00:51.22menotumeIt is a sad day in Ducati-land.
00:51.30menotumeTLZ has left the league
00:51.35redsoxfan90why?
00:51.40[wegstar]O_o
00:51.41menotumeOne of the orignal teams
00:51.59redsoxfan90why?leave
00:52.23menotumeread the league forums - 'general discussions'

00:53.11menotumehttp://my.bzflag.org/league/index.php?link=bzforums&forumid=1&threadid=1020&
00:54.25redsoxfan90doesnt say why tho
00:55.04menotumekeep reading
00:55.38[wegstar]"enhancements"?
01:00.21orangeoh, #bzflag has been left out of this whole firestorm
01:00.46menotumethey refer to the mouse enhancement thread
01:01.21[wegstar]hmm
01:01.44orangeand by the way redsoxfan90, trolling the various admins who happen to be on the server asking for the password, saying you were trusted, etc.  -- that's not the best way to show you deserve any slack.
01:04.01brlcadmenotume: basiclly due to cheating?
01:04.15menotumewell, not really cheating
01:04.35menotumei'm not sure I understand the Zees position on this yet - have not talked to them
01:05.03trepanbrlcad: heh, increasing mouse sensitivity
01:05.10trepan(from what little i read)
01:05.10menotumeperhpas they don't see the league as friendly as it once was
01:05.21menotumetrepan: yes
01:05.46trepanand any display over 19" should be banned too
01:05.54menotumethere's moer to it, increased radar size, extra radar zooms, etc.
01:05.59menotumeall normal stuff
01:06.10menotumetrepan: well, if you play against them
01:06.23menotumeyou would probably think that they are cheating
01:06.32[wegstar]:)
01:06.34menotumecan't explain it
01:06.59[wegstar]menotume: its called skill ;)
01:07.09menotumeI think they have developed a differnt playstyle, based on extrem mouse adjustments
01:07.19menotumeyep
01:07.42menotumemouse boz size=1, acell all thew way up, mouse sensitivity up
01:07.55menotumecannot drive a straight line :)
01:09.26brlcadyeah, I know the "effect" .. just wondering if that is what the Zee's are upset with
01:09.27menotumeI don't think TLZ is an slouch when it comes to skill
01:09.34menotumedunno
01:09.57menotumecould be more the bickering, and 'secrecy'
01:10.24brlcadmaybe they just miss me
01:10.55wegstarheh
01:12.58menotumethta's it, the entire league is going down the tubes, because learna left
01:14.34wegstarwhaat?

02:43.08spldarthrm... On a hard game where I score pretty bad I do seem to pull off some captures on hepcat ctf :confused:
02:43.21BIYAlol
02:43.23BIYAhappens
02:43.44spldarthehe... I had the worst kill to death ratio but pulled 3 captures :/
02:44.01MeBigFatGuyoften folks play on ctf without really caring about the flag - part
02:44.35spldartI seem to get pissed and go after the flag hard over and over while shooting at every opposing team member.
02:44.45spldartMost of the time I get killed. but  few times it pays off.
02:44.50spldartBTW!
02:45.10spldartI saw the most beautiful escort by my team I have ever seen in CTF so far :-0
02:45.19spldartOf course I've not been playing long.
02:45.36spldartI had a two layered defense all the way to near home base.
02:45.51spldartIt was glorious ;)
02:46.42spldartI always though I'd prefer playing rogue on maps like spiralzone... and still do sometimes. But CTF is really addictive

02:47.22spldartTo bad the LouMan map I'm hosting doesn't lend itself to CTF
02:48.12spldartMaybe I should host two on my new linux server. One intranet (Time Trials) for the kids. One internet (Bridges) for CTF ;)
02:48.24spldartSorry... I'm rambling
02:48.36BIYAkeep going :)
02:48.36spldartI guess I still love this game :)
02:48.54spldartHehe.. I'm done.. I promise
02:49.33spldart[/ramble] [serious question]
02:49.48spldartI can host two maps on one linux server correct?
02:50.03cosmosive had over 50 on one server before
02:50.06spldartDifferent directory for each... One intra and one inter?
02:50.13spldartSweet
02:50.33spldartThis weekend is going to be busy... After I get back from my trip.
02:50.51cosmosyeah you need to organize it a bit
02:55.52spldartOrganize the linux machine?
02:57.00cosmosyeah make sure your bz structure is easy to manage
02:57.07cosmosnot just a directory full of stuff
02:57.24cosmosie i have a maps, config, logs, binaries directory
02:57.32cosmosconfig file for each map/server

