sharp vortex
not without buying it, no
unique trellis
damnit
sharp vortex
there's no upgrade path from Vista to 10, that's free at least. 7 to 10 is free, but Vista to 7 isnt
hazy sorrel
you could always try the used sticker
sharp vortex
Can't say for sure.
I guess wait until you can get a key.
unique trellis
well honestly it get's the job done
and it looks really nice and modern and feels nice to use
I don't mind sticking
It's a nice OS
hazy sorrel
so nice it was scrapped for Windows 7
tired hound
err
unique trellis
Wait, really?
hazy sorrel
(which is a refurbished vista)
unique trellis
I like it
tired hound
it really isnt but youve been using it for so long that your prob used to the bad stuff
tired hound
its generally unstable
unique trellis
Oh really?
brittle tide
Nokia flipphones feel modern if you've never used anything else
unique trellis
I can't tell
tired hound
yeah exactly
hazy sorrel
unstable, resource demanding for its time
unique trellis
My PC hasn't crashed in a long time honestly
Even tho I play all these heavy games like Doom Eternal
hazy sorrel
Jokes on you, flipphones can be more of a utility than the cheapest smartphones
brittle tide
That means they're modern-er
unique trellis
What version of Windows do you guys use tho
tired hound
most use 10
hazy sorrel
You cannot do much but always gets the job done
brittle tide
Millennial
hazy sorrel
10
unique trellis
Mh
tired hound
i use 8 for reasons that will probrably start a small argument if i go into it
unique trellis
Is 10 any good?
hazy sorrel
Its decent
tired hound
but id reccomend 10
unique trellis
i use 8 for reasons that will probrably start a small argument if i go into it
@tired hound Tell me
im interested
tired hound
maybe later
hazy sorrel
you need 10 for modern software and security updates
brittle tide
It's twice as modern as Vista at least
unique trellis
Really?
tired hound
also you really shouldnt disable security updates. they arnet fun to install but it sure is more fun to not be hacked
brittle tide
Ja
unique trellis
I havent enabled any updates since I installed Vista fopr the first time
hazy sorrel
Not sure if vista is as vulnerable as 7
unique trellis
I remember the updates as a painful mess from my dad's PC
It would always install them when you turned off the PC and trying to go to bed
tired hound
thats another problem with vista btw. even if you did enable securrity updates theres no way that the microsoft team is still pushing those out, leaving you very vunrable
hazy sorrel
you dont know if you have virus
unique trellis
Of course I do
tired hound
you woudlnt know tbh
brittle tide
no viruses keep pc's fast to hide them
hazy sorrel
you dont know if someone is peeking through firewall holes
tired hound
some viruses are good at hiding themselves, and i doubt it would be hard on vista to do that
unique trellis
Ugh
tired hound
just because it hasnt happened doesnt mean it wont
unique trellis
You guys give me the creeps.
brittle tide

