It can be done but a lot of it is spent trying to find the solution with the least amount of problems.

I mean just plug your result into the emission slot and call it a day xD

I feel like there is no need to not do pbr, even for hyper stylised, you can pull any look off in it

Good PBR workflow is pretty much just "Use substance painter or suffer"

Im not talking about photorealistic stuff :3
Pbr is just a ruleset for how an object is rendered you can do almost anything with that system
wraith beacon
Not really? Like I love working with PBR stuff buuuut sometimes I want a little more control. Sometimes I want to break rules.
Sometimes I want to make something look like it was rendered in 1920.
UE4's material editor, while great for working with PBR stuff isn't a complete replacement for writing shaders manually. It's good for building upon shaders but what if I want to make everything vertex lit (and also use the scene lights) ? Can't really do that without recompiling the engine.
indigo olive
You totally can!
Vertex interp + fixed list of lights + emission output
and if your material type is unlit then the actual lights wont have any overhead
unless I'm misunderstanding?

Semi-near future (around ghost in the shell tech) uprising in Hong Kong.
I was a bit anxious about how people would receive something like that but I did ask /r/HongKong what they thought about the idea last year and got a lot of support from them so I'm less concerned about the woke crowd coming for me.
I think it's a pretty neato setting from a game design standpoint as you can frame it like there is an HQ in the city center and you gotta break in to destroy the survalence network or something. The first episode can be on the City Streets, 2nd on the rooftops, 3rd in the government "bubble" and the 4th is insite the giant solarpunk style HQ working your way up... or down into the core :3
Also allows for an awesome excuse to have a lot of different unity types, Riot police, shielded enemies, special forces, drones, spider tanks, stuff like that :3

I thought your game was an RPG for the longest time, Hatsu. I like what you have with the design so far
indigo olive
Okay okay so hear me out here... probably wont bother for this FPS project but imagine reimplementing a pattern similar to the Skyrim Creation Kit on top of Unity. The Entire game is just a relational database and the world being split into cells. Depending on what you expose to LUA it would be insanely easy to build entirely new games using yours as a base.
So in unity you just create 2 applications (or roll it into one), the editor and the runtime, but the core difference here is that you essentially never really touch the Unity editor to make the game at all.
I mean I guess this is essentially building an engine on top of an engine but you get all rendering, platforms, physics etc out the box
Which I think if I ever get this FPS finished and have the opportunity to work on something bigger would be a smarter investment than OpenMW @candid dawn
Could even technically license this framework. Allow users to make mods on top or your runtime and if they want to sell it / have source access you could license the source.
heavy turret
Sounds kinda like a more streamlined unity-version of GMOD which would be pretty awesome
@viscid sandal project looks awesome, keep it up
indigo olive
The reason I mention specifically openMW is that it allows the world to be broken up into cells and since everything is just a huge database you can completely unload actors and stuff in other cells but still run some simulation on them like healing, travel, sleeping etc. Seems like a really cool architecture but limited in what you can do in the editor. Which is ideal for mods anywat
candid dawn
hah, yeah I've thought doing something similar but in UE4. You can't really do run-time landscapes in UE4 so would integrate Voxel plugin as well. In fact the voxel plugin author is working on this project https://www.coregames.com/ which is kind of that concept of making an "engine" out of UE4,
but its not centered around the Bethesda data-driven design

Anyone here know how to port animations to the source C arms rig?
limber grail
I can hardly even explain the ungodly things that lead up to this
tl;dr I wanted to be able to load 3D models from external files instead of compiling them into the binary with that SM64 PC port
Turns out the way SM64 handles importing assets is complex because y'know it's meant to be on a ROM
and then also I'd have to convert models into Fast3D display lists and also be limited by the capabilities of Fast3D (the PC port just wraps Fast3D with OpenGL) and y'know fuck that
So I thought I'd just do some rendering with OpenGL outside of the wrapper
But it turns out the OpenGL state machine is just totally fucked because of how that wrapper works
So now I'm rendering the N64 scene in its own OpenGL context and then doing my own rendering in a separate OpenGL context
But you can't share framebuffers between contexts
So I have to render out the color and the depth parts of the image out to separate textures, because textures CAN be shared across contexts
And then I draw it to the PC Context scene and override the depth of each fragment
untold niche
penis creature
limber grail
Which allows n64 things to be "in front" of PC things even though I render the PC scene on top of the N64 scene
anyway, monnkey
It's 5am I'm going to sleep
Oh also this was all done with OpenGL 2.1/GLSL 120 because that's what the wrapper uses and there's like no fucking documentation left on the internet for this shit lmao
This would've been a lot closer to trivial to do had I had the capabilities later versions of OpenGL offer

how does this movement script look to you guys?
Built it a while ago and intend to upgrade and do some more with it
but I was wondering how good it looks
coarse token
pretty sure you have some unnecessary nested if statements
just from grazing the code
tranquil oracle
code review time
- Naming schemes, types and public APIs should be named in CamelCase (Movement instead of movement, MaxSpeed instead of maxSpeed)
- Way too many public fields instead of private [SerializeField] fields, exposed to code via properties if necessary
- Velocity should be calculated in FixedUpdate to ensure determinism, thus you also need to buffer inputs like jump
- Key bindings are hardcoded, rather than exposed as callbacks or accessed through a custom input class
that's from a cursory review
oh and 5. You could probably use Physics.gravity and turn your gravity field into a multiplier
coarse token
agree with everything he said except the naming convention part, I would use maxSpeed too
camelcase was taught that way to me
tranquil oracle
Well it's moreso about consistency
The common style for C#/.NET is UpperCamelCase for types, methods and public fields/properties
and camelCase for private stuff (and method locals)
example of naming schemes:
public class MyClass
{
const int MyPrivateConstant = 1;
public const int MyPublicConstant = 1;
int myPrivateField;
public int MyPublicField;
public int MyPublicProperty { get; set; }
void MyPrivateMethod(int myParam)
{
const int MyLocalConstant = 1;
}
public void MyPublicMethod()
{
int myLocal = 25;
}
}
often private fields are prefixed with _ if you're following the Microsoft standard too, as it prevents naming conflicts with constructor parameters, so you aren't forced to use this. to disambiguate
humble herald
thanks for the criticism, and yeah my camelcase was also taught to me that way
and keybindings are going to be integrated, this is a proof of concept I'm going to rewrite with at least 3 or 4 classes supporting it
and I'll look into the gravity field

Oh my god, I just had the dumbest Doom mod idea.
A rudimentary real-time respiratory simulation that affects weapon bob and various sound or visual effects.
The foundation of it would be a boolean "isBreathing" key, and an integer "breathSpeed" key. Could create functions to call for stopping and starting breathing, modifying the breathing speed, and other dumb shit.
Then everything it affects could be tied back to that system.
Total waste of time, but I bet it'd be a hell of a learning experience.
potent escarp
That actually doesn't sound bad, maybe it's it wouldn't fit Doom, but for some other Fast FPS, it could give a nice feel, like Nightmare Reaper, since you're not the DOOMGUY, it could fit the style
So I actually don't think it's that dumb ^^
coarse token
sounds similar to stalker's stamina system
heart rate, vitals, breathing, etc could defenitley make for interesting survival game mechanics
I'd fit it as like a "exertion" value, the higher it is the less things you can do, eg sprinting requires exertion less than 5 or something like that
defenitley not a doom thing though, that's for sure
lean gyro
I'd personally only use it for decorative stuff, such as frozen breath in cold air, or the rhythmic huff and puff of a rebreather or oxygen tank.
But it could be used for depressurized environments as well.
indigo olive
Well that was a waste of time... ack to Unreal Engine I scurry. Unity is a mess at the moment D:
3 different renderers, only 2 of them being actively worked on yet neither of them are production ready,
URP just doesn't have the feature set but is actually designed in a way to let you extend it.
HDRP is actively hostile to any attempts to extend it.
Post processing only just got added to HDRP and it's a mess.
Shader graph doesn't support post processing effects.
"But Hannah" I hear you ask "why not just use the built in renderer?"
Well I really wanna use forward rendering and Unity still uses the old school fixed number of lights for it's non HDRP forward renderer. So I'd have to give up MSAA.
How did Unity go from being the easy to use sandboxed engine to actually being a bigger pain than Unreal? It's impressive.
I may be a little heated.
keen bear
understandable frustrations
for me, i dont place much value in MSAA, so it suits my needs
but if thats what youre after, yeah, youll run into troublle
because yeah, id actively avoid the new renderers
the old one is still the most stable, better option
the old one can achieve some good stuff, but you have to be willing to do all your shaders by hand
the stability decrease going to a version that supports the shader graph just isnt worth

