on the edge of breaking

[indigo scroll]

Do you recommend any unreal engine books?
What about these 2, are they worth reading?
Li Z. – C++ Scripting C++ Gameplay
Butler S. – Patterns

[cursive crypt]

I don't know what is the 2nd book, but the first appears kinda of way too small. First question is, do you need to learn c++ too? You don't need it for UE in general. Then, I haven't really heard of good books for UE. You may be better off just by launching some official tutorials/videos and follow them.

[queen isle]

morning

[indigo scroll]

cause im going to the beach and was thinking of grabbing one of these you know

🏖️ 🍹 ☀️

[cursive crypt]

Enjoy the beach, I'm just not sure that book is worth its money. Like at all. You can always watch clips or learn from free sources which will be better. You may ask also on #ue5-general or so for books, if you desire paper.

[proud jay]

you can make a generic system yourself quite straigthforward

at least in c++

[pearl elk]

Im not sure a UE book is beach attire

[proud jay]

I'm not sure if a useful UE book exists

[soft night]

monsy book of Unreal calamaries

[pearl elk]

How To: Swim with the fishes

[proud jay]

at least people won't question why your skin is the same color as the paper

[cursive crypt]

I think such book is unreal

[pearl elk]

best book to read on the beach

[fleet tangle]

What about in the sea?

[median wraith]

I don't get the people that goes with 40c at the sun to read

[pearl elk]

Id just end up with book shaped tanlines on my boobs 😹

[median wraith]

wondering from where this boat could be from

[fleet tangle]

Australia?!

[pearl elk]

that boat is clearly carrying the entire population of England

[median wraith]

4 bus waiting here

[median wraith]

almost there

[pearl elk]

it was so odd, I went to this DnB gig the other night and there was a dude that looked like Tim Sweeney

but I knew it wasnt him because of the shoes

[median wraith]

"21 bars and restaurants"

just why

[pearl elk]

because 22 is just too many

[queen isle]

has everyone ever reddit-ed more

[unreal ether]

"What makes you the best candidate for this role"
"Per all my upvotes, you can clearly see I would be the best choice for this job"

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/doctor-eggman-sandwich-sonic-stand-up-eat-gif-17584592

[summer cedar]

OR "No one else is willing to work for the crap pay you are doling out. So, when do I start?"

[indigo scroll]

yeah its like reading a book on how to breakdance

well

but you know, after you worked and know unreal engine overall, reading a book on it could help cement some stuff

since i spend many hours at the beach

sometimes i go to the water, then go for a run

then it doesnt hurt to read some random stuff about unreal

i love the beach but it gets boring fast

[fleet tangle]

UE has docs?

[errant raven]

Never been

You can swim under the entire subnautica map

[celest musk]

isn't that the point of the game?

[errant raven]

No, the point is to swim in the map

Not under it

Out of bounds

[indigo scroll]

Now to piss you all off even more. I converted the Butler S. - Game Development Patterns with Unreal Engine 5 (2023), to audiobook using BAlbakoa, so i can listen to it while im chilling at the beach or running.
Now what ur gonna say? 🤨

[stable gull]

is that an ad

[cursive crypt]

nah, just an way to feel better imo
These books are sus af but I may be wrong 🤷‍♂️

[indigo scroll]

you mean its like a cope 😵‍💫

[stable gull]

i recall people saying books don't work for unstable tech that well, and most software stuff is highly unstable and changing

[cursive crypt]

Add into that and hyped engine and ppl scoring some money out of it

But a good book still can be useful, there are so many web sources with good info

[stable gull]

now I don't use unreal anymore but i think epic made a place with video tutorials officially

[indigo scroll]

thats a good point. though i think learning medieval italian, will still make you good at modern italian. i have here a c++ book from 1999,
and still find it useful

[stable gull]

I think most programming languages count as fairly stable

unless it's anything to do with the web

[summer cedar]

What else is new? 😄

[proud jay]

tbh I do believe majority of people saying free palestine are just saying it cause it's the thing to do and they're the uderdog and they don't even know what the conflict is about

not that I don't have anything against palestinians

I just feel the movement has become detached of the cause

[open fog]

Some people, but how different is that from western states convincing the public that disliking Likud party = hating Jews?

People just ate that up

[fleet tangle]

Nothing wrong with Palestinians, it's Hamas that's the issue.

[mild gust]

You can thank people like Hasan for diluting it.

and making other things attached to the issue.

[open fog]

Someone needs to resist, you can't expect the people who fill that vacuum to be perfect

[stable gull]

I just think all the people saying free Palestine are being paid to say it

[mild gust]

At this point same

It's a movement

Just like LGBTQ+, antifa, etc

Hopefully enough to afford lawyers

[stable gull]

antifa? what's that? what did i miss?

[mild gust]

Just another radicalized movement

Left-wing anti-fascist group

Basically a counter to proud boys

or the KKK

[proud jay]

wait, I didn't mean to double negate that sentence lol

[proud jay]

disliking the what

[mild gust]

Birds of a flock, and that of the sort. People with like minded ideas stick together.

So they can be stronger.

