isn't the tortoise and the hare a bad example because in the original tale after the tortoise won the race the hare left town and a fire killed everyone because they relied on the slow tortoise to put out the fire?
so in parallel they tortoise would be a poor choice because if they had to rely on him to hack into the mainframe to steal the garbage file with the davinci virus to expose the plot to sink a computer controlled ship for ransom from a corporate villain, the movie hackers would have been half as long because they caught the tortoise before he could hide the floppy disk.

No wanting to be a trap is popular on imageboards because no girls post on imageboards so it's the closest thing to feeling companionship from the opposite sex for people here.
It's also a feeling where you can attention whore and some people will respond positively to it. Which is a powerful motivator for people who have nothing going on in their lives.

What looks better for a "quicksand" tile? This allows certain objects to fall through, but nothing else can enter them. Objects can only enter from the top and move downward.

Also, for simple scrolling tiles, I found a neat little hacky way to greatly reduce the amount of texture space it takes up. So instead of 16 32x32 tiles per animation, I can get away with one 32x64 region if it's a looped/scrolled animation and just step by 1 pixel, instead of 32 units

Reposting because I didn't find a solution.
I have an object that is being controlled by a speed and a 3d vector direction. The player inputs set a pitch and yaw.
The direction vector is controlled
object up vector * pitch
object right vector * yaw
This works perfectly fine for horizontal movement but when it comes to vertical movement the object is unable to do loop-de-loops or anything like that. The image shows the problem.
How do I solve this? Is the only solution to not control it by a direction vector and multiplied axis inputs?
Is there some other simple input method I could use that would work better?

So if I want to implement a pathfinding algorithm for getting between two points on a hex grid, would I want to use something other than Djikstra's?

Djikstra's algorithm is significantly slower than something like A*. You could run a benchmark of the two, A* and Djikstra's, and see if the performance hit you get with Djikstra's is worth the fact that it's actually the shortest path.

Depends on if you want the upper limit to be possible in the first place. You can do a simple check to see if the manhattan distance is smaller than your maximum search range before you actually do the search. Then your worst case scenario becomes a maze from one corner of a box of that maximum range to the other corner.
>would I want to use something other than Djikstra's?
Probably, but not always. In anything realtime such as an RTS, the answer will be yes no matter what. But in a TBS game, djkstra is good becausse when you select a unit, you do dijkstra's and you immediately get information about enemies and tiles for drawing an overlay with information (unpassable tiles, enemies, etc.)

Every time the player moves the hex they're hovering over when trying to move a unit, so not literally every single frame, but considering how many tiles one can cross in half a second with a flick of the mouse, I could end up with situations where it gets calculated several times per second.
I suppose I could cheat by having it not actually figure out the path until the player doesn't change what hex they're hovering over until a half a second has passed. That might make for an annoying feature though.

There is no reason to recalculate it every time you move, only every time a new unit is selected. While doing Dijkstra's you calculate the distance to the current position for every tile nearby, there is no reason to throw that information away and re-calculate the exact same thing every time you move your mouse.

Monogame has a lot of advantages, and install base for XP is getting very small. XNA has a lot of bugs too which are fixed with Monogame.

Oh, that's good to know. I haven't really encountered any. I'm mostly staying with the 2D stuff and not using the content pipeline, just loading from a directory on game start up. My game isn't remotely complex enough to have to do more than that. What sort of bugs are there?
(seriously, my exe and assets take up a whopping 156 kb so far)
Also, how do you manage different monster behaviors or scripting? Like say you have bats that do one thing, or skeletons that do another, are they distinct object types, or do you just use delegates?
c18197 No.13943649
Yeah, according to the Steam hardware survey, less than 0.25% of a percent of users actually use WinXP. Of course, that's only people that use Steam, but it's probably safe to assume people use Steam and other non-Steam games too.

>What sort of bugs are there?
I had a lot of issues with vertical syncing and locked timesteps, both causes issues and skipping. Sound issues in general, and worst of all having to have Windows Media Player installed/enabled for sound to work without crashing.
>how do you manage different monster behaviors or scripting?
I do things a bit weird. Each enemy/player is a "Character". A "Character" has a "Controller", whether that's AI or just User Input. All the specificities of how the AI interacts with the world, its health, abilities, etc are handled in an XML that looks like pic related. (Don't mind weird/bad naming conventions)
c18197 No.13943714
>>13943680
And all of those XML variables obviously already exist on a Controller object, then? Like you're not doing anything dynamic and crazy. So basically it's:
>Load XML file
>Shove all the data into a hundred different Controller objects
>Every entity in the game points to a controller that says how it behaves
>Controllers are just a blob of data with values that the actually game logic uses to decide things
Seems pretty straight foward to me. Why XML and not say, JSON? I haven't used either extensively, but the latter seemed more compact (though fussier).
WMP is definitely a thing, so I probably will move to either FNA or Monogame before my final release, thank you.

They're an hour long for a reason, there's a lot to learn. Take it slowly.
Basically, you have the channel rack, where you have all your instruments. With the right click menu, you can add plugins, or "instruments". No idea if you have the same shit I have, but Sakura and Sytrus are ones with a lot of presets that might be good for experimenting.
In [View}, you have the option to see a playlist. That's where you can drop all your patterns (you can select different ones or make new ones under the time panel thing). It lets you break the song down into as many or few pieces as you want. Most people write individual instruments as patterns and combine them in the playlist. I prefer to break it down into song sections.
It helps to listen to what kind of song you want to make and try to somewhat imitate that. That's how I started, at least. Just screw around, write chords, add melodies, see what sounds nice.
And I'm not sure if you actually know how to write music or not, but if you don't, then learn what chords and chord progressions are, learn the Circle of Fifths and basically, read a book, nigger.

Use shape keys to shrink your model under the clothes?
346212 No.13946206
How do I make pressed keys override each other in Godot? Right now my character moves in 4 directions but I want the movement to be less clunky. When the player is going up or down they can go left or right while up/down is still pressed so that the movement is better but the player can't switch to up or down when going left or right.
I tried changing the code but it always just ends up overriding each other so in the end one of them won't be able to switch directions seamlessly. I think at this point the only way to fix it is to change how the Input itself works, but I don't know how to do this.

Just finished the very basis of my map editor. from now on it's configuration of the automatic mesh generator and stuff like automatic grass/tree placement and lastly being able to manually paint texture and objects.
The question is, do I keep it all into the map window, or do I keep trying to hold the Inspector hostage and put all controls there?
To me, it feels that things like editing the base texture, or rotating multiple vertices should be done in the Inspector, but not only this is pretty hacky (I have to keep forcing the selected object to be my map), there would be little to be done in the map window

I imagine it having a central hub, and you visit nearby areas to fix them, sort of like Digimon World 1. Your party could only carry so much food, which limits the amount of attacks you can do, so eventually you will have to return to town to rest. But you could explore areas in any order, and if you have the right party, you could get to high level areas early if you know what you're doing.

You mean the Dynamic Lights? It's still fucking broken and the Shadow maps looks like crap. Still has the same bleeding issue as it got introduced the first time, which is around 2007 so over a decade and still not fixed. The only supported light types are spot light one and that's it, no cone light support at all or hell let alone a textured one.
https://zdoom.org/w/index.php?title=GLDEFS&oldid=11039
>shiny normal mapped walls
no such thing, there is only diffuse texture support and nothing else. For maps? Diffuse only, models? Diffuse too. And you don't even need Vulkan for that.

There is no mention of any other supported texture types.
And the latest support model format is .md3 which is over 18 years old.
>Why do people really want to port Doom to modern graphics API's?

Also porting it to Vulkan is a total waste, first of all I don't really think that it actually has graphical effects not available in OpenGL, its entire thing is optimization for modern GPUs- which isn't even needed for a Doom level, and in fact is fundamentally a fools errand because Doom is using BSP trees which modern cards are not optimized for because it involves considering and rejecting things in terms of each individual wall, instead of batching together shit to be rendered like what modern GPU's are optimized for. Not that it matters with the poly counts of Doom.
Those screenshots look only slightly better than the shitty lighting engine in my last game, which only supported static spot lights and only needed OpenGL 1 with non-power-of-two texture support to work.

I really think the second makes for a more frightening atmosphere. So many scary games rely on darkness for their horror, but scary things should be scary regardless of the amount of light.

