[ddnet-maps:master] 1 new commit

e2e8145 A Yun Gu - ddnet-maps

@fokkonaut well it's your job to fix the intricacies of the implementation of 256 players

07:11

Up to 64 we dont need to fake any behaviour afaik

[ddnet/ddnet] Pull request opened: #1844 Fix wrong flag color in scoreboard and spectator select menu (custom mods)

Since in DDrace every player is in team red, in order to show them in one scoreboard, the flag will always be blue in scoreboard and the spectator select menu, here is a simple fix

@Learath2 oki^^ :D

(It should be a simple enough fix to make sure you never send more then 63/64 for older clients)

[ddnet/ddnet] Pull request opened: #1845 Fix infectionZ gamemode seen as DDNet

InfectionZ's gametype is somehow infection, instead of infectionZ

@Learath2 let's try reenabling aio then and giving it to someone with windows?

@heinrich5991 now that I think about it, I think you need the ucs2 conversion added to aio, I didn't bother because it wasn't used for windows

09:44

Also needs a check to only enable that if stdout is a console :/

Does anyone know why the over-head emotes on DDNet fng2 servers are smoother and slower than on any other server? I would like to implement that as a feature

After I compiled DDNet via cmake my regular client changed HUD colors and bg to this shit

Image attachment

11:23

Something was overwritten?

11:23

Did you really change HUD colors in update?

if ur client was rly old

They are the defauls one ?

yes

11:34

why u compiled anyway

11:34

r u modifying something

think_bot

1

that looks like messed up defaults

@Ryozuki Yes, ofc

11:47

Im writing my own bot

11:47

to take some top times

11:47

@jao I can't see any setting for HUD colors in-game

settings > graphics > ui color

and whats setting for default one...

dont complain about colors or Learath2 gets a breakdown :c

what is the point of dummy_map tool?

14:29

nvm got it

@ChillerDragon I take full responsibility for breaking those

@Learath2 Any simple task I could try to make with DDNet source code?

15:42

To dive into it somehow

client or server?

15:42

what is ur end goal?

client

15:42

no goal

then start there

just want to know how it works

u wont succed in life if u have no goal

15:42

nothign that dives u

xdddddddddddd

and then, maybe, could make some mods for HUD, or useful features

then ur goal is knowledge i guess

HUD is the main goal I guess

programming xp?

yes

15:43

thats also

i highly recommend of thinking something you would really want to do and then just try it

15:44

what do you want to do with the hud?

First of all I want to understand at least somehow what each method here does

15:44

to comfortably navigate here

u d that by doing something else

15:45

its an side effect

so I could help with fixing bugs

15:45

and etc

15:45

yes

15:45

that's why Im asking about any simple tasks I could try to do

15:45

and also help with that

15:45

for first time

idk if u desire any improvements in the hud or if we have any open issues

15:46

but if its just for the learning make an pr in chillerbot-ux with a simpler scoreboard

15:46

its so messy imo

15:46

just remove parts

15:46

remove ping country flag

15:46

make it smaller

Ok, maybe I could try to make new entities that looks cool and randomize unhookable/hookable blocks

15:46

but its not so easy

that sounds like a harder start to me

to start with

look at ddnet issues

most of ddnet issues are server sided

i dont think we have some nice hud issues tho

no

15:47

there are also client issues

https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/issues/1820

No way to assign another bind for play/pause for demo viewer · Is...

Space bar is used for play/pause and there is no way to rebind it. Please give us a way to rebind this!

15:48

?

15:48

not so simple as learath say, ok

15:48

skip it

15:49

but I guess its about making a new setting in settings-hud menu

15:49

and access it from demo player

15:51

ok, I'll imagine my own task to start with

sorri for only bringing my stuff up but tthats the thing i can think of @Дядя Женя but it would be nice if u have a demo paused and select a different player in the view to update it without playing the demo again

15:52

https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/issues/1843

Change spectator view on paused demos · Issue #1843 · ddnet/ddnet

It would be nice if you can select a tee while a demo is paused.

Image attachment

15:56

what these buttons do btw

cut demos

15:57

left start right end

15:57

then right camera on the right

15:57

and it create a new demo

you mean without unpausing?

15:58

because changing view is working

but it doesnt update for me if i dont play the demo

16:00

imagine u want to pause a moment and then skip rtrhoigh all the tees and see where they are

k

16:01

where is the demo player?

idk maybe demo.cpp

16:01

i usually search for strings i see in the ui

16:01

and let a tool search the whole src code for it

Image attachment

16:07

n1

whats wrong

if really would be also cool if we had time untill unfreeze instead of shields on hud

16:30

some day I will do it.

16:30

May be few years later

16:30

maybe dozens

the ninja bar unfreeze timer in 0.7 is pretty cool

Open suggestion: Remove "long pain sound" from the game (shooting in freeze) and replace it with choosing randomly from some sounds with fat guy saying something like "Hey" "Hey, save me" "Save me sucker" etc

pls no

16:53

just keep the sounds how they are and let the server send the health sound instead

what do you mean "helath sound"

health pickup sound

Oh yeah

16:56

best sound in da world

16:56

Image attachment

16:56

Modified client to show milliseconds

useless

oh ok, not milliseconds

16:56

thats ticks

16:56

but anyway its victory

xd

16:57

gg

is there 60 ticks in second (edited)

16:57

or what

30 i think

Image attachment

17:02

why not

xd

dont we have a race timer already?

what do you mean

17:05

lol the timer works incorrect

??

it changes seconds on XX.6

this works fine

Image attachment

17:06

no

And now its not, wtf...

xdd

we can at most have 1 more digits worth of precision with the tickcounter the way it is

i think race servers use interpolation or something to get even more precision

Image attachment

17:18

Why its getting width of text with size 12

17:18

to calculate offset

do they? I thought they just added the extra digit

and then render it with size 10

@timakro do you?

