Unity is, well, something...

Well one guy told me to fuck off

He called himself a customer. I wonder why he thinks I owe him anything at all.

I even gave him the command to fix it

And he told me to fuck off lol

Thanks unity

LOL

It's the fun of working with the public. chance of meeting some ungrateful a-hole increase exponentially :P

@Riva yeah, some side scroller

70%c++ knowledge and half of all PYTHON

man this guys is pretty smart

Did you mean to say you're searching for the manual? :']

I messed up man.

:(

how ?

I trusted Unity

oh man never do that

:D

that's like, the 8th sin

did you die?

50% of users lost their save

how were you storing it?

Well the percentage is a guess based off nothing

what did you do ?

I read roughly earlier but can't remember

Unity player prefs

Some users had it stored under this low integrity key I have no idea why

how do player prefs fail ?

Fix is a one line cmdprompt

Moves the key to actual location it should be

Best to write your own saving/loading file save system

unfortunately

Yes. Fuck yes

I used player prefs as it is cross platform

but what is this low integrity shit. It's a windows thing that restricts reading/writing privileges as far as I know but where do you set it in unity ?

Unity's got you bruh, no need to worry about it they will just set it randomly for you

I never set it. Unity glitch or something I can't even find any information on n it

I use this for my serialization needs nuget.org/packages/protobuf-net

Pissed off a lot of not paying customers

if they are not paying who gives a damn

ratings are life

gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/137961/… what does this guy mean change part of the mesh

Clearly he means tl;dr

huh ?

(too long, didn't read)

Yeah this is bad for ratings.

If users are telling you to fuck off you can guarantee they are going to leave a bad review

Even though I spent 2 hours on Sunday figuring out the issue and providing a fix that works

No glory in game DEV.

Hello fellow coders ;)

I finally decided after coding more than 2 years to code a small game for fun

good for you

I'm not one of those guys who started with the thought of going to create awesome games etc. I'm more the pragmatic guy.

Nevertheless. I run into the common problem of GUI stuff in games eventough my plans are only seeing this problem comming.

Go on

What do you use with OpenGL for creating minimalistic gui's (thinking of that Minecraft-GUI level is enough for my stuff)

You're right. I'm not sure whether GUI's like Minecraft has are really complicated. I'm simply messing with whether I should write something on my own or rather creating something from which others can benefit too.

nice idea

I could use HTML with WebGL

Thanks :D

Would work fine too xD

Actually I wanted to make the game also because I would like to practice my Vulkan coding.

UI is just a bunch of 2d sprites on the screen. Rendering 2d sprites is easy in OpenGL or DirectX

I'm not used yet to thinking in OpenGL coding. Ironically I can code better Vulkan than OpenGL

then do it in Vulkan its the future anyways :D ;)

It definitely is.

But it needs a bit more work. Memory management is especially exhausting

Could I ask what you're doing in your free-time :D ?

@Tyyppi_77 BTW thanks for the reference to awesomium. I already saw it but didn't looked into it correctly.

So far I understood I can lay the stuff of awesomium over my context?

Pricing of this company is also nice :)

I should render my stuff on GPU, the UI is rendered to a bitmap and afterwards I transfer this bitmap to my GPU overlaying it with the result of my engine, right?

Should HTML rendering be considered as too slow?

@Theraot Nice answer ;)

The guys here already brought me another idea using a library which renders first with html etc.

@ArthurP.R. I just got OpenTK.GLControl running on WinForms... had to use the version 1.1.1589.5942 of the nuget package

Easy solution too. No flickering?

@ArthurP.R. It is a control, so you add it to your form, you can add it to your form as usual. You can render on the Paint event. Remember to call Context.SwapBuffers. I did place a button over it and the control doesn't render over the button. I'll try rendering something more fancy and see if gives any problems.

Considering keeping my son home Friday from school to play Zelda. Bad dad ideas?

Okay, thanks.

@jgallant Talking about Nintendo Switch?

All Bs

Hehe

Naw wiiu version. I don't make money off my games so can't afford a switch lol

Ex wife is gonna freak though.

I think I might do a half day

We have been anticipating this game for years.

My wife is going to be out of town this week, so I'll have less competition for it:-)

My gf was warned lol

I told her I'm gonna be in Hyrule for about 100 hours

I think the only person I'll have to compete with is my daughter, and that shouldn't be too bad I suspect...

@ArthurP.R. here is the deal, it is working on the message loop of the windows form... so you don't really have a game loop. And you can't render on a different fom thread (OpenGL limitation)... the simple solution is to call invalidate at the end of the paint event handler. That should give you worst FPS than using the GameWindow. Aside from that it works correctly. And no, no flickering at all.

It would be better to draw the GUI to a bitmap if always invalidate must be called

@Tyyppi_77 thx, i'll try rendering on Application.Idle

Yes, that works without calling invalidate.

WndProc -> bad idea. You need extra check to not render before load or after close, and it eats the responsiveness of the window.

@ArthurP.R. I'll update my answer to mention this solution

Thanks @Theraot. You're more into this than I am.

