[humble vector]

They'd be wildly different tho.

[hidden breach]

I could do that but then that implies including Sausages, and it feels wrong to have them there and not in the fish video

Not just wrong but it makes things unnecessarily harder to do when it comes to producing the videos

[humble vector]

Ideally, they'd be grouped based on how functionally similar they are.

So the script would be more concise and cohesive.

[hidden breach]

yes

Otherwise I'd essentially be reexplaining the same weapon twice

[dull light]

Driller reference! (Level 4 song)

[hidden breach]

Wow

that was an unintentional pun xd

[humble vector]

Like they say, pun un-intended.

[hidden breach]

ah yes

amazing

[dull light]

Another pun spotted! Un-intended!

Bigun

Green Big Un

Red Big Un

Yellow Big Un

[humble vector]

Looks like you texted very quickly. 😏

[latent heart]

Fish n sausage can be in one video. But the others your choice :3

[hidden breach]

There is hardly any other weapon that is both rare enough to warrant this and can't be grouped with other weapons

Just tailgun and hearts

[humble vector]

Btw, they were already predetermined, according to my thumbnails folder. <:3

[hidden breach]

not worth combining them

That too yes

[latent heart]

These look good enough so yeah. No need to change anything then.

[humble vector]

I assume you already know which weapons would be part of each video then.

[hidden breach]

Forwarding the question here

[hidden breach]

Honestly the more I think about this question, the more it really doesn't make sense to me to make any of these, other than tips and tricks maybe...like tf are we meant to say for a green transporter or for a red bullet?

[humble vector]

If enemies were to be into production the same was as weapon guides, i.e. traditional videos, I reckon they'd be grouped together according to the art book.

Which would mean, low production costs.

[humble vector]

Fr btw.

[hidden breach]

Perhaps. I don't know what one would say about any of these though, other than showcasing their behavior and mentioning what weapons are effective or not

Well I won't be doing this anyhow. I will only do what I said in that comment.
Not obligating anyone else to do it either, just forwarding in case anyone wants to consider it, but also just more so in case anyone else wants to respond to the guy

I would consider a tips and tricks video though. Just no idea when I'd get around to it, nor do I wanna promise I'll do it. Don't mind if someone beats me to it and does it themselves either

[humble vector]

I do have ideas on how I'd showcase the enemies, but that could involve using a modified level for that purpose.
-# To cut off production costs.

Also, no guarantees would that happen.

[humble vector]

For the time being, the writers out there would be pitching some strategies for each enemy in narrative form within their respective articles. This will serve as a reference for anyone interested to make enemy showcase videos.

Also, making individual wiki articles about enemy bullets feel way too specific for the same reasons you have.

[hidden breach]

Yeah

[humble vector]

Just a casual greetings right here...

[hidden breach]

Hmmst?

[humble vector]

Hi there, so is the homing missiles guide in production or not yet.
-# Ofc, I don't mean to pressure you in that regard.

[hidden breach]

Nah. I'll start today or tomorrow

[humble vector]

I see.

Well, I hope you have fun with one of the complex weapons in the game.

[hidden breach]

I'm sure I shall

[humble vector]

NGL, this was a beautiful takedown of the starfish

[hidden breach]

Taking homing missiles first to launch the missiles before taking another weapon?

[humble vector]

WDYT of it?

[hidden breach]

Already been doing it myself for a very long time

And planned to include it in the guide

[humble vector]

I remember Neon saying that something like that sounds like not really using homing missiles.

But honestly, I disagree with his opinion.
-# We still technically use homing missiles, so yeah.

Here's another comment by Neon worth highlighting here:
"if the best way to use homing missiles is to get the powerup duration then use something else, that means homing missiles are bad"

-# Yes, those messages are kinda close to each other, but I think it's still worth forwarding both here. :p

[hidden breach]

I kinda see his points but this isn't the "best way to use them", this is the best way to use them if you didn't intend to actually get them. It just means you should be taking them for the missiles right before taking whatever you actually wanted every time

Well, I do agree the weapon is bad anyway. It's sort of a...idk, noob weapon I guess

Which isn't to say I don't use it myself at all, but usually there are better alternatives

[humble vector]

It's definitely a noob weapon for sure. :D

[humble vector]

But anyway, this does sound like an advanced tip imo.

[hidden breach]

Kinda

Advanced maybe in the sense that not everyone would think to do it, but it's easy to do still

[humble vector]

Yeah, it's mainly the positioning that needs to be fine-tuned for the best results.

[hidden breach]

To be honest I rarely do that myself. Feels like a hassle. I just take them and they go wherever they feel like lol

[humble vector]

That's true lol

[hidden breach]

Well it's not so much a hassle as it just requires you to know level layouts well enough that you can time it correctly

[humble vector]

NGL, I do have solid results with homing missiles when dealing with the only major enemies of L3A2.

[hidden breach]

Yeah, I probably said it before but that is one of the only places where I use it myself also

But ever since they added the starfish to that segment on harder difficulties, I don't even know if it's better over taking autofire, with which you can focus an enemy you want

Are you confused on what I'm referring to? There are two starfish that appear sometime after the pink squid does. At least on Nasty

[humble vector]

Just thinking about whether autofire is more viable or not.

[hidden breach]

With homing missiles, who knows which of the 3 they will target

[humble vector]

DW, I'm not confused.

[hidden breach]

Well, I never compared the two truthfully so idk if autofire is better or not

Gotcha

But yeah this is all in theory

Like, it's better to focus down an enemy than trying to evenly damage all 3 of them. 3 enemies that are all at 50% hp are as dangerous as if they were at full health, but 2 full health enemies and one dead are not. But with homing missiles, you hardly have a choice

[humble vector]

That's painfully true. ;w;

[latent heart]

-# the homing missile sometimes betrayed me especially in Nasty

[dull light]

Just had an idea.

How about we rename the wiki to Claymatipedia?

[humble vector]

Not bad of a suggestion mate.

However, we'll be needing a consensus for that.

Plus we need to let @young tendon, the creator of the wiki, know about the renaming conventions.

[dull light]

The URLs for Claymatipedia should be like this:

https //claymatipedia com/Platypus_Reclayed

[hidden breach]

Claymatipedia? I could have sworn the message said claypedia before

Idk which sounds better, but claypedia is shorter...

[dull light]

Well, to make it sound like a pun of Claymatic and encyclopedia.

[humble vector]

Ye, it did. :p

[dull light]

I think Claymatipedia is an even better name.

[humble vector]

We'll see what Spikyyn thinks of it tho.

[young tendon]

I can't believe i'm paying $11 for this

[humble vector]

WTF

[young tendon]

my mom's wallet won't allow me to, unless its a game or online product that I wanted

even if it's $6.5 for just one year by using a promo code, meh

[hidden breach]

Don't get it if you gotta pay for it

[young tendon]

well, the current domain we have now is cheaper

$3/year

[hidden breach]

I think the name was suggested under the assumption the change would be free

If it's paid then just don't

Claymatic Wiki is perfectly fine

[humble vector]

For sure.

[young tendon]

yes

simpler, and easier to remember for me

[dull light]

Let's just stick to Claymatic Wiki

[hidden breach]

Yes

But thanks for the suggestion anyway

[hidden breach]

Sorry, I've been occupied with other things but I finally got around to getting the footage for homing missiles today. If not today, I will try to get to editing and possibly finishing the video tomorrow

[hidden breach]

I will hold off from actually publishing the video till Monday because I need Kroporo to tell me how the target priority works for homing missiles. I will still work on the video though, it's mostly just one line of text that depends on the answer, but I still want to make sure it's not wrong. If I finish the video before Monday, I will just move on to the next while waiting for the answer

[hidden breach]

Surprisingly the video turned out rather long...or maybe it's not so surprising. Idk

I will send a version without voiceover for you to see, as usual. Then I will add voiceover after getting feedback

https://youtu.be/2g0g4iEk8IE

[humble vector]

I can feel your transparency with homing missiles. ;-;

[hidden breach]

lol

[humble vector]

It's quite the departure seeing that the video has you saying you are not fond of the weapon, yet tell the viewers to not be discouraged by it. Granted that it is generally a subpar weapon, objectively speaking.

