Game Night Series

[honest tinsel]

I doubt photos would do it justice, I can try to make some pixel art sort of

Also, just realized the chatGPT cut off some cards - so I'm doing a print out test to compare

Gym Challenge: 132 Files
Gym Heroes: 132
Jungle: 64
Fossil: 62
Rocket: 83
Base2: 130
Base: 102

~~set: Base (total = 102) ~~
set: Jungle (total = 64)
set: Fossil (total = 57) + 5
set: Rocket (total = 81) +2
set: Base 2 (total = 130)
set: Gym Challenge (total = 84)
set: Gym Heroes (total = 133)

Gym Challenge some how manages to be a pain in the ass

Rocket dropped 2 cards with no pattern, found them - fossil was missing all it's trainers lol

Heroes had a blaine trainer in the list that wasn't meant to be there

Now to figure out what the hell happened to 48 cards in challenge lol

[honest tinsel]

Fixed the cards

Going to bed

[honest tinsel]

@cinder tide The glass beads look like a pita to both make and use apparently

Looks like they switched to chips, and dice?

[honest tinsel]

What did the original series use for poison and burned markers?

Can't seem to find clear information - seems like nothing

[cinder tide]

yeah iirc there wasnt any, you just remembered what the counter corresponded to, the cards didnt have crazy high value hp or attack so the numbers were never really high

[honest tinsel]

I'ma just add dice and counters

working on card issues

turns out deck sets used cards from across sets

[honest tinsel]

I think those should be fixed

Haven't had a chance to set up dice art yet, I'm thinking a D10 with increments of 10

I added the status coin art, and script but haven't added it to the distribution cause I ran into the other issue

I was hoping to push this out earlier this week and just wait for tonight or tomorrow 😅, but guess it's crunch for today.

[honest tinsel]

Added damage dice, status coins, and such

damage dice and status coins only show up for found decks

should avoid having every starter set having markers and status coins

@cinder tide Am I missing anything?

[cinder tide]

I don’t think so

[honest tinsel]

I was going to do a d10, but the square is more satisfying

[cinder tide]

Yeah that’s dope

Great job

I hope people start making more addons

[honest tinsel]

I think it's ready

@here Drop on by #supportive-saturday and punch this thing onto the front page.

[honest tinsel]

Do you guys think this is worth doing? I can batch it so its just a matter of waiting around:
@cinder tide @short yew

It's a new photoshop AI filter to remove artifacts - cleans up images basically

It does lose some of the watercolor details though for example

Make it look more airbrushed

[cinder tide]

its up to you

heh

[honest tinsel]

Yeah, I saw. Much funny millennial humor.

I might take shots at using AI to replace faces lol

[heavy crescent]

can you use the filter selectively on certain areas? i think the text clarity is a great improvement but the smoothing dulls the colours and might be worth trying out another denoising filter for

[short yew]

AI upscaling always feels a little soulless to me

The print dots make it feel a lot closer to how they look irl

Just catching up on the project. Looking really good! Like the similar but definitely different name 😆

[honest tinsel]

I think it should be safe from scrapers

[honest tinsel]

The problem is the cards are not 1:1 in terms of placement - a few pixels here or there

[polar vessel]

i agree w/ this point--i'd keep it tbh. cards look a lil funky irl if you look too close--i doubt anyone is upset about how they may look ig

[honest tinsel]

I guess I was the only person lol

I wonder if this person would be less unhinged lol.

I think he already made the cards too.

[cinder tide]

what a chad lol

[honest tinsel]

MTG got fully removed lol

[short yew]

Yeah didn't see it on my list of workshop items. Thought you removed it lol

[honest tinsel]

Nah, it was just hidden for a bit - then I saw it was just missing.

[honest tinsel]

@short yew @cinder tide @strong eagle I may just pre-emptively change the cards to Spiffos or Paws animals. Just to get away from all this copyright nonsense.

Not going into detail, but stalkers going to stalk.

Do you guys know a decent AI art generator for something like this?

[strong eagle]

Ugh, sorry if you're getting uncomfortable attention.

I have a workflow to generate a handful of ideas at a time using the Copilot mobile app (more options & quicker access than desktop) if you want to brute force it, but I'd be happy to generate some images locally on my computer if you had a specific theme or style you wanted to focus on

[honest tinsel]

Ideally but probably unrealistic would be Spiffofied Pokemon

I think slightly off Pokemon ala Palworld would be meh overall

That being said, I wouldn't go full tilt into a project unless it does get pulled

[strong eagle]

I gotcha-- it would be relatively easy to find a SD model that handled pokemon style creatures. After getting a few of them "right" and "spiffofied", it could be neat to create a LoRA model, (or check out this InstantID I've heard so much about) and simplify the process for making more.

Either way, give a shout if you had any ideas you wanted me to try to generate as templates

[honest tinsel]

I'm honestly out of my element on this front

I can draw up some examples, but basically take like a chamanders body and pop a Spiffo on it

Or like make a lizard in the style of Spiffo with a flaming tail

Which ever won't be a week or two of work lol

Then again, if you do feel motivated I wouldn't mind paying

[strong eagle]

Spitballing; something that evokes the nostalgia of 1993 pokemon, legally distinct yet correlatable enough that an informed fan would recognize it as a love letter to pokemon, but maybe applies a touch of the "spiffo cute-humor"?

[honest tinsel]

Yeah

Could even borrow the idea of the Pokemon

I think they have descriptors like "the XYZ Pokemon"

[strong eagle]

Yeah, if someone's able to copyright the concept of "electric rat", I'll eat my hat or something.

[cinder tide]

Spiffomon

[honest tinsel]

Could even just be Spiffo tbh

Rather than an abomination of Spiffo being a Lizard

The starters could literally be the professions

Firefighter Spiffo

Etc

[strong eagle]

That works really well with the current Spiffo theme-- the steam cards were what came to mind when I referenced "spiffo cute-humor"

(just imagine they're all filled in)

[honest tinsel]

Yeah, there's a Spiffo cards mod too

The author never replied to inclusion

He mentioned wanting to make them playable.

I could write up some prompts for each of the cards

Colorless = Unemployed lol

[cinder tide]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM9nAxv9nd8

[honest tinsel]

Basically

Would be nice to not have weirdos using copyright protection to attack

[honest tinsel]

@strong eagle @cinder tide @short yew

https://tenor.com/view/really-oh-seriously-not-bad-christian-bale-are-you-sure-gif-20212458

That first one is rough

Kind of prefer a1, b2, a3

had to rewrite the prompts to help the AI along

[strong eagle]

Geez, you catch on QUICK.

[honest tinsel]

The first ones I got yesterday were way rougher lol

Chatgpt is helping me rewrite them lol

[short yew]

Whoa very nice looking. Are you using Stable Diffusion?

[honest tinsel]

Yessr

I made art for MoM

They came out pretty nice

Wish there was a way to show online using github, but you can resync your github to download them

This was an accident, for living wall, but I liked it lol

Doesn't make sense to be a relic but oh well lol

[strong eagle]

Sometimes you gotta go with the Rule of Cool.

[honest tinsel]

Maybe it's a relic like a core that gathers meat

Self replicating and healing golem

[short yew]

Just thought of a cool use case for fully custom cards. A lot of RP servers use a dice / turnbase systems for PVP because of desync issues with actual in-game combat

MoM cards with custom combat text could be an in game alternative to PVP

[honest tinsel]

Like use a deck to determine outcomes?

[short yew]

Yeah, like as a way for players to "fight" outside of real time

It would require game design work for sure, but a lot of board games already have combat card systems

Still a ton of work to do though lol

[honest tinsel]

Could be its own mod, a few combat roleplay mods exist I believe

They have rolls for different stats

[honest tinsel]

On a different front, I've been thinking of a workaround for desync

Basically paging the server to move an item, and then the server sends back a command to let the client move an item.

