Castellum Carnis - The Flesh Interior

[arctic scroll]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WO77KGJplIEC64qmBClOgfEEoFxrhMurCEqe9FKod8I/edit?usp=sharing

[odd cargo]

Perfect!! Thank you so much

[vapid kraken]

this interior FLESH, actually

[odd cargo]

Whipped up a couple of concepts for potential flesh tone variants (Standard, Snowy, Amethyst)

Probably won't pursue it for a bit but its a fun thing to conceptualize

[azure rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/theyre-the-same-picture-the-office-pam-the-office-us-gif-20757621

jk lol

hard to tell the diffrernce though

[odd cargo]

Yeah, I'd want it to be subtle. The snowy bit could probably be a bit more pale tbh

[cyan lantern]

Amethyst could use a pinch more pink and snowy could be pale yeah

[plucky plinth]

on snowy maybe you could see the blizzard through the whole in the roof

[vocal inlet]

hypothermic carnis

[odd cargo]

A few lil tweaks here 'n there

Casually noticing the edits to the purple version is hardly noticeable oops

[odd cargo]

Also I really really like this idea

[plucky plinth]

thanks

[brazen helm]

how about main entrance variants

[plucky plinth]

that could be interesting depending on how it is done

I think that moving the main entrance door randomly like the mineshaft/mansion could be done?

[limpid prawn]

just had an idea for doors in the interior what if they were like the doors in the nautiloid from baldurs gate 3

https://youtu.be/AuWBilrVMSk?t=66

how they open ^

[gritty dew]

oooo it could work like how chameleon does it

replacing the front door

when you have the interior

[limpid prawn]

that would also be sick

[brazen helm]

or the mouth doors in ultrakill

[limpid prawn]

that would be cool as well

[gritty dew]

unless I missed it is there a stomach room?

[limpid prawn]

no idea

[dense rock]

No

[odd cargo]

So I actually drew up some sketches for two different door types early on--one of which was literally just the Gluttony door, and the other was a three flap heart valve-like door. The entrance to the bone archetype was supposed to be a door as well, but was going to always require a key which would shatter it open. I never implemented the heart valve door because I couldn't mentally figure out how its collision would work, and the bone door would suck from a gameplay perspective

[odd cargo]

There's no stomach room and I actively tried to avoid making one since they're such a common trope in living structure levels

That being said

A friend had a really unique idea that I might do in the future

And instead of acid I'd want to make it an oversized Hydrogere

[limpid prawn]

that would be cool

[gritty dew]

fair enough, here is an idea that isnt overdone, the inside of an eye

[odd cargo]

Already a room lol

[gritty dew]

maybe im blind lol

[silk star]

Wait huh

Which tile is that?

The purple one?

[odd cargo]

Yeah the purple dome room

It has a flat floor for gameplay purposes

[gritty dew]

ohhhhhh

yeah that makes sense

dam I thought I had a cool idea

and it exists already haha

[silk star]

I thought it was an ear initially

Mainly because of the hair-like fibers on the floor

[brazen helm]

ok what is with this creepy ambience as if the flesh wasn't creepy enough

[gritty dew]

now im imagining the man eater is just an overgrown parasite

[silk star]

Isn't that linked with the ||human skull protruding out of a wall||?

[gritty dew]

like those ones that eat fish tongues

[brazen helm]

idk I was in the room with the big pit/company ambience room

[gritty dew]

ah mystery flesh pit

the series that got me to watch wendigoon

[odd cargo]

That's a really curious idea... Never considered a room based around a cochlea or the hammer bones.

[odd cargo]

[gritty dew]

tongue trampoline

peak fiction

[odd cargo]

Hahahaha

One of my earlier concepts for the hand pit room had a tongue on it

Instead of like the thumb

[gritty dew]

kidney full of stones

[lyric sorrel]

could do injuries

like ulcers

or sores

[gritty dew]

tumors

you ever hear of those tumors that grow teeth hair and eyes

[odd cargo]

Teratomas, right?

[lyric sorrel]

little homunculus

[gritty dew]

Yaknow having hair could be really cursed haha

[limpid prawn]

speaking of the flesh pit it would be cool if there was a room or area that slowly fills with saliva over time

and after a certain amount of time it goes back to normal and gets refilled again

maybe it could be on flooded moons only

[plucky plinth]

that would be cool

[odd cargo]

I have concept for an alternative version of the hand jump room that lacks the hands and is purely injuries. I want to tackle that variant at some point.

The big part about making tumors or glands as details is properly conveying that that's what they are

[lyric sorrel]

blood fountain

[lyric sorrel]

could do them in the form of map hazards

[odd cargo]

This one prop is the closest I got to adding one, but it also needs to blend in with the world geometry convincingly

[limpid prawn]

as someone always gets those very accurate

[odd cargo]

This could be cool. I'd need to get interior water working first, since for some reason it never wants to play nice with any of my projects

I'd want to make it fun though and not just a chore to deal with

[odd cargo]

The blending in part is the issue

[lyric sorrel]

making these another vent variant could be cool

[odd cargo]

Which is why they only appear with the regular flesh material

[lyric sorrel]

a zit that pops and an enemy comes out

[limpid prawn]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/squirrelboydev/OopsAllFlooded/ maybe the coding with this can help you out

[lyric sorrel]

or maybe a cut that bleeds as an enemy comes out

[limpid prawn]

ah

[lyric sorrel]

this mod

annoys me

visually it works

but functionally

the water never works

its just like

an effect

doesnt drown me

[limpid prawn]

i mean its almost a year old it probs doesnt work anymore

[plucky plinth]

it drowns like 30% of the time

[gritty dew]

it was good with oxygen

[plucky plinth]

still very broken

[gritty dew]

oxygen is a must have in my packs

[odd cargo]

I thought about having some kinda blood flooding mechanic for the interior

But that just doesn't seem fun

I want to stay relatively vanilla

[gritty dew]

maybe when taking the apparatus

[limpid prawn]

if it was for like a single room or something it would be fine

[gritty dew]

kinda like how armory has the spike celling

[odd cargo]

Sorry dude but I'm not gonna add it. Water at a large scale just isn't fun to deal with with the slowdown and stamina drain

Probably with what Sterworld said--a single room with a workaround

That'd probably be the best option

[gritty dew]

yeah im just throwing stuff at the wall haha

[limpid prawn]

i hate the stamina drain function

it should only take stamina when your under water

[gritty dew]

tbh id prob end up hating it too XD

[limpid prawn]

speaking of the armoury interior spike ceiling it would be cool to have a room thats roof slowly falls down

[gritty dew]

mario twomp lol

[brazen helm]

that doesn't look like...

[limpid prawn]

wesleys desolation moon has a cool fleshly thing that blocks the path for a bit

[lyric sorrel]

woah.

didnt realise that was a thing

is it counted as a hazard?

[limpid prawn]

i dont know

[silk star]

No

They're static models that replay animations from what I can see

[warm owl]

oo it actually got a proper model and isnt a textureless red blob anymore?

[lyric sorrel]

does it use a custom interior then?

[silk star]

No, it's apart of the moon's scene

So it's exclusive to Desolation and only Desolation only because of that

[silk star]

Looks to be the same model /w just a new texture

(Look at the topology of the eyes...)

[warm owl]

nah its def not the same model

before it was just like a slightly deformed stretched sphere

its nothing crazy rn but its much better than before

[lyric sorrel]

how do you mean

[warm owl]

its part of the moons scene

it is the on the moons scene

a bunch of them are just placed below the map near where the interior spawns and they are set to slowly fall down

so they just slowly appear in random places falling down\

[lyric sorrel]

strange way to do it lmao

[arctic scroll]

best way to do it

[odd cargo]

Yeah that makes sense

Easy way to circumvent having to inject props into a dungeon generation

[stuck portal]

And that's why the moons from wesley are the best, all of them have unique gimmicks

[warm owl]

the unique gimmick of a braken outside

[arctic scroll]

the unique gimmick of 0 lights

[odd cargo]

the unique gimmick of an outside jester

[silk star]

The unique gimmick of a fucking indoor forest keeper on Gloom...

