Banners

shift ctrl…?

why not shift click with empty hand

[violet wadi]

with empty hand yes

Shift + Ctrl + Right-click + Empty hand

[stray summit]

no i mean

why not just shift right click

[violet wadi]

Because you pick up vanilla raft with this combination

[stray summit]

oh

ctrl click?

[violet wadi]

And open joy of sailing inventory

[violet wadi]

Makes you pick up jos boat

[stray summit]

hm

kk

well you could have ctrl click work for vanilla and ctrl shift for jos?

[violet wadi]

I need universal hotkey

Only shift + ctrl + right-click does that

[violet wadi]

So i ended up doing exactly this

[violet wadi]

    public override void OnInteract(EntityAgent byEntity, ItemSlot itemslot, Vec3d hitPosition, EnumInteractMode mode, ref EnumHandling handled)
    {
        if (entity.World.Side != EnumAppSide.Server)
        {
            return;
        }

        switch (entity.Code.Domain)
        {
            case "sailboat" when byEntity.ServerControls.ShiftKey:
                {
                    bool success = TryPut(itemslot) || TryTake();
                    handled = success ? EnumHandling.PreventDefault : EnumHandling.PassThrough;
                    break;
                }
            case "game" when byEntity.ServerControls.CtrlKey:
                {
                    bool success = TryPut(itemslot) || TryTake();
                    handled = success ? EnumHandling.PreventDefault : EnumHandling.PassThrough;
                    break;
                }
        }
    }```

[stray summit]

nice!!!

[violet wadi]

Vanilla raft doesn't render banner 😭

[stray summit]

is it using the same render code as the windmill one?

usually its a mesh not being pulled correctly

[violet wadi]

No, new one

I didn't push latest code so

[violet wadi]

@stray summit TryGiveItemstack refuses to work lol```cs
public bool TryTake(IServerPlayer player = null)
{
ItemSlot targetSlot = inv.FirstNonEmptySlot;
if (inv == null || targetSlot == null)
{
return false;
}

    int slotId = inv.GetSlotId(targetSlot);

    //if (player != null && player.InventoryManager.TryGiveItemstack(targetSlot.Itemstack, slotNotifyEffect: true))
    //{
    //    targetSlot.Itemstack = null;
    //    inv.MarkSlotDirty(slotId);
    //}
    //else
    //{
    inv.DropSlots(entity.SidedPos.AsBlockPos.ToVec3d().Add(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), slotId);
    //}
    return true;
}```

I use inv.DropSlots instead

It is worth to note that I do all of that through server side

And I update boat shape in client packets sent by server

It took 500+ lines of code to make banners on boats work

[violet wadi]

I made sick image for new update

@main isle Are you okay with that I use your boat in main image?

[main isle]

yeah sure 😄

[violet wadi]

Released new 0.30.0 update

I wonder how much downloads it will get in a day

Because it took me several hours to implement entire thing

4500 lines of code 💀

[violet wadi]

Once this update gets 100 downloads, I will upload x.x.1 version with one very minor fix

[violet wadi]

Someone said that banners idea is completely copy pasted from minecraft, but you know that only some patterns are from there and everything else is original

[main isle]

Also... What if it is? Banners are still cool

[violet wadi]

I never seen banners on boats in minecraft

Neither with cutouts

[main isle]

I did but in a mod

[violet wadi]

Simple boat?

[main isle]

I think it was Quark?

[violet wadi]

Also they were already in vanilla

So I didn't even need to model them

Mod still has 1 block id and 1 item id

Since I have no plans to add size support for 1 block id banners, I would add them separately

So 1 block id per each size

Obviously flags:banner is 1x2

Then```
flags:banner1x1
flags:banner2x2
flags:banner2x3
flags:banner3x3
flags:banner3x4
flags:banner4x4
flags:banner5x5
flags:banner5x10
flags:banner10x10
flags:banner10x20
flags:banner20x20

I can add all these sizes to the mod without adding a single line of code

Imagine 640x640 texture for single banner

Do you understand now why I don't want to use one canvas for entire texture?

[main isle]

yeah that would bloat the file size

[violet wadi]

4096x4096=16777216
640x640=409600
40x 20x20 banners

[main isle]

So many original patterns

[violet wadi]

Exactly

[violet wadi]

Gradients work differently from mc

[main isle]

yeah

they overlay the color instead of blending right?

(in MC that is)

(pretty sure ours blend)

[violet wadi]

Yes

[violet wadi]

Do we need mini versions of banners?

XXXL, XXL etc.

With free form placing

[main isle]

I don't think so, unless you want to add like banner on chess boards

[violet wadi]

I don't need banners on chess boards

[violet wadi]

I think about adding poles as separate blocks

So that players could place pole and then put banner on it

They would be called flagpole

With a lot of different sizes, models, wood types, metal types etc.

For some of them you could attach rope to slowly raise banner as flag

With very smooth animation

[violet wadi]

Any ideas how to replace boat sails shape with banner texture?

[main isle]

well they're not rectangles so that doesn't help

The way I see it, we'd have to redo banner patterns for sails

[violet wadi]

I need to at least try to replace texture

[main isle]

UVs aren't even aligned with one another

[violet wadi]

Then when I'm sure it works, we redraw patterns

[violet wadi]

Doesn't matter

[main isle]

Even just having colored sails would be a huge step-up x)

[violet wadi]

Everything is possible

But I need to replace sails shape first

Mod patches only onMeshReady

[main isle]

If you need to edit stuff in the base Joy of Sailing, go ahead

[violet wadi]

I want one banner for flag and another for sail

Two banners at total

Actually i can even put million banners on single boat

Api allows that

I use inventory with configurable quantity of slots

[main isle]

I'm probably going to overhaul the JoS model in the relatively near future so don't spend too much time on that

(well near future, 1.20-pre.1)

[violet wadi]

Okay

[violet wadi]

Make boats with different models then

[violet wadi]

You could leave some space for flag

Doesn't matter where

[stray summit]

why is it all commented out

[stray summit]

yippeee

[violet wadi]

Because why not

[violet wadi]

4500 lines of code for entire mod

[stray summit]

im on mobile its hard to tell soz

[stray summit]

holy moly

[violet wadi]

VS has only 462k

[stray summit]

i only have 1200 tops for HIT

[violet wadi]

It is very low

I need more code

[violet wadi]

Next are probably banners as capes

[stray summit]

how many files

[violet wadi]

Look at source code

[stray summit]

grrr im on mobile

[violet wadi]

There are a ton of behaviors and harmony patches

[stray summit]

okok

[stray summit]

😵‍💫

[violet wadi]

I skipped some you see

[violet wadi]

Concepts

These all are made of three patterns

Here are another ones without crosses

4 patterns in total

They could be useful for clothing

[violet wadi]

Last update reached 100 downloads so fast

Two days ago it had 55 followers and now it is 60

[violet wadi]

Someone reported massive lag spikes for 0.30.0

And I have absolutely no idea what causes them

I tested it a lot before releasing update

[violet wadi]

Maybe it is bad to test mods in flat world only

I loaded normal world and it lags as hell

Creative flat world has no lags

[violet wadi]

crazy

[violet wadi]

I followed someone's advice and broke something again

Tried to optimize gui

[violet wadi]

.tfedit lags as hell

Probably thiscs capi.Event.RegisterEventBusListener((string eventName, ref EnumHandling handling, IAttribute data) => { switch (eventName) { case eventOnCloseEditTransforms: case eventGenJsonTransform: case eventOnEditTransforms: case eventOnApplyTransforms: if (entity.Code.Domain == "game") { (entity.Properties.Client.Renderer as EntityShapeRenderer)?.MarkShapeModified(); } break; } });

[twin panther]

Hmm. I have 0.30 installed on my server (also Linux) and haven't experienced any noticeable lag spikes since running it alongside 200+ other mods.

Interesting.

[violet wadi]

What happens when you press Ctrl + F3 and unfocus game window while the game is not paused?

This is strange

So it is vanilla thing... I didn't load mod here

[violet wadi]

I think this will be the first time I make gui for config of HUD positions

[violet wadi]

so strange

[violet wadi]

@gloomy basin is it you who had lags with the mod?

[keen nymph]

name matches up yeah

aww man i forgot i shortened my name to endey

anyways

[violet wadi]

Could you type these commands?

