I've been modding a game for a few days and not on here as much. What's your excuse friend?

Everyone on Lemmy is a bot but you!

Hi. I finally 100% Jacob and Esau on hard mode and now I’m coming back up for air. Now only the lost remains.. sigh. Oh and all the tainted characters. Sigh.

[–] Shimitar@feddit.it 3 points 2 months ago

Not a bot. Maybe. Funke.

Since you were modding Cataclysm, I'm oblidged to say hi. Hi! I'm an author of the original vehicles mod that became core before the DDA. That was hella long ago. https://github.com/gremour/Cataclysm

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You legend! Thanks for your contributions.

I'm so nervous about attempting to do pull requests. It is the first time I've ever really considered doing so, and it opens me up to certain vulnerabilities that could have real world consequences.

There are a lot of oddities I don't understand like the mechanism for a terrain connection across z-layers, how the pickaxe mines a rock_large and terrain, the total scope of why a spear or other melee weapon is so fundamentally different from firearms when it comes to attaching mods, or even things like why most items in JSON are so scattered across multiple files for menu namespaces, construction, use, and uncrafting. Anyways, it is daunting to wrap my head around and feel any kind of confidence when I'm entirely self taught and never share my ugly scripts or code. I've probably reinvented so many square wheels that there is no point in sharing, or so it feels some times.

[–] Gremour@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That's ok. The codebase changed a lot since that time when most of the code was written by original author, Whales. There were no JSONs, all the stuff was hardcoded. It's much larger project nowadays.

Kudos for diving into the code and having interest in the project. Such games really benefit from passionate modders like you.

Hi. I am totally not a bot and 100% a real human.

Am I weird if I'm not interested in deadlock because it feels too much like overswatch, and I'm still angry? I should just move on, I know, I'll work on it. Thanks for listening. Cheers!

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I was interested in deadlock BECAUSE it felt like Overwatch with MOBA elements....but it turns out it's just a MOBA with a "similar" aesthetic to OW. And unfortunately, I don't like MOBAs so it's not for me!

Not trashtalking it here or anything. Just don't want you avoiding the game because you have the wrong idea about how it plays like I did

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I liked OW1, hated OW2, and am in love with Deadlock. The similarities are superficial, it plays very differently!

Also a lurker and casual commenter. I have mad imposter syndrome so I always feel others know more and/or have already seen it.

[–] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Hi, not a bot, just mostly a lurker

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago
