Quality of Life+ Build/Mod

[torn sluice]

thanks thanks

I'm updating my release page

[full snow]

Doel was very easy

Lotta guarding on Rose's part, really didn't want another Fruegel situation happening

[torn sluice]

Should play with Frenzy Mode on

[full snow]

Maybe after I win with this one

I'll just keep going more and more deranged

And the final final challenge is just

[torn sluice]

😆

[full snow]

Beating the game (optional) without any additions

[torn sluice]

Frenzy Reticle off

[full snow]

Only the first hit

My run killer becomes Kongol 2

[full snow]

Punishment

[torn sluice]

Ok I finally got everything rounded up !

Looking fresh !

Look at that beautiful flawless on my first attempt for the frenzy gif

[full snow]

[torn sluice]

Don't mind that

I now wish I had reserved more messages at the top

Somehow reached 4000 characters on the main message

I have the most beautiful git readme in history

Alright time for me to sleep

way passed bedtime over here

[full snow]

It was also way passed bedtime for me but I pulled an all-nighter

Im gonna die :(

Despirited IRL

😔

[charred girder]

Nah, that just means you can't Dragoon.

[full snow]

I must goon!

:(

I cannot goon

[torn sluice]

nothing suspicious here

[charred girder]

Uh huh.

[full snow]

50 SP?

[full snow]

Haschel got No Combatted by Mappi that piece of

Smoge

[torn sluice]

After I warned you the other night about forgetting?

smh

[full snow]

I put the Talisman on Rose because Haschel was frickin balling with the bandit ring :(

[torn sluice]

Just takes one time apparently

[full snow]

Is it possible to kill Mappi fast enough before he teleports? I always assumed he automatically went invis mode by about half health

Oh well

[torn sluice]

I wouldn't know

You can test though

Just need to open the combat debug and murder him

make he's hp/max hp like 10 and guard to see if it procs his invis phase

then if not hit him for 10 and see what happens

there's a world where they hardcoded the hp value he has to be under to proc the phase instead of %

[full snow]

Gotcha gotcha >:)

I'll do that now

[torn sluice]

Heads up for anyone using this build. Fixed a couple minor issues in 1.15.2.

[full snow]

Thank you Sen

You can just kill Mappi!

I did it organically cause I forgot the bind for debug

He will go invisible but not come back, he just dies and leaves you alone

So I'm guessing his annoying invis phase is turn based

Good to know for my future runs

Anywhos, now to die on Lenus 1

I died to Lenus 1

[hexed merlin]

O.O how can i get those perfects and such on 3.0??

[full snow]

It's BEEN 3.0 for a while

But yeah :)

[hexed merlin]

? hm.. i am confused. are you saying i can have it? how do i enable it?

is it part of irongoon?

[full snow]

Go into Options > Addition > Configure > Gameplay Enhancements

It's a fork

[torn sluice]

You're one level too high Nidium

[full snow]

Ahh

Dangit

[torn sluice]

it's almost like there's an entire guide and How To Install section

#1307995361918586911 message

that being said idk if you're getting the same shit but discord STRUGGLES going to the actual top message

[full snow]

Yeah, is there anyway to pin the very first message?

Should we ask Drew?

[torn sluice]

https://github.com/FrancisDionne/Severed-Chains/releases/tag/experimental

[torn sluice]

I think the same would happen

It's a Discord issue

[full snow]

Fair nuf

I was explaining stuff for something they didn't even install yet

I'm very silly

[torn sluice]

So it goes

[full snow]

[hexed merlin]

sorry guys. i didnt see it XD

[full snow]

I turned on the Gameplay Enhancements for my new GoonLocke
Even though it is good, it leaves cool and potential clutch moments of landing perfect additions when I need them for that little kick of extra damage

@hexed merlin You got it!!!!

I can tell cause of the Discord Rich Presence 😎

[torn sluice]

Haha that's funny

Now we spy on them

[full snow]

We love finding a use fo Detonate Rock!!!!

[torn sluice]

To sell it and make gold?

[full snow]

Beat the Commander who makes the dupes

It doesn't actually kill though if the others are still up

You have to hit him after you deal damage with detonate rock to end the fight

My Volcano's on 66/80 on Kongol

No encounters + avoiding Hellena Wardens

I love Gameplay Enhancements

[torn sluice]

It's particularly efficient with low level additions

and then you never see it later on

[full snow]

I'll make it happen on Madness Hero

Just you wait

[torn sluice]

Do you think you're getting too much damage out of leveling the addition quicker?

[full snow]

No, I still think Kongol served a challenge, the damage boost isn't actually too crazy

even with a level 4 Volcano, Lavitz was approaching the same damage with a Level 1 Spinning Cane

[torn sluice]

If it feels satisfying/rewarding then it's probably a good thing

we can tweak difficulty in other ways

I'm assuming you noticed the bigger/flashing damage number when you flawless

[full snow]

I have a very

Yes

Kinda flickery?

[torn sluice]

looks good?

[full snow]

Not in a bad way

It was very noticeable the first time I landed it

Looks good

[torn sluice]

I just wanted to highlight the moment a little more

[full snow]

What are your thoughts on increasing the SP gain from the addition if it's flawless?

[torn sluice]

sell it through other methods other than the flawless text

cuz if you don't have that on then you wouldn't know

[torn sluice]

scary

[full snow]

[torn sluice]

I'd have to look at the code

It's a little less straight forward because you're getting SP for it before the combo ends

but I guess the last SP gain could consider it and be bigger

How much are we talking

[full snow]

50% increase on flawless

I'd also think on balancing this maybe seperately to having them all already implemented

[torn sluice]

50% more!?

[full snow]

Idk if you can make the seperate parts of the Flawless system (addition progress and damage bonus)

err like

Toggleable*

[torn sluice]

On the total or on the last SP gain

[torn sluice]

I'd prefer keeping it all together

[full snow]

If Volcano gives 36 SP, on Flawless it'd give 54 instead.

