16:46 sfan5      it would be nice if the cloud or textured background was seamlessly kept between the main menu and the loading screen
16:54 [MTMatrix] <Zughy> And it'd be great if games/servers could use a custom loading screen. Is it already doable?
16:56 sfan5      games? no. servers? that's kind of impossible
16:56 sfan5      you can't ask the server how the loading screen should look before establishing a connecting
16:56 sfan5      connection*
16:59 [MTMatrix] <Zughy> From the 2nd login (?)
17:01 sfan5      I guess that could work but from a technical perspective that's a poor workaround IMO
17:11 rubenwardy the hello packet from the server could customise the loading screen, or it could be included in the serverlist payload (which is meh as it doesn't work with LAN/unlisted servers).
17:12 rubenwardy but holding the connection up to transfer images for the loading screen is a bit lame
17:12 sfan5      I was thinking it would be cool for games to choose the sky color, customize the cloud parameters and also opt to enable stars
17:29 sfan5      wow great I wrote template code that doesn't compile only on msvc
17:42 sfan5      now gcc fails with an assertion?!
18:24 grorp      sfan5, rubenwardy: do you have any remaining concerns regarding #14075? otherwise I'd like to merge it soon-ish

18:25 sfan5      sounds ok
18:44 sfan5      hey I managed to convince msvc to compile my template
19:49 [MTMatrix] <Zughy> RE sfan custom sky: I wouldn't spend time on something that will hopefully be replaced eventually
20:03 sfan5      I don't plan to work on it
20:10 Mantar     I wish we could supply a starmap to the star system, or even a seed number, instead of just having them 100% random
20:18 Krock      say hello zo pseudo-random noise
20:19 Krock      s/zo/to/
20:26 Mantar     basically I'd like to have recognizable constellations in Exile
