its more than 10 years old

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

got this pc yesterday

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

its really, really, really old

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

eek

#

i need some recomendations

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

if the pc has this kind of card

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

something under $100

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

yup, 10 year old

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

I wonder what kind of hardware is attached to it

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

first gen i7 or a dual core/quad

#

@plush yew GTX 1050

#

pretty damn good card at beetween 100-150 i think

#

there is also an AMD equivalent, but i dont know how it compares

#

all i know is that the 1050 is actually quite decent

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

$200 right now

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

oof

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

a bit less for the 2gb version

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

wew lad

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

how do i know if it'll work with my pc

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

that card costed 900 dollars in its day

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

but who the fuck devs with a 2gb video card

#

quadros are sooo expensive

10 years ago, what kind of geforce gpu did we have ?

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

i was playing crysis on those days i think

#

had a 9400gt

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

9000gt ?

#

aight

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

yeah

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

had a 9600GT

#

worked pretty well

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:51 PM

#

that 9400gt costed me 80 euros

#

back in the day

#

probably the 80 euros better spent of my life

#

showed me what pc master race truly is XD

kindred viper Jun 13, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

I think I smoked the best 80 euros of my life. I can't remember so it must have been good 😉

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

crysis, oblivion, batman arkam asylum, gothic3. Flashy as hell

#

the PC had a dual core cpu

and 1 gb of RAM i upgraded to 2 gb

#

win XP, then win 7

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

is your PC equipped with a pciexpress 16x slot @plush yew ?

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

i have no clue

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

and does it have a decent power supply

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:53 PM

#

where can i find this

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:53 PM

#

@plush yew super overpriced

#

that gpu should be 120 or so

#

not 180

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:53 PM

#

i hear the poor fan

#

spinning

#

#awayfrommac

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:53 PM

#

it is @plush yew , nvm this gen of quadro was pciexpress

#

so it "should" work

#

(ie motherboard could not like it, PSU too weak,etc..)

#

but then a 1050 isnt really a power eater

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:54 PM

#

the guy is running a quadro

#

quadros are pretty power hungry

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:54 PM

#

are they

#

these are much more efficient than geforces of similar specs

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

rip cant figure out how to open the pc

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

not much more efficent at all

#

they are slightly better efficient

#

at best

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

108W for the old quadro

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

they are the same chip as gaming chip

#

except they are higher purity

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

75 for the 1050, so you should be fine

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

and have some CAD sections alive with spceific drivers to use them

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

yeah

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

there was a time where you could install a quadro driver on a normal gpu

#

and it worked and gave the CAD speedup

#

for current ones i think they laser it off

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

😂

#

reminds me of the bios flashes

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

how 2 open pc up?

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

there was a time on AMD history where you could flash a 6 core cpu into an 8 core by a firmware update

#

becouse they had the cores disabled, but not lasered off

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:57 PM

#

it was on HD6950/6970 cards ? you could put a 6970 bios on a 6950 and unlock cores

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:57 PM

#

so you could do a firmware update and relive them

#

that too

#

btw, it might not work well XD

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 2:57 PM

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:57 PM

most of the times they were disabled becouse they were unsable/lower purity

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:57 PM

#

aah good ol flash hackeries

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 2:57 PM

#

but a lot of times they were disable just for market demands

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 2:58 PM

it burned the motherboard after 2 years of excellent services 😢

thats a lot of pciexpress

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 3:02 PM

#

can i have 2 graphics cards in my pc?

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 3:02 PM

#

also, BTX motherboards 🤢

#

yeah but dont @plush yew

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

i just need unreal engine to work]

#

and still have good graphics

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

then get a more recent GPU

#

GTX9xx or GTX10xx series are good

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

i need one under 100

#

if possible

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:04 PM

#

@plush yew sadly, those arent any good

#

the sweet spot is at around 150

thats where the good shit its at

ok ill take it

i can confirm you it runs everything

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 3:04 PM

well it depends, where do you buy stuff online usually ?

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 3:04 PM

amazon

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:05 PM

sadly, the AMD cards of this price are all on the hands of miners

grim ore Jun 13, 2018, 3:05 PM

get a 1030 if you just want it to work, you can find them under 100 if you look. get a 1050 if you can afford it, ti is better. If you can find used find an older 750ti or a 970 on the cheap.