[hidden breach]

Well it's hard to show it off in a better light when you have that in mind

[humble vector]

For sure.

[hidden breach]

It's quite the departure seeing that the video has you saying you are not fond of the weapon, yet tell the viewers to not be discouraged by it
I'm honestly not sure what you mean. It's basically me saying that just because it may not be a good weapon, and the fact I don't like it myself, doesn't mean people shouldn't use it if they want to anyway

[humble vector]

Hmmm...
Well, what I mean is, admitting that you are not fond of the weapon in the video rather than only relegating it to the reply to a comment, as with the case for Sonic Pulse, is something that hasn't been done before.

[hidden breach]

I see

Ig it may be a good thing or a bad thing but it's me allowing myself to be slightly more personal with the videos

[humble vector]

Well, that's fair.

At least you provided a lot of applications of the weapon to prove your point with your thoughts on the weapon near the end.

[hidden breach]

Thanks

I think I was still objective enough and the examples were reasonable. I believe it's good enough to prove all my points

[latent heart]

-# I love torturing myself using this weapon. 🙃

Green uns got destroyed before even enter the screen lmao.

The dragonfly is worse

[hidden breach]

I actually tried getting footage of the missiles targetting a dragonfly over the boss that was on the screen, but they didn't do it

They just went after the boss every time

I know for a fact they used to go for dragonflies though

Idk if their targetting has been changed to have dragonflies at low priority

or idk

[humble vector]

Ah yes, I vividly remember that goddamn interaction during the demo.

[hidden breach]

Ok looking at the footage, I just noticed they went for the fireball/rockets dragonfly that is near the end of the video

the one in 1-3

lol

So it's still a thing

Hmm do I mention it?

In the video, I mean

Hmm honestly, yes I should

[latent heart]

Missing a single star power-up can be a huge impact. So yeah

[hidden breach]

Indeed

I just realized I sort of repeat myself in that segment oops

Or...does it count as repeating myself? idk

[humble vector]

Sounds like it, but how far are they from each other?

If they are far enough, then it would feel more like reminding the viewers.

[hidden breach]

Right next to eachother

lmao

[humble vector]

Then it's about time to cut the latter. :p

[hidden breach]

Yeah I cut it already, it's not necessary

[hidden breach]

Video is done, I will have to wait now for Kroporo. So video should be published tomorrow

[hidden breach]

Already started production of the Tail Gun video too, getting footage of it was really easy. Will prolly get to finish either tomorrow or on Tuesday

[humble vector]

LOL, a predominantly level 3 exclusive power-up.

OFC, can also be found during the train boss on expert or higher.

[hidden breach]

Yeah

[dull light]

You haven't uploaded Homing Missiles.

[humble vector]

Have you even read this Klasky?
-# I don't mean to be rude btw.

[hidden breach]

What about it?

[dull light]

Yes

[hidden breach]

@dull light ?

[dull light]

Yes

[hidden breach]

???

How does that answer my question

[humble vector]

You said he hasn't uploaded the final video yet, despite the schedule already being set to stone.

[dull light]

I already knew about this.

[humble vector]

He did state that it would be uploaded on Monday, but we have different time zones.

So I reckon it'll be officially released on Tuesday early morning in our time.

[hidden breach]

Entirely depends on when Kroporo answers too

[humble vector]

Ah yes, we can't forget about that.

Anyway, you could use a bit more patience Klasky.

[dull light]

Is there any plans you could do a guide for enemies?

[humble vector]

To reiterate, there are no plans at the moment, even long after the weapon guides are finished.

[hidden breach]

Kroporo says the missiles just target closest enemies...

It really doesn't feel that way at all to me

But I guess I will have to rewrite the guide a bit

[humble vector]

Same actually.

I often have my missiles target the approaching green big un when I'm literally near a frontal enemy like the squid.

[hidden breach]

Do I just leave the text as-is? Or just mention it's meant to target close, but tends not to do that?

[humble vector]

This?

Wait...

[hidden breach]

?

[humble vector]

Might as well review the prerelease video.

[hidden breach]

Wdym

[humble vector]

The text in the video. Is this what you meant?

[hidden breach]

Yeah

Iirc I wrote that they target left-most enemies

But Kroporo says it's just closest enemies

[humble vector]

Yes, that's the one

[hidden breach]

So the missiles are meant to target close but there is definitely a problem somewhere, at least Kroporo agrees on that, now I don't even know what to do. I'd have to ask one of the other devs, since he can't debug it and check, but chances are most if not all of them are on holidays

And idk what to do about the video in that case

[latent heart]

Ever considering delay the video a bit or until the dev check n fix it???

[hidden breach]

Well, I am

That is why I'm saying this, idk if I should just delay it

In any case I will wait for Psychosquid's opinion on this

I can always continue production of videos, that won't be stalled or anything, it's just that publishing them is going to get stalled

[latent heart]

I see. It’s a tough decision.

[latent heart]

-# maybe not really. But still as you mentioned

[hearty oyster]

the missiles feels really feels like trying to target the closest enemy but easily distracted by another closer enemies and targets that

[hidden breach]

That is not how they work though, they re-target after their current target is no longer valid. Otherwise they don't try to pick a new target once they choose one

This is how they're supposed to work anyway

[hidden breach]

Stu will have a look next week so ig till then we'll have to put the guide on hold

Oh god, I will have to get some of that footage again if it gets fixed...

[humble vector]

Delay the public releases until we get the devs to provide us more concrete answers.

[hidden breach]

Alright

[humble vector]

About the succeeding videos in production, I'm thinking of a day long interval from video to video when it comes to publishing.

[hidden breach]

That would be fine

[humble vector]

I remember you saying that releasing a few videos all at once might mess up the algorithm, or something. IDK.

[hidden breach]

Probably yes

[golden python]

@young tendon When you gonna make an article about Platypus ReMAM?

[young tendon]

after we made the modding wiki for the game

currently its TBA since im still busy with my other stuff

[humble vector]

Fair enough...

[dull light]

Hi. Do you mind adding the wiki pages for Desert Mission, Spooky Mission and Winter Mission?

[hidden breach]

I didn't manage to finish tailgun, as in add the voiceover, but at least I managed to do everything else I needed to do. Ima send the video real soon for you to see, as usual

https://youtu.be/_4RdfF2PjYM @humble vector

[humble vector]

I wonder what do you mean by the pod upgrade undermining the point of Tail Gun.
And about the Tail Gun usage on Nasty, any other area beside L3A1 is where there are far less risks, due to far less fodder enemies.

[dull light]

Oh, and why didn't we use Fandom for Claymatic wiki?

[humble vector]

Oh, one word:
ADS

No reader wants to have ads everywhere whenever they read the wiki.

[hearty oyster]

we should add nux ad to platypus 2 wikipage (actually don't do that)

[dull light]

Ah yes, the NUX alien in Platypus 2 Level 1 that pops up before the boss

[humble vector]

It's technically part of the Platypus II game, so anything's possible, depending on the consensus ofc.

[dull light]

NUX alien in Platypus 2 Level 1 that pops up before the boss

[hidden breach]

3-5 is risky too

If you carry it into phase 2

[humble vector]

True... :p

But then again, the player can just hold their fire until saucers containing wideshot and rockets are there.

[hidden breach]

Idk, it's hard to talk about the weapon properly given it's available for only a few specific areas, but then also may be given in dlc levels in the future (like winter mission)

[humble vector]

Since the subship is passive until a certain amount of damage is dealt.

[hidden breach]

Yeah. Like I said tho, it's relevant for more than one area if you count dlcs

[hidden breach]

Because they don't improve the rear gun in any way at all

Instead only improving the front gun, and that means that you will get to use the rear one less as well

[humble vector]

Oh, I figured as much. :0

[hidden breach]

Again it's not like it doesn't help. It's just ehhh

[humble vector]

It's more like it only marginally helps...

