Reale Studios' LethalExpansion Ports (Vulcan-9, Ether, Skytops, IO-Volcano)

[valid basin]

amen.

[molten shard]

Hey everyone; I saw somebody was having problems generating certain interiors on the latest Ether version. In case anyone is having problems or just prefers the standard LC interior generation, I made a separate version of Ether that generates only a single interior with two fire exits, as it used to. I haven't yet split my project files into two versions, but I intend to maintain both versions and add the same QOL improvements to both when relevant.

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/RealeStudios/EtherSingleInterior/

[valid basin]

did you remove a fire exit from Ether btw? I thought there was 3 fire exits before the 3 interior version? please tell me im not crazy, haha.

also, not for our benefit, but perhaps for yours, is there no way to add a config for toggling 1 or 3 interiors? (or perhaps for example.. forcing interior 1 as main entrance, and allowing the fire exits to either, "use main entrance interior" or "choose extra interior"?

i know you didnt write the code for the selecting interiors/etc, just more ideas ((for interior selection as a whole)..but also.... hopefully if you have a single interior version and a treble interior version, hopefully its not more effort maintaining both (ie, having to make changes to both), because if its more effort, being able to just have a config for toggling single/treble on/off would mean you only need to maintain one, and give people the opportunity to disable the treble interior if they dont want it (or if its failing for them)

[molten shard]

No I actually was thinking about adding a third one but there's always been two!

I'm sure there's a way to do it but I haven't really grasped how to make config options for moons. It's probably as simple as making a check box to enable and disable a few things. Maybe I can talk to NotezyTeam about stuff like that. I haven't made many changes to Ether since I took over, so I don't expect maintaining both to be too difficult. The most I see myself doing any time soon is recompiling against a new LC version, should one come out, and they'd be in the same project, so that would be easy.

It would definitely be ideal to figure out a config option. I don't like having to split things up like that, but it seemed like the best option in the meantime

[valid basin]

from my pov it would just be a normal config option in your own seperate config for the moon, (ie not something going in the LLL config), then the rest would just be how that config affects whatever controls the interior spawning. but yeah just figured id mention cause duplicate work sounds like hell!

[molten shard]

Right that's how I see it too, just gotta figure out how to actually go about that. I don't remember exactly how I set it up, so it might be a config that just disables a few scene objects. I tried just disabling NotezyLib before firing up the game but that turned the main entrance into a fire exit somehow lol. I also started a new job recently and just don't have the time that I used to to work on stuff like this sadly

[valid basin]

🤣 thats fair.

and yeah i feel that with the job stuff, gl with the new job 🙂

[frigid totem]

It's still cool that you collabed with notzey and basically upgraded the moon.

This is awesome.

[slender bane]

Great usage of it since I think that was their initial plan with Ether, just had to take some creative measures about it

[molten shard]

Very late reply but the job is going better than I thought it would lol, thanks! I'm not exactly working in my field of expertise, so it's been an interesting experience lmao

Thanks everyone! Notezy is seriously pushing the boundaries of what can be done to this game through mods, and the library they made to add this functionality is stupidly simple to set up. Very impressive stuff and I'm thrilled to be able to use it

Seems if you use the v73 patch for LLL, Ether still works with the new generation, according to Notezy. Haven't gotten my modpack running at all on v73 so I haven't tested it myself

[valid basin]

i knew that feeling when i started my current job x.x now i feel right at home and in charge (i mean, knowing what i need to do :P), but when i started i was so lost after being at my old job for 10+ years x.x

[molten shard]

Damn yeah that must have been hard. I've never even been at a job for that long lol. Longest I stuck in one place was 3 years. Haven't found my career yet

I'm working at a car dealership in the parts department now and I don't know shit about cars lmao. Definitely a fake it till you make it situation but I think I'm getting to the make it part. I still have a lot to learn, but its paying the bills. Hopefully one day I can break into tech in some capacity

[valid basin]

i mean tbh, i think at any new job, unless your super confident and 1000% know your stuff, its always (feels like) fake it til you make it.

taken me a year to adapt from what i was used to before, to what I have now, and every second of every day for the first 8 months, I was questioning if im doing the right thing... and its only in the last 2 months i realised i was making the right choices for getting my work done xD

[frigid totem]

What kind of tech?

[sharp plaza]

Hello!! Just wanted to know if you were still interested in porting Kastra to LLL?

[molten shard]

Yes! Haven't cracked open my projects in a while but it's on my to-do list

[sharp plaza]

hell yeah

hope all is well in terms of irl

and take all the time you need!

[molten shard]

Yeah all is going pretty well thanks! I'll share progress here when I start working on Kastra, likely soon

[vernal vector]

hey man once you get back to some progress, please fix the ground texture on vulcan its bugging me so much XD

they are way too big compared to how they are in the og

or at least it seems thats it

they are way more zoomed in

tho that issue was in the last LE version I had tested back in theday

so it seems the og dev broke it and that carried over

[sharp plaza]

that'd be a tiling issue most likely

[vernal vector]

hope its fixed bc even tho its not a massive deal

it just doesnt look as nice

[sharp plaza]

yeah def

it should be as easy as checking the terrain layer and tweaking a number or two

[vernal vector]

hope so 🙏

[molten shard]

Don't remember for sure but I think it was an optimization thing. Compressing the texture caused the file size to go way down. Happy to bump it back up if higher file size is an acceptable trade off! It's been a while since I looked at it. Might check it out tonight

[vernal vector]

nice, also nice to see you still around :p

[sharp plaza]

are you sure you're compressing the texture and not doing something else?

changing compression settings doesn't usually have much of an impact on the actual texture

[molten shard]

Popping in once in a while! Been playing more REPO than LC but now my REPO modpack is broken so I'm looking at LC again lol

[molten shard]

Can't really remember to be honest. I'll have to crack open the project to see. I think it was just compressing that made it look that way

[vernal vector]

REPO is fine but never appealed to me

at least it gamepley is legit different from LC

so it has its own niche

[molten shard]

I was averse to it after the first few rounds but it grew on me significantly. A handful of mods helped make it smoother. I felt like the game was mostly waiting around while dead, but the death hopper and dead TTS mods make it feel much less lonely when you're dead lol

Yeah definitely very different from LC

It's fun in its own right, and we played LC to death so my crew is taking a much needed break. I'd love to get back into LC though. I miss it

[sharp plaza]

yee i came back to repo recently cuz of the new enemies

[sharp plaza]

oh you may like the new update then

[vernal vector]

I think my main thing is I dont really want another scrap collecting mp horror, if I want another mp horror I want a new objective

[sharp plaza]

they made it so you can possess your dead body if you wait around for a bit

lets you jump around a little bit and speak in a distorted voice

[sharp plaza]

honestly yeah

[deep jolt]

outlast trials:

https://tenor.com/view/rigby-cat-gif-14798873365048305742

[sharp plaza]

ngl the one trial I did play barely felt like a horror game

[deep jolt]

you played it? :0

[sharp plaza]

felt more action than anything

yeah I played w kenji and mrov

[sharp plaza]

the tutorial was scarier

[deep jolt]

i would argue both games are horror in their own ways

[sharp plaza]

but maybe its cuz it was the first trial or smth idk

[deep jolt]

every game gets less scary when playing mp

i would argue trials is scarier than LC in mp

[sharp plaza]

lc is exclusively MP and it was scarier

but again I only played one trial

[deep jolt]

also you are the second person ive seen that says its action

[sharp plaza]

so

[deep jolt]

nah one trial is enough to know how it is

specially the first one

[sharp plaza]

legit i couldn't walk by myself the first few sessions I played of lethal

shit was too dark and scary

[vernal vector]

I really enjoyed phasmophobia until the game's devs progress stagnated to a crawl

and banning modding from ever being a thing

[deep jolt]

maybe you have dissensitized yourself

i had the same feeling when first playing

[sharp plaza]

nah im still a bitch

[deep jolt]

and i still get it wen playing solo

but online is a completely different story

[sharp plaza]

i played beta minecraft a few days ago and couldn't bring myself to go into a cave

and it was fucking minecraft

que

[deep jolt]

also, outlast horror is different hehe

[sharp plaza]

im definitely not discensitized to horror

[deep jolt]

much more chase focus

if chases dont scare you, the game will not scare you

idk i still piss my pants when playing trials tbh

[sharp plaza]

chases are what scares me the most

[deep jolt]

then idk what you played

xD

[sharp plaza]

when im by myself at home I sometimes just imagine some big scary thing coming out of an empty room and chasing me at mach 5

and i scare myself

Diavolo

[vernal vector]

I LOVED forwarned, maybe youd like it haha

https://tenor.com/view/forewarned-dekan-dekan-the-lost-attacked-killed-gif-24787648

[sharp plaza]

the one where you execute a guy

[deep jolt]

XD

the entire game:

[sharp plaza]

oh lmao

right, i guess

uuuh

[deep jolt]

xD

[sharp plaza]

the one w the electric chair

[deep jolt]

nah i know which one yeah

thats the first one

i meant it more like, if chases are what scares you the most, how did you not get scared

[sharp plaza]

maybe cuz the cop was slow asf

not sure

[deep jolt]

the game is literally just that

[deep jolt]

that would be difficulty then

what difficulty did yall play?

[sharp plaza]

like he walked towards me

and i just threw bricks at him

[deep jolt]

i feel psycosurgery is 100% the only way when playing with more people

[deep jolt]

yeah, if its not on hardest difficulty he kinda just walks

and also his AI is kinda messy

even on hardest difficulty he kinda weird and doesnt really chase sometimes, the other enemies are a bit more crazy hehe

do you know what difficulty you played?

