Hm, the Koreans having good ping on Japan, I'm wondering if we even need the Korean server

i had always assumed that having servers in both countries served as like a backup in case one gets ddosed

iirc they are expensive servers tho

Japan expensive, Korea not so much

how much is the difference in cost

Japan is 34 € / month, Korea 22 € / month

:o

13:03

that seems like a lot for a vps hmm

13:03

is it published anywhere what the cores/bandwidth/other stats of these servers are

difficult locations and 4 cores each

ahh

13:04

ok not bad for 4 cores

You can probably figure it out by clicking through here: https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet-web/blob/master/www/_includes/funding.html

and comparing to the costs of each server on funding page

yeah ive looked at this page before but couldnt find anything that says how many cores the servers have

13:04

ddnet.tw/status tells me some of the other info

We could probably add specs for the servers

why though?

i think it is interesting info that could be posted somewhere but im not sure it fits with ddnet.tw/status

The performance difference between what each hoster calls a "core" is so huge that it's meaningless

some of my servers still have only 1 core

Many of DDNet servers too

13:14

Don't need more for 50-100 players depending on core strength

they work just fine for tw but handle worse under heavy ddos than the servers with multiple cores

right, the only benefit is giving more cpu to iptables or some other similar type of firewall i guess

Having a core able to handle the rx queue is nice

that too

Eh, this is very off-topic here

+ possibly tx queue depending on how the filter works

oh this is mapping channel ops

@deen hey, i was working on map "Nordlicht". I think its deleted now. How can i restore it?

Moyoi

@deen hey, i was working on map "Nordlicht". I think its deleted now. How can i restore it?

deleted from map testing section or overally deleted from your game files

from map testing section

https://ddnet.tw/testlogs/show/Nordlicht

ok, and how can i back it? post again?

yes but did u read the reasons for decilne

13:35

u should probably fix those first

Does the entetie overlay layer means u can just make secret ways invisible eveb with enteties on?

no

(You can make them, but I think our mapping guidelines dont allow them nowadays. These used to be quite popular back in 0.5)

wait wym

Hm, actually didnt we fix all the tricks that allowed these?

14:03

I think we did, yeah nvm ignore that

u can spam TURN OFF ENTITIES all over the map but u can still just edit your entities

There was some front layer trickery you could do with tiles to hide things

oh yeah

14:03

i have some client where u can hide tune zones

tele layer actually

14:04

or so i was told hehe

oh wow

why it was removed? overused for bad stuff?

I still haven't figured out wtf broke the tune zone in quixs map btw. Spent almost 2 hours looking at the code but nothing

did you bisect it?

Can't bisect it it's completely random

14:06

It happened on a single server

what actually happened? tunezone didnt do anything?

Yeah

14:07

But if I added a message to the tunezone through rcon, the message fired just fine

14:07

It just didnt work with tunes

maybe something to do with how you place it? on switch you can use shift button to draw some tiles bcs they loose their numbers when u do

14:08

cant

Hm, I'll explore that, but I dont see how the message would fire if the numbers were lost, nor how it would work on all servers but one

14:09

Smells very much like undefined behaviour

on switch layer the tile only looses part of its property too. try to place a jump tile with delay 3or so. it will be a 0jump tile

like on noby fng ealier troll

Is it normal that people cant see the blocks on my map due to the "High Detail" settings?

15:37

if i turn high detail off they dissappear

set the hd to no

15:38
