Attributes?

[[likely]] and stuff?

[timber viper]

[[likely]]

yeah

[[deprecated]] etc

[cursive crypt]

What is bad about it? Better than compiler macro

[fleet tangle]

[[yeah]]

[cursive crypt]

[[nodiscard]]

[proud jay]

it just looks weird though

[cursive crypt]

Well, kinda, agree.

[fleet tangle]

Not as weird as php namespaces

[timber viper]

I wonder what UE's LIKELY macro does now

it was a thing before attributes

[terse wasp]

I'm also curious what digest.verse is. Maybe the .pyc equivalent?

[proud jay]

it's where the coffee gets converted

[fleet tangle]

$c = new \my\name\MyClass; 😂

[cursive crypt]

What it was doing before UE, it is a compiler intrinsic which may, or may not, be respected.

[stray orbit]

I can't wait for Verse, honestly... I can do BP, I can do C++... but this looks sweet to me. I'll adopt early. 😄

[proud jay]

if you're still alive when it releases

[cursive crypt]

Godspeed

[timber viper]

does [[likely]] has any benefits over macro version?

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, it is a native C++

[broken sigil]

yeah C++ has actually been on the rise in popularity for a while now

[timber viper]

zig is the new modern

(runs away)

[terse wasp]

I just have a few questions honestly, but just from this snippet of code, I do feel like I can easily pick it up and start being productive pretty much immediately.

[cursive crypt]

Zig, wtf is that even.

[timber viper]

Rust alternative 🤣

[proud jay]

they have a wild mascot

[cursive crypt]

Shouldn't be TicTac

[broken sigil]

syntax looks better than Verse 😅

[fleet tangle]

Tbh, it reminds me a lot of unrealscript.

[proud jay]

this is mascot for Zig

[cursive crypt]

Great, hi schoolers

[timber viper]

pub fn main() !void
awesome

[cursive crypt]

lmao

[proud jay]

this is rust mascot

[cursive crypt]

p f main() !v

[terse wasp]

I honestly think the syntax for Verse looks fine in this snippet. C++ can have some really shit style

[proud jay]

this is Go mascot

this is c++ mascot

[timber viper]

great

[cursive crypt]

I guess they all use the same app for generating these.

[terse wasp]

I fully expect @timber viper to jump on the VM to see how it ticks with Verse and how it can be used as a standalone VM.

[cursive crypt]

Except the latter, looks like MS paint

[fleet tangle]

It absolutely can. Template metaprogramming is a real nightmare for people.

[worldly sapphire]

"The nephew that does graphic design at community college"

[timber viper]

if they actually release it with UEFN 😄

[fleet tangle]

Or just templates in general.

[proud jay]

templates are like the best thing about c++

[timber viper]

and lambdas

[fleet tangle]

They are fantastic.

[broken sigil]

I mean it looks like something you can pick up in a day if you are familiar with other language but I really really dislike the syntax and the python style indentations, it just doesn't looks clean at all, far easier to at a first glance figure out the scopes with curly brackets

[cursive crypt]

Templates are fantastic. Might be ugly, if you don't what are you doing. Which can be said for whatever lang or tool.

[terse wasp]

The best thing about C++ is when I close down the IDE so I don't have to work in it anymore

[timber viper]

verse can do parallelism 50x easier than C++ though

[broken sigil]

we'll see about that 😅

[proud jay]

so can a wet noodle though

[timber viper]

thats the whole promise

[cursive crypt]

Is all about the framework. You can do magic parallelism with c++ to, having the right framework.

[stray orbit]

I appreciate the lack of brackets myself. I prefer that style.

[proud jay]

the only true intuitive concurrency stuff I've seen is in Golang

[terse wasp]

With how often I've had to hop between languages for gamedev and work - I have lessened my care about C-family vs Python-family. I still highly prefer C-family mind you.

[fleet tangle]

My point was that it's ugly and confusing. Not that it wasn't good. 🙂

[proud jay]

shit is wild

[timber viper]

true

[broken sigil]

parallel for <- here is my 50x parallelization

[timber viper]

dont you like the idea of no locks, atomics etc

to do all the parallelism

[cursive crypt]

I meant, more like it is related, no? Ugly code can be everywhere and is mostly dependant on the skill of the programmer.

[zinc matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/what-shock-wtf-wtf-gif-wtf-meme-gif-26076033

[broken sigil]

I like the idea of handling that myself 😅

[timber viper]

VM takes care of your memory

[terse wasp]

BM doesn't like things that are good. Not a good question for him.