[sharp plaza]

no idea

@old ice @vagrant anvil what difficulty did we play that one trial on

[old ice]

since you were starting probably introductory or standard

i think standard

[deep jolt]

yeah standard is pretty chill

for a first time is fine hehe

also, when am i getting an invite hehe joke
-# unless

[sharp plaza]

they play at a horrible time for you and me

between when I get home and when I go eat

[molten shard]

New update is great! Can't wait for REPOLib to be updated. I miss the mods so much lol

[empty tiger]

I think Crit moved on along with most of the mod devs

Dunno if it will update

[molten shard]

I made myself the dedicated ship guy because I was too chickenshit when we started playing. I got much more confident after we got the buyable shotgun mod lmao

Seems like progress is being made on REPOLib, He put out a version in the discord thread for people to build their mods against. Should be done pretty soon by the looks of it

[deep jolt]

sad, tho if possible i would love to join if its not a problem

[sharp plaza]

i never modded repo personally but I feel you lol

felt like that w lethal for like two weeks

[molten shard]

My repo modpack is much more modest than my LC modpack. Tried to keep vanilla feel this time but just make the game a little bit less punishing. Some of them I feel are essential, like the Extraction Point Confirm Button

[molten shard]

I could've sworn compression settings made them look like shit but I seem to have been mistaken. Upping the tiling makes it look better to me in the editor. Still gotta test it in game. I know the lighting is pretty off here compared to the picture but how does this look to you?

[vernal vector]

omg the left looks so much better

[sharp plaza]

thats kinda how I keep my lethal packs lol

[molten shard]

Let me build and test it and if all is well I'll throw it on the Thunderstore

[sharp plaza]

extraction point confirm sounds mad good, but I do like the fact you gotta juggle a bit when selling

[vernal vector]

mine is using as much as I can while still being stable lol

this did NOT work in the classic days lol

shit is so much more stable nowadays

enough to have this

[molten shard]

Good point lol it is kind of thrilling without it. I'm just so accustomed to having the button now it's hard to go back

[empty tiger]

I had close to that but my pack dropped size cus I'm trying to get rid of unoptimized mods

[vernal vector]

I think ive mostly optimized it but will be doing more extensive testing soon since I remade this pack for v73

[molten shard]

Holy shit lmao I've been trying to keep things below 200 but it's gotten pretty damn close a few times. My computer can handle it but my fiance's laptop apparently ran too hot when it got close to 200 mods so I had to slim it down a bit

[vernal vector]

also will prob ditch some enemies if we end up not liking them

[sharp plaza]

fair fair

out of any QoL features it is a really good one

[vernal vector]

number is a lil bloated bc I have moon packs single mods so I dont have the ones I dont want not installed

like I have most of tolians moons

but not the non updates ones

so no nimbis, crystalum, Celestria

tho hes overhauling nimbus soon

so I just have over 15 of his single uploads of his moons

[molten shard]

How are the Tolian moons these days? Always loved the designs but a lot of them had weird issues for me. I remember falling through the map on one of them, and then on another one the game would crash if you fell into a lava pit or something. Don't remember which ones they were

[vernal vector]

most of them have been polished

[molten shard]

also I forgot how fucking good the music is on Vulcan

[vernal vector]

last few are being worked on

[molten shard]

I'll have to give them another try

Looks quite different in game. Pretty similar to the vanilla moons

[vernal vector]

much better

[molten shard]

?? Trying to upload to TS and there's no option for LC? Not sure what's going on

Huh reopening the tab fixed it, false alarm

Vulcan-9 has been updated

Changes:

• Fixed tiling issue with the ground

• Rebuilt for v73

Note: This was built for v73 and may not be compatible with v72 or earlier.

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/RealeStudios/Vulcan9/

[vernal vector]

man this moon just makes me think if the dev had made it on LLL

wonder what other stuff they may have made

since it WOULD have been popular

if it wasnt made on LE at the WORST TIME

@empty tiger ground textures fixed

[sharp plaza]

for real yea

[vernal vector]

only time worse is like

right now

XD

[molten shard]

Right? Infernis was my favorite custom moon early on but if I had known about this one, it would've easily surpassed it

Still like Infernis but Vulcan is just so cool

Wish I were creative enough to add to it lmao but it's cool enough as is that I have no idea what I'd add

[vernal vector]

infernis is a natural marvel, vulcan is an industrial wastland, you feel like your lungs shrivel with every breath

the consequences of overproduction and industrialization

very different lava vibes

[sharp plaza]

someone gotta make a moons pack exclusively made up of lava moons

i think pepsiman would have a heart attack lmao

[vernal vector]

I do have a constellation set up for that lol

[old ice]

the lava moons galore

[vernal vector]

in that I have Ichor, kiln, vulcan, lecaro and infernis

[sharp plaza]

does starlancer zero count?

has a volcano, technically

[molten shard]

Got some progress on Kastra! Much to be done but it's a start

[old ice]

i don't see starlancer as a volcano moon tho

[molten shard]

Volcanic moons are my favorite

[vernal vector]

more of an anomoly

[sharp plaza]

checks out

[sharp plaza]

YAAAY

my boy's comin' home

[vernal vector]

yk what I love more

city moons

especially ruined ones

[sharp plaza]

city moons are an untapped market

so many of them are cool as fuck

[vernal vector]

I love maritopia

[sharp plaza]

Orion technically counts I suppose, that's one of my faves

[vernal vector]

simple but fun

I dont think mari has ever left my pack

[sharp plaza]

I only dislike maritopia cuz some collissions are jank

but it's a good moon and moon concept

[vernal vector]

I havent had toooo many issues on it

besides I small section

[sharp plaza]

its the thing in front of the ship for me

lol

[empty tiger]

I never could get into Maritopia but yeah we need more City moons

I feel like Trite and Obscura do them just right

but we need more

[sharp plaza]

Kastra might become a mainstay once it comes out

[empty tiger]

Argent is cool but feels like something is missing, and Budapest is too small for me to really consider it a city moon

[sharp plaza]

it has very wateridge vibes

and after the vulcan update I might add it to a pack

hrmmm

[empty tiger]

I always feel weird seeing Windows 10 rethemed to look like a different os

[molten shard]

Tried Maritopia once and got stuck in the truss thing from the first building to the second. Never went back lol. Went back to Skytops after that

[molten shard]

Linux actually lol. AeroThemePlasma on KDE is fucking fantastic. Near 1-1, better than I could get 10 to look

[empty tiger]

I'm surprised you'd wanna theme Linux to look like Windows 7 tbh, the KDE themes nowadays are so gorgeous compared to how Windows looks

One of these days I'll probably swap to a Linux distro, with the road Windows 11 is going I don't think I'll still be on Windows by the end of next year

[molten shard]

Truthfully I'd rather just still be on 7 but I have a UEFI only PC (along with many other obvious problems there). Aero was the best thing Microsoft ever made. I like some of the KDE themes out there but nothing beats Aero for me

[vernal vector]

Still one my fav moons that doesnt use special mechanics XD

[molten shard]

Windows 10 was tolerable in the end but 11 is the nail in the coffin for me. I just can't bring myself to use it. Every time I try I just go back to 10, so I'm using endeavourOS with Windows 10 LTSC as a dual boot for the niche things that don't work on Linux

[empty tiger]

I'm ngl I always liked the way Windows 8.1 looked, I liked the taskbar kinda keeping the aero theming but it being refined a little and I liked the more flat titlebars with centered text

[empty tiger]

11 is just dog shit, it went downhill once they dropped 24h2 and it's not improved at all since

[molten shard]

8.1 was damn solid. I had the original Surface Pro at the time and it ran like a dream

[empty tiger]

Yeah 8.1 was the most optimized of the more modern versions

It was such a nice os, also wasn't bloated and filled with ads

It's such a shame it got forgotten about because 8 was so bad

[molten shard]

Yeah I can't fucking stand it. It's so sluggish and ugly and annoying. I'm also not on the AI train, so I can't stand how much they're trying to cram it in to every god damned thing

[empty tiger]

Yeah even on my high end pc I went back to 10 a couple of times when 11 was extremely broken after 24h2 released and 10 was such a fast os in comparison

11 went from 1:1 stability with 10 with 23h2 to being a mess and it's just remained a mess

like the few times I went back to 10, it just felt the same as 11 did pre-24h2

[molten shard]

8 really wasn't even bad on the Surface Pro. 8.1 was definitely better for desktops though

[sharp plaza]

it's rough yeah, maritopia's got a cleaner layout in comparison but the visuals are more jank

[molten shard]

Did 25h2 even bring anything new? Seemed like a nothing update

[empty tiger]

All due respect to Tolian and his stuff but his stuff was always buggy for me

Fucking gorgeous stuff, but gameplay feels like it took a back burner on priority for some of them

[molten shard]

I feel the same. Some of them were so cool but I remember randomly falling through the map and getting stuck in weird places

[empty tiger]

Yeah

[sharp plaza]

echelon had huge issues w that

lowkey wanna remake echelon in my style cuz it was super cool and unique 💔

[empty tiger]

The issues were why I dropped Tolian's stuff after a while

[sharp plaza]

echo reach plays well tho imo

and harloth

echelon also played fairly well tbf

and calt prime is a treat layout wise

[empty tiger]

Honestly the person slaying right now with new moon releases is Kenji

[sharp plaza]

it's just confusing cuz walls and entrances look really similar

[empty tiger]

his new stuff has been so good

Lua, Kiri, Kiln, Row

Bro is dropping peak

[sharp plaza]

kid is killing it

[empty tiger]

Yeah he's doing really fucking good

[sharp plaza]

a sleeper pick imo is moons of Ascension, they're cooking over there

[empty tiger]

