OkinaMataraMinor suggestion for change on death event data...00:46
OkinaMataraInclude playerTeam, as while killerTeam does exist, playerTeam does not exist. This removes a minor inconsistency and could simplify any plug-ins which may use such data to factor in team kills and the like.00:48
OkinaMataraAlso updates playerDeathFinalized event as well.00:49

blast007woo, that bzflag-embedded fork ran on the Librem 5.  The phone did appear to crash when I exited the client though, so that's a thing.11:20

ashvalaI ran bz on a notched MacBook Pro. Outside of Apoc, it’s a pretty smooth experience 14:55
ashvalaAlso, as it turns out, bz kinda can stretch up to the notch if you set the resolution to the display’s native one. Lowering it to something like 2560x1600 makes it stay under the notch magically. 14:57
blast007that's an M1?14:57
blast007and with Apoc do you mean the FPS is low?14:58
*** Sgeo <Sgeo!~Sgeo@user/sgeo> has joined #bzflag15:07
ashvalaYeah, the FPS stutters between 50 and 120 on apoc15:26
ashvalaand yup, m1!15:26
blast007wonder if it'd be any better with a native build15:29
ashvalaProbably. How difficult would it be to use Metal on macOS? 16:36
blast007that'd be quite a project16:38
blast007by native I was just meaning an arm64 build, not Metal16:38
blast007I don't forsee us ever adding Metal rending code.  Maybe we'd move to something like bgfx that can target multiple graphics APIs including Metal.16:40
ashvalamaybe building bzflag-embedded is a good place to start for an ARM build? 16:46
blast007nah, the regular source tree is fine16:47
blast007the embedded is more about things like using OpenGL ES and adding touch support16:47
blast007I don't recall seeing this document when I was trying to build a universal binary earlier this year, so I might have to try again: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/building-a-universal-macos-binary16:49

ashvalalmk if you want me to test builds out, I’m more than happy to. 16:53
blast007ok17:00
blast007I know macsforme has also mentioned he may get an M1 system.  IIRC he was really hoping for an updated Mac Mini with one of the better M1 chips.17:01
