@timber viper where the heck are you and where is my BP2CPP trial? ๐Ÿ˜…

timber viper

and working on it these days

unreal ether

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

What if the handwritten code is really shit?
Like worse then generated bp2cpp?

#

i'd congratulate

Just regenerate a few landscapes on tick while sampling a simple small little 48GB data table

I mean youโ€™ll prly need to have some form of trial, I imagine?

timber viper
#

i might not be able to

brittle holly
#

I thought youโ€™re selling this to companies. How will they be able to test it and find out if they want to buy it?

#

And will you have diff tiers or seat based pricing ?

timber viper

which means I can distribute through a NDA

@queen isle my pitch is a rpg like classic games like vtmb 04 and Balders gates 1 and 2 with a semi open world game that takes place in Manhattan

and not nevada instead

now if only they buffed the stupid drones to fly higher

pearl elk
#

Im just glad they stopped the fire tornados following me

empty dune
#

oh also, that reminded me, they got rid of the -1 strategem

pearl elk
#

Apparently the patrol issue still exists, they need to put a cooldown on the call for reinforcements

#

you end up with all these patrols and drop ships/breaches on your position then they keep calling for help so you can never mow through them fast enough

Oh no, Banana is now the second highest game on steamcharts

#

I am becoming skilled with using Fooocus and image prompts, now. ๐Ÿ™‚ Getting great results compared to the input concept images.

#

I have to say, this is addictive. ๐Ÿ˜„

summer cedar
#

๐Ÿคฃ This just goes to show how horny these AI model creators are. I asked for a man in the picture and the AI designs a woman regardless. Good thing I asked for ten images. Let's hope at least one of those has a man in it.

pearl elk
#

We need more thirsty women working in AI

#

then every time you ask for a woman you get Chris Hemsworth shirtless

summer cedar
#

I endorse that.

#

Five images generated all have a woman instead of a man.

summer cedar
#

๐Ÿค” I do believe I'll need to get man-specific LORAs. Perhaps the model, too.

summer cedar
broken sigil
#

that place is cursed ๐Ÿ˜†

summer cedar
#

I empathise entirely.
I did, however, get some good models from it. I'll need to spend more time looking for man-specific, good ones, but I don't want to feed my AI addiction.

#

Blue, this is your fault.

I have learned a lot in a very short span of time. I don't think I'd have dabbled in LLMs and local image generators otherwise.

#

I'd have been stupidly happy with online, limited ones.

#

Is there a difference between any of the vc's?

proud jay
#

there's one for afk people

plain marsh
#

That's it?

proud jay
#

I think so

#

I never used them idk

plain marsh
#

Lol ok thanks

proud jay
#

yo rain

#

silent studies is for, well, slient study. you can stream but no one can talk

#

thats about it

proud jay
#

so the guitar was 5-7 weeks before it was in stock right, and they sent me a mail yesterday to tell me my order was delayed

#

and they said estimated shipping date 22/07

plain marsh
proud jay
#

so that's like 6 weeks

#

so it was not delayed at all lol

empty dune
#

6 weeks is quite a while though

#

is it coming from another country?

proud jay
#

it is what it is

#

well they didn't have it in stock

empty dune
proud jay
#

made in china afaik

empty dune
proud jay
#

and then to germany

#

and then to me

empty dune
#

oof

#

that explains it

proud jay
#

the black version was only 2-3 weeks

#

but the white looks so cool

empty dune
#

are you excited

proud jay
#

of course

#

now if my hype dies down it will be reignited once it arrives

#

perfect plan

#

Thereafter, it's Morelogue time.

proud jay
#

I'm enjoying even the simple excercises though

empty dune
#

im joking

#

but yeah thats nice

proud jay
#

that was mentioned in the lesson thing I'm following lol

#

since everyone on reddit seemed to recommend that

#

it's actually nice to see

#

cause the guy knows how to play

#

and then made a course, but he made sure that his course worked by following it himself, but playing lefthanded

#

so it's funny that you can see him struggle just as much as you if you want

empty dune
#

yeah wonderwall is stupid easy to play, sounds kinda okay and can be sung by a trashcan. so in colleges first or second years would always bring out guitars and play wonderwall to attract the opposite gender lmao

