00:12.13 | Aribeth | could it be the laptop's power management? if mine is set to poll frequently i have jitter |
00:13.01 | poxy | have you booted into safe mode + network? |

00:13.27 | Jormungandr | Posted this earlier, had to run out for a few mins, I checked the firewall settings, they arn't the problem -- Can't seem to get my server up and running, I can connect locally (localhost.localdomain), but it doesn't reconize my ip, which is kinda strange. I posted the output at http://jormungandr.homedns.org/bzfsoutput -- Help would be greatly appreciated. |
00:13.30 | DTRemenak | poxy: that would disable accelerated graphics drivers |
00:13.42 | SportChick | Aribeth: why would that make a difference in 2.0 but not in 1.10? |
00:13.44 | poxy | DTRemenak: oic |
00:13.58 | Jormungandr | Can't seem to connect to the listserver |
00:14.17 | Aribeth | im not sure, i had it in both on my laptop. i set mine to poll every 5 min |
00:18.40 | SportChick | Aribeth: the particularly puzzling thing about this jitter problem is that it happens only in 2.0. it did not happen at all in 1.10 |
00:19.15 | Aribeth | SportChick, that is the weird thing about it |
00:20.06 | Tegan | SportChick, does 1.10 still run without that problem? |
00:20.29 | SportChick | Tegan: yes, to the extent I was able to get on 1.10 servers, it was just fine |
00:23.07 | poxy | is there a way to get bzfs to bind to a certain address on the system? |
00:24.08 | poxy | I see -i for interface... |
00:25.23 | poxy | packets go out by default on .148 and i want to run the server and have it bind to .147 |

05:11.44 | Quantumbeep | Another dumb question: What's the hardware load for invisible objects? Does the video card still have to think about it? |
05:12.03 | Pimpinella | yep |
05:12.06 | Quantumbeep | Such as objects with alpha set to zero |
05:12.33 | trepan | no |
05:13.03 | Pimpinella | dpends |
05:13.04 | Quantumbeep | It is worthwhile performance-wise to skip textures and use colors? |
05:13.41 | trepan | Pimpinella: really? |
05:13.58 | Pimpinella | i've seen invisible objects slowing down gameplay significantly |
05:14.00 | MeBigFatGuy | Quantumbeep, solid colors certainly are much faster |
05:14.13 | MeBigFatGuy | your choice depends on your video card |
05:14.14 | Quantumbeep | I've been using lots of invisible objects for physics drivers in my latest map. |
05:14.38 | trepan | Quantumbeep: that depends on the client's setup, on good vidcard, textures have little effect |
05:14.41 | Quantumbeep | What's the performance hit for dynamic colors, such as a constant sinusoid? |
05:14.54 | Quantumbeep | Different from solid color |
05:14.55 | MeBigFatGuy | not much |
05:15.05 | Pimpinella | a frind of mine couldn't play pillbox anymore after they added invisible objects |
05:15.27 | Quantumbeep | Probably onboard video, ni? |
05:15.44 | Quantumbeep | I'm making a map with no textures at all. |
05:16.16 | Quantumbeep | Entirely closed in, so the depth buffer can really work. |
05:16.38 | trepan | Pimpinella: then they weren't added properly |
05:17.18 | Quantumbeep | "properly", in this case, is to set the diffuse alpha to zero, right? |
05:17.18 | Pimpinella | trepan: i made them visible for testing and it was fine ;) |
05:17.30 | trepan | Quantumbeep: yes |
05:17.45 | Pimpinella | ic |
05:17.58 | Quantumbeep | Okay. Off to map some more. Thanks for the new map coolness. |
05:17.59 | trepan | Pimpinella: i'd have to see it, transparent faces are not added to the scenenode octree |
05:18.24 | Pimpinella | dunno, was surprised myself |
05:18.30 | trepan | if you're running in BSP, then they count |
05:18.39 | trepan | but almost noone should be running without depth buffer |
05:18.48 | Quantumbeep | One more question. I'm heving trouble with tanks interacting oddly with tetra edges. Any ideas? |
05:19.11 | trepan | don't use tetras |
05:19.31 | Quantumbeep | Not good? |