[stable gull]

i stay away from rhe internet for a while and there's something new. I remember all of a sudden everyone seems against boeing the plane makers

[open fog]

The Likud party

[mild gust]

and planes in general maybe

Due to all the crashes lately

[proud jay]

don't forget they also make space ships|

[stable gull]

i think humans just like to form tribes or be a part of something

[proud jay]

they don't work, but they do make them

[stable gull]

spaceX?

[mild gust]

Relgion is proof of that

[stable gull]

sheesh

[proud jay]

no, boeing

[mild gust]

SpaceX just goes boom

[stable gull]

even things like software preferences can turn people into groups

[mild gust]

StackOverflow even

[stable gull]

i did not know that at all

[mild gust]

Which things turned into sort of a cult like following

[stable gull]

stackoverflow added a cloudflare check-up screen and now asking ai my dumb questions is faster than stackoverflow

[mild gust]

So true lol

It's trained on stack overflow anyways

Most of them are

[proud jay]

they sent up astronauts up supposed to be for like 2 weeks, but the ship failed after arrival and they were stuck there for 10 months and eventually spacex retrieved them

[stable gull]

wait i think i did hear that news, i didn't know boeing was involved

[open fog]

Too much profit involved = corner cutting imo
During the space race it was more like, rushing stuff to prove uncle Sam had bigger pp than russia

[mild gust]

Like this?
https://www.space.com/space-exploration/international-space-station/the-iss-has-been-leaking-for-5-years-nasa-and-russia-disagree-on-how-to-fix-it

They can't agree on how to repair it so maybe they eventually just disassemble.

[soft night]

that is why international space station need on multinational committee

[stable gull]

my opinion on how horrible humans as a species are, keeps getting worse with time

[mild gust]

Make talks about it part of the UN

That's because your feed is tailored to you.

[mild gust]

Now watch cat AI slop videos for a week

and you'll see the difference

[broken sigil]

Ngl I'll sometimes rather watch ai slop than human produced slop currently plaguing YT

[soft night]

or deja generated things

[mild gust]

Have you been following stop killing games at all?

[broken sigil]

I've seen some of it
I'm mostly for it but there are issue many games won't be able to solve because they can't function without the online aspect, which the initiative doesn't account for

[mild gust]

I think the first step is just to get the attention of the legal system.

More can come later

[mild gust]

My main issue with games nowadays is companies like Ubislop and blizzard that have terms which say they can remove our license at any time for no reason. Just because they choose. With little to no warning.

[mild gust]

If a music publisher or a movie studio did that there would be backlash.

That’s cause it’s garbage

Also, zoomers don’t know how to use a computer

Already 24 degrees outside

Gonna be 35 today

End me

[summer cedar]

Good morning! 🌥️ ☕

Yo!

[mild gust]

What's cracking

[summer cedar]

I am installing Little Nightmares 2.

I've never been much of an adventure games guy after growing up, but let's see if this horror gem is worth it. 😄

[mild gust]

Heard good things

Always seemed more like a game I'd enjoy watching not playing

A bit slow paced

[summer cedar]

And installing Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Interestingly, it's only 35GB. Call of Duty WW2 is 145GB 🤮

I guess WW2 really was a large affair. 🤣

[mild gust]

Don't you have to download shaders each load too?

So you don't even get the full download lol

[summer cedar]

download shaders? not sure. I know some games have 'compile shaders' thingy.

But that's like quite small, I think. Less than 2GB or 1GB.

It was nice of NVidia to add that 'cache storage' feature to their graphics settings.

Now, you can basically tell the computer to keep like 20GB worth of shaders on the drive.

[proud jay]

my back

from carrying this heavy ass baby all day

[proud jay]

it's pretty nice

[mild gust]

Need one of those baby cradles

[summer cedar]

I thought he had already graduated university and got a job.

Why are you carrying him around?

[proud jay]

this baby doesn't want to sleep unless someone is holding him pretty much

and even ten

he sleeps very little during the day

normally a newborn sleeps like 16-18 hours per day

I doubt ours even gets to 9

baby just took a giant shit on my lap lol

so happy diapers exist

[summer cedar]

You should let him read the .PDF on toilet etiquette.

like, with an e-ink screen for safety.

[median wraith]

It have way more content

[summer cedar]

Well, yes. WW2 did cover quite a bit of the world.

[median wraith]

Black Ops 3 is older I think

is 200GB

[summer cedar]

🤮

[median wraith]

with all the DLCs

aka maybe 60maps in total

so yeah expect them all with baked light

[summer cedar]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/amd-researchers-reduce-graphics-card-vram-capacity-of-3d-rendered-trees-from-38gb-to-just-52-kb-with-work-graphs-and-mesh-nodes-shifting-cpu-work-to-the-gpu-yields-tremendous-results

w00T! 👀

@bitter bison ^

[bitter bison]

Yeah, I posted it on #hardware a few days ago

Hopefully AAA games will be within 8gb of Vram so Nvidia doesn't have to make higher capacity

[summer cedar]

So, the key here is to use work graphs instead of mesh nodes?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZlJ4bHx1OQ

The video, for whoever wants to watch it directly.

