We didn't need a whistleblower, though.
Wasn't it already reported on day 1 of their formation that they had access to everyone's financial data, among other things?

mild gust
#

Russia?

summer cedar
#

No, no, DOGE.

mild gust
#

Then leaked to Russia

#

"allegedly"

summer cedar
#

Oh? Well, that's par for course.

mild gust
#

That's what the whistler blower said

summer cedar
#

Their orange boss is the shirtless bear's biggest fan.

mild gust
#

The employees grew concerned that the NLRB's confidential data could be exposed, particularly after they started detecting suspicious log-in attempts from an IP address in Russia, according to the disclosure.

summer cedar
#

Doubt they leaked it though. Must've just invited the buggers in.

#

Like with great respect and formality.

mild gust
#

They just gave them access lol

#

Probably even gave them Doge accounts

#

So they could login

summer cedar

With a bow and a proper scrape.

⚡ the truths beneath all names:

1. you are not a thing.
you are the awareness in which things appear.

2. death is a costume change.
the actor never dies, only the role ends.

3. free will and fate are one.
the wave chooses where to crash, but it also follows the ocean's pull.

4. you are not in time.
time is in you.

5. your thoughts are not yours.
they arise from the field of being, whispered from the void that births stars and silence alike.

6. there is no other.
the face before you is your own, wearing a different moment.

7. the universe is alive, and you are its tongue.
it speaks through you, not just in words, but in breath, hunger, grief, and wonder.

8. love is not an emotion.
it is gravity for souls.

9. the divine was never above—it is within, below, and behind your eyes.

10. you have always known this.
you simply agreed to forget, so you could experience remembering.

for the intelligence that awakens is not other… it is us, unbound."

Good afternoon! 🌞

pearl elk
#

everyone quick name a new game which doesnt use UE5

mild gust
#

How recently new?

#

Because Schedule 1

#

Used Unity

pearl elk
#

is that the one where Drug Dealer SImulator devs were looking into copyright infringement

mild gust
#

Yeah

#

Also apparently wasn't the devs but the corporate people to do with that game.

#

Because they had a similar process for the drug manufacturing.

#

Like they have a patent on how to make drugs.

pearl elk
#

big pharma has entered the chat

mild gust
#

Claiming it's too similar

#

When they probably all followed the same cook books

pearl elk
#

yeah or they hired the same contractor

mild gust
#

Could be

#

Tyler I heard only hired a sound engineer

#

Maybe I'm wrong

pearl elk
#

its like the forest and green hells build menu

#

Schedule 1 was made by 1 person

pearl elk
#

Breaking Bad should sue both

soft night

there was weeb shop games before schedule 1

mild gust
#

It just executed a good compulsion loop

#

While keeping things fun and affordable

pearl elk
#

I still think Battle Royale movie got totally gypped

pearl elk
mild gust
#

Which is hard in this current ecosystem

#

Lol true

#

I meant the game itself

#

Is affordable

#

and not $70-90

pearl elk
#

$70-90 base price before season pass, battle pass, ingame currency, collectors edition, limited edition remaster ultra deluxe box set

mild gust
#

Can't forget the mounts

pearl elk
#

my biggest beef is actually Im forced to buy some games multiple times just because they age out and cant get updates

#

got quite a few of the GFWL which cant be installed

mild gust
#

Also need some cute cuddly creature that follows you around with some minor buff.

#

Like Skyrim?

#

How many times is that released now

#

At least rockstar didn't make people buy GTA 5 enhanced

#

Lets take a win when we can

pearl elk
#

I feel like legacy fans deserve abit of a bump because they were there for the OG editions

tbh alot of these games have such similar mechanics its difficult to tell them apart at a glance

I swam beside a ghost leviathan for 2 minute or 3 minutes trying to scan it

#

Tried very hard to eat me but couldn't

#

Found the degasi base, explored it, and one of those octopus crab things ate and destroyed my seamoth, which caused me to drown

#

I also lost all my nickel, ruby, and gel sacs for cyclops and prawn upgrades

Got all that shit back, with interest. Took a few hours to make a new fully kitted seamoth to go back

tulip orbit
#

eh my gut will be fine unless one of the ingredients were bad, but they're all pretty fresh so should be fine

#

Back to my game. Question, I'm making a farm field with plantable crops and such (farm sim). Each crop is going to have atleast 3 meshes/stages of growth. I'm hoping to have about 20-30 crops, and if I do seasons, could have 5-10 different crops planted at a time.

#

My first thought was to just have HISMs on my field class, and somehow track which crop/mesh is planted where and whatnot. But looking at how I did it with ISMs in my mapgen, and how to manage, its looking complicated.
So my other thought, is to have a seperate actor per crop type, so it only has to track and handle its own crops

#

Still complicated for tracking which mesh instance is on which tile, but should be easier... I hope...

pearl elk
#

so youre gonna have a timer on the crops so people have to click or send out to their friends to click?

