How much experience

[arctic radish]

Ik a bit of pure C

[jagged compass]

Im gonna assume i can't just post clips and vids here directly or embed stuff

for now at least

[tranquil oracle]

C++ is overrated don't @ me

[edgy bay]

i like c++ :(

[jagged compass]

bue does c++ like you back?

[edgy bay]

no it hates everyone

[tranquil oracle]

I don't like C++ but I begrudgingly accept that it's a necessary evil sometimes

That language is full of stupid shit though

You might think you could change

auto a = A();
auto b = B();
auto c = C();
auto d = D();
M(a, b, c, d);

to

M(A(), B(), C(), D());

but nope. That invokes undefined behaviour because the compiler is allowed to reorder those calls (and it WILL)

So if the order matters, that change will break the code because C++ never draws the line on optimizations where it should

[edgy bay]

average c++ L

[woeful hazel]

fuck C++ (I’ve never used it)

I only use C#

[edgy bay]

C# just microsoft java tbh

[woeful hazel]

I prefer C# to Java

Not too fond of it

[rotund garden]

[jagged compass]

[spare scarab]

that looks very cool

[tranquil oracle]

Far from it, actually

Once upon a time that may have been one of the motivations behind its creation, but it's actually a very different language

It has value types, pointers, runtime generics, etc, all fundamental features that aren't present in Java and allow you to write better code

Basically C# just has surface-level similarities to Java when it comes to syntax, and... that's about it

[tranquil oracle]

I've only had to write some C++ for AE once or twice actually

[arctic radish]

I had a coding class for pure C

[spare scarab]

awesome

[arctic radish]

Never again will I use such primal coding
Because fuck the usual lack of debug errors/vague error codes

legit the teacher had us always open C documentation on our school computers just for that reason

[tranquil oracle]

C and C++ are extremely powerful but it's also super easy to shoot yourself in the foot with them

[arctic radish]

Agreed

[tranquil oracle]

I've been writing C/C++ for like, over 10 years now, and there are still stupid things that can trip me up at times

[arctic radish]

I'm both glad I got through the class though
However
The amount of time it took for that entire class to get done, I could've watched like 5 YT tutorials over the principles of C and optimizations for it

so that's a thing

I've only used C for if I need to toy with the idea of making my own engine, which usually never ends well so I drop it and when I pick it back up I'm like "this is seriously how I coded? Where's the comments?"

[tranquil oracle]

lmao

meanwhile my comments:

this is in gloomwood

[arctic radish]

Ohhhhhh god Serialization
There's not one game engine that makes it easy and I hate that fact

Legit my comments use to be nonexistent
now my comments are:

Which btw
I still haven't ported my code to 3.5 due to shader issues

this is p the most cursed shit I had to do in Godot in a loooong time
Basically godot pulled a "no u" on my ass when I tried to connect a signal from another node to the player, and the code spans like 63 lines of just dumb shit just for it to not crash and burn when emitting the signal from that node.

I have yet to find a better serialization solution other than straight up making mirror classes of everything I'd need

Also don’t edgesplit

[merry lotus]

reminded of back when i was starting gamedev and i didn't know shade smooth existed so i just subdivided models until they looked smooth

[arctic radish]

Use the marking edges as sharp, and normal editing for if you want a sharp edge

I think we were all there at one point Plaz

Except for me I had trouble with that AND I didn’t know how object origins worked

So something in blender might look right, but when exported the origins would be like under the floor so the object would be displaced

A new one added to the collection

[wraith beacon]

Skill issue

[arctic radish]

I legit have the power of somehow finding methods of stopping memory leaks

and these methods no one can explain, not even the Godot devs

[unique trellis]

Zombie tearing unity a new one again

[tranquil oracle]

Does Godot use a GC? I would assume that adding the element to the array causes it to become rooted, so it won't be collected until the array itself is also collected

Pretty common technique for keeping GC-able objects alive, particularly when you're dealing with buggy/broken APIs like some in Unity (or one of my favorite examples: Steamworks.NET)

Well, not necessarily storing in an array, just keeping a reference to the value somewhere that gives it the appropriate lifetime

[arctic radish]

I'm not entirely sure if it is for GC, Because I tried to store the same thing in a Dictionary, but it caused a leak, so just having it referenced and rooted doesn't seen to work other than just with arrays
Which is really really weird

[tranquil oracle]

That does seem strange

[earnest lily]

I assume this is GDScript, right ?

and not C#

[arctic radish]

yeah

but it seems to be the case for C# godot as well

given my friend just tested it with the current 4.0 branch which ahs a bit more extended C# features and it seems like it still happens

[tranquil oracle]

Currently all signs in my head are pointing to this

[arctic radish]

Yeah

Which always leads to the question of why just the array

[tranquil oracle]

Arrays are super common so they're generally the obvious thing to optimize first

So if this IS the case, it's probably just a matter of arrays getting more development love

[arctic radish]

It's weird that even the Godot documentation doesn't run into this issue or state this issue though
At least from my many years of binge reading the documentation for Godot

[tranquil oracle]

Presumably because it's not intended behaviour

[arctic radish]

But yet it's been around for like who knows how long and is still currently in engine, hmmmm

and if you do want to smooth shade and subdivide, there's more thought that needs to go into this stuff

[spare scarab]

pog

[humble herald]

with modelling something you should be careful about subdivisions

It may give you more detail and less "thing made of squares" look but it may screw up your model almost irrevocably

your transforms will be a lot more annoying, your face work will be tougher to deal with and your UV mapping is going to be pretty annoying too

[spare scarab]

yea just... really gotta know exactly when to subdiv and why

[humble herald]

yeah I made the mistake of trying to do really high def tubing that way on my first real model

that thing is now unfit to texture

And I wouldn't

Like most x.0 release it's going to have a lot more bugs than previous ones, less documentation for Godot Script 2 (fuck it btw), and keep in mind you're going to basically need a whole new codebase for your projects

there was supposed to be a 3.x to 4.0 project converter, but I've used it

So the easy way to get the effect you're trying to do is to just go into edit mode, select what edges want smoothened, click MESH>NORMALS>SHADING>SMOOTH

You don't need to have this many subdivisions

[arctic radish]

doesn't matter if they break compatibility and consistency syntax wise its bad in my eyes
It's unneeded to change the actual look of the syntax when everything is being done internally.

[tranquil oracle]

GDScript is Pythonic therefore it's bad

[arctic radish]

Obligatory no one can embed C# in their game engines correctly moment

[humble dagger]

Pythonic good

I don't want to write like

cout << std::who_cares::dumbass(value) every time i need to do something

At a certain point typed pythonic stuff is just nice to write in imo.

[humble dagger]

GDScript is the happy middle ground between being extremely performant and easy for beginners. C# is great but it's definitely not a good first language

I will clarify one thing which might make me take it all back, I haven't had the chance to write any GDScript yet, just read it over the shoulder on friends projects. It would be extremely funny if I went to lengths like this to defend it and ended up hating it.

[arctic radish]

See, Godot 4.0 ISN'T GDScript

It's GDScript 2

And they changed a lot of syntax for basic coding with it

when it really really wasn't needed, because under the hood it's just C++ with a python like coat of paint (actually in all honesty it really isn't Python like at all, it's mostly the white spacing that's like python, everything else seems more like a robust, simpler C#)

So them changing the surface level syntax (like changing "onready" to "@ onready" becauseeeeee... Apparently it's a "Inconsistency between GDS2 script layout and GDS one" (whatever that means))

long story short they're making it take longer to code things in a supposedly simple syntax style

[humble dagger]

I think this is kind of the trade-off though. Yes you could just have users do things in C++ but that's not easy by any means. Users who know C++ well enough to comfortably program are usually the types who have spent years eating and breathing the stuff. I write embedded code for a living and C++ is a PAIN.

[arctic radish]

Well no

no that's not what I'm saying

[humble dagger]

And I definitely wouldn't say that C++ is faster to code in, having to define everything three times is a huge pain

It's annoying that they changed the syntax but I'd rather a consistent language IMHO, inconsistent stuff is confusing and annoying (shoutouts to unity lmao)

[arctic radish]

Under the hood of GDS is C++, but the custom language (GDS/GDS2) is being changed between 3.X and 4.0

which fucking sucks for long time users

[humble dagger]

I mean is it fundamental changes? Or just syntax changes

[arctic radish]

for newer users, sure they can start up a new project and use it, but for someone with a pre-existing project that WANTS a LOT of the more robust 3D features (like in engine skeleton editing and animation) can't

Fundamental, and syntax change is the major reason for it being fundamental

[humble dagger]

I can understand that frustration, but I want to ask what you think the alternative is

Interpreters / compilers aren't exactly cakewalks

[arctic radish]

I've always said this, even before Godot 4.0 was a thing,
"If they change how easy it is to translate one line from C# over to GD script, and make it harder for it to be a "Simple" coding language, I'm ditching Godot and pursue trying and learning more C#/C++/C for my own game engine."

and honestly, 4.0 will most likely be my breaking point depending on the unknowns of how much syntax changed for simple things like translation, movement, getting and setting, etc.

[humble dagger]

Idk I think it's not inherently bad that its simple, just different

And it not mapping 1-1 to C# is fine and somewhat understandable. It's just a new language to pick up

[arctic radish]

Well, the issue is when you have over half your projects on hold to see if 3.X to 4.0 project exporter works as well as I'd hope

Because the codebase changed so much

plus it's going to take more time relearning how things are done in GDS2 vs GDS

[humble dagger]

Yeah but that's also true of like, writing your own engine

Or picking up any other engine

There's definitely a satisfaction to having your own thing to mess with and knowing how it works but I'd argue the time it would take to manually convert all of your projects to the new GDScript is like half the time it would take to get a functional, performant 3D engine up and running

That's not a dig btw I'm just trying to be honest. Writing 3D stuff is HARD

Even getting polygons to show on screen right is hard enough, getting something with 3D graphics is a pain. I've dipped my toes in all of it and lemmie tell you, I'm good using an engine lmao

[arctic radish]

I've been through OpenGL, I'm well aware it's the equivalent of lighting your hair on fire, sure it will burn, and then a moment later cover yourself with liquid nitrogen, no way you're dealing with it

what are 90% of those errors

or is there only like 2 errors and the rest are warnings?

[humble dagger]

It was because I was using an unsigned pointer for the graphics memory rather than a uint8_t, and it lead to the garbage memory in between the pixels being interpreted as data

[humble dagger]

If you're a CE that's what I'd expect. If you're CS I'd be concerned

which ISN'T USED

[long leaf]

I was able to get it down to 2 errors and 14 warnings

most are x return value isn't used

btw it ran fine even with the 50 errors but the clean up does help with debugging

[arctic radish]

yeah godot's weird, you gotta put the line that's "unused" into a Var or return an existing var (like if you had Velocity a Vector3, and you're putting that value into a "move_and_slide()" function , you'd say Velocity = move_and_slide(Velocity, Vector3.UP).)

idk why it does that, but it doesn't harm anything other than filling up your debugger

[humble dagger]

Definitely a compiler thing

havent you posted both of these in the same exact way before

i remember seeing these

[pure jackal]

Probably without the extra shapes

[spare scarab]

like, i think the way you're going about this is purely by visuals

sure, they look fine on the outside as long as you dont view the actual mesh

if you intend to work with your models or let someone else work with your models - the mesh itself needs to be much cleaner than that

just plain texturing some of this stuff will already be a pain

[long leaf]

can I ask why using subdiv isnt the best

not that I model but

[pure jackal]

You get a shit ton of extra polygons thay you don't need

[jagged loom]

yeah and it will smooth out some harder edges if you apply it to the entire model which may not be what you want

[spare scarab]

^ pretty much exactly that

it's nice when you know when to use it (usually at earlier stages) and for renders when you're not using your model but just making a pretty picture

[spare scarab]

you're still facing the same issues as before

looks fine on the outside, but at a closer inspection the mesh itself reveals a bunch of problematic parts

and you're still heavily relying on subdiv which WILL bite you in the ass once you start using those models

you can achieve what subdivision modifier does manually while also having a lot of control and keeping the mesh clean

stuff like this will get in the way a lot

or this

look up the bevel tool, it'll smooth out some edges without needing to resort to the subdiv modifier all the time

[fickle zinc]

tried the bevel tool once it didnt work

out so well

ctrl b is a big issue

[pure jackal]

Get used to it

It'll click eventually

[merry lotus]

what about the bevel modifier

[spare scarab]

There are places where you should be careful, yes, but it's still very good

And usually better than just subdiving the whole model

[pure jackal]

please

for the love of god

watch a tutorial

the shapes are good but the geometry is problematic

[spare scarab]

Just having the general outlook of the gun is not enough

At all

[pure jackal]

you need to hit this little thing and then it will actually take effect

if you just import this into somewhere else it wont show any changes

and here's what will happen if i actually apply all the subdivs you made

see the problem now

these top parts are also z-fighting the hell out of each other

sure you can make a shape of a model but you really, really need to learn the general 3d modelling principles and the specifics of it for gamedev if that's what you're trying to do

because the steps you're taking will be a bad habit if you dont stop repeating the same mistakes

[fickle zinc]

well aware of that though a bit hesitent about using a boolean

[spare scarab]

there is no need to boolean anything in that model rn

it can be made without using any modifiers at all if you're going for a basic looking thing

god can you at least unblock me if you're going to be opening my messages anyway thank you

i suggest you start out by doing some low-poly random objects, and not just guns
just general purpose things that have tons and tons of tutorials

guns are pretty specific and while you'll find good stuff on them, it's better to learn general concepts from the whole spectre of items

while doing practice is good, you're practising in the wrong direction rn

like yea you're improving the way you do things, but the way you do things is not really usable in any way

as an example - it's like making plates from cotton
sure you can get good at making them, but they're completely unusable and not really how you should be doing it

try not just modelling the gun - try to learn to texture it as well, and then maybe watch a tutorial on simple animation while you're at it just so you understand how your model will interact with those things even if you dont want to animate or whatever

[fickle zinc]

one main problem thier arnt any low poly sawed off shotguns and the ones that do exist are really not that pratical

[spare scarab]

well then dont look up how to make specifically low poly sawed off shotguns, look up how various other things are made and then use that knowledge to make your sawed off

because in the end you'll be using the same concepts, the same tools, and the same principles

the shape is different, the way you make it is roughly the same

while learning how to make a house or a small animal or a shovel or whatever - you'll learn how to make your meshes cleaner, what to avoid, what good tools to use while making a model etc etc etc

and those will apply anywhere, not just to those specific objects

[desert shard]

Live for the chase

[spare scarab]

aight lets see

ok there you go, the subdiv modifier is gone which is nice to see

but the mesh itself will still be problematic when trying to texture it

you can make the entire model as a single object, there's no need to separate them like this

trying to make the parts separately and then mushing them together is both harder and maybe cause problems later if you don't do it right

[arctic radish]

Mirror 👏 Modifier 👏
Is your friend

[spare scarab]

and yea, for symmetrical things there's basically no reason not to use the mirror modifier

untill you need to start detailing things that arent symmetrical

for a double barrel shotgun specifically i can see making the barrels separately from the rest of the model, sure

but the base part has no reason to consist out of several blocks like this

[arctic radish]

yeah, in that case what I usually do is texture the base object, apply mirror, add extra loose details, fit the extra detail UVs somewhere on the base texture, if not, then make a unique texture

Because normally, I'd apply (if it's a character) the mirror modifier after rigging and weight painting (saves the headache of weight painting both sides, and allows me to start modifying and removing aspects where needed and it shouldn't fuck up the weights that much)

[spare scarab]

a little too early for the man to start thinking about weights and texturing lol, but this is all great advice

i love how it deforms cartoon-like

[jagged loom]

yeah i did that using shape keys

the barrels also have spin smears

[wraith beacon]

Treebranch stuff I guess?

IDK, will prolly need to retexture them.

[earnest lily]

[wraith beacon]

Branch textures.

[arctic radish]

Added side walk leaning

Also by me adding this lean it has broken the laws of coding and now I can rotate the camera on the X axis 360 degrees

when it should be clamped to 89/-89 degrees

So uhhhhh

oops

[spare scarab]

I will check those in like 20 mins

🙏

[spare scarab]

it's good to see that you're doing things in a better way, but you still use a lot of parts that could be a single object

and the mesh in general isnt the best, but it's definelty a big step in the right direction

at least the first file

it's more of the same old stuff in the second one however

the huge uzi-looking thing is basic, but seems usable

can't say that about the rest of the stuff in that file though

[fickle zinc]

called it too many edges for the ak

[spare scarab]

not exactly the problem

it's stuff like this

you're making these parts quite separately which is fine sometimes but it may just get in the way later

and sometimes results in these... gaps in meshes since you have to mush them together just right after making them separately

from my perspective it's the gamedev channel

concept art for people

[fickle zinc]

this is a concept for a dusk level set in a sink hole its more or so a intererpation or an idea of what it would look like enemy placements are going to be later as of now its still needs some work

[humble dagger]

Does anyone know where the scenes are stored in a compiled unity game?