.debug logticks 100
/debug logticks 100```

[keen nymph]

loading up the save with my modlist right now to do so

[violet wadi]

Once it lags, it will print info in server-main.txt and client-main.txt

[keen nymph]

i run a lan world in terms of a server, if that has any impact on the output here

[violet wadi]

It has impact only on server

I suspect it is something related to behaviors

[gloomy basin]

Yeah it was me

[keen nymph]

ahh well, doing so in singleplayer had no impact, and doing so as a lan has no effect

[gloomy basin]

Will do it later

[violet wadi]

Which is why I haven't noticed lag spikes in singleplayer

[keen nymph]

my veiw of this, looks like this, but i angered god.

[violet wadi]

What about this

[keen nymph]

yep angered god version

average fps is 4-22

system specs are
32gb ram
NVIDA geforce rtx 4070
nvme ssd 1tb

[violet wadi]

You could also try use 10 as value instead 100 for logticks

[keen nymph]

ill give that a try for ya

10 didnt do much, i also tried 1 which didnt do anything, and i tried 1000 which made the gods angrier.

[violet wadi]

What happens with 1000 logticks?

I need logs

[keen nymph]

essentially the same, but the spikes are stacked by 2-5

how do i get the logs for ya?

[violet wadi]

send here

[keen nymph]

as in a screenshot?

[violet wadi]

Files

[violet wadi]

.

[keen nymph]

ahhh. hmm i gotta go find those

alright found it. just clearing it and reloading

cant clear it cuase notepad is saying its using it and wont save changes cuase its using it despite it making the changes XD

oh wait no im running the game.

shhh

@violet wadi any section you want me to look for specifically? both logs spit out 1million+ characters unless the changes i made to clear it didnt save.

[violet wadi]

Sending logs should be enough

[keen nymph]

alright

ignore my name thank you

[gloomy basin]

Hey sorry I can't actually test it. We rolled back a few banners versions to fix the issue.

[keen nymph]

both are with /debug logticks 1000 btw

[violet wadi]

Vanilla world

[violet wadi]

Do you have wind enabled?

[gloomy basin]

We have pelagus winds mod in use

[violet wadi]

I mean on client

Waving foliage

[gloomy basin]

Yeah

[violet wadi]

Nevermind then

[keen nymph]

same here with the winds

i love the snow blowing off rooftops at a slow arc to the ground

[violet wadi]

I'm going to release new version with config window

Does anyone need color themes for HUDs lol?

[keen nymph]

darktheme when lmao

[violet wadi]

It is brown it is dark

[keen nymph]

haha i meant more of the grays and blacks like discord

[violet wadi]

I could try

[keen nymph]

id download greyhud if it was a clientside mod 100%.

[violet wadi]

Actually I already have such mod
https://mods.vintagestory.at/interfacesandrainbows

[keen nymph]

oooo

[violet wadi]

I should add config for it someday

[violet wadi]

It will be of the same style like this

[violet wadi]

Try new version

It may fix most of lags

[violet wadi]

Released new version with optimizations

[keen nymph]

gotta find my mod updater

oop

its stable

[violet wadi]

Have anyone noticed how ridiculous my version naming is?

Banners versions start from 0.23.0

Not 1.0.0 or 0.1.0 or 0.0.1 like any normal person would do

[violet wadi]

How much stable?

[keen nymph]

pure normalization

[violet wadi]

Okay

[violet wadi]

Is it normal or flat world?

[keen nymph]

normal world

as in i loaded the updated version of the mod into my main save where ive been testing it

and now its running smoothly :)

[violet wadi]

Updated mod page description to make it look more epic and serious

Wind animation system that makes banners flutter in the wind.

[keen nymph]

i gotta make a new boat cuase i lost mine in a freak accident far far away from my base. will definitely add banners to it

[violet wadi]

I wish there was a way to make rainbow border for slots with rare patterns

[keen nymph]

whats the challenge?

[violet wadi]

This thing requires shader

Shaders are very hard to work with, at least for me

[keen nymph]

hmm

wish i knew something to help you out with

[violet wadi]

Have you seen roadmap for banners?

[keen nymph]

nope. i should tho.

[violet wadi]

That roadmap will take 10 years to implement

[keen nymph]

i doubt that, your not a bad mod dev

any way to get an in game ui for the UI changer?

[violet wadi]

What

"Put banners on random animals"

Imagine you are running from bear and then you accidentally put banner on it

[keen nymph]

imagine a random horde of bears spawning with death banners on them

[violet wadi]

I can easily do that

[keen nymph]

also buffedby the banner

[violet wadi]

That I can do too

[keen nymph]

very angr brars

sorry im latter climbing constantly to make flights farther away from base.

also what i meant by in game UI for the ui color change mod is that i dont see a keybind to open it while playing

[violet wadi]

Because it has none

[keen nymph]

yep i figured, so i was checking to see if we could get one.

[violet wadi]

Someday

who wants such pattern?

[keen nymph]

hehe lil guy boutta cuase panik

[violet wadi]

I probably should write proper gui for mc to vs converter

[keen nymph]

not sure if its the banner mod, but im hearing a fabric audio loop for some reason. will try to do some testing later, its no big deal.

[violet wadi]

Did you interact with banners?

[keen nymph]

dont have any yet, i was however setting up my windmill

[violet wadi]

Vanilla bug probably

[keen nymph]

oh and the glider

but yeah i was really uncertain.

[violet wadi]

My mod has nothing to do with windmills or glider

[keen nymph]

sounds good then. vanilla bug it probably is and i threw in the towel quite abit ago lol

[violet wadi]

I probably should check for homo sapiens mode and enable all possible patterns

[violet wadi]

I think i fixed rare cases with empty attributes

I didn't write here for 6 days...

[keen nymph]

i was just chilling. honestly havnt looked into banners just yet due to my base upgrades, but i cant wait to make abunch

[violet wadi]

Maybe I could make flower unlockable with temporal gear

[violet wadi]

Maybe also elk pattern unlockable with elk antlers

[violet wadi]

Dropped 0.32.0 update

So many patterns are left that could be unlocked with some items/blocks

{ "Pattern": "checker2x4", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "checker2x4i", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "checker4x8", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "checker4x8i", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "checker5x10", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "checker5x10i", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "checker8x16", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "checker8x16i", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "yang", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "yin", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "crescent_left", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "crescent_right", "Unlockable": [] },

{ "Pattern": "fleur_de_lis", "Unlockable": [], "Linebreak": true },
{ "Pattern": "moby_dick", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "sad_catfish", "Unlockable": [] },

{ "Pattern": "suit_clubs", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "suit_hearts", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "suit_spades", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "lion_left", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "lion_right", "Unlockable": [] },

{ "Pattern": "vs_cookie", "Unlockable": [] },
{ "Pattern": "vs_drifter", "Unlockable": [] },

{ "Pattern": "vs_logo", "Unlockable": [] },

Maybe I could make one-use items that could unlock patterns to avoid huge amount of useless pattern items

That way player would always keep only 1 pattern item at a time if they want so

I made patterns as qol as possible

I want to write custom gui for them soon so it will be much easier to use them

But it is probably better to leave it for paint brush, or do both

What if i make some drifters carry banners with drifter pattern

Or bears carrying banners

Boat on preview is such a good bait

I found a way to replace sail texture with banner textures, but I need to separate shapes first

[violet wadi]

3000 downloads

[keen nymph]

i gotta run my mod updater, but its lookin good

if you could make flags, imagine a bell spawning with one and waving it around angrily.

giving it a 2x hp buff, spawnrate buff, and spawns deep and nightmare level stuff :0

very angry bell >:)

[marble fog]

how do I apply patterns ?

[violet wadi]

Bucket with dye + pattern in left hand

Any liquid container will work

[violet wadi]

Did you read FAQ?

[marble fog]

I just did

but thanks anyway

I swear I looked, but I didnt see the FAQ

brainless tonight

[keen nymph]

i saw an outlaw with a banner @violet wadi

his goons started beating on me with bows and arrows so i had to back off. but cool stuff.

[violet wadi]

Show screenshot

[keen nymph]

i didnt take screenshot of em ;-;

they were in the water bobbin about anyways though

[violet wadi]

So I spent several hours writing logic for rotations gui and I think that server commands is very bad way to do that

I probably need to set up network for this

hell

[violet wadi]

@tired nexus what exactly doesn't work?

[tired nexus]

@violet wadi applyin patterns to the banner - off hand pattern active color.. did not working (trying even with shift ) color splash to the banner and pattern is not applyed.

