the builtin one just basically lerps the cam position from one view target to the next, nothing fancy
#lounge
graceful sequoia
median wraith
yeah i kinda did like that but from ground on the camera manager
could be interesting if by defualt they add an actual material or PP
to be show in between
rather than a flat color
graceful sequoia
imagine a world where fab actually let you browse the uassets of a package and even let you do a playable demo in browser. it's not super crazy, UE has some support for web already and an asset like this is not using insane features. in that world, an artist wouldn't be compelled to ship crap like this: just give us the umap and assets
median wraith
so basically you did rebuild SetViewTargetWithBlend
yeah I did a lot of tick functions XD
I did a cache manager too
celest musk
the only thing that bugs me about the "original" one is that you can't really specify a camera, but only an actor
median wraith
it loads an scene before you move there
celest musk
so it picks the first active camera
graceful sequoia
isn't there also a FVector version?
view targets doesn't really use camera actors, kind of the reverse from what I understand-- the camera is just the actor that becomes the view target
ish
when you set a character as a view target, it's just going to find the first camera component to provide the position and fov and PP etc
median wraith
also the sound is sync with the blend effect
graceful sequoia
oh I see so not lerping, instead handling the transition stuff
median wraith
as the blend effect can be dynamic too
yeah is a transition splitted, audio goes in also with it
graceful sequoia
yeah
median wraith
also had todo a wind effect too for cameras
graceful sequoia
so you don't see texture pop
this is definitely a tricky bit sometimes, especially with tex streaming
median wraith
idk why the audio in the video lost time over the video duration
median wraith
this is definitely a tricky bit sometimes, especially with tex streaming
yep, it runs a batch of cameras before the game starts
isn't much time but 1s per camera
usually there are 5 or 10 cameras max
then all is cached
you can see fresh moving between areas and all is fine
graceful sequoia
another thing that grinds my gears about these demo assets is that because they're just trying to give you a game like experience, they ship characters with full input code. ok that's fine, but this is a horrible way to actually build an input setup-- and since every sample asset you find does it, people think that's how it should be done
median wraith
I also did a rebind system over the old binding system for my game
is all in C++ it basically replaces all the keys with the ones I send
graceful sequoia
imagine all the green devs learning unreal trying to have a few characters to switch between and repeating the same goddamn input logic on every char blueprint
and then because the character artist wants you to be able to walk around in the map, often the useless character blueprint is referenced from the reference map for the character, so to remove it you must first go disconnect these things so you can keep the part that's arguably (but debateably) useful: the map with the character in various poses
used to be more important because animation retargeting was difficult and error prone, thank god for ik rig
nowadays the animations that things come with really don't matter at least for humanoid ue5 compatible skeleton characters
besides, everything they come with are just Manny's animations, and they're terrible. First thing to delete, honestly
occasionally though you get some nice animations with them, that add support for things like facial expressions
</rant>
with my current project, every character has a uniform input system, from heros to NPCs, to animals, to mounts. The game doesn't care what it's controlling -- player controller possesses it and it works. I have a hard time believing this isn't the intent with the design of the gameplay framework, and yet every damn asset out there ignores this
graceful sequoia
I've had people here be like "whoa, you can just control any character in the game as the player????"
yeah but the path is just not reflected in the ecosystem
after awhile it becomes obvious but so precious little resources actually tell you to do it that way
you just have to infer it after awhile
I feel like the paragon assets was an opportunity to show that off-- it's a game with a ton of playable characters
but then, did epic actually solder off a central player controller system so they could ship each character individually? they didn't do anything like that in the materials and textures areas-- it's all built out like they just grabbed a list of the referenced assets and shipped those as is
(every paragon character comes with a player character BP that handles input directly)
pearl elk
The Unreal Way (tm)
graceful sequoia
don't get me started on anim blueprints, and how it took decades to just give us a reasonable way to share the logic of those
(anim bp templates, absolutely use them)
summer cedar
I think Piranha forgot to turn on Nanite in the last mission, in MW5: Clans.
It's horribly unoptimised. Massive stutters, lags, etc. etc.
Which is a shame, given the rest of the game is absolutely peachy, for me.
graceful sequoia
the thing I love about anim bp templates, is that unlike previous solutions, it gives zero shits about animation assets applying to skeletons they don't belong to. This both makes things actually work much better and also can result in hilarity
pearl elk
How does a piranha use a switch since it has no hands?
graceful sequoia
I think Piranha forgot to turn on Nanite in the last mission, in MW5: Clans.
I haven't played it, but if only having Nanite involved in a scene meant instant perf 🙂
summer cedar
The scene feels very similar to the environment scene in the marketplace, in that mission.
I am sure they'll patch it soon enough. It's only been a few days since the game's release. I doubt as many whiners have reached that part yet.... er, I mean, customers demanding quality.
pearl elk
I bet they use a PlayerController for the mech inputs
graceful sequoia
having Nanite involved -- reminds me of the talk here about megalights -- lots of people correctly stating it doesn't handle directional lights, but from what I understand it simply lets the normal lighting pipeline handle directionals -- they still work with megalights turned on... you wouldn't know it by how people talk about it here and on the forums
and do we need 128 directional lights per square meter??
summer cedar
🤔 There's a guy who's written an article complaining about MW5: Clans' AI. I find that odd, considering the UE 5 AI plugin (or whatever Piranha is using) is LEAGUES ahead of MW5: Mercenaries' AI.
Makes me wonder if a weak CPU would result in mediocre AI performance, if there's machine learning involved.
For me, the AI has been one of the best advancements in Clans. They follow your orders to the letter, defend where they should, avoid shooting you in the arse as much as possible, and rip enemies to shreds.
Even the enemy AI scales up with the missions, as far as I could tell, on Normal difficulty.
graceful sequoia
I have trouble with MW abbreviation I keep reading it as modern warfare lol
summer cedar

