cant compile on Windows

15:42

made a post here https://forum.ddnet.tw/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5765&p=68316#p68316

Which version are you compiling?

15:43

we do provide a FindCrypt.cmake which you seem to be missing

15:43

Also you can't use bash to generate MSYS Makefiles

15:44

Well you can but it's finding g++ which is an issue

15:44

So you first need to decide whether you want to compile with MinGW and gcc or VS and MSVC

15:45

I don't know how to compile in VS at all so you'll have to ask someone else, but I think I can figure out how to get it to compile on the command prompt with msvc

Did you initialize the submodules?

15:50

in ddnet-libs?

shouldn't be necessary for FindCrypto.cmake to be there, but yeah that'd also help for future problems

Hmm okay. Just noticed that it did not find any deps

yeah, i did git submodules update

16:00

well, starting from a fresh clone works

16:00

so i guess sth went wrong in my fork

16:02

i'll just clean everything then

It does not use the modules in the cmake directory

Also you can't use bash to generate MSYS Makefiles

Indeed, any idea why? It says syntax error with make, but it works with MinGW makefiles

Did you modify this block in your fork:

https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/blob/2649fb52342bf8772fd7963ff2e3de301492176c/CMakeLists.txt#L48-L52

ddnet/ddnet

DDraceNetwork, a cooperative racing mod of Teeworlds - ddnet/ddnet

16:03

?

no, wasn't marked as modified by git status (edited)

16:10

i just hard resetted things, and it worked

Can you check the value of CMAKE_MODULE_PATH in your CMakeCache.txt?

16:10

Ah okay :)

@Chairn do you have msys2?

not really

ah you got it working

18:41

I'm guessing with VS

yup

18:41

no

18:41

got rid of it

18:41

stayed with a fresh install of mingw

18:41

+ bash that is installed with git

interesting combination, surprised that it all worked out

well, there are some weird things when i build, but it does build

msys2 with mingw cmake is the combination I got working

like i got thousands of warning for glew

18:42

+ some unrecognized flag for ddnet files

18:42

but it does build so, i don't really care

Can the server freely change the view position of a client?

no

19:31

position is always on the tee

even in spec?

19:32

i tried to force CPlayer::m_ViewPos but without any success

u can tp the tee places

19:33

obviously

you can do some faketee stuff

@Chairn you can set the viewpos only if spectatorinfo is on

20:14

so while setting viewpos you need to send spectatorinfo from snap

from server to client or from client to server?

server to client, its the snap from CPlayer

20:15

so if (var) m_ViewPos = and then in the snap just a || var for the spectatorinfo part

20:16

And of course in the spectatorinfo force the spectatorID that gets sent to -1 (freeview) if var == true

ok, thx

np

Well, i can force to go spec, but i still can't figure out why viewpos is not updated

20:41

i guess i'll need client modification as well

no

20:46

of course you dont.

20:46

You need to check all places where m_ViewPos gets set. Maybe just try adding a new variable m_ViewPosFromYourMod (xd) and then set that, in the spectatorinfo then send this variable if var == true

ahah, found

:)

should have not used spec_freeview as the client ignores it

?

well, it ignores the pos if specid is freeview, so i just put the client id instead and it worked

that shouldnt be the way to go

20:48

are you on 0.7 or 0.6

0.6

then it should be enough tho, mh

well, not working perfectly everytime

the problem is to find the order in which every function is called

as i said, just use a new variable

already done, still the viewpos is not always exactly like i want, there seems to have some movement around the target, i don't know why

do you want to set it to view a tee, or a random position?

21:02

if you want it to be on a tee, then of course send the real client id of the tee (like in /pause). otherwise just set the position to -1, if the viewpos is not on a tee

random position

does anyone here know the story behind multiple front/tele layers and so on in maps?

21:30

im kinda confused by how that is a thing

i think u can edit them in with a custom client

21:30

multiple front/tele layers sounds useful

21:30

should be implemented into ddnet imo

pls no

pls yes

by what i saw they appear to be empty, at least in the map edito

21:31

r

this makes needlessly complicated

21:32

with more stuff stacking

u could do cool things tho

21:32

i think

thats already what the front layer is for

u could make a hookthru telegun

21:33

:o

21:33

idk why hookthrough is in the front layer

21:34

very confusing to new mappers

dang, i made it work with ddnet client, but doesn't work with tw client...

ofc theres the "shortcut for hookthru" but i still think it places in front iirc

21:34

@Chairn made what

21:35

why are there two chairns in this srv lol

where you see 2?

@Deleted User @Chairn

i probably connected once with web browser

oh

[ddnet/ddnet] Pull request opened: #2170 Added showtotele and showtotelecp chat commands

This adds 2 new chat commands: /showtotele and /showtotelecp based on their rcon counterpart totele and totelecp. The commands pause the player and move his view to the output of the given tele number. Unfortunately, it does not work with standard tw client, unless /spec is allowed and the player is already in /spec. So maybe it should be client side then... (wanted it server side so that everyone could use it, but could not make it work with tw client...)
