I started working on some basic character controls in UE4 blueprints and I still find thr jumble of wires to become extremrly messy. Though I guess I can get used to it over time.

It just feels slower for me compared to letting VS autocomplete most of my worfs haha

[long leaf]

did some progress, forgot to upload it, haven't worked on it for a week because now I have to do actually hard stuff like introducing a framework for levels and stuff

added:
better ability hud info, another ability to test the ability framework behind the scenes
more "variable constants"

also very basic enemy ai, that it just shoots at you when you're within 300 units

Just finished my save-load-inventory system

It auto creates up to 10 backup saves, and pulls from the most recent one whenever there's a failure to load. It stores the entire world state, including all object / enemy / player states

There's also a ton of work done behind the scenes in the inventory to make this work, which saved a ton of memory and also fixed a memory leak. It also enables me to finally start tweaking the built-in modifiable stats on all my guns

very happy with it. Each day I crawl slightly closer to a game

had a game idea:

Dice Shooter. You have a dice, which you can roll periodically that decides what weapon you get.

Weapons range from:
-a revolver that can stagger enemies
-a shotgun that freezes enemies
-a rapid firing gun that shoots sharp knives
-a powerful rocket launcher
-grenade launcher that shoots molotovs
and more.

No weapon is weak, all of them can clear enemies.

Rtcw uses .md3 iirc?

For its file format

[minor bear]

.md3 and .mdc for maps objects and weapon models

.mds for character models

.mdc is basically compressed .md3 and its not really needed anymore.(it was implemented to fit the game on 1 CD)

Yeah, if it's some multi voice synth, putting an arp on it with low buffer settings is gonna tank that cpu lol

That's why I find the occasional gamejam helpful to get an idea out and done in a single release

May not be pretty, but at least it's a proof of concept

i only made one game that i've released so take my advice with a grain of salt

After a brief tangent where I spent 4 days trying to wrangle another character controller to properly wallrun, I've just gone back and updated my old controller and tweaked some deflect code (along with a handful of other things)

[long leaf]

DELTA-T update #at least 5
-Implemented a basic menu screen, finally
-some more abilities
I've fixed the collision issues in this vid, made weapons correctly collide with bullets which was a pain, and implemented a very basic levels system by just rigging an Area2D to load the next level, lol. maybe a loading screen would be good...

[brisk merlin]

We just like to shoot stuff

[indigo shard]

we do indeed

[arctic radish]

Question for all you modelers out there
how would you go about modeling a 2.5D platforming game environment?
would you:
-Make it all out of CSG shapes (or ProBuilder )
-Model the environment based off the player's scale outside of the game engine
-Model the environment in engine, then export the scene and import the scene into blender for further refinement
-do fucking nothing and die

[indigo shard]

as someone with no modeling experience

in engine first might be best?

that way you can get a feel of the scale first

[brisk merlin]

Level design in general is good in engine y know iteration and all

[arctic radish]

Godot allows you to export the entire Scene as a gltf and import it into blender
including camera settings in engine will be exported and kept in blender

[indigo shard]

based godot strikes again

[untold niche]

wdym by 2.5D environment? Is it for the game with the acid rain or another project?

[arctic radish]

Another project
2.5D usually is a loose term

more like 3D sidescroller
like Metroid Dread

where the scene is 3D, but the camera is usually at a fixed distance away from the scene

[indigo shard]

if its like dread you could try making a simple version of the area first, then doing background later

[arctic radish]

but the issue is the areas is like
procedural
like the layout of the map is the same, but the environment itself is different

[indigo shard]

ah

that is more difficult

[arctic radish]

so I'm struggling to figure out the easiest vector for modeling them

[severe peak]

do i need a role to paste stuff in here

[indigo shard]

ye i think

[wraith beacon]

Modular meshes probably.

