02:56.42Constitutionin c[++], if a variable of one size (say, a short int) is multiplied by a variable of another size (say, a long int), is the result guaranteed to be a variable of the larger capacity?

03:11.10_zz_´hey, why i disconnect from my own server (it kicks me saying "Autokick: Player location was outside the playing area.") even if the world size is ok?
03:11.42_zz_nhey
03:11.43blast0072.99.x?
03:11.53_zz_no, 2.0.16 bzfs
03:12.06blast007you probably just screwed something up then
03:12.26_zz_and why client freezes when tring to connect to localhost (loopback) in 2.99.x?
03:12.56_zz_no, i don't think so because recently i changed from ctf to ffa
03:13.19blast007for your 2.0.x problem, I bet your bases are outside of the world boundaries
03:13.26blast007and it's trying to spawn you on the bases
03:13.35_zz_how's that?
03:13.43blast007like I said, you screwed up
03:13.46blast007fix it
03:13.56_zz_it's a random world
03:13.58blast007set your world boundaries to be correct
03:14.01_zz_4000
03:14.10_zz_ok tips?
03:14.12blast007did you change it after the server was running?
03:14.18blast007the world size, that is
03:14.23_zz_i closed bzfs
03:14.35blast007how did you set the world size?
03:14.48_zz_ok, i just going to set worldSize 100000
03:14.53blast007no
03:14.54blast007dude
03:14.58blast007just answer my question
03:15.07_zz_i have set it with bzfs.conf
03:15.14blast007how EXACTLY did you do it
03:17.32_zz_i am not finding the vaule in bzfs.conf
03:18.30_zz_-worldsize 2000
03:18.38_zz_there's
03:18.42_zz_and
03:19.04_zz_blast?
03:19.37_zz_i need to shutdown, answer me
03:19.45_zz_fast
03:19.59Bambino-set _worldSize Number
03:20.00Constitution...
03:20.15Bambinoand read the documentation...
03:20.24Bambinoand learn how a server works :)
03:20.31_zz_that's the setting in bzfs server conf
03:20.45blast007that's a valid setting
03:20.49_zz_yeah
03:20.58_zz_2000 because it multiplies
03:20.59Bambinothat's how variables should be properly set. /set in-game can mess stuff up
03:21.03_zz_ah
03:21.13_zz_plugins too?
03:21.15blast007so, assuming you didn't set it anywhere else, and you didn't change _worldSize in game, it should be fine
03:21.31blast007Bambino: he set it from his config via -worldsize instead of -set _worldSize
03:21.35_zz_last time was fine
03:22.04blast007_zz_: for your 2.99.x crash, are you trying it with bots, or without?
03:22.07_zz_plugins
03:22.14_zz_oh, with
03:22.18blast007try without
03:22.38blast007like I had said yesterday (I think), bot might not be working quite right
03:22.41_zz_and then it happens to disconnect because send queue too large
03:22.55blast007the send queue issue is because you are hosting a server on Windows
03:22.58_zz_still using that version
03:23.02_zz_oh
03:23.04_zz_yep
03:23.13blast007also, using that old version is stupid
03:23.20blast007some of the issues may have been fixed already
03:23.22_zz_my plugins at 2.0.16 bzfs
03:23.31_zz_-loadplugin flagStay.dll
03:23.31_zz_-loadplugin RogueGenocide.dll
03:23.31_zz_-loadplugin shockwaveDeath.dll
03:23.31_zz_-loadplugin playhistorytracker.dll
03:23.32blast007so reporting issues on an old 2.99.x just wastes our time
03:23.37_zz_that's what i had put
03:23.40blast007ok
03:23.48blast007none of those affect spawning

03:26.16_zz_then?
03:26.26blast007doesn't really matter
03:26.36blast007you're hosting on Windows, so it's not worth my time to help you
03:26.39blast007I have better things to do
03:26.41blast007like sleep
03:26.42_zz_uh,
03:26.58_zz_ok, and if i use phoenix.dll?
03:27.19blast007how about you stop adding *more* crap when you already have issues?
03:27.26_zz_ok, cya

10:48.47QuantumBeepIs there a way to force the list server to use a specific domain instead of reverse DNS?
10:55.41blast007QuantumBeep: -publicaddr ?
10:55.47QuantumBeepOK
10:55.52QuantumBeepI'll go rechek
10:56.11QuantumBeepI've got my pretty domain in there, but the listserver insists on displaying my mile-long reverse DNS instead
10:56.32blast007it might not actually be on the list
10:56.41blast007the game client does LAN detection of games too
10:56.44QuantumBeepOh hey
10:56.45QuantumBeepnever mind
10:56.50QuantumBeepit just took a long time to update

