Here is a good funny UE related video: https://youtu.be/PsPabalNDLk

Funny infomercial style video about The Unreal Engine Building Tool. I love unreal engine and use it as my primary game dev engine, btw. But, I think its appropriate to have a little fun and make some comedy every now and then.

I read the metric system at least.

The conversion from C to F throws me, since 0c is 32f, so C always ends up being warmer than I expect it to.

Yeah I wish US would convert, tbh.

That would be 72°F

It is 1.4 multiple and 32 additional or the opposite

I can tell you're not a designer then

If you're any good at it, you'll be using a spreadsheet a lot

Unless your game doesn't have any numbers... you need to do a lot of math and data tracking

Shootmania: No Excel

Borderlands: Excel !

Doom: Slide ruler ?

If you're not designing systems, you're basically "random ideas guy" which is the problem with a lot of games

#

And balance winds up all over the fucking place

primal spoke
#

Ideas Guys in game dev...sigh.

regal pecan

A lot of games seem to achieve a very tepid balance that's not interesting to play. I can't tell if they used or needed Excel to achieve it.

hmm this Spotify survey is interesting, its asking me about how much I play video games

On a scale of 1 happiness to 10 happy

UI guy at @spotify: "hmm our users seem to have gotten comfortable with our UI, what if we moved the refresh button AGAIN?"

pearl elk

No actually they are asking about playing Spotify while gaming

They seem to think they can replace a games soundtrack, I was kinda hoping they would be more in tune than that

I know that this question will be a little off topic, do you guys know if there's a channel for Epic Metaverse ? mostly brainstorming and/or product development ?

primal spoke
quasi mantle
#

Though this very channel and #ue4-general have been used to discuss game idea and a bit of gamedev brainstorming using UE4

lost tangle
#

I know the basis of Metaverse is the unification and standardization of gaming and seamless integration. But I want to know what you guys think that actually translates into ---- could you bring your custom avatar from Fortnite into a virtual "lobby" and then into GTA5 ?

primal spoke
#

90% of this channel is situational comedy, imo.

quasi mantle
primal spoke
#

today yeah lol!

lost tangle
#

I mean I do know that Epic is pretty serious about metaverse --- when 2 billion is on the table for this project

quasi mantle
#

And I barely knew it existed NaoWaku

#

Though this server as a whole doesn't even remotely talk about Epic Metaverse.

#

This is geared more towards those making games and other kind of CG media using Unreal Engine, than other Epic product (with Epic Online Services being the semi-exception)

quasi mantle
#

Same, the more I think of it, the less sense it makes.

#

Crossovers are cool and all, but we've been doing (unofficial) crossovers via mods for years now. I don't know precisely what Metaverse is achieving, or reinventing the wheel in one way or another.

#

Not to mention some devs might not want their games to have crossovers in any official capacity.

lost tangle
#

well as a creator I was curious to know what would Metaverse entice in the "pipeline" either for devs or 3 d artists or simply just for the end user

I don't think so.

but its also funny cuz it made such a weird impact

primal spoke
#

didn't think about it that way. @quasi mantle

muted oracle
#

its both a game u never hear about and a game that u do, like in some sort of limbo of being forgettable yet memorable

Speaking of which, Metal Gear Solid 2 also predicted internet culture 15 years later

with 100% control as the creator as how permissions work in your creations

muted oracle

i dont really like books

muted oracle
quasi mantle
primal spoke
muted oracle
#

i mean theyre similar enough in content

lost tangle
#

you have many platforms NeosVR / VrChat/ Sansar/ Helios

quasi mantle
#

I've been doing mods and crossover models across games since 2006.

muted oracle
#

but sansar is shit and basically only for event hosting now even though it was planned to be the next second life

#

and vrchat lacks anything complicated as persmissions

lost tangle
#

I know I have created tons of content for Sansar

muted oracle
#

nice, i tried it too but gave up

lost tangle
#

that's why I kinda want to see a serious player take this task full on

quasi mantle
#

I understand the capacity of modding, because it's in an unofficial capacity, but what if a game refuses to be part of Metaverse in any official capacity?

