thats just foxhole
its been a huge part of my memories since i started playing too
its a unique experience that has taught me a lot about experiences i didnt get as a kid, e.g. team sports

It's taught me a bit of leadership even when I never considered myself a leader

well, i hate the shooting because i have high ping, and every front already has more medics than regular people, and logi is pain, so i just stick to building because i like the atmosphere

like if I ship an ironship of shirts to a seaport I can keep that hex going for like 6 hrs
when I first played the game I was like "who in their right minds would ever do logi"
I reckon that the time I spend doing logi would not have been spent productively regardless

that's interesting

building feels like a game of solitaire to me, but logi feels like a root canal

You should check out Redbean in her site
long raft
yea i noticed that, seems very useful
long raft
no thanks gonna steer clear of any more lisp lol
neat fossil
ok turns out the LookAt script isn't that expensive
it's just the sheer number objects itself that is killing performance
all methods i know like setting it static and optimising the material didn't work, so i'm looking for more ideas now
long raft
i think billboards require a matrix inverse
otherwise not mathematically intense
transparency can be costly if youre rendering that
in the old days we used to use a z threshold to pixels on billboards to avoid alpha blend calculations
if your shader has to read the frame buffer to write to it, i imagine that could be expensive
but generally you can load up shit tons of billboards without performance problems
neat fossil
ok with just the 4096 hexes it works fine with no performance decline what so ever
long raft
hexes as in what 6 triangles?
neat fossil
but once i add the trees which is about 639 extra objects everything just falls apart so i think it's a mesh issue
neat fossil
hexes as in what 6 triangles?
only 4 i think
long raft
you want to render things in batches for performance
unreal cloak
if they are all calling lookatt
long raft
or like ... make your own point sprites by using a mesh shader lol
take a single point, generate the billboard for it
unreal cloak
and dont interact with other objects, try using DOTS
long raft
im not super up to date on unity tho
neat fossil
i commented out lookat
still the same exact performance
here's a comparison between the 2
unreal cloak
DOTS still may help
neat fossil
i will look into it
long raft
are you calling the tree rendering like thousands of times?
ideally you could render them all in a single batch
neat fossil
i already set them static and enabled dynamic batching
long raft
oh im not familiar with that, so theyre being grouped together?
long raft
the whole reason we used billboards was because of their cheap cost
but it could be the alpha blending if its using it
neat fossil
they are the same texture, they are not 3D models no matter how close you are to them
neat fossil
but it could be the alpha blending if its using it
actually that sounds plausible let me try it
long raft
i.e. its a cutout shape, with a texture that has 0 and 1 alpha values. you wouldnt want to actually read the frame buffer (cache misses) and then do alpha blending math on it
if its 1 you draw it, if its 0 you dont
so the shader can handle that i would think
does give an ugly border to the trees tho
i cannot imagine a modern card cant render thousands of polygons with ease tho even with alpha blending, thats shocking
neat fossil
ok i messed around with the compression and anti alising settings for the texture and it seems to be way better now
neat fossil
i cannot imagine a modern card cant render thousands of polygons with ease tho e...
yeah i also got a 3070 of all things
unreal cloak
bro how
long raft
batches 5219
that seems like a lot of batches.
is that like ... a total count over time?
neat fossil
no in render
i do have a lot of hexagons though
i will probably replace the sea hexagons with a single object
since they are kinda useless
long raft
there should be 2 batches for that lol
neat fossil
now that you mention it
long raft
if you remove the trees do the batch numbers come down?
long raft
interesting!
neat fossil
yeah the hexagons themselves are the problem
long raft
so its not the trees then right?
neat fossil
yeah
long raft
when i was a kid i looked at this example for cumulative days
it was the first vertex shader i ever saw, it had animation in a vertex shader (it transitioned between 2 or 3 states at a vertex level)
neat fossil
damn
long raft
back when the directx software renderer was still a reasonable speed
you could run vertex shaders in the software emulator, but not pixel shaders
neat fossil
as in like make your own models and stuff?
long raft
one of the examples was this tesselated mesh, and it used to boggle my mind how they rendered 100,000 polygons at real time
like vertex shaders change the points in the mesh, and pixel shaders render the mesh to ...pixels
neat fossil
the metro games teached me to fear tessellation
long raft
i learned game programming on directx 7, the one before shaders were introduced, it was fixed pipeline
thinking about stuff like batch size brings me back to all that stuff
maybe there are still fundamentals that dont change
neat fossil
i see
from the little i know
unity can only batch together objects with the same material
and dynamically batch static objects
long raft
the material is the shader, right?
neat fossil
it's basically an abstraction of a instance of a shader
long raft
its both the vertex and pixel shaders i assume
neat fossil
so you can have 5 materials with different textures using the same shader
long raft
i wrote a few in unity but it was 10 years ago i cant remember
neat fossil
yeah
i was gonna say i would ignore the hexes for now to work in the actual gameplay, but i just realised i don't know what i want this to be about

