tuponeSomeone know the difference between getNormal and get3DNormal ? Both seems 3D despite the comments in Obstacle.h18:25
blast007tupone: I didn't verify the accuracy of this, but this is what Qwen3.8 said about it: https://gist.github.com/blast007/a0eb8e2b23e8c0d2a38c99843101b7f918:55

blast007hehe... the comments in our code can be amusing... "// FIXME -- fugly beyond belief"19:11
tuponeI see for pyramid one work only with square base, the other with rectangulars but both are 3d19:23
blast007yeah, saw that too. I haven't noticed an issue with that in game before, though, so I'm not sure if I just never noticed or if it didn't have a real effect.19:24
blast007Not something we can fix/change in 2.4 though, since this is all client-side.19:25
tuponeI don't remember if the bullet trajectory is sent on the wire or it is recomputed on clients19:28
tuponeIf is sent we could change in theory. But maybe we don't have non-square pyramids19:28
tuponedo you pay for qwen or is just local ?19:29
blast007local20:08
tuponenvidia ? 20:10
tuponeor radeon ?20:10
tuponeIt seems I already asked but I forgot20:11
blast007radeon, specifically a Framework Desktop with the Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395 (128GB unified memory)20:12
blast007I'm pretty sure we calculate shot trajectory for stuff client-side.20:16
blast007For GM it might be different.20:16
tuponeNow only the memory price is 2000 $ :(20:26
tuponeI remember in some place that we collect segments for the shots20:28
blast007yeah... when I bought it originally, it was $2124, and now the same system would be $354820:35
blast007they've also got a newer version of the system lauching soon that will have some minimal speed boosts (it's using the 400 series instead of the 300 series), but will also offer up to 192GB of memory. I imagine that will be near the $5000 price point...20:49
tuponesoldered memory are so cheaper ?21:14
blast007Dunno. The original price might have already been somewhat increased because that was around the time of the tariff nonsense.21:18
tuponeI read that we need 3 years for the memory to reach a normal price21:24
blast007yeah, I'm glad I bought this system when I did22:08
