there's no real gameplay value for that in my game but it might be funny if you could just take a random video, pop it into a VCR and watch it

That could be cool

Yeah :D
My idea was basically to have a number of basic story concepts, like "rescue a princess" or whatever, which could have some attributes that control to give it some variety
then you'd generate "scenes" based on it, and you could then have AI characters play it out in front of a scenecapture lol

That sounds like a cool idea

@fresh heath that's great and hopefully the same happens with animation, Blender can be slightly laggy when animating rigs with lots of polys and controls
altrough there's a method to animate using proxys if i'm not mistaken

fun fact for anyone that ever needs to calculate the max speed of a boat as MPH.
Formula is sqrt(horsepower / weight lbs) * c where c is a constant determined by vessel type such as:
c = 150 (average runabouts, cruisers, passenger vessels)
c = 190 (high-speed runabouts, very light high-speed cruisers)
c = 210 (race boats)
catamarans and high-speed catamarans have a higher constant of 250 and 275ish

4.26 preview!!!
carmine frigate
it was a lil crashy for me
north torrent
Might be the last time for Unreal 4...
broken sigil
yeah I think they said 4.26 is the last major ue4 version (might be wrong tho)
north torrent
I would bet that there is still going to be a 4.27. But I see 4.26 as a real possibility as well.
carmine frigate
i think they wil keep porting fixes and updates to 4.26
but they might make it 4.27 when they get to 4.26.9
broken sigil
ue5 preview is relatively close, we should have a preview in the next like half a year more or less
north torrent
The end is nigh.
fresh heath
I wonder how difficult it's going to be to migrate a project from 4.26 or 4.27 to 5.0
carmine frigate
depends on what is in the project i guess ๐
foggy path
My understanding was that it shouldn't be crazily difficult
carmine frigate
any art stuff should be no problem
foggy path
But it probably depends a lot on what you're doing
carmine frigate
custom engine stuff mayB not so much

I haven't tried to mess with the engine customization yet in my project
It's mostly C++ code with some light blueprints here and there
Don't have a lot of art either yet

I'm kind of curious about the physx vs chaos performance
fresh heath
I'm curious how Chaos is going to affect vehicles
Hopefully it won't break them at least

I tried making a vehcile with chaos yesterday, couldnt get it to work

It will probably be easier for people like me who work on art than programmers.
tulip orbit
it looks like it'll be a good system once the bugs are worked out
north torrent
If they come up with a way for me to just import my levels and have the terrain the same and all my objects in the right locations, that will make me happy.
I'm not so sure about user interfaces. That might be something I have to re-make from the ground up in Unreal V.
But I am going off speculation and not any real information.
carmine frigate
also you dont have to use UE5 ๐
also this might be the least stable preview version ive seen
i have seen some unstable non preview versions tho
rigid shoal
I doubt UE5 is something so spectacular (in the first year or so) that it would be worth committing a huge migration (if migration is difficult).
There were a good chunk UE3 games launching even when UE4 was in like... ~4.10.
north torrent
You don't have to use Unreal 5. I do.
zinc matrix
Hello everyone
north torrent
I won't be porting my current game to Unreal 5. But I plan to either port or totally re-create the environments eventually, because the same locations are visited in my future stories.
rare sparrow
UE5 will just be a larger than normal update to UE4
It's basically UE4.27, but they're doing some extra changes thanks to the new consoles. Plus, it generates hype and gets more people talking about it
carmine frigate
it wil prolly just be a checkbox... UE5 checked

ive been playing rocket league for 2 days, already bored(?) me, though it addicted me at first. really sick game if you are a newbie and play with friends vs other nubs - perfect setting to enjoy this game for long time. but if you play a while (not so long while) or try to learn to be better at ranked games, youre actually memorizing everything and the game becomes less and less enjoyable. only thing that changes every game is enemy skill, and rewards are only visual,and 90% of time you have to unlock them with IRL money.

@zinc matrix I have 1.2k hours in it and I'm enjoying it more than I did the first day, especially now when I got up to C3/GC
broken sigil
at first it seems like it's the same thing over and over again but at higher levels with more skilled players the gameplay gets much much different
carmine frigate
i played some of it with a friend, kinda fun
carmine frigate
bit simple
broken sigil
yeah you can, I never used VC
Most people in higher ranks know how to rotate properly and how to position themselves so communication is not really an issue
broken sigil
Champ 3 div 4, every know and then end up in GC and drop back down to C3

it's a lot of grinding but it feels rewarding when you rank up
The most difficult ranks to rank up from in my experience were plat and diamond because at that point it requires from you to have some game sense and mechanical skills
Also at that point is where the game gets toxic as all hell lol
but that's the part of the fun
carmine frigate
to me it feels like mortal combat with less buttons ๐
broken sigil
usually no, when 1 player is attacking the other one is usually at mid field trying to predict where the ball is gonna go, you only rotate back if you know the enemy will get to the ball quicker or you mate didn't recover yet then you rotate back to goal to buy time
zinc matrix
in rankeds 3v3 i just stay at gate
but normals 3v3 i attac
and back when need
i mean
im after the ball all the time
in normals
but ranked people would then just shoot...
broken sigil
a golden rule is if your teammate is around the ball just leave it, don't get close to it and just wait for a pass, when you get the possession of the ball don't shoot and try to control it, also you don't have to hit every ball that comes your way, if you know the enemy team doesn't have a chance to shot at goal just leave it and position yourself for a better chance of counterattack
zinc matrix
ok
yeah i cant really cooperate
with others

would be super hard for me to score ball passed by someone else

training packs can help you a lot to develop skills quicker

there are like different training packs created by community that you can use to train, it was at least there in the steam version, haven't checked if it's still there in the Epic store version
This is what games usually look like around GC rank (not my video, just a random one I found)
https://youtu.be/VoGYyKmnzIs?t=302
zinc matrix
but why bother
getting gc rank
i dont care
this is not rewarding enough
that and visuals (mostly paid for irl money)
it wont cut it
i feel like me and my time is scammed
cause only progression is skill but it will cap at some point
broken sigil
For me the fun part about it is getting more and more skilled
And it comes down to if you like competitive games or not
zinc matrix
also games r not only skill but also huge part luck
i like competetive games but i dont like when only progression is visuals and skill
broken sigil
at higher ranks it's 90% skill, there is hardly any chance at winning by luck
At lower ranks luck can play a role because most people are new and miss most of the shots
zinc matrix
at higher ranks it's 90% skill, there is hardly any chance at winning by luck
get two teams with similar skill and luck will decide
yeah tis annoying that i miss shots
broken sigil
In most cases it won't, the team that makes less mistakes will win, I had matches that went 10+ minutes into overtime because we were so close in skill and in all cases one team won because the other one made a mistake. 1 team will always eventually make mistake, you can't keep on playing perfectly forever

causal match-based gameplay with little grind and insta-gratification is where its as right now
zinc matrix
true but how to make such game
i think thing about grind is that youre grinding against AI which is less entertaining than against players
yeah
now i realize that most MMOS i played were only about progression and the gameplay was not too entertaining
OW?
isnt valorant just league of legends in fps model
i need to make my game interesting
in same way rocket league is interesting
its core gameplay
seems the answer is adding minibattle royale to the game
and have both MMO and BR playerbases
yeah,, mmo wont give u constant pressure. XD
so ill have two modes..
nah if last oasis has only 88 plrs
players
then i wont profit on MMO alone
i will make rocket league with space ships

also dmg on collision i think

thing about grinding is that most of the younger gamers don't have an attention span for long grinds and older gamers don't have the time lol

Mobile MMOs. That's where the money is at. ๐ค

the architectures are all different now too. sharding with a proper architecture used to be a standard. Multiple instance servers sitting behind a private lan, a public gateway server, proxy nodes. Now everything is fucking cloud instances
eternal hearth
Romance of the three kingdoms and such?
dim ruin
almost no one buys their own hardware anymore
rigid shoal
Doesn't that make it significantly easier to develop MMOs?
eternal hearth
Couldn't tell ya
dim ruin
and the funny part is, its cheaper to buy your own hardware and co-locate for big titles with that kind of traffic but cloud is so dominant now
eternal hearth
I can't imagine it changes the basic costs mobile or not
rigid shoal
I meant the move to cloud infrastructure.
eternal hearth
Oh. That's more flexible, cheaper is an argument
dim ruin
there was solid reasons for the traditional sharding architecture
security, flexibility, control
ember bramble
where do i go for help?
dim ruin
shit, owning your own hardware on the financial side alone is worth it if you know you'll have the traffic to cover it
eternal hearth
It's always about scale
rigid shoal
You can ask in #ue4-general
dim ruin
cloud makes scaling super easy (and really fucking expensive lol)
rigid shoal
Cloud is definitely more expensive upfront, but... it could be cheaper than doing it in-house.
eternal hearth
Yeah, cloud is best if you have 5k players today and 500k next month, then 5k again
No, cloud is cheaper upfront
It's the long term where it gets more costly
dim ruin
for long running instances under heavy traffic under say a successful mmo-rpg. for match-based games, cloud is definitely the way to go, hands down
dim ruin
heh yeah. I seen the region rates last month. jesus
eternal hearth
Yeah I've seen monthly reports that cost a year of flat lease
But I've also seen cost to build it physical
Provisioning a colo or dc is millions
dim ruin
I just don't feel like cloud is best for say a WoW-type game. maybe for portions of the architecture. Then again, I suppose you could integrate the traditional approach into a cloud environment
dim ruin
the idea of having the servers on a private lan that never touches the web and having a dual-nic gateway as the single entry point into the farm is ideal for that though
dim ruin
thats how the old gateways works. dual nic (1 public, 1 private) with a vm to translate
eternal hearth
You need 4x10gb

