Sorting player list by first/last seen

[theY4Kman]

When I enter notes for players, it's usually after the game has completed. I use the quick note screen to enter things, but often I'm interrupted by a new match — after which the quick note screen disappears, and the player list takes its place. If I don't remember the names of the players from last match, it's often impossible for me to leave a note for them. (Sometimes, I'll pop open a Python shell, load in the player_counter.json file, and sort by timeMet/updatedAt just to find them again.)

It would be nice if the in-game player list window could be sorted by timeMet/updatedAt

That's a good idea. I'm curious if ImGUI has easy-to-implement sorting like that for tables. If we added the timeMet/updatedAt properties to the table as columns and then you could just click on the header to sort by that column, that'd be neat. Unfortunately I don't really have time at the moment to put in dev time for this, but feel free to attempt it yourself! I'm open to PRs.

In the meantime, a workaround is to not queue for the next match until you're done writing notes. Simple but effective!

Word up. Once I figure how to build the plug-in on Linux, I'm sure I'll throw a PR up

Alright, 84 tabs later, from "msbuild linux Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" to "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BUILDING CPP TARGET IN RIDER", I think I'm done trying for tonight. One day, I'll figure it out.

Oh boy, building in Linux? Does bakkesmod even work in Linux? 😮 Ya, it'd definitely be easiest to build from visual studio. It should "just work" 😅

[theY4Kman]

Surprisingly enough, it does work in Linux. Playing the game under Proton is still a pretty damn pleasant experience; the official injector GUI for bakkes stopped working (though, haven't tried in quite a while) after an RL update, but some wonderful people figured out an injector that does work. When it was still being figured out, I missed three things the most from bakkes: auto-queuing, auto-gg, and Deja Vu ❤️

But aye, I think I might just throw up a build server in a VM. It's surprisingly easy to compile .NET VS solutions in Linux, and surprisingly difficult to compile C++ VS solutions.

Woooo! So, I finally have good news! Using https://github.com/mstorsjo/msvc-wine, I was able to acquire a proper cl.exe for compilation/linkage, and successfully compiled the plugin with:

cl.exe /nologo /EHsc /std:c++17 /LD Canvas.cpp DejaVu.cpp DejaVuGUI.cpp  pch.cpp SettingsFileGenerator.cpp vendor/easyloggingpp-9.96.7/src/easylogging++.cc vendor/imgui/imgui.cpp vendor/imgui/imguivariouscontrols.cpp vendor/imgui/imgui_additions.cpp vendor/imgui/imgui_draw.cpp vendor/imgui/imgui_impl_dx11.cpp vendor/imgui/imgui_impl_win32.cpp vendor/imgui/imgui_rangeslider.cpp vendor/imgui/imgui_stdlib.cpp vendor/imgui/imgui_timeline.cpp vendor/imgui/imgui_widgets.cpp /I bakkesmodsdk/include /link /LIBPATH:bakkesmodsdk/lib bakkesmod.lib pluginsdk.lib /out:DejaVuPlugin.dll

I spent sooooo much time trying to get it to work with MingW, and more time than I cared with a Windows VM. I frankly didn't believe it when I saw DejaVuPlugin.dll in the folder.

Oh wow props to you for persevering! Let me know how it goes :)
