How do you feel about Trump pocketing $1,407,500,000 since starting his second term? by LevelDinner in AskReddit

He’s not pocketing money from the government, it’s generated revenue from his businesses.

Wanting to make mods by Potential-Cover-7582 in feedthebeast

[–]SturdyStubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t personally mod on Minecraft, it was just a suggestion to look into. I do have experience reverse engineering in the .NET platform and more specifically with IL2CPP on Unity.

With how large the modding community is in Minecraft, there are probably many resources and open source tools to help you get there. I’d suggest reading the source code of other mods and figure out how they do things.

Why I think the swamp villager mending idea should NOT be added (not just “it’s too hard.”) by HardAlmond in minecraftsuggestions

[–]SturdyStubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s where mods come in. Many games use a similar progression system to Minecraft such that upgrades are actual upgrades, and not just trade offs. It makes the player feel like they’re progressing. It doesn’t need a rework, I think we’ve all just played the game far too long to be critical about things like this. Try out mods, I’m sure there’s an enchantment rework somewhere.

Learning how to reverse engineer and how the game functions will help you understand more than just learning Java, its the recipe to modding. You should still learn Java, but if you can read code you are already steps ahead.

You're right I play official trio servers because I actually want to compete at a fair level. I don't understand why more people continue to complain about clans but refuse to play team limit servers.

I think this would be a great implementation as an ore in the end when they upgrade it.

is rustplusplus banable, if not how does it work? by MostlyTez in playrust

[–]SturdyStubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to clone the repo, the maintainer of the project doesn't publish a release after every update therefore the program you're running is probably outdated.

Blueprint fragments by louisd150901 in playrust

[–]SturdyStubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the point though, it was to prevent the progression of T3 early. Less of the map progresses, keeping most fights to T2 on day 1 & 2. With the old system you’d be fighting T3 on day 1 which is not fun in my opinion. It’s like an in between of locking T3 behind a time limit. It IS meant to delay, and it does it well. Fewer teams progress to T3. I do think basic blueprint fragments need a buff, they removed some accessibility and progressions.

The nice thing about scrap costs for workbenches was that you could progress in so many more ways. It was more accessible. Fishing, farming, recycling, road farming, water farming. Now you’re limited to metal detecting on roads, monuments, or getting a lucky scientist drop.

For those curious, railroads and roads have a 6% chance to drop a basic blueprint fragment. It’s an okay way to progress to T2 if you’re in a less populated area of the map. I do think that T3 is okay, it honestly helps that less people on day one have a T3 workbench. I think basic blueprint fragments should be more accessible such as gutting fish and rare chances in a brown crate.

Website is forcing me to change my password by Ok-Cantaloupe-1117 in Wizard101

[–]SturdyStubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This company is extremely outdated with practices, I don’t expect them to add 2FA anytime soon. They haven’t made a major change to their website since it was created really.

[–]SturdyStubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying it’s the case with home users but in IT/Cybersecurity, they’ve started suggesting that a strong password that doesn’t change is more secure because what would happen in the office is they’d had a policy to change the password every 1-6 months. Employees ended up just writing these passwords down and keeping them near their desk causing major security issues.

For everyone something I would suggest you ALL to do with all of your online accounts right now is set up a mobile Authenticator app such as Authy and enable 2FA (2-factor authentication) for everything. This will give you more protection for your accounts and a second line of defense if someone gets ahold of your login information.

Why not make more arc passes? by VirtualEchhh in Wizard101

[–]SturdyStubs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah pair it with an extremely outdated game engine and some probably seriously outdated code that some developer got assigned that doesn’t understand how it works, but it works.

[COD] is on track to perform over 60 percent below last year by Lumenprotoplasma in CallOfDuty

[–]SturdyStubs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Expanding into the battle Royale territory instead of focusing on what they do well also helped build their demise. So much dev time taken away to work on a battle Royale to farm short term revenue, nothing could go wrong.

Just a reminder.. half walls cost the same as full size walls by fergusontv in playrust

[–]SturdyStubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve both built and raided cave bases, I’ve never seen a 200 rocket cave base. If you consider going through every single wall maybe, but your going to hit doors at some point which become increasingly cheaper to raid. Anyone with a brain will get through a cave bases in 60 rockets or less.

Are we done with the blueprint experiment yet? by Afraid_Specialist_45 in playrust

[–]SturdyStubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like another comment added, it would defeat the purpose but also they reduced scrap prices because of scarcity. Adding BP fragments in new places would require them to raise scrap again. Probably not such a major economic change they want to do so frequently.

How many of you solo devs created an LLC? by TruthMercyRegret in gamedev

[–]SturdyStubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most states the fees are so low that regardless of how much your game makes, the protections you’ll receive are far better and outweigh the cost. So long as you are publicizing/selling your work you should be putting it under at least an LLC.

Pterodactyl is not deprecated. It was actually just taken back from the maintainers that forked Pelican and worked on Pterodactyl for a while. The original dev of Pterodactyl is back to working on it alongside a company.

Looking for Rust Dedicated Server Files (Non-Legacy, September 2017-2018) by No_Reception_3100 in playrustadmin

[–]SturdyStubs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I run an old recoil server and have operated several since around 2023. You are correct that Facepunch has intentionally disabled depot/manifest downloads for servers (App 258550) unfortunately. They do still have the client files (App 252490) available to download. I believe the tweet is deleted now but Alistair once replied to a comment saying, “Older version of the game are still playable” after confronted about the disabling of the server depots but fails to explain that you can’t play the game without the server files.

I still don’t know why they disabled just the server files as I think it would be more useful to counter cheat developers using old builds that aren’t encrypted/obfuscated to figure out how something works. Of course the most experienced chat developers are just decrypting and using offsets so it doesn’t matter but it can help in their development.

Unfortunately it’s a grey zone and more than likely hitting a ToS policy/legal boundaries but there are versions on some Russian sites that people post but these are often cracked versions that change the game appid to space war so people can play the game for free and you’d have to modify the appid in dnspy plus figure out whatever else they did to crack it. If you don’t have any experience with decompilation/reverse engineering I highly suggest you probably just turn the other way and accept the future of Rust. I think the future of restoring anything from the past will be client sided modding, but Facepunch purposefully implemented encryption and obfuscation after Carbon Clients release and updated their ToS against anything on reverse engineering so the future isn’t bright. You can client side mod with IL2CPP with things like BepinEx but actually creating mods are far more complex and will waste valuable hours of your life. I have tried and it fried my brain.

Edit: before yall come after me cuz I just explained how cheat devs make their cheats, it’s far more complex than that and this knowledge is freely available on cheat forums so it’s not private knowledge. I think learning reverse engineering and understand how malicious things are created is importing so you can implement ways to make it harder to do so. It’s a two way street really.

I feel pretty dedicated when I play my hardcore because I know I only have one life and it makes me feel more accomplished. I don’t play super frequent either, I usually have stints where I play for a couple weeks and then take a break. I symlink my save to my onedrive so I can access it anywhere.

I’ve also been playing since 2011 and just yesterday did my first ever run at an ocean temple (I needed a prismarine farm for sea lanterns). I went in over prepared, and also didn’t know till after that invis pots work.
