What's gimped about Silk.NET?
found that there's a LOT and I mean A L O T of documentation issues with Silk.net (aka there's essentially no docs for it for how they implemented a lot of the graphics APIs)
However I did try TerraFX, seems nicer in that regard
So Silk.net is p much just "Fuck around and find out"
tranquil oracle
The graphics APIs should map pretty closely to the real native APIs, just with some C# conveniences on top
So any documentation for the original APIs should apply
arctic radish
fucking hell why is Vulkan so tedious to code just to make a simple triangle?
I swear if Vulkan wasn't such a "You want to utilize basic functions of the API? Code it yourself. All 2000+ lines of code."

Are you attempting to make procedural leg animations?
arctic radish
Ye
I mean I technically already did
just trying to tweak the actual motion and stuff
azure flume
I'd let the legs bend more and take longer steps
arctic radish
ya see, unlike 3D where I could actually physically code the lifting and step overshoot with the velocity in mind, I can't really do that here
because if you want to get technical, the leg has a target "Goal" (for most procedural animations)
However the difference is that in 3D, that target can be anywhere in a 3d world space, and the stepping would account for that by physically lifting the leg on the Y axis and adjusting the X/Z position to reach the goal without interfering with the Y position.
However in 2D, you can't really track the "goal" position without accommodating for only 2 axis.
An example: If you were to say "okay if the left leg is [x] distance away from the body/goal" and you wanted to track to a new goal that's "ahead" or > the goal in a particular direction. You can't just lift the leg on the Y axis, because if the "Goal" position is above the leg on the Y axis, all that'd happen is the leg would lift, and then immediately stop, making it look like it just slid into place due to the leg physically reaching it's goal on the Y axis before stepping down.
now, if it were a 2.5D or 2D sidescroller game, that's usually fine, because you're only tracking on 1 axis (usually the X)

I got super confused about the question, but here it is: there is a nodraw texture in HL2 (the yellow texture on the roof), which doesn't render in game. Apparently there was no direct equivalent for HL1, with the exception of Null texture from plugins. Anyway, nodraw/null still create visleafs which is why I had to use skybox to block the roof

silly question
let's say that you're making a game in Unity, and inside of that there's a secret minigame that you can open from the original one
can something like that be programmed in unity?
like it opens a whole ass different project
is something like that possible?
also, something like that is possible if that other game is done in a completely different engine?
Like it opens a minigame done on UE4 or Godot, for example

Glittermitten Grove is probably the most famous example of that being done in unity
not just a secret minigame, a completely full standalone game hidden in it

The second question is a bit more problematic, it would have to either launch a separate .exe or emulate an operating system capable of running said .exe?
dunno, im sure there are better ways to do it i guess

well if your trying to run a game inside a game using exes that sounds complicated and probably not even possible

if its just a simple minigame, just port it over

but using unity to open an exe file made in godot or unreal should be easy
unless unity doesn't support launching things

launch things to your heart's content
assuming by exe you literally mean a windows pe file, this'll only work on... windows

Today I've started on a system where Server hosts are able to create, publish, and share "rule sets" which are text files that contain all the information about how a game is run like Default Player Health, Gravity Strength, Number of Rounds, Respawn Time, and basically any other game rule, modifier, or player property, then uses that to control how a game runs. If you like a rule set on a certain server, you can request the rule set and get it sent to you so you can use it on your own server.
real pawn
are all these values handled server-side or do you trust the client to abide by these rules?
crimson tapir
All server side, some values it will have to send to the clients, but all movement, respawning, etc. is handled by the server. If the player tries hacking and changing the values on their side it will jus make the game unplayable and glitchy for them
Like if you try to increase your speed or jump height on the client side you just get rubber banded around as the server keeps pulling you back to where you're supposed to be and it makes the game basically unplayable for the cheater

i realized that the old cultist logo didn't make any sense so i changed it to an eyeball
for the cultist i wanna have it be like dusk where when they see you they shout random voice lines
anybody got any ideas
crimson tapir
What do they worship, or what are their goals? It would make most sense to be something related to that
merry lotus
so basically the story of the cultists is that they escaped the dystopian city that runs on blood (that the second third of the game takes place in) and their goal is just to take down the city despite the fact that it's like a couple hundred people versus a fucking living city
and they believe that there's some kind of god out there that'll help them in their plight
haven't decided on the name of the god yet
might choose some character from lovecraft
crimson tapir
How is the player character related to them? Is he a defender of the living city, or like a defector of the cult or something?
merry lotus
the player was almost killed in a car crash while trying to escape from the city and then (spoilers for the story)
||he gets greeted by a mysterious man (just his silhouette) who doesn't move like a normal person, the man puts out his hand (like he wants to help you get up) but when you grab his hand, you start turning into a zombie
the only way to regain your humanity is to collect blood to fuel your car, and after getting enough blood, you'll regain your humanity, which is why the player wants to gain control of the city's blood stream||
so in short yeah they don't have any relation
crimson tapir
||Well then maybe his conflict with the cultists could stem from them believing the deal he struck with the silhouette is blasphemous in some way, and what he's doing somehow angers their God, so they would say something like "blasphemer", "blood thief", "abomination"||

I was able to fake momentum movement with the character controller by tracking the movement velocity of the player when grounded and keeping it (while gradually decreasing magnitude) while not grounded. I also reduced the magnitude of movement that the player can apply when not grounded.

Implementing the rule sets, fixin some bugs, optimizing server client communication by cutting down on total data sent back and forth, the usual stuff, but here's an idea I though of. So one thing that annoys me in multiplayer games is when you join a server expecting to just chill, and the server is full of sweats or you want to try hard, but the server is full of friendlies, so an idea I thought of is a "server temperament" selection where it says outright what the server will be like, and it's themed after ski difficulty symbols.
Green for chill (24/7 endless rounds no win condition), blue for casual (just the normal game), black for competitive (sweaty time), and orange for crazy (wacky custom maps or rule sets)
So that way the player always knows what a server will be like before joining
merry lotus
gonna try implementing motorcycles today
but i don't know how to actually implement them
should i make it so that it's a boolean on the player controller or should i have an entirely different character controller for ridable objects
tranquil oracle
Have a different controller that is part of the object itself, and you just attach the player to it when the player rides the vehicle
Otherwise you'll end up special casing every vehicle in your player controller, which gets unwieldy fast
