GPT works fine if you know how to use it, but occassionaly fails
the reason it provides code snippets with non existing functions is, it doesnt plan its sentences before starting to type. It starts with initial input and tries to extrapolate the next words to build a meaningful output
So it has no idea if its wrong or not, it just tries to access most "likely" data
also the reason it sucks at math
gpt works well when you dont use it too
instructions are unclear
Never been ๐ซ
I mean I do too so I wouldn't hold that against it
ok fuckers where's my coffee?!
dont worry there are times even compilers suck at math

Not sure what the underlying issue is, but I think chatgpt just not that good when it comes to unreal questions and topics.
For other topics, it did pretty well.
Very helpful on doing low level stuffs, got a lot of help doing PE, win32, asm, and x86 related topics with chatgpt around.
Pretty detailed as well in doing various language translations, surprisingly good in understanding the context.
It also give some interesting cooking recipes at times.
Still not sure why it sucks on doing unreal though.
Garbage in, garbage out
Not much good unreal specific stuff online. So chatgpt has little training data
The docs are useless so nothing there. It's best material is the forums and the occasional blog
Which isn't much for such a vast engine
i blame Dieter
Poor dieter
its just how any LLM works, less data about something means less likelyhood of accurate prediction
UE has specific workflow and own types, and compared to regular std stuff less data around web
TIL the Unreal logo in the app corner scales lol
Opening an asset and for some reason it opened a new window at that exact size...

Statistic, bots are kinda free effort.
Even if 0.00001% get on the hook, still good.
So, spam away.

interesting thesis
working on a gun blueprint... line trace or actual projectile? which is better?
lol, with an actual bullet mesh, cant even see the damn thing
I've got a projectile set up, from when I first started the project a looong time ago, but yeah. I'd have to put all the hit effect stuff on the bullet, do a bunch in there...
let alone if you have shit framerate and your bullet passes through stuff
too much effort for no advantage
yeah
I would go with line trace, you can simulate the bullet travel and drop if you need to, plus it's gonna be a lot better performance wise
Ok. Going with line trace. Now I need muzzle flashes! and impact effects!
got a decent sound
@tulip orbit i got some muzzle flashes for you but i cant dm you
are they gonna be dick pics

Why is navmesh cell size 19? wtf really (flips-another table)
Hey there, Iโm new here. I have a project that Iโve started working on, but itโs now in the concept/preparations stage. I could definitely use some help.
if you have questions post them in relevant channels, if you want someone to work for you read #instructions
Why not 19? That allows a center point, with 8 on each side, nicely divisible
Who cares about centre of the navmesh cell?
centrists
This way a tile is 988 cm sized, wtf

I'm slightly wondering that too lol
they probably just have a doll
there are a number of factors that could play in the creation of this and how it was made but I believe the most logical guess Is that no one liked children anyway

I am just looking to do this for fun, learn the ins and outs of Unreal Engine, and hopefully make this idea into a reality. Even though Iโve got a list prepared, Iโm just not sure where to go next.
woah, wtf.??
starter template, enabled the cascade to niagara converter plugin.... and on restart... poof wierdness. Fine in game tho
hm, there is some glitching on the characters too
oh ok
hah, disabling the cascade converter fixed the graphics issue. wow... that is sooo broken
good to know.. i was about to convert some old epic stuff to my project with it...
Interesting https://github.com/keijiro/AICommand

There is a such thing on the UE MP
this has probably been gone over several times, but ChatGPT is down for everyone, they're not just picking on me, right?
oh no

Don't worry: I won't post anything about ChatGPT this week.
Looks like API is still working (very slow but working) 
did you make your angsty teen GPT a bot
Everything needs an integration
Im waiting on Chat-GPT MS Clippy

I made Chat-GPT fail with the continue command last night
it was in the middle of a code block and it didnt think to start the code block again so all the code blocks got inverted in the second half of the reply
Idk, this is just lolz