[soft night]

C++ and C# sure yeah those are good

mixing both sure

[proud jay]

Golang also does not locks and shit

you can if you want

but you don't have to

[cursive crypt]

Erlang btw

[broken sigil]

which means it's by nature gonna be slower than properly written C++
Since it's enforcing a more strict memory model

[timber viper]

best case is 5x slower than C++

[soft night]

union BlueMan(Blue|Man)

[timber viper]

worst case is BPVM slowness, which is hell 😄

[cursive crypt]

It is either freedom or security. Kind of.

[terse wasp]

I'd take 30 programmers who can write parallel code in Verse effortlessly over 1 who can write it in C++ "properly"

[cursive crypt]

Is it compiled or it has a VM?

[timber viper]

VM

[proud jay]

Rust?

[fleet tangle]

Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

[broken sigil]

template lambdas in C++ 20

[terse wasp]

It is not often you see someone do things "properly" in C++

[timber viper]

thats why you just hire laura and move on

[proud jay]

they can be so useful, already had a use case for it with some template auto generation magic

[terse wasp]

We ain't got that kind of 💰

[timber viper]

TIL if template functions cant get inlined compiler generates a custom function with given types to make a call to it

[stray orbit]

People often misquote what this actually means though... so, it's always out of context of its actual meaning.

[timber viper]

rip binary size

[cursive crypt]

Memory vs Speed.

[proud jay]

old people have neither

[cursive crypt]

Old as time dilemma

[proud jay]

isn't that right lilly

[fleet tangle]

Much like the Shakespeare blood is thicker than water quote.

[stray orbit]

[ancient ingot]

i highly doubt it

[fleet tangle]

I got told I had a boomer mindset the other day.

I was very confused at what these upstart youngsters were saying.

[timber viper]

you watch animes, who told that

[terse wasp]

So Laura says to read line 140/141 like it is taking the Agent out of TOptional<Agent> @fleet tangle

[stray orbit]

Pffft, I'm GenX... 😅

[fleet tangle]

Yes, that bit is obvious, Duro.

It's line 141 that's the issue.

[stray orbit]

I'm from the "whatever the fuck happens happens" generation.

[fleet tangle]

Why is it just sitting there with no then: ?

[terse wasp]

Yeah - that's what she is saying.

[proud jay]

BM

[terse wasp]

Remember, this is supposed to be easy to pickup. Writing it that way makes sense for a complete beginner

[timber viper]

BM is not in the chat anymore

its only me

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/ok-millennials-ok-boomer-millennials-car-gif-15776409

[timber viper]

I'm too young for C++, why did I even do this to myself

[fleet tangle]

Line 141 makes no sense for a complete beginner. If you want an easy to pick up syntax, have one way of doing if blocks

[timber viper]

implicity != simplicity

[terse wasp]

https://tenor.com/sWE0.gif

[timber viper]

rather than being easy to pickup having a variable without anything on a line makes everyone question what its doing there though

[fleet tangle]

I am, effectively, a complete beginner in Verse and it confused me. Ergo it's terrible.

[terse wasp]

But if you're a beginner in programming, all of this would confuse you.

So check and mate

[proud jay]

https://tenor.com/view/chess-checkmate-its-it-over-gif-19022875

[timber viper]

Confusion is my default state

[proud jay]

you should read some of Confucius's work

[timber viper]

[terse wasp]

Something else I noticed. Why the two different access operators? : and .

[timber viper]

oh no

[terse wasp]

Oh way

I'm dumb

[timber viper]

i hope this is not same as lua

[terse wasp]

fort_character is the type

[fleet tangle]

Isn't Damage a function?

[terse wasp]

Carry on

[timber viper]

then what is FortCharacter

[terse wasp]

I had a braindead moment

[proud jay]

why is it being called on the type

[timber viper]

runtime type huh

[fleet tangle]

Maybe it's the variable, not the type?

[proud jay]

who names their type fort_character though

[timber viper]

well at least I'm more confident about verse wont be fast and wont ruin my nativization plugin

[fleet tangle]

Maybe neither of them is a type.

[proud jay]

it's all an illusion

[timber viper]

we're in tim's dream

having fantasies about functional programming

[fleet tangle]

Maybe all types in Verse are snake case because they dreamed of being python?

[proud jay]

more like fictional programmig amirite

[fleet tangle]

Also

If they have conditional assignments, why doesn't that conditional varaible have var? And why not use that syntax for the Agent part?

[terse wasp]

{variableName}:{variableType}

[proud jay]

ok but then I'm still confused about [] vs ()

[timber viper]

i decided to obey whatever carmack says about verse

[fleet tangle]

Good idea.

He's bound to hate it.

I hope.

[timber viper]

lol

[proud jay]

what is the [] here?

So many errors and no red squiggles? Tooling is ass.

[still geyser]

So we won't be able to write C++ plugins that can be used in a fornite creative map using UEFN?

And verse seems to be just a gameplay creating scripting language at least on launch.