Exactly. No bump maps, no normal maps, nothing nada 0. Its only the diffuse texture type and that's fucking it. That is what's pissing me off so much. Fucking OpenGL 3.0 as a minimum in order to use his shitty port and he doesn't even bother adding bump mapping support, if he did then he would at least have a excuses for that. Now he is talking about adding a Vulkan render because he knows his shit. He didn't even made jokes about adding PBR support, let that sink in.
>Also porting it to Vulkan is a total waste, first of all I don't really think that it actually has graphical effects not available in OpenGL
And that's the thing, he cares only about the newest shit without using it at all. Imagine this you are buying a Nvidia SLI GPU and the only games you play doesn't even support SLI at all and are from the 90's only. But hey at least you got a SLI GPU so that's something I suppose so.

14 months to make that engine however the lightmaps were actually completed in about a week of work after tetradev made me add them in. Of course its not done in any kind of "good" way since it bloated the level files and make the engine take up more texture memory (like twice as much), but it did work and people ran it on fast enough graphics cards that nobody noticed. Looking back on it I should have used texture compression, or some sort of more compacted internal format, and used GL_ARB_multitexture instead of literally drawing two polygons on top of each other. This is actually why disabling lightmaps increases the framerate if you don't have a fast enough card, because it literally cuts the polycount of the level in half as well as the texture memory.

028b8f No.13961725
>>13961616
Im having a hard time myself finding documentation for some blender shit. The hip rig is just spineBottom with a Damped Track constraint aiming at some bone below and spineMid with another Damped Track constraint pointing at some bone above. Then since I don't want this to always be on, I add a driver to the influence of both damped track constraints to be 0-1 based on the Z of an "enableHip" named bone's position. So when I animate and want to switch between the hip rig and normal rotate bones, I animate and key the enableHip Z position.
So for example if the enableHip Z position is set to 0 world space, the influence of this hip rig is 0. If I move the bone 0.5 up, the influence is then 0.5. Then I just lock the bone position from 0-1 so the bone turns into a useful slider of some sort. It's hacky and dumb but that's Blender for you. This is really useful for arms and legs so you can do easy "swing arms" (forward kinematics) and then you want to smoothly keep the hands on a point in space while the rest of the body is moving (inverse kinematics).

slowly continuing my foray onto windows network programming- the next step is to implement "say" which will make the server echo text back to all of it's clients.
I'm not really sure how exactly it all works, since I just started, but luckily the windows sockets API literally just copies a ton of UNIX functions to do what it does, and it also seems to be somewhat separated off from the rest of winAPI, with it's own special routines and a departure from normal winAPI style.
After "say" I can implement the basic movement commands: "+forward","-forward","+back","-back".

I'm finishing up my walking on walls script but I've come to a standstill. Everything works perfectly, except that I can't have my character walk on perfectly vertical surfaces like pic related.
The more my Stick Direction Vector and my normal become perpendicular, the shorter my actual Movement Vector becomes.
Any tips on how I'd fix this?
aa9156 No.13962797
>>13962728
That behavior makes perfect sense, it's exactly how the maths work. Suppose you want to project the blue vector onto the black plane. Your result will be the yellow vector, which goes from the point on the plane closest to the blue vector's origin to the point on the plane closest to the blue vector's end (recall that distance to a plane is always along the normal vector). Note how it's almost always shorter than the blue vector, and the closer the blue vector's direction is to the normal, the shorter the projection will be. If the blue vector is the normal, the projection is the zero vector. You'll need to change your design, because everything you're doing right now is working exactly as designed. I'm going to hit the books a bit to see if I can cook up a solution.

>>13962820
I'm pretty sure that's a working solution, but I'm not comfortable with quaternions so I don't know how to build it. You'd need a rotation that maps your stick input vectors (x, 0, 0) and (0, y, 0) onto vectors that are perpendicular to the plane's normal. Then you have to experiment with rotating it around that plane normal to make controller input feel right, requiring the (0, y, 0) input to map onto something that has a positive y component and the x component as always 0 is probably a good condition. Otherwise you could be moving into really random directions.

Last (0, y, 0) should be (0, 1, 0). Negative y should of course be mapped onto a negative outcome.

