It's too hard there
Should I start by making money from making paid Android games?
Using gamemaker
teal glen
I'm still in school and here nobody accepts people who aren't in uni
I'm a few steps away from uni tho
What should I go for in university?
I really like the idea of making games
I have no idea what I should go for
I make good YouTube videos about just anything including gaming
I make videos for myself and for people irl
I have good knowledge in PCs
I love computers
Should I go for something like programming or something?
Btw @cloud cobalt the game is gonna have a lot of animations and cutscenes.
Are those easy in unreal?

@teal glen afaik in uni you have outdated shit
in gamedev at least
but you still need

What's a great name for a kinda-openworld-scifi-kinda-stealth-action-puzzler-adventure game?
teal glen
Hm
cloud cobalt
You don't care about the name
plush yew
btw
teal glen
I picked a meh name that I don't wanna share here cause it sounds so dumb
teal glen
People say unity is harder than unreal blueprints a few months ago here
cloud cobalt
Or the story, or the logo, or the graphics - care about the gameplay, the features you believe you can actually bring to your game without spnding half a decade
teal glen
Hmmm
teal glen
Would you like a game with lots of ways to play the game? (Go stealth or action or Darksouls-like-swords or Ninja-like etc.)
inland seal
Is funny we went to unreal
plush yew
gamedev is last resort for people without job
teal glen
No it's not
fierce tulip
@plush yew behave
inland seal
Hahaha
inland seal
Wow that's still a pointed comment
cloud cobalt
Ideas don't have much value
fierce tulip
@indigo veldt there is a looking for talent channel, but nobody will take you serious unless you can show you have content to work with and the skills to make it happen
teal glen
They do, they help you make the game the way you wanted it
inland seal
@teal glen IDEA PEOPLE are not good generally. You need to do morw
tall pendant
execution > idea
teal glen
Either they helped a little or they didn't help
copper lava
@indigo veldt I made the begonnong of a horror game two 2 years ago
plush yew
idea is also important
teal glen
Cause they didn't understand the game
plush yew
but you need skills first
cloud cobalt
Ideas are worthless, execution of ideas is what might have value
plush yew
i have many ideas but most of the time dont know how to proceed
fierce tulip
worn granite
I've found that people IRL that you try to bring into dev aren't suited for dev. People in dev you become friends with IRL, OTOH...
teal glen
I've been thinking about sketching an animation of the story and sending it to everyone who wants to be involved to get an idea of the story. Should I do that? It'll take me a bit of time tho
inland seal
Best I can tell you, is stop asking what people want or what they would do.
Any project you make needs to be for yourself.
Any path you take needs to be based on Your circumstances and what fullfils your short and long-term goals goals. @teal glen
plush yew
@worn granite what is OTOH
plush yew
Nice
teal glen
@inland seal you mean I can't go telling my friends to learn gamedev together to make things go faster and easier?
Cause I gotta go do everything for my self..?
I kinda don't understand what you meant
inland seal
And generally your first project/idea will be poop. Don't fall in love with it. @teal glen
teal glen
Ehhh
worn granite
Well you can definitely try
teal glen
I've been developing the story for a long time now
worn granite
be prepared to sacrifice friendships
plush yew
lmao immut
worn granite
be prepared to be the only person in the team thats invested and not just doing it to be with friends
inland seal
I'm not saying don't encourage them but yes you need to work with the mentality that you'll do things by yourself and be a. Team player
teal glen
It's gonna be a mindfuck story for the people who will play it
cloud cobalt
Story is cool, but it's not valuable if the gameplay isn't good
teal glen
That will make sense once you understand it all
plush yew
@worn granite better if he does it alone
teal glen
@cloud cobalt yeah I've kinda learned that from metal gear
worn granite
Who knows, maybe you have the right friend group
inland seal
@worn granite bingo. Already went through that. But thinning out the herd was good
worn granite
worth a shot, but expect very little and let it drop rather easily if you value your friends.
fierce tulip
inland seal
@teal glen I'll be honest I don't like where you going with things.
Before you break rules you gotta learn em.
worn granite
If I held my "lets make games together" friends to task, they'd have me blocked
teal glen
@inland seal teach me the rules
fierce tulip
spend a few years doing tutorials and joining gamejams
inland seal
I'd recommend starting small then, grow bigger. Otherwise you're gonna burn out, get fustrated and be finished before you even start
cloud cobalt
People always start gamedev thinking they've got a great idea that is very original and very interesting
Often it's actually "Hugely successful AAA title but with zombies"
Which is really "project I won't complete"
Indies, amateurs do the game they can do
fierce tulip
"ignore vert slices, lets just make a cool environment"
worn granite
I can't tell you the number of pepple I've seen with "Lets smash 5 full fledged games together, but with a bigger scope for each. Also its MMO."
inland seal
If it's not fun with blocks and squares what makes you think it will with flashing stuff
fierce tulip
if you really want to become a game developer, do "getting started" tutorials, find what you like doing, follow more tutorials than you can count about that, join gamejams, take it from there
plush yew
we can teamwork dude
pallid compass
oh lordy
fierce tulip
if you have zero experience in gamedev or anything related to it, a proper "pong" game will take you months, imagine how long a AAA FPS MMORPG battle royale zombie shooter will take you
cloud cobalt
My take on game dev is, the scope (volume & complexity) of a game is the single most important decision in creating a game. It's the most common cause of dead projects.
If you end up completing a game, then the second most important is how original it is
pallid compass
90% of the people who come through here who say there gonna make a game never even get half way.
plush yew
imo complex games can be reduced but still fundamentally the same
pallid compass
Start small.
inland seal
Agreed
cloud cobalt
It's not just starting small, it's making sure the small version of the game is still good
inland seal
My artist, boss, and I sat down one night and made a pyramid breaking down the important parts of our game. What could we take out before it was not the same
teal glen
How do I start small?
inland seal
For beginners I'd say start small and competing a project are the most important things. Then you get nuance
teal glen
I can't think of game ideas
I'm obsessed with my game idea
Any small game ideas to go for?
fierce tulip
make pong
inland seal
You have to get out of that. Not all ideas are good or even worth entertaining
plush yew

