Luna's Moons

[snow kindle]

@tawdry citrus tomorrow sounds good?

We can optimize it ^^

[tawdry citrus]

ye

dont have anything else to be doing

[snow kindle]

Okie

[tawdry citrus]

i'll be taking a break from it tonight tho cuz i dont really have anymore ideas for fixing the moon

so i'm gonna need someone who actually knows what they're doing to help

[normal nymph]

went to Strident. love the scenery. cave, but not pitch dark. oceanic moon (from what i can see) is always nice. exits dont drop you out of existence.

• uppermost fire exit needs to be darkened. otherwise it looks like your destination is leaving the cave instead of entering the facility
• plenty of audioreverb errors in various spots.
• file size. is. enormous. but that was already known 😛

[snow kindle]

Yea that confirmed my sus

I think we can solve the crashes

Audioreverb error is something many moons face cuz they go by the tutorial that does not cover that part :/ but its an easy fix

[tawdry citrus]

The fire exit was actually gonna be a cave exit

I actually didn't have the 3rd Fire exit

I turned that exit into an entrance

When I was trying to fix issues

Wondering if not having 4 entrances was the problem

[tawdry citrus]

what do you think the source is?

[snow kindle]

Systems/AudioReverbs or Environment/ReverbTriggers

And then go thru every child of those

But i can show you tomorrow

[tawdry citrus]

audio changes all set to 0?

[snow kindle]

I think so ? Cant tell without seeing my setup 🤷‍♂️

But yes you dont want empty audio changes, if you change it you need to have something in there

Or well thats not exactly right either

In Systems you can have empty audio change but you need to have the top thing selected to like Master diatetic or something idk

But you dont actually need to change the sfx

In reverbtriggers however id recommend just turning them to 0 except like windtriggers, i do recommend using that for the same ambientaudio u use outside - just lower the volume like forexample i use a forestambience audio in System/AudioReverbs and the sound there is set to 0.3, my Environment/Reverbtriggers/ has 2 windtriggers as it should, one is inside which has the same audio but has it on 0.1 and the other on the railing has it change back to 0.3

[tawdry citrus]

do i need to do anything with this?

also, all of my reverb and wind triggers have 0 audio changes

[dapper plover]

this is why you should contantly be testing out your moon, like every 20 min

do you have a lot of grass?

[tawdry citrus]

not really no

unless a thin spread out grass counts as a lot

[tawdry citrus]

my moon works on LAN

but not online

anyone know what might cause that?

dying crashes the game as well

i might just remake the moon after starlancers new tutorial

[round gulch]

Are you planning on updating your moon with the new things added in v60?

[tawdry citrus]

Remaking it and yes

I'm gonna make something in the same theme from scratch

Since the current release was like

Completely broken

[round gulch]

Oh ok

Ahahah

[tawdry citrus]

But yeah

[round gulch]

Thanks for answering👍

[tawdry citrus]

Gotta be respectful

I care about anyone who cared to come to me and take time to contact me

[tawdry citrus]

Karelia's Moons!

[dapper plover]

bro changes ur name every week lol

[smoky fox]

Ikr

It's one thing if it was the username OR nickname changed every so often but BOTH of them simultaneously changing makes it a wee bit problematic to report issues if the name is radically different than the one that appears on the mod's page on Thunderstore

[snow kindle]

They have different alters - probably woule be best to have one as a main to make sure people know where to contact the dev but i also get why you change it, seen previous talk with Lunxara(she also has different alters but she has a “main” name so people are not getting confused and know where to reach her regardless which alter is fronting)

[autumn spear]

i thought the moon pack name was Celestial Expansion but its changed a number of times since then

[dapper plover]

I think you should keep a consistent name under this server, and under thunderstore too, but its ur choice th

[analog gulch]

well they don't have to put any of their names on the pack. it would make more sense to just name it something similar to Celestial Expansion, i think that avoided the problem pretty well

[autumn spear]

this is even assuming they want to keep Celestial Expansion as the name, ive been associating that with the 3 moons that got lost, not their new current work

curious whats gonna happen w those 3 in the future

[analog gulch]

yeah no im not saying they have to go with that, but just a broad title for the moons similar to that

[autumn spear]

yea valid. we have the knowledge from lurking but the avg person wouldnt really know lol

[analog gulch]

#1263283058266603644 message

[autumn spear]

i know that you goober but that was before v60 fully dropped. not gonna argue if they do remake em

just saying that the way they shuffled around vanilla moons (boreal=march,verdance=vow,destitute=rend) has me big thinkin and praying for the new starlancer moon tutorial lol

[snow kindle]

Unfortunately those 3 moons are lost, their unity project completely selfimploded so those wont receive updates ._.

Im really bummed cuz i liked them tho

[autumn spear]

1.0.4 is still usable, boreal doesnt redlog spam

and even if they end up breaking horribly in a future upd8, ill just make my own :3c

[tawdry citrus]

i'm planning on remaking them in the future

after i make new ones

[tawdry citrus]

i'm working on a solution to that

[tawdry citrus]

might not work on anything for a bit

my gf's dad died in a car accident today

so i'm gonna be with her instead of here

[snow kindle]

Omg im so sorry to hear that.. yeah be with her!