[eternal schooner]

the one who screams goes uncanny

honestly dont care

they both work

though 2nd one probably fits og dusk more

[eternal schooner]

But daaaaaym this map looks good

[merry lotus]

just wait until saturday 👀

Anyone know what settings to properly match a 60 FOV camera in Blender to a 60 FOV camera in Unity? The animations aren't framed the same between Blender to Unity

[arctic radish]

Unity idk, but Godot frames it up with how Blender's FoV is built (just have to turn on "sensor fit" to "Vertical" in blender's camera because it's weird)

[fast vault]

Yeah I tried that and it looks a little better, but still quite a bit off

[pure jackal]

Unity "units" are a bit fucked when moving from blender

Like 1 unity unit is 0.5 blender unit

A bit of a progress update with my prototype

There's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that's been improved, like WorldObjects, which have a way safer API for storing information across saves. Dashing is also done a bit unorthodox so I had to do a bunch of math to get it to not clip through walls / project along surfaces

I'm aware that it's not very pretty, but it's very functional. Doing my best to make this as robust as physically possible

[fast vault]

Pretty can come later. Nice!

Updated some deflection logic to only deflect to the nearest enemy that's in your field of view

[eternal schooner]

holyyyy shit

[long leaf]

Looks good! behind the scenes stuff isnt as shiny but its always worth it from what i've found

[arctic radish]

my brain is tired
I need a simple thing to work on

maybe a game where it's a 2D puzzle platformer
where you go through a procedurally generated dungeon, and throughout the rooms you can see a whole bunch of dangerous shit under you, upside down
and when you initially reach the end of the dungeon you fight a boss and then the world flips and you gotta escape the dungeon upside down, and all those dangerous rooms that you saw initially through your first run through, you're now having to solve those.

[long leaf]

sounds like a rougelite

[humble dagger]

More stuff, I've shown saving stuff off before but it makes more sense with some text

Interesting thing, the way this works it just produces a stream of bytes that I can send wherever I want, so if at any point I determine I want some kind of multiplayer, I can send the byte stream between PCs to encode the world state. I'm like 90% sure XMLSerializer is safe and has no RCE exploits, but even if it did I'm almost definitely not doing multiplayer for a prototype lol

[fast vault]

Very nice. Save systems trip me out, and I'm not too good with the more data-oriented side of things

Yes, i've been exploring a bit of the programming side of the engine. Fun stuff. A bit tricky sometimes.

who put anime girls in my doom

[lunar socket]

no idea whether to put this here or #ultrakill-modding but here goes:
For anyone who knows Blender, how do you make a model slightly transparent/translucent? I extracted the model of (Ultrakill spoilers) ||Minos Prime|| and I need it slightly transparent for certain details inside to come through.

[humble herald]

You use either a translucency shader or a transparency texture

The transparency is controlled by the alpha channel of the texture

[crimson tapir]

Alright, so here's what I came up with for snowball mechanics

Left mouse is the standard shot which has an arc, an explosive radius (cloud of powder), and small snow chunks fly off in the direction the snowball was going, that do small amounts of damage

Right mouse is a quick shot that has no arc, travels faster, but does less damage, smaller explosion, and no chunks

Shift + left mouse is a left curve ball and shift + right mouse is a right curve ball, which is identical to the normal shot, but curves and does considerably more knockback

Other weapons would be more like powerups that spawn slowly and have a set amount of ammo, that makes the weapon disappear once depleted

I'm so done with unity. Once I'm finished with this prototype I'm jumping directly into Godot

[eternal schooner]

unreal
https://c.tenor.com/-OpJG9GeK3EAAAAM/kanye-west-stare.gif

[humble dagger]

Why would I want to work in unreal

Godot is just nice

Also something I'm curious about, I have enough time to work on one thing this weekend, should I make

A: A system / UI for earning XP/Souls and spending them to upgrade guns

B: An equippables system where you have rings that apply certain effects to the player (think max health, speed buff, etc)

C: An items system, where you can use stuff like estus / whatever to apply effects

I appreciate anyone's input, this is a vote mostly because I can't decide myself

[spare scarab]

A seems like the easiest to get out of the way

and get a second one

[unique trellis]

I'm slowly working on a Y2K aesthetic throwback FPS called CyberAnima, recently just added in Quake-esque movement and a very basic weapon system (albeit in animation/sound only)

https://vxtwitter.com/stixc_charles/status/1557356945174134784
https://vxtwitter.com/stixc_charles/status/1557501247141429250

[humble dagger]

Nice! Interesting choice to go for proper strafe hopping instead of a more source-y style. Any reason for it in particular?

[unique trellis]

I mainly want my game to have satisfying movement rather than something that feels clunky, the original player controller was based on Godot code by Garbaj (the normal FPS controller) but modded to be fast, it was fine but not satisfying if you get the picture

Hence the Quake-esque controller

[humble dagger]

I gathered that, the main question I had was that I noticed it's side hopping as opposed to just A/D hopping

Is that intentional or a side effect?

[unique trellis]

It's A/D hopping but I suck at B-hopping lol

B-hopping in CyberAnima is pretty similar to how Quake handles it

Albeit I wish I coded it to be easier to pull off to be in line with Xonotic/Quake 2's movement

[humble dagger]

Try doing the same thing but don't touch W

I'd like to see a recording of that

[unique trellis]

You can't B-hop in my game without pressing W if I'm correct

I'll try

[unique trellis]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM605VAjN6I here's me doing exactly that without pressing w

it's a bit tricky for me but yeah it's doable

[humble dagger]

Nice. Can't watch it now, at work, but that's very challenging code to write

[unique trellis]

thank you ❤️

[long leaf]

godot chads stay WINNING

[long leaf]

was in a bit of a rut with my game
felt kinda pointless

I decided to crack on anyway and I got some more "advanced" enemy ai that boils down to:
if player within 300, move in to 100 and attack
if shot at any point retreat to current dist + 100 and disengage
it still took a bloody hour though

[long leaf]

added:
tim allen noise (just to test how audio works of course)
placeholder face with logic
enemy ai that can actually be counted as rough ai

[untold niche]

Keep the tim allen grunt pls

[fast vault]

That's the thing that lets you use Trenchbroom for level design, right?

lessss goooooo

[pastel cave]

FUCK YES

[fast vault]

Got any guides you followed on setting up a page? I'm looking to set one up soon as well, thanks

[muted stirrup]

if youve got key art/cover art then its really a matter of reusing the content there just adjusted in say photoshop to fit the dimensions better

you need 5 screenshots minimum, all have to be in game, as for guides there is some documentation but tbh i kinda didnt follow any guides (there are some on YT that are useful iirc)

also, little heads up, their system is a buggy to say the least, theres one bug i encountered when making it public where the button to do just that wouldnt work (though was solved as i found solution on reddit that it was a known bug)

[fast vault]

Working on some more updates to the deflect logic

[livid sail]

That's what I was gonna say.

[neon geode]

[livid sail]

You literally just added the funni parry from ULTRAKILL to this honestly.

[eternal schooner]

And it's cool!

[livid sail]

Yup.

[fast vault]

Yup! We had initially added a parry early on and then I later learned that Ultrakill also had a parry system. Learned a lot from that game about what makes a satisfying parry

[livid sail]

If this game is coming to Steam, I'm wishlisting it.

||also add a charge so then i can do the funni demoknight in another game||

[fast vault]

Thanks! Yeah it's still very early on in development, but I'll post updates here as the project continues

[livid sail]

Honestly, wish I could help with the game because it looks cool and stuff.

[cunning wing]

more games need shield trimping as a mechanic

after 1 crash I figured out how to grass (kinda)

[warped sentinel]

Agreed. The only problem is that it might be hard to implement since trimping was originally source spaghetti physics bs

look at himmmmmm

me walking outta gym in leg day with huge arm pump

are you being serious

[untold niche]

I think he got the wrong door, the leather club's two blocks down

[earnest lily]

flipped normals, blender viewport isn't so good at showing them anymore, you can quickly select all faces / verts and do CTRL+N to normalize

[eternal schooner]

yes i fixed it

thanks 😄

[earnest lily]

happens to the best of us 😔

[arctic radish]

Reminder

[eternal schooner]

aight lets goo

[wraith beacon]

Still no where near as convenient as it was in 2.7x though.

