Curved displays are life.
tough sierra
The engine does allow udp packets and alternatives to replication I believe.
As far as curved monitors, i miss old analog tv's with the buldge in the middle.
north torrent
My CRT has a flat screen...
I honestly just turn it on for that staticy feel, then I turn it back off...
tough sierra
The nostalgia. You can literally hear the static.
north torrent
Turn the tv on, wait 10 seconds, picture!
tough sierra
I liked the curve they commonly had since most times a person's attention is toward the center anyway, was like a magnifier almost.
Ah and turning it back off sometimes you'd get a picture leftover.
Very faintly.
north torrent
I wish there were more aspect ratios available in 2020...
tough sierra
Do they have anything close to 4:3 anymore?
north torrent
16:10 on a few select laptops.
tough sierra
It's a personal favorite as it works nicely with my vision. I don't have to reposition my head every time i look around the screen as often.
Which go figure, eyes are meant to see 4:3 supposedly.
north torrent
I personally use a 1440x3440. I generally have it split into two screens, which function pretty close to 4:3.
tough sierra
Nice.
north torrent
I know this primarily because I will have an old 4:3 movie on one half with my online teaching work on the other half.
north torrent
Just have to position the webcam so people think I am paying attention to their blah blah blah when I am watching old noir movies.
tough sierra
Lol clever.
north torrent
But I personally like all aspect ratios, I view them as very unique canvases for my work. I wish there were more options for devices in 2020 to take advantage of that.
north torrent
I want a 4:3 OLED with HDR and rather high resolution. Not something available to buy.
tough sierra
Aww.
north torrent
I want to watch old movies like this with OLED and HDR and see how it compares to watching them on a CRT.
I'm just curious.
tough sierra
Interesting.
Old disney movies when remastered, apparently they show more detail as the original films infact were in higher res.
During production at least.
north torrent
Black and white movies do so much with lighting and texture...
tough sierra
THey probably do yeah.
north torrent
Compared to even much more modern color movies, I just feel like I could reach out and touch the surfaces in some of these black and white movies, where it seems much more flat in color.
I think that has to do with how they had to 'sculpt' the actors and the environments with the light to make it pop when they didn't have color.

could someone tell me as if I'm an idiot: why does freesync require FPS to be in between a certain range in order to work?
median wraith
because need to calibrate with your monitor hz ?
fluid bloom
but... why?
I've seen a display that desyncs with freesync if the fps goes below 55
that's huuuuge
fluid bloom
shut up 😄
ebon onyx
Because anyone could make Freesync displays so there's no base requirement to the quality of the panel
If it's more limited, they just slap it on anyway and push it out the door
alpine fern
maybe the panels just have physical limits to how often they must refresh
fluid bloom
but I don't understand why a lower GPU refresh rate would hinder it. Wouldn't it just give the display more time to refresh the screen and wait for the next frame from the GPU? 🤔
alpine fern
ebon onyx
It's just not high enough quality to adaptively change the refresh rate fast enough for that sort of range
fluid bloom
I guess freesync tech just doesn't work the way I guessed
as in "screen waits for GPU to tell a vblank"
ebon onyx
And yes running a panel at 24hz is a thing people actually have a need to do sometimes
fluid bloom
yea the lower limit of g-sync seems to be 30, which sounds way better
fluid bloom
right
so freesync is just an attempt to make somewhat obsolete hardware found in monitors somewhat better

should silent hill 2 be played without film grain ? or games like life is strange not using depth of field ?
these days ...
it's like every bumtard capable of filling a wordpress textbox wants to express in dogmatic and absolute terms how things should be based on his own preferences
with a complete disregard for other people's different preferences
north torrent
Cinematography is a bag a tools, not a dogma.
winter zealot
yeah i totally agree mr Mao
north torrent
It is about how you decide to use a tool to make art.
winter zealot
people not liking chromatic aberation can turn it off, and it's great
north torrent
You could find the greatest cinematographers to ever live, grab all of their tools and throw them into your game or movie, and it could be total shit in the end.
If you just randomly use stuff without thinking about the reason and the storytelling or art behind it, then a good tool can be very bad.
winter zealot
yeah absolutely
but for uh non "call of duty multiplayer 60fps people " ... depth of field can be used in cutscenes to make a neat bokeh background and give emphasis on the character talking on screen
north torrent
People are going to hate me because my game is going to default to 21:9 with black bars on the top and bottom if you are playing on a 16:9 monitor.
You can change it to 16:9 in the settings, but that won't stop people from hating me.
winter zealot
chromatic aberation can express a flashback or flashforward or simulate some computer vision stuff
north torrent
I keep film grain on when I play Mass Effect.
north torrent
My current project is artistically designed around 21:9 widescreen.
My next project however will specifically be designed around 4:3 and be in black and white at the beginning. It will eventually grow into your full aspect ratio (16:9 or 21:9) over the course of the story, and color will come back.
winter zealot
sorry i have to go just for a sec brb
mr Mao i really think you should design it for the most popular type of screen
tho it's interesting to design for 21:9 very christopher nolan 😊
your project looks quite cinematographic for sure!
north torrent
It will work on 16:9, but as far as the artistic vision, I am going to be designing environments and scenes to take advantage of 21:9 and get some really good 21:9 screenshots.
Then if people choose to ignore that artistic vision and change it to 16:9, all the more power to them.
winter zealot
yeah if they know very well that it can be done then that's awesome
north torrent
The second game however needs to be 4:3 for the sake of the gameplay. One of the mechanics is how that the more you understand about what is going on the more the screen opens up.
north torrent
If I had a setting to play the game in color from the start instead of black and white, the player would be missing a lot of the clues that help him or her progress through the mystery.
The way the color slowly returns to items or people as you discover more is what helps guide the player. It would be possible without that feature, but a lot harder to play.
winter zealot
yeah some features like this are driving the gameplay and are not just graphical settings
soft night

I want every aspect to build on every other aspect.
If someone simply wants to turn off all cinematic effects and turn the graphics settings down to get 150 frames per second... then they probably made a mistake downloading my stuff in the first place.

Idk, it's been almost 2 years since I used Unity regularly but from what I recall you had to set a few things with lighting and rendering that are enabled by default in UE.
You can get the same results but with 3D in Unity people who don't know anything about lighting or rendering won't do it. Same thing with 2D in Unity you can get a good look almost instantly where in UE it takes considerable effort.
lucid walrus
Unreal is deferred with most bells and whistles on by default. It's made for photo realism.
Unity is forward with most bells and whistles off by default. It's made for mobile first.
(Now, in recent years, this has blurred with Unreal getting forward, and Unity getting a SRP with deferred, but still.)
Also interesting to see ECS demos for Unity which are just as impressive as RTX for Unreal, imo.
It's a healthy "war" with a constantly changing front line, and both sides having slightly different goals (and very different philosophies).

Its not perfect thats forsure and I never said it was worth 30% but this whole store rort was around before Google joined in
Google just want to make sure that 64bit users dont experiences crashes through 32bit apps which use code which wont work. Im not sure enforcing some standards so the hardware is supported well is a bad thing, its not like they force you onto a single hardware solution or vendor.
alpine fern
the strange part of that is caring for 32 bit at all in 2020
pearl elk
This is true but mobile people like to count their bits for whatever reason, lets not forget a 64bit machine can do the job of 2 32bits essentially when used right, the opposite isnt true
sage tendon
Its not like you can just use the most recent target and skip the 32bit as you only target the latest generation
They dont really help by reminding what app version order should be followed, instead they make it worse by giving an error that the obb of both versions are identical and refuses the continue (because the wrong order was used, but hey rather let the dev figure it out in a few hours instead of just telling it on the !@#$% page)

I'm really not sure if that's standard, but I'm very happy about it because I love educational reading but don't take the time for it now that I'm employed full-time

Most employers want to keep you as dumb as possible so you are not a threat to their thin veil of power.
So I guess you are lucky.