[humble vector]

True btw...

[hidden breach]

It does help, with the minor targets. It certainly did when I recorded footage

But I just don't like it

[humble vector]

For sure.

[humble vector]

I mean, wide shot with pods feel more viable than tail gun with pods.

Oh, random tangent:
I like how you used Terra Cresta as level 3 OST. It does say about your current preferences in Platypus OST.

[hidden breach]

I decided to use ocean loader for the og weapons, and terra cresta for the rest

[humble vector]

Nice details there. 😏

[hidden breach]

Which is why terra cresta is in hot dogs segments

But not in the rockets

Or at least I think that is how I did it...

[hidden breach]

That is to say, I don't genuinely have a preference

[humble vector]

I see.

[humble vector]

This does pay tribute to the days before Ocean Loader became legally available for use in Platypus Reclayed.

i.e., Claymatic was granted the license to use OL.

[hidden breach]

Sort of though tbh I would have done both slightly differently, like making the extra bullets for wide shot's pods spread a bit, and for the tail gun, make the pods shoot backwards too, also with slight spread

But yeah I think Wide Shot with pods is a bit better. Well, in general, I feel wide shot is more viable than tail gun

Esp thanks to nasty

But I didn't wanna mention other weapons in the video

[humble vector]

Yep, no need to deal with an omnidirectional onslaught of spinny bullets.

[hidden breach]

Actually, did I? I forget already

Anyway

I hope it answers both your questions from earlier

[humble vector]

They indeed do, so thx. :D

[hidden breach]

Np

Side note, I do genuinely like the weapon itself even if I much prefer Wide Shot. When I said I wish it were used more, I do mean it. It didn't get the love it deserved

[humble vector]

About the missiles guide, I bet other Claymatic staff are still unavailable for contact, if I'm not mistaken.

[hidden breach]

Actually

[humble vector]

For real.

[hidden breach]

That is why it's in the winter mission, cuz I told Anthony how little it appears in the main game and then how none of the dlcs have it at all too

For the record, winter mission didn't have it before

[hidden breach]

Must wait for next week

Then Stu will check

[humble vector]

No wonder Neon wanted to make a level dedicated to Tail Gun and even other weapons that can target enemies from behind.

It's part of the second level of Amp. Annhil. Mod.

[dull light]

You haven't uploaded Homing Missiles and you just did Tail Gun.

[humble vector]

They are all unlisted, so yeah.

[hidden breach]

I never played the second level but yes, I recall him saying he wanted to do that

[humble vector]

For all the reasons above.

[hidden breach]

Yeah I know what I did

[humble vector]

Oh, when it comes to playing mods, I'd recommend to start with simple yet interesting mods first, like AA, A Totally "Balanced" Mod, and Platypus+. Then move onto more complex ones like Casinopolis (once fully finished).
-# This is offtopic, but I feel like this is no biggie...

[hidden breach]

Maybe. I'll just play them in whatever order I feel like

Idk if there is any need to do it like this

[humble vector]

It could affect the expectations to other mods that are yet to be played by you.

[hidden breach]

In what way would it affect the experience?

[humble vector]

IDK, maybe like what the mods have to offer.

[hidden breach]

Idk if the order should affect things much

[humble vector]

IG the order doesn't really matter.

You have the autonomy to play whichever is first.

[hidden breach]

I'll just do it according to mood

[humble vector]

Sounds good.

[hidden breach]

It's still a good while away, given how many weapons there are in the game

Also another thing I intend to commit to is a full, deathless, perfect run of the game once the guide is fully finished. Maybe after I've played all the current mods too idk

[humble vector]

Two words:
Good luck...

[hidden breach]

Already been doing some practice runs to see how to cheese any parts I can, or just in general what the best strats are. But I won't be doing actual attempts yet

I did figure out how to cheese the spinner in 5-2 already

[hidden breach]

Thx

[humble vector]

The rest of us will probably see that for ourselves once the full run is published.

[hidden breach]

Indeed

Tho, I will give a hint. Just won't give an actual answer to what it is

[humble vector]

Fair. 😏

[hidden breach]

It's something that was used in the tail gun guide, which I actually only discovered just how powerful it really is rather recently

[humble vector]

Hehehe...

[hidden breach]

It's a lucky coincidence cuz it ofc helped the guide itself. If I didn't know of it, it would have been shorter

That is all

I also know for a fact that some bosses, namely boss 1, 3 and 5 will be very funny to deal with

[humble vector]

Also, it's something Tomek FM likes to do when up against approaching green big uns on his perfect nasty run on level 1.

[hidden breach]

Aha

Ig you may have figured it out

But idk. I never watched the actual video

So I just assume you did

[humble vector]

Yep, I did. :D

[hidden breach]

Actually in general the hardest parts of the game will be everything till obtaining Weapon Pods

[humble vector]

Trying to ace level 1 would be hard indeed.

[hidden breach]

Since it's a deathless run though, I can safely test any areas past 2-4 with the assumption I'll have pods

Otherwise if I don't have pods, it's because I died

Which means I reset anyway :p

[humble vector]

I sure do hope you have immense patience.

[hidden breach]

I will

I've done it in the original. This is much harder but I will do it

[humble vector]

Fingers crossed...

[hidden breach]

Boss 5 is prolly obvious but boss 3 I can show you why it's a little funky. I try to speedrun the fight basically

Maybe it's about time I moved to platypus discussion channel tho

[humble vector]

Ye. Although I'm personally lenient towards offtopics, it's always nice to later move to more appropriate places.

[dull light]

I think we can change the encounters of Saucers/Fish Fighters/Boomerangs by counting at them.

By not hitting them, we can count how many of each spawn in a level.

[hidden breach]

Of course we can

But we already knew that

The problem is the quantity, man

But you are welcome to count them yourself

[dull light]

For each difficulty

[hidden breach]

?

what

[dull light]

The quantity of these minor enemies, for each difficulty.

[hidden breach]

Well, yes

So, are you going to count them all?

[dull light]

I can count them for some sections, but the problem is that there's more for each difficulty.

[hidden breach]

Also isn't it easier to look at level scripts?

[latent heart]

This.

[humble vector]

Oh btw, good luck on counting them on PSP and Platypus 2. 😏

[hidden breach]

I pinned this for myself so I don't have to keep searching for the message every time. Will be removed after the guides are all finished

Ima voiceover tail gun rn and then record bombs and beans footage. Not sure I'll get to editing the video today tho

I'll prolly upload the tail gun video, add description and everything just so it's fully ready. I just won't publish till 1 day after homing missiles are published

[hidden breach]

wtf

Are beans somehow more common than bombs? lol

That is a first

[humble vector]

Say what!?

Hold on, lemme check the wiki.

[hidden breach]

Yeah I checked it, it's only by a few appearances, but the beans do appear more often

Even appearing in level 4 somehow

Despite bombs never appearing there

[humble vector]

Strange to say the least.

[latent heart]

I mostly saw Beans where the homing stars is there too

-# correct me if I'm wrong

[humble vector]

That seems to be the case too.

[hidden breach]

https://youtu.be/lCLZHHLr27k
Feel free to credit yourself for any videos you may have given suggestions for, tactics or anything (in addition to crediting yourself for the thumbnail). I should have said it before but yeah. Feel free to mention in description if you like

[dull light]

Homing missiles

[latent heart]

-# enemy chaser

[hidden breach]

Also don't forget thumbnail, as usual :3

[humble vector]

OFC, I won't publish it prematurely tho.

[hidden breach]

ye

[hidden breach]

Said this btw primarily because of homing missile usage with safes, as I did take that tactic from you, so you can mention it in description, comments or anything, but if there is anything of the sort in any of the other videos, this applies there too

[hidden breach]

The homing missile mystery has been solved, it turns out the missiles, once locked onto a specific enemy, will keep targetting that same enemy. This applies even to new homing missiles you launch. It explains everything...

