[Remake Coming] Abandoned Company Assets v0.15.72

[halcyon kayak]

again damn lol

i tested on ver 29 so this must be with 30

[restive ivy]

Wut the

Omg

[tidal elk]

yeah its on the source for 0.8.30

[restive ivy]

It's cuz I patched the glowsticks

[halcyon kayak]

🤑 more bullet lighters

[solemn sundial]

🤣

[restive ivy]

PATCHED AGAIN

ababababa

hecc

at least you pointed it out fast xd

[tidal elk]

i was leaving a trail of lighters along the floor to light the way to the exit

[restive ivy]

lmao

[halcyon kayak]

playing rn on 8.30 and i found 8 lighters on day 1

[restive ivy]

just uploaded 8.31

It came back because I used last night's version to patch glowsticks xd

Anyway; lighters AND glowsticks should be patched with this fix

[halcyon kayak]

i kinda expect glowsticks to have the 1000 spawnrate

[restive ivy]

i will explode

[fringe haven]

Sconeys patch moment :D

[restive ivy]

On the bright side, I might have gotten the flare particles how I want them

what we thinkin

[fringe haven]

'bright side' 🔥

[restive ivy]

makes the ground look like this

at full night anyway

[fringe haven]

Thats spooky

Looks like a more redder version of Eclipse

[restive ivy]

definitely should be spooky

these things are gunna be like last resort lmao

[fringe haven]

Honestly, surprised no one made the Blood Moon mod yet because this really gives that vibe

[restive ivy]

oh, actually, I've forgotten to see if the scan works

Theoretically, just like the glowsticks, you should be able to scan the flare to see it easier if needs be

[short echo]

Pog idea

[restive ivy]

I could do this pretty easily tbh

[short echo]

Enemy spawn rate goes crazy on blood moon days

It's not like eclipse where they're spawned already, but it won't be long before the inside an outside both become hard to manage

[restive ivy]

this is what it looks like in the day

[fringe haven]

youcoulddomasaeas

How easily? Like, would you like, turn it into a weather? 👀

[solemn sundial]

getting chased by SirenHead through this is gonna be awful 💀

[restive ivy]

LOL

[restive ivy]

I was thinking about how I'd approach that

[fringe haven]

Blood Moon could be cool in two ways yeah. Either a random chance to happen during the night, or a weather

Either it would probably make the moon permanently dark & red, and enemy spawns would likely increase. Or new entities spawn, like 'mutated' versions of normal enemies (Kind of like the blood zombies in Terraria etc)

[restive ivy]

So in terms of everything else, is everything in working order now?

Abandoned Company Assets v0.8.31

[fringe haven]

Masa is gonna found out inna bit!

[solemn sundial]

@restive ivy know you're probably satisfied with your bullet lighter, but just saw this and thought I'd share

[restive ivy]

Huh that's really cool lol

I mean if someone wants to throw together a model for it, I'd happily replace it xd

Also....

I whipped up a quick little trailer for flares c:

Bruh

discord

[wraith dew]

RIP own messages

[restive ivy]

Alright, hecc it

YouTube it is

Bruh I fixed it lol

[halcyon kayak]

damn near lit the entire map

[restive ivy]

New candle particles?

[restive ivy]

^ I now know how to use multiple particle systems easily, so more complex particles will be super easy from now on c:

As learned from the flare

which is like mostly particles

new signal flare look/textures

[spring aspen]

I was thinking no particles at all tbh, other than the flame. But I guess it fits an old candle.

[restive ivy]

Candles got another change c:

A change that will kinda force you to use flashlights instead in certain situations

[hot hound]

Candles blowing out, or you need another candle or lighter to re-light?

[spring aspen]

Hope it's something like the latter, as self igniting candle is a bit strange.

[restive ivy]

Well that's just videogame logic, in the name of fun xd

[spring aspen]

Sure.

[restive ivy]

Akin to the first, but specific situations, I'm sure you'll figure it out cx

[spring aspen]

Especially considering that there's already an infinite lamp in the game.

[solemn sundial]

bout to relight these candles with my flashlight

surely sticking it in the Recharge Station wont be a fire hazard

[restive ivy]

Flare model in game c:

[restive ivy]

Signal flare is coming up to being done c:

[tired anvil]

oo, havent checked up on this mod in a while, do we know what this means yet?

[grand timber]

flora means plants...

Could this increase Flowerman spawn rate then?

[restive ivy]

Ahhh, fauna

thank you xd

[hot hound]

or the infamous FlowerHands? (RollingGiant)

[grand timber]

jazz hands 🙌

[halcyon kayak]

if candles get nerfed one more time im gonna lose my mind

[short echo]

Curious what the new nerf is

[restive ivy]

lol they should be fine now, it probably wont force you to use flashlights unless you really wanna see outside c:

[short echo]

Ohhhh

[halcyon kayak]

okay i never use candles outside most of the time anyways since by then id have 2h scrap

[grand timber]

do you think flashlights should cost more? Now that you add cheap options?

[restive ivy]

Naw, not really; I've tried to balance it around the existance of the flashlights

[grand timber]

having a flashlight be only slightly more expensive than your cool options means that we dont get to use them as much though.

[restive ivy]

Ye exactly, but the lighter is like the actual equivalent to flashlights I'd say, although not reusable

[grand timber]

oh also lore-wise flashlights are technologically powered so they have way more expensive materials (materials that the company monster likes to nomnom) :P

[grand timber]

alr :P thanks!

[halcyon kayak]

10 dollar torch when?

[short echo]

Lasts 1 minute

Oh wait you mean like a literal torch like a Minecraft torch. I just assumed you were using the other word for flashlight

Candle > Lighter > Torch > Flashlight > Pro Flashlight

Torch maybe is just a much better candle like pre-nerf, just very rare

[halcyon kayak]

it was a joke for cheap lighting tools

[short echo]

Yea..

[halcyon kayak]

realistically a 10 credit torch would nullify the candle

[short echo]

Not findable lol. It's like the current easter egg item

What lighter is to ||bullet lighter||, candle is to torch

[halcyon kayak]

wait what ||i guessed the easter egg item||

[short echo]

Actually kinda makes me want that

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything but the secret was already kinda out

Due to accidental testing values being left in a release copy

[halcyon kayak]

i didnt know it was actually in there lol

i knew about bullet lighter but i gotta look for that now that its apparently better than the lighter

[short echo]

Well... I don't know that for sure

There IS a special secret mechanic with it, but I don't know what that is exactly

[halcyon kayak]

ill have to see for myself then i guess

[short echo]

I only had one I wasn't meant to have

[halcyon kayak]

oh yeah i had about 40 bullet lighters from the 2 broken versions

lost most of them after we all died

[restive ivy]

still can't believe I patched that bug back into the mod

[halcyon kayak]

it probably wont happen again righttttt

[restive ivy]

It shouldn't xd

checks code to be sure

I think the flare should release today

[halcyon kayak]

how much will it cost?

[restive ivy]

I think the first cost will be around 100-200ish

150 maybe?

[halcyon kayak]

i mean is it reusable?

[restive ivy]

No, but it does light like the entire map lol

[halcyon kayak]

true which if it was too cheap my friends would definetly spam the hell out of it

[restive ivy]

Absolutely would lmfao

[short echo]

Does that work inside...?

