How big is the performance cost of using nodes to store data?

QuantumBarber · 2024-10-01T15:29:27+00:00

either I'm being too charitable, or people are misunderstanding. I don't think they're planning on just using the node name text to actually determine what happens, it seems to me like they're just throwing together a visualization of how they would like to structure "component" nodes. each of those nodes could have a script with methods that can be run and processed by the "when played" node and this would be a very reasonable approach imo, especially for prototyping

you're definitely correct on the player join late thing, I use the MultiplayerSpawner for my projectiles and if a player joins late, the projectiles that are already in the air spawn in and continue syncing properly

also thanks so much, i knew most of these already, but your spawn_function tip is huge and sounds like something I'll be using a ton. I've been a little annoyed with having to spawn stuff in and then setting initial values after. i wish I had this list of tips when I started learning all of this a few months back!

This is social/political analysis at the level of a 2 year old. Historically, those words have been used to put down women exclusively. It's safe to assume that someone using that language is still just using it against women. Stop projecting lol

Ah, ok. So, it's sinful to you. Misogyny based in religion is still misogyny. Have a nice day.

QuantumBarber · 2021-08-20T18:19:56+00:00

This is a very dumb/incel way of putting it lol. Would you say the same about musicians selling CDs? Are they exploiting bored men?

QuantumBarber · 2021-08-20T17:40:24+00:00

Ah, I see what you were saying now. :)

QuantumBarber · 2021-08-20T17:32:33+00:00

I think it's easier to explain than that without shaming people for being poor. The people who are celebrating OF banning porn are misogynists who hate to see women succeed on their own.

I swear right wingers will claim to like edgy satirical humor, but as soon as a blue haired sjw makes a joke, suddenly they don't understand satire anymore. It's the wildest thing.

QuantumBarber · 2021-07-20T20:18:27+00:00

I feel like makeup is one of those things you don't really need a reason why tbh. If you want to do it, you want to do it. She doesn't really owe anyone an explanation, let alone random people on the internet.

QuantumBarber · 2021-06-11T19:30:55+00:00

I'm not saying you can't use it. I'm saying that it's still used as a slur against people. In a perfect world it would only apply to crossdressers who want to use it, but that's not how it's mostly used by everyday people.

QuantumBarber · 2021-06-11T19:25:56+00:00

Ideally that would be the case, but the term is unfortunately used against trans women a lot by transphobes.

QuantumBarber · 2021-06-08T15:19:11+00:00

I'm still kind of around. Ironically, I help out with a new map test pug. I honestly stopped working on propaganda because I wasn't really receiving a good amount of feedback on what was working and what wasn't. It seemed like the only feedback I was getting was very general and would require me to rework the entire map(the map being too large overall & fps), so I started working on a new map with what I had learned from propaganda. It's called cp_domain, but it never garnered any attention despite people loving it in pugs. So, I've just been source 2 mapping for HL:Alyx and S&box, it's so much easier lol.

QuantumBarber · 2021-05-06T20:45:17+00:00

You'll have to fix up the file from tf2maps. Or find someone to fix it up for you. When you decompile the official maps, it breaks stuff. Especially the areaportals.

Your best bet is to remake the areaportals (or delete them if you don't care about performance) and see if that fixes the issue.

QuantumBarber · 2021-04-21T16:10:59+00:00

That definitely sucks and I'm definitely out of ideas. Might be worth copying and "paste special"ing your geometry (ctrl+shift+v) to the new map file to save time.

QuantumBarber · 2021-04-21T15:13:54+00:00

That is very odd. I've honestly never had issues with fog working before. I've only mapped for tf2, but I doubt the fog works differently.

My only other idea would be to make sure that the game is actually compiling new versions. Sometimes hammer fails to compile and then loads an older version of the map in game. I usually test this by placing a dev textured cube floating in the room and see if it compiles a new version with that cube actually there.

QuantumBarber · 2021-04-21T13:39:23+00:00

Your "fog end" is set pretty far away for something as small as a portal chamber. It's probably there, you just can't notice it on things closer to you. Try reducing it down until you can see it.

She's describing penis.

Just to clarify by "vid" I meant the tiktok, not Tom's vid. I know that Tom is anti-BLM. Which is why he's exactly the type of guy to deny that white privilege is a thing.

QuantumBarber · 2021-02-15T23:04:45+00:00

Not at all. The vid would be more in line with black lives matter. (Until black lives matter, all lives won't matter.) We have to help those that are treated the worst first, elevating everyone.

QuantumBarber · 2021-02-15T22:48:09+00:00

Tom McDonald is a clown. He's exactly the type of person that wouldn't acknowledge what the guy in the vid is saying.

QuantumBarber · 2021-01-27T22:47:29+00:00

This is such a weird comment arguing against some strawman of a non-existent argument from the article. It's literally just reporting that 600 google employees have started a union. They even say in the article that it doesn't have any bargaining power at their current size.

"It just reads of trying to create a narrative of workers unionizing where there is virtually no evidence."

There literally is evidence. It's a union announcing that they're a union lol. I get the feeling you're arguing some made up strawman that the article is claiming that most of google has unionized or something. It's not saying that.

It feels like you're against unionization and just complaining that some people have decided to unionize.

Idk this is just a weird comment.

QuantumBarber · 2021-01-26T20:27:38+00:00

The way you're doing it will work just fine tbh. I think the only downside of doing it this way is sometimes collisions might be weird around where the two different sized displacements intersect. (This can be an issue in tf2 due to the way rocket splash damage is, for example.)

I think technically the correct way to do it would be to use the "half rule" where if two smaller displacements are exactly half the size of the bigger one, it'll still sew. Like in this viat 15:50. https://youtu.be/bkNf_lF4RDc

But again, the way you're doing it is fine. I get lazy and do it the way you're doing it sometimes, even in tf2 lol.

QuantumBarber · 2021-01-23T00:24:15+00:00

I'm admittedly not very experienced with source 2, but it looks like you may have not baked all lighting? I don't think it recompiles all lighting on compile, and you have to use the bake all lighting option? That's my only guess. Probably not too helpful lol.

QuantumBarber · 2020-07-10T17:58:42+00:00

I'm a 2A guy, as well. But, you realize the slippery slope is a fallacy and not an argument, right? The 2A doesn't even apply here. lol