[cursive crypt]

irc, carrying around feels nice for them because how it is closer to how it felt in the womb.

[mild gust]

https://www.livescience.com/health/viruses-infections-disease/new-viruses-identified-in-bats-in-china

Stay safe from the bats

[mild gust]

Also a git replacement maybe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZqFaMlufDY

[proud jay]

corona 2?

[proud jay]

I'll believe it when I see it

[mild gust]

Same

[proud jay]

I don't think git is going anywhere

[mild gust]

https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj

Starring for future

[mild gust]

Even Linus says it has issues so who knows

Maybe everyone will abandon it one day

[proud jay]

I'm doubtful

git's been there for 20 years

pretty much in the same state it is now

plenty of others have tried

it would have to be significantly better at everything, but still support all the same things to have a chance at success

[mild gust]

and cobol is like 60 years old

Which is being replaced more and more

[proud jay]

cobol still being used though

[mild gust]

For now

Replace it w/ brainfk

[proud jay]

also the fact that it's built by google is more of a downside to me

cause they're known to randomly kill shit

[mild gust]

But it's open source

What can go wrong

Someone can just fork it

[proud jay]

remember when Carbon killed c++?

[mild gust]

and make a new version

Without their bs

[proud jay]

I haven't watched the video yet btw

I'm in a meeting lol

[mild gust]

Enjoy meeting

I'm just doing more SKG stuff

Gotta do a bit more to feel I helped lol

[proud jay]

what's skg?

[mild gust]

Stop killing games

Basically a movement to prevent what happened to The Crew to happen again

Because companies like Ubisoft/ Blizzard have TOS that say they can disable and revoke license at anytime for any reason.

We will own nothing and be happy.

[proud jay]

what stuff are you doing?

[mild gust]

Finding youtubers to talk to that havn't talked about it

and I made a post in epic for indies discord earlier

[mild gust]

Especially gamers that may be allies in the EU and UK

[proud jay]

you're not trying to convince axis powers?

[mild gust]

Eh can only say so much to some people

Someone like Jason Hall just has their own idea of what the movement is and won't listen to anyone else.

[proud jay]

I think the idea is good

idk if the wording is good

but I guess that's up to the lawmakers

which luckily all understand the games industry in much detail of course

[mild gust]

Part of the battle is just getting the lawmakers attention

Right now they could care less about games.

or software as a hole really

Pretty un-regulated in many regards.

[proud jay]

is this a new thing software as a hole?

SaaH?

[mild gust]

Lol no

But I'm sure if we protect games we will be able to protect stuff like lifetime licenses for things like teamviewer next.

It at the very least is a step in the right direction for software preservation.

Sure systems change, but there was a youtuber I saw recently who was porting newer apps to windows 95 so when people say we can't it's just further proof that it just takes people wanting to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxdn30G2LE8

[proud jay]

ah so you mean whole

[proud jay]

it's not "because they can't" most of the time

it's because doing so costs money

[mild gust]

This happened recently also, which is why I brought it up. https://consumerrights.wiki/Teamviewer_Terminates_Perpetual_Licenses

[mild gust]

When they tell the community it's in their hands now?

Plenty of games run off stuff like Hamachi

or GameRanger

So devs don't need to run "servers"

Like all these people keep repeating

[proud jay]

that's where the whole "playable state" comes into question

what is considered playable

I'm all for letting people self host servers though

[mild gust]

Vampire the masquerade on steam. "cough"

Unplayable

At least was without mods

[proud jay]

I wonder how it works if a game is "deprecated" in favor of a newer version

[proud jay]

e.g. overwatch 1 dying cause of overwatch 2

[mild gust]

Then there's games like Concord

[proud jay]

it would be nice to let people run OW1 themselves

[mild gust]

That had a niche following but DOA

[proud jay]

but clearly that's also shooting yourself in the foot as developer

so to me it's not as straightforward

[mild gust]

Maybe players could find a way to make it work

[mild gust]

They also killed OW2 by locking most things behind pay walls

Should have done what Marvel Rivals did

[proud jay]

I think having an incentive to let you own the games you buy is more important than keeping all games alive

instead of it just being a license that can be revoked at any time

[mild gust]

Like if I spend $100 on something

I want to keep it

Not risk losing it in 1-2 years because a company goes under

[proud jay]

even if you put the onus on the user to back up the data themselves I think it would be a great improvement

[mild gust]

I lost Kingdom Under Fire 2

Because devs decided to shut it down

Spent $140 on that

[proud jay]

well that's on you tbh

[mild gust]

Yeah for sure

[proud jay]

who spends 140 dollars on a game

[mild gust]

It was a deluxe edition

I wanted the extra

Not the point

I could have got the cheap one

and still lost it

Finally finished the tool! dammit

[summer cedar]

Well done! 🙂

[proud jay]

you finished a hammer?

[summer cedar]

Probably the anvil too.

[median wraith]

More like this as my friend says:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Swiss_army_knife_open_20050612_(cropped).jpg

Or this, as that one don't have enough tools:
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71o7irKFx7L.jpg

[summer cedar]

What does your tool do, by the way?