[desert forge]

My condolences

By all means, supporting her is a lot more important than this

[lyric copper]

I'm sorry to hear, my condolences :(

[ashen vessel]

Omg thats terrible, take as much time as you need

[tawdry citrus]

Emily's Moons!

please dont make this a big deal

especially you, you know who i'm talking to

[normal nymph]

😐

[crimson flower]

ah

[tawdry citrus]

What

[normal nymph]

iiiiii just feel a collective name is needed. as previously stated, people lookin to give feedback thru discord will be lost. sure, the pack name can be altered, too. however, if someone wants to recommend a moon pack to another by name and the name's been changed, it may become a chore to search it out

[analog gulch]

the pack name cannot be changed without reuploading it

[normal nymph]

ah, then even more reasoning

for example, Celestial Expansion is a perfect collective name. nobody else had it, and it remained DID friendly to the author (nothin wrong with that btw)

[tawdry citrus]

This isn't really helpful

90% of what making this a big deal does

Is make me feel pressured to not be myself, and to not change even when it's beneficial to me

[snow kindle]

Im completely fine with you changing your name and stuff but maybe keep the modthread name as Celestial Expansion? Tho thats just a suggestion 🤷‍♂️tbf idgaf, i know who you are either way

[tawdry citrus]

i'm gonna make some other pack name

whenever i release anything again

[rustic pine]

I'm not a fan of the person being talked about like she isn't the author of this thread and also reading the messages

Your mods, your threads, absolute control to you, modding is an enjoyment for the dev before any user

[tawdry citrus]

wdym?

[rustic pine]

Wasn't a fan of the phrasing here is what I mean

[snow kindle]

I think people are just suggesting it so they can find the thread easily and wont get confused

[tired crown]

Oh I might have worded it badly, it wasn't intended

As someone who also has DID, I just would prefer they find a name that fits them globally so people don't complain about them name changing constantly

[rustic pine]

Irrelevant when they've specifically anticipated this exact same thing and didn't want it, anyway I'm gonna stop speaking on anyone's behalf now

[tired crown]

Sorry for the poor phrasing

[tawdry citrus]

i am starting to find it a bit annoying because our system goes through changes we cant always anticipate. and every time it gets made a big deal and called out

and it never helps stop the changes or anything

[snow kindle]

Yea i totally get it, as i said im fine with it, just wanted to clear the air out so Emily wouldnt think these are against them but rather to help newcomers or followers to not be confused. I know them and i love their work. Hoping you’ll release more stuff soon Em! And i hope we didnt make you feel uncomfy ._.

[tawdry citrus]

and cant really come up with a name we all like, when the changes are regularly alters who arent currently here

[tired crown]

I understand I really do

Our system also went through major changes recently after our birth went dormant

[tawdry citrus]

so its not a "problem" anyone elses input can really be useful with

[tired crown]

Oh yeah I never said it was a problem, just if you ever manage to come up with an online name you're happy with it will help. I feel bad about others complaining about you changing your name

Like I wanna clarify when we bring stuff up to you it's not us complaining it's general concern cus you seem to change it a lot and you're a friend after all

[tawdry citrus]

a big part of the changes, is a mix of system changes

and generally trying to find ourselves

cuz we still live in an environment where we were never allowed to be ourselves

[tired crown]

Yeah I get you

[tired crown]

Deleted the message, that was our fault for phrasing it poorly and coming off ruder than it sounded

[analog gulch]

i feel like most people just aren't aware of what did is or how it manifests. not much more you can do than try to be patient and educate them

[tired crown]

It sounded nice in our head

v.v

[autumn spear]

i lika da moona

[analog gulch]

me too...

[tawdry citrus]

i dont have the energy for that rn, and it would also get tiring explaining it for every new person that asks

[rustic pine]

Also no reason for you to, you don't need a reason to do whatever you want with your own stuff

[analog gulch]

fair enough, but the point is that i don't think anyone pointing it out is intending to be disrespectful or ridicule you

[tawdry citrus]

plus

currently

i have nothing to offer the community other than my thread

i'm also not working on anything else

@snow kindle i have more important things going on atm

[snow kindle]

Yes i know, spend as much time as you can with her!

Modding should always be a secondary thing

[normal nymph]

sorry for startin my feedback like that...

[tawdry citrus]

wdym?

[normal nymph]

😐 <-

i just thought simplification would be overall easier. didnt want a whole [[creative discussion]] to start from it

[tawdry citrus]

lol

[normal nymph]

aaaaaaaand like the pikaboyo said, secondary is king

[dapper plover]

maybe in parentheses put the name celestial expansion, so you can keep ur name, plus that so no one gets confusfed

[tawdry citrus]

Celestial expansion is the name of a moon pack I'm no longer working on

My next one is gonna be under a dif name

[tawdry citrus]

Wish i could ban people from joining my thread

VectorV is an annoying child and I wanna protect my thread from them

Lol

[tired crown]

I get you don't like them but also being toxic won't help either, if they're causing you issues just block them

[tawdry citrus]

True

Forgot blocking was a thing

[tired crown]

Yeah just block and ignore them

Better for your mental health hun

[tawdry citrus]

:3

[crimson flower]

whos that rapscallion

[tawdry citrus]

They're active in generic's thread

Active as in

Contributing nothing and being an annoying disruption

Anyways

Don't wanna make my thread so negative

[crimson flower]

ehhh i wouldnt dwell too much into it

[tawdry citrus]

I'd rather be known as the sweet trans girl moon maker, instead of the ultra negative rude person that likes drama

[crimson flower]

ive met a lot of annoying, obnoxious people in my online hours

(as someone who has been in a lot of roblox servers)

so that guys fine ig lol

[tawdry citrus]

[slim fern]

I relate to this as fellow trans girl

[tawdry citrus]

[tawdry citrus]

opon looking over the actual catwalk models in lc

damn it'll be so easy to remake them

so

expect assets to be uploaded here soon

of a modular version of the vanilla catwalks

they're so simple and janky that i can easily remake them with basically zero blender experience

[ancient portal]

Nice, I've wanted something like that for making some custom tiles

[tawdry citrus]

Awesome

Is there anything you'd need from it specifically?

