lul I didn't know fireattarget worked on just enemies
I knew you could fire projectiles
@floral furnace auto-aim bullets thank
I only just realized the infinite Grimm mod makes the fight infinite, not let you fight him infinite times with scaling difficulty lol
we could add autoaim but I want ttacco to approve anything bfore I do it.
really makes you fuckin think
refighting grimm infinite times would be less interesting imo
yeah
int compare is a terrible fsm action
True
@hollow pier is this you
how long did you fight him before you realized
platypus has got a ironsight, but it's shitty implemented. Map is not huge so I wouldn't e
int compare is like the thing in TIS-100 but in a high level language
I was thinking this because of how Grimm child upgrades phrases it in it's setting
platypus has got a ironsight, but it's shitty implemented. Map is not huge so I wouldn't e

eeeeeeee

EA SPORTS

It's in the game
pawn to e5 haha
Brb
that's a bad play

no one tell him

nice latin
my little pony
horse horse
ceaseth
Equus is a genus of mammals in the family Equidae, which includes horses, donkeys, and zebras. Within Equidae, Equus is the only recognized extant genus, comprising seven living species. The term equine refers to any member of this genus, including horses.
equus is the latin word for horse
a beautiful heart
faithful and strong
sharing, kindness it's an easy feat
and magic makes it all complete
stop

you guys know roses are in the rose family, rose species, and rose genus?
ur mum rose genus
i should revert ptkyr's pfp
horse
are they tho
oh i see
56 give 753 a pfp that isnt 753
no
Very sad
wow finch r u a sophomore
this is disgusting
Rosa
also I wonder if 56 is gonna revert my image
revert mine
?
@dusky lion high school or college?
?
high school
wow you are young af
no u
56 literally a fetus
you assholes have basically hacked the pentagon and discovered new quantum particles by the time you got out of your mother's wombs, meanwhile I can't think of a damn good thing I did 5 years ago when I was a sophomore in highschool.

implying I did something good
u finished sophomore year in high school @compact sedge
you existed
5 years ago I was starting sophomore year
sophomore is 2nd year
that's hardly an accomplishment
dying an infantile death at 15. ha I wish.
me irl
no
I will not revert
sad
surprised 56 didnt die
wow i didn't even have to revert u
hey guys i know this isn't a spoiler free chat, but i haven't yet beat sophomore year so can we keep spoilers to a minimum
ez

:LUL:

time to hit the books
I love :zot
ur mum dead
u
oOF
nice
i see
no i do
also time to wait 3 days at most for somebody to beat pantheon 5 all bindings with darkroom

very good joke
imo
did anyone end up beating vanilla rad on darkmod
i remember someone mentioning that
@leaden hedge did u

how can you not beat it after doing absrad lol
yeah just dodge the attackslol
absrad dark mod
made it better https://gfycat.com/EthicalScrawnyGavial
is this death's gambit
but harderer to dogderer
yes
no, this is patrick

