There's a lot to take in. Things take time to marinate in your brain.
hmm ok
Even my smaller projects fail. But thats not a bad thing, i've learned from every project.
I do so many prototypes just to learn a new thing. They don't go anywhere, but they are tools to learn the trade
π
is someone there who can answer my question ??
probably.
I think you could diagnose me with ADHD just by looking at the timeline of projects on my YouTube
ok, it just takes longer for me to learn this game dev stuff i produce music and literally a couple months into it, it just gets super easy and simple, but through all the game engines i've went through it's always confusing to me.
today , flight sim, yesterday rpg
I'm finally back to gamedev after taking about month off to play Borderlands2 and 3... I've decided to double the scale of my procedural dungeon... which means redoing all my meshes
Today for me was social media presence + uploading videos. Tomorrow its Blender work for the weekend. Monday it will be (hopefully) starting my new VR prototype to garner a sale on a potential game. It's all go. But tonight, I chill and watch The Boys with my wife. Have fun all π
i hate my dandruff π
Take it easy.
Tomorrow I go motorcycle riding with my dad, and then its terraria 1.4 π
that's nice
i really wanna skateboard
but my skateboards wheels are messed up and so is my whole board
I had a skateboard as a kid, I could go somewhat forward slowly, and fall over. That was the extent of it.
yeah I had grand aspirations from playing tony hawks pro skater.... I did not get far.
is someone there who can answer my question ??
@pearl lantern your motherboard only have PCI slots, and the gtx 960 has a PCI-E connection, change that motherboard
same but with skate 3...even tho i never even played the thing
evening guys
evening
@pearl lantern your motherboard only have PCI slots, and the gtx 960 has a PCI-E connection, change that motherboard
@gilded vigil
So can't i put it ?
how old is the motherboard?
the motherboard is the ga41mt right?
from gigabyte?
yea its gigabite
pci is REALLY old
so to upgrade to a modern graphics card you'll need to buy new pc parts
is PCIe isnt pci express ?
a whole new machine basically
is PCIe isnt pci express ?
@pearl lantern yes, but on the gigabyte website it says it only have pci
for me it does
Expansion Slots
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16
2 x PCI Express x1 slots
1 x PCI slot
thats what is the gigabyte's official website
So PCI Express x16 ???
man let me say this
my gt9800 was PCI E 2.0
gtx960 PCI E 3.0
Now, can i do it ?
odd that its wrong in the text
If it works it won't work at full spec.
@gilded vigil so what now,
yeah, the motherboard will bottleneck the graphics card, but you can use it
If it works it won't work at full spec.
@plucky pagoda thats what i dont care cuz im going to change my system totally later
yeah, the motherboard will bottleneck the graphics card, but you can use it
@gilded vigil Man im wondering what if i can't even turn pc on, you know you hit the button but your monitor isnt running
the fuck sakes there says its PCI E
they are both PCI E
the old bastard
and new idiot
WILL IT WORK OR NOT
yes
yea
;-;

welcome to our moderation world :p

I bought cat food.
now to get a cat
I bought cat food.
@north torrent that profile picture is amazing
I don't have a cat.
well then its very odd you buying cat food.
There is a cat that sits outside my apartment and I've been giving her bratwurst. But I figured cat food might be better.
you've been adopted!
#looooooounge
yes 15 gigs of gta downloaded
yes 15 gigs of gta downloaded
@zinc matrix time to wait for the other 80!
i mean...technically only 79 cause it's 94 gigs
ah ok
So less than Red Dead Redemption 2.
bro red dead is like almost 100
So less than Red Dead Redemption 2.
@north torrent how many gigabytes is rdr2?
rockstar are INSANE when it comes to the size of their games
150 FUCKING GIGS
I JUST SEARCHED IT UP
I'm pretty sure Rockstar bloats their file sizes by not compressing things like audio in an acceptable way.
I think it is all part of giving a perceived value. To make players think they are getting a huge amount of stuff for their money.
red dead redemption 2 is wilding
Not that Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't huge.
i never played it tbh
But I am sure they could have brought that down a bit.
while its not really a rule, please keep the amount of fucks to a minimum, just so we all look a little more polite :p
rockstars games are big because of audio
no excuse for 150 gig game maybe in 5 years but it's kinda weird for games to be 150 gigs now
I think Star Wars Battlefront 2 is the largest game I have currently installed.
uncompress audio and texture are the reason some games are so big
90.2 gb on my SSD, I don't know what the download size was.
try the new microsoft flight sim :p
a 64 bit wav fill and raw tga files that why
Not much reason for audio in games not to be compressed though...
there ogg for a reason
Vampyr is only 14gb.
my java flappy bird is under a mb
my java flappy bird is under a mb
@tulip orbit compressing god
I want to fit my game on a 4gb flash drive...
good luck!
I want to sell my game on these.
So if I keep it below 4gb it will cost me less than $2 a game.
a business card
Probably less because I can order them here in China.
I would just design it close to a traditional game box.
I'll probably make some more premium ones as well that I will have to sell for more.
I've always liked these...
You get a pen, a usb drive, and a laser pointer all in one.
Obviously it would be cheaper if you weren't ordering custom logos on them.
But marketing...
im ssoorry
I used to do these kind of things a lot with my old job, it was actually one of the more fun parts of working as a graphic designer.
sryyy
Not sure why I enjoy putting logos on physical products more than digital.
cus its harder to fugg up
Nobody asked you Karol. Go home.
i have no home

Look at all those triangles.