> Thank you sir @Bálint can you give me sir an example? because I don't know how to start.I try but doesn't work I'm new to this framework

That's an actual comment I got

When did I become a knight?

When you finished crossing the chessboard?

Sir Balint of GDSE

@Bálint Since you vanquished the 3krep dragon?

@Tyyppi_77 Do you know any games that use awesomium for their 2d UI?

@WilliamMariager used it

He swears by it last time I heard

My DB guy told me to alter returned data to fix a bug.

I'm like emmmmm.

How about.... No.

@Tyyppi_77 Oh funny! but why not!

@jgallant all right!

CEF?

Ah, yeah, that kind of be expected, I guess..

Drink water. Piss. Repeat.

What about coffee?

Coffee is mostly water.

It's like dirty water

I like my coffee like I like my women.

Ground up into tiny little pieces.

@jgallant you need a new iOS PT build to go out?

Hey man long time no see

hey

was on vacation a week

Yeah eventually. I'm not done yet.

DC and Philadelphia

ok sure

any time

Ah cool.

Mr. MacDonald!

Have fun?

yeah I did have fun

:)

parking is EXPENSIVE in downtown Philly

we paid $30 for 1.5 hours in a garage

Ouch

That's like 1/3 of the new Zelda game.

hahah :)

Wb Almo :)

:)

@ArthurP.R. I really don't think you should code Vulkan unless you really want to go deeeeeeeeeeeep and already deep inside and have much time to delve into.

I think OpenGL DirectX is still a much better option because there are plenty of learning resources you can take advantage of.

But Vulkan is so star trek though

In other words, you could get stuck with Vulkan and it could be really tough to get help(unless you are knowledged enough to pull yourself out).

smirks

How different is Vulkan anyways?

I am not sure because I never touched Vulkan but from what I heard it is better OpenGL that it lets you be more specific about things allowing you to have more control.

I think it is something that directX does already but directX is not platform independent.

even lower? And Significantly? Dang... I am already struggling with constant buffer in my shader. That's gotta be realllly low

GunHero is a 2D-action-platformer-shooter filled with handcrafted levels in various settings. Save the world from the evil Count BlackCape and bring back freedom to lands.

I think shorter quick description should go to the top.

GunHero is a 2D-action-platformer-shooter filled with handcrafted levels in various settings. Save the world from the evil Count BlackCape.

I want to see "what" first before I start to read its lore.

ok. so this is part of the advertisement as well? I think that makes it whole a lot different then... u want to put something that sells your game.

conversion from 'int' to 'float', possible loss of data. How could converting from int to float lose any data ?

I am not expert to advertisement so I cannot really provide good input as to sell your game with the few words, but I would put mind boggling words in that case.

10

"...H1Z1: King of the Kill is a large-scale, fight-to-the-death shooter where every moment counts. Drop into the high-intensity, arena-style grudge match and activate your inner beast mode. Gear up fast, throw together a game plan, and we’ll see if you have what it takes to be the last man standing. Rack up a kill streak or just add to the chaos – this is a spectacle and only one can be King of the Kill. #TakeYourShot"

what is 10 as a float ?

10.00000

no lose of data

ah ok i see now

yea i got u now

You could refund the game yes. Some do and some don't. Even say some people do refund it due to advertisement, the money you make is still more with "large word advertisement". I think you deserve money for putting so much effort. I think you should try to sell this game at the most you can.

Yeah make some sick trailer that's a bit exaggerated with power of edits and such.

@JoshPetrie That's the thing I didn't really understand much. Isn't float int both 4 bytes? How could you lose data, say you copy pasted float bytes to int bytes?

oh... I see but in that sense you could technically preserve the data as in terms of bits?

the number you get through interpretation is different but the bits are the same?

I have a question on suitability of a question. I'm planning on doing some animation building with a thought toward putting it on the Unity Store since they don't seem to have examples (specifically, I was going to put together a Capoeira moveset). Is there a standard rig that tends to be used for commercial assets?

:) If the answer isn't bleedingly obvious, is that a valid question to ask here?

@JoshPetrie Ah. Good to know. I may just go by the default skeleton I have from the CMU Mocap data, which used the Acclaim standard.

I see... so int is more like just counting binary number 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 but float is more like class that it has many other things that get interpreted differently.

@AlexandreVaillancourt Nah, I had a post which got me around 500 rep for no actual reason.

@jgallant I like that actually

Tag > moderator

@Bálint If you don't think you deserve these reputation point, I suggest you forfeit them by creating a bounty on a random question :P

What do u mean by staff? I thought mods were top end of food chain.

Oh... I see, like those who really owns the website?

And one has to check once in a while if someone recreated blacklisted tag.. :P

I am making FPS movement atm... I am realizing how absurd "air movement" in game is

Double jumping is completely normal

lol

When I jump in my dreams I have a hard time coming back down.

My dreams don't understand gravity

@jgallant Do you ever wonder "Is this a dream?" while dreaming, and then magically fly away to test it, but still not be completely convinced that it's a dream?