[torn sluice]

I'll think about it

[full snow]

I can understand the

[torn sluice]

It sounds fun so I'll probably do it if I can

[full snow]

Yeah

Aw hell yeah

[torn sluice]

I'll mess with the numbers

[full snow]

Me when you're cool:

Idk

Already in progress

I'm simply different

Flawless Rod Typhoon with 3rd hit Countered

[torn sluice]

Still playing with the reticle I see

[full snow]

Reticleless is like

If you play STS

It's about an A19 difficulty spike

It will be genuinely hard to get used to it

[torn sluice]

I think less than you think

[full snow]

I tried it for a bit on base SC and it sucked

[torn sluice]

Yes because they're not made to be reticleless

the timings are a bit off with visuals/audio cues

That's why yours truly has a setting you can enable where it adjusts every hit of every addition for it

[full snow]

alrighty fine I'm gonna try it

[torn sluice]

and yes yours truly spent countless hours doing the same additions over and over and over and over until every hit was (more) accurate

[full snow]

Another suggestion for a QoL

[torn sluice]

If I remember I did like 3 or 4 passes on every addition because there was a new understanding of the timings and I needed to re-adjust everything again

[full snow]

Is there a way you could implement a way to skip/mute a Dragoon Magic after its been cast?

[torn sluice]

I think my answer will be Turbo Mode

[full snow]

Some Magic like Flameshot, Astral Drain, All of Shana/Miranda's have long lasting sound effects that do not go away during speed up

Err

Retain the same speed of audio during speedup

[torn sluice]

There's a world where #1 that's impossible #2 disabling it would crash the game because it's expected to play

[full snow]

Hrmm

Fair enough then

I'll have to deal with it

[torn sluice]

Yeah I wish the sound was sped up too

but I do get the problem

[full snow]

My character audio turned off

I'm cooked

[torn sluice]

I'll try to see if there's anything I can do but I have low hopes on that one

well there you go you fixed your problem

[full snow]

I CANT HEAR MY ADDITIONS

(And Magic plays through character audio being off)

[torn sluice]

🤣

[full snow]

()

(Put me in the Demon's Gate)

Lavitz is dead

On fucking

Virage

Virage 1

This run's over

it isn't over but

[torn sluice]

Isnt that the second one?

[full snow]

sadge

[torn sluice]

first one is lava no?

[full snow]

Nah I started over cause I wiped on Lenus

Yeah

I'm on lava one

He got beamed and couldn't live the second one through Guard

I was fairly reckless in the first place

I got punished

[torn sluice]

ah yeah I guess the steam thumbnail threw me off

it looks like not so much lava

It's ok he dies anyway

spoilers

[full snow]

But that means no Albert :(

No Rose Storm

[torn sluice]

It's a sign

You got this

[full snow]

I think lavitz's death overleveled Dart and Rose from being the two left alive

And Firebird got

Destroyed

[torn sluice]

Watch out there's a grasshopper on your screen

[full snow]

FELLAS

[hexed merlin]

Wat

[full snow]

Is Bandit's Ring off Drake a rare drop?

[hexed merlin]

O.o umm

[full snow]

@charred girder

30%

Still

Nuts

My Dart is insane til Haschel joins
Then he'll be insane

[charred girder]

???

ah, yep 30%.

[plucky wagon]

the more i see of this mod, the sadder I am knwoing I cant run it 😭

[full snow]

How come?

[plucky wagon]

something something something Java doesnt work on my old ass crappy laptp

[full snow]

Ahh shit right, I forgot

mb

Damn shame

[plucky wagon]

it is, it very much is

I was looking so forward to this great mod, and getting to replay the game again with it

genuenly, the mod looks AMAZING

[torn sluice]

wait til you see what I'm working on

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-4470566

Also I'm sure there's a way if you try hard enough

I wish I could help though

[ornate estuary]

@plucky wagon I just dm'd you something to try

[full snow]

WHAT IS IT

ME NEED TO KNOW

[torn sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/top-gun-tom-cruise-maverick-classified-secret-gif-5041272

[full snow]

[full snow]

@torn sluice Please let me know as soon as you update the fork to have turn order

That might just actually be peak

I cannot wait

[torn sluice]

Lmao

[full snow]

[torn sluice]

You might never get a ping

I'll let you know when the other thing Im working on is ready though

[full snow]

Wait Sen are you a tester?

Or like can you look in the channel?

[torn sluice]

Norh

[full snow]

New devbuild has turn order

[torn sluice]

guessing Zyc got it working

[full snow]

So I just meant if you could update it to the newest devbuild

[ornate estuary]

I added it a couple hours ago

[full snow]

I will be so happy

[torn sluice]

Nice job

[full snow]

Goat status?

Yes

[torn sluice]

Yeah I can do that

[full snow]

Thank you

[torn sluice]

2 conflicts

[ornate estuary]

You will also get the in-battle options menu

[torn sluice]

oh nice

is the turn order the only option that was added

[ornate estuary]

Yeah

Though the options menu code has been overhauled to support showing up as a popup window

[torn sluice]

wonder how my grouping is gonna fair

ok uses a complete different render so it;s unnaccounted for

we good

I do get that though when I open the additions... sub options 🤣

I'll fuck with it later

Curious to know how you solved the turn order though

Imma snoop around

Does it have anything to do with the random seed?

[ornate estuary]

Yes, I simulate several turns into the future

[torn sluice]

ya ya

That's what I wanted to do

But my brain too smoll

[ornate estuary]

Turn order will still change if the rng advances for any reason

[torn sluice]

yep

but at least it's something

@full snow done

[full snow]

🥹

Me when im in a "make my day" competition and my opponent is Sen

[plucky wagon]

So like, if this thing monoxide did to possibly fix my version of the Game works, do I just export the new build of this mod over the root folder of the old version? And that would work?

Just like the main build

[full snow]

Its a fork, so it'll have the same structure as SC

You need to copy your iso and cue files and paste it into the QoL's iso file

Then copy the save file(s) and paste em into the QoL's saves file

[charred girder]

as a general rule, don't mix core files with the fork files.

[full snow]

You do have to launch it once to create the iso and saves files

[plucky wagon]

I know, I meant whenever this one gets updated

[charred girder]

it's the same base structure so yes, until Senerio says otherwise.

