Why does it have that square bit in the middle?

because someone erased stuff and reversed the video

nvm thats within unreal

#

are you masking out that thing?

alcohol

#

i never had alcohol

sharp turtle
#

I.e. the gradient map

quasi mantle
#

Also the fact that the image itself is already a diagonal cross as opposed to rotated straight gradient

sharp turtle
#

Gradient maps are a good way to generalize this, but I'd recommend using an additional mask texture for smooth edges. Limits crossings somewhat, but if you can live with that compromise it's a fantastic solution

deep glen
#

@sharp turtle you are a fantastic solution

sharp turtle
#

Here, dug out some old stuff

fleet tangle
#

I'm just thinking aloud, I have no idea what gradient maps are, but is it based on time vs pixel colour of another image? E.g. a pixel value of 0.5 will be revealed half way through? (or perhaps an alpha merge)

sharp turtle
#

Yep

#

Exactly that

fleet tangle
#

Nice.

#

is smrt

sharp turtle
#

Hehe

fleet tangle
#

Definitely kinda cool. You could do that cross thing really quickly with a gradient fill!

quasi mantle
#

TBH the intention was to be used to replicate the bit from Vagrant Story, where the ailment text shown on top of the character and crossed when it's worn out.

# deep glen 11/10 would love to make a game like that.

My game project steals borrows some mechanics from that game, and replicated some part of the UI (including the scrolling ailment icons).

The VATS battle system is repurposed for attack command. So you can have both realtime combat for normal attack and VS-like combat bubble for item use/special abilities

#

I think the twist could add some positioning strategy when executing abilities, so it's not just select an enemy and unleash it no matter the range

I'm so unbelievably excited that I'm almost done using premiere pro and switching to davinci resolve, I don't care if the learning curve is like opening unreal/dota2 for the very first time, adobe's software is just nothing but a tear inducing bad time (except substance suite)

#

in addition to adobes software being horrible, their discord server is filled with meme makers. I don't mean that in a rude way, but it's hard to get and give some actual help when it's just trying to meme-ify a thor meme

cursive crypt

Drop Adobe, start a new life.

#

DaVinci is dope

Literally got my stuff in a handkerchief on a stick ready to start that new life lol

cursive crypt
#

Good. Abstinence from Adobe can hit you hard at the beginning, but it always fet easier down the line.

thorny dock
#

I got stuck with premiere pro and after effects out of convivence, barely needed after effects, it's just to cry through the stuff premiere pro couldn't do. When I found out the only real difference between davinci free and paid is that you can't export above 4k in free, I was like wtf am I doing with my life

I feel like in elden ring when you beat that full moon sorceress and gives you the wants to rebirth rune

Anyone else got issues with YouTube just now? Specifically no menus at all, clicking on user profile icon opens a blank pop-out window.

deep glen

works fine for me, but it has happened occasionally last few months.

A friend down the road has it as well. One wonders if it's regional for some unknown YouTube reason.

unreal ether
#

could be something to do with the ISP in the region? sometimes when theyre working on the roads down here it can make my service spotty

The service is fine, I can watch videos with no problems. It's the menus simply not being there, no icons no text no placeholder stuff.

cannot find anything on it, but looking into the company, it may be proprietary, as people that are accepted through applications can use their tool suite

I thought that game was excellent except for one thing. You get upto the last mission fairly quickly and if you run it, you have to reload a previous save game. Which sucks and I'm not sure why they didn't just let you back out into the open world to finish up. So I have the last mission on hold until they add the post-game.

cursive crypt
#

Maybe the last mission lore was too much of a change? Three endings too afaik. On other hand, I dislike such approach too.

cursive crypt

CP

#

Mind you, I haven't played it. Watched a narrative criticism.

fathom wadi
#

its better than people give it credit for. I can understand why all the ps4 console peasants cried tho. It looked like arse, ran at less than 30fps most times and was buggy. It shouldn't have been on that platform at all. Although my wife liked it

cursive crypt
#

Yeah, was beta release. I mean, I posted a lot of physics memes about it at some point.

