| 00:02.18 | sgk284 | MeBigFatGuy, ping |
| 00:03.08 | MeBigFatGuy | pong |
| 00:05.08 | TimRiker | blast007: the same info that is displayed int the server list is sent to the client as part of the join. |
| 00:06.44 | blast007 | TimRiker: but the client won't know what the server info is if you type in an address |
| 00:07.17 | sgk284 | I tried out your suggestion of checking (i >= max) instead of isAlphanumeric(input[i]) and realized that it doesnt work by just checking i. this is because the loop will not go past the end of the string so if the character is not found then i = input.length()-1 and if the last character of the string is the character being looked for then i = input.length()-1 so I think you have to do the checks that I have in place to be certain. There might be a b |
| 00:07.17 | sgk284 | etter way,but i think the basic idea must remain the same |
| 00:09.09 | patlabor221 | TimRiker: the client won't know what colors/skins would be avalabe untill it contacted the server |
| 00:09.23 | MeBigFatGuy | i should be max if not found |
| 00:09.30 | patlabor221 | since some servers may ban some skins |
| 00:09.40 | TimRiker | patlabor221: ahh... I thought he meant teams/gamemode. |
| 00:10.06 | patlabor221 | if there was a gamemode that allowed for more colors |
| 00:10.09 | TimRiker | how do other games handle that? |
| 00:10.12 | patlabor221 | the current interface would not work |
| 00:10.26 | blast007 | they let you pick a team after you join |
| 00:10.28 | patlabor221 | you pick your player model and perferd skin |
| 00:10.29 | TimRiker | similar to observer first? |
| 00:10.34 | patlabor221 | yeah |
| 00:10.35 | patlabor221 | basicly |
| 00:11.00 | TimRiker | cool. well we have that state after join and before enter. more stuff could happen there. |
| 00:11.01 | patlabor221 | team on join if your prefered team is unavalble if it's team game |
| 00:11.09 | *** join/#bzflag lala (~LayZee@p5485429B.dip.t-dialin.net) |
| 00:11.16 | patlabor221 | in your player setup you pick your callsign and your preferned model/skin |
| 00:11.28 | TimRiker | sounds workable. |
| 00:11.30 | patlabor221 | on join your skin is changed to a team skin if it's a team game |
| 00:11.41 | patlabor221 | or a default model if your model is not avalb |
| 00:12.22 | lala | hey guys, have a prob and need ur help |
| 00:12.51 | TimRiker | ibot: tell lala about ask |
| 00:13.57 | lala | dunno why, but after i restart my computer, i cant start bzflag now, dont start |
| 00:14.35 | TimRiker | lala: os? version? bzflag version? video card? anything else changed? did it crash last time? |
| 00:14.51 | patlabor221 | and what happens when you try? |
| 00:15.12 | MeBigFatGuy | perhaps delete you bzflag.bzc file |
| 00:15.18 | lala | i have windows and the 1.10.6 version |
| 00:15.28 | lala | nhad never this prob |
| 00:15.40 | patlabor221 | you upgrade to service pack 2? |
| 00:16.02 | lala | and changed nothing, what i did was to stared search&destroy but only for spy |
| 00:16.18 | lala | yes |
| 00:16.19 | patlabor221 | what happens when you try to run the game? |
| 00:16.27 | lala | nothing didnt start |
| 00:16.32 | patlabor221 | no window? |
| 00:16.35 | patlabor221 | no error? |

| 00:17.21 | patlabor221 | throw away the folder called "my bzflag files" |
| 00:18.54 | TimRiker | ~bzfrag MeBigFatGuy |
| 00:18.56 | ibot | ACTION skewers MeBigFatGuy with a super bullet |
| 00:18.57 | TimRiker | =) |
| 00:19.03 | MeBigFatGuy | heh |
| 00:19.41 | sgk284 | TimRiker, whats your thoughts on a flag that makes you explode with a shockwave when shot (so that if someone shoots you too closely they die too) ? I heard it being mentioned on secretplace and think i saw it on the wiki |
| 00:19.44 | patlabor221 | then run it |
| 00:19.48 | lala | u meant i shall delete my BZflag Files? |
| 00:19.53 | patlabor221 | yes |
| 00:19.57 | patlabor221 | just huck it |
| 00:20.02 | patlabor221 | it'll be remade on the next launch |
| 00:20.07 | MeBigFatGuy | chuck, even |
| 00:20.10 | lala | if i do that, my preferences a re away? |
| 00:20.11 | patlabor221 | hurl |
| 00:20.15 | patlabor221 | yes |
