Emblem

[gaunt moat]

i've done that, its pretty simple

meltdown only makes it a hard dep cuz why not

[serene kelp]

I've got it as a soft dep ya

using LobbyCompatibility.Enums;
using LobbyCompatibility.Features;

[BepInPlugin("Darkbrewery.Emblem", "Emblem", "1.4.4")]
[BepInDependency("BMX.LobbyCompatibility", DependencyFlags.SoftDependency)]

private void Awake()
{
    var pluginInfo = (BepInPlugin)Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(typeof(EmblemPlugin), typeof(BepInPlugin));
    PluginHelper.RegisterPlugin(pluginInfo.GUID, pluginInfo.Version, CompatibilityLevel.ClientOnly, VersionStrictness.None);
}

[gaunt moat]

just having that at the top wont work lol

[serene kelp]

damnit

[gaunt moat]

have this

in the awake

new file

give it this

should be it

[serene kelp]

Cheers!

[wise citrus]

hey ive uploaded my theme on thunderstore but whenever i download it all the folders dissapear

the abruti.png was in the header folder

[molten stump]

That means you didnt do the folders right

[serene kelp]

You need to follow the folder structure outlined in instructions.md

[serene kelp]

Thanks for this! I added a null check

[gaunt moat]

:3

i havent needed one before but ye

[wise citrus]

hey ive followed the folder structure but it doesn't work

prob forgot to update the config

still doesnt work

[delicate jungle]

the none folder in the "plugins" is for Bongo's API so i can mute the OG menu music

[wise citrus]

didint know i had to name the folder emblem, it works now, thanks!

[serene kelp]

Getting closer, going to leave LobbyC icon colors as is

[gusty crag]

it's only a dep on thunderstore, meltdown will just chill without it because it was causing some problems for people

[gaunt moat]

Yeah I was right then smh

[hard arch]

Is it possible to have borders along the menu buttons?

[serene kelp]

not curently, most of the menu buttons are vary-ing widths so that could look funny

[wise citrus]

hey, sorry if im asking a lot of questions but my mod doesnt work, ive followed the steps in instruction and when i upload it by hand: it works, but when i do it with bepinex, the others folder dissapear and all that i have left is a "Emblem" Folder

[delicate jungle]

Look at this again

[serene kelp]

Follow the structure outlined in instructions.md

[wise citrus]

it works dont worry

i forgot to tell

[serene kelp]

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

[delicate jungle]

dependency* :p

just messin witcha, great job!

[serene kelp]

Trying to conceptualizze how adding a new menu item would look like

Imagine we would need two configs, one for the title displayed in the menu, another for path to the contents.
I've looked into adding markdown support but that requires using an external library since unity doesn't have it's own way of doing markdown

[serene kelp]

Pretty sure we can just use rich text

Something like this

[serene kelp]

Progress:

Just adding a new menu, got the font back to zeekers style

Still need to do a few tweaks, might finish today i dunno. It needs new theme colors, smaller default font, connected to a menu button etc. But the big win is being able to pull a custom rich text file that users can put whatever they want in. Not sure if images are possible though. That would be a lot more work

[serene kelp]

God that took forever, damn, the menus are not in a vertical layout group and I don't wanna break stuff by fixing it so this took more work than it should have

[serene kelp]

Works with lethalconfig nice

[serene kelp]

Will be adding a config to choose the position of the new menu item

[serene kelp]

I'm thinking about ways to simplify things for people, not a fan of the rich text formatting, wonder how people feel about it being in markdown format?

I can write a simple parser using regex to do the conversion to a format that unity likes. Since changelogs are in .md format typically, then we can find a way to set the path to something outside the emblem folder, maybe using ../CHANGELOG.md

Just thinking out loud here

Suppose support for both markdown and rich text would be desirable since .md doesn't let you do colors

[delicate jungle]

Hmm

I guess that would work 🤔

Does that mean i could also use <b> text </b> ? 🤔

[serene kelp]

You can do bold in markdown with **

But yeah rich text is <b>

Maybe ill save the markdown conversion for later, get the basic stuff released and add that feature later

[delicate jungle]

Well yeah like bold, italic, crossed out would be nice for an ingame changelog

[serene kelp]

Got most of the TMPro tags in a test page to come with the new feature

And here it is with a theme applied

and just a shot of the in progress lethalconfig

If i've got the energy tomorrow i'll upload update, I really want to reorganise configs again but need to find a way to migrate old configs so it doesn't break stuff

[delicate jungle]

if you'll have a a reorganized config i could check it out n give u feedback

[serene kelp]

It does, most configs will update without restart, but not all

You can also edit the .cfg directly and it should detect most changes

[serene kelp]

I may have gone overboard with configs for the new feature

[serene kelp]

I would like to move some of these configs around so that one could set line height and offset without needing to enable the extra menu item, might dig into that next

[gusty vine]

lol

[serene kelp]

Thats actually incredible

[gusty vine]

haha thanks

got the blue colour from a screenshot so it'd be accurate

The normal Bliss wallpaper looked too clean, even with the in-game filters, so I used a version of it that KinitoPET made when I played it, which works perfectly!

[serene kelp]

I'm surprised no one has thought of this yet

[gusty vine]

Wait am I really the first to do it??

[serene kelp]

Think so

[gusty vine]

Neat!

[serene kelp]

Should release it as a simple theme

[gusty vine]

How would I go about doing that? lol

[serene kelp]

Upload to thunderstore, check instructions.md for a walkthrough

[gusty vine]

Rad! I'll probably do that.

[serene kelp]

Thatd be funny for sure, could maybe squeeze the windows xp logo in too

the glitch effect might be fitting

[gusty vine]

Yeah I'll def do more work on it before I'd upload

[serene kelp]

Progress

@honest grotto wasn't this your feature request?

[fluid mist]

@delicate jungle lol I'mma need some help fixing this 😂

[fluid mist]

@serene kelp are the menu buttons supposed to be like this now? I can't even find where to adjust them XD

[serene kelp]

Ya it defaults to 50, the setting is in menu colors, try 30 to move em down, ill update again later to move them back to default position

"Offset"

[fluid mist]

In other words those buttons being moved made me realize how unaligned those buttons are by default

XD

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/GoldenGuy1000/Align_Menu_Buttons/ I instantly requested for 1A3 to include this in LethalFixes

😂

[serene kelp]

Ya they are awful, look at the Join button, im gonna fix that soon

[fluid mist]

Yeah XD

[honest grotto]

Yes! TY!

[delicate jungle]

Wtf

[delicate jungle]

Oh okie

[fluid mist]

@delicate jungle if you plan to update it these values work pretty well

[delicate jungle]

Alrighty thanks

I’ll look into it later on today i think

Got an exam today 💀

[serene kelp]

Is that pretty close to vanilla? I can just make these defaults for the whole thing

[fluid mist]

Ye

A little bit nicer than vanilla defaults in terms of the spacing

[serene kelp]

Aight ill do that then. It won't apply to those who have updated already

[serene kelp]

@fluid mist Fixed
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/

[fluid mist]

👍

[mossy wren]

Hello, I've had this error occur for quite a long time now, I can't pinpoint a reason for it, mp4 backgrounds work but I can't apply any color to the menus

[serene kelp]

Input string not in correct format, looks like a syntax error in your config file. Try saving a copy of your config elsewhere. Then delete the working one and generate a new config fresh and bring your settings in one at a time to isolate the bad entry.

Try this with all other mods disabled to ensure it isn't another mod causing a conflict

Good luck! Ill be back online later today

[mossy wren]

Hmm, I disabled all mods except Emblem, generated a new config, gives me half of the error code 😅 Its something on my end, I don't know what.

[serene kelp]

Send new log screen and config

[serene kelp]

Im going to attempt to fix the $ signs in the Saves slots tonight, it will be an experimental feature

By overlapping an S and a | we can hack together a $ without actually having it supported by the font set

[serene kelp]

Second thought, saving that for tomorrow, its summer and getting stuff done is exhausting

[delicate jungle]

Dollar signs? 👀

[mossy wren]

It works now, I had to change Version Number - Enable from False to True

no more error 👍

[zealous shuttle]

hello everyone, I have a problem, when I change the loading text it doesn’t change, or it disappears. Can you help me?

[serene kelp]

Weird, I will test this, sounds like something that can be avoided in future

[serene kelp]

Send your config

[serene kelp]

Ty will check this in a few hours

Im on mobile at work

[zealous shuttle]

thank you

[serene kelp]

Your config works for me, did you try pressing \ to preview it?

[serene kelp]

Was there any other mods enabled?

[mossy wren]

All other mods were disabled

[gusty vine]

Animated loading screen

[zealous shuttle]

I will try it again

[zealous shuttle]

it still doesn't work, and version number doesn't work too, but if I install some theme from thunderstore and try to change them, everything works

pressing \ doesn't do something too

and I have this error

[mossy wren]

thats the exact same error code I had until I enabled the version number styling, does yours look about similar to this?

[zealous shuttle]

I have version styling disabled

[mossy wren]

Try enabling it, it fixed the error code for me

[zealous shuttle]

Unfortunately, error remains and version styling doesn't work

[serene kelp]

Did you try deleting your config and generate a fresh one by starting the game again?

[zealous shuttle]

yes

[serene kelp]

so this error occurs with a fresh profile and nothing but emblem installed?

[zealous shuttle]

yes

[serene kelp]

I just made a new profile and downloaded latest emblem, I cannot recreate the error. Is this using r2modman or the thunderstore app?

[zealous shuttle]

yes I, use r2modman

[serene kelp]

That is strange, do you have the latest version of r2modman?

[zealous shuttle]

yes

[serene kelp]

I don't know where I can help, send your config and log

[serene kelp]

ty

[zealous shuttle]

thanks for the help

[serene kelp]

I dont understand what's happening here, i lauched with your config and no error occurs, then I did a diffcheck to see if the config changed after launch and it's identical to what you sent me

There's 3 places that you have changed the config and none of those should be throwing an error

[zealous shuttle]

I check it's still the same

I create another new profile and launch game without changes in config, but this error appears

[serene kelp]

Show me the log running this version

[serene kelp]

That should catch the error more precisely. The only thing I can think of potentially would be some non-standard localized encoding, characters or non-english keyboard

[zealous shuttle]

yes, I have non-english keyboard

[serene kelp]

Okay try this I think I know whats going on

It's the decimel in the float value 0.45 .net is parsing it differantly

[zealous shuttle]

this config have problem with 0.45 too but all functions are working

[serene kelp]

Try deleting the config and generating a new one

Also need to see the log again, I'll upload a v1.5.2 when this is resolved

[serene kelp]

What happens if you change the versionColor value to say 0.55

[serene kelp]

wait

This one

[serene kelp]

Damnit, that was with the most recent one above?

[zealous shuttle]

this?

[serene kelp]

Ya

[zealous shuttle]

or this?

[serene kelp]

This one

[zealous shuttle]

I'll check again

[zealous shuttle]

yes, it have this error

[serene kelp]

Okay, does the error go away if you change 0.45 to 1

Here's another version to try with hopefully more detailed logging

[zealous shuttle]

yes

[serene kelp]

So it's definitly then the localized decimel thats messing with stuff which is more than weird

[zealous shuttle]

error remains, but what could this affect?

[serene kelp]

did the log give anything new? The colorparser will fallback to white if it can't parse the decimel. the 0.45 represenhts the transparency of your color so it means none of your colors can be transparent and need a value of 1

[zealous shuttle]

nothing new

[serene kelp]

Try this one

[torn pendant]

@serene kelp Do you think you could make it so we can use SteamIDs to directly address players using Emblem's text features?

[zealous shuttle]

nothing changed

[serene kelp]

Same error?

[zealous shuttle]

yes

[serene kelp]

Damnit

Are there any other . 's you can try using on your keyboard?

[serene kelp]

Mmmm, not exactly suire which text feature you are referring to

[torn pendant]

loading screen text and version number text

[serene kelp]

ahhhh, i'll look into it but I'm not sure about it yet

[torn pendant]

okie

[zealous shuttle]

[Error : Emblem] Invalid RGBA string format: 230,100,65,0,45 - I try to use a , instead of .

and using . from another language doesn't do something

[serene kelp]

This is the strangest bug I've ever seen

It could also be your version of .net

[zealous shuttle]

maybe

[serene kelp]

Here's one more attempt

[zealous shuttle]

still the same

[serene kelp]

Alright well, appreciate your patience, Im going to change the format from 255, 255, 255, 0.5 to 255, 255, 255, 50.

[zealous shuttle]

If the problem with the .NET, can you advice something?

[serene kelp]

I'm not sure if it is, i'll just update the mod to compensate for it

[zealous shuttle]

I update my .net but it's don't help

[serene kelp]

I'm gonna make it so a value 0-100 is used for Alpha instead of 0-1

[zealous shuttle]

sorry, It late for me, and I want to go to bed before dawn, thank you for your help, it is very cool, have a good day

[serene kelp]

Have a good one, i'll have an updated version out for ya tomorrow

[gusty vine]

@serene kelp Congrats on 100K downloads!

[serene kelp]

Sweeeeeeeet! Wowee

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

[serene kelp]

Which text?

Version number can already be aligned, extra submenu text can be aligned, im not sure which text needs an option?

Loading text is centered already and doesn't make sense moving it around

Where? Could you send a screenshot

Ohh the main buttons, gawd that would be a lot of work, but I'll think about it, the problem is they are not grouped correctly in vanilla. each is just placed with absolute positioning

then other mods add their own menu items dynamically at different stages after runtime so having to account for that is even more to do

lol, this game is just so frustrating to mod since it was one guy who made it, its not setup to be changed easily

ideally the menu items could be in a group and we could move the group around. But if I put them in a group then that won't play well with other mods

ya it would end up looking like that

Can you explain that better?

yepp

Oh geez, like rearrange the whole menu?

lol, that would be tricky, we would need to have a weight for every menu item, so it would make the config quite large

I'll think it over to see if its possible to do easily

[gusty vine]

Would it be possible to add the ability to move the logo to the left/right?

[serene kelp]

Logo would be easier...., you could just make it wider with transparency to move it tho

[serene kelp]

Before and After:

But now I see one more place where the $ are ugly....

[hallow oak]

Hey, How can I use this mod? are there instructions? Maybe a video tutorial

[serene kelp]

There's an instructions.md file in the zip

[serene kelp]

Also check the list of other mods that depend on emblem, there's lots of example implementations you can copy
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/dependants/?section=mods&ordering=most-downloaded

[gusty vine]

I think it’s intentional to have a different symbol for company credits

[serene kelp]

Ya, you might be right, it's the only character that shows up as a funny symbol, that's why I've put it in the experimental section.

I'm gonna forget about doing the leaderboard since it's way more obscure

[gusty vine]

👍

[serene kelp]

Oh. My GAWD. I just realized that the launch scene can be recolored and even changed completely!

Well I know what the next feature is gonna be!

So ya, going to make it so that whatever theme color is used, it will also be applied to this intro sequence.
Potentially we can also have a .txt file that will replace the text

[zealous shuttle]

I installed new update, all works great!! Thank you!

[serene kelp]

Beautiful!

[serene kelp]

Im totally going to add "All your base are belong to us" into the default text

[honest grotto]

@serene kelp
If you ever get around to messing with code to allow the loading screen to work like you want it too. Which would require a lot of effort. You may as well try to add some kind of loading bar, animation, or mini console to show things are still loading in the loading screen.

[serene kelp]

I like this idea

It is absolutely on the list, I have a busy summer ahead and plan on just releasing this as completely open source and upload it all to github

That way if I drop off the planet, y'all can still fork this all you want

[serene kelp]

Niiiiiiice it friggin works!

[fluid mist]

Ayyyyy

[serene kelp]

You can even use rich text to reformat the whole thing, just the frames need to stay in place

Small caps and monospacing:

[gusty vine]

omg that’s amazing

[serene kelp]

I think I'm done messing with the included text, ya'll are stuck with my stupid humor

[gusty vine]

You messed up

In the applicant version, you’re missing ||either a second B or an 8||.

