river breach
I have a question for you
what is more worth? Learning unreal and C++ or learning assets?
river breach
actually I wanted to delete and repost on carrer-advice
but since you asked.. I have a bit of knowledge in both
but I want to focus on one thing
cloud cobalt
But are you asking for real-life job advice or hobby skills ?
river breach
like, what should I focus? Trying to understand unreal engine and start making games
well, I don't know that either
It can be both
for start, hobby skill. But if I get something that I love I start doing it like crazy
cloud cobalt
The reason I ask is, game development is a notoriously harsh, unstable and underpaid career
river breach
and game-design?
cloud cobalt
Game design is a field of game development
river breach
then let's ask in other way
is it okay to learn modelling and in-game design?
is it worth?
worn granite
what do you enjoy more?
cloud cobalt
Personally ? Sure
river breach
well, I enjoy both
cloud cobalt
It's always worth it to learn stuff
river breach
but since I am alone, it's not really that fun
worn granite
I'd go with your preference
river breach
I have a lot of stuff's in my head and I can't go with one thing
worn granite
If you're truly neutral then split your time until you start to get better at one or the other.
Or flip a coin and go with the result you hope for in the air
cloud cobalt
The thing is, you're overall unlikely to earn a living from game development, be it code, art, design, tools, etc. It might possibly happen for a few years after some time, but you shouldn't count on it if you're looking for stability, family founding, etc
That's kind of a downer, but it's a thing to consider
river breach
well, just to say in advance
actually I got in University of music (Romania)
so for start it will be a hobby
this thing with unreal/modelling
I'm looking to make some pocket money
and at the same time I want after 10 years to change the hobby to carrer
cloud cobalt
So again - if you want money, game dev is probably the worst idea
river breach
can we discuss more in private? I'm not sure if it's right to discuss this here..

everything is up to date with the latest drivers. Just think the paragon assets may be too heavy for Ryzen 5 I guess. idk probably chokes everyone's average PCs I'm guessing?
I guess the good news is that CPU max temp at 95% load over 10 minutes stabilizes at 60c with a slight overclock only being air cooled so there's more head room if I want to tinker!

What would be the best way to store a mass-user settings list? I know there is a Game User Settings file and an Input Settings file, but they don't have everything I need in there. Should I make my own .ini file or use a struct (or something else)?
shell kettle
Subclass it?
Also, there are already parameters in the GameUserSettings. Can I add my own parameters there?
Sorry if this isn't the correct channel. I just don't know where I would ask this kinda stuff
cloud cobalt
Working with C++, or BP ?
shell kettle
BPs
cloud cobalt
Well, principle's the same - create a Blueprint deriving from game user settings, put your properties there, set GameUserSettingsClassName in the engine settings to your BP
dire storm
@dark depot How long does it take your maps to open for the paragon assets?
shell kettle
Huh so I could use a blueprint with all my variables there to be used as a settings file?
cloud cobalt
GameUserSettings class is basically a class to hold properties and save them to a file
You'll need to call some engine method to save, too
dark depot
@dire storm when first opening it was like 5-10 minutes now like 2-4 its on my HDD so that doesnt help
shell kettle
Right. There's an ini file for the GameUserSettings.
I'm sorta wondering if I can add stuff to it
cloud cobalt
The ini is generated
By that class
People can edit it if they want, or you can have a menu
But the engine will read it, and it can save to it too
shell kettle
I have a menu system to set volume and keybinds and such, and I want to save those settings. So you're saying I can create a BP with a bunch of variables there for the settings if I set the UserGameSettings class in the engine settings?
dire storm
@dark depot okay hmm. Yeah I just opened the paragon sample map and it took around 5-10 minutes but it seems to be going fine now. First time opening it. Whats funny is my old PC could open the kite demo even though it was screaming and crying the whole time. New PC doesn't want to even look at it at all
shell kettle
Just want to make sure
dire storm
might be an engine build issue idk.. I'm just ripping assets so I can play in the editor and see how they build stuff
cloud cobalt
It will handle the ini for you
shell kettle
Alright awesome. And where do I find this engine setting to set my BP to it?
cloud cobalt
Project settings - All classes, search for "settings" 😃
shell kettle
Are you talking about in the project directory, or the content folder in UE4?
cloud cobalt
"All" at the very top
shell kettle
Okay I'm there