#

oh btw @proud jay , im working on making the game pretty now, fixed most of the bugs of the build system so i figured its time to work on the art a little

proud jay
#

very nice

empty dune
#

starting with remaking my main level and making it bigger

proud jay
#

nothing beats programmer art blocks though

empty dune
#

yeaaaah

#

i was just telling mom yesterday how its unfair that artists can learn to code but programmers cant learn to art so easily

proud jay
#

well idk if coding is that easy for artists either tbh

#

it really is a different brain thing

#

I had an artist friend and no matter how hard he tried, he was just always shit at coding

#

he somehow couldn't grasp the basics

empty dune
#

hmm, how basic we talking

proud jay
#

even like return statements he didn't get how they worked lol

empty dune
#

oh

#

hmm, i guess

#

now i can hopefully actually put out screenshots that doesnt look like troll vomit

proud jay
#

otherwise you can just make the game about troll vomit

#

easy

empty dune
#

lol

proud jay
#

I was always shit at 2d art

#

but I was pretty decent at 3d if I do say so myself

#

not actual artist level, but not bad

#

I did enjoy it

empty dune
#

why did you close the embed

proud jay
#

I always do

#

I shortly considered going into movie production 3D stuff, but I was just better at and more passionate about programming

empty dune

i like how the first thing you made it do was the fortnite dance lmao

#

oi listen, do any of you have a good resource where i can learn how to design game UI? ive seen plenty of general UX courses but none of them focused on making games which imo is fundamentally different from other UI where the UI takes a backseat to the game graphics and on screen action

proud jay
#

no idea

#

I know benui

#

but that's more technical

#

not design

summer cedar
#

The website's nice, Dieter. Clean and simple. Good style.

proud jay

summer cedar

The lack of bread therein is concerning, however.

proud jay

haven't updated it in years though lol

#

wasn't making bread at thet time

summer cedar

Update it when you can, but don't change the style.

Just add bread somewhere.

#

did you make it yourself?

median wraith
#

yeah

#

should come back to make updates or something

empty dune
median wraith
#

That's is using the UE4 feature for shared game cross web browsers

empty dune
#

this is cool

#

im afraid hevedy's website is cooler than yours @proud jay

median wraith

well I use it for clients, and still need an update so

#

his web is better structured

#

Creating new book cover artwork using lots of AI generated concept images = PITA, but worthwhile, especially given Photoshop's content-aware move tool.

#

It just copies, moves, and merges stuff around like a pro. ๐Ÿ™‚

Because Godzilla is mutant Chuck Norris. The ocean floor automatically rises to accommodate his legs.

Also, see dog in generative-ai.

Godzilla loves NukaCola

summer cedar
#

Okay, you are all wrong. Listen carefully now.

#

His real name is Gesus Zhrist.
He's the lizard messiah.

#

He can walk on water.

#

There's a book called the Gibble that his followers read every Sunday.

#

Well, you just arrived. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

@trail ore Now, listen carefully.
You will laugh at the memes.

summer cedar
#

I need an AI program to take a look at my Task Manager and kill all the processes I need, whenever I need it.

celest musk
#

it should only kill them when they gain focus

summer cedar
#

Nice try. But, no.
I need the AI to only eliminate all the processes + sub-processes + related processes of the problem children I detest.

#

For example, right now, I had to eliminate all the processes of Adobe Creative Cloud and its UI Helper, and a bunch of other sub-applications.

#

Then, I could restart the app and update Photoshop. PITA.

#

An AI would've saved me several mouse clicks in T.M.

#

Of course, Adobe could also fix their launcher and its sub-processes, but then I'd be expecting too much, such as reliability and quality control.

#

Actually, I just corrected an image of a samurai armoured dog with five legs in Fooocus.

#

Of course, Fooocus's model generated that image in the first place, but an outpaint edit command simply removed the extra leg perfectly.

celest musk
#

write an open email to adobe suggesting that task killer as their new AI feature

#

you can just write it in photoshop actually and save it

#

it's an open letter at this point of time

summer cedar
#

I might as well just google it, honestly. I assume someone's made it already.

