and they submitted a half-corrupted build with a lot of eye-straining design choices

#

I don't even have a video for you @fleet tangle

#

the video itself is currently locked on one of the dev's drive for their handin

proud jay
#

we had an artist that was really bad at commiting, so we made him just commit at the end of the day every day (not push), which meant the commits were not always meaninful, but at least we had some tracking

fleet tangle
#

Submitting where and how?

marsh vector
#

I got to submit my work 3 weeks prior

#

and that was the framework with everything

#

submitting on blackboard, file upload

fleet tangle
#

I'm sure I don't want to know what that is.

proud jay
#

sitting in the same room does help with getting shit resolved

marsh vector
#

It's like an academic google drive with turnitin baked in

proud jay
#

maybe I'm wrong

marsh vector
#

I'm sure we'll be fine for the student showcase

#

so long as the devs kick into gear and get their heads straight with extensions to fix this mess

proud jay
#

luckily you should not encounter this in an actual job

#

and if you do, you know to look for something else

marsh vector
#

and I'll have to explicitly port over their content

fleet tangle
#

Oh no, you will. Luckily those people get fixed or fired, though.

marsh vector
#

permission to be scared shitless of that possibility, sir?

fleet tangle
marsh vector
#

Yeah I did

#

What's happening is my work is being marked independently

#

They have my framework and all the tooling intact

#

then the devs handed in their copy (the "content copy") 3 weeks later

fleet tangle
#

So fuck the rest off and leave them to it.

marsh vector
#

so they were gonna mark the latter based on that

#

well the team's concerned and possibly mad at me becuase I've got to fix this for june 6th

#

so they get fair representation at the student showcase

#

I'd fucking take slate or a shotgun over this sometimes

fleet tangle
#

Slate has its advantages - easy merging for one.

marsh vector
#

i love tools, tool making and tool design. I hate absolute neglect and misuse of tools for careless purposes

fleet tangle
#

I made this cool texture set tool over the weekend for grouping textures by material property. Fun stuff.

marsh vector
#

oh sweet

#

that sounds really fun and challenging

fleet tangle
#

(you'll be able to use it in 5.5)

marsh vector
#

noice!

fleet tangle
#

It was actually very easy.

marsh vector
#

just to show you too, i'm the only one actually animating the mech

#

and i've made a custom skeletal system for it too (custom C# tooling)

#

it uses Unity's editor window stuff

#

but uses a blank animator and the anim system for stuff

fleet tangle
#

Very cool!

marsh vector
#

it's so I can procedurally assemble mechs

#

and I found even more unique C# stuff to achieve it

#

including a way to return ref classes

fleet tangle
#

Is that like sequencer, but for unity and written by you?

marsh vector
#

no it's the unity sequencer

fleet tangle
#

Or control rig or whatever.

#

Ah okay!

summer cedar
marsh vector
#

my system just piggybacks off of it and is entirely runtime-only

marsh vector
#

I just read. a lot.

I want to get a high mark for my dissertation stuff becuase that's 40 credits and the rest are 20 each (4x 20 credit modules, 1x 40 credit)

but that means I'm going to be here a lot. frequently. and with much pain as I create a prototype proof of concept tool for unity and unreal

marsh vector
#

yeah thats why i have some freelance experience under my belt

#

and some open source projects

Theatre of the mind, Dieter.

#

comparatively I was just setting hard-scripted rotations for any change so this is going to be wild to see and (probably) hard to fix for side stepping mechs and stuff

Riot launches Faker themed "SIGNATURE Immortalized Legend Collection" for League of Legends, ~$450 USD skin bundle

I heard valorant comestics are expensive, but this is taking the cake

there is a very big gap between tired, and tired enough to sleep for me

fathom wadi
# queen isle I heard valorant comestics are expensive, but this is taking the cake

I would have to know what was in it but that price I'd expect at least half of all their skins for every character. Since they gave away all the characters for free to certain platforms, I guess the money dried up so they are throwing a punt at some whales. It's of no harm to anyone tho. If you can't afford it, don't buy it and you can buy all individual skins easily enough on the cheap. If not earn them for free.

