how to make Kog server

⊗Seasons

what if I use cheat engine on the server cmd xD ~~joking~~

if you would use cheat engine on server and client it could maybe work xD but you could also change the SERVER_TICK_SPEED in the protocol.h and compile your own version with slower or faster game ticks ... the variable sets the ticks per second..., since some prediction code hardcoded the default value of 50, you probably also have to turn of predictions this would then not be compatible with other teeworld clients...

@heinrich5991 would NetIntRange("m_InputJump", 0, 1) look the same as NetBool("m_InputJump"), in the net package? or are intRange not compressed?

NetBool is just NetInt, probably

so both would use more space as you would think?

but 0s and 1s are pretty well compressed using the huffman and snapshot compression

14:41

yes, they'd be identical

k

just a thought: could you maybe get rid of "inputdirection" and "inputjump" and rather send these in the real character object?

we could but then we would have to change the prediction code

14:43

its the same for m_ActiveWeapon xD

sounds better than duplicating it to me tbh

14:43

yes, same there

the problem is, that we control the movement of the tees in gamecore only by the inputs, and just reset the inputs if the tee is in freeze, if we would not reset the inputs we would have to change the gamecore so that it knows if someone is in freeze

sounds very good

14:47

does gamecore not know about this yet?

mh thinking about it a little more, we probably do not need to change the gamecore, because the inputs are also reset in clientside prediction... Mh, but then it will mispredict for vanilla client, spectators and players with cl_predict off

send the old values for old clients

14:50

but not for spectators. hmmm

gamecore knows if you are in freeze, with m_FreezeTick, and since I added m_IsInFreeze also more simple with a bool xD

no, m_IsInFreeze is about whether freeze would refresh, no?

I will test a little, and think about it more... mh, m_IsInFreeze is if you are in a freeze tile, but not if you are outside of freeze, freezed yes you are right

yo can we have the #bot-cmds stuff on the player pages on ddnet.tw? (edited)

the graphs? someone would have to code it, I'm too lazy

the total hours also

deen

the graphs? someone would have to code it, I'm too lazy

the code for the dynamic part of ddnet.tw is not public, right? nvm found this https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet-web/issues/166#issuecomment-993895717 (edited)

is it possible to make everyones feet white? (locally)

17:27

its hard to memorize a different shade of grey for each tee

just a thought: could you maybe get rid of "inputdirection" and "inputjump" and rather send these in the real character object?

I could have set m_IsInPracticeMode also as Flag in DDNetCharacter.m_Flags, to fill up all 32bits of the flag xD and m_IsInFreeze too... probably could have added a flag field to DDNetCharacterDisplayInfo :/ (edited)

why not do that?

sending the real inputs in CharacterCore is much more work than just sending them additionally xD (and probably risking physic change, but I'm carefull) ... hope this will be useful ^^ ...

heinrich5991

why not do that?

mh since it is still not released, I could change it

what would be your favourite option?

having duplicate information all around isn't nice either

18:19

yea, a flag sounds more space-efficient than an integer, probably best to put it there

if we add a flag to DDNetCharacterDisplayInfo, xD we could also use 3 bits of it for the inputs

but I try to send it with DDNetCharacter ... -.- (edited)

can you give me a bind that if I press Z deepfly be ON and if I press it again or another char.. will be OFF?

echo Deepfly: ON
bind mouse1 "+fire; +toggle cl_dummy_hammer 1 0"
bind z "echo Deepfly: OFF; cl_dummy_hammer 0; bind mouse1 +fire; bind z exec deepfly.txt"

thanks

would be nice to have a bot that can give those types of binds to people that dont have it

23:53

so they dont have to ask for binds like that if its a common bind
