hey, anyone have experience w/ crashes happening after a huge spam of "Stalled gamethread waiting for particles" errors?

then it says Error: Runnable thread TaskGraphThreadNP 0 crashed. and crashes

we are passing a lot of params to particles every tick, and there are a lot of particles

[tender dome]

hi!, im getting "failed to launch editor" whenever i open my .uproject file

[feral echo]

@orchid sable I suppose some of you particles take a very long time to process

[orchid sable]

i noticed a little more:

Error: Assertion failed: IsInGameThread() || IsAsyncLoading() [File:D:\Build\++UE4+Release-4.16+Compile\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\Materials\MaterialInstance.cpp] [Line: 465]

which is this code:

{
    check(IsInGameThread() || IsAsyncLoading());
    if(ReentrantFlag)
    {
        return UMaterial::GetDefaultMaterial(MD_Surface);
    }

    FMICReentranceGuard    Guard(this);
    if(Parent)
    {
        return Parent->GetMaterial();
    }
    else
    {
        return UMaterial::GetDefaultMaterial(MD_Surface);
    }
}```

that line is: *check(IsInGameThread() || IsAsyncLoading());*

our whole game is based on blasting tons of particles of many sorts, which are passed lots of parameters each tick =X

someone had similar problems w/ that fail in dev builds, but said in shipping it didnt happen...trying to build shipping now and will test...but man, bout to go demo this at a huge event and gotta leave tomorrow =X

yea only happens in multiplayer too I think

Hello world

Well.. I tough such a big server was way more talkative 😂

[safe rose]

You would right 😉

[plush yew]

ye..

[safe rose]

Lots of underlying issues

😃

[plush yew]

lol

I'm acctualy fighting with UE4 launcher.. havn't used in a while and now that I come bak in buissness it breacks on me 😦

[safe rose]

But, if you need help with anything use the appropriate channel and be grateful/kind to any help you get.

[plush yew]

sure... thx

[safe rose]

Entitlement runs strong on this server.

[plush yew]

do you have any channel for UE itself realted issue? I can't see one

[safe rose]

this one

The names are a bit confusing now without the ue- prefix

[plush yew]

well let me get the crash logs 😄

[worn granite]

If you check #more-resources there's some explanation for the channels

not that they're complicated to understand

[plush yew]

sure thx @worn granite

So to anyone who knows about the UE4 editor itself:
I've been working on UE4 on my 2016 MacBook Air last year all fine and wanted to get it back running today, sadly I'm getting the editor to crah on launch. I tryed the troubbleshoot available on the UE4 forums but it dosn't change the problem.
Specs and crash logs to follow:

edit:
Also the editor and all related files are on an external HDD runing SymLink

Thanks for anyone who can help me on that 😄
Also feel free to PM me anytime.

Holy jesus Fortnite discord voice chat is off the rails lmao

[livid haven]

Can't win with you. 😛

P.S.: I did notify someone about the Discord link being dead

And someone should have reached out to you about your can't play/can't pre-order issue.

[polar hawk]

Aye, that stuff is fixed

I mean, the server is down

And the discord voice chat is going full nuts

Its been an unmoderated uncensored hell for 2 hours lmao

I personally don't mind it

[livid haven]

Womp womp womp...

[polar hawk]

I didn't think 40 people had so much to discuss about oj simpson

[worn merlin]

Has anyone used HackNPlan to manage their projects/tasks? If so, would you use that over Trello or is Trello still the way to go? Note: For a free task manager that is.

[weary basalt]

I use Trello only because i started using it long before HackNPlan

[worn merlin]

Yeah I usually use Trello but the layout and structure of HackNPlan seems better, was just wonder if anyone's used it, would you recommend over Trello?

[weary basalt]

I checked it out ages ago but never really managed an project with it. Im sure there is plenty of people here who have though.

[grim ore]

man I feel bad for the Fortnite team but they seem to be handling it well. The Twitterer is on the ball replying to everyone which is nice to see 😃

[weary basalt]

What happened?