Mech Warfare
summer cedar
The real problem with the game is how, at least on Normal, most of the weapons outside of MP Lasers become useless in the final missions.
They need to revisit weapon balance, or mech armor.
graceful sequoia
I haven't played much warrior games in years, I should definitely get back into them
summer cedar
Buy Clans and go from there.
The story is well written and narrated.
I THINK it'd be the best SP campaign in modern times, in terms of scripted stories at least.
graceful sequoia
I think the AI prowess is likely just good work by the team
machine learning may have some part but it's not like theyre shipping modern LLMs in there
thank god
pearl elk
Buy Clans become a Clansman
summer cedar
machine learning may have some part but it's not like theyre shipping modern LLM...
I hope they release an article about it. I'd love to know how they improved it.
summer cedar
If they are using machine learning, I can totally get why a weaker CPU would result in bad AI for some gamers, though.
If it's not that, then my gaming experience is blessed! 😄

why is buying things in multiples sometimes cheaper than individually 🤔

I found a notepad (the physial one), it was like 8 bucks for 1 and 11 bucks for 5 lol
summer cedar
It's economies of scale.
They are already making a good profit when they sell those products, even at a big discount.
Emptying their inventories and manufacturing even larger batches - rinsing and repeating - is more money for them.
celest musk

true. but you can employ a useless (preferrably poor) relative with little to no pay, so long as you beat them properly.

Honestly not sure if someone is breaking benjamin or if benjamin is breaking everyone else with their songs 😆
graceful sequoia
The name originates from an incident in which [lead singer Benjamin] Burnley broke a borrowed microphone, prompting its owner to retort, "Thanks to Benjamin for breaking my fucking mic"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Benjamin
another interesting breaking benjamin fact: benjamin has tons of phobias (hence the album Phobia all about them), and one of them is the fear of flying
Burnley cites his fear of flying as for why he did not perform overseas, saying, "I'll go as far as a boat will take me", though at the time the band's record label had not facilitated travel by boat.

really if youre using C++ the way its meant to be used you shouldnt need interfaces anyways theyre kinda a solution of OOP languages which are lacking in declarative features
only reason we need em in BP is cuz its shit 😹

I interface my interfaces. Then I don't know what the absolute shit I'm doing. But really.... interfaces have their use, but referencing correctly can completely negate their use in blueprints.

