#

lol, whoops. playing my time at sandrock, didnt notice the "Firework x10" on the description... need 10 for a mission... I now have 100

#

yeah, to my time at portia

#

68hrs into my current playthrough

proud jay
#

I'm 68hrs deep into this depression of fixing another team's c++ code

tulip orbit
#

you should take a break from that, and fix my code

slim atlas
#

i did a quick c++ tutorial

#

17 minutes

#

turned into 1 hour

#

😐

#

i hate Visual Studio still

#

why is intelli lense so stupid

tulip orbit
#

just use notepad

slim atlas
#

nono i know about rider

#

its just that these tutorials all use vs

#

and it was already installed 😄

#

i would love to know rider

lofty lark
slim atlas
#

that was literally it

#

fucking VS integration plugin

#

and it still doesnt work properly

lofty lark
#

I thought that 17.7 vs update did a good job at working with unreal?

#

oh

empty dune
#

Mind explaining the server farm bit? I have incredibuild installed and im wondering if that's causing my 8 hour build times for a 5gb package

#

Nothing

#

Im trying to understand why it needs a server farm

slim atlas
#

ok thanks

empty dune
#

Nope, VS installer told me to download it so I did

#

That's it

#

Okay got it

#

Man, i found this channel called jauwn and this guy covers terrible crypto games. Nearly 90% of the videos ive watched so far are about "games" that are just Lyra asset flips

#

No wonder normal gamers hate unreal so much

#

Lyra was a mistake

proud jay
#

I don't think normal gamers play crypto games though

proud jay

#

👍

empty dune
#

The marketplace depresses me

#

I only search the code plugins section but even that has somehow been infected with ai generated garbage

#

Im not skilled enough yet to do the things the plugins ive bought do, so i have to care lol

proud jay
#

most plugins seem like they're just very easy to implement yourself though

#

even if you buy them to save you time, it might cost you more time in the long run

#

my company bought a rts bp package for prototyping

#

except of course, we just carried it on

#

and then decided to move it to c++

#

but the logic was just shit

#

so in the end I pretty much rewrote it entirely anyway

slim atlas
#

we are making an RTS too currently

#

and we also bought some packes

#

i told my boss to not buy the expensive ones first haha

empty dune
slim atlas
#

we got a guy for C++ now who codes everything 😂

#

great times

proud jay
#

poor guy

#

having to work with you is bad enough

#

but imagine having to do it in c++

mhm

proud jay
#

good point

empty dune
# proud jay what does this have over just bp?

Functionally? Nothing, there's nothing HTN can do that BT can't. However in my experience atleast, making the same behaviour in BT has been significantly more challenging than doing that same thing on HTN

proud jay
#

seems like you're bad at bp

empty dune
#

🤷‍♂️

#

Never claimed to be the best lol

#

Infact ive claimed the opposite

median wraith
#

something cool in the marketplace on sale ?

proud jay
#

just seems like a shame to spend 35 bucks on this

median wraith
#

how cool....

empty dune
median wraith
#

once I leaved a job because they started with that

#

I see what you did there

unreal ether
empty dune
# proud jay what does this have over just bp?

You know, this is a dead horse by this point but I can't read. I just realised you were talking about the open logic editor, not the HTN plugin. I was wondering why you said 35$, HTN plugin costs about 300$ lol

empty dune
# proud jay what does this have over just bp?

This plugin allows me to give the players access to runtime graphs, so i can code some specific prewritten tasks and then allow them to mix and match those logic. So i could for example let them control how fast they want their door to spin in their starship. Think space engineers

unreal ether
#

Hehe

empty dune
#

In my defense dieter initially wrote bt instead of bp so i thought he was talking about behaviour trees

fluid bloom
#

sick again

empty dune
#

Is that in respect to my pre fuck up answer or post?

#

Yeah, i thought he was talking about behaviour trees

#

Oh? Which ones?

#

Opportunity to learn

fluid bloom
#

hah, I had that in september

empty dune
#

Oh really? I actually searched for information on that, couldn't find any. Then a few days later I saw a new plugin on the marketplace that did what I wanted

#

Not my best day

#

Oooh, okay, i missed that when I was searching

fluid bloom
#

starred

empty dune
#

Anyway, i bought that token plugin like 5 months ago so what's done is done lol

lofty lark
empty dune
#

Anyway, it was only like 15$, i got it during a sale lol

#

I did come across those two gdc talks though, that's what gave me the motivation to go find more information on this topic

slim atlas
#

I dont have a single AI in my games that is actually smart

#

they are working nicely yes

#

but they get stuck on their own feet all the time haha

celest musk
#

AI is never smart

empty dune
slim atlas
#

however

#

i coded multiple types of AI yet

celest musk
#

it's often just overpowered which some confuse with smart

slim atlas
#

the only thing i havent coded is RTS AI and flying AI

#

they need special software

celest musk
#

like?

