irclog2html for #bzflag on 20040721

00:00.01Patlabor221ahh I had to refresh again :)
00:00.30Patlabor221tho a gray one with the little front may be nice
00:00.37menotumesticker and mousepad got rotated :)
00:01.19TimRikerOLShmm. not showing up yet...
00:01.48TimRikerOLSah, reload did it for me too.
00:02.06TimRikerOLSmenotume: new feature of the site, so I converted em to use it.
00:02.18menotumeahhh, kewl
00:03.46TimRikerOLSmenotume: hmm. did you order before or after I changed the layout? /me wonders which layout menotume will get.
00:03.58menotumebefore :)
00:04.37menotumeI got the ash grey tee, and white tee with 'you were saying' on front
00:06.19menotumeTimRikerOLS: ash grey tee (nutshell front)
00:07.47menotumeTimRikerOLS: Will be interesting to see what I get - either is fine w/me
00:08.49TimRikerOLSmenotume: cool. well if you get the "wrong" one you could complain and see if they send you the "right" on too. ;-)
00:08.58menotumelol
00:09.18TimRikerOLSmight help to mention that if both items could exist on the same site, they would not have this "problem".
00:09.39menotumeahhh, gotya
00:09.41Patlabor221hah, OpenGLState.cpp will rue the day it looked at me funny! :)
00:09.55Patlabor221cafepress has gone evil
00:10.01Patlabor221they will not listen
00:10.22menotumemust mean they're making too much money.
00:11.40menotumeahhh, only one design per 'product', i c
00:12.34Patlabor221most people just make a site per product
00:12.38Patlabor221well per design
00:16.46Patlabor221whilst I know that the shot in this screenshot is messed up, it realy looks ominous :)
00:16.47Patlabor221http://sasami.bakadigital.com/temp/mesedupshots.png
00:16.52Patlabor221like firing a black hole
00:18.46TimRikerOLScool.
00:19.21Patlabor221tho that shot does have an alpha shadow
00:20.03Patlabor221no stence = good :)
00:20.08Patlabor221stencel
00:20.26Patlabor221I should make tanks fall in the hole :)
00:20.41Patlabor221and apear from a random teleporter
00:22.03CIA-4BZFlag: 03lan56 * 10bzflag/src/bzfs/bzfs.cxx: a bunch of small optimizations, mostly in favor of memory and space.
00:27.04Patlabor221feels good to mod 53 files in 11 dirs :)
00:29.53lan56I saw you make a 1000+ file commit last week, now -that's- neat :)
00:29.58lan56to FS I mean
00:31.21Patlabor221ohh that
00:31.24Patlabor221that's been removed
00:31.32Patlabor221well "moved"
00:31.35*** join/#bzflag Noodlema1 (~tuckerm@bc11448.bendcable.com)
00:32.54Patlabor221this was a change to those 1000 files
00:35.41Patlabor221OpenGLState and OpenGLStateBuilder must die
00:41.26brlcadTimRikerOLS: OLS again already?
00:44.59brlcadheh, lan56 undid a bunch of the vc5 things..
00:46.08Patlabor221sigh
00:46.22Patlabor221how much mem did he save?
00:47.01brlcadheh, none that I can see
00:47.14Patlabor221what did he do?
00:47.17brlcadjust reinserting a bunch of the for (int i =  .. things
00:47.30Patlabor221oh
00:47.35Patlabor2215 and 6 don't like that
00:47.44Patlabor221lan56, undo that commit
00:47.48brlcadyeah, I recall mac always needing to undo my code for that
00:47.49Patlabor221you'll break windows compilers
00:47.50DTRemenakbrlcad: no, still works ok - I looked at each one, they're all each the only for loop in that function
00:47.56Patlabor221ahhhhh
00:48.00Patlabor221then nevermind :)
00:48.01DTRemenakand it still compiles, which is more important
00:48.02brlcadah, lucky him :)
00:48.08Patlabor221so he saved 4 bytes
00:48.12DTRemenakotherwise I already would have demanded that he revert it :)
00:48.24scanlinehow would that save memory?
00:48.35Patlabor221oh it won't
00:48.37Patlabor221nevermind :)
00:48.42Patlabor221scanline is back!
00:48.43DTRemenakit will on vc
00:49.07lan56sorry, was reading some email and sending a few back, about the commit, revert or not?
