NacaStorage - Upload your favorite VPet Digimon!

[restive cairn]

Hello, long ago I made NacaBattle, a website for battling vpets online, and as part of it I also made NacaStorage, but never quite introduced it in a proper way. Recently I've been suggested to improve it and make it more personalized, and then post it here for everyone to see.

NacaStorage works alongside NacaBattle, is also accessed from the same website. The way it works is, you upload your favorite vpet Digmon and they will stay up there, forever. You can also use them in some circumstances for example to jogres them with your vpets if you uploaded a PenZ/PenC mon, also now working to bring DM20 copy ability.

This comes useful in case of group hatches in Digitama Hatchery, VPet tournaments, special occasions...

Currently I'm in the process of improving it (make it more personal, show Digivolution lines for the mons you upload, add medals to each mon for participating in events, create APIs so people can create stuff with the mons you uploaded...) and if you are interested, I wanted to hear feedback from you, what would you be interested in doing with it? Or what are you missing from it to make it even better for everyone?

It also has a DigiDex that is expanded every time you battle from within NacaBattle or upload a Digimon to NacaStorage, but it's still very barebones, which I'm working on.

[restive cairn]

To commemorate Odiaba Memorial Day I will be giving away medals to every Digimon uploaded during the 1st of August 2024 Upload your Digimon partner, and by the next update where the medal system is released, those Digimon uploaded during today will get a commemorative medal. Have fun!

[tranquil canyon]

intente usar tu pagina pero no tuve resultados :(, puedes poner un post de instrucciones ?
las quería repasar pero no las volví a encontrar

[restive cairn]

hey, are you trying to upload a digimon to the storage?

[novel prism]

Would it ever be possible to use the Digimon stored to battle so that a person doesn't have to constantly reconnect?

[restive cairn]

it's planned

[novel prism]

That is so awesome

[restive cairn]

i have a lot of features planned after suggestion from everyone, but right now i'm trying to relax a little, so i have reduced my pace

[tranquil canyon]

@restive cairn yep, i was trying and fail like 5 times(?), when it say smthng like "connect you v pet" nothing happens , i've try battle with the "x" and "other" option

used my old and new acom so ... idk, clicked the tutoria so fast and now when i need it :'v incant find it

me bad

take your time ❤️ ~~~ i'm hypped just found this post today

[restive cairn]

Sure thing, I'll add a button to reset the tutorial

[restive cairn]

done, go to https://battle.nacatech.es/about and click on Click here to reset warnings, tutorial messages and stored configs.

[tranquil canyon]

❤️ succes ,

[hallow stone]

how does it work and all?

nvm, the thing says it in there, smart

can it be used with vb mons?

[restive cairn]

Not yet, I still don't know if to put vb mons in the same place as the vpet mons

And also I'll probably give it a go once VB arena is dead

[hallow stone]

ok. also I sadly can't use it yet cause i don't have a dcom/acom, which should i get, cause i wanna put all my mons, including my penx mons

[viral saffron]

Does it work online on computer or also on smartphones ?

[restive cairn]

works on both, if you are using a wificom it's very straightforward, in case of an acom you need a separate application for android

[viral saffron]

I’m using an acom, what app do I need ?

[restive cairn]

It's called NacaHelper, it's also available in the same site for download

you download it, install it, open it, connect your acom, give it permission and then minimize the app (don't close it) and open NacaStorage in your web browser

Now when you upload you will be prompted to use Nacahelper, click on it and your acom should flash

[viral saffron]

Great
Thank you

[surreal saffron]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @restive cairn (current: #26 - 50)

[restive cairn]

next update gonna add a few more things, penog and pen20 will be a few of them

for some reason i thought pen20 had been already added for a good while

also support for jogressing a penog with a penc digimon and vice versa will also come too

[hallow stone]

Wait, for all the bw sprites, do they get color in the Nacastorage

[restive cairn]

yes

because i kinda got lazy and reused the penc entries for the penog

as in, copy old entry, paste it changing device and index

[hallow stone]

I was kinda meaning for more than pen og and such

I was meaning for stuff like PenX, Pen prog, acell, etc

[restive cairn]

I would have to check, but I haven't dug deeper into the penx jogress system

Technically implementing it shouldn't take longer than what took me for the PenOG since the data is already in the system

It's just that's missing a class to build the digirom

[livid belfry]

There seems to be a gateway error?

I found this happened when trying to rename a nicknamed digimon

[restive cairn]

lemme see

@livid belfry can you try again?

i think this is because i was doing some maintenance around that time

[livid belfry]

It was intermittent at the time

I just did the same steps as before and it still seems somewhat laggy?

[restive cairn]

Weird, it's running fine for me, let me restart the server

Try now, looks like the server did something weird

Apparently when I restarted the server it locked up, rebooted it now

Looks like I should probably reboot the server every now and then

[livid belfry]

Is there a character limit for names? I find when I shortened one nickname it seemed to work better than it's longer counterpart

[restive cairn]

I think there was a 20 character limit iirc

Should I up it?

[livid belfry]

ahh okay, I tried something that was longer than 20 characters

I think it's fine if there's a limit, it lets you type in a longer name on the nickname page but then chooses to not update

It doesn't tell you if there's an issue if the name is too long

[restive cairn]

I think that's because I'm not handling the error correctly, so it acts like everything went correct

Will correct for next update

[livid belfry]

I'll leave my Imperialdramon: Fighter Mode as "Christina Aguilera" instead of "Christina Aguilera - Fighter Mode"

[restive cairn]

[livid belfry]

Such a queen

I think I had too much fun with the nickname feature

[restive cairn]

Lmao

[frigid heath]

Loving this whole setup!

[restive cairn]

nice, hope you enjoy it

so many stuff on the works for next update

[restive cairn]

New update on NacaStorage

• Support for Baby stages (these will appear when you scan a rookie digimon, or a baby II in the case of the penz and dmx)
• Tracking evolution lines
• PenOG 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 support (will add 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 once the PenCs come out)
• Jogressing between PenOG and PenC and vice versa
• Pen20 support (some sprites missing, will be adding as I go and they are discovered)
• Ability to add text descriptions to Digimon
• Delete account button
• Fixed bug with Pendulum X (x.0 and x.5) where uploaded Digimon are not what they really are
• Fix PenX entries
• PenX mon nature (?) is also stored with the mon you upload

[restive cairn]

Next update in NacaStorage is bringing the following:

⬜ Not started
☑️ In progress
✅ Complete
➡️ Postponed until further notice

• Add Digivice Color support ☑️
• Better integration with group hatches ⬜
• Badge system ✅
• Design medals ☑️
• Merge Digimon into a single line ✅
• Ability to change the level of previous stages of any mon (QoL) ⬜
• Display device background under mon in NacaStorage ⬜
• Improve NacaStorage mobile layout ✅
  • Folder icons (for now they will be predefined) (needed because mobile layout hides the names in order to show more in less space) ☑️
• Test run PenX jogres DigiROMs ✅
• Fix PenX sprites ☑️
• Update D-Terminal relationships (new devices were added and some mons are not updated) ⬜
• Modify upload page so when you add the evolution of a Digimon the correspoding device is automatically selected for convenience ⬜

as for the new mobile layout it's very basic

and now you see why i need to add custom folder icons

i need to also bring the banner back in a more compact way

badges look something along the lines of this

will also be shown in the grid view

and these badges will be given out when you upload any mon from a group hatch/tournament/nacabattle events

and i'll also be changing the url from battle.nacatech.es/nacastorage to battle.nacatech.es/ns. Old one will just redirect to the new one

i did that to make it fit the general naming scheme of all the urls i have

such as /np, /ns, /sb...

and for nacastorage battles, should be here soon, going to make small minigames to get boost advantages and to make them somewhat more interesting

and this is what's been cooking for the past few weeks

if you have any suggestions do let me know!

