01:58.46F687sIs it remotely possible to use two config files for a bzfs server? (like, one for common and one for map-specific)
01:59.57Constitutionyep
02:00.05Constitutionjust specify multiple -conf flags
02:00.19F687sUsually when I try that it uses one and ignores the other.
02:00.40Constitutionit shouldn't
02:01.14F687sYah, I'll have to look into that.
02:09.12spldartmy experience has been use first ignore second
02:09.26spldartbut haven't tried in quite a while

02:53.14Quolapparently, if your linux box has not been rebooted in 300 days, a file system check is performed which takes about 20 minutes :) - I thought my server was dead there for a bit
03:10.04short_circuitwhats the process name?
03:10.11BulletCatcherF687s: A configuration file can contain -conf lines that reference other files.  You should be able to nest them as much as you want.
03:16.43*** join/#bzflag QuantumBeep (i=QB@cpe-72-190-32-30.tx.res.rr.com)
03:17.35BulletCatcherQuol: A command like "dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda1 | grep -i check" will tell you when the next automatic check is scheduled for an ext2 or ext3 file system.
03:18.23QuolBulletCatcher, ya - I know...I just forgot about it, and since it was a year ago that I rebooted that darn box, I was worried that after 20 min it was dead :) - but thanks for the reminder
03:18.46Quolhard to do that command after you initiate the shutdown -r now :)
03:19.16BulletCatcher:-)  The same thing happened to me recently, but at least I could see the console so I knew what it was doing.
03:20.13Quollol - ya, I wish my console over IP redirection was working - but that broke a little while back - don't know why...the silly java IPMI thingy isn't working anymore :(
03:21.27BulletCatcherYou can change the check interval using the tune2fs command if you want, but if you only reboot once every 10 months then you are probably doomed to be surprised by it every time. :-)
03:21.42Quolanyone here use gentoo? if so - anyone ever tried upgrading from a 2006.0 profile to a 2008.0 profile directly (without going to a 2007 profile that is)?
03:22.22Quollol BulletCatcher  - ya, probably, I think I will set a shutdown message reminding me of that :)

04:09.10blast007hmm, I wonder...
04:09.45blast007make one config called 'one.conf' that contains -conf two.conf, and another config called 'two.conf' that contains -conf one.conf   :P
04:10.03blast007quick, someone try it!  ;)

17:16.41jftsanghello
17:16.41ibothi, jftsang
17:16.59jftsangwhat is the package for curses on Linux that I need for BZFlag?
17:18.42JeffMthe dev one
17:18.45JeffMif you are building
17:19.05jftsangwhat's the name?
17:19.14JeffMdepends on the distro
17:19.19JeffMwhat choices do you have?
17:19.31jftsangit doesn't present me with any choices
17:19.43JeffMwhat disro are you using?
17:20.03jftsangUbuntu Hardy Herron
17:20.15JeffMrun synaptic and search for curses
17:20.23JeffMit will show you the ones that are available
17:21.12jftsangthere are a few libcurses-*-dev, so I install one of them?
17:21.25Think_Differentli would install the latest libcurses-dev
17:21.34JeffMyeah is the * just a number?
17:22.11jftsangnot necessarily
17:22.35JeffMgive us an example
17:22.40JeffMwe can't read your screen
17:23.03Think_DifferentlI think you want libncurses5 and libncurses5-dev
17:23.11JeffMprobably
17:23.26JeffMbest to just pick the largest number, as I don't think they have changed anythign major
17:23.29jftsangok
17:23.53jftsangexcept that I already have the packages that Think_Differentl named
17:24.11JeffMwhat is the error you get?
17:24.41jftsangBZFlag-2.0.11.20080517 with the following:
17:24.41jftsang<PROTECTED>
17:24.41jftsang<PROTECTED>
17:24.41jftsang<PROTECTED>
17:24.41jftsang<PROTECTED>
17:25.03jftsanglast few lines of the output from configure
17:25.05Think_Differentlbuilds fine for me with libncurses5 & -dev
17:25.12JeffMyou probably are missing other things
17:25.17JeffMis this a new install?
17:25.22jftsangnew build, yes
17:25.32JeffMdid you install the C++ compiler?
17:26.05jftsangI have automake, autoconf, autotools, libSDL and libcURL
17:26.09JeffMdid you install the C++ compiler?
17:26.32jftsangI didn't install it; gcc was with the distro
17:26.35Think_Differentlyou need g++
17:26.42JeffMgcc is not the C++ compiler
17:26.46JeffMit is the C compiler
17:26.54JeffMyes you need g++
17:26.58jftsangok
17:29.21jftsangwell, configure worked fine
17:30.00JeffMhelps when it can compile the samples it uses to test :)
17:30.12JeffMall the basic distro tools are C not C++
17:30.20jftsangah ok
17:30.20JeffMso they only include gcc not g++
17:30.59jftsangand as for plugins, do I just ./configure and make, unless otherwise stated?
17:31.13JeffMwhat version of BZ?
17:31.38jftsang2.0.11
17:31.41jftsangbranch
17:32.00JeffMdid you configigure with --enable_plugins and --enable_shared ?
17:32.13jftsang*sigh, reconfigures*
17:32.25TD-Linuxalso don't forget opengl headers
17:32.30JeffMthen it'll build all the plugins automaticly
17:38.27jftsangum, is there a package for OpenGL?
17:38.54TD-Linuxprobably something like libmesa
17:39.18JeffMdid configure tell you that GL was not found?
17:39.28JeffMor did it say bzflag client?
17:39.36jftsangit said bzflag client
17:39.43JeffMthen you have the gl headers
17:39.47JeffMand are good to go
17:39.59JeffMthey probalby got put in with SDL since it uses them too
17:42.19jftsangonce the plugins are built, where are they found? the src is in /usr/local/src/bzflag
17:45.05JeffMdid you do a make install?
17:46.57jftsangwell, I shall
17:48.24JeffMthat should copy them to some lib dir
17:48.33JeffMif not they are in hiden .lib dirs in each plugin IIRC
17:48.46JeffMgoes to do his patriotic duty and blow 600$ of "stimuls"

19:14.20KTLthose flag resets. the idea is that the flags would get more evenly distributed right?
19:14.33KTLi was thinking about a self organizing map
19:14.51KTLthose flags could move all the time by themselves
19:15.32KTLevery so many seconds they could move so many units away, towards a more even distribution over the map
19:16.29Constitutionwhich flag resets are you talking about?
19:16.41Constitutionunless they're specified in zones, flags are supposed to spawn randomly
19:16.57KTLplayers asking for flag resets because they get the impression their current place is not right

20:02.10BulletCatcherFor KTL's situation it shouldn't be too hard to invent a limit to the time non-zoned flags will stay at rest.  When the time (perhaps slightly randomized) expires, a flag would simply fly and be repositioned the usual way.  I suspect that a patch to implement this would be welcome.
20:04.03BulletCatcherSet a really short timeout and the game could be "catch the flag". :-)

22:57.18Vizaso apparently someone loaded a new map with broken teleporters
23:24.06Dr_Spacemanhas failed in his patriotic duty :(
23:25.03Winnyyou voted for bush?
23:25.11Winnybooo...
23:28.39Dr_SpacemanI was unable to spend my 600$ like they wanted
23:28.50Dr_Spacemanall I was able to do was blow 19.99$
23:28.53Winnyhehe
23:28.58L4m3rsend the rest to me
23:29.00Winnyyou could send the rest to me
23:29.03Winnybah L4m3r
23:29.06L4m3rit will stimulate my economy :)
23:29.26Dr_SpacemanWinny: sending it out of country is not the point
23:29.28L4m3rWinny: our dollars are worthless to you anyway :P
23:29.36Winnythis is true :P
23:30.32L4m3rDr_Spaceman: yeah, that's too bad, since a significant portion of people are probably just going to smoke that check :P
23:30.45L4m3rand guess where that money goes?
23:30.50Dr_Spacemansadly
23:31.00Dr_Spacemanthe us federal government
23:31.18L4m3rer, no, Mexico, generally
23:31.30L4m3r(I'm not talking about literally smoking the check...)
23:31.42Dr_SpacemanI know what you mean
23:31.58Dr_Spacemanand like you belive that the drug rings arn't fronts for the CIA.. pshh
23:32.03L4m3rbut yeah, the whole thing is kind of dumb
23:32.19L4m3rpeople aren't just going to go out and spend when the economy is down
23:32.30L4m3rthey're just going to pay off some credit card debt or save it
23:32.42Dr_Spacemanhumans are supid
23:32.46Dr_Spacemanmost can't manage debt
23:32.52Dr_SpacemanI'll bet a lot gets spent
23:33.27ConstitutionI should probably apply mine to my 40-year mortgage from when I bought my MacBook Pro
23:33.43Dr_Spacemanheh
23:33.49Dr_Spacemanthats' one week right?
23:34.08Constitutionhm? :)
23:34.24Dr_Spacemanmy goal is to get a Core 2 quad 9700 to replace this old 6000+
23:34.54Dr_Spacemansorry 6700
23:34.59Dr_Spacemanstupid numbers
23:37.20Metstax refunds I gather?
23:37.28Metserr rebates
23:37.32Dr_Spacemanstimuli
23:37.47Metswell better than the alternative
23:46.39L4m3rI'm still claimed as a dependent, so I don't get anything :(
23:46.46*** part/#bzflag Viza (i=viza@nylug/member/Viza)
23:48.05Metsyou can get something even ad a dependent, just depends on if you file your own tax return or not
23:48.18Mets*even if your
23:51.27think_tankMets, wrong
23:51.43think_tankif someone else can claim u on their return, you are NOT eligible for a stimulus payment
23:51.52think_tankregardless of if u file ur own return or not
23:52.11think_tankthe mere ability for another person being able to claim you as a dependent automatically disqualifies you
23:55.07Dr_Spacemanhis parents get more on there for him
23:56.34think_tankyes
23:56.40think_tank*if* they claim him
23:56.51think_tankwhich logically one would...
23:57.08Dr_Spacemanif they don't then he's not a dependent, and is elegible for his own ;)
23:57.16think_tanknope
23:57.32think_tankif they don't claim him, that does not change his dependency status. and we should probably move this to #bzchat ;)
