[Ported] Giant Specimens

[livid aurora]

That little hole is for his little manticoil friend

They're a cohesive unit

[opaque vigil]

Manticoil is a snitch😭

[safe maple]

Is anyone else having a hard time getting this guy to spawn in?

My spawn weights are all 100 or over but its been a very long time since I've seen any of the giants

[opaque vigil]

Yeah

They spawn normally in my normal tests but when I play with all of my mods they don’t spawn anymore

There’s probably a mod conflicting with their spawns but uh, I’m not smart enough or motivated enough to check

[safe maple]

I have configurable company and for some reason all the spawn rates for the giants were on 0. Haven't tested if they can spawn now that I changed it but that could be it

[tawdry breach]

are there another giants in the mod yet?

[serene sky]

just redwood and driftwood

though i plan on modeling the other 2 planned giants

[tawdry breach]

what does driftwood do? I kinda skipped that part because there was so much about the Redwood.

[serene sky]

it grabs you and yeets you

[craggy zealot]

Does this mod have a release date planned for the update or nah

[serene sky]

Uhm when me and xu are done

But redwood model is almost done

I think it just needs textures

[plucky dome]

I have the opposite problem, I dropped spawn rates to half or less and I still get a lot of redwood spawns lol

Probably just rng-lotterying

[opaque vigil]

😭

[opaque vigil]

You stole all the giants

[tawdry breach]

does anyone think the redwood spawn rate should be lowered more as default?

[restive terrace]

Its pretty low on default already

[ebon thistle]

isn't it at like, 100 by default?

[livid aurora]

I personally turned it down

They were spawning far too much

I hardly even saw regular giants anymore

[sleek plinth]

So instead of the Redwood spawning from dirt, make it crash down like a meteor!!!!!!

[opaque vigil]

[serene sky]

new redwood attack

https://tenor.com/view/バルファルク-モンスターハンター-襲撃-爆発-valstrax-gif-24334715

[livid aurora]

Loreeee

Redwood is actually a machine

[sleek plinth]

Ship POV

[calm widget]

shouldnt be any problems with v60

[opaque vigil]

😭

[craggy zealot]

@calm widget driftwood giants don’t work

They just walk in place

And aren’t able to spot you

[opaque vigil]

They’re too scared of your aura

[limpid whale]

Lineofsight code got changed, the Redwood will likely do the same thing

[craggy zealot]

yea Im having this issue with a lot of monsters

not just giant specimen

but like mantis shrimp and men stalker do the same

[limpid whale]

Yeah cus they all use that code

[craggy zealot]

do you by chance know the creator of the "rollerenemy" monster discord there isn't a thread for it here

but its also broken

its not able to kill players

it can still spot you and try and attack you

but nothing happens if it hits you

[limpid whale]

My suggestion is to remove TheGiantSpecimens for now btw

[craggy zealot]

ye I already disabled it

[limpid whale]

I don't think Xu will update it since it's in the middle of being reworked and merged into CR

Btw speaking of CodeRebirth

Disable Tornados

they also broken

[craggy zealot]

wow

[limpid whale]

Yeah the code for them being able to pathfind is broken and apparently they also don't despawn right now

[sleek plinth]

After playing vanilla, I've realized how broken the sightrange of giants are.

[calm widget]

Lol

[rancid yarrow]

Giant Specimens is being merged into Code Rebirth? Or did I read that wrong

[calm widget]

Basically I'm not a fan of working on multiple mods at once and I felt that the giants could still be improved lots, that's why I'm writing their stuff etc into coderebirth, it will, as all coderebirth features be toggleable and toggling it on or off will not make you consume ram in the background

At most it'll add like 4mb into your mod list

(Redwood Giant assets totalled up to like 2mb lol)

[rancid yarrow]

WAIT you're also the dev of Code Rebirth?

You're insanely talented

I thought you were like joining the Code Rebirth team or something but nvm you're the one making it lol

Great mods

[calm widget]

I do a lot lol

A good chunk of my mods are in my profile on thunderstore

Sometimes silly but most of the time I try to put out quality

[calm widget]

And I appreciate the kind words, but really I'm just like everyone else, I joined the scene a bit early and took 6 months to get here from nothing lol

[rancid yarrow]

Your meteors are one of my favorite things in this game. I haven't seen any other custom weathers like that before Code Rebirth

[calm widget]

Thanks! A lot of work were put into em and I'm trying to make em less laggy next update too, a lot of stuff on the meteors wouldn't be possible without some help from @forest mulch and @crystal pendant too

[crystal pendant]

wha

[calm widget]

The meteor shower, a lot of it was ur star struck code lol

[crystal pendant]

oh lmao

[calm widget]

I can barely write code from scratch, templates are life saving

Don't get me wrong it was shite, but it was an amazing template

[crystal pendant]

what even did that code look like
it's been so long

[calm widget]

Horrible

[crystal pendant]

[calm widget]

Used vanilla stuff that zeekerss used wrong

You had a global listener iirc

Which just didn't even work half the time

[crystal pendant]

yeah I think I was trying to act sorta like vanilla weather, but honestly idk

I think I had to manually activate the weather or something too

which I was doing with Unity Explorer

[calm widget]

Oooh fair

I ended up depending on LL, it had a half implementation

I needed to patch leaving moons

But it worked on entry

I also needed to patch out company moon from weather

[crystal pendant]

I tried that but for some reason it didn't work - though the lack of docs didn't help

well at least my shitty code was useful

[calm widget]

Yeah the only doc was a comment eba left behind

Something like "you need to patch stattofround.awakw here and then use the method"

[solar pawn]

20000th message

[serene sky]

Now youre the 19999th message (20000th message now)

[solar pawn]

😦 (20001 now?) anyways just wanted to say that this mod is fun and the redwood giant is my favorite modded enemy rn

[calm widget]

20002 woo

[calm widget]

Ty for the super nice words! Ill be sure to improve the Redwood Giant soon-ish (working on it currently lol(

[solar pawn]

oh no! that's cool, when it comes back i'm sure it will be even cooler so i look forward to it

[serene sky]

Is this mod v72 compatible?

[restive terrace]

It only works on Seichi

[serene sky]

Does seichi work for v72?

[restive terrace]

Needs CodeRebirth 🤭

[mortal moss]

v72 isn't an existing version

[bleak shale]

yet :]

[restive terrace]

I ate it

[serene sky]

my bad

@calm widget does this mod work on v87?

[mortal moss]

v87 isn't an existing version

[calm widget]

Sorry I don't provide backwards compatibility

[serene sky]

damn

i guess ill just have to keep playing v98

[gray dock]

uh
You mean v99?

It just released

[restive terrace]

You guys are living in the past?

Internet Explorer much

Anyways v1.0 full release (not beta) just dropped cant wait for open world expo and new ui elements

[serene sky]

oh damn

[plucky dome]

I think you mean forwards compatibility

[fading dawn]

is your mod compatible with the latest content warning update?

[calm widget]

i am warning

[surreal totem]

this mod dev so fucking lazy bruh 😭

shit dont even work on lethal company 2

[keen horizon]

driftwood giant ai broke..?

[calm widget]

Yeah I cant update it since I'm in the middle of a lot too

[calm widget]

Nou

[serene sky]

Facts

Mod dev lazy

[calm widget]

Yeah she's too busy fixing ur mod

[serene sky]

Wow you fixing wicked?

[calm widget]

Oh also updated to rebuild

And also fixed the sliding issue I think lol

[serene sky]

The sliding was peak

Now the mod is worse 😔

[calm widget]

[dim roost]

at least we still have drifting wood

[opaque vigil]

When is comically large specimens releasing

I need a comically large hammer

[dim roost]

i know there's a Comically Large Spoon in the Scrap Emporium mod, but that mod is pretty much a beggars cant be choosers sort of deal

[dim roost]

does have some other neat weapons tho. hell, neat scraps all around.

[dim roost]

Redwood Gyiatt

did you draw that or is it fanart? regardless, peak

[calm widget]

Rodriguez drew it

He is peak

Well

Samantha drew it

Rodriguez coloured it

[serene sky]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-bender-futurama-bender-colouring-doodling-gif-22508262

[dim roost]

good peak

[serene sky]

for more peak look at shockwave drone thread

[dim roost]

ye just saw

[opaque vigil]

@spice solar

[spice solar]

Bruh 😭

[spice solar]

FIX GIANT SPECIMENS!!!

It hasn’t worked in months for us!

[calm widget]

i updated it lmao

and wdym in months

it stopped working since v62

[fading dawn]

You Fix yo modpack bruh

[spice solar]

i havent seen a giant specimine in actual ages

we disabled the mod because it didnt do anything like a week ago

[calm widget]

try regen'ing your config maybe lmao, it's been working fine for a lot of people

[spice solar]

i havent touched the config since i got the mod

[calm widget]

something might've changed with config with development as time passed, and it didn't properly regenerate, that's what i mean

[heavy tree]

Probably not really your cup of tea but how would one regen his config? :o Haven't seen the Giants in a while either and they also don't show up in AdvancedCompany's settings

[calm widget]

AC might actually just be blocking them, i've seen the two mods conflict before for no reason from what i know lol, but to regen the config just go to mod manager configs --> delete configs, launch game

[whole merlin]

Using this without problem, have encountered plenty of giants

I did tinker with the config though

[bleak shale]

AC was blocking for me the creatures from Harvest moons.
I changed it to LQ

[zenith knoll]

Bruh

[pliant vault]

played some with the homies and noticed that the blood effects are not working with redwood

also idea for red wood to only go for players in eclips moons

[safe maple]

my Red Wood Giant seems to be stuck in place

he's doing the walking animation but just not moving

Driftwood seems to be doing fine however and I'd just like to say it's really well done

[pliant vault]

For me literally the opposite ^
Tho only like 20% the time drift is stuck for me, but he still yeets you

[safe maple]

Revisited the same moon and now RWG is moving normally

Nevermind, it's walking animation is fast like it's chasing after something but it's moving slow

[blissful wolf]

me when I download the hit mod from lethal company thunderstore "The Gyatt Specimens"

[calm widget]

Hmm I might mess with it

[calm widget]

Yessir

[livid aurora]

When are you buffing the Redwoods cheeks?

It's unplayable in it's current state

Man is so flat I can write an essay on it

[zenith knoll]

No

please no

[restive terrace]

ThiccWoods wen

[livid aurora]

Please

Make it like a 1% chance to spawn triple caked up

Thiccer than a bowl of oatmeal

[zenith knoll]

Pause

[calm widget]

@serene sky

[serene sky]

Sigh*

[calm widget]

This mod is currently being reworked into #1241786100201160784 with better animations, models, textures and AI, if you have any concerns about anything please send it into that thread.
if you're an artist/modeller/texturer/animator/rigger then please do reach out if you'd like to help out with adding new awesome features.

[calm widget]

redwood is almost fully ported, just waiting on some sounds and textures

[boreal lark]

oooo, what kind of animation stuff are you looking for?

[calm widget]

Honestly anything that looks cool to me I'd code and add to my mod usually, I just love modding lol

Like right now I'm redoing redwood, I'm doing a robot girl from #1206577004263120968 as a companion, I'm adding dangerous plants too, adding more gems, more weapons, adding terraria biomes (corruption, hallow, crimson) and a new weather

[latent sky]

terraria biomes???

how tf is that gonna work lmao

[dapper finch]

Xu

when will the giant's family members be able to also fart

I want to see them fart too :Troll:

[calm widget]

They start off very small and spread around

[calm widget]

Never

[dapper finch]

why not

its only logical

[calm widget]

Exact same way as in terraria

[dapper finch]

death by fart 😭

[craggy zealot]

any progress on cactus giant or nah

[serene sky]

that kinda depends on me cuz im supposed to model and animate it

and i havent done anything for it

been doing alot of other stuff

[boreal lark]

oooo alright, do you have like a model and example animation you'd like to see, I'd be down to help make some LOL

[calm widget]

Do you have any specialties like inanimate objects? Etc

[boreal lark]

I don't really specialize in a specific type of animation but I do work with character and prop animation a bit

those would be my strongsuits

[calm widget]

Icic, and just because my reading comprehension sucks, did you mean models and animation or just animation lol

[boreal lark]

LOL just animation, not a modeller sadly 😭

[calm widget]

that's fine

Honestly half the struggle is getting a model to begin with, I apparently suck at finding them, the other half would be animations though lol

[boreal lark]

fair, well yeah if you've got an animation or smth you need I'd be down to give it a shot

[calm widget]

ill give you a shout for sure then

oh yeah does that include rigging

[boreal lark]

oh yeah sure LOL

I do a lot of rigging

obv its much easier to use pre-rigged stuff but I've got a lot of experience in that area

[calm widget]

I guess this means I can widen my flower search range into non animated ones too lol

[spark sedge]

Hey. just wanted to say, the driftwood dosent seem to be working. It just walks in place

[tall heron]

that was fixed an updater ago?

[spring girder]

the anthropomorphic version of the shockwave drone will be real?

[calm widget]

yes

[serene sky]

Peak

[dapper finch]

you're making a mistake by making a female monster

you know what will happen, don't you?

[serene sky]

Im the one who came up with it and yes i am well versed in how the internet works

[dapper finch]

you're about to summon the horde 😭

[serene sky]

Good

[dapper finch]

nutcracker family when?

:Trol:

[calm widget]

never

[dapper finch]

wow...

you're so mean :(

my feelings are hurt!!!

[calm widget]

[sour rover]

@calm widget
Horder Bug Family first!

We need a Yippee Family!

Plus a big one that steals players thinking they are scrap 😆

[dapper finch]

nutcracker family would just be different crackers with guns

imagine a nutcracker with AK47

[calm widget]

lol

[plucky dome]

There’s an enemy variety mod that has some interesting designs you may be interested in

[dapper finch]

oooh

which?

if its extract's then I already know

because

extract's awesome

obviously

[plucky dome]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/DistinctBlaze/ExtraEnemyVariety/

Its not much, just skins, but its still pretty cool

[low girder]

This is sick, I love variety in LC

[serene sky]

:( i hate variety in LC

Everything needs to be the same

[dapper finch]

grrrr

well...

I hate you!

[serene sky]

Well i dont hate you cuz i dont know you but i hate what you stand for

And encourage you to become a better person

[dapper finch]

I take it back

please marry me-

[serene sky]

Ew no, i hate you

[dapper finch]

:(

I hate myself then

I'm gonna go jump off a trampoline

[serene sky]

Here have a shockwave drone gal to cheer you up

[dapper finch]

is the joke supposed to be that she doesn't exist?

bruh

[serene sky]

She exist

hell nah 💀

what the hell have you done

[serene sky]

Peak...

[dapper finch]

''I'm gonna plug myself in her outlet'' 🗿

i can already smell that being one of the comments

[livid aurora]

Loot Bug Specimens

Need

[sour rover]

@calm widget you're the one I trust can make this a reality! Project Yippee is a must!

[calm widget]

Loot bugs aren't coooool

Also I don't know any more modellers who would do that lol

[serene sky]

Not me

Got enough on my plate already

[sour rover]

What if we got one with a shirt on that says @restive terrace SUCKS! Or Hachi Man is Lame! /jk 😆

[calm widget]

Lol

Definitely would model that

[sour rover]

Yes!

I would like to order one in XXXXXXL for redwood giant to please

[serene sky]

I csn do tjat

[restive terrace]

[sour rover]

Oh hey there buddy!

[restive terrace]

Aight we are at war now

[sour rover]

Wait we weren't before? Like man I've been piling the Shisa corpses up in front of Hachi the past several days. Gotta be in the hundreds now.

[restive terrace]

openly admitting to warcrimes

aight i see, well.. enjoy it while it lasts

[sour rover]

Bring it on! I look forward to it 😆

[blissful wolf]

is that the heckin drone from moonswept

[dapper finch]

close enough

[spring girder]

the Weed Giant from The Dank Specimens mod

TZP area-of-effect galore

[livid aurora]

How dare you!

[opaque vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/memes-gif-9980668056796018353

[ebon thistle]

why ask xu when you've got your good boys over at biodiversity (we won't have the mod out till 2034)

[livid aurora]

More loot bug variants please

[livid aurora]

PLEASE MAKE MORE LOOT BUGS

[plucky dome]

@livid aurora

[livid aurora]

Aren't those just color swaps though

I'll still add them!

[plucky dome]

No they’re reskins

[livid aurora]

Same thing isn't it?

[plucky dome]

The mod author has a different mod just for recolors

[livid aurora]

Or do these reskins actually add extra stuff?

Like

Different parts to the monsters

[plucky dome]

I think it’s just the colors mod is just pure colors, but the variety one is outright designs

Compare the two mods from the same author

But yes there’s no major reworks or gameplay changes or anything with either of those mods

[ebon thistle]

some do, none of the lootbugs do

there's a few skins for the butler that add parts to the skin

[sour rover]

Oh hey Monty how about it! Project Yippee!