[plucky wagon]

I have separate files for the qol lod and the normal lod

[full snow]

Copy over the isos, copy over the save file

Thats all

[plucky wagon]

Well, me and monoxide is still trying bug shoot my crappy laptop

[full snow]

I wish you good luck :)

[plucky wagon]

So I'll guess first thing I'm doing after is updating it lol

[full snow]

And updating would just be installing the latest build, launching, then moving over the iso and save files

Im just repeating it in case you dont understand

If you do I'll stop

[plucky wagon]

I get it, download the latest fork of the mod, paste it over the modded files, run the bat file

[full snow]

download the latest fork

run the bat to create the iso and saves files in the modded one

paste your iso and save files into the created/modded one

[plucky wagon]

Ok, your confusing me more than helping rn

[full snow]

Mb

[plucky wagon]

I think it's due to there being no distinction between the mod fork and the official files

I download the latest modded fork, I already have a version of the modded fork, it has already generated the files and has the isos in it. I then extract the new version over the old version, replacing everything that's the same

That's what I planned to do

I mean, it doesn't have the files yet, but we're working on it

[full snow]

You dont have to replace the files, you can just run the latest on its own

[plucky wagon]

Respectfully, it takes almost an hour to initialize the files on my crappy laptop

[charred girder]

You don't need to reunpack in most cases. Usually Monoxide or Sen will mention it if so.

[full snow]

Wouldn't replacing take more time?

Or am I mistaken?

[charred girder]

I don't know what you mean.

[plucky wagon]

No, you can just extract over the boot and it will just auto replace

No effort needed

[full snow]

If it works, it works

[charred girder]

It's as simple as dropping new files over old files, and leaving the unpacked "/files" subfolder as-is.

[plucky wagon]

Everything auto compares, if it's different, it will replace it

Then you'll have all the old files that haven't changed with the new files that did change

Already initialized, already ready to go

[full snow]

Ahh I gotcha

Running the bat for a newer version would take a long time so you're just replacing so you won't have to wait for that on the shitty laptop

I get it now mb

[hexed merlin]

um.. am i kinda dumb? how can i has the turn order and the flawless additions forks together

[plucky wagon]

Has Sen updated it to the newest dev build yet?

[full snow]

Yes

[full snow]

Get the latest QoL fork, it'll have both

[plucky wagon]

It has been... 40 minutes, and I'm still initializing lol

[hexed merlin]

thank you!

[full snow]

Oh great heavens

[charred girder]

Gates of Heaven!

[plucky wagon]

We made it to patching scripts

Woo

[charred girder]

reasons to only do it once in awhile haha.

[plucky wagon]

Wooooooo

The intro started

We in bois

Now I gotta update it

XD

[hexed merlin]

soooo does shana get flawless??? XD

[charred girder]

She should. Every shot.

it's only fair.

[hexed merlin]

ooooo does she get dat damage boost?

[torn sluice]

Nah it doesn't apply to them

[hexed merlin]

AW

kinda figured but had to ask

[plucky wagon]

ok, its updated, wish me luck, hopefully I didnt just break everything

it seems to work!

Cant use my Keyboard cause I only have 3 USB slots on my Laptop, 1 is Mouse, 1 is SSD, and last one is my controller

[torn sluice]

Good luck

[plucky wagon]

Sometimes the Buttons look like that I guess lol

[full snow]

The fix worked then?

Massive

[plucky wagon]

jesus, look at that frame rate

mmm mmm mmmmmm

[full snow]

"Doub- S- S - Ash!"

[torn sluice]

is it working though

[plucky wagon]

oh god, it got worst

Its barely running 10 FPS during fights

I dont know what bugs are SC or QoL Mods, but the cursor is broken

[full snow]

Its cause the display is stretched rather than bordered

All sorta horizontal and text alignment can get screwed from stretched display

Right? @torn sluice Im pretty sure thats how it works but you prolly know better

[plucky wagon]

I dont have stretched on tho

[full snow]

In the graphics options you didnt have an option to switch off of stretched display?

[plucky wagon]

I mean its not ON stretch

its on Expand

[full snow]

Oh, yeah thats the name

Make it the one that isnt that

Stretched/Expand

Potato/Tomato

[torn sluice]

At that point I'm willing to put that on his laptop

Corrupted files or something

[plucky wagon]

no, there is nothing more than Stretch or Expand

two options

[full snow]

Oh

[plucky wagon]

Stretch or Expand

[full snow]

Oof then yeah, that might be a laptop thing

[plucky wagon]

Its not Stretched, its expanded

[full snow]

Gotcha

I was mistaken

[plucky wagon]

Silver lining, its nice to apreciate the models at 1/6th the speed

https://tenor.com/view/bts-thumbs-up-taehyung-cry-approved-gif-10307842

[plucky wagon]

One thing I feel I'd want fixed or added most rn is the ability to choose aspect ratio

But that feels more like a base SC thing

[full snow]

Config file, you can change it there

[plucky wagon]

If your talking about window size, that's not what I meant

I mean, be able to have the game full screen, and still have the game render at 4:3

[full snow]

Double checking one sec

Yeah, you're right. I confused it for window size

[plucky wagon]

Here, I made a mockup for what Id want. this isnt possible in the current build

[full snow]

Clinically sane desktop

[plucky wagon]

looks like a desktop after you disconnect the second monitor

[ornate estuary]

Did you turn off high quality projection?

If so, turn it back on, it won't affect performance

[plucky wagon]

that option was on

[ornate estuary]

Okay, I dunno then

[plucky wagon]

I'm actually falling in love with the perfect strike mechanic, it adds just that extra edge to the game play I feel

Rewards with just a bit of extra damage and by making addition grinding take slightly less time

[plucky wagon]

I... was afraid of this...

3 Characters and multiple enemies makes the game CRAWL to a slow

7 FPS just isnt playable

I was able to kinda roll with 10-15 FPS

but 7 FPS just isnt playable for me

[ornate estuary]

Try lowering the resolution

[charred girder]

What resolution are you on? As Corey said, try a lower setting. Even 720p should look plenty good.

[ornate estuary]

That is 720

Title bar says 3x

[charred girder]

Ah darn. Sounds like it's time to upgrade to a Lenovo Thinkpad T480

[full snow]

Hi @torn sluice I fw you heavy and cannot wait for your next addition.

Idk why I pinged you, I just wanted you to know I appreciate the work you do

[torn sluice]

You're welcome. I'm glad to be part of this in some ways. LoD has a special place in my heart ❤️

I give 99% of the credits to Mono and gang though

1% sufficient for me

[charred girder]

It's a team effort! <3

[ornate estuary]

I have some comments on your PR btw

[torn sluice]

The discord one?

