Also, where the fuck are bigheads? It was THE thing to unlock the bigheads cheat.... I'll implement that when time is ready ffs

Blue Bug

I need video card. I am playing Overwatch at 50% resolution and it is killing my eyes.

TheMuffinCoder

Wait for overwatch?

I'm using a 750ti and the graphics are awesome

Blue Bug

100% resolution? resolution dimension is...?

TheMuffinCoder

Let me check rn

NaCl

easy solution: close them ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Jon

8:03 PM

i have a funny story

when I was going to college, there was a guy called Chris Lebreton in our class

The teacher one day, looked at him and said... "You remind me of those Lebreton Crackers, I think i'll call you Cracker"

NaCl

@Sie imagine that stuff on 4chan...

ugh

Sie

@NaCl Hot block on block action.

Jon

From that day forth, we called him Cracker -- it evolved to "Cracker Saltytop" by the end of the year

Leggy7

the dude drop out the year after?

Jon

he did a presentation on respect a few months later

Sie

8:05 PM

@NaCl I never go on 4chan anymore and made the mistake of going on /b/.

NaCl

yeah, huge mistake for sure

it always is

TheMuffinCoder

@Sie I been going to /b/ twice a day for the past months

It's not that bad

Blue Bug

it really isn't bad at all

frame rate?

TheMuffinCoder

Let me enable my FPS counter and play game

I'll tell u how it goes

(Note my CPU is really beefy i7)

Sie

@TheMuffinCoder Once was enough. I guess it was a case of the wrong time/place. I don't want to get into it but let's just say some people are really fucking sick. Never gone there since and never intend on going there again.

TheMuffinCoder

8:08 PM

I used to play it on my older computer but it lagged hard but prolly because of the lack of power there

Blue Bug

I am feeling like going for a cheap gpu for now, since I mainly need it for Overwatch

Sie

Stupid spammers. I just got a call from some Indian guy claiming to be from the Microsoft Technical Department and said my compute has a virus.

TheMuffinCoder

yea and with the money u save, invest it for a i7

Jon

or wait for the i8

TheMuffinCoder

They just released the 10 core i7 so I doubt that for now

Jon

8:11 PM

i8 master edition

yeah, that 10 core cpu is insanely expensive..

TheMuffinCoder

I have consistent 60fps

Ouch SE image compression makes it look bad

sn0k3

Hehe, my level editor supports different tiles

there is also a menu

TheMuffinCoder

I got tempted and now I'm playing overwatch instead of creating my assets :P

sn0k3

There was strange thing, which moved the jpanel +1 pixel, but I added:
super.paintComponent(g);

and it fixd

Can someone explain me what does that do?

@Jon ?

Blue Bug

I play at that resolution .

it is awful.

Jon

8:16 PM

eh

sn0k3

what does: super.paintComponent(g); do?

Jon

ah, well what that does, is calls the base class and says Paint this

user92578

yeah

sn0k3

Thank you! :)

Blue Bug

@TheMuffinCoder can u post your specs?

and no overclock, right?

Jon

8:18 PM

i o/c my setup pretty high

but I have a massive heatsink and fan

user92578

Blue Bug

what gpu and cpu do u use @Jon

Jon

6600k cpu / gtx960 gpu

a modest build

Blue Bug

did u draw it? @Tyyppi_77 That looks very nice... ur pixel art is getting better and better

Jon

@Tyyppi_77 everytime you post something your game looks better and better and better

user92578

8:19 PM

that's a really old truck reocolored and dented a little

TheMuffinCoder

@Jon lol I have the same as u :D

We both have the noctua since u recommended it :P

user92578

so I needed to make something actually fail the level when a bomb exploded in a bomb level

Jon

cool, what cooler?

the same noctua?

sn0k3

its tires..

Jon

LOL holy shit

TheMuffinCoder

8:20 PM

@BlueBug on the gpu, I have no overclock

Jon

what mobo?

TheMuffinCoder

I'll post my build soon

Jon

k

sn0k3

its very nice, but you can change its tires when it explodes

TheMuffinCoder

My exact build

pcpartpicker.com/user/themuffincoder/saved

user92578

8:21 PM

maybe, they are study tries though

Jon

ah, i have the 6600 not the 6700

TheMuffinCoder

Still waiting to get the 1080, I have my 750ti for the meantime

Jon

same cooler though :)

Blue Bug

is this what you have Jon?

amazon.com/Intel-Boxed-I5-6600K-Processor-BX80662I56600K/dp/…

Jon

same board

Yep @BlueBug

almost the same case, hahaha

nice build

TheMuffinCoder

8:22 PM

but not as much ram? :P

Blue Bug

is i-bigger_number cpu better than the i-lower_numbers

Jon

half the ram

Leggy7

when I got my desktop i5 was the best price over quality

Jon

i5 is great for gaming

TheMuffinCoder

I want quality

I'm tired of dealing with laggy photoshop/illustrator/blender

Jon

8:22 PM

i7 is great for video streaming/video editing/stuff that requires 8 cores

Leggy7

never had any problem with i5

Jon

If you don't deal with video production, an i5 is plenty right now

not much even utilizes anything over 4 cores

that being said -- if you can afford an i7 -- get an i7

future proof your shit

back in the day, we were talking about upgradeing our modems to 56k

people would have 14k, or 33.6K modems

and then 56K modems came out -- and evyerone online were like "Awww man you gotta see my download speeds man, i'm getting a full 6K/s"

This was HUGE back then, as the 33.6K modems only did max 3.3K/s

Doubled your internet speeds almost

TheMuffinCoder

I just went thro 2 victories in overwatch

I think my new mouse helped me improve :P

Blue Bug

does gtx 750 not come with 4gb?

Jon

probably not.

TheMuffinCoder

8:30 PM

overwatch doesnt seem to mind

Jon

that is older gen

3 gens old

TheMuffinCoder

+my 750 ti has been through 2 years of my torture with blender rendering

user92578

i have 750 ti too

Blue Bug

amazon.com/s/…

Jon

yeah, don't get a 750 now

Blue Bug

8:30 PM

which 750 ti should I get?

not now?

don't get 750 now?

Jon

get last gen, not last last gen

Blue Bug

something like gtx 950?

Jon

you can get a 950 for the same price

and it is better

TheMuffinCoder

gotta make sure her psu can handle first tho

Blue Bug

There are same 950 listed several times

amazon.com/s/…

What are the differences?

TheMuffinCoder

8:33 PM

different coolers/design?

Jon

different model numbers

the first one has only 1 fan

Blue Bug

dafuq one should I choose

Jon

I would imagine the outputs are different on the varying models

Get a full sized card more than likely.

I don't usually buy on amazon

I get it from a shop that price matches online at checkout

pcpartpicker is also very helpful

Blue Bug

Amazon is fastest though

Jon

hold on

amazon.com/…

That is a sweet card

Blue Bug

8:36 PM

is that because of the fan?

Jon

Yes, high grade fans

factory overclock because it can take it

Great price, very modest card

well... great price

mediocre price right now

Blue Bug

overclock?

I am scared of overclock. Never tried it. Do overclock with this one? STRIX-GTX950-DC2OC-2GD5-GAMING

Jon

they all do this

its a very low overclock

DH.

that's why some GPU cards have 2~3 fans on it

or even water cooler

Jon

factory overclock means that it is set on the hardware level

you don't do anything, the card just runs at a higher than spec clock speed

out of the box

TheMuffinCoder

8:41 PM

Cant wait for winter

Best time for overclocking

user92578

hahaha

user92578

watching the euro football tournament, ronaldo is failing at everything

Blue Bug

cool....

pcpartpicker.com/list

600$ so far

TheMuffinCoder

@BlueBug Wrong link :P

Blue Bug

?

