[fallen sluice]

I see online that MCR can do it, but I didnt see any options in MCR that were doing it

[serene kite]

vons caves

theres some other mods to change terrain gen, but most are required by all and cause desync if you dont have whatever respective mod. von's is the only one i know of thats host only and doesnt cause issues like that

[fallen sluice]

what are the other ones?

can you control cave gen through the vons custom room one?

[serene kite]

it just changes the pool of rooms the game can pick from

i believe he did have some mod that allows for more customization by the user, but its not on modio

[fallen sluice]

I see

[serene kite]

theres "Linear Egg Hunts" and "Linear Dreadnought Tunnels" which make the cave gen of those missions more similar to a morkite mining mission

[fallen sluice]

oh I see

[serene kite]

theres also "Non-linear Escort" which makes the caves in escort missions not be in a completely straight line

von has a couple other mods that affect the layout/generation of certain misison types, and theres also a mod called cavegen unlocker. thats the list of mods i can think of, but there could be more

[fallen sluice]

Yeah I see cavegen unlocker, I installed it but cant seem to access it through the modhub

Aaa I really want to find that mod that can make a room super huge, I didnt get an answer that time when I asked in game

[serene kite]

i dont think cavegen unlocker has a modhub page to customize anything

[fallen sluice]

:*(

[odd kayak]

hello 👋 🤠

Before I forget, your problem was that the program wouldn't open.

[serene kite]

i have the files to remove most of the bones (excluding the rocks/pebbles that use the bone material--i tried removing those and they turned into 2d squares lmao). i could gather those files and make a pak file if u wanted

i spent a day working on a "Clutter Be Gone" style mod but struggled with certain assets and never ended up returning to it

[slim anchor]

That sounds awesome! I would love that, if you'd be willing

[dusky flame]

I downloaded all the optimization mods that were available, but the FPS in the Ossuary Depths never increased and still drops to 13 or even lower.

The lowest settings, but the resolution is 34%, and Bloom and highlights are turned on (they look better and don't take up as much FPS).

[torn dove]

is there a mod i can get that lets me skip the overclock forging animation?

[dusty pelican]

how to delete a deprecated mod? please help

[sacred yacht]

You aren't able to unsub from it on mod.io?

[dusty pelican]

browser or website?

[sacred yacht]

The website

[dusty pelican]

no its not there

[sacred yacht]

Cuz unsubscribing on the website removes it ingame as well

[dusty pelican]

This is both screenshots and its not listed

[sacred yacht]

I can't check because I'm not at my pc rn, but I think there's a second place to see all the mods you're subscribed to

Ah damn yeah the second screenshot is the one I was talking about

[sacred yacht]

Wait, is it on the second page?

[dusty pelican]

No its not

I have it filtered from name and te nane isnt listed

[sacred yacht]

You're using mint?

(External modloader)

[dusty pelican]

yes

[sacred yacht]

Then add this to your launch options on steam

-disablemodding

[dusty pelican]

Ok

[sacred yacht]

It won't actually disable mods, just manage your mods from mint rather than the ingame menu and itll work normally

[dusty pelican]

thank you!!

[sacred yacht]

No problem

[queen galleon]

is there mods that give you more guns?

[stray ibex]

only found one in mod.io

yinlung mk2 hmg

never played it myself tho

actually it's not been updated in 3 years

[queen galleon]

this game doesnt seem to have like overhaul mods huh?

[elder spoke]

massive content revise is an overhaul mod

[odd kayak]

Here I leave my link to join the game with mods 😄 steam://joinlobby/548430/109775244825012700/76561198795672726

[undone flicker]

Say what mod do you think you get the most mileage out of

I think it might be my Animation Cancel mod

[humble geode]

i like sprint by default hold to walk, weapon heat crosshair, and ammo percentage

[waxen light]

Hold to bhop is a good one too

[humble geode]

i just use mwheel jump

down for jump and up for interact so i can kick barrels all the way across space rig

[waxen light]

My spacebar is on its last legs so that mod is a godsend lol

[twilit aurora]

Camera shake control. Literally can't play the game without it.

[amber yarrow]

is there any mod that can fix some of the hand clipping with weapon frameworks?

[stray ibex]

anyone know if there's a mod for better latejoins / rejoins? Would such a mod even be possible?

[jade musk]

Any mods to make the m1k easier on the ears

I can't use it because of the sounds

[elder spoke]

for your own use?
I have build inspector + combined presets with a few loadouts, so when latejoining I can glance the builds of other people, and then pick a suitable loadout of my own

[steel solar]

Refresh my memory, the main reason to play 6x2 over H5A is because people generally find it more enjoyable to deal with difficulty through swarm frequency and bug variety compared to just making every bug significantly stronger right?

[jade musk]

@steel solar @normal meadow y'all should try combined presets you can swap between builds so easy and fast you never get bored

[normal meadow]

I already use it

[steel solar]

what's that

I just use a mod for more build slots

[jade musk]

My sweet summer child

[steel solar]

Explain what it is then?

[jade musk]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/combined-presets#description

[jade musk]

I was sending itttt

Meow

[jade musk]

Let's you change you cosmetics loudouts and stuff name it etc as you join a mission

So you don't have to search through an remember stuff

Name one Exe roll AV ED etc

[steel solar]

Does this replace More Loadout Slots?

[jade musk]

Don't think so no

It's so fun just hopping in a mission and changing my builds and character

The game gets stale if you use one thing all the time

[steel solar]

yeah I was actually doing a self-imposted challenge

Where I clear Haz 5 60 total times, with 15 unique builds on each class

[jade musk]

Heck yeah go for it just make sure each loudouts slot is balanced you could go extreme with one weapon for hvt one for crowd clear ooorrr have 2 jack of all weps

[jade musk]

Turret whip Fatboy is weird but it works too

[stray ibex]

Got those too, not the problem. Several friends of mine get spontaneous disconnections, and in some mission types, can't reconnect

[elder spoke]

dunno if any mods could help with that
out of curiosity, do they just get a lost connection message, or does their game crash / freeze?

[golden bay]

unironcally, is there a voiceline mod that makes the dwarves be nice to molly

shes the goat

[hidden vessel]

You may have to uninstall and reinstall sandbox if uou believe your version is outdated

Are you using the default modding system for drg

Or do you have mint

I don't know how it works by default, but for mint you have to uninstall and reinstall to update mods

[distant crane]

Mod itself is freshly installed, bur yes, I use mod.io

[hidden vessel]

Oh hmm

[distant crane]

So, the mod being laggy is not very common?

[elder spoke]

I used sandbox on mod.io back in teh day and it worked fine for me

[hidden vessel]

Either way though don't talk about mods in normal general chat or else mods mute you

[elder spoke]

continues to work well on mint

[distant crane]

https://tenor.com/view/raiken-cat-hang-die-bitya-gif-26309780

[elder spoke]

maybe it's some weird mod conflict

[distant crane]

uh, yeah, disabled

Should ve expected

But thanks for the warning

[distant crane]

Maybe, I also installed an additional mod for spawning enemies, so I could try to uninstall that one

[elder spoke]

that might be it

[hidden vessel]

Are you spawning the enemies with sandbox utils?

[elder spoke]

you don't need that with sandbox utils

[distant crane]

Yes, but the first time I got spawned into sandbox I think I used that other mod, then removed the enemy w/ sandbox util and continued spawning with the latter only

I didnt go into sandbox again though, so I will uninstall the other mod and try again

[willow fiber]

I've checked the messages in here but I'm just wondering if I've missed anything, is there any way I can make the beard physics come back or is it just something I have to put up with when having mods installed

It's a small thing but I really do like my beard physics but if it's a trade off I must make then so be it. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do about it

[warm sable]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/dynamic-cylinder-swap

[formal umbra]

How do i fix it??

[cloud hedge]

Any mod's for impresive space rig's improvment? New minigame's/thing's to do?

[tame hemlock]

i thibk massive content redux or however its called changes the rig and adds sandwiches

[charred cape]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/massive-content-revise#description

[twilit aurora]

MCR adds a whole new section to the rig, but it's so different in every other way you'll only be playing with other MCR players. Not sure how large that pool is compared to stock worldgen

[tulip brook]

Hey all. Does anyone have a link to that one mod that adds more detailed health bars for the dreadnought twins? Specifically the one that shows the HP of their individual parts? I'm having a hard time trying to find it, I think because its name is in another language.

[native drum]

do you mean MineCreator or My Chemical Romance?

[tender coral]

Pretty sure its massive content revise

[hot blade]

@jade musk
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/retro-promotions#description

[jade musk]

Approved 😔🙏

I don't mind using mint

But

[hot blade]

you don't use MINT?

