Ok screenshot me what you see
gleaming shore
keep going back in the folder until you see a textures folder
like, keep going to the previous folder (if that makes sense)
pulsar badge
its a foliage
not texture
its foliage folder
Could you just make me some
lol
Like that video
gleaming shore
i would need the base texture to work off of
gleaming shore
I know but thats the uasset alot of things make up the asset and i just need the .png texture
gleaming shore
I do but i have like 16 programs open atm and really dont fancy opening another
pulsar badge
lol
ok
idk what im looking for ๐ฆ
Could you not install the thing i did
and just use it
?
gleaming shore
im packaging a game atm so i wouldnt be able to import it
timid shoal
dont wanna discourage you, and i definetly admire DBBKs patiens but you sir need bit more basics and you should get them by watching some tutorials ๐
gleaming shore
I agree tbh

We all start knowing nothing, and in UE4 its really really easy to get to grips with stuff, even though it may look hard
pulsar badge
ok.....

Exactly

Does anyone know how to stop everything being cooked when packaging or if you even can
queen arch
help point me to the right direction?
I'm trying to get my croshair to transform into a mouse cursor, when I get close to a computer screen so I can click on umg buttons, without pausing the game
I've been searching all day and I can't find anything
one problem is that the crosshair isn't accurate. The line trace hits it square on only at a certain distance
gleaming shore
@queen arch have you tried Set Show Mouse Curser and ticking the boolean?
queen arch
yes, but the mouse cursor is all over the place, it doesn't follow the center of the screen
gleaming shore
Do you want the curser to be stuck in the center?
gleaming shore
Aim at buttons that're NOT on a widget?
queen arch
aim at button that are on a widget
gleaming shore
Ive never played those games so im slightly confused as to what you mean
What do you mean by the mouse is all over the place?
queen arch
gleaming shore
You could swap out the crosshair widget for one with a picture of a curser?
queen arch
start 3:00 ends 3:20
floral heart
Turn off the crosshair, draw a cursor on the in-game "screen" corresponding to the player's aim point. How you do that, I don't know.
queen arch
That is the general idea, I also don't know how to do that
gleaming shore
or simply set visibility of crosshair to 0 and the mouse to 1 (assuming you choose to have a picture of a mouse and not actually the curser)
Do you already have a working concept, for example can you already interact with the computer ?
queen arch
yes i can interact with the computer, with a widget interaction component on my player character
which is a line trace and works well enough... but. The line trace and the crosshair (or any other icon i could try importing) are only accurate at a certain distance
gleaming shore
Ok so its simple, find a nice picture of a curser and put it right ontop of your crosshair in the widget then create a binding on visibility or opacity and set them based on whether your in distance of a computer
or rather than do distance itl be easier to just a box collision, so if player overlapping box collision set crosshair opacity 0 then set mouse opacity 1
queen arch
hope this works
gleaming shore
fierce tulip
--
gleaming shore
Thanks
queen arch
This done with the way you described?
gleaming shore
Pretty much, Although I set a variable (Is player near computer) on overlap and then unset it when player stops overlapping
flat pilot
any idea on how to use this ? it has no bp events nor any documentation
gleaming shore
the variable is then used in the widget to determine whether to show crosshair or mouse, simple if statement (branch) then set visibility @queen arch
queen arch
Great! I will try that, thank you
gleaming shore
Hey @fierce tulip you're a UE4 pro right, is there a way when packaging to stop it cooking every single thing
gleaming shore
ahahahaha, thanks anyway

Hey all, I was wondering how I could disable display scaling in the editor. My graphics card fried on my desktop and those damn miners bought all of them so I can't afford to buy a card right now and I'm stuck with my desktop, and Unreal makes everything look huge on it. I tried going into the .exe and disabling dpi display scaling but it didn't do anything; any ideas?
humble sun
@tropic pilot Probably best to overlap the collisions by extending them a little bit in the static mesh.. make the collision box a bit longer than the static. MIGHT alleviate the bump.

FString::Printf
Would this print its content to the output log window?
Official doc says "as well as displayed to the screen with UE_LOG debug messaging "
But I dont see any shit on the screen or log window
Is there any document or video that shows exactly why we need to add a ' * ' before a FString in some situation?
This may cover some engine programing stuff,but I hope there's some senior dudes knowing this.

upbeat fern
hey guys, I'm making some collision models for a donut, and need the hole in the middle, any suggestions for UCX mesh ?
paper kernel
form a ring from boxes?
floral heart
That looks like a ring of boxes. And it's about as good as you're getting.
cursive dirge
@upbeat fern is the ring a simulated rigidbody?
paper kernel
UE why you do htis
cursive dirge
or static collision on the level?
UE4 convex builder sucks at shapes with holes in the middle
@upbeat fern anyway, if you don't simulate that donut shape itself and it's just a static collider, you can use mesh collision (complex as simple on collision setting)
if it's needs to be a dynamic rigidbody, then you need to do what you are doing now
of course, you wouldn't have very high poly mesh for complex as simple
more like, use lowest LOD mesh for that
honest vale
@paper kernel that's how floating point numbers work
patent siren
floating point error
honest vale
they aren't exact
you only have 32 bits to use and try to represent the whole range of numbers with infinite amount of decimals too ๐
paper kernel
this not anywhere near the error margin
cloud cobalt
Sure looks like it
cursive dirge
pretty much so
but
ue4 editor actually truncates the value a bit
as you don't really want to see the long figure there
patent siren
floating point error is the root of all evil
cloud cobalt
It's also why floating point even exists
honest vale
because it's the root of all evil?
cursive dirge
nah
paper kernel
well, this is the first time I've actually managed to hit a rounding error with static value
cloud cobalt
Because it's a fast approximation
honest vale
1.3 ==1.2999999523162841796875
in floating point math
doesn't take that much to find a value that doesn't line up
cursive dirge
that's fine tho
cloud cobalt
If you need something more accurate than a float, you shouldn't use a float. Floats are as fast as integers on modern systems, that comes at a cost.