Here they say education is a 'personal investment' and thus should be done in personal time
But in the same time they go to the barbershop during workhours so ye..

Hey guys, I have a University Dissertation due in soon and I've made a survey to gather people's results on real time vs pre rendering.
If you could spend 5 minutes filling it in for me that would be amazing. Thank you!
median wraith
First of all how you expect someone can see that images
Second how in the name of the purple unicorns will be the Unreal Software pre rendered and the other rendered in real time
bold fulcrum
Literally unsurveyable!
burnt robin
It was originally intended for me to just survey my fellow students and friends and family.
Secondly, they're rendered in different software. One in Maya and the other in Unreal.
Thankfully, I can discuss a lot of these issues in my methodology and conclusion. Thank you for the feedback
median wraith
Well the title then its wrong or you could explain me hows the Unreal one pre rendered
and the maya one rendered in realtime
median wraith
the title then says otherwise
median wraith
but yeah the images are too small on my screen to day anything related tbh
cannot be resized ?
burnt robin
That's another common thing people have brought up. A different surveying website or perhaps having links that send you to full sized images would be better
burnt robin
I was originally planning to have this survey printed out where I could hand them to people, but obviously I couldn't do that so I had to use online surveying instead
median wraith
are hard to tell images because all you can see its a minimal light change, as the whole scene its just a mesh but cannot say a difference there, the two could be realtime or the 2 could be pre rendered
I only see a tiny change on light
but could bet randomly the first one its the pre rendered
alpine fern
looks like identical images to me but the first has some kind of grain applied to it
median wraith
@alpine fern the db03b9bb-000e-48f2-b15d-05abf8d433bf.jpg its the option b ?
alpine fern
no that's the first
median wraith
the first is the pre render in maya
bold fulcrum
Path traced noise!
median wraith
@bold fulcrum shhhh the wizards don't reveal the way to do it
anyway I would give this as example to my students and less in a printed way
the printer will put more noise on it
Well the only reason to put this to my students could be try to suspend them all

Who in here can show me a better budget pc?
Look at this sexy for 500$. It'll last for 8 years.
alpine fern
how does that last for 8 years? it's already outdated today
tough sierra
It's above mid range today.
alpine fern
though 8 years ago this thing would have been epic
tough sierra
Honestly the only dated part i see at the moment is the gpu, but it's above mid range gpu's of today.
6 GB VRAM along with the high performance. Just uses extra watts.
The cpu is above 10k performance rating for only 85 USD.
alpine fern
says 4gb vram though
sage tendon
Dont expect a budget pc to last for the next 8 years while RTX is going to become the new standard
tough sierra
Whoops my bad >.<
CPU wise pretty sure we reached the end of moor's law but gpu wise i'm not sure if we reached the end of the nm limitation.
They could always try to build them bigger to.
That part could be swapped out later though.
This ain't spending 1k USD on a cpu that's onnly 50% better.
Or even if 3x better, not worth it.
alpine fern
the cpu is pretty good
tough sierra
GPU recommendations are welcome but i guess it's hard to do much but wait.

Considering the various reports of 4nm being use in prototype CPUs from AMD, and the crazy people who have used biofilaments, I'd say were are a long way off reaching any limitation regarding physical size

alpine fern
would be cool to have some actual improvements again
tough sierra
Some of us programmers honestly subconsciously want cpu's to stop getting better so the other programmers stop being lazy.
alpine fern
like a new cpu with 2x the single core perf compared to the previous generation
tough sierra
We could if we used different tech maybe.
pearl elk
Id like a CPU that doesnt have a huge security hole where its arse should be
alpine fern
we would get an insane improvement if they stopped with these shitty slow memory modules and built that directly on the cpu like they do with hbm for gpus
mossy nexus
A chinese company made a x86 based CPU called the "Trillion Core" CPU. It's slower than a nine year old Athlon... 😄

