Without ue4 the industry would suffer, and students would suffer massively.
#ue4-general
pallid compass
frank escarp
people complaining about how they have it.. i dunno but if my sales had spiked i would be paying ue4 royalties
regal mulch
Why students if I may ask
frank escarp
obligatory back in mah day
regal mulch
More places in Germany teach Unity
frank escarp
unity is the common
frank hound
@grim sinew but it can
frank escarp
like in the mayority of the places
plush yew
ye i think unity is common for students tbh
regal mulch
As that exists longer and the Schools don't retutor their teachers for UE4 now
frank escarp
ue4 is usually too hard for this schools
pallid compass
everyone i know in the uk has studied ue4
frank escarp
thats why i did some ue4 classes myself in my university
pallid compass
wait ue4 is too hard?
regal mulch
Then you have a lot of schools that actually invested into that
frank escarp
becouse the classes there were on unity
pallid compass
unity is wayy harder imo
grim sinew
@frank escarp Yeah. It sucked. And look at what Epic's been doing. They've hidden all their development off the master branch, so who knows anymore if we really -do- have the same engine as the AAA guys anymore, and it makes it a lot harder to keep track of updates. They've been leaving anyone not using the engine for VR out to dry for 2 years because that's just not the priority right now even though that's most of their indie user base. Unity is PROOF you can make a business off of supporting indie devs, but even when Epic started to move towards that with making the engine free, they dropped the whole idea by now.
pallid compass
if i remember correctly we had a big talk amonth ago about unity and people where saying it does not work out the box and its basically a premium engine
frank hound
unity is cheaper thats reason enough for studios to use it
I think every pretty much every engine has its benefits
grim sinew
And Epic's ego is getting to them a tad too, ignoring massive threads on the forums about BASIC FEATURE problems like we have with shadows
regal mulch
Unity just exists longer. It was for free before Epic released the subscription model
pallid compass
"Free to use, Unreal Engine 4 can be downloaded and installed to classroom computers as well as personal systems at no cost."
if u didnt know
grim sinew
They flat out don't care or just don't have the resources to fix basic engine features.
pallid compass
ue4 does not cost anything for schools
regal mulch
Dude, the teachers are all skilled in Unity
pallid compass
unless im missing something
livid haven
pallid compass
no idea, all tutors know ue4 over here
grim sinew
Not all teachers use Unity, a few schools in the US use Unreal.
livid haven
Initial parse of large solutions, especially those that include Unreal Engine 4 (UE4), requires less time. Initial parse times for UE4 have dropped by up to 75%.
pallid compass
well im only talking about the uk, because i dont know anywhere else
frank hound
oh do schools have to pay to use Unity? didnt know that
regal mulch
Not if they use the free version
pallid compass
isent unity basically a premium engine?
plush yew
it bscly is
pallid compass
i mean
plush yew
xD
regal mulch
Pretty sure new schools would get UE4 instead of Unity
But the ones that are teaching unity since forever might never change
at least not here in Germany
pallid compass
our college is stupid af
frank hound
there are more studios using unity so schools have a good reason to use it
pallid compass
They just bought a ton of zbrush licences for environmental design games and no quixel licences.
and they bought alien ware pc's like the fuq
grim sinew
But yeah, @frank escarp . I'm just going to say it, after seeing how Epic's treating its indie community lately outside of VR, I've been considering shifting projects towards CryENGINE instead, at least to see what it's like and look at alternatives. A game engine's a tool, not a religion, I'm going to use the one that best fits my project and change any time it benefits me to do so.
pallid compass
really o_o i think epic treats us amazing
plush yew
lol @pallid compass alienware pcs for a school xD
pallid compass
Yeah my college is back to front they dont know what there doing
frank hound
hmmm but now thinking about teaching C++ and lower level stuff is kinda important and UE4 could help with that
grim sinew
You don't need quixel licences, nobody really uses it anymore
pallid compass
I think blueprint is amazing for teaching people who have 0 concept of programming
grim sinew
And my college is in the same building as the zbrush dev studio 😛
pallid compass
Quixel is amazing
grim sinew
Quixel is worthless. Too slow and hard to customize compared to substance.
foggy raft
Yo, so I just graduated a games college, and I'm helping out working at one until I can find industry work. The reason why a lot of schools use Unity is so we can teach scripting that involves syntax, teaching C# is super easy compared to C++. Also the school didn't want to teach UDK, and UE4 was paid, while Unity was free, so... no brainer there.
grim sinew
Compared to substance designer/painter? Yeah, very.
grim sinew
i7-5930k I think on most lab machines, the newer computers probably have faster though
Titan XP for the GPU
64gb ram
pallid compass
hmm, iv got i7-6800k 6core @ 4.3 ghz and titan xp
no idea why ur quixel is slow
actually wait
baking curv is slow in quixel
imo
grim sinew
Waiting 3 minutes for a smart material to apply is beyond stupid
grim sinew
And unless you NEVER need to make a material outside of the presets, adding more is annoying to Quixel
frank hound
maybe the lab need to upade some drivers? :p
pallid compass
do u think? takes 2 clicks haha
grim sinew
Drivers are up to date?
grim sinew
If it was really this great, why do you think no AAA studios use Quixel outside of megascans?
