats good to know, gonna try it out next time i play with custom text msgs (if i dont forget)

[molten dune]

yep, lots of good stuff in the config file for you to test out

[halcyon path]

what will happen if a msg is longer than the vanilla limit? will it just be cut off?

[molten dune]

not 100% sure, let me double check the vanilla function i use

I don't think there's a limit with the function I used, but i'm just glancing quickly

best way to check is to try to surpass the limit and see what happens

[halcyon path]

i would love to but the fallout series isnt gonna watch itself......

[molten dune]

hahaha fair enough

[rotund rampart]

@molten dune https://github.com/ZehsTeam/Lethal-Company-ToilHead

This is my custom TerminalAccessibleObject.cs

[molten dune]

gotcha gotcha, i'll take a look 👍

[rotund rampart]

Okie

[molten dune]

so, since your stuff is added when the coilhead spawns currently they are not being added to the list of terminalaccessibleobjects that the ghostcodes touch

so I'm going to write in a patch that detects if your mod is loaded and adds the toilhead turrets as accessible

at least, that's the plan

[rotund rampart]

Okie :3

[molten dune]

Changelog is back on thunderstore

[pastel widget]

[molten dune]

added compat with ToilHead in 2.0.2*

version numbers are hard

[pastel widget]

time to literally scratch at this mod until it breaks

tis my duty

[molten dune]

anyway, 2.0.2 has been posted to the thunderstore just now

[rotund rampart]

Yipppee :3

[molten dune]

------ Relevant Changelog Information ------

[2.0.2] CURRENT VERSION

• Fixed incorrect configuration information related to gcGhostGirlOnly & gcGhostGirlOnlyList
  • Also fixed some issues discovered with handling leading spaces.
  • Updated default configuration option to remove spaces after commas anyway.
  • Reworded some other config options for, hopefully, some better clarity.
• Added new config section for any compatible mods that have added functionality to ghostCodes.
  • Called "External Mod Stuff", this will be where you can find config options relating to various compatible mods.
  • The first mod for this section is ToilHeads, which slaps a turret on top of SOME of the coilheads.
  • Like a regular turret, ghostCodes can either disable the turret on their head or make the turret go berserk.
  • Each action has configurable odds and can be completely disabled.
  • Currently both ToilHeads and Facility Meltdown have direct compatibility written into this mod.
• Added the ability for ghostCodes to mess with the teleporters.
  • Find the config options for these interactions in "Ship Stuff"
  • Came with one new patch to grab teleporter instances when they spawn.
• Updated handling from previous hotfix so that ghostly responses will change on loading a new node again.
  • Added some better error-handling cases so that this wont error out like in 2.0.0
  • Also added a check when terminal first spawns to grab the default text colors, rather than assuming it is green.
    • Want to add support for mods that change the text color at some point, as i'm not sure they will have change it this early on.

[molten dune]

I treated it basically the same way I treated regular turrets

I also misread your code earlier and assumed you added them to the vanilla terminalaccessibleobjects so had to do a little bit of extra work lol

[rotund rampart]

Ooooo, I can't wait to test it out ^w^

I'll have to do that tomorrow since I should sleep ;w;

[molten dune]

this is what I ended up doing. Only thing I couldn't do was check if the turret was on cooldown (unless I wanted to publicize your code, which I don't really wanna do without permission) https://github.com/darmuh/ghostCodes/blob/master/Compatibility/ToilHead.cs

[rotund rampart]

What does it mean to publicize?

I've heard about that but don't know what that is or how to do it

[molten dune]

so to access private methods and stuff you can publicize the game code

[rotund rampart]

Just wondering

[molten dune]

so any private void, bool, etc. is now public and can be accessed by your code

[pastel widget]

ah shit im gonna have to redo my configs entirely

when im more sane in like a day or 2 can I come back to ask for your help destroying your probably already fine default configs

[molten dune]

so this bool in your terminal accessible object:

private bool inCooldown;

I have publicized from the regular game code and in visual studio it shows

public bool inCooldown;

that way my code can access it

[rotund rampart]

Are you not able to use reflection?

[molten dune]

nah, it's actually really easy

I learned about it here -> https://discord.com/channels/1168655651455639582/1184353028212535327

[rotund rampart]

Thanks, I'll look at that tomorrow :3

[molten dune]

if I wanted to, all I have to do to publicize your code is add your dll to my project and add Publicize="true" to the reference in the .csproj file

this is what it looks like

idk if it's best practice or not, but it's worked pretty well for me

[molten dune]

hahaha i'll be here to answer any and all questions. I know it's a big config file so there's bound to be questions here and there

[rotund rampart]

Maybe I could make the boolean public or have a public getter?

