00:02.28wegstaroh
00:02.42wegstarwait.. while I swear at this guy... :)
00:13.52spldartI'm trying to sort a problem where I can't mount my usb harddrive in knoppix 3.7. It see's it but comes up with an error.
00:14.43Mr_Molezumm
00:14.55Mr_Molezi think u have the wrong channel
00:14.59wegstar...
00:15.02wegstarno...
00:15.05wegstar:P
00:15.07spldartNah.. I'm here for bzflag
00:15.12Mr_Molezohh
00:15.21Mr_Molezwhat error u gettin
00:15.21wegstaranyway...
00:15.26spldartI'm just complaining on here about my post on the channel #knoppix
00:15.45spldartAnd DTR and Jeffm keep telling me to get linux for my bz server ;)
00:16.22wegstarI have had problems with  knoppix detecting usb drives...
00:16.50spldartIt detects the drive and puts an icon on the Kdesktop for it... sda1
00:16.55wegstaroh
00:17.03wegstarhmm...
00:17.09Mr_Molezwhat is the error
00:17.34spldartError KDesktop. The reported error was: mount. wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted file systems.
00:17.55spldartThat happens when I try to mount it or change the permissions in the Kdesktop
00:18.04Mr_Molezopen a terminal and type mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
00:18.10Mr_Molezmaybe cuz its alreay mounted
00:18.20spldartNope... It shows as not mounted
00:18.24Mr_Molezoo
00:18.27spldartAs well as the other drives
00:18.31spldartbut the other drives will mount
00:18.36spldartthis one gives me that error
00:19.02spldartIf I try in the terminal it says it can't but I can't remember exactly what it said
00:19.29Mr_Molezdo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb -t vfat
00:19.31Mr_Molezif it complains

00:20.32spldartlet me write that down
00:20.41spldartI'll try that next time I boot into knoppix
00:20.54Mr_Molezobviously u can substitute /mnt/usb for where eva u want it to be mounted
00:21.02wegstarcan't you just chat from knoppix...?
00:21.21spldartI tried but it kept giving me a banned message
00:21.24spldartI couldn't get on
00:21.25wegstarah
00:21.27Mr_Molezlol
00:21.31spldartBut I could browse the internet fine though
00:21.47Mr_Molezu didnt try getting on as root did u
00:21.55spldartI did switch to root
00:22.03Mr_Molezi dont think it lets u with root
00:22.08Mr_Molezmake an odinary user
00:22.11Mr_Molez*ordinary
00:22.11spldartremember. I was able to mount the drives fine that are on ide chains
00:22.52Mr_Molezits probably because it cant work out what filesystem it is
00:23.01Mr_Molezif you declair it as vfat should work ;)
00:23.17spldartAll the drives are ntfs
00:23.25spldartIt just couldn't mount the usb one though
00:23.51Mr_Molezwell good luck
00:23.54spldartI have another laptop drive I can throw in the case though. formatted in fat32
00:23.54blast007still, you might have to tell linux what file system the USB drive uses  ;)
00:24.09spldartI did -t ntfs
00:24.17Mr_Molezit is vfat the usb
00:24.25Mr_Molezthey all are
00:24.47blast007is this a USB pendrive? or an external USB hard drive bay?
00:25.01spldartexternal mini usb hdd case/bay
00:25.08Mr_Molezoooo
00:25.08blast007ahh, ok
00:25.15spldartuses a standard small form factor laptop hdd
00:25.31Chestallook at /var/log/kern.log and see if any USB errors appear there when you attach the drive
00:25.41ChestalUSB 2.0 storage is sadly tricky
00:27.00Chestalif you get critical errors in the log, all I can advise is too put them into google, though
00:27.10spldartI'm going to re boot back into knoppix and try harder to get logged in. Hopefully when you see me next I will be in linux
00:27.32Chestalthe mesasges should appear in 'dmesg' output, too
00:27.52Chestalis this with a 2.6 kernel?
00:27.52Mr_Molezremember useradd :p
00:28.08spldartuseradd?
00:28.17Mr_Molezyeh to make an ordinary user
00:28.21Mr_Molezso u can get on irc
00:28.28spldartuhh
00:28.30spldartdon't know how
00:28.32spldartlivecd
00:28.37blast007knoppix by default uses the 'root' user, which is like 'Administrator' on Windows
00:28.42spldartyeah
00:29.10spldartBRB hopefully
00:29.12blast007it's a good idea to make a normal user that doesn't has as much power, as it's less likely to be exploited by holes in software
00:29.20blast007(like IRC clients)

