How do you make mods?

To answer in short terms: Ren’py!

In longer terms, I use a program called Ren’py, which is basically a visual novel game making software, and the software used to create OLBA, along with VS code (you don’t need this though, it was just downloaded on my computer already LOL) to be able to actually view the code itself.

There’s plenty of information about Ren’py itself in forums and their docs, and learning the Ren’py language itself isn’t that difficult if you go through a tutorial or two or already have some preexisting knowledge of the Python coding language.

If you’re looking to make a OLBA mod yourself, this is the way I would do it, not a means to an end, feel free to adapt if you find a way that works easier for you:

Download Ren’py, specifically THIS version, as other versions will not be compatible with OLBA. (You can use 7zip to unzip it)

Crack open Ren’py, and just create a new project, name it whatever you want, just make sure it’s 1080 by 1920, everything else doesn’t matter.

Locate your legitimate game files and feel free to just copy and paste everything from the legitimate OLBA folder into your new project (you can find its folder in documents by default iirc, but if not there, try searching for it by name), don't worry about keeping any of the old files in there, just overwrite all of it.

legitimate game files ↑ new project files ↓

Before you can begin editing the scripts or DLCs however, you need to actually be able to see them. You can't because they are in .rpa files, which are basically secured ren'py folders. To crack them open, do these steps:

Find these files in the "game" folder of your new Ren'py project. The archive.rpa file contains everything in the main game. Depending on what DLCs, if any, you have, you may see additional .rpa files with the titles of the DLC you own.

2. Move these files out into a new folder on your desktop. Download this extractor and place it in the same new folder on your desktop. EX:

2. One by one, drop the files onto the rpaExtract.exe Icon. Afterward, you should get some folders with the names corresponding to the .rpa files and potentially an image folder. (NOTE: the archive.rpa file is not contained in one folder, meaning ALL the files will just appear freely, I recommend moving all the other finished folders back into the "game" folder before you do this one so you don't end up confused/overwhelmed!) (my files, excluding the archive.rpa files)

3. You can just delete the .rpa files now, you won't need them, and put the all new folders/files you got back into the "game" folder.

Now you will be free to go into Ren'py and click "open project" to edit the scripts to your heart's content! At this point, if you're experienced with Ren'py things should be looking a bit more familiar, if not, I recommend watching some ren'py tutorials to learn the ropes or just shoot me a message and I'd be happy to help you out in any way I can.

Lastly, when you finish your mod, if you want to be able to use it in a legitimate game, it depends on whether it's an edit of an existing script or adds a completely new one: If it's an edit, just get whatever files you edited and follow my instructions here in this "how to download OLBA mods tutorial". As for a mod that adds completely new scripts, you will still have files that are just edited from the original game, so for those scripts follow the tutorial above. As for original scripts/images/sounds etc you should be able to just paste them into your legitimate game folder and shouldn't have to bother with converting them to a .rpa file at all. I hope this helped answer anyone's questions! Can't wait to see what you guys make :) If you ever need help or have questions, my messages are always open!

stream of consciousness about the new animation vs. coding episode, as a python programmer

holy shit, my increasingly exciting reaction as i realized that yellow was writing in PYTHON. i write in python. it's the programming language that i used in school and current use in work.

i was kinda expecting a print("hello world") but that's fine

i think using python to demonstrate coding was a practical choice. it's one of the most commonly used programming languages and it's very human readable.

the episode wasn't able to cram every possible concept in programming, of course, but they got a lot of them!

fun stuff like print() not outputting anything and typecasting between string values and integer values!!

string manipulation

booleans

little things like for-loops and while-loops for iterating over a string or list. and indexing! yay :D

* iterable input :D (the *bomb that got thrown at yellow)

and then they started importing libraries! i've never seen the turtle library but it seems like it draws vectors based on the angle you input into a function

the gun list ran out of "bullets" because it kept removing them from the list gun.pop()