03:10.47spldartwoah... daemontools is a new one on me. I was thinking two seperate directories under bzuser. One labeled specific to each map
03:11.15spldartI could just bounce back and forth between config timetrials and config bridges
03:11.19spldartor some such thing
03:11.24spldartLOL at the /report

03:29.29Thumper_thx
03:29.46Thumper_I'm thinking I can just build my masterban list from yours + the individual ban files from each server
03:29.59Thumper_and feed that to my servers as it's master ban file
03:30.15Thumper_that way admins can still do /ban /unban on the servers and

16:35.33JeffM2501would simply be a forced respawn
16:35.47BearPersonwithout dying, losing points or losing the flag
16:35.55_Manu_BearPerson, for changing your pos just press Del key
16:36.09BearPersonlol... but for changing someone else's pos?
16:36.30_Manu_BearPerson, then just press P key
16:36.34BearPersonwe just had a base camper on red when there were 8 reds vs 3-4 blues
16:38.09*** join/#bzflag DarthValou (~none@lsn-boi-catv-c121-p065.vtx.ch)
16:38.15_Manu_BearPerson, camping 8-3 is not funny :(
16:38.25JeffM2501you'd have to have a new message that would tell the client to despawn the player with out killing them
16:38.29*** join/#bzflag mmu_man (revol@ALyon-112-1-7-240.w81-49.abo.wanadoo.fr)
16:38.41BearPersonthat's why a /slap command would have been nice
16:38.42Pimpii think anti-campin is a map issue
16:38.45ruskieyeah idea waas mine for the slap...
16:38.54JeffM2501it would need a client and server change
16:39.02BearPersonkindof a soft /kill
16:39.10JeffM2501if you going to that lenths why not give the ability to just bump them to oberserver
16:39.14JeffM2501same kinda deal
16:39.18Pimpinot before 2.2
16:39.32BearPersonI guess
16:39.36JeffM2501yeah
16:39.40JeffM2501it would be incompatable
16:39.44JeffM2501with 2.0.x clients
16:40.23Pimpibut anyway, we have zones, isn't one of the zone option useful for anti base camping?
16:42.03Pimpiscoreboard patch?
16:42.17BearPersoncustom sorting by different functions
16:42.38BearPerson(entirely client-side and non-play-changing)
16:43.57_Manu_BearPerson, for base campers.. an automated shockwave before the team respawn is nice :)
16:44.14BearPersonyeah, that'd be sweet :)
16:44.20_Manu_a server weapon... :)
16:44.24BearPersonshockwave when the flag is placed there maybe
16:44.26ruskieyeah...
16:44.37Pimpicool idea
16:44.49_Manu_is not difficult to implement.. :)
16:44.50BearPersonthat shouldn't be hard... when the flag is reset after a cap the flag emits a SW
16:45.04BearPersonwant to leave it to me for practice or what? ;-)
16:45.18_Manu_and this can be enabled/disabled by the server admin..
16:46.05Pimpipatches welcome
16:46.11BearPersonwell, brb, eating :)
16:46.42PimpiBearPerson: i don't really understand your patches description
16:47.31Pimpi"hopping around half the board when
16:47.32Pimpithey just came in" ?
16:48.34JeffM2501ruskie, patches welcome :)
16:49.13ruskieJeffM2501, well a) I don't code b) when I plan on learing it will be C/ObjC c) if I ever learn then I will surrley make contributions
16:49.39_Manu_ruskie, actually you can move!!.. the map
16:49.58_Manu_ruskie, or making the map moving..
16:50.04ruskie<-- has flag ideas rolling...
16:50.18ruskie_Manu_, I was thinking more along the lines of moveable objects
16:50.34_Manu_ruskie, actually you can move all the objects..
16:50.49ruskieat various angles and so?
16:50.54JeffM2501moving objects is kinda a pita, cus you have to then time sync worlds
16:51.03JeffM2501so that the stuff that moves is in the right place for everyone
16:51.04_Manu_ruskie, yes.. there is a trick for it.. ;)
16:51.10ruskieyeah that's true
16:51.35_Manu_ruskie, do you know how to make it?
16:52.04ruskienope...
16:52.13ruskienot really interested... don't have a server...
16:52.15_Manu_well.. it's very esasy
16:52.27_Manu_no need a server.. you can do it from client side
16:52.53_Manu_when you respawn.. just press and hold pressed... right arrow key... all the map moves round you

