Skull really got that bee energy

[sudden canopy]

Yes I uh

Didn’t have time to polish

[pallid river]

Sureee

[acoustic berry]

don't polish me more

[sudden canopy]

How about you polish your wacky weather machine

I think it’s missing a couple screws

The dial is stuck at fog

[acoustic berry]

you didn't 😯

[sudden canopy]

But like literally I rendered the video put it into LC and my drive pressed f8 and had medal auto clip the game and left my house

[acoustic berry]

by design 🤭

your steam username will always have fog, guaranteed

[sudden canopy]

Fog mode config

[acoustic berry]

you're welcome to do it yourself 🤭

zeekers made that a fuckton easier in v50

[sudden canopy]

How are you 80 thousand more doing to the move to v50

[acoustic berry]

How are you 80 thousand more doing to the move to v50
😳 🤔

umm

good?

weathertweaks beta is already ported, terminalformatter as well

rest is working without issues

guess what? the weather desync is even worse in vanilla now 😆

[sudden canopy]

What

Weathertweaks mandatory mod??

[acoustic berry]

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-among-us-astronaut-space-betrayal-gif-23836476

i'm thinking about decoupling the syncing from the weather calculations

but nah, too much hassle for nothing

[pallid river]

what do you mean decouple? how can it be not decoupled?

[acoustic berry]

i mean the mod that only syncs the weather

not the whole shebang i'm doing

is it really needed tho?

do i want to cannibalize my own creation?

[sudden canopy]

Not necessary

[acoustic berry]

well that's what i thought as well

but if LLL will still have desynced dungeons

i'm afraid it will be needed

[sudden canopy]

If v50 LLL doesn’t work like a brand new Honda civic I’m gonna force @pallid river to make LLL himself in Davinci Resolve

[acoustic berry]

lol 😆

[serene kelp]

No size limit itll just lag when loading

H.265 probably best too

Also check your game brightness settings, can change things drastically.

Someone sent me an ultrawide mp4 a while ago but i never got to testing, will probably get squished horizontally i dunno. Stick to 16:9 aspect should be safe, 1920x1080

[sudden canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/traewockhardt-sad-jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-16591014784735052511

[serene kelp]

Ideally you could use loaforcs for the music, then the mp4 could be silent and only as long as it needs to loop

[sudden canopy]

Was thinking that, however I I’m lazy and don’t want to learn how to do anything new, but that is probably what I’m going to have to do

[serene kelp]

Its not too hard really, If you check the list of mods using emblem, look at the deps list for soundapi, they will have good example .json files

[sudden canopy]

I mean yea probably

[pallid river]

Just pull the json files from LR and cut out what you dont need lol

[sudden canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/eh-meh-jim-jim-halpert-the-office-gif-25317293

Sounds easy enough I’ll do it

[pallid river]

as expected

[sudden canopy]

@pallid river thank you for volunteering to help me design my loading screen variants

[pallid river]

I did?

[sudden canopy]

Yea

Right now

When I made it up

[keen oar]

@serene kelp do you think there would be a way to add a intro like the one lethal company has as its booting up but as a mp4?

[serene kelp]

Oh boy! Damn, that is certainly a tall request, Could be possible, but also any other modder can take this on as I haven't attempted to even go near the intro stuff

[keen oar]

one of my friends made a really cool intro and thought it could be replaced with this

[serene kelp]

Ya the issue i'm seeing is that the intro videos aren't even part of a scene, so it would be a differant implementation thatn what I've been working on. Unless of course it could be injected right before the Online/LAN selection. However there are mods that skip this stuff rendering it all un-used

Another option would be to simply add the video right after the Online/LAN selection inside the mainmenu scene, there aren't any mods that skip the main menu

I'm having fun testing stuff right now

[keen oar]

but would there be the text and the logo stuff on the screen when the intro is playing

[serene kelp]

That would be the trick, to hide all of that, and of course pause any audio that might be happening, then start it all so that's more complexity than desired

Best would be to slip into the other spash screen stuff, or the start of the initoptions scene

Then release it as it's own mod

Anyone can do this, I'm going to be busy for a while converting all my config options to be updateable/toggleable without restarting

[serene kelp]

Still trying to track down why the main and load screens have differant rectransforms on the header after resetting almost every setting I can think of

[serene kelp]

Literally just spent half the day getting the backgrounds to toggle on/off when making changes to the configs live. Slideshows were really being terrible to work with

[sudden canopy]

https://medal.tv/games/lethal-company/clips/28pqarGwrF1ct8

:(

removed the menu jumpscare @solar tendon

[sudden canopy]

You.

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-rider-pointing-you-bet-you-are-mine-look-at-me-gif-18747418

You said it feels like it’s missing something

[solar tendon]

Ngl I thought it was cool tho

I liked the animation

[sudden canopy]

Yea however

[solar tendon]

Will there still be like a cool intro animation or nah?

Even if it's like a small/slow one?

[sudden canopy]

Idk

Because

What I did is split the music and animation

So they take less space and load faster

Rn I just have a 5 second video that loops

Which is much smaller and allows me to even make it 4k

So it scales down beautifully on 1440p and 1080p

[solar tendon]

A 4k menu for a game with graphics that are almost the same as doom is wild to me

[sudden canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/you-are-right-sigma-sigma-black-guy-gif-13337415545342464736

[sudden canopy]

@solar tendon but yea there’s no way I can do a intro animation without the animation itself being as long as the audio

Unless

I am mistaken

[solar tendon]

Can't you do a loop like a loop that starts after like a specific audio is done?

[sudden canopy]

And I can use the slideshow feature to play a video at the start, and then swap to another one and have that loop endlessly @serene kelp

Nope

Emblem only handles the visuals

Or visuals + audio combined

[serene kelp]

I'm playing with loading text and and version stuff right now, would you guys like to have a left/center/right option for the version text?

[sudden canopy]

Yes

Also idk if you already have it but do you have a new line feature

/n didn’t seem to work for me

[serene kelp]

Shoot ya I can look into a linebreak

[sudden canopy]

Thx

[serene kelp]

really there should be something that works already, just have no idea what it would be

[worn fulcrum]

It's already there

you mean like this right?

[serene kelp]

Does that work for loading text?

Nvm ya it works I'll add it to the config descriptions

[worn fulcrum]

Cool

[serene kelp]

Would you guys like some sortof devmode? I'm thinking to hide most of the Info logs unless devmode is on, also include a hotkey that will toggle the loadscreen

[pallid river]

Just a hot-reload would work pretty well

[serene kelp]

mmk

[sudden canopy]

I just used lethal config, and go in and out of saves

[sudden canopy]

Me when the genuine wrong slash set me up for failure

[serene kelp]

You can also use UnityExplorer to turn on the loadscreen but that's more technical and you gotta find it in the object tree

I'm super close to getting all the configs to update in real time, then onto new features

Also I think slideshow transitions are not going to be optional, just the transition time

Which hotkey should be the loadscreen? I was thinking ` , \ or *

[sudden canopy]

Im being legit bullied

First of all

Im using the correct slash

Is it literally because of the brackets

I will sob violently

second of all

its refusing to center

please hold as I tear the config apart

ok

for some reason

it now works

however

https://tenor.com/view/ryan-gosling-blade-runner2049-defeat-sad-disappointed-gif-17817916

it's

imperium

wtf

[worn fulcrum]

Lmao

[serene kelp]

Uh oh, another mod for me to try to fix compatability, dayumm

[sudden canopy]

highly likely this is one of the "Mi6k touches a mod and it fucking explodes" moment

[serene kelp]

No guarantess that things won't get shifted a bit with v1.3.0, I've refactored almost the entire mod

[worn fulcrum]

They said Imperium is not intended to be compatible with other mods

[sudden canopy]

um

i need big brains

formatting

[worn fulcrum]

Stop with those brackets first of all

[sudden canopy]

im gonna put you in a bracket

[keen oar]

mine is better

[keen oar]

joeBeast

[serene kelp]

Wow, just got the \ key to swap between loading and main scenes for y'all. That was a lot of screwing around lol.

