polar osprey
Is anyone here familiar at all with fortnite .replay files?
hidden berry
somewhat, why whats up
polar osprey
Basically I'm trying to find the exact name of a player I killed in one of my games. His name contained special character(s) so, I couldnt simply visually look at it and then input it into a fortnite profile viewing website. I found that if I open the .replay file in notepad++, I can find various names of other players in the game that have normal characters. I see where his name would normally be, but it doesn't display properly in notepad++. I'm wondering if there's a way to extract his exact name from the .replay file to be copy/pasteable or something.
Here's a screenshot of his name so you can kinda see what I mean: https://i.gyazo.com/f2d80e4493855895a5865e57fe07bcf7.jpg
polar osprey
That's what my friends and I immediately figured upon first looking at it. However when going to several different fortnite profile lookup sites, entering that name does not return a player profile
hidden berry
hmm ive never tried too display it vsually, lemme see if i can get it
*figure it out
polar osprey
Would it help if I gave you the replay file?
hidden berry
it should be fine, ima send that screengrab too a few friends that always use special characters in their names and see if they have used it before
its unlikely, but theres always a possiblilty that he/she has changed their name since
was this on console or pc
polar osprey
This was on PC, though technically console players can play against PC players. I play on PC, however
I started searching for his name/profile within minutes after the game ended
I dont know much of anything about UE4 or game dev, but I feel like it could be possible to somehow extract the exact name from the replay file. Perhaps by opening it somehow in UE4 instead of fortnite? idk
hidden berry
gotcha gotcha, yeah i dont know why it wouldnt return the name, thats definitely a pipe lol but lets move this too #lounge so we dont get in trouble lol
tawdry raptor
where can I download the default guy for unreal so I can copy and paste his bone strucure into my monster?
grim ore
you can export him out from any project that has him
hidden berry
yeah just start a new project (third person or first person) and retarget your guy with the mannequin
@tawdry raptor
tawdry raptor
does it matter if my guy has different bones then the monster im using
i mean does it matter if my monster uses different bones structure
do I need another third party program to erase and name the bones?
hidden berry
no they just have too be in the closest pose too one another as possible
import your monster, and let unreal create his skeletal mesh (youll probably get the missing bones blah blah blah) then put both the mannequin and your monster in a Tpose, and set them both too the humanoid rig
and retarget
pallid compass
retargeting always makes me mad af
hidden berry
then after that is done, go too your mannequin in the mannequin folder, and select your character
south abyss
I have a timer that executes a function that saves several kb into disk. That happens every 5s, its an autosave. Should i fire the save event with more time delay? is the hdd suffering?
pallid compass
something is always slightly off lmao
dont u think saving every 5 seconds
is massive overkill
south abyss
idk nothing about hdd's xD
hidden berry
@i would do it like every 2 minutes or so
pallid compass
I honestly would not advise it
hidden berry
yeah if youre going too do it at all
pallid compass
Save every X mins and save on important events
tawdry raptor
yeah I make entie copies of my projects everytime i do something
tawdry raptor
after 300 hours I realize I corrupted something in one of my projects
hidden berry
@tawdry raptor if you still need help , message me and i can show you da way
tawdry raptor
and since im new i totally got lost and hand to start all over
ok I will hit u up in a little bit
this will be a huge thing to get the monster to be able to use the marketplace insmations
hidden berry
ive started over multiple time, but on purpose, so that i can learn everything i need too know quicker, by repeatedly doing them
i started on tutorials, and just finished them, and restarted the tutorial, or went too a different tutorial too see how too do something differently
and iight, lemme know
sudden flax
What's the best way to portably access and make changes to my project? Like say I go to a different country, is there a cloud option? Or does it have to be physical?
south abyss
@sudden flax I use a git server
but always have an offline copy so you dont have to download all the project
sudden flax
Does it matter if I don't have an offline version?
Because I'm not taking a spare hard drive with me on a plane that will look dodgy asf
south abyss
Do you mean you want to download your project when you arrive at your destination?
south abyss
Be careful with that, usually hotel connections and traveling internet connections are pretty poor and you'll need a lot of time to download the project. (Assuming you pay a server or you can setup your own server)
cloud cobalt
No you can't run a cloud UE4
south abyss
then np
cloud cobalt
It has to be on your powerful physical computer
And your project too
You can use Git or Perforce to sync up between machines
sudden flax
Yes... I have a GTX 1080 in both of my devices, pc and laptop
cloud cobalt
But you'll need the full UE4 + project on both
sudden flax
Well why can't I source control that?
cloud cobalt
Well, source control the project, obviously
That should be the first step after creating it no matter what
south abyss
I recommend having an offline clone, just in case
cloud cobalt
Source control is offline
sudden flax
Should I just update it to my mega
cloud cobalt
Everything is stored locally
sudden flax
And then dl it over there
south abyss
@cloud cobalt what do you mean? the ue4 source control or just having an external git repo?
i have the ue4 thing disabled
cloud cobalt
Source control in general is not "cloud" - you have your data on your machine, and source control allows syncing it up
south abyss
I know.
cloud cobalt
That's all I'm saying
south abyss
ah, k
cloud cobalt
You need the full engine + project locally
Source control is just a tool to sync up changes
sudden flax
We know that... That's not what I'm asking
hidden berry
should i keep all my assets at the same poly count, or will the render even them out?
south abyss
the engine has a launcher and can be easily downloaded
sudden flax
I was asking is there any convenient way to store my project in the cloud and pickup where I left off on different devices
hidden berry
i would imagine you could just take the whole folder and drag it in
oh yeah nevermind
sudden flax
@cloud cobalt so source control is the cloud project save so to speak?
hidden berry
all your projects are stored on the launcher , so all you would need at that point are the assets and what not
cloud cobalt
Source control is every device having a copy of the project, talkking to eachother
sudden flax
And so if I enable it on my pc how do I retrieve it on my laptop
cloud cobalt
You install the source control software, download all the changes, run the engine
cloud cobalt
Nothing for a small project on Gitlab (except learning Git)
sudden flax
Hmm
cloud cobalt
$$ for a Perforce server that performs better on large binary data
sudden flax
Might just use mega
hidden berry
hypothetically, wouldnt you be able too just drag all the files into a google drive and download from there?
cloud cobalt
Just use source control
sudden flax
That's what I'm now considering
cloud cobalt
Really
south abyss
Its a very bad idea
hidden berry
no im just asking, because i may need too do it also in the future
but ill look into source control
south abyss
You are going to upload and download dozens of GB's every time you make a change?
south abyss
wasn't for you xD
cloud cobalt
x)
cloud cobalt
Gitlab* free
sudden flax
What's the difference
cloud cobalt
Github is free but very limited and no free private projects
cloud cobalt
1GB
sudden flax
My project is 18 gb
cloud cobalt
You'll need paid hosting then
sudden flax
Prices?
south abyss
@sudden flax a software detects what you had on the last change (commit) and what you have now and only saves the difference, so instead of 2 copies of the same project, it only uses some disk space, this way you can upload changes of a very big project (dozens of GBs) to your git server in seconds
a paid server isn't cheap.
you can build your own server in your home, also if you do the first commit in lan you can upload to disk speeds (seconds instead of minutes/hours)
I have mine in a rpi with a huge disk, power consumption is way cheaper than any server
south abyss
then you can build a server and save its data there
inland seal
Theres also SourceTree nad Bitbucket
south abyss
I recommend you https://github.com/gogs/gogs Its pretty similar to github (intended), its really easy to install/use and its on of the more resource efficient
they have a demo site: https://try.gogs.io/
sudden flax
I might host it from my College FTP
Faster download/upload speed
Because they have like 1gb down and 500mb up
south abyss
nice
sudden flax
When we download fortnite there it's our hard drives bottle necking lol

