01:24.14 | mmarshall | Are threads enabled by default? |
01:24.24 | Gnurdux | on windows, yes |
01:24.29 | Gnurdux | i think no on linux |
01:24.56 | mmarshall | ok |
01:25.34 | bryjen | i don't think bzflag really does much with threads. Tupone had started to add some stuff... |
01:25.50 | bryjen | ~seen Tupone |
01:26.03 | ibot | tupone <n=Tupone@pdpc/supporter/active/Tupone> was last seen on IRC in channel ##essy, 28d 4h 37m 27s ago, saying: 'hi SportChick'. |
01:26.03 | Gnurdux | bryjen, the windows server uses some threads... |
01:26.04 | mmarshall | I'm having some hard to predict segfaults, and the bt isn't too helpful; I was wondering if maybe threads were complicating things. |
01:26.52 | mmarshall | But I guess not. |
01:27.07 | Gnurdux | it seems ServerLink is the only part that uses threads |
01:27.10 | JeffM2501 | yeah it's all one thread |
01:29.24 | JeffM2501 | it jsut does it to wait async |
01:30.07 | JeffM2501 | you'll notice it closes the thread right after it creates it ;) |
01:30.46 | mmarshall | Are the plugin events called recursively? As in, if inside a join event a plugin kills a player, will the kill event be called right then, or will the first event first run its course? |
01:31.05 | JeffM2501 | yeah it's right hten |
01:31.12 | JeffM2501 | right then |
01:31.15 | mmarshall | Alright |
01:31.18 | JeffM2501 | the kill function calls the events again |
01:31.24 | JeffM2501 | they arn't qued up or anything |
01:32.18 | JeffM2501 | bzfs is just prety much a big loop |
01:36.10 | JeffM2501 | actualy the only reason for that thread is because who ever wrote that didn't want to hook into our existing message callback in platform. |

03:17.20 | [NP]Tangent | yo CBG |
03:17.50 | [NP]Tangent | yeah, so I intend to be making another map that's more league-styled |
03:18.44 | L4m3r | *sigh* in all politeness... can something be done about servers who list-whore with 10+ bots? |
03:19.00 | JeffM2501 | 2.1 dosn't list the bots |
03:19.14 | [NP]Tangent | yeah, L4mer, like that Daler server? |
03:19.23 | L4m3r | Yeah... |
03:19.47 | L4m3r | I've left some polite messages there, but the only thing that's changed is the map |
03:19.50 | A-Delusion | but on the other end is teppic's, who is newb-freindly with bots |
03:20.10 | L4m3r | yeah, but he uses what, three? four? |
03:20.30 | L4m3r | and they go away on request when the server gets crowded |
03:21.28 | L4m3r | I think that perhaps some rules ought to be set regarding the list server and the use of bots. |
03:22.17 | L4m3r | Or better, disable -solo bots when -public is used |
03:23.04 | L4m3r | that would save many other server owners a lot of headache from n00bs who try to bring in a bunch of bots |

03:33.53 | Mr_Molez | telling people what they can and can't do with their servers is silly. If people want a server full of bots they should be able to, having a server full of bots might be apart of thier server style. No need to nanny everything |

05:00.15 | L4m3r | I notice that the API has some add/revoke perm functions. |
05:00.16 | orange | but a better interface to it (like /ban) would be nice |
05:00.41 | JeffM2501 | write a plugin ;) |
05:00.41 | L4m3r | Do these write permanently to a userdb or are they temporary? |
05:00.41 | orange | heh |
05:00.42 | JeffM2501 | umm I don' tknow |
05:00.46 | JeffM2501 | they just set the perm |
05:00.51 | JeffM2501 | they don't force a flush tho |
05:01.00 | JeffM2501 | so I guess they'd be saved on the next flush |
05:01.02 | JeffM2501 | let me look |
05:01.34 | orange | would be nice if anti-kick permission was automatically temporarily revoked if a player is marked NR |
05:01.57 | orange | or, more to the point, not honored if a player is nr |
05:02.04 | orange | I bet that'd be easy to do actually |
05:02.10 | JeffM2501 | don't know if the server knows they are NR |
05:02.59 | L4m3r | I'd really like to just bind the function to a command |

05:38.43 | A_Meteorite | all those quits and joins almost crash my client :) |
05:38.53 | A_Meteorite | *beep, beep beep* |
05:39.58 | JeffM2501 | your computer can't play 20 sounds with out crashing? |
05:40.16 | A_Meteorite | well, when it's all at once |
05:40.17 | A_Meteorite | it hangs |
05:40.21 | A_Meteorite | just this app though |
05:40.41 | JeffM2501 | so your OS can't play them async? |
05:40.41 | blast007 | irssi just tells me there is a netsplit, and what names split ;) |
05:41.02 | A_Meteorite | apparently so |
05:41.20 | JeffM2501 | wow that sucky OS is that/ |
05:41.30 | DTRemenak | heh |
05:41.39 | A_Meteorite | either that colloquy could of been designed badly |
05:41.49 | A_Meteorite | it has no problem with genocide and all the TK sounds |
05:41.59 | A_Meteorite | :) |
05:42.01 | blast007 | coloquy has genocide and TK sounds? |
05:42.06 | A_Meteorite | no, bzflag does |
05:42.06 | blast007 | ;) |
05:42.16 | A_Meteorite | you hear about two dozen of them if you hit a teamie |
05:42.23 | JeffM2501 | the app dosn't play sounds, the OS does |
05:42.26 | A_Meteorite | which bzflag doesn't hang there |
05:42.41 | A_Meteorite | well, I don't know what's up then :) |
05:42.50 | JeffM2501 | bzflag actualy mixes them itself and uses the OS as little as possible |
05:42.57 | JeffM2501 | so realy it must be your OS ;) |
05:43.05 | A_Meteorite | ok, mac os x sounds sucks |
05:43.08 | A_Meteorite | there. I said it. |
05:43.09 | A_Meteorite | ;) |
05:43.41 | A_Meteorite | anyways, I got to go and do more housework *gasp* gotta finish before inspection tomorrow morning for section 8/hud |

