[novel storm]

Yeah, my layout

[proud jay]

is that something to write about lol

[novel storm]

I added a ton of stuff for FancyWM, which is a tiling manager for Windows

Fascinating

[proud jay]

every person with a non commercialised split board needs to make their own keymap

wild

could you convince them to buy a split keyboard?

[cobalt oracle]

👀
that's pretty goooood

[proud jay]

oh no

[pearl elk]

I worked at a company once and they had 340 PCs and not a single mousepad

[cobalt oracle]

we have one cherry blue user at the office here

I am the cherry brown guy

the rest are rubber dome peasants

we have headsets cranking music

[proud jay]

yeah that's mean

I had holy panda switches and already felt loud

[pearl elk]

Id be careful about who you tell that too

[proud jay]

using gateron milky yellows atm

the only sound is from me bottoming out the keys lol

[cobalt oracle]

well, I think if I wanna be precise, mine are otemu browns

[proud jay]

colleague of mine has kaihl box reds silent

and holy shit they're actually silent

[pearl elk]

red ftw

[proud jay]

man's typing at 120wpm and you don't hear a thing

but they feel kinda weird imo

[cobalt oracle]

red 😰
for me feels like typing on a slice of bread
mushy mushy

[proud jay]

although I was a linear hater until last week so

[cobalt oracle]

I need to fight my keycaps 🦾

[proud jay]

you can get heavier linears too

e.g. gateron ink blacks

60g

[cobalt oracle]

but... the bumpy thingy... how can I know i won the fight if I don't feel them break? 👀

[proud jay]

which is heavier than browns

[novel storm]

The senior dev in the interview Zoom meeting was in a cubicle...I wonder if Cherry browns would be too much?

[proud jay]

you break the bottom of your keyboar instead 🧠

[proud jay]

in general anything not clicky is accepted in my experience

[pearl elk]

I dunno all you cherry brown peeps should just go full mechanical typewriter, then you really get some fight

[cobalt oracle]

I'd take you on that bet

[proud jay]

mx browns are like the worst kind of tactile switch though

[pearl elk]

unfortunately Im old enough to have done a few school reports on those 😛

easier than battling a dot matrix printer

[proud jay]

I learned to type on a typewriter

good days

and I'm not even that old

computers existed, they just used typewriters since I guess it is less distracting or something?

idk

[proud jay]

I wish companies would drop the landscape desk ideas

like the open desk space plan

I don't need my own office, but like an office for 4 or 5 people would be nice

I had that at my first job

at least you could talk shit in peace

and didn't have to hear people yelling on calls

[novel storm]

I experimented with developing in VR, I wonder how that might affect things in the future. I think it'll take off

[proud jay]

this is our layout now

not that there are ever that much people in the office now lol

[novel storm]

You just...have that on your computer?

[proud jay]

was there yesterday with a grand total of 3 others

[proud jay]

I'm on my work pc, we have a onenote on a public drive with office info

[novel storm]

Ahhh

[proud jay]

also I am our unofficial office manager so I know where this info is stored lol

I know

we're moving to a new office at the end of the year though

those 3 central things are meeting rooms btw, not desks

idk

there's not much us mere employees know about it

it's a coworking space

but we rent a whole floor

this is their site https://www.intheyard.be/

doesn't reveal much

[cobalt oracle]

you at least have a floor plan

we just drew it on a napking and winged it

🦾

[proud jay]

well we do have a head office with more than 400 desks, so they were used to some kind of organization

in this regional office we only have 35 seats

luckily since covid it's a lot if there's 10 people in the office lol

[novel storm]

ngl I don't understand the appeal of WFH

I work three days per week at my day job, and if I have multiple days off in a row, I feel weird with little contact

[proud jay]

that's just you though

I like being alone a lot of the time

[novel storm]

valid

[cobalt oracle]

had to do it for like 2 years for covid. Started my days working at 7am, ended at 8pm because I couldn't go home as I was already home

[novel storm]

It is nice tho that they let me do 40 hours in 3 days

[proud jay]

lol, my surface headphones headband broke so I sent it back for repair, they said it couldn't be repaired, so they gave me a full refund

[cobalt oracle]

11/10 would not recommend if you can't stop

[proud jay]

leased a headset for 18 months at 0 euros

time to buy a new one I guess

any recommendations?

sony XM5 looks interesting

the surface headphones were great tbh, but this breakage is common apparently so don't want it to happen again next year

[novel storm]

Pixel Buds Pro are great, but they aren't over-the-ear

[proud jay]

I don't want it then

needs to be over the ear, wireless and preferably multi point bluetooth

and decent mic quality

[cobalt oracle]

I went your route once, wouldn't do it again. Even best integrated mics can't hold a candle to even a cheapo dedicated mic.
get a headset with a good enough mic for calls to be understood. If you want to record, invest an extra buck in a real mic 🤷‍♀️

[proud jay]

I don't want to record lol

just for meetings

but my previous headset made me sound like I was hiding in a sewer under water

[cobalt oracle]

discord krispr (or other meeting software noise supression solution) will fix that and it will be good enough for meetings 🤷‍♀️
I would say, pick a headset that sounds good and mic will be inheritly good enough
just in case you want to know https://www.rtings.com/headphones has recording from the mic of pretty much any headset

[proud jay]

maybe the xm4 is also good for like 80 bucks less

slightly worse ANC and no multipoint

but 80 bucks though

I do like the look of the XM5 a lot though

[cobalt oracle]

ANC changed my life but on my buds, I don't know if I want it on my headset 🤔

[proud jay]

see this ^

[cobalt oracle]

oh, ANC that can cancel out voices? 👀
that is beyond what my buds can do

my ANC is electric humming, trafic noise, etc
"easy to learn" noise

[proud jay]

[proud jay]

lol I put headphones in my shopping cart and under accessories it recommends the same headphones in a different color lol

together with apple airpods lol

[unreal ether]

I don't understand why recommendations are always so bad

Google play has the worst ones

[proud jay]

is that the super realistic vr game?

or na?

ah no, that was unrecord

unrecord does look very nice

but not really a game ti would play

if people question whether your gameplay is just a recording you know you are hitting realism

[zinc matrix]

I noticed literally a week after the unrecord reveal 2 bodycam kits were announced in #1054845120236757103 lmao

[unreal ether]

Me too. As cool as it is, the gameplay looks like it would be quite dry very quickly

Because anything else that would make it in would "break the immersion"

[proud jay]

didn't know Laura made music

Is that why she surrounds coroutines with musical notes

[uncut mesa]

Hello, everyone.
I have a question about the plug-in that draws Google Open Street Map.
What I want the most is that when I drag Google Open Street Map like Lumion and place it at the level, I hope it can be up and down with a terrain modification tool.
Previously, I called it up with blender gis add-on first and placed it in Unreal, but after watching that video, I called up Google Open Street Map with Unreal Plug-in (Cesium).
But the terrain was still impossible to modify.
Is there a way to place Google OpenStreetMap on Unreal Engine and modify terrain with Landscape Tools?

https://youtu.be/c9scbvH8H9U

↑ lumion landscape edit

↑ I want

[proud jay]

it's all just controlled by the lizard people

all the same

[uncut mesa]

google openstreet map

[proud jay]

that's just google maps

not that any of that matters for you issue I think

[uncut mesa]

You can get Cesium plug-ins and available api keys on the Google Maps platform

[proud jay]

oh true

why is that page mixed korean and english though

not very consistent

(I think it's korean at least)

[uncut mesa]

sorry I use web translate

I am not good at english

[proud jay]

same dude, same

[uncut mesa]

but I want to study this

Unreal so funny

I like

[proud jay]

yeah I laugh all day when doing game development

mainly to hide the tears

[uncut mesa]

yeah

hmm

[river sable]

who's there

[unreal ether]

https://tenor.com/view/f-bi-raid-swat-gif-11500735

It was not a social call

[worldly mesa]

Blender cloth physics works pretty well, until you try to use it on clothing that does not start a foot away from the body :/

[river sable]

blender sims are pretty good until you actually use them?

[worldly mesa]

pretty much

[river sable]

chuckles in vellum

learn houdini you won't regret it 🙂

[worldly mesa]

i would invest the time if it was free

[river sable]

learning license is free, indie is extremely affordable

[worldly mesa]

this particular game is being made with all open source software and community resources and ideas. perhaps for the other one, that this one is intended to fund

[river sable]

alright, well sure

[proud jay]

such a tragedy

[river sable]

is unreal considered open source software 🤔

(it's not)

[proud jay]

no

[unreal ether]

No, it's source available

[river sable]

well sorry to tell you hunanbean but you can't use unreal for your project anymore

[proud jay]

time to make arma instead

[river sable]

arma with dragons

[unreal ether]

Just learn what msbuild does and do the opposite

[worldly mesa]

well crap. i quit. I'm outta here. good bye cruel chat room!

ah, i changed my mind. nevermind

[river sable]

I was promised room temp superconductors, where are they?

I like that fuckjava.com is an actual url

[timber viper]

i'll play nier again

[timber viper]

you guys mean the ichinose

[fleet tangle]

In space, room temperature is pretty cold.

[clear dust]

that would make the "room temperature challenge" a bit different lol

[fleet tangle]

Nobody said you couldn't cheat!

[proud jay]

depends how you define a room I guess

[carmine frigate]

there is also space in a room

my room also has shelf space and disk space

[river sable]

🤔

[carmine frigate]

space comes in all shapes and sizes

also in movies

like outerspace.. and innerspace

and lost in space

i lost my udders

yea turns out udder crabsd have a hard time milking themself

its the claws

[zinc matrix]

arrived

[river sable]

what about the sodaspace

https://youtu.be/YjHqUiKmBcs

[carmine frigate]

sodaspace in invading my personal space

[bronze axle]

I will post about it later today. Traveling at the moment.

Thanks for reminding me.

[proud jay]

now you can c#

[zinc matrix]

much better now. Now I can read text without having that "outer blur" caused by assymetric axis

[proud jay]

like astigmatism?

[zinc matrix]

yes

[proud jay]

never seen it described like that lol

the axis thing

for some reason when I was looking at the sony xm5, the white version was like 30 bucks extra

kinda racist if you ask me

[broken sigil]

a what?

I just gave 60$ for a game and I can't install it lol

I'm so confused lmao

If I change it to anything other that what it sets it to by default it screams at me

lol

Bought Rachet and Clank before I checked if it was on steam too, now I see that it is lol

Well never had issues before and usually prefer it over steam but this was annoying

have to install it where it sets it by default....

Oh dear...
Plus another 4 source builds

I think it's time for some of these to go lol

Seriously, I have to wait for this thing to download before I can delete these....

[broken sigil]

Freed up about 800GB of space

old games, old engine builds, etc...

[fleet tangle]

That's just quitter talk.

The real tactic is to just buy a bigger ssd and copy it over!

[broken sigil]

That's the approach I've been taking so far 😅

[median wraith]

Don't remove anything, just add the 5.3

Na Itch cannot be there or compared with Humble, how dare you

[zinc matrix]

My eyes.... strain. It's going to take one day or more to adjust to this high diopter

[median wraith]

Yeah that always happen when you change glasses

[broken sigil]

I get a headache every time when I even try to wear glasses
I'm using daily contact lenses instead

But pretty much just when I'm going out or driving since I have -0.75 so it isn't that bad

[timber viper]

finally managed to beat nier automata boss

didnt know we could manually use health boosts

ffs

why no one told me

[fleet tangle]

So nier and yet so far.

[broken sigil]

Finally... only waited a year and a half because my internet decided to be as*

Lets see how this runs

[tulip bison]

why did you pussy out on object range ?

[carmine frigate]

object range on 6... what a n00b

get rekt by invisable players

[zinc matrix]

Also. I spent a whole day without glasses. Because the store told me "leave your frame here, in 2h we'll have your new lens mounted". 4 hours later I went back and they told me "its going to take one more day because the frame and the lens require special treatment and cutting".

[broken sigil]

it's raytracing distance 😅

Welp... it runs well lol

[carmine frigate]

get rekt by badly raytraced players

[broken sigil]

damn it's a good looking game

might be one of the best looking games I've played in a long time

[tulip bison]

I actually havn’t played any games recently, kinda sad actually 😢 there is none I feel like playing rn

[celest musk]

isnt it kinda what brings you into gamedev?

wanting to make a game that you would like to play

and the twist about this, is that you are the person which is least likely to actually play it 😄

you rather spent weeks debugging it, etc.

[tulip bison]

it does kinda make games less fun when you start to look at them as numbers not some magical world.

even when you arnt doing dev and just start to look at numbers to min/max its kinda like that aswell

[tulip bison]

and this is definitely true, you have dreams of making your dream game, but when you created every mechanic in the game and know all its little secrets what is point of playing it lol

[celest musk]

and you start to see stuff that other people barely notice

e.g. repetitive textures

[fleet tangle]

Which game's that?

[tulip bison]

I hope they make the maths channel they were talking about in cpp tbh because I would learn by reading that channel every now and again, my maths is not amazing because I didn’t go to college when I left school and had no reason to learn it. I probably should have, when I was in school they put me in the top classes for maths and science so Im not exactly stupid but I didnt do the education I probably should have…

[broken sigil]

Rachet and Clank rifts apart
Came out yesterday for PC

[fleet tangle]

Oh

[broken sigil]

RTX looking nice 😅

[fleet tangle]

I was sure that R&C was some sort of platformer.

That looks more like an rpg.

[broken sigil]

it is a platformer

[tulip bison]

Ye I normally just learn what I need as I need it, but if there was a maths channel I could just learn that while browsing this discord and learning unreal

[fleet tangle]

This screenshot reminds me of Stray.

Not sure why.

[broken sigil]

The city actually looks really similar

[tulip bison]

I need horizon forbidden west on pc, they released zero dawn on pc and it was probably one of best games ive ever played, been waiting forever for them to release forbidden west and i’m losing hope

I know the second I give in and buy a ps they will release it on pc…

[fleet tangle]

I gto to the bit in zero dawn where it's a desert and there are flying enemies and kinda stopped.

I didn't like that I had basically nothing to do against them, couldn't hide, etc.

I had plenty of stealth skills, but that is shitty when the flying enemies just completely ignore all your stealth abilities and attack you.

[broken sigil]

Same 🥲

[tulip bison]

you can use the rope caster thing on the flying ones to pin them to the ground

[fleet tangle]

Yeah, but they still ignore my stealth!

The giant flying ones too.

Like what

[tulip bison]

ye, it sucks if you want to play stealth and you are forced to fight, but most of the bosses are like that anyway ?

[broken sigil]

I played HZD on the hardest difficulty and my only complaint was that it was a bit too easy at times 😅
I even got the special suit and didn't use it to make it more difficult lol

[fleet tangle]

I'm on the hardest difficulty too I think.

I found normal ridiculously easy.

But then I gto stuck on that fight with the crocodile and jaguar robots

That was a dick.

[tulip bison]

Oh you mean the suit with the shield that recharges

[fleet tangle]

I had to nope out of the dungeon and level up a bit. Came back in with about 50 bombs.

[broken sigil]

Pretty sure I finished every single side task, had over 100 hours by the time I was done with it
I loved that game, hoping they port the new one
The story just gets better and better the more you play

Also DLC was pretty good

It might be one of the best stories in a game

[broken sigil]

yeah

[tulip bison]

I dont know if you played the expansion part in the snow, but there is towers in that part that send out pulses and disable the shield on that suit so its not even that good in those fights

[broken sigil]

yeah I played the DLC

actually thought it was as good as the base game

[tulip bison]

I actually got stuck on the bear boss thing must have tried it 100 times, I came back a few months later loaded my save and beat it first try without even remembering half the buttons

I have no idea how…

[broken sigil]

Only thing I had to retry a few times was couple of the challenges, I wanted to get best times on all of them.... that... took... so long
And the first fight with the dinasour looking thing was pretty rough

[tulip bison]

None of the bosses gave me much trouble, the giant trex thing wasnt that bad for me but that dlc bear thing wrecked me too many times

It just doesnt make sense that while I was actively playing it and familar with it I couldnt beat it, but months later with no practise I could

I was probably just tilted lol

[fleet tangle]

I may have to go back to it at some point.

[tulip bison]

I liked that you had to go and hunt the herd animals for supplies and prepare for the harder fights.

and there was a certain arrow, if you shoot the canisters off with that arrow it gives you alot more of the resources

I probly cheesed alot of it after I unlocked the sticky bombs, because I literally just farmed bombs and just sticky bombed everything lol

[zinc matrix]

she does!

hitting the 15 wpm spot!

[broken sigil]

I farmed a lot, by the end I had way too much resources 😅

[tulip bison]

same, I had a nice technique for farming the bombs, I think they were called grazers that you needed to get the caniaters from. as soon as you shoot one they all run away which is not very efficient. I ran up with the rope caster and before they react just start roping as many of them as possible, then you walk round all the ones that are roped down and melee finish them in order that you roped them

then you shoot the canisters off them when they are dead with the special harvesting arrow

[broken sigil]

I got them together and shot the canisters with flaming arrows and they end up exploding and killing the rest

[tulip bison]

did that not destroy the other canisters ?

[broken sigil]

Pretty sure I still got some, that was my way of quickly farming them 😅

[tulip bison]

doesnt sound very efficient if it was destroying canisters ngl lol

did you use the harvesting arrows no ?

[zinc matrix]

eye strain is better now. Going to sleep now.

[broken sigil]

Not as much

[slow imp]

should I make animations in UE5 or blender?

I just want to make a few using the Manny skelaton

I've already used it a few times using sequencer though

yeah

[celest musk]

every time i tried to animate in UE i ended up in blender

[slow imp]

lol yeah

I feel like my time would be better spent in blender

[celest musk]

it is

[tulip orbit]

but how to animate the manny skeleton from blender? where do you get the skeleton?

[celest musk]

mr mannequin tools

[slow imp]

i should try that

hopefully the skills transfer since its just keyframming

[celest musk]

yea it has IK, etc. and export settings for unreal

[tulip orbit]

ah right, forgot about that one

[celest musk]

so it matches the UE skeleton in unreal

[slow imp]

i gotta get that back

lost it in blender 3.2

[tulip orbit]

the ue4 manny or the ue5 manny?

[celest musk]

both

[tulip orbit]

nice

[slow imp]

based epic games

[celest musk]

or wait, don't take my word on that

[slow imp]

how difficult would this animation be?

[celest musk]

it has femmequin tho from what i recall

[tulip orbit]

too late

[slow imp]

Its just someone doing a finger pistol then "shooting"

like this,

https://tenor.com/view/yusuke-urameshi-gif-22060516

wondering if I could try UE since i'm more familair with it

[celest musk]

well, for UE you should at LEAST get the official IK control rig

so you can animate with ik in sequencer

[slow imp]

yeah that's what I usually end up doing

just tedious

I need to watch more videos on it to make less mistakes

[celest musk]

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/mannequins-asset-pack

[slow imp]

what's the difference between this and what's included with every UE project?

and creating a control rig by right clicking the skeleton

[celest musk]

i dont use the ue skeleton

the control rig from epic has backward solving which can be used for keyframing existing animations in the sequencer

idk if the default one has backward solving, my guess is no

point of backward solving is that existing FK poses can be calculated back to IK control points

is it your favorite minecraft block?

The jobs channels should have a requirement to list the recruiters favourite Minecraft block

It's the only way to truly gauge their character

[unborn lotus]

I assume if you don't play Minecraft it's an instant hire

[proud jay]

man, these new headphones sound so much nicer than my previous ones, and those were already so much better than the ones before

this new sound makes me wanna cry with how good it is

rip forgot to make bread yesterday

cereal for lunch it is

[unreal ether]

Do you not buy cheap sliced bread?

Granted it's got nothing on a home made loaf

[proud jay]

I make my own bread

good shit

damn just listened to "mountains" interstellar ost on my new headset max volume, goosebumps

[unreal ether]

I really need to start making my own bread again

It's so easy

But so delicious

And it makes the house smell good for hours

Do you make large batches of dough and freeze it to make it easier for future times?

[proud jay]

no

I don't own a freezer atm

and also that sounds gross

[unreal ether]

Dough freezes quite well

[proud jay]

most things freeze quite well

it's the unfreezing that's the problem

sounds like it would lose a lot of taste

[unborn lotus]

Where do you store your icecream then

[proud jay]

in my stomach

[hollow dawn]

oh no, unreal started building shaders just cause... it just did that -.-

and yes you can freeze dough yo... not sure how long...

u never tried a half frozen strawberry cheesecake?

😮

[unreal ether]

Frozen dough doesn't really lose flavour. You just have to make sure it's first thawed and room temperature so the yeast wakes back up

[hollow dawn]

oh yeast dough.. dunno

cuppa sounds bout right id imagine as not a baker

how do you even just make your own icecream without a freezer? 😮

yay, only 4000 shaders left

wherever those come from

whole project has one simple color material and a post process, no starter content

i just wanna check a blueprint lolol

[unreal ether]

I'm no baker either but I do always use some frozen dough for deep pan pizzas, and it doesn't really affect the taste or its ability to rise.

Id imagine regular ol bread it's much of the same

[proud jay]

I really should make pizza sometime

I've been saying that for a while

[carmine frigate]

i have a bag of flour, but only use it to make chicken nuggets

[hollow dawn]

i think chicken should have rights too, why should we get to decide wether its gonna be katsu or nugget?

[median wraith]

Thanks man!

[fleet tangle]

Funny thing, in the UK it's still free for a woman to change her last name when she gets married, but for a guy to do it he has to pay!

(not that the extra stuff involved in that is probably free, but still)

It is. Not a hill I'd exactly die on, but still.

[median wraith]

Here alike things happen too

[fleet tangle]

I mean it's going to take a while for all these little things to get ironed out.

[median wraith]

They do it for equalityTM

[fleet tangle]

I don't think it's intentionally sexist, though. It's just not fixed yet.

I'm going to assume that things are being slowly changed.

[regal pecan]

Pretty sure it was intentionally sexist when first implemented.

[median wraith]

Here for example if you are a woman you have extra 5 years of fiscal benefits up 35

[fleet tangle]

I don't think so, tbh. It was just unneeded.

Because men didn't change their name for that reason.

It's like saying it's sexist to not put a urinal in female toilet.

But now it's actually a thing, it should have caught up, yes.

[regal pecan]

A need created by tradition is distinguishable from a need created by mechanics.

Urinals save water and don't occupy as much space as a toilet. That's the only concrete reason for their existence I recall. A sitting urinal might be possible, but if it occupies as much space as a toilet...

[median wraith]

isn't a thing here at all

[fleet tangle]

Never seen one, tbh. It would solve a lot of issues if all toilets were unisex, urinals were done away with and everywere just had stalls.

I think in germany they want to get rid of urinals too, don't they?

And try to get guys to sit to pee.

[fathom wadi]

I think we need a vacuum pipe we can pee into. No splashback

[regal pecan]

I can't decide which one is more cursed.

[fleet tangle]

I can't see a woman using that in a shared space.

Exactly!

[regal pecan]

India has the perfect solution: A hole in the ground.

Squat over it. Done.

[fleet tangle]

To be honest, I think a lot of women would then also have an issue with the noises they make.

I've never known a guy to care.

[median wraith]

And yet still those aren't ready for people in wheelchair

[regal pecan]

Have to ask India that one.

Considering they were resistant to the introduction of the porcelain throne, it's either exceedingly rare to have bad knees in a country with no toilets, or they bring their own chairs to sit on, or someone has to sit on the floor.

A fold-out chair seems like a decent compromise.

[broken sigil]

That's... disturbing

[regal pecan]

Violating one of the most important tenets of urinal privacy in the process.

[broken sigil]

Oh that's even worse 😂

[regal pecan]

Is that in a stall?

[broken sigil]

Yeah I'm deleting my comment before it gets take out of context lol

[regal pecan]

marks
Reminds me. Dogs are equally proficient at this. Maybe there's potential for a lift-your-leg urinal. At least until ponkkis brings up bad knees again.

[fleet tangle]

It's a giant cat living with a slobbish girl.

[timber viper]

An anime where a cat is responsible, caring and dutiful meanwhile a human is like cat in our universes, i.e. lazy and clumsy

[fleet tangle]

Hilarity and cuteness ensue.

They've got an isekai about a vending machine... I'm not sure Japan needs more mind altering.

[timber viper]

Hey its not a weird or creepy anime

its just a bear-like cat helping his owner

[timber viper]

That also doesnt seem bad

Actually one of the most sense-making anime yet.

uv map from my nightmares

[tulip orbit]

if you wanna see scary UV maps, you should see any of the ones I do 😉

btw Luos, finally downloaded that noise/normal pack of yours, lots of great stuff in there, if only I knew how to use them 😄

[deep glen]

many uses for them.
printing em out and hanging em on your wall, showing it to friends, as a blend between textures/materials, uv distortions.

some of the smoother ones are nice for lighting effects

[tulip orbit]

lol. well I started trying to make a slime material for my slime creature, but it looks too glassy. Will need to experiment more, maybe not use translucent material

[deep glen]

subsurface scattering might be nice, also specular map can make it more or less glassy a bit as well

a little bit of fresnel + noise for edges might also give it a bit more blobby feel

[tulip orbit]

I think I was using translucent blend mode, so it doesnt have specular. I would like some transparency so I can put objects inside the slime 🙂

when I was testing I hadnt done mats in a long time so i forgot how to do lots, and I decided to put the material off for now until I finalize the mesh and animations

[deep glen]

if you set the translucency lighting mode to forwardshading or surface translucency volume you have access to spec/rough/metal/anistropy etc

[tulip orbit]

Hmm, that helped a lot thanks. I'll need to work on it more, but later when I can focus on it

I wonder

[zinc matrix]

when I close one eye, the strain immediately feels better. I have no idea what is wrong with Zeiss. It feels as if I'm constantly crossing my eyes

[median wraith]

Make sure you don't see chromatic aberration and such crap

maybe they didn't calibrate the center of the eye correctly

[fleet tangle]

Zeiss?

[clear dust]

Zeus's third cousin

[zinc matrix]

maybe. When the seller covered one eye and then the other and asked to look to a point. I looked slightly downwards

[median wraith]

glasses have a warranty and the can redo

you can go a check that with them

[clear dust]

often true, I got a pair last year that I didn't like, took them back a few days later with my receipt and got my $700 USD back

[zinc wagon]

700$ for glasses!? holy you're either got a marical glass that brought your sight back or you almost got scammed

[median wraith]

yeah is common here too

500€

[zinc wagon]

waw

[clear dust]

it was lenscrafters maybe? They put me in bifocals and I paid extra for having the smaller peripheral blur thingy or something

[zinc matrix]

I doubt it's misaligned center. I don't notice distortion.

[median wraith]

idk but my older glasses were way better than this ones I have now

and the bigger the glass in vertical the more distortions it have

I can see now the RGB channels split aberration at edges

with the old ones like in my profile image never had such crap

[zinc matrix]

between right and left eyes there is a difference of 0.5

[median wraith]

[zinc matrix]

-0.5

Honestly still don't get why so many games even have it enabled by default. I've not once heard anyone say they like it :/

[zinc wagon]

Because it cinematic and realistic

You're weird

Unless you're gaming with a really low frame rate that's where motion blur can actually look and feel good

[inland oriole]

Yesn't 😛

Opinion denied.

But without the jokes it's ok if you like it. But I just don't like that for some reason all games assume that the majority of people like motion blur and similar things. That's just simply not true.

[regal pecan]

Maybe it's not so bad with 30 fps and a controller

[zinc wagon]

yep that would make sense

but for pc it isnt super logical to have motion blur on honestly

[regal pecan]

Many people use controllers with PCs.

oh, this is new ? https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/cropout-casual-rts-game-sample-project

Seems like an interesting resource for the people

[tulip bison]

hmmmm, maybe some crops have both small and large leaves 🤔

[mossy nexus]

Yarp. Came out the other day.

[celest musk]

maybe thats why they dropped it as sample instead of finished game

[tulip bison]

I still need to download this and see how bad the controls actually are

[celest musk]

the art style looks cute tho

also the animations

@fossil finch maybe you can harness something from that sample`

[tulip bison]

My guess is that they asked the team working on it to add more leaves on the crops instead of refactoring the controls

[fossil finch]

that does look cute

thank you! @celest musk

[celest musk]

ah, so they got stuck when they had to decide if the leaves are big or small

[tulip bison]

exactly, I think the team was like ahh fck this is too much work lets just release it like this

[pearl elk]

Just remember guys, if you release an actual game instead of a sample then your code doesnt have to be pretty

[fossil finch]

perfect.

I will put everything on event tick from now on

[pearl elk]

What if I told you everything is already in event tick 😛

[fossil finch]

all is lost

[zinc wagon]

what if i told you event tick is not bad 😛

unless you have like a bunch of the same actors in the level then it can become a problem

[fossil finch]

especially casting in foreach loops on event tick is good

[zinc wagon]

yeah it's fine

[fossil finch]

ur fine

[zinc wagon]

no im being serious!

casts are fine unless the actor is not loaded

[pearl elk]

I found an instance where casts are not fine even when the actor is loaded lol

[zinc wagon]

that's the only downside of casts in bp. they force load actors and keep them alive

[zinc wagon]

yeah?

[fossil finch]

BTW
what i always wanted to know-

If i go through the effort of sending an interface to an actor, and get the info i want by sending it back-
is that as expensive as casting?

[pearl elk]

yup, gonna test with 5.3 tomorrow and it looks like I might be submitting a bug report for LoadObject lol

[unreal ether]

they're even better when you use 12 of them, iterating through actors in another level, that each have references to a unique data table with 200 meshes
that one hurt to type

[zinc wagon]

it's actually more expensive lol. but ever so slightly tho

[unreal ether]

always remember the cast is not really the issue, the hard reference to the type is

[zinc wagon]

that's why softpointers are great. they only load the actor when you need to

and the cast issue is not a problem in c++

[fossil finch]

fair

[unreal ether]

howeverit is also worth noting, that soft pointers will be useless if you want to reference something specific in the world. soft refs are only good for loading in completely new things :P

[fossil finch]

wait wut??
So if i make a hardreference variable that's just chillin-
it's a expensive af?

[zinc wagon]

btw do you have a timer set to a really low loop time? if so then that will be slower then using a regular tick 🙃

[zinc wagon]

yeah it stops GC from unloading stuff. just like python and JS

[pearl elk]

you can set tickrate anyways

[zinc wagon]

but you can still explicitly destroy an actor. objects tho need to be GCed

[zinc wagon]

assuming it will always be stable :)

[pearl elk]

objects with an active timer wont be GC'd 😛

[zinc wagon]

huh does the timer hold a reference to its creator? weird

[pearl elk]

yup it needs an owning object

[zinc wagon]

hey 🎵 coroutines 🎵 doesnt stop GC

[pearl elk]

cuz its assigned to that objects tick 😮

[fossil finch]

wats gc

[zinc wagon]

huh i didnt know that. i thought it used world tick. that's why you'd call it from UWorld in C++

[zinc wagon]

garbage collector. it's what deletes stuff if they're not referenced

[fossil finch]

oh

[zinc wagon]

btw actors are a special case cause they're always referenced by the level. that's why you can explicitly destroy them

[pearl elk]

What you think would happen if uworld called a delegate function that was null?

[zinc wagon]

but you cannot destroy objects. best thing you can do is to remove references to them and GC will handle it for you

[zinc wagon]

yeah fair point lol 😅

[pearl elk]

Honestly some things are easier done in tick tbh

[zinc wagon]

i mean it's there for a reason lol

but ticks can be bad if you have like hunderds of actors doing stuff in tick at once

in that case a "tick manager" would be ideal. or move you logic to be event based.

