it shows incorrect phase on first load, pretty much every time, from memory; it 'corrects' itself after the first phase-shift.

I can't remember how that worked exactly, but I never added a check on startup; it is merely triggered to change when the phase changes, so it kinda 'picks' something when loading in, rather than actively reading the correct 'phase' on load.

Call it lazy and lack of programming knowledge. I have zero intent or ability to fix or adjust this now.

it shows incorrect phase when loading the game midday

oof xd

very good

can't spell though. and yes; turns out english professors can't count. no one had ever got everything correct in a test before so they ddint realise the marking system was... faulty

102% Noice (╭☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )╭☞

nah you asked, it's kinda hard to explain in one sentance; It shows the full wax / wane of the moon instead of only half of it? better?

i got 102% in english; I broke the test, so 'essay' for a 1 paragraph explanation which doesn't even include an excample of it's use, seems.... wanting.

don't take this as a h8 commment

u wrote yourself an essay right there. but okay, I guess

@ Pootis because right now you're in the middle of the game and you see the moon is either 1/4 through it's cylce; or 3/4 through. You don't know which, because they both have the same image. Now with this, you'll know whether full moon is coming or going.

Unless This functionallity has been added since I made this all those years ago, of course. Or you're using another mod that has borrowed/used/stolen and intergrated this one and don't even realise it.

Why would you want this

Thank you very much

Very interesting! Great! Thank you

well I cant make a thing saying Shipwrecked incompatible... like can for RoG in my upload settings. That is Klei's fault. and by messing with moon phase names, I believe I only read phases.. and create my own condition based upon that info. I know we had to change somethng so that it would work with daybreak mod.

Oh... ok, thanks for your reply ɦơƭɱʌƭɾɪҳҳ.

I would like to learn Lua to do some modding and if I do I would try to fix it for myself, but right I'm already busy with another languages for web development... Too much at once so, right know, I will wait for anyone else who would like to handle it...

Cheers!

yes i am sorry there isnothing that I can do about that. I have basically forgotten all my programming in .lua and i dont play myself anymore. currently it detects a change in the moonphase and then updates, and it doesn't check when the game loads, unfortunatley, and I cannot remember how to do it now. if some one wants a crack at it, let me know and ill update the code, or if people paid to have this mod, I'd get it fixed asap, else it will have to stay like that for the foreseeable.

Hi @ɦơƭɱʌƭɾɪҳҳ,

I love this mod, thanks for your work. Just one little bug detected: I noticed that every time I do "save and quit", when I return later, the mod always displays wrongly as if it would be full moon at next night.

Then, when night comes it changes and displays the correct phase. The rest of the time it works fine, the problem just happens the first day when returning to a saved game.

This is what I needed. Thank you very much!

English. Sorry.

嘛 多谢指正 我都是机翻复制粘贴

The DST port is actually a combination of about 7 mods, maintained by the guy that owns RPG HUD, I think it is? BetterMoon was used with permission.

@ZHA 英语里加油不是refuel... go for it 初中英语教材上这么写的

Can you add a full moon predictor like in the DST port? I don't know if you added the functionality for the bundled version or a different dev but it's extremely helpful. I also don't see it as game breaking since it's essentially the same function as showing the waxing/waning cycle.

Thank you for your reply, please continue to refuel ^_^

Yes, perfect I understand. I'm also happy because you like the MOD
是的，我完全理解。我也很高興，因為你喜歡的MOD

This is really a great MOD! I've been mad for the pig when upset

这实在是一个很棒的MOD!我一直在为猪在何时发疯而苦恼

@Jeff.

well, at least you have a sense of style.
nice way to say that you got nothing to say.

Jeff; to be fair, I'll give you a chance to reply before I start making statements;
And I'll put this up here, just in case you don't bother to read the whole description;

Are you a troll, or just an idiot?

I'm Guessing you saw the image, read the name, thought "oh a better (looking) moon.
This mod is called Better Moon, not Realistic Moon.

There is a second image, in the description, giving you all the pre-rendered sprites that you will see in the game.

The Thumnail merely shows you what the Mod is trying to achieve. - a moon that show's all it's phases, not just one half of them. Not very many mods on this workshop have "accurate" Thumbnails - many are mods that you cant even make an image of! There is one here called better-honey, and the image shows Wilson with derpy eyes. So does it give him weird looking eyes in the game, maybe?