11:46.28 | Skeeve | Hi bricad! Are you there? |
11:47.14 | brlcad | sometimes |
11:47.29 | Mr_Molez | brlcad: has a friend !! :P |
11:47.39 | Skeeve | DTRemenak told me you are the autogen.sh expert# |
11:47.55 | brlcad | automake bug |
11:48.06 | Skeeve | I have a problem on my Mac |
11:48.06 | brlcad | it's always an automake bug .. ;) |
11:48.18 | Skeeve | Any way to fix it? |
11:48.24 | brlcad | j/k, what's up? |
11:48.50 | Skeeve | Okay... When I run ./auogen.sh and ./configure, top_srcdir becomes . |
11:49.10 | Skeeve | make fails in plugins then not finding misc/depcomp |
11:49.32 | brlcad | rightly so |
11:49.41 | Skeeve | when I run /Users/.../configure I get the full path for top_srcdir |
11:49.48 | brlcad | top_srcdir is "." for the top-level dirs |
11:50.11 | Skeeve | but then it fails at the same place because /Users/.../plugins/misc/depcomp can't be found |
11:50.39 | brlcad | what does grep AUX plugins/configure.ac show? |
11:50.43 | Skeeve | so having "." is okay? |
11:51.08 | Skeeve | AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([.]) |
11:51.18 | brlcad | is this a cvs checkout? |
11:51.24 | Skeeve | it is |
11:51.33 | brlcad | when was it first checked out? |
11:51.39 | Skeeve | done yesterday and updated a few hours ago |
11:52.04 | brlcad | hm |
11:52.12 | brlcad | do you have fink installed? |
11:52.16 | Skeeve | yes |
11:52.19 | brlcad | aha |
11:52.32 | brlcad | fink installs busted automake |
11:52.38 | Skeeve | ARGH |
11:52.49 | Skeeve | How can I fix that? |
11:52.54 | brlcad | take /sw/bin out of your path and rerun autogen.sh |
11:53.04 | brlcad | or for a quick fix |
11:53.04 | Skeeve | I don't like fink very much so I'd happy trash it |
11:53.19 | brlcad | sudo mv /sw /sw.backup |
11:53.26 | brlcad | then open a NEW terminal window |
11:53.42 | Skeeve | I'll patch the PATH |
11:53.48 | brlcad | and in there, go to bzflag srcdir and run make distclean (it will fail in plugins) |
11:54.03 | brlcad | then autogen.sh, configure, make etc again |
11:54.55 | Skeeve | It still reports the same old versions |
11:55.00 | brlcad | if you stick to apple's tools, it should all work just fine |
11:55.04 | Skeeve | Found GNU Autoconf version 2.59 Found GNU Automake version 1.6.3 Found GNU Libtool version 1.5.0 |
11:55.25 | brlcad | "which autoconf" report what? |
11:55.34 | Skeeve | DTRemenak said they are "disproportionally old" |
11:55.55 | Skeeve | /usr/bin/autoconf |
11:55.57 | brlcad | well, they are .. automake in particular, but they work |
11:56.14 | Skeeve | ls /sw/bin/auto* |
11:56.21 | Skeeve | wrong window |
11:56.29 | brlcad | ~ww |
11:56.30 | ibot | Was the window wrong or are you wrong? |
11:56.35 | brlcad | :) |
11:56.40 | Skeeve | There is no auto* in /sw/bin |
11:56.56 | brlcad | it can be one of several support tools |
11:57.10 | brlcad | libtoolize? libtool? m4? |
11:57.14 | brlcad | perl? |
11:57.25 | Skeeve | Oh My God! |
11:57.33 | Skeeve | Shall I test all of them |
11:57.49 | brlcad | it's really easier to just move /sw out of the way and test that first |
11:57.50 | Skeeve | BTW: 2.0.8 compiled (almost) fine using a tarball |
11:57.55 | brlcad | then you can try to isolate it if it works |
11:58.17 | brlcad | you might have something else going on, though I've got clean mac os x 10.4 builds going here |
11:58.56 | brlcad | the source tarball's already have the configure scripts and Makefiles generated for you and support tools shoved into the right places |
11:59.45 | brlcad | the recovery steps are sort of important as autogen.sh/autoreconf will behave entirely differently based on what files already exist |
12:00.15 | Skeeve | i ran make distclean |
12:00.21 | brlcad | almost better to just check out fresh while you're trying to get it working if you don't know what all those gnu build system steps are |
12:00.21 | Skeeve | then ./autogen.sh |
12:00.37 | Skeeve | and ./configure --enable-optimized now |
12:00.57 | Skeeve | Okay... I'll do so if this fails |
12:01.20 | brlcad | seriously, if it fails, try moving /sw out of the way if only to test it |
12:01.47 | brlcad | otherwise you can be fighting against bash path hashing, or resource files that acinclude might be pointing to or some wierd shlt |
12:02.23 | Skeeve | Okay |
12:02.58 | Skeeve | what should top_srcdir be in the plugins/ directories? |
12:03.04 | brlcad | .. |
12:03.27 | brlcad | you're building in place I assume? |
12:03.30 | Skeeve | okay... I have to attend a conf call... Thanks so far... I'll be back ;-) |
12:03.44 | brlcad | okie dokie, best of luck |
12:09.48 | Skeeve | I think I can attend both... IRC & the conf call |
12:09.58 | Manu | good morning brlcad |
12:10.01 | Skeeve | I still get ../misc/depcomp file not found |
12:10.53 | Skeeve | the Makefile in Rogue* contains depcomp = $(SHELL) $(top_srcdir)/misc/depcomp |
12:11.18 | Skeeve | So no wonder it can't find when top_srcdir = .. is correct |
12:11.27 | brlcad | top_srcdir becomes ../.. at that level |
12:11.57 | brlcad | it's ".." in plugins/Makefile and "../.." in the plugin dir Makefiles |
12:12.06 | Skeeve | Nope. It's .. So I have to go the long way of a new checkout |
12:12.10 | brlcad | at least when everything is set up correctly ;) |
12:12.26 | brlcad | yeah, go the new checkout route with /sw moved aside |
12:12.36 | brlcad | you do have all your apple updates yes? |
12:12.41 | Skeeve | Nope |
12:12.44 | Skeeve | 10.4.5 |
12:12.58 | brlcad | i mean dev tool updates |
12:13.03 | Skeeve | 2.3 |
12:13.10 | Skeeve | Installed just today |
12:13.26 | Skeeve | Jeff already told me my 2.1 is outdated |
12:13.27 | brlcad | nothing in /usr/local/bin that might cause problems? |
12:13.46 | Skeeve | cisco_cert_mgr fontforge neon-config svnadmin svnversion exifcom ipseclog pophelp.sh svndumpfilter vpn_uninstall exiftags mencoder sfddiff svnlook vpnclient exiftime mplayer svn svnserve xmlwf |
12:13.58 | Skeeve | Looks okay |
12:14.00 | brlcad | that should be fine |
12:14.01 | Skeeve | I guess |
12:14.28 | brlcad | yeah, try fresh next without /sw |
12:14.51 | brlcad | and run autogen.sh -v when you do .. save that output to a file so I can look at it |
12:15.11 | Skeeve | I'll do so |
12:15.49 | Skeeve | I have to go to sourceforge to copy & paste the checkout commands ;-) |
12:24.12 | Skeeve | top_srcdir is still .. |
12:24.42 | Skeeve | What shall I do with my protocoll |
12:26.10 | brlcad | your protocol? |
12:26.24 | brlcad | you can put your steps and the autogen output in pastebin |
12:26.27 | brlcad | ~pastebin |
12:26.44 | ibot | somebody said pastebin was a place to paste your stuff without flooding the channel - try http://pastebin.com/ (BROKEN AND SUCKING NUTS), or http://pastebin.ca, or http://channels.debian.net/paste, or for #oe use http://oe.pastebin.com, or http://bzflag.pastebin.ca/ |

13:57.00 | _sussi | wow |
13:57.22 | Pommes | Skeeve: what does it do? |
13:57.27 | Skeeve | DTRemenak has applied it to 2.1 |
13:57.47 | Skeeve | It supports Hatswitches/D-Pads on Joysticks and Gamepads |
13:57.56 | Pommes | ah |
13:58.14 | Skeeve | Are you from Belgium, Pommes? ;-) |
13:58.20 | Pommes | no - germany |
13:58.24 | Skeeve | Ich auch |
13:58.32 | _sussi | do u know the patches for the radars? |
13:58.36 | _sussi | ich auch |
13:58.42 | Skeeve | Radarpatches? |
13:59.02 | _sussi | yep |
13:59.22 | Skeeve | Hab welche gesehen auf sourceforge |
13:59.41 | _sussi | Skeeve: just a idea to make a radar-distance logarithmic |
14:00.29 | Skeeve | No. I haven't seen something like that. |
14:00.46 | Skeeve | <PROTECTED> |
14:00.53 | Skeeve | That's what I saw |
14:01.27 | _sussi | right |
14:02.03 | _sussi | if u turn than must a aproaching bullet draw a straight line ?1 |
14:02.57 | Skeeve | Are you asking me? I don't know what you mean. Versuchs mal auf Deutsch bitte. |
14:11.35 | _sussi | wenn die Entfernung auf dem Radar eine logaritmische funktion ist, dann müste doch eien sich annähernde Kugel und wen du dich drehst , eine Gerade auf dem Radar sein |
14:13.14 | Skeeve | Hmmm... Wenn der Radar Kreisförmig aufgebaut ist |
14:13.25 | Skeeve | und sie direkt auf dich zufliegt, dann ja, denke ich |
14:14.01 | Skeeve | Schwierig wird es mit einem rechteckigen Aufbau |
14:16.10 | _sussi | einen Patch für rundes Radar gibts schon |
14:16.37 | Skeeve | Dann sind da noch die vorbeifliegenden Kugeln |
14:16.55 | Skeeve | Die müßten dann auch bogenförmig erscheinen, denke ich |
14:17.14 | Skeeve | Ich stelle mir das gerade vor, wie einen Ball auf den Du schaust |
14:17.42 | Skeeve | wenn Du im Zentrum des Kreises bist, den dieser Ball ja beim draufschauen darstelt |
14:18.01 | Skeeve | Dann sollte eine Gerade, die an Dir vorbei führt, einen Bogen ergeben |
14:18.16 | Skeeve | Unabhängig davon, ob man sich dreht oder nicht |
14:20.34 | _sussi | ja denke ich auch |
14:21.00 | _sussi | aber wichtig sind die Kugeln auf der Geraden, denn die dürften dich treffen |
14:21.16 | Skeeve | Ja. Sehe ich auch so |
14:21.55 | _sussi | muss nicht immer eine Gerade sein da die Geschwindikeit von der Geschwindigkeit vom feuerenden Tank abhängt |
14:22.20 | Skeeve | Ohje.. Nu wird's mir zu komplex ;-) |
14:22.35 | Skeeve | Meine Mathekenntnisse sind arg eingerostet |
14:22.46 | _sussi | aber gut das du die Idee verstehst |
14:23.17 | Skeeve | Ich weiß aber nicht, ob ich so einen Radar möchte ;-) |
14:24.24 | _sussi | das wird sich zeigen |
14:25.41 | Skeeve | Du kennst Dich nicht mit configure aus, oder? bricad antwortet nicht mehr und ich verzweifel hier beim compilieren |
14:28.02 | _sussi | just ask |
14:29.14 | Skeeve | The makefiles in plugins/* contain top_srcdir = .. instead of top_srcdir = ../.. and I have no idea how to fix that. All the other */* Makefiles seem okay. Just plugins is wrong |