17:11.31Pimpiyep, i had to finish an very urgent article and i didn't want any changes on the system while it was still unfinished
17:11.54Pimpijust in case anything would break
17:13.07Pimpihm, it's no good sign if root's history is unusual short...
17:13.50jpa-why not?
17:14.10Pimpiwhy was it purged?
17:14.20Pimpior who purged it, and why?
17:14.22jpa-maybe a boot or something?
17:14.39Pimpi<PROTECTED>
17:14.51jpa-i think it is pty dependant etc.
17:14.55TimRikerhmm (Wins-Losses)/(Wins+Losses) score. /me ponders
17:15.10jpa-maybe ls -lh /root/.bash_history
17:16.18jpa-TimRiker: hmm.. wouldn't that limit it to +-1?
17:16.41jpa-ewww.. bzflag players would have to learn to deal with floating point numbers :/
17:16.56TimRikeryep. could then normalize to 0-100 or similar "score"
17:17.17jpa-hmm.. isn't that the one we use in rabit chase now?
17:18.23TimRikerI'm pondering if there is a way to add a time curve. ie: linear scaling based on max player's win+loss
17:18.52TimRikerplayer with max win+loss if loss=0 would = 100 score.
17:19.13TimRikermy same token all losses for that player would == 0 for a score.
17:19.25TimRikerplayers would enter with a 50 and move up or down.
17:19.35jpa-we could make it sqrt(wins-losses) and laugh at people trying to deal with their imaginary scores :)
17:19.47TimRikerheh
17:21.14Chestalit would also be possible to use ELO
17:21.31Chestalso killing a player with a high ELO would be worth more
17:21.39TimRikerlike "Turn to Stone" or "Fire on High" ?
17:22.00Chestalthis would assume that all battles are 1-1 whic they are not of course
17:22.48JeffM2501what does the electric light orchistra have to do with tanks?
17:31.06JeffM2501yes
17:31.15JeffM2501I am older then time
17:33.24BearPersonwell, what I like about (Wins-Losses)/(Wins+Losses) is that it does not change at all over time
17:34.37BearPersonHowever, if someone goes from 1-1 to 2-1 the player would hop from 0 to 1/3, which usually will make him go from place 10 to place 3
17:34.49BearPersonwhich is what I called "hopping"
17:35.34BearPersonhmmm... /me starts to think assigning low priorities to things makes them considered earlier ;-)
17:38.38JeffM2501anyone ever use plib?
17:41.17TimRikerkeeping a matrix of who killed who and ranking recursively might be nice too.
17:41.21TimRikerBearPerson: =)
17:42.12BearPersonHmm. but then you'd have a>b>c>a situations
17:42.36BearPersonmaybe sorting by number of people that the player killed>was killed by
17:42.46BearPerson+t
17:43.13TimRikerBearPerson: I wasa thinking of scaling over "time" where time == w+l such that the player with the largest w+l could get 1 or -1 but someone with 1/2 the w+l could only get .5 to -.5 or similar.
