01:28.04a_meteoritehmm, bzflag 2.0.x keeps crashing on me...
01:28.10a_meteorite2007-09-24 18:27:26.830 bzflag[20048] Exception raised during posting of notification.  Ignored.  exception: *** -[NSLayoutManager glyphRangeForTextContainer:]: given container does not appear in the list of containers for this NSLayoutManager.
01:29.17JeffMbrlcad wanted to know what version of curl you had
01:30.00a_meteoritebzflag's configure recognizes curl 7.13.1
01:31.06JeffMthat what apple shiped with you? or did you ever update it?
01:31.15JeffMand what version of OSX?
01:31.44a_meteoritethat's apple's, yeah, I have 10.4.10
01:32.16JeffMwelll he's going to build a universal for the RC2
01:32.18a_meteoriteI installed macport's newer curl 7.16.4, though bzflag didn't seem to recognize it even when I used the curl configure switches
01:32.22JeffMmaybe try that build
01:32.25a_meteoriteok
01:32.26JeffMoh
01:32.35JeffMyeah that may do it
01:33.04JeffMconfigure may only show the headers it found, not the lib that the runtime is using
01:33.10a_meteoritehmmm
01:33.37a_meteoriteit's not reproducable, I can go a few minutes and crash in-game, in a menu, or for more than a half hour

15:31.53brlcadthere was a problem in our root
15:31.58brlcadhad to be manually fixed

15:35.23Chestalhmm, I can't remember a pre-sf time
15:37.58DTRemenaklooks like pre- and post-svn
15:38.32brlcadah, maybe cvs was sensitive and svn isn't or vice-versa
15:38.53DTRemenakswitched around March 07 (from lower to upper)
15:38.54brlcads/sensitive/preserving/
15:39.30brlcadyeah, sounds like svn preserves, cvs probably clamped to lowercase

17:15.43Constitutiondelusional: 2.0.8 did include plugins I believe... they should have been in a directory called "Plugins" within the application bundle.
17:16.36Constitutionthe mac .dmg, that is
17:17.07ConstitutionJeffM: what was the mac build problem?
17:17.28brlcadJeffM: I generally like to arrive early and leave late so I can explore some or code or work out or whatever
17:17.54brlcadbut at this point, it'll probably depend heavily on the ticket availability .. have yet to book
17:21.07JeffMbrlcad, I'm renting a car, so I figured we should all try to get and leave at the same time

17:28.56JeffMcus I mean we can get there prety much any time on friday
17:29.03JeffMthey run flights every hour
17:29.12JeffMwe just need to book soon
17:43.22brlcadsaturday is the important one, you can do whatever for Sun/Fri :)
17:43.38brlcadI suspect that'll just be more coding and mingling days
17:44.44brlcadjust finished testing branch (again) .. didn't run into any problems/crashes here
17:48.53Constitutionjust to throw something out, this happened to me the other day... any ideas for the cause come to mind? http://fairserve.net/const/bz_bug_screenshot.png
17:49.24JeffMwell they pay for the hotell on saturday
17:49.32JeffMwell firday night/ saturday morning
17:49.32Constitutionit was right after I left a server, then I had gone to the Find Server menu, and returned to the main screen
17:49.47JeffMthen we'ld have to pay for it on sat night
17:50.02JeffMthen leave on sunday
17:50.12JeffMwhen it's all over
17:50.18JeffMcus IIRC it ends sunday night
17:50.25JeffMsaturday night
17:50.26JeffMmy bad
17:51.12brlcadyeah, ends sat night
17:51.25JeffMthat's why I figured we'd just fly out sunday morning
17:51.30JeffMso no rush to leave
17:57.53jorgenptYay, I'm finally doing electronics-stuff.
17:58.04jorgenptWrote soft-PWM, if anyone knows what PWM is. ;)
17:58.45brlcad~pwm
17:58.45iboti guess pwm is a VERY lightweight (really. I'm serious.) window manager that has the cool feature of being able to put multiple windows into one "frame". http://www.students.tut.fi/~tuomov/pwm/, or now in stable, or see also 'literal ion'
17:59.03jorgenptPulse-width modulation ;-)
18:00.18JeffMErroneous, what time would you like to be home on sunday?
18:00.19jorgenptIt's a technique in digital electronics of delivering less power than what would've been delivered if the pin was constantly 'high' ('on')
18:01.33jorgenpt(In the base scenario, you either push 5V or 0V. PWM allows you to "emulate" having 2.5V by switching (fast) between 5V and 0V, 5V being on 50% of the time)

