You need to edit Cargo.toml and set panic=abort I think

Here's it from one of my projects

boreal fiber You need to edit Cargo.toml and set `panic=abort` I think

oh i've always had that

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 12:44 PM

#

rustup toolchain install nightly
rustup component add rust-src --toolchain nightly

And make sure you have nightly, as well as the Rust source.

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 12:45 PM

#

That changed nothing for me, it said they were both up to date

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 12:46 PM

#

lemme try this on my end

#

Try this, but with MSVC target

RUSTFLAGS="-C panic=abort -C lto=fat -C embed-bitcode=yes" cargo +nightly rustc --release -Z build-std=std,panic_abort -Z build-std-features=panic_immediate_abort --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --crate-type cdylib

#

I copied from another command of mine, should have been cargo +nightly rustc, not cargo +nightly build

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 12:55 PM

#

Now I get error: -Zbuild-std requires --target but I do have target set 😕

Set-Variable RUSTFLAGS="-C panic=abort -C lto=fat -C embed-bitcode=yes" 
cargo +nightly rustc --release -Z build-std=std, panic_abort -Z build-std-features=panic_immediate_abort --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc --crate-type cdylib

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 12:56 PM

#

Maybe due to Powershell, I'm not sure if Set-Variable can set environment variables

#

Try $env:RUSTFLAGS="-C panic=abort -C lto=fat -C embed-bitcode=yes"

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

Same thing

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

Kinda curious, lemme see what happens when I reboot to Windows

#

oh btw

#

you'll need to move the profiles up 1 folder

# Profile Build
[profile.profile]
inherits = "release"
debug = true
codegen-units = 1
lto = true
strip = false  # No stripping!!

# Optimized Release Build
[profile.release]
codegen-units = 1
lto = "fat"
strip = true  # Automatically strip symbols from the binary.
panic = "abort"

#

There's a Cargo.toml in folder above Cargo.toml, it seems it only fetches the parent one for profiles

#

I didn't even know this was a feature till I saw it today haha

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 12:59 PM

#

Oh, I see. I've done that now

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:01 PM

#

On Linux the binary was around 130k, Windows will probably be a bit smaller

dusky steppe Feb 3, 2024, 1:02 PM

#

got 133k with those settings, though my laptop doesn't have the latest build pulled atm

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:06 PM

#

I had success with $env:RUSTFLAGS="-C panic=abort -C lto=fat -C embed-bitcode=yes"; cargo +nightly rustc --release -Z build-std=std,panic_abort -Z build-std-features=panic_immediate_abort --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc --crate-type cdylib in Powershell. 133k Binary size

#

ah, I see

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:07 PM

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:13 PM

#

I've got it working as well now, thanks

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:19 PM

#

If you're curious where that 130K (~100K code) comes from in current binary, I had a look. Mostly string formatting.

#

Path and string stuff is like 35k (out of 100k) of the code lol

#

core::fmt in Rust is very fast, but very expensive on code size, haha

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:35 PM

I'm getting errors trying to publish utoc emulator 😔

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:38 PM

Oh right

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:38 PM

#

I haven't gotten around to updating the template, not sure when I will

#

I'd take a PR for it though

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:39 PM

#

Weird that it worked with unreal essentials though, maybe I leeft it targeting .net 7

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:39 PM

#

It was probably TargetFramework = net7.0

#

so it used .NET 7 SDK

#

if you had it installed

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:41 PM

#

Same thing

#

I'm guessing it's something I'm doing wrong with the rust stuff

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:42 PM

#

Can you show the top of your .csproj ?

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:43 PM

#

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:43 PM

#

Try https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NET.ILLink.Tasks#versions-body-tab

8.0.1

Microsoft.NET.ILLink.Tasks 8.0.1

MSBuild tasks for running the IL Linker

#

If it doesn't work, try TargetFramework = 8.0-windows

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:44 PM

#

nvm it was my fault

#

I added the package in vs but it didn't save the csproj

#

it works now ty

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:48 PM

#

no sweat :p

#

I actually wonder what'll happen if .NET 9 rolls around, whether 8.0.1. of ILLink.Tasks will still be valid. Only one way to find out, wait, haha

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

😔 Why is --out-dir an unexpected argumeent in this...

