I could remove the thermal pads and switch them

[celest musk]

use the one which gives contact to the chips without applying too much pressure

you could also use the heatspreader which was designed for your laptop

and is screw mounted for a good reason

[sudden pewter]

It it even a good idea to remove the thermal pads after they're placed?

[sudden pewter]

I mean my laptop had a much worse ssd

So if it can get away with a bad thermal pad maybe this one wouldn't?

[celest musk]

for reaching temps that the heatsink is really necessary you'll have to write a bunch of GB or read even more

which you usually dont in normal usage

and then the ssd also throttles itself if it should really get too hot

[sudden pewter]

I'm going to copy over 500GB worth of data to migrate

[celest musk]

yeah and?

[fleet tangle]

It will just slow itself down so it doesn't melt.

[sudden pewter]

🤷‍♂️

[sudden pewter]

Yeah I know

[celest musk]

beside the fact that theres probably nothing with enough bandwidth to even stress the ssd with writing so much

[sudden pewter]

Thank god for that lol

[celest musk]

even with full saturated usb 3 that thing will be bored

[sudden pewter]

I'll put the other nvme pci 4 on a usb 3.2 gen 2 port to copy data over it will probably throttle but I'm just trying to figure out what's optimal

If moving the new thermal pad over is better or if I should just leave the same thermal pad it had with the old ssd

[celest musk]

i would use the one which fits best

you dont gain much from a thinner pad if it doesnt have proper contact to the flash chips

neither is a too thick pad good

[sudden pewter]

A huge area of the new ssd isn't covered by the green thermal pad

[sudden pewter]

I think the blue one would be better

Time to swap them I guess

[fleet tangle]

See you next week when you've bought a new laptop!

😂

[celest musk]

area of what

only the surface of the chips has to be in contact

not the whole pcb

[sudden pewter]

Yeah

The chips weren't all connecting

The green thermal pad (included one) is too small because the original ssd has smaller chips

(It's only 500GB so it makes sense)

[sudden pewter]

I put the green one back after all

The blue one was too thick

[celest musk]

dude

[sudden pewter]

It was making the SSD enclosure (when I put both sides) bend a little bit

[celest musk]

finish this

[sudden pewter]

So it was putting pressure on the SSD I guess

[celest musk]

i dont even know why you started with the other pad, this seems to fit quite well, okay in the zoom i see that it doesnt fit the whole surface

you could probably cut off something in the middle and put it there

but before this ends in a fire hazard or ESD damage

rather put it together like this

[sudden pewter]

My pc isn't posting

😂

What have I done

Oof

The ssd feels really warm

[sudden pewter]

Well fuck

Even with the old ssd it's not booting

It just spins the fans and turns off

[worldly sapphire]

uhmm should I be putting thermal pads on my SSD?

[zinc matrix]

ask them?

[carmine frigate]

everything feels warm here atm 😛

plug in the absolute minimum for boot

[worldly sapphire]

I just built a new computer too

My last one was from 2017 or something so I'm like whut

[carmine frigate]

its nice when u can triple your compute power for under 800$ 🙂

[worldly sapphire]

Ohh I didn't hold back for the first time in my life

Aside for GPU

[carmine frigate]

ahh i rather get new stuff more often than try "futureproof" my rig

[worldly sapphire]

Yeah my previous system was a Small Form Factor computer

After the first time upgrading a component, I was like fuck it and I'm not diving into that rat's next of cables anymore

[carmine frigate]

ahh i have a huge case... been usin it for 3 builds now

[worldly sapphire]

What? How are you runinng it?

Like, bareback on your desk

[worldly sapphire]

I've got Fractal Meshify 2 Compact. and wow what a joy

[carmine frigate]

lol i have a huge cpu cooler, but i didnt have a bracket for it.... the crappy cooler that came with it is not the right side around so its blocking 2 mem slots... i thought aww ill do that tomorrow lets see if it boots 1st

that was more than a year ago

[sudden pewter]

I tried booting without ssd it didn't

[worldly sapphire]

I need to check whether the fan on my aircooler is correctly oriented and isn't pushing against the case air flow

[sudden pewter]

Kill me please

I was so hyped to upgrade the storage

[carmine frigate]

try with 1 bar of memory.. if no work other bar in other slot

[sudden pewter]

I didn't touch the ram and I would rather not touch it

[carmine frigate]

ahh k

[sudden pewter]

I'm gonna see a repair shop tomorrow and possibly send it to HP

[carmine frigate]

you just plugged in an extra hd?

