2025

n8n

  • 02:09AM

    Need to prepare the supabase n8n edge runtimes but I been way too swamped. I can get that understanding of being so far behind, that it makes more sense to outsource more of the work.

Nx 20.4

  • 04:58AM

    The morning sun is about to rise and I went off tangent really quick but got some work done. Upgraded the Monorepo to Nx v20.4.3 and finally upgraded to the latest Astro v5.x! The biggest issue was getting the vite v6 support out there and operational, which the latest nx/vite supports.

  • 03:08PM

    The migration works fine on the mac but now its time to test it on the WSL instance. Besides updating the pnpm, I need to remember to delete the node_modules folder and run a fresh install.

pnpm v10

  • 03:08PM

    Updating the pnpm to v10.30.

CI - Astro v5

  • 03:10PM

    The migration to Astro v5 has just one small issue, its the playwrite that needs to be installed before deployment / build. Need to make sure that will not be a problem on my WSL instance. I believe the playwrite is used to generate the mermaid graphs.

Terminal window
    pnpm exec playwright install

If the error comes up, it does warn us in the terminal. I went ahead and updated the package.json to include the post install of it.

Godot User Data v0

  • 05:19PM

    Testing the loading of the user data, it seems to crash the whole application, so I will have to figure out why.

Terminal window
./kbve.sh -nx rust_godot_towerdefense:build-windows

2024

Windows

It might be time to switch the build process towards focusing on the Steam and Windows build for the unity game! While I did enjoy some of the WebGL/WASM process, I think for the sake of time, I am go ing to push forward the steam build, as it is over due.

I am not going to drop the WASM/WebGL build completely but I will come back to it later on, when there is abetter WebGPU support.

Since we are going to use Unity DOTs, which does not build to WebGL, so we have to change that to StandaloneWindows64.

That means editing the pipeline, ci-alpha, and comment out all the WebGL.

While I am testing the build pipeline, I am going to add the Toon RP as a render engine because it would help resolve some of the style issues that I was having earlier.

I made a mistake when doing the branches, I ended up doing a bit too many changes within just one branch, so I need to scale it back and rebuild the changes independantly.

Under the branch 697, https://github.com/KBVE/kbve/pull/697/files, or patch atomic unity saber render engine 02 13 2024, the idea was to change the pipeline for a custom toon one but I feel like that might cause some problems with the way we are building this application.

The inital toon shader was under the toon-rp package but I think it would make sense to look for a new cell shader that would work with the universal pipeline because then having it work across multiple devices will not be an issue.

Now the best way to handle this would be to look through the docs and notes, and seeing if we can reference another shader, or… worse comes to worse, we would have to build our own custom shader.
