https://www.thegames.dev/snaps/CHh8gCTj6S.mp4 chaos vehicles work well at low FPS 😄
lucid walrus
chaos isn't fps independent??
dense storm
it does substepping iirc @finite lark
solar nebula
It is FPS independent, if it wasn't the vehicle would move slower
The instability like that is natural for lowering the timestep, but it could have some built-in features to stabilize such things
finite lark
ye, it behaves the same way it does in engine https://gyazo.com/f366884342a19b38f13c3980a489834a
solar nebula
As timestep drops, any spring systems will grow more and more unstable, you need to blend in some sort of convergence filter (that smoothes out springs) or do something else (substepping)
lucid walrus
I really hope that's super early alpha, or are we going to get left with broken vehicle physics from Epic for another 5 years?
dense storm
strange how they released that in fortnite like it
i mean 30fps and vehicles is not a good thing
solar nebula
It's not strange, you need to have someone who pays attention to details like these to avoid it
The developer tuned springs to higher FPS and put in too high of damping/spring constants
finite lark
this is with substepping on
lucid walrus
Epic really can't program vehicle physics worth a damn, apparently... I mean, apparently the UT2k4 vehicles were made by the Rocket League guys? Now that they bought them, can't they have them put some of that tech back into Unreal?
finite lark
with substepping off, the vehicles just slow down
but yeah, the same experiment with physx vehicles
solar nebula
PhysX Is an actually production ready engine instead of a pretend production ready
finite lark
got this stuff reported! hopefully they do something about it
lucid walrus
the Physx vehicles have always been utterly broken in Unreal 😦
Epic hasn't done shit about the physx vehicles for all these years
solar nebula
I never used UE4 vehicles so I don't know. In our game, the vehicles run on custom code 😄
lucid walrus
everyone writes custom code for vehicles, because Epic's examples are utterly, utterly broken
finite lark
I never used UE4 vehicles so I don't know. In our game, the vehicles run on cust...
my custom code breaks as well using chaos substepping
it's indeed a substepping issue
probably they haven't paid much attention into that just yet
finite lark

very good question

https://www.thegames.dev/snaps/CHh8gCTj6S.mp4 chaos vehicles work well at low FP...
I got errors like that video with Nvidia included solution when substep is disabled
no clue if Squad in game have the same issues
dense storm
i was doing some research into third person shooting, and vorixo said about chaos vehicles so i had to try it
median wraith
its 2021
still dont know why Epic never exposed the vehicles settings to BP to be set at runtime
like you can only set all in the default panel and you can't do anything else
dense storm
just been trying to work out how they do the traces for this
like it comes from the pawn somewhere? like its chest?
humble remnant
Maybe the gun barrel itself?
dense storm
at X distance you can see i can hit the back object and the trace goes right through the first object
no cause even when im in relaxed pose
(gun not pointing forward) that red cross still shows up
which means it has to come from the pawn
solar nebula
In my game I made a terrible decision to make the gun be responsible for bullet, so the trace goes in kind of a random direction depending on where the gun is randomly pointing in the animation
And the only actual way to get it firing right is to use ironsights, but even then there's residual parallax and possible slight offset of the barrel that you can compensate for by adjusting the knobs
broken sigil
😏
humble remnant
I use camera forward vector to determine where the controller is aiming, usually at a set distance since it's a MOBA
Out of knowing where it's aimed, trace from starting socket/location to where camera is looking
It's a bit of a heavy math that I had asked in here some time ago
Particularly due to spring arms and custom distances
finite lark
@broken sigil bwoahahahah
I love you man
hahahahah
where's blue when we need him!!
humble remnant
Solution if you need it
Though this is for set distances because in a MOBA you have a range on them
P = pawn, C = camera, A = point where you want it to aim, PH is perpendicular to AC and is only used as a value
finite lark
that bit is sorted
it's actually a game design thing
well the distance tolerance is already sorted and cleared out to him
only thing missing is finding out the "weapon trace" origin
broken sigil
I love you man
hahaha
Working on projects for the last 2 years so I've been away from the marketplace stuff 😛
finite lark
yes, it's indeed more a game design thing
oooh working in the shadows you are
unleashing all your force you should
are you releasing soon?
broken sigil
Nah I got hired to work on a project, we probably won't release for quite some time :P
If I ever get time to do marketplace stuff in the future I would like to release vehicle physics and AI V2.0
median wraith
vehicle physics update or ?
there are guys in the marketplace releasing as individual products every update they make as I have seen lol
broken sigil
If I ever get to it would be a separate plugin but would like to give existing users a discount but not quite sure if that's possible to do on the MP, gumroad or something 🤷♀️
That is if I ever get around developing a new one 😐
btw with ue4 substepping the main problem is that it is variable so at low fps the delta time can still get pretty high but even in that case the vehicle should still behave somewhat properly if delta time is used correctly in the calculation
median wraith
do you recommend to use it with your plugin ? the substep
broken sigil
yeah, definitely
Can get unstable without it but with it should be stable even at like 10 fps
there is that static friction thing that I never got around re doing that can get unstable but I think I updated the default values for it so it should work fine

