[teeworlds/teeworlds] Issue opened: #1907 Add instagib game mode

I introduced Teeworlds to two friends of mine. We enjoyed playing Instagib for the beginning very much. They struggled enough with the very unique movement of Teeworlds. Just shooting the laser with insta kill gave them a fun time, while improving their movement. On the other hand, they didn't enjoy Vanilla at all. Learning the movement AND all the weapons was too much at once. They ended getting killed all the time, with no chance on their own. Imo, we should consider to add Instagib ...

@The Pro '' Iirc one strong argument was that race benefits from some client modifications alot, while providing a very unique gameplay. https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds/issues/33

Add race game mode. · Issue #33 · teeworlds/teeworlds

YES! We will have it. No player collision or weapons. Must be time limited. ~10 minutes should be good. During the time, players race to get the fastest time. Players can reset at anytime using a b...

Question: How would I send server-sided a global sound to all clients?

CGameContext::CreateSound at each player's position with a proper mask

Thx. I am very unfamiliar with this mask thing. Could you please elaborate on this?

GameContext.h has "Cmask*" functions. I think, you can try to use one of them

14:41

inline int64 CmaskAll() { return -1; }
inline int64 CmaskOne(int ClientID) { return 1<<ClientID; }
inline int64 CmaskAllExceptOne(int ClientID) { return CmaskAll()^CmaskOne(ClientID); }
inline bool CmaskIsSet(int64 Mask, int ClientID) { return (Mask&CmaskOne(ClientID)) != 0; }

(edited)

14:42

with GameServer()->CreateSound(vec2 pos, int soundId, int64 mask); (edited)

how did you enable syntax highlighting @Savander ?

add language after "` "

14:43

ugh

yeah after the thing

for example cpp

int test = 0xb00b; (edited)

i mean, tripple

[teeworlds/teeworlds] Issue opened: #1908 Considering laser jump/explosion for vanilla

imo it's a cool idea with potential to add movement abillity, here my suggestion

like in InstaShield (0.7 Instagib) explosion is triggered when laser is fired very close to the ground
laser explosion inflicts more overall damage than a usual granade explosion
due to more damage the resulting jump should of course be a little bit stronger
explosion cancels the bounce off the wall impotant!

so you can't jump and wall bou...

they have to be in the same line

14:45

without space

ah got it

$cool = "Its super cool"

Ok, cool. But what exactly is the cmask for and how to use it?

I don't know if i understand it correctly, but you can try to mask everyone, except one

https://www.quora.com/What-is-called-masking-in-the-C-language

What is called masking in the C language? - Quora

In computer science, a mask is data that is used for bitwise operations, particularly in abit field. Using a mask, multiple bits in a byte,nibble, word etc. can be set either on, off or inverted from on to off (or vice versa) in a single bitwise o...

CmaskAllExceptOne

14:47

in for loop, and send sound to each player

14:47

at their positions.

I think you mean the other one, CmaskOne

hm, maybe.

Thanks for the link, but I still don't understand how they affect the sound.

The mask, indicates which player will "hear" the sound? Right?

CreateSound generates sound packets for clients, it'S a multicast operation the mask tells the function which clients to send packets to

the mask tells who to send the sound to

Ok. CMaskAll sends the packets to all clients then.

oh, right. Now i understand how it works.

Further then, most clients won't output the sound, as it is too quiet?

CMaksOne, set a bit "on", for a clientId position

14:53

CmaskOne(3) =>

   1000
&  1111
=  1000

(edited)

Isn't this CMaskOne(8)?

no, because you are working on bits

14:57

it's 3 position

14:58

not 3 like a 11 in bit representation (edited)

15:00

What happens when using CMaskAll then?

I think, it will send to everyone (edited)

every bit is set to 1

that one is weird for me, because it returns -1 (edited)

yeah 0xffffffffffff

15:02

or whatver the f count is

15:03

all you want to do @Slayer *gV*

15:03

for(player) createsound(.... cmaskone(playerid))

It looks like, -1 = 0b11111110 (edited)

15:04

and -0 = 0b11111111 o.O

ups

But what should be the position then?

nvm, it's in some kind of "Ones' complement"

Most clients won't output the sound then for being too far away (if i choose a random pos), will they?

15:05

So, I also have to set the m_Pos to the clients pos?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two%27s_complement

Two%27s_complement

@Savander -1 = ffff = 1111111

in Two's complement it's '-1 = 0b1111111`

well there are more 1's but thats it

I just read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_number_representations

Signed number representations

In computing, signed number representations are required to encode negative numbers in binary number systems. In mathematics, negative numbers in any base are represented by prefixing them with a minus ("−") sign. However, in computer hardware, numbers are represented only ...

yes

15:05

0 is 0000

15:05

-1 ffff

And didn't scrolled lower ;D

-2 fffe

15:06

and so

@Slayer *gV* that is why I originally answered send the sound at the player's position

great, thanks

15:06

Now it's clear to me

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10493411/what-is-bit-masking

What is Bit Masking?

I am fairly new to C programming, and I encountered bit masking. Can someone explain to me the general concept and function of bit masking? Examples are much appreciated.

crisp clear

15:07

lol, bitmasking xd

@LordSk 🦋 Yeah right. Was just hoping for a one-liner. Thank you!

15:08

Now I need my very own method "SendGlobalSound", to reimplement functionally that teeworlds 0.5.2 had :/

Hm

15:11

how Flag capture sound is handled

15:11

check it out

15:11

it's global

GameServer()->SendGameMsg(GAMEMSG_CTF_CAPTURE, fi, F->GetCarrier()->GetPlayer()->GetCID(), Server()->Tick()-F->GetGrabTick(), -1);

(edited)

15:15

Actually, I really want to send the capture event sound

I see, it's handled client-side

15:15

:/

But I am not sure if I could reuse this.

You can try :o. I always trying

15:17

okay, that SendGameMsg

15:17

will print chat message on chat, with name and time.

15:18

            case GAMEMSG_CTF_CAPTURE:
                m_pSounds->Enqueue(CSounds::CHN_GLOBAL, SOUND_CTF_CAPTURE);
                int ClientID = clamp(aParaI[1], 0, MAX_CLIENTS - 1);
                if(aParaI[2] <= 60*Client()->GameTickSpeed())
                    str_format(aBuf, sizeof(aBuf), Localize("The %s was captured by '%2d: %s' (%.2f seconds)"), aParaI[0] ? Localize("blue flag") : Localize("red flag"),
                        ClientID, g_Config.m_ClShowsocial ? m_aClients[ClientID].m_aName : "", aParaI[2]/(float)Client()->GameTickSpeed());
                else
                    str_format(aBuf, sizeof(aBuf), Localize("The %s was captured by '%2d: %s'"), aParaI[0] ? Localize("blue flag") : Localize("red flag"),
                        ClientID, g_Config.m_ClShowsocial ? m_aClients[ClientID].m_aName : "");
                m_pChat->AddLine(-1, 0, aBuf);

15:18

I think, you have to make your own function, to send sound to each player on your own

[teeworlds/teeworlds] Issue opened: #1909 Killing Sprees should be brought back

I don't know if its a bug or intended. But killing spree messages don't appear anymore. I think they should be shwon in chat like in 0.6. It just feels good to see how you are owning and to know that other people see it to. Now you sometimes don't even notice who is playing rly good. With the message you can instantly see who is owning up the server. And if its you its a great feeling!

[teeworlds/teeworlds] Issue opened: #1910 Mouse Relative Mode

0.7 uses raw input for receiving mouse delta data directly. while prior versions manually warped the mouse cursor back to the middle of screen and calculated the delta. Raw inputs are not influenced by the mouse settings of the OS like mouse acceleration. It would be nice to have an option to use the old relative mouse mode approach (see https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_MODE_WARP).
