are you fucking kidding me

why do I only find out about this now

[hazy sky]

i knew SOME of these

so it was news to me as well

[stiff thorn]

💀

[uncut agate]

i have an idea
but its been done twice
i render the rooms in blender and dither them
i got nothing to make it look... unique? it does a bit right now but i feel it could use more

gotta admit, the mix between dithered clay and drawn graphics made hylics GREAT

and Masons designs added to the weirdness

Game From Scratch (@gamefromscratch)

Unity have just released a controversial Unity Hub upgrade... You can no longer create non-Cloud projects!

We discuss what exactly this means and how you can work around it.

unitycels........

[waxen plover]

me when i finish my game and try to release it but it's already published by another person that hacked into my account

yeah i'll just finish the projects i have already started and switch to godot

unity can kiss my ass

[uncut agate]

thank god i quit unity and went to godot
even though im doing rpg maker rn

[dusky pivot]

Are you serious? ._.

That is awful man I am really sorry to hear that, how can that even happen

[waxen plover]

no no it didn't happen

[dusky pivot]

OH

[waxen plover]

i was making a joke about how that could probably be possible

[dusky pivot]

I sI did not pay attention to literally the previous message

[waxen plover]

all good

[dusky pivot]

Is this retroactive?

My ass aint upgrading unity hub

[thick kite]

can somebody give me the rundown on how to prepare gloomwood for modding? i can't find much on extracting its files and all

i wanted to see what could be done about giving ammo types to the revolver (snakeshot, just for the funny)

[thick kite]

nvm i got that nailed down

[mental marsh]

@clear lodge

@clear lodge

Damn he won’t answer

[thick kite]

now that i'm done with that can somebody point me to where the code for the ammo boxes is so i can edit it

first i wanted to try making the revolver round box stack to 12 instead of 10, just for funsies

[hazy sky]

God damn it man

People kept saying "but they rerolled the pay per install fee, they're not like that OK?????????' and I said they'll keep staying shitty and nobody believed me

if it happened once, it can happen over and over

[sharp vortex]

I mean, it's really just a "default" thing now. You can delete the cloud connectivity and they're adding ability to delete it from the dashboard too. It's a bit of a hassle but not end of the world shit

And not nearly as bad as the fee stuff

[spare scarab]

right at the start it says you can just remove the cloud upon creating your project

i also just created a new unity project and i didnt even have a cloud option, it was disconnected by default

[muted stirrup]

been making some lighting tweaks here 👀

[dusky pivot]

stuff :3

[hazy sky]

add the quake light flicker method

[waxen plover]

the fella

[limber bramble]

This guy rules

[dusky pivot]

I learnt coding and made a pause menu

[hazy sky]

looks very comfy man

[dusky pivot]

Thanks man

Im trying to make a shader for the bg texture but I have no idea about how to make the scroll timer use unscaled delta time

[rugged forum]

average timing for you gremlins that only know 1s and 0z (its okay I like frogs)

[dusky pivot]

what

[topaz sluice]

hi chat

[topaz sluice]

waoh dante ??

[hazy sky]

what bg texture?

[dusky pivot]

Just some images that are in the pause menu

They are using a shader graph material

[hazy sky]

is that like visual shader?

where you connect nodes?

[dusky pivot]

Yes

I made a variable in there, a float timer for the time node

And in a script Im making this value equal to time.unscaledDeltatime

its somewhat working but for some reason its like, stuck in 0.004 and 0.003

Super strange

[hazy sky]

i hope you understand that deltatime is the time between each frame

it's not TIME, it will return the time between each frame

or at least i think that's why it can be stuck between those numbers

[dusky pivot]

Oh

[hazy sky]

can you check by capping the frames at 30 for example?

[dusky pivot]

Well, it shouldnt matter

unscaledDeltaTime should be fine, no?

[hazy sky]

not sure how it works in unity's pipeline

you want to scroll a texture across the screen right?

[dusky pivot]

Yeah, while "deltaTime" is frozen

Because I freeze it during pause

well I switched over unscaledTime and it works now

I just really though unscaledDeltaTime would work too lol

[hazy sky]

i mean, it works at least now

[dusky pivot]

However this time value is just gonna increase forever so

[hazy sky]

but why not use a simple time node?

or do you want to keep track of the time or what?

[dusky pivot]

wdym "simple time" is a thing appart from "time"

?

[hazy sky]

time node

you can add it to UV coordinates

[dusky pivot]

I know what the time node is

[hazy sky]

or however they are called

[dusky pivot]

Ok, thats what I am doing

But when I freeze the game, time node freezes too

[hazy sky]

then i don't really understand why you're keeping time

oh

that's interesting

[dusky pivot]

Yeah, what I do is change Timescale or whatever is called to 0 on pause

[hazy sky]

discussions.unity.com/t/unscaled-time-node-in-a-shader-graph/1501157/2

huh

why doesn't it embed

anyways the dude also did the same as you i think

[dusky pivot]

ye, I just had to use Time.unscaledTime instead

[hazy sky]

nice

from what i gather, the only reason i didn't run into this issue in godot is because time is unaffected by timescale in shaders

[dusky pivot]

prob

Now I gotta figure out how to make the time value not increase infinitely

[dusky pivot]