[molten dune]

oh yeah, if you want to let people access if it's on cooldown all you need to do is change it from private to public

I was just saying, while I could have publicized your code on my end it felt scummy to do without mentioning it

[rotund rampart]

Okie

I'll make some changes for that soon

[molten dune]

sounds good 👍

no big rush on it, as it wont cause any issues on my end atm other than making the berserk event less likely

here's what the berserk event looks like from testing btw

[rotund rampart]

Okie. I'll keep you updated of any big changes that might break stuff since your mod now has compatibility with mine.

[molten dune]

sounds good! Thanks for working with me

[rotund rampart]

Likewise ^w^

[rotund rampart]

Hehe

Seems to be spamming this error a lot

[molten dune]

When these errors show, are you landed on a moon? If so, could you tell me if you landed on a moon in the bypass list (if you still have it enabled) or if it was a moon where the ghost girl can spawn? Also, was anyone actively being haunted by the ghost girl when these errors showed up?

From what I can see on my phone, I need to figure out what I’m referencing in my CanSendCodes() bool that doesn’t exist at the time of these errors

https://github.com/darmuh/ghostCodes/blob/c787e5113be4f2de3ef305654b8a2a3120a5e630/PluginStuff/Bools.cs#L59 is the specific Boolean

I’ll try to recreate the error on my own, I’m guessing they started to show deep into a play session? I’m wondering if maybe my dressgirl variables are slightly behind the update method which spams the error till they are set

[azure solstice]

Yeah I noticed Ghostcodes wasn't working at all

and then saw it spamming those errors

[molten dune]

Could you send me your profile code

[azure solstice]

It worked fine yesterday so something with 2.0.2 is derpy

[molten dune]

Would help a lot

[azure solstice]

018ee87c-c104-d0ef-b2b0-5398737ba088 you'll need to readd it

[molten dune]

Sounds good, thanks!

Will take a look later when I’m at my pc

[molten dune]

should be fixed in 2.0.3, which is posting now

[azure solstice]

Ayyyy, so what was the issue?

[molten dune]

not entirely sure, I think there were a few other mods in the pack that were touching the dressgirl instance so I moved some things around and reworked how my mod handles interacting with the ghostgirl

[azure solstice]

The only other mod I use that touches her would be Diversity

XD

[molten dune]

I also removed a prefix patch, as I've never really liked using it in the first place

[azure solstice]

But it was working fine with 2.0.1 which makes the issue stranger

[molten dune]

Starlancer's AI fix was also throwing errors in your profile (until i removed the test room from the dev mod I added)

[azure solstice]

Ahhhhh

[molten dune]

i dont think it's an issue with their mod specifically though

anyway here's the relevant changelog info

[2.0.3] CURRENT VERSION

• Reworked ghost girl enhanced handling patches to address some null reference errors that were breaking the mod in certain profiles (thank you Lunxara)
  • Removed DressGirl AI Update patch and ended ghostgirlenhanced coroutine when the girl is not staring in a haunt.
  • Removed BeginChasing prefix, it looked to have been interfering with other mods that adjust the AI.
    • Vanilla breaker fix is now done via a postfix. This means the lights will always flicker briefly before they completely go out (depending on the odds if they do of course).
  • Coroutines will now run when the ghostgirl calls different interactions
    • The regular ghost girl enhanced coroutine is called when the girl is staring in haunt.
    • The rapidFire codes will be called when the girl is actively chasing (this is unchanged).
  • ghost codes will now be initialized directly after the blast door codes have been generated,
    • This is much sooner than before, so please adjust your interval configs accordingly.

tbh you might even see a slight performance increase with 2.0.3

[azure solstice]

👍

[molten dune]

thanks again for the bug report, was an interesting one for sure

[azure solstice]

Yeah I was confused by it too XD

[pastel widget]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-funny-cat-raaaawr-gif-23646515

im gonna start violently sobbing

[molten dune]

no config changes luckily

[pastel widget]

Not because of that (yet)

I have fully switched from AC

And I have to go through the hell of the LGU configs

ive been doing this all day

[molten dune]

LMAO

are you finding LGU a suitable replacement to AC?