[ornate estuary]

Yeah

[torn sluice]

Replied to everything

The only real follow up is the engine state stuff

I'm not sure what you'd want there instead

Somehow started a review by accident

[plucky wagon]

even retail resolution is dying

[torn sluice]

It is a shockingly bad laptop

impressive in its own rights

[charred girder]

what laptop is this, exactly?

[plucky wagon]

idk, a dell I think

Dell

yeah

[charred girder]

model number pls

[plucky wagon]

Inspiron 15 3000

I think thats it

ive had it for years as well

[charred girder]

Hmmm

[plucky wagon]

so its an old, crappy laptop with ware and tear

[charred girder]

I think you're riding the edge of SC compatibility, at first glance. Impressive.

For context I have an Acer Aspire 3
https://www.acer.com/us-en/laptops/aspire/aspire-3-amd/pdp/NX.KJBAA.001

[plucky wagon]

ive REALLY been in the mood to play LoD again, it sucks that this is my only means of playing SC rn

Any chance you have plans to shadow drop a Wii U or PS3 Port of SC tomorrow?

XD

[charred girder]

Hah, nope. But we'll do our best to keep supporting older hardware, and keep SC running very lean.

Corey is awesome about that.

[plucky wagon]

the weird part is that it runs decently well on the maps and running around

anywhere from 50-80 FPS

which isnt ideal

but its way better than the battles

[ornate estuary]

There's way less to render on submaps

Battles are full 3D

[full snow]

Quality of Death

MY MESSAGE DOESNT MAKE SENSE ANYMORE

Look at cat

Cat is great

[balmy ridge]

Kitty! :3

[full snow]

[harsh jetty]

What’s this?

[full snow]

Fork that has really good QoL improvements to base SC

You can find all the changes here

https://github.com/FrancisDionne/Severed-Chains/releases/tag/experimental

Real tough to scroll to the top manually

[charred girder]

I dunno about mobile, but on Desktop the OPs are accessible.

@harsh jetty see here for more info: #1307995361918586911 message

[full snow]

I've tried using that, but it doesnt consistently drag me up all the way

Sometimes it just doesnt scroll at all

[charred girder]

That's odd. I only have that problem with Search, not the Top button. xD

thanks Discord.

[torn sluice]

Yeah jumping to top only scrolls up to this for me

very annoying

You have to like scroll up a bit before you jump to top otherwise it doesnt work

[charred girder]

like jumping to a nearby platform in a game, and noooot quite making it.

[torn sluice]

Anyway I shadow dropped the stats late at night but yeah they're in and ready to use

let me know if more stats needed

I tried to do revive/revived but I couldn't find a place to insert it. I think it's not exposed

oh and disclaimer, they will only properly work on new games

Picture for posterity

[charred girder]

Getting better and better.

[plucky wagon]

WE GOT FORCED 4:3

Ive been asking for that for, like months lol

The SC Team is the BEST

[charred girder]

Any chance for a more contrasting color, regarding the text of the far-left column and far-right column?

[torn sluice]

easy enough

[plucky wagon]

I feel like my biggest issue is how it will look at retail resolution

those numbers are TINY

and whatever Font is used for the added menus DOESNT scale well for Retail

[torn sluice]

Who plays on retail resolution anyway 🤓

[plucky wagon]

when you run on a Crappy Laptop and have no other way to play...

I do

XFD

[torn sluice]

Just switch to 480 if you wanna look at it

[plucky wagon]

I feel like all the New Font needs to be able to be read on Retail Resolution anyways, just for posterity

[torn sluice]

it's readable at 480

[plucky wagon]

barely

[torn sluice]

yes but readable

[full snow]

That'd be kinda difficult to squeeze in on one screen, yeah?
Maybe a scrollable/multiple page one?

Iunno

Whatever Sen wanna do

[torn sluice]

I stayed away from scrolling

[plucky wagon]

maybe it could be like the status screen or something, where you move through the party to see stats for each

and then an extra one at the end for the total stats

[charred girder]

may suck initially, but keep in mind there is a giant UI / Menu overhaul coming in the future. All of this will be moot eventually with proper font support. :)

[torn sluice]

That's not very useful for comparing

[plucky wagon]

eitherway, the size of it wasnt my issue

its just that every letter turns into 9 pixels on Retail is all

but if theres a UI Overhaul coming, then hopfully that fixes it

[torn sluice]

coming™

Cmon it's not that bad

[plucky wagon]

and the point is that the other in game retail text doesnt do this, every word is still easily readable on lower resolutions

[torn sluice]

I can read 0

[full snow]

My first eye exam:

[plucky wagon]

My Favorite Number

fvb;u

[full snow]

"Uhh, 2, 2, 5? Is that an 8?"

fvb;u too >:(

Oh boy, my favorite boss...

So real

[plucky wagon]

In case you cant tell, thats SUPPOSED to be Urobolus

[full snow]

my absolute hardest challenge run is gonna be 240

smallest window size

Hidden reticle

Hardest addition, retail feedback

No items

worst audio

[plucky wagon]

Harder Feedback

[full snow]

TRUE

[plucky wagon]

throw in -5 Timing if you wanna be a pedantic

[full snow]

Sen should make a Inconvenience of Life mod

[plucky wagon]

Retail Encounters

[full snow]

Where addition timing can vary from -17 to +5 frames

[plucky wagon]

I would die

XD

I couldnt man

one that purpously makes the game run as bad as my Laptop makes it run

fuck your frames, now it runs at 8-13 FPS during battles

5 FPS if its a boss

[torn sluice]

Turbo mode always on

[plucky wagon]

except for when you are walking around

[torn sluice]

anyway very curious what stats would end up looking like at the end of a legit playthrough so if anyone makes it there take a snap

[plucky wagon]

Id do it, if I could stand playing the game at 5 FPS for more than a few fights

[torn sluice]

Time to upgrade that laptop

[plucky wagon]

That costs money

I have no mone

[full snow]

Deadass try to buy a local school computer

Hella cheap with decent specs that would play SC at a satisfactory level

[full snow]

Oh

Disregard

[torn sluice]

Pretty sure you could get a used one for very cheap on like ebay and it would be better than what you have

[full snow]

Yours is on its last legs big dawg

[torn sluice]

For the money part you'll have to figure that out

[full snow]

You said it was fresh playthrough right?