[ebon thistle]

i'd just add more hoarding bugs to biodiversity lmao

[sour rover]

Bio Yippee!

[livid aurora]

:c

[livid aurora]

YES PLEASE

[errant isle]

holy shit that sent me back from the shockwave of seein it

real shit though that looks like it would fit perfectly into ultrakill as a mindflayer prototype or somethin

[dim hull]

what is she

[livid aurora]

Wife

[serene sky]

Ride wife, life good

https://youtu.be/DcrrUuRoWT4?si=eArSqsxnAznq-cYT

[latent sky]

Driftwood giant really hating me today

[calm widget]

lol where did u een land

even*

[latent sky]

somewhere in the facility

idk how I skipped a death barrier

free inverse!!

i very much expected to die lol

[pale flame]

@calm widget im using LQ to make sure the giants spawn in moons that it would make sense for them to spawn in, what is the DriftWood Giant(menstalker_type)

[calm widget]

that is probably LQ being weird

the first name is wrong

the brackets are the actual enemy

[pale flame]

ohhh

so its the menstalker?

[pale flame]

so your one is

this one right?

[calm widget]

yep

[pale flame]

easy thank youuuu :D

[calm widget]

all good 🙂

[pale flame]

pink giant is the ||very big one|| right?

[calm widget]

ye

[pale flame]

okay thank you :D

[blissful parrot]

when do the new giants come in the game

[serene sky]

soon ™️

[blissful parrot]

okay

[odd fog]

I have a question

So it seems like that driftwood giants spawn VERY commonly

And a redwood giant spawns almost all of the time

How can I fix the config options to try and control the giants spawning?

[calm widget]

just lower the spawn weights in the config

you can do something lik "Modded:20,Vanilla:20" for a much more reasonable rarer experience

[odd fog]

I know but even when I set it to 0, they still spawn

[odd fog]

thanks

What if I want to do a specific moon

[calm widget]

then you'd add that specific moon as like "ExperimentationLevel:50" and it'd override the vanilla's 20 you set before

[odd fog]

Ok...

Now how does the config work? What is the highest and lowest?

[calm widget]

you'd only add "Level" if its a vanilla moon too

[calm widget]

wdym?

[odd fog]

And what is the middle ground?

[calm widget]

it's just a weight, it's not a percentage

[odd fog]

I think its 300 being 50 percent right?

[calm widget]

it's like a lotto

imagine u buy 500 tickets

you're almost guaranteed to win if no one else really buys many tickets

but if someone bugs 50000 lottos

you're basically guaranteed to not win

usually other vanilla enemies lie between like

30 to 60 i think'

[odd fog]

:/

[calm widget]

this is just how base game works lol

it's a very good system too

[odd fog]

So just put in 20 for everything

ok

And if I put in 0, then no giants should spawn

I was just confused because I kept getting like three driftwoods per moon

[latent sky]

i feel like there are much better analogies to use for this

[calm widget]

i mean

spawn weights are lotteries between monsters themselves

the winner spawns

it's literally a raffle lol

[whole merlin]

Yeah, doesn't help that everyone talks about the odds of monsters/dungeons as percentages basically everywhere outside the modding space

[tall heron]

think about it like using a rigged dice where you are applying weight to the different sides

the ones with more weight are more likely to land, but it still isn't guaranteed

[carmine condor]

My giant specimens mod wont spawn shit, ahvent seen them in the last like, 60 runs. I assume their just incompatible with one of my mods but thought I'd make my comment.

[calm widget]

Try deleting config

[wispy osprey]

hi

does the redwood actually eat oldbirds?

ive seen them get killed by a an oldbird but not the opposite

[calm widget]

If an oldbird hits them they should start targeting the old bird

It's also a config option but I don't remember what the default is

[wispy osprey]

odd

i tried killing a redwood with a shotgun

didnt die

but somehow i left it with an oldbird and it died

also do driftwoods target you at night?

[calm widget]

Yeah old birds do a lot more damage

[wispy osprey]

i start hitting them and they dont react

[calm widget]

Lethal phones breaks driftwood aggro range

If you have that

[wispy osprey]

i dont have t hat mod

[zenith knoll]

How-

[calm widget]

Hmm

[calm widget]

Dunno, never checked

[zenith knoll]

Huh

[wispy osprey]

i spawned them using imperium

[calm widget]

But yeah hitting them should aggro them on ya

[wispy osprey]

does imperium break anything?

[calm widget]

Maybe it's just unnatural spawns it freaks out

[zenith knoll]

You'd think it would be something else

not a phones mod

[wispy osprey]

yeah

i guess maybe imperium fucked it up

[zenith knoll]

Imperium is a bit fucked but I haven't used it in almost two weeks so

maybe they updated

[wispy osprey]

no i only try like new mods in my imperium save

ill play it without so i think ill be good

any way to avoid driftwoods?

just dont get in their line of sight?

[calm widget]

Pretty much

Redwoods eat em too

[wispy osprey]

okay sounds fun

i hope they spawn on art

oldbirds kill giants and dogs

and redwoods kill oldbirds

cycle of life

[calm widget]

Mhm

[wispy osprey]

i like to imagine that redwood giants have some sort of super strong acid thats why they can eat pretty much anything

[carmine condor]

Yeah i tried a lotta stuff, couldn't ge tthese bad boys to spawn

wish there were a mod to tell you incompatibility errors rather than trial and error

[calm widget]

weird

[dapper finch]

@calm widget why is the Driftwood broken?

[calm widget]

?

[dapper finch]

it doesn't attack anymore

atleast for me

it just moves around

[calm widget]

ill test it in a profile now but pretty sure it works

[dapper finch]

thanks 👍

[opaque vigil]

Max aura

[odd fog]

Well, then it might just be another mod which prohibits monster spawns fully

Also lucky you

The only monster that spawns is 4 driftwoods

[unkempt locust]

how does driftwoods ai work??

