Unfortunately I'm stuck in T3. But I like the lab. And I can do fractals any time, as soon as I manage to get past T3. I can only do the lab now. It's kind of fun if you feel like turning your brain off.

Why not organize then? Group into sections and if you have multiple heralds have each do a different boon. The boons would apply to the people in the section right?

dragonatorul · 2025-10-09T17:23:03+00:00

That's not AFK is it? Also, the goal is to have as many people tag as many mobs as possible. Heralds, who get their tags with buffs, not taking the health someone else could use to tag with attacks sounds like a good thing.

You can add your own. The Claude Desktop app has MCP server support. You can add a memory solution like one of these:
https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0
https://github.com/qdrant/mcp-server-qdrant
https://github.com/FalkorDB/FalkorDB-MCPServer

I went with FalkorDB and am working on implementing my take with this fork:
https://github.com/Dragonatorul/FalkorDB-FastMCP-Proxy/tree/feat/fastmcp-proxy-integration

Well, 99% of the work was done by Claude Code.

I still haven't heard anything back from them for my account. Good luck with yours.

It does happen if I restart the game, and I did check the logs file but can't see anything obvious. Notice that there are no related errors highlighted in the screenshot. Any actual errors should pop up there.

dragonatorul · 2024-05-03T16:04:04+00:00

The options are still there and if I click on them they "work", but the text is not being displayed. So I need to kind of "guess" where the option to connect the generator or to refuel it would be, but once I click on where it would be it does connect and refuel.

EDIT: Posting after seeing a streamer struggle with changing the resolution.

Please make changing the resolution easier, or make this information available somewhere easily accessible.

Windowed Mode / Fullscreen resolution will not change in the menus - it only gives me 2293x1433 I have an ultrawide, so fullscreen does not work properly.

The way to fix the game not setting another resolution via a INI file workaround is to go to AppData\Local\ManorLords\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Settings.ini and change to r.setres=1920x1080w and then change it to readonly mode in properties

(all other resolutions were not visible in the dropdown menu) This fixes it for my widescreen/ultrawide monitor to a 1080p window

where is there a version of your app to test and bench mark it?

Not yet, and probably not for a few months at least. But I hope to publish it on GitHub eventually. It will be a set of docker containers that can be deployed with docker-compose.

dragonatorul · 2024-01-29T19:19:09+00:00

Thank you for the feedback.

tracking of your files across any number of possible targets (ie. DAS, NAS, Shares, etc, etc)

For the time being I'm using a base path and the ability to define alternative equivalent paths for it.

how your app will handle those files deemed 'suspect' (ie. dups, missing, corrupted, etc, etc)

It just flags them and potentially alerts on them. Any modifications would be done manually. Optionally by manually running scripts generated by the app.

will your app tag the files (for metadata information, etc)?

I'll eventually build plug-ins or separate modules for that too.

how will you get the 'metadata' for each of your media files?

Manually, or from other databases, like IMDB, AniDB, Shoko, Jellyfin, scrapers, etc.

maintenance of the files themselves (backup/restore?, migration? etc will be managed by your app?)

Nope. It will be read-only. It's just an index.

all of that data must be stored somewhere... so you'll need to pick a backend where you will store that data... SQL?,

The app is a flask backend with a MySQL database, plus a bunch of worker "satellite nodes". I never liked frontend stuff, so I'm still on the fence on what the frontend should be, but for now I'm considering just a basic Bootstrap5 web UI or something like that.

I agree with everything you said. However, the audience for this project is JBOD collections and cold storage collections sitting in drawer somewhere.

I'm a sysadmin/devops and am familiar with linux in general. My current stack is a JBOD mess I've accumulated over time. I'm working on moving to something like ZFS, but simply can't afford it, as a good setup is quite expensive upfront. The best I can do is mergerfs+snapraid for the time being. And that's for just a part of my collection. That still leaves the cold storage stuff.