[hard arch]

thats a lot of memory

[gusty vine]

At least two

[hard arch]

this is cool tho. I personally don't think I'd be using it since it only shows up for like 2 seconds and I already use GI to skip this, but it looks good

[gusty vine]

I’m trying to think of a way I could potentially implement the feature with my theme

[hard arch]

they should make it to where you can use image files and have it load up with that one saul goodman picture

[gusty vine]

shdhdbeb

I could probably just change out the info to be accurate to something in the early-mid 00s

And see if I can do some kinda ASCII art to look like a welcome screen

[serene kelp]

ty

[gusty vine]

np haha

Gotta make sure you get the top tier funnies

[serene kelp]

Its funny because users only see it for a split second and have to restart the game to try and read it again

[gusty vine]

Hahaha

[serene kelp]

Update is incoming so y'all can play with new features

[gusty vine]

I would but I’m not home :c

[gusty vine]

Why does the lethal pc have 4.5 GB of RAM

[serene kelp]

It's the future

[gusty vine]

Imagine how many chrome tabs you could open with that

Like

At least 5

[serene kelp]

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

[gusty vine]

radddd

[gusty vine]

I was thinking of making it a time-accurate PC games recommended specs, but tbh I have a Windows XP laptop in my room and I could probably just take those lol

[keen oar]

I have some suggestions

add a config to reorder buttons

add a config to add more then one new button

[hard arch]

I also would like this with the ability to open a link (ex: button for joining a discord server or linking to the mod pack's wiki)

[keen oar]

yeah that would be nice

suggestions

• add a config to reorder buttons

• add a config to add more then one new button

• allow clicking on links in the new button

@serene kelp

[hallow oak]

With this mod can I add pictures to the loading screen when joining a lobby?

[keen oar]

Yes

[delicate jungle]

yup

you can do several stuff ^^

• custom bootup logs
• custom menu button
• custom menu colors
• background (png / mp4)
• loadingscreen (png / mp4)
• loadtexts
  and a couple more small features

[serene kelp]

Re-ordering buttons is possible but the config is potentially complex and will need some thought first, I don't want to add more than 1 config line to accommodate it.

Adding more than one more new button is possible, but what would you guys even use it for? This would require another 3 config lines for a feature that is rarely used. Unless we can conceive of a way to limit the config entries, then this seems unnecessary.

Clicking links introduces potential security issues. Malicious links could be added and shared using only profile codes and I'm not sure I want to open this up can of worms without adding a confirmation popup that exposes the full url prior to following.

These are all great suggestions, I'm just commenting on the first thoughts I'm having

[keen oar]

One for join discord and one for changelog

[serene kelp]

I'll play around and see if I can get discord links to work first, Unity doesn't nativly support links in text so there's some complexity involved

[keen oar]

You can add a button that opens a link

I have it with my mod

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/lethal_coder/AdvanceModChecker/

If you click on guide it opens the thunderstore link

[serene kelp]

Ya, could replace the text link with a button, but may as well just make rich text links work at that point

[keen oar]

No I mean just a button that opens a link

Instead of having text in it

[serene kelp]

Like an icon or a menu item?

[keen oar]

A menu item I think

I already have it in my mod where if you click guide it opens a link

[torn pendant]

I don't know what I was expecting lol

Glitchy text doesn't work

[serene kelp]

Ya I put pretty much all the working stuff in the example file

[torn pendant]

Perfect

[gusty vine]

Will probably try to get this done tonight

I might be able to get the first version of the theme out within the next 2-3 days

There’s extra stuff I want to do but it can be done through updates

[gusty vine]

It looks like Emblem touches the default logo in some aspects regardless of settings?

Vanilla

Only Emblem

Just something I noticed

[delicate jungle]

I might be blind but im not seeing the difference

[gaunt moat]

the buttons are inlined to the left

[delicate jungle]

Ooooh

[gusty vine]

I meant the logo being higher shahsbsh

[gaunt moat]

oh lol

yeah everything feels "more" centered away

if that makes sense

[gusty vine]

I kinda like the logo being a little lower tbh

Although I’m also looking up at my tv now when I play

So I’m biased

lol

[delicate jungle]

you can change the position of the logo tho

[gusty vine]

This is without any logo changes on

iirc you have to replace the logo in order to modify it

[delicate jungle]

oooh

interesting

[hallow oak]

Can I customize the main menu logo with this mod even if I've installed more company mod? It says "more company" instead of Lethal Company on the menu so...

[delicate jungle]

Afaik yes

[serene kelp]

Absolutely, its compatible

[keen oar]

@serene kelp are you still adding a way to have a video before the main menu?

[serene kelp]

Probably not, i'm stepping back from adding new features

[delicate jungle]

To the menu stuff or the mod altogether? 🫣 cuz i was kinda excited for the ingame stuff ngl 😅

[serene kelp]

We will see, iI have a busy summer ahead of me

[clever void]

## Color of the font in RGBA format (ex: '0,0,255,100' for blue).
# Setting type: String
# Default value: 255,139,0,100
Color = 255,139,0,100

[11:20:37.6387197] [Error : Emblem] Invalid RGBA string format: 255,139,0
?

[serene kelp]

try using a 1 instead of 100

[clever void]

Ok, will do.
Is it like.. inverted? Or a decimal between 0 and 1?

[serene kelp]

It works on two scales 1-100 and 0.01-1

It is a strange bug, id test with a fresh config first

[clever void]

Interesting. Works fine. Wouldn't 1 be an ambiguous value then? Anyways I just wanted to get rid of the error.

idea: make rotations of e.g. backgrounds more random by making them less random actually.

[serene kelp]

We changed from using 0-1 to using 0-100 because the decimal was causing conflicts on international keyboards/.net versions, but needed to keep 1 working for backwards compatability

[serene kelp]

You can add extra copies of the same bg to kindof add weight to one over the others, but probably not opening the code up again unless a game version update breaks something

[clever void]

I think mp4 is supported..? nobody is actually using gif for anything high res

[clever void]

not really what I'm after. I'd just like if they wouldn't repeat until every picture from the folder has been displayed once but fair point. Really just a minor preference thing. Everything is working very well.

[serene kelp]

Ya use Mp4, I looked into gifs and it was going to be really tricky with unity

[analog crypt]

it may be a old message, but i was trying Emblem today and this really triggered me too

the logo being a bit lower is better

yeah, i know i can enable the main logo replacement setting, but for some reason the HeaderRed.png is very low quality compared to the original

[restive tiger]

Possible to use my theme in a shared profile code? Or do I need to upload it to Thunderstore first to get the effect?

[analog crypt]

I too have a similar question

But that's probably related to Thunderstore

If i put a image in the background folder, choose that image on Emblem, save and then share my modpack code, will the image also be in the imported code?

[delicate jungle]

No

you need to upload your stuff to TS or send the emblem stuff to your friends and they'd need to locally import it

[analog crypt]

😢

[summer jackal]

So I do want to ask then, what files would I have to exactly upload to TS and how would I be able to make it apply propperly when others download it. Cuz right now I have added my own folder in the Emblem Plugin folder and have added my own images I wanted to replace in my menus, and in my own modpack I of course have the right config options set but, how would I go about uploading the file for these alternate images and have the Emblem mod propperly call for those images from a seperate 'mod'? Will it properly just add the files into Emblem's Plugin folder and have the Emblem mod automatically be a dependency or?? Maybe it'd be easier for me to just upload my modpack as it's own thing?

It is my first time uploading on TS for myself so. And I want to surprise my friends with the things I added to the menu with this mod

[delicate jungle]

I’d say manually download mine and see how i did it

That would be the fastest way

SCP Theme is the maintained one 😅 i do need to get back to the rest too tbh

[clever void]

if you share your profile with your friends you don't have to worry about including the emblem config. Just create this folder structure BepInEx\plugins\Emblem\whatever... Drop your files in there. That whole thing starting with BepInEx must be at the root of your zip archive as well as the other required things for ts upload like README.md, metadata.json and icon.png. Then you upload that zip archive to TS.

│   icon.png
│   manifest.json
│   README.md
│
└───BepInEx
    └───plugins
        └───Emblem
            └───Your stuff (can be in subfolders too)

don't use filenames too long or too many subfolders tho. It's likely to cause issues with windows path limit.

[restive tiger]

Possible to add a hyperlink to title screen? Maybe one with an icon?

[serene kelp]

Theres an instructions file included with the mod to do all of this

[serene kelp]

Not with emblem, you would have to write your own patch to do this

[restive tiger]

Gotcha thanks. Would be a nice feature tho.

