Unreal Engine isn't even used for audio but Wwise

mild gust
#

Yeah I saw that

#

WwiseNiagara

median wraith
#

yep is on steam list too

mild gust
#

Uses UE 5.3.2

median wraith
#

I was close then

#

Wise provided compiled dlls, even if you didn't had the number, the dlls size and number should be exact on those cases, but if you have the number the better

mild gust
#

But packaged plugins have different file sizes

median wraith
#

and you can tell all models where imported inside the UE file system

mild gust
#

Yeah

#

.uasset

median wraith
mild gust
#

Tell that to runescape dragonwilds

#

Lol

#

Dlss plugins like 200kb

#

or some shit

#

Tell me thats real

median wraith
#

well you have dlss libs here too

mild gust
#

Fair

median wraith
#

maybe had support from nvidia directly ?

mild gust
#

Possibly

#

They also don't use all of dlss

#

Only 2 features

#

IIRC

#

Idk that was just what I found when data mining anyways was the plugins were a bit lighter than usual

median wraith
#

Nvidia splitted the plugins and redid the structure in UE5

mild gust
#

Yeah I saw that

#

with DLSS 4 or w.e

#

I think 3 was already in that direction

#

Also feel like they use nanite pipeline too

mild gust
#

Why would they use lumen without nanite

mild gust
#

Rats look wack

#

and the vram counter doesnt work at all

this game...

cursive crypt

Can always recognize the fc5 dlc, unique style

median wraith
#

isn't even a DLC

but a whole game

Enjoyed it overall. I have mixed curiosity about fc6 tho

#

Meet the dumbest deer in the world.

#

You hit them with a fire bolt / arrow and they will move exactly one meter away.

#

And then, stop.

#

NOT a joke.

#

Rinse and repeat.

#

Correction: If you get the distance right, they don't even run. You can just kill them sans reaction.

#

A welcoming ambience.

#

All that's missing is skeletons with biscuits and tea.

My fear of tight spaces came from elder scroll dungeons

The AI in the game is also probably from a dumb pack.

Yay! Creation Engine ftw! Game hanged on cell loading. 😄

Maybe it places all models in runtime

that could be interesting to see

reads the format from Bethesda and places it, could make sense to the missing particles

They looked better pre-remaster

I am not a dark elf, sirrah!

I am a RED elf, born of Ur mountain, scion of the holy Dagoth.

I saw an imperial guard literally descend halfway into the floor, before he laid down the next moment on a bed BEHIND the inn counter.

In the first cave fighting a gobo at the log scene I hit the logs and it flew up into the roof of the cave

Who told you to activate Super Saiyan mode?

mild gust
#

I can't help it

summer cedar
#

I think they can hotfix many of the issues, especially the AI. I really hope they do it. They've done a pretty good job with the atmosphere and graphics of the game.

#

BUT, because it's Bethesda ™️ , I bet the modders will carry the heft.

I am waiting for more important fixes.

All the stuff I've been complaining about.

Heck, I'll even settle for a fix to the lack of the most simple awareness in NPCs.

#

You can literally cheap shot everything without being attacked. 😒

#

Yeah things felt overly weak

So I wasn't crazy

I was tempted to crank difficulty up

#

The enemies don't even see you most of the time, unless you walk right up to them.

mild gust
#

Oh did you see this meme? 😂

summer cedar
#

Broad daylight, lamp light, torch light, whatever - doesn't matter.

#

Yes, that meme was on another server.

#

The Dalai Lama thankfully cancelled Vance's meeting with him.

#

Or so a guy on another server said.

mild gust
#

I heard that was fake news

#

Wouldnt surprise me if he did but

summer cedar
#

I figured it was a fun meme.

#

But, if there had been an actual meeting, he should've totally cancelled it.

My problem isn't so much the understanding, it's the gap between the bookwork and the actual application of the work as a solid skill

#

I can repeat any tutorial I have payed attention to and done at least twice but for software there's a disconnect in my brain for combining all the tutorials into a solid game

Nah. Todd is the best dev.