15:24.43 | TheRedBaron | http://www.gamesunited.de/ib/index.php?showtopic=10534 |
15:26.08 | Bagheera | what is the map? |
15:26.20 | Bagheera | is it a basic block or a mesh |
15:26.26 | TheRedBaron | standard games united map |
15:26.28 | TheRedBaron | xmission |
15:26.34 | TheRedBaron | samething |
15:26.42 | TheRedBaron | Basic block i belive |
15:26.43 | Bagheera | where on the map |
15:26.48 | TheRedBaron | Its the bases |
15:27.12 | TheRedBaron | when jumping off the base toward the center of the map |
15:27.15 | Bagheera | does it still have the hidden block on the bases? |
15:27.26 | TheRedBaron | don't know. |
15:28.05 | TheRedBaron | but the funnything is it happens in mid-air |
15:28.20 | Bagheera | in 1.10 there was a bug that require a normal block to sit within the base block.......try getting rid of that hidden block and see if it happens again.......i |
15:28.21 | TheRedBaron | jumping off to center, not jumping ON to it from center |
15:28.47 | Bagheera | i understand, but lets get rid of the funky two block stuff |
15:29.09 | TheRedBaron | ok |
15:29.19 | Bagheera | after that, if it still occurs, then hammer the devs |
15:29.30 | Bagheera | with a big hammer |
15:29.34 | TheRedBaron | oh joy |
15:29.36 | Bagheera | sledge like |
15:29.37 | TheRedBaron | I love doing that. |
15:30.02 | TheRedBaron | brings back the good ol days of the radar fest |
15:30.11 | Bagheera | the bases on xmission are a little special |
15:30.46 | Bagheera | i suppose you could try making them standard thickness as well. |
15:30.51 | TheRedBaron | ah |
15:31.08 | Bagheera | good luck. |
15:31.40 | TheRedBaron | I'm not the mapmaker, or a mapmaker by standards... But I'll let the server ops know |
15:31.54 | TheRedBaron | now the other bug, or feature request is... |
15:32.23 | TheRedBaron | Colored shots on radar... |
15:32.48 | TheRedBaron | with enhanced radar turned ON, you can see the altitude of the shots by the differen't shading of the bullets |
15:33.21 | TheRedBaron | but with the colored shots turned "off" you lose that altitude discrimination... so you can't tell which ones are harmless and which are lethal. |
15:40.12 | brlcad | Bagheera: any idea how much we're gonna get today? |
15:40.39 | TheRedBaron | so If that could be one of those feature/bug request, something like that. |

16:02.46 | menotume | they would be much more accurate if they would just prediect 1-18" :P |
16:03.37 | Bagheera | ....shouldnt that be 0-18" |
16:03.57 | menotume | yes, even more accurate |
16:04.23 | Bagheera | just looked, we are in the 3-6 range now....looks like the 6-12 will be central md/western va/eastern wv |
16:04.44 | menotume | ahhh, that's good |

18:37.51 | Grumbler | something wrong with a team name of "swiss killers"......its almost like "TeleTubby Assassins" |
18:38.51 | Noodle-sensei | the teletubbie assassins could be a team that assassinates teletubbies |
18:39.12 | ToughShooter | Using STABLE build has fixed the problem (but the first second everything was too fast) quitting and using CVS-build is now successful again. Had this problem several times. |
18:39.49 | Grumbler | the jitter effect maybe |
18:40.54 | ToughShooter | I use to have 0 or max 2 ms jitter, only one time I had 15ms. With this IP I had played over an hour and always had 0ms jitter. |
18:41.40 | Noodle-sensei | Grumbler: it could also be a team that assassinates people of swiss heritage |
18:41.48 | Noodle-sensei | that'd be almost too easy tho... :-P |
18:42.22 | Grumbler | Noodle-sensei< harder than you think, they distract you with gold and belgium chocolate |
18:42.42 | Grumbler | .....and throat lozenges |
18:43.49 | Grumbler | ToughShooter< the only time i have seen that effect(and i have not played a lot with 2.0) is when I am an iffy network connection......but that should not preclude anyone from thinking that it is not a problem, but that is my experience in this case |
18:44.11 | ToughShooter | I suspect using the STABLE build fixes some configuration error. Perhaps I should back-up my BZFlag prefs and then do a diff after STABLE was used. |
18:44.23 | Grumbler | good idea |
18:44.49 | Grumbler | maybe you have some graphic settings that cause a little funky behavior |