lost tangle
#

you can control that with gateways

muted oracle
#

well its a point where UGC is integrated instead of just 'modding'

lost tangle
#

in Unreal or Unity

muted oracle
#

like with gmod id say its more UGC less 'modding'

lost tangle
#

gate in / gate out

quasi mantle
#

Say, I don't want my game to be crossovered with something else, in any official capacity. Can Metaverse prevent it from happening?

muted oracle
#

cuz the UGC is a fundamental part of the game itself

lost tangle
#

again as a creator or studio you should have 100% control on what can come in and what can go out

muted oracle
#

vrchat takes similar steps to youtube where if requested the content will be taken down and uploader reprimanded

quasi mantle
#

Metaverse seems to take this in semi official capacity though

muted oracle
#

when you have hundreds of thousands of people making several avatars and worlds at the same time

#

it costs a lot of money to individually moderate every single thing to come out

lost tangle
#

I mean on the plus plus side Epic is pretty strict on what goes on their marketplace / and the 12% tax is much better than others

muted oracle
#

so most people only moderate after the fact cuz their ToS protects them from the backlash and assumes guilt/fault on the content creator

#

but roblox for example moderates all assets usually, but nowadays they get stopped by a bot content filter for manual review if they raise red flags, or remain undetected until reported

frosty halo
#

Are people really that concerned with their assets getting out?

lost tangle
#

to be honest - pirated content will never subside from existence - and as a creator you have to rely on the market and sales of your creations to cover for those expected losses / and as a pack / avatar creator you basically have to keep pushing forward

quasi mantle
frosty halo
#

It feels like it would be a pain to recreate the same product even with ripped assets. Which would be the only real threat to the product.

muted oracle
#

also piracy in some cases can assist with profits as some pirates tend to purchase the game, gaining interest in it after playing it, although im not sure how much that is relative to those who dont pay anything ever

frosty halo
#

I mean yeah if you’re an established company you don’t want another company’s assets in your game via community. Sure I get that. I am more asking about someone making a game and then spending ages taking down ripped models and stuff off of 3D asset sites whether commercially redistributed or not.

lost tangle
#

also it will become the duty of turbosquid and schetchfab and marketplace and others to police that

muted oracle
#

most of the time like i said they do nothing until someone tells them to and then they take action cuz that requires a smaller moderation team/staff

frosty halo
muted oracle
#

or also have content filter bots to help with recognizing material like youtube content id

quasi mantle
frosty halo
#

And yeah, a person who never intended to spend money on your game wouldn’t have bought it even if they had it. It’s not really a lost sale considering digital distribution

muted oracle
#

the main issue with demos is usually the feature set is very limited allowing only a few seconds, maybe a minute or 2 of gameplay

lost tangle
#

I don't mind the pirates .... honestly I think that's more or less free advertising

muted oracle
#

and that makes sense but its not always enough for someone to be able to figure out whether or not they will enjoy the game

#

anti piracy is always kinda funny though

#

to me i like the games that make fun of the fact you pirated it but dont actually prevent you from playing

frosty halo
#

I’m looking at it this way - people who willingly want to support you and your product will always opt to buy it. It’s not like a pirated copy existing suddenly tanks your sales. It doesn’t work like that.

muted oracle
#

or they just do something stupid to make it more annoying

lost tangle
#

make sure you plaster your brand name in the geometry and in the textures

#

muted oracle
#

i.e. gta 4 anti piracy, game dev tycoon anti piracy, the "What's the square root of a fish?" anti piracy message,

frosty halo
#

My brother really wanted to play DoS2 but had no money, he pirated it. Then he got a job and bought the definitive edition right away cause he loved the game so much.

at least with geometry watermarking you force the pirates to go into blender to flatten that piece of geometry , and then you hope they catch the bug and start creating on their own

frosty halo
#

Oh god the purple and pink. It’s like Rick James threw up everywhere.

