We will be extracting some caffeine from coffee today! I used regular coffee grounds, but I think the process is actually faster and easier with instant coffee.

In theory the yield should have been hovering around 300mg if ALL the caffeine was removed. However, I got around 10% of that (30mg). Apparently 10g makes about a cup of coffee, so a yi...

Sometimes curiosity just gets the best of you.

It is opt-in.

I should have taken better notes lol

fleet tangle

Does anyone else actually use the notes feature?!

cursive crypt

I don't think Mons is offended easily, I would have did that already otherwise 🤔

I think the only time I've ever used that is when people keep changing their name on steam because they're twats.

She kept notes too? I see.

cursive crypt

Hey, not true, I used this once-twice too. I just forgot on who.

are the geometry brushes still used ?

fleet tangle

Xero, are you using a white Discord theme btw?

zinc matrix

unreal documentation guide says taht geometry brushes are not used anymore

I got an offer to darken it 🤔

Discord offered me to fix your About box because too flashy.

cursive crypt

Yeah, I don't know what exactly, told me I can fix it in my settings.

On my side it is pure white.

At the start it was all very serious

trail wedge

they changed their YouTube to "Mr. Green" so people would stop confusing "NileGreen" for Nile

I bought lots of soy and ate it for 1 week

I was not a soyboy

it doesn't matter how much soy you eat/drink lol

chat GPT is handy in general, I find myself using it instead of digging through google search

broken sigil
#

would love to have it as a replacement for the windows search 😅
Which actually there have been some talks of that actually happening, being natively integrated in Windows

pearl elk
#

Its not very inventive though, it understands questions very well but it gets stuck on speculation

cursive crypt

iirc, MS dropped like $1B into that

fleet tangle

I've literlaly never gotten chatgpt to work.

All I ever get is...

For it to be more useful in the design space it needs to be more inventive, its great at running through things that are already in the knowledge sphere though

So, be ready to link your Outlook account to chatgpt

pearl elk

Hey its useful and it doesnt steal my job so its a win/win for me

ms win/win

pearl elk

I just use my google login for open ai

broken sigil

it's funny how wrong it can be when you ask it to show a code snippet for something

timber viper
#

ChatGPT still cant find a reasonable way to make me avoid using const cast on specific places so it still sucks

pearl elk

main issue with OAuth is remembering which account you linked so you dont get dupes

cursive crypt

I still dunno why they want your phone number to use that chatgpt 🤔

fleet tangle

Heh

broken sigil
pearl elk

2 factor authentication, everyone wants a phone number... not that its difficult to clone one

broken sigil

Because there is a limit of how many questions you can ask per hour, ran into it yesterday 😅

Sure, it is for good.

give them your CC deets they sus, give em your phone... oh dat legit

I think I figured it out, chatGPT-4 will be just named Bing

Well, I say "works fine." The prompt "Test" is taking ages.

Oh fantastic.

pearl elk

It's giving me some good responses to I'm going to play a female chaotic evil gnome sorcerer in a d&d game. Can you suggest some catchphrases?

pearl elk

Edge is old news, Phoenix is where its at

broken sigil

I asked it how to get good
Oh mortal, to become truly good, one must sacrifice a goat to Zeus and perform the sacred ritual dance of the Delphic Oracle. Only then shall the gods smile upon thee and grant thee greatness.

sooo... who's got a spare goat here 🤔

fleet tangle

Well, I mean I am the GOAT.

pearl elk

chatGPT is ancient greek confirmed

broken sigil

it's also very very good at translating stuff to other languages

even if it sometimes says it can't do it, it eventually it does it very well

Guys, random question. I made a matchmaker for Unreal servers (not a real project tied to anything, just for fun) and I have no idea what to add any more. Does anyone have ideas? 😄
This is what I currently have:

  • A queue for players that will automatically let you join a server if one becomes available.
  • Servers healthcheck / servers automatically connect etc.
  • A small web interface to monitor things and set the amount of players per server that can enter.
#

Also don't mind the horrible looking interface, I'm not a designer lol.

You can't, at least not good enough. Focus on something you're good at and outsource the rest

Have you saw that BPM game?

zinc matrix

So according to me, the major skills to learn for games are: coding, music, generic modeling

carmine frigate

Has some flips, but the core idea is timed activations.

now I am learnng unreal engine, how far can I go with blueprints only?