20:43.30 | Nidhoggr | SportChick: are there others that have the same problem? |
20:43.53 | SportChick | Nidhoggr: yes, but it seems more sporadic with them (or at least they are only on sporadically) |
20:44.27 | Nidhoggr | does it change with lower video settings? |
20:44.32 | SportChick | no |
20:44.50 | SportChick | and the isp doesn't matter either - same problem from here and nocal |
20:44.51 | Nidhoggr | is it possible it's a router problem? does it happen to mozul's stuff too? |
20:45.02 | Nidhoggr | so just your machine? |
20:45.04 | SportChick | nope, not the router - we don't use a router in nocal |
20:45.22 | SportChick | seems to only be mine, yes (at least within our household) |
20:45.44 | Nidhoggr | I'm wondering if it's an issue with SDL and your laptop. |
20:45.50 | SportChick | but 32ms lag with 34ms jitter is just unplayable |
20:45.57 | Nidhoggr | has anyone tried building a non-SDL client for you? |
20:46.26 | SportChick | Nidhoggr: jeffm2501 may have. I'm not sure - he built me a special client, but I don't knwo what was special about it |

20:49.47 | SportChick | the last place it left off (that I remember) is they said I needed nidhoggr to put up a server on an old version to try and isolate where the change occurred |
20:50.08 | SportChick | Grumbler: unfortunately, if I do that, I'm not a very good admin anymore. I'm supposed to be watching that stuff |
20:50.14 | Grumbler | didnt DTR and you work back to all the old versions |
20:50.34 | Grumbler | err, old revisions of the 1.11 |
20:50.55 | SportChick | Grumbler: we did some of it, but they couldn't find the apparent problem when we went through that process before. So they wanted me to go further back and go one by one, using secretplace as the litmus test connection. |
20:51.13 | SportChick | which would mean that nid would have to put up old versions up on his server for me to conect to |
20:51.39 | Nidhoggr | let me see if I can. |

21:01.35 | Grumbler | SportChick< i watched, your jitter did climb, from 7-13ms, but your ping ~31ms was the best of the group |
21:01.49 | Chestal | and out of order packets should be discarded by server |
21:02.02 | orange | which makes sense |
21:02.08 | orange | and then show up as packet loss? or not? |
21:02.11 | SportChick | Grumbler: my ping is always good. it's the jitter that undoes me |
21:02.33 | Chestal | no jitter compensation is done AFAIK, someone tried it once, maybe Tupone? I don't think it's in the code, though |
21:02.34 | Grumbler | i had some real bad pings, but that is probably just the network today |
21:02.45 | JeffM2501 | IIRC jitter is just how much your ping varys over time |
21:02.51 | orange | at one point her tank was slamming back and forth (turns) far faster than you can ever turn |
21:03.01 | Nidhoggr | that can be bad if the jitter varies 30some ms |
21:03.19 | Chestal | orange: yes, AFAIK if server recieves 2 4 3 5 it counts as one lost packet |
21:03.24 | SportChick | JeffM2501: not sure how that works then, because I can do lagstats 15 times in a row as fast as I can and ping will be constant at 32ms and jitter will vary from 15ms to 34ms |
21:03.36 | SportChick | and lost packets almost always show as 0 |
21:03.43 | orange | Chestal: and she was not showing packet loss, but perhaps the percentage isn't getting high enough |
21:03.48 | linuxclub | lagstat is computed any 10 sec |
21:04.04 | Chestal | orange: possible, I am not sure how high it must be to show |
21:04.09 | JeffM2501 | lagstats does some averaging, it's not instant |
21:04.17 | orange | I'd guess at least 1% :-) |
21:04.21 | JeffM2501 | so it would make sense that it's all the same |
21:04.31 | Chestal | the latency number is exponentially smoothed, new active ping measurement every 10s |
21:04.43 | Chestal | the jitter value is computed on every receipt of a MsgPlayerUpdate packet, though |
21:05.04 | orange | SportChick: I don't have a 1.10 client on this box or I'd go look |
21:05.06 | Grumbler | jitter is not averaged, or maxVal |
21:05.09 | Grumbler | ? |
21:05.20 | JeffM2501 | did 1.10 even have jitter? |
21:05.22 | Chestal | jitter undergoes exponential smoothing, too |
21:05.23 | ruskie | damn... I must have done something right.... |
21:05.28 | Grumbler | yes |
21:05.29 | Chestal | yes, 1.10 has jitter |
21:05.40 | Chestal | well, even 1.7 had jitter, but in 1.10 it's in the stats :-) |
21:06.22 | Chestal | it was my code initially, it was changed a bit, but I thnk it should still be the same basically, just restructured |
21:06.26 | Grumbler | hmm, makes me think of menotume 's png images he posted where jitter/lagstats were crazy |
21:06.33 | SportChick | ping on 1.10.8 = between 30-32ms with jitter = 0-2ms |
21:06.40 | Nidhoggr | I remember that a few times. |

21:07.01 | orange | SportChick: are you sure there's no QoS application trying to prioritize your network traffic? |
21:07.08 | Chestal | I know there was a change introduced with 2.0 which somehow used the latency value early, when a lag ping was returned late (or not at all) |
21:07.09 | SportChick | Nidhoggr: can you stick up an early version of 1.11? maybe .33 or something |
21:07.17 | SportChick | orange, no. I've checked that |
21:07.23 | Chestal | something was changed after 2.0 release in there, too |
21:07.29 | Grumbler | QoS, oooo, could be |
21:07.37 | Nidhoggr | SportChick: It took me 15 minutes to find that one. I'll see if I can find any. |
21:07.40 | orange | no recently installed VOIP apps? |
21:07.40 | SportChick | ping is unrelated to what is running. I have had absoultely nothing going except bz and same issue (sometimes worse) |

22:27.11 | MeBigFatGuy | poor SportChick :( |

22:37.52 | Nidhoggr | I typically get about 54ms |
22:38.55 | MeBigFatGuy | it is on this bad-boy :) |
22:39.45 | MeBigFatGuy | only updated as jitteralpha = jitteralpha / (0.99f + jitteralpha); |
22:39.50 | MeBigFatGuy | which seems odd |
22:40.02 | JeffM2501 | magic average? |
22:40.33 | MeBigFatGuy | starts at 1, but won't that just go to limit of 0? |
22:40.58 | JeffM2501 | what is it used in? |
22:41.09 | MeBigFatGuy | LagInfo::updateLag |
22:41.29 | MeBigFatGuy | used to calculate jitteravg, which i assume is the reported value |
22:42.21 | Chestal | alpha is the factor for exponential smoothing |
22:42.34 | Chestal | with a constant alpha, you get traditional exp smoothing |
22:42.46 | Chestal | the autoadjusting alpha is for the start phase |
22:43.49 | MeBigFatGuy | hmm, lessee, 1, 1/1.99, ~.5/1.5, ..... |
22:43.53 | MeBigFatGuy | is that what it's supposed to do? |
22:44.11 | Chestal | let's assume a target alpha value of 0.1 which is more obvious |
22:44.16 | MeBigFatGuy | 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6 add infinitum? |
22:44.26 | MeBigFatGuy | alpha starts at 1 |
22:44.27 | Chestal | so newavg = oldavg * 0.9 + newvalue * 0.1 |
22:44.53 | Chestal | or alpha=0.1 oldavg*(1-alpha) + newvalue*alpha |
22:45.11 | Chestal | problem is in the beginnign you really want alpha=1, so you get oldavg*0 + newvalue*1 |
22:46.07 | brlcad | hehe |
22:46.11 | Chestal | the alpha should converge to the target value |
22:46.45 | MeBigFatGuy | so alpha is purely mathemeatical equation, not driven by inputs? |
22:46.50 | Chestal | yes |
22:47.00 | MeBigFatGuy | and what is the limit? |
22:47.06 | Chestal | after a while it will be 0.1 (or 0.01 in case of jitter). Or at least very close to it |
22:47.48 | Chestal | the code would be somewhat cleaner if there was a const float targetalpha |
22:48.03 | Chestal | and then lpaha = apha / ((1-targetalpha) + alpha) |
22:48.46 | MeBigFatGuy | i assume it approaches the limit lightning quick |
22:48.54 | Chestal | just some magic so all values get their 'fair' weighting |
22:49.16 | Chestal | for target of 0.1, it will be quick, for 0.01, somewhat slower |
22:49.29 | MeBigFatGuy | what keeps it from going to 0.00000001 |