[arctic radish]

because 2.7X always had a Matcap on

well

in the viewport

[wraith beacon]

Wasn't a matcap it was just gouraud lambert IIRC.

You could use matcaps in the viewport but.

[arctic radish]

honestly I find godot's ability to select which face culling the material has to at least alleviate a lot of the pain with normals

because I can just select "Disable" for culling for that model

or material

[eternal schooner]

invisible collision just doesn't let me in

LET ME IIIIIN

[earnest lily]

yes, I am very well aware of that, as well as the backface culling option which is more convenient and wasn't shown. As Hatsu just mentioned, it was by far much more convenient in 2.7 instead of having to fish possibly busted normals by using one of three options available to the user but tucked away VERY well

[arctic radish]

true

[earnest lily]

I'm malding because it just added a bunch more steps / clicks to something that was perfectly serviceable 😔

[arctic radish]

However I don't think it's that big of a deal in the end
just Ctrl + N the model once finished, and you're good

[earnest lily]

that's not always surefire and that's another problem

[wraith beacon]

Another hotkey to the pile.

[arctic radish]

well if it's not surefire (as with the case if a model has concave parts most of the time) then you can always just turn on one of the options or just switch to a matcap mode in the viewport, and just fix it
because either way blender 2.7X still had these issues where sometimes the normals wouldn't flip properly and you'd have to flip it manually which would still require another Ctrl + N click

Although one thing I'm getting increasingly annoyed at with blender is how Eevee handles transparency

[earnest lily]

transparency is modern rendering's kryptonite in general

I feel you

🫂

[arctic radish]

[wraith beacon]

Eevee handles transparency the same way every modern renderer (and old renderer) does,

[arctic radish]

it's weird how I've used Unity, UE4 (for like 3 days then never opened it again), and Godot
and how all of them has different methods of handling material transparency
Unity uses a B&W image texture, UE4 (I think?) uses a B&transparent image, while godot you just use the alpha on the Albedo (no need for multiple textures for alpha)
and it's like the year is 2022, you'd think there would be a common and GPU efficient way to render transparency without any texture (or for that matter like what Godot does, but godot's weirrrrd where the render pipeline renders over the transparency last so the transparent mat gets drawn over most other transparent mats)

[earnest lily]

iirc unreal can either use a separate map or any pic's alpha channel if you wish

[wraith beacon]

You can just like, plug the alpha from the albedo into the alpha though 🤔

[arctic radish]

Can you in Unity?

[wraith beacon]

But yeah you can just use literally any greyscale float for the alpha in Blender and Unreal.

[arctic radish]

damn

[wraith beacon]

Same with Unity IIRC.

But Unity doesn't have the best node based support.

[arctic radish]

Godot's nodes are broken (well, more like the UI is, scaling out too far doesn't allow you to connect nodes for some reason so you gotta keep the zoom at like x50 or x75)

For some reason nodes in game engines are scuffed, minus UE4/5

[earnest lily]

UE4 nodes are called K2 internally for a reason

🥶

experience, the best teacher

and by god they learned a lot of lessons

😰

[arctic radish]

I'm honestly unsure how the dev of cruelty squad made 90% of the mats look the way they do without lagging or slowdown
but then again there's barely any shadows anywhere so who knows
Because I thiiiiink they used godot's shader nodes for some of it which is confusing

[arctic radish]

actually no

you can see if a normal is or isn't flipped without any changes in the settings

In rendered/lookdev mode, yeah no you can't really tell

but in the default viewport you can

a better look

[fickle zinc]

what the heck did yo do to create that did something in sculpting mode go wrong

this would be a perfect area to for some pyschologicaol level design , i would suggest to keep it empty and then later add the boss on the other side of the door as this area is too small for a player to fight thier way around a boss

its to narrow and and circle strafing isnt really an option

That's the very first level and it has to look like some sort of... medieval castle?

