yes of course!
Ok, do you have any preferences for IDs, or just whatever happens to be empty?

Also, I think I'll have to go to sleep now, but we can probably try to get something (somewhat) functional tomorrow. The technical stuff is something I can do remotely
So I can do that more than I can the audio stuff.
yep
We'll continue tomorrow. I'll probably need some of the metadata settings you used for the chart
no biggie
im looking further into charting too
just need like a ton of reference

at least i can playtest inside comfy studio 
Well, I guess the references would be where the game would come in handy
sh
But if you can get something functional without the game, that falls within the "whatever works" category so it's fine
Welp, I'll go to sleep now
Should have done that like an hour ago
prob cuz me
It's fine, I can handle a bit less sleep
@fringe hedge Do you have any specific preference for song IDs, or is whatever happens to be free fine? (that would apparently be around 8000-9000)
i have no preference!
So 8000-9000 range is fine then?
also i haven’t yet! i want to but i will be honest. I do not have the funds for this even if someone dies
yeah!
Alright, I'll try to just make it work then or something
I think I should be able to try implementing the custom song soon, but I'll need to know some parameters to set up all the metadata correctly
btw what neuro models are you using?
mea is working with Taprieiko's new Neuro model
i wonder if these could work
That is the exact model mea is trying
ah
You can try yourself though, none of us really understand 3D models, so you have no less of a chance than any of us
well, maybe i'll wait until the next sale
Sure, we're not in a hurry
By the way, we're gonna try adding custom songs, but we have no graphics. Could you make some kind of placeholders or something at some point (three distinct textures, so that we can figure out where each one is used)
I can send the templates
what should i do with them?
I guess add something in place of the filled-in parts
The first one that has two sprites should have the sprite areas completely filled in, the other one can have transparency
lmao sketchbook is tryna tell me that .png isn't supported
That's just stupid
You can look at the guide to get more info for what should be there and what settings should be used
I hope we don't need any special settings Paint can't reproduce
should i put the pixel dimensions back on too?
Just write what texture it is. The 720p one is called "backgound", the one next to it is called "jacket" and the one in the seperate file is called "logo"
1st one done
Looks like that'll work for a placeholder
i mean, the gray boxes would too
That one has slightly more info
so i can merge those layers down?
It should just be a regular transparent png at the end, I don't think those have layer data
it'll be saved as a flat image due to png nature, i just wanted to know if i should keep it layered for adjustments or merge it and start with the next one
Whatever works for you
That's what the game wants
Devs not bothering to align textures is probably pretty common
1st is done
Looks functional
have you succeed adding song to the game 
I'll need some of the parameters from the chart first, that I can't get directly from the file
We still also need an ID

If you want to do something, you should probably do it(I think)
is it because the export file i send yesterday
i have little idea of what my plans on the future are
anyway i'll be making the last file now
We'll want the metadata we add now to be accurate with the final version, since it would be annoying to replace
That is certainly something
If you want to know what we need exactly, it's most of the stuff for the pv_db
yeah but since i can't test it in game i dont even know this will be anything 
yo i wanna do that at some point
making own charts has been on my mind ever since i first started playing mirai
you mean this
just get into comfy studio 
You can probably make charts for some of the songs. The more people working on all the different parts, the faster it'll be done
there's different difficulty levels too, maybe we could split those up to different people
and the song is 3 and half minutes
No, I need the data in the part of the tutorial that's about the pv_db file
That's the song metadata
All, rigth, now I just need the metadata and ID
i doubt i can help with that
Yeah, I'll need those from FlashFire
is there any more graphic design to be done?
I don't think we have any right now. You could do Neuro clicker instead
i'm working on neuro clciker by getting sandro to work on it instead lol (i doubt i could do the thing i asked him to do)
I saw it
@simple portal We now mainly only need the pv_db stuff and the ID before it should be functional
if we do want custom album art for any custom songs i’m genuinely really interested in drawing some
Well, Xodabeef also wants to draw art for the mod
But I think we can have 2 artists
If you want, you could make a more permanent set of art for world.execute(me) once we know what all the textures do
Unless Xodabeef does it first
yeah! i mean. we’ll see! I’ve been way too busy to do much with school and stuff so i’m sorry i haven’t been active. uber stressed and a lot of my current dev work has been for my senior project. but i’ve been daydreaming abt making neuro MVs when i have the chance and this is as good an excuse im gonna get. but if xodabeef is also interested i don’t wanna step on her toes
I think having more people on all the different parts of the project is just a good thing. Xodabeef can do some of the songs, while you can also do some of them
It just makes the process faster
i'll be busy with school next week too
and you absolutely woulnd't "step on my toes", i think everyone who wants to help should get the chance to
and in terms of high res art, i think i'm much less talented than you
I guess I'll just take an ID like 8444 or something, it's not reserved for anything, so I'll make world.execute(me) use that
here's the file chart to open in comfy studio i think 
I don't have it. I need some parameters and the exported file
I can tell you what parameters I'll need
what is it 
I'll tell you after I finish doing this graphics stuff
Alright, first I'll need the script for the chart, named in the format "pv_8444_[difficulty].dsc"
like this 
Looks right
try it
Next, I'll need the bpm you used while charting
Yeah
this then
The final thing should be the song preview start time and duration
This is the instructions for that part
The song preview I assume is the part of the song that plays when selecting it on the menu
After that I should be fine to test it and see if I get a glorious game crash
and this
Looks right