[sudden pewter]

This isn't the first time I change parts in a laptop idk what and even how I screwed up

[sudden pewter]

No I replaced the main one

[worldly sapphire]

Oh you're working in a laptop

[carmine frigate]

ahh fuck laptops.. i dont touch those anymore

[sudden pewter]

But even by putting it back it still didn't boot

It was soooooo painful to open btw

I might have broken it while opening it

[carmine frigate]

all components glued together... 6 diffrent kind of screws i dont have the tools for...

[sudden pewter]

Honestly it's only one philips head screw for this but the clips

There are like 16 clips

[worldly sapphire]

Ooof

[sudden pewter]

And you can only fit a nail to start opening it

Big oof

[worldly sapphire]

Looks like there are some taped down connectors

Like the WiFi card

[sudden pewter]

Only thing I touched is battery and nvme ssd

The battery connector is an absolute pain too

It's so tight and so small at the same time

[worldly sapphire]

Is that the wide connector by the RAM?

[sudden pewter]

No the small one with red and black

And like white and yellow in the middle

[zinc matrix]

O_O

[celest musk]

whats that black/white cable which goes below the SSD?

power button?!

[sudden pewter]

Battery is at the bottom

You mean between the ssd and the fan? @celest musk

Looks like it's the fan connectors

[celest musk]

get sure that its not squeezed

since this is the area where you worked...

[sudden pewter]

I looked at it it didn't seem like anything moved there

I closed it back I'll take it to a repair shop tomorrow and ask them if they can figure what's wrong with it

I hate laptops so much

Ithink I might have broken the screen while trying to get the back plate off

from all the pressure

[celest musk]

it shouldnt shut off then

[sudden pewter]

in the meantime Samsung Dex is really not that good

[sudden pewter]

it doesn't shut off

my screen keeps flickering urgh

basically when I turn it on the fans spin a bit then it just stays black

which would correlate perfectly to a broken screen and it opening some kind of repair utility or the bios

(even if I spam esc which is what opens the boot options it just stays black even though it turns on)

[celest musk]

it should have a FN key combo to toggle between external and internal screen

you could try that one when its on

[sudden pewter]

there's also some very slight buzzing but idk if it's always been there

@celest musk that's a software toggle not a hardware one

it won't do anything unless I get to windows

[celest musk]

it should work outside of bios, too

at least it used to be like that on the laptops i worked with (which however are >10 years old by now...)

[sudden pewter]

nah it's an os level thing

plus my external screen is set as my main screen on windows but I assume it's not turning on from how many times I turned it off and on

sorry Ican't edit my messages because Discord sucks on Dex

[celest musk]

so i guess you tried with and without external screen connected?

[sudden pewter]

yup

there's a repair shop that opens tomorrow at 10 not too far from my house

I'll just have to not hate myself too much in the meantime

[loud turret]

Is it me or unreal engine subreddit is bugged? I haven't seen new post since yesterday

[north basalt]

Does anybody knows or wonder why there is a "Shuffle" but not "Sort" options in an array? XD

This little dude can Randmly set the array everytime its called, but I can't "Sort" the list? why? XD

[unreal ether]

define sort

would you sort a string array length, or alphabetically?

[north basalt]

Sure, I have 4 item types, "Consumables", "Ammunition", "Items" and "Tools"

I'd like to set the Tools first, then the Consumables and Ammunition and finally Items at the bottom of the list. 🤔

[north basalt]

If we had an alphabetical sorter, I could set the Type to A. B. and C. making them sort automatically, but there's no node that does that, or is it? 🤔

[unreal ether]

but the engine wouldnt know thats what you want. you do so you could make that youself.

and something that takes a comparator function is a waste of time, as its not much more effort to just implement the rest of the sort

[north basalt]

Select allows you to select items and sort them or at least filter them i guess... I don't know 😅

I guess I'm ranting lol

[unreal ether]

the plugin that extends bp gives an array sorter but it needs to be provided a comparator function

[north basalt]

whats the name of that plugin? is it free? 😳

[unreal ether]

yes

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/low-entry-extended-standard-library

[north basalt]

Thank you my man 😄

I'll try the nodes and see if that helps 🙂

[unreal ether]

i hope it does, there are pre built sort nodes, but theyre probably not what you're looking for as what you want isnt a typical sort.
so setting up a comparator function should be fine

[north basalt]

Alphabetical Sort order sounds typical to me 🤔

Items are kind of Sorted when you set up an Enum if you think about it too, Items in an enum can be set on top or bellow on a priority list when you are setting it up (look at the arrows on the right):

[north basalt]

Welp, I'll be damn, Still don't know how to sort it 🤣

My array is a custom "Struct" filled with ID and Quanitity that connects to a DataTable using another Struct that keeps the items information... that table is the one that holds the Enum I mention above~

So far, I've read that you need to Loop around the items comparing them and Swapping them until no Swap is needed and the List is sorted~

I'm pretty sure there should be a more efficient way to do that 🤔

Anyone has done this type of sorting before? 🙂

Oh, thanks 🙂

[unreal ether]

Since enums are technically integers you may be able to implement your own faster sorts like quick sort.

