# 2022-02-13 Weekly Meeting

###### tags: `weekly-meeting`

### Topics:

#### Issues

https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/750 - this predates https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/merge_requests/2730, is it solved by that?

- Closed, Angel will investigate later if he likes

https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/58 - partially addressed by https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/merge_requests/2126, RFC to add lag compensation (which may allow making client-authoritative non-default) at https://gitlab.com/veloren/rfcs/-/blob/master/open/0020-client-server-interaction.md

- Worked on with !2126
- Some issues with lag in certain cases (server authoritative is preferable for combat, but client authoritative makes climbing easier; with the solution in the RFC, it might be possible to make climbing work equally well with server authoritative)
- Server authoritative should be default?

https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/963 - some sound effects were moved to an outcome-like system for NPC AI in https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/merge_requests/2138, but there may still be characterstate sounds that aren't reflected into that

> (From @Sam) Since we still use sfx mapper, I don't think any progress has been made. New stuff added has gone through outcomes though. But all the old stuff still uses sfx mapper

https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/1052 - were the failing tests fixed, or the threadpool system improved?

- Should be fixed
- @xmac will close

https://gitlab.com/veloren/veloren/-/issues/1147 - looks like there was some discussion on this issue after the gfx-pre-ll tag was added, was it resolved?

- Closed by imbris