[median wraith]

Import instances from Blender or any 3D tool
Create random/semi procedural instances in the editor too

As fast resume, will have todo many videos

Can create instances, non instances, niagara instances, particles, decals, actors...

bet you can combine those with the motion tools

originally was BP only and the tools had like 1/5 of now, now everything is C++

[summer cedar]

Intewesting.

[mild gust]

Got SKG on my website now

Okay I did my part to feel I helped now

[median wraith]

SKG ?

[median wraith]

The tools include random per box area, random per sphere area with options to chance per axis radius and hollow areas, spline with options to choose per distance, per number, per dot and options to change the cylinder radius bias with hollow option

https://tenor.com/view/stonks-meme-gif-16107418

[summer cedar]

So, it will spawn the mesh in that box area or along the spline, in as many instances as we want?

[median wraith]

sub children instances of instances and location, rotation, scale random per range or random per list

yeah

and you define the spline

[summer cedar]

coool!

[median wraith]

not only meshes, you can do decals, or actors

or actual particles instances inside a niagara or whole niagara systems

I came crazy doing this

[summer cedar]

Sounds good. How much?

[mild gust]

Stop Killing Games

[median wraith]

ohhhhh

[median wraith]

How much you think it is ?

[summer cedar]

I didn't develop it. How can I calculate the sale price?

I'd be comfortable anywhere between $20 and $30, honestly.

[median wraith]

Originall was 19$ now is 59$ // 189$ for studios

[summer cedar]

Assuming the documents are good and tutorials are nice, and it works well in a published project, etc. etc.

I've already purchased three tools for those prices.

[median wraith]

the price you pointed or

[summer cedar]

$30.

[median wraith]

I didn't found any tool that can do this all tbh

I know one that's aboout 100$ and is per year

the 30$ ones I found in the marketplace are far from this

[summer cedar]

Only you can decide the price that's good for your work.

[median wraith]

I mean was 2 months of work and is all C++

[mild gust]

Rotoscope?

[median wraith]

the ones in the marketplace are no C++ or the C++ only covers like the headers

[mild gust]

Oh nvm

No one has made one yet

[summer cedar]

That's all good, but your individual customers won't be concerned about all the details. They'll be looking at - 'Oh look! It works. I like it. Good price.'

[median wraith]

I had the idea to set like 49$ rather than 10 more but I mean this is powerful and takes a lot to get all features so I feel like its a decent price

[summer cedar]

Studios and teams will care about the details, of course.

[median wraith]

well if you don't care about details sure you can get a BP one then

[summer cedar]

🤷

[mild gust]

Is it out yet or still drafting?

[median wraith]

is on itch with request (until finish the docs), but getting the docs to push to Epic FAB

[mild gust]

Get gippity to help w/ docs

It's been getting better at documentations

[median wraith]

@summer cedar this one for example: https://www.fab.com/listings/4761cc4a-be25-4035-a3f8-de9c6e2a7af3 it's like just the unreal importer and it's 72€

Technically my importer isn't that cool but hey

I could consider reduce the price 10$ but will see what the people thinks

[summer cedar]

I would skip it. That's not in my price range.

[median wraith]

Right, there is a point where you can make interesting for the common public and other whats fair and there is a nother whats fair for the specific public

another thing is you don't really know what nightmares or things those tools does under the hood

But usually you can do sales so make happy both

[summer cedar]

The tools I buy on Gummyroad, or whatever it's called, have multiple tiers for that reason.

[pearl elk]

whatever happened to Craig, he used to be all this stuff now its all Gum

GumTrees, GumRoads, GumBalls

[proud jay]

people pay 100 dollars to spawn a mesh in a box?

I need to start making plugins

bro doesn't know its place

[median wraith]

Yeah I did the same for Itch

Gumroad is kinda hard at this point to find anything

aside if you get a direct url

another thing I could do is provide the packaged version without sources and cut almost a 50% in price

but for my that's kinda bad idea as consumer

but someones does

[proud jay]

why would you do that

[median wraith]

I wonder the same

but some people told a FAb creator to, so idk if is doing it or not

also there are "not that legal" tools at Itch

selling their close source plugins for UE

as cannot pass the EULA of Epic

[errant raven]

I hate ai because of this

Its 2025 and people still dont know how to center divs

[proud jay]

do you?

[errant raven]

Yeah

You just keep tweaking pixel by pixel until its centered. Duh

[median wraith]

Isn't like that lol

It's a multi tool thing for anything related, non just spawn things etc

is probably the most complex one, have a painter too and such

That maybe takes 1 year of development isn't a good deal if you don't sell well

And isn't on the marketplace I think

but you have reactive water systems on the marketplace only for like 120€ starting license

[proud jay]

maybe 1 year for you maybe 2 days for me

[median wraith]

They are about put a law that you cannot drive alone in your own car

So positions are open to have couple

[errant raven]

Why

[median wraith]

because they say is bad for the enviorment

[errant raven]

And then people just get someone to tag along just to run to gas stations and such

I dont think it should count when it's being influenced by abnormal things like heatwaves and the like

Exactly

Horseshoe crabs laugh at us

mainly because it cant scratch its own butt

[errant raven]

It had tiny arms, no one took it seriously

[summer cedar]

Yeah, but a few billion years ago, people had spaceships and lived in Mars and Venus, where temps were a balmy 22-24C.

