nm, its on the normal unreal twitch
wild kestrel
@fierce tulip the looks more fatter then you :p
livid haven
Been hearing mention of the Paragon textures not being "export"-able.
But... I know of no DRM-like mechanism for UE4 assets
grim ore
They added them into 4.19
livid haven
And at the end of the day, this data is in memory or on your GPU, in some form.
grim ore
It's just a flag on the asset so you can compile out the check with source if you really wanted to. Probably had to do with the otoy stuff
worn granite
I mean that's just an argument against all DRM
livid haven
Off the top of my head, I can't think of how you could conceivably encrypt these things and still be able to use them - without some kind of crazy hardware support.
fierce tulip
@livid haven there is some code in engine someone digged up that could lock exporting
livid haven
Surely it's absolutely trivial and superficial though and not actually secure?
grim ore
It's not encryption it's just a flag. It's minimum effort to stop people from hitting export.
livid haven
I mean, effectively turning off a button, not actually making the process impossible.
fierce tulip
its probably just something they had to do to allow the giving away of these semi-by-others-copyrighted textures
livid haven
Question is, what's the license say?
wild kestrel
They would capture you on using assets ageints licence either way
so it is block to stop the temptation..... also probably to prevent use of models in games like VrChat
i mean in easy way
worn granite
you could write a tool yourself but if you tried to distribute it I imagine you'd get to know epic lawyers pretty quickly
So everyone who wants to "export" would have to do it themselves
all about adding barriers, however small.
@plush yew how is that casting wrong?
livid haven
No, I get it. Just surprised that the assets were released at all, further surprised about the absolutely minimal effort at "DRM".
worn granite
Oh
Yeah, I remember you didn't think they'd do it @livid haven
Oh, well that's cause the cast fails @plush yew
that's still not a "wrong" cast
the problem is elsewhere
livid haven
I was usually referring to open sourcing the whole thing, but I thought it was unlikely (but believable) that assets would be released, just like Infinity Blade.
worn granite
go ask #blueprint
lavish garden
i would like to see the gameplay blueprint, if there is one.. doubt there is tho..
livid haven
A lot of people were petitioning or asking if Epic would make Paragon in to some kind of community project or give the game to another studio - neither of which make any sense to anyone with a lick of business sense.
worn granite
Well I figured by open source they actually meant releasing the assets
See people misuse that and there was talk of the assets
wild kestrel
@livid haven 1. Epic already relesed ton of assets from there games and demos in the past :p 2. again there no need for DRM, it's hard to hide illigal use of assets
fierce tulip
there is now a dev room on the twitch stream where we devs are less annoyed by fortnite peeps
livid haven
Aye. Which is why I generally got in to the argument and made sure people really meant giving access to everything.
@wild kestrel Assets, yes. Source, no. Which was always my point - the former is possible though unlikely (lo and behold, it happened), the latter is unbelievable.
wild kestrel
It's probably to prevent export for games like VRChat, people there have very limited game devlopment skills, they dont even know what is normal map or specular map, this kind of DRM is enouth to stop them
flat pilot
@livid haven did you know about this ?
shy kiln
No there is no reason why a community group couldn't go ahead and clone Paragon. They will just have to do the code themselves, but the assets are ready for them to start.
livid haven
Yes. I mentioned it several times during our discussion, @flat pilot. 😛
flat pilot
hwat
shy kiln
Glad to see the Web format moving forward!
flat pilot
I thought you were talking about third party crap
opal ocean
I cant seem to get the paragon minion to ragdoll... not sure why
livid haven
@shy kiln Yes, which means Epic effectively hurt itself in being able to make anything more with the Paragon IP, as they've effectively made it kind of public-domain in a sense (but not literally).
@shy kiln It's not pushing the web format forward. This has been around forever.
Game have been using embedded browsers for the longest time. They're extremely limited, as one might imagine.
It's Chromium.
Or "Chromium Embedded Framework"
CEF3
flat pilot
well it reads html css and js, what do you want more ?
livid haven
Actual integration?
uneven fractal
is there a node for frame shifting an array?
livid haven
I'm not sure what you think CEF is offering you...
... you're effectively running a stripped down Chrome in UE4.
In about as simplistic a way as that sounds.
livid haven
Aye. It's not a UI solution for UE4, it's literally just being able to open a page and render it/interact with it.
livid haven
