What do foes actually do?

01:28

I couldn't figure it out, I thought it was related to muting but that doesn't seem to be the case

What do foes actually do?

use add_foe "playername" "clan" to add a player name to mute permanently (unless removed with remove_foe)

01:55

then foes will list all the players that you muted with add_foe (edited)

So it does mute them

Ya

yeah

add_foe is a permanent mute for that specific name, or name / clan combo

unlike the tick in the Players tab ingame, foes get saved so the name you added is permanently muted (settings_ddnet.cfg) (edited)

But muting in the player menu is completely separate

01:57

Foes don't show anywhere except foes command

They used to show up in a list in the browser, similar to the friends list

01:58

iirc

Why is the player list mute separated from foes? I assumed it would add a foe because the friend button is right next to it

No clue, but I remember deen being worried about permanent mutes

02:02

Probably something along the lines of accidentally permanently muting someone and not realizing, which I could see happening I guess

i could also imagine it being abused with fakenames, imagine someone spamming every server with the name of moderators names (or literally anyone), and a bunch of people mute them forever whereas if the majority of people only use the tick to mute permanently, its not an issue since they only mute the spammer (edited)

I liked the context menu thing someone posted earlier for the scoreboard, I think a combination of that and some better interface windows would be an overall improvement to everything, maybe in combination of accounts

02:06

Though idk how well that'd work for a full server, would need to rework the scoreboard in general. especially 128 player

02:07

Every menu could use a overhaul tbh, but I'm just yappin greenthing

Seems like a good start to modernizing things imo

02:17

(Players tab is awful)

needs something to enable cursor in menu cause i like to have my ingame cursor in menu sometimes

02:38

maybe same button for spectator menu or smth

02:39

actually, maybe just ditch that idea and force cursor in tab menu

02:39

there's not many cases where you really need it during gameplay so it might be better to force cursor and just have people get used to it

@Anime.pdf @Skeith i made a quick concept for how i'd do the menu

02:57

the 3 icon buttons mean: Add friend, Add foe, and Report

dope

This looks goated, thanks a lot. I was thinking about adding all team stuff there join/leave, invite/kick, lock and copying nickname/id, do you think it will look ok to make some kind of tabs, to not put all actions in 1 menu?

Seems good, dunno what I'd change but maybe have less options so it's not as big, I feel like mute emotes isn't used very often by most players

In the video, cursor is being toggled by mb3, I showed it in the end, ig no one noticed this feature (edited)

i guess so, but i did kinda make this to replace the players tab

Ya, fair enough

03:20

Scoreboard should be changed to make it more obvious you can click on people

really as simple as highlighting the current player your mouse is over

03:21

which is already done

Ya, I guess. I guess then it needs to be made more obvious you can turn mouse mode on

03:23

I don't like the idea of having it on by default when hitting tab, as louis suggested

yea but that involves a... gulp ...option!

@Voxel why do you have me blocked, I didn't mention twinbop for a year already, and I still can't add silly reactions to your messages

sighhhh fine

GOOD MORNING

merry christmas y'all

Yo, is there anyone who may have a little super secret, ~~retarded~~ redacted article about culling textures that are completely covered by other textures which don't have any transparency at all? kek

(edited)

05:09

I'm planning on implementing occlusion on textures which shouldn't be visible whatsoever and is wasting precious draw calls

how much fps do you think it will save

depends on how draw calls are handled
