Also, I would advise thinking twice about paid products in game development (even is that particular one is free). Spending 50$ to spare days of work is 100% a good idea.

tawny brook Jul 5, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

I get that

#

I'd still have to make an PHP API sitr

cloud cobalt Jul 5, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

What's your API for ?

tawny brook Jul 5, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

Authentication

#

So you make a user/pass login

#

And then you get sent a auth token

#

And that token verifies it's you and is saved on your client

#

So when you join the only server.. it verifies that authentication token

#

And then lets you in

glossy flame Jul 5, 2017, 3:22 PM

#

Not really sure how you planned to do this writing nothing custom

tawny brook Jul 5, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

Well, i just asked if it requires c++ coding

cloud cobalt Jul 5, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

What's the auth used for, @tawny brook ?

tawny brook Jul 5, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

Then you linked me this plugin

glossy flame Jul 5, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

It probably doesn't, but you still have to write the API

cloud cobalt Jul 5, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

And what platform do you target ?

#

Most platforms have a user system

tawny brook Jul 5, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

@cloud cobalt saving kills/deaths/etc

#

iOS/Android both

cloud cobalt Jul 5, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

Why do you want that to be on a server ? Curious

tawny brook Jul 5, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

?

cloud cobalt Jul 5, 2017, 3:25 PM

#

"Kill, deaths, etc" - why do you need a server for that ? Are you doing a ranking system ? Scoreboard ?

#

The reason i'm asking is, API implementation + server code + server costs + security work is not trivial, so that has to be an important feature

C++ seems way better for fine tweaking

Is UE4 good for a solo dev?

lean fog Jul 5, 2017, 3:52 PM

#

Actually I've used Unity, and have used C# for years. I do like C# but c++ is just generally powerful, and UE4 is honestly just superior which is why I came here.

#

I do, and I know plenty of others that do, it's not without its problems, but the same statement goes for unity.

lost ember Jul 5, 2017, 3:53 PM

I started learned UE4 a while ago but had to stop for a bit

Didn't go far, never touched blueprints only level design

#

One feature I do like is the ability to create shaders and materials using nodes

lean fog Jul 5, 2017, 4:00 PM

#

Yeah, you can build entire games without touching c++ or hlsl (not necessarily suggesting that, it depends on the project)

lost ember Jul 5, 2017, 4:01 PM

#

I wanna touch C++ anyway

#

I read yesterday that Blueprints are great but have a huge cost in performance

lean fog Jul 5, 2017, 4:04 PM

#

I honestly haven't done anying super heavy in them, so I'm not too familiar with their performance. I knew c++ coming into it, and doing alot of work in procedural content I just work almost exlusively in c++. I just use BP's for settings and things. I know there is now the whole nativization thing which converts it to c++ and compiles it into the game project but I'm sure it's still not as efficient. BP's without that are basically interpreted so they will be substantially slower.

C++ is gonna be weird after a year of C#

lean fog Jul 5, 2017, 4:13 PM

#

they're definitely different, they function fundamentally different, syntactically there's not too much difference, but there are obviously differences. The C# BCL/FCL vs C++ Standard Library are the biggest visible differences. Then there's UE4 which has basically its own base library, so it's even likely you won't need the C++ standard library for most things. Also UE4 has some garbage collection so that's kind of a question that's hard to answer quickly

Also tried opening the demo FPS project but it was complaining that I didn't have Windows 8.1 SDK installed

#

Do I really need it?

lean fog Jul 5, 2017, 4:14 PM

Yes, that doesn't mean having win 8.1, it just means having the sdk which you can get from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-8-1-sdk

lost ember Jul 5, 2017, 4:14 PM

Well yea fortunately ^^

glossy flame Jul 5, 2017, 4:14 PM

You shouldn't have to download it all manually, you just have to install the C++ tools alongisde VS

Yeah I never installed 8.1 SDK with my VS2017 install

I've never actually used that, I thought it only got the launcher, but I guess it might enable the other needed parts. I had VS installed before I started into UE4, and then when 2017 rolled around I had UE before I installed VS lol.

@pallid compass It depends on how often you need to update the widget.

If you need to update it on every frame, you need to use tick. If you don't, need to update it on every frame I recommend using event dispatchers.

I'm still new to a lot of conventional things, so is this acceptable in terms of project backup?