[violet wadi]

[violet wadi]

Strange

[violet wadi]

What happens when you reload world?

[violet wadi]

Is it 0.32.0 version?

[tired nexus]

Did not understand question

[tired nexus]

Banners-v0.32.0.zip yes

[tired nexus]

This is my creative test world it was sometimes loaded with Banners mod and sometimes without thats all 🙂

[violet wadi]

So it doesn't happen in 0.31.0?

[violet wadi]

You need to enable edit mode for banner

[tired nexus]

Ok, thank you very much. But why it is not on by default ?

[violet wadi]

I messed up some things

[tired nexus]

Allright. nwm

[violet wadi]

I think I fixed it

[violet wadi]

Try new version

[tired nexus]

ok thank you so much ❤️

[violet wadi]

Does it work?

[tired nexus]

I will try tomorrow. Its too late 🙂

[tired nexus]

It works

[violet wadi]

What is better?

For this

or

Another pattern

[violet wadi]

What is better for this pattern?

These two

Only these patterns left

If I add banners with creatures on them, you would probably need to click on creature first to apply pattern, dead or alive

But since my basic banners are limited to 32x64 textures, it probably won't happen soon, unless I add giant banners

I could add some setting to enable 64x128 / 128x256 textures on banners

But for this I would need to draw thousands of textures

Seems first two should have tiling

So I made some parts asymmetrical

They are tiling now

Most players of the mod probably don't even know that I draw most textures pixel by pixel

Only tattered patterns are left

Their internal names will be: aged1, aged2, aged3, aged4, aged5

[violet wadi]

[tired nexus]

It looks good. Keep on going

[violet wadi]

Thank you

[tired nexus]

You're welcome ☺️ You made a very good job.

[violet wadi]

Actually it is only a small percent of what I want to see in the mod

[violet wadi]

Last version has 600 downloads, wow

I need to release 0.32.2 that should add compatibility with wildcraft fruit dyes

[violet wadi]

Writing handbook guides currently

[violet wadi]

@main isle

[violet wadi]

FAQ page

[violet wadi]

Introduction page

[violet wadi]

Banner modes page

[violet wadi]

All handbook guides in the mod now have 6700+ characters, that is a lot of words

I tried to explain in detail how to interact with all game mechanics added by mod

I didn't touch beds and boats yet

Also I need a guide to explain how mc to vs banner converter works

[violet wadi]

4 guides for now

banner pattern modes page

[violet wadi]

improved it a bit

[violet wadi]

@main isle

I believe i used most of VTML tricks

[violet wadi]

Wow I can even add handbook links for folders

i found these for href```cs
game.api.RegisterLinkProtocol("command", onCommandLinkClicked);
game.api.RegisterLinkProtocol("hotkey", hotKeyLinkClicked)
game.api.RegisterLinkProtocol("screenshot", onLinkClicked);
game.api.RegisterLinkProtocol("chattype", onChatType);
game.api.RegisterLinkProtocol("datafolder", onDataFolderLinkClicked);

[violet wadi]

White text from here is made like this: html <code>Some text</code>

[violet wadi]

I think adding guides is enough for 0.33.0 update

[violet wadi]

Mod is installed on 62 public servers

[violet wadi]

5000 downloads!

I probably need to start working on new features

[violet wadi]

75

[tired nexus]

@violet wadi Hi o/ Can I take and rework your abandon mod Rich Traders? I need to use something like that on my server. Thank you

[violet wadi]

Why? It is included in Dana Tweaks already

It is written in very big text on Rich Traders page

[tired nexus]

It´s because I don´t want anything from Dana Tweaks sorry. And I thing that will be fighting with other mod and causing crashes

[violet wadi]

Dana Tweaks is completely configurable

But you know better

Everyone know better than me

[tired nexus]

That´s not true.

[tired nexus]

I really don´t want to spend half day to turn all the other features off, when I just only need 1 of 30 or something like that. But I give a shot

[violet wadi]

You can do it in config file by setting everything to false

It took me 1 second just now

[tired nexus]

aaall right, allright, you get me. I give it the shot and test it.. So I must search what´ s integrated, because I am just using Farmland Drops Soil and Dana Tweaks included that.