should I do horizontal swaps too 🤔
also the way I have it set up lets me move the offsets whenever
nah that would be too fair
i only make fair mechanics
make it random. One of the beam has no contact damage, but there's no way to tell which one
and they all kill in one hit
@floral furnace https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/481264619135041546.png?v=1
both
blursed
clessed?
no
@compact sedge probably make the auto aim into a charm upgrade
~~also is it bad that thinking that i have to start using distance formula or whatever math shit just to fire at the enemies position ~~
do you want autoaim as a feature because there's some awesome enemy position detection code in grimmchild, which I later added to redwing because ofc I effing did.
Also, semi related question but do you want bullets that curve towards enemies?
originally i was SLIGHTLY deviating to some sort of realism but, that would be fucking boring so why the hell not?
i mean its a fucking game about insects how would adding guns even add some degree of realism
wtf you want realism in your gun mod?
also ive been thinking about sean's suggestion about the gun use for mobility, and i want to add that as well
flying flukemarms from the flukenest charm, that auto aim in on enemies.
That sounds more logical.
well that was sort of part of the joke, i mean the fact that its a game about insects but theres realistic guns in it
ok but tbh being propelled upwards by bullets >>>> pogoing with nails
like its so fucking dumb, hence thats somewhat why i wanted to add it as well /shrug
also uh balance wise I think curved bullets shouldn't be added to normal bullets themselves but to the fireball spell so that it costs soul to use.
oh yeah i was thinking of doing something like quake or half life, charging now fires a big ass bullet that propels you farther only thing it needs is bunny hopping
yeah that makes sense angle
also wdym you added it in redwing for grimm child? oh wait you just mean you added the grimmchild function INTO the regular redwing spells
misread that
yeah. it's a gud function.
Jump
oh wait
dash off of the wall rather than the floor
ln + mop maybe
or is that the area where there is no wall
this tunnel is so garbage can i not find a skip
TTacco play some iconoclasts and see how they handle the gun mechanics there imo
Wow nice gradow is doing my job for me
Don't complain if it's a shitty job when it's done then
so, i recently beat the original game and decided to install some mods. What are some recommended mods to begin with? is the Modinstaller compilation on moddb safe to use?
I mean it's as safe as the modinstaller on the website
since it's made and uploaded by the same person
It's made by us, so it's as safe as we are
oh, as said first time im venturing into Hollow Knight modding.
that does not tell me much.
but at least im a little less paranoid.
so my computer won't get std's, thats good to know.
and I never have sex so ya know.
See? That's like 101% safe
hey ladies, do you want a complete nerd with zero experience under the covers? yeah didn't think so.
Kutku you can think of it like this
the installer is open source
you can find its source on my github
and if you don' trust that the version online is simply what's in the code, well, you have the option to simply compile it yourself
yah, i found the github version but wasn't sure that it was the same as on moddb. and got kind of paranoid when the installer simple extracted a file named lol.exe
lol.exe is actually a copy of modinstaller which downloads au.exe which is the auto updater
yeah, I should probably rename that, shouldn't I?

it gets auto-deleted when you run the installer tho
why does it need to make a copy of itself tho that's what I don't get
so it shouldn't be a problem
it doesn't, AA
windows is shit
so you can't alter a program while it's running
also it didn't delete itself on linux
so here's how it works:
installer downloads AU and closes itself. AU downloads lol and replaces the installer with it (and closes itself). Installer deletes the AU.
why does lol.exe need to exist
if you can just:
run AU
close modinstaller
delete modinstaller
download new modinstaller
run new modinstaller
why does lol.exe need to come into play
nah, ty m8
good thing is, au is hosted on github
so I don't need to edit xmls and all that jazz
56 send me one of your ancient installer versions
like, not that ancient
one that has update features
that reminds me
I have to get back on working on blackmoth
@turbid arch you asked about mods. What kind of mods would you like? I can't make random recommendations, but if you're looking for something specific...
i guess something to spice up the gameplay. alternate playstyles or something like that.
ok
in that category we have
Lightbringer, which you probably know of
Blackmoth
Redwing
seen it, thought it was outdated.
Any essential/quality of life mods?
Randomizer(2) and Enemy rando alters the environment, but don't do anything to the knight
and Chaos mod is meme
ooh randomizer sounds fun.
well, there's qol mod
il commit these to memory (write them down)
but it's not that useful for non-speedrunners
it allows for menu-dropping and (some) cutscene skipping
56 is working on skipping all cutscenes
wdym not that useful to non speedrunners, it shuts salubra up at full soul so thats pretty much worth it on its own /s
there's also that
if you want to make your life hell, there's Hell mod and Darkness mod
if you want some spiced up boss fights theres Infinite Grimm, Mantis Gods and Lost Kid Lord
oh yeah, speaking of QOL mods
really loving the subreddit today
there's also Fast text (self explanatory) and enemyhpbars, which adds hp bars to every enemy (bosses included)
I thought youve gotten past the "never go to the subreddit" rule already
dlk needs his daily fix of people being stupid and petty and stupidly petty
isn't that the internet in general?
you don't need reddit for that.
Also thank you for the recommendations.
np
also, yeah, that's the internet
but here in the discord is the land of fantasies
no one hates anyone
we're all friends and love each other
and we're all nice to each other
except firzen
that in itself makes me somewhat scared.
we will see.
k
if you need any help, please ask in #archived-modding-help
Mystery is already one of us
are we all nice to each other though
wait what i don't even have a modder role
i didn't sign up for this
but you're a modder in your heart
Mys is more of a modder than me.
tbf AA isn't a modder and he's literally made more for the modding community than I have
smh you inspired me tho gradow so take that for what it's worth
you and NKG being such a damn good boss