15:28.08 | blast007 | was it built with curses? |
15:32.56 | a_temp_dist | it's the release version |
15:34.15 | a_temp_dist | when I press F2 it sends "OQ" to chat - this has been the case for the last few releases |

15:54.01 | JeffM2501 | L4m3r, you have the nvidia drivers? |
15:54.31 | L4m3r | Yes (via adept) |
15:54.57 | JeffM2501 | I'd make sure they are the current ones |
15:55.10 | JeffM2501 | that may help with your screen resize |
15:55.24 | JeffM2501 | you may also want to go into the config and set the default to a screen size you know X is setup for |
15:55.36 | JeffM2501 | basicly bz says "got to this res" and X says "no" |
15:57.42 | I_Died_Once | one thing about kubuntu - you can change the screen size, but the X module doesnt allow you to position it |
15:57.45 | L4m3r | well, it doesn't seem to like anything higher than 1024x768 |
15:57.54 | I_Died_Once | I had to use the buttons on the front of the monitor |
15:58.24 | I_Died_Once | plus, you gotta STRL ALT BACKSPACE after each change to the x display system for changes to take effect |
15:58.32 | I_Died_Once | **CTRL |
15:58.32 | JeffM2501 | that may be your problem, X may not know all your screen sizes |
15:58.37 | L4m3r | Is there a line in the conf that will let me go to 1024x768? I don't see a saved resolution anywhere? |
15:59.01 | I_Died_Once | I've had to edit in 1280x1024 inthe past |
15:59.07 | JeffM2501 | let me look |
16:00.31 | I_Died_Once | Want me to share my xorg conf file via pastebin? I ahve high res's than 1024x768 |
16:00.37 | I_Died_Once | you can copy and paste vallues |
16:00.45 | L4m3r | no, I'm talking about BZ |
16:00.50 | JeffM2501 | set resolution "2560x1024 @75Hz 32 bits" |
16:01.02 | JeffM2501 | you can take out the refresh |
16:01.03 | I_Died_Once | ...well I feel like an idiot |
16:02.10 | L4m3r | weird that resolution isn't already in there |
16:02.17 | L4m3r | how does the client remember? |
16:02.29 | JeffM2501 | it's probably never closed sane, so it never set it |
16:02.41 | JeffM2501 | if it dosnt' have one it means first run |
16:02.43 | JeffM2501 | so just add it |
16:04.34 | L4m3r | hm... still not working |
16:04.52 | JeffM2501 | wierd |
16:05.15 | JeffM2501 | I'd get the current nvidias from them, the ones in the package system may not be the most current |
16:05.26 | L4m3r | alright |
16:05.28 | TD-Linux | L4m3r: I posted on your sound issue |
16:05.34 | L4m3r | thx |
16:05.36 | JeffM2501 | but it probably is just the fact that X dosn't know all about your display |
16:06.35 | TD-Linux | Xorg.conf is generally considered a black art... and black arts are what pastebins were designed for |
16:06.39 | TD-Linux | ;) |
16:07.56 | JeffM2501 | yeah geting it to know your display is sometimes "fun" |
16:08.19 | JeffM2501 | I had to put in some wierd code voodoo to get it to do my native res at home |
16:10.31 | L4m3r | well, before I dive in, I need to fix a couple things (reboot). brb. |

16:16.57 | L4m3r | well, xorg.conf has all the modes that bzflag has listed |
16:17.23 | JeffM2501 | there are often special codes that tell it what sycn rate to work at |
16:18.05 | JeffM2501 | I had to search yon web for my specific display |
16:18.30 | L4m3r | great... |
16:18.46 | L4m3r | this is an old 21" no-name CRT |
16:19.10 | JeffM2501 | but hey at least it's not windows, where you install the driver and it works, cus that's just wrong and evil! |
16:19.16 | blast007 | ~google old 21" no-name CRT with linux |
16:19.36 | blast007 | hmm |
16:19.52 | L4m3r | Windows doesn't really come in flavors, either :P |
16:19.57 | JeffM2501 | sure it does |
16:19.59 | blast007 | Vista does |
16:20.04 | JeffM2501 | home, pro |
16:20.13 | blast007 | vista has like, what 7 of them? |
16:20.42 | L4m3r | yes, but that's just UI and installed crap, is it not? it's not like the versions actually differ below the surface level |
16:20.45 | blast007 | server 2003 has 4 |
16:22.11 | DTRemenak | Skeeve: brlcad's name is brlcad (with an L), not bricad (with an I)...if you use the correct name he's more likely to answer (makes his client beep) |
16:23.23 | DTRemenak | L4m3r: no, they're relatively different at a lower level too. there's a comparison chart on microsoft's website somewhere |
16:24.05 | blast007 | the 'web' version of Server 2003 is really stripped down |
16:24.44 | L4m3r | so will some software actually have different versions for the different Vistas? |
16:25.04 | blast007 | hmm |
16:25.08 | DTRemenak | L4m3r: no, but some software will probably require one of the more expensive ones |

16:25.23 | L4m3r | Ick. |
16:25.30 | DTRemenak | exactly |
16:25.43 | DTRemenak | IMHO Microsoft is shooting themselves in their collective foot |
16:25.50 | blast007 | "MSPaint requires the Ultimate version of Vista. Please insert your credit card." |
16:25.54 | L4m3r | don't they want something obscene for the "ultimate" version? |
16:26.02 | DTRemenak | yeah, close to $300 |
16:26.09 | DTRemenak | for upgrade, iirc |
16:26.10 | blast007 | I need to try out that version |
16:26.26 | blast007 | we just got Beta 2 thru our MSDN subscription at work |
16:26.40 | L4m3r | and they wonder why 50% of their users don't actually /buy/ it... *cough* |
16:26.57 | DTRemenak | I'm not going to upgrade if I can help it |
16:27.14 | blast007 | by the time Vista comes out, I'll be using linux for the most part |
16:27.15 | JeffM2501 | wow, one comment and you all go off on a rant |
16:27.24 | blast007 | maybe a little XP for gaming |

16:27.48 | JeffM2501 | it takes out the aggression |
16:27.51 | L4m3r | not so much hatred as persistent annoyance |
16:27.52 | JeffM2501 | it's just software |