Dunno, but yes, there are other 3rd party plugins and solutions for leveraging web tech in UE4.
wild kestrel
I think you could able to use it as UI but i would require more C++ work
uneven fractal
not really seeing the use case for a browser in game either
livid haven
Not really. I mean, you have practically zero interop between whatever is in the browser and the rest of UE4.
Oh, there are use cases, they're just extremely limited more often than not.
uneven fractal
I mean most games already have the steam web interface on them?
livid haven
If you're on Steam, sure.
wild kestrel
UE4 can't access that
worn granite
Yeah so anything you need a browser for in your game, you gotta do
uneven fractal
yeah but that takes out the use case of being able to conveniently use a browser without tabbing out
livid haven
The motivation is not to support casual internet browsing without alt-tabbing.
It's being able to access existing web pages from within the game.
Every time I've seen games do it, it's for anything involving security/transactions/credentials.
uneven fractal
hmm I can sort of see that for in game mechanics that rely on data from the internet
livid haven
That's not what it's used for either. 😛
uneven fractal
like say a crypto simulator that uses realtime crypto currency data or something
wild kestrel
EVE had interesting use of web browser which integrated game APIs to it :>
livid haven
Aye, EVE did actually use it's browser as a general purpose browser without alt-tabbing.
wild kestrel
corporation could able to do web pages with game integration
uneven fractal
or maybe an amazon vr webstore with the item and then a terminal for the web page behind it
livid haven
I'll be you practically any MMO-like game that has microtransactions uses an embedded browser for its store.
If not for the store, then for the checkout process.
wild kestrel
This is Unity example, but VRChat is using webrowser to display videos
livid haven
It's really, more often than not, a matter of leveraging existing web tech that needs to be accessible outside of the game client in the first place.
wild kestrel
in world
flat pilot
in my case, the game entirely evolves in a simulated windows-type desktop, how would using CEF be wrong ?
plush yew
how can a beginner learn logic in Ue when there aren't a lot of tutorial videos?
you can't say "just use it"
worn granite
's what I did
plush yew
that only works if you are at least intermediate in coding
fierce tulip
there are a lot of tutorial videos
worn granite
there are tho
vale halo
Looking at blueprints or c++?
worn granite
Well, I didn't really watch a lot of them, I got UE4 and just jumped in.
vale halo
If it's BP, the UE4 tutorial series is pretty great from what I've heard, and if it's c++, I'd recommend learning plain c++ first
worn granite
But there are lots of them
vale halo
But yeah - just jumping in will probably learn you the most once you know the basics
plush yew
https://www.youtube.com/user/Brackeys/videos <- this is a lot https://www.youtube.com/user/UnrealDevelopmentKit/videos < <this is just features. nothing to learn for a amateur
worn granite
well then maybe don't compare a brand channel with a community/creator channel
plush yew
unreal engine offers no practical tutorials
vale halo
https://www.youtube.com/user/UnrealDevelopmentKit/playlists?sort=dd&view=50&shelf_id=17 is pretty good
plush yew
just take hihm https://www.youtube.com/user/VirtusEdu/videos the only one who does tutorials
flat pilot
what language have you already worked with ?
plush yew
and that isnt much
wild kestrel
IF you ask me UE4 is so huge that it's hard to document it complitly
vale halo
What's wrong with the UE4 intro to the editor/bp/etc. series?
plush yew
@worn granite i tried this mathew.... nothing for beginners
azure shore
*edits skeleton
worn granite
how is this nothing for beginners
plush yew
@vale halo its short and teaches you almost nothing
azure shore
*whole aim offset breaks
fierce tulip
https://unreal-engine-4.zeef.com/tom.looman and thats just the tip of the iceberg
vale halo
It covers specific nodes, so it's more of a watch what you want if you ask me
Yeah, Tom's stuff is great ❤
worn granite
Do you mean complete novice?
uneven fractal
yeah I can't imagine trying to use bp's without understanding OOP first
worn granite
Mate, if you want a complete novice series on how to program
plush yew
@vale halo ehm... https://www.youtube.com/user/UnrealDevelopmentKit/playlists?sort=dd&view=50&shelf_id=17 is almost nothing... fast trough this..
vale halo
Well.....ammm....why don't you start creating a game and look up things when you ned it?
worn granite
then come back to UE4
plush yew
watch what you need isn#t for beginners
vale halo
And yeah, if you want c++ I could highly reccomend thenewboston's content
wild kestrel
@uneven fractal haha you will be suppriced, there ton of people who use blueprint and have no idea that they make classes :p
worn granite
bucky is p cool
plush yew
ofc i want c++. bp is crap
worn granite