is that image rendered in realtime?
one thing epic did not mention in their ue5 reveal, is that youtube is being rendered with ray tracing
that gif looks like xmans or volverine logo
there no red unreal logo for 3 
Hot tip: If you link to a gif here that's not available in Discord's gif search, you can click the star to add it to your favorites for later access. β¨
- bucks
lol

1 2 3 4 V
unreal 1 gold
unreal 2 gold and blue
unreal 3 white, black, gold and red
unreal 4 white, blue and gold
unreal 5 white and gold
W
Unreal Engine X - Coming 2077
and the U in UT fonts
For a second I thought it was another remake of V. I was really excited.
A remake of which V?
Ah. Never heard of them.
unreal engine
is the only unreal engine that uses a letter for it's version name
Yeah, it's unusual.
No other elements?
@plucky pagoda for now yeah
It usually sits behind "Unreal Engine 5" as seen thus far, but it's shown first on its own in the demo.
I'd wager it's just placeholder or for the time being. It's too generic for branding.
A placeholder for what?
For a new logo.
i'm gonna be disappointed if nanite is not what it promisses at all, because tbh it doesn't look like something you'd run in real time
Possibly.
The U logo will probably evolve when UE5 ships.
Probably not much, but a bit.
oh it runs in realtime
For now, the V is effective.
Well, we're waiting for tech talks to drop that explain more about Lumen, Nanite, and how the demo was made.
Should be any time now.
Nice.
In the mean time, I'm finally getting around to my under the radar Twitter thread for 4.25.
how long does it usually take for epic to release a hotfix?
cuz steam is broken in 4.25 and i'm waiting for a fix
It varies. Maybe a few weeks unless there's something critical.
So subtle, but this is one of my fav minor updates in 4.25: sleeker variable icons in the Blueprint editor.
i'm going to be very honest, when i first saw it when downloading ue4.25 i thought it was a glitch
I haven't really looked closely at it, but the whole UI feels better in 4.25
There are some other minor changes. It's all really, really subtle stuff, but it's adding up to a nicer and more consistent UI.
i just didn't like that the modes are now a button instead of various tabs
β’ Brighter execution wires
β’ More consistent background color on node headers
β’ Unused inputs are now vertically centered
Yeah. Lots of little bits of polish like this.
Which makes sense now that UE5 was announced. This is probably them polishing up UE4 for legacy mode.
Tying up loose ends, little things that were lower priority.
I could be wrong about that. No idea what their long-term support plan is for UE4.
i wonder if they're gonna make everything they can to remove ue4 accessibility like they did for ue3
since a shitload of games made unreal engine 4 will release in like 5 or 6 years
still even engine is in legacy mode
Another very subtle but nice update: the Blueprint Compiler Results tab now uses a monospace font. Feels more like a proper log.
Yeah, it's much easier to read
they slowing updating the ui for 5
Can't wait to see the editor for UE5. π
but i don't expect them to make bigger changes to ue4.25 because its made to be compatible to convert projects to ue5
Yeah. I wonder how many versions they'll make for UE4 before they stop. π€
27 or 28
We know 4.26 is coming, and will bring volumetric clouds.
i think 4.26 will be the last one before ue5
Beyond that, UE5 preview will ship.
Might be. 4.26 might be the ultimate version of UE4, and perhaps just continue receiving hotfixes to polish and fix bugs.
UE5 alpha it basically already started
I hope they use an LTS plan like Node.js and other open source software.
4.26 is ue4 ultimate form
UE4 = stable and well-supported
UE5 = cutting edge features
That would be incredible.
I am putting my my money on 4.29.
me on .27
Interesting. So basically one more year of releases, Mao?
Up until UE5 stable ships?
me on 4.26
I don't think we are going to be seeing UE5 for a year.
We know when we're seeing it. Preview in early 2021, final release in late 2021.
Well, that's the plan they announced at least.
I don't think we are going to be seeing UE5 for a year.
@north torrent just keep in mind they have hotfixes to release for 4.25 and for 4.26, so i doubt that they'll add anything more than that
so companies that have alpha in some form are
capcom street fighter game
square enix kindom hearts
gears game
microsoft studios
sony studios
nintendo studios
and some big indies
We still have 7 and a half months left of 2020, so even an early 2021 release means it is 9 or 10 months away.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD9CPqSKjTU remember when people were mind-blown by that?
Unreal Engine 4 Elemental Demo
The most world-class game engine to date, Unreal Engine 4 gives you the power to do more than ever before. Unreal Engine 4's architecture offers fully dynamic lighting features, cutting down on development time and ensuring less iteration on cre...
At GDC 2013, Epic Games released the Unreal Engine 4 "Infiltrator" demo, running 100% in-engine in real time, showing off UE4's high-end rendering features as well as the latest tools.
Want to see more? Visit http://www.unrealengine.com/insideunreal.
Revealed at the 2011 Game Developers Conference, the real-time demo of "Samaritan" shows what Epic wants to see in the next generation of games.
The features demonstrated in this video are available now in UDK! http://udk.com/
it actually looks pretty acceptable for me
Who here is from before the UDK was a thing?
ut3?
UT3 β UDK β UE4 was my journey.
what's ut3?
Unreal Tournament 3
Does anyone remember that castle demo they released for phones like a decade back?
Unreal Tournament 3. It had nice modding tools back in the day.
oh ok
Build your own levels, weapons, game modes, etc. using the existing assets.
You could use the editor for the game to make stuff in Unreal if you didn't have the engine.
It was a blast, and Zak Parrish had amazing tutorials on it back in the 3DBuzz days.
i never played an unreal tournament game tbh
They were fun.
That's how I learned how to make game environments before Unity and then the UDK.
Epic Games, Inc. has released "Epic Citadel" for Android devices. The free app, which is used to demonstrate the studio's award-winning Unreal Engine 3 (UE3) technology on multiple platforms, is available now on Google Play and Amazon Appstore for Android. A new benchmarking m...
I remember thinking this looked so great, lol
Oh man, the citadel.
All these throwbacks. I love it.
When people were like "I can't believe that's running on a phone!"
Now iPhones are outperforming many laptops in single-core performance.
and here i am using a moto g5 π¦
yeah boy 18 gigs on the download
CPUs get faster so we can use browser based tools that take 10 seconds to load a page
weeeee
lol
lol
If iPhones are outperforming laptops, then my Huawei must be like a server room...
Apple's A13 is the fastest SoC on the market right now.
At least as of last month it was.
In theory?
Based on real world benchmarks.
In practice it is more like slow motion phone usage...
It's more performance than most people need.
There's nothing slow about the current generation of iPhones.
So much overhead.
Seems unnecessary now, but it's good for longevity.
Man, I wish I had more of my really old game dev projects intact, like in a usable state.
Been thinking of listing way more of my old projects on my new personal website. Would be fun to show more history of my game dev journey.
There's a couple of old android games I'm hoping are on a harddrive somewhere.
I wish I still had a build of UDK to install. The downloads are difficult to find now.
I might have one on my Windows 7 computer.
oh, wow.
Oh hell yes, I still have UT3: Black Edition in my Steam library. I hope it still runs. π
Found an image on an old photo account. First android game I ever made.
Didn't think there were any
It used tilting of the phone to roll the 2d marble around
π
Reminds me of how last month I found 4 of the oldest songs I ever made floating around on the internet.
An old site I used to upload music to is still kicking, just barely.
Couldn't believe it.
I looked for a long time and couldn't find that and just found it in two seconds.
I need to move my tower to a separate room or something. Processor stays cool but man the thing heats up a room.
You can show access specifiers in Blueprint now.
map is also generated after the randomizing
I made a star fish nightmare creature that looks like lovecraft wrote spongebob
Early UDK days when I first learned how to do vertex blending in the material editor.
My Unreal Tournament 3 Editor stuff isn't on this PC though...
Format Text supports more data types! π
hi
π
whats up
Does BP have regex without a plugin? I use one now, wonder if it's no longer needed.
Not that I know of. π
i have purchased the gta5 but it wont show in epic game launcher
restart launcher
i did that many time
ugh.. spent 45 minutes doing something and then realized a way to do it in 30 seconds
so here is two different map loads
π¦
pretty impressed by it π
nice

building geometry in blender for a level building asset. Need the corner trim. Meticulously built it with at least a dozen booleans and then realized I could do it with a single filter a cube and a sphere.
And it will be better than the monstrosity I first made.
ugh i gotta wash the dishes
I'm sure they'll take care of themselves eventually
@buoyant cedar its meme
I just installed UT3 and launched the mod tools. What a throwback.
This is what the content browser used to look like.
never used ue3 but that looks very daunting
Wow thatβs cool, nice blast from the past, based off look, I feel like the Dragon Age Origins/Neverwinter Nights toolsets are based off of UT3/2
wait so if i download unreal tournament do i get it on unreal, and can go through the code and blueprints and stuff?
cause that would be cool for learning
And the level file was saved separate from the .upk asset file.
Related assets were often saved together in a single .upk file, which was terrible for source control.
Want to edit a material in this 100-material package? Gotta check the whole thing out and block anyone from changing any of them.
π
I had a .upk for certain materials I used universally, and then specific .upk files for things like 'snow levels'.
I kind of love the goofy way assets are smushed together based on size
(In that content browser)
ugh, finally. First set of walls, trim, corners for level builder are done.
Are they purple?
?
The walls.
I suppose they could be. Using procedural materials to some extent.
Just basic geo setup to make it easy to instance rooms in BP
I don't see any bricks.
I've got about 200 unused points on Substance Source.
I'm getting point poor
I'm setting this up to use several sets of basic geometry and then let the materials provide the details.
hey all
Zbrush goals.
A Lama?
A llama with hair.
gotta give it fabio locks

@signal citrus thanks for your reply
llama llama red pijama send some antibodies to your mama
hope they didn't kill em
I got a new keyboard.
Just some Chinese brand I got for cheap off of Tao Bao, but it is actually really good quality... I'm surprised.
I wanted something with a backlight, non RGB.
If I am typing like I am now using full words and sentences and such, it never really matters if it is dark and I can't see my keyboard.
However when I am in Blender or Unreal and I am going to use a hotkey, since I don't have both hands on my keyboard I end up looking at my left hand to find the hotkey. And where my keyboard sits at my new desk it doesn't get any light.
Yeah, all the keys on mine are worn off. I need to get a new one.
back
This is called Hyeku Hexgears GK706 and I am very impressed for the price. It actually feels better than my expensive Corsair mechanical keyboard.
Only $24usd but it feels just as good as any of my high end mechanical keyboards.
Lol, minimum order is 38 pieces on Alibaba
too high for resale too $47
looks nice. Very minimal
I like all the hot keys on the logitech wave
A lot of the cheap stuff I get isn't worth it once you start factoring the import costs.
There is no way, for example, that I am bringing my 50 inch TV back to the States with me.
I'll give it away to someone here. Give it to one of my 2nd grade students to take home and laugh as the 7 year old tries to carry a 50 inch TV home.
Most of the day to make a set of meshes for a room. Twenty minutes to make the second set and they're better than the first
sigh, my 4.22 project takes forever to load...
well atleast the code worked.
course now i've forgotten what I needed the change for.
Hey guys do you tjink cricket game has a chance
there has been cricket games that sold fairly well, but not great.
Cricket with guns tho..... that might just work
this looks so odd to me
Nice castle
Captchas need to be destroyed
i think a lot of people here have multiple monitors so imma ask here
can i connect my 2nd monitor directly to the motherboard instead of the graphics card and still have splitscreen
Captcha
select all images that are Unreal 5
don't select any images that are photographs
Hmmm... I think I may have done that before in the past... I honestly can't remember...
Does your gpu not have multiple outputs?
Or do you have something like a VGA monitor?
i have a old vga monitor
my gpu is a older asus 1050ti 4gb model, only 1 dvi output
First typo with my new keyboard... Still better than the old.
yeah im planning to use the old vga monitor, my motherboard has a vga output
But anyways, just hook it up. It isn't going to break anything.
alright
You can also use an adapter for the old monitor.
dont have one, hold on
Well, if what you don't have doesn't work then you will probably need to buy one.
But just try what you have first. There isn't anything you can break by hooking up a monitor.
One time I had a DVI to HDMI converted cable and I accidentally hooked both ends up to my 750ti... Didn't explode or create a time loop.
would kind of expect that to short out sth but i guess they think of a lot of these things
Nah, worst case scenario is that nothing happens and your computer doesn't recognize the screen.
where do i go to for the split screen settings on windows?
Right click on the wallpaper of your desktop.
Display Settings
I guess you could also go to Display Settings in the Control Panel, but that seems like the long way around.
ah nvm it doesnt want to detect
thanks anyway
also jesus do lcds rot when you put them in storage for a year
No, I have an 8 year old tv that I leave for 6 or 7 months at a time without using it.
I only use it when I go back to the US on vacation.
Still works fine other than the fact that it is 1080p...
gross...
huh
maybe my country is more humid
this lcd has more pimples than me at 14
Well, my house in the US is in a freaken desert with legendary low humidity numbers...
The sun is peeling the paint off of my car...
i live in the tropics
damn
Well, time to buy a new monitor I guess.
An LCD screen should be flat... unless it is curved... but it shouldn't have any bumps regardless.
so GTA-V is on sale .. FREE
so if you don't have it yet, then go for it

You can also get The Witcher 3 for $5 if you haven't used your Epic Games coupon yet.
@north torrent any other stuff i can get with my $10 coupon
witcher sounds nice but im more into shooting things with guns
Use it on a game.
Any game.
Unless it is $8, then you can't use a $10 coupon... I tried.
But if you find a $15 game you can use it. I am sure they have some shoot shoot titles on there.
i cant use it on games under $10?
No.
It takes $10 off the price of any game over $15.
So find a game that costs $15 and buy it.
oh
nvm then
I'm stocking up my canned food supply...
but no can openers?
the recycling thing always bugs me. Im all for recycling, makes sense. But why don't we get cashback for recycling when the companies who take away your stuff get paid for it ?
here in south africa we have hobos stealing the recycle stuff before collection and they take it to sell
they break or steal the bins and chuck the rubbish for good measure
thats not stealing. Thats surviving
no, they get more for the recycle stuff than they do for regular work
they are hobos you maniac
Hey, as long as my recycling goes away I don't care who does the work.
exactamundo as the Fonz would say
but they break bins and bags and leave a real mess
Well, that's why you shouldn't live in South Africa...
maybe they are in a rush because people think they are stealing and would shoot them or some shit
It's like the only industrialized nation in the world that actually makes the US look good...
our supermarkets in the UK have bins full of re-usable food that is on it's "best before" date. Its safe to eat, and it could go to homeless or other charities, but they have security guards protect it until it gets dumped. It's a travesty really. This country doesn't care about homeless people at all
well we were left to be invaded after WW2, then the whole of africa came here
Everyone else
The United States
A large gap
South Africa
damn 6th time in a row my source build fails
I would probably post logs to someone. see whats up
this time i activated incredibuild and dont have a valid license
I've never built from source, so I don't know what to tell you.
I've built from source more times that I can remember. But the only times its ever failed was during Chaos activation.
Eat a llama.
or doing it later.. not vry hungry now..
but if i do it later.. ill just proscratinate now..
You do you.
well chaos is activated, but last time i build using 2019 and that doesnt work for this version or something
yeah so ill make food now
Probably better if you procrastinate.
my daily routine is very scary
so now i reinstall 2017
which version you running?
I meant UE
i need to make more things during my routine, even if i dont proscratinate much
4.25 plus
seems all the time is gone ...
plus?
also tried release
is that like street fighter 2 ex plus alpha?
Time management is important for people who actually want to make a game. For Unity devs though, go ahead an procrastinate and enjoy yourself.
it think its more like 4.25 .1 to x
I downloaded the release zip, ran setup.bat with admin rights. When deps were done, generated VS files. opened it with VS2019 and it compiled first time
unity is perfect engine for indie dev if he wants to make money and he is alone
If you say so.
wel i disabled incredibuild and gunna try again i guess
isn't it called LiveCoding in UE?
Why not use 2019?
i did it borked
its ironic that you install incredibuild, to try speed things up, and end up compiling the engine 6 times before you revert to not using it
Its not a simple beast though I give you that
Compiling 4. 25 works fine on my end. I know that doesn't help you though.
got this error on 2019
Hi, I'm having a weird error after updating visual studio 2019 community from v16.4.5 to 16.5. Even a fresh install of the engine will no longer build. I'm getting the errors listed below. The build doesn't fail until the end of compiling all modules:
Warning C4996 'TBaseMult...
@zinc matrix funny I did something like that with paper once
This is when you just build UE right?
@carmine frigate I have a flat build of 2019. I didn't let it install the update so there might be some deprecation in the updates.
im just gunna trow random stuff at it untill something sticks i guess
why not just copy one of our setups?
well yeah. Match the toolchains exactly.
you could use that commit to fix the issue posted in that forum post too
providing you use source control of course
i dont π
and i rather not start a fresh build by fixing crap i dont understand
its a good skill to have, knowing how to add commits outside of release builds.
yea for me its not really worth the cost
what's worse? Another 6 failed builds or learning a new skill?
supto you tho. Just think its to your advantage
yea i had git, preforce and turtoise git or something but i removed em all
I use Git for the source build and perforce for my projects
well i just need 1 build and im done π
I used to dislike Git for Windows but they have improved it since microsoft bought it out
I believe 4.25 will build with visual studio 2017 too. Also... why woudl you uninstall your source control yet get as complex as using Incredibuild? I mean, you want faster, better coding setup. Source control is mandatory in my mind
well it didnt say anything about any licence this time so lets hope for the best π
lol after 1st 2 fails i just started hitting checkboxes π
I once had to help fix 3 months of lost work due to the guy I worked for not using source control and his hard disks that stored his backups failed.
I was so pissed as I kept telling him to use source control.
well dont have any stuff thats a big loss if its gone tomorrow π
How do you update your engine release versions? I mean, if you just download the zip, you get that specific version. Then you have to redownload and recompile the entire engine to get an update if you don't use source control
4.25 is sexy as hell
and usually just use bina version but gotta have a build for testing stuff, and might aswell turn on chaos than
and the promoted im testing in now is just completely broken π
somehow that trash did compile π
I only get binary versions when I need to download a plugin from the marketplace because for some reason it forces me to use it. Which is stupid
I get they are compiled against versions, but if they come with source, Im capable of compiling it against my own build
all this cuz i want 4.25 with chaos and comment out 2 lines in viewport interactor.cpp and change one false to true π
and i dont event care that much about chaos π
its duplicating objects when holding alt
i hate it and it must die π
Chaos is nice to mess around with though and you got to have fun right?
last time i tried chaos it crashed hard π
darn
hmm its booting on 2019
shit makes absolutely no sense to me
but my other build on 2019 crashed projects not the engine itself
I'll have to wear a laser scanner on my head
PSA: If someone leaves a comment on any videos in your YouTube channel along the lines of "wanna be friends" do not interact with it. Delete it. It belongs to a hacker who will attempt to hijack and steal your channel.
they can have my channel π
lol unless you have anyone who has genuinely interacted with your channel, maybe friends or work colleagues and they get hit too. He uses the stolen accounts to continue to steal more accounts, and subscribes them to his channels to get marketing payments.
@mossy nexus how on earth can they steal your account/channel from a comment?
It's when you reply to it or subscribe to his channel. It's damn devious and clever. He's even managed to bypass 2FA accounts.
that doesnt make any sense
It appears he's using a bot, which has access to YouTubes internal databases
again. doesnt add up
Google "Logan hacked youtube accounts"
nah moad
@mossy nexus like and subscribe? π
yt and gmail have good security, even if u had their pass if u would suddenly login from other part of the world it wouldnt let u in and ask for phone verification
Then explain how so many accounts have been hacked and stolen?
people launch virused .exe files disguised as something else?
No
yes
Or you could do some research in to it, instead of just guessing?
Seems to me that you need to click a link by them to get any hacked session data. And who clicks links from randoms in comments anyway?
or check if its legit google site
He seems to have improved his technique from when he first started a couple of years ago.
Well it still requires phishing and to be fair, some people don't realise that is a thing even. But my grandmother knows and shes almost 90
wht if it is just setup in the first place
They guy has channels that are days old, with no content and hundreds of thousands of subscribers. I got a comment from one of his accounts and looked into it. Shady as feck.
the world is a vampire. Thats why I walk with garlic and a cross.... otherwise known as a healthy amount of cynicism
world is our oaster
toaster?
the world is our oyster is a terrible analogy. I fucking hate oysters. They make me puke. Come to think of it.... so does most of the world. So maybe I am wrong about that :p
oysters are okay, but I really don't see the point of them in the way that most people eat them. Cook the damn things at a high heat for around 20-30 seconds add some nice garlic sauce
they taste like someone's infected eyeball
I don't want to know how you know that π
George Bataille's Story of the eye.
maybe someone gave you oysters that were off
Im not good with seafood. I can handle cod and crab, maybe pickled lobster. But thats all
I remember having a king prawn curry once and barfed so hard that an hour later I sneezed out a full prawn from my sinus.