Right now the client is setting the cooldown and movement

Which doesn't really fix anything

[livid oasis]

Excuse my ignorance, I just found out about the existence of this mod. I wanted to know if it already has the Pokémon battle board. Or do you have to add it from somewhere else. And the issue of playing cards appearing as loot in the world and zombies? Or can they only be obtained with the admin? I'm confused😅

[honest tinsel]

The items can only be found in appropriate locations. I also wrote it in such a way to not flood loot tables (like the other card mods do).

Stores, bedrooms, schools, etc.

It doesn't come with a battle board.

[livid oasis]

ouch. without board. well... is there any guide I can use to add a board? Or do you simply edit the original lua, maybe I haven't looked at it yet, it works using image URLs, right?

[honest tinsel]

It uses files, PZ can't support image Urls

And I didn't think the board was needed

There's a Gameplay UI to view pieces/cards on the tile/square

[livid oasis]

but it is possible to change. Like, for example, the chess board with the image of a Pokémon battle board?

I mean this..

[livid oasis]

And if it is more beautiful than just the cards suspended in the air😆

[honest tinsel]

Yes it can be done

[livid oasis]

Ty

[livid oasis]

functional😅

[honest tinsel]

😮

I designed the framework to be easy to add onto

If you know how to make a PR on GitHub you could contribute to the mod officially 🙂

[livid oasis]

in encounter to change the scaling factor. The image looks very blurry. and it's a disconcerting 900x900?

model MonopolyBoard {
mesh = WorldItems/CheckerBoard, texture = Item_InPlayTextures/MonopolyBoard, scale = 1.00,

That will be the line for the scale factor?

[livid oasis]

If it wouldn't be a problem, let me solve the scale factor first so the image doesn't look blurry.

[livid oasis]

Could you give me the GitHub link? Is there any example to add and modify?

[honest tinsel]

In the Lua file there's something to force the size, but the blurriness comes from the vanilla setting for max texture size.

Also: https://github.com/ssjshields/game-night-Pokemon

[livid oasis]

ok

[honest tinsel]

The setting can be found in the menu, to may need to restart your game. I forget the exact name of the setting, something like "max texture size".

[honest tinsel]

Not getting good enough pokemon out of the AI stuff

Might try out Spiffo cards instead

[strong eagle]

?? / 151 didn't turn out well?

Any similarities in the characters that didn't translate well?

[honest tinsel]

A few came out alright

I just didn't have time to keep rerunning it and pulling out good ones

The Spiffos took 2-3 runs, and they need some heavy editing

But there's only 22

[strong eagle]

only 22
What are you using as references?

[honest tinsel]

For Spiffo? I'm using the yiffy+landscapes+objects checkpoint + Spiffo and painting loras

The prompts I have in a Google sheets, and I edit them as needed for adjustments if I see something is just not clicking

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tLc8kMV6QAuHk1Y_8XEXvhOxvUVjRfTiWcEiP_WOgmw/edit?usp=drivesdk

1 sheet is Pokemon the other Spiffo

[strong eagle]

Oh, you mean you've only completed 22

[honest tinsel]

The Pokemon doesn't use yiffy is uses anyotherLora check point

There's 22 professions

[strong eagle]

That's what I was getting at, I gotcha

[honest tinsel]

I might make Spiffo trading cards in the meantime

And rerun Pokemon/spot check for quality when I have more time

[strong eagle]

Looking at the google doc, I like the idea of expanding to traits as well

[honest tinsel]

I'm finding it needs more details to work

The professions kind of work cause there's a stereotypical uniform. But traits probably need to be poses or implied stuff.

I'm at work, but if you wanna give it a shot 👍

I'm mostly happy with the profession ones, I stopped on the traits cause athletic was just a roided out Spiffo with nipples lol

[mossy stag]

To continue from #general
There were several 86 editions in good condition that were smiling at me on Ebay

... I have not yet given in but if there are gonna be major problems I might need to invest in a copy

[honest tinsel]

There's a few websites with scans of stuff

Also lately I've taken to using StableDiffusion to avoid potential DCMA shenanigans a certain stalker has threatened lol

[mossy stag]

Yeah I saw the MtG addon disappearing

[honest tinsel]

They also threatened to contact all the parent companies of game night add-ons lol

I'd be surprised if anyone cared enough - as long as trademarks are avoided.

[mossy stag]

Time to prepare "Wordster" for immediate workshop release IG

[honest tinsel]

As long as it's not the actual scrabble logo you should be fine

The rest of it can be considered transformative

I'm like 5% concerned anything will occur

[mossy stag]

If it does I'll mock up a legally distinct version

We'll see, until then business and fun as usual

[honest tinsel]

An example of stable diffusion

Man it's really fighting the col mustard

Not half bad

The Spiffo cards i've been working on have been by far worse lol

[cinder tide]

its funny it just still can't get away from the walking stick / teacher pose

[mossy stag]

Honestly stable diffusion is a pretty smart approach, the Spiffo I used for the scrabble addon was an official variation that I'm actually kinda unsure where it's from

[honest tinsel]

That is official actually

[mossy stag]

Ye I know it's official, just unsure where it was used

[honest tinsel]

I'll have to look into how the Lora profiles are made -I'm curious how many spiffos are actually in there

[honest tinsel]

Maybe tutorial?

[mossy stag]

Probably given the pose but doesn't matter much anyway

[honest tinsel]

Added scrabble to the test server and rebooted

[austere ore]

how does one join the test server? :)

[honest tinsel]

Pinned info.

[austere ore]

is there anyone who vcs sometimes?

[honest tinsel]

To play test not really - I'd only ping testers if I needed something checked.

Setting up a player-base out of this server would be a workload and a half

[austere ore]

dang! I want to play this with a group desperately 😭

[strong eagle]

The main Project Zomboid server has #looking_for_group and # server_recruitment, whether you wanted to find an existing group, or create your own server for game night sessions?

[austere ore]

I'll look into to, thank you!

[honest tinsel]

Dumping these here so I have a spot to grab them from.

[cinder tide]

Bro this is turning out great

What if TIS wanted to print these? Maybe too much wishful thinking

Terraria got cards

[honest tinsel]

It's not viable due to licensing I imagine

I'd need to double check exact licensing

But they could also have an artist redo the art

The design of the body is all I can kind of take credit for - but I'm not sure if it's fair use now that I edited it.

[strong eagle]

Dude, you’ve really taken off with this! So cool to see 😄

Great work, Chuck!

[honest tinsel]

Thanks!

[mossy stag]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3270594964

:)

[honest tinsel]

Nice job on the art! I think you're the first to use the template lol

[mossy stag]

Tbf I think I'm the first to also do games as well. 😄 I should go through my collection and think of games that'd be reasonably easy to implement

I'd kinda love something like Epic Spell Wars, that fits really well in the sort of 80s/90s sludge-y metal aesthetics but that's basically 200+ cards that I'd have to source

[cinder tide]

POGs, Pokemon and Cyberpunk DnD were the others so far afaik

[cinder tide]

the idea of Talisman has been kicked around

that was '85-93

[honest tinsel]

For the above mentioned projects I stepped in to help people along with the project

They sourced the scans

[mossy stag]

Ah, fair fair, I only saw your name and assumed you also did those

[honest tinsel]

It was during the earlier stages of the API - where a few key mechanics were missing.

Speaking of which, if the guide needs more fleshing out lmk

[bitter roost]

Have you tohught of doing a lore friendly names submod? If not I'd be happy making one 🙂 love the series so far either way

[mossy stag]

as well as Spiffo's Restaurants.
time to raid 'em all

[honest tinsel]

To which?

