Zaphod42 posted:Okay I thought I knew what bind culling and object streaming and all that referred to but I've seen people interpret it different ways and something was bothering me so I went and looked up more or less wtf CIG is even talking about... Yes, yes, let the hatred flow. Feel the dark side rise, and look at their development of serialized variables. Seriously, i’m at a loss to explain this professionally without the ‘that’s not how this works’. They’re standing on a rickety seesaw between latency and bandwidth, and have not innovated one jot. And it’s going to work on commercial tier amazon networking hardware. I backed for another wing commander, i got the longest disaster movie in history.

Zaphod42 posted:This is extremely ambitious but at least somewhat sane, if that's your goal, that's more or less the right way to go about it. Think physical bandwidth limitations on shared occupency hardware that you don’t control and merely consume. Think variable performance for nominally identical setup requests. Think software defined networking. Amazon is very clear in what it supports and what it doesn’t support, and nothing they do supports low latency. That’s one reason why the networking intrigues; You can do this kind of thing through lambda/microservices, and you can scale, but not at the speeds required for twitch gameplay, and you still have a dependency on the persistence store. They claim the numbers of Jita without even contending with the sheer bandwidth consumed by everyone of those idiots typing ‘!raffle’ at the same time.

Nyast posted:That isn't correct. While it's true that those are networking optimizations, bind culling removes the existence of entities that are far away from the player. Render culling does not display them, but the game still has to update (/simumalte) them, check its properties etc.. I think you’re falling into the trap of assuming that when the rubber meets the road, it’s attached to a wheel, hub, transmission, powertrain and engine, rather than just a jpeg of rubber. They’ve been at the networking for two years. I have no confidence, or if ocs depended on bind culling, would it not have a dependency someplace?

Render culling does not display them, but the game still has to update (/simumalte) them, check its properties etc.. No, this isn't correct. You can still do physics culling just like render culling without network culling. If you can say "this is far away so don't render it" you can say "this is far away so don't calculate physics on it" That doesn't require network changes AT ALL. The server will have to calculate all physics anyways so you can just get the updates and then start calculating again when they're close enough to matter. The only calcs the server should not be performing would be purely cosmetic client-side ones that don't affect gameplay, and thus can safely be dropped. You're also misinterpreting OCS. It SOUNDS like what you said, I assumed it was at first. But go look at what CIG have officially said about it, and its just more network optimizations. OCS is NOT asset streaming. E: both terms are horrible misnomers that don't really do what they say they do. Its seriously buzzword design. Maybe somebody at CIG misunderstood and thinks they're doing more than they are. Either way, these are all network optimizations and there's no reason you need to do that before implementing asset streaming or physics culling on the client.

XK posted:"This new mining mechanic, what material should we put in for mining?" I feel like this is Chris Roberts trying to build up reality by making the mundane. If he can build enough stuff in for the basic elements, it will make his world seem more alive. This is basically his version of "ice mining" The only problem is, despite having theme writers on hand, and no doubt smart people who can think of stuff for him, he may not listen. It's also possible he's no longer even involved at this level, and other people are trying to run with the ball. But I guess this is it then. Mine on a moon for shale. Which... I guess you can bring it home to make bricks? Patio blocks for your space trailer?

Everyone (with no brain) talks about how the Goons are against Star Citizen because they didn't get things their way, but the way Montoya carries on in defense of every single bone-headed thing CIG does is indicative of his investment and desires to be important in Star Citizen. The guy desperately wants to be the top dog at the head of one of the big boys that can say "WE WERE THERE" at the start of Star Citizen. Forge a big identity that would echo throughout the game's life if it actually came out and managed to keep its promises. But it won't. He's smart enough to notice that bad news and the extended lengths of time CIG takes to gently caress up makes people drop out or not buy in, and he absolutely can't have that happen or all the time and money he's already thrown into trying to get ready for Star Citizen goes belly up. There's almost no way this isn't his motivation. He wants to be the big dick spaceman masterboss, and if Star Citizen looks terrible in people's eyes he's not going to be able to convince anyone to join him and mop his space-deck, let alone managing to trick other TEST members into buying in. It's a big task to try to turn around public perception of this game and while I give him enough credit to be smart enough to see what could go wrong, I don't think he's capable of actually forging a winning argument in the face of CIG's calamitous decision-making. It's probably a good thing he's seemingly awful at it though, Star Citizen is not coming out and I imagine if he was actually convincing people to opt in a lot of them would be kinda pissed off at him after it all falls down.

This is the trap most professionals fall into when trying to figure out what the gently caress is happening with Star Citizen. They're like a mechanic trying to figure out why the car won't start, "Maybe it's this, maybe it's this" and it's their competency that makes it impossible for them to actually see the real problem. A professional mechanic won't see why the car isn't starting, because a mechanic would assume the car is otherwise ok, and would not expect it to be a JPEG of a car with a beehive where the engine should be, no gas tank, Twizzlers sticking out of the beehive as "wires", and a watermelon in the back with a piece of cardboard stuck to it that says "Fuel." This project is a loving hacked-together cargo-cult joke from stem to stern. There's nothing to troubleshoot.

Ya know, every time I think "That Derek Smart is actually not all that outrageous of a fella. Sure, he can be a little excitable, but..." And then, just as I think that, some dangling chain off of that unique brain of his wraps around an axle and rips out the undercarriage like the climax of a chase from Mad Max. Whether it's the whole 'Comma vs. Period' debate, or like now getting into slap-fights with Captain loving Kirk over exactly which Twitter version is correct, Derek just does something to make me shake my drat head and say. "Welp, that's our warlord." I'm reminded of a line from "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”