cursive walrus
how do i import mesh separately? seems combine mesh checkbox is not visible in import settings
inland seal
Are you importing a FBX?
stoic dew
I have a folder with a lot of different assets in it that I want to move to another project. If I just copy and paste the folders it works but none of the materials keep their textures and im sure other settings are reset as well. Is there a way I can package them up to import into another project?
earnest pawn
or is there a plugin in the market place? i cant seem to find one which has client side prediction built in like the default character movement component
inland seal
@stoic dew you can migrate assets in engine.
@earnest pawn prone in the movement? Meaning having it stay in one position?
stoic dew
thank you crazyL
past mulch
earnest pawn
@inland seal i want to be able to crawl along the floor, i tried adding a capsule thats laid out horizontally and playing the prone animation
but in the movement it only checks the original capsule thats inherited from ACharacter
inland seal
@cursive walrus hmm odd that you are getting no option to uncheck combine mesh.
@earnest pawn this is outside of my realm, but are you checking the capsule you added? Or changing the capsule thats inheirted?
earnest pawn
just found this now /** * The component we move and update. * If this is null at startup and bAutoRegisterUpdatedComponent is true, the owning Actor's root component will automatically be set as our UpdatedComponent at startup. * @see bAutoRegisterUpdatedComponent, SetUpdatedComponent(), UpdatedPrimitive */ UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadOnly, Transient, DuplicateTransient, Category=MovementComponent) USceneComponent* UpdatedComponent;
cursive walrus
@inland seal is there other method for uncombined mesh?
inland seal
@cursive walrus Are your meshes separate in your modeling program? As another way would be to import separately.
hidden berry
why does my engine keep crashing when i try too import this file ๐ฉ
@cursive walrus what kind of model is it? i always get the option to either combine or not combine
cursive walrus
@inland seal yes they are separated. i tried that, although i have problem on sync animations between gun and the character. when reloading. especially when i tried to do a test my repeatingly pressing the reload button. they lose sync when i do that
@hidden berry oh its just a model from unreal. the first person asset and the gun. transfer it to thirdperson.
hidden berry
oh so just the character and a weapon?
cursive walrus
yes
i just wanna do pretty cool animations with the gun and the character. with perfect sync
also what version are you using?
hidden berry
go to cgtrader.com or turbosquid.com , and you can find better characters and rigged/animated weapons , most of the time for free. Plus when you sign up for cgtrader you get 20 bucks too spend for free (i have nothing too do with either of those sites, they just are very helpful for my projects)
im using 4.19.2
i was able too get almost everything i needed on both of those sites, without spending a dime
cursive walrus
im also using 4.19. how is it different XD
frosty bloom
@hidden berry How do you know for certain you can use any of the models? Legit licenses, non pirated models etc
Have the websites a policy page telling you they will take any blame for pirated models etc? If not you are in deep water using free models
hidden berry
because it states in the description what the license for the fbx is, some do say "may need further permissions for commercial use"
plus all of the assets are vetted and have a green check mark for approval
frosty bloom
I can upload a pirated model with a license saying you can use it commercially. Doesn't mean I own any rights to do so.
hidden berry
guess if that does come up even after all that, its the sites fault for not vetting even harsher lol
cloud cobalt
It's not
frosty bloom
You have to own the rights to a model to be able to transfer those rights
cloud cobalt
I once paid $90 for a trailer soundtrack
Sold by a website, which bought it from a composer
tall pendant
both mentioned sites do have a bad reputation in developer circles due to ripped/pirated assets.
cloud cobalt
Composer used unlicensd music, my trailer was gone
tall pendant
I'd stay away from them.
cloud cobalt
๐คท
hidden berry
you just ruined my day lol
frosty bloom
Or saved you, however you wanna take it
hidden berry
i thought i hit the jackpot for helpful assets
what i dont get though is
what if i make a model
frosty bloom
Anything free is risky business. Unless it's the free assets on the marketplace released BY epic themself
hidden berry
and i give it away for free voluntarily , legit and all, would that still be able too be used in projects for other people?
cloud cobalt
