02:13.41lan56what happens if opengl commands to draw things are given in a program, but the program never creates a window? like, it's a console program and a separate window is never created by the program
02:19.40Patlabor221if no context is active the command will return an error
02:20.13lan56so to render using opengl you have to create a separate window?
02:20.23Patlabor221no
02:20.28Patlabor221context != window
02:20.34Patlabor221there has to be a current context
02:20.43lan56context?
02:20.50Patlabor221an openGL context
02:20.53Patlabor221rendering conttext
02:20.56Patlabor221thing to render too
02:21.05lan56how is a console window sound?
02:21.13lan56like command prompt
02:21.15Patlabor221depends on your GL driver
02:21.18Patlabor221but generaly no
02:21.27Quolany takers on checking out my latest HTF instance - I created a new map, and hopefully this will be OK for a public HTF server - until server side is ready...
02:21.32Patlabor221if you on windows you can generaly only bind RCs to DCs
02:21.44lan56dc?
02:21.52Patlabor221Device context
02:21.53lan56Quol: I will play, just one second
02:21.57lan56ahh
02:21.59Patlabor221never done any windows programing have you?
02:22.07blast007_awayhttp://nehe.gamedev.net/lesson.asp?index=01
02:22.10lan56heh, no, I am a console person really
02:22.13QuolK - great - meet you there...
02:22.18lan56what port?
02:22.32Patlabor221use SDL, it' gives you a quicky window and context
02:22.48Quolin the list - 5168 though
02:22.57Quolit should be in the list that is :)
02:23.02lan56yes, I did install SDL, works great, gives a seg fault on some examples, but some work
02:23.17lan56can opengl and sdl be used together?
02:23.21Patlabor221yes
02:23.28lan56sorry for sounding very stupid
02:23.31Patlabor221sdl can get u a context
02:23.50lan56would you happen to know the name of the function to create a context
02:25.33GeekTechnicaheh
02:25.35Patlabor221init video
02:25.50lan56SDL_init_video()?
02:26.06Patlabor221when yeah
02:26.06triclopsoh, www.libsdl.org has had a facelift
02:26.26Patlabor221if you pass it the "make me an openGL" flag, it'll make a context
02:26.27lan56great, thanks patlabor
02:26.28Patlabor221and select it
02:26.39lan56whats the name of that flag?
02:26.43Patlabor221then just do your GL then call SDL_swapBuffers
02:26.55Patlabor221I would guess the only one with OPENGL in it
02:27.03lan56:)
02:27.07Patlabor221I can find out for you in a bit
02:27.12lan56no its fine
02:27.16Patlabor221I did all this once for LGE/SGL
02:27.21lan56dont cause yourself trouble, thanks anyway
02:27.25Patlabor221I have it here
02:27.27Patlabor221one sec
02:27.30Patlabor221and I offerd
02:27.36Patlabor221if It was trouble I would not
02:28.19lan56how did you learn? college, tutorials? just curious, if you don't mind my asking
02:28.22triclopshttp://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cbro903/plg-final-pdf-no-really-i-mean-it-this-time.pdf has details on how to use SDL
02:28.30triclopswith ogl too
02:28.35Patlabor221using SDL with GL is super easy
02:28.40Patlabor221all SDL does is the setup
02:28.43lan56good, I will remember that url
02:28.46Patlabor221I just read the docs and hooked it up
02:29.00triclopslan56: i dunno how long it will remain
02:29.12Patlabor221there we are, SGL/3dView
02:29.16lan56its usually nice if you tell me how :)
02:29.32Patlabor221heck you can use SGL if you want
02:29.35Patlabor221it's even easyer
02:29.58lan56www.libsgl.org?
02:30.23Patlabor221no
02:30.23Patlabor221I made SGL
02:30.35lan56oh, well where can I find it
02:31.07Patlabor221SDL_SetVideoMode(x,y,0,SDL_OPENGL);
02:31.14Patlabor221I can zip it for you if you wish
02:31.18Patlabor221no real docs tho
02:31.24lan56no, its fine
02:31.27lan56thank you anyway
02:31.32Patlabor221hoooka
02:31.43lan56I wrote down that function
02:31.55Patlabor221that will make a window X by Y at the desktop bpp with GL
02:32.06Patlabor221add in SDL_FULLSCREEN if you want full screen
02:32.12lan56wow, I didn't think it was that easy
02:32.12Patlabor221and besure to init video
02:32.21Patlabor221SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO )
02:32.21Patlabor221first
02:32.24lan56SDL_InitVideo()?
02:32.28lan56ahh
02:32.29blast007_awaylan56: http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/SDL12/test/testgl.c?rev=1.11
02:32.31lan56didn't see that
02:32.33*** join/#bzflag bryjen (bryjen@69-165-59-244.clvdoh.adelphia.net)
02:32.43lan56I tryed that example, gives a seg fault :(
02:32.45blast007ah
02:32.53Patlabor221then debug it :)
02:33.03lan56but isn't it already debuged?
02:33.09Patlabor221aperantly not
02:33.13Patlabor221if it crashes
02:33.20Patlabor221or I can make you a helo triangle if you want
02:33.26Patlabor221after I become clensed
02:33.26lan56well, I can't since I can't fit a "printf()" in there to see how far I got ;)
02:33.34lan56no, its fine, thank you
02:33.45Patlabor221how you gonna do printf in full screen video?
02:33.47lan56:) I will use GDB, for once :)
02:34.10Patlabor221why don't you like help?
02:34.10lan56I do like help, thats why I asked
02:34.20Patlabor221be sure to call SDL_GL_SwapBuffers();
02:34.20Patlabor221glFlush();
02:34.23Patlabor221at the end of every frame
02:34.32Patlabor221and glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT | GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT);
02:34.35Patlabor221at the begining
02:34.39lan56oh, yes, I've heard of those, will remember
02:34.45Patlabor221then have fun with the matrix
02:34.52lan56the matrix?
02:34.54lan56the movie?
02:34.57lan56good movie BTW
02:35.03lan56very good, all three
02:35.11mebigfatguy3 not so much
02:35.27lan56it was ok, I liked, I liked the first the best, however
02:35.28Patlabor2213 not at all
02:35.34Patlabor221no the modelview matrix
02:35.41lan56oh :)
02:35.43Patlabor221that is the bigest GL hurdle for n00bs
02:35.50Patlabor221the fact that GL has no camera
02:36.26lan56I am glad we had this talk, patlabor, I learned a lot
02:36.32Patlabor221you did?
02:36.39lan56not really :) of course!
02:36.58lan56I learned how to create RDs, and how everything is initialised
02:37.18Patlabor221actualy it seems you didn't read anything cus I have NO clue what an RD is
02:37.24Patlabor221and I think you mean RC and DC
02:37.29lan56yes :)
02:37.32Patlabor221but they have nothing to do with SGL
02:37.35Patlabor221sorry SDL
02:37.46lan56I know, but it answered my question
02:37.55triclopsheh
02:37.58Patlabor221depending on your GL impelemntation you may not be able to even make a windows
02:38.05Patlabor221like an old voodoo
02:38.09Patlabor221only full screen
02:38.11Patlabor221no GDI
02:38.25lan56I like fullscreen better
02:38.29lan56so thats ok
02:38.45Patlabor221no debuger :)
02:38.52Patlabor221no 2d output at all :)
02:39.03lan56I dont use a debugger, remember :)
02:39.04Patlabor221unless you get some piping
02:39.07Patlabor221no printf
02:39.13lan56I know :)
02:39.16Patlabor221tho you don't have a voodoo
02:39.18Patlabor221do you?
02:39.24lan56no I dont think so

