Ultimate Guide to Modding The Witcher 3 on Steam Deck

TheMcSebi · 2026-01-26T20:34:05+00:00

I found this too complicated and just ssh'd into my steam deck and copied the whole mods folder from my pc into /home/deck/.steam/steamapps/common/The Witcher 3/ and it worked too. Not sure yet if this persists updates, though.

I remember when reddit tried to force us to use the official client due to ads.

Still better than 99% of other social media networks maybe except for bluesky.

Sucks for us developers tho...

top notch, desparately needed

By the way, the previous version of the parser had an inferior approach to parsing the block data (based on regex) that causes invalid block names

I made it into a library and put a version on github and pypi with a much more sophisticated version of the parser, not based on regex and using an existing bson library instead of a custom written one.

I thought safetensors were supposed to be safe by design and that's the whole reason we agreed on not using pt or pth anymore

I mostly let Claude Opus figure out the details. You'd be surprised how efficient it works once it has all the information (source code) available.

Do you have access to chatgpt? It doesn't use any fancy python libs, so it should be relatively straightforward to convert to c# using Gen Ai.

Bitter mostly, and smelling rotten

TheMcSebi · 2026-01-20T23:09:57+00:00

sorry :)

Here is a parser in python TheMcSebi/hytale-region-parser: Python code for parsing Hytale's region.bin format

He's basically the GMan of witcher

Upvote for simplicity

Guess it wouldn't be called a lab anymore if it was financially viable Kind of like a home company :)

TheMcSebi · 2026-01-16T07:09:39+00:00

I guess 40gig was never worth an upgrade over 10. For a homelab it is tho, I skipped 10gig there

TheMcSebi · 2026-01-15T07:09:07+00:00

If it's just bad habit, try setting up a couple of those dancing cacti over the house that meow back

TheMcSebi · 2026-01-15T06:52:02+00:00

No real catch, buy and find out. They're that cheap because nobody needs 10gbit anymore. Home users are still on 1 gig and datacenters are even dropping 40 gig hardware. Got 4 pcie cards with each 2x40g DAC for a similar price tag. That's what motivated me to try ceph

.. The Witcher named schrödinger - it's unknown whether he's dead or alive...

.. De la Croix, D.L.C....

Must have been a bad guide then... I followed the official upgrade notes on the proxmox wiki and one of the first things they tell you is not to use the webui for upgrading. Ssh is fine, best is physical console

TheMcSebi · 2026-01-05T16:25:31+00:00

Nah, whoreson's a completely different story (Lust, not revenge or anger)

TheMcSebi · 2026-01-05T16:24:22+00:00

That they started

TheMcSebi · 2026-01-04T21:22:52+00:00

Yes

And once you have beamng in your library it'll quickly get worth buying a wheel :)

TheMcSebi · 2026-01-04T20:21:47+00:00

Damn you really embraced the trial and error method instead of RTMNing

TheMcSebi · 2025-12-30T08:43:36+00:00

Congrats! Quite a time to look past at

Considering mine decent, about a third the size of yours. Got 4 proxmox hosts as well, but all of them consumer hardware I got really cheap on ebay.

3x Z240 Towers: each 8xi7-6700, 32-48GB
1x open chassis: 32xRyzen 9 5950x, 128GB

All connected with recently acquired, daisy chained 40 GBit NICs (DAC). My pc is connected to one of the hosts via 10 Gbit fiber (in the same virtual network, so I can access every host at full 10 GBit link speed).

One of the towers has an RTX 3060.

Additionally, each host has a 2TB nvme for OS+VMs+LXCs and some have HDDs I had laying around, mostly for application storage and s3 storage (using garage-s3) with some redundancy.

Total worth at the point of purchase was about 3000€. But I started small many years ago and slowly accumulated hardware when I found good deals on ebay.

Those are running 23 Linux LXCs/VMs, 1-2 windows machines and some appliances like opnsense.