Since the activity log can be accessed by everyone on anyone I assume its public information. Would the Devs be so kind to make an public API for the activity log? I would make a rank website with that API. So we can see who built the most, highest damage, materials submitted etc. and at the end of the war give out a Top 3 List of Builders, Scroopers etc.
unreal cloak
this will probably burn your eyes @long raft
unreal cloak
no it was just for fun
I initially wanted to make a MMORTS like Foxhole but RTS when I was a kid
I quickly realized that that would not work
maybe if you only let each individual have a few dozen units
my next idea was that you would have a map with finite resources that would run out very quickly so you had to be aggressive and capture territory, as well as be strategic about your unit placement and also make dynamic alliances. So basically a Battle Royale RTS
unreal cloak
quite readable
You must be better at inheriting code than me I dont even remember how it works

Oh man I tried understanding my old school projects in C++
I could not

unreal cloak
I have heard that smart pointers take a lot of the pain out ofpointers
long raft
ive heard theyre losing popularity and nobody wants garbage collection in c++

garbage collection in the c++ way seems pointless
i see no advantage if its not defragmenting the memory block and running garbage collection on a separate thread
unreal cloak
are smart pointers garbage collected?
long raft
c
neat fossil
any reasoning?
long raft
it's simpler, its more useful to know, there are more resources for learning
i can not overstate just how big of a language c++ is
and everything you learn in C can potentially be used in c++, but not vice versa
unreal cloak
do you think i should i start with c++ or c first
It depends your use case

not exactly code talk per say
but is there any good way to make interior maps in unity?
i have always struggled with meshbuilder because it always turns into a mess
and now i started working with pre made modular rooms in blender but they already proved to also be a hassle to work with
long raft
that might be the nature of indoor
it makes me think ... variable bit rate, compared to outdoor constant bit rate
terrain is just very uniform
neat fossil
i see
i was doing it as actual game objects
and i just gets visual glitches everywhere and it's a pain to work with
but honestly i think i might just take the L
long raft
visual glitches?
neat fossil
it's kinda hard to show in an image let me make a gif
long raft
in the old days interiors are segmented using binary space schemes, whereas terrain is usually tesselation or geo mip mapping
i think its almost entirely geo mip mapping now, if its not a voxel engine
but if you just have ... backwards normals on your triangles for your model, you just fix those
neat fossil
like they are not cubes
each surface is it's own plane with the texture projected on both sides if it makes sense
but yeah i think the main problem is me fucking up in blender and not this approach on itself
long raft
mm modeling is hard
the only modeling i ever used to do for game stuff was really low polygons, to make it more manageable to fix that kind of stuff
neat fossil
i'm uploading the gif
it gets this jiggering lines where the modules intersect and in the roof
god screentogif really fucked up the colors
neat fossil
how?
long raft
i think they are simply not touching
neat fossil
is that in blender or in unity?
long raft
blender i assume
neat fossil
each surface is it's own object
long raft
like combine the vertices that are touching, it will find really near vertices and then set them to be the same
oh wait the flicker thats not ... seams
i think the flicked is you have two polygons in the same place
like a copy of the mesh, or a copy of the triangles
neat fossil
true that might be it
long raft
they are doing what is called z-fighting, where they are the same depth and swap back and forth due to rounding errors
neat fossil
i will try to remake the modules in blender as actual cubes and see if that helps
long raft
i assume cubes are two sided
long raft
or turn on backface culling, perhaps they are triangles facing the other way and should not be drawn (when you see the cube from inside) but are being drawn anyway
neat fossil
is that in the material?
long raft
im not sure, not ... super familiar with unity anymore
just theorizing things that could cause that effect
neat fossil
something, something is not right...
long raft
well thats ... definitely alpha stuff
is it supposed to be transparent? seems like a definite material issue
neat fossil
it is not supposed to be this way
but yeah thanks, i think i figured it out, about the hassle bit
is making modular stuff in blender and then building the level in unity the best option
or do you know another method?
long raft
i do not
neat fossil
i see
long raft
i know a lot of modelers work in maya or 3ds