[restive ivy]

Nop

[short echo]

Good

[restive ivy]

Can't use it in ship or inside

[halcyon kayak]

yeah afraid ill misclick and 150 down the drain

[restive ivy]

I'm really happy with the looks and the sounds atm

[halcyon kayak]

im ngl i thought it wouldve had multiple uses like the glowsticks but i cant say nothin till i actually see it

[restive ivy]

I'm fairly certain the signal flare should be bug-free on release

[halcyon kayak]

we'll see

[restive ivy]

Sound design for flare done c:

Release should be tomorrow ™️

[halcyon kayak]

this is gonna be me with the flares lol

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-invincible-on-my-way-omni-man-invincible-gif-21360592

[restive ivy]

So far it's my favourite item cx

[halcyon kayak]

yes it will have the largest effect by 100 times

[halcyon kayak]

When is it releasing 🤔

[restive ivy]

I'm actually about to xd

[dusk hearth]

i got you

[restive ivy]

Just need to do one more test xd

[dusk hearth]

:whistles:

[FLARE GUN HALLOWEEN UPDATE, 2X CASH] would be a good addon

https://tenor.com/view/konosuba-aqua-whistling-guilty-anime-gif-17111307

[halcyon kayak]

Roblox looking title

[restive ivy]

IT'S NOT HALLOWEEN

AND THERE'S NO CASH

[dusk hearth]

😦

one can dream

[restive ivy]

im going to steal ur knees

[dusk hearth]

but i like my knees

they help me flex on kneeless people

[restive ivy]

Update is pushed to thunderstore c:

Now just gotta wait for it to be on there properly

[fringe haven]

Remove the kneecaps

Speak only truth

[restive ivy]

#ABANDONED COMPANY ASSETS, EMERGENCY FLARE UPDATE!

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Sconeys/abandonedcompanyassets/

With this update ACA now contains 5 new items added to Lethal Company, all fitting well into the lore and all unique with different mechanics! By far this item is my favourite so far, launching the flare is very satisfying to me, so I hope it is for you! Thank you all for you support, and thank you for 5k downloads (almost 7k now)!

Version 0.9.32

• EMERGENCY FLARE RELEASE!!
  • Emergency flares can be used to light majority (or all of) the outside, or used to signal danger to other employees.
  • Emergency flares are single use but can be bought from the shop for (currently) 100 credits.
  • Lasts around 3 minutes (almost a quarter of a vanilla day)
  • Flares can be scanned from a distance of 250, allowing for better visibility and navigation, potentially even in low visiblity conditions.
  • Use with caution.
• Candle Changes
  • Candles will now no longer function outside in some weather states.

Abandoned Company Assets v0.9.32

Feel free to show me how you end up using them c:

[opaque barn]

OOoooo, nice! These look fun :O

[halcyon kayak]

im gonna turn the sky red

[halcyon kayak]

nah it a trending hashtag

[halcyon kayak]

this item actually worked very well and actually turned the sky red and is great for notifying your team that its time to get the hell out without walkies or going in and yelling not very useful during the day but its a great light source and beacon for people who dont know the bigger moons very well (my entire team) and i would say is worth the 100 credits for operator instead of 3+ walkies and -1 slot for the people using them (unless you have a slot mod which we dont)

my friends said it looked like a meth pipe and another said it looked like an upsidedown incendiary grenade

[short echo]

Slight meaningless incompatibility: you cannot buy emergency flare ammo for the lethal things flaregun when you have this installed. Obviously, this is pointless because they basically do the same thing but it's good to point out I guess

[restive ivy]

Lmfao

Well that's awesome!

Works exactly how I wanted then c:

[restive ivy]

Thank you for letting me know!

[tired anvil]

since this is focused around scrap that's actually useful, how about a brick?

so when i see a thumper i can just

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/799344855280124034/1120558107039367249/IMG_0176.gif

it could be both a melee weapon (very, very short range) or a single use projectile

breaks upon contact with an enemy or a hard surface

by the way, love the amount of light source items you're adding

I've been working on some enemy concepts and it inspired me to create an entity that's attracted to light

[halcyon kayak]

i dont think brick melee would work very well unless it did like no damage or broke instantly but this is a very creative idea

[jaunty parrot]

i came in to check what this mod was, will be staying for caramelldansen lighter

[jaunty parrot]

and then the thumper just

https://tenor.com/view/кот-cat-gif-27591315

[tired anvil]

it's just another function, but yeah lmao

using it as a melee would be """unoptimal"""

(just for shits and giggles)

cuz yeah it would break instantly and have like no fucking range

[tired anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/ultrakill-brick-parry-gif-27597104

the thumper:

[jaunty parrot]

crazy

i'm saving this one

[halcyon kayak]

i was legit doing this 5 minutes ago

[jaunty parrot]

i need a loop with the parry + this

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-brick-tennis-brick-cat-throwing-brick-gif-2447827467746304024

[halcyon kayak]

maybe a brick or rock that stuns for like 3 seconds

[jaunty parrot]

stun + 1dmg

blunt weapon

this game needs blunt weapons

wait

the shovel is a blunt weapon

[tired anvil]

i think stuns should be more coordinated rather than sporadic like throwing a brick

[halcyon kayak]

yeah so is all the other ones except if you have fire axe from lgu

[tired anvil]

they require more strategy (timing stun grenades properly, lining up the zap gun properly)

whereas raw damage you can usually run in and do a few hits

[halcyon kayak]

brick is just a brick it cant be a nuclear bomb

[tired anvil]

no i know lmao

which is why i think a one time use, 1 dmg brick would be cool

[jaunty parrot]

i think 1dmg + the normal (shovel) hitstun would be fine

[halcyon kayak]

yeah like a stun grenade but less accurate

[tired anvil]

plus stuff like thumpers already slow down after getting hit, so it would function as a mini-stun anyway

[tired anvil]

yeah thats what i was thinking

[halcyon kayak]

it only takes like 1 corner turn to escape a thumper if he stops

[tired anvil]

you can juke thumpers pretty easily yeah

[halcyon kayak]

unless you got heavy scrap then you better drop that shi

[tired anvil]

the brick could be useful for tight spaces against thumpers, but they wouldn't be completely reliable like an actual weapon, so it'd be a last resort sort of thing

which i think works for a funny yet useful item you can find randomly

[halcyon kayak]

maybe it could confuse them and make them forget about you after the stun unless they see you again

yeah obv brick wouldnt be in a store

[tired anvil]

LMAO

lobotomize the thumper

https://tenor.com/view/cat-brain-damage-funny-gif-9567713795855473020

[halcyon kayak]

thumpers are cannonically stupid so i think one mini concussion would make them forget what their doing

it could also be configurable like the stun time, damage, and if they forget you or not

and spawn rate of the item

[grand timber]

actually if we're talking about additional ideas, there are a lot of opportunities with even more expensive items!

I had the thought of a sort of electric tripwire trap, which you could set up (with two poles) in front of doorways or whatever, and it would stun enemies that crossed it for a good while

It could spawn naturally too as a hazard (although that might be difficult)

[halcyon kayak]

thats the typa item i would tell my friend to avoid after placing it and 5 seconds later they would step on it

[grand timber]

ziplines could also be cool (would probably be waaaaay more difficult than tripwire)

[hot hound]

Glowsticks still seem to be only working for those dropping it. Anyone can drop them but only they see it. Maybe a mod conflict of mine. 🤷

[dusk hearth]

That's odd, can you send your logs?

Sconeys probably sleeping right now so she'll check out the problem lafer

[restive ivy]

Strange, it should be sync'd

I'll test

[steep sandal]

unfortunately networking is a strange beast

[restive ivy]

True and real

[restive ivy]

making progress on this issue c:

[restive ivy]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Sconeys/abandonedcompanyassets/

Version 0.9.34

• Fixed network syncing with glowsticks, glowsticks will now spawn for all players.
• Fixed potential similar issue with signal flares.