Well, add it

Ah that must be why ^
cloud cobalt
GameUserSettingsClassName=/Script/GameName.ClassName```Alright sounds good. And from there, I just edit the BP to have several variables for my settings?
cloud cobalt
Yeah
cloud cobalt
Really thought this was going to be a "create class, set class in drop-down menu" situation
shell kettle
Wouldn't that be nice? 😄
cloud cobalt
That's how it works for the HUD class or the default pawn class, etc
shell kettle
I don't even see a GameUserSettings.ini
dark depot
you wont till you change something

That's fine, like I said, it should be generated

But I know it should exist since there are BP nodes for it

And should actually be YourClassName.ini

I don't have a GameUserSettings BP Class

[Question]: When creating static mesh assets in Blender and importing them into UE4. Are LODs still a thing or does the UE4 auto LOD with the Hierarchical thingy mo bobber doo hicky
shell kettle
Kinda seems like my project is screwed up based on your responses haha
hidden berry
how would i allow the hotbar and inventory screen too communicate ?
worn granite
Eh, I'm just not in tune with some of the stuff you can(t) do
And I just looked at the class, but didn't see any particular reason why you couldn't make a subclass of GameUserSettings
hidden berry
sorry @dire storm i didnt see that you had asked a question until i pressed enter, i didnt mean too steal your shine lol
shell kettle
Well I'm glad you can at least find the class haha. Mine is nowhere in sight
dire storm
no worries. I'm just trying to wrap my head around understanding LODs while I'm reading about them.
shell kettle
Which is probably because I haven't told the engine to use that class yet
worn granite
Should be loaded?
dire storm
I wanna start making basic assets in blender to get my feet wet and I watched a video on fortnite a few weeks ago. I'll probably have to revisit that one to get a better understanding of how the hierarchical lod system works. I was under the impression UE4 will do the LODs for you completely now with 4.20 but I wasn't sure if I still had to do anything in blender.
digital anchor
well, im doing lods exclusively on ue and no problems so far
works as good as blender's decimate
dire storm
cool. So slap the asset together in blender then import and let UE4 LOD do the rest. Thats what I was looking for 😉
digital anchor
i want to do some timers by frames instead of ms, if im capped at 60fps can i trust a frame will be exactly 16ms? so i can 16xframes and make sure it wont miss?

one of two ways. Black magic or science! Its really purdy btw!! That sounds like a question for @fierce tulip
dark depot
it just looks like an emissive material
plush yew
i mean it gives that weird sense
digital anchor
yeah, just the tips are some emissive, some bloom, some WPO for the leaves, fog...
plush yew
like if you were dreaming
or drugged
@plush yew you can model out the trees, and set MATids differently on the end caps of each of those branches
and then apply emissive yellow to the end caps
and animate it, not sure how the animation is done or in what toolset though
yuou might be able to get the entire tree pre animated with separate mat ids from some program
digital anchor
this animation specifically would be pretty easy with a gradient on the UVs, + some noise into world position offset
weak thunder
Is it possible to export an entire Level (trees, grass, buildings and etc...) into blender?
Essentially everything becomes 1 object file.
Does anyone know? Rather than exporting each individual mesh there has to be a better way of exporting a whole bunch of them that make up... lets say a house.
tawdry narwhal
@weak thunder File -> Export All...
weak thunder
Ok thanks. I will test it, kind of surprised its that simple, a level is made of hundreds of pieces making up the house, landmass and vegetations around it. Obviously each piece has its own textures too.
to move all this in 1 shot into blender is kind of surprising.

Hi there. I've been following this tutorial post in the Unreal Engine Documentation, but when I create my class, it doesn't look near the same as what they have.

@vale halo Thinking about what you said last night about
how animal physics would be costly:
Maybe I should also consider developing what amounts to a Level of Detail system for this AnimalCapsuleComponent (OvalComponent? CubeComponent?)
If I have 10-15 animals on a scene like from your example I figure it would make sense to resolve a way to only fully simulate animals the player is focused on along with any special priority creatures like a pet, antagonist, or player.
And leave the rest to update less frequently depending on distance and the number of actors currently in proximity to each other.

intentionally make a change for it too start compiling real quick
trustme its worth it

niceeee
next time youre compiling, 1: go to task manager, ad set the priority of UE4 itself too low, and putl the shadercompile to "Above Normal"
also
pull up your calculator from the stock apps, and make sure thats in focus, for some reason, i just pull up calculator, and make sure its intheforeground,and compiling goes so much faster