Sure
But people should make sure you give them that right
In a way that's clear-cut and not just a vague agreement
hidden berry
well, let me ask, is there any websites that have legit models? i dont care if its free or not, im just still trying too learn ue4 fully, and i dont want too get into learning modeling ontop of that
hidden berry
yeah but isnt it against unity and unreal policy too cross use assets
cloud cobalt
Yes
hidden berry
nah , i read unitys policies because i knew unreal was strict about that, and it also states it in unity
hidden berry
"unless private and given permission by user"
the only reason i thought the other sites were legit is because i saw multiple people recommending them, and i thought they were primarily aimed too 3DPrinting, and not specifically for games
cloud cobalt
The general point is - in today's legal environment of crazy people sueing eachother, and legal rights rampaging up for centuries after you're dead, be very very sure that you are in the right
Mostly, if it's free, beware
tall pendant
The standard license in the Unity Store actually allows you to use assets in any engine. The UE4 one doesn't.
You need however to download them with a Unity intall.
hidden berry
yeah i dont care about paying i just need too find assets that are better than what i could make lol
static viper
then you should prolly go the best way
hire a freelancer
then you have assets that only belong to you
hidden berry
@tall pendant im not sure then, cause i bought an rpg HUD asset pack on unity, and was told that i couldnt use it in any other engine than unity, and too "read the terms of agreement" because i wanted too make sure
cloud cobalt
The engine marketplace is a great place to start
hidden berry
yeah ive scoured the epic marketplace for hours, and didnt really find much. I will say, the unity marketplace is way more vast on assets
tall pendant
Well yeah. Unity does allow for custom stipulations. Perhaps that's the case with said asset pack.
I know Quixel has their own license on the Unity Store.
hidden berry
yeah i use megascans quite often for photorealistic assets
tall pendant
UE4 MP is much clearer on that.
hidden berry
real quick while were talking, anyone know why a specific asset would crash my engine every single time? i know my other error was because i didnt have my laptop on the charger, and for some reason that crashes the engine , but im not sure about this one
tribal pebble
Anyone knows if the Html5 integration got improved in the new update?
tall pendant
I dunno. A single asset crashing the engine sounds odd to me.
But you never know ๐
hidden berry
@static viper you have any good places for freelancers?
@tall pendant its whenever i try too import it, ill try too get it too crash again and get the crash report
but it says right in the crash report that it pertains too the import of "bus_station" asset
@frosty bloom would it matter if youre not selling the game for anything? if you were too run into a pirated asset, could they sue for making money from it, or for just having it in general?
ive been in music for 14 years, so im pretty knowledgeable of those types of things, but im not sure if it works the same for 3d assets
frosty bloom
The assets are not in your hands by legal means, which means you are not allowed to distribute them to anyone, no matter the circumstances
hidden berry
cause in music, you can only sue if its for profit in most cases (since most samples used in beats are from other music also) and damn, that blows. I was up all night downloading assets, is there anyway too tell if theyre legit or not? or should i just scrap all of them
frosty bloom
I would personally scrap them, it's all up to you though.
hidden berry
i dont have the money too get sued over free assets lol might as well just pay for them in the first place honestly
thanks for the heads up though, i honestly though those sites were legit, cause i hadnt heard different
thought*
frosty bloom
@hidden berry Also, just by showcasing enough of your game (If it contains pirated assets) you can recieve a CaD, which would be a worst case scenario.
hidden berry
CaD?
frosty bloom
Cease and Desist
hidden berry
damn
frosty bloom
Meaning erase your game from existence
hidden berry
i have money for assets set aside, but i saw free assets and thought why not save that money for other things lol
frosty bloom
The long story short version is if you aren't 100% sure you got the rights to distribute something, it's usually a good idea to don't do it
hidden berry
gotcha gotcha, i will heed that advise
wary wave
C&D isn't the worst case scenario tbh
however you tend to be okay so long as you never release your project
fierce tulip
bleh writing down stuff for vert slices and making sure nothing is left out is head-ache inducing