20:16.19JeffMwhat I'm not sure is how google comps the hotell
20:16.56JeffMI guess they bundle that up in the rembursement

20:25.43brlcadJeffM: pay by company
20:25.49JeffMk
20:26.04JeffMthen I guess we pay for the extra day when we get there?
20:26.13brlcadlikely at checkin we present the card, can put the rooms all on mine
20:26.20JeffMk
20:26.39Erroneouswe need to send a copy of our itinerary to tiffany, right?
20:26.43JeffMyes
20:26.55brlcadbe sure to say bzflag

20:51.22brlcadlooks like 2/3rds of those that can attend still haven't registered

20:52.48JeffMbut if there is a fixed total amount of beer
20:52.51JeffMand less people
20:52.55JeffMmore beer per unit
20:53.24brlcadmeans we get rooms and they might not :)
20:53.26JeffMand since the beer input port is shared with the free speech output port on humans.
20:53.34JeffMthat means less speach actualy
20:53.47JeffMsince more port bandwith is allocated to beer
20:54.12JeffMI just got my room confirmation.

21:36.29JeffMwill the open sceene graph people be there?
21:36.46JeffMcus if so I'll bring a nerf bat to show them how much I love thier build system ;)
21:41.56blast007heh
21:43.48JeffMnow all we have to do is prod Erroneous into geting  a laptop with nix on it, then we can do the 2.0.10 release from the confirence :)

21:44.28JeffMyeah but that's not nearly as cool

21:47.46Tuponeno non-fee debugger ?
21:47.54JeffMhe's been trying to duplicate it
21:48.01JeffMTupone, it's windows, not really
21:48.07JeffMnot that woudl not involve lots of installs
21:48.29JeffMhe could put VC8 EE on there, download a couple gigs of stuff and then do his own build
21:48.40JeffMour releases arn't debug builds
21:48.46JeffMso just having a debuger won't help
21:48.55JeffMhe'd have to build a full debug build, with symbols
21:49.08JeffMit's a lot simpler for me to dump out state logs
21:49.10Tuponeahh, you could do one for him
21:49.24JeffMyes but it'd be useless to him
21:49.37JeffMthe debuger for VC is built INTO the ide for the compiler
21:49.45JeffMhe'd have to install it all anyway
21:49.51WinnyJeffM: from what I am guessing, the client is only recieving some of the information it is suppost to get while connecting to a server, and then it just sticks at "Trying..."