[serene kelp]

Ya I was thinking about it, was a suggestion before but I'm just not comfortable with adding the hyperlink since it would potentially allow malicious links to be injected into peoples UI's. So it's a little more complicated than just adding a couple new gameobjects. You would want a tooltip that reveals the whole url when hovered and a warning popup before opening the link.

[restive tiger]

Twitter and discord too discord

[restive tiger]

I specifically want this feature to link the discord where I will be hosting my modpack

This way I can passively gain members from people who have played it in lfg spaces

[serene kelp]

Ya the last request was specific to discord as well, I think if it was ONLY discord links which can be validated then it could be added as another menu item, I just dunno if I want to fire up visual studio again and dig into it, lemme think about it

[restive tiger]

Alright thanks

[restive tiger]

Concept image I made

[serene kelp]

Thats actually sick af

[restive tiger]

Thanks man I appreciate you making it possible

[serene kelp]

Send me the discord logo I'll see what I can do

[restive tiger]

alright let me touch it up

[serene kelp]

I'm assuming everyone uses morecompany still and there's currently no alternative?

[restive tiger]

I've seen alternatives on thunderstore but idk if they work I've only used MoreCompany and it seems everyone else does too

[restive tiger]

here's the icon

[serene kelp]

Beauty! Now lets see if I can muster up the courage to dig into the spaghetti code that I made

might take a few days

[restive tiger]

awesome thanks!

[restive tiger]

@serene kelp I wasn't satisfied so here's the new one

[serene kelp]

Aight, it might be editable later i dunno

Just need a default asset

[restive tiger]

alright

This one looks way better than the other one

Properly pixelated and has a darkened interior to match LateCompany's icon

[restive tiger]

Touched up the pixel art a bit more

[green crest]

Yes if you put it in your config folder

[plucky creek]

for some reason version text doesnt work anymore, and is overwritten by morecompany

[fluid mist]

That's an issue with some other mod in your pack, that or you have the version text disabled

[delicate jungle]

its completely fine - it must be a config issue you have

[plucky creek]

hmm it worked like a few days ago but quite a lot of mods got updates and it just stopped working. I guess i will troubleshoot some to find the issue

[delicate jungle]

can i have the code?

also do you have your own menu for it?

[plucky creek]

no i just use crispy

[delicate jungle]

should look similar to this

its in VS but you can check the same thing in r2modman config

i just like to use VS cuz its more cozy for me

when making my own

[verbal finch]

No syntax higlighting

[delicate jungle]

you need to have "Enable = true" on version number and check if the color has 100 at the end

[verbal finch]

Theres probably a plugin that adds it

[delicate jungle]

could be that Crispy still has "1"

[delicate jungle]

dont really need syntax highlighting since its a config after all 🤷‍♂️ but yeah that could be a bit more pleasing to the eyes

i dont intend to code shiz for now so i havent really looked into its settings (im more familiar with python anyways)

[plucky creek]

strange, now it works fine

only thing i changed now was this

it was on false

[delicate jungle]

yea you need that on true ^^

strange, must have been a slipup ig

[plucky creek]

shouldnt it work on false as well?

at least i think it did

[delicate jungle]

nope since you disable it with "false" setting

[ruby path]

what are the max dimensions for things using this in the various places like loading screen and menu background?

[delicate jungle]

Bootup - tho with the new scene that might be borked idk

[ruby path]

what? XD

[delicate jungle]

Custom colours everywhere in a theme

[delicate jungle]

Theres a bootup log thingy

When you load the game

[ruby path]

yeah... what about it?

[delicate jungle]

You can have your own custom version of it

Kinda

I do it in SCP Theme

[ruby path]

i know that XD i wanna know what the max size of images can be

[delicate jungle]

Oooh thats what you meant lol

Mb im sleepy

[ruby path]

its cool, i asked it in a stupid way to be fair haha

[delicate jungle]

It stretches the images to the screen’s size iirc

[ruby path]

so effectively anything as long as its a multiple of 2560x1440

[serene kelp]

It stretches vertically to fit, this is to accomodate ultra-wide. Depends on the users resolution settings, which we have no control over.

[sick lotus]

@serene kelp hey, im sorry to bother you but would you mind composing a tutorial that covers the many uses for this mod? as I am having trouble using the mod correctly

[serene kelp]

There's an instructions file when you download the mod, then also you can download one of the themes from here https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Darkbrewery/Emblem/dependants/. Look at the config file to see how they used it.

Just know that you can only have 1 theme installed at a time

[sick lotus]

Tysm 🥰🥰🥰

[serene kelp]

That was a thought at one point but its very complex, opted not to since it would take a lot of spaghetti code and its someone elses mod anyway

[worn fulcrum]

how about the option for Online and LAN? is it possible?

yoo you play Once Human too

[serene kelp]

Online/Lan isn't already customized?

[worn fulcrum]

I mean the "launch Mode" before the booting animation

is it already customized?

idk actually, never see it changed color

[serene kelp]

Ahhh, yeah, didn't bother, its a different scene and most people use a mod to skip that part anyway.

PVE X0029 is where ive hitched my horse this reset

[worn fulcrum]

well, true

[delicate pewter]

Installing custom themes doesnt seem to work for me anymore

[serene kelp]

Fresh Profile?

[worn fulcrum]

the sub menu color broke it

[distant sinew]

anyone know why the original logo appears at the top whenever i hover over host game?

[modest ravine]

This mod is so sick, makes me want to create my own modpack

[outer token]

I did it :]

[gusty vine]

idk why that’s happening, but I just wanted to tell you that this menu goes hard

[gusty vine]

Very old pic but:

[distant sinew]

thanks man

[green crest]

I had a similar problem but don't remember why. I just put the logo in the background video and disabled the logo

[distant sinew]

alright thanks, i'll see if it works

[molten stump]

Do you have the watermarkremover mod?

It causes this

[distant sinew]

yes i do tysm

[kindred plume]

I was inspired by some of the works here. I decided to share my menu from the mod pack. Maybe someone will like it.
https://youtu.be/FTAI5IS6_n0

P.S. - I haven't added my logo along with the loading screen yet.

[gusty vine]

Holy crap, that’s incredible!

[distant sinew]

will there ever be the possibility to move the buttons or is that something that's just not possible

[gusty vine]

You can do some level of adjustment but you can’t move them from the left side

Take my Windows XP theme for example (which I REALLY need to get around to uploading)

[gusty vine]

Did you use any pre-existing mods in making this (outside of Emblem, obviously)? Or is the music/background all original?

it goes hard af and I’d love to have something similar haha

[kindred plume]

Used:

• Emblem (The background video was made by Myself based on the trailer from GibbsonTV)
• IntroTweak (for faster debugging)
• BetterMenuSong (because it's banger)

[gusty vine]

Once you’re done everything, you should totally upload it to thunderstore!

I imagine a nice few people would love something like that

The video and music sync really well too— was that intentional?

Also dang, I definitely need to check out that trailer

[kindred plume]

To be honest, the synchronization happened by accident. In general, it was originally planned that the trailer would only be a temporary solution before we record different footage from the game.

[distant sinew]

i meant more as in a possible update where the buttons become movable

[delicate pewter]

I installed in a new profile with only these mods, It still didn't work as it used to.
I assume it doesnt work with gale mod manager since i switched to it sometime ago before getting a new theme

[delicate jungle]

I'll update my themes, Giant theme is really outdated. Its probably a me issue

[delicate pewter]

oh i just used that mod as an example lol, it doesnt work with any themes from what i've tested

those themes you have are definitely sick ngl, no pun intended

[delicate jungle]

I'll get back to themes soon, they'll be even better ^^

[delicate pewter]

yeah so its an issue with gale, reinstalling through r2modman made it work

[serene kelp]

Im away from my machine for probably another month here guys, in a bush camp fighting fires

[wise willow]

hey man, quick question. im trying to add my custom emblem as a dependency. what would the syntax look like?

    "name": "BepInExPack",
    "version_number": "5.4.2100",
    "website_url": "https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx",
    "description": "BepInEx pack for Mono Unity games. Preconfigured and ready to use.",
    "dependencies": [
          ????:????
]
}```

[serene kelp]

Just download one of the existing emblem themes in a new profile and look at the code. I can't remember exactly how it goes

[wise willow]

okay bet, thank you

[keen oar]

@serene kelp

When I load into a game with more company I see the more company logo over the loading video even though I'm adding a custom logo on the main screen.

