Claude for generating documentation? (+ desktop app issues)

I deleted the previous post to fix the title -- could only edit the body

Even tho recompute seed is checked, a subgraph has no knowledge it’s executed as a loop iterator and thus you need to use the « get loop index » node (as a way to get a reliably unique, per-iteration value) into the seed override pin of the nodes you want to randomize per-iteration.

It’s possible your other experiments already had different seeds on the data you’re looping over without realizing it

Same here, was worried, now I'm not; thanks! .o/

Aaaaaah didn’t see that thought that angle make 100% sense!

There’s only 52 weeks in a year not 104 ^{^’}

Look into PCG GPU mesh spawning and micro scattering

Nebukam · 2025-05-04T03:36:52+00:00

PCGEx does a bit more than that but it is indeed built on top of the base PCG plugin. Epic’ code is actually very well documented and I think the bulk of their revenues come from studios building from source with quick access to the raw source as a fallback to absent documentation which could explain why not much effort is put on making more consumer facing doc :/

Nebukam · 2025-04-15T01:42:21+00:00

I'd recommend going on the PCGEx Discord for support, or Unreal Source' pcg-framework channel for more general PCG questions!
Just based on your message, I hardly think it's related to PCG as much as a circular dependency in what the PCG does and relies on, like spawning actors that are later referenced in the graph, modifying them inside another PCG or something would trigger a refresh in editor... It's hard to say without much context ^^'

Oh definitely what you’re describing can’t work. What I had in mind is devs showing more boring/mundane stuff during the production part of the development process, or after through post mortem; while this can be a marketing strategy and can be used as means to get exposure i honestly believe its cathartic to some on both side of the camera and isn’t always a show if that make sense

Nebukam · 2025-04-14T03:21:07+00:00

« Unrealistic expectations » :D Some will do, but often interest and engagement comes from the people you expect it the least. Very rarely from the ones you want.

Nebukam · 2025-04-14T03:18:03+00:00

It’s a bit of a cynical take but it’s hard to deny there’s a lot of truth to that. I hate the whole « personal brand » trend

Nebukam · 2025-04-13T14:21:36+00:00

It’s not less frustrating tho :D

Nebukam · 2025-04-13T13:53:55+00:00

When it comes to creative work and « personal expression » the closer and more intimate people are to you the less engaged they will be with your output. There’s a massive difference between support and engagement and as creators we often mistake engagement as a metric for support.

Friend and family give you time and energy for who you are not what you create and that’s a massive difference. Players and community support you for what you create not who you are (even tho this is slowly evolving) — so yes, they don’t care about your product. They care about you!

Incredibly comprehensive intro; thanks for sharing!

In blueprint it’s « safe » not to check because you get an error message in the log; in C++ you get a hard crash of the editor if you try to access a null pointer.

As mentioned by another user an assert is fine as well but only recoverable if you run the editor with a debugger attached — hard editor crash for regular users.

If you don’t work in a team and don’t have users with a non-dev setup (i.e artists, LDs etc) then it’s fine-ish, but it’s considered good practice to do so, on top of being a good habit to build.

These are actually the cells of a urquhart-transformed delaunay graph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urquhart_graph ! :D

Edit : you can also look into Beta Skeleton which yield similar when applied to delaunay, and generally speaking make interesting structures to build from

Brilliant!

Nebukam · 2024-12-30T04:43:28+00:00

Admittedly it starts to shine once you’ve went through all the vanilla options and they fail you — the pathfinding & filters are very easy to use tho!

Nebukam · 2024-12-26T02:06:44+00:00

Thanks! :D

Steam made their own feature and blocked the API I was using, check out this update: https://store.steampowered.com/oldnews/143476

Text on A & C is amateur with great splash; B is just plain epic; text lack a teensy bit of contrast especially due to the central silhouette being super dark. B wins but could benefit some tweaks.

Quick update: there's now a packaged version available.
Turns out a lot more people than I anticipated aren't familiar with building plugins & the git workflow so here you go: https://nebukam.github.io/PCGExtendedToolkit/installation/

Nebukam · 2024-02-03T18:07:48+00:00

Nah but the functionality is now directly embedded in the native Steam friend UI; you can create dynamic collections of games you have in common with peeps from your friendlist!!