no you and NKG. it's a boss where you fight two enemies at once
Infinite Nightmare God Gradow
Redwing CP2 new boss revealed!
one who can dash around everywhere and the other a modder.
make me like a hacker enemy that changes reality
or rather
oh boi, hear me out
make redwing's final boss be
the blackmoth

woah
and it uses grubbers and stuff
when it uses its grubberfly ability you can only hit it with fireballs.
yeah! Because you need to dispel the darkness or some shit
and hitting it with shade spells heals it

also shade dash/sharp shadow
that's actually be pretty cool
and I could add a redwing final boss in blackmoth
so we'd be like Pokemon
I have 0 idea how to make bosses in mods or I would.
so how do you gain height
jump
jumping?
updash
as soon as I'm happy with blackmoth, I'm gonna dismantle KDT's fennel and use the heck out of it
there's nothing else
yeah if ou are trying to do the tunnel thing
i think kdt managed to import a boss from a different game to hollow knight
that route may work out
just pogo at the peak height of your jump and at the end of the saw cycle
he re-made the boss to be tbh
is there like some dash into dj meme
well, in blackmoth, if you updash you can gain momentum and go flying
so maybe, ptkyr?
you gotta dash into a record table
you can't even jump high enough to pogo off the saw at max
i guess double pogo with qs
oh aight
this tunnel is the worst part of pop
why is the pop actually well made PepeHands
the tunnel is hell
:pepehands: global when
7 hours of pure hell
feels like it's slow no matter what you do there
you can dash straight to the second saw with sharp shadow
and you dont have to djump
its p fast
yeah that's the only fast thing
but skipping it would be soo good
on the alternating saws?
yeah i pogo
i pogo the left saw, and wj from the left wall to the right
i think pogoing the left saw then pogoing the right saw might be faster
massive timesave if the wall was a bit lower
I built a thing to replace the soul bar but how do I fill it with fire that doesn't look awful?
and also TC sorta animates the soul bar and idk how they do that..
make it lava
good
this looks actually awful idk how to do this
shade it
stop following ptkyr's orders because they're awful as usual
you could maybe do with assets from in game
i still think it needs shading
steal the regular soul bar but resprite it
^ that's the easiest one
that's well not exactly what I'm doing but sorta what I'm doing in essence
I looked up how to make cracks in krita and... apparently people pirate this free drawing program.
but why?
Drawing instead of procedural generation lol
https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/4.1.1/krita-x64-4.1.1-setup.exe Guys I found a free cracked version of krita. don't tell anyone it's super secret and illegal.
I just downloaded a lava texture. need opinions
needs more orange ngl
idk i think the lava doesn't really fit for what you're going for
since you're using fiery spells you want some sort of fuel right
i was rather thinking go full fuckin metal and use actual infection as your fuel
the soul bar has that kind of... glowy part of it
set the place ablaze
is that a pizza mick
I tried making it more orangy
now it looks like a pizza
wait mys has a point
hold on
this is your chance to promote and shill sunny d tbh
sentient pizza
it all makes sense, those arent sawblades in WP, those are pizza cutters
so uh where are the infection blobs in the texture dump
@cunning lagoon is this u
why did you put cheese under the sauce
cause sauce > cheese
chicago style deep dish
the cheese is the best part what are you talking about
not if you add pineapples on it 😎
the onion's the best part
oic
I haven't had a chicago deep dish for a long time
there's so much cheese under there. 
infection texture
I can even draw eyes on it if you want
hopefully better than these tho
👀