Pong, tetris, Mario.... Think of those
plush yew
did you even open unreal
teal glen
I did a while ago
inland seal
Replicate them. Understand what's happening
plush yew
lol
tall pendant
Breakout is another "small" game.
teal glen
Also are cutscenes easy to make once you learn them?
tall pendant
It can still take a lot of time and effort tho
teal glen
What are some things you need to learn before using unreal? Like character modelling
pallid compass
Does additional directories never to cook not work?
inland seal
@teal glen I think you should take some time to go do some research
teal glen
About what
Unreal?
I'm really confused about what should we learn before starting to use unreal
inland seal
@indigo veldt if you have to ask then that might be an indicator
teal glen

stuck linden
can anyone help me
with U4.19
i just wanna know if there's anyway to stop this message to popup every single asset that i import
next lance
Uh... Unreal Engine sure seems different from Unity. Seems I really need to do some basic tutorials. I have managed to built a custom version of the engine and have opened a few different maps, but moving assets and such between different projects, looking at what each actor / object in the seem is and can do, how to copy components and attributes from one object to another... its all so different. Also I really need to change this UI layout. Feels pretty cluttered.
Other than that, it also feels a lot more polished than Unity so far, and when I get to know how to use all these features it has, there sure seem to many many interesting features here.
*be
Btw when learning to make games, personally I just follow different tutorials to learn new things. If you are new to making games and do not have experience with programming, find some blueprint tutorials. They are pretty easy to start out with. Then there are some different tutorials for different game types, maybe start with the ones you find most interesting.
next lance
Yeah, I would not advise that at all
You would hit roadblocks at every turn. You first need the basics or you wont get anywhere
plush yew
yea
and thats how you learn
why make something boring unrelated
when can start from ur project
tame bluff
Does updating 4.20.2 install a new separate version
next lance
Its how you get frustrated and stop trying it. Follow some good video tutorials first on how to do different things, then as you learn you get more ideas on what you can do on your own. If you do not have the patience for this, game development might not be for you
tame bluff
or is it just an update for any current 4.20 installs
next lance
Pretty sure it updates the current 4.20 engine you have installed
tame bluff
@next lance Any particular reason you're building the engine from scratch?
It sounds like you don't have much experience with UE4 in general let alone enough to justify using the source.
next lance
Only reason is because I wanted the engine to have and support FleX
tame bluff
0lento has a build that supports flex.
next lance
Yup, and its pretty great
tame bluff
But yeah I see what you mean
stuck linden
Can i pm @plush yew
tame bluff
Flex is dope
Also you should try to avoid copying project files around UE4 doesn't make it easy.
next lance
Its the one I am using, now I just need to learn how to use the editor again... I used it a bit about 2-3 years ago but I have been using Unity a lot since, and it all seems strange to me
tame bluff
It does a lot of references
so when you migrate a single asset it might migrate an entire hierarchy of dependencies.
Super annoying
next lance
Yeah, thats what I suspected, so I was considering copying the files around, but it seems like it would be a problem
stuck linden
Are u very familiar with ue4 @tame bluff
next lance
I am used to just copy stuff between projects all the time
stuck linden
do u know how to not have this popup every asset that i import
im trying to import a load of assets but it's so hard when i have to press ok for each one of them
next lance
I think its about what material and such the engine should use for the texture / image you are importing?
tame bluff
and it shouldn't have issues importing multiple files at once
I do it all the time O_o
tame bluff
I never drag
next lance
