They Are Wigglers, Which Are Caterpillars

heady sand
#

Wigglers! Yes, thanks

gloomy socket
#

why are they called wigglers....

heady sand
#

Anyway so maybe if I implement wigglers and vines that area can come back. In the meantime, there's no use

gloomy socket
#

heady sand
#

Yes

Their individual parts go ↑↓↑↓ when walking

hello frosty cake

heady sand
# empty ore and idk...

for vcmi the mono thing doesn't refer to audio, and a "stereo" vcmi doesnt exist lol

heady sand
#

Oh
Well you can try

#

The rom needs to have an sdat inside which you can export using tinke

#

If there's no file like that inside, or it's a bin I stead or whatever then it's no good

Damn... Lost media...

gloomy socket
heady sand
#

Where?

gloomy socket
#

someone used it to make a tutorial aswell, i saw it a few months ago
they used ida for it so im curious as to how they did it (exportin overlay as exe?)

heady sand
#

Oh
Then what's the issue we were facing lol

gloomy socket
#

uhh they say that the converting them to midis is almost ''impossible'' because the format isnt the one vgmtrans supports so.....

heady sand
#

Hrm

#

"minisf2 to midi" on Google returns a couple of results I haven't looked at yet so I shall research it
Another Day

gloomy socket
#

theres the 2sflib too....

heady sand
#

Oh I see the guide you mean
Yeah they're using like a plugin for ida pro...
Unfortunate it relies on that thing which is so expensive it says to "login and contact us" on their website instead of publicly acknowledging the pricetag

#

And with Ghidra existing...

#

But I have less than 0 experience on all of this so who am I to say

gloomy socket
#

though one thing is that dragging the 2sfs into vgmtrans makes it pop up some samples which uh are like 0.01s long

#

guys we should send a turkey to eat the turnip wandering there trolled

heady sand
#

Oki!

@ vic
i found a new glitch

heady sand
#

Tell me

tardy sentinel
#

die ... act death

tulip knoll
#

if you have the rule: Finished Lap -> Give Mega, when you touch the flag pole it gives you mega and then removes it, then gives you another lap and continues the cycle

gloomy socket
#

i feel thats more of a thing with the level

#

rather interesting tho

heady sand
tulip knoll
#

update, it only works on levels with a ceiling above the flag

heady sand
#

I agree the collision with the pole is fragile
Like it sometimes lags and gives you more than one lap lol, at least from what I've seen...

#

How About Instead of Vic Fixing It,

#

Make it A Togglable Feature

#

A Explosion Of Possibilities Now

gloomy socket
#

pretty sure hes planned this already with teams

#

i think

#

basically you'd be able to set which team is able to trigger the rule and which team gets affected by it

#

or which player from which team

#

too much πŸ₯Ή

cosmic swan
#

It Sounds like He Is Scrapping Teams

gloomy socket
#

huh

cosmic swan
#

But Awsome...

gloomy socket
#

isnt he porting to 1.8

#

1.8 already has teams

cosmic swan
#

IDK

gloomy socket
#

mmmm

cosmic swan
#

I Think he Is Going To Hold off on The gameplay Features until it Releases

#

That's What i Would Do

heady sand
#

Teams will come in v18.0.1, whenever that might be (taking it slow because busy!) (also teams are alr in vanilla 1.8 and it's just easier to make use of iPod's much better implementation of em)
Also, yeah rules are supposed to get a feature that limits who they apply to, be it a group or an individual

#

So the hide and seek dream is not dead, dw!

cosmic swan
#

Now My Flappy Bird Rueset Will Actually Work trolled

heady sand
#

Yup. I can't wait for rule conditions - the main purpose of vcmi - to work as one expects them to. Almost two years after it's original release. Hooray for perpetual beta versions!

cosmic swan
#

Hooray!

wind oriole
#

hi vic

heady sand
#

I'm already matchinatoring a lot in my head to basically redesign the rule creation process for future updates. They'll get more complicated (maybe make it look more friendly with custom dialogues and artwork?), but also hopefully more permissive when creating new gamemodes... But I'm talking too much again

#

Argh man imagine like a silly friendly approachable rule creating screen with sick drawings and animations like something nintendo would do for a 7 year old to understand

#

I gotta sleep on this

#

another tiny porting progress report. Nothing too new, but I'm happy with this. the "grabbing" seems to be lag free as well...? (animations will come later)

#

Took me longer than i'd like to admit to remake the flag waving shader in unity 2022 shader graph. the old scripted one didn't have the same result after copying it over...

gloomy socket
heady sand
#

sure

#

weird question:
does it make sense for teams in a race game to, uh, share laps? my opinion is that no but maybe someone has a diff view