I tried chaos a few months ago, saw it was broken in so many ways and probably won't touch it till it's fully fixed and production ready for real this time
I want to use it since it aims to be fully deterministic which is perfect for networking

white chasm
Anyone has some good resources on creative writing etc for video games?
lol nuh, not engine or implementation related, story structure, beats etc
how to build on your narrative themes and ideas etc etc
fathom wadi
I just use my imagination, but I order things like any project management. Often I can start with an intro idea and keep it rolling until story completion. But in terms of game development and and narrative design, you have to focus on what gameplay is affecting everything. A lot of it has to feed the game. Otherwise you end up with two products. A story and a game and they may play awful in combination. I would suggest creating a custom project for a site like Dundoc or Hack n Plan and start ordering the story arcs in a plain, minimal list. Then extrapolate on each.
white chasm
Interesting, thanks!
Well for now it's not really relevant, still working on my first project, which is just a short experience type of thing, but want to get more into it eventually

if i dilute it with a ton of C++ loops, it'll be better right? because the C++ loops have memory.

tender lily
well i only learnt last week that in the US they used to have this demeaning fitness test where everyone had to do these pull ups on a bar and stuff in front of others, which would humiliate those that couldnt do it
presidential fitness test or something
they only got rid of it in the past 10 years or so
foggy path

even though only like 3% of school age kids could do it
foggy path
I think we still have what they call "Cooper's Test"
tender lily
it was like the sort of thing you saw oliver queen doing in arrow lol
foggy path
which is basically how far can you run in like... 10 minutes or something?
most people didn't take it very seriously and would just walk lol
tender lily
hmm, how far can I run in ten minutes now? probably a hundred feet, all in the first 30 seconds before i pass out
foggy path
Yeah I mean the idea wasn't really to go all out but just try to go as far as you can in the allotted time
tender lily
im crap at running, i can walk for dozens of miles without issue though
theyre doing this thing in schools atm for younger kids, where they have to walk or run a mile each day
i think thats a good thing because a lot of younger kids are physically unfit
and for a 10 year old kid, thats REALLY bad
they should be active, running around and playing tig and stuff
got the rest of their lives to veg on a couch playing games lol
i got 3 kids, they all love doing that walk or run a mile thing

how did you manage that lol

and during release the had special offer, and russian pricing made it $20
white chasm
I did it on steam
tender lily
then once youve purchased disconnect the vpn
no way i was going to pay full price for that
foggy path
rip
tender lily
but i'll play it after the major update they promised
foggy path
I have like 100 hours in it
white chasm
played it 3 times
tender lily
yeah, problem is i cant play a game with glitches, the gamedev in me tries to find the glitches. i'd glitch myself to the end mission within half an hour and be bored of it
foggy path
lol
tender lily
so i'll be patient, i got norman reedus walking simulator to play first, and some missions on the outer worlds to finish
foggy path
Tbh I didn't have that many glitches in it besides graphical ones
foggy path
Once I teleported through the ground to a totally different location but that was probably the most "serious" one lol
tender lily
i saw one earlier someone clipped thru a building and walked along the bottom of the environment
median wraith
I played the free to play version of Death Strading at Steam
had even toilet paper buy mission
white chasm
I think CP is very tied to FPS, so if you don't have good FPS the physics system fuck up
foggy path
I heard the arasaka tower ruins didn't have hitboxes if you were in a car so that might have been a clip possibility
tender lily
another one, someone was talking about a brain chip, but had a gun lodged in their head, pulled the gun out and handed it to the player, seen that one a lot
white chasm
haha yeah that happened to me on one of my play
tender lily
another one, someone was driving and all of a sudden their character was propelled out the car naked, their clothes staying in the car and the car coming to a complete stop, physics launching them across the map in their birthday suit
foggy path
Yeah there's a few animation bugs and such but it's just stuff that happens at random, I don't think you can really cause it to trigger
lol
the t-pose naked on top of car happens on occasion but it never caused any issues besides it looking weird
fallow finch
Is it possible to make crossplay game through PC and Mobile ?