Weird thing that's happening.

The two Vectors stay exactly the same, however in one situation this returns
(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
And in another it returns
(0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0)

c05340 No.13963148
>>13963087
Both are valid results.
If vectors are facing exactly opposite directions, then there are an infinite amount of "smallest rotation" quaternions possible. (The same applies if the vectors are facing in exactly the same direction.)
Think about it: If you have a vector point at x=1, and want to rotate it to x=-1, then rotating it half a circle around either the Y axis, Z axis, or any other axis that's on the YZ plane would work.
If you want the behavior to be predictable, then you need to detect this edge-case and determine the rotation direction manually.

How do I make a prefab appear in Unity? Not only are there no tutorials about prefabs that are not yet in the scene, but they have several mutually conflicting solutions from which none seem to work:
This doesn't work, as "The name 'assetDatabase' does not exist in the current context":
Object prefab = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath("Assets/Apple.prefab", typeof(GameObject));
This also doesn't work, as "The name 'Apple' does not exist in the current context":
GameObject newApple=(GameObject) Instantiate(Apple,transform.position,transform.rotation);
940eab No.13963365
>>13963303
the dirtiest solution, which is the easiest, but ugliest, is to create an "PrefabGenerator" class, name does not matter.
Create a empty GameObject and add "PrefabGenerator" to it.
Create as many "public GameObject myPrefab" variables as different prefabs you have in the "PrefabGenerator" class.
Drag the prefabs to the variables to the GameObject in the scene with the "PrefabGenerator" script.
When you need to instantiate a prefab:
Object prefab = Instantiate(prefabGeneratorInstance.myPrefab);
That assumes that the class instantiating the prefabs have a reference to the GameObject in the scene with the "PrefabGenerator", which I called "prefabGeneratorInstance"
I am sure there is a 'correct' way to do so, but I'd have to research it

You intantiate it as a prefab.
You're currently geting "does not exist in the current context" because you haven't defined the prefab in your script.
You can reference it in two ways. One, make a public variable
public GameObject Apple
Then, from your editor you drag the prefab onto the variable in the inspector.
OR
You can load your prefab at runtime like it explains here https://answers.unity.com/questions/674127/how-to-find-a-prefab-via-script.html

I guess you could do a mix of the two and have an object, then using Resource.Load to load every single prefab in a folder at runtime and adding them to the object, while assigning them their filename as a "name" in the meantime.
This would basically create an object with all your prefabs where you could call them like this
loadedAssets.name["originalFilename"]

I'm fairly sure you should always load your assets in Start(). You only need to load apples once even when you have to spawn multiple apples, you're always going to refer to the same prefab.
So move that shit into Start() and then add a Debug.Log after it to see what it gives you
What could be happening in that case is that the Instantiate function is running before the prefab is actually loaded. However that's hard to say.

Does this look okay? I feel like it's missing something.
Also, your character is a witch, and this feels pretty industrial, but I suppose that's okay since the premise is that you're going into Grabbler Goblin's bank vaults

It's supposed to be a spellbook, but couldn't quite get the feeling right. I like the idea of the disk-colored one, but it's more obvious what the brown one is

Thanks, one day I have to go back into that codebase and fix it, because I know that I could speed up the engine by a ridiculous factor with some basic shit. I actually thought it would be much harder than it actually was.

You have separate vertices for lights, rather than just using the level geometry? Is that normal?
That actually makes a lot of sense

Are the tiles going be sharply delineated like that? If you're not going for a seamlessly repeating pattern, maybe throw in some edges and bolts or something.
For the general look, maybe try different shades for the different directions of ridges, or with a little shading under every ridge. You could also try flipping things around and have the main body be darker than the ridges.
Right now they're very low-contrast and flat. You can't really mistake them for anything other than metal floors, but they're more like symbols for metal floors than metal floors themselves, if that makes any sense.
I don't know if I agree with industrial working that well in a bank. You'd expect them to be a little bit more fancy, but if that's the art style you're going for, it might be a little hard to convey.

