what if leafboys had a small chance to break into your house, inhabit your walls, consume your groceries and slice your skull open with a rusty machete

fathom spire
#

what if leafboys had a small chance to hijack my computer and delete all the files and assets from the biodiversity github and then blow my head off

mint dew
#

what if leafboys had a small chance to publish boidiversity on thunderstore right now

#

#

The existence of leafboys implies that there are also leafgirls

The existence of biodiversity implies that there is also biosimilarity

#

what im saying is not every single biod enemy is in there, but a few of the full on enemies and a few critters are in there for this beta

empty condor
#

I have seen wich enemies and critters are in for the first realease

#

When you showed de Scan nodes

#

Sorry *bestiary

fathom spire
#

oh that's moreso the ones that have models with a decent enough pose to make that for them

#

2 or 3 of those aren't implemented in this first beta

#

you can see which ones'll be in the beta by checking the polaroids I posted

#

speaking of, just got home

#

got class in 20 mins but I'll begin testing anyway

we are definitely releasing without the bnnuy though so don't worry about that LMAO

But probably v60 will realease before

So like
Is the beta soon but full release not soon or beta not soon and full not soon and biod is never???

Biodiversity gets delayed by a month for everytime you as a human being and only you ask for it 😔

#

You've already delayed it by like 4 months smh

Thats so soon

Oh that's only for vector

mhm

#

whether you test it in our testing modpack or with your own is the same to me, but just make sure to import one of our local resources so that we can get better fedback

#

oh and also, make sure to take clips if possible, and definitely send logs when you're done

#

that's all we ask really heheh

#

we've spotted a few issues already, and our coders are gonna fix em today if possible.

hopefully this'll allow me to put more time towards my college studies by having other people but myself help us test

#

oh yeah, and make sure to drop the feedback in my DMs so I don't miss it immediately!

#

back to school work now, if you're interested drop me a dm and i'll make sure to answer sometime soon, thanks y'all!

no "Trolling" please!!!!!

current enemy AI methods seem to just have extra parameters

so that shouldn't break things

fathom spire
#

wow! real happy about that

dull needle
fallen furnace
#

would it? The new ones would just have the default values

dull needle
#

method's IL code would change

fallen furnace
#

unless it was transpiled I guess

dull needle
#

you'd need to rebuild to latest to detect the method

oh I meant more of them breaking after that

but yeah you're right about that

ye

they'd be rebuilding anyway since it's still WIP đŸ€­

Hello everyone! Me and bongo wanted to ask y'all which of these config formats you prefer!

First is a single line rarity/spawn weight config, while the second one is a multi line rarity/spawn weight config.

Bongo: uhh multi line is better for new people, its a lot harder to mess up the format (basically impossible when using a mod manager), code to handle it is much nicer, but it means that you need to launch the game once with a custom moon for it to show up in the config (ehh sorta a minor nitpick), its different to basically every other mod, it doesn't look that good in r2modman/thunderstore (i personally think config in general looks horrible in r2modman but meh).

Me: Single line is more comfortable to me personally and looks a lot prettier on TS (the mm I use), it's also the one everyone uses :P.

fallen furnace
#

Single line is more flexible and standard yeah

#

Perhaps set up a poll

fathom spire
#

can do yoiled

charred steppe
#

multi line is the more common approach, see LLL

fathom spire
fathom spire
#

but I can see the appeal of doing multi line if it's easier to do code-wise for bongo

fallen furnace
dull needle
#

Single line is the standard

stoic delta
#

just because other things do it doesn’t mean that’s the way it should be done

#

multi line prevents user error because they’ve missed a comma or something silly

dull needle
#

true

#

though, i think gale has started to kinda jump on that list action in their configs for single line stuff?

stoic delta
#

They have, it probably works quite well for that although I’m not sure how config definitions change between updates

#

If a new moon is added, I’m not sure how the default value is handled

#

Multi line would generate a new entry entirely at least

dull needle
#

yeah the way it works from what i've seen is that hte default is updated, the user's config is not

#

unless the mod creator terminates the user's config which would suck

stoic delta
#

Plus it’s not really a standard list value so maybe Gale doesn’t handle it proudly

#

It’s a list of strings, which are actually key value pairs

#

It also doesn’t say “acceptable values” so Gale probably picks it up as a single field

