What Are You Working On? July 2015 - Developers

I've been trying out UE4, mainly to get back in to using C++ after like 4 years of not touching it. As my first project, I've ported my Vive Minecraft clone and improved it a bit: [vid]http://files.facepunch.com/ziks/2015/July/21/2015-07-21-1701-02.mp4[/vid]

None of these MP4s ever work for me. I feel like I'm missing out. :frown: [editline]:([/editline] Several of the WebMs don't work, either.

I've tried UE4 in the past, and it just didn't feel right, it seemed a bit slower, and that it took longer to do things I was used to doing in Unity. How are you liking UE4 compared to Unity?

[QUOTE=Killuah;48260719]What's your input device?[/QUOTE] The motion controllers that come with a Vive.

Overall I'm really impressed, Epic have the benefit of making engines for well over a decade so their tech feels a great deal more powerful and solid than Unity with its many quirks. The main drawbacks for me are that it's pretty slow to recompile your code, so you can't really iterate as rapidly compared to Unity, and it crashes the entire editor if your code faults.

[QUOTE=geel9;48261265]Lmao what[/QUOTE] You're writing native code, so I guess it's better to not take any risks. [editline]21st July 2015[/editline] Teaches you to be more careful too

[QUOTE=Ziks;48261258][B]crashes the entire editor if your code faults.[/B][/QUOTE] Welp, looks like I'm not gonna be touching UE4 for a while. :vs:

It's not that bad because the editor is pretty quick to start back up

[QUOTE=Ziks;48261285]You're writing native code, so I guess it's better to not take any risks. [editline]21st July 2015[/editline] Teaches you to be more careful too[/QUOTE] Doesn't the Unity editor lock up if you cause an infinite loop during playtesting?

[QUOTE=Ziks;48261285] Teaches you to be more careful too[/QUOTE] Pain is programmers best friend.

[QUOTE=cartman300;48261524]Don't try .. catch statements work with this? Last time i was trying UE4 it worked quite well when quickly writing code.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but not when you fail an assertion in engine code, which is what most of my errors are.

And what I am working on? Re-learning how to type with 10 fingers. It's hard because every keypress must be coinscousnlylyl what ever this word is called.

[QUOTE=Fourier;48261606]And what I am working on? Re-learning how to type with 10 fingers. It's hard because every keypress must be coinscousnlylyl what ever this word is called.[/QUOTE] consciously?

[QUOTE=sarge997;48261401]Welp, looks like I'm not gonna be touching UE4 for a while. :vs:[/QUOTE] Well, Unity Editor does freeze unrecoverably if you accidentally do an infinite loop anywhere in a script. And that should be an easy thing for them to detect and try to recover from it. Not to mention when it decides on its own that it's time for the occasional crash.

Infinitely

[QUOTE=krix;48262069]Infinitely[/QUOTE] Well, he might stop, it's just not possible to figure out if he ever will :v:

You could at least cover a reasonable amount of common mistakes with a list of trivial cases.

finally figured out why my AI chat function wasn't working. It was writing the memory addresses too fast for the program to recognize them. Got it working now (who needs sleeps when you can use Console.Beeps) [url]https://streamable.com/q2ry[/url]

[QUOTE=ECrownofFire;48262575]You could at least cover a reasonable amount of common mistakes with a list of trivial cases.[/QUOTE] Or just put in a timeout after a second or so, since Unity isn't threaded and as such a script hogging resources like that is a very bad thing anyway :smug: (.NET actually does this with finalizers, they are shut down if they take too long.)

[QUOTE=Tamschi;48263167]Keep it.[/QUOTE] Gonna keep it as a feature. Its also currently possible to maul your fellow dungeon crawling friends to death. Also rats can finally strike back. [img]http://i.gyazo.com/2dda0350d80ecd07b334d0c4c88b720b.png[/img]

hi waywo it's been a long time. i sure have missed you. let's all cuddle. sometimes i feel like a retarded phil fish in a time vortex where i'm doomed to retry the same concepts in slightly different ways design/implementation wise until they either get out of my head because they're like shards of glass or i finish my project finally.