cargo +nightly rustc --release -Z build-std=std,panic_abort -Z build-std-features=panic_immediate_abort --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc --crate-type cdylib --out-dir "../../Publish/ToUpload/UTOC.Stream.Emulator"

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

rustc != build

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

oh

#

I know nothing about rust lol

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:49 PM

#

build is essentially a wrapper around rustc

#

But we invoke rustc directly so we can set crate type

#

(Note that's actually not necessary for this specific project, as crate type is already cdylib in Cargo.toml)

#

So you can probably remove it and just use build with --out-dir

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

Oh, ok

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:50 PM

#

boreal fiber (Note that's actually not necessary for this specific project, as crate type is ...

I just put it there because that's what I use in CI.

#

Since I make libraries that have C exports, but are also regular Rust libraries
(I need to explicitly specify when building)

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:54 PM

#

Apparently I need to add -Z unstable-options but it also has -Z build-std-features=panic_immediate_abort already and doesn't seeem to pick up unstable-options

dusky steppe Feb 3, 2024, 1:54 PM

#

i just put -Z unstable-options right before --out-dir

#

that's whats worked for me

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:55 PM

#

Bruh I'm also editing the wrong ps1

#

naodead

#

I'm tired lol

#

Surprisingly editing the right file makes it work

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:55 PM

#

LOL

#

In my CI workloads, I manually extract the built files, since specifying --out-dir might (maybe, unsure) have unwanted files

#

What I do in CI anyway: https://github.com/Reloaded-Project/reloaded-templates-rust/blob/a967b8c1b3b0c67b4a4659b2a96e888f9e944aa3/.github/actions/build-c-library/action.yml#L46

didn't you say yiu wantes reloaded 3 to be on rust ? Is that template supposed to be some sort of transition for r2 to r3 later ?

wild abyss Feb 3, 2024, 1:58 PM

#

I'm using a mix of the rust and normal c# reloaded publishing template stuff though so it's making a bit of a mess. The publishing tool is deleting the compiled rust stuff 😔

#

(Or it might be the publish script...)

boreal fiber Feb 3, 2024, 1:58 PM

Probably the script

patent belfry Feb 4, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

Dumb question but will other framework tools like AWB emulator (for music) work when this comes out? Or will that need to be updated separately

modest shale Feb 4, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

probably need a bit of an update i assume

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 2:37 AM

#

I think they'll need to be updated, it seems like the format for them is a bit different or something.

#

I'll work on bf emulator but AWB will be up to someone else, I don't really know anything about them

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 4:39 AM

#

Could you send it

#

The screenshot's fine. That looks right...

#

Oh

#

Yeah you have to export them from a utoc

#

Yeah, uassets inside of utocs have a different format than those in paks

#

We (Rirurin most likely) will probably add something to automatically convert them eventually but for now you need to deal with a bit of pain

#

umm I think it's just uassets that are different

dusky steppe Feb 4, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

i knew that feature was going to come in handy at some point

#

yea the uasset structure is completely different between cooked packages and io store packages

#

I open every uasset on mod init to check if they have the cooked package file magic, and if I do, stop it from getting merged in and write it out to the console

#

ubulks contain the texture data lol

#

uasset is just metadata

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 4:45 AM

#

Oh, I thought you meant do you need to export them from a utoc

#

Damn

#

Ok, onto that then

#

Could unreal people confirm whether a pak with the structure ../../../CUIO_Xbox/Content/Xrd777/UI/KeyHelp/Platforms/_Win64 should work with P3R? (which uses ../../../P3R/Content/.....)

#

If it should work then it's something I'll have to fix

#

#

ok

#

Yeah, I'll try and fix it

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 4:53 AM

I'm not really sure what you're doing but it's wrong

#

Unreal Essentials and Utoc emulator are two mods you install

#

Then you set unreal essentials as a dependency of your mod in reloaded

#

Also you can't use the json file, you have to edit the actual uasset

dusky steppe Feb 4, 2024, 4:54 AM

orchid harness And I'm using the jsons so I didn't do the UTOC stuff

Now everything goes in the UnrealEssentials folder, no UnrealEssentials/PAK or UTOC. This includes loose files and full ones

kind of random question, but has someone tested what happens if a file is both in a utoc and a pak?

they shouldn't be

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

Yes

dusky steppe Feb 4, 2024, 5:09 AM

#

dusky steppe they shouldn't be

pak is just for storing formats io store doesn't support
they're mutually exclusive

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 5:10 AM

#

(After I change the code to look in there)

#

It shouldn't, literally just changing this string
My guess is maybe utoc emulator is messing with stuff

orchid harness Feb 4, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

Is this the wrong one?

