It's all boring engine dev shit, and some basic AI gubbinz. Nothing really to show off.

c3f85d No.9427895
i did something neat
i added a "Script" node to the boxing AI
you just put another boxing tree in there
and that node follows the first node of that tree
so in this case, i've got my BasicOffense tree that just attacks and follows the enemy
but when i add an Equation to check if the enemy's attacking
if it's false, he keeps attacking
if it's true, he starts doing the first node of the Defense tree, which in this case would be to check if the enemy is attacking (i know, there's a bit of repeating this way, but otherwise i'd have to make copies of every script without certain nodes)
so now you can just make a short behaviour for the AI and reuse it in other behaviours, rather than having to remake the same nodes in each tree
i also got the ingame main menu working, with settings and all that shit

fuck, I wanted to answer the anon yesterday but i fell asleep, so here goes:
You are probably right, Unity and generally more accessible toolsets will have a bigger effect than geopolitical factors, also "renaissance" was totally the wrong word lul
HOWEVER, i still think russia in particular will be in a unique position in the coming years, and we will be seeing them become a bigger factor than they ever were before in vidya
>standard of living is going up
we are witnessing russia approach an almost "1st world" level at this point(much to the annoyance of tourists the world over muhahah)
making vidya is unfortunately a first world activity, this might be mitigated by the…democratization of development through unity and such, but its still a huge factor: making game costs a lot of time and effort, and the ROI is nebulous at best
>russians are hungry for a spot on the stage, and more than a little irritated at how they have been portrayed and propagandized by the west
RT has already been a smash hit, russian.."powers that be" have finally realized that propaganda needs to be aimed at your opponents more so than it needs to be aimed at your own people. Its only a matter of time until they venture into vidya(possibly with lolworthy results, but i still look forward to it)
>russia has not been subjected to the anti-intellectual movement that was/is so rampant, particularly in the US
pretty self-explanatory, russians are a strange bunch but there is more respect for..intellectual pursuits than there is in the west, and the…intelligentsia isnt such an elitist hivemind bunch of cunts like they are in the anglo dominated sphere(im sure they are still cunts, but not as bad)
>russians dont give a flying pair of yak kidneys about all this fucking pseudo-third-wave-feminist-trans-rights identity politics bullshit that is infesting western vidya atminb4 someone calls me leftypol
this alone should make for some refreshing ideas.
I might be acting naive here, but fact of the matter is we are witnessing a nation rise out of dark times, I believe the russians have some interesting stories to tell and they might show us some entirely new approaches because they are not confined to the western-liberal groupthink we are all living under, but have had a chance to experience it from afar(after all, the entire world has been americanized to some extent)

That's the last thing I'm going to do. Firstly, I haven't seen any competitor that was as good and affordable and secondly I still need to pay for a few more months.
The good thing is that I still have a zip with the last non-FB builds of the library. If they really add FB-shit in their next updates, I simply won't update. It is good as it is.
Not using it entirely isn't an option either. The worst thing is that I started having mixed feelings about this library anyway. Not about what it does - it's fucking brilliant and I wouldn't want to release any games without it (or an alternative) - but because it's the reason I'm locked in to Unity for my current project. I got the Unity version, not knowing that they would to release a FMOD version later. If I would have known that, I could have licensed that one and gotten support for Unity and UE4.
Well, crying isn't going to help. I'll just have to do the best with what I've got.

Full 3D, something like megaman legends.
Ideally it will be possible to just drag and drop new maps/campaigns in the 'streamingassets' folder in the game and just select them in the main menu or something. This is supposed to be the final goal for this editor

Still, it would be better if your tiles would have thickness. That way you can have tiles with no roof under clear sky. Otherwise light will leak in from everywhere.
My recommendation would be to have an extra outer mesh on every tile that gets automatically activated when you run the game. In the editor you should be able to toggle it.

>My recommendation would be to have an extra outer mesh on every tile that gets automatically activated when you run the game. In the editor you should be able to toggle it.
That's would be a bad idea, my game will be like megaman legends, this includes the camera, that could just get outside of the level geometry (https://youtu.be/0zm1Ysx2wd4?t=131)
I've tested that concept already, it works fine.
My game will have lots of small rooms, so that it will not be much advantage to be able to 'see through walls', as any room that you are not in will not draw at all.
Back to the editor, i've been thinking on some strategies with custom shaders, I might be able to make a shader that:
any pixel in world_position.x > 1 && < 2 then alpha = 0.1
or something like that. So that only the currently selected 'plane' will be fully drawn.
Back to the game, I might be able to make some algorithm to stop tiles that 'should not be visible unless seeing through walls' to stop drawing or something

>My game will have lots of small rooms, so that it will not be much advantage to be able to 'see through walls', as any room that you are not in will not draw at all.
The player seeing through walls isn't the real issue, it's that light doesn't get stopped so you have to make sure that there are no light sources outside of the rooms.
Are you working with deferred or forward lighting and gamma or linear color space?
If you are going with the modern deferred/linear mode, your shader idea might backfire horribly. You cannot have transparency in deferred shading and need to resort to hacks to get it.
What you could do then is use the camera's far clipping plane and maybe the global fog post processing effect.

