Yup! Not sure what it will look like, but it'll be something funky at the end of the "Name" line

Added a little feature that will check for loose files in your PMP and offer to automatically put them in their own zip file and upload it as an extra file attached to the version you're uploading. Hopefully that helps c:

Not sure why exactly it happened. Editing the meta.json to remove the nul byte at the end of the name will fix it if this happens again, but I can't say why it happened. My best guess is a TT bug because we couldn't get Penumbra to cause the issue. Either way, sorry for the inconvenience!

It's live now! Let us know if there are any issues.

I created a fixed meta.json file: files.catbox.moe/mi2b2k.json
If you're not sure how to replace that, here's the entire PMP with the fixed meta.json already included: files.catbox.moe/k3sb0b.pmp

Fixing that file allows the PMP to be uploaded. We think TT may have a bug that caused this issue.

Screenshot of Heliosphere's file upload form. A file called "my mod.pmp" is selected. There is a warning that displays "This PMP contains files that are not used by Penumbra. Heliosphere filters such files before upload, so PMPs downloaded from Heliosphere will not contain them. You can upload these files as extra files that can be downloaded separately. Heliosphere can do this for you automatically if you check the box below." Below that text is a checked checkbox labelled "Upload unreferenced files as an extra .zip file attached to version 1.0.1". A text input is beneath the checkbox, and it's labelled "Name of .zip file to be created". Below that is a list of the extra files contained in the PMP, which are "dds/would you believe it.dds", "png/a loose file.png", and "png/another loose file.png".

A new feature is in the works! Check a box to have all loose files in your PMP automatically uploaded as an extra zip file.

uhhh so there is something very strange in your mod's title. it has a null byte, which is causing the database to reject it. how did you make this pmp? otter and I are curious so we can find and fix whatever caused this to happen

You can attach it to both. It just allows you to have different files per version, for example for updated devkits etc

Yeah, that tab is very new. Extra files are attached to specific versions, so they're included there. I'm thinking up ways to make it more obvious as we speak to reduce frustration c:

fwiw I don't know there's a problem unless someone reports it! I'll take a look at this error in a bit

You can also use the feature designed for this, as posted here

you want until you suddenly get motivation and hope you can get it all done then

making a new scope filled with let x = x.clone(); let y = Y::clone(&y); before spawning a thread or task or some shit is one of those "I know why I have to do this, but it feels like there should be a better way" moments for real

the hallucination machine is good for nothing in the long run

I do this when talking through things to myself because in my head it's like I'm making a tutorial and meaning "people in our position", not system stuff

The hobby is problem-solving, and that is what's fun to me. I do not want the hallucination machine to shittily do the fun part for me.

you can block uploaders, which will technically filter them out. a filter for searches only is an interesting idea. I can put that on the list

no take only throw meme with the word "throw" replaced with "hot". three panel comic. dog with a frisbee in first panel saying "pls hot??" with a begging face. second panel has a hand reaching toward the frisbee, and the dog looks mad saying "no take!!". third panel has dog looking even angrier, zoomed in on their face, saying "ONLY HOT"

MGS codec screen. Left side is static, right side is Snake. The text says "So good to finally meet you, Snake. I'm Sore Fuckmann, resident sex expert for the CIA."

Same setup as previous image, but the text is now just "Sex?"

I've cleared the cache and made the page check periodically once you've submitted a verification so that you shouldn't need to refresh. Once you're free, if you can check again by using Ctrl+Shift+R to refresh, I'd appreciate it. If it's not fixed, then I'll need some more information.

I wonder if maybe the page got cached. I'll look into it right now. Sorry for the inconvenience ;-;

hey, if you refreshed the page after receiving this email, that's a bug, and I'd like to look into it! could you tell me what happened so I can fix it for future users?

A warning box on Heliosphere with the title "Hold up!" The content is: Please fill out the form below to request a mod verification. You will receive an email with the results after your submission has been reviewed. You only need to do this once. What is the name of one of the mods you have created? <text box> The mod does not need to be published. If you haven't yet made any, you may use an idea. Please describe that mod in a sentence or two. <text box>

I'm so confused. The form literally asks for a name and a one-to-two sentence description, and further clarifies that it's for spam prevention and you can use an idea. Manual verification is the most effective spam prevention tool, and it doesn't even require a published mod, as the form states.

Not sure I'm understanding correctly, but if there's a song that isn't the song from the second phase that I can use for phase one, please share if you find it! Tyrant's song is good, but he takes longer to reclear, and getting hit with it again is less than ideal lmao

This is exactly right. It's so inappropriate that I replaced it with the song from Tyrant. The phase two song fits much, much better since it was designed to!

Screenshot of Densha de Go Professional Shiyou's game over screen that displays after finishing a route. The whole image has a scanline filter over it. It says "GAME OVER" in English, and above that is presumably the Japanese for "GAME OVER", but I can't read it, so I don't really know. There's a... train stewardess? in a blue hat and pinstripe suit+skirt with white gloves, a white collared shirt under the suit, a purple tie, and blue shoes. She's winking and doing some sort of salute.

this is all @seanseanson.bsky.social's fault for making that taito video. I'm addicted to the strongest drug there is: japanese train games