[pastel widget]

Im in vc with Source

[pastel widget]

I don't know

But I dont have many choices

[molten dune]

fair fair

[pastel widget]

LGU has some quirky stuff in it

it has been the one mod to scare me since i started modding

[molten dune]

LGU is a really cool mod, never played with it but always had respect for the project

for example, their code breakers event would break all the turrets/mines/etc. in earlier versions of ghostcodes i heard

[pastel widget]

Im trying to balance it so where only one person can get high on that super solider serum

or everyone can become equally mid

[molten dune]

lmao i have no idea about that one

deff think next time I play i'm gonna drop LGU on the group

[pastel widget]

there has been 2 mods to scare me since the beginning of LC modding

LGU

and your terminalstuff mod

[molten dune]

lmao why does terminalstuff scare you

[pastel widget]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-joe-swanson-ghosts-horror-death-gif-22655449

config hell

[molten dune]

[pastel widget]

im a perfectionist

i will look at every small feature and ability it had

[molten dune]

hahaha that's fair

took me a long time putting that config together tbh

especially the custom strings, keywords, etc.

[pastel widget]

https://tenor.com/view/trollge-trollface-rain-the-first-trollge-incident-gif-22327227

it would so evil if i made a request

[molten dune]

feel free to, the only reason that mod has gotten so big is from requests

sometimes requests just take me a while, like this mod's rework

[V50 Compatible] ghostCodes v2.0.3

[azure solstice]

How's the suitsTerminal update coming along?

:3

man Discord is being ungodly slow right now

[molten dune]

just started looking into some things, have an idea why suit saver wasnt registering the suit switch

[azure solstice]

Any idea why the Bunny Suit and Bee Suit are being weird though? TooManySuits causes the same issue with those 2 suits where they're only available for the host lol

Clients see them as Orange

[pastel widget]

I haven't dived too deep into that mod yet but i know you can set a custom home ASCII something, but can you customize the color of the text on the terminal

[molten dune]

not yet, but that's always been a planned feature

[azure solstice]

Finally Blue Terminal Text

[molten dune]

I'm wondering if it's an issue with how the item is unlocked then

[azure solstice]

I need it

[azure solstice]

It could be

But TooManySuits has other bugs too atm

Like Clients seeing everyone wearing Orange outfits lol

[molten dune]

yeah i'll see what I can do.. our mods work very similarly so any issues that mod experiences mine probably will too

[rotund rampart]

@molten dune I've released a new update to my ToilHead mod. I made bool inCooldown public. I also made my EnemyAIPatch -> Dictionary<NetworkObject, NetworkObject> enemyTurretPairs have a public getter.

[molten dune]

awesome! I'll put together a small patch to make use of the cooldown variable 😁

[rotund rampart]

I moved the Dictionary<NetworkObject, NetworkObject> enemyTurretPairs to Api.cs

For the public getter

[molten dune]

gotcha, I don't think I utilized that dictionary but good to know 👍

[rotund rampart]

Just in case you ever need it

[molten dune]

also on another note, I stumbled across this reddit post of someone trying out this mod for the first time blind https://www.reddit.com/r/lethalcompany/comments/1c66y63/i_recently_began_using_mods_i_have_regrets/

[keen vine]

Seems like the noises from the terminal can attract dogs

Idk if that’s intended

But damn

[molten dune]

Definitely intended lol, I find it another funny way to get cheesed by the game

you can disable terminal sounds if it's annoying you though

[pastel widget]

@molten dune

https://tenor.com/view/long-beach-griffy-zoom-frustrated-dead-inside-american-psycho-gif-25610613

I am experiencing some difficulties

Same difficulty I had with the old GhostCodes

It appears Football and maybe even Herobrine count towards being a GhostGirl, activating the GhostCodes on a moon

My ass was on Experimentation

Ghost girl has a weight of 1 on that moon, so I should not experience any GhostCodes until the girl spawns

However with football, a ghost enemy, GhostCodes still activates

[molten dune]

hmm, sounds like i'll need to add some compatibility with these mods. If they add their content on top of the dress girl ai enemy then yes ghost codes absolutely will activate

@pastel widget so just to be clear it's Football and Herobrine? Any other mods you've noticed using the ghost girl?

[halcyon path]

i think those two should be the only ones

cause they're basically ghost girl so thats that

[pastel widget]

Maybe slender,

But basically I’ll make sure to do an isolating test when I get home

To make sure it’s not just a skill issue on my part

[molten dune]

@pastel widget appreciate it 🙏 I'll look into how I can differentiate if a ghost girl is a plain jane vanilla ghost girl or not. Whether I need to do it per mod or if I can have a one-size-fits all solution

[halcyon path]

it def fits thematically though...

[molten dune]

can for sure make it a configurable

sorry modpack maintainers

[pastel widget]

It’s a-ok

[molten dune]

so I did some testing on experimentation with a small dev profile and from what I can see the football enemy does not touch the DressGirl AI (the ghost girl's code I access). So my guess is either you were very unlucky and there was a ghost girl present (as well) or maybe you had experimentation in the bypass list and it was going off of insanity?

