Discord battle pass
Can't wait to unlock my premium skins on the battlepass
we'll always be slackers at heart
here we go, now unreal slackers stock market will drop due to the changes, i think i saw that somewhere recently /s
I miss the old logo :/
let it be known that Zomg was the first memer
guess I'll use this opportunity to stop slacking and start developing...
welp
Oo a ping.
New logo doesn't look like it has anything to do with Unreal any more?
finally a dedicated server to discuss unreal source code
Except the big ol' U
you can... once then your banned
There was a ping?
I'm already getting weaning symptoms.
Understandable to change logos if there's even any inkling of money involved
@bronze axle Im an artist, want me to design a new logo for you?
OK so I need all the secret codes to make my game better. Go!
I'm having slackers withdrawal
He's pfishing for our emails!
unreal engine and source engine are merging into one omega engine
yes, lets all go around and discuss our favorite functions
finally a thermometer logo that reflects spicy takes here?
The U that you almost can't see because it's hidden in a... power button? Floppy disk icon?
All hail Gabe Sweeney
Ultra Instinct Engine
+1
That's why the Icon is a U with an I in it
new logo
KeBugCheckEx if you're feeling extra cool
that is no U 😛
but is half life 3 confirmed now?
WOW YOUR MONITIZING US???
Website changes are gonna be cool
do we get a %?????
that is like the save icon on fourth party apps 😛
just you, specifically
If we're not Slackers anymore, what are we? Sourcerers?
if your running thingsd
no more slacking 😄
im still slacking
unreal sdk 2013 sp
Every month, whoever posts the most gets the bill
I was going to say "well looks like I need to actually get back to work" but turns out I have been working without knowing!
heck yeah wizards
were... sour researchers
scouts
@bronze axle I am a member!! when do i get paid??
Unreal Sour CE 😂
Sorry @sand oxide, time to pay up 🫰
RIP unreal engine COMMUNITY
Ngl sorcerers fit well with a certain wizard themed person in this discord :P
Winner

what is UE pulling a unity move on its discord?
Wizard themed person?
no
pfist is busy, theyre a web dev now ✨
I sure hope the mods are gonna get a slice of the pie if there's gonna be paid channels and money made 🤔
you all dropped the ball severly. ALL of you should have applied to be mods, now your literally paying for it
🔪 
Imagine launching a revamp to get harassed by Owninator
This was never an official UE server, as in managed by Epic
So, what are we funding and why?

@hybrid scarab This discord is not affiliated with Epic
It's like Unreal Slackers was told no more hoodies and you have to wear business casual now
you can't literally be hi for no reason
I am a paid member of unreal source 🙂
I will remember. ❤️
waiting for my paycheck
Can we fund me
@slate drift hello how ya doing? 👋 just wanted to check on ya
Hahaha I would like the icon to have a wizard and a witch in it
To be honest, actually unbelievable considering how big of a hub this place has become
No worries. Still independent and community operated. 🙂
in a good way
Where'd he go anyways
UE is not open source tho
Become a member, help pfist never work again 😂
It's like Unreal Source for help
but you want a paycheck from it
Exactly. It's unreal that it's *source available
So what exactly we're funding and why?
Not happy with the naming/icon change 
Imagine not reading the announcement
UE is Open Access 🙂
Someone needs to feed em

Quick! We have to get the Youtubers in on this! "Procrastinating developers outraged over an icon and name change"
If it gets you more hamsters let's goooo
@brittle holly uneal is source available not open sourced
if you want source you come see... US.
Liked the colors and website but new logo looks like fried egg from a distance
Everyone is self-interested. Get over it. I, personally, would love to see an epicenter for cool community creations for inspo
i heard gerbils are more efficient
Aaaah ok
I'm not going to lie. I can't see the point
@bronze axle mandates all users pay 00.01 cents for all admin and moderator pings.
This change is retroactive, including all previous pings.
Please understand.
It's like words can have multiple meanings
irony
I thought the Discord servers was just some woman named Cassandra

lounge will be converted to a commissary
returvn to RSS
i understand 🔪
Is this new name change, retroactive ? 😂
No, it's going to become #living-room
member-only channels will be public to view and private to post? or private to view aswell
fuck that, I'm going to my #bedroom
That's exactly why the server isn't called unreal engine source
indistinguishable anyway
#lounge is becoming #water-cooler. No more sweatpants and hoodies! Everyone has to be business casual!
Rename #programmer-hangout to #rust-dev
they better be paying out half of the profits to laura
just dont mention rider
LauraCCP is now created as channel thanks for your input
I flex on everyone with my use of pointers (unreal forces me and I don’t know why they are helpful)
there is no offtopic channel ? is there ? 😛
You're in it.
27 on speach channels wow
welcome!
I thought it was Lounge Source.
lmao DALL-E thinks the new logo a thermometer