[azure rivet]

wait, is this true? I've never been on gloom

[silk star]

Yes

I had the misfortunate of encountering one long long ago

Thankfully their weight is low

[gritty dew]

huh in all this time never saw it

I go there often

[silk star]

Might've been either removed or lowered Idk

Back then, I didn't edit my moons

So everything was by default

[azure rivet]

even tho people are saying how underwhelming the gimmicks are, they still more gimmicks than most moons lol

yeah it's a super low chance on gloom

just checked

[gritty dew]

I think people are joking a lil lol

even a minor gimmick like that makes the gameplay feel different

[azure rivet]

I figured they where 😂

[gritty dew]

one gimmick id love to see is a claustrophic indoor moon where snare fleas spawn outdoor making you have to always watch the celling

maybe id be like a cave

[odd cargo]

Yeah lil gimmicks can go a long way

I'd like to think Railroad Ridge had a neat enough gimmick with the connected fire exits

[gritty dew]

Prob the craziest moons gimmick ive seen is like

derelict

from voxx's moons

[lyric sorrel]

I love derelict

Love getting a boat dropped on top of my head

Synthesis has a pretty fun gimmick too

Although basic (which I kinda like tbf, less is more)

But fun nonetheless

[still plover]

i just want wait for zeranos

might have the craziest gimmick yet

[brazen helm]

IT KEEPS TORMENTING ME

why did I randomly hear a snow footstep

also defenitley not trypophobia inducing

[late horizon]

Chat is this sound designed

Im at school rn but i love sound designing disgusting squelchy shit

Definitely trying this mod out later

[plucky plinth]

somewhat

[cyan lantern]

That did not sound like snow lmao

[plucky plinth]

its definitely one of the sound step sounds

[lime moss]

it's the puddle footsteps

[brazen helm]

that did NOT sound like a puddle

[cyan lantern]

Probably snow3

Its really damn loud though

[lime moss]

oh i see you're talking about the really loud sound

it doesn't really match snow3

[late horizon]

the icon reminds me of that one minecraft story mode chapter

[odd cargo]

Oh wow that's weird. Yeah I'll admit I have no idea what happened there.

What moon were you on?

[late horizon]

Im recording absolutely disgusting noises using an extremely rotten halloween pumpkin

Might throw up

Will record that too if i do

💀

[odd cargo]

Oooooooo 👀

[brazen helm]

oh I don't remember, didn't find the issue that big of a deal except a jumpscare skullcry

[late horizon]

What server is that emoji from

its gorgeous

wait its an image

im stupid

anyway

pumpkin

[late horizon]

gives me shivers bruh 💀

[hexed pebble]

oooohhh yeah

that's what good mac n cheese sounds like

sound design is off the charts

[unreal parcel]

welp, now there are 2 meat stepping sounds

[late horizon]

I have like a folder with 40 minutes of absolutely disgusting sounds

Like

Gulpy squelchy nasty

Ew

Just

Yeah thats how to describe it lmao

Ew

[cyan lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/druski-gif-23886381

[late horizon]

many things

https://tenor.com/view/get-griddy-the-employee-fortnite-emote-dance-gif-10284675750835073613

(can we talk about how the lethal company fortnite skin technically costs more than the actual steam game)

[brazen helm]

I wanna talk about how good the skin itself looks

and how bad the pickaxe is 😭

[late horizon]

they like literally couldve kept the original proportions with some texture adjustments and it wouldve been fine

its still alright

couldve been better

the dance is great though

[brazen helm]

yeah but isnt the player rig a bit messy

example: the oxygen tank while crouching

[late horizon]

yeah

[still plover]

only thing fortnite related i will ever buy in my entire life

[brazen helm]

and the skibidi toilet backbling 👍👍👍

[lime moss]

no! we can't talk about that! because this is thread for halls of flesh...

[still plover]

i wished.....

[late horizon]

mb mb

I'll speak in flesh language

[odd cargo]

~~Putting the Fortnite skin in Castellum to make the conversation relevant ~~

[odd cargo]

Like Moroxide said, there's now two footstep sounds... I like both sound packs you all made equally, so I can maybe find a way to incorporate both of them once I get back to the project since these hecking slap

[odd cargo]

Case and point, these would make for some fire ambient sounds if tweaked

...Once I figure out how to get the sound replacement thing working. That being said I'm still on my break since my friend would crucify me if I opened my unity project again this week

[late horizon]

Yeah i got lots of bubbly squelchy ambient noises that would sound crazy slowed down

I’ll send some tommorow

[lime moss]

honestly i prefer the regular vanilla sounds

[lone bramble]

dude this is fucking sick wtf

this is the first interior other than the office one that actually seems vanilla alongide being high quallity

I love it

[boreal meadow]

You should try GenericInteriors

[lone bramble]

oh? Do you have a video of the mod? (or screenshot idk)

thanks for the reccomendation anyways

[boreal meadow]

There’s some screenshots on the mod page I think

I’ll find them real quick

[boreal meadow]

It’s mostly tighter corridors similar to the factory

But can have larger rooms

[lone bramble]

oh shit thats nice

[boreal meadow]

Genuinely a great interior

It’s also getting updated soon to have a few more features which make it similar to the factory

Definitely worth giving a go if you want more vanilla styled interiors

[plucky plinth]

indeed

and I am not biased since one of my room ideas got into the mod

[lone bramble]

lol

[lone bramble]

A bit later lol

but do you know any good vanilla moon mods?

[boreal meadow]

heh

No

[lone bramble]

oop

ok lmao

[boreal meadow]

Rebalanced moons does rebalance some of the moons

But I don’t play with modded moons that often, one of my friends that joined recently has 8GB of RAM

He wants to upgrade soon so I’m avoiding RAM heavy content for the current modpack

[lone bramble]

ah mk

[lone bramble]

this interior mod is very good just feels a bit empty (Im a perfectionist mb)

still one of the best besides this one and LC_Office tho

imo

[boreal meadow]

It’s getting an update soon

[lone bramble]

fr?

W

[boreal meadow]

Don’t think there’s any new tiles, mostly just changes like the lights being off sometimes in rooms like factory I think

Last time I checked it was getting an update soon though

Could be wrong

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lone bramble]

oh ok

still a W either way loll

[plucky plinth]

I think there was gonna be 1 new tile

its a break room

[lone bramble]

niceee

[plucky plinth]

and I suggested it so thats why I'm not biased

[boreal meadow]

Forgor about that

Saw it mentioned once and it’s a neat idea

[lone bramble]

we know lol

[daring mica]

Hey, played this yesterday

stupidly uncomfy in VR. 10/10 map

Made me feel like Minos prime

[late horizon]

I played this in VR as well

for about 3 seconds

😭

[brazen helm]

https://tenor.com/view/ultra-kill-minos-prime-minos-free-at-gif-26917154

its gotten to the point where I need to disable this interior on solo playtroughs/modpack testing

[daring mica]

dude the moaning and groaning is

A

[lyric sorrel]

a panopticon room would go so hard

https://tenor.com/view/live-panopticon-reaction-ultrakill-p-2-panopticon-gif-7582015128722699592

[brazen helm]

https://tenor.com/view/flesh-pirson-ultrakill-sticky-the-stickman-minos-prime-gif-16160991033843112683

This prison to hold.. ME?

[lime moss]

do they know

[lyric sorrel]

Don’t tell me there’s actually a tile for it

[silk star]

||I got the ULTRAKILL reference in the cliff abyss tile yesterday while debugging||

It was directly to the right of main lmao, so I immediately heard it

[silk star]

Got footage of it (Spoilers obviously):

[lyric sorrel]

That ain’t a reference I don’t think

That’s just ||cruiser music||

If it were playing ||the fire is gone|| it would be

||big vast empty room I never assumed was an ultrakill reference, just a cool thing||

[silk star]

Nah it isn’t

It’s the song that was sampled in Minos Prime’s Spinal Staircase ost

I ended the recording before I could actually get to the specific sample because

y’know

the jester was there

[lyric sorrel]

I need comparisons then cause I cannot hear it🗣️🗣️

I’m not doubting you also

Just

I can’t hear it

[silk star]

https://youtu.be/MNXdVTcoTns?si=YLGPmgsDPI3IGdBh

[lime moss]

it's the original music, in ultrakill it's just a short sample

[lyric sorrel]

Tbf it makes sense

Iv spent the least amount time playing the game in the prime sanctums

Skill issue on my behalf 😔

[odd cargo]

Been a hot minute 👀 Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!