It might be a bit difficult to see but yay

It works, it just adds some goo to the pause stuff

evil guy

[waxen plover]

so evil mhuah

[sharp vortex]

@hazy sky fuck it godot time

[hazy sky]

what convinced you to switch

[sharp vortex]

Friend wants to make a small fun game together and was interested in it, so we watched some vids on it and I played around with it and discovered a lot of cool stuff

The lighting and ease of using nodes vs unity components convinced me i'm also probably going to convert my kings field game to it as well

[hazy sky]

hell yea

hmu if you get stuck on specifics and we'll see if i can help with it, after 4 game prototypes and one sorta complete game I have some experience with godot

[hazy sky]

but in my experience it's a very nice and easy engine to use with lots of potential and fast iteration speed, etc

and it's very capable as well, just not for AAA at all

[sharp vortex]

Yeah after seeing a lot of the shortcuts and QOL I was like "oh fuck"

[hazy sky]

but I can easily see AA games developed with this

[hazy sky]

so you finally understand what I said back then,,,,,

[night ridge]

i get headpain when i use godot

[sharp vortex]

Yeah but I was comfy with Unity (in terms of having made a bunch of random crap in it so knowing how to navigate it)

and no motivation to actually look further into godot

[hazy sky]

yea it's always the case, you're always gonna use the one tool you're most comfortable with so it's understandable

[sharp vortex]

but now that I have motivation i have seen that it's cool and good enough for what I want to do

[night ridge]

how can you use godot, what is the trick?

[hazy sky]

idk it's pretty easy

[sharp vortex]

the trick is downloading it and opening it

[hazy sky]

self explanatory

[night ridge]

I couldnt add a script in godot, so hard was it for me

[hazy sky]

what the fuck

you right click a node and press attach script

[sharp vortex]

Watch these in this order

https://youtu.be/ke5KpqcoiIU

https://youtu.be/e1zJS31tr88

[hazy sky]

if you think adding a script is hard then you also have difficulties navigating windows

[night ridge]

[sharp vortex]

First one goes over the idea of how the editor works, the second one goes into the scripting

and then he has a bunch of sub links in the description for more detailed stuff

[night ridge]

No it was just using godot was much different than unity or unreal engine

[sharp vortex]

Godot actually isn't that much different from Unity, but you have to look at it slightly different

[hazy sky]

i actually hear it the other way around, people always say how similar it is to unity and being easier

[sharp vortex]

It looked different when I tried it without reading or watching any tutorials, but definitely give those a watch

[night ridge]

I dunno. Maybe my code just sucks or something. Becouse nothing worked in godot

[sharp vortex]

Well also make sure you're defining whether you're scripting in GDScript or C#

[hazy sky]

also godot literally holds your hand with the script

[night ridge]

i can script in c#?

[sharp vortex]

Yeah

[hazy sky]

yea

[night ridge]

[hazy sky]

you just download the mono version

[night ridge]

Maybe i use c#

[hazy sky]

do so

[night ridge]

Well i will see then maybe i switch to godot

[sharp vortex]

Just watch those videos first tbh

[night ridge]

ight

[sharp vortex]

GDScript aint that hard to use now that I've seen it's syntax

I'm prolly just gonna use that

[night ridge]

i just like the csharp syntax more tbh

[sharp vortex]

I use it for everything (work, etc.) so I get it, and maybe I'll switch back and forth

that's also something cool I found, you can use both

[night ridge]

thats very interesting

[hazy sky]

good thing is you're not limited to either of the languages

[sharp vortex]

So on this project I'm doing with my friend I can use C# and he can do GDScript if he wants and it'll work

[hazy sky]

you can write your big systems in c# for efficiency and use gdscript for smaller stuff

or you can not even use gdscript at all if you don't wanna

[night ridge]

i think i stick to c#

[hazy sky]

gdscript is so easy though, I literally never learned any languages before so technically it's my first

and I pulled off some really cool stuff with it

but yea its entirely up to you what to use

[night ridge]

its like python i heared

[sharp vortex]

yeah pretty damn close

[hazy sky]

very pythonic yes

[sharp vortex]

its like python-lua

[night ridge]

thats what make my head pain, i dont like the python syntax

[hazy sky]

so pythonic in fact that I could write a whole ass discord moderator bot using python while never learning python whatsoever

I only had to look up some other syntax that differs in Godot

[sharp vortex]

In a sense (more specifically to GDScript), it can essentially work like C# without static types or brackets -- thats it

you can even add types if you're inclined

you just dont HAVE to

[night ridge]

i better switch to c#, i guess

but thank you guys for youre help

[sharp vortex]

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.4/tutorials/scripting/c_sharp/c_sharp_basics.html

This will tell you how to enable it and whatnot

[hazy sky]

types?

[sharp vortex]

and anything else you might need

yeah data types

Int, String, Float, Bool

[hazy sky]

is it like static typing or whatever it's called

[sharp vortex]

Yes thats what I said lol

[night ridge]

no imma head out

[sharp vortex]

so you can do like

var health : int = 0
(or however it's done) to force the health var to only accept integers

[hazy sky]

oh yeah

[sharp vortex]

assigning a float value like 0.6 to it would force it then to 60

[hazy sky]

we love that here

if you utilize that correctly, it can make a big difference

[sharp vortex]

Cool and good way to convert to percentages very quickly

[hazy sky]

there is a good video about it on YouTube where a guy checks how much faster his game logic is after static typing and it's like a 34% increase in speed

[hazy sky]

did you know about the match operator

you can have the function accept arguments, and you can use match to match up the action

[sharp vortex]

switch statement yeah

[hazy sky]

what

[sharp vortex]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_statement

It's just this

I don't use them a whole lot in my daily life, usually prefer to do if-elseif-else

[hazy sky]

depends

I think the match statement looks cleaner, more readable if you have to match like strings

you can do a lot of good stuff with it

[tranquil oracle]

wat, wouldn't it be zero? Why 60?

float -> int just truncates the fractional part

[hazy sky]

it would be percentage : float = 0.6 and then do percentage * 100

and clamp the float between 1 and 0 if 100% is the max

[sharp vortex]

Not in GDScript for some reason

[tranquil oracle]

That's genuinely fucked

If that's true I take that language even less seriously lmao

The documentation states:

Likewise, floats can be automatically converted into ints. This will truncate the float, discarding anything after the floating-point.

[sharp vortex]

I'll have to go check what he did again

Maybe I'm just smoking crack we'll see

Oh yep, my ass just wasn't paying attention I guess

[tranquil oracle]

That's a relief because treating float->int as a percentage conversion automatically would be crazy lol

[hazy sky]

int(float*100) could work

[sharp vortex]

Yeah I either straight up had some kind of brain-skip or was talking about something while he was showing him writing out his float-int conversion lol

My friend must have thought I was some kind of dumbass when I said "oh that's a weird kind of cool way to do that"

because it was just normal float to int conversion lol

[toxic hemlock]

yandere simulator moment

[sharp vortex]

the use of an if-else statement was not the problem in the massive if-else statement issue he created lol

[toxic hemlock]

yeah yeah call me when u learn to force cosmic rays to change no-ops into branch instructions at runtime casual 💅

[stiff thorn]

what is this disrespect for switch statements

[toxic hemlock]

nintendo can remotely brick ur program if u try to use them

chill bruv this channel is not that popular and unless you ping someone, chances are people won't see

[night ridge]

I See, like #dusk-duskworld-dungeonsofdusk or other channels

[hazy sky]

pretty much so

there are active times though

[hazy sky]

we are so back though

got a sudden burst of energy for development finally

making plans for a first start short level that shows you the basics to the game

story-wise it would follow the founder of the legion trying to gather evidence of the germans faking the polish aggression and it could have two or three possible outcomes (all which have no real bearing because this is a prequel mission that leads up to the main events of WW2)

and it could either be a one mission thing, or an entire chapter actually

but it would be more of a world builder/immersive thing than shooty shooty bang bang by letting the player take in the world before the whole war

then for the mission outro, i would make a cool narration with some old film footage style cutscene saying how despite the efforts of the french photographer, the EU did not believe the evidence in the end, which in turn allows the german to occupy warsaw

and then title drop

@pure jackal how does that sound

sort of like the allied assault levels where you don't actually kill anyone for a good while but just play along https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I4FkZ8euxuk

thats a very unfortunate thumbnail

[pure jackal]

Fun level idea but uh the EU didn't exist back then iirc and though it does harken to that AA mission, I feel like it'd be best to have a more standard mission as the first thing the player gets, especially since legion is expected to be a MoH PSX successor

[hazy sky]

fuck

i wanted a quick build up to the ww2 part though

to show a little glimpse of the vintage era before wartime

like chapter 0, 10 minutes tops

[pure jackal]

If it is the tutorial, maybe have it really go off the rails after the first few actions are taught

[hazy sky]

you are a french photographer in poland, trying to disprove german claims and deflect inevitable war with german troops posing as poland forces. of course there would be SOME action

[pure jackal]

(Move and look, change weapons from nothing to your fake papers, interact with some guard, find some airduct or something, interact with it, have the player crouch through to try and sneak in and then get caught on the other side)

[hazy sky]

after the first mission from chapter 0, the player would be then booted into the main menu

but yea

okay so

[pure jackal]

Copy all of this in a document somewhere, get the gameloop fully in at its most basic and revisit these once you have the full toybox to work with

[hazy sky]

i'm asking if this is a thing worth investing time into because i like how it sounds

anyways imma delete because obviously its three walls of text

it holds your hands basically

[waxen plover]

you could use this to make a base you could then draw on

but I think this is pretty handy because it gives you consistent results

lol I just UV'd em as if they werent arched

[pure jackal]

Which can lead to a little bit of UV pinching but the arch is shallow enough that it seems fine

[waxen plover]

I mean it's not hard, just make a boolean of chasing the player, if its true chase the player, if not wabder around or smth

If you want more complicated stuff use an enum for different states

Or an int and keeo track of what each number means

[hazy sky]

mmmm delightful

you know you have to rewrite the player code when there's over 22 booleans in it

to be fair the player has 792 lines of code

Reckon you could unpack it yourself and find it https://www.moddb.com/games/stalker-call-of-pripyat/addons/stalker-database-unpacker-v12

[thick kite]

i'm too lazy to reinstall stalker maaan

[sharp vortex]

It's like 3gb

[thick kite]

counterpoint i'm lazy

also the last time i replayed call of pripyat that shit was haunted

[pure jackal]

Counterpoint- its 3gb and literally like 5 clicks maximum to reinstall it

[hazy sky]

made some great debugging tools that allow me to draw lines, boxes or spheres anywhere, also display text anywhere with formatting!!!!!!

so i can use these to debug the guns for example

[hazy sky]

i could also log every action into a dict and then draw them from memory

[waxen plover]

yeah but you'll know the states

you could make a chain of different actions, multiple like 50+

sighing, walking, looking around and such

and it randomly chooses 5 different actions to do at once which would look like new behavior

but then it might just look weird

[thick kite]

counterpoint it's one .ogg file i'm looking for

also, 4 clicks, steam, call of pripyat, install, confirm

5 if you have to click on the library

[hazy sky]

so clean

[chilly trout]

okay so im trying to make a simple model swap mod for the latest fnaf game SOTM. an Unreal Engine 4 game. however no matter what i do or what tutorials i follow the result always stays the same, the mod just dosnt do anything. all the directories are correct and all the textures and materials and everything is there and spelled correctly. but the .pak file just dosnt do anything when put into the paks folder.. If anyone knows anything about UE4 modding i would greatly appreciate the help cause I'm definitely missing an important step.

[dusky pivot]

Made a rather basic debuff system

[jolly sandal]

bottom left is giving

[hazy sky]

made a lot of progress on multiplayer, i can now host games and connect
the host and client shares the same player for now, but this took ALL day to figure out properly

[hazy sky]

what is this tho, same project?

[hazy sky]

well not all day, but like 5 hours

replication works and managed to cram in reconcilation and predictions

[dusky pivot]

Ye

Kinda just figuring out balance for enemies and stuff like that

[hazy sky]

implemented state machines

[polar jasper]

another thing

[dusky pivot]

Animated health bar

[hazy sky]

you do some good scenery

today i had a cleanup day

resized ALL of the models because they were all over the place in regards of size

there were instances where the suppressor was twice the size of the gun and shit so i went back and painstakingly resized everything and cleaned up some code so the weapons now have preset spots per weapon type with overrides if needed

and modelled like 7 types of common shell casings so the guns can eject more intelligently on a gun-to-gun basis

beautiful,,,,

oh also added a default gun with an orange tip

mainly for attachment testing

[dusky pivot]

Hey thanks! Tho I struggle a lot with pretty much everything else

[merry lotus]

more state machine stuff

[pure jackal]

[polar jasper]

switch to new input system as soon as possible trust me

[merry lotus]

this is a custom engine

Sounds so complicated to do

Id love to try one day

[tranquil oracle]

[dusky pivot]

Been working on this today

visuals manager for health

Heart rate goes faster the lower hp gets, when debuffs are applied heart shakes too (depending on the debuff) as well as some cool visuals

[sharp vortex]

found this really cool GodotVMF plugin that lets you import Hammer (Source Engine) VMF files along with the VTF/VMT texture files very smoothly/easily

Was initially trying func_godot with J.A.C.K. but this was like, insanely easier to set up

its so insanely nice and great for fast iteration

[earnest lily]

how does this handle the geometry? is this one giant 3d model?

[sharp vortex]

Yes pretty much

IF need be there are pretty simple solutions to split this into chunks

Hammer has the cordon tool where you can section off pieces of map (or you can do it manually), and then you can just create new VMF nodes and add those cordoned pieces separately

shit you could even do visgroups in hammer and set groups then save and load different versions of the map

it also detects "nodraw" texture faces too, so you can tell it to just not create geometry for certain faces

[pale raft]

What is teeth boy’s purpose and his extremely deep and in-depth backstory

[slate python]

This teeth boy doesn't have a name, at least one that I'm aware of. It is a Kinetic Sculpture/Automaton made by Roger Ruskin Spear, an English musician/sculptor.
The main purpose of the machinery is for entertainment. It was mostly used on the shows of the band Roger was a part of, "Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band" or Bonzo Dog Band for short. It played a prominent role in one of the band's "Kinetic Sketches", where it moved its mouth along with the song "Forever Blowing Bubbles" performed by the band, while another robot beside it blowed said bubbles.
All of Spear's machines were very faulty and were prone to break after or even during the shows, forcing the musician to either fix them on the fly or improvise something if he weren't able to patch it up.
After the disbandment of the musical group, Roger showcased his machines at various shows and tours, his most know tour was known as "Roger Ruskin Spear and his Giant Kinetic Wardrobe".
Ruskin Spear has also appeared on national television. On 7th of April 1973, on BBC the sculptor showcased some of his newest inventions, most prominent of which were "very boring" and "The Pointless Game".

It is unknown if the teeth boy has made any sort of recent appearance due to Roger being 81 years old and diffcult to contact.

I mean I could try.

[sharp vortex]

Man hooking up animation state machine shit and collisions is way fucking easier in Godot than Unity lmao @hazy sky

only complaint is that setting keyframes for objects to tie with animations is really wonky, and the fact it needs key frames for movement at all

Unity lets me just tie the collider to the armature and it will just move with the anim

[hazy sky]

yea its not too complicated luckily

y'all wonder how i iterate and progress so fucking fast, this is why

godot makes it so easy

[hazy sky]

mmmmmmmmmmmmm you have bones for the sword?