neat fossil
Oooh!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-fighting
ooh thanks
long raft
it could only happen if you have 2 polygons overlapping that are facing the same direction, or 2 polygons overlapping and backface culling is not being used
neat fossil
Oooh!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-fighting
turns out my issue wasn't that
well it was kinda
instead of the geometry going over each other
the lightmap was
only the roof was actual geometry
i'm now having issues with light baking
all the materials have the same settings besides the texture
and all the models have the same import settings
and all are static
so i still have no clue what's going on
i suspect it has something to do with my lighting settings
maybe they can't fit in tightmap or something but changing the size didn't do much besides improve the resolution in the already ligthed objects
so i honestly have no clue
nvm i just needed to restart my computer apparently bruh
long raft
are your normals facing the right way on the mesh?
or perhaps the light map texture is ... too small? hmm
neat fossil
it was none of that
Unity just didn't feel like working until i restarted my computer
kind glacier
i'm now having issues with light baking
I once built something that looked good, and then I tried to do the lighting and it suddenly went from looking good to looking terrible.

I'm also very new to large codebases so maybe I haven't been around enough to experience the pitfalls of a non-OOP design. But OOP just seems so complicated to me
unreal cloak
so many builders and factories and nothing seems to actually implement any logic
long raft
oh well ... you dont have to make things that way
thats just people optimizing what they can
unreal cloak
I guess I just haven't worked with it enough to get in the groove
long raft
OOP reduces your code base's size generally, you have deeper levels of abstraction, but less code, so theres a tradeoff
unreal cloak
I'm more used to just having functions
long raft
well its still a function. only now it has a this object
in its guts its just shortcuts you end up building yourself with structures
jovial lake
i like OOP but sometimes people overcomplicate it by making everything a class

seems fine to me
i was bothered by a lot of the techniques at first, like accessors, but ive come to rely on all that stuff so heavily now

barren wedge
is it possible to win against the AI though?
uhh no, not really, at least as far as i know
I havent checked any guides tho
And i was never a tic tac toe champion
Basically there's 2 strategies (if we dont count those where the oponent straight up lets you)
Either you go for middle part first and then corner or the other way around
And if the enemy takes a side tile, u win
And AI never picks side tiles first
Well now that i think about it, its dumb to even call them strategies

have you ever heard of Minimax?
barren wedge
uh no?
unreal cloak
are you famiiliar with trees? Basically you repesent your game state as nodes in the tree, with the branches being each move taken
at a terminal game state you assign a score +1 p1 wins, 0 tie, -1 p2 wins
barren wedge
Oh i've seen that on geopolitics channel talking about war in ukraine heh
unreal cloak
you traverse the tree from the bottom and try to select the branch that maximizes your hypothetical score while minimizng the enemy player
the size of game states blows up fast but for tic tac toe there are less than 9! game states so it's actually doable
for something like Chess you would sample moves randomly and terminate after a certain depth 2/ some sort of heuristic to determine the players score from a given board state
but for tic tac toe it's the perfect game for a minimax implementation
unreal cloak
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach is a really good foundational textbook for classical AI algorithms
There is a github page that has visualizations and code for the whole book in Javascript http://aimacode.github.io/aima-javascript/5-Adversarial-Search/