[umbral needle]

Digital Monster 20th(Japanese Ver) is not supported? I tried it, but the error occurred.

[restive cairn]

i never tested it, will check on it later

[livid belfry]

Tried connecting to DMX Japanese yellow version while at the baby II stage, connection was successful but error popped up that index was out of range. I assume in-training digimon aren't supported?

[restive cairn]

DMXE?

i still haven't added it

should get around adding it soon

DMX 3 not yet

[livid belfry]

Ah fair enough

[restive cairn]

should work with the dm revival

if you can send me an slow battle link through nacabattle i'd appreciate it

[umbral needle]

https://battle.nacatech.es/sb/f9d36852-3366-407e-a73d-df7dc7bee712
here. DM20th alphamon(japanese B ver)

[restive cairn]

Ohhhhh

I remember now

Yeah I didn't include the Japanese characters in the name

That's why it's out of range

Thanks for letting me know, will have it working for next release

btw

just finished replacing the penx sprites in the staging database, I will be deploying them to production later tonight. There is one sprite missing for medieval dukemon, if someone wants to make it themselves do let me know and i'll add it and credit them appropiately, as i'm not good at making sprite work

[umbral needle]

I made it based on Dukemon Sprite.

[restive cairn]

woah

if you don't mind me using it, i'll add it and then add you to the credits section if you want

[umbral needle]

Of course! Please use it

[restive cairn]

Quick update to NacaStorage

• PenC WGu, MEm and VBu can be uploaded
• PenOG WGu, MEm and VBu are now also available too
• Jogressing between PenC Wave 2 <-> PenOG is also available

These devices also appear in NacaFarm too

I also think that this update pubished the new sprites for the PenX, which if it did i apologize to @umbral needle because the Medieval dukemon might have been uploaded with all the results

You will still be credited once the version 0.21 releases, since this update only changed the database, and not the credits page sadly

I apologize for this

I'm going to release the next update as soon as I can to correct this error

[restive cairn]

New thing also coming, backgrounds on mons

[restive cairn]

Aight, i'm done adding features, i was planning on adding folder icons in this version, but i have to meet a deadline for the update, which is next week, and i'm left to check on bugs and make sure everything works

[placid geyser]

Really love how far you've brought this! For fun, made a new background for NacaFarm, thought I'd share in case anyone else can use it too 🙂

256x256

[restive cairn]

yoo looks awesome

[placid geyser]

Thanks!! I can't take too much credit though, I assembled it in Aseprite using tilesheets made by FinalBossBlues. I didn't draw these by hand (I wish I was that good)

Here's a more retro background in case people prefer that style

[placid geyser]

I'm trying to code a batch file that opens NacaFarm on my desktop with a window size of 256x256. But it's nearly 1am here and apparently I'm too tired to write scripts correctly XD

[restive cairn]

I plan on having a few extras in NacaFarm for next update, and one includes a sprite scaling thing

[placid geyser]

Ooooh that's awesome

[atomic yew]

I'm hyped for the mobile apk !

[restive cairn]

on your preferred web browser you can click on install and it will install as an apk in the meantime

you can also install it on your desktop if you want

[sudden dawn]

Do you know if this is working with iOS?

[restive cairn]

it should also work

same was as you can install humulos guide on your phone as an app

tho as of now the nacastorage screen doesn't look that good since the current version doesn't have the mobile patch

next version does come with it

[atomic yew]

Is it only for nacabattle ? I would like nacastorage as an apk. Do you plan to fuse both apk in the future ? Also could we connect with our e-mail ?

[unique cedar]

NacaAuth can be used to connect an account to an email.

[restive cairn]

If you want go to profile settings > link NacaAuth > register and once you register your account will be linked to NacaAuth

And you will also be able to unlink discord if you want

About nacastorage APK, I could probably make another manifest so that NacaStorage can be installed standalone

[restive cairn]

Aight, everything has been updated to 0.21

time to drop a feature list

if there are any bugs do let me know

[livid belfry]

Bless 🙏
Going to test out digivice colour and DMX/E

[atomic yew]

Oh sorry it's true, there is already all in nacabattle. I juste need vital bracelet be to be added.

[restive cairn]

i still don't know much about vital bracelet yet

do i want to have it? yeah, absolutely

[echo wave]

Is there a possibility to keep older stages of Digimon from showing up in the Nacafarm?

[inner oxide]

@echo wave has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[restive cairn]

Rn no, but I can make it togglable

[echo wave]

Coolness!

Also, I can't seem to merge my Sakuyamon X and Dukemon X for some reason.

Or change Dukemon X's level, for that matter.

[restive cairn]

you can only change the level to a previous stage

[echo wave]

Sorry, I'm confused. Are you saying I can only change a Dukemon X into its previous evolution, Sakuyamon X? Or are you saying I can only level it down. So from level 6 to level 5?

[inner oxide]

SHINKA!

@echo wave has evolved into Baby II!

[restive cairn]

oh my bad, sorry i misunderstood

i see what you are trying to do now

i see, you cannot merge them together since they are the same stage, merging will only work if all the mons you are trying to merge are from different stages

aka ultimate and super ultimate can be merged into the same line

but two ultimates can't

merging will grab all the mons and create an evolution line

oh nvm

i just realized something

those two can be merged, the thing is that i didn't set the stage correctly in the database

i'll update later today and you can try again, sorry for the confusion

try again, forgot to update the mons table yesterday

[echo wave]

All good. Just merged them. Although the Cerberusmon X that I merged onto my Sakuyamon X disappeared. >3>

Still visible in the Nacafarm, though.

[sudden dawn]

Is the point of merging so that all digi of a single hatch are treated as a single entity?

[restive cairn]

Will check, set the description as "check later"

[restive cairn]

For digimon you raised previous to the evolution line update

So they can be merged into a single line

[sudden dawn]

Ah awesome, I haven't gotten a D-Com yet so sadly I haven't been able to try nacastorage

[echo wave]

Just tried merging my Cerberusmon X and my Dukemon X to see if all the stages would be merged this time, but now the Sakuyamon X disappeared. And since she doesn't have any sprites yet, she's not visible in the Nacafarm.

Whoops. >3>

[restive cairn]

gimme a min

oh i see

tell me, what line do you want?

I'll check the merging algorithm later today once i'm done with class

will also fix the issue with unseeable digimon

[echo wave]

Cerberusmon X --> Sakuyamon X --> Dukemon X

[restive cairn]

let me check

done

[echo wave]

Danke

Still can't seem to change Dukemon X's level from 6 to 10. I can change Cerberusmon X's level from 6 to 7, though.

[restive cairn]

ah, you cannot change the level for the final stage of a digimon, this is because when it reaches the final stage you can wait and upload it once you have the level you want, but on previous stages people didn't want to wait before evolution to upload, might change this if people don't like it

[echo wave]

Ah, okay.

That makes sense.

[atomic yew]

Have you heard of the Digital Partner apk?

[restive cairn]

No, not really

[atomic yew]

There are 667 Digimon with tha animated Sprites od the vital bracelet. There are the features of Tamagotchi and the creator plans to make online battle.

There IS also Infinite stock of digimon

And data registering

[sudden dawn]

But can you transfer mons between the BE and the app?

[restive cairn]

Nah, I want VB compatibility

Adding VB won't be easy, but once it's added it'll have all the features NacaBattle/NacaStorage bring to the table

I still cannot safely say when I'll bring VB/BE stuff here, but it's my ultimate goal

[sudden dawn]

I meant the digital partner app mentioned above

[restive cairn]

Oh I don't think so, currently not many details about the BE were known

I think they mean it uses the BE sprites

[sudden dawn]

Ahh that makes sense

[atomic yew]

You can't because it used the death mechanism

[sudden dawn]

Death mechanism?