hidden berry
ill probably just hire someone too make assets honestly, i dont need that many.
hidden berry
when it comes too that though, how can i tell if someones just not taking assets from somewhere else and passing them off as theirs also
fierce tulip

cedar snow
if i have two actors and their collisions set to BlockAll and also ticked BeginOverlap shouldn't i get overlap events?
fierce tulip
well, i'd expect progress reports/gifs/images
hidden berry
what are you trying too do no7
cedar snow
i'am trying to apply damage and then destroy an actor if it hits another actor
hidden berry
@cedar snow do they have collisions around them with generate overlap?
@sudden flax do you have the intensity of the spotlights turned up
cedar snow
they both have static mesh as root component and sweep is set to true
hidden berry
is it close combat or projectile damage
cedar snow
does BeginOverlap only work with triggers where actors penetrate?
sudden flax
@hidden berry yes
cedar snow
just two cubes at the moment
wary wave
it'll only work if the collision settings are correct
i.e the object can overlap, and they generate overlap events
hidden berry
@sudden flax hmmm, thats strange, i had my spotlight linked too a keypress for a character flashlight, and never had issues after building
cedar snow
@wary wave they both have the flag for generating overlap events set to true and all collision channels set to block
wary wave
if they block they don't overlap
wary wave
they generate hit events instead
cedar snow
what would you use for enemies that damage a player on hit?
hidden berry
yeah thats why i was confused when you said block all so i was trying too see exactly what you were trying too accomplish
cedar snow
non-blocking & generating overlap events, as they;re discrete (one-time events)?
wary wave
it depends how they 'hit' a player
cedar snow
moving into them
hidden berry
i personally used a capsule around the character , and a collsion around the weapon of choice
cedar snow
or the player moves into them
wary wave
if they're literally just bumping into the player (i.e collision capsule on collision capsule), the use the hit events
cedar snow
thanks i will check that out
fierce tulip
why not just make the headlamps emissive?
sudden flax
Idk
fierce tulip
cheaper and more control over them

tropic pilot
can someone help me out in the Graphics Channel! :/
worn granite
When I looked at it, it was very cry. Cryengine has vis scripting.
Last I heard was that LY had a small userbase. If the only thing its got going for it is "not CE" and "visual scripting" I don't think its even close.
plush yew
star citizen tho
stoic dew
its got a really good and thread safe ecs
worn granite
Also, IIRC star citizen had a lot of custom edits to CE before moving to LY. They were able to port those, pretty quickly too.
Default LY probably doesn't have those edits.
Just because something is possible in LY doesn't mean its practical for just anyone to up and do.
stoic dew
default ly has everything you need to make a fully functional game
stoic dew
what about it?
worn granite
its a terrible argument
LY is an unreal killer because a skilled team customized CE heavily and then ported their edits to LY
stoic dew
I haven't followed much of the development. but i can't possibly see what kind of custom stuff they needed to port to ly
worn granite
So yeah. I mean. LY by definition provides a platform from which you can build a game. But you can't then credit LY for any heavy edits a game makes to it.
Ergo, terrible argument in favor of LY... well, really, in anything.
plush yew
AWS ?
stoic dew
Yeah
plush yew
I though its the most cost effective platform to host at
stoic dew
maybe at small scale
Not large
if you got 30 servers pumping bandwidth aws will get pretty expensive
worn granite
In any case. Too niche, too restrictive, not distinct enough from cry. That's my take.
plush yew
oh
stoic dew
multi thread safe ecs doesn't make it distinct from just about everything else?
worn granite
Ok. You've brought this to my attention. 1 down, the entire development community to go.
stoic dew
im not a fan of it for other reasons but to say its not distinct enough from cryengine is false.
plush yew
i dont know the backstory. Did cryengine devs get poached by amazon or something?
stoic dew
well no shit xd
They've had plenty of time to market the engine. I don't really think they care to
grim ore
Amazon is aiming lumberyard at their clients, they aren't and do not care to really extend past that at this point. When I talked with the visual scripting guys at GDC they aren't even adding in features they want if they don't align with what their customers want directly. They devs are just working on features as requests from existing customers. I wouldn't ever expect to to "want" to expand to the general people
wary wave
that might bite them in the arse later down the line
I mean, it might suit their existing customers, but it's not necessarily going to help with customer acquisition

damn it a guy on cgtrader ripped me off he sold me a character with no color
its all grey when i imported it into unreal
he gave me no texture files either
what can I do>
?
tawdry raptor
well the bastard sold me a unity fbx
someone said it could be used
I just opened it in unity and saw the texutres
I dont know why my FXB doesnt show them
no it said fbx files and everyone here said fbx can be used in unreal
high stone
I avoid premade stuff as much as possible. The trade off is it takes a lot of time to make. But long term I have my own metal shaders, toon shader, etc.
tawdry raptor
its funny it wont show in blender
I import and nothign shows
but it does in unreal

I have my own custom trees. That took forever. Bar none it's best to buy trees.
tawdry raptor
how did you set up your collision on your trees did you use simple colliion as complex or did you manually put nav boxes on all of them?
high stone
Collision was pretty easy. Most trees cover just the base region. Unless you got a guy jumping around.
Found the tree file.

so uh guys i understand that for multiplayer we would also need to purchase a server to store data and connect players together? But how about LAN? Does there need to be a dedicated server or is it a totally different framework?

No, there is no difference between LAN or Internet
you just need to use a different SubSystem
sullen bone
Hi, I am from unity! If you already got some experience programming in c# how hard is it to understand and learn the blueprint system?
plush yew
@sullen bone not too hard, it's a great system. really improves accessibility to designers.
sullen bone
@plush yew ah thank you, is the logic very comparable to c#?
plush yew
it's basically flow control nodes like foreach, and switch, connected by execution pins, all node based. starts with begin play node most of the time. then execution goes from there. that link in addition to the unreal engine youtube channel has some good playlists.