02:42.02Patlabor221bestbuy
02:42.17lan56then how come bzflag renders so nicely?
02:42.18Patlabor221GF2MXs should be under 30
02:42.30Patlabor221cus you've never seen better
02:42.38lan56lol

02:42.56lan56clear, bright
02:42.59lan56yes
02:43.15Patlabor221that card will choke on more geo
02:43.26GeekTechnicadoes your motherboard even have an AGP slot?
02:43.32Patlabor221OpenGL certification states that it will look the same
02:43.37Patlabor221how many FPS you get?
02:43.38lan56I guess so
02:43.43lan56in bzflag about 30
02:43.48Patlabor221thats it?
02:43.52blast007what res?

03:17.20bryjeni've heard there basicly funky expensive laptops right now
03:17.27Patlabor221yeah
03:17.32GeekTechnicaI'd still prefer a regular pc and a wacom pad though
03:17.32Patlabor221but I don't need a laptop
03:17.44Patlabor221I need something I can take notes and sketch out stuff on
03:17.51Patlabor221and also bring up a part if needed
03:18.14Patlabor221as you can see I'm not the best typest :)

03:19.12GeekTechnicaah
03:19.22Patlabor221at work we draw a lot of diagrams of how machine's work
03:20.10TankThiswhat is munchkin alert 3?
03:20.23Patlabor221that size would make a decent e-book reader too
03:20.34Patlabor221it's the level above 4 but not quite 2 :)
03:20.41GeekTechnicammmm ebooks
03:20.49Patlabor221isn't 3 "tang" alert?
03:20.58Patlabor221or  was that 4?
03:21.02Patlabor221I allways forget
03:21.09GeekTechnicamauve
03:21.23Patlabor221was it?
03:21.26Patlabor221what is 2 then?
03:21.39Patlabor2212 is mauve
03:21.42Patlabor2213 is tang
03:21.43GeekTechnicaah
03:21.48Patlabor221cus 4 was taupe
03:22.19Patlabor221and 5 was sea foam
03:22.27GeekTechnicawhat is 1?
03:22.34Patlabor221I don't remember
03:22.51Patlabor221I don't think we have got to 1 or 0
03:23.22bryjenis that when we start carding people to get in?
03:23.23lan56no, the other night when I said how good Saturday Night Live was it became 1 ;)
03:23.24Patlabor221I thinkw e can come down

03:23.40TankThiscondition 5?
03:24.06Patlabor221well then we must not have looked at the light
03:24.29Patlabor2211 has to be purple
03:24.40Patlabor221and 0 ultraviolet
03:24.58Patlabor221cus then we can say "purple allert"
03:25.01Patlabor221and that's fun to say
03:25.06GeekTechnicaheheh
03:25.16lan56but isn't red have the longest wave length?
03:25.34Patlabor221low band raidio is the longest wave
03:25.42Patlabor221and the rays cosmic
03:26.02lan56what is the definition of purple?

03:26.36Patlabor221it is
03:26.40Patlabor221you want the CYMK?
03:26.48lan56what's that mean?
03:26.57Patlabor221I can do RGB or pantone too

03:27.34lan56hey
03:27.42LilDoghey
03:27.53Patlabor221actualy  1 0 1 is magenta
03:27.55lan56how come #FFFFFF is white even though a monito uses pigments?
03:27.56Patlabor221not true purple
03:28.09Patlabor221depends if you are doing additive or subtractive color
03:28.16Patlabor221monitors don't use pigments
03:28.18Patlabor221they use light
03:28.22lan56white light?
03:28.22Patlabor221so it's aditive color
03:28.32Patlabor221well light of 3 colors
03:28.34lan56crayons are pigments
03:28.36mebigfatguyum, isn't ff00ff rgb?
03:28.47Patlabor221yeah it is
03:28.51Patlabor221rgb hex
03:29.00Patlabor221lan crayons are reflective
03:29.04mebigfatguyhow bout in cie?
03:29.07Patlabor221not transmiive
03:29.21lan56:( I can never get anything right
03:29.23Patlabor221crayons take color away from the white paper they are on
03:29.34Patlabor221a monitor adds light till it makes up white
03:29.42Patlabor221ink takes away light till it's black
03:30.06lan56there should be a program that counts up to FFFFFF and outputs an HTML file that shows every single color possible
03:30.06Patlabor221the things you learn in graphic design classes :)
03:30.15bryjenhttp://www.usbyte.com/common/approximate_wavelength.htm
03:30.17Patlabor221you mean the HTML color table?
03:30.19lan56maybe some colors humans can't even see
03:30.19mebigfatguyi'd hope that cmyk would have appropriate ucr applied :)
03:30.20lan56yes
03:30.21bryjenno purple, but violet