It only seems to allow for certain file types though?
tame bluff
I mean I usually import from weird locations that are never opened up anyways
you can only import assets that UE4 supports. Of course.
next lance
I have a FleX project and a VR project, and I want the FleX stuff in the VR project. But I cannot find any "valid" files in the FleX projects contents
tame bluff
You can theoretically put the assets manually into the cotent folder if it's not generally supported within UE4 and you want to support it manually or something
I'm not completely familiar with that stuff though
next lance
I will just google a bit then, but I should most likely just get some basic tutorials over with. I am just grasping in the dark here ๐
next lance
importable files
tame bluff
any flex asset
and it should migrate over every file related to the asset including folder hierarchy's.
next lance
So you should be able to just select a whole folder?
tame bluff
If not, all the files in a specific folder -> Migrate
next lance
Without using the import button in the content browser then?
Or would this be after copying that folder into this project manually?
tame bluff
migrating assets automatically exports assets into another project
no import needed
so you click migrate, choose a project or whatever, and it imports them I believe.
I havent' done it in a while.
But yeah that's the gist of it.
next lance
Well, problem still is I can only see folders, but not the files
tame bluff
I don't have flex these days, wasn't using it since 4.18
Flex files should exist
like templates and stuff
next lance
I cannot even find valid files in the VR project... hmmm, I think I will try to launch the regular Unreal Engine maybe and see if something is wrong with this build or something
tame bluff
valid files?
Again, what do you mean by that? What is an "invalid" file to you?
The only stuff you really need for flex are those physics models assets
I forget their name
flex core components or something
you prefab them or use the ones they have as examples and they determine the behaviour of the system you apply them to
and their materials are nice
next lance
Valid means something I can actually see and select when trying to import
So that it does not all look like empty folders I am browsing
tame bluff
So like, you open your project, and both are empty
next lance
So UE4 compatible files
tame bluff
like I mean you're inside the UE4 editor
and you're not seeing any files in your hierarchy?
next lance
I have tried manually browsing the same folders I am browsing with the import function
tame bluff
leave the import function
next lance
They often contain UASSET files
tame bluff
open flex project
inside flex project choose asset you want to migrate
right click
migrate
choose project
done
next lance
ahh... so I migrate them... that makes more sense
well, some sense ๐
Thanks
I should have considered what migrate means
tame bluff
Asset Actions btw
Right click -> Asset Actions -> Migrate
You should only ever migrate assets over because that ensures all dependencies are carried over too.
next lance
Thanks, that helps a lot... I think. Yup, it worked
tame bluff
np
next lance
Oh... seems like its very easy to make a project into a VR project btw. That is with the same controls but being able to control the camera with your VR headset and then have regular controls for the game. That is pretty nice
tame bluff
I don't know if you have seen it but you should look into VR Expansion.
The default project does that.
They use for examples
But basically you just detect whether or not hmd is being used and if not you change the player pawn to be a 2D actor instead of a VR one
urban mango
Hey I am new
next lance
I think I am using the VR expansion template
Maybe... at least I am using a VR scene that supports motion controllers
Oh... no, it has a lot more features whatever that is. I will try to get that. Thanks ๐
Seems to get me much closer to VRTK, I was looking for something like this ๐
Hi Sam
Yup, I got flex stuff in my VR project now ๐ Performance seems good. Much better than the CPU dependent Obi stuff.
Ahh, I had forgotten about single and multi rendering for VR... now I got some shader problems where the shader only renders for one eye. Anyone know how to change VR render settings?

I havent had so much luck with basically any form of postings. I tried that in the past and ive talked to people looking for work. I get a lot of the same results
Seems like there are a lot of people out there looking to get paid for essentially figuring it out as they go.
grim ore
well why not if you can ๐ doesn't hurt to ask and most people are not generalists so getting a specialist that does exactly what you want is normally in high demand or costs real money
next lance
sucks... seems the VR Expansion needs to be built into the engine as well
Sure looks promising though, several times of movement modes, being able to climb, moving platforms, a driveable car and more
oh yes, and buttons, drawers, doors and such
Hmmm, maybe I just needed to run Visual Studio as admin? That would be nice, then I can build the engine again with VR Expansion included

I'm a mech engineer by trade and have a lot of experience in UE4 through the doomed UT project... And I see Studio as an interesting intersection between the two

Unreal Studio? Is it part of Unreal Engine or is it something else?

Previously called Datasmith. it's a plugin I think, for the editor that allows you to import 3D CAD geometry file types

scarlet jackal
So, kind of a strange question, but google won't answer it for me seemingly.
How can I learn to make more "large-scale" game systems, such that might be used in a proper triple a title.
I have a basic understanding of how to make simple systems that "work" but wouldn't be good for a larger scale. Is there some sort of well made example finished game project that I could study and learn how it handles systems in a larger game?
balmy cypress
the question is much to broad. Different games need widely different solutions, this is why not all games use the same code base.
gritty matrix
Itโs very specific to the thing your making. An inventory system for example can be very small or massive depending on the needs of the game.
balmy cypress
What you asked would be like going to a chef and say "what ingredients are in the best foods." A dessert will need different ingredients than a roast and so on.
scarlet jackal
Yeah, I know it was generic.
But any examples of "the right way" to make stuff would be helpful.
Instead of simple indie solutions that work, but aren't very good solutions.
plush yew
@scarlet jackal as far as finished or well made existing stuff, you can look at marketplace content.
in addition, there are a lot of tutorials for you to look at on academy.unrealengine.com
scarlet jackal
That's a good point, but I'd rather not spend a bunch to get marketplace plugins to study them.
plush yew
yeah, i can see that.
scarlet jackal
But, the unrealengine academy looked cool, I kind of forgot it came out, I'll probably check that out.
plush yew
it's a give and take with the marketplace. i went wild and bought a ton of stuff on there on their summer sale. you might consider marking your favorite assets and checking on the prices every now and then as well.
yeah! give it a look. good stuff ๐
scarlet jackal
Ah, good idea, I didn't know they had sales.
plush yew
yeah
balmy cypress
Also, you can do your own benchmarks or look up articles that perform benchmarks of specific types of programming. Its a case by case basis so when you actually get to a point where you need to make a decision ask the question specific to that decision you are looking to make.
scarlet jackal
Yeah, I don't really have a specific "thing" I want to make in mind right now, I'm just trying to learn more in general.
balmy cypress
Well then all we can provide is an answer equal to the question, which is general and wont be very helpful.
scarlet jackal
Yeah.

