00:20.04michaelhhhyum
00:20.08orchidwho did the admin keys originally?
00:20.13michaelhhheek
00:20.30michaelhhhI did.. I admit it was a hack
00:20.40orchidno i like it
00:20.54orchidbut now, you cannot esily ban someone
00:20.58michaelhhhwell cool
00:21.02michaelhhhtoo many arguments really
00:21.13orchidonce you scroll to the kick option, it sorta hangs
00:21.32orchidand you cant get to the ban without cycling through all the keys several times
00:21.40michaelhhhthey took one of the options out because the client doesn't have access to ip addresses
00:21.51orchidright
00:21.54michaelhhhbut it still scrolls past it or something
00:21.58orchidi mean as admin
00:22.18orchidi just had to hand type in an ip to ban that guy on quols
00:22.41michaelhhhI can look at it, it's really annoying to fix
00:22.51michaelhhhwell strike that
00:23.09michaelhhhI can fix that sometime
00:23.21orchidwell, i just thought you should know
00:23.23michaelhhhnames are unique now, right?
00:23.27orchidyup
00:24.11orchidi should probably just bind a key combo to "ban"
00:24.20orchidbut id still have to type the ip
00:24.48michaelhhhI actually had a patch up to take care of it, to some degree, it needs some polishing
00:26.10Cleaning_boredmichaelhhh, would you be the person to talk to, then, if we really wanted a special admin channel (like "n" or "m", except for admins only?
00:26.47orchidget the cleaning over with :)
00:27.01michaelhhhI could possibly do something about that
00:27.04Cleaning_boredI can't...there's wayyyyyy toooooo much!
00:27.13Cleaning_boredit would be really great if you would!  
00:27.28michaelhhhI would make that a feature request .. I've never seen that request before
00:27.37Cleaning_boredThere are so many times that admins need to discuss something on a server and if there are more than two, you end up having to relay tht over and over to each
00:27.49Cleaning_boredwhere?  wiki?  or sourceforge?
00:27.59michaelhhhsourceforge.. "feature request"
00:28.07Cleaning_boredI thought scipio asked for it last oct, but would have to check
00:28.22michaelhhhwell put a comment under it if it's there
00:28.43michaelhhhwe *are* going to run out of keys however :)
00:29.02Cleaning_boredheh
00:29.36Cleaning_borednot until ~I~ get every feature ~I~ want!  After all, it IS "all about ME"!
00:29.46orchidheh
00:29.58orchidi thought it was about me! :-\
00:30.16Cleaning_boredfeature request = RFE?
00:30.26orchidyep
00:30.36Cleaning_boredWell, it's all about orchid and me, then!  
00:30.41Cleaning_bored(but me first)
00:30.51JBdiGrizWhy is it always about women?
00:31.01Cleaning_boredcuz CHICKS RULE!  ;)
00:31.06michaelhhhI guess some keys probably should be unbound.. like they were saying about the hide flags keus
00:32.16Cleaning_boredmichaelhhh, it's already there: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=877979&group_id=3248&atid=353248
00:32.33guuFeature Request #877979: hot-key to send msg to all other admins; Resolution: None; Assigned To: Nobody/Anonymous; Priority: 5; Status: Open
00:34.07michaelhhhalrighty
00:36.01purple_cowooh
00:36.07purple_cowthat's neat
00:36.29Cleaning_boredare the priority designations higher if the number is low or high?
00:37.20michaelhhhnot really :) ... if you assign it to someone it might get their attention more
00:37.34Cleaning_boredlike you?  ;)
00:39.38Cleaning_boredhow do you get it assigned?
00:41.11michaelhhhsomething like that, pretty sure you just change the drop down and hit submit changes
00:41.58Cleaning_boreddon't know that I can, since I didn't create it originally
00:43.11michaelhhhit's not a big deal
00:47.23michaelhhhquick how do I put a yes/no box in java/swing
00:47.44michaelhhhw/ an information thingee

01:11.49Nidhoggrthe 3 that bogusopus recommended should probably be done together, since they are all sort of related.
01:11.53Nidhoggrserver message stuff.
01:12.34Nidhoggrso, who should I assign them to? ;)
01:14.44Nidhoggrmichaelhhh, you want them?  1) option to message other admins 2) server level commands (/kick /bans /lagwarn, etc.) are seem by all admins, and 3) when someone is /kicked/banned, the server says something like joebob left server (kicked)
01:17.35michaelhhhsure
01:18.41Nidhoggrthanks.
01:19.39Cleaning_boredyay!!
01:19.46Cleaning_bored~michaelhhh++
01:21.41michaelhhhthe sdl version is completely borked on my machine.. it makes the display go weird (wavy lines/ multiple images) and then it crashes to boot :)
01:22.06michaelhhhthe non-sdl one just displays itself in a corner of the display and then works ok
01:22.18michaelhhhso if I shift resolutions back and forth it's ok.
01:22.54michaelhhhthis is a questionably up to date win98 machine though :)
01:23.37michaelhhhI think the sdl also crashes hardcore under win2k though as well, with the non-sdl one doing ok
01:23.57michaelhhhDoes sdl just support every video card? It doesn't say on its website
01:24.11michaelhhhor every video card that meets standard x?
01:25.31NidhoggrI don't use it in linux, so I haven't had problems in windows.
01:25.37Nidhoggrand mac
01:26.10Nidhoggrsourceforge is really hosed.
01:27.01NidhoggrI also haven't tried sdl yet.
01:27.15Nidhoggralthough, I think I'm going to install it and try a mingw compile.
01:27.19michaelhhhI'm in windows too
01:27.32michaelhhhI might try compiling under vc++ 7, vs 6
01:27.36michaelhhhunder win2k
01:27.49NidhoggrI'm compiling windows version with vc71
01:28.00michaelhhhI'm just surprised there is nothing on the SDL website about which cards are compatible
01:28.03michaelhhhnothing at all
01:31.21michaelhhhI figured I would go there and they would say "Your TNT 1 sucks big time and is not supported" and I could accept that
01:31.29Nidhoggrnod
01:31.32NidhoggrI agree
01:37.31michaelhhhconst PlayerIdUnusedSpecialPlayer1 = 252; // These two ids are unused at present
01:37.31michaelhhhconst PlayerIdUnusedSpecialPlayer2 = 251;
01:37.37michaelhhhsomeone actually thinking ahead :)
01:46.04Nidhoggr:)
01:46.37Nidhoggrit's taking 10-15 mins per task to assign.
01:47.00Nidhoggr:)

01:49.56Nidhoggrnod
01:50.17Nidhoggrit's nice you can do some coding.
01:50.34NidhoggrI wish I could do more than hack some perl and shell scripts.
01:51.25GrumblerNidhoggr, trust me, this is very Kindergarten-like edits....  "find 400, replace with 500"

02:04.44Nidhoggrcool

02:05.30Nidhoggrhouseguests are late.