IIRC I drew on 3 pieces of A3 in order to eventuakly understand MinMaxing.
It's basically you simulate next states based on expecatations; e.g. for the opponent to try and win; and thus you take the move that down the line has the most value; losing has negative value thus you avoid losing moves.
The reason Chess cannot be perfectly won is you cannot simulat all possible future states due to it's complexity.
However Tic-Tac-Toe only has 9 states, so it easier.
median vale
Min max just assigned an arbitrary value to any action and/or calculate the value of each possible action and choose what is considered the best. In concept it's pretty easy, implementing it correctly take some more time and being good at it is quite hard
Fun thing is i'm pretty sure stockfish is an open source AI that use min maxing in chess and it's probably one of the best implementation you can access the full code
Min maxing require knowledge of the game/task you are trying to optimised
one of the way you optimized those type of program is by removing as much of the branch of the tree without the computer needing to calculate all that
unreal cloak
Yep idk if you can see that link I sent but it covers alpha-beta pruning + iterative deepening

I asked around in sigil if people would actually use it and I dont think it would be super useful though

yeah , youve still got to go in game though
unreal cloak
yeah it would just be a way to connect people who want something with people who need something
pure sierra
yeah it could work

only useful for expensive items really but I was thinking maybe you could request bunker bases to be built or something
just a way for people to coordinate somewhat
pure sierra
just have to contend with intel leak limitations though
unreal cloak
yeah I was thinking they could verify through discord
but then that kind of defeats the purpose
since you would already most likely be in a clan or in sigil

that right

but I do like the idea of creating a way of expanding the economy of Foxhole or adding to the meta
I just cant think of any good projects

thats what i was thinking when registered fhbets

the only problem is that it would 100% lead to alting

itd be cool to have a little mobile miner, but ud have to have game clients to remote which is getting too crazy and limited
unreal cloak
I was thinking maybe you could datamine
just query the war API and store all the states in a Cassandra DB
pure sierra
but how does that create a side game ? (what i want)
unreal cloak
then try to come up with a heuristic that can determine the best move from the current map state
well, I dont think this would actually work
pure sierra
issues might be that the map items change
unreal cloak
but if you fed it enough data you could start figuring out which moves are optimal to cripple a hex
although I dont think it would have enough data to figure it out
since it's dependent on so many factors
I really wish the devs would allow us to query player stats
pure sierra
that being said there are probable very common paths that have to go in order
unreal cloak
Maybe instead of actual money bets you could just have the website be a poll
and let people vote on who they think is gonna win
pure sierra
well i could use points instead of money
but i thought itd be good if there was a small 0.1% txn fee or something i could collect to run it 🧑🔧

do you have any cloud costs for Foxhole stats?

do you use AWS or is it all custom?
pure sierra
i dont use aws for foxhole stuff
in work currently i only use aws s3 for backups, and smtp for a mailer
unreal cloak
I'm getting ramped up on it at work but I've only really used S3 and Lambda
pure sierra
it definitely has its appeal, just not sure if it would cost more or less for my needs, but great for portability
with foxholebets, i would build it first with a points system for testing and proof of concept, and if works switch it to limited money.
unreal cloak
AWS Lambda gives like 400,000GB-seconds of compute power for free
so it would most likely be free if you went serverless
and then I'm sure the S3 storage wouldn't exceed the storage size

not sure if that would be everything i need

pure sierra
just refing the topic

ive conceived the whole idea, the software uses the warapi to get the victory
the coins are pegged against each other, a colonial coin, a warden coin
even if the coins were mined and given away free, it would indicate the betting lines on the victory
if there was a network running (thats why i suppose they need to have some value), people could trade warden coins for colonial and vice versa
i guess they all become a pump and dump dont they

its just a meme coin. maybe better to just use normal crypto for bets

its literally the only possible outcome of it
nobodys gonna dedicate computing power to an actual meme coin, it has to have some value -> fiat for anyone to bother

since by default the raycast will return a point on the edge of the zombie which can cause grazes and stuff
I also cant remember if I actually used projectiles or hitscan
I think projectiles
unreal cloak
also the fact that if you aim at a wall with transparency it's ambiguous if you want to aim at the wall or the floor behind the wall
or if a zombie is behind a wall you have to have fallthrough cases where you do one raycast to check for zombies and then another to check for terrain/obstacles
just lots of really subtle things
also weapon balance

