DEV STREAM ROUND-UP: 22ND FEBRUARY 2016

(Faraleth) #1

Remember, as always, unless specifically stated as confirmed, please take everything with a grain of salt.

Were you aiming to find out something else? Was there something that you’re turtley dying to ask? Check out the FAQ here: http://forums.dirtybomb.nexon.net/discussion/17544/dev-nexon-stream-faq

General:

  • Reminder: The next update is coming this week!
  • The next update will have a heavy focus on ranked play and a selection of bug fixes.
  • They are transferring the current front-end system from Coherent UI to Coherent GT.
  • Coherent UI is a browser-based UI system. Coherent GT is a lighter and faster version of a similar system, designed for use in Unreal Engine PC, PS4 and Xbox One games. This should cause improved performance in menus when implemented.
  • For more information on this, read about Coherent UI and Coherent GT here: http://coherent-labs.com/
  • While there is no drafting system coming in the next update, Smooth has drawn up some drafts as to how the system will work.

Possible Changes/Updates:

  • The bug which occasionally causes players to be unable to shoot, or continuously shoot is fixed in the next update.
  • The bug where the player falls below the map in Dome should be fixed in the next update. shoe. told me not to quote him on this, so I did. #TR-8R
  • Server issues such as warping and stutter are known and being looked into. (This was specifically mentioned in regards to the EU server issues recently on the forums.)
  • There are no ‘planned’ changes to Fletcher right now, however he is being kept an eye on in regards to performance since the machine-pistol changes.
  • Dockyard and Gallery are currently being tweaked and arted up, based on feedback from the map test weekend.

Extra Info:

  • Guest: Barroman [Core-Tech Programmer]
  • Barroman sounds a lot like Phoenix. He even said a few Phoenix quotes!
  • This weekend Barroman and 2 other Splash Damage folks ran a half-marathon each for Special Effect: http://www.specialeffect.org.uk/

Thank you for another stream round-up, Faraleth! :slight_smile:

That’s the wrong date in the title, though.

So the hud should be updated to something more optimized, which should increase our frame rate?

Just making sure

Makes me happy! :slight_smile:

After all the research I did on Coherent UI, the issues involved with it and the amount of work required to get it functioning smoothly in regards to low latency, it looked like it was a pretty big PITA. So the move to Coherent GT will hopefully be a solid move assuming they use the provided tools to stay on top of performance issues. This probably won’t solve low FPS issues that some players have but it might solve FPS inconsistency issues and stutters some players have.

Thanks for the round up !

Finally, let’s hope they are going to do something logical with this. I’ve been mentioning server issues for more than 6 months in my posts here…

(Verticules) #7

What do the ui changes mean for my custom hud?

(watsyurdeal) #8

That’s…actually a good point…am I going to have to reprogram my hud? D:

(neverplayseriou) #9

He even a few quotes? @Faraleth :stuck_out_tongue:

(solace_) #10

no mention of thunder or sparks… sighs

Same here, I try not to post about it anymore as to not sound like a broken mp3 player.

Thanks Faraleth, Always a pleasure to read these after a long days toil.

Since they explicitly say Front end, it should not affect the ingame hud at all.

The in-game hud is done through CoherentUI and would probably get swapped too. I’d wager they have porting tools going from one to the other as it would be pretty weird to not do it all at one time.

IIRC they were using 2 different tools for the front end and the ingame UI. Hence why you had such gems like not option to bind Vsays in the FE or no crosshair color ingame.

(MilkyBear) #15

I just hope more people will play ranked after this.

(Sinee) #16

Got curious. Played ranked. It was ass and my team was a potato. Never again. :#

(Ardez1) #17

The patch hasn’t actually dropped yet… this is just an overview of the stream for people who missed it… not patch notes… Maybe wait for the patch to hit and see what the changes are? …

(BerylRdm) #18

Wait… People can actually do that? :slight_smile:

(FalC_16) #19

sorry, what is coherent UI or coherent GT? And how that enhances competitive? thx ^^

I know it hasn’t but wow I don’t know if I could put my cute ass self through that torture again. A lot of people have been talking about comp lately, plus those trinkets look cute but oh my lawd.

Maybe you could be on my team and go down with the ship so I at least have some company next time. :tongue:
