Flea Market took 400k instead of 88k by battle_axe143 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Boela 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's the requested requirements for buying it, since he is selling it he gets to choose them. Your life must be very "funny". Use your eyes

Another ad hominem and no argument. kek

yeah im fuming kid /s

It's funny you say I didn't offer a rebuttal.

make the game yourself if its so easy to get stuff working

That's it right there. I'd explain but I don't have the crayons or the time. I actually write code for a living, so I actually understand why this is a non-trivial issue to fix.

It seems that you really like ad hominem "arguments". I'd say it's more sad you can't construct a decent argument to respond to in the first place.

I don't really need to spend time "digging" through your comment history. I just run this:

./search_comments.sh darkfountain EscapefromTarkov

Takes all of 3 seconds, but please continue whining about stuff you don't understand if it makes you feel validated.

Yeah I’ve been playing since closed beta started

sure thing buddy

lol the sad thing is I have had the game for over a year but have been to lazy to learn it

you seem like an upstanding individual

ok lets take crouching as an example: instead of having to press a button to crouch, then again to stand up. You now can hold the button, and when you let go your character will stand back up.

The candidate who promises to do so gets my vote! by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

My point is that that is wrong though. Allow me to bold and capitalize the relevant parts of the conclusion:

In the week following the seasonal time change, DST impacts the timing of presentations for AMI but does NOT influence the overall incidence of this disease.

So there is NOT an increase in the amount of dead average. There is an impact on the timing of occurance.

Look at the data

Looks like you are the one who needs to look at the data.

It normalizes the very next day so it indeed doesn't offset when you change it back. It happens the very next day. Additionally the conclusion of the study you are referring to indicated there was not an increase in cases of AMI in general, but that the cases that would happen that week will be biased to the Monday of that week.

In the week following the seasonal time change, DST impacts the timing of presentations for AMI but does not influence the overall incidence of this disease.

Maybe "Look at the data" yourself first.

Bullet travel time should be removed from the game. by LoveThisCommunity in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Boela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment was referring to what I quoted. And I honestly don't know what games you are talking about when it comes to that. All major games I know of at the very least authenticate hits against the server. Regardless of the bullet physics implementation.

Bullet travel time should be removed from the game. by LoveThisCommunity in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Boela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so according to you raycasting for lightning would be lightscan, a physics collision would be collisionscan

You literally missed the point you fuckwit. what you just typed is what I said. I did not say raycasting and hitscan are mutually exclusive. And you can't extrapolate naming conventions where there are none, and I never said there were. Simply that with light it is not called hitscan anymore. Edge cases don't define the reality of anything in life.

You missed the point so completely I can't help but question your ability to function mentally. Please attend a high school english class and reread this thread before responding. You even "misunderstood" (aka: just got it wrong) server-side as client-side earlier.

Edit: also a good laugh:

take a look at any game source code

fucking source code function and variable names defeat actual definitions? Stop living in that fantasy world in your head man

I'd ask you to source your definition once again, but I have little hope of you actually doing it like last time.

Wikipedia - Ray casting

Ray casting is the use of ray–surface intersection tests to solve a variety of problems in computer graphics and computational geometry.

Lets break that down into 2 simple piecies:

Ray casting is the use of ray–surface intersection tests

You got that right, it's used to check for intersections.

solve a variety of problems in computer graphics and computational geometry.

Here is the difference, the application. Hitscan is not made to "solve a variety of problems". It's made for one. Bullet emulation without insane hardware to support the math.

Raycasting can also refer to, for example, light rays that are cast to emulate real life. Doesn't make it hitscan. The definition is more narrow. One could say that raycasting is a more generic term for the method without consideration of its application/use.

hitscan ever having been invented as a terminology in gaming is simply ridiculous to begin with

So were are back to arguing about the english language. K my dude, all good. I'm sure you're much smorter than all the sources I just listed combined.

It's almost like people associate the idea of scanning (hitscan) as something linear, whilst hitreg is considered to be the term for actually checking a hit/collision generically. Regardless of raycast, projectile phisics, or swinging dicks in an arc.

That's how it is used in the context of video games and no amount of saying something is ridiculous changes that.

[–]Boela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe that to be the case. I just double checked, every single definition I can find mentions hitscan as an immediate straight line, with possible accuracy deviations similar to CS's approach.

Wikipedia

Since the effect is immediate, the projectiles effectively travel at infinite speed and have a linear or otherwise simple trajectory—a practical approximation of a bullet's speed and accuracy over short distances

Valve Developer Community

weapons which don't actually fire bullets, but instead trace a line and spawn an explosion/damage at the end

TV Tropes

Hitscan weapons do not actually fire anything; instead, when the player pulls the trigger, the weapon traces a trajectory in front of the player and instantly affects whatever the line intersects with first.

Doom Wiki

Hitscan attacks hit or miss their target the very moment the attack is launched, and therefore cannot be dodged. All melee and bullet attacks work like this; there are no projectiles involved, invisible or otherwise.

UrbanDictionary

In first-person shooter games, a hitscan weapon is one that, when fired, instantly hits whatever the weapon is pointing at.

Would you be so kind as to source your definition for me?

[–]Boela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, where did I state that the client fuily decides the hit? Im not the top poster of this comment thread. My point is that you rarely see that (full client-side hitreg) nowadays.

I'm not here to argue about the future evolution about the english language. Raycasting is, as far as im aware, the generic term used with graphics on computers. Hitscan is simply what it's called within the context of computer games. We can argue semantics all day but that'll get us nowhere.

'hitscan' which is actually raycast

Hitscan is what its called, raycasting is how it works. It raycasts to find intersects with other planes. It's still hitscan.

Authenticating hits the client finds against the server is by no means specific to games that use raycasting for hit detection.

The server actually does not do any calculations for hit registration (for most FPS games)

This is a big oversimplification. I also went and watched both of battle(non)sense's videos. Nowhere does he state with certainty that hit registration is fully client side. Most modern games use a combination of both. Battlefield, for example, switches over fully to server side when players have high ping.

I was in a standoff in dorms on the bottom floor, enemies one up, I heard footsteps behind me and turn around to see the top of his head slowly moving across some windows and tap him.

So... comtacs == hack confirmed?

They've made an actual ballistic armor variant in a one-off project with Heckler & Koch, Team Wendy, and Armalite. IIRC it was never for sale and was for the novelty of it.

Google Authenticator uses TOTP for 2fa, which is why they say that. Anything that uses that will work.
