it's so cool looking too bad it was cut
@charred parrot does this remind you of the thing
oh god
LMAO
mornings folks
so i saw that saleh’s alive
he is prolly gone from discord because he didn’t finish PC
oh ye lazy remember when you were complaining about my sleep
4:20
how are you logging your sleep down to the second
I press a button for it
and google sheets doesn't accept MM/DD/YY HH:MM as a valid datetime
so I can't do maths on it
so I just keep the second I pressed it in
oh so its actually like time spent in bed time
its not like 30 extra seconds really makes a different
well I don't have a sleep onset disorder
quality 3 hours
just have an EEG machine on you continuously :^)
impossible
must be nice having a healthy relationship with sleep
unless i am tired
yes it looks healthy
thats why I go to sleep like an hour later each day
and sleep for a few hours multiple times a week
at least you tend to sleep like at least once in each 24 hour period
well I've not reset yet
it'll be next monday
and that'll be like awake at 11am, go to sleep 3am the day after so 40~ hrs
did your schedule get messed up recently or been like this for a long time?

although obviously I got forced to wake up for school / college
any staying up every day until i physically cant stay awake any longer cause otherwise ill just end up rolling around in bed for 3 hours before actually falling asleep gang
yes its called me trying to go sleep before 2am
I went to bed at 10pm yesterday cause I was exhausted from only 3hr sleep
still awake at 4am
relatable
if you use less artifical light and drink less caffeine you'll sleep easier
Ctrl+Shift+; ?
alt
Ah
I used to watch TV for like 3 hours before falling asleep, but lately i've been falling asleep within 5 minutes of laying down regardless of TV-ness
New pins for MapsForRando mod: What thinkest thou?
cool
Categories are Dreamer, Skill, Charm, Key, Geo, Mask, Vessel, Ore, Notch, Relic, Egg
Dreamer is split into 3 cuz that's neat
The pin will be labeled with what category is normally there in vanilla
i mean its not like I can just go to bed and fall asleep within 5minutes
I just know when I'm actually tired in a way that'll actually let me fall asleep
I don't feel a schedule sleepiness
So you can get a sense of what settings enable what items just by playing, and it's not all just an ass load of red question marks everywhere
I didn't really have a set sleep schedule either and plagued me forever
But now I'm forced to wake up at ass-o'clock with the kids
so I'm in turn forced to bed at a reasonable hour
they don't do anything at all for me
I'll sleep later and later each day
until I shut down from exhaustion
Have you checked out the uberman or other polyphasic sleep schedules?
if I've gotta wake up at 9am
it'll go 1am->3am->5am->7am
well can't go to sleep at 9am, guess I'm awake until next 1am
then as soon as I don't have a schedule I'll sleep like 18hrs to catchup
I can't really nap, or do short sleeps
I also have trouble falling asleep outside of 2am-8am
Yeah. It was rough to start, I was on 20 minute naps every 4 hours for about 3 weeks before I had to give it up for a different job
I can't nap during the day anymore now that I'm not doing that
i dont drink any caffeine
normally my pattern goes way off way faster
except the tiny amounts in cola drinks
The key is to stay up for 36 hours so that 20 minute nap definitely happens
but its summer atm, and my room is very small
the artificial light part though.. yea
so it gets way hotter at like 9am
during winter I won't wakeup before sleeping like 9hrs
and the schedule will go ham
with 28hr days
polyphasic sleep cycles sound cool but i feel like they would just fuck you up in the long run
It makes it difficult to deal with the world because nobody else uses it
damn my first message on this server 
Once you're used to it though it's not so bad on a personal level
i guess im here for like 5 months now
let me just go through all 2053 pages
You can't search by dates on mobile apparently
mobile discord doesn’t work
fastest scroll though 2000 pages of all time
im so cloose
Couldn't find user 003
?whois @safe hamlet
lame, doesn’t work with nickname
ah yes
next line is probably me
saying it isn't
oh wait, it was asked in the wrong channel
the oof
For everyone waiting on the edge of their seats, I finally have ta confirmation ™ of the 90 implications on my hw
this some sort of statemachine
Proof that math is just fsm
yes
🆙
mino PC when
he will DMCA it
dmca?
are the people in here too young to remember the DMCA arc of modding
arc
arc?
yeah it was season 2