[violet wadi]

I don't know why you even wrote here instead Dana Tweaks thread

[tired nexus]

But that´s you I have not that skills, I am not a programmer I am hw guy..

[violet wadi]

Any text editor can do that

I select word, then I press CTRL + F2, type new word, done

[tired nexus]

ok, next time.

[tired nexus]

allright, thank you

[violet wadi]

This thread is for banners only

Everything discussed here should be related to banners in any way

[tired nexus]

understand, you can erase that

[violet wadi]

@pale turret did you comment on moddb?

[pale turret]

Yes it was me

[violet wadi]

You can answer here to what I asked on moddb

[violet wadi]

Also I remember i fixed it in 0.32.1

[pale turret]

Haven´t updated it then, still on 0.32 since the server started. Will check update it tomorrow and check if it´s working then.

Actually thought i do anything wrong.

[violet wadi]

You can also temporarily fix it by breaking banner, enabling edit mode and placing it again

[pale turret]

It works, thank you very much

[violet wadi]

It was 75 about 3 days ago 💀

[tired nexus]

how do you get that number?

[violet wadi]

https://vsserverlist.th3dilli.dev/stats

It is 84 now

[tired nexus]

Ohh thank you, and cg!

[violet wadi]

It is so hilarious that the mod has Banners name, flags modid, and danaflags link on moddb

But since banners modid was already taken, I had no choice but to choose flags modid

my mod and another mod

[violet wadi]

I noticed that mod is installed on a lot civilization themed servers

Maybe if I allow to put banners on armor, it may be more useful

Or as "Banners - Clothing" addon

Since I would need to write hundreds of lines of code to make it work with clothing

For shields it may be easiest, since I could add ground storage interactions

[violet wadi]

Does anyone know any poo mods?

I may add feature to use banners as toilet paper

[keen nymph]

bro comes back to ask one of the hardest going questions he can

[halcyon dock]

On the other hand though...

https://mods.vintagestory.at/scatatastrophe

[keen nymph]

this is perfection.

[lost cloak]

Yes there is a a poop mod. But no hygiene mod. So not sure the point of toilet paper.

That being said if there was a hygiene mod then maybe banner bath towels??? 🤔

[violet wadi]

Nope

It was a joke anyway

[keen nymph]

lmao

[violet wadi]

lol

[keen nymph]

i like it

[violet wadi]

What liquid?

[violet wadi]

Any other mods?

thanks for the quick response I love your mod

[violet wadi]

crazy. That means the mod is top 3 among my mods

[keen nymph]

he do be making really cool lookin banners tho

[violet wadi]

Mod survived 1.20 i was wrong

[violet wadi]

Updated to 1.20

[weary heron]

oh, wow, holy shit

TO BATTLE! lmfao

[violet wadi]

yes

[violet wadi]

Released 1.1.0 update

Tabards are next now

Yes I remembered

Most likely will be implemented the same way as caparisons, without adding new items

[violet wadi]

Also capes

Was wondering if there is way to create heraldic field/fur patterns, fur as example is coa of britanny, and field of lilies is coa of temeria in Witcher (picrel is coa of faction on a server with green fur) https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/949389541553348618/1293312304997466235/Gwyn.png?ex=673ef232&is=673da0b2&hm=e9ad48e6a491a1c78e268b117dc9cc667575d83ef6159c2ecc002cbaca7fd600&

[violet wadi]

No idea how to do that

[opal dome]

Each pattern is separate image applied to the object right? Its not resizing symbols or positioning them?, so I guess I'd have to make it as separate patern that can then be applied like the others

[violet wadi]

It is much more complex than that

[opal dome]

Feck XD

[violet wadi]

I can add this pattern separately instead

Same way as any other pattern

[opal dome]

Ye that's what I meant

[violet wadi]

I hope someday I will add custom pattern system, which would allow painting of unique patterns pixel by pixel, but not soon

[lilac zinc]

How do you add the banner patterns to banners?

[violet wadi]

Did you read handbook guides?

[lilac zinc]

It didnt show up for some reason or is it in the survival guide?

[violet wadi]

What version do you use?

[lilac zinc]

0.33.1

running vs 1.19

[violet wadi]

Open handbook and search "banners"

Screenshot the result

[lilac zinc]

Ok restarting my world after I try a new world

Its not showing up for some reason

[violet wadi]

What language?

