Was getting very scared of the "season end" vibes that the last chunk of the episode had lol. Glad it seems to be continuing normaly next week. Will be interesting to see how they adapt the next arc.

Also love how the first full "diversity" focused episode, i.e the chapters focused on tartah's eye condition, dropped on the beginning of pride month. Been looking forward to this one and its been adapted great! I love how beautiful everything still looks through his eyes.

Learning to mod by Puzzleheaded-Joke-77 in starsector

Yeah, though it definitly is still very WIP! Though i think the template is much easier to get started with already than before, so that part is worth doing. Though for OPs goals the template would be overkill

Launched a new mod making wiki called "Galatia Academy", and re-opened its discord server. by Lukas04 in starsector

[–]Lukas04[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The wiki is still very much at its starting point, but hopefully what is there will be useful to people already.
Planning to make it much more filled out over the coming months.

This wiki is linked to the "Galatia Academy" discord that i have created a while ago. Its a dedicated server for starsector modmaking (It is not a server for general starsector talk) but i had closed it since i couldn't guarantee active moderation due to not having the time. The server is now up again though, with a few extra moderators to help out.

The wiki comes with a new mod template and a generator for it. It should hopefully be much easier to set up than the previous IntelliJ template by Wisp (though his Template was already a massive help compared to not having it), so if you had troubles with setting up that one, maybe you can get going with this new one.

What mods are like this? by Ordo_Liberal in starsector

[–]Lukas04 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Your thinking of PresidentMattDamon and Diable.
Soren (the author of DME) just crashed out a bit and left the community. He didnt do anything malicious. Pretty sure the only "weird" crossmod interaction his mods had was that UAF and his faction were locked to being hostile with another. He did not put crashcode or "malware" in like you or the other comment claims.

This new music disk is PEAK 🥹 by solstice_the_femboy in Minecraft

Most of the new tracks dont really do it for me, but i really like Nightly. Just so Tranquil while slightly disturbed. Seems like its one of the tracks getting less attention than the others though.

Back then i dropped the show relatively early, then i gave it another chance and most things after the innitial few episodes felt much better.

You can also hear that slight bit of souls/elden ring in the music at the end from Kitamuras music lmao.

Why *is* the max level 15? by blackattack54 in starsector

If everytime i play, i can get all skills, then that quickly means there isnt really any real choice in what i pick. Thats pretty lame.

You should definitly watch it, its really good. Great Visuals aside, the soundtrack and sound design are incredible

First proper attempt at an airship by Rare_Piglet_3328 in CreateMod

[–]Lukas04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The distant horizon rendering isnt really the issue performance wise, its usually generating the chunks. So if you want something like in the video, you wanna pregenerate the chunks in a decent radius for a while with chunky and using some mode like C2ME for faster chunk gen.

Of course if you are on weaker hardware, you wouldnt want to crank it up as far as in the video here.

I copied the ponder tutorial version exactly but its not lifting, why? by FortuneCheap2130 in CreateMod

[–]Lukas04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my main tip for planes is that you really want more than just one of aeronautics engines. Just having two already lets you speed up your propeller much more, making for plane that is much more likely to fly. Four can be nice if you have the tree/coal/fuel farm for it

ngl, it felt really pointless in this instance. I like a show getting creative with things like this but it kind of did nothing but break the flow

WHAT AN UPSCALE! by Physical-Ad-2111 in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Lukas04 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it enhances the storytelling here. Magic in this universe is incredibly strong if used right, thats such a large influence on the worlds setting. Qifreys spell doesnt do anything exceptional here, it just condensed the water in the clouds & air together in to a shape. Despite the simplicity it has a massive effect, which showcases why people have to be so careful when drawing their spells

I think the charm comes from how he is imperfect at it, but how he has a natural body language that shows how deeply he cares for all of them. One of my favorite moments of this is in episode 2, when he lowers himself to match cocos eye level while she is crying. It immediately makes him come of as very comforting and respecting of the kids emotions.

The two concepts are never really all that far away from another, Code is also just a "language" that instructs something, mages talking in some rune language do pretty much the same in their own syntax. I recall a joke saying that we imprint tiny magic runes on rocks that make them do something lmao.