Then, the great Ponkkisian invasion happened and destroyed the surfaces of both planets, forcing the humans to terraform Earth and make it balmy instead.

Basically, it's all your fault.

It's ok.

We forgive you.

[pearl elk]

Ive been to a beach in Ponkkisian once

its where I read the best UE book ever

[errant raven]

Just stick a light source in a tube

Boom light saber

[summer cedar]

You aren't referring to the best-selling 'Ponking Projects for Dummies' by any chance?

[median wraith]

mmm the 5.6 splines don't seems to work properly ?

[summer cedar]

Upgraded feature.

Just publish it. Modders will fix.

[median wraith]

mmmm neither the prior wtf

seems to give a total random results compared with the 4.27

I'm getting distances over the time in the spline and works fine on 4.27

but all the 5.x are broken

[summer cedar]

Couldn't you use a visiblity value on the entire level, then just make it gradually vanish to reveal the sub-level underneath?

(Both levels would have to be loaded.)

Right. What if you had a really low-poly, low-mem version of that sub-level loaded into the main level as a placeholder?

Then make that disappear after the sub-level has loaded?

Ok. Then you could use a low-mem-hogging version of the sub-level lights?

Once the sub-level lights have been loaded, make the low-mem one disappear along with the main level.

[median wraith]

turns out wasn't the spline what was wrong

but my brain

had the random actor set due a duplication

so there was a second one in the list without mesh and randomly actors were missing

[soft night]

windows 11 s-mode more harder and painful to get rid off

Today's screenies! Avowed

[median wraith]

I have to give you the thanks for show me new games each week @summer cedar

[celest musk]

each day*

[soft night]

every day 24/7?

[proud jay]

I signed it just for you

[proud jay]

ok I watched the video now, I don't see the advantage over git

it's just doing git, but differently and combining some things

it just looks more like git for dummies

which is a fair use case I guess

but if you've already experienced in git I see no point in switching based on what was shown in that video

I know a lot of people are retarded though, so maybe it catches on

[mild gust]

Auto matic rebasing to avoid conflicts was the main thing I saw.

[celest musk]

why is the data on the gpu if it get's filtered on the cpu?!

feels like this could be done on the cpu to begin with?!

[mild gust]

Maybe it's quicker?

[celest musk]

ah ok, so the RT get's updated based on the seed and time i guess

ok, makes sense to do that on the GPU

[proud jay]

But you can still get conflicts though

And you can rebase in git

[cursive crypt]

Average social goals, knowing 1 million simple heads

[mild gust]

Yeah but it auto detected the possible conflict and just moved it to rebase

Git you gotta do that manually

It's all about the steps

[cursive crypt]

Or Ubisoft achievements 🤔 Say Hi to 100k ppl

[mild gust]

Pet 1,000 cats

[celest musk]

i wonder if i've even patted 10 real cats

[mild gust]

I have maybe pat a total of 15

[celest musk]

maybe 5

[mild gust]

I blame meta humans.

[proud jay]

not sure what you mean with that

[mild gust]

Well in my experience w/ git if I go to commit a window pops up and I have to say what I want done w/ said conflict

JJ just reduced that extra step

[proud jay]

doesn't he literally show in the video that the conflict is there and you still have to choose?

or am I completely misunderstanding what you're saying

[mild gust]

Sorta he talks about how the app just auto rebased for him because it figured there would be a potential conflict

Instead of prompting the user

It made the executive decision

[proud jay]

well I'd like to know when I have a conflict

[mild gust]

It tells you in the cli

That it did the rebase

He talks about it half-way ish through the video

[proud jay]

so the only thing you like about it is that it does the full rebase and then tells you the conflict instead of telling you inbetween that there's a conflict before completing?

[mild gust]

Yup pretty much lol

[proud jay]

I see

[mild gust]

Then I can just compare them if I need

[proud jay]

yeah but you do that too in git

just before it continues

[mild gust]

Yeah but I gotta do the conflict step

This is 1 less step

[proud jay]

what conflict step though

[mild gust]

Well I usually use Github desktop

So it has that stupid UI that opens

[proud jay]

you do git rebase, you get conflict, you open the conflicted file, click accept ours, accept theirs or accept both continue rebase

oh

idk about that

I use git mostly in the terminal

[mild gust]

It's not an issue in cli

[proud jay]

and VSCode UI for staging

[mild gust]

I mostly used github desktop because it's a bit easier to work w/ multiple things I found.

[proud jay]

pretty sure you can auto accept the popup though if you want

[mild gust]

Like when I have repos on Azure, github, and gitlab etc.