Lemme see about catching up with all I missed

[odd cargo]

I'm really flattered you think so 🤍 Glad you're really enjoying it

[odd cargo]

Oh man I haven't even considered the prospect of this in VR, glad you're having a gnarly time

[odd cargo]

So about that.... I actually drew up some concepts for a Prime Sanctum(s) inspired room, but once I blocked it out I realized it was far too big and clunky to explore around. Still might play around with the concept in the future though

[odd cargo]

The tracks in the map are actually ripped from directly from Ultrakill. The OST version of the Spinal Staircase is mixed in a way that matches up perfectly with the player walking down it with no hesitation, but is actually comprised of 4 different tracks. All four of them are utilized in the map

[lime moss]

oh huh

[odd cargo]

A few little updates as well--I'm testing with having the "two handed" room be properly affected by the passage of time and snowy weather. Having some trouble getting the scripts working but the assets are ready to go

I'm prototyping a new "ravine" room, and I might have a concept for a new interior I might dabble in

[vapid kraken]

the spoingle

[vocal inlet]

Lemmy? .o.

[odd cargo]

Lemmy? What's that?

[unreal parcel]

Lemmy!

[vocal inlet]

oh nothin

[odd cargo]

Oh no

[gritty dew]

Booger?

[odd cargo]

Naw, but I do want to experiment with dripping particles at some point

This is a prop I actually wanted to release Castellum with, but I got annoyed at myself for constantly pushing the release out further and further so I decided to hold off 'til later

(Its later now)

[warm owl]

real asf

[odd cargo]

Hahahaha

[silk star]

Reminds me of Xen a bit

I love it

Deadass almost called it cute, I’m weird

[odd cargo]

Hey man, to each their own 👀

[silk star]

True lol

[odd cargo]

One more WIP before I get some sleep

Really excited to implement this light, and subsequently update the older ones too with my new shader

[fierce valley]

Are those supposed to be vocal polyps? Is the new tile a voicebox?

[odd cargo]

Nope, it's actually a unique light for the void room. I showed a coworker of mine a WIP of the void room a week or two before release and they commented the light looked like a lit matchstick and that kinda soiled the design for me. So this will be used for ground based lights, should another room come about that will need one too

[lime moss]

can you make it do a funny dance

[lime moss]

this is so awesome

[silk star]

Btw

Could Popper be updated soon™️ to include both her reg and Christmas skins?

[odd cargo]

Yeah don't worry, I'll be dropping her update when the new year drops

[silk star]

Swag!

[brazen helm]

[lavish ruin]

castellum when you bring a boombox

[lethal finch]

are there any moons you guys would suggest putting this on?

[lyric sorrel]

Reign

It kinda fits for some weird reason

Can’t explain why, it just does

Base game titan works super well too

[lethal finch]

idk why i dont have reign

what moon pack is it part of?

[lyric sorrel]

It’s just called

Reign im pretty sure

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Beaniebe/85_Reign/

Little niche one, vanilla like

Honestly one of my favourites

It’s nice

[lethal finch]

oh interesting, might check it out but also i already have way too many moons

[lyric sorrel]

Goes well along side dine, rend and titan imo

[lethal finch]

i have almost 50 moons

[lyric sorrel]

Scary

[lethal finch]

yeah

and im using central config to customize the interiors on every single one

also loot tables and yada yada

if i could see how much time i've had Gale open in total, it would be easily more than i've spent actually playing the game

[lyric sorrel]

Individual moon loot tables are a hassle

I just have loot tables for individual interiors

Keeps it much more compact and personalised

And I just have moons affect the multiplier / scrap amount

[lyric sorrel]

Me too

I have many text document spread sheets of all my interior, enemy and scrap rates

And weather configs for enemy and scrap injections

Yummy weather flooded = 2.5x Bruce boosted weights

[lethal finch]

yeah i only have 1 spreadsheet for interior rates at the second

[lyric sorrel]

Ahh fairs

[lethal finch]

should probably document my other things too though

[lyric sorrel]

I recommend having at least one moon that has equal chances for all interiors

I have artifice set for that

Gotta have at least one unique moon for interior rates

[lethal finch]

yeah i considered it

maybe

[lethal finch]

all of my moons are unique with interior rates honestly

[lyric sorrel]

Horrifying

Also

Would it be possible to add something to this interior that reuses/recycles the kidnapper fox tongue code

Like a ceiling barnacle or smth

That drags players up

[upbeat jasper]

Dude this place is sick af

[hexed pebble]

where are you right now

you are being digested

this does not look safe

[lime moss]

i don't think the interior has any special code things currently

[lyric sorrel]

Tragic 😔

[upbeat jasper]

Does Black Mesa do this?

In the latest update right?

[lyric sorrel]

Yeah but I think that’s their on barnacle

Not specifically using kidnapper fox code

[willow thicket]

Yes ^^

[odd cargo]

Woaaahhhhh that RULES

[odd cargo]

Yeah probably not. If it's not a part of the base game or JLL I probably can't add it. Apologies!

[willow thicket]

Actually you could do like a hazard similar to that with JLL

Just a tongue grabbing a player is probably doable but Im not 100% sure

[arctic scroll]

doing damage interactions etc? not gonna be doable without any custom code lol

[lyric sorrel]

The kidnapper fox is base game but I’m not sure how much code is left over

[odd cargo]

Yeah I've thought about something like that for a specific room I have in mind since I saw the function

[odd cargo]

Yes, but I don't know how I'd go about using the tongue function alone. Honestly I wouldn't really want to--I want to keep gimmicks to just the dungeon's layout and room traversal

People are more than welcome to make custom traps for it as a side addon, but I wouldn't want it mixed into the interior by default

[willow thicket]

Completely fair, I think some interior specific hazards would go hard but its your choice in the end (ofc others could technically do it but that imo wouldnt be authentic)

What you made is one of my favorite interiors so far and I personally havent even had the chance to play in it just saw pics and streams of it

[odd cargo]

Ah gosh thank you so much 🤍

Admittedly I do have a hazard tile in mind for the labyrinth but I'd want to make sure its fair and doesn't really impede gameplay too much

[crystal dagger]

Stomach Acid/Acid Fumes? White Bloodcells? Cancer cells? o:

Constantly Gnashing teeth?
So many ideas to play around with

Snot/Mucus pools on the ground (think of them as a water alternative as if someone was in a flooded cave system) that could slow players down if shallow (if thats what one would want to use for a mechanic)..

Hostile mutated fetuses (stuck in the walls/floors) that can cause damage or hold a player in place/slow them down if they walk close enough

[odd cargo]

There's a lot of unique possibilities with the interior theme, but my whole thing is that I don't want to stray too far from the vanilla style too much

[crystal dagger]

ah i see.

[odd cargo]

Too many hazards or gimmicks absolutely kills interiors for me

Actually had to downpatch a couple because too much got added that me and my group didn't like

[crystal dagger]

so probably just a simple pool of mucus that slows peopel dow nas they traverse across/over/ it(?)

[crystal dagger]

oh wow. thats really surprising

care to elaborate on what they were? o:

[odd cargo]

Naw, I don't wanna send any bad vibes to the creators

[crystal dagger]

im curious in regards as to whether or not you'd be willing to opt for them being configurable

[crystal dagger]

oh o.o

geez, that's fair. if its really sensitive material..
Would you be willing to share in DM<s and sate my curiosity?

DMs*

[odd cargo]

It's not sensitive, I just don't want to be disrespectful to their visions

I will say in regards to Castellum

I have an idea in mind for a zipper mouth floor hazard that opens in a pulse similar to the Panopticon, or perhaps a room that constricts in a similar fashion to timed spike traps

I feel the zipper mouth would be more interesting/fair to work around since spike traps already can spawn in the map

[crystal dagger]

ive thought about that but i imagine it'd be a nightmare to throw together (even harder than i expect since im not someone who knows how to make such things)

in regards to the contsricting rooms that is

constricting*

[odd cargo]

The plans currently are to get some of JLL's scripts working so I can add some extra detailing to the map, but upgrading to v69 for the Unity project has not been cooperating with me

[odd cargo]

My biggest worry is communicating to players that it's a hazard

Like seeing a giant line of teeth on the ground opening and closing on their own is pretty obvious, but having a whole room that can close would be hard to show without it being fast

And that'd be a problem with heavy scrap

[crystal dagger]

Mmmm... what if you make it more like a puzzle room?

cant say ive seen anyone implement puzzle rooms to LC yet (though you may consider that as branching off from vanilla gameplay)

too far off from*

[odd cargo]

I do yeah. If it's not in like with the Factory/Manor/Mineshaft then I'm probably gonna keep away from it. Plus I'm not a programmer

[crystal dagger]

fair. neither am i. haha

[rain turret]

How are you able to set loot tables by interior rather than moon? I was using lethal quantities for my mod pack to set loot pools per moon but this would be so much better cuz I also have a ton of moons, like 36

[lyric sorrel]

central config

yummy options

i can do enemies too

or rather enemy multipliers, they tend to be better imo than enemy injections

for office I have shrimp set to 2.5x

flooded weather be epic

[odd cargo]

Omg it preserved my stupid DungeonFlow filename

[shut grove]

I thought that was intended

[odd cargo]

Nope, hahahahaha

I went through 4 other iterations before I got one that worked properly

"Lines Attempt" was the fifth and final one

[rain turret]

interesting, i gotta try this

[twilit nebula]

that's so fucking sick

[odd cargo]

Coming probably this weekend

[cyan lantern]

Just a lil dude

[dense rock]

just a guy

[rain turret]

the perfidious polyp

[crystal dagger]

@odd cargo how about'a fun lil alternative to valves and steam?

