 ivand | Ugh sounds bad | 10:22:17 |
 Anarchid | Why? | 10:22:23 |
| ivand | Performance, memory footprint | 10:22:32 |
| Anarchid | Once parsed it's just a 2d table | 10:22:35 |
| ivand | Redacted or Malformed Event | 10:23:10 |
| ivand | Can you test your idea with something simpler, like a PPM file? | 10:23:19 |
| Anarchid | i'm not particular on the format as long as it is easy to export from common editors | 10:24:01 |
| ivand | Or even some bitmap, if you go for booleans | 10:24:09 |
| ivand | PPM is pretty common I think | 10:24:27 |
| Anarchid | seems to always be rgb tho | 10:24:47 |
| Anarchid | what's good about PPM? | 10:25:02 |
| ivand | Easy to parse in lua | 10:25:17 |
| Anarchid | Redacted or Malformed Event | 10:25:47 |
| Anarchid | Easier than just plopping in an existing png lib? :P | 10:25:54 |
| ivand | Idk, is it Lua only parser? No need for some binary blob laying around? | 10:26:39 |
| Anarchid | pure lua, at least so says dr. readme | 10:26:53 |
| Anarchid | fwiw an entirely opposite approach would be to use vectors, basically like startboxes | 10:27:44 |
| ivand | I've grown skeptical on Lua performance, though for one time off task its slowness can be tolerated | 10:27:50 |
| Anarchid | then render that to raster and upload to gpu and done | 10:28:03 |
| ivand | Redacted or Malformed Event | 10:28:05 |
| ivand | Yes, I was going to propose that | 10:28:16 |
| Anarchid | but also someone wrote a widget to line spam SVG's | 10:28:25 |
| ivand | Some maps define relatively circular areas and treat them specially | 10:28:55 |
| Anarchid | except a raster map has features that an outline vector doesnt, such as smoothness | 10:29:25 |
| ivand | You can calc distance from the vector, though it is slow in case of polyline | 10:30:48 |
| Anarchid | that either implies extending startpos widget with gradient support, or same with svg import | 10:31:36 |
| Anarchid | and then lobs will think they can use the rest of the svg features | 10:32:01 |
| Anarchid | and before you notice you're running javascript inside svg inside lua | 10:32:25 |
| ivand | Lol | 10:33:03 |
| ivand | Yeah try png, if it is low res enough maybe it is not that bad | 10:33:27 |