17:43.37TimRikerlinear scale might not be the best thing, perhaps reverse exponential or something.
17:43.38BearPersonhmm
17:44.02BearPersonso basically (W-L)/(Wmax-Lmax)
17:44.03TimRikerthen I'd convert the -1 to 1 scale into a 0 to 100 rank.
17:44.25BearPersonI have it from -1000 to 1000 on my box
17:44.45BearPersonworks pretty well... nobody usually gets more than +-300
17:44.54TimRikerI find 0 to 100 easier. then you can shoot for a perfect 100
17:44.59BearPerson:)
17:45.02TimRikeror a perfect 0 =)
17:45.17BearPersonI saw a perfect -1000 today
17:45.27TimRikerlame bots. ;-)
17:45.34BearPersondon't think it was a bot even
17:45.43TimRikershoulda been
17:45.45TimRiker=)
17:45.48BearPersonmanaged to get and lock on with a GM
17:45.59BearPersonbut the people were evading too well
17:47.14BearPersonbut I think having some "warmup time" where you don't divide by w+l yet may serve us best
17:47.14TimRikeran ideal rank would take into account who you kill. so if the guy that w=70 l=4 gets killed 8 times by the newbie who happens to ignore the other lamers, then newbie could get ranked higher than the 70 guy.
17:47.31BearPersonyeah
17:47.48BearPersonwould be cool then if the high ranked had some way of showing...
17:48.00BearPersonI was thinking of glowing turrets
17:48.09TimRikerhehe
17:48.34TimRikerscale tanks by rank.
17:48.34BearPersona perfect +1 would illuminate a good lot at night
17:48.47BearPersonof course, it would make them easier targets, but probably just slightly
17:48.49TimRikerhigher rank means larger, slower tank.
17:48.53JeffM2501it's called fatboy TimRiker :)
17:48.58BearPersonand may have effects on teamplay, positive or negative
17:49.03TimRikerJeffM2501: ok, fatboy
17:49.08BearPersonlool
17:49.18JeffM2501UT did it to great sucsess
17:49.37JeffM2501but fat people look funnyer then fat tanks :)
17:50.05BearPersonhmm. maybe tall tanks :)
17:50.09JeffM2501would be an easy cheat to get around tho
17:50.17JeffM2501since you'd have to send a "fatness" message
17:50.24JeffM2501and trust the client to use it
17:50.27JeffM2501for coldet
17:50.42BearPersonthe bot would be a disc, and Manu would be a skyscraper ;-)
17:50.50JeffM2501mmm maybe the code for fatmessage could be LARD
17:50.55BearPersonhehe
17:51.25TimRikereach client would know the ranks for all the other players based on scores, and calculate the tank sizes. so the other tanks would look right, but a hacked client could ignore that and make themselves small.
17:51.43JeffM2501TimRiker, would you not want the server to compute the fatness?
17:51.43TimRikerif speed were effected though, the server speed checks would enforce that.