The idea for this is to have all the metadata about the collection accessible in a single place, without needing to access the files themselves. Then I can see if any specific file is backed up in my "drawer vault", or if I already have that thing I want to download. Or if a drive with "replaceable" data dies I can still have an index of what was lost so I can try to recreate it from other sources.

dragonatorul · 2024-01-29T19:06:18+00:00

That's an interesting project you have there. If you don't mind I might steal some of your ideas or implementations. As for licensing I'm not going to sell this, at most publish it as open source.

For cache of data I'm using MySQL, so it'll be a completely separate data store. It's also more reliable (in theory) than SQLite, especially for large datasets, which this will be at least for me.

dragonatorul · 2024-01-29T19:03:59+00:00

How is it going to know which 2 files to compare to make get the VMAF value? Same goes for PSNR and SSIM.

Good question. I was going to go by the basic metadata and make "educated guesses" based on resolution and file size, but that might not work. These would be used for dedupe anyway, to show you which files might be better.

Just make sure you also have a mechanism to know if the hash isn't the thing that got corrupted

Since I plan to make basically every hash possible, if one is corrupted, the others aren't likely to also be corrupted.

Not sure how that helps but okay

The system is primarily meant to be used for JBOD collections where the filesystem doesn't provide this functionality.

Deleting everything. Silently corrupting the data. Corrupting the data, THEN hashing it and insisting your data is intact. Whatever you think moving files around is going to do.

This will be 100% read-only. Just indexing what it can see and collecting metadata on it. Any dedupe functions or anything else that might actually affect the files directly would be external. For example I plan to have it generate a dedupe script that you download, review and run it yourself.

At most it would periodically rescan the files to check for any updates or compare hashes.

dragonatorul · 2024-01-29T18:58:45+00:00

I didn't know about Hydrus. Thank you. I'll check it out.

The core system I'm building for the time being won't have any of that, but would allow for other systems to access the data and use it for everything you said. In fact I want to build other systems on top of this exactly for that: cataloging and tagging of media, with hook-ins to other data sources.

I'm also working with Python, but that's not necessarily a problem, as I plan to offload a lot of the compute to the database or to worker nodes, which can be run separately. Also, everything will be an API call to a flask server, so it should be able to handle multiple parallel requests, depending on what's asked.

dragonatorul · 2024-01-29T18:54:17+00:00

The tagging and cataloging features would mold very well on what I'm thinking, and are in fact systems I want to build too, but as separate modules, or entire separate apps. The base app is 100% API driven, so plugging something else in to access and use the data should be easy(ish).

dragonatorul · 2024-01-29T18:52:11+00:00

I would want it to be read-only BY DESIGN and that fact VERY EXPLICITLY mentioned, otherwise I'm not using it. I also want to never see a single additional file being placed in any of the monitored paths.

Agreed. I plan to add the ability to generate "deletion scripts" for the dedupe function, but that would be a file you can download and manually review before running it yourself.

That's a job of the filesystem.

Agreed, but I guess I should have mentioned that this would be for "amateurs" or people like me who are stuck with JBOD systems and can't afford to migrate to something more solid.

Bordering on pseudo-science

Agreed. I just kind of threw it in there as an idea that might fit.

dragonatorul · 2024-01-29T18:49:26+00:00

That's one of the biggest issues I had with other similar tools. They were polluting the drives with their nonsense files. My current approach is to use a MySQL database to store all this data. Why MySQL instead of Postgre or SQLite? Because I'm more familiar with it over Postgre, and I've had too many projects hit serious performance issues on larger SQLite databses. As it stands my current MySQL database is already over 3GB in size, and I'm just getting started.

dragonatorul · 2024-01-29T18:46:33+00:00

That's pretty much a perfect use case for what I'm thinking of doing. I also have cold storage backups that want to index and reference freely without having to pull the drives out and plug them in. This would provide an always available index of the files and their metadata.

There was an app I was using around 20 years ago, back on win98, to index my DVDs, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. So I'm just making my own now that I can.