#

Therefore the internal type is probably just a string 💀

dull needle
#

yeah, though i think something to consider is whether a lot of configs will slow down load time by quite a bit, consider a minimum of like 10 moons that need to be visited, rather than 10 configs, it'd be 10 * number of added monsters

dull needle
#

what options do we even have DogeKEK

stoic delta
#

but not even List<String>

stoic delta
dull needle
#

fair lol

stoic delta
#

You can even keep rarity in its own config file so that it doesn’t bloat the other config options

dull needle
#

true, i forgot you can just keep making those

stoic delta
#

Additionally, number of config options doesn’t really slow things down.
You’re doing: comma value per moon
You can be doing: entry per moon

If anything it’s probably faster to load because you’re not parsing a string yourself and BepInEx is doing a number conversion for you

dull needle
#

hmm i heard that configs especially can take a while for bepin to load, i never looked into why but i didnt think parsing the string would be slower

stoic delta
#

I’m not sure but it would only be one additional file anyway đŸ€”

#

would be weird if it had any actual noticeable impact

dull needle
#

it was bad enough for some performance mod creators to try and cache or do stuff with it, i might look into it

stoic delta
#

Performance mod would always want to squeeze anything they can out

#

We could just be talking about file open/close buffer times which would be negligible if that’s the case

#

Read time would be increased but given each entry is kilobytes, it’s nothing

dull needle
#

yeah could be that, ig at the end of it multi-line is a lot more user friendly, though i'd prefer to see the mod take the list of all moons registered after LLL registers them rather than when u visit them, could get really slow and annoying

A kidnapper fox that kidnaps plushies

And it spawns with at least two plushies in its nest

And just harmlessly steals plushies out of players hands

#

should be a few more bugfixes and we'll be ready to go

#

Is Biod almost done?

fathom spire
#

technically speaking everything's been implemented for a few weeks now, but we've been bugfixing and doing other stuff to ensure it's not a mess on release heheh

#

there's just one or two things left that aren't functioning properly

dull needle
#

yeah technically i'm also like, done implementing 20 more new things in coderebirth, i just havent finished testing em

fathom spire
#

yeah I saw you talking about that in some other thread

dull needle
#

oh i was just making a sarcastic comment about how implemented == functioning, but yeah, it's a lot lol

fathom spire
#

oh yeah thats just an issue w my wording

#

everything is functioning properly, there's just some bugs that happen with certain things

dull needle
#

im less excited for biodiversity and just more excited for how far s1ckboy's gonna go with advertising, that's gonna be a fun show

gonna see billboards or smthn

charred steppe
# tight moat did he make a patch note post?

Mineshaft
Fixed an error with inverse teleporters when the mineshaft was present
Fixed an issue where a room could overlap with the mineshaft entrance room.
Fixed an issue where a specific corner could be walked through in the caves
Fixed an issue where the Maneater would freeze if it was crushed by a spike trap as a baby.
Fixed table props not being able to spawn in the mineshaft, which could dramatically reduce its scrap count.
Fixed an incorrect placement of a navigation blocker in the caves which prevented creatures from pathing through it.
Fixed an issue where players could drop the child down the elevator shaft. You monsters
Fixed a breaker box being able to spawn floating in the air
Scaled up the railing around the elevator to make it reasonably difficult to get ontop of the elevator from below.

The main entrance doorway can now spawn in a few different locations in the manor and mineshaft.

Coilheads
Slightly decreased the time coilheads need to spend moving before recharging and decreased the time they spend to recharge
Coilheads recharge timer counts down 80% slower when they are pushing on a doorway (or otherwise stuck) than when they are actually moving, even if they are not being looked at.
Coilheads eventually enter recharge mode if they are inside the elevator.

Misc
Soccer balls should now collide with objects in the ship
When turrets begin shooting they are now audible to enemies that can hear
Fixed an issue where pocketing walkie talkies and spray paint in your inventory could cause other items such as jetpacks or flashlights to begin draining battery or activate when being placed.
Tried a fix for a visual bug for non-host players, where the Maneater would transform and then briefly teleport.
The Maneater can eat scrap which belongs to hoarding bugs; this would cause hoarding bugs to become enraged forever. Now the Maneater can still eat a hoarding bug's scrap but only if this Maneater has been encountered by players.

I adore that there was a bug where maneaters could piss off hoarders and Zeekers just went "yeh that's a feature, I'm just coding in comedic timing now"