00:30.21Chestaldoes'nt knoppix use a user 'knoppix' and do everything via sudo? but whatever, good night
00:30.45blast007can't remember...haven't used it in like a year  ;)
00:33.04bzflagwizso when you log in as "knoppix", you can type sudo su -  , and since the password is gonna be the same for all knoppix livecds...
00:34.00*** join/#bzflag knoppix (~knoppix@cpe-67-10-210-195.houston.res.rr.com)
00:34.39bzflagwizI'm not sure how having a normal user with a known password and the ability to sudo to root is any more secure than being root :)  Unless it is to train people to not use the root user...
00:35.15spldartwoo hoo
00:35.17spldartI'm back
00:35.21spldartlinuxified
00:35.27Mr_Moleznyay
00:35.31bzflagwiztuxified... :)

00:35.48spldartoopsy
00:35.51Mr_Molezdid u not have to make a new user ?
00:36.10spldartno
00:36.13bzflagwizI asked this earlier, but either no one was on, or no one knew the answer...
00:36.14Mr_Molezgr8 :)
00:36.17bzflagwizDoes anyone know if a working bzflag on windows can be compiled from the sources as they currently exist in cvs head?
00:36.33Mr_Molezyes i believe so bzflagwiz
00:36.47Mr_Molezdont ask me how though
00:36.52wegstarno...
00:37.00Mr_Molezreally ?
00:37.00wegstar~seen lan56
00:37.10ibotlan56 <lan56@h-68-165-21-165.lsanca54.dynamic.covad.net> was last seen on IRC in channel #bzflag, 3d 23h 2m 25s ago, saying: 'sgk284, it works now so no'.
00:37.42bzflagwizI compile ok, but when I run bzflag client, the screen resets a couple of times during GL initialization, then the client dies
00:37.59wegstaroh... nevermind hten :P
00:38.05wegstarthen*
00:38.28bzflagwizBut I was able to compile AND run CVS from yesterday or 1.5 days ago...
00:39.10blast007bzflagwiz: SDL build?
00:39.40bzflagwizNo - NonSDL - using mingw/msys
00:41.27spldartbtw kernal 2.4
00:42.20bzflagwizUnfortunately there's not much debugging output for the client like there is in bzfs.  I got the debug to tell me it (I think) finished GL initialization, but nothing after that...
00:43.59JeffM2501what's mingw use for a debuger?
00:44.36bzflagwizI'm not sure mingw even has a debugger...  I think Dev-C++ does, but I've never really used it.
00:45.01wegstaryes, Dev-C++ has one
00:45.08wegstarbut I have never used it before :P
00:45.31bzflagwizGuess I'm about to learn... :)
00:45.40JeffM2501what good is a compiler with no debuger? :)
00:46.08spldartProblem solved.. Knoppix didn't like the ntfs formated drive in the usb case. I put an old toshiba laptop drive that is formatted in fat32 in there and was able to mount is and change permissions no problem
00:46.43Mr_Molezi didnt think kernel 2.4 had support for ntfs
00:46.55bzflagwizmingw is kinda like a mini linux distro that runs in memory and has hooks into windows... (I think)
00:47.11JeffM2501mingw is a windows port of GCC
00:47.13JeffM2501that is all
00:47.21JeffM2501you are thinking of cygwin
00:47.28JeffM2501it's a nixish shell dealie
00:47.32spldartIt reads ide 0 just fine.
00:47.43spldarta WD Caviar 80 gig formated in ntfs
00:49.04spldartAlthough this cd does have the option in booting 2.6 kernal
00:49.52spldarthehe. Just copied bzflag from my c: to my portable drive :D I'm hooked up :D
00:58.21spldartI'm switching back to windoze now.. brb