Do you at least know what the vulnerability is?

feels more like bug ransom than bounty...
im wondering when has XSS ever been a server side security issue
lunar cobalt
So this website literally only exists to contact the website owner, not tell them the bug, and send them to the reporter to get more information
I can see no possible ways this could be abused
Looking at the guy who made that report all of his past vulnerabilities are about Reflected XSS
And he just spams them
He made 223 reports of XSS scripting on 10/05/2022
long raft
xss, the least dangerous of security vulnerabilities...
but without details it sounds scary
pure sierra
yeah im suss,
like u said, i looked at the users history too and its seems suss
and why shard2 ?
earnest apex
Reflected xss, which is what this supposedly is, relies on people being idiots and opening an untrusted link. In this case I don’t even think that’ll do anything. Stored xss is dangerous, but that’s not possible here.
pure sierra
the bug gets auto released after about 90 days if not resolved
looking at the details of his past submissions that have been released/public, look like total shit
https://www.richlandcountyoh.gov/"></title></script><svg/onload=alert(/openbugbounty/)>
this is crap right ?
earnest apex
It’s not that he made a popup, it’s that instead of that popup he could do anything else as well using java script.
pure sierra
how is js getting passed from the url to the dom ? surely this is a browser exploit instead ?
earnest apex
That’s the main point of reflective XSS, using it someone can execute Java code client side if a bad link is submitted.
pure sierra
looking at the dom, it seems the code is being embedded into the code, so its a web server exploit ?
earnest apex
I don’t know much about this, as I’m taking a class on web security currently, but essentially it allows a malicious link to remotely execute Java code on a client, such as sending session info to a third party or any other type of Java based exploits. It’s not too dangerous as it requires a user to submit a bad link, but it’s something that can cause havoc if exploited.
With that, instead of the script part of that just being an alert, it can be any type of basic Java payload.
pure sierra
i really am suprised a upto date version of apache would let this happen
earnest apex
I imagine the best way to fix it is to just make it so any character such as < or > in the url causes the page to go to a something happened error, Please try again.
earnest apex
That’s probably the only place where it was able to be inserted from what I can tell. I don’t know web development at all so I can’t tell you why it’s there, but it appears to be exploiting the href code there to insert a line of script after the url is finished.
pure sierra
maybe its because the submitted browser url is getting embedded into the base url
earnest apex
That’s probably it, and since the submitted browser url isn’t being sanitized, but instead is just being submitted without any checks, it’s able to do it.
pure sierra
yep
that is it
https://www.richlandcountyoh.gov/?test=hello
ah because they are share links
they embed the current url path so the share button shares that url
i made one
https://www.richlandcountyoh.gov/<script>alert('hello')</script>
earnest apex
And because that share link isn’t being checked at all, anything can be put into it, including html statements.
pure sierra
pretty simple 🙂
earnest apex
And pretty easy to miss too, which is one of the reasons why it’s such an issue. Anything from the user should be handled as if it were trying to cause issues.
pure sierra
I know to take precautions with user submitted values when working with db, but hadnt considered reusing that url anywhere
earnest apex
One of the things from my class that I remember is to always assume incoming data is malicious, even stuff like log files.
pure sierra
whats silly, is on my site, the one reported, its being embedded by bloody google charts
https://foxholestats.com/?test=hello
earnest apex
Based
The guy probably just has a script running to check for something like this where a link is embedded, and then reports it if found.
pure sierra
yeah a crawler
earnest apex
Hell one of the programs we use for class has a pro version that can do that, just searching for any exploits that it can see
pure sierra
i tried the script tags in the url that worked on that richlandcountyoh website, but doesnt work on mine as its getting embedded in the middle of svg code (google charts) thats why his examples where using the svg onload tag instead
earnest apex
Yup, but now whenever that svg code is called, it’ll activate whatever is put in as long as you’re still on the page.
pure sierra
anyway, im off to bed, not going to do anything about it as its very unlikely anyone will get xss on my site, and i dont have any account system so no cookies or sessions to steal... but interesting to keep it in mind for my other sites
ebon ermine
@pure sierra at an old employer, we would get these kinds of reports frequently. it's people who run standard, off the shelf vulnerability scanners against arbitrary websites, turn the results into "bug reports", and ask for bounties.
like, they just straight up run burpsuite against everything
lunar cobalt
Open Bug Bounty is supposed to not accept reports from automated tools... hahaha
earnest apex
They’re probably running burpsuite against every site they can find, and if it finds something they modify what it found slightly to make it so bug bounty accepts it.