Well

[torn sluice]

It works on any

[full snow]

More stable on a fresh one?

[torn sluice]

but you'll start at 0

[full snow]

Ahh, gotcha

Makes sense

From now on, the stats should be saved with newer updates, yeah?

[torn sluice]

Yeah

It's not ideal but I think messing with the actual save file would've been messy so it's an external file for now

so long as you move them together you'll keep everything

[torn sluice]

fixed a few things and added a stat for Exp Gained

[plucky wagon]

I can never tell, how can I tell when you merge the new Dev Build Features into the new QoL Build

like the Forced 4:3 Option

[charred girder]

Sen tends to post when there's an update.

[full snow]

Hes on top of it

quickfast

[torn sluice]

It's already in

[plucky wagon]

idk How I always miss it

[torn sluice]

I sync to main pretty often

[plucky wagon]

but I swear, i go here instantly from the new Dev Build Announcment

and I dont see anything from you

[torn sluice]

Unless I haven't been active for a while I don't really mention it

it's just implied when I'm making new builds

[plucky wagon]

I dont like Implications lol, Implicatinos leads to assumtions

and you know what Assuming does

it makes an Ass out of U and Me

[torn sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-lol-ok-um-funny-gif-17043883

[plucky wagon]

My dad used to make that joke a lot lol

[full snow]

Sure, but back on a somewhat serious note

He doesnt have any obligation to update or work on it, so however he wants to go about updating it is what we'll get, yk?

Maybe im taking it too serious

[torn sluice]

If you need something from main just let me know and I'll sync and rebuild whenever I can

Or tell you it's already in

[plucky wagon]

nah, I didnt mean to be rude, I just dont know when you update is all

I could actually,

wait

I can see when you last updated on the github

[full snow]

Yeah

[torn sluice]

I always increase the version number too

[full snow]

Its usually after he posts a video on what he added

Like this morning (for me)

[plucky wagon]

like I can remember the version number im on

I cant remember what I had for lunch yesterday

XD

wait, you make videos?

[torn sluice]

Well if you keep the build in the folder I put it in you'll know

[torn sluice]

Pictures that move yes

[plucky wagon]

where if I may ask?

[torn sluice]

#1307995361918586911 message

[plucky wagon]

oh that

tbf, I couldnt tell if that was an update on top of the brand new dev build or one seperate from the dev build

im bad at this ok

lol

[torn sluice]

it's separate but I keep it sync'ed as best I can

[full snow]

Ye, just let him know and he'll update it

LIKE WITH TURN ORDER

[torn sluice]

right now I'm active so it's updated a lot but when I go inactive if you need something from main you should ping me here

[ornate estuary]

@torn sluice you should match your version to the SC build number

[torn sluice]

Like 3.0.0?

[ornate estuary]

Nah the build number that's incremented for every release

[plucky wagon]

hey, I updated but it aint showing the 4:3 option

[torn sluice]

Sounds like you didn't update

[plucky wagon]

1.16.3 right?

thats the one I downloaded

[torn sluice]

nope

.4

[plucky wagon]

I swear, it said uploaded 17 minutes ago when I downloaded it

[torn sluice]

little gremlins

they messing around with you

[plucky wagon]

you cheated somehow

XD

you broke into my house and uninstalled me game

[torn sluice]

@ornate estuary Would you per chance like this on main?

[plucky wagon]

how do you keep one upping yourself lol

that looks great

[torn sluice]

I'm a QoL savant

[ornate estuary]

Zy is already working on graphics for it

[torn sluice]

[plucky wagon]

might need a poll to decide which one ends up looking better idk

[ornate estuary]

He's taken screenshots of every enemy in the game

[torn sluice]

Yeah so I heard

[plucky wagon]

ok well then

fair enough

[charred girder]

it may even change in the future, but modders will always be able to make their own version as Sen is demonstrating.

[torn sluice]

If you ever wanna just inject the pictures into that and save some time let me know

For now onto QoL it goes

Will be eagerly awaiting the merge conflicts at one point 😆

[ornate estuary]

Feel free to chat with @worn fern about it

[worn fern]

the biggest conflicting thing will be coremod i suspect.

[torn sluice]

It always is regardless because I fucked around with configs a lot 😆

Idk if you had another vision for it beyond the enemy pictures but if you want use my box let me know and I can set up a PR

[worn fern]

i guess i will just leak it

[torn sluice]

You don't have to

I was just giving an option

[plucky wagon]

I will never get over how odd, yet fitting having the new Icons are

[torn sluice]

Noice

[plucky wagon]

WOW

What do the numbers mean?

[ornate estuary]

I don't think rendering the turn values is a good idea Zy

Just gonna confuse people

[torn sluice]

I like it

[plucky wagon]

also, will there be at some point, FFX style, Turn order swapping when highlighting an action

You know, like when you Guard in FFX, and your character gets to go sooner, so right before you guard, the turn order updates to show you that you;ll take a second action sooner

I personally dont like the numbers cause they kinda dont mean anything to the average player

[torn sluice]

It would make sense if they were sorted

[plucky wagon]

but then they wouldnt be in order

[torn sluice]

but Idk if that's how the mechanics for turn work

[ornate estuary]

Actions don't reliably affect turn order

[plucky wagon]

yeah, but the order already updates when you do actions, whats stopping you from like, looking ahead to see if it will update the order, and change it early while selecting someone to do an action on

or something

idk exactly how it works under the hood

you said your already simulating forward to get the order

[torn sluice]

Time to do a simulation on a simulation Mono

[charred girder]

There are too many variables. It would be a Loki situation where a player can see every possible outcome. Might help you get a desired outcome, but you also run the risk of spending more time looking at timelines than actually playing the game haha.

[plucky wagon]

fair enough

[ornate estuary]

It's impossible because there is a random component to turn order

That's why sometimes the turn order changes after an attack or whatever

[worn fern]

i was originally making it for dramod before y'all yeeted me 😆 in dramod it displayed turn value so i kept that functionality here.

[plucky wagon]

I just personally dont see much of a reason for the turn order if theres no way to figure the turn order out consistantly thats all

[worn fern]

i can remove it.