16:31.33 | JeffM2501 | no, you can write a display ini |
16:31.38 | JeffM2501 | if oyu wanted to |
16:31.42 | JeffM2501 | just like an x config |
16:31.47 | DTRemenak | for monitors, sure |
16:31.50 | DTRemenak | not for other junk |
16:32.02 | JeffM2501 | the driver SDK is free ;) |
16:33.11 | JeffM2501 | so if you know the hardware you can write a driver, just like you can on nix |
16:33.34 | JeffM2501 | it's just not as config file changeable as nix. |

16:34.11 | JeffM2501 | yeah most SDKs are |
16:34.23 | DTRemenak | the DDK cost $450 or so last time I checked |
16:34.41 | DTRemenak | course that was a couple years ago |
16:34.50 | JeffM2501 | they do actualy want people to use the thing |
16:34.58 | JeffM2501 | hence free VC etc... |

16:36.24 | spldart | Considering the ebb and flow of the conversation I'd like to thank Jeff again for getting me over the hump to comitting to linux for everyday use. |

16:37.05 | JeffM2501 | vista does seem odd |
16:37.11 | JeffM2501 | I will be waiting a year or so |
16:37.24 | JeffM2501 | some of the linux variants scare me too |
16:37.29 | DTRemenak | I probably just won't upgrade. but I have more tolerance for using old stuff than you do :) |
16:37.30 | JeffM2501 | like the "all java" OS |
16:37.44 | spldart | Heck... if Xpdf was a more featured tool I'd not even bother with dual boot on this work rig |

16:39.49 | DTRemenak | ah |
16:40.04 | DTRemenak | have you tried acrobat reader for linux? |
16:40.09 | spldart | no |
16:40.16 | spldart | I wasn't aware of such an animal |
16:40.21 | spldart | don't know why I didn't look |
16:40.24 | DTRemenak | it's not as "nice" as the windows variant, but it's pretty good |
16:41.22 | JeffM2501 | ahh good, GL 1.0 was pulled |
16:41.24 | DTRemenak | if you don't care about printing, you can use the windows version of adobe reader on wine |
16:41.41 | DTRemenak | printing is busted though |
16:41.49 | Chestal | spldart: there are also other PDF viewers besides xpdf,gnome has one, KDE, too. Not sure if they have the features you need |
16:41.57 | DTRemenak | JeffM2501: yeah, I think you did that some months ago :) |
16:42.07 | JeffM2501 | I think trepan did it |
16:42.10 | spldart | wow.. downloading now.. I'm excited to try this out when I get home |
16:42.11 | JeffM2501 | I started it but never finished |
16:42.11 | DTRemenak | ah |
16:42.27 | DTRemenak | spldart: glad I could help. rebooting is a PITA |
16:42.44 | DTRemenak | sadly MSVC has its iron grip on me :) |
16:43.14 | spldart | gnome and kde didn't help much.. Imma test this version out, 7.0.8 when I get home... if it's got what I need it'll go on every machine :) |
16:43.41 | JeffM2501 | XP is prety nice |
16:43.46 | DTRemenak | running xp now |
16:43.49 | JeffM2501 | once you turn off the crap |
16:43.55 | spldart | Does wine give you much overhead? |
16:44.12 | spldart | Some of the service manuals are kinda taxing in sheer size and detain in the graphics |
16:44.24 | DTRemenak | my 2k cd was scratched and it was less work to just d/l xp from software.caltech.edu than to fix it or find another :) |
16:44.38 | DTRemenak | wine's overhead is pretty limited |
16:44.50 | spldart | I really need to check that out too... someday heh |
16:44.56 | DTRemenak | it starts a number of other processes, totalling ~20mb |
16:45.13 | DTRemenak | once it's all up, additional wine programs add no overhead whatsoever |
16:45.24 | DTRemenak | aside from context switching in wineserver |
16:45.34 | spldart | reason I ask is cuz the Geforce 2 card is overwhelmed at times and the memory speed is too on some manuals |
16:45.50 | DTRemenak | kinda like loading qt or gtk...wine is just another api layer and toolkit |
16:46.01 | spldart | thanks for the info :) |
16:46.37 | DTRemenak | what we've found is that games (when they run correctly) tend to run faster in wine than they do on native windows |
16:46.50 | spldart | REALLY? |
16:47.05 | spldart | Seems counterintuitive |
16:47.08 | DTRemenak | yup. linux is a better platform for the kind of heavy-duty work that games tend to do |
16:47.51 | DTRemenak | that's mostly seen in opengl games. direct3d games generally don't work right, so there's not much point in benchmarking them. tend to be a bit slower because we have to translate everything to opengl |

17:32.34 | JBdiGriz | so the server has to send the world multiple times simultaneously to the users? |
17:32.53 | ATD_ | is there a problem loading worlds now? |
17:33.39 | JeffM2501 | only if the game changes maps |
17:33.54 | JeffM2501 | basicly allowing maps to change with out a restart or loosing scores |
17:34.09 | ATD_ | wow that sounds cool |
17:34.11 | JeffM2501 | ATD_, right now you have yo restart to change maps |
17:35.08 | JBdiGriz | You might find some interesting side effects with overloading the network. I have noticed it on the silvercat site when they switch maps on a restart. |
17:35.27 | JeffM2501 | it won't be any worse then when that happens network wise |
17:35.32 | JBdiGriz | It's not that noticable with only a few clients, but get up to 10, and it starts losing some other things. |
17:35.45 | JeffM2501 | yeah it's a lot of data to sling out |
17:36.16 | JBdiGriz | It's not the network wide issue, it's the server's connection that will start seeing some problems, and the recovery code in bz needs a lot of help. |
17:36.22 | JeffM2501 | quake handles it by having all clients have most maps anyway, and only send out the people who don't have them |

17:36.52 | JeffM2501 | tho that is rare I would think |
17:37.13 | JBdiGriz | That's exactly my point. It's not rare on silvercat where it switches the maps and people rejoin. |
17:37.33 | JeffM2501 | ok, so again it wont' be any worse then that :) |
17:37.41 | JeffM2501 | i'm just taking out the reboot requirement |
17:37.56 | JBdiGriz | The developers all assumed that the network is perfect, and you couldn't possibly have problems with connections or sending packets. ;) |
17:38.05 | JeffM2501 | oh I'm sure it boggs down |
17:38.08 | JeffM2501 | does it drop people? |
17:38.10 | bryjen | shouldn't that hashing and cacheing help with that? (obviously not for on-the-fly generated maps) |
17:38.55 | JBdiGriz | It definitely loses registrations. It can lose people, and I've seen a couple of client hangs because of it. |
17:39.06 | JeffM2501 | I'm not 100% sure how it works, but I'm gonna send the state back to that point so all that still will happen |
17:39.29 | JeffM2501 | well yeah the reboot would kill tokens, I'm gonna keep player records, so that will be ok |
17:39.41 | JeffM2501 | they won't have to send a new msgEnter |
17:39.48 | JBdiGriz | I'm just giving you a heads up of some "possible" results, so you won't be too surprised. |
17:39.52 | JeffM2501 | ok |
17:40.05 | DTRemenak | servers with heavy player loads should use cached maps distributed by http |
17:40.10 | JeffM2501 | well I'll be making client mods too to support it, so bugs tehre can be fixed |
17:40.26 | DTRemenak | it's a *lot* faster and doesn't tie up the server loop |
17:40.29 | A_Meteorite | DTRemenak: what's the option for that again? and to generate cached maps? |
17:40.30 | JeffM2501 | yeah |
17:40.39 | A_Meteorite | I could use that for boxy war :) |
17:40.40 | DTRemenak | A_Meteorite: "man bzfs" I think |
17:40.48 | A_Meteorite | ahh, yes, that's a miracle worker |
17:40.52 | DTRemenak | actually I just don't remember :) |
17:40.56 | JeffM2501 | techincaly the plugin could presend the resource request too and let it happen async on the client :) |
17:41.29 | JeffM2501 | no that's what woman is for ;) |
17:41.34 | A_Meteorite | lol |
17:41.50 | A_Meteorite | argh, bzfs didn't install the manual pages... |
17:41.51 | A_Meteorite | grr |
17:42.07 | JBdiGriz | JeffM2501: They read your mind? How do they get it so wrong all of the time? |
17:42.31 | JeffM2501 | wellI never said they were good at it, but they try |
17:43.10 | CIA-6 | BZFlag: 03jeffm2501 * 10bzflag/ (include/bzfsAPI.h src/bzfs/bzfs.cxx): rename the world get event to be a litle more descriptive. Move it up in the order of things, and let the plugins return a map file instead of just adding a bunch of objects. |

