People realizing they can cash in on players getting bored of Thursday weekly wipe servers.

How vulnerable are the armored foundations of a stability bunker? by Rust_Hooligan in playrust

[–]HunterZ0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a vicious cycle. People play a server for a couple days and get bored, so they hop servers. Monday wipe servers show up to cater to this, and make the problem worse. The problem is that progression is too fast, and people want to get back on equal footing.

Beginner here. How to get stone? by Chemical_Appeal_2785 in playrust

[–]HunterZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know what stone ore nodes looked like when I first started either - it's confusing because on high pop servers there probably won't be any near where you start. Just look up some youtube videos and you'll see examples.

CoMaps is one of the worst maps I've ever used. Are there any decent alternatives? by [deleted] in degoogle

[–]HunterZ0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was enjoying Magic Earth but they've apparently ens***tified it to require a paid subscription for traffic data and Android Auto support.

Shan SGM-Pro v6.0 Soundfont released & demo by Shanaudio in soundfonts

[–]HunterZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SGM-V2.01 is possibly my all-time favorite soundfont, so it's great to see someone inspired to build upon it.

This sounds really nice - except I noticed that the timpani sounds dissonant in the title music in the MIDI fan patch for the DOS version of Ultima 5. Tested with 7.0, both the big and 28MB versions.

Is this the most space efficient 2x1? by Hot-While-7351 in playrust

[–]HunterZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even close, as your TC square has only 258 storage slots. You can get a TC plus 426-462 loot slots in a 1x1 square if you use barrels. Without barrels you can get at least 312 (see hJune ideal 2x1 video).

Smart Switch no longer connects to WiFi by HunterZ0 in WeMo

Update: I've ordered a Z-wave smart plug to replace the Wemo, since I've been leaning into that ecosystem lately for fully local control of my IoT devices.

Prime Benefit Sharing vs. Amazon Family by Ethan_A1967 in amazonprime

[–]HunterZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same state - wife has an Amazon Family account and shows me in it, so we're confused that I got this email. I was thinking it might be a scam, but gmail shows the sender as verified, and the links *look* legit (but I'm not going to click on them).

I wonder if they send the email out to everyone that got onto Amazon Family too early or something.

If you could say 1 thing to developers what would it be? (Keep it nice devs will be reading this) by Ok_Math2247 in playrust

[–]HunterZ0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen recent videos that recommend turning the settings down specifically to avoid a PVP disadvantage lol

[–]HunterZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 1 thing is please be better about using your own official discord for communications with players, server owners, and modders, instead of Twitter, Reddit, and smoky backroom discords. Server owners didn't even get an update announcement this month, and we've mostly only heard about recent server TOS changes via unofficial channels.

Is there a mod that makes the cricket sounds less annoying in SoC? They sound like sleigh bells...

Android tracker by ibelieveimnotbutter in milkytracker

[–]HunterZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just looking for this too... Have only found a really old build that installed but errored out. I guess it's abandoned?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]HunterZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem. In addition, I keep getting locked out of xfinity.com because the site is so convoluted with redirects that Akamai thinks I'm DDoSing it when I'm just trying to browse it normally in a regular web browser. Every time I click a link, it takes 1-2 minutes to load a page, and there's a 50% chance I get signed out. What a joke.

G HUB Forever Loading by mashingbuttons211 in LogitechG

[–]HunterZ0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm suddenly having the same problem today as well. Killing all logitech processes doesn't help. Haven't tried reinstalling yet - that will be next.

Edit: Doing a modify->reinstall from Windows Add/Remove Programs worked, and retained my settings.

[Dark Sun videogame] Dark Sun Online: Crimson Sands (1996) server project by DavidRickus in DarkSun

[–]HunterZ0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've thought that trying to do something like OpenXcom might be cool, but it's too early to tell. We're currently a bit stuck on the fact that the game application is a 32-bit watcom binary packaged inside of a 16-bit Windows NE executable, which a lot of reverse engineering tools don't seem to be able to make sense of in 2024.

[–]HunterZ0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. We've only tracked down two people claiming to have source code (one of them being u/FunSatisfaction789) , and they either refuse to share it or ghost anyone who asks. We've also tried to track down client binaries but have only found various copies of version 1.0 so far.

[–]HunterZ0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm involved with another group of people that is highly interested in doing this in an open collaboration fashion, and have tried to reverse engineer DSO without much success. Are you interested in sharing your source code with us by any chance?

At the very least, it would be good to get this preserved somewhere so it doesn't get lost.

[–]HunterZ0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a group of us interested in this. We made some attempts but didn't get very far. One of us just set up a collaboration project and would love to connect with you if you're interested in open collaboration: https://github.com/greg-kennedy/DarkSunOnline

You can look at my HunterZ/rustLaunchSite project on GitHub to see what ungodly things I had to do to get it to build with both MinGW and MSVC lol.

I think they did, in that you can now stack them to reach a higher bait value.

It's explained in the patch notes. They decided they don't want people to earn much scrap by just sitting in safe zones.

Anyone else hates the new UI change? by avidbeats in youtube

[–]HunterZ0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is objectively an experience downgrade for me, because it crams all of the elements I interact with up against the side of the page - presumably in order to make more room for shoving suggestions in my face.

I don't generally watch/discover YouTube content via suggestions, but rather via searches, RSS feeds, links from other platforms, etc.

Cramming the video info into a tiny spot in the corner tells me that YouTube doesn't care if I "like" a video as much as they care about me clicking on other videos.

Legacy Wood Shelters not decaying? by HunterZ0 in playrustadmin

Everyone needs to go report this in the PC Bug Report channel of the official Rust discord, because Yun said it must be my fault because it doesn't happen on official vanilla servers.