🥀

[jade musk]

I used too did it get better

[hot blade]

basically required if you want to use mods

[elder spoke]

wouldn't that prevent doing promotion assignments together in a team?
since the last mission is different for each class

[jade musk]

Oh why so

[hot blade]

all my friends have it too so nothing changes

[jade musk]

I'm really weird so it kinda feels like wrong to use mint to bypass approved restrictions a little :3333

[hot blade]

ease of use, less jank, no bugs with reinstalls, easy updates, no restrictions

[elder spoke]

the og mint kinda lacks a lot of functionality
but there are forks that do it better

[jade musk]

Link

[lament charm]

most of the aproved and some requiredbyall mods become host only req you can use far more mods unlike the 50 mod limit

[hot blade]

it's a coop game it doesn't really matter. only "cheaty mods" i use are things to make the game harder (spawn in 20 bulks bc i was bored)

[jade musk]

I guesssssss Oki :3

[elder spoke]

you can go on the mint github page and click forks and browse those

[jade musk]

Oki doki

[elder spoke]

don't wanna get in trouble potentially

[jade musk]

Meow

[jade musk]

Oop

[hot blade]

also it fixes beard physics for some reason

at least it did for me

[lament charm]

i meant for stuff like custom or buyable missions and revert em discharge

sandbox and spawn menu also works as client only tho

[hot blade]

also MINT lets you use mods that should be verified but aren't for some reason (glares at "red minigun tracers")

[lament charm]

most important at least for custom difficulty players, it becomes host only depending on the difficulty if its pubbable

[elder spoke]

well, almost

[hot blade]

yeah i don't have mods that are required by all or ones that change the game too much

only thing that does change a mission is speedster for faster molly

[lament charm]

i've been working on a dreadnaught's only difficulty with custom made Dreads it's hell

[hot blade]

sounds like """""fun"""""

[lament charm]

only playtested it solo so far it is fun. Difficulty heavily favors scout and dread kill builds no CC builds needed

[jade musk]

If you have overstimulation issues like me and want to try the m1000 get this mod it changed everything

[dreamy thicket]

reminder for myself to read what lobbies I am signing up to, accidentally joined a modded lobby with insane spawnrates and spawnpools with a trio of red-starred dwarves
(we survived with my un-prepared self somehow)

[dense ether]

Sounds fucking awesome, ngl

[dreamy thicket]

It was, admittedly. The experience was incredibly wacky and even bunkering was adopted to help focus damage on one lane.

They also buffed the ammo pools to actually handle getting hit by a sudden bulk detonator (or three)

There also were the occasional Nemesis', variants of enemies both in and not in the current build, Sentinels without the Dreadnought...

Oh and also had to deal with a Korlok nest.

[dense ether]

Hahaha!

Man, i'll need to keep my eye out come to think of it

[pastel ivy]

Hi, is mod.io working right now? Couldn't fetch data, the mods page just doesnt load. every mod is disabled. Logining via web browser didnt help either

[elder spoke]

I was able to get on the website, and it shows my subscribed mods

so looks like it works

[pastel ivy]

website itself is working, but if im trying to open it from DRG- nothing happens at all

sadge

[elder spoke]

can't you just subscribe to mods through the website?
I used to do it that way

[pastel ivy]

already did that, doesnt work

drg says that 0 mods are installed. i think it cant sync with mod.io for some reason

ill try to reinstall it

nah. still no working

[elder spoke]

do you have any custom launch options on steam?

or are you launching in safe mode?

[pastel ivy]

only those:
-high -window-mode exclusive

i think ill use mint if its still working, thanks for help

[elder spoke]

it most likely will

I use a fork of it and it treats me well

[pastel ivy]

yay, i just fixed it!
i have added drg.mod.io and g-2475.modapi.io to my vpn list

[fallen mango]

Once you play the game with the Gangstar paradise mod you can't play without it

[steel solar]

Can someone make a mod that makes this song play on loop whenever you use Driller's drills https://youtu.be/k3CtbHTMpiA?si=UhggfRpZnlXjBxm0

[plush oracle]

A while back I mentioned wanting the Neo-Tekya framework paintjob on other weapon frameworks in the #suggestions channel, and I was told to mod for it. I only just now got the Cosmetic Restriction Remover mod, which seems like the exact thing I was looking for, but while it has way more options than I even expected it to have, it doesn't seem to have seasonal framework paintjobs as an option? Is it a different mod they were pointing me to?

[languid grotto]

@silent wren there is a mod that lets you play with 5 or more players

[silent wren]

what its called my lovely sister?

[mortal wraith]

is there any third person mod?

[lament charm]

it's aptly named "More Players Balanced" oops replied to wrong person mb

[lament charm]

No, go play survivor i guess

[dense ether]

Pff fair

[mortal wraith]

there is one

theres a mod

[languid grotto]

nah s'cool that guy was a jerk

[lament charm]

the response i got on top of checking Mod.io and CD2 Discord.
"no, iirc its a pain to make because many weapons fire based on where the weapon is pointing not where your camera is
or something along those lines, among all the other camera related problems"

[jade musk]

@muted beacon make a mod with your best ideas id download it

[muted beacon]

I wish a mod existed that let you make basic stat change overclocks tbh.
Like let me put blowthrough on GK2 or up the direct damage of hurricane without having to have a PHD in troubleshooting why modding doesn't work.

[mortal wraith]

first person isnt for me

nah im just joking

but u CAN get third person somehow

[proper cloud]

-# activate windows

[lament charm]

Here got this msj from other discord.
there is, just not a combat usable one. just vanilla 3rd person mode used when you dance or die
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/third-person-vanity?_q=third person vanity#discussion

kinda buggy. I just use Twerkboard if I wanna go third person for some reason while in-mission.

[slender ledge]

hey, does anybody know what mod called where it does improve the camera when downed?

[dusty holly]

I think it's called Better Spectator

[slender ledge]

yeah, that's what i was looking for, thank you!

[worn topaz]

if i get an 8player mod setup, will my friends all need to set them up via mod.io, or will it prompt them to download as they join?

[rugged raven]

Good day - I've stopped supporting mods and I can't connect to mod.io in the Russian region. If it's not too much trouble, could someone help me with my problem? Thank you in advance.

[elder spoke]

wdym by "stopped supporting mods" ?
also read this conversation, it might help you #modded-drg-chat message

[rugged raven]

I encountered a problem where mods wouldn't download from mod.io.

[elder spoke]

oh, ok

if you use a vpn, then try doing what that person did

[rugged raven]

I don't use a VPN, but even with it enabled the game won't connect to mod.io.

[latent remnant]

only the lobby host need it, so dont worry about your friends, if not mistaken they will auto download like a temporary version of it or smth when they joining your lobby. Me and my friends only need the host to use the more player mods and the rest just join in

[slender ledge]

i also had that problem several weeks ago, and the best option i could find was downloading a 3rd party software called "mint"
https://github.com/trumank/mint
it completely disables mod.io API (if i'm thinking right) but you will get an opportunity to run the mods offline

also, if you haven't got oo2core_9_win64.dll and put it alongside with mint software, you will always get that type of error every time you try to install the mods

[crisp vault]

i don't get it

help

D:

[serene kite]

if u google "createprocess() returned 11c7" u should be able to find some solutions. its not just a drg/mint thing, it can happen with other games. to quote the summary from google:

The "CreateProcess returned 11c7" error means your Windows operating system is blocking the game or application from launching. This is usually caused by Smart App Control, strict antivirus policies, or corrupted game files.

theres also a typo in your -disablemodding

[upbeat geode]

do any of you guys have it happen where your armor paintjob keeps switching to a random one despite what you set it to, either when starting the game or getting into/finishing a mission?

id have either skullcrusher or order of the deep as the paintjob on my gunner but the game keeps switching it to gsg guardian or supporter

[shell inlet]

check your skin color selection as that used to sometimes become an armor color and override

[upbeat geode]

thats what does it?
ill check in a bit though since i started a mission

[upbeat geode]

is there a way to fix it
i dont think ive changed from ruddy on my gunner for a long time

[rare stratus]

question, how exactly do 'sandbox save' files work in modding?

[dusty holly]

check the pinned messages for details about the mod categories

[proven stirrup]

So I woke up this morning and there's a discrepancy between this mod's: https://mod.io/g/drg/m/glyphid-exploder-sfx-john-cena-prank-call#description site categorization and the in game categorization.
The site says that it's auto-verified because it's cosmetic (which is how I've been playing with it thusfar). But now when I load it up in my info screen it says that it's a sandbox mod but doesn't make me duplicate the save when I start a lobby:

Am I missing something?

Could this be a rare non-glyphid bug?

[honest fractal]

Hey guys, a newbie question. How do I uninstall the mods?

[lofty root]

Only MCR that I know of. Which blows because it’s actually too much content for me.

I’m also having issues with the random mission generator mod where I roll missions in the Caustic Mire and Sponge Grotto biomes that don’t exist and it crashes the game. https://mod.io/g/drg/m/rmg#description

This being bad because I like to close my eyes while smacking the dice to completely surprise me on what gets rolled.

[green owl]

According to the mod creator its no longer possible to have all biomes be available at once because the amount of biomes available at any given time has a hard-coded maximum now ig. There is a mod called "Custom Mission Selector" which allows you to build your own mission with any combination of mission type, warnings, side objective, etc, but it hasn't been updated for S6 yet so no ossuary depths / heavy extraction / scrab nest / pitjaw colony https://mod.io/g/drg/m/custom-mission-selector

Otherwise MCR lets you reroll the available missions, idk why there isnt a mod that lets you do that for the vanilla game

[shell inlet]

Because the vanilla game fails abysmally to sync mission data when you do so, causing clients to effectively be unable to play.
I spent over 3 years trying to make systems to resolve this and only recently got it to work consistently by replacing official map gen code.

This should still work and is not the one that I made: https://mod.io/g/drg/m/expanded-mission-map#description

[green owl]

Ah, interesting

[shell inlet]

The other reasons why there isn't a standalone version for map rotation is because it breaks assignment mission sync so the host cannot choose client assignments and it also gets routinely disabled by the game as GSG added something to turn it off fairly regularly if someone joins the lobby. It also used to not be customizable in any way so it was always rotating on every map view or not at all.

[potent vine]

If non mint then you can simply unsubscribe (unsure)

[slim meteor]

hi

[jade musk]

Hello

[spice oyster]

Rocks and stones :)

[proper cloud]

time to play massive content revise for another few months

[wet drum]

Are we allowed to port stuff like models and enemies into drg? Or will that raise copyright issues?

[lime forum]

yaay :)

[cursive pumice]

.

[wet drum]

hallo?

[sly echo]

has any mod come out for Rogue core?

[rich meteor]

https://www.nexusmods.com/games/deeprockgalacticroguecore those are purely comfort mods (for now) that dont change the game at all

give it time and there'll be actual mods

g

[twilit rose]

i downloaded the overheat crosshair mod the other day, and since then i've deleted the game and reinstalled, verified game files integrity, gone into the mods folder on my steam thing and deleted them, unsubscribed from mod.io and the beard/physics stuff is still bugging

what is going on ???

[sly echo]

cool stuff. hope they eventually make more QoL mods similiar to normal DRG. got 44 installed lol

[toxic solstice]

My friend lobby invite button isn't working, and the servers aren't working. What should I do?

[kind jolt]

is there a mod that removes the keyboard ui prompts? In this case im using controller with mouse gyro and it flickers between keyboard ui and controller ui during play. I tried a steam deck button ui mod and it still changes depending on whats going on

[signal wolf]

I need some help to add CarriableComponent + CarriableInstantUsable to an existing actor at runtime. I'm trying to make Space Rig barrels pickable by destroying their InstantUsable (the Kick prompt) and adding the carriable components via AddComponentByClass in a manager blueprint. My code runs, confirmed with a sound cue, but the barrel still only shows Kick. Looking at BP_Gem and Enor Pearl, carriable objects have a SphereComponent with collision profile Useable that the interaction system traces against. The barrel already has a UseCapsule with the same profile but it was bound to the original InstantUsable at construction. Does CarriableInstantUsable need to be explicitly linked to that primitive, or does it find it automatically? And does AddComponentByClass even fully register with the interaction system on actors with a native C++ parent class like PhysicsBarrel?

[shell inlet]

Yes, the restrict to collider variable needs to have some sort of primitive component used otherwise it uses all colliders as valid interaction prompts (if applicable).
Add component by class should work but I would just add the component directly unless you are doing it through a component which cannot instantiate other components for actors outside of that specific node.

You can also disable bUsable on the usable component so that the prompt doesn't show for kicking and take your input.

[signal wolf]

Thank you, that is very helpful info. New to UE blueprints and learning by doing

[shell inlet]

Destroying a component on an actor has to be done by the owning actor itself, using an actor to destroy a component on another actor is not supported by the engine to the best of my knowledge.
So say Barrel Cutie cannot destroy SM Barrel on Barrel 01 unless Barrel 01 has a function to destroy SM Barrel that Barrel Cutie can call.

Not sure if the nomenclature is correct, been a while since I did anything with barrels but I know cutie exists and is the green one above the drop pod. 😅

[signal wolf]

Yeah thats the one, BP_Phys_Barrel01 is the others in space rig

Thank you for the help, gonna redo my nodes a bit now 👍

[shell inlet]

The game might crash upon pickup if you do not disable pawn collision on the barrel capsule collider before it gets picked up since it would be inside the player with the default carriable offset of 000.

Carriable components cause picked up actors to rotate to some specific rotation that cannot be modified afaik and they always revert to a 3d scale of 1 once dropped, so you have to change capsule half heights or box extents and their related model to match your desires at 1x scale instead of just making it smaller.
There is a workaround by binding to the On Dropped or On Picked Up events though so you can modify scale and rotation as needed.

[signal wolf]

I thought about that, found some scale and rotation info but haven't gotten around to it yet. First thing is to be able to pick up the barrel even if it's blocking the view, then adjusting the viewport

[shell inlet]

Unfortunately the carriable offset specified in the carriable component does affect the 3rd person visual too unless you manually handle changing of models depending on carried state for other players. So it may look great in first person but others will see it floating far ahead of you.

[signal wolf]

Hmm okay will have to look into that too. I wanted to do some trolling in the space rig to my friends with it so having it float far ahead or away isnt good. But still first part is actually picking it up, gotta focus on that

[shell inlet]

For sure, just wanted to let you know before I rest. Feel free to drop questions here, the modding server, or maybe message me directly and I will try to help out where I can in terms of knowledge at a later point.

[signal wolf]

Much appreciated! Gonna look into the beer mugs and BP_Spacerig_Spaceball as they're in the Space Rig and not for InitCave like the heavy objects to see if I can find some more info there as well to compare. But your tips were very helpful, thanks again

[shell inlet]

The Space Rig uses a different physics handling system for actors found within it iirc. So it disables physics even on things like the spaceball goal when taken past some arbitrary box extent around the Space Rig hub area.

While other fake physics actors like barrels seem to work more reliably. Not really sure why the carriable objects have issues. The space rig beers crash the game in a cave due to applying the game instance beer effect iirc.

Or wait, no . . they crash when thrown from what I remember.

[signal wolf]

Is it a InitCave/InitSpacerig thing?

anyway gonna get back to it, again thanks for all the help and explanations

[muted fox]

A place for users to discuss modded games of Deep Rock Galactic.

[celest jetty]

first

[muted fox]

not really

[celest jetty]

did you call it mod discussion cos it was only discord mods allowed to post

[muted fox]

read the first post for an explanation of the name

[wicked spoke]

barrel armor

[ruby vault]

I heard the update is now out on experimental? How can I play on the experimental branch?

[dusty lantern]

Just going to point out, if anyone has any mod-specific questions, it'd be best to discuss that with the author on the actual modding server.

[misty creek]

Throwing shade at the official server smh /s

[mortal otter]

oh hey i'm unmuted here

what a surprise

[muted fox]

cool, thanks for letting me know it needs fixing

[mortal otter]

noooooo

[pale crescent]

Finally can cruse the server with modpics

[muted fox]

ooh, right, I forgot that one. one sec. thanks for the reminder

[glossy hatch]

Regarding the first pinned messages, should there be a link to the modding discord pinned here too?

[muted fox]

there you go, #modded-gallery is up

[unreal quail]

There are some rules in #welcome-and-rules that could use updating I guess.

[muted fox]

there will be in a bit in one of the other channels to come, but they're not complete atm

[glossy hatch]

Alrighto

Rip tater, y’a got even more work now

[muted fox]

eh, not by much

mostly it's just going to be getting people used to using these new channels

[glossy hatch]

4 more channels to babysit

[muted fox]

oh it's more than 4

I made most of these channels months ago, just haven't finished what I was intending to do. Procrastinating

[scarlet obsidian]

M O D D I N G

[muted fox]

ye

experimental is up

on the io site?

#modded-gallery

?

it just has to still follow general server rules

you know, minus the no mod bit

[pale crescent]

Mod support or the thought of dwarves in bikinis?

[glossy hatch]

For the most detailed mod support I’ve seen so far in any game

[pale crescent]

Well, factorio exists

[glossy hatch]

Not anymore

[pale crescent]

But DRG has a progression system so yea, far from the most trivial support needed 🙂

[harsh pewter]

Just give me some cool sound mods and I am happy soul.

[muted fox]

but with how many chins, and will the chins have jiggle bones?

[glossy hatch]

5 chins, minimum

[misty creek]

But how can you be playable, Mr. Anderson, when you have no model?

[glossy hatch]

You make it, obv

And make him as whiny as possible

And now that we have mod support, time to wait for epilepsy visual support 😔

[devout trout]

"epilepsy visual support" hm?

[muted fox]

people with epilepsy have problems with all the flashing lights in the game

a few of our more regular members had to stop playing because of them

[glossy hatch]

Yeah :<

[muted fox]

more accessibility options would be a very good thing for this game, between that and color blind modes

[small horizon]

i thought we had a photosensitive mode? does it still not do enough?

[glossy hatch]

It doesn’t fully work

[small horizon]

that sucks

[glossy hatch]

It does say it’s still in WIP

[dusty holly]

hopefully it comes fast enough

[glossy hatch]

Yeah

[dusty holly]

also yay, new channels. Good luck mods

[muted fox]

newish

[small horizon]

resizable text beyond chat would be awesome

also, to speak about mods, the dysacell battery mod is perfect lmao

[dusty holly]

I'll need to take a look at all the mods now

[small horizon]

there's a lot of good 'uns

[harsh pewter]

If anyone needs colour blind options for DRG, Win 10 has them that works in the game.

I tried it and it's rather nice.

[dusty holly]

my first choice is probably going to be painting molly and I don't know for anything else

[dusty holly]

nice

[small horizon]

painting molly is a bit buggy but when it works it's awesome

[pastel nest]

how? plus show screenshots curious

[dusty lantern]

and that's only half of them, there's still a bunch of mods that haven't been uploaded yet

[dusty holly]

it's mods, I expect it to be a bit buggy

[glossy hatch]

Imagine a world where bugs aren’t buggy

[pastel nest]

I meant ingame ^^

[harsh pewter]

This works ingame.

Is what I meant.

[pastel nest]

I meant what does it change ingame? 😄

[glossy hatch]

The colors

[devout trout]

😆

[harsh pewter]

Play DRG in grayscale.

[small horizon]

oh I know, don't worry. I've been in the modding discord for a while

[harsh pewter]

Challenge.

[small horizon]

im excited for them all to pour into mod.io for everyone to use officially

now I need to stop procrastinating and actually make my mod ideas

[pastel nest]

Just had a quick look, I'm amazed how comfortable it all is. Seems very nice. Idiot friendly. Perfect for me.

[small horizon]

it's very smooth

[harsh pewter]

Fak.io

[glossy hatch]

but clearly, the gnome chompski is the best mod so far

[small horizon]

I have discovered that you can make molly consist of maggot flesh

so she undulates and looks fleshy

[glossy hatch]

huh

[dusty holly]

how about no

[small horizon]

it's disgusting

[dusty holly]

eeeew

[glossy hatch]

Oh that’s the radiation effect?

[dusty holly]

🔥

[muted fox]

I like it

lookit dat wiggle

[glossy hatch]

If you slap it would the wave come back?

[proper quarry]

200 mods and not a single one removes the pickaxe slowdown effect, you bastards actually gonna force me to learn how to do this modding stuff, aren't you?

[glossy hatch]

Do it

[unreal quail]

Pickaxe slowdown on attack is a balancing concern; it was added to make sure melee-centric builds don't get out of hand. There was a Slayer mod back in U32 where slowdown was removed but you only had your pickaxe.

[proper quarry]

I just want to try it and see how it was back in the old days, cuz I didn't get to experience that

[muted fox]

no slowdown was fun, but completely broken

the game is all about ammo management, and that made it a joke

[small horizon]

just kite and mine bug faces

profit

[muted fox]

yep, that's what it became pretty much

[glossy hatch]

Which is lame

[stable swan]

Oh that reminds me

There was that mod that the dev's showed off once where it displayed a bar on your gui when reloading

to help you reload cancel

[unreal quail]

Samamstar has cancelled it for now because he's rewriting it (or something along the likes of that).

[stable swan]

mm

Also, unless i'm mistaken, it looks like we're still missing most of the more vanilla difficulty increasing mods (haz 6 extrapolated from EDD, haz 5 regardless of player count)

[dusty lantern]

Yeah, the author has been away for a while

[dusty holly]

I'm a bit surprised that a mod changing grenade count to 8 for all is flagged as "Approved"

[glossy hatch]

Hrm, that oughta be fixed soon

[dusty holly]

same for the upgraded doretta

[dusty lantern]

approved for progression, not approved for vanilla lobbies

lobbies running those mods will be marked

[dusty holly]

fair enough, there was no guidelines on that

[glossy hatch]

I mean, that’s pretty close to the sandbox level

[unreal quail]

Examples of mods that would fall into Sandbox are mods that change rewards or mission payout, and mods that unlock in-game items.
8 grenades isn't exactly Sandbox by definition, neither is Upgraded Doretta.

[dusty lantern]

SANDBOX
Examples of Sandbox mods would be any mod that changes rewards or mission payout and mods that directly unlock in-game items.

Sandbox will be the default category for any Mod uploaded to Mod.io. You are free to use any Sandbox Mods with a Modded Save Game. You cannot use your Regular Save Game with your main progression when playing with these mods. When you have Sandbox mods enabled you can only join other servers with Sandbox mods.

APPROVED (As in: Approved for Progression)
Examples of Approved Mods would be more challenging or alternative game modes, changes to weapon stats, and mods that moderately alter gameplay elements while still retaining progression in line with the regular game.

You can use Approved mods along with your Regular Save Game, meaning you can still earn XP and Resources for your regular progression while using them. If you join a game that does not have the same Approved Mods installed as you, those Mods will be disabled. Likewise, other players will automatically download the mods active in your game when joining.

VERIFIED (As in: Verified for Base Game)
Examples of Verified mods would be QoL mods that do not impact gameplay, audio or visual mods that improve accessibility, cosmetics and SFX mods that you'll only experience yourself locally, and localized versions of in-game graphics.

You can use Verified mods along with your Regular Save Game. These mods will stay active even though you join a host who does not have those mods installed. Other players will not have to download those mods to join you. In effect, Verified mods are only active for you and do not alter the gameplay of any other players.

it's in the patch notes

[proper quarry]

nah, powerups are still way in the approved area, not sandbox at all, based on the description

[glossy hatch]

@muted fox that might be a good thing to have pinned too, to avoid pointless debates of people not understanding what the categories are

[muted fox]

reeeeeee

[glossy hatch]

<3

[stable swan]

I wonder if any significant portion of the playerbase will take it upon themselves to enable all the slightly beneficial approved mods they can find

[unreal quail]

I wonder if this is going to be a ghost town in a few weeks ;)

[glossy hatch]

That's sounds like a thing you will be doing

[stable swan]

not necessarily motivated by wanting the game to be easier, but because you can

[glossy hatch]

Or can you

[stable swan]

I'm not trying to advocate for or against the inclusion of balance-changing mods for progression, I know there are benefits or costs for both sides

I just wonder

I really have no idea

[muted fox]

depends on if people feel like talking about mods here or not

[glossy hatch]

Who knows and who cares

[stable swan]

Well, it matters right

[muted fox]

considering how many people would bring up mod stuff while it wasn't allowed, I think it's at least a good idea to have these channels to give them an outlet within the server now that the devs have opened up the experimental branch for mod support

although knowing people's usual inability when it comes to finding the appropriate channel, some are probably gonna continue to use the main channels instead of finding these ones -_-''

we'll see with time though

[glossy hatch]

Good luck mods, we love y'all

It's definitely gonna have a few moment where Mod and Moderator will be confused

[chrome quail]

👉👈
But drg is already perfect what mod could I possibly want

[dusty holly]

funny mod

[small horizon]

squeaky hammer

[devout trout]

Does anyone know how this mod is supposed to work? I downloaded it but I can't find any settings for it 😔

RGB all the things! This mod adds options for cycling light colour and/or brightness. Light cycling can be randomised or synchronised across all lights.

[small horizon]

check to see if you're missing any dependencies

my molly painter wasn't working until i got some other framework mods

[dusty lantern]

check the mod page for dependencies listed

[devout trout]

Those don't download automatically?

[dusty lantern]

currently there's a bug where the game won't auto-download deps

[devout trout]

Ah.. That explains a lot lol.

Give me a second 🙂

Now it works yup! 😄

Love it 😂

[dusty holly]

nice

[cobalt dune]

this is new

[dusty holly]

yep

[cobalt dune]

me like

[toxic sapphire]

Mods

[small horizon]

turns out the bugs with the molly painter were me forgetting to disable a secondary dependency like a doofus. works PERFECT now

[dusty lantern]

what was the issue?

[small horizon]

I was a doofus and had both the legacy drglib/bp stuff and the current bpmm enabled at the same time, causing duplication and overlapping of a lot of elements

[dusty lantern]

ahhh right

[small horizon]

nothing you need to worry about, esp when dependencies become auto-dl'd

thanks for the amazing mod(s) btw!