03:32.53lan56kick him
03:32.58mebigfatguythats an option in the client
03:33.00Patlabor221he ran with -solo 5
03:33.17lan56you don't want bots taking up your server, kick people with bots
03:33.19lan56and warn them
03:33.29mebigfatguyan upcoming version will allow you disallow bots on the server
03:33.29bryjennot in that order...
03:33.34Patlabor221lan56: it's his server he can run it like he wishes
03:33.49lan56I know that, just giving some pointers

04:26.18guuPatlabor221: okay
04:26.22DTRemenakPatlabor221: "indonesian" usually implies "bahasa indonesian"
04:26.22lan56or thai? hmm
04:26.27Patlabor221ahh
04:26.31Patlabor221well that was not that language
04:26.37Patlabor221bit more north
04:26.46lan56north, hmm
04:26.49DTRemenakbecause that's what travelers & traders in indonesia use

04:29.56lan56ok, I'll be quiet
04:31.25Patlabor221a simple search would tell you the translation
04:31.52lan56`notTalkingbut if it uses a different alphabet, not likely
04:32.31lan56you see, I dont know what language it is, so I dont know what is needed for a search, understandable my questioning
04:32.36DTRemenakPatlabor221: search gives strong hints, not a lot beyond
04:32.54lan56if its chinese, nobody is going to have exact english like yours
04:33.01Patlabor221actualy you all watched me tell guu what it was
04:33.19DTRemenaklan56: just search for exactly what he typed, you'll get hits - he has to have gotten it from somewhere too :)
04:33.31lan56I am guessing Jungle
04:33.41DTRemenakdon't guess, search :)
04:33.44Patlabor221~guu des?
04:34.13Patlabor221! guu des?

04:36.58Patlabor221is that a DBZ page lan56?
04:37.05Patlabor221DBZ is a banable offense
04:37.07lan56I think so
04:37.18lan56I dont really know
04:37.18lan56what is dbz?
04:37.23Patlabor221pure evil
04:37.38DTRemenaklan56: the longest phrases generally get the best results: Patlabor221 said "guu guu is Jungle wa itsumo Hale nochi Guu", so search for "Jungle wa itsumo Hale nochi Guu", which is what he told guu that guu was
04:37.39lan56well, a lot of things are, but what is it exactly?
04:37.50GeekTechnicaI'm curious Patlabor221 how did you get guu to respond to those statements?  Obviously not as an alias
04:37.57lan56no, I just give up
04:38.14Patlabor221just tell her
04:38.19DTRemenaklan56: he also gave you a nifty URL
04:38.28lan56where?
04:38.37GeekTechnicaany specific syntax?
04:38.39Patlabor221guu who am I? is <reply>Joo suxorz!

04:39.34DTRemenaklan56: anime no less
04:39.44lan56anime? isn't that a comic?
04:39.48Patlabor221noone really knows where guu came from, or what she is
04:39.53Patlabor221no, not a commic
04:39.56Patlabor221that would be a manga
04:40.04GeekTechnicahmm.. dora tells me to go screw myself when I try that
04:40.18Patlabor221you have moobotfactoids installed?
04:40.19GeekTechnicawonder if that is controlled by a certain plugin I may not have loaded