Unreal source is too professional
Name bad
Are you saying it's not meant to be a thermometer?
Can someone explain what a "Slacker" is
/verify
i'd have called this place unreal concourse or something
Slackers was sick. We weren't actually slackers and we're game devs. It was cheeky
when your thermometer runs that high, that is when you need help from slackers

Literally that or a thermostat xD
unreal nexus
genuinley have no clue how pointers work i just put random unicode symbols infront of the variable name until the compiler is happy
haha... remember when 27k members was big?
I think the name comes from the fact the community originated in Slack
bunch of good ones that don't sound like something already established
Now for real, let's work on a new icon pls 🥺
this is the way
One that shines like the old
We could be Unreal Deconfusers.
i legit thought it was at first look. now im not sure what it is
Unreal Slackers 2: Electric Boogalo
could do "Community For Engines That Don't Have A Per Install Fee" but Unreal Source is more catchy tbh
Trying to post on the Job Board but it says read instructions... Where are the instructions?
I forgot this is basically this server general chat was trying to find it oof
Ayyy Doga is here 👋
and doesnt look like a PP or a 🌡️
how big is unreal slackers? i dont know where to check that unless i scroll down 25k online users
I have absolutely 0 clue what it's meant to be if it's not a thermometer.
Right here: #instructions
Almost 100k
where my lumberyardsisters
wen they imlempent nantie

almost 100k
hugs @charred shadow
sheeeiiiiii damn
ive been shitposting in front of 100k people?
i guess that's why i don't get any call backs to my job interviews
Pfist activated patreon for discord
is nanite like actually useful tho
THE NEW LOGO IS BAD IT LOOKS LIKE AN IPAD ICON FROM 2011
all the high poly games like scorn and such dont use it
unreal engine obsolete gpu only gaussian splatting engine on the way
oops caps
Who needs coroutines when you're like me and too dumb to use them
ounce of optimization vs a pound of tech
Damn this logo is controversial
I dont agree with any of this
It's not that deep people!
I never liked the old logo
in fact its very flat cuppa 😄
If we pay $50, will we get shameless self promotion perk on server?
FLOPS matter 😈
doesnt that just make your images "3d"? afaik it isnt a new rendering method
/imagine a new logo for this server, whatever.
$50 a week to Laura to push the "make game" button for everyone.
@clyde What do you think about these new changes, AI friend
Pfist gets nothing. Mwahahhahahha.
I dont even remember what the old logo was anymore
the rule ignoring perk? there's plenty of places where you can self promote as long as you follow the rules 🙂
for subscribing members yes you can pay
I just remember it was orange
glad I wasnt the only one with doodoo memory
you can self promote here, only once though
this is like valve and the orange box all over again
ohh thats why finger A --> B works 😂 I need a make game button too
looks pretty fucking sick imo (minus the AI artifacts)
I keep spamming it but go into plaid and the game breaks.
So that's what the orange in the new logo signifies!
It all makes sense
Unreal & Source
that U is just so ever slightly wonky it;s unsettling
How did u do this
oh I better remove all my feet pictures posts then
Where is the #source2 channel
so.. we aint slacking anymore?
wait let me save them to my computer
NO SLACKING ALLOWED
nope, back to work!
Only source code now
still better than X, RIP twitter
now everyone is required to use live coding
i drew it with pen and paper
I guess it's time to go back to my MANAGED C# CODE @broken sigil!
||i used AI||
I liek my reloads hot
friendly reminder that c# in a packaged game is BANNED by unreal's EULA and TOS
(that one is true)
wut
wut
wut
see: code orchestra
you'd probably love ww2 a lot of older machine guns. you even reload the barrel on those babies
That isn't true at all. That is not what killed the Mono team's efforts
Good thing I only sling blueprints then.
They changed the EULA saying that language implementations had to be under an open source licence
I cant even identify what is is, might be an UFO
.net is open source..
The old name lives on in voice chat.
Yes but the Mono implementation wasn't, and it was pre-MS acquisition
I don't often sharp my Cs, but when I do I make them razors.
Congrats pfist 🙂
mono is open source
So you mean if you release a game with support to make add-ons with LUA it needs to be open source orrr
Did u guys see the alien corpse that Mexico claims to have identified?
maybe you mean some specific unreal mono thing
Yes but the Unreal implementation wasn't
that was a hoax
They wanted to monetise it
not mono itself
And they were blocked by the EULA
Or that’s what the aliens want us to think 👽
ah thx
Was this part always empty? The background section
Now we'll get wonderful Verse
still not sure why they haven't gone with a C# wrapper
nope it was the old logo. now it's just...void
I think it's peaceful
me too! i guess they're just too much of a cpp fans
my stds are never void /itches
oh speaking of, the dude made a discord if you wanna join?
no matching operator
Hopefully that isn't referring to that transpiler. A C# implementation with literally 0 benefits
since its the only real unreal discord why dont they just negotiate to use the offical logo <_<
TBH I've seen next to no community-implemented stuff like this work out for other platforms, not sure why people would adopt it now
There are always major drawbacks/implementation issues that keep people away from trying to adopt them
sorry what
C# VM would likely compete with BP VM for resources.
@dusky kettle hi 👋
remove bp, solved
oh hey Olsson, I know you 😄
this is way too under the hood stuff for me, i just want to make pretty lighting
so are we getting cake or what?