unique trellis
Eh
tired hound
welcome to the internet
unique trellis
Thanks I guess
hazy sorrel
its the reality
brittle tide
thanks i guess he muttered dismissively
why are you consuming a modding channel with this weird discussion
he asked no one in particular
tired hound
it was orignally about running unity
unique trellis
Dude you've been trying to provoke me since quite some time today!
brittle tide
im really not
tired hound
wait
sharp vortex
7601 is fucking windows 7 lmao
tired hound
ive been bamboozled
unique trellis
Well I don't know what that means honestly
tired hound
windows 7 is much better than vista
tired hound
its still prone to security vunrabilities since microsoft stopped pushing out security updates but its much better
sharp vortex
You can change the system reg info lmao
brittle tide
a script kiddie without the script!
unique trellis
What does that even mean lol
astral night
Shows over
sharp vortex
Didn't do quite enough homework for the ruse I suppose
tired hound
and also we all think that weve been trolled
unique trellis
Well all I can say is that I'm not trolling I guess
tired hound
i cant belive that i thought he was running doom eternal on vista lol
brittle tide
y so gullible batman
sharp vortex
oh my lord this was funny
tired hound
i dont think that you trolled us,
but i really cant speak for others
unique trellis
idk what suddenly happened
brittle tide
something suddenly came up
sharp vortex
Comic sans Windows 7 with the OS name changed
tired hound
vista is infamous. windows 7 is famous for being good (although now outdated)
unique trellis
Well you can see that it looks like Windows Vista
brittle tide
w7 renown
brittle tide
stop responding to that
unique trellis
I think they have different colors
brittle tide
we may never know
sharp vortex
you can change the colors oml i dont know why im even doing this anymore
hazy sorrel
cuz youre a muffin
sharp vortex
yeah
unique trellis
Well like I said I don't know a lot about PCs
brittle tide
u will figure it out
tired hound
(i still reccomend getting win 10)
unique trellis
Thx for tryin to help tho, I appreciate it ^_^
tired hound
either you trolled us, or a friend of yours thats good with computers tried to troll you
brittle tide
someone out there is aggravated you wasted their time when they tried to help you
im just laughing at how fucking insane u r
star with sunglasses eating popcorn
brazen copper
I cant believe hes still going
unique trellis
either you trolled us, or a friend of yours thats good with computers tried to troll you
Why do I feel like I know who it could be
brittle tide
ja it was his friend not him
sharp vortex
"oh that pesky friend of mine must have wanted me to look like a fool, that's it!!"
brittle tide
hazy sorrel
where are my nachos
unique trellis
Well I haven't said that but ok?
unique trellis
We can talk about something else if you don't feel like talkin about that stuff right now
tired hound
as you can see they are not giving you the benifit of the doubt
brittle tide
alas i cannot afford the popping corns
unique trellis
If you want
brittle tide
how bout u engage in genuine discussion for a few minutes
sharp vortex
anyway, back to modding chat
unique trellis
Well so
Mh
I ve had plans to make a Dusk Like game but with weapon mods and stuff from doom eternal but in like Dusk and Quake like graphics
hazy sorrel
so i didnt added #library and thats why it was conflicting with others maps acs
what a terrible mess i am
unique trellis
Its okay, sometimes we all are a terrible mess
It happens to the best
but actually it's good that we aren't perfect isn't it?
Imagine a "perfect" world... how boring
But about that idea...
hazy sorrel
im a literal mess
unique trellis
Do you think Doom Eternal with Quake graphics would be any good?
hazy sorrel
dont fuck with me
unique trellis
Oh well I am a lot messier than you could ever imagine...
And I don't think I tried to fuck with you?
Well sure let's talk about some other modding related stuff then
So what was your latest game you've created?
indigo olive
Why is it every few months I get the urge to do something in the Quake engine... It's so pointless 😂
hazy sorrel
just make wanna be retro schüter smh
unique trellis
I don't understand why doing something in Quake would be pointless.
Lots of great stuff has been done fore it.
I have sen much more great level design in Quake than most modern games
indigo olive
It's moreso that I know UE4 so it's pointless to limit myself like that... I just want that brush based life tho
trenchbroom seems comfy
storm pier
i made this game mostly in 48 hours with my friends a few weeks ago https://milkbar-lads.itch.io/bonkers
i guess this is the right place to post it? i asked in #general-art and was told to go here
but yea about 90% of the work for this was done in 2 days for a game jam and then i ironed out a few things and added some small stuff afterwards
hope you guys like it if you decide to play it
tranquil oracle
@indigo olive There's a tool called HammUEr which can import .MAP files into UE4, although it costs like 40 USD
indigo olive
yeah the problem with that is you're not allowed to package it with the game so you dont get the modding support D: plus the process of making maps is no longer integrated into one package which is what seems nice about it
tranquil oracle
That sucks
indigo olive
I'll porbably stick with UE but might take a break to make a few quake maps and see if I feel limited in my creativity or not
Platform support is a big thing for me too but I cant imagine it's THAT hard to port something the like the quake engine to a console... hell they got the build engine running on it
tranquil oracle
The biggest barrier to that is the GPL
