| The_Noah | Is there a plan to update the Windows build to VS 2019? I would do it myself but since I have problem compiling I wouldn't be able to verify it works. | 17:33 |
| blast007 | I'm still using 2017 | 17:49 |
| Zehra | Same. | 17:49 |
| blast007 | until there's a good reason to move to 2019, I'll likely keep targeting 2017 | 17:49 |
| blast007 | (for instance, if we start using or want to use some newer C++ features that require a newer version of Visual C++) | 17:52 |
| macsforme | premake may be able to generate project files for it, if anyone wants to experiment | 17:54 |
| Zehra | Changing the subject. Macsforme, what kind of effects are you looking for precisely? | 17:56 |
| Zehra | In reference to https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag/pull/208 | 17:58 |
| macsforme | I wasn't | 18:03 |
| macsforme | *I'm not | 18:03 |
| blast007 | is that (adding either geometry, such as a pattern of triangles, or some other visual effect) something well suited to a shader? | 18:04 |
| Zehra | I'm thinking of somewhat a border type outline appearing around the HUD, which is colour coded to indicate the properties of the object being driven through, such as "drive-through" and "shoot-through". | 18:07 |
| macsforme | a different visual effect, probably... the current effect of static triangles with 3D positioning would still require geometry, I think (unless a geometry shader was used) | 18:08 |
| blast007 | Zehra: drive-through and shoot-through are only somewhat related to OO | 18:08 |
| blast007 | the PR in question is about the OO effect | 18:09 |
| Zehra | With mesh being newer, I assumed making OO effect consistent with mesh was the goal. | 18:11 |
| blast007 | nope | 18:13 |
| blast007 | it was just that nobody adding the code to make it work with the newer objects | 18:13 |
| blast007 | assume that a lot of things in BZFlag are half-way completed ;) | 18:14 |
| Zehra | I wonder about mesh and 1.0 objects. =) | 18:16 |
| macsforme | making it consistent could be a future goal, yes | 18:16 |
| blast007 | macsforme: yeah, I was just wondering if it's be faster/possible to generate the additional geometry in a shader instead of pushing more geometry from the CPU | 18:17 |
| blast007 | I know *very* little about shaders :) | 18:17 |
| macsforme | we could probably make a lot more of them :-) | 18:17 |
| macsforme | I know close to nothing about geometry shaders, though | 18:18 |
| blast007 | I know that they exist.. and.. that's it | 18:19 |
| macsforme | I don't know how much support there is right now for testing whether you are inside an arbitrary mesh... that could be tricky... I know we can specify inside and outside points, but I have no idea what that is for | 18:21 |
| macsforme | we could probably refer back to Epyon's GSoC project for the random map generator... I vaguely remember discussions about them back then | 18:22 |
| Boombala | 2019 buggy | 18:24 |
| Boombala | but 2017 project builds good in 2019 with no change | 18:32 |
