I know a few guys who work in this field

[royal breach]

[median mountain]

First one looks neat

[lavish hull]

still it's not that i want to see:(

[thin turret]

saucy pictures

[royal breach]

[rare magnet]

@median mountain hey sorry, i mentioned that someone forgot to put in the discs into my stalker game box, and i pinged the devs for help with bonus DVD content but they didn't respond, i was wondering if you could help link me to the bonus dvd content haha

[median mountain]

I've got that box and I don't believe it has a disc with bonus content

[shrewd kernel]

Dose any one know were that key is? This is new arsenal 5.1

never mind i found him

The guy i can buy the key off of

[rare magnet]

@median mountain back of the box:

[compact coyote]

Hey, that isn’t S.t.a.l.k.e.r!

[rare magnet]

haha, just referencing @shrewd kernel's pic

[shrewd kernel]

Mine is a bit more gruesome

[rare magnet]

yeah, that snork head

[shrewd kernel]

That gun i was using one shoted a bloodsucker with ap rounds

[fallow parcel]

whats this?

@raw helm what sorcery are you performing

[raw helm]

shoc

[fallow parcel]

shock 🤔

[raw helm]

ye, shock - because i'm not able to take any screenshot after these two... OGSR Engine is epic.

i'm getting "cannot create file" when i press F12. the same thing with bandicam

looks like i cannot break NDA...

[fallow parcel]

mb you need to restart pc

or run it through steam as a non-steam app then take screenshots through that

or just use windows screenshot tool

[raw helm]

i think discord caused some problems

@lavish hull dad! i'm taking screens in unacceptable framerate!!

[lavish hull]

You're good ma boi

Low framerate is the best!!!!!

[fallow parcel]

does anybody have a link to one of these videos

[median mountain]

Weird

[raw helm]

mb i have something on cd's. will check tommorow

[thin turret]

nice screenshots

[rare magnet]

does anybody have a link to one of these videos
@fallow parcel oh nice, you reposted my pic✌️

Weird
@median mountain what does your box say

[median mountain]

Yeah alright, I got the bonus DVD

Never looked at it, though

[rare magnet]

first time looking at it in 13 years lol

what's the filesize of the data on the DVD

[median mountain]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[rare magnet]

you have no DVD reader? lol

[median mountain]

I haven't bothered with it

[rare magnet]

could you help me out? lol
or maybe the devs can help out?

[thin turret]

[heavy elbow]

Borya
Creature from builds iirc

[finite raven]

creeps me out

[heavy elbow]

In CoC it has moveset and sound of snorks iirc

What a kind lad

[finite raven]

yeah, it was a reskinned snork, but they hid behind rocks and wanted to ambush

ok not reskinned, but same sound

[fallow parcel]

@heavy elbow NOT a build mutant

This appears in no builds nor does it appear in any design documents

This is just a modded creature

@finite raven ^

[heavy elbow]

amen

but hasnt it appeared in that mutant competition or whatever? i dont remember

[solid tinsel]

The Tark and Snork have

Not sure about it

[median mountain]

here is

sorry i fall to sleep on my desk this morning

[median mountain]

Same

[shrewd summit]

😮

[solid tinsel]

Don't worry, so did Crimson

Welp

[shrewd summit]

btw

morning to everyone

[median mountain]

Good morning

Clouds maybe moving a bit too fast

[solid tinsel]

Psure it's sped up

[median mountain]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solid tinsel]

At least looking at the fires I think that

[median mountain]

It b, yeah

[solid tinsel]

Well, from the first clip

[median mountain]

Still, seems to be pretty fast

[shrewd summit]

the cloud moving is based on random speed

in stalked they are using a static pic

in UE4 is dynamic

[median mountain]

Oh yeah

The poll

[solid tinsel]

It's made?

[median mountain]

What about it?

[solid tinsel]

Not sure if you were there but I think we agreed that he'd ping me, you or Slyth when it's there

[median mountain]

Yup

[solid tinsel]

(I think, this was all at like 5AM lmao)

[shrewd summit]

😂

[solid tinsel]

I don't see anything on the community tab so guess not

[median mountain]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solid tinsel]

Ngl, lowkey wack how all the comments in Ivan's video are Russian lol

[median mountain]

Oof

[shrewd summit]

I forgot to say

the good news

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

now i have the best video quality on youtube

vp9

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

i don't need to render the video and use black magic

now 1080p looks good

[median mountain]

Looks pretty hi-res, yeah

[shrewd summit]

[solid tinsel]

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

I think they unlock that based on the channel views maybe

[lone spear]

yeah i think I remember hearing something about that, but I was always able to upload in 1080p so not sure if it may have to do with account age

[fallow parcel]

@shrewd summit do you plan on using soc ost only or a mix of soc and cop stuff?

[shrewd summit]

yeah i think I remember hearing something about that, but I was always able to upload in 1080p so not sure if it may have to do with account age
@lone spear It's not the 1080p, the problem is the quality of the video format, to get the best quality you need to have VP9

@shrewd summit do you plan on using soc ost only or a mix of soc and cop stuff?
@fallow parcel right now soc only

will be also really easy for me to work on the other remake

because when i will complete the first one

[fallow parcel]

Good, I was curious because your cnpp video used zaton music

[shrewd summit]

i will have already the AI and all the assets

i used zaton music because looks so good

with that

[fallow parcel]

You could probably make cs and cop even better if you plan on extending a-life in soc ue4

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

well

i didn't work on the AI in these days

i was more working on the levels

and on the chimera

i will make a video on the chimera

i will try try to kill the chimera

( now looks better )

it's too fast and dangerous

I created a killing machine

[fallow parcel]

Maybe add a cooldown for when it can lunge?

Is it cop style chimera or OL/soc? I believe they have different animations

[ornate rock]

i have a question

[lone spear]

shoot

[median mountain]

What's up?

[ornate rock]

are the NPCs going to move between levels like in SoC ?

was a question for ivan

[median mountain]

@shrewd summit

[ornate rock]

i dont think they did in CS and CoP

i always thought it was cool seeing a stalker in one level and 2 days later finding them lounging in another like in OL

or any AMK variant

[shrewd summit]

are the NPCs going to move between levels like in SoC ?
@ornate rock Yes

using the logic yes

i need to work to implement that

With UE4 you can do everything

[fallow parcel]

@shrewd summit I keep trying to tell people that UE4 is extremely flexible and is the best choice for stalker 2, but people have stockholm syndrome for xray

hopefully your project can help dispel the irrational hate for UE4

or increase it

[shrewd summit]

lots of people don't understand how an engine works

[solid tinsel]

X-Ray 2.0!!!1!

[shrewd summit]

Xray it's an old engine

[solid tinsel]

It's 2 decades old at this point

[shrewd summit]

It's dead and there is a reason if GSC use UE4

UE4 will be the new standard

[fallow parcel]

it was also outdated by the time it came out too

and is extremely finnicky

[shrewd summit]

there is always new update

and new technology

[solid tinsel]

It was basically 10 years old by the time of CoP/old s2 I believe

[shrewd summit]

also the support for DX12 and vulkan

i will also release a linux version

[fallow parcel]

and has unstable SDKs, how do you make a game with SDKs that crash?

[shrewd summit]

i can also make a port for the console very easly

or Android

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

they are using Xray from maybe 20 years ago

when an engine is old

is old

they did the right choice

people don't like changes

[fallow parcel]

i wonder if stalker 2 is gonna be moved up to UE5, i know UE4.25 projects can be moved up to it mostly fine according to epic games

[shrewd summit]

but they need to understand that using new engine is better

[median mountain]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shrewd summit]

UE4 to UE5 will be converted very easily

[fallow parcel]

UE5 lighting looks absolutely mental

[solid tinsel]

Hopefully those don't become empty words

[median mountain]

It do look mental

Way too bright

[shrewd summit]

It's a matter of time that i will use UE5

[median mountain]

[fallow parcel]

ivan is the only rational stalker fan

confirmed

[solid tinsel]

Kek

[shrewd summit]

thanks ❤️

HAhahahhaha

[median mountain]

Kek indeed

[shrewd summit]

also UE5 will have a better Performance = 64k textures

[median mountain]

[fallow parcel]

I expect UE5 to be super well optimized by default

[solid tinsel]

For some reason I think that it's going to have some issues

Idk why but I've just got this negative hunch about Epic recently

[median mountain]

Would be pretty wack

[solid tinsel]

Hopefully it will be fine

[fallow parcel]

though obviously optimization will still lean on the developer itself as well

[solid tinsel]

Welp, unless GSC lied, their devs are professionals apparently

[median mountain]

We'll have to see about that

[solid tinsel]

Hopefully soon we will

[median mountain]

Probably

Seems like GSC is more Online now

[solid tinsel]

Yeah, even Tapik spoke in the s2 chat today

[median mountain]

Yep

[solid tinsel]

DKUD joined GSC, then Fenec and it's slightly going uphill since, apart the Sand Man deal

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

UE4 is easy to understand, you need to understand. I also learn everything by myself.