AND THEN THE DATA VISUALIZATION. matplotlib!! numpy!!!! my beloved!!!!!!!! i work in data so this!!!! this!!!!! somehow really validating to me to see my favorite animated web series play with data. i think it's also a nice touch that the blue on the bars appear to be the matplotlib default blue. the plot formatting is accurate too!!!

haven't really used pygame either but making shapes and making them move based on arrow key input makes sense

i recall that yellow isn't the physically strongest, but it's cool to see them move around in space and i'm focusing on how they move and figure out the world.

nuke?!

and back to syntax error and then commenting it out # made it go away

cool nuke text motion graphics too :D (i don't think i make that motion in python, personally)

and then yellow cranks it to 100,000 to make a neural network in pytorch. this gets into nlp (tokenizers and other modeling)

a CLASS? we touch on some object oriented programming here but we just see the __init__ function so not the full concept is demonstrated here.

OH! the "hello world" got broken down into tokens. that's why we see the "hello world" string turn into numbers and then... bits (the 0s and 1s)? the strings are tokenized/turned into values that the model can interpret. it's trying to understand written human language

and then an LSTM?! (long short-term memory)

something something feed-forward neural network

model training (hence the epochs and increasing accuracy)

honestly, the scrolling through the code goes so fast, i had to do a second look through (i'm also not very deeply versed in implementing neural networks but i have learned about them in school)

and all of this to send "hello world" to an AI(?) recreation of the exploded laptop

not too bad for a macbook user lol

i'm just kidding, a major of people used macs in my classes

things i wanna do next since im so hyped

i haven't drawn for the fandom in a long time, but i feel a little motivated to draw my design of yellow again. i don't recall the episode using object oriented programming, but i kinda want to make a very simple example where the code is an initialization of a stick figure object and the instances are each of the color gang.

it wouldn't be full blown AI, but it's just me writing in everyone's personality traits and colors into a function, essentially since each stick figure is an individual program.

[thethinkingaurora]

Yo. How do you code? (I only know the basics to HTML and CSS :/)

Idk which specific question you’re asking, like like how do I code as in what tools do I use, or what do I do and what is my process, or how did I learn to code, or can you teach me to code

And because I don’t know I’ll answer all of them :3

1. What tools do I use?

I use a few things to code, VS Code for actually writing the code, GitHub for storing projects and collaboration, Google and StackOverflow and depending on the project various other apps

2. How do I do it and my workflow process

Uh I have like no idea, I kinda just learn how certain things work via Google and then I slot them together, But the workflow process, I know exactly how to do that, ok so get a white board or a notepad or something, write what you want your program to do, and then break it down into steps and then break it down again and again, so for example,

For my current project, (The Incorrect Quote Generator), I need to take inputs, from a list of quotes choose one that fits the parameters, replace names in the quote with the inputted ones and then print the whole thing

Breaking down the first bit I need the inputs, what inputs do I need? I need the amount of characters and the names of the characters, ok done, second bit, take the quotes, sort them based off of character amount, using the amount of characters from the previous step, pick a set of quotes that match, replace the names, last bit, take the quote with it replaced and done

Breaking down again, first bit, done already, second bit, do we want something like autocapitalisation to make it nicer , yeah sure, what about capitalising the entire name if it fits the circumstance, makes it smoother, done, last bit done

Ok what about formatting, do we want all of this on one line or do we want separate lines for each person speaking, yeah we want separate lines, ok use an “&” symbol to represent a space and when the piece of code that assembles the end string encounters it, print the string and reset continuing from where we are to make a new line

That’s the design process for that

But first you make a prototype of it, to see if it works, like I didn’t have the autocaps or anything at first, I only added that when one of the submissions needed it

Anyways-

3. How did I learn to code

Through a number of ways, first I had gone to this computer club thing when I was like 8 or something and I found Scratch and learned about that, then when I was about 10 I was curious about html and websites, so I ended up making websites for classmates, then lockdown hit and I had nothing to do, I wanted to make a game, so what did I do? I jumped headfirst into Unity and struggled to get absolutely anything done (DON’T DO THIS), at some point I ended up joining this thing called Coderdojo which is like a coding class which worked really well (I actually still go there every Saturday although I’m at more advanced stuff now) and I learned about python and then kept learning more, then I made my own projects and learned more on my own from that