[bitter roost]

D&D, Cyberpunk, Uno and Catan

[strong eagle]

I think those are all "lore friendly" to begin with, with the exception of Catan which came out in '95.

But as a community, we love Spiffo-fied anything.

[bitter roost]

When I sasy lore friendly I don't mean in the sense that they don't fit the timeline, just in brand names being twisted / in-universe

NNN instead of CNN or FOX for example

And Spiffo, of course

[honest tinsel]

That would be a nice have

Just didn't seem feasible at the time

[strong eagle]

Ah, renaming it from "Dungeons and Dragons" > "Walkers & Wastelands", "Cyberpunk" > "Zombiepunk", etc?

Or creating artwork to accompany the mods, like Spiffo the Barbarian / Mage / Fighter / Rogue?

[honest tinsel]

I wouldn't want to make it zombie related tbf

[strong eagle]

I know that's a little on-the-nose, I just wasn't sure what sort of implementation they were suggesting and wanted to spitball an example.

Wasn't sure if they were suggesting to do overhauls of the other mods, similar to how you adapted MtG into MoM

[bitter roost]

Primarily for the first one but it wouldn't be to too hard to just swap out the names on most things I dont think

On character sheets and such

For the DnD twist I was thinking involving Ghouls or Vampires or something else that's sort of zed adjacent

(but like, not quite zombie ofc)

[strong eagle]

For the purpose of avoiding copyright infringement, or just to put a personal touch on the existing games?

[bitter roost]

Villains and Voodoo

[bitter roost]

Fuck copyright lol, that's Chuck's thing to worry about if they want to

I just have crippling ADHD and so if one brand is replaced with some fun in-universe alternative I want all of them to be 😅

[honest tinsel]

I mean porque no los dos

I wouldn't be against it, I just have bigger ducks in my row

The largest workload would probably have to be Pokemon atm, the others would be fairly simple to adjust.

Now that I know how to make batch/generation for Photoshop I can generate UNO cards quickly

I just need to come up with 1 design and swap out the words/numbers/colors

The D&D one also needs the most love, as I didn't even add minis

That might be a fun project @bitter roost if you wanted to make pixel art set pieces

Could also just be named something as generic as D&D

Knights and Dragons

[bitter roost]

Yeah! I have some other projects I want to get a move on first, but I'll take a look at it soon and let you know if I come up with any designs.

I'd be fine releasing this as a submod but if you want I'd also be fine with you just straight including it as an optional file in the main mod itself ^^

up to you

[honest tinsel]

I wouldn't mind incorporating it / changing the original

If you've ever used GitHub you can work in parallel with others

[bitter roost]

Yeah ofc, I run some other teams for other projects so I'm well acquainted 🙂

as long as I'm credited and all (which i'm sure it would be) then that sounds like the best scenario. A submod would just be obscure and I doubt a ton of people would go too far out of their way to search for lore friendly board games, so having it straight in the download is easiest for the consumer and will probably be seen by a lot more of them anyway 😅

[honest tinsel]

Indeed, thanks in advanced for any help. Also, would appreciate any advice in regards to the request section.

We've kind of spitballed things together and adjusted as needed. 😅

[bitter roost]

Sure! Where? 😅

I searched the readme and the Issues page on the Github but I might be dumb (I am)

[honest tinsel]

For requests? It's the section here in the server. It's the commissions and requests.

You mentioned you worked with others, but never did commission(s) so it would be interesting to get your POV.

[bitter roost]

Ooooh duh, sorry lol, thought you meant for Game Night specifically!

[mossy stag]

heh

I'm gonna implement Hive and call it "Squads!" or something like that

exact same rules but it's cold war themed

[mossy stag]

Going well, all things considered!

[honest tinsel]

Idk what this is, but it looks cool

[mossy stag]

It's basically a reskin for Hive, a sorta abstract chess-y kinda strategy about bugs

I went and looked at Vietnam photos and posterized/black-n-whited them to make my tokens

Worked surprisingly well

[honest tinsel]

Adding some QoL so the UI doesn't need the inventory window.

[short yew]

Very nice! Really streamlines everything. Might be time to update the guide in the mod so people know all the features

Getting the itch to make a board game again lol

[honest tinsel]

Excellent >:)

I might do a Game In a Game In a Day soon, as I'm off work

[short yew]

There were a few games were in the pipeline that's unfinished

But this SD stuff is also really, really interesting. I kinda want to explore it more and create a whole alternate universe of board games and stuff lol

[mossy stag]

I tried fucking around with ComfyUI and the recommend stuff for the LORA and all I get is Minor Nightmares

[honest tinsel]

With the Spiffo LoRA?

[mossy stag]

Yeah

I'm away from home so I cant show the results but I think its an issue with the checkpoint, all I get is very blobby looking images

[honest tinsel]

Currently tweaking the actions

Realized there was some issues with how items could get moved

Could explain the desync

If it doesn't work then I'll try the other idea of having the server give permission first.

[honest tinsel]

You need to go to the Military Spiffo and check the stuff it used. The Yiffy CheckPoint, and config files, etc.

[mossy stag]

I'll try again when Im back homr

[honest tinsel]

<@&1200064705109168258> I reworked the actions, and moved around where cooldowns are set, should be better for performance + avoid desync (maybe?)

If anyone wants to hop on to confirm.

Just so happens I just launched PZ to push an update-- might as well survive the apocalypse while enjoying my morning roast

[honest tinsel]

You'd need to unsub from game night 👍

[strong eagle]

Gotcha

Ahh, love that it's a collection on the Game Night page to quickly un/re sub to all of them ❤️

I assume I should stay unsubbed because you have a beta collection on the server?

[honest tinsel]

Only unsub from the base mod

I didn't feel like setting up a collection again - so I just used the same modID

[strong eagle]

Reloading the lua now, but wasn't sure what this was, if it matters in the slightest.

[cinder tide]

Mod got removed hmm

[honest tinsel]

I wonder what that mod is

[strong eagle]

Game Night Scrabble

[honest tinsel]

That mod is public though

[strong eagle]

🤷‍♂️

[honest tinsel]

weird

Speaking of which, @mossy stag You can give cards a different placement sound - so it sounds like tiles. Check Pogs.

Oh you know what... maybe that's not a feature

[strong eagle]

Ooooh, dragging a card/pog from the search window and placing it into the play section doesn't cause a UI rave anymore 👍

[honest tinsel]

Yeah I fixed that lol

[strong eagle]

Never actually seen it handled with another player live, kinda neat to see the cursor overlay

[honest tinsel]

I don't see your cursor

We got RJs imbound

[strong eagle]

Okay, let me check if this pog bug still exists, the top pog never flipped after a slam

[honest tinsel]

Try to flip the pieces I touch, let see if desync is better

[strong eagle]

Not sure if I'm helping flipping shit at random whever you mouse over it 😛 The timer delay seems to help prevent issues though

[honest tinsel]

Nah it desycn'd a pile

lmao

[strong eagle]

Died of neglect :\

[honest tinsel]

Oh thought the heli got you

[strong eagle]

Oh, very well may have been!

I think I was standing in a pile of blood because I had refused to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom for multiple in-game days at a time

I still see the game mat screen, and could move pogs

[honest tinsel]

All of the pog pieces just vanished one by one

Oh that's you then

Just so you are aware... someday I will be implementing Rage into Game Night... and there's nothing anyone can do to stop me. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2133/rage

I have ideas and rough implementations just never any time. 😂

[honest tinsel]

https://github.com/Chuckleberry-Finn/game-night/blob/main/README.md

Should help

Speaking of, let me write up that photoshop batch thing

[mossy stag]

Oh yeah will check that when I'm home

[honest tinsel]

Added a section on batching photoshop

I may have messed up the last section, but I'll have to test it and create an example folder later.

https://github.com/Chuckleberry-Finn/game-night/blob/main/BATCH-ART.md

While I'm glad I discovered that action issue, I think desync will still be a problem unless I make it server dictated.