[dusty lantern]

cool, good to know, just in case someone else runs into the same problem

no problem!

[misty creek]

Finally, you don't have to confine yourself to overclock ideas in #suggestions , you can have all the fun in the world discussing mod OCs

[exotic token]

Lmfao Duracell battery packs for the cargo crate is a good mod

[small horizon]

it's so good

they even go in like those batteries do IRL

[exotic token]

Kekw detonator

[small horizon]

im a big fan of boolo blast

[smoky pine]

dang, the Pogs O' Gold mod changes the picture to the new and much less iconicv PogChamp

brilliant concept though

[pale crescent]

There was the old pog version before

No idea why that was used

[light zodiac]

Fabulous bugs is my new favorite mod ever

[exotic token]

Can I filter the hats and beards

I want them all to have pumpkin heads for the full Halloween experience

[dusty lantern]

sadly no, it was planned, but time didn't permit

[exotic token]

Alright

I’ll be waiting on that for the Halloween extravaganza

[buoyant orchid]

Why is there a red legendary border replacement mod

Its already red??

[small horizon]

redder

[buoyant orchid]

[pastel nest]

it's a redplacement mod

[exotic token]

I want a mod that turns the neurotoxin grenade into a gurken shuck

and I say gurken shuck every time I throw it

[heady sleet]

I also want this, Ill make it today.

[proper quarry]

do tell when you are finished

[shell inlet]

There are a lot of mods that were made but are not on modio, lol.

[heady sleet]

Yea its going to take some time transitioning hundreds of mods over.

[ebon juniper]

We got a modding channel! Wahooo!

[exotic token]

yeaa, modding!!!!!

[weak maple]

Yeah i got a few more mods im too lazy to upload

Actually its more like im too lazy to make a thumbnail for it

[dusty lantern]

could just use a placeholder in the meantime, I used the server logo for most of my mods lol

[graceful sluice]

dude the people commenting on the steam 34.5 announcement give me a headache, why can a normal person not understand something so simpel, its like they did not even read the post

[warm pulsar]

You get used to it. It isn't exclusive to steam nor that announcement in particular.

[small horizon]

Steam comments are concentrated doses of idiocy, avert thine eyes always

[north phoenix]

I enjoy scrolling through Steam comments for the hottest of takes.

[muted fox]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-homer-simpson-nerd-yelling-insult-gif-7884166

[unreal quail]

Any particularly spicy takes we might want to see in that thread?

[shell inlet]

I think that we had our fair share of opinions before it even went public here, lol.

Considering how our server exploded like 5 times due to the policies changing every 2 days.

[copper ember]

Guess it's time for me to learn umoddel and work on that nexus remodeling

[jolly trout]

Any news on a Xenomorph mod?

[small horizon]

be the change you want to see in the world

[obtuse light]

While you are at it, make also a mutator where nexi spawn things other than swarmers, tx

[heady sleet]

This ^

[copper ember]

yeah nah my idea was to see if i can mix the fossilised xenoforms with the current nexus model and basically make it so that it spawns parasites instead

So that basically instead of "cloning swarmers" the nexus is actually a parasite nest made from a husk of an infested glyphid

adding to the gruesome level of the game

[shell inlet]

I already have stuff in the works for brood nexus variety, similar to my mutated bulks.

[small horizon]

that's metal af

[blazing steppe]

just a quick question: does modding disable achievements?

[shell inlet]

No

[blazing steppe]

bruh ok

[obtuse light]

https://tenor.com/view/curiosity-curious-intrigued-interested-interesting-gif-14505707

[copper ember]

the only thing i am worried about is if the game is ok with custom models

[shell inlet]

It is, but takes time to setup for compatibility.

[obtuse light]

I assume it will end up in verified from the sound of it

[small horizon]

@hexed matrix if you mean right now, it won't affect you at all, since official modding cannot be done on the microsoft store version of the game

so any pc people you play with from xbox cannot have the mods

[shell inlet]

Official, yes, but you can mod that version.

[hexed matrix]

Ooohhhh okay.

[mental flume]

Anybody modding sound?

[small horizon]

yeah, like i said, the official modding update is for steam only

so it wont cross with xbox

[heady sleet]

According to lore the brood nexus replicates what it eats. Make it replicate whatever enemy it eats (or w/e enemy is nearby)

[hexed matrix]

I want to switch to PC so bad, but no idea what I’m doing XD

[shell inlet]

I believe that they plan on getting it to console since modio supports it.

[small horizon]

there's a pinned message in #xbox-and-windows-store that tells you how to transfer saves

[halcyon thorn]

First step is get a PC

[heady sleet]

Mod support will likely hit consoles soon after, modio is a cross-platform solution.

[hexed matrix]

Okay

[mellow isle]

Is there a mod that will let me poop in game

[misty creek]

Gotta say, so far the general direction of "this is X but super strong" mods makes me roll my eyes.

[opaque hawk]

Yeah

[heady sleet]

Wdym?

[unreal quail]

There's a reason why Unbalanced was the most visited (and downloaded from) category on DRG Github.

[mental flume]

How da heck, do I start modding vidia games, what you guys use to mod?

[heady sleet]

Mods do not need to be defined by balance or not.

[mellow isle]

Is there a mod that will make the DRG speaker guy shut the fuck up

[small horizon]

yes

[heady sleet]

DRG Modding discord.

[crystal bane]

why is https://drg.mod.io/fabulous-molly only approved?

[mellow isle]

Ok I love this

[heady sleet]

@dusty lantern Yea shouldnt this be verified?

[mental flume]

Okay, based. Where is the place people are putting their mods. Website-

[misty creek]

It sounds like spoiling your own fun to me. Being crazy powerful gets old quickly, and the base game feels weak by comparison.

[mellow isle]

We need a mod that allows the dwarves to spout "Yo momma" jokes as random phrases.

"Yo momma so fat, I shot her thinking she was a loot bug!"

[shell inlet]

We have a mod that adds like 170 voicelines to V.

[jovial axle]

The beards for bugs is the best thing

That is all

[heady sleet]

With mods you can do what you want, some people like crazy stuff, others like balanced stuff, others dgaf. You get to do whatever it is that you want to.

[glacial locust]

among us mod released yet?

[grave tinsel]

I would guess it's because it changes the layout of the Space Rig slightly.

[lime sandal]

So do we have to manually DL the mods and add them?

[misty creek]

I'll stick to very minor QoL mods, that's what I want

[shell inlet]

No, but we have Barrel Royale.

[jovial tiger]

Sus rig?

[lime sandal]

I just want a better flashlight

[shell inlet]

We have that.

[warm pulsar]

@muted fox Looks like the bot may be duncing for mod.io links?

[grave tinsel]

Fab Molly's most important effect doesn't matter to anyone but the client, but the space rig station for customizing Molly must be taken into account.

[late elm]

holy crap the spam in #modio-feed

[heady sleet]

Only the client can see it.

[shell inlet]

Doesn't replicate to clients.

[grave tinsel]

Well, "Approved" is still... you guys.

[lime sandal]

Where are the instructions on how to add the mods?

[dusty lantern]

I've asked the devs that, no response so far. It should be verified imo.

[grave tinsel]

I use Fab Molly. I know the color changes only apply to clients.

I'm just talking about the station.

[dusty lantern]

yeah, devs haven't got back to me yet

[small horizon]

there's a menu build into the experimental version's escape menu

it's labelled modding

[lime sandal]

OH, I guess I Miss-understood that

[grave tinsel]

I don't see why "approved" is an issue anyway. You can still earn progression with it.

[unreal quail]

Launch game, press ESC in the Space Rig, find the Modding tab there. Should be straightforward from there.

[heady sleet]

You could make it replicate to clients using sams trick, if it ends up being approved and all that.

[lime sandal]

gotcha, I miss understood that. I thought that might be for mods you already aded

I'll check it out

thanks

[dusty lantern]

The station or the material changes?

[earnest apex]

how to install these mods

[heady sleet]

With approved mods all players joining will auto-download the same mods as the host. This isn't ideal for cosmetic mods.

[heady sleet]

The station, but you might be able to do both actually.

[dusty lantern]

Clients can only use approved mods that the host has installed.

[grave tinsel]

This is true, but so far I don't think Molly has any other cosmetic mods and it causes no changes until you use the station to modify her.

[dusty lantern]

So you're forced to host just to use a cosmetic mod

[unreal quail]

It worked just fine as a client if the host didn't have it before, why do we have to go through loops now...

[heady sleet]

Right it should be a verified mod.

[shell inlet]

Nothing from Fab Molly shows up for anyone but the mod user, not the cabinet or garage or whatever.

[earnest apex]

is 34.5 already out?

[grave tinsel]

Ah, yeah, I see what you guys are getting at.

