[Ported] Giant Specimens

[austere niche]

mhmm, think so too

[calm widget]

...have you?

[dim hull]

Er, well

It's really not a matter of who's done what, surely

[calm widget]

Interesting

[calm widget]

he be chasin

[dim hull]

oh lawd he comin'

[thorn sage]

the real giants have arrived

[mortal moss]

yeah he looks pretty weird in comparison to the vanilla giant

[calm widget]

Looks fine to me

[mortal moss]

lacks the texture detail of the vanilla one

doesn't actually look like a tree

[dim hull]

the crunchy crispies

the LC cronch

[calm widget]

Damn, if only there was a good 3d modeller out here willing to spend hours to fix it

Oh well

Anyway

It can move around, wander, look pretty, chase giants, eat giants

I think I'm 70%

I'm just missing a tiny bit of animation, putting in sounds and finally more behaviour stuff

[dim hull]

I mean luckily editing textures is a lot easier to go back and fix later than animations and the model itself

[ebon thistle]

pretty sure it's just cuz she's not hunched over like the basic giant so she's pretty nicely lit

[ebon thistle]

good job goat ❤️

[coarse hatch]

did you just assume that elderich creatures gender?

lmao

[calm widget]

Its lore now

Female giants only

[ebon thistle]

LMAO yeah mb

i headcanon that fucking thing to be female

i will it into existence

[coarse hatch]

same lmao

will it actually devour giants

[calm widget]

Animations are almost all done, he can now grab the forest giant and eat him

I just need to fine tune the animation, improve general AI and add the sounds created by the lovely LR team (moroxide and pixel man)

[indigo hamlet]

mod near releasing?

[calm widget]

Probably? No promises tho since I might not have free time

[broken forge]

woah

those look insane

[broken forge]

but mabye make his texture look more woody and less clay-y

[indigo hamlet]

would like to see it actually forest like, no pressure though. in most scenarios we wont be able to see it in fullbright

so its just gonna look like a tall shadow

[coarse hatch]

i like it better than that

its new and unique

weve only seen the red one too

[indigo hamlet]

i really wanna see the desert one

[coarse hatch]

same

cactus one looks dope

[indigo hamlet]

i reckon it wowuld be for assurance and offense only

would work GREAT for desert modded moons

just burrows into the ground leaving just a cactus

and if you sprint or walk nearby it he stands up

like he hidin

but you can also just crouch to walk on top of him

and just upset him and have a trusty steed LOL

[indigo hamlet]

[both jokes right there]

i mean you should be able to crouch walk over him

so hes not just a "if you go this way youre screwed"

and ig he shouldnt be able to be eaten cuz he got cacti

[coarse hatch]

even a tortoise can eat cacti though. so like...idk

[indigo hamlet]

well

[coarse hatch]

depends on the cacti

[indigo hamlet]

it does

and it depends on the big giant

cuz if he wood he might be able to just\

yummy

[quaint sail]

There can always be mods of mods, people retexturing

[astral lichen]

Hey. You're cool and I love this mod concept (even though giants terrify me).

Uhhhh I can't fulfill the mod ideas part since I've no clue where this mod is going, maybe a giant that's shorter than the basic version? Some short tree species.

[calm widget]

not good enough

banned

[dim hull]

Oh wow he really did get banned

[wheat folio]

Huh

[calm widget]

he didnt smh

he took off his own roles :p

[astral lichen]

I never had any roles? I'm not good enough to have any

[calm widget]

that then

lol

[rocky sparrow]

Yeah I think the material might be too "soft", also might need a bit more texture details

[ebon thistle]

ahh that's the word

im p sure what makes most creatures look good in lc is the material

[scarlet minnow]

Looks sick

If u need help woth sounds btw I can help.

[calm widget]

I'll make u soft

[rocky sparrow]

owo

[calm widget]

Um

Revising what I just wrote

I will not make you soft

[calm widget]

my other mod, #1212428282931322922 is mostly completed, it is currently being uploaded to thunderstore ^^

[coarse hatch]

cool! im excited for this one

ill check out that otherone

[scarlet minnow]

My voice. I've got the talent of a God for making sounds.

Plus when doing this mod I definitely wanna say to my friends "that's me! I made those sounds!"

[calm widget]

Honestly I just gotta add the sounds I already have as footsteps and I could probably release it

my VSCode broke and I didnt wanna spend an hour or two fixing it which is why it wasnt ready last week

[dim hull]

He is unhappy

[calm widget]

I give up with rotations tbh, he'll just be grabbing the keeper how he sees him

ill upload the enemy now, I'll do bug fixes/other stuff later

[thorn sage]

yay release time? 👀

@low girder LR giant specimens when

[calm widget]

no sound yet, because im in a big hurry

but I'll be updating it either tonight or tmrw morning

[silk zodiac]

that seems freeky

[calm widget]

Known Issues:

• Bestiary entry is not what it should be (3d thing).
• I just need to do AI and a couple more animations
• Spawning earticles, eating particles, walking particles

[calm widget]

it's being released, prolly will be in 40 minutes

[thorn sage]

ayy grats on the release 🔥

[calm widget]

thanks

just rereleased it actually since the manifest was wrong

lol

[RELEASED] TheGiantSpecimens

From what I know, the spawn weight is fking high, so, have fun with that, it'll be atleast another 5 hours before I get the chance to fix it

Also do tell when u see it in thunderstore

Lol

[winged parcel]

new entity for released entities list, big day

[uneven quartz]

I see it in thunderstore

[calm widget]

Don't expect much, it's not as I'd like to be rn, very experimental, released for feedback at best lol

[calm widget]

You sure? That was quick

[calm widget]

Oh I think the website updates properly, but the mod managers take a while

Though there is a download

[minor nymph]

^

dis mf doesn't post a link

https://tenor.com/view/nelson-simpsons-laugh-gif-11243649

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/XuXiaolan/TheGiantSpecimens/

i am speed

[calm widget]

Lol

I cant tell, is it out or not 😭

[minor nymph]

now everyone can find your mod (and see u didn't post a link)

[uneven quartz]

You do it for free

[calm widget]

Yeah yeah I needed the great sconey to do it

[minor nymph]

Your mod isn't out yet

If you press install on the page, it'll give you an error if it's not out

[calm widget]

Ty

[wise briar]

no assetbundle?!!!

