Huh, someone implemented points in scoreboard using a Python script rewriting the memory of running DDNet process, pretty cool: https://github.com/MageDelfador/DDNet-show-points-in-game

Pretty basic hack. Good. I like it. Qustionable choice of language. (edited)

01:02

But I looked at it. And it will break whenever you update the game/push new binaries. If it's not outdated already. (edited)

01:03

They hardcoded the addresses instead of going for methods to dynamically aquire the address each time.

01:06

Such methods could be Array of Bytes/Sig-Scanning, RTTI, Pointers, etc.

01:12

Depending on how the scoreboard works. Instead of writing to the scoreboard. They could have wrote an hook for a function that gets information for a netid/player, such as name, clan, ping, etc.

01:13

Or even better. Writing an hook for the scoreboard window. Then you could add your own "Points" tab. Instead of having to replace existing information or making that information false. (edited)

01:16

Hacking stuff can get pretty beautiful. And that's why I love doing it.

Who can create a concept for our current scoreboard with total player scores in mind that doesn't look too bad and is well readable even with long names ^^ @Ravie @louis any idea?

Yes, I'm not sure if number makes more sense, or some visual representation of the points

Friend list places name and clan vertically to each another. But dunno if that can look good. Ping and player flag can be smaller

Can someone take a look to this please? https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/745926398140612678/1063401705665986581

we need ddnet-foss in the aur!

without the discord spyware flag on

Isn't there a way to remember some config flags in AUR? Gentoo has this, you can set different flags for each package you compile, that was the most fun, picking the right options for each

11:49

I guess I never noticed because I only set special flags for packages which get updated about once every 5 years

time to switch to gentoo then

ChillerDragon: you can edit the PKGBUILD when building

But you have to reedit that for each new version?

yes

12:45

but it should be comparatively easy, remove -DDISCORD=ON

12:45

alternatively, you could create a stub discord library and install that

Should we have that for Linux too btw?

i dunno, the only problems i have seen yet was out of VRAM

13:55

or were there others?

13:57

is "Always use this option" in non beta steam already? else these options are probably annoying anyway

13:57

and if it exists, and someone already did, and its not resettet if you add a third option, its useless anyway xD

I don't have Windows, so can't test

if we get more complains we can still do it i guess

13:58

i dunno how the situtation is for the chinese community. they are probably the biggest community now

13:59

and they not really in discord

i have those options

Jupstar ✪

is "Always use this option" in non beta steam already? else these options are probably annoying anyway

It's only annoying if you start the game 10 times a day for whatever reason

every non optionl extra step sucks

We lose players if people can't start the game and don't want to join discord

on a fresh install this shouldn't happen tho

This Voice Doesn't Exist - Generative Voice AI

We’re deploying our own generative model which lets users design entirely new synthetic voices

15:04

voice actors are the next target

15:04

Video game developers can now voice a plethora of otherwise mute NPCs with all the necessary tools available at their fingertips. Not only can they be more cost-effective without compromising on quality but they can now also design voices that will be entirely unique to the virtual worlds they create.

15:04

actually cool applications

images, code, text and now voice

wdym, a new window or changing the current scoreboard?

Ravie

wdym, a new window or changing the current scoreboard?

change the current to add total player points

15:16

we run out of space so we might need to redesign it a bit, i guess we could grow in height a very bit if that helps

then the only way is to make it wide

smth like the team strings looks too bad?

well maybe some tiny text could work ye

oh they arent below the team anymore xd

15:18

or we have to accept generally smaller font sizes for all sizes

15:18

imo this is still well readable

15:18

and gives much more space

I wouldn't make it smaller

15:19

it's kinda the tw GUI style to have really big text and fat buttons

Jupstar ✪

or we have to accept generally smaller font sizes for all sizes

but e.g. here its like that on tw already

just for 64players

thanks chillerdragon

I had the idea to maybe make the scoreboard scrollable, would be good for potential future 128p support

wot did it split the link to 2 messages? xd

yes

gg irc

17:08

17:08

this is a hot scoreboard

17:08

note the missing score because of minimalism

17:09

please also add a graph of points history for every player and the weather based on the players country flag

17:11

what about a top5000 top1000 top500 top100 badge on the tee instead? :)

@Jupstar ✪ here's an idea with a scrollbar, we could also do something about the spectator box below to have more space for players

Ravie

@Jupstar ✪ here's an idea with a scrollbar, we could also do something about the spectator box below to have more space for players

yeah scrollbar would fix lot of issues, could maybe activate mouse like CS:GO does by using alt + mouse_right or smth like that

17:33

but ofc has the disadvantage of not seeing eveyrthing at once

yeah that's why I'm thinking about how to fit more players vertically

17:34

if you could see like 24 players at a time then you will never have to scroll too much

17:35

also with a scrollbar we could get rid of the big 64p scoreboard and make this one wider instead so names and clans will always fit

tbh do we need spectator box at all for ddrace?

17:36

even if, there are rarely more than 2-3 players in spec

it's nice to see who is in the server but as spectator, but that can always go at the bottom of the scroll area

17:36

or list spectators as players but put them in some team

Ravie

@Jupstar ✪ something like that or are you thinking about a bigger redesign?

I think the word "points" every time, will be too redundant

lets create a symbol for points

17:43

like our currency

17:43

$

17:43

xd

deen

I think the word "points" every time, will be too redundant

yeah maybe, I just couldn't think of a better way to show what that number means

Ryozuki

lets create a symbol for points

ℙ

sounds mathy

it could be points, could be rank, could be points rank if there is no info

i got 8000ℙ

I think I'd be fine with not fitting all 64 on a single screen. We could also try to merge 128 player support

17:45

much easier then

Ravie

yeah maybe, I just couldn't think of a better way to show what that number means

Maybe at the top just put Name / Points

17:46

if we have 2 lines per player, we could also display more stuff, maybe the time when the rank was made under time? Jitter of the connection under ping?

17:47

or rank/teamrank numbers of the player too

17:47

Might make sense to rethink everything that is useful to put in scoreboard if we are doing a redesign anywaay

17:48

Best rank, best teamrank, mapper name?

could put Rank x under the time

Ravie

@Jupstar ✪ something like that or are you thinking about a bigger redesign?

is it even necessary tho

I wouldn't stuff too much stuff into the scoreboard

17:49

it's nice to quickly check who's online rn

^ yeah same

Yeah, I guess that's a danger

what info do you usually check when looking at the scoreboard?

17:50

I probably check who's online, my ping, and rarely other people's ping

yeah it should stay minimal but maybe some additional info related to rank or points could be nice

I look for players I should ban, but I'm not playing much

ah, and the skin is also useful inf

17:50

o

17:50

because I know what to look out for when matching skin to name

yeah I always find my friends in tab by skins

deen

Best rank, best teamrank, mapper name?

goes straight into server info

17:52

very unused page in menu

17:52

motd server info and player amount with mod type

17:52

not much yey

17:52

yet

oh, top5 would be nice in server info ^^

17:53

an actual UI for it

17:53

but I guess I'm getting too much into wish list territory

i even look at pings of others, bcs i want to see if they lag, when they play bad xd

18:05

i generally look at everything tbh, time maybe the least, but score for example a lot for pvp mods

I never look at clan

perhaps the score/rank/points could be cycled instead of being shown at the same time?

18:13

maybe Jupstar even said that, some button to press to cycle it

if we'd implement mouse/cursor support we could also do hover information

aaa i do get core dumps since i updated ma client but also might be chillerbot buggos

Jupstar ✪

i even look at pings of others, bcs i want to see if they lag, when they play bad xd

im checking other players ping to make sure they will have same ping next time

19:27

if theyll not ill ask like "did you change your flat or something"

19:28

or make sure player isn't fake

the bar showing the delay before unfreeze seem to stutter

20:01

like not smooth, but hard to notice it

20:02

ah well the zoom gives that effect

As described in #5844, sometimes the color kept changing when activating a color picker. By rounding the color components before packing them into an unsigned, the color only changes very little and only at most once when activating a color picker.