also mino, is saleh just busy with life™?
you don’t?
do i ?
ok
very nice

theres
season 1: pre-api
season 2: dmca and api
season 3: revenge of the fsm
season 4: renaissance
season 4's been cancelled
what is the season of 5 months go
season 1 was basically 753 himself
renaissance 
revenge of the fsm
renairoomrandossance
HMM
whats that maggot emote
maggotprime

xeph emote
the dmca thing was
kein made original debug mod and "original" boss rush
but he quit randomly one day
and instead of leaving it up
he dmca'd the google drive
to remove them
LMAO
kdt did you sue it ?
galaxy brain move
kein where ar u
that was pre-api though
epic modder style 
i suppose api started a new age in modding
after the api , before the api
seems familiar
wait
kein was the guy who first messaged the modding channel
?av kein
yes
trolls modding and lefts ?
then from there to deaths gambit
he left deaths gambit so he must be somewhere else now
how do you guys found him
hes in the runic channel and discord api
i mean he pretty much jumps from indie game to indie game
probably hoping to get roles so he can scam people at some point
lol
i mean he got banned from a indie game subreddit for being toxic
no modding-staff role got added after he left
he had modder
but once he quit I got modding-staff
is it possible for another modder ?
gradow?
so there is only 5 modders ?
nah theres been more
lets see at most there was
56, 753, firzen, gradow, kerr, sean, wyza, me
I think all of those people have been modding staff at once
damn the modding channel's history is pretty interesting
there should be lessons about this in schools
was there any wars
no but there was subject verb agreement
no one cares about grammar anyways
it got destroyed :gottem:
i'll destroy ur object
simple present tense
:tentacles:
correct
fake grammar is not me thinks

ok
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYKEHLVD3TA god damn boi
that is really good
zaliant's music is really good
zaliant is a really good composer
let me try to get him back in the server
he keeps on talking to me about stuff he's made in like 30 minutes and going idk it's notgood and im like bitch.
don't
same
and ?
he doesn't wanna
damn
i will get him back in somehow
only one who could write music in modding is gone
make a gc w/ me you and him that's just both of us annoying the shit out of him
i mean
you can still dm him for music
nou
No you
hey sid let's make a hollow knight fangame and get zaliant to make music for it
it was my idea too
once
yes dating sim, i just need the art from you c:
teach me how to code and art and i will teach you nothing
sounds like a good offer
who drew these?
akagura drew the last one
ill teach you how to shitpost in modding for free
ah cool
hm
too many o
turkish
i see
what language is this
u mum gay
portuguese
that explains a lot
marmu is boring

the one turkish song i know is ishq kinara
isn't that hindi tho? 
it means love beach i think
hmm i should somehow bring zaliant back here
yeah literally means love beach. translates to the shores of my love
it's half in hindi half in turkish
yeah ik
thought so, i myself am a linguistic expert
noam chomsky himself
chomsky 😩
oh yeah fun fact my brother's going to visit turkey
chomskian theory is kinda dumb ngl
are you talking about language development theory of his?
why
yeah his theory of universal grammar
essentially that our brains are hardwired to learn languages a certain way
ehh i think it's valid
i mean
empirical data by psycholinguists has made it do a big 
ngl it's kinda like the whorfian hypothesis
which is that your native language limits your cognitive abilities
it sounds okay in theory
eeeeee if you go and test it and think about it for more than three seconds
psycholinguistics is dumb anyways
historical linguistics is where it's at
i mean some aspects of psychology are very controversial
freud
lol
exactly
freud studies the unconscious which is basically impossible to prove anything
so it's basically pseudo-science
essentially yes
but i think i like the theories of neo-Freudians like Jung and Adler(?)
idk if adler was one
prolly not
what who why where
make it thyself
i think the only class i enjoyed this year was psychology
because the teacher is awesome
i'm not as well read up on psychology as I am on sociology and linguistics so
the reason i didn't take psychology was our teacher sucked
understandable
jung is a big 😩 tho
the class was really easy, and that's the only class i payed any attention to because i genuinely enjoyed it
that's v cool
that was sociology for me tbh
what are you going into anyways?
compsci?
yea
maybe i don't really know
i feel like i should since i am done with my junior year
i didn't really figure stuff out till start of junior year
and you have all of summer
so anyone have any ideas for marmu?
maybe you should have paid attention in English
fight 3 marmus at once with no floor
reasonable ideas
fight 4 marmus at once with no floor