I'm never gonna be let into the elite HK artists guild discord server at this rate.
at this rate they are probably gonna put a hit out on me for how bad my art is

may i acq an invite
tyvm

question if you make a go that you want to instantiate that has physics on it, do you just add a physics2d or whatever component or
oh thats it ty
you're your welcome 
make
global
make it wrok
you heard him benji make it wrok 😡
wow he's done it
wow
youre my hero 56 i respect you so much great work

I'm DMCAing you

so, I'm trying to get how properties work
so.... there's this land, right?
and you can buy it
and then you own that land
and that land, is then your property
if I start a property as private GameObject lol {get; set;} and then do, somewhere random in code lol = HeroController.instance does it get a reference to HC or a pointer to it?
and you can own multiple lots of land like this
ooooh
and if you do, you have multiple properties
so like
no
can I own people too Mick?
get/set have an auto backing field
just so everyone knows florence will be knocking out my power so any issues with exaltation will have to wait til next week
and if I can't own people

well, yeah
should be a ref
you could do
private GameObject lol { get => HeroController.instance; }```
how is that different from what I'm doing tho?
I mean, sure, it's not getting it on construct
but I don't want it to get it on construct because HC is null
I need for it to not be null
IEnumerator ConfigureHero()
{
while (HeroController.instance == null)
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
_hc = HeroController.instance;
//more bad code
}```
that should be the same to be tbh
yeah, I figured
unless herocontroller.instance dies
and then comes back to life with a new instance
so if I do _hc.someBool = true; will it be the same as HeroController.instance.someBool = true;?
yeah, I have that issue, 56
but that's easy to fix
ye it should be while _hc is a ref to HeroController.instance
rn blackmoth only works on the first save you load, and if you s&q, you need ro relaunch the game for it to work
ok, nice!
ty
yw
I make all my mod components gameobjects on the GameManager
and they get destroyed by saving and quitting
so the hook is OnDestroy
huh
if you wanna move your mod from a Mod to a MonoBehavior I have some simple code for doing that
I think I can figure that out
Hey, is there any way I can add a text input on the game's interface a la randomizer?
I want to implement a runtime animation player for debugging purposes
I know how to do that second part
But I need the user to be able to input the clip name
Or select it from a list
That could also work

InputField is what randomizer uses
I think I like the list thing more tbh, and I could add the inputfield for filtering the list
Because you don't always know the name of the clip you're looking for
Ty AA, I'll take a look when I'm back home
But would that be of any use to anyone else?
Animation and sounds
Possibly even enabling/disabling meshrenderers
idk depends on how much more/less work it is for me to do that than create a simple gameobject with a simple component that animates it
sounds wouldn't be that useful since you can play them on the herocontroller at any time.
I mean, I plan on using it to redo the whole superdash fsm in code
So I need the anims and sounds
But fsm viewers are somewhat unreliable
For many reasons, including their usage of fsmgameobjects
So it would be nice to simply be able to play an animation on command
yeah the animations one would be useful but I'd have no idea where to start writing that kinda code.
foreach(Clip c in tk2dSpriteAnimator.Library.clips){
Debug.Log(c.name);
}
tk2dSpriteAnimator.Play("name");
is how animations are played via tk2d
tk2dSpriteAnimator is a component
if it uses unities animator you're SoL afaik
Is there a mod that saves Tiso, Cloth and Maya?

yes it's called Suck It Up and Move On
I WILL NOT.

anyways the way you can do it is
Or maybe at least save edit to do that
Maya?
- Cloth can be saved by not rescuing her in Ancient Basin in which case she will be in Dirtmouth, unable to face her fears and live unfulfilled
- Tiso cannot be saved, sorry.
- "Maya" can only be saved if you beat the Pantheon of Hallownest, since THK also survived his infection so that is the most likely way.
myla
lmao
i forgot
oh, the amazing infintite myla mod makes her unkillable
same
sorry i don't resort to black magic
but the only way you are stopping her from being infected is with some speedrun strats to skip a few key items that infect her.
all you are willing to perform is necromancy
also you can only get the first ending this way
Isn't there a way to save Cloth and she'll end up sleeping in Dirtmouth?
that's bretta
no that's worse
nope!
you can even dreamnail her and you can see she still regrets not getting her redemption
so left or right, she either dies fulfilling her promise, or she dies in vain because she is too scared
depends on whatever your sanity can deal with
I actually don't remember what I did
just kill them all lol
no.
https://gitlab.com/natis1/redwing/issues/4 just found a very critical bug with my code.
in all seriousness... the vanilla game needed a few more bug reports like this one tho