There is double - more accurate but same logic
cursive dirge
I use doubles
patent siren
ue4 editor doesnt support doubles iirc
patent siren
but sanitizing a float takes in a double
cursive dirge
only few things on math classes have templates
cloud cobalt
Doubles are also much more expensive, so they're rarely used in game logic because it creeps down to the entire game code, and in most projects you don't really need it.
patent siren
yeahhh
cursive dirge
they really aren't that much more expensive
cloud cobalt
I suspect they'll be hype with all that open world battle royale stuff
honest vale
except with all these open world king of the hill games
cloud cobalt
^
patent siren
well they just use origin shifting
cursive dirge
main disadvantages are that you miss some SIMD optimization possiiblities on SSE2
honest vale
rebasing helps, yea
cursive dirge
and that they consume more space so more cache misses
cloud cobalt
More cache miss, more memory usage, less hardware optimization
UE4 isn't just for PC, too
patent siren
yeah
patent siren
vector3d ftw
cursive dirge
you could handle all the rest in floats
cursive dirge
cm vs m doesn't really change this
due to how floats work
both have somewhat same precision
cloud cobalt
I wouldn't mind having a 64-b depth buffer either, but then people would cry about how it's slower
And useless for all but my own game
devout gulch
@patent siren origin shift is not really solution for multiplayer games
honest vale
I propose 48 bit oneandhalfs
devout gulch
nor is segmeneting or clustering single game world
patent siren
it kind of is
honest vale
afaik Squad is using origin shifting in MP
devout gulch
for origin shifting you can use it only on clients
honest vale
they just have to make sure their RPCs handle it in a correct manner
devout gulch
you miss the point
cursive dirge
it solves the local client animation jitter
patent siren
yeah
devout gulch
server still does have precision issues
patent siren
thats the main issue with floating point error
cursive dirge
it's only one of the issue
patent siren
the server doesnt have to be as precise though
honest vale
origin shifting is mainly for animation jitter imo
cursive dirge
server precision is another
honest vale
so server doesn't matter
patent siren
well it does
cursive dirge
like, your hitboxes will go off, your CMC movement will be less stable on server
honest vale
not in practise
devout gulch
world clustering > you have to figure out all edge cases on what happens on object on cluster edges"
devout gulch
server does matter
cursive dirge
physics will break (but I hope you don't use physx for your multiplayer game anyway)
devout gulch
a lot
especially if have highly authoartive game
where everything is rounded trough server
(like me)
patent siren
we personally havent had an collision or physics issues with rebasing
devout gulch
I do have prediction, but everything is double verfified by server anyway
patent siren
the main issues we had were local stuff like lods not working
cursive dirge
@patent siren you don't see those in client when you rebase, it actually fixed them on client side
patent siren
yeah we have a client side damage model
cursive dirge
but if you can't rebase, like server can't, you get those issues on serverside
and if you have authorative server, server corrects clients
so when server goes bonkers, clients follow
devout gulch
anyway
cursive dirge
client side damage sounds bad in many ways
devout gulch
for antyhing not related to physics simulation (like rigid bodies)
cursive dirge
hope it's not a competitive game
devout gulch
you cloud use fixed point 64 bit coordinates
patent siren
it is a competitive game
devout gulch
instead of doubles
patent siren
overwatch has a client side damage model
cursive dirge
so you just trust the clients?
devout gulch
chances are you don't need sub milimeter collision precision for gameplay
patent siren
we have some server validation
cloud cobalt
@patent siren You really want to run all logic by the server for competitive stuff
patent siren
ehhhh
cloud cobalt
Both on server and client
patent siren
you want great client prediction and server validation
cloud cobalt
On the client for responsiveness, and on the server for safety
patent siren
the server does validate damage
cloud cobalt
The way you said it was more like the client would handle damage
patent siren
client takes a shot
hits a pawn
rpc's to the server
server has some minor checks to make sure it was possible
honest vale
does the server rewind?
cloud cobalt
Just replicate all the damage system
honest vale
or how do you reconcile the lag differences?
patent siren
you really cant
cursive dirge
yeah, that sounds like something that will be exploiled
patent siren
you know what also feels bad
shooting your weapon and its a 100ms behind in a different location
devout gulch
you really want to double verify, client send RPC with hit but server makes it own simulation
100ms is unplayable for shooter anyway
who cares optimizing for it ?
dusk marsh
ehhhhhh?
dusk marsh
i can play overwatch on EU just fine
devout gulch
there are always going to be people unhappy either person who shoot or the one who has been shooted
dusk marsh
(NA)
patent siren
yes
paper kernel
"omg anything above 3ms is unplayable and is lowering my kd"
paper kernel
-any wannabe esport gamer
devout gulch
I don't
devout gulch
i don't trust clients
patent siren
until someone comes up with a better method
that doesnt feel or play like shit let me know
cursive dirge
you can still do damage EFFECTS clientside
paper kernel
until someone invents time travel
devout gulch
my clients are only allowed to predictvely spawn effects
cursive dirge
like have things throw blood splatters, etc
dusk marsh
fun fact: if you play overwatch on high ping, the hitmarker comes in delayed
speaking of damage effects.
patent siren
they do client side damage with some interp
but there are ways to prevent exploitation
patent siren
no it makes complete sense
cursive dirge
I would expect that kind of crap from ubisoft shooter
dusk marsh
if i shoot someone in the head i expect them to die tbh
patent siren
when you shoot
you expect it to go where you shot it from
not where the server thinks it came from
cursive dirge
but your client isn't in realtime
devout gulch
and person who is shooted expect to not be hit because it was 1 meter away
your point ?
