Netduma Staff Popular Post Netduma Jack Posted April 24, 2019 Netduma Staff Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hi Duma Army, and welcome to the first Developer Q&A thread! This your chance to ask the team about the current development and exciting future of DumaOS. Our developers will answer you directly as soon as they can (though this won't be live). Before we begin, lets get the caveats out of the way: - Keep it on topic: If you have technical issues with your router this isn't the place to get support. We'll be redirecting and deleting irrelevant posts to keep this thread on topic. - Keep it civil: Trolling, name-calling or general rudeness will not be tolerated on this thread. Please choose your words carefully and adhere to the forum rules to avoid suspension. - Keep it brief: Our developers are hard at work and their time is precious. They will try to answer every question they can, but they might not be able to answer every one - especially if your question is two pages long! Spam will not be tolerated. DumaOS development is driven by your feedback, so we're super excited to hear from you all. If this goes well we may host more Q&A sessions in the future. Fire away with any questions you have and a developer will answer as soon as possible! raf1212, DAKOTADOCKALL, rlovell11b and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG__DOG Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 When will there be themes added to the "Themes" tab on dumaOS? Although I am not a colour-blind sufferer I do know that the red spectrum cannot be recognised by certain colour blind sufferers. I have mentioned this on other occasions which is why I would really like to see alternative theme colours for such users.

I was expecting this question :D We've got a policy these days of not announcing until it is ready. So we'll need to be slightly coy. Having said that.... I'm personally working on optimising the development process across multiple machines. After we've improved the devops it will be much easier for all developers to focus 100% on features. 6 minutes ago, BIG__DOG said: When will there be themes added to the "Themes" tab on dumaOS?

It's actually already in existing firmware it's just a little buggy so we disabled it in 1.3. Feel free to suggest any ideas and ask if they are possible or not?

Do you mean just standard cheaters in games like Pubg? I haven't done too much research into this area but I'd think it is unlikely as most games use what's called an "Authoritative server" paradigm. This means that the server decides which actions occurs (especially in paradoxical situations) rather than the client. Since the router is a middleware device it can't perform the servers job for authorising legitimate actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Great idea guys, is it possible to have a ping assist max and minimum range so it will only connect between the range? that way you could search for between 30-35ms if you find servers in that range play better say. Doing this would rule out potential misallocated servers when using the the geo circle to get a further afield server.

If not can a color wheel be integrated so we can choose our own colors for everything? There's currently no plans to let people make their own theme. After the release of 1.4, we're hoping to roll out loads - maybe we could let people suggest ideas/colours and Josh, our UI designer, can work with those when developing new themes.

Adding maximum should be trivial! titofuenla, Zennon and Scythe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zennon Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Is there a way that you can see the pings of the players in a lobby before the game starts and we can set a max player ping per lobby, so if it at a range of say a max of 60ms and a player was connected at 75ms to that lobby it would kick us back so we can search again. High ping players are the bain of cod it throws the sync right out of the window, this feature would be a god send to me.

progprogprog Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Even have a slider similar to congestion control where we could increase or decrease your own ping (within limits)such as netem https://netbeez.net/blog/how-to-use-the-linux-traffic-control/ to balance out the lobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpz44 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Is there any plans for a Duma only router (R2) or is this not allowed due to conflicting interest due to partnership with Netgear, reason I ask is because fimwares could be released faster than currently DAKOTADOCKALL and Flipmode 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A theme in colour similar to this by Linksys on their 32X router. I am suggesting a similar colour scheme not a redesign. The colours would be easier to see for colour blind users and mayless help others with eye strain. Or that of Asus routers in colour?

High ping players are the bain of cod it throws the sync right out of the window, this feature would be a god send to me. I've thought of doing this before. We'd need to do research to see if it is feasible. And it wouldn't work on dedicated servers (unless there is P2P voice chat). So unfortunately would not work for PubG, Fortnite, Apex, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