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

i start to work with UE4 in 2018 i think

before i was working with Unity

but i switched to ue4

[shrewd summit]

BTw i found a new NPC to add to my game

a new super hero

[median mountain]

Friar?

[shrewd summit]

him

Bad ass!

He disarmed 4 police officer

[median mountain]

Lmao

[shrewd summit]

I was thinking was a meme

but now i can see it's real

[median mountain]

Yeah, it's real

Pretty wack

[shrewd summit]

He's a Loner

in the forest

[raw helm]

mb volumetric, mb not-so-volumetric
fu static skyboxes

#procedural4life

[pallid apex]

That guy looks like Azot's secret brother

[dense prism]

Я всегда знал что minecraft это stalker

Кстати такие облака очень просто сделать.

[raw helm]

tell this to lost alpha devs who ported stuff from SEUS/other shaderpacks to their new project

if developing was so easy, that devs would actually do something on their own sorry for truth, but maybe they are vasyans

[median mountain]

@shrewd summit
So apparently, polls are now removed from YT

[shrewd summit]

What

omg

[median mountain]

Yeah

Pretty wack

Was a good feature

No clue why they deleted it

[shrewd summit]

i tyr

try

and for me it's still available

[solid tinsel]

Reddit has a pool option just in case, but pretty sure Yt does as well

[median mountain]

Huh

It says it removed it

Just checked IGN, just to be sure

And they've still got it

So you should also be able to get it

[solid tinsel]

Yep, polls exist

[shrewd summit]

Maybe they remove that for the channel that doesn't have enough sub?

[solid tinsel]

Nah that can't be right

[shrewd summit]

i will upload a video on the chimera

[median mountain]

Check out if you can make a poll about it

[shrewd summit]

Now the monsters will have the orientation from the floor

[median mountain]

Problem is, you can only select one option

[solid tinsel]

Well, worst case scenario the reddit exists

And he can always link that

[median mountain]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solid tinsel]

Or make a regular straw poll

[median mountain]

Yeah

One that doesn't yeet us, that is

[shrewd summit]

i can make how many i want

[median mountain]

Nice

[solid tinsel]

Crimson being wack with this

[median mountain]

Me b

[shrewd summit]

😂

[solid tinsel]

Also wdym one that doesn't yeet us?

[median mountain]

Remember last time?

[solid tinsel]

I don't believe so

[median mountain]

Doxxed

[solid tinsel]

Oh right lmao

Yeah I had a different idea by yeeted

[median mountain]

What would that be?

[solid tinsel]

Just sort of somehow banned from voting or something like that

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

my Paint Level master

[median mountain]

O

Nice feature, I'd say

[shrewd summit]

people can understand what i am doing

the monsters change the Angulation in base of their and of the floor location

[solid tinsel]

I appreciate this extremely straight line

[median mountain]

Thought so

[shrewd summit]

HAHAHAHHAHA

[median mountain]

Heh

[solid tinsel]

Seems neat though

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

because i see that also in SOC

monster don't have the Angulation change

they are always moving in the plane direction

[median mountain]

Thought they have?

Might just be my memory of CS and CoP

[shrewd summit]

I played stalker this morning at 5 am

before i go to sleep

i noticed that

[median mountain]

SoC, I assume

[solid tinsel]

“sleep”

crashes at the computer

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

or maybe i was sleeping and i imagined that

[median mountain]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solid tinsel]

Well, dreams or not, if you make it better in any way, that is always nice and appreciated

[median mountain]

[solid tinsel]

[shrewd summit]

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

[fallow parcel]

agroprom?

[median mountain]

Agroprom

I'm seeing a Chimera

[fallow parcel]

could have a bit less of an blue filter tho

and less flowers

way to happy for stalker soc

[oblique summit]

Yes

[median mountain]

Yeah, way less flowers

[shrewd summit]

Still work in progress i will send new screenshots later

[fallow parcel]

good work tho

[shrewd summit]

I have a problem with the occ in the game

i need to see why isn't working

like in the cordon

[fallow parcel]

what is an occ

[shrewd summit]

Looks good now

what is an occ
@fallow parcel
Ambient Occlusion

[fallow parcel]

talking about Ambient Occlusion

this whole place looks like its in a very blue shadow

not wearly natural

[shrewd summit]

Can't change that

if it's more white you can't see that

if you notice in most UE4 games is presented an effect like this

[median mountain]

All of his screenshots have that

Personally not a fan, but w/e

[solid tinsel]

Pretty flowers

[shrewd summit]

I will try to find a way to use something different

in the future

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

You can see the difference

[dense prism]

@shrewd summit Зачем Зону делать такой цветастой? Старайтесь быть приближенным к оригиналу, который на данный момент выглядит честно говоря лучше.

[shrewd summit]

https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Actors/FogEffects/HeightFog/index.html

[fallow parcel]

so its fog and not lighting

[shrewd summit]

fog

I removed the lighting from the old videos because was too much

( thanks critics ❤️ )

[solid tinsel]

I believe this is what ICD said:
Why would you make the Zone such colorful? Try to be close to the original, which at the moment looks honestly better.

[median mountain]

Yeah, but yours looks way more dense

[shrewd summit]

original like this?

[dense prism]

colorful and flowerful)

I believe this is what ICD said:
Why would you make the Zone such colorful? Try to be close to the original, which at the moment looks honestly better.

[shrewd summit]

Yeah, but yours looks way more dense
@median mountain The level is not big like that

you will see the end of the mesh

[median mountain]

Yeah

[shrewd summit]

there is a reason if i added that also in CNPP

[median mountain]

Just needs to be covered up

CNPP makes sense, actually

I'd say keep it on there

The other maps? Not as much

[shrewd summit]

I already try to lower that on other maps

wait i show you

[median mountain]

you will see the end of the mesh

Can be covered up later with trees and bushes

[shrewd summit]

Can be covered up later with trees and bushes
@median mountain everything you place in the distance and that's is visible eats performance

[median mountain]

True

[fallow parcel]

you should still have an ultra graphics setting for the ppl who can run it

[shrewd summit]

My laptop is getting 60fps

but not everyone have PC component for last year

[fallow parcel]

bummer

[shrewd summit]

I want as many people possible to be able to play the game

also not everyone have money for PC components

i also have someone here that have a medium spec PC

if he can play the game at 30 fps that's good

[fallow parcel]

i supous you simply need to optimise it?

[shrewd summit]

You can optimize a game how much you want

but old PC components will struggle to run the game

The game engine always receive new update and also graphics cards receive the update

a computer from 3-4 years old doesn't get the new video driver

I have a friend that he player Fortnite before without any problem with a pc from 2018 and he bought that PC with 1300 euros

now he's struggling to run the game

because he doesn't have any GPU drivers update and also the game change Engine now requires new spec

[fallow parcel]

On the subject of colors: the original soc had very orange weather with a blue hue that's pretty constant throughout the game

Do you plan on keeping that?

[shrewd summit]

Stalker had a static Sky Cubemap that was changing during the game

the sky that i am using is fully dynamic

I try to import the Sky from stalker to UE4

but was looking so bad

I thing i found a solution

wait

[fallow parcel]

that looks nice

[shrewd summit]

Firt pic is at 8 am and the second pic is at 12 am

[fallow parcel]

tho: you know how all sky except the one in rostok was fully clouded?

[shrewd summit]

Looks better now?

[median mountain]

That first picture is basically Stalker during the day but darker

[shrewd summit]

7 am sunny day

[median mountain]

Good

[shrewd summit]

7 am total cloudy

[median mountain]

CS vibes

[shrewd summit]

7 am Cloud day

[median mountain]

Looks kinda dark

Darker than a cloudy day in STALKER

Or IRL

[shrewd summit]

Looks kinda dark
@median mountain It's full of cloud the sky

I can also see it's better than before

thanks everyone

❤️

wait i try another settings

[median mountain]

Darker than a cloudy day in STALKER
Or IRL

[fallow parcel]

I'd imagine low res skyboxes being imported to a modern engine doesn't work well

[shrewd summit]

the 7 am with clear clouds looks better now?

I'd imagine low res skyboxes being imported to a modern engine doesn't work well
@fallow parcel i used the skybox from Soc ( but was low res) and i used later a high res sky from a mod

but it wasn't looking good

Looks better now?

[median mountain]

the 7 am with clear clouds looks better now?

CS vibes, I love it

[shrewd summit]

Good

a problem is solved

let's try now at 1-2-3 PM

13 pm cloud

13 pm clear sky

[median mountain]

13 pm cloud

Could be a bit lighter

13 pm clear sky

Could be a bit less white

[shrewd summit]

Could be a bit lighter
@median mountain I can't that because the light need to go thought the clouds and i am also using the Shadow from the clouds

Wait i try something

[median mountain]

Ah, so UE works like that?

[solid tinsel]

I don't think it's just UE

[median mountain]

I've seen games using sun light and map light separately

[ornate rock]

are you guys trying to make it look vanilla?

like in SoC?

[median mountain]

Not sure, honestly

[shrewd summit]

I think i found a solution

[median mountain]

I'd love for it to look like Vanilla, due to it looking pretty realistic

[shrewd summit]

I will show that in a video

and looks a lot better

[ornate rock]

can the fog color change?

[median mountain]

Pretty sure it can

[ornate rock]

in vanilla it does that throughout the day

mornings and sunsets it looks different

the sky color always matches fog

so it blends well

GSC vanilla did a good job i think

[median mountain]

It definitely did

[solid tinsel]

I agree

[ornate rock]

was playing vanilla CoP earlier

took this

[median mountain]

Meh

I'd rather look at SoC's or CS' weather

[solid tinsel]

Kek

CS for me

[median mountain]

CoP's is sorta lacking

[solid tinsel]

CoP a bit bland

[ornate rock]

the idea though im making is the fog wasnt white it matches the sky

so it all blends together

gives it atmosphere

[median mountain]

That's honestly just view distance

After a certain range, it'll just fade out

Definitely not a bad choice

[fallow parcel]

@shrewd summit btw one inconsistency that the games have is the stuff you see out of bounds

in shadow of chernobyl its just an endless void

meanwhile in pripyat you got stuff like the skyline of pripyat in jupiter

[ornate rock]

what about this

[fallow parcel]

i'd suggest doing something similar to pripyat by adding skyboxes or something like that so the void doesn't stand out when you're on that high tower in agroprom for example

[shrewd summit]

I found the problem was the cloud shadow

[fallow parcel]

Cop just looks really bad

[median mountain]

Ah

[fallow parcel]

Cs is bland

[median mountain]

Cop just looks really bad

Pmuch

[fallow parcel]

soc is unforgettable

[median mountain]

Cs is bland

Not really

soc is unforgettable

Yes

[fallow parcel]

if anything clear sky is just upscaled soc with some particles and better lighting thrown in

cs has really weak weather compared to soc

Clear sky has much flatter and weaker sun lighting

but it introduced volumetric light and godrays

so i guess thats a worthy payoff

Irrelevant because OGSR engine has cop rendering for soc

doesn't matter because atmosfear is a must in all games

So we can have godrays in soc now

[shrewd summit]

new pic

uplaoding

[fallow parcel]

who even discusses stalker graphics

[median mountain]

CoP rendering with godrays?

[solid tinsel]

who even discusses stalker graphics
They stalker community?

[shrewd summit]

7 am cloud

[median mountain]

Better

[shrewd summit]

7 am partially cloud

[fallow parcel]

as long as they managed atmosphere it wearly didnt mather

[shrewd summit]

7 am clear sky

Now looks a lot better

[fallow parcel]

@shrewd summit oh yeah, canonically when is UE4 stalker set in

if its after soc you should add some signs of battle in northern agroprom

from the mole fight

[solid tinsel]

It's SoC, Ainsley

[median mountain]

7 am cloud

Weird, you can still see the light and the shadows

[fallow parcel]

oh

[solid tinsel]

SoC but with his own twists on it

[fallow parcel]

add the battle stuff anyway

[median mountain]

[shrewd summit]

Weird, you can still see the light and the shadows
@median mountain If i add more shadow it will be like before

[fallow parcel]

and another idea i had floating around is that you should add the remains of the loner base in northern agroprom from clear sky

[shrewd summit]

where are the flesh?

[lavish hull]

@shrewd summit a ton of cool screens again

[shrewd summit]

in the farm?

[median mountain]

If i add more shadow it will be like before

But if it's cloudy, shouldn't there be no shadows and no (connecting) light?

[fallow parcel]

@shrewd summit that aswell

[shrewd summit]

2 cloud layer

before was 1

It's better

[median mountain]

Second one is with 2 layers, right?

[shrewd summit]

both are with 2 layer

[solid tinsel]

[median mountain]

What's the difference, then?

One of them is lighter and the other is darker

I think I'm liking the second one better

[shrewd summit]

you can see the cloud difference

[solid tinsel]

Yes but I think he means what did you actually change in the setting and whatnot to make them different

[median mountain]

Basically ^

[fallow parcel]

Are the skyboxes/clouds procedural, or textures?

[shrewd summit]

Are the skyboxes/clouds procedural, or textures?
@fallow parcel procedural material

[fallow parcel]

Based

Procedural skyboxes are nice

[shrewd summit]

7-8 AM looks good

We need to fix am 12 ---> 15 pm

[median mountain]

I'd be glad to give feedback

Or well, my opinion on the looks

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lavish hull]

Everything looks good tbh
But i suggest you to reduce fog intensity in extra sunny weather

[ornate rock]

@lavish hull that could be it

[lavish hull]

it would be even better without this extreme fog on this weather
Should be clean af

[ornate rock]

you dont want to remove the fog completely though

[lavish hull]

everything is beautiful btw

[ornate rock]

with no fog it looks cheap

[lavish hull]

there's should be fog yes
But not that strong

[median mountain]

Definitely not this dense

[lavish hull]

Yep

[shrewd summit]

It's 7 am

[lavish hull]

In super sunny weather

[shrewd summit]

to make the light scattering

[ornate rock]

can you change fog distance?

[shrewd summit]

Without that looks so empty

can you change fog distance?
@ornate rock 7 am?

[ornate rock]

i mean the distance the fog is from the player

[lavish hull]

You should use fog yep
But you need to move it a little bit and make it less dense

and it will be excellent

[ornate rock]

in vanilla SoC its usually around 350 meters away

[raw helm]

yo, if it's procedural then huge respect. f static skyboxes

Do not compare shoc fog to exponential one - it's totally different thing

[ornate rock]

yea i guess thats true

[lavish hull]

It's different yeah

but it can have less dense and height (height is fine on this screenshots)

ngl this screens looks awesome for me

[shrewd summit]

How i could share my desktop here?

[lavish hull]

hmm
You should enter a stream chat probably

[median mountain]

How i could share my desktop here?

Join VC and start a stream

[shrewd summit]

better than uploading 12313 pictures

VC?

[median mountain]

Voice Channel

[lavish hull]

scroll down

there's voice channels

[median mountain]

Alright

There's an option to your left bottom corner that says "Screen"

[shrewd summit]

It's working?

[lavish hull]

Yep

[median mountain]

Yup

[shrewd summit]

i can't hear anyone?

you can hear me?

[lavish hull]

Everyone is in silence

[median mountain]

Nope, it's push to talk

[shrewd summit]

[median mountain]

You also have your mic muted

[raw helm]

scattering

[ornate rock]

if you dont want to chat i would pop out video and chat here

[shrewd summit]

The light scattering is from 0.2

[ornate rock]

voice i mean

[shrewd summit]

i am talking

you can't hear me?

[raw helm]

you got micro muted

[lavish hull]

Yeah

In th bottom

[median mountain]

Yeah, your mic is muted

[lavish hull]

Around your avatar

You can unmute your mic

[shrewd summit]

Discord can't find my mic

[median mountain]

Wack

[shrewd summit]

i can't unmute

btw

wait

[median mountain]

Should be in here, somewhere

https://gyazo.com/15860664138547702a4253475bbc6609

[shrewd summit]

i am there

it can't find the mic

[lavish hull]

It should be press to talk mode enabled too

Weirdooo

[solid tinsel]

If you want to talk, go to talk 3 channel

[median mountain]

Yeah

[shrewd summit]

btw

wait

[solid tinsel]

You can talk without push to talk there

[shrewd summit]

i can hear someone

but my pc can't find the mic

come talk

[median mountain]

@shrewd summit
Can you open the stream again?

[shrewd summit]

i will work on the game changing the value

[solid tinsel]

We have reached the limit

[median mountain]

Kek

[lavish hull]

Wat

Hahaha

[solid tinsel]

I play rasha stalker lmao

[shrewd summit]

looks better now?

[lavish hull]

Gagaha

[median mountain]

[lavish hull]

Hahaha

Yee

[solid tinsel]

Can you open the stream again?

[median mountain]

Can you open the stream again?

[solid tinsel]

You joined a different channel so you need to start it again, Ivan

[shrewd summit]

it's working?

[median mountain]

Yup

Are you talking?

[lavish hull]

Can you tell something

[shrewd summit]

my mic is not working

[lavish hull]

Oh

[shrewd summit]

i have to see later why

[solid tinsel]

Rip

[median mountain]

Dang

[solid tinsel]

:(

[shrewd summit]

please talk

let me knwo if looks better now

[solid tinsel]

It looks like this because Discord limits the stream

Making it hard to tell

[lavish hull]

Yo we can hear sound from editor

[solid tinsel]

Discord is trying to slow you down :(

Nah it's not that

Discord limits the quality to 720P

[shrewd summit]

OMG

[lavish hull]

And 30 fps

Without nitro

[solid tinsel]

Yeah, it's really annoying

[lavish hull]

Ffffff

[median mountain]

The server is Nitro Boosted, though

[lavish hull]

Bruh

Really

[median mountain]

But that don't do squat

[shrewd summit]

how looks now?

[ornate rock]

https://prnt.sc/tifluq

[lavish hull]

You should recreate stream

With 108060

[ornate rock]

it shouldnt be limited to 720p

[median mountain]

Looks kinda dark, to be honest

[solid tinsel]

Tfw this is a tier 1 perk but it sucks

[lavish hull]

Should be better

[raw helm]

whats up with tonemapping there? white is saturate af

[shrewd summit]

i can't show in live streaming

[median mountain]

Dang

[shrewd summit]

saturate?

whre?

[median mountain]

He means the fog, I assume

[lavish hull]

It's quality problems

In discord

Not tonemapping problem i guess

Didn't seen any problem here

[shrewd summit]

yes it's true

720p

30 fps

and low bitrate

[raw helm]

nah, just overall graphics, color balance contrast etc. reminds me about incorrect tonemapping in CS

[median mountain]

CS doesn't look like that

Just an UE problem, I guess

[lavish hull]

Color balance something around cold/violet for me

[shrewd summit]

every engine have different color

you can see the difference from varies engine

[raw helm]

maybe

[shrewd summit]

UE4 and unity i can tell the difference

btw i set the fog density to 0.01

before was 0.02

wait

[median mountain]

Can we get a screenshot?

[ornate rock]

is it possible to set distance?

[lavish hull]

-entering voice chat
-everyone:
muted

[shrewd summit]

i am uploading some screenshots

[median mountain]

Alrighty

[shrewd summit]

is it possible to set distance?
@ornate rock yes

but could possibly make artifacts

i try that before

[lavish hull]

it should be a little bit less dense

everything is okay

except the distance of the fog

it's super close for this weather

[median mountain]

Yeah

[ornate rock]

yea like i said in vanilla SoC its always about 250 meters from player

350

[lavish hull]

it's not about vanilla
so lets talk about ue

[median mountain]

Actually

[shrewd summit]

I love the Xray engine, use different colors

[ornate rock]

hes trying to get it close to vanilla

[shrewd summit]

fog 0.01

[ornate rock]

this looks good

[lavish hull]

fog 0.01 is a way better

[median mountain]

Ivan, do you want to make your STALKER look like Vanilla or Cinematic like UE?

[solid tinsel]

Probs mix

[shrewd summit]

Ivan, do you want to make your STALKER look like Vanilla or Cinematic like UE?
@median mountain I am trying to find the best settings

[lavish hull]

and now lets move it a little bit farther

[median mountain]

Vanilla it is

[lavish hull]

just a little bit

[shrewd summit]

fog 0.02

[median mountain]

Honestly, the sun on this one could be a bit more brighter

[lavish hull]

nope stay with 0.01

[median mountain]

More colorful

[lavish hull]

it's cool

[median mountain]

0.01

Definitely

[solid tinsel]

0.02 sort of reminds me of a filter

So yeah, 0.01

[lavish hull]

yep and about sun
It should be really shiny

for this type of weather

like in real life
Sun is shiny af
Eyes is crying

xD

like this

[solid tinsel]

Dobrov just actually used xD in a useful way...wow

[shrewd summit]

0.01 is ok?

[lavish hull]

yep

[solid tinsel]

Yee

[median mountain]

Yep

[lavish hull]

then move it farther a little bit

for next wall

[shrewd summit]

0.1 you ask for that 😄

[lavish hull]

xD

[median mountain]

Okay, no wait

I've got a chad suggestion

0,007

[lavish hull]

0.1 is cool for foggy weather really

[shrewd summit]

looks really cool

[median mountain]

But yeah

Ivan, at what time is this?

[shrewd summit]

7 AM

[median mountain]

In the morning, huh?

[shrewd summit]

i can hear you

yes

[lavish hull]

can you try my advice please?
About fog
density - 0.01 (is okay, can be even 0.005-9)
height - a little bit lower to make morning like fog
distance - a little bit farther (1.5x farther)

[median mountain]

Could the color of the sun be increased?

It should be a bit more orange in the morning

[ornate rock]

what is this?

[median mountain]

How do you mean?

[ornate rock]

0.01?

[shrewd summit]

fog 0.1

[median mountain]

Ah

[shrewd summit]

😂

but it's too much

[median mountain]

Try 0.007, if it's possible

[solid tinsel]

Thank you Dobrov

[lavish hull]

FBI OPEN UP

[shrewd summit]

0.007 is disabled

[median mountain]

[solid tinsel]

Great sound effects lmao

[median mountain]

Oh

So it stops at 0.01?

[shrewd summit]

under 0.01 is disabled

[median mountain]

I see

0.01, I guess

[ornate rock]

foggy mornings actually dont look bad but the fog should change to 0.01 during noon times

my opinion ofcourse

[median mountain]

@lavish hull
Are you human?

[lavish hull]

[solid tinsel]

Dobrov you good?

[median mountain]

[solid tinsel]

Your wife sounded angry

[lavish hull]

Yes its me

[median mountain]

Dang it, I don't have a mic, so I can't say hi

[solid tinsel]

I've too much background noise

[median mountain]

Heh

Anyways

[solid tinsel]

Highway life

[median mountain]

I think that the color of the sun could be more orange in the morning

[shrewd summit]

13pm partially cloud

[lavish hull]

can you try my advice please?
About fog
density - 0.01 (is okay, can be even 0.005-9)
height - a little bit lower to make morning like fog
distance - a little bit farther (1.5x farther)

bro

check it

[median mountain]

Looks decent

Fog kinda wack, but that's an engine limitation

[lavish hull]

if it can be a little bit farther

LVutner печатает...

[raw helm]

Fog kinda wack, but that's an engine limitation
you can replace just fogging code, without losing features like scattering

[lavish hull]

[median mountain]

[raw helm]

tried CS tonemapping, and ACES on some random photo

left - no tonemap
middle - cs tonemap
right - aces tonemap

[lavish hull]

Lvutner gdzie twój mic

[raw helm]

thanks gsc for awesome tonemap

nie ma, ukrali

[lavish hull]

ukradli aaaaaaaaaaa

reinhard is cool too btw

[shrewd summit]

i set the fog color

finally

White

[median mountain]

Nice

[raw helm]

aces is the best one. looks cool, you can tweak curve without problems

aces for life

[shrewd summit]

will be always White

it's not blue anymore

[lavish hull]

cool

[shrewd summit]

Looks a lot better now

Thanks god

I am uploading the screenshot

[median mountain]

Nice

[lavish hull]

show us

[lavish hull]

yep now it's balanced

[median mountain]

Still looks kinda bright

[shrewd summit]

looks awesome in the morning

[raw helm]

it's good

[median mountain]

And bland

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ornate rock]

what time is this?

[lavish hull]

yep it's cool

[shrewd summit]

what time is this?
@ornate rock 13pm

[lavish hull]

but can you move fog a little bit farther?

a little bit

[shrewd summit]

7 Am

looks fantastic now! thanks guys!

[lavish hull]