If you are looking to learn on your own, I’d recommend W3Schools, they have tons of courses, are entirely free and very in depth

But first I’d recommend you check out Scratch, it’s great for learning how to think in computer terms

4. Can I teach you to code

I know this probably wasn’t what you were asking but I’ll answer it anyway

Sure, I’d love to, coding one of the things I enjoy a lot because it combines logic and making things, and I love helping and teaching people things so teaching someone else to code sounds good to me :3

Introduction to Python

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high level programming language. It was initially designed by Guido van Rossum in 1991 and developed by Python Software Foundation. It was mainly developed for emphasis on code readability, and its syntax (set of rules that govern the structure of a code) allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code.

Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more efficiently.

data types: Int(integer), float(decimal), Boolean(True or False), string, and list; variables, expressions, statements, precedence of operators, comments; modules, functions-- - function and its use, flow of execution, parameters and arguments.

Programming in python

To start programming in Python, you will need an interpreter. An interpreter is basically a software that reads, translates and executes the code line by line instead of combining the entire code into machine code as a compiler does.

Popular interpreters in python

Cpython

Jython

PyPy

IronPython

MicroPython

IDEs

Many other programmers also use IDEs(Integrated Development Environment) which are softwares that provide an extensive set of tools and features to support software development.

Examples of IDEs

Pycharm

Visual studio code (VS code)

Eclipse

Xcode

Android studio

Net beans

Studying Data Analytics (SQL)

At present I’m working through the 2nd Edition of Practical SQL by Anthony DeBarros. I plan to obtain a graduate certificate in Healthcare Data Analytics so I’m teaching myself the basics so to help ease the burden of working and going to school.

Here’s how I study.

First I always dedicate a notebook (or series of them) to a learning goal. I like Leuchtturm notebooks as they are fountain pen friendly and plenty of colors (to distinguish from my other notebooks), and have a built in table of contents for organization.

SQL, Python, R, etc are programming languages used to tell their respective software what to do with data that has been input into the database. To oversimplify you are learning to speak computer. So my process in learning is by breaking the text down into scenarios e.g If I want to do X, my code needs to look like Y

Along with code examples I include any caveats or alternate use cases. This is repetition helps me learn the syntax and ingrain it into my memory. Obviously I color code my notes so I can know at a glance what each element of the code is.

My multi-pen a Hi-tech C Coleto has been invaluable so I don’t have to jump between 5 different pens I just click between them as needed.

That said as the Coleto will hold 5 different colors it means the refill are tiny and thus need to be replaced more often. Which can be annoying if I run out mid study session.

The end game is to take these notes build a Data Grimoire where I can quickly reference code and how to use them as well as to build checklists for things like data cleaning, setting up constraints, and for thinking ahead to future needs (e.g int vs bigint)

1979

At first, I saw this and thought "YAY!" because there were some really good and relevant movies that came out that year. Upon closer inspection, though, those were highest grossing films, many of which weren't released in '79. I went digging through the lists of movies released in '79 (in all languages I could find) and picked through those I recognized. Here are the bits.

ALIEN

In space, no one can hear you scream.

[It's been long enough since I've seen the films that I can't filter full-grown xenomorph gifs as belonging to the first film vs. others and decided against gore, melted androids, and faces full of alien wing-wong, so no image for you.]

It's got everything: the woman is right, the plot gets kicked off because people don't listen to standard safety procedures, a fake-out about who the survivor would be (at the time; that's well spoiled now), the cat survives, H.R. Geiger aesthetics, corporate malfeasance, and betrayal, all in the course of reconstructing the haunted house horror movie style. I'm kinda glad that they got rid of the bit where the xenomorph cocoons and melts prey into its eggs to make a complete cycle (even if that makes less sense), since it's a little too gross.

I will say that I can't adequately compare it to the other major '79 horror films (The Amityville Horror and Dracula), as I haven't seen them. And don't care to.