16:10.10blast007and on what OS?
16:10.13*** mode/#bzflag [-o blast007] by blast007
16:10.36blast007for recording games on Windows, I'd recommend buying a copy of Fraps
16:10.55blast007try the free version though to see if it will work for your needs (and with your computer)

19:27.38blast007Juest: if you screw around with /set, of course stuff is gonna break
19:27.56Juestperfect, i just got fixed :)
19:28.20blast007anyways, my point yesterday was that your configuration likely has *some* problem *somewhere*
19:28.32Juestyeah, was vars :P
19:28.34blast007so my suggestion was to start from scratch, and add stuff slowly and test
19:28.41blast007add an option or two and test it
19:28.53Juestis because i had set pos to burrowdepth
19:28.59Juestit must be -
19:29.02blast007then if it breaks, you know it was that line or two that did it
19:29.15blast007and I'm talking about in general
19:29.43blast007if you just go crazy and add 30 lines to your config, then you'll be having fun trying to figure out which line broke it

20:05.53Juestlol
20:06.06Juesti tired google not ms box
20:06.14blast007just read my post
20:06.35Cobra_Fastya, probably do what blast says
20:06.51blast007Juest: also, group creation is done when we get bored, so don't post useless posts in there asking when it will get done
20:07.02blast007since that just makes us not want to make them
20:08.40Juestremoved.....
20:09.22Juesti just posted for my groups, and removed the "and?"
20:09.33blast007so, you find the download yet?
20:10.02Juestuh looking
20:10.15Juestgot it lol
20:10.16blast007should be that hard
20:11.26Juestaw, nextime tell the download link not home
20:11.55blast007was the first result on google when searching for visual C++ 2008 express
20:11.55blast007:P
20:12.04Juesto.o?
20:12.24Juesti have searched this :
20:12.26Juestvisual c++ 2008  express edition
20:12.32Juest:P
20:12.40blast007second result then
20:12.45Juestlol
20:13.00blast007your google skills are not impressive ;)
20:13.01Juestis the third one :P
20:13.04Juestuh
20:13.06blast007first one is an ad
20:13.13Juestah :P
20:13.21Juesti have good g skills

20:13.41blast007apparently not, since you can't even differentiate between ads and results
20:14.07Juesti have hunted down every swf in the game site nitrome.com
20:14.21blast007I hear they've got a form for that.
20:14.28Juesti can differeciate but a bit :S
20:14.30blast007so still not impressive
20:14.34Juest¿
20:14.49Juestwho got?
20:14.53Juest^^^^
20:15.16blast007I mean this http://www.google.com/advanced_search
20:15.31blast007even have dropdowns for the file type :P
20:15.45blast007so all you had to do was choose flash and put in a domain
20:16.11Cobra_Fastusing that single search box on the front site is simpler IMO
20:16.28Juestah yep
20:16.34blast007Cobra_Fast: that's why it's called "advanced" ;)
20:16.45blast007but yeah, you can probably do all of that from the single box too
20:16.50Juestand do u guys find out that there are special modes?
20:16.56Juestit has a calc
20:17.04blast007yeah, I use that all the time :P