[polar hawk]

Servers got wrecked

Also, woah, seeing many people's contracts at Epic not get renewed :o

At least on my facebook

[grim ore]

yeah they broke the servers but are doing a pretty good job of keeping people up to date on forums and twitter on what they are doing

and damned @polar hawk 😦 I've been hearing some stuff like that recently, sad to hear.

[weary basalt]

That's unfortunate on both fronts.

[safe rose]

@worn merlin hacknplan is awesome

But, tbh, you'll want to get studio, even if you're solo

It has the best stuff

personal plus, or whatever it's called is decent

But, the free version is fine

It's just hard to tell what your needs are

[worn merlin]

I'm using the free one atm to see how it goes.

[safe rose]

I would want to get Studio for all the Project Management stuff

Well, Agile/Scrum

@polar hawk Many people failed at their jobs? Or Epic don't have the $$ ?

[worn merlin]

Seems pretty sick though, can get lots of info in it with the cards still looking neat

[safe rose]

Which is crazy, seeing how they have their games up

[worn merlin]

• Filters

[polar hawk]

Don't know, just contracts have ended without being renewed

[safe rose]

And they seem to be making enough $$$

Strange

[floral heart]

Maybe fortnite entering a different phase of dev.

[livid haven]

Entering a different phase of dev is kind obligatory. It's live now and on a different scale than just PC closed alpha/beta testing.

I mean, generally speaking, you need all hands on deck to ramp up to release and even if you've got a growing, living product after that, I can't imagine possibly keeping all that manpower.

[floral heart]

Not every game is Star Citizen. Probably not even Star Citizen.

[livid haven]

?

I mean, SC has a huge employee base, but it's got years of development ahead of it still.

You can expect that employee base to shrink some time after the big "1.0"

CIG is a one game studio, I don't imagine them pivoting all those employees on to another project.

[floral heart]

I figured they could move staff from module to module, if they're still going with that model.

[livid haven]

They've got Squadron 42 as the single player campaign, which has more chapters in store after the first launches, and the "MMO" part that's actually called Star Citizen.

The module thing is kind of done. The PU (Persistent Universe) is what melds the old "Hangar" module, "Dog Fighting Module", and "Star Marine" FPS module together in to one mode..

Once the whole thing goes live, CIG is going to need to find a way to keep those people employed or cut them loose, because they can't manage to keep full throttle development pacing post-release.

That's why you launch multiple games in a staggered fashion, whether they're the same franchise or not.

You can keep the talent you've acquired by having multiple buns in the oven.

Sounds interesting

[next badger]

@polar hawk wait, Epic's contracts not getting renewed?

[floral pagoda]

@next badger - It could be that they are done with fortnite but we do not know.

[next badger]

@floral pagoda oh, ok...

[floral pagoda]

thus they do not need that much man power

[next badger]

it's just...i have noticed some degradation on GH, Answers, MP...

[floral pagoda]

yeah same

[wary wave]

end of project often comes with a load of contractors getting the boot

would have hoped Epic were large enough and had enough internal projects to just move people around though

[safe rose]

TBH, if they can gear some of this money into more official support not contractors for games, then this might be the best for us devs.

I would definitely like to see a focus on PRs

Which means more engineers

[wary wave]

I wouldn't count on that being the case

contractors for finishing are paid for by the imminent release of the game and the game's budget

(so when the game is done, you don't suddenly have cash spare)

[safe rose]

@wary wave no, but you do with the revenue from the game's release

[wary wave]

potentially, but that's months away

[safe rose]

Unless Epic is planning another game... which who knows... There should be quite a bit in their pockets

[wary wave]

first you need to consolidate any incurred debts, maintain enough to keep the game running etc

[safe rose]

Fortnite was making money in alpha

Quite a lot of it from what I heard

Typical f2p whale stuff I suppose

If I were a betting man, I would say Fortnite is probably their top money maker from all their games

And will continue to be so.