If memory serves, that'll be forward/gamma. To make your choice a little bit easier:
>Linear vs. gamma
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LinearLighting.html
>Forward vs. deferred
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/RenderingPaths.html
With modern 3d games you typically go with deferred/linear + HDR (which is not the same thing as bloom). If you read the table and think that deferred is out because it lacks support for semi-transparent objects (i.e. glass surfaces, water), keep in mind that semi-transparent objects are automatically rendered in forward mode in Unity.
The number of dynamic lights than can affect an object in forward mode are capped. That means that if you have an alarm going off and want to use a couple of rotating red lights to light up your room, that can have quite the performance impact, if it works at all.
You have to make the choice based on what kind of game you want to make.
I want my game to run on absolute toasters.

I got climbing up ledges prototyped last night for my 3D ARPG in Godot. For now it barely works, and for some reason the raycast isn't properly checking the height of the ledge, allowing you to launch yourself up onto any height of ledge and pull yourself up it.

Fail. Don't make it multiplayer. Concentrate on making a good game first, then allow pubfags to play. Large unit counts are par for course when you realize our systems can handle easily several thousand sprites on screen at once.
If you want really good inbuilt pathfinding I'd recommend Unreal 4 using its 2D mode it'll take most of the trouble out of designing a good AI.

They're all hot garbage. Majority of them are incomplete, and despite how few things are non-static to a level, it always lags because flash is trash and can't handle it.

Meshes are being combined now, however, there are still some issues when generating them
cefb13 No.9439040
>>9438466
>Meshes are being combined now
I don't think you should combine all meshes. This will bite you in the arse, once you want to texture your levels. The entire level will have to use the same material and texture maps. You could safely combine identical meshes, but you don't need to since Unity does this by itself (it's called batching). Just make sure that all your tiles are set to "static", if they don't move.
>>9438475
I posted some basic info on those settings earlier.
Short version is that what you should use depends on the kind of game you're making. If you make heavy use of semi-transparent objects like glass/water, forward rendering is probably the better choice. If you make heavy use of lights/shadows, deferred is. Whether you should use linear or gamma mostly boils down to how you want lights to behave in regards to falloff. Modern, realistic looking games use linear as it produces a better result.
Which version of Unity are you using/planning to use for your game?
Oh, and if you use deferred rendering, keep in mind that the antialiasing settings in the quality options don't work. You'll have to use post processing AA then. There are various free solutions depending on which version of Unity you are using.
c3f85d No.9439129
>>9439040
if it doesn't actually affect the game itself, but it's just for performance and minor graphics, you could just leave it in the settings
I've got Forward/Deferred rendering in here
I've got a few of unity's built in AA in here, and FXAA if you want to use deferred lighting.
Shadows can be toggled on and off
and of course different resolutions fuck up how i wanted this to look
4a44b4 No.9439131
>>9439040
>This will bite you in the arse, once you want to texture your levels
The intent is for the tiles to behave like tiles.
While texturing is possible, it will only work if the pieces used to make the tile were made with 'put any texture here' in mind. About UVs, you can always use world position for uv and toss it out of the window, I bought Uber just for that.
I will probably devise some system to let you texture the floor, walls and ceiling separately, but nothing much fancier than that.
The intent is that those tiles in the tilesetwindow to be replaced with 'sets of pieces' like those you helped me make, where each set should not only make a different looking tile, but also how it behaves regarding textures should also be configurable
Each tile was combined from 48+ objects into a single one, however I will not combine the whole level until it is being loaded ingame, so that when you change a tile, only up to 9 tiles needs to be remade, rather than all of the map tiles
>Which version of Unity are you using/planning to use for your game?
5.3, unless some fancy stuff comes out in 5.4
The game will be, as much as possible, very low end graphically, both because I want it to be able to run in toasters (like mine) and because I like anime-like styles and low poly models (even if I can't do them at all)