BP is crap, but you're in no position to judge
plush yew
bp is nothing else than code. its not suited for beginners.
uneven fractal
meh I prefer bp and I do know how to code in c++ and java
wild kestrel
i even needed to make video explaining basics of objects and classes because lot o people in AnwserHub didn't have idea about that
fierce tulip
about to wonder if the guy is a troll
vale halo
I disagree about it being crap, but in that case learn c++ first if you ask me
worn granite
I can give you a rundown sometime if you like
wild kestrel
aspecially in early days
plush yew
@wild kestrel show me the vids
worn granite
of why
vale halo
I know it may sound boring/not worth a lot, but understanding basic c++ will really help once you get into unreal 😃
worn granite
@plush yew go watch thenewboston's series.
vale halo
Is currently relearn plain c++ as I got way to used to UE4-specific stuff
worn granite
like seriously
plush yew
@vale halo and after 10 hours of basic c++ i shall learn c++ software dev. right? like 3 years?
azure shore
*fixes it by basically clicking two things
vale halo
(Though....don't do the same as me and do it in a week 😛 )
wild kestrel
vale halo
I'd say it's more of a process
azure shore
🙂
vale halo
Learn something new, follow the examples, and then try and apply it to a real world problem
plush yew
so someone said that https://www.youtube.com/user/VirtusEdu/videos is a vlog?
vale halo
Like....I've been coding half of my life now (I think) and I'm still learning new things every single day
worn granite
be completely new
want tutorials
join discord channel
complain about lack of tutorials
people link you a bunch of stuff
???
get good tuts with no effort
yeah its a vlog at best
fight me 1v1
plush yew
i am not nwe here
uneven fractal
you could in theory learn bp's by just watching a small series on oop concepts too
plush yew
i am since y ears a member
vale halo
I wanted to create a c++ intro series for free, but it takes SO much time to create that all
uneven fractal
so your not like "wuts a class"
fierce tulip
tom loomans c++ tutorials.
vale halo
As much as I love giving, I think a 5-10 minute video cost me 5-10+ hours 😂
wild kestrel
If you learn bueprints you already know a lot about C++ in UE4, you just don't know it
worn granite
Its actually worse than a tutorial, he just has loads of content
azure shore
oh cool
vale halo
And if you have something like 10 bucks, Ben's Udemy course is pretty good too I believe
azure shore
CODING YOUR OWN GAMES???
flat pilot
hey guys I want to learn c++ in depth but with no knowledge what so ever, it must be under 10 hours thx
azure shore
sorry
livid haven
Learning OOP and basic programming concepts in general is critical to understanding C++ OR Blueprints.
plush yew
@vale halo only one course won't make you good
wild kestrel
i mean over 95% nodes in bluepriutns are C++ function binds
vale halo
No offense, but that probably won't work
Correct - you need to actually do stuff to get good (generally)
worn granite
you're not gonna become good off learning content
vale halo
^
fierce tulip
years and years of practice to get good
worn granite
stop trying to find the holy grail
plush yew
nono. first you need peoople who teach you everything.
vale halo
You don't need to know everything to get started 😃
worn granite
Promise you, all those unity vids won't make you a good unity dev
livid haven
Blueprints may be visual, but you're still dealing with the flow of execution and an object oriented paradigm - classes with behavior and data, encapsulation, and so on.
vale halo
Tries and thinks of a good analogy
worn granite
go watch all of them and then make a complex game in unity
nothing else
promise you you'll run into a wall and have to start smaller
vale halo
Yeah - just get started with the basics and try creating things. Then when you get stuck, search for the relevant things, and if you really can't figure it out ask for help 😃
worn granite
^ doing that for a while makes you good
frosty bloom
Could always pay someone to tutor you?
worn granite
watching youtube can only go so far
uneven fractal
even tutoring won't help much if you don't understand WHY your doing certain things
worn granite
The tutor can help things click though
doesn't mean they will, sometimes you've just gotta figure it out on your own
plush yew
.__.
uneven fractal
though all the people that are pro programmers are probably getting paid 100,000 -200,000 programming instead of tutoring newbies
plush yew
i think ill learn c++ now... where did i stop last time...
vale halo
Also, please don't let this all scare you @plush yew ^^ It's all quite easy once you get a hang of it, which means that if you start with some basic stuff and then try and create simple things you'll learn and get good at it (pretty) fast 😃
vale halo
And yeah - don't rush it....c++ is really useful, even for things not releated to gamedev
uneven fractal
obviously your not a real programmer if your not making 6 figures 😛
plush yew
yuk.. pointers...
vale halo