I like crashing games in funny ways
That shouldn't matter, as the file should be easy to change
yeah
if you want to test it tho 
i dunno how scuff it will be
and just to see we can chart without the game
that will be glorious

I haven't really played the game, might try to do that at some point though, but this test is only to see if we can throw audio into the game
Oh my Neuro-Sama it worked first try
I didn't know that was an option, where is that?
I guess I need to find it then
usually they have the option for auto
I'll see if it exists
I'm still not sure how to stop a music video, I'm waiting for it to end
just esc i guess 
No, I have tried that
so the map is working properly 
This is where the graphics go by the way, kinda important for later
noted
so its possible now 
we need someone to test the map too then 
surely that thing is scuff 
There's no end button that I can see for the msuc videos (literally pressed like every button)
Oh, I found it. For some stupid reason it's f2
check the control maybe
Also there's no auto option, the closest thing is no fail mode
yeah im searching it too
apperantely you need some tampering for autoplay

well i guess no fail is also work 
The chart does work though, but I don't remember the controls

But the important part is it works
I seriously expected at least a freeze or a crash, I didn't think it would just work first try like that
There is still one more main thing to figure out if we want more than 1 song, but that shouldn't be that hard
That thing being sprite metadata
Ok
bump my owm message, might also reserving this chat for something eslse
The fact that the game's modding is so well documented (and a bit of programmer logic) really makes this easy on the technical side of things
I think I should go to sleep, before today becomes a repeat of yesterday
We made some great progress today
indeed
now just focusing to get other stuff to put now
well we will see tomorrow i guess 
Yeah, currently the metadata has a LOT of placeholder stuff, and all textures are placeholders. We also don't have lyrics defined yet
Yeah, good night
btw with songs that already exist we can just jeep the charts right?
Yep, that's how it already works with the another_song dot function
@fringe hedge We got world.execute(me) to work in-game and now know where and how the graphics show-up. Now we need more permanent graphics instead of the placeholders if you want to make those at some point. Here's how the graphics show up: #1206833805827244073 message
These are the templates for the graphics (what the final file formatting has to be for it to work in-game)
hmm, seems my placeholders do fit the style like i intended them to
https://youtu.be/ESx_hy1n7HA also, this'd be the official world.execute(me) MV

Interesting.
Whatever works
We could do a Neuro themed version of that
Or something like that. We could also make something completely different, since it's our mod
ahh 3 songs on max diff left, and i'll have all song-unlockable room items
In what?
Ok, I have no idea what that game is, but I guess that's cool
Interesting. We'll be modding DIVA though, I don't have a 3DS and both the 3DS and mobile devices are really hard to get doing custom stuff
yup
it's interesting how different the difficulty curves of the two games are
this'll be pain https://youtu.be/Q0log8NeI6s
One of my favorite songs in the game~
Ok I guess. That song has a Neuro cover I'm pretty sure
actually i wonder what it's like in diva
DIVA doesn't have that I think, but we'll add it in anyway
Since we know how to do it now, it shouldn't be that difficult
aww that one's not in the big zip you sent me
in fact there's no duos at all if i see correctly
I need to check the origin files real quick
Indeed, I somehow missed including the duets, so there's actually more than 255 Neuro covers including the duets
it appears matryoshka indeed has not been in any Diva title, excluding mods
There are now 291 files in the Neuro covers only folder I have, which is a bunch more
I'm searching it on YouTube and realize there's no Matryoshka song 
hi flash
Yo
not in diva
i think it's not just in mirai but in sekai as well, which makes me wonder why it's not in any diva game

