Sent them to the UI artist to cut up to add to the Lobby Loading screens. They are static images for now, we will in a future patch, make the lobby screens more dynamic and animated.

The team worked with an animation programmer in the UK, who helped identify some animation asset errors\u2026 now fixed!

Die Auswirkungen der gro\u00dfen Fusion beginnen ebenfalls nachzulassen; es gibt noch viel mehr Arbeit in diesem Bereich zu tun, aber wir beginnen, das Licht am Ende des Tunnels zu sehen. Im Folgenden finden Sie die Details der in der vergangenen Woche durchgef\u00fchrten Arbeiten.\n\nDie gro\u00dfe Fusion\nDie Staging-Fusion zu Game-Dev (von main-1.2.0 Staging) begann Anfang dieser Woche, und es werden gemeinsame Anstrengungen unternommen, um Konflikte zu l\u00f6sen, die das automatisierte Integrationssystem findet, sobald sie auftreten. Konflikte gehen selten l\u00e4nger als eine Stunde, bevor jemand im ATX den Konflikt selbst anspricht oder einen Entwickler dazu auffordert. Wir l\u00f6sen Konflikte fast rund um die Uhr mit Leuten in Austin, die die Wochenenden abdecken, und Entwickler im britischen Studio, die manuelle Konfliktl\u00f6sung abdecken, w\u00e4hrend das ATX-Team schl\u00e4ft, und so weiter. Das hei\u00dft, zum Zeitpunkt des Schreibens sind wir bei 5860 nicht fusionierten CLs, von den 7718, mit denen wir am Mittwoch begonnen haben. Es werden Fortschritte erzielt, aber wenn wir den gleichen Satz beibehalten, werden wir erst in 6 oder 7 Tagen fertig sein. Sobald die Zusammenf\u00fchrung abgeschlossen ist, und dann wird Zeit damit verbracht, einen Code Review durchzuf\u00fchren und Game-dev stabil zu machen. Das w\u00e4ren insgesamt etwa 3 Wochen! Wir werden einen unserer Ingenieure hier am Wochenende einen manuellen Merge-Review durchf\u00fchren lassen und einen Code Review w\u00e4hrend der Woche erm\u00f6glichen, mit einem Cutoff vom n\u00e4chsten Freitag 9\/4. Das bedeutet, dass wir am n\u00e4chsten Freitag mit der Arbeit beginnen k\u00f6nnen, FPS in Game-dev ab Montag 9\/7 zum Laufen zu bringen.\n\nTodd Papy besucht das Team in Austin diese Woche und setzt die Bem\u00fchungen f\u00fcr die Entwickler in allen CIG- und F42-Studios von hier aus fort. Er f\u00e4hrt n\u00e4chste Woche zur n\u00e4chsten Station seiner Welttournee, zur\u00fcck nach Santa Monica. Es war gro\u00dfartig, ihn hier in Austin zu haben, um sich mit den Designern des Sozialmoduls und dem FPS QA-Team zu synchronisieren.\n\nDas QA-Team in Austin war mit den PTU-Releases des Sozialmoduls diese Woche weitgehend ausgebucht, aber es gelang ihnen, einige neu implementierte Funktionen f\u00fcr Star Marine zu testen. Das kurze Gameplay-Video auf dem Beitrag zeigt einen guten Querschnitt durch die neuen Features; das verbesserte Cover-Animationssystem in Aktion, die neue gegnerische Granatenanzeige, die pers\u00f6nliche Barrikade vfx und eine gl\u00fcckliche Explosion. Querschl\u00e4ger sind ein sehr ernstes Sicherheitsrisiko, Leute. \u00dcberpr\u00fcft euer Feuer!\n\nDie Gameplay-Ingenieure von Illfonic arbeiten an dem objektiv basierten Spielmodus, der die Team Elimination ersetzen wird. Die F42-Designer gaben es Anfang dieser Woche an sie weiter, also erstellten sie die Erfassungs- und Bewertungseinheiten f\u00fcr die Spielregeln, bis zu einem Punkt, an dem sie die Funktionalit\u00e4t der Systeme heute testen konnten. Wir werden in der Lage sein, den Playtest dieser \u00c4nderungen schnell zu aktivieren, sobald die Gamedev-Fusion abgeschlossen ist und die Builds stabil sind.\n\nAudio\nLetzte Woche erw\u00e4hnte ich, dass das Foundry 42-Audioteam eine Aufnahmesitzung mit vielen verschiedenen Schusswaffen f\u00fcr den Einsatz in Umweltaudio durchgef\u00fchrt hat. Sie haben ein Video f\u00fcr uns gedreht, und es macht eine gro\u00dfartige Arbeit, die Waffenger\u00e4usche zu veranschaulichen und die Art und Weise, wie man sie aus der Ferne und in verschiedenen Umgebungen wahrnehmen kann. Geschlossene Flure zum Beispiel klingen anders als weite offene Galerier\u00e4ume. Ich hoffe, dass ich das n\u00e4chste Woche mit dir teilen kann.