hornet being infected will only make sense if hornet in the hornet DLC works with redwing which... yeah no that's not happening
redwing's a story about the knight
What is redwing
what is this channel?
modding
well you answered your own question.
But what is this mod
who says it has to be infection that's good
instead, you could treat it like the Seer
like, everyone gets freed from darkness and remembers, and therefore ascends
so IMO the ending is wrong
infection isn't good
Redwing is the dreams of an infected vessel.
and your goal is to break that infection
wow spoiled
then interpret it differently
instead of breaking the infection you can come to terms with it
of course you die, but the pain fades away and the rest, well, that's up to imagination
there's lots of endings in redwing and there's gonna be more coming soon â„¢ but it's hard to work on endings when you have so much free time and nothing to procrastinate. it's much easier to make them when you can mod as an excuse to not do homework
which will be me in 2 weeks

wut it's true
well all right
if you really wanna make lore for your mod it's good to think about how you want to interpret this ailment
you could change the main dialogue sure but it would be fun to have your own twist to it
is it a blessing or a curse to be infected? what can be gained for it? is there a link with the higher being that created it?
I have an interpretation of it which is revealed to some extent through the dialogue but which will become more clear as I work on GM dialogue since GM takes place within the dream of the godseeker.
idk that I wanna say too much because this isn't #hk-lore (lul)
(why when I type #lor does #low-percent come up?)
w/e modders and speedrunners asleep post lore
u
More or less after the PK has established himself. The radiance starts appearing in bugs' dreams, ya know same as before. And essentially offering them the unity they had before- this isn't the infection but something more akin to what is alluded to by the big caterpillar- this I refer to as the Dream. The PK sees this as an attack on his kingdom and sets into motion the plan to create a vessel to contain these thoughts and the radiance. He gets his vessel, who fights her and consumes her.
But neither side wins this battle. The radiance is trapped within the vessel's body but the void of the vessel manages to corrupt her mind. This twists her thoughts and essentially subverts her unity. It is this corruption and the combination of the light's desire to control the land and provide unity with the hollow knight's goals: To extinguish the light, and to not think or feel that creates the infection. The infection is elements of both of these. It has the radiant dreams as before but the light of them feels empty and shallow and lacks in any clarity and brightness. The bugs become thoughtless because it was the knight's desire to not think. The PC too is somewhat infected, and if he wishes to break this must purify the radiance, or he can try consuming it.
ok there
for exaltation I tried to go lore-neutral that could- oh
Anyone know how to change the settings for the GrimmChild Upgrades mod?
it's where your save files are
there's a GrimmchildUpgrades.GlobalSettings.json you can edit in notepad or something
anyway all this text dump is why after balancing things a flower ending makes sense and is gonna be eventually added as soon as I get around to editing the video and building the scenes to edit.
is that in steam common?
it's also in pins
hm that kinda goes against the basis of what dreams are and where the radiance gets her powers from tbh
ah it's in appdata, thanks
Mys actually knows lore oh god.
basically they are the bugs deepest desire that the radiance exploits
by sating those needs the pale king tried to stop the radiance from appearing
by giving bugs a mind he could fulfill those dreams and therefore erase the radiance from the minds of his denizens
Nothing about that changes. The radiance isn't some pure being who doesn't use tricks to accomplish her goals. The idea behind her "unity" is to provide the bugs with an entirely fake dream world in which they are happy.
and this is why the PK constructs the vessel. he wants to keep the reign over the kingdom.
the problem with that was that the needs of bugs were absolutely unsated since pure desire still arose from it
lore
i'm more talking about the corruption part
but in modding 
Are they going to update the list of moods and their uses in the pinned #archived-modding-help ?
mods*
no
But the infected dreams are not this ideal world where all your desires are fufilled. they seem that way at first maybe but they are false. And they are false because of the corruption which affects the radiance.
rip
but wasn't reverting bugs to their basic forms her goal? i mean, she drives instinct of all things
Primitive Buggos
also we should probably dump this in DMs since now people wanna talk about modding and modders arent doing their jobs by telling us to stop the discussion and moving it to DMs
as per usual
begone
three way? think it was just me and AA
stay hella woke
I come back to see mystery sayin three way?
can we don't
nothing..
hal i can't believe you've done this


