[WIP] Unity AssetRipper / Fixer

[trail oriole]

Ok there we fuckin go

[flat stag]

lmao

how am i outdated

this just popped up when i pressed play tho i think

[trail oriole]

I seem to have removed from the OnFocus since it broke old unity. Need to add to OnEnable

Yeah I just looked at it

It'll eventually be in the window as well

[flat stag]

One day (tm)

[trail oriole]

ok this will work, sec we do this again in a sec

ok enter play mode again, just not lan and check

should see another one

[flat stag]

do i not update anything?

[trail oriole]

not yet just say if you see one for the core as well

(I just updated it)

[flat stag]

search for oudated only shows this one

[trail oriole]

what if you search for com.nomnom.unity-project-patcher

[flat stag]

im up to date trust

[trail oriole]

ok check now

Took a bit to update on my end for some reason

[trail oriole]

yippie

Now you can update both :)

[flat stag]

lovely

and both will break just for me

[trail oriole]

no

now it checks versions when you open the window

and I removed the animator rename thing

If that somehow breaks something then I'm calling a priest

[flat stag]

well technicalllyyyy before all this my meteors did work

so something brokey somewhere (probably my fault)

[trail oriole]

[flat stag]

it is pretty weird, cuz it only broke midway through the testing lol, worked like an hour ago

[trail oriole]

Wonder if your mod somehow deleted an asset

idfk

[flat stag]

but i wanted to face punch

[trail oriole]

Probably didn't, no clue what the code does, but it's probably an easy fix anyhow

But anyways, cool. Probably hold off on the dungen thing until I make the thing for it.

[flat stag]

yee sure

ill have to check why its dividing by 0, im gonna guess thats te problem

but yeah all works for me

[trail oriole]

Sick

Well I'm out, good luck

[flat stag]

tyty

okay so i found the problem, all my script stuff got unassigned lol

kind of

its weird

[trail oriole]

I blame you clearly

[flat stag]

probably

[trail oriole]

should be useful I think

[unborn carbon]

alr, started the tutorial today and got stuck at part where you download BepInEx

it looks like UPP isn't detecting the LC game wrapper, so there's no button to download it

it's also weird how using the alternate method of downloading BepInEx ends up fixing it

[trail oriole]

mm weird, might be that the window didn't refresh. Reopening it would have probably done the same fix.

[unborn carbon]

yeah that’s also weird

bc it didn’t do that for me

i opened it like 3-4 times thinking i either did the tutorial wrong and didn’t do something, or, like you said, it just needed to be refreshed

but it was only after i manually installed BepInEx which was when it actually worked

[trail oriole]

Weird, I'll try and reproduce it.

[unborn carbon]

alright, i've used the patcher

but i can't see the assets

it says the file location defaults to the project folder, but it's not there, nor in any other folder in my project

like it didn't even do anything

wait a sec imma try something

okay so i had to hit it twice for it to start actually grabbing the assets from the game

[trail oriole]

?

[unborn carbon]

the first time i hit it (i think, don’t quote me on this bc i forgot) the patcher just made the folders that are supposed to be in the assets folder (like the Assetstore folder, and the LethalCompany folder that has the Game, Mods, and Tools folders in it)

[trail oriole]

The first time you hit it it will tell you to assign the path in the asset you showed in the second picture

[unborn carbon]

oh yeah right

so it was the third time i hit it

[trail oriole]

what

[unborn carbon]

first time i hit it and didn’t assign the lethal company data folder location

so i did that and then hit it a second time

[unborn carbon]

which was when i think this happened, still don’t quote me on it

and then i hit it again and now it’s grabbing the assets from LC

honestly it’s kinda hard to explain

bit confused on what’s really happening with it

so sorry if i can’t help you there with figuring out what happened

[trail oriole]

You sure you just didn't say no to the first popup on the second click? Since it doesn't take three button presses to start working. If you can reproduce it, make a video of it.

[unborn carbon]

i mean it’s not like the button didn’t do anything, bc it did

the first click, i hit it and it said there wasn’t a valid data folder location provided

so i hit the button that came up to bring me to the place where i provide the folder directory

after i did that, i hit the button again, and it started doing stuff

i don’t exactly know what, but after it restarted unity, i saw the LC assets weren’t there

[unborn carbon]

so i hit the button a third time after i said this

and now it’s taking the assets from LC

the wait was way shorter for the second button press than it was for the third

so i knew that it didn’t get the assets the second time i hit it

idk what it did though if it didn’t get the assets

i hope this is making sense, i’m not really the best at explaining stuff

uh

????

i don't know which one to press

[trail oriole]

Send me the log %LOCALAPPDATA%\Unity\Editor\Editor.log

[trail oriole]

This shows that something had a problem. Which tells me it had an error when you pressed it the second time. Start from scratch and look at the console if it stops "early".

[tulip widget]

Wow, this custom game wrapper stuff is astonishing

[trail oriole]

omg it only took me like six hours straight, but I finally made a way to replace assets after you do a patch without it destroying guids

[trail oriole]

I do my best

The reason it didn't update when you imported the game wrapper is because there was an error, which you didn't see since you didn't have the console open

Yep there was an error that you just didn't see as well for the second click you did

Fixing it now so I'll let you know when I push the changes

[unborn carbon]

alr

i’m creating a new project rn

[trail oriole]

I am also adding a popup so that when there is a step failure you will be told very directly to check the console

[unborn carbon]

btw, just thought i should let you know just in case this contributes to the problem

but whenever i first create a project, unity is just completely white

after i close it/forceclose it with task manager, and i go back in, i can actually see stuff

[trail oriole]

Unity is white when it does like boot-loading blocking stuff. Isn't related to my tool (in case you were wondering). Some steps later on do logic in that state, but it's generally fine at that point. Never seen it when loading a new project though, weird

Doing a patch before I push the changes

[unborn carbon]

alr

just say when so i can start testing

[trail oriole]

Mhm

[unborn carbon]

while i'm at it i could also clip the issue i'm having here

if it does show up again, that is

as well as the process i go through when doing it

[trail oriole]

I already posted why that happens

[unborn carbon]

ah

okay

[trail oriole]

Almost done, had to take a bit to figure out why it was complaining with git packages in the package installer

tldr; unity is dumb

https://tenor.com/view/roflandz-mad-kitten-kitten-cute-kitten-kitten-cute-gif-16550226608314266617

ok I pushed the fixes to the packages

@unborn carbon

[unborn carbon]

alr

[unborn carbon]

@trail oriole alright, i have gone through the pain and torment

once more

this time it only took 2 button clicks instead of 3

and the first one was because i forgot to put the directory in again

i'll be sending a video in a bit

i tried to speedrun the process as fast as i could

kinda proud, i did it so fast it looks like i set the video to 1.5x speed in a video editor to save disk space and time

also just in case, here's the editor log if you need it

[trail oriole]

That's not the game folder path

The game folder path is literally the game folder's path

Why are you giving it the data folder

[unborn carbon]

thatssss

because of the tutorial

not your tutorial

but audio knight's

[trail oriole]

[unborn carbon]

since they had used the tool and put the path into the data folder

so i just did that by default

[trail oriole]

They use the old version of the tool, not this one

[tulip widget]

@naive steppe hey mate you need to update your video it appears

[unborn carbon]

god

fucking

FINALLY

almost an entire week

9 projects created and subsequently deleted

and finally

it actually

fucking

worked

[trail oriole]

yay

[unborn carbon]

okay, i think i'm honestly done for the day

i can start this tomorrow

right now i'm kinda cooked

thank you for the help

much appreciated

.

okay

honestly

i cannot right now

i'll just deal with this in the morning

because i doubt i can just switch the unity version for the project and everything will be fine

again thank you for the assistance

i'll see yall tomorrow

peace

[flat stag]

@trail oriole how should i be setting up the unity project in my github so people can clone and have to do minimal things to have what im having rn?

[naive steppe]

I'll update the video's pinned comment later 😓

[flat stag]

to be fair i dont get how they follow your tutorial since the tool is so different lmao

like how did u notice 99% of the process being different, and decide the file path step isnt 😭

[naive steppe]

Yeaaaa I should just record a quick setup update vid, I'm just doin other stuff

[trail oriole]

no clue tbh. The decompiled script version of the project isn't really meant for that (due to legal reasons of the scripts not being stubs, assets being present, etc). What are you "having to do rn"?

[flat stag]

well i said "what im having rn" as in so they can get to where i am in terms of the unity project so theres no conflicts on both side if we commit changes etc

but i was recommended to do stuff like exporting the project and having that on its own git and some other magical things ill have to reread later

[trail oriole]

Gotcha, well if you figure out something good I can make a FAQ for it. Can't test much in-depth atm as I'm a bit busy until monday.

