If most are deprecated, what's so good in DirectX 12 that everyone is so hyped about?
 
user4704
D3D12.
 
DH.
Oh OK
 
:D
 
user4704
D3D12 is really the only thing in DX12 that is different or new.
 
Guys, do you know if it counts for a pirate if you've found a free key of a game online?
 
user4704
7:01 PM
Because there's nothing else really worth pushing DX, even Microsoft is starting to conflate the two terms.
 
user4704
@sn0k3 Maybe.
 
Was it released by a person authorized by the game company to release it?
 
@sn0k3 I'd say yes
multiple people using same key = piracy
 
Because I've found SC1 key, but I'm not sure should I use it xD
 
user4704
Depends where. Sometimes developers or publishers legitimately offer keys for free. If it's not from some kind of official source, and generally if you're just stumbling across it like that, it won't be, then the key is likely not legal.
 
user4704
7:02 PM
Almost certainly nobody is legitimately distributing free SC1 keys right now.
 
Unless for some reason the game company decided to give the key away for free...
It could be a key that only partially unlocks functionality, for instance.
 
Mm nope, it unlocks it
the game
full
 
user4704
It's almost certainly illegal then.
 
If you have to question it's authenticity, it probably isn't legal.
 
user4704
Don't use it.
 
7:04 PM
hm why
blizzard may like that more people play their old SC xD
 
user4704
Because piracy is illegal and bad?
 
why would tehy like that
costs them bandwidth on the bnet server for a non-paying customer?
 
user4704
If they wanted to give the game away for free, they would. They are not.
 
user4704
Therefore it is illegal.
 
DH.
Even more because SC1 still has a playerbase
They won't make it for free so soon
 
7:06 PM
why is frozen throne seperate from W3, but brood war is not?
odd
 
user4704
WC3 is still newer than SC, isn't it? Probably still think they can get money off the individual SKUs.
 
DH.
They made the game 2 in 1
Even because they had to, otherwise SC1 wouldn't be using BNet :P
 
user4704
Same with Diablo 2.
 
user4704
Also, perhaps the demand for SC + Brood War so far outstrips the demand for the other games that they can still generate more revenue that way.
 
user4704
Even by cutting $5 from the combined price.
 
DH.
7:10 PM
Yeah one problem with W3FT is that it overwrites stuff from W3RC
So having both sounds better so you can play both campaigns and still play with the old styles of each race
But I never played the expansion of Diablo 2 so I have no idea why it stills separated...
 
D2 expansion completely changes the game
 
They added the charms in that one, right?
I'm really glad they did not add that feature in D3..
 
DH.
I only played D1 and D2, didn't finish both lol
 
7:25 PM
They recently started working on Diablo II and Warcraft III again :) So it makes sense to try get as much as possible from sales.
 
DH.
Yeah I saw that they made a balance patch to W3
 
A few people from the community I use went to a visit at Blizzard HQ to hear a bit about their plans.
I even got an invite, but I couldn't really spare the money to get a flight from Denmark to the US. :P
 
DH.
Damn :c
 
Sie
It feels like nobody can touch Blizzard once they release a game. Hell look how fast and brutally they murdered Battleborn.
 
@AlexandreVaillancourt runes and runewords
 
7:28 PM
@Almo These were nice, though!
 
I didn't like them
shit you gotta look up on the net
no way you could find runewords on your own
 
Sie
In fairness though Battleborn did seek to make the comparison.
@battleborn The universe embraces us all, bro. See you in May! https://t.co/p9LECEeYTe
 
I like the concept of customizing your weapons with slots
it was just the look up part I didn't like :)
(yeah I find MInecraft annoying for the same reason)
 
Lots of games are like that..
Oh, well gtg, laters!
 
bye :)
I just realized the overwatch logo is an O and a W
 
party for your right to fight
 
Jon
@Sie I don't care for them.
 
@Almo what? :D :D :D
 
Sie
@Jon Who exactly?
 