uneven fractal

vale halo
That highly depends
plush yew
how about a new tutorial series
uneven fractal
pretty sure the new youtube rules killed off all the smaller tutorial makers too
worn granite
You know I thought about making some tuts
plush yew
o.o
vale halo
And that's kinda true
plush yew
@worn granite are you the fry guy who i talked with f ew weeks ago?
worn granite
Lot of time investment for not much return
wild kestrel
@plush yew easy to say, i was attepting to record this many times
plush yew
you#re fry
vale halo
But the main thing I hate about those changes is that it hurts findability
vale halo
Also, even if you were to get 10-20 bucks per video...if it's anything like what it used to take me that's still 1-2 bucks per hour, which is barely anything....especially for the tedious work it can be
worn granite
the only reason I'd do a series is if I could either make money on it or use it as a reference that I know what I'm talking about.
Or maybe if I don't have to pay bills or something and have a sudden altruistic streak
wild kestrel
yea :p and as you can see i not good in talking, i mean i lose topic very quickly and thigns end up in total chaos
vale halo
Also, doing some quick checking, CPM around small(er) tech content is about 0.70, so even less than a dollar per 1k views

small basin
If I have a level blocked out quickly with BSP volumes, and I want to hide them in game later, how would I do that? Brushes don't seem to have the same "hidden in game" option that other meshes have...
floral heart
When in doubt, livestream nothing at all. Point camera at grass growing.
small basin
Converting them all to static meshes seems really unnecessary especially if I want to edit it later and thus still need the BSPs
floral heart
@small basin I don't have a real answer, but you can use subtractive meshes like bug spray.

Hmm, no, I don't think so. That's pretty easy to be careful about.
Like for me, it would never happen. I only install under one Root Directory any projects
It's called UnrealProjects
All I know is that they have put in some requests to ensure that stuff doesn't happen

@tame flint here is the basics for it https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/490298/umg-get-widget-position.html but the key for UMG is the parent controls the layout of the children. Only some parents allow absolute positioning of that is a goal.

@grim ore I just want to clarify. Do you think that using a UMG for my crosshair is a good approach?
I mean you did it in your fps series, however I'm using it on a third person character so the y-axis is slightly offset so it doesnt fall on top of my character
tame flint
sorry
trim trail
what>?
fierce tulip
he's talking about stream @tame flint
tame flint
ok 😀

Niagara has been out, albeit buggy, for several versions now. Haven't gotten to anything new then?
wild kestrel
The way niagara works it can be used outside of particuels to od any GPU computation, so there potential to mvoe it outside particules
grim ore
@tame flint UMG would probably be the best place for a UI element like a crosshair unless you want it to be in the world
and there is no real problem with having it offcenter as long as your line traces that you use account for that or any other actions on that point
tame flint
@grim ore i need to get a a reference to the crosshair variable
i will try to figure this out
grim ore
you can turn any widget into a variable by clicking the variable option in the umg editor in the top right. Assuming you create your main widget somewhere and it has this crosshair in it when you create the widget you would save out that widget to a variable then you can get the crosshair widget from there

Hi, I'm trying to use GetHitResultUnderCursorByChannel in BP
it works perfectly on the static geometry, but it completely ignores any actor
like if I click on myself or on another Actor in the level
it just goes through, and then gives me as result the geometry behind the actor
tame flint
@grim ore problem is I cannot access the variable in my event graph
floral heart
suddenly thinking of March of the Froblins.
grim ore
@tame flint is the crosshair an image or something inside a main umg widget?
frank escarp
bruhhh holy overkill
frank escarp
arbitrary data?
grim ore
@tame flint and at some place you use the create widget node to add it to your screen? If so save the output as a variable and that gets you a reference to your main widget. From there you can use that to then get the crosshair varaible
frank escarp
holy shit they are trying to create the ultimate particle system
brb gonna make my whole game in niagara
funny enough that is possible
grim ore
the funny part is the new Unity VFX system is pretty similar to this