[fringe haven]

Actual fire 🔥

[restive ivy]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Sconeys/abandonedcompanyassets/

Version 0.9.35

• Fixed lighter destroying webs while pocketed.

[grand timber]

Hey @restive ivy, is there any chance you could add some kind of extra use to the candle, maybe as a defense against the ghost girl?

[short echo]

I love the lighter and candle, but now I want to make it hard to use the normal equipment because the lighter is just so fun to use.

[restive ivy]

At some point I might add an interaction with the bracken

[restive ivy]

cx well I'm flattered

everything has ups and downs in this mod c:

I try my best to make them fit in

[dusk hearth]

i be dizzy if i go up and down too fast

:c

[short echo]

There should be a mod for the charging station to be an upgrade rather than default. The batteries mod lets you disable it entirely but not unlock it..

I was thinkin on that today

Wait I've already said this in the ship overhaul idea.

Eh. It still applies

[grand timber]

That’s a really good idea dayum

Especially with this mods mechanics being one use

But it could end up feeling like more of a necessary purchase that just slows you down

[short echo]

True

But antique candles

If lighters were buyable it would be game over

If lighters could be refilled it would be even more game over

Actually there's an idea. Some kind of buyable lighter fluid. Has limited capacity but can refill multiple lighters worth. I kinda wanna play LC but you start at the literal rock bottom and have to rely on non-electrical equipment. I don't actually know how long lighters last normally, I've never worn one out

LC: Brutal mode, except that the Brutal name is already taken

[grand timber]

maybe if there was a way you could unlock the charger through like a series of quests across planets

or something of that sort :P

that could make for cooler longer runs

[short echo]

TBH I think it's more of a question of if the mod is paired with the right mods

[grand timber]

but the charger really is insanely useful/super necessary

playing the game without one would be difficult

[short echo]

I see the point but also it depends on mod loadout

[grand timber]

I think probably the best option would be (if types of ships were ever a thing) have a really good ship, with like everything, EXCEPT the charger

there could be a charger at the company

[short echo]

I'm gonna try turning off the charger and making the battery item available in the store for 5 credits. See where that gets me

I just really like the idea that you can cheapskate your way through a few quotas

[short echo]

Actually this is a nice compromise. This or only being able to use the charger in orbit- maybe it works solely off of the engine power? Precaution against fully draining the ship battery leaving the crew stranded on a dangerous moon?

Also unless this is reproducible on a flooding surface it's likely an OopsallFlooded incompatibility but haha underwater candle go brrr

[restive ivy]

Yeah that’s definitely a weird issue with oopsallflooded lol candles don’t work outside during flooded or raining

But also you’ve made something apparent to me which I’m going to patch now lol

[wraith dew]

Congrats on a billion more posts. (1,282 and counting.)

[restive ivy]

Let’s goooo

[restive ivy]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Sconeys/abandonedcompanyassets/

Version 0.9.36

• Lighters and candles will no longer function underwater.

[latent flower]

1984

[neat steppe]

But now how am I going to have my underwater birthday parties!

https://tenor.com/view/table-flip-anime-angry-gif-12163263

[short echo]

Lol

Hey, how long do lighters tend to last?

[halcyon kayak]

do all scrap lighters found inside have no fuel?

[short echo]

Mine have some

[restive ivy]

Lighters will always have a randomised amount of fuel above 0

(15 minutes to 30 I believe)

[short echo]

omg

That's a long time

Mayyyybe I don't need to nerf electronics

[halcyon kayak]

i have yet to have one last for more than 5 after all the nerfs

the past 3 candles i found indoors had to fuel

you might have made them start lit?

because when i find them they have that smooth part at the top like when it goes out

[restive ivy]

Nop they defo start not lit

They only use fuel when they’re on

[vital sphinx]

Hi, I really love the glowstick and the lighter ! But the flare make it unable to buy ammo for the flare gun in another mod. I've looked and realize that there's no config to set specific item off. Is config planned for this mod ? Thank.

[restive ivy]

I'll be working on sorting that out at some point soon c:

[vital sphinx]

Excellent new ! We had to pass on your mod last time sadly but I this mod will definitely be added when config will be there.

We still tested it and the glowsticks, let me tell you, this is by far in my top 5 brilliant ideas I’ve found!

Making a disposable pack of three is such a good idea. It balance the fact we don’t have a lot of inventory but not too much to easily fill the interior with glowsticks.

[grand timber]

Get that one terminal autocomplete fix mod!

[jaunty parrot]

hey i've been wanting to try out making a mod, do you have any tips on making 3d models for items and implementation

[spring aspen]

For making 3D models: Blender unless you want to pay for another software.

[dusk hearth]

Just try to follow a general blender tutorial for blender hotkeys etc and after like 50 minutes and messing with a couple hours you'll know what to do

[jaunty parrot]

what about getting the correct size for LC

can you just shrink the model later on

[dusk hearth]

To get the sizes I wanted I just made a big model and imported to unity along with LC's models and shrank if needed to tbh

But generally blender has measurements when you make meshes

So just keep in mind the player is like 2 meters tall or smthn

[latent flower]

the player is dutch

[steep sandal]

[restive ivy]

My models are always like the size of a small building when I export them lol

I just shrink in unity

[jaunty parrot]

lol oke

[jaunty parrot]

what poly count should i aim for

[solemn sundial]

lower is closer to basegame and better for folks running on low end rigs

[jaunty parrot]

what 'lower' should i aim for

[spring aspen]

No more than the most high poly object in LC I'd assume. You can always do the retopology after the model is finished.

[jaunty parrot]

and how much would that be...

[spring aspen]

🤷

[dusk hearth]

As a general tip, if it looks like roblox, it's good, for meshes you can add a modifier called subdivision that makes them look higher quality without performance costs and you can shade them smooth by right clicking and pressing smooth so just settle for super low poly

[restive ivy]

Well for example the candle started from a cylinder with only 15 sides lol

[dusk hearth]

Which is actually too much too

Well not too much

But unnecessaey

[jaunty parrot]

how many polys is the lighter?

[restive ivy]

Starting work on the first company item to be found in the dungeon c:

[dusk hearth]

Aren't all of these items findable inside already?

[restive ivy]

Not all, I'm starting on the ones that are in the game already

First one being the bb flashlight

[dusk hearth]

Oooh

Ah, the shitty flashlight?

[solemn sundial]

🤞 please make it a "Broken Flashlight" that flickers, please make it a "Broken Flashlight" that flickers 🤞

[restive ivy]

It's going to be a host of various potential effects

[solemn sundial]

||ps: there're a number of mods now that add the base items into the game as findable items, so less of a need for that if you don't feel like recreating the wheel so to speak||

[solemn sundial]

huge, lets go

[restive ivy]

yeah...they all appared after I started making this mod lol

but I'm gunna do it better

so

[solemn sundial]

huge

[restive ivy]

They're not going to be 1:1 of the shop items

[solemn sundial]

A "Pro-Radio" that's an upgraded version of the regular walkie would be cool - could imply there are teams out there with access to better equipment than us

[stark bolt]

G'day, I've noticed your github linked to the mod is busted. is that intended or an oopsie...? D:

but while this thread is still here:

There seems to be an issue where the name of your emergency flares are colliding with the emergency flare (ammo) from lethal things.

could they be renamed or differentiated somehow? Like say, Emergency Signal Flare?