You would need to contact Bethesda for a closed source license
indigo olive
couldn't you open source the abstraction layer?
and keep the closed source platform library
tranquil oracle
That's a potential option, I'm not certain of the legalities but that's the route I'd go if I couldn't obtain a license (after seeking legal advice of course)
indigo olive
yeee
I think the main thing is that I should take my personal shit less seriously and go with what's fun for me
and tbh the blender > ue4 workflow for making levels is what's killing my inspiration
tranquil oracle
Yeahhhh using a modelling tool for level design is never pleasant
indigo olive
Unity has realtime CSG but I had my issues with HDRP when I gave it a go
I'll settle on something
tranquil oracle
The author of RealtimeCSG works at Unity now and is working on a replacement called Chisel just in case you hadn't heard of it
although I think I remember discussing it here before
tranquil oracle
The next option would be to use the BSP import stuff from the Dusk SDK once we open source it
indigo olive
that could potentially be neato
tranquil oracle
We're not putting any restrictions on its use because that'd be counterproductive
indigo olive
my main issue with the quake engine tbh is how ancient and arcane the source code is xd
all the modern ports are hobby projects that like 3 guys know how to use
tranquil oracle
Quake's source is actually quite tidy
It's tidier and more pleasant to read than UE4's, I can guarantee that much
tranquil oracle
Yeah, there's a lot of inconsistency in Quake port code
indigo olive
if I actually spent more than 5 mins with quake I might like it
the idea of a quake engine layer ontop of unity is compelling
tranquil oracle
Some of the lighting code in Quakespasm (which I believe is based on a bit of code from Darkplaces) is abhorrent
indigo olive
if there is some sort of nice interface for adding new VM functions and stuff
tranquil oracle
Lemme grab one line in particular that I hate
indigo olive
I'd like to do most of the stuff actually engine side
and expose behaviour to modders
FTEQW is what I have my eye on
unique trellis
zombie be code postin again
indigo olive
gang gang
tranquil oracle
lightmap += ((surf->extents[0]>>4)+1) * ((surf->extents[1]>>4)+1)*3; // LordHavoc: *3 for colored lighting
Try to guess what this does
hazy sorrel
without reading the comment?
tranquil oracle
Translated:
||lightmapOffset += lightmapWidth * lightmapHeight * sizeof(pixel);||
indigo olive
kill it with fire
indigo olive
what the fuck
what kinda format is he storing that data in that is needs a bitshift
surely darkplaces isnt that old that bit-packing made any sort of memory difference
tranquil oracle
So, that's actually just a divsion by 16
It's done as >> 4 as an optimization for old compilers
But basically, Quake BSP doesn't directly store the dimensions of a surface's lightmap texture
So you have to calculate it using the surface's UV extents
The formula is extents / 16 + 1
indigo olive
cries in gameplay programmer
tranquil oracle
But rather than having a function like CalculateLightmapDimensions, that formula is littered all over
tranquil oracle
Yeah, many
indigo olive
but the thing is it does everything I want it to already
and most of the bugs are in gameplay code like their behaviour tree system
tranquil oracle
I spent several hours delving through old deprecated code to fix a UE4 bug for Unfortunate Spacemen
Wasn't fun
Several hours as in, across multiple days
indigo olive
yeah, I guess I just need to get around to doing some rendering programming
lol
yeah we had a wonderful bug with the Parallel node in the behaviour trees
that took a few days of fun
tranquil oracle
||turns out a console variable was just hooked up to the wrong field||
indigo olive
probably still in the engine, I submitted a fix that apparently didnt fix it clean enough for them
so they left it broken
which is fair
ohgodwhy
tranquil oracle
That's funny considering how much of an architectural mess most of UE4 is lmao
indigo olive
basically we had a problem with the parallel node not aborting properly and leaving a dangling task
we fixed that but we caused the whole tree to reevaluate to the valid position
which is the correct position
but epic where like "you caused a recalculation... that's not ideal and slow"
BUT AT LEAST IT FUCKING WORKS
like, it's so rare that this edge case happens... and if its common enough you can even spot it in profiling then that should tell you that bug is critical as it's in the hot path
tranquil oracle
That's a fair call on their part I think
Would be nice if they offered some advice on how to improve the fix though
indigo olive
We know how to sort it, we just had a milestone knocking at the door and never got around to it 🤣
As is life, in theory they should now know there is an issue and fix it themselves but who knows
wraith beacon
As much as I love using UE4 it's definitely Tim Sweeney's fortnite roller coaster.
Lately I've been trying to find a better way for doing character decals for instance and it's been a thing.
muted stirrup
By character decals you mean like damage marks/blood etc?
wraith beacon
Yes.
muted stirrup
I've never tried doing that, I just stick with 2D 'characters' lol
wraith beacon
There's definitely a reason why a lot of games forgoe decals on characters these days.
Mostly because it's heck to get right.
muted stirrup
Yeah when done well its great little addition imo, but id imagine it would be pain, specially with more complicated models, not to mention the myriad other factors you'd likely have to deal with
ebon summit
I made a little dev log type of thing talking about some weapon mechanics!