17:45.43 | JeffM2501 | DTRemenak, that's why I want to just send it back to the exiting code |
17:45.44 | A_Meteorite | then it would know :) |
17:45.45 | DTRemenak | i.e. that you can switch from one cached map to another |
17:45.50 | DTRemenak | ah, ok :) |
17:46.01 | JeffM2501 | so that all that stuff works |

18:25.07 | Mr_Molez | ofcourse it can land on a pyramid |
18:25.26 | brad | no it can't.. |
18:25.49 | A-Delusion | you can specify mutiple points, but it randomly chooses which one to fly to. |
18:26.07 | A-Delusion | what would happen if you made the entire map a flag safe zone? |
18:26.37 | SpazzyMcGee | the flag would go to the center of the zone would it not? |
18:27.05 | SpazzyMcGee | or the nearest flat piece of land? |
18:27.08 | A-Delusion | I think a random point, somewhere within the zone. |
18:27.17 | A-Delusion | anywhere? |
18:27.39 | SpazzyMcGee | try it and find out |
18:27.53 | A-Delusion | that's what I always say |

18:31.19 | A-Delusion | safety zone, that's what it's called |
18:31.31 | SpazzyMcGee | i'll do it - it's about 10 lines of code |
18:32.45 | SpazzyMcGee | what's the zone syntax for safety? |
18:33.24 | Mr_Molez | safety 1 2 3 4 # dropped team flags will fly to the closest safety zone |

20:36.43 | spldart | I think I figured out part of the attraction of bzflag to me... I used to love making my own levels in 'Loadrunner' on Apple II back in high school LOL... Reminds me of hacking Ultima IV with a hex editor to cheat :) |
20:37.05 | A_Meteorite | hex editor.. that just SOUNDS scary |
20:37.28 | spldart | I used to give myself FF potiones and FF health and FF hitpoints |
20:37.47 | A_Meteorite | so, who is maintaining the python plugin? |

20:38.10 | Matt123 | is ther a way anyone can do anything about a server |
20:38.16 | Matt123 | a cheater |
20:38.17 | A_Meteorite | ah, thanks JeffM2501 |
20:38.18 | Matt123 | oops |
20:38.19 | Matt123 | :P |
20:38.19 | Ballard | ya |
20:38.24 | A_Meteorite | Matt123: yeah, get me to come |
20:38.26 | Ballard | major cheater |
20:38.30 | JeffM2501 | Matt123, can you be more vauge? |
20:38.38 | JeffM2501 | I think you can if you try harder |
20:38.41 | Matt123 | ph03n1x @ dalers |
20:38.46 | spldart | Ah |
20:38.47 | Ballard | there is a cheater on daler's |
20:38.50 | A_Meteorite | darn, not an admin there |
20:38.56 | spldart | he was just voted off of a server I was a few minmutes ago |
20:39.00 | A_Meteorite | amazing ;) |
20:39.04 | spldart | I'd like an IP |
20:39.13 | Matt123 | i cant get one |
20:39.15 | Ballard | ive banned him 3 times |
20:39.25 | Ballard | but daler keeps unbanning hik |
20:39.29 | spldart | I know.. whoever gets him please give me an ip so I can |
20:40.28 | spldart | I wonder why daler unbans |
20:40.39 | Matt123 | now daler has the cleint, 2.0.420060718 |
20:40.41 | A_Meteorite | he has an evil master plan |
20:40.43 | spldart | He got voted a, what?, 5 hour ban just a minute ago |
20:40.46 | A_Meteorite | brb |
20:41.03 | Matt123 | stable linux |
20:41.31 | Mr_Molez | maybe the cheater is daler :P |
20:41.36 | Matt123 | yea |
20:41.40 | spldart | hrm |
20:41.45 | Matt123 | that isnt a correct date |
20:41.55 | JeffM2501 | how can you say that? |
20:42.01 | JeffM2501 | what if he built from source? |
20:42.08 | spldart | indeed |
20:42.30 | Matt123 | but wouldnt it still say the date it was released? |
20:42.33 | JeffM2501 | no |
20:42.37 | I_Died_Once | http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/1390/grasshopperoi8.jpg |
20:42.39 | JeffM2501 | not if he re-ran autogen |
20:43.05 | spldart | even when I fresh built 1.10 i got a current date ;) |
20:43.08 | JeffM2501 | I_Died_Once, how bout you do the images in bzchat, not the dev channel from now on, ok? |
20:43.09 | Mr_Molez | i dont see the point of people being able to check clientquery of others |
20:44.04 | JeffM2501 | yeah, the only ones that keep the date are the ones in the bins, you can make any tarball say the current date |
20:44.07 | Matt123 | dalerc and ph03n1x are flying w/o wg |
20:44.21 | JeffM2501 | it is odd that he would build 2.0.4 today, but it's not proof of anything in itself |
20:44.22 | spldart | yes they are... and fast |
20:44.33 | Matt123 | he has wg now |
20:44.34 | JeffM2501 | Matt123, if you ahve problems there, then play somewhere else |
20:44.40 | Ballard | and they have Sw |
20:44.41 | Mr_Molez | JeffM2501: wouldn't that be classed as a cheat server :P |
20:44.42 | JeffM2501 | and we don't need the blow by blow |
20:44.48 | I_Died_Once | ge the IP so I can ban them from the site - give em the mofoban |
20:44.49 | ATD_ | DalerC seems to allow his "hacking" friend to play on his server |
20:44.50 | JeffM2501 | Mr_Molez, possibly |
20:45.32 | JeffM2501 | admins can do what ever they want on there servers, we just ask that they not be advertised as "cheat" servers in public |
20:45.33 | Ballard | the hacker said that he is sitting next to daler at work |
20:45.53 | Ballard | so he is a close feriend |
20:45.55 | spldart | Less talk, more ip |
20:45.59 | JeffM2501 | then it's a poorly admined server if the owner lets stuff like that happen, play somewhere else |
20:46.01 | spldart | LOL |
20:46.19 | Ballard | how in the hell do u suppose we do that spldart |
20:46.22 | Mr_Molez | yay now finally i know of a public cheat server yay |
20:46.32 | JeffM2501 | oh I'm sure you know of more |
20:46.38 | spldart | Didn't say you could, should... |
20:47.01 | A_Meteorite | heh... |
20:47.09 | A_Meteorite | is he the same one who uses a ton of bots to get on the top? |

20:47.26 | CBG | A_Meteorite: are you thinking of pythonian? |
20:47.31 | A_Meteorite | CBG: daler's too |
20:47.35 | Matt123 | no daler does too |
20:47.40 | CBG | heh |
20:47.41 | Ballard | daler had like 20 bot on ther |
20:47.46 | A_Meteorite | ... I just said that |
20:48.40 | ATD_ | Daler is 65.171.232.106 ph03n1x is 65.171.232.16 |

21:07.46 | JeffM2501 | were you looking to do some more password scamming? |

21:08.50 | JeffM2501 | it was a joke man ;) |

21:10.24 | JeffM2501 | or is global prevealent enough? |
21:10.30 | Mr_Molez | actually that reminds me i need to take -passdb and -userdb out of my configs seen as ol now only supports global login |
21:10.44 | JeffM2501 | you think mos people are doing global? |
21:10.47 | JeffM2501 | if they do perms at all? |
21:10.56 | Mr_Molez | JeffM2501: i know of some |
21:10.58 | blast007 | I think a lot at least do a passdb |
21:11.03 | JeffM2501 | hmm |
21:11.09 | blast007 | many probably just give out the /password |
21:11.12 | brad | I use local stuff still |

