Arcsquad12 posted:Source Engine is such a malleable engine as well it's crazy that Valve has done jack poo poo with it. Those visual overhauls I separated from the hentai and bridge obsession show just how pretty the engine can be. Titanfall uses Source, and it looks great. But Valve only ever uses it to update TF2 every now and then, and Portal 2's graphics have been hosed for years now because the last patch completely wrecked the DX11 (or 10?) settings so any wet surface doesn't have ambient occlusion and looks ugly as sin. Aren't they working on a Source 2 now? They're probably focusing effort on that rather than trying to give Source any sort of last hurrah. They may be interested in getting into the Engine game alongside Epic, which they wanted to do with Source originally but kind of failed at because the original release wasn't flexible enough to really work as a general purpose engine for sale (which is why VtM: Bloodlines is so hacky with the things mentioned earlier in the thread like inventory items being hard-coded).

Cythereal posted:I think FPS games also attract a different kind of audience - and modder - than RPGs do. At the very least a game like UT is never going to have arguments about how "lore friendly" a mod is. I think the roleplaying aspect of RPGs inspires a certain level of crazy just because the psychology of modding for "immersion" is different. Immersion is all about losing yourself in the world, so the stuff you mod into your game is stuff that you want to be there because it's what you want your perfect fantasy world to be like. Hence all the sex and titty modes. When you mod a game like UT, it's more about "what crazy thing will be the most fun to gently caress around with?"

Gynovore posted:Yeah, it's always amusing to hear sperglord mod authors try to defend their obvious fapbait mods. "Huh huh huh, this is MY ARTISTIC VISION, if you get turned on by it that's your choice, huh huh huh." I think the difference is that the slab is explicitly for porn mods so there's no need to pretend. Nexus mods meanwhile are essentially the modding equivalent of being "horny on main" - it's where most people go to get all their mods so it's probably more associated with their primary online identity than whatever disposable handle they use for porn stuff.

Dire Lemming posted:Man now I want a mod for a full body tattoo that grows and shrinks with your magic because that would actually own. That was actually a Fable thing as well. Although it was more like "you get all sorts of crazy glowing tattoo lines on your body the more magic you learn". I don't think it changed in intensity based on how much mana you had. Orv posted:Isn't dynamically resizing textures one of the biggest absolute no nos in Bethesda's engine? Maybe I'm thinking of something else though. I don't know if you can resize/move textures dynamically but you might be able to do something by playing with alpha values which you can change dynamically. Something like breaking a tattoo up into segments and having them fade out as you drain power. If you got creative with it you could do a lot more than just a basic bar, too - something like having finer details only show up when fully charged so as you use up magic power, your magic tattoo gets simpler/less intricate.

Max Wilco posted:Maybe this isn't the best place to ask, but are there any good mods for the original XCOM games? I remember there was some pirate themed one released a while ago that supposed to be pretty good (if somewhat weird), and I recall there being some sort of source port as well. I was beaten on OpenXCom as I was typing this but re: the other two games: Apocalypse is pretty good but it made a lot of changes from the original that weren't popular at the time (the realtime mode in particular was a point of contention). There aren't going to be any mods for it though - it doesn't even have a fan patch because of how byzantine the executable is. There is a source port being made but it's nowhere near finished yet. TFTD is basically an official total conversion for the original and you can safely skip it.

Max Wilco posted:Terror from the Deep just seemed interesting since it was underwater, Cthulhu (?) themed take on the series, but from what I remember reading, Microprose just jacked the difficulty up to the point where the game was nigh-impossible. Honestly the theming in TFTD is actually pretty cool but yeah, it's essentially the same game as the first one with a bunch of arbitrary difficulty tacked on. Even the hardcore fans of the first one that can breeze through a superhuman game hate it because it's not even the FUN kind of hard, it's just a bunch of BS. Apocalypse was actually the very first X-Com game I played aside from a demo of UFO Defense ages ago so I might be biased to answer "yes" but I think the game is intuitive enough that you can more or less understand what you need to do without having previously played an X-Com game. You might want to check a guide for beginner's tips just because there's a few specific things you'll want to be doing that aren't completely intuitive, but for the most part the play cycle is easy enough to follow and the interface is a lot easier to use than the older games. You probably won't WIN on your first attempt, but this is true of the originals as well. TimNeilson posted:nope, that was in the original xcom, which was why they jacked the difficulty way up in tftd, because everyone who was playing on hard went "hey guys this is super easy even on hard mode" Incidentally, this bug is fixed in OpenXCom so you won't have to worry about it if you play that.