[ancient portal]

Modular pieces of all the vanilla stuff would be super helpful, working on a vanilla dungeon expansion mod

[tawdry citrus]

That'd be a ton of work

My plan is just posting stuff I make, and when I'll be making stuff is generally when I personally need it

[ancient portal]

Well whatever you end up making will prob be helpful anyway, will peep wherever you get around to it

[slim fern]

If you make them, or anything else that could be useful for mod creators, ping me in #dev-moons or #dev-interiors and I can pin a link to it

[tawdry citrus]

i'd like them to be posted here too, would you be able to pin them here as well? so i can have a place anyone can come find everything i've shared?

[lyric copper]

You can use the /jeb pin command to pin things in your thread

[tawdry citrus]

oh!

ty wesley

i had no idea

[tired crown]

Lol didn't know they didn't know how to do that

[tawdry citrus]

Alex ^^

[dapper plover]

yea that would be great

[tawdry citrus]

untextured inside blender

hows it looking?

[dapper plover]

looking fire

only thing that will be tricky is the catwalk that will turn

cuz its curved

well its prob simple for you

I just dont know how to use blender lol

[tawdry citrus]

wdym?

[tawdry citrus]

neither do i

i'm learning as i do this

[dapper plover]

lol

[dapper plover]

I mean the railing

[tawdry citrus]

the rails actually dont curve

[dapper plover]

the railing curves from the catwalk turns

im booting up unity to double check

[tawdry citrus]

they're like

really janky

and have a 45 degree angle

i was worried about learning how to do all the curves and stuff

but when i went to get references

the railings look like shit

and dont actually have smooth curves

[dapper plover]

I see what you mean now lol

[tawdry citrus]

i can easily do that by just having a 45 degree angle

[dapper plover]

ye

[tawdry citrus]

the catwalks i make are prob gonna end up looking cleaner than the vanilla ones

and the scaling will be slightly off

but they shouldnt look out of place

[dapper plover]

ye it wont be perfect

which is understandable

[tawdry citrus]

its meant to be better anyways

its just to give easy to use assets that look like the vanilla stuff

dropped it into unity rq

the scale is about right

plus

actual scaling doesnt matter

[dapper plover]

can we see it with the textures por favor

(please in spanish)

[tawdry citrus]

nop

i'm gonna post it here as a unity package

[dapper plover]

bet

[tawdry citrus]

as seperate parts

when its done

i'm gonna put it all together in unity

and just have all the parts as prefabs

and yes

that means you'll be able to strip it down

individually replace textures

and even take just the railings to use as part of something else

i'm making it to be as flexible as possible when you use it

[dapper plover]

fire

[tawdry citrus]

i'm so glad i'm modeling for lc

this is so janky and terribly modeled

i would get fired from a job i dont even have for modeling stuff like this

[dapper plover]

sigma

[tawdry citrus]

half done with this part

i'm gonna try to make all the parts just

cubes

that you can stick together

except for T, L, and X junctions

[dapper plover]

hyped

also just realized, later when you have time possibly, more of a challenge, but also maybe making some stairs too?

[tawdry citrus]

that was gonna be part of it :3

also

best part about this

i'm making this as good as i can, and as easy to use as i can

cuz i'm making it for me

I need these

and i'm just sharing cuz i know other people will too

[dapper plover]

sigma 😎

sorry im a victim of brain rot

[tawdry citrus]

lol

https://tenor.com/view/lethal-company-maneater-man-eater-maneater-lethal-company-gif-4430090500918696994

[dapper plover]

gotta stay hip you know

[tawdry citrus]

oh also

these modes are very low poly

but

they're still higher poly than the vanilla ones

which is a big reason it wont fit perfectly with vanilla

also

off topic

i assume you all know about that super annoying set of stairs

the same ones on experimentation

that are like

impossible to use

cuz of how janky they are

you'll be able to easily replace those with these assets

i'm gonna design the stairs to properly connect to other tiles

so you can make a flight of stairs with them easily

[dapper plover]

bet very hyped

[tawdry citrus]

finished the second tile

[dapper plover]

lets goo, are you going to release the bridges as the same time as the stairs?

[tawdry citrus]

wdym?

[dapper plover]

like the prefabs, are you going to release it the same time as you finish the stairs, or release it now?

[tawdry citrus]

itll prob be a day or two until i actually release anything

cuz theres a decent bit of work left

and i'm gonna be releasing all of it together

[dapper plover]

in terms of the bridges what tiles are left? isnt it just these 2, or am i forgetting something

alr bet

the destroyed thing is pretty jank to lol

[tawdry citrus]

Straight, Corner, X junction, T junction, L junction, Cap, Stairs

5 left

[dapper plover]

oh I see, I thought you werent remakeing the corner, L and T

[tawdry citrus]

i'm making everything

i want anyone to be able to make anything they want with the parts i'm making

i want people to be able to just

drop the package into their project

and have all the prefabs they need to make any type of catwalk they want

[dapper plover]

asset bundle?

you mean package

[tawdry citrus]

yeah

same thing

[dapper plover]

not really

[tawdry citrus]

close enough

lol

[dapper plover]

ig lol

[tawdry citrus]

L junction done

[dapper plover]

noice

[tawdry citrus]

T done

[dapper plover]

lets go

[tawdry citrus]

all of the flat ones are "done"

they're all modeled

now i just have the stairs left to do

i'll do them tomorrow

[dapper plover]

excited

[tawdry citrus]

i'm tired of blender rn, and i have no stairs refs

[dapper plover]

arent you going to ref it from the game?