This is acceptable, right?

glossy flame Jul 5, 2017, 8:58 PM

Places like GitLab have free 10gb remote repos, no real setup there

I'll give you that setting up a Perforce server can be a PITA, but normal Git isn't that difficult

storm venture Jul 5, 2017, 8:59 PM

#

oh, I had assumed git was the same as perforce

#

I might look into that then

glossy flame Jul 5, 2017, 8:59 PM

#

Yeah, it keeps track of every change you've ever made and you can revert to a specific one, it's not like backing up an entire week :p

#

You can always self-host Git if GitLab doesn't give you the features you desire, but I think they're pretty solid

#

I don't use Git with UE4 just because it's just too slow for binaries, but it's not like it's unusable

#

And compared to a Drive backup, it's definitely better 😄

lmao, well as long as it keeps my project safe, i'm happy

glossy flame Jul 5, 2017, 9:01 PM

#

It's not like it only serves as a backup tool though, it's a full collaboration suite which is great

#

Even using it solo you'll get a ton of benefits from being able to branch for new features and things of that sort

(but that might not work great in BP since they're binaries)

I've had bandwidth issues with GitLab specifically in the past, so I just kinda shy away from it for anything besides a code repo

Could've been a routing issue or something dumb like that, but personally it was just crawling for me

#

in a multiplayer environment, is there some kind of common issue/fix for where players on a vertically moving platform appear to jitter up/down to all of the other players while the platform is moving?

#

to the player on the platform, everything is smooth as butter, only the other clients see it as a jittering player

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 1:02 AM

#

What do you use for movement?

kind pumice Jul 6, 2017, 1:03 AM

#

actually scratch that, the player on the moving platform's entire world jitters lmao

#

I've taken the shooter game project and simply added moving platforms, virtually everything else is default.

#

for movement I'm using move componant yp

#

to^

#

and the platform is a static mesh in a blueprint with replication enablede

#

enabled^

#

https://image.prntscr.com/image/HtRo2BbLQri4MrnYZzfWIA.png

#

its worth noting that the "platform" is massive, basically a FBX copy of the entire room from the shooter game project

#

also using complex collision as simple, just remembered that I had done that

plush yew Jul 6, 2017, 1:26 AM

#

anyone need a composer for their project?

kind pumice Jul 6, 2017, 1:37 AM

tried using a collsion box instead of the ground with the same result

so apparently moving platforms are hard lol

kind pumice Jul 6, 2017, 4:17 AM

#

wohoooo I figured it out. Using such a large complex mesh as a simple mesh must have been freaking out my characters. I created a new, much simpler room in Maya and imported it into my level and moved it using the same method I screenshotted above - works smooth as butter

#

the only difference I can find, is the simple collision mesh vs the larger room's super complex collision mesh being used as a simple mesh

coming from someone who knows nothing about object pooling that is lol

plush yew Jul 6, 2017, 6:43 AM

because it isn't perfect and like every kind of system has pros/cons

Comes down to if allocation/deallocation is your 'bottleneck'

that makes sense

doesn't it also kinda front load loading times?

worn granite Jul 6, 2017, 6:45 AM

#

It can

plush yew Jul 6, 2017, 6:45 AM

since you have to kinda generate all those objects before they are ready

#

or are the first ones generated first on an "as needed" basis?

worn granite Jul 6, 2017, 6:45 AM

You can easily do it differently

basically any number of ways you can implement a pool pattern

i think i wrote an object pooler thing in university

yeah makes sense

that would be another reason why epic didnt include it i guess

Hi!

kind pumice Jul 6, 2017, 7:24 AM

#

Hello

#

question - everything in the level BP runs on the server right?

#

I feel like it would have to

weary basalt Jul 6, 2017, 7:28 AM

#

Nope

#

The Level exists for all clients and the server, thus anything in the level blueprint will be called on all instances of it.

#

Unless you use HasAuthority to filter what you want to execute

kind pumice Jul 6, 2017, 7:29 AM

#

interesting, not what I was thinking at all lol. If you were making a multiplayer arena that consisted of a bunch of rooms that moved around, both vertiaclly and horizontally - would the level BP be the place to do it? and if so, should I be specifying the server to run it?

plush yew Jul 6, 2017, 7:29 AM

#

Please welcome @plush yew to the community! :beers:

kind pumice Jul 6, 2017, 7:30 AM

#

moving rooms without speicfying anything, from the level BP is working so far, albeit buggy when walking around in them while they move

plush yew Jul 6, 2017, 7:36 AM

#

would it be better to move actors instead of the room itself?

