Imperium

[bitter compass]

it's just swapping the executable and another file iirc

[distant stag]

https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/blob/main/Imperium/src/Core/Lifecycle/ObjectManager.cs

yeah this doesnt have a constructor

dont have the build on me to find the IL pointer

[bitter compass]

maybe its these?

[distant stag]

but the bindings and messages arent gameobjects

[bitter compass]

no yeah but you're creating them in the field itself, which i believe would cause it

@untold jay would know more than me here, im not too knowledgeable on this lol

[distant stag]

peak trolling

good old times reading through imperium code

[bitter compass]

lol

[distant stag]

but i do these assignments literally everywhere

that would be really hard and annoying to fix in eveyr lifecycle object

[bitter compass]

oh im blind

i just looked at the error

its this

[distant stag]

💀

[bitter compass]

you cant do this as a field assignment

[distant stag]

yeah might be this

i guess unity doesnt like load the layers or somehting when initializing objects

[bitter compass]

second one i assume you're doing GameObject.Find on a field

[distant stag]

where even is this lol

im blind too

ah its not at the top

L developer

[bitter compass]

liune 486

lol

yeah i just searched for it after seeing the error

[distant stag]

okay yeah thats an easy fix tho

[bitter compass]

yee, thankfully

[distant stag]

weird that this works in prod

like this one i get, but the find

i feel like find should never work in constructor

from how i understand unity

[bitter compass]

i dont know the exact internals of why the development/debug versions of unity games dont like this stuff but normal versions works, its odd

[distant stag]

yeah this is where the Find() is

this used to not work thats why I did it like referenced like that

[bitter compass]

lmao

[distant stag]

because AFAIK this shouldnt be executed right away

its like lazy loaded

but its not, because the base binding requires an immediate value

x)

welp

[bitter compass]

looks fun

[distant stag]

I guess I just also asign this in awake

[bitter compass]

yea

[distant stag]

its just annoying that unity cant use the object constructor

but then agian usually all the property data is defined in the UI

unlike with mods where its just normal programming

[bitter compass]

yea

[distant stag]

Well good catch, I'll add it to the changes, I don't have many but I guess its a good time to push an update sometime soon

I just never setup proper CICD for this project so I'll have to do it manually 💀

[bitter compass]

🫡

lol

[distant stag]

how are you doing? are you still actively modding? its been ages since ive been really active in the LC community

[bitter compass]

yee, been a bit on and off but i've poured a lot of work into this #1387434268577370324

its meant to be the successor of both LL and LLL, and so far really happy with it

occasionally do other stuff on the side too like coderebirth and other projects when im bored

itll take a bit for me to fully stop modding LC lol

wbu? i havent seen anything since REPO Imperium

[distant stag]

oh looks cool! and a lot of people are using it I see, nice!

[bitter compass]

yee it's been really nice seeing it get used and adopted by people :p

[distant stag]

yeah after imperium repo I had to focus on my bachelors thesis and after I finished that I just haven't really found any motivation to work on anything else modding related

[bitter compass]

fair enough i get that

[distant stag]

I still have large one projects like the level editor and simulacrum for LC which I probably poured houndreds of hours into

[bitter compass]

oh yeah i do remember that stuff, it was pretty cool from what i remembered

i do still get motiv for lethal cuz zeekerss is actively working on a bunch of cool stuff

[distant stag]

but idk after working on REPO I just really dont have the any motivation to work with lethal code anymore, its just so atrocious 💀

[bitter compass]

lol, i dont think its as bad as you'd remember tbh :p
Though the terminal is probably worse than you remember, that and weather

but other than that i think its okay quality

[distant stag]

yeah with simulacrum I kinda lost myself in details, I started doing a lot of art and VFX which was cool but also took me a long time because it was kinda new for me

i think it has potential, but again, id have to get back into the code and everything

[bitter compass]

its new skills, which learning stuff like that is kinda fun, i wish to sometimes just do vfx instead of coding 24/7 lol

[distant stag]

idk in repo everything just made so much more sense, it was nicer to patch and transpile some stuff because they have proper separation of concern and many good patterns
its not perfect but its a lot better than LC

[bitter compass]

i dont doubt it's better tbh, it does use a lot more abstraction and That_One_Keyword_I_Forgot_But_A_Bunch_Of_Isolated_Components

[distant stag]

like writing Imperium was fun but its also a huge buggy patchwork because zeekers code is all over the place
and idk I just have like an obsession with clean code, i get really demotivated if I consistently can't implement something in a clean and readable way

[bitter compass]

i do wish i enjoyed REPO's gameplay then maybe i'd be more invested into it

[distant stag]

probably part of the reason imperium is so overengineered and that it took me so long lol

[distant stag]

yeah honestly true

[bitter compass]

that's fair, i look back at some of my old code sometimes and its not great and i dont have motiv to improve it cuz its just so yucky lol

[bitter compass]

i remember reporting some really weird gameplay choices as bugs and later learning they're intended

like having mechanics to just make the new player specifically experience worse, and only new players 😭

it's still a good game, but not one i'd pour thousands, maybe 5 digit at this point hours like i would with lc lol

[distant stag]

trust me, it was so much easier to write imperium for repo than it was for lethal, granted its a much simpler game but they didnt have these huge global classes that did like everything (like the round manager and time of day and all those classes I dont remember the name of)

[bitter compass]

lol yeah truwe

[distant stag]

imperium for LC probably took like 700-1000 hours to implement while the rewrite for REPO took like 300

approximately

[bitter compass]

timeofday, roundmanager, startofround, they do probably 95% of the game

ignoring playercontrollerb's code

[distant stag]

yeah exactly

[distant stag]

yeha idk I honestly havent played either that much lol

I have like 700 hours in lethal but 90% of them are deving and testing

[bitter compass]

oh i dont mean playing, i probably have 300 lc hours of playing back before i modded and maybe 100 after i started modding it early 2 years ago 💀

[distant stag]

wait so wdym with 5 digit hours

if not playing

[bitter compass]

just spent on modding

coding, unity work, etc

[distant stag]

right yeah

[bitter compass]

it's been a very long and exhausting constant 2 years lol

i think i checked my commit history at some point and my biggest break was 3 days months ago 💀

[distant stag]

idk I switched to other projects now, started working with Rust and idk if I can ever see C# in the same way as I did a few years ago when it was like my favorite thing

[bitter compass]

it's probably better now since i got less interested around a couple months ago but damn it was a lot

[bitter compass]

average rust worshipper tbh

ill never touch rust because everyone i see says the same thing 😔 (i probably will eventually)

oh actually i have been thinking of doing hytale modding

but im waiting for my partner to come back from their hiatus to do it with em

[distant stag]

yeah twas the same for me, i never really had any motivation to do anything with it and i though it was overhyped af

but then i randomly decided to rewrite an old electron project of mine into tauri

and i have to say i really like it so far, like just the functional style of the language and the many features you dont have in other common languages like C++ java C#

[distant stag]

what engine / language does that game use?