#

how would teaming up in races even work
maybe it's best if races are always individual

gloomy socket
#

or idk, it could be a toggle but im not sure

gloomy socket
# heady sand sure

wait does the shader have that built in or do u needa change it to send the wave horizontally in the y axis instead of vertically in the x axis?

gloomy socket
gloomy socket
#

aw the shader doesnt work with sprites

heady sand
heady sand
gloomy socket
#

wait it might be cause i didnt put a texture oops

#

but the animation......

heady sand
#

Yeah the shader/material takes in 4 parameters, the texture (most important of course), and then amplitude, speed and frequency. A normal range would be 1 or 2 for the first two and about 5 to 10 for the speed. But you gotta experiment
The axis though is baked into the formula. You'll have to go into the FlagWave.shader code (for v17) or the FlagWaving.shader graph (for v18) and manually modify what vertex axis it affects

idle hornet
#

i found another glitch

boreal ibex
#

ok

heady sand
#

Well, what is the bug?

idle hornet
#

here it is

#

the blue shell startes running

#

like the other normal shells

heady sand
#

That's intended, it also happens in the original

idle hornet
#

oh

tardy sentinel

vic am i allowed to hi

heady sand

If you bump a blue koopa from under a block, it gets into its shell and you can kick it instead of collecting it!

the timed rules

You Can Probably Pass Over The Current Timer of Somethin

Ohh hm, so it just has to hurt them

Ok thx for the report
I'll look into it

That's so weird how it knocks them back
What bug could be causing that

vestal wind
#

it also happens on vanilla 1.7 iirc?

#

maybe hasnt been fixed in 1.8?

heady sand
#

I don't remember changing any logic related to shell harming, so I'm hoping it's not something unique to vcmi

it is a vanilla thing

I’m too late on saying this but the joke is that I made a video a long while ago back when zombiebobble was Blue Toad and made β€œSonic 3D Blast gotta blast” jokes and I put that in some old MvL diss video but I made it intentionally bad and frequently typed β€œbalst” instead of β€œblast” consistently

vic do u lik reverbed nsmb overworld (vgmtrans)

gloomy socket

vic does nitro studio allow u to convert the sequenced tracks to a streamed format πŸ€”

heady sand
#

I did my hardest to remove them from the rips I used for vcmi

heady sand
#

(that's how it's done in version 2 Deluxe, at least...)

#

It might seem it's "not responding", but trust me it'll finish eventually, after multiple tens of seconds
If however upwards of 2 or 3 minutes have passed and the output file keeps growing in size, you can kill the task. It means it got stuck in a looping portion of the song which you can cut out later

Hi Vic!!!

oh boy.

gloomy socket
#

true....

empty ore
#

tell me plsss

#

for 10p i literally duplicated the same text but i moved ot a bit the X and Y pos for simulate a shadow outline or smt like that

#

yeah the worst decision of ma life but there wasnt any option

#

vanilla font looks very ugly

heady sand
#

You gotta use the underlay with some offset

heady sand
#

tried making the chat messages have the coloured outline depending on the player, like in pictochat... looks nice!
but... images with a shader can't be "masked" and the sprite goes outside the chat boundaries. very disappointing.

heady sand
#

re-enabling chat rich text is funny

#

but too dangerous

now do 99 stars message....

and host message....

and pls start message...

Hi vic

#

Hello mariogamer and jgamer

idle hornet
#

Hello guys

heady sand
#

any ideas for more??

idle hornet
#

draw ?

heady sand
#

added a couple more

#

i wanna make sure rulesets like hide and seek can still be created even after the bug is fixed

idle hornet
#

ooohhhh nice coding you got there

gloomy socket
heady sand
#

the some conditions only affect the host bug, which current hide and seek gamemode heavily relies on
i'd like to fix the bug while still making it possible to create that ruleset!
so i implemented targets for both condition and actions
those are the ones i've thought of so far

gloomy socket
#

so it'd be like

  1. set condition
  2. set action
  3. set trigger
#

wait

#
  1. set condition
  2. set condition trigger
  3. set action
  4. set action trigger
heady sand
#

almost

  • set condition
  • set who can trigger condition (from screenshot)
  • set action
  • set target for action (from screenshot)
gloomy socket
#

ooooooooo

#

sick

gloomy socket
heady sand
#

not implemened yet, but i'll do it just like the scoreboard does it

#

theres a function to "compare" two players and see which is on top

gloomy socket
#

o

heady sand
#

oh almost forgot, you can combine the targets lol so i.e. you can do host + losing or smth