you are not wrong
radiance with marmu attacks

tm
all assets and sprites are in #art-discussion i think
english is indeed fake
ill just rip nkg's sprites off of there
what is english
@ krythom
sigh
i hate marnummmjm
you are right Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor !
search my message history for poem
aany ss
it's from a book
oh
I knew i heard it somewhere
🤔
...I spend a lot more time in the sanderson community than on the hollow knight community
why not both
cuz I'm trash at hollow knight 😛
bad*
I prefer Mistborn too.
Second era is enjoyable. Reminds me a bit of Discworld.
Ooh I see
read robin hobb
i cant tell if this is a typo for hood or not
Most people tend to have that opinion
the stakes are lower and as such there's less of an impact imo
i dont think the characters are as fleshed out as first era
this too
Kind of prefer the lower stakes, TBH.
Still not sure if friends finished Oathbringer. I may have to revive fake spoilers to motivate them.
Dalinar's backstory in oathbringer was really good
Yeah.
Fake spoiler though: Dalinar never forgot his wife's name. It really was shshshsh all along.
I havent finished oathbreaker yet either these spoilers are ruining it :/
Apologies, not my intention to actually spoil it.
is this stormlight talk i spy
No
gradow go back to homo maths
? I thought homothety and gradow studied different kinds of maths
I mean, Gradow is like 7 years ahead of me
what did he mean go back to homo's math then
gay
also that's not really an appropriate nickname for homothety i don't think
/ shrug
I dunno how you're even supposed to say it
hoe-moth-ity?
homo-the-ty?
So where do i start
homothetic transformation = an embiggening
nifty
@solar jacinth https://boscaceoil.net/
Cool
oops cult. had my nickname wrong
🤔
Do mods still work when your using steam on Hollow Knight?
yes
Yes
yep!
yes
thanks for all the yes' lol
everyone that said yes after me is reported
i mean, your computer probably won't work if you use steam on it
4 times the confimation
ur mum is steam
Ok.....
gottem
Gog

wowie, did you find the modinstaller?

needs a nosebleed
Weeb smh
All right 185 item locations to manually set the pin offsets on... Ready??? go!
aw shit i still have to do some work 😦 I can't just will it into existence
puprple
unreleased API version where?
busy being unreleased
ok that's fair... but
wdym