Defectus is good but the others could use a bit of love

[sharp plaza]

and mones is getting better and better, even though the layouts and execution are. questionable for the moment

[sharp plaza]

I liked frieren a ton, it's a nice layout it just needs some extra decor

[empty tiger]

Beanie has a handful of goated interior releases

I think Storage Complex might be the only one that hasn't held up too well but it's his first one so it's understandable, you can see how much he learned with the others

[vernal vector]

Well echelon is dead now 💀

Also fuck celestria

[empty tiger]

DemonMae also has released quite a few good moons, Nightmare Moons saga is peak and the Moons of Otherworldly Oddity collection has some really good ones

Espira, Lithium, Ultimatum, and Pandoramus are prob my faves in Otherworldly

[sharp plaza]

Mae's nightmare moons are also quite nice I love how she does lightning and atmosphere

very unique

[sharp plaza]

yea, main reason I'd like to sorta remake it

[vernal vector]

I really only used it as a place for the school interiors

[sharp plaza]

I am not too fond of the other mae moons idk, but their nightmare moons are top tier stuff

[empty tiger]

Pandoramus is a peak anomaly moon though

I think nothing will ever top StarlancerZero ofc

but yeah

[vernal vector]

Imma miss idiosyn

[empty tiger]

Starlancer did it first and left his mark

[vernal vector]

Shader broke

[empty tiger]

Did it?

[vernal vector]

Ye its skybox is a literal box

[empty tiger]

It seemed fine when I tested it, I just don't like the ambience and eyes stuff creeping into the interior

[vernal vector]

Sky square

[sharp plaza]

oo another sleeper pick

[empty tiger]

lolol

I wish Rosie would come back

🙁

[vernal vector]

I still use soreal and pen

[empty tiger]

I hope she's doing okay, been worried about her

[vernal vector]

They are fine

[empty tiger]

I don't like the current Penumbra

at all

I liked the old one

[vernal vector]

Id take both

As dif moons

[empty tiger]

The current one should be a diff moon yeah

It's not Penumbra to me

[sharp plaza]

the icon for penumbra oversells it sadly

I thought it was gonna be much more zany and weird

[empty tiger]

Old Penumbra was so cool

[vernal vector]

Maybe if i fully figure out this unity stuff I could rip it and uppatch , at least since rosie is gone rn

[sharp plaza]

do you really need to though?

like, those moons work, don't they?

they're not LE moons

[empty tiger]

Rosie was working on bringing back Old Penumbra but ran into some issues, if she ever returns I hope she finishes it

[vernal vector]

Old pen would at least need a cruiser patch im pretty sure

[vernal vector]

Oh dam

[empty tiger]

It was gonna come back way better tbh

[vernal vector]

They are old lll moons so some more minor things would prob need fixing

As well you can only play it with an ancient version of the moonpack

Og pen wasnt a solo release

[sharp plaza]

If they came out after the cruiser they most likely don't need any fixing up other than their water

which would only require you to rebundle them in the new unity version

[vernal vector]

I think theyd need a cruiser patch

[sharp plaza]

(not on a patched v73 project, just the updated unity version)

[sharp plaza]

not if they came out after the cruiser

[vernal vector]

I dont think they did

Tho my memory id hazy

[sharp plaza]

this is true

[vernal vector]

But yeah dont wanna get ahead of myself im still learning scrap rn

LOL

[molten shard]

Is that the one that has all the giant floating things like the mask and stuff? Was it different from that before?

[vernal vector]

It was an entirely different moon before

[vernal vector]

kinda bad video but it was very different

[deep jolt]

one second!!! 🗣️

[vernal vector]

I shat myself!!! 🗣️

[molten shard]

Holy shit! Very different indeed

That looks sick

[vernal vector]

yeah I didnt realize I had my mic on lol

[deep jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/rigby-cat-gif-14798873365048305742

[vernal vector]

so thats what you look like irl

[fierce nova]

that's vulcan9?

[vernal vector]

no???

thats old penumbra

[fierce nova]

do you have a video of vulcan9?

[fierce nova]

oh, penumbra

I remember another layout of penumbra

[vernal vector]

latest version made the ground textures look better these were bugged

[fierce nova]

the one that had a hole in the right and a small storage thingy like the office

[vernal vector]

get exciting at like 3 mins in

especially 340+

[vernal vector]

yeah it went thru a lot of changes

[fierce nova]

really cool moon.
It's kinda sad that I only play moonpacks :,]

[vernal vector]

you could just, not XD

just toss it in sometime

prob my fav lava moon lowkey

[deep jolt]

kinda yeah hehe

[warped knoll]

definitely has the best done gimmick for all volcanic moons so far. my only complaint (while realistic) is that i cant grab things that end up beneath the risen lava

[molten shard]

Hey has anyone been on Ether lately? NotezyLib was deprecated a while ago and Ether depends on it for the multi interior generation. Just wondering if it still works

[warped knoll]

i only use the single interior ver

[vernal vector]

Itll work till next lc update

BUT zeek is adding multiinterior capabilities to vanilla dungen

[warped knoll]

... huh???

proof?

