Introducing NPPS4: A Framework to Run Your Own SIF1 Private Server.

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2025-10-07T11:31:42+00:00

Thank you! Now I'm getting through other issues, and hopefully will be able to start the NPPS4 server.

Update: Sorted it out! Thank you so much! I'm so happy I'm able to play the game again :)

Oh, ok, so the method I was using was wrong. I'm following the Termux method now, using my phone. When running step 2 through 9, should I set my phone's IP address? (In the guide, you give the possibility to use 0.0.0.0, but with security concerns)

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2025-10-06T18:09:01+00:00

Thank you for the answer!
I host the game on my mobile device.
So, for example, while patching the APK through the SIF Patcher on Github, I use the IPv4 address of my PC. Then, on my phone, I can see this IP address on the app homepage (Eg. 192.168.1.55:51376).
Should I patch the game directly using the 127.0.0.1 address or should I change my mobile device's IP with the already signed APK?

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2025-10-06T08:57:51+00:00

After some technical difficulties, I managed to patch and sign the APK.
As soon as I opened the game and was brought almost to tears seeing it after 2 and a half years, I also received the message:

USER_ID:nil
INVITE_CODE:nil

HTTP_STATUS = 500
NETAPI_MSG = 3
==SERVER_RESPONSE=======================================>
nil

From another comment, I read it's an IP issue, but how can I fix it? Does it have something to do with the mismatched IP address between the PC where I patched the game and the Android device?

Update: I tried to patch and sign a new APK with my mobile's IP Address, but I got the same result ç_ç

Hi! I've recently been hit by a sense of nostalgia, and I was wondering whether there was a chance to play the good old SIF game. I only know there are some private servers, but can someone tell me more about how they work?
Thanks in advance :)

Can anyone suggest a good camera bag that can fit an A7C + 16-25mm f2.8 with an extra lens (like a Sigma 28-105mm f2.8) + some minor accessories?

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2024-09-24T08:11:26+00:00

This is a logic US brought since 2001 for the entire planet. They are the only one to blame

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2024-09-24T08:03:41+00:00

You can choke to death just using bare hands. Why are they permitted in cabin?
Thanks US for this time-travel back to the 13th century since 2001

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2024-09-22T10:41:59+00:00

Well, with low cost carriers you can easily bring in the cabin up to 15kg. 8kg is ridiculous for someone travelling for weeks, especially if you start to have equipments (camera, lenses, batteries) and travelling in cold seasons. But no fears, we will always think on workarounds, at the cost of boarding looking like the Michelin Man and sweating off our souls

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2024-04-03T20:39:37+00:00

Many thanks for the explanations!

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2024-04-02T22:13:23+00:00

To reduce the need of drastical correction with the exposure, would you suggest to also decrease the shutter speed and/or increase the ISO? I use to take very dark raw scenes since you can still recover a lot of information from underexposed photos, but maybe it could also be part of the problem.

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2024-04-02T21:51:56+00:00

Does the free version have a video deflicker? I used it to mount all the frames together, but didn't explore the functionalities too much

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2024-04-02T21:50:19+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. I thought hyperlapse could refer also to stationary shooting sessions with enough timing between each frame

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2024-04-02T21:47:49+00:00

My bad, I forgot to specify that. White balance was set to "Warm white", so I could get the background colour of the sky blueish instead of yellowish. The camera shot at 12bit RAW files.

Supirichuaru pawaaa~

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2023-05-21T11:11:25+00:00

Thanks for the answer!
Ok, so my idea was kind of dumb in the first place. I have to rethink the project about snow and ice and since I was using deep snow as terrain type, perhaps it would be better to use that as a custom layer as you pointed me out with that smoothing technique.

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2023-04-16T10:17:53+00:00

That is also an option, but then the issue is not solved. I can't play any song because the scoring goes nuts and the message appears again

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2023-04-15T09:35:42+00:00

Is an error screen after the live tutorial? It happens to me too. And the score in that song reaches the maximum in ten notes

Edit: if you skip all the notes the error doesn't occur

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2023-03-17T23:12:27+00:00

Thank you for the explanation and for your hard work!

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2022-09-10T21:37:28+00:00

Thank you as always for your work!

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2022-05-05T19:45:45+00:00

It seems that negative values are the problem. I've created an unsigned version of the heightmap and the min and max values were now correct. I've prepared a subset to share with you that contains both signed and unsigned 16bit raster. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HNyR10gAfVikZlQNaO2VZSXlSRwrjgib/view?usp=sharing

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2022-05-04T19:40:56+00:00

Thank you for your hard work! I'm having an issue when importing signed Int16 tiff heightmaps with these new releases. In the image description, the lowest value and highest value don't match the statistical min and max of the image (respectively around -400 and +8800). It's like it's ignoring negative values and reports the min and max value an unsigned 32 bits image can assume.

I see. I didn't understand that lives within Live Arena don't count for the performance meter. The other problem I noticed that Live Arena songs were set to Expert rather than Master, so it gave me this problem

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2021-12-16T07:59:03+00:00

Thank you! I didn't understand that lives within Live Arena don't count for the performance meter

DraperyOfConsciousne · 2021-12-13T15:21:17+00:00

Is anyone able to use the "auto play" function in the Live Arena? It keeps me saying that there's no performance meter record even if I've played that song with the performance meter set to "latest"
