Anyone know of any good references for linetrace vehicle? It's crippling my sanity lol

Who needs that

When you have a 970gtx

@lone grail
Compression you can calculate from the trace start and end distance, 1 is fully compressed
SuspensionStiffness and Damping are settings you will have to play with, expose those to the BPs and play with them

        SpringPosition = (Hit.TraceStart - Hit.ImpactPoint).Size();
        float DamperVelocity = (SpringPosition - PreviousPosition) / DeltaTime;
        PreviousPosition = SpringPosition;

        float SpringForce = Compression * (SuspensionStiffness * 100.0f);
        SpringForce -= Damping * DamperVelocity;
#

I have suspension stiffness set to 10 and damping to 0.2

#

might need to set the values higher if your forces are not "mass independent" (Force * ObjMass)

lone grail
#

I was trying to prototype in BP's, but I'll make a class in C++ and see if I can get this to work

broken sigil
#

ah ok

#

you should be able to do this same thing in BPs too, for testing at least

lone grail
#

Okay

broken sigil
#

btw any Rider users here, how do I change that ugly default font?

I can't seem to get my head around it, I hate blueprints and I'm not great at C++, and my head is scrambled by this point

@zinc matrix do you have dm disabled?

#

XD

#

@zinc matrix cant even add you as friend it seems

#

Well whatever

lone grail
#

I blocked DM's because someone wanted me to help them with their game when I was trying to get ready for bed and got spammed with harassments

median wraith
#

I blocked back in the days these

#

Because there was an individual sending porn via dm

#

I understand the theory that goes behind it, I am just having a hard time implementing it, I'm good at unity's C# but not very good at UE's code

#

there's also a japanese artist who goes by trump... but don't google it because it's that kinda stuff. Would be funny if he's also getting new followers lol

well I figure folks who wanna google it will google it but better to have a warning for those who might google it but might not wanna see it lol

#

twitch is twitching

cursive crypt
#

I kinda never got interested watching streamers/tv/sports/etc. - there is always something better to do ๐Ÿค”

#

Also someone mentioned that it is really dense field. Like less than .1% streamers have over hundreds watchers.

#

Or maybe even less ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#

I think I use Discord for such things or do something else.

#

But yeah, heard many ppl kinda like the background noise, or watch as some watch sport shows say.

foggy path
#

IronChef_Episodes is the best twitch channel

#

lol

cursive crypt
#

Cooking?

foggy path
#

yeah it just runs iron chef episodes 24-7

#

OnlyMXC runs MXC/Takeshi's Castle 24-7, same guy runs it as IronChef lol

#

Old Timey Computer Show is also fun but I don't think that's the channel's name but if you google it you'll probably find the right one

#

that one runs old computer related TV programs and such

#

oh was it, I thought it was more like ComputerShow or something

#

lol

#

you should also follow FORGOTTEN_VCR then

#

he streams only pretty late finnish hours but it's fun stuff

#

there's also a channel which displays weather in different US states using some software that looks like a 90s weather channel broadcast or something like that lol

heh

hmm interesting, full engine rebuild takes less with Rider compared to VS

Some scary stuff happening by big tech. They are basically deciding public opinion and politics. Crazy fact that AWS(Amazon) owns 47% of the internet servers and can use data against any person, politician, or company. The US isn't free anymore sadly.

ancient hornet
#

that's rather unrelated to the fact that app seemed to have horrible security practices and ended up a big privacy failure

tidal ivy
#

The US wasn't exactly ever 'free'

ancient hornet
#

as for Amazon power, seems they already found a new host so the only issue is them tying their tech stack to AWS in the first place which they should know better else they'd be able to migrate faster

tidal ivy
#

AWS is also not using any data against anyone - they're just exercising their right to freedom by choosing who their customers are, heh

#

it's the same law that allows US bakeries to not make gay wedding cakes, so swings and roundabouts, you can't have it both ways