I honestly dont get why people go nuts over how secure smart home appliances are. Like google/amazon already have this data. If you hack my security camera all your going to find is i have an addiction to watching the local feral cat through it. And that i typically keep my lights on the low side, my robovac is running around like twice a day to clean up after me, and my robomower is constantly getting stuck in potholes in my yard caused by the crap soil
All my data is already obviously being sold out there and short of hacking in just to annoy me and my cat by messing with my lights, which ill just disconnect in the first place..

is it even possible to have curves that can snap to a 50cm grid
Yes. and no. Not every point will follow the curve exactly if it snaps to the nearest point.
unborn lotus
hmm then the better question then is, how should curved rail segments be setup for UE - should I just disregard grid snapping and let it be?
quarter segments, ok, for tight turns, but then there are 10 degree angle turns
Hmm or maybe I should just make sure the ends land on the grid, even if they cannot make a circle
tulip orbit
probably read some of the factorio friday facts on their trains, might give you an insight

Just use the Trump method.
Get a sharpee and draw whatever curve you want. Use a different colour for the grids and adjust as required.

this is both awesome and makes me sad. I've been more hyped for this than any games since PoE first released.
but the fact they did this instead of doing a Bethesda or Activision and releasing it and then fixing it later (or get the public to fix it in Bethesda's case) makes me happy that I have called them the best game dev company for over a decade. Just an opinion, and Team 17 is obviously the best, there I said it.
summer cedar
It's good they did that. It'd be a shame to get review bombed because early access wasn't launched well, especially since it isn't free.
fathom wadi
it is free
summer cedar
No. You need to buy that supporter pack for early access.
fathom wadi
the early access requires you buy a supporter pack
thats free
you don't need to buy it. you can wait still
but everyone who got into the closed beta of the first one had to buy a £25 pack too
summer cedar
Yeah, and if they didn't launch well, they'd get criticised in the media... like Star Citizen.
So, good that they delayed it.
fathom wadi
See if this were just some random triple A game, I'd consider that as a paid version. Like with Overwatch 2. They had a pre-release pack but all it gave you want the battle pass and some currency. So you weren't buying anything except a battle pass. It was a rip off. PoE does it in a way you WANT to buy it.
The people in the community can be a bit toxic on a one-to-one basis, but it's one of the nicer communities in gaming in all honesty. They don't review bomb just to hate on the devs. Everyone respects them. Even when a league is bad. They have done very little to piss off the customers over the years. Perhaps 2 or 3 major nerfs that shut some builds down which annoyed ppl but that's gret for over 10 years.
summer cedar
My point was that it's good they delayed it, because if there were major bugs, they'd have to go through bad PR, especially because early access is paid.
That's how the public and media is, nowadays especially.
If you take a cent, they think you owe them the world.
Heck! Even if you do it free, they rake you over the coals. 🤣

Not surprising. I imagine it's not a thing everyone really looks at much.

fathom wadi
its not just the SDKs. It's people on different versions, with difference setups and code. Sometimes a parity error will occur and everyone thinks it's the same solution to fix. But sometimes it's not. Like reverting Win10 SDK isn't going to fix much, especially when code requires a version like it was pretty much fixed to do with UE4, and only had the expansive parity of backward compatibility with C++ versions and SDK support

Sorry! The Midjourney community voted to prevent using 'Donald Trump' and 'Joe Biden' during election season. what is this madness, Joe Biden aint even running

Having communities decide anything by vote is a terrible idea.