[sharp plaza]

he's updating the dungen version (won't break nothing)

but I didn't know that also meant multidungeons

[vernal vector]

I think it was batby who mentioned it

lemme find it

fuck cant find it his posts are everywhere @raw oyster sorry for the ping but mind confirming haha

[raw oyster]

ye

[vernal vector]

here

[raw oyster]

2.13 to 2.18
https://dungen-docs.aegongames.com/2.18/changelog/

[warped knoll]

hmmmmmmmmmm

alrighty

[raw oyster]

but to be clear lc itself isn't gonna like utilise the dungen feature

will still need a mod to plug the right things where and how people want them

[valid basin]

i think ether is busted, i have it disabled (but dont remember exactly why), i think the entrances were all messed up or something, I can purposefully test it if you want me to.

from memory, me and my friends went in different entrances, and they led to the same interior, but the main was the fire, and the fire was the main, or something.

[warped knoll]

use the single entrance variant. NotezyLib is no longer being supported, thus multi Ether doesnt work (unless you're on v72)

[valid basin]

all i said was, that i disabled the multi entrance version, so i assume it was busted last time i tried it ;o (because i dont remember)

[molten shard]

Thanks everyone, I'll test it tonight and probably switch the main mod back to just the single interior version

I don't think I ever even got to play on the multiple interior version with my friends while it was working lol. Haven't had any time to play lately

[molten shard]

Ether has been updated

Changes:

• Multiple interior generation has been removed

-NotezyLib has been removed as a dependency

-Built with the latest Unity version for v73

Known Issues:

• The monitors around the city don't play video in v73. Currently investigating this.

[molten shard]

The single interior version has been deprecated as the main version has been restored to the single interior version. No rush to move over until the next LC update as it'll still work fine for now

[warped knoll]

🔥

[valid basin]

rip treble interior land 🙁

[molten shard]

Twas fun while it lasted! Hopefully Notezy decides to revive the lib someday

[warped knoll]

given how much v73 unnecessarily broke, and how much fancy code was put into it, i can imagine they feel quite defeated.

[molten shard]

I can imagine, yeah

They were pushing some insane boundaries with their mods

[vernal vector]

but the lib was updated for v73

[vernal vector]

who its current feature would break regardless most likely

considering zeek changing dungen soon

[molten shard]

Skytops has been updated

Changes:

• Fixed wind noise playing inside the interior

All one of us that plays this moon here (Me!) can rejoice! Never noticed this until recently landing on the moon for the first time in a long time.

Ether has been updated

Changes:

• Ship monitor video and all TV screens on the moon have been fixed

[thin dirge]

Man. the day my life got easier

[molten shard]

Glad you're getting good use out of it! How's the color changing thing working out? Are they the right shades? Don't think I ever checked in on that

[thin dirge]

It works really fuckin good

it genuinely works super well

These are the thumbnails that I made partially using the Green Screen moon

you can tell what parts were made using the green screen moon

[molten shard]

So cool!! They look great! That third one 🤣🤣 not a moon you wanna be caught flying to 🤔

[thin dirge]

LMFAO

I actually found out about it off another video

then decided to grab my bud MrFedora and make a video on it

BUT I TROLLED HIS ASS TOO

[molten shard]

I had no idea it was an actual moon 🤣🤣🤣

[thin dirge]

[thin dirge]

APPARENTLY ITS BEEN SINCE THE LETHALEXPANSION DAYS

The Mod maker just made a LethalLevelLoader version

[molten shard]

Wtf!!! And it's still working?

[thin dirge]

Dude I wish LethalExpansion moons still worked haha

[molten shard]

Was gonna say I'd port it but that'll be the one that'll get me in trouble lmfao

[thin dirge]

BWAAT HWWHEHHAAH

Omg you know what would be a cool port

That one uh

Big big Bikini Bottom moon

and it’s smaller varient

Man

I used to play on that a lot back in the LethalExpansion days

When both LE and LLL went hand in hand

Peakamoly moons

[molten shard]

Ohh yeah someone asked me to take a look at that one. I don't remember if I tried it or not? I'll have to take a look at them

[thin dirge]

Lemme send you the video it was featured in on my end

[molten shard]

Yeah I remember going to one a few times shortly before LE died

[thin dirge]

But there’s also the bigger version as well

like the full bikini bottom

I remember vividly big moons being really popular

but very specifically with LethalExpansion

like very largely sized moons

https://youtu.be/IZ-6byg0EnI?si=h2RodQ_UWzXvRT6H

this is where the smaller Bikini Bottom was featured

[molten shard]

Hm yeah most of the ones I played carried over to LLL except the bikini bottom one (I think it was the whole town? I don't remember) Castle Grounds, and Skytops; the last two I remade/ported

At work but I'll watch that a little later!