#

huge possibilities

gloomy socket
#

wait combine in what way
as in like more than 2 triggers for a condition and like 3 for an action

#

or just condition trigger + action reciever

heady sand
#

both the condition and the action of a rule can have either one or many targets applied, and they can differ in both

gloomy socket
#

freeze tag ruleset trolled... (not possible because ice limit)
or perhaps that other suggestion i gave..?

heady sand
#

i.e. the host AND the winning: pressed Up --->>> everyone: dies

#

here, the condition has a combination of two targets and the action has one different target

gloomy socket
#

oh so its like it requires both of em for the condition?

heady sand
#

the minimum amount is one for both parts

gloomy socket
#

i seee

#

thats sick tho

heady sand
#

so you could also do
anyone: pressed Up --->>> the host AND the winning: dies

#

the default behaviour, if you don't wanna bother with this crap, will be like in the current version of vcmi (ignoring bugs)
aka anyone can trigger it and it affects yourself

#

i know, i know it's complicated and bloated, but i swear i'll make it easy for the end user

gloomy socket
#

wonder how this'd work out with time rules.... something like
every 60s, winner remove star
every30s, losing give star

#

hmmmmmmm

heady sand
#

yea lol

#

of course in rules like "1 minute remaining", "every x seconds" or "respawn level", the target property is ignored because it's not player-related

cosmic swan
#

How About...

#

Cause This Would be Even More Confusing Than Normal,

#

Create Complexe Rule Button

gloomy socket
#

smart

#

but that'd make the person question aswell what its meant to do.... kjsdgksdjkhg

cosmic swan
#

The Create Rule Button Creates A Rule Like Normal, But A Complexe Rule Has A Lot More You Can Do With it.

gloomy socket
#

one thing vic can definetely do is add in a guide button

#

perhaps in the current lobby menu rather than the main menu

#

due to it being many things

cosmic swan
gloomy socket
#

damn

gloomy socket
#

maybe it could be somewhere in the current lobby...

cosmic swan
gloomy socket
#

mmmm

cosmic swan
#

My Mod Needs A Gimmick...

gloomy socket
#

wouldnt it make sense?

cosmic swan
gloomy socket
#

when you join the lobby you're going to see options you dont even know about, so a guide being there for them would make more sense than a guide on the main menu lol

#

probably not in the options menu tho, maybe in a lil corner or something

heady sand
#

dw, the new gamemode ui is going to be redesigned to aid players as much as possible
gon add explanations and buttons and dropdowns and stuff, will avoid showing all the information at once to not overwhelm the player

#

i'll be sharing concepts once i get to that

cosmic swan
#

Complexe Rules Can Also Have Custom Time Rules, So 1 second or 2000 Seconds Could be Possible

heady sand
#

argh i should've streamed this devving session

#

#

hey vic...
if you plan or manage to implement the midi playback in the 1.8 port...

#

maybe u could make it so that when your game is paused, you only hear the bass?

#

or a limited set of instruments

#

(@foxyyy idea)

#

super useless but

#

ye

heady sand
#

This already kinda happens when you're spectator so... I'll see how this can change

gloomy socket
#

oh yea

heady sand
#

Unrelated but sorta related
Yeah man the midi situation is difficult... I'm almost tempted to buy that one 60€ plugin I showed... Almost.
And nah, I couldn't pirate it either, why try to hide it
Rn my best bet is to do some magic auto detection thing where it uses either midi or streamed depending on the OS (of course, streamed would be a "limited" mode with no dynamic music, etc.)
OR
Just ditch midi entirely and try to make different channels/stems using normal oggs. So i.e. grassland_bass.ogg, grassland_drums.ogg, yadda yadda... and mix them with a neat script
I'm still indecisive!! I like midis but idk!!

gloomy socket
#

i mean u can go with whichever seems easier to work with for you
or cheaper to work with

#

so midi benefits...
dynamic music and etc ye
changeable music

ogg benefits....
idk

heady sand
#

Another midi benefit is that the file size is tiny yet super high quality

  • super easy to do transforms like tempo or pitch change
#

Streamed music is, well, much easier to get hold of lol

heady sand
gloomy socket
#

grrrr if only we could mp3 to midi convert...

#

I'm yapping again cause it helps me think

I Guess That's The Only Bad Thing About vcmi...