muted oracle
#

also game modding is generally in this weird niche, as is with modding on basically every platform

quasi mantle
#

Goodness me, I forgot ancient KDE 4 layout already...

muted oracle
#

companies tend to have this grey line of varying degrees of thickness between "healthy modding" and "malicious modding"

quasi mantle
muted oracle
#

discord and vrchat as good examples

lost tangle
#

like scaling the rig to 1000% ? or particle bombs

muted oracle
frosty halo
#

I am fully in support of game modding. Not only have the various communities proven they can bring amazing work to a game. But they have also diligently patched games that studios have not managed to. Oblivion, Skyrim, Cyberpunk, DoS, Mass Effect, all had unofficial community patches that made the games better.

quasi mantle

Imagine putting a kid character into Hatred 🤮

quasi mantle
muted oracle
frosty halo
#

So long as there’s software - there will be people who wish to exploit it.

muted oracle
#

it really depends on the kind of platform also

frosty halo
#

Fact of life.

muted oracle
#

for example discord having basically all their api public for making bots

#

all that api works on users too so now theres user bots all over the place

frosty halo
#

People are curious creatures. They like to break stuff, take it apart, rebuild it. Some people are also assholes. So now you have a portion of us being curious and clever assholes who like causing problems. Very human. And very annoying.

quasi mantle
#

To me, malicious modding is like modding in characters into cursed games.

lost tangle
#

you can also become paranoid and super conservative .... I mean look at Sansar / they locked that thing down way to tight and thus limited the creators from making anything fun

its fun to have infinite throwing knives, grenades, and money with your buddy to play around and have fun

frosty halo

i like playing racing and shooter games cuz theyre competetive and fun but theres also moments of sheer stupid like tf2 where everyones just dancing in the middle of the game world and its great

lost tangle
#

that's what the CEO of Epic concluded in one of his speeches / people want gaming to be a social experience. Of course that's not all people and of course that's optional

muted oracle
#

it depends on who youre playing with

quasi mantle
#

Consider myself a less social person :3

lost tangle
#

but the option to play the same game regardless of platform with your friends should be available

muted oracle
#

typically if you have friends it is more of an enjoyable experience than with total strangers

#

and in a game like vrchat, social interaction is the name of the game

#

thats what vrchat is for to me

quasi mantle
#

I mean, as much as I talk on typed text, I largely quiet in voice chats.

muted oracle

i can be whatever i want and go wherever i want and talk to loads of people

i use sign language when im in game also so its super fun

My problem is that I actually know Russian thanks to my parents so I’m fine with never playing agains or with Russian ragers again

cuz fornite takes up disk space and its one game as opposed to thousands

the problem with VR chat is that people don't have anything else to do except for trolling

muted oracle

roblox games tend to run pretty well on low end hardware too

lost tangle

if you could shoot people in the face that would solve some issues

I’d imagine it’s a lot harder to groom a child in fortnite when your efforts are constantly being undermined by getting absolutely shit on kill-wise by your intended grooming target or everyone dabbing or whatnot.

To this day I don’t get how people can do eyeliner. I let my daughter try and put eyeliner on me once and she couldn’t even touch my eye. Anything sharp gets even close to my eyeball and I just flinch. I can’t control it. How people managed to near-stab their ocular spheres is beyond me.

I am gonna start moving my assets to Unreal this year and start developing something with them / it will have to be a multiplayer product

muted oracle
#

ima stay on roblox for the most part and come back to hard UE development once UE5 starts getting some bugs fixed and crashes deleted; its in early access after all

#

theres some personal/private animations ive made with blender that i wanna turn into cinematic videogames

#

but film quality assets go brr

lost tangle

I love UE5 so far / and Nanite is awesome - and Lumen

i agree but the editor is giving me god awful performance and i crash frequently

Nala Ishikawa, main protagonist of my single player RPG, PAST FUTURE.
Base model is assembled with VRoid, but outfits are custom made.