17:52.09TimRikerJeffM2501: I'd want the server to send out the rank info in some form.
17:52.48TimRikerBearPerson: the tanks have red and green lights. just grow those or add more.
17:53.10BearPersondo they? never noticed them
17:53.31BearPersonI suppose you can have a "brightness" for lights?
17:53.41TimRikerJeffM2501: server would likely also send a size/speed/shotlength/etc factors for the handicap settings.
17:54.18TimRikerBearPerson: just put a pillar of light shining up (ie laser) from the top of the winner.
17:54.31BearPersonhehe, that'd look sweet too
17:54.47BearPersonbut also I'd like me to have headlights depending on how well I'm doing ;-)
17:56.13BearPersonhmm. white lights or team-color lights... decisions, decisions
17:56.53BearPersonIt might be considered cheatey though, because you can easily spot who's good and who's bad
18:00.38BearPersonhuhhh? What makes you get the message "Tank Rusted"?
18:01.27DTRemenakBearPerson, death by waterlevel
18:01.36BearPersonah, I see

18:18.06*** join/#bzflag bzflagwiz (~c02b41f5@webchat.bzflag.bz)
18:35.55BearPersonHmm. Now how do I call a function associated with the player playing the tank when I'm in TankSceneNode.cxx ...
18:39.22JeffM2501IIRC you generaly don't know the player, the player sets all it's data in the scenenode
18:39.37JeffM2501graphics and gameplay are "suposed" to be seperated
18:42.10BearPersonso if I want to carry score data into rendering I have to make the score get set in some value in the node...
18:42.27JeffM2501yes
18:42.42JeffM2501just like color, position, and all that other stuff
18:42.49JeffM2501so the graphics system can stand alone
18:43.21JeffM2501or build a new node that is somehow linked to the tank node and moves with it
18:43.38JeffM2501you going to draw the score over the tank?
18:44.26BearPersonI was going to make a light at the tank getting brighter with higher score
18:44.42JeffM2501oh
18:44.54JeffM2501game is limited to 8 lights isn't it?
18:44.57JeffM2501GL lights that is
18:44.59BearPersonmaybe
18:45.14JeffM2501those are allmost allways taken up by shots first
18:45.23BearPersonyeah, I guess
18:45.24JeffM2501or were you going to make a kind of "fake" light?
18:45.32JeffM2501like a bright ball?

18:45.39JeffM2501or were you going to move the GL light?
18:45.50BearPersonbut making it illuminate the ground would just look sweet :)
18:45.55JeffM2501no mater what, you'd want it set as an atribute

18:46.05JeffM2501becuase there may be other ways to set it later down the road
18:46.12JeffM2501like making the rabbit have the glow
18:46.20BearPersonbasically just a "headlight" that brightens the area around the tank
18:46.22JeffM2501then only the game code has to change, not the rendering
18:46.27JeffM2501ohh a world light
18:46.31BearPersondoes the rabbit glow already?
18:46.31JeffM2501that's going to be a GL light
18:46.34JeffM2501no
18:46.40JeffM2501it's just a bright texture
18:46.54BearPersonahh, well, I'll go see whatever works best I guess
18:47.30BearPersonI mean, it would just look so _sweet_ to see a bright light coming round the corner and everyone just going "uh-oh" ;-)
18:49.12JeffM2501what did you plan on doing for light?
18:49.18TuponeJeffM2501: IIRC, trepan removed that
18:49.24TuponeI mean used more light
18:49.32JeffM2501Tupone, I don't see how, since it's a GL limit
18:49.41JeffM2501unless he redid the entire lighting thing
18:49.45TuponeI think it change the light dynamically
18:49.46JeffM2501to allways use the 8 closest lights
18:49.50Tuponenot sure
18:49.56JeffM2501so there is a "bz light" then?
18:50.03JeffM2501it's posible he did
18:50.07JeffM2501now shot glows arn't lights
18:50.08Tuponewell, I suppose yes :/
18:50.29JeffM2501show glows are like a projection thing
18:50.37JeffM2501at least on the ground
18:50.46JeffM2501the boxes are a teselation thing
18:50.57TuponeI'm sure he did something about. Not sure what
18:51.05JeffM2501well how did you plan on doing the light
18:51.25JeffM2501Tupone, I think he changed them somewhat
18:51.33BearPersonI think I saw some code around that selects the closest/most important lights, yeah
18:51.36Tuponeyeah :)
18:51.53JeffM2501that would be the logical thing
18:52.31BearPersonWell, the idea from my side would simply to take some normalized score and make players illuminate the area or something depending on it
18:52.52BearPersonso you'd somehow recognize a good player, especially at night

19:48.01ibotewwwww.. /me feels like throwing up
19:48.05BenUrbanLOL
19:48.44Grumbleryou would think CIA-3 is a bot wouldnt you.......
19:49.34jpa-i thought it was TimRiker's another personality, and he is just writing that stuff when someone commits
19:49.56BenUrbanheh
19:50.03BenUrbani've seen other CIA bots
19:50.05Grumblerthats just cover for scanline's dark projects
19:50.09BenUrbanthere's one in #gentoo-dev iirc
19:53.12Grumbleryes, its a bot and is in no way a group of deep operatives tracking/modifying open source code into a system of collective of back doors waiting for the leader to give the word....
19:53.26Grumbleryes, its a bot.
19:54.35Grumblerit has nothing to do with langely or undisclosed locations in utah

19:55.05Tuponeok
19:55.42Grumblerfor awhile there i wondered what it had to do with large stones being thrown down ice
19:56.05TimRikerit's just c-url no?
19:57.18jpa-TimRiker: yes, probably :)
19:57.40jpa-but i didn't understand that before tupreone wrote it 'cURL' :)
19:57.46Tuponehttp://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ cURL on the logo

