That's retarded. First, what's the fear of them holding a grudge? Second, is your honest feedback "its shit"? Otherwise why would they have a grudge? People leave trips and names on and it's no big deal.

>>143498302
We already have that. And it's ignorable, a tiny minority. Most people who come here (who aren't scared off by torrential shitposting) are just here to talk gamedev without identity bullshit.

Per-thread post IDs on /vg/ is a good idea.

Just put up a separate no-music version of my game ĐiệnWorlds, for those who might not like a 100MB download:

For those who didn't see it earlier: it's a freeware power grid management/tycoon-style game (written in C) that involves cellular automata. I'm really proud of it, and just want others to see the ideas I had (I do think the game is pretty unique).

The entire reason he shitposts every day is because he thinks he can get IDs installed by doing that. You'd only be validating his behaviour.
I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here in assuming this is two people who are both not him, which I'm seriously doubting, but this message applies to everyone with similar ideas anyway.
The idea that a single thread on a board should have IDs because one person posts spam is fucking stupid. How would you even apply that, or are you saying the whole board should have IDs because of agdg shitposting?
Besides how stupid that already is, as you stated yourself, all the shitposting is based around assumed ids, so having real ids is only going to make the shitposting stronger and apply to more targets.

>>143500120

Also,
There's still time to submit your game for the monthly recap I'm putting up if anyone like. Just reply to this post with a WebM/image (or multiple) and fill this out:

I'll be taking submissions until Friday, and then finalizing a layout and design and putting up the recap online. A small, unfinished demo of what to expect can be found at recap.aggydaggy.com.

If anyone wants, they can talk to me about getting their own aggydaggy.com subdomain for their games, projects, tutorials, etc. I already gave one to an anon to host their gamedev programming tutorials at boreal.aggydaggy.com and I don't mind handing more out.

The IDs last for one fucking thread.

If you couldn't contain your shitposting needs until the end of the thread at the risk of being "exposed" you shouldn't be posting to begin with.

Thread IDs are fine, its the retarded victimized mentality that needs to end with it though or else it won't work. Hence it won't ever work.

I already forked it a few days ago because I want to rework it to produce JSON data for my online recap page.

>>143500526
I wrote my own procedural generation script. Mountains are generated with essentially this algorithm:

http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Cellular_Automata_Method_for_Generating_Random_Cave-Like_Levels

Then, it assigns a heightmap to the mountains/non-mountains by iteratively counting up neighbors (so it ends up that mountains that deeply surrounded by lots of other mountains have a high height value, and similarly for plains, but in the negative direction).

It then picks a few random points to seed "rivers," then generates rivers by following the gradient downhill. The final step is then to fatten the rivers a bit.

I do, and I remember how hilariously it crashed and burned and how fast everyone turned on him when that thread was made. But I thought it was because he was scared of being samefagged on, not that he wanted some identifier for people.

Though it explains the very pointed namefag-based bullying, I guess. d* really did ruin everything.

>>143500971
But they kept coming. And while "why is source allowed wah wah" is just a meme here, 420chan seems to have ACTUALLY banned source users. I asked a question about how to do something in source once, and got banned on the spot.

yes exactly like that, but then add another array modifier linked to another empty, this will add X cubes for each cube in your first array. You can do this as many times as you want but it gets pretty chaotic sometimes even with 2.

I've been using blender since I was something like 12. I made a game back in the days that I might post. It was pretty atmospheric. You were just a sphere but I was borrowing a lot of stuff from majora mask and OOT. My levels were pretty cool for a 12 year old I think. There was one that was in this huge open cavern and you explored for a bit but then you'd find an artifact that made everything crumble and reveal lava everywhere. I wish I could find it.

Anyway, my topology was still shit just a few months ago. This model is the best I've ever done and it's still in need of improvements but hey, baby steps. I've probably tried to make this a few dozen times, all shit topology.

> I asked a question about how to do something in source once, and got banned on the spot.
This is the single complaint I've seen about the 420/agdg/ moderation, and I suspect it came from you every time it's come up.

Moderation is very reasonable on 420chan and kirtaner is personally on /vg/ there a lot. I'm sure if it really happened (and you weren't just "WHY IS SOURCE ALLOWED HURR") you could get unbanned, though it was probably a short ban anyhow and you're just worried people will go somewhere that actually moderates.

And I'm not saying IDs are bad. They really help the more 'wild west' boards. It definitely works for large communities, but in a small creative community like agdg where there's 100 regulars tops and everyone's putting their ego on the line, where critique can easily cause hurt feelings, having IDs completely destroys the point of anonymity.

Damn, son. Looks nice. I might be showing my age, but I loved Wave Race 64 when I was a kid.

Wondering what the best avatar solution for VR is. Basing the head position on a node within the shape seems to cause warping problems when dealing with rotating the player object since the head position is typically off-center within the player models coordinate system.

e.g. if you rotate the player model to point it in whatever direction the player is looking, the head will be displaced by the rotation (depending how far it is from the center), and thats not even taking into account the positional tracking info from the vr system.

Only "foolproof" system I can think is just to make the player model or head node move to accomadate the players head being in a specific location, then use an ik solver to correct the legs and such. Either that or have no player model at all.

Anyone dealt with this shit?

>>143504367
Have an articulate neck?

>>143504367
>the head will be displaced by the rotation
so counter rotate the head when you rotate the body

>>143504367
>have no player model at all.
Best option until we get limb tracking. It's too jarring looking down and seeing your body in a different position.

>>143504367
>>143504482
>if you rotate the player model to point it in whatever direction the player is looking
Actually, yeah, this is dumb. Usually in VR you decouple the head orientation from the body orientation. Might as well make use of the extra 6DoF control.

>>143504101

Thanks!

The terrain in the level currently is more like a placeholder. I plan to get some terrain generator to make heightmaps and texture the terrain because handsculpting terrain doesnt look as realistic than proper heightmaps.

>>143505371
since part of the shitposting seems to be blaming one name, I can't keep track of which, I feel like it's not just one person but a group, probably steamchat/irc faggotry.

How do you guys feel about the concept of getting points giving you advantages in the game? HP restores, unlockable parts of the stage, damage/combo bonuses, etc.

Does anyone have the latest version of Aseprite?

Currently running 1.1.4 and Aseprite not remembering the folder I want to save my work in is really annoying me more than it should. IIRC it's been fixed in the latest version (1.1.5+).

>>143505590
Depends on the context and execution, like anything else. The idea itself is sound, though. Look at Mario Bros, pretty successful and fun game.

>>143505590
One perspective is that it makes already-good play easier. There was a great post on the OpenMW forum somewhere about someone's idea for a skill system that rewarded failure, since that's how you learn. Like if you are a master lockpicker and pick an easy lock in one try, why should that teach you anything?

Debug tools yay.
Spider guys now move towards and away from the player depending on distance I dunno.

So yesterday/two days ago/whatever we were discussing the spider fella's projectiles.

Would you guys rather like a slow orb projectile thats easy to dodge but its slow speed makes it trouble in chaotic situations, or a laser that has full point-a-point-b connection after a blink and does low damage?

>>143505787

Good point, thanks!

>>143505787

My game is a hack n slash type deal, and I was thinking that if you score enough points through combos etc that the level would become larger/more difficult whilst giving you the rewards.

i.e. it's possible to complete level 1 without unlocking anything, but should you unlock certain areas the level is larger and more difficult/more enemies etc.

>>143504556
Yeah but I also have to move the head too, thus leading onto the "maybe I need some IK here" bit.

>>143504482
>>143504679
Yeah, looks like decoupling the head is a good start, at least for the cases where they dont do a 180.

Still need to factor in the player deliberately *moving* the head to a weird location though, such as inside the torso or something which is perfectly possible even if you are just doing seated tracking. In one case i've noticed a dev for a VR chat program just moved the player model down into the ground, though it just feels a little cheap.

>>143504615
In this case I need to take into account the possibility of there being a model unfortunately. :(

So I have a sword with a trigger collider, can anyone suggest a decent way to disable the collider when not attacking but also during the first few frames of the attack?