#

Those processes are needed and activate by themselves when the CC app spins up, which also happens when Photoshop is opened. The problem I think lies with their updater software.

#

For some reason, when one of those sub-processes is opened - I don't know which... yet - the updater fails.

#

You'd think, but when you start updating an app, it is treated as uninstalled.

#

So, even if the update fails, you have to finish it successfully or you can't run the app anymore.

#

๐Ÿคฃ

celest musk
#

i somehow love that you suggest AI as solution to this on a discord which is mostly about software development

#

just make a diff of the process list before and after you launched adobe shit

summer cedar
#

It's not a solution to this. It's convenience for me.

celest musk
#

then save the process list and make a script which kills them all

summer cedar
#

Which is the only point that matters. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Aye, but I can use the same AI for other programs with such problems.

celest musk
#

maybe i'm too much stuck in the linux world to come up with a sane solution

summer cedar
#

I wouldn't have to click or type.

#

In fact, just yelling at my mic should make the AI do the job.

summer cedar
#

Love Simpsons.

#

Actually, I forget the name of that game, which refused to allow the Task Manager to come to the front.

#

A voice-activated T.M. process killer would've been nifty there.

God I hate this EA shite excuse of an app

#

I'm just trying to play the game I bought on steam, but the EA app is having a hissy fit and either won't load, or just opens and closes itself

#

Thanks EA, always making the UX better and better

pro-tip: make sure game is not from EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, square enix, etc etc before purchasing

unreal ether
#

14th time clicking "play", 14th time it says "preparing game" and doesn't in fact prepare the game

unreal ether
#

EA I was happy to forget existed since I lost interest in Battlefield 1, though BF2042 was something I wanted to try and it was dirt cheap last sale so I cracked

#

And now have to deal with the joys of their shit data farm launcher

tulip orbit
#

I'm sorry, but now I'm going to have to ban you from the server

#

..erm. doesnt seem to be working

#

well. ok then. Just... well you have to deal with the ea launcher, so I guess thats punishment

Tell me how it says "Something went wrong, there was a problem with your account"
And then the game window pops up.

edgy elm
celest musk
#

you can export animations from UE generally

#

e.g. if you want to tweak them

#

however the license doesn't allow usage outside of UE projects, so if you plan to use them in another engine, etc. you may get into trouble

Guess when Creation Club (paid mods) got introduced, lol.

errant raven
#

Paid mods

#

Their creation club mods are kinda trash ngl

errant raven
#

Goes for any game of theirs, skyrim, fallout 4, etc

cursive crypt
#

I don't see it as bad idea to pay for mods, it just the execution is somehow not right.

pearl elk
#

hard enough getting people to pay full price for games let alone mods ๐Ÿ˜›

cursive crypt
#

Well, they should be cheaper in general. A trial could be nice too.

#

And not all of them should be paid, up to the authors.

#

Apparently donations don't work well.

pearl elk
#

tbh they should reward loyal players with some sort of credit to buy them with

cursive crypt
#

hmm.. why?

pearl elk
#

if I sunk a few thousand hours into a game I think Id scoff at paying money for mods when Im playing their game almost exclusively

#

but for joe newb who put 25hrs in, maybe paid mods is fair

cursive crypt
#

Different authors tho. One is fan made, others is the studio.

errant raven
cursive crypt
#

I see it an optional, up to the mod author. Not everyone feels like pouring weeks to make something for free.

#

Gotta eat at least.

pearl elk
#

Its fair to try to atleast break even

errant raven
#

If the mod is really well made, yeah.

cursive crypt
#

I see it as kinda fan made DLCs, from shit to diamonds. That's why is good to have a trial, good description, check reviews, etc. All things which Creation Club does not have.

errant raven
#

I'd pay money for that really huge mod for skyrim that's been hyped up for years now

What about steam workshop?

cursive crypt
errant raven
#

Steam workshop is wishy washy asf ngl

#

It works 99% of the time, but that 1% time it doesnt is annoying and you have to do so much shit to fix it

#

The people who make mods and post them should probably remove their creations or tell you they dont work any longer too lol that was a pain in the ass to fix as well

These look like the Chinese ones we got here few years ago. They were like a scourge. Many of them, everywhere. A friend's villa rooms where covered in dead bugs after he sprayed. Luckily, their population went down as of late.

Lady bugs are beneficial tho

Carnivorous insects that eat pests

I've seen some asian lady bugs

Finally identified that one bug I've been seeing alot, it's a leafhopper. Prime reason why I'm seeing so many lady bugs and assassin bugs

@errant raven ranks do be messed up. Everybody is silver and some play really good (and have 10 year coins) and some play really bad

And one more before I go to bed berk

Was silver 4 the last time I played. Which was 2 years ago before that.

But new cache map when?

Fuck cache, i want cobblestone

Cache was the best

If I warmed up before playing that day, I guarantee you I would've gotten mg1.

unborn lotus

Hope they keep all the boosts

errant raven
#

Another day, another dollar

#

Their top frag and our top frag were cheating

#

I played and won against lem-globals for 6 of those 10 wins. Right under top fragger or under the second one after top frag. Last 4 I won was against mg-dmg. Somehow got gold nova master

unborn lotus

Needs more elo

errant raven

All it's doing is also playing against silvers and 4k premier ratings now

#

Like bro, I know I'm far better than this shit. Why are you making me play with and against bad players.

summer cedar
#

Work, work, work.

errant raven
#

It's not like csgo ranks were any better, some people I used to play with were all silvers the first time I met them. Played with them again last year. That's what it's like to be boosted to a rank you dont deserve

queen isle

i thougtht this was funny

I got an advert for AWS while watching House on Prime the other day.

Who tf watching amazon prime boxsets is thinking "man if only there was someone who could host my data".
Anyone needing their services already knows about AWS ๐Ÿ˜†, and about .00001% of the userbase of prime would even need those services.

vestal sky
#

lol thats amazing yeah AWS kinda doesnt need ads....

zinc matrix
#

I didn't know about it till 1 month

vestal sky
#

yeah but you also likely arent into backends

zinc matrix
#

true

vestal sky
#

if you need a backend you arent gonna be convinved off an AD XD

zinc matrix
#

young people might, trust

unreal ether

they won't though

vestal sky
#

young people cant afford a backend

unreal ether
#

exactly

vestal sky
#

nor do they need one

zinc matrix
vestal sky
zinc matrix
#

it's introducing them to see a product at first

unreal ether
#

young people don't need a backend, and young people like cheap things, they're not going for a backend with notoriously expensive prices.

zinc matrix
vestal sky
#

but even then they dont need it their company needs them to do it

unreal ether

no one's thinking "damn I could use gamelift for my Minecraft server",
they're going straight to something that lets them run it for like ยฃ0.50 a month

I dont miss hosting minecraft servers xD

#

but yes to the point AWS or azure or whatever flavor you want is way overkill for most people

vestal sky
zinc matrix
unreal ether
#

By the time you need AWS you already know about AWS and have massively considered the alternatives. And at that point an ad isn't doing anything for you.

vestal sky
#

exactly

zinc matrix
#

you are right, I'm wrong

unreal ether
#

I'm pretty sure the first name in anyone's mind when they think backend is AWS, then they remember better things exist.

well in some cases, I know jack shit about most of their products

azure is getting better

aws is 300$ and then 1 year of free tier services

Ok, so no actual metrics there

vestal sky

so ya guestimated lol

unreal ether
#

Just the ballpark figure

zinc matrix
#

what would you suggest then?

unreal ether
#

Notice their reviews and how most of them have a discord username in them

vestal sky
unreal ether
#

This means that to get discord support and github source code, they make you leave a 5 star review

#

That throws the metric off as it's a scam review farm

vestal sky
#

that really needs to be addressed

unreal ether
#

Meaning those 21 reviews are more likely most of their customers

vestal sky
#

its so annoying

zinc matrix

really???

