#

Minimalism is a good choice, but the emptiness in minimalism is offset by some kind of clutter that provides a stark contrast.

empty dune
#

Yeah makes sense

#

Then, the few planets and the space around them that are completely empty become starker still.

My favorite parts of the year are mid spring and early fall
I even quite like winter... on the other hand... summer can go where it came from

It's supposed to be rainy season and it was 24 C for a few days, with the occasional shower.

Although I don’t mind summer given it’s very short here

proud jay
#

I like the sun, I don't like the heat

#

my fingers feel weird from the guitar

unborn lotus
#

tony iommi had no fingertips and he still played the guitar

proud jay
#

django reinhardt played with only 3 fingers

#

wait

#

2

#

you don't use the thumb either way

#

but his ring finger and pinky got fucked in an accident

#

that's how gypsy jazz was invented

unborn lotus
#

jimi hendrix did use the thumb

#

for barre chords or something like that

proud jay
#

black sabbath guitar sound also came from Tony Iommi having a hand injury

#

on his last day of work in the metal factory he smashed his hand in a press

#

oh

#

that's the guy you said lol

#

my bad

unborn lotus
#

I use the thunmb for D/F#

#

on E

unborn lotus
proud jay
#

haven't played those chords yet lol

#

I only know D/A/E atm

you should learn the iron man solo

maybe I should

#

a bit sad that I still have to wait over a month for my electric guitar to get here

#

Hey @proud jay . Why did the guitarist go to jail?

#

he fingered A Minor.

proud jay
#

cause he played A minor?

can one truly shred on an acoustic

unborn lotus
proud jay
#

ok

but I definitely can't

#

when I was younger, I wanted to play the guitar really badly. After years of practice, lessons and work, I can play the guitar really badly.

proud jay
#

proud of you

tulip orbit

🥰

proud jay
#

gonna have to learn to play with a pick too

#

I don't have on atm lol

#

but one is arriving with my guitar

#

it was free

#

and that's a great price

tulip orbit
#

picks are cheap, think the last one I bought was maybe 50cents?

proud jay
#

it was a 12 pack that's normally 1.99

#

but all savings are good savings

tulip orbit
#

yup

proud jay
#

should probably buy a capo too though

#

I just saw on amazon they sell capos together with picks for some reason lol

tulip orbit
#

I've hardly ever used my capo. I think there were like... two songs that I ever needed it for?

proud jay
#

I probably won't use it all that much

#

but nice to have when you need it

tulip orbit
#

but get a good tuner, I've always wanted one of those clip-on ones

proud jay
#

the guy in the course I do has it at some point

#

so would at least like to follow the lessons

proud jay
tulip orbit
#

nice

unborn lotus
#

I also have songsterr for tabs

proud jay
#

I paid for the guitar + amp and got the stand, tuner, picks and cable for free

ToneDeafTest.com

If you are worried you might be tone deaf, take this Tone Deaf Test. The test measures your pitch sensitivity and tells you whether you are tone deaf or not.

proud jay
#

so pretty cool

#

I think I got all that I need

#

except maybe the capo

unborn lotus
#

When I started I tuned +5 because I was tone deaf

proud jay
#

or you guys have other useful accessories?

unborn lotus
#

Broke a string

proud jay
#

oof

#

you were just tuning by ear?

unborn lotus
#

Could not tell what I was hearing

#

No

#

By comparing notes

#

Did not have apps then

celest musk
#

don't trust those tests

#

they are limited by the hardware that you use, soundcard, amp, headphones/speakers, software eq, etc.

Dont think it matters

it's hard to imagine not hearing this

but I guess it's all I've known

But I trained my ear, it's fine now

do the test, I wanna know how hard you suck

someone remember the name of that ?

diorama nevermind

cursive crypt
#

diorama = small scale replica

#

Tho it does not need to be a small scale actually 🤔

#

"diorama" denotes a partially three-dimensional, full-size replica or scale model of a landscape typically showing historical events, nature scenes or cityscapes, for purposes of education or entertainment.

@proud jay The event with Jared Tan has started.