05:10.44lan56I am not here right now
05:10.54GeekTechnicame neither
05:10.57Patlabor221what do you need TankThis?
05:11.57lan56I have never heard of someone that can clap with one hand
05:11.59TankThisi got bzserver to run in my rc.local... but i shutdown the server from the bzclient... how do i launch another session without having to have my SSH session open to the server??
05:12.12Patlabor221screen
05:12.33learnerhuh?
05:12.47Patlabor221sounbds like he wants to run in th backgroun
05:12.51learneryou just launch it in the background and leave it
05:12.54Patlabor221ether screen or that character that detaches it
05:12.56TankThisi thoguht bzserver.sh launched from sh would start a new process but it doesnt
05:12.59ForthFreakTankThis: don't shutdown it then
05:13.22ForthFreakTankThis: or do     nohup bzfs &
05:13.24Patlabor221the sh is just a script
05:13.25learnerwhere'd you get bzserver.sh?
05:13.32TankThisso if i close my SSH shell to server, it stops the bzserver
05:13.47Patlabor221sure cus it's probably tied to that terminal
05:13.48learnerTankThis, that's probably just because you didn't background the job
05:13.59learnersh bzserver.sh &
05:14.10TankThisthats what im saying, i forgot how to launch a background process :(
05:14.17Patlabor221he just told you :)
05:14.23TankThisThank you!
05:14.29Patlabor221or screen if you want to reaatach later to kill it easy
05:14.55TankThisi keep X and vnc off to reduce ram consumption
05:15.02learneror if you want to get creative and keep a log .. sh bzserver.sh > /tmp/bzserver.log 2>&1 &
05:15.24TankThisyes that would be better also
05:15.54learnerbe sure to add -d -d -d to your bzfs config options (either in bzserver.sh or in a config file)
05:16.06learnerwhere'd you get that bzserver.sh, btw?
05:16.13ForthFreakoops
05:16.21TankThisoh its just a thing i wrote
05:16.26ForthFreakdidn't notice i had crypt on
05:16.44TankThisit calls the same SU command to launch it with the right .conf file
05:16.53TankThisthat is in rc.local
05:16.55learnerForthFreak, nohup is rather os-specific (and not posix, afaik) ;)
05:17.19ForthFreaklearner: yes, but he asked for linux expertise
05:19.00ForthFreaknohup exists on other unici as well
05:19.34TankThisThank you learner and pat
05:19.38learneryes it does, but not even all linux
05:20.05learnerit's distro specific .. those who preferred the old sysv toolset -- or at least support it i believe
05:20.06ForthFreakif it is not installed, probably not
05:20.43ForthFreaksame reasoning "don't run bzflag, because it doesn't come with all linuxes"
05:21.00learnerTankThis: here's a similar bzserver.sh that I use for a bzfs here .. http://bzflag.bz/tmp/bzserver-decks.sh
05:21.05*** join/#bzflag Rayeh (rayeh@pcp08881808pcs.vnburn01.mi.comcast.net)
05:22.13ForthFreaklearner: whats this decks thing ?
05:22.37learnerthat'll run bzfs until it fails for whatever reason 10 times .. the -public "description" line basically just shoves the bzfs build date in (it's for a test server)
05:22.43learnerForthFreak, hmm?
05:22.48learnerdecks!
05:23.06learnerone of the classic maps
05:23.20ForthFreakah
05:23.27TankThislearner is that a looping script so if the process dies, it stays up!!??
05:23.47learnerbzfs exits after all players have left
05:23.56learnerso it has to loop if you want it to stay up
05:24.11learnerif you want to kill it, simply kill the script
05:24.48ForthFreakone could run bzfs  (or a script starting it, followed by , say, sleep 10), from inittab as respawn ?
05:24.50learnersome of the server ops use a similar script but with random conf lines to give the perception of random rotating maps
05:25.07TankThisi used to run an unreal server (coop) on a windows box back in the day.... that win32 crap blew up every 2 hours.. so i had a looping script ;)
05:25.24learnerbzfs shouldn't die abnormally
05:25.42learnerunless there is a bug .. which is rare and usually config specific
05:26.01learnerotherwise, the looping is completely normal and was part of the design
05:26.12learnerForthFreak, why would you sleep 10?
05:26.40ForthFreakin case it doesn't start for whatever reason, that it won't get respawned too often
05:26.56learnerI have a sleep in that script if bzfs does actually terminate abnormally, since that usually means I have a half-compiled bzfs or some option is wrong (since again, this is for experimental bzfs version)
05:26.59*** join/#bzflag sgk284 (~sgk284@AC956B3D.ipt.aol.com)
05:27.14ForthFreaksay, wrong argument to bzfs on commandline of script