[cloud crescent]

has anyone here used multi user editing before?

[lime saffron]

cod black ops cold war has got almost 135 gb

[lime saffron]

I did a couple of years ago

[lime saffron]

We had to set up an own vpn with a software of a japanese university, that was sort of banned in Japan because of internet security laws. The software had all kinds of settings to set up a VPN. One of the settings had a tooltip that went like "only alter this setting if you are a super duper networking wizard".

[cloud crescent]

i was thinking of using it with my friends on a project. but can you add blueprints and do everything you would usually do? or are you just able to move stuff around?

[lime saffron]

You can also add blueprints and assets iirc

Might be that after importing assets it was needed to restart / sync though, can't remember

But what is cool is that you can make an own version of the editor avatar bp and set an own mesh and stuff, so I went ahead back then and made those cartoonish heads as avatars

[cloud crescent]

oh thats cool

i just hope over the years they changed multi user editing to be easier

not that many videos on youtube are recent about it

[lime saffron]

It was quite a hassle to set it up, we altered all kinds of settings, set up a vpn and stuff. Some guys had problems with one setup, others had problems with another setup.

[cloud crescent]

is there an easier way to share projects like that with people? im guessing github but the halo forge like feel is cool tho

ill take some time and look into it

[lime saffron]

perforce?

[cloud crescent]

never heard of them

[lime saffron]

@cloud crescent https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/collaboration-and-version-control-in-unreal-engine/

[cloud crescent]

oh sick! thanks

[terse wasp]

Perforce is stupid expensive if you're out of the free tier

[cloud crescent]

yeah looking at that right now lol

[unreal ether]

Perforce has a free tier?

[terse wasp]

Yeah. Like 3 people

Then it jumps up to like 4k once you hit 4 people

It's not even a tiered thing

The number may be off btw, so don't quote me on the exact price.

It's just astronomically high 😅

[unreal ether]

Damnn

[cursive crypt]

Remove capacity(), reserve(), and shrik_to_fit() from container requirements and from flat_map API. T.T

[slate orbit]

In much the same way that heroin dealers have a free tier.

[broken sigil]

ok this is actually kinda cool in C++20

[fleet tangle]

I spy named function parameter structs

[broken sigil]

yeah first thing I thought of lol

this is actually really useful

[cursive crypt]

Curious fact: this was made in C 99

[fervent wagon]

I expect Rider will eventually support verse. I wouldn't be surprised if they have been working on it for a few months already.

[cursive crypt]

Rider sux

/troll-face

[fervent wagon]

Then how about an unreal integrated text editor, like in godot?

[cursive crypt]

ed rulz

[slate orbit]

u wot

[fervent wagon]

well idk if that'll happen, but it would be cool

[cursive crypt]

But yeah, I wouldn't mind something more sane.

[fervent wagon]

I would still use rider or VSCode, but still it would be cool

[slate orbit]

I spent years using ed inside lpmuds... it's not good

[cursive crypt]

Say for hlsl

[sweet rose]

Do you guys like the Saw movies

[cursive crypt]

no

What is even that?

[slate orbit]

If I'm trying to fall asleep they're okay

[sweet rose]

An engineer turns into a serial killer and the police try to catch him

[fleet tangle]

There's nothing good about Saw. Except that the word is in the past tense.

[slate orbit]

Five nights at freddy's fans probably love Saw, Daekesh, how could you say that

[sweet rose]

I love Saw, though the 2 recent releases aren't probably nice, didn't watch them either

[cursive crypt]

I find something else on imdb

[fleet tangle]

Never played FNAF tbh

[sweet rose]

Bruh

[slate orbit]

It's pretty good if you're trying to fall asleep

Dude the ending of the first Saw movie will leave your mouth gaping wide. Best twist ever. Go watch it if you haven't and don't read anything about it before watching.

[fleet tangle]

I love how the 512gb one is actually £512.

It makes me happy.

[sweet rose]

Have you ever completed a single FNAF game

[cursive crypt]

I do enough games in my life to care to play one while away from the computer 🤔

[fleet tangle]

Hehe

[slate orbit]

No, not even close, the first five minutes are too excruciating

[sweet rose]

You scared 🥸

[slate orbit]

I would rate FNAF right up there next to industry giants like ET

The gameplay of ET was somewhat more compelling but FNAF has slightly better graphics

[sweet rose]

It's one of the best horror games ever created that's why it's so successful

You probably didn't bother understanding the mechanics

[slate orbit]

Amnesia was an excellent game, FNAF was just boring

[sweet rose]

Lmao

Amnesia original fine

[cursive crypt]

You just have different views of a Horror.
Getting old, now that's a horror.