[bitter compass]

I think java but I could be wrong

Java for server client is c# but mods are serversided

Is what I was told

Apparently hytale is also built in a way you can mod it without code

But I'm not really a fan of node modding

Or well, node editors in general

I don't trust how much you can do with em

[distant stag]

oh that sounds nice

but also kinda limited

no? xD

[distant stag]

node editors are legit the best thing ever

part of the reason why I love blender and embergen so much

[bitter compass]

i think they're cool and useful, but i prefer to raw dog code whatever i need

i wanna learn hlsl at some point to not use shadergraph

[distant stag]

haha fair enough

[oak venture]

I feel like shaders are exactly where you would want something visual like nodes. You can see what each node thingy does which is nice

[distant stag]

Me agrees

For anything procedural nodes are just goated

[bitter compass]

They are on the more helpful side, but it's also an example of something where you can do a looooot more when you're not using the nodes

[oak venture]

I barely have experience with shadergraphs but yeah I can believe that to be true. And technically there should be no reason why a shader written with code couldn't have previews for each step defined by the developer

[oak venture]

Actually idk I haven't written shaders with code

[bitter compass]

Me neither

[distant stag]

Yeah your always kind of restricted by what the nodes can do but if the nodes are powerful enough you should be able to do pretty much anything, like in blender geonodes

[distant stag]

Like at the end of the day it always comes down to vector maths, matrix transformations, trigonometry, etc and as long as there are nodes for these basic math operations you can probably do everything with them aswell

[oak venture]

true

[bitter compass]

Yea

[plucky granite]

Its a different world, a scary one at that too

[oak venture]

real

[elder pumice]

Why does Imperium behaves so differently for non host aaaah

[distant stag]

because a lot of things are coded very differently on host and client in this game

[elder pumice]

Pain

[distant stag]

agreed

[elder pumice]

Btw, anyway to spawn items that have the same names? Like let's say two mods adds buckets, but the items have the same name, is there a way to differentiate them, or like, copy one to get more?

(Trying to fix a save that got wipe because of v73 sorry twt

[distant stag]

unfortunately there is no way to do this as of now, as the only way to identify items in this game is via their name

there are ways to do this with content mods but as of now I have decided to go the vanilla way and just not support duplicate items in order to not have to care about content mod compat problems and all that

@bitter compass come to think of it, how does dawn lib do this? I thought LLL did something like generating unique names or something

[bitter compass]

if two people register an item with the same name its ok

but if the SAME person

registers two items with an identical name

there is no realistic way of generating a unique UUID that I or anyone can rely on

[distant stag]

so the unique ID incorporates the mod ID?

[bitter compass]

but yeah dawnlib uses a namespace system

mod_name:item_name

[distant stag]

yeah makes sense

[bitter compass]

then i have a registry list that's like LethalContent.Items.TryGetValue(NamespacedKey, out DawnItemInfo itemInfo); which returns a custom class with info about an item like its shop item nodes etc

[distant stag]

okay yeah thats kinda what I expected

[eternal perch]

Large Axle my beloved

[dark heath]

is the 69% sale on everything a bug or an intentional easter egg? (and also could there be a way to disable it?)

[tranquil swan]

I don’t remember which config category it’s in, but there’s an option named something like “DisableLeFunni” which removes this discount when set to true

I wish I could remember it more precisely 😢

[dark heath]

looks like this is it. i had no idea this existed, thanks for letting me know!

[tranquil swan]

Yep, you’re welcome

[distant stag]

[eternal perch]

noice

[dark heath]

how rare is the "Emporium Control Panel" easter egg? i just saw it for my second time earlier today

[distant stag]

It's 1% every time you start imperium

[alpine glacier]

Huh? There's an easter egg?

[dark heath]

yuh

[alpine glacier]

Huh... I wonder if I ever missed that

[dark heath]

dunno if this is known already but disabling the custom welcome text doesn't work

[bitter compass]

@distant stag you reckon there's a way for me to tell imperium to stop listening to inputs and then listen again? basically i have an item with a bunch of keybinds for debugging but the amount of keybinds kinda fuck with imperium so i was wondering if there was like a way for me to turn off imperium inputs while im holding that weapon

[tranquil swan]

The CHANCES of me getting the same easter egg in R.E.P.O. after checking this chat 🤣

Tbf, 1% isn't crazy rare, but it's still unbelievable lol

[burnt cradle]

erm

this is R.E.P.O. Imperium

[dark heath]

i knew there was a repo version of imperium but i never actually saw it, that's cool how it seems to look pretty much the same

[distant stag]

Uhh did you restart the whole game after changing the setting?

[distant stag]

HAHAAHA crazy

[distant stag]

The repo version is a lot better, I also revamped a lot of the UI stuff, there's bett r animations and all that
Couldn't be arsed tho to refactor the LC version aswell tho XD

[distant stag]

Uhh well you can do that by disabling the input maps. In the main file I think there are the functions to disable and enable Imperium and you could probably steal the input code from there

[bitter compass]

Okie

[hollow granite]

I kind of feel like it might not’ve worked for me either when I did it through the config in the mod manager before launching the game, but I can’t really remember. And I was focused on other things so I didn’t dig deeper/report

[dark heath]

Yeah I've had it off for a long time

[bitter compass]

another thing i'd wanna see different in the next update, stop reading scroll inputs when freecam isn't even turned on lol @distant stag

[dark heath]

it doesn't do that for me

[bitter compass]

i can tell it does because lethalperformance is spamming me about the input affecting configs, which im like fairly sure is because of freecam from imperium, but i could be wrong

[dark heath]

oh if it's something under the hood then yea i wouldnt know, i thought you meant the freecam speed increases if scrolling outside of freecam

[distant stag]

Weirdge, input maps should be turned off, but there are se things that could turn them back on, like minicam or the Fullscreen minicam

And maybe that could lead to it getting stuck in always on, or maybe it's just never turning it off when leaving the freecam, hard to say

[bitter compass]

hmm yeah unsure

[dark heath]

odd thing that isn't really a big deal but i wanted to share anyways, selecting & toggling options with the keyboard doesnt work even though the boxes visually change

[distant stag]

Lmao that's weird

I think I am just using the listeners unity provides, idk why keyboard and mouse control would make a difference

[dark heath]

feature request for next imperium update:
make it so that if you enable "Pause Time" and "Disable Quota" it stays enabled when you reload imperium

it would be amazing quality of life because almost every time i load imperium i need to enable both of them

[topaz matrix]

agreed that would be very nice

[feral sentinel]

+1 to this

pause indoor/outdoor/daytime spawning would also be nice (if you dont pause time)

[tranquil swan]

Would it be worth adding something like a “Remember settings on reload” option?

[hollow granite]

some do already save iirc

[distant stag]

well most of the settings are backed with bepinex configs and therefore saved automatically

[distant stag]

ive gotten this request before and I thought it might be confusing to have these as permanent settings as someone might forget that they turned it on and then get confused as to why the game is broken

[dark heath]

Yeah it definitely could be confusing if you don't realize it

I think it would be nice to have an option in lethal config to remember significant options like them, so you'd have to opt-in for it to be remembered

[distant stag]

well most of the configs are remembered, no?

like basically everything

[dark heath]

yeah but i mean just a toggle to make imperium remember these 2 things specifically

[alpine glacier]

I mean... Wouldn't they figure it out eventually? Like, they willingly installed Imperium and actually know that most settings carry over even between restarts...

Or maybe send a notification on moon landing or smth that time is paused

Or show a giant ass pause button in the sky

[eternal perch]

you'll definitely forget about it a couple of months later when you get back to hot fix your broken mod because zeekers update

[alpine glacier]

Still... 99% of the time I want time paused when testing my mods...