What I hate is that the action still needs to be done on the client side to update he server ... So what I need to do is have clients send in requests to move it, and have the server basically determine who's moving it.

That should ideally prevent overlapping actions

But God it's awful lol

[strong eagle]

Makes you realize why people in specific tournaments lose their shit when the events start using the latest releases to help drive sales, instead of the GameCube version

Or the earlier street fighters or something that had better netcode

[honest tinsel]

Rebooted @strong eagle

Sorry for the delay, had to move my car

@mossy stag Also, just noticed:

I'd recommend making them smaller + only the top face 😅

[strong eagle]

No worries, I'm just finished up mastering a song & I'll be in

[honest tinsel]

I'll have to move it again in a bit

[honest tinsel]

If you don't have time and don't mind, add me as a contributor and I can upload it. 👍

Bonus points if you have a GitHub 😅

[strong eagle]

Actually, heading out for some errands, but I'll see if you're still testing when I get back 🙂

[honest tinsel]

I'm home all day

Except when I have to move my car 🥲

[long crescent]

You got to move your car that often? 👀 Any works going on and you can't / don't want to park your car elsewhere?

[long crescent]

Looking nice though!

[honest tinsel]

It's cleaning day 2 times a week in NYC. 😅

Depending on the spot I find, it's either 9:30-11, or 11:30-1. I had parked at a 930 spot, so I moved it to a 11:30 one, then moved it again around 10:30 to a 9:30 spot and waited in my car until 11.

[long crescent]

||Ah I see, you car's that trashy that you need to be in it and move it so it's not mistakenly cleaned up taken away.||
But yeah, so it's specific parking times on certain locations then I reckon, due to the cleaning. Explains a lot
Yes, hindsight, I acknowledge it's a mean bad joke and shouldn't necessarily be done. Apologies

[long crescent]

Does current Game-Night offer a possibility of "snapping"? Was thinking potentially some puzzles'd be interesting as well.
Though might need snapping feature to easily enjoy it with some harder images, so it's definitely clear "This piece doesn't fit there, mate"...

[elfin meteor]

I don't think it was that terribly mean... 🤣

I like banter, I don't think I could deal with this world if I wasn't able to laugh, especially at myself.

[honest tinsel]

Nope, never got around to that - I did add a lock feature for boards.

And no worries on the joke lol

[mossy stag]

Just got home, I'll open one and add you as a contributor to the workshop page

[strong eagle]

I feel like Chuck might be lying...

Nobody drives in NYC, because there's too much traffic.

[honest tinsel]

It's honestly not any different than any other city, until there's a lane closure or something

and I only have a car cause I work out of the city

Another reason to get a remote IT job...

[long crescent]

It's not China Hong-Kong where you only make progress when driving a motor-roller or motorcycle or smth!

[long crescent]

Good you're not in Berlin - lane closures are very common here 24/7, wherever you just need to pass.

[strong eagle]

I'm sure being the one of the most densely populated cities in North America sets it a part to a degree, but I was just using an old joke.

That's really neat that you live in the Big Apple, I've always wanted to visit!

[honest tinsel]

Fair enough, it's just the first thing people talk about lol

[strong eagle]

Oh fuck, I've become small-talk, the bane of my existence.

[elfin meteor]

If you know anyone that needs a good Infrastructure Engineer, send them my way... I'm having such shit luck finding work these days... worst possible timing to start running out of money (and have business partners that piss off clients). 😞

[honest tinsel]

If you're in the states try USJOBS lol

[elfin meteor]

I am in the states! Not far from you, actually. Over in Michigan. lol

It's just weird lately, because I used to have no less than 10 recruiters a day in my inbox on LinkedIn. Now I'm lucky if there is even one or two... most days it's crickets...

[honest tinsel]

There's alot of speculative stuff going on in IT right now

[elfin meteor]

Don't I know it...

[honest tinsel]

Big guys layoff people everyone else does too

[elfin meteor]

Yep

It also doesn't help that it's an election year. Everyone is nervous around election years... 😞

[mossy stag]

ogey finally at home

@honest tinsel can you upload a mahjong tile you'd use? I'd love to get a feel for the ones you picked 🙂

Gonna also upload what I mean with the checkpoint/LORA spitting out Minor Nightmares

Finally github repos will go up in a few once I dealt with the AI stuff; there's some things I also wanna take a look at

[honest tinsel]

What you have is fine / just the issue of it appearing 3D

[mossy stag]

Ahh, I get ya

[honest tinsel]

The system makes it 3D, you can also color the siding

So idea pieces you want to appear flat should be just the top face - also if you don't want tiles rotated you can set it to be un-rotatable

[mossy stag]

Got ya! The guy who did the tiles also did flat ones, probably will grab those and resize them

I think I can't adjust the depth cause they're technically cards; I tried adding the registerSpecial and it didn't seem to do anything

[mossy stag]

You used that for Catan, right? I seem to remember the village/town pieces having something to that effect

[honest tinsel]

The cities/towns are no-rotation, while roads are flat 2D shapes with the 3D rendering, yes

The roads also feature coloring the sides 👍

[mossy stag]

Gotcha

[mossy stag]

Flat tiles are in now, the volumetric stuff doesn't seem to want to cooperate though

I'll set them to full white and if that doesn't work I'll just upload as-is honestly

[honest tinsel]

What are you trying to do / what is not working?

[mossy stag]

essentially just modify the drawtexturecardface

gamePieceAndBoardHandler.registerSpecial("Base.MahjongTiles", 
    { alternateStackRendering = {func="DrawTextureCardFace", rgb = {1, 1, 1} }, moveSound = "pieceMove" }
    )```

The move sound works so it's not the registerspecial command

[honest tinsel]

Modify it to what?

[mossy stag]

Maybe I'm being dumb but am I understanding correctly that modifying the RGB should change how the volumetric rendering is coloured?

[honest tinsel]

Yeah

The rgb values are 0 to 1

[mossy stag]

Essentially I want to turn the sides of the stack to be white (or green or whichever, really, I haven't quite decided), but the command just does not appear to work; I just changed the lua to be full white (rgb = 1) and it's still the same as default

[honest tinsel]

try changing the middle value to 0.37

[mossy stag]

That did something

[honest tinsel]

Probably due to the texture in use

[mossy stag]

I'll set it to green and leave it, it's fine

[honest tinsel]

I can add something to change the texture for the sides

[mossy stag]

That'd be cool, yeah

[honest tinsel]

add an extra field there sideTexture = ""

and add a texture in modelTextures

media\textures\modelTextures

Once I update it, it will take effect - that way you don't have to wait

[mossy stag]

Mahjong updated on the workshop

[mossy stag]

Finally, to show what I meant with Minor Nightmares in regards to the Spiffo Lora, this is my output...

for this set up; prompts are basically copied from the military spiffo on the lora page and honestly it seems to be a yiffymix problem, cause I get similar images with basically any prompt I use for that specific checkpoint

[honest tinsel]

I had this issue cause I didn't use the configs

And the VAE I think

[honest tinsel]

Doing some more tests to check stability

hoping I don't have to redo the network stuff

[honest tinsel]

@mossy stag Sorry, the mahjong side texture should be named something specific to mahjong, like mahjongSide

[mossy stag]

Makes sense, I'll push a small update

[honest tinsel]

Rebooting with some significant changes to networking. Basically implemented the client -> server -> client action handler. <@&1200064705109168258>

Going to take a walk for a bit, server is currently rebooting

[elfin meteor]

Damn... sorry you had to go that route man. 🙁

[honest tinsel]

IP: games.dzphosting.com
PORT: 38103

[honest tinsel]

It is what it is, I wrote it in a pretty gnarly way to maintain compartmentalization, so when/if the serverside item handling is implemented officially I can rip this out.

