| 02:22.28 | scanline | captain_proton: the teleporters in super monkey ball are cool.. they show the area they teleport to, but darkened, blurred, and with some water ripples |
| 02:22.34 | scanline | hi eks |
| 02:22.38 | file | yeah |
| 02:22.42 | file | all my family is there |
| 02:22.53 | captain_proton | scanline: =) |
| 02:23.25 | captain_proton | scanline: you need to steal that GC for a week so i can try it ;-) |
| 02:24.43 | captain_proton | use the 'market research' excuse |
| 02:26.39 | scanline | hmm.. looks like a cube and some controllers and games can be had for around $150 |
| 02:26.45 | KeyserSoze | anyone installed apps from SGI's freeware site or CDs? |
| 02:26.47 | scanline | more expensive than my dreamcast :) |
| 02:27.04 | captain_proton | KeyserSoze: i installed gcc 2.8.1 off the freeware CD |
| 02:28.04 | KeyserSoze | captain_proton: do you know how to make the installer automatically resolce dependancies? i tried to get the latest xchat, and it told me i cannot install it, because i need like 30 things installed first, but it doesn't offer to just download the damn stuff and install it. |
| 02:28.12 | KeyserSoze | s/resolce/resolve |
| 02:28.50 | captain_proton | KeyserSoze: it can't automatically resolve - but the 'conflicts' option in inst will give you options about how to resolve them |
| 02:29.34 | scanline | captain_proton: hmm.. my friend Ben has a broken game cube, maybe I could get it off him free and fix it :) |
| 02:30.01 | captain_proton | heh |
| 02:30.12 | scanline | from his description it sounds like a loose cable in the cd-rom head |
| 02:30.47 | KeyserSoze | yes, the first option is "don't install anything", the 2nd is "point me to where these 30 things are". so i'm gonna have to download all the tardists needed by hand, and one by one point it at them. it'll suck |
| 02:31.21 | captain_proton | KeyserSoze: have you read the packages from both freeware cds? |
| 02:32.19 | captain_proton | scanline: heh, take a look at this morsel: |
| 02:32.30 | captain_proton | <PROTECTED> |
| 02:32.30 | captain_proton | <PROTECTED> |
| 02:32.30 | captain_proton | <PROTECTED> |
| 02:32.30 | captain_proton | <PROTECTED> |
| 02:32.30 | captain_proton | <PROTECTED> |
| 02:32.34 | KeyserSoze | yes. but xchat crashes, so i want to get the latest. so i downloaded fw_xchatXXX.tardist, and tried to install it. it said i have to install a whole bunch of crap first, which i assume means all the other stuff needs to be updated. |
| 02:32.56 | scanline | captain_proton: that's useful... from bzflag? |
| 02:33.01 | captain_proton | KeyserSoze: its probably faster to download isos of the newest freeware cds and burn them |
| 02:33.03 | captain_proton | scanline: yep |
| 02:33.18 | scanline | captain_proton: I guess the metrowerks compiler needs extra whitespace :) |
| 02:36.35 | captain_proton | KeyserSoze: inst isn't really happy using individual tardists :P |
| 02:40.40 | KeyserSoze | inst sucks. |

| 03:19.38 | scanline | cool |
| 03:19.55 | scanline | I'm starting to want a gamecube... apparently Ben still has that broken one, maybe I could get it off him and fix it |

| 03:20.43 | gonkulator | I am getting the urge to install linux on plasma... |
| 03:29.53 | captain_proton | ew, pepsi |
| 03:30.34 | scanline | hmm |
| 03:30.47 | scanline | captain_proton: there are a few important things SDL is missing that pgserver's OS layer needs |
| 03:30.55 | captain_proton | scanline: such as? |
| 03:30.56 | scanline | most notably directory scanning |
| 03:30.58 | captain_proton | ah |
| 03:31.02 | captain_proton | thats simple 'nuff |