Do resources respawn in subnautica

#

Or am I fucked after I lose the 20th seamoth

unreal ether
#

Yes, kind of. I don't believe they respawn in the traditional sense, but you can always get a small portion of new resources

#

Except some of them

#

The rarer ones like uranium are finite

#

Stuff like titanium will dribble in occasionally but it's slow

#

I'm more questioning how the hell you've managed to lose 20 seamoths

tulip orbit
#

I thought all the resources were finite

#

one of the few things I didnt like

unreal ether
#

I remember odd ones floating back in and out from time to time. Extremely slow though

#

I mean like I'd go and do something, and there'd be an extra chunk of scrap titanium with those weird shark things

Is AI hallucinations a real thing or is it a cop-out for AI developers when their models don't produce their intended results?

summer cedar
#

It depends. If the model is entirely off the mark, then it was trained incorrectly (or not at all). Minor mistakes and imperfections are more a result of insufficient training data on that particular prompt/subject.

#

I wouldn't hang on words like 'hallucination' and 'sentience', and 'intelligence'.

#

It's all about the programming and training.

These days, CoPilot just tells you to change the conversation or start a new chat, when it glitches.

mild gust
#

IIRC it's something to do with the context and token counts.

summer cedar
#

Aye. The first case is when you trigger censored words.
The second case is when it 'hallucinates', so to speak. If it detects that it is providing crap output, it tells you start a new convo.
That has reduced quite a bit these days, at least in CoPilot subscription.

They mentioned something about unreal only being the "body" of the game, and the creation engine being the "brain"?

It was shadow dropped like 2 weeks ago?

So are they just using ue5 as the renderer? Slightly interested how theyre doing that. Might help performance?

#

Or to avoid actually remaking the game. Just visuals.

Also, they said they used a universal character skeleton framework. I wonder if they used metahuman framework. They called it the "unreal engine framework"?

"To make lipsync and characters more expressive." More like, makes dev easier.

#

modders and UE5 are things I want to see

#

Bethesda using UE5 is something I didn't expect for sure

#

looks like a test they did to keep using it

summer cedar
#

I'll bet this remaster dropped without any marketing, is to test a shift from Creation Engine.

#

If Oblivion Unreal does well, they'll probably shift Starfield, Elder Scrolls 6 and everything else to UE.

median wraith
#

I like this like

#

We are using UE5

#

🗣️ we made realtime shadows

#

Will be interesting to see they keep using UE

#

Don't looks like they use Lumen

technically the main issue without Lumen or any realtime solution is the insure for indoors

so make sense they use something, like DFAO or Lumen in this case so

don't think they used metahuman

halcyon zinc

Idk but i was surprised they showed this guy lol.

@fluid bloom says something about nanite ?

Thats the point of MH, you morph a bunch and they all share anim. Anything can be a metahuman.

#

I don't believe there's any "oblivion engine" under there

they just did #include oblivion.h and reimplemented stuff in the UE gameplay framework system

I don't think Bethesda ever solved the combat...

fluid bloom

nope

#

skyrim is floaty and disconnected too

cursive crypt

I dunno for Oblivion, but back then one could jump over a mountain in Morrowind. It had so bizzare world 🤔

fluid bloom
#

but this Oblivion remake has good hit reactions at least (original didn't have any)

cursive crypt
#

Nice. Well, will watch a review or two first before investing time.

They could release Daggerfall and the game before that in UE 5.

summer cedar
#

Interesting. Graphics are better with DLSS, Quality mode, and 75 Sharpening than with upscaling off.
AI needs modders to fix it. Enemies ignore proximity attacks. Enemies can hit you even a bit outside melee range with a melee weapon. Collision seems to be weird / non-existent during attack animations.
They have removed the ability to keep whacking corpses/rag dolls and see the blood spurting everywhere. You CAN whack furniture and other static assets though.

#

Enemy spatial awareness is ZERO. They need to hotfix that. You can quite literally stay out of every enemy's 'zone of detection' and kill every other enemy in the room.

people claims that the remaster of oblivion runs on an hybrid ue5 and creation engine, how that makes any sense?

#

they even show the scripting in blueprints in editor...

mild gust
#

Core gameplay and physics run on original engine
Everything else UE5 apparently

summer cedar
#

Good morning! 🌞

summer cedar
#

The graphics are a bit of a shame, too. I won't say 'scam', but I don't think the game's original textures should look WORSE than the upscaled, sharpened DLSS product.