21:50.25Winnyis there a timeout built into the client for connecting to a server?
21:50.25Tuponeno way to have a backtrace without a debugger? Just line of crash maybe
21:50.26JeffMbut your crashing
21:50.31JeffMTupone, nope
21:50.37JeffMit works totaly difrent then nix
21:50.49JeffMthe only way to get "lines" is with debug symbols
21:51.02JeffMand to read that you need the full compiler/ide/debuger, etc..
21:51.07Winnyuh: http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=11513
21:51.46JeffMwhat about it Winny ?
21:52.14WinnyI don't get what he is saying, is he saying its a copy of BZFlag.org, or it forwards to bzflag.org
21:52.17JeffMI'll do what I can to build a loging version tongiht so we can at least see where it's crasching
21:52.42JeffMWinny, he purchased bzflag.biz and is offering sub domains to who ever wants them
21:53.04JeffMand for some reason he made a copy of the main site.
21:53.13Winnyohhh
21:53.31JeffMhopefully with a redirect
21:53.58JeffMor some sort of dynamic content pull, but I dunoo
21:54.05brlcadit's a cname like the .net and .com
21:54.05JeffMhis domain, he can do what he wants with it :)
21:54.22JeffMahh he pointed it to the sf site?
21:54.32brlcadhe didn't copy the site, just points to the same IP
21:54.40JeffMfair nuf
21:54.56brlcadhis "gift", one more tld in the conglomerate
21:55.09JeffMWinny, does it do it on local serves too?
21:55.14JeffMor just remote ones?
21:55.18TuponeJeffM: I remember some output form at crash with line of code where it stopped, long time ago :/ Without a debugger. Maybe a catch-all routine with possibility to print a useful line of code :/
21:55.31Tuponewith some program, not bzflag
21:55.39Tuponebut I'm not so sure
21:55.51JeffMTupone, yes there are libs and tools that apps can use to do runtime debuging, numega and the like
21:55.57JeffMwe don't use any of those
21:55.59brlcadalbeit didn't write the windows portions yet .. pita :)
21:56.09JeffMyeah it is a pita on windows
21:56.17JeffMhence why people charge lots of money for them ;)
21:56.55brlcadthe interface isn't really that complicated, just a chunk of code
21:56.56JeffMit's STILL faster for me to add log lines
21:57.01JeffMfor this one issue.
21:57.39JeffMI'd like to find it, but honestly if it was a huge issue I'd think others would be reporting it as well.
21:57.53JeffMI cant' belive that winny is the only person using the windows client.
21:59.33Tuponemaybe the only person using 2.0.10rc2 windows
21:59.41JeffMthat is what I doubt
21:59.48JeffMhe had the prolblem with RC1 as well
21:59.56JeffMand I KNOW more then him used it

22:22.20JeffMwell run that, lets see what happens.
22:22.38JeffMChiliblue, the game has no cheats built in
22:22.56JeffMtalk to the admin that banned you, there probably just mistaken, or you were very laggy
22:22.57Winnyrofl
22:23.04MacrosoftWinny: are you runnung in windowed mode?
22:23.12WinnyMacrosoft: nope
22:23.29WinnyI found a temp fix, sorta for now (just lower the brightness so it doesn't mess with gamma)
22:23.32ChiliblueI got accused of running fast movement and rapid reload, would lag cause that, I know the controls are all over the place
22:23.35delusionalchiliblue, go to another server

22:24.08awilcoxWinny: omg
22:24.09Chiliblueyes delusional I could do that, I just don't want to get banned from every where out of ignorance
22:24.13JeffMChiliblue, it coudl make it appear to be, if you had high lag or packet loss, but most likely it was just a bad admin, there are many servers, they are not reltated.
22:24.20awilcoxmy bzf rc freezes at random as well
22:24.36JeffMChiliblue, from a defualt install, there is nothign you can do that woudl be consisered cheating
22:24.44JeffMawilcox, dosnt' your COMPUTER do that?
22:24.51Chiliblueok, then I shouldn't sweat it
22:24.54awilcoxlol.  no.
22:25.06JeffMMacrosoft, that would just be your system
22:25.11Macrosoft...turning on energy saver solved the problem, but i turned that off because 25fps sucks
22:25.12awilcoxit happens on multiple computers, at random, when I'm playing
22:25.17delusionalchiliblue, its not a giant problem, no.

22:25.33a_meteoriteChiliblue: which server?
22:25.42awilcoxJeffM: your RC1 bin.
22:25.57JeffMdid you ever get set up to build on your windows machine?
22:26.13Chiliblueare there any reasons for packet loss I can sort out, or is it just a matter of a poor isp or bad choice of server for me
22:26.15Macrosoftbtw, is there a way to change what fps energy saver caps at?
22:26.25awilcoxJeffM: Yeah, I did, I forgot about it
22:26.28a_meteoriteMacrosoft: /localset fpsLimit xx
22:26.30JeffMChiliblue, generaly not on your end, it's an ISP thing
22:26.40awilcoxChiliblue: ISP, and distant servers
22:26.46awilcoxdepends on where you are located
22:26.49JeffMawilcox, can you try to build your own and see if it dupes
22:27.06Winnygod dangit, you've made it un-crashable I think.
22:27.10WinnyI can't do it :P
22:27.16JeffMmaybe building 32 bit bins on 64 bit windows is no bueno
22:27.17awilcoxHmm.
22:27.20a_meteoritedon't test the devs, Winny :P
22:27.28delusionalchiliblue,  don't download or torrent, don't share your connection,  or wire yourself directly to the router, dont use wireless
22:27.30JeffMa_meteorite, actualy yes he sould

