i'm tempted now to get into a new modpack -_-
but the time... and i should rather work
hm, probably tech mods, mekanism, opencomputers and applied energistics 2
mekanism adds stuff like energy and ore processing, etc.
opencomputers adds computer/robots/drone which you can code with Lua
and AE2 adds some kind of storage system, so you don't end up with a shitton of chests
and it also has importers/exporters to help with automation of machines
and autocrafting for stored recipes
i did tier4 once... never again 😄
https://wiki.aidancbrady.com/w/images/aidancbrady/e/ef/Tier4_Ore_Processing_Example.png doesn't even look so bad
but it was still a pita to build and automate it
fuel for fission reactor is on the same level of complexity 😄
yea... most mods use pipes tho, because belts arent ideal in the minecraft universe...
they exist, but pipes are usually neater to work with (some can be covered up, etc.)
but you should really use a existing modpack, since there are some other quality of life mods
e.g. stuff like JEI (which shows you item recipes ingame, etc.)
otherwise you'll be lost in wiki's to lookup recipes and stuff

You should fix that
zinc matrix
is steam cheat proof? I mean, there is no way to edit your achievements or time played in a game?
or continue the game from a save state from a non-steam version of the game?
split ermine
Have you figured out why?
I have a 4070 ti super yet I am getting considerable crashes in 5.3
I am starting to consider back porting to 5.0...
I tried directx 10, raise my cache memory to 10 gb on the nvidia control panel, lower the resolution of my reflection captures and my latest was to turn lumen off completely.
I'm having a real hard time tracking what causes it since it happens randomly
@zinc matrix if you use local files, then steam saves can be modified. Achievements use an api call to steam so unless players decide to use bit shark and inject fake achievement codes somehow, not possible.
Time played cannot be cheated but you can run the game in the background to accrue hours.

if it's happening in editor use the new render resources view, if not editor, whens it crashing?
HLOD generation is very hungry for large worlds for instance
also is there really a dx10 rhi? thought it was just dx11 and 12
(I'm sure you meant dx11, it's a common recommendation on Google for this sort of thing, even though you really probably don't want to do that)
split ermine
Only editor so far
graceful sequoia
fwiw my 3080ti (12gb) is in the shop for a failing fan, so I'm using my backup 3080 (10gb) and the worst I get is out of vram warning in the editor, no crashes (those happen in the build steps)
so it really does depend on your project
check out render resources viewer, it's awesome
I believe the editor will use pooled vram when available (windows lists this as Shared I believe) but build steps do not
if task manager shows you only the vram of your card, then that would probably be why it fails outright instead of just being slow
if you can upgrade ram, you might try that-- I've got 64gb here and windows gives me 20GB of shared vram
well I think it's 20 total, 10 dedicated and 10 shared actually
graceful sequoia
I believe the editor will use pooled vram when available (windows lists this as ...
I'm actually not sure about this, it could be that HLODs want more than 20gb of vram lol
virtual texturing can help with this-- instead of crashing due to out of vram, everything gets blurry. you might try enabling it during development even if your intent is to disable it in shipping
very annoyingly the editor can easily end up in a super blurry sad state that a simple restart fixes (even after youve closed out all the asset editors)
also with virtual texturing, an asset's textures are forced to full resolution when the asset editor is open (even in the level viewports)
celest musk
Have you figured out why?
I have a 4070 ti super yet I am getting considerable c...
i'm on linux and vulkan rhi, and shared video memory seems to not work (with nvidia) so my crashs are mostly because i'm out of VRAM
5.5 only has one real hard crash for me, which is somehow related to hw raytracing and directional lights
but in general 5.5 is already way more stable for me
split ermine
Should I turn off virtual textures?
split ermine
I'm just surprised at the constant crashing. I did just notice my main map also has gpu and draw calla through the roof
graceful sequoia
virtual texturing would help with this issue, though it could end up using more VRAM than with it off
celest musk
well start with what rezonant suggested, check the texture resource view
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk3W8Zhahdg they also explain it here
10min video, worth a watch
graceful sequoia
yeah "texture streaming" thats the right term
split ermine
graceful sequoia
there's too many nearly identically named technologies in unreal
split ermine
I had forgotten that video, thanks I will check it
celest musk
that gives you a general idea about what your game uses, but unreal will happily keep everything loaded which you touched in editor
split ermine
I also noticed fluid physics can also crash it...
celest musk
and reserve render targets, etc. for whatever things, which also hog up video memory
graceful sequoia
apparently many landscape layers can also be a vram hog (but it bakes down when cooked)
particularly paint layers
celest musk
yea i guess that depends, not sure if RVTs bake down during cook
split ermine
You think it's the number of layers or material complexities?
graceful sequoia
someone said as much earlier this week but who knows (well paint layers, not necessarily RVTs)
graceful sequoia
You think it's the number of layers or material complexities?
just use the render resources viewer
no need to guess anymore, thanks to the lads at epic
split ermine
Nope, can't tell... says it uses 4 gb , which is fine
I think it's the translucency in the material
I mean i'm looking at this and it all seems very low

for anyone wondering when is 5.5.1 coming, It'll be coming to November soon. And we got one week left to end this month of October. But epic games haven't said the pacific release date of when exactly for 5.5.1 on November next month. But I know that we're almost to November soon. And I can't even wait for it
graceful sequoia
ok what do you think about when 5.5.0 will come out then? maybe December later?
split ermine
@graceful sequoia alright, so the issue with the performance seems to be entirely settings derived.
I created a new project and in it i imported the map, untouched. 60 fps as per cap.
I compared both defaultengine.ini files and it seems this line made all the difference:
NearClipPlane=10
there were other settings that i reset but none changed the fps from 14 to 60

