insipred is taking something and going off of it to make new things, parodying is making a joke of it and stealing is copying word for word

stealing is just taking and saying it's yours. Parody is doing something mimicing the original for comedic effect. Inspiring is making something similar but different with your own input

I stick to co-op games. Cheaters are rare and you don't get banned or lose your precious win rate for leaving. Best part, the players who conveniently ignore when there's a cheater on their team? They flat out don't exist.
Most of the reason cheaters are toxic is the game's design and community itself.

I mean I haven't personally but from what I've heard try playing VR at anything below 60 fps

that's something else, imho
also with higher refresh rate comes lower latency from controller input to video output, which takes a big role in VR
if controller input lags behind too far, you probably get nausea quicker

UAsset probably has some text in it.
carmine frigate
all files are text files
pearl elk
UFS, Unreal File System
fleet tangle
It's UFS. It's File-o-mite.
pearl elk
Im gonna generate my entire game on start up ๐คฃ
carmine frigate
remember when gltf was gunna be all great and fix all imports.... but different programs use different axis
and now its just a container for the same text
also its not maintained
pearl elk
I figure if Im gonna be committing binaries I might as well just do the raws and leave the asset imports to the client end...
carmine frigate
basically its the worst format of all
carmine frigate
i was able to export a gltf file from build UE project just by exporting a text file with .gltf extention or some shit like that
i have no idea why i did that anymore
think it was recording physics animations and exporting em
totally wasted time on that
pearl elk
why was it a waste, anim is probably one of UEs strong points
carmine frigate
well you can record em in engine and export em in any format... dont need to do it in build
well i think u can export in gltf with the epic plugin
results when imported in blender are as questionable as all formats
pearl elk
Tends to be the way, interchange formats rarely function as they should because of limitations of the applications theyre used with
I swear most of my issues with FBX has to do with Max and not the format itself
carmine frigate
unreal doesnt know bone end.. or bone length... thats the whole problem
pearl elk
yeah Ive seen it screw up twist bone orientations on export
carmine frigate
if there are no leaf bones shit is just fucked
pearl elk
then you try to use that exported rig to skin to and it all just goes kaput
carmine frigate
also with the paragon characters the face is done in another program by another artist
orientation is reversed... also one is arm.l and face is earR
so u cant script that ๐
its inconsistent and just horrible
pearl elk
This is why some artists deserve a clip around the earR hole ๐
pearl elk
I dont actually like that the root bone is called root, I would prefer if the root was extended from a bone named after the actor. Then I could have multiple rigs imported to 3dsmax. I can use that naming convention on my own stuff but its a pain to modify core like Manny
carmine frigate
so if u export out again you have dual verts
pearl elk
if you try to import multiple rigs with root as root it just overwrites the other one, so you couldnt put a person in a rigged car and export selected, you gotta use fancy xrefs
I dunno how it works in other apps though, in Max its a pain in the butts
carmine frigate
well its build for max... blender has more pain
i say marketplace asstets need a workable source file for both blender and max or should not be accepted
pearl elk
Trouble is alot of those raw assets follow Epics conventions of root as root, makes it difficult when you want to compare two rigs
carmine frigate
and it needs an extra rig with leaf bones
pearl elk
They fixed the shoulder blades in the new Manny didnt they?
carmine frigate
dunno, never had much problems with the manny shoulder
pearl elk
its pretty noticeable with weapon poses, he looks really hunched over because theres no poke out the back from the shoulder blade
gears of war backpack syndrome lol
carmine frigate
well bottom line is ... epic not great with exporting out of UE... that puts a ton of extra work if you want to alter marketplace assts other than extures
if i grab a cow from the farm pack and i want to change a few verts... make the cow more fat or something... im goin to have to spend more time fixing the seam rips and other stuff than i spend making the cow fat
pearl elk
Yeah I agree, I tend to buy MP assets which have FBX. Its still a real pain though to try to move in and out of UE seamless with some apps, obviously some are better than others. I find most examples Epic show of their tools are very limited sets of functionality and some of it doesnt relate to actual dev flows at all
I can definitely dig some of the cool stuff they do but everything gets hyped to 11 regardless just because theyre always in this "sell sell sell" mode
carmine frigate
yea... all the MP stuff i own was free.... but ill never buy any MP assets cuz its only use As is
well for rigs and meshes that is
i guess particles.. code and BPs are fine if they are good
pearl elk
I tend to check out MP sellers, see what their support is like. So far Im fairly lucky and they have supported their products pretty well but acouple just imported some sounds in UAsset and thats it... not even any proper soundcues
pearl elk
Thats why I avoid larger MP packs, integration becomes more of a pain than making the systems myself. I dont blame them for tight integration but they dont really consider the user requirements of other developers and I mean why would they
It might get better with the more modular frameworks but unfortunately there is alot of tutorials out there for doing things the UE4 way. People arnt required to support game framework or the like so who knows if we'll actually get plugins which can snap together properly. Ive not seen it in a real world use case only these finely tuned examples which exploit the best possible scenarios

I personally would stay away from BP only assets
But tbf C++ ones can be equally bad

Just odd to me from a business perspective to not try to pivot and recoup some of the costs rather than just bug out early and ensure losses
Could say the same for Lawbreakers or Paragon too, lots of cool art wasted
One of the things I enjoyed most about being a modder was the idea I had a whole game worth of assets to play with and I didnt have to build an entire game from scratch.

#3 Space is dependent on how often you backup
#4 Space is dependent on what you are backuping
#5 If you work off external drives, they are not made for working off of, due to speed, and the way those harddrives are classed as "Archive" there usage is expected to be that of storage
#6 Unreal eats hard drive writing data for breakfast
#7 If you still want to use an external drive for working from, then imagine you are working on a project, and the HDD that sits on your desk gets knocked, you knock a glass of water on it, your PC dies and fries the port, you plug it in the wrong way by mistake, short the USB port and fry the HDD, you have animals that knock it off - HDD spin at 5200RPM/7200RPM, a slight bump can make the head reader scratch the platter, and good luck getting that fixed/recovered, that type of thing will cost you $1800+ AUD, I know because I use to work in a tech store and see everything like this all the time.
TLDR; Hippity Hoppity, don't work from external drives, and the amount of storage you need is unlimited.

@zinc matrix as a web developer of 7 years you never learned basic online etiquette, and attempted to send a notification to over ten thousand people to look at your message? ๐ค

I'm glad there's limited self promotion on here, a lot of other servers are a cesspit of look-at-my-game or hire me

Seems pretty standard to have it set up like this on all larger servers I'm a member of... it'd immediately get out of hand otherwise
I'm sure a lot of people are just excited to share their work but they just don't think about what they're doing lol
(Or they mistakenly think other gamedevs are their game's target audience which is almost never the case)