[plucky wagon]

its a cool visual, and really neat

but idk, Im kinda mixed on it

[ornate estuary]

I would prefer to remove the turn value

[torn sluice]

Turn it off

[plucky wagon]

I have been, trying both on and off

Im not saying to stop working on it, god no

I think its neat

I just dont personally find it that great

its not for me It seems

[charred girder]

Nice thing about unofficial port compared to official remaster or remake.. you get to choose which parts you want. :)

Everyone wins, essentially.

[balmy ridge]

I kinda prefer Sen's version of the turn order graphics. Less space used and looks neater.(too me atleast)

[full snow]

I do agree

[torn sluice]

I think if he were to full screen instead of the default window size it would help a lot

[plucky wagon]

I like Zy's version personally, I think it looks more substantual, I just didnt like the numbers

just a reminder that should the thing go out of the 4:3 area, that it would need to be coded to not go off screen when the window gets resized or if 4:3 mode is on, which is why I assume theyve both put it within the 4:3 window

just to not have to do that

[worn fern]

Yes it attaches to the edge of the screen.

[worn fern]

My original goal was live 3d but too much work for rb3. In expedition 33 the current battle entity turn's is slightly bigger than the rest. If I copy that would shrink down the size. The end goal design wise was to make it look like honkai star rail's turn ordering system.

[harsh jetty]

i like that that looks good

[full snow]

@torn sluice Do you thinking something akin to a damage prediction could be implemented?

Example: Hovering over an enemy with an attack command would show how much damage they could deal to the character?

Actually, on second thought that seems like a lot of work

[torn sluice]

probably easier than you think

[full snow]

Cause its not only damage, its every enemy option, factoring statuses

[full snow]

Oh

Thats good to hear

[torn sluice]

Will I do it

That is another question

[full snow]

I understand

[plucky wagon]

could be a neat HP Bar Addition, like segment the bar based on how much it will take out, and color each section based on the amount of hits in the addition

[plucky wagon]

I cant turn off and on Turn Order Menu while as Shana

[torn sluice]

uuuuh

Ah yeah cuz she doesn't have additions

I probably nested it too low

[torn sluice]

Fixed that issue + added (fixed?) ability to show/hide turn order while targeting + added targeted allies/enemies

[full snow]

[hexed merlin]

? is the turn order thingy avaliable in the Qol update??

thye newest one i mean

[full snow]

Yes

[hexed merlin]

HM.. i can't find it

[full snow]

Did you enable it in the settings?

options*

[hexed merlin]

i cant find it in the options either

[full snow]

What's your current version?

[hexed merlin]

1.16.7

[full snow]

Huh, thats weird

[full snow]

@torn sluice could you help me out here?

Im not at my PC, I cant double check on my end

[torn sluice]

It's not an option

just press square

[full snow]

@hexed merlin Was it not showing up mid battle for you?

[hexed merlin]

? nope ill try again

... square...

dammit imma durp

thank you!

[full snow]

Thanks Sen

[plucky wagon]

I was thinking about how cool the Stat screen looked, then an idea popped in my head, what if there was a Bestiary?

like, it auto updates when you beat the enemy for the first time

[plucky wagon]

huh

I just crashed

Follow the instructions I gave you again

[plucky wagon]

what instructions

[ornate estuary]

To get around your CPU not supporting libopus

[plucky wagon]

this didnt happen when trying to run the game

this crashed in the middle of dragooning

I used Rose's Dragoon

and during the transformation, it crashed

[ornate estuary]

Ah, XA audio also uses libopus

You won't be able to use dragoons or listen to the credits music

[plucky wagon]

😦

well shit

[ornate estuary]

I haven't had time to talk to the lwjgl dev to see if there's anything he can do about it

[torn sluice]

Yeah I could definitely do that. Although I would probably offload any lore writing it might have to someone else

But before I do that I would definitely require a picture of each enemy

If only someone was in the process of taking every enemy's picture

cough cough ||@worn fern|| cough cough

For all I know you already have a bestiary 😆

[plucky wagon]

My thought was a simple page for everything with thier Element, Basic Stats, the works you know

but having LORE would be sick too

little fluff descriptions of each one

[torn sluice]

yeah I can gamify it too

unlocking bits of info behind a kill count

[plucky wagon]

of course, the bosses would be unlocked after only 1 kill

for obvious reasons

[torn sluice]

of course

[plucky wagon]

So what exactly is the line we drawing for the Descriptions

like, are we suggesting lore? are we clarifying lore? are we making up sudo lore for the areas?

[torn sluice]

A mix of everything

[plucky wagon]

Assassin Cock - Stiffens its beak when attacking as to not give itself headaches when defending itself from predators

[worn fern]

you want the psd?

[torn sluice]

Gladly

[charred girder]

indeed. It's already on the general wishlist.

[full snow]

@torn sluice Do you think there is a way to make stats configurable in options?

[torn sluice]

In example?

[full snow]

Oh, sorry, I didn't specify
Character stats

As in changing attack, defense, agility, magic attack, magic defense.

And you'd be able to change their stats by 1 with up/down and 5 with right/left

[torn sluice]

what

Are you saying you want to make characters weaker/stronger

[full snow]

Yes

And if that would be possible to change in the options menu

It probably doesnt qualify as QoL

[torn sluice]

definitely not

[full snow]

I understand

I could make it a personal project to try and create that mod

Then make it compatible with your fork

[charred girder]

This has been a thing for a long time, luckily for you!

[full snow]

Oh Pog

[charred girder]

Long story short, wait for the updated version of Dragoon Modifier to release. This upcoming version will be compatible with devbuild / SC 3.0.

DraMod is mainly about the two tougher difficulty settings tailor-made by its author, Zychronix. It rebalances characters and makes fights tougher, and it also has some new game mechanics.

However, the side-benefit is that you can freely swap between JP, NA, and JP Demo presets.

On top of that, you can simply copy-paste one of those presets as a basis, rename it, and go inside that copied folder to edit all sorts of stuff. Player stats, drop rates, et cetera. So, look forward to that coming out soon.

[torn sluice]

Or press F12

[charred girder]

For the current battle, yes.

[torn sluice]

Hmm I was under the impression it was a permanent tweak on their stats

[charred girder]

Nope, it all evaproates once the battle is over.

[torn sluice]

well then scratch that

[charred girder]

DraMod is the best choice for a non-programmer unless we get difficulty editing for core SC someday.

[torn sluice]

I could probably do that "easily"

but it'd be more like

-/+ 50% HP/Damage/etc on enemies

[charred girder]

DraMod used to have simple sliders up/down for base stats. IDK if that is returning, but it was in the emulator tool's UI years ago.

the approach is indeed simpler and may still help lots of people have fun. Compared to "here's the entire leveling table, you wanted to edit the EXP required for all 413 levels the party can get, right?"

we already have Battle Rewards Mod for exp adjustment, but you get the idea.

same thing will apply when it comes to adjustments for AT, MAT, DF, drop rates.. all the table data. \o/

[full snow]

I know that DraMod is coming soon, but I'm moreso looking for a mod I can just slap on and freely change stats on. I couldn't find it in the threads with keywords so I just figured I'd ask

[full snow]

I used this a year or so ago and even introduced it to a friend on their first run for some QoL

[vale kite]

DraMod looks like it's going to be amazing and I'm highly looking forward to it, will it be compatible with the quality of life improvement mod?

[torn sluice]

If there isn't any code change then it should be. But if it's a mod much like mine that messes with the code then they would have to be merged into one entity to be compatible

[balmy ridge]

I have no idea what the hell I did here. (Posting here since I', playing this build of the game)

Oh wait now I remember, Lavitz tried attacking as a dragoon in human form for some reason.

[torn sluice]

o_o

I want to say that sounds very unlikely it comes from my tweaks

[ornate estuary]

Just throwing it out there, we've never seen anything like that from any of our testers 😛

[full snow]

Lvl 13, so around Hellena 2?

[torn sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/say-it-aint-so-weezer-band-singing-gif-15577270

[ornate estuary]

If that's a crash recovery save, sometimes the display location doesn't get set properly but it'll still load to the right place

[full snow]

I havent noticed any weirdness around there

(Hmm I wonder why I'm going through early game a lot )

The answer is Lenus 1

She is pretty tricky without item healing

[torn sluice]

Was it like during a normal attack or was it more like you killed the boss and the "cutscene" animation of dart running in for the kill

[balmy ridge]

It was a normal attack on a Hellena Warden.

I WAS messing with Rose's SP in the combat at the time.

[torn sluice]

MMMMHMMMMMM

[balmy ridge]

I prolly fucked with the debugger to much lol

[full snow]

Checks out

[torn sluice]

I declare myself not guilty until it happens again and you haven't slept with the debugger

[full snow]

Trying to set Lavitz to 0 HP made him die, slump over

Get a turn, revive with a Guard

Then slumped over again after he healed

Debugger do bug

[full snow]

Ayo?

Gotta buy the debugger dinner, flowers and wine first.

[ornate estuary]

0 HP != dead

Dead is its own flag

[torn sluice]

I had to find that out on my own yes 😆

Speaking of which, is there an event exposing revive/being revived or is that still in scripts

I searched a bunch and came up empty

[ornate estuary]

Buried deep within the script mines

[torn sluice]

Ok good

[ornate estuary]

Good luck

[torn sluice]

Nope

https://tenor.com/reOzLSvXQqX.gif

People will have to live without that stat for a while

[plucky wagon]

I have a feeling, based on your questions in #⛓️‍💥severed-chains that the next major update might be displaying how much damage an option does apon selection, probably displayed next to the enemy selected

at least, thats what the questions read to me

I am excited to see that

[full snow]

Smart prediction!

[vale kite]

oooo that sounds awesome

Now all we need is a Google sheet of ecery enemy and someone to go through and make bios for em all

[charred girder]

It's almost as though that's already in development.

[full snow]

[plucky wagon]

😮

[torn sluice]

you mean like that?

🤯

[torn sluice]

Bestiary 1.0 is now available on the QoL Build
Disclaimer again, won't have entries prior to wherever your current save might be. Will need a new save file to be properly fully completable

I didn't test all entries to see if they unlock upon kill but it should work for at least 95%. Keep an eye out and report if anything does not unlock properly. Bosses are more at risk of this., but I tested Shirley that you technically don't even kill and it works so I'm pretty confident it's all good

To come one day™:

• Order the entries in order of appearance
• Descriptions
• Status effect resistances
• Better photos for some enemies

[plucky wagon]

Ive always said, the ebst order for a Bestiary is:
Easiest Earliest Normal Enemies to Hardest Latest Normal Enemies
(aka Seles Solders would go first, Triceratops on the Moon would probably be last)
Earliest to Latest Boss Enemies
(aka Seles Commander would be first, Melbu Frama would be last)

All the Random Normal Enemies are categorised by area, followed by all the bosses in order

[plucky wagon]

Ok, I have an interesting conundrum, whats the consensus on duplicate enemies with minor stat chnages

Obviously someone like Kongol needs 2 entries, sure, but what about the Sandoria Elite?

what about the Commander

what about the Crafty Thief

even crazier, what about the Sandora Knight

the ones in the Marshland area

theres technically 2 of the exact same guy, with one having Fire Element, and the other has Water Element

whats the idea going into that, are they gonna have different Pages for each variation?

Crafty Thief's appear in the first Mappi Fight as backup, and then appear as normal enemies in the HoG

HoG variants have less HP and actually give out EXP and Gold, while the backups on the Mappi fight has more HP and doesnt give rewards

so are they different pages

thats kinda what I wanna sort out

[charred girder]

Sandora Elite must have two entries. There's no point if we start excluding things.

Fire Spirit is closer to being justified for removal. However, even though it's a 1-AT difference, the drop rate is also different. It's up to Sen whether he wants to create a modified display for that page, or just list both.

Both Crafty Thieves should be included. All other boss minions are already being featured, and the CT minions differ from the minor enemy variant, so there's nothing wrong with listing both.

All of the variants for Knight of Sandora, Sandora Soldier, and Hellena Warden should also be included.

The thing is, once you start plucking things out, you create inconsistencies; so it's better to just list everything. It doesn't cause any harm.

Besides, astute players will inevitably point out "hey I think you're missing one of the Knights of Sandora," or "where's the other Crafty Thief?" Imagine all the user reports these exceptions would result in.

[queen comet]

auto battle would be a nice feature to add

[charred girder]

What kind of auto battle? Just looping encounters until you turn it off?