22:49.33 | Chestal | but for jitter the value is updated on every MagPlayerUpdate |
22:49.41 | Chestal | the formula does :-) |
22:49.48 | MeBigFatGuy | heh |
22:50.03 | JeffM2501 | the fact that it's .9 not .99 |
22:50.13 | JeffM2501 | or .999999999 |
22:50.14 | Chestal | there are two alphas |
22:50.17 | Chestal | one for latency, one for jitter |
22:50.20 | MeBigFatGuy | JeffM2501, ah ok |
22:50.29 | Chestal | the jitter alpha is very small with 0.01 |
22:50.39 | Chestal | because it makes sense to average over a greater number of values |
22:50.40 | JeffM2501 | that value is 1-theLimit |
22:51.02 | Chestal | thesse are just ad-hoc values though I chose |
22:51.22 | MeBigFatGuy | can we assume that for SportChick const float jitter = fabs(info->now - lastupdate |
22:51.22 | MeBigFatGuy | <PROTECTED> |
22:52.24 | Chestal | easiest is to instrument the code and just pritn out the values |
22:52.40 | MeBigFatGuy | won't that destroy the calculations? |
22:52.48 | Chestal | if agstats shows jitter, I would assume there is some |
22:53.00 | MeBigFatGuy | cd .. |
22:53.02 | MeBigFatGuy | oops |
22:53.18 | Chestal | do it with a server with only SPortchick on |
22:53.25 | Chestal | server shoudl receive at most 30 packets/s |
22:53.34 | MeBigFatGuy | but instrument the client? |
22:53.37 | Chestal | much less f she doesn't push around her mouse so much |
22:53.51 | MeBigFatGuy | Nidhoggr, is it all the time? or just sporadically? |
22:54.04 | Chestal | I meant to change the server |
22:54.12 | MeBigFatGuy | ChanServ, k |
22:54.14 | MeBigFatGuy | heh |
22:54.29 | Chestal | is the problem lagstats or felt lag/jitter? or both? |
22:54.43 | MeBigFatGuy | i think lagstats reports 40=ish jitter |
22:54.47 | MeBigFatGuy | and lag == 40 |
22:54.50 | MeBigFatGuy | or so i'm told |
22:55.23 | MeBigFatGuy | or perhaps, more correctly, or so i understand |
22:55.37 | Nidhoggr | MeBigFatGuy: for her it's all the time, I think. |
22:55.54 | MeBigFatGuy | Nidhoggr, could you host a instrumented server? |
22:56.08 | Nidhoggr | sure. get me source, and I'll compile and run. |

22:57.30 | Nidhoggr | I had heard about it this morning, and messaged him and he patched the board. |
22:58.05 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: would at least print both delta-ts (delta of client timestamps and delta of server times) |
22:58.15 | Chestal | and probably the difference of the dts |
22:58.35 | Chestal | maybe also the sequence numbers of the packets to catch out of order and lost packets |
22:59.13 | MeBigFatGuy | MsgPlayerUpdate in bzfs.cxx? |
22:59.58 | Chestal | for the sequence number, yes, I guess |
23:00.09 | Chestal | the handlign must be done somewhere, not sure where it is in curent code |
23:01.45 | MeBigFatGuy | i wonder if she's got fonkey high speed, but oo packets |
23:02.15 | JeffM2501 | all it was was another '=', turned '==' into '===' |
23:03.19 | Chestal | MAC: the effect (as far as I have heard) would be one where small packets are accumulated before sending out as a larger batch for example |
23:04.05 | Chestal | that should be easily visible when looking at the indvidual jitter values |

