00:09 <madmax|pt> kind of boring...
00:09 <MaZuffeR> yep
00:10 <MaZuffeR> and i sucked :S
00:10 <i2020> your fault for creating the team you do...
00:10 <pavelo> I can't believe its over

00:10 <MaZuffeR> i think i had 9 or 10 kills in total

00:11 * madmax|pt sucked too
00:11 <pavelo> I think ill pause the next few laddles
00:11 <madmax|pt> and I usually suck even more if the game is not being that exciting
00:12 <Lackadaisical> oh garisimo got shut out
00:12 <Lackadaisical> he msgd me over msn

00:15 <madmax|pt> and I thought we're going to be only 5 :D
00:15 <Lackadaisical> heh, wouldve been more fun maybe
00:16 <MaZuffeR> we would've been screwed without whatup
00:16 <madmax|pt> I bet so
00:16 <Lackadaisical> some of the best games i had with team ss were the ones we were outnumbered
00:16 <MaZuffeR> though he's annoying
00:16 <madmax|pt> about that, really annoying :/
00:17 <Lackadaisical> did he got tk'd because he doublegrinded that last match?
00:17 <madmax|pt> Lackadaisical: Yes, on that world tron cup when we were 4/5 on 8 there were some great games
00:18 <madmax|pt> yes
00:22 <Lackadaisical> i think tui might be too strong on their side of the challengeboard
00:24 <madmax|pt> btw, you didn't experience that sudden fps drop (on that round only) after those glitches?
00:24 <Lackadaisical> no
00:24 <Lackadaisical> did you guys see that pavelo thing? where he was stuck? that was weird
00:24 <MaZuffeR> very weird

00:24 <MaZuffeR> hi durka
00:24 <Durka> hi MaZuffeR
00:25 <Durka> who was on your team ;)
00:25 <madmax|pt> after that "gold wall" in the middle of blue zone, and some more glitches like that, I had some big fps drop the following round
00:25 <Durka> lol
00:25 <Durka> madmax, mazuffer, psyko, whatup, lacks, newbie, eggcozy?
00:25 <madmax|pt> and, it wasn't anything on this computer afaik
00:26 <MaZuffeR> and pavelo
00:26 <Durka> ah, so i was rightr
00:26 <Durka> damn, good team
00:26 <Durka> we contended ;)
00:26 <MaZuffeR> we lagged ;)
00:26 <Durka> I lag in every ladle :'(
00:26 <Durka> t'sall good though
00:28 <Lackadaisical> you couldve warned us you wanted to start in the semis durka
00:28 <Lackadaisical> caused alot of irritation
00:29 <Durka> well
00:29 <Durka> we've never done that before
00:29 <Durka> 2020 always says
00:29 <Durka> if there are only 2 teams on one side
00:29 <Durka> both get byes so
00:29 <Durka> the winner team doesnt have to wait 45 minutes between semi's and finals
00:29 <Durka> i told tui we started at 1:15 (my time)
00:31 <Durka> seeing as I didn't know who we were playing
00:31 <Durka> I really had no one to tell...
00:31 <MaZuffeR> ...
00:32 <Durka> well
00:32 <Durka> i mean
00:32 <Durka> i knew psyko maz and max were playing
00:32 <Durka> but for example
00:32 <Durka> whatup said he wasnt playing but he was
00:32 <Durka> same with egg and pav
00:32 <DrJoeTron> man
00:32 <Durka> woman
00:33 <DrJoeTron> that closed beta kart racing game would be so much cooler if it didnt give me 10 fps while playing online
00:33 <DrJoeTron> the lag is terrible
00:33 <DrJoeTron> and that i didnt fuck up my kart name

22:06 <z-man> I basically wanted to see what is eating our performance, and the cockpit pretty much is it :)
22:07 <z-man> (took 75% of total rendering time in one profiling run, with a minimal scene of course)

22:17 <wrtlprnft> x_X
22:17 <Lucifer_arma> um, eek?
22:18 <wrtlprnft> text widgets are highly inefficient, that's for sure
22:18 <wrtlprnft> (aw
22:18 <wrtlprnft> */aw
22:19 <wrtlprnft> z-man: any way to check how much of that is spent on actual opengl calls and how much is overhead by the cockpit system?
22:19 <z-man> That's pretty difficult, especially calculating the full cost of openGL calls
22:20 <z-man> since they are executed asynchroneously
22:20 <wrtlprnft> how much is the map eating?
22:20 <z-man> but gprof produces a nice list of how much each function uses, you could check there for your helper functions
22:21 <z-man> sorry, don't have the numbers here, I'm on Windows
22:21 <wrtlprnft> ah
22:21 <z-man> it was along the lines of half of the cockpit total, IIRC
22:21 <wrtlprnft> I don't think there's much to be done there, the rendering is complicated
22:21 <z-man> Yep
22:23 <wrtlprnft> I should probably implement caching the widths of table cols
22:23 <z-man> And the rest of the cockpit gets less important when the scene gets more complex, my test was just me vs one or two AIs, not complicated fights
22:23 <z-man> One true thing to optimize would be to render all the cockpit stuff into textures that only get updated occasionally, then just draw those textures
22:23 <z-man> that should be especially true for the console output
22:24 <wrtlprnft> huh? the console is not even in the cockpit
22:24 <z-man> I know, I was just thinking aloud :)
22:24 <wrtlprnft> and most things in the cockpit change all the time, like rubber or speed
22:36 <Lucifer_arma> clamp the framerate to match vsync and then change the default fps to show simulation framerate rather than rendering framerate :)

22:41 <z-man> no worries.
22:43 <wrtlprnft> my cockpit is probably a lot more resource eating
22:44 <wrtlprnft> but it does cast eSensors on every frame and has a lot more gauges (all of which i use, though)

This is an LLM-free zone. In general, I am unwilling to use (fight with) any form of "GenAI" to write code for me. So, for the forseeable future, everything on this site will continue to be written by a very silly goose (wait that's me honk honk) with some parts written by other humans as well (silly hu-mon) rather than any plausible-series-of-words token-eating machine. Even my libraries are out of date, and suddenly that's a good thing!
(Although the style has changed several times and content has been added and changed, the base of this site has barely been updated since 2015. But it Ain't Broke!)
This site is also occasionally tested with older browsers, but compatibility is not guarenteed. Although, if you have an old obscure browser and something isn't working that previously did, I guess you can tell me (nelg) about it...