00:49.29DTRemenaklan56: not necessary to revert - probably was not necessary to commit either
00:49.35brlcadoo interesting.. "A Brief Journey Through the History of Gun Propulsion" .. should probably attend that
00:49.37DTRemenakdoesn't break anything
00:49.46Patlabor221tell him the limts on VC tho so he knows
00:49.50lan56alright, optimizing, cleaning up, whatever you want to call it
00:50.03lan56revert or not is what I am looking for
00:50.12brlcadnot
00:50.20lan56good, all I needed
00:51.33lan56then, mind if I implement checkArgc() into bzflag.cxx?
00:51.54DTRemenakfor future reference: vc and gcc have different rules for scoping of variables declared as parameters in for loops - safest is to declare outside the loop
00:52.19brlcadlan56: have at it
00:52.25lan56what I tried to do in some of that commit is declare the variables one line before they are used
00:52.48DTRemenakvc leaves it in function scope, so you can do for(int i = 0...) and then for(i = 0...)
00:52.57brlcadlan56: the intent was perfectly fine, and ideal -- didn't mean to raise alarm
00:53.03brlcadand according to the spec
00:53.12DTRemenakgcc scopes it inside the for, so you can do for(int i = 0...) then for (int i = 0...)
00:53.13lan56if they are declared 5+ lines before ues, for example, no harm, but it would be nicer to have it right when its needed
00:53.27lan56I know, no bothers
00:53.47brlcadunfortunately the older compilers "may" choke on the for(int declared_here;...) under the right conditions
00:54.00DTRemenakso if you have more than one for loop in a function using the same iterator var, the only way to make both compilers happy is to declare it before the first loop, not in it.
00:54.16brlcador use different iterator names :)
00:54.30lan56that's what I did for functions that used an iterator var more than once
00:54.33DTRemenakyeah, or that, but if he's working on efficiency, that's not a good solution :)
00:54.41p0xyi have preliminary stuff done for the project im working on
00:54.49lan56what project would that be?
00:55.14DTRemenaklan56: you did the right thing, I was just explaining why that's the convention
00:55.31lan56I know, I got you, no bothers at all, only learned more
00:55.56p0xyim going to make bzfs execve a new binary and keep all the players
00:56.16lan56have bzfs use a separate binary to store player data
00:56.24lan56s/\n/?
00:56.44p0xyit's going to write state info, execute the new bzflag with a sepcial option, read in state info, and play
00:57.26p0xythe code isnt beautiful, but i tried not to butcher anything i didnt need to
00:59.27brlcadthere's no such thing as beautiful code
00:59.30brlcadunless it's my code
00:59.33brlcad*ahem* :)
00:59.38lan56which is then even uglier :)
00:59.45brlcaddamn straight
00:59.49lan56:)
01:00.02p0xyproof of concept == good
01:00.17DTRemenakonly if the concept is good to begin with ;)
01:00.30p0xyof course it is.  it's mine
01:01.22lan56In my opinion, I feel that bzadmin has the ugliest unorganized code, with each function having '{' after the declaration instead on next line, and the indenting style is unexpected in some parts of bzadminclient.cxx, and a bunch of other little rocks here and there
01:01.43p0xyi like function() {
01:01.58lan56I feel it's confusing with a scope inside a function
01:02.02Patlabor221bzflag does func() {
01:02.15p0xyoh you're a c++ programmer... something i've never ever really done
01:02.35Patlabor221it is funky, it's what they do tho
01:02.56Patlabor221consitency is the most important thing
01:03.04lan56true, true, function() { is common, but I feel it is too ugly :)
01:03.06lan56sure
01:03.21Patlabor221then submit your APT and change it :)
01:03.29lan56I will, soon :)
01:04.08lan56although, APT aren't too funny to abuse because you can't tell if someone had intentions to register a new project with an existing UNIX name, or they mean to take over the existing project, as in, no new project with same nam
01:04.40Patlabor221you could make bzflagLE
01:04.46Patlabor221Lan Edition
01:04.52lan56how true :)
01:05.13lan56or bzflagPL
01:05.20brlcadlan56: re bzadmin, that's not organization -- that's style (and he actually follows the more popular convention)
01:05.25Patlabor221naw, I am using a beter name
01:05.27lan56#define bzflagPL firestarter
01:05.33Patlabor221fs is dead
01:05.37Patlabor221no help
01:05.38lan56brlcad: exactly
01:05.39Patlabor221= dead
01:05.42lan56fs is dead ??!?!?!?!
01:05.48lan56that's a shocker to me
01:05.51brlcad~shoot fs
01:05.53ibotACTION shoots fs in the head.