slim atlas
#

flying AI needs a voxel driven navmesh solution

celest musk
#

that depends (it doesn't need that always)

slim atlas
#

and RTS systems need advanced table behavior trees

celest musk
#

often you get away with a sphere trace in a random direction, depending on what the AI has to do (like birbs)

empty dune
#

What's an advanced table behavior tree

slim atlas
#

I want drones that actually find their way to the player tho...

slim atlas
#

that way you can easily integrate all kinds of variables

#

its nothing i ever want to touch

#

But RTS AI is just so incredibly detailed...

celest musk
#

you can run behavior trees in behavior trees tho

slim atlas
#

We have a coder for that now

#

I will never have to touch RTS AI

celest musk
#

you also never have to touch my mouse but still you asked if it's sticky

empty dune
#

What kind of game are you making that needs, flying ai, rts ai, and the aforementioned multiple different types of ai (which i dont even know what they are)

Detroit: Eat Glue

celest musk
#

i just played an hour hitman, just to die and lose all mission progress 😦

#

that's not an option

#

at which price tho

#

that's like eating with a golden spoon

#

(still my mind tells me that it's steak on the dish)

#

that's not what i meant

#

doing the same in my KVM :p

#

on the other hand, now i would be afraid to change the setup to real hardware since there have been quite a few reports that it doesn't even activate anymore

fleet tangle
#

I think you just gotta call MS

celest musk
#

i've got a legit one with my last system... but still

#

i had a few times when XP was "new"

#

first of all they are transferable in germany (as ruled by law)

#

second, idk, i think that was a custom build and the xp license was bought separate, that thing is 10 years old now...)

#

but still, why would i do this to myself?

#

i would be lost like a child in the woods

#

yea but i'm stubborn and used to my tools on linux

#

does the license sticker tell if it's OEM or not? i'm curious now...

#

ok, not curious enough to get this kvm up now... (as it's been a few months and you know how things are when you don't use them for a few months...)

#

nvm

#

you don't because you reinstall windows once a year

brittle holly
#

You didn’t get a free upgrade to 11?

celest musk
#

ok, kvm is disabled in bios, since i resetted it when my memory stick was faulty...

#

virtualization

#

bios defaults

#

idc anymore

#

see, i don't even use it really in KVM 😄

#

i only did once to test pciex passthrough

#

to see if i could test my game in KVM

note to self: remember to change power button behaviour to sleep instead of shut down

damn it I just realized that - in my effort to avoid writing fetch quests and combat quests - all the quests I've been working on right now are detective-ish quests

#

find out where the missing child is, find out who is organizing the underground paintball tournament, find out who killed the mayor

river sable
#

find out who is writing the quests

chrome gull
#

;-;

river sable
#

sounds a lot more fun than fetch quests though 🙂

chrome gull

I can't figure out how to vary them

I don't want all of them falling into categories

Worried about their foot health lol, yeah that’s def a good “reason” to make for having weird tastes in shoes

lofty lark
#

I'd feel so unprotected with shoes like that

#

I don't need to stub my toes while wearing shoes

brittle holly
#

Hehe

celest musk
#

i wonder if there is ANY proof that those are "healthier" than normal shoes

lofty lark
#

I can see an argument for it. They allow your foot, especially toes I guess, to keep a more natural shape.

celest musk
#

if you buy otherwise too small shoes, yeah

#

or if you are a frog

lofty lark
#

Regular shoes don't really allow for your toes to function independently of each other

#

They become like one structure

brittle holly
#

yeah just hope you don’t drop anything on it

lofty lark
#

I don't imagine they'd protect you any differently than say normal running shoes

Why epicgames are so fucking stupid and the support also so damned stupid., i need since 3 months help with account recovery, i send ALL i have, all bills connected accounts and they always reject my support request and request some more documents i already send, this company called epic games are hugh bullshit

I suppose it is very frustrating, but there is nobody around to help as I see it.

@fleet tangle did you watch anohana?

It's on my list to watch I think.

hm

#

i was going to ask if I should watch violet or anohana first

#

i guess I'll go with violet then

fleet tangle
#

Oh, no, I just wasn't logged in to mal.

I gave it an 8/10.

#

Violet?

Oh. I'm remembering it now. It's really good.