cursive crypt
zinc matrix

i think I got a mental retardation

carmine frigate
#

id say most game stuff is covered with BPs

zinc matrix
#

I discovered this mental retardation recently

#

I was trying to make an architecture and I discovered that I am retarded

unborn lotus
#

I personally am vector math challenged

zinc matrix
#

Basically my brain has tremendous difficulties with dealing with space

#

Wow, I didnt know I was so retarded

carmine frigate
#

vector A + vector B is vector C

#

pretty simple

zinc matrix
#

I think with some effort I will be able to solve the situation

unborn lotus
zinc matrix
#

I think there is a formula to do vectors sum

#

if you go online you should find the formula

carmine frigate
#

it means vector C is vec A + vec B

zinc matrix
#

if I understand it right, a vector is a container for 3 numbers

carmine frigate
#

no

zinc matrix
#

there should be an x,y,z

zinc matrix
#

this is if I understand it right, but if you are interested you can google it

carmine frigate
#

a vector3 is 3 numbers.. a vector2 is 2 numbers and a vector4 is 4 numbers

carmine frigate
#

also a vector100 is 100 numbers

zinc matrix
#

oh yes I remember when I was doing 2D games

#

there was this "vector2" function

unborn lotus
#

I thought vectors were arrows in 3d space

zinc matrix

by the way, who cares, you just google it when you need it

unborn lotus

Euclidean vectors*

pearl elk
#

Im just a spectator here, please continue 😛

carmine frigate
zinc matrix
#

in unreal engine, vector 3 is a color

#

you search vector 3 in the material creation tab and you get a color

#

or maybe its called constant

#

whatever

regal pecan

They're stored as vectors because 3 floats is 3 floats (or 4 floats, oh no)

I was tryn to understand the papers for rendering engines

how hard it is to make a rendering engine?

cursive crypt
#

Unlining code since 00's

regal pecan
#

nothing is hard if your standards are low enough

zinc matrix
#

I have to understand how to make animation, I think i got the modeling part right

#

For now I only did bouncing ball exercizes and simple loops

pearl elk
zinc matrix
#

but I am growing tired of making loops

zinc matrix
#

in the unreal engine there is an animation blueprint

#

I loaded my animation and I noticed that it lacked transitions between states

carmine frigate
#

🙂

zinc matrix
#

for example, when the character I loaded was jumping, the next state in the State Machine was "idle" and it was very abrupt

#

I dont like it

#

where can I find an example of a state machine already made, that covers the presence of intermediary states in animation?

carmine frigate
#

the 3rd person template

zinc matrix
#

Like, somebody should already have made a very good animation state machine somewhere, so where can I see an example of this?

carmine frigate
#

than prolly the unreal5 demo

#

mayB lyra

zinc matrix
#

I think if I have to plan an animation for unreal engine I should start from the state machine, right?

carmine frigate
#

prolly start with the 3rd person and replace current anims and go from there

zinc matrix
#

I also dont know how to make that cool IK leg that collides like in the template

carmine frigate
#

thats in the anim graph somewhere i think

zinc matrix
#

another question. If I loaded some aniamtions, but I want to load 1 more, can I just do another FBX import and select the skeletal mesh I already imported?

carmine frigate
#

yea... if it says a big WARNING it might break stuff tho

zinc matrix
#

amazing

should be enoug

to train myself in animation I am making a short animated sequence

its shareware, you only get the first episode free

it is for most ppl

I am not making millions so I can use unreal enigne as much as I want

As soon as fortnite dies out, Epic is kaput.

zinc matrix

is it so fragile ?

carmine frigate

nah they on the infinite money tap now

zinc matrix
#

My opinion is that epic games should stop bullshitting around and do unreal tournament 5

zinc matrix
#

I mean, they are great, they do the best things, why bullshitting around

#

I think that the corporate raiders dont want to abandon the idea of making stupid games, becuase they fear risk

regal pecan
# trail wedge nah

as long as fortnite keeps going I never have to commit to that statement

zinc matrix
#

but why not paying some passionate people a small amount of money to do unreal tournament 5? that would totally save epic games from shame and failure

pearl elk
#

I do feel like there's only so far they can go with pushing graphics fidelity, its not a bad thing but it'll be diminishing returns verses other things they could explore

zinc matrix

no idea bro

I think its all about boomer shooter

People dont even care that much about graphics

carmine frigate

I know I don't care about graphics... especially ones trying to be realistic

pearl elk

Thats why Avatar Way of Water is one of the highest grossing movies 😛

fortnite is really amazing

#

I was surprised by the amount of positive things fortnite has

timber viper
#

I need Project Borealis to be released soon™️

zinc matrix
#

most games today try to be pretentious and arrogant with the graphics and that b-grade narrative they always pack

#

fortnite instead is so good

trail wedge
zinc matrix
#

its one of the things that convinced me that unreal is the best choice

timber viper
zinc matrix
#

fortnite has pickups, no health regenration, its like a boomer shooter basically

carmine frigate
#

yea fortnite is pretty good.. kinda fun

timber viper
#

last update 2020 - but I know team is still alive

zinc matrix
#

there is the shield, the character movement is quite fast

trail wedge
#

Fortnite is just modern Unreal Tournament

zinc matrix
#

yes

#

fortnite is amazing

#

I mean, I dont think its a game I would play repeatedly , but I am pleased it exists