21:11.25 | *** join/#bzflag QuantumBeep (n=QB@adsl-33-221-69.lft.bellsouth.net) |
21:11.27 | JeffM2501 | think it's cus they don't trust global? global is too hard to unserdtand? or just apathy? |
21:11.33 | ATD_ | So do I - for bots and stuff |
21:11.49 | ATD_ | for nicks that I don't want to register |
21:11.54 | brad | local is easier to have different admins on different servers |
21:11.59 | blast007 | JeffM2501: some do it as a backup in case global is slow/down |
21:12.15 | JeffM2501 | ahh |
21:12.16 | blast007 | that way they can still have cops that can ban cheaters and such |
21:12.18 | JeffM2501 | fair engouh |
21:13.20 | JeffM2501 | so maybe if we get a more redundant system that would help more people move |
21:13.23 | JeffM2501 | over to global |
21:13.42 | blast007 | right |
21:13.43 | Mr_Molez | global being down alot and being doesn't help people want to move :P |
21:13.53 | Mr_Molez | *and bein slow |
21:15.32 | JeffM2501 | that I can understand |
21:15.54 | JeffM2501 | if we had a more redundant system it would hopefully be faster and not ever fully down |
21:16.00 | JeffM2501 | spread the load as it were |
21:16.10 | orange | yes, distributed, not failover |
21:16.25 | JeffM2501 | a couple options have been discussed |
21:16.30 | JeffM2501 | I think iut's something needed |
21:16.35 | *** join/#bzflag SpazzyMcGee (n=SpazzyMc@fordend.demon.co.uk) |
21:17.07 | JeffM2501 | but ok, so then at least for 2.2 we should make local login server do a hash thing, and ask the client if they want to send there password to the server. |
21:17.30 | JeffM2501 | then at least it's not plaintext in the chat logs and users would know a litte more about what they are doing |
21:18.01 | JeffM2501 | maybe give a config option for a password to use for non global servers |
21:18.26 | JeffM2501 | just think outloud |
21:18.35 | brad | if someone really wanted to get passwords from logs they could anyway |
21:18.39 | JeffM2501 | yeah |
21:18.44 | brad | so it seems pointless if global login is better |
21:18.53 | brad | although it isn't yet in some ways |
21:18.59 | JeffM2501 | yeah but if we can't get everyone to move... |
21:19.06 | JeffM2501 | that's why I say ask the client if they want to send it |
21:19.11 | brad | yeah.. |
21:19.13 | JeffM2501 | and make it at least a "little" hard ;) |
21:19.23 | brad | sure |
21:19.36 | JeffM2501 | those few steps may be ok for the there servers that want to still use it |
21:20.06 | brad | yup |
21:20.09 | trepan | kill it dead ;) |
21:20.14 | JeffM2501 | trepan, I did |
21:20.25 | trepan | but you want to reinstate it? |
21:21.05 | JeffM2501 | not really, but if noone makes a better global system before 2.2, and somone else wants to build an internem local one that dosn't use chat, I'd not try to stop them. |
21:21.23 | JeffM2501 | as long as it asked the user |
21:21.29 | JeffM2501 | I don't want to do the work ;) |
21:21.39 | JeffM2501 | rather see the global stuff get the upgrade personaly |
21:21.47 | JeffM2501 | it's probably even less work to enhance global |
21:22.07 | JeffM2501 | I say for 2.2 we change over to a new distributed list system, screw backwards compatability |
21:22.15 | JeffM2501 | just have it be able to use the same user database |
21:22.33 | JeffM2501 | all the tools will have to be updated for 2.2 anyay |
21:22.59 | JeffM2501 | then just leave the old list running for the old servers |

21:24.30 | JeffM2501 | maybe something based off a compiled app or service that can be runn over a buch of machiens, so we don't have the overhad of php |
21:27.04 | trepan | you think php is the bottleneck? |
21:28.25 | JeffM2501 | not all of it no, but the http->php->mysql sutf ain't helping performance |
21:28.44 | JeffM2501 | brlcad was the one that sugested the idea after all his work on the server |
21:29.18 | JeffM2501 | O |
21:29.34 | JeffM2501 | I'm sure the fact that it's web based dosn't help in the ability to disribute the work |
21:29.53 | JeffM2501 | tho I don't know much about mysql sharing and stuff |
21:33.49 | uso_p | do you get correct tokens from global if both server and clients are on a lan behind a firewall? |
21:34.19 | JeffM2501 | sure |
21:34.36 | JeffM2501 | its a caching proxy that can screw yah |
21:34.58 | uso_p | thought the ip was coded into the token |
21:35.00 | JeffM2501 | both systerms send OUT a request to the list server |
21:35.17 | JeffM2501 | no the list server keeps the IP of the token requester |
21:35.29 | JeffM2501 | then the list server sends the IP and the token for verification |
21:35.36 | spldart | Will new proto be an hour or two soon or just sometime today soon? Was thinking of throwing on some Babylon 5 |
21:35.43 | spldart | hehe |
21:35.54 | JeffM2501 | I could commit now, but that means no testing :) |
21:36.12 | spldart | By no means don't do anything without being happy with it :~) |
21:36.14 | bryjen | s/caching// a transparent one will as well since the IP that requested the token will be the proxy and the IP bzfs sees will be the real client |
21:36.15 | uso_p | but if the requester connects to the server with a different (i.e. local) ip to the server shouldn't the token be invalid |
21:36.35 | uso_p | ? |
21:36.52 | bryjen | it does make an exception for the private address ranges (10. 172.16. 192.168. ) |
21:36.55 | JeffM2501 | yeah, thats a proxy, not af irewall :) |
21:37.04 | JeffM2501 | and yes the locals |
21:37.09 | uso_p | that's a firewall with nat |
21:37.19 | romfis | uso ! :P |
21:37.23 | JeffM2501 | if the client and server are on difrent nats |
21:37.29 | JeffM2501 | then they are cool |
21:37.35 | uso_p | on the same lan |
21:37.46 | JeffM2501 | yeah that's where it makes exceptions for the non routables |
21:38.08 | uso_p | server and client on the same private lan behind a firewall with nat |
21:38.08 | JeffM2501 | most routers with nat do the lan on a non routeable |
21:38.23 | JeffM2501 | the list server is aware of and make an exception for those |
21:38.39 | JeffM2501 | it will also see that the server is requesting from the same IP as the client ;) |
21:39.15 | uso_p | yes, but it connects not with the same ip to the bzflag server |
21:39.32 | JeffM2501 | the game server dosn't care, it trusts the list server |
21:39.37 | uso_p | if it works, ok |
21:39.42 | JeffM2501 | the list server will say his token is good |
21:39.42 | CIA-6 | BZFlag: 03jeffm2501 * 10bzflag/ (17 files in 5 dirs): split the game type ( ffa, ctf, etc.. ) out from the game options, to make the type mutualy exclusive. |
21:41.03 | JeffM2501 | basicly the client will ask the list for a token, the list server will tive them a token, keep a copy ,and store the IP of the router |
21:41.15 | JeffM2501 | the server will get the token from the client via lan |
21:41.41 | JeffM2501 | send the token and the lan IP of the client to the list |
21:43.25 | JeffM2501 | then the list sees that the Ips don't match, but the server's Ip is the same as the client's IP, and the Ip the server sent was a lan IP, so it says it's cool as long as the token sent matches the stored one. |
21:43.34 | JeffM2501 | if I understand it correctly :) |
21:44.45 | uso_p | sounds at least logically :) |
21:45.19 | JeffM2501 | the only rason it comapres IPs is to make sure that somone didn't intercept your token to do an IP spoof |