[wary wave]

it's got 6+ years of development costs to recoup though

[safe rose]

I doubt Paragon will be kicking in a year or two

UT...will still be in alpha

Or beta

[languid shard]

what do you guys think of that new kickstarter zombie open world btw ?

[cloud cobalt]

I doubt UT will be doing any kind of money

[safe rose]

@languid shard KS Zombie?

UE4 game?

[languid shard]

yeah hang a sec

y

[wary wave]

haven't even looked at that Kickstarter, doubt I will, lol

[safe rose]

@cloud cobalt you never know, but yeah, doubtful

[wary wave]

last thing I care about is another open world zombie game

[safe rose]

@wary wave but they are still popular man

If you want some money....make a damn zombie game

[wary wave]

so is not vaccinating your children :p

[languid shard]

we're still waiting for our Real DayZ

[wary wave]

I dunno, I never got the obsession with zombies

[safe rose]

My kid loves them

He's barely 7

[languid shard]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/qisoftware/dead-matter?ref=category

there it is

[safe rose]

I know lots of other peeps

Ah yeah

That one

[languid shard]

its already kickstarted

[safe rose]

Yeah.

Because zombies

[languid shard]

but what they do promise sounds interesting

[wary wave]

I'll wait for it to come out and have phenomenal reviews before I bother wasting time looking at it

[safe rose]

I asked them if they had any marketing or community BEFORE KS...

[languid shard]

and we know what is doable in UE4 and what isnot

[safe rose]

They said none...

I am not sure if I believe them

Or if the Zombie love is that strong

[languid shard]

I'm all for PvE coop survival games

PvP not so much

• they have modding tools

so basically if the game design is done right, infinite play time !

[cloud cobalt]

"Open world zombie kickstarter" sounds so much like 2014 though

All of it

[languid shard]

yeah indeed

none really succeded though

[wary wave]

plenty took a lot of money though

then never delivered

[languid shard]

yup

[safe rose]

I am just wondering how word got out

[wary wave]

and yet, here we are, and people still put money into them

[safe rose]

If they did no marketing

[wary wave]

It's the very definition of insanity

consistently doing the same thing and expecting a different result

[languid shard]

https://giphy.com/gifs/i-want-to-believe-Yb7o0xqhZxaxO @wary wave

[wary wave]

$120k isn't going to go far

especially since they're switching engines and 90% of their assets appear to be from Crysis...

[cloud cobalt]

Rule of thumb is, 99% of game projects are bullshit

Some of them ambitious, well-advertised bullshit

[languid shard]

wait, their screencaps aren't from CE aren't they ?

[wary wave]

their screencaps are from CE

[floral pagoda]

No they are from UE

[languid shard]

🤔

[wary wave]

if not, they're using CE assets

[floral pagoda]

CE looks different

[languid shard]

isn't that breaking TOS then ?

[floral pagoda]

I dunno

[wary wave]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[languid shard]

whatevs if they are using CE assets tbh

[floral pagoda]

Are we talking about the dead matter project?

[languid shard]

Guess its time to wait until the KS is almost over and see how they handle their campaign

ye

[floral pagoda]

ok so - From my understanding is that. They have allof of custom assets from the free SDK days of Cryengine. I could be wrong but yeah.

I used to follow the project on the CE forums

[languid shard]

Yeah there was a very cheap humble bundle with CE asset packs

[floral pagoda]

This was before that

[languid shard]

oh ?

[floral pagoda]

yep

[wary wave]

we're talking Crysis 2 assets bundled with the SDK

I probably wouldn't recognise newer stuff

[floral pagoda]

I know that they had some Crysis 2 assets in their mod. But I do not think that they would include them due to legal reasons

could be wrong

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wary wave]

anyway, shut up and give me $120,000 for my open world zombie shooter*

*may or may not contain zombies.

[floral pagoda]

Pretty much

😛

[wary wave]

lol

[languid shard]

is still believing the perfect coop ze game will be released... one day :(

[wary wave]

I always liked BL2 as a coop game

could have been more open world, but heck, that's 360 / Ps3 limitations for you

[languid shard]

BL2 as in borderlands ?