Kinda, yeah. More-so call of duty or hollywoodized war films where they show the yellow-ish streak
dire storm
I think there was a very good tutorial on exactly that on youtube actually. I recall seeing it when I was searching around
winged crypt
I mean I got it to work and it looks great but there's a dilemma:
If the mesh is behind the collision, it spawns inside the gun and player. If in front, it ends up penetrating players and walls even though the actual collision happened on the player/wall making it look like penetration without there being any.
Wasn't 100% on where to post this, its both a physics & design problem 🤔

lemme search the youtube real quick. I'm very certain I saw something on exactly what you are talking about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7krvAVH3ZqA like this right @winged crypt

@long lantern remove the light and rebuild lighting in your scene. the shadows appear because it is baked into your scene. first stop the simulation before you click build.

whats up?

@whole quarry just dealing with compute shaders. I got a bunch of answers from folks around here that were generally constructive and useful and a few tutorials that explain some things
despite having info on the subject though, I'm like walking around the problem lol not knowing what angle to jump at cuz I have no experience
ive been circling it for quite a while now just trying to get this little angle so I can get a grip
like the biggest problem here is that i got hella bad ADHD and i learn the best by just hacking at it until it works
but i got nothing to hack at. There's a lot of required reading that you just gotta know
whole quarry
uff, are there no video tutorials available?
glacial arch
not UE4-specific
whole quarry
for me its easier to follow a video than a document
glacial arch
i found a forum entry that describes a way. And there's also an example project for UE4 4.17 that doesn't include returning the data to C++
but no video tutorials that walk you through the process
so technically speaking I think I got all the info I need I'm just having so much trouble sifting through it

couldn't you find a easier thing to get stuck at? 😄

haha I get that a lot
I picked a steep concept as my first game

Has anyone seen updates on dynamic global illumination or light propogation volumes lately?
cloud cobalt
We just know there is an active and growing team at epic on lighting
Might have new features next year
covert tinsel
At least it'll likely be available before my game is done.
tall pendant
The team is focusing on GPU Lightmass and the progressive Lightbaker atm tho
cloud cobalt
Don't base your game on the idea that the engine might get drastically better
Unless you control the engine and develop it yourself
With UE4, it's always a safe assumption that most of it will not change at all, literally, over the course of development
grim sinew
To be fair, if you cared enough about a feature, in the 6 years it'll take to release, you could do it yourself
covert tinsel
I just wanted emissive materials on dynamic objects to mildly light the character and environment. I guess it was too far to expect.
grim sinew
Screen space GI might do it, but that's not a thing ever happening in this engine
You would need to code it yourself
cloud cobalt
Realistically, environment lighting works fine with a few lights
covert tinsel
It's fine. It'll just look odd to have the character's emissives not have the same effect as baked stuff. sigh
grim sinew
If the character itself has emissive, just manually paint the effect it would have on that emissive map.
glacial arch
i have no mouth and i must scream
covert tinsel
Sorry, I'm new and don't understand. I'm talking about weapons that glow as the character walks around getting close to stuff. Is that what you also meant?
cloud cobalt
The key thing is, do you want one specific object to light up, or the scene (ground walls etc) ?
grim sinew
lets stranger handle this one
cloud cobalt
In that case, the easiest solution is to place a light - like a point light - at the center of the character for example
And use lighting channels to not have the character cast shadows
covert tinsel
Yes, I already thought of light sources and believed that it was too expensive. Am I wrong?
tall pendant
Unless you want to use VXGI and waste a lot of perf i guess
covert tinsel
Yes, I would use point lights.
cloud cobalt
Especially unshadowed.
plain nebula
If its not VR, its not expensive to have one dynamical light.
cloud cobalt
Which you probably want
grim sinew
Point/spot lights are going to be orders of magnitude faster than any sort of dynamic GI
cloud cobalt
My best guess : single unshadowed point light attached to your character
covert tinsel
Actually, I did a test and had shadows coming from the object the light was in. Is there a way to avoid that?
cloud cobalt
Overall, as far as lighting goes, we always fake it
The performance cost of actual light simulation is infinitely high, and will pretty much never be worthwile in this century
We just get better and better tools to fake it
languid shard
even better, use an IES profile for your light
covert tinsel
Thanks for the help with the lighting, guys. The effects look fantastic.