[thorn sage]

1 like per download

[wise briar]

no assetbundle

[calm widget]

:p no idea what that means

Fk did I do it wrong

Lmao

Bad tutorial @rocky sparrow (I'm kidding I'm just stupid)

[rocky sparrow]

bruh did you not upload the asset bundle?

what is in the zip?

[calm widget]

I've never even heard I had to 😭

Just what piggy sent

[rocky sparrow]

💀

[calm widget]

The dll, manifest, icon and readme

The modasset is the assetbundle?

[rocky sparrow]

What do you think the asset bundle is for? 💀 💀 💀

[rocky sparrow]

yeah

[calm widget]

Idfk I don't even know what an asset bundle is

Bad tutorial (/s)

[rocky sparrow]

ok so, it contains all the unity stuff lol

like, the enemy

[winged parcel]

dll has your code, assetbundle has your art to super simplify (half correct at most)

[calm widget]

I cant touch anything with the mod for another 32 minutes atleast lol

[silk zodiac]

wat? why

[calm widget]

That's quite the whoopsie

[wise briar]

sad but ok

[calm widget]

Just N/A to the pc

[rocky sparrow]

lol

[silk zodiac]

Oh

[calm widget]

Someone's playing helldivers 2

[thorn sage]

broken link 😢

[calm widget]

Oh no that's on purpose

I'll make the git public probably later

[thorn sage]

o

[calm widget]

But its meant to be private until I can sort some stuff out

[ebon thistle]

NO WAYY ITS OUT!!! NO WAY NO WAY

[calm widget]

Its not yet

Will be another hour

Since I uploaded it wrong :p

[ebon thistle]

still still

fucking pumped rn

[calm widget]

Plus there's still a lot missing like sounds

[ebon thistle]

minor setback 🔥

[calm widget]

I uploaded it like this so I stop procrastinating and want to actually work on it lol

[ebon thistle]

i can wait 🔥

that's a pretty good idea to get you going tbh

but yeah as i said i'm just glad to know its still being worked on and that it'll eventually be in my grubby little hands

[calm widget]

Lol

There's not much more that needs to be added for this specific guy

If you check pins I listed the known bugs

Or well, issues

[chilly field]

unable to load the mod "minor inconvenience"

[calm widget]

Not minor inconvenience, just a minor setback

Which is true,I just need to respond it

Reupload*

[ebon thistle]

nothing will stop me from getting the "get eaten by the red giant" speedrun wr

[dim roost]

now the important question

what moons will they be on

[calm widget]

I've never worked with lethal lib so I have no idea how their spawning works right now, it's probably every moon

And a pretty damn high spawn rate

[dim roost]

oh dear...

[chilly field]

now we need a redwood moon to go with the red giant

wait tbf a redwood moon would be kinda sick now that i think of it

holy crap do i wanna see that now

[calm widget]

I'm sure someone's made a blood red moon

Orions close

Idk how solace looks

[dim roost]

solace is basically a lakeside mansion

[ebon thistle]

oh my GOD no

orion with these motherfuckers in there

[chilly field]

redwood moon would complete the 3 moons of each biome trope as well

[dim roost]

wouldnt mind seeing on Infernis, but Wes is quite particular with what spawns on his moons

[low girder]

What do you mean, we already did the audio for the footsteps for Xu😭😭😭

[thorn sage]

oh LOL

[low girder]

Also, excited that it’s released!/releasing

[calm widget]

Alright its being updated now

[candid dune]

I hope red giant walks with womp womp sound

[calm widget]

No sounds right now, probably next update

[low girder]

https://tenor.com/view/disintegrate-gif-22469816

[mental canopy]

1% chance for among us imposter to spawn in the woods please

[calm widget]

Also I put the spawn weight to 50

Should be more normal

[marsh nymph]

Does FairGiants mod work with this?

[thorn sage]

probably not, vanilla giants are a completely different entity

[kind berry]

yeah

works only for vanilla giants

[marsh nymph]

👍 ty

[calm widget]

You wouldn't need that mod anyway

[marsh nymph]

wym

[calm widget]

The Giant I made has different mechanics

[marsh nymph]

yeah i was jsut makin sure

[upper cloud]

That do be spicy to hear

[calm widget]

Anyway I think it works now?

@wise briar idk if you're still here but I hope it's all good

Not 100% sure if it updated yet

[wise briar]

it working fine 👍

[calm widget]

Phew

[ebon thistle]

soon as i am unchained from my study i shall become the man to be devoured the fastest by this beast

and i will do so WITH ALL OF THEM

[calm widget]

It'll be pretty tough to get eaten by this guy

But good luck

[ebon thistle]

not if i purchase a jetpack and fly straight into her mouth

should work, right?

[calm widget]

Would you eat a fly if it flew into your mouth?

[ebon thistle]

if the fly's name was tln and as handsome as me yeah

||totally didn't forget that this giant's whole thing is that it doesn't bother with employees usually||

[thin edge]

as of now, waht do they do

are they bosses

[kind berry]

|| Basically they don't attack you but eat giants but will accidentally step on you due to their size and not caring for you in terms of food- ||

[thin edge]

oh alr

[empty bay]

Tall big, legs big long, eat tree

[barren garden]

Someone kind to spoil me what do the different giants do, please?