[queen comet]

Party auto attacking enemys

[vale kite]

like a turbo mode im guessing, would be interesting with auto addition turned on

[torn sluice]

At that point you just don't wanna play the game

Turn off encounters instead 😩

[queen comet]

What if I want to grind or something? kind of annoying having to go into settings all the time

[torn sluice]

Then you should grind, I don't think the game should do it for you

https://tenor.com/view/baby-boomer-back-in-my-day-in-the-olden-days-gen-x-gen-z-gif-16955418269166266782

[full snow]

I somewhat understand, but also I feel that encounters are generally short enough to just fast forward and auto addition through

Sure it isnt technically auto battling at that point, but its a few X presses

[plucky wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/back-to-the-future-babys-toy-confused-gif-12372619

[plucky wagon]

perfect, thats exactly what I wanted to hear, in that case, ive already started sorting the enemies

I was up to the Mappi Fight before I was like, "I probably should get clarification on these outliers first"

In case you're wondering, Bosses, Boss Summons, and Boss Backups are down here

And Unique Monsters are here

as for the order between enemies in the same area, I generally tried to put the smaller, easier, more common enemy first, and put the harder, less common enemy last for each section

so Man Eating Bud obviously goes last in the Dragon's Nest roster

you know?

[charred girder]

The work is already being done. Next time, please ask what we're intending?

[torn sluice]

They're just trying to help. It comes from the same passion. If anything it helps and we can use it as double check for errors

[charred girder]

I agree with you. It isn't about that.

[plucky wagon]

Honestly, In started this list for my own enjoyment, got to the end of Disk 1, and thought, "I wonder if they could use this" but then It occured to me that I didnt even know what y'all were and wern't counting, which is why I asked

[charred girder]

Sen asked me to help with sorting, so I agreed. That's all I wished to convey - your own edification is still a valid reason. I make sheets for my personal use, despite there being existing sources sometimes. It's just fun.

[plucky wagon]

yeah, exactly

I was just curious what the Sort would look like for the sort I had in my head

[charred girder]

I think, I just wanted a chance to say yeah, we want the feature as well, so rest assured it's on the way. Sen already sorted part of it for me, so technically he stole the work he asked me to do. 🤪

[plucky wagon]

lol, its a addicting thing to do

[charred girder]

Since there's no exact perfect way, I'd imagine we can all see it turning out slightly different. Definitely.

[torn sluice]

What can I say, it's just in my DNA to make's someone's job the easiest I can when I ask them for a favor

A few code lines and I save you a bunch of work !

[plucky wagon]

My Sort is more akin to what you'd find in a Final Fantasy Bestiary, with the Enemies and the Bosses Seperated from each other

[torn sluice]

I wouldn't be against keeping bosses all together at the bottom of the list

[charred girder]

For simplicity I imagine there will only be one sort order, but knowing Sen maybe he's up for giving sort options in the next.. ten seconds.

[torn sluice]

I could add a line as a separator for different groups

[plucky wagon]

I will say, Im already thinking of moving the Unique Monsters between the Enemies and Bosses

since they kinda dont fit below the Bosses on my list

[charred girder]

The best part is, you can have three copies with three sort orders and they're all beautiful.

[plucky wagon]

plus throw in Alphebetical for compeltion I guess

why not

[torn sluice]

there's already 5

#, Alpha, Element, Completion, Defeated

[charred girder]

I must have missed it? Or new update?

[plucky wagon]

ok, you're gonna have to fill me in on what those sort

What is Alpha

[torn sluice]

It's from a few days ago so you missed it

[plucky wagon]

or Completion

[torn sluice]

Why don't you go download the build and find out 😄

Alpha is you know

letters

A,B,C,D,E

[plucky wagon]

oh, Alphabetical

[torn sluice]

Completion just sorts with those you haven't seen at the top

Meant to ease the job when you're trying to find what you haven't completed

[plucky wagon]

ok, heres a question

Magician Bogey

Boss or Not?

they have slightly more health than the normal enemies, but arent refightable, you cant run from them, you need to fight them to continue, but they also arent unique, as in theres more than 1 of them

Im inclined to say that it should be counted as a Boss, dispite it being split across 2 fights

the Bogey and Skeletons fight, then the 3 Bogey fight

[torn sluice]

in order of appearance solves that problem neatly

[plucky wagon]

yeah, but im not doing that lol,

contigencies be damned lol

eh, Im counting it as a Boss

fuck it

It has alot more HP than the Ghost Knights

and those are gonna be down with the Bosses

fuck t

[full snow]

I wouldnt say so with a somewhat simple approach

It doesnt trigger boss music

In the resource archive we class that as a scripted / special battle, as they aren't renewable encounters. But for the purposes of game mechanics, they are minor enemies. This is because they are susceptible to things like instakill (TV and Demon's Gate)

[plucky wagon]

that being said, Freugels pets are listed in my sort with the bosses

[charred girder]

it gets weird sometimes. In another example, one wouldn't expect to be able to nuke Guftas or Rodriguez with TV/DG. Those two definitely are not meant to be seen as minor enemies. They are signature minions that prevent the fight from being a total pushover.

[plucky wagon]

same braincell

lol

[charred girder]

great minds

I hope that explains some of the nuance.

however, you can consider the scripted Skeletons to be just like the scripted Gangster encounter.

[plucky wagon]

yeah, I think since it is seen multiple times, and its proven that they arent unique, as in there are multiple of them

Im gonna move it to General Enemy

just a much stronger General Enemy

is that general enough?

[plucky wagon]

I am the very model of a Modern Major General

How does one work in these conditions

[plucky wagon]

I usually dont use Light Mode, but I genuenly just cant see the values if its dark mode on Google Sheets

plus, I havent really found an extension that works flawlessly for Google Sheets

[torn sluice]

You can tweak colors of the cell to suit your needs

it's not perfect but it's a lot nicer on the eyes

[plucky wagon]

ok, real talk... Wendigo

obviously a boss, no doubt

but what about his Heart

will it get its own page lol

[torn sluice]

Do you make a page for each limb of virage

[plucky wagon]

I mean, I figured so

Each one has thier own stats, and do different attacks, but in the end, thats up to you

[torn sluice]

in the best of cases I manage to make a sub-page for monsters like that where you can cycle through sub-entries

[charred girder]

as someone with eyestrain I love dark grey bg with off-white text.

[torn sluice]

but I don't have much of an appetite for it