no? what makes you think that?
VM programs already compete with their virtual machine for cache?
uhhh not exactly
no but also c# can be compiled down to native binary
My body is ready to be proven thoroughly wrong.

but where will I get the thrills of poking memory addresses when the kismet compiler shits itself

you gotta walk the talk before you run the fun
Yea my bp does ok just sitting still. It's just the one print string on event tick with a delay so bbrrrrrrr all day really.

Genuine Roslyn Bug ™️
I'm sure this Roslyn lady is super nice but nothing can compare with a blueprint graph so large that the editor can't render it at 60fps anymore
Oh, it was renamed #969360633386655744 too
I never did ue3. I only know kismet by it's remains
ikr
I only know Kismet because sometimes things have K in front of them and I don't know why
Kismet in UE3 was like using GIMP compered to kismet 2 being like photoshop
I honestly don't know what Kismet was and I'm afraid to ask
it was the first blueprint
same as blueprints but looked like arse
How does it relate to UnrealScript
It's a thing you don't have to worry about it.
and it's guts are still in there kind of
like blueprint is compiled with the "kismet compiler"
It's a think of the past, like memory management, and C++ /s
unrealscript was a class based coding script language based on C++ and almost like Unreal C++
wrong, kismet is a MTG card, first and foremost 😄
until it fails on you and you're stuck spelunking through engine internals to recover some big hairy blueprint because you looked at it wrong
that is quantum physics for you
its more like ancient runes
observer definitely affects the observed
All I'm asking, and I've asked this many times before, bring back the raptor sprite as a default icon again thx
Shave your hairy blueprints then. Put some conditioner on them. Let it soak for 5 mins to get smooth silky hair.
mmmm
that sounds like real experience.... ._.
did u know for each loop with break node in blueprint has a blueprint inside and its fugly?
its a macro, sure... lol
Marc… you’re alive!
but it does loop and can break
I'm always alive, much to the universe's dismay
no, it was legitimately debunked as a hoax, IIRC it was even admitted to be a hoax by the hoaxer, this is public information now, don't just take it from the twitter community note 😂
nice hoax hahaha
how does it happen
Slackers voice chat... I mean Sourcers voice chat... is busy tonight
master papier maché job right there
it what I tell my wife it is instead of X Premium
it's called Slackers tyvm 😛
also working on convincing her that only fans tv is NOT PORN its MTV contending levels of reality tv
And may it remain so
a twit around here means... dumb, and a twitter is....
Hello mr mod 3lines halfsteam symbol
Im too old for new names and stuff
Sounds like the aliens are behind all this tbh
king among twits 😂
close, lizard people
even you could be one and not know it, wake up sheeple
imagine, aliens hoaxing to get the heat off them ... woooooo next level
The Zucc bought Unreal Slackers x.x
My dad, Mr Gaben Newell, said he wants to talk about this new name
what kind of user name is that ? did you design the logo ? 😂
I've already e-mailed him about this affair
he told me in the half life alyx dev commentary that I could email him whenever I wanted with whatever thoughts I had, and he even gave ME his email
im not at liberty to reveal it though apologies
is pfist an alien who is interested in my data though
They're using the channel to train AI.. can I say this is a BAD idea ? 😛
hmmm, bots being dumb, brb
thats going to be one dumb ai
rofls
"Don't post your code on github! They'll train AI on it!"
I don't post my code on github so the AI won't break
:question: is pfist an alien who is interested in my data?
:8ball: As I see it, yes.
Fingers crossed for Laura-trained AI
i knew it!
too bad i hid my anime list somewhere else
yea i hate it when my roomba is eating all the cat food
We already live in a world where your hard work is someone elses profits so nothing new right
ok ok its slowing down... time to change the channel and logo again !
Unreal Slackers -> Unreal Source -> Unreal Source 2 -> Source 2
It's a slippery slope we're on
lets call it ... Y
there is a real thing called HammUEr
or Z is more badass
Z up
listen here, i absolutely love selling all of my time and labor and value at an extreme deficit so someone else can reap the overwhelming benefits of my value and not me
Real bold of Slim to assume that I get paid
strangest thing is ... someone reaps the overwhelming benefits from my actual birth ._.
I only accept compensation in the form of Exposure Bucks
Was browsing the UE subreddit, and something about a big orange icon just screams quality and professionalism
I really feel like there used to be a lot more cool stuff on the subreddit