[pallid river]

Could you add a debug option to prevent/delay the game from loading so we have more time to see the loading screens?

[serene kelp]

Ya that's what the \ will do, just swaps to load screen with as much time as you like

Probably release 1.3.0 tomorrow, found a couple edge case bugs but its only with the live editing of configs, they go away after game restart

Lethal Config integration will need to be in 1.3.1 along with version alignment left/center/right

[worn fulcrum]

bruhh the spam

[serene kelp]

Ya its a constant battle

[worn fulcrum]

there is an issue with LobbyCompatibility too

I think

lol, let me test again

[worn fulcrum]

scanline shader causing this issue

sorry if you already know that, lol

[serene kelp]

First ive heard of it, the mod is called "lobbycompatability"? Does it only happen when scanlines are enabled?

For Logging im thinking of adding a config option to turn the Info logs off beyond the normal initialization and errors

[worn fulcrum]

yes only when scanline enabled

[serene kelp]

Thats ao weird, thanks for the report, Ill look into it. Shouldn't be that difficult to diagnose

[serene kelp]

What is the bug? Just laggy selection?

[worn fulcrum]

there should be a drop down menu

[serene kelp]

Ya I found it, might take a bit

[worn fulcrum]

cool

[serene kelp]

Will be fixed in next release, forgot to turn ZWrite off in the shader

[serene kelp]

Love that beautiful config watcher

[serene kelp]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/
@worn fulcrum lobbycompatability fix for you
@delicate jungle typed text works on second load for you

God I hope nothing breaks with this update, i'll be away from pc all day tomorrow. Please post detailed bug reports.

[pallid river]

Borders stopped working after restarting the game

[delicate jungle]

I’ll start making progress on my menus soon. I’ve been working on some bts but not updated them yet

Still need to work on them

[upbeat anvil]

omg thats beautiful

[serene kelp]

Looks like you have hide set to true

[sudden canopy]

JACUJ SKILL ISSUE??????

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-black-guy-shocked-gif-27437284

[pallid river]

Why it gotta be hide instead of enable like the others

[sudden canopy]

Me when the reading comprehension

@pallid river imma need ur help with balancing soon

[serene kelp]

Ya i thought about reversing but then everyone would have to update their configs

[sudden canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-crawling-tired-gif-11883184

[serene kelp]

Has anyone tried out the \ to see the loading screen? I think it's pretty slick

[keen oar]

whats that

[serene kelp]

just try pressing \ at the main menu with version 1.3

[keen oar]

I cant rn can you send a vid

pls

[serene kelp]

It just shows the loading screen so you don't have only a few seconds to tweak things

[keen oar]

oh

also

what dose slideshow do

[serene kelp]

If you have multiple background images it will fade between them

[keen oar]

oh nice

[serene kelp]

it works on any of the 4 images actually, just gotta have your image prefixs correct

also works on loading text but load text can type the text out if thats enabled

[sudden canopy]

dark

im dying

[serene kelp]

Just got version text alignment working so that'll be in 1.3.1

[sudden canopy]

pull me out of davinci my lord its painful

[serene kelp]

I've never used davinci

[sudden canopy]

just to double check that im not a moron

for loading screens

you can have mp4

right

[serene kelp]

Yes, loading background

[sudden canopy]

im gonna hang myself give me an hour

[serene kelp]

Oof

[serene kelp]

Anyone got any feature requests? I've seemed to have forgotten them all

[keen oar]

make version text work with advance company

[serene kelp]

Can't do AC compatibility, theres way too much aggresive obfuscation goin on.

[keen oar]

pls

spongesad

pain

[serene kelp]

I'm not smart enough for that, maybe try watermark remover I dunno, all of the gameobjects have randomized hash names and there's a coroutine running that will undo any changes you try to make to them

[keen oar]

wdym try watermark remover

[serene kelp]

You could just add your own text to the background image as a workaround

[keen oar]

another mod dose it and it works

[serene kelp]

which one?
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/FlowerWater/WatermarkRemover/

[keen oar]

no

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/mrov/MainMenuVersion/

it just dose not let you change the color

[serene kelp]

Someone DM me latest AC version, I hate installing it but worth a shot

[keen oar]

I have it

but I need to send it here because its over 25 mb

well

[keen oar]

check dms

[serene kelp]

Version Number does work

[keen oar]

?

[serene kelp]

You just can't mess with the logo stuff

[keen oar]

use advance company logo replacement and use this config for version string

one sec

just make the logo replacement a blank photo

[serene kelp]

Still works

[sudden canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/iron-man-iron-man-hammer-iron-hammer-robert-downey-robert-downey-jr-gif-15959050

Dark Im cooking

[serene kelp]

Hells yes

Don't forget you can edit the cfg file in real time now, don't need to constantly restart to see changes

[sudden canopy]

I have no clue if its good I like threw in 50 tbs of paprika and garlic powder

[serene kelp]

No such thing as too much garlic

[sudden canopy]

ok it loaded

moment of truth

holy

fuck

its "working"

gotta make it pretty now

uh oh

FUCK

https://tenor.com/view/will-gif-2553459115951539861

@serene kelp ok i've let you down

let me showcase what i was trying to do

So this is my main menu loop

Its 5 seconds so i can have it be 4k and high quality, while the music is handled by loafap-

FUCK

I FORGOT IT WAS 256

https://tenor.com/view/cry-guy-listening-to-music-crying-music-music-sad-gif-1436056687197982910

anyway

this was supposed to be the loading screen transition

https://medal.tv/games/lethal-company/clips/28Y25jw1LAGvTU/d1337MI3vqPe?invite=cr-MSx3dnQsMTQ3NDQxNTIs

[worn fulcrum]

I wish I had the skill to make something like that

[sudden canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/traewockhardt-sad-jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-16591014784735052511

[worn fulcrum]

[sudden canopy]

skill?

i have no skill

i just toss enough ingredients into a pot with a big enough fire and hope something cooks

[worn fulcrum]

If you have no skill, what am I then

[sudden canopy]

a hero who hasnt spent 4 hours in davinci resolve cooking something that doesnt function as intended

[worn fulcrum]

I honestly think the one with the jumpscare opening is more cool

[sudden canopy]

well

I cant do that

Because in order for the main menu to loop properly

I either

render the jumpscare with the audio and make a 5 minute long 4k video

or

have the jumpscare loop every 5 seconds

[worn fulcrum]

ahh, so thats the problem

[serene kelp]

Looks sick!

