[ddnet/ddnet] Issue closed: #518 Spectators in scoreboard--tee, clan, country flag, and ping

Road to zero issues

Wow looks like u got holidays or smth?

lecture-free time in uni probably?

new schedule, I'm so busy I added a day where I marathon code ddnet stuff

having a clantag with special characters makes u not have same amount of visible characters right?

21:10

why not make it the same

[quakenet] <deen> because I guess we just count the number of bytes used

21:25

[quakenet] <deen> and "special characters" probably need more bytes in utf8

21:25

[quakenet] <deen> compared to ascii

yes

21:26

and its a problem if we could only count "visual" characters for clan length

21:26

and maybe als name length?

[quakenet] <deen> Yes, that's a problem, then we need to change the protocol

21:26

[quakenet] <deen> and old clients won't work

ah :/

[quakenet] <deen> and people would have huge names

21:26

[quakenet] <deen> so you'd still need a limit for bytes, albeit larger

also, it's usually a good thing to limit these kinds of things by storage size

[quakenet] <deen> But just limiting by storage size is not enough, see WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

21:27

[quakenet] <deen> which doesn't even fit into the field

not sure if that one is such a big problem – but okay...

[quakenet] <deen> since we can render the text to determine length, maybe an idea would be fixed storage size and additionally limit rendering length, but then that's harder to predict for players

[quakenet] <deen> but for ddnet i would propose not changing it

is there any way to increase the distance of showing others? (/showothers)

/showall or sth?