oh is this the new members perks?

Maybe idk. Just showing off the badge haha 😆
It more or less went to kapoot because they disabled videos.
No. I use Umami privacy-focused analytics and nothing else.
that's exactly what an alien who wants my data would tell
Yeah, they really kinda ruined it
It's really great. Easy to set up and update, and performance has been wonderful.
The UI is nice and simple, easy to read and manage.
oh umami is a thing? I thought pfist was making some kind of umami flavor food joke. with having a dino icon and all
Honestly hope a replacement comes. It's been dead since protest.
Maybe the new UE Slackers...
good to hear. I'm slowly whittling away at the business users who think we "need" GA
pfist, where's the new Unreal subreddit
(we definitely don't)
GA?
Google analytics
Ahh
my mission has been helped by GA4 being fucking weird
i wonder if there will be any future added resistance in google analytics once the squarespace domain transfer goes through fully
Question w.r.t. the server's incoming revenue; considering there is no meaningful maintenance cost, I assume the vast majority of income will go straight to the people running this server. Will it actually be distributed across the team, including its moderators? If not, who will the income be going to?
actually 100% of his proceeds will go to funding zbrush core mini
My only comment is that Unreal Source is confusing because both words in the name are well-known gaming engines
That's all ok bye 
There are maintenance costs. Afaik those currently got paid through mega grants, but the aim is to have financial independence to ensure Unreal Source can stay an independent party from Epic.
🙂
What maintenance costs are there? The core of this platform is this Discord community, which doesn't need to be paid for, no?
why do you hate blender
What is your name
are you going to the premiere of the movie made in blender?
he actually deleted it 🫠
Mippi
whatever way you slice it
I don't have enough time to explain that, the heat death of the sun will occur within the next several billion years
I can't imagine that being more than a few tenners a month though, so that's quickly covered
you're on an unreal engine discord server, you're not allowed to have opinion on what software sucks and which doesn't
To be clear, I'm all for people being paid. I just think transparency is pretty important when you're asking a community for financial support
lol yes
sooo desu ka?
....
i tried
dont lol

most of that is true
what does the kanji with the shield and hammer mean? Valiant Builder?
I don't like blender so I got Maya and Max now and I hope I hate them slightly less