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 3:05 PM

#

i have a load of gift cards

languid shard Jun 13, 2018, 3:05 PM

#

also if you get a 1050

#

I'm not sure the 2gb version is enough vram for unreal dev

terse stag Jun 13, 2018, 3:06 PM

#

Maybe you could check MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GAMING X 4G

#

it's around 200 but I think it's good enough

#

for UE

grim ore Jun 13, 2018, 3:06 PM

2gb will work, hell 1gb will work. It just will limit what you can do is all.

there are no links as every store has different versions at different prices. look up those gpu versions in the store you want to buy from

grim ore Jun 13, 2018, 3:10 PM

#

based on the pictures the only guarantee is a pcie only powered GPU will work fine. without knowing your PSU theres no real way to know what your max GPU would be. the ones recommended so far should all work on a basic system like that tho, the 1030/1050/1050ti are all lower power draw and good performance cards at a lower price.

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:11 PM

xeon is a 4 core 8 thread 2.6 ghz cpu

seems to be like a generation 1 i7?

its a serious business hardcore workstation from 2009

we talking 3000 USD level workstation

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 3:12 PM

so the link above that LifeforLife sent will work?

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:17 PM

how is it 1200 EUR (SPA) for a pc rn, no peripherals @frank escarp @teal tulip

grim ore Jun 13, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

it should, it only draws from the PCIE slot and yours should work with that.

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

@cinder iron sadly, mining prices 😦

#

worse than 2 years ago

#

also RAM prices

#

but you can get a very legit PC for that price

#

and i mean very legit

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

I plan to update it eventually

bitter plover Jun 13, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

What would i put in a function to make the player sprint? Increasing speed and play the animation

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:17 PM

#

thing is my motherboard is laughable rn

#

and amd gave me problems

#

gpu

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:18 PM

#

in that case i would recomend a ryzen+ motherboard with a ryzen cpu

#

dem 8 cores will last a while

#

and the motherboards arent as expensive as intel ones

#

for GPU, i would use a placeholder one

#

in your case, the best is to frankenstein pieces

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:18 PM

#

I need a nvidia one

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:18 PM

#

is your current RAM DDR4?

#

what is your current cpu

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

I have only one DDR4 module 8 gigs

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

then use that

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

my current cpu is i5 3570K, bullshit

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

RAM right now is completely insane

#

in that case we start with Ryzen + mobo

#

that is around 500 euros

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

I was thinking of a posible 2nd handed RAM :/ never bought any component 2nd hand

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:19 PM

#

for a good ryzen with a decent mobo

#

600 if you go with a stronger mobo and a strong cpu cooler (for some good ol overclocking)

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

I don't oc

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

@cinder iron a PC for rn ?

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

at least at a low level

#

my current pc is a small overclock ryzen

#

i run the ryzen at 3.8 ghz instead of 3.4

#

and at less energy usage than default

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

oof

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

ryzens are usually overkill in energy by default

#

you can overclock them a good deal "for free" on the default voltage

plush yew Jun 13, 2018, 3:21 PM

#

I’m back

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:21 PM

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:21 PM

mobo, ryzen (low oc),

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:21 PM

you gonna frankenstein case, psu, and HDD?

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:22 PM

#

I have a decent PSU 850 W, not sure if it would power the whole thing

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:22 PM

#

good enough

#

what quality?

#

850 is on the very high side

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

its a bronze one

#

hummer 850 W

#

not very good but it's what I have

#

about the case, I'd have to check if I could reuse it

#

because I really like it

#

it has cooling on it

#

a decent one

#

what I need is 1000 series GPU if posible 1060 or so... mobo, a cpu and thats all

#

won't buy a ssd

#

and ram

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:25 PM

#

not a good idea

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:25 PM

#

I cannot survive with a 8GB

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:25 PM

when its like 3 months till nvidia shows new cards

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:25 PM

#

really?

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:25 PM

#

have you seen the prices of RAM?

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:25 PM

#

yeah I have

#

but what shall I do

#

wait still with a broken pc

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:25 PM

#

if you buy a GPU now you get a 2 year old GPU when the new ones are around the corner

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:26 PM

#

Well if the new ones don't get overpriced

#

but dunno if I shall wait

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:26 PM

#

they will still cause a massive price drop on the current gen

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:26 PM

#

I don't have a gpu actually

#

is what I need

#

Idk if I should ask for one where I work at or what

#

because I cannot open anything that requieres a bit more of gpu power

#

amd scammed me

#

after the rma expired

#

the middle fan stopped working

#

and the gpu is as clean as it can be

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:27 PM

#

damn

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:28 PM

#

this is indeed the worst moment ever to buy a pc

cinder iron Jun 13, 2018, 3:28 PM

#

because I would love to wait to peak the new generation

#

maybe I could look for a cheap gpu

#

or I don't know

#

I don't want to waste too much money on that gpu

#

you think would be worth purchasing just a placeholder gpu now

#

and then go for it?