I have yet to actually fix her rig to be ALS compliant facePalm

cuz im busy modelling the environment and townspeople

and i hate modelling this stuff it takes so long

quasi mantle
#

My game is single player, so original character matters.
I also had my own world building, and there's a reason why her outfit is rather modern, despite the game is set in fantasy world.

(clue: see the project name in the title bar's directory)

you can play alone and control both characters though

How long have you been working on the whole game @quasi mantle ?

i also found this super old game concept from when i was younger that i want to turn into a shooter game

this one should be a lot easier since the game characters are literally primatives

Annisa Scarlett, the secondary protagonist.
She's the native character, meant as the second playable character.

#

(also I kinda put some boob size jokes with both characters TsubaPero )

muted oracle
#

since i cant use magic car script like Chaos Vehicles its all manual labor programming

#

playing with deformation

#

ik its basic but its not very easy to do in this engine

lost tangle
#

I mean you can add sockets on the rig and have multiple levels of crumple on your final mesh

muted oracle
#

yea but i cant manually deform these objects, theyre actually rigged

#

so what im deforming is by moving bones

#

making lots of progress though on assets

#

have a friend who makes car models/assets for a living and hes donating one for expirementation

lost tangle
#

yes it would be cool to have 2 versions of the same car

quasi mantle
#

This is one of the time I'm injecting anime trope joke into the design.
Nala is around 4 years younger than Annisa.

lost tangle
#

one brand new and one completely wrecked

muted oracle
lost tangle
#

and you can go back and forth in between the two with a mask

muted oracle
#

and the frame and parts are deformable or detachable

#

and stuff like hood crumpling

lost tangle
#

yep .... loose a headlight --- etc

muted oracle
#

that and if you smash the front side of the car you can bust the wheel, dent the chassis, and demolish basically the whole corner

#

but its difficult to do when youre the one that has to program all of that

#

but not impossible, its not like these games dont run on their own engines where these features didnt exist

#

so at least somebody was in charge of programming it, but usually its also multiple professionals when im just a singular game developer

lost tangle
#

I'm mostly focused on assets for developers / however I do have a vision for a pvp multiplayer / VR/FPS/3rd person

quasi mantle
#

It wasn't Epic standard per se, because VRoid rig lacks twist bones, and I had to add them myself.

muted oracle
#

i just have a script to do that for me

quasi mantle
#

At least it has 4 spine bones (pelvis included) unlike MMD standard, which I despise so much.

quasi mantle
muted oracle
#

mine just blends the weight across the old bone and the twist bone automatically

#

it was annoying to write but python go brr

quasi mantle
#

Though I'm solving it on my own with some modifier tricks and Auto Rig Pro.

#

The problem is compensating additional bones, like the breasts and the hair

#

This is how it goes right now

muted oracle
#

why u made the root bone so big

#

i use my own jiggle physics scripts usually

#

more predictable, easier to optimize

quasi mantle
#

Nah, I simulate the physics with Kawaii Physics addon in UE4.

(which is deeply integrated in my modified UE4)

It's as simple as choosing a bone and adjust the parameters and the collision bodies.

i know my physics 😛

Why bake them when you can simulate them in real time.
(except (un)dressing scenes)

muted oracle
#

undressing scenes

quasi mantle
muted oracle
#

i dont need extreme booba

#

just booba

#

i have simulated jiggles too but theyre carefully optimized and solved in multiple threads

carmine frigate
#

you can bake all physics

quasi mantle
carmine frigate
#

take recorder can also bake physics

muted oracle
#

i just dont do it cuz its more reactive, especially if i have collisions with the body enabled

#

although i have tried it with animations before too

#

less effort though to not use them

#

booba eat up miniscule fraction of cpu time since i got more important stuff going on like gameplay loop and modules

quasi mantle
#

hahaha bewbs go jiggly jiggly

muted oracle
#

one thing im trying to do also is make accurate vehicle suspension

#

but in video games that is so difficult

#

because physics constraint systems broken as shit sometimes

#

or dont function at all like irl

#

ik its a lot easier to just use a vertical piece of suspension with no contraptions like wishbone or one big axel but simulated suspension is so good

quasi mantle

Will it blend?
That's the question.