[wary wave]

yeah

[languid shard]

that's not the same :/

I love the border series, but this ain't survival

[wary wave]

you didn't specify survival xD

[languid shard]

true

But that's what I intended :p

[paper kernel]

Kinda amazed how well the editor is optimized nowdays

I remember when I started I had the massive GTX680 SLI rig that was slow-cooking me while the editor was open

now, I can run it for almost 5 hours on 65WH battery

-> uses less resources than watching 1080p video

[languid shard]

what kind of project are you working on to get that low performance consumption @paper kernel ?

mine's always eating half my ram and most of my CPU

[paper kernel]

I have an empty testing map running tho and realtime is disabled on viewport

and most assets are loaded during runtime

[languid shard]

aah that's why

[paper kernel]

to be fair, using empty maps for building is probably the best favor you can do to yourself

[languid shard]

but then how would you go loading folders and folders of stuff at runtime ?

[midnight mantle]

hmmmm...should I buy rocks from the MP

🤔

[languid shard]

are these good rocks ? will they be useful in your project ?

[pallid compass]

I get that

[versed rain]

is it safe to google?

[pallid compass]

But im not sure what your asking

Are you asking if there are people who teach ue4 on twitch?

[versed rain]

or simply stream

[wary wave]

it means a bird-watcher

[pallid compass]

People who stream development?

[versed rain]

something i can "watch" while working on my fulltime eheh

[wary wave]

alternatively someone who spasms, but never heard of it used like that

[versed rain]

@pallid compass there are actually some... i know it is kind of weird but...

[pallid compass]

Right gotcha, had to reask what you ment as iv never heard anyone ask that

Yeah there are a few devs

Honestly the live epic streams are prob the best

[half mango]

is there a help channel>?

[versed rain]

hm

[half mango]

or one used for that

[pallid compass]

However id be careful who you learn off, good to avoid bad practices

There all help channels.

[half mango]

oh

[pallid compass]

Except obvious ones.

like loungue

[versed rain]

well yes... i'm a seasoned dev but in the world of games i'm kind of a noob soo... to learn good practices is always good!

i'll check the epic channel

[pallid compass]

There is a weeky live stream and its amazing for learning

[half mango]

i've only just downloaded UE, so very new

and started blender only a few days ago, any others use blender?

[pallid compass]

Few people use blender but, this discord is heavily focused on development in the engine, not things like blender

[versed rain]

i've worked with some 3d software in the past. tried blender (like 3-5 years ago) kind of weird i don't know how it is now

[pallid compass]

However, there is support here for shipping from blender to ue4 i think

[half mango]

ok

interior scenes are possible to draw straight into UE?

[pallid compass]

meaning people cant tell you how to do X in blender, but can tell you what is needed to push it from blender to ue4

Not sur what you mean by that

[versed rain]

it depends on what do you mean by interior scenes

[pallid compass]

sure*

[versed rain]

if only walls yes

[half mango]

yeah i plan to draw in blender, but render in UE

[versed rain]

if you want to do some modelling i guess not

[pallid compass]

You mean model in blender?

[half mango]

there is another blender discord, so it's ok

yeah sry

[pallid compass]

Gotcha

Yeah you produce 3d assets in blender then ship to ue4

[half mango]

great, do the matierals go over there too? or do you recommend doing the material stuff in UE

[versed rain]

from what i understand, unreal engine as a 3d software should be treated as some kind of level editor (correct me if wrong please)

from my 3d experience, material stuff should be done in UE because of conversions (i dont even know if you can import 3rd party materials)

i understand so little about UE 😦

eheh

[half mango]

okay

interesting

[pallid compass]

UE4 is a game engine

[half mango]

i did 4 years in interior design, and the renders were rubbish

[pallid compass]

Materials and textures are two different things

[half mango]

because i had to do 6-7 kitchens per week

[pallid compass]

Make sure you dont mix them up

[half mango]

material is just a color?