Did you react in any other way, in an allergic fashion?
just symptoms of food poisoning. It's happened every time I've eaten king prawns tho
There are several type of allergic reaction to seafood, mainly shelled ones but .. they are be nasty. Although it could be a thing that happened in your childhood that your body remembers was bad. Mate of mine has that with mashed potatoes. He remembers as a very small kid getting some mash stuck or down the wrong pipe kinda thing. Ever since then mashed tatters make him sick.
I got the crustaceans once, wasnt very pretty
I knew a girl who found them too. A couple of week later she met up the source of them and found them all over again
I love the taste of prawns. My body doesn't like the digestive process of them.
I'm stockpiling for the next wave of coronavirus.
I dont want to go on the cart... I feel fine, I feeeel happpyyyyy
I decided I'm going to attempt to play ever game without a HUD.
Do you think I will fail?
depends on the game. Not all huds give vital information. Some are just there for "just in case" purposes.
play an RTS
I'll try to play Anno 1800 with no hud...
I'm playing Vampyr without the HUD right now, and it seems to work fine with no HUD.
The Division hud always bugged me. They made it look 3D with skewed hud projection. But it moves. Like, if you want my eye to be somewhere, don't move it around. Same with the menu system in Destiny 2, which is utter trash, and moves with the mouse. So you aim for a spot, and its moving the entire hud, like some mini-game where you have to adjust for lag.
and the hard drive is 160gb
I am thinking about doing something odd for the map in my game. I'm going to try to prototype it out sometime soon and see how it works.
well reinstalled 2017 again and hit the build button
Basically, the map in my game is going to be mostly static. It is mostly like reading a physical paper map.
If you want to know where you or or even what direction you are facing, you have to use your compass or look around you.
The compass will pull up beside the map when you press the button, I wouldn't want to have the player waste time flipping between them.
That's the easy part, but the next part I need to prototype because I'm not sure how it would work out.
I want to give the player the ability to aim what is basically a laser pointer at anything in the game world, then press the button.
That item will then appear on the paper map that the player has, and you can type whatever name or note you want for that location.
So I am going to try some different methods of how to best make an 'icon' or 'picture' of each game world item on the paper map.
Going to try to make it look like it was hand drawn on there.
I'm thinking a terrain landmark like a mountain will end up being a lot harder, as there isn't a particular mesh that I can just reference.
So basically getting up to a higher location and seeing the game world from above will give you an advantage with the map and finding things.
Is it set in modern times?
Industrial revolution.
The main character is a journalist and printing press operator.
ok...
i made enemy.. go back.. then atk again..
they a bit too fast..lol
68 gigs left
it compiled
only took like 8 tries or something, just had to not compile for chaos
thats the 2nd time i wasted hours of my life on that broken physics system
guess ill w8 another year to try it again
Does Fortnite not do much physics?
I just paid $5 for the Witcher 3...
Cyberpunk 2077
You are a cyber punk, Mr. Olympus.
Imagine for a moment, this import error multiplied by 33 million polys
I hope UE5 finally see's the editor leave Epics carpark to go other places π
why?
Its a really bad cubemap for testing with the big shadow
as I said that environment map is super poor
hm ok
Can change it but its a per project kinda dealy or per engine thingo so it always comes back to default eventually
yeah hopefully that gets fixed
I find myself using the viewport since it reflects my games environment better but it would be nice to get the game environment better integrated with the sub-editors
There's a lot of things I have to set on each project I'd like to do just once. It's become easier though to do things now like make a few default configs and import them into new projects.
I think they recently did the preview scene thingo so you can change it out, would be kinda nicer to just use the default sky BP
Maybe the launcher will be faster when it runs on UE5 π
The defaults a compromise between quality and being light. It's an old engine I'm hopeful 5 will get rid of some of the legacy stuff like that.
It'll be great if they take the opportunity to fix some of the niggly issues, like a Y facing character π
It's a bit crazy how much optimization is almost an afterthought already. I mean as long as you're following good practices and making clean logic/code.
afternoon everyone
hey
Hopefully we get custom tags and sorting before then
btw I've read somewhere that UE5 will keep the same buisness model as UE4
that's awesome !
not sure how much corporate-fanboyism I wanna indulge myself with but it's a legit good news ofc
i hope they make lots of money this way so that it continues!
I'm fairly certain the announcement said as much.
i only watched the presentation videos and I don't recall they were talking about licensing
maybe i'm wrong or i didn't watch the right parts
I don't have much internet time currently, lots of work
Ah, I think it said it in either the announcement blog or the faq where it stated the royalty was eliminated on first million of sales.
gotcha
@zinc matrix COD4 have servers 12 years later
what do u guys think will be the next mystery game on the epic store
It does but nostalgia is what keeps is going. I started in CoD since MW2. I'm reluctant to get into CoD because of the deliberately unsustainable model and toxic community, but it's now like the only sort of game I want to play. I've given up on trying to form close friendships with other gamers online and playing as a team.
I think part of why Sandstorm is terribly unbalanced is partly because team cohesion for Insurgents is very demanding in addition to map issues
I think those who want tactical shooters are having a great time. Those who don't are running low on options
My guess is it's an Indie or smaller studio game.
vengeance is made by a small studio, yes.
But I'm not sure which studio you're talking about otherwise
I was referring to comment above.
Yes, Sandstorm is an indie game
@hybrid scarab already named it, The Witcher 3
i dont think it will be indie game
Map balance is not an issue only in Domination, but that's the most CoD-esque of the Sandstorm PvP game modes
ah, is that the kings assassin one?