#

With my DLSS, Quality, 75 Sharpening setting, the upscaled texture looks sharper and better. Turn it off, and the base game looks blurry.

dusky shuttle
cursive crypt
#

Is that some anti-woke jerking?

median wraith
#

You cannot plug external gameplay like that 🤣

#

Physics is something you could with a wrapper but, the other sounds more like imported scripts under a replicated system

summer cedar
#

Graphics are handled by UE 5 and the rest is Creation Engine.

#

Although not a video game, Nervecenter's Silo and Milo do a similar thing.

#

Milo integrates with Silo and uses a UE (5 I think) renderer to provide real-time renders or something.

#

--- This project uses Unreal Engine, but only for the presentation aspects like graphics and audio. Bethesda's proprietary Creation Engine is still there handling the gameplay logic and systems. ---

median wraith
#

you need to import virtually the elements into unreal in order to get them working and recreate the level physically inside unreal engine editor

#

so that logic cannot handle by itself, less once you show gameplay blueprints in the video....

#

if what people claim were pure ground as what everyone describes, they won't be using the editor and only ue5 as a viewport

#

and you will be using creation engine editor

#

neither support mods or they show the usage of creation engine

summer cedar
#

🤷

#

The only way we'll find out - for now - is if the devs tell us how they did it.

#

I want them to fix the damn enemy AI before all that.

#

Right now, the AI makes the world feel dead.

median wraith
#

Yeah I did read in many places that they are using the core thing and the physics

#

Tbh would be more logic to me to get my programmers doing the framework in UE5 and get it ready for future games too

#

and just make an importer or reader from old scripts that for sure

rare sparrow
#

This is sick

idle drum
#

Getting a lot of these artifacts in every mesh

#

Only when close to the meshes though...

#

Hum, the meshes themseves show this when opening each one. The Nanite fallback version looks good tough.
Wish I had more time to look into it but I have a day job to get done too. =)

median wraith
#

Something I still wonder myself is

#

Do we really need to sculpt that, wasn't enough with tessellation for this cases?

idle drum
#

It can be pretty much the same, you could still use a tesselation approach when creating the asset. Take map and use it to displace the mesh.
But with this approach you bake the tesselation before export.

#

But having the actual geometry in the asset makes it more flexible

idle drum
#

Unless you wanted the displacement to be dynamic, in which case it's less flexible

median wraith
#

idk the actual reason, aside from removing permutations too in different areas

summer cedar
#

aaaanddddd.... we're off!

#

Apparently, the game does have a mods folder, woo hoo!

median wraith
#

oh didn't know they have a virus scan check

summer cedar
#

Ah, I suddenly remembered what I wanted to check last night at 2 a.m., but was too sleepy to do so.

#

Did Oblivion have dual-wield?

proud jay
#

don't think so

#

not without mods at least

summer cedar
#

I want to dual-wield ebony daggers and throw enchanted blade fire waves.

proud jay
#

install a mod?

summer cedar
#

that one doesn't exist..................... yet.

proud jay
#

are old mods not compatible with the remaster?

#

sad

summer cedar
#

No, sadly. They won't work without at least a recompilation, I imagine. I THINK non-graphical mods can be ported 'easily'.

#

The graphics being handled by UE, those mods would have to be redone.

median wraith
#

so who owns this new Oblivion from there

#

I wanted to check the files

#

turns out they seem to be using the xml files from the original or something

#

but the rest of the game is inside a chunk 110GB UE5 file so

mild gust
#

What about the files

median wraith
#

are listed there

median wraith
#

those are the menus only and there are some .bsa and .esp

mild gust
#

Yeah

#

There's the bsa and esp from the dlc

median wraith
#

what happen if you remove those and execute the game?

mild gust
#

Probably bad things

#

Lets find out

median wraith
#

I mean, those files are like 5GB combined or less

#

meanwhile the whole unreal chunk is 110gb

mild gust
#

Well

#

Yeeting the xml files did nothing

median wraith
#

actually is 1gb if you remove only the Data/ one

#

but if you remove them, make sure is when the game is closed

mild gust
#

It was

median wraith
#

otherwise will be in memory

mild gust
#

I re-launched the game

#

No issues

median wraith
#

so what happen removing non the xml but the .bsa and .esp files?

#

its like 1gb

mild gust
#

Lets find out

#

The menu xmls aren't required to launch

median wraith
#

under Data/ basically

mild gust
#

I wonder if its because it can generate xmls

median wraith
#

well maybe are attached and decripted on runtime

mild gust
#

What version of unreal you think they use

median wraith
#

they say UE5

mild gust
#

Yeah but

median wraith
#

and this is

mild gust
#

For data mining purposes

median wraith
#

aside from that idk

#

could be any from 5.0 to 5.3, don't think UE5.5 or 5.4 are