It apears on the main screen the more company one does not, when I go into the loading screen the custom one disapears and the more company one appears

[serene kelp]

Did you add a custom loading image? It can be the same as the main one

[keen oar]

I did

[keen oar]

@serene kelp

What should I do

[serene kelp]

Fresh profile, install only emblem + morecompany and play with it till it works

[keen oar]

Ok

[keen oar]

it still happens

019215b9-1e47-e385-dc96-4b9a049322fa

[serene kelp]

Can you just dm your config file, I haven't opened the game in months

[keen oar]

it has some other configs since its from the mopdpack but its only emblem and more company, also bepinex

[keen oar]

@serene kelp

[serene kelp]

## Enable or disable loading image replacement.
# Setting type: Boolean
# Default value: false
Enable = false

Change this to true

[keen oar]

ok

[pallid river]

When you come back, please look into allowing GIFs alongside PNGs and mp4's

Or at the very least the ability to cache assets to memory, because loading 5MB worth of pictures every second isn't very friendly on the drive

[low ice]

gif is not supported by unity

[fluid mist]

You could probably create a mp4 video for the animation

I think I remember sickboy converting a gif to mp4 for one of his themes

[pallid river]

Well you see, I created a 150MB video file and it still had compression artifacting

[fluid mist]

Hmmmm

[fluid mist]

You might have to ask s1ckboy how he managed to work around that

[pallid river]

It's probably the very low contrast of the background, but the artifacting looked like hot garbage

A gif file on the other hand was perfect, so a damn shame I cant do that

[pallid river]

You think caching the images would help at all?

[honest grotto]

@serene kelp
Do you intend to add more features to the mod?

I have some requests if you are interested. 😄

[hoary jasper]

hello, i'm having an issue with emblem, my title on the menu have white border when i add some colors to it, i tried to redo it multiple times but it won't change, does someone have any clue why it happen ? here is a image of the problem :

it should look like this :

[pallid river]

The lines on "random company" are transparent, which means the static background shines through making it look whiter

[hoary jasper]

i'm not sure to understand, but i have disabled background and different effects, cleaned up some transparency on the first 2 letters, and nothing really changed

[serene kelp]

Are you trying to change the color with the config or the png image?

Also can u upload your raw logo image here?

[green crest]

This looks like a png with weird export settings, try to change them like export in 8 bit/not in 8bit, pass your file through a png optImiser like online tools, etc.

[hoary jasper]

here is how i changed the color of the text.
sorry i did not found how to change my software language. @serene kelp the raw image you asked for, is it the .psd file format ?

@green crest I'll try different settings thanks, i also have an image of my export setting if you want to see through it, and if you don't mind French.

i just used a online png optimizer with these export settings on the image, and it seems to work (the logo is not the same but i was having the exact same problem with this one too)

thanks you all for helping !

[gusty vine]

@serene kelp I finally got around to finishing it! lol

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Alecksword/Windows_XP_Theme/

It only took five months

Got to release it on Windows XPs anniversary though!

[serene kelp]

Wow good job!

[gusty vine]

tysm! ^-^

[bronze matrix]

btw in the next version of MoreCompany CrewCountField(Clone) is gonna be renamed to MC_CrewCount (not sure when swipez is gonna release the update though)

[serene kelp]

Damn, sounds like y'all are gonna make me open this project up again after all eh

[bronze matrix]

😂

[serene kelp]

Just ping me when it happens

[bronze matrix]

it pains me seeing that you do each element separately 🤣

couldn't you technically for example get all TMP_Dropdown components within certain UI paths (with .GetComponentsInChildren) then do the styling from the parent of each one?

cuz that'd work for all dropdowns, input fields etc then you could do the colours for the borders n stuff manually like you already do

[serene kelp]

Think i did try that, but the whole UI is just hacked together, there aren't that many reuseable patterns to follow. Every section has some strange bug that doesn't make sense. Feels more like theming a MySpace profile.

[bronze matrix]

well the styling is usually the same for all text fields, dropdowns, toggles etc

[serene kelp]

Yeah but they didn't use the styling the way unity was meant to. Most of the colors are set using inline text hex codes.

There isn't any consistency either, what works in one place doesn't work in another. In the end i just opted to use a stack of constants to have some semblance of maintainability.

[bronze matrix]

This seems to work fairly well from the small testing I've just done

TMPro.TMP_InputField[] inputFields = GameObject.Find("Canvas/MenuContainer").GetComponentsInChildren<TMPro.TMP_InputField>(true).ToArray();
foreach(TMPro.TMP_InputField inputField in inputFields) {
    inputField.textComponent.overrideColorTags = true;
    inputField.textComponent.color = new Color(0, 255, 0);
    if (inputField.placeholder)
        inputField.placeholder.color = new Color(0, 255, 0);
    inputField.GetComponent<UnityEngine.UI.Image>().color = new Color(0, 0, 255);
}```

the only field it doesnt seem to work properly for is the morecompany crew size (which it changes the text color but not the background)

[serene kelp]

I can certainly give this a whirl, depends on how deep i feel like optimizing. Theming the submenus took way too long.

[bronze matrix]

Swipez pushed the update

[serene kelp]

Okay ill put together a hotfix

[bronze matrix]

is there by any chance a github repo for Emblem?

cuz if not that could be nice so people could add PRs to add support for various mods n stuff

[serene kelp]

Ye I'm thinking about it, ill get to it tomorrow, busy with Halloween tonight, was too tired from work last night

[gusty vine]

I take full credit for reviving Emblem /j

[serene kelp]

I'm digging in now, wow i forgot what the mod launcher was called, its been a while

[serene kelp]

Ahah, they also fixed the cosmetics button appearing in the init scene, i can remove that fix. nice

But now the crewcount objects arent created until the Host button is actually clicked... ugh

[serene kelp]

Got the crew count working

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

[bronze matrix]

nice

[serene kelp]

Oh boy... like hwhaaat

[honest grotto]

I forgot haha. I will try to remember. I should have wrote it down.

I will get back to you 😛

[fluid mist]

Hope this will also work with the upcoming LobbyImprovements update too

@bronze matrix you should maybe let Darkbrewery test it so they can add compat if need be

[serene kelp]

Just ping me on release, i'll twist things into place.

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

Mayube if I have time tomorrow I'll dig into doing the discorrd link thing for other buddy that was asking forever ago

[rugged field]

in 1.6.0 im changing crew count but it isnt staying what i change it to, it used to and it would also change the config setting in the MoreCompany player count config setting

[fluid mist]

That's a bug with MoreCompany atm not Emblem

Cus it's still using the config value, basically the number there is doing nothing atm lol

[gusty vine]

Let’s gooooo

[bronze matrix]

Ah yeah forgot to say not to do that

Since it's pointless as it won't work in the next update I do to lobbyimprovements 😂

[serene kelp]

Well that really sucks cuz it was a real hair puller

[weary briar]

can anyone make this an emblem that says Infected Company?

would it also be possible to make the colour match the screen on the left and the logo red

[bronze matrix]

with the unreleased version of LobbyImprovements it looks like https://i.gyazo.com/719663d4714e7301297a8ea2fe3d1904.png 😂

also i just noticed a very small bug but on the lobby list if you click the sort dropdown then click off it then it has a red border

[gusty vine]

Woah that’s a complete overhaul

Will it remain compatible with LCBetterSaves?

[bronze matrix]

i dont touch the save file section at all so yeah

[fluid mist]

@serene kelp Just noticed there's a bug right now, I noticed it seems like it's defaulting to selecting public instead of friends only

I remember you did this before too

lol

[serene kelp]

That's up to you to use the mod to make your own theme bud

[serene kelp]

mmk, well i'll troubleshoot once a version is up

[serene kelp]

yaaaaa, damnit

[weary briar]

how do you use emblem theres no vids on how to use it

[serene kelp]

There's instruction in the file when you download it, you can also look at other themes and copy the way they do it

[weary briar]

ok

[bronze matrix]

There is also a conflict on the current version of LobbyImprovements that I just noticed, the join button on the LAN lobby list doesn't work when Emblem is enabled (it seems to be caused by your HoverButtonDirect method so i'd guess it's the RemoveAllListeners removing the listener that I add to the button)

[serene kelp]

How far away is your new version of LobbyImprov?