[sharp vortex]

I've nearly gotten to the functionality of my Unity version within hours and it's all more polished already just by way of not feeling hacky

yeah

[hazy sky]

you could make the collision and attach it to the bone using a BoneAttachment3D

that way it will follow the sword if that's what you want

[sharp vortex]

oh didnt know that was a thing

[hazy sky]

yeah

[sharp vortex]

ill try that later today

thats p much what i was looking for

[hazy sky]

you basically pop it in, i don't even think it needs to be part of the skeleton system, you can just select external, pick the skeleton and then the bone to attach to

[sharp vortex]

though I already set up a keyframe thing so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hazy sky]

one thing to look out for, use a Node3D as a parent for the collision

that way you can adjust the collision inside of it and the Node3D will act like the pivot point

[sharp vortex]

already do, we're good

[hazy sky]

GO GO GO!!!!! HIT THE TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can just hear the F.N.G announcer

[sharp vortex]

v slick

Something really cool in general is that Godot feels friendly to use enough that I'm not feeling existential dread to open it like Unity

[hazy sky]

y'all laughed at me when i said this,,,,,,

[sharp vortex]

hard to teach an old dog new tricks!!

unless the dog finally notices the cool QoL stuff he's been missing

Like just being able to drag shit from the inspector, scene, or asset menu to reference in your script

or how quick it is to do a Signal

[hazy sky]

yeah

and the fact you can do it from code or the inspector

[stiff thorn]

so true

when motivation strikes, I know godot's 5s load time got me 🗣️

[hazy sky]

mmmmm bullet penetration,,,

heh

redder the line, the lower the power

[pure jackal]

Ok now give us wiimote aiming >:]

[hazy sky]

funnily enough I could do that here as well. also, the good thing in this project is that I can backport everything into Legion because this time around things are competently written and handled

[pure jackal]

Do it then >:]

[hazy sky]

we'll see

[pure jackal]

[wicked lake]

Very basic and EXTREMELY WIP gameplay prototype footage, only 4 enemies, 3 weapons (one I forgot to show) and some barrels

Also the beams from the green enemy kind work like a reverse of Ultrakill's idol forcing you to kill all enemies in a room before killing the green one

[hazy sky]

bro says "only 4 enemies" homie that's 4 more than i could ever create 🥀

looking pretty good though

is it like, ultrakill inspired

[wicked lake]

You wouldn't be wrong but I don't want to lean too hard into being an Ultra-like, I wouldn't be making this if I never played Ultrakill, I am inspired by it but I also would like to try some other things that I would like to see in a game

In a sense, I am making a game I want to play (for me and others)

Kinda want to think more about worldbuilding and a diverse arsenal with a high skill ceiling overall

[wicked lake]

My advice for mass-producing enemies anyway is to have a base system/class/script for enemies that you can use for each enemies and extend that with other scripts

In godot, It would be easy to do that by just making a custom node, but I wouldn't know how to do it in other game engines

[hazy sky]

very good approach, i do the same thing as well because why would anyone in their right mind develop something they would never play

(yes i know CEO's and shareholders exist)

right now i'm trying to figure out how to make physical magazines for guns exist

like not "eject mag particle" but here's this magazine, it's loaded, use the ammo from it or get fucked

and when you reload, you drop the mag with the bullets in it which you can pick up later

[wicked lake]

Interesting mechanic!

[hazy sky]

escape from tarkov does this, you have magazines as items you pick up

you basically swap them when reloading, and if you double tap reload, it will ditch the magazine to the floor

gonna do this as well, except i won't have a visible inventory

as a matter of fact, UI will be very limited as well

[opaque pier]

have you tried the lightning preset? That one is so sick

[hazy sky]

does gloomwood use like a different type of lighting or something

[rose sandal]

yooo nice

[merry lotus]

they use a package that adds dynamic baked lighting

so if a baked light is dynamic you can adjust the brightness during runtime, add effects like water shimmering, and even more complex things like disco balls

there's also a volumetric lighting post processing effect included

but I don't think gloomwood uses that

[hazy sky]

damn

[hazy sky]

absolutely lidar'd

that's 14216 objects

(it's not meant for lidar but it's a funny experiment regardless

[dusky pivot]

Still a prototype

But I made a weapon with a moveset

I also added buffer frames too

this simple thing made me crashout so hard yesterday

first my skeleton was somehow backwards, causing the look_at( ) and anything else to do with rotation/position on it to be fucked, and then I had to get a fucking ball to move

[hazy sky]

helf

[stiff thorn]

getting a ball to move

truly terrifying

[hazy sky]

i am going insane why isn't this working

it only subtracts the holes if you start from the sides

[rotund garden]

I'll give UE5 and it's blueprints another go

[hazy sky]

bro,,

want me to whip a controller up for you or what

[rotund garden]

nah I just though it was funny how I tried to give it a go but it all sounded like gibberish to me

[polar jasper]

i personally wouldn't use UE5

[hazy sky]

me neither tbh

all that unnecessary overhead engine-wise, even if you turn half the shit off

if I HAD to use UE, I'd go for UE4 probably

[dusky pivot]

Weapon can interact with enviorment now + some cool details and new features :3c

[oak zodiac]

so incredibly stoked about this mod, been playing it non stop, one of my fav doom mods ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENaPWClQek4

honestly the state of modern game engines kinda sucks ass
you have UE5 with its shitty noisy lighting™ and also apparently having really really strange everythings
you have Unity being half-assed to the point of being comedic

godot is good i think

[sharp vortex]

holy fuck no way @hazy sky

Map editing with Godot

[polar jasper]

battlefield 6 in godot?

