21:06 Krock     paramat: please add more randomness
21:06 Krock     at least to the timer
21:09 paramat   ok
21:17 nerzhul   Krock: code look good
21:17 nerzhul   paramat, what do we need to trigger that feature freeze ? if i'm correct we can trigger it this weekend no ?
21:17 nerzhul   please stop add features to core engine :)
21:19 Krock     oh right. what about converting the float values to write/readF32? should we just leave it as-is now?
21:19 paramat   well, since by feature freeze we seem to mean 'only merge blockers', that could start as soon as people agree, i'm ok with that
21:20 nerzhul   i'm fine too
21:20 nerzhul   this permits to prepare the changelog, communicate, and solve bugs :)
21:20 nerzhul   i think i will release 0.4.17.1-3 on android soon, without the scaling atm
21:21 nerzhul   i need more time to polish the scaling PR mentioned by stujones1
21:21 nerzhul   at least it will fix many issues as it
21:21 nerzhul   as is
21:21 paramat   but there's still quite a lot of work to do for 5.0.0, rotation issues, CDB improvements
21:21 Krock     well, it's a thing of precision now
21:21 Krock     it can be made backwards-compatible IIRC
21:22 Krock     also yes, modpacks need fixing too
21:22 paramat   Krock can that float stuff be left to after 5.0.0 or does it cause network breakage?
21:22 nerzhul   it will cause breakage
21:23 nerzhul   at least if done we would have clean many historical issues in the network code and breakage should not occur before a long time :p
21:23 Krock     breakage or much spaghetti/overhead code
21:23 nerzhul   we are on the breakage, go ahead
21:23 Krock     I'd also like to clean up the damage/HP handling in the network
21:23 Krock     (PR exists)
21:23 nerzhul   Krock i never cleaned up due to the falling ...
21:24 nerzhul   falling server side is very very hard :p
21:24 Krock     nerzhul: I meant the type cohesion
21:24 nerzhul   oh right
21:24 nerzhul   the u8 vs s16 vs u16 ? if i remember :p
21:24 Krock     yes
21:25 nerzhul   go ahead then
21:25 Krock     I changed it to u16, s32 for calculations with damage
21:25 nerzhul   it's time to polish that
21:25 Krock     for overflow and underflow reasons
21:25 nerzhul   why not u32, s64 ?
21:25 nerzhul   many problems in our API ?
21:25 Krock     well, do we need more than 65000 HP?
21:26 nerzhul   if a server implement leveling maybe ? i don't know :p
21:26 Krock     it would be possible to do, but numbers get out of hand very quickly for this scale
21:26 nerzhul   on wow we have 3k hp on vanilla, at mop (5.0 we got 600k hp) :p
21:26 nerzhul   and yeah my parenthesis are crazy
21:26 Krock     I think you meant 5390275957 HP vs 5348259347 HP
21:26 nerzhul   then keep the 65k :)
21:27 nerzhul   it should do the trick for many users :)
21:31 paramat   "breakage or much spaghetti/overhead code" well then i prefer breakage and do before 5.0.0
21:31 nerzhul   we can include that in the freeze, it's an historical code fix :)
