It's all chromium though

wonder if firefox will be the main browser soon as that 3.0 thing comes out

Manifest v3's the thing

I can never remember the name of it, cause I'm an old man.

Microsoft is American and makes it better than CCP

It's a sarcasm btw

timber viper
#

on the subject who I prefer to sent my data unwillingly I'm serious

#

but almost everything feels like better than CCP

#

even some specific.. presidents.. in the world

quasi mantle
#

Many "privacy activists" have bias on that regards anyway

Uncle Sam is free to skin me deep, but CCP needs more than dozen layer of c||ondom||

timber viper

whats the % record?

shit .. solid argument

It's the same old ending, time to go

hey.. if you think you can change the subject with a cute animal when I ask a question...

you're right

so relatable omg

this is not fun at all cryalot

i can steal from RigVM

I never used, just meme'd but I get why it sucks now

@past rover flax engine is also considering c++ as script

#

like you

#

though 3 min is quite achievement

broken sigil
timber viper

even godot takes 8 min

timber viper
cursive crypt
timber viper
#

which c++ version

#

and how much iwyu

#

why not 20

#

use coroutines

#

be innovative

#

thats not possible

#

unless you have something better than 5990x thing

timber viper
#

that doesnt count

#

real chads modify the engine

cursive crypt

timber viper
#

there was also a reply and cool feedback from a riot games programmer too

#

why not?

#

there are always creative people

#

please stop considering javascript

broken sigil
cursive crypt
#

stop considering c#

timber viper
timber viper
#

even exist in editor

#

part after "and" is difficult

broken sigil
#

What I'm saying is interpreting the bytecode should be cleaner to parse and generate C++ code based on it than having custom logic for different types of nodes

timber viper
#

ah sorry - 5.04am moment

#

3

#

but its not possible

#

without engine modifications

broken sigil
timber viper
#

I could use dissambler to see human readable bytecode output

#

but its also troublesome

#

.uasset doesnt have bytecode in parsable format afaik

broken sigil
#

You can probably hack you way around it to get it

Wait, Eren-chan wants to implement a VM inside UE? ๐Ÿค”

timber viper
cursive crypt
#

Ah... why?

timber viper
# cursive crypt Ah... why?

Mostly to learn and gain experience, but also hoping to get it working at least at "c++ preview plugin" level

#

pasta*

#

who tf would travel that far for a sandwhich?

#

not me

#

same thing as "use UE instead of writing game engine"
which makes sense.. but I liked that pasta a lot

How do you make your Unreal game moddable for players? So they can make new maps, etc

cursive crypt
#

Hire developers

broken sigil
#

@timber viper what about instead of converting everything to c++ what epic tried to do and what has way too many edge cases

Why not implement something like dummy nodes nativization start/end

And when packaging or whatever it converts that part of the bp into a c++ function for and replaces the logic in the bp with the c++ function ๐Ÿค”

timber viper
#

UGS thing or custom level editor with some suffering

timber viper
#

and function graphs

#

you only get to nativize a few little things

cursive crypt
#

Also physics rotation collisions, pretty plz

timber viper
#

I thought of a "collapsed graph" that bakes everything into a file in a module - it was even going to had input/output params, similar to "Math Expression" node but I'm stuck at nativizing function graphs and things you call from outside of the class scope

#

link pls ๐Ÿ˜„

broken sigil
timber viper
#

FInstancedStruct

steady fox
#

does anyone know if blueprints need a force update for the UE water system?

timber viper
#

for example when you call BP_Weapon's function from a nativized code block inside of BP_Character

#

BP_Weapon's functions are not nativized

#

so overhead remains

#

you only optimize current function calls inside of the start/end scope

#

haskell?

#

cobol?

#

fortran 1970?

broken sigil
timber viper
quaint basalt
#

Are there any Unreal Engine games I can make maps for? Want to practice mapping without having to make a whole game first, kind of like the quake mapping community, but getting reps on UE instead

broken sigil
#

I kinda wish epic implemented this nativization of specific regions of the graph

#

Instead of what they tried to do

timber viper
timber viper
#

it was how data was passed to generated file

#

which was similar to hot reload

#

breaking references etc

#

and custom reflected types like collision enums etc required custom support

#

so its completely about Epic didnt want to fix nativization if I'm right

#

I couldnt bear reading nativization code from github repo thats why I cant be sure

broken sigil
#

The problem was also often that it was missing includes or modules and it would fail to even compile

#

Kinda what I'm suggesting ๐Ÿ˜…

timber viper
#

disappears to write a K2Node and node-to-file syncing stuff

cursive crypt
#

Nativizations is like the ultimate straw for drowning people

broken sigil
#

Like if you have a part of the logic that you know it's slow you could mark it for nativization to only convert that part

timber viper
#

because if i would want to use C++ i wouldnt touch BPs at the first place

broken sigil
#

Sorry I'm just too amazing, I can't help it

timber viper

they half-ass many things

broken sigil

Ask them why component transform update performance is still as* ๐Ÿฅฒ

timber viper
#

i already integrated squirellnoise

#

he didnt answer when i did

#

btw Sony has a slide from 2006 explains why Epic's current algorithms suck at 2023

broken sigil
#

The technology is simply just not there yet, by 2043 we might be able to do it ||/s||

#

Btw @timber viper where are you placing the generated files

timber viper
#

do any better than being mocked since 2006? because thats also quite achievement ๐Ÿ˜„

The whole current component system should go in a dumpster if they plan on improving it

this doesnt help with marketing of xii

one step more nonsense and you'll say Blueprints VM is fast

why you delete stuff

slow down your GC time

its a common thing on every other engine

except UE

#

why its secret

#

It didnt hurt UE

One of the last things I heard was someone picking up their rabbit from the ground caused it to break its spine.

My rabbit was vicious

Had to wear welding gloves to pick the bugger up

cursive crypt
#

The other day a chef told me how to differentiate a rabbit's meat from cat's one.

#

One had flat ribs. Forgot who tho, I think it was the rabbit.

regal pecan
#

They both have curved ribs. ๐Ÿคท

broken sigil
#

I think they mean like the bone itself is round/flat

cursive crypt
#

Yeah, the bone profile.

broken sigil
#

I'm like 99% sure cats have round ribs

fleet tangle
#

It's rabbits.

pearl elk
#

Ive never eaten cat ribs

regal pecan
#

Pro tip: Remove the ribs before serving cat.

trail wedge
#

when you guys eat the corpse of your enemy do you take the bones out? I think they're a pretty nice crunch when you're in the mood

#

obviously after you got the blood out for a smoothie

steady fox
#

I have to get my head around replication for inventories

regal pecan
#

Replicate changes and in case of a desync refresh the whole shebang.

steady fox
#

It's pretty much the last thing to replicate

regal pecan
#

I'd think the player controller would recommend actions for the inventory to take but otherwise be separate (a la controllers and pawns)

steady fox
#

I thought I could get away with structs

#

Not surprising considering 3D CG in anime often take a backseat, and done in half-assed way.

they could've named it "the epic password reset" like that "the great depression" thing

i think the great depression was something like a recession

i am not too sure

bleak remnant

normally when people refer to a historical event they don't put "thing" after

you were alive when it happened?

i don't even live where it happened, i think it was some European stuff

unborn lotus

Western world stuff

bleak remnant
#

literal worldwide thing

#

but ok

#

pretty much only place that wasn't effected was the Soviet Union

maybe it's because you don't really suffer from not trading if there's no trading to begin with y'know

so over 50 can't vote?

there's too many repeat posts with bots as well

e.g. subreddit with lesser known franchises

i guess there would be less offenders in smaller communities

that just doesn't make sense to me ๐Ÿ˜„

pearl elk
#

they said there wont be much gore or violence overall, that they can do better than the games

fluid bloom

well that's expected imo because a tv show doesn't require a gameplay loop (which is violence and gore essentially in the game)

pearl elk
#

in a way but the world of Last of Us is pretty violent on its own, not sure what it'll be without that. Probably a talkfest monologue city like TWD

#

who knows, maybe they'll take advantage of the lighter sequences in the games, the zoo escape or the museum but without the darkness not sure how much impact those would have

I know what it'll be, its a show about an old guy hoisting a young girl up into places to drop down ladders ๐Ÿ˜›

The striker latch for my wifeโ€™s car came off today, that was a pretty interesting fix

My biggest question was how they got it on to begin with

deep copper
#

was it a weird and uncomfortable fix

#

Extremely weird and uncomfortable

#

There wasnโ€™t any missing washers so I canโ€™t seem to figure out how they got it on when they built it to begin with let alone stay in place

thin aspen
fleet tangle
#

Oh.

#

Well I can see that being a problem.

thin aspen
#

And this is metal to plastic so itโ€™s not like they could have welded it, it doesnโ€™t look like there was any glue there either

fleet tangle
#

There might be a screw the other side.

thin aspen
#

But the solution was to get a nut and screw the bolt into the nut and just hammer it into the hole that was there

fleet tangle
#

Screw/bolt

marble sparrow
thin aspen
#

The screws were outward facing, the only thing I could think of is maybe like a flange, but the flange wouldnโ€™t have been able to fall through to the inside of the body

deep copper
thin aspen
#

And even if they did fall through I would have seen them sitting in my driveway

thin aspen
#

Either way though itโ€™s fixed and I can now go play video games, and more importantly the car can be driven without having to hold the door when you make turns

fleet tangle
#

You'd be better off tying it up...

thin aspen
#

Then Iโ€™d have to drill a hole in the car because if I tie it through the holes there the car door wonโ€™t close all the way

fleet tangle
#

Tie something on the inside of the door to the seat next to it.