there's no way

unreal ether

It's also illegal I'm 99% sure

wtv, yoiu understood me

#

Consider that even with your guesstimate of 25k, that this plugin has been in active development for 4 years. Which gives you a salary of ยฃ6250 a year. That's before tax and platform costs too

zinc matrix
#

what platform cost?

vestal sky
#

translation: you still need a day job XD

unreal ether
#

The cut the platform takes for hosting your plugin

#

Not sure what the marketplace's is

zinc matrix
#

that's the 0.75

mild gust

12%?

unreal ether
#

If I had to guess with epic it's 15%

vestal sky
#

I think 12 is for games but maybe they copy it

unreal ether
#

oh no it is 12

vestal sky
#

oh well there ya go

unreal ether
#

So even if you've deducted that cost, there's tax.

Though that income is so low in some locales that it isn't even taxable ๐Ÿ˜†

I earned about that before I had to start paying tax

There's other risks with revshare too. For instance I have no reason to trust you would actually follow the agreement. Knowing nothing about you I would have no recourse to follow up, so it's a free crime

#

How intensive is it to run?

broken sigil
#

needs about 22GB of VRAM on a 4090
About 3-5 seconds on average for the response, and additional 5-7 in the background to update the "meta" information after the response is shown to the user

unreal ether
#

Jesus. 5 seconds for a response is pretty quick though

broken sigil
#

yeah it feels just about right
If it was any slower it would be noticeable

unreal ether
#

Guess an unreal integration isn't coming soon then?

Sad. I would have liked to have Deja instead of an output log roasting the project

broken sigil
#

I'm doing about 7-15 requests to the model for a single response

#

(thus "agent framework")

#

because it's doing a lot more than a simple prompt in -> response out how you would usually use a model/chatbot

#

if all you are using the llm for is to generate a response you aren't using it for their full potential
They have far more useful capabilities than to respond as a chatbot

#

Even using local models to generate datasets for training my own stuff

#

data cleanup, etc...

#

I can't really reveal every step that it does

But when a user message comes in, it has about 10 different stages it goes through before the final message is shown to the user
Couple of first stages is extracting certain information from the user message (this also utilizes the models (more than 1 model))
Center stages are responsible for querying the memory system, retrieving memories using the original user message, extracted data and generated feature vectors
The goes through optional memory reconsolidation, which can optionally request stuff from the models again
Final stages are for querying and updating personalization (which yet again can request stuff from the models when needed)
And last steps are finalizing the changes to the memory system

So Deja is more like a bunch of different systems working together to create the final response, rather than a traditional message in, response out system

#

response times from the models from different stages

#

and with all these systems feeding stuff into the context, it uses about 2-2.5k tokens just on that
So the majority of the context window goes to what different systems are giving it rather than user input or the response

#

The memories aren't generated by the model
The memories are entirely my custom memory system, it uses embedding models to generate feature vectors for the memories and to extract specific information from memories to make the memory query more accurate
But models aren't used in the actual query and manipulation of memories

this is the result of yesterday's efforts. the nebula thingy is just a texture i grabbed from the marketplace, the two stars are just spheres with blackbody emissive materials spinning around based on a timeline. took about 3 hours yesterday, gonna add some planets now. also maybe darken the nebula a bit, it looks too bright to me idk

Ok. Done.

#

The fly-through gives a much better idea of the background's impact. It's okay-ish, but what's missing is filler.

empty dune
#

Explain

summer cedar
#

You need some tiny particles - of rock, clutter, debris, burgers - in space, so it doesn't seem super empty.

#

Very tiny particles, so it looks like slight streaks of light as you move by, or some such effect to fill the area.

empty dune
#

Oh yeah those i haven't added yet, im gonna hopefully finish those today

#

Oh

#

Okay

summer cedar
#

Yes. Not the whole space, of course. Just bits here and there.

#

Some emptiness is also required, the characteristic of space after all.

empty dune
#

Tbf the game will take place mostly closer to the planets, right now the camera is in the "void" so it looks weird.but yes ill have to add a lot more stuff to this scene

summer cedar
#

You can depend on people to just fly out to see what they can find.

#

And even close to the planets, the space can't be just empty.