@fierce tulip pinging you 😃
wild kestrel
yea :p
frank escarp
with niagara one can do much more modular and reusable emitters
wild kestrel
you can sell maduals like materials and material functions
grim ore
yeah he mentioned at the summit getting audio into it was one of their plans for visualization stuff
fierce tulip
@frank escarp yea would work so much better for my impact pack
wild kestrel
only thing they didn't show was curve parameter and sampling and didn't mention vector field sampling, if they are still there :p
floral heart
"you could write to an arbitrary data interface as well"
fierce tulip
floral heart
We made an interface for compute shaders. We think the visual fx artists will like it.
fierce tulip
you think? XD
wild kestrel
yes
fierce tulip
wild kestrel
from what i see this interface can be used beyond particules
i mean niagara scripts takes that parameter map and out map and it can cary any information, dont need ot be used for particles
floral heart
It could, unless a yeti appears.
fierce tulip
particles, remove the u shadow :p

@grim ore the place where i used (create widget) and pin out the return value to promote to a variable there are a lot of options. Which selection do i go with Get crossHair
plush yew
what does touch 1-10 do in input under project settings (it's not in the learning tab)
we havent had an answer since 2013
floral heart
My guess, touchscreens.
plush yew
yeah but what is teh function of each one,? 10 finger touch ?
grim ore
after the create widget you would promote to variable the output so it creates and sets a variable you can use as a reference later. Anytime you want the crosshair you can drag in that variable from your list and get it then drag off it and get your crosshair variable
tame flint
when you say output do you mean return variable lol? Sorry i just now switched from unity
grim ore
https://i.imgur.com/IL3ArcY.png , roughly something like this
the output from the create, the blue pin, would be saved as a variable for later use. Then whenever you want later you can use that variable (a reference to your widget you created) and then grab anything inside it if you exposed it like making your crosshair image a variable
tame flint
@grim ore , hey sorry to bother you but seeing as the crosshair is a 2d coor system, do i need to somehow combine it with get forward vector node?
or some other node node in wolrd space

so this whole real-time ray-tracing sounds like something that won't really work in the real world yet
"runs in real time" sounds like "runs without any game logic on a $10k rig"

Yeah, it was a little ambitious was they said that games could be shopping with it this year. I mean, they might be able to have it as an option, but practically nobody would be able to use it.

grim cargo
how to fix this ? when i step the trigger box i teleport in to another location
the another location is (cube)
gusty widget
You have not specified what needs to be teleported
I see you are working in the level blueprint? You need a reference to the character that is assigned to your player and connect it to target
You can also cast the actor that is touching the trigger to your character and then teleport it
On another note I wouldn't recommend doing this in the level blueprint though
Only if it is a very level specific action
You can cast the other actor to character and then teleport it😃
gusty widget
Another note, if the cube has collision it might either not teleport or teleport on top of it

In C++ I'm still out of luck, yeah
We have "2.000,21" as numbers
I think english uses "2'000.21"?
Or something like that

@gaunt raptor You might also be able to fix it with a postprocessing volume, just an idea you could try possibly. Not sure if it will be able totally create the desired effect though.
wary wave
you've been able to localise numbers in the editor for a long time?

Yeah, English uses either 2'000.21
Or 2,000.21
Does BSP render on CPU?
(So mainly, is it a reasonable hypothesis that replacing my BSPs with normal meshes will reduce my CPU draw time significantly?)
gusty widget
I think they are indeed heavier relyant on CPU
So that logically that would be the case I think 🤔
gusty widget
I think best way to find out is to test it 😜
keen birch
About to do that x3
gusty widget
Haha 👌
keen birch
I really use ;3 :3 and x3 too much
gusty widget

