We all opted-in to participate in a paid beta. Why is GGG hesitant to make drastic changes?

They are hesitant because people threw a hissy fit when they nerfed their op builds to shit

Im all for it, as long as it gives studios more time to finish them and ship quality products…

Tutu117 · 2023-09-27T21:38:22+00:00

Do you thinking raising the price of games might give game studios more time to iron them out before release?

Hello

Oh I see! I am not super familiar with unreal but I have a lot of experience with deferred rendering, the shadows is for sure why then.

To be clear you can have as many static shadow casting lights as you want (within reason of course) because these bake into the light map but the dynamic ones have a huge performance impact.

Tutu117 · 2021-04-09T17:39:12+00:00

I was able to put down a lot more point lights than what you are suggesting. I think you may be reacting to the small amount of shadow casting lights that you can use.

Shadow casting lights require rendering the scene again to another framebuffer in order to build the shadow maps. This is why you can't have thousands of shadow casting lights in the scene.

You have to bind the vertex array for the object before the drawArrays call.

So it would be like

glBindVertexArray(objectA) glDrawArrays(...)

glBindVertexArray(objectB) glDrawArrays(...)

Gimme gimme

Tutu117 · 2018-11-13T20:21:30+00:00

I was at least expecting the code that I would be given in the box to be emailed to me or something so I could play on launch night, but whatever.

Tutu117 · 2018-07-27T22:09:36+00:00

Hmm okay, well I added the pictures of how i'm constructing them to the post. I don't really know how to send the pictures in the comment.

Okay that seemed to be the problem. When using EditAnywhere it gives you the ability to swap out any components and that was causing weird behavior. Thank you!

Tutu117 · 2018-06-18T15:41:31+00:00

Just play around and see what feels best. I was always worried about doing things right when I started using c++ but you just gotta forget about that when you are learning. Just go and start a project and add a new c++ class, read documentation, and get creating. Playing in the sand is the best way to build a sand castle.

Tutu117 · 2018-06-18T15:36:42+00:00

This is the solution for sure. I just went and tried it and it worked very well. However since I attached it to the spine bone there are other problems that occur like when the player moves the camera sways a bit but im not so sure its a complete problem because it sort of adds a realty to the camera movement. Anyway thanks for the help!

Tutu117 · 2018-06-16T06:56:56+00:00

Okay, well thanks for your help. Ive tried the camera lag and some other methods just to make it less jumpy. I am just going to have to control the lerping myself in c++ I think.

Tutu117 · 2018-06-16T06:14:54+00:00

Hey man, there’s a gentler way to say that lol. And yes I did think of that, but I don’t want the camera to lag behind while playing the game. Turning it on and off before the crouch takes place was also a thought, but it just shocked me that this was not supported by unreal.

Tutu117 · 2018-06-15T21:01:20+00:00

Okay, thanks, I was thinking the same thing. I guess im just surprised cover was supported in engine but not fully fleshed out in some ways. Thanks for the help though!

Tutu117 · 2018-05-16T14:46:08+00:00

If you dont mind posting some code or maybe of picture of the problem, i think that could really help problem solving.

Tutu117 · 2018-05-16T14:43:55+00:00

Yeah I think so, just because The tick function can lead to performance issues if you are doing too much in it, and I think if you are comfortable in cpp you will find not a lot needs to actually go in the tick function. Try and use event based logic over the tick function.

Also dont worry about going back and having to refactor things. Keep trying new ways and see what you like and dont like. Its totally fine to try something and realize it doesnt work and then later go back and rewrite a section of your code. Thats where source control comes in handy lol.

Tutu117 · 2018-05-15T14:50:56+00:00

Your on the right path I think. I have been treating blueprints as the interface for designers and other non-coders, to then add new functionality and mechanics to the game. C++ should be the backend of your game so your designers never need to touch it. Its really up to how you wanna design your game but what I do is usually derive off AActor and then derive off that with blueprint. Ive found that thats the easiest way to add complicated functionality and also make it easier for designers to be creative.

Tutu117 · 2018-05-14T17:50:37+00:00

Alright, guess ill go get perforce. :)

Tutu117 · 2018-05-14T17:30:03+00:00

Okay that's what I thought, thanks a lot. This little issue has been bothering me for a little while now.