#

also i think there is a setting which helps the physics when standing on things

#

i know thats very vague i cant think of the right word to use

kind pumice Jul 6, 2017, 7:37 AM

#

my idea is a huge space cube battle arena, where players have to make their way to the center of the cube. the big cube is made of smaller compartment cubes that move around and the outer layers shed off periodically, pushing everyone toward the center cubes

#

I might be able to ditch moving the cubes around for now since its not critical for the prototype

#

was also thinking about disabling gravity while cubes/rooms move about, then enabling gavity once they all stop again - if it helps work around the bug

#

just write it into the "story" lol

telling them to move from the level BP though

instead of the whole actor

not sure if there's a difference

plush yew Jul 6, 2017, 8:35 AM

it will be the same

are they set to "replicate movement" /

you shouldnt need to notify the actor with multicast or anything

I thought it was

but its totally not set to replicate movement lol

plush yew Jul 6, 2017, 8:36 AM

set that, and make sure "replicates" is also set

then the server moving them should be handled over the network automatically

if you have a class like

you have to do theFinger->myFunc();

theFinger.myFunc(); doesnt work

because it's a pointer

and why is it a pointer in the UE code?

plush yew Jul 6, 2017, 8:54 AM

#

i think in c# you have a thing for passing variable by value or reference right?

#

if you pass an int[40] thats a ton of data

#

if you pass a Character variable, also a ton of data

#

but if you send a character* its the same as an int

i wonder what would happen if i was editing in-game an object (say it's color with a color picker bp) and i change map (to a map that this object isn't in)

#

would i still be able to edit it's color or sth?

#

if it was multiplayer.. would the player on the map with the object see live-update?

@wild kestrel i don't understand what you mean.. my question is "If i have the reference of an object but i am in a different map.. will the object's ref still be valid?"*

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 12:41 PM

Object is tied to the world, when world dies objects related o it also dies

full atlas Jul 6, 2017, 12:41 PM

alright thank you

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 12:42 PM

#

I mean actors

#

because objects are pernament

#

and not tied to world or level

frank escarp Jul 6, 2017, 12:42 PM

#

objects need to be linked to something

#

or they will get gc-d

#

ive used the Game Instance to create global objects like that

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 12:43 PM

they need to be refrenced somewhere ofcorse

what do you mean by objects?

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 12:44 PM

#

UObject that is not actor

#

there class Object

#

and it is not actor

#

thee class Actor tha is also object but it is most minimal class that can be placed on level

#

it has component system etc

#

and it assign to world

when oyu place it

raw OBjects can't be placed on level

where can i look the class viewer

#

omg i feel like such a newbie rn

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 12:49 PM

#

sry might said too in too much confusing way ^^'

#

you can find class viewer in window->Devlopment Tools

#

there turn off al filters to see all classes

#

and you will see inherence tree of all classes

full atlas Jul 6, 2017, 12:52 PM

#

so anything that isn't under the actor tab, can be valid in different maps?

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 12:52 PM

#

in the past this was default view on actor classes, but in UE4 this got replaced content browser. But because content browser show them as assets lot of people don't see them as classes but as assets

#

no

i dont even understand what all that stuff are

full atlas Jul 6, 2017, 12:53 PM

#

whats their use and all

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 12:53 PM

#

Actor class is most minimal class htat can be placed on level

#

any level

#

and all classes based from Actor can be placed on level, atleast (because ther exception like AInfo) assigned to the world as a part of the world

#

anything other then actor can't be placed on level

full atlas Jul 6, 2017, 12:55 PM

#

yeah there is a placeable only filter

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 12:55 PM

#

yes because there non-placable actors like GameMode

#

but GameMode atleast is assign to the world

#

and it dies with the world

#

that host it

but i still dont see what all these stuff are useful for

#

an example maybe?

#

if i cant place them, then what can i?

#

i dont know what they are etc

is not matter of useful ness i just explaining it

ahhh

#

they still part of the world

#

right?

full atlas Jul 6, 2017, 12:57 PM

#

world = map?

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 12:57 PM

#

the non-placable actor

#

world is a instance, and level is loaded to world

#

there class UWorld

#

instance of world

#

Blueprint automaticly deal with interaction with this class thats why you don't see it much

full atlas Jul 6, 2017, 12:59 PM

#

so they are not stuff for me to touch?

