But if I'm aiming for most realistic fps game, I gotta do something like that

foggy path
#

so I don't know if you can complain about it lol

analog bone
#

But what would be a cool objective πŸ€”

foggy path
#

I mean there's a lot of variations you can do on things... a lot of modes are based on the basic idea of retrieval or delivery

#

bomb defusal modes are effectively a spin on delivery, overwatch's maps where you have to move the thingy between objectives are also delivery

#

but they play quite differently

#

capture the flag is retrieval, hostage rescue is retrieval

#

I think it kind of depends on what sort of gameplay do you want to encourage in your game

cursive crypt
#

You may also check on the #design-chat maybe other ppl will chim in.

#

I mean you all good zomg, just an idea, lol

foggy path
#

yeah it's probably a better question for there :)

Oh yeah, sorry πŸ˜„

Part of being a journalist in 2020 is begging for money...

fathom wadi
#

@foggy path "Free from commercial or political bias, we can report fearlessly on events as they happen, bringing you a clear, international perspective.". Also, in bold text, "Four more years of Donald Trump would have serious consequences for the world.".

#

It's like they are waving with one hand and slapping you with the other

foggy path
#

I dunno, it's perhaps a bit of a hot take

#

but the statement is not wrong :P

fathom wadi
#

It's in plain text right there. Not a take so much as an observation of a dichotomy.

foggy path
#

they could easily have it say Biden too, I'm sure his selection would have serious consequences too... just different kind

fathom wadi
#

Why start the begging process with a political statement and then say they have no political bias. Which is also funny because it's a liberally orientated newspaper. As opposed to it's counter-part The Daily Mail which is a right wing newspaper. The tabloids in this country are a joke.

foggy path
#

It's marketing. Gotta play to your audience

north torrent
#

There is nothing bias about saying that Donald tRump is bad.

If you can't clearly see that the truth is the truth, then you just aren't a journalist at all.

fathom wadi
#

Sure. they are a public ltd company and have investments, so they have to make money.

#

@north torrent oh shush. It was an attack against Donald Trump.

north torrent
#

Being fair and balanced does not mean making two sides that are clearly not equal look like they are equal.

foggy path
#

Frankly I don't know how it's an attack on Trump when it's based on facts lol

north torrent
#

There is nothing bias about attacking Donald tRump. He is clearly dangerous.

Well the attack isn't the issue. Saying they dont have political bias is.

Marc's point is about the marketing

Marketing always has an agenda

But listen now for 5$ before this post is deleted

foggy path
#

It's good marketing, it's clearly working when it's bothering people :D

#

The best marketing clearly communicates to your target audience and that can make it sound like nonsense to those who aren't in it

north torrent
#

I am just saying they are not bias.

I am not defending the marketing.

azure chasm
#

Breathing air has serious consquences though

#

Its just marketing bs

broken sigil
#

Any marketing, news articles, etc. I take with a big bucket of salt

north torrent
#

But some people in this world, like to think that both sides must always be treated equal even when there is clearly a huge gap in between them.

Would it be 'bias' news reporting if I told you that a Playstation 2 and a PC with an RTX 3080 are equal?

broken sigil
#

it's in their interest to make controversial headlines and articles to generate as much clicks as possible

azure chasm
#

Its bias you used nvidia and not amd

north torrent
#

I am an unbias new reporter so I must tell you that eating chalk and this 5 star restaurant I just visited are totally equal and the decision of which to spend your money on is totally up to you.

That is just irresponsible.

#

Once tRump is gone I don't think I will care much for politics.

I've never hated either party before. It has just been this post-tea party crazy movement that needs to be stopped for the sake of me having a country to return to...

Other than that, I just let the establishment fight it out amongst themselves.

People being free to think is precisely why shit's hitting the fan alex

People are too stupid to think lol

But they arent free to think

You are either for the United States or you are for tRump. There is no in between.

azure chasm
#

Theyve been manipulated

By marketing

foggy path
#

Yeah, they've been free to think for themselves

#

so they've thought about the marketing

#

and come into the incorrect conclusions

I noticed there were like

But ive never effing heard of the other 5

On the actual πŸ—³

north torrent
#

It is really hard to tell lately though, because one political party is clearly wrong while the other is rather neutral.

So how would you really know the difference between a news organization telling the truth and a news organization leaning left? They would look exactly the same right now.

#

Maybe next year it will be easier to tell, see who goes after Joe Biden when he makes his first big mistake.

#

But right now it is really hard to judge.

There is an exercise in martial arts for the neck where you rotate 5 times to the left, 5 times to the right then repeat. It loosens up the tight muscles.

sage tendon

my wife usually does the dishes here

crystal badger
#

why is the single strength going down every year?

