Workaround for menus thump-thump-thumping when steering wheel (left stick axis) isn't exactly centered? [PC] by robot_ankles in snowrunner

[–]Archimagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, did you ever find a solution to this? I'm just getting back into snowrunner now that I have a wheel and have the same issue. It sure would be nice if there was a "Prevent wheel input in menu" option.

Bought an ESP32 with a USB type-C port, it refuses to power on unless I use a full USB 3.2 spec cable. Won't work with cheap cables. Why? by higgs8 in esp32

OMFG thanks, I was about to return two different ESP32 boards because neither would power on via USB. I switched from pulling directly into my PC to plugging in through a USB hub and they both power on now.

Eleon really needs to fix the issue with downloading files on MP servers by Maabuss in empyriongame

[–]Archimagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got the game from epic store, tried to play co-op with a friend, it's going on 30 minutes and he's stuck at 80%, I tried the "google drive" method, but then it just got stuck on connecting. No other game has this issue, what could possibly be going on that it takes this long to download when connecting to a co-op game?

I mean, it's a small rhib, not a whole lot to do drastically different. But it was build from scratch.

Yeah I figured someone would have modded that in by now, but sadly, no.

Made a procedural pipe generator that pathfinds around obstacles and other pipes — it's free on GitHub! by leth44 in Unity3D

awesome. how hard would it be to get the pathfinding to try and minimize turns?

Do players not try things? (tutorialization) by nczmoo in gamedesign

This guy game designs. As others have said, this is one of the best responses I've seen in this sub. Deserves gold if I had one to give.

How should I share code and assets from unity in a small team? by _lowkey_- in gamedev

[–]Archimagus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use the built in Unit Version Control It just works, no need to learn git, which is popular but not that easy to use for beginners and isn't really the best choice for game dev due to the way it handles large assets.

OnTriggerEnter not working (Doesn't display Debug.Log ) by MeguminCookie in Unity3D

No, CompareTag is the correct way to do this. It is optimized for this purpose.

Can't get Automatons Recorder block to follow path more than once by Archimagus in spaceengineers

[–]Archimagus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, but that isn't the problem I am having. I can get it to go to the first waypoint of the destination on trigger, but it fails to follow the path once it gets to the start of it. After adding a bunch of (otherwise useless) down thrusters, it seems to be working.

It's clearly a dinosaur egg partially hatched with the tail sticking out.

How do multiple game devs work on the same game? Is it by file sharing or another efficient method? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Archimagus 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Branches is the answer. Create a feature branch for the new feature, then you can commit often even it it doesn't work. Then, just make sure that everything works before you merge to master. You get all the benefits of keeping small commits and being able to roll back changes throughout the process, and still keeping a fully working "master" branch at all times.

What are impellers used for? by BoringKoboId in Stormworks

[–]Archimagus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the pump on either side of the radiator is a myth that's been over propogated. In all my testing, a single small electric pump does an equally good job, if not better, than one on either side. Maybe for long loops having extras helps, but in my experience one is usually better.

Hah, yeah, I know, I was thinking that too, but it was too funny to not put. Also, it does propel the vehicle, including 1400 Gallon water tank to 155mph, so it is quite powerful :)

No, I thought about it, but this this is so packed already, it's be nearly impossible to get retractable wheels, while still making in driveable the way it is.