[flat stag]

yee will do

also github got angry at me

[trail oriole]

lol

I personally avoid LFS like the plague these days if others have to touch the repo

[flat stag]

really? i had someone recommend they setup LFS because its a cooperative project

no clue what LFS is tho

[trail oriole]

unless you have files over 100MB, you don't need it. And if you need to include a "build" of something, like an asset bundle or w/e, just put it in the releases as that has no file limit, and that's what that section is made for

[unborn carbon]

I mean to be fair, i DID come from the LC moon tutorial, and the process isn’t ALL that different

[trail oriole]

LFS can backfire quite easily, as every change to an LFS file makes a new duplicate

Every pull of any of the files uses bandwidth

[unborn carbon]

Sure it looks different, but It’s basically downloading 1-2 more packages before running the patcher

[unborn carbon]

Though i did just skim over this part since i just defaulted into thinking it was supposed to be the data folder

[flat stag]

@trail oriole my current solution is to completely gitignore the whole unity project except the path and everything inside code Rebirth folder

Then the person would just run the patcher on their own unity project and just copy paste the folder over

[unborn carbon]

okay uh

quick question

if i were to follow the moon tutorial that audioknight made

https://youtu.be/dnZG5464ZcE?si=1j_wVY7_4Bnvj9Bc&t=1495

from 24:55 to 25:38

would i now need to put that stuff in the BepInEx folder here

or would i need to make the path stated in the tutorial in the tools folder

bc i know that some stuff works differently now with the updated patcher

[trail oriole]

You don't touch the packages.

[flat stag]

the packages touch you

[unborn carbon]

yeah wouldn't be the first time it's happened

[rancid cobalt]

Hey, @trail oriole!

I'd like to ask you something.

I'm quite new to Unity, so it might just be me being stupid...

Is it somehow possible to actually save the settings I enter in the Runtime Settings thingy?

I keep having to check the boxes to skip the into and stuff

[trail oriole]

If you don't save the project then it will revert the asset from my asset patch with the old project generator. So modify it, then Ctrl s.

[rancid cobalt]

I swear I saved though 🤔

[harsh blade]

Alright, I am going to try to transfer my project to the new asset ripper, I know there are instructions, but not sure where to find them?

ah nvm I seem have found it

[unborn carbon]

that's a fun warning message to get

i'm assuming that since i already used the patcher that i

really don't need to care about this, right?

[trail oriole]

The message is there to tell you to update. If you don't want fixes to the tool itself, the bepinex side, or the lc-patcher side, then you can ignore it. But generally you will want to update. It doesn't affect your files. Open the tool window and you can update all at once at the bottom.

[unborn carbon]

alr cool

[flat stag]

@trail oriole familiar with this error?

[trail oriole]

The hell

Never seen that before, something is locked for some reason. Try restarting unity or add via the manifest

[flat stag]

gotcha

[rough pumice]

@flat stag suggested I drop this here: I'm trying to use nomnom's patcher in unity and for some reason it's throwing out a bunch of errors, preventing compiling and playtesting. Am I missing something obvious? I've been following this video as a guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnZG5464ZcE&list=LL&index=1
Apologies if this is something stupid, I'm not much of a programmer and have only really worked with UE blueprints.

[trail oriole]

I suggest using the new patcher at https://github.com/nomnomab/unity-lc-project-patcher @rough pumice (it's a lot more stable)

[leaden spruce]

Does anybody know if the RadMech assets get imported properly here? Whenever they spawn (in Unity player, using debug menu, naturally or if placed as a prefab) they have broken animations for some reason. For example instead of moving their legs while walking, they just slide across the terrain (but before detecting the player they actually walk normally), instead of charging they just freeze, increase their speed and move towards the destination without any collision in a straight line. I wanted to add them to my custom moon, but even if I load the level in an actual game, mechs get f'd up (on this specific level).

I checked and it seems like RadMech related assets are being pulled into an assetbundle, but for some reason not all of them (for example there is no Left/Right foot forward animation in the list, but it's still properly linked in the animator, so idk) can this be a reason?

[leaden spruce]

So after all the problem was with the fact that RadMech assets were pulled into the bundle. I changed my spawning script to prevent it getting associated with these files and it started working. In general Old birds don't work in the Unity editor player (i tried running the patcher twice on clean projects), maybe this will save people some time 😅

[iron dagger]

after running the patcher and importing assets from my old project, all my items became this, do i have to remake them?

[trail oriole]

If this is the new patcher, https://github.com/nomnomab/unity-project-patcher?tab=readme-ov-file#q-how-do-i-migrate-my-current-project-to-this-one

[iron dagger]

yeah i'm using the new patcher, i tried the steps listed here... not sure what i did wrong

i ran the patcher in a new project, then installed the patcher in my old project and scrubbed it, then imported the assets in my new one

[trail oriole]

Imported via this?

[iron dagger]

yep

[trail oriole]

What script is that Scriptable Object using

[iron dagger]

Item

[trail oriole]

hmm

Maybe try this one instead https://github.com/nomnomab/unity-project-patcher?tab=readme-ov-file#q-how-do-i-add-assets-after-patching-to-the-current-project. I can't look at the code atm to see what the issue might be, so if that doesn't work either then I will be confused. Or maybe send a video of you doing those steps so I can see if anything is weird or w/e info you can give me about.

This part of the patcher utility is a bit experimental anyway, so it's obv not perfect haha. Worst case you can fix your refs with https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/ng-missing-script-recovery-102272

[iron dagger]

will do, thank you nomnom 👍

[iron dagger]

i managed to fix the missing scripts with this tool, it seems that i had Item and Scan Node Properties scripts not assigned. thanks a ton!

[iron dagger]

also about what i said before regarding unity crashing after i ran the game in editor with mods - it's happening with the project using the new patcher too, i think it might be one of the mods i have installed though so i'll have to check that later, here is the log

[iron dagger]

nope, unity still crashes even after i removed all my mods from the bepinex plugins folder...

[trail oriole]

Can you show a video of what you do + when it crashes (reload the editor with no mods for a clean test)? I can see what is crashing it from the log, but I can't replicate it.

[iron dagger]

alright, i'll record one tmr

[iron dagger]

@trail oriole this project was just created and patched, the crash only begins after i run the game after installing BepInEx, before BepInEx it was fine https://streamable.com/3mg9k3

uninstalling BepInEx and no crash https://streamable.com/ghiv2x

[trail oriole]

Oh it crashes when you close unity, thought you meant when you stopped playing. That helps.

Well first thing I notice is that you aren't using the game's version

And second of all, it doesn't crash on my end when I do the same steps on 2022.3.9f1 (the game's version)

If you can replicate this on the game's version, then I'll look more into it 👍

[iron dagger]

will try, maybe i just have to be on the game's version 😅

[iron dagger]

same thing, still crashes 😔 fresh project, just patched and installed BepInEx https://streamable.com/ta0pqh

[trail oriole]

When you stop playing, is there not an info log about harmony unpatching all patches? I don't see any logs show up in the footer in your video

[iron dagger]

was it supposed to show that in the console? i don't see it

nvm my logs were filtered

but that was the last message in the log

[trail oriole]

Hm I'm not sure then. I can't replicate it at all With it crashing when you close the editor it's not really that big of an issue per-se, but I'm just confused on why it's doing it in the first place as all patches are unpatched there.

can you show me your bepinex config in the project

[iron dagger]

this one?

yeah it's not really big but it's bothering when i have to reopen the editor to test a new dll, because i can't replace/delete my plugin in my BepInEx plugins folder because it's in use lol

[trail oriole]

You can put your plugin in the project itself in Mods btw

I tend to test my own mods by putting them in there, and they get loaded less aggressively like the ones externally

So I'm able to replace them most of the time without reloading

See if that works better for you

[iron dagger]

sure, thank you 🙏

[tribal jolt]

has the new project patcher been tested on / does it support Linux? Because I'm getting an error on the asset ripper step, and it seem to be uhh trying to run AssetRipper.Tools.SystemTester.exe, which definitely seems wrong considering I'm on Linux

[trail oriole]

The new one doesn't support linux yet, no (the person who did the other patcher's support hasn't been available)

[tribal jolt]

I see 👍
Perhaps I could take a look at it then at some point if I have time

[knotty prairie]

hi! i hope its not too much of a bother that i ask about this here. i asked in another thread but got no response. i wanted to know how to fix water on my moon. right now the texture is just invisible but i can still walk through it/drown in it. i know this has been addressed here: #1199473521265475745 message⁠ but either things have changed since then or i dont understand the directions or something. the third point nomnom mentions i cannot follow as the lc project patcher does not have a runtime/water folder.

[trail oriole]

It's in the new patcher. If you are using the old patcher then here are the files for the water https://github.com/nomnomab/unity-lc-project-patcher/tree/master/Runtime/Water

[knotty prairie]

i just wanna make sure im looking at the right place before i go putting files in places and screw something up

the path should be packages/Lethal Company Project Patcher/Runtime yes?

[trail oriole]

That's the root yes. Water was added to it in version 1.0.5, so if you are using the new patcher, check that you have it updated.

[knotty prairie]

seems im using ver 0.5.4

[trail oriole]

Because you are using the old patcher, like I started with lol

https://github.com/nomnomab/unity-lc-project-patcher this is the rewritten one (where the water I linked above is)

[knotty prairie]

okay, if i update it, will it break things?

[trail oriole]

https://github.com/nomnomab/unity-project-patcher?tab=readme-ov-file#q-how-do-i-migrate-my-current-project-to-this-one there is a migration guide, but if you upgrade then back up your project first ofc in case anything goes funky.

Otherwise if you just need water then grab the water folder and manually replace your project's waters with the ones in the water folder.

