| 00:00.06 | trepan | you could also do a scribe effect without shaders, turns to wireframe as planes slices through the tank |
| 00:00.33 | trepan | with multipass, you could do several different texture effects (again, without shaders) |
| 00:00.55 | JeffM | I'm trying to do one now that leaves a pile of smoking rubble :) |
| 00:01.05 | delusional | a lasered tank doesn't move, but gets bright, then fades |
| 00:01.17 | trepan | you could do a granular decompositon with the stencil buffer |

| 00:01.38 | JeffM | death effects per shot type is a good idea tho |
| 00:01.58 | JeffM | I'll make up a few and see what we can do about making it per death type |
| 00:02.08 | JeffM | probalby have to fix the rings too, they are so bad |

| 00:36.18 | trepan | the chance for a client-side lua backport to 2.3 is becoming increasingly remote |
| 00:42.24 | delusional | any reason why? |
| 00:43.08 | trepan | i'm playing with 3.0 |
| 00:43.31 | trepan | and it's highly unlike that anyone else [cw]ould do it |
| 00:43.50 | trepan | *unlikely, typo fest this evening |
| 00:50.13 | trepan | petitions OED to put '[cw]ould' in their trove; but, does [ go before a, or after Z? :) |
| 00:51.48 | delusional | I guess you and DTR figure that if as much effort was put into 2.99 as is being expended on 2.3.... we'd have a 3.0 |
| 00:52.43 | trepan | and it's probably easier to port from 2.4 -> 3.0 than the other way around |
| 00:53.25 | trepan | plus, 3.0 code is a little nicer to work with :) |

| 21:11.16 | meem1029 | Oh, and md is an enders game thing. |
| 21:11.20 | KTL | blood-dripping tanks |
| 21:11.25 | mdskpr_ | Jeff, did you add something so GMs have a team color tip? |
| 21:11.41 | JeffVanHelsing | mdskpr_, yeah they have a firggin missle :) |
| 21:11.45 | JeffVanHelsing | missile |
| 21:11.52 | bryjen | so you can see the TK coming for sure |
| 21:11.52 | JeffVanHelsing | the warhead is team colored |
| 21:11.55 | JeffVanHelsing | yeah |
| 21:12.14 | PlasticTank | I can't see the team color tip |
| 21:12.15 | JeffVanHelsing | mdskpr_, try /set _gmSize 10 |
| 21:12.28 | JeffVanHelsing | PlasticTank, your shot len over 5? |
| 21:12.43 | PlasticTank | I turned it off and I still didn't see it |
| 21:12.51 | JeffVanHelsing | that would make sense |
| 21:12.56 | JeffVanHelsing | no missile if it's off |
| 21:13.02 | JeffVanHelsing | 6 and higher |
| 21:13.08 | JeffVanHelsing | and you have to be in experimental |
| 21:13.30 | trepan | and it has to be on an odd-numbered day |
| 21:13.38 | JeffVanHelsing | and raining |
| 21:13.47 | trepan | frogs |
| 21:13.54 | JeffVanHelsing | but not toads |
| 21:14.07 | trepan | definitely not toads :) |
| 21:14.22 | JeffVanHelsing | we can turn it on for all shot lens if you want, I just wanted some way to turn it off if people didn't want it for now |
| 21:14.24 | meem1029 | And make sure you've eaten your turtle stew that morning. |
| 21:14.33 | joevano | bryjen: you burst my bubble... I was really looking forward to a "supper" bullet |
| 21:14.40 | JeffVanHelsing | you eat turtles... you monster. |
| 21:14.51 | JeffVanHelsing | joevano, what about the last supper bullet |
| 21:15.07 | JeffVanHelsing | it dosn't judge you |
| 21:15.12 | joevano | lol |
| 21:15.17 | trepan | JeffVanHelsing: fwiw, if the premake crap all works out, you should be able to use it on windows to do almost all of the stuff that is currently *nix only, like 'make distcheck' |
| 21:15.32 | JeffVanHelsing | fun |
| 21:16.31 | trepan | it's already make the plugins setup much simpler |
| 21:17.16 | trepan | *made -- ever have a whole week when typos are the norm? |
| 21:17.32 | JeffVanHelsing | week.. how about life |
| 21:17.36 | trepan | blames it on the excessive use of fly dope |
| 21:22.20 | KTL | geno looks the same to me |

| 21:28.52 | JeffVanHelsing | the docs do not represent curren code but ideas |
| 21:29.00 | JeffVanHelsing | I have not created any new death effects yet |
| 21:30.02 | JeffVanHelsing | it would be nice to get input on the ideas before they are writen :) |