22:27.42a_meteoriteJeffM: sarcasm... notice the :P
22:27.45JeffMI'll try a build when I get home
22:27.55JeffMmaybe it's something with this system for builds.
22:27.58awilcoxJeffM: Can I take the ZIP?
22:28.06WinnyJeffM: did you change *anything* in that build besides adding logging?
22:28.07Chilibluedelusional, ironically, I have no torrents running and am hardwired to the router

22:28.34delusionalchili, go to other servers.
22:28.37awilcoxoh, that isn't where mine is crashing
22:28.46JeffMa_meteorite, for you I don't know what to do, you need to work with brlcad, get his binary build and try that
22:28.55a_meteoritek
22:29.29JeffMhe has one, a universal and has been trying to dupe your problem but has been unable to do so
22:30.10JeffMChiliblue, what server was it?
22:30.46JeffMand did they not warn you before doing the ban?
22:31.10a_meteoriteJeffM: does he have the build posted?
22:31.24JeffMno, that's why I said "get" it from him
22:31.28JeffMtalk to him
22:31.40Chilibluedub.bzflag.org
22:31.42JeffMif it was posted, I'd have given you the URL
22:32.29JeffMChiliblue, did they warn you first?
22:32.31a_meteoriteyeah.. I don't even know who runs that, and I'm not an admin there
22:32.39WinnySomething has to be different in this EXE. Usually this happens once every ~20 joins. It hasn't happened in about 80 so far.
22:32.55JeffMwell, it coudl be that it just compiled it difrent
22:33.04JeffMthat's why I worry that it's something to do with my setup
22:33.13JeffMawilcox, can you try the zip too?
22:33.30awilcoxsmeh, I don't think I want to screw around with 2.0, you guys need anything specific with 2.2?
22:33.32JeffMI'll build a version at home tongiht on my 32 bit windows and see if that helps
22:33.36ChiliblueJeffM, they said I was cheating, I asked them what I was doing wrong...before I could work out or what I had done I was banned
22:33.37awilcoxJeffM: Ah, sure, I can try
22:33.50JeffMawilcox, actualy we need testing of 2.0.10
22:34.03awilcoxmust warn you, I have RC1, can I still use it?
22:34.05JeffMChiliblue, then it was just a jerk admin, don't worry
22:34.09JeffMawilcox, get RC2
22:34.11awilcoxokay
22:34.12WinnyJeffM: where was 2.0.9, 2.0.10rc2, etc compiled?
22:34.26JeffMRC1 and 2 were done here
22:34.32awilcoxthing is, to be honest, JeffM, it mainly just freezes on Mum's computer on the rare times she's playing
22:34.32Winnygah.
22:34.37JeffMthe older .9 ones were on my old machine here
22:34.43JeffMbefore I went to 64 bit windows
22:34.45awilcoxso I suppose I can go there
22:34.52JeffMbut I'm using the 32 bit compiler, so it "should" be the same
22:34.55JeffMbut I have doubts
22:35.05Winnyhmm, I wonder, 'cause I don't think this every happened on the p4 (on a core2duo right now)
22:35.18JeffMthats why I want to build one at home
22:35.24JeffMa nubmer of the older .9's were done at home
22:35.48JeffMthe RCs were the first one that I also built my own curl using ares.
22:36.11ChiliblueJeffM, its fine, I wasn't all that worried, just having pressed every button on the keyboard to clear the players list I wasn't 100% I hadn't done something wrong
22:36.14*** join/#bzflag AWOSDev (n=awilcox@unaffiliated/awosdev)
22:36.33AWOSDevnow JeffM, do I download just plain RC2 or the ZIP file?
22:36.39JeffMboth
22:36.42AWOSDevokay
22:36.44JeffMfirst just the rc
22:36.46JeffMtry that
22:36.51JeffMsee if it still has the same problem
22:36.59WinnyJeffM: yup, can't make this hang.
22:36.59JeffMif it does, then get the zip and replace the exe
22:37.03JeffMWinny, hmm
22:37.26JeffMwell let me check the logs, see if anything was added/changed since RC2
22:37.36AWOSDevthisun --> http://beta.bzflag.bz/builds/2.0.x/bzflag-2.0.10rc2.exe ?
22:37.41JeffMyes
22:37.59WinnyI guess Ill leave that in my BZFlag dir for now then
22:38.41JeffMthe only changes were a man page and an API spelling change.
22:38.47AWOSDevoh, btw, Mum thought this was a good game, but she cried when she accidentally TKed me.
22:39.31AWOSDevokay, this sucker is installed, I will test now
22:39.33AWOSDevwish me luck!
22:41.00a_meteoriteJeffM: Chiliblue has a dual-core machine, isn't there timing issues in bzflag with dual-core?
22:41.10a_meteoritewhere your tank can appear fast?
22:41.16JeffMpossibly
22:41.16AWOSDevokay
22:41.18AWOSDevit just froze.