Here have a screenie of my wonderful alien flower model

I really feel like modelling every bit of foliage by hand for my game will push the release date back 10 years

[tulip orbit]

You could just use megascans foliage. Release sooner with horrible fps?

meanwhile my issue:

that kind of issue on 20+ BPs

[pearl elk]

Funny you say that, I had a chat to acouple of the Quixel guys at Unrealfest

I think I could use some of the megascans stuff with some colouration, use other bits for kitbashing and/or mixed with procedural methods. Obviously modular foliage is a thing too just like buildings or other props

[tulip orbit]

I just need foliage that doesnt tank my FPS

anyone know of any good crafting system tutorials? Like a crafting bench type thing, with a recipe list, shows what you need, select how many...

Mine 'worked' but it got broken by my inventory system change, and it was a mess, so would kinda like to rebuild it properly

[tulip orbit]

https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-1ba39f6b84969ca669048d6897715a12-lq

[cursive crypt]

I wonder whether you know exactly what kind of system you need. Also, this sounds like you want a crafting & inventory system.

[tulip orbit]

I've got the inventory system, it works good. Just broke everything when I deleted the old inventory systems. But my crafting system is messy. Its possible the ideas are there but the implementation is shoddy

[cursive crypt]

If you don't want to design it i.e. use someone else's idea... Have you searched on the net? 🤔 I frankly, don't remember such kind of tutz.

Inventory is a common thing. Crafting not so much. Tho there are some plugins on the MP.

[tulip orbit]

Did find one vid that kinda looks like what I want, watching to see if he shows the bits I need

hm he kinda glosses over the parts I'm struggling with, and his BPs are all over the place

maybe its just the my UI suuuucks and is making it messy

suuuucks

[fathom wadi]

there was a game called Ganja Farmer from Evil-X Systems where you had to protect your weed grow from the FBI. Fun times.

[pearl elk]

I dont always grow crops but when I do I use a mining gun

and then shoot them with the pistol

[pearl elk]

dont shoot my Nali fruit bro

did you play ooblets? Epic Store exclusive, ton of $$$ for that 😅

One for laura...

[dim ruin]

I just got the most comfy chair cushion for sciatica and circulation.

its like farting into a cloud

[carmine frigate]

I once farted directly into a cloud

I was on a mountain

[fleet tangle]

I tried that once. I mist.

[tulip orbit]

how do you mean?

well yeah, the inventory handles Adding/removing items, checking quantities. The crafting UI handles the bulk of it, displaying recipes, if the player has enough materials, clicking craft.

then on machines where you feed it a material and have to wait X amount of time, it has a timer to make the item instead of instantly crafting

my implementation of it was just very messy, and probably more convoluted then it needed to be

Didnt like my UI either, so redesigning that too

yeah this is probably my first full redo. possibly second...

[tulip orbit]

oh I know that. cause thats exactly what I keep doing 😦

I've still got the old code to refer to, but its so messy.

Probably spent more time chatting about it than actually doing work too

yeah, cept I went for a sleep, and was unsuccessful at that too 😄

they were jackhammering some concrete on the site next door, was a little loud

[tulip orbit]

it seems data assets and data tables dont play well together 😦

atleast, cant seem to make a data table reference a data asset without it being a soft reference, which kinda complicates things

[pearl elk]

I got a tool which makes tables of data assets

I didnt want to have an entire table locked for single entry editing

[tulip orbit]

lol, I just changed how my crafting system works. I think. if it compiles.

if it works, I get to redo this evenings work 🙂

but also get rid of the recipe data table

same way you add an engine module dependency to your modules

never done that before either.

i was happy my username wasn't taken yet

[celest musk]

yea, i thought about taking it, but then...

people would have been confused

[bright current]

fair

i hope i wont lose my mind learning 3d modeling

[zinc matrix]

Blender?

[cursive crypt]

Go gradual. Start from 1D modelling.

[zinc matrix]

then pixel-art

[celest musk]

0D

start with a dot

[cursive crypt]

-1D go back to monke

[zinc matrix]

then vector-art

[zinc matrix]

and since 3d is vectors, you are already there 🤩

[celest musk]

isn't vector art mostly 2D?

i swear the 3rd dimension can be a pita

[zinc matrix]

yeah but still... 3d uses vectors

so, 1 dimension here and there does not make much difference

at least that is what i think 🥺

[bright current]

okay noted refuse 3d go back to monke

i did install blender a few months ago i've just been too much of a wuss to learn it

[zinc matrix]

if you are doing art for games, consider having the normals shown

[celest musk]

xD

[zinc matrix]

last one -> Normals

[celest musk]

that's quite the suggestion for someone who barely opened blender

[fathom wadi]

I prefer to show the wierds.

[bright current]

the silly goofies

[celest musk]

i prefer face orientation

which is good enough for game dev

[fathom wadi]

unless you have normal maps on your mesh

[zinc matrix]

although there is Shift + N (recalculate normals)... some-times you just need some human input on those

[celest musk]

yea, i do pretty much only inside out checks

[bright current]

the only 3d experience i have was sculpting a hand and having it 3d printed for a school project

but that was on an app not blender

[zinc matrix]

you can also skip the donuts videos by Shift + A -> M -> T and call it a day

and if you are wild, adjust your Blender to start without the default Cube

but there are controversies

[celest musk]

start it with monkey

Shift + Alt + Z for showcase on #1054845177509974107

next tutorial is how to set a palette on Gimp and bring it to Blender

[bright current]

i skipped the donut tutorial every time i downloaded blender (which has only been 2 times but still)

[zinc matrix]

i never did one

i started by reading the docs. and some basic usage on Youtube

my art is really simple... i touched the sculpting tools once

[bright current]

look mine,

that is what i call plant

[celest musk]

does it still require to use special models with depth informations or is that optional?

[worldly mesa]

I am trying to figure that out right now.. it uses ControlNet now, with a Node type setup

i honestly don't know WTH it is doing :/ and 'They ain't talkin'

this whole Node thing bugs me. Before, 2 seconds to fill in a form, now all this time placing nodes just to end up filling in a form :/ but with nodes!

[celest musk]

does someone know of a font with all the keyboard keys as icon, and ideally also smth for mouse buttons/wheel?

can be paid if priced reasonable, and should have a license which allows commercial use

[steel summit]

No, but what if you just type the character you want to use. WSAD or whatever and use a blank keyboard key as a background image?

[celest musk]

looks shitty considering the alternatives 😄

the point is that it can project on 3D shapes

which bing probably cant

[worldly mesa]

WHat version?? Source image is gone from mine. Also, i only have Depth and Depth and Color option. Please show all the settings in that panel

what models did you DL?

No Source image slot

that sounds like the old .9 version

that was the only one i could get to work. they are at 2.0 now

can you show me the top, where mine says Stable Diffusion

😠

Do you recall if you did it in Image Editor, or the 3d view?

Finally!

i used a picture of a forest as source, and 'elf ina forest' as prompt, with the Pixar Model

That was the key. I was stuck trying to project on to 3d. did Not work for what i was trying to do

Thanks

"Ain't nobody got time for that!" 😛

i had, had it working once before, a few versions back, and thought my memory would carry me through. that was a mistake :/

I literally started learning this layout on the 7th of this month

also got a split keyboard to go with it

some adjustment with that as well

[unborn lotus]

oh yeah that cheap looking one

[proud jay]

you're just a hater

I love it

both the looks and using it

[unborn lotus]

I find that hard to believe, you didn't post a pic of it today

[proud jay]

I see it before me

I don't need a picture

[pearl elk]

lol my keyboard looks pretty and has the best switches

no clicky for me

[proud jay]

which switches do you have?

[pearl elk]

Red switches

[proud jay]

cherry mx red?

I hate linears

feels yucky to me

[cursive crypt]

My prev kbd was with linears, cherry red. Switched to brown cherries. Much better.

I'm not playing competetive shooters.

[proud jay]

cherry mx brown 🤢

that's like the worst tactile switch

but if you like them

[cursive crypt]

Not at all. It is not linear. Is not loud like the blues.

[proud jay]

you do you

you know there's more than 3 kinds of switches right

[cursive crypt]

After the reds, I bought a demo kit of all their switches. Best thing to use before buying.

[proud jay]

those are just the "default" opions

[cursive crypt]

^

[proud jay]

all who's switches?

[cursive crypt]

Cherries.

[proud jay]

cherry is not the only manufacturer either though

so much customizability

[cursive crypt]

They have a good range and good switches.

[pearl elk]

I like linear for typing, I never liked clickys

[cursive crypt]

Ofc, there are more, but at some point you gotta draw a line of the effort needed to buy a kbd.

[proud jay]

Have Gazzew Boba U4T atm, pretty nice although quite heavy spring

had Feker holy pandas before, also quite nice for the price

[cursive crypt]

Reds have been to quick to actuate. Even resting my finger was accidentally triggering them. Some of the others would have been better.

[pearl elk]

Roccat also have very shallow depth so I can type super fast on linear without the added friction from clicks and bumps

[unborn lotus]

I want to get the heaviest clickies to make it 100% enjoyable for stuff like 3d modeling (pressing commands here and there)

[proud jay]

if I were linear gang would probably pich gateron yellows as budget option

I'd like to try the gateron ink blacks as well, heard good things about them

[proud jay]

if you wanna go super low profile you can get choc switches instead of mx

needs different pcb connection though, so can't put it on everything

way less common

like this

very flat

[cursive crypt]

oof

[proud jay]

it's more common on split kbs

it looks nice, but idk if I'd like typing on it tbh

I tried roccats membranical but it just didnt feel right. Theyve got optical* titan switches now on the vulcan 122. So confusing buying a keyboard from them though cuz you can get which switches you want so you gotta check the listing since theyre all the same model

librewolf for casual browsing until i find a site i trust, like the UE Education site, then it gets bookmarked in Firefox (regular, not dev). Edge for all the streaming services, since it does 1080 the best, due to the usual 'behind closed doors' deals MS does

whats the backstory on that?

[tulip orbit]

typical. if that was a woman character running around half nekkid, you wouldnt question it

[carmine frigate]

ofc not

I pay extra for that

[scenic ocean]

I mean it looks awesome nonetheless

[carmine frigate]

thats last pic looks like verry chippy and sharp rocks on the ground.. i hope he is wearing boots

yea i dont think i like that last pic... there is soo much clutter and looks unnatural

its all tiny red rocks.. but under it has diffrent color

he has a linetrace sticking out of him

where does the trace start?

I like how its just 1 trace... thats more performant than 200 traces

that wil save optimizing in a later stage

[proud jay]

is that death stranding?

but like lower quality

[fleet tangle]

This panda looks absolutely bewildered. Poor thing.

[carmine frigate]

Star Citizen is kind of controversial

someting about supporters just tossed money into the empty void of space

Star Citizen changed from cryengine to lumberyard i believe... did they stick with that as final engine?

its like the biggest game ever not released on lumberyard i believe

also didnt lumberyard change to some opensource public domain stuff? 😛

mayB they need to fork that

I installed lumberyard once.. it was something

crysis 2 wasmultiplayer

i think the 100 player thing has more to do with dedicated servers bein the norm

and servers bein faster overall

yea but games are build for rented top line servers now, not player hosted

ahh must be new, never heared of it

UE5 stuff

[fluid bloom]

well fortnite does use it so it's not that high risk imho

[carmine frigate]

doesnt say fortnite uses it tho

[fluid bloom]

oh wait

I read that wrong

you're right, I was wrong 😄

[carmine frigate]

The system builds on Epic's experience with Fortnite Battle Royale,

so it prolly does..

or looking at using it

dunno how it ties in with GAS cuz that has replication and IS used for FN

Current game code should work with minimal changes.... so might aswell have a way to flip it on and off from the start

its a lot of pre programmed stuff

prolly worth a look, can also just steal some fuctions from it

[fleet tangle]

For most MP, GAS and CMC is the way to go.

[pearl elk]

ewww CMC

[worldly mesa]

what is CMC?

[pearl elk]

ChonkyMovementComponent

[fleet tangle]

It's not great for performance, but with most games that doesn't matter.

If you have a lot of characters, sure, use something else.

GMC has a lot of improvements over the CMC too.

It just aint free 😛

[fluid bloom]

what's GMC?

..how do I remove that quote 😄

[unreal ether]

general movement component

its great, it also supports box colliders for characters

and source style movement

[fluid bloom]

with broken diagonal velocity?

[unreal ether]

yep

[fluid bloom]

😄

[proud jay]

man got new wheels on my office chair, such nice rolling

also makes me sit a little higher, very nice

[fluid bloom]

personally I always found it annoyingly floaty

[unreal ether]

accelerated bhopping and surfing mainly

very nostaligic and can be great for more fast paced shooters

[fleet tangle]

Broken diagonal velocity? I.e. forward+left = move faster?

[proud jay]

or just normalizing

AI refactoring good? Hmm....

[proud jay]

this is gonna ruin juniors though

[cursive crypt]

I would be surprised if it is offline. Tho it could be a pretty small model....

Imagine writting code and your GPU being on 99%

These days, nonAI earns respect.

I suppose, but will be #cpp satisfied with such mediocre model? BrainJet prolly use something more fancy. On nvidia gpus.

At least I would have advertised as such. Ride the wave.

[broken sigil]

Larger models with LLMs is not always the way to go
There are smart techniques to getting much larger context lengths with smaller models
And 7-12B models running at fp16 (about 14-24GB of memory) outperforming GPT3.5

GPT3 and 4 are so huge that most of their weights are not fully trained so it's wasted potential and why just a 7B model can outperform it

[cursive crypt]

So, GPU on 200%

I mean, they may have explained what is that AI actually.

[broken sigil]

it's GPT4 I'm 99% sure
But it's actually so much better than standard GPT4, it must be a custom finetuned version or something

they had to restart the server for a windows update

[bronze axle]

Someone tripped over the power cord.

Twice.

[fleet tangle]

I actually accidentally unplugged the power cable of a machine in a data centre once.

It seemed to have 2 plugged in to it, though, so I quickly plugged the other one back in and walked away.

[celest musk]

xD

yea servers usually have redundant power supply

[fleet tangle]

I dunno. It was the only server I ever saw there with one.

Thsi was back in the 2000s.

I used to go to Telehouse in London quite a lot.

[celest musk]

well my knowledge is also from ~2010 only and a small company, but their servers had it all

except for those which dont store critical data

[fleet tangle]

Actually my step-brother-in-law actually runs a company that has its own data centre. It's pretty neat.

Apparently.

[celest musk]

i guess the majority of cloud servers runs without redundant power either

[fleet tangle]

He is just a little bit loaded.

[celest musk]

they just stay synced, if one unit goes down another can handle it without data loss

[steel summit]

Worst oops I ever did was restore a live database with a test one because I thought I was on the test environment. Was only like that for a few mins before the customer called and was wondering where all the data went. Good thing we had daily backups.

[woven wing]

I put my personal email in an error message that shouldn't have left an internal test

[celest musk]

i think something similar happened to me, at least i remember spending a day typing of data from paper back into the system because there was a rollback for some reason 😄

[woven wing]

But left before we ever actually rolled it out. It didn't work quite right and if there's a power outage, that error message pops up on what looks like an ATM placed around bars and a tech has to go out and fix it

I'm assuming they finally fixed it because that was like 10 years ago and I finally stopped getting emails like a year or two ago

[fleet tangle]

Isn't that what github did or something?

Except they didn't have backups.

Some big company failed horrendously by typing a command into the wrong terminal.

Oh it might have been them.

Probably better to ask this in an UE channel but as far as Im aware youre allowed to share the plugin with team members no worries and yes in the projects plugin folder, just make sure its compiled for the right engine version

In any case, the EULA can be read.

Please consult a legal professional

[cursive crypt]

For 100$ I can consult too, btw.

Plugin files can be shared, but licenses will need to be purchased for each user that will be using the plugin.

See, I was right.

1000$ plz

[woven wing]

They can't afford the $1000, all of their money went to plugins 😔

[cursive crypt]

dafuq? 800$ 20% discount

"Team! The plugin we need is in 'free this month'! Grab it or you're fired"

[pearl elk]

Is that some photoscammetry stuff?

[cursive crypt]

It is all legit.

[pearl elk]

Legit expensif

I wonder how plugin usage is defined

if its just on but not called from anywhere is that used?

Is it called from my code or someone elses

Seems like a difficult thing to manage, Im not even sure how you buy seats on Epic MP

[woven wing]

You have to register your company with Epic, and you can add/remove people and stuff

I looked at it but haven't used it

[pearl elk]

Well least they have some sort of system in place, Im a sole trader so all my personal and business is mixed

I was more thinking how you go about making a purchase, buying it individually for 10 users seems like a pain let alone 50-100 each needing Epic accounts

Id just avoid buying stuff tbh, saves management overheads

Yeah small groups its easier but I would hate to have a big business where every new employee is instructed to make an Epic account just to manage licenses. Its not like Epic have a way of validating who worked on what project and when precisely anyway

Im not suggesting you do the wrong thing btw, just that its alot of redtape for not much reason

I can imagine that sort of clause hurts freelancers pretty badly unless the company they work for shares a seat for a limited time. I think seats are transferable

Would be totally naff to link a license to someone individually and perpetually

Im not a lawyer though so dont take my word for it, I just know I what angles I might dispute if it came down to it

[woven wing]

Just looking at business laws like 💀

[unborn lotus]

Just looking at lawyer prices ☠️

[woven wing]

What's a budget?

