thats asking too much

# tulip orbit thats asking too much

yes
a sandwhich might be the most i can do.
because i got a sandwhich maker!!!! you put in loafs of bread, it cuts them and sticks them together and it becomes a tightly packed sandwhich shape

tulip orbit
#

I want pizza right now, but that requires getting up and heating up the oven

celest musk
#

had one earlier, probably what motivated me enough to keep going with this stupid reparent thing -_-

shhh.. dont talk about that

#

@proud jay are there any better opportunities for middleware developing compared to gamedev in software industry

#

i think with the bp2cpp, i want to follow this route

deep copper
#

the dad joke energy is high with this one

timber viper
#

gamedev middlewares are too bound to game engines which makes me wanna develop a standalone product that all softwares can use

#

like maybe a profiler

proud jay
#

idk tbh

tulip orbit
proud jay
#

I'm not really a product kind of guy myself

timber viper
#

but u must be using a lot of products that arent direct part of your software

tulip orbit
proud jay
#

I guess yeah, like incredibuild or clang or all our pipeline shit, kubernetes, docker, the usual things

deep copper
# tulip orbit

if they don't open their mouth, they are like a broken trash can

proud jay
#

we also have a bunch of in house shit though

#

we have our own build system for some reason

#

but we're getting rid of it

timber viper
#

ninjabuild ftw

proud jay
#

we're going to cmake

#

maybe with some stuff on top though

#

idk

#

I'm not in that team

#

are you sick of gamedev?

timber viper
#

yesnt

celest musk
#

isn't cmake replaced by ninja by most projects?

timber viper
#

im not sure how outside world looks like

proud jay
timber viper
#

but im really getting tired of UE

proud jay
#

I can understand

#

I got a bit tired of game dev, cause like if you know you know and the 5th game is not gonna be much new development wise

#

unless you're working in a cutting edge company

#

that's true for most software I guess

#

I'm just addicted to learning

timber viper
#

i wanna change the "platform" I'm working on, i guess

#

I dont enjoy UE anymore

celest musk
#

well, most other things are probably even more boring

#

get into webdev, then you can learn new stuff every year

#

because everything got deprecated

timber viper
#

i like working on backends and developing new techs

#

not working on some dude's tech debt at Epic

#

"wE dOnT ReViEw ouR cOde bEcAUse iT reDuceS OuR vElocity"

#

then i deal with a nightmare fuel of bugs all day

#

maybe i should work on ML or something

celest musk
#

i think BP2CPP isn't a good idea in the first place, even tho as helper it would be nice sometimes

#

people are going to misuse it

timber viper
#

not my problem, i made a good tech that can be used properly

celest musk
#

that's not going to make bad BP projects good tho

#

and those who know do their stuff in C++ anyways

timber viper
#

user problem

#

bp2cpp's auidence is projects, not people who know c++ anyway

proud jay
#

Is it finished yet?

timber viper
#

yes, its stable and working

#

can be shipped and used

proud jay
#

Nice

#

Now sell it to companies for 8k per year

celest musk
#

that's an oddly random number

#

i would say, use the knowledge you gained during developing it

#

you should know quite some internals which not many people are familiar with

#

e.g. apply for a job at epic and get paid for fixing their shit xD

timber viper
#

some people at epic recommended me to apply to jobs

#

but I wont apply to a job that requires me to move to a country that getting cold costs 1kusd CB_kek

#

i also cant get up in mornings, ever

celest musk
#

don't they offer remote work options?

timber viper
#

nope

#

I also got invitations from multiple AAA studios since last year but all of them are crumbling to ashes

#

classic stuff, layoffs, stupid managers, crunches etc

#

i feel safe in my bubble 😅

celest musk
#

yea, too much competition, the market is pretty saturated

#

and they may have lived too well in the last years

timber viper
#

if you want someone who has knowledge of reflection internals and BPVM no one can compete with me on it

#

i'm up for a challenge

celest musk
#

so either Epic or some company which is most likely successful and using UE

#

e.g. cd project red maybe?