01:06.59uso_whow can i kill myself with a gm?
01:07.40uso_wjust happened on a map without any enemy ;)
01:12.43orangeuso_w: if the server owner has changed the gmactivation time too low (or if your lag/jitter is really high) then you can literally drive into your own gm as it comes out of your barrel
01:13.11wegstaryeah.. :(
01:13.21wegstarhappens commonly
01:13.32orangethe default setting should protect you fairly well, in almost all cases
01:13.39orangeif someone changes it, your risk goes up
01:13.54orangethe downside to the default setting is that someone too close to you will not be harmed by your missile either
01:13.56uso_wno, it has been on a local server, started from within bzflag
01:14.41orangeno changes to setting?  tank speed is default?
01:15.02uso_wit only may have been a teleporter, but i haven't seen a missile hitting me
01:15.12uso_worange: all default
01:15.52orangewell, then it is likely a slower system or some kind of pause (sometimes the system gets busy and the client freezes a bit) that caused it
01:16.00orangethe slower the system, the more likely it will happen
01:16.04orange(from what I've been told)
01:16.33uso_w2.4 GHz? ok, a slow GPU (intel onboard)
01:16.49orangeand with the server running on the same machine
01:17.02uso_whave about 150 fps
01:18.07uso_whmm, must have been a teleporter link, don't see any other explanation at the moment
01:19.42uso_wi'm firing GMs sensless all arount the map for minutes and could not reproduce it :)

01:24.30rabbit25i guess not...
01:24.43rabbit25...
01:25.12orangeuso_w: I'd still guess it was a brief system 'freeze' while firing a gm
01:25.24orangeperhaps windows got busy doing something else for a moment
01:25.35uso_wok, may be
01:25.52uso_wi'm anyway giving up now, could not reproduce it
01:27.04rabbit25uso_w or orange: 1 vs 1 ???
01:27.11uso_wi only was a bit surprized as i died with gm alone on a map :)
01:28.32orangeyeah, it happened to me once too... it is shocking :-)
01:29.48uso_wi just test my first bzflag build on windows
01:31.36uso_wit has a fairly long startup time, does it try to get anything from the net before showing the startup screen?
01:47.12cosmosits busy installing spyware and adware
01:47.33uso_wlol
01:47.55uso_wcan't, no network :)
01:48.15cosmosits written into the bzflag code  check InstallAdWare.cxx
01:49.09uso_wmust have miss to compile that
01:49.54blast007I think that's just a known issue with teleporters...you can sometimes shoot yourself when teleporting
01:50.22blast007and about the long wait: it's trying to load the MOTD from the bzflag site
01:50.44blast007and if there is no network, then it waits for a timeout
01:51.09uso_woops, does the linux version load this also?
01:51.19blast007yeah
01:51.24uso_wnever have seen a motd so far :)
01:51.40blast007shows down in the message panel
01:51.50blast007after the version stuff
01:53.32uso_was you are just here blast007 ;) ... to make a windows installer i do need additional software?
01:53.58uso_wan installable version of bzflag
01:54.06uso_wi mean\
01:54.17blast007NSIS installer system
01:54.56uso_wah, also on sf :)
01:54.59blast007http://nsis.sourceforge.net/
01:55.01blast007yup
01:56.51blast007I think to use it you need to make a "dist" folder in the root of the bzflag source directory
01:57.23blast007then you can run .\package\win32\installer_2.0.nsi
01:58.04blast007I think, anyway  ;)
01:58.29blast007if that doesn't work, try: .\package\win32\nsis\BZFlag.nsi
02:01.15JeffM2501the 2.0 one isn't horibly complete IIRC

02:09.38uso_wlol
02:09.48uso_wok ok :)
02:13.15JeffM2501that would involve orginisation and comunication
02:13.25JeffM2501that is something this project sorely lacks
02:15.56uso_wsurely a problem very special to this project ;)
02:16.18uso_wthe installer 2.0 at least screws me something together
02:18.27JeffM2501it's probably not complete
02:18.29JeffM2501use the other one

02:19.11JeffM2501bzip2 is some good compresion :)
02:19.12JeffM2501ahh
02:19.24JeffM2501nsis is a very nice low footprint installer
02:19.45JeffM2501one reasone we use it
02:19.50JeffM2501instead of our old custom one
02:22.06uso_wBZFlag.nsi needs a vc runtime lib? has this to be delivered?
02:22.31JeffM2501when building with vc7.1 yes
02:22.43JeffM2501not all versions of windows have the VC7.1 runtimes
02:22.50JeffM2501so we include it
02:22.55JeffM2501to be safe

02:23.23JeffM2501but the 9x's and probably NT and ME would not

06:09.46orangeanybody use bzadmin for unattended running of commands on a server?
06:10.07orangelike, connect, run a /command, then disconnect?
06:12.04orangethe man page says if you provide a command on the command line, it will connect, run it, then disconnect.  I don't find that to work.  It starts the UI anyway.