[small horizon]

it's in experimental

[warm pulsar]

#changelist-only-for-experimental-branch

[earnest apex]

oh

understandable

[lavish galleon]

Sooo.. question.

[dusty lantern]

Hmm. But the station wouldn't be intractable. I think pestering the devs is a better option here.

[earnest apex]

to install mods I need to use the experimental version?

[grave tinsel]

So when I'm standing on the cabinet with people who don't have the mod installed, they'll just see me floating in the air.

Excellent.

[dusty lantern]

yeah

[warm pulsar]

it's only on the experimental branch so yes

[untold yarrow]

the fact that i saw a mod that replaces 2 statues with statues of rick may made me want to smile ngl.

[shell inlet]

It'd be easy to make it replicate but that is just unnecessary.

[lavish galleon]

1. Is Nexus mods a good source for mods here, or is there a better location, and
2. are there any, what most would consider ** or very strongly recommended?

[warm pulsar]

#changelist-only-for-experimental-branch

[small horizon]

drg.mod.io is the official place

[lavish galleon]

(required), dono why it deleted that.

[dusty lantern]

nexus isn't really used, use mod.io instead

[shell inlet]

I'm pretty certain that Nexus Mods is unusable now if you want to play on anything other than sandbox.

[lavish galleon]

understood

[shell inlet]

I should probably go edit my mods on there . .

[lavish galleon]

since mods are supported, does that mean you can still progress with them?

[small horizon]

there's a modding menu inside the game for easy install, so just get on the experimental version and you can do it from there

read the patch notes that loan ranger linked you

[shell inlet]

Depending on their category, yes.

[warm pulsar]

Which are explained in detail in #changelist-only-for-experimental-branch

[lavish galleon]

k

[small horizon]

or in the pinned messages here

[unreal quail]

Verified/Approved: have progression.
Sandbox: no but feel free to yolo with every mod there.

[warm pulsar]

ooohh pinned messages

[heady sleet]

I suggest reading the steam announcement, it explains the categories well.

[shell inlet]

Time to go work on Support Pods since my other stuff is gone.

[unreal quail]

Also, why are "buy 1 beer ingredient for 10k credits" mods in Sandbox? It's not like they allow you to cheat your way through unlocking beer licenses.

[lime sandal]

because it changes the loop of getting a certain item to get the beer

it makes sense

[small horizon]

it would destabilize the beer economy

[heady sleet]

This doesnt cheat resources, it far more costly buying an ingredient. This mod should be in Approved.

[scarlet hare]

beer ingredients probably should be added to the resource trading

[heady sleet]

Think about how much effort it takes to earn 10k gold....

[unreal quail]

2 quick Haz 5 missions, give or take.

[heady sleet]

Its likely an error with the approver, ill tag it in drg modding.

[grave tinsel]

The only reason I didn't use support pods previously is because I couldn't customize the controls for calling certain pods in the last version and the default numbers conflict with my weird control setup.

Either that or I just couldn't figure out how to change the controls from in-game.

[lavish galleon]

Niiice.. cant wait to dig into the mods. Though i dont see a way to filter out the sandbox ones.

[dusty lantern]

you can filter by category

[lavish galleon]

aand it was me missing it! thanks 🙂

[unreal quail]

Yeah, Mod.io could use a better UI. That filter option is hidden by default, you have to click on Approval Category to expand it and see the options.

[pulsar blade]

Dont forget to write feedback to the mod.io crew

[mental igloo]

is this all bout mods then?

[warm pulsar]

https://i.imgur.com/lAwmkrD.png

[solid bronze]

Finally I can openly talk about mods rather than hint at them

[mental igloo]

well i'm out then, enjoy the mods, but this will never bring "me" joy, adios

[small horizon]

buh bye!

[vivid furnace]

yoo

mod chat

finally

[candid coyote]

Starship Troopers mod hype!

[vivid furnace]

how to open mod.io

im too lazy to read the announcement

[small horizon]

there's a modding menu in the esc menu

at the top

[vivid furnace]

oh ty

[solid bronze]

Think you are jumping to conclusions too quick but okay

[mental igloo]

?

[river zephyr]

Indeed XD And Fabulous Molly too, must have

[shadow fern]

is there a mod for more pickaxe parts?

[river zephyr]

It hasn't been categorized as "verified" though, only "approved" so you will have to host your games to use it, or join servers that have it installed

[shadow fern]

i hope so

[solid bronze]

darn

[lime sandal]

@river zephyr that's fine by me lol

also the starship trooper mod is amazing

I love it

makes haz5 playable

[toxic sapphire]

Well haz 5 is already playable... but yes, starship troopers is a good one

[lime sandal]

ok yea it's playable, but I mean fun

without it, haz5 is kinda annoying

[solid bronze]

I think it makes the bugs too soft I prefer just increasing spawns

[lime sandal]

it just makes it so haz4 resistances show up in haz5 + increase spawncap

that way haz5 doesnt feel so bullet spongy

[solid bronze]

Haz5 health feels just right to me

[small horizon]

same

[lime sandal]

to each their own

[solid bronze]

Its the balance measuring stick all builds must meet

[toxic sapphire]

Yeah to each their own. Haz 5 is fine to me

[dusty lantern]

at least we have those options now

[toxic sapphire]

Yes

[lime sandal]

I think my issue is that haz5 seems like the bugs have too much health for how much dmg they do

[solid bronze]

I will hop into starship troopers servers when no other ones have spots or are up over going to vanilla haz5

[solid bronze]

Gotta push your self to run and jump more to keep away

[toxic sapphire]

Yeah haz 5 is just a learning curve thing. You'll get there

[lime sandal]

I mean I have 1k hours in the game. I CAN do haz5 without too much extra effort. but I don't enjoy the game as much

[obtuse rock]

To anyone who's dug into the modding API, are there tools available to make a perk system rework?

[dusty lantern]

there is no modding api

this update only adds mod.io integration

[vivid furnace]

i would recommend joining the drg modding discord

[grave tinsel]

I think Haz5 values are fine with vanilla spawns, but Starship Troopers just leans in the direction of making the spawns way crazier for that Haz level, so I think keeping the Haz5 values in addition to all those changes to the spawns would be far too much. While still winnable, it would need higher rewards to feel appropriate at that point.

[solid bronze]

Okay I can get that, sorry if I sounded rude

[lime sandal]

Your good @solid bronze I'm not stressed 🙂 Just letting you know

[vivid furnace]

only thing hard about hazard 5 is slashers

[obtuse rock]

there should be a pinned link to the modding discord in this channel if the invite is open

[dusty lantern]

trijaws can be a pain in the ass as well

[grave tinsel]

Facts.

[vivid furnace]

that and maybe some mutant yellow birds

ill just send you the invite wimples

[solid bronze]

The priority targets

[neon cairn]

time to start using debuffs

[idle mulch]

could it be possible to have the gun models be like the ones in classic doom? where they are centered on the screen?

[grave tinsel]

Yeah, shooting at the right thing first is very important in this game. I love that about it.

[warm pulsar]

It gets the same treatment as every other community server. When the update goes live it'll very likely be posted in #fan-communities

[neon cairn]

macteras can be stunned/scared/frozen

[solid bronze]

If it doesnt exist yet I am sure it could

[vivid furnace]

its all fun and games until your at base revival health and a slasher stuns you

[neon cairn]

slashers have lots of vulnerabilities

[warm pulsar]

like bullets

to their face

[solid bronze]

I always go damage on the power attack on everyone for the surprise slasher

[vivid furnace]

what about when theres multiple

[idle mulch]

double jumbo shells to the face if im feeling a bit angry

[vivid furnace]

finally

[neon cairn]

there's one thing that's called AoE

[unreal quail]

Just use Dash and laugh in their faces.

[lime sandal]

bearded bugs is probably my favorite thing

[vivid furnace]

what if they sneak up on you

what if they are coming from all directions

[neon cairn]

I mean... it's very unlikely if you have headphones

[vivid furnace]

what if every bug was a slasher

[solid bronze]

rj250 away

[vivid furnace]

do slashers even make a distinctive noise

[solid bronze]

If they dont that wouldnt be a bad idea

[neon cairn]

I can hear even exploders make noises

[vivid furnace]

well obviously exploders do

[neon cairn]

and definitely slashers step much louder than those exploders

[vivid furnace]

i dont recall slasher having a noise that catches your attention

[dusty lantern]

it gets better, they turn into balloons when killed if physics is enabled

[vivid furnace]

i have never heard that or tested that

[solid bronze]

I hear the other bugs but i dont notice if slashers have a particular scream or scuttle cause there is always so many grunts

[vivid furnace]

yeah

[lime sandal]

that's amazing, but I'll stick with regular lol

[young sonnet]

Anyone know how to fix this? me and my friend installed mods but i get this when i try to join him

[vivid furnace]

i doubt your gonna hear a slasher when your fighting a haz 5 wave

[dry stratus]

Getting a little off track, no? This has nothing to do with mods

[neon cairn]

one slasher attack won't even remove your shield

what are you scared of lol

[vivid furnace]

we were talking about being at base revival health

they are scary on haz 5

and them stunning you

read the convo first before you join it

[dusty lantern]

totally fair! I wouldn't use it normally either tbh, it's just a good laugh every now and then

[warm pulsar]

Were your mods installed through mod.io or did you just throw some paks into the game files?