But branch prediction and hardware switches for OSes and hardware virtual paging 😛
Honestly that'd not be viable to do i'm willing to bet.
A lot of people wondered about that though.

pearl elk

tough sierra
Honestly I really think we have a lot of performance benefits to be gained if we focused on software as well.
pearl elk
Issue with software isnt just the way its engineered though, its the business model
If we could go back to the garage, get rid of the money men, start over like it was the 70s but with everything we have now 😛
tough sierra
From the outside it does look that way, but i wonder if a boss is really responsible for using lots of abstract OOP frameworks for every solution, or if one lead programmer can make that decision.
I'm more a garage programmer, though I work in the bedroom 😛
pearl elk
I dont think the issue is just OOP frameworks but all the includes, its a mess
tough sierra
You mean interdependencies?
Oh god lib bloat in c++ land is insane.
Header only libs though...
pearl elk
well c++ and javascript allow OOP as well as other methods so yeah I dont think its just on those particular packages thats the problem
alpine fern

I do love the simplicity though, C++ Im constantly battling with the memory management syntax so JS is a refreshing change of pace

I think js is much more complicated than c++ in terms of memory management
But it is less to think about

Be nice if we could all decide on one name for things and stick with it
tbh its not really the name which is important anyway, we spend so much resources into naming these variables we mostly throw away. We really refer to things by their meaning and the intention, it doesnt really matter what they are named as long as we can refer to them somehow
for instance Speed, Objects Speed, which object, is it on the ground in the air. Do I really care or do I just want to point and go that one there, its speed

what about Unreal Engine? does have any exploit in UE4 like source engine?
bcs ue4 always open source so
signal citrus
well noira, they don't give you the code to fortnite
engine exploitation is a thing but actual game code is kind of another thing
undone yew
i was talkin about engine code. not game code. like can they fake RPC to everyone send a file with engine code?
with UE4 RPC system
ancient hornet
well the engine is already a by attack area for Fortnite
having it so open probably already stops a lot of issues (potentially)
signal citrus
yeah noira, packet sniffing and injection is a thing
just meant in relation to source engine
the versions tf2 and csgo run on i believe have source code available for engine stuff in regards to mod sdk
undone yew
so can they fake a package with game code? even if game engine is open sourced
im so confusing rn i didnt think that side till today
broken sigil
well someone can inject garbage into a network packet but I don't think an RCE exploit is possible with ue4's RPC system since the engine is looking for a matching function to call when an RPC arrives and it serializes the packet data into the function parameters so if someone tried to inject malicious code it would just be interpreted as garbage by the engine
(the parameters would have garbage values)
signal citrus
but basically yeah
can use a wireshark to collect the data as well
there are things in place to make it hard to understand of course
undone yew
yeah when i tried to wireshark it looks like already encrpyted bytes
no readable strings like i update a string in dediserver and send to client or reverse

Since we're already on the topic of strange, a quick weird question: Which term would you use for collectible items like coins/stars in Mario games or rings in Sonic games? "Collectibles" doesn't seem right
tall plume
which, i really should have screenshotted that before deleting it to send to him because it was good material for the joke
signal citrus