[sweet rose]

Amnesia dark descent is literally the worst horror game I've played

[slate orbit]

But you've played FNAF...

[sweet rose]

Fnaf is a masterpiece

[slate orbit]

The real horror here is the future of the games industry

[sweet rose]

I know the prepubescent fanbase it currently has may have given it a bad reputation

[slate orbit]

I don't pay attention to the reputation of games, I play them and form my own opinions

[sweet rose]

But if you play all the games in the FNAF series you will truly be playing through one of the best stories ever written

[slate orbit]

And in my opinion, the scariest part of FNAF is that it costs money

[sweet rose]

One emoji

🏴‍☠️

[slate orbit]

lol

I admit, the jump scares are worth a good chuckle the first couple of times

[sweet rose]

The gameplay on this wasn't bad but the narrative design was horrible

[terse wasp]

Ahh - the glory of C++.

[sweet rose]

Like you go through these headache inducing puzzles and the game leads you to believe that you're closer to the end but then some ridiculous bullshit happens and the character is stuck in some nonsensical place again and again and again

At one point I just wanted the main character to die

[fleet tangle]

Sounds like a skill issue.

[slate orbit]

I do think FNAF could win the award for best horror-themed powerpoint presentation, though

[zinc matrix]

poppy playtime would

[slate orbit]

I've never tried that one

But if it has at least one scary thing it probably is better

[zinc matrix]

i think they go into same category of "why are these games popular"

[unborn lotus]

Kids love them?

[zinc matrix]

probably

[sweet rose]

It's nothing like the original amnesia

It has some weird alien antagonist

And a weird alien world

[slate orbit]

I mean, no, Amnesia had gameplay

[slate orbit]

Or games

[broken sigil]

FNAF was so overhyped

I actually really liked the first and second one but they just kept on milking it

[slate orbit]

I think FNAF changed the industry, too, perhaps not in a good way

[zinc matrix]

im really liking that call of the sea game that was freebie on egs. even though it refused to launch on first time. i had to give it some weird permissions for my personal data, but eh..

havent finished it yet

story is pretty interesting so far

[slate orbit]

I just discovered that fnaf has graphic novels... and let me tell you, this is some hard hitting stuff.

[sweet rose]

Did you complete it

😂

The difference between FNAF and Amnesia is FNAF kept getting better every game

And made more money

[broken sigil]

I watched it ages ago on YT 😅

[sweet rose]

Made by one guy with a dream

[slate orbit]

"Kept getting better"... they didn't start with a very high bar to begin with

[sweet rose]

It was made by one guy

[slate orbit]

So was Stardew Valley

And flappy bird

[sweet rose]

Oh yeah how many games has Erik Barone made

1

[slate orbit]

Which both had better gameplay

[sweet rose]

Both had good gameplay

Better is subjective

And FNAF too

Yes

If by streamer money you mean twitch

FNAF story is better than any of the amnesia games

Nuff said

[slate orbit]

I still doubt it

I can't even read these graphic novels preview pages without cringing painfully

[sweet rose]

Big fan of point and click I admit

[sweet rose]

I don't know what those are lol

[slate orbit]

Bad

[sweet rose]

Haven't followed the game since Sister Location

For me that's where the game's story ended

Dafuq

[slate orbit]

Just, truly terrible

But it certainly does prove your point about the incredible story

[sweet rose]

I don't know what that is haha

[slate orbit]

It's a page from an officially licensed FNAF graphic novel you can buy on Amazon

[sweet rose]

Judging from the reviews the people like it

[slate orbit]

Not surprising

[zinc matrix]

is there one for those backrooms games though?

[slate orbit]

I still don't really know what a backroom game is

To me that's a mafia-run card game in the back room of a bar

I know there's some weird new niche games called that but I don't know what they are, if Steam has them it at least has the presence of mind not to show them to me

It does still advertise call of duty because I play Elden Ring, which is an obvious connection

[zinc matrix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4dGpz6cnHo&ab_channel=KanePixels i think it started from this video

at some point lots of people were doing game based on that

procedural rooms and cheap jump scares. recipe for indie horror game, hehe

[slate orbit]

I guess if you can't afford the environment art, writing, or acting from Blair Witch, there's no reason you can't make a whole horror game out of the idea anyway.