cursive dirge
two clients see two different realities
dusk marsh
i have a better perspective on my shot than the person who got shot at
patent siren
yes
dusk marsh
that's why we favor the shooter
patent siren
and until we have instant connections with 0 ping
there will be no "right" way of doing it
dusk marsh
the shooter knows better.
cursive dirge
if you accept boths, when in other other dies and in other vise versa, that wouldn't break the immersion for you?
devout gulch
no the shooter wants to feel better
cursive dirge
think about it
devout gulch
only server have authorative view
cursive dirge
both players shoot other player, in each of their screens they themselves survive and opponent dies
what does server do?
as your client already told both lived
dusk marsh
that's a problem with any client-sided prediction
cursive dirge
and clients told both died
devout gulch
and then one player feels cheated..
cursive dirge
but since the client which you trust (itself) told it didn't die
patent siren
theres no better way
honest vale
it's a tradeoff in the end ๐คท
patent siren
client doesnt tell itself i didnt die
cursive dirge
there's a way better way
dusk marsh
clients don't say whether they live, they say whether other people die
devout gulch
we just telling you we don't do client side damage
cursive dirge
what everyone else is using
cursive dirge
at least, if they have a serious online shooter
cursive dirge
I dunno who has told you that you can do these things client side
as it's first rule in online MP: "never trust the client"
cloud cobalt
Clients should definitly not say if someone dies
They should say : I fired this vector
cursive dirge
only if it's some co-op noncompetitive game, you can trust the client, as then it doesn't matter
patent siren
im sorry until there is something that feels better
there is no way you can convince me
cloud cobalt
"Trust me", I did a MP shooter game once
It was very responsive
Also hacked to death
devout gulch
rampart cheaters will convinve you for sure (;
devout gulch
convince*
cursive dirge
this is main reason why whole server authorization was implemented
dusk marsh
if you're going to cheat in a shooter why not just write an aimbot
patent siren
youre not going to discredit me or tell me i've done one thing once
im not some shitty 8 year old sittin in his moms house playing with unreal
honest vale
@dusk marsh (your nick is annoying to write) see Arma games for reference
patent siren
you dont know me or my experience
dusk marsh
you can call me brackets if it's easier :p
honest vale
they have hacks that spawn grenades around all players
cloud cobalt
We're not 8 either, and we're just giving you some feedback. Take it or don't, doesn't matter really
dusk marsh
that's clearly indicative of much worse problems than favor the shooter
devout gulch
like For Honor quess what ?
patent siren
i know users hatr it when their shot doesnt hit where they aimed
devout gulch
they implemented dedicated server..
cursive dirge
we just recommend you to not do the same mistake
dusk marsh
all favor the shooter does is give people the ability to shoot people who moved behind a wall 100ms ago.
devout gulch
authorative dedicated server
patent siren
well as im not the only member on the team many of the other programmers have agreed on this method
honest vale
so speaking of UE 4
devout gulch
coz 100ms feels better than being cheated by DDoS (for example)
devout gulch
you should make the same simuation on server
patent siren
but the server is not going to be exactly where the client was
devout gulch
and compare what there actor have been based on timestamp from client
paper crest
that moment when you rename the struct, and problems goes away.. well played Epic Games
devout gulch
you rewind entire simulation to that point
honest vale
but UE 4 doesn't have any kind of rewinding framework, does it?
patent siren
it does
honest vale
oh
cursive dirge
it has for movement
cloud cobalt
@patent siren And the fired upon client isn't going to be where the shooter client think it is, so you're just making it better for the shooter, worse for the shootee
cursive dirge
I don't think it has for shooting
devout gulch
^
patent siren
it has for more than movement
it keeps track of all rpc calls
you can literally record all network events and replay it
cursive dirge
I haven't checked shootergame specific things tho
patent siren
like in call of duty
devout gulch
replay system
dusk marsh
the shootee can't tell whether the shooter was aiming at where they were or where they were 0.1s ago. the only thing it affects is cover.
devout gulch
is no the same as prediction...
cloud cobalt
"boys" lol
patent siren
this isnt as simple as you guys think
patent siren
okay?
they have a rewind system
thats what i was talking about
replay system*
the last project i worked on had it
cursive dirge
they also allowed clients to hack the healing system by not doing server side checks
cursive dirge
devout gulch
replay system is not used for prediction
cursive dirge
sure
cursive dirge
but who knows what else people can hack there
patent siren
pubg is one of the largest games ever
cursive dirge
we only see some of these things in public
patent siren
its going to have hackers
dusk marsh
damn yall know better than every popular shooter of last year this is a real 400iq chat
cursive dirge
they constantly ban people from cheating
patent siren
dude yeah
cursive dirge
instead of preventing it in the first place
patent siren
you guys have this whole shooting mechanic over a network figured out
devout gulch
all those cheaters are going to buy game again
patent siren
go talk to blizzard about it
devout gulch
it's better to ban
patent siren
they'll need your help
devout gulch
than prevent
cursive dirge
like mentioned, pubg isn't the greatest example
cloud cobalt
PUBG is the worst example, because cheating is everywhere
cursive dirge
you can't do shit like that and succeed like they did
cloud cobalt
It's just so fun it still works
keen birch
PUBG's a crap game in the right place at the right time, same way Ark is
patent siren
it wasnt a look at pubg and copy
it was a how do i get the best feeling weapon system
cloud cobalt
@patent siren You can stop defending yourself, we heard you the first 41 times
devout gulch
that technically worst games in their respective generes are most popular ;s
keen birch
And you might be underestimating ages here. We're not 8-year olds in our mom's basements ;3
(I'm probably the only one you could get away with calling 'boy')
dusk marsh
favor the shooter is, like, everywhere. idfk wtf yall mean saying "no serious shooter uses it"
patent siren
it was a joke
cloud cobalt
No one cares about anyone's resume here. We're just sharing advice
Take it, don't, no one cares
cursive dirge
unless your game succeeds and is crap
devout gulch
yes we know facor the shooter is popular
cloud cobalt
No point in arguing for half an hour about whether the "boys" are correct
cursive dirge
we want better games
dusk marsh
ye
devout gulch
and just operate within "error" margin
dusk marsh
ye i'm pretty sure everyone was agreed on that
fair violet
TLDR: serverside shooting alone feels unresponsive, but clientside shooting with server validation isnโt quite good enough as it doesnโt compensate for lag. Best method = clientside trace with server rewinding to that time stamp if something was hit to verify
devout gulch
it's not like something with 200ms lag will be able to hit no matter what that would be straight up cheating
dusk marsh
that's where you're losing me.