I also have zbrush now too but haven't even opened it yet
yeah dude Madagascar was made with max EWW
the only few tools that are dope are Zbrush, Houdini, Mari
The work involves writing, research, curation, web development, and paying for services such as servers, transactional email, forms, etc. I'm also doing this independently, without Substack or Patreon, because it's something I believe in and want to try. I want more of the internet to be independent & ad-free.
But zbrush looks nice. It looks like sculpting clay and that's fun
i wonder if in 10-15 years humanity will advance far enough for us to finally produce a decent piece of software
I use all the other tools too, but i have infinite complaints about each of them lol
I've been trying to get my bf to learn Houdini
And to not have my readers surprised by popups asking them to subscribe, that I didn't put there.
Because I'm too busy doing literally everything else
houdini is amazing and all but wont unreal and most free DCC overlap with a lot of houdini in the next few years?
gets banned
So to read between the lines - the moderation team here will not be sharing in whatever income might come through? I'm focusing on that one specifically because it's the one thing I've over the years thought would be worth supporting this community for.
Lightwave > Houdini
also tomorrow too
A purpose built tool is usually better than something that does everything
what's that
UVing and good? Is that possible?
yea, suprisingly
Yess, no payment. We took this stuff up voluntarily. You can see it as supporting the website part of the Unreal Source platform, which has some pokes into the Discord part and vice versa, but the Discord will just roll on as usual.
nope substance painter only for uvs
That's just what I use. Thanks to a Russian Monk
we do not say his name
you're toxic
just don't put the uvs into the mesh and let the shader figure it out
I'll try Rizom if they have a .edu 'free for students' thing
rizom has a great license model
subscription until you reach the amount to own it
then you own it
so it's like a rent to own type of thing
I thought you set the UVs of the mesh manually in the shader?
i do my attribute editing in spreadsheet format lol
no, the uvs are given to the shader like the rest of the mesh data
it was a bad triplanar everything joke
I know what a UV is, but I have no idea what a UV is
most don't in fairness lol
I really need to powerlevel graphic programming for like a straight month or two
it's just a buzz word people use to describe making 3d things 2d things, but attribute data is powerful
UV's are like effort levels in pokemon. a completely invisible attribute
and learning about it unlocks so many tech art things
uvs are xy coordinates for textures.
i want to correct that answer
A UV is the foil from a santa chocolate
but for most people that's a good enough answer lol
but you can do much more stuff with them
yeah like pack them and ???
everyone on twitter manually packs their islands. if you don't your not cool nor do you know what UVs are
i store relationship float data in additional UV channels since unreal doesn't like dealing with custom attribute data cleanly yet
according to twitter of course
uvs are vertex attributes like the position and normal or color, they get interpolated between vertices and are usually used for textures
i usually use vertex colors to store additional mesh info
how about quixel mixer? isnt that owned by epic and runs on Unity? 🙂
sure but it's not doing your UVs in substance painter lol
I still want that easy arbitrary mesh attribute import / readout feature. UE6, please?
geometry script has these capabilities already
I remember when Quixel was a Photoshop plugin that was overshadowed by Substance Painter/Designer, how quickly things change
but they aren't fleshed out yet
mostly UX issues
you can write and read custom attribute data with it
I liked quixel mixer... but it kept asking me if im a robot... and somehow i had a hard time convince it otherwize
so i dont use it anymore
right, you mentioned it the other day gonna have to look into it
ue6 should get rid of all the bloat
The new logo is kind of bad
doesn't evoke unreal to me at all, I don't even see a U I see like, I don't know, a floppy disk ?
like texture support
but, because FBX importing is still dumb dumb, USD will likely be the format that's more robust to bring in custom attribute data correctly
UE6 is going to lean into pathtracing hard I bet
The U needs the Flanges
or an editor
datasmith as well
everytime i booted up megascan stuff i had to do the captcha thing on epic launcher... it was horrible
.bgeo support pretty please
When will an AI be developed to unwrap UVs
but that's not fun
I have been asking myself that for a long time now
any day now
you don't reallly need AI for that tbh, the algo to do this is so simple, that making ai do it won't really add value
however ai weight painting for rig weighting would be nice
blender already has a fine tool to do uv unwraps
or even retopo ai could be interesting
is there a "make perfect UVs" button already?
fuck blender, use Rizom
hey blender doesnt think im a robot
that's cuz you are a robot
ai weight painting would compel me to actually use skeletal meshes
I luckily don't need to do that part of the pipeline anymore so I'm not really up to date on it
Just put a splash screen "Pretend this looks better"
like including a "hide the seams from this viewpoint" yada yada
Project from view and never move the object or camera
also, if you're a houdini user, Rizom directly hooks into it, and you can proceduralize the UV creation too
If you only ever use dev art, no one can complain about your final art
using Rizom but within Houdini
already exists, it's called the "made in unity" splash screen
Exciting changes!
yeah i've seen the node! gonna look into rizom I guess. that license model does sound nice
the new branding is kind of bad though
"but who's the sourcer?"
"unreal source" already exists and it's hosted by epic on GitHub
I think Elon just does not care 😛 different
why not call it unreal bloop blopp bloop?
omfg I can't believe it's 8 years already 😮 😅
I love when people bring up stuff we thought about a million times over and think it's a revelation lol
cue in tons of new ex-Unity devs asking us where is the download button 😂
While it's certainly not great for SEO I get the name
Perhaps Unreal Hub would be good for search rankings?
Though I do like the new name much better
