There should be an incredibly complicated and fidelitous air horn changing minigame where you have to screw the horn on another can of compressed air while ragdolling everywhere. Or at least Toops could promise one while looking incredibly coked out.

I immediately asked for a refund and waited almost 2 months before I got a response which advised me that they were looking into it and would get back to me. 1 week later 2.0 was released and I got the 14 days, no refund response due to the terms of service. Still have my account and load up in my Connie to grief the poo poo out of all the fan boys.

I hope they get working on their death penalty system soon so whales can bitch about being penalized for T posing through the walls of their ships while in warp. Putting in a death penalty while you can still die in innumerable ways from the game bugging out seems like something CIG would do.

In any case if they did say that the PS4 could run it, then CIG has some of the dumbest motherfuckers running PR. They could have easily said that SQ42 runs on a [CPU and GPU roughly equal to a PS4] and it would've sounded a lot better.

There are plenty of games that still have that sort of complexity... all the info is just put into wiki's online rather than an obnoxious tome that if you misplace ruins the game. I'm not a fan of games that make me alt-tab into a wiki every 5 minutes, but they exist

Berious posted:Your physicks are amazing! Feels way more weighty and immersive than CIGs. Also the dreams asteroid made me lol for real Thanks dude! Nvidia's PhysX engine is fantastic, and comes native to Unity and UE. The guys that designed it are way smarter than I'll ever be, so I try to let PhysX do all the real work. I think of the ship as a simple sphere with mass, then just push on it with forces and twist it with torque. Contrast this with CryEngine which doesn't use PhysX, and CIG's ultima-fidelity-online approach, and tbh I'm impressed CIG's FM is as good as it is. It's immeasurably more complex to do individual thruster forces, and it's a wonder those ships fly at all. Literally every ship CIG makes needs its own custom physics-based flight model code, whereas I can use the same exact script, just tune the parameters, and get a completely different feeling ship based on those params alone. The time saved could be, oh, I don't know, spent working on the actual GAME? The way I designed the flight model was just forces, torques, and per-axis dampening. When I pull in a new ship model, I just slap the FlightController on there and specify the forces for each direction of flight. Each direction also has a "damping" value, so (theoretically) you can "reduce" the net force in a given direction. Say if your main thrusters get damaged or something, you'd take forceDampeningZ from 1 to 2. Now you have half the force. I haven't found cause to use it yet, because although I register where ramming damage came from, the damage model doesn't care atm. All damage is created equal. If at some point if feels like that would add to the experience, I'll hook it up. But it's good enough for now just to have the hooks flapping around free. I try not to pre-solve problems, or add features "just because" unless the game feels like it needs it. Then I jacked E:D's "flight assist" idea, so if you're moving but not thrusting in a given direction, the flight model applies a force opposite that direction of travel until you stop. So if you're strafing left, and you stop strafing, your ship will "strafe right" to counteract your velocity until it reaches 0. The only direction this isn't true for is forward/reverse. It feels really good to kind of "power coast" through space. As for pitch/yaw/roll, same deal. There's a torque value per axis, and a "dampening" value. I set the torque values for each axis to limit rotation in certain directions (another Elite feature). You can pitch (rotate around x axis) much faster than you can yaw (rotate around z-axis). This naturally encourages you to roll your ship and pitch, because looking left and right feels too slow. But it also gives the ship a feeling of weight, and puts you in pilot-problem-solving mode, which I find more fun that twitch-turret-in-space mode. The net result feels way better to me than freelook noclip wallhax mode in SC. The final bit was "boost," which is just as simple as adding an impulse force in the forward direction. In PhysX, you have several different force types. The one used for thrusters is just generic constant Force: code:code:You can also disable the "flight assist", and you'll get the "decoupled" or "KSP" mode, which is as simple as flipping a boolean to false, and the "anti-velocity" logic won't act on the body. The Neutron Paaarp Horn will temporarily disable people's flight assist if they're in the blast radius. So once again, I spent the time coding it this way to satisfy a gameplay requirement. The only place things get hairy is working with rotation, really. Rotation is expressed as a Quaternion (4-dimensional projection of 3-dimensional rotation), which has literally no application to reality whatsoever, and so solutions aren't always intuitive. Jesus loving effortpost man. I hope that wasn't boring.