[Question] When making videos of level design and small projects would it be better to do that with a fully packaged project or just use the editor?
@grim ore Every day I get to wake up and go straight into UE4 is a blessing. No distractions, full learning. Its a good morning
grim ore
I would say it depends on what you are showing off? Completed project or design stuff then the packaged or standalone so it's performing better and you can probably do full screen easier. If you need to show off the editor then.... editor 😛
dire storm
its mostly I'm toying around with level layouts and I was thinking about starting a youtube portfolio somewhere down the line or so I could share my progress on the forums or whatever.
grim ore
It's a good idea, having stuff for others to see or just for you to look back at your progress is always nice. My thoughts are only show what matters and don't give extra stuff that might distract if possible. It's why I dont use a webcam when doing videos because that just takes up screen space that could be used for real information.
dire storm
nobody wants to see my mug anyways. The lightmap is fucked and the whole thing is poorly rendered.

heh
just keep the stuff clean and to the point if needed. Showing it in editor might be nice if you want to "prove" the performance is in real time for example

@dire storm Cascade will likely remain in the engine for some time, just like how we still have both Matinee and Sequencer years later. Niagara right now is working, but about as unstable as the rest of 4.20, meaning if you're just learning it's probably not the best thing to get into until the next hotfix patch.

Hey there, I have a question that bothers me since a long time.. In my game I have implemented sontroller support, but as you may know, it doesn't work with the PS4 controller. I don't want to use third party softwares like DS4 Windows (that is what will always show up on google), because it needs to be implemented in the game, so when the player starts the game it should work for anyone without downloading any 3rd party software. Do you know a way to really implement PS4 controllers into the game or have other suggestions?

I'm wondering if there are any alternatives which might give better security?

I'm really looking forward to the day when UE4 development is less about constantly dealing with unanswered questions (even for as basic things as to what is the purpose of a mysteriously named setting in a component) and more about easy access to resourceful documentation.

Unreal's advertising is spot on. Their market presence is great. They need to expand on their Q/A, tech support. I have recommendations on how this could be accomplished without drastically increasing staff size. With that said, they may already be addressing the issue.

Can someone help me URGENTLY, i got 40 min to finish the project and i got a ton of errors
if you can help me its appreicated

@ocean hemlock Looks like your SWeapon file has incorrect formatting
Does anyone know if UE 4.19 supports VS 2015?
winged crypt
@ocean hemlock See the line references. For example in SWeapon.cpp (line 33) syntax error: missing ';' before '{' You're probably missing the ';' at the end of that line before opening up with a '{' in the next line.
ocean hemlock
oh
winged crypt
I'm not sure about a few of those errors with redeclarations, someone else can comment on that but most of those errors are just due to missing symbols (you can track them down easily, the error explains & references the line)
ocean hemlock
were would i put the ;
frosty bloom
A code snipet around the errors would make it far easier to help you tbh
high stone
33 needs a { ?
winged crypt
I don't think that's the right file
Is that SWeapon.cpp?
Do a search for SWeapon.cpp in the solution explorer
frosty bloom
Cut all the text from your function, Put a { in there after Fire(), past it back in and end with a }
high stone
Yeah looks like your placement of {} is the problem.

I have serious problems chasing rabbits in UE4. I can literally not focus on anything for more then 5 minutes before running into a question of "What or how does this work" and Alas and wonderlanding myself into a 3 hour time sink down a twisting, winding path completely forgetting what I originally set out to do. UE4 is digital crack for those with ADD.

Okay

This is on a new project in 4.20.1. Also tried the 4.20 binary; same issue
this is what I found through googl
weary basalt
This is normal. VS Intellisense does not play well with UE4 code
mild tendon
though I am unsure what he means for the solution
ok
so i can keep working and it will probably compile normally?
weary basalt
Compile your code, if it compiles everything is normal
mild tendon
ok
appreciated
when the poster says "right click the project"->properties, where is he finding this? certainly not in windows explorer.

I am outta patience as well though. Can someone finish up my MMO game in 30 minutes? I just barely have a rough draft of the first idea on the GDD. Game development is much harder than I thought it would be. Definitely not rainbows, unicorns and cupcakes sadly.
oak swallow
So I have a question, if I'm making an RPG game that'll likely take a few years for me to finish since I'm making everything from scratch including 3d models, do y'all think I should make it vr compatible? (I don't own VR though so likely it'd be really hard for me to test it unless I get a friend to do so) or do you think just making it a regular PC game is fine bc I do prefer PC games over VR personally but in the long run I believe that VR is gonna get really good over the next few years
Although I don't know the first thing about VR so maybe I'm wrong 😅
weary basalt
Im of the opinion that VR is a fad and has no real long term practical place in Gaming. But thats my opinion. I think you should just stick to making it a PC game. Trying to dev for VR without a VR devkit i imagine would be impossible.