If I need an enemy, I just spawn them in

[eternal perch]

with that said, I'd also like to have a way to make those settings persistent, in order to support rebuild-restart-land-test workflow

[alpine glacier]

And you can just throw a notification at me every time I land. Similar to how god mode spams you full of notifications

[eternal perch]

notifications can be annoying tho. and there is already a list of toggles to turn them off

it's like a zero-sum UI/UX problem here

[hollow granite]

How about you can’t do anything or move because time is frozen, so you’re frozen with it? /j

[eternal perch]

The farther we drift, the slower the tide. But we won't stop until we arrive.

[alpine glacier]

Time Moves when you move

Superhot in Lethal Company

[distant stag]

hahaha you have a lot of faith in people

[distant stag]

but yeah I actually quite like this idea

[distant stag]

banger mod idea ngl

[alpine glacier]

Faith is my middle name :>
-# If I had any...

[barren raft]

Does the save editor work? I can't seem to get it to apply the changes I make, do I need to do something to confirm?

[distant stag]

it currently does not work, I hope to be able to fix it in the next update

[barren raft]

Ah I see

Is there an ETA for the update or just whenever it's ready?

[distant stag]

well I am kinda busy lately so I am not sure, I initially planned on releasing it with the new update but I think that will probably take another month

[barren raft]

I'm currently in a very long game of Wesley's (with an extend quota days mod) and at some point mobs stopped spawning (we're at day 115 or so), so I heavily suspect something about the day count breaks spawning, so I wanted to try reducing it manually

[barren raft]

alright

[distant stag]

id recommend you to use an external save file editor for now, I might just remove it completely from imperium in the future

[barren raft]

Do you have any recommendations for such an editor?

[distant stag]

I think I have used this one before: https://github.com/BEMZ01/LethalCompanySaveEditor/tree/gui-update
But this was a long time ago, so I have no idea if it still works

[topaz matrix]

https://es3.tusinean.ro/ i have not used it myself yet but i've been given this in the past

[distant stag]

ohh yeah true that one too

i forgot about this one, but I have used it before

[barren raft]

Thanks!

[desert silo]

lol

[dark heath]

the REAL imperium reveals itself.....

[desert silo]

[hollow granite]

Can't believe "Imperium's Daddy" is, in fact, NOT the father 😔

[dark heath]

hello i have another feature request :3 it'd be cool if you could set your health to a specific value in the imperium control panel

[topaz matrix]

[alpine glacier]

(Imperium) Daddy, can you add the persistent time pause while you're also fixing Imperium for v80?

[distant stag]

I am not sure how easily I can make UI adjustments. I don't have the project on hand right now and he also changed unity stuff in v80 from the looks of it

I am working on the update for v80 right now though

[bitter compass]

i got a questionn

zaggy told me that you said that runtime dungeon is in a new assembly now

or moved assemblies

but the namespace and dll its in seems to be the same so im confused

[distant stag]

yeah it doesn't matter at runtime

this is how the new assembly looks like

all the dungen stuff is now gone

[alpine glacier]

I didn't even realize 💀

[distant stag]

but at runtime everything stays the same, its just that if you use dungen stuff directly in your mod (as I am) you now have to add the dungen assembly as dependency

well he also updated the dungen version, so some stuff did change at runtime but thats besides the point

[distant stag]

Imperium v1.2 - v80 Update

This update brings compatibility with the Lethal Company v80 public beta, along with several long-standing bug fixes.

Note: Due to a lot of changes in the entity spawning, Oracle entity spawn prediction is currently broken.

General Changes

• Imperium now works with Lethal Company v80.
• Re-added functionality to spawn, despawn and manage vain shrouds.
• Added functionality to spawn cadaver blooms and cadaver growths.
• Due to long-standing issues, the save file editor has been removed.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a problem that caused log spam from tooltips.
• Fixed a bug that caused insights to be invisible in the visualization window.
• Fixed an issue that caused the game to crash when Imperium was used with some content changing mods.

QoL Improvements

• Improved responsiveness of the object explorer.
• Added name overrides for several items and entities in the spawn menu.

Compatibility

This version is compatible with the v80 public beta of Lethal Company.

[eternal perch]

btw, Imperium, what are these light beams in the air near ship?

[distant stag]

its a default line renderer from some visualizer

[eternal perch]

shoulda have guessed

I think god mode saving me from death also stripped from ability to interact with obejcts

[distant stag]

huh?

[eternal perch]

I can pull the switch on Artifice warehouse tho, weird. I couldn't pick up items or close ship

[distant stag]

as host?

[eternal perch]

i'm the only one

coilhead doesn't care about my existance either

[distant stag]

thats weird, i never had that

are you sure you didnt activate anything else?

like invisible or interact hold animation skip or something

[eternal perch]

old bird still tries to grab me, so i'm not completely invisible

[distant stag]

well some enemies have different targeting

[eternal perch]

like what?

i can go through doors, but can't grab any items or open lockers in loot room

huh, I do have AlwaysPickup by NutNutty v1.2.0. maybe it messes me up

but coilhead?

[distant stag]

i would assume so, I never had this problem with only imperium

[eternal perch]

feature request: limit max width of table formatting

[forest charm]

its not working for me, im on a private solo game and i updated to 1.2 what do i do 😭

[bitter compass]

are you on v80?

[forest charm]

yeah

[bitter compass]

oh, post your logs then

[forest charm]

only these are installed

these are the thunderstoe logs

seems like it cuts off at the end so maybe im doing something wrong

[topaz matrix]

profile with only imperium + dependencies enabled, here's my log

the NullReferenceException happened after trying to quit out, 1st try threw the exception and 2nd try quit

[forest charm]

what am i looking at

im just gonna make a new profile

i made a new profile and it fixed itself

thank you kind sir

[alpine glacier]

No persistent time pause?

[normal trench]

Just adding onto previous discussion, seems something about this new version doesnt play nice with old config settings, so you have to regen config to fix the null reference

[eternal perch]

send a PR!

[distant stag]

AHAHAHA yeahh...i have tried that but i would need to abbreviate something in the middle bc if you dont see the last part its kinda useless

[distant stag]

hmm, like imperium config settings?

or just mods in general

[normal trench]

imperium specifically

[distant stag]

huh thats weird

[normal trench]

For me the mod loads, but soft locks during landing

[distant stag]

I didnt really change any configs in the past few versions I think

maybe something with the layer masks, he did change those I think

and I do save them for the freecam and such

[distant stag]

im looking into a way to make it intuitive, I don't really like the idea of just making it always persist

but there will be more updates, I need to fix oracle too

[eternal perch]

idea: slap a "paused" icon+text around the clock. (though the clock UI itself is not visible at all times)

[distant stag]

hmmm right someone said this before I thnk

and i liked it but forgor about it again

but yeah i think thats a good idea

it just wouldn't 100% work with UI mods

[eternal perch]

it would probably require new assets for icon, which is haram

unless you go with text-only

[distant stag]

well I did manage to get the unity editor running on linux, so editing the imperium asset bundle is pretty easy again

but i would need to match the exact size or do it in code

might as well just duplicate some existing sprite and change the color or something

[alpine glacier]

Nothing gets more intuitive than literally spelling it out on the player's UI...

Just say "Time paused" literally underneath the clock

I'm quite certain even the most blind people would notice it....

[distant stag]

well yeah but that wil conflict with UI mods

and also the clock isnt always there

but yeah I think I will do something like that

[alpine glacier]

You could place that text anywhere else and just generally bind it to the Player UI canvas. Any mod disabling that sounds like it has other issues...