[atomic yew]

Digimon lifespan

[echo wave]

Are you referring to this project? https://aludeku.itch.io/digital-partner-digimon

[atomic yew]

Yes! 👍

[atomic yew]

Maybe you could work together?

[restive cairn]

I'm open to collabs, tho rn i'm a bit busy hacking stuff together

[inner oxide]

SHINKA!

@gentle sky has evolved into Baby I!

[unique cedar]

No.

This server is not for piracy, nor is this thread for piracy.

Suck it up and buy another Pendulum COLOR ZERO then. Desperation will do nothing for you here.

[restive cairn]

I have changed a few stuff about the pen20

Would anyone be able to test and tell me if you can upload mons from your pen20?

[sudden dawn]

@restive cairn sorry for the ping but am having no luck sending my Gallantmon to NacaStorage... Managed to send Omegamon from the same device just fine I was using the wrong connection method

The link for more info on the group hatch isn't going anywhere though, sadly

Think you have it linking to the same page

https://battle.nacatech.es/ns/upload?group=hatch

Also, are the sprites the same as the ones on w0rld?

[restive cairn]

I don't think so

[restive cairn]

This is to upload a Mon to the group hatch folder

[sudden dawn]

Yes, but I grabbed the link from that bit of text there. Should it not link to more info instead?

[restive cairn]

oh that's because i did not create that site when pushing to production

[restive cairn]

We are back

currently working on database restructuring

this will fix a lot of issues related to sprites missing their color counterpart or not existing in the farm

i still have a long way to go since i have to change a lot of SQL queries to adapt to the new format

this will also allow me to divide the mons, instead of by device, will be done by device and egg

which will also improve the dex department too for devices with multiple eggs

also now that i got myself a pen20, i'll also figure out pen20 jogressing soon

[unique cedar]

🫡 pen20 jogres would be awesome.
maybe that'll inspire me to run mine this year..

[tiny garden]

Does this work with PenX? I tried uploading my Omegamon X and it gives me an index out of range error

[restive cairn]

it should, one sec

gimme a min, i'm going to send you a digirom, send it to your device and give me the result

[restive cairn]

https://battle.nacatech.es/digirom/console?d=X2-0009-0009-0009 here

send this digirom to your device and screenshot the terminal

[restive cairn]

thank you, give me a few mins

it says here you are uploading as penX.5

yours is a 1.0 or a 1.5, sorry

1.5 doesn't have omegamon x

can you try uploading it as a standalone mon?

[tiny garden]

mine should be a 1.5.
its blue and white

[restive cairn]

oh my bad then

yeah i did a big oops

[restive cairn]

found the issue now, issuing patch

try again now @tiny garden

apparently back when i was adding penx i forgot the penx.5 existed

so it just didn't process it

[tiny garden]

It works now
Thank you

thats weird because the PenX 0.5 was there on the devices list

[restive cairn]

yeah i just forgot to add two lines on the processor

[iron void]

Hi, thank you for your work

On nacastorage the dmon stay always there. In w0rld for example I need to upload it every time I play

[restive cairn]

yeah, nacastorage is intended as a way to build a digimon library out of your favorite mons, and you can reuse them to jogress or play with them at the farm

[iron void]

Lovely

[restive cairn]

New update to NacaStorage, slowly getting rid of the old sprites for US/SEA and the digimon mini/penx

you'll see new faces

[unique cedar]

muh black and whites

metalgreymon (vi) on mini
it's metalgreymon (va). naca pls fix.

[restive cairn]

i thought i had updated the defective dmc sprites plaguing the farm... maybe i didn't whoops

[restive cairn]

oido cocina

query overwrote all the virus sprites with vaccine ones

@unique cedar check now

[unique cedar]

he's still virus on the mini dex and in my storage

[restive cairn]

ohh my bad, I thought you meant the one in the mini was virus and it had the vaccine sprite

fixing again, i apologize

done

as for next updates queued in line, will be related to nacafarm and nacabattle

plus a few things for nacastorage too

(and one of those will be getting rid of the ugly progress completion thing with a better looking one and more efficient

having so many devices for me means that the progress thing is getting out of hand and size

[unique cedar]

over 500 digimon in us/sea digivices..... i would pull my eyes out trying to scan all that...

[restive cairn]

they are not all scannable, i need to get rid of some

for example, there is red v-dramon or master v-dramon

which i doubt there are in any device

i got all of them from the d-spirit 2

[tiny garden]

Since Mastemon wasn’t on the original pendulum, can I still jogress Lady Devimon on a PenC with Angewomon on a PenOG?

[restive cairn]

Iirc I didn't add PenOG x.5 yet, so I think NacaBattle will say it doesn't exist

I'm slowly catching up to my backlog, since I'm done with my exams and I have 6 weeks of do nothing time

[tiny garden]

Alright
Thanks for the great work

[restive cairn]

My plan is the following right now

• Add PenOG x.5
• Add more options into the digirom analyzer
• Push a few updates for NacaFarm

Currently I'm focusing on fixing bugs and improving stuff to adding new feature

[dense canopy]

I can't upload DMX's digimon to Nakastorage. What's causing this?

I was able to upload DMC's digimon, so I think the A-com connection is working.

[dense canopy]

I was trying to upload Omegamon X for XB and Belphemon X for XD.

[restive cairn]

I'll check in a bit, sorry for the inconvenience

[restive cairn]

@dense canopy can you do the following? In order to diagnose issues, in the upload page, left click, inspect element

Then go to the console tab

And then do the upload for DMX

I need to make a friendlier process for diagnosing issues

In the meantime I'm going to see the console and check if there are any errors, one sec

[restive cairn]

actually wait, can you go to https://battle.nacatech.es/digirom/console?d=V2-007E-007E-041E-141E-004E and click send, then scan your digimon and then send me a screenshot? @dense canopy

this will give me a way to see how is your digirom being scanned and also a way to test against the server myself in a more controlled way

[dense canopy]

Thank you. I tried Belphemon X for XD right away.

[surreal saffron]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @restive cairn (current: #20 - 86)

[restive cairn]

oh that's weird

are you doing other battle?

you should do an x battle

@dense canopy

[dense canopy]

Digimon cannot be scanned in X-Battle

[restive cairn]

They can, other battle doesn't send the digimon information

X battle does

[dense canopy]

Sorry, I tried restarting it and it worked

[restive cairn]

yeah that looks correct

try again on nacastorage

[dense canopy]

Is this correct?

[restive cairn]

yes

[dense canopy]

Wow, the upload was successful!
Maybe it was a mistake to try to upload again after failing the Other battle.

[restive cairn]

nah don't worry, sometimes the server or the client has a mind of its own

[dense canopy]

Thank you! Now you can register DMX Digimon.

[restive cairn]

hope you enjoy

[dense canopy]

By the way, is there a way to register Digimon that cannot battle, like Baby 1 and Baby 2?

[unique cedar]

It is assumed on register. Even if you can battle a Baby II, for the case of the Mini.

[restive cairn]

^^

if it did not register do let me know and i'll flag it as a bug

i'm currently working on a tests framework for nacabattle in order to make the development process faster and easier

[dense canopy]

In other words, if I register even one digimon in that version, the Baby Digimon will be automatically registered?

[restive cairn]

yes

you can see if you click on the digimon you uploaded you will see the baby stages

[dense canopy]

If you click on a Digimon uploaded from here, nothing will change.

[inner oxide]

SHINKA!

@dense canopy has evolved into Child!

[restive cairn]

currently they don't do nothing

i'm still thinking what to show

nacabattle has a lot of digimon data, but that data is from digimon.net and i don't think i'm allowed to use it

later on i'll talk with the people running wikimon and ask them if i can use their data, texts and images and i'll make a proper dex

currently it only tracks your progress across vpets

eventually i want it to do more

[dense canopy]

That's great, I see, I understand, thank you

I am really looking forward to your current project.

[restive cairn]

Thanks, it won't disappoint

I have a lot of things in the works and now that I'm free from doing exams I'm able to spend more time on it

[placid geyser]

Hey naca, weird question

For the DMX, is there any way of uploading your partner's previous evos without re-raising them?

I just got JESmon X and completely forgot to upload his previous stages, but the DMX doesn't have the copymon option like the DM20

[restive cairn]

technically no, since there are a lot of paths to reach jesmon

and nacabattle only knows the baby 1/2/rookie stages

[placid geyser]

Oopsie, my bad then

Thanks man!

[restive cairn]

finished adding support for pen20 jogress digiroms, next i'll figure out copymon, but i'll postpone that until i get access to my pen20 again

next i'll do is add support for penOg x.5 and fix the navigation in the site, it's a bit confusing right now and it could get some improvement

after all of this, i will improve the device completion dialog with a new layout, current one gets very cramped as you get more devices

on another note, site translation is also coming along nicely, managed to translate to spanish the main site and nacaupdater for now, i have left to translate the website error codes and the server pages, but shouldn't be difficult, will update once it's ready and i'll also try figuring a translation to nederlands, since i know enough to manage my way around it

[livid belfry]

haha I was just about to ask about that, since jogress is supported for PenZ but not Pen20th just yet as an option

[restive cairn]

i'm also working on a penc <-> pen20 <-> penog system next, which isn't difficult

and nacabattle is already prepared to do it

so, yet another jogress button

[restive cairn]

and it is longer

i'll group all of them later

also it should be possible to unlock a dm20 if you have all dmogs

[restive cairn]

out with the old, in with the new

this should be the final result

[restive cairn]

Gonna be updating the dex soon with more features, stay tuned

[restive cairn]

so, due to royal knights policies, i see myself forced to add a toggle to support digicode, apparently digimon find it a bit disrespectful that they cannot use the app

[restive cairn]

advanced dex

wikimon helped me in this regard

Also mobile friendly too

[restive cairn]

Where did the script go wrong?

Re running the script and now it works, engineering

[dense canopy]

I found a mistake, PenC's Metalgreymon is a vaccine, not a virus.

[restive cairn]

Will fix soon, thanks for pointing out

[surreal saffron]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @dense canopy (current: #334 - 3)

[restive cairn]

fixed

sorry i was coming back from exchange and i only just got access to my pc

[dense canopy]

Thanks for fixing it!

[inner oxide]

@dense canopy has leveled up! (3 ➜ 4)

[dense canopy]

I'm sorry if I've rushed you.

[livid belfry]

Tried sending over a copymon via Tag battle from the Pen20 that's only accessible from Passwords, specifically this one

Upon scanning, it read it as Arresterdramon?

[restive cairn]

I don't think that copymon is possible to send

It'll default to a similar index

But when I was building the indexes into my database, I don't remember seeing neo specifically

[livid belfry]

It is a pretty obscure digimon since it doesn't have many frames apart from battling, otherwise it turns into a little copymon guy

Kinda curious testing this with other password-exclusive copymon

[restive cairn]

[hazy prism]

To be clear, you can "send back" mons back to your Dm20?

[unique cedar]

you can scan your digimon back as copymon (stock) yes.

[restive cairn]

then use them in tag battles or jogress

[hazy prism]

And I guess this is the only tool made for that purpose of storing mons of the vpet devices? So maybe a good use would be to raise mon to final form and then store it to raise another one?

[restive cairn]

it doesn't take them away of the device

[unique cedar]

in case you're confused. the storage part is not actually storage. it refers to scanning your still alive digimon. meaning you can't use this as a way to actually store digimon. like with the vital bracelet.

[restive cairn]

it's more of a hall of fame and use it for other purposes

i'm working on more stuff to make use of the little guys you upload to nacastorage

just had to pause due to events and uni and... uni events...

[warped oak]

Just found out about this project, really awesome!

[broken fractal]

I feel stupid for not being able to figure this out, but how do you actually copy mons off of devices? I'm on the DMX, is there documentation on this somewhere?

[unique cedar]

no. this is for scanning them using their native battle format.
if you want to make backups of your digimon as something you can upload to the device later, you'll need an eeprom programmer. which is not the intent of this.

[broken fractal]

yeah how do i scan them

i have everything plugged in and have reached the part where it says "connect to your device now" but like, what do I do on my device

[unique cedar]

choose to battle in your device's native format (so X). you may also need to push the a or b button to initiate the battle for it to scan.

[broken fractal]

THERE WE ARE!

i was sitting on the battle screen and hadnt pressed a button

thank you so much!

funnie shitmon is in storage

is it possible to extract d-roms from this?

for the other online battle system

[unique cedar]

your digirom will be put in the console (so you'll probably have to press F12 ot whatever to get to that) instead of something you can just copy and paste.

[broken fractal]

.....and if I haven't done that and have moved on from the webpage???

[unique cedar]

it is gone. meaning you'll probably just want to scan it using the stuff in nacaserial.

[broken fractal]

i mean its a numemon x it does not super matter

but i was just curious about the process in general

ohhhh i see, nacastorage is not about having a constant giant online source of digimon, there's other services for that

that makess sense

[broken fractal]

itss so cool btw i love nacastorage hehehe

[restive cairn]

i need to put more time on it, have a few things planned

but university is taking a toll on me rn

[broken fractal]

i mean, like, how does one even put time into it, its totally passive

its an extra step per evo stage

[restive cairn]

my plans are:

• improved farm, added items, more interactive
• open up apis, so that other people can create apps where your digimon appear in
• game area soon
• fighting against your digimon

[broken fractal]

i

feel stupid

youre the creator

hi boss eheheh

i feel ridiculously stupid hahahaha

[restive cairn]

nah dw

[broken fractal]

now im all embarrassed

[restive cairn]

nah lol

[broken fractal]

hwwowww!!!

thats a hell of a feature list

[warped oak]

Nice!! Excited to see it

Really happy to have a place to put my Digimon

[strong heart]

can i ask where you got that background from? :O

[warped oak]

It's from Digimon world ds

[livid belfry]

I tried scanning the V2 Pendulum Progress with my Seraphimon, it scanned Cupimon
Are the slots off?

Still really neat seeing more support for more devices

[restive cairn]

Also kind of an announcement, I'm looking into opening NacaStorage APIs, so if there's any developer that'd like to try out and give me feedback of the API layout do let me know.

The APIs are already done, only thing missing is an API key creation thing, which shouldn't be complex This API would grant read only access to any user that authorizes it by creating a personal API key and manually inputting it into the application.

I might consider adding some small storage for each application, somewhere around the lines of 64-128 bytes per digimon per application, which would allow other devs to have some data stored for each digimon uploaded to NacaStorage and not need a server of themselves to keep it distributed throughout different instances.

[restive cairn]

pencycle should be working, need to add the digirom processors and generators

[restive cairn]

good lord that's so uglily organized

i'll have to figure another way

[restive cairn]

babe another jogress button just dropped

the dialog is wider

i should just

[unique cedar]

sobbing.. can it be a drop down menu..

[restive cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/face-shrink-john-cena-gif-5630299

[restive cairn]

i want to sort out first the ui problems

remember i wrote this UI when i was desperate at a very late time in the evening

i want to redo a lot of the UIs in nacabattle, in a way that uses less code and it's easier to maintain

[unique cedar]

:d
you keep adding more buttons... when can notes have just abit more vertical height...

[restive cairn]

wait, i thought you could resize them

anyway, sooner or later sorry

i try to not disappoint, but it's just that graphic design isn't my passion

[storm thistle]

Sounds like we need more buttons

Gotta make our keyboards blush with the amount of buttons on screen

[warped oak]

Yay!

