Devlog update (2012-07-01) Men at work
« on: July 01, 2012, 05:16:56 pm »


I'm the one in the middle that looks like Paul Newman.

Anyway, there was plenty of hard work done but not that much to show for. Fry Fry made some fixes to hopefully get rid off some eats and better sync the bullets between clients and server. He also worked on the bug that causes you to suddenly rejoin the game, and sent out a test build for some people to try and see if it helped. Unfortunately the problem still existed, and he's still working on the bug.

Shoozza is working on a solution to the server list requests not fetching LAN servers.

I worked on resizing all the menus to scale nicely with the resolution, but had to scrap that for now since our GUI framework can't properly center-align texts vertically, making it all look weird on higher resolutions. I've also continued working on making screenshots save in PNG instead of BMP. It works great on some systems, but crashes Soldat on others for unknown reasons. So I'll continue working on that.

What about using JPEG2000 for compression? It can use lossless compression. (I don't know if it's free to use publicly, though...)

Not compatible with popular image editing tools, e.g. GIMP. Not a W3C recommendation so support in all browsers is far from guaranteed. There's also some potential patent and licensing issues.

You still haven't given me a scenario where PNG would be insufficient for your needs.

Well I suggested the change to png a week or two ago, and that's mainly why you're working on it now probably :p
Maybe I was wrong about the bmp. but some webs are jpg upload only (like ESL), so to have the 2 options could be nice.

So...PNG. :)