Sorry for being so aggressive about it btw.

But it would really speed up debugging mods. These couple of seconds I need to pause time add up...

[distant stag]

hahahaha yeah ill look into it

dw

[alpine glacier]

For now, I just made a little mod that just forces time to pause on lobby boot

[distant stag]

with the Imperium API?

[alpine glacier]

Uuuh, I'm messing with Imperium's internals. Is there a proper API to do so?

[distant stag]

uhh actually I didnt expose it

but yeah you can just use Imperium.MoonManager.TimeIsPaused.Set(true)

[alpine glacier]

Btw, Instant Takeoff and Instant Landing seems kinda broken. At least it hasn't worked for a while now

[distant stag]

for a while? i wasnt aware of that

but yeah its broken in v80 for sure

[balmy scroll]

It worked if you tick it mid flight !

[hollow granite]

Really? Seemed ok to me

[hollow granite]

Maybe I did this?

[eternal perch]

there is some combination of checkboxes that make it work

[hollow granite]

I don’t want to add more to your plate, but any chance https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/70 could get fixed? I feel like it’s spawning at a global position, not relative to the dropship. Either way, it’s something that I feel like fairly often comes up in the dev-moons channel with people trying to figure out what they did to break their cruiser spawning when they really didn’t do anything wrong. (Also, it would just be nice for testing in general)

[carmine zinc]

the issue is imperium setting hasBeenSpawned to true immediately on Start()

which prevents the code that visually attaches it to the dropship from running

[distant stag]

oh yeah I do this for every cruiser for some reason

[carmine zinc]

the only thing this doesn't affect, for the most part, is modded vehicles :3

[distant stag]

i guess i need to add an rpc to specifically initialize the cruiser when its been spawned with imperium

[carmine zinc]

which reminds me

support for modded vehicles with imperium would be nice

like, to be able to spawn them in and such

and also not just have them called "Cruiser" in the explorer

[distant stag]

how are they identified?

rn I identify the one cruiser that exists via prefab that has the script

[carmine zinc]

you can grab a list of vehicles from either the terminal or startofround

startofround is probably easier to get

you'll have to grab them after LLL/DawnLib adds them

[distant stag]

I normally get everything from resources

[carmine zinc]

you identify it by VehicleController?

[distant stag]

i think so yeah

[carmine zinc]

modded vehicles that use LLL inherit vehiclecontroller

dawnlib vehicles use a custom VehicleBase

which is detached from vehiclecontroller

the only exception to this is my v55 cruiser which overrides the prefab in both startofrounds list and the terminal list

[distant stag]

wait, I think I actually idenfity it by name

because there is only one

so technically if I identify by classes it should work then

do you have an example mod that adds a vehicle that I could use to test?

[carmine zinc]

yes

the Company Hauler

its a bit broken in v80 but its useable

its just the killplayer method that needs updating

which doesnt prevent it from working otherwise

[distant stag]

okay, ill have a look!

[carmine zinc]

awesome :)

[distant stag]

do you know if these vehicles are all spawned in a similar manner?

[carmine zinc]

wdym?

[distant stag]

because I also spawn the manual for example when spawning the cruiser

[carmine zinc]

a service manual isn't required for modded vehicles to be delivered properly

if that's what you mean

they should just be using the vanilla systems for the most part

the dropship delivery is completely handled by vanilla

[distant stag]

hmm, I guess I could just ever spawn the manual

[carmine zinc]

you can get a reference to the manual in the terminal buyable vehicle list

its the secondaryPrefab

although some people might choose to put another item in there if they wish

[distant stag]

hmm, is there a way to get this from the VehicleController object?

[carmine zinc]

no

[distant stag]

or do I need to find it through some higher order object then

[carmine zinc]

vehicle controller has no explicit reference to the manual

[distant stag]

oh the company hauler doesn't currently work in v80

so I can't test this rn

[carmine zinc]

does it not

?

what's broken with it now

[carmine zinc]

i'm planning on overhauling it, but i imagined it would still be somewhat functi

ah right

yeah

that patch needs removing

since it's not required

[distant stag]

maybe just a recompile issue

but i have no idea

[carmine zinc]

its because weedkiller changed, but before v80 i added a different patch in that made that one redundant, and glojam forgot to remove it

so it's just kind of been sitting there and now it seems its being nuked in v80 because of changes to weedkiller

i do have one of my own vehicles that uses LLL which is functional in v80 but it's not like, out yet

so that isn't really helpful

[distant stag]

hmm okay

would you happen to have some DLL that works for me to try?

[carmine zinc]

check your DMs

Imperium v1.2.1 - Small Update

General Changes

• Oracle is correctly predicting enemies again.
• Added support for modded vehicles in the spawning UI and object explorer.
• Made it so pausing time persists after restarting the game.

QoL Improvements

• Improved usability of the Oracle UI and removed coordinates.
• Moved all visualizer objects into Imperium parent objects.
• Destroying a cruiser in the object explorer now makes it explode.
• Made it so the time indicator icon is replaced with a lock when time is paused.
• Removed various internal log statements.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused a destroyed cruiser to leave colliders behind.
• Fixed a bug that caused naturally spawned cruisers to be invisible.

Compatibility

This version is compatible with the v80 public beta of Lethal Company.

[bitter compass]

@distant stag can i be obnoxious and not do a PR cuz im lazy but write down an old issue's fix cuz i totally forgot about it 🥺

ill write down the changes cuz ill probably forget later just incase:
but in PlayerManager
Removing the new() calls on ShipTPAnchor, MainEntranceTPAnchor and ApparatusTPAnchor
and instead initialising them on Init()

Then on ObjectManager, moving the LayerMask.NameToLayer("Terrain"); into the Init() method instead

both of these changes are to support opening imperium on development mode without it killing itself

[distant stag]

oh yeah we talked about this

yeah I can do that

if i remember tomorrow

[bitter compass]

thanksies

sorry for no PR i hate setting up projects just for like 3 lines of changes 😭

[distant stag]

its fine

[carmine zinc]

[topaz matrix]

feature request: being able to interact with story logs in the Object Explorer menu would be really awesome, as would being able to unlock them all at once under something like Game Settings (like unlocking the shop)! they're listed as StoryLogCollectable objects if that helps at all, it'd be nice to be able to teleport to them quickly through this

this has been on my mind for a while but (beta spoilers?) ||i just spent like an hour scrambling around UnityExplorer looking for all 16 of the logs for their new locations so lol||

[distant stag]

Do you happen to know if the StoryLogCollectable are networked objects? Probably not, right?

[topaz matrix]

i don't believe so, there's still the bug where collecting it for one client doesn't remove it for others

[distant stag]

Hmmm, but they are synced IN SOME way

I'll look into it later today

Shouldn't be too hard

[topaz matrix]

doesn't seem to be

the object itself i mean

the actual text is sent to all clients (as is the message that it was collected) but the object itself isn't i think

[distant stag]

Okay yeah so it's just done via HUDManager 💀

Why zeekerss

Why

[topaz matrix]

i ask this a lot

[distant stag]

Yeah same

[distant stag]

it actually is a network object

isnt this the one?

it seems like this object is never really removed for all clients, or at least I can't find the code for it

[alpine glacier]

Pretty sure it's only made invisible

[distant stag]

well yeah but this function is also only executed on the client that picks it up

unless im missing something, I don't see any RPC handling this

[alpine glacier]

Yepp. Pretty sure that's how it works

[distant stag]

zzz

[alpine glacier]

I think Zeekerss was just a bit lazy when he made these .-.