#

oh

that thing

#

you guys are ruining me, now I have a shopping basket with 2 12 packs of extra picks, a strap, strap locks, another strap lock you can hold the cable in, some string sets to try out a capo and a string winder

I didn't. Blame those other lazy dev peoples.

now I hope I have everything I ever need

gonna stay away from those for a bit

until I get decent enough

@unborn lotus question, are we evil enough to introduce dieter to pianos?

unborn lotus
#

evil? just being helpful

proud jay
#

I have a midi keyboard

empty dune
#

well, from a financial perspective we are definitely NOT helpful kek

proud jay
#

I kinda would want a normal keyboard again

#

I hate having to set up pc to play

empty dune
#

my good deed for the day done lmao, he's already falling

unborn lotus
#

you mean a non-split in half one right

proud jay
#

but once my house is built I'll probably steal the upright piano from my dad

proud jay
proud jay
#

a lot of people give actual pianos away for free

#

cause it's filling up their house

unborn lotus
#

also because it costs a fortune to tune

proud jay
#

and if you wanna get rid of it you need to transport it

#

true

#

so we all agree I'm not missing essentials for my guitar anymore right

unborn lotus
#

maybe

#

better question, how many songs can you play fully?

proud jay
#

about 0

#

well no, I did chord practice to 3 songs

proud jay
#

so chord wise I'm pretty much mozart at this point

#

go hard or go home

i dont care what he likes or not but im glad likes got private

#

some "official" people were unfollowing me because of I like anime content

some adult stuff posted now you can like us without hesitation as likes are private

timber viper

after they follow me because of a helpful post related with ue/bp2cpp

i imagine them as "eww, he likes anime" and proceeds to unfollow

@timber viper oh btw, a friend of my friend recently got married and she and her husband wanted to build their own house. they hired this architect who was staring at his phone and scrolling the whole time during the meeting. they thought he was taking notes.........it was just big boob anime girls.

lol why do you think youll die so quick

#

the world needs bp2cpp v2.0, you dont get to escape this quick

timber viper
#

cpp was a transpiler before it became a language

#

called cfront

#

and someone has to write a transpiler instead of a language to "fix" cpp's issues

empty dune
#

oh really?

timber viper
#

yes, fundamental concepts of cpp was implemented through code generation on top of the c lang

#

later on they became components of compilers

empty dune
#

huh

#

interesting

timber viper
#

all those template metaprogramming, broken include system, stupid containers

#

could be fixed through pre-compiler phase codegeneration

#

or just rewriting the compilers

#

but first one is easier

empty dune
#

i cant even imagine writing compilers, let alone rewriting

Start them now if you're growing from seed

#

Takes "a while" to germinate and stuff. But they take off when they come. Been learning alot about growing peppers this year. Next year I'll have better results

#

Because its brown

#

Its habanero negro in Spanish, according to Wikipedia

#

Why

#

It's just black or brown in spanish, its americans that turned a Spanish word into something else

#

Dont fall to american standards

Celcius or

unreal ether
#

I'm considering one of those mini greenhouses for them, should provide a more stable climate even on the not so nice days

unreal ether
#

god if that was fahrenheit I'd probably be dead 😆

errant raven
#

15 celsius should be about 50 degrees f?

#

15 is fine. And 30 is okay

unreal ether
#

How do they handle lower, like the 40f to 50f range?

errant raven
#

4c and lower is when you should worry

unreal ether
#

Ah we don't often reach those temperatures

#

Not until winters anyway

errant raven
#

50 is acceptable

unreal ether
#

Or random days in spring

errant raven
#

@dense atlas youd say 50f or 10c is acceptable for outdoor peppers right?

unreal ether
#

bringing them indoors is also not much issue either. Plenty of warmth and sunlight :D

errant raven
#

Dont prune or top your pepper plants either

#

Learned hard way

unreal ether
#

Duly notes, thanks

#

I was actually looking into setting up some home hydroponics at some point because they looked like some fun to tinker with.
Look quite power intensive though so I never went for it.

errant raven
#

Anything indoors is power intensive

#

Little lights of mine raised power bill by 50 bucks in one month

#

I like dirt

#

Veggies don't taste the same without a smidgen of dirt on them

unreal ether
#

Yeah I have to imagine the soil nutrients impart a lot of flavour

#

The flipside of that is veggies grown in bad soil will just kill you, so there's that. Love me a cucumber with a side of fatal arsenic poisoning

errant raven
#

Whatever I dont eat just goes right back into the ground to compost and feed my other plants

#

I'm happy, the worms are happy, the microbes are happy, so the plants can be happy

#

Which makes me happy, and it repeats

unreal ether
#

How come?