Hey guys, from a programming perspective, what would ya's think would be the best way to sort-of fake a unix-like file system in Unreal Engine?
like, I don't want a full-on ramdisk or anything. Don't want to load in an ACTUAL filesystem
but I want to give the player the ability to store and read files in their virtual Peacegate OS machine in a way that FEELS like it's a unix filesystem
i.e programs are in /bin, documents in /home/user/Documents

Hello everyone, could you help me with bug in editor? I didn't find better section for my question.
I've got a local bug, Functional keys like F9, F10, F11, F12 doesn't work in editor, I can't toggle breakpoints, can't toggle fullscreen mode or anything else that binded to f9,f10,f11,f12, but keyboard is fine, I checked it in another apps.
It's a really annoying bug and I can't find any solution on google or anywhere else on UE4 website.
Do you guys know anything about that bug?
frank escarp
the fun part is that assembly means shit @cloud cobalt
modern CPUs execute it however the fuck they want
whole quarry
@sullen nacelle try reinstalling the engine
cloud cobalt
Yep
frank escarp
thats why you cant outsmart a compiler
at assembly
becouse the compiler writers know more or less whats going to happen with that assembly, but you dont
so while you are there super happy "look ive made it run on less instructions" or some shit, it then goes slower XD
cloud cobalt
Yeah, I agree, assembly is just a stupid idea these days unless you're really really good at it
frank escarp
its useful to know that the compiler is optimizing stuff properly
cloud cobalt
(Or you need it - embedded software that needs interrupt handling etc)
frank escarp
yeah but you only have an .asm that instantly sends the interrupt into a C callback
and thats it
sullen nacelle
@whole quarry I have two engine versions and that bug is reproducing on both of them
cloud cobalt
My last stab at assembly was to keep a LED powered during a boot sequence for an embedded operating system
silver crown
Nice
frank escarp
i wrote a loader
sullen nacelle
@whole quarry shouild I try to reinstall both engines? xD
frank escarp
for an ARM board
it did exactly that
ASM to do initial setup, and then it just called into C
it was the most tilting shit ive ever done
cloud cobalt
Yeah, was on ARM too. Even the loader was in C though, with only really minimal assembly in the really early phases
frank escarp
becouse some times some state would persist from reboot to reboot
i literally had a test run fine in class
i call the teacher (for review)
and when the teacher runs it it fails
literally no changes beetween the "runs fine" and the "doesnt run" in code or anything
cloud cobalt
That's often tied to timings of the initialization. We had a working code that was used for literal years - local comms bus between CPU boards
We then spend 6 months hunting for a crippling bug that would disable comms across the system
The driver code to initialize the bus just lacked a few millisecond wait, and the chip performed differently vs temperature, clock etc
silver crown
Damn
cloud cobalt
Should've read the processor's 1200 pages manual with more attention ๐
cloud cobalt
Depends on how large your existing code is

These are not real errors
You need the Visual Assist extension for the red underlining to be correct in UE4
Also the "error window" in VS is wrong - use the output log window to track errors down

You asked a question too broad to really answer. The differences between the two engines are vast.
fierce tulip
I wasnt sarcastic, in the end both are engines, and only your personal opinion/preference and experience matters
grim sinew
That's why people aren't directly answering, it would require nothing short of an essay to explain the differences
fierce tulip
grim sinew
Blueprint makes scripting really easy for beginners, and all the tools you need are built in. You don't need to go marketplace hunting to find stuff to even begin working.
worthy cargo
thank you @fierce tulip i'll check those
grim sinew
Like how Unity, their post process is on the market place, even the official ones. Not the case with Unreal, it's just a native part of the engine everyone can assume you can use.
grim ore
I would say go with Unity if you want your game to be smaller since it has less letters than Unreal Engine 4. All those places in the code they use Unreal Engine compared to Unity must really bloat up the final game I would think.

Hello! I have a question. How would one go for colored speculars? I've searched for a bit and could not find anything on how you would do it. And yes i know UE4 is PBR but there's gotta be something atleast in a hacky way (?)
grim sinew
@hard surge You use metalness
teal glen
also my ssd is almost full
grim sinew
And that's your only choice
cursive dirge
you can ref packages (which can be content, plugins etc) just by telling unity you want to use that part, nothing needs to be copied to your project and you can swap package versions from easy menu entry
cursive dirge
Unreals plugins are way more tedious
dark depot
well no matter what you need more space
hard surge
i did but it only reflects around and specular still stays black and white
grim sinew
@hard surge metalness will color the specular to the diffuse color. And you can't do it with a different color in metal/rough PBR, just how it is.
teal glen

dark depot

like if you are adding android export that adds 5gb

on my use, it's close to 100GB as I build it myself and have all kinds of things on my ue4 build

