@trml do you have a moment?

yes

when you added extrainfo, you made a bit of velY signify that extrainfo is being used right?

yes, at that time I mostly thought about a way to separate extrainfo projectiles from regular projectiles. and on vanilla projectiles that sign would never be set since their velocity is normalized (to somthing like < 100 after writing to the object)

00:16

regular=vanilla

2 questions, 1) why did you need an IsDDNet check on the client side if you already had a bit signifying extrainfo

that was because I wasn't sure if it would brake any mods at the time, so I initially added it that way just in case. hypothetically, a mod could use projectiles with a high modified speed, so that they would accidentally count as extrainfo

In that case 2) why does it break a mod like bw to remove the check? are they sending projectiles that are too fast?

but thinking about it I should have used a higher bit. with the 9th bit that is around 500, or 5 times vanilla projectile speed (not taking into account tunings). with a higher bit it could potentially had been compatible with nearly all (future) mods

00:20

yes

00:21

I didnt notice it while playing there, but it seems likely

well the projectiles in question aren't even moving

oh, that's odd

00:33

then abs(pProj->m_VelY) should be 0, so the check should return false, I think

@trml yeah they are accidentally sending m_Pos.x*100.0f instead

oh

so that was the problem?

yep, makes some projectiles disappear

Turns out this is right but with a catch, faster than vanilla projectiles get messed up. @trml would you like to move the extrainfo bit up higher while at it?

80% of the #records are from Ravillion, you could not display ranks from that map

that would be unfair

@sorgaxD is the map just popular and unfaily or is it too easy for insane?

07:48

Binary has more finishes and is also Insane btw

I don't know because i don't play Binary or Ravillion, but at least for me, its annoying to see ravillion ravillion ravillion ravillion ravillion. At this point no one cares about who finish that map unless it's a rank 1

you can only speak for yourself

i know

@sorgaxD My solution for stuff like this is to use feed: https://ddnet.tw/status/records/feed/ and have a newsboat rule: ignore-article "https://ddnet.tw/status/records/feed/" "title =~ \"Finish on [Insane] Ravillion\" or title =~ \"Team finish on [Insane] Ravillion\"" (edited)

and mute the #records channel in discord instead

well, thanks

Great, so if I use \ then either Discord displays the text wrong or IRC does...

wym?

If I write a single \ on Discord it instead escapes the next character. So I need \, but then it shows two backslashes on IRC

ah yeah xd