?

17:19

fontsize is the fontsize no?

That code has been touched by a dozen people, who knows

xd

as I see it does what I said

17:20

So its offset calculation with 12 fontSize and render with 10 (edited)

17:20

funny

@Learath2 Yes, game servers run at 50 tps so 0.02 seconds is the most precise you get without interpolation

there is no sense adding one more digit

17:22

because it runs too fast (edited)

Setting the color of text

17:30

after its being rendered

wats the problem

17:30

its just resetting the color

17:30

use some logic please

lol

no lol

17:31

its not setting it anywhere before

17:32

so there is no need to reset

u never know so better to reset

^

daily complain #6

xDD

@Дядя Женя when u create a new variable the computer just allocates space in memory for it, its not guaranteed to be zero even if it usually is

17:34

so for reasons like this its better to reset before using

what new variable you're talking about

Image attachment

17:36

"its not setting it anywhere before"

if(m_pClient->m_Snap.m_pGameInfoObj->m_TimeLimit && Time <= 60 && (m_pClient->m_Snap.m_pGameInfoObj->m_WarmupTimer <= 0))
        {
            float Alpha = Time <= 10 && (2*time_get()/time_freq()) % 2 ? 0.5f : 1.0f;
            TextRender()->TextColor(1.0f, 0.25f, 0.25f, Alpha);
        }

any new variable

but ok, let's say default color is always 1111 and resetting is just fix for non-ddrace gamemodes (edited)

xdd

lol

TIS-100 is quite fun

@Learath2 im a zachtronics fan

poggers

got a real nice solution to the differential one in tis100

looks dope

Zeta is just too good at these

19:34

really cant beat his signal multiplexer

Where can I find server's best time

On the client or on the server?

client

When the client receives NETMSGTYPE_SV_RECORD if CGameClient::CGameInfo::m_RaceRecordTime is set it'll be the first integer in that message

20:45

you can see how we get m_ServerRecord in src/game/client/components/hud.cpp

thx

@Learath2 Still can't get it

Where exactly are you in the client code

Image attachment

20:56

So the server record stored in m_ServerRecord

20:57

but on DDnet servers its one of these: 1. CGameClient::CGameInfo::m_RaceRecordTime not set 2. m_ServerRecord is 0 3. m_ServerRecord is -2147483648

20:58

its hud.cpp

@Дядя Женя we set m_RaceRecordTime in the latest master, it was a bug

21:07

In other news, zeta is a beast, can't even come close on most challanges :/

im on latest master rn

21:07

problem exists

21:07

or what did you mean

21:11

almost pushed to master lol

pro

thx I have no permissions

21:11

I have fucking localized VS

21:11

I don't understand meaning of the buttons

@Learath2 zeta?

@Learath2 For now only on 95.172.92.151:8333 i got right m_DDRaceTime

21:44

which resets to 0 when I kill

21:44

on other servers (or maps?) I receive no message (edited)

@heinrich5991 how many zeta's do you know? I'm ofc talking about the great Zeta Hoernchen

I was wondering ^^

@heinrich5991 you really should try TIS-100, amazing game

21:46

@Дядя Женя only the lastest master servers will send you the correct RecordTime flag

21:47

you'll need to build your own server

lol

21:48

How does scoreboard on tab correctly show top-time

it sorts the times?

?

21:49

Image attachment

21:49

I mean this time

21:49

btw I got it right

Image attachment

I don't know, have you considered checking the code?

21:49

I do know where all these are. but I don't have the entire code in my brain

I'll look for scoreboard code

@Дядя Женя iirc the scoreboard code wrongly assumes m_RaceRecordTime

21:54

Just google chrome things

Image attachment

xd

@heinrich5991 it's a very weird computer architecture that you have to write assembly for, to do "simple" tasks

wtf 100.6%

21:59

xd

@archimede67 chrome is an overachiever

i don't get that many of cpu usage tho

why scoreboard "wrongly" always instantly show correct top time

22:01

and the same code in hud.cpp can't do that

It's correct only on ddnet servers, go on a ddrace server (if those exist anymore) and it won't work at all

22:06

ddrace servers used to send DDRaceTime in that message instead

22:07

@heinrich5991 I think we should drop some of this legacy baggage tbh, I don't think anyone sends the ddrace kind of Sv_Record anymore

is there any servers except ddnet and kog

22:07

lol

while you're at it, maybe also drop the old 64p info packet

@heinrich5991 I don't even remember an old 64p info packet

the one with "\xff…fstd"

22:09

the one where you have to re-request all the servers that might have the extension

oh, we still support that?

22:09

I wonder if there are any servers in the wild that still use that

I wouldn't bet on forks of ddnet to have updated

[ddnet/ddnet] Issue opened: #1846 Decimals dont work in /pause

^ I thought that that was a (useless) feature

23:53

And once i thought that it stops time

23:53

I mean pauses

23:54

The command should be renamed to /spectate or smth, just saying

Exported 274 message(s)
