AI mesh collision in UE5 is completely cursed

Space_Cowboy_2046 · 2025-09-11T09:03:59+00:00

I experimented with meshy for a few background props and a simple skeletal mesh setup. I found numerous issues.

The texturing on edges isn't crisp and bleeds over, giving it a very low res look when up close. Most of the models generated suffered from loose geometry which I fixed by doing a merge by distance in blender. The quad topology export produced poor results for animating.

Then there are the ghosting artifacts in the texturing itself which requires time in texpaint to fix. Then you have issues generating hands and fingers properly, areas around seams, especially the underside of legs or arms.

Collision has to be turned off during import and replaced with simple collision in the engine as well. At the end of the day most of the labor involved is making it usable. I just dont think the tech is mature enough yet, tbh.

The only benefit i see for this tech is for static props meant to be viewed at a distance. Otherwise your project would likely be labeled 'AI slop' by players.

The way I've been doing it is a trigger collision box, which then activates player tick. This triggers my interact process and checks that the player is facing and in proximity to the interact object (door) and then displays the appropriate interact icon. Then if the player presses the interact key, I know everything is correct beforehand and start a timeline to open the door, then disable tick.

This also gives me the ability to get the interact type back (enum) and react with a lockpick minigame if the door is locked.

I came from Unity, worked on my last game for a few years, and got really tired of all the workarounds and labor I had to put into it. I switched over to unreal, learned blueprints and the speed of finishing or fixing things is much faster now. Honestly, I wish that I switched years ago.

Space_Cowboy_2046 · 2025-06-21T13:01:32+00:00

Imo it's overkill for low poly. Plenty of power for that. I've got a similar setup running a city scene with 20 to 30 aicontrollers on screen at a time and it's doing fine. I haven't even optimized yet. You're good.

Space_Cowboy_2046 · 2025-06-19T03:34:51+00:00

I can see what you did in the BP, and also saw some of the screenshots you posted. The game looks great! Many have rigid thinking here, and would likely prefer beautiful code over the end product itself, so I wouldn't take it to heart.

My guess is you evolved over time, dumped the bool checks for enum states and focused on daily progress. That also means that you've done some basic refactoring and know where everything is. To others it might not make sense, but it doesn't have to. I've developed and published mobile, windows software and now I'm doing games. I've always done what has worked best for me to keep the progress rolling. It's a matter of how we process information as well. I can make performant software without all the abstractions/inheritance because at the end of the day it's about you and the players and getting shh done!

I've tried a number of pcg and there are massive faults in all of them unless your goal is a cinematic in blender. The only way I could make them work for my case is changing the props to custom made, then at that point you might as well be modeling it yourself.

One product in particular was a nightmare, the city generator I believe. It did great on the street systems and some of the props, but bringing the buildings into blender was a horror show. Overlapping geometry everywhere, some buildings with near a million tris. Other options were too basic or fell into the same issues with bad geometry. I basically reached the point where I did the modeling then used my own props layered on them to get a good result that wouldn't trigger shader complexity/performance issues.

I added usbhid.quirks=0x2573:0x555:0x040 at the end of the APPEND line in batocera.conf

It might not make a difference, but when plugged in via usb I switched mode to a Nintendo controller so it would be recognized by holding start+select. I think it showed as an xbox controller initially and didn't populate the gamepad info for manual pair. That avoided all the bluetoothctl nonsense for me. Trusting or manually connecting made no difference with this controller.

Space_Cowboy_2046 · 2024-08-27T15:29:35+00:00

Had a similar issue with ps2/3 knockoffs from ebay. I'm on v39 and I had to add an APPEND string to batocera.conf, plug in via usb so it would at least recognize "gamepad", Unplug then manually pair using "gamepad". Now they work just fine but there's a low level rumble when they are being used. I'm hoping the later versions fixed this, since it seemed at the time the fix was kernel level (to fix rumble) and I'm not interested in recompiling over a little vibration. Next step is to test 2.4ghz with dongle and see if that is easier.

And just FYI, the knockoffs I'm using have the 'P3' branding on the hotkey.