That might be whats causing the issue, I think

๐คข
From where I'm standing, using the text tool at all to make a mesh is a crapshoot. I'm going to have to manually model every single letter myself, aren't I?
unique trellis
Retopo would probably have better normals, too.
lean gyro
I gotta have Eurostile or I'm gonna bash my head in.
I wonder if I can get just vertices from text.
I could create the bevels using just offsets, and four copies of the text as a plane.
Then I could manually connect each vertex.
brazen copper
Can you import the text as a vector and just extrude the faces back? Then subdivide it later. At least you can in Maya
lean gyro
That's worth trying. Hopefully, it won't get too angry about the hole in the pound sign.
Ngons aren't too much of an issue for me, honestly. This isn't going into a game or anything.
brazen copper
Is it going to be textured at all?
lean gyro
Nope, just a glass shader. This whole thing started because I wanted to mess around with glass shaders.
brazen copper
Fuck it. 92 sided faces then lol
Do you have illustrator?
I'm pretty sure blender can import ai files
lean gyro
Photoshop does the job just as well, I guess. I can export an SVG from that.
Of course, then we're back to square one. In order to get a good bevel, I need to convert it to a mesh, and the topo gets fucked again anyway.
Trying to apply a Bevel modifier to it while it's still an extruded 2D object is, uh... well, it's interesting.

TAA while being smudgy also kinda functions good as a denoiser.
keen bear
maybe my brain is dumb

TAA can be alright with a decent resolution and sharpening amount
But SSAA is based
but also eats up frames

But like a lot of post process AA methods TAA kinda needs a lot of tweaking.

Well I solved the shimemr issue with upscaling the pixel art then bilinear filtering, and when I was trying out Unity I wrote a shader that managed to sample pixel art at native 32x32 with very similar results, should work as well in unreal :3
the upsampling solution looks slightly better
but is a pain in the ass
I think there are some screenshots form the upsampling in unreal and the shader in Unity above ๐

Little something I put together a little while ago, scene hierarchy folders for Unity.
Use the "add from git url" option in the package manager to add these:
https://github.com/NewBloodInteractive/com.newblood.hierarchy-callbacks.git
https://github.com/NewBloodInteractive/com.newblood.hierarchy-folders.git
and you'll get a new "Create Folder" option in the context menu
the folders get removed at runtime, so the hierarchy can be as flat as possible and get a perf benefit from unity splitting root transform processing into jobs

Here's a weird question. Anyone know if it's possible to read an arbitrary text file using GZDoom's ZScript?
Google isn't showing any promising results.
Like, let's say I had a config file that had something like this.
{
foo="451"
bar="666"
}
"Swing"
{
foo="123"
bar="321"
}```I'd want to have it look within the text file for a specific string in quotes, then from { to }, pass each option through line by line. But I don't know if it'd even acknowledge the content to begin with.

@lean gyro Yes, you can use Wads.ReadLump iirc
here's an example: https://gitlab.com/TheZombieKiller/zk/-/blob/master/zk-steps/scripts/zk-steps/static.zsc

LumpStream is just a custom class of mine for more easily reading stuff from a file, you can mostly ignore it and just use Wads.ReadLump(lump); to get a string

It looks something like this
dang, I can't post pictures?
prisma basalt
link pics. new users cant directly upload until rat rank
shy hatch
Seems interesting, i'll take a look later
ebon summit
I'd appreciate feedback, especially regarding difficulty tweaking
and everything really
shy hatch
So how many waves are there in total?
In any case, farthest i got was wave 3, game would really benefit from having ammo pick-up's being more recognizable from a distance
The are where most of the ammo is located just has way too much goo, so taking damage is almost inevitable
Movement seems a bit strange, feels like you have too much momentum
But i see potential in the game, was it inspired by Serious Sam at all?
ebon summit
Nice, thanks! Honestly not at all. Serious Sam I've always really passionately hated lol!
It's probably more the wave style gameplay? I see some similiarities though
I completely agree about the pickups not being easily recognisable, that's something I have on my to-do list
and movement definitely takes some getting used to, but I find it really rewarding once figured out
shy hatch
Gotcha
What is the campaign (structure wise) gonna be like?
As for difficulty, the monsters themselves are fine, they all have their own thing they do and with clear ways to defeat them
Was just running out of ammo kind of fast, mostly due to the pickups being in the goo zone, and didn't see much in the outside area
But i'll keep an eye out for the game, curious to see where it goes
sharp vortex
I really like how the monsters look
ebon summit
Campaign I haven't started to work on, so it's all quite theoretical but I'd like for it to be quite story driven, so no arena-style gameplay.
the survival/endless mode is meant to be unique in that sense.
There should definitely be enough ammo spawning, just have to be fast and hop over the acid without taking too much damage.
@sharp vortex thanks! I'm pretty happy with their designs as well
toxic hemlock
lowkey thinking of maybe scrapping the guns and making my thing fully melee based

