Lets see how I can make this look good for 0.6 clients...

10:47

this will be a compability breaking change for bridge servers

this will be compatibility breaking for 0.7 as well I suppose. This need more tunings of which we should stop sending all of them in one batch

10:49

So I think it might be better to milestone this as 0.8 feature

true

But then yeah, two layers of compatibility (in case ddnet stays 0.6 even then) will be a PITA.

10:50

pita xd

We should really be careful with 0.8 protocol design.

10:52

It should be worthwhile to let ppl upgrade with no lost features like 0.7 in the beginning

yea

rn the packet is [64] of tunes xd

The way it's set up in ddnet, it hopefully wouldn't be thaat much trouble to generate and handle another protocol

11:15

Though It'd be great if we could all finally move to a protocol that allows us to do changes like this without breaking compat at all

yeah. But you probably couldn't do much if it is a feature update tho. Even minecraft couldn't do much within a major version

11:22

The way csgo does it is pretty nice but we don't have the ability to force every user to update clients if a client bug is introduced due to the server content.

I mean protocol level compatibility e.g. new fields added to netobjects, new messages, contents of messages reordered

11:31

it'd make it much easier to upgrade mods

using string everywhere

@Stiopa could we get flag grappling option for harpoon?

You already got ideas what you want to do with the harpoon?

ye

kind of

11:53

I had an alpha version but it has been deemed to similar to existing mechanics so nothing is set in stone ^^

11:53

@Souly sounds quite cool!

May I know it?

well... I planned to make a strong hook out of it that grabs on input

11:54

u shoot the harpoon, it attaches to a hookable tile or a character, and then you might pull (yourself to hookable; the victim to you) (edited)

11:55

if it hits an unhookable, it bounces off from it

11:55

and it deals some damage on hit ofc ^^

11:55

also a meter of how much you can pull, so that you can't just perpetually pull someone

Sounds cool to be honest :3 I thought about something similar, like you shoot it against a tee and then it somehow attaches to a hookable, which will make it stuck until you somehow destroy it with your weapons

so impaling a tee to a hookable?

yeah like normally hooking at a tile but it is not your own hook

11:57

for e.x if you shoot it at a tee you can shoot another one and if you shoot it against the roof ( if hookable) it will hang like that ( without getting pulled)

ah

11:58

shoot some web at someone and stick that web to a wall kind of weapon ^^
