@ChrisMcFarland duct tape: Mississippi's answer for anything broken.

LOL

1 hour later…

1:25 PM

Note to self. Do not call SetParticles for every particle in the system inside the particle loop :D

@Sie It's a dark fantasy action adventure about becoming the next King/Queen of Death. Think DMC combined with Game of Thrones set in a entirely unique underworld.

tumbleweeds everywhere

chat is daed...blame mods

Especially @ChrisMcFarland

3:40 PM

@UriPopov Yeah, these damn mods!

user92578

shrug

user92578

cough there was a time when there were more people on

and several of those who are gone either oculdn't live with the few rules we had, or made it unpleasant for everyone else

ah who needs em anyway

user92578

There was an abrupt change in chat culture

4:57 PM

yeah the mods decided they were tired of the shit. was a good move.

user92578

I feel like you're purposefully forgetting that not everyone who left were banned

I was gone for a long time, but I dont' see some of the old regulars anymore either

thedaian, jmcdonald, gajet, blue, etc.

@Tyyppi_77 I am not

There's normal attrition. JM left just because he left; there was no real reason as far as I'm aware.

others left because they were mad; that's their choice, and what they were mad about was not worth leaving over in my opinion

But the lower tolerance for asshattery has made it more pleasant

5:30 PM

wow, sounds like some dark period of chat history

Q: Monogame Move objects while having a moving 2D camera

not really

just that there were more direct insults and really nasty arguments

those are mostly gone now

Free Internet Points

6:29 PM

I am writing my first game. In this game, I have a heroEntity object, which has fields: float X {get; set;} float Y {get; set;} Monogame.Extended.Camera2D Camera {get; set;} Since I have some background, I use Camera.Move() instead of moving my heroEntity object (which I put at the center of t...

6:41 PM

I am too lonely to leave chat over getting banned :)

hahah

I just like this place its calm

I like that there are some really smart pros in here who will help. Like Josh.

that too

Should we ask stackexchange to change the background and art so that it's more zen?

6:49 PM

hehe

I certainly don't like the art

every fucking game book in the world has the fade from object to wireframe.

We should use this shot from my game hehe

@Almo Yeah, and honestly, how many times have you done this in a game? :P

@UriPopov hehe

I like the fade to wireframe. It neatly conveys the "educational game dev resource" idea

6:53 PM

I wrote a wireframe shader once but It did not fade

plus, when I'm editing models, I'm constantly switching between wireframe and solid view

so if it's not a part of game engine programming, it's at least a part of asset creation

why not shaded wireframe and just solve your problem :D

by solid view I mean shaded wireframe. sometimes it's useful to see occluded verts/edges as well

AH KK

especially for example when you want to follow an edge loop around the back side

7:01 PM

I'm on my 14th game dev hour today. I have slept for 4 hours last night

I'm not sure what I'm doing but it involves cinemachine and timeline so it going to be awsome.

send me some of your game dev energy

@AlexandreVaillancourt agreed.

Though seriously I got banned a few times over nothin'.

Curio

Hi!

Hello

@TheMattbat999 I have yet to see a suspension I thought was really "over nothing". The mods here are pretty good.

7:17 PM

@Almo I was talking about The Bridge. It don't matter though.

It was a long long time ago, in a galaxy around the corner on SE.

What's The Bridge attached to?

Arqade.

ah ok

I can't vouch for that place; don't hang out there much

"Don't know 'im, don't vouch for 'im." (What movie?)

IDK

Fargo. Sorry, I have a weird memory for obscure lines in movies.

Especially if I've seen them a few times. :)

7:21 PM

I don't think Mattbat existed when Fargo game out

Could be

Probably not:)

I didn't exist for alot of things. Though I came into existence at the PC release for Morrowind.

Ah, you must be the Nerevarine of legend

@Jimmy Yes. I am. Just gotta find me some armor... and a sword... and elf ears... and red eyes... and dark skin... and a Dark Elf accent... and some spells... and some (the list continues)

@Jimmy it's a very complicated combination of beers, coffee and good music like this youtube.com/watch?v=X70VMrH3yBg

7:30 PM

And some gold... and a boat to Vvardenfell... and some potions... and some friends... and some bravery... and I think that is it.

you don't need any of that, I'm sure you can find it all in a random barrel outside someone's house

or in that stump by the pond

I probably won't be that lucky :)

On a different note, how has everybody's day been going?

pretty ok

working on some more design stuff

Nice

porting some C++ libraries to ocaml.

7:41 PM

Working on porting a feature from a module to another...

I am trying to understand this cartoon my friend is watching.

heh

Is it in a foreign language?

No. They are using earbuds tho. I think it is "Miraculous"

Noctrine

7:47 PM

Miraculous Lady Bug?

@Noctrine yeah

ok Lads I need help. You know about adding a material to a Text in unity right ? Timeline will not let me animate the material properties... how to fix

Chris McFarland

8:28 PM

@UriPopov can you set triggers or timers to set the material at a certain time?

(I haven't tried Timeline yet)
