    Unity 5 released

    Discovered something interesting / crazy in Unity yesterday. For awhile I've been noticing in the shaders I write that sometimes incoming data is unexpectedly already in world space. If I do the usual model transform, it doubles it, placing it doubly far away from the origin with double the...

    Hah I actually never got rid of that scale. When I got it all zeroed out, the exported file has a scale of 10, and an LCL scale of 0.1, so they sort of cancel each other out. It annoyed me so much I hand edited all the scales to 1 1 1, and it still had a 10 10 10 scale when imported into Maya...

    I was coding on some outfit stuff for changing gear out of inventory and swapping out meshes and materials. I needed some test data and made a really crappy outfit and got it working with that. Then I remembered that torchlight 1 and 2 come with lots of cool outfits, so I decided to throw a...

    The practice sessions that showed up on usenet are from C4? To me that says explosives. Is that a channel in the UK? It seems like bbc people. Lee McKenzie and Karun Chandhok I really like. The commentary dude is I think one of the bbc dudes, very radio-voice.

    me2me2! I also like being able to look at someone and see their story, where they've been and such. It wasn't always possible in EQ, but sometimes pieces stuck out. Like if you saw a rogue in plate leggings you knew he'd been in live tower, or the dragonscale bps etc.

    YeaI went today and looked and they didn't have the stuff on the list I wanted. I randomly got big sky which I knew was pretty tasty, and ethos which I had never tried. They are 14 and 20 carbs whereas the snakedog stuff is 10. I'll just have one now and then.

    I must have missed where modern games have CC. Sheep spell? One at a time? Loremaster flash of light? Again one mob. Undead only 5 mobs that lasts a whole 10 seconds? Same thing for sorcerer/sage. That's not really crowd control that's one thing control. And inter class dependency is...

    I'm snagging bits of it for a simple rpg. Like the concept of rare stuff in a "camp". In an instance game you clear the instance and have a chance at the mob you want being up, and then a chance at getting the drop you want. If neither are, you have to start over and reclear. With EQ style %...

    Thanks I will see if I can find two hearted. I know for sure I've had snake dog's ipa and I think it was pretty good, and the local place has it. I'd only have one every now and then, so shouldn't be too bad

    I think the lasting a month comment was referring to the locals. It is true enough, I played most new stuff that came out as it was kind of part of the job. They were mostly one month experiences with a few exceptions. I do go back and play stuff. I'll pop into lotro or elderscrolls or...

    Pulling up a list off wiki the only stuff I see at a glance that we really cared about here since warcraft are: Warhammer, Vanguard, Conan, Aion, Champions, Allods, Elderscrolls, and Wildstar. Some of those go in a very different direction and may take little or no influence. One was so...

    I ran around near Howth as a nature hippy and fought lots of spraggons and curmudgeons and rat boys and mudmen and AFTER ME LUCKY CHARMS little assgoblins. Good fun! Definitely a bit harder at lower levels. Even cons were a loss unless you sprint away and blast em a bit.

    Learning rigging is a curse. Once you know it you begin to see how sloppy games are, in particular western games. Flattening thighs and smooshed warped asses during bending. Car accident victim style shoulder movement. And then you see a soul calibur where the rigging is absolutely...

    BTW a new maya update hit the monday after Ludum Dare and it comes with an auto rigger! Does a pretty good job too!. For my character it glued the head to the shoulders a bit, probably because it is animu style so has a huge head, but it was really easy to fix in the weights. Going to be a...

    It looked really bad, and I thought he'd be black flagged, but his penalty was rather light. Maybe the blame wasn't 100% if you look at the data. Or maybe they just didn't want to be too harsh at his home race I dunno.

    Lifetime of beings on board a ship wouldn't be much of an issue if they can somehow survive high acceleration. Ship time can be less years than the distance in light years with length contraction. I don't remember any specifics but seems like if you can get up to 0.9999 c fairly quickly a 100...

    That's always tricksy. Like if you ever want a bigger house you have to slowly acquire the nearby lands holding with little mini farms and such. And then destroy em all as fast as you can and try to plop the big house down before someone comes along and snags it. It is just about the most...

    I was just in some similar stuff, writing a generic RPG library. I went with generic accessory slots but it gets tricksy if you have say 5 slots and an artist makes 2 accessories go in the same spot on the model.