20:57.59JeffM2501heh
20:59.01Grumblerbad job is a relative term.  bad in relation to what.  the forum is up, and there are few of the ramblings there were........you are harsh at times, but that is about it.
21:00.08JeffM2501I try not to be
21:00.30JeffM2501but I think sometimes ya gotta stick to a rule
21:00.54Grumbleryeah, like i said there are fewer rambliings
21:01.02Grumblerso the harsh is working
21:01.10JeffM2501I'd hope that's a good thing not a bad thing
21:01.24Grumblernot my style.
21:01.27JeffM2501I screw up some times
21:01.30JeffM2501and that is bad :(
21:01.49Grumblereverybody screws up
21:02.02JeffM2501when I screw up, accounts get deleted :(
21:02.15Grumbler...and accounts can be renewed
21:02.36JeffM2501tho the last one I killed by accedent, went and got itself baned
21:02.44JeffM2501maybe I'm just psycic
21:02.52Grumbleran considering there are few if any consistently helpful posts, deletion of posts is not a catrasphoic event either
21:03.17JeffM2501just seems that people freak when I delete a post
21:03.20JeffM2501like I do it all the time
21:03.33JeffM2501in the last 2 weeks there have been like 3 removoals IIRC
21:03.39JeffM2501one involved a curse word
21:03.48JeffM2501one I thought wanted to be removed but was wrong
21:03.54JeffM2501and the other was meant for the leauge

21:14.28Grumblernow that is coming out of left field.....suspension?   fyi, sry about yesterday, conference call.....did you get your problem solved?
21:14.42CBGme?
21:14.53Grumblerthe map size stuff
21:14.58CBGI have many problems every day... :)
21:15.01CBGOh. No...
21:15.12CBGI ahve to define -worldsize when running bzfs...
21:15.32CBGDefining the worldsize in the map file won't work :(
21:15.45Grumblerok, well, guess what, i am out of ideas....so........maybe if cods, jpa-, Aribeth_away  is awake
21:16.07CBGI have posted all about it on the bb...
21:16.17CBGbut it seems very few of the devs check it.
21:16.32BearPersonhmm. This looks like it may eventually become something nice... :)
21:16.35Grumblerlot of people dont do a daily check on bzbb and fly through most of the posts.....so they may not know
21:16.56CBGThis is what I have in the map file:
21:16.57CBGworld
21:16.58CBG<PROTECTED>
21:16.58CBGend
21:17.13CBGI can't see why that won't work... It's what the man page says...
21:17.29Grumbler...and that is the style in a couple of the maps i have
21:17.41Grumblerof course my maps are old
21:17.45JeffM2501still don't get what you mean by "suspention"
21:17.50CBGOh...
21:17.58CBGOn my map, there is a wall you can shoot under
21:18.02CBGbut cant drive under
21:18.17CBGUNLESS you drop down from a box right infront of this wall,
21:18.26CBGwhen you land, you sink into the ground a tiny bit
21:18.31CBGenough to get under the wall... :D
21:18.39JeffM2501then the gap isn't tall enough
21:18.52CBGI know...
21:19.03Tuponehi CBG, I miss you. It's fine to shoot you
21:19.04CBGbut I never knew tanks had  a suspension.
21:19.13JeffM2501they don't
21:19.17CBGBut, I guess it could be a good thing