[tranquil oracle]

They're the levelXX files in the data folder

[arctic radish]

How is Gloomwood like <30 MB in size

Wtf black arcane magic is this

Oh wait no that’s just the Exe’s size

Wild

Because on steam it says it’s file size total is <30 MB

[tranquil oracle]

The game's like 300-400mb

[indigo shard]

still pretty small all things considered

[indigo shard]

[sharp swan]

Insurrectionist baseball

[humble dagger]

so then the dev scenes didn't get packaged into the game, makes sense but that's a shame

[tranquil oracle]

We could've included them but they don't have their lighting baked rn

[humble dagger]

btw I see what you mean about having enemies respawn

I was thinking about modding in a quick "blood moon == bonfire saving" difficulty thing but that would mean I'd need to precache all the enemies at the beginning of a level, figure out how to spawn them, spawn them when the save mechanic is used etc etc

[pure jackal]

Bloodmoons gonna have limited saves, so thats evil

[arctic radish]

I wanna included bloodBourne bosses in gloomwood

Idk how I’ll do it but I’ll do it damnit

[arctic radish]

I have settled on a shader script for making the “time shattering” effect for when the player uses time as a weapon in my game

It gave me sooooo much hell to get looking at least a quarter of what I was going for

DM me if you want to team up to do some hacky modding. I have some ideas...

[arctic radish]

Wait…

I think my pc was going to auto update before I left for college

I don’t know if I saved the newest revision of the script or not

[cloud bloom]

Can someone explain to me how to get a unity assetbundle into a BepinEx plugin? I cannot figure it out

Or at least send some helpful documentation i could read (ping if reply pls)

[tranquil oracle]

You mean like, loading one?

[cloud bloom]

Like packing an assetbundle or prefab into a plugin and then loading it with the plugin. I've been looking for some info about it but I cant seem to find useful information

[tranquil oracle]

You can store the asset bundle as an embedded resource in the .dll and then use the LoadFromStream/LoadFromMemory APIs

[cloud bloom]

Okay that makes sense, how do you embed the resource?

Thats more so what i am having trouble understanding

[tranquil oracle]

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/common-msbuild-project-items?view=vs-2022#embeddedresource

In your .csproj

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/resources/manifest-file-names more docs

Then you need to get the Assembly object and call https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.reflection.assembly.getmanifestresourcestream?view=net-6.0

[cloud bloom]

And it takes an assetbundle file right?

[tranquil oracle]

You will get a stream representing the bundle embedded in your DLL

[cloud bloom]

Thank you for those pages 🙏

[tranquil oracle]

Which you can pass to AssetBundle.LoadFromStream

My best friend has returned

yea so what's up with this part

or this one

have you been watching more stuff? it looks better than your previous works

still not really usable imo

this one is fine, basic but i see no big issues with it

good on you 👍

[arctic radish]

I mean it’s lower poly, and I can def imagine it’ll be easy to lower the poly count with that base mesh even more with collapsing verts together

It’s p good so far

[spare scarab]

definetly a big improvement over what it was before

[fickle zinc]

some one already did this

how they did it is not sure

nah man dont do this

[fickle zinc]

thats not the one

what this one?

legit unsure how that even happens

but that's really not ideal imo

[fickle zinc]

based on this

[spare scarab]

how

uhhhh really not how that should be

[arctic radish]

I mean if they want a reload animation you could do something like that

[spare scarab]

ehhhh i dont think that's what they went for lol

but no guessing

[pure jackal]

How does that bottom picture even happen

ur guess is as good as mine really

must be animations from one of the most visually impressive 3d games

that looks rad

good job

[low thicket]

thanks guys <3 glad you like them, i've been working on them while i've been sick

[cloud bloom]

Is there a way to access a game's prefab to instantiate it?

