sigh

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Spoiled by hotlinking :P

lol disney..

user146722

So I take it you can't just download IW engine?

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

6:16 PM

user146722

You have to rip apart a call of duty?

rip it apart?

user146722

Yeah like cut out all their stuff and replace it

IW doesn't sell or make public their engine that I'm aware of.

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

I think it may be a better idea to just write a game from scratch in that case. :P

6:17 PM

or use an engine that lets you mess with it more, like Unreal

user146722

Lol, I'm trying to avoid all that work of doing the same 99% of shit everyone else has

Unreal Tournament is fully moddable.

user146722

oooooo

You could break into their office and steal the source code

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

I've reverse engineered Warcraft III for years. But it's just for the exercise. It's not really a sensible approach to anything. :P

user146722

6:17 PM

hahahahahaha Unreal Engine ... Unreal Tourney... connected. Gotcha

(I've even written a mutator for it... a mine launcher that replaced the flak gun)

launched proximity mines

alt fire - hold to set a timed charge

if you hold for 2 sec, it goes off 2 sec after release

8 sec was max time

user146722

@William'MindWorX'Mariager You mean you've been working on it for years? Or you've been doing games that way for years?

so you could launch an 8 sec then a 4 sec then a 2 sec then RUN

oh almo, no one cares

user146722

Hey, I care

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

6:18 PM

@SelflessPsychopath I've been working on it for years. :P

I wrote it as part of my job application to Digital Extremes.

no one who matters cares.

I CARE AND I MATTER

lol jk

:D

6:19 PM

i wrote a functino that adds two integers together, and returns the sum

I called it SumTwoNumbers

@Almo I wasn't going to believe you but then I realized you didn't start your sentence with "well" - that's how I know you're telling the truth

hahah :)

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Well, are you sure?

Well maybe

user146722

well you're not going to send me all your money and identity information, @SpartanDonut

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

6:20 PM

Wait what?

Well, the well water is polluted.

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Well enough

Well alright

Well, how I feel, i am.

user146722

Well this sentence starts with well

6:22 PM

Welliam said enough!

Well, I wish you well building that well.

some Underworld:

Underworld - Trim

got any stuff with lyrics?

user146722

@Jon I'm still mad at you because I really do say "Well" all the time

well, its a known fact that you are lying a lot

6:23 PM

I'm mad at Jon because he actually does productive things with his spare time

lol wut y

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

He does?

user146722

Ha. ha. jon really I use "well" as a prefix very often, even when being completely honest.

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Well, so do I.

I'm not actually mad. I'm just saying I'm mad about something stupid because I thought that's what we were moving onto

6:24 PM

Jon is a game development monster.

Well Jon is known to spew a lot of bullshit

i just don't actually make finished games

I spew and I brew

@Jon Except Picross Touch

I can't say LowDown is finished yet, but I might call it so soon

I need to finish up the color version.. so unmotivated

6:25 PM

another couple weeks.

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

@SpartanDonut No you're stupid.

How mad u r bro?

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

r u*

user146722

Oh, how thou art so mad, bretheren

I was referencing... probably a very niche meme

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

6:26 PM

@SpartanDonut You're a niche meme.

user146722

Halp!

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

user146722

I installed Unity on my windows PC and I feel dead in the water now

some guy on reddit is trying to tell me that Unity doesn't support Dictionaries

Hahahah

6:28 PM

I could swear i just wrote an entire world gen implementation using Dictionaries as my main container

Naw. I must of dreamt that.

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Well, you're wrong.

Kevin van der Velden

Yeah, you do have an over active imagination

@SelflessPsychopath What do you want to do?

@Jon hahah wtf!

user146722

FPS with gungame rules

6:29 PM

reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/32zpm9/…

Go comment please.

user146722

Does anyone have a sample FPS on Unity I can have for free

yes

user146722

I'll leave your name on the credits or whatever lol

the 2D assets have one built in

Import the 2D Assets lib, and only check FPS Prefab and script

Then just drag a font to the prefab

user146722

Really, the only 3D ones I saw cost money

6:30 PM

lol

google man

noobtuts.com/unity/first-person-shooter-game

it's your friend

WOULD YOU PAY FOR AN FPS COUNTER?

user146722

ok brb

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

I HAVE AN FPS COUNTER!

FPS IS GREAT FOR MEASUREMENTSES!

man if you can't figure out how to write an fps counter, you shouldn't be writing games pistachio

Anyways, you don't need a 3d fps counter either.