[bronze matrix]

I'll push it in a few mins

just need to add one or two things

[bronze matrix]

but about this i'm slightly confused why you even need to do RemoveAllListeners in most of the places you do it as you mostly just add a listener that changes the color?

[serene kelp]

Think i was just trying to prevent them from persisting into the game i dunno, i''ll rework

Either that or theres some wacky listeners messing with what i was trying to do

[weary briar]

this is how im thinking it will look

might try and make the logo slightly transparent

[weary briar]

do i have to publish the theme on thunder store or can my friends see the theme if theyre using the same modpack as me?

[serene kelp]

Yes you have to upload to thunderstore so they can download it all put together

[weary briar]

ok thx

[weary briar]

its saying its missing icon.png when i try and upload it but i already put an icon at the start of the zip file

[bronze matrix]

Just released it

[weary briar]

what have i done wrong????

[bronze matrix]

missing comma after the last " on the website_url line

[weary briar]

thank you

how long does it take for it to be added to the thunder store app?

[gusty vine]

Depends, tends to range from 30-60 minutes

[weary briar]

alright thanks

[gusty vine]

np

[serene kelp]

I mean, it looks sick af, but yeah, i'll jump in sometime here and make it better

[honest grotto]

Damn that looks sick haha

[worn dune]

I need some help
First of all, I have no pictures for the menu, just a black screen and it's not on the boot screen either.
Secondly, the version name settings and orange corners are always displayed in the original style, even if I have hidden or changed the color of them

Also I wonder if these parts of the game (screenshots below) can be made not orange and change the color of the background and text?

[worn dune]

It all started when I put the boot screens mod on. It's like mods like that just break my settings even after uninstalling it

[fluid mist]

Are you gonna update Emblem soon to fix it auto selecting Public? ;o

[serene kelp]

I will yeah when i find some free time to sit down and look at this

[serene kelp]

Did you set the true/false flags? Did you check the console logs?

[serene kelp]

The main menu yes this is an option. The in-game esc menu: no this is not planned

[worn dune]

Yes turned on and off, I rebuilt my build without mods on emblem and put only the original mod emblem and everything works fine

It's not the first time I've noticed this, if just the original mod is standing there is no problem. If I install someone else's theme for the main screen, then after uninstalling the mod everything breaks without the ability to fix everything manually

[worn dune]

Sad to hear this, the game clearly needs a mod that would be able to change the color of the main game menu and HUD (from inventory, HP bar and stamina to the color of the player scanner (if possible, in general you can and without it)).

[gusty vine]

I’m pretty sure there’s mods for all of those but the escape menu lol

[serene kelp]

The in-game menus would take a lot of time and effort, It's been implemented in a very hack-y way.
My original idea was to actually just make a fancy HUD framework so people could make custom HUDS but then life happened

[serene kelp]

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

Happy Friday

[fluid mist]

Ooh let's goooo

[serene kelp]

Lemme know how that works, ill play around more tomorrow

[fluid mist]

@low ice if you want feel free to profile the update

[fluid mist]

Oh it also no longer recolors the Cosmetic button?

;o

Yeah the lag is fixed

[serene kelp]

Damnit, ugh, i'll update tomorrow

[fluid mist]

Tbh I'm just glad the lag is fixed

XD

Running a coroutine check every frame is bad, I'm surprised it never caused issues sooner lol

[serene kelp]

Yeah I had a brainfart on where to attach the listener, usually im pretty diligent on the runaway processes

[serene kelp]

Do you have lobby improvements installed?

[fluid mist]

Yeah, is that why?

lol

[serene kelp]

Yeah i messed up some logic once i realized lobbyimprovements overrides the morecompany crewcount so I did:

{
    SetupCrewCountListener();
    SetColor(COSMO_BUTTON, Highlight);
}```
instead of
```if (PluginFinder.MoreCompany)
{
    if (!PluginFinder.LobbyImprov) SetupCrewCountListener();
    SetColor(COSMO_BUTTON, Highlight);
}```

[fluid mist]

Ahhhh

[serene kelp]

lol, i'll push a new version with more fixes later

it's been a while

[west tusk]

how do i add custom menu music to this thing?

if you can

not too sure

[winged plaza]

Either add the music to the menus background or use loaforcssoundapi

Two Examples:
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/s1ckboy/SCP_Theme/
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/itekso/SCPCB_Theme/

[delicate jungle]

Mine is outdated - my music is in the background and I use sound api to remove the basic menu music. Im pretty sure thats not needed anymore

[fluid mist]

@serene kelp Are you still gonna post the fixes for LobbyImprovements recoloring and stuff soon?

[serene kelp]

Yes

[west tusk]

how do i add the music to the menu?

[winged plaza]

I just followed in s1ckboy's wake, my background is a video with the sound but im sure if you use the sound api you just replace

Canvas:MenuManager:Menu1

[Looping] Main menu music

Source

[west tusk]

so just have the mp4 background play sound?

ok

[west tusk]

so i did your method of doing it via background, but how do i mute the normal background music?

[winged plaza]

Manually download one of the links I shared before and you'll see the setup s1ckboy did that mutes the sound.

[west tusk]

sorry to bother but what do i do to remove the basic menu music that doesn't require the api?

[delicate jungle]

im pretty sure these a config for it in emblem (?), ive seen a couple of menumods without using the sound api

[west tusk]

ok

[west tusk]

so im looking in emblem's config and im not seeing the option, am i missing something?

[heady vine]

Emblem and Imperium appear to have a conflict. With Imperium enabled it seems to be pushing the custom version number from Emblem off-screen.
I've also noticed Emblem's version number shows up on top of other menus, is this intended?

[serene kelp]

Imperium is a debugging tool and has many conflicts with many mods, this is by design.

[heady vine]

Fair enough, though what about the version number appearing on top of other menus? (without Imperium installed)

[serene kelp]

Yeah the version number is weird, the og vanilla way was to hide it on some menus and not others so I've kindoif just gone with trying to standardize it across all menus. Is it obstructing anything? Pretty sure I made it click through-able so it doesn't block interactions.

[west tusk]

so is there no way to disable the vanilla menu music?

[bronze matrix]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Graze/MenuMusicMute/
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/qewqewl0l/MuteMainMenuMusic/

[west tusk]

oh

ok

when i upload an emblem mod, does it save the config by default?

so it just has the settings i put to it by default

@bronze matrix ?

[bronze matrix]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Lunxara/Lunxaras_Christmas_Theme/ click the manual download option then look at the contents of the zip

1. Make sure you have a manifest.json, icon.png & README.md
2. Create a folder named config and copy ur Darkbrewery.Emblem.cfg into it
3. Make sure your manifest.json has Darkbrewery-Emblem-1.6.2 in the list of dependencies
4. Make sure you don't include any files from Emblem (like the dll or anything else, the zip should only contain the files I just mentioned and ofc any videos/images etc that you use)

[serene kelp]

Read the instructions file that comes with the emblem zip

[heady vine]

I don't think it blocks interactions no, but if I use center alignment and increase the padding, the overlap is especially obvious in places like the host menu which doesn't look great. With left/right alignment it's not much of an issue but still a bit noticeable.

[serene kelp]

Hopefully theme designers test for this then

[dawn star]

How can i do it?

I have the christmas one, and i can't see it.

[fluid mist]

If you're using Gale

Uninstall it, delete your emblem config, then reinstall

Gale doesn't auto overwrite the config

So you have to do that and then it'll work

:3

I kind of wish @verbal finch would just add an option to allow overwriting configs

[dawn star]

I am not

[fluid mist]

I would still try that

should fix it

[verbal finch]

wdym? Mod updates already overwrite config files

[wispy vector]

Im sturggling to change stuff for my modpack

[fluid mist]

@serene kelp Any eta yet on the update?

[serene kelp]

Thanks for the reminder, ill see what i can do here couple days

[fluid mist]

That was what the reminder was for

😂

[fluid mist]

@serene kelp Once again sending a reminder for the update

[worn dune]

I've been looking for mods that could change the game menu, but haven't found any like this. If this mod in the future allows you to change the color of the game menu, that would be cool. I would also like to be able to change the color of the worker when the update announcement comes up (below screenshot)

[pallid river]

Iirc the red is part of the image and thus can't be changed

[serene kelp]

Ye that's right, I've tried changing it and it will always be a shade of red, overlaying a color tint is possible but the red channel is fully saturated

[serene kelp]

Making progress

[fluid mist]

Yay

Been hoping to see it happen soon so I can update my Christmas Theme :3

[serene kelp]

I see a few ways to refactor the way I'm doing this to make it easier but for now im gonna just use the way I used before. Don't feel like chasing new bugs.

[fluid mist]

Lol fair, so long as we don't run into the issues with performance again

That was a mess

😂

[serene kelp]

Yeah runaway processes. Luckily lobbyimprovements only needed a tiny delay and not a listener

[fluid mist]

Hooray

[serene kelp]

Ugh I couldn't help myself, now im in a rabbit hole

Getting closer

Doing things in batches, so much easier

[serene kelp]

This works well for text but for images like borders and icons its a bit more complex

[serene kelp]

Okay think thats good for now

Verified lan mode too:

[fluid mist]

Yay

[serene kelp]

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

Giver a test lemme know if I missed anything

Config has not changed

[fluid mist]

The red section prolly has a specific area to be recolored

Since Dark showcased it

Dunno yet

@serene kelp If you don't mind me asking, what controls the LobbyImprovements colors? Cus I saw you got it pink

Unsure how to make it not be red

[serene kelp]

Should be part of your emblem config

[rough mesa]

It doesn't get changed

It gets stuck at the pink without the submenu colors or red with it on

[serene kelp]

This is what I was using

[rough mesa]

Even in the images posted earlier it's the same case it seems

Though I guess a little different there

[serene kelp]

Lemme play with this for a sec i'll try white

Ok ye im dumb, i'll dig in to it

[fluid mist]

[serene kelp]

Should it be this dark or just slightly darker than the server access panel?

Ye this is better

Any other bugs before I wrap this up for upload?

[fluid mist]

I haven't found any :3

[serene kelp]

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

Some things are easier than others lol, thanks for letting me know guys

But now what I want to know is why doesn't emblem appear on the site?@honest grotto
ex: https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/

[rough mesa]

It's put under Asset Replacements

[serene kelp]

How would I remove the asset replacements tag?

[honest grotto]

Endox is correct. Reupload the mod and list it as a mod. 😛

When you upload you have to select what "Tags" it has. Make sure you use the mod tag and not the asset replacement tag.

[serene kelp]

I must've used it once by accident, i haven't used it in forever, always mod

[honest grotto]

hmm

[serene kelp]

Oh wait i found where i can remove tags, see if this works

[honest grotto]

If it still does not fix it. You can ask for more experienced helpers here. https://discord.com/channels/1168655651455639582/1184530215733575910
😄

[serene kelp]

Awesome thanks!

[serene kelp]

Nope, thanks for bug testing

[serene kelp]

Fixed

[wispy vector]

Im sorry if this has alr been awnsered but how do i make a config im making a mod that adds a theme

[serene kelp]

The config is auto generated with R2modman. There's an instructions file in the emblem folder

[wispy vector]

ok thank you so much

[serene kelp]

If you run into any issues, just download one of the newer emblem themes on thunderstore to see how the files are organized

[wispy vector]

I can only get audio form a video how do i fix this?

[serene kelp]

Most people been using loaforcs sound api for title audio, then do blank video sound.

[wispy vector]

im trying to use this for my loading screen

nvm i got it working

wrong file size

[serene kelp]

Dont remember but i think sound might be disabled for loading mp4s to prevent audio overlap from the main mp4

[wispy vector]

it was to small for unity

[wispy vector]

its working now

[fluid sundial]

some people talk about this mod having a memory leak, is it true? i thought that was months ago, and that it got fixed

[serene kelp]

It was fixed

back in 1.6.2 release

[fluid sundial]

that's what i thought

thanks for clearing it up

[blissful dagger]

🤔

for some reason a sharp white light pops up when the mp4 download starts on the "downloading" screen @serene kelp

does it really hurt my eyes, or did I do something wrong?

Perhaps the screen resolution should be reduced to 1280x720

[serene kelp]

Thats a new one for me, u got all your backgrounds set to black?

[blissful dagger]

stop

I think I figured out what the problem is, just a second

I fixed everything

Color had a different value that caused the white screen to pop up

there is no such thing anymore

Thanks for your help!

[analog crypt]

I noticed that the RAM consumption goes up with Emblem when slideshow is active (i left the game open for sometime on the main menu)

[pallid river]

It also nukes performance at high refresh rates

[serene kelp]

In game after the menus are closed?

[pallid river]

Not ingame no, but while in the main menu

[serene kelp]

That's to be expected, there's a lot going on

[pallid river]

Someone reported to me that the first version of LRE caused them to go down to 10 fps or something. I don't remember the swap period I had on slideshow, but it wasn't THAT fast

Granted it did drop my FPS a bit as well, in hindsight anyway

[rugged field]

Are these problems just from the experimental features?

[analog crypt]

Mainly slideshow

[fast hollow]

Hey all, I had a thread a while back talking about a mod to add back the title and menu screen effects from v30. I just thought that this could be a good mod to try to add those, they are somewhat similar to the CRT effect already in this mod. Thanks!

I would link my thread but it is not coming up. Just go in #1188298686560739389 and search “v30 title screen” and feel free to post in it

[fast hollow]

It was a bloom effect, but for the menu graphics as opposed to the background. They also had a staticky texture layered on them

[whole vine]

Is it possible to make this work in-game as well for the pause screen?

[fast hollow]

There are mods that add a VHS filter to the gameplay, though they are manual install only because of what they need to change

[whole vine]

Thank you for your response. I'm looking specifically for something that can edit this menu though https://puu.sh/Kn8iU/d002854a19.png

[fast hollow]

In v30 that menu did have the effect, which I was hoping could be a part of this mod. Unfortunately though it seems development has stopped by the lack of traffic here

[empty beacon]