cloud cobalt
The problem with "hit what you see" on remote clients is that you're technically seeing a 400ms old player
patent siren
you cant punish users for bad ping
cursive dirge
well, this discussion isn't going anywhere either
cloud cobalt
If the lag really is 200ms
languid shard
Hey everyone ! Quick UE4 editor related question, is asset saving speed mainly tied to storage I/O speed ?
fair violet
To add to that- ping caps should switch over to serverside shooting beyond a certain high ping like battlefield does.
fair violet
But serverside shooting for regular ping shouldnโt be used as you have to lead based on ping
patent siren
but also i dont
devout gulch
if you would always prefer client, regardless of their ping, players with really bad ping would have advantage
cloud cobalt
IMHO, you should never let a player with extreme ping provide its own opinion of whether the shot was successful. The server is simply more knowledgeable of this.
dusk marsh
how so?
devout gulch
they are in the past for others, but shoot from the future
patent siren
i mean this stuff is all very game design oriented
dusk marsh
but they can get shot from the future, too, so it doesn't really seem like an advantage to me.
patent siren
lets say i made a game like arma
fair violet
Definitely- high ping players getting old shots allowed is bad and why we can get shot way around corners
cloud cobalt
^
patent siren
id 100% probably just fire the bullet on the server and do basic client side prediction
cursive dirge
@cloud cobalt sorry boy, but your are wrong, it would feel unresponsive to do it any other way 
(had to)
dusk marsh
its ya boi
devout gulch
high ping players can't really be shoot, because you don't see them where they really are (server have authoartive location, but their input is still coming late)
dusk marsh
if you're low ping, though, then you're seeing them at close-to-server location
so why can't you shoot them?
patent siren
oof who wants to talk about why oop is bad
fair violet
You can shoot them, no? @dusk marsh
dusk marsh
that's how it seems to me. @devout gulch said "high ping players can't really be shoot" so i didn't understand what they meant
fair violet
They can if the client that sees them shot them and he has a reasonable ping
steady fractal
WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNREAL-CHAT AND LOUNGE?
patent siren
lounge is like offtopic?
dusk marsh
somehow that's what i always thought you did.
steady fractal
ah, so like a general/miscellaneous channel, but not crazy unrelated stuff
frank escarp
@cloud cobalt have you seen the videos about overwatch networking?
they say they favor the shooter, allways
its client side shooting
but the client sends the server "hey i hit this guy", and the server then rewinds time and checks if that shot was possible
and if it wasnt overriden by a movement skill
patent siren
that is essentially what we do
fair violet
The time stamp is the most important part
If you donโt do that and rewind, you have to increase error tolerance by a large amount
sudden agate
@frank escarp that sounds really weird tbh
fair violet
And itโs even more inconsistent if the enemy moves behind cover on the non rewind verification trace
frank escarp
counter strike does the same
fair violet
@Raildex#6923 almost all shooters follow this logic
frank escarp
except much more acurate becouse small hitboxes
fair violet
Otherwise itโs not responsive enough
frank escarp
but they do the shooting in client side, and then the server checks if the hit was valid
by basically rewinding time, and checking if the raycast goes in the correct position
cloud cobalt
@frank escarp The problem with this is, it favors the shooter, gameplay wise, not just on feelings
frank escarp
and people love it becouse it feels very responsive
fair violet
CSGO, Battlefield, call of duty, overwatch etc etc
frank escarp
when i worked on heavy gear assault we were kind of retarded about super server side shooting
fair violet
Itโs definitely the standard for shooters
dusk marsh
man i'm so glad most shooters get the networking right nowadays.
frank escarp
if your server validation works fine, you should be doing client shooting
but of course, you NEED to validate it
or some smart guy will create a "kill all" cheat
patent siren
dude we want hackers to hack our game
cloud cobalt
I think everyone's in agreement over the fact you're going to verify all of it and kick the offenders to death
What i'm saying is, moving the shooting logic to the client isn't a trivial, make-it-better solution. It's hard to get right on the server validation, and it has an impact on gameplay
fair violet
Basically make the game feel as responsive as possible on client without actually giving the client the power to do anything without server checks similar to movement
honest vale
iirc Unreal 1 had really server side shooting
dusk marsh
it's not trivial by any stretch, but it's still the right call, and necessary for a shooter.