22:41.23AWOSDevthat didn't take long at all.
22:41.27JeffMChiliblue, what version of bzflag do you use, on what OS?
22:41.36ChiliblueXP, and it is the latest
22:41.37AWOSDev(raw RC2 without ZIP.)
22:41.37JeffMAWOSDev, ok try the zip exe
22:41.44AWOSDevJeffM: can you link me to the ZIP, please?
22:41.49JeffMChiliblue, tell me the exact verison number
22:41.55JeffMAWOSDev, scroll up
22:41.59Chiliblue2.0.8
22:42.07AWOSDevJeffM: I just joined, that is why I am asking for it again.
22:42.15AWOSDevthis is a different machine, much easier to lock
22:42.35Chilibluebefore we go too far, I should poitn out XP is the 32bit version
22:42.35JeffMwww.opencombat.net/files/
22:42.42JeffMthen like bzbug or something
22:42.45AWOSDevokay
22:42.47AWOSDevthanks

22:42.58Chiliblueok
22:43.02JeffMand yes please use the RC2

22:46.51AWOSDevOkay, JeffM, I locked it
22:46.55AWOSDevwith the ZIP
22:47.03JeffMok
22:47.08JeffMthat was just a longshot guess anyway
22:47.20JeffMis there any other common software on those machines?
22:47.21AWOSDevthe question is, what do I do now?
22:47.26AWOSDevJeffM: Windows.
22:47.37JeffMhah hah
22:47.38AWOSDevhmm, 2.0.8 is installed on both
22:47.43JeffMdoes that lock too?
22:47.51AWOSDevthat one locks on both
22:47.54JeffMahh
22:48.04AWOSDevI've been unsuccessful to get 2.0.10 to lock on my laptop though
22:48.06JeffMthen it's nothing new
22:48.29AWOSDevno, but the strange thing (that may make it hardware) is the fact that it didn't _used_ to lock on my laptop
22:48.43AWOSDevand actually, I don't remember if 2.0.8 locks on this or not, I guess I'd better go test
22:48.52JeffMthat would be a good test
22:49.12WinnyAWOSDev: does the new exe that jeff made lock on your moms comp
22:49.13Winny?*
22:49.22AWOSDevWinny: yes
22:49.35AWOSDevthis is my mums computer and yes it locked
22:49.47Winnyhm
22:49.51JeffMok, then I'm sorry, we know .8 works on MANY computers
22:49.59JeffMit must be something on those systems
22:50.15JeffMperhaps drivers?
22:50.21JeffMhave you updated them recently?
22:50.28JeffMinstalled any common utilities?
22:50.36JeffMgot any new software udpates?
22:50.49AWOSDev2.0.8 just locked
22:51.14AWOSDevno, this (mums) machine is Windows 98SE, and my machine is a Windows XP laptop
22:51.20AWOSDevthere is nothing common about them
22:51.21WinnyJeffM: wow
22:51.30WinnyI fired up 2.0.9, FIRST try it locked
22:51.41JeffMI think I can get a client exe to build on the laptop
22:51.43JeffMwith out the loging
22:51.46JeffMso we can try that
22:52.11AWOSDevJeffM: they have no common hardware, aside for possibly the ICH
22:52.18JeffMthe what?
22:52.27AWOSDevI/O Controller Hub, the 82810
22:52.51JeffMthey both using 810 onboard video?
22:52.53AWOSDevwhat makes an i810 mobo an i810 mobo, the laptop is a P4 but I believe it has a similar one (possibly an i815)
22:53.06AWOSDevJeffM: No, the laptop has a sucky RADEON 7K
22:53.10AWOSDevthis is an 810 onboard
22:53.12JeffMdunno then man
22:53.24JeffMbut you've proven it's not something to do with this new release
22:53.26AWOSDevI suppose I can get rdb going and use the EXE I built
22:53.35WinnyJeffM: I tried 2.0.8, and .9, they both locked up within 5 tries.
22:53.37JeffMand i have to spend the time to track down the new things, not old systems that have never worked
