01:04.10apeman_Has anyone actually tested bzadmin on windows and thinks it is "usable" by any standards?
01:05.54blast007wait, it's supposed to be usable??
01:06.08blast007and can you elaborate?  is there an issue with it?
01:06.15allejolol
01:06.45blast007well, other than it lacking curses support, it seems.. :)
01:07.01apeman_if someone sends one message every minute to you, the times you receive them are an exponential curve
01:07.09blast007that did get fixed, but I guess not in time for 2.4.2
01:07.26blast007eh, what?
01:08.10apeman_when i connect i get the first messages and then one minute later it gets sluggish and i'll be lucky to receive a message from T=120s within 5 minutes of joining
01:08.31blast007well, it's a crappy program on pretty much every platform
01:09.21apeman_yea, but it "works" on linux
01:10.05apeman_on windows you'd have to reconnect a new bzadmin every minute in order to get 10 minutes of conversation
01:11.07blast007use linux then
01:11.48blast007I personally want to see bzadmin go away ;)
01:12.53blast007replace it with a server plugin or two and make it web based instead

01:47.49BulletCatcherJeffM_: Your BZBB signature links to opencombat.invertedpolarity.com, which is down.
01:47.59JeffM_cool
01:48.15BulletCatcherThat's making it hard to read the forums.
01:48.50JeffM_you click on my signature to read posts?
01:49.22BulletCatcherNo, but a page with several postings by you is still trying to load after several minutes.
01:50.06BulletCatcherphpBB doesn't adjust the font size as requested until the whole page is loaded, so all of the text is tiny.
01:51.14JeffM_goes to find putty
01:52.35JeffM_wow that sucker's big time offline
01:58.21JeffM_wow the eniire LA VE portal seems to be offline
01:58.46BulletCatcherouch
01:59.27BulletCatcherFirefox is still trying to load that image after 10 minutes.  Annoyingly persistent.
01:59.48JeffM_refresh, I broke the link to the image
02:00.47JeffM_odd I can totaly access the control panel for my chicago server but nothing for the LA one
02:01.01BulletCatcherAt this point, I want to see how long it will keep trying. :-)
02:02.05JeffM_oh and the guy with the "comeback map" never posted a license for the map release, someone may want to pull the thread
02:03.44BulletCatcherHe edited the original posting to include a suitable license, so it's ok.
02:05.51BulletCatcherBTW, I now have a github account: JMakey.
02:06.05BulletCatcherI decided not to use an alias there.
02:06.12JeffM_ahh ok
02:06.39JeffM_now to decide if I ask you to sign the developer agreement first :)
02:07.52JeffM_at the very least I'd like your opinon on it, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B-kj3BeFhFghYjIQ6dC81tfLf-ldUYQHOhMPv16Ykmw/edit?usp=sharing
02:09.36BulletCatcherI don't seem to have access to it.
02:09.55JeffM_hmm it's set to "anyone with this link can view"
02:10.24JeffM_try now, I removed the requirement to have a google account
02:10.26BulletCatcherI just requested access.
02:10.49JeffM_and you are now a member of some teams on github
02:10.56BulletCatcherI can see the doc now.
02:11.03JeffM_you should have admin to the repos
02:12.18BulletCatcherIt now says I am a member. :-)
02:13.52JeffM_hoorays
02:15.34JeffM_whooohoo, I've got $0.83 in my steam wallet now from selling trading cards!!

02:17.27BulletCatcherThere's a typo at the end of the "Contribution" definition.

02:17.58*** join/#bzflag TD-Linux (~TD-Linux@about/essy/indecisive/TD-Linux)
02:18.30JeffM_fixed
02:18.50BulletCatcherGoogle let me watch you type that change. :-)
02:19.36JeffM_that's google, always spying
02:21.00JeffM_the general idea of the agreement is to have something slightly more formal then what we have in the devinfo so that if/when tim decides to transfer copyright the current set of developers will have agreed that it's ok
02:22.00JeffM_yay my host came back
02:22.10*** join/#bzflag mrapple (~tony@192.65.241.17)
02:22.53BulletCatcherDarn, I wasn't paying attention and didn't see when Firefox stopped trying to load the image.
02:23.00JeffM_heh
02:23.14BulletCatcherIt was still going after 15 minutes.
02:23.54JeffM_wow people still trying to talk about auto hunt for laggy?
02:24.01JeffM_or show a prediction box?
02:24.08JeffM_if we could do that then we could fix the lag problem :)
02:25.02blast007pfft, what would really fix that issue is a kill cam
02:25.06blast007and voice chat
02:25.12JeffM_and hats
02:25.18JeffM_and apperantly trading cards now
02:25.31blast007heh
02:25.52apeman_so when are the bzflag trading cards coming out
02:25.56JeffM_once we get on steamp
02:25.58JeffM_steam
02:26.06blast007shortly after version 6.0
02:26.23JeffM_ooo universe sandbox for 2$, everyone should own that
02:26.24apeman_its surprising that digital trading card games can still be hugely successful (selling 10 cards for $20)
02:26.50JeffM_I just made EIGHTY THREE whole cents of them, they are awesome
02:26.53blast007think I got that for free at one point.. or maybe I'm thinking of the educational steam thing
02:27.07JeffM_it's fun to smash jupiter into things
02:27.11blast007heh
02:27.55JeffM_I had to pick up Surgon Simulator 2013 as well
02:28.02JeffM_how can you not for 3.40$
02:29.00blast007I need to stop buying games until I play the ones I already have... :P
02:29.24blast007lately I've been buying mostly from gog.com though
02:29.26JeffM_somone sugested buing them a gifts and not putting in an address for them
02:29.50JeffM_then they stay on your account and you can give them to yourself if you play it, or sell it to someone else later
02:29.53JeffM_if you don't

02:35.09BulletCatcherMy main thought on the proposed developer agreement: I would need to have a lawyer review it for me.
02:35.52BulletCatcherI suppose I should go look at what I agreed to when I signed up at SourceForge.
02:37.20Jeffmheh
02:37.43Jeffmwe got the wording from a template that an org publishes to help out open source proejcts
02:38.03Jeffmand techicaly what is said there is better for you then what is in devinfo currently
02:38.23Jeffmyou still have copyright on your work, but you can not tell the project how to use that work
02:38.58Jeffmtho we agree to at the very least licnese the work under the terms of our software license at time of submisiion
02:39.28Jeffmso you can sell, relicense, do whatever to your code, we have to lgpl it when you submit it, but we can transfer or sublicense it as well
02:39.33Jeffmand you can't revoke our right to do that
02:40.31Jeffmbasicly it prevents a single developer from stoping a transfer, but it lets that developer submit that code to multiple proejcts, or make money off it if they want
02:41.01Jeffmand it prevents us from doing a bait and switch and never releaing submited code under the license for the project
02:42.55BulletCatcherIt seems like there ought to be simpler way to enable that, but maybe that's just because I am not a lawyer.
02:43.31Jeffmthere is, copyright assignment
02:43.43Jeffmbassicly you give up all rights to the code
02:44.32BulletCatcherHave there been potential BZFlag contributors who didn't want to assign copyright to Tim?
02:59.23Jeffmwell I'm not entirely sure how many people are even aware of what we put in Devinfo
02:59.35Jeffmso it's had to say, hence why I wanted a form that they had to click on
02:59.51Jeffmbut so far I don't think there is anyone who would cause a problem
02:59.56Jeffmbut it ony takes one