pallid compass
no idea., works for me, cheap & great results and fast pipline
frank hound
but they do use
pallid compass
wait didnt epic use quixel for some ut4?
grim sinew
No, they all use substance. Photoshop is even barely used for texturing anymore
Editing images straight on, sure. But not for a whole texturing workflow
pallid compass
im pretty sure
grim sinew
I wasn't talking to you 😛
pallid compass
they made a whole map using just quixel, theres a video on it isent there?
grim sinew
The deus ex environment on the learn tab Quixel made and gave to Epic
plush yew
Please welcome @plush yew to the community! :beers:
grim sinew
Epic used Quixel for the first UT4 map and substance for the rest
grim sinew
Yep. Pretty cheap.
pallid compass
im thinking thats expensive
grim sinew
Grab it on a steam sale, 50% off
frank hound
a lot of artists use Quixel, I know this for a fact, and many studios use substance painter to just to manage things (get files from multiple sources)
of course a lot of artists also use substance, but quixel is used at every studio
grim sinew
Licence can transfer to the normal allegorhmic account
pallid compass
750$ just for 5 people and thats just for the painter dam
grim sinew
Maya is $250 per month for you and you think Substance is expensive?
pallid compass
no indie studio pays that
grim sinew
At least Substance isn't a monthly fee like Photoshop
pallid compass
try 250$ a year for maya LT
BUt yeah u use photoshop for other things as well in a studio
grim sinew
Plenty of indie studios do, because Maya LT is stupid. Dynamics and higher poly counts are too important to give up
pallid compass
like we use it for web design, concept art, GUI creation etc
grim sinew
Right but not texturing, and that's the discussion 😛
pallid compass
idk about that man, we use zbrush for high poly count
we never take high poly crap in too maya
it handles it like trash
all baking is in xnormal
grim sinew
Good luck doing precise, hard surface stuff with zbrush
grim sinew
Make Optimius Prime from the new transformers movie in Zbrush
Also, unless you're making cages by hand, use something like substance or marmoset for baking, not xnormal. Those automate making cages and will get you better results.
pallid compass
i was joking lmao
im actually hard surface working in zbrush rn
going to have too disagree there, never have any issues with xnormal
ao and high to low baking always been fab in it
grim sinew
Nothing to disagree about there, just a fact. Xnormal is old and doesn't have conveniences of modern baking like automatic cage creation and baking by mesh name
pallid compass
what u on about, i never have to setup cages in xnormal
grim sinew
What about 600k polys do you think Maya couldn't handle, btw? Maya only starts to choke at about 10 mil or so
grim sinew
You didn't have to, I'm looking at it
pallid compass
then ur looking for the wrong thing :p
cloud cobalt
Meanwhile, baking meshes on Blender
frank escarp
@grim sinew i myself am evaluating unity
cloud cobalt
"What's this "xnormal" thing"
grim sinew
@pallid compass Just checking beforehand, are you famliar with cages?
frank escarp
i can guarantee you the "master" branch from the licensees is the same as the master branch in github
but with the console stuff removed
they have done changes to the stuff
and Paragon runs in Promoted branch
what happens is that feature development works on separate branches
you can see them doing huge fucking merges from dev-vr or dev-whatevre
they merge that into master, and eventually stabilize more or less in promoted
then it goes into the numbered versions
in some Paragon talks they directly say that their artists run on the Promoted branch
pallid compass
@cloud cobalt xnormal is fab free tool for baking things like ao and normals
cloud cobalt
I know
pallid compass
oh lmao
grim sinew
Yes, especially if you have an hour to burn watching AO bake
plush yew
cloud cobalt
I'm just making fun because Blender has xnormal built in since like 2005
grim sinew
Not on the CPU baker you don't
pallid compass
gpu baking m8
frank escarp
blender has had bakers since literally forever
even cycles baking from quite a while ago
grim sinew
GPU baking on xnormal is horrid, much more prone to artifacts
pallid compass
ur baking baking cpu then u might need to take a step back haha
frank escarp
you can bake lightmaps on blender if you want
frank hound
what's blender? :p
cloud cobalt
@frank escarp Cycles baking is not even the oldest one
pallid compass
no idea man, works well for my team and we get good results
frank escarp
and no antialiasing on the normal map
pallid compass
so fast
cloud cobalt
@frank escarp I use Cycles and it's pretty good. AO bakes are slow though
grim sinew
I never once said to bake anything in maya 😛
pallid compass
I know
frank escarp
AO is slow after all
pallid compass
never used cycles
frank escarp
but blender AO bake its very exact, its not approximated or anything
it literally just throws a fuckton of rays and occludes depending on the collision
plush yew
ive never seen somoene get so angry about the fact i called them a lazy government worker and said they do nothing.
plush yew
this dude on this programming discord
i told him how i think gov't workers are lazy
little do i know
he calls me ignorant and shit
says im dumb
and he works government
all the people ive had to work with in the government
have no skills, are overall lazy, and incompetent
they get overpaid as well
cloud cobalt
@plush yew Not the right Discord
frank hound
isn't max the most used 3d software for modeling in AAA game studios?
pallid compass
lmfao amazing
i highly doubt it haugar
it runs like garabage
its prob the worst thing iv used i think?
plush yew
@cloud cobalt what do u mean o3o
cloud cobalt
@plush yew If you want to talk about how goverment workers suck, that's not here
plush yew
@cloud cobalt are u a government worker?