[knotty prairie]

gotcha

[knotty prairie]

i forgot to say, it worked! thank you for your help

[abstract swan]

Hi, I asked a question in the LethalLevelLoader channel but was advised to ask it here:

"When it comes to keeping a backup of my project in case of emergency I've been keeping a zip file of just the mods folder that is generated after ripping the game into Unity and its contents instead of the whole thing since I figured I could always run the project patcher again for a new project and then extract the zipped files into the new mods folder if something breaks. Would this actually work or would references to materials/scripts/etc possibly break? I assumed it should be fine but I don't want to risk breaking everything trying to update to the next vanilla version since I'm realizing I don't actually know how Unity works in a case like this. I'm kind of nervous since I started working on custom moon stuff in V49 but when V50 came around and I tried to run the patcher again thinking that's how to update it, a lot broke (thankfully I just had a test moon, no real work yet)."

[abstract swan]

Just tested myself and this DOES NOT WORK, so I’ve basically been working without a backup this whole time. Glad I tried it though instead of figuring it out the hard way. I’ll have to do a different backup method.

[leaden spruce]

You can export project settings (if you go to tools -> nomnom, hope I'm not mistaken, there's an option for that) which will save a JSON file. When you break your project accidentally and have to run the patcher again it will break the references to the game assets, so you need to use that JSON file to restore them (the option is also in tools -> nomnom). This way you indeed can back up only your mod folder, but keep in mind that even with this method some references/links will have to be fixed manually ( I remember that the landmines, turrets and spike traps aren't linked back properly in the level settings after such restoration, there are at least 2 more small things but I can't remember rn)

[abstract swan]

Alright, thanks. I’ll try to look into it when I get the opportunity.

[abstract swan]

Alright, I just tried it and it works pretty well. Some references like you mentioned, some terrain textures, audio triggers, etc are broken, but I think they can all be fixed in time, so that’s better than nothing. Thanks!

[leaden berry]

is there a way i can update my patched project to the newer game version without it breaking all my references?

[leaden spruce]

You can try using the process I described two messages above, not sure how it'll work on this new version tho

[flat stag]

dont bother doing it now, wait for the beta to end

[abstract swan]

Alright, since V56 is now officially out and since I haven't done it yet, does anyone with more experience with this sort of thing know the best way to update the locally patched Unity project preferably without breaking references if possible? If I have to go through all my custom moons and fix things then that's what I have to do, but I'd rather avoid that.

[abstract swan]

Here’s what I’ve done and it works ok. I figured out which folders needed backing up in order to have a copy of the project (Assets, Lethal Company, Packages, ProjectSettings) and used GitHub to make a repo. I downloaded a copy of the project and opened it in Unity and then Tools>Nomnom>LC - Project Patcher>Extract Project information. Then, still on the copy I ran the patcher again and got the new vanilla files. Then from the same menu as the extract option I used Patch Assets From Other Projects. This fixed several broken references I think but some are still broken. I’m going to go through both projects side by side and locate differences between the original and copy, and fix the copy. Once done I’ll probably replace the original with the copy’s stuff.

[devout holly]

@lone gorge Try that^

[lone gorge]

Thanks, i'll try 🙂

[pearl burrow]

sorry if this is asking before but for this update wouldja say i should run the patcher again in the same project or something
to upgrade it to v56 from v50
or nah

hmm i read the readme a few times over and i think it'd be a better idea to just redo it from scratch

[abstract swan]

If you don’t have much, starting from scratch could be fine. However, if you want you could try what I did above. Some stuff did break and I have to go in and fix it, but it’s better than nothing.

[abstract swan]

The comment I mentioned

[pearl burrow]

i forget.. which step do i put DunGen in

its no longer part of the guide it seems..

[flat stag]

Before iirc

[pearl burrow]

i ended up just doing it between one of the initial restarts before it ran assetripper

ill remember to do it before now

why is there s dedicated assetstore folder though.. last time i put it in Unity/AssetStore

i think it just works either way

[quasi lance]

I installed the nomnom unity project patcher via git url and I got a bunch of errors? how do I fix them

most of the errors are The type or namespace name ' ' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[pearl burrow]

when you created the empty project was it an HDRP project

[quasi lance]

hmm seems like no

does it only work in HDRP?

[abstract swan]

I believe so. It’s what the game uses I’m pretty sure

[quasi lance]

I see, I wonder if thats the reason why my lethallib custom scrap wasn't working

like it was generating the item, but it wouldn't spawn it in game

[abstract swan]

Maybe. I’m not familiar enough with Unity to know the differences between HDRP and the other choices or custom scrap

[quasi lance]

ok that worked thanks, I am getting different errors but I don't think they're gonna be a problem

[abstract swan]

I think I get errors too after running, even if it seems it works. They're probably not a problem

[pearl burrow]

kidnapper fox (BushWolf) is having trouble with its main material

i assume its because it uses fur mechanics

it has a fur mask and stuff

but unity just says the material is missing

[flat stag]

oh does it use a custom shader?

[pearl burrow]

it puzzles me because i assume it woulda been part of the asset ripping process

lemme open unity im back on my pc

also random question but isnt "\AssetRipperOutput\" directory supposed to be deleted after the files are copied to "\LethalCompany\Game\"

[abstract swan]

Some stuff like shaders doesn’t seem to properly port. I know water doesn’t (at least, it used to not port. I’m under the impression that a newer, remade version ports it). I’m not certain about the directory deletion, but it might’ve been a setting that you could toggle before running the patcher. I feel like I remember seeing that.

Unrelated, but I asked in the LethalLevelLoader channel and haven’t heard an answer, so just asking again out of curiosity in case anyone here knows:

“Hey, I've been informed that trees now have some sort of collision trigger to destroy them when hit by the car I guess. I see the object in my patched project that should house this script, but it just has a missing script warning. Does anyone know what that script should be? I'm hoping it got ripped but not linked properly because if it's just entirely not in my project then that's going to suck. The cruiser prefab also seems to be missing a collision scrip, but that's not as bad I don't think because that shouldn't impact the actual game's version, right?”

[pearl burrow]

omw to march

[pearl burrow]

TerrainObstacleTrigger

[abstract swan]

Thank you! Not sure why the script isn’t assigned but I do have it. I was concerned it didn’t get brought into Unity.

[pearl burrow]

ok so this isnt any official kinda question

but just to everyone else who uses it

do you use this project file to make mods

if so, what folder do you put your mod assets in

[abstract swan]

I used it to make my moons. It generated a folder called “game” where it put vanilla stuff and an empty one called “mods” I think where I do my stuff.

[flat stag]

Mods/plugins is where you're supposed to put ur project in yes

[pearl burrow]

really? i thought those were for actual mods

not for putting the assets for my asset bundles

[flat stag]

maybe

but thats how i have my project setup and it works perfectly lol

[pearl burrow]

also i ended up just making a new folder in the assets folder

the problem ended up being like

the asset bundle path, right?

its not relative to anything, so if you put it in a complicated path thats the path u gotta deal with now

[flat stag]

well for me i made an assetbundle folder inside the coderebirth folder

[pearl burrow]

do any of you guys know whats causing this error anyway

[trail oriole]

If it's the same issue as what this solves https://github.com/nomnomab/unity-project-patcher/blob/master/Editor/Steps/Processing/PatchLDRTexturesStep.cs then you just need to go to the LDR_ textures and change their format to RGB24 (or the editor version of that)

[pearl burrow]

hmm that didnt quite seem to do it

i also tried making it automatic too

because LLL has those same files too

and they were set to automatic

that didnt work either

wait no, is that LLL? or is it a file that just happens to have 3 Ls in the name

i wish i knew what files were causing it problems anyway

to me the error message says that something is inputting 3 channels whe nit should just be inputting 1

alright i have set the LDR_LLL1 ones to Alpha8 and that seems to ahve done the trick

the LDR_RGB1 ones are also set to RGB 24

[unborn carbon]

for some reason i'm getting this error for all three packages

and it's not letting me update them
i'm gonna have to go further into it tomorrow to see if i can fix it myself but for now i have no idea

[unborn carbon]

????

yeah no it's just not working

uninstalled the 3 packages and tried to reinstall them

just ending up with this error

[abstract swan]

Bruh what did you do 😭

Not sure how to help unfortunately. If no one else is able to, eventually you could try to ping Nomnom because they might know.

[unborn carbon]

yeahh i kinda fixed it?

the error only appears on the backup project i made

which is kinda shitty considering that i’m supposed to be updating and running the patchers on that backup in order to update my moon to V55

[abstract swan]

Maybe something wasn’t backed up properly? I copy Assets, Lethal Company, Packages, and ProjectSettings folders. With my limited knowledge maybe there’s an issue in the Packages folder, because I’d guess that’s where the patcher and stuff is stored somehow.

[unborn carbon]

possibly, i genuinely just copy pasted the entire project folder from the unity hub directory to another hard-drive, then added the project to the hub so i could open it

i tried what you did when it came to github but there was wayyy too many files to realistically take the time to put in a repo

so i just scrapped the idea and went straight to what i did

[unborn carbon]

oh my GOOODDDDD

okay

so i copied my project to my SSD

which i guess can have this problem

so now i gotta delete my entire backup project from my SSD, copy paste my actual project AGAIN, this time in the hard drive i was using BEFORE, and wait 2-3 hours while my computer does that

and pray that it actually works this time

i sure do love unity

[tribal jolt]

Wait huh, your SSD is not formatted as NTFS?