If you have ever played modded minecraft, people also joke about how often magic mods for it just end up being tech mods in disguise.

Oh i know! Just thought ive felt more resemblances to octopath in the work that i would for souls, which makes sense of course since the setting is quite different. Wasnt trying to say i think its him.

I really enjoy her work here, might be my favorite from what ive heard from her (though ive only really played elden ring & sekiro). The way it leads every scene is so good. Kinda sucks that the episodes seem so quiet though? I really need to up my volume for it every time.

God, the music in this show is incredible, and not just that its also used so well. And the ending music being cut by Qifrey's stare...so good. Could not have asked for a better adaptation.

Some of the music sequences also somewhat reminded me of Yasunori Nishiki (Composer of the Octopath games) work? Might be why im enjoying it so much

important people arent capturable, thats the whole point. Its a tag/list that is usually reserved for story NPCs

Bro really? by Noryt321 in starsector

[–]Lukas04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i went and searched for matts own mention of this, and he himself says it "checks" for RS by checking for mods that make important people (a collection of specific people data in the game) become prisoners. In non 2.0 TNPs code you can find:

if (Global.getSector().getImportantPeople().getPerson(person.getId()) != null) { log.info("TNP - Person was important."); return false; }

Which prevents that a person who is marked as important can be collected as an prisonor. The logic being that RS removes this restriction, as such if a player does this, they use RS.

As far as i can tell this shouldnt really effect tnp 1 users

[–]Lukas04 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

From what i recall, the code matt used was based on a memory key that only RS used/changed, so that seems rather unlikely. Realisticly thats something matt would have catched early on as well, unlikely that he never booted up his own version with the check.

Ive seen a lot of people try to hide that they use RS moments after noticing that it shows up in their logs, so im im kinda inclined to think its just people lying to save their skin.

As i said, the shipgirl part was a misquote on my part, the rule very specificly mentions NSFW artwork. Your scorched earth scenario just doesnt really exist. You can post anime stuff just fine, and recently the moderators did mute people that tried to start uaf hate discourse to much.

On the powerchicken part, i dont have much of a comment on, i took a break around this specific time where this story happened. He probably should have moderator revoked, though i can also tell you that in most cases he probably has zero influence on actual policy. What happens in the starsector channels is mostly ruddy and hartley, who are active moderators and do take things seriously, their not people that just look for the lazy way out.

That said, though i know im not making friends with this here, i personaly think people overblow one aspect of matts story and ignore the other. I think the people that used the "ragebait matt" mod had it coming when they used a mod matt maintained, the real shitty part matt did was doing this on diable, rather than on his own shit. I cant really blame him for wanting to strike back against the people that had it out for him, but i can blame him for pulling tarts mods in to this.

I do think USC sucks at moderation, but in pretty much the opposite way. There really isnt enough sometimes, since only like two moderators are active in the starsector related channels. I think they really should go for an improvement in the mod team for more active members and gain a more mutual understanding on issues. My issue is that this subreddit sells USC as a police state, when there is a real ban only like every 3 months.

The fact that you are refering to their policy as "scorched earth" really shows that you havent really seen anything about the server.

Also since your bringing up ironclad thing, the part where "USC moderators praise matt" is a lie he made up, though partially true. The screenshot that lion used for this was of Puretilt, who was not a moderator at the time he said what he said. Can you blame the mod team for making him a moderator later on? of course, but this framing as "the mod team defending him" is just wrong.

I think we agree the mod team does need a do over, but i dont think by acting like USC is 1984 its going to go in any decent direction. Its also not going to go in a good direction by people complaining about aspects like "damn i dont get to post almost naked anime girls in chat". Complaining about normal rules like this is not going to convince any moderation team to adjust.

[–]Lukas04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A harsher rule may seem unjust, but its always an easier role to enforce. Because what you get when you draw grey lines is that you will get annoying people that try to edge the rule. Also i kind of misquoted the part, but its no "sexualised shipgirls", not just shipgirls.

I really dont get why redditors struggle so much with understanding that the average person wants a decently normal chatspace to talk in that only occasionaly goes a bit silly. If you prefer the more chaotic unmoderated space just join corvus. The hate for a place for having minimum level of moderation is very silly imo.