[lilac zinc]

?

[violet wadi]

The game language

[lilac zinc]

Oh english?

[violet wadi]

Try clear cache folder

Vintagestorydata/Cache

[lilac zinc]

For the mod file like delete it or all the contents of the Cashe folder?

[violet wadi]

Whole cache folder

[lilac zinc]

Ok I realised it might be conflicting becasue im updateing from an older version of the mod

[violet wadi]

Guides were added in 0.33.0

[lilac zinc]

Ah hope fully now ive removed the old version I was using in an existing world the new one will work

All good now thanks for your help

[bronze sand]

Hey man, I just started using your mod and my server log spits out a ton of errors. I'm on 1.20rc6. Is there anything to worry about here?

[violet wadi]

What mod version?

[bronze sand]

1.1.4. I just saw you put a new version out. I’ll try that next!

[bronze sand]

Forgot to mention that all seems to be good! Thanks!

[lost cloak]

if banners for sail rafts ... maybe banners for the 1.20 sail boats?

[violet wadi]

You already can attach banners to sailboat

[keen nymph]

ok, but can i replace the sail with a sail that has my banner logo?

[violet wadi]

No

[keen nymph]

awwww

Saw this in a log someone posted, figured it might be your mod.

[violet wadi]

How to fix it

[floral coyote]

I think it's having issues with minecraft:red_banner{BlockEntityTag:{Patterns:[{Color:11,Pattern:"bt"},{Color:14,Pattern:"ss"},{Color:0,Pattern:"ms"},{Color:11,Pattern:"cbo"},{Color:14,Pattern:"mc"},{Color:11,Pattern:"bo"}]}}.

You know, since {0} is a thing the string formatting uses?

In which case, the answer is likely escape characters.

"mc-to-vs-converter-text": "<strong>Banners 105 - Banner converter</strong>     <br><br>The mod has built-in converter tool that is used to convert banners from other games to Vintage Story's banner format     <br><br><strong>from Minecraft</strong>     <br>Most minecraft banners can be converted with <a href=\"chattype:///flags genmc\">/flags genmc</a> command.

Here's the original line.

Although honestly I'm not 100% sure it's set up in a way for this to work.

I dunno but I thought I'd pass it along.

[main isle]

if it's due to {0} being used in string formatting, maybe replacing every { and } with \{ and \} could work?

[violet wadi]

I will try

[main isle]

it's a warning, try it anyways

but yeah it's probably not it

if it's saying that

[violet wadi]

{{ }} worked

updated

[violet wadi]

Fixed

[dense bone]

I am going to ask a dummy question, I apologize. I cannot seem to get all the banner modes to show up by pressing the 'F' key when a banner is in my hands. I only get "Enable 'Edit mode'" and "Disable 'Edit mode'". How do I toggle the 'Affected by wind' mode?

Actually it seems I am missing all the modes except those two shown.

[violet wadi]

I removed all other modes in recent updates

[dense bone]

Ah! Gotcha. I was uber confused when looking at the handbook. Thanks!

[high temple]

how do I get the checker pattern?

[violet wadi]

Buy it from trader

[high temple]

thanks

[obsidian summit]

@violet wadi apologies for the delay, here's what i worked out. hopefully it is satisfactory.

[violet wadi]

Nice

[violet wadi]

Is it attached to neck element?

[obsidian summit]

ah! sorry, no it's actually attached to the... uh,
hold on let me roll out of bed and look at the file again

[violet wadi]

I tried to fix it

[obsidian summit]

upper torso is what the origin is attached to

[violet wadi]

If I remove all animations, it works perfectly

[obsidian summit]

ah, sorry i should've asked if the animations would be an issue

i'll need to figure out if animations can be done, because without them, a lot of clipping will occur

[violet wadi]

Try with this shape

[obsidian summit]

it's interesting seeing the wind effect on something the player is wearing. I like it.

[obsidian summit]

okay, i'll try adding animations to it

[violet wadi]

I could also make lite version of the cape in a separate mod

With 4 patterns or something

[obsidian summit]

i'm sure there'd be folk who'd appreciate that

[obsidian summit]

haven't tested it in game yet, but went through and added relatively simple animations. If these break in game then I'll need to go into the game with this shape to figure out what's happening.

name of this file is normal-cape2

[violet wadi]

Still the same

[violet wadi]

Did you try to set stepParentName for every element?

