ebon moss
#

do we know of any of these mods causing the driftwood to not spawn

#

cause it isn't spawning for me

somber sleet
#

...did you check the config

abstract relic
#

if you generated the config before driftwood got added it wont be anywhere

ebon moss
#

i didn't do anything to the driftwood in lq, does it still cause problems?

#

oh

ebon thistle
#

i have encountered, honest to god, 0 bugs lmao

#

atleast with driftwood

limpid whale
#

Not the host

Imagine if we could sell these guysโ€™ bodies

calm widget

might come true if you dreamt it

ebon thistle

xu do i tell them

calm widget

tell them what

#

im not planning on making the bodies sellable

ebon flower
ebon thistle

that you implemented driftwood samples

it's essentially the same thing

zenith knoll
calm widget
#

oh that, yeah

#

sure

#

was SnackS who implemented it tbf but yeah

ebon thistle
#

yeah if you get a driftwood to die it drops samples

zenith knoll
ebon flower

#

Maybe for the lightning, there could be a config for spawn on stormy only/not only? I really like the lightning on the giant, gives a supermassive god feel. same with color config for lightning maybe like the dust clouds off the giant itself (idk how possible this would be, im not exactly great at coding)

tame adder
#

i tried to order a bunch of bullets from piggys variety mod for the revolver from that mod and got the whistles from this one

#

thing is, it worked earlier, this probably isnt relevant and i should probs move this to the pvm thread

pliant vault
#

bro just hiding

thorn sage
#

just load the whistles into the revolver, i dont see the issue

# tame adder i tried to order a bunch of bullets from piggys variety mod for the revolver fro...

i've had a similar bug and i have no idea what causes it
the whole register for buyable items is shifted/randomized
i'll try to buy a $30 pro flashlight and the listed cost when i type it in is $12 and i'll get a walkie if i confirm, but trying to buy a walkie won't buy a pro flashlight either
not that that specifically has happened, i've had mod items get swapped with vanilla items, mod items swap, etc
no clue whats responsible, hasn't happened since i reset my modlist for v50

ive never been able to get a driftwood angry at me without purposefully running into them

wintry minnow

I do concur they seem kinda stupid

lilac dragon

With the way they run I wouldnโ€™t be surprised they have the brain the size of a pea

They just look like dumb silly creatures that wanna yeet you

#

Was still forced to make a scream config and whatnot smh

lilac dragon
#

Tbf tho configurability and accessibility is nice

calm widget
# lilac dragon Idk I think the dynamic damage based on range would go hard

It's just a joke of an enemy atp though, I'm all for more configs but even in a lot of my testing you can easily dodge the scream as it is and then making it do less damage the further out you are? Like it's gonna trigger before you even get to the bad scream damage and you'll be having like 1 to 3 damage dealt to you only

ebon thistle
#

and they spot you just as often

#

though sneaking behind them seems to be easier for me w them than w normal giants

calm widget
#

It really is a lot harder for them to spot you

#

Than most enemies lol

ebon thistle
#

idk I never had any issue

calm widget
#

Range might be same I haven't checked but they turn a lot and they have an actually working awareness system (that I've almost had to axe because people complained that it's not seeing them)

#

I can buff up how long it'd take for you to be in its sight range for it to aggro if you'd like

ebon thistle
#

though it makes sense, once they see you youre toast unless you can get inside the ship or facility

wintry minnow
#

I was able to give one devious backshots with a shovel

#

Before it even thought of me

#

But Iโ€™d have to do more testing to make sure it wasnโ€™t just a stupid giant

ebon thistle
#

do they trigger when your collision meets theirs?

#

like forest keepers do

#

@calm widget

calm widget
ebon thistle
#

weird

spring girder
#

is 400 a good enough spawn weight to be considered close to guaranteed

#

still didn't seem to get redwood to spawn on March through multiple landings, waiting up to the evening

mortal moss
#

if you want it guaranteed, then 9999. but yeah 400 should be good

spring girder
#

I'll try 1500 or something I guess, since I recall Forest Giant's weight not even exceeding triple digits on March and it being pretty common