| 03:31.15 | scanline | it may be, but it can't be done using just SDL |
| 03:31.38 | captain_proton | true |
| 03:31.39 | scanline | also shared memory |
| 03:31.50 | scanline | jetstream doesn't need the SHM support, but the font loading uses the directory scanning code |
| 03:32.16 | captain_proton | well directory scanning should be portable to IRIX - it is POSIX after all |
| 03:32.36 | scanline | yeah, but there's a separate OS module for POSIX |
| 03:35.52 | KeyserSoze | captain_proton: are the freeware cds available for download as ISOs? |
| 03:36.00 | captain_proton | KeyserSoze: should be |
| 03:36.37 | gonkulator | KeyserSoze: did you get a copy of IRIX 6.5? |
| 03:36.53 | KeyserSoze | gonkulator: yes. it came with freeware from 2000, i think |
| 03:37.12 | gonkulator | KeyserSoze: nifty |
| 03:37.16 | KeyserSoze | yes, august of 2000 |
| 03:37.33 | file[bed] | gonkulator: dcd ti |
| 03:37.54 | KeyserSoze | ooh. i just found the Inst Selection files. there is one for gnome. it wgets all the components, and insts them. |
| 03:39.14 | captain_proton | what version of irix? |
| 03:39.24 | KeyserSoze | i have 6.5. |
| 03:39.41 | captain_proton | 6.5.what |
| 03:40.22 | KeyserSoze | s/what/9 |
| 03:40.36 | gonkulator | don't you want 6.5.15? |
| 03:40.47 | gonkulator | or is 6.5.9 the latest |
| 03:41.01 | KeyserSoze | i don't know what the latest is. i know i have 6.5.9 |
| 03:41.20 | gonkulator | oh, ok |
| 03:41.23 | gonkulator | well, I am going to bed now |
| 03:41.32 | file[bed] | just like me |
| 03:42.26 | captain_proton | 6.5.18 is the latest iirc |
| 03:42.29 | captain_proton | but it doesn't really matter |
| 03:42.35 | KeyserSoze | good |
| 03:42.57 | KeyserSoze | captain_proton: do you know where the freeware ISOs are? i can't seem to locate them. |
| 03:43.25 | gonkulator | KeyserSoze: did you pray to google? |
| 03:44.17 | KeyserSoze | gonkulator: no. i looked on freeware.sgi.com |
| 03:44.20 | gonkulator | captain_proton: why doesn't the 6.5.whatever matter? |
| 03:45.16 | captain_proton | gonkulator: because irix will always work |
| 03:45.29 | captain_proton | and the latest versions don't really matter outside of a security context |
| 03:46.15 | gonkulator | but that was a funky hardware problem |

| 22:42.47 | gonkulator | :) |
| 22:42.48 | merlin{server} | ouch! |
| 22:43.29 | merlin{server} | yay! |
| 22:43.38 | evil_proton | gonkulator: what is the best way to make someone who is happy grumpy |
| 22:43.49 | evil_proton | as in so grumpy he wants to write a tragic story |
| 22:43.59 | gonkulator | evil_proton: depends on who and why they are grumpy |
| 22:44.14 | evil_proton | well the problem is right now they are happy |
| 22:44.28 | scanline | morning folks |
| 22:44.32 | evil_proton | and therefore unable to write |
| 22:44.33 | gonkulator | morning scanline |
| 22:45.31 | gonkulator | evil_proton: fire them and hire me :) |
| 22:46.00 | gonkulator | evil_proton: that will make them really grumpy |
| 22:46.05 | gonkulator | nobody likes being replaced by me |
| 22:46.08 | evil_proton | haha |
| 22:46.15 | merlin{server} | hrm. |
| 22:46.26 | gonkulator | is this for the jetstream story? |
| 22:46.53 | merlin{server} | hey scanline |
| 22:46.58 | evil_proton | gonkulator: yup |
| 22:46.59 | scanline | hey merlin{server} |
| 22:49.30 | scanline | why not? |
| 22:49.37 | merlin{server} | the screenshots suck. j/k |
| 22:49.52 | scanline | the design has a few big similarities with picogui |
| 22:50.19 | merlin{server} | mostly because fresco isn't ready to use |
| 22:50.27 | scanline | neither is picogui :) |
| 22:50.48 | merlin{server} | true there |