So are we planning to make entire new video for current world execute, or just proceed with livestream video
hmm, that's a good question
Holy this video really old
of course
all the classic vocaloid songs are from vocaloid's prime time, which is around the 2010s i believe
god i can't type
For now I'm following the livestream video to making the chart
Honestly with chat scrolling fast doesn't help with the gameplay 
this could be an orientation for the video, maybe https://youtu.be/MKWCvla3OWM (if you don't want to be pained with whatever the og video is
happy anniversary, miku!
■Song + Lyrics: Milli
■Vocal: Hatsune Miku
■Mixing, Tuning: suzie
■Art: ixima, suzie
■Video: suzie
But you can adjust the dim
i gotta check how suitable clipchamp is, otherwise i have openshot
This also a good visual for the video
Beatmap: https://osu.ppy.sh/s/470977
Storyboarder: Exile- https://osu.ppy.sh/u/2559349
ok clipchamp is, as expected, barely suitable

We yet to get someone to test the chart if it feels right 
and playable of course
oh god my pc is struggling
i thought a laptop with 3070 and ryzen 7 5000 would be able to edit a few minutes of video, guess i'm mistaken
I have a 4070Ti paired with an i7-12700K and even that sometimes takes a while to render a video
it's probably because it's a live preview
That is possible. My PC doesn't struggle with rendering a live preview though, at least I don't think it does
Laptop is generally weaker than PC so 
Yeah, that's true. Apparently the 3080 laptop is 20% slower than desktop
3070 vs 4070ti is a big difference too, even with desktops
not necessarily
depends mostly on thermal throtteling, which i have none of
here's the insane video editing skills i learned over the course of the last 20 minutes
and my pc struggling
Yeah, that's really lagging. My PC doesn't do that, it's fully smooth. I use a different video editor though
i should upload that to youtube, i'll get famous
which one? i'm using openshot simply because dad installed it and said it's good
I use CapCut, no idea how good it is, but it's worked pretty well so far
I also use capcut to editing my video
i'll check it out
What's the plan with the video stuff by the way? Encoding the video is a pain, so I'd rather not have to redo it
Especially since defender thinks the encoder is a virus
just tell it to shut up about that program
It's either we yoink another video, making new one for this map, or just continue with current livestream video
Yeah, I told it to ignore it, but I'm not sure if I should try to run the encoder in a native environment to see if it would take less than an hour to encode a 3 minute video or something. (I ran it in a VM before)
I don't know if I want to re-encode the video, since it literally takes an hour. I'd also have to completely redo the audio and you'd probably have to move the chart, so I feel like we should stick with the video we have now
interesting, capcut just looks like a modern openshot 
i'd hope it's also better optimized
Just experiment with it 
Well, I have no idea about how optimized it is, since my hardware is so powerful
So it think we just work with the current thing we got then
Yeah
You are too op
Otherwise we redo everything from scratch
oh thank god, keyframes
i haven't figured out how to keyframe on openshot sdo that's already a big plus
We also lack the talent to making one 
Except if there's one out there already making one
I don't even have my 64GB of RAM yet, that's still coming
We can experiment with more stuff when we add other songs, but for now we should go with the video we have now
Might as well make a Neuro for yourself 
I do plan on playing with LLMs once I have the RAM and some time
And I already have a TTS that replicates Evil's voice
With all the power you have, yes
i plan on making a (neuro) lagtrain amv with german trains once i'm skilled enough
German train 
Well, that would work for Lagtrain once we add it then
I just happen to have a really stupidly good PC and way too much storage. I'll definitely try to set up an LLM of some kind
When it comes to compute, pretty much
It really only has one issue: heat. The room the PC is in is like a couple degrees hotter than the rest of the building
It can become quite uncomfortable at times
oh why can't i just drag in media
i try, but i can't

I have no idea, but I really can't keep the temps of my PC ON IDLE under control by literally venting heat into -30 degrees outside
I'm pretty sure you can just drag stuff in from explorer
oops wrong scene adjustment
Might just be Win11
Also try adding it manually I guess
Explorer looked like it wasn't liking it
Since we working on world execute me now, I guess I need to make another progress list for that