fallow finch
Using Playfab or any crossplay servers services
foggy path
tbh the most serious crimes I caused was because I drove carelessly over pedestrians
tender lily
someone else committed a crime in an elevator, turned around and 20 cops in the elevator with him
foggy path
I wasn't really interested in trying to just cause chaos like in GTA or something lol
white chasm
those are fun bugs
foggy path
@fallow finch sure, nothing stops you from doing that
white chasm
I played spec ops after CP and I swear it had more bugs
tender lily
I wasn't really interested in trying to just cause chaos like in GTA or somethin...
well in the last two GTA you cant really. anything more than 3 star wanted level and youre screwed
its like they DONT want you to cause chaos
foggy path
lol
white chasm
I think they shouldn't even have a cop system honestly
foggy path
well you were pretty screwed in all of them with big wanted levels
tender lily
the main problems are if you travel at speed on a highway, NOOSE roadblocks spawn in front of you without enough time to react and turn away from them
white chasm
it's not GTA
they should maybe send some hitmans after you if you get a bounty, that can come at random times
foggy path
rumor mill says the cop pathfinding AI worked fine until someone screwed it up and they didn't have time to fix it
tender lily
sure, a crime system, but in a city where everything is cyber, why have physical police? the punishments could be remotely triggered
tender lily
"attention murderer. You have committed a crime against the city. Your muscles have been disabled, please stay where you are and await collection by police drone"
foggy path
but yeah it does feel like there's tons of systems in cyberpunk which were partially implemented but they couldn't finish or flesh them out on time
tender lily
i mean thats the obvious approach with the tech they have in that game right?
white chasm
nuh I think everyone is using ripperdocs because it's unmonitored
tender lily
it overburdens you, slows you down and youre chased by drones that have the intent of taking you alive to the cop shop
hmm, true
white chasm
lore wise at least
tender lily
even then.... it would make sense that no human cops, just drones like the ones that come first
i mean why risk humans to catch a violent criminal
they could fly in at speed from some central dispatch
rather than spawning on top of you
white chasm
it's not really scifi
white chasm
idk, all I cared about is the progression system and the builds you can make
fun wise it's one of the best I played
foggy path
my biggest complaint is that almost all the characters are pretty fucking miserable :D
tender lily
yeah thats why i considered it worth my $20 even with breakage, because i like open world exploration and character progression
lol demolition man love it
foggy path
they kill off the only character with a positive attitude at the start
tender lily
"john spartan, you have been fined one credit for violation of the verbal morality act"
😂
well if you lived in that place wouldnt you be miserable with a negative outlook on life
unless happy mind uploads are standard for all
foggy path
sure but it doesn't mean the entire game has to be like that
tender lily
yeah, true, if you want hidden humour, fallout is where its at
foggy path
like, it would have been fun if they had a few more of those flaming crotch man quests and stuff
white chasm
what about ozob
foggy path
lol yeah that one was pretty weird
tender lily
you dont need funny quests with all the funny glitches
i mean whats funnier than a shadow falling out of the sky, and bleeding 😄
foggy path
lol
white chasm
shadow falling out of the sky?
tender lily
yeah
theres a bit where a guy is supposed to fall from a building and splat on the sidewalk
foggy path
I played Yakuza 0 a while back which is sort of similar in the sense that you run around doing missions
tender lily
sometimes the character doesnt spawn but his shadow still projects
foggy path
that game has a super serious main storyline
foggy path
but most of the side quests are completely off the wall lol
white chasm
lol didn't see that one
foggy path
it's a nice balance
white chasm
there's an LTT playthrough?
tender lily
yup
white chasm
since when are they doing it
tender lily
he plays it at 8K because he likes to heat his home with RTX 3080
they had an episode sponsored by CDPR i think
white chasm
ah it's just one of their videos
tender lily
might have been bitwit with the bleeding shadow
white chasm
probably saw that already

also I think they fixed some of the bugs by just removing your dick
there was a bug where the dick would randomly poke through your clothes

"We decided to just start over so we thought it would be appropriate if the numbers did as well"

Unreal doesn’t need a gritty reboot.

going out of version numbers seem like a very modern thing to do tbh

I don’t see how doing away with version numbers is modern.

Not only simple project. VS works pretty fine with big ones as well. But when it comes to UE, you simply can't correctly match UE project model on vs/sln/vcxproj files, so it's all lights and mirrors and cutting corners...

I'd use any addons I can to get a faster workflow but with VAX not working I just carried on regardless. I would say it helped but it definitely slowed me down a little trying to figure stuff out

I can't go back to VS after using Rider for UE but for other things that aren't C++ I use VS Code which has plenty of free addons that help
timid tundra
@median wraith Only cases I had to use multiline comments for a single line is because I add comment headers to section of say properties and components on a actor.
Header comment is made with multiline and if I used single line comments on the property the header would show up in Unreal when hovering over the property.
north dragon
I'd say the weakest side of Rider right now is it's support for UE4 natvis files, so you might want to keep VS around for it's debugger and we don't have any support of consoles/mobile eg you won't be able to deploy/debug your game on the device from Rider (though we plan to add it eventually)
lone grail
I do still have VS since Rider is still in beta, though it'll be at least a year until I can start thinking about porting to consoles so that's okay

-
Actors can register/unregister with the system in order to receive injected components from other systems such as a game feature plugin
-
Systems can add actor->component mappings (if an actor of type X registers with the subsystem, add a component of type Y to it)
-
This also handles existing actors that had already spawned and registered, if a system is brought online after some actors are created"

"Game Feature Plugin Subsystem … -
Each game feature plugin can be independently enabled or disabled, with clearly defined lifecycles for when assets are loaded and registered
