why is strong/weak still a thing? im assuming cause maps may require strong/weak or atleast be easier with it? Also wondering why /spec isnt a thing on all maps or have just some way to toggle between weak/strong for everyone for all maps that should in theory not be able to be abused (like /spec can, with the sg glitch)

It's a thing bcs there are parts that work only with weak (edited)

and is there a reason /spec isnt a thing on all maps?

06:07

like maybe the sg glitch

like maybe the sg glitch

i mean if someone's doing the sf glitch on purpose then they can just decide who gets strong before starting race, so that's not rly a concern imo

06:24

like on sky ivland

no but you need to actually go into spec to stack into eachother

https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/issues/4575

Strong/weak discussion · Issue #4575 · ddnet/ddnet

So, first of all, the only possible solution to this would be a map setting to decide if every player should have strong. This way we make sure no old maps break/no behaviour for current ranks chan...

07:31

They talk a bit about the larger issues that come with removing weakhook here

Broso56

like maybe the sg glitch

They is other cheat than SG bug + thé spec is useless in Map like novice + if u add spec on all Map u need to changé Map 1 by 1 and everyone know mod and admin are lazy af

If we enable it now then you can finish some maps faster than before, that's unfair to previous speedrunners

09:23

We never had it on by default, only when the mapper wants it on their map

ah ic

09:32

fair enough

Hello, I have a question regarding the client. I have a weak laptop and the client crashes sometimes. What is the best setting for weak hardware? I use old opengl, no high detail, no background image, don't show others... It's really annoying because I sometimes race and then my laptop lags (it's not a network lag) and suddenly I'm in freeze. Sometimes the whole client shuts down.

f1, gfx_opengl_major 1 and restart client, there is a sticky in #bugs about this problem (edited)

nice

14:10

still happens

do other games crash for you too?

14:25

Maybe your system is just overloaded? Can you try enabling vsync?

well... minecraft works. I try vsync.

Who're polish mods

14:27

?

works now, had to install hardware drivers. no, still laggy. (edited)

Hello. I can't put a tee here. There are two blocks. Not fast enough. Please tell me how to do it.

I think you might be able to do it by skipping the hook on the corner before that

thank you. Is it hammer → hook → jump at the corner in front of it?

no, just hook → jump

works now, had to install hardware drivers. no, still laggy. (edited)

how much RAM do you have?

Which corner is blue or light blue? By the way, tee is now in orange.

blue one, jump direct to red spot

15:18

without hammer

15:18

otherwise, you can try hammering from top(red spot) when starting from teal spot

Oh! It's done! thank you!

I was able to clear it! Thank you to the two who taught me.

gg

can i append one image from one map to another?

@Chairn 4G

drag the first map into map_extract.exe and then import the image in the second map. but make sure you ask the mapper/graphics creator if you can use it

could add 4G, would that help?

I will add 4G to my RAM. Will 8G be enough?

yes

16:40

but its not just ram dependant

16:41

doesnt matter if you have 8gb ram if your cpu is bad

let me see...

16:44

GPU: Intel HD 3000 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2540M CPU @ 2.60GHz 4G RAM I don't have a graphic card. (it's CPU integrated - I think) I don't know about hardware. Shall I update my CPU or I could get an external NVIDIA GPU. @bencie (edited)

i'd say gpu since your specs meet the minimum requirements. i wanna hear other peoples opinion about it tho

minimum requirements? is there a document?

If the game is laggy, try lan cable instead of wifi, try turning off all other programs, turning off all other computers, disable p2p updates in windows: http://www.alexandreviot.net/2015/07/29/windows-10-disable-windows-update-p2p/

Windows 10 - Disable Windows Update P2P - Alexandre VIOT

With Windows 10, Microsoft introduces a new method to get Windows Update. How to disable P2P upload from your computer.

16:49

lags should not be caused by your cpu/gpu/ram

gonna buy gpu

should try this methods first

did so, I'm using ArchLinux. Lan Cable. Have low ping. It's the client. It even closes sometimes. (edited)

I'm also on arch linux, you shouldn't need a dedicated graphics card for ddnet

is there a scenario where it crashes 100% or is it random?

16:57

maybe you can try running it with gdb

if it closes, that's not what I'd call lags, but crashing

17:01

do you get a coredump out? is there any output on terminal? (run it from terminal)

17:02

and is your system overheating maybe? Can you check dmesg output

I don't know how to use gdb, I tried the debug mode in ddnet. I sometimes run DDNet from terminal but can't remember finding something special. I will make screenshot next time. And try using gdb.

17:07

It crashes randomly. Preferably close to freeze tiles

just do 'gdb DDNet'

17:11

at the prompt type 'run'

17:11

when it crashes, type 'bt' (short for backtrace)

ok

I just put it in windowed mode and it crashed. But did not close. This is how it looks like when it crashes. (edited)

17:43

17:45

It 'inherits' the stuff of other applications.

bt.log

probs a driver bug

17:57

if you dont care about FPS you can use LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./DDNet

will try that

i'd lower the resolution alot, so you get more fps xd

seems to work so far, ty

18:04

how, there's only one for me

cauldron

how, there's only one for me

Switch "Desktop Fullscreen" to "Fullscreen"

deen

drag the first map into map_extract.exe and then import the image in the second map. but make sure you ask the mapper/graphics creator if you can use it

when i click on this nothing happens

18:17

when i drag the map onto this file also nothing happens

does some one have some usefull binds?

aqu

does some one have some usefull binds?

https://wiki.ddnet.tw/wiki/Binds

Binds

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.

thax :D

np

19:34

is 8333 hours 20 mins the hard limit for max racetime? there are 3 people with that exact finish time on time shop

maybe they were in a team

19:38

8333 h 20 min = 30,000,000 seconds

ah yes ._.