[humble vector]

Was it confirmed by one of the devs?

[hidden breach]

Yes

I will have to wait for this to get fixed and then get almost all of the footage again

[hearty oyster]

so we're getting missile "buff"??

[latent heart]

Maybe. Cause fixing it might indirectly buff the homing imo

-# probably

[hidden breach]

We will see whether or not it works better or worse

[humble vector]

I wonder when will the next patch be released.

[hidden breach]

I can already think of one problem - bosses

The missiles will now prioritize enemy homing missiles if they are closer than bosses

Which could be really bad

And dragonflies are more likely to be targetted with this

[humble vector]

I wonder if there will be an entity flag that dictates if they would be untargeted by homing missiles?

I think something like this would be good, as it will also allow modders to configure which custom enemy will be untargeted by missiles.

[hidden breach]

You can suggest it to be modifiable but I suggested excluding anything that isn't considered a major nor minor enemy from being targetted

Or I could just forward what you said

[humble vector]

The one you suggested seems to be the easier solution, but I reckon having said entity flag will give more power among modders.

[latent heart]

interesting

[hidden breach]

I uploaded this to the wrong channel, can it please be deleted?

I can't do it myself

[humble vector]

I might as well watch it prior to deletion. :p

[hidden breach]

As you like, though I am going to reupload it to my own channel anyway

So it's not like it'll be gone entirely

[humble vector]

I can already see some differences with the missiles from the public version to your build.

-# Well, sort of...

[hidden breach]

kindaaa

It's not too different but it is definitely consistent now

[humble vector]

Anyway...

[humble vector]

@young tendon

Also, I think this could safely be deleted too if there aren't any further remarks to it...

[hidden breach]

yes

[young tendon]

Done

[hidden breach]

Thx

[civic cypress]

Remam wiki when?

[hidden breach]

Make it

Wasn't there going to be a separate wiki for mods actually?

[humble vector]

Correct. Though I can see why he's asking "remam wiki when".

As I don't know how easy or hard it is for him to host a new wiki for Platypus mods.

[young tendon]

For an average wiki, it is kinda not hard. https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:RequestWiki

You do have to log in to see the page

Just as a note

[young tendon]

But to manage a wiki, maybe but you can ask for support here if you need help with something: https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/1019689826762637382

[civic cypress]

Yikes

[humble vector]

Just wanna see how y'all doing.

[hidden breach]

Yo. Surprisingly sleep deprived, for the second day in a row and have been occupied with stuff last week in general (including discussing a possible future mod I'll collab on with some people starting from next month likely). Also unsure whether to start recording the homing missile footage again now because though they have been fixed, there is one thing I was trying to wait for. As you know they can target dragonflies and I suggested that they get excluded. Now the devs I think haven't decided yet what to do regarding this matter and idk if I should wait for that or if I should just not bother recording any footage involving dragonflies

Anyway I recorded bombs footage already and am doing beans rn but I have no idea how well that'll go. As I said, I'm sleep-deprived. If it doesn't go well I'll just drop this and leave it for another time

[humble vector]

Well then, have a fair amount of rest.

So, about your mod, will you collab with some of your close friends on Discord, or practically anyone else within a given opportunity?

[dull light]

You're doing Bombs but Homing Missiles hasn't been published.

[hidden breach]

Klasky why do you keep repeating to me exactly what I said? I know I am doing bombs despite homing missiles not being published. I just said that and I explained why, too. If you wanna make a point then say it rather than just repeating to me what I know already

[hidden breach]

Former but we thought of asking a few modders for their assets to use. It's hard to explain it but will maybe make sense when you see the mod itself and its plot...maybe

[humble vector]

That makes sense.

Anyway, I wonder which of our suggestions have they opted for the missile priority change.

Since as you said earlier, certain semi-enemies including dragonflies ofc can still be targeted in the current dev build.

[hidden breach]

It's not a standalone mod though, it continues the story of a game that we wanted to make (well, sort of, it's a continuation of something that happens in the middle of the game. The game itself is nowhere near finished though), which in itself is a continuation of the story of a mod we made for a different game...yeah kinda messy and will probably confuse the shit out of people who haven't played our previous mods and just jump into the one we'll make for Reclayed

[hidden breach]

It will be either excluding them entirely or something else like excluding them till they reach a certain point on the screen

Sadly stuff like enemy missiles won't be excluded from being targetted

[humble vector]

As of the current dev build?

[hidden breach]

Just saying what the plans are

[humble vector]

Ah, I see.

[hidden breach]

I have yet to test if any changes have actually been made yet

[humble vector]

I wonder if the game code can be accessed on dev builds?

Like if there are data changes.

[hidden breach]

game code? like, source code?

[humble vector]

Something like what we see in the mod starter pack IG.

[hidden breach]

Well idk, there's nothing I know of that I have access to anyway

[humble vector]

I see.

[hidden breach]

I either find out by testing or by having the devs tell me when they change something specific

[humble vector]

Guess some good old fashioned hands-on testing is the way to go then.

[hidden breach]

yeah

I never knew beans were given at the start of 2-4, such a weird place for them when there are no enemies below you

[humble vector]

A shrug moment indeed. :p

[hidden breach]

Recorded beans successfully but I probably won't make the guide yet. I will just record the homing missiles again and do those. I will just not mention dragonflies ig. I'll record tomorrow though probably. Idk when I will get around to editing the video, maybe Thursday... And then Tail Gun will be published the day after homing missiles get published. Then bombs and beans shouldn't take long since they are already recorded, gotta just edit and voiceover them

Sucks that I gotta redo homing missiles but oh well

[hidden breach]

Man homing missiles are such a meme

These things are targetting boss 2's fins over the boss itself 😭

https://youtu.be/Hv9xQ-Pw694

[humble vector]

LMFAO, WTF is wrong with homing missiles?

IDEK if a parameter for the entity being targeted by missiles will be a thing.

[hidden breach]

Doubt tbh

[hidden breach]

They are trying to target the fins

Oh I already said that oops

Anyway yeah

Lol

[humble vector]

That's fine. I already read the one sent before.

[humble vector]

And I said it as a reaction rather than a question.

-# If that makes sense.

[hidden breach]

Ye

I realized it after I also realized that I already said what happened

[humble vector]

Heya guys, what do y'all think of merging some entities into one?

List of merged entities:

• Mine Balloon = Mine + White Balloon
• Deadly Mine Balloon = Mine + Bomb Balloon
• Balloon Crate = Crate + Bonus Balloon
• Balloon Safe = Safe + Balloon Bundle

[hidden breach]

Don't mind yeah

[hidden breach]

Sorry for such a huge delay. I am on a 7-day sleep deprivedness streak and it's hard managing anything and my body doesn't wanna cooperate with me. I will get the video done on Monday.
I know there is no need to apologize since it's just what I wanted to do and there is no need to rush but yeah. I wanted to do it today but I have a lack of energy, had to deal with other things (my aunt got a new phone which means I had to help her with that for some time) and I gotta do more stuff later and I haven't even had time to shower after having gone to gym yet. Man

[hidden breach]

Okay, am I cursed? I hopped on my pc to make the video. I started to look at the recordings so I could rename them in order to be able to recognize them easier. EVERY SINGLE ONE has absolutely no sound. Why???

I have to re-record EVERYTHING for the 3rd damn time

At this point I will just stop giving updates and telling you when I'll finish the stuff. It'll be out when it's out. And don't ask me anything about its progress either

If it sounds like I'm pissed, it's because I am. Not at you but this is just absurd

[young tendon]

And that's why I always check my OBS settings before I begin to record, and then my videos after I record them

[hidden breach]

I will be quiet here from here on till the video is done

[young tendon]

so sorry to hear what happened

[humble vector]

My words exactly. ;-;

[hidden breach]

Yeah I checked obs just now and everything seems fine. And literally one video right before the ones with homing missiles, a video where I recorded beans, HAS SOUND

???