#

like I play perhaps 6 chars in that game. So I have tonnes of currency to get any character I want. Right now I'm just getting new chars but I can buy shitloads with just freeplay

fathom wadi

I see they have 3 bundles. Presumably to try catch each variant of supporter. But for that content ? I'd want way more

proud jay
#

mods woke up

deep copper
fathom wadi
#

They need to stop selling us skins and start letting us design them for cash. I'd pay $50 to get my skin in a game I loved.

proud jay
#

minecraft does that for free

fathom wadi
#

PoE lets you design items for like $1000 or something. I like that idea

unborn lotus
unreal ether
#

I like counter strike's way of doing it.
You can submit your skins to the workshop, and highly rated and loved ones have a chance to be ported to be native in game, and you get a split of all sales from them.

deep copper
fathom wadi
#

yeah that sounds good for the right percentage but then it's voted upon which means there are limited spots I guess. Something more obtainable to get in game would be better. Like in CS beta/1.0++ we had sprays that could literally be anything. I've seen some stuff man, and some things. So wild west is out, but moderated with image detection for text and/or offensive imagery isn't out of the realm of possibility

proud jay

#

I dont think it needs NFT but it could be done with or without it.

deep copper
#

i hope it doesn't becomes a weird tax evasion or something with skins next

#

tbh, not like it matters to me, if everyone involved is happy

fathom wadi
#

small man tax fraud means nothing tho. If the top 500 companies paid all their tax owed instead of loopholing it, you wouldn't even need to pay tax.

fathom wadi
#

yeah the legitimacy of some loopholes takes any responsibility away from the accountants. But who lobbies the government for tax cuts for corporate interests?

proud jay
#

blame corrupt politicians

#

if I had tax loopholes available to me I would use them as well

#

can't blame them

fathom wadi
#

I use one myself. Capital Expenditure. I work from home so I get tax reduction on certain things like internet and part of my energy bill

#

any computer stuff is basically a tax write off too. Software. etc. It's not really a loophole per se.

deep copper
#

i guess transparency is the issue, if we are all paying for something with unclear benefits, no one wants to do it

I don't buy my stuff via an account in a Panamanian bank or anything.

So star citizen hit 700$ million

queen isle

how do i make my own star citizen?

deep copper
proud jay
#

when a daddy star citizen and a mommy star citizen love each other very much, they can make a new star citizen

fathom wadi
#

Well technically you could with Unreal Engine. Start with the Simulation template so you have geo-cordinates in your project. Then start making spheres you can land on.

#

I suppose now, with PCG and PCG Biome, if you stacked enough assets you could make some pretty good planets. Or just have 5 assets and make Starfield.

queen isle
#

Ohyeah procedural generation would be a big boon. It'd be a rogue-like. those guys love repeative stuff

fathom wadi
#

the PCG stuff is super powerful but it's not some out of the box magic. You do need the assets to make it worthwhile. I've done a few things with minimal assets, using megascans for biomes etc, and holy moly does it need a beefy PC. I wouldn't work on a game with unless I was rocking 128gb of ram for sure.

I run 32gb right now, DDR5 so it's fast. I also have 3 swap file drives. I tried to make one biome cover a 2x2km area and just spawn some trees. It used all 32gb, 2 full swap files (my OS one didn't allow access apparently) and I was waiting anywhere between 15-30 minutes per edit. And I mean, per edit. Anything changed it was a full 75,000 tasks to run.

Can you have royalty based license for your unreal engine plugin?
Say I want to make a plugin and release it on Github, But users are required to pay for example 1% if used commercially, Same as unreal engines 5% royalty

cursive crypt
#

If you do the distribution yourself. On the MP - no.

unreal ether
#

You might have a harder time gaining users though. Not even larger devs tend to opt for that model

#

It's not often people want to sacrifice essentially equity for a minimal subset of the game.

#

Subscription/flat fee tend to be the most popular ones for plugins

cursive crypt
#

An entry bar, say $100k is better tho. No 1% for each miserable 100$ of some indie game.

#

Perpetual + paid upgrades is the best imo.

idle arch
unreal ether
#

SStill gonna be a tough sell. 5% for the entire engine will be a lot more forgiving than 5% for a small plugin.

cursive crypt
#

Well, if you target these numbers, I expect to be one badass plugin i.e. you should have a big staff behind to advise you on that matter.

unreal ether
#

After 1m you've basically guaranteed you won't have any income unless you're well established

unreal ether
#

You're certainly allowed to, there's just a reason why most don't :P

#

Don't fall into the trap like Logic Driver did though, where you release for free on the MP, and then state "If you earn over X, you must buy a license"
Because you don't have to

bronze axle
#

Seems like an awful lot of admin work for a small business.

unreal ether
#

Also that

#

There's also the fact that most could get away with no payment.
If some larger studio refuses to pay you, do you really have the means to enforce payment?

