@Graingy I think they could make it work and even be pretty versatile. Based on just what’s currently possible even just in the mod tools they could 100% implement it even into the current version of SP. They probably just don’t want to do that kind of work on a game of its age. It doesn’t have to be limited either; it’s just a matter of finding a file format that will let everything work fairly efficiently.
@Graingy maybe an xml file with different points on the terrain, location of trees, etc. maybe some prefabs could exist or could be imported into this format (albeit a little inefficiently in terms of file size). Gaps could be filled in procedurally. This is already a thing with JNO and it could be implemented without crazy difficulty.

The apple restriction is against unsigned code, which I take it to mean is stuff that is essentially additional chunks of the game being added that aren’t published through an authorized platform. Mod support, if we take that to mean specifically user-created content with scripting enabled, is 100% possible, it just requires an approach to compatibility that they did not take on SP1 all those years ago.
On Android it’s much easier, they just gotta use a different backend
From what I’ve heard you can run mods if you’re using the PCVR mode. Reshade as well as parts/map mods should all work fine. If you’re running it on a standalone headset you can not run mods as that version is basically a glorified Android build.
Deactivate all your mods and verify the integrity of your game files through Steam. This is a really strange bug but it might also help to roll back to an older version of the game. My memory on how to do this is foggy but it should be in the “Betas” tab of the game properties menu in Steam.
@THEOKPILOT doesn’t that make the bars at the top of windows grey, not that blue gradient? Or are you tweaking additional things to make it look that way?
Is there any chance of dropping the mod tools before the game so that modders can start cooking stuff up? Porting in the old maps and the like?
Also that vehicle in the last screenshot is diabolical
@THEOKPILOT check out the Linus Tech Tips forums, lots of like-minded individuals there as well as status updates and stuff like that. I would hesitate to comment there as almost everyone there will be more experienced (and older) but it is a very interesting place to check out.
No offense, but literally no one is emotionally invested except you. There’s a difference between off-topic (things that aren’t related to the game but are interesting) and stream of consciousness (posting literally whatever you feel like). This one falls solidly into the stream-of-consciousness category of posts that have no relevance to the game, aviation, or anything anyone cares about really. The forums are a place where this kind of stuff is acceptable to post, but as someone who used to do this I would encourage second guessing before you click the “submit” button if this is actually purposeful in any way. Putting 5 words in a bio isn’t something that needs to be questioned in public. Maybe in a chatroom, or in a Discord group or subreddit or something. The forums have got pretty brain-dead lately and I feel that this post is an example of the times. You’re not posting anything crazy unusual, but I find it very unfortunate that this is the direction that the forums are headed.
Ok so does having your wallpaper be a solid color actually improve performance? I heard computer nerds back in the day liked to do that because it used less RAM than having an image.
Also no shot that anyone would be using that resolution, the computer would be pretty much unusable if you couldn’t make out text lol
Heck the NES used 480p 20 years before that
Juno and SP share account systems, so you automatically get a JNO account when you make an SP account . Having an account on SP with a certain number of points (idk how many, I assume 1000+) gives your JNO account 100 free points so you can do things like make a bio and embed images in your posts.
I don’t recognize this browser (Chrome on iPad?).
Websites load a file when you load them. This is an HTML file, which references a CSS file that’s stored on the server. So the CSS file might say that the text color is green so that when the HTML file loads some text it comes out as green regardless of what the HTML says. This is useful for web developers because instead of manually writing out the style rules for each page they can just make it reference the CSS file that’s on the server, which is why websites usually have fairly consistent styling across the board. What’s happening here is that for some reason (bad internet, DNS error, Lord knows) your device is able to load the HTML and the images that the HTML is referencing, but not the CSS file. That’s why all of this is default formatting (dead simple, all aligned to the left with no columns or anything, Times New Roman) which is usually defined by the browser iirc.
@Graingy yeah that makes sense. You might want to make a template so that for each page you can effectively just write the descriptions or repurpose them from whatever random stuff you have on the SP site.
Honestly pretty good. What’s complicated about getting more sub-pages? I feel like you can just make the pages, put the files into the server, and put links to them? Unless this is all being done with php or some godforsaken method that I do not understand. Also that logo in the background is very well executed.
@dbqp I think I have 4+ accounts on this site. Who knows, all of the people in this comment section except for you could be alts of me. Like dead internet theory taken to level 11
@Jaspy190 I’m not sure how their server bills work so I can’t say for sure, but this stuff usually works in price tiers so it’s unlikely that by yourself you would generate enough content to actually cost them more money. The problem starts when a few hundred or a few thousand people are doing it due to wide availability of APKs or whatever
@Graingy I guess from a Jundroo perspective if this person wouldn’t be able to buy it anyway it’s not exactly hurting them, so they aren’t making money but piracy isn’t exactly hurting them in this instance. It’s more harmful on a larger scale when people use the website and upload content without paying so the developer salaries and the web hosting bills aren’t being subsidized.
I loaded into the world in this. With a bit of experimentation I was able to get going at a steady 3 miles per hour. As I reached to put the game into fast-forward mode a bomber hurtled out of nowhere and crashed into me.
10/10 creation.
Some of these are really good!
With the FreeCam thingy you can usually disable the FreeCam mod and get the Zoom mod. When the game is paused you can actually right-click to drag the camera around, so you can get most of these angles without the FreeCam mod (and the “FreeCam is ON!” message).

Just sign in to Steam with your old account, no need to buy anything again
Should even be able to keep all your save data because of the Steam cloud.

OG doom is pretty peak in my opinion, I own 2016 but I’ve never played it so I’m gonna have to try it sometime
+1Suggestion: make it not be a forum post. They clog up the forums and are extremely annoying. Make a chatroom on an unlisted post.