I don't understand what happened. The output volume is on. Did the output device get messed up for some reason? There is no reason for that to happen at all but idk

I try to check settings as much as possible but I can't always remember

What a bunch of bullshit man

[young tendon]

One time I left the audio muted before I start to record one of my bf4 gameplay vids without realizing it the whole time

uploaded it to yt anyway

[hidden breach]

Anyway I'm out of this channel till this is done. Which probably means not today, because it will take time to record the footage now, and then I won't be on pc starting from later today till tomorrow night. So I will try to get it finished on Wednesday but again, no promises. I'm out now. Will be active in the other channels but not here. Don't wanna keep making promises I can't keep

Yeah it's not what happened here, the audio is not muted

In obs

So simply put it must be something to do with output device. Why? Idk

anyway

Ping me if you have anything super important to say to me

Nvm

I trolled and I'm stupid af

I was looking at the videos that were first in my file explorer because I thought I had them sorted by date, but I didn't. These are older videos that got muted fsr...I think the actual footage I need is fine. It seems to be anyway

Thank god

Apologies lol, I got so frustrated

[humble vector]

DW, happens to the best of us regardless...

[hidden breach]

By the way, the tv I used to have as my main and only monitor with 60hz will no longer be the one I use to record videos, I have a new monitor (which is my main now, tv is secondary) that has 180hz so the videos should be way smoother than before. That is the hope anyway. But you won't notice it till after I finished bombs/beans as I have footage for homing missiles, tailgun and bombs/beans already

Anyway off to edit the video

[hidden breach]

Yeah. It was weird that despite the videos being muted, obs itself had no issues recording now, and I didn't change any settings since I last used it (and homing missiles were the last thing I recorded with obs). But now it makes sense

[hidden breach]

Uploading the video, at last

https://youtu.be/NiUblxS_hHQ

Ya know what to do

[humble vector]

One visual error has been found.

[hidden breach]

Oops

Uhhh I shall fix in a bit. Idk how that happened

Any other issues btw?

[humble vector]

Nothing else.

[hidden breach]

https://youtu.be/tmxhRKZBmQ4

I hope this is ok cuz I'm off my pc now

Oh I see it is published

Nice

Tail Gun video can freely be published tomorrow

Oh, I forgot to leave the usual comment under this video, can you do it?

[humble vector]

Done

[hidden breach]

Ty

[humble vector]

Tail Gun guide has now been published.
https://youtu.be/lCLZHHLr27k

[hidden breach]

Hell yeah

[hidden breach]

So far the bombs and beans video is turning out shorter than expected...the bomb segment is only like 2 and a half minutes so far and it's more or less finished. Idk if there is surprisingly little for me to say about it or I am missing something

[humble vector]

We'll see if I have anything I would like to add once I see the video.

[hidden breach]

I will render it and upload a bit later even if it's unfinished

So you can see what is in it so far

[hidden breach]

https://youtu.be/4aSkSqNF-Gw

[hidden breach]

I assume the reaction means it's fine so far?

This is all for bombs, mind you. Rest is beans, which may be shorter than bombs but prolly not by much

[humble vector]

Yeah, mostly.

I think it's worth mentioning somewhere that using bombs will allow you to avoid threats brought by yellow squids, gold fish, and/or pink batoids, depending on their position.

[hidden breach]

Yeah ig if I am mentioning that certain enemies become a threat when they wouldn't be with other weapons, I should also mention that they can negate the threat of some others

Lemme know if there's anything else

[humble vector]

Guess I have none.

[hidden breach]

This is written confusingly, you may wanna correct it

Also Ima respond to the comment too cuz why not

[humble vector]

Wait, since we're running the same channel, is it possible for you to edit it out too?

[hidden breach]

What exactly? Idk what exactly it's meant to say

[humble vector]

It simply states that there isn't any promise that the enemy guides will be made in the future.

[hidden breach]

Ik that but idk how exactly you wanted to write it. Is it supposed to be "but you never know when we will if it happens?"

Also yeah it seems we can edit eachother's messages

[hidden breach]

If it's meant to be this, I can edit it for you if you want

[humble vector]

There are no guarantees that we will make a guide on enemies...
...but who knows?

How about this?

[hidden breach]

Sure

I wrote this also

[dull light]

By the way, you should make a link to the Platypus PSP (changing the PSP link to Platypus PSP instead of Wikipedia) in the Platypus page.

[humble vector]

Sure, but honestly, you could do that yourself.

But the thing is, there still isn't an article for Platypus PSP.

[dull light]

Did it, but no page.

PSP's wiki page should be the same as in the original, but with more content.

[hidden breach]

Then make it that way

Klasky idk if my memory serves me right but I feel like you were told already to stop begging people for stuff

All your contributions to this channel as of late have been pretty much that

[dull light]

Okay.

[humble vector]

Be a doer, and not a teller.

That's pretty much all I want to say.

-# IK it's an oversimplified statement.

[hidden breach]

Oh yeah this probably needs to be fixed. Type 3 uses type 2 images. Are these sprites taken from game files? If so I can probably fix it later

Iirc they should be from the files, I know I modified them before...

If no one fixes it by the time I'm on pc, I will

[humble vector]

Apparently, it was a typo on the filename.

[hidden breach]

Oh

I see

Alright then, so ig you fixed it already. Nice

[humble vector]

The file was already around before, so it was an easy fix, even on phone. :3

[dull light]

By the way, seems like Type 2 from Platypus 2 is the inspiration for Tail Gun.

[hidden breach]

Maybe, maybe not

Kinda hard to say, but the only way it could be inspired is just because they both fire backwards

That's it

Otherwise they are completely different

Tailgun has spread for its back gun, type 2 just has a single bullet on both sides, tailgun's weapon pods are also not like type 2's

[dull light]

Yeah, and Platypus 2 Reclayed won't be a DLC.

If only it was a DLC, we could see it.

[hidden breach]

That would be a whole game man

[hidden breach]

Added this in during the 1-4 part of the video at the start. Didn't even need to add any footage for it, it fits perfectly

[humble vector]

Nice.

[hidden breach]

Btw I don't capitalize bombs and beans every time in the video. Idk if I should but rn I only do it if I refer to the weapon as a whole. If I refer to the projectiles, I don't

[humble vector]

Perhaps your rationale makes sense.

[hidden breach]

Video is done, other than the voiceover

This video is almost 7 minutes long...sheesh

I think that makes it the new longest guide

[hidden breach]

https://youtu.be/3eP0J_Rw-_8

Only after finishing this did I realized it's Bomb and not Bombs...I called the weapon Bombs throughout the whole video. Well then

[humble vector]

About to watch rn.

Watched it, and I have nothing else to say...

[humble vector]

Other than this apparently.

[humble vector]

I probably won't be publishing it until you decide that you are absolutely fine with this discrepancy, or not.

Though I already added the thumbnail.

[hidden breach]

I went to sleep by that point so I didn't answer.
Thinking about it now but honestly I don't know

[humble vector]

I mean, re-recording the commentary would be pretty simple TBH.

[hidden breach]

Well, yeah

[hidden breach]

https://youtu.be/0b-xy2wDB1U
@humble vector

[hidden breach]

Idk how but I accidentally did this while recording boxing gloves lol

Dodged the lasers while moving up

[hidden breach]

Alr I see it's up, nice

[hidden breach]

Using the boxing gloves against boss 5 allowed me to figure out that specifically, hitting these things does nothing to the boss

Normally the whole boss takes damage regardless of where you shoot it, but this is an exception

[humble vector]

Didn't know that until now, lol.

[hidden breach]

Apparently only the body was actually meant to be damageable but fsr it is like this instead. Good thing too, imagine having to use boxing gloves and you can only use them on the body

It was already annoying the way it is rn just trying to get footage of boxing gloves

Honestly only the body taking damage is what I had originally assumed to be the case, up until around when the game got released or so iirc. Then I realized it's not really the case. Honestly I wouldn't mind them changing it so it works the intended way but also it would be kinda annoying with the tentacles just deciding to cover the body at random. Sometimes fairly often too

And they do it every time they grab a weapon as well

[humble vector]

Do you use ] and [ to speed the game up and down respectively?