#

they have some capital should be safe for a while 😄

timber viper
#

i wanted to apply but not hearing good things about internal stuff

#

they really went through awful things

#

and naturally ended up in a round of layoffs

#

then i heard they changed how things work, especially about crunches

#

but doesnt give me enough confidence

#

then i was going to apply to somewhere in Sweden only before a friend of me got laid off after one month of working

#

without even letting him say goodbye to team

tulip orbit
#

I wonder if anybody would hire me with my incredible... lack of skills...

timber viper
#

no matter what kind of state you're in you cant be more stupid than the manager that is going to hire you in gamedev

#

at least in most of the cases

tulip orbit
#

yeah managers can be pretty stupid

celest musk
soft night
#

some just not simply become a manager

timber viper
#

start by being more idiot first

#

without that rest is meaningless

celest musk
#

i can confirm that this is true and applies to all debuggers

celest musk
#

i fucking did it

image.png
#

how many hours was this -_-

#

so at least 3h to reparent this fricking BP

tulip orbit
#

thats it? wasnt that bad then

#

takes me atleast that long to write a single function in cpp

celest musk
#

that was the reparenting, now i can fix up all references as every variable was replaced with a C++ one

tulip orbit
#

I need to figure out how to go thru each slot of an inventory component, and add up the total stats. but right now I've put the stats into a tmap cause I have no clue what stats I'm going to have yet, other than defense

#

You may try that route instead. Also you need beta testers, don't ship to big clients first. You will have to fix the issues in more relaxed environment.

@timber viper From one of your articles -- Unreal’s script solutions, until Verse is announced, always ran on the same virtual machine, but in different forms. -- So, is this not so anymore? Or will it change in the future?

errant raven
#

You can set an extra amount to be taken out of your paycheck to go towards taxes right

#

What if I put in 90% of each pay for that.

#

The minimum is $0, they never specified a maximum.

#

When tax returns happen, wouldnt I just get huge chunks of relatively "untaxed" cash

summer cedar
#

Simply put, if you paid extra taxes, you are supposed to get a tax refund.

#

But, why would you want to pay extra taxes?

errant raven
#

13k in debt, cant fix my credit unless I pay that off

#

Would like to get a credit card, so I can buy small things I can guarantee payin off to boost my credit even more

summer cedar
#

13k in tax debt, or just card debt?

errant raven
#

Social security debt

summer cedar
#

Ah. I can't help you there. We don't have social security 'debt' over here.

errant raven
#

From age 18-20 they kept sending disability checks without doing the thing that checks if I'm still eligible. I got it turned off so I could work. And they sent a letter saying I need to pay back those 2 years

#

Which was $15,340.63

#

The money from disability check didnt even go to me, or be used for what it was for. But I'm the one who does have to pay it back and it comes out of my taxes

timber viper
#

not in different forms, VM was pretty much same

#

then they wrote versevm

errant raven
#

I'd happily pay an extra $120-300 in taxes to pay it off quicker

timber viper
#

and no BPs wont run on versevm

summer cedar
#

So, what do BPs run on right now then?

timber viper
#

BPVM

errant raven
#

The funny thing about it tho, a detective told me to fight that debt in court because it didn't feel legal

#

But when I worked I was seeing extra taxes being taken out for social security

#

Got a letter a month later saying I still owed 14,800 something

regal pecan
#

Social security taxes would not be the same as paying back disability checks.

summer cedar
errant raven
#

Once I start working again, give it a few weeks and I'll have another letter to show

#

Gotta figure this shit out

summer cedar
#

You'll need a lawyer-cum-CA.

#

They can do an audit and tell you what's what.

#

Then you can take their advice and fight it if needed, or negotiate to get a discount, or whatever works.

errant raven
#

They said I could get reevaluated for disability and get it monthly again gmto remove my debt

#

But then I wouldn't be allowed to work, and once it stops I'll be in even more debt.

#

And what's $650 a month, when I can make that weekly flipping burgers at Burger King after taxes gets taken out

timber viper
#

its what VM reads to execute code

#

all interpreted languages employ some sort of bytecode

#

and same VM was running it

summer cedar
#

I see.
Thank you for writing these articles. They're helpful.

#

Have you heard of ladies vs butlers 😭

empty dune
#

We really went from serious programming discussion to ladies vs butlers

summer cedar
#

Technically, ladies and butlers can be interpreted as two programming classes.

#

For example, ladies = bytecode and butlers = compiler.

#

Something like that.

I finished watching over- GOD DAMN IT ALBEDO

brittle holly
#

@timber viper what you been up to? Knee deep in bp2cpp or have you been playing video games?

summer cedar
#

I liked Overlord season 1, but season 2 had more politics sans Ainz Ooal Gown than I liked.

marsh vector
#

I finihsed watching Overlord I and II

errant raven

Season 4 was weird

marsh vector

but I want to get III and IV without giving crunchyroll a monthly handy

#

Why demiurge invade errantel

errant raven
#

I dont see a project getting very far without planning it out

marsh vector
#

and how many times do plans survive first contact?