Hey I managed to buy a bike this night 💁🏻‍♂️

light spruce

Managed? Is that normally hard to do?

median wraith
#

The sector will be collapsed until mid 2022 mid so lol

#

Is even worst than the gpus

light spruce
#

.. where the hell am I?

median wraith
#

Is out of stock since like when the COVID started

#

As it raise like a 400%

#

And there still no bikes to supply

#

So yesterday purchased one that isnt as good as I wanted but is close

light spruce
#

Granted, my perspective will be a bit skewed since it's not a particularly valid method of transport in most places here.

median wraith
#

Got it in a second hand web, but it's basically as these cars that were never used and they do a discount

cursive crypt
median wraith
#

But technically the base price + ship price + paypal extta 3 base cost me about the same pf the new one before the crysis

#

Extta 3 percent of base price*

light spruce
#

Even when I was physically capable of biking, it would have taken ages to get anywhere

median wraith
#

Spotted worst bikes for 200€ more so...

light spruce

Also hilariously unsafe

median wraith
#

Yeah it does but 🙈

cursive crypt
#

Bikes are kinda pop across EU

#

... and other places

median wraith
#

Fact it's I was on but 4 days in row because had pain in my spine and wasnt able to move at all just for a bad day walking

#

So I get myself a bike expecting to get a better 16 days with something broken 💁🏻‍♂️🤣

cursive crypt
#

"Back pain" as in when you crouch and you get that sudden knife cutting feeling?

median wraith
light spruce
#

I'd have to do over 16k round trip to bike to a grocery store

median wraith
#

Wasn't able to even stand up as the torso weight were too much for the bottom of the spine

cursive crypt

Heard recently that it is in fact recommended not to stay put too much. Moving is better.

light spruce
#

"stabbing" is probably what you're looking for there

median wraith

Well wasn't a cut at all 🤔
Kinda a muscle nod or whatever

This is close to our term, but yea

My boss once told me he screwed himself when tried to wipe his ass.

Some people like reading randomly generated text descriptions of things that didn't happen. Not me.

cursive crypt

I haven't played it, nor I know much about it, but I still don't know wth is going on.

#

Anyway, rogue-like are niche.

light spruce
#

Part of it strikes me as this really complex World War ... I don't remember if it was one or two... but a board game... And it has all these crazy logistics... and stuff like how the Italians have to have more water because of cooking pasta

regal pecan
#

It's not a rogue-like, though it does have an adventure mode.

light spruce
#

Just so much shit going on... and then it isn't helped by the limited representation of things

regal pecan
#

It's like a masochistic version of Sim City.

#

Or a sadistic version of The Settlers.

cursive crypt
#

oh, really, thought it is ascii based

light spruce
#

it is

regal pecan
#

Rogue-like refers to a try, die, try again style of RPG.

light spruce
#

But that doesn't have anything to do with the gameplay part

regal pecan
#

FTL is a rogue-like.

cursive crypt
#

Ah, I see, I auto assumed it is some fancy-smart rpg

#

But it is else

light spruce
#

If you really want to piss off someone being super pedantic, do what I do and say "rogue-lite" is a stupid term and I'm not going to use it because it's meaningless anyway

#

Because, depending on who you ask, the only difference between a rogue-like and rogue-lite is whether or not it's a full reset when you die

#

And that's a stupid distinction

cursive crypt
#

lol

light spruce
#

I've seen the argument where it's only "rogue-like" if it's "like rogue" meaning that and turn-based and a bunch of other random shit

regal pecan
#

Now that you mention it, I'm puzzled at what games are rogue-lites and what aren't.

light spruce
#

Exactly.

#

Also, the very part where it's "rogue-lite" makes me think of a shitty light beer

#

And Rogue doesn't make light beer

regal pecan
#

I thought it was because you could finish them in under two hours.

#

Then again, you can probably finish rogue in under two hours if you know what you're doing and have brilliant luck.

cursive crypt
#

Haven't played these in the past 20 years I think.