[somber rune]

will I be able to store my monster hunter crossover monsters?

[static cloak]

I have maybe a stupid question lol - for nacadex, how can I upload these guys to fill the dex when they're too young to do connect battles?

[unique cedar]

they are considered scan when you upload a child/rookie stage from that version. also applies to devices where you CAN scan baby ii/in training.

[static cloak]

ooh, okay, will give that a go when I get there. Thank you!

[summer mirage]

It might be a bit bugged right now though. One of my last scans was patamon and I'm missing tokomon and pokomon on my dex

[restive cairn]

Yeah, I changed the dex upload logic and forgot to re enable those

[static cloak]

can confirm same for me, uploaded Gabumon on my other device today

[restive cairn]

will fix in a bit

[summer mirage]

there is no hurry as you can upload later those childs from copymon and will get the babies once is fixed

[static cloak]

oh yeah not worried about it either, just noting it!

no copymon on dmc but not like it takes long to get anything to child form

[summer mirage]

DMC hasnt copymon?

[restive cairn]

only dm20 and pen20

[summer mirage]

mmmm joggres directly.. cool

so there is no tag battle there

[restive cairn]

only dm20 and pen20

[unique cedar]

ver.20 only has two digimon at once at any point

[restive cairn]

yeah

[summer mirage]

ok so colors is only one digimon but has freezer... i thought they were more similar to DM20

[unique cedar]

no they're more similar to dm and pen than dm20 and pen20

[static cloak]

they're kinda like an OG but with a bit extra like freezer

roster a lot smaller too. but I like them still

will be satisfying to fill this

[restive cairn]

i'm working myself through the pencycle roster rn

[summer mirage]

fix the upload button and i will try to fill many blanks in my dex xd

[restive cairn]

fixed, updating now

done

try again

[summer mirage]

fixed!

[crystal python]

awesome tool! If i understand right, the japanese 20th wont connect right?

[restive cairn]

It should work

[crystal python]

when i try with my Alphamon 20th, i get this:

[restive cairn]

ohh the japamese characters

one sec

[restive cairn]

are you using ver revival upload?

[crystal python]

I'll give that a shot later when I get back from work to try the revival instead

[crystal python]

Hey that image you shared with your digimon, what is that?

[warped oak]

Digimon World DS Farm

[summer mirage]

you shoud edit the mesh to avoid riverwalking etc

[crystal python]

How did you get your Digimon there?

[summer mirage]

https://battle.nacatech.es/ns/

just store them in naca, and then choose who you want to place in the farm

[unique cedar]

note only animated digimon will appear there.

[summer mirage]

little by little

[unique cedar]

brick by brick. we will get there. 🙏

[restive cairn]

sql query by sql query, don't worry

[crystal python]

Oof had an issue with my discord and naca linking and it deleted everything. Thankfully I barely started logging

[restive cairn]

Oh wait

Those were the discord issues I was seeing

Let me see, what was happening?

I can relink your account again

[crystal python]

Yeah? What do you need from me?

[restive cairn]

I assume you were migrating from an old account? Or changed your discord username

[restive cairn]

@crystal python is it the first one?

or the second one

ohh i see the issue here

i swear, firefox, the day you don't crash loading a table in SQL, it'll be a day to celebrate

aight, fixed it for ya, try logging in now

you should log out first, if the site is broken after this, clear cookies

[crystal python]

Got it! Thanks

[surreal saffron]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @restive cairn (current: #13 - 121)

[crystal python]

Shoutmon X3 seems bugged, at least there's no color

[unique cedar]

placeholder image, no bug, but color sprites would be cool to know of if you know anywhere someone has em that naca would be permitted to use

[crystal python]

I stand corrected! alright i'll look around and see

[restive cairn]

AI you are dumb

[unique cedar]

congrats on coming out as belgian

[restive cairn]

Well imma be offline for a few days, don't have my laptop on me, so don't break NacaBattle please

[somber rune]

using firefox with nacahelper. Nacahelper says it is ready, but I am not able to upload my zephagamon to nacastorage. Do I hook it up with pendulum battle or digimon battle? neither seem to work

stuck at this part on both firefox (with nacahelper) and with Edge

[unique cedar]

You use Pendulum because it is your device's native format.
If your device isn't blinking (I assume an Arduino based com) TX & RX (POW & L remain solid), you'll wanna check your cable.

[somber rune]

I am using the D com Bazjo made if that matters

I have a USB C to USB C cable. Does nacastorage work with phone?

What happens when I try with phone

oh I think I need nacahelper

oh helper did not make it see it

[unique cedar]

you'll have to check if your cable has a data line (could be as simple as trying to plug it into another computer), which would enable your phone to connect to your com.

[somber rune]

I have a usb to usb C cable

or C to C cable

but my PC has no C port

I can have my pets fight stuff using the alpha serial

but no combination of my stuff is working on the upload

[unique cedar]

i have any idea on where to begin for that then.. might be a browser issue. you did mention using firefox earlier and firefox is known not to support webserial.. though iirc nacahelper has some workaround for that, uncertain about how it works on android.. since all i see is the "in the case of android" message.

[somber rune]

I have nacahelper

I think I fixed it. But is the website down now?

[restive cairn]

OH WAIT THAT'S NEW

WAT

WHEN

WHICH BROWSER

TELL ME NOW

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[somber rune]

My phone

But it turns out I forgot to install nacahelper on my phone

That was chrome and Firefox on mobile

[restive cairn]

HOLY SHIT ANDROID DOESN'T NEED NACAHELPER ANYMORE

i cannot believe it

i'm going to throw a party

we got native web serial api on android

[somber rune]

Hmm weird

[restive cairn]

oh hmmm

it doesn't detect my wificom either

tho this is new, google chrome in android just got web serial support

but do i have to tell it the uid of the device to use?

i'll have to learn more but this is very good

enough excitements

what happens when you open nacahelper?

[somber rune]

I was able to upload 1 digimon on firefox

[restive cairn]

Oh I see, also ignore the Acom/dcom option

Also sorry I'm going to sleep now, it's 3:42

[somber rune]

Good night! You rock btw

[deep juniper]

question when uploading to storage from PenOG do i use battle or JOgress option i have 1 from the OG up but i cant seem to get any other digi uploaded. it battles and jogress just fine im just not sure whats the correct operation for OG to Dex

[restive cairn]

Battle option

Hmm will check in a bit

Sorry it's just that I've spent the past day learning blender, so I haven't been paying attention to anything else

[wild basin]

@restive cairn the “unlock lakeside background” code for PenC doesn’t work. I think it’s a MEm code because I didn’t get any background from it

All the others work correctly

[restive cairn]

noted

gonna fix in a bit

[restive cairn]

fixed now

[deep juniper]

are the rom read out suppose to be showing

its working tho just didnt know if this was new feature

[restive cairn]

They always show, tho never this long

[deep juniper]

it could be that i was using a punching bag 20+ times

[restive cairn]

Maybe

[restive cairn]

gah it's missing the hackmon line in the sprites

fuck

[summer mirage]

Ok xd I will take a look into it later

[restive cairn]

some days i feel productive
others i don't feel like doing anything
today was one of those days where i make a thing that probably no one will use

but in the long run will come useful, since i'm actually learning how to use a proper web framework

also yeah, the windows drag around...

i could be finishing my zorori 3d model, hell, i could be learning reverse engineering, or fixing code

but here i am, procrastinating

tomorrow will be productive since i have to finish two things for another job and continue something completely different in astro

but idk, this has inspired me

also, oh yeah this will be getting released, once i change nacabattle's UI

i've said in another place that my current UI ways suck, wrote everything from scratch, barely holds states, and now i'm trying to localize the UI and add a light theme, and it's basically impossible

in the coming university semester i'll be redoing the whole UI in react

been liking it, reminds me of jetpack compose

not releasing this thing yet, since it does put a lot of strain in the server the way i render the digimon on screen, basically making it feel like a DDoS

you know what'd be cool? a little iframe with the farm on the corner

[wild basin]

