[Complete] Fabric 1.20.1 backport: Single Entity

[sweet delta]

Looking for a backport of the Magma Munchers from the following mod: https://modrinth.com/mod/useless-reptile
I don't need the entire latest version, just the Magma Muncher entity, so if it's easier to port just the entity and not the whole mod, that is preferred. Also, the mod is not to be publicly available by request of the original author.

Please:

• Do not DM interest/friend request, respond here
• Have proof you own the Discord account you're using in your portfolio or modding profile (scammer moment)
• Provide a price estimate up front: my budget is not super flexible so I need to know if I'm able to accept it at the estimated price first

[smoky ibex]

I'm interested

Aighty mind giving me an estimate what this would cost?

[midnight widget]

Is it not already? https://modrinth.com/mod/useless-reptile/version/0.7.4-1.20.1

[smoky ibex]

I just realized that too 🤔

[midnight widget]

unless they're talking about entities on a newer version that didn't exist yet

[sweet delta]

Correct

that's why the backport is a single entity

Four of the dragons are in the 1.20.1 version, magma muncher is not

[midnight widget]

I see, I'll have a quick look at the source

hopefully isn't too difficult to add

[sweet delta]

If it helps, the developer explained this:

Issue with backporting is that I have features in my mod tied to features that exist only in new game version (mostly rendering related). And thus, backporting is problematic

though I didn't specify entity or version since I wanted to check if they were alright with it in the first place and wasn't anticipating some extra info

[midnight widget]

that is problematic

[sweet delta]

Tbh, I'm not too fussed if it needs to be 'trimmed down' visually if required

parity would be nice but alas budget is a consideration

Same with mechanics, if they'd be finnicky to implement. #1 priotiy is to collect cute dragon

[midnight widget]

I'll do my best, still not easy by any means

biggest change looks like geckolib5 -> 4

alright, quote is $70

[summer patio]

blud

[sweet delta]

@smoky ibex did you have an estimate too?

[midnight widget]

I made the mistake of underestimating an entity mod once

[summer patio]

idk why you aren't banned yet

[summer patio]

he's not trustworthy don't even consider him

[midnight widget]

have they completed any VERIFIED requests?

[summer patio]

none

[sweet delta]

gotta get the first one somewhere though right?

[midnight widget]

incredible

lots of offers, but no actual commitments

[summer patio]

is a person like this ready to take people's money ?

i don't think so

[midnight widget]

Normally that's done through personal mods, not expecting a "trust me bro" from strangers

[sweet delta]

Mmmmmm true

[summer patio]

WAIT

THATS MY MOD

[sweet delta]

💀

[midnight widget]

I had about 20 mods, a few over 1m downloads before I started doing comms

[summer patio]

CAUGHT YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT

[sweet delta]

bruh

bruh

[summer patio]

@cold oyster BAN HAMMER PLEASE

[sweet delta]

💀

[midnight widget]

oh dear

[summer patio]

https://modrinth.com/mod/cobblemonfifo-limits

that's also my mod

@shadow tartan BRO you commissioned me that

[midnight widget]

so they stole other people's mods for their portfolio

[summer patio]

are you out of your mind

[midnight widget]

no wonder they have 0 actual completions

should report to MDZ too

[summer patio]

reponting instantly

hell yeah

CAUGHTTTTTTT

[sweet delta]

yknow im becoming increasingly impressed that my first experience here (you) was legit 💀

[summer patio]

[sweet delta]

so if people can literally just steal other people's mods how do you even screen for that

[midnight widget]

that's why you have to ask around

I would've given you an IDK, but seems fishy

[sweet delta]

wait a full day before accepting any comm from someone small to see if anyone checks them out and finds it stolen 💀

crazy

[sweet delta]

anyway let me check in my fellow dragon enjoyer friend and see if they'd be willing to split this and ill get back to you asap

does this include function of the entity too, or just an 'empty' model?

[midnight widget]

they've been here for far longer than a day, but haven't found a smoking gun until now

I'm honestly shocked, most out themselves within the first dozen messages

[cold oyster]

can someone give me more context

who is being reported

someone stole leclown's mod?