I'm new to Unity and I'm considering purchasing UModeler or downloading ProBuilder to be able to make maps inside of Unity, and just ... not learn Blender. Is that a terrible idea?
wraith beacon
I'd still advise learning Blender even if you're not going to use it for making maps.
spare raven
For characters, weapons and so on?
wraith beacon
Unity's tools for animation for instance aren't good like at all.
Yeah.
You're going to want to use Blender or some other 3D package for those.
spare raven
That actually makes a lot of sense. But if I just want to iterate as fast as possible on maps, is UModeler or ProBuilder okay?
wraith beacon
Can't speak for Umodeller but Probuilder's just a 3D modelling tool marketed as a level design tool
spare raven
What is the difference between a 3D modelling tool and a level design tool? Is a level design tool more fully featured? Are there any of those that exist inside of Unity?
wraith beacon
You can use a 3D modelling tool for level design but it's not ideal. Heard good things about Realtime CSG for standard brush based level making
spare raven
I will take a look at it. Thank you!
spare raven
So, I have been researching a little bit. If I understand it correctly, with Realtime CSG the boolean operations are non-destructive, whereas with UModeler they are destructive.
I can definitely see how it would be faster to prototype with Realtime CSG then
modest ermine
Probuilder is cool and a lot faster than building stuff with Hammer for instance, but if you do stuff in the wrong order and wind up with weird geometry then fixing stray verts and wacky UVs is a lot of work. Fastest way I figured out was moving all the extra verts to the same spot as a neighbor and collapsing them. Umodeller is nice but you won't see the benefits to using it until you're somewhat familiar with ProBuilder now that it's free.
You can actually export mesh parts for a level made in ProBuilder so you can add detail work and such in Blender so it's not a one-or-the-other situation, but you won't need to do that until you've playtested and whiteboxed stuff.
winged shard
correct me if im wrong but i belive you can export hammer 2 map files to a format for other programs the only one i remember is maya though off the top of my head
a little DM map for open fortress ive been working on
it's a recreation of Black Mesa's We've Got Hostiles however it will have several new connecting paths
just a little something i've been working on though