Oh yeah, it is from 2018
Hi do you think the epic megagrants would still be available til the year ends? I mean with all the projects, it might run out soon hehe
With all the inflation? Who knows...
Fortnite is still making a killing
But they got fined 250 millions, iirc. These money also could have been used for Grants. Or even better, hiring a junior to fix the Launcher.
wonder how much of that falls under business liability insurance
Nice, I spent 1h trying to understand a feature which is all over the place, but turns out, it had a random hidden comment somewhere that this is not really working. Comment was 9 years old.
Fortnite is making like 800mil+ per year
Thats not counting Engine and MP revenue so I doubt Epic are going to be struggling
But the Launcher!
Launcher isnt as important as the new HQ ๐
Plus at the rate Steams been sabotaging itself Epic wont even have to touch the Launcher to catch up hahaha
Steam bad? Why ๐ค
Read the patch notes
rerelease update to fix old update
That's happened acouple of times lately
meh
They spend most of the Steam resources on big picture mode these days
To use on steam decks /kek
Well they put alot of effort into supporting console controllers
I'm thinking about buying steam deck

WARNING @opal vortex is a con-artist. He will hire you and then dispute payment with paypal. You will lose money & waste time. Don't make the same mistake, thanks. ๐
(^leaving that there for anyone who searches his username before doing business)
didn't they get 500 mil fine, but they could pay out a part like in a grant like fashion?
What's wrong with wire transfers though? People always seem to prefer paypal but why
I just send 1 cent coins in an enveloppe
well my country restricted paypal so even if I want I cant pay or get paid with paypal xD
nah #instructions say its your responsibility
were you buying homework with paypal
i was buying starbucks
selling homework
didnt know god hardcoded reality to people who drinking starbucks cant be trillionaire
it's classic boomer logic that you're only poor cause you buy too much starbucks and eat only avocado toast

@pearl elk ive just discovered this
DOREPLIFETIME_CONDITION(ABlasterCharacter, OverlappingWeapon, COND_OwnerOnly);
instead of DOREPLIFETIME and thus replicating to all clients
ye cause im thick...lol
Well to be fair its not really intuitive, the replication block in uscript was easier
probably, but this is a fucker of a macro, its huge lol
Just wait till you see Epic forget to use their own macro and code things 10 different ways

When a compiler walks in with an itty bitty error you get sprung
Compilers hate me
I love it when a compiler tells me exactly what the error is then proceeds to not fix it
Imagine going to a mechanic, oh your brakes are buggered but they leave the buggered ones for you to fix
i love it when a compiler sometimes tells me what is the error, but not where it is
well, I'm not gonna tell you now
LNK2019 the bane of my existence
Get with the future and LNK2023 then!
Apparently Im too old for the compiler, its basically Ok Boomering me
linker errors are quite straightforward most of the time
most errors are tbh
you just need to learn to read the ancient c++ error glyphs
ffs
write code, close engine, compile
then open engine, check code
takes too loooooooong
Live coding is the way.
it always fails ๐ฆ
L2p issue tbh
lol its true, I cant even add a new class using Epics wizard... Live coding fails every time
AngelScript though, so breezy and on the odd chance it crashes, load the engine back up, maybe get an error message... no long compile times required
VS always points to the wrong directory for UE
theres probably a fix but Im too lazy to wrestle with VS, I just use VS code
highlighting in AngelScript is so much better
mate no one writes good code in VS, they are too busy wrestling with the IDE ๐
so true
in the odd chance they get to the compiler, yay spend more time waiting for that than at traffic lights
Elon Musk will get us to Mars before MS fix their shit lol
I use notepad\
That or you just don't run on a potato.
and I mean actual pen and paper notepad
scan it
have ML convert it to code and compile
Managed languages are better, pretty simples
I use a calculator and enter the ones and zeros
Spend more time coding, less time administering
and take the memory out of it
true
so fast to go in c# instead of c++
I still just use vscode
in my experience the ide's run like shit
I'd choose jet brains though if I had too
well that really depends on the system
i wouldn't want to use JB stuff on a machine which hasn't enough memory/cpu time to spare for all the features
honestly though you should have adequate hardware if you're working with unreal engine
well, at least JB has the power safe mode, which turns off a bunch of features so it runs smoother on lower tier hardware
Gently strokes his threadripper
neovim for lyfe. uses 30mb of ram. lsp on the other hand 1gb with ue project..
I had issues with Riders UE Plugin crashing the editor
AngelScript seems alot more stable, I just compiled some 5.1.1 version of theirs so no idea how much better its gotten since then
Least I can compile the engine in a decent timeframe, in my experience though throwing more hardware at a problem barely ever helps
๐คซ - you might awaken BlueMan with that kind of talk.
At least is not Lua.
iirc, I asked you why AngelaScript, but I forgot.
More productive for me, I can write C++ but I find myself writing structural stuff around my code more than I am attacking actual problems
I envy you, I feel like spending 90% of my time thinking instead.
I got no issues with people who wanna get in the nitty gritty and go all beard stroker mode
It is so nice to write code instead, sigh
Thats not me though, I just want results fast
I wonder what will drop during GDC
Fast food, coffee cups, chins, etc.
I find AI helps with the thinking part
bass
No, it does not. Spend hours investigating its code.
You can roll around in your own head about something for ages, ask it if its a good idea or not and it'll be brutally honest
balls maybe?
Wish more humans were like that, so much time wasted "yeah its a great idea"
I don't think any of the participants have any

or maybe they crashed. who knows
@terse wasp rate the syntax 1-10
It's readable so I'm fine with what I see.
only thin that confuses me is that new on the second last linee
is that just creating a new local var or something?
confusing
That was about my only question to be honest.
it constructs the variable inline
It is strange, but I'm fine with dealing with weird quirks like that.
new Hit is just running Hit() and putting it on the heap
overlappedZombie = Cast..
if overlappedZombie:
vs
if new overlappedZombies = Cast..
there's already the default on top, but then below the TArray is just like that, and then there's also new
I read the default like it is stuff being set in the ctor
yeah maybe
yeah thx to angelscript for inspiration
but even then why does the inline need new, but the TArray is just like that
Is this your Lua implementation?

Why is it adding functions with Super:. That annoys me!
I think it is meant to show that it is overriden...and Eren confirmed it
One concern is event being a special type of function
its the event in BPs
BM's pet AI's opinions are better
๐
deja is a real chad
see this
can compile pseudo bytecode to C++
The reason I am hesitant about event being a qualifier for an async style function, is because event would be better used to declare a dynamic multicast delegate
I'd rather override: isntead of Super:
The Super looks like it's defining the base class's method.
fair
Because event is already more commonly used for the observer design pattern

guess I'm too c# for this
event Super:ReceiveBeginPlay() is supposed to be the BP Begin Play node.
When a function is event instead of function, it is like an event in BP
since also BP uses "event dispatcher" term i guess its a fair point
I mean for new languages you can pick I guess
it's just me with preconceived c# notion
I would go with async or latent personally.
Both are already commonly understood to what they mean.
you can have fun playing with verse @proud jay ๐
Oh, I'm 100% going to be using verse tomorrow.
I will try to break it
Wheres the dynamic casting
unlike cpp which breaks you
๐ฅฒ
Overall, I think this is a fine enough start @timber viper. I'm about to head out for breakfast though.
bon appetit
Were you planning on adopting AS's integration design? IE - be the in between of C++ and BP?
I'm not sure, I'll probably wont put much effort into it so if it requires some magical effort I would be distant to that idea
it will be my first VM 
I've always wanted to make one. Just never had the time. So yay!
And on that note - I'm out for food
I don't like making things that require constant maintenance
better not make a baby then
They don't your wife can take care of them
I've been playing with ElevenAI, pros: voices sound really good. cons: African, Australian, Indian all sound either British or American.. ๐
assuming you can find a wife in the first place
I would advise not having babies until you do.
It can be quite difficult to have a solo child as a bachelor
Biology kinda gets in the way a bit
Damned science
There's a range between "solo" and "married".

Don't need to when you can make an AI one for yourself

Neuro-Sama caught Vedal copying & pasting once again , from the new vedal dev stream
=============================================================
Neuro-sama (uncommon Neuro-sama dev stream) :

My Links:

About:
Neuro Sama is an artificial intelligence youtuber & twitch streamer made by her creator ...
people waste tons of money on subscription for neuro sama
deja is not an anime girl so its a disadvantage but its theme (sarcastic nature) is awesome
Wait....
it even sings: https://youtu.be/E32XcwlMYUk
@broken sigil unlike deja that anime girl AI has no "well well well" thing embedded into its sentences though
how does that happen
personally I'd be interested in to watch
time to time I watch neuro sama 
It's the result of my instructions probably, I'll tweak it a bit
but there is really an advantage of being a 13yo anime girl
marketing for deja would be a little bit more tough
and i heard twich pays a little bit late for subscriptions
which means upfront invesment for a while until you receive first money
Hear me out, deja as the backend and a UE5 scene as the avatar
an actual scene? not a lve2d model or a cube?
Like what codemiko has, her avatar and the scene is made and running in UE
I can probably easily do that
ohh
hmm
definitely not a bad idea, though i like the cube entity idea more ๐
a humanoid body/face doesnt represent deja much as a cube
Oh yeah it would be a cube, wouldn't be a human avatar, would just make it reactive, etc... When it talks
if i had to decide.. cube or booba avatar. it would be really difficult to choose..
Yeah ๐ฌ
yeah you get the whole weeb p*do crowd
But she's actually 5000 years old, she just looks like 13
one way or another its more appealing
it attracts a huge crowd

Can you buy me a steam deck with the half of the emojis
isn't the steam deck only 35 cents in turkey?
or is it not regionally priced
Its like 1k usd
But not official price since its out of stock
I tried to build a deck out of steam, but it just turned into a puddle
So i can just buy them here in germany for 611โฌ (best edition) and i just need to travel to turkey to make ~400โฌ profit for each steam deck :sus:
Time to stop with the gamedev, i need a driving license
@proud jay Polyethylene terephthalate say it properly ffs
yeah, need the driving license so you can go buy more vodka to continue gamedeving

I'm seeing a lot of these "chatbots" using 0 moderation for inputs and outputs
AI seems to be the big topic there
I wouldn't be surprised if someone presents another LLM on this GDC
Bard AI is now on early preview
what recipe did he choose I wonder
curry and spice 
probably. that jacket doesnt age
deja vu
not sure if I underestimate chatGPT or if people underestimate programming
he shouldn't
they used "trending on artstation" in the prompt of their promo video xD
that didn't age well
it does decent job with python from what ive tested. but when i asked it to make simple hash table app in C... that just flat out crashed.
yea it may be able to write specific methods, but a whole application?
Gpt replaces tools not programmers
keep in mind that those are all handpicked examples
its like 3 functions and simple struct
I'm aware lol
so much shit about artificial intelligence I mean the data center stuff is cool
but it's starting to become ear barf
give me something different already
that eye contact thing is so freaking creepy...

what is State of Unreal?
Epic's GDC event where they show off the latest projects and talk about the future of Unreal Engine.
We'll be opening up a channel for it tomorrow so folks can discuss the announcements. It's always fun.
well, it's kinda an open secret
if you watch their 5.2 roadmap
hope they show off some of the features
I'm positive there are still secrets not on the road map.
They always save some things for the show.
always better to see a use case for them rather than a text note on the roadmap
Plus UEFN will be a big part of the show.
Unreal Editor for Fortnite.
I do expect to hear a lot more about Verse tomorrow.
Would be the first real public showing.
So far there's only been an academic presentation at a Haskell conference.
Which I assume you're referencing. ๐
I'm looking into whether we can have a watch party here.
for noobs
Discord has a new YouTube Watch Together feature for voice channels, but I can't get anyone to tell me if there's a limit on number of viewers.
you know at which time they start?
nvm
<t:1679502600:f>
might be worth a post in the news channel?
I'm going to post an event reminder here, even if the watch party is a no-go.
or that
Already posted the day it was announced.
I have some other fun ideas, too.
Do you think people would enjoy a just-for-fun Unreal bingo? With no prizes? Just fill it out with what you think will be announced.
i think @proud jay would enjoy that
I always enjoy stuff like that.
I like hearing all the different ideas people speculate on.
most of the things are probaly known to those who follow development
the question is what of it is worth time at the GDC
i wish for nvidia GI/DI :>
in the official version
and nanite for SKM/translucency
I always forget to eat
and the gaps between eating are so long I become lethargic
and start dying I stg
that's healthy (no health advice)
the weak cells die off
and when you resupply on food it only feeds the tough ones
Why me specifically lol
don't you?
curious if anyone here has gotten access to bard?
I've signed up for the wait-list but I'm still waiting
I donโt really use unreal so idk what features to expect lol
you wouldn't believe the features some call them unreal

idk
that's why i thought you would like it
because it has the extra gambling spirit to it
Unlimited, apparently.
Is that Google? I couldn't even get this from Discord's documentation on the feature. lol
Watch Together is an activity where members in a voice channel can watch YouTube videos with others. An unlimited number of participants can join this activity at once.

Yeah Discords own site isn't the most helpful
does it support live streams though?
Yes! I've tested that. ๐
dang they have program for 3 days the whole day
i thought it was just an hour or so
do they stream all of it?
Not sure how much they're streaming.
I'm sure they will stream at least some of them.
Most if not all of them will probably end up on their YouTube channel afterward, regardless.
Alright. You guys get to go first.
Click "Open in Browser" for full size.
wait we have to fill it out?
Yes. You're supposed to guess what Epic will announce/talk about on stage during State of Unreal 2023.
that's a lot of fields
I would spin up an actual web page where you can just type them and generate an image to share, but I'm busy finishing up our new website. ๐
What do you think Epic has for GDC tomorrow?
Oh. I should add a free space in the middle.
Something fortnite related, probably
There we go.
I just followed the typical grid size for bingo cards. Plus, 5x5 โ UE5.
Here are my guesses.
I mean
I guess you got atleast the free square
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
surely you're forgetting tim sweeney
he needs to be in all the squares
I feel like they will talk about multiplayer improvements
with that new system
it would be nice to see chaos stuff as well
I think lumen and nanite improvements are like 100% happening
Same. They branched in January, so the timing lines up.
They usually branch a couple months before the first preview drops.
well they really branched of in a preview branch
haven't noticed that kind of branch before tho
ill take all perf upgrades gladly ๐
maybe they delete them after final release?
I'd love it if one day they did a roadmap/State of Unreal and said nothing. And when asked about it they said "It's good enough for now". Proper casual slacking. Eventually 12 months later a line of deprecated code gets disabled at the GDC announcement and everyone loses their sheet.
this is 2nd time i ask this kind of question here today, but: what does RSVP stand for? ๐
from announcements
please respond very promptly, but in french
rapid superior virtual production, but in latin
Ok what's the issue, I can respond but not in french
I hope Unreal makes Mobile Game Dev easier, they said it's one of their highest priorities
their highest priority is fortnite on mobile, yes
I started playing Marvel Future Revolution on mobile recently, it's mind blowing that it's a mobile game
made using Unreal
Tbh I think it's the best MMO I've played in recent years
f mobile
Watch your road, I see so many drivers on the phone.
I'm unfamiliar with the game F Mobile: Watch the Road
It is free and open source. Fantastic quality with deadly outcome.
I don't know how to drive
just gonna state the obvious: if you're driving on a phone, it'll probably break and the owner will be displeased
๐
showoff
i did A* algorithm in my first try ahaha
There is one/few already inside UE.
shrugs
I really hope theres some generative AI stuff with Quixel, like being able to turn any basic mesh into megascan rocks because its learnt to generate rocks
Also, maybe it should be Epic MetaGames ๐
Join the Epic Metaverse.
Need a Metagrant
I wouldn't be surprised to see some AI-related feature announced. I should've added that to my bingo card.
Quixel were hinting at it if my memory serves but they could have been talking about Metahumans
Imagine that though, proper 3d brushes but no two strokes are the same
Could be interesting.
I can add nanite support to my spline tool which is pretty good but you still end up with repeating textures or patterns
Takes alot of setup for the brushes too, you gotta go through and find the right meshes to suit