This doesn't quite add up for me
There's nothing there
Behind me there's exclusively instanced meshes and grass
wary wave
foliage isn't culled
keen birch
Isn't it?
wary wave
no
gusty widget
Maybe you can also see further when the BSP is gone which makes it go up, just guessing though
wary wave
it's more efficient to just always render it, than do the occlusion pass
keen birch
Alright then
wary wave
bit counterintuitive, but makes sense really
keen birch
Yeah, it does
gusty widget
It is culled beyond the view distance it has from the player right?
obsidian nimbus
hmm isnt foliage hyrar instanced and gets culled?
wary wave
well, it's easy to test
use the freeze rendering console command and turn around
IIRC, foliage only gets distance culled
keen birch
Foliage is being culled
Though that could be because the terrain chunks they're on are being culled
wary wave
you can also use stat initviews I think to see culling stats

Is there any way to reduce resolution at which AO is rendered?
rose bison
depends on your AO method
SSAO scales with resolution
I don't think you can downscale that independently
gusty widget
@halcyon rose If you really want to do it accurately, my first thought would be to edit the mesh that is hit during runtime. This will be a lot of work to get correctly though. FDynamicMeshBuilder and https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Procedural_Mesh_Generation might get you in the correct direction. But you should not create meshes, only edit their vertexes/faces on impact.
Another idea I can come up with is some sort of morphing of the mesh.

pseudo valve
Stupid question: Why is Front view in viewport is facing XZ plane when +X is forward?
fierce tulip
moving to the right is often considered forward movement in 2d games?
iunno
rando guess
pseudo valve
those 2d games are viewed from side view, not from front view. These even called side-scrollers
fierce tulip
they scrol to the side because you look at them from the front
else they be walking towards you
pseudo valve
you can't call this view front and moving aside from this projections going forward at the same time, you can either call it front view and go right or left or call it side view and then go forward or backward
there is even car's front icon, not side icon
fierce tulip
if you have a front view of a houseplan you dont see its front wall on the left side and the back wall on the right side.
a 2d sidescroller game front view is the same
though generally if you add a third dimension in a 2d game thats often considered the depth instead of height
in that case Z would have been depth instead of height hehe

I hope Microsoft manages to somehow do cloud assisted ray tracing. I heard the water in Sea Of Thieves is already using Azure, but I don't know to what extend.
shell jetty
@golden spoke well Azure have those Tesla VMs in there so using them as calculation
plus having 10GB network helps
pseudo valve
If the vehicle drives forward (+X) by nature why there is wrong icons then and wrong view names? According to icons this must be left view.
golden spoke
@shell jetty Well, obviously they would have to think of something to reduce bandwidth. As I said, assisting the rendering process to the point that single GPU users could play those games would be cool. But I don't know a lot about any of that. I could imagine that it could work somehow, but maybe its impossible.
shell jetty
@golden spoke check this and there is ue4 in container for like docker so what azure have is service fabric but it need networking for sure to work well in unreal but check this out https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/solutions/gaming/

Is there a way to manually cache a light's shadow?
frank escarp
and even like that, it also gets invalidated if a NONSHADOWCASTER actor gets close

restive eagle
i was mainly thinking about the satic ones, but thanks for pointing that out
south ridge
@frank escarp that is a direct concern for us btw
frank escarp
i havent tried it now, btw
south ridge
We might need to fix engine a little
So it caches shadows even when some movable objects are in view
frank escarp
yeah, i could try to fix it mysefl
south ridge
We have some stuff that can't be static, has to be dynamic, but it's also not actually moving (or it does, but it's not important)
frank escarp
or hell, just a manual "CacheShadow" function call
south ridge
So it would be totally OK to have shadow artifacts
floral heart
StopShadowUpdate or the like
frank escarp
then i can even step it through the dungeon at a specific rate
south ridge
In our case, I'm just gonna hardcode it to skip checking movable actors of specific types

that way i avoid having a huge stall at the start

@dense patio you can first try running a standalone game, open console and try commiting that command there

dont do copy paste, try typing r.full and press tab so the editor could finish that command for you

well fullscreenmode just changes if its fullscreen fullscreen or borderless windowed for the most part, the fullscreen command itself does the toggling. regardless of that this is the older way of doing this and using the game settings is the proper way now to do resolution changes

r.setres can set the resolution and windowed mode yes, fullscreen can toggle fullscreen on/off, r.fullscreenmode determines if its native fullscreen or borderless windowed