#

and idk sell it later on

frank escarp Jun 13, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

probably

#

in that case, same as to the other guy

#

get a 1050/1050ti

#

beetween 100 and 150 and they are great gpus

#

jesus christ the gpu prices

#

+50€ of what they should cost wtf

where would the best place to ask a profiling related question be?

paper kernel Jun 13, 2018, 5:24 PM

#

probably here...?

#

there's no optimization channel

uncut hill Jun 13, 2018, 5:26 PM

#

yeah true

#

basically in my profiles I'm seeing a lot of stuff categorised under UpdateOverlaps Time, even though all of these things have generate overlaps unticked and no collision

#

http://puu.sh/ADTQR/f364d281ea.png

#

whilst the numbers don't seem large (0.043ms) that is for one ship, and worst case scenario there are 10 around at once

#

Just wondering if there's anything I can do to nuke that stuff from the profiler, or if it's just a weird case of it being in that category but not actually generating overlaps

paper kernel Jun 13, 2018, 5:30 PM

#

well, if it's not on then it shouldn't report anything

#

I think

uncut hill Jun 13, 2018, 5:31 PM

#

It's been very annoying since they don't have generate overlaps at all... or collision of any kind, even tried giving them a custom collision channel that ignores literally everything

#

no dice

#

cost doesn't even change

paper kernel Jun 13, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

is the CanBeDamaged on?

#

I could see that querying physics

uncut hill Jun 13, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

might be, I've tried turning stuff like "can character step up on" and "can ever affect navigation" all to off, haven't tried CanBeDamaged though

#

I will give that a whirl

#

changing the above mentioned settings also didn't change the cost at all

paper kernel Jun 13, 2018, 5:37 PM

#

🤔 nothing in the docs either

uncut hill Jun 13, 2018, 5:39 PM

#

Yeah that didn't remove it either

#

I'm already spending 0.193ms on UpdateComponentToWorld, I don't need an additionat 0.1ms on UpdateOverlaps Time 😭

i have created a zombie that runs at the player on being play and the zombies that are placed in the world work fine. but when i try and spawn the same zombie blueprint with blueprints then they just stand there and dont chase the player

inner cloak Jun 13, 2018, 7:30 PM

#

Are you assigning them controller or pawn .. something like that ?

#

well, i think the term is possessing .. but i could be wrong

harsh tiger Jun 13, 2018, 7:34 PM

@inner cloak i have my first person character and a blueprint thats a zombie. i placed 2 in the world and they chase me. but when i spawn them in by using the level blueprint then the zombies just stand there and dont chase me

grim ore Jun 13, 2018, 7:38 PM

#

if you are using AI you need to spawn AI, not spawn actor

#

if you notice on the item itself it has the option to be auto possessed by AI when placed in the world which is why that is working

harsh tiger Jun 13, 2018, 7:39 PM

you can change that or just use the spawn AI node instead of the spawn actor

@inner cloak super weird. I guess you could try posting your actual BP you are using to find the player in your AI in the AI channel, that might be a start. or in here I dunno. AI shouldnt need to be in view to work unless you have it set up to work like that lol

Hey, I'm using a montage so I can run and punch at the same time, but since its just adjusting spine_01 up, the animation is punching to the right. Do any of you know how I can adjust this so they punch at a rotation from where they're currently punching at?

#

Would this have to do done in an outside program or can unreal do it?

inner cloak Jun 13, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

ok, thanks, will eventually figure it out !

grim ore Jun 13, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

you can probably do it in game @strange fog but you might get more help in Animation channel as only us slackers slack off in here. All the smart people hang out in the channels lol.

#

but I seem to recall bones can be adjusted during runtime in the anim bp so i dont see why not. I know you can adjust targets for sure.

strange fog Jun 13, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

Thanks, I'll ask there. I know the bones can be rotated, but not sure how to do it for only 1 animation

grim ore Jun 13, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

I know its probably not the right answer but an event in the montage can trigger a variable and then you just check that variable and do your rotation only when its true?

strange fog Jun 13, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

Do you know what variable would effect a spine rotation?

#

or what blueprint

#

(Im extremely new to unreal but trying really hard 😉 )

grim ore Jun 13, 2018, 7:53 PM

#

I don't. I barely understand the animation system 😦

strange fog Jun 13, 2018, 7:56 PM

Thanks anyway. Hopefully someone will respond in animation. Seems like its far less active

is there some case where asset asking if you sure you want to remove it because it references itself makes sense?