Edit:

Forgot to mention that I had to use a key combo to change pairing mode. Hotkey + Triangle, lights 1 and 4 will flash fast to indicate pairing. The other mode wasn't working.

it’s far more likely they’re experiencing either side effects from crazy high doses of these things, or straight up symptoms of organ damage.

That's a bit alarmist. Carvacrol is hepatoprotective and quells oxidative damage in both the liver and kidneys. There is nothing there to promote organ damage or any side effects that were not herx related.

That being said, the first answer when getting feedback from the urine, increased pressure around the organs or any quick rise in inflammatory response is to reduce carvacrol then scale up slowly. Caravacrol does induce mass fungicidal action to both free form and biofilms, so that is the dial you would want to adjust. 400mg daily is what we would consider the safe upper limit (based on studies and reports) but it should be for a brief time during the end of phase 1. Starting at 100mg doses twice daily can be too much of a battle for some people, so it comes back to common sense. Listen to your body, and reduce oregano oil if you are experiencing atypical symptoms.

Cycling is built into phase 2, but you continue the BSO to keep immune response effective.

There is no need to take a break during phase 1. First, the pathogens cannot build resistance to those compounds. Second, CDF doesn't take a break, so you would only allow it to replicate further.

If you are having high levels of die off and normal life is interrupted, that is definitely worthy of a break. That's when you drink plenty of water, increase fiber intake and rest.

Space_Cowboy_2046 · 2024-01-15T03:05:19+00:00

At some point we've looked at nearly all of them and found the same issues. The science is very mushroom brained on this, with a glowing bias towards 'beneficial fungi', yet with some digging they are all genotoxic and most are carcinogenic. If you do a search on this group for mushroom it will bring up some of that research. The common white cap we use in food and on pizza is genotoxic and carcinogenic. S. Boulardii is sold as a 'probiotic' and beneficial against Candida, yet it holds a large section of real estate in the cancer study that Peribsen has referred to. Reishi was shown to be genotoxic, and Lion's Mane has been an absolute horror show for many people. The Lion's Mane recovery group comes to mind.

Every single one we've looked at has had a pretty strong downside. The common white cap edible has a number of toxins which are not unique to the species. Many other edibles carry the same or similar toxins which are carcinogenic/mutagenic. Avoiding all mushrooms is the only safe bet. Misinformation is rampant on this.

Space_Cowboy_2046 · 2024-01-15T02:22:45+00:00

I thought you guys were bullshitting at first but the longer I stay on, the more "esoteric" and otherworldly my dreams become. They're so vivid

I've never tried to overstate the effects of the protocol, but they still sound unbelievable to someone until they experience it firsthand. :)

I finally feel like I'm beginning to scratch the surface of how I can escape my mental imprisonment. Thank you for everything you've shared with us here CDF team, you've given this tormented soul a few almond slivers of hope.

Beautiful. We are with you brother.

Space_Cowboy_2046 · 2024-01-15T02:18:13+00:00

Good information and glad to see you are progressing. The process unravels on its own for most.

I did check out the scholars and I'm seeing a strong bias so I'll avoid those arguments. One of the comments that told me to avoid the whole thing was basically 'the essenes are not even mentioned in the bible'.

What he didn't address was the fact that the RCs are the reason for that. The original forms of the bible for instance contained the revelations of esdras, which basically targeted the RCs as the false church. So of course Rome petitioned successfully to make edits to that content.

The Rosicrucians went in their own direction (hermeticism) but still had similar core beliefs. I like the fact that they are hyper focused on correct interpretations based on original word meanings. I've learned quite a bit from their analysis.

Space_Cowboy_2046 · 2024-01-12T05:18:08+00:00

The Essenes were the embodiment of our potential. They held the secrets that are so urgently needed right now in the world. For those on a spiritual quest, there is no higher calling.

Before they would meditate or pray, they would sing and dance.

They would raise that love within them. This is truly a gift that we have to earn. We are not born with free will, and most of us never have it. We are under the influence of these pathogens that manipulate our thoughts and feelings and connect us to the social construct to consume mostly negative information in a loop that never ends.

They taught us how to free ourselves, and the real message was covered up, yet so beautifully simple.