I love that

[restive cairn]

i remember a few years ago thinking react was difficult

turns out all i was missing was some android development experience, since they are similar

and this will be the progress in one day, i'm amazed

[deep juniper]

This is Ultimate

[wild basin]

Random EXEs. The pinnacle of early 2000’s viruses

[restive cairn]

in the end i made it look like a CIFS explorer thing with the \\

will probably port nacabattle next to it and fix a few cache things, add wificom and nacahelper support, and publish it

[inner oxide]

@restive cairn has leveled up! (100 ➜ 101)

[restive cairn]

it's very complete

[deep juniper]

for your server are you running on prem or cloud

[restive cairn]

cloud

electricity at home isn't that good to run on prem

i did run on prem for a while too

[strong heart]

I'm honestly not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong, but for some reason it takes ages to upload to nacastorage and usually just doesnt work
I've tried both chrome and Firefox+nacahelper, tried different cords and ports but no luck
I am using a bazjo com though so IDK if that causes any issues
I tried to upload a dmx mon yesterday for a few hours but no luck

Anything i could try to do to troubleshoot?

[unique cedar]

it might be the physical distance between u and naca.. idk if america-spain is significantly shorter but hours surely is intolerable. none of what you have would suggest any reason for it to be something in your control that would reasonably cause that..

only troubleshooting i could possibly suggest is doing a simple ping to nacabattle on a command line.
all i think you'd want to see the response time by entering in a command prompt window: ping https://battle.nacatech.es but i could be wrong a bit on what to enter.

[restive cairn]

If you ever wonder if your device is working as intended, go to inspect element and click on console

You will get a console like the one in NacaSerial but you can see if the data is being sent from the dcom to the browser

[strong heart]

ahh ok defs looks like something is wrong
it worked 3 times on separate occasions but its not anymore

ill try disablings ome adblockers and stuff

[unique cedar]

quick give her one million american ads tech-journalism style.

[strong heart]

ok that did nothing
ill mess around in private windows and stuff a bit more and see if any of that helps
update: it did not 😔 ill try again some other time

i just assumed it might be a plugin getting in the way but porlly not in this case

oh a code popped up. but no digimon in there

[restive cairn]

that's nacahelper, it's trying to find it but it can't

[restive cairn]

your device is failing

[strong heart]

damn 😔

[restive cairn]

not as in it's broken

but for some reason it's failing sending the digirom

which dmx is this?

[strong heart]

yeah i can still use the bazjo com to battle with alphaserial and stuff

this ones the dmx1 a

altho i have trouble with all my digimon devices

so i only relaly put effort into saving my fave mons lmao

its just been worse recently

[restive cairn]

can you go to nacaserial?

to the serial console

[strong heart]

yep

[restive cairn]

perfect, connect acom and send any dmx code

[strong heart]

hm its straight up not letting me select the acom/dcom option
nacahelper is up and running though

[restive cairn]

oh shit i forgot you were behind nacahelper

[strong heart]

ill use chrome

hold on

[restive cairn]

but it's weird

it's sending a code

and your device is picking it up

but maybe your dcom is failing?

can you check if your dmx prongs are sunken in?

[strong heart]

send was successful, my dmx is battling that code rn

[restive cairn]

try uploading now to nacastorage

[strong heart]

Doesn't seem particularly sunken

[restive cairn]

definitely look good

[strong heart]

error-ed out while trying to send to nacastorage again on the digimon

[restive cairn]

that's concerning... hmmm

[strong heart]

console thingo from chrome

[restive cairn]

same place too

[strong heart]

strange,,,

[restive cairn]

give me one sec, gonna patch the digirom

actually no, i can't patch it since it's correct

trying to think of something rn

[strong heart]

might be a bazjo com issue?

[restive cairn]

no idea, do you have any other dmx to try on?

[strong heart]

yep ill try an x2

hold on

ok wow even before i had a chance to connect the error message popped up
i refreshed the site before trying a diff connection

[restive cairn]

that's normal

that's nacabattle trying to connect to nacahelper

[strong heart]

ahhh alright

[restive cairn]

it's just that i didn't handle the error particularly well

shouldn't impact

[strong heart]

looksl ike it went through but no digimon is showing up

interesting

[restive cairn]

stuck in the same place

[strong heart]

seems like this guy was also having issues with the bazjo com

ill try my homemade acom,, if that thing still works anymore

andif i can find it actually

[restive cairn]

it is definitely an interesting error

tho now you left me in doubt

gonna test my dmx

dmx b in this case

[strong heart]

if its any consolation i also had issues uploading a mon from the mini v3 lmaoo

[restive cairn]

something is definitely out of whack with your dcom

btw

does your dcom support color devices?

[strong heart]

looks like my shoddy homemade one isnt wokring either

[restive cairn]

iirc pre color devices firmware did have a bit of a timing issue

[strong heart]

bazjo - yes
homemade - no

[restive cairn]

wait what

why is your DMX sending F807

that cannot be possible

it has to end in E

hmmm

change your batteries

it might not be the dcom after all, but the device

[strong heart]

i used a different battery for my x2, but ill try swapping to another one

weirddd

does that mean all my devices are somehow jsut really messed up 😭

[restive cairn]

or your battery sources

[strong heart]

the battery in my purple dmx is a factory battery from bandai

but maybe
illl try getting some non kmart batteries next time

[restive cairn]

the difference between the codes in nacaserial vs the codes in nacastorage is that one initiates while the other doesn't

maybe when it initiates it has no issues but non initiating has issues

[strong heart]

different battery, still no mon

f807 again

this guy i was able to upload to nacastorage which is the weird thing, its my ultimate brachiomon from a while ago

ive kept him on my x2 since bcos hes one of my faves

[restive cairn]

try bringing this to blade in 0nl1ne

[strong heart]

will do

[restive cairn]

should know more about this

[strong heart]

thanks for all the help 🫡

ill get aroudn to asking her in a bit

[restive cairn]

no worries

do mention me if you need something when you talk to her

maybe i could pop in to explain

[strong heart]

thanks!!

[restive cairn]

and also say that non initiating digiroms don't work, while initiating digiroms do work

[restive cairn]

Oh I saw in help, you were doing other battle, try with your DIY acom on x battle

@strong heart

[strong heart]

yep

jsut did

funnily enough the lsat few times i did that it didnt work

so i assumed it was meant to be other battle

this time i try with X battle

it works

i am so sorry for wasting everyones time LMAOO im gonna guess that the last few times it didnt work mustve been unlucky flukes or something

thank you for the help anyway 😭

yayy :))))

[restive cairn]

No worries lol

[uncut salmon]

How does the library feature work Naca?
I uploaded these just now and only Gomamon had his previous evos added to the library.

Also his baby 1 & 2 show up on the farm.

[restive cairn]

nacastorage tries to figure out the previous evo if there is a single evo path to reach that digimon

if there is not, it will refuse

due to how vpets send data, you have to upload each stage when your digimon evolves

[uncut salmon]

ahh, okay. So I have to keep updating it then.

[restive cairn]

yep

[uncut salmon]

TY for such a cool tool btw

[restive cairn]

np

[summer mirage]

gomamon got his sprites splitted? patamon has the new one also on the vpet

[restive cairn]

right now i don't remember who i assigned which sprite to who

i'm tired boss

[summer mirage]

beer pause is needed

[restive cairn]

and i'm also trying to upgrade nacaupdater to make it more stable, but the arduino just hates me

[uncut salmon]

So I've been playing around most of the afternoon with this and I noticed in storage if you make a folder and move digimon into it, then move them out and delete the folder it deletes their previous evos from their data.