[unborn carbon]

honestly i coulda sworn it was

or at least that’s what i saw at a glance

never really payed much attention to it

[tribal jolt]

what was it then? exfat?

[unborn carbon]

also kinda forgot how to checkkk

wait

nope

just found out

it is exfat

[tribal jolt]

I guess it makes sense if it's an external SSD that you can just plug to a PC via usb or something

[unborn carbon]

yeah

[tribal jolt]

But yeah you could format it to NTFS, if you don't need to use it on something like MacOS probably

[unborn carbon]

what .

that’s something i can just

do????

[tribal jolt]

yeah

[flat stag]

ye

u can format ur drive

[tribal jolt]

It's something that's commonly done for example if you install Linux, like resizing partitions and then formatting the free space to something that works well on Linux

[flat stag]

it'll get rid of everything in ur drive

but yeah

[tribal jolt]

ye

[unborn carbon]

oh okay so it didn't matter reguardless

[flat stag]

pretty much

[unborn carbon]

i was gonna be FILLED with HATE considering i JUST deleted the project from the SSD

[flat stag]

lol

[tribal jolt]

haha ye

[flat stag]

"haha ye"

[tribal jolt]

wha

[unborn carbon]

okay at least i HAD to do it though

i can just wait the time it takes to get all the files again

and just like

watch spy family while i wait

[unborn carbon]

yeeeahhhh

that was it alright

[tribal jolt]

nice

[unborn carbon]

By "Patch Assets From Other Projects" are you talking about this button?

and if it is, what exactly does it mean about the project's .json file?

cuz i'm getting like 50 errors now and i kinda don't know how to fix em otherwise

[abstract swan]

I think I’ve got the old patcher, so it looks different. If you find something that generates a json, that’s probably it? I think I got errors too but, like, they didn’t actually cause problems.

As far as I understand, the json file somehow stores the references (like the ID of a texture that an object references). That way, when the patcher is run again and all the IDs behind the scenes get phuked you can give it the json and it’ll try to relink things.

[unborn carbon]

there are multiple jsons, though i think the one that's named steps-results would be the correct one?

then again, maybe something that could possibly solve half the errors i'm getting shouldn't only have a file size of 5kb

so i gotta find out what it means by the project's json

[abstract swan]

So, for me I can do Tools > Nomnom > LC - Project Patcher > Extract Project Information and that brings up the usual download UI where I can pick where to save the file and what to name it (you should be able to put it anywhere on your device and name it whatever I think). The one I just generated was 1403 KB so I don’t know.

Then if I recall after I rerun the patcher I’d do Tools > Nomnom > LC - Project Patcher > Patch Assets From Other Projects and select that json and most references will fix themselves.

Compared to mine yours does seem really small and my default name was ProjectInformation.json but maybe that’s something to do with old vs new patcher?

[unborn carbon]

yeahhhh that's

not an option for me

there isn't an "Extract Project Information" button from what i can see

which actually might be the .json i'm looking for

[abstract swan]

It might not be as simple. I pulled up what I think is the one you're using and there's an FAQ: https://github.com/nomnomab/unity-project-patcher?tab=readme-ov-file#faq Maybe some of that would be what you need? Honestly though, not sure so I'm just going to try to ping someone who might be able to help more. @trail oriole if you're not too busy with job would they need to do some of that stuff to update their Unity project next time the game updates?

[unborn carbon]

yeah that's the one

did forget about the FAQ there, so thank you for that

i'll see if anything there can help

[azure thorn]

Hello, i am not particularly interested in modding lethal company (as i dont play the game). but i must ask about this unity-project-patcher that @swift plank told me about in Risk of Rain 2's modding server

i noticed that the patcher basically also imports the game's assets into the project itself. Does anyone know what's the behaviour of utilizing the base game's assets in the modded project itself?

like, say in this situation:

public class SomeComponent : MonoBehaviour
{
  public GameObject objectToSpawn;
  //some unecesary code related to spawning the object
}```

if i have this component, and set objectToSpawn to one of the vanilla assets from the game.

• Does the vanilla GameObject get bundled into the mod's assetbundle, causing asset duplication across the vanilla bundles and the mod's bundles

OR

• Does the component somehow save reference to the vanilla asset, causing no asset duplication across the bundles

i'm asking this because over at RoR2, we have these items that are referenced via "ItemDefs" (ScriptableObjects), and with our current project workflow (Thunderkit), We cant use the base game's itemDefs for our own scripts, and instead we need to query them at runtime

that'd be all, thanks for anyone who takes the time to read and answer this question.

wanted to originally send a twitter dm to nomnomab but his twitter dms are disabled

[tribal jolt]

Afaik, it'll just be a duplicate

[azure thorn]

noted, what i described is basically the holy grail of unity modding so i thought it'd be worth it to ask about it

[flat stag]

for content from LLL, it kinda helps that it checks a lot of ur inputs in moon making can be empty scriptable objects and LLL checks if there is a vanilla asset matching that name and just replaces it

[azure thorn]

apologies, but what's LLL in this context?

[flat stag]

LethalLevelLoader, it's a content API

[azure thorn]

thats interesting

so basically it hooks into whatever asset loading system the mods use, and if the asset matchies a vanilla one, it just returns the vanilla one?

[flat stag]

kind of, LLL has its own assetbundle loading since its a content API, looks for assetbundles with .lethalbundle at the end, and then it checks some scriptable objects, looks for empty vanilla references, and replaces those

saves you from referencing like 60mb of vanilla enemy assets

[azure thorn]

huh, i thought assetbundles by themselves where read only?

[flat stag]

it grabs the scriptableobjects from the assetbundle so that u can load ur items etc, it probably replaces the references inside the scriptableobject that it takes from those assetbundles with the vanilla references

[azure thorn]

i see

thats... an interesting approach

maybe i could end up replicating that

[flat stag]

@trail oriole hi busy with job, just a quick question, do you know where data for stuff like navmesh agent settings would be stored? since your rip seems to copy them over just fine i was wondering if u did something special to make em rather than just, fill in the strings here

[trail oriole]

I think they are in the ProjectSettings folder

/ProjectSettings/NavMeshAreas.asset

[flat stag]

okie, ty

[sullen bison]

??????

Did you remember to take your meds

[swift plank]

@trail oriole I see I'm going to need to add Linux support again

[trail oriole]

Yessir

[swift plank]

Could add a Linux build of your AssetRipper fork to the releases?

[trail oriole]

Yeah I can add it if you throw it at me (since you'll have to swap the url when downloading ofc).

[swift plank]

here: https://github.com/Rune580/AssetRipper/releases/tag/v1.0.12-patcher-linux

[trail oriole]

https://github.com/nomnomab/AssetRipper/releases/download/v1.0.12-patcher/Linux-Release.zip

[swift plank]

thanks

I'm literally crying

having to Ctrl-F all instances of \\ and replace them with Path.DirectorySeparatorChar

👀

[trail oriole]

Yippie

Hey now most should have been routed to the one utility function I don't remember where else it was lol

(also if you use any additional file reads/writes make sure you use path.ToValidPath() from 1.1.16 for a conditional windows safety check)

[swift plank]

The path length issue happens on linux too

[trail oriole]

[swift plank]

it's because Unity needs to fix their FrankenMono impl

it's really dumb

[trail oriole]

I dunno how to fix it on linux, so if it is api-something you can throw it in .ToValidPath() lol

[swift plank]

no your solution would work on linux too

[trail oriole]

The windows fix is dumb

wtf

[swift plank]

Unity interprets the path passed and converts it to platform specific iirc

[trail oriole]

[swift plank]

it's super annoying

[trail oriole]

Found that special prefix randomly in an old ass forum post from some random website back in 2006

Where all the real knowledge is

[swift plank]

real

I'm not doing any file read/writes anyways

I think

for future reference

it's better to use / instead of \\

even in windows specific situations

because windows interprets / as \\

but Unix/Linux does not interpret \\ as / most of the time

Unity also properly handles / on all platforms

but it doesn't handle \\ correctly on platforms other than windows

[trail oriole]

I think I had it since paths from Unity would randomly give me one type and Windows gave me another, or some would combine both

So I just made them all the same with w/e function it is

I hate paths

[trail oriole]

@quasi shadow when you get a chance, are you able to describe your issue with the AssetRipper stuff when you run the patcher? Batby said it might be something related to a Korean locale, but I want to see if there is any other info about it. Or if you can even run normal AssetRipper on its own.

[quasi shadow]

I downloaded the LC project patcher (new one) from upm and ran the patcher. I just followed the procedure, there are no references to plugin script's components that are not default unity scripts, and the LC's scripts are only generated as dummy scripts

[trail oriole]

That's odd. Can you try running Asset Ripper from its github releases to see if that spits out an error on their end or somethin?

[flat stag]

@trail oriole out of curiousity, does the rip sometimes not get animation stuff right? the itemdropship animates enabling and disabling a game object but it enables it at the wrong time and i was wondering if the rip did something weird, cuz it's inconsistent with vanilla ingame

[trail oriole]

I think AR rips animations a bit offset, since it has to do a lot of guessing/conversion.

