coming up with fucked up and evil ideas for modded balatro jokers

[nerdynerdlittlenerd]

a new world, lets see where i go!

[antirepurp]

unsurprisingly i had to once again join a modding discord to find the relevant information i need instead of that information being listed somewhere that'd be easy to access. hell world moment

[fingertip-radiance]

i've been making a mod for a game i like recently and the developer of the modloader is super active in their discord, which is really nice

but the thing is. she goes by "Miss" online

so any time someone talks about her in 3rd person it sounds like she's their domme or something

"oh no you don't have to worry, Miss made accommodations for that"

"but what will Miss say when she sees that?"

the day they made minecraft modding less easy was the day everything went to shit and im so serious

[way-to-go-you-funky-little-blue]

part of what got me started (at least in programming) was the autism hyperfocus but the biggest enabler was just an easy and convenient place to start

like if your easiest place to start is fucking around in Lua using computercraft then go wild

because if you feel like you're getting overwhelmed by something going 'okay to get started you have to install these 15 things, change system settings, and okay all these boxes' meanwhile you just want to Start Somewhere, then that might keep you from actually starting, and it's much better to find something that works than it is to keep yourself from ever actually beginning because of analysis paralysis or anxiety avoidance or something

which leads me to: try Python, it's a relatively friendly place to start, there's multiple online tutorial places for it (though i can't vouch for any one in particular), there's generally a lot less having to go around dealing with fuckery to just get it working, and if you want to avoid installing something to start there's Jupyter and Google Colab that let you just do stuff in your web browser (hell i've even used the latter at uni)

beyond language specifics, one of the biggest things of it (at least for me) is admitting to myself that 'hey i have no idea how to do this' and going and asking questions, whether i'm asking That One Friend Who Knows The Things That Work or just a search engine, or checking the documentation, or even something like stack exchange or a discussion forum about the language

there's also having to understand that it doesn't need to be optimized 100%, like, you can make something that maybe could be faster or could use less memory or could be more intuitive, but don't let your fear of not being good at it keep you from doing the thing, because you can optimize a solution that works, but you can't just deliver a nonexistent solution

i get that there's a lot more to it, and the whole "Excellence is not an art, it's a habit. We are what we repeatedly do." really factors into just, knowing how to do stuff, knowing how to do it quickly, but everyone has to start somewhere, and the time's going to pass anyways, just always have to be ready to learn from it and get better

Hi Maia! Do you have any tips for getting started in programing and Computer Science in general? I've wanted to get into the field but just, don't know where to start cause it all feels like a lot vnv

i always struggle answering questions like this cause like i basically got into this stuff just via autism hyperfocus and self learning that way and forcing my way through it like that, but im gonna post this anyways so maybe people in the notes will have better input!!

the dol modding community has to be one of the least helpful, unorganized communities ever it legitimately makes me want to kms

information is strewn about amongst several different channels with no correlation and it makes me feel like i’m going crazy

[girlballs]

tmodloader actually stands for transgender modloader. it loads beautiful women into your game

[mysims-mod]

MySims Modloader is here!!

ThuverX alongside some other members of the community have been working on cracking MySims modding wide open and recently the first version of the MySims Modloader has been released!

It's really exciting to see how far modding has come for this game, and I can't wait to see what comes next!

You can visit the GitHub page linked above for a download and instructions on making some mods!

Remember these guys?

Alarm Zombies were a point of concern for quite some time because for no curable reason, they just straight up failed in multiplayer.

They would be invisible, be unhittable, and be a nightmare for the prosperity and hopes of this mod. Those screenshots were taken in December 19, 2024.

But I believe - barring any and all paranoid worries - they are finally fixed, even though I had to modify and "subclass" the Zombie entity just to do it.

You can't see it here, but this last image is a picture of a working SMP Alarm Zombie in contrast to my 2024/early-2025 broken ones. Though honestly I wish they just would make the way to add custom new enemies to ModLoaderMp understood so I could implement these things the way I tried to in the first place.

Mod development tonight was kind of a fiasco...

the issue with saying "im learning to mod minecraft" is that people will assume you dont know how to downlaod a modloader or a mod when you actually mean "im learning how to make my own mods for minecraft" (which is a much longer phrase and more annoying to type) so they will tell you how to download mods. when that is not what you need to know

[moonsinkfoxgirl]

don't think this will show up in search engines and the like but I should probably at least attempt to document this for posterity:

so if you have a video game e.g. Touhou 6 running on linux with wine, and there exists a patch for it that exists as a .dll file that goes in its folder, e.g. the EoSD Focus-Only Hitbox Patch with its d3d8.dll

and so you put it in the folder and it just doesn't do anything, then the reason it does not might be that wine simply decided to not use that dll file and is instead running its built-in d3d8.dll file

so all you need to do to fix this is go into winecfg (just type that in the terminal) and add a dll override for this telling it to run the native one before it tries the built-in one

and you DO NOT have to waste 3 hours of your life trying to install different patches over highly complicated modloaders that require bizarre .net version configurations to run correctly, you DO NOT need to f*ck around with thcrap, you can just do these handful of clicks and it will simply work!

Webfishing - how do you mod it?

There's a couple mod loaders, but i recommend using this one. It's very user friendly and easy to set up, and the video does a good job explaining most of the process.

The mod loader also requires you install the .NET 8.0 SDK x64. The modloader should give you a popup that takes you to the download page but this doesn't always work. Make sure it's this exact SDK, the 9.0 version does not work! To test if your installed mods work, you can quickly set up a single player lobby.

Lastly, this is the modlist I'm using in the server I'm about to set up. If you want to join you should at least have the weblake mod working.

can you imagine being able to recommend your average joe sonic adventure by just showing them a steam or eshop store page for the dc version that fans have had running perfectly on pc for years instead of having to tell people that they need to do open-heart surgery if they want to not get yanked through the floor collision in the first 15 minutes of the game.

>sonic team selling a dreamcast sonic adventure model as a preorder bonus for sonic shadow generations

>they still won’t get off their asses and legally sell the version of the game that model is from instead of having a dogshit broken port of a port of a port being the one everyone knows

genuinely can you cunts explode already
