2023-03-11 Weekly Meeting

Quest discussion in the #quests channel on discord.
Moderation panel discussion, a web view for moderators to see chat log, do moderator actions and see an autit log.

Main server has high load and gives bad experience to players
- combat is hardly usable
- swimming down might kill you due to collision
- we should probably lower the maximum player on the main server 250(?)
  to encourage players to use other servers as well.
Main server restarted twice, a potential way to trigger this DOS attack
got identified and fixes are worked on
IP banning would really help moderation, it is currently rebased and under review (xmac)
@catb0t: more food is waiting for stat change polish
- further feed-back is appreciated, especially in regards to which things need to be changed before merge
- Pinging @Balance or @TestingPingSquad might be a good idea
- Adopting branches is important work, because keeping the overview about all of them requires super-human memory, so bringing MRs forward is tedious but important
- @cpetig remembered the mushroom village concept which is still in limbo
Zoomy worldgen by @sharp and the aura tick reduction patch can help with the high current load,
- tick reduction is under review
UI with controllers needs work, but the #Future UI crate of voxygen transition might interfere here
Another rework is the transition to Kira (audio crate), kira itself lacks 3D support, but the bevy kira code has support
Rtsim could get ready within a month, personality and cultist raids still missing
0.15 planning
- Hannibal has started working on a map (onigashima themed)
- Perhaps in April/May timeframe

TWiV issue upcoming, contributions welcome
- with the comic explanations and the high number of players it feels like enough content to cover
- @Isse will add a post describing ongoing rtsim work
Issue 200 is waiting for completion, the 199+ numbering exists to keep the pressure to finish it
- Shanty is also waiting to resume work on it, Christof has a four voice early proof of concept (or rather two people singing all four voices and mixed)