23:10.17 | MeBigFatGuy | Nidhoggr, can you apply diff -u patch files? |
23:10.44 | bz5719 | yes, thought i wrote s |
23:10.44 | bz5719 | oops, the plus doesnt come over the cgi frontent |
23:11.19 | Chestal | slot for +s flags are always filled, i.e. if a flag vansihes, another one will spawn immediately |
23:11.25 | Chestal | for -s flags, empty slots fill over time |
23:11.34 | Chestal | this should also be visible on a freshly started server |
23:11.53 | bz5719 | ah, so it's only a delay in respawn |
23:11.55 | Chestal | this was buggy at some time, though |
23:12.48 | MeBigFatGuy | hmmm, my jitteravg started at 25 and just keep getting higher and higher now at 50 |
23:12.58 | bz5719 | is there a possibility to restrict the number of a distinct flags, i.e. to say maximum one laser or one sw? |

23:13.18 | MeBigFatGuy | +f L{1} |
23:13.20 | JeffM2501 | that will add one SW |

23:16.21 | JeffM2501 | what was the forumla again? |
23:16.27 | Chestal | uhm, that doesn't look right |
23:16.29 | JeffM2501 | it didn't seem right that it would get smaller |

23:16.52 | JeffM2501 | but then I'm not a math major |
23:16.55 | bz5719 | the randomness of the flags semm to be not especially good, often see the same flag twice with a liitle number of flags at all |
23:16.57 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: where have you added that output? |
23:17.28 | MeBigFatGuy | LagInfo.updateLag, at bottom |
23:17.48 | MeBigFatGuy | ok, that could be problematic |
23:17.53 | MeBigFatGuy | one sec, putting at bottom of if |
23:18.26 | bz5719 | ok, thanks a lot |
23:18.29 | bz5719 | bye |
23:18.50 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: and pritn them as doubles |
23:19.03 | Chestal | those numbers above look like ints |
23:19.35 | MeBigFatGuy | ok |
23:19.37 | MeBigFatGuy | one sec |
23:20.26 | JeffM2501 | what is jitter alpha seeded as? |
23:20.33 | Chestal | should be 1 |
23:20.39 | Chestal | the formulas are ok |
23:20.53 | Chestal | but check them nonetheless, cannot hurt :-) |
23:20.59 | JeffM2501 | I jsut want to step thru it so I can get it in my head :) |
23:21.25 | MeBigFatGuy | hmmm, |
23:21.34 | MeBigFatGuy | seems to be working now *blush* |
23:21.55 | Chestal | still, your jitter number was increasing |
23:21.57 | MeBigFatGuy | oh wait, jitter is growign |
23:22.05 | MeBigFatGuy | just much smaller nums |

23:22.50 | Chestal | would be useful to print the dts |
23:22.58 | Chestal | i.e. timestamp-lasttimestamp and now-lastupdate |
23:23.09 | MeBigFatGuy | ok |
23:23.21 | Chestal | those must match for low jitter |

23:28.35 | JeffM2501 | make a spreadsheed that did it for me |
23:28.58 | SportChick | MeBigFatGuy: it seems to happen about 75-90% of the time. Occasionally (rarely), I get jitter as low as 7ms (which is still higher than my formal norm of 0-2ms on 1.10) |
23:29.14 | Nidhoggr | MeBigFatGuy: when you get the patch made, plz email it to mandrake@dragon.org. I'll see if I can get it running as soon as I can. you can also email cjmandrake@tmail.com when you send it, so it notifies my pager. |
23:29.24 | MeBigFatGuy | k |
23:30.30 | JeffM2501 | for some reason in my mind, I was thinking it was .99 * a not 0.99 + a |
23:30.59 | retro | So, can a bzflag 2.0 client talk to a 1.11.x bzfs server? |
23:31.08 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: from the few value I have seen it looks liek most dts match, but you have some big deviatons |
23:31.08 | JeffM2501 | no |
23:31.17 | JeffM2501 | we bumped prod before the final release |
23:31.22 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: could be scheduling issues |
23:31.32 | JeffM2501 | tho they have very similar featuers, as 1.11 became 2.0 |
23:31.43 | retro | so, can a recent 1.11.x bzflag client talk to early 1.11.x bzfs servers? |
23:31.51 | JeffM2501 | no |
23:31.55 | retro | sigh. |
23:31.57 | JeffM2501 | every X was a proto bump |
23:32.00 | MeBigFatGuy | (Timestamp 274.552155 LastTimeStamp 273.535858)-->delta(1.016296) (now 279.470526 lastupdate 278.454283)-->delta(1.016243) jitteravg 0.034010 |
23:32.01 | JeffM2501 | that's why we changed X |
23:32.06 | JeffM2501 | cus something got added or changed. |
23:32.15 | MeBigFatGuy | why is jitteravg constantly increasing? |
23:32.20 | JeffM2501 | it's dev, we changed it all the time |
23:32.35 | JeffM2501 | there were some that used the same proto, but not many |
23:32.39 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: it wasn't before, but maybe you restarted? |
23:32.51 | MeBigFatGuy | nope |
23:32.51 | JeffM2501 | bascly if the proto numbers match, then yes they can talk to each other |
23:32.54 | MeBigFatGuy | just letting it run |
23:32.55 | retro | So, if I wanted to try and build various 1.11.x bzfs servers to help SC narrow down when her problem started, I'd need to also build windoze bzflag clients. |
23:33.02 | JeffM2501 | yes |
23:33.19 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: jitteravg 0.025352 jitteravg 0.01258 jitteravg 0.034010 |
23:33.23 | Chestal | your 3 latest values |
23:33.27 | retro | well, that's a problem. I don't have much in the way of dev tools for windoze. Does bzflag on windows use cygwin? |
23:33.35 | retro | I could get that. |
23:33.35 | JeffM2501 | no, not realy |
23:33.41 | JeffM2501 | it can if you do a nix style build |
23:33.44 | Grumbler | dont wish to interrupt, but are you thinking that the reporting of jitter is incorrect....if so, then SportChick still has an issue.......i guess you could be trying to understand the ruler by which you are judging |
23:33.52 | JeffM2501 | but then your not comparing the same type of buuild she is using |
23:34.00 | JeffM2501 | the mingw build seems to run worse for her. |
23:34.04 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: can you paste some consecutive liens to a pastebin? |
23:34.12 | JeffM2501 | the builds she has are done with VC7.1 |
23:34.29 | JeffM2501 | basicly it's going to come down to DTR or I making a server and a bunch of versions for her |
23:34.35 | retro | hrm, I don't have a copy of that. I suppose it's expensive, right? |
23:34.42 | JeffM2501 | 50$ |
23:34.44 | JeffM2501 | ish |
23:34.53 | retro | that's it? Oh, I could afford that. |
23:34.53 | JeffM2501 | ebay or edu |
23:35.01 | MeBigFatGuy | k |
23:35.19 | JeffM2501 | retro, it's not an online download thingy |
23:35.24 | JeffM2501 | it's a ship in the box thing |
23:35.25 | DTRemenak | JeffM2501: my.bzflag.org/builds should have all of the original beta builds |
23:35.35 | retro | yeah, I figured. |
23:35.36 | JeffM2501 | did I keep an archinve? |
23:35.39 | DTRemenak | they're not linked on the page, but they're in the directory |
23:35.42 | JeffM2501 | wow |
23:35.46 | DTRemenak | I never deleted any of mine |
23:35.46 | retro | oohhh, that's good to know. |
23:35.50 | DTRemenak | dunno about yours :) |
23:35.51 | JeffM2501 | yeah so somone just runs a server for her |
23:36.12 | JeffM2501 | much less in the 1.11.x timeframe |
23:36.16 | JeffM2501 | before "the fall" |
23:37.03 | JeffM2501 | who ever runs a server and does the tests, needs to get a 1.10.x baseline first tho |
23:37.05 | retro | well, someone needs to run a server for SC, but also she needs to get the windoze bzflag clients to match |
23:37.08 | JeffM2501 | so the comparisons are the same. |
23:37.20 | JeffM2501 | is your S key broken? |
23:37.42 | JeffM2501 | you seem to keep hiting Z ;) |
23:37.54 | retro | no, I just like calling it windoze, or winders. |
23:38.01 | MeBigFatGuy | chestal http://pastebin.ca/6632 |
23:38.10 | JeffM2501 | so your going to test server on leeenox? |
23:38.26 | retro | so, how can I find these older beta binaries on my.bzflag.org/builds ?? |
23:38.35 | JeffM2501 | you can't |
23:38.45 | JeffM2501 | I can |
23:38.47 | JeffM2501 | DTR can |
23:38.54 | MeBigFatGuy | chestal, if i send the client to the background, the jitter goes way up. when i reactivate the window, the jitter does NOT go back down |

23:40.27 | MeBigFatGuy | Chestal, i'll try to smooth out my rope... |
23:40.36 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: e.g. second line has 1.06 on client side, but 1.78 on server |
23:40.36 | DTRemenak | http://my.bzflag.org/builds/bzflag1.11.X.exe |
23:40.41 | DTRemenak | where X is whatever version you want |
23:40.58 | Chestal | but with client+server on same machine I coudl imagne |
23:41.06 | retro | cool! I assume X starts at 1, and goes to ??? |
23:41.10 | JeffM2501 | no |
23:41.12 | JeffM2501 | it dosn't |
23:41.33 | JeffM2501 | 23, 24,25,27,28,32,33,35,36,38,41 |
23:41.52 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: delta(6.856541), weeh |
23:41.58 | MeBigFatGuy | heh |
23:41.59 | Chestal | server was sleeping for over 6s? |
23:42.01 | retro | what happened to 1 through 22? Not entirely successful? |
23:42.09 | JeffM2501 | ether wern't posted |
23:42.10 | MeBigFatGuy | sent patch to Nidhoggr |
23:42.11 | JeffM2501 | or removed |
23:42.31 | retro | Is SportChick even listening? |
23:42.32 | JeffM2501 | generaly don't start making the public releases till there are new features and stuff that are worth testing |
23:42.43 | MeBigFatGuy | SportChick is lurking |
23:42.50 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: you might want to add one more value |
23:42.56 | MeBigFatGuy | sure |
23:43.03 | MeBigFatGuy | Chestal, could have been on a client deactivate |
23:43.16 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: the jitter variable which is abs(dt1-dt2) |
23:43.19 | retro | She'll need to download those releases and install them, and then hopefully Nid can install the corresponding servers, and hopefully we can get some good data. |
23:43.30 | Chestal | so it's easy to see the current unaveraged jitter measurement |
23:43.34 | MeBigFatGuy | k |
23:44.38 | Chestal | th eother numebrs are only details which might be helpful in special cases, the jitter and the avg are the most important |

23:49.17 | preston | what is error code 11004?! |
23:49.25 | MeBigFatGuy | a socket error |

23:49.31 | MeBigFatGuy | lemme look |
23:49.36 | JeffM2501 | it can't be anything with her connect if the reports tht old 11 versions work fine |

23:50.21 | MeBigFatGuy | bad dns i think preston |
23:50.22 | preston | what is error code 11004? |
23:50.30 | JeffM2501 | preston, excuse me? |

23:51.23 | JeffM2501 | isnt' there something we can do about them? |
23:51.34 | retro | and I thought _I_ was weird. It's good to see people like preston to make me feel better. :) |
23:51.35 | Tupone | DTRemenak: are you building for SportChick? |
23:51.45 | Chestal | MeBigFatGuy: that looks ok, avg going down while rawjitter is low, than a few big rawjitter numbers make it go up again |
23:51.48 | JeffM2501 | humans do allways need somone to hate :) |
23:52.00 | DTRemenak | Tupone: the old builds are still up. if she needs other ones, I will build them. |
23:52.05 | JeffM2501 | Tupone, we were looking at the beta site, there are a number of other builds |
23:52.05 | Chestal | one can also see that just averaging is probaby not the most meaningful way to calc jitter stats |
23:52.24 | Chestal | maybe an average of a maximum over a sliding window would be better |
23:52.27 | Chestal | whatever, good night |
23:52.29 | retro | Just becuase preston makes me feel better doesn't mean I hate him JeffM. :) |