which is crazy considering the size of the asian market

eternal hearth
That's not uncommon now, or mammoth esx servers
dim ruin
they obviously slashed back but that was the traditional way during the peak
eternal hearth
Yeah, main thing is just the bandwidth. So much uses it now, you use these huge 10gb nics
dim ruin
can you imagine having the type of traffic to totally saturate that thing. fuck me
eternal hearth
I can
My last shop's prod db generated a PB of logs a month
It's nuts
So takes 8 hours to restore those to qa and such, and that's just a 30tb database
Some of these are actually big
I wonder how big the backend for that romance game is
dim ruin
depends on the amount of data redundancy though. I wouldn't expect any online game to generate for example 30 tb of persisted data per month if its properly normalized.
thats a shitload of data
eternal hearth
I'm trying to see if that game has ever talked about it
There's billing, accounts, historical, current, etc

The conversation as I understand it was actually talking about scaling and cloud users and such for MMOs
personally, I was trying to find any kind of data to figure out the scale numbers for two currently popular MMOs, but they are all so secretive that it's impossible to get a good guess.
Just saying - if I had 5 million users, I'd publish that all the freaking time.
It's like when console companies don't publish their sales figures, which (as a dev) is the sort of information I'd really like to know, right?
eternal hearth
Step away for dinner and people still talking about this? Right on.
I believe your points about lore agree with my point that mobile or not, the costs are probably similar. It's the content creation and hosting that are expensive, probably more so than the models.

just in case anyone is wondering i figured the 32bit packaging issue, some people say switch it to shipping from development, but that didn't work for me, just go into project settings> and search up 32 bit> and tick "target 32bit"
32bites for you yum tasty
trust me a lot of people still use it
i want those people to play it too, i also have a cousin that wants to play it and i think the laptop is 32bit
broken sigil
32bit is not worth supporting anymore, one of the main reasons being memory limitation (limited to 4gb on 32bit)
wouldn't be surprised if it gets dropped from the engine eventually

that would be removing support for 10s of millions of people, and that would suck

@cold jay world of warcraft pirate server Nostalrius would hit 7000 players, concurrent, in 1 machine
one very beefy server
but one
in theory, if you know what you are doing, you can reach 10 to 15k players on a single machine for a MMO that has the kind of gameplay wow has (tab targetting, server checks near nothing)
ive seen research stuff hit 20k players (simulation) on a single server
zinc matrix
would making a mmo require servers? like those rooms with tons of technology of stuff?
foggy path
you probably wouldn't rent actual rack space in a datacenter yourself
just run them on some cloud based provider or a VPS or whatever

ohh makes sense

having your own data center space would probaby only start making sense if you're running really large scale operations
zinc matrix
ok
tbh i don't think many of my games will be online and if they are they would be like 10 people max, cause my internet is trash so i don't think i could figure it out

pretty sure you could handle 10 people on a cheap cloud hosted server easily :)

oh that's a strange limitation
credit cards usually just handle currency conversions automatically ๐ค

yeah if our currency wasn't closed it would collapse that's why we don't have paypal cause i think paypal requires that we aren't a closed currency country, but if that happens our currency will get even worse than it already is