[flat stag]

gotcha okay

[slim halo]

so im trying to patch my project again, and like every other time i try and patch it is struggling IMMENSELY, and i can never figure out what to do to make it work properly.. it just works after the 5th-10th patch or so with nothing changed

if its not due to crashing its almost always due to some scripts just not having the correct code, this update its just 2 errors

when i used to get this i noticed the scripts with the attached errors always were ignored when updating, by that i mean all the scripts say they were last updated today when i ran the patcher but the scripts with errors were dated back to the last time they actually were updated in a patch

this time i thought "what if i just removed every script before patching? then patched. it should create new scripts"

and it did.. BUT still had the same errors

the most confusing part is this happens every update, BUT running the patcher again between 5-10 times fixes it.

and it just magically patches correctly

why? I DONT KNOW.

if anyone has any ideas/suggestions that would be greatly appreciated 🙏

heres my packages and what my patcher window looks like if that helps

[pearl burrow]

hmm thats unfortunate... tried copying my project file stuff to a new dump

interestingly its not the script references that failed to stick

it was the models and materials

[tepid crest]

I'm trying to make the project working on linux. Everything is working except scripts. They were not copied from AssetRipper output so I copied them manually, but they are so many errors. What did I did wrong?

[flat stag]

@trail oriole can i get some help with setting up a package in unity owo, i did all the folder stuff and file stuff i needed to i think, i just dont know how to allow people to be able to get it from git url from a repo

[flat stag]

nvm~~ i think i got it

[dull furnace]

I'm looking to transfer a project over to the new patcher project (finally), and hoping to put it on Git without including all the LC assets, are the GUIDs after ripping consistent so that any references to vanilla content will work for anyone that pulls and rips the game themselves?

hoping they're deterministic so that references work out of the box after ripping, but I don't know if that was part of the design

[abstract swan]

I feel like they aren't because I tried to only back up my mods folder instead of the whole project and when I tried to drop that folder into a freshly ripped project a lot was broken.

[dull furnace]

ah, damn

I'll try it out to see what happens but that doesn't sound hopeful

[mystic trench]

droping project into a new patcher project has such issues:

*- all vanilla materials assigned for your models, build etc goes missing making them appear pink

• Some vanilla meshes may become missing as well
• all the scripts are gone
• all the extended and selectable level data is gone (at least in my case)
• Sounds might go missing but thats not always the case*

the best solution to do before moving projects:

• Make sure to create copy of every vanilla material you're using in your project and assign them instead of vanilla ones to prevent missing materials errors (this also includes sun etc)
• Make sure to include in your project all the assets from the asset store etc
• After moving project, replace as much things with missing scripts from vanilla scenes, eg: ship mesh, itemship, teleports as possible, there might be some few missing scripts that you need to replace manually like out of bounds trigger

Of course the best idea when moving your project is to create copy of it

@dull furnace hope this helps

[flat stag]

Ye

Also my asset bundle builder will let you know if there's missing scripts in a bundle through the asterisk next to the bundle bame

Name*

(This was for detecting changes in a bundle so you can choose to only build changed bundles, but I noticed it has this use too lol)

[mystic trench]

question to your asset bundler

its CR bundle builder, right? @flat stag

[flat stag]

Ye

It can be added as a Unity package similar to asset store stuff after my last update

[mystic trench]

whats the difference between this first folder

or

what is it exactly

if its not something to look at is there a way to hide it?

[mystic trench]

.

[flat stag]

Oh sorry for late response, basically these are your asset bundles

The first one is an assetbundle that exists in your project

[mystic trench]

so i should ignore it

[flat stag]

You can if you'd like yeah, if u don't intend for that assetbundle to exist you're able to just delete it from your project by removing it from the assets it holds inside it

[dull furnace]

ooh, that's handy, does it also let you narrow down to a specific prefab/scene/scriptable?

[flat stag]

nope, i've thought about it, but it was something i did unintentionally so i never went deeper on it, it shouldn't be too hard though, i do have a logger that MIGHT tell you what prefab/SO has a "missing" script

[dull furnace]

kinda disappointing that there's not a way to set it up to use a deterministic method of creating the GUIDs :( the default gitignore includes the vanilla assets, which made me think that it would allow building the same ripped assets at least when ripping the same version in the same project

[dull furnace]

gotcha

I did find an editor script on GitHub that purported to find missing references, but unfortunately it didn't work quite as well as I hoped, especially when it came to scriptable objects

[flat stag]

yeah, i might come back to it at some point and just add a more purposeful way to find missing scripts, people might like that, only problem is that editor scripts are a headache

especially UI...

took me 2 days to try and figure out how to make a button not be bigger than its supposed to be...

and that button is STILL bigger than what its supposed to be

i never figured that one out

[dull furnace]

yeah lol I have had a similar experience trying to work with its UI framework

[rugged sentinel]

hi does anyone have any tips to setting up a git repo where multiple people are able to work on the same lethal unity project?

Our problem is that re-ripping the LC assets only works on one machine but once the other person tries to do the same thing the GUIDs get mixed up and we lose a lot of work having to re-hook everything up

we've got this at the end of our .gitignore template:

# Downloaded package files.
/[Pp]ackages/*/

# Game assets.
/[Aa]ssets/LethalCompany/Game/*
*.dll*
/AssetRipper/*
/AssetRipperOutput/*

# Generated asset bundles.
/[Aa]ssets/LethalCompany/Mods/plugins/AssetBundles/*```

So things semi-work if the second person runs the asset ripper and then discards their changes after, but not everything is carried over after doing so (experimentation missing its skybox image in the HDRI sky for example)

[flat stag]

coderebirth might be a good example for ya

https://github.com/XuuXiaolan/CodeRebirth

i put my mod inside Assets/LethalCompany/Mods/plugins/CodeRebirth, where it has ALL my mods assets

i gitignore literally everything else (except my editor tools)

include basically whatever i need and all my assets in different subfolders etc

just make sure when you do use a vanilla texture or asset

you copy it out of the vanilla folder

put it into your own project's folder inside your mod folder somewhere

then use THAT

this makes it so all a person has to do is run nomnom's project, and drag over the ripped unity project over the cloned one from github, itll say its replacing like 15 things or whatever since u have identical folder names but yeah just let it do that, launch unity, and nothing should be missing

[harsh blade]

Since im slowly coming back to this, id like to know the best way to transfer from the old patcher to the new, I know its somewhere in here but idk where

I got everything for the new patcher setup but I need to pull my old stuff to this new project

[harsh blade]

found it

[flat stag]

Nice

[dull furnace]

I'm thinking I might have to modify the patcher so that it uses a seed for the GUIDs at some point

I had the exact same problem with Black Mesa, we ended up just putting everything on a private repo

[flat stag]

how come?

my problem with putting that stuff in a private repo is LFS lol

i had to pay github so i said fuck that and did my project properly

(though that might've been cuz i also saved my assetbundles in my project)

[dull furnace]

oh, I didn't have any lfs complaints about the vanilla stuff

definitely did with the massive ripped scenes from Black Mesa though

[slim halo]

could this have anything to do with the constant crashes ive been receiving with a patched project..?

i have some custom scripts ive been working on but constantly when i hit play, or even just save changes to a script unity will crash, and list tons of complaints related to .dll's

[flat stag]

@trail oriole :3 you're needed (if you have the time)

[trail oriole]

I sadly don't really have time. Been working nonstop for the past like 6 months straight, and I just started a new full time contract, so I barely even have time for my own side project during breaks. If someone who knows what they are doing wants to be a collaborator of the repo(s) to fix/tweak/add things, let me know.

[flat stag]

https://tenor.com/view/アトリ-atri-atri-anime-atri-my-dear-moments-atri-adaptation-gif-3866467084727918027

its alright, thanks for letting us know :p

good luck on your own stuff

[abstract swan]

Good luck.

[flat stag]

@trail oriole idk if you remember working on stuff for the patcher, me and zaggy almost got it working but for some reason none of the prefabs are ever ripped, I was wondering if you ever had any issues like that :3

It was a bit of a doozy, had to update assetripper, change some of the dll and package targeting in the LC runtime patcher to be more automatic and only use exact dlls and packages, and I was having a lot of trouble with stripping new rpc code lol

(I guess there was also an issue of assetripper not using the proper version of ilspy or something cuz some structs never generated their constructors as they should but I just auto add constructors to them now cuz I couldn't figure that out lol)

[flat stag]

i believe the exported project of the assetripper's output is outputting the prefabs/gameobjects but they're not getting copied over for some reason

[flat stag]

i think i figured it out
in the old assetripper, prefabs were put into a folder called PrefabInstance
in the new one they're put into one called GameObject
AssetRipperSettings didnt seem to copy over the new GameObject folder
only PrefabInstance, which doesnt exist anymore
I'll give it a try now :p

[flat stag]

yep that worked :p, ill have zaggy do a PR and stuff since idk how to really

[dull furnace]

in case anyone is interested in using the patcher on v73, me and Bongo were able to use these to make a patched project:

• https://github.com/Zaggy1024/unity-project-patcher/tree/lc-v73-fixes - install package from git https://github.com/Zaggy1024/unity-project-patcher.git#lc-v73-fixes
• https://github.com/Zaggy1024/unity-lc-project-patcher/tree/v73-fixes - install package from git https://github.com/Zaggy1024/unity-lc-project-patcher.git#v73-fixes
  also, Xu mentioned that you need .NET 9.0 instead of 8.0, but otherwise it should work out of the box with the same instructions

Xu's guide: https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/TeamXiaolan/DawnLib/wiki/4097-a-unity-setup/

[abstract swan]

Yippee! Will have to take a look sometime

[dull furnace]

(This is provided with no warranty until probably sunday evening, as I can't mess with it until then)

[flat stag]

i want a refeund

[dull furnace]

yeah get a refund for your laptop

[flat stag]

i should tbh

[abstract swan]

😔 I wanted to hold you liable if it kills my family

[dull furnace]

this is not legally binding but I guarantee that it won't kill your family

[drifting burrow]

had to delete this file and Editor/UPPatcherSettingsEditor.cs in the cache to make it build bundles :3 (xu figured it out but apparently forgor)

[dull furnace]

huh, it didn't automatically remove the old patcher from your cache when you removed it from your package manager?