#

a little confused

wintry minnow
#

Do they spawn at all for you

spring girder
#

uhh

#

I saw one driftwood on adamance and one redwood on dine, despite the fact that redwood's March spawn weight was 400, and somewhere below 300 on Dine

wintry minnow
#

You have MarchLevel right instead of just March

spring girder
#

never saw a redwood at March

#

yea

wintry minnow
spring girder
#

was careful to not change anything except the numbers

calm widget
#

yeah with levels like march and most early levels, the power level is just super low

#

like even with 9999 it took me a while to spawn my giant in vow lol

#

prob cuz it was flooded

spring girder
#

is redwood 2 power?

calm widget
#

1

spring girder
#

damn

#

is their amount limited to 1 though?

calm widget
#

otherwise it would break stuff (im too lazy to do a null check so stuff doesn't break)

spring girder
#

great

lime lava
#

Spinny cat

left granite
#

i feel like driftwood should've gotten pissed but he did not
is he unlike regular giants where he doesn't aggro if you're in the ship?

#

also
lightning spotted

#

although "in" in this case is on the catwalk outside

#

i've seen him spot and attack other creatures just fine

kind berry
ebon thistle
#

xu didn't want it camping the ship

left granite
#

no gorilla slamming the ship ๐Ÿ˜ข

calm widget
#

Next update he'll target you on the railing

#

But inside nope

kind berry
#

but yeah I want to use this mod though I want to disable redwood giant as idk what moons I would like him to spawn on-

Besides the driftwood being on the island one and maybe another one depending how I feel on it-

#

I assume just by setting it's weight to zero?

#

and should I wait for the next update to get this mod btw?

calm widget
#

There's some desync issues in multiplayer but nothing game breaking, just driftwood not working right in multiplayer

#

toyed with @scenic prism 's "Dragon Giant" idea thru some sketches. tbh, i cant make it look good as anything draconic. easier to do as a bat ๐Ÿ˜›

#

last 2 sketches were for fun

novel lance
#

ashwood giant

#

cause like dragon>fire>ash

scenic prism
#

That's a funky take on the Dragon Giant. Didn't really visualize it as a actual dragon haha, but thats funky

ebon thistle
scenic prism
#

That's where this started

ebon thistle
#

i've been meaning to sketch it too but i am so intensely procrastinative i just haven't done it

scenic prism
#

Masa put down the like, Dragon Giant and another Giant here Masa believes(?)

ebon thistle
#

the visual I have in mind for when I draw it (soonTM) was like a huge tree ent with a small trunk and huge thick branches that deformed into horns and a demonic dragon face at the front

dim roost
#

ah

ebon thistle
#

though the big dragon tree idea's fucking sick

dim roost
#

if you have a thread we can continue there

scenic prism
#

Masa's main idea to the design is essentially a bipedal giant just like any other giant, but the face is instead that of a chinese dragon, almost like its a mask. And then the top of it slightly conceals the head like a samurai straw hat, but instead created from the weird swirly twigs the Socotra Tree has, and then the leaves to cover the 'straw' top of the hat.

So imagine if the Forest Keeper went to the lunar festival, got a bit burned and bought a straw hat and a dragon mask

#

This is the thread, technically. ^^

ebon thistle
#

down to the chinese inspiration too

scenic prism
#

Xu gave permissions to practically go ham with Masa's ideas. Although this is a draft, so do not take this idea as a guaranteed addition. ^^

scenic prism
ebon thistle
scenic prism
#

Everything Masa yaps about is always up for debate. You can ask Monty, we're always arguing with each other <3

#

(Arguing about Biodiversity*)

ebon thistle
#

also main inspiration behind the branch face look I was imagining is the hanma demon back

scenic prism
#

Woah

ebon thistle
#

yujiro hanma tree ๐Ÿ”ฅ

calm widget
#

Lol i forgot about that face

calm widget
#

(Not about bioD)

dim roost
#

lord... that face... it's perfect

scenic prism
#

Masa was thinking like this basically. Snout and stuff ejected out so its not flat

ebon thistle
scenic prism
#

Actual smoke maybe gushing out of the nose too

dim roost
#

maybe as an pre/post effect of fire breathing?

scenic prism
#

Pre/During yuh

dim roost
#

having it always on may apply unwanted performance issues with constant particle effects

scenic prism
#

Or Pre/During/Post. Kind of like a flamethrower, where the gas spews out first for 1 second, then breath fire; smoke gushes out consistently, then when it ends, 2 seconds after it stops breathing fire a quick spew of smoke comes out.

