| 02:24.23 | macsforme | if we redo the UI and textures, going forward what maximum display resolution do we want to target? |
| 02:25.09 | macsforme | I see there are 8K televisions coming, but computer displays seem maxed out at 4K or 5K right now? |
| 02:38.45 | The_Noah | IWhat resolution textures |
| 02:38.53 | Zehra | I noticed one issue on a plug-in of mine, but cannot remember the precise workaround used for it. |
| 02:38.54 | The_Noah | should be made |
| 02:40.42 | Zehra | The following code section is being used, but it does not provide any data after the check, hence why I'm able to know it is this precise code. if (grabData->flagType == "TH") |
| 02:42.22 | allejo | if grabData is an instance of bz_eFlagGrabbedEvent, then flagType is a `const char*` which doesn't have the `==` operator |
| 02:42.42 | macsforme | yeah, that's not how you compare C-style strings |
| 02:44.08 | Zehra | Dam it, thought it was bz_apistring. |
| 02:44.16 | macsforme | bz_ApiString(grabData->flagType) == "TH" |
| 02:45.10 | allejo | or `strcmp(grabData->flagType, "TH") == 0` |
| 02:45.18 | macsforme | or #include <cstring>, strcmp(grabData->flagType, "TH... yeah :-P |
| 02:45.24 | Zehra | I'll stick to C style for my sanity. |
| 02:45.37 | allejo | or `"TH" == grabData->flagType` (I think) |
| 02:46.33 | macsforme | how would that work? |
| 02:53.35 | Zehra | Cannot convert argument 1 from 'bz_ApiString' to 'const char*'. |
| 02:55.32 | macsforme | reverse them |
| 02:57.51 | macsforme | the bz_ApiString goes first |
| 02:58.29 | Zehra | Adding ".c_str()" seems to fix it. |
| 03:03.23 | macsforme | now you have the same problem you did before... comparing two C-style strings |
| 03:06.28 | Zehra | That's not an issue with strcmp... |
| 03:09.23 | blast007 | if you're using strcmp, then what are you using .c_str() on? |
| 03:10.42 | allejo | macsforme: "TH" would be of type std::string, which does have an `==` operator. or at least that's the logic i'm thinking |
| 03:11.30 | blast007 | "TH" would not be a std::string |
| 03:12.24 | allejo | welp, nvm then |
| 03:12.51 | Zehra | Shot data, but previously it seemed using c_str() worked on grab data. |
| 03:13.03 | blast007 | Zehra: stop being vague |
| 03:15.32 | Zehra | blast007: My bad. The first issue was that while using "if (grabData->flagType == "TH")", compiled, it did not end up doing what was expected, as during debugging, the process failed right there for no good reason. |
| 03:16.32 | Zehra | This was a simple check, before either doing some changes to a few arrays for logic or calling a few functions. |
| 03:17.12 | Zehra | So it caused me to wonder what "might" have gone wrong. |
| 03:19.29 | Zehra | Thus some small changes had to be made to fix it and I had to also adjust some of the sections in the shotdata code I was using (by adding '.c_str()') and mistakenly assuming that it had to be part of "grabdata" as well. |

| 18:41.27 | macsforme | any thoughts on my question about screen resolutions to target? |
| 18:45.39 | allejo | I'd say 4k at most. do you see us going to a platform any time soon that it'd be played on an 8k tv? |
| 21:30.17 | blast007 | why would the UI not work at higher resolutions? |
