your first error is measuring performance in editor tho, but... yeah we all do that
a simple test to see if its that, is just disable those particles
no particles gives 10-20fps
is it the top down game?
yeah , tough, most marketplace assets are tuned to be seen from a different angle
yup. Torches are the only effects from marketplace atm
to get a better framerate, use dithered temporal AA and masked shading instead of translucent
for the particles
will economize soooo much performance with that
for top down it makes a big difference, i had a scene like that that was just dying from transparency... switched it to this .. its a visual tradeoff sure, but most people wont notice...
you can also use additive instead of translucent(although ive heard ue4.25 solves all of these issues)
by itself
because they sorted translucency more efficiently
lmao, my game instance loads on development package, but not shipping
just gonna have to ship my game with the console and a bunch of print strings
Well, I definately need a better top-down torch particle effect
oh well. problem for future Interitus
future task: optimization pass
we are trying a experimental level design technique
where we reduce framerates
in order to make you feel like time is going slower
Christ got an $80 fine for speeding 11kph (~7mph) over when the throttle jammed on my motorcycle. Weighing up if its worth appealing or just paying it π¦
speeding is never someones fault other than a mechanical fault, having to proof that will cost more than the fine
Sheesh, thats a cop with too much time on his hands. Unless you were in residential...
but a jammed throttle isnt good either π
neither is the soft rear brakes on my bike.... practically new, under 4k kms.
if i delete a discord server, do members in it get kicked or do i leave and the server elects a random person to be an admin?
that's how it is in whatsapp and i think telegram
you just leave and someone else gets elected
it's really dumb
Hello.
Sheesh, thats a cop with too much time on his hands. Unless you were in residential...
@tulip orbit It was a speed camera, a cop wouldn't have ticketed me. Cameras have no discretion :/
The throttle isn't faulty, I went along a ~130km stretch of gravel road (its a sports bike with road tires) and dropped it on the throttle side, it must have gotten some debris stuck between the throttle and bar which fell into the right place to jam it
Sounds like you should take the bike back to the dealer btw π
I'm usually fine on gravel but it was an 11.5 hour trip and didn't realize I was zoning out π
Hit a really tight high camber turn without realizing it was coming up so entered it at 55kph, which would be pushing it if it wasn't gravel for that corner
Doom 1: here's the source code, do with it whatever you please
Doom Eternal: install this rootkit to prevent tampering
oh well
Big brain moment
I had an odd dream where Unity released a line of toothbrushes specifically for game developers...
that face is kinda memey https://i.imgur.com/kotbiBr.png
@north torrent you mean my teeth bad?
Your teeth are not my concern.
they are
Nothing to do with you is my concern.
How did the whole world decide to lock everything down, and now the whole world opens everything up?
Someone must be running it
good evening
good morning
how are you
anyone here do a project and when it's "finished" you don't feel like you've done your best
Charlie Brooker returns to our screens to take a look at life under lockdown. As well as coverage of the crisis itself, Charlie also explores what the public have been watching to while away the hours.
Working on a kind of indoor space jungle conservatory. I don't really know where I'm going with my art style or with my game, it's supposed to be themed around wasps flying around a spaceship. A bit niche. Actually thinking I need to play more games and read books for ideas
How long have yβall been working with unreal engine?
Just curious
Iβm new to it so everything hurts my brain but I like the pain 
about 4 years
about 6
who know mayB in a few year π
Since before there was a UDK...
I didn't come to Unreal 4 until I think 4.14
I used Unreal 3 a lot and then retired from game development and came back 5 years later.
So basically in order to make Mars livable we need to do the same exact things that are causing global warming on Earth...
mars just sux, no1 wants to live there
Better than South Africa.
first build was for free more than 5 years ago
actually you could take it for free before as I did with keys from providers
they gave free keys for different events
i didnt join those events, i just took the piratebay version
XD
solid trustworthy uploader π
Sometimes the torrent downloads faster.
yea torrents scale verry good
did some tests and a friend close by had a really good connection. it pulled everything from there
it actually grabs lan if it can
UT2004 has leaked sources long time ago
I've been working with Unreal for about 21 years now. Professionally for about 12 years. Prior to that I was mostly modding.
Any suggestions to make my game stand out more/have more interesting mechanics?
There is nothing we can tell at all, is about own exploration and fail, try, improve way tbh
There isn't much description about the combat beyond just melee / shooting.
less harr harr, more lounge lounge
lol
@proven thorn basically it's slower paced, guns have huge recoil and are slow to aim, melee weapons all have a basic primary attack and a secondary attack that is unique to each one (e.g. a box cutter can be stuck inside the head for an instant kill)
It's hard to tell if that is "fun" to play. I can't tell you from the description unfortunately.
Nothing sounds unique, but that doesn't mean it won't play uniquely.
@proven thorn ah alright
ghost of tsusima > botw in a samurai setting
doesnt sound original, but sure as hell id play it
Halting capitalism is always nice though
Because we live in a system where nothing matters unless it can make money, yourself included
Minister Fremault accurately identified that the 5G pilot project will not be compatible with Belgian radiation safety standards of 9 V/m, or 95 mW/m2, and has stated that she will not be making an exception.
the important part
5g is pretty damn high power
as far as radio waves go
that'll be the real reason
so it probably does need more testing
not the conspiracy theory nutjob rubbish
there is really only one conspiracy theory with 5g, and its that Huawei makes a lot of them
I do want faster connection speeds but the article also complained about corporate influence in politics and surveillance
and you really dont want a chinese state company owning your communications equipment
I wish that were true, but there are enough people out there who believe it causes cancer, or somehow spreads coronavirus..
I'm just conflicted because 1. I want to be able to speedily upload files online as well as quickly download them but 2. surveillance is a concern, although I admit I could do more to protect my own privacy
its not ionizing radiation, but its still very high powered radio, so probably needs more testing
Oh and capitalism is just cancer at this point
and btw, the surveliance stuff is unchanged from 4g and others
Look at the games industry for instance
no clue why people want faster speeds, netflix workds fine in 4g, and a looooot of people only use their smartphones for instagram/facebook and the likes.
much need for 5g
@deep glen i mean it has data caps
what even the fucking point
if you can melt your data cap in about 5 seconds
literally
We can only have 10mbps upload speeds here in the UK
Unless you're an enterprise user
like, what is even the point
whats a datacap? :p
of a 1000 mb a second connectoin
on a 2000 mb datacap
@deep glen phones all tend t have datacaps
unless its the most expensive plans
for the off chance I go outside the netherlands maybe once a year
btw, in europe there is no extra charges
but, I already paid off my phone so that saves money
ive been using my spanish phone for the 1.5 years ive been in NL
my dad is paying for my SIM atm. 10 gbp/month for 4 GB of data
i see 5g as such a hugely pointless endeavour
Bought the phone myself. Am in the UK
but yea, I get the point. again, I dont see much reason to need such speeds
seriously whats thepoint of a phone internet, that can spend the datacap in 3 seconds
I just want faster upload speeds
then again, i dont understand why people want 1200 euro phones only to use instagram, twitter, and facebook
i mean wtf
you usally dont need more than 100 mbps speeds unless you are downloading stuff or are a family with 4 netflix streams at once
No options for increasing that with home broadband here in this country
money well pissed away
My download speeds are fine
My upload speeds are terrible
Considering too I had to upload two UE4 projects
I want 100/100 but even if I had the money and were paying for it, we can only do 200/10 at most
i dont get why phone companies are so bullish on 5g
i guess they just want to overcharge datacaps faster
My parents are paying for 100/10 home broadband speeds
If not 5g then at least better upload speeds?
If we have to live with corona like this in the future better upload speeds would be a Godsend
At the Huawei store they were trying to get me to buy a 5g phone even though there is no 5g service in the area...
datacap on a phone, what madness is this?
Android Nokia smartphone
I got unlimited phone and I live on the arse end of nowhere
I don't even know what I pay for my phone bill... It is all in Chinese and I just throw random amounts of money on it when it stops working...
UK and US bullshit is what data caps are
...tried buying a Nokia?
Or at least a Samsung?
In the US I usually buy Samsung, but anymore I just get Huawei.
My mother's current smartphone is a Samsung (she prefers iPhones but they're too expensive) likely because of paranoia she has over Huawei
I don't think paranoia around Huawei is unfounded but I don't want racism to happen - some people who start opposing China get straight into racist arguments as opposed to just merely criticising the regime
I walk around with my banned Huawei phone in the US like a badge of honor saying 'fuck you' to anyone who wants to buy into that garbage.
I have bought electronics from mainland Chinese and Taiwanese companies though.
Then I will constantly tease those people that my phone is spying on everything they say, so they might not want to stand too close to me.
And clothes from mainland China too
My mobile carrier is from Hong Kong
Speaking of my mobile carrier I miss the 2000s from it - they had a segment on their mobile site that gave out free stuff to stream on occasion
Even horoscopes
Anyway imma bounce since I have some non-UE4 projects to do.
Unreal is life.
It is but I have stuff I need to write about
Armadillos?
Some TV show but I don't want to say. One that's now bringing me pain because of its creative direction
And how I can't find anything like it.
I dont think that armour would withstand a RPG
If it was an Australian RPG maybe.
rabbit propelled grenade
tell me that isnt the perfect armadillo counter
The armadillo will see it coming and the roll into a ball...
see a rabbit coming lol
Then the explosion will just cause him to roll away.
it might smell it coming, I doubt it'll see shit
Hey !!
Is there a channel for beginner questions?
not really, though general #ue4-general is used for that, and often we direct them to the right channel if need be
Oh cool ...Thank you!!!!!
guys
if Unreal Engine 5 does away with light maps
and have fully dynamic lighting
why there is GPU lightmass ? ;p
legacy support
and there might still be consoles that cannot support the new features properly
switch prolly included
im more interested in his vase full of spatulas
that gpu makes me think nvidia went "How to generate a full bitcoin every minute?"
Yeah I did wonder about the odd kitchen arrangement, must be a special baking kitchen
You can fix GPUs by baking them in an oven.
maybe the spatulas are for thermal paste application π
they might be for oiling his leather...that could be what the whole kitchen is actually for or even the whole floor of the house
wukuwuku
hellyeh
ok
How do I make post in looking for talent?

@proud pier devkit?
@fringe sundial aye
Can someone tell me about the AMD Ryzen 3 3200G ? It says the memory spec is 2933MHz, which is great.. but I'm building this for a friend on a tight budget. So I am hoping this chip supports lower clocks without issue.
source: https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-3-3200g
@ember fog slower and higher speeds should be fine. What you want to do is check the motherboard QVL/CVL list
note that AMD Ryzen CPU's do benefit from dual channel & the fastest memory they can support, it makes a difference with them
I notice also that a lot of boards specify they support a xyz generations of ryzen chips. Is the socket type no longer sufficient to tell compatibility?
From my experience, which is limited, it can mean that it might need a bios update to use it.
Which if you don't have a processor to boot the board with can be a problem.
lol, ya that'd be an issue
I wonder if I should bother looking for a board that supports higher than 3 then, in case he upgrades the cpu
I wouldn't worry about it. Boards are cheap and if he needs to upgrade from that then a new board is probably on the table too.
maybe, his budget is pretty tight
I gotta do what I can with $500
so micro atx for starters XD
it's funny, they used to be more expensive
hmm I guess there is no gen 4 anyway
I'm use to everyone talking about the 3900 and glanced over it above.
nah he's gettin a cheapo quad core
Yeah, I use to use full towers but anymore a micro atx is perfect for most stuff.
ya my next rig myself will be something I can put on a desk
More stuff is on board and usually all you need is a vid card as far as slots go anymore.
my last rig uses a sabertooth r3 board, and a thermaltake level 10 case which is huge and has 5 hot swap hdd bays
i think i came up with a small idea i can work on
im this medieval dude with a sword and shield
Ground breaking.
and zombies come spawning in waves and i have to beat as many waves as possible
what if instead, you tried to psycho analyze the zombies, and prescribe treatments
what you mean?
well you bottle neck the waves of zombies
and you strap one (at a time) into a chair, then ask it about it's mother and father
do not rely on the socket type, AM4, to determine compatiblity. The chipset is a big part of that, for example 350 chips might not support 3rd gen ryzen. etc. Motherboard compatibility list..... memory and cpu.... need to read them
that's too complicated
too bad, I'd totally watch that on twitch
Alright, I'll focus my efforts into getting a good board chipset then
memory list = mobo
not really CPU
but yeah, like all ryzen, faster the better
3200 is min
3600 is prime
ehhh
I was thinking of starting guy out on 2400
so you know.. like 6 times faster than his memory
I think I built this min spec rig for 500 or 600
It's linux-based also
didn't want to spend money on win10 (but I ended up buying license just in case)
you doin the vfio?
oh wait you just purely use linux, no gaming?
I only have like 20 games that run on linux
ASUS TUF B450M-PLus Gaming is the mobo I got btw
well same chipset as the board I'm looking at for 114$
You should look over on PC parts picker they have a few Ryzen5 builds that are around $500
Not sure I like this site
Just clicked on a ryzen 5 build that looked too good to be true, and it was.
All the hardware is listed as $0.00
the only price listed is the windows license
The 0s are caused by price changes or stock issues. You can edit the parts list though and find current parts prices.
just seems like more work than finding the hardware directly
since apparently the aggregate prices can be super wrong
apparently there are some potential issues regarding certain AMD CPUS and mobo BIOS, not being able to access the 32MB BIOS. Something to keep in mind. https://youtu.be/T5X-8vZtml8
We did a lot of digging on AMD's B450 & X470 motherboard support with Zen 3 for this in-depth research on AMD BIOS limitations (including older CPUs being unable to address 32MB).
Sponsor: Buy Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on Amazon (https://geni.us/1D8Eeq) or Hydronaut paste (...
i don't get why people had to get impatient and spoil the whole thing
so what y'all think the next epic game mystery gonna be?
i saw a rumor that said it was gonna be civilization 6, i hope not tbh
apparently people are arseholes a lot of the time. Such is life.
The next game will be "Unreal Tournament 4" fully completed and polished. Or at least my dream said it would be
lol
i saw a article that said may 20 civilization 6, may 28 borderlands the handsome collection and june 4th ark survivial evolved
im not sure tho
but if those are correct than im ok with it, not my favorites but pretty solid games
I have more games than I have time to play. But being that im done for the day. Time for some Gears Tactics π
scratch that. want some first person action.
do y'all play fps with controller or mouse and keyboard? im just curious
mouse and keyboard for life!
Touchpad ||jk, mouse and keyboard||
@red pewter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xEpTHoBIVc there is one moment where shuttle flips over, if you see it, that's a problem with the mod I used to run custom software xD
I wrote a simple realtime cooperative scheduled multitasking OS for this xD
Things got pretty dicey there for a moment, lol
very cool
But there was no way for me to generate commands that would keep it steady at that point
Same with the instability in control at 6:40
There was no way for me to keep controls running smooth and modify the required guidance parameters at the same time without weird discrepancies xD
So the autopilot is clearly tuned to the lower speeds and lower altitudes in that flight mode
You know, the feeling of having your spacecraft finally be lined up with a runway after a very complex long spaceflight is incredible xD
yeah, can't wait for KSP 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAK4trYTfW4 here's the ascent part of that
It legitimately does verify the engine performance before the spacecraft is released from the launch pad xD
I check strain sensors on the rocket to make sure the engines are producing an estimated level of thrust
I've had multiple launch aborts due to some issue
This also does have abort modes
Supports ditching, return back to launch site & manual abort to orbit
all automatically? wow
Semi-auto aborts
Autopilot stabilizes you for ditching and landing, but you have to steer it manually
Same as on the real shuttle
Mostly because aborts have too wide of an envelope and developing the software for it is harder than training the pilots xD
yeah, I guess when it comes down to it having a person inside who knows what levers to pull beats out a riskier solution
That ascent goes a little funny just because of KSP scale and how simple of an algorithm drives it xD
Because I had to lock angles for stage separation, it has to do some over-correction
I think if KSP was more realistic it would just frustrate noobs like me
I previously done all this same stuff on a realistic simulator (that I wrote lol)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9mR-Njq8_M excuse the crudeness all over the place and some jarring sequencing issues
A test flight of SV-201, which will be available in the next X-Space.
I was a teenager at the time so I did my best with what I could π
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7ymTWBnVpg and rockets too
https://github.com/PhoenixBlack/OV-Firmware and here's the realtime OS I wrote for kerbals & guidance software for the KSP shuttle xD
well, thanks for showing me this neat stuff
No worry, I post it in lounge from time to time xD
@fathom wadi I will try to make Unreal style classic FPS but with Uncharted style action story with small budget π
Total Flop is coming completed %15.
Your going to make one level?
40 level game with co-op 4 players. You are an adventurer trying to solve a mystery.
First person shooters are probably the easiest thing to make. Almost everything in that regard is already made for you.
yes i already bought some blueprints to use π
I modified some of them disabled HP regen etc. Carrying 12 guns at same time like classic arena fps
A lot of it is already in the engine by default... just have to open it up... But there are certain aspects that some good marketplace assets could be useful.
I will buy Sci-Fi Armor Pack for enemy cyborg soldiers
But you can't make a 40 level Uncharted style action adventure game on a small budget.
Each level made by me.
So you want to finish your game in 2040?
Also, Uncharted's big selling point is how cinematic it is, something that doesn't really blend well with a first person camera.
Nobody can make an Uncharted quality level in a week. Not even Naughty Dog.
Half-Life style story telling i will choose. But story is not about Aliens.
I will not make quality stuff
So your Uncharted style action adventure isn't going to resemble Uncharted in any way, shape, or form.
Ok.
It will have action story
No cutscenes
also third person support
optional
there are dialogues for npcs
If you want to make an oldschool first person shooter game with lots of environments to shoot through on a small budget, that seems very doable.
Not sure why you need 40 levels, but it seems like you could rush through them and make a bunch if you aren't looking for quality or unique aspects between them.
my budget is 50K, I will start after i finish my work. I will quit my job.
Levels are as big as De_Dust2.
They are walking and story areas between areas.
10 hour long story is not high for FPS.
My storyline is 10 hours of shooting through arenas
I wanted make a long game but i guess 20 levels with more quality will be better but than game will be a 5 hour game.
20 levels for a 5 hour game...
So 15 minutes per level?
What is your definition of a level?
It will take 10-20 minutes kill 50 enemies i placed in a level that is as big as 500 x 500 meters.
But you are going to re-use environments, right?
There are Flying Robots, regular soldiers, turrets, tanks and helicopters in every level.
I will re-use some parts but no copy paste.
These are Military Outposts you clear out military locations and capture them and progress story
Containers, Shipping Crates, Barrels, Walls etc. things like that will be re-used but buildings etc. will be different.
Do you have one level done yet?
I would make sure one level works good before quiting my job and spending $50,000.
datasmith 2021: File > Import
Also, Uncharted's big selling point is how cinematic it is, something that doesn't really blend well with a first person camera.
There are movies entirely shot in first person perspective - cloverfield, grave encounters, hardcore henry.
Bad movies, Mr. Vicbay.
Even Alfred Hitchcock tried to do a movie in a similar way, and the main thing he learned from it is why we make use of all these other tools in cinematography... because it sucks when you have to film from one perspective...
Bad movies, Mr. Vicbay.
They have pretty good scores on imdb, and I like them, so they are not bad
I will have to disagree on that one, but you can like whatever you want.
vicbay are you making this project with the hope to make a living off it?
or just a hobby / study thing
Are you referring to the conversation above? Because that was, Mr. Kirito's project.
But you might be referring to something else, and in that case just ignore me.
I do like coffee...
its one of the worlds treasures
I was thinking about making a game that involved money laundering, bunnies, and coffee...
Maybe some currency manipulation and a steam train as well.
well a coffee addicted gangster launders money in stuffed bunnies
The mafia that I write about in some of my short stories actually has a shoe company as a front. They use giant bunnies to deliver shoes to people, but inside said shoes you will find the smuggled booze.
It is sort of the industrial revolution, so having rubber on the bottom of shoes is kind of the new cool thing.
haha
so high fantasy and gritty gang related at the same time
only a manga could produce this
Nothing fantasy about it.
i thought you mean giant bunnies like some strange creature
Simply biology.
They don't use any sort of magic to make the bunnies big, they just evolved that way over the years.
It is closer to sci-fi that just so happens to be in the industrial revolution.
that would make for some nice looking art style
The leader of the mafia pretends to be magic, but it is all just science that is beyond the very limited knowledge of the uneducated public.
my personal project is forever failing at field to forest transitions
kingdom come deliverance set the bar of natural transitions way up high
I guess its more leaving it up the proc foliage spawners will never get a real natural effect
Why would trees grow in one area and not grow in another?
i think there is many many factors for that
Exactly.
Look at why there is a transition and put the transition in the right place.
I don't know as much about rolling hills and flat planes, but for my environment it is all about the rivers and how the downcutting of the water has shaped the mountain ecosystem over generations.
oh
im running off satelite data
so the transitions are where they need to be, it's just a matter of how they are executed
so the procedural foliage spawner (I think) lacks the ability to place the less mature foliage at the edges of the area
I think this is why in kingdom come deliverance they hand painted the foliage
You would have to figure out a way for the generator to know that the area was the edge of the forest.
I think the best but least efficient way would be to have a seperate layer / spawner of a transition phase which spawns edge / less mature foliage
but yeah at the expense of adding an aditional layer
You guys should visit the edge of a forest for reference
typically its from land clearing not because the forest grew so big π
very hard transitions, its rarely soft
@hasty cargo study biomes
Biology is answer
To understanding of life
π€£
But really, you can procedurally calculate transition area
I don't know how you handle that, but in texturing you can detect edge by overlaying the same mask on top, shifting it by few pixels and calculating difference
Do that three times with angle 120
And you will get edge data
good tip!
I think I figured it, maybe
using layer weights on the foliage, so the mature tree's only spawn on 1.0 and immature can spawn on below .5 and have soft transition phases
Also there are other methods of edge detecting, look into procedural texturing. But artists manipulate premade function nodes, and you need to code, I assume
yes, study how forests are layered in real life
And just because a satelite says it should be one way doesn't mean that's what looks most natural to the eye.
I think what happens more on the edges is younger trees but they are less dense, you get a further scattering then eventually that area gets denser over time so you get trees of varying ages together. Its why man made forests look so fake vs natural
but with the edges of the denser bit it tends to be formations or some sort of natural barrier which prevents it growing further like rock, rivers, mountains, roads
I think in general there are a few scenarios which arnt suited to games, for example I was attempting to capture an Australian desert. The wide openness is problematic, do I cull and use fogging to fake it? I can exaggerate the hills but there is just so much distance, even if I scale the real area down I end up with a huge view distance because theres no real horizon rolling over.
Best I can think of is like water, do a fake ground which rolls to the horizon and blends to the real landscape. Ideally I would want loading zones to bring in different skyboxes to really enhance the landmarks for navigation.
yeah far viewdistances are a nightmare
theres sometimes no artistic solution, so gotta use low cost proxies and stuff
It would be really cool if there were a technical solution, unfortunately the UE5 demo had a quite small FOV in the crevice at the end there. Tall mountains is a common trick to cutting and with nice blockers
you know how it is with tech demos tho
look at infiltrator its still not realistic performance wise imo
Ive still not seen a game with Samaritan style morphing
Hell even when they show stained glass, I dont remember seeing a heap of games using that either
That water in the UE5 demo though, its abit funny that UE2 had that
Im sure the plane is alittle denser than it was back then though π
that actually got ported to ue4 for a while there, highly unstable though
fluidsurfaces bug me, if they aren't high resolution wavelets, I feel you get more realistic results with some well made particle fx
those low res ones end up looking like honey or something
One thing I am curious about though is with this audio system stuff, like using sound to drive a water material or somethin π
You could just play the footstep audio loud for eg and it creates ripples in the vertex shader
Being linked to Niagara will make a huge difference too, Im curious about vector fields influenced by music for eg, could be really crazy for some alien firefly shit
the water in UE5 was not communicated well enough
it is fully volumetric
and simulated fluid
that was the point of showing it
still it was not flat plane
Testing upcoming UE4.25 Niagara features.
This combines this fluidsim level below with niagara particles:
World'/Landmass/Landscape/Maps/Landmass_Erosion_ShallowWater.Landmass_Erosion_ShallowWater'
Rendering is using an experimental raymarch shader with refraction supporting...
that would be better probabaly to show it ;p
I'm going to try that with beer.
they have Chaos Fields, that should hit before UE5
I just hope the volumetric framework will be in far better state for U5 release
can't wait for fully volumetric dynamic clouds
and fire ;d
Yeah the tools around some of that took ages to come online
in 4.25 it is still dead slow
Chaos integration should help, Im just not sure if all these interconnecting systems will be stable. Ive not tested it enough to know
UE5 Alpha test is good
Isn't that just UE4?
I'm going to download The Witcher 3.
and some other fixes because now the can break more compatibility (
updated BP hehe
I just got 4 boxes in the mail...
loot them...
unboxing
It's mostly just non-perishable food for the next lockdown.
I'm set for about 3 years...
Ive been busy digging my new bunker
I'll get robbed the first day of the apocalypse and still starve to death.
my epic library is so full with all the free games that I can't find the game I remember buying last week
why would you buy a game 
because I had to get rid of that $10 coupon 
makes sense π
maybe i should buy something too
otherwise I loose 10$
that's how it works 
yes
I bought The Witcher 3. Cost me $5.
I heard that one will be free this week
though that seems unlikely
Ive had the witcher 3 for years and never played it lol
considering it's being sold right now
Just pennies compared to the amount of money I have lost in the past 3 months.
don't think they ever made a game free that was selling on egs previously
It is 2% downloaded... I should probably turn my VPN off...
civ 6 will be free next
I already have Civ 6. Not any of the DLC however.
I would get it on Epic Games Store and then buy the DLC through Epic Games Store just to not give Valve my money.
I thought epic uses amazon web scam to provide downloads? shouldn't they have practically infinite bandwidth?
we're doing our part to help big business
It should say, since Take Two are cheap arses Amazon has decided to cap their shit π
I like how the "limited" bandwidth is maxing out my connection anyway
94GB man, I wonder how much of that is the Online part
more than half
we need affordable storage
80 bucks for 3tb from an unrealiable brand no good
my recent experience is that 10 years later seagate is still unreliable total shit garbage
what is with this 2fa baiting
EOS? requires 2fa
what do you mean
all the other shit dosnt have 2fa
...then enable 2fa
like gta v it said it needs 2fa
but i just clicked download and it downloaded
I don't have 2fa
enabled
the requirement was probably to stop people from using the free GTA to get infinite in game currency
we should just chip everyone
then enable 2fa? It's not rocket science
it costs you nothing except the smallest bit of effort
wierd I just got it, no 2fa
yeah
I like this news for Tony Hawks remaster
no MTX at launch
why dont they just say when and what the content will be to promote it π
its like a lockbox!
black box
orange box
Redbox?

@deep glen Oh I got this also, 59 dollars for the 1 yr unlimited subscription? In the checkout it does really have 59 dollars, should I get it?
its always that price (give or take) its up to you, but I personally dont really see the value in these packs
With Megascans, Texture Haven, and CC0 Textures, I don't see any reason to buy textures unless I need something very specific, which is not what you get in a pack.

@scenic glen
I also have a ton of unused points on Substance Source.
Between Substance Designer, QixMix, and all the free stuff out there, I can't see myself needing anything I don't already have.
U am painting and I am so bored, I could be at home crying about math right now
QixMix is a great way to just grab an asset out of the Quixel library and quickly edit it to fit the style of your game and then throw it in.
For the kind of things that just sit in the background and you don't want to waste the time opening up Blender and making a pile of firewood or whatever.
QixMix can make it look like it is somewhat hand painted in a few minutes.
You can use other textures in QixMix, Mr. Ponkkis.
These are the kind of tools I needed back in 2012...
I remember back before normal maps and we would go into Photoshop and hand paint shadows onto a texture... I really hated that kind of stuff...
This procedural stuff is so much better.
UE4 seems to be a little confused
I totally said turn SSGI on in VR
But it heard "how quickly can you shut down"
@deep glen @north torrent Hi yes I am using marketplace assets, quixel megascans, bridge/mixer, cc0textures etc. But I was finding a huge library for 3d models. I followed the link I got a 59 dollar 1 yr unlimited downloads at cgaxis (original price they say is 349$). What I really want is the 3d models for my interior and landscape scene. I just bought it right now, 59 dollars for the whole year. I was really scared, but yeah I got all the 3d models plus the textures. Aside from unreal format they have other 3d formats as well. But I agree with @deep glen regarding such kind of advertising.
I went for it since I am not a good 3d modeller etc. hehe But I love making 3d scenes. It is a 1 yr subscription, so I am trying to get all the stuff I need.
I don't know much about downloading 3d models, but it sounds like it could be helpful for blocking out a level.
You will probably want to edit the textures in QixMix or something so you can make all your assets fit the project.
But I would just block out how you want your level to work first before worrying about that stuff.
That's kind of a polish thing.
For those confused Mao is referring to Quixel Mixer2020
Or maybe it was a Polish thing.
Yes I am also using quixel mixer, ill probably edit some textures
Polished Polish things
Did I tell you about the odd dream I had the other night?
Nope only the even one.
Well, in my dream Unity got into the business of making toothbrushes specifically for game developers, and they were actually much better at that than making game engine...
Why do game developers need special toothbrushes? I have no idea...
extra strength for all the coffee and cigarettes and pizza
cigarette pizza yum
Sounds like a toothpaste flavor.
needs more ashes
and rusty nails
@hollow mica
I'm sure you can find rusty nails on Quixel.
Make an online world editor with all the free Quixel assets π
most of these are from quixel haha
thats a nice comic style effect
In my game story there are 3 human empires and there are 5 different Galaxies populated by humans.
There are 100-200 galaxies farmed by humans for resource collection. Some galaxy only used for energy storage and production.
But for Space Exploration humans using AI Robots.
There are some countries that are ruled by AI.
Humans can't fight other nations without using advanced AI.
But humans can't control AI, human have to make deals with smart AI in order to use them.
Also military force of human empires 99.999% machines and robots, you can't see human soldiers, only humans you can see are Security Guards in safe areas, all dangerous jobs nearly all jobs made with machines.
Human Population is nearly 20 billion.
Every human has a few million robot servants. That he can use.
There are Production Planets no humans live only machines
A Production Planet can produce 1 billion Android daily.
Humans living 200 years due to advanced tech.
But they can become AI after they die.
Only %1 humans are rich other humans are servants to rich also.
Game takes place in 2100.
Also Hard Sci-Fi everything explained by physics laws.
It's the real deal. This is an Epic-made build of Gears of War 3 for PS3. This build is dated May 19 2011, and is the only build of this ever located. As far as I know I'm also the only person with a working build of this particular data as well. I don't know why it exists, I ...
any1 using google hangouts?
epic intended to be ported after the contract was over with Microsoft but instead Microsoft buy the ip to avoid the port
π€
Maybe.
Just discovered that the engine has a hidden built in feature for PCSS shadows!
the build was founded in one of many companies hacks
Finally got my new laptop, ryzen 4700u CPU. 58 minutes compile time from a clean to finish of the master branch. Averaged ~3.8ghz on all cores the entire build. Not going to complain too much about that considering it's a 3lb 14" laptop lol
i allways wonder why they use spit instead of cooling paste on laptops π
its been averaging about 70c on the cpu at full tilt. Its an impressive little machine but just makes me want a 4800hs more lol
it usually cracks a bit after a year and u have to repaste
but than everything is glued together inside
i dont fix laptops anymore
yeah I just repasted a 2 year old one we had here, the paste was meh
its basically impossible now
but I repaste all my machines yearly normally so not really an issue redoing it. spring clean the whole thing
they also wunna go superthin all the time
yea totally need to vacuum ur hardware from time to time
well i got a compressor so i use that
I just wanted something middle of the line I could do basic UE4/work stuff on that wasnt going to break my lap in bed
I had an older 14" lenovo with an 840m but at this point it's really really old and the cpu was just not cutting it. Checking out the new Ryzen's and so far so good
gasstation tire pumps are good for cleaning pc aswell
my lenovo sweats at 90-95 C when I compile anything
yep the old one was just a dual core but being a 2in1 the stupid cooling system was π¦

terrible bundle
literally everything but the 14 euro bundle is worthless
so its basically 14 euros for tekken and berseria
which might be worth it, i think its the cheapest tekken has been
enslaved is nice, altho quite old game by now
Tekken get discount only during Bandai Namco sales not even during normals sales the game get discounts
stretches
I only played tekken 3 on playstation π

CyberConnect2 is great at doing cinematics in games

graphics is the least of my worry
because
features are the most
of it
hell YEH!
have you heard ubisoft is going for a triple kill IRL?
idk man fps are similar to each other by nature
Just see their trailer at Google and yeah it seems pretty much like a clone

just WHO

Ok karen
USA will inherit it then
I admit I'm spoiled by graphics but eliminating mechanics (ahem Saints Row franchise ahem) will piss me off too. Accessibility is something important too.
I don't like graphics and I don't like mechanics
I wish games did not have gameplay
Oh, and replay value, art style and almost everything else but story except in a few cases
My favorite videogame is the Howard the Duck movie
Normally I don't pay attention to story in gameplay but if I do it might either be one of the few things I like about the game (EVE: Online) or aspects of it will be among the worst things about the game (eg GTA V's character dynamic compared to the previous game)
I used to play so much GTA: London
i miss the gouranga era
I'm preparing my levels for my game, i think i will use most of my budget in level design hire some people to help me.
Buy a cat.
Cats understand level design better than any of us.
Yes, verticality very important for arena shooters.
Cats are predator and prey. Understanding their environment has been built in to them through evolution.
They know the lines of sight, they know where the high ground is, they know the exits to a room.
They are the worlds most fine tuned killing machine in a package small and fluffy enough for you to pick up and hug.
price / performance monster like AMD.
In the gpu market AMD is more like a Panda...
in cpu market AMD is very good.
in gpu market next gen consoles using AMD so AMD is better than Nvidia for prices.
Sony and Microsoft smarter than me, if they use AMD , i will use it too.
Only recently...
I still think Nvidia is better price to performance than AMD in the gpu market.
I'm still taking a $300 Nvidia over a $300 AMD anyday.
My future prediction is this, AMD going to destroy Nvidia in 2021 just watch it π
I mean AMD going to sell more gpu and get more revenue than Nvidia
Nvidia is not going out of business
My future prediction is that Intel retakes the cpu market in 2 or 3 years.
I'll buy a Ryzen 4700x for my next rig, but I'm not sold on the belief that AMD has any staying power in the long run.
I don't care about Intel, AMD or Nvidia i only look this PRICE / PERFORMANCE RATIO. I will use my brain, I'm not a fanboy.
Only company I am a fanboy of is Noctua.
I am just skeptical of companies that have disappointed a lot in the past.
Also Half-Life Alyx best game ever made.
Steam is killing gaming, Mr. Kirito.
I cant see any game released in 2020 better than Half-Life Alyx.
VR is the king
I dont own a VR headset right now but i will soon buy one.
I don't see Flat Screens in future, it's old school, all games will switch to VR in next 5 to 10 years.
VR isn't for me.
VR with 5 Senses what i need
In a VR game i can touch, smell, feel, hear and see.
But it will not come until 2030-2040
Brain User Interfaces still under development.
I am experimenting with making games for blind people, but that's a story for another time.
I have to actually go to work today... Only day of the week I have to physically walk to work, every other day is just online.
Fully Immersed VR simulations will be next big thing and we are slowly going there.
I want to inject VR into my left eyeball
Open World gaming also here to stay.
They should make a game about doctors who are fighting against virus style game, doctors and nurses are real heros right now.
Doctors are right now noscoping corona and 420 blazing it.
Call of Duty: Corona Warfare: Doctors Edition.
That sounds incredibly boring and like it would be outdated in 1 week
No there are two teams one team doctors using M4A1, MP5s etc.
Other team are infected trying to go out of the prison and spread the virus
using AK47s and Uzis
Also there will be patients must be protected, if all of the patients die than doctors loose
Atleast this story better than Last of Us Part 2
I can. just watch me RP
It's not your real wife, but your roleplaying wife
I can use a RPG that will be over.
Your wife will literally respawn
Respawns but there are server rules like New Life Rule.
If Roleplayers not follow rules admin going to kick them.
Only squares follow the NLR
Atleast in Serious Roleplay servers, everything has consequences.
The experience of DarkRP shows that the primary goal of such roleplaying is to break NLR in the most effective way and not get noticed by the admin
yeah that's right.
You must be creative, silent and fast go under the radar. Also some friends to lie if you cought.
Precisely
I can marry with my wife in Skyrim Special Edition.
But she's not real.
She's most beautiful pixels i have married. And she does not complain to me either.
I had a wife, but they took her in the divorce
Maybe if they make Android Robots with Smart AI i can marry with a robot.
I can have multiple wives that can be programmed by me cool.
I still need a one real woman for making a child, and that woman going to accept my robot waifus..

I'm just joking not serious.
I'm also joking. I'm the wife and I'm not divorced
I watched it. That's really cool.
GTA VR will be awesome if done right.
You can play as any job you want.
If i marry a girl i want her to dress like someone i like i hope she accept it π Atleast sometimes.
I'm pretty sure "my wife is okay with what I like" is like, one of the good requirements for a successful marriage
Thanks, we will develop games together i can add her to my video game as character too, she will like it.
Even if i get a girl friend i will get one free developer for my team that will lower the cost of production.
I have a suggestion
If you are polyamorous, you can have multiple girlfriends for increased productivity gains
Imagine if you had your girlfriends husbands lovers to help working on it too
that's good idea.
Girlfriend? What's that?
Female human that you like to talk and do activities together.
aka sandwich maker
lol
Atleast you get a good sandwich.
A girlfriend doesn't have to be female
IT'S MA'AM.
A girlfriend is more state of mind than what's in your pants
I prefer female gender and i have light skin color so am i racist?
I'm 20 and never had a girlfriend lol
Friendzoned every time, literately don't even care anymore
I'm friendzoned to my friend 2 times, i had one real girlfriend than she left me.
I was doing everything right, I care her like a queen, I made her my queen that she left me, I think she wants a bad boy. I'm kind and gentle π
The last girl I was interested in we ended up as very good friends
If I eventually run into someone who likes me then great and if I don't who cares, thinking about constantly and trying to desperately find someone will drive you crazy, it's better if it happens unexpectedly
True, I hope you will find what you are looking for.
What is this nice guys anonymous happening here lol
Did you know that girls... are human? Just like you!
And that you can build a relationship in many ways just like you can with guys. And that people regardless of gender all like roughly same things (like attention and to be heard) xD
Microsoft must be spying me, yesterday I needed that and look π
thank god tomorrow is a holiday
Hmm interesting comment here about UE5 demo, someone asked for Epic to release it but they want the packaged demo as a benchmark
anyone here ordering something via Economy Int'l Postage
? i ordered something on april 21th. still not there.
have you tried calling the company? π€
was the company even shipping orders / open for business, is a good first question
and then it really depends where you're shipping from or to
uk to germany π
that would normally take a week or less
In China it takes forever to mail things internationally.
why, do they manually inspect the content?
@north torrent uk -ger
All these corono/g5/bill gates/who/nwo conspiracies are getting so fckng boring, why do people keep eating that nonsense up like sugar?
they want to feel special
@sage tendon because some of them are more true than you think https://lmgtfy.com/?q=gordon+brown+global+government
you have not done a format for that many years?!
WOOHOOHOO
ue5 when
trying to do non-photo real graphics in UE4 in 2020 is making me pull my hair π
but photos arnt real
uncanny valley graphics in 2020
these Homers look like a character from TOOL music video
obvious niagara particles
Some people hate Jews, technology and immigration and internationalism
That's the root of those conspiracies generally
Also I prefer AMD now for GPUs and CPUs since they're better for cross platform work in my experience
sadly no g-sync
no g-sync but it's a feature i'm not fussed about - granted, i'm not someone who is rolling in stacks of cash at the moment
nvidia gpu + amd cpu is the ideal combination currently

hah, needed a laugh
it would be ideal but sometimes on linux i just have a shit time with nvidia drivers (especially proprietary ones after updates, needed for non-UE4 workloads like CUDA)
on windows this is not likely an issue
i prefer to not be limited to just Windows generally
So here is the important question. If you were to put a Tesla Truck into Unreal Engine 5, how many triangles would you use?
https://i.insider.com/5dd7f73efd9db269c1036f38?width=1100&format=jpeg&auto=webp
6 million for that door alone.
nah, 20 million for the door
50 for the car and 50.000 for the breaking window
that have more triangles than any gameengine can provide

Life was designed to make fun of people who use MacBook Pros.
I went to a web page the other day and I really got the impression that the standard needs an update. What a mess.
how much vram do you guys recommend for using ue4 for more expensive(to run) stuff?
48GB
NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 is the most significant advancement in computer graphics in two decades.
This will be fine for gaming
Might as well get 2 for SLI
no, game development is what i mean
using 4gb vram is a big struggle
can't even import 3d plants from megascans π¦
All the VRAM!
throw it in the fire!
so basically use ssd storage as vram lol 
Gotta have at least 8gb for serious stuff.
@north torrent yes, i was planning on getting a 8gb gpu
4gb is for plebs.
4gb is for plebs.
@north torrent its a budget graphics card dont judge me
Are you a pleb, Mr. Interitus?
yes
lol
i was thinking on a rtx 2070 super or a 2080 super but idk
well that was a mistake. Loaded geforce experience to check my vidcard. so now its updating...
gonna wait for rtx 30- series tho
5, 7, 9, 10, 20, 16, 30...
you forgot 6
Someone needs to teach Nvidia how to count.
I have a 1070, so whatever ram that has
also, i think there's an gtx 8 series for laptops
everything.
It's all your fault.
no
How can we trust people with unlimited triangle power when they don't even notice that 30 does not come after 20?
RTX and GTX are different though, so I will let it slide.
But non ray tracing gpus should have continued at GTX 1160 not 1660.
same as 960 doesn't come after 780
And RTX should have gone 20, 21, 22, 23.
Skipping a number is not unforgivable though.
Skipping 9 numbers, that is.
970 should be called 961
2070 should be called 2061
and 2080 should be 2062
1660 should be 1651
no
Do it!