| 22:52.03 | merlin{server} | welp, I think I'm going to make YAAAAGI |
| 22:52.11 | merlin{server} | Yet Another Attempt At A Gentoo Install |
| 22:52.56 | merlin{server} | Mandrake sucks |
| 22:54.49 | evil_proton | scanline: you're gonna lub the ending scene i've got developing in my head =D |
| 22:55.42 | scanline | :) |
| 22:55.58 | evil_proton | here goes: |
| 22:56.20 | evil_proton | near the beginning, she meets a boy about her same age who has also been drafted |
| 22:56.27 | evil_proton | throughout the story she slowly opens up to him, because she's never really known anyone for that long |
| 22:56.43 | evil_proton | and at the end, he commits suicide so that a fairy useless mission can succeed |
| 22:57.01 | evil_proton | she's left in her room, crying, scene fades out, music & sound keep going...then roll the credits |
| 22:57.03 | evil_proton | =D |
| 22:57.10 | scanline | wow |
| 22:57.23 | scanline | that's definitely going to piss people off =) |
| 22:58.26 | evil_proton | you think that'll fit my goal of making the player emotional? |
| 22:58.32 | scanline | indeed |
| 22:59.49 | scanline | suppose I'll have to include a Big Global Alpha Modulation (tm) in my wad of scene rendering parameters |
| 22:59.56 | proton[BGDFH] | heh |
| 23:00.29 | scanline | hmm, but that would only work if there was no overdraw |
| 23:00.55 | proton[BGDFH] | could possibly do it w/ the accumulation buffer |
| 23:01.02 | scanline | ah |
| 23:02.31 | proton[BGDFH] | actually the accumulation buffer is exactly how to do it |
| 23:02.57 | proton[BGDFH] | copy one scene to the buffer with its alpha value, render the other, copy it with the inverse alpha, draw the buffer to the screen |
| 23:04.02 | scanline | oh.. you can copy the backbuffer to the accumulation buffer? |
| 23:04.42 | proton[BGDFH] | http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/opengl/redblue/ <-- very simple example |
| 23:06.40 | scanline | cool.. so many ways to abuse this >:) |
| 23:06.52 | proton[BGDFH] | hehe |
| 23:11.17 | proton[BGDFH] | of course thats the silly way to do anaglyph |
| 23:13.31 | proton[BGDFH] | gonkulator: in a psycological sense? :) |
| 23:14.09 | gonkulator | proton[BGDFH]: if you insist |
| 23:14.54 | proton[BGDFH] | scanline: so true |
| 23:18.20 | gonkulator | but thats no good |
| 23:20.47 | scanline | proton[BGDFH]: is she present when he commits suicide? |
| 23:23.21 | proton[BGDFH] | scanline: she's in the same group of ships flying the mission |
| 23:23.38 | scanline | ok |
| 23:24.19 | proton[BGDFH] | we'll probably do a little video transmission thingy, then switch out of player control to watch him fly his ship into whatever it is they're trying to destroy |
| 23:26.39 | proton[BGDFH] | then she's back at the base, her commander comes into her room to tell her that he's dead, and its over |
| 23:27.50 | scanline | any idea what they're fighting for yet? |
| 23:27.57 | proton[BGDFH] | nope |
| 23:28.19 | proton[BGDFH] | its not really that important - by the time she's drafted, they've been fighting for so long that the only reason to continue is retribution |
| 23:34.12 | scanline | proton[BGDFH]: I might spend some more time figuring out what the heck is wrong with the Diamond implementation... though this T-strip LOD would have some advantages for lightmapping and vertex arrays |
| 23:34.58 | scanline | but the limitation that the seed mesh would have to be only quads bothers me |
| 23:35.09 | scanline | it wouldn't be possible to create a triangle :-/ |
| 23:35.23 | proton[BGDFH] | i think diamond is a better algorithm |
| 23:35.50 | scanline | it's more flexible definitely |
