12:27.34short_circuitThat
12:27.36short_circuit's it
12:27.44short_circuittoday is 10/10/10
12:27.52short_circuitbinary 101010 is 42
12:28.02short_circuitanswer to the life, the universe and everything
12:47.40kierra_awayhttp://www.fortytwoday.com/
13:03.04short_circuitoh... so someone else thought of it too. It came to me over a week ago on a bike ride
13:03.44short_circuithow long has that website been up?
13:04.06catayit's also on /.
13:06.36short_circuitit's funny. when I thought of it a while back.. and told friends family and some irc channels. I had thrown everything into a google search and didn't find anything.
13:08.40short_circuitheh.. google it now and I'm getting tons of hits
13:09.14short_circuitI'm glad I have proof I thought of it before it was a big deal on net ;) I wrote an email to the local news.
13:45.04short_circuitgeez... the today show covered the numerology aspect of 10 10 10 (bleck) but didn't even mention the dates true power..... Hitchikers guide to the galaxy!
14:22.55blast007short_circuit: "Created on: 04-Jul-10"
14:23.20blast007(that domain)
14:40.59Cobra_Fasthow to prevent textures from flickering when objects are overlapping?
14:42.03mrappleyou cant
14:42.18mrapplemake one object taller/higher/wider than the other
14:42.38Cobra_Fasti cantz
14:42.40mrapplethere is an "antiflicker" option but i believe that only applys to boxes when they are rotated 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees
14:43.25blast007Cobra_Fast: make stuff not overlap
14:43.38mrapplethat works too ;)
14:43.55blast007worst case, you might have to use a mesh
14:44.32Cobra_Fastthat would be the case
15:04.21*** join/#bzflag Djpenguin (~David@c-98-207-67-102.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)
15:13.47Cobra_Fastin which order do i need to specify texcoords? clockwise from bottom left corner?
15:15.23Cobra_Fastand how do i make my mesh spin with drawinfo?
15:15.38mrappletheres a php script for that somewhere
15:15.40mrapplelooks
15:15.59blast007you realize that if it spins, it will not be a solid object, right?
15:16.15Cobra_Fastright, i need it for a skybox
15:16.51mrapplehttp://pastebin.com/ZNWXzfXe
15:16.51blast007is the skybox more than just a texture?
15:17.08Cobra_Fastits a mesh where the texture sits on
15:17.12blast007cuz there's easier ways to make a texture move/scroll
15:17.37Cobra_Fastit's got four walls so i need the mesh to spin?
15:17.42mrappleyou can use the "shift" for the texture to get it to move
15:17.54blast007a textureMatrix might be what you want
15:18.03Cobra_Fastthat would tear off the texture wouldnt it
15:18.19blast007make it a sky dome ;)
15:18.31Cobra_Fastthats a lot more complicated
15:18.45Cobra_Fastor is there a ready to use one? :P
15:18.48blast007sky cylinder!
15:18.54mrapplethere's one
15:19.03mrappleh/o
15:19.17blast007could you just use a sphere object?
15:19.25Cobra_Fasthow would i map the texture around the cylinder so that the textures dont stick to the faces?
15:19.40mrappletexsize?
15:19.41blast007spray it with Pam first
15:19.49mrappleor is that only for bzflag objects
15:19.54Cobra_Fastthe sphere object isnt hollow i guess
15:21.07mrappleCobra_Fast: http://pastebin.com/iuaiBpaB
15:21.21blast007Cobra_Fast: hmm, probably right
15:22.26Cobra_Fastmrapple: thanks
15:22.29mrappleyep
15:22.33Cobra_Fastthat works a lil :P
15:22.50blast007there is also skybox support built into the game, but it doesn't animate
15:23.20mrappleyeah i used that once on my space paintball map ^_^
15:23.22Cobra_Fastmrapple: how does that skybox scale the texture?
15:23.40mrappletexcords
15:24.14Cobra_Fastumm alright ill be trying to build a texture for that
15:24.30mrapplezaphod has some cool ones http://images.bzflag.org/zzaphod/
15:24.42Cobra_Fastthey dont fit for my pandora map ;)
15:24.53mrapplehm?
15:25.06mrapplehttp://images.bzflag.org/zzaphod/storm07.png
15:25.14Cobra_Fasti want that blue planet in there and stuff
15:25.28Cobra_Fastso im building my own
15:25.36mrappleah got it
15:25.42mrapplehttp://images.bzflag.org/zzaphod/storm07.png has a mini one ;p
15:25.55Cobra_Fastyeah i see
15:26.36mrapplewell have fun building it ;)
15:26.55Cobra_Fasthow would i be bending my image (like the zaphod ones?)
15:27.31mrappleheh good question
15:27.40Cobra_Fast:P
15:27.58mrapplextreme photoshop skillz
15:34.16blast007Cobra_Fast: well, he probably generated them that way to begin with
15:34.20blast007since it looks like some kind of render

15:55.05Cobra_Fastplease unlock the texture? :)
15:56.11JeffM2501it isn't an instant service
15:59.17blast007in fact, it's based on a reverse nagging system. Every nag makes it take longer.
15:59.40blast007;)
15:59.44JeffM2501so he should be at 2012 then right?
16:01.04mrappleso if you say "please don't approve my texture" it will happen sooner?
16:03.14blast007mrapple: that's still a nag