#

as for the leak, it's happened because Parler's security practices failed, so when Twilio removed their authentication from the login chain, Parler either automatically failed in such a way that nobody had to authenticate to login, or Parler themselves decided to remove the requirement

median wraith
#

Don't worry isn't America, at this point is every country in the earth

mossy nexus

Could be worse. Could be the UK ๐Ÿ˜„

I mean, you could always set up your own servers, freedom is a great thing not to be taken for granted

pearl elk
#

Totally an option, but hey lets complain about imaginary Communism instead ๐Ÿ™‚

normal prism
#

Granted, in the US those restrictions are smaller than in Europe for instance

#

But these people are ultimately still on a platform that has terms of service

#

If you break those, you're out

pearl elk
#

common law is pretty equal across most westernised countries tbh

normal prism
#

We have stronger limits here in Europe

#

Especially around hate speech/incitement of violence

#

It's looser in the US

pearl elk
#

politicians tend to be given more leeway for whatever reason, thats why they seem to dodge libel suits by the dozen

#

parliamentary privilege here only covers when youre on the job

#

but stuff like this still happens shrugs

normal prism
#

But the government canโ€™t order private censorship any more than it can censor directly. Thatโ€™s because U.S. constitutional tradition treats hate speech as the advocacy of racist or sexist ideas. They may be repellent, but because they count as ideas, they get full First Amendment protection.

Hate speech can only be banned in the U.S. if it is intended to incite imminent violence and is actually likely to do so. This permissive U.S. attitude is highly unusual. Europeans donโ€™t consider hate speech to be valuable public discourse, and reserve the right to ban it. They consider hate speech to degrade from equal citizenship and participation. Racism isnโ€™t an idea; itโ€™s a form of discrimination.

The underlying philosophical difference here is about the right of the individual to self-expression. Americans value that classic liberal right very highly -- so highly that we tolerate speech that might make others less equal.

pearl elk
#

US still bans vulgarities under common law, its not as free as most US Americans like to think

normal prism
#

Aye ๐Ÿ˜„

#

It's all highly context-based

pearl elk

yeah depends if youre a rich white male or not hehe

Not so crazy when you think about how many are being made, soon old chips will be currency ๐Ÿ˜›

ancient hornet

far all we know, they might end up made in the EU ๐Ÿ˜„

there has been a lot of money injected in the semiconductor industry by the EU recently

we already make a lot of the tools used to make those anyway

pearl elk

Well I hope so because we could use more foundries, its pretty clear theres not enough of em to go around

so gaming laptops is not your thing?

pearl elk

kinda makes you wonder why Nvidia cant do a DLSS and RTX card thats seperate

#

I guess we're all getting fries with that whether we want em or not

soft night
#

tehre was m started GPU on laptops before

median wraith
#

you want the AI module to be sold separately so you can purchase it individually and plug to the card as the PS2 memory ?

pearl elk
#

back in my day 2d and 3d were done by separate dedicated cards ๐Ÿ™‚

#

RTX module sold seperately so I can upgrade that when it gets good ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

fluid bloom

I wonder what the latency between separate rtx and gpu cards would be

#

I mean, bandwidth can be as high as you want

#

but latency?

soft night
#

with intel nwe there is AI in cpu too

#

nvidia reflex is bringingyou low input lag

#

Mons you want eGPU?

pearl elk
#

Im just thinkin especially with DLSS it could be a huge seller for addon cards

#

want DLSS and RTX 3 just upgrade the addon card

soft night
#

well now there is huge demand

#

so cards are in out of stock

pearl elk
#

yeah and if the price and stock arnt fixed in time Im just going to be looking at Nvidias next thing

soft night
#

even with new consoles

median wraith

upgrade when it gets good ?

modern Nvidia GPUs don't even reach the warranty

pearl elk

everyone keeps bullshitting about 4K support

for me RTX laptops are the thing well only option

new monitors was cool

pearl elk

or even better, put it in the screen so we can use phones to give us console like graphics

how a game that don't work in any computer in the earth

which game?