Ah. I didn't realize you literally meant your brother.

I am used to people these days saying "Bro said x" as a generic way to refer to someone.

I play Genshin, too, but casually.

cursive crypt
#

I see, lol. It is how we refer to each other since... a decade or two.

cursive crypt
bronze axle
#

I think so, especially for people like me who prefer deeper combat.

#

But I think Genshin will be fine.

cursive crypt
#

Looks a bit erratic to me, as say in typical button mashing way.

bronze axle
#

You cannot get away with button mashing in Wuthering Waves. It requires more skill than other similar games.

cursive crypt
#

I guess, I will get my head stuffed with more info when I see my bro these days.
It is always nice to have some competition. Didn't knew you are into these anime mmos, lol.

Im pretty sure there was a huge controversy though and i do remember feeling very weird about it

I recommend checking the game out again if you enjoyed it. Version 4.x has been the best so far, in my opinion. Great characters, story, music, and environments in Fontaine.

But that was 2 years ago, could be bad memory

Monstadt is great.

empty dune
#

There's this one spot on overlooking a cliff and when you go there some really serene music plays

#

I used to just park my character there and listen to the music, that's all

#

Genshin music is top notch

bronze axle
#

If you are a fan of art deco, baroque, and Victorian fashion, you will like a lot of the designs in Fontaine.

bronze axle
#

I have a playlist on Spotify of all my favorite relaxing/chill music from every region.

#

I still need to add Fontaine.

empty dune
#

I think i unlocked inazuma, monstadt and liyue

bronze axle

If I remember correctly, they added a special waypoint for people who want to start Fontaine right away.

empty dune

Although the Spina di Rosula operates efficiently, the results achieved are often proportional to the ruckus caused.
Occasionally, when the scene gets out of control, a Melusine officer would hurriedly step in to intervene by stating "Now, now, everyone, please, don't panic. They're just filming the latest crime movie!"

It's a gacha game, if pokemon did it with scarlet and violet, I wouldn't put it past genshin

The largest game I ever played was Forza Horizon 5, which clocks in at ~135 GB.

dc have some multiverse game

bronze axle
#

I love a good dodge and parry system.

#

They add a whole new layer of strategy and skill, especially in boss fights.

summer cedar
bronze axle
#

I am pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of the game, but the combat is by far the best feature.

summer cedar
#

Cool. Is it basically single-player and a long grind?

bronze axle
#

It is singleplayer, yes. There is optional co-op, though, so you can play with your friends.

#

I think co-op is only for exploration and farming, not story.

#

Not sure. I just play alone.

#

I really enjoy the kind of combat systems you find in Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Black Desert Online, etc.

#

High risk, high reward. Feverish pace. Flexible combos. Dodging and parrying.

summer cedar
#

I was attracted by the combat in the videos.

#

I was wondering if it was a grind though. I think I am past my prime for too much grind.

bronze axle
#

It is as fun as it looks.

#

Every RPG will have grinding. The game has only been out for a week, so it is difficult to say, but so far the grind is manageable.

#

I have just been doing quests and exploring the world. I have not really dabbled in the end-game yet.

#

It is structured very, very similarly to games like Genshin Impact.

summer cedar
#

Nice! πŸ™‚

#

Post lots of screenies.

bronze axle
#

Sure. I wil try to post some videos once I get better at dodging and parrying.

#

It looks pretty good, too. The game is made with a modified version of Unreal Engine 4.26.

#

The developers stuck with 4.26 for stability and maturity, then backported some features from 5.x as needed.

That combat looks really fun

proud jay
#

this one is for you @deep copper

deep copper
proud jay
#

yes

#

only lighs up if no light on it

deep copper
#

it's also changing colors WOAOA

#

this is amazing

#

what's with that ball tho, is it to increase the spread of light

#

this is so quick at response, it lights up nearly instantly under shade

proud jay
#

the ball is useless

#

it's just there

proud jay
deep copper
proud jay
#

how the fuck should I know

deep copper
#

is it battery
what's it running on
is it directly plugged

proud jay
#

it uses a single cr2032 battery

deep copper
#

hmmm

proud jay
#

but how much of it it uses idk

deep copper
#

this would be really useful as an automatic night light

#

if it can last a day

proud jay
#

well I assume it lasts a few months tbh

#

it's not like it's doing much

deep copper
#

since it also has a transition from different colors, maybe slowing it down could give you a evening to midnight different color light

deep copper
#

i guess it's doing more than a clock??