[empty bay]

The msg Mickmick108 sent explains what the currently released one does, the others are still under development

[barren garden]

Oh sorry then, I thought there were more types already

[unkempt locust]

big fan of this mod

[empty bay]

||So happy to know that if you're currently being eaten by a ForestKeeper, and the RedWood Giant begins eating it, you will be saved||

[ebon thistle]

awe man

||i wanted to be double eaten||

[empty bay]

Either way is cool imo

[ebon thistle]

GIANT SPOTTED

[thin edge]

i dont want to be rude, but it seems like there still is a lot needed for the giant, so I think putting it a beta in the title would be nice. So people arent expecting a full release

[ebon thistle]

oh yeah, xu just posted it to force themselves to work on it

also, not hearing any of the sound effects for the giant (unless the only one thats added is the eating one)

[ebon thistle]

ok im mad LMAO

BROO I WAS INSIDE THE SHIP AND IT WAS LEAVING DUE TO TIME AND THE GIANT JUST CLIPPED THROUGH WHILE WE WERE TAKING OFF AND IT INSTA KILLED ME

wait that means i technically got eaten cuz i clashed w the mouth hitbox

I DID IT

I GOT EATEN BY PINK GIANT

https://tenor.com/view/toonlink-link-triforceheroes-cheer-gif-8044861

[mental canopy]

i never seen someone so excited to get vored

[ebon thistle]

ok you made it weird

[mental canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/взгляд-2000-ярдов-война-war-soldier-gif-3632617944134077161

[dim hull]

should probably be something to prevent the red giants from standing in the way of the ship's flight path lmao

[mental canopy]

honestly

eatin the ship is a feature

not a bug

obviously

company got too many osha violations allready

wouldent be suprized

[ebon thistle]

heyyy

walking thru rock

[dim hull]

just dive on in, silly

[ebon thistle]

will keep in mind for next encounter}

[ebon thistle]

after playing i feel like there shouldnt just be a giant deathbox near its body lmao

or atleast not near the tippy top

maybe near the legs or the feet and mouth

[calm widget]

Yeah easily fixable, just gotta play with its hitbox

It's big rn cuz of smthn stupid

[ebon thistle]

makes sense

yeah I'd just want the deathboxes to maybe be closer to its actual body, you don't have to restrict them to only the mouth etc etc

[calm widget]

Ah nah the hit box is thr whole body rn

I could probably just get rid of it tho

[dim hull]

I think what would be cool is like

if there was a way to check when it steps

and then make a lil damage shockwave around the foot, instant kill if you're under

but that might be hard and technical

[ebon thistle]

maybe

[calm widget]

That's just a collider with a bigger collider around it

I could do that

[ebon thistle]

cuz it does seem to clip through rock structures sometimes and the ship etc etc

(which does happen to most enemies tbh)

so maybe a way to prevent it would be just reducing the hitbox size or where it is

[ebon thistle]

ahh yeah yeah

that's a good idea

(also don't know if I'm being too negative, i love the mod xu I'm very happy to actually be able to play it )

[calm widget]

Nah you're good

I know how to do most of what you're asking

Feet hitbox shockwave,
Fix hitbox size,
Add sounds.
I'll try to do those today

[calm widget]

Reason this was a thing, trying to make the forest giant look at the pink giant while it's being eaten is stupidly difficult, not sure why my current method isn't working rn tbh

[calm widget]

Fixing this comes with its huge downside, so I purposefully left it like this

The guy is already massive, but if his body wasn't allowed to go through crevices like that

Then he'd go literally nowhere

[ebon thistle]

nah yeah I don't mind it clipping mostly

[ebon thistle]

good luck soldier!

[calm widget]

As soon as I figure out how to specify colliders I'll be able to upload a new version lol

[warped surge]

could you change the asset bundle name so it wouldnt conflict with a good bunch of other enemy mods?

[mortal moss]

yeah that asset bundle name looks very prone to conflicts

[calm widget]

Sure, it was the default so I never had any part in naming it :p

[gusty talon]

playing with this mod kinda makes me want to restrict redwood keepers to only big flat moons

like offense

it floating on 3x3m area spinning in place on experemental is kinda goofy

and it being a giant killbox between the exit and the ship doesnt help

[ebon thistle]

yeah offense is the best for redwoods

[gusty talon]

also, any plans for smaller-than-basic keepers?

[calm widget]

Same size yeah, smaller? Unsure

[gusty talon]

like tall but thin white birch tree variants

[calm widget]

nothing like that planned so far

[valid oar]

uhhhh

[calm widget]

Let my man be free

[mortal moss]

a config would be nice

[calm widget]

...what would the config do

[mortal moss]

change spawn weights n stuff

[coral tapir]

question. do they have spawn weights on modded moons?

[calm widget]

no idea

[ebon thistle]

from checking the ac spawn configs on solace and the rest of starlancer's it doesnt seem like they d

do*

by default it says the giant's a 50 on all moons

[calm widget]

so they do spawn or dont spawn on modded moons?

okay so, lots of changes, I've made my own collision script so that collisions arent a problem

if your ship happens to fly to under his feet and you die, not my fault

[ebon thistle]

i havent tried it cuz i uninstalled starlancer and other modded moons to play w this

but ac said the spawn weights were 0 across the board for "pink giant"

and then for vanilla moons it said 50 across the board

[calm widget]

I'm not sure how I'd use lethal lib to add weight for modded moons 😦

[ebon thistle]

it might just say there's no chances for them in modded moons

i'll try a fresh profile today if i can and tell you

[calm widget]

Great

My next update should be adding sound, I can probably do it today honestly

But im not 100% sure how to play audio clips through code

[toxic talon]

Is this mod just a reskin of the forest keeper? Or is it a different type of enemy with a different intelligence?

[calm widget]

different type of enemy with different intelligence

[toxic talon]

Oh, that's cool.

[lament relic]

What do they sound like?

[thorn sage]

take a look at the AudioSource component

[calm widget]

I am, it's working now but my problem is that when its sprinting, it needs to run the audio clip like 4 times more in teh same amount of time

[thorn sage]

couldn't u do PlayOneShot instead and just call it more often

[calm widget]

Maybe i just dont get how PlayOneShot works, right now im doing this

and I have creatureVoice set to loop

though I dont think its actually set to loop

so this solution isnt working well

[thorn sage]

loop works on playoneshot? if you want it to play back to back after it ends, maybe try setting the audio source's audio clip, and then use Play() instead

idk if thatll work but it's worth trying

[calm widget]

ugh no I think my problem is just forgetting to asset bundle

i completely forgot about that

[thorn sage]

oh is it missing the sounds completely LOL

[calm widget]

nah, I've just been testing with loops and that

and was wondering why nothing was changing

okay yeah loop doesnt sound like it works on play one shot lol

[calm widget]

I'll try working out audio tmrw

[ebon thistle]

doing great xu!!