I'll get to that when I got home
Try to drag it on the import button or something, I have no idea why it isn't working
i am just importing manually
Yeah maybe just try import it through the capcut 
annoying but oh well
that's what i'm doing
Windows 11 breaking everything as always I guess
Or maybe just restart your device might work
That's why I don't use it
Yeah no need to upgrade if everything still working properly 
I have no plans on upgrading any time soon. I just have no reason to and it's just objectively worse than 10
Whenever I run into a Win11 machine, I tend to find issues that wouldn't occur on a Win10 machine
Win 11 is the new Vista (but even worse). We'll see if Win 12 is another broken mess of garbage
it's not vista
my dude, 11 is so far from Vista
have you experienced Vista?
11 is perfect in comparison
I was just generating a computer related joke

Fun fact: I'm pretty sure if you try to quit DIVA before the menu music initializes, the game freezes and has to be ended in task manager. Very (in)convenient
Maybe windows 13 will be a better product 
Who knows if they'll ever make another functional version of Windows
Will be handy if I get the game
When there's budget and another sale prob
I've just become so fast in the menus I run into that every now and then
Please nerf yourself 
I can't. It's basically "hard-coded" to me to be very fast at using a keyboard to navigate menus
I basically can't slow down due to muscle memory or something
I wonder if your keyboard is also missing key like Vedal does
Prob not since it's Tutel scuff 
It only has a slightly malfunctioning spacebar since when I made the Evil TTS dataset
Othrewise it still has all the keys it came with functioning
But I still need a seperate keyboard for programming since the main one just never even had one of the keys I need
I just have two keyboards sitting on the table for different purposes
Very handy 
where is skewing
And then if I need something random I have like 4 PCs behind where I sit
Skew what
how do i do this in capcut
where is that
i may just stay with openshot and find out how to set keyframes efficiently
I'm trying to look for stuff in the interface, I'll let you know if I find it
Probably
I guess we are fine to discuss anything if we want then 
It's just us here in the thread 
Yep, haven't seen anyone else at least. It's just the mod development team here
i may just take a smal break, i'm tired
Dunno how long till I'm finishing the chart 
This is really unknown territory for me
Well, we're not in any hurry, I still need to learn to play the game
I can't really seem to find anything to do that in CapCut
Either scewing is hidden, or doesn't exist
Welp 
i gotta go out and get a steam gift card
should i try to find one right now?
yes i should, i bet mom's gonna ask me if i was outside at all again
What do you need a gift card for?
money
What are you planning to get with it?
That makes sense I guess.
I usually don't put mony on my Steam account, but just buy the games directly
But whatever system you want to use
well, i can't 'buy directly'
since my card carrier doesn't know what "working server system" means
meaning gift cards are my only way of getting money into digital marketscapes
I guess they don't have someone experienced enough to make proper servers then
Well, as long as it works

That is kinda odd
I think the number "39" is somehow related to Miku or something, so that might be why
39 is miku's 69 in a way
Now you mention it
english has that too, kind of
"oi m8 let's go sk8ing l8er"
I know it when I'm searching for 39 music
Makes sense
That definitely explains why it's pretty much everywhere in the game and it's achievements
sekai even has a "39!" sticker
Do you play any rhythm game
Closest number thing about Neuro is the 9+10 thing
but 9+10 existed as a meme before neuro
333
HM Project Mirai (1&2 rarely, DX a lot)
HM Project Sekai (i used to play it alot, until my save corrupted and my progress + seasonal characters got lost)
OSU (barely played it, but plan on playing more once i finish my diy ms surface)
Rythm Heaven Fever something (Played a bit, got annoyed at the progression system)
HM Project Diva (not yet, but i plan on buying it today)
///
Nice, now git gud so you can playtest my chart 
what's wrong with RH 
Also hi
Also which mode on osu you played
I assume standard 
RHF on 3DS has a super annoying progression system that is super linear and has "Bosses" which require you to grind for a token, play a specific ryth game i don't like, and win perfectly to progress.
...
Tutorial
are you talking about rhythm heaven megamix?
and nothing else because my mouse control sucks
possibly
bosses? 
the tutorial level is all i played
now I've played the whole lineup and I don't know anything about bosses
Pretty much none then 
yes
this bs