Ah, already have them all anyway. They've been free or on sale for nothing a few times.
be back in a while anyway
@zinc matrix you should play COD4 on PC, is filled
yeah i have them aswell
I may prefer mw2
i also have gtav
if you started on MW2 you basically lost all the community interaction
But I'm reluctant to give more money to Activision
That's why I want a CoD clone - I don't want to feed the beast
why wuld you care?
if its a good game its a good game
any company if fed becomes a beast
They don't seem to be showing signs of making their older games last for a year. New title, all the players move there in an instant and leave the old games to die
this is especially an issue if it's a yearly release
Isn't that the business model they've always had?
it's been broken once
well play some other game with a more stable community
well if you play COD4 don't feed anybody really
That's kind of what I want. I would prefer BF4 but I hate how EA releases maps for each battlefield game, plus I wish to avoid EA in solidarity with other consumers too
I can't play any of those anymore. I'm too competitive. I just can't play games like that without trying to get to the top.
It would suck me in
The fact I'd have to pay for them or wait to pay for them all at once, considering GTA Online gives free content updates too.
And why do you boycott EA? π€
In solidarity with those who hate them because of anti-consumer shit they've pulled like convincing the UK to not ban lootboxes
What about valve selling lootboxes?
generally don't care since I'm not a fan of source engine games and PC gaming is less accessible
If no one uses PC no one gets their mobile games either π
PC gaming is known for its complexity, toxicity and high price tag and I think those enough dissuade plenty of people
pc gaming is pc gaming
If you have humans in competition, you will have toxicity
Yeah I dont think platforms hugely important, you can say PC is expensive but get an x64 for cheaper than a state of the art ARM
There is an inherent cost to miniaturization we wont get past
i think my game is too complex for this engine
New Ryzen laptops are killing it apparently
I'll try and give CoD4 a go but I'm not sure. On mobile atm and I'm also thinking about other stuff too.
Plus I guess I'm hooked on the low ttk of Sandstorm and Rising Storm Vietnam, their magazine mechanics and for Sandstorm, the graphics
Could make my own game instead but I'm uncertain about the time and resources I'm going to have in the near future and at most, I generally prefer to make games as a hobby now.
the interface turned yellow on me, dunno how to get it back to normal.
parachute, rocket, parachute, land in a falling chopper, jump out, rocket, jump back in fly off
"tactical"
Oh yellow UI means you got into the private UE5 Alpha test
Yellow!
I want to play a game, but not sure which. Just load a game, play for 30 mins then drops it. What do?π€
civ6
lmfao (one does not simply play civ6 for 30 minutes)
10 days later... the AI is such an ahole, im dealing with barbarians and they declare war on me?!
I bought Age of Wonders Planetfall yesterday so I'll see how that one goes
jeez this gta is gonna take me a decade to download
Game of the decade.
I do like pizza...
I cant wait for next gen games
200GB+ downloads yay
Maybe Epic could make all their games with Quixel so we just download the library once and use it for all the games π
Thats not even a weird idea

But any real game designer is going to take those Quixel assets and modify the textures to fit the style, level of detail, and color pallet of his scene.
So you would need to redownload those textures.
Well would you look at that, porting to 4.25 was pretty easy
Magic
all right, time to start multiplayer vehicle work
well, I have work, I need to finish it
I was only moving from 4.24 so not much of a jump, I just expected a few more breaks considering the API changes
I break so much stuff I never know if it is the engine version change or just me being dumb.
It's you being dumb :p
Being dumb at something is the first step to being somewhat smart at something.
well im gunna move some stuff from 4.26 to 4.25 dont expect it to go smooth π
Exactly so you could be a genius :O
is that a steampunk smartphone?
Pretty much.
I think all I want it to say is the time, date, temperature, and compass.
Can't think of anything else that would be relevant for a journalist in the Industrial Revolution.
I want a square design, because squares and the number 4 represent this character.
Not sure if it is better to have the 3 small and 1 big or 2 small and 2 big...
Steam market now asks for your billing address when placing a buy order. https://t.co/XR6MvBoxLz
I like the brown one of those:
That's closer to my color pallet for this character.
His colors are lavender, Prussian blue, and violet, but I contrast that with a lot of brow leather for his shoes, belt, watch, and whatever else.
cool
I need to figure out how to return a very heavy prehung french patio door
Because nothing in this house is to standard.
I am overly obsessed with using symbolism of shaper, colors, numbers, and even animals with every character I write...
It's a problem...
It pays off
It actually makes it easier for me to make characters though. I'm not one of those people who can just start sketching out some concept art and have it look original.
I'm still working on sets of modular walls
But the limitations I give myself with colors, textures, numbers, and such end up forcing me to think of new solutions.
about to start making some materials, doors, windows soon though
I've always found that my creativity does better within boundaries.
You should add a French patio door...
Only if I intend to explode it
These are mostly meant for a space station type environment.
All space stations need French patio doors.
I want at least 5 or 6 varieties of trimming and then will do the rest in the materials to create a huge number of variations.
The generator lets you pick from sets or choose random for each room
man twitter is a mission today as a straight white cis male. Think I might have to drop off for a while until I can forget the hypocrisy afoot there.
What about a video game character?
yeah.
I would rather it not be gold... but I can change that after I 3d model it.
i dont really care for the looks of gold either
or just designing to do it?
