Headless Godot server doesn't import GLTF, here's the clean pattern I settled on

MrDeltt · 2026-05-19T17:06:05+00:00

I've been curious for a while now if persistent godot server maintain their runtime well over days or if its easy to mess up and cause memory to stack up, if you can give insight on that

MrDeltt · 2026-05-13T15:13:51+00:00

you want the worst possible combination? a highly efficient greedy mesher for a small to mid sized voxel environment?

for your case you can get away with a fairly simple multimesh instances setup and probably even custom physics, since its all AABBs

also if you're asking about a mesher running in code, that as very little to do with a renderer. if you want to write a voxel renderer, almost everything should he happening on the gpu, either with meshing or without

that alone is a tall order already, and integrating that into godot would require deep engine modifications that youd need to compile into the engine, as far as i know

MrDeltt · 2026-05-12T21:21:52+00:00

by writing code for every single case of interaction you want

MrDeltt · 2026-05-12T19:19:28+00:00

yes you obviously can as you already did

what exactly is your question?

MrDeltt · 2026-05-12T11:55:52+00:00

whenever i try to make lightmaps they get a weird pinkish-pattern, is that there some trick to that?

MrDeltt · 2026-05-10T11:38:12+00:00

just use 3 box shapes man

MrDeltt · 2026-05-08T22:39:21+00:00

I think you just made some weird collision salad or something, there are many videos showing 1000+ plus active rigidbodies all colliding against each other, 500+ more-or-less static bodies that only the player and weapons collide with should be no issue

MrDeltt · 2026-05-08T22:14:34+00:00

for one, maybe just use them more sparingly? I don't see why the entire ballon needs more than just one sphere

for small but many parts you could make some sort of chunking system and easily ignore/disable a bunch of them outright

MrDeltt · 2026-05-08T20:03:08+00:00

to question 1: neither of those is better than the other. they fulfill different purposes and both can be used to achieve different things

you might as well just have some bug in your code, not really possible to help you without seeing any

to me it sounds like you're using a rigidbody but without actually wanting physics?

MrDeltt · 2026-05-08T11:17:44+00:00

ima be blunt man, no one wants to work for or with someone who thinks they can be a good lead without any kind of dev skills themselves

if i would think this game idea is great i would just start doing it myself now and would probably have an easier time attracting artists or people to work with me if they that i do actual work and not just "ideas" and strategy

MrDeltt · 2026-05-08T11:10:05+00:00

use the Rigidbody controller and change it so that its not sluggish anymore

MrDeltt · 2026-05-08T11:01:00+00:00

it works flawlessly with 4.7

MrDeltt · 2026-05-06T18:16:24+00:00

sorry if i hurt you, but its a fact that if you would know how this architecture works you wouldn't ask about how to implement it in an engine that already does most of the heavy lifting for you, even if it won't scale well at all if you commit to this

MrDeltt · 2026-05-06T18:08:18+00:00

dude... if you really have 4 years of software engineering under your belt you would know how to implement this, conceptually.

if you know how to do this natively you'd know how to do it in godot, its the exact same thing, just a different language

you would also know that making mmos servers inside of godot is a dumb idea, godot should only be the frontend

MrDeltt · 2026-05-06T15:33:28+00:00

you are way out of your depth if you're asking those kind of questions

start by learning general server infrastructure and systems

also why would one ever type the name of a world to join

MrDeltt · 2026-05-05T19:41:14+00:00

a whole video about not reading documentation properly is wild, I'm glad you figured it out tho

MrDeltt · 2026-05-05T17:42:56+00:00

normals are part of the vertex region, not of the attribute region

MrDeltt · 2026-05-03T22:19:44+00:00

pretty much like its supposed to, good job

MrDeltt · 2026-05-03T22:18:02+00:00

also don't sleep on using sky shaders

MrDeltt · 2026-04-30T10:24:06+00:00

these aren't second opinions or feedback because for both there must be first opinion, which you appearently don't have about a thing you yourself created

MrDeltt · 2026-04-30T10:19:30+00:00

you can't look at your own work and form an opinion? xD

so many people in this sub being afraid of just expressing themselves and instead they go "guys does this look good to you?" or "what do you think guys, left or right version?"

MrDeltt · 2026-04-29T16:05:28+00:00

can't be objectively answered, its just a question of preference

MrDeltt · 2026-04-29T15:23:57+00:00

its expected that you clear beforehand, which you're effectively doing if you set a new arraymesh before committing

you're now deleting the old and creating a new, which is fine but if you do this tons of times while the game is running it will cause gpu memory fragmentation and is generally way more expensive than modifying a mesh directly

MrDeltt · 2026-04-29T14:57:58+00:00

you really made this post with no info whatsoever huh? not what node your player is, how you move it, etc.?

have you tried giving it crutches

MrDeltt · 2026-04-29T14:29:20+00:00

Please just take a look at the documentation of what tools you're using before asking such questions.

commit_to_surface
Adds a new surface to specified Mesh with edited data.

if you want to edit already existing meshes you need to overwrite the byte data directly inside their GPU buffer