[hidden breach]

Iirc yes

https://youtu.be/aI92CKvVVQo

I recorded it in action too

Skip to 0:50

[humble vector]

Without these, getting the footage would've been more annoying ngl.

[hidden breach]

Very much so, yeah

I always use it when it's needed

[humble vector]

Okay, at least its arms (not the broken gun parts) count towards damage.

[hidden breach]

This means that if you wanted to speedrun the boss, you gotta pray to rng that some of its arms just never end up taking weapons

[humble vector]

Haha, true.

[hidden breach]

Anyhow there is very little footage I needed to get for boxing gloves. This might be one of the shortest guides ever

Quite ironic given I just uploaded the longest one

[humble vector]

Might be worth speedrunning it lol. /j
-# Ofc some quality checks would still be needed.

[hidden breach]

Ikr?

[humble vector]

Ye

I actually wonder if heart would take the cake as the shortest guide, since its appearance is limited.

[hidden breach]

Probably. It's something I figured would happen even before I started making the guides

But who knows, the boxing glove might not be far off

[humble vector]

Lmao, yea

[hidden breach]

Also hard to predict how long the remaining videos might be. Which, well, there aren't many left of...

Actually I just realized I am basically over halfway through. Both through the guides (6 left) and weapons (9 left)

[humble vector]

Since the release of bomb & beans video, we're pretty much onto the second half of the series.

[hidden breach]

Thinking of it now, cheese & pretzels might be somewhat similar to donuts, onigiri and burgers. So that will be funky

[hidden breach]

Oh wait, is it 10 weapons left actually...

Oop

[humble vector]

You were counting as if you're already making boxing glove video I reckon. :p
-# LOL, I was wrong.

[hidden breach]

No the guide count would be 5 then

Idk what happened

Anyway

I think of the remaining weapons, the only somewhat common ones left are fireball and fish. Everything else is uncommon or just really rare

Yes fireball is somehow somewhat common. It appears in a surprising amount of areas

[hidden breach]

The weapon guides will be on hold until I can get better. The lack of sleep has worsened and I won't dive into details because this isn't the place for it, but to put it short, I have never felt worse. Sorry to everyone

get well soon

:)

[hidden breach]

Tg

Ty*

[humble vector]

Hmm, I noticed that when the collision boxes are constantly animated, such as the bottom fins of squids, they take more damage, which is probably why yellow squids can be one-shot despite sharing the same hp as green big uns, and that the former are overall smaller than the latter.

[hidden breach]

Or it might be that because the yellow squid has two parts, it takes way more. Or maybe a combination of the two

Actually

Does the body and the fins have separate hitboxes?

[humble vector]

I think they do.

[hidden breach]

It's always going to be a mystery to me, just like lightning doing extra damage at closer range

[humble vector]

fr

[hidden breach]

Wow

[dull light]

They are Mungolan Towers.

The obelisk at the end of the Big Train boss is the Mungolan Temple, since Mungola has some medieval-ish elements.

[humble vector]

@young tendon, do you have the HQ soundtrack files for Platypus II?

[young tendon]

I dont have them

[humble vector]

I see.

[humble vector]

Just gonna forward it for when anyone decides to edit the cannon boat page.

[dull light]

I think I have the soundtrack files for Platypus 2.

[hearty oyster]

I think there are some Platypus 2 musics in "Back in Time" from Internet Archives

[dull light]

I'll send the soundtrack files from Platypus 2. (downloaded off YouTube, converted to ogg)

Fun fact: This song uses the same melody as Platypus 1's Level 2 music.

[humble vector]

We'll see if Spikyyn would deem them high quality.

But either way, this could work in the mean time.

[dull light]

Uh oh, I can't upload level5.ogg, because it's over 10MB. I'll send you the music's link from my Drive.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k1b40Ul2HDEdQizBzFj5mN2pghiWfZ72/view?usp=sharing

[humble vector]

I think it is best to compile all the files here.

[dull light]

Alright, all Platypus 2 songs have been sent. Let's wait for Spikyyn.

Anyways, have a mini Gunship. 🙂
(Zipper)

[humble vector]

Could have sent that to https://discord.com/channels/334342069755576322/1419274495012765838, but oh well. :p

[humble vector]

While doing some testing with Lua Missile Boat, I found out that the vanilla Missile Boat's initial launch cooldown is 858 ticks long, with a fire pattern of 200 ticks.

[young tendon]

most of these can be already found in Back in Time and Instant Remedy albums

[humble vector]

I see.

[young tendon]

knucklebusters is already in reclayed soundtrack, albeit cut version

revenge of the mutant camels 2 is going to be hard to find in .flac, since nobody haven't ripped the CD of karma64 in that format

is it the nepal oriental mix?

because I saw one in 270kbps mp3 format

its close to high quality though

ah it matches the duration of what @dull light sent, so thats it

[dull light]

However, Platypus 2's Knucklebusters is different than** in Platypus Reclayed**.

I had to say the thing.

[young tendon]

oh

[young tendon]

I think this is it?

just downloaded it like 10 seconds ago

surprisingly hi-res audio, 24bit 48khz

nope, its also different

ig this version is tougher to find too

[hidden breach]

I'm feeling better so video production will resume sometime during this week

[humble vector]

Best of luck then.

[hidden breach]

Ty

[civic cypress]

Petition to make Remam wiki

A clusterpunk of enemies were added

[humble vector]

@civic cypress

As Spikyyn said before, it's prolly not that hard to set up.

[dull light]

Shouldn't Remam be in the Claymatic wiki? Most of the enemies in Remam are from Platypus 1/2.

[civic cypress]

Some from casinopolis

1/3 platypus 2
1/16 platypus psp
1/3 casinopolis

1/3 new

[humble vector]

According to Spikyyn, Claymatic Wiki will only tackle official content.

[hidden breach]

I ended up being busy, wanted to at least get started briefly now but davinci trolled me completely. Seems it doesn't like fps above 60...

Yeap gg, gotta re-record everything

[humble vector]

Actually, do you still have the raw files?

I hope they weren't deleted post production.

[humble vector]

Likely before this realization.

[hidden breach]

I already just re-recorded everything

Took less than half an hour

Why?

[humble vector]

I thought you might be referring to the clips for the video.

[hidden breach]

Well, yeah, for the guide. Still, why?

[humble vector]

I'm not actually asking to get the clips for myself. :3

[humble vector]

I just wanna know if you were able to recover from this.

[humble vector]

But anyhow, I think this answers my latter question.

[hidden breach]

Yeah. Good thing it's just boxing glove and not something with much more footage to get

[humble vector]

What a relief. ^^

Oh boy, fireball will be next.

[hidden breach]

Yeah. That said this video will have to be finished...idk, tomorrow maybe?

[hidden breach]

https://youtu.be/jPKB0ijsDas

[humble vector]

Watched it, and I noticed that you haven't mentioned the fact that getting really close to a minor enemy won't spew spinny bullet.

Is it an oversight or you just didn't need to mention it perhaps?

[hidden breach]

Didn't intend to mention it

[humble vector]

I see.

Well, I think it is good to remind players that Nasty bullets are a thing to keep in mind when using boxing glove.

Even if it won't spawn when at near point blank.

[hidden breach]

Yeah

I thought of bringing it up because it's happened to me once, I shot a goldfish and it didn't even cross my mind that it would be far enough to shoot the bullet

Anyhow I think I won't change anything about the video. I know I don't explicitly mention that being close enough doesn't trigger the death bullets, but "despite having such a short range" should already tell you that if you do kill the enemies close enough to yourself, they don't release the bullets

And you do see it in the footage itself

[hidden breach]

Well, whenever you are able to, pls add the thumbnail and feel free to publish

[humble vector]

Published.

[hidden breach]

Danke!