worthy ether
I think the point is that its a discord for ue4/game development
cloud cobalt
Libertarian 101 can go on Reddit instead
cloud cobalt
I am
frank hound
@pallid compass and what doesn't ? :p compared to maya its just the same lol
worthy ether
the only off-topic things that are allowed here are cat images

paper briar
is there a performance impact between modeling with gemetry in ue4 or importing static meshes?
plush yew
bye
paper briar
ok are LODs availible on geomoetry modeling?
cloud cobalt
Doubtful
paper briar
ok
plush yew
Please welcome @tranquil bone to the community! :beers:
frank hound
@paper briar yeah you can create better mesh if you import, but ue4 modeling is still valid for prototyping
cloud cobalt
Geometry modeling is not exactly encouraged by Epic, it's kind of something they left from decades ago because sometimes it's useful

Hi everyone! Im just wondering does anyone know how to make a toon water material that would fit a low poly style game
plush yew
hehe
hello
i have a question
im making a fps game and i want a suggestion for the type of bullets
pallid compass
type of bullet wat
plush yew
armor piercing
plush yew
? 😛
can i actually import a 3d model from lets say, blender rather than doing it in UE4
pallid compass
what
plush yew
ye ofc
pallid compass
not sure how that fits in too bullets
can you expand on what ur trying to do with bullets & model
plush yew
export from blender as fbx or fxb or what its called
grim sinew
No, you can only import models you make line by line in a text editor, manually specifying vertex coordinates and face assignments.
plush yew
grim sinew
Notepad for life
pallid compass
yes
plush yew
fancy bullets
pallid compass
But heres the thing
grim sinew
Really though, yes. Anything that exports obj or fbx, you can use.
pallid compass
Bullets move so fast u dont really umm, actually fire models.
pallid compass
Oh are u talking for bullet rounds too fall on the floor?
plush yew
hmm so just fire models whit collision
s
idk, i think hes just asking how to tackle having bullets
pallid compass
no u dont fire any models
You would use a muzzle flash & line trace normally
its very situational too actually fire projectiles.
plush yew
you can shoot a model too but yea, use the line trace
pallid compass
if u have 30 rps and your spawning 30 models a second per person thats not so good
and if its multiplayer thats a 100% no
plush yew
true lol
and any way to manage the line trajectory since i want to have recoil and bullet t
drop
you can incorporate that in your code
and linetrace afaik
ok tnx @plush yew @pallid compass
pallid compass
np
plush yew
sorry for the time waste , still learning 😃
@plush yew watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNVEimfgvm4
ok
(its a 5 part series, but a quick look already tells me it will be worth your time)
covers 'proper' shooting (so linetraces) and bullet drop, and penetration
well if it does not work .... we can always make another cod style game ... 😃
pallid compass
I am really suprised they dont have a linetrace with drop built in
plush yew
😛
ye was just lookin for that too halcyon, weird
but the video tut will surelly explain how it does that too so yea, watch it all & gl 😛
seems alot less general use & detailed then the series i linked ^^ but your pick ofc
theres bound to be lots of good tuts on the subject
pallid compass
man im really thinking about rebuilding my engine system to use quats
4dimensional math is so nice for this type of stuff
plush yew
@plush yew im watching it rn (ur link)
okie ^^
im too lol, might learn something new ^^
heres a link to playlist btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNVEimfgvm4&list=PLFb4aMnKngaZrO6HgTZjEgbM904_nvkUJ
Does anyone have experience tracking down crashes when playing shipping builds over steam?
The .dmp file doesn't give me any useful information
Atleast not in a format that I can undestand
livid haven
@plush yew Have you tried this? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d5zhxt22.aspx
not in a format that I can undestand
Makes it sound to me like you were trying to look at it as a text file, rather than trying to load it up in VS.
Dump files basically have a snapshot of the state of the program when it crashed. You'll be able to see the callstack, which line it crashed on, and potentially the values of variables.
It may not be enough to diagnose the cause, but it is usually enough to at least start to form a theory and add in some extra logging or guarding code that will either resolve the issue OR make it so that future crashes give more actionable information.
pallid compass
sion too the rescue
grim ore
before I decide to just give up on learning UE4 C++, does anyone know how to shut off the IWYU changes they added in? None of the learning materials work with the new method and my ability to care is almost at 0 =/
livid haven
I don't know that you can shut off IWYU, but you're better off learning how to IWYU anyways.
What's the problem specifically?
plush yew
@livid haven Thanks, I'm opening it in VS but it just tells me which modules were active?
grim ore
I can't get Engine.h added to my game mode header without it shitting everywhere
plush yew
I actually don't see a callstack
livid haven
@grim ore And what happens if you just don't add that header?
@plush yew Open up the threads window in VS and look for the main thread.
Double click it.
It should then give you the callstack of the main thread.
pallid compass
-taking notes-
grim ore
if I don't add the header I cant use GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage
livid haven
@grim ore Meaning, it doesn't compile because GEngine isn't defined?
grim ore
Epic really needed to update their official docs with the new stuff =/ you can't use any of the old stuff
if i dont have the header then yes it wont compile
@fossil ore hola 😃
fossil ore
hola.
livid haven
Then you need to IWYU - the headers that define GEngine and UEngine.
fossil ore
Does anyone know/have a good tutorial on creating a material that will represent blood on the actor (player) ?
grim ore
yep which I do, Engine.h, and then it goes to shit
it might just be intellisense but if thats the case then I lose autocomplete and =/
livid haven
Hold on, are you getting a build issue or just Intellisense?