I've only tested this on a fresh project but that seems a little weird, though it wouldn't exactly surprise me

[abstract swan]

Bad news. They're dead. All of them 😔

jk

Seemed to work well other than me being stupid. First I went to your repository and then read the readme to refresh my memory on the steps. The readme hasn't changed so I copied the git urls mentioned in there like an idiot. Then after that I realized my mistake and grabbed the git url for your repo but not the one you told us to use so I didn't get the fixed branch, just the old one again. I can't read. pls help

[flat stag]

tbf i told zaggy to update readme

[abstract swan]

Probably not a bad idea unless it's expected to get merged into nomnom's. Then the only thing that would need to change would be just the .net version listed and game version (if it says it, which I think it does? forgot and can't bother to check lol)

Anyway glad it works. Can’t believe I wasted SO MUCH time trying to use the wrong thing twice since I can’t phuking read

[dull furnace]

yee I thought about going through and fixing that up but I'm very lazy and also haven't decided how to handle making this "properly" available

[dull furnace]

error in PackagesUtility.cs while building bundles should be fixed in the latest commit to my unity-project-patcher branch

[viral snow]

Oh shoot I missed this completely, noice!

[dull furnace]

hopefully it works well for you, there have been some issues with it that I haven't directly addressed

might just be unity shenanigans from switching package sources

[viral snow]

Only thing I’d run the patcher on rn is probably my interiors’ project

Dont know when I’ll get around to it tho

But I know some peeps who wanted to work on moons / interiors starting with v73

[vapid pollen]

i need to make sure but is it \Library\PackageCache\com.nomnom.unity-project-patcher@8da015b2b3\Editor

nvm i found it

https://tenor.com/view/putting-on-goggles-johnny-the-bikeriders-setting-on-eye-protection-tom-hardy-gif-1516974039474021122

let the grind resume ig

[sly slate]

Is it ok to still use the previous version's patcher? I can't get the new one to work

[steel forge]

yes but you need to downgrade your LC to v72

and also set up your unity project in the previous version, probably

[sly slate]

so pretty much no....... I'll have to figure out whats wrong then

is there anything largely important I should note that is different from setting it up in previous versions?

[abstract swan]

For just getting it to work, no. Assuming you’re using the version I’m replying to and .NET 9

There was an issue with the bundle building but I think that’s supposed to be fixed now too.

[sly slate]

do I need to do anything specific with .Net 9 or just have it installed?

Does this count?

[abstract swan]

I think just have it installed. I’d think that’s fine

[rough ferry]

I got some errors while running it. Restarting the editor a couple times seems to have fixed it

[sly slate]

I guess I'll try that after remaking my project and repatching

[sly slate]

Does the "DawnLibTemplate-0.2.0" unity package work with v73's patcher? I got the game running in the editor without anything, but when I added the package it broke.

[sly slate]

Nvm my dumbass forgot Unity pauses the game when there is an error

[drifting burrow]

well dawnlib isn't compatible with the editor im like 99% certain. it does some stuff in a preloader for optmization reasons and i don't think preloaders work in the editor

[sly slate]

Oh. That sucks, I mostly wanted to use the patcher to speed up the creation of my mod that uses DawnLib. I'll just do it the normal way then

As in still using the patcher, just not the editor game

[flat stag]

Yea that's what I do too, sorry that it can't work in the editor

[fickle island]

anyone know what is causing this?

[fickle island]

nvm i fix

thought i was using the upp version linked above but it wasn't referenced in the manifest json ._.

it should be I hope, yeah

idk if you want to mention installing .net9 and git or not, up to you. Also, is "After the patching process is finished, you will not be able to build assetbundles and have to delete two files before then." still true? Zaggy claims to have fixed it in this message I think.

[flat stag]

Oh did he?

Oh

Noice, I missed this message

[abstract swan]

You can if you want to. It's not really going to help in the first rip though, more just following ones. The tldr of the tool is that you have your original project, add the tool and use the "extract" mode to select your Game folder and your Mods folder. It then should find where your custom stuff references base game assets and give you a json file. You then can make a new rip and add your Mods folder, then add the tool and use the "import" mode to select your Mods folder and the new Game folder. Using the json it will try to relink up where your mod stuff references the base assets

actually the order might be mod folder than game folder

[flat stag]

Icic

[abstract swan]

yeah, mod first, then game. Import UI is basically the same but import instead

[drowsy zinc]

the prerequisites on the fixed version are outdated, have they changed at all besides the need for .NET 9.0?

[flat stag]

@drowsy zinc this should have all prerequisites, afaik all that changed was needing .NET 9.0 yeah

[pearl peak]

Does anyone know how to fix this error? Exception: Step AssetRipperStep failed

[pearl peak]

nvm I got it

[final skiff]

been having a weird bug for a bit, the vanilla project itself works fine but none of my plugins are actually being loaded. i added a few debug.logs to the preloader and FindPluginTypesPatch, and it looks like it does find my plugins in the folder, but once it reaches the 2nd log it seems the entire function just stops early for some reason

[proven jewel]

that would be a silent error from the LINQ query you using there

you can try putting it in a try catch block to see what the error is

[keen surge]

it just wont work

[dull furnace]

nothing I can do to help you without more information

there are an infinite number of reasons why it might just not work

[keen surge]

its always failing at a step that sometimes changes the log

do i need to send it? last log was pretty big and had to be covered by a notepad

[dull furnace]

you mean the editor log? if the log contains errors from the patching process that would be helpful, yeah

[keen surge]

alright, one sec

i got multiple errors

im trying to get them all

all of this

wait

let me get them in logs files

there

[dull furnace]

com.nomnom.unity-project-patcher@82d1d1b7c3 is not my branch's latest revision, that's nomnom's master branch

make sure you installed my fork

your asset ripper utility is the one nomnom built, not mine

[keen surge]

when i asked in help and troubleshooting i got sent to your message with two gits yours, i imported them both

[dull furnace]

did you uninstall the originals?

[keen surge]

Yes

[dull furnace]

sounds like you'll just need to try again tbh

[keen surge]

i already tried multiple times

[dull furnace]

make sure the PackageCache folder doesn't contain the old version after uninstalling, and if it does, delete it

[keen surge]

PackageCache folder?

[dull furnace]

Library/PackageCache, it contains all your local copies of your installed packages

that's where they run from

[keen surge]

alright ty

[keen surge]

oh dayum, tons of stuff, is there something special i should delete?

[dull furnace]

also delete the AssetRipper folder, if it's present in your project directory

[dull furnace]

just the project patcher ones, they should start with com.nomnom

[keen surge]

alright, do i close unity?

ima just close it

[dull furnace]

probably should yeah

after uninstalling the packages

[keen surge]

do i delete this?

its the patcher bepinex

[dull furnace]

that one shouldn't matter

(I don't think anyway, up to you)

[keen surge]

alright

[keen surge]

its failing at this step

like i just need the assets for an animation

i need the assets of da factory

[dull furnace]

that's the same step it was failing at before, strange

last time someone had an issue like this, it was because they weren't getting the branch properly, I really wonder if you're omitting part of my branch's URL when installing or something

in the package manager, it should probably say at least the short commit ID for each:

• unity-project-patcher: 8da015b
• unity-lc-project-patcher: 90103fa

if you see hashes somewhere and they don't match these, then you're probably not installing the packages correctly

[keen surge]

one sec

[keen surge]

how do i check the branches

[keen surge]

i figured how to see the branches out, and i have those branches

[dull furnace]

those commit hashes are what you have installed you mean?

if so, then hopefully the logs will be different

if it's the same error, it will be very apparent you're on the wrong executable still, because the exectuable it runs to rip the game data was renamed

[keen surge]

i did had them when i was running the ripper

[keen surge]

any idea?

[dull furnace]

if the logs are the same and you tried nuking Library and AssetRipper folders, and the hashes are the latest from my branches, no idea

it worked for me and everyone else I'm aware of

if all you're after is the assets, you might be better off just using AssetRipper directly

[abstract swan]

Hey @trail oriole I know you're busy but would you be able to pin this by any chance? You can just use Pawsy's /pin command iirc

[flat stag]

should probably pin the guide/wiki itself rather than that

[flat stag]

which is this

[abstract swan]

Oh yeah, I guess that does mention the new links

[trail oriole]

(just tried) I'm not the owner of the thread so I don't think I can.