Literally git gud 
Also nice Nuro pp there
I just calculated some stuff, and we can add around 10 songs before I need to make a package downloader due to file size
i like to be able to choose which minigame i can play
megamix isn't a good start to the rh lineup imo
that's when they lost hope for the rhythm heaven series 
damn
It's mainly the video files
What's the average size for video file then
The one we have now (when encoded) is over 100MB
compression babyy
The raw video is almost 400MB
here
i put the wrong video file
the export rather than me exporting
Why you always do that 

i have skill issues
Soon you might just doxx yourself 
i mean, i almost did today
Compression can be used, but the game itself also heavily compresses the video
had my full name on display in explorer
Wait what resolution the game use for video
I don't know if the game cares, but the video we put in was 1080p and looks very grainy
Might consider to use lesser resolution then to saving space
I don't really know, since reducing the base quality will probably also reduce the encoded quality
But maybe still using high res stuff for working
Since I think it just strips out like 3/4 of the data or something
Hem hem
I'm not even sure if the game only takes 1080p or if it takes lower resolutions, since it would take an hour just to test it and I don't want to test for no reason. It's also possible the encoding sets a specific resolution like 720p or something, which would mean we can't even change the output size if we fed it a smaller video
can you check the res of an already encoded video somehow?
I have no software (other than the game) that can play .usm encoded videos
too bad
Even VLC, which handles Source-engine's favorite file type, .bik, can't handle .usm
is it possible to decode the videos, and do they retain their encoded resolution?
I assume it is possible, but might take another hour
it would really help to know though
I'm just gonna throw it on in the native environment and see what happens. I really don't think the encoder is a trojan
Why would the guide link to it if it was?
It took like a nanosecond to decode
lol
But it's now an ivf file or something
does it take a nanosecond to decode or is it still an hour
The decode took a nanosecond, but gave back another weird file format. I have not idea about encoding if that's what you're asking
VLC can handle the .ivf file it spat out, so we have something that I can examine closer
try encoding and see if it's faster
because if it is, we can test different resolutions in input vs output
The file is still 1080p 60
and if you encode + decode a 480p file? here's a small one which should be faster
under 2 megs
(in the meantime i'm off for lunch)
It was quite quick with that one. It also stripped out like 3/4 of the file size
It did indeed pack and unpack as 480p 30
What resolution you run the game
Are you using mod for that
At least I assume it just uses the monitor resolution, I haven't actually checked
I don't have mods other than ours, and it's prerequisites
can you decode a video from the game?
that would tell us the default video resolution
Sure, although if it can accept any, I think it might vary a bit
then we can decode multiple
The first one is 1080p 60*
i hate discord, rn i cant even upload a message in less than 10 seconds
Another one at 1080p 60*
so, is there anything other than video decoding happening right now? otherwise i'll be going outside to touch grass and buy me a 50€ steam gift card
All the videos from the game itself seem to be 1080p 60*
Really nothing else going on right now
then i'll be omw
Ok, once you get the game, I can help you with installing the mod if needed
We have now determined we need to use 1080p 60 if we want to match the quality of the game
So I'll probably have to make a package downloader at some point
Good thing it isn't that complex
Yeah, 1080p 60 has been standard for a while actually. Even higher resolutions like 1440p 60 are starting to become common
But I don't think we have Neuro stream footage in 1440p
My remote connection has been doing weird disconnection cycles today, around 3-5 consecutive disconnects (on the remote machine side) then a few minutes or hours of break. No idea if it's an issue on my side or the ISP or something providing the connection for the remote machine, but it's really annoying
My current assumption is that it's the ISP on the remote machine causing it, since it just randomly started