Movement is still a wip, but I'm taking the time to do a funny with the IK system in godot

I love Designing my own TTRPG
I especially love the Baseball bat weapon I put into it, which is specifically inspired by a certain blue arm from ultrakill

[bleak ermine]

Do y'all want me to send the Heavily WIP rules?

@dim cedar repainted the grass texture in 256x256 instead of 128x128

[dim cedar]

this way it looks like grass finally and not sir you are being haunted on launch

[pure jackal]

RIP the SYABH aesthetic

[fast vault]

Some more deflection testing

[unique crag]

Did you make the textures yourself or you've found them somewhere if I May ask?

[merry lotus]

I think I either made them myself or shrunk down textures from ambientcg.com

[unique crag]

I see, thank you :D

your game is cool though

[deep wadi]

Oh what's up dude

Thanks lol

I'll just have to keep "participating" so I can shill

Which absolutely does not equate to me spreading out my messages

Like this

wip drone worker enemy for my game

[arctic radish]

daaamnit I just realized I'm going to have way WAY less time on my hands than previously anticipated due to college starting tomorrow

[indigo shard]

damn

f

[arctic radish]

well that means I can touch more grass

which is a perfectly viable trade

[indigo shard]

true!

[wooden plaza]

hands should be about 2/3 tall as the head when vertical, and about 1/2 as wide
model looks nice otherwise

[unique cedar]

I LOVE CODING I LOVE SCROLLING THREW 5 YEAR OLD GAME CODE FOR ME TO STEAL FOR MY OWN GAME

update on that

the most comprehendable part of the code so far is the fishing stuff

[arctic radish]

yeet wip mats for the model

[arctic radish]

I forgor to respond to this yesterday
But I'm well aware that's roughly how most humanoid hands are made dimension wise, and I'm consciously making the decision to make the hands a little smaller because the weapon models wouldn't fit the hands if they were that big (I really don't want to redo the textures for the weapons for this thing just to fix the grips of them)

[eternal schooner]

AYO V3 JUST GOT LEAKED

[eternal schooner]

ok it kinda works?

Day 2 Of Daily Message Until I Can Shill In #general-modding

Burger King Breakfast.

[fast vault]

Making enemies is such a time consuming process of testing

[wraith beacon]

Actually working on game design

[earnest lily]

are you gonna shill what I think you're gonna shill or are you going to shill the unshilled

[deep wadi]

Both

[humble dagger]

It's a chore all the way down

I don't like enemies that just run straight at you but I know why they exist

[mint hill]

give our lord and savior Andrew embed perms please

[arctic radish]

Making non smoke and mirror enemies are a chore

Reminder that most game enemies are just: move to target, if target is in range/ all the requirements are met, do thing, repeat

[fast vault]

Yeah, I just have a difficult time of making the enemies interesting and fun to fight

[earnest lily]

the big problem I have with AI design is the "moving to target" part. Most games require more than Quake's implementation...

[fast vault]

Does Quake use a navmesh?

[tranquil oracle]

nope

[warped sentinel]

how2coed minceraf mod whit pythen

[merry lotus]

you need to be at least 13 years old to use discord

[long leaf]

I need bullets to be weakly affected by gravity for my current crappy enemy ai to make sense untill I can implement tilemaps and use a pathfinding plugin

[unique trellis]

How old are you?
Wait let me talk your language
How oald are ouy?