The cooldown is still placed clientside, so it may not even work entirely

brb

[honest tinsel]

I'm around if anyone wants to do a quick test

Seems like a few actions are not working the same - but overall it's fine

[honest tinsel]

<@&1200064705109168258> Anyone free?

[elfin meteor]

I wish I was...

Yeah, that's the pack stuff I was curious about

[eternal heart]

i can whats up?

[honest tinsel]

All good for now, nearly there in fixing the desync. 👍

[cinder tide]

trashed bar

MoM turned out good lol

i like the new pictures

[honest tinsel]

Ty

I need to draw up a back

[honest tinsel]

Updated again

Removed the inUse thing which was a stop gap to work alongside the cooldown

I ended up not even using it in the last test - and the drag drop was still only using inUse (not cooldown) which is probably why it broke.

[strong eagle]

Sorry I missed the call to arms— as a side note, I don’t think I would recommend The Boy and the Heron.

I’m free tomorrow if you need any help testing any peculiarities, desync, what-have-you 🙂

if you notice i actually caught vanilla items doing the same thing (see batteries on top of the box. beer can by table.)

[honest tinsel]

Yeah that's the 2d load in

So yeah pack won't matter

I'd need to include more icons for the smaller versions

Which is meh

@strong eagle lmk if/when you're around

[strong eagle]

Just sat down a few minutes ago-- coffee and haystack cookie in hand, I'm ready to kick the shit out of today.

[honest tinsel]

I'm on the server rn

Remember to unsub from gamenight

@cinder tide ?

[cinder tide]

Working sorry

[honest tinsel]

@strong eagle Need to move car, brb

[strong eagle]

IM WALKING HERE

🤌

[honest tinsel]

Yeah

Unfortunately ended up moving it on Tuesday to a Thursday spot

I try it stay on the same side cause it's Tuesday/Friday

Monday/Thursday

Overall I think the mechanics are better

Harder to cause desync, still the drag drop stuff seems to still be causing issues

[honest tinsel]

@strong eagle mechanic was in the wrong spot - we're still short 1

[violet fable]

@violet fable can you help us find the cards we need?

[violet fable]

I broke her by mentioning chocolate 😂

[honest tinsel]

No, she just doesn't respond like that in general

Also she's only whitelisted in general and rocking chair

[honest tinsel]

Working on some new back art + tweaks to existing art I think looks off

For MoM

Need to also redo Catan and Uno

Looks a bit too detailed? idk

[elfin meteor]

I think it looks pretty dope.

[honest tinsel]

Using this for the box art

[honest tinsel]

Reworking the car frames too

Trying to find a design that fits well with half of it covered lol

[honest tinsel]

@strong eagle

[strong eagle]

Oooh, watching them process in real time?

@cinder tide @strong eagle

embeded file linking 😎

works the same way all the way up to the template

If I change the symbols for example, al the following files should update

[honest tinsel]

Redid the description images for good measure

[strong eagle]

I swear it’s worth joining this server solely for watching you develop workflows.

[elfin meteor]

Sorcery...

[cinder tide]

yeah chuck really went above and beyond with game night

[cinder tide]

did you get an email about them or just wanting to do something preemptively

[honest tinsel]

Oh I just meant to make the cards bigger / more legible

I pushed another update for game night beta

While dragging if the piece you're dragging becomes busy it should 'let go' of the piece

There's probably still a short window where a desync can occur

Next step might be to make it not move if the location when picked up isn't the same

rebooting again, forgot to fix the search action

was what I thought

onPickUp wasn't running if you already had the cards

[strong eagle]

Ah, that search functionality has been fixed now?

[honest tinsel]

Should be

[strong eagle]

^ accurate .gif of Chuck carrying the modding scene

[honest tinsel]

lol, nah there's a lot of good stuff going on in the server

Also I found really nice scans of Catan stuff

Just finished learning new tricks for Uno

Wikipedia has a giant SVG of a sheet

Might have all the old games updated in time for the modjam

[honest tinsel]

@strong eagle You may get a kick out of this lol

Using masking to recreate the border, and fix the scan's positioning

Some noticeable color differences, but overall not bad - won't probably be visible once sized down

[strong eagle]

God DAMNIT that's cool

[honest tinsel]

😅

batching is fun

[glossy cliff]

Interesting... 🤔🤔🤔
It is going to be compatible with the littering mod?

[cinder tide]

Should be since it counts as trash

Trash, dirt, blood etc

The mod is “Lifestyle”

[glossy cliff]

Ahhh, so trash, dirt and blood does count too... that's very interesting.

[honest tinsel]

Rebooted with the upgrades to UNO and Catan

Made the catan cards and stuff examine-context only, rather than hover-over too, and made their shift-action to examine

[honest tinsel]

@long crescent Currently I have clients ping the server for permissions to continue with their action

If the item enter's a cooldown phase while being held it's meant to 'let go' of the item

I don't think that was working

[long crescent]

Think to fully understand, I'd probably have to just check the code a tad 😅
But thinking of it, maybe, instead of just the delay thing, when letting go have a check if the item's still at said position with offsets before actually doing the moving action or similar?
This may alleviate the symptoms of this issue, unless, potentially, when doing all that more in sync 🤔
So some kind of verification of it, or if it somehow changed
Though comes at the cost of some more work on actions

[cinder tide]

God damn that turned out great

[honest tinsel]

Yeah, it was overdue with all the new features

Just rebooted with another attempt at catching desync

now when one begins to move a world item it carries a timestamp, if the timestamp doesn't match it stops it

placing items changes the time stamp

it should work

[honest tinsel]

Maybe I should promote the Game Night Test server during the week of the jam

For people not participating

Need to iron out these issues though

Speaking of which - if anyone is around lmk

test should be like 3-5 minutes

[long crescent]

Just woke up, but would be available if still required

[honest tinsel]

Yep, just prettying up the bar

Join whenever / ping me here if I don't see you

Wish there was more tools to modify a building

[long crescent]

Alright, am on!
Same test as before?

[honest tinsel]

Btw, I didn't change the name of the variable for on drag cooldown checks

So it wasn't doing anything because it wasn't told to do anything

[long crescent]

Got me confused, my thoughts were elsewhere xD

[honest tinsel]

No problem, just read it and shook my head

If you're free to mess around for 3 minutes

[long crescent]

Sure am, just joining again? Or gotta wait a bit for you to finish stuff?

[long crescent]

Shift-Clicking to flip doesn't work anymore and it seems to cancel movement of cards when the card in question is being stacked with another - assuming sole person interacting with it.
When quick enough, still possible to flip however, resulting in one card ending up in inventory.

Some other parts currently:

• Shift clicking a dice doesn't roll it (makes the sound for it however)
• Shift dragging on poker chips stack won't take one off of it. (unsure if intentional?)

[honest tinsel]

Sorry got distracted

[long crescent]

all good

[honest tinsel]

So enforcing the cooldown broke more stuff?

[long crescent]

If that was all it was, yeah it seems so

[honest tinsel]

I think I fixed the issues caused by cool down enforcement

[violet fable]

oh cool it went thru

DLing the mods

almost there

hopefully i dont have to restart the client

[honest tinsel]

Almost always occurs for me

[violet fable]

didnt have to, loading in

im in

[short yew]

Started a mod for the mod jam 😁

[honest tinsel]

Is it one of the listed ideas?