hey, could there be a way to lower/disable the volume of the main background when its a mp4?

this one's pretty cool but its a bit too loud

[empty beacon]

yeah but that wont reflect on the code i share w/ a friend

[molten stump]

I could lower the volume by a bit

[empty beacon]

thatd be awesome

its great but we cant hear the lethalphones' ringtones

love the mod by the way

[molten stump]

Sorry for the wait. I've just updated the mod

[empty beacon]

lov you

[molten stump]

Any idea why the version text is not centered here?

Logs in case that matters

[fluid mist]

This means you have another mod messing with it, such as Imperium usually

[molten stump]

Ah I added Imperium to record that menu earlier, maybe thats why then

will try to disable it

[molten stump]

Yup that fixed it, thanks

[willow vapor]

Does Emblem still have memory leak issues?

[fluid mist]

No, it never had one iirc

[willow vapor]

Alright

Mandela effect

[sharp cosmos]

Came back to praise 🫶

Updating modpack for the latest version

[empty beacon]

holy banner

[sharp cosmos]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Enratic/Dark_Aether_Assets/
Legacy version if ya'll want the origonal, it's for V49 though

@serene kelp I know ur a busy guy but was this ever considered to be re colorable? Fair enough that development stopped because of low traffic

[serene kelp]

Yeah think i marked that as out of scope of the project. The in-game menus are a whole other animal since its a different scene and there's basically unlimited conflicts with other mods

[sharp cosmos]

That's rough

[empty beacon]

who made the art anyway

its fuckin nuts

like all of it

im looking thru the zip file

[sharp cosmos]

@empty beacon https://siricanis.carrd.co/

I had to do some touch ups to it, it's not the origonal

[empty beacon]

it was legendary

[sharp cosmos]

Header is my work though btw

[ornate burrow]

sick ass backround

[serene kelp]

There is a custom menu item section

[ornate burrow]

is it out rn?

[sharp cosmos]

Releasing next week alongside my modpack as a standalone

[supple ginkgo]

how exactly do you upload your own emblem title screen as a mod?

[keen oar]

@serene kelp Is there a way to add a second custom button and have a button that will open a link.

[serene kelp]

No, not in this mods current form. Decided against it because it would be too complex having to validate what people put in the link and the need to put a "do you trust this" modal confirm popup.

[supple ginkgo]

??

[fluid sundial]

there are 2 main parts

1 is the files themselves, which would be in a filestructure like this (eifiesredux is my pack, you can use any name you want)

the other is the config file, which would be in this folder structure

config will have options like this, configure it however you want

and then include those two sets in the bepinex file, and upload to TS (following the normal conventions of package uploading like icon, manifest, readme)

[serene kelp]

Theres an instructions file in the zip

[fluid mist]

@serene kelp If you feel like maybe doing some working on Emblem sometime soon sounds like some optimizations are needed

[fluid sundial]

why would emblem of all things be doing path tracing (going off my current interpretation of PT being a component of ray tracing)

unless path tracing means something else in this sense

[fluid mist]

Prolly means something else in this sense

[fluid sundial]

if it's a meaning like "tracing the path to menu items" or something, can't that be cached on first startup?

[serene kelp]

Y'all gonna have to show more numbers, with no features enabled vs lots of features. Theres vfx and a shader, Dynamic game objects everywhere and tons of hacks to hack over zeekers hacks. Its been so long i can't remember half of whats in there and its not likely that im going to open this can of worms unless there's a really good reason to.

[fluid mist]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Lunxara/Lunxaras_Menu_Theme/ I mean in this case it would have been using this which is a rather simple theme tbh

[serene kelp]

I don't know how to interpret the chart. There's k's of lines of code in emblem from all the features requested, I would need to know exactly how bad the issue is and what in general im looking for. Does it happen in game or just launching? Toaster PC vs New? Is there 4k anime playing on the ships TV?

If the question is does Emblem need to be doing this? The answer is always yes, Emblem was asked to literally do almost everything.

[sharp cosmos]

@ornate burrow https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Enratic/Dark_Aether_Assets/

[ornate burrow]

the only thing in that back is the packround right

[sharp cosmos]

music replacement too which u can just delete

[ornate burrow]

nah i fw the music replacement

nice ty

[ornate burrow]

i just noticed it was called assets and looks to be a part of a pack

thats why i was curious

[sharp cosmos]

Yea it's for this

[ornate burrow]

ur using an old version of emblem

is it OK to update it

[sharp cosmos]

1.6.4 is the latest

might need to wait for it to go update on the Thunderstore end

[ornate burrow]

oh ok

[ornate burrow]

is it supposed to look like this

[ornate burrow]

.

[sharp cosmos]

lemme investigate

[sharp cosmos]

It downloaded 1.2.0?

Isn't showing 1.2.0 on the app yet

[ornate burrow]

ohhh thats why

ill wait a bit

[sharp cosmos]

I'll ping u when it's ready

[ornate burrow]

alr

[sharp cosmos]

there may or may not be a missing config 🙂

Need to push out a fix

[ornate burrow]

ok

[sharp cosmos]

Went ahead and pushed the updated .zip. Thunderstore is just slow :\

[ornate burrow]

all good

[sharp cosmos]

@ornate burrow It's up and working

[ornate burrow]

alr try

ty*

[ornate burrow]

@sharp cosmos

is it supposed to have the music too

should I reinstall this?

[sharp cosmos]

Don't update it lol

Should be on 2.0.4

I just tested it on a fresh profile, works as it should

[ornate burrow]

I had it updated because I am also using lethal resonance

and some other mods depend on it

[sharp cosmos]

2.0.4 should work fine, it's what I use in my main pack

[ornate burrow]

how come it doesnt work on 2.0.5

[sharp cosmos]

Something loaforc did

[ornate burrow]

how come the settings and quit button are funky

tryna fix it rn

[ornate burrow]

fixed it

your emblem mod is dope bro

[gusty crag]

you're just wrong? 2.0.5 and 2.0.4 are literally the exact same code, i just bumped the version because i uploaded the mod to another game

[sharp cosmos]

Conflicts with your other mods

[sharp cosmos]

Causes issues with my pack so idk bro. 2.0.4 works perfect but when I switch to 2.0.5 it breaks it

[ornate burrow]

I tweaked a bunch of stuff in emblem, it works now

u had the size out of whack for the menu words

and the sound just naturally fixed itself I guess

[frail ocean]

can anyone jump in a vc and help me with emblem i've been trying to figure out where to put the images and i've tried just about everything for the last 3 hours.

or just help : )

[modest ledge]

I cannot fin the config

*find

It says its in BepInEx/Config but thats not there

Am i ment to make one from scratch?

Ima just steal one rq

It also seems to overrwrite my changes with default ones

[serene kelp]

Still need help? sorry for being away, you can dm me

[modest ledge]

Naw I got it

[foggy pelican]

How do I upload a custom menu to thunderstore?

I made one and there are people who said they'd like to use it but I never uploaded anything to the thunderstore

[serene kelp]

How did it work out?

[foggy pelican]

It still hasn't shown in the modlist

[serene kelp]

Looks like its up tho
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/DamageMaximo/Alternative_LC_Menu/versions/

[foggy pelican]

Yeah, but when I click install it says that

[serene kelp]

Maybe something is missing ffrom the zip?

[foggy pelican]

The other times I updated it really took a long time to show up, maybe that's what's happening. When I uploaded it said it worked and even updated it

So I guess I just gotta wait a bit longer

I'm always refreshing the mod list

[delicate jungle]

It takes a while for it to appear in modmanagers

[serene kelp]

Sometimes its painfully long time

[serene kelp]

Any issues with your themes working? I haven't checked lately, I don't think much has changed

[delicate jungle]

Havent touched lethal stuff in a hot minute, been a bit burnt out and busy with life. When I find some time I work on some REPO mods but Im planning to get back to LC stuff too

[elder sluice]

I do have a question, I created an addonmod for Emblem, using another (working) mod as a skeleton.
When I manually download the mod I created from thunderstore website, it gets everything working (with the plugin/name/Emblem/Background assets)

Though when I install with modmanager (from website or r2modman client) it puts every file in /plugin/name and destroys the directory hierarchy.
Does someone know how to fix that?

[serene kelp]

This is a known issue with the mod managers / thunderstore. Only specific folders will be preserved. Follow the folder structure as described in the instructions.md to solve the issue.

[pallid fjord]

lethal phones disables all experimental effects on the main menu

for some reason

iv brought this issue up in the lethal phones channel

but felt like i should mention it here too

[fluid mist]

@serene kelp If you ever get around to updating this mod sometime you should add support for the RGB picker in LethalConfig

[inner dragon]

Any idea and solution to my logo coming out weird ingame? The source image is fine but it gets white pixels around the edges when it is pulled ingame

Not sure how well the screenshot shows it.
I'm assuming it's some kind of anti aliasing effect going weird, but I'm not sure what best to do to fix it

[inner dragon]

Also, can't seem to get the loading screen preview to work

[fluid sundial]

i stuck my menuchangelog.txt in the same folder that my pngs are in, why can't it find them?

[alpine blaze]

Why is it that everytime i zip everything together and upload it as a mod , once i download it from thunderstore it like ungroups everything and there is no more folders anymore ,

[warped lava]

you did BepInEx/plugins/Emblem ?

[alpine blaze]

I just zipped this format Darkbrewery/Emblem/Background/(examplepng)

[delicate jungle]

Thunderstore requires a set of folderstructure to know where they belong

plugins, config folders are important

[alpine blaze]

So like what would dat look like

[warped lava]

Exemple name/BepInEx/plugins/Emblem/Background

You zip BepInEx with icon, manifest, READme

And you upload this zip

[delicate jungle]

• BepInEx
  • configs
    • modified config file
  • plugins
    • rest of the stuff how Emblem has it, but theres also a guide when you download emblem
• icon
• manifest
• changelog
• readme

[alpine blaze]

?

[delicate jungle]

Icon, manifest, changelog, readme are meant to be out of the bepinex folder and then zipped altogether

[alpine blaze]

So inside of my named mod folder this order? and then everything else is the same

thank you btw

[delicate jungle]

And then you’d zip all these 4 together

[outer token]

Emblem is no longer working on v80 😔

[fluid mist]

I didn't even bother to test Emblem

But not surprised

I will deprecate my Emblem mods prolly

[fluid mist]

Ummmm

It works fine?

[outer token]

oh?

[outer token]

Last time I've checked it was not working

let me check again lol

[fluid mist]

Make sure some other mod didn't error first

lol

It could have been a chain reaction

[outer token]

forget it, it works lol

[serene kelp]

WTF is V80??? Lol I forgot i even made this mod

[fluid mist]

The biggest update to release in a long time

lol

[delicate jungle]

What abot settings?

[fast vale]

Hey! Really want to share my emblem menu 😄
