DDraceNetwork - developer

can we please change it back from type to server pls it looks so bad

00:05

or make it something like Maps

00:05

Novice Maps

00:05

Brutal Maps

or "difficulty"

00:08

idk if its good to mix in fng/zcatch/etc with the ddnet tab too u know

00:10

u could have all of that in a "pvp" tab

@heinrich5991 idk how to implement that in not a nice way without tons of refactoring work The only thing I been thinking about is to declare some class X {int Value; bool WasModified;} Define implicit cast to/from int for this X type Not sure if it is possible and how hard it will impact the perfomance cuse never tried it in c++

[ddnet/ddnet] Issue opened: #2780 MacOs version doesn't work since the recent update.

As reported on discord by -insert weird letters-

ä̵́̋s̴̅͑d̷̒͐ģ̵͛g̶̋͑ Today at 02:20 Hey guys I need help, Whenever I open DDnet on steam it says its launching for a fews seconds and it dissappears or it dosent > launch. Ive tried restarting my computer, updating steam and reinstalling the game. Any Ideas? Im on a MacOs

@Learath2 I guess I should have told you to test without ffmpeg installed locally

@deen I should have checked with otool...

Me too

07:21

I totally forgot about that

@heinrich5991 I guess the best way would be to have a function in CConfig that we always use to set config vars

I think this was my worst release in a while, broke so many things

07:58

I guess we can't run the DDNet executable on the GitHub CI thingie?

On which platform?

All

07:59

My guess is that we don't have a display and SDL2 has no easy way of just telling it to software render to /dev/null

Oh, I see what you meant, we can run it with a framebuffer probably

Yeah, that would be nice

problem is, what do we look for?

something like ./DDNet quit would be enough to test for proper linking

I think just having xvfb on linux would work

Why not write a test that tried to connect to a certain game server and the you will see not only linking issues but it will also check the basic features of the client? (edited)

points query feels more slow :\

08:41

nvm it's ok on empty server

@Luca sure, that's even more fancy

Well. But I guess its not too hard? You could even do it via cli if we give a run option or something like they did on ath

08:42

And the just check for the incoming connection on the server?

08:45

Or is that already possible? Like $ DDNet connect 127.0.0.1:83030?

Yes, possible: DDNet ddnet:127.0.0.1:8303

08:57

So you can link ddnet: links to be opened with DDNet client

08:57

but testing graphical applications this way is rather brittle

is it even possible to start the client without a graphical enviroment? To fake some screen or something like that

We could observe the traffic on both sides and compare it to a known good sample which should make breakages obvious, but we are making this more and more complex while we don't even have the most basic testing

09:00

ChillerDragon: xvfb would work on linux for that, no such thing on mac or windows, if we had our own buildbots maybe we could

would be kinda cool to use xvfb in the ci for at least linux then huh?

Sounds better, I like @Learath2 idea with the traffic :o

oh i should hav read all messages before writing probably xd

i mean since we build it anyway we can also test it manually real quick?