#

Hydros were more of a pet project for fun than actual utility. I have a decent sized garden so there's little reason to not use it aside from unstable weather

errant raven
#

Aeroponics is something I just heard about

unreal ether
#

Ah so just a water in places where water shouldn't thing

I think so, hydroponic nutrients sits in the bottom and is misted up for the roots

I can live off the land

#

Can fish and hunt, and grow

#

Hope you like living off beans

#

And meats

unreal ether
#

Beans are an odd one for me, love the flavour, hate the texture, but put up with it when needed.

errant raven
#

They mature in 55 days, take another 15 days to make ripe beans

#

Pinto beans. Vine variety. They grow and grow and produce alot

#

And they're the better tasting ones

#

We can hunt bears in winter, that fatty meat will stick to your stomach

#

Fish too, but that's hard in winter

#

Why kill the bears when you can tame them

#

Then eat their kids

#

Were going to Kentucky or texas for a reasonably small apocalypse. We'll be eating hogs for years until the shit blows over

unreal ether
#

Kind of wanted to explore hunting at some point. Not as easy in the UK though

errant raven
#

They're making it illegal to kill wild hogs now

#

They're invasive as fuck

#

Already planning on pursuing a firearms license for sport when I can drive, but because all the land is private or protected you can't just go and hunt

There's not much I'd change about that. Everything looks about right. Skybox looks good too

Okay

summer cedar

Yeah. The rest of it depends on how it feels and looks mid-flight.

The starlight streaming past. The rocks, debris, etc. etc.

#

Also, traffic - other ships flying by, etc. etc.

unreal ether
#

Definitely want ambient space debris, with your planets too, but that's not judgable at this stage

#

You probably want trash floating around too. I refuse to believe if we managed commercial space travel like that, then we wouldn't use space as a dumping ground

summer cedar
#

Also, for variety, take your nebula skybox images and shove them into a local image generator AI. It'll give you tons more, saving you time hunting them down or making them yourself.

I'd definitely see if you can go about altering the skybox over time yeah

I need some help with some METH math though.

I want to scale my character down by 0.1. How does that affect my camera and viewport settings to not make it seem like the player is controlling an ant? Im completely lost on where to begin solving this

summer cedar
#

Attach your camera to your character and scale both down?

unreal ether
#

Should just really be changing the cameras fov and focal point

summer cedar
#

Allow zoom-in/zoom-out, so players can adjust their ant/lion sizes?

empty dune
empty dune
unreal ether
#

I figured they would be, hence my comment about it being too early for that to be a criticism

summer cedar
#

I mean, it's space. I should be able to zoom into my engine and waste disposal if I want to.

empty dune
#

The focal length needs to be changed otherwise the image would be weird

summer cedar
#

So long as the crew isn't using the toilet at that moment.

empty dune
#

Its not about the zoom, its the fact that the camera lens would be too damn big comparatively

summer cedar
#

With full rotation to admire my ship from all angles, WITHOUT affecting the flight path.

empty dune
#

But i don't know the proper math to scale it down

summer cedar
#

Ask CoPilot. 😛

unreal ether
#

I'd say it's one of those things you have to play with and see if it looks right

#

Meth isn't guaranteed to save you here

empty dune
#

Hmm, alright

#

@unreal ether @summer cedar fun fact, there would be a LOT of debris in the game. Infact, you play as a scrapyard mechanic who at the start of the game saved up enough to buy a derelict ship to fix

unreal ether
#

What's your next steps for this game then?

empty dune
# unreal ether What's your next steps for this game then?