[sudden canopy]

since my idea doesnt work, what would you recommend instead

[serene kelp]

I'm not folllowing what idea didn't work?

[sudden canopy]

this right here

the transition loading screen just

literally gets stompt on

because i didnt think it would load so fast

[serene kelp]

I wouldn't worry too much, once you get a buttload of mods in the pack, the loading screen will get much much longer

[sudden canopy]

I have 190

my modpack swole

[serene kelp]

Still loads that ffast eh

[sudden canopy]

yea

or

[sudden canopy]

the video starts to play

stops 1/4 way in

and just stops

and then you load into the game

[serene kelp]

That's really strange, to ttest and see what's going on I'd need a profile code of the pack after the theme has been uploaded and referenced

[serene kelp]

One would think your load times would be way longer

[serene kelp]

Oh boy oh boy now we cookin with gas

[worn fulcrum]

what effect should I use to make a logo like LC? there's a glitch effect, right? and what else? what font? I want to make my own logo but idk how

[serene kelp]

Personally I stick with the original logo and change stuff around it

[sudden canopy]

I got a clip for you

https://medal.tv/games/lethal-company/clips/292a3CUMB73WoT/d1337kS0A5gR?invite=cr-MSxQQ2IsMTQ3NDQxNTIs

about my loading time / screen

[serene kelp]

Hmm eh, that don't look bad tho at all, try getting the typed text working, see if the text continues to be typed right to the end

[sudden canopy]

doesnt the typed text need me to enable slideshow

[serene kelp]

Add multiple loading texts separated by |, Then enable typed text and then add LoadText to the slideshow section list

[sudden canopy]

aint working chief

uh

hold on

[serene kelp]

That looks right to me

[sudden canopy]

Hold on

Since my video is 5 seconds long I gotta cut it in half

[serene kelp]

Then use the backslash to see the loadscreen

[sudden canopy]

Well

hypothetically it "Works"

just not in practice

just like the background

https://medal.tv/games/lethal-company/clips/292zlZWBtE7612/d13378iK6OoZ?invite=cr-MSxoRjYsMTQ3NDQxNTIs

But when you load it, A. it loads too fast or B. freezes maybe

[serene kelp]

Weird.. ill have to dig into that more later, im in a course all day

[sudden canopy]

oof

Ok yea the loading text feature

does not load fast enough

[keen void]

I had never seen the original footage of that meme

[serene kelp]

Maybe my idea about loading might not work out.. might be able to inject an artificial delay of some kind optionally

[keen oar]

it works

but

[keen oar]

it says v50 modded over the original thing

[serene kelp]

Wtf, didn't do that for me while testing, are you still using the other version text mod?

[keen oar]

I uninstalled it

It might be advance company

[keen oar]

when I have the other version string mod and set it to no text it removes the v50 modded

[serene kelp]

Ya emblem doesn't touch the old one besides hiding it, the othermod modifys the original. Try toggling the bool enable see if that helps

[serene kelp]

How many other unrelated mods are enabled?

[keen oar]

I don’t know but I have 154

[serene kelp]

That's probably why I can't recreate your issue, try a new profile with just AC and emblem and see if the bug persists

From there you can add mods back until one recreates the issue, let me know which one it is and I can try to find a workaround

[sudden canopy]

@serene kelp Do you know about the retro shader + lcbettersaves cant delete save issue?

[serene kelp]

Damnit, no i did not

[sudden canopy]

Yea so using lcbettersaves i couldnt delete a save, i had to disable the actual retro effect in order to do that

[serene kelp]

yep lol, kk I'll check that out tomorrow

for now enjoy the new glitchy logo effect

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/

glitchylogo chooses a group of random effects from a list, then applies groups of effects in rapid succession after a random delay

Pretty stoked about this one actually

private IEnumerator GlitchCycle()
{
    while (true)
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(0.5f, 5f)); // Random delay before applying effects

        // Determine the number of waves in this cycle
        int numberOfWaves = Random.Range(2, 7);

        for (int wave = 0; wave < numberOfWaves; wave++)
        {
            // For each wave, determine how many effects to apply
            int effectsCount = Random.Range(1, 7);
            List<IEnumerator> effects = new List<IEnumerator>();

            for (int i = 0; i < effectsCount; i++)
            {
                effects.Add(ApplyRandomEffect());
            }

            // Start all effects in this wave simultaneously
            foreach (var effect in effects)
            {
                StartCoroutine(effect);
            }

            // Optional additional delay between waves, if needed
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.04f);

            // Restore to original before next wave starts
            RestoreOriginalProperties();
        }
    }
}

Also, Emblem just broke 100kb of code, so that's a milestone!

[sudden canopy]

YIPEE!!!!!

[sudden canopy]

in practice

what it looks like

is someone gmod prop physics glitching my logo

[worn fulcrum]

brooo the music is fucking dope fr, it's been looping in my head for like 2 days now

[sudden canopy]

unregistered heat

[worn fulcrum]

the glitch stop when you go to settings and lobby

but it comes back when you go to the main menu after joining a lobby

[worn fulcrum]

is it possible to used mp4 for logo?

[sudden canopy]

For the

Like

Header

[worn fulcrum]

yeah, thats what I mean

[sudden canopy]

Nah

[timber mural]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[serene kelp]

Ahahahaha, wow this is great. Ill maybe add a couple more glitches that move the positioning around, was having trouble getting it to return to normal

[serene kelp]

Right! Mmk, gimme a few days

[timber mural]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[serene kelp]

Ill have a look but this doesn't seem so bad since the logo should be covered up anyway

[worn fulcrum]

I mean when you go back from setting menu/lobby search, the header stop glitching(in the main menu). but it work again after you leaving a game/save file

If you try to change the size or position of the header in real time while Glitch is enabled, the change just applies for a split second and just resets

[serene kelp]

Mmk ya ill work on that, its because the glitch needs to store the original properties so it has a default position and sizing

[worn fulcrum]

what is "mmk" mean?

[serene kelp]

Ok

[worn fulcrum]

owhhh, mmk

that's it for today, thanks for the update

[serene kelp]

This looks great!

[serene kelp]

Fixed for next update

[serene kelp]

This will also be fixed next update

[serene kelp]

Do you just mean that you gotta click farther away from the button than normal?

[serene kelp]

After a bit of research I've determined there is no easy fix for the mouse being slighly off the wrong position. Could attempt to make a math correction, but then different screen sizes will be better/worse since we'd be calculating based on distance from the center of screen. Best possible option would be to reduce the intensity of the distortion effect to make the issue less pronounced.

What I'll do is play with the scaling on the lens distortion so the mouse positioning isn't offset nearly as bad close to the edges of the screen, that should make menus a little easier to use while still getting the distortion effect.

[serene kelp]

Here's the update
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/

[serene kelp]

What kind of colorblindness? I was thinking of making an option to recolor the red submenu backgrounds. The way it might work is you would pick a main color and the 3 or 4 halftones like border and background would auto-calculate themselves. That way the feature wouldn't need like 5 config entries.