[abstract swan]

Oh yeah, you’re not. I just assumed you were I guess. @cunning spruce are you able to pin either Xu’s guide that mentions the new git URLs or the message from Zagster I referenced above? Just so the new URLs are easily available to reference.

[cunning spruce]

i am not a moderator

[abstract swan]

Yeah but you are the thread owner right? Pawsy is supposed to let thread owners use /pin in their own threads

Unless dev-resources works differently than the mod releases channel

[cunning spruce]

oh idk how that works

[dull furnace]

I've edited the guide into my message now so it's all in one place

[cunning spruce]

I did that it said invalid so i gave up

[steel forge]

@nimble carbon

assetripper thread needs a hero

[steel forge]

pawsy be useful challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[drowsy zinc]

Also pin this please

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cheese-cheese-cat-war-crimes-gif-25249763

[steel forge]

they won't know to unless you @ them

teehee

[drowsy zinc]

@them

https://tenor.com/view/gato-withrock-gif-27341353

@nimble carbon pin it

[abstract swan]

Zaggy put that link in there message so it is already pinned

Well, it doesn’t show in the pin but it’s there #1199473521265475745 message

Might just be a mobile thing and the message is too long? Idk

[drowsy zinc]

Hasnt appeared for me, skewer discord.

[radiant coral]

I followed the tutorial #1199473521265475745 message but it failed on AssetRipperStep, so I realized I needed .net 9 and NOT .net 10 (why link to the page that shows version 10 then?? bruh) 😭 mostly posting so it shows up for anyone searching

[flat stag]

hahahahhah

ill fix that, thank you

[nimble carbon]

Well uhm actually pawsy alerts staff for new modders

[steel forge]

still useless

[haughty cosmos]

using the v73 version my visor looks strange idk if it really matters though

[abstract swan]

I wouldn’t worry about it unless it someohow ends up looking weird in game, which it shouldn’t. There’s a few oddities with playing in editor

[radiant coral]

yea none of the custom shaders get decompiled

[haughty cosmos]

ooooh

[abstract swan]

I'd like to get some confirmation. I just noticed the Texture3Ds folder didn't rip for my v73 project. Was this just a me thing or did anyone else not have this folder rip? (it contains the blowing effect that snowy moons use on their fog)

[lilac pelican]

i only have this

[abstract swan]

hmm. So if you open up like Dine for example do you see that the fog mask texture is missing?

[lilac pelican]

yes

[abstract swan]

Hmm. Well, if I'm not alone in that folder missing, I wonder if there's a bug with the asset ripper

if you have an old version of the project you can just drag that folder over, but that's definitely not ideal

[lilac pelican]

fog mask texture restorer

[abstract swan]

lol

[abstract swan]

Oh, do you want me to zip the folder and send it to you or something? Or are you able to grab it from an older project version (if you even want/need it at all)?

[lilac pelican]

nah, i have projects up to v60 i think

[rancid cobalt]

Soooo uuuuh, anyone got an idea?

[rancid cobalt]

*Fixed it

[abstract swan]

Wait, you fixed the AssetRipper not ripping that folder, you got it from somewhere else, or are you talking about something else entirely?

[lilac pelican]

he is talking about error from msg before

[rancid cobalt]

It was an already ripped project...

[abstract swan]

I’m very stupid. In my defense I just somehow didn’t see that image of the error

[abstract swan]

Hey @dull furnace, I guess you'd be the best person to ping on this but if not I apologize. Would you know why one folder isn't ripping any more? There should be a Texture3Ds folder but there isn't. The first picture is of a fresh rip where it just isn't there. I had to grab a backup of my project off github and reimport the missing folder for my V73 project. I'm not sure what all that stuff is, but the GroundSmoke one is what the snow moon fog and the sandstorm on Experimentation uses to have the blowing effect, so at least one of them is kind of important for moon makers.

[abstract swan]

You can see here the mask texture for the fog is just marked as missing

I guess I don't know if anything else is missing. This is all I've noticed, but I guess it's possible there's more if the root issue isn't specific to this one folder

[dull furnace]

not sure why they would be missing, I'm unfortunately not very familiar with the inner workings of AssetRipper

my first idea would be to check if using the web interface of AssetRipper also fails to rip those, and if so, you'll probably need to do some investigating on their issues or git history to figure out where that stopped working

I might be able to look at this sometime, but not sure how long it would take to figure out

I wanna say that the issue we (@flat stag and I) had with AssetRipper that may be related is that the prefabs moved, but I don't remember if it was individually copying ripped asset folders. If it was, then it's possible that the folder that it extracts those to changed at some point

[flat stag]

i think there was like a check list of things that would get ripped, but i dont remember toggling off texture3d

[abstract swan]

Web interface of AssetRipper? I'm not familiar, what/where's that? Do you mean this thing? https://github.com/AssetRipper/AssetRipper?tab=readme-ov-file I found this https://github.com/AssetRipper/AssetRipper/issues/1886 but it's marked as resolved, so idk if that's related.

[abstract swan]

I'm very much out of my depth here but https://github.com/Zaggy1024/unity-project-patcher/blob/82d1d1b7c3f53044d8f0efd06c08040bf87a73ca/Runtime/AssetRipper/AssetRipperSettings.cs#L95C13-L95C47 like, I see some stuff that looks like it should be in reference to it

and btw, I did search in my project ripped for v73 for the ground smoke by name but never found it, so I don't think it's just being ripped to a new location

[abstract swan]

I was looking a bit more, and there seems like there is a folder where it should be, but it's empty and doesn't end up in the "Assets/LethalCompany/Game/Textures" directory like I'd expect

I don't really know what this path is for, but it seems all the other game assets are in there

[dull furnace]

that does look related actually lol

not sure if that error is causing them not to export, but it seems that that fix went out literally the next day after I forked assetripper

[dull furnace]

gotcha, that lends yet more credence to the idea that it's just that issue causing it not to export

I'll see if I can rebase and rebuild the ripping utility

[lone copper]

Hey, is reverse engineering allowed here or sum? like atleast posting pictures of it cuz i keep seeing it

Like the unity thingie

[flat stag]

wdym reverse engineering?

we're all getting patched versions of the game because we already own the game, but we arent allowed to spread around the assets

[lone copper]

Like the unity project stuff like videos and stuff but no assets obviously

[flat stag]

if you mean posting videos and stuff of the game in unity and stuff then yeah that's fine i imagine

[lone copper]

Alr lol

Cuz ive been tryna show this but i was scared i was gonna get smited and cooked

[flat stag]

as long as you're not spreading around files and assets of the game itself you're fine

[lone copper]

alrighty

This is something i did for fun mostly, i love reverse engineering games for the sakes of it and learning

[abstract swan]

I'm just curious, have you had a chance to look at this? No pressure if you haven't.

[dull furnace]

I keep forgetting to when I have a chance, I just don't have everything set up on my Linux install to do that as easily

I'll try to remember to this evening, I think I'll have time

[abstract swan]

alright. again, no rush

[dull furnace]

just pushed out a new release on my fork here: https://github.com/Zaggy1024/AssetRipper/releases/tag/1.3.9-cmd

@abstract swan you should be able to try it by setting the AssetRipper URL in one of the settings SOs to the download link for Release.zip: https://github.com/Zaggy1024/AssetRipper/releases/download/1.3.9-cmd/Release.zip

I don't have time to test it myself, unfortunately

[abstract swan]

Alright. I’ll try this soon

[quiet shoal]

@dull furnace I've got a small issue here. Everything works as expected, my Unity project is properly setup by your Project Patcher forks, and AssetRipper extracts the assets just fine (I had to compile your AssetRipper fork for Linux, but it worked just fine).

Until... After a project restart following AssetRipper running, Unity prompts me to update the plugins in the LethalCompany/Plugins folder, because it believes that they are using an older version of the Unity APIs. Several restarts later, and we're onto the GuidRemapperStep, which fails almost immediately after starting with ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero..

I have verified that my Lethal Company version is indeed v73, and I am using your forks of the tools with fixes to work with v73, and I am running the correct Unity version (2022.3.62f).

Do you have any idea what could be happening?

[abstract swan]

I could be wrong but I don’t think you want to update the plugins, because then they’re not the version the game uses. Idk though, and I don’t know how related that is to the issue

[quiet shoal]

Ok, this seems to be a Linux specific issue, since I don’t get this error when running the patcher on a windows computer. So, as a work around, I’ll copy the generated project from my windows laptop to my Linux laptop and continue from there

[lilac pelican]

you could also just run patcher on VM as some people did

[quiet shoal]

I've got another issue now. I followed a guide on how to make a custom moon, but when I playtest the game in-editor the moon never shows up. More interestingly, checking the unity editor console shows me no logs indicating that any of the plugins have been loaded. The only log related to LLL is "TempLLLFixPatch: Initializing" and "TempLLLFixPatch: Patched!". And the only patches BepInEx "finds" are LC Project Patcher & BepInEx patches, all of which are prefixed with the Nomnom namespace.