[tawdry citrus]

yes

[dapper plover]

so then you do have stair refs

[tawdry citrus]

but i havent taken any ref screenshots

[dapper plover]

ohh

I thought you jsut have unity and blender open

side by side

[tawdry citrus]

this is what i was using for my refs

i went into the game a couple days ago and took screenshots

[dapper plover]

oh ur doing it from in game

thought ur were doing it from unity

[dapper plover]

this is fire bro

[tawdry citrus]

this is the corner piece btw

the purpose is for open sections

[dapper plover]

I see

I can see some scenarios where im going to need this

are you also going to make like destroyed railings
also sorry if im sounding demandy not my intention

[tawdry citrus]

nah

maybe if i need it

but not currently

[dapper plover]

alr bet

[tawdry citrus]

question

what do you want these assets for? just wondering

@dapper plover

[dapper plover]

in general, moons, interiors ect

since catwalks are a very vanilla thing

and are cool

[tawdry citrus]

i'm gonna be using them heavily for my next moon

[dapper plover]

noicw

im sure a lot of other people would find this useful

@subtle falcon
I remember you needed some catwalk tiles for your facility alternitve thinbg

[tawdry citrus]

I might be able to finish the assets tomorrow

Expect it day after tomorrow tho

[tawdry citrus]

Ty lethal company community for giving me the motivation to teach myself skills

[subtle falcon]

hiii

that sounds pretty cool

[snow kindle]

Neat!

[subtle falcon]

are you using the original models and cutting them up or modeling new ones

[solid bough]

will you make these available to everyone?

[tawdry citrus]

Yes

[tawdry citrus]

Modeling new stuff

[tawdry citrus]

You planning on using them?

[solid bough]

yeah im making jabiua and i tried using the catwalks that already in the game files

but it didnt work out

[tawdry citrus]

Yeah, those catwalks are extremely limited in their uses

I'm super glad my work can be of use for more people than just myself

Oh btw, are you busy rn?

[solid bough]

yeah

[tawdry citrus]

Oh ok

Whatcha busy with? If you don't mind me asking

[solid bough]

uhhh its personal

[tawdry citrus]

Oh ok

Was just asking to see if you were busy with anything with Lc

Cuz If you were able to, I was gonna ask If you could get some reference screenshots for the in game stairs

But dw about it

Also, the stairs in these assets prob won't be the same length or height as the vanilla ones

[solid bough]

today im coming back home, so maybe then

🌟

[tawdry citrus]

Because the ones I'm making are on a grid

Depending on what might look right tho

I'll either have the stairs 1 grid length long

1.5

Or 2

[analog gulch]

what kind of pics do you need? i have the editor open right now

[tawdry citrus]

1 from directly side view

And then just other pics from angles that show all the little important details

[tawdry citrus]

This is so I can see generally how steep they are

Tysm for being able to help :3

I would grab the screenshots myself and not beg someone else for them, but I don't have a unity project with the lc patcher ran on it rn

Because I haven't been working on any moons yet

[tawdry citrus]

Oh wow

That is steep

I have more work to do now

Lol

It would be useful to have different levels of steepness with the stairs

[analog gulch]

here's a pic from 2d mode as well, if that helps

[tawdry citrus]

Do you think you could get screenshots of the stairs on the lil tower thing next to ship on experimentation?

I wanna see If those are the same steepness, cuz I know zeekers basically custom made every asset for exactly where it is, rather than doing what I'm doing

[tawdry citrus]

Thought so

Those are much less steep

Alr, how about this

Do we want 2 sets of stairs at different steepness? Or 3

3 will increase the time it takes to finish

But not by enough to really matter

Since it'll probably be done by tomorrow either way

[analog gulch]

3 is good

[tawdry citrus]

Alr

[solid bough]

also @tawdry citrus you can use the measuring tool in imperium to get correct proportions

[tawdry citrus]

Considering how inconsistent the sizing/angles are

I don't think it matters too much

[subtle falcon]

ah thats unfortunate because for this i was looking for exact copies of the existing stuff

visually indistinct

probably gonna do something like what you're doing but with the actual models

[tawdry citrus]

hows this for the medium angle? (still very early in the modeling)

its basically right between these two angles

[analog gulch]

looks good to me

[tawdry citrus]

alr

i'm prob gonna give the first version with just the one stair tile

and make more later

[dapper plover]

alr

[tawdry citrus]

@dapper plover @solid bough @snow kindle hows this look?

[snow kindle]

Great!

[tawdry citrus]

awesome

the stairs part wont have the other tiles included

just the stairs

that's just to show how it connects

[snow kindle]

Maybe you could add legsupport to it 🤔

But thats just me nitpicking

[tawdry citrus]

like

wdym?

[snow kindle]

Yknow actually nevermind, looking at the base pictures here - they could still be used with just putting a cylinder support to it manually so they wouldnt look like they are just floating in the air

[dapper plover]

fire

[dapper plover]

ye it also depends on the situation

not everyone will be neding the leg support

[snow kindle]

Would we be allowed to use these?
Can i has it?

[tawdry citrus]

absolutely!

i'm making them for everyone

not just me

[snow kindle]

Didnt follow the discussions lately just checked in a couple of times and saw the pics

[snow kindle]

Yayy

[tawdry citrus]

:3

theres no point in keeping them to myself

i want everyone to be able to use everything i can use

i dont want someone else to have to do the same thing i'm doing now

when they could otherwise just

use the ones i'm making

[snow kindle]

We can also expand on it later, I was also thinking of doing what you are doing but since I’m currently not working anything related to these asset I didnt bother

[snow kindle]

But Im about to start working on something related to these very soon :3

[tawdry citrus]

this should be the finished model

i added a few extra bars on the railings so it connects better

also

most of these models will be seperated into around 5 models

and just put together in unity as a prefab

so you can take them apart

and retexture them easily

[snow kindle]

Looking at all of these, you basically did all I’d look for. Insane job Em!

[tawdry citrus]

thx <3

never thought i'd end up being someone who makes 3d models for this community

i learned blender yesterday

lol

[snow kindle]

Lmao

You did amaaajing

I cant wait to see what you’ll cook up with these later :p

[tawdry citrus]

the next moon i'm making is a floating research platform on the same planet as the company building

its meant to have been built long before the events in the LC universe that led to it being the way it is in the game

so

abandoned for a very long time

[snow kindle]

Sounds cool

[tawdry citrus]

i've mentioned it before

but it'll be themed similarly to titan from destiny 2

like this, but toned down and in a more lc fitting style

[snow kindle]

Oh no Im getting inspired

[rotund tree]

Love Titan, hate that they took it away

[tawdry citrus]

agreed

i remember i used to just run around titan and shoot stuff when i was bored

when i was still learning how to play the game

[rotund tree]

Yeah I also did that sometimes

[tawdry citrus]

it was the most unique location in the game

[rotund tree]

Did you see it during season of arrivals? Was cool seing it with the pyramid

[tawdry citrus]

i dont remember if i did

[rotund tree]

And the background ost being corrupted was great too

[rotund tree]

Fair that was a while ago

[tawdry citrus]

ye

i refuse to touch anything made by bungie now tho

[rotund tree]

Oh same lmao

[tawdry citrus]

i despise that company

[rotund tree]

I'm glad I stopped playing D2

[tawdry citrus]

i spent 200-300$ on the game

and quit instantly without a second thought after the first round of layoffs

[rotund tree]

Same, I probably spent even more, I also played D1

Unhealthy amounts of money and time

[tawdry citrus]

yup

i also wasnt enjoying the game anymore by that time

i was just playing it out of some weird sense of obligation to do so

[rotund tree]

I got burnt out too, wanted to play some other stuff

I never looked back lol

[tawdry citrus]

i did look back

for the final shape

just to test it

to see if it was fun

played the first mission, it gave you the new subclass for free

like

fully unlocked

you could equip it

setup your basic build

but the moment the mission was over

it locked it

[rotund tree]

Of course

I was about to say no way Bungie is giving that out for free

[tawdry citrus]

they at least made it clear for the other two that you dont actually have it unlocked

the plan was 100% to give it for free

and take it away

[rotund tree]

Yep

[tawdry citrus]

so you feel like you already have it

so you have to pay to get it back

rather than paying to get it

[rotund tree]

Bungie in a nutshell

[tawdry citrus]

that was my moment of

"i'm never touching this game again no matter what"

lol

also

for the big finale to the game

the only free to play content

was a menu

[rotund tree]

bruh

I'm so glad I didn't get back into it

Lord knows I would've spent way too much time in there again

[tawdry citrus]

all you got if you were f2p was a menu that they added to replace bounties

thats it

that pissed me off

lol

[rotund tree]

I'm surprised they even gave something for free

[tawdry citrus]

lol

[rotund tree]

They don't even do that usually

[tawdry citrus]

true

[rotund tree]

I kinda wanted to get back into it for TFS

But I ended up just watching vids and streams

Now that the light and darkness saga is over I don't have any real reason to go back

[tawdry citrus]

its funny, one season of d2 is 10$

same price as lc

which i have 495 hours in

not counting the time i've spent making mods for the game

and i'm still happy to play more lc

and zeekers is never gonna ask me for more money

[dapper plover]

ugh d2 haters

[tawdry citrus]

proud bungie hater*

[dapper plover]

I fricking agree

my friend told me to to get the d2 dlc

and it was boring af

I returned it

[rotund tree]

I'm more of a rehabilitated addict myself

[dapper plover]

lol

its never good to play a game, where you need to contantly be paying more money over over again to have fun, it should be 1 purchase and thats it

[rotund tree]

Imagine he asked money for suits lmao

[tawdry citrus]

i'd honestly find it funny

and buy it

[dapper plover]

one game is f2p, and the other isnt

[rotund tree]

Destiny 2 is free to try, not play

[dapper plover]

I had a good 20 hours of enjoyment

[rotund tree]

You can't do much if you're 100% f2p

[dapper plover]

without paying anything

[tawdry citrus]

d2 is a demo that begs you for money

[dapper plover]

for a game that is free, I will take it

[tawdry citrus]

also

theres just better games to play

[rotund tree]

Oh yeah I forgot about the in game ads

[tawdry citrus]

its like a mobile game every time you log in

[rotund tree]

Yeah lol

[tawdry citrus]

the universal experience of spamming the close button

[rotund tree]

hell yeah there are

[tawdry citrus]

to get rid of the 15 ads it throws at you

[rotund tree]

I do miss the gunplay and build crafting doe that shit was excellent

But yeah

[tawdry citrus]

you ever hear of splitgate?