#

It's not about planning itself, it's the duration of planning I've seen vary

#

I'm pretty sure Demiurge went into Errantel to help Ainz keep his word that the girl Sedas saved was there to help, and mostly to help deal with Eight Fingers. Then when Entoma got caught shit hit the fan and he had to step in, leading to him dynamically altering the plan to benefit Nazarath the most (helping Ainz gain more favour as Momon)?

errant raven
#

Yeah

marsh vector
#

That and possibly help bait out other players, which would make sense as 90% of Overlord 2 was pretty much bait for players, only to get NPCs in the crossifre.

errant raven
#

But then he came out with like 6 world class items

#

To collect and send back to to their little undead kingdom

marsh vector
#

It helped Nazarath, right?

#

I think Demiurge was just making shit up as he went along, like a true NPC

errant raven
#

Sure. But its confusing.

marsh vector
#

keep in mind i've only seen overwatch II last night, in a bingewatch.

#

It's mostly straightforwad so long as you don't try apply any sense of rationale or thought midway through

#

just enjoy the Albedo and Ainz shipping i guess

#

(also, how the hell did Albedo make an Ainz bodypillow in Nazarath?! Like... where did she find the time as the head of the Guardians?)

#

There's NO context to whether or not they have the industrial capacity for such a production in the show

empty dune
marsh vector
timber viper
#

you will hate here

marsh vector
# marsh vector There's NO context to whether or not they have the industrial capacity for such ...

Albedo making Ainz bodypillows is the only thing I refuse to believe as practical, possible and easy to do within the timespan of what? a few hours given the world they live in. I doubt Yggsdrail devs even added spells to make crafting items of any bedware sort because that would just be unnecessary and add extra development time for something that people who would rather play the Sims would use.

I'm a student in my final year of Games Prog who spent most of my time in Unity Engine, with a splash of a few months in UE 4.27

#

(part of me's still nostalgic for UE4.27 somehow)

timber viper
marsh vector
#

The more about UE5 and C++ I'm learning, the more I'm appreciating the changes it has and understanding the divide between it and Unity focused devs

marsh vector
timber viper
#

they are wildly different in my eyes

#

software engineering covers engine programming too

marsh vector
#

same.

#

Yeah, i know

timber viper
#

you'd find more jobs as an engine developer at 2024+

#

considering how many tech artists are getting laid off

#

engine devs are no different but at least its rare

marsh vector
#

Yeah, it's more

#

I'm recognized as a bit more towards tech art

#

but I'm almost entirely low-level and high-level engine programming

errant raven
#

Maybe you can work at Bethesda and fix up their engine

#

Give it a complete much needed overhaul

timber viper
#

sounds like graphics engineering calling you

marsh vector
#

Tech Art is more diverse in that it covers various fields in Games Development and you'll be juggling between Artists, Programmers and Designers.

Software Engineering covers various different contexts for developing applications, frameworks, libraries and projects in the scope of various operating systems.

Games Engine Programmers are like a subclass Software Engineers who focus on creating or maintaining the core technologies within projects and the wider game engine. They could be adding a project-specific feature or a feature to the entire fork of an engine a company uses

errant raven
#

Promise you wont apply at sweet baby inc 🥺

marsh vector
#

I like all three roles a lot because of the immense flexibility each one would provide in their own ways

marsh vector
errant raven
#

Promise 👉👈

timber viper
#

tech art is the role/person that you can abuse most

#

we need an AI system and can be written in python as an editor tool? fuck that guy who wanted to write shaders in particular and make him to do it

errant raven
#

Sounds like tech art is calling me

timber viper
marsh vector
#

lmao

errant raven
#

I love being over worked and under paid

marsh vector
#

that's the thing I find even funnier too

#

I love engine programming, toolkit programming and everything about the processes behind engine mdoules

#

can I do them right now? most of the time not, I'm not exactly gonna be able to rip out the UE5 physics engine and replace it right away

#

not that that's... a good idea

#

but if I were a tech artist I feel like I might be asked to make shaders more often than tools or engine features

timber viper
marsh vector
#

Tanglewood?