@obsidian summit You can test with this

Path to wearable shapes assets/flags/shapes/block/banner/attachabletoentity

[violet wadi]

@red spire any ideas why animations break my shape completely?

@native trellis do you know why it happens?

[native trellis]

Not immediately

Maybe it's an issue of transforms global/local being applied in the wrong order?

[obsidian summit]

never tried making wearables before so this is a bit of a learning process for me, appreciate the patience.

thank you for the test build to use

[violet wadi]

I made it work

But only with attribute rendering library

As a separate mod

@obsidian summit

[obsidian summit]

Ah! good work.
i wonder if it should just be it's own mod.
if so, i winder if comparability with the banner mod could be made.

[violet wadi]

I want to try to implement simplified pattern system

[obsidian summit]

would be a good opportunity to do so

thank you for letting me get a bit more modeling practice in.

[violet wadi]

Looks like it is much harder to do that I thought

[obsidian summit]

a common story when developing

[violet wadi]

e.g.```json
{ "type": "item", "code": "cape", "attributes": { "types": { "layer0": "b_red"} } },
{ "type": "item", "code": "cape", "attributes": { "types": { "layer0": "b_red", "layer1": "bs_yellow" } } }

[violet wadi]

If I use 32x64 textures, it will be significantly easier to code

[obsidian summit]

ohhhhh. interesting, i hadn't considered changing the texture scale. beyond adjusting the UV in order for the shape to fit the size of the player model that is.

[violet wadi]

Here is 32x64 texture

There are still 2 shape elements, but I modified UV to fit the texture on them

[obsidian summit]

it looks nice

[violet wadi]

Now I need to manually edit 1000+ textures to make it work for all of them

1288 textures damn

[obsidian summit]

oh... i see where the challenge comes in... or i suppose it's more tedious than difficult.

[violet wadi]

i hope this works

[obsidian summit]

🤞

[violet wadi]

damn, that site is terrible

[obsidian summit]

dang.

[violet wadi]

I will try GIMP for this

[obsidian summit]

maybe it'll have a plugin that makes it easier. idk if anything i've got installed will make it easier

[violet wadi]

I only need a lot of textures for this to work

[violet wadi]

done

I included only 8 layers for now

The hardest part is to simplify pattern making

[violet wadi]

@red spire This cape was made entirely in json with attribute rendering library used as dependency

[red spire]

Send the packed mod, will try to add compatibility with banners to tabards

[violet wadi]

This capes mod won't be compatible with banners mod

It is made in entirely different way

[obsidian summit]

oh wow

[red spire]

I dont want to implement pattern selection...

[violet wadi]

I sent it

[dry hearth]

hi, i'm a dingus and can't figure out if banners are attachable to unmodded rafts and sailboats. are they attachable as flags?

[fading adder]

crashing to desktop when opening any of the basic banner recipes

I think it's something to do with it trying to display wildcraft materials (not a mod we have)

[violet wadi]

Can't reproduce

[west sand]

This mod is completely broken in 1.21.6! All blocks have been turned to question mark blocks and cannot be found in creative.
Vinconomy has a similar bug, but has been updated to fix it.

[violet wadi]

Vanilla broke it

[west sand]

yup im aware

[violet wadi]

Hundreds of mods broke because of 1.21.6

[west sand]

last time I take advice from random discord member #274
Just commenting this here since i didnt see any activity mentioning it

[violet wadi]

Also, the mod won't receive any updates anymore after I fix this bug

I obsolete this mod forever

[west sand]

valid
is there an alternative for the future? or you just mentally done with this lol

I thought this was the polished version of heraldry?

[violet wadi]

The newer mod is the replacement

It works and looks exactly the same but at the same time it is thousands times better

[west sand]

confusion stems from this line on the page, sounds like danaflags is the polished version of heraldry banners

[violet wadi]

I fixed it

[west sand]

Thank you! big text very clear 👍

[honest scroll]

I have a question though, if I install the replacement mod, will it automatically convert the previously hung banners or..?

there are quite a lot of already placed banners on our world