#

Zero marketing, zero hype. Remade an old game with same engine and UE mashed. Very positive reviews and lots of copies sold.

#

We need more Todd.

#

According to Polygon, 9.5 million copies have been sold as of two days ago.

Todd can make a souls-like then

No. God will only make Todd-likes.

And you will like them.

This is the law.

Do they have to be made for grandpas

Of course, the Grand Pass allows proper folk to access proper games without paying hefty plebian prices!

eww oled, thats the problem

Are you sure? The 4k oleds cause UE to render at higher resolutions and different color transforms, this may eat your ram.

my biggest issue with the oblivion remaster is that it's not morrowind.

The cynical part of me doesn't think it will make a difference.

At the end of the day what they did was illegal, even if for good reasons.

I've done something similar with Minecraft using websockets that talks to ue5. But the scope was much smaller

It's actually to scent enable Minecraft. We have a plug-in for unreal that talks to our scent hardware over ble. We do plan on releasing a mod to the public though one that's playable with or without the hardware.

Welcome to 2025 and the Elder Scrolls Oblivion remaster is about to be announced or released depending on whatever the whim of Todd Howard and Bethesda might be. (OK POST VIDEO UPLOAD YEAH THEY JUST RELEASED IT!!!!) So with Bethesda Softworks hard at work on something new I felt it was the perfect time for the spiffing brit to return to oblivion...

▶ Play video
cursive crypt
#

tl;dr (its fuckin 41 minutes, who has that time?!)

Juan Punch, a grotesque High Elf with 1 fatigue and the power to one-shot anything using a bizarre exploit.

He lowers his willpower (which affects fatigue and damage) to negative numbers using rare potions, then temporarily boosts fatigue with spells, causing absurd damage scaling. A scroll duplication glitch funds the entire operation.

Juan Punch starts weak but ends up killing Umbra, Mankar Camoran, and even Umaril — the game’s final bosses — in a single hit, proving once again that Oblivion is "perfectly balanced with no exploits."

summer cedar
mild gust
#

I was working on a landscape

Had sometime to kill

summer cedar
#

Like predicted (the most obvious), people are now starting to complain about the jank.

#

There's an article today about how Bethesda didn't improve DESPITE using UE.

mild gust
#

The dupe glitch still works

summer cedar
#

I doubt it's needed when no enemy poses a challenge.

#

They are all brain dead.

mild gust

Sniper build is probably easy mode.

Spiff plays a High Elf, too.

.exe file extension is a windows only thing innit? Which is why some programs have a windows, mac and linux download option

#

Different operating systems, different instructions needed yada yada yada

proud jay
#

well, it's a windows extension yes, but it's not just the extension that changes for different platforms

errant raven
#

Yeah that's what I thought

proud jay
#

like if you download an exe and change the extension to .deb, it's not gonna magically work on debian

errant raven
#

Theres atleast 90 people out there that I know exist who believe .exe can work on any OS

mild gust
#

I mean

#

There's emulators on other os's to run exes

#

On mac you can run wine

#

On linux you can run proton

proud jay

wine is linux

Well it also works on mac

Everytime I see a linux user they're complaining about something not working

If that was the case

They wouldn't have made the steam deck

Even WSL

errant raven
#

True true

mild gust
#

What a dumb meme

errant raven
#

Just a hunch

proud jay
#

well yes

#

but that didn't make the installation or running linux any different

errant raven
#

So it's easy for you to use

proud jay
#

depending on your distro you just run through an installer and that's it

#

how is it different than windows

mild gust
#

I have more issues with Windows

#

Than I do Linux

proud jay
#

like if you use Ubuntu you can be braindead and use it

errant raven
#

Only problem with windows is the activate windows watermark

mild gust

Your supposed to activate it

errant raven
#

proud jay

I was fine with windows, but win11 is just going more and more towards being ass

mild gust

Just wait till they force Microsoft Recall on us

cursive crypt
errant raven

And you click the video

thanks tho

errant raven
rare sparrow
# errant raven The hot key is the mouse

The point is I have a video which is 3 hours long and I'll be chopping it up in to hundreds of pieces. It'll be faster to use a hotkey while scrubbing the timeline rather than clicking the video and having to make sure the cursor is near enough to the playhead to slice it at the right spot every time