Which is the best AI to use for general questions these days? I'm on free ChatGPT 4 so I know that's still not a current dataset. I just tried Copilot and it gave me one link to a forum post on the UE forums for some reason. And I can't trust any of the sites with different opinions on every one, but all say chatgpt
I used to have a good site for animal anatomy models from scans done for scientific research. Lost the link tho and haven't needed it but the quality was excellent
This is what copilot gives me as an answer. A link and wanting more info about the project. Like no copilot. No.
plus why does it want me to sign in? It's literally forced into my OS now :/

In their licensing terms FAQ, clause 9 is for invoicing purposes. Apparently, staying outside the US means we are not doing business with Epic Games Inc., but a different company name.
summer cedar
plus why does it want me to sign in? It's literally forced into my OS now :/
The link is a citation or source, for verification purposes. You can see the number in superscript in the response. It's telling you where CoPilot got the information from.
If you don't sign in, your conversation history isn't stored.
So, you're using CoPilot in incognito mode right now, essentially.

For me, CoPilot has been damn good so far. I even gave it some project content and so far, it's not anywhere else on the internet (that I didn't put there myself). So, MS has been doing right by me for now.
Dieter recommended Llama3, I think.
fathom wadi
Whats your best use cases for it?
yeah the new llama is getting big rep
nvidia just put out a custom one which I presume is meant to go with the blackwell line
summer cedar
I've been using it for editing manuscripts, suggestions, proof-reading, quick Unreal research that I cross-check myself before actually using, tutoring (I ask it to teach me stuff), etc.
I used it to assemble my computer, too.
NVidia's ChatRTX is fine, if you have the content to feed it.
Like, if you have documents and data in a format it can read, then you make your own AI agent basically.

I dont think I can use it without tensor cores tho?

summer cedar
I won't be surprised if it's mineral oil.
The last time I attended an exhibition in Bengaluru, a cybercafe owner I came to know had created such a build. He told me he used mineral oil.
Look at how happy that guy is. He might as well be using nitroglycerine.
fathom wadi
yeah it's not good for temps if you are burning top whack and haven't got industrial fans coming in because it degrades the lack of conductivity after around 50degC
silicon tetrachloride has stability of about 650degC over 100h of thermal stress testing

Now, we need Unreal AI to help sort through all the rubbish in the store.
🤔 Lemme check something.
Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.
I wanted to see if CoPilot could search the Fab store for me.
Apparently, it can, but it depends on whether the keyword you enter is searchable on the store in the first place.
I asked for a generic table, and it couldn't find it. But, it could find flower.
I think the devs have taken note of that.
They might add it soonish.
Worked for shipping container, too. But, the CoPilot link is a bit convoluted. You have to manually post the link and remove the first half of it. The rest is fine.
unreal ether
They might add it soonish.
?
unreal ether
it still throws some erroneous results but for the most part it seems fine
summer cedar
Basically, yes.
But, actually, it's better to check with Riot games.
OR even better, modify the models to make them 'unique'.
just press the delete key on select polygons.
it's still work, but not too much.
Like, make one lame. The other can be deaf.
Change the third's gender.
Colour the fourth one differently and give it a visible disease.
You get the point.
celest musk
just load them in blender, do merge by distance and set the distance to 2m
that also saves you 100% triangle count
summer cedar
Ah, Ponkkis....
It's for fan projects only.
there is an exception there.
read it and see if it applies to your project. 🙂
Actually, that's kind of fine.
A US court judge basically said something along the lines of, "Make all this contract shit simpler for ordinary folks."
I forget which case that was, but it happened before the pandemic.
So long as the needed clauses are there, the rest is just mumbo jumbo.
celest musk
somehow it's a fresh breeze and i feel like it sounds more serious than other generic TOS/Eula agreements
summer cedar
It is serious.
They also specifically mention you can contact them for commercial agreements.
I think they're nice folks, like the ones at Devolver Digital.
Drop them a line. They might just take 5% or so from your project and let you make it - ponkkis.
celest musk
5% of 0 is 0
summer cedar
Don't tell them that. 😛
Also, that'd be a fan project then. So, no need to call them.

I was showing the wife some of the Quixel stuff earlier and she recognised some of the preset maps they have from naff flips she's played 😄 She has one of those eidetic memories so spots everything. It makes me laugh everytime 😄
I also told her how you can break up the assets and just use parts or re-arrange. I think now I need to get her something better than a laptop so she can play "build a world" with everything.
celest musk
maybe she will unlock a secret talent of good level design

she already has it from world building on console games really. As far as interiors go shes got an eye for it. I don't see her do much outside work in her games to know what she would do in that regard.

see it can be shorter

not really
especially if you have inlay hints in your IDE
also it might make sense for area and phone to implement an interface indicating they should do something on round start
and then you could have a function to return the areas + phones and do it in one loop