Anybody here have any experience with libretro?
I've been making an OpenGL game (C++, with glfw for windowing and input), and I've been looking at retroarch cores, and it seems like I could simplify matters by providing my game as a libretro care, so I don't have to deal with any sort of windowing, and I won't have to deal with mappable controls because the libretro frontend handles that. I'll still be able to use OpenGL, which is the most important thing.
I've never implemented anything in Libretro, though, so I'm wondering if I'll be going down an long, fruitless path that is just going to be more trouble than it's worth, or even not save me any effort at the cost of making my game less accessible (as the people who want to play it would then have to have retroarch set up and configure their controls and the like through there).

the governments usually just ignore them. nothing bad happens to the citizens, but the gypsies never leave the country. honestly, they get off very lightly for all the shit they do. in bulgaria we had many cases of gypsies attacking medics that came to them for ambulances, and not much happened after that was shown on the news. There's also gypsy fortune tellers that somehow manage to scam people out of their money you'd think that nobody would be that dumb in CURRENT YEAR and they still live in mansions, even though they were revealed on television to be scam artists

I've had titty bounce since day one. Now, booty physics were requested by literally everyone online and offline, but updating the rig with new bones is a pain and I wasn't sure if it would look good for all that effort.
From the technical side, I ended up trashing the Blender boob rig and reusing its IK targets for the butt. Works well enough to keep it until I find a better excuse to update the whole rig.
So I added that, made the animations more seductive, added a look around mode that conveniently zooms in on her as well, and dusted off the old head tracking constraint. Thought it would all look ridiculous, but it's not really a big deal. A fairy robot elf wasn't gonna look serious to begin with.
Can't help but feel it's all wasted on the mediocre art, but that's not something you can fix overnight.

You don't, not directly. You do it either via ACS (manually spawning actors in sectors) or put a single actor that spawns other actors (individual raindrops/snowflakes) around it constantly.

First what you'll need is an actor that's the raindrop itself. See first picture.
Second, you'll need to put two actors on the other sides of the map, 99 and 100. Rain will spawn between there.
Third, write some code that gets the position of actor 99 and actor 100, and then spawns a whole shitton of raindrops in between them.

Thanks. I took a closer look at the obs settings and for some reason I was recording at 60fps 1080p lossless with a bitrate that would make Ronald Graham jealous.
Things in the video that I've been working on. It's been a while.
Rigged and animated shotgun model.
Animated shotgun reloading.
Recoil for all the weapons (most noticeable on the assault rifle as the spread gets bigger and the point it is aiming at slowly goes up higher.)
When running if the player crouches they will slide.
The faster the player is running the further they will slide.
If they are on an angle when they slide they will continue to slide.
If jump is pressed while up against a ledge the character will climb up on the ledge.
Running or walking up an incline will slow the player down, walking down an incline will speed the player up.
Some other things also shown in the video that I worked on a while ago but haven't really shared yet
If you reload a magazine fed gun while there is a round in the chamber you wont cock the gun, but if there isn't a magazine in the chamber you will.
If you reload the shells into an empty shotgun then cock it (moving a shell from the tube mag to the chamber) you can then add another shell to the tube mag.
If you are reloading a gun and there is a round in the chamber, you can cancel the reload and fire the gun.
The bullets have drop, penetration (that's what the wood and concrete textured boxes are for) and ricochet.
And that's about it for now without going into detail about all of the polishing done to make the character feel good to control. If only I was also an artist and could extend this polish to the animations and model fidelity :/

Sadly SP and friends haven't made any docs (maybe that has changed but I doubt it) on how to do that so you'll have to handle everything on your own by looking how it's done with other cores, you can use the craft (minecraft clone) core (or dinothawr / 2048 cores for a simple 2D game) as a guideline, there's also a PrBoom+ and Tyrquake port but those might be broken on some platforms
If you want to implement your own core player for some reason you can look at ZMZ (basically a gutted ZSNES turned into a core player).

A tangent is a vector telling you which way in 3D would be up or right on the UV map. It's necessary for normal maps to work, among other things.
q3map2 doesn't generate tangents for the geometry, you have to do it in Unity.