#

lucky you

zinc matrix
#

I got an idea to avoid making hundreds of weapon models

#

but I dont tell you because the idea is very good

timber viper
#

I played HL1 when I was 5 or something

#

I still remember lol

carmine frigate
zinc matrix
#

I got the headache

#

when you play half life you get a headache

carmine frigate
#

i best most of the half life creators are out

cursive crypt
carmine frigate
#

hell it wasnt even their engine originally

timber viper
#

I need to be 5 again

#

remembering that HL1 memories gave me depression

cursive crypt
#

5 was just the demo

timber viper
#

rest of the story sucks

Now, enter the microtransactions

Valve developed using GoldSrc, a heavily modified version of the Quake engine, licensed from id Software.

Heavily modifying an engine and renaming it was pretty typical. Still would be, if UE were any good.

pearl elk
#

Vengeance Engine

regal pecan
#

I wonder what crumbs unigine subsists on.

pearl elk
#

Superposition Benchmark is pretty popular

#

reasoning Ive seen for UE not being used as a benchmark is because they add new things too often lol

carmine frigate
#

they been using blender lately for benchmarks so thats cool

pearl elk
#

Apparently Fortnite is problematic for the same reason, it just updates alot and they need to recreate the data set too often so it makes more work for them

#

you're a noob

proud jay
pearl elk
#

You should write a Star Wars sequel

tulip orbit
#

I blame my cold for me not remembering how to do a simple integer clamp with overflow

tulip orbit
#

reads some docs and posts about async loading in c++

#

explodes

carmine frigate
#

now you have multiple threads trowing errors 🙂

tulip orbit
#

as if I need anymore!

#

also, I think I can avoid my problem entirely. Currently, I have an item info struct, which would be used in the data table storing all the info for each item. Then a seperate struct for what actually stores in the inventory array, theoretically with fewer variables/memory cost. But it seems theres only a difference of about 4 variables, and they're tiny!

#

the async loading issue came about because the icons for the item were softobjectptrs in the datatable struct, but direct references in the inventory struct cause then it'll be displayed in the inventory HUD

#

if I ditch the second slightly smaller struct, and just use the main struct all around, I can handle the async loading on the BP side where its just a simple node

#

tho I've also failed to take into account how to handle weapons/gear with upgrades

#

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

pearl elk
#

Thats the exact thing Im working on atm, weapons & gear w/upgrades

#

Im actually beginning to wonder if I dont usually use too many fields for data and this whole thing can be simplified by only having variables for the data which matters

tulip orbit
#

my first thought is to add a string variable that would hold the upgrades in something I'd have to split and whatnot

#

I dont usually use enough variables

pearl elk
#

trying to avoid enums because it locks me into a method

tulip orbit
#

enums are good when you know all the different possibilities ahead of time

#

I never plan that far ahead

pearl elk
#

I really wish there were a dynamic list of names, I like that sort of expansibility for mods later because I like to tinker with things

#

even if it doesnt make sense like L_Arm, R_Arm, L_Leg, R_Leg at some point maybe theres a spider with 6 legs and no arms, maybe theres 4 legs and 2 arms, you just never know

#

and having a name field which is filtered by a tarray of names would be helpful, they kinda do it with skeletons and animBP when you select bone name. Other times its regular fname which can fail

thin aspen
#

I must be a 0X game dev because my inventory system is a bunch of UObject's and some Actors

pearl elk
#

maybe I should be using gameplay tags instead of a flat list

#

+New Class ... dont press it, no you dont

tulip orbit
#

if I had any serious suggestions, I'd help out

thin aspen
#

I feel like it's one of those things where you just kinda do what works for you and is easy for you to maintain down the line

pearl elk
#

lol all good, Im just rambling abit. I can get it done, just one of those things where I dont like the way I have to do it

thin aspen
#

Definitely know that feeling

#

:sadpepe:

#

lol my droppables, are just an array with RandRange

tulip orbit
#

I do that when compiling. hit compile, 2s later I realise I forgot something important

#

yeah I bet!

#

if only I was smart enough to have stuff worth selling

thin aspen
#

Doing all the heavy lifting and selling it on the marketplace is a way to go about it

tulip orbit
#

the amount of code I've written today should have been able to be done in 1/4 of the time. But I've had to google just about every step, cause I keep forgetting the basics

#

I still need to figure out how clamp an integer and return the overflow. I've done it dozens of times, but mind go pfff

thin aspen
tulip orbit
#

yes that is exactly what I needed. 😩

#

no 😭

thin aspen
#

what is this anyway? like hour 14 of writing code?

tulip orbit
#

hour 5? I'm sick and my brain is soft mush

thin aspen
#

yeah

#

it's time for a break

tulip orbit
#

there was a decent break in there somewhere

#
            if (Item.Quantity > 99){
                itemOverflow = 99 - Item.Quantity;
            } else {
                itemOverflow = 0;
            }```
thin aspen
#

I remember trying to write something last week, after like 12 hours in i was forgetting to write Class::Function() and getting linker errors

thin aspen
pearl elk
#

did you use ChatGPT

thin aspen
#

It's the only way to write good code since everyone here is so unhelpful

#

or whatever it is people say when they're angry

pearl elk
#

you just need lounge cred

thin aspen
#

how do you cpp?

pearl elk
#

basically if your arse hasnt made an imprint on the lounge you got no cred 😛

thin aspen
#

i was just making fun of the people who say they can't get help (read: have someone write their code or be their personal tutor)

tulip orbit
#

sweet. By the time I get back from a quick break, and able to understand that, it will be scrolled up too far. saved in txt file 🙂 thanks

thin aspen
#

My lounge cred is through the roof mayne

#

But I also make a lot of assumptions in my code which i'm sure is bad

tulip orbit
#

well, 2+hrs in and I havent finished my AddItem() function

#

also, it smells like bubblegum outside

thin aspen
#

It smelled like lemon pledge outside the other day

tulip orbit
#

wierd

thin aspen
#

I was also sick at that time

tulip orbit
#

usually I get smells like oil, cow dung, or the laundry of somebody near

#

I'm sick too, wonder if thats whats causing it

thin aspen
#

Maybe due to not smelling for so long you now have a heightened sense of smell

tulip orbit
#

Oh, i smell things here in my apartment. Unpleasant things....

thin aspen
#

Did you flush after every drop?

pearl elk
#

I remember when I lived on the 4th floor and my dunny got clogged

tulip orbit
#

So true

thin aspen
thin aspen

Too late! Already feel bad!

thin aspen

As long as it doesn’t take you longer than 3 months to additem() you’re doing better than me

But youre a gamedev pro.... or is your username a lie?

thin aspen

My name is….. not the truth

tulip orbit
thin aspen
#

But but but, I bought the 25 dollar course that’s worth $800

tulip orbit
#

I just learn by trial and endless errors. Also by bugging ppl in #cpp

thin aspen
#

I’m at the “just use what UE gives you” stage with a little bit of “roll my own” mixed in

tulip orbit
#

bugs?

thin aspen
#

Correct

#

The latest bug I had made my enemy actors walk to the center of the map rather than follow the path from the start point to the end point along their route

timber viper
#

Anyone knows why would an article wont appear on github pages even though it passed the tests (and it reported as deployed)?

#

I thought it was suppose to automatically display it when I uploaded it to repo (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

thin aspen
timber viper
#

what endpoint means?

thin aspen
#

that wasn't it, but the endpoint as end the end of the url

#

I'm guessing it's supposed to be blueprint-part-two, but that gives me a 404 error

timber viper
#

😔

thin aspen
#

Like is it set to be public?

#

outside of something like that the only solution i can think of is ask laura

timber viper
#

I can but doubt she knows anything specific

thin aspen
#

I don't think it could be anything too major if you deployed the page the exact same way you did the other one. I don't use github pages so I'm really just guessing honestly.

I'm gonna suggest a bottle of that stuff for the LAN party thing I've gone to

I have a whole bunch of wtfs looking at my code from back then

tulip orbit

I've only got one project I'm actually proud of, my top down RPG. Most of it was pretty great, other than character and town art. characters look like crrraaaaapp

#

I havent looked at the code, but I'm sure its a pretty good mess

turbid spindleBOT

:question: should owninator build a modernised ownreal editor?
:8ball: Concentrate and ask again.

carmine frigate
tulip orbit
#

lies!

carmine frigate
#

no its true!

broken sigil
#

Considering I was like 14-15 when I started the project, including all the code, 3d modelling, texturing I did all by myself
I'm actually pretty proud of it

tulip orbit
#

that looks a million times better than anything I've made

#

😦

broken sigil

Don't think I have ever seen any of your stuff

carmine frigate

well gamey mcgameface and I AM BORIS still get downloads 🙂

Heres some of my very high quality character work

That's a better character than I could ever make lol
There is a reason why I decided to make a game with vehicles only 😅

I mean, you become a police officer for good reasons. There is something institutionalised about the methodology of fear first, arrest later that seems broken and I think it's because of the gun laws. Police in this country don't batter you down. There are cases of it but they don't feel the need to in order to do their job safely. In the US I think they are too scared to be on the streets and the machismo of the role/job tends to bring the worst out in men, whom are at their most dangerous when they are scared.