[pallid compass]

Depends what you mean by that

A vector 3 node inside a material is just a plain colour.

Materials are shaders that process visual information(correct me if im wrong someone)
and textures are well, texture files

[half mango]

i see

[pallid compass]

If you want flat colours and such you can do it in ue4

Just using Materials

Just so you dont mix up textures & materials as i had the same mixup when i first came to ue4

Example would be, say i have an object a sink

The sink has a base colour texture, a Normal texture and a ambient occlusion texture

These 3 textures would go inside a material

the material would basically combind them

then when the material is applied too the mesh

all 3 are textures are added too it

[half mango]

sounds complex

hehe

when doing kitchens i would do 70% of it in sketchup, then some more complex things in 3ds max

and render from sketchup, only using a basic texture

only thing i could add to it really was a gloss or bit of roughness

only advantage was the renders were really quick

so i guess i got heck of a lot to learn

[vapid spruce]

how can i recompile a plugin?

[versed rain]

@half mango that is basically 3d software knowledge. materials work that way on most of those softwares so... at least there are a lot of information about that 😄

[red hollow]

I tried to learn blender, but I found the interface terrible.

I am much happier, if much poorer, using Cinema 4D

[half mango]

i was really having a hard time on blender in the firist two days but now things start to happen

[red hollow]

I picked that over something from Auto desk because I hate subscription software.

[half mango]

same

i used 3ds, not worth it

[red hollow]

I just love being able to model from splines.

[pallid compass]

Should take look at Maya LT

[versed rain]

blender is weird compared with other 3d software. Maya is still the standard all arounder but kind of expensive. I like Modo. Pretty cool to model.

easy to pick up and easy to work with. no extra stuff without a need.

From what i understand blender now has some plugins that set it like Maya and others... I need to give that a try

[cloud cobalt]

Blender is hard to pick up, extremely powerful after that

[wet berry]

I have a question, hopefully someone can help: I have a skinned and weighted skeletal mesh that I need to change the material UVs for, is there a way to do so without breaking the weighting?

[wary wave]

to my knowledge, no, but I may be wrong

[pallid compass]

Can someone explain to me for vector particle param's the difference between
Min input
Max Input
Min Output
Max Output

[cloud cobalt]

Min-max input defines what values you feed it from code / BP

Then the particle system scales that to match min-max output

[pallid compass]

ahh okay thank you

[cloud cobalt]

Basically if you have a speed parameter that goes from -100 to 100 in the particle system, you can put that as output, and use 0-1 as input

Passing 0 from BP would map to -100, passing 1 to 100

[pallid compass]

gotcha that makes sense ;o

thank you!

gotcha!

tyvm

oh god with out a curve using param i dont get no random veriaton 😮

[cloud cobalt]

You can combine modules to have param + random

[pallid compass]

Oh?

[cloud cobalt]

Like, initial location + initial location (seed)

You can also just feed random into the parameter value, like passing Param * FMath::Rand() instead of just Param

[pallid compass]

oh wow that seed thing is really really nic!

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

[tame stag]

So i have my main menu level as default. The menu works fine. If i click quit the game quits, and at play the game-level is loading and i can play. At game over i have a button too where i can switch back to the main menu. It loads the menu but the buttons like Play and quit dont work anymore, its like its not reacting to the click

[storm barn]

hello dead

[plush yew]

hello

[tame stag]

But it reacts to the mouse cursor like change color at cursorover^^

[storm barn]

do you know how to use the subtracters for opening wall?

[grim ore]

set a debug point at the button click and follow it thru to see what is happening, F9 on the node that you are using for your "Play" button

if its reacting to the mouse over then it should not be a hit collider issue, it sounds like the code is running but not doing what you want. Also how are you going "back" to the main menu from in game? I am assuming just a simple load level

[tame stag]

yes

just open level

[grim ore]

yeah then it should work assuming the hit events are working and you have nothing else stuck (I would assume it should work). Should put up the break point and walk thru it step by step to see if its calling what it should then.