05:27.16learneryeah, that's already in the script I wrote itself for  that purpose
05:27.28TankThishi SGK
05:27.34sgk284howdy
05:27.55learneri.e. "sleep 60" in the "if [ $? -gt 0] ; then" block
05:28.02TankThisyou tried my castle(viper) rogue server? :P
05:28.14sgk284heh indeed i did!
05:28.24sgk284you own that server?
05:29.19TankThisyeah
05:29.29TankThisi just put it up tonight
05:29.58TankThis6 reds, 6 blues, and a rogue! :)
05:30.06sgk284hey this is for the devs: if you are playing ctf and the person with a flag pauses, they keep that flag
05:30.18sgk284and cant be touched
05:31.01Patlabor221I don't think we can make them drop it
05:31.06Patlabor221it's been a common commplaint
05:31.09ForthFreakhope he doesn't take the flag with him if he gets kicked :)
05:31.24Patlabor221no on a client kill it releases it
05:31.29Patlabor221just not a pause
05:31.39ForthFreakpause + flag -> kick ?
05:31.44Patlabor221no
05:32.01learnerit was supposed to have been done .. but some reason it's not working
05:32.16sgk284well a small if statement could fix that couldn't it? if (tank.flag().color = opponent.flag.color() and paused)
05:32.23SportChickhi all
05:32.24sgk284etc..
05:32.27GeekTechnicaheya
05:32.27sgk284hey sporty
05:32.32sgk284just like you cant pause in air
05:32.43TankThispause still timesout right?
05:32.43Patlabor221like learner says it was suposed to do that but it seems like a bug
05:32.53sgk284oh heh okay
05:33.20Patlabor221probably be a good idea to look at all that if tim approves the game mode cleanup
05:34.26GeekTechnicahmmm.. on a side note.. Patlabor221, I wonder if it would be possible to modify a supybot to join a bzflag server instead of an IRC server...
05:34.52Patlabor221you'd have to hack in the protocoll
05:34.58GeekTechnicayeah
05:35.06Patlabor221you could use pybzflag for that
05:35.29Patlabor221if you updated it
05:35.39GeekTechnicayank the protocol out of pybzflag and replace suppybots irc protocol with it
05:35.57Patlabor221pybzflag allready has a bzflag protocoll project
05:36.02Patlabor221it's just old
05:36.11GeekTechnicait would be an interesting project... that is if I had any clue what I was doing
05:36.38Patlabor221know much python?
05:36.43Patlabor221and what would you do with the bot?
05:36.47Patlabor221google searches?
05:37.02GeekTechnicanope... just enough to read a script and have a basic idea of what it does
05:37.09GeekTechnicajust enough to get into trouble I suppose
05:37.18Patlabor221I mean what would the bot add to the game?
05:37.19GeekTechnicaI'm sure it could be made to do useful things
05:37.25Patlabor221like?
05:38.08GeekTechnicashow a playerlist and what server they are on, or for factoids
05:38.34Patlabor221since the client has web access, just hook up RSS feeds :)
05:38.38GeekTechnicaI dunno really.. I'm sure there could be SOME use... but it doesn't really matter cuz I have no clue how to do it
05:38.40GeekTechnicayep
05:38.55Patlabor221well it's allways a good idea to have an use for soemthing before you build it
05:39.13Patlabor221otherwise you end up with atomic bombs
05:39.17sgk284if you build it they shall come:)
05:39.17GeekTechnicaheheh
05:42.14TankThisps all
05:42.18TankThisoops
05:44.18GeekTechnicahmm.. looking at the code for pybzflag it doesn't look too terribly hard as far as that stuff goes
05:44.43GeekTechnicastill out of my depth, at least for the moment
05:46.30TankThislearner gone?
05:47.41learneralways
05:48.30TankThisoh you an op, hehe
05:49.55TankThisso can you recommend any King of the Hill type rabbit matches??
05:49.56learnerthink I was a newbie?
05:49.59TankThiserr maps?
05:50.09TankThisno sie
05:50.12TankThiserr sir
05:50.23learneryo tampoco se
05:50.25Patlabor221as far as I know, only 1 map has ever been made rabbit spefic
05:50.55learnerrabbit flurished for a while .. but novelty died out after a while .. you'd have to be creative with the map ;)
05:51.29Patlabor221normal maps are usualy made with hiding places, and that makes rabbit games not fun
05:51.58TankThisthere needs to exist a map where a rabbit can have a platform to camp, while fighting off tanks coming up the ladder :)
05:52.22TankThismaybe like a pyramid
05:52.23Patlabor221so make one :)
05:52.40TankThisoh i suck at maps :P
05:53.06learner*cough* so do so many others
05:53.13learnerdidn't stop them
05:53.17Patlabor221that is true
05:53.36learnerlearn from them and learn to unsuck
05:53.51TankThislol
05:53.57GeekTechnicayou don't have to not suck... just suck *less* than the others