[solemn sundial]

Abandoned Asset Idea: Crowbar

• could be used as a weapon
• could be used to pry open locked doors (but eventually breaks when used this way)

[latent flower]

wake up and smell the ashes

Mr Freeman

[stark bolt]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-kleur-gif-18858829

hopefully a weapon that hits more rapidly than shov but is less damage? if you can get like a .5 of a damage. rather than shovs 1

could be good to have some variable speed.

[latent flower]

next up, half life bunny hopping

[solemn sundial]

pretty sure a mod does that already lmao

[solemn sundial]

maybe fade the base green like its been left sit for a long time? 👀

[restive ivy]

initial test of flickering for the flashlight

also model comparison

[short echo]

YOOOO

This mod is gonna be 60% alternate light sources but I love it because every single one is a banger

[restive ivy]

The plan for rn is to have a range of different potential malfunctions with equipment found in the dungeon, randomised per item, as well as the chance to be perfectly functional

Their scrap value will be slightly higher than their shop counterparts, since it's more considered "recovered" equipment

Therefor, being paid a "bounty" for recovering Company equipment

[jaunty parrot]

oh wow that is some low light

[restive ivy]

All traits will not be immidiately revealed also

To prevent someone picking up an item and just instantly dropping it again because it has something they don't like

[solemn sundial]

yeah imo it should go from "slightly brighter than the OG flashlight" to "completely off", to show the batteries/internals are really failing and can't maintain a steady output

[restive ivy]

that was just a initial test amount, this is what it looks like rn

[restive ivy]

@

The initial very slight feigning on the torch will be there for all abandoned torches

but the actual flickering will only occur if the flickering state is chosen

[solemn sundial]

Looking better!
||a slight clicking noise when it flickers might be cool too, or it might get annoying, not sure 🤔 ||

[restive ivy]

Just got the flashlight network syncing properly, as well as having the flickering behavior when on the shoulder

[stark bolt]

😮

[restive ivy]

The Abandoned Flashlight might release today

[restive ivy]

Also config will finally be coming with the next update

As stated previously; you wont have the ability to edit the specifics of the items, but I will let you disable/enable items at your leisure

[restive ivy]

^

[dusk hearth]

demoted for light mode IDE

[restive ivy]

ur mum

[restive ivy]

and that's notepad++

[dusk hearth]

i dont know whats worse, coding in notepad++ or using lightmode or both

[restive ivy]

im not coding in it dum dum

that is an autogenerated config

[vital sphinx]

Config is coming! Yes !!

But I have to be honest with you.

We dicided to remove what was conflicting with your mod to get yours instead. I think config is important but your mod is a gem.

We’re also looking forward for the bb flashlight. Look awesome.

[restive ivy]

Oh WOW! That's really fucking awesome to hear!

I appreciate it!

[restive ivy]

that will be false by default

[restive ivy]

@wraith dew is this allowed btw?

I'l remove it if not

[wraith dew]

@pearl oak ? It is related to lethal company,,

[restive ivy]

yes

[pearl oak]

we just discussed it and im gonna allow it for now on the basis of it being relevant and in your own thread, but i still need to talk to some others to have it fully approved to get something solid. so to be in the clear, pls delete the message once ur done streaming

[short echo]

Yayyyy!

[lost plinth]

Hell yeahhh I've been wanting those abandoned usable scraps in the facility for so long, thank u 🙏

[restive ivy]

More to come!

[lost plinth]

Poggg looking forward!! just loved the idea of seeing traces of others have went inside the facility before, you can do so much with it!!

[restive ivy]

Gunna start working on the pro flashlight now, since it will be minimal work c:

[spring aspen]

No so much an ask but simply a question. ReservedFlashlightSlot support?

[restive ivy]

By my understanding...I believe that it should be supported by default? I'd assume that ReservedFlashlightSlot uses flashlight items as reference but if not I may consider adding in future

[spring aspen]

I'm gonna check.

[restive ivy]

There's some features that might not work correctly if using ReservedFlashlightSlot, so

[spring aspen]

It doesn't go into the slot. But maybe for the best, considering what you say about it possibly not working correctly.

[restive ivy]

Mhm, mhm

[restive ivy]

yes? xd

[spring aspen]

Doesn't look right.

[restive ivy]

oh that's exactly how the normal one is

[spring aspen]

Yeah, you're right.

[restive ivy]

I thought it was weird too, but hey

[spring aspen]

Don't use regular flash much.

[restive ivy]

if that's how they want it xd

[spring aspen]

Still looks wrong, but at least it's not your fault.

[restive ivy]

yes xd

game weirdge

lmk if you run into any bugs 👀

oh wait I just realised one

Not one that you guys will notice atm but I'll fix it still xd

[dusk hearth]

It's the bug that bugged

[vital sphinx]

I love the lighter

[restive ivy]

Yoooo that's so cool

Sooooo close to 20k

I reckon we hit it today

Abandoned Company Assets v0.10.43

[dusk hearth]

Jealous

[little spindle]

Hi hi. There exists two mods already that "Allow you to find equipment within the facility that can aid you in your scavenging."
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Snowlance/SpawnableItems/ works as host only and has per-item rate config though it's messy, but I use it.
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/KawaiiBone/Remnants/ requires everyone to have it for some reason and doesn't mention it, has some nice config ideas.
Edit: https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Ozone/Spawnable_Store_Items/ also this one I haven't investigated because it seems redundant and abandoned : )

Minor warning, if a ladder spawns inside on a stormy day it will be hit by lightning. Otherwise not seen issues. Dunno what would happen if someone used a jetpack inside B) Could test.

[short echo]

Yea but do these mods have flip lighters?

[spring aspen]

And those are related to this mod how?

[grand timber]

Yeah this is indeed a little unrelated since the goal of this mod is slightly different…

Really quick though, I’m actually trying out Spawnable Items, can you configure rates per moon? And, does it have custom moon support at all?

[spring aspen]

Description has an answer to that.

[grand timber]

It does?

I can’t find it 😢

[narrow oar]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[grand timber]

Ahh

I see, thnx u… dang :(

[spring aspen]

Look at Planned Features.

[grand timber]

I saw that yeah, apologies :/. I think I assumed that meant simply changing its default value

11pm and a lil tired

[restive ivy]

These mods were actually released after mine c:

[spring aspen]

That doesn't look abandoned. 🧐

[restive ivy]

yet

[solemn sundial]

oh lawd

she cookin

[fringe haven]

Once you get to the jetpack there better be a way for yippee bugs to wear it and use it :0 (Just got this idea in Masa's mind and it sounds very entertaining so it had to be shared)

[little spindle]

It's not a competition I'm just spreading that knowledge particularly if open source projects.

[spring aspen]

Mods you posted do completely different thing though.

They simply spawn store items in facility. ACA adds new useful scrap.

[little spindle]

I quoted a planned features of ACA's description.

[spring aspen]

I don't think that meant spawning existing store items in facility.

Probably stuff like a cart you can fill with scrap.

@restive ivy can you clarify?

[little spindle]

That's in a mod already sure.
Let's not speculate further anyway.

[spring aspen]

Huh?

[restive ivy]

My mod does something completely different to those two mods, you can literally look at the newest item for an example of that

[spring aspen]

Nah, it's about one of your planned features.

Allow you to find equipment within the facility that can aid you in your scavenging.

[restive ivy]

Taking the one without the context of the others is rather strange

these all go hand-in-hand

the abandoned flashlight is an example of that

All those other two mods do is spawn the base game items inside the facility

[spring aspen]

I think a lot of people would assume that those bulletpoint are separate.