[dim roost]

https://i.gyazo.com/48665bb7a3c8d16b8918e76a0d20f98a.png sweet lord... this thing is a HUGE help on certain custom moons

[pliant vault]

He kinda thicc ngl

[feral cipher]

This mod is great! keep up the great work!

[zenith knoll]

Ayyy this looks great!

[ebon thistle]

just tested flying into the pink giant's mouth with a jetpack and i went right through her

maybe if there's no deathbox around the whole body you could still add colission to it

[calm widget]

Yeah I'm not sure why that is

Like

There is a hitbox there

For the forest keeper

And it is considered a rigid body

[ebon thistle]

jetpacks are kinda goofy though so it's whatever lmao

[calm widget]

Thanks! That means a lot to me

[calm widget]

[1.0.2] TheGiantSpecimens

[dim roost]

dunno if this has been brought up (and im kinda lazy to scroll forever), but maybe have the default giant go into its stun animation as it's being lifted by the Redwood?

[hallow crow]

ooh

[sleek plinth]

Any known issues with other mods?

[narrow tide]

Any chance to make these things have a chance to spawn outside? (Like a config for it)

[calm widget]

could try that

[calm widget]

not afaik

[calm widget]

wdym spawn outside

[dim roost]

just feel itd look a little more natural

[calm widget]

right now im doing sounds, almost finished

[dim roost]

tyt

[narrow tide]

Like spawn chances for outside.

[calm widget]

you mean you want a config for the chance?

[sleek plinth]

Gotcha, a fine addition to my collection >:)

[calm widget]

cuz its already got a set chance

[narrow tide]

Is there a config file for it? To at least change it.

[calm widget]

nope, you'll have to use an auxillary mod to change it, i havent touched config stuff yet

currently adding sound

which should be done reallyl soon

[calm widget]

update is being released

with good timing, cuz i gtg

but this is the audio update

currently only footstep audio

made by @bleak shale and @low girder!

[AUDIO UPDATE] TheGiantSpecimens

Audio only took 3 hours, and I probably did it in a weird way, @young crystal probably should've done it through animations considering that probably syncs it up easily

meanwhile I used an IEnumerator and a sync function with manual time inputs to sync the footstep sounds LOL

[young crystal]

Good work though have a good rest of your night!

[calm widget]

my dad is just about to start 😂

atleast its friday

[low girder]

ayee glad to hear it got added!

[forest mulch]

search up "Animation Functions" they are peak 🙏

or animation events i dont remember the exact name

[young crystal]

Yeah that's what I recommended

[forest mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/boykisser-you-like-kissing-boys-don't-you-cat-lowpoly-3d-gif-9960745507421464646

[calm widget]

:p

[terse pollen]

awesome mod idea, will try this in my next game

[brave arch]

encountered the big fella with the newest update and it seems that you can only hear its stomps when you're close to it

[calm widget]

Yeah I'm not 100% sure how to make the footsteps like the forest giants

[brave arch]

other than that you nailed the sound syncing with the footsteps

[calm widget]

Thanks!

[calm widget]

@forest mulch would u know?

[forest mulch]

reverb?

[warm ferry]

Really like what you have going on with this mod! 😄

[calm widget]

I have reverb turned on for creatureVoice, which is what I use for playOneShot, but it's still not hearable from far away

[calm widget]

Thanks, I appreciate that ^^

[warm ferry]

If I can just give one suggestion, maybe each footstep it takes causes a camera shake to near by player? I know there's already a built in function to make the camera shake but I'm not sure about how you could go about causing it to all near by players 😅

[calm widget]

I could just check for all players in x range shake everytime the sound plays

[warm ferry]

Ooo Yea that could work

[thorn sage]

i can't wait for this to show up on viperian's channel

[calm widget]

Nah mod ain't popular enough for that

I'm still waiting for someone here to witness the giant execution

Or atleast get saved by the pink giant

Also for the audio distance, I'm reading something about linear roll off

[hardy yacht]

Viperian I’m sure still looks at anything that might catch his eye

Aka a new enemy or variation

[gusty talon]

Have you considered extending redwoods legs under the floor?

So that even if it's on uneven surface it doesn't float

Like it's legs are rooted deep within the ground

[calm widget]

It's already a bit underground but I'll push it further just incase

[low girder]

50 meters later

[thorn sage]

for now since u just released it, give it some time

u already have like 2k after like what, 2 days of launch

that's pretty damn good

[calm widget]

If its not a milly by tmrw, I dun want it

[thorn sage]

mood

[minor nymph]

this is something you should definitely do xu

that or just have a ray shape check to see if any players are within a range

trust me, audio design + feedback is really heccin important

[mortal moss]

maybe you could also try making the feet a bit rounded

[ebon thistle]

good job xu!!! great stufff

[calm widget]

I'll just do the range function lol, idk much about the unity stuff

I think I figured out the sound stuff to

Too*

Just had to change the 3d sound settings

It's logarithmic too so should be smoother

Screen shake function itself might be harder than I thought

I'll figure it out when I'm home ig

Ma boy is so loud you can hear it inside the facility

I love it

Pushing out an update now with better sounds

And no u can't hear him from inside the facility sadly, that's just too loyd

[AUDIO UPDATE*] TheGiantSpecimens

[safe maple]

screen shake - suggestion

[calm widget]

It'll be done probably this weekend or today

[safe maple]

great

[ebon thistle]

YESS i just tried the new audio

can be heard from pretty far away

so happy with this right now, you da goat xu

this goes HARD

the giant was pretty far away yet i could still hear the giant foot steps

10/10

honestly the textures a lot less jarring ingame, i really do not mind them

[warped surge]

is there no config for this mod?

[calm widget]

Spawn rate config, is that all people want for configs?

[safe maple]

how does the pink giant eat forest giants? I've never seen it do it

[ebon thistle]

maybe foot step volume?

that's literally the only other thing i can think of to config

[calm widget]

Bring a forest keeper to a pink giant and if its close enough it'll chase it

You might just in the background hear the footsteps really fast all of a sudden

[safe maple]

I spawned in many and it never happened

[calm widget]

Uhh next time it happens, can you try recording it?

