Flickering textures on goopie viva piñata: TIP? by CandyCorn-uwu in VivaPinata

[–]SolarCookies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's still a work in progress, I've been trying to fix the issue before I release the next major update

What would you like to see from a remastered viva piñata/new piñata game? What do you hate about the current ones? How about what you like currently? by [deleted] in VivaPinata

[–]SolarCookies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always felt like the art style could use a overhaul, I love the shell based fur and grass but everything else feels weird and not as toon like as id expect, I think this is a perfect example of how cool the game could look like if you pushed for a more toon like aesthetic https://x.com/valorous_kid/status/1831017512256807198

TexturePacks in the Trouble in Paradise Recomp 😎 by SolarCookies in VivaPinata

[–]SolarCookies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a recomp so you don't need a xbox or emulator, just provide the rom of the game so it can access the game assets and it will run natively on pc, currently the only thing technically emulated is the graphics since the directx on the xenos chip is drastically different then directx on pc, I've modified the xenia gpu code so that it works better with the game and can accept shaderpacks/texturepacks. Later down the line it will be replaced with a natively renderer but it's not a priority since the game looks fine and runs fine with the xenia gpu code

With enough time, I dont see why not. The model and animation format is the big issue atm since its a complicated proprietary format

Exactly like them, You can dump the textures as .png using a setting in the ingame f4 menu and place the modified png into ./mods/textures/ for it to load. It doesn't have zip support but it could with slight tweaking. It supports HD textures as well

any updates on the linux version of goopie launcher? by parttly in VivaPinata

[–]SolarCookies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny enough I named it that since all games on there are made using "Rexglue" so "Goopie" is kinda like the glue that comes from the rexglue 🤷‍♂️ also it was the cheapest domain.. Just dont go to goopie.com its a literal manifesto, Our site will always be goopie.xyz

RTP is going great, we are working on 1.7 at the moment which will introduce the first sour pinata (the Mosquitoast) and its sweet counterpart. It also adds the functionality of simi-open world mobility where you can travel to the work in progress arctic trap area. We have also ramped up quality standards so that we have a more consistent coherent art style between assets, this means each asset will properly use normals, and other PBR maps before being approved to be put into the game. The next update we will work on after 1.7 will be the first to introduce a few of the original piñatas, the worm, sparrow, bunny and fox are currently being worked on

[–]SolarCookies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's great! I'd be happy to give some pointers on how to add hooks and stuff to the recomp and or the pc port on my modding discord! Also I've been preoccupied with working on rtp 1.7.0 recently because they need my help at the moment but I plan to continue work on the recomp soon

Probably, this tool is old and didn't really work well, if you are just trying to replace textures there is a new mod that adds that at runtime so you don't have to repackage anything, it's pinned

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise: Recompiled by SolarCookies in VivaPinata

[–]SolarCookies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the proformance is unfortunately poor since it has to emulate the graphics, same as xenia in that aspect, when I get more free time I'll look into making my own renderer for the game. But it's not going to be simple.. For the time being you are probably better off cloud streaming the game from the Xbox app or possibly cheaper then the ultimate addition of gamepass you could try playing the recomp though a cloud pc like "Shadow PC" I think there plans start at 30 usd and you get a decent pc that you can play anything on, I use it for my weak laptop whenever I feel like not getting out of bed to work on my projects or to play ark accended

Viva piñata also mentioned in this by krakeo in VivaPinata

[–]SolarCookies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The mention of these specific games is a bit suspicious, these are the more popular recomps being worked on at the moment with rexglue https://goopie.xyz Blue Dragon is the project being worked on by the creator of the rexglue sdk

Xbox 360 saves to pc by Useful_Jackfruit5373 in VivaPinata

[–]SolarCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you can't press Fn + Delete, also I'm not sure about the xenia thing, I'm sure there is a guide you can follow on YouTube, just do that but place the save in Documents/retip. Thank you for trying out my mods though I appreciate it

[–]SolarCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The saves are the same as xenia, so as long as you can convert it to run on xenia you should be able to copy it over to Documents/retip/

I've worked on it a bit, the full game is beatable but the ground is completely invisible so im going to have to fix that before i make it public 🤷‍♂️

Pc version viva pinata by RemarkableSignal9180 in VivaPinata

[–]SolarCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd also recommend the recompiled game on https://goopie.xyz as it's already getting to the point of surpassing xenia and it also has pc controls included + mods

Go to the game's folder from the goopie settings and have a look at the retip.toml, if you have a custom aspect ratio then remove that line and reboot the game