[restive ivy]

My mod creates completely separate items, based on the base game items that spawn in the facility

They're the "same" item

from a different point in time

In different condition

As opposed to just, slapping the items in the facility

[spring aspen]

Makes sense now, because current items already aid you so to speak.

[restive ivy]

also I'd like to note; it's rather weird to come into someone else's mod thread and post two mods which you believe make this mod obsolete

[spring aspen]

Don't think that was their intention and I hope I didn't make you think it was.

[spring aspen]

Maybe renaming that section from "Future of this mod" to something like "Philosophy of this mod" would clear up any future possible confusion?

[restive ivy]

Eh, maybe, but at the current moment it is the future since I still need to get around to creating all the items

[spring aspen]

Are you planning to make that red flash as a pristine buyable version?

[restive ivy]

I might make a buyable version of it, but I'd wanna see how it feels first

[little spindle]

Thanks for thinking positively.
There was no insinuation that ACA is not a unique and novel mod. Edit: which I will be using in my private modded lobbies.
I wrote everything that I want to convey and might interest and affect developers of tool-spawning mods.

[restive ivy]

Ahhhhh, okay

[little spindle]

On the other hand, ACA might make those mods redundant for the experience I'm trying to create in private.
I don't suppose you are planning interaction with the findable batteries mod? (it might just already work, will test) (someone is also making radar boosters into mobile charging stations but the game feel is a bit off to me)

[restive ivy]

I am potentially bringing findable batteries as a compatibility, if it isn't already c:

I use that mod myself

[little spindle]

Extra long dungeons gonna be interesting.

[spring aspen]

You talking about this one? https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/eXish/Batteries/

Only wish this mod worked similarly to reloading a shotgun. As in having item you want to reload in your hands and pressing a corresponding key. But I guess it doesn't work like that because that would probably require changing every battery powered item directly, which is a compatibility nightmare.

[solemn sundial]

if I might give some feedback - try to align the scuffs/dings with the corners and edges, where the flashlight is most likely to have taken damage

[short echo]

It... Does tho?

Press C holding any electric powered item. Yes, including modded ones

[spring aspen]

Oh, either it worked like that in earlier version or I mistook it with something else.

[pastel sable]

This mod + Astroid13 = 😘

[spring aspen]

Game crashes on exit since the last update. Wasn't an issue before last update.

Confirmed. Tested on clean profile with ACA only.

[restive ivy]

Yeah it's a weird issue I noticed, no idea why

[restive ivy]

I mean I'm not that worried tbf, it's basically a non issue

[spring aspen]

Sure, crash on closing is better than any other kind. But it will worry people that had none before nonetheless.

[restive ivy]

If someone could try n get a screenshot of the crash message would help c:

[hot hound]

No screenshot since you really can't but here's a log testing with just ACA itself along with it's dependencies. I only just got to main menu and exited and then crashed.

[dusk hearth]

Don't think game was up long enough to properly log anything lol

[hot hound]

A bit longer into it lol. Maybe this one's better 🤷

[restive ivy]

that's so weird, there's nothing there that even indicates a crash

[latent flower]

sometimes programs just die for unknown reasons

check windows event log

[restive ivy]

just realised I changed the flare's name by default lol

[restive ivy]

Since this item is two-handed, it will slowly charge when left on the ship

ALSO

this item is basically done

so

The idea is that it's going to be pretty damn heavy, light a lot, have relatively long battery life but also be two handed.

One person would basically have to be the dedicated flashlight holder if they wanted to use this

[pastel sable]

[restive ivy]

It'll be coming tomorrow

[pastel sable]

nice-

[short echo]

NICE

So it's like the handheld floodlight of the flashlight family that is being created here

[spring aspen]

Player.log is what you need.

that's fucking amazing

I am proud of you!!!!

[restive ivy]

awhaaa

what partttt

[latent flower]

the actual feature

[restive ivy]

awaawawawa

[latent flower]

the giant flashlight

[restive ivy]

beeg

[latent flower]

beeeeg

humongous, even

[spring aspen]

Crash on quit seems to be fixed so far. Thank you!

Hmm. Industrial Flashlights doesn't seem to be much better than a regular Pro.

[short echo]

It's the protopro flashlight. Before the sleek yellow package, there were these abominations

Company (or their equipment provider) improved on the design significantly and now the old ver isn't in production anymore

Wait I haven't played yet. You can't buy these in the store, right?

[spring aspen]

Industrial Flashlights are a two handed, heavy flashlight, with significant lighting potential!

No, they are scrap.

[short echo]

Ok, just scrap. New headcanon for this mod

[spring aspen]

Unless it's not supposed to be better than Pro. Description just felt like it is supposed to.

[restive ivy]

Huh, you're right

I need to buff it

I'll also be buffing the battery use

[jaunty parrot]

would there be any way to make the radius larger? i think it'd fit

[restive ivy]

Previous was with another light on the ground

this is it alone

it has the lowest battery use in the game too

Actually turns out it's broken lol

[jaunty parrot]

a?

[restive ivy]

ABANDONED COMPANY ASSETS 0.11.47

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Sconeys/abandonedcompanyassets/

Version 0.11.47

• Fixed the Industrial Flashlight.
  • Much brighter than before.
  • Has significantly more charge.
  • Charges much slower on ship.
  • Slightly heavier.

wuh oh

sec

there's a bad bug with this one

[pastel sable]

oof

[restive ivy]

Pushed a patch for it already

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Sconeys/abandonedcompanyassets/

Version 0.11.48

• Fixed missing object reference.

it should go up just after the last one

or maybe even at the same time (hopefully)

[short echo]

Nice

[restive ivy]

It's now as strong as I wanted it to be

but is an absolute bitch to use

You can't run from anything you see with this if you're too slow to

[restive ivy]

Pushed one last balance update

[short echo]

Back Muscles save me

Wait, 63 pounds AND hands full?

What's it tend to be in scrap value?

[vital sphinx]

63 pound ma ?! Ooufff that a realllly chunky flashlight.

You’ll be heavy in no time and don’t think about bringing tools, I think the flashlight is too much heavy to be worth taking. Cool items to find but too heavy.

[short echo]

Kind of agree... but also it is a very cool flashlight

[tired anvil]

could be used a beacon of light to guide you though, even if you can't take it with ya often

i agree though that 63 is a loot

[short echo]

IMO being two-handed AND 60 pounds AND loot-only is a tad much. Personally I would make it not two handed (we can store boomboxes!) and keep 60lbs loot-only, but I don't want to come off whiny like "BEEG FLASHLIGHT SUXX MOD BAD!!11!"

[tired anvil]

like, that's usually what a full inv with half lightweights and heavy items looks like

[short echo]

I guess technically you either pocket or drop candles/lighters, the mod is consistent with making you drop lights to do anything.

Well, aside from old greens.

Speaking of, yesss just found the abandoned flashlight. I love it. It's useless, but I love it

[spring aspen]

Even if it was like 30lb, it still wouldn't be really worth taking after bringing it back to the ship.

[short echo]

Naw, I'd use it at 30lb

Maybe I'm being unfair because of personal bias against anything two-handed

[spring aspen]

Huh? It's two handed though.

If you has bias against two handed, you wouldn't use it.

You also don't really need that much light with vanilla darkness anyway.