Trying to avoid overlap

[short yew]

Don't think it's on the list. Been wanting to add Go for a while

Might also do Shogi and Chinese chess to make a pack of it

[honest tinsel]

Ah, Go is on there. I'll add your name next to it.

I can also change the name of the backgammon pieces to black/white game piece

That'd mean you just need the game board - unless they're totally different

[short yew]

Have the board, still working on the pieces. With image scaling now supported, what's a good resolution for the board?

Could be something that's standardized

[honest tinsel]

It can be whatever you want as long as it's smaller than the window

I usually make the boards 70-80% of the window so pieces can sit off

[honest tinsel]

Anyone available to test some stuff briefly?

<@&1200064705109168258>

Ping me whenever.

[long crescent]

Can hop on for a bit

[honest tinsel]

ping me again once you're in

[long crescent]

Loaded in

[glossy cliff]

What table game are we going to play?

[honest tinsel]

rebootin'

Once it's up we can test again

Also, the server is 24/7 if you want to test stuff out with friends

joining

[honest tinsel]

Big thanks to @long crescent and others for hopping on for tests.

[honest tinsel]

Forgot I added this

[short yew]

Is there a way to make a gameboard flip? Or is that functionally only for cards?

I want to have two options for board sizes for Go, and flipping the board feels like a more elegant way to do it rather than having two boards

[mossy stag]

work on my carcassone spoof is certainly going

using this to teach myself inkscape so it's WIP and not fully consistent but it's fun as hell

[honest tinsel]

All the functions are per card or per piece, pieces can be flipped - check out the checkers. 👍

[honest tinsel]

Same way with me and AI image generation / batch processing in photoshop 👍

Sped up workflow to the point where I could take a day to crunch something out

That being said once you guys have screenshots feel free to share in #1254451545760731177 👼

[mossy stag]

Will do, I posted my v early stuff there first but I think I'll wait until I got something slightly more presentable 😄

[honest tinsel]

I think there are 2-4 more people participating, no pressure for anyone either way. It's fun to see stuff getting made.

[short yew]

Is there a list of all the different actions available in the guide?

[honest tinsel]

No, I probably should add something for that

All the different features - technically you can add your own actions

I actually forgot how detailed I got lol:
https://github.com/Chuckleberry-Finn/game-night/blob/main/README.md

[short yew]

I think I got the gist of it down. Not sure if there will be conflicts between a game piece being both "Locked" and "Flippable" but we'll see I guess

Of course I can never get the add-ons to work the first 10 tries. Every time there's an error 😩

[honest tinsel]

I can look over it if you're having issues

I'm not one of the judges or participants

👼

[honest tinsel]

If you want to share some progress images #1254451545760731177 @short yew

I’ll share some shots there as soon as I manage to get it to run lol

If I can’t get it to work by tomorrow I’ll ask for your help 😆

Alright, still can't get it to work lol. Feel like it's just a small thing 😩

Guess I have to use the 'Ask Chuck' lifeline lol
https://github.com/oppolla/game-night-go

[honest tinsel]

What are the issues?

Also private?

[short yew]

Just an error at start and a crash when I try to spawn in items. I feel like this happened every time I've tried an add-on, like I'm making the same mistake every time

Just changed it to public

Messed up the current version, it crashes on startup now

[honest tinsel]

You could make the go stones a stacking item

Instead of cards

[short yew]

Is that done with this? gamePieceAndBoardHandler.registerTypes({ })

[honest tinsel]

No, register types declares the item type for game night - for behaviors and functions you use register special

Ive been meaning to make them one

Check out poker chips

I may need to go back and merge those two functions to make it simpler

Eventually I'd like to merge cards and pieces, just haven't had time to rip it all down lol

[honest tinsel]

Just had a chance to check out the repo

Register Special is meant to be used per item type

and you have base.Go_Board_Front but the item ID is just Base.GoBoard

[honest tinsel]

@short yew Something is wrong in your scripts, I cleaned up what you have/had - but I still can't figure out what's broken with the box

Something related to models or scripts I think

[short yew]

Took a few more stabs but haven't solved it yet. Thought it might be related to the board being flippable but still getting errors...

[honest tinsel]

Nah, I have fixes on a fork - it's something with the box and models - maybe cause they're all the same ID

[honest tinsel]

I think that is what it was

item ITEMTYPE
model ITEMTYPE

going a test now

nope

[honest tinsel]

Weird, flip was throwing errors, and now doesn't. 🤔

Nope, back to throwing errors with the go board

[honest tinsel]

@short yew https://github.com/oppolla/game-night-go/pull/1

Also fixed the flip piece breaking in game night itself

[short yew]

Thanks for taking a look at the mess 😄

[honest tinsel]

😊

[honest tinsel]

Fixed the last issue, it was due to small typos mostly.

You still need artwork for the mod. 😅 + the box needs art.

[lone depot]

Skill Recovery journal sounds like a nice addition

[honest tinsel]

Thank you 🤔, however, this post is about the Game Night Series/Collection. 👍

[short yew]

It's all in-game now (thanks Chuck). Now onto new problems 😅

... like why one texture is sharp and the other blurry when they are both the same resolution PNGs 🤔

Also might be issues locking a flippable board so I might just make it not lockable

[short yew]

By default the stones all drop down individually onto the board. A bit of a handful to move if you misplace them, but I think player's should be able to get used to it

[honest tinsel]

The stones should come as a stack

[short yew]

How exactly does the "sidetexture=" work? I end up with weird results when I use it like this purple edge:

Also the texture is still blurry for one side of the board. The PNGs are the same dimensions, they are both under 1MB

[honest tinsel]

Not sure why it'd be blurry - what's your minimum texture size set to?

Also side texture stretches/skews the texture to fit into that purple side

[short yew]

The front board is textureSize = {740,800}, and is blurry.
The altState board texture size isn't defined and is sharp, so maybe could be related to that?

[honest tinsel]

I meant the in-game option

there's something to handle large textures

[honest tinsel]

The board also doesn't have a sideTexture set - it should be using the color you give it. I can double check to see if the rgba values got mixed up somewhere.

As for the blurriness there's an option in vanilla called 'Max Texture Size' - I don't see the issue on my end, so maybe that's triggering the bluriness for you.

[honest tinsel]

Currently working on getting pieces to behave better when rotated

Figured out how to handle the label's and mouse over - but bringing pieces to the edges is still causing issues

[short yew]

I'll try changing that setting. By default my max texture size was set to 256. The weird thing for me is it consistently renders the altState sharply, and the default state blurry. I know blurry texture is a common complaint. Could be a lead on the root cause

[short yew]

Will the side texture be fully projected onto the side with color and all that? Or should it be greyscale, and the set RGB is what tints it?

I played around with it this weekend but kept getting a glitchy sides

Like the texture only applied to 2 of the sides, and the other 2 sides became purple for some reason

[honest tinsel]

You should only ever see 2 sides, unless you're refering to the rounded shapes. And the side is colored over using RGB, but PZ only has overlayed color. So if you want to color the texture you'd need to make the texture as close to white as possible (I think)

[short yew]

It's like this image above:#1154578721924194384 message
2 of the sides seem to show a color closer to what I want, and the other 2 a completely off

the purple side is the one that is off

[honest tinsel]

Figured out much better logic for hitboxes

[uneven prairie]

Chuckleberry Finn

Game Night

• Improved label/mouse-over for rotated pieces.
• Improved hit-boxes for items in play.

[honest tinsel]

Other than the board's coloring is there any other issues?

I think the poster art is still incomplete

[honest tinsel]

Also, I'm doing tests with the mod, and the coloring is occurring do to the base mod doing something fishy - I'd ignore it. It doesn't even look at bad tbh.