06:23.03orangeinteresting, you don't use the command-line parameters to send commands... I'll try yours
06:24.29orchidyou might need to fix the server version "grep BZFS0026 " not sure if thats used now
06:25.34orchidhmm, someone here recently offered to patch bzadmin to allow it to do command stuff, but I forgot who
06:26.24orangeyour way works, once you fiddle with the timing... thanks!
06:26.40Pimpinellatried it too, my bzadmin stays open too
06:26.40orangethe documented way would be nicer, but isn't quite working yet

08:40.12LePoulpe303i installed Fedora FC3 ;  i tried to play bzflag installed with it (version 1.10 i think)  and app is very slooooooooooooow
08:40.29LePoulpe303i suspect that it ignores my video card
08:40.38brlcadLePoulpe303: twiddle with your graphics options?
08:40.48brlcadmake sure depth buffer is turned ON (default is OFF)
08:41.05LePoulpe303brlcad : bzflag works at 1024* on the same pc under windows totally wmoothly
08:41.28brlcadturn your resolution down, it'll use your current resolution by default -- which is usually too high for gaming
08:41.50brlcadare you trying it at 1024*
08:41.59LePoulpe303same thing at 800*
08:42.22LePoulpe303somethinhg strange  even navigating in menu is slow
08:42.38LePoulpe303i'll install version 2 ASAP
08:43.03brlcadyeah, try 2, if it's opengl related 2 should help
08:43.25brlcadin general, though, 2 requires more resources than 1.10 did