21:27.29JeffM2501wookies could be the saving grace of 3
21:27.34GrumblerBearPerson<  the only issue i see is that the lighting extends under the platforms....shouldnt it be shadow there
21:27.49JeffM2501Grumbler, bzflag dos that with all lights
21:27.51BearPersoncomplain to the GL lib ;-)
21:27.59JeffM2501it's not GL that does that
21:28.01Grumbleroh, well that sucks
21:28.03JeffM2501it's the bzflag lighting model
21:28.05BearPersonthere's a few issues still
21:28.09JeffM2501shadows from one object don't cast on others
21:28.24JeffM2501GL just does what it's told to do.
21:28.24BearPersonlike green halos being way brighter than purple or red
21:28.25CBGDidn't I hear about people queing up outised a cinema like 2 months befre the film came out?
21:28.33BearPersonblue is usually brighter too
21:28.34CBGBut it was the wrong cinema??
21:28.47Grumblerthen there is pink
21:28.59brlcadmm.. pink
21:29.10JeffM2501shadows need to be redone as lightmaps, or as a stencel pass, then they would block light like you want Grumbler
21:29.18JeffM2501liteish red
21:32.46brlcadpink mulch?
21:35.11CBGWait... If I run bzfs to test my map...
21:35.24CBGCan anyone else go to my server with my IP address?
21:35.47CBGI guess no... I need to open my firewall and router on port 5154, yeah?
21:36.00JeffM2501of you have a route
21:36.00JeffM2501yeah
21:36.30CBGSo, I just need to open up port 5154 and thats it... I have a server... :D
21:36.44JeffM2501it's not just "open"
21:36.50JeffM2501you have to set a static route
21:36.58CBG*gulp*
21:36.58JeffM2501on your router for that port to your local IP
21:37.08CBGHow?
21:37.11JeffM2501what router do you have?
21:37.24CBGIts a buffalo...
21:37.36JeffM2501should have something for a virtual server
21:37.39JeffM2501or static route
21:37.42JeffM2501or something like that.
21:37.49CBGwhere? in the manual?

21:46.43CBGand he was already real cheery a few weeks back...
21:46.43JeffM2501can't help you with that
21:46.48CBGlol. :D
21:47.06CBGBreakfast in bed this saturday, perhaps?
21:47.55JeffM2501looks like they call it static routing
21:48.23JeffM2501hmm looks to be a decently complex little box
21:48.28JeffM2501not realy of the home user type
21:48.32JeffM2501more of a soho thing
21:49.13CBGthe router we have?
21:49.21JeffM2501yes

21:50.02JeffM2501oh an 11
21:50.05CBGallows 4 computers to connect some wirelessly, some with wires.
21:50.14JeffM2501it allows 255 computers actualy

21:50.31CBGNot at the same time...

21:51.08CBGSo, it gives the otion of 200+...
21:51.19JeffM2501yeah 255
21:51.26CBGbut you cant actually have that without buying more stuff...
21:51.29JeffM2501that is the max sise of the subnet it supports :)
21:51.35JeffM2501you could have that with wireless
21:51.43CBGwhat?
21:51.43JeffM2501and hubs are cheap
21:51.45BenUrbanCBG: more stuff = more computers :)
21:51.50CBGcould ahve waht with wirelss?

21:52.02BenUrbanyou can have up to 255 computers connected with no extra eq
21:52.02JeffM2501device supports a full subnet
21:52.05BenUrbanif you go wireless

21:52.24JeffM2501how ever you chose to get the ports

21:57.46BenUrbanCBG: login = admin, password = password'
21:57.57JeffM2501you would not be competent enough to mess with it's settings