Member when Nvidia made graphics cards for gaming??
5 minutes in and all we get is Media & Entertainment
oh well, game AI is gonna continue to be crap then ๐
I started animating a scene with two Metahumans walking while holding hands and I have hit the "oh God, what have I gotten myself into?" stage. ๐
Just remember real humans have 4 or 6 fingers
remember when everything was awesome
mons ps there is'was' as averything is not awesome anymore
Wow this keynote is boring as batshit ๐
How does Carmack talk for ages and make it so interesting yet Jensen talks for 30 minutes and Im ready to curl up in a casket
Its easy just buy a computer that costs more than your entire 80 acres of properly including all the machinery, vehicles and structures
I'm going to get mad if verse releases during the unreal livestream. My keyboard just stopped working today and i won't be able to play with it. My new keyboard may arrive a few hours late...
Verse will be in the Fartnite editor surely
I'll still play with it lol. I just installed fortnite in preparation.
I'm aware verse may come in a year for us peasants.
Typing like this is hard
all the chatgpt and what that bring on the etchics of it and all, not make me interest of that generate ai thing at all
i missed the gtc keynote what 20mins and didint get anything
Youre not missing much, its all datacenter
I dont mind generative AI, its interesting but Im more interested in game AI which Nvidia never talks about
I'm surprised no one has used GANs for game AI. They've been around for a while, even if it's only recent that they're surprisingly good.
I think we'll see NPCs using the tech for speech and conversation before we see AI being used to actually make them smarter
Its a great use though when you think about it, localisation costs a heap and so do voice actors. If your game doesnt need that sort of cinematic voice acting, even then Ive seen AI which can do things like remove swear words or adjust lipsync in film to match different languages
I find the eye contact stuff to be creepy as hell though, imagine walking around irl with everyone looking uncannily in your direction staring ๐
There was mariogan. And "around for while", is just several years. For something complex, performance heavy and in the game industry - I am not surprised to not have seen more.
Having spaghetti fingers too.
Introducing Ubisoft Ghostwriter, an AI tool developed in-house that aims to support our scriptwriters by generating the first draft of our NPC barks - the phrases or sounds made by NPCs when players interact with the game world.
This tool was created hand-in-hand with scriptwriters to create more realistic NPC interactions by generating variati...
speak of the devil ๐
Hey, it is Ubi! I thought they have only like one game, just multiplied over and over again.
Im just thinking they musta used this on their past 10 games lol
Definitely, it looks like they have used it a lot more. Now just coming clean ๐
wtf, wait
#lounge is even more down the list
"After hours"?
This is not true.
Ive tried to like Ubisoft games, I played Farcry 6 and Watch Dogs Legion with every intention of playing them through
ai-gen-art is actually work for me not after hours
lounge should be in lobby tbh
I played several of theirs, to make sure.
Ive just not enjoyed Farcry much since 3, Primal was probably the last one I really dug
tbh, I liked 5
Farcry 6 it was like OMG that map is so much larger... sigh
Not the DLC, neither saw good stuff about 6
Even 5, its just too much exposition for me
Its what theyre calling Millennial Writing
I dont need to have NPCs constantly talking at me, especially when I cant kill them to shut them up ๐
Ngl, the forced capturing and unskippable cutscenes are examples of baaaad decisions made.
Radio volume control costs too much to implement
I think its the idea that when youre talked to its more immersive but in reality people dont just chatter at you for no reason. Then you think youre far enough away they wont talk to you and your portable radio starts chattering, you hop in your car and the car stereo is chattering at you