I got more indecisive now xD

but I guess I'll go with violet evergarden

didnt finish

#

rei plot is starting

#

Ah understandable then.

timber viper
#

its also getting better

lofty lark
#

Yes

timber viper
#

but I am getting bored of the loop

lofty lark
timber viper
#

Idk their English names but "apostle"s I guess?

#

every plot happens through a apostle incident

lofty lark
#

I mean, they are a huge point of the show

#

Like, the focal point is them

timber viper
#

I'm not judging yet, waiting for story to reach the part where they get meaningful

lofty lark
#

Which episode did Rei plot start?

timber viper
#

but from my current perspective it looks like they are used as a tool to develop plots randomly

timber viper
#

I'm on ep11

#

ep10 was rei existential crisis

lofty lark
#

Oh you're still early

timber viper
#

"who am I, who is Rei, who is ikari-san" ChillBar_scared

lofty lark
#

Not even halfway smh

timber viper
#

the episode where electrics was cut off

#

was very cool

#

the illuminati apostle

#

and the hacker apostle

#

science fiction went a bit too far

#

holy creatures hacking military bases

lofty lark
#

The English version called them "Angels" iirc

timber viper
#

and a random blonde chick outsmarts it with bare hands on a dumb laptop

lofty lark
#

You calling Ritsuko dumb?

timber viper
#

her laptop

#

is dumb

#

compared to the "evolutionary unbeatable scary af angel"

#

I enjoyed the ep but it was funny thinking about it later on

lofty lark
#

I never thought of it that way lol

timber viper
#

I want someone to slap asuka

#

she's too spoiled

#

keep bullying shinji

lofty lark
#

Maybe if shinji just got in the robot, he wouldn't be getting bullied

timber viper
#

shinji does a better job than asuka so far

#

||asuka meanwhile, keep yelling at people and simping misato-san's ex||

#

||i have a conspiracy theory that Rei is not a real human||

#

||shinji's father did something awful there||

#

||maybe created her with science or something||

#

||that amount of existential crisis is unexplainable otherwise||

it's incredible how the epic marketplace got flooded with AI generated game icons -_-

why does this preview remind me of the first Doom game...?

UMG widgets stop ticking when the game is set to paused 😐

#

Shooot

#

wtf

pale scarab
#

do everyone of u guys use C++?

#

is it a must to complete the game?

slim atlas
#

no

#

your game can be 95% blueprints 🙂

#

c++ will just give you new options and make some things faster and easier

#

but thats really up to you

pale scarab
#

ty!

slim atlas
#

good choice

unreal ether
#

the only really non optional part would be declaring structs, as the bp ones are broken.
The upside of this is that it's easy and requires little to no cpp knowledge, and many of our bp regulars have managed to do it :D

unreal ether
#

they can randomly forget data entries, crashes when changing the structure as well as invalidating every single reference to them when done so

#

they are just fundamentally flawed ticking time bombs

slim atlas
#

"they can randomly forget data entries"

#

do you have proof for that?

#

i never experienced this

unreal ether
#

I'd struggle to find the message as it was quite a while ago, but I helped someone with the same issue in #blueprint

#

bp structs are well known evil

slim atlas
#

not to me no

#

😐

#

i build my entire inventory systems out of structs

#

i have structs inside structs

#

and arrays of that

#

no issue

unreal ether
slim atlas
#

Its true that you have to be careful with structs

#

its strange that these people have these issues haha

#

you can fully ignore any cpp by the way XD

#

these people have c++

unreal ether
slim atlas
#

no they dont

#

what is up with these people having these weird issues XD

unreal ether
#

because they're fundamentally broken

slim atlas
#

but why are my systems working so well then

unreal ether
#

because it's luck of the draw. Even one of our most die hard bp struct believers ran into a bp struct bug eventually, after a while of "everything is fine"
#cpp message

slim atlas
#

then i must be SUPER lucky

unreal ether
unreal ether
#

but gain there is 0 reasont to just not do it.

you need the build tools for packaging anyway, and with plugins that do most of the boilerplate for you, it's mostly looking up what the data types are

slim atlas
#

so structs are only messy in BP

#

but not in the packaged game

unreal ether
#

eh i've also had issues with them in packaged

slim atlas
#

ok but i dont

#

i am actually quite happy how they evolved

#

no idea what data these people are handling

#

but if you play it careful

#

you can avoide alot of these struggles

#

and if you work clean

after how many variables

after how many breaks

when

empty dune
# slim atlas when

my very first project had a struct break. vik has published an entire game without touching cpp structs. so answer is i have no clue

empty dune
#

last year, december

slim atlas
#

how did the structs break

#

i need the details

empty dune
#

i feel like im being interrogated....