Hey, I was wondering if you'd be okay with me rolling Better Moon's functionality into my DST port of Always On Status, since they're kind of in the same vein.

Yea thx bruh. :D

@potato

It's Called Hard Mode , by my friend Mouse (I didn't even know it was his mod!)

Yes If and when you can I'll gladly apperciate it :)

@potato
Yeah, absolutely. I feel that I'm not really modding, but bug fixing. If you really want a challenge, there is a mod that makes everything more brutal, Can't remember the name, but if you want it, I'll hunt for it's name.

Makes mods that don't make the game easier THANK YOU :D

FWIW...one of my must have mods, especially playing Woodie. For any other character its still awesome!

@Jasper Yeah, thanks. I'm glad you like it - have you looked at my other mod, AutoRetrap? it's awesome.

I'm sorry about that, it 'may' be fixable, I just don't know if I'm good enough to get to the bottom of the bug and fix it.

It's not enough to stop me using such a useful mod, so if it's not fixable don't worry too much :)

@Jasper Oh, that's interesting. My Guess is that (it's been a shile since I looked at the code) the full moon is the default for the app, and it only updates once the game tells it what the correct phase of the moon is, either that, or I need to add something to look for the correct moon phase when the game starts, it's possible that the command that I 'Check" for isn't active until the start of the next moon day, so popping in mid - evening would be an issue.

It's a curious little bug. I may look into fixing it, but it's been a while since I wrote this, and I had to learn lua just to make it, so I've forgotten most of it by now.

But I may have a go at it in my spare time. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Every time I enter the game at dusk/night, the moon looks full regardless of the actual phase of the moon, not showing the correct phase until the next night.

@lynamorlo
Yeah, I'm pretty sure my descriptions say that. I like mods that add something cool, without unbalancing the game. most mods on here (except characters) are game-breakers. Dev Tool, for example. 2x run speed, insta health, insta hunger, instakill any creature (damage set to 99999). People 'play' DS with this mod enabled 'to make it easier/more fun' - It's a tool for testing out stuff you've built without having to waorry about dying. It's basically Invincibility etc etc

Most of my dev freinds on here build OP stuff, I just don't use them, that's all. I take it you're new to DS?

You know, I had a different impression of what it did from the title (I don't even know what I was thinking it did now... sometimes I'm a bit of a space cadet.) Will definitely check it out. I like mods that add a little something, or streamline, without making things easier or changing the atmosphere. So, good on you for making multiple mods that meet my stringent requirements.
Also, sorry that my previous post came off a bit harsh to other modders. It's not that I don't appreciate their efforts (even the unplayable bugged mods are still a lot of work) just gets sad to see all that effort get forgotten after a month or two and frustrating to try to find out if mods work if the comments are full of Doge and Bob.

@lynamorlo
Thanks for your support on that! As far as other people (and bob) go;
Maybe they don't realise they 'can' remove that garbage (it's not obvious)
Maybe they like bob
Maybe they started it.
Maybe they don't care. (I don't know how though as you are notified every time someone leaves a comment)... but you can turn that off...

Well, This is actually me 'second' mod, and a bit more subtle than my first... it's harder for people to figure out what it does and how it works. hopefully you've got it. Also, check out my other, more popular mod, Auto Retrap . It doesn't hurt the balance, follows a more 'sensible' way of dealing with pick up traps (puts animal in hand and resets trap on ground) should really be the default behaviour for traps anyway. It's also one of the most downloaded mods for DS, ever.

Just FYI: I am subscribing to this mod because--pretty much exclusively--you took Bob down.
Kudos to you. I'm sick and tired of trying to find out if a mod is worth it only to be forced to scroll through a few pages of Bobs.
However, I am very very displeased to learn that the authors control their own comment boards and that Bob is still around. It means they don't care about their mods, or the community trying to use them.
Good to know not to bother to subscribe to any mods with Bob flooding the comment board, as clearly they don't care if I do or not.

I'll rephrase it then;
"Don't spread that spam here, thank you."





aka "fuck off".

meh i did not spam i pasted it just once so you are lying

@Korack

Thanks for posting bob. He is awful. I think I might not copy and paste him. in fact, I think I might press the delete key....

Now get the fuck off my mod if you don't have enough respect for it that you have to spam that garbage here.