The digimon itself is fine, but they have not other sprites in their history anymore.

Neat trick to clean up lines though for the farm.

It doesn't seem to effect anything else though, so library is okay.

[restive cairn]

that shouldn't happen

oh well, i'll get on fixing stuff once i'm in my downtime

[uncut salmon]

Furthur update for you Naca. Upon hitting the plus button on their respective profile to add the next evo. The Digimon updates its sprite and name, but doesn't add the old for the the history. This was Gomamon yesterday who I did the folder glitch on, and since updating him to Rukamon there is no history of him ever being Gomamon.

Library works as normal

And it seems I can't link Whamon to Rukamon, not sure if this is for all jogresses or not.

which is strange as it worked for Mitamamon keeping their history of Hououmon

Whamon uploaded normally, as a separate entry just fine though.

[inner oxide]

@uncut salmon has leveled up! (29 ➜ 30)

[restive cairn]

Oh you are supposed to stack the bigger ones on top

So like, you first put gomamon, then rukamon

Unless I'm misreading something

[uncut salmon]

So I added Gomamon, but did the folder glitch where his history got deleted. Then the change to Rukamon worked, but didn't show he was Gomamon before. Then I tried to upload Whamon as his next evolution and it kept giving me the "Line compatibility" Error.

I don't know if it is related to the glitch or not, but for some reason it just won't accept Whamon being the next stage for Rukamon.

[restive cairn]

Probably, I'll have to check those bugs

I'll check them later this evening, have to work this afternoon

[uncut salmon]

Sorry to give you more work to do. I enjoy finding bugs.

[wild basin]

Username checks out

[restive cairn]

i have to rework nacabattle ui from scratch

so any bug report in general are appreciated

since i'll also have to rework the backed to adapt to the new UI

[uncut salmon]

Any plans to let you battle with Digimon you've got in storage?

[unique cedar]

yes! he has been working on that!

[restive cairn]

it partially works rn for the pen20, dmog, penog

but only through an API only accessible for a wificom

will open it up later on

[uncut salmon]

Naca, was playing around last night on the battle system. Seemed to get the opposite result on the DMC than what happened on the site.

For example, Monodramon beat Shellmon on Nacabattle. However on my DMC, Monodramon lost.

Not sure what happened. One of us was having ACOM trouble, so that might be it. Though I should let you know just the same.

[restive cairn]

due to how acoms work, the battle system is a bit different

the opponent does not have to have the expected opponent result

so in acom battles it usually goes like this
you battle a code, and the result gets added to your score (you win, increase one, lose, stays the same)
then you send your code to your opponent, if the code the opponent battled was the expected result, it'd make battles drag for longer, so we spice things up by letting the opponent device choose if it wants to win or lose
so your opponent battles, if it wins, your opponent adds 1 to their score, otherwise it stays the same

yeah, due to how acoms don't allow for real time communication, it's like that

[uncut salmon]

TY for clearing that up. We were both confused.

[restive cairn]

yeah don't worry, it's weird but it's the reason why usually battles are until the best of 4, to make up for the technical limitation

[lone rover]

Sorry to bug you about this, but I'm having trouble using NacaUpdater

If I choose the usual USB (COM6) it says no acom was selected, but if I choose another one (COM1) it says it "failed obtaining Arduino's signature"

I'm assuming COM1 is just the wrong port and it think it's an acom, but I'm not sure why it won't take COM6

Was actually able to get it to start to detect COM6 after using it in NacaStorage for a sec (which does work), but then it says it failed to obtain the signature again

[summer mirage]

try from a different device/system.... i dont know why i cant from PC, only recognices it from android xd

[lone rover]

Doesn't work on android or laptop either

Tried different ports as well just to make sure, nothin

[lone rover]

For what it's worth, if I try to use NacaHelper I get this:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tkinter\__init__.py", line 2068, in __call__
  File "tkinter\__init__.py", line 862, in callit

[restive cairn]

Check if there is any other tab using the device

Or any other program

[lone rover]

I've done that unfortunately, even restarted my laptop and immediately tried it and the same thing happened

I also went ahead and reinstalled the drivers just to see and that didn't help

I was testing out other stuff and was able to flash to 0.4.2 with the old acom flasher android app just fine so it's strange

Also for clarity, if I try to use nacaupdater through android, it doesn't even detect a serial device at all

[lone rover]

... I'm over here trying to dig up info and saw that I asked you about this like 4 months ago on the 0nl1ne discord, I apologize

[restive cairn]

Nacaupdater doesn't always work for some reason

It's weird

For example in the dcoms it barely works sometimes, I've tried a few ways, even making my own interfacing library but it doesn't

I might have to move nacaupdater to an standalone desktop app

i'll see what i can do, for now my top priority is redoing the UI of NacaBattle in general, since i want to add new features and it's become very cumbersome as it is right now

will also fix a lot of graphical bugs

But right now I'm parked in Naca as I move efforts to my day job and VB helper

will go back soon once i finish this day job

[lone rover]

Hey no worries, do what you gotta do, I still appreciate the explanation. Thanks for working on all these projects in the first place, and I hope everything goes well for you at your job

[restive cairn]

I'm almost done, since it's a free lancing job as of now I get a lot of freedom too

[lone rover]

Nice, that's good to hear

[uncut salmon]

Any plans to have more backgrounds for mons Naca?
Love collecting them and theming the background for them and the device they come from.

[summer mirage]

Don't you have enough for themes?

There is quite a wide selection

[uncut salmon]

I'd love some swamp, ocean/coral, clouds/heaven or a nice factory.

[summer mirage]

I would prefer to have a couple more for the farm itself as default

[uncut salmon]

We also don't have a deep forest/jungle

I mean, you can import your own for the farm

[summer mirage]

(probably for when we could have more farms)

[summer mirage]

We could add those two to avoid my OCD/TOC calling on your photo xd

But all your suggestions are good. Maybe we can take some of the backgrounds from the D3. They should be light in size

[uncut salmon]

I've never heard anyone complaining about more options for customizing.

I just like things to look nice.

[restive cairn]

yee

but first i want to finish the new nacabattle ui

i really don't want to touch anymore the current ui code

[uncut salmon]

TY for all the work you do.

My biggest thing that put me off the Vpets for so long was that I couldn't collect them.

So your tool is perfect.

[unique cedar]

no

[kind flicker]

I'm interested in nacastorage since i got My first digivice right now where can I get a tutorial on how to use it ?

Do I need to build something like the vital hero thingy to be able to store My digimons?

[surreal saffron]

Actually, the plural of Digimon is Digimen.

[unique cedar]

what is an acom ugh tara.
#modern_vpets message
you'll need a digimon communicator of any flavor, IR communication not yet supported on the naca ecosystem except for borrowing codes to use in nacaserial.

[kind flicker]

Can You send me a link to where I can get it?

[scenic harbor]

#approved_communities message

[summer mirage]

I think he meant the DCom xd. Depending on your country some may be cheaper than others. Mostly because it's shipping. You can try making your ACom yourself, is a simplified DCom and not too hard. You can also buy one set. Just consider that iOS doesn't supports ACom/DCom (usb cable issues) and you would need a wificom (much more expensive) in that case

Consider what you need and we might better guide you

[uncut salmon]

Got a bug for you Naca.
When updating a digimon with it's next evo with the "+" symbol. It deletes the note you had attached to it.

[unique cedar]

the note is in the previous digimon's data

[uncut salmon]

Oh, I see.

Wouldn't have guessed that

[cerulean forum]

This may already be known, but some of the pictures and descriptions in nacadex don’t match the Digimon

[unique cedar]

digimon, device
or receive no fix.