Use event animations, it lets you call a function when certain frames are reached with parameters. (Oddly enough, no booleans, but you can use an int)

So make the function like this:

ToggleSword(int val){
swordEnabled = (val == 1) ? true : false;
}

Sorry if I misunderstood the problem!

Thank you!

Is there a way to make a node, like in a data structure, in Unreal blueprints? I need something that can hold some data and a reference to something of the same type, so structs are out. Not that I dont mind C++, but I really dont want to retype all the crap I already have layed out thats integral to this little function.

Be careful not to repeat the gwyn's fate.

>>143508946
you're thinking too much

if you want to make a game, use an existing engine. if you want to make an engine, make an engine. but don't realistically expect you'll be doing both any time in the near future.

the best thing you can do is prototype your idea. you don't need to make the final game in your first attempt. make a tech demo, get some of the core mechanics in there, and test it out, gather interest/feedback, etc. THEN, knowing what you've learned, you can restart from the beginning and do it properly. by this point you'll understand how best to structure your classes because you've done it before and know what worked and what didn't work

>>143509546
>I need something that can hold some data and a reference to something of the same type
So a linked list? I'd be very surprised if there wasn't already a list you could use from Blueprint.

>>143509546

>professional 3d
that'd be a first

I initially used blender because it was free and had tutorials. I used its game engine for a while but unless you want to make terrible, terrible games, don't bother. You can kind of prototype in it but it's really not worth it. Just get unity for games.

If you want to git gud at blender I'd recommend first understand all the useful shortcuts. I don't know why everybody says the UI is terrible cause I've tried to work with maya and some other software and it seemed like a lot of bullshit coming from blender. I don't know any other 3d softwares.

Don't let my starting age fool you, I've only somewhat git gud recently.
Just follow a bunch of tutorials, use edge split and try to understand edgeflow and how to get nice loops. Also, Slide Edge, Remove Double, how to move/rotate/scale while locking in one or 2 axis...It's all pretty useful.

Then you can look into rigging and animating. I'm not expert but if you have questions feel free to ask.

I can't say a thing about unreal other than it looks good. I know the guy doing the Devil may cry-like game here uses blueprints and you might like that coming from blender's game engine but I personally felt a lot more freedom when I started programming properly. It's really easy to learn how to program and following along Unity's big project tutorials really gives you a good starting point imo. You can still look online to see if UE suits your needs more than unity.

All I can say is don't use BGE. It's not worth it.

Getting into all of this you might eventually hit a wall, big or small, but you're at a point where there's so much to learn that you can just move on to something else if it doesn't work. Start a bunch of little projects (after following tutorials for the basics and you feel confident that you can start exploring) that focus on one feature or uses a new feature you've learned in a cool way. If you look at my tumblr and scroll all the way down, you'll see quite a few projects, each with somewhat different playstyles and functions (although it's usually first/third person 3d environments, that's just my style I guess). Never throw anything away. I reuse assets all the time, be it scripts that you can modify or enhance or even models that you can tweak to fit into another setting. Don't lose hope and don't hesitate to ask me questions on tumblr, it's always a pleasure.

I quit after I tried to make the simplest idling game you can think of and it would lag tremendously. That was a year and a half ago but unless they did major changes, I don't see it becoming much better than unity. You have to basically make everything yourself. Unity has particle systems, a better lightning system, the whole component thing. I didn't really use python with it but I'm fairly confident that unity is just better atm.

>>143515348

After reading about the history of the CIA, it seems more like America is plagued by having too many competing organizations forming the government.

Like, here in Canada, we have Parliament and they in-fight a lot, but it's across clear party lines and over actual issues. In the states, it's more like the CIA, FBI, ATF, NSA, Congress, and a million little think tanks and lobbyist groups are all fighting for funding more than control.

Even in the military, which you'd think would act as one unified group, there's tons of fighting between the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. And the Marines only exist because of Army and Navy squabbling over ownership of forces and materiel.