Some More WIP stuff on the level
air vents in top image contain a spawn point each for random mercs coming out of the building
redid the airvents texture to look nice

1 moment, but visit the dusk-mods channel above if you want to follow some development and talk about dusk mods specifically
wind ingot
thanks

how do you boot mods into Dusk?
shy hatch
You need the SDK first
You can download it by going into DUSK's properties and selecting the beta branch "SDK"
wind ingot
ok
spare scarab
there is a channel for dusk mods specifically btw
wind ingot
ok
weak lark
Quick Unity question, how do you change texture filtering at runtime? I'm considering making it an option like how Dusk does
tranquil oracle
You need to set the filterMode property on each texture
So you need to store a collection of textures somewhere that you wish to be affected by that setting
weak lark
thanks, I'm still relatively new to Unity/C#

indigo olive
@unique trellis yeah that's the news, me.and Revel are teaming up to make a hybrid game of our projects in UE4 instead
@crystal kraken I mean there is more but it's kinda news itself if you're part of the quake scene recently :3
A teaser gameplay demo was uploaded to YouTube last month using dark places but it's moving to ue4 and changing slightly
keen bear
huh i feel like i missed that
watching it no
w
yeah i think moving to ue4 is a great move
the preview vid, while extremely cool, reads very much like a quake TC
i think being on a fresh base gives you a chance to make it more distinct
indigo olive
Hell yea :3 that video is also using old textures and models and it's now a mix of both of our projects so we're super hyped to get it to the point we want to show properly again but it's looking great ☺️
crystal kraken
@indigo olive well, I haven't been active on Quake anything for quite a while
my last (open) quake-related commit was in 2014 methinks
muted stirrup
Work in progress from a remake/update of a game im working on (was gonna put this in art, but since its game dev related figured id drop it here)
unique trellis
Are ultrakill mods a thing now?
pure jackal
probably not until the game comes out
hazy sorrel
not in near future
indigo olive
Probably not unless they go full DUSK sdk imo. And as a programmer the dusk sdk amazes me 😮
unique trellis
There are tools to mod Unity games right now if you want
Not very convenient but they work
indigo olive
Yeah for sure, but they are messy af
unique trellis
We can't have everything
indigo olive
I'm just interested in seeing the sauce for Dusk SDK when they release it
that could tempt me away from unreal for my retro games
purely for the community mod support and QuakeC
although QuakeC 🤮
unique trellis
Same way I feel about blueprints
indigo olive
C++ gang
unique trellis
I don't enjoy QuakeC a lot cause it's quite limited but i'd rather that over tying knots between squares
indigo olive
I use blueprints for triggering anims and responding to C++ events I fire but that's about it
Working with other people who know blueprints is hell though
I like that they exist but my dayjob is ue4 and designers do the darndest things with BP
wraith beacon
BPs good but if you don't pay a lot of attention it can become a tangled mess.
indigo olive
Yeee, I actually fully believe that performance aside you can make a full game in BP and have it be super neat and well put together
I've just noticed a connection between people who only know BP and people who make messy BPs xD
wraith beacon
Eh performance with BP ain't terrible but it's definitely slower than C++
indigo olive
yeah, I dont mind having bps in a project ^-^
It's moreso if you make a full game in there you could run into issues
but it depends on what kinda game you're making
indigo olive
yep, so when a weapon fires in my project it just calls an blueprintimplementableevent on the animbp
and then notifies all handle the logic inside the weapon
BPs are great for reactive stuff
once you start building the systems themselves in bp
it becomes a spiders web if you're not careful
wraith beacon
Eh building systems can work fine too, as long as you don't run everything on tick or timers with a really small interval.
tranquil oracle
With how the QuakeC support is set up you could just write your own backend that implements C++ scripting
It's being engineered in a way that it could theoretically support Quake 2 or GoldSrc code (not that it's actually planned to be utilized for that though)
indigo olive
Id want something super easily moddded by the players so I'd probably go the LUA route
that would be neato
unique trellis
oh god lua
indigo olive
it's fast as fucc boi
unique trellis
I hate it
tranquil oracle
Lua rules if you can get past the syntax
unique trellis
Syntax is horrible
tranquil oracle
LuaJIT is also like
indigo olive
most of the timemodders arent coders
tranquil oracle
The fastest scripting JIT ever
unique trellis
I'd rather lear whatever new crazy feature they add in C++20
indigo olive
they dont have preconcieved notions
lua's language spec is like less than 10% of c++
tranquil oracle
If you don't like Lua you can always use it as a compilation target
indigo olive
lets not get ahead of ourselves
tranquil oracle
For example, Haxe can transpile to Lua
There's also a C# to Lua transpiler
I'm in the C++ is bloated camp, but let's not get into that can of worms lol
wraith beacon
Visual Scripting is super handy for shader/material stuff. Especially if you're doing complicated vertex anim stuff.
unique trellis
C++ is bloated
indigo olive
C++ is a mess 😂
tranquil oracle
I like visual scripting for anything other than actual programming
indigo olive
I wish golang didnt have forced garbage collection
tranquil oracle
Like, for things that are primarily visual it works brilliantly
wraith beacon
Let's just go back to Microsoft BASIC TBH.
indigo olive
shaders are perfect for visual programming
tranquil oracle
C will always be my favorite, warts and all
indigo olive
I'd go for modern C
tranquil oracle
Of course, no less than C11
indigo olive
declaring vars at the top of functions can gtfo
indigo olive
ahaha
unique trellis
I started working on a C++14 project and after the initial impact I am quite ok with it
The project is great so learning mte abstract features is fine by me
indigo olive
there is just too much going on that encourages programmers to be as "clever" as they can
tranquil oracle
Yeah I mean, you can still use C++ and have fun
and it has its uses
I just think it's a really poor choice for a first language
unique trellis
tranquil oracle
Too many pitfalls
unique trellis
this is the project I was talking about
tranquil oracle
Speaking of Lua's syntax
There's a language based on Lua that gives it a more C-like syntax called Squirrel
The SDK originally used that, but I ended up ditching it for a number of reasons
I think Portal 2 and L4D2 use it
indigo olive
oooh I'll check it out :3
tranquil oracle
iirc it also doesn't have a mature JIT but I may be misremembering
AngelScript is a really cool one if your project is in C++
Blood: Fresh Supply and other Night Dive remasters use it
wraith beacon
So did Overgrowth.
unique trellis
theres a lua variant with optional static types
crystal kraken
C++, if you're not trying to be flashy, is better than working with stock C imho
RAII and Templates (used with a lot of diligence) come to mind, plus having a library of good container implementations
unique trellis
I just want C but with namespaces 😞
crystal kraken
going back to C, missing RAII and templates really stood out to me
error handling in C is really annoying - you need a lotta macroing and whatever, and sometimes you just HAVE to use a few goto's to do it
also constexpr
tranquil oracle
I despise templates as implemented by C++
RAII is good, but if C were to get that, I'd prefer if it were a defer call feature
And well, goto is the recommended way to handle cleanup in C, it's tidy and I have nothing much more to say on that
I don't use any macros for my error handling at all
(and constexpr would be good if it was actually always const and wasn't effectively replaced by consteval in C++20)
unique trellis
good containers is probably my most favorite C++ feature
screw C linked lists
give me a vector
tranquil oracle
It's very hard to do type safe container types in C, which is definitely a point against the language
unique trellis
templates are good too, I was quite skeptical of lambda but I have seen simple and effective uses, although I still wonder if something else would have been better in their place
tranquil oracle
lambdas are good
there's an experimental language called Zig that offers a rather cool alternative to templates, if only I liked most of the other things about the language...
unique trellis
I had a math teach who could not say lambda, he said something like lameba
tranquil oracle
In Zig, you can have a compile time method that returns a new type definition
unique trellis
interesting
tranquil oracle
So the function can take parameters of types
Which it uses to create a new type
fn List(comptime T: type) type
{
return struct
{
items: []T,
count: usize,
};
}```like it outputs a struct kinda thing or is it something different?
tranquil oracle
when you do this, the type returned gets named after the function
unique trellis
Ah there you go
tranquil oracle
And you can use that function call anywhere you'd use a type
so you can write thing: List(i32)
I think it's a really cool idea and I'd like to see another language play with the concept
unique trellis
where is usize coming from in your example?
tranquil oracle
It's just a standard type
unique trellis
i see
tranquil oracle
it's like size_t in C/C++
unique trellis
got it
white sage
Zombinos that doesnt look like any C i've ever seen
unique trellis
I assume it is unsigned size
white sage
what is it
tranquil oracle
It's Zig
unique trellis
no this is Patrick
crystal kraken
I despise templates as implemented by C++
I can def. see why would anyone hate it, but even in the insanely annoying and convoluted way it works it's still better than not having it
tranquil oracle
Oh for sure
Maybe when C++20 brings designated initializers I'll be more likely to consider it
It's one of my favorite parts of C and there's a lot you can do with it
Namely, named/optional function parameters
coarse token
data structures in general are interesting to me
tranquil oracle
#include <stdio.h>
struct CoolFuncArgs
{
int someInt;
float someFloat;
};
void CoolFunc(struct CoolFuncArgs args[static 1])
{
printf("someInt: %d\nsomeFloat: %f\n", args->someInt, args->someFloat);
}
// To have arguments with default values other than {0}, set them before __VA_ARGS__
#define CoolFunc(...) CoolFunc(&(struct CoolFuncArgs) { .someFloat = 120, __VA_ARGS__ })
int main(int argc, char *argv[argc - 1])
{
CoolFunc(.someInt = 7);
return 0;
}
example of how to do named + default parameters using designated initializers in C
By specifying default parameters in the #define you lose the ability to call the function without named arguments though
As in, if you change the define to
#define CoolFunc(...) CoolFunc(&(struct CoolFuncArgs) { __VA_ARGS__ })
you can do both CoolFunc(7) and CoolFunc(.someInt = 7)

Movement and slow motion are nice, and so are the weapon viewmodels. The viewmodels in particular remind me of Quake and Unreal-engine blocky models.

Yeah it actually started out as a quake TC, well at least half o the project did 😂
WE wanna stick to sliiightly higher fi than quake but not too much but with modern rendering features like volumetrics

Stinky paintover and this really is just a matter or personal taste but I'd say around this size would be pretty good. To give it that hollywood blank vibe.

tbh talking poorly on a game that still looks rather nice by today's standards considering it is 13 years old and runs on a 17 years old engine over something pretty minimal does not make you look good

I wasn't really going in on tf2, moreso that I was overthinking the problem
there is a reason I went to tf2 to check the level of polish, it feels great
brazen copper
What's even the issue in the video?
indigo olive
Tracers just go through shit, the bullets dont line up properly xD
I'm overthinking things
also the delay on the tracers
brazen copper
Tf2 gets wacky when you slow it down.
It's also tracers on a hitscan weapon, so it's gonna look delayed no matter what, but I think it's mostly due to it being slowed down. What's worse is when you're watching a stv replay or something slowed down. The game looks super broken in those

The whole UI is the new Source 2 stuff, panorama I think It's called
But I think they got some other stuff too
tired warren
As a modder I'm super excited for CSGO being ported to Source 2
Source 2 is so much easier to work with than Source 1
Friendship with Source 1 ended, Source 2 is my new best friend
near mortar
As a person who plays video games I hate CSGO and as such don't care about it being ported to Source 2 
Although it is probably a useful thing for modders regardless
probably a great way to get prepared for new games coming out that use Source 2 as well as the new iterations of Hammer and S2DK and things like that

source / 2 looks absolutely beautiful but yeah i cant get into csgo either
i got some wips

winged shard
a note about source2 while some of the S1 jank still exists a lot of it has been removed from the new level design tools.which can be used to make S1 VMF maps. you still have to abide by S1 level design standards (enclose the level to stop leaks ETC ETC.) but with the improved S2 Tool set.
i know of 1 TF2 map at least made in the S2 Tools
and the CSGO remake of dust 2 was made in S2 then backported to S1
rustic holly
Ghost boy is right
Actually most of the map remakes have been made in S2 and backported, like Inferno and (possibly) Nuke
Atm, there are no community available tools to be able to do this, which would definitely help making custom maps look more professional.
Surprised my boy Lain was out of the loop
Now time to get back to my mapping duties!

Yeah if you need any help I might be able to sort simple probs cos I use it for Kingpin mapping
Should be a little easier to sort quake 1 / 2 profiles and compilers because they're the most commonly mapped-for games with trenchbroom
tired warren

ok real quick, I think all my files are where they need to be, but when I go to drag dusk.wad trenchbroom gives me no indication that it's loading it
quake is running fine
able to drag and drop assets from that
feral kite
Your directories are as they should be?
You know
Engine / game profile is set up
I'm not too familiar with loading .wads
mild talon
as far as i can tell, followed the subreddit guide here https://www.reddit.com/r/Dusk_The_Game/comments/f33t7u/how_to_make_maps_for_dusk/
when i go to drag the .wad into the window, it doesn't seem to recognize it
feral kite
Weird
mild talon
yeah basically
feral kite
Did you find the little tab at the bottom where you can select texture groups?
Just to be sure
mild talon
the entity browser?
mild talon
yep
feral kite
And there'll be a tab at the bottom of that you can open that SHOULD have your wads
That's how it worked in quake 1 anyway, you opened that tab and selected whichever wad file you needed
Wait
Are you trying to use dusk's wad in quake 1*
mild talon
ok
mild talon
so it's imported now, for some reason in the video on the moddb site it had them dragging into the top window of the face tab
but i had to drag into the texture collections window
only
mild talon
yeah weird af https://i.imgur.com/tyq05gF.png
feral kite
Once it is working just select a brush (shapes in your map) and then select the texture
mild talon
that bottom right window is the only place that would accept the wad :o
yep seems to be fine now, ty man
feral kite
👍
One more thing, you'll want to hide the texture collection tab once you're done so you get a better look at the textures you have
I forgot to do that first time and had a bit of a hard time scrolling lmao
Surprised dusk textures work in quake 1 tho?
feral kite
Idk
If it does let you have them they'll probably look much different cos quake 1 has a completely different palette

It's fun when you already have a solid idea what you want to do and how to do it
When you're sitting with a quarter finished map just staring at it wondering what the hell to do then yeah
rustic holly
I’d say Source might be the same, if not a little easier because of the tools. Admittedly, I have a few years experience so it really helps to be able to rely on that. I think beginner mappers/modders/devs struggle a lot when they’re starting out or just trying to wrap their heads around a new project or idea. I think experience, above all else is key in being able to make something of value with any of the tools out there at the moment.
mild talon
oh i'm just a noob and was being serious
but i'm sure my tune will change once i get really far into it
rustic holly
I think most popular tools are mostly well made. Hammer is good, most Quake editors are good, hell- Unity is good. It's what you make out of them mixed with your experience as an artist, developer, creator that will set your work apart from anything else
It's taken me like 4 years to get anywhere with my level design work
Next thing I know, I got retweeted by the lead LD at MachineGames
I think he's new there, cause his bio said he worked on Watchdogs
But the point is, just keep at it
Almost 90% of the stuff I've made, or tried to make, has been shit. You literally just have to be passionate about something, or gradually work your way into being comfortable with a certain area. I only released my first finished product ever on August 7th
mild talon
It just feels otherworldly powerful to create something in an editor then play it mere moments later. It doesn't hurt that the editor is so easy to understand
just having a real good time quake mapping atm, hoping to move onto dusk later
mild talon
is the palette file the thing that determines the entity preview in trenchbroom?
tranquil oracle
The palette file is a colour palette
Meaning, it contains the 256 colours used by the textures
mild talon
that just makes too much sense

When you're sitting with a quarter finished map just staring at it wondering what the hell to do then yeah
@shy hatch Would highly recommend this level design talk from GDC a couple years back. There's some really solid advice in there.

It's amazing in so many ways... and in others it makes you do dumb shit like this.
The whole multiplayer framework is built to support listen servers (basically p2p with one player acting as a server) except for the OnRep notify system which only fires on the clients, and there is no way to specify "yo treat the server as a client too" for this specific feature even though that's supported literally everywhere else.

I would like to create some new weapons and animations for DUSK in preparation for the full SDK release.

the only thing that i know of which supports an add-on for the format that dusk will use is blender
tranquil oracle
Yeah, Blender is the only officially supported modelling tool for IQM
Definitely not opposed to supporting more model formats though
as long as it's not FBX

awesome, and should i stick with unity for first time 3d game dev? probably gonna have a mess with trenchbroom too.

trenchbroom is sick af for first time mapping
speaking from experience
pure jackal
Jack is also that if you want pain
crystal kraken
Hammer is also that if you want crashes
unique trellis
All complex software tools are that
pure jackal
Hammer doesn't crash, worldcraft does
sharp vortex
JACK's pretty good as far as Hammer/Worldcraft-likes go
im too much of a fan of how you create brushes in it to not use it

how long has trenchbroom been around anyway? It seems really powerful even though it has a couple minor issues

@mild talon seems like a relatively recent thing

seemingly first version of trenchbroom came out in 2012

so i wanna try making a retro shooter style gameplay loop, but the thing i cant get a clear answer on how to pickup and use weapons. im working in unity. anyone know the best way to go about it?
coarse token
private void oncollisionEnter
{ if touch weapon
{give player weapon }
}
that's basically it
admittedly not in this terrible pseudocode form but still
just a boolean for whether or not the player has access to x weapon should suffice, and the boolean becomes true when they come into contact with the weapon
if it's like borderlands where each gun is different or randomly generated then that's different though.