Sphincter (or just orifices) that spew out gas/fumes?

Only difference between the normal fumes from steam, is that it can also flur your vision like the TZP inhaler?

[lime moss]

i think the animations and lights should be a bit slower

[upbeat jasper]

I think the animation is fine but the flickering might be a bit fast

[hollow spear]

I think it's swag

[odd cargo]

After looking at it with some fresh eyes yeah the lights are a bit fast. I slowed them down a good amount so it looks more natural, although the wiggle animation's going to stay the same speed. Glad y'all dig it though!

Currently looking to upgrade my decomp of the game from v64 to v69 for the updated JLL scripts but so far I have had 0 luck. Every script associated with the base game gets nuked, and reassigning them manually clears all the settings I had

To be honest I've yet to find a reliable method of upgrading unity packages without everything imploding

[arctic scroll]

Do you have your stuff on github?

[odd cargo]

I do not. I am not tech savvy in the slightest when it comes to code

[arctic scroll]

Hmm are you able to send your Unity project somewhere? I'll see if I can get it working with a v69 and take a look at a github thing for it

[odd cargo]

If you give me a bit I can upload it to mega.nz

I have pretty slow internet so it'll take a bit

[arctic scroll]

Yeah take ur time

I'm not able to touch it for another couple hours anywa6

[odd cargo]

I appreciate it either way, thank you again

[arctic scroll]

[arctic scroll]

attempt number 1 at this thing

i'm just having it in the background while i do some work lol

[hexed pebble]

is everything with your JLL in a scene?

maybe you can like bunch everything up into a prefab

repatch the project

then drag everything out

basically like nothing happened?

[arctic scroll]

still going, lol

if this doesnt work i have another way but its kinda funny how long this is taking

[hexed pebble]

honestly it's taken longer for me

[arctic scroll]

oh no this isnt me importing assets, this is me fixing scripts in the new patcher for v69 stuff lol

[upbeat jasper]

I feel this in every fiber of my soul

[arctic scroll]

im gonna try something else lol

[arctic scroll]

ill need core to check the stuff out but i think i've got most stuff working on the latest patcher

[rugged iris]

One of the better interiors so far imo, great work!

finally one that gives a higher quality impression and really fits into the game

[warm owl]

I (think) this also might be one of the first to be fully (or mostly) custom modeled

Instead of like the unity asset store

But I might just be wrong

[rugged iris]

yeah

it shows

it's really great

[storm star]

This is arguably my favorite modded interior thus far. Reminds me of playing OoT and being inside Lord Jabu-Jabu

[odd cargo]

🤍🤍🤍

Thank you guys so much!! I'm really flattered you guys like it so much

[odd cargo]

I think the bunker might have been fully custom but I can't say for sure since its been so long. When it comes to Castellum, asides from assets that are reused from the base game and the seamless noise textures I downloaded, everything is totally custom made!! I take great pride in making all my assets from scratch

[dense rock]

unrelated to anything other than this happening on this interior when I played with da oomfies last night

[odd cargo]

AHAHH, oh man he was waiting for you

[plucky plinth]

1 frame of the death

[crystal dagger]

he pre-aimed too. thats crazy. as soon as they turned the corner, the nutcracker snuck up like bugs bunny. xD

[dim lotus]

is tehre an apperatus

[odd cargo]

Yes!

It spawns in the center of the generation

[unreal parcel]

Happy to see you again bsl :]

[odd cargo]

Remember everyone, big dumb dev objects are your BEST friends when debugging nonsense

[lyric sorrel]

From whom the bell tolls

[odd cargo]

Pushing an update to 1.0.4 right now! Thanks to @arctic scroll , the project file was successfully patched up to v69 allow for JLL's scripts to work properly! Patch notes:

• Added a unique ground light prop to the "void" room
• Added veins to the fire exit metal walls
• Fixed the normal map on some of the veins
• Fixed the main entrance and fire exit walls not having collision
• The "two handed" room skylight now changes with the time of day and weather. Supports:
  • Stormy
  • Eclipsed
  • Snowy
  • Snowy eclipsed
• Updated the Apparatus room's pull event

Because of the update there might be a few minor issues here 'n there. I'm 95% sure I got all of them ironed out but do let me know immediately if anything's gone awry!

[lone bramble]

yo thats fire

I just watched the update release in real time

u need to like

make more interiors and stuff since like

ur very skilled and stuff

[odd cargo]

Ah shucks thank you so much

I do have two unique interior ideas in mind, one of which I feel would be a very unique experience

[lone bramble]

im not even just saying that I just want more high quallity interiors loll

[lone bramble]

ooo

im hyped for thbat

[odd cargo]

Heck yeah

[lone bramble]

fr

[odd cargo]

I will say just as a heads up, don't expect it any time soon--I'm a very meticulous worker and I've got other things I need to tend to :(

I do have one bigger update planned for this interior though before I can call it "completed"

[unreal parcel]

take your time man.
We are loving what you've done :]

[odd cargo]

🤍

Thank you so much

[unreal parcel]

soon the LethalResonance mod will have something special if you have this mod installed :]

[odd cargo]

👀 💦

[unreal parcel]

anytime soon (It's not under my control)

[odd cargo]

No worries! I'm excited to give it a shot and see what you all have whipped up

Also now that I've got this update out, I'm going to work on a little tie-in piece for the School Dungeon!

[cyan lantern]

I already showed it here, remember? lol

[unreal parcel]

Yes :]

[odd cargo]

Holy moly Castellum passed 50k downloads

Thank you all so much

[lethal finch]

tis peak

[native harbor]

Much deserved!

[warm owl]

one of the best interiors

def my top 3

[plucky plinth]

very nice

[lime moss]

the bones seem to have some sort of passive illumination for some reason?

[odd cargo]

Do you have a screenshot?

[odd cargo]

I looked through the materials and didn't see anything, but I still want to see an example just to verify

[lime moss]

this specifically happens in the bones, everywhere else is dark as normal

better image probably

[arctic scroll]

Might be one of the materials' settings, I know a couple of those provide a weird shine

[odd cargo]

If I had to guess, it's probably because they're almost pure white. The player "night vision" illuminates them a LOT so its probably that or something of the sort. That or the moon's volume profile causing some weirdness

[odd cargo]

Could the bones being fairly matte be causing that?

[lime moss]

the moon is sector-0

[odd cargo]

These are the materials--the emission is totally black

[arctic scroll]

Hmm, what about the section above that

Can u screenshot that

[odd cargo]

Just your standard, Standard Unity material

[arctic scroll]

My guess would've been the specular stuff but I think that's transparent not opaque materials anyway

[odd cargo]

Yeah

[lime moss]

i think the skylight rooms should become fully dark sometime before midnight instead of exactly at midnight

[arctic scroll]

It probably is just the players light, if you wanna make sure you could test with some sort of free cam or disabling the players light with unity explorer

Wouldn't know what to do other than maybe make it slightly gray

[lime moss]

the modpack has a mod that actually halves the player light

[odd cargo]

I'm going to investigate it really quick on Sector-0

Huh... Well that's odd

It looks like there's something about Sector-0 that messes with the lighting/shadow cut off

Also it appears the outside ambience bleeds into the interior

Yeah it looks like there's something going on here. Let me double check the interior with other levels real quick

Yeah it appears it might be a Sector-0 bug

Imperium's teleport function doesn't seem to work on it either. Unrelated but interesting nonetheless

[odd cargo]

Pseudo-related but man I need to update Railroad Ridge... I feel its missing a lot still

[azure rivet]

Railroad Ridge custom app

https://tenor.com/view/you-didnt-hear-that-from-me-the-fbis-s4e4-i-never-said-that-never-told-you-that-gif-25898498

Joking lol

I rly like the flesh interior btw, so many people I play with haven't seen it so seeing their reactions are hilarious

[odd cargo]

Love to hear it! If you get it recorded I'd love to see how they react

[odd cargo]

You joke, but my friend who made the main Railroad Ridge mesh wants to make a custom interior for it, but they're pretty busy right now

[azure rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-levitating-homer-simpson-levitating-homer-simpson-ascending-homer-simpson-meme-gif-22971083

That would be awesome ;-;

[shut grove]

I have so many ideas I could give him for this

[lethal finch]

wait I'm lost what is railroad ridge?