#

Wonder how much changed.

light spruce
#

Nope. It's supposed to be stuff like having any kind of permanent upgrades... like any kind of run to run progression

#

Rogue Legacy would be a "rogue-lite"

#

If you want to get off into the weeds real quick... you can ask something like "Which is FTL? Because you do unlock other ships and starting layouts"

cursive crypt
#

wtf is ftl

light spruce
#

It's an initialism for "Faster Than Light" which is also the name of a video game

#

Which, unsurprisingly, takes place in space

cursive crypt
#

Ah, I see 👍

#

Think in Mass Effect they also used that abbreviation 🤔

light spruce
#

It's used in a lot of sci-fi that isn't Star Wars or Star Trek

cursive crypt
#

'Cause they "wrapwarp" instead?

light spruce
#

hyperspace for Star Wars, warp speed (with warp factors!) for Star Trek

#

Still unclear on how fast "Warp Factor: Dick" is though

#

Which is a term used in a Regular Car Reviews of the Focus RS

#

or maybe it wasn't the RS

#

who knows

fluid bloom

#

Finns burned russians instead of russians finns like IRL?

#

Years later ... "The Focus RS is a wooden bleacher seat crashing through your neighborhood at Warp Factor: Dick. The Focus RS is too fast for the real world, even though it has all-wheel drive." So ... still no clue how fast that is.

Off-topic but since there's many devs in here I'll try: We have a command line tool at work that spits out text to a command prompt... I want to take that text and do some string replacements on it before it gets displayed... how do I do that in Windows 10 without requiring each user to install something?

fluid bloom
#

sounds like you need to do some powershell/bat scripting

lucid walrus
#

bat scripting is that powerful these days? last time I looked at it must have been around 1990 and it couldn't do anything back then 😄

fluid bloom
#

replacing a piece of string with another string is pretty basic, I'm really surprised if it didn't do such things in 1990 😄

lucid walrus
#

sure, but in a long multi-line output? I remember learning how to "pipe" that in Linux through regexp and then looking at DOS and there was just nothing similar

#

Huh... why would something built into Windows tell me to go and try something "cross platform"? 😄

fluid bloom
#

it does run on mac and linux too so it is cross platform

#

previous powershell versions only ran on windows

#

anyway, I have no experience with windows scripting so I can't really help you :\

light spruce
#

Why wouldn't you do it with powershell?

#

Also, I'm a little confused.. you have a tool already... so.. isn't that tool installed somewhere?

lucid walrus
#

Sure, I'll look into powershell, thanks! I was just asking since I haven't done anything like this in 30 years 😄

fluid bloom
#

yea powershell is the thing you should use

#

it's nice I've heard

shell garden
#

you know what's nicer?

#

an OS that has a proper shell scripting environment

light spruce
#

Something stupid that you're about to say, probably

#

Pretty close.

lucid walrus
#

yeah, I was going to guess Linux 😄

shell garden
#

pretty sure microsoft has a version of bash these days, with it's "windows compatibility layer for linux" or whatever they call it

#

personally i like zsh as an interactive shell

#

not sure if i want to script with it 🙃

#

i got into the habit of making sure my shell scripts were as portable as possible

#

these days i usually want them working on both gnu/linux and osx

light spruce
#

powershell is a proper shell scripting environment... WSL isn't automatically installed and is basically a container... so that's neither viable or a good solution for the problem as presented

shell garden
#

osx doesn't have realpath and it's frustrating

#

no, powershell isn't a proper shell scripter. it's a wrapper around .net objects

#

i won't deny it has some very useful features, and that it really does try to be user-friendly for shell users, but it absolutely does not behave like a shell

light spruce
#

@lucid walrus is this existing tool just dumping text out to some networked drive? Or is said tool installed on client machines already?