[midnight widget]

this includes full functionality to the best of my ability

[sweet delta]

yeah they seemed to have a fairly active history in here and a spruced up full nitro profile. didnt seem like a scammer throwaway

[midnight widget]

so minus 1.20.2+ vanilla features

[cold oyster]

@summer patio

[midnight widget]

blueberry man here

[cold oyster]

is @smoky ibex a scammer that's reuploading other peoples mods to modrinth to look legit

[sweet delta]

Is it possible to see what price we'd look at if there was no functionality attached?

[summer patio]

hi

[summer patio]

it's my mod

actually 2 of them

that i sold to @shadow tartan

[cold oyster]

you should report to modrinth lol

[still schooner]

@cold oyster banned @smoky ibex

[summer patio]

yeah..

i'll do that when they hire me

[midnight widget]

It's your copyright, only you can enforce it

[cold oyster]

you not reporting it is you allowing them to continue using your work to scam people

[midnight widget]

correct

[summer patio]

okay sure, i'll make a report

i mean, packages are named after me

they can easily check

[midnight widget]

they don't have the obligation to enforce other people's copyright

so unless it's really obvious like optifine, they may not know

[summer patio]

he just took it down

i kept a screenshot

i'll get an update in 3 business weeks

[sweet delta]

@midnight widget just bumping this in case it got lost btw

[summer patio]

make a new post ngl

[midnight widget]

no idea, it would just be a statue at that point

[sweet delta]

Mm alright ill see

USD yeah?

[midnight widget]

yes

[sweet delta]

alright i've asked my friend, will let you know

Alright it's 'maybe' so far but they're heading to bed, so I suppose they'll give it a better think over tomorrow. Will let you know then

[sweet delta]

Also before I get any questions: Lightning Chaser exists for versions on 1.20.1, but it's not finished and unobtainable in survival
Well, I guess I'd like to add a quote for finishing this guy off too, please

[midnight widget]

that's a bit harder, I have no idea

I can look once I have the actual code open

[tender tundra]

Think about it, nitro is what, 10 20 bucks a month? I forget. But if they have scammed people before and the quote is like 80$ then they've definitely covered that.

I do hope this works out for you though, seems a little beyond my capabilities.

[sweet delta]

Mmm true, even if they only get one scam out of an account that’s still a net gain

[sweet delta]

Thanks, I just like my dragons lolol

[cloud owl]

Aww I missed my chance, wait theres still time :p

[cloud owl]

Lol last time it was me this time it's lewcloud finding scammers xD

[sweet delta]

Ikr bro I’m attracting all the scammers 😭 I need to start being mean about unconvincing profiles

[sweet delta]

Wellllll there’s two dragons lol

If collaborating is possible

[midnight widget]

I'm finding scammers more often than I'm getting jobs now

[cloud owl]

ill leave it to itemstack :p as they where first

[sweet delta]

aight @midnight widget he's interested, but depending on pricing, we'd prefer to prioritise the lightning chaser over the magma muncher

[sweet delta]

(I apologise for the turnaround, I wasn't aware they were unfinished before I made this post)

[midnight widget]

My quote is $35 for the first dragon only

[sweet delta]

Thanks, passing it on

[midnight widget]

100 if you accept both

[sweet delta]

Yep sounds good we're happy to do it 👍

[midnight widget]

alright, will start next week

[midnight widget]

Having a bit of a holdup, won't be able to start until Thursday

[sweet delta]

No worries, thanks for letting me know

[midnight widget]

attemptingf to load the project but the dependencies are giving trouble

[midnight widget]

this is going to be a fun time

[midnight widget]

lots of side effects from adding just one mob

[midnight widget]

ok, this is much bigger than it appears, I'll step back and re evaluate

[sweet delta]

Unfortunate, thank you for letting me know

[sweet delta]

Is this just for the magma muncher, or does this include finishing off the lightning chaser too?

[midnight widget]

both, they're dependent on features added in the far future version of the mod

and the side effects of those features means I need to backport most of it

[sweet delta]

ah yep makes sense

i don't mind cutting down on mehcanics if that helps

[midnight widget]

even with cutting down, I have to know what can safely be cut, which can't be done without mostly porting the mod

[sweet delta]

Ah

[midnight widget]

this is what I mean, I got here after a couple hours work and am nowhere near being done

ported from the 1.21.8 branch (first with magma muncher) the best I could

[summer patio]

use AI at this point

[digital wolf]

[midnight widget]

Yeah I'm going to have to call it, this is not $100 worth of work

[digital wolf]

What became the stopper lmao

[covert mortar]

Hey,
I could try taking on this commission, but could you explain in more detail what exactly you're stuck on?

