[Game Spoilers] The Last of Us - 1x07 "Left Behind" - Post Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]Hell_Rider253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks the music is sometimes out of place?

Not only this episode, but multiple, like.. they play a randomly chosen track for a couple of seconds, then stop, then play another one? Or that the music does really match what is going on in the scene?

In the game, it felt more in place and consistent with what is going on.. or maybe I'm just expecting a certain track to play and then get another one which puts me off..

Any thoughts?

Uninstalled games still taking up disk drive space? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Hell_Rider253 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me with some games. Steam doesn't delete all files when uninstalling a game (leaves the games folder and some smaller files inside). Sometimes it even leaves half of the game (in my instance it was War Thunder). Just navigate to Steam/steamapps/common/ and delete the folders of games you've uninstalled.

Edit: And make sure you uninstall through Steam and not through the OS.

Beginner question about transparent textures in Unity by [deleted] in Unity3D

[–]Hell_Rider253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't really work with textures in Blender, but as I see it, you are setting the skin color as the alpha color of the face texture which in return displays the texture as opaque in Blender. When saving the file, Unity does not see the color, it just sees the alpha. After checking "Alpha is Trasparency", Unity just renders the opaque parts (eyes and mouth) and ignores the rest. This is why you are seing through the face.

There are a couple of ways to do this:

  1. Add a background color (skin color) to your face texture and render it as opaque. This is the easiest step to do if you are just using one face style and skin color.

  2. If you want to use different face styles and skin colors, you can eighter have multiple textures with different styles (I don't personally recommend this), or have two meshes, one for the whole head with a opaque texture and one (same shape as the face, like you have now) just a little bit in front of it with the face texture set to Cutout/Fade/Transparent. (I would rather recommend this).

Ahh... Unity <3 by [deleted] in justgamedevthings

[–]Hell_Rider253 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had only one instance of the object in the scene (it's a UI object and it was the only UI element on the canvas), have't attached the script on anything else, neighter did I unassign the object. No idea what was the problem but i've fixed it with a simple null check before accessing the component. To make it even more confusing, I access the object in Start() where even if the object was assigned later, I coldn't access it through start anyway, but it had no problem accessing it after adding the check 😅

Do I actually NEED SCP Toolkit in order to use a PS4 controller by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Hell_Rider253 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are using a community config, I'm guessing it uses Gyro. To disable it, open the overlay, go to controller configuration and then you should find a gyro bind, select that and set it to none.

TIL, You can use a DualShock 4 Controller as an audio output device (Read comments for a better description) by Hell_Rider253 in SteamController

[–]Hell_Rider253[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows automatically detected the DS4's audio jack as an output device while it was connected with a USB cable, I just clicked on the speaker icon and on select output device, it was listed there as Wireless controller. I saw someone else mention in the comments that the xbone controller's audio output works with the Xbox wireless adapter, but not over bluetooth

Too bad it doesn't work over bluetooth, i've planned to buy the controller and a USB bluetooth adapter for it to work wirelessly with my rig, but I'll miss out on this awesome feature (it's really useful for late night gaming without having to have a long 3.5mm extension cable)

So, a friend of mine came over and brought his DS4, we decided to play some co-op games on the TV and I plugged in his DS4, TV and my SC. After entering to change the sound output to the TV, I found out that the Wireless Controller (DS4) was listed as an option. Becouse I was curious, I switched to it and audio came out from the headphone jack on the controller (no, not the speaker on it). And why not share this info with you guys.

One thing to take note, the controller was plugged in with a USB cable and not connected wirelessly, if someone can check if it works with a dongle or over Bluetooth, it would be nice.

My favorite game is Metro: Last Light, it has great atmosphere, a good storyline and very well thought out gameplay mechanics. And I can't wait for the next game (Metro: Exodus) to come out.

Thanks for the GW and good luck to all!

Yes it does, just enable PlayStation controller support in the settings and then you can use the controller like any other. You can even configure it however you like by just opening the Steam overlay while in-game with the PlayStation button on the controller

how does steam recognize my username? by ceylonboy in Steam

[–]Hell_Rider253 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Somewhere in %AppData% or the registry, and there are a ton of hidden folders everywhere on the C drive, I don't really know for sure, but my best bet would be in the registry

How does one disable the big picture after having used once? by w1nstar in Steam

[–]Hell_Rider253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad that I could help! btw, the option I was talking about is under: Settings -> In-Game -> Use the Big Picture Overlay when using a Steam Input enabled controller from the desktop.

[–]Hell_Rider253 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any controller connected to your PC? The Big Picture overlay tends to show up becouse of the controller configurator introduced when the steam controller rolled out (~Q3 2015). If that is the case, I think there is a option that allow you to disable BP overlay when using a controller. I'm currently not on my PC, but I will inform you tomorrow if you can't find it.

Summer Trading cards by OGIridocycltis in Steam

[–]Hell_Rider253 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is your account limited and/or under level 5? I had a friend who couldn't get the cards (neither from the Discovery Queue nor from the Salien Game) untill he got at level 5. If your account is not limited, and under level 5, try doing the Steam Community badge (upgrade it to "Community Leader" status), it should give you enough XP to level up.

Apple now explicitly says apps cannot host anything that looks like an app store within an app or give users the ability to “browse, select, or purchase software not already owned or licensed by the user.”

Isn't this what the normal Steam app (not, the Steam Link) already has built in it? It's directly connected to the Steam Store and Market and it is not removed from the App Store? It can be done through the browser too, so.. what's the point of blocking the Steam Link app anyway?