#

#

talking about this thing

#

im thinking of doing a pull request about this but if they might say it is intended i would rather not cause it takes too much time to get the master from github and etc.

manic pawn Jun 13, 2018, 8:39 PM

#

that definitely doesn't make sense lol

#

making a pr can go a lot faster if you clone the repo a second time, leave that on master, and never run the setup.bat

grim sinew Jun 13, 2018, 8:43 PM

#

It would only make sense if you had another asset named that exact same thing somehow

manic pawn Jun 13, 2018, 8:44 PM

#

doesn't it prevent you from naming 2 actors the same?

grim sinew Jun 13, 2018, 8:46 PM

#

It should

surreal viper Jun 13, 2018, 8:46 PM

#

it is the same actor

#

also if there would be more reference it would be in the list

#

it's in an array, i would just remove itself from that

#

edit is about 3 min, testing is like 10, setting everything up is like hours, PR itself might be ignored 😄

manic pawn Jun 13, 2018, 8:50 PM

they add loads of broken stuff in 4.20 so why would we care :D

regal mulch Jun 13, 2018, 9:22 PM

@ivory prism You have to make sure that you add the Debug Symbols when you install an engine

You can also do that afterwards by clicking on the engine version and checking the options

Anyone know how to get an emmiter like a muzzle flash to compile shaders?

#

It doesnt want to for some reason

wary wave Jun 14, 2018, 7:37 AM

#

if shaders need compiling, it should just do so automatically

#

morning folks - anyone know why a component's extents may get returned differently sometimes for no apparent reason?

#

I'm using 'Get Component Bounds', but the values that come out of it are inconsistent, which makes no sense to me since the component isn't being scaled or anything

leaden onyx Jun 14, 2018, 7:39 AM

#

@wary wave extents change due to rotation/scaling, since I believe its based on the bounding box

wary wave Jun 14, 2018, 7:39 AM

#

rotation might do it (component isn't scaled), though the rotation should always be the same when doing this

#

will check

#

hmm, rotation is what I'd expect, checking scale, not that scale should change :/

#

Yeah, that isn't it. I'm using it to calculate correct camera distance.

First log:
£Extent: X=5.012 Y=121.128 Z=15.692 / transform: Translation: X=10.000 Y=20.000 Z=-9860.000 Rotation: P=0.000000 Y=89.999992 R=0.000000 Scale X=1.000 Y=1.000 Z=1.000
£ Distance: 1130.137207

Second log:
£Extent: X=10.930 Y=40.826 Z=8.934 / transform: Translation: X=10.001 Y=13.415 Z=-9859.998 Rotation: P=0.000000 Y=89.999992 R=0.000000 Scale X=1.000 Y=1.000 Z=1.000
£ Distance: 380.907654

#

transforms are more or less the same, but the extents are wildly different which means that the camera distance in the first is totally incorrect

#

interestingly translation I'd expect would be the same, but it is slightly different

leaden onyx Jun 14, 2018, 7:46 AM

#

weird that translation affects it

wary wave Jun 14, 2018, 7:48 AM

#

I don't think it's translation doing it

#

we're talking about 7cm in one direction

leaden onyx Jun 14, 2018, 7:48 AM

#

maybe you are adding something to it?

#

which extends bounding box

#

like a component

wary wave Jun 14, 2018, 7:49 AM

#

something is altering the component bounding box yeah (the component is just a 'primitive component' since the mesh can be skeletal or static)

#

gonna change the script to get the bounds earlier using the specific mesh function

#

hah, okay so! GetComponentBounds is unreliable.

Good news:
Static / Skeletal mesh Get Bounds functions are reliable and return consistent results.

Bad news:
My code no longer works

😂

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 7:57 AM

#

so you'd be better getting your bounds from the asset itself than its instance as a component ?

wary wave Jun 14, 2018, 8:02 AM

#

Yeah, I was using PrimitiveComponent's 'GetComponentBounds' which returned inconsistent results, but Static Mesh and Skeletal Mesh assets have 'Get Bounds' (different functions) which is consistent

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 8:03 AM

#

good to know :p only been using asset bounds so far though

wary wave Jun 14, 2018, 8:03 AM

#

I'm still using GetComponentBounds to get the correct origin though

#

ergh, now I'm suddenly getting the incorrect numbers again (consistently incorrect)

#

wtf

Hi everyone, i didnt know the right channel to ask, but here it goes. First i m not very experience with the ue4 engine. The thing is i m using a clutter blueprint from some of the free packs on the marketplace (i m not at my pc atm so cant rimember what pack was it, i can check latter), i was wandering how to use clutter on a mesh, i know about the foliage tool but we need more options to control the clutter so is there a way to make it work on a mesh ?