Intellisense can not cope with the sheer scale of UE4.
pallid compass
imo Intellisense is a lying little brat
livid haven
It will absolutely mislead you as to what is or is not valid.
glossy flame
Engine.h != Engine/Engine.h
grim ore
build issue if I dont use the header, intellisense if I use it but then I lose autocomplete
livid haven
Also, what @glossy flame just said.
grim ore
its the correct files
glossy flame
Engine.h is the massive header that includes a large part of the engine, Engine/Engine.h is probably the one you're looking for?
grim ore
it compiles and runs fine if I let it squiggle itself to death
glossy flame
They both exist, they just serve different purposes
livid haven
Alright, @grim ore, then you're fine. It's Intellisense.
You won't want to hear this...
grim ore
yes its Engine/Engine.h , I made sure to use the correct one from the docs
fossil ore
Anyone? Blood decal on actor?
livid haven
... but the reality is that a third party tool called Visual Assist X by Whole Tomato Software is practically a de facto standard for working with C++.
grim ore
yep I've got VAX but I can't start a video with "today we are going to learn C++ and blueprints in UE4. First thing you are going to want to do is spend $100 or else your fucked"
livid haven
I can't start a video with
Are you making a video?
(Herp derp typo makes me sound illiterate)
grim ore
that was the plan before I started this horrible horrible experience lol
livid haven
I'm going to suggest you not try to make tutorial videos if you're not proficient. I mean, documenting your experience, sure.
plush yew
Mathew makes great videos though
livid haven
And unfortunately you can't get around that quote you made - you do need to spend $100 or resort to piracy.
pallid compass
what costs 100$ for c++?
livid haven
VAX
pallid compass
oh i dont have vax, oops
livid haven
I'm not familiar, not questioning the quality of his videos, I'm just suggesting that the proverbial "blind leading the blind" is... questionable.
plush yew
@livid haven Am I required to open the .dmp file within my VS project for the game?
grim ore
well I can get around it by regenerating the files after I add the header but that just seems stupid. Was hoping for a "correct" of doing it but so far everyone's answers have been VAX =/
raven cedar
he is far from blind
plush yew
I was able to run debug, open the threads window
livid haven
@plush yew I don't think so, but it's been years.
raven cedar
he is just having a hard time to come to grips with UE as a shit platform that is MACRO C++ not C++
simple
pallid compass
i once spent 6 hours trying to find a vs problem, and it turned out id typed "lol" at the top of a header by mistake at some point, if only i had VAX
livid haven
@raven cedar Uh, what? UE is plain old C++ through and through.
raven cedar
UE C++ is not plain C++
livid haven
...
raven cedar
and please, dont be ignorant in here
frank escarp
nowhere near plan C++
raven cedar
there are plenty of people who know what they are doing
pallid compass
oh jesus here we go
frank escarp
i mean, it is C++, just too much weird shit
livid haven
@raven cedar Oh, don't worry, I was only part of the engine team and am currently working with Epic. -_-
pallid compass
inb4 the roast
raven cedar
telling a community member who does nothing but contribute, maybe he needs to learn, from someone we dont give a screw about? lollers
livid haven
So tell me about how UE4 is not plain C++ and Epic invented a custom compiler to compile it's custom version of C++.
frank escarp
they do run a preprocessor on the headers tho
raven cedar
I dont need to justify what kind of engineer I am, I am simply stating you are not the engineer of everyone else.
cheers.
pallid compass
what the..? where was that implied
livid haven
UBT runs UHT to parse the headers, yes. It then generates plain old C++.
Macros are also plain old C++, not some kind of special "MACRO C++"
And at no point did I suggest @grim ore is "blind", I used the idiom "blind leading the blind" to refer to someone who does not know something trying to teach others what they don't know - it's alright to not know, but it's inadvisable to teach when you don't yet understand.
I wouldn't advise that Bjarne Stroustrup try to teach UE4 if he's not yet familiar with it, doesn't matter how famous or important or genius someone thinks he is.
frank escarp
we can review his video tho
but a noob (at that part) trying to do video tutorials.. not something good
livid haven
Right, which is all I was saying before someone decided I had slighted and insulted their idol, apparently.
pallid compass
grim ore
the consensus seems to be that intellisense is fairly useless for UE4 in C++ and that VAX is a requirement then?
livid haven
Indeed, unfortunately.
MS's Intellisense just isn't up to spec for something as huge and complex as UE4, as odd as that may sound.
As for VAX, it's about 100 USD and you get a year of updates from the point of purchase, IIRC.
grim ore
is there a way to regenerate the .generated files without closing/opening the project?
livid haven
You can still download and use it after that, you just won't be able to download a version that's newer than a year from the date of purchase.
pallid compass
yeah
livid haven
Slight confusion.
pallid compass
just generate project and let it reload
when ur in vs it ask if u wann reload it or not
livid haven
The *.generated.* files are made when you build.
pallid compass
ohhh
grim ore
they don't seem to be for me then,. or I broke something
pallid compass
i thought generate project files makes them?
livid haven
Hold on
Trying to clear up the confusion.