#

its like.. engine stuff?

wild kestrel Jul 6, 2017, 1:00 PM

#

if you would be in C++ you will be forced to interact with

simply for simplicity this is automatic in blueprint

but i something you can touch

but in C++

@full atlas @wild kestrel you can touch everything regarding to the engine but there is one thing to keep in mind: you can't include any editor code in your actual game, that's forbidden by the license

in practise, this limits you from using any editor code for fbx importing or landscape modifications at your own games runtime

I did it! You can mirror foliage by:

In foliage painter, copy foliage details from current level to new level
Select current level, select foliage instances in viewport and edit->copy
Select new level and edit->paste
Save and quit
Load new level, select foliage in viewport
Transform by Mirroring in X

#

bit of a faff when you have 10 streaming foliage levels, but it works

It's a general strategy. Your game should sell for $20 for you to make any profit, sell it originally for $60, gain profits from few people who want to pay it, put it on sale for $20, still make profit, and people think they're getting their money's worth.

frank escarp Jul 6, 2017, 6:03 PM

#

yup

#

really basic sales strategy

#

thats why Steam only lets you do X number of sales

so you dont abuse that system completely

for cases of abuse, check Udemy

it is "200$"

Its no surprise though, his experiences shape his opinions of employees and whats expected of them from an employers perspective.

Tell me all your secrets sion

But seriously my bping has gotten so much better just from yesterday!

livid haven Jul 6, 2017, 11:42 PM

#

👍 Glad to hear it

#

I mean, not so much that it's BP, because I hate BP, but your logic is better.

pallid compass Jul 6, 2017, 11:44 PM

#

Yeah so much 😂 going to keep checking the programming channel now incase u ever give any more talks to anyone else!

livid haven Jul 6, 2017, 11:46 PM

#

I lurk here and in GDL. I just help out between builds and such.

#

Or if I need a break from debugging input related bugs. X|

pallid compass Jul 6, 2017, 11:50 PM

#

Haha sounds like fun! honestly if u get ever bored i imagine u could write amazing articles for the wiki, even if its only small things

#

Good practice you know

livid haven Jul 6, 2017, 11:51 PM

#

Input bugs? Awww hell no.

#

Anything you do to actively try to debug it inherently involves input and thus affects what you're debugging. :/

#

Lots of trial and error, putting breakpoints with conditions, or actually invasively splicing in some code to only log/break when conditions are right.

pallid compass Jul 6, 2017, 11:53 PM

#

Dam i hope they pay you well for that 😂 engine diving sounds nasty

livid haven Jul 6, 2017, 11:55 PM

#

I'm happy with my compenstation. Be happier when I get back to not debugging difficult to reproduce/debug bugs though.

#

I've been meaning to actually write some articles and such for quite some time.

#

But I just never get around to it.

#

Relating to earlier link: It's pretty well established that when it comes to "brainy" work, employee satisfaction only increases up to a point by increasing compensation - beyond that, employees want to feel satisfied about their work, not their paycheck.

#

People will take pay cuts (within reason) to work a job that they actually find satisfying.

#

Not hard to understand. If you're comfortable with your current lifestyle, as far as what you can afford, then making more money won't fix that you're unsatisfied with what you spend nearly half (or more) of your waking hours doing - work.

I wish i could find reliable asset creators willing to work with me

#

but they're either busy with Source engine projects

#

or their own vr titles

#

being a level designer / "creative director" sucks

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:17 AM

#

Yeah understandable sion, i really enjoy this as a learning / work experiance i hope one day i can nab the employment i want ^^

#

Jacob why dont u just make your own assets? its what i do

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:18 AM

#

If i had any skill for it i would

#

I mean, i've made a flashlight and other small items in blender

#

but it takes forever and i can't texture

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:18 AM

#

Ahh

#

I guess im what you call a Generalist specialist?

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:19 AM

#

I work best when i have resources to pull from, like source games

#

if i wanna map for Portal 2

#

i can do that great

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:19 AM

#

I mainly do BP/games design/game development

#

But

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:19 AM

#

because assets exist

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:19 AM

#

I can model a ship, animate it, texture it, get it in to ue4 and rigged up properly within few hours

#

just practice

#

actually i need to make a landscape pack tomorrow, you have just reminded me 😂

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:21 AM

#

I also have this problem where to learn i need to have someone there to point me around and answer dumb questions

how do people rip UI graphics from games?

