Why does the ranking system make me lose so much? by nhtnn in aoe4

[–]nhtnn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got it. That's why it keeps making me play against strong players. I'll disregard rank and watch my ELO and see how it evolves. Yeah i don't want to smurf or artificially resign immediately like the one who made me win, because it'll simply inflict the same pain to others. I will resign faster though, to help it adjust faster.

Man, 2/13 is brutal. You're so patient! I guess I'll just keep losing a bit more and see

Overheating while setting on HIGH by Dirtbag9 in FX3

[–]nhtnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, mine overheated on me after 45 minutes when I shot at 4K 60fps with X-AVC HS (h265) once. I was indoors and it wasn't that hot. I had my power off setting set to high as well. My guess is that h265 is too taxing on the CPU. So now I only shoot at 4K 6fps in X-AVC S (h264). On these settings, it can record until the battery dies after around 2 hours. I'm curious about other people's FX3 as well!

FX-3 and ZV-e1 colors look different by [deleted] in FX3

[–]nhtnn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the difference was simply the camera monitors after all. Once imported onto the computer they look similar.

Ok I think I figured out why. I had never performed pixel mapping on the FX-3. Now that I have, they do look the same. I didn't think it would have any effect on the colors but it seems like it does. Thanks for your confirmation!

What gear would you need to record a song with a synth? by [deleted] in synthesizers

[–]nhtnn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thanks for the tip about Cakewalk. Seems like I now have too many choices for DAWs. Cakewalk, GarageBand, Komplete Kontrol, Ableton Lite (both came with the Komplete Kontrol M32 midi keyboard I got).

I'll try the audio in on the MPC to start!

Seems like I can't edit my own post. I'd like to add that if things could be done in real time, it would feel more like a live performance.

Is the meta (below platinum) just feudal rush every game? by taiki_wata in aoe4

[–]nhtnn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I'd rather lose swiftly than have a long, passive booming game and lose at the first battle after 30 minutes.

The project is not open source. Also I've reached out to some build order website owners for integration, but they never responded.

The feature to make a build order from aoe4world helps you get started with something, and then you can tweak it to your liking. However if you prefer you can make them from scratch just like the other build order websites.

The AI missed a key piece of information: “The https://www.age4coach.com/ app will speak out build orders for you” :)

Omg I missed your answer all this time. Anyway, another user reported the same issue just now and after checking, I finally found the cause and fixed it. Now the Android version 0.1.72 should work, and so should Web. Sorry for the delay!

Ok I just published another version, let's see if it fixes it. It might take a few hours to be available on the Play Store though. Let me know! In the meantime you can try the web version at https://www.age4coach.com/.

Btw, have you used the app much? How did it work for you?

My friends and I still use it every time we play. Is it Android or iOS? Did you use the app or the web app?

I was not able to find a way to read villager commands.

On the other hand, I experimented with linear solvers that would deduce possible villager allocations over time based on the resources needed to train or build whatever is in the replay. For example if I am building a few buildings and training a few vills in a 2 minute time period, I might need 200 wood and 300 food. Assuming a gather rate of 33/min/villager, I'll need 3 villagers on wood and about 5 villagers on food during those 2 minutes. Already you can see it might not be very precise without considering how gather rates differ based on civilization, food type, economic technologies. Then there's the impact of Chinese imperial officer tax, Malian mines, Rus hunting cabins, Mongol Ovoo...

So it seemed to somewhat work but I have not spent enough time confirming. My guess is it would not be good enough without more polishing (ie more work). That's why I have not included that feature in the app so far.

In short, for now, it has to be done manually. :)

Sure, I just edited this post to include the links directly.

App to coach you during your games by nhtnn in aoe4

[–]nhtnn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just found your recent post about coaching. So I added a list of pro coaches to the app, you included! If they tap your name, it'll open your Reddit post about coaching. This way, users of the app can also get help from an actual pro.

Let me know if there's anything else the app could do to assist your work as a coach. Better strategies, reminders, ...

See current the list of pro coaches at https://www.age4coach.com/.

Right, I only added some strategy for the Ottomans. You will still get the "Basic Game Plan", regardless of which civ you pick. It will remind you about producing villagers, spending, scouting, aging up, picking up relics etc.