why would you even download a game these days, makes you wonder doesnt it

why wouldnt you just stream the bits you need than waiting to get the whole 100GBs

I really needed that high quality audio taking up my HDD space

how is Ark the most played game

My buddies are always confused when map changes cause huge files to be replaced

stiff crystal

Turns out packing game assets = files might not delta patch well ( I assume )

median wraith

there you go

#

they still have to update the whole world

stiff crystal
#

also you can't do delta patches if you encrypt the packages

median wraith
#

added some kind of "The Rock" Alcatraz thing sized map, still no update to the big one

stiff crystal
#

basically only way to keep the update size feasible is to do minor fixes in additional files (like people did in the old days)

red pewter
#

I love the goofy old game directory structures with everything a separate file ๐Ÿฅบ

median wraith
#

yeah I loved the COD update systems back in the days, you can add a new pak file or a given point replace all the last ones by a newer

stiff crystal
#

yeah, that's how it worked in many games in past

but now games are huge

there's not much space to waste for leftovers

It's good business. Two players mostly, they can allow themselves little stonks here & there.

broken quiver
#

I had a funny bug hunting experience just now. I have a large procgen HISM that generates the same on the server and all clients, and some code that lets the player destroy an instance of the HISM without loading the network much. When one gets destroyed, a destructable substitute mesh is spawned, fragments and the instance gets scaled to 0 and moved outside the map (because just removing the instance would mess up the indexing of the HISM and the ints packed by the server would remove the wrong instance).

So, i notice that destroying an instance disables hitreg against pawns until the destructable mesh debris get cleaned up. What? So is it the collision on the destructable mesh? no. Does disabling the destructable mesh spawning fix it? no. So, i try disabling the code that modifies HISM instance. Somehow that works. Apparantly i was placing the 0 scaled instance so far outside the map that it was breaking ue's collision system, and then the destructable mesh cleanup would reliably kick ue into fixing it, somehow. Amazing.

Apparently Hitman 3 is doing some stuff to retroactively shrink the first 2 games, Warframe recently went nuts with some better compression too. Least there are companies out there considering it, I mean Epic must have somethin in the works with this RAD purchase

#

Its a real issue when youre expected to have fast SSDs for loading, every little bit of space counts again, its not like you want to put a 250GB game onto a spinner and NVMe SSDs just arnt cheap enough for everyone to have 4TBs floating around

#

Titanfall 2 might be bloated with language packs but it also lets you play as the game is downloading, I think we need more of that. For me some games are like a movie, I'll watch it once but wont touch it again for years so whats the point of storing much of it except the most relevant runtime data just like a netflix stream cache

#

Stupid thing is that UE1 actually had the ability to stream content from servers, lots of games which support mods do yet its never used outside that use case

cursive crypt
#

interesting

pearl elk
#

With cosmetics too you really dont want users to be downloading huge content packs they never interact with, it'd be better to do that on demand. Real issue would be open world games, Tim Sweeney see's things moving in a more MMO direction but Im not sure if thats beneficial from a Single Player standpoint as it could use more bandwith. Playing something like Cyberpunk 2077 youre constantly moving around potentially streaming all that data in/out. So theres no silver bullet, interested to see what UE5 brings on the metaverse side of things

#

One thing you could do with an open world game is stream the radio, seems like low hanging fruit

speaking of dubs I was watching a Jackie Chan movie set in Australia and it had dubs since it was originally filmed in Chinese, was strange as hell. Bleeding Steel its called

I really hate when movies record dialog after filming

it never truly syncs up with lips

and it bothers me... A LOT

pearl elk

dubs can be really well done, atleast with Jackie Chan his voice is his voice on both

but they get these little girls to voice women and it sounds so odd

fluid bloom

better than one woman doing sounds for everything like in old cartoons that the importing company was too poor to dub properly

pearl elk

lol depends on how good of a voice actor they are I suppose

thats one thing I do like about Netflix the quality of the dubs on there tend to be really good

its good when they take real effort to match the cadence with the lips to sync it up

loose morals is more fun lol

Oh no no I think everyone should absolutely have someone to look up to 100% I just think people should choose fewer to understand what they want / who they wanna be