remote roost Jun 14, 2018, 10:02 AM

#

I don't like blueprint at all

sudden agate Jun 14, 2018, 10:03 AM

#

but porting from C++ to BP is pretty easy. as the functions are called the same, but not necessarily available

remote roost Jun 14, 2018, 10:03 AM

#

i'm new to UE4 and it's C++ implementation but could I like lay out C++ stuff inside of a blueprint that would make sense for the average person to understand who wants to make something with my framework

#

maybe something like the ARK Devs have setup with the dev kit

#

or can you edit C++ variables inside of blueprint

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 10:18 AM

#

Hello guys

#

may i know how to make "savegame" of a MP project i made in UE4 with blueprints, be sent from the pc to a remote server so its not stored in the player's pc but be in a remote server

#

any tutorial coding csharp or etc

remote roost Jun 14, 2018, 10:21 AM

#

coding csharp?

#

you mean UnrealCS?

#

not gonna be many tutorials on that

#

I'd probably use an SQL server and use VaRest to send JSON to a webpage

#

doesn't require C++ but you will need some web development knowledge

cloud cobalt Jun 14, 2018, 10:36 AM

#

@remote roost Build base components in C++, and build higher level stuff in Blueprint

#

You'll never port C++ into BP, that would make little sense and isn't always possible

#

You can always expose anything from C++ to BP

remote roost Jun 14, 2018, 10:38 AM

#

ye, well, i want good performance and wanted an almost fully C++ project with an optional blueprint project for people who don't know C++

#

i'm coming from unity and don't have any interest in making my framework through visual scripting

#

lol

paper kernel Jun 14, 2018, 10:39 AM

#

why tho

remote roost Jun 14, 2018, 10:39 AM

#

because I like writing code?

#

and i don't like visual scripting because it's hard to read

paper kernel Jun 14, 2018, 10:39 AM

#

wat

remote roost Jun 14, 2018, 10:39 AM

#

and also hard to maintain

paper kernel Jun 14, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

I mean, sure lots of people dont enjoy the visual part of it but still use it because it's so much more faster to iterate with

remote roost Jun 14, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

i don't care about fast iteration

paper kernel Jun 14, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

it's a tool as any other

remote roost Jun 14, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

it's just gross and hard to maintain imo

#

babbys first coding

paper kernel Jun 14, 2018, 10:42 AM

#

babbys first or not, it's just faster for simple stuff

remote roost Jun 14, 2018, 10:42 AM

#

and for that you have to constantly maintain and reformat all those nodes

#

otherwise everything becomes unreadable

paper kernel Jun 14, 2018, 10:43 AM

#

aight, suit yourself

remote roost Jun 14, 2018, 10:43 AM

#

framework is gonna be free anyways, so i don't mind if people don't use it because it doesn't use BP

small oar Jun 14, 2018, 10:46 AM

im trying to get the time that has passed since a key has been pressed (not using tick)

#

is there any function like time.deltatime or somethig using c++

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

@small oar i do that with get game time in seconds

📎 unknown.png

#

i set it once the key is pressed, and on next keypress, i get game time in seconds and subtract from the previous stored float

#

i believe there's a cpp equivalent for the get game time in seconds node

small oar Jun 14, 2018, 10:52 AM

im looking for it now

but its saying it needs a parameter even though the docs dont show one?

Anyone here that has experience with the built in python scripting plugin for Unreal >= 4.19? Is it possible to spawn an Actor the the level (not in runtime) with python? I've tried and miserably failed so far.

I'm a bit stumped on a problem. When my character transitions from one movement mode to another (swimming to walking), I need to rotate its capsule component back up to a vertical position. Right now, I've been force-setting it upright with a timeline, but it sometimes rotates into rocks or things and gets itself stuck.

Is there any better way to tell UE4 to upright a character's capsule safely?

#

This is what I currently have:

would it be a workaround for lightmass bake errors since its realtime?

tall pendant Jun 14, 2018, 2:15 PM

#

I wouldn't use it as a substitute (its not yet production ready IMHO). But you could use to get the first % of lighting done w/o baking all the time. As for LM errors its better to find out what causes them.

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:15 PM

#

most of the time LM errors are bad UVs

#

@hoary charm what kind of errors do you have with your bakes ?

hoary charm Jun 14, 2018, 2:18 PM

#

@languid shard mostly issues like this https://gyazo.com/da4489640244b7f9b2ce5c785715f72c so now I discovered all uvs must be snapped to grid and I am doing that but still running into issues

#

@tall pendant Thanks for the info. I will continue to try and troubleshoot these errors before I give it a try I guess

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:21 PM

#

@hoary charm Are these meshes single sided ?

hoary charm Jun 14, 2018, 2:22 PM

@languid shard Yes all walls/floors/ceilings are planes essentially

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:22 PM

I read somewhere that they shouldn't be solids because of drawcalls..