[thin dirge]

I’d have to assume it wasn’t the whole town

The whole town would be peak to have in LLL tho

[thin dirge]

ight

[molten shard]

Oh shit yeah that does not look like the bikini bottom one I had 🤣 looks nuts!

[thin dirge]

Yeah thats the smaller one

[thin dirge]

so

wait…

REALE???

REALE!!??

[thin dirge]

DELETED USER????

NOOOOOOOOOOO

OUR GOAT IS GONE

[summer bobcat]

I hope they'll get back, their work is top tier

[thin dirge]

I know

Me too

they were also a chill person in general

[boreal tiger]

their mod update suprisingly still fresh despite the discord account being deleted

[junior magnet]

oh shit what

[thin dirge]

Oh shit real

but what happened to their account tho?

I hope not hacked

that’d be worrying

[naive gyro]

at least it hopefully means they didnt sign into thunderstore with a discord acc

[thin dirge]

true

[naive gyro]

i should probably do a sign in with a github alt and put that on all my teams lol

[frigid totem]

Uhhhhh....what?

I missed something....big, didn't I?

[deep jolt]

NAH

You missed something

MASSIVE

[vernal vector]

I might wanna download a backup copy of their mods

just in case

id need to reupload them

like if the TS acc was for whatever reason nuked

I talked to reale a lot before in dms so if that was the situation I dont think hed mind

[naive gyro]

i mean yeah but

theyre still uploading even after deleted account

[vernal vector]

I meant IF anything ever happened

since atm there isnt a way to contact reale

since his acc is gone

[valid basin]

not to speculate, but, in my experience with a friend in my own discord server who randomly got deleted... my friend got banned for "looking at dodgy memes on discord", and they have made about 10 accounts since, and the moment discord links their new account to the old one, using old "connections" as proof, they ban the new account too (which would explain why after deletion, we havent seen a return), so whatever reale is banned/deleted for (if he didnt do it himself.. as I hear a lot of people are quitting discord over the Id requests issue.. which IMHO, is silly to quit discord over), he may have tried to create a new account, and swiftly got re-banned for "ban evasion" like my friend did.

as i say, not saying reale got banned for doing something bad, just saying a "why" or two of why their account is gone, and why they may not reappear.

I always have to question every time my banned friend re-appears, because i can never be 100% sure its them until I hear them on voice xD

[thin dirge]

OMG NO I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING

GREEN SCREEN MOON’LL BE BROKEN

FUCK

NEVERMIND

We are saved

[torn river]

Hi friends!!!

[thin dirge]

Holy shit

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

YOU’RE BACK

AAAAAAH!!!!

[torn river]

Sorry to concern you all! I had a lapse in judgment and deleted my Discord account.

I was trying to purge social media in general for a number of reasons. Still planned to work on and maintain these mods, tho. Then V80 hit and I realised how much I was missing out on by not being here, so I'm back!

I tried to leave a trail of Github pages in case anybody needed me but that's just not enough. I missed you guys

[torn river]

If for any reason my Thunderstore mods disappear I definitely would not mind this

[deep jolt]

haiiiii realeee

nice to see you back!!

i hope youve been doing great!

[torn river]

Thank you!!! Nice to be back! Been hanging in there, how about you?

[thin dirge]

They didn’t

[deep jolt]

been doing great!! bit stressed with life but nothing out of the ordinary hehehe

[thin dirge]

And also about the v80 thing

YOUR MOONS STILL WORK

[torn river]

Yeah I've had a github backup on those just in case. But you know, if for some silly reason they do disappear and I'm not here, feel free to do what needs to be done

[thin dirge]

LethalLib got updated, so did JLL and some other stuff too

Oh also Reale guess fucking what

[empty tiger]

I get the purge for other Social Media though

platforms like X and Facebook especially

[torn river]

What??

[thin dirge]

GREEN SCREEN MOON STILL WORKS

[torn river]

Yup both of those are gone lmfao

[torn river]

Hell yeah!!! That's all that matters lmao

Haven't tested that one in a long ass time so I'm glad to hear

[thin dirge]

But what actually matters honestly

is that you’re good

sure the mods are great and all

but the modder matters most

because you’re still a human

like me

and Lunxara

and our lord and savior Xu Xiaolan

good to have you back Reale

[torn river]

Thank you for the warm welcome!! Good to be back. I made a grave mistake

[thin dirge]

Its okay

we all make mistakes

its simply part of life

I’ve made

MANY

mistakes

[torn river]

Tell me about it!!!

[thin dirge]

if you need anyone to talk to tho

about anything

modding related or not

Im right here to support ya

Im no modder but uh

Boom talks to me about his mods so

Might as well attempt to understand what its like to be in y’alls shoes

:D

[torn river]

Means a lot to me, thanks!

[thin dirge]

Anytime!