ngl though the group icon can be redesigned
No but you see they said it again!
you really thought about some things a million times ? the headache I feel a lot of compassion 😄
I have a feeling Unreal Hub already exists
we have small brains, but they are hyper active
Not as far as I can see at least
so, I take it you guys don't like the fried egg with a design look icon, eh? 😏
it's OK
I don't think you can generalize on human brains activity 😂
I am more excited about the other changes!
Something about it is just kinda 'off'
icon's not a big deal lol
i can because my brain is small enough
you speak as if you're one of those brain plasticity survivors ? 🙂
the name is only confusing if you want it to be, the logo is maybe slightly confusing. but the rest of the changes are really really cool and in a few weeks we'll all have gotten used to the new name and logo and nobody will care anymore because we're getting spoiled with epic office hours
leave my fried egg logo alone!
I think it's the background behind the egg that throws me off
I knew you designed it ! when you drew you username 😄
i didn't though lol
kidding hehehe
hehe
nity
Unreal Discorders
*gritty
Unrealators
Unrealtors - property prices you can't beat!
it's not like i care much about the change since I'm rarely here
Light mode 😔
but i think it could've been better
I don't understand how yall do it
Ha. Yea I've been telling Unity devs to go to slackers the last 2 weeks. Oops.
very bright
Unreal Discorders yes
Much better
the discord ui has clearly been designed with dark mode in mind
also many role colors/custom emotes assume you have dark mode
Just call it Unreal LineTracers and make everyone think it's an art forum
just don't use UVs
that is very true
I three enjoy triplanar 🙂
polygons are basically free, just vertex paint for macro texture if you want
Discords ui designer was just chatgpt let loose in Figma
I eat triplanar for breakfast
We've found a cool art style that uses triplanar / projected textures for big things and just solid colors and vertex paint shenanigans for little things
ai would've done a better job, especially with the performance
discord sometimes takes 2x more ram than my IDE
did you meant *tripe *lanar for breakfast? 😁
and is always laggy
✨ Chromium ✨
My favorite discord feature is that it has no idea who is in a server half the time
i dont understand why you guys use a app with a builtin browser instead of your normal browser for discord in the first place
the art of banana peeling is triplanarian
is wordpad+ your ide?
no it's visual studio
wait you aren't talking about notepad++
I use Rider because I bought this ram to use it, not to save it
what is a WordPad+ and do i even want to know
I bought ram because I was using Rider
nevermind
It said it could only spin up x processes cuz ram, and I took that personally
My biggest mistake was going 32gb instead of 64gb
ram is cheap now
I'm writing my own text editor now because I'm unhappy with pretty much all of them
mine was getting 64 instead of 128
yeah some days I try to fill up my 64 gib, never managed it lol
it halved in price in like a year\
Approved
Slack is even worse
a console application taking 200mb of ram is kind of sad
an OS taking 15-20% of VRAM is even sadder 😦
makes you wonder :
my discord is taking 1.5 gb... why
tell me how you reduced it to 500 mb 😂
have a good day/night everyone 👋
discords memory usage changes a lot for no good reason
1.5 GB 😮
oh no
Idk what 'it' is, but it's sure doing a lot of 'it'
uhm, whats up with the server name/icon?
Bought out by the Zucc /s
Its a pun ... Unreal Sour CE 😮
if that was the case, I bet it would be something like X-real or Unreal Xers or smth
you confuse your UFC fighters 😂
no that was elon musk
Check announcements
There is an ongoing coup
🤦♂️
Not a day goes by that I don't miss CE's #level-design rants 😔
sorry ... it's late here 😬
I didnt talk to him for a while
He is too busy though, kinda afraid to write
Fair enough. Never heard much since he left.
I guess all the environment art posts drove him crazy :P
They banned sweatpants and hoodies. You have to be dressed business casual to post here now
Something something synergy
Turns out he had an argument with a mod
Source? :p
Oh really?
I didnt know either
I thought he left because of graphics
Learned waaay after he left
Why, you didnt like CE? 😄
Oh damn. Guess we won't be seeing him back then 😆
We tweet occasionally
Pretty sure we wont
For a long time
Poor CE just wanted to teach level design
Dunno why he fought with a mod
humble man
Any idea if Unreal Source is keeping the legacy lore from Slackers?
god, pretty sure thats a no
I also found interesting no one wanted to learn anything when there is a badass LD expert giving out free wisdom
I was taking every opportunity to learn
I think he was a pretty decent dev
He's a god like
He has Laura's programming wisdom in LD
Me too. I absorbed that for my own projects 😆
CE is like 100% of my LD knowledge
I wasnt hanging out much at lounge so wont be able to comment
I saw him tons of times while arguing though
What's CE stand for?
discord = basically for arguing, so are forums in a way
CranzEstebogen
he was one of the few in #animation that wasnt complete n00b 😛
didnt know that
he had good enough programming knowledge too, not experience but knowledge
yea did some custom controll rig stuff
was able to prototype whatever he wants
Never noticed him there. Though I do like to pretend animation doesn't exist so it can't hurt me anymore
So that's probably why
you arent confusing with hoodie right
he was the animation guy
not CE
ow, mayB i am
Hoodie = Makoto?
yes
makoto is doing tech-art stuff these days I guess.. on nfsw studios xD
Praising ue5 for the animation features
not for safe work?
yes
Yep. You're only allowed to play the games in dangerous work environments like high rise construction, or in a CDC lab.
whats a cdc lab
eehhiiin ?¿ isn't it nsfw ?
it is
centrum disease controll
i made a typo
where zombies come from
rofl
why?
Centre for Disease Control.
They basically have samples of all the diseases.
interesting, where can I find such place? asking for a friend
The CDC invents all the diseases, that's why they're called disease. If they don't come the CDC, they're just sparkling sickness
Imma grab my tinfoil hat rq
In Atlanta! Because of Malaria outbreaks after WW2
I learned this yesterday so I have to share
all game developers in the last 20 years are currently in shock