| 00:20.18 | patlabor221 | they are probalby bad |
| 00:20.24 | lala | argh |
| 00:20.24 | patlabor221 | they will be regenerated |
| 00:20.31 | JBdiGriz | patlabor221: Finally got around to trying BZFlag-1.11.25-SDL |
| 00:20.32 | patlabor221 | its ether that or don't play |
| 00:20.32 | lala | ah ok |
| 00:20.44 | patlabor221 | JBdiGriz: how did it go |
| 00:20.47 | JBdiGriz | patlabor221: No fonts found. Exiting |
| 00:20.53 | patlabor221 | wierd |
| 00:21.17 | MeBigFatGuy | set your data directory on command line |
| 00:21.18 | sgk284 | JBdiGriz, execute bzflag from your data directory i think |
| 00:21.20 | JBdiGriz | and why is my screen all of a sudden flashing porno messages? |
| 00:21.27 | MeBigFatGuy | thats normal |
| 00:21.28 | patlabor221 | sgk284: he should not have to |
| 00:21.30 | patlabor221 | it's in the app dir |
| 00:21.38 | patlabor221 | I made it into the thing it wants |
| 00:21.40 | sgk284 | ok |
| 00:21.42 | JBdiGriz | sgk284: This was a distro from pat that I was testing |
| 00:22.02 | JBdiGriz | MeBigFatGuy: the fonts or the pr0n? |
| 00:22.02 | patlabor221 | does the resources dir have a fonts dir? |
| 00:22.20 | patlabor221 | macs can't get viruses |
| 00:22.37 | JBdiGriz | yes |
| 00:22.37 | lala | mmh cant start it :( |
| 00:22.52 | patlabor221 | what video card do you have? |
| 00:23.03 | MeBigFatGuy | i remember a early mac virus that was cured by inserting a floppy disk labelled "Chicken Soup" |
| 00:23.10 | patlabor221 | heh |
| 00:23.11 | JBdiGriz | The fonts directory is not heavily populated |
| 00:23.26 | patlabor221 | it should have 37items in it |
| 00:24.15 | patlabor221 | does your config posibly still have a dir statement to your 1.10.x dir? |
| 00:24.16 | JBdiGriz | 37 items, but only 3 fonts luxi, toga, and vera |
| 00:24.21 | patlabor221 | yeah |
| 00:24.26 | patlabor221 | thats all it should have |
| 00:24.29 | patlabor221 | we only have 3 fonts |
| 00:24.31 | patlabor221 | in difrent sizes |
| 00:24.59 | JBdiGriz | My config works with 1.10 and 1.11 compiled via the make system. I can try removing it and see what happens |
| 00:25.11 | *** join/#bzflag wegstar (~anonymous@adsl-64-175-248-232.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) |
| 00:25.26 | patlabor221 | makes me think it's not using the data dir from the resources dir |
| 00:25.43 | lala | anything is wrong after i updated the Internet Explorer update, so slow |
| 00:25.54 | wegstar | why does the latest version of bzedit still have that base loading bug? |
| 00:26.00 | patlabor221 | probably the SP2 firewall |
| 00:26.14 | patlabor221 | wegstar: what version of bzedit are you using? |
| 00:26.17 | lala | its off in the moment |
| 00:26.20 | wegstar | the latest one |
| 00:26.26 | wegstar | 1.6.1 |
| 00:26.32 | patlabor221 | that's not the latest |
| 00:26.36 | wegstar | oh |
| 00:26.42 | blast007 | wegstar: there was a newer one posted on bzbb |
| 00:26.48 | wegstar | that's what is shown on their website |
| 00:26.50 | wegstar | ok |
| 00:26.51 | patlabor221 | it's on sourceforge |
| 00:26.53 | blast007 | are the attachments up yet? |
| 00:27.08 | patlabor221 | no |
| 00:27.26 | patlabor221 | well lets see the very topmost news item on the bzedit web page is... |
| 00:27.30 | patlabor221 | " BZedit is now part of the normal BZFlag source tree. Please see bzflag.org for info." |
| 00:27.42 | blast007 | newest one on SF is 1.6.2, think the bzbb one was 1.6.3 |
| 00:28.31 | patlabor221 | that wasn't a real release I think that was just grumbler playing |
| 00:28.42 | blast007 | ah |
| 00:29.17 | JBdiGriz | patlabor221: found a set directory in the config, it's now a little better |
| 00:29.24 | JBdiGriz | data path is "/Volumes/BZFlag-1.11.25-SDL/BZFlag-1.11.25-SDL.app/Contents/Resources" |
| 00:29.25 | JBdiGriz | data path is "/Volumes/BZFlag-1.11.25-SDL/BZFlag-1.11.25-SDL.app/Contents/Resources" |
| 00:29.30 | JBdiGriz | *** malloc_zone_malloc[768]: argument too large: 4194304000 |
| 00:29.50 | patlabor221 | wierd |
| 00:30.11 | JBdiGriz | Trying to connect to trepan's physics server |
| 00:30.21 | patlabor221 | guess binary builds of SDL versions don't work |