Anyone got an idea who I should contact if I want to re-create this multiplayer game:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal_II:_The_Awakening#eXpanded_MultiPlayer
and publish it as free to play?
I don't want to mention Unreal 2 IP stuff in the game nor copy the art etc. I just want to recreate the core gameplay mechanics nearly 1:1 and maybe reference the original XMP in the game description.
I'm not even sure if the gameplay can be copy righted - or if it matters since the game is 15 years old and dead.
grim sinew
Even just the description from the snippet of wikipedia Discord grabbed, that sounds like a licensing nightmare between at minimum 4 companies
Probably can't legally happen
Game mechanics however, cannot be copyrighted. So do with that what you will.
But... it's a grey area since it's doing it almost 1:1, afaik.
static viper
since its a blizinski game
you should be able to get license holder via epic
because its a brand
and epic is still using it
but the chances are... more then mini
recreating the core mechanics tho
Is a story for its own
you are not the only one and unreal was after quake
So as long as you dont 1:1, do 2:1
kind dune
Yeah I would like to get out of that grey area though. I guess I'll have to contact Epic eventually.
static viper
yee but its likely that they wont deny you
you need to protect yourself from plagarism
so dont tell them that you do 1:1...
thats just weird
unless fan project
dim arch
is there any way to create light shafts which show without looking at the light source
tall pendant
they even put their own Unreal based MP game on hold (or even canned it?) i doubt they would allow a fan project tbh.
dim arch
for example a light shaft casting through fog
tall pendant
they need to protect their IP
dim arch
(besides using a mesh)
grim sinew
Volumetric fog and a mesh.
There are your two options, knock yourself out ๐
Only two options in existence
kind dune
What do you mean with "unless fan project" @static viper ?
dim arch
yeah
kind dune
I don't plan to make any profit with the project.
dim arch
I figured as much
tall pendant
You would still use their IP tho
static viper
a fan project is unbound from restriction in the way of destribution
you would be free to just re create everything
but still
they have the last say
So yes. speak to them

how far can i get here while avoiding code like kryptonite?
grim sinew
Depends on whether or not you define blueprints and materials as code.
And if you just want to make pretty pictures or a game.

or at least, depending on the complexity of the game

im making something similar to sumotori dreams but it looks nicer

is there a place i can find an explaination for what all the nodes do?
grim sinew
The UE4 docs has all of them, but they're not on one page on account of there being... a lot of nodes.
Thankfully there's a handful, maybe a dozen or two that you need to learn before you can get started at least
shut shore
can you link me? thanks for all the help btw
grim sinew
https://api.unrealengine.com/INT/BlueprintAPI/ This has them listed by category. So if you click on "AI" for example you'll see all the AI nodes.

Does anyone know how to create AudioCue that, when I re-enter the radius the audio will continue to play
Sounds simple but I never got it right
bitter iris
@twin tulip Can you DM me
grim ore
how are you triggering the audio cue? and do you mean just having the audio looping? if so set the wav to loop and then trigger the cue when you enter a trigger volume
fossil ore
@grim ore I don't really want to trigger audio cue... I want the audio cue to continously playing It's audio regardless If I'm in radius or not.
Think of a Radio.
grim ore
so you just want the audio to only be heard from a certain distance? if so it should do that automatically based on your settings when it's in the world
or is it shutting itself off when you are out of range?
fossil ore
It's shutting itself when I'm out of range... when I select LOOPING... It will start looping from zero
grim ore
yeah that makes sense hmm.. Maybe use a collision setup anyways and have it store the current play time when you exit and start it back to that when you get near?
tawdry raptor
my re-target animation is not working! I have retargted my animation but it doesnt show up when I go to re target why?
grim ore
darn even that might not work well since you are faking passage of time so you dont want the same time stamp. might need to do some fancy stuff then. you could technically make it an always on always playing sound and just mute it when you get farther away but that feels weird.
maybe do the whole blueprint thing and capture the timestamp of the audio and the game time then restart it based on elapsed time

I am attemtping to build the engine from source code. When I get to the point I need to run GenerateProjectFiles.bat it it complains that I don't have nuget package manager installed and tells me to install it before continuing. I already have nuget installed does anyone know how to fix this? Things I have tried - reinstalling nuget from visual studio, updating visual studio, updating msbuild tools reinstalling visual studio, reinstalling ms build tools. Nothing seems to make the generate project files batch file recognize that nuget is already installed

Could someone thats able to get the engine built from source take a screenshot of their visual studio launcher for me? I am missing something and I don't know what it is. It is telling me to install nuget even tho it already is.
plush yew
okay I have a very weird issue...
so I have a string table in my game with the namespace "KernelSpam"
containing 100 lines of Linux kernel messages
and, I don't want to localize that table, just use it as a way to store the messages
and this works fine by using a function sort of like this:
(goes through all registered string table IDs, looks up their namespaces, finds one whose namespace matches the one supplied in the input parameter, then looks up all source strings in that namespace and returns an array of what it finds)
EXCEPT
the string table is not "registered" until I open it in the string table editor.
so the function returns an empty array.