[tranquil oracle]

That depends on how the game is set up

Usually you can steal a reference from an existing "prefab manager" or something similar if the game has one

Sometimes prefabs are stored in the resources folder so you can just Resources.Load them

If it's only referenced by say, a scene, it might be a bit complicated

[cloud bloom]

I'll check it out, thanks.

[cloud bloom]

Is it possible to load an asset from the sharedassets files of a game into a mod?

[fickle zinc]

it has small issues though it was tested

[spare scarab]

that's basically the same exact model as you've sent before dood

i dunno if this is a good idea really

the geometry i mean

not the general shape

[fickle zinc]

its fine had it tested by painting it

[spare scarab]

wh

[fickle zinc]

though the top part has a small problem

[spare scarab]

wdym by "painting" it

[fickle zinc]

checking to see if by going into shading

though could change the handel

as that could be an problem

clicking into shading and looking at the material preview tells you exactly nothing

correction one of the weapons aka the revolver is reloaded similar to one of the cod games , its seems to be reloaded off hand similar to one of bo games as treyarch cant always seem to get revolvers right , the shotgun looks similar to modern warfare though its not really certain, the rifle reload looks like its from dl1 , not saying he copied the animations, just saying that he seems to have taken some insperation from them

[earnest lily]

sorry but

not quite

😛

reloaded is clearly not reloaded with the off-hand a-la CoD

[spare scarab]

they really dont look like em

[earnest lily]

and that type of shotgun reload is a fairly common approach as it shows both the ammo being loaded and the weapon in its full glory

[fast vault]

Do you think in 10 years, we'll see a resurgence of military fps games when they become considered "retro"?

[earnest lily]

I will be very afraid

[fickle zinc]

correction thats without a speed loader the gun is pointed offhand

[earnest lily]

[spare scarab]

word jumble

[fickle zinc]

righte here

[spare scarab]

the fuck is that supposed to tell me

[fickle zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq-PDMuCc1w

just skip to 12 second mark

[spare scarab]

dude

[earnest lily]

I'm not gonna get into this too deep but

its seems to be reloaded off hand similar to one of bo games as treyarch cant always seem to get revolvers right
it ain't doe
and CoD has multiple reload tiers, one in Bo in which the speed loader is used instead of going round by round

do you know what "off hand" means ?

[spare scarab]

1. they dont look similar
2. that's... how you reload a revolver without getting it in the way of the view

tf2's revolvers do this exact same thing

[fickle zinc]

not off hand couldnt really find the term so went with offhand, and just stated this is with out a speed loader

[fickle zinc]

right here

[spare scarab]

so what's your point

[raw haven]

single action revolver tactical reloads dont really have much space for imagination.

[wraith beacon]

Tree

[spare scarab]

a 3

[arctic radish]

uh oh I'm back at it again making more gun designs than needed for my game

[pure jackal]

YOOOO

DRILL LASER?

[arctic radish]

Even better, an on demand EMP nuke!

Yes it fucks up everything including your ears upon use (oops)

I need to figure out a good way to texture it
because the original concept art of it had the colors really vibrant, with the main rods and battery compartment being solid purple (with glow), and everything else a saturated orange and lime

but now I'm not sure

[spare scarab]

Now show the mesh

[fickle zinc]

need to change some vertices to the barrels

[spare scarab]

Omw home to enjoy the newest model from my best friend

[arctic radish]

hOOOh boy I need some critical advice

So tl;dr In my game's first layer there's a giant citadel in the center of the map, right? well I'm not satisfied with how it looks anywhere in the map.
The whole gimmick of the layer is that there's a L A R G E hanging up side down city in the sky that all is attached to that singular citadel
The hanging city is viewable anywhere on the surface of the map (and so should the citadel).

My first instinct was "use layered images for the hanging City + Have some LoD models for the Citadel itself!"
But the more I try this method the harder it is to get it looking like it's anything but a low textured cylinder in the center of the map with an even lower textured dome for the hanging city itself.

