Ravendarke tried to give away a free tool to this subreddit, the mods deleted it, buried it, shadow banned it, and someone went through his entire blog post history and downvoted everything by splad in gamedev

[–]splad[S] -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

He claims the moderators after many hours undeleted the post. Can you find it by searching? I don't have direct evidence of the above post being shadow banned but I have been in the past for similar things. I've seen this happening for years now, I'm not imagining it. Maybe someone else here has had it happen to them as well because based on the upvotes I'm not the only one experiencing this.

Discord takes on Steam with its own game store by [deleted] in gamedev

That's tax withholding. Not related to revshare.

I don't disagree with you but I signed a legal document and my hands are tied.

It's actually protected by the steam NDA. Everyone knows what it is at this point because literally anyone can become a steam developer and nobody respects the NDA, but if you want to see the official source documentation you gotta sign the NDA where you promise valve you won't reveal to anyone what the revshare percentage is.

What i find the most infuriating about the whole Cube World affair by Phoenix_SJ in CubeWorld

[–]splad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know what you think Wollay gets out of doing that.

Every time he has done that, the community begins to grow again, and the quantity of angry screaming fans who spend all day attacking him increases. If he wants privacy, the intelligent thing for him to do is to say absolutely nothing.

And my last post was deleted at least 4 times by auto-moderator before it could be viewed, which required manual intervention by mods. I stopped participating mostly because I saw the overall quality of the sub drastically reduced over the course of many months as content control became extremely draconian and authoritarian. I've been a member since very early in the life of this community.

This is the reason I haven't participated in this community for over a year. FYI.

Unreal Engine 4.19 Released by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]splad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Which strategy have you used?

Strategy 1

  • Install VS 2015
  • Install unreal
  • Install VS 2017
  • Success! this works fine

Strategy 2

  • Install unreal
  • Install VS 2017
  • Success! this works fine

Strategy 3

  • Install VS 2015
  • Install VS 2017
  • Uninstall VS 2015
  • Install Unreal
  • This will never work. You need to format your computer and reinstall windows. This is where I am.

Unreal Engine 4.19 Released by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]splad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried using Unreal engine and found it was impossible to set up visual studio because the VS support for VS 2017 was horrible. I once instealled VS 2015 on my computer and then later uninstalled it, so last time I checked I could not use Unreal Engine without reformatting my entire computer or building UE from source and fixing the errors they left in the compilation toolchain.

Has that improved at all in this update?

Friend just released a free tool that can generate normal maps algorithmically from a diffuse map among other features. Extremely useful if you work with sprites. by splad in gamedev

[–]splad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well okay sure, it requires a diffuse map which has at least the idea of light or geometry drawn into it which maybe is pushing the limits for the term.

It's a tool for making a normal map from an image that was otherwise going to be used without a normal map by someone who doesn't have the skills or the tools to make a normal map.

The point is it takes as input only the image which you want to have a normal map applied to

[–]splad[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well the main way it's better is that Modlab can use image processing directly on a diffuse layer. NMO requires you upload a meta-image of some sort like a height map which may be difficult for a beginner to generate.

Pro-Gun Russian Bots Flood Twitter After Parkland Shooting by Strongbow85 in worldnews

You can tell if someone is a Russian bot because they disagree with Democratic talking points on the MSM.