Well, at least I'll get back on local soon, so at least I can control the PC if the internet goes down
Yeah the stream is usually 1080p
I don't think Twitch even supports anything higher
You can always put ping tab open 
Nah
That doesn't help if I can't see the PC
I have seen someone stream with 8k resolution
I have never heard of a Twitch stream above 1080p 60
At least I definitely have seen someone stream with 2160 res
It's possible
But might be also experimental
Maybe some tester 
I guess it might be supported, but looking around, I can't find anything official about it
Yeah it's when I randomly open streamer
Already forgor about what or who is it
But when I check the stream res I stuck with that
Shit even load before I can watch at highest res
Well, it's not important anyway, since we'll be using Neuro's footage if we use streams, so no more than 1920x1080 at 60fps
Indeed 
I do wonder how long it'll be before we need a package downloader tool
Not that soon prob 
Yeah, we don't even have one song finished yet, so reaching 10 will take a while
I hope I don't run out of space on my C: drive for converting videos though, since I think if I try to move the converter, defender is just gonna delete it again
:reallygunpull: defender
My PC is too fast at doing stuff. Defender instantly finds the converter as soon as it's extracted, and if I don't go and change it to allowed in 10 seconds, it's already gone
I could try to get it on my G: drive at some point, but it'll definitely be a bit annoying with defender messing around.
(the G: drive is an 8TB SATA SSD)
Oh no, the C: drive is below 500GB free again
Really just another example of a badly built Microsoft product
Classic 
Microsoft really just doesn't know how to make something good anymore
If like most of the applications I use weren't Windows exclusives, I'd probably install Linux or something
Well, defender is better than or equal to most antivirus software you find online now so it's actually quite convenient
Because free
That's the main thing it has going for it I guess
Of course they could add some things to make it more user friendly, but it's there and I does it's job
Also, i got the money
Welp, I guess Microsoft also has the "whatever works" mindset
Cool
Tell me once you're ready to install the mod, so I can help if you need help with it
Noice
i should've gotten 20€ more and bought the vip pack smh
But
but i'm not going back for another hour
You can just add the song yourself with mod 
that's true
btw, since i'm new to steam idk how exactly this stuff works, can't you just upload a mod to the steam workshop?
It's in the basegame though, the mod uses it just fine
This is going to take a bit, it has to downolad one almost 23GB file
i'd assume it's more than one file which make up the 23 gigs. also, i can read.
It's 3 files
The exe (400MB), diva_main_region.cpk (600MB) and diva_main.cpk (22.5GB)
Basegame pv_db
i didn't know Sega was Mercedes lmao
What do you mean?
Ah that one
i was joking about mercedes putting things in your car which you have to pay a subscription for in order to use them
basically
you have heated seats right?
but if you don't subscribe to their service, you can't use them
they're just turned off
I've heard of that
and here it's the same. you have the song, you just have to pay extra to play it
The dlc one might another version
Well, the basegame one matches with the Neuro version
If not again there's mod for that too 
oh wait that makes sense, some dlc songs are the older pjDiva versions
yes, the dlc songs are basically just a bunch of ports from older games
*one older game
But who cares, we're building the mod on top of the basegame
If we need a song that's not part of the basegame, we just add it
Does it conflict with dlc stuff 
By the way, I assume you'll want the development version, so we'll have to deal with more chunking of archives
i'd doubt it
It has it's own ID, so no
I see that's a relief then
We just pick unused IDs from the list and use those, no conflicts with the basegame or DLC
the game is made to be modded, almost as if it was a mod itself
It does require an extra DLL for modding though
btw can you give me the links to the software we're using?
Which parts? MikuMikuModel?
all of them
Well, I can grab the links for everything except Comfy studio
I got that one 
https://github.com/blueskythlikesclouds/MikuMikuLibrary/releases MikuMikuModel and database converter
https://github.com/hiki8man/Wannacri_GUI/releases The .usm converter that takes ages
maybe we could even use mmd to make dances, if that is still supported by new games, or even supported at all
Is that everything 
https://github.com/blueskythlikesclouds/DivaModLoader DIVA modloader
I can put them in the list later
https://gamebanana.com/mods/432449 Song ID patch
That's another list to add 
I'm not even sure what that is, but if we get Neuro into the game and figure out the model animation formats, it might be possible
mikumikudance
basically sfm but for miku
MikuMikuDance (commonly abbreviated to MMD) is a freeware animation program that lets users animate and create 3D animated films, originally produced for the Vocaloid character Hatsune Miku. The MikuMikuDance program itself was programmed by Yu Higuchi (HiguchiM) and has gone through significant upgrades since its creation. Its production was ma...
Ok, now I know what that is I guess
We can try to figure that out if we manage to add Neuro
It does indeed run at 1440p
oof
Hopefully it still compatible
I have done testing on both 1440p and 1080p
the graph looks like my channel
Are you using a wireless connection? That would explain an unstable graph
i am, because i have no ethernet port in my room 💀
Prob just steam being ass 
nah my internet is super unstable because i have to use gateways to get it from upstairs to downstairs (2 floor flat)
If you're using a laptop, I recommend putting the device near the router to get the best speed. (that's how I do it with laptops anyway, saved like 3 hours)
i can try plugging the pc into the gateway
That could also slightly improve speeds, depending on how good the signal to the gateway thing is
Is that include current song we making 
Yeah
Just fits in 1 message
Holy
That's nearly 500MB
how do 7z split archives work again
or do i just extract them all and put em in a folder
I just realized it's in 7z
- Download every part. 2. select them all. 3. extract all at once
You literally can't do that
Wait that's how you do it
That's how chunked 7z works
Yeah, that's the best way I know to bypass Discord's message file size limit
Which on this server is 100MB per file and 500MB total
This server has that for some reason
That's even more painful to see