| 21:43.53 | ahs3- | JeffVanHelsing, nice missle |
| 21:53.42 | delusional | i wanna see the crushed tank |
| 21:54.07 | JeffVanHelsing | it dosn't look right |
| 21:54.14 | JeffVanHelsing | but drive over someone with SR |
| 21:54.21 | JeffVanHelsing | they should flaten out and still bounce |
| 22:01.17 | CIA-114 | BZFlag: 03JeffM2501 07http://my.bzflag.org * r7683 10/w/Mines_Concept: concept for mines that could work in a later release. |
| 22:52.48 | bryjen | i still think "obvious" mines may not be easily avoidable if well positioned in the terrain and/or while you're being shot at |
| 22:53.09 | JeffVanHelsing | possibly |
| 22:53.19 | JeffVanHelsing | but I think they would be very hard to use efectivly |
| 22:53.40 | bryjen | and if you want to be able to clear them by shooting them, make them hover or bob in the air around gun height |
| 22:53.48 | JeffVanHelsing | possibly |
| 22:54.01 | JeffM | I think there is benifit in evaluating them later |
| 22:54.10 | JeffM | maybe implement up a couple and see what is most fun |
| 22:55.53 | bryjen | having them spray a few random un-aimed shots is a nice solution to the insta-death issue. |
| 22:57.01 | JeffM | specially if you have agility or speed and zip thru a minefield to trigger them all off and hit the people chasing you :) |

| 23:10.07 | mdskpr_ | JeffM: i think the 'death driver' would be better f |
| 23:10.11 | mdskpr_ | or the Lase |
| 23:10.12 | mdskpr_ | r |
| 23:11.21 | JeffM | huh? |
| 23:11.59 | mdskpr_ | the death driver explosion would be better for the laser explosion |
| 23:12.27 | mdskpr_ | lasers would charcolize something like lightning |
| 23:13.00 | JeffM | not really |
| 23:13.05 | JeffM | lasers melt ;) |
| 23:16.56 | Erroneous | or vaporize |
| 23:17.07 | Erroneous | puff of smoke |
| 23:17.09 | JeffM | that's a fast form of melting |
| 23:17.25 | mdskpr_ | thats better sounding, the other sounds like melting ice |
| 23:18.19 | JeffM | once we have a list of ideas we can move em around to the best reason |
| 23:18.34 | JeffM | I just don't see a laser causing lighning |
| 23:18.53 | JeffM | now having laser make it glow for bit then fade to char and smoke.. fine |
| 23:19.11 | JeffM | but I'd not do an electricution thing for laser |
| 23:19.45 | JeffM | the effect I was thinking of was more like what happens in the Material Emancipation Grid |
| 23:26.02 | delusional | maybe a new wiki page.... Ideas : New Death Effects |
| 23:26.25 | JeffM | umm... that's what the wiki page I made was for |
| 23:26.56 | JeffM | http://my.bzflag.org/w/2.3_NewEffects#Death_effects |
| 23:27.08 | delusional | hmm, i see that\ |

| 23:39.24 | delusional | I already tried to make some new explosions, using the same algorithm currently in effect. Results were fuzzy.. check them out http://images.planet-mofo.com/A-Delusion/psych/filterforge/splode/ |
| 23:42.33 | Thumper_ | JeffM: I have a question about registering plugin events if you have a sec |
| 23:42.42 | JeffM | yeah there isn't a lot of resolution in an image with that many frames |
| 23:42.44 | JeffM | Thumper_, sup? |
| 23:43.15 | Thumper_ | In WorldEventManager.cxx line 138 (RegisterEvent) |
| 23:43.33 | Thumper_ | the second plugin that registers an eTickEvent goes through the list looking to see if it is already registered for this event |
| 23:43.41 | Thumper_ | but if not did we forget to actually add it to the list? |
| 23:43.59 | Thumper_ | I have two plugins loaded (serverControl and rabidRabbit) and the first one loaded sees the event but not the second |
| 23:45.04 | JeffM | let me look |
| 23:45.14 | delusional | Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0. |
| 23:45.43 | JeffM | yeah I am totaly retarded |
| 23:45.47 | Thumper_ | :) |
| 23:45.52 | Thumper_ | good I'm not losing my mind |
| 23:46.30 | Thumper_ | that should fix the issue I'm having with the rabidRabbit server not restarting when new commits show up |
| 23:46.46 | delusional | I couldn't figure out exactly what the current explosion was doing, other than flashing really fast. |
| 23:47.18 | CIA-114 | BZFlag: 03JeffM2501 * r21682 10/trunk/bzflag/src/bzfs/WorldEventManager.cxx: if we don't find the event in the list then go ahead and add it, don't just say we did and pretend like nothing is wrong. |
| 23:47.27 | JeffM | the current method of doing the explosion sprite isn't that good for modern hardware |
| 23:47.34 | Thumper_ | thx JeffM |
| 23:47.49 | JeffM | look at what trepan did to the shot with out adding any more frames |
| 23:48.01 | JeffM | it's all about particles not sprites :) |
| 23:48.25 | JeffM | the new GM smoke only has 4 frames and they arn't even used for animation |
