| 00:05.56 | macsforme | are the package/ subdirectories other than win32 actually used for packaging releases, such as for fedora and debian? |
| 00:06.31 | macsforme | most of those files haven't been touched in over 10 years |
| 00:11.47 | blast007 | I'm all but certain we don't even build on Irix anymore |
| 00:12.02 | blast007 | and no, Debian has their own packaging files |
| 00:13.49 | blast007 | that package/linux/ directory looks like there's no way it would work anymore |
| 00:16.03 | macsforme | package/win32 is what creates the installer, right? |
| 00:22.50 | blast007 | yep |
| 01:45.18 | macsforme | ah ha, trepan already made a premake script for 2.99 |
| 01:45.41 | macsforme | should be a good place to start |
| 01:59.15 | macsforme | trepan must be the king of unused contributions to bzflag |
| 02:13.46 | allejo | hails trepan |
| 02:47.21 | JeffM | Hmmmm I'll have to check but I think I can export a map from unity into html 5 to provide a live web preview |

| 16:33.05 | JeffM | allejo: where does the const char* the API returns come from? is it a pointer to the input string? or a pointer to something you allocated inside the API guts? |
| 16:33.27 | JeffM | or is it just given back by the curl function? |
| 16:34.26 | allejo | the const char* comes from an std::string's c_str() in the API |
| 16:34.48 | JeffM | ok, then you have no problem with DLLs |
| 16:35.04 | JeffM | the std::string will deallocate when it goes out of scope inside the API |
| 16:35.15 | JeffM | the plug-in isn't responsible for deleting the memory |
| 16:35.22 | JeffM | so you will have no issue |
| 16:35.40 | JeffM | there should be no problem using CURL or whatever inside the API |
| 16:36.05 | JeffM | I don't htink the DLL stuff mentioend in the linked article affects your uses of it |
| 16:37.32 | allejo | so, if the API function used a char* internally for whatever reason and returned that, the plug-in would have to deallocate the memory? |
| 16:38.45 | JeffM | so lets say you had a char* in your API guts, and called new char(10) or something |
| 16:38.50 | JeffM | then returned a char* to that |
| 16:38.59 | JeffM | and expected the plugin to call delete on it |
| 16:39.03 | JeffM | that would not work on windows |
| 16:40.46 | JeffM | you can't have one module allocate and another module deallocate |
| 16:43.27 | JeffM | std::string has the problem where it's not actualy a library class, it's a template defined in the header, if you send a std::string over to the plugin, then it added data to it, the plug-in's use of the std::string would possibly add more memory to the std::string, and now you've got a case where bzfs memory is being manipulated by the plug-in |
| 16:43.54 | JeffM | this is why I like managed code, it doesn't have that problem :) |
| 16:48.43 | JeffM | now I need to figure out how to automate preview generation https://www.hyperdrive.tech/BZU/previews/MYERSJ_3_Nov_2016_08_29_2408.gif |
| 16:50.33 | allejo | hmm then how does bz_BasePlayerRecord work? bz_getPlayerByIndex returns a pointer to a bz_BasePlayerRecord* and then requires a bz_freePlayerRecord()? |
| 16:50.52 | JeffM | yeah, the free tells BZFS to free it |
| 16:51.05 | JeffM | so the free happens inside bzfs, not inside the plugin |
| 16:51.23 | JeffM | the plugin doesn't do delete(player), it has to call a funciton to tell bzfs to do it |
| 16:51.37 | allejo | ohhhh |
| 16:52.32 | allejo | was that gif generated by unity? |
| 16:52.49 | JeffM | sorta |
| 16:53.03 | JeffM | I recorded it as an AVI then converted it |
| 16:53.23 | JeffM | I'd like to be able to have my tools directly dump a giff |
| 16:53.52 | JeffM | it'd be cool to be able to generate previews when saving the map |
| 16:58.43 | allejo | unity does the AVI processing/generating? |
| 16:58.48 | JeffM | no |
| 16:58.53 | JeffM | I had to use a tool |
| 16:58.59 | JeffM | unity can save screenshots |
| 16:59.17 | JeffM | so I can probably feed the screenshots into a lib to build a giff |
| 17:01.10 | JeffM | I guess I can just fire off a call to imagemagick |
| 17:04.20 | allejo | ah |
| 17:12.26 | JeffM | hmm maybe I can make some ancilary objects for "Screenshot points" |
| 17:12.38 | JeffM | and have it build up an entire release package on save |
| 17:12.57 | JeffM | do a spin, take some screenshots from specific places, save it all to a folder |
| 17:15.49 | JeffM | does the forum have some kind of odd image cache thing? https://forums.bzflag.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=19309&p=172619#p172619 it won't show my picture link |
| 17:16.27 | blast007 | images are proxied |
| 17:16.29 | allejo | it does use an image proxy |
| 17:16.38 | JeffM | does it have a size limit? |
| 17:16.58 | blast007 | no idea |
| 17:17.03 | JeffM | or just take time to cache up? |
| 17:17.20 | blast007 | it doesn't cache, just proxy |
| 17:17.32 | JeffM | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/yCDfHfaB/ |
| 17:17.34 | JeffM | that's what I see |
| 17:17.36 | blast007 | it's saying it's a 404 |
| 17:17.55 | JeffM | the link above it works, it's the same link I posted here |
| 17:18.12 | JeffM | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/gLz93Mt1/ |
| 17:18.21 | blast007 | dunno |
| 17:18.38 | blast007 | shows "Not Found" when I hit the proxied link |
| 17:18.49 | JeffM | yeah |
| 17:18.50 | blast007 | (which is a message generated by the proxy) |
| 17:18.56 | JeffM | does the real link work for you? |
| 17:19.00 | blast007 | yes |
| 17:19.07 | JeffM | so the proxy can't hit my server for some reason |
| 17:19.45 | blast007 | oh wait, I was looking at your ircclould link :P |
| 17:20.24 | blast007 | might have a memory limit or not support animated GIFs |
| 17:20.40 | JeffM | for the animated gif, I did not post a irccloud link, they can't host a picture over 15 megs |
| 17:21.06 | blast007 | yeah, I hadn't actaully clicked on them, I had just run a curl -I on it |
| 17:21.10 | allejo | i would think that the image proxy doesn't have gifs in the whitelist or has reached the file size |
| 17:22.01 | JeffM | that's unfortonate |
| 17:22.08 | blast007 | default limit is 5MB |
| 17:22.32 | JeffM | ahh |
| 17:22.39 | JeffM | that is probalby reasonable :) |
| 17:22.54 | JeffM | is the proxy to protect the posters or help the server? or do DDOS stuff? |
| 17:23.09 | blast007 | I'm surprised it still works at all since it's still on a free Heroku instance |
| 17:23.24 | blast007 | prevents collecting IPs via inlined images |
| 17:23.29 | JeffM | ahh ok |
| 17:23.33 | JeffM | that makes sense |
| 17:23.44 | JeffM | I can see that being an important thing for forums |
| 17:23.58 | blast007 | became necessary :) |
| 17:24.02 | JeffM | yeah |
| 17:24.35 | JeffM | that'd be a problem in client too if wildcard image hosting was allowed |
| 17:26.00 | blast007 | hmm, I guess they changed their free plan sightly from what I remember. I had thought that they were only gonna give you about 50% of the hours for a month for free each month, but seems like verified accounts get 1000 hours free dyno per month |
| 17:26.29 | blast007 | it was a problem in server hosting too |
| 17:26.57 | blast007 | which is why I manually add new public hosting keys now |
| 17:27.18 | JeffM | sure |
| 17:29.29 | blast007 | eventually I need to add SSL to the image proxy so that mixed content warnings go away, but to do that I either need to proxy it through my actual server or give monies to heroku |
| 17:33.19 | JeffM | how much does it cost? |
| 17:38.06 | blast007 | $7/month |
| 17:38.26 | JeffM | can you buy a year at a time? |
| 17:49.12 | blast007 | they don't list that as an option on their pricing page |
| 17:50.06 | JeffM | how much will a paid account help you? |
| 17:51.00 | blast007 | minimally |
| 17:51.09 | blast007 | only gets me SSL |
| 17:51.21 | blast007 | which I can already get if I just proxy through my server |
| 18:04.34 | JeffM | k |
| 18:29.54 | blast007 | ideally I'd just run the app myself eventually. it was just easy to set up on Heroku. |

| 20:54.18 | JeffM | right now I'm runing image magick from the command line |
| 20:54.28 | JeffM | it just dumps a bunch of pngs to a folder you specifcy |
| 20:56.12 | JeffM | so it shoudl work everywhere |

| 21:17.04 | JeffM | there are even some libs I could probalby imbed |

| 21:49.08 | JeffM | allejo: what map should I used to test the options problem you reported? |

| 22:41.59 | JeffM | I'll try to do link front/back markers tonight |
| 22:42.42 | JeffM | and some kind of water level display I guess |
| 22:43.02 | allejo | i'm loving that tag name |
| 22:43.22 | JeffM | I missed the a :( |
| 22:43.32 | allejo | :) |
| 22:43.42 | JeffM | can you rename tags? |
| 22:44.17 | JeffM | there we go https://github.com/JeffM2501/UnityBZWTools/releases/tag/alpha_0.0.04.110316 |
| 22:45.01 | allejo | you can't rename them, you can only create new ones and have to delete the old one |
| 22:45.12 | allejo | you still have the old one on github |
| 22:45.37 | allejo | it's a git thing |
| 22:45.46 | JeffM | how does one delete a tag? |
| 22:46.01 | allejo | iirc, git tag -d tagName |
| 22:46.38 | allejo | then, git push origin --tags to delete from origin |
| 22:46.59 | allejo | or git push --delete tagName |
| 22:47.05 | JeffM | buthh typing.... |
| 22:47.22 | blast007 | I'd think most GUIs can do it too |
| 22:47.27 | allejo | ^ |
| 22:47.27 | blast007 | SourceTree can, afaik |
| 22:47.34 | allejo | GitKraken can too |