22:53.39JeffMWinny, ok
22:53.46JeffMwell that's geting us somewhere
22:53.48WinnyIIRC, it was 2.0.9s7
22:53.50JeffMlet me make a new build
22:53.58Winnyerr, s9
22:54.15JeffMhmm, that's old
22:54.22JeffMbut that may have been on this machine
22:54.27JeffMlet me make one for you now
22:54.41Winnywhere did you compile the EXE in the zip file?
22:54.50JeffMon this machine
22:54.55JeffMsame place as RC2
22:54.59Winnyweird
22:55.02JeffMindeed'
22:55.08JeffMthat's why I'm trying another machine
22:55.21JeffMcus now I question this setup ( 32bit builds on a 64bit OS)
22:55.28JeffMmaybe one of the system libs is difrent
22:55.49JeffMand maybe just adding asome code aroudnt he problem area simply moved the issue elsewhere
22:55.54ChiliblueJeffM rc2 made it a bit better
22:56.12JeffMChiliblue, cool
22:56.13Chilibluecertainly stopped the whizzing around thing
22:56.22Chilibluethanks for your help
22:56.29JeffMyeah dual cores can have wiered timinng issues
22:56.38JeffMthe other option is to set the game to use a single core
22:56.43Chilibluefigures
22:56.54JeffMbut that's why we put the code in there
22:57.00Winnyjust got 2.0.9s9 to hang on the 4th try again

22:57.17awilcox(just asking) If I take the time to do remote debugging, and find a bug that only occurs on two archaic machines, will you devs even care?
22:57.18JeffMno need to do any more till this is done
22:57.19ChiliblueI think I just need to fine tune the settings now and get used to it,
22:57.32JeffMawilcox, depends on what the bug is
22:57.35JeffMif it's a good geneal fix, yes
22:57.43JeffMif the fix is a hack, for 2 machines, no
22:57.50awilcoxheh, okay.
22:58.18JeffMif it's a hack for a signifigant number of machines, maybe
22:58.25Winnyhmm, I probably should install a build environment on here... bleh.

22:58.59Winnyawilcox: I went with VC last time
22:59.15WinnyI just... uh, reformatting 4 times and got a new computer, so I kind of need to do it again
22:59.17JeffMyeah doing your own debug build coudl be intersting
22:59.24awilcoxew, then you have to d/l the Platform SDK, or Windows Base Servies SDK, or whatever the 7734 they call it now
22:59.32JeffMbut actualy I'd like it if you didn't do that just yet
22:59.44JeffMwait untill we try this other exe I'm making now.
23:00.08awilcoxJeffM: I'm thinking, there is one thing common with these machines
23:00.09Winnyk
23:00.17awilcoxthey are both running some form of the Gecko engine when it freezes
23:00.18JeffMawilcox, virus stuff?
23:00.22JeffMwhat is that?
23:00.34awilcoxthis laptop is running Firefox, and the desktop is running Netscape 7
23:00.43awilcoxJeffM: the Mozilla HTML engine
23:00.47Erroneousmingw+msys is supported, yes.  you will need either the directx sdk, or sdl and take a 10-15% performance hit
23:00.50JeffMI'm sure you must have other common utils
23:01.03JeffMand no rumble in the trunk
23:01.03WinnyI am as well running FF
23:01.14awilcoxno, this laptop has no anti-virus (I don't use it that much)
23:01.40JeffMok, so your ramant virus infections are causing your issue there, that's easy to write off ;)
23:01.46JeffMrampant even
23:01.49Erroneousheh
23:01.50awilcoxokay, yes, they both have QuickTime and Chessmaster installed
23:02.03JeffMtime to start narowing it down ;)