[pallid river]

That’d be great

just found out you can do this with version number

[serene kelp]

Injecting color tags? That's how we recolor most text since zeekers uses an orange color material

[worn fulcrum]

yeah, I used that in TerminalStuff, didn't know it works with others too

[sudden canopy]

Oh ur so right

[proud pendant]

I'm not a modder so I feel more confused than most here, how come my images aren't full screen?
also would be neat if the highlight over the menu fonts had a transparency option like a slider
not sure if that could be done but would be dope lol

[serene kelp]

Background images only stretch to the vertical height, you gotta give it a wider image. If you turn on Experimental radiant taper, the edges will at least blend with the background color. The highlight background colour should have an alpha value as part of the color setting, it would be the last number of the 4 so 255,255,255,0.5 would be 50% transparent white

[proud pendant]

I'll have to mess with it more when I get home

[serene kelp]

I'm assuming no one ever uses LAN mode eh? i'll probably just stick to normal online menus

These submenus are wild.. sooo many objects to recolor

[delicate jungle]

Btw i havent really told you before but i saw this issue for a while now - version number colouring : if the alpha is left for the default 0.65 or whatever number it is, it wont change colour, only if its exactly 1

Well i didnt try other numbers only default or 1 (still only talkin about the alpha - last number)

[serene kelp]

Can you re-explain that please lol

[delicate jungle]

Yeah imma show pic what i mean later when im at my pc

[inner sierra]

how do i make sure the .mp4 background is shared with the profile code?

cause it just shows up black when brought to new profiles

[green crest]

Put it in your config folder

[sudden canopy]

Pst

@delicate jungle

u awake

[serene kelp]

Read the instructions file that is in the emblem zip, you need to upload your theme to the thunderstore. Using config folder will not work because profile codes have a file size limit and an mp4 will easily go over that.

[inner sierra]

yeah my bad, i got it figured out now, thanks

[serene kelp]

It is in the queue now

[keen oar]

what dose

[serene kelp]

Recoloring the submenus

[keen oar]

oh

[keen oar]

nice

[serene kelp]

There's a lot to do though not sure if I'll finish this weekend or not

Feels like the old MySpace days trying to retheme something with so many nested objects

[serene kelp]

Wow, even zeekers used this hacky way to change the text color

No wonder I couldn't adjust using any in game properties

[serene kelp]

There's literally a color property on everything yet half the UI has inline color tags all set to orange

[serene kelp]

Found a workaround, something is adding the color tags after initialization so we will just fight tags with more tags. Damnit.

[green crest]

Well with ffmpeg it's very easy to get below the limit. Especially since the resolution is very low
ffmpeg -i toencode.mov -b:v 500k -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf scale=-1:720 encoded.mp4

[serene kelp]

I think its 20mb total max, so a couple images, low quality video and you are already past that. Just because you can do something doesn't ya should. Config folder system is designed for text files only

[pallid river]

Dunno, my emblem folder is 12MB and there's a minute worth of 1080p video in there

Almost two, actually

[green crest]

I have à video of several minutes and I have plenty of room left. It's exactly what the config folder was for

[pallid river]

Having it in plugins is still easier. No risk by doing it that way

[green crest]

What do you mean? Nothing get shared in the plugin folder. Unless you are talking about releasing a mod which is out of the question

[pallid river]

Why out of the question? If you don't want other people to access it you could always send the files

[green crest]

Privacy concerns, and pollution. 80% of Thunderstore is just things that should not be there

I am sending the files through the config folder already, it would be very cumbersome for people not used to technicalities and multiply that by the number of people and time you update a profile... impossible

[pallid river]

Thunderstore is specifically for sharing, nobody will burn you by the stake if you upload a package for your emblem

Unless there's straight up personal information there

[green crest]

I don't do what I criticise usually

And yes there are privacy concerns as a 2nd point

[pallid river]

I guess it could be solved by having emblem check the configs folder for a modified Emblem folder if one is not found in plugins

[green crest]

No need, it already works perfectly

[pallid river]

So there was never a problem..?

[green crest]

Yes? Never said there was

[serene kelp]

Just upload with the tag of AssetReplacements instead of mods. It won't appear in the main list

[pallid river]

Apparently there's some level of personal info in their emblem

[serene kelp]

All good then whatever floats your boat, Emblem isn't designed to protect stuff like that. The target audience is modpack and theme makers

[sudden canopy]

your days of chillin are over

[serene kelp]

Just want y'all to know that getting the confirm/back buttons to have custom colors took me like 4 hours of screwing around trying to override the completely borked method that was used by the original game.

Next task will be that godawful pink tint being added to Public/Friendsonly buttons

It's more pronounced when using a white themecolor

[molten stump]

Anyway to prevent this from happening? Or is that normal?

(Loading video is only playing for a couple of seconds then freezes)

[serene kelp]

No fix currently, the loading screen isn't really a thing we can adjust the timing for, just the way unity is setting the game up

Try setting up the typed loading text slideshow and see if the text continues to type out during that pause, might give a little bit more engagement right before dropping into the ship

[molten stump]

Will try, thanks

[serene kelp]

Finally got the Public/Private buttons rethemed, shouldn't have needed 60 lines of code, but that's what worked in the end

[molten stump]

@serene kelp Do you know why this happens?

[keen oar]

would there be a way to change the text on the bottom "PUBLIC means your game will be visible on the server list for all to see."

[serene kelp]

I haven't seen that one before, need more info, are u using AC?

[serene kelp]

Yeah that's next on the list, working top to bottom

[keen oar]

k

[molten stump]

I am not, but maybe it's because of Watermark remover.

[serene kelp]

BUt not the actual text just the color

[serene kelp]

more than likely ya, I haven't tested with that

[molten stump]

Yup that was it

[serene kelp]

Probably don't need watermark remover anyway unless theres something you want to use I can do a compatability

[molten stump]

Yeah that's what I just realized

[molten stump]

Is this setup correctly? Because that doesn't change anything

text is not typing

[brisk sluice]

That loading screen is dope. Is it public or custom made?

[molten stump]

Stolen from here
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/GhostsDevelopers/TheCruelCompany/
Which just took a video from someone

idk who made that animation orignially

[brisk sluice]

Oh cool. Thank you!

[serene kelp]

Try having multiple strings in your load text separated by |
Also you can test the load screen by pressing \

[serene kelp]

Progress

[delicate jungle]

Niiice

[serene kelp]

Alright only took two days to finish the server box:

I'm thinking the setttings can go into the Menu Colors section

Not sure yet if we will re-use the existing Font/Highlight colors or stick with the auto calculated colors

[delicate jungle]

for sure it can

[delicate jungle]

lookin great!

[serene kelp]

LAN stuff finished

List is growing

[serene kelp]

Almost done Credits, I've removed the background behind the title, think this looks better

[keen oar]

Could you make the screen curve thing compatible with AC

[serene kelp]

The retro tv thing?