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

basically you have to do an outside layer

#

you can still remove it AFTER the bake

https://i.imgur.com/CribVja.png

Imgur

#

top screenshot has been taken without the outside layer

#

(twas hidden)

hoary charm Jun 14, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

so do you recommend I actually thicken my geometry? or should I just copy and paste my existing plane but rotate it for the exterior?

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:24 PM

#

well you can do both

#

or if you only have an interior, just put a big cube over it

#

(and open areas where the light must go through)

hoary charm Jun 14, 2018, 2:24 PM

#

it's just a room like you have screenshotted above

#

ok let me try this

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:25 PM

#

on the second screenshot, I've build the whole room with an outside layer

#

and used a lower res lightmap on this part

hoary charm Jun 14, 2018, 2:25 PM

#

ok

#

I will let you know in a second how this works...thanks a lot for your help. been trying to troubleshoot this for days now

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:25 PM

#

no problem 😃

hoary charm Jun 14, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

so I should be able to turn down my lightmass resolution then..I was told to crank it up very high

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:28 PM

#

best practice is to split your meshes in smaller parts

and use a lot of lower resolution objects instead of one or two big, 2048/4096 objects

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 2:28 PM

#

anyone know why its not importing the cape?

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:29 PM

#

@hoary charm that room I posted, every wall or so is its own mesh

#

that way I can use 512/1024 lightmaps

#

and avoid very long bake times

#

while still having good detailing

#

also be sure to put a lightmass importance volume and lightmass portals on your scene

hoary charm Jun 14, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

@languid shard Aye, right now the walls are all modular basically 400x400, and I am using 128 lightmap resolution on them. it's baking now with the outside boxes

#

I have a lightmass importance volume but no portal

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

volume encapsulates your scene, portals are volumes you have to place on your light entrances with the right shape

#

that way the lightmass knows where light should come from

this is what will give you nice bounce lighting and indirect shadows

I'm using the GPU lightmapper though, so mileage might vary

I have a GTX 1080 ti, should I try those?

#

Ok same card

#

sorry no TI *

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

are you using the standard lightmapper ?

hoary charm Jun 14, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

I believe so. just what was default.

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

GPU wont really matter if yes

#

CPU will

#

this kind of settings with the default lightmass will take at least an hour to bake I think

#

you can stick to 0.1 scale, 6 bounces on both lights, and something like 4 for the indirect quality

hoary charm Jun 14, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

Ah, so should I leave it mostly un altered but perhaps reduce to .01 and say 2 or 3 sky light bounces?

#

ok

languid shard Jun 14, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

I'm not sure that going lower values for lighting smoothing increases quality though

#

keep in mind for the bounces that the first bounce always takes the most time

#

then its just like a ball bouncing on the ground, less time each bounce

hoary charm Jun 14, 2018, 2:43 PM

Ill bake the screenshots for you

grim ore Jun 14, 2018, 3:03 PM

Drop the terrain down below "sea/cloud" level and make islands. If that does not work for you then you need to make static meshes that represent your islands.

nimble sun Jun 14, 2018, 5:22 PM

#

yes

pallid compass Jun 14, 2018, 5:23 PM

#

Paper char comes from AChar and it enherits the capsule component and you can not change that, due to movement and col and a bunch of other stuff uses it

#

If you want a different col box you need to set your own base class up

#

IE, a Pawn with a Collison box & a movement component

how do i add the movement component, cant find it when i search for it

pallid compass Jun 14, 2018, 5:25 PM

You are unable to add the actual Character Movement component as its for char's only, you can add a Pawn Movement component though

Call of Duty spends more money in marketing than on the game itself, so that's maybe not your reference

DX10 mode was taken out of the editor a year ago.

#

On the launcher just choose an old version.

