[obtuse bridge]

Color theory and stuff

[languid elk]

Not really, it's learning how to use the distort and clear command properly

[obtuse bridge]

Fair enough

[languid elk]

My process is:

• Make the general shape of the terrain out of stone walls
• Define the regions using floors
• Distort them so that they look good
  (This following part is optional and a bit trickier to pull off, I personally use it for easy and consistent terrain)
• Fill empty space with a wall you aren't using, usually something such as metal walls from V8, but can be anything as long as it is not in your map, this will be used to ignore the playable area with the clear command
• Use clear command in the generate tab, the target is the floor, the replacement will be the metal wall, and it will ignore the wall you just used to fill the playable area. Repeat for all floors.
• Fill erase the wall you filled the playable area with
• Adjust inconsistencies/weird stuff manually

[languid elk]

Doing the first base for this rn

[languid elk]

I just gotta finish the enemy production for this (no air defenses cause izalco and antilla are unlocked in EAF)

They will build t1 and t2 airships in this base, and in the bottom one, t2 tanks and t1 spiders

[zealous kiln]

Bouta fly pass the entire base

[languid elk]

[languid elk]

yes this level of spaghetti will be required

horrendous sprite that's basically an upgrade to agitation

[knotty iron]

not bad

could've been worse

[languid elk]

wip thing

[snow marten]

add cicada nest

[kindred spruce]

kinda clashing

[languid elk]

Actual honest question has anyone here actually played this mod

[vast tiger]

Yes
-# Beat 2 first waves of the first sector

[knotty iron]

yeah

[kindred spruce]

no

[languid elk]

ugly lil tonk

[languid elk]

all T1 and T2 units right now

[dusky berry]

When is mission 4

[languid elk]

decently soon, like 7-10 days

Sector 4, Offset, will be a small-ish enemy base

or, well, 2 enemy bases

it will release in "early access" and once EAF is released I will make a full release (Offset will still be playable by downloading it from the browser)

[languid elk]

preview of the second base

[languid elk]

Will be added after more balancing/playtesting

And perhaps something interesting...

[languid elk]

HahahahaahahHAAAAHAAAAAAA

[languid elk]

By setting your name to "FORTHEWORTHY" in the upcoming sector, every enemy escalation will instantly begin.

Does not work with multiple players for obvious anti-grief reasons

[obtuse bridge]

how the heck would that work in hjson

[languid elk]

World processors

[languid elk]

It's always world processors

[snow marten]

part 2 of asking for cicada nest

[languid elk]

it's not happening

the cicadas were a one-time thing

the other biological units will appear as an enemy faction

[snow marten]

aw man

[snow marten]

also they bounce off zeniths for no reason and maybe other air units

[languid elk]

they won't be used again, so it won't be a problem

[languid elk]

well, one use case endgame

[languid elk]

early WIP of explosive armaments facility

[minor wren]

@languid elk do you know how to make a planet and campaign with its own teck tree? If so PLEASE TELL ME im trying to make a cool mod like this and I wont be able without the campaign part. Ill give you credit, just please tell me how to do this 😢

[languid elk]

Asthosus has a planet for json you can look at. It's source code is free to use last I remember

[minor wren]

Wait fr??? Thank you!

[languid elk]

https://github.com/Novanox4/Astralis/blob/main/content/planets/astralis.hjson this is the code for Astralis but it's pretty messy and you might have trouble understanding it

[minor wren]

YIPPY!!!! Ye just made 2 days of me wasting my time worth it!

So

Not wasting my time

Not anymore!

[languid elk]

(And also #modding-general might be better for this)

[minor wren]

I did

If you look

[languid elk]

For the continuation of the discussion

[minor wren]

Oh

Crap I wish I read that.

I still hardly understand what to do, that code is confusing.

So

If you see this somehow

Please ping me or smth

[languid elk]

[languid elk]

[ornate olive]

[languid elk]

[zealous kiln]

A minor infestation

[languid elk]

I love how I made their drag 0 instead of 0.3 and it fucked up my playtest completely

[languid elk]

So. My favorite music artist let me use their music for Astralis's bosses.

You are safe here. How terrifying it must be for you, to be cast in a realm of which you do not belong. Do not fear, for you are safe here.

You are safe here. That pale voice which seeks to claim all cannot purge it's claws into this realm.