@sage tendon
do you need seperate computers for each server?
if so, fuck that

Depends what you define as server
1 server could host multiple stuff
Like multiple game servers
zinc matrix
will an old second hand laptop be able to even handle multiple game servers?
i really doubt that
sage tendon
Sure but it depends what those game servers need
An MMO server with 7k concurrent users is lik out of the question, the db queries alone would give players constant lag
zinc matrix
also one more question, my internet is pretty weak, so will this hosting and stuff affect my internet? cause if it does than i don't think i can really do it cause my internet is already pretty trash and i don't want it to be any trashier

the amount of connections and how much data they transfer would affect it

I must have you confused with a dude from Chicago
plucky pagoda
I was doing some stuff that was based on some talks that were focused on some things they used in Fortnite. But I was only deriving from their work.
dim ruin
AH I just checked. lol yeah I had you confused with someone with a similar handle
plucky pagoda
cool.
dim ruin
but anyway yeah, data assets are good stuff lol
tulip orbit
I've never used Data Assets.... :/ I should probably learn what they're for and how to use them
I use data tables a loot
Hm, MattWs vid says it needs c++ as of 4.22, so no wonder I've never used it
dim ruin
data assets provide a way to create a seamless bridge for assets between c++ and bp. If deriving from PrimaryDataAsset (or implementing GetPrimaryAssetId) they are fully supported by packages and streaming/lazy-loading
the main benefit is asset package and asset manager support
if you get creative and design your hierarchies carefully, creating future-proof content is a breeze.
tulip orbit
Hm. yeah, I'm not sold. it actually seems like more work than the way I've been doing things in data tables
dim ruin
everything has its place. data tables are of course powerful and important
data assets, you can put just about anything inside it.
tulip orbit
same with data tables..
dim ruin
technically could with datatables, if you don't mind handling raw asset reference strings
tulip orbit
and because I can create and modify structs in the editor, I dont have to switch to VS to modify them, recompile, every time I decide to make a change to my enemy/item structs
dim ruin
and its super easy to load/unload these things
same. I've created an architecture where I can actually define "types" with my dataassets lol
I'm abusing the shit out of these things
if you have a unity background at all, UDataAsset can basically be thought of as the UE4 equivelant to Unity's ScriptableObject
mossy nexus
From what I understand, once you have Data Assets set up, adding more variants is easy.
dim ruin
exactly
tulip orbit
using enemies as an example again, with the data table I just click new row, BOOM, variant.
mossy nexus
Point to folders and the game can use it with little work from the dev.
I would imagine creating modding support would be easier with Data Assets too
dim ruin
like I said, each thing has its place. A datatable is just that. A dataasset is an object
foggy path
I've used structs to define types similar to what you're describing
dim ruin
it depends on what you're trying to do
tulip orbit
My enemies, items, weapons... all are in structs/data tables, and I havent found issues yet
dim ruin
and there's also going to be times where a datatable might be less flexible but more effiecient
for mine, theres a shitton of content and I need to be able to manage these things at runtime to clean up etc
tulip orbit
I need to go exercise before I lose the motivation to do so <_>
foggy path
I might need to move my system to use UObjects tbh because I generate a lot of structures at runtime and some of them cross reference other structs which might not be very efficient
but structs with the break nodes are just much more handy than uobjects lol
dim ruin
structs can get expensive and they're big and lots of them if they are being passed by value instead of as references.
shouldn't be an issue normally though. the stack is fast
If I get ambitious at some point, maybe I'll make a blog post or something showing the way I use data assets. Probably much easier to show then to explain lol
I'm an excellent learner but a terrible teacher

I'm adding a 'social energy' gauge to my dialogue user interface. Different characters will gain or lose social energy in different ways.
The journalist is an introvert for example, so he is going to slowly lose social energy the more he has to talk to stupid people and people give him stupid answers that make him want to beat his head against a wall.
While other characters will slowly gain social energy through small successful conversations and the social energy will unlock the confidence to go to more conversations.
No, he gets to start with a full energy meter and it depletes.
But if he has to talk to stupid people like tRump supporters he will slowly lose all his energy.
But he gets energy back from having time alone or learning new things. So if you interview the right people and learn new things the energy comes back.
I would say it is probably easier being a confident introvert than being a non-confident extrovert.
Hard mode would be needing social validation from others while at the same time being nervous about talking to people.