\n\nGameplay\nDie \u00c4nderungen im Gameplay wurden diese Woche wieder eingeschr\u00e4nkt, was sowohl auf die Arbeit an der Fusion als auch auf die Tatsache zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren ist, dass wir mit den bisherigen Fortschritten sehr zufrieden sind. Das Team arbeitete an der Zusammenf\u00fchrung der Streams und der L\u00f6sung von Fusionskonflikten (laufend) und dann an der allgemeinen Star Marine Bug Triage. F\u00fcr den neuen Spielmodus, der jetzt entwickelt wird, haben wir die Arbeit an der Funktionalit\u00e4t von Capture-Objekten und Spawn-Regeln abgeschlossen, und das Scoring-System ist nun bereit f\u00fcr den Test.\n\nUI\nDas UI-Team besucht derzeit das britische Studio f\u00fcr einen globalen UI-Gipfel und Synchronisation, der einen \u00dcberblick \u00fcber die laufenden Arbeiten f\u00fcr Star Marine und das Persistent Universe enth\u00e4lt. Erwarten Sie, dass Sie n\u00e4chste Woche von den Ergebnissen dieses Gipfels erfahren!\n\nKunst\nDie Arbeiten an der Devastator Schrotflinte sind abgeschlossen, wie du auf den Bildern und dem beigef\u00fcgten Video sehen kannst! Diese Arbeit ist auf Eis gelegt und kann nach Abschluss der Zusammenf\u00fchrung integriert werden. K\u00fcnstler konzentrieren sich nun auf die Arclight Material-\/Decal-Revisionen, die Sie in den Screenshots (sauber und schmutzig) in diesem Beitrag sehen k\u00f6nnen. K\u00fcnstler arbeiteten auch daran, Linienkunst f\u00fcr die Helminnenausstattung f\u00fcr das HUD zu bekommen, das bis n\u00e4chste Woche fortgesetzt wird. Die Charaktergrafiken f\u00fcr die Ladebildschirme der Lobby-Oberfl\u00e4che sind fertig und werden zur Erweiterung der Benutzeroberfl\u00e4che freigegeben. Schickte sie an den UI-K\u00fcnstler, um sie auszuschneiden und den Bildschirmen zum Laden der Lobby hinzuzuf\u00fcgen. Es handelt sich vorerst um statische Bilder, wir werden in einem zuk\u00fcnftigen Patch die Bildschirme der Lobby dynamischer und animierter gestalten. Im Moment m\u00f6chten wir, dass die Spieler wissen, wie ihre Optionen aussehen. Und wie du sehen kannst, wollten wir ihnen etwas Pers\u00f6nlichkeit verleihen.\n\nAnimation\nDiese Woche beendete das Animationsteam den ersten Durchgang f\u00fcr alle Animationen f\u00fcr Hocken-Juke-Schritte. Das Team arbeitete mit einem Animationsprogrammierer in Gro\u00dfbritannien zusammen, der half, einige Fehler bei der Animation von Assets zu identifizieren.... jetzt behoben! Wir haben auch den rechten Waffenknochen neu gebacken, um die Waffenausrichtung in der Hand zu fixieren und alle gelagerten\/Pistolenakten wieder exportiert. Es gibt nicht viele Blocker auf der Animationsseite - nur ein Bedarf an mehr Zeit zum Implementieren, Testen und Reparieren. Basisbewegungswaffen-Sets sind fertig, obwohl sie gr\u00fcndliche Tests und eine weitere Runde der Fehlerbehebung erfordern. Start\/Stop\/Jukes First Pass Implementierungen sind in Bearbeitung, ben\u00f6tigen aber immer noch Code-Support und Tuning. Verletzte Lokomotionssets sind derzeit in Arbeit, ebenso wie Abdeckung, Verkleidung und Rutschen. Todesanimationen, Lappenaufr\u00e4umung und unbewaffnete Fortbewegungs-Sets sind ebenfalls in Arbeit. Die Arbeiten an EVA (Zero-G) werden beginnen, sobald diese abgeschlossen sind. Andere laufende Aufgaben sind die Mocap-Bereinigung f\u00fcr Spieler-Cover-Animationen, die Arbeit an den Pistolenmagazin-Check-Animationen, die Reparatur aller Animationen zur Behebung des Lokomotionslocators und die Bearbeitung von Mocap-Daten f\u00fcr den schnellen Gang, den langsamen Lauf und die Hocken.","zh_CN":"Greetings Citizens,\nThis week\u2019s Star Marine update is attached; we\u2019re making good progress with the animation work needed to get the first release of the module finished, but as always it\u2019s going to take time to make sure we\u2019re doing it right.
