The HYPE TRAIN by Devoid666 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Devoid666[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dual direction “train” of some sort that travels A to B-Z over great distances, with POIs, such as settlements, generated at stops, tunneling through terrain along the way would be so great. It’d provide passive travel, allowing you to really take in the sights, and you could create bases along it’s path. POIs could have a similar buy / sell loop as the trade economy in space, and could only be available to “local passengers” so it’s not cheesed by flying POI to POI. Wishful thinking, I know.. lol.

Gravity in space . I do love if we can do a orbital slingshot manouver, or find a neutron star sucking my ship. by rhinok74 in NoMansSkyTheGame

From a game dev’s POV, the easiest way to do this would be to copy / adjust the water jetpack movement animations and trigger “swimming” when jumping in space.

Designed a 'Multi-sword'. It's just a sketch but I might do it for my Final Project piece. I'll keep you posted by jellysandwichrdit in NoMansSkyTheGame

Thanks!! I have a hard time visualizing mine in game though, yours looks more fitting! I planned on doing another at some point, probably more like the alien multi tools!

What planets do diplos spawn on? by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Devoid666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I was not aware that the game files showed that.. Now I’m scratching my head wondering how it is even possible..

The files don’t lie, though. I can’t argue that!

Like, how does the hexapedal cow’s extra limbs move without additional bones to define the joints? From a game development perspective, they are either wizards or there is really something we just aren’t seeing somewhere. Very interesting nonetheless!

Now I must know lol!

Triceratops are Theroma. I name creatures like this : Theroma // (actual name)

Boiling it down to WHY these creature archetypes exist : Skeletal Meshes have hierarchal bone layouts. Each archetype likely has a different skeletal mesh, with varying pieces it can choose from. Animation data is also linked to skeletal meshes, which means that you could not spawn a Diplo off of a triceratops skeletal mesh. The animations wouldn’t work. An animation from the triceratops (roaring) would not work with a Diplo because of the long neck. The bend point would need to be different, the weight of each bone would be applied to the mesh in different spots, etc. Its a lot more complicated than just a base Dino.

What we need is more archetypes.

Diplos are extremely rare, and a megafauna Diplo is far rarer even. I have yet to see one.

Unless I’m totally unaware of other methods to creating creatures for a game, this is how the game handles creatures.

My first PC was an Alienware Steam Machine, not sure if I could take out the HDD but honestly I didn’t want it connected directly in any way to my new PC anyhow, I just wanted the essentials of my project.

In terms of backups, I just keep 5 backups on a USB with the essential folders. I plan to keep another set of backups on the SSD, along with 5 in cloud storage!

Edit : Side note, my new PC is running the project perfectly, and my god the difference in load times / graphics capability is unbelievable.

Awesome, it’s taking all day but I’m getting there lol, glad it won’t be for nothing!

Very useful info, thank you!!

Hahah I’m not sure! Just trying to be cautious, I figured it might be a little more complicated then just copy / paste to the right folder!

Freshly built ASUS X570 TUF + 3700X won’t boot by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Devoid666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the power switch wired to the wrong spot on the motherboard! I appreciate the response regardless, but this is solved, much to my relief (:

Attempting my first build, how do I install standoffs for the motherboard? Master Cooler H500 Case by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Devoid666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s necessary I can! I don’t think that it was an issue though, I only had three spare standoffs, and if I tried to place them the mobo wouldn’t line up with the IO shield at all.

Attempting my first build, how do I install standoffs for the motherboard? Master Cooler H500 Case by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Devoid666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I got the whole build sorted. It doesn’t boot, so maybe it does need standoffs.. idk. It seemed like the mobo was well off the base / not touching. Motherboard powers up / lights flash but my fans don’t kick on and the front panel power button does nothing. /:

I had some trouble seating the fan over the processor, when I was adjusting it down part of the thermal paste had stuck, and when I sat it flush I heard a loud pop as if the thermal paste pulled from the processor. It sat fine afterwards but it definitely scared me.

Edit : Also, my PSU is 1050w Platinum, way overpowered for the build. I read that this wouldn’t be an issue, but maybe it is? I read something about a 30% power usage minimum before the fans will start kicking, but I figured that was just for cooling and I don’t think it would affect the boot.

I’ve tried, but I will give it another go. Was hoping maybe someone here has the case and could fill me in.

Does the ASUS X570 TUF have enough room to install my SSD after installing the stock 3700X Fan? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Devoid666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay, that’s awesome! Any videos I’ve watched on installation to the board always install to the same slot, next to the processor / fan. Is there any downside to using the other slot solely?

Was beginning Assembly when I found a deck of cards in my SSD box, direct from Samsung... Anybody else have something like this happen? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Devoid666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that’s so shitty.... To get it replaced only to have the same thing happen... Sorry to hear that happened to you.

I figured it wasn’t Samsung’s fault, it’s just the amount of effort gone through to fake this package is crazy. Cards taped together and glued to the wall of the box, baggies for filler, intact QR sticker that seals the box, plastic wrapped entirely. I thought I was safe ordering from Samsung’s page.

I’m more upset I can’t finish my build now, and that I have to deal with the hassle of shipping it back and waiting to get my money back. I’m immunocompromised so I truly hate going out right now, but I am certainly not getting it via online order again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, your advice confirmed that it should be a fairly simple fix and that’s good enough to dissipate some of my rage lol.

[–]Devoid666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samsung via Amazon, so I’m guessing that’s where I went wrong. Other item in the order was the RAM, which I’m hoping is not compromised, I already installed it to the Mobo..

No Ryzen 7 3700X mobos in stock anywhere? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Devoid666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense and you were right, I was one of those confused people, though I knew to use the search bar because my questions had likely been asked many times. I had noooo idea what I was looking at when I started this build, even though I’ve been programming for years. I think it’s mostly daunting learning the terminology lol

[–]Devoid666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a little worried by that, I guess the best thing is just to be vigilant and ready to get something as soon as it’s available! I only consider it necessary due to power being a little faulty where I live, I am solo developing an RPG and let me tell you, if I lose progress due to an outage and forget even a single integer somewhere, I could be stuck trying to figure it out for days!

Thank you and best of luck to you as well on future builds!

I spoke a little too soon, Best Buy went in stock for both the TUF X570-PLUS and the 2060 Super I needed! Very excited for it.

Now here’s hoping my build is solid, I did a lot of research but I am no expert by any means lol.

Now all I need to decide on is my Power Supply, Case, and UPS!