I upstreamed your changes and the issue with an item script is back 😅

Probably related to the box/board changes

[short yew]

I was messing around with it so it's also likely I broke something. It's pretty close to being done I think. One of the changes I made over the weekend was to make the Go board itself the box when you unseal it. Not sure if that would cause any issues, maybe a typo?

Other than that, there's still the crash when I try to lock the board which I think it related to the board being flippable, but I can just remove the ability to lock the board which shouldn't make too much of a difference

Also have to re-test with the higher texture size in my game settings, but it is strange to me that one side is consistantly sharp across the iterations, and one side consistantly blurry

[honest tinsel]

The item script error was from vestiges of the box

I fixed it by removing it - but now there's some issue with the sealed board not spawning full stacked items - looking into it

The locking board issue should have been fixed with one of the recent changes to GameNight

- Added 'gameNight_boxEnough' as a item param for non-boxes to feel like boxes.

Pushed changes to you

I'll hold off on updating game night again until you're going to upload it

Someone else might run into a needed change

So for the time being your board will not spawn with full stacks - just a heads up - but it works with the future version of game night

[violet fable]

Chuck Chuck? When was the event ending again? I don’t want to miss seeing peoples work!

[honest tinsel]

14th

[mossy stag]

Was there a way to rotate cards?

I've made all the tiles for the carcassone reskin into cards for now so they can stack and shuffle but I don't seem to be able to rotate them

[honest tinsel]

You can rotate them by scrolling, or giving them a rotate action

If you provide a repo I can help

[mossy stag]

Lemme check

[honest tinsel]

https://github.com/Chuckleberry-Finn/gameNight-AddOn-Template

[mossy stag]

I completely blanked that scrolling works, thanks

I'll put it in the description

I'll definitely get done today, but will probably do a second art pass

The cards look neat but some of the details are lost because I need to scale them down substantially

[honest tinsel]

There's a preview mechanic

Check the MoM mod

Actually the template has Occult cards

Should have the examine feature there

[honest tinsel]

I forgot to ping you, but I don't see the mod yet - probably need to be added as a contributor (?)

Also do you have a GitHub / repo?

Oh I see the invite now

[mossy stag]

yeah I went to bed after I added you

[mossy stag]

Not yet, will set it up later tonight or tomorrow depending on time allowing

[honest tinsel]

I'll poke around

[honest tinsel]

gamePieceAndBoardHandler.registerSpecial("Base.AmericanaTiles",
        { moveSound = "pieceMove", actions = {examine=true}, examineScale = 1, textureSize = {90,90} }
    )
gamePieceAndBoardHandler.registerSpecial("Base.AmericanaStarter",
        { moveSound = "pieceMove", actions = {examine=true}, examineScale = 1, textureSize = {90,90} }
    )

Only change needed ☝️

excluding examineScale means hover over is disabled

including examine=true as an action gives the right click to examine option

[mossy stag]

Gracias, I'll get to it tomorrow

[honest tinsel]

If you set the mod to 'unlisted' instead of hidden I can test it live

[mossy stag]

Done

[mossy stag]

Extrapolating on the idea to change the catan board that someone posted on the workship item; how difficult would snapping be to implement?

[honest tinsel]

Doable I guess

[silver edge]

Howdy! So... Weird issue, my friend can't seem to play with the Playing cards, whenever he tries to interact with them in the 'Play Game' menu, he gets a white padlock like this:

I've picked the cards up and set them down

he's picked them

and apparently he has several interactions missing and some that don't work... Could it be the item itself? (it was a regular card pack without any interactability before the mod was installed)

[short yew]

Can the deck building system work with game pieces when unsealing a box? Doing a quick Snakes and Ladders add-on. I have a 17 different game boards with different layouts. What I want is for 1 of those 17 to be randomly drawn whenever a player unseals a box

[wise depot]

But I dont have anyone to play these with

[honest tinsel]

Yes, takes a bit a poking with Lua to get it to work, I do something similar with TCGs

[honest tinsel]

The padlock means it's on cooldown - but for it to be this bad I have to assume your friend has alot of lag?

[short yew]

K I'll take a look at Pogs and MTG (RIP)

[honest tinsel]

MoM now ❤️

[silver edge]

not really- Like 30-90 ms?

[honest tinsel]

Can you clarify what interactions he's missing?

@mossy stag

Btw, you can provide lists for card names - I can show you how, but if you're busy I can setup the repo. If you ever used github before?

Also I believe a scoreboard is needed?

[silver edge]

Basically, right-clicking doesn't bring up anything when inside or outside the play menu

He can right click and press play, but whenever he has to interact with any cards or anything in the menu, it will just show the padlock and right clicking doesn't bring anything

It won't show anything, no draw cards, no split, no nothing-

[honest tinsel]

I'm not sure why the padlock would show up if no one is interacting with the item

[mossy stag]

I have, just been dealing with a lot of real life shit

I'll do the Scoreboard tonight and update for proper release

[mossy stag]

HELLA NICE

Oh also the little score tiles

What exactly do you need for the card list? Just names?

[honest tinsel]

So in add card, you can provide a list with keys equal to the IDs, and names for the cards

So they don't need to be named FFFR etc

You could name them all American Tile

I'll write it up and share it here

[mossy stag]

Ohhh I see

[long crescent]

-# Alright, so based on the two images, it seems the professor would like to claim that the spiffo holding the newspaper's tail pierced the body of the other one! 🤔
-# We now know whodunit.
Looking great!

[honest tinsel]

@mossy stag

I simplified the for loop stuff

Or well, streamlined it, idk if it's simpler lol

Going to test it and let you know if it's messed up

Just double check I didn't nuke tiles off the list tho lol

[mossy stag]

Will do

[honest tinsel]

If you prefer I can make a github repo, put the changes on there and upload it to the workshop

All you'd need to do is update your local files

[short yew]

Had a quick question: Any potential issues with doing the game piece randomization in the Distrubution.lua?

[honest tinsel]

Unsealed boxes spawn everything regardless of chance (I think)

So making the chances not 9999 would produce normal loot spawn in opened boxes found in the world

You could replace the recipe's function for opening to match the distro - or I could change it to match the chance

Depends what game you're thinking tbh

[short yew]

Mainly asking because I'm having a hard time deciphering the deck building in MoM and Pog lol

    rolls = 1,
    items = {
        "Base.Snakes_and_Ladders_Board_17", 9999,
        "Base.Button08", 9999,
    },
    junk = { rolls = 1, items = {} }, fillRand = 0,
}```
was thinking something that randomly selects from a table and plugs into the items =

[honest tinsel]

Are snakes and ladders not a standard board game?

With a set of pieces and cards?

In MoM/Pokemon/Pogs they don't really have boxes like the other games do - they have their own deck opening mechanic that's fired when the item is first found, or created.

