Does this mod work for mobile? Or not?

GuiR

Does this mod work for mobile? Or not?

Use your freaking eyes bruh it clearly says "PC only for now"

ItzVismay

Use your freaking eyes bruh it clearly says "PC only for now"

Oh. Ok

Letsss freaky gooooooo

12:14 PM

*freaking

I would such to install this mod for myself, but my PC is broken

12:24 PM

Sry, SoK

I use a android phone

12:24 PM

I'll wait

It's work to only PC

12:24 PM

Bruhter

Yeah sorry for Android version being delayed.. Packing an APK is very, very tough. I need more time. Don't know how long it'll take though :/

I understand completely

Making an APK is hell

12:26 PM

And keep in mind - I was doing 1.4. I have no idea how much harder doing 1.7 is. It's unexplored territory.

Yes

And SoK sin't the greatest tech mind (no offense), so...

12:26 PM

I fear it might be harder

It's going to take a while

I asked Eric for help, maybe there's something that needs to be updated in the plugin

TheMikirog

And SoK sin't the greatest tech mind (no offense), so...

None taken

TheMikirog

And SoK sin't the greatest tech mind (no offense), so...

He is a good artist you can't lie about that.

12:28 PM

And since this was released 3 years after the last JRMP update since he made most maps his map making skill have gotten better.

he also did one map for GunSquad that I didn't finish and he tried the pre-rendering method

12:29 PM

That being you make a scene in Blender, make a render out of it and then use that render as the texture

If you know what you're doing, you can make a very convincing clay map

Okay

12:30 PM

That's good

Unlike some other mods

If you know about coder map

(I'm talking about your dice map AYMP)

oooof

12:31 PM

Maps featured in Explodinary aren't 100% convincing, but they're still very high quality compared to the competition

You can say that 15,000 times

I know you Programmer TheMikirog and I just wonder, what you really understand about 3D Modeling and Coding

12:32 PM

Hm

12:33 PM

Stop

I made my own games and I work at an indie game dev company

Where is Chat of England?

TheMikirog

I made my own games and I work at an indie game dev company

Okay

12:36 PM

I'm still working and work Delivery. My Based work be programming and 8 specifically

TheMikirog

Maps featured in Explodinary aren't 100% convincing, but they're still very high quality compared to the competition

This is entirely convincing

Sorry about tautology

AchsIdeas

This is entirely convincing

Woooooow, Nice

12:37 PM

Khm...

12:37 PM

Sorry

To give you some perspective, all I see is elements that weren't from the same photo

12:37 PM

I'm not ignoring the hard work that went into, I'm just saying how hard it can be

12:37 PM

Let's get nitpicky

Now looking at it I can see what you mean

This bush is pasted in and wasn't originally a part of the scene

12:38 PM

Jagged tree top

12:38 PM

Mismatched lighting

12:38 PM

And if you see the map in-game it's easier to notice the geometry too doesn't follow the photo entirely

Yeah

But I agree on first look the map is spectacular

Working of lighting it's main work

12:39 PM

And other things to details

TheMikirog

But I agree on first look the map is spectacular

You slow notice flaw

12:40 PM

*flaws

If you wanna go full photo, you gotta build the entire scene in one piece. If you go full pre-rendered, you have a different kind of challenge to make sure it doesn't feel entirely fake.

12:40 PM

I think the former is easier for most folk, but the latter is easier for those that have mastered Blender and VFX.

12:40 PM

I prefer the latter, it gives me much more creative control (and it's free and I'm a cheapskate)

I think no matter what textures will not look as good compared to Vanilla

12:42 PM

Since Eric Froemling worked at Pixar

JRMP's Pillar Bases gets close, but it's bogged down by poor camera and I had no blocks to fill up the bottom part so it sticks out

It does tbh

12:46 PM

From what I can tell Block Fortress is the best texture wise.

It is

12:46 PM

If you don't want to compete with BombSquad's art style, there's lots of avenues still

I would like to stick to style

12:47 PM

not...

12:47 PM

BombDash

lol

12:48 PM

Actually there is one BombDash map that does quite okay

12:49 PM

I saw that part in your Rambiling about bombdash for over an hour video

im in the trailer too

AchsIdeas

I saw that part in your Rambiling about bombdash for over an hour video

surprised you stuck through that lol

i watched the ENTIRE THING

Pat on the back. Here's some bonus critique for ya:

Miko Froensmith

I would such to install this mod for myself, but my PC is broken

android build will released soon

and ill do it again

You might've noticed that every piece of the original photo is still there... almost

12:52 PM

Since the ramps weren't originally there it's easy to notice unless you do some post production to hide it

Interesting

12:53 PM

Time to waste 1 hour 1 minute and 20 seconds of my life again

What?

