01:19.30donny_baker:D I have a new dell laptop, i love it
01:19.39JeffMand if I can get somone to buy my current lapy for 400ish, then I'll be golden :)
01:19.46spldartLOL
01:19.48bryjencoo-pins
01:19.55spldartI would be in the market... a few months ago
01:20.00spldartthanks ron white
01:20.06donny_bakerwhat is your current lappy?
01:20.11spldart;-P
01:20.36JeffMended up geting a 2.2 gig core 2, 120 gig drive, GeFroce 8600(256) with the high res display, and 2 9 cell bateries freo 955$
01:20.46JeffMmy current laptop is a gateway 15 incher
01:20.59donny_bakerD830?
01:21.00JeffMAMD TL 50, gig of ram, 120 gig drive
01:21.13JeffMATI X1150 chipset with 128 megs of ram
01:21.28JeffMand a DVD burner
01:21.41spldartPoop... I woulda snapped that up a few months ago
01:22.21JeffMI'm taking the 2 gigs of ram out of the gateway and puting it in the dell when it gets here, so the gateway will have a gig of new ram
01:22.43JeffMand Vista home permium
01:23.22spldartYou happy with the vista variable?
01:23.23JeffMit's a gateway MT6451
01:23.35JeffMoh god no, I replaced it with XP the moment I got it
01:23.47JeffMthankfully the new dell comes with XP
01:23.56spldartAh.. IC
01:24.19JeffMbut I'll put the OEM vista back on the old one before I sell it
01:24.38JeffMsince it's tied to the hardware
01:24.57JeffMI figure 400$ is a decent price for a machine that's been used for 6 months
01:25.05JeffMgot it for 699$
01:25.22spldartit's a good price.. don't haggle down for nobody
01:25.59spldartI wish I had the 4C laying around still... You wouldn't even have to reinstall vista ;)
01:27.20donny_bakerthat is a pretty nice machine for $400.. even being a Gateway :P
01:27.31JeffMit's run fine for me
01:27.37JeffMI just need more screen res

01:28.17spldartsafe trip
01:41.14Blue89do you guys know anything about getting mesaGL to run faster? I want to play BZFlag on my Zaurus but I'm only getting <10fps...
01:43.58spldartUmmm
01:45.06spldartThat's not alot of power to run 3d
01:45.31spldartbut sry.. No idea to get mesaGL optimized from me :(
01:45.43Blue89well I'm not expecting it to run 1280x960 with full lighting and bump mapping ;-)
01:46.15*** join/#bzflag The_Vaxorcist (n=phillip@dial-209-148-97-79.sonic.net)
01:46.30spldartDidn't think you were... was thinking along the line of 640 or 800
01:46.42Blue89I'm running bzflag at 320x240 with all options off. if I knew how to get it into wireframe mode I think I could get 20fps out of it.
01:46.52spldartahrm
01:47.11spldartdoes that run X?
01:47.15Blue89that's not very fast, but great for killing time. bzflag in your pocket ;-)
01:47.18Blue89yes it does
01:47.18spldartcolor depth?
01:47.38Blue89640x480 device, but I am stepping it down to 320x240 so BZFlag can run faster
01:47.51Blue89full color, 24bit I think
01:47.56Blue89same as the desktop
01:48.08Blue89IIRC
01:48.15spldarthrm
01:49.01spldartDont' know where your bottleneck is worst but have you tried dropping colordepth... just outta curiousity... Thinking mesa optimization ideas still
01:49.47Blue89it's an xscale device, I can step it up from 416mhz to 624mhz, but then it starts acting strange
01:50.13Blue89X crashes, no programs load, sockets die I think
01:50.21spldartright
01:50.59spldartit's alittle alien to me so I wont be the most helpful... but hopefully the conversation will get others interested in throwing in their 2 bits
01:51.10Blue89yeah
01:51.21Blue89the #zaurus people are no help
01:51.56spldartHrm.. Where have I heard that problem before recently... Oh Yeah! Nvidia :mad:
01:52.04spldartheh
01:52.16Blue89I begged for answers to my wifi issues occasionally over 6 months and got maybe 2 responses from people who didn't know how ot fix it
01:53.06spldartNeat boxen though dude :)
01:53.19Blue89very
01:53.25Blue89I have the SL-C3200 model
01:53.35Blue89last in the series :-/
01:53.46spldartfigured
01:54.02spldartthey are changing to windoze right?
01:54.25Blue89they _used_ to run windows CE I beleive
01:54.50Blue89I think there was a rumor before that the next smartphone released by sharp would be CE also
01:55.28Blue89I thin the problem with Mesa is that it uses floating point math
01:55.45Blue89(which is incredibly slow on this device)
01:56.04spldartUnconfirmed is Windows Mobile 5.0 for future models
01:56.47Blue89Mesa accepts plugins for gfx card drivers, doesn't it?
01:57.25Blue89maybe one of these days I can hack a tiny raycast engine into a "driver" and use that on my Zaurus
01:59.15Blue89if I could just hack mesa into using integers only I bet it would get at least 15fps
01:59.49spldartback.. sry phone
02:00.26spldartAh.. Your getting past my tinkering with openGL and getting to little to be just enough :)
02:00.45spldartdo you have any accell?

02:09.48Blue89the device isn't THAT slow, I am surprised bzflag doesn't work well
02:10.04Blue89I can play doom on it in 320x240 at 30-40 fps
02:11.39rob1n320x240? what is this? the 1980's?
02:12.05rob1nor by "device" do you not mean computer? :\
02:12.27Blue89true, it's puny, but it's detailed enough to be interesting, and small enough to render on a 416mhz device
02:14.15spldartDoom is WAY less demanding than bzflag... surprisingly

03:20.00Blue89prboom
03:20.03blast007ah, a Zaurus
03:20.08Blue89I guess that would be the original doom
03:20.23Blue89I play freedoom on it
03:20.43blast007yeah, that would be the original doom
03:20.58blast007I mean, heck, I can run Doom on my Sansa media player  ;)
03:21.17blast007and that's just a 100MHz dual processor/core chip thingy
03:27.57rob1nyou can play doom on an ipod too
03:28.01rob1nhttp://ipodlinux.org/Doom
03:36.15blast007rob1n: Rockbox supports iPods as well, so that would enable running Doom as well

18:13.01Blue89is it possible to build a bzflag map that has bump-mapped surfaces? (so, the brick walls would have little bricks sticking out, etc.)
18:13.20JeffMnope
18:13.25JeffMwe only do basic texturing
18:14.40Blue89oh well. that would look cool, but it is still fun without. :-)

19:09.16peter_bzha, and the number of maps is 290
19:09.23Winny..yeah?
19:09.30Winnyits no secrect we have far too many servers
19:10.25*** part/#bzflag peter_bz (n=peter@cpc1-derb1-0-0-cust235.lei3.cable.ntl.com)
19:14.33CBGIn theory, 10 servers could easily host 159 (even 200) players, but if there were only 10 servers, chances are you would only like 1. Would you play bz nearly as much? Wha about everyone else? You think there would still be 159 active players? I doubt it.
19:16.00WinnyIMO, we could probably get rid of 100 servers, and replace them with rotatations, or something.
19:16.50CBG_Right, rotations would work differently.
19:18.20whodaman-MapChange would be really good for the smaller places that don't get played very much
19:25.45Blue89I don't see why you need to register anyway, but I did back when I couldn't get on viper2 without it
