Time Nick Message 02:54 MTDiscord alternatively, make a brand new game using the MT engine 02:54 MTDiscord maybe something that doesn't have the 7 years of historical cruft like CTF 02:58 VanessaE but without that 7 years' worth of cruft, existing mods may break :P 03:12 MTDiscord who gives a fuck about that 03:12 MTDiscord i shouldn't have to snap my spine in twain because of someones inability to keep up 03:17 VanessaE who cares? just about every modder :P 03:17 VanessaE no one's gonna code mods for a one-off game that no one uses 03:17 VanessaE well almost no one 03:18 VanessaE that's why when I restarted Dreambuilder I stuck with mtg for its base files, though they do get small changes here and there. 03:18 VanessaE still, DB should be fully compatible with everything. 03:18 VanessaE (provided those things are in turn compatible with 5.4.0) 03:26 MTDiscord looks at nodecore 03:28 VanessaE *shrug* just my opinion 03:29 VanessaE I google that term and I get some java package 03:32 VanessaE (though I did find the MT one quickly enough) 03:32 VanessaE to be fair, Jordach is pretty biased against mtg :P 03:33 VanessaE which reminds me, whatever became of BFD? 03:40 MTDiscord searching it via tor on google/duckduckgo, nodecore on cdb is the first result, followed by the java package 03:41 MTDiscord i believe he has a test server for it 03:42 MTDiscord @Jordach 03:45 MTDiscord several game descendants 03:45 MTDiscord one of them specifically being the most impressive game for the engine 03:45 MTDiscord https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5dolTfaPgA 03:46 VanessaE ah it was the first result for me, but for some reason my eyes just skipped over it 03:46 VanessaE all anyone needs is Dreambuilder Game. :) 03:46 VanessaE (or will, once I declare it ready to use) 03:48 MTDiscord "all anyone needs is Dreambuilder Game. ?" if they enjoy being lag 03:48 MTDiscord *lagged 03:49 MTDiscord on march 4th i'm coming into possession of one of those funky ARM MacBooks 03:54 MTDiscord Diversity i guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 04:10 VanessaE Jordach, in practice DB doesn't lag in singleplayer, and even on my Creative server it's usually quite reasonable. it's not vanilla mtg but then what do you expect, it has a fuckton of mapgen mods 04:10 MTDiscord i've gone from using a VPS to just paying the ISP a bit more money for business class internet 04:10 VanessaE (well my server runs the old modpack version but the game version is pretty much the same apart from the theming and getting rid of those fucking fake apple trees.) 04:10 MTDiscord because my Ryzen 5 box can handle far more than a single core Xeon that's effectively shared 04:11 MTDiscord think you're looking for one of these 04:11 MTDiscord https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/747163533212516474/815436019486818364/71xB6oRV1bS.png 04:11 VanessaE heh 04:12 VanessaE fwiw I've been eyeing a Ryzen 5/3600 based machine 04:12 VanessaE once I can afford ity 04:12 MTDiscord i already have that machine 04:12 MTDiscord was tempted to spend my big flex money on a Ryzen 5800X and a RX 6800XT 04:13 VanessaE wanna put an AMD RX 5500 XT on it but G*d damn those have gotten expensive. doubled in price in the past month or so 04:13 VanessaE (presently ~$520 according to pcpartpicker) 04:13 VanessaE https://pcpartpicker.com/user/VanessaE/saved/#view=7tV7RB 04:13 VanessaE this is my plan 04:14 MTDiscord i current wield a GTX 1080ti 04:14 VanessaE it was in the upper $700 range when I started it, now > $1000 and nothing's changed but the vendor the GPU comes from (I keep having to update it) :( 04:14 MTDiscord protip 04:14 MTDiscord you can get away with certain B450 boards 04:14 VanessaE anything nVidia is a hard pass form me 04:15 MTDiscord mine supports the 5800X 04:15 MTDiscord i actually sent my old machines DDR3 RAM to Emerald 04:16 MTDiscord yes i paid the express shipping tax 04:16 MTDiscord it's 7 years old by that point and i have nothing it goes in 04:16 VanessaE I think my current machine still runs DDR3.. :P (1333 iirc) 04:16 MTDiscord mine was 1600 04:17 VanessaE if you didn't look at the pcpartpicker link, the new one will have DDR4-3200 04:17 MTDiscord i got 2x16GB DDR4 @ 3200 for less than $120 04:18 VanessaE and maybe that GPU or whatever I put in it will be new enough for blender to actually use for rendering :P 04:18 VanessaE (my current R9 280X is too old for OpenCL) 04:18 MTDiscord >using amd for cycles 04:18 MTDiscord prices of components have gone crazy due to scalpers and shortages 04:18 MTDiscord you've done it wrong lass 04:18 MTDiscord Cycles is moving towards RTX 04:18 VanessaE Cycles? Eevee is the new hawtness nowe. 04:18 VanessaE -e 04:18 MTDiscord it's not RT 04:18 MTDiscord it looks like a cheap game engine duct-taped 04:18 VanessaE I've done what wrong? 04:19 MTDiscord the Cycles raytracer is moving towards OptiX / RTX 04:20 MTDiscord Eevee also fucking sucks for my things that depend on custom texturing implementations 04:20 MTDiscord while it uses Principled, it still takes forever to rebuild the textures 04:21 MTDiscord as i do a lot of per-channel processing 04:21 MTDiscord even alpha 04:21 VanessaE you know, now that I've said that... I think my renders are still based on Cycles 04:21 VanessaE *checks* 04:22 MTDiscord nVidia drivers works on my machine 04:22 MTDiscord and i drive a weird combo of 29" Ultrawide + 165hz ASUS panel 04:22 VanessaE hm. yep, Cycles for rendering. I think it's just the "lookdev" 3d view mode that uses Eevee. 04:23 VanessaE btw, I ever show you how far along my skillz have gotten? :) 04:23 VanessaE https://gitlab.com/VanessaE/my-hypercube-files-big-version-320x320/-/blob/master/Images/Render.png 04:23 VanessaE (note to self: re-render that, the toolhead is out of date) 04:24 MTDiscord my house at this point is wired with enterprise wireless AP, cat 7 eth, etc 04:24 MTDiscord i can pull a few nosehairs over a gigabit on wifi 04:24 MTDiscord :dungeonmaster: 04:24 MTDiscord https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/747163533212516474/815439366771572816/20210227_232420.jpg