AchsIdeas

Time to waste 1 hour 1 minute and 20 seconds of my life again

You know the Rambling about bombdash for over an hour

1:25 PM

video

yes I heard

thats what i was watching lmao

SoK [GMT +1]

Yeah sorry for Android version being delayed.. Packing an APK is very, very tough. I need more time. Don't know how long it'll take though :/

i may be able to patch it for linux and android, is the c++ code unmodified 1.7.6?

Ye, I edited Python layer only (edited)

TheMikirog

he also did one map for GunSquad that I didn't finish and he tried the pre-rendering method

Speaking of that.. Have you decided what you were gonna do with it?

11:08 PM

Also, this modpack looks very well made, may I see some screen shots of the UI? (edited)

11:08 PM

before i’m able to download it, of course

chem

Also, this modpack looks very well made, may I see some screen shots of the UI? (edited)

There ya go

Looks great, was the base for it JRMP?

Nope

11:14 PM

There are some sound effects from JRMP, and some of my maps but that's about it (edited)

I like the style

I ported a few of my maps from JRMP to Explodinary

It’s aesthetically pleasing to look at

Thanks

11:15 PM

This modpack is basically a compromise between vanilla and heavily modded

11:15 PM

It's not overwhelming

11:15 PM

But still some new content

I’m gonna test it out when it’s done downloading. It looks great, i would definitely hope that unnecessary content isn’t added unless based on vanilla

11:17 PM

That’s where most modpacks fail, am i wrong? (edited)

11:19 PM

Do I need to install the data folder aswell?

chem

That’s where most modpacks fail, am i wrong? (edited)

There's this territory that it's easy to fall into (I almost did, good thing I have @TheMikirog as my conscience) called "throw the s**t at the wall and see what sticks". BombDash kinda did that on a HIGH level, but that's where most modpacks fail

chem

Do I need to install the data folder aswell?

Nah

How to install?

Data folder is for people that want to play on Linux etc

EmperoR

How to install?

Click the link.

1

I downloaded both folder

11:19 PM

But then?

Apparently you don’t need the data one, only the build

1

11:20 PM

just open it

Just download "BombSquad Explodinary.zip" and extract the folder wherever you want

chem

Apparently you don’t need the data one, only the build

I'll edit the post to make that clear

Seems it wasn’t clear enough

I’m thankful for him too

11:20 PM

11:23 PM

My first question: will the character ideas imported from JRMP stay in this modpack in the future?

chem

My first question: will the character ideas imported from JRMP stay in this modpack in the future?

These are my characters ported from JRMP and reworked. Of course they're gonna stay ;D (edited)

SoK [GMT +1] changed the channel name: BombSquad: Explodinary 1/14/2023 11:26 PM

I see a lot of the modpack focus is on style, as the textures of the characters canvas changed, the graphicsIcon, and many other things. How will you change spaz?

11:29 PM

The color scheme is super nice to look at

1

11:29 PM

And the logo looks well made, in my opinion

chem

I'm not touching Spaz, he's basically the mascot of BS so I'll give him that respect lmao

11:30 PM

I'll be adding entirely new characters in future versions. What I wanted to change with existing ones, I changed already Although... (edited)

chem

And the logo looks well made, in my opinion

Thank you!

I’ll give some maps a try real quick, but since they are from JRMP, i’m gonna expect the best of the best

11:31 PM

Actually, i’ll just try the ones I haven’t before.

11:32 PM

What is this powerup, a stick UFO?

Tacky Bomb There's info about each new powerup in "How to Play?" section

Yeah i saw

11:37 PM

I really like the cardboard map, i think the only problem is that, it uses that shape and slope but I can’t jump from the slope to the main line of the map, which kinda defeats the purpose of these new shapes, am i missing something?

You need to be really fast to jump through these gaps. Try to gain speed from the highest ramp

11:38 PM

Also - quick turn is your best friend

Quick turn is my best friend in falling off the map too.

11:40 PM

I do see now, it’s pretty hard, but it forces the player to utilize a tactic implemented only in your modpack aswell.

11:40 PM

In some situations, it’s still possible without quick turn of course.

chem

Quick turn is my best friend in falling off the map too.

It takes time to get used to it, but it enhances the gameplay If it's too annoying though, you can turn it off in "plugins" menu

Overall, it’s so far super good, good experience and doesn’t feel overwhelming, has relaxing music and pleasing color schemes. New mechanics that you have the option to turn off or on, I could go on to say more, but you get the point.

11:45 PM

Gives me hope for future modding

11:45 PM

Although it’s a nightmare now