7:50 PM
now I have to post a decent PE track, cause that one isn't very good.
that shit has a great beat and bassline
 
Jon
6950K was announced
10 cores
25MB cache
runs on x99 chipset
 
8:05 PM
@Almo this shit is just shit and ppl should not listen to it. I understand you were in <jk>mode on</jk> but this is too much
 
Someone who had developed RTS games?
 
@Leggy7 if you check my iTunes, you'll see Can't Truss it has a 5 star rating from me.
really good hip hop
it might be rap instead of hip hop, but whatever, the labels are close enough for our purposes. :)
 
8:29 PM
@Almo I was just teasing :)
 
:D
 
I usedto be a metalhead
it's my duty to pee on whatever isnt metal
:)
 
haha :D
@Leggy7 here's one of my favorite metal tracks.
That's some noisy shit there.
 
8:50 PM
@Almo wow, thank you!!
 
:)
I feel like Ministry hit that album just right. Dark Side of the Spoon had too much Revolting Cocks in it (Jourgensen's other band that's more prone to silliness).
 
that's just too noisy for my taste
I like more melodic sounds
for instance good ol' Dark Tranquillity
or vikigng stuff like Amon Amarth / Suidakra
or somevirtuous band like Ensiferum / Wintersun
 
@Leggy7 What about Equilibrium?
 
@NaCl how could I forget
 
haha
 
9:01 PM
I enjoyed Sagas liek a few things in my life
and how not to mention WOlfchant too
Insomnium too made alot of music I enjoyed
but strangely in these days I use to keep me company while I code many Dethklok's songs
rofl I could talk of really important music for hours :)
 
Alestorm!
 
sounds new to me
trying to listen to Drink :)
lol a madband in trollfest style
 
Basically, weird pirate metal
 
ahah yeah pirate themed
hmm pirates are not famous for drnking beer
 
Yeah, more rum
 
9:08 PM
they should call themselves grogstorm
lol, thanks, they are a pleasant listening
I'd like to share something I think you don't know, since they are an italian band
wait
close to the place where I live and the song speaks about the mouontains nearabout
 
A bit too melodic for my taste
 
where are you from nacl?
 
Germany
 
oh
lot of cool band from there
 
KRAFTWERK
and a few others
:)
 
9:14 PM
Well, you got Fleshgod Apocalypse
 
saw kraftwerk live here in MTL... they kicked ass
they actually play, too. heard a mistake and saw one of them cringe.
 
I don't know them, will have a look
Oh those guys
 
listening to the robots, kinda ipnotizing
 
WE ARE THE ROBOTS
 
lol a bit ripetitve, but nice
they are robots thoug
sorry I could share this undying song
it's unbelieavable how much debug.log can slow down performances
 
9:34 PM
1981, way ahead of its time
just update the bass drum sound, and I wouldn't be that surprised if it were made 20 years later.
especially after 1:00
 
Jon
10:16 PM
who wants to play hoops
 
can't quite yet
still verifying the alpha build
 
Jon

not sure
found a problem
 
Jon
sucks to be you
 
10:33 PM
hahaha
in some ways, yes. In others, no. :D

Q: How to program destructibles?

Cyprian GuerraSorry for asking four questions at once but these are all on the subject of "how do I do this and what are the pitfalls". I'm building a space ship! I was wondering about the simplest way to make a little space ship fighter that takes damage based on a hit location (e.g. engine, thrusters, lase...

this is a loaded question
 
11:32 PM
Are triangles a good choice for "particles"? primarily opinion based
How do I store a shape build from "particles"? too broad
How do I avoid pixel-perfect collision detection? what
How do I "glue" parts together (physics)? could be a valid question
but yeahhhhhhh
 
i like your "what" there
man you manage to get a PEKKA in their base and raged, it tears shit up
 
@ChrisMcFarland replay shared in clan
 
pretty tanky
 
:)
you're just screwed if it comes up against a ton of guys due to the slow atak speed
but that's why I had the valk go in with it