#

ask here why she as to Aline them the way she does

sage tendon
#

maybe because the satalite doesnt have a perfect orbit from a yearly perspective

#

or in flat earther terms, the magical powers shift in frequency once a year

crystal badger
#

no it because the the dome they charged with the nuke tests is weakening. Take a look at the last time they did any of those and you will see that our tech boomed during that period of charging.

sage tendon
#

is that nuke test every year?

#

i thought they tested nukes all around the year,like every day

crystal badger
#

nope they stopped a long time ago

#

they were changing the ionosphere with them

#

see these signals are just bouncing

#

if it is not charged enough you get a weaker signal

#

gps is a lie

@crystal badger Are GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou also a lie? The tech boomed because the US government got very scared by Sputnik and gave almost unlimited funding to smart people like Joseph Licklider and Bob Taylor.

#

in just a few short months amd has announced 2 product lineups that perform better than there competetors in most areas

#

only a matter of time before they perfect all areas

broken sigil
#

in CPU space yes but GPU not so much, they first need to come up with something as capable as DLSS and we need to see raytracing performance, there is probably a reason they didn't brag about it on the presentation

fresh heath
#

I wonder what AMD is going to do with Xilinx, hopefully they will publish the docs for their bitstreams

rigid quartz
#

in CPU space yes but GPU not so much, they first need to come up with something as capable as DLSS and we need to see raytracing performance, there is probably a reason they didn't brag about it on the presentation
@broken sigil yeah they released a slide on that

#

they do ray tracing better than RTX

#

πŸ™‚

broken sigil
#

from the leaks seems to be ~50% slower in raytracing

#

we need to see benchmarks tho

#

they didn't show any raytracing numbers so that's telling me the leaks were correct

rigid quartz
#

watch the entire thing

#

should give ya a idea

broken sigil
#

I watched it already

rigid quartz
#

hardware raytracing

#

over software

#

works faster

broken sigil
#

RTX also has hardware raytracing so that means nothing

rigid quartz
#

well ya might have missed some things

#

just saying you might wanna rewatch it

broken sigil
#

oh jesus christ
Both Nvidia and AMD now have hardware raytracing, software raytracing has been there for decades (not DXR but in general)
The fact is that AMD didn't show any RT numbers, they would brag about it if it was quicker than RTX

foggy path
#

Might be partially because I'm not sure how well DXR is supported over native RTX support in games

rigid quartz
#

yeah but they still get better overall performance

#

amd

#

ray tracing is lax based on some benchmarks

broken sigil
#

well I care more about RT and AI upscaling than 5% difference in rasterization

rigid quartz
#

yeah ai will be important with what im wanting to do soon

#

but ray tracing aint a big deal for me

broken sigil
#

@foggy path I don't think games directly support "RTX" since it is basically renamed DXR which is a standard DirectX 12 feature

foggy path
#

Ah

rigid quartz
#

which my gpu has Dx12

fresh heath
#

There is also the Vulkan raytracing extension

rigid quartz
#

all be it i usually run games with dx11 cause my gpu aint that good with dx12 games

fresh heath
rigid quartz
#

if its a option

broken sigil
#

as far as I know DXR will run on any GPU which has hardware RT or software RT fallback

#

that's why GTX 10xx can do raytracing without RT cores

#

it is slow as all hell but it works

I'd like Blueprints more if there was, like, a node that lets you write interpreted code directly into it (right in the Blueprint editor, too)

#

kind of like that format text node

#

except for code rather than string formatting

#

I'm aware that you can basically create ur own node rn just by using C++ and UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable), but

#

then u have to spend time compiling, which is why I'm emphasizing interpreted (e.g., Python). Prototyping purposes only.

@green nacelle If you have a website or other product related to Unreal, you can advertise it in the #released channel. Otherwise we ask that you don't post ads in other channels.

ok @bronze axle I'm sorry about that did not know about the released channel, that's why did not post the link here; just posted about the server and told to DM; moved it to #released can remove it too, even if that too is an issue

Hello I got some questions about a Epic Games grant

I want to start a brand new original game platformer game. Say I have something substantial to show off. How easy is the grant process and if I do get a grant what does epic games want in return

#

I know about the 5% payment to epic games with or without a grant

tidal ivy
#

Epic asks for nothing in return

#

however how the grants are awarded is a total mystery, so the best you can do is just apply with the best you have and hope

subtle hatch
#

Do 90% of grant requests get ignored

probably way more than 90%

I wouldn't underestimate how many requests they receive, it's likely hundreds every week

@north torrent I'm using NH-U12P with D15 fan on my 3900x (same TDP). It can def keep up if I ramp the fan at max but would prefer bigger cooler

#

right now I have bigger issue with case fans on max load as they struggle to keep up. For example case sidepanel open drops the max load temps from 80 c to low 70's

#

in normal usage the temps go nowhere near that regardless of the case cooling setup

#

I mainly used that cooler as I've had it for decade+ already and noctua keeps postponing their new D15 release

#

if I were buying new cooler specifically for ryzen 9, I'd def get beefier setup

north torrent
#

Maybe you should adjust the airflow of your case a bit.

stiff crystal
#

it's pretty optimal already, it's just the case fans that suck

north torrent
#

Go full Noctua on those then.

stiff crystal
#

I'll probably try to see if they put those industrial fans on black friday sale

north torrent
#

For my next build I am going to focus on positive air pressure. Just pump in as much air as possible until the thing explodes like a balloon.

stiff crystal
#

I don't normally even load this system 100% for longer time periods so this hasn't really been any issue (and even that 80c is WELL below what people get on this cpu with the cooler they bundled the cpu with)

north torrent
#

I originally wanted to get a Ryzen 5700x, but now that isn't a thing anymore...

stiff crystal
#

high temps do degrade the perf on these though

#

it starts to downclock the higher the temps get

north torrent
#

So I don't want to go down to the Ryzen 5600x... But at the same time if I am going to pay more money anyways why stop at Ryzen 5800x when the 5900x is barely more expensive...

stiff crystal
#

I know 3800x didn't make much sense when I got my 3900x, basically the best bang for the buck was 3700x back then and if you wanted to go above that, you got 3900x or better

#

so did they drop 5700x now?

north torrent
#

I just don't understand what the pricepoint of the 5800x...

#

If I am going to spend that kind of money might at well go for the extra cores. Even though there is no way I am going to get full power out of it with this cpu cooler.

#

The 5700x just never got announced and I haven't heard anyone say anything about it.

stiff crystal
#

if you use unreal, you want all the cores you can afford :p

north torrent
#

Well, I could afford a 5950x, but I was thinking that might just be dumb with this cpu cooler and the thermal limitations of this case.

stiff crystal
#

why are you stuck with that cooler?

#

mini-itx etc?

north torrent
#

I can get air in and out of this case quickly be controlling the flow of air out the back, but I am not a miracle worker, there are limitations.

#

The NH-L12s is literally the biggest that will fit in the space.

stiff crystal
#

more cores doesn't necessarily mean it will bring more heat

#

many reported 3950x running even 10c cooler than 3900x and both were same TDP

north torrent
#

That's why I am not sticking with a 5600.

stiff crystal
#

I now mean like proper reviews, not some random user reports

north torrent
#

I am going to be looking at benchmarks once they are released later this week.

stiff crystal
#

we'll get 5900 series reviews soon yeah

north torrent
#

I'm going to go with whatever gets the most power for the heat.

foggy path
#

I've never really looked at heat and it's never been a problem

#

...actually the only time heat was a problem was when I was overclocking my i7 920 to over 4 ghz lol

#

(default clock on the 920 is 2.6ghz)

#

it was kinda funny because it ran perfectly stable at 4, but as soon as you pushed it over it at all, meltdown

stiff crystal
#

1366 was really terrible platform

#

I also had 920

#

that cpu failed to impress me + everything was odd and costly on that platform

#

mobos cost fortune and had like half of the features that more mainstream mobos had at fraction of the price point

#

I replaced it with newer gen i5 and was super happy for a while (until UE4 came along really)

north torrent
#

My i7 920 is still running fine all these years later.

only thing I still have left of that rig is the memory

but since it was 3x2gb kit, I get to use only 2x2gb on this so it's just 4gigs πŸ˜„

#

I do have some 8gig kit spare here too but wanted to put the worst possible on that test rig

#

I have 3x4gb in mine.

#

It now has a GTX 750ti in it.

#

@slow gyro I've been evaluating current state of the art devices (quality/price)

#

and I purchased it already due to the recommendation of some pals. So If you want to contribute something good I'll get out of purchasing this headset I'll be happy to hear

#

I think they already addressed the bad points to me with the facebook bs and whatnot

slow gyro
#

I haven't used it that much yet. It's currently used for some work related things, so I have no access.
I played some Vader Immortal on it and I couldn't find any problems.

In-side Out Tracking is really nice. The guardian system works perfectly. I prefer oculus controllers over vive anyway.
Not sure I can give you any negative points. Performance is probably a point, but for my bad eyes it looked like it was on par with what the original Vive had to offer.

#

That said, I also haven't compared any specs. We got it to work with it. Me playing with it is just a plus

#

I love that I don't have to fight with cables and boxes to track me and I can do it everywhere, away from my PC.