[zinc matrix]

blair witch was awesome

[slate orbit]

It was at least an interesting take, at the time

[zinc matrix]

the game they made of it... not that awesome

[slate orbit]

well, yeah, there's not much there for a game

[zinc matrix]

they did pretty good job with the house on the ending. it gave same vibes

[slate orbit]

If somebody were to ask "But what do you DO?"
The answer would be something like:
"Well, you... uhhh... you're trying to... ummm... you see, there's a... something... and... "

[zinc matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/woods-forest-scary-horror-spooky-gif-15742269

I guess I've been alone in the woods in the dark enough in my life that it just doesn't scare me, lol

[zinc matrix]

it might be one of those nostalgia things. probably wouldnt like it that much now

[slate orbit]

The "found footage" film with the aliens was really good, though

Seems like it must have been at least partially inspired by blair witch

Cloverfield I think?

is it me or is discord getting really annoying with all these popups about themes, nitro and whatever paid feature ads

[brittle linden]

I don't find them annoying at all🤣
this app is free and some ads to ask you to buy the nitro is nothing, if you got nitro then they show nothing to you but new features, seeing some ads for nitro is not even a price, it is just clicking on a button to close them.

[rare sparrow]

hey, wait a minute

so what if it's free?

something can be annoying even if it's free

[brittle linden]

Well that's the point, if it is free then it is free, you lose nothing after finding it annoying

But I cant do anything about you finding it annoying, I just tried to say that I don't find them annoying

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, is annoying.

They got big corps sponsoring them. Need more tho.

[cursive crypt]

What?

[rare sparrow]

Vector, not Transform

[cursive crypt]

🤔

[rare sparrow]

I had replaced a transform with a vector and didn't expect it to keep the transform outputs, and it took me a minute to realize what was wrong. Thought it was a bit funny

[cursive crypt]

Did it compile?

[rare sparrow]

I didn't try. Noticed before I would've

You can literally make Last of us in it lol

so it's all good

[cursive crypt]

But can you make a super mario ?

[zinc matrix]

I guess yeah

I don't know I'm not invested really

[foggy path]

Isn't it good if you can make last of us in it 🤔

[cursive crypt]

No, it is messed of us, didn't you understood?

[unborn lotus]

I expected another episode in the last of us

didn't realize 9 was the finale lol

[cursive crypt]

They will milk on it down the road for sure.

i.e. there will be more, soon

[zinc matrix]

why would you make tv-show with fortnite engine?

[foggy path]

they made my little pony with flash so why not

[proud jay]

but who's gonna mess what up though

[pearl elk]

All you need is a bad writer, boom Last of Us 😛

[proud jay]

[pearl elk]

He's Robin

Hi, I'm new here 👋 . Any tips on where I can find a game jam to join? I looked around both here and on Itch.io but did not find anything promising.

[proud jay]

there used to be game jam chats but they are archived 😔

if there are any official unreal jams though they are posted in #announcements

[serene urchin]

I see, thank you Dieter

[ancient ingot]

you are new? oooo freshmeat here Dieter 😉

[brittle linden]

Do you think Star Citizen is a scam?

[ancient ingot]

depends how you define scam

[fleet tangle]

I think it's a joke made by inept developers.

[ancient ingot]

do i think the game is at a point it should be with the money it has recieved, hell no, would i spend money on it, like fuck

[brittle linden]

My definition is "Never going to finish projecy"

[ancient ingot]

how much they recieved now, $120m ?

[brittle linden]

are you joking? they received $+400m

around half of a billion $s

[ancient ingot]

seriously? so almost half a billion.... in that case, stay well away 🙂

[brittle linden]

🤣🤣🤣

[fleet tangle]

Seems that much like blood bowl 3, it's massively delayed and the only thing that works is the cash shop.

[ancient ingot]

fancy that eh

[brittle linden]

Lots of these games on kick starters turn out to be scams, they make the market look dirty, and those good devs who really wanna their ideas to a real game will face difficulties.

[ancient ingot]

yup, sucks 😦

[zinc matrix]

anyone knows how to turn off that Unreal Game sync always wants to generate project files when syncing?

[proud jay]

I mean star citizen is in a quite playable state no?

I don't think it's gonna be "finished" any time soon

cause it's just so ambitious

[ancient ingot]

any game should be in a playable state when its had $400m worth of investment

[proud jay]

just saying

is it really a scam?

they never promised to finish in 6 months or anythging

it's less the project being a scam and the investors just being fools

[unborn lotus]

Didn't they make a roadmap for the roadmap and even that got delayed

[ancient ingot]

[unborn lotus]

But apparently you can use marketplace assets

🤑💲💰

[tulip orbit]

oh that'll end well

[unborn lotus]

Not for me, I sell on the mp, I want the kids to buy my stuff

There's millions of them

Maybe I could retire

[tulip orbit]

yeah I should make some shitty crap to sell on the mp too.

