I think the demo renderer in the game can be improved. For example, this is a 3rd party demo renderer developed for the source games I left below. https://github.com/crashfort/SourceDemoRender and while it covers a lot of things found on ddnet, it also contains many features. For example, motion blur can be added by slowing down the video compared to the video fps. (I don't know the exact math unfortunately.) (edited)

why would you not do it in a editing software?

09:36

if u care about such stuff u probs dont upload the plain video anyway

It's never been as good as I expected.

And with the SourceDemoRenderer I mentioned above, video can be recorded at 7200 fps and more.

u can record ddnet with infinite fps

1000 is the limit

until ur pc explodes

09:38

xd

09:38

but its just a config isnt it?

09:38

just change it

Didn't I need to compile the game from scratch for this?

yes

I thought the value 1000 was hard coded.

yes

09:39

but its ez to change

But why would players make such an effort? And there must be a reason why it's limited at 1000.

bcs smone thought 1000 is fine

09:40

and its fine until its not anymore

09:40

if u need more we can change it

09:40

the setting really doesnt matter

Jupstar ✪

but its ez to change

Hm, ez for you and me, not ez for the user. Maybe we can just max out the cpu and gpu instead of capping it?

Why do you need 7200 fps?

deen

Why do you need 7200 fps?

Faster render

super slow mo xD

Learath2

Faster render

why faster?

09:40

it would be insanly slow

Ohh he means the recording fps

yes

just reprogram your eyes to captute 7200 fps, then its useful

Learath2

Hm, ez for you and me, not ez for the user. Maybe we can just max out the cpu and gpu instead of capping it?

we already use 100% cpu if possible

You can just set 120 fps video, and f1 cl_demo_speed 0.001

Hm what would one even do with a 1000 fps video?

usually slow it down to watch

well i also find it overkill, but its probs easier to edit^^

flex with it

so cl_demo_speed can be used for the same

Learath2

Hm what would one even do with a 1000 fps video?

A better quality motion blur will be.

deen

You can just set 120 fps video, and f1 cl_demo_speed 0.001

This actually makes sense I didn't think I could use cl_demo_speed like this.

im just curious though, will there be any othet method to render videos that doesnt involve screen capture? it seems like the way its set up if you do anything outside the client it messes up

?

09:43

u mean for non demos?

09:44

ah u mean if u tab out?

yes

and why does the demo renderer include my nvidia overlay in the video.

we can just render to a background framebuffer

09:44

with opengl 3.0+ & vulkan at least

Nora

and why does the demo renderer include my nvidia overlay in the video.

overlay on the bottom right indicating that the shadowplay is on

Nora

overlay on the bottom right indicating that the shadowplay is on

probs bcs nvidia injects it into your framebuffer

09:45

would probs also be fixed with a background framebuffer

Source Demo Renderer seems to have fixed this somehow.

09:45

Another method or something?

Jupstar ✪

would probs also be fixed with a background framebuffer

I guess

Jupstar ✪

would probs also be fixed with a background framebuffer

i did think about how speed/zoom changing mid render could work if its now rendered in the background, which i posted in showroom a bit ago

tbh all these stuff can be implemented in the frontend/simulation/demo code

09:48

i dont see why the video renderer should care about it

deen

You can just set 120 fps video, and f1 cl_demo_speed 0.001

No such command: cl_demo_speed.

09:48

Baited

it just takes the current picture and puts it into the video xd

09:48

maybe its simply overkill to do all this in ddnet generally

09:49

editing softwares are much better

yea but a bit of pre-edit software automation wouldnt hurt. i get your point on it being overkill though

i mean if u add demo markers that automatically change zoom or smth i guess thats fine

09:51

that already helps quite a lot and doesnt bloat too much

Jupstar ✪

editing softwares are much better

But when you get to editing software some information will be lost, so some tools in the game might be good

yeah but smth like post processing effects like motion blur.. all these effects loose details anyway

E.g. motion blurring just tees in post would be pain. You'd need to manually roto the tee

09:52

Or maybe render the same demo with no quads and key out the background that way

[ddnet/ddnet-web] Pull request opened: #217 Explain entities comfort

Add explain layer for entities-comfort. + Some cleanup of previous code and script used to generate https://wiki.ddnet.org/wiki/Template:Game.png, because the data is in this repository (explain-layer/game.csv).

i guess editing softwares can keep track of tees

The only way to automate it I can think of is the second thing I mentioned, but then you need to render twice

Learath2

Or maybe render the same demo with no quads and key out the background that way

that would be SO helpful

mhh i'd have thought video editing softwares can already do it build in like focus on a few user defined points and track motion in deltas

It can track points yeah, but it can't know the bounds of the tee

09:56

I guess you can hack around it by using just a circular mask and pretending the tee is a perfect circle

or switching to entities with a blank images as the blocks

But yes, most stuff should be done in post

i mean i agree it would be cool

09:57

but its defs lot of effort xD

09:57

doubt anybody will do it here

09:58

just drop all renderers except vulkan and drop all os except linux, then we have the whole open source community behind us xd

i mean, people like beautemps would utilize these features a whole lot

Does anyone know why my computer has slow internet speed? Its between < 1mbit/s up to like a few mbit/s. I checked:

its not my main adapter only
its not the network, other devices work
its not some setting/things from online instructions
same behaviour in safe mode with network drivers enabled

NetworkManager?

I'm guessing its a windows bug, I know I had updated my PC like 2 weeks ago, but havent noticed it until a few days ago I think. It could also be that a few days ago I accidentally turned of the power before the pc shut down completely, I used sfc /scannow and it also found damaged files, but it didnt solve the issue

12:02

off*

look if it is capped at a rounded value like exactily 1mib or something. It could be the negociation with the network adapter

its not, as i said sometimes its < 1mbit, sometimes it goes up to like 8mbit

12:04

& it's for all adapaters as i said

then idk ^^ cant help more

Why ddrace is hard to me but blocker no

12:26

I finish multieasymap for 16 minutes and kobra for 30 min

Loshara133000woltbydimbydish

Why ddrace is hard to me but blocker no

two very different mechanics also #off-topic

Jupstar ✪

but its defs lot of effort xD

I am sure that the methods used in the source demo renderer will help you.

14:14

or whoever wants to deal with it

14:14

i am a javascript nerd

14:14

so i can't

its probs easier to read it somewhere else than in random source code

Its not random at all

14:15

Its used by all the movie makers for csgo

and how does csgo relate to ddnet?

Its the methods im talking about

yeah me too

like motion blur isn't related to csgo it self

i probs get better results by googling "opengl blur effect" than reading this code

as you wish

14:17

but it wouldn't hurt to have a look

i am not going to do it anyway

14:17

maybe background rendering some day, as i find it useful

14:17

but motionblur is smth i do in editing software

well, there's nothing to worry about, bottom guy probably doesn't have much free time (edited)

His remote server that, at random time intervals, makes a single change in a file and commits & pushes into his repo has a lot of free time