[proud jay]

cli works for all of those too

[mild gust]

Yeah

I was having issues w/ azure login at some point

Idk why

Got it working on Github desktop and didn't want to break it

[proud jay]

interesting

we have a visual tool as well at work

I opened it once

never again lol

the only thing the visual is useful for is if you need to dig through far history imo

but I don't do that often

[mild gust]

I have a bad habit of making lots of changes and not pushing enough

[proud jay]

and when I do it I mostly do it in the azure web view anyway

ah see, on git you just need to set core.editor=true to ignore the rebase commit message popup

or GIT_EDITOR=true env variable

[mild gust]

😮

The more you know

Also think it's just good to have more git alternatives

Nothing wrong with git but change is good

[proud jay]

sure it is

if it's an improvement

or it fits your way of working better

[mild gust]

Which currently it's not quite there

[proud jay]

it amazes me how little people that use git on the daily actually know about it cause they all abstract it away behind a ui

like this #programmer-hangout message

I would laugh if it weren't so sad

[mild gust]

Lmfao

I tried to get my sound engineer to use git

For his musical works

Instead he just chose to risk it for the biscuit and hope his pc doesn't die.

[celest musk]

famous last words

[proud jay]

tbh git is most fitted for text based work

[mild gust]

He literally had to re-format his pc last month

[proud jay]

of course if you just work alone, not much can go wrong

[mild gust]

and lost a bunch of progress

[celest musk]

huh?! I'm my worst enemy

[mild gust]

Real I hate that guy

[celest musk]

the amount of times git saved my butt because i'm an idiot on a keyboard....

[mild gust]

Can't even look in the mirror

[mild gust]

The amount of projects saved by git

[proud jay]

well I did accidentally delete my whole hyprland setup cause of being a git idiot I have to admit

but once it's pushed somewhere it's relatively safe from yourself

[celest musk]

and yes, for a musician an incremental backup might do aswell, if their mind isn't build around changelists, and rather date based 😄

[mild gust]

I was thinking more SVN maybe for him

[celest musk]

i don't use VCS for my binary stuff at all either

git for code, and daily backup for everything else

[proud jay]

well it depends if you want history or not

if not, just do backup

[celest musk]

tho, i was kinda tempted to give p4 a try

but apparently they don't provide a official docker image anymore

and i couldn't be bothered to make one yet 😄

[mild gust]

😮

[proud jay]

this when my old boss called me once every 2 months with a git issue

cause he didn't do much coding

[proud jay]

interestingly they do have images for their other tools

[mild gust]

Give them a git for dummies book

[proud jay]

but not for helix

[celest musk]

yea, and i think they had one for helix, too

eh, maybe i should bother...

apparently you can even do blueprint diff on checked out revisions

[mild gust]

Rudd the chud

If they can't do that they can git outa here

Nope

Just keeping games alive

[mild gust]

or at the very least providing the users with an expiry date

So they aren't blind sided a month before it shuts down

[mild gust]

Upon release

Not after

They have to decide the life time of the game

Prior to release

So no more Concords

Sorta it's mostly trying to stop Live Service from shutting down their games without much notice.

Also trying to get developers to set a end-of-life plan for their games and make it more known to users who may be spending lots of $ on mtx.

[soft night]

make games better again

[mild root]

yeah. i was manjaro user for a long time, then switched to arch when I was bored. when I didn't know what I was doing, I didn't like arch for being DIY barebone distro, but when you know what to do, it is just perfect. and it was very reliable over the whole year i used it

[mild gust]

Companies like Blizzard and Ubislop have terms and conditions that say they can shut down their game and revoke your access at anytime.

[soft night]

like "you dont own the game you bought"

[mild gust]

It's also step 1 into software preservation as a whole

I can still play games on my xbox original

But I can't play a game I bought 10 years ago

🤔

[soft night]

lucifer i get games from GOG

[mild gust]

Same now

GoG is the goat

Exactly

Things like GameRanger and Hamachi exist

The DEVS don't have to do as much as they think.

[celest musk]

#if bankrupt
dedicated server code
#endif

[mild root]

imagine having games like in early 2000's with dedicated server executables available to users, without online drm nonsense (I couldn't play doom dark ages just a week ago, when heavy rain did something to my internet connection).
I preordered deluxe edition, and i am treated like a criminal

[mild gust]

Bring back self hosted servers

Starsiege tribes

[celest musk]

even if the law passes, they'll find ways around

make multiplayer a free DLC, refund everyone nothing if you go bankrupt, done

[mild gust]

Then give rights of the game to Valve

Everyone wins

[celest musk]

i dislike the initiative because it was made based on a few (or one?) case

[mild root]

at least having singleplayer intact is good stuff, because nowadays even they can be disabled sometimes

[celest musk]

yea, i agree with that

[mild gust]

The guy that started it Ross actually has a list of games

[celest musk]

and i don't know of a single game where this wasn't the case

[mild gust]

They had a wiki for the movement

[celest musk]

well didn't it all start with The Crew

[mild gust]

Yeah it was the last straw

In the list of dominos

[celest musk]

and then they likely started gathering a list to push their anger 😄

[soft night]

doom is wild it get to webassembly also onChain

[mild gust]

https://stopkillinggames.wiki.gg/wiki/Dead_game_list

[mild root]

did you know that valve introduced refunds only after they lost the court case in australia? they just decided it is not worth to go through this in every country one by one.

but hey, that's what regulations exist for. to force companies to behave.

[mild gust]

As it should be

Consumers need protections to

It not only helps consumers though too

It immortalizes the devs work.