[pearl elk]

Dont forget lots of this EULA stuff favours the writer on purpose, its not all legally enforcable depending where you live. If Epic does manage to drag you back to NC then you might have issues lol

Thats why I say talk to a lawyer, they know your local stuff better than international lawyers would

[woven wing]

"Hey chat gpt, I'm seeing a lawyer tomorrow and I would like to have a templet legal document to look at for [my specific purpose] can you write one for me for [my locality]"

[pearl elk]

too bad if theres been case law counter to your position since 2021 rip

You just need a good programmer lol

Still trying to find a plugin I bought, dont think I own any

wait, Instant Photo Camera... here we go, I know I paid for that one

They obviously add complexity in licensing though. I got nothing against plugins I just think the better thing to do is have the plugin itself free with support being the cost

[woven wing]

I'm in a nice spot where if it's expensive, I probably don't need it. If it's free, I should probably learn how to do it myself, first

[pearl elk]

Ive helped on UE specific plugins which are free on github, just makes for a nicer interface to be able to use git modules and pull em directly so you get the updates direct. Thats if you arnt forking them though

Main issue with UE stuff is that most of the time you want to provide a sample project so you have a git module for your plugin in your project but most people just embed the plugin into the project for release

If we can add this to UE, we can delete this server.

[deep glen]

people pointed out all it does is download crap from sketchfab

[cursive crypt]

Mooons, you heard dat? Your little cow is a crap.

[cursive crypt]

Saw mentioned they use their own DB, gathered from... something.

[proud jay]

if you look at unreal, this really does look like a toddler made this

[celest musk]

also keep in mind that this is an Ad

the examples are cherrypicked

epic might add similar things tho, ML Deformer is one step in the direction

i could see that they add something similar for animations, which take the body shape/rig into account

which then lets unity fade into irrelevancy again

yea, where one decade was CSS fixes for IE6 😄

the one thing that a Web based solution would probably do better is element styling

i feel like this is the main clutter in UMG

[zinc matrix]

👀

[zinc matrix]

Free? 😮

[celest musk]

the good thing with UnityAI is that we can send all the AI Crypto NFT scammers to their discord now 😄

[pearl elk]

You know its cool tech when its got the bouncy music

[celest musk]

player position is centered? so that doesnt even need to be in the material

just overlay an image over the minimap material

oh

[zinc matrix]

That would be an image with a material

You would offset the uv based on rotation

[pearl elk]

You cant use simple math in materials?

[zinc matrix]

You would pass through the value as a parameter

[fleet tangle]

You can use a lot of math in materials.

[zinc matrix]

Math could be done in the widget

[celest musk]

i would do the math in the material tho

[fleet tangle]

To be fair, you could probably do the math in the material. The actor orientation might be available there

[celest musk]

is probably faster than cpu ticks

[zinc matrix]

To be fair UMG is not bad but it could be stronger in terms of features

And tbh I rather use UMG than web stuff

[fleet tangle]

Slate is the way to go.

WIll leave now

[zinc matrix]

Mainly cuz I am just used to work with UMG in the last couple of year

[pearl elk]

web tech is the reason the launcher runs like ass

[celest musk]

is it? i thought the launcher is just crap

[cursive crypt]

I would say it is more like a low-effort job.

[hollow dawn]

the epic launcher? its slow af... takes forever to launch or load a page

[fleet tangle]

Not sure if that's because the epic servers or the launcher itself is a piece of shit.

[hollow dawn]

like me and mates dont even open it if they got cool free games... its just such a hazzle

[celest musk]

i dont see why something like tiny tina wouldnt be possible with UMG

sure you got to learn shit, but it's not impossible, and neither will it take much longer when used to UMG (maybe it's even faster implemented in UMG for some skilled dev)

[pearl elk]

Are Gearbox still using Scaleform?

[celest musk]

but then, how are you going to solve inheritance for your web stuff? javascript? some custom template parser?

reusing existing code...

and building on top of existing layouts

ah it sounded like you are already working on it...