| 00:30.21 | MeBigFatGuy | JBdiGriz, have a stack trace? |
| 00:32.17 | JBdiGriz | No, just the error message. I was able to connect to one of trepan's other servers |
| 00:32.48 | wegstar | can't find version 1.6.3 does version 1.6.2 still have that bug? because apparently it does |
| 00:32.49 | JBdiGriz | SDL is already installed on this machine. I should try it on a machine where it's not installed |
| 00:33.52 | blast007 | wegstar: 1.6.3 may have that bug too, can't remember |
| 00:34.01 | wegstar | oh |
| 00:35.06 | wegstar | why does it say "base was not defined for team 2, capture the flag style is removed.." |
| 00:35.15 | wegstar | i have two bases |
| 00:35.22 | wegstar | one red and the other purple |
| 00:35.35 | patlabor221 | then define your teams using 0 for the other teams |
| 00:35.37 | MeBigFatGuy | you specified other teams (or more likely didn't remove them) |
| 00:35.45 | wegstar | ok |
| 00:35.48 | MeBigFatGuy | -mp switch |
| 00:38.06 | wegstar | what do you mean by defining my teams and using 0 for the others? |
| 00:38.18 | patlabor221 | what is your -mp section say |
| 00:38.42 | wegstar | -mp? |
| 00:38.48 | MeBigFatGuy | bzfs command line |
| 00:38.50 | patlabor221 | in the command line for the server |
| 00:38.59 | wegstar | oh, i use a .bat file |
| 00:39.02 | patlabor221 | did you do a -mp and give it team team limits |
| 00:39.06 | patlabor221 | well in the bat file |
| 00:39.16 | patlabor221 | does it have anything in your bat or config for -mp? |
| 00:39.24 | patlabor221 | where you define player limit |
| 00:39.27 | wegstar | i think in the config |
| 00:39.33 | patlabor221 | what is that line in the config |
| 00:39.37 | wegstar | yeah |
| 00:39.44 | patlabor221 | what is it? |
| 00:39.54 | patlabor221 | if you don't put one in, it will asume all teams |
| 00:39.59 | patlabor221 | and then the map has to have 4 bases |
| 00:40.09 | wegstar | oh... i see |
| 00:40.19 | patlabor221 | if you have less then 4 bases you have to tell the server to not allow players on the teams you don't have bases for |
| 00:40.31 | patlabor221 | and that is done by using -mp with "0" for the teams that don't have bases |
| 00:40.50 | wegstar | thanks it works now |
| 00:45.45 | patlabor221 | probably |
| 00:46.26 | sgk284 | umm i think its worth noting that if you run "bzfs -password testin" and login and type "/password testing" it still sets you as admin |
| 00:46.40 | DTRemenak | really? |
| 00:46.46 | sgk284 | yep |
| 00:46.47 | sgk284 | :/ |
| 00:46.48 | patlabor221 | the server should do a LOT of things automaticly :) |
| 00:46.52 | wegstar | cool |
| 00:47.12 | DTRemenak | dang, you're right |
| 00:47.23 | TimRiker | must be a feature. document it. |
| 00:47.25 | DTRemenak | that makes my one-character password a hell of a lot less safe :) |
| 00:47.25 | sgk284 | i have to walk the dog, but i can look at it when i get back if noone else can |
| 00:47.34 | purple_cow | DTRemenak: hehe |
| 00:47.43 | patlabor221 | probably strncmp instead of strcmp |
| 00:47.59 | patlabor221 | maybe somone was thinking they were preventing a buffer run issue |
| 00:48.11 | TimRiker | and perhaps they were. |
| 00:48.13 | DTRemenak | maybe they actually were |
| 00:48.17 | patlabor221 | maybe |
| 00:48.19 | TimRiker | =) |
| 00:48.26 | patlabor221 | then is that a feature? |
| 00:48.29 | DTRemenak | probably ought to compare lengths |
| 00:48.42 | TimRiker | it's a bug. but not one I'm worried about |
| 00:48.45 | patlabor221 | or lop off whitespace and do len |
| 00:48.55 | patlabor221 | but your the WS master :) |
| 00:49.07 | TimRiker | heh |
| 00:49.25 | patlabor221 | Tim "bane of whitespace" Rikker |
| 00:49.35 | patlabor221 | it's on your biz cards! |
| 00:50.01 | DTRemenak | yup, strncmp |
| 00:54.54 | CIA-3 | BZFlag: 03dtremenak * 10bzflag/src/bzfs/commands.cxx: don't let /password match a password with a different length |
| 00:55.06 | DTRemenak | ~sgk284++ |
| 00:59.55 | wegstar | about links.. what if your map is oriented so that the teleporters are facing X+ and X- how would you specify front and back in links? |