I also tried to see if I could swing using chunks for the hanging city, but the performance loss even with it being just flat, one sided planes is too drastic

Here's the general mood board, I've written up some concepts of still shots as well but they're not what I'm currently going for atm

[spare scarab]

im no expert and im not sure i fully understand the context, but would a 3d projection of a skybox work in your case

[arctic radish]

I could but I'm not entirely sure that would be the best case, because Skyboxes are fickle to work with when talking about perspective

well Godot skyboxes are weird because they don't draw render passes (or rather they seemingly draw in a separate world space from the actual 3D space)

because things like fog, depth, and culling aren't rendered with/alongside it, it's stacked

Where HDRI/Skyboxes are first to render, then everything else renders after that (or sometimes with things like fog, fog just simply don't render when looking at the skybox/HDRI and will only render when on top of a solid mesh for whatever reason)

[spare scarab]

so you'd basically be seeing a sharp cut off from the fog into the skybox on the mesh horizon?

[arctic radish]

yes

[spare scarab]

shiet

[arctic radish]

I don't understand why

my only guess is that the post processing is inside the mesh renderer passes instead of the actual env passes

This is what I wanted concept wise

PoV: you have completed the tutorial

okay maybe this would be a better view because Grey on grey isn't exactly the clearest

[fickle zinc]

not very confident in this one

[spare scarab]

it's not awful but it definetly has problems

the mesh is a little messy on the sides and the front is visibly separate from the reciever

this just looks weird

the top

[arctic radish]

wew this was fun to texture

[merry lotus]

how the hell do you make custom textures

I have no idea

[arctic radish]

In blender

well
with the color quantization added in post with Paint.net

[pure jackal]

Cassy is talented af

Even though cass isn't using point filtering which is superior

[arctic radish]

wa

[pure jackal]

Closest filter is what its called in blender

[arctic radish]

I am using that

Or else it looks like

[pure jackal]

?

It looks blurry
Actually my bad that might just be the screenshot

[arctic radish]

this is with Smart filter enabled

[pure jackal]

Mostly here

[arctic radish]

oh no that's just the colors being weird

I condensed the colors down to 44 instead of my usual 32 because the loss of details was too great (mostly that faint pattern on the gold handles)

this is what that area looks like with closet filter on

[fast vault]

Crisp and delicious looking

[pure jackal]

ahhh

limited pallete

very good Cass

[cloud bloom]

Very nice work

[low thicket]

i chose to move the revolver reloading offscreen because animating all 6 bullets would take a lot of extra work, both for animation and programming, that's why the cod developers do it there as well

i can see what you mean though, and i'll say this: there's only so many ways to animate a person reloading weapons, and in particular black ops and the project these animations are for are both set in the mid-late 20th century, when reloading techniques weren't so tacticool

i just kinda figured "well how would i reload them?"

and idk, i played bo1 back in the day so i probably got inspiration from there

[cloud bloom]

How do I access an embedded resource thats loaded into memory? I'm trying to load an assetbundle that is an embedded resource in my mod, I cannot figure out how to actually access it using GetManifestResourceStream Or LoadFromMemory I think it might be a path issue?

[cloud bloom]

nvm i figured it out

[arctic radish]

So I now have a coherent timeline of when I started developing and planning my game series:
Garden (2019) > MaxSine/MaxSin (2019) > Collimax (2020) > Corner Light (2021)> Soul Spine (2022 > Dividend (2022)

Ah. I understand everything now

[arctic radish]

exactly

you understand so I did my job correctly

[spare scarab]

how did you make so many faces on such a simple shape

like, this thing quite literally consists of 3 cubes and 2 cylinders

it's not a lot comparative to a big model, but this could be done with like

half the faces

[fickle zinc]

was gonna do that until

Anyone knows how dusk/gloomwood makes sure your weapons do not clip through the walls? Is it just super tiny and close to the camera? Two cameras? Something else entirely?

[tranquil oracle]

Two cameras

[merry lotus]

one only renders the scene and the other only renders the weapons

[fickle zinc]

something is messing with the loop cuts and cant really find where it is its like a random vertice can some one find it

wait nvm

[spare scarab]

Before making a loop cut, really consider whether you need one

Or you'll end up with a lot more splits than you'd ever need

[fickle zinc]

how do you stop the camera from being stubborn when zooming in

[arctic radish]

Define what you mean by "Being stubborn"?