The *.generated.* files are regenerated on build, but the project files are not.
You can regenerate project files from within VS if you install UnrealVS which is a free plugin for VS that ships with the engine.
You can find it under Engine/Extras somewhere.
It's a handy little plugin that will let you regenerate the project files with the click of a button.
Looks like this
(And before anyone asks/tries, none of those command line args will do you any good nor are they leaking anything other than my phone number sans area code)
frank escarp
if you use the absolute latest version of VS2017, its "kind of" usable
but only kind of usable
it shits itself constantly
a pro tip
never
EVER
trust intellisense errors
i havent seen them being right ever
look at the errors on the compile log
livid haven
Let's you select the startup project, specify command line args when launching from VS, regenerate project files, and gives a handy batch build option. Also, I accidentally snapshotted the bookmark toolbar there, that's not part of UnrealVS.
grim ore
so adding a billboard component header to my game mode header break intellisense regardless of if I clean/rebuild/build/do a dance. Closing down the editor/VS and opening it again fixes this. This is what I am trying to avoid and seems weird.
frank escarp
the compile error window is broken as fuck, the errors in the code itself with red lines are broken too
look for the errors in the compile log
those are the exact ones
grim ore
randomly during this it will also give me the "cant find the blah.generated.h" error which is why I was asking that
frank escarp
livid haven
@grim ore Yeah, that's just intellisense for the most part if not completely.
frank escarp
this is the only thing you can trust
livid haven
+1 on look at "Output", not "Errors"
grim ore
so what does UE4 do when I re open the project? closing VS and restarting it without restarting the editor doesnt fix this.
frank escarp
it does nothing, really
livid haven
But that's generally true of VS I find - template related errors are way easier to follow in the Output log that in Errors.
grim ore
it does enough to fix this lol
frank escarp
look at the output log
smoky oracle
anyone using linux version here?
frank escarp
it will give you the exact error
and in what line it is
meanwhile, i look at Clang compile errors
and im jelly
grim ore
output is clean, it compiles fine. Intellisense gets broken.
frank escarp
visual studio is like "ERROR LNK 516231441234 mismatch in function signature AHSDRXCV@STUFF(HGASDFVASDF VOID INPUT)"
livid haven
@grim ore Once you switch to VAX, the only reason to regenerate project files and reload the project file should be because you added new source files and you want them to show up in the the solution explorer OR because you tweaked the module or target CS files (which are indeed C#).
grim ore
just trying to find out what UE4 does to fix it
frank escarp
it just cant handle its size
basically that
if it compiles fine and output is fine, everything is fine
also becouse the .generated files are weird
livid haven
I don't know why your broken intellisense fixes up with a VS and UE4 restart. If it fixes, I'd imagine it's because of the VS restart, but you're saying you need to restart both? That's weird as all get out.
frank escarp
and the macro fuckery, like UPROPERTY() wich works with the preprocessor, fucks with the intellisense parser
intellisense kind of compiles the code
livid haven
Either way, kill Intellisense and pick up VAX or you are going to have a very bad time (tm). :/
frank escarp
so stuff like uproperty, wich is a fake thing, confuse it
livid haven
Yeah, UE4 uses macros that (most of them, most of the time) compile down to nothing at all as a means of marking up code so that it can parse the markup and generate code.
frank escarp
and it uses a quite custom weird compile options, not the "usual" compile options
for example, things like unity builds
its interesting that the VAX guys are really working on making it work better for UE4
i guess they got a very considerable increase in the clients just from people with ue4
livid haven
I'd believe that.
frank escarp
great tool tho. Even if i just use the basic features
but thats all i need, really
as long as it has a working autocomplete and rename features, im gold
and "go to definition"
stuff like "find references" is also gold
tranquil bone
Does anyone think that a game that is stylized to be low poly and is a battleroyal hunger games style. Would it work? or survival/sandbox game
frank escarp
no becouse by the time you are done, 40 other battle royales will release
livid haven
VAX is a life saver. Alt + S, Shift + Alt + S, Alt + O, Shift + Alt + O... those will wear out some time after WASD.
grim ore
@tranquil bone it would sell between 0 and a billion copies, go for it.
livid haven
True facts.
Don't chase the fad now. If you start when it's in full swing, you'll be late to market and left with tears and debt.
You best be delivering some real quality if you're going to compete in that saturated market.
Or be comfortable with really questionable practices to make a dime, I suppose.
frank escarp
it would need to be free, for a start
and you dont really have the resources for the online framework needed, for sure
i did look into creating a lowpoly battle royale game myself
as a possibility,
made a prototype and everything
for a VR version
tranquil bone
i just wanted to make a cool looking game since im not old enough to even realse it
frank escarp
if you dont want it to be a commercial project for serious, then do whatever you feel like doing
livid haven
Ah. Then you need to start way, way, way smaller. That is, you should start way smaller.
tranquil bone
ive done multiple games before so i know how the engine works
livid haven
Massive environments + multiplayer, especially high player count is a very large, very expensive can of worms, though.
But yeah, if it's just for kicks while learning and you feel like you've got some notches under your belt, go for it.
Your question was "Would it work?".