patent siren
i think
honest vale
with a 200 ms lag your firing anims would be delayed by the round trip time to the server and back
patent siren
the most important thing for a competitive shooter or any game is frame rate
which is a bit off topic
honest vale
as in the local client prediction was non-existent
cloud cobalt
To take a cheat example, you could freeze your network locally with a lag switch, aim at someone, fire, release netorking. Almost impossible to detect
fair violet
Even if you played those anims locally instantly and the shot played out on the server it wouldnโt be good enough nowadays @honest vale
cursive dirge
@fair violet everyone agrees that client needs it's own sim but what people disagree is what client can dictate to the server, nobody is telling you shouldn't visually see the shot the moment the client fires a weapon or not to immediately see hit response
honest vale
@fair violet I have always preferred that
cloud cobalt
Obviously pure server side is bad and pure client side is bad, literally no one is arguing about that
fair violet
@cursive dirge Yeah but itโs not only just a cosmetic response but also a potential hit for the server to rewind and validate. Otherwise players feel that they arenโt hitting what is between their crosshairs
Itโs a very interesting topic ๐
honest vale
damn light speed
patent siren
it differs with every game i think
dusk marsh
things with no real solution have some of the coolest research
patent siren
yeee
cloud cobalt
My view is that the move from server-side authority to client-side has dubious value on gameplay, and plenty of abuse opportunities. If you're doing a fast-paced twitch shooter, well, why not
frank escarp
look, you can just boot people past a certain ping
fair violet
Yeah like everything with multiplayer, at some point thereโs a trade off. I tried fully server shooting for my game and it was a joke watching people try to shoot someone who was strafing because they had to lead constantly. Then again no one likes being shot around corners, which is common with client side validated games. So itโs up to the designer to pick a mix of both
frank escarp
or dont trust them that much
honestly, blizzard is blizzard
blizzard does client shooting, blizzard has the most popular online shooter lately
i would look at what they do VERY seriously
becouse blizzard knows what they are doing
also counter strike
patent siren
do you guys remember when pubg first came out
dusk marsh
it's not an entirely unpopular opinion to dislike favor the shooter, but i'm definitely all for favor the shooter here
frank escarp
wich is also client shooting
patent siren
how people could unplug their ethernet
frank escarp
its favor the shooter on both
sudden agate
But what speaks against Client Visual shooting (animation,Sound) and the Server checks and progresses?
patent siren
and smack everyone and then plug it back in
frank escarp
@Raildex#6923 actually thats not that good
patent siren
and theyd all die
frank escarp
its better to relay the effects to server validated
cloud cobalt
@patent siren Yeah that's what I was talking about. Destiny suffers from that too
dusk marsh
and i guess it's safe to say that the most popular modern shooters heavily favor favor the shooter
frank escarp
hitmarkers and such
frank escarp
in overwatch the hitmarkers are actually server-side
patent siren
thats insane
fair violet
If your game is competitive it basically canโt have a solely server authoritative model as it means the amount each player leads differs due to latency and that kills consistency. They might have to lead by 1 meter one game and 4 Meters the next
Pro players need consistent gameplay
cloud cobalt
Destiny 1 at least had lots of cheaters with that method , and it was a console exclusive
frank escarp
you want your hitmarks to be server side becouse if you dont then the player will be like WTF BUT I HIT HIM when the server rollsback and cancels his shot
patent siren
the biggest issue with the game i currently work on
is optimization
we're so gpu capped
its bad
frank escarp
in counter strike that happens with blood
blood only appears when the hit is fully registered
fair violet
Yeah the server validates the client hit and if it accepts it, then the blood fx plays
So the solution is never play damage causing or hitmarker type cosmetics until the server verifies
dusk marsh

fair violet
But itโs ok to do concrete on the client instantly
devout gulch
but yhen you end up with 100ms delay between shoot and effect
frank escarp
sparks and shit are fine
sudden agate
@frank escarp but that's what I suggested. Animation/Sound on client and actual hit recognition on Server.
patent siren
have you guys ever read into how halo did grenades
fair violet
The muzzle flash, shot sound etc can all be local
frank escarp
so the player knows their hit registered
devout gulch
althoug it can be acceptable on highes distance (bullet travel even is it is trace)
patent siren
its incredibly smart
devout gulch
on close distance, not so sure
frank escarp
meanwhile on my new prototype im doing 100% client authority on stuff
becouse i cant be bothered with serious server checks on a PvE game
devout gulch
you doing VR again ? (;
dusk marsh
it's so disorienting playing widow on EU and losing the instant feeling of reward from nailing a headshot
patent siren
oof
dusk marsh
but i can still accept it
frank escarp
@devout gulch yes
frank escarp
my "warframe but vr" shooter failed
i just cant art
but im back to my dungeon crawler concept
with melee combat
for such a thing perfect responsivenes is crucial
or it will be disconected as fuck
devout gulch
depends
frank escarp
so everything client side authority on the parry/melee hit
devout gulch
you do it "very realistic"
frank escarp
server just assumes its valid if the player is near the enemy XD
devout gulch
or you do it Black Desert Online way
dusk marsh
trying to prevent cheats in a VR game seems like a gigantic meme
sudden agate
How would you handle Physical Bullet objects though?
frank escarp
@dusk marsh im also going to do ps4 where people cant attach a debugger, so...
dusk marsh
(^:
patent siren
essentially we shot a bullet on the shooters client
then multicasted to everyone else
patent siren
UT has good example code
frank escarp
its just logical to do that
devout gulch
they have nailed it
patent siren
i wonder what fortnite does
fair violet
Probably a similar approach
devout gulch
probabaly some gameplay task for abilities
dusk marsh
wait rly i had no idea
devout gulch
wich encapsulates entire thing.