I also looked at some of the football mod's code and it does look to be very compartmentalized from vanilla game enemy code

this is the profile code I was using 018ef32a-764b-3bec-e221-8602ba313644

[pastel widget]

Fuck

it

[molten dune]

so yea im goin with super unlucky lol

[pastel widget]

we delete the entire config and start over

[molten dune]

I asked kittenji if they could add a public bool for me to check

[pastel widget]

https://tenor.com/view/yaburnt-joker-burn-burnward-calltheburnunit-gif-5274995

[molten dune]

If their enemy is present I can add a config option to disable ghostCodes anyway

I also let them know about my public bool to stop codes from running if they want to stop codes from interfering during the simon says game

next im gonna check out herobrine

im willing to bet since it's from the same creator and on both mod pages they have this listed that it's probably not gonna cause ghostCodes to run lol

[pastel widget]

Well good enough time to do my entire config

@molten dune

what does uh

[molten dune]

so you know when you send like normal codes thru the terminal to open/close doors, disable mines/turrets

that sort of thing?

there's a little effect that displays on the terminal after you type it saying a code was sent

I show the same code on the terminal if you have that enabled for ghost codes

also, looking at the config for HeroBrine it looks like you CAN replace the ghostGirl with herobrine

[pastel widget]

i know, i have this off, and herobrine is only on A+ tier and higher moons

also have you checked the 3 new moons ghost girl spawns?

does she spawn on all 3 or

[molten dune]

I have not lol

I wonder if this is up to date? https://lethal.miraheze.org/wiki/Moons

doesnt seem to have spawn rates for the ghost girl on any of the new moons

[pastel widget]

fuck it this is why we have AC

[molten dune]

[pastel widget]

let me check rq

Artifice

Embrion

Adamncneyrnef

[molten dune]

wow embrion really is 0

ghost girl spawn rates on new moons in v50 (ignore Herobrine)

[molten dune]

@fringe inlet could you perhaps pin this to the thread?

[pastel widget]

i have a secret for you

do /pin #1188262321970229358 message

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-funny-cat-raaaawr-gif-23646515

wh-

oh my bad

do /jeb pin

[molten dune]

ahhhh I see

nice nice

well now i feel bad for the ping lol

[pastel widget]

pst

darmuh

For options like these it would be nice to have likea "Accepted Values: 'blah blah blah, blah 2, blah3'" in the description

[molten dune]

hmm, I could modify it to that. I'm pretty sure when I have that set though you can ONLY set it to the acceptable values. I could be wrong though

my latest suitsTerminal update has a config option like that where I really do only want one of three words

and basically, any config option will be an acceptable value atm, which I probably shouldnt allow for lmao

[pastel widget]

its not that major, luckily im smart enough to be able to read and figure out all the counterplay names

But i do gotta ask just so i dont make an ass out of myself

[molten dune]

there's also the issue of, which I noted in the readme, that if you have any config options in that list and you close the game. They wont revert to whatever you had set when you first launched. So if you were on a bypass moon that disabled all those config options and crashed, your config options will be stuck to that

might need to think up a solution for that, like another config option to hold changed values and what they were or something

[pastel widget]

ok

so

this means

that when she manifests

and starting CHARGING at me

If me and my fellas using the power of friendship

all hit the griddy at once

She will poof, vanish, before she rips the stupid head right off my shoulders for thinking that busting a move will save me from a paranormal entity

[molten dune]

yes, exactly that

she respects the dance squad and stops chasing for the moment

[pastel widget]

Same as this?

[molten dune]

the chance is how often that will actually work

that determines whether or not you enable the check at all

so if ggShowerCheck is false, the chance doesn't matter

[pastel widget]

ik

I'd like to believe my reading skills can at least allow me to understand that

is there like a cooldown for this

oh wait

thers a limit

[molten dune]

hahaha

I'm glad I thought of your questions before you asked them when I was making the config

[pastel widget]

is this per player or total in the day

[molten dune]

per day

and per player

[pastel widget]

ok

[molten dune]

it's not synced between clients

[pastel widget]

so everyone gets one double it and pass it to the next player check

[molten dune]

Let me double check actually that I reset that number per day...

[molten dune]

exactly

[pastel widget]

Also also

Now I read it

Is there an actual cooldown to the command

Theres a limit

But if no cool down I can just spam that shit onto the terminal until they magically accept my restraining order

[molten dune]

yeah no cooldown

[molten dune]

but every time you run the command, that counts towards the total count

not just when it works

[pastel widget]

Cap

It says successfully

I mean i believe you

[molten dune]

ah yeah, you're right

nah im misremembering

[pastel widget]

because other wise the balance would be bullsh-