Leaving it for future generations to enjoy

[mild root]

exactly, I am all about the preservation of information

[celest musk]

i feel like there are more important things to preserve than Fifa 2013 😄

[mild gust]

Sounds almost like Logitech

[mild root]

how about a dishwasher with android app to control it (with account creation of course)

[celest musk]

that's an even worse issue

"smart" products which become e-waste just because someone decided so

[mild gust]

Yeah like good games 😛

[celest musk]

i think Bosch had this recently?!

[mild root]

home appliances are so smart, they reached integer overflow in smart points and wrapped to negative limit values.

[mild gust]

You mean you don't want an air humidifier that connects to your wifi?

[proud jay]

That’s why I only want to buy smart shit that I can run locally

I don’t want to not be able to turn on the light if my internet is down

[celest musk]

i think my lights depend on web connection

and i don't wanna know what they do...

probably some asian botnet made of smart bulbs

[mild gust]

That and stuff like this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVnuXFNWZFU

when i buy my next microwave, i will look for it to have only two electromechanical controls: one knob for power, and another one is the timer.

if you can show me at least one person that needs 60 defrosting presets, throw a frozen chicken in my face

[celest musk]

well, some programs i couldn't do with just a timer on my microwave

[mild gust]

[celest musk]

it runs grill and heating, while ocassionally enabling microwaves in some programs

[proud jay]

Wtf are you making lol

[celest musk]

waves probably to really heat it up and grill etc. to give it some burns 😄

it can do pizza quite okayish for a microwave

[mild gust]

The super wog wave

[proud jay]

Im safe I use arch (kinda) btw

[celest musk]

i don't have enough room for a decent oven, so i live from the combi microwave and air fryer 😄

[proud jay]

I tried that in my old one, tasted like shit

I know the pain, had this in our last place

<@&213101288538374145> #volunteer-projects message seems a bit against the rules.

[slow gyro]

@fierce crypt Hey, you already asked for this in #ue4-general and while it might not be obvious from the wording of the #rules we don't allow anything about modding of projects outside of official modding tools.
If you want to do this stuff, please do this elsewhere.

[fierce crypt]

sorry i forgot about that, my apologies

[slow gyro]

It's been less than 24 hours since I told you this. Forgetting it is not in the cards.

[fierce crypt]

what do you mean already told me?

[slow gyro]

Hm, I guess you are the second person in less than 24h to ask almost the exact question. Mistake on my end. Please remove the job posting though.
You can use the / slash command for it and pass in the ID at the bottom of your post.

[fierce crypt]

ok will do

im just curious, what exactly about mods doesnt permit it for the job board

[slow gyro]

UE has official mod support, which developers can set up if they want their games/projects being modded. That part is fine to discuss, although this is usually done through "channels" (forums, discord servers, etc.) of the game itself. Here you'd rather discuss how your game can receive mod support.

Decompiling BPs and similar to modify the game outside of what the developer allows is simply nothing we want to have discussed or advertised.

[fierce crypt]

Well the only reason i ask here is sbs kinda weird, Steelwool is aware and has acknowledged the modding community but there is no steam page, its all through game banana and the place where most mods happen lacks many programmers that are active in the community nor does the server have a place to like look for team members. I understand the decompliling thing though sorry for the trouble

[slow gyro]

I get it, it's just that our Server isn't the right place either :P
Thanks for understanding!

Something I love is to return to my master project filled with smaller ones and get a crash on each one for no specific reason

[summer cedar]

Because your project is Unreal.

[median wraith]

the hell is that

[summer cedar]

The new engine.

[median wraith]

fun fact I have an engine on my github based of Cube Engine

[summer cedar]

Humble's been on about it for days now.

[median wraith]

Seems like Godot starters

[soft night]

https://dotenvx.com/

[median wraith]

ohhh isn't open source at all

Says "Open Source" then "But you cannot use it as open source" lol

"efold is created and distributed under the developer-friendly Defold License. The Defold License is derived from the popular Apache 2.0 license."

That's sad

Don't allow to make a custom version

[summer cedar]

You must fold your project exactly as defold dictates. That's de fold.

[median wraith]

then keep with Godot

as you can release Dodot

[summer cedar]

twue.

But Humble humbly insists.

So, I must read this travesty.

This inspires great confidence.

Makes me think this is great engine.

Ubisoft might buy it.

this still lit

[cursive crypt]

What you have against Nanites? tc tc tc

[median wraith]

Well in this case that buildings in my photo are about 20 vertex

with tessellation get decent detail and no more polygons

and I need to travel fast flying so is fine

in unreal I'm forced to make each build 500k polygons

to obstruct the whole system

[cursive crypt]

I don't think you need that many?

But tbh, I haven't played much with them

[median wraith]

still don't know why they removed tessellation really

[cursive crypt]

Nanites, shaders...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

do yuo care what windus thinks

[summer cedar]

It reminded me of Oblivion's swinging imperial tower in cyrodill.

[proud jay]

you can always give the option to turn those filters off

like animal well has a scanline postprocessing thing by default, but you can turn it off in the settings

[median wraith]

Plot it's a survival game, if the missile hit anything in given time you loss

[summer cedar]

Cool!