01:06.08lan56nah, are you kidding? then why do you keep commiting t oit?
01:06.15lan56s/t oit/to it
01:06.19Patlabor221when was my last commit?
01:06.26Patlabor221and what was that last commit?
01:06.28lan56well, I suppose just like two days ago
01:06.36lan56I suppose sound manage?
01:06.47Patlabor221last commit was removing over 1000 files
01:06.55lan56why?
01:07.01Patlabor221then a commit to a difrent diectory of those same files
01:07.10lan56how is that mean it is dead?
01:07.25Patlabor221the difrent directory was not in trunk/firestarter
01:07.39lan56then what?
01:07.47Patlabor221a difrent dir
01:07.49lan56/recycle bin/?
01:07.54Patlabor221umm no
01:08.11Patlabor221you seem to be following the commits, I ausmed you had seen
01:08.28lan56I saw 1000 files, just not the directory change
01:08.31lan56either way
01:08.36lan56is it officially dead?
01:08.40Patlabor221ahh you only look here
01:08.40lan56work stopped?
01:08.45lan56yes
01:08.52lan56I only look at CIA stuff
01:08.52Patlabor221noone wishes to help me, so I see no reason to continue on it
01:09.08Patlabor221it is not my intent to do all things alone
01:09.17Patlabor221CIA exists in many more channels then this one
01:09.24lan56register it on sf.net, and get project help
01:09.39Patlabor221again I state that you don't seem to read here much :)
01:09.48lan56there are more developers living than there are jobs for them
01:09.50lan56no
01:09.51lan56:)
01:10.21lan56I also am not on 24/7 or close to it
01:10.53Patlabor221you've been here :)
01:11.01lan56true :)
01:11.30lan56but like today this is my first appearance for today
01:11.35Patlabor221the folder in question has had 23 events since it's inception
01:12.04lan56ahh
01:12.09Patlabor221tho most of that is removal and breaking stuff :)
01:12.17Patlabor221like making shots look like blackholes :)
01:12.33lan56you don't even want to continue fs just for fun?
01:12.38lan56like as a time killer?
01:13.58brlcadheh
01:15.06scanlinelan56: I think CIA missed that commit- it was so big that it got truncated somewhere and didn't parse
01:15.29lan56scanline: no, it told that one
01:15.43scanlinelink?
01:15.59lan56<CIA-4> BZFlag: lan56 * bzflag/src/bzfs/bzfs.cxx: a bunch of small optimizations, mostly in favor of memory and space.
01:16.09lan56that infamous commit :)
01:16.14scanlineoh, I thought you were talking about firestarter
01:16.24lan56oh, that I don't know
01:16.33lan56I mean, the 1000 file one did show
01:16.42lan56wait, which one are you talking about?
01:16.53scanlineI was talking about the 1000 file one
01:17.01lan56yes, that went thorugh
01:17.03scanlineI thought that got eaten by the HTTP server's maximum request size limit

01:17.26scanlineoh, wow
01:17.38lan56only a freak would know the exact line commits are on :)
01:17.40scanlinethat one was about 14MB :P
01:18.13DTRemenaklan56: mozilla has this cool find-ahead feature - I just typed /firestarter and copied that line
01:18.13scanlinehmm
01:18.21scanlinelooks like it showed up on IRC, but it's missing from the database
01:18.24lan56wow, that sounds neat
01:18.36scanlineso I guess it hit a size limit in MySQL, not in the HTTP server
01:19.33scanlinewhat's this opencombat thing?
01:19.37scanlinelooks a lot like a bzflag fork
01:20.07p0xygood think bzflag is bsd licensed

01:21.17lan56poxy: ngpl?
01:21.22p0xydont ask, i dont want to troll
01:21.43lan56then I don't know what ngpl is, so tell
01:21.45scanlineDTRemenak: hmm.. that implies that it will get merged with bzflag at some point :P
01:21.45lan56we won't mind
01:21.51p0xynon-gpl :P
01:21.51DTRemenakp0xy: but you're so good at trolling ;)

01:22.25scanlineDTRemenak: ah ;)
01:22.35NidhoggrMeBigFatGuy: hiya
01:22.41lan56you mean you want to append a string to argv[]?
01:22.42MeBigFatGuyheya
01:22.47p0xysure, lan56
01:22.58scanlinep0xy: no portable way to do that except allocate a new argv array and copy the existing entries plus the new one in
01:23.00lan56just argv[argc] = ANYTHING_HERE
01:23.08scanlinelan56: bad!