#

But The Mod Is So Good That It Barley Matters

gloomy socket
#

only bad thing about vcmi is hosts making bad use of the rules..........
(by bad use i mean make stuff that isnt playable or fun in the slightest)

cosmic swan
gloomy socket
#

oop

heady sand
#

The solution is clearly to have an online repository of Good Rulesetsβ„’ that hosts can download

#

Because it's apparently difficult to come up with new rules while playing and so usually they resort to random stuff

vic can i c word your mod

heady sand

oooo

i see

#

thank u vic

cosmic swan
#

I Wana Know How The "Bahs" Work...

heady sand
#

Before midis were implemented, it was just hard coded timestamps according to the song

#

So just a list of the time in seconds or whatever unit when the bahs happen

#

There was basically no other way with streamed music

heady sand
#

why the hell is the minor/discordant key one exactly 6.66 megabytes though

smh get out lee

frick !

gloomy socket
#

like for example,,
in a slidebrella area you only hear the first 4 seconds of the music loop until you actually hop on the ropes

#

and there’s the vibes too which change how the music sounds depending on the vibe

#

so huh

#

y

heady sand
# boreal ibex how does spp music even work

instead of normal streamed audio (like a wav or mp3 nowadays), it's a sequenced music format like midi is (aka the music is literally specific notes and instruments being told the console to play), but it's proprietary and not very known or documented

gloomy socket
#

fun fact: vcmi has the best visuals

(unless its a ghost ping)

gloomy socket
#

@cosmic swan smh

heady sand
#

Imagine the scenario: bosses are added (boss rush or whatever)
How do?

  • option a: separate mode that's just exclusively kill the boss to win
  • option b: they always come at the end of whatever race map (i.e. the castles)
#

Vote now by sending vcmi via SMS to 04454

cosmic swan
#

oh shoot, you're beating moi to it

cosmic swan
heady sand
#

Basically you gotta kill the boss to progress to the end of the level and win. The state of the boss (health, behaviour...) is synced and the same for everyone, so it's like you all work together and against each other towards the common goal of defeating the enemy
Now determining who deserves to win is a story for another time

#

But right now I'm basically asking for feedback on if they should be their own mode or a toggle for race maps such as castles and you know,

heady sand
gloomy socket
#

damn idk wat to choose,,,

gloomy socket
#

or it could be a β€˜most contribution’ thing

spice schooner
#

what if two people have the same contribution?

gloomy socket
#

then uh

#

respawn the boss but with only 1 hit trolled

spice schooner
#

then the camper steals the kill frfr

heady sand
#

the health of the boss is going to be odd, so like it requires three hits for example

#

if despite this two people still contribute "the same", then the game'll just say it's a tie

foggy vault
heady sand
#

my fear is that option a willl feel too short

gloomy socket
#

true actually,,

#

i think option b is prob the best

foggy vault
#

Oh

#

Right

gloomy socket
#

could add in the tower and castle levels

#

and have em all

foggy vault
#

You’re planning on like

#

3 hits

#

Option A would work better with a health bar, Option B would work better with three hits

#

but would the bosses happen at the final lap or every lap?

gloomy socket
#

im assuming final, no?

heady sand
#

ig final too

gloomy socket
#

wait how would that work then

#

if its thru laps then would it like appear client sided?

#

for the person on the final lap

#

actually no wait,

#

players that arent on the final lap cant interact with the boss

#

and players that are can

foggy vault
#

That’s a neat idea

heady sand
#

yea something like that could work

foggy vault
#

can my map have a boss that’s literally the final boss from the original game my map is based on

heady sand
#

i really wanna keep the boss network synced
so making it intangible for the ones that are not on their final lap makes sense

foggy vault
#

(It literally just goes left and right)

gloomy socket
#

also how about
if you arent on the final lap you get teleported to the start, and when you're on the final lap you get teleported to the boss arena?

heady sand
#

thanks
ehh i'm sure it's fine, just copy the prefab of an existing enemy and then remove the collision check from the player controller that's deemed unworthy

gloomy socket
heady sand
#

oh right, the og has doors before the arena

#

argh

gloomy socket
#

lol

heady sand
#

going thru the door will just make evberything so slow

foggy vault
#

Simple

#

The player breaks down the door

heady sand
#

got too real

gloomy socket
#

Wait no even better,

#

add one of those gate thingys

#

like

#

in boss arenas, theres a gate to the next world that gets destroyed when the player beats the boss

#

do that, but with the laps instead, and have it lead to the boss arena

heady sand
#

oh you're so right

#

the things that go
|___________|

gloomy socket
#

yeyeye

heady sand
#

then it's set

#

also small tangent thought but i think it'll be neat if i managed to make the lapping be not a teleport, but a seamless continuation like in the looping versus maps

gloomy socket
#

that could be good

#

you could even do like that one castle level where choosing the wrong path loops you around and choosing the right one gets you to the next area for the boss arenas trolled

#

i wonder how you'll handle the boss's player targetting and animations dryskull....