What happened to the arrow keys controlling the timeline in things

rare sparrow

oh yeah, this is great, I can drag the playhead around and use Ctrl+B while dragging it around to slice it up

errant raven
#

I overhyped subnautica up for myself

It's a terrible survival game, it's okay at best in everything else.

errant raven
#

No that one sucks

mild gust
#

It is what you make of it I suppose.

errant raven
#

Complicated and very grindy base building mechanics, very laggy in some places. And a lot of the map is locked behind pay wals

#

Very greedy game with lots of microtransactions

#

And the crafting system is also just as bad. Some resources are impossible to obtain

mild gust
#

You just gotta take what you want more

rare sparrow
errant raven
# mild gust You just gotta take what you want more

Imagine being a prey animal, or just a secondary feeder in an ecosystem. And here comes the apex predator of your ecosystem being really loud and announcing their presence. Youd most likely run the hell away immediately right?

#

Or find a nice hiding spot

#

The problem is, all the leviathans are set in place. They wont leave. So you can just avoid those areas. Plus they're constantly screaming so you know they're there. Not much of a problem really. It's not really fun, the secondary feeders in subnautica (stalkers, sand/bone sharks, amp eels) also constantly scream. No idea why. Gasopods and reefbacks do to, but they travel in packs, so they're social creatures that are just communicating with each other (I assume) so it's fine.

mild gust
#

Also imagine being able to hear a scream under water

#

Like it wouldn't be partially muffled

errant raven
#

Right

#

I've never seen any animal except my cousin be so damn loud when hunting for food

#

Even when you fish you gotta be somewhat quiet

#

Yet everything in this damn game is just roaring their heart out

#

No fuckin wonder why half of them are near extinction lore wise

tulip orbit
#

its a game, if they were all silent, the game would be so incredibly quiet

errant raven
#

Not really

#

Youd still have the sound of the waves crashing above

#

And actual sealife like the reef backs and gasopods (social creatures that travel in groups) making noise.

#

And the sound of you splashing around, the vehicles etc.

#

Greenhell is pretty silent, all you really hear are birds majority of the time. And the occasional Amazonian cannibal

tulip orbit
#

yeah, but having the other creatures having sounds helps the player know theres something nearby and gives them personality

#

shrugs off to work 😦

errant raven
#

It's a survival game, the point is to die sometimes

#

Survival genre = fuck around and find out

#

The shark in stranded deep doesnt constantly yell to let you know it's near.

#

Snakes in greenhell give a warning before striking (because they're rattle snakes, that's what they do irl aswell)

#

And they're fish. Not characters, why would they need personality.

#

They're not persons

#

Even then, theres other ways to tell the player than to ruin the immersion. You have a pda system that can obviously tell when leviathans are near, considering the message it tells you when you enter the sand dunes zone. Just have that play everytime you go into a zone with them.

Godot Epic Grant
Godot Engine received a $250,000 grant from Epic Games through their Epic MegaGrant program.
The grant was awarded to support open-source graphics software, with no requirement for it to be related to Unreal Engine.
Godot expressed the intention to use the funds to improve graphics rendering and the built-in game development language, GDScript.
The grant was announced in February 2020, and Godot had applied for it in the category of open-source graphics software.
This funding is part of Epic Games' $100 million fund aimed at supporting game developers, open-source projects, and others.

@broken sigil Haven't heard from you in a while. How's everything going?

median wraith
#

Oblivion Remastered does a good job in thoroughly modernising the 2006 visuals with the latest rendering technology - but the more you play, the more the experience is marred by excessively poor performance. The game has profound CPU problems that make a smooth experience on PC seemingly impossible - even on the most powerful hardware. Meanwhile...

#

I was expecting that hardware lumen were more performant?