23:08.35JeffMthat, is not good

23:09.30Winnyjust did it a 2nd time, 5th try this time
23:09.40JeffMbut like I said, I need to work on the NEW bugs, not old ones.
23:10.01Erroneousawilcox: turn off sound, see if you can still dupe it
23:10.03JeffMWinny, ok, I'm going to look at the code and try some stuff, will you be around to test things if need be?
23:10.11Winnyshould be here for an hour or so
23:10.12awilcoxErroneous: mmkay
23:10.15JeffMk
23:11.21JeffMWinny, does it crash on a local server?
23:11.24JeffMor just network ones?
23:11.38Winnyit only crashes while connecting to american servers. Not european servers
23:11.50JeffMand you are in europe?
23:11.52Winnysince american servers are the only place I have loss (12% - UDP)
23:12.17Winnyno, thats the queer thing, I live in ottawa, canada, and I lag less at a server in germany then I do a server in montreal (2 hours away)
23:12.38Winnybut thats a whole other bag of worms :p
23:13.45AWOSDevInteresting.
23:14.04AWOSDevErroneous: I couldn't figure out how to turn sound off, but um, there are no tanks at the server I was testing on and now all of a sudden I can't make it freeze
23:14.21AWOSDevand I remember when I was trying to make it freeze the last time I couldn't, and I was playing alone on the BZOlympic map
23:14.29macsformeAWOSDev: turn sound volume down to zero in audio preferences
23:14.31Erroneousthe first notch on the volume slider is sound off
23:14.45AWOSDevahh, I thought that was only volume control
23:14.52AWOSDevdidn't realise it would turn off, thanks to both of you
23:14.56Erroneousall our audio routines do an early bailout if volume is 0
23:15.20AWOSDevanyways, is that strange that it only happens when there is more than just me?  I will test on a more full server to see if this is true
23:15.53WinnyJeffM: the amount of times it crashes seems to be directly corresponding to my UDP packetloss... (about 1/4-8 times) or 25-12.5% (average loss)
23:16.28JeffMI'm guessing that you ALSO have TCP packet loss too
23:16.45JeffMand we don't give the OS enough time to do resends
23:17.04JeffMbut at least I now know it's in one of 2 functions
23:17.19JeffMso maybe we can put a little sleep or a wait there and see what gos