Ideal? No

pearl elk

as long as youre not hurting others I see no harm in it

zinc matrix

Well trust me I'm no saint

#

I sin a lot

lone grail
#

Me too but never hurt others

zinc matrix

But I try to keep my heart in the right place

Same

yet somehow a dude with xray vision is a saint

lone grail
#

He's a saint for saving people but not for looking at tiddies lol

pearl elk

imagine what his hormones would be like as a teen, jeez, super size

lone grail

Lol

pearl elk

theres a saying about eyes bigger than your stomach and his eyes are super duper

real palm

faithful Christians have been absolutely horrendous and nihilistic atheists have been saintlike (and vice versa).

External pressures or lack thereof don't make the man, so to say. If the only thing keeping you good is the threat of everlasting torture, are you actually a good person?

# pearl elk yet somehow a dude with xray vision is a saint

I'm not saying Superman is more important than Jesus Christ or actual saints, nowhere near in fact, but Superman is a generally positive figure because of the core concept of him: an alien from a dying world sent to Earth with powers and abilities that could be easily used to oppress and hurt others if he wanted to, but instead chooses to use them for good the best he can, even if his answer isn't always ideal or perfect

lone grail
#

The only thing to make someone a good person is themselves, it all starts within

pearl elk
#

I guess it depends on your definition of good doesnt it

#

the best intentions n all that, you know like nuclear weapons

real palm
#

and that's the problem, @pearl elk, is that these beings always are made to have human ideals as their fundamental nature

#

Well, for yahweh the fundamental nature is whatever his mood is this minute...

pearl elk
#

yeah thats what confuses me, see I like Dune because that has some deep views around other worldly beings

zinc matrix
pearl elk
#

sounds like Optimus Prime

real palm
#

I dislike that definition of good

zinc matrix
zinc matrix
pearl elk
#

nothing wrong with that, but if youre talking about Superman you might want to add totally rocking body

lone grail
#

Optimus prime promotes violence = bad
Optimus prime serves and protects spongey beings = good
Is it was it is

real palm
#

I prefer to define good as far more humanist. Paraphrasing:

That which largely increases wellbeing, reduces suffering, or both.

There's a much better worded version somewhere. Your definition allows for calling someone good because of their fierce loyalty and sense of honor/justice, even when that loyalty is under a despot.

@zinc matrix

zinc matrix
lone grail
#

Yeah which inevitably is good, by what I said I was meaning there is always 2 sides to look at things and the definition of good or bad can be overlooked based on each persons perspective

pearl elk
#

Im sure Thanos thought he was doing good

zinc matrix
lone grail
#

Thanos believed he was doing good for personal reasons which inevitably leads to (bad)?

real palm
#

So you're saying my definition is more narrowly scoped than yours? Isn't that a good thing?

pearl elk
#

see Superman rarely has that dilemma, supes good, bad guy bad, boom boom, zzzt, go to jail

lone grail
#

Yeah but who rebuilds the empire state building each week? ๐Ÿ˜› lol

real palm
#

Hero stories often break down when the villains have a point

zinc matrix
lone grail
#

OH OH OH there should be a rollercoaster tycoon style game where you just rebuild after heroes save the city

#

Superman has been bad but t'wasn't his intention

zinc matrix
lone grail
#

I know just thought I'd point it out

#

I like Batman because his situations are more grounded than Superman... most of the time, and his vulnrabilities are more real

zinc matrix
pearl elk
#

I guess I just dont like too much super in my heros ๐Ÿ˜›

zinc matrix
#

Pfft, and ppl say Batman is more relatable

lone grail
#

You can see it that way sure, but superman is scared of shiny rocks ๐Ÿ˜›

pearl elk
#

we all know Batman has mental health issues

lone grail
#

I'm kidding, but I do quite like Batman better and situations he's put in

I wish I could wear glasses and look like a totally different person

#

totally relatable ๐Ÿ˜›

real palm
#

Yeah? Neither is the christian god

zinc matrix
#

Superman has demonstrated multiple times of putting his life at risk in a depowered human physical level to protect innocents

