Teeworlds - development

@Dev make in 0.8 or 0.9 a story mode or adventure mode

Is it crazy that I want to rework lineinput and doeditbox?

17:23

~~I'm trying to add IME support while i'm at it. But two sets of input handling code is kinda redundant~~ (edited)

was looking at ddnet repo

17:38

my bad.

17:40

but still, DoEditBox could use a CLineInput instance instead of passing events to a static method. That way is easier to manage the state of input; therefore easier to signal when to enabled/disable IME.

if you're unsure whether you should rework a module of teeworlds, you can open a github issue about it

will do

17:47

did you test whether the textrender refactor solves the lag you've noticed before?

no

could use some testing and review if you have the time.

It might only lag when one of those pages needs to be regenerated

17:53

Didn't test it but I hardly ever experienced it anyway

i actually couldn't make it visibly lag even when pages are dropped. Glyph rendering is much faster than I thought.

I guess it only lags right now when a lot of characters need to be regenerated

I don't know how to stress test it tbh. dumping messages into a server actually crash the server EeveeShy

The pages probably contain less characters than a texture in the current implementation

and probably should test larger fontsize as well.

17:56

they can fill up the texture really fast..

Did some tests with msdf. Generating it is faster than I thought. But for chinese characters you probably need a size of 42+ pixels =\

=/

For latin chars even 16 is enough for some fonts

TinySDF looks ok with 48px

17:58

32px is passable

17:59

for CJK

17:59

as long as the edge are sharp, i don't actually care if the edge are a bit squiggly.

Yeah. 32 is okay, 42 only has a few artifacts, 48 is kind of perfect

I'd assume msdf is way better than sdf anyway

I need to fix a few issues with glyph placement and add outlines, then I'll upload a version for testing

i look forward to it

18:02

I think you can scale the texture to the font base on it's metric.

18:03

i'm guessing metric usually tells how much info you need to make it look at least good?

18:03

we probably don't want a special check just to render CJK and latin differently (edited)

Right now I'm just using 42 for everything. It can be optimized later

I'm still using the vanilla atlas which is wasting a lot of space anyway. Shouldn't be too hard to merge it into your code :)

you can put any size in to the atlas, the atlas packer will gladly take it

[teeworlds/teeworlds] Issue opened: #2706 Extending CLineInput to be more flexible.

Currently DoEditBox pulls events from Input and calls CLineInput::Manipulate manually. We should use an CLineInput instance alongwith DoEditBox and extend CLineInput to be allow it to be activated or deactivated. Reason being:

easier to tell when to call SDL_StartTextInput() and SDL_StopTextInput()
manage a global caret position like most UI kit do, and signal unicode input method editor where to put the composition window.
keep clipboard handling in one place and a...

Hey, does somebody have the vector graphics for the original tile sets? Would he/she be so kind to share them public?

i'm actually curious why the vector graphics aren't part of datasrc and being compiled at build time.

because some of them we don't have, some of them we aren't allowed to share publicly

i mean, its easy to recreate them in inkscape, whats the sense for whoever owns it to keep it privat xD

20:38

"All content under 'data' and 'datasrc' except the font (which has its own license) is released under CC-BY-SA 3.0 "

its easy to recreate them in inkscape

@android272 worked hard to recreate them for like a year, and it still wasn't really there. I'm not an artist but it definitely doesn't look easy

20:40

whats the sense for whoever owns it to keep it privat xD

they don't want other people to easily modify their work, I imagine

ok thx anyway

Not very much in the teeworlds mindset

agree

artists think differently maybe.

already had arguments with oy about this

ngl. for years i thought oy was a merge bot.

xD

but i didn't even know how to use git back then.

haha, that's funny

21:10

it does sound like a bot

and everytime you go on github you just see oy merged something doesn't help