I don't think that's possible, AC still has aggresive counter measures

Got the scroll bar finally

[delicate jungle]

im so hyped

[serene kelp]

Welll... next is the Lobby list, which is going to be a lot of work

NVM, its the save game list next, damnit then all the mods that mess with submenus too

[delicate jungle]

You looked at lobby list and said fk it i dont want to do that now ? 😂

You are doing an awesome work! Take your time!!

[serene kelp]

Ya, building all the little helper methods I need to do the lobby list right. Probably be easier if I were to patch the original methods instead of doing more work later though, oh well too late now

Partial success on the save files

[inner sierra]

Love the cooking that's happening 🔥

[serene kelp]

Im thinking the existing menu color configs will work for all buttons like Confirm/Back etc. then the theme color will be for borders, backgrounds, plain text.

Not sure yet whether to apply it toboth toggleable buttons and hover buttons which is the two categories ive come up with for behavior

[sudden canopy]

I still need to

1. Figure out why my loading screen video wont play (I tested it with other videos, very short low quality videos and they still freeze)
2. Figure out why the loading text doesn't work all the time / also freezes

[molten stump]

I asked here a couple days ago about the videos freezing and was told that theres nothing we can do about it

[sudden canopy]

Fuck

[sudden canopy]

What about the loading text

[molten stump]

Well it freezes at the same time the video does doesnt it?

[sudden canopy]

Yes, but what if you disable the typing feature

[molten stump]

Text is not showing up at all for you?

[sudden canopy]

It’s very hit or miss

Sometimes it shows up

Sometimes it shows up and transitions immediately

[molten stump]

Works fine for me, I disabled slideshow and typing text

[sudden canopy]

I’ll try again when I get home

[serene kelp]

Maybe in the future I can figure out how to delay the load screen a bit but that would be interfering with things Id rather not be playing with

[molten stump]

Well the best thing would be to make the video play while it's loading, but I get that this may be hard to accomplish

[timber mural]

[serene kelp]

Made some progress tonight on the hover buttons, refactoring tomorrow

[serene kelp]

Nice clean buttons finally

[serene kelp]

Dear lord, the amount of effort it took to change the color on this Rebind Controllers text was absurd

[delicate jungle]

you'd think its just a simple 1 liner to change colours ... i appriciate the effort you're putting into such small details!

[serene kelp]

The keybinds load after runtime, so we gotta put a listener on a button and wait for the list to be populated then go in and change the color

[delicate jungle]

Jesus Christ on a motorbike

[serene kelp]

All the menus are messed up in some way, almost ready for the server list

[serene kelp]

Dear lord, after spending a week on this I've finally found where zeekers hid the damn inline tags
Now to go back through and simplify a whole bunch of stuff. wow.

[serene kelp]

Yepp, that was a rabbit hole. Can't override styles because it's global and will affect in-game stuff.
However, this rabbit hole did find a fix for the weird glitchy buttons all over the UI. Plus the code got tighter.
No longer need to use regex to replace colors. Nice.

[worn fulcrum]

why is my theme become like this after I download it? the emblem folder just missing, how to fix this?

[serene kelp]

Send me Thunderstore link and a zip from before upload probably mussed something in instructions

[worn fulcrum]

[worn fulcrum]

Ohh I didn't know that, I changed someone else's theme so I just need to upload it 😅

[serene kelp]

Ahhh yep, we have had a bit of back and forth trying to figure out the best folder format and this is where the project settled

[serene kelp]

Still cleaning up buttons, got the Friends-only text to behave proper tho

LAN mode looks better too

[delicate jungle]

lol

[serene kelp]

Right now it's the saves panel thats kicking my butt

Gotta figure out how it knows the last selected save slot

[serene kelp]

Jeeeebus, only took literally all day but just got the remembered save slots to be properly highlighted on boot up.

Aaaand we are over 500 lines of code yet still not complete

[delicate jungle]

Oh geez…

[serene kelp]

Getting brighter...

[delicate jungle]

After you are done with recolouring stuff do you have something in mind what you’d want to do next? (Not just for this mod but maybe a next project?)

[serene kelp]

Gotta finish recoloring, Lobbies, Delet confirm pages, i think theres one more thing, then attaching the config for mainmenu colors to the submenu buttons.
Beyond that could look into in-game menus, I think there's only a few
Also gonna be a ton of compatability fixes with conflicting menu mods like bettersaves etc

[delicate jungle]

Well yeah anything that touches UI im guess will have some sort of compatibility issue 🤔 guessing HotbarRD would be the same in that regard

Well thats an ingame stuff but maybe those mods would be affected too?

[serene kelp]

I'm really trying to stay in one lane but we will see, I won't do much testing with other mods, will just wait for people to complain

Hopefully all the really hard theming stuff is done, can't wait to test live updates, damn

[delicate jungle]

I’ll test them out for you

Well some that i use

Tho i havent really played the game in the last two months 😂 just modding everyday

[serene kelp]

Same, I've barely picked up one piece of scrap, this mod is my videogame

Another panel done

[sudden canopy]

my hero

[serene kelp]

Found another

Not sure if I wanna touch this one

The list is growing still

Just not sure what to do with the dude since he's stuck being red, could attempt to tint him

Little better

If I just make him partially transparent the red is less noticeable

Nah, gonna leave him like this

The suits are orange anyway, still works

Well... damnit, only one menu left and it's literally the worst one :/

[serene kelp]

Ya this'll be a bit lol

[serene kelp]

Yaaaa, what a pain

The list dynamically updating is not my favorite

[worn fulcrum]

damn you are going wild

[serene kelp]

Fingers crossed for releasing the update in a few days

[serene kelp]

More progress, no more delay before coloring happens, we are now recoloring as items are loaded in

[serene kelp]

Always a curveball with this stuff damn

mmk maybe a little too bright

[serene kelp]

Wow, another panel got done that I din't even know about, noice

[serene kelp]

More progress, the join button vertical alignment is still borked but it was like that in vanilla

Server names are just vile, maybe thats an idea for a future mod, to clean up the default text strings, make them funnier.

[timber mural]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[serene kelp]

This recoloring is basically writing an entirely new mod

Got the scrollbar, no idea why it was setup different than the bar in credits but that's how it is

[serene kelp]

Tag input got that too

Not like anyone uses tags but whatevs

Challenge moon box got done too, now with eye bleeding slime

[serene kelp]

Just the dropdown left

[serene kelp]

New list of menu items being recolored

[serene kelp]

Two colors left to find

[serene kelp]

Good oppourtunity to adjust the pallette a bit

I'd say this is an improvement at least

Yeah I think this decent for now

[delicate jungle]

Niiice! Btw sry i couldnt test it for you didnt have time to be near my pc really.. ._.

[serene kelp]

I can send you an updated version

just cleaning up some straggler things

Damnit, just found another menu I missed, arggggghhh

Luckily most of the tools to recolor this have been built

Made tip text brighter

[serene kelp]

Here we go, this one has its own challenges but the easy stuff is done

Got the scroll bar

Dropdown got that too

Now the dynamically updating list is going to be quite difficult, gonna take a break and come back to it

Y'all need to send me a list of mods you use that mess with the main menus, the two I know of are LobbyCompatability and LCBetterSaves

[delicate jungle]

Well theres one issue we are facing rn

If you use LR or any kind of audio mod that has menu sfx in it it’d overwrite our empty sfx that silences the OG menu music

So LR music would play and the background music would also play at the same time :/

[pallid river]

Even if you disableLRs music?

