good night everyone, how to remove lags from the computer?

good night

hello how can I add the bans file saved on the server to the server banlist (edited)

How I know it automatically saving

You don't need obs, just render the demo using DDNet

How idk?

How idk?

in the demo browser, selecting a demo file you will find a render button located at the bottom right corner

don't alt-tab during the rendering process

is it ok to flip one way hookthrough tiles

no, mirroring directional hookthrough tiles breaks them afaik

Guys I can't play anymore with these lags how can I fix this

Why is rendering demos so slow?

17:06

Normally the game can run at 1000fps so why can't it render demos in real time

well encoding to a video format is very expensive

17:08

if u'd have infinite harddrive and infitinite harddrive speed it could do it at 1000fps

It should be able to do almost real-time though, faster than realtime is where issues begin

@Jupstar ✪ do we use hardware accel encoding?

17:09

NVENC?

no, soon™️ there is a vulkan h264 encoder extension

17:10

that is the first "real" crossplattform encoder

don't we just hand it to ffmpeg?

yes

17:10

but ffmpeg must be build with support for these encoders

17:10

and it also doesnt just take a buffer

I thought we build a fat ffmpeg

u need to setup the encoder etc.

17:10

and then it still depends on how fast your GPU actually is

17:11

on my cpu i can do a 2minutes demo in around 30 seconds

I guess but still i would imagine it could go at least real time because connecting a bunch of pngs with ffmpeg is faster than real time

not so fat, I only add a few specific codecs that we need: https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet-scripts/blob/master/ddnet-lib-update.sh#L81 see the --disable-all

what do you mean? building PNGs is also rather slow

Converting image sequences to video basically

yeah but thats very expensive actually
