10:26 celeron55  the MT server literally doesn't even have any image manipulation library linked into it
10:26 celeron55  the only thing it can do to images is transfer them as files
10:26 VanessaE   makes sense
10:27 VanessaE   so the issue is client-side and something's causing the image to gain an alpha channel with a particular amount
10:30 VanessaE   though it bugs me a little that my client throws all those alpha warnings for images that definitely had alpha originally, while at the same time rendering them "properly".
10:32 VanessaE   er
10:32 VanessaE   that definitely did NOT have alpha originally.
20:05 Jordach    i've come to a critical impasse for my game development: it's as follows
20:06 Jordach    1) implement a server downloadable CSM that bootstraps a client to allow full clientside cosmetic objects
20:06 Jordach    or 2) continue with the increasing load level of handling more entities in the server's on_step
20:06 Jordach    (current bandwith for two clients connected is 0.05mbps)
20:07 Jordach    what i wouldn't mind is servers *asking* clients of certain CSM mods exist
20:09 Jordach    i can then shove all HUD update elements into a clientside thing and just have the server asyncronously send updates
20:09 Jordach    thereby dramatically reducing the required number of packets
20:09 rubenwardy > what i wouldn't mind is servers *asking* clients of certain CSM mods exist
20:09 rubenwardy you can do that using mod channels
20:10 Jordach    they still need to be enabled *beforehand*
20:10 Jordach    i mean during the initial connection part
20:11 Jordach    as long as the basic "enable CSM" is on, the server can selectively turn on client mods
20:11 Jordach    rather than enable them globally
