Why is every streamer set to "Verified accounts only" today?
Everyone i follow and everyone i look up are ALL set to "verified accounts only" Did something happen today? Why is everyone set to that?

Edit: best i can figure is "Twitch is bugged" i thought maybe something happened. Some commenters have assumed im unverified (not sure why). i'll take the bug up with twitch support, since it doesnt seem to be a global thing.

okay suddenly door dash is saying ALDI is "too far away" but it never was too far away to order. What do i do? i cant order groceries. Has something happened to the stores?

Sometimes cartoons or characters will get drawn differently from different angles, this can really make transferring it into 3D difficult. When planning for a 3D character its good to get some basics down with the drawing if you do one.

You start with your side profile preferably (you can start with any axis as long as its flat. This method is called "projection" its an old technique for creating schematics for 3D drawing design. This can work for any object or thing or face, i just happen to be using a head as an example.

----
You want to draw vertical and horizontal lines from your first drawing from the important extremes of each shape, feel free to colour code each part so you can see it better, for this example i kept the colous locked to each axis.

You can include overlapping shapes edges if you like but they will likely not matter as much.

Next draw in one of the axis this will be the 90 degree rotation of the previous image as if you rolled it in that direction, you will have to make a choice on the depth of things, feel free to adjust things on both images if it doesnt look right in this drawing, but remember to redraw the lines for the parts you change, so things line up on the last axis.

after that copy the new drawing and rotate it 90 degrees and slide it over anywhere. it wont line up with the last drawing because its only a temporary guide so you can create the other angle.

now project new edge guide lines from the rotated drawing through your empty axis of guide lines (pink)

if you are colour coding for things, like eyes ears and nose etc, this will look less confusing.

You now have boxes for all your shapes of the face, and can line them up, some may need to completely change depending on what you have drawn, but the guide lines provide some scale guide for when its put into 3D and will properly translate, so it'll look the same in 3D as it looks 2D

Now without your guide lines for the projection you can apply a grid i recommend starting with the biggest shape as a starting point for the grid.

Then you divide it more and more till you're comfortable with everything being included.

This grid is representative of the grid you'll make in Dreams so that you can line things up, each grid section gives you more detailed positions to work from, so as you line stuff up, you'll focus on small segments of the build. you can do this to also transfer drawing into Dreams using paintings.
This image is an example of your focus on the position as you work, this example is the top of the eyes.

Using your grid in Dreams you can now start to place the shapes to get them to look roughly the same. Dont be afraid of tweaking the 3D version in spite of your drawings. In the end the 2D was just a guide to get everything looking right from your sketch.

Hopefully that explains a simple transfer method for 2D to 3D objects you cant directly import your images to.

How did they program the decision trees in fighting games like Street fighter, and Dragon ball Budakai, i understand very little about how they made the CPU react and choose to attack or defend.

Is there any diagrams of how the logic works?
Like when it decides to move around, verses attacking or blocking/dodging an attack.

It would be nice to learn how they programmed it for Arcade machines and how something like the 3D DBZ games build on that.
2D Mortal combat and Streetfighter never had to worry about going into and out of the screen, but i fee like some of the oldest games were just a bunch of animations being randomly chosen to a timer. Or i could be wrong, because thats a guess.

I would love some visuals on how they planned out the computers brains for them.

I was trying to program the logic for an enemy in a 3D, one on one, fighting game, but trying to look up the old term for game AI, just floods the results with crappy gen AI stuff, like "how to make a game with AI" type stuff, which muddies my search for learning how people used to program the decisions made by the NPC's when fighting and reacting to the player.

Is there some term i can look up that wont get me flooded out by the new meaning of ai in games?

Is there any resources with how the logic trees were built for old fighting games?
It would be handy to see a diagram of the computers brains for the different style of fighting games, so i can figure out how to program my ones, i just need to know how to chooses to move between movement and attack actions, what kind of triggers from the player i need to give it, and how to adjust the difficulty.

One though i have was to just have a state machine with all the actions in it, and just play a random one each time a timer went off, but i dont think it was that simple in the older logic. Especially since it need to mover with the player, and choose to defend or attack.

Im just struggling with how to set it up without it getting over complicated, and having some visual layouts for the CPU decision trees might help.

Anything to do with handling 3D and 2D fighting games would help a lot.

I cant tell if theres a difference between a spear and a trident?
Does a Trident do something different ? or is it just a different shape spear/pike?

So far i've been to most of the Fragment of power locations according to a video from 1 year ago and zero of the locations so far have a chest for me.
Did something change in the last year? and fragments cant be found in chests around the Unnamed city any more?

Is there some sort of condition for them to show up, that ive forgotten?
Or is there something weird with their spawning in single player?

[EDIT]
Answer: when the server starts, every 15-30 minutes after you load into the game there’s a chance that chests can spawn. But the spawning is RNG so they may not even spawn after allotted time. So in solo play that timer starts when you log into the world,

So no matter where i look, everwhere says that Gouging is bleed that works of the undead.

Does it just work on undead?
If it works on everything is it just a better bleed?
Is there anything else thats different apart from "bleed effects undead" ?

According to the Map there should be a "dictionary" on the roof im on behind the shrine, but i've scoured all of the roof and floor around near the shrine and i cant find squat. Has the location of this changed and the interactive map hasnt updated? Or bugged? or am i blind?

[SOLVED] See where i am in the screenshot? it off the right side, Its a tiny non standard chest that looks like decoration. On a tiny ledge.

So im setting up a solo game, and there are settings for "Siptah" for a Maelstrom.

Do these settings matter if you dont have the DLC ?

[EDIT] Oh what the hell i just saw the PIN Reddit was not displaying that when i opened it = ,=

Ive been going through the documents for installing FiveM, but i cant find anywhere then mentions if i have to have Legacy or Enhanced GTA V installed, Rockstar says if i want to use either i need to install both versions, but FiveM doesnt mention if it prefers a version over the other.

Do i have to install Legacy and Enhanced for different FiveM servers?
Does FiveM only support Legacy?
If i install GTAV Enhanced, will FiveM still load as Legacy?
Do servers load their own version even if i dont have the one they're using installed?

All of those questions are completely useless if FiveM only supports Legacy.
Not been able to find any answers that werent 5 years old, and things could have changed by now.

I was trying to remember how to make stuff react to specific frequencies and going through my old stuff i finally found it, obviously its a bit too much of a constant beat so its not really showing off much. But things like vocals will do more. This is the best i could find for an example, for some reason finding voice lines was amazingly difficult.

Back when i had access to the closed beta of Dreams i was experimenting with Airbrushing and figuring out how stuff behaved, this is one of the distractions i had saved from back then.

There was a special frog imp released when Dreams released for all the beta players if i remember correctly.

It has eyes as part of its accessory so you can get double eyes, im yet to find a combo with the frog skin and a Cyclops eye