[tame stag]

ok, ill try to figure it out with the break point

[plush yew]

Please welcome @sturdy matrix to the community! :beers:

[grim ore]

if you want to screenshot it I can look as well but to be honest breakpoint and step would be the best way to watch the state and see what is happening. Maybe its relying on some other code your getting somewhere else or something

[humble rivet]

How do I change the LoD on my map so people don't see the white background when looking from afar (as the LOD blurs my mountains out I guess ?)
http://imgur.com/a/nBRTI this.. I have a RTS camera set up but due to the angle you can see the other side of the map past the mountains
which I want to prevent from happening (that's why there are mountains, else I would've chosen structures.. But I am limited in the polycount thus I chose to use the landscape as cover.

[sterile cairn]

You'd have to find a way to bound the camera so that they can only go so far.

[sullen bone]

@safe rose So I kinda want a preperation fase like rainbowsix, bit instead of a house just a small room with a single door that opens for the attackers when the prep fase for the defenders ended

But, you want a whole game mechanic completed for you step by step it sounds like

[terse zealot]

@floral pagoda neat, thanks for the metrics

[floral pagoda]

Welcome @terse zealot

[pallid compass]

stuff that nativ can handle well

[floral pagoda]

Just dont do stuff with Event tick and you should be good

Avoid it where possible TBH

[pallid compass]

depends what u do tbh

[frank escarp]

or like calculate all primes below 10k

[pallid compass]

its always ticking anyway :p

[terse zealot]

@floral pagoda yeah, coming from Unity, I assume to always avoid Update in Unity, EventTick in UE 😃

unless it makes sense, but rarely does it

[floral pagoda]

Update is basically the same thing as tick

runs every frame

[terse zealot]

yep

[pallid compass]

yeah but dont forget as well

some things always tick

like UMG's have to tick too function

dont always avoid on tick

i use too do that alot, then had it slapped out of me by some of the seniors on here

[floral pagoda]

Ah fair point

[paper kernel]

using tick makes it too easy

[pallid compass]

You mean binding events and dispatchers makes things too easy

[frank escarp]

btw, if you dont use tick

disable it

even if you are doing nothing on the event tick, the engine will still call Tick() on that actor

so make sure to disable it

[pallid compass]

unless its UMG, like i made that mistake and couldnt figure out for 2 hours why my umg's where broken

if UMG does not tick it does nothing

[paper kernel]

speaking of UMG, what is pre-construct event?

[pallid compass]

mfw inkscape has no discord 😮

[grim ore]

I think you can disable tick in widgets cant you?

[pallid compass]

yeah then your widgets stop working

[grim ore]

if its a widget thats static then that should not be a problem?

[pallid compass]

as long as u dont need to do anything at all yeah

and i mean anythinh

[glacial pollen]

is there an overview anywhere of how to use instanced static meshes, and how they work? Assuming i'm familiar with normal static meshes

[brisk osprey]

My unreal crashes everytime i try to render a sequence any1 had this issue ?

or solution (without me downloading 12gb for debug stuff)

[pallid compass]

debug symbols are god tier get them

[wary wave]

you'll get anywhere between a 20-30x performance boost from the same code in c++ compared to blueprint

so those numbers look pretty reasonable, I think

oh mighty @blissful reef Thank you for the HUD advise last time, its put me on the right track too learn

Do you have any advice about floating combat text?

no more shall i sin with 3d UMG's

[blissful reef]

numbers?

[pallid compass]

Yeah

Floating combat numers basically.

[blissful reef]

Meshes in the world, using a number atlas

[pallid compass]

what omg

You mean spawn meshes aligned u[

up for numbers

Thats insane

I like it

[blissful reef]

Well, i woudln't spawn them, i'd spawn a few components and use them as a pool, spawning actors/components constantly would be expensive

[pallid compass]

Oh?

Can you exapnd on that as if im a 12 year old.