[pearl elk]

if(LastSlope != HitResult.Normal.Z && Math::Abs(LastSlope - HitResult.Normal.Z) > 0.015f)
{
    float Direction = VelocityNormal.DotProduct(HitResult.Normal);

    float temp = Math::Abs(HitResult.Normal.Z + Direction);
    CharacterMovement.MaxWalkSpeed = (temp) * DefaultWalkingSpeed;

    LastSlope = HitResult.Normal.Z;
    System::DrawDebugPoint(HitResult.Location, 10, FLinearColor(1.00, 0.62, 0.04),15);
}
else
{
    CharacterMovement.MaxWalkSpeed = MaxWalkSpeedAccumulated;
}

tada, I do this is tick 😛

but I cheat by comparing LastSlope so I only recalc when I need to

[zinc wagon]

LastSlope != HitResult.Normal.Z && Math::Abs(LastSlope - HitResult.Normal.Z) > 0.015f you dont need to do the first check unless im missing something 🤔

oh wait nvm lol

[tulip bison]

I think today I’m going to learn how to create a delegate, I know how to bind to delegates that already exist in the class like “onbeginoverlap” etc but I haven’t created one yet.

[zinc wagon]

for non dynamic TDelegate and TMulticastDelegate is enough. if you want bp visibility then you'll need macros

[tulip bison]

ok thanks ill bear that in mind, that reminds me tho, I have no idea why it would be dynamic or not… another thing to learn

[zinc wagon]

why would i take it back? i was in support for coroutines lmao

[tulip bison]

well that wasnt so difficult haha

[zinc wagon]

ah my bad i shall never compare your babies to those peasant timer handles lol

[tulip bison]

so I mean, am I better to just create all delegates as dynamic just incase I ever want to use them in bp aswell ?

[zinc wagon]

yeah the performance increase is negligible for the most part (eg if only used once per tick)

[tulip bison]

so a non dynamic delegate is slightly more performant ?

[zinc wagon]

yeah cause it needs to cross the bp VM bridge which is the slow part

[pearl elk]

Yeah C++ early out

[zinc wagon]

actually niyo did a comparison a while ago #cpp message

[zinc wagon]

yeah i though you used Math::Abs(LastSlope - HitResult.Normal.Z) to check if their close enough. didnt see you were checking if they're greater than 0.15 😅

[tulip bison]

thats good to know, I am trying to do as little in BP as possible tbh for this learning project so its nice to know the advantages/disadvantages of each. I can atleast use the right one where its needed now if I have no plans to ever expose it to BP.

[zinc wagon]

yep that's a great way to learn c++ with unreal. of course assuming you already know a fair bit of "raw" cpp

[median wraith]

I will try to play with that later today, lets see how it does

[median wraith]

Everything to the tick, that's the way, that way the game cannot get old if is updated each ms

yeah you can

[pearl elk]

Are you working on a 30 fps console game?

My fps too high, must slow it down

[median wraith]

I have played Satisfactory at 30fps

That's a true next gen exp once you race against a friend

[tulip bison]

I didn’t know much last month but I know enough now thanks to everyone here to get some stuff done with unreal c++ 😊

too much of the wrong kind of anime 😉

[timber viper]

It was Mob Psycho S1E10

[tulip orbit]

I should start being productive too tho 😦 Made a slime enemy and best I can tell, I'm gonna need to make a custom movement thing so it hops from one location to another instead of just moving

[timber viper]

Character->Launch(ForwardVector.X * 300, ForwardVector.Y * 300, ForwardVector.Z + 300); done

[tulip orbit]

well, sorta. I made a hopping animation, but with character movement component, it slides on the ground in the windup/landing

[soft night]

i seems ot watch some jaws

[tulip orbit]

hmm, no... like the slimes in stardew valley. They have a wind up, then hop over to a spot and land, then wind up and hop to the next spot. Not on a grid but with the nav system

either I tell it can only move during the hop phase, or do something else

[carmine frigate]

its pretty close to a bouncing ball... if you never animated that you learned animation wrong 😛

and than u might wunna add somesort of vertex offset shader it make it jelly like when it lands

[tulip orbit]

I've got a decent animation, but tying it into the character movement is where I'm having issues. I dunno how to describe in text, but frames 1-10 its getting ready to hop, and 40-48 its landing, so it shouldnt be moving during those frames, but with the CMC, it continues sliding along the ground

[tulip orbit]

😄 some of that is built into the anim, but I also added some jelly jiggle with a spring node in the animbp, it looks good

[carmine frigate]

have it not move and use root motion

[tulip orbit]

I tried that, but blender adds an extra root bone, and it looks like I have to modify a .py script. Probably be worth doing that

just gonna finish up this day in stardewvalley then I will try the root motion thing

[carmine frigate]

its a slime... everything is fullbody 😛

[tulip orbit]

if I play a montage, how/where to call tho? get the nav path and point it in the right direction then play montage?