20:20.49blast007in any case, how's your download of Visual C++ going?
20:20.56Juestah, got
20:21.12Juestbut because internet is terrible i will
20:21.17Juestmust use fdm
20:21.30Juestbecause chrome stops and report as finished
20:21.33blast007well, the first thing you get is just their tiny web installer
20:21.43Juestwhere's?
20:21.46blast007then you run that and it downloads what it needs during the installer
20:22.18blast007vcsetup.exe is just their tiny file that you run
20:22.44blast0072.6MB
20:23.16blast007that will download a couple hundred MB of files during the install process
20:23.19Juestfrom there's 42!:
20:23.22JuestThe number has received considerable attention in popular culture because of its appearance in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, as the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".
20:23.36Juestik
20:23.38blast007and then you'll need this 571MB file: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3021d52b-514e-41d3-ad02-438a3ba730ba
20:23.40Juestdownloading
20:23.49Juestwhat's?
20:23.54blast007click it
20:23.58blast007you'll find out what it is
20:24.17Juesti downloading dxSDK Jun2010 :P
20:24.24blast007the game uses DirectX for some things (like input) so it needs the SDK
20:24.26Juestat least vc9 is supported :)
20:24.33Juestyeah
20:24.37Cobra_Fastcant opengl do input too?
20:24.51blast007no, OpenGL is just graphics
20:25.09Juesti need this too? Windows Platform SDK (This is not required for Visual C++ 2008)
20:25.10blast007it's like Direct3D
20:25.16Juestbecause ee?
20:25.18blast007Juest: read
20:25.27Juesto.o?
20:25.33blast007for 2005 EE it was needed
20:25.38Cobra_Fast"Windows Platform SDK (This is not required for Visual C++ 2008)"
20:25.40blast007I think 2008 EE includes it, or some version of it
20:25.49Juestoh
20:26.26Juestdoes sql requiered?
20:26.36Cobra_Fastno
20:26.37blast007what does the walkthrough way?
20:26.44Juestah :)
20:26.52Juest?
20:27.06blast007heck, there's a README.Win32 file you should be reading too :P
20:27.21Juestlol
20:27.23Juesti
20:27.38Juesthow i can upload fixies then?
20:27.50Juesti use tortoise SVN
20:28.01blast007you'll tell Tortoise SVN to make a patch
20:28.03Cobra_Fasthttp://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=3248&atid=303248 -> "Add new"
20:28.05Juestthe upload requires user and pw....
20:28.11blast007you can't commit
20:28.15blast007you have to submit a patch
20:28.24blast007and then we can commit it if we so choose
20:28.36Juestah thanks cobra
20:28.48Juestonly devs can commit?

20:44.58JeffMI wrote it, I know what it needs
20:45.06Juestbzadmin bzflag and bzfs
20:45.14Juestit needs pdcurses?
20:45.23Juestand glew?
20:45.28Juestzlib?
20:45.36JeffMyeah and those are part of our extras
20:45.38JeffMwe build them
20:45.59Juestthat's
20:46.06JeffMwhat target are you doing? debug or debug_distrobution
20:46.22Juesti need the extras requied to run
20:46.29Juestumm, i will do release
20:46.34Juestthat's why
20:46.38JeffMrelease or release distrobution
20:46.49Juestjust release
20:46.50JeffMthe dlls should be copied to the root of the source folder
20:47.01Juestyeah i know that
20:47.03JeffMyou do not have to download anything
20:47.14JeffMthe build also copies the bzflag exe to that location
20:47.17JeffMit runs from there
20:47.19Juestnow is part of this?
20:47.30JeffMI designed the build system so that you would not have to download anything else
20:48.02blast007also, if you intend to fix issues, you should use Debug, not Release
20:48.10Juestummm, do i need those dlls to run bzflag and bzfs and bzadmin?
20:48.11JeffMand you need to learn C++
20:48.15Juestthe exe output
20:48.26JeffMyes the exe needs the dlls that are build as well
20:48.27blast007the DLLs get copied to the root of the source
20:48.33JeffMthey have to go together
20:48.45Juestnow it goes thogether?
20:49.02blast007if you intend to distribute to other people, do Release (Release Distribution, ideally, with the necessary extras)
20:49.04Juestbecause on my compiling times i needed the dlls
20:49.07JeffMyou do not understand enough about computer programs to do anything useful for testing
20:49.23JeffMI would recomend learning more about bassic computer science first
20:49.23blast007if you want to fix stuff, build Debug (debug builds need an installed copy of Visual C++ to run)
20:49.50Juesti just test but never for uselful things
20:50.00JeffMthen it is a waste of our time
20:50.05JeffMas always with you
20:50.12JeffMlearn then do
20:50.19JeffMyou can not take a shortcut
20:50.30Juestok, and for debug  i had got exceptions
20:50.38Juestok
20:50.53Juestwhy bzadmin always crashes here?
20:51.01JeffMprobably many reasons
20:51.02blast007because it sucks
20:51.10JeffMnone of us can read your mind or computer and know why
20:51.12JeffMit is dev code
20:51.13blast007the trunk bzadmin specifically is quite broken
20:51.31Juestwhile using arrows it crash at first touch
20:51.35blast007not sure I've had it crash, but I've had it not really do anything useful
20:51.36Juestany bzadmin
20:51.45blast007what version?
20:51.50blast0072.0.16?
20:51.58Juest2.0.16 and trunk
20:52.08Juestwell for trunk let me test
20:52.21blast007I was thinking that the 2.0.16 one was crashy
20:52.34blast007I probably didn't try chosing a name when I last tried it
20:52.36Juestand look my post about the bzadmin execptions
20:52.43blast007I will later
20:52.44blast007work to do

23:00.30blast007Fiona: do you need some help with BZFlag?