[foggy path]

I'm making a building system for my game, I've been thinking I should put that on the mp

[tulip orbit]

if I could convert my inventory system to module or plugin, it'd probably do well on the mp. I'd have to clean it up a little tho

[unborn lotus]

My crap is the best there is buddy

[celest musk]

making sliding isn't hard, integrating it into an existing animation workflow is where the trouble starts

so even if 14 weeks sounds like a lot, it rather shows that they don't plan with unrealistic short timespans

[proud jay]

how much you selling it for

[unborn lotus]

It's a two for one with bath water

[median wraith]

I'm getting each week emails since a month about some product I own from the marketplace is actually something stolen reported by the people and removed from the market

[celest musk]

about the same or different products?

[median wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-gif-24177057

[median wraith]

different ones

last week were something about a sfx pack

[celest musk]

welp... only got one so far

[unborn lotus]

It did seem to get out of hand lately

[median wraith]

now a plugin

[celest musk]

now i'm curious which plugin

[median wraith]

Lazyweb

[celest musk]

huh

isn't it just exposing some engine features?

CEF is part of the engine?!

[proud jay]

has anyone ever been able to use this diffing properly? https://portal.productboard.com/epicgames/1-unreal-engine-public-roadmap/c/973-blueprint-diff-and-review-tools

didn't know they were still updating it

[celest musk]

whot, they have a launcher for mac?

but not for linux?! ;_;

[proud jay]

well there are more people on mac than on linux

and there is less fragmantation

so not that weird of a choice

[celest musk]

the fragmentation isn't a problem for the editor on linux, neither should it be for the launcher

the most annoying thing is that there isn't any official way to download plugins/assets as linux user

[proud jay]

have you considered like not using linux

[celest musk]

and people have to reverse engineer their API to make linux launchers

yes i have

but not because of that

rather because windows is actually the primary market for games

i think mac users are rather the VFX people, or the majority of them

[ancient ingot]

ok any medical people here?

[proud jay]

are you dying?

my gf is a pharmacist, does that count

[celest musk]

Femurs are also the most dangerous to break iirc. So much so they had to invent a device specifically for broken femurs

I didn't believe it either honestly. Played it, and ashamed to say it's extremely good.

More responsive and customisable then most modern shooters

Only downside is map size.

[oblique cloak]

So what can i add to the engine.ini in hogwarts legacy to try and fix something to do with either the control rigs, or something... The lips dont animate and its freaking annoying...

[unborn lotus]

People had a very low survival rate before it iirc? Kinda like horses

[unreal ether]

Best of asking around in a hogwarts legacy dc

[slate orbit]

I don't think editing your engine.ini is going to suddenly animate character lips unless it's an existing feature you broke by editing that file already

[oblique cloak]

_<

naw fresh install lips dont animate.

i think its an AMD issue

steam wont refund either i hate this lol

[unreal ether]

Yeah. The death rate from it is still fairly high as far as I know, because it's right next to the femoral artery

Wack

[proud jay]

[fleet tangle]

Sure, there are one-dev games out there.

I'll get a model for you, real detailed, $1000/

Must match the ones that exist on the marketplace.

[mossy nexus]

I'll do it for $3500[per dignissim of course] and it will superior in everyway. T&C's apply.

[celest musk]

i'll do it for $10 and it will be the blender default cube

[pearl elk]

I wonder how navmesh looks like

[cursive crypt]

There is a tile split between the Start and B.

But does it matter? There is an explanation, the issue is, it is 0xBAAD.

[fluid bloom]

I've noticed that navmesh pathfinding does some weird shit at tile edges sometimes

[cursive crypt]

It just casts weird segments, so in that case up, it goes in the total opposite direction and basically makes a half circle to arrive to that triangle.

Gonna dig up further, but the length/costs metric can go quite bad.

[fluid bloom]

I had an issue where the pathfinding algo desperately wanted to make a route that went through the corners of the tiles

instead of a straight path

there was nothing blocking it

for some reason it came up with a two segment path where the mid waypoint was the tile corner 🤷‍♂️

[cursive crypt]

And how did you solved it?

Woah, I’ve officially wasted another year of my life

Woo. Got my pistol and rifle aim offsets looking pretty decent. Now to make unarmed walking anims, and mining gun animations... full sets including walking, aiming...

😓

no 😭

[cursive crypt]

Have you considered to use someone else' anims?

[tulip orbit]

Cant afford animation packs

[cursive crypt]

I think there are some free options tho.

[tulip orbit]

I havent found any

all the free packs I got from the marketplace only have a few pieces of the puzzle

a few rifle_hip anims, a few rifle_ironsights anims, but not a full required set. I've had to bastardize them together to get something presentable

Are we talking about the new "Procedural Content Generation" plugin somewhere here?
https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealengine/comments/11u570o/procedural_content_generation_framework_ue_52/

[tulip orbit]

we werent

[timber viper]

I'm just interested in how it compiles the graph to build the content on level

Phy is better than Epic so I would use voxel plugin

[pearl elk]

Oh yay more subeditors, just what we needed

[warm bloom]

LOL none of it is unified

though this is cool

but i agree phy's stuff is probably gonna be better

i wish they prioritized large world coordinates more though

[cursive crypt]

I see no relation between voxels and that houdini-like

[tulip orbit]

I havent seen phy in here in a loong time. He too good for us now?

