0006470: Broken Mouse Warping under Wayland. (Possibly unrelated)

Mon, 13 May 2024 11:56:10 +0200

I've noticed that mouse warping is broken on both XWayland & Wayland (SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland)

Here's what I guess what is going on,
normally (when using the terrain deformation tool) the mouse is suppose to stay locked in place, upon mouse movement the mouse is suppose to snap back, and Zero-K calculates the horizontal difference from the middle of the screen to adjust the terrain deform preview. But since mouse warping/locking doesn't work, it continuously adds the difference.

Relevant Zero-K issue with a video demonstration:

0006468: update list of springrts.com staff/moderators

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 20:09:32 +0100

https://springrts.com/phpbb/memberlist.php?mode=team

how many of these are still active on the forum? The apparent answer is "none".

I think that list should be updated to differentiate inactive or "honorary" members from the ones that are supposed to be currently responsive.

0006469: simplify/improve support chat systems (discord/matrix), bridges and references

Mon, 15 Jan 2024 14:20:49 +0100

the visibility of references to springRTS and related ecosystem discord or matrix sucks.

i didn't even notice i needed to use my lobby account to access matrix until i saw this obscure wiki entry
https://springrts.com/wiki/Matrix

About discord there's an Ares drama forum thread about the former official-but-not-quite discord that was renamed to Recoil
(https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=58459)

Atm the lobby-discord-matrix bridged channel that's sometimes useful, #sy, is only accessible through the BA discord, which will hopefully be fixed soon.

0006464: Active topics view should default to five years

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 19:45:03 +0200

Currently it defaults to 365 days, but that's way too low for the current activity level on the forum.

Often there are no messages for a month and it gives the illusion that the forum is even less active than it actually is.

It should default to five years or more.

0006454: spring-dedicated does not start

Sun, 23 Apr 2023 11:33:00 +0200

The spring-dedcated of builds 174 and later refuse to start.
Build 169 works for me.

I failed to find anything suspicios in the diff between the versions.

I was unable to reproduce the issue when building from source.

0006463: Active topics view should default to a year

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 17:16:31 +0200

Currently it defaults to 7 days, but that's way too low for the current activity level on the forum.

Often there are no messages for a week and it gives the illusion that the forum is even less active than it actually is.

It should default to a year or more.

0006453: Engine crashes after Gamestart

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 00:10:58 +0200

The Engine crashes, after Gamestart in Multiplayer, when dragging a selection. The infolog was incomplete, so any idea how to get additional crash information.

Crash reoccured in safemode.

So basically, i got nothing but the crash, and could use some advice to find the origin.

0006452: gcc 12 compile error

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 10:06:53 +0200

someone from chat:

i am compiling spring with gcc 12, instead of gcc 11
i had to replace:
./rts/Lua/LuaMaterial.h:279: spring::unsynced_map> objectUniforms[2];
to
./rts/Lua/LuaMaterial.h:279: spring::unsynced_map> objectUniforms[2];
some error related to "must be an unbounded array" ...
not sure it gonna work tho
this is the exact message: "template argument must be a complete class or an unbounded array"
and an array is indeed bounded
while vector is not

I think vector is not as fast as array, there must be a better option than vector.

Good luck

0006448: spring crashes when run with SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ./spring

0006444: --gen-fontconfig does nothing

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 22:03:39 +0100

On windows, invoking `spring.exe --gen-fontconfig` is supposed to take some time and then generate a font substitution cache.

This does not seem to occur when attempted. Spring just returns very quickly and refuses to render CJK characters on next run.

Additionally, to get any text output while running Spring on windows requires invoking the commands via spring-headless.

0006437: Export symbols to force use of dedicated GPU

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 23:18:54 +0100

Both NVIDIA and AMD support automated switch from integrated to dedicated card if they detect exported symbol in exe.

Add this to the code to force it

extern "C"
{
__declspec(dllexport) int AmdPowerXpressRequestHighPerformance = 1;
}

extern "C"
{
__declspec(dllexport) unsigned long NvOptimusEnablement = 0x00000001;
}

(Windows specific probably)

0006439: Buildability slope-check behaves differently on NW-SE slopes vs NE-SW slopes

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 01:13:46 +0200

See screenshot.
There are two exact same slopes but mirrored horizontally.
The exact same building is buildable on one slope but not buidable on horizontally mirrored slope (despite both having the same terrain angle and even same angles at x/z axis).

0006438: Spring.SetSunDirection() has no visible effect

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 00:45:35 +0200

Calling Spring.SetSunDirection(dirX, dirY, dirZ) has no visible effect, terrain lighting doesn't change, terrain is still illuminated in the same way as without calling it.

Although the call itself works, in the sense that subsequent calls to gl.GetSun("pos") return the new direction that was passed to Spring.SetSunDirection().

I am calling it in unsynced Gadget in DrawGenesis().
Tried calling it once, tried every frame, still no visible effect.