[harsh mica]

moon

[odd cargo]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/COREsEND/Railroad_Ridge/

A stylized level I made into a moon for a friend

[lethal finch]

ok that's pretty cool I'm ngl

personally I'm already at way too many moons in my modpack so I can't add it but it looks really cool

[odd cargo]

Little teaser for my part of the school interior before I head to work

[harsh mica]

Feels very educational anatomy diagram with the shading here

[warm owl]

@cloud portal school interior real

[cloud portal]

waow

[warm owl]

just thought id ping you because iirc you seemed to like the concept of a school interior but didnt have one that scratched your itch or something so maybe this one can when its done

[plucky plinth]

nice

[crystal dagger]

💙

[lime moss]

how did you do the filter that slowly fades in once you pull the apparatus?

[odd cargo]

I put an enormous trigger (500x100x500) in the Apparatus room that starts with a weight of 0. Once the Apparatus is pulled the weight slowly moves to 1 over the course of a couple of minutes. I used a Channel Mixer and Color Adjustment override for the effect, since those could smoothly transition with the weight changing. Stuff like Color Curves, while it achieved a better effect than I ended up going with, turned on immediately once the weight was above 0

[warm owl]

🤔

[odd cargo]

[unreal parcel]

why is there fake meat on the school interior?

[warm owl]

Fr

[unreal parcel]

completely intrigued, I want to see how you continue cooking

[odd cargo]

The most I can say is its for a collab, so you'll have to stay tuned! Might not release for a little bit though

Probably all I can show off to be honest. That being said, after this I'm going to start prototyping a new loot room I have in mind

[hexed pebble]

dude i SWEAR

https://medal.tv/games/lethal-company/clips/jsT2JxWJKIwLJD0F6?invite=cr-MSxLNlQsMjE3NTIwOTU1LA

lethal company multiplayer is always fun

but the millisecond you go solo it's a horror game

[odd cargo]

Hoh my GOD

That got me good, goodness gracious

[odd cargo]

Adn yeah I've always described the game as a comedy game with people, but horror game when alone

[warm owl]

hes shy dont look at his face ):

[odd cargo]

A big critique I've heard is people looking for scrap in the labyrinth, finding nothing, and getting demoralized from it

I don't want to completely change my vision for the map, but I'm working on a new loot room for the labyrinth to hopefully help mitigate this a little bit

So with that being said, here's a teaser of the new material I made for it. Hope you guys like lots of scar tissue

[cyan lantern]

thats one happy wall

[odd cargo]

oh my god it does look like a face

[cyan lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-joy-little-big-planet-sackboy-gif-27302665

[twilit nebula]

oh yeah, that's where we had most trouble finding stuff

i assume it's cuz there's just not supposed to be much scrap in those tiles?

[odd cargo]

Castellum takes inspiration from both the Factory and the Manor

Gameplay spoilers
||For the flesh area, it's inspired by the factory--designated loot rooms that spawn at the beginning and end of the dungeon generation. For the bone area, it's inspired by the manor--occasional scrap as you traverse but primarily in dead ends and the occasional unique room.||

I'm actually working on a hint picture I'm going to include in a dropdown on the release page

[hexed pebble]

oh yeahhh i was gonna say
i've been testing stuff for the past couple hours and i couldn't really find that much scrap

even if i go to high tier moons like titan

[odd cargo]

Yeah.... Tbh I've been debating on nixing the primary scrap spawns from the bone area

The ||horn rooms on deadends|| is where scrap primarily spawns there

[twilit nebula]

that was my only gripe w this one originally cuz we just had a hard time finding anything

you could circumvent this the easy way and just add extra scrap to the pool when the interior spawns

like how mineshaft does it

[odd cargo]

I actually wanted to do that, but couldn't find where that setting's located, so I figured it was hard coded

[twilit nebula]

it's probably hard coded yeah

[odd cargo]

This is the basic blueprint of the interior based off my original concept sketches

I've been hesitant to put scraps spawns in the labyrinth because I worry it'd devalue the loot rooms, be even harder to find, and they might spawn in the various pillars

[vocal inlet]

only thing the bone labyrinth needs is trimming of the obstructing pillars. loot in it is fine

thas just my opinion tho

[odd cargo]

I did tone down the flesh pillars early on by a smidge, I might look into potentially doing the same for those

[vocal inlet]

woot

[modest walrus]

||suggestion to make the snow moon version of the interior turn way more blueish-purple when you pull the app since the body is no longer alive and providing heat||

[plucky plinth]

||I agree||

[odd cargo]

👀

I really really really dig that idea

I'll experiment with it once I get the new rooms done

[plucky plinth]

I also feel the blizzard should go a little more inside the opening on the hole in the 2handed room (it should also have less light)

[odd cargo]

I do plan on going back and tweaking the lighting in that room a bit

[plucky plinth]

good

[wary linden]

[odd cargo]

Damn I thought I squashed this bug

[odd cargo]

Do you have any mods that adjust the dungeon generation in any way?

I tested it with [relative] base game settings and it generated on Titan just fine

[unreal parcel]

afaik that was a LethalLevelLoader Issue

most prob is that it got fixed in one of the updates

[wary linden]

019479da-d4d8-99b9-5047-e8b94da7e0b1
using LLL 1.4.5

the only mod used
but ye its only a problem after LLL 1.4.0
some number of interior got problems some dont

[odd cargo]

Any chance you can send a profile code so I can test it?

[wary linden]

right here

[odd cargo]

Oh shoot sorry, overlooked it

Aight hang tight

[wary linden]

i alr made change to config so they weight 9900 on all moons ucan just go anywhere

[odd cargo]

Excellent 👌

So with your DevTools mod, it fails

But if it and its Lib are disabled, it loads just fine

I tested it with and without Imperium and it seems to work just fine

Takes a bit to load but that's just Titan

[wary linden]

not my testing mods being the fall of me
thanks for finding out

its kinda funny how i have problem with devtool bac then then imperium works
after that imperium broke things and devtool works again
repeats lol

[odd cargo]

Hahahahaha, a vicious cycle

Yeah for some reason Imperium's bricked on my friend's side but for mine it's totally fine

Debug tools are wack, but God they're great

[odd cargo]

Also you're more than welcome 👌

[odd cargo]

Reusing my waterfall shaders for evil

[twilit nebula]

boogerfall

[odd cargo]

That'd be a lot of snot if it were boogers

[vapid kraken]

what the hell is it then

[next temple]

bile I assume

[willow thicket]

can you walk me thru how you made that shader at some point?

[vernal frigate]

In the mod derange company there’s an enemy that block wherever it spawns and only way to go through is to kill it

[willow thicket]

That mod still works? Lmao

[vernal frigate]

Honestly idk if it still does

And also ment to send a reply but failed

Ngl would love to have it but can’t even be configured

[cyan lantern]

you don't need to reply if its like one message above, needless ping

[odd cargo]

If you'd like I can send you the shader itself! I feel dissecting game assets is a great way of finding stuff out--it's how I learned Shader Forge back in the day before Shader Graph

I do want to release my other shaders for Castellum once I get this update done, but I want to explain certain details though since they're a bit sloppy

[odd cargo]

I have no idea how I could fix that... Are they like stuck in the wall?