too bad I cant get a visa
I can't believe the rain doesn't simulate across the whole world.
Can't even have my realistic weather patterns 😔
I saw that and thought "yeah, that looks like something I'd do"
sacrifices have to be made
yeah lol
Pretty much every game does something similar
Oh, I just meant stick it to the character instead of the camera
im fairly sure the cyberpunk rain is a shader effect on a flat plane
with the new name of this discord server does it require 200 gb disk space and about an hour to compile in order to join?
I kind of liked the old name more, to be honest. It was cheeky. Probably had better SEO too.
Hi, I'm looking for the Unreal Source
in case no one made this yet
@broken sigil
LOL
Damn those goth clowns.
Yeah, I'm confused about how the paid membership perks work. Is the perks for discord or for the website or for something else?
What does exclusive content mean?
pfist nudes
OnlyUnrealFans
Exactly
There was mention of paid-only channels. That's content, right?
VIP club or whatever.
@proud jay Are you learning Italian on Duolingo
I'm all up for @broken sigil explaining CPP with only a robe 😏
(was this joke already made? Sorry, I am late to the party)
Hope this helps clarify things. https://unrealsource.com/members/
what the hell happened here?
So so much
what's this about ads? do you plan to introduce them? and keep it ad-free for members only?
that would be... not good
No no, there will not be ads, but some content will be vip only
Nah I don't think so
gotcha, thanks!
I think the whole thing will become more tutorial oriented
Nothing we can do about this anyways 🤷
I know, I know
I am strongly against ads, which is a big motivator behind the paid membership on the website.
I want to keep what I do there, and what we do here on Discord, independent and ad-free. I could have easily chosen to monetize with ads, sponsored content, affiliate links, etc. But I am tired of the internet being filled with that stuff.
So I don't want to contribute.
I like reader-supported publications, so that's what I'm trying to create. I think the web is better when people are paid by those they serve instead of some faceless ad network.
If you have any other questions about the website, feel free to ask. 🙂
What type of content people will be paying for, in articles?
UE tricks? news? what will make it special?
Why would I?
saw a Dieter on Duolingo
I did swedish like 5 years ago
But never italian
There’s more than one Dieter in the world apparently
stop
I hope it was with a woman, since you hate men
I legit didn't realise the new server icon was supposed to be a U until I read it on a thread in #969360633386655744
I thought it was like the face of a robot like in portal 2 or something
I thought it was a match
wait, does this mean I have to update my blog to no longer mention slackers
rip, the invite link to this discord I mentioned is at least no longer valid
it means we're not allowed to slack off, period
my blog is just history now
I will update my blog for 5% of the incoming subscription money
or I can change the model to 20 cents per page load
whichever pfist prefers
hmm Unreal Source kinda basic name
idk i just don't like it
there got to be a better name
Dieter's Discord?
Lamp trying to be DIO
Dead Inside Online
Id play that
Wait, i already am
The abyss said it needed some space
🥁
That sounds suspiciously like something an alien pretending to be human would say
ok, but an alien that went on a date though
Damn, they have time traveling too???
Also i hate the new logo, it looks bad
But i like the changes
it somehow feels more generic
It'd be nice if learning unreal had a hub and was no longer fucking folklore
but maybe it's cause it's new
@bronze axle question, have you considered maintaining a sort of "repository" of tutorials that learners could use to easily get started with unreal? Like it doesn't have to be curated, just a "here's a platform where content creators can submit their tutorial series"
damn, I just bought some noise cancelling headphones for woodworking, barely even hear the cars pass by
Which brand/model?
epic already has this?
I was talking more about community created tutorials
well, not really headphones lol, just hearing protectors, but they're 3M Peltor optime III
The epic forums are a bit hard to navigate when it comes to those
you can literally click new tutorial in the top right
Ah, okay. I just thought I never had experienced any headphones getting that effective, lol
my normal headphones are quite good too though
Sennheiser Momentum 4