#

The pre would be a indication of that its about to spit flames

#

During/Post would be for flair mainly

dim roost
#

and since old birds bring flamethrowing to the table, an asset is suddenly available to recycle

scenic prism
ebon thistle
#

dragon featurees would come from horns, tail, claws and dragon looking feet formed by its roots

scenic prism
ebon thistle
#

nah, the giant's a triangle

#

this guy's a SQUARE

scenic prism

Monty not trying to make every entity square and bulky challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

# calm widget Woah what

i made masa's slim feminine aloe bracken into a more bulky bracken (since it would have to be strong enough to PICK PEOPLE UP which is its hole thing tyvmmm)

#

i was also never aware that it was supposed to be slim

#

and i was pretty sure the consensus was that the sexual dimorphism should be goofy and be the opposite than in humans

scenic prism
#

Employees are just built different Masa guesses

scenic prism
#

Nuh uh, someone must've whispered that in your ear

#

There were a lot of other people yapping about the Aloe after all ๐Ÿ˜”

I fixed the sounds

If the bracken was a custom enemy and not vanilla yall would probably make him do 10 damage ๐Ÿ˜ญ

i'll dub both techs "tulip throw" and "jet launch"

BONGO

#

WHAT THE FUCK

calm widget
#

Driftwood outdifs

forest mulch
#

(it stops moving for a second after it finishes the charge, its actually fairly easy to avoid if you keep moving)

calm widget
#

Minus maybe some variable stuff

ebon thistle
#

when it charges

#

then it's fine

forest mulch
#

yes not its base speed ๐Ÿ’€

ebon thistle
#

i thought it was like... base speed

#

YEAH

#

me when i can't read

forest mulch
#

bros base speed is slow as hell

ebon thistle
#

phew

#

though probably should be slower

calm widget
#

That normal speed is about half player sprint I think so ye slow

ebon thistle
#

but eh i'll see in testing

ebon thistle
#

cuz if you keep in mind that other entities spawn you're either wasting stamina to run away from other threats or activating dog aggro

#

esp during the mid-digestion period

ebon thistle
calm widget
#

But I absolutely think making it dynamic is a silly idea to say the least

ebon thistle
#

nerfing the damage is honestly unnecessary cuz it doesn't do that much

calm widget
#

And more the closer you are

ebon thistle
ebon thistle
#

i mean it makes sense

#

but it does very little

calm widget
#

Well maybe like 1.4x that

#

But its pretty small and stuff like it detecting you randomly or stuff like that would be an imbalance there rather than the scream

#

I'd much rather tinker with how it detects the player than with the scream damage

#

Cuz the driftwood is a lot weaker than it realistically should be

#

Doing 55 damage at most to a player running into it

#

Also I killed one when testing with luni with little to no mods lol

ebon thistle
forest mulch
ebon thistle
#

but like, i'm not quick to react to shit lmao

calm widget
calm widget
calm widget
#

But I kinda realise as I say this this isn't a raycast thing

#

And I do already do raycasting

#

So I'm not sure why I said no

ebon thistle
calm widget
#

But also like come on, I don't wanna make a baby enemy

ebon thistle
#

nah of course, I get it lmao

#

you probably don't wanna be near a giant anyway

calm widget
#

It's not unavoidable it's just a lot of skill balancing I have to take into mind

#

Yea

ebon thistle
#

but if like, i'm trying to run past it im gonna get damaged no matter what

#

which for me is a liittle annoying

calm widget
#

Assuming you hide yourself this won't happen in the next update

#

The range sensing is a bit crazy rn

ebon thistle
#

will it clash with props?

calm widget
#

Cuz people complained it just doesn't see you

calm widget
ebon thistle
#

like i thought you were referring to the scream still

ebon thistle
calm widget
#

Hm

#

I could do that with the scream

ebon thistle
#

you sure it's not people complainig about it not spotting while on the railings?