This character is basically the industrial revolution version of a YouTube tech channel.
He reviews new industrial revolution technology like weaving machines and these crazy new rubber bottom shoes and all sorts of crazy new inventions.
And he gets lots of free stuff as a result.
I like the dial location too. Would be easy to have the right hand adjust it to add some interest
It is a third person shooter, but the compass is an important part of the game. You just hold a key and bring up the compass on his wrist.
ah
I haven't prototyped out the camera movement yet...
I may not do a camera thing and just slide it over the screen.
As long as the watch matches what the character model has, I don't think people will mind much.
probably not
You can always use a partial fade if it's too jarring
Is this too high tech for industrial revolution look?
nice Star Wars prop
Maybe
on the bottom right thats the Falcons charting computer timer
I would like to find a real world watch as close to my final design as possible, just so I could buy a handful and sell them with my game...
If it's too close you might find an issue with trademark or copyright
hmm copyin design to 3d is a weird area
These Chinese companies don't care about copyright...
Then again, maybe the person they stole the design from would get mad...
yea but thats also a copy from a foreign country π
Maybe, but for the most part it's all global now
But ya, it certainly isn't going to be the exact same.
I would never be able to find that in the first place.
it can allready get weird if some1 posts a picture of you sitting on a design chair
You better be careful, Chinese spies might steal your game idea and mass produce clones
Nah, copy right is mostly covered by that one treaty, french something
I would have to make a game worth stealing for them to steal it...
I prevent theft by making a game everyone hates.
@pearl elk Tencent are so rich now, they would just use drones with disintegration rays on then steal your IP
I thought about working for Tencent.
I wanted to work for their subsidiary, Fivecent
Twobits international bought them out
Turns out they got the name Tencent based on their hourly salary... Thus I am a teacher...
My daughter wants this game where the whole point is to stalk and kill other girls in highschool.
I think they call those Sweeney rays π
@plucky pagoda sounds like the omen π
It's this, https://yanderesimulator.com/
That brown one you sent me a picture of is only $9 here in China, Mr. Slivinski.
Well, I don't know how long it will be before I can get back to the States...
i think u can get em for 4$ if u get a lot
You can always get stuff cheaper in bulk on Tao Bao.
Some places don't like to sell anything if you aren't buying at least 50...
I use to get a lot of stuff through import. Amazon's popularity has made it harder to find good buys though. Too many people doing the same thing now.
I just throw it in my suitcase...
You could have stuff come into the port in new jersey and truck it to an Amazon wharehouse and then they handle all the shipping from there
School here is supposed to start back on June 2nd.
School generally ends the first week of July...
So we might go back for only one month. But they might keep doing school into the summer. I don't think the government wants to let people travel over the break, so they might do some weird stuff.
But even if I get a summer vacation, I probably can't travel to the US.
The US is sort of the center of all things corona-virus right now.
America numero uno
I registered my 16 year old at the community college. He can go all online next year as a first year college student. No idea what schools will be doing.
think its about the same in most places now π
lotta virus or lotta restrictions π
So if we do a summer break, I'll just stay in my apartment and Unreal.
some places are still more shit cuz no running water and food
I have running shit
but they are used to that
I starting working last June to get him into this two year program for graphic arts but it's technically a public highschool/college program and I have no idea what they are going to do.
The college thing gives him flexibility and stability.
if getting stung by a mosquito can kill u a lil virus doesnt seem so scary anymore i guess π
some people will never go to college dorms or in person classes for years
all colleges will be online
They are even doing the placement tests at home by proctoring them over zoom now
until is fine to be in person
I find online classes to be rather lacking.
But as long as I'm getting paid I won't complain.
I like money.
Well, I hate not having money. The money itself isn't all that great.
I wouldn't mind some money. I dont so much want the money, but the larger house it gets me. On the upside, the lockdown has actually saved us a little living costs, as the food runs out and no school travel pass fees.
I'm stockpiling food right now.
Probably wise considering the morons walking around with no masks and spreading the virus. That second wave will hit with a transmogrified version and historically that has meant it's harder to treat.
I mean, if you have no access to a mask, make one. It's not hard and its the right thing to do by logical standards
OK so I bought CoD4, not looking for anyone to play with though
First, games in my collection
Damn. I just went to my Youtube channel page and they turned off my monetization in favour of that new system that requires 1000 followers and 4000 hours of views. They let me monetize previously too. Not that I use it. But now I have to actually put content out to get a quid a month.
I have 97. But Im not sure why.
I use mine like a dumping ground of WIP.
I stopped using mine for uploads because it was so bad, but now I have 18mb upload, I can probably put out some UE4 videos
Yeah, I upload everything at 4k so it gets encoded to the better codec
lol i just subbed to myself π
lol just reported myself for channel art, whatever that means
Hello there, if i have a question about material, where to ask. I dont see any help channel. Is this discord group only for advanced ue4 users?
graphics i think
This Discord group is for lizard people.
lol
You can probably ask in #ue4-general as well.
Depends on how general the question is.
Im starting a charity drive to get the less fortunate, and poverty driven, access to decent games.
I'll donate a copy of Grand Theft Auto 5.
Please help as its obvious the FO76 free weekend has caused some of these people to move to desperate measures
takin bets on my migrating stuff failing hard π
im gunna migrate the map, and everything in it π
4
hey now.
Has UE always imported multiple meshes that are in a single fbx by creating assets for each mesh?
...