slim atlas
#

Yes

#

i would love a reproduce

empty dune
#

i had a struct, it had about 5-6 variables. It was used across the project. I then decided to rewrite the struct and change one variable type to another. instant project break on compile. never managed to save that project, source control saved me

slim atlas
#

how did it break

#

what was the error

unreal ether
#

I've also lost projects through many engine versions because of this
just never opens, because of infinite null references trying to process

empty dune
#

it was 11 months ago ffs how am i supposed to remember the exact error message

#

back then in 2016 or 2017 i was hunting after a struct corruption issue like this

#

i even had an example demo

#

epic fixed that bug

#

it also entailed changing a variable in a struct to something else while used in a loop

#

I was the one who killed that bug

#

If you are telling me its back, then i need proof.

#

so we can fix it

#

reproduce your issue in an clean enviroment

#

and send it to epic.

#

this is serious business.

Ah, I have that one too. Don't recall ever using it.

#

It is updated to 5.3 tho.

empty dune

Yeah, it jumped 5.2

#

5.2 had a strange bug where plugins would refuse to download

#

5.2 was a pretty shitty experience in general tbh

#

Constant crashes

cursive crypt

tbh, I somewhat jumped over 5.2 too. I was busy with other stuff and by the time I thought to update, 5.3 came out so I waited a bit more for the patch version.

Usees bp struct

and suprise2 broken again

Luckly can be fixed by renaming

the good old unknown structure error. 5.3 btw

Already closed it and renamed the cursed struct. Got nothing to proof to BP struct denier, it's their lost the deeper they dig the hole.

broken sigil
# proud jay so what did the judge decide? since I can't read their shit site

Dismissed like 90% of their claims against Mj and other image gen companies

Orrick agreed with all three companies that the images the systems actually created likely did not infringe the artists' copyrights. He allowed the claims to be amended but said he was "not convinced" that allegations based on the systems' output could survive without showing that the images were substantially similar to the artists' work.
steel summit
# sweet rose Yes

Kind of ironic that you’re using advanced AI technology to generate images resembling a terrorist who hated technology.

hollow dawn
#

lol

hollow dawn
#

if the ai would actually draw shit by knowing what the shit is it draws, ok, id get that judgement, but its basicially just a good collage system with post process stuff

#

and for that collage it uses other peoples stuff

#

now, is a Basquiat a copyright infringement of a new york times article thou?

broken sigil
#

That's not how diffusion works, it's not collage, it actually learns the "essence" of the images trained on

It learns features of images, at no point it directly copies parts

hollow dawn
#

the diff is basquiat made one image, an original, that reflects something else than the article, which does not make the work of the article void, the ai does not, it replaces the work of the artist with a copy of it

proud jay
#

it just learns what something looks like, and then smashes some pixels together until it looks like what you want

hollow dawn
#

mmh

#

difficult

proud jay
#

it's not like copy pasting anything

#

but the problem is more in how it is trained to recognize things, and when emulating specific artists

hollow dawn
#

but it follows the pixle arragement of another image which is kinda copying

proud jay
#

it does not

broken sigil
#

It's literally starting from noise and trying to diffuse them into what it "thinks" the prompt should look like

#

At no point is it copying anything

#

Or collaging

hollow dawn
#

mmh

#

so it just learned how a head looks by looking at heads and puts pixels where it think they are placed on average by other people...

broken sigil
#

Common misconception is that it pulls parts of images from a large database, that's not the case

slim atlas
#

i cant see the article

proud jay
#

it makes pixels, then changes a bit, checks whether it look more like a head then before or not, and just keeps adjusting like that

hollow dawn
#

lol

#

then why cant it do fingers...

proud jay
#

cause it can't count

broken sigil
proud jay
#

a hand with 6 fingers still looks like a hand

hollow dawn
#

even cats can count to five

proud jay
#

but the ai doesn't count at all

broken sigil
#

At inference it starts from noise and in steps denoising it and pushing it closer and closer to what it thinks the image should look like

Diffusion models are denoisers

fleet tangle
hollow dawn
#

mmh mmh mmmh need to look more at ai models

#

see

unborn lotus
broken sigil
#

He is giving the other 10% a chance to provide more proof afaik

broken sigil
#

This random noise is also how you can get different images for the same prompt

#

The best way how I can describe is if you ever laid in bed with your eyes closed and in the dark with your eyes closed you start to make out patterns and images

Somewhat what diffusion models are doing, from the random noise they try to make out features and patterns

unreal ether
#

A lot of my art ends up looking like random noise, so maybe me and AI aren't so different after all

You'll only make out/see patterns if you dont have enough sensory stimulation 🙂