22:09.33 | JeffM2501 | depends on your terminal |
22:09.38 | JeffM2501 | most just have it pipe to a file |
22:10.21 | bryjen | a gui terminal window should let you highlight with the mouse and copy |
22:10.25 | SportChick | JeffM2501: just did one - no spyware here |
22:10.40 | JeffM2501 | SportChick, it's hard to say from the vauge info |
22:10.53 | spldart_watchBab | Cleavon Little's Magazine |
22:10.53 | spldart_watchBab | XTerm didn't let me do that :( |
22:11.00 | SportChick | JeffM2501: understood. Any idea what I should look for to try and give you more specifics? |
22:11.15 | JeffM2501 | I'd look for other stuff running on your machine |
22:11.21 | JeffM2501 | it's probably munching up CPU time |
22:11.36 | JeffM2501 | or try to turn on power saver to have it use less cpu |
22:12.08 | spldart_watchBab | hehehe... didn't realize I had pasted that lol |
22:14.14 | JBdiGriz | Learn about I/O redirection in the shell. make 2>&1 | tee mk.log |
22:17.25 | JeffM2501 | any rason we have all the calls to "yieldCurrent" spread all over the main loop? |
22:17.36 | JeffM2501 | isn't it ok to just do one at the start or end? |
22:18.14 | uso | JeffM2501: why intercept the token if you can catch the password ;) |
22:18.24 | JeffM2501 | uso yeah totaly |
22:18.37 | JeffM2501 | I think he meant to encrypt it all at one point |

22:47.41 | spldart_watchBab | I grabbed head fresh and no errors either... |
22:47.45 | spldart_watchBab | I think it was my download |
22:47.52 | spldart_watchBab | By now lots of errors last time |
22:48.04 | brad | cvs head failed on my debian server |
22:48.32 | brad | would it help you to see the error? |
22:49.01 | JeffM2501 | sure pastebin it |
22:49.39 | brad | http://bzflag.pastebin.ca/91802 |
22:50.04 | JeffM2501 | when is that code from? |
22:50.19 | brad | yesterday morning I think |
22:50.24 | brad | I'll update.. |
22:50.59 | JeffM2501 | ohh yeah old code |
22:51.22 | JeffM2501 | yeah that's an old brlcad bug, it's been fixed |
22:51.30 | brad | ahh heh |
22:51.40 | JeffM2501 | tho oddly also in a section of code I modified today :) |
22:57.07 | spldart_watchBab | Ok... new fresh code and build is fine.. my other must have glitched the download cuz I've changed nothing else |
22:57.18 | JeffM2501 | good |
22:57.25 | JeffM2501 | as did mine |
22:57.37 | DTRemenak | JeffM2501: re: split the game type ( ffa, ctf, etc.. ) out from the game options, to make the type mutualy exclusive: did you change the list server to handle this too? |
22:57.49 | JeffM2501 | it's packed as part of the string thingy |
22:58.16 | DTRemenak | k. so just everyone who USES the list server has to change |
22:58.21 | JeffM2501 | I think it'll handle arbitray data there, but I was gonna fix it if it needed after I tested a public server at hoome |
22:58.29 | JeffM2501 | DTRemenak, yeah I THINK so |
22:58.35 | JeffM2501 | like 85% sure |
22:58.49 | DTRemenak | still gonna be a pain. m.b.o for one |
22:58.49 | JeffM2501 | it's packed up in that hex string thingy |
22:58.57 | JeffM2501 | yeah it'll have to update |
22:59.16 | JeffM2501 | it jsut didn't seem right to have them in there as bits |
22:59.28 | JeffM2501 | specialy when I'm leting the API set them now |
22:59.33 | DTRemenak | heh |
22:59.46 | DTRemenak | you should have a "custom" value also |
22:59.49 | JeffM2501 | just think now you have more room for your new option bits :) |
22:59.58 | JeffM2501 | yeah, thought about that |
23:00.04 | JeffM2501 | it's easy to add now |
23:00.04 | DTRemenak | so that game styles which are not on our list still work |
23:00.16 | DTRemenak | could even add a few of the common ones...1v1, htf, and so on |
23:00.18 | JeffM2501 | can have 65k game types :) |
23:00.44 | JeffM2501 | I think that will be enough ;) |
23:00.49 | DTRemenak | really we ought to implement htf in bzflag proper...wasn't someone gonna do that? |
23:01.34 | JeffM2501 | I was thinking of having a "custom" one then also packing in a string name for it on the ass end of the ping packet |
23:01.52 | JeffM2501 | so you'd see the name when you pinged the server for more info |
23:02.12 | JeffM2501 | depends how much the list server can hold in the string |
23:02.20 | DTRemenak | yeah, could do that |
23:02.24 | DTRemenak | that'd be kinda nifty |
23:02.30 | JeffM2501 | I didn't want to push it too much further, so I only added 2 chars ;) |
23:02.30 | spldart_watchBab | up on 0041 |
23:02.41 | JeffM2501 | spldart_watchBab, cool so now I can do 42 |
23:02.59 | JeffM2501 | naw I got a bit for 42 |
23:03.00 | spldart_watchBab | LOL |
23:03.05 | JeffM2501 | I got side tracked |
23:03.15 | JeffM2501 | mainloop needed some lovin |
23:03.31 | JeffM2501 | nice functions called "handleJoyStick" |
23:03.47 | DTRemenak | heh. I've been sidetracked all weekend. thought "great, I'll have a bunch of time to work on bz" and all I've been doing is reviewing patches... :) |
23:03.55 | JeffM2501 | heh |
23:04.03 | DTRemenak | great to see people interested though |
23:04.05 | JeffM2501 | and drive down here thrusday |
23:04.09 | DTRemenak | fly |
23:04.11 | JeffM2501 | wow |
23:04.13 | JeffM2501 | nice |
23:04.15 | DTRemenak | yeah |
23:04.17 | JeffM2501 | then fly right back? |
23:04.18 | DTRemenak | that's what I thought |
23:04.20 | DTRemenak | yup |
23:04.24 | JeffM2501 | cool |
23:04.29 | DTRemenak | fly down in the morning, back in the evening |
23:04.38 | JeffM2501 | how you getting here? |
23:05.04 | DTRemenak | last I heard chris was either gonna pick me up at the airport, or send someone to do the same |
23:05.10 | JeffM2501 | wow |
23:05.18 | JeffM2501 | they didn't do that for me :) |
23:05.26 | JeffM2501 | tho I lived in moorpark at the time |
23:05.34 | DTRemenak | yeah, you were local |
23:05.47 | JeffM2501 | umm you can see my old apt from this office |
23:05.50 | JeffM2501 | both of em |
23:05.56 | DTRemenak | cool |
23:06.01 | DTRemenak | is it a decent place to live? |
23:06.08 | JeffM2501 | moorpark, yeah ish |
23:06.17 | JeffM2501 | I don't live in moorpark anymore |
23:06.28 | DTRemenak | yeah, I know that...but you know more than I do :) |
23:06.30 | JeffM2501 | there are 4 other towns around here that are fine |
23:06.42 | JBdiGriz | note the backwards spelling for one opinion of moorpark |
23:06.44 | JeffM2501 | moorpark is quiet, but the main road is somewhat fulla trucks |
23:06.46 | DTRemenak | the way I figure, closer is better |
23:06.51 | JeffM2501 | ohh yeah, we totaly know that one :) |
23:07.01 | JeffM2501 | simi is like 2 miles away |
23:07.07 | JeffM2501 | Thousand oaks like 4 |
23:07.19 | DTRemenak | yeah, was looking at a map |
23:07.19 | JeffM2501 | and camarillo like 10 |
23:07.23 | JBdiGriz | How far until you get to some place with something to do? |
23:07.25 | JeffM2501 | so it's not like it's a big comute |
23:07.33 | JeffM2501 | ventura has a decent amount of stuff |
23:07.37 | JeffM2501 | as well as westlake |
23:07.48 | JeffM2501 | then you can hit up the vally in about 30 min |
23:07.52 | DTRemenak | JBdiGriz: I'm sure broadband is available, I'll have plenty to do :P |
23:07.53 | JeffM2501 | so not too bad |
23:08.04 | JBdiGriz | Westlake is perhaps the only interesting one nearby, and heading down to Malibu is also worthwhile. |
23:08.08 | JeffM2501 | ohh yeah, I don't know of a place around here with out it |
23:08.26 | JeffM2501 | I was able to get 6 megs down via DSL a the crap apartments ;) |
23:08.43 | JeffM2501 | ventura is cool :) |
23:08.47 | JBdiGriz | DTRemenak: Get a real life beyond the virtual life. You will discover some fascinating studies (especially in malibu/point dume) |
23:08.47 | JeffM2501 | I drive up there all the time |
23:08.52 | JeffM2501 | nice motocycle ride |
23:09.27 | JeffM2501 | there is a nice theater in Simi we usualy go to see movies at |
23:09.38 | JeffM2501 | tho this last time we went to a new one in camarillo |
23:10.00 | JBdiGriz | Camarillo, home of the pleasant valley pheasant pluckers. |
23:10.05 | JeffM2501 | heh |
23:10.11 | JeffM2501 | at least its' not oxnard ;) |
23:10.15 | JeffM2501 | the nard smells |
23:10.17 | DTRemenak | heh |
23:10.34 | JeffM2501 | you can get lots of cheap fruit out there tho |
23:10.37 | JBdiGriz | I had a gf who lived in Oxnard, of course we were in school at UCSD at the time. ;) |
23:10.55 | JeffM2501 | I mostly just try to drive thru the nard |
23:11.39 | JBdiGriz | There's some fun to be had down by the beach or Santa Monica, the valley, or in LA. Try to get down there occasionally. |
23:11.56 | JBdiGriz | And it's always better to see a first run movie in Westwood/Hollywood. |
23:12.17 | DTRemenak | I always avoid the first week or so of movies, too many people |
23:12.18 | JeffM2501 | it's not like it's his first time in socal man ;) |
23:12.34 | brad | <PROTECTED> |
23:12.36 | DTRemenak | and yeah I lived for like two years in pasadena :) |
23:12.36 | JeffM2501 | we sometimes bail early from work and see one first day at like 3:00 |
23:12.37 | brad | automake-1.6: plugins/Makefile.am: `plugins/Makefile.am' does not exist |
23:12.39 | JBdiGriz | He's been cloistered in Pasadena, home of the LOL. |

