60 fps is gated for Patreon members.

#

Sounds like a Nintendo nightmare

summer cedar
#

Yeah, but it's just a section of the game. It'll probably be let off as mere fan art or whatever.

mild gust
#

Just google Nintendo sues fans art and there's plenty of examples.

#

They sue for fan art plenty.

@summer cedar https://store.steampowered.com/app/1691340/STEEL_HUNTERS/
did you play that already?

After a cataclysmic event, Hunters were created by mankind to safeguard the collection of an extraterrestrial resource crucial to human survival, known as Starfall. Driven by ruthless factions, these fearsome mechanical giants have now become the key to dominate the scarce resource across the ruins of a green but abandoned Earth.…

seems to be an UE5 game

summer cedar
#

No. I kind of avoid online games.

#

Once the initial euphoria subsides, they almost always turn out to be grind fests.

celest musk
#

i'll give it a shoot now... seems to be only 35GB

summer cedar
#

That's actually a nice size. Might be well-optimised.

celest musk
#

well, it's early access

#

and F2P, so most stuff might be cosmetic DLCs which are separate Shrug

#

15GB download only

#

I did it guys. my brain hurts but ladders work

celest musk
#

who's gonna tell him?

unborn lotus
#

tell me WHAT

woven wing
#

Sometimes I lay awake at night thinking

#

"how the heck do you pair a ladder with an animation"

#

Do you use attachment points for the hands and feet and IK? Do you import the ladder and author the animation based on that?

unborn lotus
#

no no, I had the animations and the matched ladder already. after the hard logic parts now putting the pawn in position should be easy

celest musk

so that Steel Hunters is actually kinda fun

summer cedar
#

what did you like the most about it?

celest musk
#

oh cmon... it's Mechs... what's not to like about that already? 😄

summer cedar
#

Fair.

celest musk
#

it already feels kinda polished

#

pickups have an annoying small hitbox tho and you have to focus them

summer cedar
#

I got that impression from the client size.

#

Unpolished UE games are like 20000GB.

celest musk
#

and the destruction system looks kinda neat

#

the mech is pretty much a walking tank

#

so it's hard to find solid cover, since most stuff can be destroyed

#

and it looks like Lumen to me, nice to get 60fps there

#

currently there's only last man standing tho

#

apparently always ~6 teams of 2 players

I hope it remains enjoyable.

Lets see if that fixes it

Is it fixed?

Uh sorta

Still can't search anything but I am no longer looping

#

Maybe fab is dealing with a lot of traffic

#

Because it's not on my end 🤷

#

Literally nothing going on, on my network

summer cedar
#

It's computing too many tariffs.

I didn't hit accept

Gotta charge the right % per country, per asset, per artist.

Unbelievable

Welp we back to the loop again

I love fab so much

That's why we need 30TB HDDs.

And then, destroy our own computers.

So annoying lol

I literally just wanted to go test something

and it fucking bugs out

Like wow

summer cedar
#

Can't you use something from your asset folder, instead of Fab?

mild gust
#

Not if I don't have said asset

summer cedar
#

Dang.

mild gust
#

If I try to download from browser sends me to launcher

#

That works sure

#

But quixel isn't there

#

At least not all of them

summer cedar
#

Oh, you want a megascan?

mild gust
#

Yeah I saw something in #ue5-general about quixel and was going to see myself

#

Then my fab broke entirely on me too

#

Maybe reinstall fab

#

🤷

#

Not sure what else to try atm

#

Deleted all local temp files on my pc pertaining to unreal that weren't install files so

#

and closing unreal keeps giving crash reports

#

Keeps getting better

summer cedar
#

Tell me the name of the megascan you want.

#

I'll check it on my end.

mild gust
#

Not even so much the megascan at this point Unreal became unstable now

#

So this is fun

#

Just verifying files now

summer cedar
#

Ok, I tried adding Furniture Textile Megascan to my repository.

#

Successful.

#

I think there might be some kind of network problem in that region of the world. North Koreans attacking maybe.

#

Give it time and come back to it later.

summer cedar
#

🤣 The 'perform same action on subsequent files' is disabled.

#

So, now I have to click YES and IMPORT for EVERY single asset in my asset repository project. 😄

#

I should ask Epic to buy me a new mouse. 🐭

mild gust
#

Use keyboard?

summer cedar
#

Does not accept Y for yes.

#

Enter might work. But keyboard is more expensive than mouse.

mild gust
#

Lol

#

Get some cheap dollar store mouse

#

Use that for all the meaningless actions

#

Save good mouse for important work

Clicky, clicky, clicky...

I had like 3 G502s because they were comfortable mice. Gave them to my brother because I ended up liking small mice more

I swear they were always on sale for like $30 so I'd pick up another spare

I had thought about buying a backup Ant E-Sports mouse (which is what I use now), but Amazon delivers in 24-48 hours here.

I prefer my super cheap non-screen one

summer cedar
#

Do you mean a drawing monitor?

woven wing
#

Yeah, pretty much

summer cedar
#

Ah. I love my Gaomon PD drawing monitor.

woven wing
#

I could understand how artists find it better since they're probably more comfortable with the whole looking at where you're drawing

summer cedar
#

repost!