#

there is something that don't look correct in the setup they did for lumen DF

summer cedar
#

On maximum quality settings, with DLSS Quality, and max raytracing, turning Lumen ON drains about 20 FPS.

#

That's on my 4060ti OC 16GB.

median wraith
#

how much vram this takes?

summer cedar
#

I don't remember, but I'll let you know next time. Not that much, I am sure.

#

I get 50-60 FPS indoors and in cities.

#

In rich forest areas, I get 30-35 FPS especially when it's raining.

summer cedar
#

Their advanced settings don't take effect and can't be changed. Beth said they're working on fixing that.

median wraith
#

back to what I said, I want to see The Witcher 4 running dense forests on this

#

the Kindom Come team said it was a nightmare for them

so they keep with Cryengine

summer cedar
median wraith

oh yeah watched on Twitter

#

actually I asked he if can animate those

#

technically nanite purpose is this

#

good thing about that is

#

there is no masked alpha

#

so no overdraw

#

technically don't count for the example I'm looking for, unsure if they will do trees like this

#

don't think so?

summer cedar
#

When we can make video games with 300 billion polygons, there won't be any need for 3D modellers.

#

Crap meshes made by AI will do.

median wraith
#

you are wrong on that

#

you will need modelers

summer cedar
#

To fix the crap meshes?

median wraith
#

well people that sculpt will keep doing their job

summer cedar
#

They will lose their jobs if we can achieve billion poly games properly. Because, you don't need refinement, optimisation, etc. etc.

#

Just get your games out and modders will fix.

#

God Todd has taught us well.

#

Take old game, remaster, keep same jank, don't fix anything - millions of copies sold.

median wraith
#

I mean, there is people that rather get some random item from the marketplace than getting a tech artist too

#

but you can tell on final products

summer cedar
#

Sure, you might keep one 'refiner' around, to fix the blemishes.

median wraith
#

maybe they don't get a modeler as know, but need a modeler for other elements

summer cedar
#

But, fire everyone else.

#

Just like many anime studios are doing now.

#

We will whip the few to do the work of the many, with AI.

median wraith
#

and by tech artist, many times people think of shader dudes or just people to fix others content

#

when actually you make dev tools etc too

summer cedar
#

I would say those guys have programmer roles.

median wraith
#

so some people get tools from market and don't hire them, meanwhile as on any other job, you can get a proper profesional and will be bettrr

summer cedar
#

But, I am sure AI will be able to do that too - soon ™️

#

Better is the enemy of money.

#

If I can shovel crap down customers' throat and take their money, many corps will go, "WHY NOT?"

#

Okay, to be fair, I say crap, but many of the inorganic meshes are not bad.

#

I tested a few 3D AI a couple of months ago, and the swords and furniture they created were fine.

median wraith
#

well, AI creates actually better organic nightmares videos

summer cedar
#

I haven't tested it with organic much. I tried meshly (that's the name, I think) once.

#

I didn't like the organic mesh, so I decided to go back after a year or so.

median wraith
#

this attention to the detail to create the stones bits exactly the same

summer cedar
#

They probably have the old meshes around.

#

It was a question of adding the necessary texture/model detail, I suppose.

#

🤣 I am saying 'old meshes', as if they have age.

ego makes you believe that you have more importance over your surroundings

your brain is just matter of flesh of atoms and fundamental particles

less cable bullshit 😄

it had the draconic reactor

i spend probably an hour on my first ender guardian fight

yea i think the output isn't that great actually

compared to mek with turbine

i just build it because it's kinda fun because it can blow up

graceful sequoia

yeah once you get to fusion, I had no want-- needed to go extra on everything to even come close to using it all

graceful sequoia

at some point I'll come back to my mod-- the unique thing about it was that it did remote machine control over cables

so, like, using a furnace from miles away

i did some modding back in 1.12 days

but then whole forge api changed and i screwed it

also my main focus was around opencomputers addons, which wasn't really ported, instead they went for a full rewrite

yeah nowadays with mojmap all the API's are official

celest musk

the new one is kinda cool tho, with a really linux like OS

no more forge-isms, now the API's are distinctly swedish