23:05.32blast007we can't help with such little information
23:05.39Fionaoh
23:05.44Juestis going to be busy with vc++ :P
23:06.06blast007is it an install problem?  does the game not run?  what linux distribution/version?  what game version?  etc etc
23:06.11Juestright, blast
23:06.20Juestyep i was tiring to ask that
23:06.22Juestbyes
23:06.32Juesttrying*
23:06.50Fionaabout 1-2 minutes after opening the game, it or the computer crashes
23:07.01blast007probably a video driver issue
23:07.09blast007a program should not be able to crash the entire computer
23:07.52Fionaok, well, I will go then..I was just curious
23:07.59Juestcan u get the terminal or else at the moment of the crash?
23:08.18Fionaor else?
23:08.27blast007you could try pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to a terminal when it happens
23:08.41blast007or you might have to use SSH
23:08.58Juestyou can't do anything?
23:09.18blast007not sure if you'd be able to do any key combos if the game is locked up, for instance (because the game might capture any input)
23:09.31blast007I don't really play on linux, so I'm not sure of that exactly :)
23:09.32Fionano, the screen turns all different colors, and the only option is to reboot
23:09.44Juestit happend to me
23:09.48blast007any idea what kind of video chipset/card in there?
23:09.52Juestis whole system freeze
23:10.22Fiona....not really, dad owas the one that made it
23:10.46blast007could run this to find out:  lspci | grep VGA
23:10.48Juesti coludn't do anything than restart when the screen thigy happens
23:10.49Fionais there a way I can check?
23:11.02Fionayes, thats the usual case
23:11.16Fionaor the game just disapears
23:11.53Juesttry this, kill the xs
23:12.03Juestnkill the X process
23:12.23Juestand run  X& fiona
23:12.27blast007Fiona: did that command show anything?
23:12.33blast007Juest: that's not really helpful
23:12.39Juestwhy?
23:12.43blast007Juest: since 'X' isn't the command
23:12.49FionaI did not see a command
23:12.58blast007Fiona:   lspci | grep VGA
23:13.03blast007(that's an L at the start)
23:13.13Juestwhy blast?
23:13.40Juestblast: the X works too
23:13.59blast007Juest: maybe on whatever distro you run
23:14.28Juestand is better that  instead of running the whole enviorment
23:14.44Juestyep, maybe is better to know the distro
23:14.45blast007Juest: also, if you have linux, why have you been trying to host bzfs on Windows?
23:15.16blast007Juest: what distro do you run?
23:15.24Juestblast: i don't have linux, Just experience with linux
23:15.31blast007Fiona: did that command return anything?
23:16.16Fionadid you want me to type is somewhere? because I really don't know what you are talking about...:(
23:16.21blast007Juest: apparently not very much, since you can actually hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to *restart* Xorg, assuming that key combo isn't disabled
23:16.30blast007Fiona: yeah, in a terminal
23:16.41blast007in a terminal, type:  lspci | grep VGA
23:16.42Juestblast: go pm
23:16.45blast007or copy and paste it
23:16.59Fionain the problem computer?
23:17.09blast007yup
23:17.18blast007it will tell what kind of video card is installed
23:18.02Fionaok, I will try
23:20.31Fionauh...when I went to try just now, my bro said that he reinstalled BZflag and that worked. Kind of an embarrassing/simple solution.
23:20.38blast007hehe, okay
23:20.49Fionaso thanks :D
23:20.54blast007have fun ;)
23:21.00Juestah, i told him to reinstall
23:21.03Fionawe will :)

23:54.22blast007the last release of 2.0.16 is 2.0.16 :P  it itself is a release.
23:54.36Juestlol
23:54.44blast007if instead you mean "where is the latest code compatible with 2.0.x", then you want to look at the v2_0branch branch
23:55.22Juestthe v2_0branch is 2.0.16?
23:55.30blast007no
23:55.33blast0072.0.17
23:55.48blast007and if 2.0.18 were released, it would be 2.0.19 then
23:55.57Juestwhy?
23:56.21blast007odds are development, even are releases
23:56.44Juestok, where's 2.0.16 then?
23:56.51blast007you don't wnat 2.0.16
23:56.57Juestnot the real one, source
23:56.57blast007you want v2_0branch
23:58.13blast007v2_0branch also doesn't build as easily as trunk
23:58.15Juestdoes the sdk haves a var?
23:58.20blast007we don't include all of the necessary libs
23:58.22blast007var?