17:27.34Tupone<PROTECTED>
17:27.49Tupones/readme/CHANGEs/
17:28.04JeffM2501Tupone, is the only reason you are including the source for windows?
17:28.09JeffM2501or do other OSs need it?
17:28.57TuponeLinux gentoo does not need, I have on emerge. I get that DTR want the tree in, with the full libcurl to build it. So yes. It is only for windows
17:29.43JeffM2501then I'd rather just build it seperate and distro it as a binary lib
17:29.48*** join/#bzflag tango_ (~nome@adsl-37-253.37-151.net24.it)
17:29.49JeffM2501most of us use a binary libcurl
17:29.52JeffM2501we don't build our own
17:30.31Tuponethat is better, we can release a binary dll (?) for a libcurl ares-enabled. I need ares too instead of adns
17:30.41Tuponeor a library
17:30.49JeffM2501I'm beting our libcurl is allready ares enabled
17:30.56JeffM2501we don't need a DLL to use a lib
17:31.02JeffM2501we can make a static link lib
17:31.04TuponeDTR said not
17:31.15Tuponeabout libcurl ares enabled
17:31.20JeffM2501HIS isn't
17:31.24JeffM2501cus he builds his own
17:31.28Tuponeah
17:31.31JeffM2501I get mine from the libcurl people
17:31.38JeffM2501I'm beting there's is
17:31.50JeffM2501I think we should make and post a "windows library" kit
17:31.57TuponeI need a library with libcurl ares enabled and ares
17:32.05JeffM2501that has a binary ares link lib ( static ) and a libcurl dll and lib
17:32.37JeffM2501ether that or we just pull out the ares things we need and put it in libNet
17:32.38Tuponeand I'm glad to remove c-ares source tree from bzflag
17:32.47TuponeI'd like to remove zlib tree too :)
17:32.51JeffM2501yeah
17:33.01JeffM2501we could provide a prebuilt zlib too
17:33.13trepanregex?
17:33.15JeffM2501we just put source in the kit as well for thoose whow ant to build em
17:33.17Tuponecause we don't mantain any of it
17:33.20JeffM2501any of it
17:33.27JeffM2501anything that is a package on nux
17:33.29JeffM2501nix
17:33.33JeffM2501we can put into a lib kid
17:33.34JeffM2501kit
17:33.52JeffM2501and I can make the project search /win32/libs first for the binary link libs
17:34.01JeffM2501then we jsut provide a zip file with release and debug versions
17:34.02Tuponefor libcurl/c-ares the license allows us
17:34.18Tuponedunno for zlib and regex
17:34.29JeffM2501if they allow us to put the source in
17:34.35JeffM2501they will allow us to package it as a lib
17:34.46JeffM2501at that point it's just how we chose to get it to the boulders
17:34.49JeffM2501builders
17:34.54JeffM2501we'll have source too
17:34.56JeffM2501of course
17:35.07JeffM2501in the library zip
17:35.17Tuponeah ok
17:35.24JeffM2501it's a very common way to do it these days
17:35.27Tuponebut not in CVS ?
17:35.34JeffM2501no no, not in CVS
17:35.37JeffM2501we don't ever change it
17:35.46Tuponeok, I agree on that
17:35.52JeffM2501it would be posted as a "build" on the SF download
17:36.00JeffM2501we could then update it as needed
17:36.28Tuponeand the script to build those? where we archive those ?
17:36.37Tuponewithin the source zip
17:36.41trepandebian doesn't seem to have c-ares
17:36.43JeffM2501in the source part of the zip
17:36.43JeffM2501yeah
17:36.52JeffM2501each lib has it's own build system allready
17:37.07JeffM2501it's an external library each builder is responsible for geting it
17:37.19JeffM2501maybe we also make a dpkg for debian for it
17:37.46trepandebian libcurl doesn't have c-ares either, iirc
17:38.05JeffM2501if we have to make build scripts for them, then I say we do put those in cvs, but not in the bzflag tree, in a new "extras" tree outside of bzflag
17:38.13Tuponeneither gentoo libcurl, but I can try to provide  an ebuild
17:38.25JeffM2501the other thing is, why use ares and libcurl on windows?
17:38.32JeffM2501we have OS functions that can do it all
17:38.42JeffM2501do they buy us anything?
17:39.22Tuponewhat happen on linux is that a timeout on dns resolving is too long, and SIGALRM seems to break bzflag
17:39.32JeffM2501what happens on windows?
17:39.43TuponeI dunno about resolver call
17:39.48JeffM2501maybe we should move the URL manager into platform
17:39.53JeffM2501and let each plat handle it
17:39.59JeffM2501as part of it's own messageing system
17:40.19JeffM2501on windows we have IE provided internet connection services
17:40.30JeffM2501that take proxy servers and stuff into account
17:40.49TuponeI'm going to move libcurl to the async way to not stop rendering while waiting for files
17:40.59JeffM2501that'd be good
17:41.13JeffM2501I'd move it into platform at that time and abstract it all as one async URL manager
17:41.24JeffM2501then each OS could implmenet it in it's best way
17:41.51Tuponelibcurl should work on windows too, so why new code to handle?
17:42.06Tuponeunless is bugged
17:42.15JeffM2501could say the same thing about libcurl, windows can handle it, why libcurl
17:42.29JeffM2501libcurl dosn't take into account any proxysetings that may be set on the OS
17:42.33JeffM2501windows code does
17:42.40JeffM2501so in that case curl has less features
17:42.45Tuponecould not says the same, unless you find a windows port on lunix
17:43.00JeffM2501this is why I say put it in platform
17:43.08JeffM2501to get best performance on each OS, you need difrent code
17:43.29JeffM2501why force least common denominator
17:43.42JeffM2501it's like an SDL build on windows, it's kidna pointless