lucid walrus
light spruce
#

surround it with three graves

lucid walrus
#

got it in two 😉

light spruce
#

single ones do inline... three does the block... and you can specify a language for syntax highlighting if you know what the name of the language is listed in in... whatever the hell syntax highlight package they use

lucid walrus
#

Ouch... hope this is already set for us... otherwise, Powershell is out 😦

light spruce
#

It probably won't be, which is why I already went and found the hilarious workaround for it because I've used it

lucid walrus
#

ok... I'm all ears 😄

light spruce
#

It has to run from cmd, so you can put that part in a batch file, which is what I did. powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\whateverScriptFile.ps1

#

So, yeah, it won't let you run it from powershell directly.. but it has no problem letting you start powershell from cmd while setting the execution policy for that powershell instance

lucid walrus
#

what an amazing security solution! 😄

#

well done Microsoft

light spruce
#

The odd thing is that it's arguably better to set the security policy for an instance rather than on the machine as a whole anyway

#

I used it to create a simple tool to manage keeping config settings for people when distributing updated mod packages for my Valheim server

lucid walrus
#

ok, now for the trusty old "search for existing solutions to my problem in the language I don't understand and then cut and paste and try shit until it works"! 😅

light spruce
#

Pretty much. Powershell is a little weird

Though at least it doesn't use that dogshit if/fi that shell scripts do

some of them are 3k, no idea why

I'd get an Asus ROG STRIX probably if I was buying, but those things are also 3k so no thanks lol

verkkokauppa got five VENTUS 3X 10G OC models... in motherfucking february

that's the last delivery according to them

so these are now priced around what I paid for my 1080 Ti when it was new :P

#

also with Asus, the TUF and STRIX price difference is 1000 eur for the 3090's

and as far as I can tell, the TUF just has no LEDs and has a 750w PSU recommendation instead of 850w?

maybe the other one is overclocked

Yeah, I had all kinds of bizarre problems with just having a multimonitor setup

#

like the cursor would randomly just start flickering as some random piece of graphics from somewhere else on the screen

#

and this was not a fault with the GPU I had, the problem persisted across multiple series of AMD cards and many different sets of drivers :D

#

if someone gave me an amd card between 6700xt and 6900xt, i wouldn't complain. their rasterisation performance is very close to nvidia this generation

#

😔

foggy path
#

Yeah I mean if someone gave me one, sure

shell garden
#

but i would prefer an nvidia, cos if i gonna get a raytracing card, i want a good one 🙃

foggy path
#

But I'm not buying one lol

shell garden
#

doesn't matter for me cos i can't afford any upgrades at all

tulip orbit
#

technically I cant either (unemployed), but its my bday soon, and its to the point now where I cant run new games, cause I'm stuck on win7

in soviet roblox, rubles make you!

light spruce
#

Don't make me ask for the suicide bow again

#

I don't want to be awake but I couldn't fall asleep

#

I guess as long as I'm up, I should put on pants so my legs aren't cold.

#

ok this week's free game is good fun

#

hell is other demons

#

mindless bullethell

#

but with just enough telegraphing to make it mildly strategic

ionic siren
#

Oh nice, looks pretty sweet. Overcooked 2 will be fun to play with my friends too

#

Yo I need some input on what would be the best/expected functionality in my main menu

carmine frigate
#

start the game, exit the game

ionic siren
#

Oh nice. I'm done then.

cursive crypt
ionic siren
#

lol you don't need alt+f4 functionality when you've gotta a power button on the chassis dummy

humble remnant
#

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

#

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ionic siren
#

Actually I don't need input I think I know the answer to my question

humble remnant
#

I just saw some of the E3 announcements

#

New Painkiller game

cursive crypt
#

df happened to you

ionic siren
#

Don't get hyped, don't ever get hyped

cursive crypt
#

What Painkiller? Is it safe?

ionic siren
#

The games industry always finds a way to f things up

dusky seal
cursive crypt
#

Really? Sounds stupid to provide as default system-wide binds.