and they're a lot more comfortable than hearing protection 😆
it doesn't try to squeeze your head
..... I know, i meant like the stuff people already have made over the years, it'd be nice to have them in one consolidated place
Like for example i once found a tutorial to do iridescent mats
And i found it buried deep inside epic forums
Yeah, some headphones really squeezing, but what I found airpods max are the opposite. It is too loose even I dont extend the bands...
The noise cancelling is decent though
It'd be nice if those things were easier to find. Im not saying pfist needs to go hunting, they could just have an open invitation for creators and they could just submit their videos
Yeah, that's something to consider
I forgot people would try to game the system the moment they could
Sigh
maybe also a bit strange to put community creations on a site that you can pay for?
idk
The site is free for the most part, is it not? Its just certain sections that need paid membership. Atleast thats what i took from the announcements
yes
but still you're using other's creations to more or less market your sub thing
lol I was sitting on the toilet and thinking, damn the postman could be here with my package any second
and I was done and suddenly got an email my package was delivered lol
he didn't even ring the bell
Eh that's not really a problem in my eyes if both parties are okay with it, the real problem imo is what cuppa said, people would flood the website with submissions to try and grow their channels
Sigh
also my mat looks like it says hell
I didn't know you lived in mordor
me neither
Plot twist: that isn't Dieter's mat and he's just out stealing Amazon packages
waddup my fellow sourcey developers
I will only refer to us as Sourcerers
Please, I'm already sucked into Baldur's Gate 3, I don't need to throw in the Divinity games as well
You would think that little arrow would hold it but no
Just use the hamburger icon discord ffs
That's what they called wizards in divinity original sins 2
Sourcerers
Im not joking
I played it a long time ago
I only tried the demo of Divine Divinity when I was like 13 and I immediately quit it to start up Counter Strike
Or Beyond Divnity
man, we signed a contract for a place to get married and payed them an upfront
you'd expect them to let you know like, yo we got the contract and the money thanks
but no, I had to ask them after more than a week whether they got it
okay, that's great, because I couldn't imagine the server filled with ads
I wonder what exclusive stuff we'd get if we pay
Genuine question, but where will the money go to?
feet pics
I'd imagine Pfist and mods maybe?
idk though
man i dont like the new server icon
it looks like a nothing burger
no animation either
😐
its a lolipop
it looks like some camera icon
reminds me of these
it won't be long before valve sues Pfist
using portal robots
using Source in the name
there's no stopping this maniac
Gabe was Tim all along
maybe pfist is gabe
and this is the first step of moving the whole community towards valve/source
damm took me awhile to find the channel
you can just press ctrl+k
now is represented by the turret in portal
so Tim is inside Gabe ?
this is magic
why is the preview different from the image lol
is this some mip map magic
pixels duplication
makes sense
wait, why I didn't see any difference?
I can only see Tim. Any tricks?
well for me it looks like what hevedy posted
but when I click it it's tim
oh, doesn't work on phone
well, then you're just blind I guess
I can see Gabe in Hevedy's screenshot.
I kinda miss Slack tbh
I like it more than Teams
best chat for professional usage imo
who?
Teams video call
much worse than meet, even no comparing to zoom
it also crashes a lot for some people
Morning unreal sourcerers 
Slack huddles is pretty solid
I mean most company choose Teams not for its quality, just for office 365
You disappointed me Dieter 
That's typical microsoft
Bundles teams and azure with office
But my current company is not caring it. We just picked office and google suite and slack😆
Pay for good things.
why
are you paid by slack?
we use everything microsoft
Teams, OneDrive, Office, Sharepoint, Azure, Outlook, Visual Studio...
Dang you exposed me smart man XD
I will keep quiet for a share of the profits
Yeah, that's exactly the bundle works. MS just want you to stick to every service they are providing.
But if you don't care about money, just pick the best from different companies, lol
not even allowed to use Rider lol
That's a shame.
But I don't think company wants to pay extra for Rider which is not that cheap.