[short yew]

It is, but since it's a game of chance, and there isn't a "canonical" board, I wanted to include a variety. Basically each box contains 1 of the 17 boards, and maybe 4 random buttons, and dice

[honest tinsel]

Ah

That can probably be handled in the recipe function

[short yew]

Still figuring out some errors, but would something like this work for box randomization?
https://github.com/oppolla/game-night-snakes-and-ladders/blob/main/Contents/mods/game-night-snakes-and-ladders/media/lua/server/gameNight - DistributionsGo.lua

[honest tinsel]

Not quite

Part of the game night API has an applyFunction when the 'gamenight goodness' is applied

I can write it up for you later

This is how MTG does it's decks

What you'd be doing is RNGing a modData value to the boxes sealed or otherwise

[short yew]

Yeah it seemed too simple to be true lol

I looked at the other add-ons that did that but they were for decks. Wasn't sure how game pieces were different

[mossy stag]

hid americana for now, I am simply not finding the time to actually work on it whatsoever

[honest tinsel]

It was already unlisted - setting it to hidden entirely would cause problems for servers/people using it

I can spruce up the art / make a scorecard if you don't mind

[mossy stag]

fair fair

Go ahead at this point

[honest tinsel]

If you don't have a repo I can set one up as well

[honest tinsel]

@mossy stag Hope you don't mind:

[mossy stag]

Yeah that's much better tbh

I just don't really have time or energy to work on it, if you want I can turn over the files to you

I'd rather someone who has either of that works on it than the project rotting on my drive

[honest tinsel]

I made a github repo

https://github.com/Chuckleberry-Finn/gameNight-americana

Lmk if you use github I can add you as a contributor

[mossy stag]

I'll make sure that I upload the sources/svgs

I do, CuteMoonGod

[honest tinsel]

I added an 'images folder outside of contents - if you put stuff outside of contents it doesn't get included into the steam upload 👍

[honest tinsel]

I think I finished the changes

Redid poster art, box art, added outlines to the meeple, added score card

Uploaded to github and workshop 👍

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3289537326

🫡 Thank you for your hard-work, hope things go smoothly for you

[short yew]

I can't stop getting errors even when making simple add-ons

I'm blind to typos I think

[honest tinsel]

Need help?

[short yew]

Think I do. Can't see what's wrong lol

https://github.com/oppolla/game-night-asian-strategy-collection

These were built off Go. These were the other games I wanted to do as part of that set

It adds 4 more. Janggi, Shogi, Xianqi, and Jungle

Maybe what I did wrong could be added to a common troubleshooting section of something

[honest tinsel]

Seems like you have a folder sync issue or?

[short yew]

That folder is just the working files

[honest tinsel]

This needs to match the item type

[short yew]

Did some renaming guess I missed that one. And a bunch of others

[honest tinsel]

Seems like they're all like that though?

the _ico part

[short yew]

Even the icons have to be like that?

[honest tinsel]

By default they have to match the itemType like the inplay textures

[short yew]

Oh didn’t know that. Had the ico suffix so the files could be read easier when making them. Should be an easy fix then

[honest tinsel]

I recently added the script's icon to it

But I'm not sure if that'd break the inplay texture

I haven't booted it up, just skimming around, what issues did you see?

Ah I see the issue

[short yew]

Was getting errors activating them on menu lol

[honest tinsel]

If you wanted to set up your own state you'd need to leave off the directory

damn, that's on me lol

[short yew]

So leaving out OutOfPlayTextures/ would resolve it?

[honest tinsel]

No that'd cause other issues - it is my bad as it was trying to fetch OutOfPlayTextures/OutOfPlayTextures/ basically

I would just leave off _ico

Actually, it's been a while since I updated game night

I'll do a quick test

Ok the boards seem fine

Jungle board has no pieces but contains another of itself

Same for shogi:

• the icon

Also same for:

Xian seems fine:

But none of these pieces are registered as gameNight pieces

[short yew]

I wasn't fully sure how to do the pieces for these games since they have multiples of each. Some have wrong names for icons I think

That one is related to the example you posted above, should be elephant but the name is the old Bishop

easy fix

[honest tinsel]

Yes but, something is going on with the registering

doesn't seem to be working

ERROR: General , 1722979472228> ExceptionLogger.logException> Exception thrown se.krka.kahlua.vm.KahluaException: gameNight - implementXianqi.lua:9: ambiguous syntax (function call x new statement) near ( at LexState.lexerror line:278.

I think it's cause of not having the ( next to the function lol

[short yew]

Ah okay lol. Made it that way to be easier to read

[honest tinsel]

You can make it function({
})

The problem is putting the ( on a new line it seems

[short yew]

That seems to have resolved everything, thanks 😄

Gonna refine it for another day or two, then finish up Snakes and Ladders too

[honest tinsel]

👍 Thanks for making the add-ons.

@indigo apex has been giving me pointers on MTG, and we got an expansion system for MoM in place

[short yew]

That’s awesome, looking forward to see what you come up with

[short yew]

Not sure what's wrong with those other boxes but can't figure out why they're not spawning pieces when unsealed 😵‍💫

[honest tinsel]

They need distribution lists to read from

Are you sure the lists are all set up?

Push your changes and Ill take a peek

[short yew]

Github is up to date with latest changes. 1 of the 4 works for a reason I don't understand lol

[honest tinsel]

Which one works?

[short yew]

Xianqi

[honest tinsel]

gamePieceAndBoardHandler.registerTypes({
    "Base.ShogiBoard",

That's the only difference, but it shouldn't be impacting things

[short yew]

I've looked it over a dozen times and can't see anything that could be messing up the other games

Could the container be too small or something?

[honest tinsel]

That is an issue at times

Pieces can be given weight in registerSpecial or in their item script

[short yew]

I saw in Go you had weight for both the item script and the registerSpecial. Does one overwrite the other? I removed the ones registerSpecial because they seemed redundant.

[honest tinsel]

Shouldn't matter - but I'm not sure tbh

the stack stuff should grab the script value

[honest tinsel]

@short yew Sitting down with this - your item list is broken again due to an item trying to use a texture that doesn't exsist lol

Btw, for the most part you don't need both in/out-of play textures

It will just use whatever is used for inplay as it's default texture

The exception to this rule is stuff like boards, which looks alot nicer being slightly turned and whatnot

[short yew]

Lmao sounds like me. I’m literally unable to spot details like that which is why I can’t code well

[honest tinsel]

It's all good

4 add-ons at a time is alot even for me

Looks like 1 of the board games also had pieces only in in-play (?)

[short yew]

I usually make the icons a pixel-ized versions for icons to keep it in line with vanilla

[honest tinsel]

It's fine to want to do that, but they get shrunken down anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

I can readd them back in, if you prefer

I wish the game would tell you which item is breaking sort

Maybe I can patch in a fix for that

Seems like a really easy mistake to make which breaks a key part of the game lol'

[short yew]

Yeah it’s a lot to keep track of lol, especially for games with a lots of pieces, the list in the implement lua, the item script, and in/out texture files, and then distribution 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[honest tinsel]

Added an error check to community tools:
ERROR: sorting failed: table 0x1589396095 , Item{Module: Base, Name:ShogiBoard, Type:Container} , nil

Seems like it's not picking up a display name

[short yew]

That board was another thing I was stumped on lol. The texure wasn't showing up in game

[honest tinsel]

Weird though, the script has a display name

[short yew]

Could the Translate file affect it in any way?

[honest tinsel]

Yes

You don't have commas in the shogi one lol

[short yew]

🤦‍♂️

Never thought to check the translate files

[honest tinsel]

Testing it now

[short yew]

I need to re-worked Shogi pieces too since they're an odd shape

[honest tinsel]

Seems like scripts failing to get a display name break a bunch of stuff lol

The commas don't seem to have been the issue btw

Added the error print to the Patch

If you want to enable that along with the tools

It would atleast not break the item viewer and you can tell which items are causing issues

[honest tinsel]

Still stuck on this, it's weird

[honest tinsel]

@short yew Figured it out and pushed

Capacity can't be non-whole it seems

I pushed everything but removing the in-play textures

I leave that up to you

[short yew]

Was that it? I did that to see if it was because the container was too small was the problem and caused another problem 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for figuring it out. Should be able to finish it up this weekend now. Hopefully lol

[honest tinsel]

@indigo apex https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3323250731

Remind me what your steam is again? 😅

[honest tinsel]

Looking atthis site: https://ygoprodeck.com/card-database/?format=goat&sortorder=asc&num=100&offset=0

Don't really see a clean way to go about getting the images

[honest tinsel]

Figured out a python script to use alongside the API from this website

I forgot I need rarities

I can probably pull the data from the same API