frank escarp
snipers have perfect client side hitreg
im sure the bullet is thrown client side, and then mullticasted
and when the bullet hits IN YOUR SCREEN, the server checks if the hit was valid
fair violet
And interpolated toward the servers bullet? Ah or that method works too
frank escarp
doubt it
fair violet
Too fast yeah
fair violet
The validation makes more sense
frank escarp
the projectiles are done clientside, and then replicated to server
but for example, phara rockets are server side
for the explosion
client side rockets will not explode
devout gulch
the "spawn on client, then on server, then interpolate to server" works only for slow moving projectiles
cloud cobalt
Fast moving bullets suck on the render side too, to be honest.
fair violet
Yeah the bullet would be too fast that makes sense
patent siren
ehh
fair violet
I would stick with instant traces for bullets yeah
patent siren
what if you want a milsim
frank escarp
there is a difference beetween fast bullets and traces
specially at medium/high range
fair violet
Unless itโs a super accurate game etc
frank escarp
at a short range you are fine with traces
but fast bullets do have a serious difference in medium/high range
patent siren
i think our projectiles do a trace for like 10m then do bullet drop
devout gulch
then you roll your own physics
patent siren
some other way
dusk marsh
tbh seeing people lead shots in pubg revived my lust for bullets
frank escarp
but they aint instahit
devout gulch
I still rather to "simulation" using trace
frank escarp
becouse if they were instahit they would be 100% fucking broken
patent siren
yeah same
devout gulch
rather than spawning physical projectile
patent siren
projectile components are lame
devout gulch
measure bullet speed traver, distance to hit
fair violet
Call of duty does instant hit snipers and they can feel good too but I like that they went with projectiles in Fortnite
devout gulch
and approximate where the trace would hit at that bullet speed
fair violet
Makes it a lot more skillful
devout gulch
it's still better than spawning bullet
cloud cobalt
Real-life bullets do one meter in one millisecond, so your average 20m shot is barely more than one frame, and half of the lag. Whether it's hitscan or not is purely a point of view, because tehcnically it's really hitscan
patent siren
you know what unreal doesnt do good out of the box
vehicle movement prediction and replication
devout gulch
for Snipers, player actually expect they will be instant hit
patent siren
they just too fast
devout gulch
at least they are in most games
tawdry birch
fortnite weapons are all instahit
instashit //fixed
cloud cobalt
@patent siren There was talk of having prediction for general objects, not just characters, but it's pretty much dead
I implemented vehicle rep myself too
fair violet
Did the udemy course work out or is it still unfinished @cloud cobalt
Good info in there regardless
devout gulch
I can't imagine generic prediction framework, that won't be overarchitected bloat
cloud cobalt
It's unfinished IMHO, but there is great information
fair violet
Apparently he will be back to finish it and do a steam dedicated section so we will see what happens ๐
devout gulch
I've seen single prediction interface implemented on movement component
tawdry birch
@devout gulch well the simplest prediction is just to simpulate multiple ticks in a row in a single ticks
but I guess that can get hard on server for lots of objects ๐ค
Otherwise one has to know sorta the movement formula for object? O_o
cloud cobalt
@fair violet The Steam side was surprisingly easy to handle, even though there is zero doc
fair violet
I really should look into it properly soon haha. You got dedi instances registering with steam and authorizing joining clients?
devout gulch
@tawdry birch my point, how you can predict something in generic way, if you don't have any information about it ? Ie how you can predict something like shooting, or ability activation ?
in generic way
devout gulch
you might be able to extend it to property prediction
but it probabaly would turn out messy
cloud cobalt
@fair violet No, I'm doing simple stuff. Play with friends. The matchmaking / joining / inviting stuff is pretty okay
frank escarp
isnt that what ability syste does?
devout gulch
yes it have prediction build in the system, it's hardly generic (;
fair violet
Ah yeah the listen setup is straightforward. Hopefully can replicate the same setup with dedicated instances
devout gulch
@tawdry birch the movement prediction in character component is complex as hell
I don't really want something similiar to bloat actors even more
rose bison
sudden agate
Someone mentioned GameplayAbilities. Can they do more than spells and such?
What is considered an ability? If I can remodel my movements into GameplayAbilities, I would like to do it. (Climbing is a GameplayAbility?)
devout gulch
@rose bison it adds complexity to code
@sudden agate there is deidcated channel for gameplay abilities
but yes
if you want, you can treat everything as ability
sudden agate
that sounds pretty awesome ๐
devout gulch
that's what I do (though I don't use build in system)
cursive dirge
re: sniper delay, there's actually a long delay on fortnites sniper shots, you can think of it as bullet travel time but in fact, you could immediately send the shoot event to server when the player fires the trigger
also, there's a clear delay on their hits even at closer range
tawdry birch
purely server side bullet?
cursive dirge
nah
tawdry birch
I mean client sends fire input to the server
Server spawns a bullet and it gets spawned on client via rep
or client still does visual bullet spawn just to cover up latency?
cursive dirge
yeah, both client and server would sim it
tawdry birch
oh man it's so hard to do semi-authoritive client in current replication paradigm (IMHO)
Or maybe it's just me
I really would love the repl code for Owner/Server/Remote be separate in 3 different classes components or something
it hurts my brain to read plain code and keep track of which method goes where X_x and in which concept it's running*
cursive dirge
it's in already
I mean, in the github
so it's definitely going to be in 5.5
glare?
remove spec and make it fully rough, or just use unlit material
if you don't need lighting for the background, definitely use unlit
?
you still feed in the texture?
it probably needs to go to emissive
that's not unlit
it says "Default Lit"
show your unlit material
no
the UE4 material
the one you showed
but when you have unlit setup
sudden agate
its not unlit
cursive dirge
...