I do eventually wanna make a moon however

but its a map made in Garry’s Mod

From SMG4

[torn river]

Would be glad to help once I figure out v80 lol

[thin dirge]

Fr???

[torn river]

Of course!!

[thin dirge]

I would absolutely love a live tutorial

[torn river]

Haven't yet figured out how to convert Source stuff to Unity tho

[thin dirge]

there is

a video I ran into

Not sure how it might go

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZbZWwo07e8

[torn river]

Oh shit I'll give that a watch! I have a few GMOD maps I'd love to turn into moons

[thin dirge]

Oh shit niiice

I added you btw

smiles

[fiery shuttle]

Happy to have you back, reale! Hope things are going well!

[warped knoll]

👏

[naive gyro]

whats good reale

good to see u again

[naive gyro]

if you converted pl_snowycoast that would be really funny

[torn river]

Thanks everyone! Yeah its going well. Been busy with work

[torn river]

I don't think I've ever played that one. I'll have to fire up gmod and check it out

I just got the s&box developer preview. Looks very promising but it was a bit buggy on Linux, so I'll probably check it our again when it officially releases

Somebody already ported gm_bigcity to it (my personal favorite) so that was fun to dick around with. Couldn't figure out how to get guns from the new workshop store thing so I'll have to do some research I guess

How's everyone liking v80? My big modpack hasn't caught up to it yet so I haven't tried it much but what I have seen looks really cool

[torn river]

Hey @prisma furnace sorry for the ping, I deleted and remade my Discord account. Do I have to make a new thread to get my modder role back or can I somehow reclaim this and the other thread I used to have?

[prisma furnace]

You cant reclaim a thread but you can still type in them

?modder 1490865518586892399

[wooden fossil]

Gave Modder to @torn river, please use #role-picker to select the modding disciplines you are interested in!

[torn river]

That'll do, thanks!

[vernal vector]

hey since your back, ik valor didnt work out(still hope there is a way to fix it), any plans to do the other moons from the batch I collected ages ago XD

[torn river]

I'd still love to do Valor one of these days. Need to take a creative approach to it as much of it needs to be modeled from scratch. I did make some progress on that tho. I was working on Kastra a little while back. Got it sort of functional, so that shouldn't be too bad to get going

Just struggling with the v80 update lol

My stupid interiors were such a pain to get going but I finally fixed the main issue I had

[vernal vector]

damn lol

[torn river]

I have separate projects going for my mods; one for the SM64 ones plus a Vulcan, Skytops, and IO, then another that has Ether, GreenScreenMoon, Valor, Kastra, and maybe something else? Anyways I have the first one patched but I haven't patched the second one yet. I think that one should be easier

Once I get everything updated, I am definitely feeling creative again, so I'd love to get something going here

Long story short, Kastra is probably next

(I'd also love to learn how to port Source stuff in general like they did for Kastra)

I don't know Hammer very well but it would be cool to port other GMOD maps

[sharp plaza]

Hello hello!!

I saw you posted a new lib, coolio!

I was wondering if for the LE moons you've ported you'd be willing to update the doors to match with vanillas? As in add an opening animation of some sort to them

Might be too much work tho so I don't blame you, I'm just curious!

I'm glad to see you're still out here making stuff <3

[torn river]

Hey! I currently haven't used the lib in any of the moons I've posted, but somebody else needed one of the scripts I plan to incorporate, so it got an early release! I don't code much, but I have a handful of things that would be useful across moons.

And yes I am planning to upgrade the doors! It's been a lot of work updating everything to V80. Progress has stalled, but I'll be getting back to it at some point. For the moons that have the same exterior doors as vanilla, it's as easy as copy/pasting them in. Haven't tried it with custom doors but I know it will be possible

[sharp plaza]

Hell yeah. WE WILL BE PLAYING brother I'll tell you that

[thorn birch]

Hello, Skytop was one of my babies. Awesome job reviving the lethalexpansion moons. Due to circumstances i couldnt, I do still have all the files on the other moons i did if your ever interested

[sharp plaza]

Oh shit, hello! that's really cool

[torn river]

Hey, I would be honored! And of course I am more than happy to hand the reins back and help if you're interested in updating them yourself. Otherwise, I would love to take them on and update them for you

[thorn birch]

I had fun making them, would take some time downloading 3.9 again. Im peaked at 600kb/s, I cant do much. I wouldn't mind handing them over, think I still have one I didn't upload.

[torn river]

That's rough. I've been there, though. Had a cheap internet plan in a condo complex that would once in a while reach a staggering 5mbps but most of the time it was well below 1. God forbid two people used the internet at once, everything would grind to a halt

I know a lot of people here would love to see all those old moons come back. Let me know whenever/however you want to exchange the files, and if your situation improves and you want to start working on it again, let me know!

[thorn birch]

I threw it on google docs and sent you the link in your dms. If you need anything else let me know, I'll be slowly downloading away

[halcyon wigeon]

Fucking awesome

[warped knoll]

TuT

brings me joy