Try flipping the perspective so you're looking at the pages instead of the spine and see if that makes the floppy-colored book more readable.

well the idea is that the lighting values are calculated at these points and then used to generate a texture, which is then superimposed upon the normal textures. The light texture is pretty low resolution and so I use bi-linear filtering to make it smooth. So, there are no extra vertices, and all lighting calculations are done when compiling the level.

I'm going for whatever works. The original game had sort of a mishmash of objects and styles. I did speak with the creator already and while he's okay with it being mechanically similar, he does want my stuff to be more visually distinct, which is reasonable.
Here's an example of their stuff versus mine, and how an identical level would look

It's not a bank, it's a vault. He's a greedy notjew goblin, and goblin creatures are usually tinkers in most fantasy settings

Eh. That typical metal floor pattern still feels like it'd be there to keep construction workers from slipping rather than being resilient to attack. When I think vaults and banks, I think sleek and heavy. Maybe flat-looking squares with bolts in the corners or something, possibly with some shine to it.
Also, the metal tiles look more like walls or blocks than floors, especially if the bog-standard floor is going to be no floor, solid black.
At least in a game like this, it isn't too hard to change things around later. You might have a lot more trouble in other genres where the design will completely fuck over any semblance of harmony you might have achieved in placement.
But if you just want readability, then what you have works, at least for the time being. Just make sure the first introduction to the tile type forces the player to walk on it and that any items you intend to have on the floors will actually read well and don't blend in.

Breddy gud. The greens on the ground look a bit too grassy. A less organic green or bluish-green would help if you want green floors. The blue one is the best of the lot, has that cartoony and cute sort of thing going down. Kind of like the pastel that the nips like to use in their cutesy platformers, doujinsoft or otherwise.
Now the bevels look a little too abrasive and contrast a little too much, especially when compared to how low-key the friction ridges are. Like slightly gnawed and chewed cables running across the place. Somehow, it still looks nice. Genuinely nice.
Might actually be too cute and friendly for conniving and divisive not-jews.
If I didn't have to get lost in a hurry, I'd take a crack and trying to refine those tiles.

I've decided every control happens in the map window, now there are 4 tabs for each type of thing.
In the map tab, you will do things like select the currently being edited map, and maybe auto-link maps, so that they automatically spawn/despawn when you get close, very low priority
In the vertex you will be able to control all selected vertexes at once, like when you select multiple objects, you can set them all to the same Y position through the Transform control in the Inspector. This tab will serve a similar purpose
In the edge tab you will configure how the virtual vertexes will behave, things like spline curves and whatnot
In the Face tab you will set the FaceProperties object and configure it.
It will have things like base material, mesh generator (simple flat, river, earth path, etc) selector, detail (add objects, gpu grass, etc) list selector, etc. Most of the work will happen here, both in terms of how must is left to code, and in terms of how much it will do to the final product
For some reason, the FaceProperties selector didn't show in OBS, possibly because I recorded the Unity Window rather than a piece of the viewport

It does look worlds better, especially the top-level waves. I think the undercurrent looks a bit odd, but I don't know what to do to make it better. Maybe make it horizontal and try to align it with the crests of the surface?
c18197 No.13967888
>>13967851
Well the crests are bobbing up and down, while the refraction underneath is just moving up constantly.
Here's another where I have one that goes up and another that goes down

Events + collectibles + cat style. i.e. riding a spider will increase "Scared", collecting a messed up duck will increase the "Glitched" emotion, wearing a halo will increase "Zeal", etc. The level then changes based on the percents of each trying to mix the events/music/skybox/textures to match.

It looks better, but it still looks off. I think it's because the curve is just staying straight as it moves up, and it doesn't deform at all, unlike the surface waves.

Here's a useful guide that I made with literally all my knowledge I've got to make good rigs. I'm a complete amateur but I've been rigging daily for the past 3 months. This is not the same rig I used for my wedding Shinobu, this is a new rig I made that is far far better than the original. Blender documentation is scattered and forums are dead, I would have died to have found a guide like this. Hope it's of good use.
I didn't want to release my model because that's my hardwork and well it's just my taboo.

Great. Blender is slowly becoming a good piece of software. It already runs faster on Linux than Wangblows and lots of cool features like a new PBR renderer. At this pace though it will take them a decade to reach Maya and maybe 5 years to reach Cinema4D.