[fickle zinc]

when you zoom in too much starts to make it more difficult to zoom out and pan

I'm livid

so godot decided to fucking crash at the worst fucking time

[fickle zinc]

what language is it in

goddamn

that sucks

[arctic radish]

It does

it really really does

FUCKING

the backup was made BEFORE I coded the hand IK system for holding weapons

(before I just used an animation for the guns instead of having it dynamically change with IK)

[fickle zinc]

was this made in c#

[arctic radish]

no, GDscript

[azure flume]

manimal making a game that pyrocynical would review and people would base their personalities around for a month fr

[neat lava]

Well it is inspired by cry of fear which he reviewed

But I'm not making it for him. I just like cry of fear

Lol

[cunning wing]

is it going to be all in le mind

[neat lava]

No

Actually I guess answering that is technically a spoiler

Lol

How could I forget to post the man himself

[spare scarab]

Based cry of fear enjoyer

I hope to make a game inspired by it

[rotund garden]

my dude is creating the horror game I wanted to do, but my dumbass brain can't deal with programming lmao

[pure jackal]

reminds me of the model I made for that PT PSP remake thing that never got used

buppet combo

[neat lava]

Lol

[sudden imp]

😳

[neat lava]

Me neither lol

[rotund garden]

one day I'll go back to UE4 and keep going with the project

[long leaf]

the idea of an enemy which makes you kill yourself is pretty interesting

I kinda want that

[pure jackal]

receiver 2

[neat lava]

I wanted to do that but it didn't really fit the theme of the game unfortunately, also felt like it was too on the nose copying CoF

[arctic radish]

it also feels a bit cheesy

or rage inducing depending on the context

[neat lava]

Eh

Maybe

Will be Hype to see your work there 👌

[muted stirrup]

Thanks man, here's hoping its worth the wait 😄

[unique crag]

No no no you see this is simply a feature of the gun I think the gun looks amazing AMAZING!!! It is really good trust me its great i love this gun you should use it when you make your own game

[cloud bloom]

Anyone have a good solution for serializing/loading the fields of a custom script other than manually adding the component and setting the values individually?

[humble dagger]

Anyone else kinda burn out on dev

I'm taking a break from my project just because I can't get any more work done

[earnest lily]

that's the secret

the fuse is already burnt

🫂

I try and break it down into the smallest step possible

1 inch on your 10km march is better than sitting still

who knows, you could get the ball rolling downhill with that little ground

[arctic radish]

My game dev motivation is borderline reaching into the negatives

[neat lava]

What kind of game are u making

[arctic radish]

I want make my game, but god damn it takes ages to code weapons even if I were to make a base projectile.

FPS where you go fast, use fast to shatter time itself and use that shattered time as a projectile or weapon

My main issue is just make the weapons not conflict with the player controller

[pure jackal]

The thing that demotivates me the most about my dev is that I don't have the time I want to do jt

[neat lava]

Thx

[unborn island]

nice

[humble dagger]

my problem right now is I'm like 80% of the way there. Got weapons working, an inventory system, a system for equipping/dequipping items that have passive effects, enemies have an attack animation system, movement is solved, etc etc etc

[unborn island]

I want to learn from blendar

[humble dagger]

but now what's left is like 90% art, 10% just final touches things, adding locked doors, adding keys, adding usable items, etc etc

I can taste it I'm that close but I just cannot bring myself to go that extra step lmao

[arctic radish]

Well how many maps do you have, plus playtime, UX, and gameplay loop are all things that would be a good direction to dive into rn at your current stage of development

If you’re that far in

[spare scarab]

Doing 5 mins of work once a day is better than 0

It'll eventually get u there

That's how i do translation work

Its boring as fuck but taking a miniscule amount of time to sit down and work got me a ton of progress i wouldn't do otherwise

As long as it's a habit

Like what else would i be doing in those 5-15 mins? Watching youtuve vids?

[arctic radish]

How I usually do it is close the project file for like 3 days, watch some other game devs do their magic, maybe learn a thing or two about how others are doing game dev, and then flipping how others develop and think about game dev on it’s head and fuck around in my project

[humble dagger]

well to make a map I need enemies

[meager valve]

If I want to focus on something I usually turn on the music. For some reason it makes me less distracted, or at least it seems
