zooming out very far (far beyond the point of being able to see anything) makes a VERY LOUD static noise for whatever reason

07:54

id maybe add a forced limit in case anyone else fucks around and finds out kek

07:54

cause theres never any reason to actually zoom out that far but it blasted my ears for doing so

i thought I was going insane when hearing something similar to a high pitched coil whine that changes pitch when zooming in and out

I think there is a limit (cl_limit_max_zoom_level), is the noise coming from your speaker or from your GPU?

headset so yea speaker

08:24

i was screensharing so the others watching heard it too

yea but u can disable it, i mean a forced one to prevent weird things like that happening

08:25

cause surely im not the only one dumb enough to test such things

08:25

it also didnt let me zoom in, i had to rejoin to reset my zoom

Your own fault, we don't advertise this setting anywhere, some people have good GPUs and can zoom out way further without problems, so hard to set a fixed limit. also depends on the map

oh i know its my fault, the only reason i suggested adding a limit is because i dont think there is ever any need to zoom out that far xd

10:08

no map will ever be big enough to require that zoom

laughs in back in time 3 kek

i fully zoom out to quickly navigate a map when i dont want to lock my view onto a specific person - a "limit" would be annoying because if the limit is set to harsh people have to manually change it

u underestimate how far i have zoomed out kek

12:25

yes, somewhere in here is a bit3

12:29

again, the only reason someone else would encounter this bug would just be from curiosity, so its not like this is much of an issue but the sound is loud enough for me to suggest adding a (still very high) limit to show some mercy to anyone else dumb enough to try it lol

12:31

but i dont personally care if that ever gets added or not, was just a thought

my right ear will never be the same

imma try this just bcs u sugest its so bad to do that it needs to be imposeble

Skeith

my right ear will never be the same

yep i fucked around and we both found out

A more fun idea: fix the audio bug causing this

15:20

Though if that isn't hard to do then it's not that fun

15:21

I just want someone to spend a week on a bug that nobody cares about

15:22

Make a blog post about it and suddenly it's no longer pointless ;)

There's definitely something weird about zooming out very far, at some point the scoreboard is forced to be shown. What map does the audio bug happen on and which sounds are potentially playing?

i dont remember the map, i believe it was on kog. and as for the sound, just very loud pure static

15:29

so im not sure what actual sound could be playing

Are you using the default sampling rate setting?

where can i check that?

15:31

most likely

snd_rate in F1, the default should be 48000

yea its default

ok, would be good to know when it happens next time if the map contains map sounds or if it's caused by non-map sounds

Robyt3

i always have map sound off, if that matters

yeah, that's good to know, then I guess it can't be caused by map sounds, if you completely disabled them

ah it was impton, on kog servers

15:37

lemme see if i can recreate it there ig

Sound also breaks for me after zooming out very far, but it only becomes silent

hmm, i cant get it to happen again xd

15:56

maybe its more specific than i thought cause i tried replicating everything that i did when it happened and some other things but its normal now

I'd bet it has something to do with having audio being played on your computer, somehow. Try with a video playing or something, cause we were voice chatting during it. Or I guess maybe due to streaming it?

16:09

Though you did have a problem with your mic immediately after it happened as well, maybe something related to that caused it

why i didnt get cl_smooth_expo on 18.7

Because it doesn't need an option. It was only present in the video on https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet/pull/9124 for testing I assume

ah lol

18:50

i just wanted to test

i found a bug so you can ban others

I had a yt stream open, tried doing it on the exact demo where it originally happened, and tried screen sharing it as well. Also the mic issue im pretty sure was just cause it wasn't plugged in fully after I plugged it back in

There is no confirmation when trying to restart the client (after downloading the new update) while having an unsaved map in the editor. But there is one when trying to leave the client with an unsaved map. A user could expect the client to keep the map after the restart in my opinion. So it could be nice to add a confirmation window to ensure it is not the case

that sounds like a rough edge case - hmm