[sharp vortex]

No they just made their Portal editor with it

seems like we'll be able to make our own maps, or at least have much greater "Halo Forge"-like controls

[hazy sky]

wonder if we'll get this GDExtension

but with the TSCN file format being so readable, I don't really blame them for going this route

I really hope BF6's godot usage will get more people into godot 👀

[hazy sky]

godot is good, but I couldn't expect AAA games to come out of it, AA easily though

[stiff thorn]

AAA games would only happen for more side case uses (battlefield 6) or as a baseline that they would modify into an almost new engine

[hazy sky]

not giving up,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[hazy sky]

added some checks so semi-auto guns don't feel like fucking shit, basically you can queue a shot right after the other and it will fire after that so you can hit the full RPM more easily

Making something for the GMTK jam

[hazy sky]

peak dropped again

what's the meaning of the clock

does the game kill you if you are in the red when the timer runs out?

[desert shard]

Actually, you control the lightning attack

And when you do that attack, whatever is in the red ( including you ) gets one-shotted

Also if the clock becomes fully red then yes, you also get one shotted

[hazy sky]

do you also turn the clock back?

[desert shard]

yup

[feral ermine]

nice
I've been a little out of the loop from crunching
Managed to release my thing on Itch right as all of the chaos started, I couldnt have better timing :D

[dusky pivot]

Yeah lol xD

I usually dont feel like I crunch time a lot

Mostly, some days I work 2h or maybe 30min, some days its 9h

But it never feels like Im pushing myself I kinda just go with whatever I feel that day

It helps a lot to not burn myself down

[feral ermine]

Thats a good way to do it
I'd been working on this very on and off, but it was reaching a point where I really needed to get it finished so in came the crunch

[dusky pivot]

Thats fair

Sometimes pushing yourself a bit is not bad, I think crunch is a problem when it becomes a habit

as most things in life

[feral ermine]

I'll be sleeping like a brick for a while, thats for sure :D

[dusky pivot]

Well deserved rest, congrats on the release ❤️

[feral ermine]

Thanks!
Looking forwards to being able to try Laguna

[dusky pivot]

Its gonna take a while!

Tho I learnt code, still learning and Im more of a begginer than anything

But this has speeded up the project by a million percent lol

[feral ermine]

Thats good!
This has been my first time actually programming a game rather than some isolated tidbit
Aside from UE documentation or lack of it killing me, its a lot easier for me to track than node spaghetti

[dusky pivot]

Are you referring to godot?

Or unity

[feral ermine]

oh I'm working with unreal since C++ is what I knew

[dusky pivot]

Also here are some advancements, I made lootpools, objects also have custom features that you can just drag and drop to make them spawn smoothly with random rotations

(by pure odds, that fishing rod spawned perfectly vertical LOL)

[dusky pivot]

Ah I see

[feral ermine]

Looks fancy!

I created a minimalist game engine in C using raylib. It's still in alpha and I'm still testing out what it can do, but so far, it's working pretty well. If anyone's looking to hire an engine dev, I'm available!
Here's the repo: https://github.com/8bitprodigy/kolibri_engine
Also attached is a video of the example "game" running. Not much to show yet, but the skybox and resizeable viewport are both implemented via callbacks in the game code, not as part of the engine. Also each of the boxes is a separate entity, and the color changing is showing off the LOD system. The scene is also frustum culled.

[waxen plover]

ignore the lag, pc is acting up

oh this is gorgeous

[waxen plover]

lovely indeed

[dusky pivot]

Thanks ❤️

[merry lotus]

had an idea that would be a major change to dead end's gameplay but it would make level design a lot easier and would make it a lot more interesting imo

old way: killing enemies and collecting their blood to fuel your car, and once you hit the cap you can return to your car to go to the next level

new way: your car can't progress somehow (ex: running out of fuel, gate in the way, car gets taken) and you have to resolve it before you can drive to the next level, making enemies more like obstacles instead of critical to the gameplay

i'm a bigger fan of the new way but i want to know what other people think

[jolly sandal]

i honestly think both could work in terms of pacing it well because if you have these unique scenarios one after another they begin to feel less special i'd imagine

new way all the time would certainly make a gameplay loop feel more varied and unique but eventually you'd either have to start repeating things or just coming up with some ridiculous idea

still up to you though obviously your game at the end of the day it just ultimately comes down to your vision for the pace and stuff

what is this

[fleet fulcrum]

You could create a DooM engine-like engine using it. In fact, I plan on creating a scene system that uses a DooM/Build engine-like level format. Also working on modifying the renderer to support automatically sorting transparent renderable items so billboards can be used.

[supple fossil]

[ivory oar]

Check my bio (not a scam I swear to God)

[hazy sky]

what do I check on it

[slate python]

Is this the new TempleOS?