That's a challenge. I like the premise.

[median wraith]

also you cannot go on altitude or the city anti AAA will destroy you and given is a nuclear missile the game ends too

originally had overheating and you had to cross some points or so to refresh it with falling water

[summer cedar]

Keep that mechanic.

You could make it work via a debuff/buff system.

So, if you get a debuff for overheating, then you need to get under water to cool off.

[median wraith]

Fun fact usually had decent ideas but always someone ends doing it before and better and I abandom them before as don't like the result ever

always happen to me with games

[soft night]

hevvy flippy flappy

[median wraith]

problem this game don't looks total legal thing I would be allowed to sell across

a missile and a city, don't sounds really good for americans and others I bet

headphone review videos are funny. you are just watching a person bob their head

[proud jay]

maybe you're just watching bad reviews

[median wraith]

for some reason at set a video public now youtube claims I just uploaded it lol

[pearl elk]

Im listening but I still cant hear this gif

[proud jay]

@mild gust this has gone up quite a bit since yesterday

[median wraith]

@summer cedar what example you want to see with the system I did, tell me

[summer cedar]

With Purple Banana? Or the procedural spline thing?

[median wraith]

wondering myself if that will solve anything

[median wraith]

procedural

[summer cedar]

Rapid afforestation and Restoration of nature.

A pretty pearl sphere glows in the centre of a barren landscape.

When it glows the brightest, the land around it begins to transform in waves rippling outwards.

With each wave, segments of land become green, filled with trees, flora and fauna.

After the entire world has been afforested, a 1000KM road is finally generated, and a dude in a jalopy is driving along it, gazing at the rising sun.

[median wraith]

what the hell

[summer cedar]

what?

[proud jay]

why do you know the word jalopy

[summer cedar]

Don't you people read over there?

Or is that too evolved a concept for you? 😛

[proud jay]

I read

[summer cedar]

sus

[proud jay]

just not about jalopies

[summer cedar]

more sus now.

2nd: Drone Swarm Assault
A massive drone carrier plane ejects hundreds of drones that fly into a set formation, and then release two missiles each at some target off-screen.

[proud jay]

can we have a field of giraffes and cows that ram into each other and if they collide hard enough they create a new procedural animal based on the collision speed of each

[summer cedar]

3rd: Fish eat Fish
One fish after another eat one another, growing in size each time, until the last, largest fish opens its mouth and hundreds of small fish swim out of it. They run along a set spline, like a dance, and finally swim right out of the water into the sunlight above. The camera will be constantly underwater.

[proud jay]

what if when the small fish leave the big fish the big fish shrinks and when he's back to small, the loop starts again

[summer cedar]

That'd be god mode.

Quite perfect.

jeff geerling made video of it second, gaming nexus have video of it (About stop killing games)

[proud jay]

also moistcritical

[median wraith]

is static how the hell will do a swarm, I mean you can do a stadium of moving characters but that's different

for those cases you use niagara better this days

[summer cedar]

Then, build a city.

Large glass buildings, with smaller concrete buildings inside them.

With interesting architectural configurations.

[median wraith]

👁️👃👁️ that's the plugin of yesterday for

I don't go that far

I did a script once to import maps from procedural online generators

maybe can include those

[proud jay]

damn, people paying 100 bucks for a block spawner

https://tenor.com/view/swarm-bot-drone-gif-4686080611873835247

[median wraith]

wait what

well the yesterday one on the market and others sure are 100€ for spawn full procedural systems for static elements

it's fair tbh

Poeple is paying more than that for a text highlighter per year

[proud jay]

where do you find these people

are you and me in the same room?

where are you hiding?

[soft night]

in space of spaces

[median wraith]

I mean every Raider user, don't ?

[proud jay]

[median wraith]

Rider or Raider idk

Fooking David, impostor

@lavish tendon wait a moment you are the one that said once something about the trash containers in Spain?

EA having a sale with the last BF for 3€ and people claiming they inject something in the BIOS

yeah that

so you are from spain then

we share the pain

🫂

yeah noticed that

here still isn't a thing yet, but they will start charging 30€ more per year for the trash services

they hired robocop or something

https://tenor.com/view/stonks-up-stongs-meme-stocks-gif-15715298

Like the trains service everyday

I do remember Portugal to claim we lost the power grid because the trains on first instance

but is a fact that trains are failing for a year every day

so idk anymore

or you can think they steal 5€ of copper randomly each day

yeah that's true, but unsure if the whole system is enough

we do since years

actually there are cuts under the roads too in shape of cubes

that are sensors too

to measure the cars passing

good thing is you got most of those data public

for example you can get bus realtime locations via the website of each city

idk what are the terms of service of that but

maybe can be used in simulators or games or idk

@lavish tendon actually let me tell you something funny I found yesterday:

You know about that minimum income warraty thing we got now

Turns out if you live at a 2 millions house and own it and don't have car or job or do anything you can get it

but if you don't own a house but a car to work to work and don't reach the minimum and say you have a 5k in money in total across all the elements you own plus the car that at this day cannot be less than 15k second hand or so then you cannot

lmao