[carmine zinc]

does it also run on OnInteractEarlyOtherClients which would run for other clients iirc (on the InteractTrigger)

[eternal perch]

yo, can I send a feature request to trigger FlickerLights method?

[distant stag]

where is this function?

[eternal perch]

RoundManager.Instance.FlickerLights(flickerFlashlights: true);

we have Breakers On, Breakers Off, and I'd like to have this somewhere in between

fun fact: FlickerPoweredLights coroutine triggers animators in 4 batches separated by 0.05 seconds, with the following pattern:

XXXXXXXXXXXX                                     1/4
            XXXX                                 1/12
                XXXXXXXX                         1/6
                        XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 1/2

[distant stag]

lmao interesting

[eternal perch]

close this issue btw https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/109

[topaz matrix]

oh oops i completely skipped over that. that's my bad

curse of 6am code peeking

[eternal perch]

close this as Not Planned: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/104

[eternal perch]

clearly, we need an int configuration option, because we can't predict which number will be funny next season

This one is incomplete/useless: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/87

[distant stag]

thanks

i really need to go through them some day

[distant stag]

story logs are now in the objet explorer

EVEN BETTER

[eternal perch]

invalid bug report, missing dependencies: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/85

[topaz matrix]

thank you so so so much ❤️ ❤️ actually a dream come true for me

this looks so lovely

[distant stag]

thanks

[topaz matrix]

r there any plans to put unlocking all of them in the game settings as well o.o no pressure this is already super awesome just curious

[distant stag]

uhhh, i mean it wouldnt be too hard, but just like the request to flicker lights, its always a question of where to put it in the UI so it makes sense

[topaz matrix]

the Game Settings section in the same window as where the godmode stuff is would be a good spot i think, it's only got Unlock Shop there and lots of empty space (sorry i'm not at my computer so i can't get a screenshot)

[distant stag]

hmmm

idk, this is something that only works when landed on a moon, so it would probably have to go into moon settings

or do you mean unlock ALL logs in the game?

[topaz matrix]

yeah unlock all logs in the game

[distant stag]

okay yeah that could work

but then its also a checkbox

[topaz matrix]

hrmm

[distant stag]

i dont even know how unlock shop is a checkbox

like, does it even lock the items again when unchecking?

[topaz matrix]

i'm not sure i usually only tick it on and never off

[distant stag]

yeah i think thats what most people do, so nobody has complained yet ahhaha

[topaz matrix]

i would say making it a flat button to unlock the logs would be fine, but it also wouldn't match the unlock shop being a checkbox... so idk how much you'd want something like that

[distant stag]

yeah ill have a look

[topaz matrix]

thank you so much its very appreciated

it'll be really great for new logs/locations if they get moved, but i see this also being mega helpful for if/when he moves it to being rare scrap...

[distant stag]

rare scrap?

[topaz matrix]

yeah he talked about making them into rare scrap instead of constant outdoor collectables a while ago (i believe v70)

i'm not super sure when or even if this will happen

since two logs have been added since he said that and he completely reshuffled the ordering (per my feedback lol)

he might be reconsidering it... but it's still possible

[distant stag]

ohh okay interesting

[topaz matrix]

right

[distant stag]

how do you even look up all the logs in the terminal?

[topaz matrix]

just typing in "sigurd" will bring up all the collected ones

no way to see them all ingame but i do have a list of them if you need that

[bitter compass]

my registry tells me all of em when i open the game in the logs (but yeah through terminal its typing sigurd)

[distant stag]

I see

petition to also flip the imperium UI on 1st of april

[eternal perch]

just add support for any RTL language

Arabic is quite popular lately

[bitter compass]

petition to kill you raaa

[distant stag]

something like this might be good

but then I might as well make the shop one into a button

[topaz matrix]

oooohhh i like it

yah i think that would be good

i imagine the current sorting of the logs internally should also make it so that unlocking them all at once puts them in order too... which is very nice

[distant stag]

ahhh I do this to reset the shop

and when its unlocked I just make sure it stays unlocked

but i suppose there is no way to do this cleanly and easily with logs

but then again, why would you want to un-discover the logs after

[topaz matrix]

i can't imagine why anyone would, they've always persisted between runs and if you want to recollect them you'd always just reset the save...

[distant stag]

is there a list of story log IDs somewhere?

like of ALL of them

they do have scriptable objects

so i suppose they are somewhere?

[bitter compass]

oh is this why unity explorer locks when i have imperium lol

[bitter compass]

the terminal nodes, you should be able to get that info from reading those

[distant stag]

noo this is for like bracken stun lock and stuff like that

[bitter compass]

ahh okay

[distant stag]

the UE locking fix is in preferences

but yeah its an imperium fix

and its on by default

[bitter compass]

also you can probably just read storylogid from the storylog class itself

[bitter compass]

icic, wheres the option to disable it?

[distant stag]

in preference window

[distant stag]

but then I would have to get all StoryLog objects first

i mean i guess fair enough

[bitter compass]

ye but those are easy to get

just running through networkprefabs and getcomponent'ing

[distant stag]

network prefabs?

not just FindObjectsByType<StoryLog>?

[bitter compass]

no that's expensive and also doesnt the story log need to exist for that?

unless you're going through Resources?

i don't like going through resources, i've heard bad things about it, i just go through every network prefab in the game, every prefab with a networkobject is in there

[distant stag]

yeah exactly

[distant stag]

idk I do it and it seems to work pretty well, unity just says you shouldnt do it often

and also, since I need many objects I just go through ALL gameobjects instead of doing multiple calls for each of the different component types

which is A LOT faster

[distant stag]

but what do I look for? shouldn't there be a scriptable object for each log?

[bitter compass]

there would be in the terminal nodes list yeah

[distant stag]

looking for an actual script like StoryLog feels wrong

when its not a scriptable obj

[bitter compass]

ehhh i mean i prefer to look for the script, because otherwise you're looking through terminalnodes, which is less ideal

[distant stag]

okay yeah its just a generic terminal node, so i dont think there is a good way to find only logs

[bitter compass]

well, there is, otherwise zeekerss wouldnt be able to find it

ill check rq

im sure there's an ID somewhere in that

i have dawnlib open might as well

[distant stag]

i think he does it with the compatible nouns list or something

idk i have never really looked into how the terminal works

[topaz matrix]

my favorite creature

[bitter compass]

its fine, it's not super complicated but its kinda funny seeing what you think

[distant stag]

@ionic crescent

[bitter compass]

but there are multiple ways to get the SO

the terminal stores every storylog's terminalnode, that's the first one

it's just under Terminal.logEntryFiles

[ionic crescent]

i have no clue

[bitter compass]

each story log's terminalkeyword defaults to the View Keyword

[distant stag]

didnt you like rewrite the entire terminal

for NM

[bitter compass]

and each terminalnode that relates to a story log has a .storyLogFileID

[distant stag]

but thats just for viewing the specific logs, right?

i guess there isnt a command to get all of them

just unlocked

[ionic crescent]

yes. rewrite. cuz im not dealing w vanilla terminal

[bitter compass]

[bitter compass]

wdym?

[distant stag]

yeah but this is what i meant, aren't all story logs (and more) stored in that View.asset file?