[ivory oar]

No

[oak zodiac]

whoa! supporting doom / build engine format would be amazing! currently there's something called raze which is like gzdoom for the build engine, it's so nice I replayed the holy trinity on it already (duke, sw, and blood)

[fleet fulcrum]

Well, I wasn't talking about supporting their level formats directly, but that should be possible with its scene interface. This is actually a very minimalist engine, so very little is actually built into it -- a main loop and management, a simple entity system with entities stored in a circularly linked list, a collision system, a renderer, and the "Head" -- a type which couples a camera with a render texture. All these systems are managed b the gamedev using callbacks to define their behaviors. So there is not actual level format the game engine will support directly, rather, you should be able to support any format through dependency injection, using callbacks, and the engine coordinates all these systems together.

[oak zodiac]

really wish you could spend time improving gzdoom instead lol but that's just my thoughts

because there's so much work left to be done and so many people could benefit from it 🙂

[fleet fulcrum]

GZDooM is GPL, tho. So by being able to release my engine as public domain/0BSD, even more people can benefit from it.

So by being able to release my engine as public domain/0BSD, fare more people are able to benefit from it.

this is true gzdoom is gpl so you can't release on consoles, however it's also highly recognizable and a selling point for games to be on its engine

but simply due to resources available i'd never recommend anyone use anything other than gzdoom/unity/unreal

it's a pretty uphill battle convincing game devs to use your own custom engine that no-one's heard about

[fleet fulcrum]

But if you can make the same kinds of games on a different engine, would it matter?

[fleet fulcrum]

You forgot Godot.

[fleet fulcrum]

Who said I was going to?

[oak zodiac]

very much so 🙂 for example for doom/gzdoom there's a feel, a history, and a community of support and documentation around it going 30+ years strong

[oak zodiac]

nobody was just my opinion 🙂

Haven't posted in a while. I've been working lately on 2-3 versions of this map. In 1-2 weeks I will probably publish TTT (gmod) and HL2DM versions

[hazy sky]

@sudden imp

pass the whiskey

[oak zodiac]

to anybody that doesn't care about gzdoom of course you can

[fleet fulcrum]

Well. If it's just opinion, then there's no objective reason why I ought be concerned.

[oak zodiac]

correct

but it's also the opinion of someone who has been playing doom mods for 25+ years 🙂

[fleet fulcrum]

Then there was no point saying anything to begin with. You've undercut your own point.

[oak zodiac]

i've undercut nothing, just giving my opinion

[fleet fulcrum]

But if it's just opinion, there's no reason I ought be concerned.

[oak zodiac]

lol so you think opinions are worthless? best of luck getting people onboard with that attitude then

[fleet fulcrum]

Do most gamers care if it's running on GZDooM or not?

[oak zodiac]

many boomer shooter gamers do

gives it an extra layer of authenticity

[fleet fulcrum]

No, I'm saying there's no objective reason I ought be concerned, if it's just a matter of opinion, as it's not grounded.

[oak zodiac]

there's no objective reason to do anything in life, you take in data and opinions and then act according to your best interest

[fleet fulcrum]

Zortch runs on a bespoke engine and it's done pretty well for itself. Same for HROT.

[oak zodiac]

for sure, there are tons of awesome boomer shooter games not on the gzdoom engine

they're either on unreal or unity, engines that have also proven themselves like gzdoom

and have large communities for support and resources

[fleet fulcrum]

That's not true, though. You're doing anything at all, which proves you've already chosen life, and since the dead don't do anything, there are certain things you objectively ought do in order to continue living.

[oak zodiac]

again not discouraging development, just trying to give you the reality of the market

[oak zodiac]

well yah you have to eat and sleep to keep living lolol, thought that was obvious

[fleet fulcrum]

The reality is most people don't care what the engine is, so long as it's fun.

[oak zodiac]

right but devs do

because they have to make the games for people to play

[fleet fulcrum]

You literally just said theres no objective reason to do anything in life.

[oak zodiac]

again, thought doing things to stay alive was obvious and thus didn't need to be stated...

[fleet fulcrum]

Which is anything...

[oak zodiac]

yes, do you see how your statement here is moot? "No, I'm saying there's no objective reason I ought be concerned, if it's just a matter of opinion, as it's not grounded."

[fleet fulcrum]

Okay?

[oak zodiac]

yep, devs will choose whatever has the most support and resources

[fleet fulcrum]

No, and I should be asking you that, since you contradicted your own argument.

[oak zodiac]

there was no contradiction, maybe reread the thread?

[fleet fulcrum]

Okay? And who said otherwise?

[oak zodiac]

nobody, just letting you know that if you're building your own engine, that's an uphill battle to get devs to use it

[fleet fulcrum]

There was. First you said "there's no objective reason to do anything in life" then I pointed out why that's false and you said that's obvious. Well, if it's obvious then there's objective reason to do anything.

[oak zodiac]

i think you might have lost the plot a bit in this conversation

maybe stick to discussion about your engine

[fleet fulcrum]

What makes you think I wasn't aware of that?

[oak zodiac]

this discussion so far

[fleet fulcrum]

I mean, you took it into matters of Objectivist epistemology when you said theres no objective reason to do anything in life.