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

6:35 PM

I prefer 1d fps counters.

heh, i could do one

_ _ _ __ ___ _ _ __ _

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

:P

Ever played Wolfenstein 1d? :P

yeah

for like 4 seconds

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

That was pretty silly.

Hah, I played it for like 6 or 7 :D

Swords and Solders is effectively a 1D RTS. It's quite fun.

apparently to make an RTS work with a console controller.

in 1D, there's no need to give orders, since your troops can only go toward the opponent one possible way.

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

6:37 PM

I remember playing Starcraft on console :P

so no group selection issues in the interface.

really nice game. three factions, rushes, turtles, everything.

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

user image

Starcraft 64 :P

++

I still need to give Swords and Soldiers a go

Pretty sure I own it

Kevin van der Velden

@Jon he has a point, there's no specific support for it in the unity editor =p

yeah but his argument is pretty ridiculous

The entire reason he brought it up, was for the comment above it

Telling the other guy that Dictionaries shouldn't be used because they are not supported

Kevin van der Velden

6:42 PM

Yeah true, I didn't read the context yet

That's dumb

Argh. Still can't figure out how to make the camera move towards a point on the screen.

2d or 3d?

2D technically

But the camera moves in (fake) 3D to achieve parallax and such

Meh. Programming purists and their debates aren't things I like to be involved in. I have a very strong belief that if your solution works for what you need it for then it's more than good enough.

The argument does get a little different when you create a generic solution for more people but... I don't think it warrants all the hate

I'm looking at your question right now

I'm afraid I don't understand the faffing about with "focal length"

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

6:47 PM

@Lokkij Store the target position. Each frame you move towards the target position like currentPosition = (targetPosition - currentPosition) * 0.10.

@Almo Me neither, it's something someone else wrote. But it works.

:(

woa. Christopher Nolan and his attention to detail.

Q: Why did the Joker take the risk of placing a gun in Harvey Dent's hand?

After Harvey Dent's face got burned and his fiancée was killed in The Dark Knight, the Joker goes to the hospital and gives Harvey Dent a gun to give Dent an opportunity to kill the Joker. Why was The Joker so sure that Harvey would not pull the trigger? Is there a chance that gun was indeed emp...

character the-dark-knight

I don't think I've ever written 2d camera code like that. :(

Sorry I can't be of more help

I love that movie

Thanks for trying anyway. :)

Sure :)

6:51 PM

It seems like something that has been solved many times before but I haven't been able to find much ablult it.

Kevin van der Velden

@Almo because he's fricking insane

Read the accepted answer.

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

Also: because he's fricking insane

hahaha

bastard you made me snort while laughing.

I don't do that often, but I hate when it happens with other people around

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

I just imagined you doing it. So it's almost like someone is around :P

6:53 PM

:D

But I'm at work in an open plan office :)

Kevin van der Velden

Hmm, I think Mick quit stack exchange

Ever since that side project that went and did the hip chat thing or whatever it was I haven't seen him or hobo

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

I'm pretty sure I saw a starred post of his just a few days ago

Kevin van der Velden

Naah, he made some uwarrented claims 30 days ago, I called him out on those, he got pissy, I eventually ignored him and he went on a flagging spree against me

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

With that annoying model with the face.

6:55 PM

user image

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

But it seems the star was removed.

Kevin van der Velden

So he got timed out, then he made socks and got banned for 30 days

@William'MindWorX'Mariager I think that was Alex showing up randomly again

@William'MindWorX'Mariager that's Alex M. not Mick who posted that face a lot

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Oh, right.

Kevin van der Velden

6:55 PM

See also, "last seen 30d ago"

I missed that drama

Jon... are you being a game dev monster again?

what's this chain stuff you're posting?

I was sitting here thinking.. i should make a chain in unity

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

The gif froze for me.

hahaha Looks nice

Kevin van der Velden

6:56 PM

Isn't he always a game dev monster... oh there are chains involved? Iiiinteresting

Paperclips: The Game

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Goes to the top then stops.

I made a rope for a proto on the Wii once

hmm.. click it and hit F5 maybe.

worked reasonably well

6:57 PM

Yeah I think i'm gonna write a rope now

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

"I see you're trying to write a greeting"

"Would you like to insert your name?"

Btw, Google told me I was a Coral today. I'm not sure how to react to that.

Kevin van der Velden

Google told me I'm a (komodo) dragon. I am okay with that