[cursive crypt]

I suppose there are too many voxel clients ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm glad, I passed through my thirst for voxels years ago.

Spend too much years.

[tulip orbit]

voxels would make the mining portion of my game more interesting. Rather than the big chunks of stone I'm dropping in the world

[pearl elk]

Does Deep Rock Galactic use the voxel plugin?

[timber viper]

Isnt end goal the same?

Voxel also has a graph right now, similar to houdini (i guess)

The reason I'd prefer Voxel is, unlike Epic, phy has to provide support if something doesnt work meanwhile Epic expects you to use UDN and even then there is no guarantee they wont forget about the plugin and do something else for Fortnite

[nova herald]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXLTFwoYM_s

[cursive crypt]

You can use just some generic destr/chaos based meshes instead, depends on your end goal tho.

[cursive crypt]

The generation of voxels and that of the plugin may match somewhat, but probably there is a difference.

look at this pokemon ripoff, you can literally shoot them with an assault rifle

😮 bastards!

[cursive crypt]

These path queries are so broken (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Either returning wrong border stuff or don't even use the fast checks.

[median wraith]

a friend sent me that, really cool ahha

[tulip orbit]

if you keep flipping the tables, its gonna have to keep updating the navmesh, and keep messing up your queries!

[cursive crypt]

The EQS Pathfinding [batch] -> GetPolysWithinPathingDistance -> StorePathfindingDebugData is freaking broken! Straight copied from Fortnite.

It returns points which are outside the pathing distance and just score them however.

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

I ran out of tables.

Since ChatGPT can write text and OBJ files are text; I asked it to give me a pony.

It took me a few tries because it kept refusing saying modelling 3D via text would be too complex (yeah, ChatGPT can be lazy).

It first gave me a pyramid. Then this.

That's the best damn pony I've ever seen

[fleet tangle]

So that's where Laura went.

[acoustic quarry]

omgeee its so cute

[acoustic quarry]

I don't think they will lose their jobs, it's more about losing time when working for the company. They will be using it as a tool instead, not replace our imagination or jobs.

I also think its not wise to use AI as a tool for filling creative input. We have brains, use it wisely and it takes time to be creative.

[unreal ether]

wait no way

the scam mmo is posting jobs here?

is there another mmo where you can make anything called dreamworld

[unreal ether]

fortunately i think it was sarcasm, given how horrible of a job the ai did

[timber viper]

If I ever do freelancing again this year I'll either just use my friends to look for Jobs or use upwork, since a few months quality of job posts here are suffering

[unreal ether]

yeah. i used to see some decent ones popping up here and there

but now its all overly ambitious rev share, volunteer projects that expect too much, or scams

no way i read this further and it gets worse!?!
A full fps system, not something that takes a couple of hours. earning prolly below minimum wage for something like that.

i get if you're self funded, can't offer much for obvious state of the world reasons, and maybe need someone willing to do a bit for the passion, or a bit of rev share on the end as well. I get it, but dont say it's a competitive rate

[timber viper]

Rip people who assumed its hourly rate and contacted them xD

[unreal ether]

i hope it was hourly rate and was just poor communication

[timber viper]

Its not

[unreal ether]

oop i think we stepped over some rules

mbmb

[timber viper]

Which rules?

[unreal ether]

not sure but i saw stuff get nuked

im assuming that means we did bad

[timber viper]

Nah BM pressing random buttons

[broken sigil]

Just cleaned up the stuff about their discord since it's a bit of a "public shaming"

[unreal ether]

ah okay, gotcha

[timber viper]

Yeah fair

[unreal ether]

apologies for that one, didnt realise it was a tad over the line

[fleet tangle]

What was the offered price for the "full fps system" ?

[timber viper]

300usd

[unreal ether]

$300 max for the entire project

[fleet tangle]

Oh my

I wouldn't open the editor for that

[unreal ether]

like thats easily what? 15 hours work? if nto more

depending on complexity

havent gone too much into fps stuff because im terrible at animations

which i really need to improve

because i got so many shooter ideas, but they rely on animations

[fleet tangle]

Just give them first person tutorial project. Done!

Or Lyra.

[unreal ether]

i think my biggest barrier is procedural ads and support for multiple weapons

ik maths is haaard

[fleet tangle]

ik.. right!

[tulip orbit]

no ADS, just hip firing

[fleet tangle]

I wonder how many people who try to work with IK don't know what it stands for.