@dire storm i dont know man
I have crippling ADHD to the point where i completely failed academia
to me UE4 is thoroughly frustrating and difficult to learn

@glacial arch wrong chat?

Oh boy, bad issue here! My viewport is black upon opening my levels, and wont play, but will play if open split windows, perspective wont work.

@strong fossil nah some posts above a guy said that to people with ADHD UE4 is digital crack
@queen arch i learned the basics a while ago. I'm just saying it was difficult
right now im tormenting myself with compute shaders

Shaders I don't know much about...

But hey! At least you learned the basics 😄

@queen arch not a lot of people do it seems. I'm just reading articles now
yeah, at least i managed that 😃
queen arch
Shaders are different than materials?
glacial arch
@queen arch @Darksouls
@strong fossil im dealing with actual HLSL shaders used to accelerate computations
queen arch
oh, then the Unreal live training video is the best
glacial arch
aint none there for that
queen arch
I too had problems understanding materials
glacial arch
not materials
compute shaders are basically GPU instructions that are dispatched from C++ side of things to accelerate computations where applicable

do u guys want some of my materials or my project that i got the pack cost £140
would make your life much easier
the blending on it is the best

its all about adding better things in like pubg its boring it only has weapons and vehicles i want to make more like tanks and stuff like that to make things fun and challenging
@delicate needle have you got a camera in the map?
and a player spawn
delicate needle
Yeah, a pawn w/ camera attachment
I dont need a player spawn, per say
Everything has been fine until... something happend
strong fossil
must be a bug does it work in selected viewport?
delicate needle
Only if that viewport was ortho to begin with
If I change it to perspective, as in the pop up you see there, Its black, if I go to play it, I get "Failed to create entry point. Try another location, or you may have to rebuild your level." and "Failed to create PlayerStart at desired starting location."
which are just nonsense errors
Its only effecting the current version of my map, if I got to an older one, its fine.
strong fossil
so what are you making?
delicate needle
Arch viz walkthrough prototype
strong fossil
to show off homes or something?
delicate needle
Trying to make a polished protoype to get a client hooked. Yeah, retirement apartments.
strong fossil
UE4 is for games not what your doing you have to have a player start and a camera or it will just glitch and show you under the map or something
well don't have to have a player start but a camera yeah
grim sinew
There is nothing wrong with using UE4 for Archviz, ignore him. Check the #aec-visualization if you have a specific question on that. As for the error itself, hard to say, it sounds like it thinks the spawn is inside something, it may be something's colliding with it.
delicate needle
Zero, I already did ignore him, I literally went to a Epic hosted unreal academy where I was "wined and dined" because of their strong support of enterprise.
Zero, from what I have figured, this has to be a bug.
What works:
- Orthographic views
- Playing the game from a selected orthographic viewport
What does not work:
- Any viewport that is switched to perspective.
- Playing the game from a black active perspective viewport.
My game logic is fine, it was working for the past month. Something is bugged.
worn granite
do you have a pawn in the level you want "play" to start at, or were you using a player start?
worn granite
Did you recently make this map? Its possible your pawn wasn't set to Auto Possess
That's literally my suggestion - just double check that setting on your pawn.
worn granite
Alright. Its just that its the only thing I can think of where you'd start to get errors relating to starting/spawning. No clue what you mean by playing via ortho views.
delicate needle
Okay you see how 3 orthos work, yet perspective is black. Remember the perspecive view should use the default editor camera
Now, when I select the black non working persective viewport - and hit PLAY, I get errors. When I select an ortho view, and hit PLAY it works.
worn granite
try selecting something in outliner and then pressing F
worn granite
you might have to go back to 1 pane
delicate needle
I only have 4x up to illustrate this bug
worn granite
another thing might be that your perspective cam ended up at infinity
or otherwise OOB.
delicate needle
That sounds like a theory
delicate needle
Sorry if my tone is shitty, its not ment to be!
I like that idea of the pserspecive cam being OOB
I appreciate the help, honestly, thank you.