#

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 5:11 AM

#

That's the source code

#

As I and others have said, there's no public version

#

Just the ones I've sent in here or in the github actions build artifacts

orchid harness Feb 4, 2024, 5:12 AM

#

so just go back to the old one and add a folder file?

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 5:12 AM

#

You can use these if you want (just built from the latest commit)

📎 GitHub_Release_4.zip

#

The only change is the fix to that crash which won't happen once you actually put stuff in your mod anyway

#

Weirder still, it immediately crashes if I don't add any mods to utoc emulator and load the full utoc from UnrealEssentials

orchid harness Feb 4, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

wild abyss You can use these if you want (just built from the latest commit)

the folder with the second zip inside?

Yes, the .7z

orchid harness Feb 4, 2024, 5:17 AM

nvm it did something weird, i got the normal zip

i should just put on yakety sax in the background lol

guess i'll ask them about it

What chunk id does the emulated utoc use @dusky steppe?

#

I'm wondering if it's a conflict

#

(I'm also not sure how to check myself)

dusky steppe Feb 4, 2024, 6:26 AM

#

oh i thought that was getting set by essentials

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 6:26 AM

#

Idk

dusky steppe Feb 4, 2024, 6:27 AM

#

Set order of [mod_path] to 1000

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 6:27 AM

#

How is chunk id even defined

#

That's priority

#

Isn't chunk id a different thing?

dusky steppe Feb 4, 2024, 6:27 AM

#

oh yeah that chunk id

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 6:28 AM

#

If it's something I could change using essentials I don't mind doing that, I just don't even understand where it's set

#

I assume it's just a part of the format that I couldn't really do anything about

dusky steppe Feb 4, 2024, 6:30 AM

#

the container chunk id is made for the toc in new() in impl TocResolverCommon for TocResolverType2

#

as of P3RE_TEST that was just a hash of "Game"

#

that might be an issue if the root folder's name doesn't match that then (though I thought that had been fixed?)

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 6:31 AM

#

Hmm ok

#

Well I change the root folder to Game (if it isn't Engine) so I think it'd be fine...

dusky steppe Feb 4, 2024, 6:31 AM

#

ah

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 6:36 AM

#

Well it's probably not a conflict then...

#

I just don't get why it works in Unreal but not UnrealEssentials. Makes no sense

dusky steppe Feb 4, 2024, 6:51 AM

#

what mod was having problems specifically? I've so far checked mod menu which is fine and the controller buttons which don't work bc it uses cooked packages

Controller UI Overhaul with the full utoc and pak files isn't working

fwiw the hex edited uasset I put in my mod didn't do anything when I tested it

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 6:54 AM

Did it show it being added in the log?

orchid harness Feb 4, 2024, 6:55 AM

#

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 6:55 AM

#

That says it found nothing...

#

Wait, it's looking in the wrong place

#

Did you make Unreal Essentials a dependency of your mod or io store emulator?

orchid harness Feb 4, 2024, 6:56 AM

#

my mod

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 6:57 AM

#

That doesn't answer the question

#

I think I worded it poorly

#

What dependencies does your mod have?

orchid harness Feb 4, 2024, 6:57 AM

#

just unreal essentials

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 6:57 AM

#

Ok, then it should work

orchid harness Feb 4, 2024, 6:58 AM

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 6:59 AM

Seems like you've somehow got an old version of unreal essentials. Can you extract these two into your mods folder (should be the latest)

Yes it should

#

wild abyss I'll work on bf emulator but AWB will be up to someone else, I don't really know...

It (AWB) should work out of the box assuming UTOC and/or PAK's loose file loading is to spec

#

(also just woke up aaaa)

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 7:30 AM

#

Script compiler has to be updated to support the new files (they're in uassets now plus a new opcode plus new library)

boreal fiber Feb 4, 2024, 7:30 AM

#

I meant AWB* oops

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 7:30 AM

#

And I think something's different about the awbs although maybe that wouldn't effect the emulator, just the way people make the files (do not quote me on this, I know nothing about audio files)

boreal fiber Feb 4, 2024, 7:31 AM

#

In AWB's case, it's a simple archive container for files. Just some metadata in header and then files, with padding between them.