[unreal ether]

but then how do i make the cool red dot sights :(

[tulip orbit]

just add them to the HUD

[timber viper]

Inverse kinematics

Right?

[fleet tangle]

Ye

[unreal ether]

im not sure whether to just bite the bullet and Figure it Out™️ or buy a pack that does it for me

learning to animate is the easy part in this

its the programmign side of animations that gets me

[timber viper]

Isnt it just aim offset asset and control rig

Its not that hard

In fact very easy

[tulip orbit]

its probably not as hard as you're thinking it is, but probably very fiddly when you get into the finer points of it

[timber viper]

Advanced IK is hard because you do quat math

[unreal ether]

but how do i procedurally get the iron sights to the center of the screen, and not make it look like the character's powdered their bones several times over

[timber viper]

But there are resources for it

[unreal ether]

like i really dont get it, and the sprinkling of procedural anims means i dont have to make unique anim sets for every weapon

[unreal ether]

do you happen to have any on hand?

[tulip orbit]

never seen the behind the scenes gifs of FPS characters? their bones are squished and stretched in ungodly abominations. But it looks correct from FP perspective, and thats all that matters

[timber viper]

Do you even need it? Advanced ones cover the edge or specific cases

[unreal ether]

ah fair enough

[timber viper]

Most of the cases you can go yolo with what control rig unless you are doing god of war

[unreal ether]

not really no, and now i feel like im missing out on a whole other form of entertainment

[tulip orbit]

ugh, I cant find them. my google-fu is lacking

[broken sigil]

@timber viperI think regret giving this bot permanent memory 😅
I asked it and but the GPT API failed to return a response (OpenAI has been having issues for the last like 2 days) but it remembered that I asked it lol

[timber viper]

Lmaoo

[timber viper]

Its getting sentient

[broken sigil]

The new memory model is working really well and it feels like it knows way too much now 😅

[timber viper]

uhh

finally ffs

theme is disgusting but at least everything is more readable now

[tulip orbit]

need brain wake up. I think I can start moving my animBP and anims over to my main project to start integrating it, but not 100% sure

why, when only selecting my animBP to migrate, it wanted to migrate the whole third person map and all the other crap?

[timber viper]

it collects ref dependency

[tulip orbit]

yeah, but why is my animbp referencing the level?

[timber viper]

not the animbp

something animbp referencing is referencing the level

[tulip orbit]

only thing I can think of is that maybe its detecting that I baked an animation to control rig, and it created a linked animation sequence

I just unselected the things I didnt want and migrated, have yet to see an error

[unreal ether]

how do you do this. youve really managed to convey the feelign that youve taken gpt and given it skynet level conciousness lmaooo

like if i didnt know anything about ai i would believe it is sentient

[broken sigil]

😅
So underneath all of it is GPT3.5-turbo, then a layer of secret sauce and on top of all of it is what I'm calling "MemoryCortex", it's basically a C++ persistent memory library for LLMs that I'm writing, it's basically creating "memories" condensing them and when you ask it something it "recalls" relevant memories and prepares them to be passed to the LLM/GPT

And this memory system is playing a big role in why it's behaving the way it is

[unreal ether]

Damnnn that's really impressive. Is there any limit to how far back it can "remember", or can it grow impossibly large

[broken sigil]

System memory (RAM, this can be solved by not loading everything at once) and your storage is basically the limit

Tho I'm working on something to compress old memories, reuse them and delete them to save memory

[unreal ether]

I assume it would take some heavy use to fill up even lower end consumer drives

[broken sigil]

You could have probably thousands of memories within like a gigabyte

And the cool thing is I could in theory give it a whole document, have it condense it into "memories" and use it in its responses

[deft copper]

Whooo, gonna take my machine like 14 hours to render this 30 second sequence out at Cinematic quality. 😅

[unreal ether]

Damnnnn

Really impressive stuff

[long slate]

first message lol

[oblique cloak]

woah... fortnite giving away there billion dollar codes?

[regal pecan]

Have to compete with roblox by allowing mods experiences.

shit they are fast

[broken sigil]

The problem I have with those is that the results look very much cherry picked, it's probably a lot more unreliable in practice

[warm bloom]

does gdc start today

shit

[cursive crypt]

Just shit in general.

[warm bloom]

there is no general this is lounge

[zinc matrix]

only in general channels

[worldly mesa]

This cannot be right! They removed the Equals node from Materials, and did no replace it! (with something like Compare)

[worldly mesa]

"If" seems to be the closest

[devout nexus]

It's technically not the first, this place started off on Slack first before being ported over here by the hard word of pfist over the course of a couple weeks

[supple apex]

Does it work though?

Tried asking unreal and godot related questions to chatgpt, always got incorrect answers and recommended with non existing functions so far.