Oh we already did that before with my uncles car, didnโ€™t end well

Or it was all 10 year old newbs

That's what I wanted to test out, the new Lumen stuff. Looks great! Even with the stylized art which makes the game look cheap/plasticy overall (to my eyes)

Would love to see this tech at work with a more realistic art style

i tried mortal shell. i got lost in first 10 minutes. and since theres no map. well thats it for me

timber viper
#

I realized any engine I can access going through a cursed development process instead of actually satisfying the people using it and somehow this seems to be becoming something people get used to very easily - which I am not able to

#

UE suffering from tech debt and fortnite oriented development has some serious disadvantages
Unity is already losing its userbase since two years
Godot also has its own problems, duroxx listed them well a while ago
Others are not even significant enough to mention

So either be indie or big budget company there isnt an engine you'll pickup and use without getting used to tech debt and bugs

#

So tldr following engine development diaries bore me because of that

#

Especially after lumen and nanite shipped to 5.0 as production ready but with tons of bugs

unkempt solar
#

tech debt is complicated thing

#

from one side: you see crappy code and stuff not working all the time

#

from the other: you have tens of tools to do hundreds of things inside the engine

timber viper
#

Yeah, always a dilemma
But my specific annoyance with UE is radical steps only taken if Fortnite needs it, meanwhile many core legacy stuff still exists in the engine and causing everyone to waste time during development

unkempt solar
#

well changes in UE are either for Fortnite or for "Big AAA Studio" client

timber viper
#

Pretty sure many AAA Studio complained about hot reload and legacy transform update logic since years but hot reload only replaced after 7 years and transform system yet to be... Kept in a "soon" status

All I know is when you want to fix things you are able to, many examples exist

trail wedge

timber viper
#

Anyway off to bed, wasnt expecting an actual convo from my reply

trail wedge
#

it's about picking the engine that best fits the specific type of game you want to make

#

like anything it's about gathering requirements first

#

that's because they don't think like an engineer lol

#

most of the people I see talking about the engine war are "ideas" type

#

It may be overlooked as a way to get rich quick exactly, and the people pursuing that don't know how to think like an engineer and gather their requirements
instead they let emotions guide their decisions

timber viper
#

I dont want to rely on Epic to fix lumen, statetree and some control rig stuff but I'm also not rich enough to hire an army of engineers to maintain stuff on my own

#

Im not talking about gameplay framework stuff here

trail wedge
timber viper
#

I want engines to be reliable with updates

trail wedge
#

I haven't seen a game that needs Lumen for anything (it's a nice to have)

timber viper
trail wedge
queen isle
#

is fornite the only game that shipped with lumen? I would imagine other devs would try to get on that hype train

timber viper
#

Its not just a for loop, its about data binding system and memory management

trail wedge
#

those were choices you made

timber viper
#

I dont care, I just want things to be maintained so I wont care about wasting months to rewrite things if they are promised to be production ready

I dont care, I just want things to be maintained so I wont care about wasting months to rewrite things if they are promised to be production ready

This is the wrong attitude to have imo

You aren't a AAA studio so you aren't Epic's main customer; they don't care what you think and they aren't beholden to give you anything.

You should use systems that are already ready instead of trying to use cutting edge stuff hoping it will be ready in the future when they expected.

#

people who wrote their game in C++ were more often respected than those in Blueprints
this will always be true any time there's a script made for less experienced users and a compiled language for more experienced users

timber viper
#

AAA studios dont get their demands easily either, most of the stuff still revolves around fortnite. I mostly complain about features to promised to added almost always released broken or buggy these days and marketed as production ready. And if I can manage to reach to some income Epic also will earn money from my project too so I dont get the ignoring everyone else but important clients and fortnite only care thing

trail wedge

#

this is what I mean by accepting reality

FWIW AAA devs either replacing parts of the engine with other libraries, or made their own implementation

Niagara Fluid performance was kinda shit, and I want to go through length of implementing my own fluid sim in lower level fashion. Though it's currently in my lower prioritiy

queen isle
#

How you looked at fluid ninja?

trail wedge
quasi mantle
#

Sure, there is FluidNinja LIVE, but I found the performance to be a little too heavy on lower end hardware, considering how it was higher level

#

Even then I'm not necessarily looking for super accurate fluid simulation, just something good enough for wind / weather system

#

One from God of War came into mind (though it's not exactly fluid sim and just rippling motion)

#

Yeah, I'm exploring lower level RDG implementation and do some compute shader. Tbh it's figuring out things as I go along.