[delicate jungle]

havent really messed around with the soundapi to try to do that not sure how i'd disable it through my menu (i've got a vague idea but havent actually messed around) but i think theres still a possibility that one overrides the other since both use Bongos api 🤔

[pallid river]

LR has a config, pretty sure they had a setting for main menu

[delicate jungle]

well yeah thats one thing but some people might not mess around with configs since they just want to enjoy the game after downloading the mods and if theres annoyance regarding two mods overlapping in sfx they'd just delete one of them and im fairly certain menus would be the one to be disabled since LR is an ingame mod mostly.

tbh idk how LR set his config up - im using my own audio mod 😅

[pallid river]

You could ask Bongo to add a way of detecting if an emblem theme is active. That way LR can automatically turn off menu music

[delicate jungle]

yeah i might ask him later, i'll be on DND for quite sometime (i'm in way too many projects and have way too many on my own too lmao so i gotta chill out a lil and focus on irl stuff a lil)

[delicate jungle]

its a great idea btw!

[delicate jungle]

one small thing

not quite visible 🙄

[serene kelp]

I can probably make that a bit brighter, it would be more visible when highlighted

[delicate jungle]

oh and the X-s next to them too

they'd need a bit of brightness too

[timber mural]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[serene kelp]

Those X's are so brutally aligned

[serene kelp]

Alright, so I've made a change where the normal menu color config can be reused for all submenu buttons, now users can be tortured with even more horrible color palettes

[serene kelp]

Few more just to be a little more consistent

[honest grotto]

@serene kelp
Feature request

I would love to have the ability to have text Documents connected to menu links.

Above Host, I would love to have

• Changelog
• Known Bugs

This way people will be able to reference mod pack changes and also have an in their face Bug Log.

I ask you for this as I would love the test and hover coloration from Emblem to work with it. The only options I can see are you add it or someone else creates it and uses your mod as a dependency and ties into it.

[serene kelp]

This is a pretty cool idea, Imagine the most optimum would be markdown format if possible, just a flat file. Configs could be boolean enable/disable. string for a menu item title and the path to that file. The tricky part is how to do multiple files and how the config for that would work

[delicate jungle]

I mean for those plus menus should be a config where you can disable them too.. i wouldnt want an overcrowded menuscreen tbh 🤔 not a bad idea tho! Its deffo very useful, but i’d also like to have a clean menu 😅

[serene kelp]

Ya ofc there would be the normal bool to enable, its pretty much the same style popup as the credits

[delicate jungle]

Yeah i imagined it like that

[honest grotto]

I shall let you cook on this

[delicate jungle]

How you doin @serene kelp ? 😁

[serene kelp]

Ohhh stuffs going, been on a break for a bit

[delicate jungle]

Oh no worries just wanted to check in ^^

[serene kelp]

[topaz wing]

I would like to make a non host menu on fornite

Can anyone help me out with that

?

[molten stump]

wdym by non-host?

and didn't you say you wanted to make a BO3 themed menu lol?

[topaz wing]

Yeah I would know like to do fortnite

Non host menu mod

[molten stump]

wdym by non host?

This mod is client sided, not everyone need it for it to work

it can work on your side only if that's what you're asking

[topaz wing]

OK

So what do I need

@molten stump

[molten stump]

So you want to change the background image for something BO3 or Fortnite related right?

[topaz wing]

Yeah

Thats right

?

And can I do it for xbox

[molten stump]

wdym for Xbox?

[topaz wing]

Like would the mod menu work for xbox the game I am thinking about making

[molten stump]

I'm confused

Lethal Company is not even on Xbox

[topaz wing]

Oh what company do I need to use @molten stump

[molten stump]

Wait, is your goal making a mod menu to cheat on games? Is that what you're asking?

[topaz wing]

Yeah something @molten stump

Why you know what I am talking about

[molten stump]

Bro you're in a server for a game called Lethal Company

on Steam

It isn't related to any cheating software

[silent canopy]

I think I have stupid

been rereading the instructions thing and I just can't get the headers to work

Trying to get it to select from a random pool of images but I get nothing each time

[silent canopy]

Kinda got it working but I still don't really get how to make it pull froma pool of images

[delicate jungle]

you just need to have /Header/Header1, Header2, Header3 and at the end of the config theres a way to have them as a slideshow

[silent canopy]

So no way to have it show up as a separate image at launch?

Cause what I'm trying to do is have a different Header image show up randomly from a pool of images at game start

You can do that with Watermark Remover but there doesn't seem to be a way to use that as a dependency for a pack which is why I was trying to use Emblem

[silent canopy]

also like when I try that nothing shows up anymore

[delicate jungle]

can you show a pic of your config?

[delicate jungle]

cuz you are separating them with / instead of ,

[silent canopy]

so like this?

it's just giving me a black screen still

Cause it works with single images but as soon as I put another one in the path it just gives me nothing

[serene kelp]

The path is relative to your emblem folder

so that means you only need to put the part of the path after /emblem/

the same way that the defaults are setup

[silent canopy]

so just clear everything out after that?

[serene kelp]

if you want multiple images selected at random then you need to just specify the folder

[timber mural]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[serene kelp]

So if you put a bunch of differant header logos in a folder at MyModnamestuff/Emblem/Header, then all you need in your config is Header

then as long as all your images have the correct prefix they will be chosen at random

Currently revisiting this stupid panel

[silent canopy]

okay

[serene kelp]

lemme know if you get it working

[silent canopy]

So basically have the path in config look like this?

[serene kelp]

No, since it asks for relative to emblem, you only need Header

[silent canopy]

ah

I'm just getting a blank again

nvm I figured it out

[serene kelp]

Heck yes!

Make sure you name your images something less ambiguous than Header1.png, Header2.png, or name your folder inside emblem something unique like /Emblem/Bamba/Header1.png

No as in 🏳️‍🌈

[delicate jungle]

oh

yeah i guess that would be a pain in the ass for DarkB

[serene kelp]

I'm not following this very well

need it explained better

[delicate jungle]

i think he'd like to be able to change every different text colour and other stuff for different colours i think

so there would be more possibilities to mess with 🤔 tho i might be misunderstanding him

[serene kelp]

Ahh yep, probably not possible without miles more code

[pallid river]

More just actively changing the color of the text

https://tenor.com/view/rainbow-words-text-hyper-spectrum-gif-27283620
In a rainbow pattern, for example, or just between 2-3 shades

Doesn't even have to be a sidescroller like the gif, just solid colors that change over time

[fluid mist]

@serene kelp just wanna make you aware that sometimes Emblem makes the game crash after pressing Online

[delicate jungle]

You sure its Emblem that causes it?

[serene kelp]

Ya Ive never had it crash on me and im doing a lot of test runs. If there's an associated log wntry i could trace with that

[serene kelp]

Spent 3 hours last night scouring through dnspy to try and locate where zeekers is setting button colors, still can't find it. Gonna have to rewrite some stuff for compatibility.