[blissful reef]

Like just spawn 20, hide 20, and only show 20 Max, and reuse them as you need them hiding them (returning them to the pool) when not shown

much much much faster than spawning and discarding actors

e.g. take a look at some fortnite videos, those numbers when you hit husks are meshes

[pallid compass]

Jesus thats insane

so your holding in your pool like what

0 x2, 1 x2, 2x2, 3x2 etc?

[blissful reef]

In paragon, I believe the numbers are canvas drawn quads doing basically the same trick, except they're just a material, with a texture atlas for the numbers

[pallid compass]

Just trying to wrap my head around this, totally new concept

OH

OH FUCK

i get u

omfg

Plain meshes with changing material right?

[worn granite]

What I'm surprised by is that they'd be separate actors at all

[blissful reef]

right

[worn granite]

Why not instanced meshes?

[pallid compass]

So you have all your numbers on 1 UV

and u just shift the uv position or something?

[blissful reef]

instancing is also doable

was trying to keep it easy

[worn granite]

Ah, right

its not that much of a leap though, and it sort of makes sense because you're already pooling

[blissful reef]

Step 1) just draw the text with canvas, ignore the high efficency stuff

get it working first

[worn granite]

You're probably a much better teacher though

[pallid compass]

-taking notes

[blissful reef]

Meh, i could be a shit teacher, not my profession 😃

[worn granite]

get it working first This should be hung on walls everywhere IMO

[pallid compass]

omg

I have another really weird question actually

[blissful reef]

42

[pallid compass]

Do you have or know of any HUD example work, thats do professionally that i could look at?
I am trying to wrap my head around the correct use of borders, layouts and getting scaling correct

I have been messing around with borders and proced generating Inventorys & stuff today

But my main tiff is when it comes too actually getting up things like borders, backgrounds etc

There is not that much on the wiki tbh, except the good practice piece is pretty nice

Not good practices, i mean UMG best practices article*

[blissful reef]

I don't, lots of just bits and pieces scattered across the net

a lot of it on this one japanese blog

[pallid compass]

Like today, i fought so much with just masking off the corners of a border so they where round 😂

[blissful reef]

and you discovered 9 slicing?

[worn granite]

You know, I'd seen the little thing about that on the wiki and it just didn't ever click for me until recently.

[pallid compass]

THE PAIN

Oh know i have not

[worn granite]

See how it distorts your curve though?

[pallid compass]

I tried the border widget, and ended up having hell with it

Yeah

[worn granite]

You make an image, square, right

[pallid compass]

Keeping images at 1:1 ratio is pain in the ass too

Searching for 9 slicing on the wiki now

wtf ;o

[worn granite]

And then you figure out your corners

[pallid compass]

thats so nice

[pallid compass]

oh?

[worn granite]

Now grab the length of the side

And there's a place to specify it in the image, border, (really, the brush)

[pallid compass]

OH 😮

[worn granite]

And it grabs that bit

The docs are much better

[pallid compass]

Your using border widget right?

[plush yew]

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

[worn granite]

But you author the content at a know resolution and then it can tile/stretch w/e

Any brush

[pallid compass]

Right gotcha

question then

What if i wanted too

fill the background on that icon

only.

[worn granite]

My explanation is partially just so that if Nick corrects me I know I was wrong in my understanding lol

[pallid compass]

i stoped using brushes because i couldnt fill the icon backgrounds properly, but maybe i was being idiot

[worn granite]

Ahhhm

Like a solid color?