Hey guys! I was wondering if it's possible to rotate a character upside down? I've done a bit of research online but nothing has given me insight on how I can do this.

anyone here use CGTrader for getting models for their game?
I haven't ever bought anything off of it but with my current project there's certain things I can get for quite cheap without having to pay a modeler a bunch of money for
I guess my real question is what is your stance (the person reading this) on using marketplace assets or assets from other online markets in your game that you plan on selling?
I know PUBG has done this with many of the models like the SKS and all the medical supplies are all easily findable on the Unreal Market
grim ore
You're still paying a modeler to model your stuff if you get it off of cgtrader, it's not like it came into existence out of nowhere
thin hemlock
no I mean there's a big price difference
grim ore
That doesn't change anything I said
thin hemlock
I get that but that doesn't really answer my question, maybe I didn't word it clearly, do you think paying a premium for a model that you exclusively will use in your commercial game, better than buying a model off of CGTrader than can be used by other people?
maiden swift
Using stock assets is fine, particularly if you're on a limited budget.
thin hemlock
or is it a better idea to use CGTrader models because you pay less and if your game becomes decently successful then other people are less likely to use that same model if they come across it in their commercially developed game?
maiden swift
Just consider the costs of each approach and decide which one works better for you.
Hiring a modeler will cost more time and money, but you will have more control over art direction and style.
Buying a stock asset will cost a lot less time and money, at the expense of control.
grim ore
well you didn't have to like the answer but you did ask for what my stance was and it was what I said you're paying for a model either way so either you personally have an issue with what you paid for it and getting the quality or you don't. It's your game it really doesn't matter what anyone else says
thin hemlock
It's not that I didn't like your answer it's that your answer didn't fit my question that's why I clarified
grim ore
It's like saying you can't use the doom door sound or The Wilhelm scream just because someone else used it before
maiden swift
Right. It comes down to which one is more important to you: saving money or having control.
grim ore
yep you pay for what you want or you pay for what you get but either way you do what you want to do to get what you want lol
You do you!

anyone know how I can mirror a rotation, so that the player character will turn the opposite way?
honest vale
multiply it with -1
or call the inverse function on a rotator
or something
wait, mirror or invert?
mirroring implies you'd mirror it along some plane but inverting is just inverting 😉

uhhhh
I need him to turn the opposite direction
I'm setting up a walljump system
so when he jumps off the wall
he flips himself in the opposite direction
so the yaw

Hey there, I have a question that bothers me since a long time.. In my game I have implemented sontroller support, but as you may know, it doesn't work with the PS4 controller. I don't want to use third party softwares like DS4 Windows (that is what will always show up on google), because it needs to be implemented in the game, so when the player starts the game it should work for anyone without downloading any 3rd party software. Do you know a way to really implement PS4 controllers into the game or have other suggestions?
@long lantern It doesn't work for PS4 controllers I guess. At least in the Editor Window Preview

No, you can't do that in the light itself
You can however make the lamp not cast shadows
And put the light inside it

maybe increase "Source Radius" maybe it wont cast light on things that are within Source Radius
LightFunction may help too, to mask out a certain range

an i5 6400 with a gtx 1060 is more than adequate to make small games. surely there is something causing the engine to render the shaders and lighting slower than normal.

@heavy falcon Is there any documentation how to create the "master" server ? I cannot seem to find any info about that
heavy falcon
Yup
digital siren
So the master server is just the "backend" ?
heavy falcon
The master server is the first server your client talks to
heavy falcon
the other servers register themselfs at the master server
pallid compass
u wouldnt have every client every talk to just 1 server
Then u wont be able to deal with load / region's
heavy falcon
And the master server enables you to be directed to a regional server
pallid compass
Master Server -> Login Server's -> Game Servers
digital siren
So every region get its own "master" server which would interact with the same API ?
pallid compass
U would never talk directly with a master
a Master server just manages everything else
heavy falcon
No one master server is enough
pallid compass
dude stop it
heavy falcon
it only tells you what regional servers are available to handle the rest
pallid compass
ur gonna confuse him
A master server is a system that manages and maintains other servers, starting more up, or shutting them down.
etc
heavy falcon
That's not correct, also he was talking to me, and I've told him exactly the same thing
A master server does not spin up or handle maintanance of regional servers
pallid compass
Explain how that is incorrect
heavy falcon
Ask blizzard
digital siren
xD
pallid compass
Ofc it does
"master"
do u know what that means
Your master is your manager / info link to everything else.