[willow thicket]

well I want to do some neat stuff regarding waterfall, but most importantly lava so dipping my toes more into any kind of shader work would definitely help

[odd cargo]

Oooo, sure thing! I'll hit you up in DMs

[vernal frigate]

Well idk if that mod can fix but was going to reply of what to add
Potentially
But it’s basically just a monster that blocks and area (they full on cover the hallway) it starts off huge and when you hit the monster it shrinks (forgot how many hits it took)

Tho iirc it deals damage if you walk into it

[signal herald]

how do i configure this mod

nevermind i think i found it in LLL

[native harbor]

👀

[odd cargo]

👀❗

[orchid valve]

Same result both with Celest in the list and without

I just noticed that i can't even sim celestria, it simulates Celest

[orchid valve]

Writing it as 9-Celestria:99999 didnt help

[hexed pebble]

That’s not an interior issue

That’s a problem with the moon names themselvrs being too close

Download TerminalConflictFix and try it again

[orchid valve]

i have it actually

[orchid valve]

I know but this was the first thread that came to my mind and I figured maybe they would know

[hexed pebble]

Idk what to do there then

[orchid valve]

I hoped this would work

[hexed pebble]

But castellum isn’t the problem here

[orchid valve]

Not a huge problem, I will just not use Celest for now. It was just an extra moon for Storage Complex interior

and sneaky beartraps 😁

[odd cargo]

Don't really know how to hold a proper poll in here so I'll do it through emoji ratings. I've got one new room basically finished, but the other I've been trying to model out a look I'm happy with. Would you all rather have the new room now, or wait until the second room is done? I have a patch I can push to fix a couple of minor issues should the latter win
1️⃣ Release the new room now
2️⃣ Wait for the the second room to be finished

Also sorry for the absence been hit with a bit of burnout

[plucky plinth]

its okay

[unreal parcel]

no issues.
Your interior is amazing

[true kiln]

If it doesn't already, could I request for this interior to have the Bloody content tag?

[wild epoch]

i mean it aint that bloody

since its just flesh no blood

but yes it should anyways just tryna be a smartass

[odd cargo]

Sure thing! I'll add a couple other related tags for the next patch as well

[odd cargo]

I meeeaaaaannn the loot rooms do have a lot of blood pooling in them

[wild epoch]

uhh red unfiltered water with hemoglobine

[obtuse folio]

that's just kool-aid

drink it it's good for you

[half crystal]

On what moons do you guys put this interior on?
I really want to try it but I don't know any moons that fits

[wild epoch]

all of em

would be cool if someone could make gordion a level which houses this interior

so you would be walking inside the company monster

[half crystal]

The only one I know is Sector-0 but that one has its own interior

[gritty dew]

tbh this is a better sect 0 interior than that one lol

that one is D tier at best

im sorry rosie

XD

[half crystal]

Never actually went to sector 0 so idk

[gritty dew]

it prob has a lil more now but this is pretty much it

these screenshots are a little outdated

[half crystal]

Thanks, might change Sector-0's interior for Carnis then

[wild epoch]

Yeah exactly I just don't use it because of the interior

[jagged vector]

I like to put it on:
-Any unnatural horror themed moons, like Gloom, Atlas Abyss etc, just as a chance
-Similarly, a low chance on something like a mansion moon can always make it very surprising and disturbing when it does pop up. Like a very low chance on Solace
-Derelict, since its a interdimensional scrapyard, full of random stuff, it makes sense inside/underneath could be literally anything
-Gorgonzola, as if its the inside of a giant beast or infestation eating through the cheese. Its all kinda squishy and biological. Asteroid-14/Hyve or whatever its called now is also like that and can work

[rich chasm]

also ||Utril|| from the new wesley's moons

[jagged vector]

Ooo i've not seen yet

[rich chasm]

it's perfect for this i'd say

[odd cargo]

About to drop the update to 1.0.5--the patch notes are a bit messy but I typed them in as I made the changes

• Added a blueprint and advice to the mod description for those who struggle with finding scrap
• Fixed the minimap hiders for the "void" room
• Tweaked one of the sounds in the "void" room
• Added +1 light spawn as preparation for an upcoming room
• Adjusted some lighting and animation speed in the "two handed" room to better match their respective weather
• Moved the scrap spawn in the "horn" rooms a smidge closer to its entrance
• Added content tags "Bloody, Flesh, Living, Organic"
• Reduced the "spiral" hallway's weight for the start of the dungeon (0.75 → 0.55)
• Adjusted the bone archetype's branch lengths (2:4 → 2:3)
• Added minimap arrows for the "spiral" hallways to designate its vertical nature from similar tiles
• Added minimap hiders for the "spiral" hallway
• Darkened the bone texture for better scrap visibility on the ship minimap
  • Does not affect rooms that use the bone texture for detailing
• Updated the "flesh to bone" tile with more detailing to better match its concept
• Slightly increased the chance of the "nasal cavity" room to extend
• Added minimap hiders for the "nasal cavity" room
• Fixed the mouth vents' color on the minimap
• Fixed the "lung forest" room requiring you to jump to exit if you have too much weight
• Added a scrap spawn to the pit version of the flesh "crossroads" room and the entrance room
• Adjusted the various light fade distances to further improve optimization

"Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of how this interior makes me feel on the inside."
 - Call_Me_Bread

Something I wanted to improve with this was scrap density since that's a common complaint, but I didn't want to totally nix my vision for how they spawn throughout the interior. The upcoming rooms will help this further but for the mean time I'm hoping the two new scrap spawns, and reducing the max branch lengths for the bone area by 1 will help with this a bit. For those who want more help, the cheat sheet in the description will help guide you a bit.

[willow thicket]

Hoooly

[odd cargo]

Also one of the bigger changes is the bone texture. I used the Mapper tool to test the socket hiders but never realized how badly the scrap triangles blended in if you were using the ship minimap. (me and my main crew haven't been able to playtest it since early December) I only darkened it a bit, but its just enough to help make scrap more visible, and it makes the archetype far moodier

The patch notes are really long but they're all mostly little things I've been wanting to fix lol

[unreal parcel]

yay

[odd cargo]

The next things I want to add are some more labyrinth details, to spice up the entrance room a bit, and to make the eyeball and throat rooms also have matching weather lights. Besides the new rooms of course

[native harbor]

🫡

[lone bramble]

bruh ofc a giant update comes out legit 2 hours after I make my modpacks mods unupdateable (long story)

u should like

go back in time and release the mod 4 hours ago

grrr

jk obvs tho lol fire mod

[odd cargo]

Hahaha no worries! Despite the patch notes being long it's mostly a bunch of small fixes I've been meaning to get to so you're not missing much. Glad you like the mod!

[lime moss]

i think this is the only interior that actually has the minimap hiders, other than vanilla

[arctic scroll]

Minimap hiders?

[lime moss]

black planes on the mapradar layer that hide geometry past blockers

[inner mauve]

I use those all the time

[odd cargo]

Yeah they're crazy good to have to help with navigation. I like to add them to pillars and other geometry to really help those who prefer being the man in the chair to decern what they're looking at. The lung trees, meat pillars, and bone struts are the best examples I have

I added a gradient one to the spiral room that I think really helps with it

[stone sequoia]

Original sector interior was peak, the files got lost and it went to pretty mid, then it got reworked to the current iteration that's got some interesting ideas but imo is always too dark.

(Also oof why was I scrolled too far up thanks discord?)

[gritty dew]

I prefer sect v2 to v1

v3 tho

[odd cargo]

I haven't properly played Sector-0 in a hot minute. I remember really enjoying the OG interior despite the FPS issues though

[still plover]

it feels kinda empty imo

[unreal parcel]

My tier is

1. Sect v2
2. Sect v3
3. Sect v1

v1 didn't fit for me
v3 is the most stable but kinda laggy
v2 was "almost" perfect

[gritty dew]

did v3 add anything major since launch bc I havent tried it in ages

so maybe its better than im thinking

[unreal parcel]

It's just acceptable, at least for me

I mean, If the lag in Sector-0 can be fixed, I have no problem keeping this interior.

[lime moss]

mine is
v1
v3
v2

[normal viper]

@odd cargo could you add support for https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/x753/Mimics/

[lime moss]

not possible with how castellum carnis has fire exits set up

[odd cargo]

I would like to make it compatible even though I'm not the biggest fan of the mod, but I think Autumnis is right, I don't think I could properly add support without remodeling all the labyrinth tile caps

Unless it uses stencils 🤔

[crystal dagger]

thats depressing :c

BUT it's also Far better than anything i could do! lol

[odd cargo]

Inside of us all are two wolves. One wishes to share as many WIPs as possible, and the other wants to keep everything under wraps until it's done. This is to satiate both a bit

[unreal parcel]

looks amazing

[odd cargo]

Thank you! I'm really excited with how this second room is turning out. It's definitely been the most complex to get set up with its various sockets but I think it'll pay off

[lavish ruin]

will you add any stingers to this?

[odd cargo]

Wait does it not play? I have one selected

[lavish ruin]

there already is one?

if its possible, could you add a config with option for it to always play?