[bitter compass]

ye, but this is just one way to get access to them

[distant stag]

like there isnt a command to get all logs in the game, so he doesnt need a way to identify them

[bitter compass]

like this

[distant stag]

yeah so i guess i have to do it the script way

[bitter compass]

i mean, i dont think he would've made a function get all logs, no point to, it's like making a function to get all shop items in the game, it doesn't make sense

but he also doesn't need a function to get all logs

he stores them in a field to begin with

[bitter compass]

.

[distant stag]

how do I even iterate over network prefabs?

never done that

and is that better than using resources?

[bitter compass]

yeah it's better than using resources imo

just postfix GameNetworkManager.Start

and do allat

[distant stag]

there is no way this is better, this is O(n) over all network prefabs at worst, no? i would assume unity has some index and doesn't just iterate over all resources everytime you search for something by type

[bitter compass]

i dont think there are that many network prefabs, and i feel like resources has a LOT more stuff to go through

doesnt resources allow stuff like SO's etc too?

[distant stag]

yeah, but isn't it indexed somehow internally?

i dont think they iterate over the entire memory everytime you call this

interestingly, they also only say "this function is slow" in the non-generic version

so maybe the generic version is actually pretty optimized

[eternal perch]

turned it into an Issue before we forget https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/113

[distant stag]

thanks a lot!

[bitter compass]

dunno, this is the type of thing that'd need to be benchmarked

[distant stag]

yeah ig

okay so Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll<StoryLog>() doesnt work lol

it just returns nothing

i think the logs might be hard coded in the scenes

yep

I MEAN TECHNICALLY

[feral sentinel]

yes story logs are in the scenes themselves

[distant stag]

i could just add all numbers from 0 to 1000 to the unlocked logs

[feral sentinel]

and there's no prefab (they all got flattened into the scene because he doesnt instantiate them anywhere)

[distant stag]

and then all of them are unlocked for sure

[bitter compass]

they are network prefabs though

[feral sentinel]

yeah as part of the scene

[bitter compass]

yeah but u can access it as soon as the game loads

[distant stag]

but maybe with the network prefab lookup method we still might be able to find them

[feral sentinel]

i mean... is that how that'd work

all of the story log IDs are inside the scenes themselves and i dont see storylogcollectible inside the network prefab list unless im stupid and just missing it

[bitter compass]

im starting to think im wrong, im gonna launch the game just to check, this code i wrote might've been for stuff like LLL storylogs now that i think about it

[eternal perch]

This bug is hillarious, if you use free camera while taking off: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/80

[bitter compass]

the more i think about it the more im convinced i was spreading misinfo, that's lovely 😎

[eternal perch]

spreading spores and misinformation

[distant stag]

hmm, but at the end of the day the game still needs all network prefabs, no? like to make sure netcode and all that will work fine

no?

nvm this doesnt work either

[bitter compass]

how scenes work with networked objects is completely its own thing

yea

your best bet is just checking the terminal for the scriptableobjects, you won't be able to access the gameobjects/script itself

it's a good thing the terminal has a direct reference to all SO's for the logs

no wonder i made teh gameobject nullable

[distant stag]

but how do we differentiate between logs

and other viewable SOs

this will also be bestiary, no?

[bitter compass]

in what way?

what makes each story log unique is two things

the creature name and the logID

[distant stag]

like this is the list of results in the view.asset SO

are these all the logs, or also bestiary entries? is there anything else that can be viewed?

because if not, this is exactly the list we want

yeah there is this also

[bitter compass]

do you only want story logs or bestiary + storylogs?

im confused

[distant stag]

good question actually

[bitter compass]

like i can get you where you want, i just dont know what you want lmao

[distant stag]

how are bestiary entries unlocked anyways? I assume its not Terminal.unlockedStoryLogs

[bitter compass]

yeah not that

[distant stag]

ah Terminal.scannedEnemyIDs

right there

[bitter compass]

yep

[distant stag]

i guess thats easier, there is a list of scan nodes in HUDManager

ill make that a separate button

but yeah, so how would you now do the story logs thing?

I need to get all the story log IDs

[bitter compass]

okay, so the terminal has a field of them, Terminal.logEntryFiles

it's a list of the relevant ScriptableObjects

you can take those, and read their storyLogFileID

[distant stag]

wait what

but how do I get the IDs from there, these are just TerminalNode objects

[bitter compass]

giosuel im gonna punt you

[ionic crescent]

?

[feral sentinel]

sorry if im missing part of the conversation but

is there a reason you couldnt just use Terminal.logEntryFiles

that was my first thought

okay yeah i just read up

just do that

right

[distant stag]

right

but why did we even talk about the prefabs and resources and all that if it was that easy all along

got me confused

[bitter compass]

because i did say the logEntryFiles thing way back 😭

[ionic crescent]

reminder that youre talking to the guy who walked directly into a blob and died and was confused why he died

[bitter compass]

😭

[distant stag]

[distant stag]

this game without fog looks so cursed

how many landmines was that

[ionic crescent]

50

[ionic crescent]

never play NM again because i removed fog for the snow moons

[distant stag]

NM outdoors?

wasnt it indoor only

or at least the version i playd

[ionic crescent]

you havent played in 6 years

you should again

[distant stag]

i should

i thought of it recently bc i started working on the rogue like game mode I made a while back again

i think i told you about it

[ionic crescent]

i dont remember (im a great friend)

[distant stag]

[ionic crescent]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1457047250713706608/1488587241713303634/SPOILER_yfsl.gif

[distant stag]

is NM released now?

[ionic crescent]

no

[distant stag]

theres no way I release simulacrum before NM

it just cant happen

[ionic crescent]

there is a way

[distant stag]

wtf how does that even happen lol

[eternal perch]

spawn rocks, take off. at first, rocks stand still on the ground. later into the animation, they teleport to your ship's coordinate system

[distant stag]

ahhhh

okay yeah makes sense

[eternal perch]

"makes sense" whaaaaat

xD

[feral sentinel]

well technically the ship returns to its "landed position" once it finishes the takeoff animation and i think the rocks are in an object container in SampleSceneRelay right?

so when the moon unloads it still hasnt cleared out the rocks

unless im mistaken about that

[distant stag]

ohh, wait so I guess I am just spawning it in the wrong scene then

[feral sentinel]

maybe

[distant stag]

I assumed theres some manual cleanup, but I guess they can be part of the scene

[feral sentinel]

i think they spawn in RoundManager.Instance.mapPropsContainer

but i forget if that's in the scene or in SampleSceneRelay

it might be in the moon scene i forgor

[bitter compass]

i remember 🥺

[ionic crescent]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/765599700619362326/1488530981433643169/caption.062a4fb9.gif

[distant stag]

I thought this was just for synced props and hazards and stuff like that, no?

[feral sentinel]

RoundManager.SpawnOutsideHazards() uses mapPropsContainer

[distant stag]

a tree being a hazard sounds like propaganda to me

[distant stag]

alright its fixed

stuff now spawns in the map props container

[bitter compass]

is imperium still up for feature requests?

what im asking for is gonna be a little unnecessary for me but might help others (i already made my own debug tool for this purpose)

[distant stag]

i mean yeah as long as I find the time, I am leaving for vacation tomorrow so if its easily implementable I'll do it rn

[ionic crescent]

make shiggy 3d

[bitter compass]

i dont know how easy it is but you could add a soft dependency that gives you everything you need

[bitter compass]

that too

[bitter compass]

basically, modded map objects arent supported by imperium, atleast ones that arent by lethallib, DawnLib registering all map objects, vanilla modded, etc, so i was wondering if you could grab the map objects list from it

[distant stag]

is this a modded-only thing?