@hard surge https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Engine/Rendering/Materials/PhysicallyBased https://docs.unrealengine.com/portals/0/images/Engine/Rendering/Materials/PhysicallyBased/metallic.png Here you can see an example, see how it gets more yellow?
dark depot
you can get it down to like 14gb
cursive dirge
but I guess the launcher version is like 15-20gb nowadays
manic pawn
unreal can use anywhere from 10 to 100GB once it starts filling intermediate folders
dark depot

cursive dirge
oh right, if you build yourself and do non-unity build, I have no idea how much it will take
I'm currently in process but I need to fix some compilation errors so it's not fully done yet
hard surge
yeah, i can see that but specular still stays black and white
can't you fake it by adding into base?
grim sinew
What you see in that image is what you get.
cursive dirge
and I expect it to go like into 150 when it's done ๐
grim sinew
metal/rough PBR has that limitation, you cannot artistically choose your specular color no matter what you do
You're limited to what the engine chooses for you when you tell it to be metallic

I hear 3d coat is good, iv been using photoshop
its good good 3d support now
For 3d painting
fierce tulip
true, though I'd personally probably use 3dcoat for such things as well, that said we dont rely on normal maps or roughness maps since its a mobile game and in this case dont need em
though one could draw roughness and normal maps in 3dcoat as well
and its fairly affordable

I have a very weird glitch right now
Whenever I start my game in game mode (from editor though, with -game command line), first the window is correct
But then it reverts to being a square window larger than my screen (??)
And whenever I enter any console command, it reverts back to this square window
And if I resize the window, it keep snapping to a square
sonic pagoda
if you run an execute console command
from your game instance
to your desired resolution
would that fix it?
i know that in editor as well i have that funky issue with the window being bigger than my screen
but on a .exe or .app it actually works at the correct resolution
south ridge
If I run any console command, it'll reset back to a square window
So even if I change resolution once, it'll just revert back whenever I call some debug stuff again ๐
It doesn't make any sense why those things would be in any way connected
sonic pagoda
so you mean like as in a standalone game, and not PIE
south ridge
Yeah, standalone game, but ran under the editors executable
But without the editor itself
sonic pagoda
yea i dont do that enough on this current project im working on as it doesnt require it.... that is an interesting problem though
i mean, if you compile the game though
south ridge
It'll probably be fine
sonic pagoda
does it still do it? or is it only as standalone from editor
south ridge
I haven't tried, but I'm sure it won't come up in standalone
As it seems to be tied into running console commands somehow
I'm now stepping through console manager to see at which point it resets that stuff ๐

Hey does anyone know if dynamically updating colliders to procedural meshes is bugged? I'm having issues with it. I saw several posts online that it was around 2 years ago which led people to use plugins like this one -> https://github.com/Koderz/RuntimeMeshComponent But im not sure if this has ever been fixed.
south ridge
@sonic pagoda It's pretty retarded. Every time you call any console command, UE4 re-checks everything related to scalability
And as part of that, it re-applies all settings for scalability, resolution etc
Every time anything goes into console (?why). And apparently system resolution is set to 2048x2048 for whatever reason
It's loaded correctly, but somewhere between reading configs & starting the game it resets the resolution
Oh.
Oh...
It's the stereo panorama plugin
sonic pagoda
my issue is a different one, whenever i play in editor in a new window it will always make the window bigger than my current resolution, so i have to somehow alt tab to anotehr program, focus out of that window and click the window twice or the resize button and then it resizes to the correct resolution.. it doesnt matter that i have set to 1920 x 1080 on the launch settings it will always be like 1960 x 1080... but thats just in PIE new window, on a standalone game it works fine, and with my graphics menu i dont have those issues you are saying... but im not running console commands in the menu, im running like the actual blueprint commands for changing those resolution settings
south ridge
For some inane reason it requests a resolution change to 2048x2048, makes zero sense whatsoever