pearl elk
#

Is his life at risk though, like really

lone grail
#

He does have moments of vulnrability and chooses to sacrifice himself for the greater good

zinc matrix
real palm
#

it's supposed to be just the right amount of friction... like how does he overcome it instead of "oh no he will die"

pearl elk
#

put the protagonist in danger Will Robinson

#

its all very formulaic, not saying it shouldnt be but these stories have been around since story telling began. There were always epic heroes, hideous beasts, this whole super idea doesnt belong to one man ๐Ÿ™‚

Relatability

You have to defend yourself

True

pearl elk

Plus I dont think killing undead counts as killing ๐Ÿ˜›

lone grail
#

Does it count as a double kill?

pearl elk
#

thats more sending them back to whence they came

zinc matrix
#

But isn't it better to try to incapacitate a threat without killing them so they can have a chance for redemption?

lone grail
#

If it's zombies I ain't doing that lol

zinc matrix
#

Well yeah zombies are fair game cuz they're soulless bodies

#

Thank God we don't have to worry about them IRL though

#

Anyway, you guys do have valid points

#

Maybe it's just a symptom of the post-9/11 society we live in

real palm
zinc matrix
#

It's easier to appeal to fear than hope

real palm

Eg, imagine there were literal laws that you could only bake cookies for the purpose of leaving them for Santa

zinc matrix

#

I don't want to see that analogy have a basis in reality, so I oppose the idea

pearl elk
#

what if zombies arnt soulless and can be saved ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

zinc matrix
#

That's like saying if I pigeonholed all Muslims as terrorists

remote brook

Zombies are the answer to immortality, duh!

Why did you ask me to explain if you're going to dismiss my explanation

pearl elk

Supes is a Mary Sue, maybe Sueperman ๐Ÿ˜›

Soups

zinc matrix

Well the believe with zombies is that the soul is trapped in which is why it's important to kill them so the mindless bodies can release the souls

zinc matrix

Anyway I'll just get to the point. Y'all tend to vote as a block and the officials and judges that are a result of that are very threatening to me (even though I'm allegedly exactly as your god intended).

You seriously tell me that y'all dont vote in a block, as if it's football and you're alabama fans

pearl elk
#

yes, wait super saiyan?

zinc matrix
#

Yeah

real palm
#

But your god can't exist as written, it has nothing to do with my failure to suspend disbelief

#

So for a logical impossibility to make my life worse, that's repugnant to me

zinc matrix

That's the problem I have. Im not saying any particular believer is actively vitriolic towards me

I'm on the side of the witches ๐Ÿ˜›

If you believe in any of the "infinite" theories, then everyone is correct and all things exist and do not exist at the same time.

zinc matrix

Lol

#

@remote brook It's like that dudes cat, in which you cannot see you cannot know or not know, there is only possibility

pearl elk
#

pretty sure the Bible says that theres no way to see God, not while youre living

lone grail

You're only supposed to feel the presence and hear the voice

and see the bush ๐Ÿ˜›

pearl elk

God is too all powerful or some such

#

so you only see signs

#

Moses may have met God I suppose

zinc matrix

He did

#

Just in a unique way

tulip orbit

I wanna meet god. and give him a piece of my mind ๐Ÿ˜ก

lone grail
#

Moses heard the voice and visualized him, but didn't see directly as we see others

zinc matrix
#

God never said all His methods had to always make sense to us

pearl elk

yeah cuz something went wrong for Moses didnt it thats why the tablet broke in 2

Im guessing exists is the wrong word to use, I mean God might get out of that one on a technicality

Lol

Okay so, let's see. So, the Bible is the inerrant word of God? God's fundamental nature prevents him from being deceitful? And Jesus is actually God because the trinity is all one entity? @zinc matrix