I don't quite know what you're asking there, but I think everyone who responded took that as "could it be successful?"
tranquil bone
Yea i think that was the response
i was just wondering if it was the two low poly and battleroyal would actaully be able to work together
livid haven
Huh. I think it's kind of an odd question.
More of a larger point of discussion I guess.
I mean, I'm pretty sure there's a Minecraft mod/map thing that is Hunger Games (or at least inspired by).
tranquil bone
probably
livid haven
So, clearly there is some market for that.
frank escarp
if its for a personal project, do whatever you like
im just way too busines minded XD
tranquil bone
xD
livid haven
As phrased though, you're asking if combining an aesthetic style and a "genre" of gameplay "work together", which doesn't exactly make sense when you think about it, you see what I'm saying?
livid haven
You've probably got a legitimate question underneath that, but only you can clarify what it is you really mean to ask.
livid haven
Whether that's marketability or whether they're at odds with eachother tonally or something else.
This would be going down more of a game design discussion to an extent (which is totally fine), but as far as "work together", it's matter of whether they're at odds in some way. Low poly could means it looks like ye ol' Tron or it could mean Minecraft "cube-ism".
tranquil bone
i used "low poly" and i just noticed thats a very broad topic/style
ill send a picture
/video
like an art style like that
livid haven
Battle royale seems to mean having competitive multiplayer with high player count in a large environment, typically with environmental hazards (or beneficial opportunities) that force players to interact with eachother.
So just very polygonal, got it.
Well, what do the two have to do with eachother? How does the art style impact that kind of game?
livid haven
It's a broader subject of aesthetic design vs gameplay/mechanics.
They both define the experience the player has, in different ways.
Ideally, they work off of eachother.
livid haven
You can take a look at games that have similar gameplay but dramatically different aesthetic styles or art styles and start to reflect on how they made it work, why it works.
tranquil bone
@pallid compass xD
livid haven
For example, The Surge is a souls-like game, but it's futuristic and sci-fi, as opposed to "medieval" fantasy. Did it work? Does it feel wrong? Is it at odds with the way the game otherwise feels?
Or Hollow Knight, which is also "souls-like" in a much more general sense, but also a "metroidvania" game. It's also got a dark palette, ghostly/ethereal stylings, but it's also kind of "cutesy" too.
tranquil bone
@livid haven you could saythat. though all games ive seen that are battletoyal go for a sense of realisum but if you look at it from that angle none of the games make sense if it is realistic since a purge/deathmatch for the last man standing would never happen throwing that sense of realisum out the window. So aesthically it doesnt affect the way the player plays the game since say if i made a game with ultra realistic graphics but it was a battleroyal game say that was just a skinned H1Z1/PUBG it would still feel unrealistic from the consepct of the game
pallid compass
imo a realistic battle royal is not fun
livid haven
Well, they're going for "realism" in some sense, not all senses of the word.
pallid compass
Like when i create my game mechanics i want the player to feel like they are having an impact & when the impact is successful i want them to feel rewarded
livid haven
There's realistic aesthetic style versus realistic simulation versus "realistic" narrative and on and on.
As well, realism as perceived is more about "suspension of disbelief".
You can have wizards and dragons and someone can fault you for being "unrealistic" because you did something inconsistent with everything else that you've done - not because it's literally not real.
pallid compass
when you need to sleep but the discord chat has good discussion going on rip
livid haven
😛
pallid compass
its already sion already ruined me with 4 dimensional math
after i got taught a bit of that
couldnt sleep all night
its alright*
livid haven
Hey now, I didn't teach that, I just said quaternions involve 4d math and imaginary numbers. 😛
pallid compass
all i could think about was 4th axis rotational planes
tranquil bone
Is sion just a force that no one should touch
livid haven
And don't bother trying to understand them.
I tend to stick around here, generally #cpp though, and on Game Dev League's Unreal channel.
livid haven
I'm not Epic staff, but I've been working with Epic for about 5 years, worked on the engine, currently working on Fortnite.
pallid compass
taught me how not to be mentally impired when using bind events
tranquil bone
i didnt know that
pallid compass
actually while u are both here
u know whats been driving me insane for like 6 days now
tranquil bone
Im just a 14 years old xD
pallid compass
i doubt ul know the answer but, passing mouse over target data in a god dam target actor in gameplay ability system
livid haven
So I've got a lot of knowledge and best practices from that. I haven't seen or heard from any other industry professionals on here, besides Epic staff, so I'm generally sharing stuff people can't find anywhere else in that respect.
pallid compass
no mater what way i try and do it, server always rejects the data, and even if i rpc it too server its liek "noooo"
oh 14 LOL oops
livid haven
Alas, gameplay abilities system isn't my thing. Couldn't tell you where that point of failure might be.
pallid compass
will wait till u 1 day finally get curious and dive in
its so weird if i trigger the skill via a payload with the target data it works
livid haven
I've dipped my toe in and opted to write my own instead, eventually, with lessons learned from what I find dysfunctional about it.
pallid compass
but anything else with mouse over target data is like "no"
tranquil bone
@livid haven just wondering since your epic staff since i cant find this out on how to do is it possible that you know how to turn your terrain into basically polygons like that video i sent
pallid compass
tldr i wish there was a button that was like "just listen too the client dam it"
u can export the height map, and make a polygon with it
then reimport
livid haven
Not Epic staff. I also don't want the tag, because then that means I have to be burdened with representing someone/something else and not just myself.