[short echo]

No, I'm saying maybe I'm being unfair against the current version of the flashlight because it's two-handed and I shouldn't judge it before I've even found it in-game

You know what we need as a mod? Some method of carrying a second two hander without outright removing the mechanic. Like a tow rope to drag the engines behind you, or maybe a backpack that only carries one item but can hold two handers

You can only use this method on one two-hander at a time. So either you carry two scrap or 1 scrap and a floodlight (or other modded two-handed piece of equipment)

Probably best as its own mod idea, might suggest later

Kind of warming up to the heavy flashlight

[spring aspen]

IMO, better way to balance Industrial Flashlight would be making it weigh around 20 and have scrap value a bit less than two handed items of similar weight. And finally, bigger than Pro but non-rechargable battery.

[devout wren]

^ Perhaps also have a chonky battery replacement also as scrap if this plan is a go

[restive ivy]

I'll be reducing the weight a bit

[dusk hearth]

2 handed is good, 60 lbs may not be

For reference a gold bar and cash registers are like 100 to 150 value, one of em is one handed, and both at like 80+ lbs, though they're extremely rare so makes sense

[jaunty parrot]

imo 39-47lb would be good imo

[restive ivy]

I wish calculating the weight was easier lol

[restive ivy]

Abandoned Company Assets Version 0.11.50

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Sconeys/abandonedcompanyassets/

Version 0.11.50

• Industrial Flashlight balance again.
  • Battery consumtion is slightly higher.
  • Weight reduced from 63 to 47.
  • Max potential value reduced from 200 to 125

[BIGGER IS BETTER UPDATE] Abandoned Company Assets v0.11.50

[latent flower]

it was 63 lbs?? holy shit

[little spindle]

Real Styropyro device

[stark bolt]

thanks for that btw. noticed it the other night. now I turned the flaregun back on.

[stark bolt]

ability to shine it in the giants eyes at close range to make him dizzy, when?

[stark bolt]

oh my what. DAT WEIGHT.

[stark bolt]

[laughs in wheel barrow/shopping trolley in lategame upgrades]

you can actually stick a candle in one and have it stay lit, so you can walk around with a candle light wheelbarrow (said trolley and wheelbarrow can also take multiple twohander items too, at the risk of combining the weight but reducing it by a small percentage and making you squeak a lot), it's pretty nice.

really useful for the freighter of the group moving stuff to ship if too many twohanders come out.

and just really handy if the trolley spawns in the map and you gotta get out. probably died a few too many times being greedy while using it and getting lost

[short echo]

Eh, I never really liked the wheelbarrow for going inside

Hard to explain why

I guess partly because it's expensive and I'm a solo player who could die at any moment and lose all equipment not on the ship

[restive ivy]

the candle should eventually go out even if not being held

[stark bolt]

I usually leave it outside, but alrighty. unless I find the shopping trolley.

[stark bolt]

hm... it stayed active for a while, so it was nice. but I was ended by a snare flea and some other stuff that came while I was blinded and then a hoard bug stole my trolley before my screen went back to the ship

[restive ivy]

pff lmao

[stiff juniper]

Hello

Do you allow suggestions?

[restive ivy]

Yep! c:

[stiff juniper]

What happens is that in another mod thread I came up with an idea to make a "mid" counter to the eyeless dogs.

A new purchaseable item called IED (Intentionally Explosive Device) [Name created by @jagged python]

The IED is a mine where the player can place it anywhere, but any creature can step on it and explode because of it, differentiating it from normal mines that only explode by a player.

This object will come in two states, the deactivated one (comes by default when dropped by the dropship) where it can be grabbed and dropped; and the activated one, with a visual cue that differentiates it from the deactivated one, can't be picked up when activated.

In short, a placeable and purchasable mine where any creature that steps on it will explode, including other players.

[dusk hearth]

you could make it both explode and trigger stuns for all in radius

[restive ivy]

[jagged python]

So that it still has an effect on unkillable entities

Would kinda blow to have a coilhead dead-sprint through it with no impact

[restive ivy]

If wondering why no updates since pro flashlight model, it's cuz dragon's dogma has stolen me away for a bit...AAANDDD going through caffine withdrawal

(quitting energy drinks lol)

dragon's dogma is really good tho c:

[stiff juniper]

cool!

[short echo]

Nice

[restive ivy]

Actually; I just got sudden inspiration to test work on another idea I had

[stiff juniper]

Oof, F IED :,]

but good luck on your idea

[restive ivy]

Okay actually I'm SUPER into this idea lol

it's a separate mod idea

[dusk hearth]

Oh interesting

Spoil it

[restive ivy]

[jagged python]

Ominous

[latent flower]

me when the court refers to my explosive as an "IED" when I used the most prestigious of materials and fine craftsmanship

[vital sphinx]

That is so cool, that’s like the pro flashlight that the last crew left behind. Or maybe it’s old stuff from when the moons was still active.

I presume the pro flashlight will have the same sweet mechanic as the bb flashlight?

[jagged python]

Lens should be cracked

[spring aspen]

What's the ETA on config?

[restive ivy]

yeeep

[restive ivy]

config?

[spring aspen]

Sorry, forgot it was already there. Was wondering if we'll get more things to configure? Like picking which items can be bought or not.

[restive ivy]

Ohh, yeah shop customization is there too. You can choose what items (that are in the shop already) are or aren't in there. I might add a feature where you can order a "Repossessed Equipment Bundle" which could give you a random set of the abandoned items

[spring aspen]

I am blind. Sorry.

I just thought all of these were a simple on/off for the items.

[restive ivy]

Nope! All good!

[hollow moss]

Abandoned walkie talkie

[restive ivy]

soon ™️

[wind valve]

you gotta trademark the walkie talkie too when you release it

Abandoned Walkie Talkie Update ™️

[jaunty parrot]

lemme just throw in another of my ideas i have in here

a low life (4-6min) talkie with a small integrated weak flashlight

[fringe haven]

The abandoned Walkie Talkie should have a rare chance to pick up 'crew survivors'.

Get a bunch of people to do voices kind of like how Phasmophobia did it with the spirit box & radio responses, and then have that be a random thing you can hear while using the abandoned walkie talkie

Just a suggestion.~

[restive ivy]

this would be cool as fuck

[fringe haven]

You can get Insym to do a voice

And yourself

[restive ivy]

Insym is actually one of the main people I really would love to see try this mod cx

gad damn thunderstore is slow today

In the sense that "oh you fell to your death so your flashlight got damaged"

• Fixed the Abandoned Pro-Flashlight's position in hand.
• Added a small easter egg.

or a config that would be off by default

I'd prefer to make a different model and have a seperate system for it

[cunning turret]

@restive ivy Was just wondering, any chance you could make the abandoned flashlights work with ReservedFlashlightSlot? ;o

I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to go into the reserved slot if you're not carrying a flashlight on you

[spring aspen]

#1205643578764693524 message

[cunning turret]

I've yet to find one with malfunctions but maybe I haven't left one on long enough to discover it

Also a small bug, but lighters don't give the scrap collected popup when putting them in the ship @restive ivy

[cunning turret]

Candle doesn't either

Odd

[little spindle]

Uh candles.. do they light or just low value scrap?

Never had one with a lighter at the same time so dunno if there's some interaction there.

[jagged python]

yeh

it's a weak light

[spring aspen]

Lighter brightness needs to be toned down.

Feels like holding a torch.

[cunning turret]

It's brighter than the Industrial Flashlight which is so funny 😆

[little spindle]

That is funny. Yeah it could be dimmer. It's currently a great item love burning the extra webs away with arachnophillia

[short echo]

Yeah it is kinda my fave find of this mod

[short echo]

Nice

Maybe if you could only hear, not speak to other walkies?

A "salvaged items only" run would be interesting with this mod

New idea: this mod with shop prices on all (scrap-replaceable) vanilla items tripled

Also curious what a lockpicker scrap would look like

Maybe a set of actual lockpicking tools you have to hold and use on the door for several seconds with a chance to break the picks?