I'm pretty sure you don't get Base Color enabled with unlit materials, meaning it will not use that input channel
sudden agate
change "Default Lit" to "Unlit"
cursive dirge
so you need to wire it into emissive instead
it actually works on default lit too
but it's just more expensive
see
it's greyd out
the wire and input on material
move the wire to Emissive Color
and boom, let there be light ๐
different material modes enable and disable different inputs there
this happens if you use masked or translucent too
so be aware of what's greyed out and what is white there, in the nodes input
if you want to keep using the default lit, you can just do the other thing I told
put spec to 0 and roughness to 1
sudden agate
@light lintel how does it look now ?
opal coral
okay so I have a long running problem of issues when FPS is not ~120, most notably everything speeds up/slows down, moon gravity, can barely jump and so on.
I'm multiplying any variables that change on Tick with GetWorld()->DeltaTimeSeconds, have also tried GetDeltaSeconds(), but same results.
any suggestions for what I can try?
not using physics, moving and tracing manually
cursive dirge
you need to show your movement code
but it does sound like you apply deltatime wrong
opal coral
@cursive dirge it's a little much, but hopefully understandable. line 120 is where the actual translation happens

Has anyone tried reinstalling windows, salvage their previous Unreal Engine Version and managed to have it running again? Everytime I'm reinstalling UE 4.18 I'm getting a FC02-5 error, saying this in logs: "[2018.02.05-14.51.06:182][563]LogBuildPatchServices: Error: FBuildPatchFileConstructor: Could not create Engine/Source/Developer/AITestSuite/Private/MockAI/MockAI_BT.cpp"
tawdry birch
@tame delta ehm are you sure you have write access to installation directory?
tame delta
yeah, put the entire directory to r/wable
tame delta
ha, fair enough, unticked read-only on the entire 4.18 folder is what I meant
tawdry birch
oh yeah that
I mean you know after reinstalling windows it could've happened that you're not full admin on system or something
so that your user account can't access the directory where you've placed ue?
tame delta
I made sure I've got full owner privileges
tawdry birch
btw I assume by the error code that it's launcher who's giving you error?
tame delta
Yup
tawdry birch
see if you can run UE4Editor.exe directly from the folder?
tame delta
epic games launcher doesn't have a good way to "take" an existing install, it's very hacky you have to start the download cancel it once it's done with initialization, move all the files to the "install" directory it creates, resume
tawdry birch
yeah I thought about that too...
but is it possible to successfully launch editor from the folder? ๐ค

Hey all, how are washed out graphics like these created? Can someone show me a sampe texture or idea behind it?

Well please have a look here at a model and shader created by others for my project
I'm trying to achieve a 'manga book cover' look for all the art.
tawdry birch
@verbal laurel I think a place to start with is a "cell shading" or "cartoon shading"
tame delta
Apparently I'm missing the Windows SDK v8.1 for compilation, I'll try that first
verbal laurel
Everybody keeps saying that, maybe I should just trust them.
So you think a toon shader with that other shader will help me out?
The combination of the two*
I don't want it to look like all the other anime games though.
shy sonnet
anyone compile 4.18.2 with vs 2017 15.5.6 ? My computer updated and now I have that and the editor is hanging on start up ๐
tawdry birch
@verbal laurel those two names are basically the same thing
cell is just a fancy name for some artistic technique which I forgot does what exactly xD
tame delta
@Chimรฆra#7542 the first screenshot you sent doesn't use a toon/cell shader, or the black outline. I'm afraid if you use those you will get that vibe from all other anime games using or borderlands
tawdry birch
or you can just design you models in a way so they look cartooney
like "painted textures" etc
tame delta
What your issue with the webm you sent, it looks good to me
I personally wouldn't add cel shading or that black outline to it
north mountain
Looks like you'd want full bright textures that only take the lighting info of particle effects
Would definitely have to paint your textures a specific way
tawdry birch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cel_shading
also you probably can do cel shading without that black outline
verbal laurel
@tawdry birch painted texture?
And to the GIF I sent earlier there's no issue with the style I just want it to look a bit more 'anime'. Right now it's a bit realistic.
It looks like a real world type game and I want people to get this 'anime' or slightly 'cartoon' vibe from it. But I don't like how a lot of cel-shaded stuff turns out, really. It often looks cheap and easy.
I'm also interested in this too
It has a blend of realism and a blend of anime.
north mountain
cursive dirge
@opal coral you have DeltaSeconds applied there many times
only do it before you move the actor finally
if you insist in doing it separately for each step, you have to be careful and remember to do it for each additional thing and never multiply the result again with delta seconds
north mountain
Looks like you want to do hand painted textures with the player models only casting shadows on the ground
verbal laurel
Edalse shadows will be important unfortunately so everything will need one
So hand-painted eh?
tropic pilot
im still having problems ๐ฆ
obsidian nimbus
if u make a duplicate mesh outline u can sculpt it and drive it with morph targets
opal coral
@cursive dirge hmm I see. I guess I should keep it only on increasing values, and apply it once when offsetting the actual object. is multiplying DeltaTime several times really that bad?
cursive dirge
it is if you don't know why you do it
well, discord can't embded that
but anyway velocity = delta distance / delta time
so to get distance traveled during deltatime, you multiply velocity by delta time
if you just randomly add more multiplications to that equation, it'll not do what you expect it to do
so either do velocity1 * deltatime + velocity2 * deltatime + velocity3 * deltatime
or (velocity1+velocity2+velocity3) * deltatime
but don't do (velocity1 * deltatime + velocity2 * deltattime ) * deltatime like you do in your code now
ok, discord messed up the formulas, had to edit
tawdry birch
you only double the delta time when you do
acceleration * deltatime * deltatime
verbal laurel
Thanks for your help guys!
opal coral
but if you say your target velocity is 10, and you lerp towards it with delta time * some acceleration, do you apply the delta time after applying it to the acceleration?
