What I'd do here isn't even have a "side" or something enum and just re-use it...
"Direction" or whatever
If you add more floors, make it a struct. Enum + floor #.
pearl elk
ewwwnums
tulip orbit
Yeah I have a direction enum as well, tho not sure its in use anymore. But with deciding direction thing, I wanted the default for it being semi random I think. I forget how that works (other than the comment)

It's actually pretty shitty, I end up duplicating a lot of enums like this, but with slightly different sets of values.
Then adding conversions functions. š¦
tulip orbit
Yeah. I've got two structs here that are quite similar, but different enough in structure and purpose that I think I have to keep them seperate
pearl elk
wheres the extensibility
fleet tangle
I think I've got like 3 enums just for colour channels. One has None, one has RGB and RGBA, etc.
tulip orbit
they dont have those built in?
fleet tangle
Not that use the correct meta information.
tulip orbit
ah
fleet tangle
I don't believe there's a generic Red, Green, Blue, Alpha enum in the engine publically anywhere.
And even if there were, it's not set up correctly š
pearl elk

In my case you don't.

tulip orbit
I'm debating a big change on my map gen. In my map theme data asset, I have seperate arrays for each type of wall tile to spawn (straight walls, corners, ceiling, etc) But it gets kinda messy to read thru and see what pieces there are when I get lots of pieces. So I was thinking of changing it to a data table, one for walls ceilings and floors each. Then in the DT I can sort by wall piece type. But currently lots of code uses those seperate arrays, and I'd probably have to change it to store/use row names instead....
are there other options for having a big list of items?
or a better way to view the data in a data asset?
pearl elk
Well there is always the option of duplicating data for easier manipulation by a human but on the back end you do the robot sauce
efficiency isnt so important as user experience for the front end so perhaps something to consider
tulip orbit
I think the data table would be much easier to work with. But it'll be a lot of rewrite on my end
but... the rewrite might hopefully end up making me write things a little better.
pearl elk
well if you can automate it so the datatable auto propagates to your arrays then maybe you can just hook it
tulip orbit
I could do that.... but the other idea of it, is if I do add 3d environment support, I'm going to add more piece types, which would easier by having all wall pieces and such in one spot
pearl elk
PostEditChangeProperty is the event you want when an object is edited
tulip orbit
I could potentially pull the whole data table and put it in an array for working with
pearl elk
so you only need to update bits and pieces not refresh the entire array
tulip orbit
huh? PostEditChange -> store it in an array for handling in the generation process.... but where would I store the array?
Why not instead of storing the data perpetually in two spots, When the map gen runs, it stores a temp array for the map gen to use, and then when map gen is complete, it clears the temp array?
pearl elk
I just thought to reduce errors you could duplicate the data then rewrite and remove the old code path once youre satisfied the new one is entirely functional
this way the old code path stays intact
tulip orbit
I think, the way my code is written, it'd be harder to add both. Plus I'd just get horribly confused trying to parse it in my head
pearl elk
well you cant compare performance unless they function side by side
could be your current system is actually more performant
celest musk
i would, if possible, start with a getter which merges the old data to the new format
then implement the getter everywhere
then you can start/decide to migrate the data
tulip orbit
well the data I've got now is all test stuff and pretty basic so its not worth trying to implement that (especially since I dont know how...)
as for the actual map gen functions, I've got a lot messy code in there where I have to get the piece type, then get the array, and sort and track between the different arrays. if all my walls are in one big array, it'll be much easier to handle I think
pearl elk
If Im honest Im not the biggest fan of many of the built in data stores
I pull my data from json files on disk and autogenerate DataAssets in the editor
much nicer diffing on text
tulip orbit
neither DT or DAs are perfect, I agree.
pearl elk
sounds like you need to rewrite the underpinnings before moving to a different data source
tulip orbit
its going to be a bigger job than I probably realize...
pearl elk
as long as you got a good plan of attack it's doable
tulip orbit
I also dont have any other ideas of things to do/try. I got my only other good idea working yesterday
pearl elk
try all the things
tulip orbit
alrighty, compiling what I've done so far. And to test how the data table actually looks in editor...