Or you need something not to stretch

[pallid compass]

yeah i guess

just background in general

without it clipping outside the border

[worn granite]

Solid color would be easy

You can fill the inside of your texture and still do the slicing thing

[pallid compass]

wont it pop out the sides though

where the curve is

with that gap

[worn granite]

nope

[pallid compass]

oh 😮

[blissful reef]

fyi, you can access the 9slice data, using GetUI...something in the material

there's a function that gives you the information we pack in the vertex buffer for what UV spans should be locked for the corners and such

so you can use it in a material

[plush yew]

Please welcome @clear skiff to the community! :beers:

[blissful reef]

afk

[worn granite]

So when you specify your uh margin (I think>) on the brush, you're telling it where to position the blue bars

I'm cutting them off near the corner, they actually go all the way

looks like tic tac toe

[pallid compass]

reading sorry internet d/c'd

[worn granite]

So actually at no point should you ever have a problem with it going outside the border

[pallid compass]

How do i get UI? also can u change the back background of material editor viewport

ohh 😮

ima try it

well thats not right lmao

Okay i think i broke my engine

depending on how far in a zoom

it changes size

[worn granite]

what are your settings for your image?

[pallid compass]

just been kinda randomly dragging the settings about lmao

.25 left top right bottom

seams to give me a boarder

border*

[worn granite]

Its UV space

You can get the UV coordinate by seeing how wide it is in pixels and doing BorderWidth / ImageWidth

[pallid compass]

Trying to figure out how the margins work

found this

[bronze lava]

^^ that is about right

[worn granite]

So .25 would be 64 pixels on a 256 x 256

So you see the blue lines?

[pallid compass]

There the margin right?

[worn granite]

The side it's closest to and parralel with

That's the cooresponding margin value

And the green arrows are directly related to the margin value

Whereas the orange arrows aren't - they represent the size of the image - the margin

(at each end)

[bronze lava]

https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/nine-patches.html#&sourceDensity=320&name=example

[pallid compass]

i went through every single value

and when i hi 0.08

hit*

it stops fixing

but there is still some sort of artifact

[bronze lava]

go through this presentation so you understand how it works it is general concept... https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17FEOZPub7-rsGlWrEFjhBk1pF_3Ywz0mMmhIewkJi_Y/present?slide=id.i0

[pallid compass]

1:41 in the morning here

im really gonna have to crash

I hold shift. looking at the color view mode. I just see white. if it was working I would assume it would paint black where 2nd material is.

[fluid tide]

Argh

[tawny brook]

That's why there's three

😄

I'll show u in like 5mins what i mean

[fluid tide]

I thought that each char has a diffrent ammount of points. Since in your screenshot there's 3 exact same values I thought that It shows one Characters pts 3 times lol

[tawny brook]

Ahh no

ForEachLoop

So it uses each char's input

thats why i had Player ref

[fluid tide]

ik

It still may have the diffrent values

😄

[tawny brook]

i want diff values...

Think of it as money for player 1.. player 2... player 3

Each person will have diff amounts of money

Interesting

If i have 2 players... i see one text count

If i have 3 players... i see 3 😛

But if i have 3... and i update one chars text count.. 2 of them update 🤔

[weary basalt]

Sounds like something is bamboozaled

[tawny brook]

indeed

Ok something is indeed messed up 😛

Player 0 changes top two variables....
Player 1 can change player 0/2 bottom variables

player 2 changes top two aswell as player 0

Anyone ever wonder if a "free game version" that was not supported by ads but by cryptocurrency mining (1 or 2 cores for instance, low priority threads, not interfering with performance of the game) would fly with gamers? With option to buy the version of the game that doesn't do that.

[tawny brook]

wait what

so a free version..

crypto mines for the author

[lavish glacier]

yes

[tawny brook]

and they pay to remove it

uhm

I wouldn't play it 😛

[lavish glacier]

yes

i just see all these freemium games

and it would be kind of a nice organic way to support the dev

[tawny brook]

you probably wouldn't make a lot

unless a ton of people downloaded it

[lavish glacier]

those are the ones i am looking at

800k players, with 5k paid versions sold

those kind of spreads

for instance i never paid for paths of exile

yet spent days playing it

weeks

same with dota2

@fluid tide

Not exactly how I planned...

[cursive dirge]

these virtual currencies and their mining will eventually destroy this planet for most stupid reason ever :p

[tawny brook]

lol

[cursive dirge]

I'm not green person but I've always thought it's absurd to waste resources like that