22:00.31JeffM2501then read the docs
22:00.35JeffM2501see what it says
22:00.37JeffM2501use the noodle
22:00.44[dmp]Just wondering. If BZFlag crashes, leaving my x in 800x600 res, how can i get it back to my original setting? (1600x1200) ? Is there any other way, except restarting it?
22:00.46JeffM2501expand your mind
22:01.02JeffM2501dmp what OS?
22:01.12CBGJeffM: all I asked was where di you find the docs...
22:01.19CBGI'm looking on google and theirs no sign.
22:01.22JeffM2501CBG, and I told you how
22:01.23brlcad[dmp]: ctrl-alt-+ ?
22:01.30[dmp]JeffM2501: linux/debian
22:01.31theEnemy[dmp]: try ctrl-alt-+
22:01.34JeffM2501go to the mfgs website
22:01.34brlcadshould cycle the resolutions
22:01.39CBGmfgs?
22:01.43JeffM2501manufactures
22:01.46JeffM2501the people who made it
22:01.46brlcadand howdy [dmp] :)
22:01.48CBGok
22:01.51[dmp]does it need to be numpad + ?
22:01.55theEnemyyes
22:02.01brlcad+/-
22:02.14theEnemyif that doesn't work, try switching to a VT and back with ctrl-alt-f1
22:02.22theEnemythen ctrl-alt-f7
22:02.33theEnemyyou never know
22:02.42JeffM2501specialy on linux :)
22:02.57theEnemymaybe he's using SCO Unix, or Ultrix ;)
22:03.03brlcadctrl-alt-backspace is my favorite way to reset the resolution
22:03.07[dmp]+/- dosnst work for some reason (nothing changes at all). f1/f7 didnt reset
22:03.11[dmp]:)
22:03.14JeffM2501he said he was using debian :)
22:03.24JeffM2501install windows :)
22:03.28[dmp]got that
22:03.39[dmp]it keeps telling me, that gimp is just installed :)
22:03.39theEnemyvt switch not work either? oh well
22:04.10brlcad[dmp]: tried running bz again, switch to a higher res and crash it again?
22:04.23[dmp]theEnemy / brlcad : its a laptop - with no numpad. I
22:04.28[dmp].. oops
22:04.44JeffM2501function key should turn some of the keys into a virtual num pad
22:04.49[dmp]yeah
22:04.56brlcad[dmp]: it doesn't have to be the number, it has to be + .. which off the number pad is shift=
22:05.13[dmp]but i was wondering if that somehow was the reason that -/+ dosnt appear to work (works nicely on workstation)
22:05.24[dmp]brlcad: neither of them works :(
22:05.34[dmp]brlcad: i cant make bzflag crash that often :)
22:05.37theEnemyrerun bzflag and use it to switch to a higher res
22:05.41theEnemyand then just quit bzflag
22:05.44theEnemyit might work
22:05.46brlcadthen that must be either turned off or rebound to different keys.. your X11 config should shed some light
22:06.05brlcadtheEnemy: shouldn't, bzflag returns you to what you started with
22:06.26brlcad[dmp]: are you using gdm?
22:06.45theEnemythen start it, swithc to a vt with ctrl-alt-f1, log in, and killall -9 bzflag
22:06.48brlcadif you are, seriously ctrl-alt-backspace should log you out and reset it :)
22:07.04theEnemythat's as good as a crash
22:07.28[dmp]brlcad: no, fluxbox. I know ctrl-alt-backspace, but i was just wondering if that were another way :)
22:07.37brlcadahh flux
22:07.55brlcadflux through gdm? :)
22:08.06brlcador you "startx" when you want it
22:08.15JeffM2501he dosn't want to logout and loose his "stuff"
22:08.27theEnemyquite right
22:08.41[dmp]brlcad: xdm, flux isnt allowed on laptop (gf like to infect it with gnome :) )
22:08.47theEnemyi've been able to go for months on linux withou logging out, nevermind rebooting :)
22:08.50[dmp]brlcad: s/flux/gnome/
22:09.18brlcadxdm is actually what I meant .. :)
22:09.29[dmp]theEnemy: same here. But uni forces me to use windows .. but thats not my current problem :)

22:09.43brlcadgive up :)

23:10.40[dmp]i dont see the big problem
23:12.08sussii think it mess up the feature what leveling the different lag
23:12.59[dmp]in fact i read the whole thread as a sympton that league changed alot, in how people act nowadays. This "problem" is about attitude, some felt left outside of "the group" and alike.

23:15.42*** join/#bzflag Mr_Molez (~admin@ACC89EDE.ipt.aol.com)
23:16.11sussiyeah nice to hear that u see this point as well
23:16.22sussipeople using it
23:16.48[dmp]i think problems related to network/lag is a bigger factor than controls-related stuff
23:18.27[dmp]making the mouse go quicker, dosnt improve your reactions if they are slow. And when mouse is faster, it is harder to aim properly. So using a quicker mouse isnt just a win-win always. Some emight gain alittle from it - but i think its more related to how they play.
23:18.39sussiis it true if u give opposits  inputs in the same time as the lag is?
23:19.07sussii mean the math not the human factor
23:20.40sussii neighter but i had some nightmares with esp this feature (double went through lets say 3-2 tanklenghts)
23:24.19sussineed to sleep bye