fathom wadi
#

oddly enough I only ever saw 2 physics bugs in two full playthroughs. One was a slide effect when I hit a slope on a stairway. The other was a car flipping out one time.

cursive crypt
#

There were many. Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

#

Maybe you played it later?

fringe plaza
#

Yeah 2077 on release was really beta game play some would even argue alpha for the size of the studio

fathom wadi

not on pc it wasn't. it was great πŸ˜„

I just look at the crap EA and Ubisoft peddle, its not like CDPR had a shooter template sitting around

#

and they still manage to screw it up πŸ˜›

fringe plaza
#

Oh I'm not saying they are any better or worse then any other company right now most company promise the next coming of Jesus and deliver dogwater games

pearl elk
#

I just think they cop alot of flak unfairly especially with some of the bugs in From Softwares games getting overlooked completely cuz they cant do anything wrong atm

fringe plaza
#

From software is the only company recently thay has had hype around it and when delivered exceeded that hype

#

They had some frame rate issues that they fixed in the next patch cdpr took ages to fix their game

pearl elk
#

meanwhile Bloodborne is still 30fps

#

CDPR shoulda just never committed to old hardware so close to a new gen of consoles

fringe plaza
#

It wasn't even a hardware issue for them cause even on PC it ran like trash

pearl elk
#

thats because they spent so much of their resources supporting those junker CPUs in the old consoles

#

if they focused on PC it woulda come out in a much better state

#

CPUs were always weak in those consoles, Im surprised Decima managed to push em as hard as it did

fringe plaza
#

I haven't played any games on it I don't think

quasi mantle
#

Kinda half blaming Keanu as well

fluid bloom
#

errr why?

quasi mantle
# fluid bloom errr why?

Felt like before Keanu made an appearance (particularly the E3 demo) the story seem to be promising a lot more, compared to current iteration with ||V being near death due to Keanu's chip mindfrick||

#

Also wasted opportunities with Jackie

fluid bloom
#

but why are you blaming Keanu Reeves? πŸ˜„

pearl elk
#

Ive said it before, Cyberpunk 2077s cutscenes are amazing, Ive not seen a single game which does First Person as well as it does despite its other flaws

fluid bloom
#

Studio makes the decisions

quasi mantle
fluid bloom
#

that's like blaming an actor that the script of a movie sucks

unborn lotus
fluid bloom
#

how do you know the story wasn't going to be about the relic in the first place?

quasi mantle
#

If only the game isn't that prohibitive on the hardware, I'd play it more on PS4.

#

I like grounded cyberpunk scifi stories

pearl elk
#

its the small things I liked, instead of always being the driver its cool when it lets you skip a chat in the passenger seat of a car

Especially with cyberpunk theme, you can glitch the screen to imply some time passage

fathom wadi
#

yeah aside from the fact my wife stole my PS4, I wouldn't play some games on it because they run at 30fps for starters. Plus you need to change the hdd otherwise its slow AF

pearl elk
#

Id imagine they got offered alot of money to support those consoles

fathom wadi
#

if they had more time they could have done enough passes to make the optimisation good enough but thanks to public demand and shareholder greed, they had to release it early

pearl elk
#

I dont like how close the draw distance is on PC but I cant adjust it 😦

quasi mantle
#

PS5 and XSX got released like a month prior
It's such a shame because it has the potentials

pearl elk
#

thing is when they announced it for console the next gen consoles hadnt been announced yet

fathom wadi
#

draw distance in the city doesnt matter πŸ˜„

pearl elk
#

or was it theyd just got announced shortly before

#

devkits for those consoles were late too

#

thats why the launch titles were so lacking

pearl elk
fathom wadi
#

seems fine to me

pearl elk
#

they lowered it right down for console

fathom wadi
#

ahh Im on pc

pearl elk
#

no on PC it sucks too

fathom wadi
#

yeah the console version isn't for me

#

no in PC its fine

quasi mantle
#

At least later on I have a chance to make a better cyberpunky RPG
I've been getting into stories of brainwashing lately, maybe that could work