Yeah all the Neuro covers was like over 100 parts like that
it was like 300
That doesn't look fully downloaded yet
That was the internal file count
This is that archive
Maybe it just wasn't fully downloaded
the 005 file failed
Unzip that shit 
The folder you got out of the archive contains a file called "mods" you need to add to the game's root path. You'll also add the song ID patch into the mods folder
Yeah, that's my instructions file
I was wondering why you sometimes got extra space on your chat 
What do you mean? I don't think that has anything to do with "instructions.txt"
Yeah I'm just curious 
Like in here you put extra spacebar between "that's" and "my" line
Or I'm just crazy
https://gamebanana.com/tools/9712 do we use this?
Oh, that's my broken spacebar
That's not needed
why not?
Yeah and you do that again
anyway
It's a manager, not loader

i like 1-click-installs
I'm just tired of constantly having to go back and fix it
No biggie now I know why 
I'm not sure if the mod is even compatible with that at this point. The test probably isn't at least
Since the test is not on Gamebanana

yeah, but all these are
I'm not even sure how it works exactly
Maybe you can test it yourself and see what happen 
The modloader is on GitHub though
I have nothing really I can test with
i'll just go on without the manager then
Yeah, you can't really use it for testing
Do you want the comfy studio too or you want to get it yourself
Yeah, if we want to be compatible with it, we can do that once we're feature complete, if that's even possible since I'll probably have to split the mod into a lot of parts
do you have the comfy link?
FlashFire has that
It's on pd mod discord
i meant flash with that
Ok then
these are a lot of songs you have in the mod
I dunno why they don't put the link somewhere outside discord
Most are covers
i know
Try it to get the feel of the game 
i was just suprised that you had so many in already
He doesn't know 
Most of those use another_song

Only one is an actual extra song
Yeah it's just adding Neuro singing on top of existing song
Or beside them I guess
Yeah, it adds an alternate audio track, nothing is replaced
Still got 2 song that is pending 
That's what another_song does
Yeah, those might need to be added with the other method
Hell yeah
Now just add the mod stuff
i'll play a bit first, to get a feel
Yeah do it with Neuro cover 
And if you add the mod, you can still use all the vanilla features too
Since nothing is overriden
god i can't get the timings right at all
it's so different to mirai, way more than i imagined
Erm
yes
on mirai i get S+ in hard mode, but here i just can't wrap my brain around when it actually detects a button press
I can only somehow get the feeling of the game with comfy studio 
Now that I think about it
Should I just make chart easier then
Or just continue with whatever next thing I come up with the chart
honestly it feels like the press is only registered when releasing the button, not when pressing it
which is so confusing
Or your input delay is high
improvement
Any game takes some getting used to, unless it's identical to another you already know how to play
Any difference will mess up something with your muscle memory (or something like that)
now i'm slowly getting it
yup
like Y and X being flipped between 3ds and xbox one controller
Which versions of the songs are you using by the way? The vanilla or Neuro version (for the ones that have Neuro version)?
i'm currently all vanilla
Ok, you should install the mod at some point to make sure it actully works on systems other than mine
By the way, you'll need to set MikuMikuModel to run as administrator to be able to use it, for some reason it does nothing otherwise
I recommend doing it in right-click on the exe>properties>compatibility>run as administrator
i once saw a thing that let you use the 3ds as a linux gamepad, i wonder if it works on windows too
If it's for Linux exclusively, probably not
Windows and Linux use different OS libraries
bumping it so i have easier time editing it
yeah ill adding that after im done with sorting the link
Ok cool
just got a 69% clear
Cool
Yeah, you'll get better over time
Ok, makes sense since you just started playing a bit ago
Let me know once you're ready to do modding related stuff, so I can give instructions if needed
any other link that i need to include in the list
The .usm converter and 7zip(most tools are in .7z archives)
https://www.7-zip.org/ This one is for 7zip
https://github.com/hiki8man/Wannacri_GUI/releases And this the .usm converter
how tf i missed this
its on my list
i just blind

I guess that happens sometimes
superbox, i gotta ask ya something
you said we put videos in the custom songs
but i only see what i expect to, which is 3d environments with 3d characters
The actual custom songs (not cover mod style additions)
where does the video go
The one video we have is for world.execute(me)
I don't know if another_song supports custom videos
I don't think it does though
what else do we need for the song
I don't think there are really many other things not covered fot world.execute(me). The video, audio and technical stuff is (pretty much) done, you're doing charting, we'll need translators and someone to get the lyrics
finally above 80%
its like riding a bike 
wait teto is in this
how interesting
with dpad i get a lag config of 0, but with buttons i get a lag config of 0.5
I have no idea what that setting does exactly, but I assume it accounts for delay
well, that's in the name
I think it should probably match your setup delay, if it's like other similar settings I've heard of
i hte the chalenge time thing
because i can't press all 4 directions at once on a dpad
I think it wants 2 analog sticks or other directional controllers
2 analog sticks is something completely else
it wants buttons
which i have difficulties playing with
Ok, I think that's a pretty standard controller. You're probably gonna have to learn to use buttons to be able to properly play the game
The most common diva layout uses directional pads + buttons
I’m using keyboard with WASD + IJKL
and then QE and UO for left and right slides
The reason there’s two sets for the same buttons is cuz it’s easier for note spamming on harder charts
You can change the image the buttons use in the customization menu, I use the directional buttons cuz that works best for my brain
i have already changed the buttons, and the whole keyboard vs controller thing is explained in the tutorial
I would also suggest if you use a Keyboard to set space to holding all four buttons
woopsies
Sorry i just like talking
i should probably learn how to use an arcade controller but ehhh
I’m not good enough rn to justify spending for it
Are you still interested in making the art for at least some of the custom songs? We still only have placeholders
i’m still interested, I might dig those templates up if you don’t have em and try to at least make a cover design for world.execute(me)
thanks :3
I might be able to at least sketch a design rn. i’m just sitting between my class periods but i’m struggling with physical pain atm
"we still only have placeholders" if i'm supposed to make something, you gotta tell me first
what kinda pain?
cramps ;__;
ty. i might message some ppl to ask if anyone’s got pain meds on em
We'll also need one of these at some point, it appears next to the song's name
(that is not a template)
This is the file that contains them
what even is that
(the top-left one is the one that's loaded by world.execute(me))
This is what they are
AH
so those need to be made as well
And I need to figure out how to set up the texture definers
I have modded a lot of games so far, which is really helpful with this. Portal and Portal 2 especially have very similar modding systems. Even some text stuff.
I'll probably use some of the strategies from those games to figure out the texture definers
why must the original art for this b so complex.... Rough sketch sighs
I think that could look pretty good. I have no idea why it is so complex though, we don't have to make it so complex if we don't want to, it's our mod
true! i just like referencing the original song art. i might just crop it in closer
so pretty <3
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea to reduce complexity
the key ingredient art is also very pretty
ill probably crop it to be like this for the jacket. it'd just be nice to have a fullbody ver for the bg
Sounds like a pretty good plan to me
@agile dome Did you install the mod yet, and if so, does it work?
Did you know I have made a mod that lets you play as Neuro in Portal?
these two specifically
I have made a lot of mods
And there's a lot more coming. This one is in the all-time top 3 largest (in file size at least)
ah yes my favorite activity archiving hunting 
I don't usually go out of my way to get achievements, until maybe after playing trough the whole game normally.
good way to replay the game
Yeah, I've actually got all the achievements in like 2 games or something
When I replayed them on the new PC when I got it
i have already gotten through the main campaign
That makes sense.
Those achievements are not usually attempted on the first playtrough
and i like to see the archievement count go up
Have you played Portal 2?
it is impossible to get transmission recieved on the first playthrough
it requires you to have beaten the main campaign
Oh yeah, I forgot about that
no, because money
Well, if you ever do play it, you could try out my Portal 2 mod.
from what i've seen you play as neuro and the nwero emote is slapped on everything like a sticker
does your mod do any more?
It has voice lines now
For Evil
I need to probably fix the soundscripts though
I might do that after or while working on this mod, since this mod is a heavily sound oriented one
So maybe it could help with figuring out how the soundscripts work

Want to hear what they sound like?
throw some please
