| 03:33.33 | the_map | is that new? |
| 03:55.46 | Constitution | no... it seems intermittent, though |

| 04:37.08 | BZnotify | 13bzflag/062.4 147742abf 15Jeff Makey: When a mesh contains drawInfo data "hidden" in the textcoord section,... |
| 04:37.08 | BZnotify | 13bzflag/062.4 14b96fb96 15Jeff Makey: Replace NaN with zero in nboUnpackFloat() so we don't have to explicitly check for NaN in many other places. |
| 04:37.08 | BZnotify | 13bzflag/062.4 14d51c84e 15Jeff Makey: Replace README.SOLARIS contents with hints for Solaris 10. |

| 04:57.59 | BulletCatcher | Need others to test those changes, but they work for me. |
| 04:59.38 | Constitution | does it need to be on a map with any particular features (e.g., any particular use of drawinfo)? |
| 05:02.51 | BulletCatcher | Urban Jungle is the map that brought the need for 7742abf to my attention. |
| 05:03.47 | BulletCatcher | I tested the change by saving the map with an older version, and then with the change applied. The .bzw files should be the same. |
| 05:04.32 | BulletCatcher | I haven't found any other maps that use drawInfo. |
| 05:05.39 | allejo | I would think mofo's passion has drawinfo |

| 16:16.58 | Nivex | Hi folks. I found some results on Google discussing IPv6 support for BZFlag, but most are a couple years old. Has there been any recent progress on this? |
| 16:20.18 | BulletCatcher | BZFlag still does not support IPv6. Sorry. |
| 16:21.55 | Nivex | is it being worked on? |
| 16:25.10 | BulletCatcher | No. It looks like there are no major obstacles, but beyond the game server and client the list server (and possibly the forum) also need IPv6 support for full functionality. |
| 16:27.50 | BulletCatcher | IPv6 doesn't seem to be a priority for 4 people have done any recent development. |
| 16:30.33 | BulletCatcher | Make that 5 recently active developers. |
| 16:31.38 | Nivex | I'm mostly interested in being able to run a private server on v6. I'd love to help code, but C++ was a loooong time ago. |
| 16:33.59 | BulletCatcher | If you can find the motivation, we would be interested in pull requests adding IPv6 support. |
| 16:35.20 | BulletCatcher | Doing IPv6 network connections should be straightforward. |
| 16:35.22 | BulletCatcher | Slightly less important is IPv6 support in the ban system. |
| 16:36.04 | Nivex | I started doing a cursory glance at net/Address.cxx. Changing the gethostbyname() calls to getaddrinfo() and the like shouldn't be that hard, but I see a lot of int32_t variables in things like Address::pack |
| 16:36.28 | echelon | i only get ipv6 through he.net's tunnelbroker |
| 16:37.02 | echelon | so until there's univeral ipv6 adoption at the residential isp level, it doesn't seem like a priority |
| 16:37.54 | Nivex | I'm on TWC and I have native. Comcast has it available. That's a fairly large chunk. |
| 16:38.05 | echelon | fios doesn't |
| 16:38.40 | echelon | neither does cablevision |
| 16:38.50 | echelon | err.. optimum |
| 16:40.01 | Nivex | well, feel free to mark down another user who has made the request and is willing to help test |
| 16:42.15 | BulletCatcher | Thanks. We understand there is some demand for IPv6, and we recognize the inevitability of needing to support it, but it hasn't risen to "let's make it happen" status yet. |
| 16:42.46 | Nivex | how often does the packed address get used around the rest of the codebase? |
| 16:45.42 | BulletCatcher | A quick "git grep" shows little outside of Address.cxx. |
| 16:45.44 | BulletCatcher | It obviously has to be used to establish sockets, but I think most other uses are in string form. |
| 16:46.05 | Nivex | that makes things a little easier. I'll keep poking around as time permits. |
| 16:47.07 | BulletCatcher | Feel free to ask further questions here. |