[fast vault]

How do they know where to go? I know in Doom, they just have a bunch of raycasts that tell them if there's an obstacle on front

[spare scarab]

They want to kill u, the player, so bad that they break their programming

[arctic radish]

Navmesh’s are kinda a curse in disguise for the most part

At least I find it that way

Because for Unity, you need to set things up just right or else it just spews out errors, godot is the same, but it at least gives the error code more details.
I’ve only used A* for if nav meshes aren’t viable, but god damn are the movements usually annoying to change in A*

There really is no good and adaptive solution for enemy navigation

Also Navmesh’s don’t (idk if it’s changed recently or not) really allow for the nav mesh agents to transfer to another navmesh seamlessly (or at all in the case of Godot)

[fast vault]

There's a unity github where they have an advanced version of the navmesh system (not sure why it's not implemented in the engine yet) and it seems to work fine with different navmesh areas and offmesh movement

[humble dagger]

The only way I've been able to solve this is using the navmesh agent as a guide for my enemies

Like, my enemies follow the agent around

[tranquil oracle]

They don't. Quake's AI is barely more complicated than Doom's, it's basically just "face target, move towards it, move randomly if we hit a wall"

[eternal schooner]

blood kinda

i know this hud sucks it's just a test thingy

i mean kinda

[vast gust]

why would you make that your profile pic lmao

[eternal schooner]

because poor howie

[eternal schooner]

aight new hud

itsss kinda nice?

[indigo shard]

damn thats nice

[eternal schooner]

damn thank you!

[untold niche]

I especially like the weapon shaped gauge

[eternal schooner]

thank youuuuu

[indigo shard]

ye that was a nice touch

[arctic radish]

should I release a bunch of my unfinished game prototypes?

like in a big free package

[eternal schooner]

Why not?

[arctic radish]

Well
firstly they're unfinished, a lot of them don't even have the means of a main menu or anything that can switch from scene to scene

which is fine because I can just make one in like 3 minutes tops, but like

[eternal schooner]

Still

You don't claim that those are finished games🗿

[arctic radish]

well I'm more concerned about how to approach uploading them
Because one hand, I could like... upload a build of like one scene and a blurb of what the game was going to turn into
or on the other hand I could just upload the physical project files and people can see why exactly they were canned instead of building a buildable version

because the ladder option could lead to more confusion for the common person (because you'd need Godot to open them)
however the former option would be more user friendly, but less informative on why it ultimately got canned (like previously stated)

oh yeah btw

also blender PLZ I just want to work on another enemy model

[untold niche]

you have unleashed the void

[arctic radish]

I just want to redo this model

[fickle zinc]

what happend

what is that

why are there so many verticies

[arctic radish]

not verts, seems to be a GPU issue

[pure jackal]

Why is your GPU death appearing on a software recording

[spare scarab]

eye screenshot

[pure jackal]

Thats not how it works

[spare scarab]

what? you mean you cant do that?

[arctic radish]

because Gpu hiccups, causes Blender to freak out visually, Record it, Profit(?)

[unique trellis]

heheh moddy mod

[eternal schooner]

I got absolutely no clue how I'm gonna make a cutscene

also i don't think these good fellas gonna make it into da game

ok maybe the left one will he looks kinda menacing

[fickle zinc]

notify of any clipping problems

[spare scarab]

oh hey you're back

[merry lotus]

[indigo shard]

ye

[sudden imp]

A proper trailer

[fickle zinc]

need this for review

[spare scarab]

sure i'll take a look

i'd love to talk about the model in ur dms but u blocked me

[fast vault]

Working on updating an old enemy

[arctic radish]

hand textured this instead of using procedural because I like the look of hand painted textures better than procedural

a little better look because I hate Cycles noise sometimes

[spare scarab]

looks awesome

how long have u been making models for?

[arctic radish]

Approaching year 10 (ish)

Because I started modeling technically in middle school (I was 9) but I didn't start using Blender until I was 10, which is where I personally would say I started actually modeling

[spare scarab]

wow that's a long time

[arctic radish]

Very much so

[pure jackal]

damn your stuff is sick cass

[eternal schooner]

goddamn that looks awesome!

[long leaf]

shit 50 minutes to get in on screenshot saturday

[long leaf]

so I got tweens working

not much to show yet but I got a few more things to do

[cosmic goblet]

2 minutes late to screenshot saturday

you know what that means...

[long leaf]

oh yeah also added the date to the main menu so that the thumbnail looks a little less repetitive

[arctic radish]

it got a welder now