[bitter compass]

i can walk you through the whole code, the event you can subscribe to for when the map object registry is frozen (so that you can then grab from it), where to get the specific gameobjects, etc

[bitter compass]

wdym? like imperium currently is fine with vanilla hazards but not really modded ones

[eternal perch]

bugfixes go brrr

[distant stag]

Are these hazards scriptable objects? In vanilla? I can't remember how I identified them

[bitter compass]

they didnt used to be, but zeekerss changed them to be scriptableobjects in v80, so i actually dont know if they work for imperium anymore :D

he didnt get rid of old fields that are now unused for them, unsure why

[distant stag]

Oh-

Because I looked at the code and it seems like they are SOs so I was confused why I didn't get them like every other object

But that explains it

[bitter compass]

you're looking at IndoorMapHazardType right?

that's new yeah

[distant stag]

But that's indoor

[bitter compass]

outdoor has always been SO's

[distant stag]

That just replaced another type that already existed

Yeah but he renamed the classes and slightly changed them iirc

[bitter compass]

no, it didnt replace anything-ish

IndoorMapHazard replaced SpawnableMapObject

they're both serializable classes

[distant stag]

Yes exactly

[bitter compass]

IndoorMapHazardType is new

it's an SO with the fields from SpawnableMapObject

it's basically replicating how outside map objects looked like

[distant stag]

so what does that have to do with outside objects?

this is how I am currently getting outside objects

[bitter compass]

idk, you asked why you didnt do em as SO's like the rest of stuff in imperium

[distant stag]

so I guess I DID do it with SO

so what exactly is not compatible?

i thought you talked about outdoor stuff

[bitter compass]

nah, indoor stuff, im actually unsure about outdoor stuff but i know modded indoor hazards wouldnt get registered by imperium

[distant stag]

and with registered you mean for spawning or in the object explorer?

[bitter compass]

never checked object explorer, i do mean spawning

[distant stag]

yeah they are currently registered manually

I guess I could do this via the IndoorMapHazardType now

[eternal perch]

is this line outdated?

        <Folder Include="src\Integration\InputUtils\"/>

[distant stag]

I think so yeah

i thought i removed it yesterday but I guess i havent

[eternal perch]

you did this: e0e58be9e1f1ee1d033dd64d71523a8057ebc5f6

which is, main - 2

[distant stag]

yeah i did some cleanup

i think i can remove this as well now

[feral sentinel]

9

[distant stag]

do you have an example mod that i could use to test this?

[bitter compass]

coderebirth

[distant stag]

and how is the hazard called

[bitter compass]

try laser turret

if you can, try cacti/cactus too

[distant stag]

something wth dawnlib is breaking

does it work in v80?

[bitter compass]

yeah it does, oh did thunderstore not get latest update

i pushed it a bit ago, latest is 0.9.2

[distant stag]

DLL?

[bitter compass]

sure gimme a sec

zip cause its like 5 dlls

[distant stag]

holy loading time

[eternal perch]

what's your workflow for dev/test cycle? Do you manually invoke <Target Name="ThunderstorePack" or do you just copy the dll in a custom .user target?

[distant stag]

alright works

[bitter compass]

Nest

Neat

[bitter compass]

Yeah that happens when the mod has more content than any other mod

[distant stag]

object explorer will be harder because indoor hazards don't have a shared script

[bitter compass]

Yea, nor do outside

[distant stag]

ya

[bitter compass]

But u can just make a script

And give it to em

[distant stag]

like at loading time give all the prefabs my own script

like a tag kinda

I could

but I think ill do that another time

[bitter compass]

Okie

[distant stag]

was there anything else I should do in this update?

@eternal perch anything else?

[eternal perch]

I'm trying to triage https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/108 now

I built imperium from dev branch for good measure

[distant stag]

yeah this is true, minimap settings have been broken for ages

i have never ported it to the new UI system that I built ages ago

I don't think thats something I can easily fix rn

[eternal perch]

minimap scale seems to be working on my end, both in orbit and on moons. Camera angle resets to top-down when I'm pulling the lever.

[distant stag]

wait, how are you changing minimap scale?

[eternal perch]

slider bottom right

[distant stag]

but thats zoom, no?

not the physical size of the minimap

[eternal perch]

what's scale then

[distant stag]

the size of the minimap

[eternal perch]

size of the minimap viewport on screen?

[distant stag]

yes

okay i actually managed to fix it immediately, idk why i didnt do this a long time ago

you can change it by clicking on the "minimap settings" button

[eternal perch]

found it

indeed was broken, huh

Minimap settings window can't be moved or closed

[distant stag]

yeah I fixed it just now

[eternal perch]

can i give a shot to flicker button real quick?

or would that require editing UI in asset bundle?..

[distant stag]

oh right thats what it was

and yeah, it would mostly require UI work

[eternal perch]

https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/111 <- Imperium on v73 is broken. Intended / won't fix?

[eternal perch]

since I don't have UI assets sources, there's only so much I can do

[distant stag]

yeah this is won't fix

imperium is not backwards compatible, you gotta use an older version

[distant stag]

yeah its fine, I can work on this next week when I am back from vacations

its not that complicated of a change, just need to figure out how I will restructure the UI

[eternal perch]

meanwhile I can add such button to my mod's LethalConfig if needed

[eternal perch]

I replied, you can just hit close as Not Planned

ah you replied too, oh well

[distant stag]

yeah I closed it as well, thanks!

Imperium v1.2.2 - Small Update

Bug Fixes

• Moved some field initializers to init functions to make Imperium work with development builds.
• Fixed a bug that caused manually spawned outside objects to persist after leaving a moon.

[eternal perch]

some might say it's not pretty, but it is pretty functional

surely we'll find use for the emerged empty space for more new stuff

[topaz matrix]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ thank you so so much

hope vacation goes well :D

[eternal perch]

like, remove slippery floor after the fish

(imagine Imperium mops the floor for you)

[dark heath]

could the player FOV slider in imperium control panel be increased to go lower than 50? like maybe 30

[eternal perch]

@distant stag forgot to add "Fixes #" to the commit, pls close manually: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/108

[distant stag]

Ahahaha that's pretty impressive for a runtime change lol

But yeah I'll probably change the whole layout there a bit so it fits better

I didn't really like this part of the UI from the start

[eternal perch]

meanwhile the run time change:

[distant stag]

XDD ahhh

Welp

[distant stag]

Thanks!

[distant stag]

Ohh yeah true, could you create an issue for that?

[feral sentinel]

Added an option to disable the flipped camera effect on 1st of April.
what is this for? does it just prevent it from activating automatically on lobby boot? this is already a setting in the pause menu (it just resets itself each time you host)

[distant stag]

Same for this, if you could make an issue that would be great and I won't forget

[ionic crescent]

toggle indoor fog

[eternal perch]

i got you

[dark heath]

i dunno how to do that tbh

[distant stag]

Hahahah yeahh I didn't even see this option lol, it just annoyed me so I added it
But yeah it's persistent through restarts

[dark heath]

thats a github thing right?