@ebon summit Hey man, that was a really fun hour of gameplay and I'm 100% going to keep that saved! I really love the movement, the different enemy mechanics, the sped-up feel to the gameplay that's really complemented by the slow-motion ability. When I first started playing I was expecting ammo to be scarce based on the comment above, but there seemed to be an abundance of it once I figured out most/all of the spots they spawn in. They seemed to partly replenish at the end of a wave, not sure if that's just a coincidence but I never had ammo difficulties. Bunny-hopping was a genuinely useful thing to do as it created distance between you and the runners so that you can use your grenade launcher, which I found to be a useful strategy. Another useful strategy I found was that if you use the launch pad to jump on, it shoots you in the air and the runners just crowd around the launch pad which allows you a moment to "reign fire" :p
Couple of points:
- At the start of the 6th wave my shotgun seemed to have a midlife crisis and decided it was best to not maintain it's models integrity: https://gyazo.com/72d980c0cff21e488f43fb93dbd38a79
- When I clicked 'Highscore' on the main menu it was empty (sadface), and when I backed out of the highscores to the menu the highscore option was highlighted as if I was hovering it and I was unable to move my mouse - had to alt-f4 to exit the game.
- I often found myself getting caught on the fence that surrounds the acid pit, if you hit the fence with speed then it'll sometimes prevent you from jumping - I don't know if that's an intended function of the fences but it was an irritating occurrence!
Like I say though man, that was a really fun game. A question I have would be; in regards to the weapons numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 7) - where's 6? I kept searching the map hoping to see a special secret gun but it was a hopeless endeavour.
ebon summit
Awesome thanks so much for the extensive feedback. Some really good stuff there. The respawn is a bit unintuitive, it basically rolls dice after each wave to determine if a respawn occurs or not, but a failure to respawn an item increases the likelihood for the next round, and even if a respawn is triggered there's a 10-20 second delay so restocking has to be done during combat for the most part.
The shotgun glitch I'm quite aware of, it's due to the fact that there are no weapon switching animations in place yet. Basically the key press instantly triggers a switch, freezing any animation that was unfinished. The menu glitch is odd, I failed to reproduce it but will investigate! And the rail has also been bugging me whenever I'd stuck in its weird collider, you've helped me make up my mind, guess it has to go ๐
Super happy to hear you enjoyed it. Weapons 3 and 6 are still in the making... I'm hoping to get at least one of those in there as well as the next ranged (not gigantic) enemy. Then I'll see if I can get Dave to check out my demo. Nervous about that!

Anyone know how to properly set up Trenchbroom

@dire tendon how much experience do you have with 3d modelling? if none or close to, I'd recommend going for the blender donuts & coffee tutorials
dire tendon
I just started this week, was able to make a functional and textured model for maximum action but it's extremely basic
so not much
crystal kraken
dire tendon
isn't that part of a playlist?
crystal kraken
yes
dire tendon
can you link the whole thing?
crystal kraken
it is the long road, but it will give you experience in a lot of little details you'll need in the long run
dire tendon
my main worry is that I will forget somethings during the course of the series
crystal kraken
ofc you will, you won't fixate it all without practice
but first comes learning the basics
dire tendon
I'll check it out later on
crystal kraken
if what you want is crude models I wouldn't even recommend blender tbh, wings3d can do low poly modelling really well too
but if you want to learn blender I'd really recommend starting out with that playlist
crystal kraken
I'd have to google for that one
dire tendon
Part of the reason why choose Blender is that it's easier to find relevant tutorials
crystal kraken
thats because wings3d does one thing and that's it, it's a simple subdivision modelling tool and thats it
blender is a more complete, robust tool
but that comes with a price
which is that you'll need a lot more effort to master it, but I'd say it's worth it on the long run
dire tendon
is there a free software that specifically focuses on texturing 3d models? Blender has that ability but I was wonder if there was something more purpose made for it
crystal kraken
what do you mean with "texturing"? you can do UV mapping with wings3d/blender and then painting with Krita/Gimp
blender also has an extensive library of materials to use (which you'll need to download ofc)
still - that playlist I told you about also teaches you how to do texture painting in blender
dire tendon
Is there where you paint an image over the mesh?
crystal kraken
sorta- you need an uv map to tell you where in a texture each triangle is, and the actual texture
and materials/shaders to tell the renderer how to display it
these are all things covered in the playlist
I'd really recommend straight up just doing the donut & coffee exercise along with the playlist, maybe even show us a picture of your results when you're done with each milestone