Also note that the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines all have their own infantry, tanks, ships, boats, and planes. Each branch is a whole military unto itself, and they constantly fight with eachother over operations, prestige, visiblity, and most of all, cash money for new toys.

This assumes that the stuff you learn in school isn't already out of date by the time you're out, and that the people conducting interviews aren't corrupt as heck. Also, googs is right. China does it, and it's just another way to keep the Party's shakers and movers limited to who the people in charge already like.

that's by design though, the US government runs it military and information services as competitive sub-contractors to get the best out of them.
what isnt by design is when the oversight gets lax and the NSA ends up able to develop a huge cache of blackmail against officials and solidifies power in itself like some sorta living organism.

But it doesn't work. As far as I know, the only such US organization to not have a legacy of ashes (gr8 book to namedrop) is the FBI, and even then, they have incidents like Waco.

But the ATF, CIA, NSA, they're all wracked with scandals and incompetence. NSA dragnets don't work and violate the constitution, the ATF has never written a sensible or reasonable law (in the sense of it being clear and concise, not "LE MOTHER DEMAND ACTION :^)" stuff), the CIA has been responsible for the US literally never winning a single war since WWII (or maybe arguably Korea) and it's not like all the think tanks or lobbyist groups actually help anything ever. Even the supreme court is kinda shit and doesn't help the people -- did you know that according to the supreme court of the USA, police don't have a duty to protect civilians? The US is absolutely insane, and it's because power is at once too decentralized but still manages to be out of the reach of average people. Even the 13th amendment, the one about all people having equal protection by law, has been invoked about 10 times as often for corporations than it has for blacks and jews and women and other minorities/disprivileged groups that would have faced enough discrimination to necessitate the 13th amendment in the first place.

last week i did some cleaning and was throwing out books that i had when i was in school

i literally had like 100+ books that i couldn't get returns for. threw them all away.
what a giant waste of resources and money for things i could learn online (and are useless information in the first place)

>all this talk of corrupt governments and political ideologies
Make a game set in the ICAC, the Irrelevant Central African Country, a land fraught with corruption and poverty, but also blessed with bountiful natural resources and arable land. You are a leader with a band of exiles, idealists and soldiers of fortune who are out to spark the rebellion that brings the nation out of squalor and despair. First half is overthrowing the government and establishing your new democracy/dictatorship/feudal system/communist regime, and the second is building up your new nation while defending it from the inside and outside forces that threaten to pull it all down.

Plays like good old Jagged Alliance with a bunch of politics and intrigue tacked on.

>>143520307
Ignore that guy, just learn some basic programming concepts before you start with gamedev(it'll help loads)

>>143520415
>things i could learn online
this is why i never bought books in college. I just studied the stuff online when I had to, and copied out of a friend's book when there were exercises or specific lab directions to do

i think the only books i ever bought were French exercise books, an Aikido handbook (I figured it'd be useful to study after) and lab manuals for Chemistry.

FC2 didn't have factional warfare and didn't even support enemy grouping into opposing forces (i.e. you could kite groups of enemies from one area to another, and they wouldn't infight even if they were supposed to be opposed to eachother)

also the whole second act was literally the opposite, the generic afrikan nation you were in decided to unify, and all the white mercenaries flown in banded together to re-destablize it for no reason other than that they still needed a paycheck. there was no third act because FC2 has a very strange narrative structure

but FC2 was pretty cool that it was ballsy enough to have a plot that basically revolves around you being a western imperialist meddling in a country you don't understand, for reasons you never really had any faith in

all the jackal tapes were fantastic

>>143520307
i'm not trying to insult you it's just easy to fall into the trap of being a stack overflow copy/paste machine

If the book doesn't expect you to already know C# then use that first.
Copy pasting tutorials won't get you anywhere, unless your dream game is the game they're making in the tutorial.

oh alright. thanks anon

hmmm. ok

i suppose ill get another c# book, but ill make sure that one is programmer-beginner friendly.

thanks for the assistance anon.

You kinda only make things worse in Far Drive 2. Its been a while, but I think that most of the jobs you did were pretty much terrorism for not-Mugabe and not-Nkembe.