[restive ivy]

I have an idea for this actually

I could make it function like the glowsticks where it has multiple uses

but you have to press "E" a certain amount of times and it'll open, but if you press it too much times, it breaks

[dusk hearth]

Please please

Please

Make a lock pick that's the exact same one

As the one from one armed robber

The lock picking in that game is hilarious and fun

[short echo]

Ooooooooo

I like that

[solemn sundial]

would be a lot of work, but I'm still team "bethesda/skyrim/fallout style" lockpicking

[dusk hearth]

One armed robber lockpicking > all

[jagged python]

your audio coming through as just crunchified garbage instead of just silence would be good

[jagged python]

Ah yeah, Texas Chainsaw Massacre does this

[restive ivy]

Pretty sure I could definitely do this

[fringe haven]

Unless you are named Connie

[cunning turret]

@restive ivy Odd question but what happened to the blue pro flashlight you showcased before? I really liked that blue texture for it tbh lol

[restive ivy]

I can make the textures any colour c:

[dusk hearth]

Yeah ngl that tutorial is so good, textures are looking amazing rn

[restive ivy]

Perfec c:

[cunning turret]

Btw any known mods that might make the random malfunctions not work or are they just hard to notice sometimes?

[restive ivy]

They don't appear right away

there shouldn't any conflicts

[cunning turret]

👍

[dusk hearth]

Since you borrow from the flashlight class, maybe mods that mess with the flashlight stuff would cause incompatibility, haven't heard of anything like that yet tho

[dusk hearth]

Also how's your eye project going

[cunning turret]

Looking forward to that Abandoned walkie talkie

[restive ivy]

Soon ™️

Been moving the ratties to a new home c:

[jagged python]

New scrap

Ratte

[tired anvil]

awww!!!

so cute :]

[restive ivy]

New home in question c:

[dusk hearth]

off to the janitor's closet with ye

[cunning turret]

:3

[spring aspen]

Just noticed that abandoned flashlights' lights are not shadowcasting.

[shut kindle]

would be cool to have some sort of flashlight that has TECHNICALLY infinite battery but you have to stand still to crank it + the battery depletes VERY fast compared to a regular/pro flashlight

[spring aspen]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/VersusWorks/Dynamo_Flashlight/

[tired anvil]

oh fuck that's sick

[jagged python]

Amnesia Bunker flashlight

[restive ivy]

I could do something like that

[jagged python]

Omfg this guy didn't understand how the flashlight works

[shut kindle]

real

[jagged python]

Like

That dynamo flashlight mod is it basically

But

• No dynamo pull animation (flavor loss)
• The audio is at a constant high intensity (should be a rather low whirring for the spinning mechanism inside, and only loud when initially pulled)
• Barely used any stamina to pull the cord when that's kinda meant to be part of the gimmick (honestly minor issue)

[restive ivy]

We'd be having it so you need to hold it to charge it...and it wouldn't be pointed forward

one of these badboys

or these

[jagged python]

Mhm these would be great

Like just

Holding down Q will consume Stamina and fill the battery

But the full charge lasts for maybe 30 seconds and slowly gets more dim over time

[cunning turret]

@restive ivy so I had abandoned company assets throw an exception earlier when backing out of the game, and when I loaded back in the abandoned flashlights we collected got deleted, so I'm guessing it might just be best to disable those spawning in in the config 😦 the other stuff like the ligher and candle were still there though

[restive ivy]

eh?

they seem to save fine on my version

Has anyone else had this issue?

[cunning turret]

Maybe it was smart item saving removing them to avoid corruption

Idk

[cunning turret]

Yeah it was probably this

[restive ivy]

Idek what that means

All the items have IDs and names

[cunning turret]

So I think when AbandonedCompanyAssets caused the exception when I tried to exit after we couldn't land the ship, I saw it threw exceptions for the Abandoned Flashlights meaning the id's probably became missing or corrupted, so to avoid save corruption Smart Item Saving deleted them

I'm not sure why it threw a fit to begin with tbh, but apparently @rough tree said someone else also had a similar stack trace exception get thrown when they were in my stream chat last night

[rough tree]

yeah @storm isle's logs had a bunch of exceptions from this mod

[restive ivy]

That's weird, I've not seen any issues while testing

Is it like actually game breaking?

I'd kinda need the logs if I were to do anything

[harsh thunder]

why causes it to spam my log like this_

[restive ivy]

Let me look into this

[restive ivy]

were you the host?

[harsh thunder]

yes

[restive ivy]

What item were you using?#

/ when did it happen

[harsh thunder]

at first i tried to land at a custom moon but it got stuck at "random seed: xxx xxxx" and when i pressed quit this spammed my log but i couldnt quit but was still stuck ingame

[restive ivy]

df

[restive ivy]

I'm not able to recreate this

[restive ivy]

If someone can recreate the bug above, please tell me how c:

[dusk hearth]

It do be spamming stuff about the flickering right, maybe check the functions you have there and add null checks

[restive ivy]

Yeah I was looking through it, but my issue is that I'm not getting this error at all

I could try just reverting the way it's handled

[dusk hearth]

Nah that wouldn't really be a fix, can I see both the way you handled it before and after for code?

Something is probably getting deleted or cut through a condition that's not meant to be running/the opposite of what I said

[restive ivy]

I'm just reverting it cuz I don't think it really matters that much lol

[dusk hearth]

Alrightie, gold luck lol

[restive ivy]

it just means that the flickers wont be perfectly sync'd but that really doesn't matter xd

[restive ivy]

I believe the walkie might be ready

[restive ivy]

ABANDONED COMPANY ASSETS VERSION 0.13.57

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Sconeys/abandonedcompanyassets/

Version 0.13.57

• ADDED ABANDONED WALKIE-TALKIE.
  • Spawns inside the facility.
  • Multiple possible malfunctions.
  • Random amount of charge.
• Fixed a bug with Abandoned Flashlights.
• Potentially fixed the flickering light issue.~

Version 0.13.58

• Fixed Walkie icon.

[cunning turret]

Same thing that happened on my end yesterday

[cunning turret]

It's not easy to reproduce

You can do an entire play session without issues like I did a couple days ago

Last night it did it randomly when we tried to land on Rend

Same issue as jontep where it got stuck on random seed and wouldn't land

then I couldn't back out of the lobby and it threw the exceptions

[restive ivy]

Theoretically it shouldn't happen anymore

[low python]

Is this compatible with Reserved Item Slots?

[restive ivy]

It's not currently (and it would kinda break some features of it)

I want to add compatibility with it tho

Also

I'll be going on a little break from updating this mod to focus on a different modding project for a little bit (I don't want to burn myself out!) but since it's in a stable state rn, everything should be good

[spring aspen]

You can actually add custom items to slots since 2.0 rewrite.

[low python]

But she'd need to set holstered positions for them

[dusk hearth]

She* and I think it'd be less a compatible thing but manual thing no?

[spring aspen]

I didn't mean as a dev. You can do it as a user.

Custom items added that way don't show up on the body, so no need to worry about that.

I also don't quite understand how it would break some features. It's just a slot essentially. Do abandoned flashlights not work correctly when not held in hand or something? Them shining when not held is a vanilla feature.

[restive ivy]

oh?

oh

[restive ivy]

It's certain things that happen when switching to them, which you do naturally when playing without the slots

[spring aspen]

I guess the main incompatibility would be from extra hotkeys that let you toggle flashlight for example, and not the slots themselves?