This wont let me compile

Im using engine 4.19.2

Failed to compile global shader TParticleSimulationPS<PCM_DepthBuffer> 🤔

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

I have no clue what that is lmao

#

Ive been stuck here trying to figure this out for the past couple days

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:06 PM

#

"Enable 'r.ShaderDevelopmentMode' in ConsoleVariables.ini" it literally tells you what to do. This will make it so it tells you what the error is so you can actually fix it

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:06 PM

#

I did

#

It does nothing

#

heres the full log

📎 unknown.png

manic pawn Jun 14, 2018, 8:06 PM

#

there should definitely not be a compile error in a default shader

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

Let me try with a normal version of 4.19

#

im using a custom engine

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

It honestly just sounds like you messed with the shaders and broke something

manic pawn Jun 14, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

did you forget to compile shader compile worker

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

@grim sinew probably, I was fucking with that a bit earlier

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

If he didn't compile that, he wouldn't be able to compile anything. So he compiled the worker

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

But nothing that would absolutely break everything

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

Everyone says that about the changes they make until it absolutely breaks everything

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

Well im installing a normal clean version of 4.19.2

#

Let me see if it works on that first

#

One of the main things I added was VXGI

#

IDK if that has something to do with it breaking

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

"One of the" See these are the words that concern people when talking about shader changes when simultaneously making massive changes to the way lighting works

rose bison Jun 14, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

not sure where to put it so I'll ask here. We have streaming levels set up (1 persistent level and another one set to AlwaysLoad)
The level that is set to AlwaysLoad misses some objects though

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

well

#

I added more than VXGI

#

I cloned from a github branch, lemme send you the link

bitter plover Jun 14, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

@karmic igloo can save but there ores no compile button

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

aaaand I cant find it :/

#

Ill just download the stock 4.19.2 build and the build that only has vxgi

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

It's a 17th century dress, with the metal wires inside and stuff holding it out

#

Probably just max distance on the cloth though

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

Hey does anyone have the program that exports Source maps to Unreal?

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

No

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

I want to extract a certain map and not pay 42 for the program lol

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

You need to go back to 4.14 at least, probably earlier

#

I would say check the release notes and try to find when DX10 was removed, then do the version before that

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

yo wtf when is ue4 getting dx12 support

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

A year ago. It's just terrible and buggy.

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

Theres no option for it

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

You can use it but it'll crash constantly.

#

You launch the engine with -d3d12 after the shortcut

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

What if I want to compile the game to use dx12?

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

Then you're making a mistake

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

ooof

#

I mean

#

I was hoping it was implemented properly

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

It won't run better and it'll crash more. You would be stupid to do it.

#

There's no benefit to DX12 or Vulkan right now on desktops

#

In the UE4

#

Other platforms, it's just fine. Like DX12 works fine on the Xbox One.

#

Or Vulkan on mobile

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

Well my game is more CPU based, I was hoping with DX12's CPU utilization it would run better

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

Not on desktop for either though

#

Nope. Make better code.

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

Its the best I can do while using 300 ai lel

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

Google it, @amber holly

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

google.com

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

Google it harder. It's in the release notes.

#

We're not going to babysit you

#

Nobody will remember such an obscure detail off the top of their heads

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

Why does he want to have dx10?

#

thats incredibly outdated

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

No idea, it was killed for a reason. Nobody used it.

#

Maybe he wants it to run on a GPU from 2008

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

dx10 was used in like

#

1 game

#

battlefield 3

#

thats literally the only game i remember that used dx10

#

the rest used dx9

#

wait

#

your gpu doesnt support dx11?

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

DX11 came out in 2010. Your computer, if it doesn't support DX11, doesn't support Unreal.

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

How do you even find a pc that doesnt support dx11

#

And honestly most newer PCs can run ue4

#

even on low settings

#

yet alone have support for dx11

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

The only way you shouldn't be able to use DX11 is if your GPU is over 8 years old.

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

OH MY GOD

#

jesus christ

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

Okay then, exactly. Unreal doesn't support integrated graphics.

#

There's your problem.

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

thats a horrible pc

#

you cant even run half life 2 on that

#

lol

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:24 PM

#

Go buy literally any GPU that hasn't rusted over. It'll be faster.

grim ore Jun 14, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

which ue4 game is it that runs on your machine?

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

yeah im pretty curious

#

what game "runs" on your machine

grim ore Jun 14, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

I believe they said it was a sonic game before

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

I highly doubt it runs, im pretty sure it just starts up

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

No sonic games use Unreal, would need to be a fan game if so.

#

All the sonic games on PC use the hedgehog engine

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

kid is probably talking about fortnite running on his pc

grim sinew Jun 14, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

Which one, be specific

#

I need to see a screenshot of this

grim ore Jun 14, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

Ask them what they are using in the engine so then you can adjust the settings on yours?

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

he was prob running like Galaxy in Turmoil or some crap

#

something that has like barely anything on the screen

#

what settings?

#

what frame rate?

grim ore Jun 14, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

is it like that one or is it that one?

manic pawn Jun 14, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

the editor is way more demanding than the packaged games

#

games can use dx10, editor can't

grim ore Jun 14, 2018, 8:30 PM

#

honestly like has been mentioned before your going to have to upgrade or find another engine.

