DDraceNetwork - questions

are map changes while in the middle of a map reportable?

1:38min are u kidding

10:16

It's not the middle

10:17

Ah yeah ik this map, it's the beginning

we have protection for that but only after 20 min race time I think

Yes, the protection is after 20 minutes

Lately Ive been getting this issue on ZAF servers where my ping varies on different servers. There are no specific ports which this happens on, the server could be fine and then if i reconnect to it like an hour later after taking a break it wouldnt be anymore, anyone know whats happening?

11:15

Its constant ping, doesnt change

deen

we have protection for that but only after 20 min race time I think

yes its good with 20mins, otherwise ppl will block the server

ddnet client uses random ports for joining a server. your isp probably routes different ports differently. you can just restart client to get new ports

11:25

the random ports are a security feature

Ah okok, even if I manage to get good ping on one tho, its never both, either me or my dummy has 180 ping

complain to your isp?

11:32

i don't really want to add support to specify the ports

Aight npnp

Hello i have a question. What was name of anyoying map on moderate whats starts with short gores? Record on map is like 40s did with skip (edited)

@Ryu you should be able to work around it with https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/pull/4507

Add cl(|_dummy|_contact)_port for ISPs that throttle specific ports...

As reported by Ryu Verified with cl_port 12345; cl_dummy_port 12346: Checklist Tested the change ingame Provided screenshots if it is a visual change Tested in combination with possibly relat...

So if iam near the finish line and my time is 2h 15 mins, but I want to finish at 2:22 and someone votes and everyone (let's say 30 tees) presses F3 except me, the vote will fail? Am I right? It doesn't matter how many tees f3ed?

as long as you arent afk

if u press f4 100% u do veto, if u dont press nothing i think still fail, not sure

hi, i changed my name from /\ssa to Assa because the / was causing all kinds of troubles and it was adding a (1) to become (1)/\ssa, can you convert my points?

https://ddnet.tw/renames/

I match all points

14:20

execpt how can I prove that I am myself?

14:21

It says you have 1989 points? Not 3k

so you want me to stay with a broken name?

14:22

you are right, I miss 1K points

Was your name always like this?

there were many exceptions from the points rule from what i remember

14:22

so u can still try

no, one day (many years ago) this changed due to an update

also hi assa feelsamazingman

lmao

I give you the github issue.

Seems like a bug, so maybe an admin will look into it. @murpi

https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/issues/1328

Merging accounts of people with '/' in the beggining of their names...

Some update added, that a prefix like (1) is added before usernames, that are begging with the / (slash) charachter. So a name like mine /\ssa turned to (1)/\sssa. I guess you did it, because comma...

14:23

it's not a bug, it's a feature

14:23

preventing people to name themselfes /kill

I see

14:25

The rules for renaming do state that no exceptions will be made whatsoever, so you might just have to grind some points.

Sounds reasonable kappa

It is what it is

your system broke my name, not me, if this is not a reasonable exception, then idk

Try DMing deen or murpi about it

Souly

there were many exceptions from the points rule from what i remember

Can you give me an example?

no

you said many exceptions but can't give me a single example?

i just felt like i saw some people with less points getting renames

14:34

but i dont remember anything specific

14:34

and ye even if so then prob not "many" justatest

haisito got his name changed a few times

14:55

though this might have been before murpi and the rule changes

btw, if I want to rename to "newnick", "newnick" have to be empty (0 points)? or it's not so necessary?

15:03

like "newnick" have < 200 pts

Souly

there were many exceptions from the points rule from what i remember

tf i grinded like hell to get to 3k cause deen said no exceptions

u probably would need a good reason

15:18

or those were just name changes before the 3k rule

if you press nothing it will go through after the vote time, you have to f4

@deen what do you say about this issue?

AssassinTee

@deen what do you say about this issue?

Renamed since it was my fault your name got changed in the first place, sorry about that

15:58

If you can show that you own "newnick" aswell we can try to accomodate

hm, I think a lot of random screens will be enough :D

Demos are usually the preferred method for proof of id

Assa comes from AssassinTee, which was the nick I started playing when I was 13. It's a bad word-joke about AssassinsCreed (There were lots of AssassinsCreed black flag ads at the time)

16:03

It's still my GitHub username, is this proof enough?

u r the author of catch16?

16:03

or smth like that

https://github.com/AssassinTee/catch64

catch64, its like catch16 (colorcatch), but with colors AND skins - GitHub - AssassinTee/catch64: catch64, its like catch16 (colorcatch), but with colors AND skins

cause I saw this one

no Catch64, the 0.7 port

yeah yeah

have one short demo from fng greenthing

having a demo (or ghost) with /\ in the nickname ads a whitespace in the demo/ghost name btw, but I don't think anyone else encounters this weird bug (edited)

thinking about this, maybe a linebreak like /n or /n/r could break the client

16:20

nevermind, each special character get's replaced by whitespaces

yes, it's to make it safer with the filenames. \ is often used for escaping and this could lead to bugs (edited)

DDNet client has a multitude of commands and settings that can be bound to nearly any key or mouse button. You can enter commands into the console, which by default is accessed by pressing F1.