gh iata
if you mean the modding api, i have it built
Yeah I do mean that 😃
https://markoth.is-pretty.sexy/zHPyBUg.dll here, just rename it to Assembly-CSharp
I found the github, but if you're offering the goods direct, then I don't have to go to the trouble of cooking up the meth dll
Thanks double oh three
hi pretty lazy
It would be kind of nice to ever be able to update rando again
generally speaking
no rush tho, next version is broken af
Is the API ready to release rn?
how can i fix permissions on the mod installer exe on a mac
Yes, mods can be installed on a mac.
You can use the installer
To run the installer:
- Open the Terminal
- Type
cd $(dirname - Drag the exe onto the terminal.
- Type
)then hit Return/Enter - Type
mono --arch=32(Note the space at the end) - Drag the exe onto the terminal and then hit Return/Enter
If this fails with bash: mono: command not found then
- install mono here
- Open a new terminal window
- Type/paste in
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:${PATH}and hit Return/Enter - Repeat steps 2-6 above.
Move your exe to like .. your desktop
still denied
It's ready as far as I'm aware
I'm not sure if you released the newest version of rando with the preload stuff in it, but VS is throwing errors with the new API dll referenced in the newest commit of your rando
i have the option for mods but nothing is in there from the options menu
What errors?
downloaded debug mod and installed using the mod installer it says installed but nothing shows on the game menu under mods
This is the intended behavior
That menu is for mods that can be disabled
@shy cloak I'm just gonna go ahead and assume the errors are because you're missing this https://github.com/seanpr96/HollowKnight.SeanprCore/
how do i enable invincible from debug on mac
Click on it
Cheats -> Invincibility
wow i feel like an idiot now thank you tho
i thought i gave you the updated api
interestingly, seanprcore wasn't needed
did you reference it?
well that's dumb
VS you're dumb
All the projects I had open used the new API just fine
This one failed to reload it
vs is quite dumb
Question about ReflectionHelper.GetField; the instance bool argument, if I want a static field, do I set that to false?
Specifically I need to get List<RandomizerAction> RandomizerMod.Actions.RandomizerAction.Actions
Why would you need that?
So I'd use ReflectionHelper.GetAttr<RandomizerMod.Actions.RandomizerAction, List<RandomizerAction>("Actions") ?
ItemPlacements from the save settings should be good
But yeah that is how you'd use that
Oh neat okay
Looks scarier than it is
And also you're right; didn't realize that was public
Thank you 😃
I guess I can't help myself
but I find the construction of randomizer algorithms really interesting
so I've been idly trying to figure out how to do area + item rando in such a way that doesn't eliminate too many possiblities
and I think this would work?
Place areas
- Place first item at fotf
- Choose a series of accessible area transitions leading to an area with accessible item locations, and place these transitions
- Place area transitions at accessible spots randomly until there is only one open transition left
- Place a transition which opens up new transitions. If no such transition is available, add progression items until one opens, and place it. Put the progression items in currently accessible item locations, save all potentially accessible item locations with the given areas as the kth sphere locations, and save these progression items as the kth sphere progression items.
- Loop 2-4 until all transitions have been placed.
- Double-check that all transitions are accessible before proceeding.
Place items
- Begin placing items randomly in the empty locations in the first sphere, using the item logic and the same randomization procedure as item rando.
- Whenever a new item location becomes accessible in any sphere, pick one of the sphere progression items from a higher sphere and reroll its location from all empty spots in lower spheres, including its current location.
- Whenever a sphere runs out of empty accessible locations, move up to the next sphere.
- Fill the shops with any leftover items, and double-check that all items are accessible.
Holy poop
kth sphere
That's a lot of text
wut
it is, and it's terribly explained
why you talkin about S^k m8
I stream of conscioused it
people talk about spheres in randomizer as the set of accessible locations at a given stage in the logic, gradow
or I've heard it used that way in the past, at least
right
it should be radius, but sure
or depth
thinking of it as a graph, the set of accessible locations after n steps in the logic is the n-depth subgraph
I'm sure there is a reasonable interpretation where we could make each level the kth homology
eww
and missing items are holes
error
uhh
They seem a lot better than simplexes simplices, honestly
basically the same thing
true, but simplicial complexes have a lot of annoying requirements
"barycentric subdivision" is my trigger phrase
don't tell me I can't triangulate the torus with 2 triangles 😡
screen resetting in celeste to reset dash is a dumb mechanic
fsm fsming in fsm to fsm fsm is a fsm fsm
wait I forgot to take off my fsm goggles
it is though
it makes no sense
like wtf is causing madeline to get another dash
in the context of her world
is game
not everything must have an in-universe explanation
and that's fine
sometimes game mechanics are just that - game mechanics
not everything has to correspond to a diegetic element
not every cycle has to be a boundary

true math is when you find a way to turn everything else into math memes which only other math people get

the hidden ancient art
we all know they were elite memers for their time

this is a lot easier to do though
plus I already have logic for it
so I could probably make it in a few days if I tried
about 80
between areas?
I mean, the ones you want to randomize
yeah
I do need to modify what I posted earlier though. It probably needs a special condition for placing tram pass to unlock new areas, and unsafe transitions like left Greenpath need to be handled so they aren't locked out
unsafe here meaning inaccessible from the same area
assymetric?
wdym
I'm wondering what you mean by unsafe
one-way area connections are different
I mean 2-way transitions where the destination is otherwise inaccessible
e.g fungal => qg?
oh
QG <-> GP for example
the GP side is unsafe
but Fungal into Deepnest would also be annoying, for similar reasons except there the other direction doesn't exist
I thought you meant stuff like cornifer's room in Crossroads, if you enter from Shaman's transition
if you don't trigger the lever, you can "enter" through there, but not leave
yeah, that's a problem 56 will have to deal with for rr
it's easy
for areas, the only door is Mantis Lords, iirc
you just give everyone soob
and then they can oob wall jump to the other transitions
yeah, I think so, homothety
Emilitia probably also causes trouble
but obviously testing would require the mod already
no
pleassssssseeeeee
no