[empty bay]

Would there be some way to only have the RedWood Giant spawn after a Forest Keeper has already spawned? There's a couple moons that have a super low chance of a Forest Keeper spawning, so there's a high likelihood of a RedWood Giant being around than Forest Keepers

[calm widget]

Honestly this is all out of my powers but I can try and learn lol

[empty bay]

Entirely fair, I'm not pushing you to add anything, just implanting the idea. Take all the time and features you want

[calm widget]

Imma add a screen shake and a squishing sound for today (thats the goal)

I'll also record a forest giant being eaten so pixel and moroxide can working on an eating sound if they want

[low girder]

👀

[low girder]

But what if I want to make him smol?

[bleak shale]

Or bigger :]

[calm widget]

I'm gonna try with my dev tools, I suspect yours breaks something with its colliders

[safe maple]

alright

also when I spawned multiple pink giants they all play the stomping sounds simultaneously

[calm widget]

Like multiple at the same time?

It would make sense to have the stomping sounds be at the same time if they're doing the exact same animations

[safe maple]

they shouldn't be in sync

unless the animations are in sync which they don't look to be

[calm widget]

I cant see a reason why spawning multiple at the exact same second would change what animations are playing

The AI is pretty simple

[safe maple]

alright I will try spawning them separately

[calm widget]

Eating worked for me

I just tested it

[safe maple]

interesting

do they go after forest giants if they're chasing a player?

[calm widget]

They don't chase players

[safe maple]

the forest giants-

[calm widget]

Ah

They chase forest keepers when they see em

They're not here to protect players specifically

[safe maple]

I see. So should they have chased the forest giants in the video?

[zenith knoll]

OMG I HADN’T REALIZED HOW BIG THE RED ONE WAS OMG

Also I have a question about this mod

Will they have eating animations like the default forest giant does?

Like they pick you up and stuff?

[wise briar]

they dont eat players

they eat forest giants

[zenith knoll]

No way

Do they!?

They eat each other!? Bruuuuh

[wise briar]

yea

[low girder]

I need video evidence @calm widget

[zenith knoll]

Yeah me too

[wise briar]

here’s a very bad image I have where you can only barely see the forest giant

[ebon thistle]

on it

[ebon thistle]

oo

neato

[zenith knoll]

OMG IT DOES PICK IT UP AND EAT IT

YOOOO

THATS CRAZY

So the Redwood Giant is friendly towards players?

[low girder]

yes?

But also no

Ie. If I’m on my way to the fridge for a bagel and I step on an ant, I’m not unfriendly towards them per se, but I did kill them nonetheless

[wise briar]

they just dont care about you

[zenith knoll]

So real

Im so including this mod in my modpack

[calm widget]

yes

[calm widget]

yeah exactly

[zenith knoll]

Dude

Xu you did so awesome

On this mod

Are you kidding me

Bro this mod is on a level I never thought I’d even think of

[low girder]

Fr, give some of the rest of the mods some room to shine smh @calm widget

[safe maple]

Ok it's probably a mod incompatibility on my end. I'll see if I can figure it out

[zenith knoll]

Im complimenting Xu what are you doin

[calm widget]

https://tenor.com/view/praying-cat-please-thank-you-thanks-gif-16119732

[calm widget]

lethal resonance downloads going down right now

[zenith knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-wink-gotcha-you-tube-thanks-gif-14813725

[low girder]

Just trying to make sure us small mods get some visibility 🙏🏻

[zenith knoll]

Now is there a mod that adds a monster that can kill eyeless dogs

[zenith knoll]

New monsters’ll do the trick

The more monsters the merrier

Thats my motto

[calm widget]

I considered adding an animation whwere it just picks up the dog with one hand and eats it

[zenith knoll]

Yes

This

[low girder]

This would be sick

[zenith knoll]

Right there

[calm widget]

much later on/would be another enemy that does this

my only problem is the pink giant making outside too easy

so i'd have to introduce some stuff to scale difficulty

[zenith knoll]

Well I mean im pretty sure stepping on you on accident like people stepping on a lego brick would make it pretty difficult

Wait I got an idea!

May I pitch it?

[calm widget]

of course

[zenith knoll]

Awesome!

[low girder]

Make them throw the dogs if they get too close

[calm widget]

I may not like it or add it, but ideas are welcome

[zenith knoll]

What if the Redwood Giant had a percentage chance(would be configurable) that it could fall over

[calm widget]

lol, throwing would unfortunately cause a lot of problems, the pink giant is kind of like a colossal titan in some ways

but reminds me of beast titan with your idea

[calm widget]

I had that idea too, something like the rod reiss titan if you ever watched AoT

[low girder]

Sad, I would love to make someto sharknado eyeless dog content

[zenith knoll]

Never have unfortunately

[calm widget]

problem is that things like that could get really finnicky with colliders

https://tenor.com/view/attack-on-titan-aot-crawl-gif-14785445

basically in AoT there was this humoungous titan

one of the biggest

it climbed the wall and it crashing down was basically what u described

[zenith knoll]

This would in turn make it difficult for players to escape the redwood giant’s fall

[zenith knoll]

Woah

[low girder]

It’s like a big hot pocket with arms

[zenith knoll]

Oh did I forget to mention it would make for some hilarious clips 👀

[low girder]

I like this idea

[calm widget]

lol, it would be some nice clips, but its just probably impossible?

[zenith knoll]

Imagine you’re bringing the apprautus back while the facility is melting down, chaos ensuing, monsters escaping outside and suddenly a fucking Redwood Giant falls on you while ur escaping a Jester

[calm widget]

I'd have to make it in such a way that deactivates a collider UNTIL he starts a falling animation

which isnt impossible for people familiar with unity, but i am simply not

also the animation to make the giant get back up would probably take me ages 💀

[zenith knoll]

So with the Redwood Giant being able to eat other giants, whats the plans for the other two?

[low girder]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-west-ascension-kanye-west-ascents-ascension-to-heaven-leviathe-gif-22751496

There’s your animation

[calm widget]

no idea yet, still working on this one for now

[zenith knoll]

I see 🤔

[calm widget]

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-gif-26454802

[wise briar]

you could give it a hunger meter, and it’ll only eat certain things at certain hunger levels

[calm widget]

ehh maybe

[low girder]

Make it stand in front of entrances to attract giants since it knows giants like us as food?