#

Yeah, it's way more comfortable for sketching than a non-screen tablet.

#

Plus, as Lucifer said, once you get proficient, it's pretty good for 3D and input tasks, too.

woven wing
#

I'm so much more comfortable with the whole mouse + screen thing where my hand does it's own thing and I'm concerned about the cursor on the screen

summer cedar
#

We are all subject to our conditioning.

We are Borg.

Of a sort....

It also depends on the software. Krita is superbly built for using tablets. Works very well with them.

But, I wonder if Blender would be so obliging, in and outside of sculpt mode.

Like 9 months ago I was working on fish sims

After seeing what you can do when working with ECS and data oriented design, OOP feels dumb

This is why I love I love make game so much

But it was probably around 100k

Yeah, gpu sims can get crazy

Ps4 and xbox one has hardware limitations that caused 7 days to die and greenhell to stop receiving updates that the series X and ps4 get, along with pc

mild gust
#

Yeah because they don't have enough memory no?

#

To handle the new level generation or w.e they added

#

"Allegedly"

errant raven
#

Meanwhile ps4 can handle much much more intensive games... does hardware limitation code for we suck at optimizing so well just use consoles with better hardware to mask that

#

Greenhell has always ran like shit

mild gust
#

Not sure that's a good thing

errant raven
#

There's something about survival games that always cause them to run poorly the longer the saves been played

mild gust
#

Probably the procedural generation?

errant raven
#

Greenhell isn't procedurally generated

#

It's a fixed map

mild gust
#

You mean to tell me they didn't use anything procedural to generate anything on that map.

errant raven
#

However that is a problem with 7 days to die random gen map

mild gust
#

When so much of it is seen floating lol

errant raven
#

Trees, plants, animals. Yes

mild gust
#

Just because it's not based on a seed or generated every play through

#

Doesn't make it not procedural

#

They most definitely didn't place every tree

errant raven
#

Just the ones you cant chop down

#

Story related trees

mild gust
errant raven
#

It only generates new stuff if you leave the chunk or sleep

mild gust
#

@summer cedar Are you ready to wield the sword?

mild gust
#

Just cut stumps and nothing comes back

errant raven
#

Generation isn't even the problem

mild gust
#

Why not

errant raven
#

Its player created things

#

Like cooking pots.

mild gust
#

What

errant raven
#

I can easily find the direction of my base from very far away because it starts lagging like crazy when I look in the direction of the fire pit . distance doesn't seem to matter which means its rendering that chunk constantly even when not visible

mild gust
#

Which we all know is baaad

errant raven
#

7 days to die looks like a much different game on pc tho

#

Good look it looks amazing on pc

mild gust
#

Still runs like hot garbage

#

Even with a team of 100+ devs

errant raven
#

They should optimize and let modders make new content

mild gust
#

Modders make plenty

#

They even make darkness falls

#

a complete rework on the game

errant raven
#

How many people on pc play games without modding

mild gust
#

That makes it tolerable

errant raven
#

Especially given how easy steam makes modding

mild gust
#

Some games disable stuff like achievements now if you mod

#

Because "cheaters"

#

Even if it's just some silly survival game

errant raven
#

Who really cares about achievements

mild gust
#

Apparently some people

errant raven
#

Most games these days have shit achievements

#

Bring back the days of gears of war achievements

errant raven
#

You just play the game casually and you can get all achievements

#

Till this day I haven't unlocked the kill 1,000,000 locusts achievement

#

Or was it 100,000

mild gust
#

Probably both

#

One on a different game

#

So much so people made a guide to cheeseball the achievement

It's the chapter where you're riding on the thingy that dizzy is driving

"I should make this a plugin so I can easily port it to my actual game"

Made it a plugin, now it takes like 45 seconds to port to a new project!

Add a mass entity, put my fragments on it, automagically works

Yup, I did that with my inventory system and my map gen system. Tho neither are setup as well as they could be for seamless integration, both require some setup

but still, sooo much easier

mild gust
#

Map gen 😮

tulip orbit
#

yeah, its nice but it has a loot of issues and limitations, things I havent figured out yet

#

sad thing is, I was looking thru an older project, and it felt more complete and closer to being a game than any project I've done since.... and the art for the map I think was nicer...

#

makes me sad 😦

woven wing
#

Gamejams op

#

You get to make a whole game

#

And because your challenge is "finish this in X time" instead of "figure out how to build something"

#

You get the dopamine when you finish, instead of like "ahh, all of my systems work now, time to quit"

for me its "ok the base systems are in place.... now what?" then get hit with depression and distract myself with a purchased game for a while, then start a new project

In Blueprints if you don't add manually the components in the BP, they will never show in shipped game @celest musk

that's maybe because is fixed?

what?!

so you are saying that you can't add components on runtime?!

In C++ only for the Constructor from what I know

in runtime yeah sure you can

in both, after the play

i'm still not understanding what the 3rd, not working, way of adding components is

you can add them in C++ in the editor

I'm starting to understand why people use state trees instead of like yoloing it

whats wrong with yodelling?