ebon thistle
calm widget
calm widget
ebon thistle
#

yeah lmao

#

i think the giant's fine by itself

calm widget
#

This is why I steal bongo, he can probably write better AI than me GlaceonPog

ebon thistle
#

I just don't like being unable to leave the encounter unscathed even when i DO play well

ebon thistle
#

unless he's been working on others in the background

calm widget
#

Your definition of play well might just not match mine, which is fine, thats why I don't mind messing with stuff in configs for ranges and whatnot

ebon thistle
calm widget
#

But I don't wanna tone down or up the damage

calm widget
#

Cuz I feel like thatd just ruin it entirely

calm widget
ebon thistle
#

me playing well should equate to me leaving dangerous interactions with minimal damages, none if possible

calm widget
#

I have been doing most things by myself lol

ebon thistle
#

damage that's just unavoidable is a bit unfair to most people, esp ones that have a playstyle like mine (a bunch of my friends)

#

not tryhard playstyle mind you

calm widget
#

Mhm

#

Like for example

ebon thistle
calm widget
#

I was watching mago play the other day

ebon thistle
calm widget
#

And he was playing with the driftwood

#

And it went past an hour and he was just dodging the driftwood real fine lol

ebon thistle
calm widget
ebon thistle
#

i've only died to the scream when i've already taken all its hits before and i'm being held down by something else

calm widget
#

Ye

ebon thistle
#

LMAO

calm widget
#

Plus the screams damage being this low and kinda high is on purpose

ebon thistle
#

just the easiest way to get natural spawns

calm widget
#

If you notice enemies like coilhead and spider

#

Don't one hit you

#

They deal like 80 damage

#

Yeah but, if you're on like

#

80 hp

#

And u get accidently tapped pnce

#

There's no going back

ebon thistle
#

which has an incredibly low amount of walkable area

#

so probably a skill issue + my own stupidity + adamance

calm widget
#

It's damage that is a lot more dangerous than you'd initially think

at first I was terrified of the redwood. Then he fucking ate 3 giants chasing me. Redwood giant is my new best friend

Oh I can imagine auralis being really difficult with driftwood

#

Where its flat land simulator

limpid whale
#

Yeah it doesn't work well on Auralis or Crystallum

#

XD

calm widget
#

Plus I actually noticed a bit of a bug where it notices you like 50 meters out, and immediately loses sight at 51 meters

#

So I do have to recheck my parameters lol

#

The losing sight should be 1.4x~ the initial sight

#

Assuming it still sees u

#

But yeah it's just parameters that aren't balanced

#

Damage is more than fine

#

And its something I'd rather not tweak

#

I love seeing people get thrown

weak vine
#

Redwood Giant is forever new best friend

#

protector of my love for March, Vow, and Adamance

calm widget
#

Redwood is my guardian angel

#

Driftwood is the devil

#

Most times redwood would protect you from driftwood

weak vine
#

it eats the mfer and drops a jar and I yoink it everytime

calm widget
#

Lol

weak vine
#

not sure if the jar is from this mod, but it does have a small texture bug that the little black/grey particles stick in your hand if you switch items whilst in your inventory

#

nothing major though since when dropped it stops

calm widget
weak vine
#

xD anyway neat mod, definitely one am keeping. Ima go back to screaming and getting thrown

calm widget
#

Have fun^^

limpid whale
#

Btw @calm widget I was thinking why not implement the stuff FairGiants has for the Driftwood for Foggy and Snowy planets?

#

That way on Foggy and Snowy specifically it'll have less range it can see

calm widget
#

Why not? Cuz Idk what fair giants did lol

#

But also pretty sure it's already a thing

#

Well actually probably not, but I can do it pretty easily

#

I'm just worried @hushed fox would break stuff

#

I have nothing to work on that says if there's multiple weathers then it'll still work

ebon thistle
#

just shat this out @calm widget @scenic prism @dim roost , though i'd say leaning more into the tail could work a lot better, but again this is just a basic sketch i didn't like, pre-plan the design

calm widget
#

I didnt know u did good concept art

#

That looks pretty sick

dim roost
#

that is fantastic!

