OUTDATED/OBSOLETE | NEW TUTORIAL IN DESCRIPTION | How to Make a Custom Moon in Lethal Company

===================================================

*Check Pinned Comment!!!*
A tutorial on how to set up Unity for Lethal Company content creation, specifically covering moons in this video, using Nomnom's Lethal Company Project Patcher and IAmBatby's Lethal Level Loader.

This is the first tutorial I've ever made, so the process was a bit nerve-wracking, but I think it came out pretty well!

***Nomnom Patcher Update*** Edited 05/17/2024
Nomnom has completely rewritten the patcher to improve its efficiency and make it usable for more than just LC. The main thing to note is that you no longer need to use the game's data folder, now you'll use the folder where the .exe is located. When in doubt, check notes that are near the fields in the inspector to make sure you've done it correctly.

***V50 Update*** Edited 05/09/24
LethalModDataLib is now a required dependency for LLL. At the step where I bring in plugins, simply download LLL and copy it and it's dependencies into the project.

Unfortunately the LLL update changed how it loads bundles, so the whole "testing in-editor" aspect is more or less broken for now. Just put your lethalbundles in your mod profile and you can test it in-game.

At 10:33, I unfortunately missed a step. Under each of the reverb triggers, just like the AudioReverbPresets, make sure the [CHANGE AUDIO AMBIANCE] "Audio Changes" list is empty.
This is just for the purpose of the tutorial to give a blank starting point that is free from errors. You may assign new values to them after completing the tutorial and making sure there are no errors from following all of the steps :3

This is an amazing tutorial! Really made this easier for me going from unreal to unity.

Thanks! I had lots of Moons under my name on Thunderstore. Now Holo canned Expansion and I was going to use that after a hiatus. Thanks brother! Can't wait to do indoors to

For someone who for some reason gets completely dark lighting, click camera icon on top right in viewport and set Scene Exposure to 1. I don't know why but mine was set to 10 making everything in my scene get way lower lightings.

[crewfroebel]

thank you for the great tutorial. Loved the music!

if anyone has the issue of "Cannot set the AssetBundle variant "lethalbundle" for your scene asset, it's because your scene contains an underscore or other bad characters. For whatever reason after some troubleshooting, I found out that my scene name was causing problems while bundling it.

If u are doing experimentation it is Terrain, not completed terrain etc. It will highly the same thing as Vow tho terrain wise as an example. Some files are not 100% the same but the tutorial still works.

[Omniscye]

Also at 25:00 No need to import the plugins into the folder like that directly. Because previously you said to import into Unity, and Unity adds it to that spot anyways as it's part of the project.
Anything dragged and dropped into Unity gets added to the location in the project folder.

Hey, I firstly watched this tutorial from you l, it was a perfect foundation for me, thank you very much. And then I've looked for some good planets in Thunderstore and found nothing really vanilla level quality except the Starlancer Moons mod. After playing it, I was very surprised to see your nickname on the mod page. You haven't only made an amazing and very helpful guide, but also my favorite moon pack. Keep it up, dude!

High and low BG and forrest Ambience are no longer there btw to delete in here

Hi, I did everything without any major problem until the build step at 32:54, when I hit "build", after a moment, an error apears saying that the system cannot find the specified file, but I'm not sure what is refering, it just points to the mod.lethalbundle file inside LethalBundles folder, and I'm stuck there, (been working with a terrain model imported from Blender instead of creating one in Unity and haven't had a problem up until this point)

[Power_Fullka]

I encountered a problem when creating a map already at the final stage of the test, everything is as per the guide when arriving on the planet, it looks like a file from the prefab created at the very beginning, but the fact that the painted is not there, tell me how to correct this pls!

[DarkFedoraP]

is there a way to get custom assets for making moons? like the krusty krab for example

[SOS_Studios]

i can play test in unity but when loading the level in the actual game it crashes.

[DreamerAnimations]

Hi, do you know how to fix this? When entering the dungeon the lighting goes dark, specifically the HDRI/SkyBox disappears.

[FerwynaArianrhod]

Thanks for the tutorial! very useful video, though id suggest either making the music quieter in future tutorials or just straight up not including music, its a little bit distracting!

[quinvzy]

hey, i got to 3:35 where you install the lethal project patcher, for some reason even though i've installed Git and restarted the unity editor + hub multiple times, it doesn't work, and says *No 'git' executable was found. Please install Git on your system* can someone please tell me what to do

edit: i rewatched the video and saw the part where you said that you need your unity installation to be under NTFS, but unity is installed under my hard drive and after looking it up it seems to me that the C: drive is a NTFS

[nickadams]

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I have missing scripts errors all over the place. "The associated script can not be loaded. Please fix any compile errors and assign a valid script."
I was able to select the ones I saw in the video, but there's still a lot missing so I can't save the prefab at 12:25. Anybody know what went wrong?

[boopedbud]

hey at 32:37 when you are building into the lethal bundles folder my lethal level loader had no such folder and i tried both to create the folder and to just build to the default location but my moon will not show up. any advice?

[MGTLEGEND]

I would like to say thanks for this tutorial, very clear and accurate. I do have a question however, how do you actually get your custom moon in game? I've been trying to follow documentation and I'm getting hung up on basically everything and I can't find a video anywhere going over this.

Lan button does not work for some reason