TheMuffinCoder

8:47 PM

Dont forget to save ur list first and then link

Blue Bug

pcpartpicker.com/list/kkggsJ

oh shoot

TheMuffinCoder

lol I think ur missing the cpu cooler

Blue Bug

will it get hot?

TheMuffinCoder

I'm pretty sure a cpu cooler is a must have

It's the thing with the radiator and such

Blue Bug

amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/…

Best Seller

TheMuffinCoder

8:49 PM

I assume any cooler would work but best to check with the wise Jon

Blue Bug

The gracious entity @Jon please descend onto the land and have pity on this earthling. I seek thy wisdom.

Jon

heh

you dno't want my opinion on coolers

the evo series is a good buy from what I read

Blue Bug

~~oh ok. go away then~~ please come back.

TheMuffinCoder

But Jon ur opinion is wise, I got the cooler u told me

Jon

and is all you need if you are not into overclocking... which you are not

yeah that cooler is made to OC though

and make your cpu run for a very long time :D

Almo

8:57 PM

jon... level 34 par is correct? just checking

and what's "You already best this level"

Blue Bug

what motherboard should I choose?

TheMuffinCoder

9:13 PM

Ignore had the wrong CPU

Blue Bug

i5-4690K is more expansive than i5-6600K? @TheMuffinCoder

TheMuffinCoder

@BlueBug pcpartpicker.com/builds/…

Check out these builds

Blue Bug

@TheMuffinCoder which one do u think is the best out of the three?

pcpartpicker.com/b/ZMkTwP

the middle one?

TheMuffinCoder

Sorry but I would ask the glorious and merciful Jon for that :P

Blue Bug

oh thee the embodiment of the heavenly secrets. I call you upon thy name for I am too mere to your guidance @Jon

PearsonArtPhoto

9:21 PM

LOL.

Blue Bug

The Jon did not grant @Bluebug his grand wisdom

TheMuffinCoder

It is because you lacked a proper offering

Blue Bug

@Bluebug falls in despair

TheMuffinCoder

@Jon Please accept this humble offering and assist Blue Bug in her journey

Blue Bug

^ I have none that satisfy the needs of thee, but these donuts!

TheMuffinCoder

9:25 PM

Now we wait

Blue Bug

starts the ritual dance around the donuts frantically

TheMuffinCoder

LMFAO

PearsonArtPhoto

I think my world gen code is a bit off...

TheMuffinCoder

looks fine to me

could be a river

user92578

So occasionally I still get these pixel rounding errors while rendering, I'm guessing caused by weird level offsets that come from the smooth camera lerping. I'm already flooring my positions and ceiling my sizes. Any ideas why I still get an pixel error here and there?

PearsonArtPhoto

9:27 PM

Blue Bug

Unity magic! @Tyyppi_77

PearsonArtPhoto

Okay, that's what I was going for.

Just a bit of tweaking, and now it all works in my config file:-)

user92578

I don't use Unity ._.

Blue Bug

WUT?

were u not?

r u building an engine of your own?

user92578

Yeah I have my own framework built ontop of SDL2

user92578

9:29 PM

Blue Bug

coool...

Almo

@jon
level 34 par is correct? just checking
and what's "You already best this level"

user92578

@PearsonArtPhoto Now this looks awesome

PearsonArtPhoto

Basically I've spent all week trying to make my code do the same thing it did at the beginning of the week.

And I think I've accomplished it...

The difference, of course, being that I load everything from a config file now.

Almo

man that's a ton of levels

Blue Bug

9:35 PM

@PearsonArtPhoto I did the same thing this week!

youtube.com/watch?v=HRSST4wzdDc this is what I had! and this is what i have NOW youtube.com/watch?v=RE-psNg0rvw

so total.. yeah... 17 days same scene.

Jon

@Almo heh, You already best this level? i'll check

that sounds weird, lol

Lara

Good eve guys!