23:12.57 | JeffM2501 | brad, cvs update -dP |
23:13.01 | JeffM2501 | you are missing stuff |

23:14.30 | brlcad | wow, so much log for one day... |

23:15.37 | DTRemenak | yeah |

23:32.10 | JeffM2501 | ahh looks like best in a rasonable time |
23:32.17 | brlcad | the fastest will almost always be crap :) |
23:32.21 | JeffM2501 | yeah |
23:32.35 | JeffM2501 | we start high, and go lower |
23:32.42 | JeffM2501 | first one to be under a fixed limit is it |
23:32.43 | brlcad | 320x200, 8-bit, no texturing ;) |
23:33.36 | brlcad | hey, if the fps is higher than the refresh rate, it's plenty ;) |
23:33.58 | JeffM2501 | we shoot for 20fps |
23:34.01 | JeffM2501 | is that reasonable? |
23:34.21 | Mr_Molez | how come u can notice its slow when its under 110 fps.. but ur eyes can only see 30fps ? |
23:34.22 | JeffM2501 | basicly first one faster then 20fps is the one we pick |
23:34.33 | JeffM2501 | Mr_Molez, cus your display shears |
23:34.45 | Mr_Molez | oh ok :P |
23:34.47 | JeffM2501 | also some of the simulation code gets wonky when doing stuff that fast |
23:34.57 | JeffM2501 | the time delta becomes REALY REALY small |
23:34.57 | DTRemenak | yeah, the sim code is the problem at high rates |
23:35.07 | DTRemenak | 80fps or so is about the limit you can notice on a CRT |
23:35.24 | JeffM2501 | LCDs can vary more, they shrear more as well |
23:35.47 | DTRemenak | we don't just render in a frame, we do everything else then too |
23:35.50 | JeffM2501 | you can also still get shear on CRTs if your refresh sin't a multiple of your frame rate |
23:36.48 | Gnurdux | JeffM2501: how do you avoid shear? |
23:36.56 | Mr_Molez | ok sorry to but in carry on ur convo :P |
23:37.19 | Gnurdux | something wierd: in a program I was working on, on some runs it got shear, on some it didn't, but you had to restart it if it did |
23:37.21 | JeffM2501 | Gnurdux, limit your frame rate to your refresh/update time |

23:47.09 | JeffM2501 | yeah if your system can't send it updates fast enough |
23:47.17 | AlexandrTheGreat | recommendation for a good mac card? |
23:47.24 | JeffM2501 | same as a PC card |
23:47.29 | JeffM2501 | macs are PCs now |
23:47.33 | AlexandrTheGreat | mine isn't |
23:47.37 | JeffM2501 | sure it is |
23:47.40 | AlexandrTheGreat | non-intel |
23:47.42 | JeffM2501 | it has an AGP card right? |
23:47.45 | JeffM2501 | so it's a PPC pc |
23:47.48 | JeffM2501 | whopty do |
23:47.49 | AlexandrTheGreat | yes |
23:47.58 | AlexandrTheGreat | dual processor 2.0 gig or something |
23:48.03 | JeffM2501 | AGP cards are going to be harder to find |
23:48.12 | CBG | Either, Macs were always PCs of Macs will never be PCs. |
23:48.18 | CBG | Depends on definition... |
23:48.27 | JeffM2501 | yeah |
23:48.30 | AlexandrTheGreat | uh oh..now we're talking religion |
23:48.32 | JeffM2501 | I mean they share most hardware now |
23:48.37 | JeffM2501 | tho you'll need a mac bios |
23:48.38 | L4m3r | I don't think OS X has any support for nvidia video cards, btw |
23:48.42 | JeffM2501 | so you'll pay a little more |
23:48.45 | CBG | PC actually means Personal Computer, thus Macs were always PCs. |
23:48.46 | JeffM2501 | L4m3r, it does |
23:48.54 | L4m3r | really? |
23:48.57 | JeffM2501 | sure |
23:48.59 | L4m3r | other than macvidia? |
23:49.02 | JeffM2501 | a number of them shiped with them |
23:49.04 | CBG | Though, PC is often used to mean Non-Macs, in which case Macs can never be PCs... |
23:49.04 | JeffM2501 | from apple |
23:49.20 | AlexandrTheGreat | that is a good one? |
23:49.26 | JeffM2501 | you have basicly 2 choices |
23:49.33 | JeffM2501 | you can get a card with a mac bios on it |
23:49.48 | JeffM2501 | and spend bout 100$ more then the standard card |
23:49.55 | JeffM2501 | or you can get a standard card, and flash a mac bios into it |
23:50.15 | JeffM2501 | the mac cards are more rare, so I'd just see what you can find in your budget |
23:50.40 | JeffM2501 | there are some good radeon cards, and some good nvidia cards |
23:50.49 | AlexandrTheGreat | k, ty for all that explanation.. i think i get it now |
23:50.52 | JeffM2501 | you'll proibably spend around 200 to 250 |
23:52.25 | AlexandrTheGreat | i still feel like im' guessing with the flat panel whether it will be adequate for gaming |
23:52.48 | AlexandrTheGreat | dell took it back and said, "get a crt" |
23:53.19 | AlexandrTheGreat | the mac flat panel is like $800 |
23:53.44 | AlexandrTheGreat | i wonder if this blur exists on the imac or laptops |
23:54.23 | AlexandrTheGreat | maybe that is why cbg sees so many shots through :D |
23:54.56 | CBG | Or maybe it's just cause there are too many cheaters? :| |
23:55.37 | AlexandrTheGreat | after you try a wired connection, we'll talk |
23:57.42 | CBG | I can only do that during the day. :| |
23:57.47 | CBG | ie, morning for you. |
23:58.15 | JeffM2501 | the smaller displays seem to have faster update times |
23:58.35 | JeffM2501 | my 24 has an update of 16 |
23:58.38 | JeffM2501 | it's gneraly okl |
23:59.00 | JeffM2501 | but on some very very fast display changes I can see some ghosting. |
23:59.05 | JeffM2501 | but it's rare |