#

but less than a phone

#

so probably lasts between 1 day to 1 year

proud jay
#

idk

deep copper
#

you can also use it like a dynamite or flashbang, throw it in a dark room and close the door

proud jay
#

it's not that bright

deep copper
#

it's cute tho

#

it's also in a ball

#

wait if you

#

put it in your mouth, it would glow

proud jay
#

correct

you can also make godly handshakes
if you strap it to your palm

hmm that could be a drag but I guess thats for large. I need to look into it more

broken sigil

I'm gonna try an unquintized fp16 version since I have the vram for it, should be using around 16-20GB depending on the context size

#

curious if there will be any noticeable difference in quality

it's pretty impressive an 8B model is this close to massive 175+B models

Hey yall want to ask have yall work with perforce before? Im thinking of setting it up with a server?, thinking of using digital ocean..

I want to ask? Is there any server host thats price better or work well with perforce?

From my research, azure one looks second best to digital ocean but saw some forum posts that lots of people have trouble setting up perforce with digital ocean and getting P4V server address working to their server

and yes, Kenshi is rpgy, but its also one of the most sandboxy, unguided worlds ive seen, theres nothing to hold your hand, you just are in the world, sometimes you find a piece of paper telling some background why things are how they are but doesnt matter, you just lost a leg and need to survive the cannibals that are eating it atm and put you in this tiny cage.

i might suggest monkey island for its simply enjoyable world to explore, but you might have to combine a rubberchicken with a cannonball so you can use it to flatten the schnitzel that lets you win the schnitzelcontest so you get a map for treasure which is really just a hint to find Elaine

I was busy reading page 10,000 something of the book and totally ignored it.

When I eventually saw it, it was a pop-up telling me that Win 10 support will end in 2025. Click more to know to upgrade to Win 11.

So, I did, because why not? The answer: Buy a new PC.

Wut dis? πŸ€”

Ah, what distro?

I haven't had any problems with Edge, but I've used Chrome for so long that I didn't see why I should use it instead. BUT, I have read almost 11,000 pages in Edge now. πŸ˜„

Didn't knew its working there.

summer cedar
brittle holly

people use Windows widgets?

summer cedar
#

And AI too.

brittle holly
#

AI uses widgets?

summer cedar
#

Now, yes.

#

Although pop-up might be the better term for it? Or side-window?

#

It's still a widget though, I am pretty sure.

#

Still is, but you have to be vigilant and prevent Bing/Co-Pilot from changing the town/address to some other place, because the device's GPS reading is wonky to it.

cursive crypt
#

What distro anyway, Debian?

#

We are mostly Debian/Ubuntu at work. At home - Mint.

#

Pretty okay, I mean, it could have been Mint say, for that XP experience.

summer cedar
#

just because you asked.

cursive crypt
#

+Gnome, its okay.

#

I would say Ubuntu/Mint are the most sane ones πŸ€”

#

Or you start to get too much into IT mode.

I think I have Rabbit installed on a pen drive, just to have a GUI if my Win installation gets borked.

As long as they were part of the package management is pretty easy.
Tho many projects are flexible enough to make local installs.

summer cedar
#

There's a sign-in button/link above the dialogue box.

#

Once you sign-in, you can use it for more than 5 questions.

#

That's weird. Maybe because you're not on Win.

#

Once I sign-in, I can use it for more than 5 in the widget, outside of Edge.

#

It's the taskbar widget.

#

Like Blue Man said (before), it's probably linking to Edge indirectly.

#

Join us. Join the Edge.

#

J O I N U SSSSSSS

#

πŸ‘

#

I've used it for so many things now.

#

Even with Unreal, it's nice. But, I have to be very specific with my prompts. Even then, it does get things wrong or simply repeats stuff, if the question is too complicated for it.

#

But, basic UE shit, no problems.

#

Of course, I always put it on the 'More Precise' setting before I ask UE questions.

cursive crypt
#

I suppose it can be used to give some hints, but I still expect it to spill out factual bullshit.

#

Especially with how it needs to be kept up to date with the UE messy code.

summer cedar
#

I think it basically taps into the UE documentation most of the time for its answers.

#

I have seen other tutorial and website sources being used, but most of the time it's UE docs.

#

I did give me some nice tutorials for making menus and UI.

#

But, I think I'll always go by the rule of thumb: Double-check everything.

#

After Lavender and Daddy, that applies double now.