[oak zodiac]

I only said that because you said there's no objective reason to listen to people's opinions which implies they're effectively meaningless which is obviously false

[fleet fulcrum]

My point is that if they're just opinion, then they're subjective and thus there is no objective reason anyone ought agree, so if you're going to make a point, you must ground your argument in something objective, otherwise you're asserting a floating abstraction.

[oak zodiac]

i gave reasons for my opinions every time

but hey whatever you gotta tell yourself man, I can see your engine marketing is going super well so far

[fleet fulcrum]

If there were reasons that grounded your argument in reality, then why did you claim it was "just opinion"?

does anyone know how to mod on linux on ultakill

#ultrakill-modding may be able to help. Good luck buddy

i want to set you on fire for being a stupid ultrakid but also linux is based as hell so im conflicted

can we set you on fire instead

is there any way to still be able to play multiplayer?

i understand how the pink is now working in ultrakill

it started small in patch 15

and in 16 (ultra revamp) its not completely pink

in patch 14 theres no pink

now i can enjoy ultrakill with no pink

[past flint]

do anyone knows how to make NPC In LibreQuake?, i am using Quakeprism for it

[green ravine]

H

[sullen gyro]

guys whats the easiest way to get multiplayer in ultrakill is there a tutorial or wha

[toxic hemlock]

wrong fucking channel numbnuts

[pure jackal]

#ultrakill-modding is right there for gods sake

[sharp vortex]

From the brief bit I looked into it in the past + a little bit of looking at LibreQuake's source code, you need to get the source code from their GitHub, create a new .qc script for your NPC, and then insert lines pertaining to the new NPC into any file that might need to call it.

I suggest looking at something like, for instance, knight.qc, copy it, rename it, and then kind of zip around the code for all references to the entity (knight, monster_knight, etc.) and copy-paste those lines, variables, functions, etc. with your NPC's name. Then to use it you'll probably need to like create a .fgd file and add an entity entry to be able to place them in Trenchbroom or JACK. From here, compile it, make sure it runs/ works, and then start looking through the NPC code you added to customize it, maybe looking at other NPCs if you want to steal behavior, etc. If you can read C (QC) code well enough it's actually pretty well organized and self-explanatory with clear areas to define models, animations, sounds, etc. for the NPC

Shockingly and unshockingly very similar to when I was adding custom entities in Half Life SDK

[past flint]

wow, you are actually a live saver, i was looking all over the places just for this, thank you man, and also i want to put my custom animations as well (any tips?) $frame idle1 idle2 idle3 idle4 idle5

$frame death1 death2 death3 death4

[sharp vortex]

@past flint This took me some time to figure out but I was curious for my own nefarious purposes, and it's a bit tough to explain so I encourage you to research it a bit yourself. Essentially you can use Blender MDL Exporter (download the zip here and add the .zip as a plugin).

https://github.com/vncastanheira/Blender-MDL-Exporter/tree/2.93LTS

The issue is, if you're used to animation with skeletons/ armatures, you cannot, it doesn't support it, it wont even let you.

You have to use Shape Keys (vertex animation) to animate which is kind of really fucking archaic. Basically you add these on the "Data" properties tab on the object in blender and it interpolates the vertex values between a position on each keyframe. From what I gather and what I've seen reading the NPC source code, you'll basically do all this animation on one single timeline -- idle, walk, run, death, etc. will all be in one single timeline -- you'll have to name each frame and then in the .qc script you'll have to pretty much initialize every single named keyframe and then set them in the code (which I see you kind of already figured out)

I recommend giving this a watch first. Not sure what all you'll need to know, but I just skipped to the animation section. Feel free to watch it all though if you want.
https://youtu.be/nZC-G9Tz6OM?t=420

And then watch this for a general idea/ explanation of how shape keys work and how to get them working.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5syxlEsc7U

good luck lol

[past flint]

Thank you so much!, im used to shape keys so again thank you

[sharp vortex]

Ah excellent, you should be good then

[past flint]

[dusky pivot]

Doing some more texture paint

[earnest lily]

just ftr - as I wormed with the quake engine - you animate with skeletons & armatures and once exporting to MDL it will all be "baked" to shape keys

[sharp vortex]

Did you use something different?
The version I posted explicitly doesn't allow you to export to MDL if it detects armatures

[earnest lily]

I'll go dig through my pen drives

[tranquil oracle]

Yeah idTech's model format didn't support armatures until MD4

And it didn't even get used, so in practice it didn't have armatures until idTech 4 (MD5)

[earnest lily]

the workflow was similar to modern ones in this way - you'd animate using skeletons ( the "Art of Quake2" book has ID bitching about how their armatures would freak out )

they used PowerAnimator and created skeletons to quickly deform the models in question

for Wrath / MD3 we also used a blender plugin that baked down armature animation to vertex anims ( aka shape keys )

for my own Quake 1 fun times I might have used Blender 2.79

[sharp vortex]

Another workflow that might work out is exporting the model into ms3d format (with a plugin), opening it in Milkshape3D, and exporting to .mdl that way. But I have no clue how actually good at conversions Milkshape is

Last time I used it I reckon was like 2009 trying to edit Halo Custom Edition models

It does seem like there's at least a few fucked up workflows out here you can use that might be better than just animating with shape keys