[young sonnet]

mod io

[vivid furnace]

mods in the pak folder just dont work

[small horizon]

the text tells you what to do. you need to swap to an non-sandbox save using the save menu in options and disable all mods labelled sandbox

[neon cairn]

on haz5 the worst enemy on low hp I'm scared of is Radioactive Praetorian which AoE is just... disgusting

[vivid furnace]

just says deprecated

[neon cairn]

compared to that slasher is nothing

[vivid furnace]

yeah that is crazy but thats only one biome

[dusty lantern]

they technically still work, but get auto-labelled as sandbox

[vivid furnace]

i do not remember the last time i went to radioactive

i dont even remember the biome name

[neon cairn]

On haz6 I also fear macteras sniping me in the air smh

when I try to jump between enemies

[vivid furnace]

slasher stun + trijaw is fun

[solid bronze]

Is modio up and running already?

[vivid furnace]

ye

[dry stratus]

@neon cairn@vivid furnace If your discussion about Slashers is going to continue, please take it to #drg-chat or DMs.

[neon cairn]

you can stun tri-jaw and slasher as well

[solid bronze]

Does it just put the .pak files in there for you?

[neon cairn]

Doctor, I just mentioned haz6 lol

[dry stratus]

On the context of Slashers

[vivid furnace]

thank you whoever you are

[dusty lantern]

kind of, the files are put in a different location

[vivid furnace]

its all automatic

u click like 4 buttons

easy

[solid bronze]

are they compatible with old .paks or do I have to update at some point

[dusty lantern]

C:\Users\Public\mod.io\2475\mods is the default location iirc

[dusty lantern]

it really depends on the mod, ideally you'd want to delete everything in your paks folder (except the game's main pak file) and sub to the mod on mod.io instead. Otherwise you'll be limited to the sandbox.

[solid bronze]

Okay ty for the answer, I just wanted to be lazy for my weapon skin mods but I will do the small work

[small horizon]

@solid bronze you're obligated to make your namesake a mod if you haven't already

[solid bronze]

It should be base game if RJ250 is going to take the ammo OCs lunch money like that

[dusty lantern]

there was a mod that gave the pgl a clip size of 4 or something, not sure if it's up on mod.io yet

[warm agate]

CVO gives 3 ammo capacity for PGL baseline

[small horizon]

this does not change your obligation

[unreal quail]

PGL clipsize, that is.

[dusty lantern]

ah that's the mod, nice

[warm agate]

can be boosted to 6 ammo/magazine

[solid bronze]

gotta learn to code now lol

[unreal quail]

You don't need to learn coding in order to make small changes like clipsize/ammo etc.

[solid bronze]

Just gotta find the right variable

And if the code has enough comments and stuff it may not be too hard I assume

[unreal quail]

It's not coded in. It's literally a single variable within the WPN file. Finding it isn't difficult either if you have tools.

[dusty lantern]

It's essentially bin editing

[solid bronze]

Oh its just right there

[chilly epoch]

hey

so

i dont think my game have the mods folder

should i just create one on FSD

[warm agate]

you don't

[dusty lantern]

you only need to sub to mods on mod.io, the game handles everything else for you (hopefully)

[chilly epoch]

oh

ok

ty

[idle mulch]

i am going to replace every gunshot sound with the bang bang bang from the kitchen gun skit and you cant stop me

[solid bronze]

Why stop there

Every noise

[idle mulch]

excellent idea

https://modworkshop.net/mod/17982 ive done it before for payday 2 and that was hilarious

[vocal jacinth]

Mmm, yes, modding.
Now we wait for the female dwarfs mod

[lavish galleon]

i doubt that will be a long wait lol unless you count the swimsuit mod i see.

[vocal jacinth]

Swimsuit mod's definitely a good pick while we wait

[lavish galleon]

im excited for maps and gamemode mods

[lusty ermine]

the first thing i see when i check on that server after a while

animugirl replacers for the bugs

[soft rover]

you know full well someone is going to make that

[vocal jacinth]

Lootbugs with anime girl wigs.
And big eyelashes.

[lavish galleon]

oh gawd

[lusty ermine]

[idle mulch]

bang steve to restore health

[vocal jacinth]

Wait
This means we can have a lootbug pet back on the ship!

[true edge]

Mods look cool can't wait to play

[lavish galleon]

Not seeing the Twitch integration mod. Wonder if that will appear lol.

[warm pulsar]

if a mod isn't listed on mod.io it likely just hasn't been uploaded yet

[lavish galleon]

i figured as much. Saw that mod in action a few times.. thats.. a good way to encourage subs and such.

by making it waay harder on yourself

[shell inlet]

I made a mod to pet everything a while back.

[lime sandal]

i need it

[idle mulch]

if there is a mod that can make the gun models position like this permanently i will play this game until the end of time#

[weak maple]

There is its not public yet as far as im aware

[idle mulch]

guess i need to learn unreal engine then lol

[lilac void]

Someone needs to make a mod that adds a radioactive bulk detonator into the game, like the crass detonator but it spawns volatile uranium instead. Or just make it turn half of the cave into a crater

[warm bone]

"Likewise, other players will automatically download the mods active in your game when joining."

I'm so happy this is a thing

No more bugs that come with haz 6+

Players couldn't repair dotty in my games but it was changed when people had the mod clientside

This should fix it

[warm pulsar]

Why I think dependencies should be integrated directly with the mod, but I digress

[dusty lantern]

I mean, yeah, but we'd have to solve version conflicts. It's just easier for mod devs to keep stuff separate.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[misty creek]

Man, I've got a million dollar idea

[glossy hatch]

sell it

[misty creek]

Make a channel for requesting mods.
You funnel all the discussion from here that's actually just "there should be a mod that X" into its own fenced off area, and
and
You make #suggestions-regulars obsolete because all the people requesting features from the devs will get told in #suggestion-discussion "that sounds like a mod, go ask there". And without #suggestions-regulars , #suggestion-discussion will lose its purpose too.
Create one channel, delete two.

[lime sandal]

I cannot express how happy I am with these mods and the modding support

[misty creek]

I'm being sarcastic and facetious, if the text doesn't carry

[small horizon]

you jest, but we'll probably end up needing a #mod-suggestion channel

for containment alone

[shell inlet]

We have a mod suggestion channel in the modding server, so whenever they allow us to link it . .

[glossy hatch]

definitely containment

[warm bone]

ive been in there for a bit

its a great server idk why its not in #fan-communities

at least

[shell inlet]

Somehow the biggest unofficial-ish DRG server, lol.

[warm bone]

yeeeeeeeeeeeah

[glossy hatch]

cuz memes

[warped lagoon]

No

[weary flax]

Is someone going to mod the poo gun to shoot brown?

*goo

[halcyon thorn]

Mod Idea: loot bug has a % chance of being a nuke when you shoot it

[sharp cargo]

Kamikaze loot-bugs

[kindred valve]

Mod that allows us to pet bosco and molly

[hoary phoenix]

Hi, quick question: Is there anything like an API/global overview of functions etc? (Something like this, it's the API for the Source engine https://sourcemod.dev/#/ )

[dusty lantern]

There's the UE docs, I guess

The game itself doesn't have a modding api

[hoary phoenix]

Hmm alright, might be something worthwhile to look into setting up

[idle mulch]

Scout.Weapon.M1K.setDamage(69,420);

[hoary phoenix]

It'd be a pretty huge project to do this though. But Dwarves stand strong united so we might just pull it off :)

[idle mulch]

if im not mistaken i think the mod support update just brings modio integration to the game for automation of mod installation

[hoary phoenix]

Ah fair, so just player side stuff for now

[idle mulch]

dont think a modding api other than the game's code exists

[warm pulsar]

Here's my recommendation after observing many different modding projects over the years. Start small with something manageable then work your way up over time. Don't immediately jump to the large project, you'll never finish it.

[hoary phoenix]

Yeah exactly, get the base done first

[dusty lantern]

correct

[barren snow]

so i cant join someone its saying that i have mods i need to delete but i dont have them and im losing my sanity

[dusty lantern]

marked lobbies, mod browsing, etc.

[dusty lantern]

are you subscribed to any mods that are marked as "sandbox"?

[barren snow]

let me seeeee :c

i have them off rn

[dusty lantern]

have you tried switching save? if/when you're using a sandboxed mod, the game requires you to make a new save file

[barren snow]

how do i do that

is it that he has a mod that i need to have to join?

