| 18:52.08 | ruskie | what do you need? |
| 18:52.23 | JeffM | I am trying to make a shell script that starts a program in a screen |
| 18:52.29 | JeffM | when the machine reboots |
| 18:52.41 | JeffM | so I can login and check on it's output as needed |
| 18:52.50 | Quol | JeffM, is this for your collector? |
| 18:52.53 | JeffM | yeah |
| 18:53.09 | Quol | why don't you just redirect all output to a text file - and start it in the background |
| 18:53.16 | Quol | that way you just tail -f the file |
| 18:53.20 | JeffM | possibly |
| 18:53.28 | Quol | to see what is going on - that's what I am doing now |
| 18:53.30 | JeffM | the other option is to have it run once and not loop |
| 18:53.34 | JeffM | and have it crontab |
| 18:53.58 | JeffM | it's just easier to kill and restart in a screen |
| 18:54.07 | Quol | I just put it in rc.local, and it starts in the backgrouns and redirects STDOUT and STDERR to /var/log/whatever |
| 18:54.16 | ruskie | http://askubuntu.com/questions/62562/run-a-program-with-gnu-screen-and-immediately-detach-after <-- JeffM maybe this will help? |
| 18:54.27 | Quol | I write the PID to /var/run/pid - so I just have to kill PID |
| 18:54.55 | Quol | if you want - I could even write a simepl RC script for you - that way you just /etc/rc.d/collecter [start|stop|restart|staus] |
| 18:54.56 | JeffM | ruskie, yes that looks like what I want, I did not see that in my searches, thank you |
| 18:55.16 | JeffM | quol we can save that for when I get a new host |

| 20:21.18 | JeffM | I wonder who the least favorite gay staffer is..... |
| 20:46.13 | spldart | That's a good question. |
| 21:17.28 | KTL | ok ... i have a very large texture ... 4096 x 4096 png |
| 21:18.01 | KTL | but as it is shown in the game it is as if downsized ... |
| 21:18.32 | KTL | (i try to display parts from that large texture) |
| 21:18.49 | KTL | so troubleshooting ... what am i doing wrong? |
| 21:19.14 | KTL | some limitation on the size of the image? |
| 21:19.32 | KTL | i seem to remember being able to get such large things working ... |
| 21:21.25 | KTL | Scaling texture from 4096x4196 to 512x512 |
| 21:21.27 | KTL | right ... |
| 21:22.32 | KTL | mmm so i will generate ... a whole bunch of 512x512 pics |

| 21:51.27 | JeffM | KTL, yes there is a max texture size in the client |
| 21:51.39 | JeffM | not all cards/GL implemntations suported textures that big |
| 21:52.22 | swigg | is there any way to do it in simpler fashion like kkreiger does it? |
| 21:52.45 | JeffM | I do not know what that fasion is so I can not comment |
| 21:59.33 | swigg | well, it's a small download FPS and it does pretty good |
| 21:59.50 | swigg | It's actually how I stumbled on BZ |
| 22:01.11 | blast007 | swigg: that's just dynamic texture generation |
| 22:01.30 | blast007 | it would not solve the "max texture size" issue |
| 22:01.48 | swigg | still seems like a good idea |
| 22:02.00 | blast007 | why? |
| 22:02.09 | swigg | less bandwidth |
| 22:02.32 | blast007 | here we go with "send binary code from the server and run it on the client" again ;) |
| 22:03.01 | swigg | it's like soap... good in some places, just not in your mouth. :P |
| 22:03.02 | blast007 | there really isn't an issue like you think there is |
| 22:03.15 | blast007 | people have fast internet nowadays |
| 22:03.29 | blast007 | and if they have crap internet, they're going to have crap lag anyways |
| 22:03.44 | swigg | well.. to be fair; he was talking about needing smaller textures... seemed like a good suggestion |
| 22:04.36 | blast007 | but again, your idea is completely unrelated |
| 22:04.56 | JeffM | yeah I can "solve" the texture issue |
| 22:04.59 | blast007 | the issue is the resolution of the texture, not where it comes from |
| 22:05.00 | JeffM | it just takes work |
| 22:06.16 | *** join/#bzflag SpazzyMcGee (~SpazzyMcG@5adeb9e5.bb.sky.com) |
| 22:06.42 | JeffM | optimaly we'd ask GL what the biggest texture supported and then scale to it |
| 22:11.14 | blast007 | swigg: kkreiger takes 15 seconds to start up on a i5-2500K 3.3GHz quad with an nVidia 9800 GTX+. Now try that on a typical BZFlag computer. ;) |
| 22:11.20 | blast007 | it likely uses shaders as well |
| 22:11.45 | blast007 | I believe it also generates the sounds |
| 22:12.00 | blast007 | it's an interesting concept for sure |
| 22:13.51 | JeffM | sure parametrics can be good |
| 22:13.58 | JeffM | for natural textures and the like |
| 22:14.05 | JeffM | anything the world generates parametricly |
| 22:14.14 | JeffM | I would not want to draw a picture with it :) |
| 22:15.34 | JeffM | I think the main reason for 512 was that a lot of software GL implementations limited to that |
| 22:15.42 | JeffM | or maybe some crap onboard chipsets |
| 22:17.47 | JeffM | requiring GL 2 would make it easy to assume larger image sizes |