Y'know Ill have a three way with you guys any time. Don't leave me waiting Mystery... 
can u don't
Also 56, what did you say I was supposed to use to uncompile the files?
Redhat something right?
Hmmm, threeway, I know something that is better than three way
make a docker container
cease
of rhel7
use the centos repos iirc
clone the files there and modify
use pyinstaller to compile
and save the docker container so you can modify again easily
Why doesn't the github just have uncompiled versions already to make this easier 
idk 
@river eagle it does 
actually, do I even need to compile them again
yes
the .py files should work right?
wdym
What if I were to just use the uncompiled versions
or do they have some other formatting?
I mean the .pyc files are the compiled ones
and the .py are uncompiled
yet they work fine
what
okay looks like I'm seriously missing something here
What are you downloading that uses python?
these are the compiled ones right?
Yes
yeah and I can't edit them
yes
but I can edit the .py files
Yes
so what if I just don't turn them into .pyc files
But what are you trying to do?
delete the pyc and then modify the .py
might work
@odd jetty they're running zote off a uni server but the uni server didn't even have python installed at all so i pyinstaller'd it
it's just that the .pyc files have some codes the .py files are missing
wat
.pyccknn
who, why are you using a bot that runs with python and how do you only have pyc files
56, I went through every single .py files I could edit, and for example nowhere did I find the code fror the ;psa command
so it has to be in the compiled files
u fool
i dont see a problem here
Why not use a virtual env? o.o
virtual env didn't work
tried that
their gcc version is too low
and i don't want to recompile python
cause python won't run w/ a gcc version that low
you mean I should be able to find the code somewhere in the .py files?
The machine is windows?
it's an old ass linux server
I never saw a linux without python
same
it must be a old python
you probably can turn pyc back into py btw
Discussions
What about expositions ?
this is an old version though
pyinstaller
compiles things into binaries
so you don't have to have python to run a python program
It's just that I'm very confused why ;artpsa doesn't work 
I literally copied the code from ;psa
and yet
;artpsa
so I thought I had to edit the compiled files
Edit compiled files
same thing with
still says 107% even though I changed it to 112 in the data.py file
I even changed it to 112% in the init folder
Did you reboot the bot?
obviously
rebot the bot*
Well, why the virtualenv doesn't work?
lemme type out the error
inb4 'the error'
I already went through the error with Conrad
yeah it means you need a python compiled for that glibc version
e
can't you copy and paste that .so file?
no
I feel like conrad has no idea about how linux works
Linus Torvalds you mean?
So weird
@odd jetty so to get around it i used http://www.pyinstaller.org/ in a docker container so it'd make everything for the right gcc version
why python needs gcc
oh
e
you could use staticx
idk how pyinstaller deals with .py files
to be tbh
I just think that compiled python is quite weird
@river eagle is this u
yes, literally me in the pic
also I moved the data.pyc file from the directory
but still
So how much ram does zote take to run anyway?
moved and restarted?
yep it's now in the main directory
probably can't read it from there
currently both the data.py in Zote and in _ init _ have 112%
I mean I used the kill -9 command
hmm
and then tried using a zote command, didn't respond
why aren't you using like tmux or something with the bot
so you can just kill it with ctrl + c
instead of force killing it
and without admin perms...
no screen afaik
or no
that or screen was breaking
So, no sudo dist-upgrade? 
The server itself is running python 2.7 
aka useless
smh my head I should just host zote
except I'm not a mod so yeah that's not happening
could also host it but my internet is unreliable as fuck
I have a vps but it has a puny amount of ram (1GB)
ouh, how much do you pay for it
been thinking about getting a vps for ruby shenanigans
or rather, sinatra shenanigans since RoR sucks and I wanna test stuff
5 dollars a month but starting out they give me 10 "free" months for 5 dollars and I'm planning on, before that free trial ends, getting hosting through my linux user group.
that's not all that expensive dang