#

@finite lark

#

How's the controller tracking on the Q2 compared to Vive and such? I've heard it's a little worse in terms of having a bit of latency and some other minor things

slow gyro
#

I didn't notice much latency, but I'm also not the person who would instantly notice. The only thing I noticed is that it feels a bit shaky.
So if you hold the lightsaber still, it vibrates a bit in game, but nothing I would consider a problem

foggy path
#

Right

slow gyro
#

And "a bit shaky" is really only a small bit

#

I would use the Oculus 2 over the original Vive any day

#

Can't comment on the new Vive though

foggy path
#

Yeah apparently it doesn't track behind your back but that doesn't seem like a big deal either :)

slow gyro
#

The cameras are on the front and side of the headset

#

It can't track your back, visually, but I put my right arm around my lower back, so it sticks out on the left and I could see the ingame hand where mine was in the corner of my eye

#

That was good enough for me

#

idk what happens with games that require you to grab something from your back or shoulder

foggy path
#

I'd imagine it can probably extrapolate enough for that to work

#

or they can adjust it so you don't have to reach quite that far beind yourself

slow gyro
#

Yeah. And it has hand tracking

#

Which I found quite funny to toy around with

#

Idk if older Oculus had that

finite lark
#

thank you for the breakdown!

slow gyro
#

But yeah, for me personally it's what I would like to buy when I play VR

#

Standalone System. Price of a Console. Quality is good enough for my eyes.

#

I can take the 3 parts to my friends and play with them

#

It's really much more preferred than the vive setup

#

And the guardian system setup was also so much easier with the drawing on the floor

#
  • the mixed reality so you can see the floor properly instead of that weird Vive way of marking points
foggy path
#

Yeah it does sound like it's pretty handy

#

The mess of wires with the OG Rift is a bit of a pain lol

slow gyro
#

Have to re-buy Beat Saber though

#

But well

#

There are also some handy 3D prints you can get to have some more grip on the controllers

#

Stuff like that is cool

#

Ah and one more thing about the Oculus Quest 2: I'm wearing glasses and they added some optional distancer for that, which works fine for me. It juuust goes properly over my glasses

foggy path
#

Need to see if I can try a Quest 2 at some point... Tbh I don't feel like I need to replace my Rift, but if I can get sufficiently improved picture quality that could be a reason to upgrade

slow gyro
#

Audio might also be a topic I just remembered

#

It's spatial so you don't need a headset if you don't want. I played just with the quest 2 audio and it was fine

#

One thing I really liked: I was able to stream the Quest 2 to my TV, so my partner could see what I see

foggy path
#

My Rift audio is fucky so I can't use the headset in the rift lol

#

the volume level is at 1, which is the lowest it goes, and it's still too loud

#

the only fix would have been to send it back to Oculus for them to send me a potentially refurbished unit to replace it... but I don't feel like taking the chance

slow gyro
#

The Oculus Phone app has simple "Stream to Device" button and there I could select my TV. Had to enable 90hz setting in the Quest to get it non-laggy but then it worked

foggy path
#

since apparently these original units can develop all kinds of random issues, and this one's fairly minor

slow gyro
#

ha

#

Well, yeah, I can't buy the QUest in Germany atm

#

It's actually delivered from France

#

Germany isn't happy about the forced Facebook login

#

(me neither, but well)

foggy path
#

yeah I got the prompt about it as well but I said no

#

I guess I have three years to wait and see if they change their minds, since it said it'll be mandatory in 2023 lol

I used that in Windows XP still when it was still possible, since I was very used to that look from Windows 2000 which I used for a very long time even when XP was available

#

Theming options still exist but I don't think the "windows classic" exists anymore sadly

The 95 was the first one I used at school
and the Windows XP Media Edition the first one I had

I think was the 2006 bar

Looks like it's possible, but it doesn't look that good with the limitations of current Windows' theming :\ https://www.howtogeek.com/133405/how-to-get-classic-style-themes-back-on-windows-8/

How-To Geek

Windows 8 and Windows 10 no longer include the Windows Classic theme, which hasn’t been the default theme since Windows 2000. If you don’t like all the new colors and the shiny new Windows 10 look and feel, you can always revert to the super-old-school look.

source code leaks this days are irrelevant with all the resources the public got online and for free

Honestly why would anyone care thinkfish

#

Art assets can be ripped anyway, so no need for those to leak

median wraith

I mean, is a problem for the creator, but creators hidden in the dark and kids learning don't need it anymore

And if you're advanced enough to understand the leaked code, you're probably advanced enough to not bother with the code

The problem is having the data update accurately to all players. There is only so much server magic can do before things start getting delayed. Look at the things CCP had to do with EVEOnline, having thousands of players in the same space, the hoops they had to jump through to get it vaguely playable was insane.

#

While that's an extreme example, it does highlight what does and doesn't happen.

#

Combine that with players machines all being different with the various delays that causes, and the internet being... well the internet...