>>143520714
For all the shit people give the game, some of it deservedly, it was actually pretty damn great. Very unique setting and storyline, great use of physical objects instead of a HUD elements or menus, all those neat little features, and that feeling of being in a hostile place thats trying its hardest to kill you. In my mind, its an honorary Stalker game.

If you just need a introduction to programming in C# you can just download the C# yellow book.

It also had a lot of TECCNOLOGY -- gas cans would spew flames from the point of impact instead of just immediately exploding, it was possible to score glancing hits with grenades and rockets (and arrows, with that dlc), and the setting and atmosphere were GOAT. ANd of course, the fire mechanics were a lot of fun and, while not THAT realistic because it spreads a bit too fast, it was still fun to see that basically the whole world is flammable in the dry season. I still replay it from time to time.

The one complaint I never got was the degrading weapons, though. Yeah, they rot out a little quick, but it's a gameplay thing to keep you switching and it was genuinely a lot of fun to have a tense firefight get even more tense because of a sudden jam.

The IMFDB page for the guns and jamming is fucking hilarious though

The AI was deceptively good too. The lines they said would change depending both on how the battle is going and your reputation. At the start of the game, when they were down to a few guys they'd be like "Jesus christ who is this guy?", but at the end when you're a well known mercenary they'll scream "Oh shit its him!" as soon as they see you.

If you shoot a guy and just wound him out in the open, one of his buddies will run out and try to drag him to cover. Dont think I've seen that anywhere else.

Progress!

At least partially, got the textbox and it's text working good and got an interact button going.

Problem now is the character gets stuck looping their walking animation while in dialogue and I can't think right now how to stop that.

Still though I'm happy, been bashing my head against parts of this for days now.

>>143521956
>If you shoot a guy and just wound him out in the open, one of his buddies will run out and try to drag him to cover.
I don't think I've ever seen that. I tend to go for alpha-striking in these sorts of games, so I only go for kill shots and explosives once my cover's blown. That's fucking amazing.

>>143521463
here come dat lion boi

I don't really know how to make a decent looking laser projectile trail in GM.

It moves at a speed of 6 every step. So my thought would be to create the trail particle that was 6 pixels wide so theres no gap during movement, that also fades.

But when when it hits walls and is destroyed theres a gap in the trail.

And the trail looks awkward in general

How on earth does this shit work

>>143521910
That freaked me the fuck out because I forgot I had your stream on another desktop

>>143522103
I've only seen it happen a few times when I was using one of the crappy sniper rifles. I think that behavior only triggers when they dont know where you are, and because of the thermal vision they all seem to be equipped with they rarely dont.

>>143522056
Hey dude! Games lookin nice.

Whatever script you have that checks if the player ISNT pressing movement keys, just add an "or" in there for checking if there's dialogue up.

So just "if no movement keys are pressed, OR theres a chat goign on, stop moving"

>>143522056
>>143522373
What you should REALLY do is completely pause the rest of the game during dialogue.

>>143522459
Ah right, there is always this as well. If dialogue is controlled by a HUD object, you can always save the application surface to a "pause surface" and deactivate all other instances in the room, and just draw that surface behind the text box and such.

>>143522459
> completely pause the rest of the game during dialogue.
STALKER doesn't do that! It doesn't, why should anyone else's game?

why isnt mapping game dev

its dev for a game

This close to having implemented A* pathfinding for a grid of widgets using blueprints. Even closer to ordering a helium tank.

>>143522373
>>143522459
Thanks dudes, appreciate the help.

I am trying to avoid global pausing because it'd mess with an idea or two I have for the game later, might have to resort to it if I can't fix this though.

The player is already unable to move or do actions while dialogue is up, which is why it's weird that he starts doing a walking animation once dialogue starts. I've just noticed I've got my switch statement for this in my 'animation end' event and that is probably causing it.

Going to see how to move this around so it works as is.

Sorry for the stream fail you guys, will be back with a vengeance shortly.

1. you don't really think you can make a game and are just looking for an excuse to procrastinate it