tropic pilot
guys ๐ can somebody help me i THINK i have a problem with collision between rollingball character and the roadmesh i use in the spline :/ for some reason when i reach high speed with the ball between section there is a invisble bump that makes the ball "jump" -.- and it's annoying me and i can't figure out what the hell the problem is...
tawdry birch
velocity += acceleration * delta time;
move delta = velocity * delta time;
cursive dirge
"only double" is kinda stretch when you think what really happens
cursive dirge
if you run at 60 fps, your deltatime will be 1/60 = 0.0166666
0.0166666 * 0.0166666 will not be 0.0333332
it'll be something really tiny
tawdry birch
@tropic pilot if your collision mesh for road segment is too simple... then it couldn't be bend enough exact around the spline so you end up with a sharp transition
cursive dirge
(0.00027777555556)
tawdry birch
the solution is to make a bit more complicated collision mesh for road segment, or... (not recommended) use visual model for collision
tropic pilot
@tawdry birch so i need a complex
opal coral
I'm just trying to wrap my head around it like.. if you get a slow frame and your delta time is 1, you gain a lot of acceleration to make up for the time you wait for the next frame - either that, or you go at a fixed acceleration step and instead move the player further (with delta time) - but leave the acceleration lower than what it would have been if it had accounted for the frame lag...
wouldn't it be correct in this case to apply it to the acceleration and not the velocity?
cursive dirge
your deltatime can only be 1 if you have 1 frame per second
opal coral
or if you had a one second long frame lag
tawdry birch
in fact it's usually applied to both as I wrote above
velocity += acceleration * delta time;
move delta = velocity * delta time;
that's typical movement code for an object with acceleration
keen birch
^
opal coral
yeah that's how I've usually done it too
tawdry birch
also if you get like 1 frame in a 5 seconds (which is like really unplayable state of game you know)
you may end up penetrating some objects on the way
and there is a workaround for cases like that in a physics engines (see substepping in UE4)
@opal coral you do it correctly then ๐
there is also some really weird stuff like Verlet integration
which is more complicated and in my opinion still shit because it still can fail for user controllable characters ๐
opal coral
that's alright and all, I'm just wondering if there's some general rule for when delta time can be applied on top of something that already used deltatime - which is what I've been doing by mistake (not just with acceleration), and which gives me moon gravity and all kinds of effects when running a different frame rate
or, hopefully that's what causes it. haven't made all the changes yet to check
tawdry birch
yeah if you'll do delta time * delta time by accident the you'll end up with exponential relation between framerate and distance traveled

half the framerate = twice the speed
hm that could be interesting gameplay mechanics in a way ๐ค

I've been looking for RTS tutorials for UE, but all I've been finding is based around placing the buildings freely, without rhyme or reason. Is there a tutorial series for a typical city builder game, where everything needs to be placed along roads, and pawns need roads to move?
tawdry birch
@opal coral why would you swap dt for constants? :U
opal coral
@tawdry birch I replaced the delta times that weren't supposed to be there with constants, so I wouldn't have to change my precious (probably incorrect) variables for now. however I left delta time at acceleration and the final velocity in the end
but I guess there's something I've done wrong that can't really be pointed out here, I'll just spend some time really figuring out what's happening
tawdry birch
you either replace dt with 1 (hence remove it entirely) or why would you do 0.017? that makes no sense you don't see real picture because of that 0.017
it maybe alright but because of 0.017 you think that your values is off?
opal coral
I just thought if I replaced a variable that is floating close to 0.017 (delta time at 60 fps), with an unchanging one, I would.. hm. well, I wanted to retain the speeds when factoring out delta time where it shouldn't be. but it's probably wrong as soon as I really think about that ๐
tropic pilot
im out of ideas how to fix this @tawdry birch :/
vale osprey
@opal coral thatโs not how it works. Delta time have to be proportional to how often your movement function is called, you canโt just replaced it with constant if your function is not called at fixed rate. More over physics calculations depend heavily on delta time and what โworksโ with one delta time can completely brake at lower or higher delta time as all movement is approximated with lines.
@tropic pilot there is one setting you can try
Look in project settings - physics for minimal and maximum collision contact distance, set them both to something like 0.002. It might have some unknown implications
But otherwise, for something like a road, just use complex as simple
tropic pilot
Max Physics Delta time?
vale osprey
No, max and min contact โsomething โ
There is discussion thread on forum about this specific problem

vale osprey
@opal coral to illustrate what I mean by delta time. Imagine in Max/Maya/Blender you create a circle or cylinder primitive. One of the parameters is number of sides, the more sides the close shape will be to ideal circle. That number of sides is basically your delta time, more specifically the length of individual side segment. The higher it is the less it looks like a circle, the smaller your delta time the closer to ideal circle you get.
When delta time changes from frame to frame, you are not event getting a circle anymore but a skewed spiral.

@livid haven Sorry for the tag, ran into a relatively urgent problem due to a project deadline (just tell me not to if you don't want to be tagged). I'm currently relying on a C++ plugin (Rama's Victory stuff) to access the WorldType (in editor or not) through Blueprints, but I can't have that dependency. Any way for me get that state through Blueprint? (Edit: Going to try and work around this by setting a bool on BeginPlay, though that is a bit hacky. Could it just get exposed to BP? Seems like a pretty straight-forward thing. This is guaranteed to be going to give issues once I forget that I did this in BeginPlay - Edit 2: BeginPlay stuff works, request still stands though)
opal coral
that's a good illustration - I just didn't pay attention to how I threw delta time around. now I'm extra aware of how it doesn't make sense to apply it twice. I didn't realize the proportions of which it would affect the gameplay when the framerate changed. I guess I thought an extra delta time would at the very least not cause any harm, if perhaps redundant - so I'll definitely stop using it as a safety measure and be more mindful about it =)