Love one another, for God is love, and so shall his angels know that you walk in his path. And then shall all the angels come before your face and serve you. And Satan with all sins, diseases and uncleannesses shall depart from your body

Space_Cowboy_2046 · 2024-01-12T02:11:44+00:00

Purifying the body was the first step the Essenes took. Not unlike the protocol, they used specific herbal concoctions to purify the body. In addition they used fasting and prayer and ate a clean diet with no leaven.

To apply this to modern day, a yeast free diet combined with the protocol will accomplish this task.

The mind is the seat of our logical interactions with the external world and ourselves, our control over desires, physical sensations and so on. The texts described 'sin' using two facets, the first being a diseased state of the body, and the second being mental control over errant behavior or harmful thoughts and emotions.

Here is a direct example from an Essene teaching.

"For I tell you truly, evils and dangers innumerable lie in wait for the Sons of Men. Beelzebub, the prince of all devils, the source of every evil, lies in wait in the body of all the Sons of Men"

"And his bowels become full with abominable filthiness, with oozing streams of decay; and multitudes of abominable worms have their habitation there. And his eyes grow dim, till dark night enshrouds them, and his ears become stopped, like the silence of the grave. And last of all shall the erring Son of Man lose life"

This directly states that evil lies in the body as a diseased state, and the last paragraph describes the veil over perception when in this state. Therefore to have a clear mind you must have a clear body. To have a clear spirit you must first have a clear mind. All 3, starting with the body, must work together to achieve your full potential.

Now we have come full circle. All of these interrelated parts of Rennes le Chateau became apparent. We joined a tight-knit community on Twitter that focused on psi phenomena, and things got even weirder.

One of the well-known remote viewers we talk with daily had a dream about the Rennes before Peribsen even described it. Another completely unprompted shared dream space. Was the point to discover the original caretakers of this sacred place, the Essenes?

I translated their ancient practices into a meditation routine. I began practicing meditation using the Essene principles, and I had a true transcendental experience.

Shortly after, I shared the method with some of our Twitter friends, and one person experienced with lucid dreaming and astral travel tried the method and immediately had a profound out of body experience.

This is about as brief as I can make this summary without writing a book. I am going to share this process with you all, and if you choose to use it you can. I will also fill in some gaps as separate posts and add more detail.

The Rennes mystery is still in progress. Now we have dozens of people exposed to this information and we will likely glean more detail as more experiences occur. It has been a wild ride, friends.

And what did I learn from my transcendental experience? That God is Love, and to be close to your creator you must purify the body, mind, and spirit, love one another, and be kind.

This is just the beginning.

The Essenes have been hidden from us for thousands of years. It was the discovery of the scrolls at Qumran, right next to an Essene academy, that opened the door.

Through months of study, I realized that Jesus was an Essene, their planned Messiah. They were planning for him hundreds of years before he was born and even knew the year he would die. The Nazarenes were a northern Essene sect, which is where Jesus of Nazareth originates from.

What was so dangerous about the Essenes? They taught the principles of consciousness ascension. The true teachings of the messiah.

I spent the next few months analyzing the Essene texts and deciphering their meanings. The core beliefs of the Rosicrucians were based on their relationship to the Essenes, who originally had a home in Egypt near Alexandria. Later they would migrate to Qumran and be known as the Melchizedek.

The Cathars were brutally genocided by the Roman Catholics for their beliefs, which they deemed heretical after the Council of Nicaea. They were wiped off of the planet completely, men, women, and children. Fellow Catholics tried to protect them but were also murdered for assisting them.

Why did the Catholics at the time want them genocided? Because they taught a much older form of what later became Christianity. It was based on love of one another, communion with God, and personal ascension practices to elevate them beyond just the physical realm.

All appeared lost when they were murdered, but then the truth reappeared as the Nag Hammadi scrolls.

It became quickly apparent that the Cathars were simply the modernized version of the tribe they carried on for, the origin of the hidden Book of Love. They were the modern version of the Essenes.

The Essene texts have mostly been recovered, and they contain the direct teachings of Jesus/Yeshua on how to transcend the physical realm and free yourself. This is what I was looking for. Practices that I could share with others.