I got 8192 n3 voxels working! And... I ate through 32gb ram and 192 SSD pagefiles memory. I don't think I can get this into the Unreal engine...
grim ore
Unity is the best because it's shorter so it uses less memory however if you just shorten Unreal Engine 4 to UE4 then it becomes the best because it uses less memory. So you need to decide if you want to go to the trouble of renaming Unreal Engine 4 to UE4 in the source code to make it run better than Unity or not.
high stone
Yeah I was looking over Unity. My goal is getting this running in Unreal.
grim ore
well that was mainly aimed at the person asking which was better between Unity, GameMaker or UE4.
high stone
Oh lol. You were also correct about Unity being able to handle voxel imports.
Two birds, one stone.
plush yew
Whenever I run UE4 games online, I keep experiencing some random stuttering/freezes. And yet my CPU isn't using more than 24% and my AMD R9 290x can run that game at Epic settings at 60+ fps.
Would you know what causes the stuttering? This happens even on graybox maps in UT. So, I'm assuming it's somehow related to the servers and network code.
I heard in multiplayer the UE4 physics could get heavy with all players moving, shooting, etc. Would that be it?
I'd love to make multiplayer games with UE4, but so far all the games I've played that ran on UE4 were very unstable.
stark shard
Thats the only reason I am scared to make games on UE4
Because I am scared that it would lag for me
plush yew
I know ''Unreal Engine'' is supposed to be the perfect fit for First Person Shooter games but right now... it looks like it would be the worst choice.
Maybe it's just my rig that is too old, I don't know.
stark shard
xD
If it lags im going straight to GameMaker
Or UNITY
Some people seem to like Unity more
plush yew
It's not ''lag'', it's more like... you change the graphics settings and there isn't much difference between lowest and epic settings. And the frame rate isn't stable unless you leave it to 0 (uncapped) and all other options seem to be unstable (vsync, smooth frame rate, cap frame rate to X number, etc.). There is a noticeable mouse input latency issue with UE4 and r.onethreadframelag 0 isn't a good alternative. Skip GPU buffer isn't a good alternative either. And the anti-aliasing solutions are horrible (FXAA vs Temporal).
UE4 is in a very weird place.
plush yew
I have hope that to run UE4 games on Vulkan would fix all of this. But what if I make my game and it doesn't change a thing. I would be so pissed XD.
stark shard
lol
plush yew
The best alternative I've seen so far was the Forward Shading option in UT Pre-Alpha.
stark shard
I would imagine you would be
plush yew
Based on my experience with LawBreakers, UT Pre-Alpha and Fortnite... it seems that UE4 runs amazing when we play a Graybox map, but everything breaks apart on fully meshed maps.
In fact, on UT Pre-Alpha players mainly only play Graybox maps.
stark shard
And I dont like the way the scripts work on UE4
plush yew
And TDM was amazing in LawBreakers because the graybox map allowed us to go from like 80-110 fps to 220+ fps.
https://youtu.be/6AbrEG_cpfc
@stark shard yeah they are a bit weird.
stark shard
i did not know you can go over 60 fps
plush yew
UT Pre-Alpha is capped at 150 fps online, LawBreakers wasn't capped.
That's on PC.
This isn't obvious, but UE4 games only feel good if you can get 200+ fps.
I personally felt that under 120 fps, the mouse felt very very floaty and unresponsive.
plush yew
feelsbadman
stark shard
are Ue4 games different
So should I do unity or Ue4
do you think I would be able to run much stuff?
plush yew
I find UE4 games to be very demanding for what they look like.
if you run let's say LawBreakers at the lowest settings, the game runs really poorly for what you get graphically.
west quarry
guys, I have Unreal idea how do I render unreal editor in unreal game ?
plush yew
I said before, I was running LawBreakers or UT Pre-Alpha at the lowest settings at like... 60-110fps (DirectX11) while I can run DOOM 2016 (Vulkan) at Max Settings at 150+ fps + max anti-aliasing and fully responsive mouse input.