#

The problematic thing is the header of the AWB file is copied to the ACB, and the CRI code basically never uses the actual AWB header

#

In any case, I was a bit lazy and decided to modify the ACBs by sigscanning the AWB header in them

#

So although it unfortunately means you can't add many files to the AWB (eventually header will become too big), it should handle format changes in ACB just fine.

#

Unless they decide to compress the ACBs

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 7:34 AM

#

Alright, well that sounds like good news for music modding people (not me)

Anyway back to broken stuff. I'll try using a version before that commit to see if it's still broken

Time for 1.0.1 lol

boreal fiber Feb 4, 2024, 10:08 AM

Though for the purpose of cleanliness, maybe make a 'P3R Essentials' mod. This is so people can put it as a dependency when making their mod; to keep things simple.

#

And 'P3R Essentials' can include things needed by the game as dependencies of itself. (It can be a dummy mod for now)

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 10:08 AM

#

Yeah, that does make sensee

boreal fiber Feb 4, 2024, 10:08 AM

The other benefit of that is if the game had some radical change that broke stuff, you could fix things that way.

bronze shadow Speaking of which, I wonder if that thumbnail should be updated now it supports ...

It could, though in the long run the mod should be split into separate games.

#

Because right now the user is technically paying the cost for code that's not used.

#

(code for other 2 games)

#

I don't want to risk breaking mod setups though, so it's a thing that's 'left for R3' like many others.

#

Since for R3 I intend to repack (republish) all mods to make sure they meet packaging standards.

(There will be auto converter, but mods will still require human review before reuploading)

#

People don't actually even need to download or enable essentials standalone

#

They download any mod they want, and it gets auto downloaded as a dependency

#

If the mod isn't published right, that can happen, but if you download any mod that is published right, it'll download it and you're good. So if you download 2 mods you're unlikely to run into it.

boreal fiber Feb 4, 2024, 10:47 AM

#

boreal fiber ------ Since for R3 I intend to repack (republish) all mods to make sure they me...

For example (and I know this sounds overkill), single music tracks will go into their own mods.

Then any other mod will be able to 'reference' that music track file, and map it to an arbitrary location. (I.e. they place a text file and it uses the music track file from other mod)

What it means is multiple mods (even across different games) can use the same music track, but the music track is only downloaded and stored on the disk once.

#

Or didn't have update info setup, ya.

wild abyss Feb 4, 2024, 10:48 AM

#

Yeah it's because it couldn't fit on gb

#

dc fixed it by putting it on github

boreal fiber Feb 4, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

boreal fiber For example (and I know this sounds overkill), single music tracks will go into ...

That may sound annoying to work with, by the way, and in some aspects that may be true, but there's also upsides.

Say you want to use an ADX music track, you can search the mods for the 'asset mod' with a track, set it as a dependency and say in text file 'include this file from this other ADX music file mod'.

Now you've avoided having to manually rip the track from another game (or looping it yourself), and can just use it with a single line of text.

#

In the ADX example case, the repository of music tracks would become eventually big enough ||~~Smash Custom Music 2~~||, that you could just find whatever you want outright, rather than looping it yourself or ripping it. So it'd be annoying at first, and convenient in the long run.

#

And if I do this right, say, with Virtual FileSystem, then mods won't even need to be aware of it.

So VFS extension reads the text file, it redirects your ADX file to AWB Emulator input, AWB Emulator kicks in and it 'just works'.

#

Without AWB emu needing to be aware of it

Dumb question but to get mods working for P3R on Steam Deck should I just have protontricks load R2 through P3R’s prefix and add the launch command to P3R on Steam?

boreal fiber Feb 4, 2024, 3:14 PM

Should be pretty much same steps as any other game on deck

They had to modify build script by hand manually, always a chance something weird happened.

#

Since they're building .NET code with some code native code in Rust as part of 1 build

#

@wild abyss You need to specify "UseReleaseTag": false,

Since you're shipping 2 different mods under 1 release page.