[dusty lantern]

options -> save menu

you should see a main save

[barren snow]

thx id kiss you if i could

saved me 5h of crying

[dusty holly]

alrighty then

[onyx pumice]

how do I install mods?

[dusty lantern]

esc menu -> modding -> install mods button

[onyx pumice]

where do I go from there though

[dusty lantern]

it should load up the steam overlay, which should bring you to the mod.io site

[glossy hatch]

when you accept the modalities, it should open mod.io ^

[dusty lantern]

from there you can sub to mods, and they should get downloaded automatically

[glossy hatch]

then you click on the mod you want, and subscribe

[onyx pumice]

I've tried subbing to them

[glossy hatch]

and then you go back in your modding tab and apply the changes

it will reload your spacerig and your mods should be active

(U34.5 ISNT LIVE YET BTW)

are you in the experimental branch?

[onyx pumice]

yeah

[glossy hatch]

alright

have you applied the changes

[onyx pumice]

I can't, they don't install

after I sub

on the bottom of the screen it says I need to connect steam, I'm assuming that's the problem but when I click on it it doesn't bring me anywhere

[glossy hatch]

its your steam account on the top right?

Nerodero

[onyx pumice]

yeah

[glossy hatch]

have you tried turning it off and on again

[onyx pumice]

one sec I think I can fix this myself

[viscid burrow]

Dam the mod ui looks good 👍

[onyx pumice]

alright yeah I got it thanks

[idle mulch]

doom soundtrack haz 5 lesgo

[unreal quail]

Would you like to get copyright sued? Because that's how you get copyright sued. Besides, we've had this discussion on the modding server before the whole thing started, and Demellion's Doom music pak was in the gray area the entire time - I'm not sure mod.io will even accept it.

[idle mulch]

to be fair it is on mod io lmao

[warm pulsar]

It's distribution without a license. Mod.io is at risk.

[bright ember]

Wait, is using copyrighted assets not okay? I read the terms of use and was a bit unclear about that.
Some of my mods just straight up replace weapon sounds with ones from other games. Should I get rid of those?

[primal void]

is using copyrighted assets not okay?
Do you know what "being copyrighted" means? Cause preventing others from just taking it and using it elsewhere is sorta the whole point

[unreal quail]

Yeah, I just glanced at Mod.io list and was surprised to find it there. To be fair, this is something devs themselves need to figure out with Mod.io and then clarify to modders or it's not going anywhere.

[bright ember]

Yes, I'm aware, but the mod.io page is already full of mods that do exactly this.

[primal void]

Then they are at risk of the copyright holders taking action against them.

[warm pulsar]

Using others as an example as to what's ok isn't a good excuse. My recommendation is to create your mods using original or open source materials. Closed source materials if you have explicit permission to do so.

[primal void]

They being both mod.io and the mod creator, and maybe also GSG but I'm not a lawyer

[idle mulch]

had a similar issue with payday 2 mods when they got big, what happened there was modworkshop.net had admins/bots approve all new mods before they were hosted

[bright ember]

Unfortunately, what others do is one of the only sources of information I have. There's the TOS, but I can't read legalese at all.

Besides asking here, that is.

[proven hare]

hello, how does one set up the twitch thingy

[amber roost]

There’s a guide in #viewer-interactivity on the DRG Modding Discord. (Not here yet)

[dusty lantern]

the twitch integration hasn't been uploaded to mod.io yet

[proven hare]

why do people keep telling me its a thing and then suddenly everyone in the discord says its not avaliable yet

strange

Maybe its very new?

[shell inlet]

It has been around for a long time, but modio is the new and only way to use mods without getting sandboxed.

[amber roost]

Sorry, by “not here yet” I mean there’s no guide yet in the official discord for it. Official mod support hit the experimental branch today, so you’re likely to get some mixed or confusing messages if you chose right now to ask. 🙂

[proven hare]

makes sense

thank you all for the clarification

❤️

so in other words I cant use it? Or i gotta download it from this "modio?"

[barren snow]

sooo i have a mod and the games saying i dont have it and if i see if i do by checking thro it, it saying i do have it

[amber roost]

If you can wait a week, I’d wait. Anything you set up now will likely have to be redone when 34.5 launches

[proven hare]

ok thank you

[timid silo]

Any of yall have recommended reading material for learning to mod drg? I wanna make a tiny mod where the flashlight doesn't light up your 1st person arms & equipment. I like seeing the environmental lighting play of my viewmodel, but I want to keep my flashlight on.

[glossy hatch]

I recommend going in the drg modding server for more specific help for crafting mods

[timid silo]

ah, didnt know there was a dedicated server for that

[glossy hatch]

its unofficial

[timid silo]

ty for the info.

[glacial locust]

somebody please make a mod to make the drilldozer stop crying

[glossy hatch]

there is one already

[dusty lantern]

you're in luck, it already exists

https://drg.mod.io/sound-qol

[glacial locust]

wow

😍 😍

ty

[glossy hatch]

that one mutes the vampire effect sound and betc's screaming when she needs repair

[unreal quail]

It also mutes the Drilldozer sounds, so you get 3 in 1. All those have been requested by streamers I know at some point, so I just made a single pak.

[shell inlet]

Would be fairly simple to do, I did it before when working on Laser Sight.

[timid silo]

That gives me hope. Its such an inconsequential thing that bugs me

[tranquil hearth]

I looked at the CVO balance notes

[nova basalt]

Gotta say I really appreciate that doc with all the rationale for the various changes in CVO. Really looking forward to trying all those.

[tranquil hearth]

Really? Persistent plasma needed a nerf?

[small horizon]

@jaunty zenith make sure you have the dependencies for fabulous molly downloaded as well

[warm agate]

it was the best u34 TCF build btw

[tranquil hearth]

It was still pretty meh overall in terms of damage

[warm agate]

maybe because you shouldn't use it as a primary source of damage?

[tranquil hearth]

I know

It’s more of a “less bugs will make it through this hole” tool

But i always thought it was a bit weak even at that

Especially because no weapon mods seem to affect it

[warm agate]

it's "kill 10 grunts with TCF and injure following 15 in a next x seconds"

[tranquil hearth]

What if I don’t want to run TCF?

[warm agate]

TCF=EPC

[tranquil hearth]

I really like plasma burn, and I wish persistent plasma worked better with more things.

[warm agate]

The whole point of persistent plasma is that TCF-explosion causes it. It's literally the only way to directly improve already the strongest mod and mechanic DRG ever seen.

[exotic token]

and since the downside doesnt affect the damage of tcf, it is in fact a straight upgrade

its a fair change

while persistent plasma is agreeably not a direct upgrade in the case of normal charge shots, it has no effect on tcf explosions or any other part of the weapon

reading through it though its not like persistent plasma was even changed

it was just tcf that was nerfed

[dusty holly]

could have nerfed TCF instead of nerfing an already niche OC, no ?

[exotic token]

thats the thing im not seeing a direct explanation for nerfing persistent plasma?

maybe i need to check the smaller patch notes

because im not seeing any reasoning after the tcf nerf

my assumption is that its kept in the faith that the tcf nerfs presented mean it isnt an issue

[dusty holly]

I don't now if the balance mod nerfed TCF but from what's been said, it doesn't sound like it, otherwise why nerf persistent plasma

[warm agate]

TCF is nerfed too

[dusty holly]

alrighty then 👍

[exotic token]

what im reading is that the damage type was changed to disintegrate, reduced fire damage, and the heat per charge and normal shot reduction was moved to plasma burn

what is the persistent plasma change, then

[warm agate]

PP relatively became stronger after our TCF nerfs

[dusty holly]

I can understand that

anyway, I know I'm not going to play that mod so I'm out of this conversation. I mostly wanted to understand the change behind it.

have fun people 👋

[exotic token]

ye

[manic isle]

👀

[heady sleet]

Why can't I see Modding menu in the ESC screen?

[warm agate]

Not everything got an explanation because all changes accumulated for a very big amount of time. As an example, all the TCF work was done in june

[dusty lantern]

are you definitely on the experimental build?

[exotic token]

that's fair

[warm agate]

It's really hard to reproduce all conversations and arguments behind them

[exotic token]

i presume the actually full list is in the shorter patch notes

so ill check there for changes i missed

[heady sleet]

I'm afraid I didn't fully understand this modding stuff. What is the experimental build? Some kind of test build?

[primal void]

check the pins in #experimental-discussions

[dusty lantern]

yeah, so it's a public test build

[heady sleet]

Thank you guys

[jaunty zenith]

Does progression carry over to the main branch from the beta branch?

Only using non sandbox mods

[exotic token]

no

because youre allowed to cheat in this branch

with the cheat terminal

[dusty lantern]

save files are separate on the live/experimental builds