[dusk hearth]

I'm really confused what you mean by "them shining when not held is a vanilla feature." When talking about the abandoned flashlights

[spring aspen]

If you turn on a flashlight and switch from it to something else it will still shine.

So stuff like flickering should still work.

[restive ivy]

There's a lot of other stuff than just the flickering which occurs when you actually hold the flashlight

[spring aspen]

Only when you hold?

[restive ivy]

mhm

[spring aspen]

No way to make it always occur?

[restive ivy]

Mayyybe?

I'd have to look into it

[spring aspen]

I feel like so many people will miss those, because a lot of them at least use a flashlight hotkey mod of some sort.

[low python]

What do you think about adding dead employee corpses next to abandoned items like Remnants does?

[low python]

idk why but items i find are always at 100% battery

[restive ivy]

Curious

[low python]

What are the malfunctions that the flashlights can have? I've found a total of 4 abandoned pro-flashlights and they were all working like normal pro-flashlights

[restive ivy]

They don't show their malfunctions right off the bat

[restive ivy]

For anyone wondering about this; here's a little test video of what I'm currently working on

It's going to be a separate new mod

This enemy will be released on its own when finished, as well as then being used in a larger mod I'm working on

(also oooo super scary test cube)

frankly tho, the AI for this is already kinda spooky

Once I make the model and the audio

this shit is going to be very fucking scary

[devout wren]

What will it be or you keeping the monster secret for now?

[dusk hearth]

clearly its a cube of death

[viral holly]

is toothless a mod or did you edit him in

[restive ivy]

he just sits on my OBS, happy boy

[restive ivy]

yeah this

totally

[viral holly]

awww, someone need to make a mod that changes his emotions based on damage and loot

[restive ivy]

I'm aiming to make an extremely smart AI

Which I can then base any future stuff I wanna do on

[viral holly]

toothless enemy

[devout wren]

Jim

[viral holly]

Swag

https://tenor.com/view/swag-weird-random-gif-21274284

[restive ivy]

It's now in a basic working state, all that's left is to do the model, animations, sounds and the misc stuff for its behaviours

[jagged python]

whazzat

[twin kiln]

Weird bug i have been getting, where all the abandoned items are replaced with standard green flashlights (with no value)
Everything is enabled in this mod's config
And in the LLL config, they are inside the list with the correct name

[twin kiln]

Just tested with experimentation, i removed all other loot so its just the abandoned stuff

i will try cloning to a new profile and uninstalling + reinstalling this mod and see if that fixes it

[twin kiln]

tried uninstalling and wiping config, same issue

[twin kiln]

Nothing in my log about it. You can see when i try to scan for items, the only things that show up and spawn are cats lmao
I disabled GeneralImprovements and ReservedFlashlightSlot in case they messed with the Flashlight class or something, same issue

Yet when i go in, there is flashlights around

My pack's code:
018e5f52-c5b3-7997-a8a9-4e308d317f32

i tried again with LECore disabled, same thing
Also just found a default walkie, so it seems to be all the items

[little spindle]

Oh dang this isn't DetailedScan?

Guess I can just look at your profile later

[jaunty parrot]

this is terminalformatter https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/mrov/TerminalFormatter/ #1213797469192855553

[restive ivy]

Uhhh wtf

None of my items use the default scripts of their counterparts

So that’s extremely weird

And frankly, shouldn’t be possible

Since their prefab references are custom

[little spindle]

Ah it gave me launching errors when I first used it. So I can inferred it's not worth the hassle.

[little spindle]

Are you using some mod like spawnableitems or remnants? They might be using a name identifying logic for picking the codes for the items they spawn from your item list.

[jaunty parrot]

never did to me personally

[jaunty parrot]

abandoned TZP 👀

[storm shell]

very trustworthy

[restive ivy]

definitely eat floor drugs

[storm shell]

5 seconds of this and you'll start seeing the ghost girl

[cunning turret]

Actually

That would be a great idea

[restive ivy]

I was thinking the same lol

I wonder if I could do that

[cunning turret]

If you decide to use the Abandoned TZP it maximizes your insanity level and you become haunted

[restive ivy]

like always, as a chance :^]

[cunning turret]

The other chance is it kills you

LOL

Look how dirty it is, ain't no way it's safe

😂

[restive ivy]

Also gunna be fixing a couple bugs with this update

[cunning turret]

Yay

Is the update coming today? ;o

[cunning turret]

Btw you should add config options for setting the spawn chances for each scrap, I feel like I've only ever really been running into normal abandoned flashlights with the current update and like none of the other scraps 😂

[restive ivy]

I spose I could add some spawn chance config

[cunning turret]

Yeah I think it'd be worth it ^^ that way we can set the probability each scrap has of spawning lol

[storm shell]

oh yeah little idea for an abandoned flashlight malfunction: when you turn it on it immediately sparks and flashbangs you before becoming useless

[restive ivy]

There's actually something like that already

[cunning turret]

a battery powered device sparking seems a bit odd though, I could see turning it on and having the light blow out make sense though

[cunning turret]

Ooh

[storm shell]

goodness

[restive ivy]

There's a bunch of malfunctions

[storm shell]

also, are the glowsticks and emergency flares purchasable? doesn't mention on mod page

[restive ivy]

Yep!

[storm shell]

cool

[restive ivy]

I should actually make that obvious

Glowsticks and emergency flares also don't spawn in the dungeon

But I should probably make at least flares spawn in there

Can't wait to release the [DRUG UPDATE]

[storm shell]

abandoned glowsticks in unique colors

[restive ivy]

real

I was considering making the colour randomized on spawn

Bruh, the script for the flashlight and candle is the same length as my new AI's script

[jagged python]

Glowsticks being a random color like spray paint would be fun

[twin kiln]

I dunno
But yeah
If i remove all scrap from a pool and just add yours, they don't spawn
I can try removing your mod and doing the same and seeing if it still spawns default flashlights, could be a coincidence

[restive ivy]

Yeah, idk if that's anything to do with me, that's a very strange issue

I don't touch anything to do with the spawning methods or anything like that, and the only way my mod is related to the flashlights is by using the flashlight script as a base

other than that, they have no relation at all

[twin kiln]

Whelp, there isnt much i can do if your scraps dont spawn
The only thing i can think of is that LLL has an issue with the moons, where if the name is too similar (Celest and Celestria), it applies changes from one to the other
If something similar is happening with the names of the items then that could be it

[dusk hearth]

send your mod list and logs

[twin kiln]

^

rn i will remove all loot from the pool, and i'll see if default flashlights still spawn
On another moon, just for fun with my friends, i did the same thing so only cats would spawn, and we didnt get any default flashlights spawning. But its a modded moon so i will test on exp just to be sure.
But i am pretty sure, its whenever this mod's items try to spawn, its replaced with default flashlights and walkies.

[latent flower]

ah an employees used heroin needle

[twin kiln]

Not that i know of

[twin kiln]

Tho, dont update the mods
Or if you do, add LobbyCompatitiblity
Mirage + LobbyControl broke with their update since i posted that code

[twin kiln]

Yeah. I cant make it any more clear than that. When set to Large axle, it spawns large axles, no default flashlights anywhere.
When set to your Abandoned Flashlights, it spawns default flashlights. Even when set to Abandoned Pro-Flashlights, it spawns default ones.

018e6256-f502-d213-00d0-fd6ac101ba86

[cunning turret]

@restive ivy I wonder if this might relate to me only seeing normal Abandoned Flashlights with the current update, I haven't seen an Abandoned Pro-Flashlight once lol

[twin kiln]

At least you get abandoned ones lol