17:43.54JeffM2501since it jsut calls directX, the same way basic BZ does
17:44.02TuponeWe do not maintain SDL
17:44.17JeffM2501on windows we don't even use it
17:44.27JeffM2501since it dosn't provide all the features we want
17:44.42JeffM2501we don't maintain libcurl or windows IE components ether :)
17:44.59Tuponeif we move on adding request to the SDL guys, we could use SDL on all platform
17:45.19JeffM2501true
17:45.25JeffM2501but is SDL allways the best?
17:45.34JeffM2501what if another thing comes out
17:45.38JeffM2501like an xbox port
17:45.51JeffM2501I'm thinking long term
17:45.54JeffM2501I know your in the now
17:46.33Tuponeand you says SDL will not have an xbox port ....
17:46.42JeffM2501they may they may not
17:46.45Tuponeand you are not going to use openGL
17:46.46JeffM2501I'm just thowing out concepts
17:46.56JeffM2501yeah we could have to not use GL
17:47.06JeffM2501so the better our internal abstractions are, the easer ports are
17:47.29Tuponeand having people mantain code on all platform :/
17:47.40ruskie<-- is wondering what this discussion is about
17:47.41JeffM2501well if we DO it right it's not that bad :)
17:47.48JeffM2501code design ruskie
17:48.09JeffM2501if we make it modular enoguh we make a SDL backend that is used for most of the platforms
17:48.22JeffM2501then just the ones that need to be difrent are difrent in just the ways that they need to
17:48.24TuponeI'd base the code over a different layer then, possibly already built
17:48.25JeffM2501modularity
17:48.44JeffM2501are you saying you'd redo it all?
17:49.03ruskiehmm sounds interesting
17:49.10JeffM2501I'm just sugesting that if your going to go and redo the curl stuff may as well make it a nice modular class at the same time
17:49.15Tuponelike the BZFLAG3D you are doing ?
17:49.36JeffM2501redoing it all at once is no small task
17:49.43Tuponeahh just for libcurl ...
17:49.48JeffM2501you've said you are somewhat against a rewrites
17:49.58JeffM2501so I'm sugesting doing it in small parts
17:50.02JeffM2501yes jsut with libcurl now
17:50.10JeffM2501then do each one at when it needs changes
17:50.22JeffM2501then if we need/want to redo the windows backend, we have the hooks
17:51.02JeffM2501just trying to think for the future :)
17:51.59Tuponeif we need to stay in the "single thread" solution it is little hard
17:52.42Tuponethinking at a general purpose, hookable way
17:54.22TuponeI hope that single threaded "mandatory" will decay at some time
17:55.06JeffM2501I think you can be modular and still single threaded
17:55.32JeffM2501I think that being modular and single threaded makes it easyer to go multi threaded when the time finaly comes
17:55.49JeffM2501honestly, if that limit was removed rignt now, the code would be a mess if somoeone threw in threads
17:55.58JeffM2501since the code is so intermixed
17:56.08JeffM2501it needs to be cleaned and spereated for that ANYWAY
17:56.14JeffM2501so why not start it now :)
17:56.53Tuponenow file access is intermixed with code. I need to clean and make a state machine for handling it :(
17:57.15JeffM2501same for input
17:57.16Tuponeeven printf should be handled async :/
17:57.18JeffM2501same for sound
17:57.21JeffM2501same for graphics
17:57.24JeffM2501some for it all
17:57.32JeffM2501we need a solid archetecture
17:57.44JeffM2501sadly to make any form of archetecture we need a plan
17:57.48JeffM2501and a plan means comunication
17:57.59JeffM2501and sticking to the plan
17:58.11JeffM2501there are a lot of people who just go off on there own and implement stuff
17:58.41JeffM2501with the G3d thing I was just trying to lay out a more modular framework
17:59.01JeffM2501so that when people went off an just did stuff, the code iself lends to makeing modules
18:00.09*** join/#bzflag Birdie (~birdie@d54C34D0B.access.telenet.be)
18:01.45TuponeHowever, I want to avoid the bzflag lock (kill -9) for a timed out request
18:02.03JeffM2501hence why I say move it into platform
18:02.10JeffM2501we allerady have our message loops there
18:02.14JeffM2501it seems like a good place
18:02.25JeffM2501tie it into the messaging system
18:02.38Tuponethe resolver calls just stop waiting for the DNS resolving
18:02.43Tuponeunless I put c-ares in
18:02.52JeffM2501we could handle our own timeouts
18:03.07JeffM2501put in a que of pending DNS requests
18:03.18JeffM2501and reutrn an error message to who ever wanted it
18:03.20Tuponebut the glibc calls  do not return before they own timeout
18:03.42JeffM2501ok then use ares in platform
18:03.42Tuponeso on way to exit. SIGALRM seem worst
18:03.51JeffM2501make it a nice deriveable class :)
18:03.59JeffM2501that can be used in any of the platofrms :)
18:04.16JeffM2501heck make ares be the base class
18:04.24*** join/#bzflag bz6272 (~18ab8385@webchat.bzflag.bz)
18:04.25JeffM2501then if we want aditional functionality we can derive from there
18:04.35Tuponenow we have AresHandler in src/net
18:04.59Tuponeprolly need to extend it
18:05.04JeffM2501well don't get me started about net :)
18:05.11JeffM2501it's #defed to hell with winsock
18:05.32JeffM2501I'd have made winsock and berkly sockets be difrent classes from a base class
18:05.41JeffM2501but Im kooky like that
18:06.38TuponeI'd just wait ares to be buildable on all platform before continuing to work on it. Don't want to revert back a lot of change, in case