05:56.03Patlabor221you know
05:56.08Patlabor221where we tested theif
05:56.10Patlabor221and rabbit
05:56.14Patlabor221and all those
05:56.23learneroh, i definately recall
05:56.27learnerjust not that there were 4
05:56.30Patlabor221it has 4
05:56.34Patlabor221Trust me :)
05:56.39learneri do :)
05:57.15learneryeah, that map works out pretty well for testing
05:57.35learnerhas many fundamental pieces easily separated
05:57.36Patlabor221and it dosn't have the authors name spelled out in boxes :)
05:57.55learnerheh *cough*trepan*cough*
05:57.59TankThisthat looks good, but it needs a larger center platform with a couple limited ways to get on the center ;)
05:58.02Patlabor221tho no upside down pryarmids
05:58.12trepanyou called?   =)
05:58.16Patlabor221TankThis: it wans't make as a "hold the ground" map
05:58.21Patlabor221it was made as a "run like hell" map
05:58.41learnerjust coughing about you trepan ;)  nothing significant ;)
05:59.08Patlabor221I never realised how henge like that map is
05:59.22TankThisi played the PIC map today on rabbit, was fun as hell trying to get him up top... reminds me of king of the hill in monster truck madness 2
05:59.29learnerTankThis, the next release will allow gentle gradients, so you could stack up a slew of boxes and actually make a hill of some sort .. be interesting
06:00.03TankThisyes, gradient climbing will be very good!
06:00.56TankThisis there anyway to have like a circle in the middle of the hill and have whoever stays inside to score every second, while the tanks outside lose x number of points per second??
06:01.02GeekTechnicalearner, would that mean that your tank can drive over any box under a certain height?
06:01.10Patlabor221anything is posible
06:02.36Patlabor221you would want an object group flaged as "hill" and give points per tick for the only person on that object
06:02.49Patlabor221not subtract
06:03.22Patlabor221that is normal quake/marathon KOTH