Whats the best way to start a project? I've gotten down the basic character movements and some mechanics

hmmmm @worn granite I'm not sure how to get UBT to Specify /EHsc but MSVC seems to really want UBT to Specify /EHsc
worn granite
Yeah. Iunno.
@plush yew in the build.cs you can try UEBuildConfiguration.bForceEnableExceptions = true;
Not sure.

Is it safe to 'Force Delete' something if it only has Memory References (No Asset References)?

I just think everyone pools it together falling to realize there are actual sub sections based on technical aspects IE. 8bjt VS 16bit VS 32bit etc
plush yew
Hey, I was right
Logic saved me
if a plugin needs exception handling, your game will too.
otherwise, if that plugin kicks out an exception and doesn't handle it, how the fuck will the game handle it?
fierce tulip
@inland seal well first I am going to do a bleepload of vert slices, once thats working the way I want, I'll probably set up the whole game with cheap/crappy placeholders so I can play the whole thing, and only then spend money on art assets
shut shore
i opened a third person project but now i want it to be first person without a viewmodel

@fierce tulip that's a fair and legit approach.
Even with place holders you can get the lighting and what have you down.
Are you looking at the way Octopath Travel work?
fierce tulip
ive yet to play it, though I dont want that kind of 8-bit style. its really cool though

why do I feel like packaging a project in UE4 would be better if it had a progress bar? lol
fierce tulip
8/16
inland seal
@fierce tulip I appreciate the palette and vfx and lighting, but yeah I agree. I like the higher detail of sprites
fierce tulip
most of the vfx is actually quite easy to make and set up, but that doesnt matter much as it fits the scenes
inland seal
Indeed
What style would you be looking toward? Era of Sega Genesis? PS1?
I see you have a fondness for those rpgs ;p
fierce tulip
snes/genesis
phantasy star 4/breath of fire and the like

Ahhh yeah those are solid. And good sprite work
fierce tulip
yea, well.. phantasy star 4 doesnt look at that good, but its battle scenes and comic-ish cuts make up for it
inland seal
Generally though- yeah you beat me too it lol

still one of my fav games of all time
the vfx/macro/combining vfx still makes me smile

There's a lot of Epic staff though. The people doing live training streams aren't necessarily indicative of everyone else.

moves?
hidden berry
its hard too explain, it almost looks like a kaleidoscope when i move my pov
its very reflective and shifty
and its not like the street texture is anything complicated, just a normal map, base colo, ambient occlusion, and specular
fierce tulip
ue4 uses roughness maps, not spec
hacky way is to invert spec and plug it into roughness
but its better to get an actual roughness
hidden berry
so just a scalar param would do and mess with the value, and do away with the specular?
oh
just saw the invert of the spec
is there a way too invert in ue4 or do i need too invert within normalmaponline

Heya team. So I'm still learning some of the basics of C++ and I have a question regarding using short int vs int in unreal. its int32 for unreal right? Is there really a reason or is it preferred to use something like short int vs regular ints for stuff you know is always going to be small. Say health bars you know wont ever go to a billion (100 max health locked). I say this because I always see in the tutorials people just using regular int or floats for everything. Does it really even make a difference in performance and memory usage?
queen arch
I used to obsess about that kind of things. No. Not at all. We are living in a world where variable sizes, unless we are talking about billions of them, are just a drop in the ocean.
You only need to optimize big stuff. Don't even bother with the small.

I need some advice, visually.
I'm making a 2d side scroller where you can shoot and stuff, but you shoot towards the mouse cursor, ie free-shooting.
Now, how would this look? I can't make sprites for every tiny angle change to make sure the character aims toward the mouse.
I was considering having one arm and the weapon as different sprites which rotates according to the mouse, but I feel like thats going to look weird.
If someone has any advice or tips, I will gladly take 'em.