23:26.47JeffMmaybe
23:26.51JeffMbe a good thing to check :)
23:27.02Tuponeahh you build with one not in the tree?
23:27.05ErroneousCVS from April in trunk iirc.
23:27.12JeffMno I bult from what we have in our tree
23:27.15JeffMour curl, our ares
23:27.23WinnyJeffM: it hung on the 6th try
23:27.36JeffMWinny, did you add the line to your config?
23:27.37Erroneousso 1.3.3 or some such
23:27.39Tuponecurl is not in the tree (branch)
23:27.48JeffMTupone, I built my own curl from the one in trunk
23:27.52Erroneoushe probably built curl on trunk
23:27.56JeffMsince you know I had the code there ;)
23:28.03TuponeI wonder what bzflag uses on windows
23:28.11JeffMfor what?
23:28.15Erroneoussince I fixed all the vc projects there, so he actually could without great pain and suffering
23:28.15JeffMares?
23:28.17Tuponeit's own or system one (ares)
23:28.29JeffMinside curl? or inside BZ?
23:28.32Erroneousbzflag is self-contained on windows
23:28.35WinnyJeffM: yes
23:28.36Tuponeinside BZ
23:28.46Erroneoususes its own curl, and its own ares.  and its curl uses its ares also.
23:28.47JeffMwe build ares for bz to use on windows
23:28.48JeffMin branch
23:28.55JeffMbranch uses an external curl
23:29.12JeffMfor this round I built my own curl that also used ares ( the one from trunk)
23:29.22JeffMand used the trunk one in branch for curl.
23:29.30Tuponeso ares in the bztree (branch) could be the one used
23:29.32Erroneousbranch's internal ares is 1.2.1
23:29.34Erroneousso old
23:29.40Erroneous3 years or so
23:29.41JeffMthat is waht BZ uses
23:29.45Erroneousyeah
23:29.53JeffMperhaps it needs updating
23:29.59Erroneousprobably should be updated
23:30.05JeffMcould that be the issue?
23:30.09Tuponeso maybe is time to update it? That problem smell c-ares
23:30.31JeffMwell how hard will it be to update?
23:30.42WinnyI switched back to the logging EXE, and it doesn't hang. :E
23:30.50JeffMhmmm
23:30.54ErroneousMacrosoft: so...gonna answer my question, or do you just like saying random stuff is broken without providing any additional information?
23:30.56TuponeI cannot say, as I don't use. Maybe just a copy of the trunk ?
23:30.56JeffMthat is totaly bizare
23:30.58brlcadhead has updated curl and cares iirc, branch still uses an older (*think*)
23:31.31JeffMErroneous, he wont' answer, he just shies away when people ask him about his comments, cus I think he thinks we'll frorget that he's anoying.
23:31.39Winnysuppose Ill just use that exe for now
23:31.52ErroneousJeffM: meh, never hurts to try
23:32.14JeffMok, well, should I make my own little tree here that uses the ares from trunk and see if that helps?
23:32.26JeffMTupone or Erroneous can you verify that trunk has a good ares?
23:32.36Erroneousgood?  no, can't verify that :)
23:32.42Erroneouswfm though
23:32.42JeffMwell newish?
23:32.45Erroneousapril
23:32.50JeffMof this year?
23:32.53Erroneousyeah
23:32.56Erroneouscvs, not release
23:33.03JeffMwell it can't hurt to try it I guess
23:33.42JeffMgetting a new tree
23:34.12TuponeApril 16 2007 c-ares is
23:34.23JeffMand that's a better one you think right?
23:34.34WinnyJeffM: the logging version just crashed... Ill see what it says
23:34.34Erroneous1.3 fixed a number of windows issues iirc
23:34.39TuponeI remember issue fixed for windows
23:34.47JeffMthen good enough reason to try it :)
23:34.48Erroneousincluding some pretty major ones
23:35.02JeffMI'll try a build with the one from trunk and we can have him test it
23:35.08WinnyJeffM: it just gets to "START joinInternetGame"
23:35.11JeffMif that's better we can backport the update

23:35.22JeffMwell that's something
23:35.24TuponeI have to sleep, cu
23:35.29JeffMhave a good night Tupone
23:35.29Erroneous'night
23:35.38JeffMWinny, I'm going to try something
23:35.47JeffMupdate the lib we do DNS lookups with
23:35.53JeffMcus thats one thing we do right then :)
23:36.02JeffMand is totaly UDP
23:36.22Winnywriting to a file shouldn't effect DNS?
23:36.33JeffMwriting a file takes time
23:36.54JeffMso it gives more time for the OS to process networkness
23:37.16Winnyah
23:39.32Erroneousheh, that's the fix I was thinking of: "1.3.0 [...] * Alfredo Tupone provided a fix for the Windows code in get_iphlpapi_dns_info() when getting the DNS server etc."
23:40.51WinnyJeffM: as the number of players on the server increases, the numbers of hangs increases too
23:51.16AWOSDevWinny: :o  The number of players increasing causes my number of locks to rise, too
23:51.34AWOSDevCould it be (unlikely but possible) that our bugs are related?
23:51.36WinnyAWOSDev: but this occurs before the join even happens.
23:51.45AWOSDevWinny: I know...but still
23:52.55WinnyThanks for the help, JeffM
23:54.43Winnybrb.