[cerulean forum]

Dm20

Digimon x

[restive cairn]

I'll fix in a bit, I'm finally home

[cerulean forum]

Can we send our dm20 backups as copymon back to device? It’s gray on mine currently

[restive cairn]

It should be possible

Wdym it's gray

[unique cedar]

unfortunate design decision. that (dark) grey button is usable. the "Back" button in this image is an example of an unusable interface, next to a usable interface.

[restive cairn]

Oh that's normal color

Sorry I suck at UX

[restive cairn]

new serial console, just finished it

same features as the old one, need to add the command history feature again

but i'm leaving the small details till the end

[somber rune]

Any plans for godzilla and monster hunter to be added?

[restive cairn]

tbh, i don't even know myself

i don't think i'll add them

[somber rune]

darn

thank you for the confirmation though

[restive cairn]

redoing the nacastorage apis now, i have a question

should each stage have its own description

or should you have a single description per digimon

[summer mirage]

You mean when you have some of them fused?

Because otherwise usually each stage upload as different Digimon

[uncut salmon]

Put it in the wrong channel

[restive cairn]

Oh yes, I have to do a lot about sprites, just that I've been focusing on doing other stuff

I'll get back to sprites once I finish my day job tomorrow

[summer mirage]

i promise he will look better xd

[uncut salmon]

🙏 he gets better soon

[summer mirage]

(not the only one)

[uncut salmon]

wrong pic for ShinMonzaemon

and info

[restive cairn]

Will start fixing this afternoon all backlog of bugs

[placid geyser]

Just wanna say you're doing great with all this Naca! Thanks for all your hard work 🙂

[restive cairn]

thanks for using it, sorry i didn't do much as of late, got caught up with irl work and vb helper

plus redoing the whole frontend

[radiant relic]

What happens if I store an Angemon that I added in my pendulum natureSpirit by moding it ?

Will the storage see Angemon ?

Same question for NacaFarm 😄

[radiant relic]

I dont think you have any way to know that the pendulum was moded and to get the moded mon right ?

[unique cedar]

no
it will only appear as the corresponding digimon to the ID that was used from that version.

[radiant relic]

I'm sad but was expecting this

[radiant relic]

Thank you!

[surreal saffron]

Gave +1 Digi-rep to @unique cedar (current: #3 - 481)

[fervent ether]

No vb connectivity as of yet, right?

I only have the 25th vpet and some VBs so just looking into it 😅😂

[unique cedar]

vb connectivity is not the aim of this project from what i've heard when i asked in naca's server

[fervent ether]

Very valid, since vbhelper is it's own thing

I just wanna use all the things haha

[restive cairn]

yah, maybe in the future i'll reconsider

but right now i'm essentially testing the waters

[fervent ether]

You've also got so many projects going 😅 if it's in the cards we can def wait!

[restive cairn]

also gonna be doing now some db stuff, for real this time

adding a new device

and also first of it, since it's a fan made device

say hello to DMK integration with nacastorage

[restive cairn]

gonna try and port today the battle preview thing that appears when battling to the new site

yesterday i was doing databases, i have the entire database left to push, gonna do a few more modifications this afternoon and see if i can push it later today

[restive cairn]

that was surprisingly easier than i expected

[still sierra]

I was wondering,will the Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary Digital Monster be added (to the game) in the future?

[restive cairn]

in the future i might reconsider

tho only if i get matchinfg 16x16 sprites, i don't want to use the 48x48 sprites to avoid using IP

[restive cairn]

now i can do cool stuff like this

this will also apply to jogresses and such, now you don't have to leave to another page akwardly

[summer mirage]

can we finally upload without going back continuously?

[restive cairn]

yes

i save states

which allows it to do that

[summer mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-stitch-clapping-lilo-and-stitch-clap-gif-17875780

[unique cedar]

awesome idea

[crystal python]

getting this error when trying to log in with my discord

[restive cairn]

Oh crap

I'll fix that in a bit once I get home

Sorry I was testing stuff for the new NacaBattle

[restive cairn]

@crystal python fixed

[crystal python]

No worries!

[twin zealot]

Niceee

[restive cairn]

need to finish the stupid battle preview thingy again with the react components, will finish it tomorrow

or during class

idk

i started getting acustomed to working on nacabattle while on class

[fair pumice]

practices are practices

[uncut salmon]

This looks a lot more like Grandis than Gran.

Especially to the official sprite

This one is Grandis for reference.

[restive cairn]

my bad, gonna correct it later

all these changes right now are going to a local database i'll publish soon

sorry for the wait

[restive cairn]

i like this more already

site is in spanglish since i have to do strings translation

oh btw, i didn't say this, but the new site is an SPA

which means you are going to see the site going fast

and with fast i mean, there is no delay between pages

since it's all one single page

another benefit, which i have to test, maybe for future release, is that i can load the ACom/WiFiCom once and just keep using it over and over without having to ask you again

[unique cedar]

soon it will be instant

[uncut salmon]

When is the NacaStorage brain chip?

[restive cairn]

if you wanna make it, go ahead

i'll provide api docs

[fair pumice]

upload yourself? la the tv show?

[fervent ether]

I'll take one too

[uncut salmon]

IS the site down?

[restive cairn]

Shouldn't be

Let me check

I've been having issues with my server provider yesterday

[uncut salmon]

seems to be working now

[uncut salmon]

Maybe adding a % to the right side of the bar would be a neat idea.

Or change ones you've got 100% on.
Give them a border or change the color.

[warped oak]

How do I fix the farm looking like this?

[fair pumice]

Naca farm/setting, change scale

[warped oak]

Thanks

[warped oak]

I've been trying to change it a couple times but it keeps resetting to a random folder, then no digimon spawn on the farm, not even the ones in the folder, and the page becomes fully unresponsive

[fair pumice]

this digis are not in the folder

[warped oak]

I'm trying to change it to root, but it swaps back to it constantly. That's what I'm saying.

[restive cairn]

that doesn't impact anything

even if it switches back, the settings are saved

[warped oak]

Ah alright

Are there default backgrounds and masks anywhere?

I'm trying to reset it since mine is sorta messed up

[restive cairn]

if you want to reset it, go to about and click on "click here to delete settings..."

[warped oak]

Thank you!

[warped oak]

Is there a way to add things to the evo tree retroactively? Or put Jogress stuff in there?

[restive cairn]

I've been thinking about how to portray jogresses

I might reconsider it with the new site, which does have more control over the acom when doing jogresses

[warped oak]

Ah

Would you consider a feature to manually add things?

I've got plenty of digimon where I just forgot to upload the earlier line or click the + instead of hitting regular upload

so now the lines don't display

[restive cairn]

I'll see, for example what would you mean?

[restive cairn]

Ohh I see

[warped oak]

Would love to be able to go back and just input his Pteromon evolution history

[restive cairn]

I'll have to see how to do it, since I don't keep track of the evo tree

[warped oak]

🫡

[warped oak]

Is there a way to remove duplicates from the farm? After I add the next stages with the + function, the previous forms are still wandering around

[restive cairn]

Next version of NacaBattle already gets rid of that by default, I'm finishing the new version soon

Currently running tests in it

[warped oak]

Nice! Thank you!

[uncut salmon]

Naca, pls tell me when the site updates all my progress will carry over.

[restive cairn]

yes it will

if you want to test the new site as it is go to https://test.nacatech.es

keep in mind everything is... broken

somewhat

it's not also up to date, since it's running off of a database in my home, which is behind a few months already

also keep in mind it's in spanglish

also keep in mind that all the changes done in the test environment won't move across

and also that light theme is not working

also that login with nacaauth is not working either, forgot to tell nacaauth that the test environment can access login

[restive cairn]

also the API docs are here https://test.nacatech.es/apidocs

forgot to mention that

[uncut salmon]

Is the site closed Naca?

[summer mirage]

@restive cairn

[twin basalt]

Can't access the site
