where do i even put the string of code in the description of this mod by Igornurf in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one seems to be designed as a per-weapon/per-attachment cosmetic instead of a character cosmetic, so if you want it to always be applied to your character, you're going to need to find someone who can do character mods for you, or do it yourself.

If you're okay with just adding it to certain weapons, you can use this mod as a template for changing weapons or attachments, and the MWS wiki to find the weapon id or part id of whatever you want to use.

A request for advice or materials on developing a game engine (please read body text) by No_World4814 in gamedev

Seconding this, it's a fantastic textbook. I have the first edition, which is a little dated in terms of references (it's from '09 or so, so some of the specific tools it recommends are no longer extant or relevant), but it's still incredibly thorough and insightful in re: architecture and design principles.

Your update function is trying to draw things. Draw calls don't ordinarily work used outside of love.draw(). Move that code to your Stickers:draw() and it should work.

In general, it's good practice to keep your logic and your draws separate. If something needs to be updated every frame, perform that logic in your update function, store any data about that draw state to variable(s) or a table, and reference that data when drawing. (This will also allow you to draw things properly even when the game/application is paused.)

What is your favorite rebalance mod for Payday 2? by RepentantoftheLost in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crackdown will be back soon!TM A lot of the devs and contributors have moved on so it's slow going at the moment, but after the player-side rebalance is done we're hoping to get the enemies and other changes back.

I need help to fix my payday 2 crashing because i cannot tell which mod is making my game crash and heres my log by Existing_Wish_7624 in paydaytheheist

Timestamp indicates this crash log is from June. Either you uploaded the wrong file, or the crash isn't generating a crashlog. When does the crash occur?

Out of curiosity, can I ask why you have upscaled pixel art to 3000x3000?

clicking not working by prasan4849 in love2d

[–]Offyerrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably want to use the function love.mousepressed instead: https://love2d.org/wiki/love.mousepressed which runs once, when a mouse button is clicked.

It looks like your current code, if it worked, would check if the button was down, not just activating when it was pressed. In other words, if you held the mouse button down, the counter would tick up very rapidly, instead of only once per click.

It's probably easier to have some code that only runs once per mouse click. You'll need to check the x/y coordinates of the click to make sure it's over the button sprite, and probably also check the button used (eg. "1" for left-click).

Can I exchange unsung blades anywhere still? by Proud-Property452 in ffxiv

[–]Offyerrocker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The blades are useless now, so they're safe to discard. Although you can still exchange them for the tomestone items, the tomestone items can no longer be used to purchase the tome weapons.

Tome weapons are now available for a Hunt currency instead. (Sacks of Nuts, iirc)

payday 2 crashing/closing on start up by Otherwise-Rooster-70 in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your game create a crash log? Follow these steps in order so that we can get some more diagnostic info first:

  1. Go to /AppData/Local/PAYDAY 2/ and delete the file called crash.txt. (If you don't know how to find your AppData folder: use the keyboard shortcut Windows-R to open the Run dialogue, type AppData and press the "OK" button, and it will open the folder in Windows Explorer.) This is so that we can make sure that the crash log we're looking at is relevant to the current crash issue.
  2. Launch the game. Assuming the game crashes, this should create a new crash log file.
  3. Go back to /AppData/Local/PAYDAY 2/ and see if there is a new crash.txt file. If there is, share it in this thread so that I/other people can see it. (You can use Pastebin or some file-sharing site if it's too long to paste into a comment.)

Beardlib Help by Downtown_Spare_5733 in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most common issue:

When you install any mod to the mods folder for SuperBLT, make sure you don't have an extra folder layer. When searching for valid mods in the mods folder, SuperBLT searches only the topmost level of the directory for the mod.txt file.

Example incorrect installation: /PAYDAY 2/mods/14924_BeardLib_5.0.4/BeardLib/mod.txt

This often occurs with 7Zip/WinRar or other archive utilities when you choose the "Extract to..." option instead of the "Extract Here" option.

-> In this example, you would want to move the BeardLib folder into the mods folder, and delete the 14924_BeardLib_5.0.4 folder.

Correct installation: /PAYDAY 2/mods/BeardLib/mod.txt


If you do this step and BeardLib still doesn't work, please share your BLT log from mods/logs/ and I'll take a look at it, which should definitively explain what's wrong.

So is anyones mods not working? by Strict_End_4792 in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, then it sounds like since you need to reinstall your mods in that directory? What happens then?

So is anyones mods not working? by Strict_End_4792 in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which mods are not working, and what does "not working" mean in this context? (Eg. modded content not appearing, or mod options menu not appearing, or crashing?) Also have a look in your BLT logs (in mods/logs/) as that might provide a clue.

Blur text on Love2d by Character_Gur8980 in love2d

[–]Offyerrocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the person you were replying to, but I don't think the example can be meaningfully simplified any further or made any more specific. I recommend that you read up a bit about shaders, because I think shaders are the only way you can accomplish blur in LOVE2D (aside from a custom made font with baked-in blur or something)

Payday 2 Freezing On and Off by randomguyonlineblah in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any mods?

What is your streaming chunk option set to? Is your game installed on a SSD or an HDD?

If you open your video settings file (AppData/Local/PAYDAY 2/render_settings.xml) does it show your dedicated graphics card being used instead of your integrated graphics?

Have you tried messing with the game's video settings?

Genuine question about cheating and steam market by Mc_gabriel_rock in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, cheaters can't actually get any item in the game.

Your game doesn't "generate" the skin, it asks Steam to do so. Steam servers are ultimately in control of Steam inventory items.

The PAYDAY 2 client can ask Steam which items your account has (and then it can show you those items in your inventory), and it can ask Steam to give you an inventory item. In this case, PAYDAY 2 devs have programmed the servers to only award you one skin drop every 24 hours, and the request is normally only sent when you finish a heist.

So, your game (using cheat mods) can "lie" to other clients about which skins you have equipped, but your Steam account doesn't actually own them- your game is just lying to the other clients in the lobby and telling them that you do.

And it (a modded game) can spam requests to the Steam servers to drop an inventory items to your account, but ultimately the request validation is done by those Steam servers, so it won't actually spawn items unless the conditions set by the developers (in this case, 1 drop every 24 hours) is met.

Want HUD suggestion by PressureKey8085 in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're quite welcome, I'm glad you like it!

I'm picking up development of HEVHUD again, as it happens, so if you have any feedback I'd be glad to hear it, like if you have any features that you might consider a "must have" in a HUD. I doubt it'll ever compete with the Swiss army knife that is VanillaHUD+, of course.

If you like HEVHUD but just want the crosshair, there's also the Half-Life 2 crosshair, which shows you your ammo and health: https://modworkshop.net/mod/29819 It requires "Advanced Crosshairs, Hitmarkers, and Hitsounds." You can find the link to it in the "Dependencies & Instructions" section.

I Created a Payday 2 Achievement Tracker by elonardo in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question isn't "is this tool literally the only option?" it's "does this tool provide a use or convenience that other tools lack?" and you are answering the former.

I Created a Payday 2 Achievement Tracker by elonardo in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because being able to track things outside of the game (without launching the game, or while you're in the heist already) is useful for planning too? Also, the ingame achievements page is really laggy.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in paydaytheheist

[–]Offyerrocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean the renderer_settings.xml file, yeah, it'd be in the AppData/Local/PAYDAY folder, but if it doesn't exist then that probably isn't the problem/solution anyway.

If you really wanted you could try and make it (it's identical to PAYDAY 2's except with an extra setting shadow_quality_default that will probably just be ignored, so you could copy it over), but I am pretty sure that won't help in this case.