Next up, fireball...ho boy

[humble vector]

Yep, like I said prior. :3

It's fun, but also very daunting to make a video of.

[hidden breach]

Yeah because there are so many ways to use it and all of them make its usefulness vary so much

[humble vector]

ISTG, that reposted comment.

It's currently in Boxing Glove video. Previously, the comment was there in other videos, but got deleted.

[hidden breach]

Tell them we'll block if they keep commenting the same thing over and over. Or, I'll do it later

[humble vector]

I'm kinda busy IRL ATM.

So I suppose you could do so.

[hidden breach]

Lol they already deleted this comment too, and replaced it with one actually relevant to the video

Amazing

[humble vector]

Okay, this is kinda getting out of hand.

Even tho I should be busy elsewhere, I think I'll have to respond anyway.

[hidden breach]

I was already on my way to respond

But up to you

Do I go on then?

[humble vector]

I'll first answer his question.

[hidden breach]

Alright

[humble vector]

Now feel free to respond, particularly on how they comment in the video.

[hidden breach]

Done

[humble vector]

Wow, first time the Claymatic Wiki having a troll page, which I promptly deleted, and then blocked the editor behind that.

LMAO, what the fuck was that? :P

[young tendon]

hmmmm

bro is raiding almost every wiki in the internet with this fake nickelodeon shit

[humble vector]

For real.

[hidden breach]

Lol

[humble vector]

I have a question to all.

Has anyone already hosted a wiki for Platypus Mods?

[hidden breach]

Nope. Not me anyhow

[humble vector]

IDK if donny has already made it for his REMAM subdomain.

[civic cypress]

Nop

[dull light]

Hi

[humble vector]

Anything interesting?

[dull light]

Just had to chat again, because lol, the forum went inactive

[hidden breach]

Yeah I've been inactive here and in general. Haven't been playing much last few weeks, and I haven't done anything for the next guide. I want to but I haven't had much motivation to play the game nor to do anything for it and also I gotta give some other projects love too, which I've been neglecting in favor of the guides before. I'll get back to it, I don't wanna stop, but idk when I will get back to it. I could give a time estimate but I don't wanna make a promise I can't keep. At the very least, I don't think you'll wait for too long but maybe that's already saying too much

[humble vector]

Don't worry, time is the least of our concerns.

No need to promise anything uncertain. :)

[civic cypress]

Dang no remam wiki

[humble vector]

Looks like someone suggested a cheats page for Platypus Reclayed in the wiki.

[humble vector]

@clear cedar

[dull light]

Been a while since we talked about weapon guides.

[hidden breach]

What do you want to talk about?

[hidden breach]

Understood

[humble vector]

How's the progress so far?
-# No pressure ofc

[hidden breach]

Not great and this week's tight when it comes to free time

[humble vector]

It's alright.

[dull light]

Hi

[humble vector]

NGL, I'm lowkey surprised that Spikyyn didn't talk about the domain renewal prices here in this thread. :p

[young tendon]

oh hey

I thought you're going to rest for a couple of months?

[hidden breach]

Oh yeah I saw part of that convo

[hidden breach]

Who?

[humble vector]

Spikyyn was referring to you.

Oh wait.

MB.

He was actually talking to Klasky, seeing that he promised to take a break from this server until May 1.

[hidden breach]

I see

How much time does he have before he has to renew?

[humble vector]

He purchased the domain back in June 6.

Which will be the same day as the day of expiration.

[hidden breach]

Any decision regarding what to do? I saw part of the convo but not all

[humble vector]

Mind if you could take the time to read all of them starting from this forward message?

It's not that long TBF.

[hidden breach]

Tl;dr cloudflare is the answer

If paying for the wiki becomes too big an issue, I could just lend a hand. If it's a yearly payment then it's not a big deal

[humble vector]

Yearly payments aren't that worrysome to me.

[young tendon]

miraheze is free. It's all about the custom domain I'm paying for

[hidden breach]

Ye, that's what I mean

[young tendon]

$10/year for a .com domain of the wiki sounds good

[hidden breach]

As in you think you can handle it?

[young tendon]

I could

[hidden breach]

Up to you. Just know my offer stands regardless

[hidden breach]

@humble vector asking you because you made the thumbnails but I will ask Claymatic too for permission to actually use the assets

[humble vector]

I can also send the user the winged star sprite itself directly.

If they want it ofc.

[hidden breach]

@mental willow

Pinging them so they can see this thread

[mental willow]

Hi @humble vector, Thank You For The Sprite,
I Very Appreciate It 🌟

[hidden breach]

Apparently they specifically wanted this for the sake of making a gameplay video with only sonic pulse in it. Which isn't a problem, but the thing is that they intended to make it specifically because they assumed that that's what's supposed to be in the "gameplay" section of the weapon's page...

Probably should tell them whether or not that would be fine though since I'm fairly certain gameplay section refers to how the weapon works in gameplay, and doesn't refer to a gameplay video

[humble vector]

IIRC he is the creator of the All Sonic Pulse add-on.

[hidden breach]

I see

[humble vector]

IDK how I missed out that convo about legacy weapon data. :p

BTW, I just found that out by accident.

[humble vector]

Welcome @lean blade

[lean blade]

I'm gonna find the source of old images in Cletus Clay

[clear cedar]

I think I got some images from the game on my PC if y'all need em'

As in, sprites and such

Can't get them rn tho

[humble vector]

DW

[lean blade]

I got the images from old developer messages #🤠┃clodhoppers-discussion and other website in Flickr. Now I don't know how to post them {omo}

[humble vector]

Into the wiki?

[lean blade]

No, to my file

[humble vector]

Gotcha.

[lean blade]

I use visual editor

Instead of source

[lean blade]

I know Cletus was a farmer hillbilly. but for Emmett in my headcanon, he used to be a fisherman hillbilly

[lean blade]

Back to work for Cletus Clay wiki
-# I didn’t save the character info for Cletus sadly {ono}

[lean blade]

I like making it corny {-w-}

[lean blade]

Yippee {>w<}, update!

• added character info of Cletus and Emmett
• Adding categories: characters and enemies
  *Characters: Clem, Aliens, Animals
  *Enemies: Aliens, Aircrafts, Machines

I didn’t put a lot of effort so I made it corny {@w@}
-# don’t fired me psychosquid

[humble vector]

No worries.

[lean blade]

Back to work, still having some changes

[lean blade]

Yippee {>w<}, update!

• added enemy info of Aliens (primary)
• Adding category: Weapons
  *Weapons: Shotgun, Blaster, Mini-gun, Flamethrower

[lean blade]

I found a way to get the Cletus Clay logo is using magic wand (the software is Sketchbook on my IPad)

[lean blade]

Can't find the real synopsis of Cletus Clay, trying to find it

[lean blade]

Yippee {>w<}, (smol) update!

• added synopsis info and Table of Contents label

[clear cedar]

Do you have an image of the original logo?
Any images would be useful

[clear cedar]

Nvm I was confused with Dave The Barbarian

I don't have anything Cletus Clay related :(

[lean blade]

It’s ok, I got the old images of Cletus Clay from Anthony (or other team of Claymatic) and other website like Flickr {owo}

And I don’t know how to use CharacterInfoBox neither lol {-w-“}

[humble vector]

Character info boxes would require source editing I'm afraid.

[lean blade]

{@m@}

[lean blade]

Back to work, I have to put a gallery for Cletus and Emmett
-# As psychosquid mentioned, it requires source editing for CharacterInfoBox cuz I suck at coding {TnT}

[lean blade]

Done adding gallery for Cletus

Bonus: adding a fact (this is a trivia)

[clear cedar]

Kinda wish there was a published version of Cletus Clay, even if it was incomplete

Even if it costed money I'd buy it

[lean blade]

Adding a little link to go back in main wikis

Yippee {>w<}, update!