The local BepInEx installation seems to be in PROJECTDIR/Lethal Company/BepInEx
Should I try to manually install the plugins and patchers (such as LLL & HookGenPatcher) there?

BepInEx did generate a log, but it's only contents is the last message before the unity playtest shuts down; that being Harmony stating that UnpatchAll has been called

Unity also complains about not being able to find the opus assembly

[azure drum]

hello, sorry to bother you but I have an issue and I can’t find a solution

[abstract swan]

This is from the V73 version of the patcher?

[azure drum]

I don’t know, sorry

but surely

[flat stag]

Did you follow the pinned guide in this channel?

[azure drum]

no

[flat stag]

Then do that

[azure drum]

thank you I had put the wrong version unity

[quiet shoal]

This also seems to be a linux only issue, as transfering the project to a windows computer allows LLL to be loaded when playtesting in-editor. Although, something could've changed between the transfer, since I had to fix some missing scripts after transferring.

[dull furnace]

looks like this is simply AssetScrubber assuming paths are separated by backslashes

I haven't ever run the project patcher on Linux, so I'm not sure what people have done in the past to fix this, but the code is nothing new to my branch, so the fix should probably be whatever people have done before

https://github.com/Zaggy1024/unity-project-patcher/blob/lc-v73-fixes/Editor/AssetScrubber.cs#L1128

[dull furnace]

The mods you don't need scripts from in the actual editor go there, yeah

that said, I may be misremembering, but I wanna say I'm the only one that has gotten LLL working in editor, and that was on a pretty old LLL and LC version, so it wouldn't work with v73 most likely

if you want to playtest your moon, I think you would have to manually set it up to be reachable in editor instead of trying to make LLL do it automatically, but I never tried doing that myself

I wanna say most people just export and launch

[quiet shoal]

I was able to playtest it just fine, the problem is that on Linux BepInEx doesn’t seem to detect or load the plugins at all. It does detect plugins placed in the BepInEx/plugins folder, but doesn’t load them

[dull furnace]

huh, I thought you meant you were having trouble getting it to load your moon

[pallid folio]

is there a link for the asset ripper fix?

[pearl peak]

At the top

To go to the top click this

[pallid folio]

ik but im still confused i dont know what some of this means

most of it*

[pearl peak]

mb It is in the pinned messages

[pallid folio]

?

[pallid folio]

❔

[lilac pelican]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/TeamXiaolan/DawnLib/wiki/4097-a-unity-setup/

just do this

[pearl peak]

he did that

[pallid folio]

12 times to be exact

[pallid folio]

I pressed "Run patcher" and it loaded stuff but in the Game folder it didnt load the assets and it sed "Step AssetRipperStep Failed Check the console for details"

[abstract swan]

What OS are you using?

[pearl peak]

Win 11

He is using Win 11

[pallid folio]

win 11

[abstract swan]

the only other thing I could think of is wrong Unity version, but idk. should be 2022.3.62f2

[pallid folio]

Weird i am using that version but oh well

[dull furnace]

would need to know more about the failure than that it's failing the asset ripper step

[pallid folio]

ok

[drowsy zinc]

A friend of mine was trying to patch their unity project with the first link and got this error. Anyone know what causes this?

They did follow all the steps in DawnLib's wiki.
Their GPU cant support volumetric materials like fog if that influences anything.

[abstract swan]

If it does I feel like it wouldn’t break just adding the package. Asset ripping maybe it would but idk

[flat stag]

i would tend to think maybe they copied the link wrong

also clicking on it and seeing what the error is would be helpful

[drowsy zinc]

Didn’t know that was a thing, I I’ll ask them to click on it when they’re next online :p

[proven jewel]

make sure git is working on there system

just open cmd and type git and it will let you know if its functionining correctly

if it says unknown command its not installed correctly

[drowsy zinc]

@flat stag
If theres any more details I can provide let me know

[daring quartz]

I followed the tutorial to set up a patched project for v73, but the project has an error in the console that starts with Failed to find entry-points: System.Exception: Error while loading assembly references for Assembly-CSharp ---> System.Exception: Error while hashing assembly D:\Unity Projects\LC Mods\LCPatchedProject\Library\ScriptAssemblies\Assembly-CSharp.dll
as well as a warning that it failed to fetch com.nomnom.unity-lc-project-patcher. Should I be worried? I can post the full log messages if needed.

The error is the same one I see when I try to change the Unity version of my custom enemy project from v72. I assumed that it's appearance meant I needed to rip a new project and copy things over, but now I'm not sure.

[abstract swan]

I don’t think those are harmful. I’m pretty sure my project has them too and it’s just fine

[twilit egret]

I tried to make a project for v73 but I got an error that said 'Step AssetRipperStep failed. Check the console for details'

[abstract swan]

You tried to use the version of the AssetRipper pinned for V73?

[twilit egret]

Yes

[loud linden]

im having the same issue too, ive tried reinstalling everything as well to make sure and i still keep getting the same error

[azure tangle]

So im getting the same thing from the 2 people above me and i wanted to see if giving more detail into what happens before the error occured will help

1. Ive been following the tutorial for making a custom moon that was recently made
2. Ive already downloaded all the things stated in that video, i got git, net 9.0, and my unity version as well as the 3 github packages
3. ive installed bepinex on the patcher and sent the path to my lethal company address
4. the first restart happens and asks if I want to enable backend and i picked yes
5. After that it tries to rip and then immediately goes into the same error as rained

heres the popup before the error happens

and the errors

[abstract swan]

you're using https://github.com/Zaggy1024/unity-project-patcher.git#lc-v73-fixes and https://github.com/Zaggy1024/unity-lc-project-patcher.git#v73-fixes right? Because the readme within those has the old links iirc. And Unity version https://unity.com/releases/editor/whats-new/2022.3.62f2 because having those wrong can do this. The other thing I can think of is I think Linux has issues running it but idk if that applies to you all.

[azure tangle]

Yea its those 3 and i have exactly that unity version

[lilac pelican]

what about unity project

[azure tangle]

i took everything straight from the description and i dont see how what else im missing

what about my project?

I did all the things he said to set up for the project in the video

[lilac pelican]

i mean hdrp or not

[azure tangle]

i turned off show on start

[lilac pelican]

hdrp then

[azure tangle]

yea

The only thing i can see thats different in the readme is that it used net 8 but that cant be it right?

[abstract swan]

it's .net 9. The README of the git stuff is still the old version, referencing net 9, the old Unity version, and the old git links

[azure tangle]

so i should have everything from the video descripton and none of this should be needed

i dont know what else to say besides i followed that video to a t

[azure tangle]

nevermind i solved it

for some reason my urls didnt have the #v73-fixes in it

[dull furnace]

I really should've updated the readmes 😅 I've been too lazy to make a PR or anything

[drowsy zinc]

Managed to fix this :p

that dumbass installed .net 8 when i told him not to

[flat stag]

Lmao

[abstract swan]

Since apparently the asset ripper needs an update (#dev-general message), I was wondering if this might get fixed in the process? Iirc it might’ve been fixed on a branch but I never had time to test and forgot.

[flat stag]

If you want to be pinged for when patcher gets updated react to this message i guess (since a lot of people keep asking when it'll happen), no guarantees on when it'll happen but there's been progress

[flat stag]

fuck fuck fuck

im such a fucking chud

[final dune]

oh i was about to post that

lol

[flat stag]

i wonder if i need to make a v73 version of the patcher tutorial

[final dune]

this, not the v73 thing

[flat stag]

oh, yeah that too

[drowsy zinc]

We're so back...

[drowsy zinc]

Can we repatch the current project or should we make a new one and port a backup over?

[flat stag]

make a new one

[final dune]

whenever a new update comes out i just dupe my whole project and re-rip so i can tell you how shit that goes if you want to know

[flat stag]

what i do is store all my files that i use, including vanilla if i end up using vanilla files, into one folder, and every time i make a rip i just drag that folder into where it used to be in the old rip

and alls well

[final dune]

yeah i had to do that for v73

so that's option B

[drowsy zinc]

ive bricked my project that way because the way my project was saved on github was wrong lmao

[final dune]

ok i ripped the project and i still have the exact same errors as before

with the v73 patcher

and i dont really feel like messing around to figure out why so im just gonna make a fresh project and copy my asset bundle stuff over

[flat stag]

Weird, it worked for me

[final dune]

did you do a fresh project

because i didnt

i was actually ripping into my v80 project which was already broken so maybe that's part of the problem lol

[flat stag]

Oh lol

Yeah I always do fresh projects

[final dune]

yeah

i decided to tempt fate

and i lost

Find & Replace

[flat stag]

fuck

i blame @dreamy hawk

[dreamy hawk]

huh

hi

wha happened...

[lilac pelican]

wanted to report that too but my internet died

[rough sandal]

So the patcher updated?

[abstract swan]

It would appear so

[rough sandal]

So can it do the beta version?

[flat stag]

yes

[thorny fox]

YEAAAAAAH

[final dune]

ripping into a fresh project works

for me

[nimble carbon]

Dont ask me

I'm just the messenger

[final dune]

so ya, for all you folks ripping v80... just make a new project it's worth it

[jaunty horizon]

🥴

if anyone could point me in the right direction that'd be appreciated ^^

this is using the fork of the fork from that Wiki