#

What about ctrl+alt+del

dusky seal
#

One day I playing with my friend in Eve Online and he told me "press alt+f4 for activates your modules"))

humble remnant
#

So basically

#

No key left unbound

cursive crypt
#

yo, you, what game you saw?

humble remnant
#

Painkiller sequel being announced

cursive crypt
#

Ah... That kinda wolfenstein/doom stuff?

humble remnant
#

More towards doom

#

But with more quake movement

#

So, bunnyhops and stuff

light spruce
#

Considering how dogshit anything other than the original Painkiller has been

#

... trailing off ...

#

I liked it a lot more than I did the Doom reboot

humble remnant
#

As in, Doom 3?

light spruce
#

uh... Doom Reboot 2?

humble remnant
#

Doom 2016, Doom Eternal?

light spruce
#

Yes. Well, I have no opinion on Eternal because I never bothered to play it

humble remnant
#

It seems to have more mechanics than 2016

#

Also the mechanics of 2016 are somewhat closer to Unreal than Quake

#

It's just different games

light spruce
#

This ZFS migration may ... take a few

#

One of the biggest things that I missed from Painkiller were the two binds for "fire the highest weapon in this list that you have and have ammo for"

humble remnant
#

The lack of any equip/unequip animations really makes it work

light spruce
#

Being able to run around with the shotgun/freezer equipped and hit a button to launch a rocket or another button to lob a giant stake across the universe was fantastic

#

I remember that Doom had weapon upgrade stuff... but I'm pretty sure I can't tell you what any of them were other than the plasma rifle did something when it overheated

foggy path
#

Doom Eternal did a bit better with the upgrades, at least some of them were useful to swap sometimes

#

but definitely some felt like an obviously better choice majority of the time (eg. grenade launcher on shotty instead of the fast firing mode)

pearl elk
#

There will be a new Painkiller soon enough

light spruce
#

That's what brought it up; the part where any of the followups were garbage

pearl elk
#

People say that about all entertainment

#

apparently the 1930s King Kong is the best ever

vestal vine
#

im not sure how i should make my game First Person Or Third Person its multiplayer

carmine frigate
#

@pearl elk that last kong movie was pretty terrible 😛

#

kong vs some robot godzilla... really?

vestal vine
#

Godzilla Vs Kong would u count that?

carmine frigate
#

yea

cursive crypt
#

FPS MMO

vestal vine
#

its a survival game

cursive crypt
#

It's fine, add loot boxes

vestal vine
#

so first person ??

ionic siren
#

First person if you're going for immersion, third if you want it to be liked by casuals

cursive crypt
#

... or Second person, nowadays nobody makes such games.

vestal vine
#

also C++ or BP

cursive crypt
#

luamua

light spruce
#

I'd play a second person survival game

cursive crypt
#

^

ionic siren
#

Use whatever you're best at. Most things can be done in BP

vestal vine
#

ok

ionic siren
#

I love BP but I find that it's hard to get back into an old BP project that I've abandoned

vestal vine
#

will i be able to convert it after?

cursive crypt
#

Just to summarize, second person survival VR MMO written in luamua

pearl elk
#

Im sure there are bigger questions than what camera to use

light spruce
#

Second person games make my brain hurt

ionic siren
#

Yep, you can always turn BP into CPP

vestal vine
#

oh cool

#

i just changed from unity to UE4/5 bc ive been supprised by more features

ionic siren
#

Also do yourself a favor and get the BP Assist plugin

vestal vine
#

ok

cursive crypt
ionic siren
#

With that plugin, you can just press F in the BP editor and it will clean things up and make it super neat

pearl elk
#

Devils in the details

cursive crypt
#

F to pay respect

pearl elk
#

shame pressing F wont fix bad code

cursive crypt
#

You need to press it thrice.

pearl elk
#

fff

pearl elk
#

nope just checked github, didnt work 😛

ionic siren
cursive crypt
#

Everyone knows that beautiful code = good code

vestal vine
#

its £17

pearl elk
cursive crypt
#

Definitely.

ionic siren
#

Worth 50 bucks. You'll use it for every project after

#

Just don't cross the wires

vestal vine
#

this is taking ages to download idk if it will even import

light spruce
#

It's just like passing options for verbosity