dim ruin
obviously lol especially when you figure in engine royalties and corporate/personal taxation
and then if you have a publisher lol. platforms need to go fuck themselves with the magic 30%
for me for example. Top personal tax brackets are 33% for federal, 13.16% for provincial. Corporate is about 38% combined if you incorporate
just as a wild example. $60M revenue becomes just over $6M after everything. Thats fucking insane lol

its funny how backwards taxation is though. I mean I get it, encourage business but wtf. take almost half the poor man's shit and barely touch the rich. Sad state of affairs

carmine frigate
blueprint nativize works allright i guess. dpeneds on what u doin
carmine frigate
are ur blueprints the botleneck?
zinc matrix
i honestly don't know
i do notice when i hit a trigger box it does delay my game by like 1 second
carmine frigate
that sounds like a horrible triggerbox
carmine frigate
nativize might make it 0.4 but thats still bad ๐
zinc matrix
why is it bad, like it's not that complicated i thought things that aren't too complex the blueprints should be able to handle it
this is it
zinc matrix
yeah but only when i get in contact with another trigger box which is a character
ok i see a lot of hate surrounding this "open level" thing how else am i supposed to go to the next level?
zinc matrix
OK BUT WHAT PROBLEM IS IT
carmine frigate
first off u want an == or equal from the other object so lets say a particle wont activate it
zinc matrix
ok
carmine frigate
equal it to get player pawn
carmine frigate
use player pawn to cast to 3rd person char
broken sigil
If you are hard loading a level it's to be expected to have a delay, you could look into level streaming
zinc matrix
ok
carmine frigate
also if ur char has a hat on and thats a seperate object it will null pointer
zinc matrix
ok he doesn't but that's good to know
carmine frigate
so if the has object bool happens to be an object attached to ur hand or something it wil null\
and will trigger 2 times
zinc matrix
wait what equal? i just tried == and it's showing me so many options
carmine frigate
drag from the blue dot and ==
zinc matrix
ok
carmine frigate
show context sensitive only
carmine frigate
ok, the loading of the level wil stil take the same amount of time, if that is 0.5 sec nativize wil perhaps make it 0.4999
broken sigil
He is already using a cast and it will fail and just exit if the other object is anything else but the third person character so that's fine, what he should do is use get player pawn node and compare it to the other object to make sure it is player controlled, the pawn should also have a function named something like IsPlayerControlled which can be used, or at least there is in C++ not sure about BP
carmine frigate
but at least its a fine triggerbox now
mayB, i dont like to fail my casts like that ๐
zinc matrix
i did it all, still the same delay lol
carmine frigate
yea loading a level takes some time, nativize wont fix that
zinc matrix
when i touch any triggerbox it does the same thing so idk if it's just a loading thing
i also need to collect an object and that doesn't require loading new levels
carmine frigate
if u hit the triggerbox and it doesnt load a lvl it shoundt take 0.5 sec
zinc matrix
ok it isn't 0.5 seconds with the object one i'd say maybe 0.25
carmine frigate
sounds high but i dont know what it is doin
zinc matrix
that sucks

going back to an older topic - Blueprint nativisation is unreliable and I don't recommend using it
I've seen it drop entire components, silently, during packaging causing all manner of bugs that only manifest in the packaged game
carmine frigate
only nativize things where it helps
prolly leave umg alone
sometimes u get bugs that only show in packaged, dont need nativize for that ๐

we are so pro tattoo in the pacific north west, there are probably schools offering him jobs in the US since that story, if he's been certified to be a teacher it's extremely doubtful that he scared anyone intentionally. I bet that dude could tell you the meaning behind each and every tattoo he has

I threatened to throw a child out the window yesterday. Then I put a count up on the board for how many arms and legs I am going to chop off of another kid. Every time he was bad he lost another arm or leg. He ended up losing 7...

Now THATS how you run a class, if I had that level of engagement in school I'd be one of the great minds of our time

Sounds like he was a mutant from The Forest game

one of the biggest turning points for me in my life is when a teacher told me I'm full of shit, really stuck with me and made me contemplate a lot on life, if I was given that push by threat of losing body parts or being thrown out a window who knows where i'd be right now haha

I don't want to look up what your talking about, I have to get back to this project...
okay I give up and I want to know, I don't like what google brings me, are you talking about the people who wear corsets till they reshape their body
that unfortunately is the result of society as a whole projecting a false image of what it should be, starting with children's toys, and ending with social and regular media
with the most recent example being netflix's latest series, cuties
celebrity and regular citizens alike have been blowing up the FBI to investigate it

I honestly miss the days when there was at least a little bit of censorship of what was allowed in the media...
I'm not for a lot of censorship, but it seems like almost every show anymore has to throw in a porno scene for little reason.... I miss the days when that stuff was regulated to its own category away from the rest of media.
They figured out that whoever used to ban this stuff is asleep on the job.
They knew it sold in the 90s, but it was not allowed.
Before certain hours it was much more strict, but even outside the hours it had to be on specific channels that could be blocked from TVs that were say in a kids room or whatever.