timber viper
#

no, brickadia

#

i dont know tanglewood

marsh vector
#

They specialize in Unreal Engine

#

one of the graduates in my uni has actually ripped out and replaced Unreal's physics engine before

timber viper
#

with what

marsh vector
#

i think it was custom-made

timber viper
#

they work with fortnite and sea of thieves

#

which confirms their quality

"This marks the start of a rather painstaking several weeks of doing nothing but scouring the history for tens of thousands of lines of PhysX integration code that Epic removed, putting it back, then rewriting half of it to make it function properly again, and also hiding all the Chaos integration code."

luqtas' first strike was on 2023 because we literally pressured mods and they said "we'll discuss on meeting" then nothing happened CB_kek this year though, i assume thanks to BM (or whoever caused it, thank u) he got ban in a few days

# timber viper how server reconciles if I hit a car with 500ms ping

Same approach that rocket league is using (which is standard way of doing it for physics simulations in general)

But basically you are simulating your client and clients around you ahead of the server predicting where they would be if they continued applying the same input

Because with local prediction there are basically 2 different timelines, the server timeline and your local timeline which is ahead of the server in terms of the simulation by half of the RTT

But still server authoritative
When server correction arrives the local simulated clients and your own are rewound back to the server packet and resimulates the inputs from the history buffer to bring it back into your local timeline

Idk, the Covenant was pretty good

Gun battles were fairly dramatic

A force gun would be a lightsaber gun.

--- Default function nodes are UK2Node_CallFunctions that generated by engine and you can override it to implement your own “function call-like” node. ---

#

K2Nodes are direct entry points to the KismetCompiler internals

#

they have a lot of power

#

it lets you alter generated AST of the compiler

#

whenever you want/need that power you can use any K2Node

#

CallFunction is a generic base template that handles a lot of things for you out of the box

#

you can make pins generated based on a parameter in the function for example

#

input events are special K2nodes, automatically binding theirselves to input system

summer cedar
#

So, while working on a game, do you imagine there'd be a need to use a custom call function instead?

timber viper
#

you often wont

#

but a tools programmer or a UI programmer etc might require it

#

or if you are developing a plugin

#

GetAllActorsOfClass node is a good example

summer cedar
#

When you say UI Programmer, I imagine you don't mean the person designing the game's UI?

hi

summer cedar
#

@timber viper So, based on what my tiny brain understands of impure and pure nodes, it is better for me to perform mathematical operations with data from a DB table using pure (green) nodes, store them in temporary variables (which I imagine are what cached variables are), and then use them in my game's interface and whatever using impure (blue) nodes. Is this right?

timber viper
#

yes

summer cedar
#

I didn't know the difference between the blues and the greens. Thank you for writing about this.

timber viper
#

its a common pitfall

#

literal perf killer

summer cedar
#

And since my game will use at least one DB with 3,800 odd rows of data, it's great to know that beforehand.

what kind of a game is that

Have you heard of or played Football Manager?

This isn't surprising. A lot of people, especially those living in the 'developed' countries, think that this is somehow shocking and completely unexpected from 'civilised' people, but that's just not true. It's a matter of what such people have experienced. We are civilised only when we have comforts and security. Take those two away and people revert to their survivalist nature, often times becoming violent and savage.

You don't need aliens to pile up stones.

Nah. That's not what happened. The alien dude who arrived on Earth with the blueprint for pyramids was considered a wanker by his own people. I mean, why the heck would anyone want to build long, pointy objects that rise towards the sky? Well, the wanker decided to travel from planet to planet, looking for gullible people. He arrived on Earth and lo and behold! Jackpot!

#

He didn't even have to provide the replicators for the stones. The dumb humans would hew rock and drag it ALL THE BLOODY WAY to the construction site.

#

He didn't even need to tell them what to put inside the things. They simply decided to inter their kings in them.

I'll take a shot in the dark that the problem is the embed width.

errant raven
#

Peak UI

summer cedar
#

IF there's a way to increase that, then we'd be able to see volume button.

cursive crypt
summer cedar
#

I wonder if it's because it's using the mobile version of the embed code and it assumes you have access to your phone's volume up/down buttons, which you wouldn't ordinarily on a desktop.

This is truly PRO devving.

#

Must be a Bethesda affiliate.

Then it is even easier solution. It is not a F!@# mobile! Their detection sux!

Also it does not matter whether you have a volume control. Because it usually affect the whole system. That's why all damn players have their own volume control! So you can say listen to something else meanwhile.

errant raven
summer cedar
#

I wish Todd would shed some light on why they need so many loading screens, though. There are several areas in the game where they don't exist between doors. The transition is seamless. SO, it's not like they are required. I assume it's because of the Creation Engine's cell-loading, but why it exists in some places but not in others is just weird.