01:23.12lan56but argv isn't const
01:23.26p0xybut its size is defined at startup and cant grow
01:23.30MeBigFatGuyprolly would get away with it, as argv is prolly defined as an array of 255 or so
01:23.33scanlinelan56: you don't know how much memory the OS has allocated for that so you could be stomping on things, plus argv[argc] should always be NULL
01:23.33lan56ahh
01:23.49lan56wow, I feel so dirty :)

02:31.29brlcadTimRikerOLS: I used "bzflag" as the referrer, so maybe it'll match up
02:39.45DTRemenakheh - "This email is going out exclusively to the admins of the top 250 (out of 80,000+) projects on SourceForge.net." - uh.....right....
02:41.25lan56what do you mean, dtremenak? I got one, and look at my project :)
02:41.38lan56my project is the most popular on sf.net :)
02:41.55lan56and, I am going to win those sf.net tshirts as well :)
02:41.59DTRemenakheh
02:42.03brlcadDTRemenak: you get it too? :)
02:42.06DTRemenakyeah
02:42.26lan56well, in a way it could be right, I mean there is a lot of garbage on sf.net
02:42.38lan56a lot of projects that haven't gotten over 5% pop in their life
02:42.39DTRemenakI'm wondering if all project admins got it, or if they botched the script so that all project admins who were also (non-admin) members of the top 250 got it
02:43.18DTRemenaklan56: the stats page will show you the current ranking of a project
02:43.33DTRemenaktop 250 would be less than the top 1%
02:43.49lan56I know, but I think they meant projects that have been in the top 250 at any time in their life
02:43.56lan56that my project has been
02:44.02lan56for like 2 hours :)
02:44.15brlcadI'm thinking it went out to all admins that have had any activity
02:44.25DTRemenaklan56: no, stats are only collected at 1-day resolutions
02:44.25lan56and probably file releasexs
02:44.39lan56I know, I am just kidding around either way
02:44.45DTRemenakbrlcad: that's a possibility, in which case they should not have left that line in :)

02:45.01brlcadDTRemenak: or yeah.. somehow botches our associations as admins with projects that are actually in the top 1% :)
02:45.18lan56I already responded with 4 quotes, and every one is going to win a tshirt
02:46.05DTRemenakfor a second I wondered if bkm had gotten another magazine review or something, it wouldn't take a lot to put it in the top 250
02:46.26brlcadfact that I'm admin on rather inactive projects and associated with the mostly very active bzflag.. neat bug :)
02:46.34lan56what is bkm?
02:46.50DTRemenaklan56: a database-based bookmark manager for windows
02:46.54lan56ahh'
02:47.05DTRemenakhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/bkm
02:47.21brlcadDTRemenak: well, I'm sure that's not my case.. I've not started my other projects yet
02:48.00brlcadheh
02:48.04DTRemenakbrlcad: that would tend to indicate that's not the case
02:48.21DTRemenakheh, ok - revise that to someone got "admin" and "member" screwed up

03:07.58lan56nah, it's not the phrase that people should care about, it's why people make such a big deal about that people should wonder about
03:08.08[6yob]lol
03:08.16[6yob]yes, what im saying.
03:08.24[6yob]you live in cf?
03:08.32lan56yes, I live in los angeles
03:08.46[6yob]ahh cool
03:08.50trepanmy sympathies on the air quality
03:08.52lan56you think I care about the lakers and don't live in cf? :)
03:08.58lan56nah, it's ok down here
03:09.04lan56or maybe I am just used to it:)
03:09.16[6yob]:)
03:09.25[6yob]Im going to college there:)
03:09.32brlcadlan56: you going to join us in the get together?
03:09.33lan56in los angeles?
03:09.35[6yob]Not sure what school .. down to 2
03:09.38[6yob]or 3
03:09.40lan56nah, I can't, too busy
03:09.45lan56I am sorry, learner
03:10.09brlcadshame :)
03:10.13lan56it sure is
03:10.19[6yob]Im not sure lan I do know I wanna live near the beach i love to serf:)
03:10.21brlcadif you change your mind, you know where we are :)
03:10.22JBdiGrizHow go the plans for the party?
03:10.34lan56brlcad: I know :)
03:10.44lan56[6yob]: there is UCSB if you want it
03:10.50brlcadJBdiGriz: still down to either Sat 7th or Sun 8th in the evening
03:10.54lan56that's beach view as well
03:11.05[6yob]ucbs?
03:11.07brlcadJBdiGriz: it's likely that crs will join us :)
03:11.11[6yob]whice school?