pearl elk
#

draw distance is closer than keanus schlong

#

Ive got the best PC hardware and I cant use it

#

only way to kill the FPS is to turn on RT

fathom wadi
#

you probably can even do that with the best hardware and DLSS

pearl elk
#

Im just hoping that they will try again with Cyberpunk on UE5 after they give the Witcher a go

fathom wadi
#

I think there is a chance, but it's going to be another 10 years before they do

#

that will be UE6 by then πŸ˜„

pearl elk
#

Im willing to wait, it just sucks how memes can kill a franchise

quasi mantle

Story goes that a brain control experiment gone wrong in the 1980, then one scientist victim was put into some kind of cryosleep, to be awaken 60 years later.
The future world filled with social media, but all that scientist know, she doesn't belong there.

Im probably gonna be dead in 10 years anyway so I'm gonna just imagine CP2077 pt2 ex plus alpha edition

Also sci-fi authors, buut I'm not familiar with ones who put enough effort to describe the world.

deep copper

is "tech web" so common that nearly everyone here knows what it is?

pearl elk

I think Path of Exile had a skill web

cursive crypt

I did some work on similar project, but... nda 🀫

pearl elk

thats why aliens are humanoid with human like expression

mossy nexus
#

Otherwise you end up with David Duchovny

cursive crypt

What about cat girls?

Duchovny is famous for a few things like the X Files etc, but most of all is his expressionless face. So much so they mention it in the films. Proof of alien life here on Terra... πŸ˜„

what genre

pearl elk

A tree tends to be more like diablo with a fixed branching system where a web lets you traverse multiple branches and get to the same nodes in different order

zinc matrix

I liked the design of the skilltree in Frost Punk, it was the main tree, and if you selected one skill, it zooms in and had a nice animation of a paralaxing graphic with a inkdrop reveal, and the description ofcourse

oh mine's a 2007 :P

A few years ago I had to sell an old car that was costing me multiple thousands a month to repair. Was ridiculous.

Ah, good, makes me feel better. Mine is 2001, lol

mines a 2004

There are dudes younger than my car here.

It cost like 130 000 eur brand new in 2007 though lol

I could buy 3 of mine with that new lol

I got it for a fraction of that, depreciation is nice when it happens to other people's cars alex

Isn't there a shortage of cars right now?

cursive crypt

I think the depreciation is steep at the beginning mostly, lol

night grove
#

Meaning that would be affecting the price

pearl elk
#

I bought a parts car for $500, theres no shortage if youre willing to do the work

Also that price includes finland's ridiculous car tax

It was probably half that in germany brand new :P

so many cars get scrapped, you have to save cars if you want one

#

its cheaper for them to recycle and sell you new shiny

night grove
#

Car companies have been slow about switching to electric vehicles because they make more on combustion engines.

#

It isn't just the sticker cost of a new car, they take into account parts sales for repairs

#

Meaning they PLAN on stuff breaking in your car when they determine how much money they will make when selling the car new

pearl elk
#

most of whats in a new car is the eletronics even in a combustion engine car

Im quite happy without a touch screen running the length of my dash

it's not really open source, you obtain a license by agreeing to their usage terms which allows you access to the source

deep copper

that's the 10% ig

zinc matrix

so if you buy license you get access to source?

What is UE? πŸ€”

foggy path

you just have to agree to their terms, the license is free

zinc matrix

Oh shit lol

#

but github repo is private , right?

foggy path

yes, because of aforementioned licensing

you can access the repo once you have agreed to the terms and thus obtained a license, and linked your epic account with github

thats cool

it's just open source with extra steps

as long as it's comfortable, and won't break that's all I need really

It does have a few advantages over unreal at the moment though. For example, I can access the shadow map in the material and do some interesting material effects with only five lines of HLSL in Unity - zero post-processing. Unreal, as far as I'm aware, doesn't even allow you to touch the maps - at least not until post. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

want to tweak your shadows just slightly?

Shadow Pass Switch, besides sounding like a really cool game name, is a lesser-known node that allows you to deform/mask your mesh, but only for shadow
