| Zehra | Hopefully for 2.6.x or past it, we will see improvements to the bzw format, in terms of size and positioning of objects. | 00:55 |

| Zehra | Currently most of the positioning of objects, such as boxes, teleporters..etc is a bit counter-intuitive. | 03:16 |
| Zehra | A box sized 10 10 10 should be perfectly cubed, although it is not, the sides being twice the width of the height. | 03:17 |
| The_Noah | Here's the thing. With map making by hand, it makes sense. But if map making was "completely" switch to using some 3D software (custom or a plugin to export) then your right it doesn't make sense. | 03:18 |
| Zehra | Height is increase from bottom, thus 10 units high and 10 units tall is 20 unit vs simply having a 10 unit block 5 units within above ground, considering the center point. | 03:19 |
| Zehra | It makes sense to some extent by hand as previously it was randomly generated maps with simple objects, but when going into anything more complex, it seems to bite users in the back. | 03:20 |

| Zehra | I'm not saying now it has to be done, but it would be nice to see this being featured as the next "possible" transition in the format. | 03:22 |
| Zehra | Considering that the format tends to change every 2 major releases or so. | 03:22 |
| Zehra | In term why I mention "hopefully". | 03:24 |

| macsforme | this issue describes the object size discrepancy plus another problem with teleporter sizes, both of which I'd ultimately like to see addressed: https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag/issues/80 | 09:07 |
| macsforme | blast007: if we weren't limited to our existing platform code structure (that is, we could start over if we wanted to), do you think it's feasible to write an interface that would work for both SDL2 and GLFW? | 09:11 |
| macsforme | or are those two just too dissimilar? I personally wouldn't mind throwing out everything else, if we could feasibly support just those two options going forward | 09:13 |
| *** I_Died_Once <I_Died_Once!~I_Died_On@unaffiliated/idiedonce/x-1828535> has joined #bzflag | 10:06 | |
| blast007 | I could probably make it work with SDL2 as well | 11:09 |
| blast007 | one big difference is that GLFW actually supports multiple monitors. SDL2 *almost* does. I don't get why they have a displayIndex for functions to get information about the displays or resolutions, but when you want to actually create a window, you can't specify a display to create the window on.. | 11:14 |
| macsforme | I think with SDL 2 you can query the relative coordinates of each monitor and position each window on the respective monitor you intend to, but I've never actually tried it | 12:41 |
| macsforme | and I'm not sure how fullscreen windows play into that | 12:43 |
