12:17 <@schmorp> i do list all libs manually for pclient
12:17 <@schmorp> will have to do that for gce too
12:17 <@schmorp> remind me of it
12:17 <@schmorp> qwhen i next bundle it

- PANGO: create upstream-patch for inclusion into pango
- SERVER: document ext/mapinfo and cfplus.ext
- SERVER: memleak like hell: probably event-related?
- LONG-TERM: party member health etc. status
- LONG-TERM: map landmark labels
- LONG-TERM: player on map name
- LONG-TERM: monster health-bars on map

- fog-of-war is off by one, (elmex; i've seen this the last time i played)
- using the f-keys to access the spellbook => no scrollbar, no initial size request => cramped together
- IMPORTANT: inventory sorting only works after having it selected, not initially after startup.
- IMPORTANT: server-protocol/upgrade etc.
- IMPORTANT: good installation instructions/problem faq.
- IMPORTANT: database creation parameters borked - fix and find upgrad epath
- FEATURE: beside the floorbox, have a recent inventory items box

should be solved/investigated before 1.0 release:
- should not segfault when no soundcard installed.
- (schmorp) L<glossary/range slot> not working. L<xx/bbb> should look like bbb. Maybe support // and *?
- when in history "mode", completer cannot access completions at all
- <tt> not working on windows ?!
- binding keys is too complicated in the general case => disucss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- IMPORTANT: Can't locate object method "ask_for_bind_and_commit" via package "CFPlus::BindingEditor" at /localvol/root/src/CFPlus/blib/lib/CFPlus/MapWidget.pm line 219.
            ^^^^ when pressing shift-insert
- offer common options such as use_skill sense xxx etc. in inventory via menu?
- buttons should support hovering visually
- notebooks should provide visual feedback (support from button class?)
- floorbox out-of-screen after resizing (schmorp)
- identify inventory hover slowness and fix it (schmorp)
- use more graphical frames/separators to make dialogs more eye-pleasing/clean
- inventory: maybe drag&drop, otherwise two containers side-by-side makes little sense.
- inventory: maybe always use categories (locked etc.) and let drag&drop decide wether an item is locked or not
- playerbook/skills should have sensible tooltips with skill descriptions
- error dialog boxes for important errors (try login to 1.2.3.4 and search for the connection timeout message)
- NPC dialog box should have close button which finishes the dialog
- mapmap (overview) - scroll visible area by clicking/dragging
- binding window and editor layout broken for long recordings => use scroller
- maybe open the help viewer on the first start, or a simple dialog that
  initially lists keybidings for gcfclient converts.
- maybe support mb4/mb5 on selected widgets to facilitate scrolling
  (inventory, spell list, messge log...) => marc
- maybe the top fancyframe border should be larger (for close button and title to be more visible?)
- but fullscreen => minimize (alt-esc) => no way to go back [windows]
- spell list => scroll down => "Pickup" => scrollbar not updated
- what happened to the dialog being shown when modifiers are pressed, showing
  keybindings for this modifier?
- add menu itemds for inventory items for UNcommon actions: mark/inscribe etc.

post-1.0:
- Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x11f5d98 during global destruction.
  (after starting, press quit)
- currently the font texture cache leaks "memory" (see texcache.c:tc_put)
- when mipmapping upstream data files, run a fatten pass so pixels with alpha=0 don't negatively
  affect neighbouring visible pixels (border bleeding).
- examine etc., should use extendeddrawinfo or sth. similar
- player list from server for tell etc. commands
- save only dirty cached maps, and save dirty maps != current map
- look into extendedmapinfo
- completer should know more about arguments, e.g. cast summon pet monster,
  or that some commands do not take arguments ("drop all").
- sliders do not change size after reconfigure.
- enter runmode when cursor-key repeats (maybe not?)
- maybe use outline fonts/effect for statusbox and floorbox (and health gauge stats etc.).
- performance: use texture collections for upstream server data instead if gobs
  of small textures.

TEMPORARY SERVER TODO:
- implement skill_running, level 10 gives you ~speed+1, 100 ~speed+3 or so :)
- 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*/