@stark shard I know what you mean but for small stuff it is actually really cool
stark shard
true
plush yew
Unity is cool if you are a C# programmer and if you like quick prototyping.
In any other cases, I do believe that UE4 is a better option.
west quarry
@plush yew if you code in C++ switching to C# is not that complicated
plush yew
True. But the other way around is more complicated.
I'm a C# / Java dev and to get into UE4 C++ is quite something.
west quarry
personally I have issue just switching projects with diff languages like it takes me almost a day
plush yew
When I hear C++ guys saying UE4 C++ is a challenge to learn, doesn't seem to be so easy haha
west quarry
otherwise it all same and I am not an expert dev heh

But Im also a beginner game programmer so, maybe that's why UE4 C++ feels so overwhelming right now

UE4 is heavy, you might prefer Unity just because it's lightweight and you will actually be able to code and test stuff right away
plush yew
Both engines are pretty decent at this point in time.
plush yew
I sure would recommend UE4 over Unity, but in your case... you better pick the one you can run

stark shard
what is this conversation ._.
plush yew
I had this classic dilemma of having to choose Unity VS UE4 for my game, so I had to do a lot of research to know what Untiy veterans who eventually switched to UE4 thought about Unity and basically...
The differences between UE4 and Unity is that UE4 is a full game engine ready for production.
Unity is like the foundation of a game engine, but you need to use the Unity Store or create tools yourself to create the kind of game you want. Tools that are already in UE4.
west quarry
well in unreal you will need to do insane amount of tweaking
plush yew
What I'm saying is that if you pickup Unity, along the way... you might have to download plugins or purchase some from the Unity store.
Shader plugin, etc.
Terrain editor
etc
stark shard
So its a need?
west quarry
also I have suspicion that unity frame rate is higher then unreal
plush yew
Depends on what you are making
stark shard
it is
plush yew
Based on the feedback I've read it was more about...
Unity has C# which is great to prototype stuff quickly, but takes more work later on to optimize the game.
Unreal Engine 4 has blueprint which is great for prototyping, not so great for performance. But the C++ is slower to use than C#, but better to optimize games later on.
quartz grotto
for me it was more about the core engine API and design. UE4 just seems to click more for me. it feels a bit more familiar to what I used to know back in the day with just raw C++ and DirectX in school.
plush yew
Note:
Still, many UE4 users are able to make full games entirely or mostly in Blueprint.
quartz grotto
whereas Unity just feels like pin the tail on the donkey - keep adding components to your game objects until it turns into something. lol
plush yew
hahahaa
Yeah, I get that feeling too. I thought it was weird that we could just create prefabs in the scene itself. And not in a separate Editor/System.
stark shard
trash computer
quartz grotto
yea, well new unity build revamps the prefab process a bit and does add a first class prefab editor. it's nice, but not official release yet.
plush yew
I open UE4 and it does look like the greatest Game Engine ever made so far (publicly available).
It's just sad it's so heavy
With long moments of computation.
(hours)
I feel like we are back in the 90s when my dad was trying to render videos on amiga
quartz grotto
meh, only major knocks for me so far have been the relatively poor dev experience (when put next to unity) and I guess the poor visual studio intellisense support
but if you just adopt a visual studio driven dev workflow it solves a lot of the weird hot reloading crashes and stuff
quartz grotto
yea i bought VAX - it's decent but proper intellisense would be cool
plush yew
Something was bugging me with how UE4 games looked and I realized I had to turn off anti-aliasing and set showflag.CameraImperfections 0 to get something that doesn't look like vaseline
@stark shard What is your PC?
If you are serious about making games, I'd say it may be worth getting a new PC and then focusing on UE4.
Brutal truth, I've never heard about an Unreal Engine 4 dev who switched to Unity and never came back to UE4.
Usually, you hear Unity devs used Unity for 3 years, switched to UE4... found paradise.
plush yew
yeah, just turn ON temporal AA
Unless you stop moving the camera for 2 seconds, it looks like s***
I move my camera 80% of the time
strange sapphire
Yeah
Do you have a comparison with anti-aliasing and without?
I'm too lazy to start unreal rn
plush yew
Basically all the post proceses, temporal AA, chromatic aberration and everything new in UE4, to me, makes the visual look more like vaseline instead of giving you that cool sharp clean look.
It's mainly because of Deferred Rendering that doesn't seem to offer MSAA
basically, UE4 would like amazing if you could play in 4K or higher
remote roost
are epics login servers down or something
plush yew
But if you can't UE4 games looks worst than any older game with proper AA solutions
strange sapphire
Don't go higher than 4k, it's a waste of computing power
plush yew
Yeah
remote roost
i get this error when resetting password and can't login

like UE4 got you covered, it has pretty much all the tools you could think of that you would need to develop games. Not the case with Unity
