Meeting Summaries

Saturday, September 13, 2014

Topics:

• state of libOL ( @toulouse / @satan6 )
• introduction & state of jayce ( ?? @Boreeas can't be there :( )
  • Summary since I'm not there: Common file format needed, decision ended up being 7z/LZMA2. File contains metadata as plain json file, plus two directories chunks and keyframes containing raw decrypted and decompressed files in the form 1.bin, 2.bin, 3.bin, ...
  • jayce implements this on basis of riotapi. Offers cmd-line options (--no-gui, --infile [f], --game "[region] [id] [key]", --featured), plus optional gui, so should be easily usable from outside programs. files are saved as [region]-[gameid].7z. more or less functional (infile not supported yet, gui doesn't actually show any output, but loading games works), but needs a lot of work rounding off the edges.
• state of leaguespec ( ?? @satan6 ?)
  • In particular, figure out a unified way of writing down packets
• IRC-Bot: yes, no, what features? ( ?? )
• move lol-observer out of loldevs (not good maintained, deprecated, bad quality) (@themasch)

• Keep single-repo model; centralization is good for now
• Reference implementation: yes
  • C, C++, Java considered
  • Explicit goal: portability/reusability
  • Low-profile C++ (i.e. minimal dependencies, avoid crazy magic)
  • Return to the question if unforeseen complexities arise
• Try to get more people involved?
  • Focus on reference implementation
  • Have something to show for the effort before fostering more interest
• Chat logs:
  • Summaries public
  • Detailed discussion: you're welcome to lurk moar
• Does working on this stuff put us at risk?
  • Probably not
  • Expectation that if Riot has issues they won't swiftly and unexpectedly bring down the banhammer
• License:
  • Decision not final until we've had a chance to discuss this on a GH issue
  • Code: MIT? ISC? BSD?
    • MIT
  • Docs: "whatever you want"? GPL? No license (except not holding liable)? Other?
    • Not a lot of people really know the detailed legal implications, some abstentions
    • GPL, and an obligatory beer if you meet up with one of the devs
• Not hacking - knowledge