[pearl elk]

those both can write slate code, just sayin 😛

[fleet tangle]

UMG is a wrapper for slate that makes it blueprint accessible

All the stuff you can do in UMG is based on slate stuff, so it's very similar. Just in code, rather than visuals.

[hollow dawn]

but if you really just wonder what horse seeman is up to today...

[soft night]

[fleet tangle]

If there is, it'll be called a combo box.

[hollow dawn]

you can do stuff like "button appears if i hover here" but its def getting kinda bloaty at some point imo, gotta use alot of different slates...
but that appplis to blueprints too, cant sort the items in it properly so it becomes one huge pile of stuff

so what you do is you make blueprints that you put into blueprints, or slates into slates

the drop down menuwould simply be a smaller slate ontop the big background one

[fleet tangle]

Normally the dropdown part goes into the hover layer where tooltips and the like are.

[hollow dawn]

or that way

they got an official tutorial for that hey

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/InteractiveExperiences/UMG/HowTo/CreateMainMenu/

[celest musk]

that was never 2 seconds

[hollow dawn]

yeah...

like at least 1min

if you write code with +/- 52 seconds accuracy that might get wonky

[fleet tangle]

(nevermind)

[celest musk]

it's absolute

which however might bite you in the butt in other ways

[fleet tangle]

I noticed!

[hollow dawn]

css+ hotml is quite nice to style stuff for dynmaic display sizes indeed, but you have that in umg too, kinda

but its unreal, you can prolly open a slate file and let your ai edit it for yu, or even faster, simply use old school copy paste 😛

ue has 3d to screenspace conversions in blueprints

[pearl elk]

That dropdown does nothing on click

How would you bind the delegate to game functionality or pass the payload through an interop layer?

Thats kinda the core of it, visuals are bleh

[celest musk]

nice loose dependencies

[pearl elk]

an easy slow lookup versus an assignment

[celest musk]

this gonna be hella fun to debug when someone renamed smth

[pearl elk]

Now if you said you had UE reflection in JS Id be all over it 😛

If you reflect the properties then it doesnt matter what the events called since its an onchanged for that data

some could use like anglesharp

[celest musk]

i think you should learn UMG and materials

before even thinking of implementing your own solution

https://blog.elmah.io/parsing-websites-in-c-with-html-agility-pack-or-anglesharp/ if someone had somethig one way to do it

that dotnet have source generators too now make it perhaps easier to make files web files

[celest musk]

Minecraft!?!

have you ever seen minecraft UI code?

or minecraft UI in general

it's mostly just textures overlayed, and some opengl stuff for tinting, etc.

there's no UI framework

[hollow dawn]

i think all guis should employ pipboys

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-fallout4-pip-boy-wiping-screen-gif-4727887

[celest musk]

xD

that was the worst game ui i've ever encountered

[cursive crypt]

Commandeer Keen was the first. Pretty dope it was.

poured coke over my keyboard

[cursive crypt]

eww

Knowing I clean my kbd like 1h, this sounds frustrating.

[fluid bloom]

I could just wash this under a tap

[cursive crypt]

Washing machine could be a better idea.

[proud jay]

wait, since when did nigey leave the server?

[unreal ether]

noooo

not nigey

[proud jay]

who's gonna make our coffee now?

[fathom wadi]

maybe he quit unreal engine in favour of php/css ¬_¬

[pearl elk]

It wasnt voluntary

[proud jay]

oof

[unreal ether]

he was banned? 🥲

[broken sigil]

Yeah he was (checked the log)

[pearl elk]

banned for Nigeying

[unreal ether]

poor soul. I was boutta say i cant even see anything he did ban worthy, but then remembered thats kinda the point and strike worthy messages get deleted :P

[proud jay]

the sheep police got to him

[unreal ether]

banned for too many mentions of spider milk (rightfully so)

[fleet tangle]

I'm not sure I want to know what spider milk is.

[broken sigil]

It wasn't for nothing

[proud jay]

sus

[celest musk]

yea

[proud jay]

he was a very h*rny boy

[celest musk]

show us the images as proof

[broken sigil]

[unreal ether]

oh dear

yeah thats rather justified

explains also why i couldnt find the messages in question 😆

[fathom wadi]

why on earth would be post such stuff knowing he would get banned? On purpose you think?

[proud jay]

https://tenor.com/view/vorzek-vorzneck-oglg-og-lol-gang-gif-24901093

[fleet tangle]

Some flaunt the rules. Some simply don't care.

[fathom wadi]

yeah I guess. Silly thing to do when you been hanging out here for years. I'd crap a donkey sized brick if I was banned tbh.