03:11.11brlcadhe was rather interested
03:11.13JBdiGrizUCSB is a good school for surfing, but the beaches all face south
03:11.13lan56uc santa barbara
03:11.18[6yob]oh ok
03:11.34[6yob]Whats there focus?
03:11.40lan56surfing :)
03:11.42[6yob]study wise
03:11.44[6yob]lol
03:11.45lan56nobody goes to learn there :)
03:11.50JBdiGrizThat would be fun to meet crs.
03:12.00lan56I'd say marine biology
03:12.07[6yob]heh, not bad
03:12.09JBdiGrizUCSB is the party school of the UC system.
03:12.09lan56I know UCLA is probably medical or neurology
03:12.24JBdiGrizUCLA is the catch all for the system.
03:12.27lan56and uc riverside is the landfill of the uc system
03:12.51JBdiGrizThere's more marine biology at UCSD and SIO.
03:12.57lan56sio?
03:13.08JBdiGrizScripps Institute of Oceanography
03:13.18lan56makes sense there would be :)
03:13.46lan56where is sunnydale, again?
03:13.51JBdiGrizSunnydale? Isn't that somewhere in Indiana?
03:14.01[6yob]Ack, not sunnydale..
03:14.08lan56sunnyvale?
03:14.08[6yob]Wrong one:)
03:14.22AlphA90springdale?
03:14.28JBdiGrizin the wasteland of the bay area
03:14.29[6yob]lol
03:14.39[6yob]I'll think of it..
03:14.54JBdiGrizDon't hurt yourself
03:14.58lan56uc riverside is a real wasteland; they'll accept any body
03:15.02lan56100% acceptance rate
03:15.14lan56because nobody want's to go to a colleg in the desert I suppose
03:15.35JBdiGrizRiverside isn't the desert, but there isn't much there.
03:15.37trepanmmm, desert
03:15.49JBdiGriztrepan: It's not dessert either.
03:16.10trepanJBdiGriz: ya try to crack one pun...
03:16.22JBdiGrizand it leads to a 1000 more...
03:16.24lan56yeah yeah, tell it to the judge :)
03:16.49JBdiGrizpuns are like potato chips
03:16.55lan56they taste good
03:17.01lan56but if they are from trepan...
03:17.03trepanthey make you feel crappy later
03:17.05lan56well, they aren't too great
03:17.08lan56:)
03:17.26lan56eew I hate that flavor
03:17.44JBdiGrizWe finally made learner hungry (of course that's not hard to do)
03:17.49AlphA90yummmmmmmmm
03:18.32lan56[6yob]: ever been to san diego?
03:21.22[6yob]lan56, Yes:) Went with my family.. Was alright but never got to do much:)
03:21.33lan56ahh
03:21.37[6yob]lan56, and by the way I think it is sunnyvale:P
03:21.40[6yob]:)
03:21.50[6yob]My memory is getting bad
03:21.50lan56I knew you'd agree :)
03:21.56lan56it already is :)
03:22.04[6yob]:)
03:22.57[6yob]At 16 my memory is bad eh:) Well had to go sometime..
03:25.13lan56ahh, if I could, I'd just drink cream soda after cream soda, all with ice, all day long
03:25.44[6yob]nothing like a nice root eer or cream soda:)
03:25.50lan56how true
03:25.55lan56not a single thing like it
03:26.12[6yob]'cold' root beer is to sweet:)
03:26.27lan56like the feeling of a cold splash of it hitting your tongue, then your entire mouth, and then just chug after chug of it coming from the glass
03:26.31MeBigFatGuyhttp://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=5721464
03:26.43lan56MeBigFatGuy: I like it too, although, I think root beer competes too much :)
03:26.51MeBigFatGuytrue
03:26.51[6yob]IBC, ever tried it? or is that a southern thing;)
03:27.13lan56IBC is hardly seen around here
03:27.22[6yob]really:O
03:27.33lan56oh, and BTW, it's only good when it's in ice in a glass, otherwise, too gasy to be enjoyable
03:28.21[6yob]Ahh man.. I really want a root beer right now;)
03:28.27lan56same here
03:28.29[6yob]Im hoping in the car and getting one..
03:28.36[6yob]A nice cold one..
03:28.41lan56with ice?
03:28.43[6yob]ine a glass bottle:)
03:28.50lan56ahh
03:28.56[6yob]chilled glass bottle would do for me:)
03:29.04lan56I suppose
03:29.07[6yob]but ice is nice:)
03:29.14lan56it sure is :))))
03:29.34[6yob]What ever floats your boat i guess
03:29.51lan56true true
03:30.21[6yob]Lan you run apache?