Yeah I have done some lucid dreaming

It is real

It is hard to maintain lucidity but it is possible

When I was actively practicing it, it would fuck with my head. Sometimes I did things in my dreams and wasn't sure if it really happened or not. Other times I would wake up paralyzed

Mind is awake but body is not

My cue was jumping.

If you want to do this, start questioning if you are dreaming while you are awake. When you do, have a cue to test. Most people look at their hands and this works for them. Basically a test to see if you are sleeping.

Eventually you will actively test when you are sleeping and realize it is actually a dream.

@jgallant and with that last one we have probably at least 90% of "ufo abductions" =p

lol I got jarred into lucidity on accident once because I saw my great grandpa in a dream

I instantly called bullshit on reality, "lol no you're dead"

Most cases it will wake you up

Relax and let it go and you can sometimes maintain the lucid state. I have done it twice, is isn't easy.

if you lucid dream into another reality.... do you wake up there instead??

Also you need to be very sober in my opinion

Naw.

I feel there should be an inverse neo meme for this

Arguing with kids in reddit for the win.

On

Naaawwwwe uhhhhhh

One time I threw a push pin at a bulletin board and it stuck

I felt like a God

OP

It has all been downhill since that moment

Does anyybody knows how GDI+ measure string works ? i mean why does they need layout rectangle or just x and y does it even matter x and y value ?

How does one measure a string that is not monospaced

dont know probably type that text in temp surface and then check widht ?

float urrrr = Mathf.Min(1, Vector3.Dot(bodyVelocity_XZ, desiredVelocityDirection) );

I understood conceptually at some unconscious level but couldn't verbalize its purpose. So I named it urrrr...

float urrrrrr;//does stuff.... that's important

@jgallant lucid dreaming is weird man

A friend of mine was at his computer. I decided he should become someone else. He just looked at me and said "nope".

Your lucid dreams are bad. Lol

hahah

some

Apparently the decrypt key for BotW has been leaked.

Not sure what that means.

Apparently you can play it now

I doubt that

BotW?

Did you download it already? If so that key can be used to unlock the binaries, which may allow you to play

Boobs of the Women

Or breath of the wild

I bought the physical copy

Come on Friday

Well my mom bought it for me for my bday

Thanks mom

makes fun of jon

Why did you make fun of me in Italian?

makes fun of jon in danish

Can someone help me do a penetration test on my new IP camera?

download metasploit

oh wtf, Google Play console now has a "Create Sale" button

Interesting

strangely it's only going to be applied to ~60 of the ~130 countries it looks like

and adheres to the whole "you can only run a sale once every 30 days" thing

Probably something local law something

yet.... you can still edit the normal price at any time lol

yeah you're not supposed to jack up the price before running a "sale"

But its not a sale! There is no hype around it :P

Why not? Most stores do that

Steam follows the rule very strictly, don't think Apple cares

anti-consumer laws I'm sure

Can you put something on sale with a negative discount?

@Chris a.bt.bmcdn.dk/media/cache/resolve/image_1240/image/95/951375/… happened this year :P

It's on sale! At its original price!

@MickLH Nope, a negative price defaults to the full price lol

lol

@Hjorthenify BUY! BUY!

I just read an article about the switch presentation in prague

One time they say "the motion controls are very precise and the game registers everything", 2 articles later they say "the motion controls aren't too great"

Not sure what to believe, I think I'll just wait for the official launch to see what actual people say about it

I'm going to bet on "not very precise".

Well, the Wii had good motion controls (or at least good enough for me to finish Skyward Sword), and that was back in 2006

2009 if you count from the motion plus

Side note: Why is there a separate wikipedia page just for the wii motion plus?

60% of the Switch owners will buy it only to play BotW.

I can alreads tell that

I programmed on the Wii. I did not like the motion controls.

I did not get to use the Plus version, just the originals and the nunchuk

max 3.5 g was not enough for what designers wanted to do with it, and the nunchuk was max 2.5g

WTF

that's an ewok

heheh

@Almo TVs broken per year are probably exponential in this number

heh

So I did not want player to have full movement control if they are in air. What happens next is that player cannot jump forward but only upward because I apply force when I jump but straight modify positions when I am moving horizontally.

or when player tries to climb down stair-like environment, player stops as soon as it starts to fall...

so I am adding burst of impulse to the direction of player's movement here and there every time player is in the air while moving.

"simple movement" is becoming a bit complicated. Pulling out that feel is tougher than I expected.

sometimes just allowing slight movement control in mid-air can feel okay, like Smash Bros

you can move left/right a little in air, but not as fast as walking

and no turning while in mid-air if I recall

my game does allow a bit of movement control, you can produce short stream of impulse, but it stops if you are moving faster than X velocity to the desired direction

you can exploit this by smoothly turning your desired moving direction in air; achieving movement in air that's very smooth, it is like as if you are having jet-pack

This is what TF2 player calls air surfing!

CS players do it better

yes!

partly joking, that video is pretty awesome, though some of those surf maps really stress out your airaccel trickery

However having air control is too much advantage. So I added character in my game; support character that instead of killing he push/pulll you in air and also reduce your movement effectiveness in the air!

I'm tired.

well