P3R Essentials is UE Essentials

obsidian moon Feb 4, 2024, 4:26 PM

#

for future release it would be better to just use P3R Essentials?

boreal fiber Feb 4, 2024, 4:26 PM

#

P3R Essentials is just a dummy mod right now, that enables UE Essentials as a dependency.

#

The purpose is so mods can target it as a dependency; so if game updates etc. happen, we can get some custom logic in there if needed so things work right.

#

And so non-code mod authors don't need to specify multiple dependencies.

#

You can just set UE Essentials as dependency and switch it to P3R Essentials before releasing your mod, it won't make a difference.

boreal fiber *P3R Essentials* is *UE Essentials*

No I know, I’m just not sure if it’d be a hassle to try and set up a music mod that uses UE Essentials now and then switching it to use P3R Essentials as a dependency (not releasing until P3R essentials) or if it’d literally be as simple as downloading P3R Essentials then changing the mod dependency

#

Which side note I’m not even sure how music modding is different for this game compared to P5R, I know how to do music replacement in P5R but I don’t know what file format the music should be (should it be the P5R encrypted ADX? Something else?) and I heard there was some weirdness with the Unreal stuff regarding music mods

pixel you're using loose loading right

Chunk id conflicts are going to be a problem

Use loose fils if you can

Hmm, then idk

visual bramble Feb 5, 2024, 3:35 AM

wild abyss Feb 5, 2024, 3:35 AM

What are the two mods?

Can you just set the chunk id to something different

Do that then

patent belfry Feb 5, 2024, 3:36 AM

#

We’re gonna need to figure out what’s in each chunk

wild abyss Feb 5, 2024, 3:37 AM

#

I don't know if there's another fix. I think chunk id is baked into the file too much for it to be easily changed

#

Pak emulator would be a solution but that's a lot of effort wheen loose files exist

visual bramble Feb 5, 2024, 3:37 AM

#

just use loose files naowhyvanish

wild abyss Feb 5, 2024, 3:37 AM

#

And presumably would have thee same problem anyway with file size

dusky steppe Feb 5, 2024, 3:37 AM

#

yeah that's because loose files don't have any compression

wild abyss Feb 5, 2024, 3:38 AM

#

Maybe we could come up with a way to compress the files without putting them in paks

Idk, this probably isn't a problem that's getting solved now

Shows if you hover over the submissions button

why does steam input not work for this but it did for the older version I was using

#

How does ASI Loader work again

#

Someone remind me

wild abyss Feb 5, 2024, 3:58 AM

#

I don't think unreal essentials has anything to do with it

#

are you launching it through reloaded

wild abyss Feb 5, 2024, 3:58 AM

#

It's just random, steam just doesn't like launching through reloaded sometimes

While I wait for .NET 8.0 install to my P3R wine prefix

As in “sometimes input will be there” or “some games don’t have input”

wild abyss Feb 5, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

Sometimes steam seeems to just steal your controller

#

do mind that the number that shows up for mods when you hover over the submission tab includes mods you have set to private and not published

Not that that makes too much difference tbf but still, affects the numbers lol

wild abyss Feb 5, 2024, 3:59 AM

#

It either doesn't work at all or inputs are doubled

#

Like it simulates a keyboard input but also recieves the real controller one

#

It's funky

patent belfry Feb 5, 2024, 4:00 AM

#

Ah

#

So uh, ASI Loader the way to go?

wild abyss Feb 5, 2024, 4:00 AM

#

ebon shard do mind that the number that shows up for mods when you hover over the submissio...

I'm fairly sure every mod in there would be public for me. I only put things private temporarily before release

#

I vaguely recall P4G being a nightmare cause of that back when I played it

wild abyss Feb 5, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

It's weird, I've never had the same problem with another game through reloaded

patent belfry Feb 5, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

I’m on steam deck is the thing

#

So that’s part of it

#

if you're using a ps controller, make sure you force ps support on in controller settings

patent belfry Feb 5, 2024, 4:01 AM

#

P4G would literally hang or not load all mods properly 9 times out of 10

#

I had title screen fix load last because if it didn’t load I would know not everything worked

#

wait so unreal essentials is still the dependency?

#

wait nope i read (unlike me for a persona fan) it's P3R Essentials