• Added gallery for Cletus
• Added image of Cletus (in right) [Idk how to code cuz it requires source editing for CharacterInfoBox, I suck {TnT}]
• Added a trivia (Cletus)
• Added a little link to go back in main wikis

-# P.S I’m too lazy to do for Emmett, sorry {-w-}ő

[lean blade]

I watched the 2 versions, the cancelled HD and original prototype demo

https://youtu.be/MH-lSwC6AqQ?si=Mc1D0lzVMcdL8Cy4
https://youtu.be/VjxNv_dYpDw?si=jWeAlrFLcXpD7QgD

I also found an old video from Claymatic instagram. Playing Cletus in GaMaYo

https://www.instagram.com/p/BqhZ0iCFX5A/?igsh=MXN2cnAxZDNzc2RjbA==

[lean blade]

Took me realize that Anthony was supposed to be the original voice actor of Cletus (I reckon???)

[lean blade]

Stupid way to make a custom character info box without coding {ow<}*

[lean blade]

Yippee {>w<}, (beeg) update!

• Added gallery for Emmett
• Added a trivia (Emmett)
• Added a Game logo info box [I found the way without coding]
• Adding categories: gallery and others
  *Gallery: concept art, trailers, development and behind-the-scene
  *Others: lost official website

[lean blade]

Yippee {>w<}, (smol) update!

• Changing game logo info box "available consoles" to "platforms"

[lean blade]

Back to work, I want to change and add something in Cletus wiki

[lean blade]

Short Cletus wiki about lost official website

Thanks to GREENCAT’s old image I found {=ôwô=}

[lean blade]

Concept arts is not done but I’m waiting for Anthony to send images of his Cletus Clay archive

He’s busy to make the new version of Clodhoppers so I guess there’s no time unfortunately {ono}

Yippee {>w<}, update!

• Added gallery for concepts arts & lost official website
• Changing main info of Cletus Clay wiki

(Means I added “collaborate with”)

[clear cedar]

nah that's peak

[lean blade]

I think I would change the image in logo info box. Thanks for this

[near sail]

@humble vector, hello, I am MacEvil.

[humble vector]

As I was saying earlier, what are your plans.

[civic cypress]

anyway Remam anyone wanna help me do a remam wiki?

[near sail]

I would just like to give a few tips, as someone who has been in this world for a few years.

[humble vector]

That would be much appreciated. ^^

[near sail]

Please, show me that Admin Dashboard.

[humble vector]

This I guess?

[near sail]

Hmmm…

Looks a bit empty.

How do you edit the wiki-navigation?

[humble vector]

https://claymatic.wiki/wiki/Special:SpecialPages

[humble vector]

The template for it?

[near sail]

I am referring to this.

There should be a page dedicated for it.

[humble vector]

Navigation page?

So I noticed that the navigation menu doesn't have the browse all articles page.

[near sail]

I mean, there is much missing on it.

That is the first thing that needs to be done for the wiki.

On Fandom wiki, we have a dedicated page for editing the navigation bar.

So, I am asking you about that.

[humble vector]

From the looks of it, the sidebar seems to be hardcoded.

https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Help:Navigation

Oh, NVM

[near sail]

https://claymatic.wiki/wiki/MediaWiki:Sidebar

Hmmm, there it is.

[humble vector]

TY

[near sail]

You could give me user rights to make something out of it.

[humble vector]

Are you able to edit its source?

I made it so any user can edit.

[near sail]

That is a bit dangerous thing to do, however, I guess it is fine considering it is a secluded wiki.

[humble vector]

DW, it'll be a temporary grant.

[near sail]

I cannot edit it.

[humble vector]

Try now.

[near sail]

So mean…

[humble vector]

Unfortunately, only @young tendon can grant admin role to users.

I can't by myself, sry.

Spikynn, if you are reading this, I think the bureaucrat role should be given to someone more active.

[near sail]

This is what I warned you of…

[humble vector]

BTW, to anyone else, bureaucrat is a higher role of admin.

[near sail]

In a way.

A Bureacrat is the same as an Administrator, however, they are allowed to change roles of people.

@humble vector, by right — an Administrator can also add some roles on a user — check my user rights to see what you can add me.

[near sail]

Give me the first 3.

[humble vector]

Done

[near sail]

Okay, it seems like I cannot edit it.

I will give you what to paste into the page.

[humble vector]

Gotcha.

@humble vector, first version — this one is for testing.

[humble vector]

Done

Apparently, clicking the new explore tab will link to an empty page with the same name.

[near sail]

Show me what you see — I cannot check desktop right now.

[near sail]

Seems mostly fine.

It just needs refinement.

Hopefully when I get powers.

[near sail]

@humble vector, any updates?

[humble vector]

None

[near sail]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/903649309638131772/1060256731118186496/image0.gif

I would like to speak to the manager.

[humble vector]

Same actually.

Yesterday, I DM'ed him, but he didn't respond even up to this date.

[hidden breach]

Oh look at his about me

[humble vector]

Spikyyn

[hidden breach]

You guys will have to wait a day or two more it seems

Yes, his about me

Says he is on discord only on weekends

[near sail]

Oddly specific.

However, I respect that.

[hidden breach]

Probably trying to reduce usage of it

Hmm wait

In fact you guys may not have to wait days

Because I have Matrix, I can try contacting him

Sec, booting up pc

[near sail]

I will give you want to send him.

[hidden breach]

You mean you'll send me what to tell him? Or

[near sail]

Moment.

[hidden breach]

Alr

[near sail]

@humble vector, please, give me the special page for changing user rights that is on your name.

[hidden breach]

Oh, wait

Fuck

Nah gg, he didn't leave a matrix username in his about me

So ig one would have to contact him on discord first to get his matrix username

[near sail]

So illusive.

[hidden breach]

I'll just dm him on discord to ask for his matrix username in case something like this happens in the future again but for now we:ll have to wait I suppose

[near sail]

We have time.

Can somebody give me a brief history of the idea to create the wiki?

[humble vector]

Like how to host a wiki?

[near sail]

No, I am talking how the idea of the Claymatic Wiki came to be.

[humble vector]

All I know was that it was in development since June 5, just a few days before the release of the game's demo.

It was later offically unveiled just a day before the demo release, intended as a surprise in anticipation to the latter.

[near sail]

Was it an idea by the Claymatic Games themselves or was it a community idea?

[humble vector]

It was purely his I think.

[near sail]

“His” as in…?

[hidden breach]

Spikyyn's

[near sail]

https://claymatic.wiki/wiki/Special:Contributions/Spikyyn

I will give him some points.

[young tendon]

I thought its more safe if I give you administrator perms instead

[young tendon]

I was supposed to edit the navigation pages sometime but this is good enough

[humble vector]

However, these "main" tabs are clickable.

[young tendon]

yeah I can see that

[humble vector]

And @near sail still has more to edit.

[young tendon]

hmm?

Anyway I should fix Cletus Clay pages to match the intended format of the wiki when I have time

[lean blade]

I was effortless, but it’s ok if you can fix it when you have time

Cuz I use visual edit instead of source

I’m really bad at coding {-n-“}

[young tendon]

its alright

[humble vector]

@young tendon, I forgot to say this earlier, but bottom line, @near sail needs admin rights.

[young tendon]

are they Fensokratica?

[humble vector]

Yes

[young tendon]

Done

[humble vector]

Oh, and regarding bureaucrat rights, is it fine if I receive these rights?

[young tendon]

mhm but I can't remove you back from bureaucrat after

as according to...

[humble vector]

I assume no bureaucrats can step down.

[humble vector]

Honestly, this is fine by me.

How about you?

Now that I shared my thoughts, are you truly willing to grant me bureaucracy?

[young tendon]

well since I trust you alot, I shall promote you

[humble vector]

Thank you. ^^

[near sail]

Good, good…

Another wiki under my dominion…

[hidden breach]

One step closer to wiki world domination

[near sail]

Indeed, that is right — once one becomes a bureaucrat, only them and the officials of the wiki hosting service can remove them.

Very well, can someone give me the ICO image of Claymatic Studios or of Platypus?