[midnight widget]

too much work backporting 1.21.8 features

it's doable, but it's no longer worth my time as I have other projects

8 hours of work for $100 is not productive

[digital wolf]

@sweet delta if interested, I may look into it for 120

Seems a lot but I have little to no work right now

[covert mortar]

Got it

[sweet delta]

I'll forward this to my friend 👍

[sweet delta]

Yep we're down for it!

[digital wolf]

I saw what he meant just now

[sweet delta]

oh n o lmao

[digital wolf]

I gotta see what geckolib features need to be downgraded lmfao

[sweet delta]

when i showed this to my friend he commented he was concerned you'd arrive at the same conclusion

well

[digital wolf]

How flexible could you be anyways, like maximum from this point

[sweet delta]

ig he was right LOL

[summer patio]

me when lowballing itches me

[sweet delta]

We're much more flexible when it comes to the Lightning Chaser, which is already partially implemented into the current version

[digital wolf]

I saw the stuff and it dawned on me

[sweet delta]

Hey dude I didn't suggest this price

i posted the comm and asked people what the quote for it is

[digital wolf]

I mean, maybe.. I'll tell you for sure in the evening

In about 6 hours from now

[summer patio]

i was talking about myself

[sweet delta]

Magma is completely unique to 1.21 but the lightning chaser already exists ingame with model and animations I believe

[digital wolf]

[summer patio]

[digital wolf]

Look into this camera

[summer patio]

i already have a comm it's okay

[digital wolf]

Nice

[sweet delta]

Oh I see

[digital wolf]

I have one as well but I am burned out on that

[summer patio]

bruh 💀

[sweet delta]

i thoght i was being critisized for lowballing which honestly would be fair, and that's why i ask people to provide their price

[digital wolf]

Its like a 1500$ recreation of an entire movie

[summer patio]

A WHAT

[sweet delta]

idk what the value of the work is and ion wanna lowball 💔

[digital wolf]

Dont ask me, its some youtuber who does art and they wanna create basically it was a book I think which had a regional movie made on

So its a dune like world, has 14 suns, there is weird mobs.. loads of shit

[sweet delta]

tbh that sounds fun

[digital wolf]

One spiderman ass thing as well

Yeah... real fun sure, has been a pain in the ass

[summer patio]

i'm still waiting for someone to pay me 1000$ to port origins to neoforge

[digital wolf]

I keep getting odd requests honestly

[summer patio]

just forward to me

and i'll deny them

[digital wolf]

I had a guy who wanted NPC breeding for hytale..

Also for skyrim

[digital wolf]

npc breed with player btw

[summer patio]

ah

[digital wolf]

So yeah... idk why I attract this demographic

Although, I did get a fun one for minecraft which basically makes it like bannerlords

Which I need to start later

[summer patio]

i think i have an idea

[sweet delta]

Please let us know what the cost would be for just the lightning chaser, as opposed to the magma muncher as well

Since it sounds like magma in particular will be the annoying one and lightning is the one we're most interested in

[midnight widget]

I told ya so

[midnight widget]

I offered to do the whole thing for 275 and no one took me up on it, good thing

[digital wolf]

Its gonna be a pain ngl but maybe if I like it

[summer patio]

275 is way too low wtf

[midnight widget]

Yeah I was dumb and didn't look closely enough

but they said they couldn't afford it thankfully

[summer patio]

there's Calio, Apoli, Origins

Apoli is 30k lines isnt it

[midnight widget]

I don't think very much is fabric specific

still a pain though

[digital wolf]

Origins by nature shouldnt be too much into mc specific stuff

[midnight widget]

I'm pricing this against those

time is fungible

[midnight widget]

It's very mc specific, but there's some modloader bits as well

[digital wolf]

I thought most of the logic of origins would be common

[covert mortar]

I'll DM you to clarify the details. Then we'll come back here if anything, okay?

[sweet delta]

Public please

Too many scammers

I prefer dms for privacy but it's proven to be a great way to get scammed

[covert mortar]

I just wrote a clarifying question about what needs to be done. Payment and work details will not be discussed in DMs, just to avoid cluttering this chat