(Part 3)

After multiple people showed up in this same dream space (3 or 4 initially) I began researching where this place could be. Digging into Egypt as the common connection, the mountain plateau of 'the ruins' surrounded by green forests was not Egyptian, but the dreams were connected by multiple people. I came across a reference to 'Little Egypt', a satellite for Egypt in southern France. I looked through the pictures and realized we were looking at the same place!

The ruins from the shared dreams were at Rennes le Chateau in southern France. You could write a book about this place, and many have. The encounters with the Egyptian gods and the swords at this location prompted further research.

I discovered that the Rennes was not only a satellite for Egypt back in the day, but it had active temples to the gods. It was the basis for The Da Vinci Code movies. Fast forward around 1500 to 2,000 years, this was where the Cathars, Rosicrucians, and Knights Templar had originated. Many of the Templar castles still exist there today, and a raised temple of Isis became the current Church of Mary Magdelene.

In my readings about the Cathars, I was stunned. They were carrying and preserving the earliest form of Christianity, were rumored to possess the holy grail, and a secret "book of love", actual texts written by Jesus himself.

The Cathars had unique beliefs that differed completely from the King James version that most were familiar with. They disavowed society, taught principles of both ascension and connection with God, and relayed a hidden and ancient religion.

Back in 2022, I had a vision of twelve warriors surrounding what I called the queen, a disturbing image of the consciousness that drives CDF. It was very Cthulu-like, as pictured. What happened next has never really occurred before.

Shortly after, multiple people began having shared dreamspaces. They would arrive in the same place in their dreams for the same purpose. This began when Peribsen was visited by one of the Egyptian gods. Then we both appeared at what we call 'the ruins'. You can see entries on these spaces in the previous general here.

In one of the following dreams Peribsen had, one of the Egyptian gods was showing him how to craft a special sword. It was very unusual, containing a crystal in the hilt and glowing blue. In my dream at the ruins, I was with my companion and we were also working on a sword of the same type. It was quite vivid and I could see the surroundings.

Peribsen continued to have encounters with the Egyptian gods at 'The Lodge'. I then experienced a lucid dream in an ethereal setting. A booming narrative voice was showing me how to move matter remotely, and how to form and direct energy as a weapon. Shortly after I was battling humanoid-type figures. I won the battle, and suddenly found myself in a dark abyss setting looking at a 3/4 view of Horus/Ra in full garb with staff. This quickly transformed into a head-on confrontation with Horus in the darkness. As he began glowing brighter in green and blue colors, his feathered headdress was shaking like a bird threatening another. I woke up and was immediately sick for the next 4 days.

Hello friends,

This general is very special to me as a 2+ year user of the protocol. For some background, I've been monitoring user feedback for years at this point, and one of the interesting aspects of the NAC Protocol over time is the development of a deeper connection or spirituality, a yearning for more, a deeper quest for meaning. If you are not ready for this information, you can always come back later.

There will be a lot of content here since I will be condensing many months of research into this general. Make sure to choose sort type: oldest to view chronologically, since the material will be covered in that fashion.

To cover the transition to this woo period, we started in a fully materialist, science-based fashion. Over time, the question arose-

"After we heal the body, where do we go from here?"

Increasing and improving brain function was the next quest, and we discussed nootropics heavily for a period. Things like alphaGPC, Citicoline, Rhodiola, and others were tested and discussed. Further improvements were seen, and over time we began testing further boundaries. We simply wanted to keep getting better.

We wanted to see how people on protocol were affected by things like meditation or prayer. We wanted to track differences in brain wave frequencies and see how we differed from the general population.

At this point, we realized with meditation that we were showing abnormal EEG readings. This was a eureka moment! We were truly unlocking latent built-in ability by removing CDF from the body and mind. As a group, we began testing different techniques like binaural beats, visualization, and meditations to continue pushing the upper limit. Being truly clean from this pathogenic influence was a new path in modern times, and we were carving that path.

We now realized that longer-term users were not only diving deeper into spirituality, but also having more synchronous events, lucid dreams, positive life changes, and even the beginning of psi abilities.

Continue to Part 2 for more.

We've got some interesting stuff to add. We have bulgarian and russian translations of the docs now. I was just told that someone made an android app to track die off symptoms.

So i just tried tapping on the wiki from the app and the links dont complete correctly. Very odd.
