The important part is that the skins would have to be loaded dynamically in the background instead of loading all of them like right now

06:50

right now having hundreds or thousands of skins fills up your RAM

and size/amount limit, like with demos and some way of stopping people making 9000 gigantic skins and spamming them

the skins should be from skin db, and we have mods for that

Ok good

so I'd accept a PR to download them from within the client

07:10

just show the default skin until it's downloaded, don't hang the main threads waiting for download

hmm if the client downloaded the skins from DB couldn't it also download Creator and skinpack data so instead of searching by skinname you could search by Creator and skinpack too

sure

Neat!

Guys

07:37

All the haxx client is way better than ddnet client

?

07:37

lel xD

hell no

07:49

Too many useless thing

07:49

And too little useful stuff

wait a minute, isn't it hack client? Ban @ezy and remove all his points banhammer

(edited)

2

08:03

And by minute I mean 14 of them

lol

@Mokumoku it's not a hack client, so no need to banhammer Ezy :) And yea, you are totally right, it has got loads and loads of useless stuff, like the exact same skindownloader that deen described earlier :D

Skinstealer*

if you consider downloading from ddnet's database "stealing"..

I meant ath's skinstealer

Was mostly joke, tho it has some hacks

@jao what's that?

11:41

@Mokumoku oh does it? didn't know about that... like what for example? o.O

A tool that downloads skins from other players that are on your sever

that sounds like a skin downloader

@jao that's not possible, how would you do that?

One hack is balance boy

the players would have to send it over the gameserver or p2p

Not*

11:42

Bot*

Idk how it works, but some client has it, maybe it wasn't ath

Baumalein?

Oh and ath has this thing where you hammer someone to get his skin on your tee xd

lol no xd now THAT was baumalein

@jao can we get that for ddnet?

But no download just changes it

11:46

Probably;

its rly hard to copy colors on your own

Ye why not, pretty useful feature

Nah

Guys

12:00

Ath is just better

1

12:00

If u dont like useless things then dont fuck around with em

12:00

But so many things that ddnet doesnt have that are cool

12:02

Even small things like when u spec someone it moves to the player smoothly makes it so much better

dude what are you discussing about? just let people use whatever they prefer and do so yourself

Im saying that ath is better than ddnet

12:04

Ofc they have to decide themselves

It's just your opinion, and it's wrong

how can an opinion be wrong or right tho?

xD

let's keep ddnet as purely only practical features, no autohammerskinchanger

It's so funny to read you

12:14

Use whatever you want, just don't cry if you will be banned while using hacks

Am I wrong?

I mean, the whole discussion

12:14

about clients

12:14

it's funny

....

@Savander totally agree with you

12:14

it's rediculous

@Mokumoku stop that

Ok

12:21

Sorry

12:23

@Savander yes about bans yes, would be better if just no-one used them

@Mokumoku so ath doesnt have the hammer feature and we talked about this already. and why would u dislike a client that has autohammerskinchanger. Obviously if ddnet had this function any normal person would just keep their fingers from it. Also It isnt even a bot or some other script which u can cheat stuff with

I ment please don't add 900000 useless features to dd

Stuff like the opengl update isn't really useful for players either

Ofc

why?

12:36

it makes rendering faster

12:37

-> less resources used, runs on worse computers

if they've got opengl 3.3 support, that is :D

yes

12:38

I don't know the stats on that

12:39

quick googling suggests that nvidia supports it with its drivers since 2010

12:39

from the first impression it sounds likely that everyone has OGL 3.3

Oh I thought it's for better fps while zooming out far

that's a side effect of doing things faster ^^

hum, I might have found something where a lot of performance is being wasted... all the stuff that mem_alloc and mem_free does in addition to what their main purpose is makes them be more then two to three times slower than a simple malloc and free. I'm not sure if it would make change fps-wise, but considering that they are called about 30 times per second when ingame, it's definitely more than just a negligible micro-optimization.

think mem_alloc and mem_free were used to keep control over the way memory is allocated, possibru to keep it less fragmented

as far as I can see it's just collecting stats about how much memory is being allocated from where in the code for debugging purposes. It's also performing integrity checks and asserts if something is wrong, so that you can find possible memory errors

16:17

oh and of course you can use it to find memory leaks, at least if every allocation in the code is done using mem_alloc

I don't think we have code there to track leaks do we?

the code from vanilla remembers what has been allocated and from where, so if you read all these information after client shutdown, there should be no allocations left (except for a few that are hard to get rid of)

16:24

the function mem_debug_dump writes everything that is currently allocated to a file 'memory.txt'

do i have to open ports so that ddnetserver shows on internet

usually yes, if it tell you to

18:00

I guess I don't have to tell you about setting sv_register 1, do I?

i set it to 1

18:01

hmm i try to open port

18:01

it doesnt show

did it say "server registered" in the console tho?

You have to forward port, and also be sure that your ISP allows you to use that port

ah

yep, as the message says :D

do i have to fear hackers if i open that port?

<Henningstone> well if you are going to host a teeworlds server you have to fear everything nowadays :D

i think, if teeworlds server has