03:30.27lan56no
03:30.31lan56not that I know of
03:30.52[6yob]heh, well I was going to ask you what you thought of apache 2..
03:31.01[6yob]the re wrote the 1.3.x
03:31.17lan56menotume mentioned that yesterday
03:31.19[6yob]It is quite confusing..
03:31.25AlphA90...............
03:31.26scanlinepeople still run apache 1.3? :P
03:31.30[6yob]lool
03:31.33[6yob]i want to
03:31.43[6yob]im reinstalling debain and running the 1.3
03:31.56scanlineapache2 is much nicer.. definitely upgrade to it
03:32.07scanlineand it's been around for a while now
03:32.09scanline1.3 is ancient
03:32.28[6yob]Im confused.. where did the put the hosts at?
03:32.30[6yob]vhosts?
03:32.55purple_cowand all those fiddly little modules like _perl and _php work now
03:33.47[6yob]I think 1.3.x wasw much cleaner.. as in u didn't have to fool with as much..
03:34.23scanlinewhat makes you say that?
03:35.02scanlinethe configuration isn't much differerent, and if anything it's better
03:36.03[6yob]Heh, i guess it is my quick judgement.. I just need to sit and look around..
03:36.17[6yob]Sounds like I am lookin over a few things.

04:55.24SportChickare you going to tell him what the problem was in the first place?

06:48.26brlcadw00t .. bzflag.bz has a proper favicon.ico now
06:54.21trepanme neither
06:54.51brlcadprobably because you've been there before and you have it cached
06:55.08brlcadtook me a while to figure that out locally -- deleted my icon cache and it popped up
06:55.39lan56what is a favicon?
06:56.30scanlinebrlcad: it doesn't cache lack of icon.. you need a <link> pointing to it
06:56.39trepanbrlcad: dunno, did a reload (skip cache), and still no joy
06:56.44scanline<link href="/favicon.ico" type="image/png" rel="shortcut icon" />
06:56.46scanlinein your <head>
06:57.04TimRikerOLSAll I get is: Cross-Referencing BZFlag \n Browse the code with no favicon entry in the tst.
06:57.22TimRikerOLSer text.
06:57.56brlcadhrm.. browser difference.  safari automatically checked for the favicon.ico even without the link, but I do recall that now that you mention it..
06:58.12lan56same here, all I get is text
06:58.13TimRikerOLSI did one for http://rikers.org/ but never got around do doing one for bzflag.org
06:59.39brlcadtry that
07:00.11trepanmuch better
07:00.15brlcadsilly galeon/firefox
07:00.15scanlineit shows up, but it just looks like a messy black square
07:01.01lan56I go to bzflag.bz and still see only text
07:01.52TimRikerOLScool. perhaps the tank should point up?
07:02.48brlcadit could easily enough ..
07:02.52brlcadI've had that image for years
07:02.56brlcadhttp://bzflag.bz/tmp/avatar.gif
07:03.08brlcadI hand crafted it using graph paper
07:03.23TimRikerOLScool. it's growing on me actually.
07:03.43brlcad:)
07:04.19TimRikerOLScolor tank might be nice. dark green but still black treads and turret?
07:04.46brlcadsomewhere around here I have then in red/green/blue/etc
07:05.06brlcadone of my first java apps used that little tank as part of an agent-based simulation
07:05.09scanlineoh. now that I know what it is it looks better.. but it still doesn't scale down to 16x16 well at all
07:05.35brlcadscanline: that's a common first impression .. you get an "OH" effect once you see it, then it's hard to not see it
07:06.49brlcadTimRikerOLS: I'll give that a try
07:08.17TimRikerOLSbrlcad: just suggestions. it's cool as it is too.
07:22.38lan56http://www.terraserver.com/providers/usgs_urban.asp -- how do you forget los angeles, las vegas, or new york city???
07:26.11brlcadperhaps a bit dark
07:26.13brlcadhttp://bzflag.bz/tmp/avatar_green.png
07:27.55TimRikerOLSyes, too dark. and I'd leave the sides of the treads black.
07:28.22brlcadI tried leaving them gray.. looked odd
07:29.26TimRikerOLShmm. well I gotta crash. check you web changes into cvs. ;-) probably want to change the cgi-bin/moin_config.py too.
07:29.31TimRikerOLSnite.