pallid compass
im gonna throw my self off a bridge

that makes no god dam sense, i havent done anything all day too it
iv been in zbrush all day
tranquil bone
xD
livid haven
@tranquil bone I'm not quite sure what you mean - landscape is already polygonal. You just want it to be "low" poly, so you'll have to make the landscape big but with fewer "tiles".
pallid compass
i hate the engine for real
livid haven
@pallid compass You've got to have done something odd to keep running in to that intermittently. Something about your workflow?
pallid compass
i havent done anything all day
i have not really done anything since i fixed it
apart from make some more UI
livid haven
Toss me a screenshot of your callstack and your Locals window from the topmost non-array method
pallid compass
im not even getting a callstack
tranquil bone
@livid haven i mean like this https://gyazo.com/337cbe1dc60e7803c7746d3fca109d16
it might be difficult to sea
get it....
livid haven
@pallid compass Run with VS attached.
livid haven
@tranquil bone Hmmm. Well, for one that's water and not landscape, but the other thing you need to do is not have smoothed normals.
@pallid compass You can just attach via VS, but you do need to be in the right config.
tranquil bone
yea ik i was giving an exsample
livid haven
If you've always been working with Debug Editor, then that should be easy.
pallid compass
wait there is debug editor and debuggame editor o_O
livid haven
Correct
pallid compass
iv been using development editor most of the game
livid haven
Debug Editor means everything is built for debugging (including engine) and the build includes the editor and runs the editor by default.
pallid compass
gotcha
livid haven
DebugGame Editor means only your project is built for debugging, and again the editor is included and runs by default.
pallid compass
just gotta build the debug editor
tranquil bone
now time to figure out how to make a landscape material end my life
livid haven
I'll give you hours.
livid haven
Fair enough.
tranquil bone
ive always been confused by landscape materials
tranquil bone
thats the lowpoly i want to see
pallid compass
Right Sion if i launch it with vs, its attached correct?
there is diag tools going so im going to assume it is
storm venture
sorry to interrupt, just wondering what are the common ways about doing the intro movies in a final game?
is using the ue4 intro logo a good idea? is it allowed? should it just be our own logo?
livid haven
@pallid compass Yes.
pallid compass
right its attached
livid haven
@storm venture There's some legal doc somewhere on the site about using their logo. :X
livid haven
As for startup movies... I think they're done in a very specific manner. You may have luck searching for "startup movie" in the codebase or INIs.
Not to be confused with the splash screen when the process is starting up.
That, I think, is editable via project settings in the editor.
@pallid compass Yeah, though you can kill the diag stuff. You just want to crash with the debugger attached.
Then you'll get the callstack and be able to inspect everything.
pallid compass
Im going to assume this is the correct screen,
Question since this is first time doing this and for future reference, is the break point is where it has crashed correct?
tranquil bone
Night everyone
livid haven
That is where it has "broken", but it is not a break point.
You insert break points to make the code "break" at that point.
livid haven
Buh... alright. Scroll down the callstack. Just, like, Page Down on it once.
Actually, should move this out of #ue4-general anyways.

whole quarry
Welcome
gleaming plaza
europe has some very very good developers, but the US have a better education system for technical development, so there are not only the freaks in the scene 😃
whole quarry
Are you calling Europeans freaks? 😮
gleaming plaza
the europeans, that start game development, often do it by theirself, without educational help... so yeah... this guys are freaks, but in a positive meaning 😃
whole quarry
I'm so offended by that 😮
wary wave
"europe has some very very good developers, but the US have a better education system for technical development"
- false
wary wave
US Bachelor degrees are often held in so low regard in the UK that they aren't accepted as equivalent to a British one, hehe
hard ice
Someone got a good i18n tutorial? The website localization documentation kinda lacks information except the basics and YT is full with "everyones" own way
wary wave
US Masters are sometimes considered equivalent to a UK Bachelors
gleaming plaza
But in the US, there are some high school projects, which include Game Modding... you wouldn't see this in the most countrys in europe... thats fact
wary wave
I wouldn't want to see it, I would want to see better general education
gleaming plaza
yeah... and that world wide... the actual education systems are all outdated
plush yew

gleaming plaza
but thats not the reason why I am here xD is here someone with knowledge about ARK Modding ? I want to create a extended Stack Mod for a new server and would be happy about some help
whole quarry
Well, this is a UE4 dev server, not a Ark Mod server
gleaming plaza
ARK is a UE4 Game, and I think there is no real ARK Modding Chat Server/System
wary wave
there's an Ark modding Discord
gleaming plaza
really ? do you know where to find ?
gleaming plaza
Thank you mate 😃 so... this Discord here, is not for Game Modding... more for real Game Developers for completly new Games yeah ?
whole quarry
This is the real deal here, not some hobby modding club
wary wave
and Ark's version of the engine is A) very old and B) heavily customised anyway
I think it's based on 4.6?
whole quarry
They never updated to newer?
devout gulch
does anyone know what exact dependencies UE4 redist install ?