My inner Doom guy just rips the radio out of the car and throws it in the ditch
The radio issues seems to have flied over my head. Iirc, I was able to turn it on/off.
I think that was added in 5, in all previous Farcry games there was no separate volume for the radio
In 5 I ended up in a position where 3 NPCs were all chattering at me, all overlapping audio is like ugggh
Irl is also annoying. They talk to you and look at you, while the person next to them does the same. And they don't stop.
Took them something like 13 Farcry games to add an option for ingame radio lol
I heard, in fc6, there is like one gun doing everything. Given in the beginning somewhere.
Yeah thats been a common theme, the starter guns getting better and better
they have this odd DIY backpack things too, its just so out there
Thing is the engine and graphics are hugely better, the storyline even has an interesting premise but its completely killed by scale
Also heard the main story kinda does not make much sense in general. Tbh, in many games it does not.
I want another far cry like Blood Dragon, bite sized and heavily stylized.
They hope you dont notice by adding so much dead space in between missions you forget what the story was
As usual, the heavy lifting is done by artists, somewhat narratives and barely a gameplay - for the aaa games.
I think the franchise has alot of potential but its kinda been wasted since it turned into this saviour theme thing. I liked it better when it was more about survival
I like being that sort of lone wolf type character though so maybe Im biased
They need to dumbify the games, so they become more mainstream, thus bringing more money.
Well its just crazy that Farcry was so well placed to take on industry trends yet didnt catch a single one of the waves lol
It doesnt sell poorly but considering the resources poured in, it never really hit
Not gonna think about them anymore, they got enough.
I want to make a door now. The bane of game development.
Why do you need doors?
Remember that HL2 AI demo where they blocked the door so they came in through the window?
Never made it into the game unfortunately
Can put a custom nav link there ๐ค
With some cost, because everyone might start to come in through the windows.
Gotta appreciate that, 20+ years later, UE started to add an UE_ prefix to their macros.
Which reminds me to replace some of these with a constexpr or something ๐ค
KINDA_SMALL_NUMBER I always got confused this means a negative number, but is not.

taking forever for ChatGPT to restore access to the history
Why you need it?
for, uh, 'reasons'
because I get logged out all the time, atm I cant have a conversation with it without it all disappearing into the aether
I had an interesting conversation with it about a weather system and I wanted to try to use what it provided but atm I cant access any of my history
Just have interesting conversations here instead
Write me a weather system for exoplanets in C++ for UE5
So, you just want to talk to someone?
...computing...
Answer: sorry what is C++
weather sys in c++ for ue5, from that bot
Might help with the general idea, irrelevant of c++/ue5 tho ๐ค
Im a language model I cant write C++ ๐
Once, I dwelled in that topic... Kinda stopped at the spherical hexagrids, because I wanted speeed.
it writes python and c# fine. It always crumbles on c++ though. I mean 4. 3 and 3.5 are essentially useless for that
I think for small code pieces and maybe giving you a hint what to do, can be helpful.
Haven't seen anything remotely usable for actual tasks tho.
It actually did quite well with the weather system which is why I wanted to copy it
sus
even used a timeline
sus
thats why history isnt working you rekon, the third world programmers are on strike?
They just drunk from all the sub and MS money pouring over them.
ChatGPT plus beer
ive had lot of late night chats with it. i think its getting serious.
