| 17:33.22 | The_Noah | Is there a plan to update the Windows build to VS 2019? I would do it myself but since I have problem compiling I wouldn't be able to verify it works. |
| 17:49.01 | blast007 | I'm still using 2017 |
| 17:49.14 | Zehra | Same. |
| 17:49.54 | blast007 | until there's a good reason to move to 2019, I'll likely keep targeting 2017 |
| 17:52.00 | blast007 | (for instance, if we start using or want to use some newer C++ features that require a newer version of Visual C++) |
| 17:54.28 | macsforme | premake may be able to generate project files for it, if anyone wants to experiment |
| 17:56.54 | Zehra | Changing the subject. Macsforme, what kind of effects are you looking for precisely? |
| 17:58.58 | Zehra | In reference to https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag/pull/208 |
| 18:03.13 | macsforme | I wasn't |
| 18:03.36 | macsforme | *I'm not |
| 18:04.50 | blast007 | is that (adding either geometry, such as a pattern of triangles, or some other visual effect) something well suited to a shader? |
| 18:07.26 | Zehra | I'm thinking of somewhat a border type outline appearing around the HUD, which is colour coded to indicate the properties of the object being driven through, such as "drive-through" and "shoot-through". |
| 18:08.23 | macsforme | a different visual effect, probably... the current effect of static triangles with 3D positioning would still require geometry, I think (unless a geometry shader was used) |
| 18:08.56 | blast007 | Zehra: drive-through and shoot-through are only somewhat related to OO |
| 18:09.03 | blast007 | the PR in question is about the OO effect |
| 18:11.57 | Zehra | With mesh being newer, I assumed making OO effect consistent with mesh was the goal. |
| 18:13.28 | blast007 | nope |
| 18:13.45 | blast007 | it was just that nobody adding the code to make it work with the newer objects |
| 18:14.03 | blast007 | assume that a lot of things in BZFlag are half-way completed ;) |
| 18:16.28 | Zehra | I wonder about mesh and 1.0 objects. =) |
| 18:16.43 | macsforme | making it consistent could be a future goal, yes |
| 18:17.10 | blast007 | macsforme: yeah, I was just wondering if it's be faster/possible to generate the additional geometry in a shader instead of pushing more geometry from the CPU |
| 18:17.31 | blast007 | I know *very* little about shaders :) |
| 18:17.49 | macsforme | we could probably make a lot more of them :-) |
| 18:18.51 | macsforme | I know close to nothing about geometry shaders, though |
| 18:19.34 | blast007 | I know that they exist.. and.. that's it |
| 18:21.01 | macsforme | I don't know how much support there is right now for testing whether you are inside an arbitrary mesh... that could be tricky... I know we can specify inside and outside points, but I have no idea what that is for |
| 18:22.16 | macsforme | we could probably refer back to Epyon's GSoC project for the random map generator... I vaguely remember discussions about them back then |
| 18:24.48 | Boombala | 2019 buggy |
| 18:32.05 | Boombala | but 2017 project builds good in 2019 with no change |