[fluid mist]

It's rare and usually happens if SoundAPI multi threading is set to true

But Emblem will always be the last thing logged before the game crashes

"The placebo effect: a beneficial effect produced by a placebo drug or treatment, which cannot be attributed to the properties of the placebo itself, and must therefore be due to the patient's belief in that treatment.
Example: Emblem has an error message in logs when there's crashing in my huge modpack with multithreading in sound api enabled"

[fluid mist]

Stop always shit talking please

[delicate jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-shookt-shocked-gif-5580082

[fluid mist]

If you wanna shit talk and you think you know better then I'll gladly let you tell me the mod that makes it crash. 😛 I'm waiting

[acoustic berry]

#1208370988715221052 message

[fluid mist]

Yes and then it happened again

2-3 times in a row.

[delicate jungle]

Mrov stand down! i feel a catfight is about to go down

[gaunt moat]

You've been asked a ton of times to not spread misinformation or just make your own conclusions about what's happening, this is about as nice as I can be for "shit talking" :p

[fluid mist]

And Emblem is always the last thing logged before a crash so what other mod would it be?

[delicate jungle]

Xu vs Lunx - mrov get the camera, imma microwave the popcorn

[acoustic berry]

with all due respect, lethal things also show up in 60% of crash stacks

[gaunt moat]

Shush u, get back to class

[acoustic berry]

and yet it's not the actual cause 🥲

[gaunt moat]

Here's a thought, crash logs don't show the very last log before the crash

[delicate jungle]

oh god i got involved

[gaunt moat]

And here's another thought, if bongo has said its not sound api or emblem, then gooooooooood chance it's not

This wouldn't be the first time you've made conclusions like these and I've had to correct you, I could be much more vile about how I've worded what I say when correcting you, me saying it's just a placebo effect is being generous

[fluid mist]

If it's not Emblem then it has to be SoundAPI cus it only ever happens when Multithreading is enabled, maybe it's not SoundAPI directly, but another mod not liking Multithreading although what I can't tell you.

[gaunt moat]

I cant tell u either, I haven't looked into the problem at all, but you can't arbitrarily report these bugs

Bongo already said he's tried reproducing the issue and he can't

[fluid mist]

I wasn't trying to tbh, I went through several crash logs before even pinning it to Emblem

Tbf he also hasn't tried my updated mod pack

😅

[gaunt moat]

Maybe so, but this dev doesn't need to spend an eternity trying to figure out the world's most obscure problem that's probably not even related to anything he does

[fluid mist]

I agree with you I do

It's not my fault this game's logging system sucks.

[gaunt moat]

I wouldn't blame this game exactly but anyway besides the point, this is an ongoing problem that mrov has refused to properly address with you, fact check your reports and provide logs and everything you can before reporting them!

[fluid mist]

Also @serene kelp I apologize if it's not your mod doing it v.v

[acoustic berry]

😳

what did i do this time

[gaunt moat]

You broke emblem

Fix your weather tweaks mod

[acoustic berry]

not again

.<

[gaunt moat]

The amount of times I've been asked to fix the driftwood because other mods did something they weren't supposed to was way too much, trust the mod creator when they say its not their fault, they usually know what they're doing

Anyway im done ranting

I'd like to not see this happen again

Otherwise I'd have to keep up my shit talking

[delicate jungle]

btw is it a hard crash?

[fluid mist]

Yeah

[gaunt moat]

I'm guessing so, logs only save every couple seconds so you wouldn't get the actual log unless u had the console pulled up (MAYBE)

[fluid mist]

The crash reporter will pop up when it happens

[delicate jungle]

when does it usually happen?

[fluid mist]

When the Online button is pressed

[delicate jungle]

are you pulling the lever, in the main menu or just randomly

oooh

hmm

lets just bypass it with IntroTweakz 😂

[fluid mist]

There's probably something that initializes after it's pressed, and it causes issues

@delicate jungle lol

[delicate jungle]

yeah the backwards compatibility is breakin and a couple of error msgs will show, but it should still work

cuz the mod is still depending on 1.2.0 where as emblem is at 1.3.2 now

im going to make an update next weekend hopefully Emblem will have its next update done too, but i dont want to rush DarkB either

by then the issues you had with it should be gone, and also the colours are coming and a couple of extra loading screen stuff too hopefully ^^

[fluid mist]

Yeeeee

Also no more radio announcements

Those damn radio announcements

XD

[delicate jungle]

._. not even if they are quiet?

[fluid mist]

If they're quiet that may help currently they just blare your ears

lol

[delicate jungle]

oh yeah i know lol

it'll be good i swear

i mean its already good cuz i have it already waitin for update

[serene kelp]

Is this in the actual game or in the main menu?

[fluid mist]

Main menu

[serene kelp]

If you send me a profile code i can play around with it

But I would also want to know if the error persists with the theme disabled and emblem updated to latest version

[fluid mist]

Emblem is on latest version, from what S1ckboy has said that error is cus his mod hasn't been updated in a bit

[serene kelp]

Mmk, well maybe try just running the game for a while with the theme disabled and emblem with a basic default config to see if the crash still happens

[serene kelp]

Maybe Ill upload an update tonight and as I fix the bugs y'all can just update versions since there won't be any new config changes

[delicate jungle]

Oh god im ready and not at the same time

First thing i’ll do when i wake up is an scp theme update then lol @fluid mist its coming sooner than expected 👀

[fluid mist]

Let's goooooo

[fluid mist]

Yeah I'm not sure if that error is paricularly responsible for the crashes sometimes but it wouldn't surprise me if it fails to initialize something sometimes cus of it

[delicate jungle]

There should be tho if you update it with the config where we can change the other scenes’ colours 🤔

Or you mean no major changes to the base?

[fluid mist]

Probably that yeah

[serene kelp]

Emblem not finding files really shouldn't be crashing the game tho, thought i had made it fail gracefully. But not finding files could indicate something else is messing with things

[fluid mist]

Btw @delicate jungle why is SCP_Theme 110 mb? XD

That's like the size of 2 or 3 custom moons

;o

[serene kelp]

Probably mp4 files

[serene kelp]

Here y'all go, have fun, please report any bugs/conflicts using the new features with existing menu mods
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/

[fluid mist]

@delicate jungle ^^

[serene kelp]

Was honestly waiting to release but its gonna be a bit to fix a few things and I have a super busy irl weekend

[delicate jungle]

LETS GOOOOO

[fluid mist]

SCP_Theme update inc?

[delicate jungle]

Yup

Just woke up

I’ll need a bit of time but yep

[fluid mist]

I mean assuming not much has changed compared to the beta build you showcased I imagine it should be ready minus maybe a couple changes you may need to do

[delicate jungle]

Yeah it should be ready

[delicate jungle]

uhm

it aint it chief @serene kelp

[serene kelp]

Whats wrong?

[delicate jungle]

this is how it should look like

[serene kelp]

Did you try different colors?