[calm widget]

he's an on sight type of enemy

he detects through seeing you, his eyesight doesnt have much range but he can definitely see u from far away

if the eye stuff isnt working then some mod is giving an incompatibility and im not sure hwich

i know lethal phones screws it

[bleak shale]

Redwood got softlocked after I killed a Driftwood giant (with a shovel, don't ask me how)
It kept trying to walk over the driftwood corpse

[dapper finch]

driftwood is still broken for me

won't attack

but eardrum bursting still works

[sour rover]

Definitely a mod causing conflict. Yesterday had a driftwood throw my friend into a sandworm. Also had one throw me into a lake also. Seems to me I'm getting opposite effect.

Xu your drift wood are to good, their aim has gotten better lately please nerf! Kidding BTW

[calm widget]

When I do rework them ill make sure their AI works for everyone

Cuz there's obv something in there causing incompats

[dapper finch]

i see

i dunno what the incompat issue is tho

[dense olive]

yo ur mod wont run on v62 and im the only one in the server

@calm widget sorry to interrupt, but im on v62 and got the mod installed, along with me and my friend both having the mod. on the changelog it says that it made it compatible for v62, so whats the problem

[calm widget]

wdym wont run? @dense olive

[dense olive]

no i can still play lethal company, its just the whistle isnt on the shop or theres no variants. it just doesnt work

[calm widget]

send your logs

sounds like u dont have a dependency

are u manual installing?

[dense olive]

ye im a manual installer

[calm widget]

why not using a mod manager?

[dense olive]

but i have lethal lib, handler, and bepinex

[dense olive]

cant be bothered tbh, is it necessary

im supposing the log is the logoutput file in bepinex or?

[calm widget]

yeah, trust me it makes the process a lot easier

[dense olive]

[Info :TheGiantSpecimens] IsServer: False

found that in the log

[calm widget]

there's like a few dependencies for this mod

[dense olive]

it sends the spawnrates but idk if im just unlucky with finding the variants

btw what mod manager should i use?

[calm widget]

thunderstore

[dense olive]

aight so is there a problem with the mod rn or am i js unlucky with findin the variants

bcuz im sure there should be a whistle on the shop

[calm widget]

you dont have all the dependencies

[dense olive]

so what i gotta install

[calm widget]

...the dependecies 😭, a mod manager would just do it for u breh

[dense olive]

im tryna do it but its just stuck on next

[calm widget]

huh

[dense olive]

i clicked next and now its stuck

[calm widget]

maybe give it a minute?

if that doesnt work then you can just look up thunderstore thegiantspecimens and itll tell u all the dependencies

[dense olive]

i downloaded them all

lethal lib

hookgenpatcher

and bepinex

idk what else is needed that wasnt stated

[calm widget]

those arent all the dependencies

[dense olive]

oops thats too thin but

[calm widget]

nah i see it, send ur logs tho lol

[dense olive]

[calm widget]

yeah

thats weird, it tells you it loaded

are you sure u didnt disable em in config

[dense olive]

and certain thing i disabled?

any*

[calm widget]

dunno, their spawning ig lol

[dense olive]

there aint no whistle in the shop tho

and i enabled it to spawn

[calm widget]

weird, im not sure then, something must've went wrong in the downloads but it doesnt say it here

works for everyone else

i can only chalk it up to being a mod manager hting

[dense olive]

did i misplace the dll

[calm widget]

dunno, the mod says it loaded

[dense olive]

ill get the mod manager and come back to tell you if it works or not

[calm widget]

ight

[dense olive]

btw if it works the whistle should appear in the terminal store

correct?

[calm widget]

ye

[dense olive]

aight

ok why tf do no mods show on the thunderstore mod manager

[calm widget]

wdym

[dense olive]

i js tried to run lethal company

[dense olive]

i js deleted all the mods

[calm widget]

lil bro this is being spammed

[calm widget]

isnt attributed to a mod so idk what its from

might be one of ur mods

u got any super old ones?

[dense olive]

and it crashed

[calm widget]

nice

[dense olive]

its probably hdlethalcompany tho

[calm widget]

ye

that one's really deprecated

old

[dense olive]

It got fixed recently

We absolutely love your mod

Keep doing this amazing work

[calm widget]

Ty

[exotic elbow]

I always wondered what if driftwood could warn you to not approach him by just staring at you and pretty much like brackens he will get pissed at one point if you dont hurry to leave

Gangsta driftwood

[plucky dome]

Is there a fork of it?

[craggy zealot]

what does the whistle even do @calm widget

does it like attract the redwood or something

[serene sky]

ye

[calm widget]

Ye

[opaque vigil]

Ye

[carmine condor]

is there a list of known incompatible mods for this mod or naw

[opaque vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-bird-злая-птица-gif-11035121084204696939

All of them

(Idk)

[carmine condor]

right yeah

aight yeah

[ebon thistle]

lethalphones definitely

but apart from that I can't recall any other big ones

[carmine condor]

Oh really? Do you know why exactly a mod like that would interfere with one like this?

[dapper finch]

smh who uses thunderstore anymore

gale is better

[ebon thistle]

it seems like lethalphones in general kinda just messes with enemies that have line of sight mechanics

I've seen people have issues with the plague doctor scp dude and coil heads too

[dense olive]

on a random note

this is my fav mod

[molten dagger]

But in what way is it incompatible?
I've been using the two and haven't noticed anything really

[dense olive]

well incompatible could mean a few things

1. the mods clashing means lethal company wont run

2. one mod cancels out the other

3. they both die (lmao)

[calm widget]

specifically the driftwood cant see you if lethal phones is installed

[molten dagger]

oh wow and let me guess that's a thing the mod creator of lethal phones has to fix and there no where to be seen

[dense olive]

iatefivehomelesspeoplebecauseithoughtheywerewatermelons

[calm widget]

prettymuch

[molten dagger]

Why do I even start liking mods
Just do suffer with not being able to use them

WWwwhhhyyyyy

[opaque vigil]

Lethal phones should add a cell phone and when you use it while in orbit you crash because texting and driving is bad

[dense olive]

And make it so it takes them to a custom moon (even though that would be lots of work)

[opaque vigil]

You just die if you text and drive😭

The ship just blows up

Or something

[dense olive]

Yo bro check out this new tiktok I sent yo-

KABOOM

Btw

Just a guess

But does lethal phones mean u can text chat via walkie talkie

[calm widget]

No idea

[dense olive]

Yippee

[dense olive]

Yo

Is v64 gonna make giant specimens incompatible?

Nvm it's just a beltbag

Shouldn't rlly be a problem

[calm widget]

and a new big thing

but ye

[dense olive]

What new big thing

I checked the changelog

The meteor showers are only 0.8%

Weird idea I just thought of

But yk the giant that throws you, I think it's the mangrove

It would be a cool idea, if possible, that if he misses you because you sprinted or smth, he picks up a pile of dirt from the ground and throws it at you. It could cover up your lens, blinding you for a bit, and deal some damage. Or you could just make it lethal.

[wispy osprey]

ok i had to disable the driftwood

he just doesnt care if youre hidden in the cruiser

grabs you anyways]

[blissful wolf]

What if instead he throws the cruiser

[gray sleet]

played the mod and saw the redwood giant this mod is amazing and then i saw the redwood giant eat the driftwood this mod is one of my new favorites

[wise coral]

yummers

[pale flame]

[stray shoal]

Baby giants when

[livid aurora]

I wanna see them kick around the socker ball

[calm widget]

i love a good socker ball

[livid aurora]

It's 3am

I'm sorry for destroying that word

Soccer ball

[calm widget]

lol

[dim hull]

Socker? I hardly know 'er!

[serene sky]

Rock em' sock em' robots

[north patio]

Does anyone know if there is a problem with this mod that makes it so nothing from this mod spawns? I could just need to do a fresh install but after many adamances and other forest moons I've only gotten vanilla giants. I used to be able to get driftwood and redwood giants and then one day maybe after an update it just stopped

[calm widget]

Try regen'ing config

[north patio]

Okay I'll try that later thank you

[burnt sparrow]

does this mod work int he latest version?

[calm widget]

ye

[burnt sparrow]

lets go

w mod

[craggy zealot]

@calm widget Wtf 💀

[serene sky]

oops

I dropped my anvil

[ebon thistle]

what the fuck is that model 💀

[serene sky]

john paularratus

[craggy zealot]

The worst part is he was actually like 10 feet away from the apparratus but I killed him

I assume that's what he does, tries to find the apparatus hence his name

And the fact he kept saying "I need to find it"

lol

[serene sky]

yeah that enemy is a youtuber enemy like Pjonk goose

its for JP from the mithzan crew

[craggy zealot]

@serene sky Will bad things happen if I pick you up

Why are you red bro

Where is the friendly green text

[serene sky]

I love being squeeze

[calm widget]

Lol

[mortal moss]

biodiversity

[livid aurora]

They're working on a thumper rn

[mortal moss]

biodiversity eventually

[dapper finch]

I can't wait for the redwood giant to eat more stuff from biodiversity whenever compatibility happens

[calm widget]

Say no more I don't need to be asked twice

[dapper finch]

[livid aurora]

Redwood slurps up Ogopogo like spaghetti

[ebon thistle]

I won't overstep but it'd be really funny if Ogopogo could drag down driftwoods

[ebon thistle]

idk where you got that from lmao

[ebon thistle]

biodiversity soon™

[thin edge]

Yes lol you guys are working on coil heads

[ebon thistle]

no actually we're working on goopy goblin

the cat's out of the bag

[full palm]

plot twist: ogopogo was the bog crawler all along

[latent sky]

I thought you were doing the bog crawler

[calm widget]

If ogopogo dragged driftwood down, I think big bro redwood would need to squeeze pogo a question

[ebon thistle]

then don't make biggie red eat my prototax and leafboys !!!!

😔

[serene sky]

bruce solos all of giant specimens and biodiversity

no diff

[calm widget]

Bruce is actually friends with nyanwood

They go way back

[calm widget]

It's okay he'll just step on em like the rest of everything else

[ebon thistle]

they're unkillable so they'll be fine heheh

[calm widget]

That's what you think

[serene sky]

Imaginary technique : https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/TheFluff/EverythingCanDie/

[serene sky]

that mod made it that when you killed bruce on him you got sent to the shadow realm

[calm widget]

I check a few things, whether they have a death animation and whatnot, but I can literally just squash em onto the ground, I'm just too pre occupied with cooler stuff rn

[ebon thistle]

yeh neither of them have a death anim lmao

so rn leafboys no diff redwood 🔥

[calm widget]

Lol, squash is taking a picture of them top down and killing the enemy then painting the ground with that picture

[livid aurora]

Someone told me that when I asked about loot bugs

Don't remember who

[ebon thistle]

oh if it was Adri he was talking about in the far future

we're working on other stuff not related to implementing new boys rn, mostly bug fixing n shit

we'll get back to working on new entities after we're a bit more free of time and our enemies aren't causing a huge amount of issues

[livid aurora]

Alrighty

Hopefully some loot bugs are coming next

[copper lava]

Like in LittleCompany 👀

[normal lintel]

Whats the difference between "DriftWoodGiant" and "DriftWood Giant"? @calm widget

[calm widget]

Wdym?