alpine fern
did you consider calling them coins, stars or rings
signal citrus
interesting way to poach some talent i guess
spiral dock
@alpine fern I'm looking for a general term that can describe the concept, rather than a particular name for the currency
alpine fern
but collectibles is fine for that
spiral dock
It is? I thought that makes it sound more like hidden trophy items or something along those lines
Like something for a collection :)
zinc matrix
@spiral dock nope collectable is the correct term lol
alpine fern
it doesn't automatically imply secret/hidden collectibles
spiral dock
Heh, ok, cool. I guess I was overthinking it
zinc matrix
@spiral dock a collectable is anything that the player can collect essentailly
spiral dock
Perfect, works for me 👌
zinc matrix
@spiral dock what you could do if you want various types of collectables is make a blueprint for collectables and make a frame work for it then make each collectable object derive from the collectable "motherclass" then you can just set vars instead of having to reprogram the functionality in or having to copy and paste it (it is usefull for if you say want a star/coin to add 1 point but then you have a stack of stars/coins adds 10 points)
spiral dock
Oh, err, yeah, absolutely. I was just second-guessing my naming really, but thanks. :)
zinc matrix
does anyone one know what is all the differences between an event graph and a function
tulip nova
yawns
@zinc matrix the event graph of a blueprint represent the scope of a class where you can override functions declared in superclasses or on components of the class.
Functions are functions - separately scoped groupings of code that live in the context of the class.
alpine fern
more practical differences:
- functions must finish executing immediately and can have return values and local variables
- event graph can use async/delay nodes
- outputs of nodes in event graph are stored persistenly and can be used as inputs from unrelated exec chains
zinc matrix
@tulip nova sorry i see you misunderstood my question a bit, the event graph can call "events" (such as custom ones) which run a block of code, a function can be called and will also run a block of code (as is in standard programming) but i can't create a standard delay in a function but i can in an event graph, so why would i bother using functions (besides for overrides) when i could use a new event graph to keep it tidy and have things that an event graph has access to, what are those differences, what are questions i need to ask to choose which one to use
alpine fern
you use a function if you need a return value or want to use local variables rather than connecting everything with spaghetti
zinc matrix
@alpine fern actually thinking about it i forgot about the fact that events can only have inputs and no outputs (silly mistake but i'm bound to make many as i'm starting to get back into dev after some time and i need to learn a lot)

Editor Utilities can
broken sigil
^^
rare sparrow
Yeah, there's the Widgets that let you make additional editor UI and Blueprints for doing stuff in the viewport world whatever you call it
zinc matrix
is it possible to let the script run while changing vars, basically i have a slider for a var and i wanna see it update in realtime using the editor ultility but the moment i click and start dragging the script stops updating
rare sparrow
Sounds possible for sure. I've not used editor utilities enough to tell you how
zinc matrix
lol well this is my first go at it, i'm used to how it (and many other things) work in unity 3D so it can get confusing/annoying at times
rare sparrow
Wait, do you mean have a variable slider which only updates when you stop moving the slider? That might be something simple enough for the construction script (meaning you don't need editor utilities for it). By default the construction script runs constantly during a drag, but there's an option I think in class settings to make it only run once the drag is done.

@zinc matrix VPeditor tickable actor base
it has editor tick
also viewport interactor and other editor stuff
normal prism
Would that work both in editor and in game? @carmine frigate
pearl elk
You typically separate editor and game code, you would have your editor implementation using editor tick and game implementation using game tick.
When you compile shipping theres no editor code
carmine frigate
what he says
but yes
dunno what u are tryin to do tho
editor tick is for doin stuff in editor
VPtickable actor base has a bunch of stuf u never need during runtime
thats why u have actor
normal prism
I have an actor that will both be in game and in the editor, that's why
And it'd be great to have it tickable in both instances
(Drop into scene in editor and configure, should tick in editor, persist into game and should also tick in game)
pearl elk
Play In Editor is a special case which doesnt happen with Shipped Builds, persisting into game isnt really a thing. Sure you can have it load back the same properties as you set from the editor but its an entirely new instance because the entire game instance didnt exist previously.
You can use macros to define parts of your code as editor only but this can be difficult to manage, its typically easier to compartmentalize your editor code out to its own component and only compile it in for editor builds.
This way you make the component editor tickable not the entire actor.
normal prism
Hmm, I'll dive into this a bit deeper, thanks for the tips guys 🙂

It depends on the function or macro. I use a generic set of array macros for things like getting random indices and such.
