Hi all, I’m currently the only mod here and I’ve sadly had to be less active given sizable real life responsibilities. So posting here to see if anyone is up for assisting in mod management? It's still pretty small right now but it's good to get ahead on these early I feel.

If anyone’s interested just comment below and I can get things approved from there, Preferably say any experience you have if applicable.

Figure I'd ask here, but I'm looking to set something up for email in the future, I'm looking into custom domains so that if something happens with one email account, then I have more security in mind to pick up from there as opposed to being screwed.

I know that fully self hosting email full stop is usually not recommended, so I'm up for any advice anyone has on that end.

Hi, since I'm gonna end up being a bit inactive in the next few months, I'm up for seeing if anyone wants to help moderate this sub, just post below and I can get you approved there. Ideally saying why you want to do or and/or any experience you have, if any, would be nice, though not mandatory.

Figure I'd check here, but since I'm currently the only mod here, if anyone wants to help and take up moderation for 3DShacks, then lemme know and I can set that up :).

Have to comment down below given how the site goes there, assuming things haven't changed on that end.

Normally shouldn't just post text only, but this one's important. If anyone wants to help out and take up being a moderator for this community, then post below and I can get you appointed.

Preferably say why you want to do that and/or any experience you have.

I currently host a couple small wikis for worldbuilding information, but the hosting provider for that is going down in a few months, so I'm looking for ways to self host what I got.

I've never self hosted with Mediawiki before so this is brand new to me, I've already spent a couple hours messing around with Docker but haven't gotten too far into that. OS is Manjaro/Endeavour Linux between two systems.

Not necessarily looking to host it online immediately to start with, though in the future I'd like to do so when I can get the proper hardware preparations for it, but for now I just want to host it locally to get it set up.

Texture pack originally made by u/Bauhler on reddit, liking the colors of it where it's vivid without going all in on the Alpha grass look, though it's pretty close to that for those who want it.

I can make DHExchange from DHExchange if needed, but if it won't be necessary then I don't wanna split things up needlessly, so figured I'd check here first.

This is an archive for various arcade hacks, usually by users like Yumeji, Ydmis, Pipi899 and that sort, these are usually hard to find and only work on ancient FBA exes from 2009, and that's when you even find them beyond dead 4shared links.

The files are in IPS format for the purposes of softpatching with FBN proper, with DAT files and everything

To use them with Libretro, you need to patch the files you want, each IPS file is named for the exact file you need to patch, then put it in this path

"/"wherever you store your install or settings"/retroarch/system/fbneo/patched

The rom name has to be the same as whatever you use as a base, so if you use kof98.zip and patch it's files, you use the base kof98 rom without renaming either, some roms require different bases so I'm gonna compile a document together as a cheat sheet for what rom uses which patch to make it easier.

There's also instructions for running this with standalone FBN, Fightcade is untested though.

These are sourced from HBMame's .233 romset, the hacks are primarily for playing as bosses and hidden characters in fighting games but I convert any hack I find that's neat, like the Blazing Star Stage Select or a Metal Slug 5 remake someone did, there's also a document in there with relevant info.

As a bonus, aside from one hack for Kof97, which is natively supported as a Playstation imitation hack, the Neo Geo hacks can be run in both MVS and AES mode so if you prefer one or the other then you can do so, the Playstation hack I mentioned only works with AES mode.

Instructions are in the page but the short of it is making a patched folder in system/fbneo (it must specifically be called "patched") then putting the roms in there, removing the extensions and matching the original rom as need be, there's also a text doc for marking what each rom is and what base rom you need.

This is mainly good for Libretro since standalone uses dat files, the original IPS archive is good for that since I'm nearly done putting in the dat files for that, there's also instructions in there on patching yourself for Libretro but this is for skipping that step.

It also has instructions if your using it standalone too. Though it has not been tested with any version of Fightcade, your welcome to try but don't expect the most success