#

or I guess rewrite the renderer to support what you need, that is doable

manic pawn Jun 14, 2018, 8:30 PM

#

attempting to use the editor on hardware that crappy won't be a fun experience

grim ore Jun 14, 2018, 8:31 PM

#

maybe install UE4 4.0 and see if it runs for you on that machine

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 8:58 PM

#

yes

#

we are all trying to tell you that it wont run on your pc

bitter plover Jun 14, 2018, 9:01 PM

#

hey guys

#

i have a shoot button in my 2DPlatform game

#

since its for mobile

#

but it doesnt shoot when im turned to the left

#

any ideas?

graceful grove Jun 14, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

Make sure to always turn to the right kappa

#

Your projectile may be failing to spawn if it starts inside your character, or some other logic prevents spawning a projectile.

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:04 PM

#

im using a arrow to spawn the projectile

#

did it need a config to turn with me?

#

im a newbie in UE

graceful grove Jun 14, 2018, 9:05 PM

#

Screenshot your setup and it will be easier for other people to help debug it

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 9:06 PM

#

you can make the arrow a child of the main mesh and it will turn with the mesh

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:06 PM

#

thats my character setup

📎 unknown.png

graceful grove Jun 14, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

🤔

#

what in tarnation

#

OK, you need to rotate the arrow to face left when your character faces left

#

I"m guessing

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

Yes

#

at least i think

#

cause if i press the shoot button when turned to the left

#

and after that i turn to the right

#

it shoots auto

small oar Jun 14, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

anyone know how to get rid of the annoying playerstart colliding issue for multiplayer games where the character doesnt spawn sometimes

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 9:10 PM

#

@marble spire rotate and translate the arrow far enough when your char turns left so the arrow doesnt only rotate and spawn a projectile into your character collision object itself

#

@small oar that happened to me a few times. you'll need to store an array of all used player starts with ints in the game instance and only pick inactive ones.

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:12 PM

#

gonna try that

#

thhanks

bitter plover Jun 14, 2018, 9:14 PM

#

How do i get these shaders to compile?

#

So annoying

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 9:14 PM

#

packaging project forces shader compilation

#

that or you open each map manually / open each material manually

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:15 PM

#

Sorry to ask gothic

#

but what u mean is to look at the arrow, right?

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 9:16 PM

#

yep ArrowShot

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:16 PM

#

what do u mean about translate the arrow

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 9:16 PM

#

change location

#

and rotation

#

📎 unknown.png

#

that's a drawing i did to help lmao. sorry for bad art

#

i was never good at drawing 😃

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:17 PM

#

its goddam helpful

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 9:17 PM

#

lol

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:18 PM

#

i think the problem is about tha code now

#

cause it shoots at left if i turn the arrow

#

but still not shoots when im turned to the left

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 9:18 PM

#

yes then you gotta catch in the code where your object is facing left

#

and apply that function at that point

#

in the exec flow

#

you can try using print statements to get at when it turns

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:19 PM

#

gonna try to find that

#

thanks gothic

#

in wich blueprint it says when im turned left?

#

nvm found it

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 9:21 PM

#

you use

📎 unknown.png

#

k

#

split the struct pin on the output to get the Z yaw float

#

did you do the pixel art for your pawn yourself?

#

looks coo

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:22 PM

#

ive maded it that

📎 unknown.png

#

but still not working when im looking to left

#

No

#

its from a artist

#

ive asked him to use and he let it

#

so here i am

plush yew Jun 14, 2018, 9:23 PM

#

you gotta set the rotation, and set the position

#

rotation will make it rotate into the collision object itself.

#

here can u go to #blueprint with me?

#

ill msg u there k

marble spire Jun 14, 2018, 9:24 PM

of course

Whats the best way to get started with ue4?

obsidian nimbus Jun 14, 2018, 10:57 PM

install it 😃

vivid girder Jun 14, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

How would you set up a npc to open doors on their way to the targetlocation?

obsidian nimbus Jun 14, 2018, 11:00 PM

#

make the door their target location

vivid girder Jun 14, 2018, 11:01 PM

#

Yea, that's what i'm thinking too, but then each MoveTo event would need to find all doors between x->y and break them down into subtasks again

#

Seems messy

obsidian nimbus Jun 14, 2018, 11:02 PM

#

break it down into rooms

vivid girder Jun 14, 2018, 11:02 PM

#

Would you make the door block for the navmesh?

#

What do you mean?

obsidian nimbus Jun 14, 2018, 11:03 PM

#

he is in 1 room and there are only a few other rooms he can go to at that t ime