[delicate jungle]

yup

the textboxes are not attached to the config i guess

or at least not all

[serene kelp]

Thats strange because it works on my end, they would be orange if not connected. Some configs have changed since the pre release version i sent

Try adding a ,1 at the end of the theme color in config

[delicate jungle]

yup that was it lol

[fluid mist]

@serene kelp Why is it auto selecting Public instead of Friends Only when creating a lobby?

[delicate jungle]

oh you did mention it to him already

[delicate jungle]

😮

[serene kelp]

This is a known bug, its a complicated fix, but ill get to this thoon

[serene kelp]

Not sure, but will test fosho

[serene kelp]

Quick little hotfix for the theme colors
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/
The rest of the fixs will trickle in eventually

[delicate jungle]

Oh just the missing alpha in the config aight

[serene kelp]

This is just to fix the bug that @delicate jungle found immediatly

ya you bet

[delicate jungle]

Small idea if youre planning on moving towards the ingame ui

As you know the og colour is orange - but when you leave the game the screen there is green

Maybe you could go with the inverse colouring route there

So the colours in game for my scp theme is green and the inverse colour would be for the quit screen is like purple (iirc?)

[serene kelp]

Ohh maybe I was thinking of just normalizing it all

[delicate jungle]

I guess thats fine too 🤔

Tbh im not quite sure what i want either lol

T’was just a thought, you could test it when you get there and decide which would be better

[serene kelp]

Both those screens id like the borders to be consistent on, and follow the config for main menu. Also the menu items would be consistent with main menu

[delicate jungle]

Alrighty sounds good ^^

[honest grotto]

@serene kelp
made any progress towards being able to add new menu buttons?

[serene kelp]

I'd love to attempt that but there's a few bugs to fix on this last update first

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/
@fluid mist Thanks for pointing this out

[fluid mist]

Yay 😄 yvw ^^

[serene kelp]

I think for the bettersaves compat I'm just gonna disable the recoloring of the saves slots for now

well, when better saves is present

[timber mural]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[fluid mist]

Yeah that'll do it :3

[serene kelp]

FYI LCBetterSaves appears slightly borked since it hasn't been updated for 4 months I dunno if I'd be using it. This is while launching vanilla so if anyone wants to poke the dev for that mod to fix this, please do so.

[timber mural]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[serene kelp]

Got it to work a bit better

[fluid mist]

Ooh

[fluid mist]

Yeah LCBetterSaves is essentially abandoned, I removed it a long time ago

[serene kelp]

I mean it's cool, I enjoy the renaming feature but I don't want to break the UI for people that still use it, it has over 2M downloads

was thinking about trying to recolor it too but nah, we will leave it as is

[molten stump]

Main reason I use it is for having more than 3 saves

Too bad there isnt any alternatives

[serene kelp]

I think the errors in the log are just because it's looking for gameobjects immediatly instead of after the mainmenu scene is actually loaded

Also it doesn't remember the last used save and kindof doesn't indicate which one is going to be used if you jump in without selecting one

I'll upload an update here gimme 5

Here ya go
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/

[fluid mist]

I wonder if the Crew size and number background could also be changed to match the coloring when MoreCompany is present

@serene kelp 🤔

[serene kelp]

I did not see this! Absolutely

[serene kelp]

That's a thought! Lemme see what I can do... Here's where we are at so far

Has anyone fixed the missing $ bug yet?

[fluid mist]

Ooohhhh

That is so much better ^^

The green cosmetic icon has never bothered me tbh XD

[serene kelp]

For the love of god don't ask me to theme this too

Here we go

Here y'all go, this hopefully is the last update for tonight, thank-you all for pointing out the initial glaring bugs.
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/

Next I'd like to get the LobbyCompatability bugs dealt with and flag this mod as being client side compatable using that.
Also getting live config updates working on the new submenu stuff

[serene kelp]

Eventually would like to get Brownian movement dust particles working too but my first try with a shader melted fps. Next attempt will be with unity's particle system

[meager crown]

Are more config options for the Glitchy Logo option planned?

[serene kelp]

Like what?

[meager crown]

Well, how often it occurs, for example.

Right now, it's so often that I prefer it disabled

[serene kelp]

I think i turned it up while drinking the other night showing my buddy the code. Will see what i can do

[wise citrus]

is it normal that the other peoples that download my pack dont get the custom title screen ?

im sharing using a code

[serene kelp]

Can u send a link to the theme you uploaded to Thunderstore?

[wise citrus]

what ?

its not uploaded to thunderstore

[serene kelp]

Then thats why, you gotta read the instructions

[wise citrus]

sorry

[serene kelp]

Lol all good,the custom image or video files cant be shared through a profile code

Either upload a theme or add it into a bepinex folder with an uploaded modpack

[wise citrus]

ive made my own profile in the emblem folder and ive modified the config but it doesn't work

oh waited ive misnammed it

[delicate jungle]

download my scp theme manually and copy the way i did it 👌

[wise citrus]

also ive updated the mod and all of the custom title and other things dissapeared

[serene kelp]

Send your config over

Did you modify the emblem config directly instead of using the r2modman interface?

[wise citrus]

i used the r2modman interface

[delicate jungle]

i do that

[wise citrus]

when i update the mod its just deletes anything inside the emblem folder

resets*

[serene kelp]

You gotta make your own emblem folder, it can be anywhere inside BepInEx/plugins

Theres a file called "Instructions.md", read that through

I just realized that it isn't correctly written, holdon I'll update it

Do not add or modify the Darkbrewery-Emblem/Emblem/Defaults folder

Instead create your own folder that Emblem will use

You may name it anything you wish but it must reside within BepInEx/plugins/

Ex: BepInEx/plugins/Custom-Plugin-Theme/Emblem/MyTheme/

The organization structure beyond /Emblem/ is up to you!

In your config, point to your files relative to your new Emblem folder, ex:
- MyTheme/Header123.png
- MyTheme/Background
- MyTheme/Video/Awesomevideo.mp4

You do not need to include BepInEx/plugins/Author-ModName/plugins/Emblem/

The final structure being uploaded to thunderstore should look similair to this

Just added LobbyCompatibility support for the next update

Still working on a few bugs LobbyC clones some objects but the listeners do not clone so theres some visual issues to fix

Not doing a hard dep though, i actually despise forced mod downloads

[serene kelp]

Fixed the bug with the refresh button but as it turns out, LobbyC doesn't actually mess with it until you click the join button so thats gonna be a pain in the butt

[delicate jungle]

oof

[serene kelp]

Wow, that was easy lol, surprised myself

        if (PluginFinder.LobbyCompat)
        {
            DelayHelper.StartDelayedAction(0.3f, () => SetColor(LOBBYCOMPAT_REFRESH, ButtonRegText));
            SetColor(LOBBYCOMPAT_REFRESH_HOVER, ButtonHoverBG);
        }
        else
        {
            HoverButton(LOBBY_REFRESH, ButtonRegText, ButtonHoverText, Darken, ButtonHoverBG);
        }

The list is growing still, damn

[hard arch]

This explains so much. I was wondering why the background I made wasn't working

[delicate jungle]

oh god

[serene kelp]

Some progres on LobbyC

This is important since LobbyC seems to be pretty popular and it's a hard dep for some bigger mods like facility meltdown

[gaunt moat]

are you trying to make it a soft dep?