Relevant to Your Blog: Castle of Cagliostro, Don Giovanni, Galaxy Express 999, Moonraker.

I have never read or watched anything involving Arsene Lupin -- and, until this year, thought the character was from some old anime/manga series I hadn't seen or read, given Miyazaki's involvement in this film (which I think is the film for a TV series). It's the one Ghibli-ish film I haven't bothered to try to watch. (I haven't made it through My Neighbors the Yamadas or Pom Poko, but I've otherwise watched them all.)

I only recently found out about this version of Don Giovanni, so it's on my list. I figure it's relevant to your blog because he's a rascal-type rogue, even if he's not a rogue by class.

Galaxy Express 999 has been on my watch list since Daft Punk released Interstella 5555, more or less: I recognized the classic anime character designs (and vaguely '70s get-ups), tracked down the animator, and found this title. The film's plot, surprisingly, deals with street urchins, theft, adventures, class, and paywalled immortality, so seems right up your alley.

...and I'm not big on 007, either. It's not that I don't like spies/rogues, it's that it's too much of a male power fantasy.

You can get back to me on those, I skuppose. ;)

Others: Apocalypse Now!, The Black Stallion, Monty Python's The Life of Brian, The Muppet Movie

I feel like because I never read Heart of Darkness (it was an optional text on some reading list in high school) and am kinda shaky in my knowledge of 'Nam (I have some background on Ho Chi Minh and Vietnam's struggles against its French colonial rulers and their subsequently-involved US allies, but not enough), so while I know this film has garnered lots of praise and was enjoyable, I don't feel comfortable recommending it without more context for analysis.

I have always confused The Black Stallion with Black Beauty, even though the former has always seemed (to me) to have a greater mystique to it. That's it; that's the only reason I note it.

If you haven't seen Life of Brian, do yourself a favor and watch it. If you have, do yourself a favor and watch it. Latin jokes, Christianity/cult/rebellion jokes, and penis jokes abound -- including full frontal nudity with (I'm assuming) a gag dick.

It's Tumblr; I can't not recommend Muppets. I'd be hanged.

What is a Website?

A website is a collection of web pages that are accessed through the internet. Websites are typically designed to provide information to visitors, such as the history of an organization, the products or services that they offer, or the contact details of the business. Websites are usually built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and they can be static or dynamic. Static websites are made up of fixed content that does not change unless the website owner makes manual updates. Dynamic websites, on the other hand, have content that can change depending on the user’s actions or the data that is entered.

Types of Website?

Generally there are 2 types of website and they are given below :

Static Website

Dynamic Website

1. Static Website

These types of websites serves same content to every uses who access them. These are built using simple language like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These types of websites are called static website because it does not provide any user interaction.

Some of the examples of static websites are given below :

Portfolio Websites

Personal Blogs

Landing Pages

Small Business Website

Online Resume

2. Dynamic Website

These types of websites are created with advanced programming languages like PHP, Python, Java, as well as database like MySQL, Oracle,PostgreSQL, and many advanced framework tools. Dynamic website’s content can change dynamically for every user who access them.

Static vs. Dynamic Websites: Understanding the Pros and Cons

When it comes to building a website, one of the first decisions you'll face is whether to create a static or dynamic website. Each type comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and understanding these differences can help you choose the best option for your needs. Whether you're building a personal portfolio, a blog, or a business site, knowing the right approach can save you time and resources in the long run.

Let’s break down the key differences, along with the pros and cons of each.

What Is a Static Website?

A static website is one where the content is fixed and doesn’t change unless manually updated by the site owner or developer. These websites are typically built using HTML, CSS, and sometimes JavaScript, with the content coded directly into the files. Every user sees the same content when they visit the page.

Advantages of Static Websites:

Fast Loading Speed Since static websites are made up of fixed content, there is no need for server-side processing. This means pages load faster, offering a better user experience, especially for mobile users.

Easy to Develop Static websites are often simpler to create. You don't need complex back-end systems or databases. With tools like basic HTML editors, creating a static site can be done quickly, even by those with limited coding experience.