So I started concepting a fantasy TBS game
Interesting mechanics so far:
>Rather than just +food/production/gold per turn, tiles can also produce raw materials such as wood, ore, and stone. Workers can be assigned to process these resources into lumber, metal, and bricks respectively, and buildings have a resource and production cost (this is to make it take longer for each new city to become useful, and also to allow for more interesting racials)
>Cities have 4 tiers, depending on how many buildings were made, with an additional cost to uptier it. Doing so awards a specialization point, which allows you to upgrade a building (total 3 per city). This generally doubles their bonuses and allows you to more fluidly define eg a military or economic city
>Total of 10 races with different themes and approaches, such as small raids, longterm bleeding, sustainability, etc. Each race has its own set of units and buildings, but you can also choose from a number of factions per race, which provide additional benefits

Anyone here ever work on AI that has to search for a player, but without "cheating" by using information the AI wouldn't have access to, like the players current location?
Trying to work out how I'd get it to search in a way that isn't stupid as fuck and I can't think of one. All I've got right now is searching in a random spot in the direction of the players last known location.
I was hoping on making it work dynamically rather than relying on set "search points" or something similar that are set by the level designer.

without search points there's not much to do, even MGS2 used heavy scripting when the AI was on search mode.
adc5e1 No.9457864
>>9457647
You could divide your level or area into zones. These zones could be used as a probability of where the A.I thinks the player is. So the AI would start in the most probable zone (the player's last known location), and then work it's way to the less probable areas. Things like footprints, footsteps, or other sounds the player makes could be used to adjust the probability of the zones as the AI comes across them. Still uses a search point of the players last known location, but it would be a bit more organic.
650f21 No.9457926
>>9457819
I figured as much. I was using EQS (using UE4) but it's really not appropriate for such a thing, as it's far too computationally expensive to do things like finding cover dynamically when you have upwards of 40 AI. I don't really need that many, but the more the merrier. I fucking hate games being super limited like Skyrim's 'epic' battles of 8 people in the civil war.
>>9457864
That's not a bad idea. Dividing up zones of the level dynamically could work out being very weird, which leads me back to the predicament of having everything set by a level designer. I suppose you're almost required to do that in the end.

It's hard to do it randomness without reference points or an established patrol route
I once Implemented it on a dream making the player green and searching for green with a camera, but as I said, it was only a dream.
You could also cheat a little and use the last steps by the player before he kills a guard as search points
adc5e1 No.9458097
>>9457926
Any room or level can be simplified into an entrance and an exit. If I were a guard and I think I spotted an intruder, the first thing I'd do is either head to that spot, or go to an entrance or exit. You could then define zones by distance from the entrance/exit and the point the player was last spotted. Then all you'd have to do is write in special cases for any complex rooms. I guess I like the idea of searching based on probability, which lends itself to AI being about choices and all. If you can abstract your room layouts enough, you can define behavior that work for most cases.

If anyone wants the fix, here it is:
Change the encoding type from UTF-8 to ascii, in VS via: file -> advanced save options -> encoding
Do this for the file you're doing #include "myShader.compute" on, so change the encoding of the file "myShader.compute" just to be clear.
Also, remove any "#pragma kernel myShader" from the included compute shader, and blam, you having a working #include for compute shaders.
Now… all I need to fix is VS not letting me use intellisense for cg, and .compute files with the addons I grabbed.
Might have to do a re-install of VS, anyone know of a solution? I tried uninstalling + resinstalling the addon, restarting VS after this, but no luck.
I can see it in the add-on menu, and in the properties tab, but the default ctrl + space/ctrl + j, doesn't have a pop-up for intelisense in cg or .compute files.

Oh man, now that you mentioned MakeHuman, there's this shit that happened to me some time ago, related to that.
I was young and stupid, but I still could hold my ground when it came to 3D modeling. I happened to join a dev team developing a horror game, and I was tasked with modeling enemies. I told the project leader right off the bat that I wasn't proficient with organic modeling at all, yet he still wanted me to do that. Therefore, I told him that I would be using a base taken from MakeHuman, and he agreed. The guy wasn't very bright. When I sent him pics of my progress on the enemy, he kept complaining that it was too "blocky", and I kept saying that, in-engine, it won't look like this. For the record, I had smooth shading enabled in Blender. They were using UDK, so it had to look quite a bit better. My topology was alright, it had a decent and regular triangle density, and the overall tricount was rather high. 25-30k I think. I got a hold of Zbrush, and imported the model to sculpt it. I increased the tricount significantly, and this time around, when I sent the project leader pics, he quit complaining. I think the count was over 100k at this point.
Some time later, I got kicked off the team, because I was using MakeHuman models as a base. I told him that he had agreed with me on my decision, yet he still told me that I could "reapply" or some shit.

How good is Unity Engine at loading level chunks on the fly? I want to generate terrain as you move, which means a bunch of loading/unloading of content during gameplay.

While I didn't get a working solution from the forums, one poster did give me a good idea. Rather than dealing with all this bullshit by myself via scripting, I just let the physics engine handle all this crap.
The initial tests with adding various kinds of joints to an invisible object that floats a meter in front of the player are promising. When picking the object up, I just attach the object's rigidbody to the joint and it works almost perfect.