Anyone have any good guides to learning C?
I’m trying to get better foundations in CS, starting with C and computer networking
Also any good ideas for projects. I was thinking maybe using sockets to make a basic client-server demo. I really want to learn how routing/packets/dns works etc
coral sundial
How much programming do you know?
unreal cloak
That’s a difficult question to answer lol
I have a degree in computer engineering and 2 years of work experience mostly with higher level garbage collected languages. I understand the basic concepts of OS like virtual address spaces and process scheduling etc but don’t know how to actually code low-level in C
coral sundial
Oh so you want to make like custom lists and stuff?
long raft
so you want to learn C and networking at the same time?
generally in C you start with a hello world, then a number guessing game, then you rebuild data structures yourself, like make your own linked list or something, do your own sorts, try out all the data structures
make sure you get some practice linking dynamic and static libraries
its really just a space to practice pointers, i dunno how much there really is to learn in C
most stuff will come so naturally to you, pointers will be the only barbed idea
unreal cloak
I made a lot of data structures in C++ in my data structures course-- trees, hash maps, tries, linked list, sorted set, etc
unreal cloak
most stuff will come so naturally to you, pointers will be the only barbed idea
This is probably what I'm after. I want a better intuitive understanding of how computers operate and I figure the best way is to learn C.
I feel that at work I am learning a lot about software development, but not much about computer science.
long raft
making data structures in C++ is easy compared to C
since there are no classes...
structs and functions is how you achieve them, so its just like relearning primitive ways to do things
learn the horrible conventions of C
(nothing is thread safe, functions return integer error codes or boolean values, wtf is an exception?, naming conventions which are already familiar to c++, macro hell)
frankly its hard to construct anything meaningful in C in a short period of time so its mostly just a workspace for learning the computer's literal operations
unreal cloak
I dont know anything about macros
I guess I’ll start with making data structures then
I’m gonna put it off to mess around in Godot first
coral sundial
If what you want to learn what pointers are you might as use c++ in funky ways to be fair
unreal cloak
I mostly want to learn low-level programming
I had a single class in C for microprocessor programming, writing directly to registers with bit shifting, but I’d like to go further
unreal cloak
I know I'm just giving an example
you can write to memory randomly though right? By doing operations on pointers?
long raft
sort of? if the OS doesnt catch you
its just a modern language but without built-in checking
hence why its so fast, because it doesnt check anything
if you dont write over a memory page boundary you basically dont get caught
coral sundial
If you want to work with registers i might suggest AVR programming in c
If you want to go further try programming your own lcd
unreal cloak
@coral sundial my design project in college was programming a microcontroller with LCD that was controlled by I2C I believe. I ended up doing a guitar hero ripoff, writing directly to the internal registers that controlled the clocks and timers to generate PWM signals for the audio channels. It was pretty fun
coral sundial
oh thats indeed very cool
but did you do it in C?
you can also program an LCD without I2C or serial
unreal cloak
yeah it was in C
I dont have the code anymore unfortunately
the thing was that the microcontroller had its own IDE, think like the Arduino editor, and so I wasn't using GCC or linking libraries or anything like that.

i think people know the equation for integrity and i think its simple linear

The max health of a bunker structure is equal to the sum of the max health of each directly-connected bunkers multiplied by the structural integrity value.

earnest apex
From what I’ve been told, it impacts the range slightly, and shooting up onto a cliff also has some impact with shots sometimes appearing to land way short due to the terrain inside cliffs being weird. You should always be careful firing up a cliff to not accidentally overcorrect over the cliff into the defilade behind.

I don't think there's a source for tech, as that's faction specific info and is made by the devs every war so it changes. We don't really know what's going to be where either since it's only shown 3 levels at a time

And the API is agnostic to Faction, Tech is not.