how
by coding, like everyone else
Step 1 is come up with a better plan than "primal asfhid boss mod"
please don't
that's not nice sid
sorry, i am a modder, gotta be toxic
how about multiple new bosses
i did the + reaction but you monka'd faster than i +'d
giant hopper, primal asphid, pale king, e.t.c
Pale king wow
the world is your oyster
There's like no art for that
why did you put a period between the e and t
what about cherry madness
idk
e . t . c
Idk dude at least it's not ect
it's et cetera
I see that all the time
cursed
same
et.c
hence you shouldn't ever say "and etc."
.etc
...e.t..c..
lazy.etc
and c
hows your art
what then?
it's gotta be like mino's quality
mediocre
show art
I mean
but i have a friend who is better than me
if you can convince people to code it for you while you provide the art, then go crazy
and i dont have art saved on dis comp
show friends art
ok
but I really doubt people will want to do this
^
because it's some serious effort
you never know tho
for little to no payback
people can't refuse the pleaaaaaesee
youtube content
but don't let that stop you, if you truly want it
haha yes
ok ill find a way
sweet sweet ad revenue
It depends on the quality of the art somewhat, because people are more likely to help if you've clearly put in effort
k thanks guys
But more realistically it'll depend on how bored whoever is currently in the channel is
Which is to say it's essentially random
if you have put some actual thought into this, how it'd work mechanically etc. and show the desire and effort to learn coding or code yourself
56 got bored, and we got PP :^)
then that already puts you in a better light
thanks a million guys
I will never help the second case, but usually will for the first
buy Hollow Knight Mod Premium for only $4.99 a month
to get access to modding support
?
where do I sign in
is joke
lame price

$4.20 a month
nice
same
$7.53
no
$753.5627003
753 is there a proper mod api for ror 2 yet?

yeet skeet
minecraft modding bois
👀
bring back ee
very important, yes
But ee is back already
people already brought back ee
that would mean you touched java, disgusting
Project E
yes
ProjectEx adds ways for your EMC network to interface with pipes and shit from other mods
I mean what's even the point of bringing back ee if it's not OP
It's ridiculous
what's ee
can you convert EMC to other energy types
Nah I mean you can pull items from it using pipes
oh
It can't be converted to RF or anything like that
I mean it'd be piss easy to turn emc to rf
Yeah, automation for stuff without EMC value
Nether star gen I sleep
yup
Rainbow gen real shit
he did rainbow gen
I mean
converting EMC to rf
or some other energy type
then easy infinite energy
I'm making some basic bitch shit
Piping items between inventories
It works but it's terrible
just wondering if you guys knew any gud programming softwares to use for hk
120 lines method on every tick
oh, sid, we never answered you
With a quad nested loop
ee is equivalent exchange, a very old minecraft mod
saw someone saying "only do art if you can do it as good as mino" bitch who said my art's good
that basically gives a value EMC to each and every item
i see
and you can use a transmutation table (I think?) to convert between items of same value
like, for free
you only need to have a copy of each item
so you get 1 diamond, for instance
and you can turn I think 8 coal into a diamond
Or 8192 cobblestone 
instantly
epic stuff
right
emc is all powers of 2 right
Good job 56
it was very difficult
yeah
ah
ngl, it was my fav mod back when I used to play modded minecraft
and you could use a philosopher's stone to turn items on the fly too
yes
There's a transmutation table item that you can use anywhere
why r u talking about minecraft on the hollow knight server
and VS basically
Don't need the philosopher's stone
This is more on topic than usual
yrdhtsi
ok
but, see my answer above
we usually use dnspy to see the game's code and VS to write the mods
what is a gud software to use for modding hk
I just answered that
idk about you but i write all my mods to a fresh dll from dnspy
is this pre-API 56
no you gotta write your api mods in dnspy
it's just the perfect move
aa2 did that
for like half of their mod
cursed
I mean, it's a power move
dunno if it is a perfect move
also
took me longer than I care to admit to realize who is aa2
hey just wondering
56 how similar is Rider to IntelliJ?
fairly
why
im new so how du i find the game files for markoth
It doesn't tell me shit all if I hover over things
ok, who wants to break the news
Literally mandatory
wtf
wut
mine does
same
Wtf
as does VS with ReSharper
VS does that without ReSharper 
but it does better with resharper
For some god awful reason
Wtf
yeah
do you know what a flying spaghetti monster is?
no
sean
it's basically the best, simplest way to describe this game's code
oh
most things in this game aren't actually "code"
ok
56 where is THK fsm
?
that's so dumb, it should be on by default
yeah it's dumb as fuck
oh sht
zote command for thk fsm
yeah i think ill stick with i do the art and my friend does the modding
oh barsheep you do art? 👀
cross out sid, keep me out of this 
it's 2:40am
good night gradow
not really
bye
sometimes
night mino
wait
👀 can i see your art then

what time is it?
its 5:40 for me
1:40 am
pm
Hey 56, could you make the room rando stuff public? I'd kinda like to mess around with it, if that's cool
Yeah sure
1:40 is way too early
^
but I might get lonely
i have to finish this group project
rip