You uv the medium poly then subdivide
Blender can handle uvs for large meshes pretty well too
median wraith
mmm
summer cedar
ZBrush has a similar system too.
You sculpt a high poly mesh and then decimate it - if I remember the name correctly.
The decimated poly is much lower than the million poly version. Apply your maps and seamlessly transition back to the high poly version. Adjust as required.
It can still be a PITA though. š

NTP port hacks were super common back in the late 90s. Packet detection for NTP was resolved fairly quickly but back then people were still running bank servers on windows 3.11 in some parts of the world so it was like shooting fish in a barrel.

added the update for Android to align with Google's ridiculous SDK requirements
strange one tho that it says "previous unreal builds" wont ship correctly. AFAIK if you have the SDK targeted in your project settings it will still work. I only have the latest SDK installed but I did not submit to the store yet, so I'm confused if I need to update or not. I'm definitely within regulation on the SDK side because before I start a project I do my homework and knew Google were forcing SDK restrictions this month.
that means if I updated now, uploaded my game to the store, then left it until the next SDK update, I would have to reinstall everything to do with the project, switch it to the updated Unreal Engine and re-build before uploading again. Seems wrong somehow
summer cedar
I have reluctantly given up installing a few games, because I think my drive will run out of space.
So, I must wait.... until I retrieve the SSD from my laptop and plug it in... OR splurge on another nvme drive.

- 32 gb ram? sounds like a minimum, i wouldnt buy a new computer with just the minimum
- maybe this is normal and all motherboards are "intel" or "amd" but having the motherboard itself branded in that way hits me in my sus bone
- um that SSD managed to have a shitton of letters and numbers yet not say what the storage capacity is?

then im like .. w/e im not looking up if its a valid fan for his cpu and shit

But I wouldn't buy am4 as a new system
That aio is overkill for the FX chip
I think.
It is 8 cores, 3.6ghz. Would run decently hot, especially since it's old amd before ryzen
carmine wraith
i havent owned an amd for probably 20 years
errant raven
Why are you letting intel fuck your wallet
carmine wraith
and i havent shopped for my own video card in at least 12, since i inherited office handme downs (game dev job), for that time
so i dont know know shit about amd models, lines, nor video cards
carmine wraith
well i assume the context here is, "game developer build"
its usually important to have a pc that is 1. representative of the most common brand 2. a step above gamer pc, because youll need it
errant raven
Nvidia and intel aim for productivity performance, while it more than excels at gaming
carmine wraith
errant raven
Maybe no more than a 5% increase in fps than ryzen and rx cards. Which isnt really much
carmine wraith
notice: by wide margin the average steam person playing the games you are developing, are running intel and nvidia
if you develop your whole game on amd and amd
well you didnt test what the majority of people actually will experience
errant raven
Wow the 1060 6GB finally got replaced as the most used card on steam
carmine wraith
dx12 gpus and win10 71% plus is sooo nice

AMD cards primarily use dx12
That's why they suffer so much in fortnite, when it's set to performance mode.
errant raven
Performance mode uses directx 11, amd cards hate 11
carmine wraith
oh
errant raven
Nvidia cards do both, I think? I'm not too sure on the specifics
errant raven
AMD is pretty good tho
Most the bad rep they get is just tech illiterate people being idiots
carmine wraith
im 100% glad there is a competitor to nvidea
just saying, if your a developer shopping for a pc, just look at steam hardware survey (assuming pc game developer) and but whatever MOST people have
then, if you buy a second pc specifically just for hardware testing
buy whatever 2nd most common thing is
errant raven
I didnt know the hardware used to develop something mattered
carmine wraith
like you just said stuff about fortnight and amd video cards?
errant raven
Yeah it runs fine if you dont use performance mode
carmine wraith
what if you designed all your performance qualtiy settings in game based on your pc which was an amd
and went way out of your way
to avoid some feature that tanked performance
carmine wraith
turns out, it was only amd cards, and only 33% of people have those
carmine wraith
I didnt know the hardware used to develop something mattered
this is entirely for example purposes, in response to
carmine wraith
lawl
its just a pc, and if your priority is "maximum effort per buck, and bucks are limited"
decide based on that
