@zinc matrix After ~3yrs in ue4, (starting new to gamedev), one of the biggest most important things I've learned is to start small. Most of my projects have aimed too high and never get completed.

plucky pagoda
#

There's a lot to take in. Things take time to marinate in your brain.

zinc matrix
#

hmm ok

tulip orbit
#

Even my smaller projects fail. But thats not a bad thing, i've learned from every project.

fathom wadi
#

I do so many prototypes just to learn a new thing. They don't go anywhere, but they are tools to learn the trade

tulip orbit
#

πŸ˜„

pearl lantern
#

is someone there who can answer my question ??

fathom wadi
#

probably.

plucky pagoda
#

I think you could diagnose me with ADHD just by looking at the timeline of projects on my YouTube

zinc matrix
#

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.

plucky pagoda
#

today , flight sim, yesterday rpg

tulip orbit
#

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

fathom wadi
#

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 πŸ™‚

zinc matrix
#

i hate my dandruff 😠

plucky pagoda
#

Take it easy.

tulip orbit
#

Tomorrow I go motorcycle riding with my dad, and then its terraria 1.4 πŸ˜„

zinc matrix
#

that's nice

#

i really wanna skateboard

#

but my skateboards wheels are messed up and so is my whole board

tulip orbit
#

I had a skateboard as a kid, I could go somewhat forward slowly, and fall over. That was the extent of it.

zinc matrix
#

lol same i can't even ollie or do a manual

#

but i want to

tulip orbit
#

yeah I had grand aspirations from playing tony hawks pro skater.... I did not get far.

gilded vigil
#

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

zinc matrix
#

same but with skate 3...even tho i never even played the thing

jovial walrus
#

evening guys

gilded vigil
#

evening

pearl lantern
#

@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 ?

plucky pagoda
#

how old is the motherboard?

gilded vigil
#

the motherboard is the ga41mt right?

pearl lantern
#

ga41mt s2

#

rev1.3

gilded vigil
#

from gigabyte?

zinc matrix
#

umm

#

i wonder..

#

how do..

#

I...

pearl lantern
#

yea its gigabite

zinc matrix
#

FIND POINT!!

#

find the position..

gilded vigil
#

you cant put it

#

because pci is older than pci-e

zinc matrix
#

hmm

#

i need a position of player

#

but

plucky pagoda
#

yeah, wow

#

That board is like 12 years old or so. Not going to work.

gilded vigil
#

pci is REALLY old

#

so to upgrade to a modern graphics card you'll need to buy new pc parts

pearl lantern
tulip orbit
#

a whole new machine basically

gilded vigil
#

is PCIe isnt pci express ?
@pearl lantern yes, but on the gigabyte website it says it only have pci

pearl lantern
#

uhm...

#

No ?

gilded vigil
#

what

#

wait what

gilded vigil
#

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

pearl lantern
#

So PCI Express x16 ???

gilded vigil
#

wait their website is wrong wth in the pic it shows a pci-e

#

idk this is confusing

pearl lantern
#

man let me say this

#

my gt9800 was PCI E 2.0

#

gtx960 PCI E 3.0

#

Now, can i do it ?

gilded vigil
#

hmm...

#

yeah u can

pearl lantern
gilded vigil
#

odd that its wrong in the text

pearl lantern
#

look

#

PCIe 2.0-3.0

plucky pagoda
#

If it works it won't work at full spec.

pearl lantern
#

@gilded vigil so what now,

gilded vigil
#

yeah, the motherboard will bottleneck the graphics card, but you can use it

pearl lantern
#

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

gilded vigil
#

because pcie 2.0 and 3.0

#

wait nvm it wont

pearl lantern
#

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

gilded vigil
#

yep, it works JUST FINE

#

no problems, it will run ok

pearl lantern
#

the fuck sakes there says its PCI E

#

they are both PCI E

#

the old bastard

I bought cat food.

tulip orbit
#

now to get a cat

gilded vigil
#

I bought cat food.
@north torrent that profile picture is amazing

north torrent
#

I don't have a cat.

tulip orbit
#

well then its very odd you buying cat food.

north torrent
#

There is a cat that sits outside my apartment and I've been giving her bratwurst. But I figured cat food might be better.

tulip orbit

you've been adopted!

zinc matrix
#

yes 15 gigs of gta downloaded

gilded vigil
#

yes 15 gigs of gta downloaded
@zinc matrix time to wait for the other 80!

zinc matrix
#

i mean...technically only 79 cause it's 94 gigs

gilded vigil
#

ah ok

north torrent
#

So less than Red Dead Redemption 2.

zinc matrix
#

bro red dead is like almost 100

gilded vigil
#

So less than Red Dead Redemption 2.
@north torrent how many gigabytes is rdr2?

zinc matrix
#

rockstar are INSANE when it comes to the size of their games

#

150 FUCKING GIGS

#

I JUST SEARCHED IT UP

north torrent
#

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.

zinc matrix
#

red dead redemption 2 is wilding

north torrent
#

Not that Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't huge.

gilded vigil
#

i never played it tbh

north torrent
#

But I am sure they could have brought that down a bit.

deep glen
#

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

rich quiver
#

rockstars games are big because of audio

zinc matrix
#

no excuse for 150 gig game maybe in 5 years but it's kinda weird for games to be 150 gigs now

gilded vigil
#

it has gta 6 included

#

thats why

north torrent
#

I think Star Wars Battlefront 2 is the largest game I have currently installed.

rich quiver
#

uncompress audio and texture are the reason some games are so big

north torrent
#

90.2 gb on my SSD, I don't know what the download size was.

deep glen
#

try the new microsoft flight sim :p

rich quiver
#

a 64 bit wav fill and raw tga files that why

north torrent
#

Not much reason for audio in games not to be compressed though...

rich quiver
#

there ogg for a reason

north torrent
#

Vampyr is only 14gb.

tulip orbit
#

my java flappy bird is under a mb

gilded vigil
#

my java flappy bird is under a mb
@tulip orbit compressing god

north torrent
#

I want to fit my game on a 4gb flash drive...

rich quiver
#

for me under 1 gb

#

in ue4

tulip orbit
#

good luck!

rich quiver
#

basically a game using a single texture with a textures inside

#

or like 5

north torrent
#

I want to sell my game on these.

#

So if I keep it below 4gb it will cost me less than $2 a game.

rich quiver
#

a business card

north torrent
#

Probably less because I can order them here in China.

rich quiver
north torrent
#

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...

rich quiver
#

under 10 dollars

#

nice

north torrent
#

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...

zinc matrix
#

im ssoorry

north torrent
#

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.

zinc matrix
#

sryyy

north torrent
#

Not sure why I enjoy putting logos on physical products more than digital.

zinc matrix
#

cus its harder to fugg up

north torrent
#

Nobody asked you Karol. Go home.

zinc matrix

unreal ue5 🀯

deep glen

who's pointing to this message?

now you cannot unsee

thin storm

is that image rendered in realtime?

gilded vigil
#

one thing epic did not mention in their ue5 reveal, is that youtube is being rendered with ray tracing

zinc matrix
#

that gif looks like xmans or volverine logo

rich quiver

there no red unreal logo for 3 GWvertiPeepoSadMan

Unreal Engine X - Coming 2077

rich quiver
#

and the U in UT fonts

plucky pagoda
#

For a second I thought it was another remake of V. I was really excited.

bronze axle
#

A remake of which V?

plucky pagoda
#

Either of the TV series

bronze axle
#

Ah. Never heard of them.

gilded vigil
#

unreal engine ue5 is the only unreal engine that uses a letter for it's version name

bronze axle
#

Yeah, it's unusual.

plucky pagoda
bronze axle
#

It makes for good branding, though.

#

The reflection reveal was fun.

plucky pagoda
#

The V by itself is the logo?

#

No other elements?

gilded vigil
#

No other elements?
@plucky pagoda for now yeah

bronze axle
#

It usually sits behind "Unreal Engine 5" as seen thus far, but it's shown first on its own in the demo.

plucky pagoda
#

I'd wager it's just placeholder or for the time being. It's too generic for branding.

bronze axle
#

A placeholder for what?

plucky pagoda
#

For a new logo.

gilded vigil
#

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

bronze axle
#

Possibly.

#

The U logo will probably evolve when UE5 ships.

#

Probably not much, but a bit.

deep glen
#

oh it runs in realtime

bronze axle
#

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.

plucky pagoda
#

Nice.

bronze axle
#

In the mean time, I'm finally getting around to my under the radar Twitter thread for 4.25.

gilded vigil
#

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

bronze axle
#

It varies. Maybe a few weeks unless there's something critical.

gilded vigil
#

i'm going to be very honest, when i first saw it when downloading ue4.25 i thought it was a glitch

plucky pagoda
#

I haven't really looked closely at it, but the whole UI feels better in 4.25

bronze axle
#

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.

gilded vigil
#

i just didn't like that the modes are now a button instead of various tabs

bronze axle
#

β€’ Brighter execution wires
β€’ More consistent background color on node headers
β€’ Unused inputs are now vertically centered

gilded vigil
#

wow, these are really subtle changes

#

i only noticed the variable color changes

bronze axle
#

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.

gilded vigil
#

i wonder if they're gonna make everything they can to remove ue4 accessibility like they did for ue3

rich quiver
#

since a shitload of games made unreal engine 4 will release in like 5 or 6 years

#

still even engine is in legacy mode

bronze axle
gilded vigil
#

this one i noticed very easily

#

and i loved it

plucky pagoda
#

Yeah, it's much easier to read

rich quiver
#

they slowing updating the ui for 5

bronze axle
#

Can't wait to see the editor for UE5. πŸ‘€

gilded vigil
#

but i don't expect them to make bigger changes to ue4.25 because its made to be compatible to convert projects to ue5

rich quiver
#

unreal 4 got 3 ui overhaul during it time

#

in 7 years

bronze axle
#

Yeah. I wonder how many versions they'll make for UE4 before they stop. πŸ€”

rich quiver
#

27 or 28

bronze axle
#

We know 4.26 is coming, and will bring volumetric clouds.

gilded vigil
#

i think 4.26 will be the last one before ue5

bronze axle
#

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.

rich quiver
#

UE5 alpha it basically already started

bronze axle
#

I hope they use an LTS plan like Node.js and other open source software.

gilded vigil
#

4.26 is ue4 ultimate form

bronze axle
#

UE4 = stable and well-supported
UE5 = cutting edge features

plucky pagoda
#

That would be incredible.

north torrent
#

I am putting my my money on 4.29.

rich quiver
#

me on .27

bronze axle
#

Interesting. So basically one more year of releases, Mao?

#

Up until UE5 stable ships?

gilded vigil
#

me on 4.26

north torrent
#

I don't think we are going to be seeing UE5 for a year.

bronze axle
#

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.

gilded vigil
#

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

rich quiver
#

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

north torrent
#

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.

rich quiver
#

and 2k games

#

street fighter 5 was the first AAA UE4 game

#

πŸ€”

#

or Xcom 2

it actually looks pretty acceptable for me

#

Who here is from before the UDK was a thing?

bronze axle
#

o/

#

I started with the UT3 editor.

gilded vigil
#

ut3?

bronze axle
#

UT3 β†’ UDK β†’ UE4 was my journey.

gilded vigil
#

what's ut3?

north torrent
#

Unreal Tournament 3

red pewter
#

Does anyone remember that castle demo they released for phones like a decade back?

bronze axle
#

Unreal Tournament 3. It had nice modding tools back in the day.

gilded vigil
#

oh ok

bronze axle
#

Build your own levels, weapons, game modes, etc. using the existing assets.

north torrent
#

You could use the editor for the game to make stuff in Unreal if you didn't have the engine.

bronze axle
#

It was a blast, and Zak Parrish had amazing tutorials on it back in the 3DBuzz days.

gilded vigil
#

i never played an unreal tournament game tbh

bronze axle
#

They were fun.

north torrent
#

That's how I learned how to make game environments before Unity and then the UDK.

red pewter
#

I remember thinking this looked so great, lol

bronze axle
#

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.

gilded vigil
#

and here i am using a moto g5 😦

zinc matrix
#

yeah boy 18 gigs on the download

red pewter
#

CPUs get faster so we can use browser based tools that take 10 seconds to load a page

#

weeeee

bronze axle
#

lol

gilded vigil
#

lol

north torrent
#

If iPhones are outperforming laptops, then my Huawei must be like a server room...

bronze axle
#

Apple's A13 is the fastest SoC on the market right now.

#

At least as of last month it was.

north torrent
#

In theory?

bronze axle
#

Based on real world benchmarks.

north torrent
#

In practice it is more like slow motion phone usage...

bronze axle
#

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.

plucky pagoda
#

There's a couple of old android games I'm hoping are on a harddrive somewhere.

bronze axle
#

I wish I still had a build of UDK to install. The downloads are difficult to find now.

north torrent
#

I might have one on my Windows 7 computer.

plucky pagoda
#

oh, wow.

bronze axle
#

Oh hell yes, I still have UT3: Black Edition in my Steam library. I hope it still runs. πŸ˜…

plucky pagoda

Didn't think there were any

It used tilting of the phone to roll the 2d marble around

#

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.

plucky pagoda

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.

My first ever Zbrush project back in Zbrush 2.

#

works on clients aswell, we delay beginplays, till all clients have finished generating the level

plucky pagoda
#

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.

zinc matrix
#

ugh i gotta wash the dishes

tulip orbit

I'm sure they'll take care of themselves eventually

@buoyant cedar its meme

yeah, but he IS hacking people

theres damage even if its a meme

bronze axle
buoyant cedar

never used ue3 but that looks very daunting

thorny dock
#

Wow that’s 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

zinc matrix
#

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

north torrent
#

And the level file was saved separate from the .upk asset file.

bronze axle
#

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.

#

😞

north torrent
#

I had a .upk for certain materials I used universally, and then specific .upk files for things like 'snow levels'.

red pewter
#

I kind of love the goofy way assets are smushed together based on size

#

(In that content browser)

plucky pagoda
#

ugh, finally. First set of walls, trim, corners for level builder are done.

north torrent
#

Are they purple?

plucky pagoda
#

?

north torrent
#

The walls.

plucky pagoda
#

I suppose they could be. Using procedural materials to some extent.

#

Just basic geo setup to make it easy to instance rooms in BP

north torrent
#

I don't see any bricks.

plucky pagoda

I'd show you some, but substance source is being a bit lazy

I've got about 200 unused points on Substance Source.

plucky pagoda
#

I'm getting point poor

north torrent

I should start using some.

Before textures become obsolete...

north torrent
#

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.

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.

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?

feral kite
#

i have a old vga monitor
my gpu is a older asus 1050ti 4gb model, only 1 dvi output

north torrent
#

First typo with my new keyboard... Still better than the old.

feral kite
#

yeah im planning to use the old vga monitor, my motherboard has a vga output

north torrent
#

It doesn't have a VGA and a DVI?

#

My 750ti had 1hdmi, 1vga, and 1dvi

feral kite
#

nvm it has a hdmi

#

didnt see it just now

north torrent
#

But anyways, just hook it up. It isn't going to break anything.

feral kite
#

alright

north torrent
#

You can also use an adapter for the old monitor.

feral kite
#

dont have one, hold on

north torrent
#

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.

feral kite
#

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.

I guess you could also go to Display Settings in the Control Panel, but that seems like the long way around.

You can also get The Witcher 3 for $5 if you haven't used your Epic Games coupon yet.

north torrent
#

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.

feral kite
#

i cant use it on games under $10?

north torrent
#

No.

#

It takes $10 off the price of any game over $15.

So find a game that costs $15 and buy it.

damn 6th time in a row my source build fails

fathom wadi

I would probably post logs to someone. see whats up

carmine frigate
#

this time i activated incredibuild and dont have a valid license

north torrent
#

I've never built from source, so I don't know what to tell you.

carmine frigate
#

ive dont it like 20 times or something

#

but every time it take like 4 tries

fathom wadi
#

I've built from source more times that I can remember. But the only times its ever failed was during Chaos activation.

zinc matrix
#

so i have choice

#

of making food

north torrent
#

Eat a llama.

zinc matrix
#

or doing it later.. not vry hungry now..

#

but if i do it later.. ill just proscratinate now..

north torrent
#

You do you.

carmine frigate
#

well chaos is activated, but last time i build using 2019 and that doesnt work for this version or something

zinc matrix
#

yeah so ill make food now

north torrent
#

Probably better if you procrastinate.

zinc matrix
#

my daily routine is very scary

carmine frigate
#

so now i reinstall 2017

fathom wadi
#

which version you running?

carmine frigate
#

but it also borked 3 times in a row

#

15.9.23

fathom wadi
#

I meant UE

zinc matrix
#

i need to make more things during my routine, even if i dont proscratinate much

carmine frigate
#

4.25 plus

zinc matrix
#

seems all the time is gone ...

fathom wadi
#

plus?

carmine frigate
#

also tried release

fathom wadi
#

is that like street fighter 2 ex plus alpha?

north torrent
#

Time management is important for people who actually want to make a game. For Unity devs though, go ahead an procrastinate and enjoy yourself.

carmine frigate
#

it think its more like 4.25 .1 to x

fathom wadi
#

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

zinc matrix
#

unity is perfect engine for indie dev if he wants to make money and he is alone

north torrent
#

If you say so.

carmine frigate
#

wel i disabled incredibuild and gunna try again i guess

fathom wadi
#

isn't it called LiveCoding in UE?

proven thorn
#

Why not use 2019?

carmine frigate
#

i did it borked

fathom wadi
#

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

proven thorn
#

Compiling 4. 25 works fine on my end. I know that doesn't help you though.

carmine frigate
#

got this error on 2019

fathom wadi
#

@zinc matrix funny I did something like that with paper once

proven thorn
#

This is when you just build UE right?

fathom wadi
#

@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.

carmine frigate
#

ye with chaos

#

but that should be fine

#

im tryin 2017 w/o incredibuild now

carmine frigate
#

im just gunna trow random stuff at it untill something sticks i guess

fathom wadi
#

why not just copy one of our setups?

carmine frigate
#

?

#

flat 2019?

fathom wadi
#

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

carmine frigate
#

i dont πŸ˜›

#

and i rather not start a fresh build by fixing crap i dont understand

fathom wadi
#

its a good skill to have, knowing how to add commits outside of release builds.

carmine frigate
#

yea for me its not really worth the cost

fathom wadi
#

what's worse? Another 6 failed builds or learning a new skill?

#

supto you tho. Just think its to your advantage

carmine frigate
#

yea i had git, preforce and turtoise git or something but i removed em all

fathom wadi
#

I use Git for the source build and perforce for my projects

carmine frigate
#

well i just need 1 build and im done πŸ˜›

fathom wadi
#

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

carmine frigate
#

well it didnt say anything about any licence this time so lets hope for the best πŸ˜›

#

lol after 1st 2 fails i just started hitting checkboxes πŸ˜„

fathom wadi
#

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.

carmine frigate
#

well dont have any stuff thats a big loss if its gone tomorrow πŸ˜›

fathom wadi
#

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

carmine frigate
#

yup this is true

#

but i dont make too many engine changes

magic wasp
#

4.25 is sexy as hell

carmine frigate
#

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 πŸ˜›

#

somehow that trash did compile πŸ˜„

fathom wadi
#

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

carmine frigate
#

all this cuz i want 4.25 with chaos and comment out 2 lines in viewport interactor.cpp and change one false to true πŸ˜„

#

and i dont event care that much about chaos πŸ˜›

#

its duplicating objects when holding alt

#

i hate it and it must die πŸ˜›

fathom wadi
#

Chaos is nice to mess around with though and you got to have fun right?

carmine frigate

last time i tried chaos it crashed hard πŸ˜›

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

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.

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.

carmine frigate
#

well reinstalled 2017 again and hit the build button

north torrent
#

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.

what do u guys think will be the next mystery game on the epic store

zinc matrix

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

plucky pagoda

My guess is it's an Indie or smaller studio game.

What about valve selling lootboxes?

zinc matrix
#

generally don't care since I'm not a fan of source engine games and PC gaming is less accessible

pearl elk
#

If no one uses PC no one gets their mobile games either πŸ˜›

zinc matrix
#

PC gaming is known for its complexity, toxicity and high price tag and I think those enough dissuade plenty of people

hybrid scarab
#

pc gaming is pc gaming

pearl elk
#

If you have humans in competition, you will have toxicity

hybrid scarab
#

yes

#

the platform is not a faktor

pearl elk
#

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

rain steppe
#

PC GAMes are the best!

#

I play only on pc.

pearl elk
#

There is an inherent cost to miniaturization we wont get past

analog knoll
#

i think my game is too complex for this engine

pearl elk
#

New Ryzen laptops are killing it apparently

zinc matrix
#

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.

Oh yellow UI means you got into the private UE5 Alpha test

I want to play a game, but not sure which. Just load a game, play for 30 mins then drops it. What do?πŸ€”

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.

Your display icon looks like a pizza

#

but someone skimped on the cheese

north torrent
#

I do like pizza...

pearl elk
#

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 πŸ˜›

sage tendon
#

Thats not even a weird idea

gilded vigil
north torrent
#

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.

pearl elk
#

Well would you look at that, porting to 4.25 was pretty easy

north torrent
#

Magic

scarlet fjord
#

all right, time to start multiplayer vehicle work

#

well, I have work, I need to finish it

pearl elk
#

I was only moving from 4.24 so not much of a jump, I just expected a few more breaks considering the API changes

north torrent
#

I break so much stuff I never know if it is the engine version change or just me being dumb.

ancient ingot
#

It's you being dumb :p

north torrent
#

Being dumb at something is the first step to being somewhat smart at something.

carmine frigate
#

well im gunna move some stuff from 4.26 to 4.25 dont expect it to go smooth πŸ˜›

ancient ingot
#

Exactly so you could be a genius :O

#

I wouldn't want to waste my exp points on programming though...

pearl elk
#

is that a steampunk smartphone?

north torrent
#

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...

rich quiver

north torrent
#

That's closer to my color pallet for this character.

plucky pagoda
north torrent
#

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.

plucky pagoda
#

cool

#

I need to figure out how to return a very heavy prehung french patio door

#

Because nothing in this house is to standard.

north torrent
#

I am overly obsessed with using symbolism of shaper, colors, numbers, and even animals with every character I write...

It's a problem...

plucky pagoda
#

It pays off

north torrent
#

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.

plucky pagoda
#

I'm still working on sets of modular walls

north torrent
#

But the limitations I give myself with colors, textures, numbers, and such end up forcing me to think of new solutions.

plucky pagoda
#

about to start making some materials, doors, windows soon though

#

I've always found that my creativity does better within boundaries.

north torrent
#

You should add a French patio door...

plucky pagoda
#

Only if I intend to explode it

#

These are mostly meant for a space station type environment.

north torrent
#

All space stations need French patio doors.

plucky pagoda
#

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

north torrent
#

What do you think about that one, Mr. Slivinski?

fathom wadi
#

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.

plucky pagoda
#

I know people who'd like it. I don't

#

I hate gold though

north torrent
#

What about a video game character?

plucky pagoda
#

yeah.

north torrent
#

I would rather it not be gold... but I can change that after I 3d model it.

plucky pagoda
#

It works. Good spacing and easy to read

#

This for a first person?

carmine frigate
#

i dont really care for the looks of gold either

plucky pagoda
#

or just designing to do it?

north torrent
#

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.

plucky pagoda
#

I like the dial location too. Would be easy to have the right hand adjust it to add some interest

north torrent
#

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.

plucky pagoda
#

ah

north torrent
#

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.

plucky pagoda
#

probably not

plucky pagoda
#

You can always use a partial fade if it's too jarring

north torrent
#

Is this too high tech for industrial revolution look?

pearl elk
#

nice Star Wars prop

plucky pagoda
#

Maybe

pearl elk
#

on the bottom right thats the Falcons charting computer timer

north torrent
#

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...

plucky pagoda
#

If it's too close you might find an issue with trademark or copyright

carmine frigate
#

hmm copyin design to 3d is a weird area

north torrent
#

These Chinese companies don't care about copyright...

#

Then again, maybe the person they stole the design from would get mad...

carmine frigate
#

yea but thats also a copy from a foreign country πŸ˜›

plucky pagoda
#

Maybe, but for the most part it's all global now

north torrent
#

But ya, it certainly isn't going to be the exact same.

#

I would never be able to find that in the first place.

carmine frigate
#

it can allready get weird if some1 posts a picture of you sitting on a design chair

pearl elk
#

You better be careful, Chinese spies might steal your game idea and mass produce clones

plucky pagoda
#

Nah, copy right is mostly covered by that one treaty, french something

carmine frigate
#

pretty bizar

#

most wont go after it but the means are there

north torrent
#

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

north torrent
#

I thought about working for Tencent.

fathom wadi
#

I wanted to work for their subsidiary, Fivecent

plucky pagoda
#

Twobits international bought them out

north torrent
#

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.

That brown one you sent me a picture of is only $9 here in China, Mr. Slivinski.

plucky pagoda
#

Damn,

#

send me a couple of cases and we'll split the take

north torrent
#

Well, I don't know how long it will be before I can get back to the States...

carmine frigate
#

i think u can get em for 4$ if u get a lot

north torrent
#

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...

plucky pagoda
#

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.

north torrent
#

I just throw it in my suitcase...

plucky pagoda
#

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

north torrent
#

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.

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.

carmine frigate
#

think its about the same in most places now πŸ˜›

#

lotta virus or lotta restrictions πŸ˜›

north torrent
#

So if we do a summer break, I'll just stay in my apartment and Unreal.

carmine frigate
#

some places are still more shit cuz no running water and food

pearl elk
#

I have running shit

carmine frigate
#

but they are used to that

plucky pagoda
#

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 πŸ˜›

rich quiver

some people will never go to college dorms or in person classes for years

all colleges will be online

plucky pagoda

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.

fathom wadi
#

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.

north torrent
#

I'm stockpiling food right now.

fathom wadi
#

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

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.