1st is the internal name

[serene sky]

Shouldve named the internal, woodgorilla lol

[normal lintel]

well im using LQ and in the dropdown menu there are two entities. I don't know which one is the right one

[calm widget]

What's it say on the right

In (brackets)

[normal lintel]

nothing actually. for some outside enemies i can only select DriftWood Giant

[calm widget]

Huh

I thought LQ showed a name then another name in brackets

[normal lintel]

not for everything

[narrow tide]

Is it just me or does the redwood giant never spawn in anymore? (I have their spawn cranked up to 999 on experimentation and it was eclipsed and I never saw them.)

[calm widget]

weird, maybe just try regenerating config? i've had that work for some people

[narrow tide]

That certainly did the trick!

[calm widget]

sick

[opaque vigil]

What the colony of ants sees as I charge up my attack (toddler flying at 80 mph)

[dapper finch]

real

[livid aurora]

Why did Xu tools get deprecated

I can safely uninstall it, right?

And still use this mod and others

Whaaa did Xu leave the server?

[narrow tide]

It appears they did

[restive terrace]

Xu wont maintain it anymore since JLL does most of its features and more.

But XuMiscTools currently is still needed for Seichi

Til the next update, it works fine

[livid aurora]

Oh okie

Why did they leave the server though

Are they alright?

[restive terrace]

She’ll probably be back, I’ll let you know if not.

[livid aurora]

Alrighty

Gonna miss them ;w;

[dim hull]

I liked Xu...

[dim roost]

they just need time to decompress.

[stray shoal]

Any lore on the shisha poop being named xu?

[ebon thistle]

s1ckboy being a goof

[restive terrace]

That was changed tho for a while now 🤷‍♂️

It was like a quad-reference joke thingy

[opaque vigil]

When I first saw it my dementia kicked in and I forgot who xu was so I thought it meant poop or waste in Japanese but didn’t fact check it

[restive terrace]

The current name, unko actually does mean poop

[opaque vigil]

😱

[calm widget]

i also glossed over this but uh ty

[dim hull]

Aight damn

[narrow tide]

Is it just me or does the redwood not eat the old birds anymore? They just pick them up and put them in their mouth and then the old bird just falls on the ground and continues it's day (Then they can't be eatten again so now their going in circles)

[serene sky]

Redwood doesnt like the taste of metal

[full palm]

ohhhh i think i might know why this is happening....

zeekers made it so that earth levis can no longer eat old birds

perhaps redwoods use the same code?....

[calm widget]

ever since i stopped updating giant specimens, redwood stopped brushing his teeth and his neglected his doctor's visits

please, if you are able to, send redwood a heartfelt message pleading for him to come to his senses

his family has been seeing him drift (haha get it?) down a very bad road

the path he's taking, its very slippery, we're all worried redwood, please come back to us

[exotic elbow]

BorealGiant for snowy maps when ?

[calm widget]

after the redwood attends his appointments

[exotic elbow]

he just send you massive ball of snow

lol

[full palm]

ok but now i have a picture of the redwood scraping its teeth with a tree in my head, thx XD

[reef oxide]

Does the whistle do anything

[serene sky]

whistle

[near portal]

Use it for the Redwood giant

[ebon thistle]

leads the redwood to your loacation I think

[serene sky]

whistle

[winter torrent]

Xu, would you give me early access to cactus giant for a Twix bar?

🥺🥺🥺

[calm widget]

Lol

[north patio]

btw I deleted the config and reinstalled the mod and now the giants are back

we love to see it

[calm widget]

Noice

[brisk umbra]

It would be nice to have coroner integration with this mod

[serene sky]

corner mod

[pliant wind]

this is fixed now that zeekers fixed the earth worm bug

idk if it was directly related but i can confirm seeing old birds get eaten

[lilac crystal]

Hey, curious if anyone knows but does lethal level loader override the spawn configs for this mod?

[calm widget]

LLL has spawn configs?

[lilac crystal]

Yeah you can alter enemy spawns with it

[calm widget]

not too sure then tbh

[lilac crystal]

Less of an issue for this mod cus I can adjust spawns per moon thanks to the good config, but other mods don't have as nice a config (or any config)

[tall heron]

I believe Lll is additive but you need the true name for the enemies to add them there

[lilac crystal]

Yeah thats where Im struggling

[calm widget]

If you download devtools

[lilac crystal]

Internal names are a pain to find as I have to decompile each mod

[calm widget]

Press escape

Those should be the internal names

[lilac crystal]

Oh sweet

[calm widget]

Lethal quantities shows both internal and file names if you needed but u shouldn't need file names

[lilac crystal]

Yeah hopefully not

Thanks a lot though, I've been asking around all day to see if someone knows how to find internal names more easily lmao

[calm widget]

Lol

All good

Lemme know if u have any other questions I might know

[lilac crystal]

Sweet, will do

[lilac crystal]

Okay so from what I can tell LLL doesnt affect modded enemies spawns at all, only base game ones RIP

Meaning Im gonna have to code configs myself

Fun

[calm widget]

There are mods that have configs like that

But uh

If a monster mod doesn't have a config

You can let the creator know to contact me, most just have my cinfigs to begin with lol

Configs*

[lilac crystal]

Ill see if I can contact them in some way then

Some of the mods Im using don't have active dev anymore so Ill try doing it myself as well

[dreamy raft]

So can you config the spawn rates for the giants?

[calm widget]

Yes

[dreamy raft]

In The Giant Specimen's config or should I use a separate mod for it?

