@pikzel08 The way his eyes are set up in a technical sense is fascinating too, and rendering the model without any of the hacks the game does results in... this...

@Fig02_ @FigSSBM Out of context, I 100% thought this was a weird way of asking if someone was gay🙃

[Dylan Ascencio @SageOfMirrors]

My turn! Follow me over there if you want I guess

[Dylan Ascencio @SageOfMirrors]

@Tonymation The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker does something similar! The King's arms here are stretched so that his hands are in the frame but the camera is not clipping into his body.

@Pablomf6 Notice they said "...video games are obtained by downloading illegally copied software ... from Internet distributors." If I recall my tech ethics course correctly, that's because making your own backups of software is perfectly legal. But they don't want you to know that.

@mattelodeon Very pretty, but lore-wise this is objectively the worst thing any Princess Zelda has ever done😅

[Dylan Ascencio @SageOfMirrors]

@Blurbstv I'm very familiar with how trains work in RDR2, so I'd be curious to know how you did this!

@xdanieldzd This just makes me mad. No one is entitled to whine about bugs or weird decisions in our tools if they're still using most of the original code! If it bothers you so much, *fix the bugs* instead of punching down at the dev that spent precious time making something that *works*.

Since there's only a month and 5 days left until the big move, I'd like to officially announce this:

Starting November 18th, I will be joining Rockstar London as a Software Engineer working on their FiveM/RedM online platform.

[Dylan Ascencio @SageOfMirrors]

@ZeldaLoreYT I've definitely got some strong opinions about the lore! Great game, really enjoyed it.

[Dylan Ascencio @SageOfMirrors]

@Luap67azer What probably happened here is that someone made the collision mesh + the visible model together at one point, but then later the visible model was tweaked and ended up not matching the collision 100%. I'm sure QA would have caught it if it was severe enough, but not this time.

@vampiric_shirin Right in front of my 沙拉 !?

[Dylan Ascencio @SageOfMirrors]

Added the ability for the engine to tell the application if it's waiting for a textbox to close. I've implemented the app side as a popup for now, but in the future I feel like I could eventually make specialized textbox mock-ups for the 3 games this tool applies to.

The Wind Waker, Demo18, getperl_jab.stb. Cutscene where King of Red Lions talks to Jabun. The two most common interpolation types for camera movement seem to work perfectly. Now how do I design the editor side?

[Dylan Ascencio @SageOfMirrors]

What do you MEAN you're glitching out, I WROTE you

Apparently I've forgotten how to use my own damn library 🙃

[Dylan Ascencio @SageOfMirrors]

@JCog_ Sounds like PM wasn't designed for large-scale animations like this then.

[Dylan Ascencio @SageOfMirrors]

@JCog_ What's the cause of the lag? Does each individual piece animate by itself? I would have assumed the whole thing was an animation baked to a single mesh.

[Dylan Ascencio @SageOfMirrors]

@ocornut Maybe not the place to ask, but I'm curious - do you have any thoughts about whether the MVVM pattern is useful for Dear ImGui? I just put UI rendering functions directly in my "model" types, but for something I'm working on I'm wondering if a VM might be a better choice

Finished getting all the Celestial Weapon sigils in Final Fantasy X, and I have to admit most of them were fun. Little story with Rikku's was fun, Kimahri's was annoying but enjoyable, and Tidus' wasn't too bad.

Fuck lightning dodging. Couldn't have done it without save states.
