IRC logs of Freenode #BZFlag for Friday, 2020-03-20

ZehraAh, I'd be interested. Still begs the age old question of "classic" or "modern",  SMF vs Discourse being a good example of it.00:02
allejoI think we're going back to even before classic. where we will require people to mail in letters00:03
ZehraSmoke signals. :P00:04
allejothat's too advanced00:04
blast007Zehra: my thought was maybe something custom since we really don't need much functionality.00:05
allejo^ +100:05
blast007my thought is to get 2.4.20 done, then work in 2.6 and a new server list / authentication system to make that all work with IPv600:06
blast007work on*00:06
blast007and either during development of, or after release of, 2.6, work on a group system, then a user/registration system, then a private messaging system (one that could work both in and out of the game)00:07
blast007so, gradually replace parts of the forum system with better integrated versions00:08
ZehraSeems good. Would linking accounts be a possible feature there?00:12
blast007having multiple callsigns on an account, you mean?00:12
ZehraYes.00:12
blast007that's been an idea for quite a number of years00:13
blast007we'd have to figure out how it all works in practice00:13
blast007I figure there might be an account migration once we have a new registration system, so yeah, that'd be something to figure out before that00:14
ZehraAlso, one thing I just remembered, it's unrelated to what was mentioned now, but we have a "readme" for "BeOS", which is quite dated and obsolete by now.00:17
ZehraMaybe not the readme itself, but the OS, which last had a release over one and a half decades ago.00:18
blast007Zehra: https://www.haiku-os.org/00:19
blast007not saying that it's actually a viable target platform, but there is still work happening with a BeOS(-like?) operating system00:20
blast007I don't know if there's any hardware accelerated OpenGL on it, for instance00:21
ZehraLooking through it, it mentions that it's "inspired" by BeOS and intends to be binary compatible. If BZ does run on it, probably the readme could be retitled "BeOS-like". But it seems modifications would be needed.00:30
