12:17 <@schmorp> i do list all libs manually for pclient

12:17 <@schmorp> remind me of it

- IMPORTANT; persistent podache
- IMPORTANT: vidmode change considered harmful
- IMPORTANT: password-entry dialog (query!) not hidden, should be fixed
             together with removing query dialog altogether.
- IMPORTANT: toggle stats/messgae log window to visible while character creation is active.
- IMPORTANT: history for completer (cursor-up)

- message log/textview flickers on update.
- binding window and editor layout broken for long recordings
- sorted spell dialog + second spell bind dialog with checkboxes: invoke and cast distinction
  (use popups, not buttons)
- minor: skill list which shows XP and lets u bind stuff

should be solved/investitaged before release:
- make a real "table" for the spell list (not long strings like lvl: xxx sp: xx)
  and add column titles (also for other tables like inventory and bindings)
- log messages received and commands sent to ~/.crossfire/log.$ip
- the binding editor should have a append-record mode or something like that
- cairo/win32 looks like shit (premultiplied alpha bug?)
  (despite horrendous efforts, this is likely not fixable except by building a custom
  libcairo for win32).
- Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x11f5d98 during global destruction.
  (after starting, press quit)
- better focus management: put focus onto active windows, remove it again later
  (mainly to speed up gui interaction when map isn't important).
- add menu itemds for inventory items for UNcommon actions: mark/inscribe etc.
- enter runmode when cursor-key repeats (maybe not?)
- mapmap (overview) - scroll visible area by clicking/dragging
- split up gauges into: head, body and foot, so that contents begin in the interior of gauges
- maybe move window managing functionality into toplevel
- better window management (graphical feedback)
- the player weight somehow updates strangely when dropping/picking up

low priority:
- use more graphical frames/separators to make dialogs more eye-pleasing/clean.
- investigate fill widget option.
- win32, fow_tetxure sometimes nukes other textures
  (mostly fixed, but still there: displays list and texture uploads do not go well together)
- get rid of ScrolledWindow special case and use draw_xywh rectangle inside TextView for optimisation.
- completer should know more about arguments, e.g. cast summon pet monster,
  or that some commands do not take arguments ("drop all").
- textview should not snap to bottom on resize.
- alt+cursor == diagonal
- look into extendedmapinfo
- save only dirty cached maps, and save dirty maps != current map
- try to synchronize local animation speed with server updates to save on screen refreshes.
- player list from server for tell etc. commands
- examine etc., should use extendeddrawinfo or sth. similar
- maybe use outline fonts/effect for statusbox and floorbox (and health gauge stats etc.).
- fow intensity => fow color (greyscale, just rename), add fow darkness slider, too
- performance: use texture collections for upstream server data instead if gobs
  of small textures.
- when mipmapping upstream data files, run a fatten pass so pixels with alpha=0 don't negatively
  affect neighbouring visible pixels (border bleeding).
- pango fontsize measure and decrease to achieve real pixel height

TEMPORARY SERVER TODO:
- palyer peaceful setting should be independen of game peaceful setting
  (i.e. one should be able to become hostile against guards but still
  be peaceful - the palyer peaceful would be toggled by priests and shown
  in who, the game peaceful steting would be toggled by the peaceful command
  but not otherwise shown).
- pippij wants playerstealing to work between hostile players
- attempt_jump tries to kick jumped-into monster,s but doesn't work
- 1) If you hide, and someone can see you trying to hide, you'll get a
  message, even when you can't see that other person.
- 2) hiding exp is always 1, independant of how difficult it is to hide
- 3) jumping into monsters does no damage, even though it's supposed to 
  be an attack (mentioned before). You also get no exp for this
- 10) (feature request): bug/typo/idea commands to automatically log
  your comments, with the mentioning of the current map (and perhaps an
  item, if you do 'bug <item>').

   To achieve a more complete blending, you can have your drawing engine rasterize each transparent object more than once, altering in each pass the blending mode, object alpha channel, and buffer write masks. The first pass should perform RGB blending. Accordingly, you should disable writing any alpha channel or z buffer data during this pass.
   /*first pass*/
   glColorMask(TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, FALSE);           /*disable alpha channel*/
   glDepthMask(FALSE);                             /*disable Z buffer*/
   if (premultpliedTransparency)
       glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
   else
       glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
   /*render the object here*/

   On the second pass, you should set the frame buffer alpha channel value to (1- a s )(1- a d ). To do this, you need to render the object again, with a different alpha value, as follows:
   /*second pass*/
   glColorMask(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE);         /*enable alpha channel*/
   glDepthMask(FALSE);                             /*disable Z buffer*/
   glBlendFunc(GL_ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA, GL_ZERO);
   /*render the object with alpha replaced with 1-a*/

   Finally, the third pass should replace the value in the alpha channel with the final value 1-((1- a s )(1- a d )). To do this, you need to render the object again, with its alpha value set to 1, as follows:
   /*third pass*/
   glColorMask(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE);         /*enable alpha channel*/
   glDepthMask(TRUE);                              /*enable Z buffer*/
   glBlendFunc(GL_ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA, GL_ZERO);
   /*render the object with alpha replaced with 1*/

99	To achieve a more complete blending, you can have your drawing engine rasterize each transparent object more than once, altering in each pass the blending mode, object alpha channel, and buffer write masks. The first pass should perform RGB blending. Accordingly, you should disable writing any alpha channel or z buffer data during this pass.
100	/first pass/

102	glDepthMask(FALSE); /disable Z buffer/

105	else
106	glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
107	/render the object here/
108
109	On the second pass, you should set the frame buffer alpha channel value to (1- a s )(1- a d ). To do this, you need to render the object again, with a different alpha value, as follows:
110	/second pass/
111	glColorMask(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE); /enable alpha channel/
112	glDepthMask(FALSE); /disable Z buffer/
113	glBlendFunc(GL_ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA, GL_ZERO);
114	/render the object with alpha replaced with 1-a/
115
116	Finally, the third pass should replace the value in the alpha channel with the final value 1-((1- a s )(1- a d )). To do this, you need to render the object again, with its alpha value set to 1, as follows:
117	/third pass/
118	glColorMask(FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, TRUE); /enable alpha channel/
119	glDepthMask(TRUE); /enable Z buffer/
120	glBlendFunc(GL_ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA, GL_ZERO);