gleaming plaza
ok I see 😃 sorry for disturbing and good luck everyone 😃 when someone needs a experienced Beta Tester, you can contact me 😃 I'm a very experienced Gamer
devout gulch
and why they are not provided as standalone dlls ? ;d
plush yew
<Goes back to watching Alien Isolation speedruns
wary wave
no, they never updated to a newer version because their engine is heavily modified
constantly updating to new versions makes no sense when developing a decently sized game
whole quarry
So no volumetric fog for ARK then
wary wave
they have their own volumetrics
plus they couldn't use UE4's anyway, as the game has to run (also on consoles)
just the idea of trying to update a project the size of Ark to a newer engine revision gives me nausea D:

You have the "end" shortcut to place an actor on another actor but are there also for the x and y axis shortcuts?
cursive dirge
@whole quarry the base engine version for ARK is old but they've pulled in many feats from newer UE4
cherry picking them
that must have gotten way more tedious after Epic decided they don't put inidividual commits to git anymore though
because.. reasons
nowadays you get hundreds of commits bundled in one commit
good luck on cherry picking the feat from that
honest vale
didn't ARK revamp most of the lighting rendering?
they use some IBL system for GI, right?
cursive dirge
they have IBL thing but they did that early on
it's not impressive though
although it's possible they didn't turn that on until you put some higher graphics settings?
I've never had a GPU that could run that game on better settings
the one I had when I played the game ran it 14fps on low
had to scale the resolution down to get anything acceptable
honest vale
wtf 😄
cursive dirge
game actually got only worse for me while they kept "optimizing it"
my guess is that they just threw more things in that what their optimizing tweaks gained
but then again, they've always developed that game like that
kinda curious to see what happens on the release
honest vale
I wonder if it's CPU or GPU limited
cursive dirge
GPU
if you look at their materials on ark modkit, it's not really any wonder it doesn't perform well
honest vale
shader complexity all red? 😄
cursive dirge
in the early days, they put 40+ layers in their landscape material
honest vale
...
cursive dirge
and that was prior they had lots of new environments in it
honest vale
sounds like they aren't very experienced with UE
cursive dirge
it must be horrible now
or in gamedev in general 😄
I doubt any engine can handle that kind of abuse properly
the low settings gave you alternative material that only had like 10-12 layers
honest vale
you can get away with surprisingly few layers
cursive dirge
"only"
frank escarp
Ark knew that they could abuse early access
and they did exactly that
why even bother when you can sell a barely playble game, if your players wont really care that is barely playable
cursive dirge
game itself wasnt't that bad IMO, it has it's moments, it's just the optimization is really bad
or rather, how they prepare things, it shouldn't even be called optimization
(I'd call it common sense)
whole quarry
Kinda sounds like how Rust abuses EA for years
frank escarp
and now Ark exits early access
while still running like ass
and they increased the price to 60 dollars without doing a thing XD
for the retail release for consoles
wich runs at like 15 fps
cursive dirge
heh, doesn't really help either that people have this kind of attitude
like 1080 is some standard nowadays
people do report improvements on that last patch though
which is mainly UE4 renderer side improvement, not something they did for the game assets
wary wave
Ragnarok is a mod
but yeah, performance in Ark has gotten a lot better over the last year
they did something to change how transparency was handled a while back and it made an enormous difference
I get a decent framerate in Ark on a 970
running on Xbox is another question...
wary wave
fair
honest vale
they enabled early-Z on masked materials? 😛
wary wave
they did something deeper in the shader files, I think - it changed how a lot of the transparent materials looked / worked
for a short while you could amusingly look through glass panels straight through the ocean, lol

How do I check if an actor is behind or in front of the player?
grim ore
the easiest way is to see if has been recently rendered/seen
the other way is to do a trace to it and check the thingy that I can't remember what it is called but it gives you the direction and you can see if its behind you
the problem with the first one is if something is blocking it pretty much makes it not work well
glossy flame
Yeah, I would do a dot product between the player's forward vector and the direction vector from the player to the actor
grim ore
there you go, DOT product. the stupid word I always forget
glossy flame
If it's negative, the actor is behind
The more positive it is, the closer it is to the forward vector
Pseudocode: dot(PlayerForwardVector, (OtherActorPos - PlayerPos).Normalize())
grim ore
theres also a neato node call Get Dot Product To that takes in 2 actors and works like a charm 😉
It's the Dot Product that I always forget, simple name but I always forget it lol
glossy flame
Oh, that's cool, didn't know that function exists 😃
Yeah, looking at the source it does pretty much the same thing but built-in
tidal lichen
Thank you!

Is there any way I can mimic keyboard inputs without the need to actually press a key on the keyboard for beyond UE4 functions, just for example: mimicking the windows start key input and actually opening the windows start window
tidal lichen
like opening the start window based on some behavior in the game?
obsidian topaz
Yes but not for a game function actually haha. It's an experimental project for myself
glossy flame
You probably can do it via the Windows API or some generalized UE4 wrapper API if that exists, but in BP only I wouldn't be holding my breath
obsidian topaz
Yeah lethal I just did a little research and it seems like that's how I can pull it off, I wonder though how I could do the same with mouse inputs
I'm trying to create a private Remote Desktop control for my pc from my laptop straight in UE4
tidal lichen
You can use c++ and hook to windows directly from unreal or you could write a script in python or something and make it listen for commands on a port. And then you could send tcp messages to the script with blueprints
obsidian topaz
^ yeah that too. Thanks guys I think I've got it 😃