Hope you all are doing well. I have a query... Hope anyone of you can guide me out

Jon

@Almo what is wrong with 34?

@Lara sure thing what is up

Almo

@Jon one possible thing, really minor nitpicking... "You really like this level, don't you?" shouldn't show up the first time you fail on it. Though I'm aware of what happens when you want to count number of failures before saying certain things.

Maybe I'm a noob, but I couldn't get par on it.

Jon

it shows up the first tiem you fail

Almo

9:42 PM

if it's possible, that's all I wanted to know

Jon

???

should only show up after 4 fails

Lara

@Jon Thanks for reply Jon. Lemme ask my Question

Almo

hmm I'm pretty sure it happened after one fail

Jon

ok... hmm... i will verify

ahhh..

34 is 5

thanks man holy shit how did I miss that

Almo

ok! :)

i like 45. clever

Lara

9:45 PM

@Jon please see the image, I am going to delete it

Jon

lol

user92578

Why?

Jon

protecting your IP?

Lara

no. protecting my game :P

user92578

prtscn'd :D

Lara

9:45 PM

haha

cheating :P

user92578

plus I still have the link :D

Jon

@Almo that message is actually kinda at a strange spot

I smell a pathfinding question coming up

user92578

^

Lara

@Tyyppi_77 ok no problem. I know :P haha

user92578

Use A*

Lara

9:46 PM

jon u are smart :D

Jon

you noticed? geeee blushes

Lara

haha

Actually I am making a 3d game in unity. In this character have to reach a destination point amid the obstacles. He can be anywhere. I have to give user hint that where should he go.

user can use hint anytime

so character can have its position anywhere

Jon

have you heard of navigation mesh?>

Lara

How I am going to guide user that go in this direction

yes I have

user92578

Pathfind to destination -> choose an intersection on the path -> highlight that position

Lara

9:48 PM

just heard only

Jon

you could bake in a navmesh into your level

Lara

@Tyyppi_77 How I am going to have that path ?

Jon

this would provide you with a way to do pathfinding

user92578

Jon will help you with the actual pathfinding, I don't know any Unity

Lara

well there can be many possible ways of going to destination

so I have to cover them all? :S

user92578

9:49 PM

Pathfinding gives you the shortest, that's how they work

Lara

thanks Tyypppp

um

Jon

Right... if you want all possible paths, that is a totally different story

and also n v np

Lara

i m not going to use Dijkhstra's algo for that please :D

user92578

I'd guess there's an Unity plugin that does all this for you?

Lara

Well I really dont want any shortest path. User can take any path

can you tell me what should I search on google

user92578

9:51 PM

that's a lot harder

Jon

what you can do, is verify if the path is valid.

Lara

because what I tried so far didnt help me

Jon

can the player reach this area?

Lara

I am still unable to grasp your suggestions except nav mesh :(

Jon

first learn about nav mesh in unity

it is built into the engine

docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/NavMesh.html

Once you learn how to use this component, then you can start to learn how to determine if paths are valid or not

Lara

9:54 PM

hmm makes sense ^^

Thank you so much. I am going to study this

Jon

No problem, come back when you get stuck

Lara

Sure. Thanks for kind words :)

Now have to leave for sleep. It's 3:00 AM here

goodnight guys!

user92578

sleep well!

Lara

and thanks once again! :)

user92578

Damn I don't think I can fix these rendering artifacts ._.

user92578

9:56 PM

They don't make any sense to me, but I guess it's a float thing

Jon

use root beer next time

Blue Bug

~~700~~ 800 bucks pc! pcpartpicker.com/list/yZvJxY

Jon

yeah motherboard has no price, lol

user92578

Just look at the motherfucker, just sitting there and laughing at me

user92578

Jon

9:58 PM

one thing you might want to consider, is an SSD drive

Blue Bug

reddit people keep telling me to wait for RX 470,

Jon

pcmasterrace?

can't stand that subreddit, lol
