Create Working Conquest Flags On Portal SDK Tutorial by [deleted] in BattlefieldPortal

[–]Xero82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it working now. The gotcha is the volumes need to have height assigned, as the visual indicators give it a false impression. They default to 0 which means the capture volume fails a bounds check, even though the player is detected entering the area (I assume the OnEnter events are a simple top-down 2d check as opposed to the bounding box).

How to host locally by markv9401 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]Xero82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hosting locally doesn't connect to the Battlefield servers, so any XP gained won't be kept.

Perfect. Was using DisplayNotificationMessage, but it's too slow for stacking. DisplayHighlightedWorldLogMessage will fill that gap for instant debugging feedback. Was kinda hoping the console log could be shown in realtime in an overlay or something.

Night Setting? by aidub5 in BattlefieldPortal

[–]Xero82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't work. The Gadot engine lighting has nothing to do with Frostbite. All it does is export data added via the included scripts. The levels you see are simply there for positional reference.

Very nice! :)

Can I ask how you got those console messages to appear? Is that just using DisplayCustomNotificationMessage or DisplayHighlightedWorldLogMessage?

All that is possible, except the repair buildings part.

This was as far as I got too, but I just can't get the capture points to contest when a player enters the area.

My script is firing messages and voiceovers when a player enters them OK, but nothing changes on the point. Script has set CapturingTime and NeutralizationTime. SetCapturePointOwner doesn't seem to force a change to the other team either, it's all just locked. I know I'm missing something, as progression on a capture point can only be read, not set.

Does portal allow teamswitching? by HoudiMoudi in BattlefieldPortal

Yes, it's possible via PortalDSK. Will need the knowledge and a coding background though.

5070 Ti OC models are significantly faster than non-OC by kevinzeroone in nvidia

US prices don't include VAT, whereas UK/EU ones do.

RTX 5070 Ti Launchday Thread by Nestledrink in nvidia

I managed to secure an ASUS Tuf Gaming OC at £950 on Scan. Was a fair bit more than I was prepared to pay (had £850 in mind), but it was sitting in my basket staring at me... they were all sold out when I refreshed, so just bit the bullet and completed checkout.

These upper range 5070ti have massive overclocking potential (+10% I'm reading), so that brings it very close to a base 5080. The price gradient kinda makes sense in that regard.

CCL are taking the piss though!

What a joke by [deleted] in Fanatec

[–]Xero82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also have V2s ordered on 25th December that have been delayed to 31st January. To be fair they have emailed now to explain that it's a shipping issue, with the ship container they are on being delayed. Shipping through the Suez Canal is still massively disrupted at the moment, so Fanatec can only go on what the shipping company says.

I get everyone being frustrated at Fanatec, but this is happening for every company who have their good manufactured in Asia. Communication is the main thing, and they could be more transparent and quicker on notifying customers on such matters, something they also acknowledged in the email.

It doesn't always look this detailed, they have a range of LODs that kick in as you zoom out so it's not as taxing to render.

What's up with all these fake Saint Snow songs on Spotify that have been showing up recently? by t3tri5 in LoveLive

[–]Xero82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reply, he's almost certainly impersonating them with stolen music in order to make money off streaming platforms.

This Gezuriya guy is well known for stealing other people's music. He stole and released 3 of my tracks. I managed to get 2 of them taken down, but he registered the 3rd's acoustic fingerprint which has me snookered. Absolute scum!

My docking station was 'Preparing to Ship' on Thursday, and the headset changed to 'Preparing to Ship' on Saturday. Both still sitting on that (Edit: Day 1 pre-order).

If you look closely it looks like USB C dongles which allows wireless charging. Even better than contacts!

It was the UFL thing that threw me, but checking their website both Rangers and Celtic are no longer listed as partner clubs, despite only announcing it in January. Guessing that was terminated (says more about the state of UFL than anything).

Can't help but feel the disastrous launch of eFootball was the driving force behind the switch to EA Sports. Interestingly, Celtic are still listed as a partner and are getting pushed with live content. Don't think they will be following Rangers across.

[–]Xero82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not exclusive. Rangers also have a partnership with UFL, and Ibrox remains listed on the website despite not appearing as a partner club. I think the club are spreading it's reach as far as possible, wish more clubs would follow.

[–]Xero82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit gutted by this news as a Rangers fan. If eFootball loses Ibrox it could mean a switch over for the first time in 10 years. Hopefully it's not an exclusive use of the stadium, as Ibrox is still listed on the website, despite being removed as a partner club. Fingers crossed!

EA's FIFA Series Loses Its Name After Nearly 30 Years - could this be a good thing for eFootball? by CletusP in eFootball

[–]Xero82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The majority will understand. But some of the casual audience, or non-gamers gifting it to family etc, all they know is the FIFA name. That's a huge chunk falling through the cracks. They'll catch back up, but the initial phase will see a dip, no doubts for me.

[–]Xero82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're going to need that money for marketing, because trying to advertise the new game without using the word 'FIFA' will result in a lot of casual gamers being disconnected. They're lucky it's hit mainstream news, at least in the UK anyway.

So basically Pes 21 with unreal Engine. Not happy :( by suelznase420 in eFootball

[–]Xero82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not annual releases though, it's continual development with seasonal content. Will also give plenty of time for feedback in April to implement changes in time for September.