[calm widget]

Giant specimens config yes

[dreamy raft]

Alr thanks

[fading dawn]

@calm widget i just saw this on TikTok randomly

Hold on

[fading dawn]

Ah, there you are

[calm widget]

yep lmao

WIP new red wood giant closer to the original concept (thanks to rodrigo for cleaning up the original model) i redid a bit of it to make it closer to the original concept and sculpted and now im texturing it

you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

[dim roost]

wood

[ebon thistle]

sick work!

Good job

im glad this is the guy she is telling me not to worry about. he almost reaches to my knee cap.

Lmaooo

[restive terrace]

meatball monster

[dim roost]

if only certain weapons could OHKO certain entities. id love to deliver a devastating axe blow to a tree monster

[ebon thistle]

I assume you're going off the old textures as opposed the concept art?

unless this is not supposed to be what I made concept art for lol

[pure girder]

i just remembered there was kind of a snow/albino version and made it

i only went off the concept art didint even look at the old textures

[ebon thistle]

oh aight aight, ye the concept art is a bit old and kind of unclear

if you want I can send the old textures cuz they're a lil more accurate, but the main thing is there an eye motif

unsure if Xu still wants to go w that design though

here's the old one for reference, with the eye markings highlighted on the 2nd picture

[pure girder]

i do like the eyes

[ebon thistle]

I think MBD just mirrored the thing and did a few scratchy eyes along the bottom of the legs and arms

the point of the eyes in the original is to sort of create a gradient as they go down the limbs by increasing the amount that there are the closer to the end of the limb you go

[pure girder]

i do also like the wood grooves i kinda struggled making wood grooves

[ebon thistle]

but w redwood's old topology it was kinda hard lol

[ebon thistle]

oh yeh I think MBD has that in his substance painter

[pure girder]

i use the same program

im still pretty primitive to it so im not the best

[ebon thistle]

you do a p good job though!!! could always ask him :]

[pure girder]

ill fix the wood grooves and adjust the eyes a little everything else though i think is good

fuck i can't english

[ebon thistle]

on yours? yeh I think it looks p goode

a lot fleshier but I dig it

[pure girder]

looked like ketchup at one point

[craggy zealot]

the albino giant looks better

[pure girder]

made him more groovy

i keep forgetting to switch the eye color for the screenshot bruh

[ebon thistle]

yee looks really good, I like it a ton

you're doing a great job!

[pure girder]

under xu's request im adding a white gradient on the horns

okay now its actually finished i keep changing the lighting so it looks a bit different but its just added gradient

[dim roost]

i recommend lowering the shine. otherwise he looks like he had some wood finishing splashed on him.
this is looking magnificent

[pure girder]

its due to the substance painter lighting it'll look pretty good in lethal i have the bloom cranked up

[bleak shale]

that's zeus, right?

[ebon thistle]

if the concept is still the same it used to be a while back it's not related to zeus mode

[dim roost]

Soos

[pure girder]

nightmare nightmare

[ebon thistle]

bro is mad as fuck

[craggy zealot]

Are you just messing around and trying things, or are these going to be different variants of the redwood giant

[pure girder]

In unity

[spiral sphinx]

Interested on why there are two variants

[calm widget]

cuz fun

when does the red wood giant spawn?

[calm widget]

Usually before night

Before 6pmish

[blissful wolf]

holy this makes the redwood look scarier than it already was

[dusky orbit]

what is the behavior of Driftwood Giant? because sometimes they chase me and sometimes they don't

[ebon thistle]

do you have lethal phones

[dusky orbit]

no

maybe because I spawn it with Imperium?

RedWood Giant do not attack forest giant and old bird either

[dusky orbit]

but monster from other mod work just fine

[ebon thistle]

hmm

yeah, don't know what that's about

[sudden lichen]

I tried spawning the rolling giants from another mod with imperium and they never worked for me properly, so i wouldnt be surprised if the Driftwood giant also has issues when spawned that way

[dusky orbit]

there you go, Imperium it is

[pliant vault]

Is it me or is the blood effect gone?

[reef oxide]

the disrespect the redwood shows to the forest and driftwoods by lifting them up with one hand

[frosty vigil]

when ive used this mod. it was so cool

i saw the redwood giant

one of my favorite mods

100%

[restive terrace]

Your name is messed up my guy

[frosty vigil]

its my nature

[dreamy raft]

Eating waffles by name
Eating waffles by nature

[frosty vigil]

the other giants arent spawning

[calm widget]

theres only two, might be your config

[frosty vigil]

oh o

k

i thought there was more

[devout adder]

what if there would be a giant variant like Aloe, that would be called Foster Keeper. He doesnt kill you but instead takes you to the ship when he catches you and all your items would drop, causing him to be a nuisance.

sorry if this topic is not for taking ideas/suggestions but had to drop this 👀

[restive terrace]

Thats genius

[dim roost]

just need to make sure pathfinding can reach the ship

navmesh, too

[devout adder]

🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

[calm widget]

its fine lol, i just dont like making something thats not unique and fun to play with though

[calm widget]

what blood effect?

[devout adder]

i guess it is not unique since Aloe exists, im kind of inspired by his nature but honestly it occurred to me due to Forest and Foster being similar in spelling, still doesnt change the fact it is not unique but sounds like an addition to the family where there is the kind one yet his naivety/kindness is still a problem to you 👀

still thanks for the great mod

[serene sky]

Aloe Beara

its a bear

made of aloe

acts like a bear and destroys you

thats it

https://tenor.com/view/closing-the-door-viralhog-im-leaving-got-to-go-see-you-later-gif-27108414

[ebon thistle]

fairly easy to do from what I know, Ccode did it fairly easy w one of our enemies

[pliant vault]

I remember the red giant when ever he ate another giant, blood came poring out

[calm widget]

should still be there, itll be differing for each giant depending on forest giant, driftwood and radmech

[craggy zealot]

one day we will get the cactus giant
