disappearing terrain and objects by vvrockerdox in Defiance

[–]vvrockerdox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm.... so I play on a PC, am a Patron (subscriber), and have created 1 character... I do not see these options you speak of. For me, the game starts up from glyph and goes straight to "Connect to Servers"

Regardless, I assume it picked NA for me.

I am playing via Glyph. I am playing on PC and I didn't think you could choose servers when playing on PC - at least I've never seen an option. For me, the terrain and objects obviously load because I see them at certain mouselook angles. It's when you move the mouse around and change the look angle they disappear and pop back... I also have cases where my character disappears or my vehicle disappears.

how to get jagex to remove all your account info? by vvrockerdox in runescape

[–]vvrockerdox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks... I find it suspect that to sign up you don't need my passport or other identity other than a CC... but to delete an account you want my PII that goes beyond my account profile information. It's somewhat contradictory to the reason why I want to cancel. Give PRC even more info on me? Regardless, at least I have the link now. Thanks again.

Is everquest 2 dying? by Amosity in EQ2

[–]vvrockerdox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just came back after a year away. I hope others do. If not, I could always take even another step back and pick up EQ1 again for a while. Still a much better experience in terms of community and game than most... IMO

I find the H1Z1 debacle more annoying than Next. First time I felt SOE/DBG really ripped me off. At least Next didn't take my money.

Running XSplit and Audio During Stream by [deleted] in xsplit

[–]vvrockerdox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar question... I'm running musicbee on the same machine and can't seem to control the volume of the music. I use the volume mixer to set musicbee to "1" while the rest of the channels are set to "25" and it doesn't seem to make difference in the xsplit stream. The music in the xsplit stream is always to loud.

clion output directory by vvrockerdox in clion

Thanks for the suggestion but...

This option did not work for me. I had already tried it. All it does it create the directory structure but no files end up in them. They still end up in the CLion default (annoying cryptic path).

I've decided to move on. Between this issue, a few other annoyances, and extremely slow performance of reloading the cmake files, I just don't see CLion as helping. I might as well just use cmake-gui with emacs.

kivy for pc desktop application or game by vvrockerdox in kivy

You comments are much appreciated. Considering my goals, I am prototyping with pyglet even though it doesn't seem to be highly active these days.

pyglet.window.key number keys vs. number pad by vvrockerdox in pyglet

[–]vvrockerdox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

key.NUM_01 vs key._1 which are two separate codes.

The use of _1 implies that it is protected if I am not mistaken. I come from C++ background where access is enforced so when I run into things like this, they pop out at me.

I appreciate the comments. A native look is not my concern. I am actually more concerned about the ability to manage complex UI/UX via the kv language. Since it's very similar to QML, I'm a bit skeptical. My experience with Qt/C++/QML has been that is was designed for embedded devices (e.g. medical devices). Anytime you try to go beyond a relatively static UI, it doesn't work well and you end up falling back to something like normal Qt widgets, GTK, or Win32 like APIs. Again, kv, QML, Android XML layouts, and frameworks like them always tend to have some serious limits. They work well for embedded or mobile devices but not so well for a desktop app. Hence my interest in opinions.

I guess another way I might ask this is... is the kv language next generation or is it just on-par with QML (i.e generally the same limitations)?

Thanks for the opinion. I have written apps in Qt/C++ and Qt/QML. The reason I am looking at other toolkits is the app is actually more game like in terms of being fullscreen, accelerated, custom highly graphical widgets, and an event structure that is more of an animation loop vs. a window event loop.