18:46.38JeffM2501it's not linux that is the problem
18:46.41JeffM2501it's your drivers
18:46.46JeffM2501exactly like the error said
18:46.49a_monkeyi know...
18:46.53bryjenmesa comes with X.  he's getting software 3d as is
18:47.05JeffM2501then there should be no problem
18:47.12a_monkeyweird.
18:47.14JeffM2501it just won't be as fast
18:48.26a_monkeywait a minute - so how do i use mesa instead of the dri driver?
18:48.33bryjenyou may check the log file the X server makes,  ( maybe in /var/log  Xorg.0.log or XFree86.0.log ) for more clues
18:49.14bryjenmesa and dri work together.  and they both come with XFree86 and Xorg
18:50.01JeffM2501if the dri GL init fails it should just dump down to software

19:58.31bryjenits one of the cheat detection routines.  it thinks that player was sending suspicious EndShot messages
19:58.55orangeit seems to be over-aggressive, and not considering all possible reasons that it could happen
20:01.06cosmosyeah
20:01.11cosmosi got alot of complaints on it
20:02.20spldartIC
20:02.53spldartEndshot means they were doing something to the shot that was advantages to them... Assuming it wasn't a false alarm
20:03.23spldartwoah... tybreaker got kicked to for the same reason
20:03.40brlcadset the warning to 5
20:03.44spldartneither I nor any of my kids have been kicked off it yet :(
20:03.48spldartHow do I do that?
20:04.02spldartwith /set?
20:04.28brlcadthat'll work or with the command line option so that it's used every time the server restarts
20:05.23spldartOk
20:05.26spldartset to 5
20:05.45spldartcan I include endshotdetect in the .conf or the map?

20:07.52spldartI'm really pushing hard to learn linux well enough to go ahead and build my server with it. I really would like global to work so I can set up so only registered users can play.
20:08.14bryjenyou can "-set variable value" in the conf file.
20:11.31spldartCan you give me an example to put in my .conf file real quick?

20:14.41trepanonly need quotes for strings with spaces, iirc
20:16.30spldartIt needs the quotes around the numeral?
20:16.39spldartic

20:27.17cosmosPLEASANT GROVE, Utah (AP) ~W A 105mm Howitzer round fired for avalanche control

20:27.18cosmoslling 3 residents, Pleasant Grove police said.
20:28.02spldartwow
20:29.42brlcadoops
20:30.17brlcadnot so pleasant a grove
20:30.57spldartI assume that even though my bzflag shows both my server with it's proper description AND a seperate SERVER entry in the found servers list that the fact that a generic SERVER isn't shown on the bzflag server list on the mybzflag.org site that entry isn't actually public.
20:32.15bzflagwiz_Used to be a pleasant grove, then someone built a house in the middle of it.  Now it is on its way back to being a pleasant grove...
20:32.32GvzEvxrespldart: the one without a description is found by a lan broadcast. folks that are not on your lan won't see that one.
20:32.34spldartwah wah wah wahahaha
20:32.44spldartsweet
20:32.45menotumelol bzflagwiz_
20:32.47spldartthanks for that bit of info
20:34.24spldartIt only started listing the generic entry after I moved from port 5123 to 5154.
20:34.33spldartnow I know why
20:36.40spldartOh... Can anyone recommend me to a #channel that would be overall linux discussion. I'm looking for a really good 'minidisc' sort of live disc linux.
20:36.56brlcad#linux ?
20:37.00spldartoh
20:37.09spldartthat's a channel?
20:37.16spldartI didn't expect it to be so simple
20:37.17spldartheheheh
20:37.21blast007:)
20:37.35orchid##linux actually I think
20:37.47brlcad#linux redirects to that
20:37.47spldartyour right
20:37.52spldartBut it did redirect me
20:38.24brlcadfreenode's ## idea is just silly imo
20:39.20spldartirc is all new to me anyway