Honestly a lot of people are giving Umbrella poo poo for their business practices but "let's just mix a bunch of chemicals together and see if we can sell the result" is basically how actual pharmaceutical companies operate. Umbrella just happens to have the misfortune of existing in a universe where "horrible monsters" is a realistic outcome to that kind of experimentation rather than just like, a pill that doesn't do anything useful.

The Doom modding community still going strong actually makes a lot of sense to me, because the barrier to entry is really low. If you want to make a map in a modern game, assuming it even supports it (so few do anymore), the detail required to look up to par is way beyond the casual modder just picking up the toolset for the first time. Meanwhile in Doom, can you draw some straight lines on a 2D image? Congratulations, you can make a Doom map.

It's funny how someone can use a smug "don't you know half the world is below average intelligence" statement to justify why a trait that's meant to represent EXCEPTIONAL stupidity should be so common. It's like they don't seem to understand that the whole point of the traits system isn't just "this person has this attribute". It's "This person was so famous for having this attribute that people still remember it centuries later".

Zushio posted:Please explain this image for those of us whose understanding of CK2 amounts to total and utter confusion. The icons with the blue hearts represent negative genetic traits - things like "clubfooted" or "weak" (green are positive ones, like "genius" and "strong"). In the base game the way they work is that there's a very small chance that someone will just be randomly born with them (something like 0.1%), otherwise there's a 15% chance per parent that has one to inherit them (so if both parents have "weak", any children they have will have a 30% chance to also be weak). What this means is that in the base game, most characters don't have any of these traits at all. Characters with FOUR are so improbable you are unlikely to ever see one in hundreds of hours of playing (there are a couple of special events that will specifically generate characters with preset combos of 3, but it's easy to spot them and filter them from the results). What this mod has done is managed to take that highly improbable scenario and apparently make it common enough that people are seeing it multiple times within a single game.

It's also just a matter of stuff like, at the time steel was the cheapest material they had to manufacture a lot of that stuff and steel it turns out is extremely durable. Plastics aren't nearly as tough but are a lot cheaper, so we mostly use that now for things that never had to be that resilient in the first place.

habituallyred posted:When X-Piratez first showed up on RPS it had the pirate theme front and center. Your starting crew was packing a flintlock knockoff of the original XCOM loadout. One actual machine gun for the autocannon and actual cannons standing in for the cannons, etc. Most of your funding came from capturing enemy units, ranging from soldiers to practically unarmed tourists, and ransoming them off. A bunch of weird stuff just for the sake of stuff, and terrible slavery mechanics, but some fun. X-Piratez is like peak "modding community" because it is this huge comprehensive total conversion that changes the whole way the game works, and then also loads it with tons of softcore porn for no reason.

Angry Diplomat posted:The funniest part of this whole derail is that XCom: Chimera Squad just came out, and it establishes as canon that humans, aliens, and hybrids now live in an uneasy state of relative peace. Also, the tutorial mission basically takes the guy on the left here, copies him several times, and uses him as a pack of dumbshit terrorists who are mad that XCom didn't genocide all the non-humans at the end of the war. What's more, Chimera Squad can straight up recruit a Viper, and she has a special intro scene with your (human, male) intelligence officer that strongly exudes "acrimonious breakup" vibes. They have 100% leaned into it. There are screenshots of snake strip clubs.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:Pretty sure there's pregame options to slow Avatar Project progress (less world map meter insanity) and extend (maybe remove?) in-mission timers. This is true but I think the issue is less the actual consequences of making mistakes, because the base game, unmodded, is actually pretty forgiving (much more than Enemy Unknown was, where losing a few early missions could gently caress your whole game due to abduction missions being your primary source of cash/engineers/scientists until you have some satellites up), but rather that the presentation gives it a sense of urgency that makes it seem like you absolutely cannot ignore it. Like compare to the original games, where the game basically just pops up a notification "hey we detected a UFO do you want to pause the game and go to it or nah?". I think a big thing that bugs people a lot about the newer XCOM games is that they are very heavily built around opportunity cost; by doing one thing you can't do another thing, and it makes you very aware of the things you are giving up when you make those decisions. Every strategy/management game has those kinds of decisions, but they're usually much more passive background things, like choosing to focus on building your economy instead of your miliatry, and so on. XCOM brings that all up to the surface with very blatant moments of "here are three things you need. You can only take one." It doesn't make the game more difficult, because of course the game is balanced around the fact that you can only take one thing, but it makes it feel very stressful because you always feel like you're giving up more than you're getting.

It is technically a 100% valid interpretation of the data as presented, it's just a thing where a human understanding of the context of the image and how there is definitely not a face there is something the AI doesn't have.