06:10.21PunkJBdiGriz: dont u have a server running?
06:10.32JBdiGriznot a bz-server
06:10.33learnerthis is his AI agent comunicating via proxy authority
06:10.48JBdiGrizI don't believe that, he doesn't have any authority
06:10.53learnerJBdiGriz, it was incredible .. loved it
06:11.05Punki think it might have been BZgirls server...
06:11.39JBdiGrizShe and I look a lot alike, just ask learner
06:11.43learnerPunk, do you actually play as "punk"?
06:11.54learner~bzflist
06:11.56Punkyeah
06:12.12learnerhave we played?
06:12.18Punk?
06:12.23Punkwe?
06:12.39learneryes we.. as in you and me
06:12.50Punkummm, dont think so
06:13.16learnerthen how can you say you hardly see me play?
06:13.33JBdiGrizlearner: I have a new project for the weekend
06:13.52Punkheh, i dont really know :)
06:13.56learnerJBdiGriz, does it involve researching the chemical breakdown of ABA?
06:14.24JBdiGrizThat will probably be a side component, but not the basis of the work. ;)
06:15.00JBdiGrizFry's had a gigabit network adapter available for $15, and a 5 port gigabit switch for $50
06:17.41learnerwow
06:18.06learnergreat price
06:18.15learneronly missing two or three resistors, I take it?
06:18.52JBdiGriznope, it looks complete. I'll check it out with the dual. ;)
06:19.16Punklearner: whats ur favourite server?
06:21.33amathisPunk, is it that hard to say 'your' ? it is only two more letters.
06:21.38learnerPunk: 2-shot, no jumping, ctf -- ducati-style
06:21.47Punkoh
06:22.53Punki like rabbit chase, 5 shot, jumping
06:24.05learnerif you want to become really good, you'll have to learn 2-shot no jumping .. especially no jumping -- learning to dodge is one of the best bzskills you can learn
06:24.12learnertakes a while but is well worth it