[odd cargo]

I have no coding experience so I can't control anything outside of LLL's default config generation. I figured assigning it there would have it work like the vanilla ones

[dense rock]

Might have to do custom stuff

Unsure how LLL handles stingers since they got hardcoded in v60

[untold cobalt]

So stingers basically don't work at all with the vanilla functionality because Zeekerss effectively hardcoded them to play one time, EVER

amongst other things

My recommendation would be to just set up a trigger at the entrance with a random chance to play a stinger when you enter the first time, and then disable it after the random chance is rolled

That's how Wesley and I do it

[odd cargo]

Ooohhh, sounds good! I'll see about experimenting with it--what % do you personally prefer?

[lime moss]

what does the stinger sound like?

[odd cargo]

It's a placeholder until I can wrangle my musicly inclined friend

[unreal parcel]

peak stinger

[odd cargo]

Hell yeah 👌

[upbeat jasper]

ooh we're talking stingers?? Nothing beats the stinger for my upcoming project y'all got nothing on me

[cyan lantern]

oh boy

[odd cargo]

Oh man that RULES

I'm hyped to see what you've got cooking up 👀

[upbeat jasper]

Btw that was all in jest too, Castellum Carnis is fantastic and the stinger you have sounds great, curious to see what you'll have after the place holder

[odd cargo]

Oh no worries, I didn't take it as a slight at all, and thank you so much. I definitely want something similar sounding to that (since I greatly associate this interior with flash Isaac's Womb chapter), but just more in line with Lethal's deep piano sounds

[serene vector]

[ruby scroll]

Anyone else experiencing too little loot density in this interior?

[sonic sleet]

The interior has specific "loot spots" where items spawn, they don't spawn just anywhere

see the thunder store page for more info (under Can't Find Scraps)

[ruby scroll]

Ik.. but it feels a lil too little anyway

[sonic sleet]

I don't have the issue but in my modpack it's paired with a very hard moon haha

Might be an issue when paired with easy moons

[rich chasm]

i got this interior multiple time on different moons and never had any scrap problems

[odd cargo]

If you want to optimize looking for scrap, ||check the main entrance and explore the fire exit for loot rooms. Afterwards, explore the bone area thoroughly to find the remaining ones||

[lyric sorrel]

I find I have a surplus of scrap in this interior

But I might just be used to LC office rates

Either way I don’t mind it, I think the scrap rates/positions are perfect on this interior

[untold cobalt]

I think I did like 17%, so like 1/6? I don't fully remember tbh

[jagged vector]

I am not sure if the Bloody tag works properly, for Atlantica its supposed to change the moon to Redlantica but it doesn't apply for this interior
The Slaughterhouse interior has the tag and it works fine
#1204432295025578014 message

Perhaps a typo or something with the tag (?)

[odd cargo]

I thought I set it up correctly... Is this right?

[jagged vector]

Erm
@untold cobalt ?

is that the same as Slaughterhouse?

[untold cobalt]

Should be

Also @odd cargo I need to DM you about something

[odd cargo]

That's super weird... I'll try messing around and see if there's anything else wrong

The new rooms are just about done so I might be able to push the update soonish™️

[odd cargo]

Sure thing

[odd cargo]

I like how a single capital letter can totally nuke an aspect of gameplay

As soon as the changelog's out you all will realize in hindsight what was busted all this time. I just had to make a note of it here because it's so dang silly

[lyric sorrel]

I’m hyped

[twilit nebula]

oh god LMAO

I can't wait gaaaah

[lime moss]

when's the update? waiting for the bloody interior tag to work...

[odd cargo]

Sorry I've been busy with some IRL stuff lately. The update should be out soon--I've had some weird bugs I've been trying to squash that actually impact gameplay in a pretty impactful way (unable to grab items if dropped in certain places and enemies walking through specific walls)

Admittedly I have been playing some Ultrakill too since the Ultra Revamp's out oops

[unreal parcel]

peak update :]

[lavish ruin]

found out revisitstingers works with this now

[vapid marsh]

Castellum Carnis Flesh Revamp

[odd cargo]

IT'S SO GOOD! I adore the subtle changes they made to Violence, especially the very end of 7-4. Adding King Gizzard to the Cybergrind also gives a natural stat boost I swear

[odd cargo]

Oh shoot really? I tried experimenting with it recently and couldn't get it to work... I'll make a note of this and try again

[odd cargo]

I wish I had the shader knowledge the Ultradevs have. Revamped Gluttony looks wicked

[lavish ruin]

you need to go to its config and set the chances

[azure rivet]

Hey, I think this is the right log but the fire exit didn't work when this was the itnerior\

I went to the fire exit from the outside and it said it was blocked

[odd cargo]

I tried that a while back and didn't have any luck. I'll try again soon

[odd cargo]

Yeah I recently encountered this myself. There's a REALLY low chance for it to happen but 99% of the time it'll generate the amount of fire exits needed. I'm gonna add one new labyrinth room to fix this in the coming update

[azure rivet]

Thanks! Also, awesome interior!

[odd cargo]

You're most welcome! And thank you! I'm really glad you like it

[odd cargo]

Found the error with the tags

-# I don't wanna talk about it

[lavish ruin]

has anyone gotten this weird bug before? (the red cube is main entrance)

posting it here just in case it might be from the interior

i can only see that when im in the room with the ramp and ladder

[lavish ruin]

after playing more, this red visual only appeared with castellum and no other interior

leftover debugging stuff maybe?

(it also appears outside and highlights fire entrances)

[lime moss]

you gotta talk about it now...what was it...

[odd cargo]

Any chance I could see your mod list? There shouldn't be anything in the interior that's visible through walls except for an arrow texture in the spiral room (only on cams)

[odd cargo]

-# I don't wanna talk about it....

But I will admit that this stupid tickbox has given me more strife than I'd like

[lavish ruin]

actually wait

i think at the time i was using lethal sponge which is mod that changes a ton of rendering stuff

and the mod is still in its early stages so it might be that

[jagged vector]

Personally, i am quite a big fan of the interior
But alot of people i play with dislike it due to the loot distribution, even with the size cutdown
As they describe, they find it tricky to locate the loot rooms, and there is many many dead-ends. Going down a long-ish path and then often not having anything at the end is quite annoying
I think a simple fix would be to have it to have bonus scrap spawns like the Mineshaft does
Both interiors concentrate the loot into certain regions so i think it'd make sense
Besides that, i could try adjusting the scale more to be even smaller in LLL or something

[odd cargo]

Sorry I haven't had the chance to look into this yet! Been grinding away to try and get this update ready outside of being tired from work. I'll try to get to it soon

[odd cargo]

Really glad to hear you like it! And yeah that's a problem I'm trying to balance with this new update. I'm looking into potentially redoing the corner rooms to make checking deadends less frustrating.

I haven't updated LLL in a while, but does it support for adding extra scrap spawns to an interior? I've looked into it before and couldn't find anything in regards to it so I figured it was hardcoded for the Mineshaft

[lime moss]

yeah it's hardcoded for mineshaft i'm pretty sure

[jagged vector]

Not that i know of yeah

[lime moss]

as far as i know LLL does not have a feature for it

[odd cargo]

Hmmm...

I could maybe try and add a global prop spawner that forces scrap spawns

[twilit nebula]

would be kinda sick honestly

[odd cargo]

Heck yeah. Let me see if I can get that implemented before work tonight

[odd cargo]

Oh yeah, we in there

It's a little jank so they don't show up on the scan until after the ship properly lands, but it works!

[vocal inlet]

[lavish ruin]

i actually figured out what mod caused that so no need

its not a bug or anything

[odd cargo]

Ah okay, glad to hear you got it all sorted!

[lime moss]

since these are just guaranteed scrap spawners wouldn't that guarantee this amount of scrap generates every time the tile does, and thus make scrap maybe too common?

[odd cargo]

Oh no no that's not how it works at all! Sorry I got a lil overenthusiastic and dropped that there without any context, hahahah

Basically I now have a setup that mimics the Mineshaft's +6 extra scrap spawns

This room was empty initially (Experimentation moment) and once the ship touched down, all these scrap here showed up. I installed the setup for this room only so I could watch and make sure it worked

[jagged vector]

Nice! i think thats pretty solid
I suppose a way to future proof it would be to make the extra amount configurable
Then anyone who doesnt want extra or still feels it needs more can mess with it
Personally, i am fine with the +6

[odd cargo]

I'll try and experiment with it! I recently discovered JLL's config setup so I've been experimenting with it--not sure if I can modify a global prop value with it but I'll see what I can manage

[odd cargo]

So after a rigorous few hours of network testing and debugging it seems like Loadstone's going to be a requirement for the new update

The vanilla interior generation lags so bad it desyncs one of the new rooms

I owe gothgutts a sandwich for how much she helped with testing

[modest walrus]

woohoo

[odd cargo]

Castellum Carnis has been updated to 1.1.0 !

• Added two new flesh loot rooms
  • Reduced the interior's max size due to the scale and chance of these rooms (15:18 → 13:16)
  • Made Loadstone a dependency to prevent a new room from desyncing during generation
• An irritant has produced ||███████||
• Added a new flesh labyrinth room to guarantee at least two fire exit spawns
• Added 6 extra scrap spawns similar to the Mineshaft
• Fixed "Landmines" (not "LandMines") not spawning in the interior
• Improved the smoothing on the spawner mouths to [slightly] blend in better with the walls
• Added a few configs
  • Employee corpses
  • Skylights changing with weather and time of day
  • Entrance stingers
  • Droplet particles
  • Six extra scrap spawns
• Fixed the content tags
• Updated the shader for the bioluminescent lights
• Updated the flesh "crossroads" room's breathing animation
• Updated the "eye" and flesh "crossroads" rooms' skylights to match the weather like the "two handed" room
• Fixed the 'grass' of the "eye" room covering scrap icons

[lime moss]

castellum carnis has a weight for liquidation??

[azure rivet]

LET'S GOOO UPDATEEEEEE

https://tenor.com/view/snoop-dogg-dancing-fun-funny-dance-dance-moves-gif-14258762652436410765

[lime moss]

||does the new room with the terrain have variants for any non-vanilla moons?||

[azure rivet]

Wait it says in the update spawns a labrinth garunteeing at least two fire exits. What happens if I'm on a moon that has 3-4 fire exits? Will two labrinths spawn to make up for it?

[odd cargo]

Yes! For future proofing

[odd cargo]

||Sort of. It has one for most vanilla tags, including one that you can't normally get if you catch my drift||

||The room was a massive undertaking so I didn't branch out too much||

[lime moss]

||do you have a list of tags that it supports?||

[odd cargo]

It's moreso potential fire exit spawns. I tried the interior on Railroad Ridge and a third fire exit didn't spawn. Basically this new room gives the opportunity for at least two to spawn as a "just in case" failsafe

[azure rivet]

So there's a chance for fire exits to not work if the moon has a lot?

[odd cargo]

||Grassy, Canyon, Tundra, Wasteland, Amethyst, Marsh, and Company. They also cover slight variants like snowy, winter, and ice for the Tundra, for example||

[odd cargo]

Ideally not anymore lol

[lime moss]

||what does the amethyst terrain look like? i tried loading it on embrion but i saw the regular random terrain (i think LLL's amethyst tag for embrion is mispelled, that might be why it didn't appear).||
||and what does the company terrain look like?||

[odd cargo]

||Pretty simple--rocky look with purple fog. I covered a bunch of potential misspelling of "Amethyst" mainly with the e and y letters so I think it might be bugged or something||

||The latter makes only the two rare terrains show up, those I don't want to spoil ||

[dense rock]

||Amythest? 777||

oh wait

[odd cargo]

||Yeah, for Embrion and custom moons that are styled after it||

[dense rock]

||Oh no that's just how I think LLL has the tag spelled loll||

[lime moss]

||they don't seem that common on company moons? loaded up sector-0 with castellum carnis like 10 times, only saw the ||||gold|||| terrain twice. (would it be possible to make that terrain appear guaranteed on empra from wesley's moons? i think it'd fit well) every other time it was just generic flesh. also, the other terrain is very cool (unless you don't count the little hole above the room as terrain, in which case i haven't seen both of the rare terrains).||

[dense rock]

I

||I don't think Embrion even has the Amethyst tag lol||

||[Info :LethalLevelLoader] ContentName: Embrion | Content Tags: Paid, Rocky||

[lime moss]

very cool lethallevelloader

[twilit nebula]

||the mispellings have been there for a while yeah hahaha, I've just gotten used to calling it "amythest" all the time||

[dense rock]

yeah it doesn't even have the Amethyst tag (spelled right or not) 😭

[odd cargo]

Dang... Well hey at least it should work for custom moons. ||The full list of tags for that variant are "Amythyst, Amethyst, Amethest, Amythest, Crystal, and Gem"||

[odd cargo]

||The ceiling is randomized between 4 different variations. I thought about making a unique tag for that variant, but I prefer it be tied to that tag or getting it as a really rare occurrence to stay parallel with Lethal lore.||

[lime moss]

||so it does count as the second rare terrain?||

[odd cargo]

|| Yes ||

[wintry axle]

What scrap spawns were added?

(In the most recent update)

Is it just more scrap spawns with the interior?

[odd cargo]

The interior now force spawns 6 extra scrap, like the Mineshaft does. This can be disabled in the config though

[twilit nebula]

I loooove the change man, I find it helps the interior a ton

I also found the appy room for the first time

so fucking cool

[vocal inlet]

unique appy when .3.

talkin 255,0,0 in terms of RGB.
"Plasma Apparatus" (since "Bloody" is already taken)

... got a little excited. apologies, and great update ^^

[inner mauve]

Hemoglatus

[azure rivet]

Hemoglatus is actually perfect lmao

[lime moss]

i think the vanilla apparatus is fine with this

not every single interior needs a unique one

[azure rivet]

True but like Hemoglatus, that's frickin genius!

[twilit nebula]

yeah

[lime moss]

if it does get one i hope it can be disabled...

[odd cargo]

Really glad to hear it! Hopefully this all should sort out the scrap issues people have been having

As for the unique Apparatus, I'm still on the fence about it. If I were to make it I would make a config toggle between the vanilla one and the custom one

[azure rivet]

||the room with the green light actually made me say woah how cool it looked||

[odd cargo]

Heck yeah, love to hear it dude!

[sour sapphire]

Finally got to try this interior with my group today. Was NOT mentally prepared ITPing into what felt like a heart. Great great work, our group loves it.

[sonic sleet]

Love that interior! But I've always been afraid of loadstone. Anything I should know to configure it? Known incompatibility or quirks?

[lavish ruin]

no

loadstones fine

[lime moss]

messes with the lighting of the Art Gallery from wesley's interiors i think

[vocal inlet]

for some reason

[covert finch]

Today I played the updated interior, only saw one new room (the acid one) but I like it a lot!
There's something I heard while exploring, I don't know if it's a mod-specific ambiance or a vanilla one I never heard before, but it sounded like a yelping dog or something. Spooked me a lot.

[odd cargo]

Hahahaha, the sound effects always catch people off guard! Good sound design goes a long way. Really glad to hear you all love it! 🤍

[odd cargo]

Loadstone should be just fine. Me and my crew haven't had any issues with it. You can play the interior without it, but the new terrain room will desync its navmesh and spawn a LOT of scrap when it shouldn't. Moons with no content tags should theoretically be safe from this though

[odd cargo]

Love to hear it! 🤍 The interior does have some rare ambience scattered throughout and if you've got a keen eye you might even spot where it comes from

[covert finch]

I see, that's neat!

Also, gotta say, I love the sheer diversity of looks this interior has.

I think my favourite rooms are... I think these are the naval cavities? The ones with the purple-pinkish, bulbous things.
Sadly didn't encounter them on my recent runs but I love how alien they are.

[odd cargo]

Thank you so much! And heh, that room is a fun one even if its a bit more on the uncommon side.

A good friend of mine related it to the "blue fire" texture from the original Doom

[covert finch]

Oooh!

Does look a bit like it!

The bulbous room with those """trees"'"-like thingies makes me uncomfortable in a good way. As in it looks alien but also so endearing. Come to think of it it's indeed uncommon, I haven't seen it in a while.

From experience they only spawn to break up two bone tunnels from touching each other, never seen any by the flesh tunnels.

[odd cargo]

Oh yeah! I call that one the "lung forest" and was one of the few rooms I had a very clear vision of when I first conceived the interior. It was originally going to be WAY bigger but I was reeled back from scope creep lol

I'm really glad to hear you like that one despite making you uncomfortable, hahahaha

[lime moss]

you could theoretically make it be way bigger now..

[odd cargo]

Potentially, but to be honest I'm not sure how fun it'd be to actually play since it was almost its own archetype it was going to be so big

[lime moss]

ah

[arctic scroll]

not big enough

[odd cargo]

Better?
