DDraceNetwork - developer

When I try to compile DDNet on the WSL (Version 1) with gcc it will compile fine and start. However, it cannot initialize SDL2 then because I'm on the subsystem. Is there a known way around this somehow?

[2020-11-21 01:11:30][sdl]: SDL version 2.0.10 (compiled = 2.0.10)
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
[2020-11-21 01:11:30][gfx]: unable to init SDL video: No available video device
[2020-11-21 01:11:30][gfx]: out of ideas. failed to init graphics
[2020-11-21 01:11:30][client]: couldn't init graphics

This are the last 5 lines printed to the log

@Learath2 you could copy the whole config directory and try on Linux or send to us

@Spyry how many threads do you use for compiling? How bad is your hardware? And which file are you editing? If you edit a deeply rooted file that everyone depends on then it has to recompile a lot.

@becc does WSL support graphical applications at all?

07:44

because this error message sounds like not

and what is your goal? If it's just to get a Windows executable, you should use mingw or Visual Studio

@Deleted User it was a clean config

Spyry

@Deleted User what version can i use ddnet to create my mod?

Just use the most recent github version.

@Ravie write shorter messages

I really love the new chat layout. Especially that it has miniature of a player skin. It's easier to tell if that's a zombie or a human. Players tend to trick others a lot telling "he is on right side of a map, catch him" while being on the other one

08:13

I was tricked by that every time and it was annoying

08:14

@Ravie how does it break readability? it improves it actually

what do you mean hole on the left side

idk about you, but I read who said the message, and then my eyes naturally go to the left side of the next line

the text is always align next to the name

08:16

@Ravie write the exact same text with old chat

08:16

and send a pic and then rate again

if you read chat as a continuous text, this does break the flow

mhh ok, i disagree on that

also more often that not it leaves a single word in the next line which looks extra stupid with the huge hole next to it

it should have been like that before

08:18

we didnt change that algorithm

yeah but it would be kinda tucked under the name and not look dumb

well the best would be if the name is above the message always like here on discord

08:19

but the chat is too small for that

cozy mode

also most games with chat that I'm familiar with also wrap chat like old tw

@deen I am trying to keep my Windows Environment clean and install most of the Toolchains on the WSL. So my question would be if it is possible to compile for Windows with gcc/g++. However, I also tried installing VS Community 2019 but keep getting errors compiling the Client. I am pretty new to DDNet-Sources and Compiling and only got basic knowledge in C/C++. The warnings I get compiling with Visual Studio:

cl : Command line warning D9025 : overriding '/MDd' with '/MTd'
cl : Command line warning D9025 : overriding '/W3' with '/W0'

The error I get compiling with VS:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.18362.0\um\winnt.h(2482): error C2338: Windows headers require the default packing option. Changing this can lead to memory corruption. This diagnostic can be disabled by building with WINDOWS_IGNORE_PACKING_MISMATCH defined.

I read on some sites that this error occurs because of the Zp (structure packing) Flag. However, I cannot really find where to change it in Clion

@becc Probably you need to use mingw and cross-compile then.

09:14

I'm not a Visual Studio expert, but there were some tutorials that should work: https://forum.ddnet.tw/viewtopic.php?t=5765

~~Or just install Linux, fix that and ruin your life in every other aspect~~

09:31

imo using cmake-gui makes it really ez (edited)

09:32

just define the source and dest directory generate VS .sln project and open it normally in VS

VS2019 should be able to open CMake project directly

[ddnet/ddnet] Issue opened: #3345 Handle too long translations better

Translations can be too long for text buffer and get cut off. We should somehow warn about this. Text can be too long to be shown in graphics, maybe it can be scaled then? Not so easy to solve.

@noby have u exported your fng 0.7 map without a "data" directory

11:27

bcs it looks broken with 0.7 client

i sometimes get huge fps drops right now, with no apparent reason

even on older versions?

how can i figure out where they come from?

11:28

good point, gonna check

11:29

i didnt have them earlier tho and my computer setup hasnt changed, no problems in other games

the biggest problem with laggs is using a old client after using a new client, bcs that can reset alot of default config vairables

[ddnet/ddnet] Pull request closed: #3201 Map optimizer

ah, also between the closer versions?

no

i switch between the steam (non-nightly) and the one from the aur all the time

that should be fine

okay, im gonna check on an old client

@Comrade VS's cmake support is god awful

11:33

Your best bet on windows is to avoid VS, just use mingw or msvc from the command line with whatever make you want

11:33

nmake, ninja, msys make all work just fine

but cmakes vs support is good xd

@Deleted User about the map optimizer, do I just run it after map_convert_07?

yes but be aware that it always outputs maps into "out"

oh, that's a bit annoying, but ok

but you could do ./map_optimize "m.map" "../m.map"