[dapper plover]

my friend:
im not addictied to d2, I only have 600 hours and spent over 400$ on it, I can stop playing it anyitme

[dapper plover]

peak

[rotund tree]

I got 2 on my wishlist

I also played 1 a bunch

[dapper plover]

is 2 f2p

[tawdry citrus]

i played splitgate 2

during the alpha

[dapper plover]

oh nice

[rotund tree]

600? Not addicted

[dapper plover]

I honestly prefered split gate 1, more simple

[tawdry citrus]

splitgate 2 even in the alpha state, is the best fps game currently

[dapper plover]

I dont like abilties and the slide mechanics

what I want, is lethal company but extraction shooter

[tawdry citrus]

and the devs said that isnt even half the content in the actual game

[tawdry citrus]

i love it all

[dapper plover]

probably my dream game

[snow kindle]

Cod2 and 4 combined : 7k hours

[rotund tree]

lmao

[dapper plover]

those are respectable

d2 isnt

[rotund tree]

Yeah, not proud of my 1.7k hours

[tawdry citrus]

i dont even know my numbers

[dapper plover]

I have 350 hours in lethal company

[dapper plover]

apex I have 500

[tawdry citrus]

i've had 2 accoutns

so prob around 600 hours

this tho

[rotund tree]

I got really like really deep into D2. Doing raids, day one dungeons, looking for crews and eventually forming a squad

[dapper plover]

I still wish I had tthe time to be playing these games, in fact i dont even enjoy gasmes that much anymore

I just really only make mods for lethal comapny

and brawl stars

[tawdry citrus]

most of this time was on forge

thats where my map design experience comes from

lol

i had been making maps on halo infinite since the moment forge came out

and only stopped after i started doing the same thing for lethal company

which is the only reason i was able to make moons that were any good for my first try

celestial expansion wouldnt have existed without halo infinite forge

[rotund tree]

Heat map of my D2 addiction

[tawdry citrus]

12.5k downloads on the most recent version is wild

[rotund tree]

Deserved I'd say

[tawdry citrus]

thanks :3

i'm happy people like what i've made

and since the models i've been making are "done"

i'll be getting back to moon making soon

[rotund tree]

Noice

[tawdry citrus]

i'll be doing both things tomorrow

i need a unity project with the patcher ran to finish the models

since i'll be texturing them inside unity

with the actual vanilla textures

[rotund tree]

What are the models for? I know you most definetly already said this earlier but I don't know when and I don't feel like finding it

[tawdry citrus]

just for whenever i need catwalks

the vanilla ones are extremely limiting

so i'm making a modular version

[rotund tree]

Ahh I see I see

[rotund tree]

Yeah Zeekers likes to do that doesn't he? Feel the same way sometimes when I look through the code

[tawdry citrus]

he makes things for where they are

and nowhere else

and like my gf said

honestly, a lot of stuff in the game feels like the first draft

lol

also

lemme get screenshots of all the tiles i made

[rotund tree]

Yeah even I feel that, and my only experience with unity was making a game in 6 months for a school subject + the couple of mods I've made

[tawdry citrus]

this is all the models in the pack i'll be posting here

one thing to keep in mind btw

these are wider than the vanilla catwalks

because the vanilla ones were all rectangles

without any consistent sizing

[rotund tree]

By how much?

[tawdry citrus]

just a bit

since they're squares

it shouldnt mess it up too much to scale them tho

if you wanted it a bit thinner

[rotund tree]

Yeah probably

[tawdry citrus]

all scaling it would do is make the railings oval shaped

[rotund tree]

I dunno if I myself will ever use them, I did have an idea for a moon a while ago but I still don't know if I'll do it or when

[tawdry citrus]

which wouldnt be noticable

[rotund tree]

I suck ass at designing maps lol

[tawdry citrus]

welll

if you do ever need

like

even just railings

for something

these will be setup as prefabs that you can easily pull apart and just use the bits you need

[rotund tree]

Nice

[tawdry citrus]

lemme get screenshots to explain

this will be a seperate object in unity

so will this

[rotund tree]

But they'll be under the same prefab, correct?

[tawdry citrus]

and these will be seperated too

[tawdry citrus]

yes

but you will be able to just unpack the prefabs and pull them apart just to use the parts you want

[rotund tree]

That's very nice

[tawdry citrus]

the purpose of that is so like

if you dont want the catwalk

but you do want the railings

you can just use the railings and slap them on whatever you want

or, if you want the other way around

you can do that too

[rotund tree]

Which should already be a thing with the vanilla assets lol but that's very nice

[tawdry citrus]

i dont think there are actually any vanilla assets that are able to be used that way

[rotund tree]

Yeah I meant that imo what you said is how they should've been

[tawdry citrus]

oh yeah

that would have also made things easier for zeekers if he did things how i'm doing them

he likely had to remake simple things repeatedly

cuz he didnt make things seperately

[near seal]

naur

unity compilation is making it look worse than it actually is

prefabs that only exist in scenes and not references anywhere won't be preserved

the combined mesh stuff is automatic etc.

[rotund tree]

Oh, yeah that explains a lot

[tawdry citrus]

just looking at the models tho

a lot of them were clearly put together in whatever model making software zeekers uses

for that specific usage

i dont doubt it isnt as bad as it looks

but i also am about 99% sure the way zeekers made everything is almost as janky as it possibly can be

[tawdry citrus]

close enough

[tawdry citrus]

guess what i just finished

.>

Catwalks

[tawdry citrus]

the only thing you'll need to do yourself is tag the objects with the correct materials

[snow kindle]

[tawdry citrus]

hmm?

[snow kindle]

I’ll take a look at them when I have my pc set up! Great work!!

[tawdry citrus]

alr thx

[snow kindle]

Oh lmao i just noticed i sent the wrong emoji - wanted to send this

They were next to each other in the favorites

[tawdry citrus]

pfft

[slim fern]

Time to eat these

[snow kindle]

Bwaa nooo I still need them

[slim fern]

I ate them

Should've worked on [REDACTED]

[snow kindle]

We could potentially use these there

[slim fern]

Idk, maybe a little bit but I don't think they'll fit the aesthetic too much

[snow kindle]

We’ll see 🤔

[tawdry citrus]

Would anyone wanna see screenshots of the full textured models?

[tawdry citrus]

@gritty fog since you make stuff generally with the vanilla style, you might want these

[gritty fog]

https://tenor.com/view/lunaistabby-fwadri-gif-15075989615579955918

This will do me great things

[tawdry citrus]

.>

[gritty fog]

Idk if I’m gonna replace my main ones I already have but I’ll def check these out for newer stuff

Replacing what I have would be a huge pain

OH AND I COULD USE THEM FOR INTERIORS

[tawdry citrus]

Yup :3

Anything you want them for

[gritty fog]

Today is a good day

Ty

Does it include stairs

[tawdry citrus]

Yes

[gritty fog]

Cus Wesley has been on my ass about my stairs

[gritty fog]

Ok maybe I’ll replace my stairs

[tawdry citrus]

I can grab screenshots of all the tiles in just a sec

[gritty fog]

They kinda stunk anyways

[tawdry citrus]

Want that?

[gritty fog]

Uh

Sure if it’s not too much work

[tawdry citrus]

It'll only take a like 2 mins

[gritty fog]

Ok nah I’ll just look tomorrow

And by tomorrow I mean in roughly like 6 hours

It’s 4 am for me

[tawdry citrus]

i'm getting screenshots rn tho

[gritty fog]

Oooooooo

[tawdry citrus]

here you go

[gritty fog]

Can’t wait to mess with these

Actually I might just get out of bed and work again 😭

I’m not even tired

[tawdry citrus]

i have them grouped to be super easy to mess with

[gritty fog]

YESSS

that’s perfect

Literally Ty

[tawdry citrus]

you can pull the railings out, retexture whatever

do anything you want with them

[tawdry citrus]

yw :3

[gritty fog]

https://tenor.com/view/mei-mei-meimei-cat-hiss-lock-in-gif-17688478194235498727

[tawdry citrus]

i'm very happy my work is useful to you and others

i made these all for my own personal use, so i made them as easy to work with as possible

this is using the T tiles to make the only flat catwalk you can get from the game assets

lol

[near seal]

these are intended to be 1:1 re-creations of vanilla stuff, yeah?

[tawdry citrus]

not 1:1 but they're meant to look extremely similar

direct comparison

mine are meant to be functionally the same thing, just easy to work with

i'm actually so happy with the way these models came out

i've never touched blender before making these, and now that they're done

i'm mildly proud of them

even tho they're super simple

[snow kindle]

Noice

[solid bough]

you are literary saving me rn 🙏

[tawdry citrus]

omg

you're all amazing

(lil thing i slapped together to show potential usage for these)

quick edit to titan to show another possible use

[snow kindle]

@rustic pine vanillamoonsoverhaul might just be easier with this

[tawdry citrus]

i think you're excited about railings

[snow kindle]

I made an experiment change but my stuff looked really out of place and yknow it was also just me testing some stuff not a serious attempt

Basically put a bridge there with a button which would let it drop down so you can drive up with the cruiser lol

[tawdry citrus]

heres an edit to offense

just placing the catwalks around to show what sorta thing they'd be useful for

theres honestly a lot you can do with these cuz i made sure they were easy to edit

i cant wait to start working on my next moon

cuz theres a lot of catwalk stuff i'm gonna be using for that moon

alsoooo

after my uh

incident

with an asset from the unity asset store

aka the most likely reason my last moon was completely broken

i'll be making the assets i need

for the most part

and there wont be any terrain used in my next moon

so expect more assets to be made

i'll be posting everything i make here, for free usage by anyone

even if i dont think anyone would have a use for the asset

someone might, so i might as well post it

[solid bough]

this looks awesome!!

[tawdry citrus]

Omg! thats so cool

i'm soooo glad you're able to use them

[rustic pine]

test my shit first

[merry ridge]

why would someone test your shit

who want to touch feces

[rustic pine]

s1ckboy does

[merry ridge]

wow

[tawdry citrus]

what the

[merry ridge]

ahem

nayways

do these moons still work in V62?

even if they're cancelled?

or are they broken?

[tawdry citrus]

Absolutely no idea

They might

But I haven't checked

I'm about to start working on new ones tho

[frail sundial]

why i am on this thread

[rustic pine]

because you are

stoopid question

[frail sundial]

no

i mean

oh someone pinged me here, that's why

https://tenor.com/view/bad-boy-nice-guy-turn-from-nice-guy-to-slightly-bad-boy-slightly-bad-boy-tik-tok-gif-25518244

[tawdry citrus]

When?

[frail sundial]

let me see

[rustic pine]

.

[frail sundial]

shi about the optimization

since i use vanilla models and textures

[tawdry citrus]

Ah

[frail sundial]

I just set all the game textures to 512x512 pixels and enabled compression for 50%

now my moons are like 40, 60mb

just saying, maybe someone needss

[rustic pine]

pins in #dev-moons

😔

[tawdry citrus]

Who wants new moons >.>

see you all in a week then <3

i'll have some moons done by then

[tawdry citrus]

i'll be active here during that btw

will keep you updated

[desert forge]

Wait— do you actually have plans to make that a proper project?

[snow kindle]

Potentially

[tawdry citrus]

Ughhh

I've been trying to sleep for the past hour

Laying in bed with my eyes closed

And I'm more awake than I was when I started

I love insomnia

[merry ridge]

me too

[dapper plover]

going to be using ur catwalks for my next moons

[rustic pine]

Going to be using your cat walks for my cat to walk

[tawdry citrus]

awesome! hope you have an easy time working with them

[dapper plover]

I just did it was great

even when tweaking the sizes and stuff

I wanted to thin it down, and make it shorter and stuff

[tawdry citrus]

oh, quick tip

if you wanna shrink the width

but keep the shape of the rails

you can separately scale the floor of it

and just move the railings back into place

[dapper plover]

I just did of the whole thing

[tawdry citrus]

that does work, just saying that this preserves the shape

not a big deal either way tho

a lil bit of smushing wont really be noticable

[tawdry citrus]

[desert forge]

[dapper plover]

some of the catwalks I was using of urs

[tawdry citrus]

awesome, one suggestion tho

add either, braces underneath connecting to the walls, or supporting pillarts holding up the center

[tawdry citrus]

Who wants more modular assets for building your environments

I can't get myself to work on moons

[rustic pine]

What you thinking of making next?