[calm widget]

no idea what that means

but also like

hmm i get what u mean ig

[low girder]

🐁🪤

[calm widget]

but it'd be difficult to entice them towards a spot

especially cuz maps can be custom

[low girder]

True

That’s it, make them go inside the facility

[subtle gale]

just realized this mod was released while scrolling through thunderstore, very excited to try it out!

[calm widget]

^^ have fun

[zenith knoll]

Omg wait

I just realized something fucking hilarious

Using ControlCompany to control a Redwood Giant

[calm widget]

lol I wonder how possible that even is

I thought about it days ago

idk how control company works so prolly not gonna happen

[dim hull]

Baboon hawks already do this

[zenith knoll]

Wait since when?

[dim hull]

Always

[zenith knoll]

I never knew this

[ebon thistle]

they gotta gang up on it though

[dim hull]

Baboon hawks get scared when they're being stared down
Dogs can't stare

[ebon thistle]

like, im pretty sure they have to be a pretty sizeable pack to take on one

[zenith knoll]

Ooooohhh

[dim hull]

Also yeah 1 dog vs 1 hawk, dog wins

[ebon thistle]

tbh baboon hawks have so many mechanics most people dont know about

like them taking scrap from time to time

[zenith knoll]

I knew that one sorta

[ebon thistle]

or having nests that (according to the miraheze wiki) have shiny rocks that indicate their position

[zenith knoll]

Ooooooooh

Baboon Hawks seem to be very intelligent creatures

Like Hoarding Bugs

[ebon thistle]

or the fact that screaming at them actually makes them go away (clueless)

[zenith knoll]

Lul

[dim hull]

Which SHOULD be the case, I should be able to air horn a hawk

[bleak shale]

I'd opt for a purchaseable Mine Item, you place it and if a creature or a player steps on it, it explodes.
Would help a lot on Eyeless Dogs or Masked players

[zenith knoll]

Wait wait Mine Item!?

[ebon thistle]

i KNOW right

[calm widget]

camera shaking

has been added

[zenith knoll]

Which mod is this

[ebon thistle]

thats why i convince myself that it actually works

[dim hull]

I mean you can beat dogs to death already

[ebon thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/toonlink-link-triforceheroes-cheer-gif-8044861

[dim hull]

Flash out and shovel down

[bleak shale]

there's none

[zenith knoll]

ModLink plz

[calm widget]

i just gotta adjust numbers

[bleak shale]

yet :]

[zenith knoll]

YET!?

OOOOO

[calm widget]

and then ill be able to make an update

[zenith knoll]

I NEED TO FOLLOW ON IT

But wait

How am I supposed to purchase landmines then

[bleak shale]

I'm not a coder, so I can't do it

[zenith knoll]

[dim hull]

New IED shop item (Intentionally Explosive Device)

[calm widget]

3 to 2 baboon hawks > dog

[dim hull]

2 hawks it's like even odds yeah but 3 hawks pretty much always win

[calm widget]

i've seen a baboon hawk solo a dog once, its probably some weird collision and the dog just wasnt dog'ing right

[zenith knoll]

Or the Baboon Hawk was built different

[pliant vault]

Man's just wasn't hungry ig

[calm widget]

😂

[ebon thistle]

good to know

imma add a 30 spawn weight number to triskelion dogs so the hawk mafia fucks em up

[calm widget]

honestly need that

[calm widget]

@hollow garnet that would make triskelion outside much better, add dogs, i completely forgot dogs and baboon hawks fight eachother

[pliant vault]

Any idea how the other giants are gonna work or somewhat the same as normal?

[calm widget]

so dogs are almost always aggro'd so you wont expect em moving around

they'll be different

[ebon thistle]

it would make for some funny encounters tbh

[calm widget]

just unsure how yet

[ebon thistle]

i would say none of them fit the exterior of triskelion

but nothing in the base game does lmao

it's a facility built around a gas giant (right?)

[calm widget]

screen wasnt shaky enough

lets see if this helps

alright, gonna check if i can change the state of the forest giant rq and if i can, ill do that, make it the stun animation, and then upload

[pliant vault]

Perhaps the right one could pretend to be a tree, or maybe if he gets vary close he would rush but when he sees you from afar a coil head

And for the cactus giant perhaps he could roll, or have a charge attack, or perhaps hide underground only leaving cactus poking up waiting for his pray

[calm widget]

those are the current basic ideas in mind yeah

not large enough for me to consider them the main mechanics

but they're probably what will be added alongside whatever else i think of

each one has their own movement characteristic too so its not just the same stable movement

[mortal moss]

that sounds like it would suck. the dogs would easily kill the hawks

[calm widget]

not really

[hollow garnet]

From a gameplay perspective that does sound fun, it just throws off the scheming

[calm widget]

usually the hawks come out on top

[calm widget]

hmm if you think so

[mortal moss]

until another dog spawns

[hollow garnet]

With the number of hawks that'd be present, dogs would go down pretty quick

[calm widget]

and another 3 hawks spawn after you kill 3

yeah

[mortal moss]

i don't think DOGSt on trisk at all anyways

[hollow garnet]

If someone wants to add dogs to the config and lemme know how it feels I'd welcome the feedback

[calm widget]

free labour i say!

[hollow garnet]

They snuck aboard supply ships and ended up roosting aboard the facilities

[calm widget]

i could never as a fellow mod developer

tbf hawks are the only "birds" that would be able to live on triskelion

huh?

[safe maple]

oops

[mortal moss]

I KEAN

MEAN

[safe maple]

lethal company was on my screen but apparently it wasn't being used until I moved

[mortal moss]

DOGS

AUGH

UI M EAN DOG

I MEAN DOGS

HOW DID I SAY HAWKS

I MEAN DOGS

AUGH

[calm widget]

please calm it down a bit

i cant wait to receive sync'ing errors about this mod too, like i've done 0 networking, no way it's synced up

but like, no one's complained yet

okay wait that stun was so good, i forgot the forest keeper screams

[mortal moss]

perhaps you should do that before someone complains

[calm widget]

theres nothing i can do without complaints lol

as far as im aware, there are 0 problems

hey handsome?