also is setting up a webserver with a domain like you have dependant on what VPS provider you have?
no
It's fine, this server is up 24/7h and it's free for me
like, does it just work or do you need specific requirements
if you have a VPS you get a linux VM where you are root.
and you have a public ip address
is zote restarted
that in theory doesn't change
now basically how it works is you get images of pre setup systems you can load on. I loaded on a basic gentoo one and updated everything and then installed nginx and setup the server with that.
then I just told my domain provider (namecheap) to point to that public ip that I was given and it just worked.
some VPSes don't provide images for certain OSes (so you're forced to use like debian or something, unless you wanna make your own image which sounds like actual pain)
some VPSes force you to use a certain kernel (bad ones, don't use any that do this, they are very insecure)
just avoid the ones that do these things and you should be good
i'll probably go with ubuntu since that's what i'm mostly familiar with...
every one should have ubuntu
all right, thank you!
idk what the difference is between ubuntu and debian when you don't have a gui tho
also yeah debian unstable is rolling
so i'll pick what's still commonly used and getting updated
and i quite liked kubuntu when i was using it on this ancient windows vista laptop
so i think i can manage with just a console with that
understandable
I stopped really following the differences between distros once gentoo consumed my computers I found a distro I liked.
i tried tinkering around with gento and portage isn't really that to my liking so i kinda forewent that
nixOS
n i x o s
yo angle what’s your highest score on grimmfinity?
pins?
on normal mode probably the one I got yesterday, 18k.
since I have never done the reworked normal mode before on non-onehit
oshyt
sorry mys but the scoreboard doesn't track normal mode anymore because of the 4 or 5 people who can survive it forever
f
except of boredom
no need anymore
I made it so the hits to stun caps out
free if you can survive it at the old hardmode's max speed which a couple people can.
but by design now
new hardmode tho
ain't free
and I still am not convinced a human can get more than 20k on that
Kurosh best player when
except like minor testing
i haven't played any mods since 1.3.3.7 was a thing
anyway mys I have two large problems with gentoo
- Is it takes a lot of disk space. Probably an extra 5-10 GB over other distros on average.
- building the kernel. genkernel never automatically copies config files over which is annoying, and beyond that there's no readymade kernel config files that you can use, unless you steal them from other distros like arch.
yeah i heard that was kind of a problem, having to recompile after every update
that kinda irked me too
kubuntu was pretty okay with that though, not as customizable and configurable as i'd have hoped but eh it worked
and it supported the odd setups i sometimes have
The biggest problem is making kernel configs by hand sucks when your only goal is "I want all the crap inside my computer to have working drivers for it"
isn't there a thing for that
auto something
i used it when i was compiling my own kernel
iirc no
not that I'm aware of
because it's like ok let me find the driver for x or y or z. ok so it's a network product so let me go into network, oh it's actually in usb drivers so let me go there and scroll through those
that only works if you ALREADY have working drivers for stuff
which requires you having already made a working kernel config
and the other problem with localmodconfig is it means you can't plug in any new devices
i remember having to get drivers for my ethernet connection which wouldn't work
so it tried to search up the drivers through ethernet
rip
which failed
so i got an sd card instead because usb drives wouldn't work due to some dumb reason
guess what
it needed a driver for that too

nice
@copper nacelle but see how even with your solution you need to steal a kernel from another OS. it's the same as stealing a kernel config from another OS. Gentoo should just come bundled with a kernel config that has everything enabled.
so the only way i got it working was to butcher my CD drive, grab the SATA data/power converter out of my main rig because i used a slim drive, grab another hard drive, put the drivers on that and that worked