[tawdry citrus]

Stuff to make structures with

Walls and such

[rustic pine]

Hmmm

[tawdry citrus]

Hm?

[round gulch]

Why don't you start working on your interior?

[tawdry citrus]

I don't have the energy to get into all that

I don't have the energy or mental capacity to really do anything

But like

I'm not doing anything at all

So I still wanna at least try to make stuff for people

If I can

[round gulch]

Thats fair

Your models are great so far

[tawdry citrus]

I just won't be making any moons or stuff like that because of the time and energy investment

I literally just don't have the energy to start, or even want to start

And even if I did

I'd hate it

I'd be doing it out of an obligation to work on something

And would be making something low quality

[dapper plover]

bet thx

[merry ridge]

don't overwork yourself

just do it when ever you feel like it

[sage vault]

I imagine a pack of generic vanilla-style assets would be a greatly appreciated developer resource

[blissful gorge]

would be sick as fuck

[blissful gorge]

maybe variations of falling bridges?

would be cool for some different bridging outside

[tawdry citrus]

Wdym

[blissful gorge]

some curved ones, ones that overlap on top of eachother, some that go up, like sloping ones

some shapes (?) 1 and 3 are top views

so you could make corner pieces and middle pieces, bits that change in elevation, etc

idk it's a little weird that every moon uses the same falling bridge lol

I don't really mind it much, it's just something I noticed

by falling bridges I mean the ones from vow and adamance

though now that I think about it idk how adding falling animations for them would work, unless you'd just add particle effects to them as opposed to having the pieces fall down and the particles

oooohh modular pipes, that one would be easier

pipes that go vertical, perpendicular, horizontal, some pieces to connect em and stuff

[tawdry citrus]

Falling bridges would be far out of my ability

[blissful gorge]

yeah they would take a looot of work, esp with the anims

I don't blame ya

[near seal]

What makes you think this

[tawdry citrus]

I have no idea how to make that

Even though I have made things before, doesn't mean I actually know what I'm doing

[near seal]

how comfortable are oyu in unity

generally not like programming or anything

[tawdry citrus]

Just a lil

I probably only know like 20% of what there is to know

If even

[near seal]

A rough way to do it would be having a rigidbody on the bridge parts with gravity disabled

then make a unity animation that turns on the gravity on all those parts

then person runs animation, gravity enabled on all the bits and they all falls

[tawdry citrus]

Wouldn't that cause lag?

From collisions

Because they'd be down below moving around and causing constant collisions?

[near seal]

possibly

[tawdry citrus]

What would be interesting to learn how to make

And extendable bridge

That retracts after a timer runs out

So the weight limit wouldn't be based on the bridge falling

It'd be based on how fast you can get across

[near seal]

unity animations are super chill to make once you get a little familiar

[tawdry citrus]

I'm very unfamiliar with them

A simple elevator took me a week to not even get it working

Lol

And I know someone more experienced could slap one together in like 2 minutes

[merry ridge]

hmm

i sure wonder

will Lunar or Emily release their project first?

[moon ofc]

[tawdry citrus]

Who's Lunar?

[merry ridge]

#1221602970446336100

they're kinda like you

releasing moons soon

[and interiors i guess? 🤔 ]

[rustic pine]

not really, but rigidbodies are just hard to control to do something in general

[tawdry citrus]

got a new username that i'm gonna be using as my online name, yes its very silly

and thats the point

Pancake's Moons!

[rustic pine]

Btw, to not discourage you from using rigidbodies since it was implied earlier that they're bad for performance, keep in mind every enemy uses one (they need it to open doors) and every player also has one

Ik the convo is a bit old now but just wanted to make sure u knew lol

[merry ridge]

from your (probably real) life name to Pancake eh?

I like that transition

i believe you can tell due to the fact I too have food in my name

[red umbra]

i know what the next name will be..

[merry ridge]

😱

[red umbra]

amgil (backwards)

[tawdry citrus]

Glad people like the name change this time

[round gulch]

I sometimes eat corridors

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cam-cat-camera-cat-wide-cat-wide-gif-16729570673879006163

[tawdry citrus]

trueeeee

https://tenor.com/view/cat-big-bite-cat-eat-gif-20087133

if i make a new moon, how does a fully underwater moon sound?

[toxic turtle]

another milk moon, yes please

[tawdry citrus]

lol

[blissful gorge]

sounds super super cool, what would you do to deal with limited oxygen?

[tawdry citrus]

that would be the moons entire gimmick

pockets of air that you have to walk through water to get to

[tired crown]

I mean you kind of already abandoned your previous one you made

[blissful gorge]

sounds sick

[tawdry citrus]

wdym

the cave?

[tired crown]

Yes

[tawdry citrus]

yeah that ones abandoned until i remake it

i got mega depressed and havent been able to get myself to work on anything

i'm doing a bit better now so i'm looking for stuff to make

[merry ridge]

i mean the part where i have bbq in my name

[tawdry citrus]

Nuh uh

[merry ridge]

yuh uh

[tawdry citrus]

i was a lil busy today

didnt get to work on anything

gonna prob get something started before bed

[round gulch]

Take your time

[tawdry citrus]

got another smaller asset

Pipes