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:21 AM

#

What do u mean RIP? do u wann get sued 😂

fluid basin Jul 7, 2017, 12:21 AM

#

not gonna use them commercially

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:21 AM

#

ahh modeling is just practice man, but your right the examples out there for game ready assets is shit

#

U cant really rip UI graphics out of games

fluid basin Jul 7, 2017, 12:23 AM

#

maybe taking a screenshot a extract manually in image editor softwares

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:23 AM

#

maybe

fluid basin Jul 7, 2017, 12:23 AM

#

wanna rip wow ui

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:24 AM

#

ey jacob

#

heres question for ya

weary basalt Jul 7, 2017, 12:24 AM

#

Even ripping assets for personnel use is still illegal lol

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:24 AM

#

How would u go about designing a level that was way above normal scale

#

Say you fly a big ship or your godzilla

#

how would u say you capture the look

#

of BIG

#

with out being BIG

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:25 AM

#

Well, I'd design it in hammer, my tool of choice

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:25 AM

#

because obviously issues

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:25 AM

#

and then select it all and shrink it

#

I also make use of scaling beats

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:25 AM

#

If u do that

#

ur gonna have ton of issues

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:26 AM

Hammer is Source's mapping tool

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:26 AM

#

wait

#

why would u map it in hammer

#

and not in the engine

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:27 AM

#

because I have hammUEr

#

and it's much faster than in engine with no assets

#

it all ends up in a model anyways

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:27 AM

#

Seams like a massive waste of time to me

#

When u can map it in the engine

#

and just hot swap things

#

wth

📎 unknown.png

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:28 AM

#

honestly, Hammer is the best geometry editor

#

it's super ergonomic

#

may be 20 years old but still packs a punch

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:29 AM

#

Dont see how its gonna be better than ue4 its self

#

when u can just click and drag

#

and snap

#

and have 4 view ports

#

and can see the lighting at the same time

#

and scale, and animation

#

and particle layout

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:29 AM

#

I have all that in hammer

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:29 AM

#

and check ur quad overdraw

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:29 AM

#

sure, less advanced, but i have it

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:29 AM

#

and such

#

seams like pointless step imo

#

Slows pipline production down

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:29 AM

#

not really

#

it's arguable to be a modelling program

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:30 AM

#

I doubt hammer is gonna show you your ue4 lighting

#

and let u adjust your ue4 lighting

#

and alot of other things

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:30 AM

#

It's a geometry editor

i do the other stuff in unreal

#

have you ever used hammer?

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:31 AM

#

no but your not giving any reason i could justify adding another step in too pipline production

fluid basin Jul 7, 2017, 12:31 AM

You can rip textures from just about anything.

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:32 AM

#

4 viewports, plenty of options

#

and really fast geometry creation

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:32 AM

#

ue4 has 4 view ports

livid haven Jul 7, 2017, 12:32 AM

#

Either by decrypting the assets OR by pulling them from memory.

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:32 AM

thought it was a mapping tool

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:32 AM

#

BSP

#

it's based on geometry

#

source engine

#

I have a plugin that converts it to meshes

#

any input "vmf"

#

or valve map file

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:33 AM

#

can u show me one of the meshes in wireframe

fluid basin Jul 7, 2017, 12:33 AM

#

@livid haven how do you decrypt them

livid haven Jul 7, 2017, 12:34 AM

#

As for legality, ripping assets is generally against ~~NDA~~ EULA, but no one is going to give a dman if you don't release anything.

plush yew Jul 7, 2017, 12:34 AM

Please welcome @dapper patio to the community! :beers:

NDA? don't you mean EULA

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:34 AM

#

Im still struggling too see justifcation for using an extra step in production

livid haven Jul 7, 2017, 12:34 AM

#

By using software that can decrypt whatever particular encryption is used.

#

@tulip vault Yes, EULA, not NDA. Woops.

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:35 AM

http://i.imgur.com/UCK3cLc.png is the tool's wireframe mode

@pallid compass He just prefers that tool, that's it.

#

Nothing else to it.

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:35 AM

that's props and brushes

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:35 AM

Yeah i get you, im just trying to grasp my head around why u wouldnt work in the engine

fluid basin Jul 7, 2017, 12:35 AM

#

what do u mean by pulling them from memory lol

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:35 AM

#

To me from what i can see, its slow down step, i could do it all and more and see what its gonna look like better in the engine

fluid basin Jul 7, 2017, 12:36 AM

@livid haven

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:36 AM

Kreator your not going to be able to rip it from memory.

livid haven Jul 7, 2017, 12:36 AM

#

It is possible to do it.

tulip vault Jul 7, 2017, 12:36 AM

#

I suck within Unreal (i have nothing to work off of) but what i could make with the base geometry in unreal in an hour i can do in 5 minutes in hammer

livid haven Jul 7, 2017, 12:36 AM

#

Just not without knowing what the hell you're doing, which means having a tool for it.

pallid compass Jul 7, 2017, 12:36 AM

Yeah but hes not going to be able to do it hes new to UE4

livid haven Jul 7, 2017, 12:36 AM