[eternal perch]

some muscle memory would have to be sacrificed, it seems

[distant stag]

Yes! If you go to the repo, there's a tab "issues"

[dark heath]

okie i'll probably do that at some point then, ty

[distant stag]

I think that already exists in the render settings window

[ionic crescent]

does it toggle the rendering of it or the actual fog game object

[dark heath]

toggling global volume would disable interior fog i think, but that would also remove like, light rays and steam leaks too

[distant stag]

Uhh I think it's the whole object, but I'm not sure, this was one of the first features I implemented

I don't think imperium provides any fine tune settings for the post processing effects

[eternal perch]

close this as completed/outdated: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/50

close as fixed/outdated: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/83

[bitter compass]

can i make an issue and close it so i can feel special 🥺

[eternal perch]

"Imperium 13.37 does not working with Evil Corporation v35" ?

[bitter compass]

yes

[eternal perch]

close as completed: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/64

close as completed too: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/91

both were fixed in 1.0.0

[distant stag]

perfect, thanks!

im glad were able to get rid of some of those

im sure many if not most have been fixed already

at least the bugs

[eternal perch]

this one seems legit: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/62

granted, idk why would you need that, it's such a random feature

[distant stag]

yeah its more of a joke lol

[eternal perch]

a good usecase for HarmonyX enumerator passthrough trick though!

(see my comment https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/62#issuecomment-4172179697

close as brainrot: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/86

[distant stag]

okay, I will look at it next week!

[eternal perch]

I'm gonna test it with an inverted check now

I'd wish the "Unlock Shop" thing was a thing that I can easily copy-paste into my furniture mod. Then I wouldn't have to recommend StoreRotationConfig

[distant stag]

why is it not easy copy pasteable?

[eternal perch]

idk, StoreRotationConfig does some unspeakable things with transpiler

I looked into Imperium, and it does look simpler and copy-pastable indeed

[eternal perch]

it works with the condition inverted, but there are bugs

[eternal perch]

Is there any reason you prefer HarmonyPatch by string rather than by nameof() ?

[distant stag]

idk I just started like that and I wanted to keep it consistent

[eternal perch]

alright

I though it might have something to do with supporting future/past versions, but today was proven wrong about that

[distant stag]

yeah usually backwards compatibility problems are harder to solve

[eternal perch]

actual fix
https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/pull/115

and

for fun
https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/pull/116

you might wanna add a Binding to your magic Settings too

[eternal perch]

Do you have a GitHub account?

[dark heath]

i think so yea

[eternal perch]

I couldn't find it

I'm filing an Issue for you, I should @.tag you there

[eternal perch]

so

[dark heath]

ok i thought i did but i guess i dont

[dark heath]

this is the greatest mod ever

small UI improvement: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/pull/123

[bitter compass]

If you can't open imperium on the latest version, delete your imperium configs

[normal trench]

For some reason toggling steam valve causes security doors to open/close as well?

[distant stag]

Yeah it's a known issue

https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/67#issuecomment-4173930537

I'll rework how the toggling works next week when I'm back

[ionic crescent]

[eternal perch]

couldn't resist hijaking such a legendary issue

close as Could Not Reproduce anymore: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/94

[distant stag]

Okay cool, I saw this in the morning and wasn't sure whether this was till the case

[dusty vault]

does this work in the beta?

[distant stag]

Yes

[dusty vault]

i just tried to load my game with imperium and when i loaded in it said "imperium launch failed"

its on the latest version

[distant stag]

Try resetting the imperium config, it's a bug rn with the latest release

[dusty vault]

yeah that worked tysm

[eternal perch]

Imperium launch failed. Shutting down.

Solution:

1. Close the game.
2. In mod manager, go to profile, Open Profile Folder.
3. In the profile folder, find BepInEx/config/giosuel.Imperium.cfg file, and delete it.
4. Launch the game.

Some mod managers may provide "Delete" button for configs as a user-friendly alternative.

Honestly, pinned messages in Discord are not that visible

Can you reopen the issue and maybe pin in the repo? https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/issues/111#issuecomment-4177610495

[eternal perch]

The fix PR: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/pull/127

[distant stag]

Imperium v1.2.3 - Hotfix

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused outdated configs to break Imperium startup.

Thanks to @eternal perch for a quick fix while I was away on vacation!

[topaz matrix]

hmm...

i can make a proper github report later im just getting map pictures rn lol

[eternal perch]

another random fix: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/pull/130

@dark heath build with this patch, if you need low FOV: https://github.com/giosuel/imperium/pull/132

[bitter compass]

if you're looking at stuff to fix, maybe you could check out the stuff imperium has for spawning an item onto the player's inv, it doesnt run some functions like EquipItem iirc due to how its written which can cause issues

i dont remember exactly if it was that function though

i just remember it seemed like a hacky impl for grabbing an item on spawn

[distant stag]

Yess +1 that's also something I wanted to fix for quite some time

Planned for next week asw

[distant stag]

Yeah bc it has to be executed on the client that spawned it, which could be not the host

So it's Client -> Host, Host -> Client after it's spawned

[bitter compass]

the new rpc's should make that a little cleaner with a local player check for the specific client

[distant stag]

Hm okay haven't looked into that yet

[eternal perch]

lemme guess, it's all async all the way down

[distant stag]

Well picking up an item needs to be synchronized somehow, right?

But the server needs to tell the player to pick it up

Or like it needs to spawn in the inventory and not on the ground in the first place

[bitter compass]

https://github.com/XuuXiaolan/CodeRebirth/blob/main/Plugin/CodeRebirth/src/MiscScripts/CRUtilities.cs#L303-L339 lowkey i just wait until the grabbableobject's networkobject is spawned, then run this code on the client i want to grab, dats it

[distant stag]

But does this work for spawning the item in the inventory immediately? Or do you have to spawn it on the ground and then pick it up? I don't really remember how I did it

[eternal perch]

that's what thought

[bitter compass]

waiting for the networkobject to spawn is basically instant

spawning it directly in the inventory before waiting for it to spawn is just asking for a problem

[eternal perch]

that's how I implemented smoke color in HookahPlace btw

animation triggers an even that spawns Fog instance, and sends an RPC

where server chooses color, and dictates it to clients

and client which initiated the animation now need to wait until color arrives from RPC later

such a spaghetti, eww brotha

[distant stag]

Well if you do it on the same net object then you can do it literally together, but if the network object that you have your RPC on then you have to wait a bit

Which is unfortunate

[bitter compass]

i truly wonder what you're doing

[distant stag]

Wdym

[bitter compass]

when you say same net object, which network objects are you talking about?

[distant stag]

Like the modded RPCs aren't on the actual object, right?

They are on your own prefabs

[eternal perch]

vanilla animations are network-capable, so I doubt I could reuse that

[distant stag]

So they aren't guaranteed to be executed in order according to unity

For example, if you spawn a cadaver bloom, how would you make it burst immediately?

[eternal perch]

Promise.race() Promise.allSettled()

problem solved

(don't listen to me)

[bitter compass]

i would wait until the cavader bloom's networkobject is spawned, then run the code to make it burst immediately

there's only one network object in this equation

[eternal perch]

the point is, we need some machinery to collect all the expected but arrived out-of-order inputs

[distant stag]

Exactly you have to wait

[bitter compass]

yeah... like.. 0.2 seconds?

probably less?

[distant stag]

Zeekerss can just put the RPC in start or awake and that's totally fine

[distant stag]

Well yeah but that's cursed lol

[bitter compass]

waiting for the network object is not cursed what