Build system is functioning more or less correctly. The save system absolutely isn't but ill whack that mole when i find it. Right now I'm trying to distract myself by working on the scenery but that's rapidly coming to a workable state too. Next steps would be to create models using build system, export the meshes as obj (cause the save isn't working, other wise id just save the damn things at runtime), and set up some infrastructure. The ship thrust mechanics are working perfectly, the ai works as well which is important cause the player is not necessarily need to pilot their ship (there is a crew system in the game, already working at a passable level).

Then the next step would be coding in GAS properly (i did a half assed job and left it there in like November 2023). Then i can start doing the itemization required for everything that's not the engines to function. After that it runs into the "i haven't thought this part out in detail yet" territory

unreal ether
#

Nice. I hope there's a trash planet. Just like a wasteland. I also refuse to believe we wouldn't have a wasteland planet, or end up dumping so much trash it generates its own orbit

As for trash planet, there's supposed to be the main scrapyard, does that count?

And also the torpedo bay. In that order of importance.

empty dune
#

Yeah it's supposed to be "you live here, you work here and if you mess up, you die here" kind of thing. The game actually requires you to make living areas for the crew (right now it's just a bunch of flags but after properly implementing GAS it would work properly)

Well, technically i dont need the save, since that only affects preservation of the design. I could theoretically just let the game run for a while and make the design and take screenshots/videos without quitting the game

You know what, ill try that

Can we customise the payload of our torpedoes as mechanics?

Alan "Still" Wake

proud jay
#

damn, that's a lot of motion blur

empty dune
#

actually my problem is relatively simple. i am converting meshes to binary and saving to disk. After load of the json, it parses the thing and tries to use the build system to just remake the steps the player used to make the ship

The problem is, it randomly decides to switch the meshes its supposed to use for the different blocks. for example, one wall would turn into a sphere on one load and back into the proper wall mesh after another load.

proud jay
#

strange

empty dune
#

i dont understand why it only happens sometimes and that also not for every block

#

like every Wall Type 1 doesnt turn into a sphere

#

just a random one sitting far down one corridor for example

proud jay
#

guess you'll have to debug

empty dune
#

yeah

proud jay
#

how are you saving what mesh to use

#

just an enum value?

#

or actual mesh path?

empty dune
#

there's a struct that holds 3 information, the name of the mesh (this is the identifier), the mesh data stored as raw binary and the transform of the mesh at time of save. the system uses the raw binary to reconstruct the mesh and then uses the name to identify which mesh was reconstructed from a central database. so the identification and the reconstruction is separate

proud jay
#

and why do you need to store the mesh data?

tulip orbit
#

hey atleast your inventory system that has worked fine for a year and two projects didnt suddenly decide to stop working after a fairly minor change

proud jay
#

aren't all "Sphere_Circle_BOY17" the same meshes?

empty dune
#

i couldnt figure out a better way of handling mesh boolean operations at runtime

proud jay
#

how do you perform the boolean operations?

hard iron
#

Hi there!
maybe someone is selling tickets to Unreal fest in Prague?

proud jay
#

cause you could store the mesh type + boolean operations

#

instead of the whole mesh data

empty dune
empty dune
proud jay
empty dune
#

the actual operations is done by a library that i managed to find, but i have eliminated the source of the bug from that library

turbid spindleBOT
#

:question: should Dieter sell bread on ssome of the Fests?
:8ball: Outlook not so good.

proud jay
#

like I said, you store mesh type + what operation was performed on it. On load you put the default mesh there and reperform the operation

#

but if the operation is costly and you store thousands, that would not be a great idea

empty dune
#

hmm, that would be costly

proud jay
#

cause your loading would take 10 min

empty dune
#

yeah

proud jay
#

but so your issue is that on some reloads, that generated mesh data is wrong?

empty dune
#

yes, but not just any kind of wrong. another mesh already present in the central database that is not the one thats supposed to be used wrong

proud jay
#

that's wild

empty dune
#

i would understand if the data was corrupted or something

proud jay
#

so the "mesh type" is already wrong

empty dune
#

but thats not whats happening

empty dune

even though the reconstruction and identification is separate

#

which is wild