#

Xu, get on it! i want it on my desk, completely polished and features included in no more than 12 hours

#

jokes aside, id love to see this as Xu giant #4

calm widget
#

I think I have to be faithful to masa

ebon thistle

this one's really complicated especially since i revolved it around the roots twisting to form the body

ebon thistle

calm widget
#

Also I forgot to respond to that message earlier but I did keep the roles from the template

#

But they sucked

I'm putting it a bit on hold to finally start porting stuff like LethalThings and ImmersiveScrap into LLL

#

I think people would appreciate that more

kind berry
calm widget
#

lethal things is good

wintry minnow
#

I mean

#

Functional

calm widget
#

and also might take ages

#

immersive scrap is a lot easier to port prob

wintry minnow
#

Itโ€™s mainly the item saving issues with LethalThings that I have an issue with

#

It breaks so many things

calm widget
#

porting might not save those but im really unsure tbh

wintry minnow
#

So youโ€™re working on just a port and not any patches

calm widget
#

first a port, and then anything after ill need to understand the code to begin with lol

#

theres a lot that goes in lethal things

wintry minnow
#

Yea

calm widget
#

including a lot of patches that fix ingame bugs but some other mods might also mess with

#

also whatever the fk is causing the item to switch to another item when u reload a save sometimes

#

i have no idea what causes that, the port should fix it afaik

trim flax
#

thats lll's issue to solve

calm widget
#

its probably an issue with how LT used LL, which is ironic, but yeah, i assume it'll be fine after port

trim flax
#

lll needs abit more sauce on it for proper fix

#

but should be better

calm widget
#

also like

#

whats the procedure on porting mods

#

im not the original dev of immersive scrap

#

he did give permission to put it under my name and stuff but its still not my stuff lol

trim flax
#

thats up to you and the original author

#

ideally i guess you release under the prexisting release but

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

calm widget
#

yea

ebon thistle
#

good luck w that xu :]

calm widget
#

im done porting immersive scrap lol, im just putting it into code and setting the very basic configs

ebon thistle
#

heeheeee

trim flax
#

counting that as half a release for today

calm widget
#

today was fairly productive, despite not waking up when i'd have liked to

#

ported ExampleEnemy into LLL, almost completely ported ImmersiveScrap, and writing some notes for the wiki for later

trim flax
#

hell yeah

#

we love to see it

#

i got 1 update down and 2 new mods

#

and i got two hours left

woke up, dawn service, cranked out english assignment and then almost finished the recording :3

thursday's a good day for everyone

#

lol

ebon thistle
#

I got a humongous dentist bill but at least I'm getting my mollar replaced :P

#

also Xu, since you're gonna be porting LT, will you be adding to it in the future?

#

not requesting you to I'm just curious

calm widget
#

after eventually having the bugs fixed

#

and the enemys fleshed out

#

probably not?

#

i still wanna make my overhaul mod

#

and i will be from time to time working on it

ebon thistle
#

yeah that's mainly why I asked LOL

calm widget
#

similarly with immersive scrap, i might be taking things here and there and just seeing what i can cook up with my own mod lol

ebon thistle
#

you have... a lot on your plate rn

calm widget
#

eh most stuff can be knocked out pretty fast

#

i just gotta finish my video tutorials and i can get to my own mods

ebon thistle
#

yeah I don't think LT is lacking in features at all LMAO

calm widget

there is also the inscryption mod that i mean to make sometime soon

It's a way to not do what the thumper does.

copper lava
#

Don't be rude to the spiders perceive

calm widget
#

Kek which is just run away?

silver wedge
#

Because it doesn't trigger the chase state, yeah.

calm widget
#

hmmm

#

should i just be not putting the spider on the list then?

#

for enemies it can kill

silver wedge
#

I think the spider just needs to check if it's null or not.

#

Because otherwise it can't allow enemies to hit it.

calm widget
#

i do make it null though owo_think

silver wedge
#

Yeah

#

That's why it breaks

#

Because it throws NullRefException.

calm widget
#

hmmm

silver wedge
#

Since it doesn't bothering checking before accessing.

calm widget
#

do i patch the spider method to just return then if its null?

silver wedge
#

Which method? The triggerChase?

calm widget
#

uhh hit enemy since thats what would be triggered im guessing?

silver wedge
#

HitEnemy, you would have to make a transpile patch.

calm widget
#

is there a better way?

silver wedge
#

The other way is making a prefix patch on TriggerChase where it checks if the controller provided is null.

#

Then you can return false where it is so that it doesn't do vanilla code.

#

(There's also transpile alternative where you introduce the null check in the if before it starts accessing it)

calm widget
#

hmmm icic

#

will keep in mind