Low Hosting Costs Static websites don’t require a server to process dynamic content, so hosting costs are usually lower. You can host them on less expensive platforms like GitHub Pages or other simple hosting services.

Increased Security Without a server-side database or complex back-end system, static websites are less vulnerable to security breaches. This makes them a good option for sites that don't require frequent updates or interactive features.

Disadvantages of Static Websites:

Limited Interactivity Static websites lack features like forms, search bars, or live chat because they can’t interact with databases or external servers in real time. They are ideal for informational sites, but not for businesses needing customer interaction or personalized experiences.

Difficult to Scale As your website grows, manually updating each page can become tedious. Adding new content or features requires more development work and doesn't scale well if you plan on frequently changing or updating your site.

No Content Management System (CMS) Static websites don’t typically include CMS, making them less user-friendly for content updates. Non-technical users might find it harder to make changes without developer support.

Looking to build a static website? Our expert team can help you create a fast, secure, and cost-effective site tailored to your needs.

What Is a Dynamic Website?

A dynamic website, on the other hand, can update content in real time and respond to user input. These websites rely on back-end programming languages (like PHP, Python, or Ruby) and often use databases like MySQL to store content, which can be modified, added, or deleted dynamically. Social media platforms, e-commerce sites, and blogs are examples of dynamic websites.

Advantages of Dynamic Websites:

User Interaction and Personalization Dynamic websites allow for greater interactivity. They can respond to user actions, such as submitting a form, logging into an account, or adding products to a shopping cart. This creates a more personalized experience for users.

Easier Content Management With a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress or Drupal, dynamic websites make it easier for non-developers to update and manage content. This is especially beneficial for businesses or individuals who want to frequently add new posts, products, or pages without needing coding knowledge.

Scalability and Flexibility Dynamic websites are easier to scale. You can add new features, products, or content without redesigning the whole website. The back-end systems allow you to manage large amounts of content and users with more flexibility than static sites.

SEO Benefits Dynamic websites can be better optimized for search engines, as they can include personalized content like blog posts, product recommendations, and dynamic landing pages that appeal to various user segments. This can boost your SEO performance.

Disadvantages of Dynamic Websites:

Slower Load Times Since dynamic websites require the server to process the content each time a page is requested, they are generally slower than static websites. This can affect user experience, especially if the website is not optimized properly.

Higher Costs Building and maintaining a dynamic website typically requires more time and resources. You’ll need a skilled developer to manage the back-end, and your hosting costs will be higher due to the complexity and storage required for dynamic content and databases.

Security Risks Dynamic websites are more vulnerable to security breaches because they rely on databases and server-side scripts. These sites need more rigorous security measures, such as regular updates and backups, to avoid issues like hacking or data leaks.

More Complex to Develop and Maintain Developing a dynamic website requires a higher level of technical knowledge and experience. You’ll need both front-end and back-end development skills to create and maintain these types of sites. Additionally, you’ll need to monitor the server and database performance regularly.

Looking to build a dynamic website? We provide professional development services to create interactive, scalable, and feature-rich websites tailored to your needs.

Which One Should You Choose?

The choice between a static and dynamic website ultimately depends on your needs, budget, and future goals.

Choose a static website if you have a simple website with minimal content that doesn’t require frequent updates or user interaction. It’s a good option for personal portfolios, small informational websites, or landing pages where security and speed are key priorities.

Choose a dynamic website if you need more interactivity, personalized content, or frequent updates. This option is ideal for e-commerce sites, blogs, or business websites where user engagement and scalability are important.

Both static and dynamic websites have their place, and the right choice depends on what you aim to achieve with your online presence. Weighing the advantages and disadvantages will help you make the best decision for your specific needs.

Conclusion

Understanding the differences between static and dynamic websites can help you make an informed decision when building your site. Whether you opt for a simple, fast static website or a more complex, interactive dynamic site, the key is to choose the one that aligns with your goals, budget, and the user experience you want to create.