[dim roost]

"Nice place ya got here"

[mortal moss]

oh yeah does the pink giant have a spawn animation?

[placid sparrow]

how many specimens are there now

[calm widget]

@low girder @bleak shale, do imagine him a bit higher in the hands though, ill offset it

[calm widget]

nope

[calm widget]

new mod, right now only 1

[dim roost]

currently only default and redwood

[calm widget]

whoops wrong video

[placid sparrow]

ok

what does the big pink red giant

do

does it eat the ship

[calm widget]

the video probably answers your question too

[placid sparrow]

it just

dissapeared

i like it

but def needs more polishing

i wont judge because this is a new mod

[ebon thistle]

does it just pop up in the distance?

[bleak shale]

yep

[placid sparrow]

i feel like the big red giant is too big for eating humans

so im assuming it crushes the employees

correct??

[calm widget]

yeah, ill make a spawning animation probably later

[calm widget]

yeah

[placid sparrow]

interesting

truly

spawning animation is not necessary but i feel like the eating animation is

since it's the main part of the giant that stands out

[pliant vault]

Ngl hope to see lots of blood from the red giant eating normal giant in a future update

[placid sparrow]

gore mod when

[pliant vault]

Closest thing is more blood mod for players, hope to see more lol

[placid sparrow]

id love to see a dynamic gore system that works with diversity's health system

like health points for each limb

head is 35 arms are 85 and shit

[calm widget]

feel free to discuss separate mods in #modding-general please and ty 🙏

[placid sparrow]

sure

[pliant vault]

But yea think it would be Satisfying seeing the giant getting a taste of his medicine with the blood effect he does with us lol

[dim hull]

I think the eat animation needs a lil more impact

[calm widget]

it has a bit more impact now

im about to upload it

unfortuantely i couldnt figure out how to make the giant scream continuously, but he does scream for quite a while

unless y'all wanna make a scream sound for the forest keeper too @bleak shale @low girder :p

[bleak shale]

:]

[mortal moss]

(and an eating sound too probably)

[calm widget]

y-yes that too

[bleak shale]

I'm in work rn.
But I'll think on something

[calm widget]

pog ty

[bleak shale]

So...
The Redwood will eat babies

Am I correct?

[wise briar]

[calm widget]

i mean, i can see the similarity, little red riding hood's story, redwood

[bleak shale]

Isn't the Forest Keepers babies according to bestiary lore?

[calm widget]

Good question

I think they're just cannibals from a distant cousin family

its like if monkey tasted as good as cow and we ate it regularly

thats the comparison

[wise briar]

mentally yeah

[mortal moss]

scan identifies the redwood as Redwood Forestkeeper which is inconsistent with the forest keeper, which is scanned as Forest Giant

[wise briar]

I dont know if they are actual children tho

[calm widget]

Ill change it to RedWood Giant 🙄

like tmrw

or whenever i decide to update the bestiary model

which is currently the toilet

lol

[bleak shale]

I'll check the bestiary, I'll be back

[river mountain]

walked out and screamed irl

i didnt kno what they did yet 🤯

[calm widget]

oh my god, climbing the stairs too

that is amazing

[bleak shale]

It says that they are their eyes marks are present in their "youth", and we can see that thy have the marks, so I can assume they are in a youth stage

so... I can conclude

They are babies :]

[chilly field]

W lore

adult redwood giant when

[calm widget]

the redwood is definitely an adult

[chilly field]

xu you're no fun

[bleak shale]

Redwood eating babies

[calm widget]

any bigger than this and im pretty sure your game will break

[bleak shale]

good

[calm widget]

and idk what ur obsession is with eating babies

but the update is coming out, should be 20 to 40 minutes

[bleak shale]

welp, I'm editing a sound of a baby for the Redwood eating

so

[calm widget]

jesus

[bleak shale]

yeah

[calm widget]

well

good luck

if it sounds good, its not in my conscience

@minor nymph your screen shaking has been added, celebrate and sacrifice the next item you make, thanks

[GIANT CRIES UPDATE] TheGiantSpecimens

[lament relic]

This is the redwood giant, I just have a reallyyyyyyyyyyy high quality version of the game

[mortal moss]

where's this art from?

[lament relic]

This is from a marvel movie believe it or not

[calm widget]

the game on 4k

[mortal moss]

oh

huh

[lament relic]

It's called eternals for your information

[chilly field]

man do i want a moon like that

(i want everything as a moon)

[low girder]

Armin screaming sounds intensify

[pliant vault]

blood and bone crushing sounds intensifys

[mortal moss]

while testing i saw circuit bees somehow spawn without a hive??

the redwood doesn't seem to eat giants

[hollow garnet]

snapping of celery grows louder

[toxic talon]

WAIT, THEY'RE ENEMIES?

[empty bay]

Chimps eat monkeys

[dapper pivot]

What are the spawn chances of the new forest giant?

And what moons?

[calm widget]

50 weight, all mons

moons

[dapper pivot]

Modded included? or just vanilla?

[calm widget]

modded included

[dapper pivot]

Btw I tested the mod and I love it

it feels so awesome to see that towering giant just eat the regular giant

[calm widget]

;p

[toxic talon]

I like this RedWood giant and his behavior, but his animation and sounds should be improved.

[calm widget]

@low girder sound complaints, get better

in terms of animations....... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[bleak shale]

So people like the audio

good?

[calm widget]

i like the audio, but the feedback is that it should be improved

:p

[bleak shale]

I see

So better Footsteps

[toxic talon]

Personally, I find it odd when the slow footsteps of a giant create a sound almost like an explosion.

[subtle forge]

So satisfying to see a giant getting a taste of his own medicine :3

[calm widget]

I mean the sound is from his insane weight

[left drum]

boss. does this get affected by FairGiants?

[thorn sage]

it shouldnt, vanilla giants are a completely different entity

[left drum]

seems like these new giants have different interactions with the player then

[toxic talon]

Yes he's huge, but he doesn't put enough force into his moves.

[low girder]

visually?

[toxic talon]

Yes

[calm widget]

This giant doesn't really bother with players much

He's got a bigger playground

[left drum]

ohh

i can still attack it right?

@calm widget boss. tell me, there is an interaction to "pain" on those giants

[wise briar]

you’d need a bomb of some sorts to even hurt it

nothing in vanilla is hurting that beast

I think

[thorn sage]

cant we still sting them like fire ants? 🥺

[left drum]

yeah kinda like that lol

[wheat folio]

what did blud do to you 😭

[left drum]

just for interaction in case we end up near it and have no chance to run lol

i mean the normal one only interacts with flashbangs

[wheat folio]

the redwoods? I thought they were peaceful big guys. Have I missed a big update?

[wise briar]

they are peaceful still

to players atleast

[calm widget]

I dont know what you're looking to stun, his left big toe?

If I knew of a way to hurt him, I'd be the first to implement it

She's an immortal god

[left drum]

well tickle would be more appropriate word

lets not implement a god slaying weapon hahaha

i mean even ants annoy us but not exactly hurt us ahaha

[wise briar]

rip off a giants arm and start smacking the redwood giant

wont do much

[calm widget]

By the time you get close to hurt him, I'm pretty sure she'd have dealt atleast 3/5 of your health just on shockwaves

[left drum]

we going super saiyan?

[wise briar]

yea

[stark flower]

this looks sick as fuck

tho tbh, the redwood's red color is a bit too saturated - it pops out of the landscape really easily, whereas regular forest giants don't

lemme see if i can get an example of what i mean

[calm widget]

Please do yeah, specific feedback always hells

Hells

Hwlps***

I'm done

[stark flower]

it do be like dat sometimes

[silk zodiac]

missed

[left drum]

nice hells

seems like we getting more monsters

[dim roost]

cant imagine what the other 2 giants will be like.

[calm widget]

You might wanna imagine, it'll be weeks before another giant is added

Maybe months (I have final year exams soon)

[stark flower]

original v edited (ignore my dogass editing)

shifted the hue a lil more towards orange, then decreased the saturation a little but increased the contrast to compensate

looks a little more like the terrain and actual redwood trees than its current state, tho i'm not design specialist so i'm sure others can come up with something better

but redwood trees aren't blood red sooo ¯_(ツ)_/¯

i'm not fully set on that second image, but it's a little closer to what I had in mind

[pliant vault]

Unless blood stained : P

[stark flower]

Anyways, thoughts?

[placid sparrow]

what is giant cries

giants cry now

?

[forest mulch]

why are they sad. what are they crying about

[pliant vault]

I wouldn't be happy being eaten

[safe maple]

ok I just tried to get one of the pink giants to eat a forest giant - this time with only these mods

it didn't work

on March btw

[wise briar]

well

thats weird!

[ebon thistle]

i dig this a bit more

this is usually what it looks like on orion when i play with this thing on lmao

[ebon thistle]

best of luck!! focus on what's important 🫡

[coarse hatch]

ooh giant cries

let me admire this sound design

[wicked grove]

@calm widget you should probably add textures to the redforest giant since compared to the normal one it looks like it's made out of clay

[ebon thistle]

i could help with textures honestly

but i dont think it's that much of a problem that it looks like that rn, it's a lot more normal ingame

[calm widget]

Textures looking meh has been a problem for a while, I'll play around a bit with it today, but I'm no expert, no idea what to change because clay isn't real feedback, and the person I was recommended to ask ghosted me in dms so

[calm widget]

Giant crying is vanilla sound* but he now cries soo

Also I'm colourblind, don't think I'll ever have the textures just right

[ebon thistle]

i think its jsut the fact that the texture looks flat cuz of a lack of color variation

like, if you look at the forest keeper's textures they have a loot of contrast between the shades of brown (or whatever the fuck that color is)

[calm widget]

Well the forest keeper also has cracks etc to it

[ebon thistle]

i could help, but i don't really know what you're going for visually

[calm widget]

Something I definitely can't do

[ebon thistle]

i think that's just the wood texture, don't know what the rings and patterns on wood are called but it def isn't cracks

but yeah, that's my feedback

but then again i really don't think it looks all that bad lmao

[calm widget]

I dont think it looks bad either, but it's just not something I can change easily

[calm widget]

I'll test it out, I'm still convinced somethings wrong with what you're using to spawn him in, also send logs please

[calm widget]

Gonna add squishing sound, gonna learn patching so that whenever a pink giant spawns, it increases the likelihood of a forest giant spawning

[dim hull]

I would invert that

If forest giant, red giant becomes more likely

[calm widget]

I dont know if I can do that tbh, but I'll check

[calm widget]

adding squishing sound right now

[loud kernel]

this mod is so sick i love this guy

[sleek plinth]

Man if this is just one species, I wonder what the others are like

[minor nymph]

Should probably not have it on all moons xd should only be on moons with forest giants, no?

[calm widget]

surprisingly forest giants spawn on every map, just some are super rare

but I havent figured out exactly how to configure the spawn rates for each moon using lethal lib

[valid oar]

Maybe only offense and asusrance giants still doawn there

[minor nymph]

[calm widget]

i love that lol

[minor nymph]

I've never seen them on anything but forest maps

[calm widget]

you should've atleast seen them on titan too right?

[valid oar]

And redwood looks closest to desert

[sleek plinth]

They spawn on every map I believe

[minor nymph]

[calm widget]

same with rend and dine, they're decently not rare in those

only on offense and assurance are they like a 1% or smthn

[valid oar]

I have

I was on the roof of the ship and i was playing ring around the rosie or somrthing with it lol

[calm widget]

lol

yea

ig i might as well change the bestiary now for the guy who didnt like it

RedWood Giant should be fine

[valid oar]

Its pretty short lol

[calm widget]

its decently long

plus im keeping it original to the person who made it -flameburnt

[valid oar]

Ye i like the name i also still remember when u said he's muslim

[valid oar]

Kk

[calm widget]

she's* muslim

[valid oar]

She?!?!??!

[calm widget]

their version of a hijab is a lil different than what you guys think

[valid oar]

I just ate 60 grapes lol also how so lol

[calm widget]

idfk im memeing

this 70 foot tall is not bound by gender pronouns or religious context, they're basically their own god 😭

[valid oar]

Lol

[calm widget]

also uploading the update for bestiary name change and squishing sound

dont get stepped on
