| 02:37.00 | ZorbaBeta | yay back from gdc |
| 02:44.14 | Nivlix|afk | welcome back zorba |
| 02:44.33 | Nivlix | soooo Zorba, know any good resources for learning how to make textures? :P lol |
| 02:47.34 | ZorbaBeta | nivlix, if you'd seen any of the experimental games I'd written, you wouldn't be asking me for advice on texture creation :V |
| 02:47.50 | Nivlix | i dont necessarily want YOU to teach me :P lol |
| 02:48.13 | ZorbaBeta | I've actually seen some good resources - do a google search for "good programmer art" or "how to improve programmer art" or the like |
| 03:07.26 | Nivlix | bbs |
| 03:28.41 | seebs | Welcome back, Zorba! |
| 03:28.55 | seebs | Zorba, in case you guys missed it, there is a *glorious* performance bug, which someone finally found an elegant and clear reproducer for. |
| 03:29.07 | seebs | It is trivial to cut rift's frame rate in half or less by creating macros. |
| 03:29.27 | seebs | Make macro which refers to a power. Swap to a spec without that power. Put the macro on a bar. Repeat. |
| 03:29.49 | seebs | Three or four macros drop me from 29 to 22 fps on PTS. |
| 03:59.25 | ZorbaBeta | I saw that, that's kinda cute :V I imagine it's in the bug tracker by now, I'll make sure on Monday |
| 04:01.23 | ZorbaBeta | and thanks for the welcome back ^^ |
| 04:06.18 | seebs | Just for the record, you should know: |
| 04:06.36 | seebs | I took a week off from work. I desperately needed a vacation, and I have somehow been coming out of vacations not-rested. |
| 04:06.57 | seebs | So I spent the entire week, pretty much, playing Rift and messing with addons. I took computers with me to pubs and worked on addons while people tried to get me dinner. |
| 04:07.02 | seebs | And it was the best vacation I've had in years. |
| 04:07.16 | seebs | This addon API is incomplete, certainly, but it's so FRIENDLY. |
| 04:07.45 | seebs | You have pretty much nailed it in terms of making an API where the things I'm supposed to do are basically easy, and the things I'm not supposed to do are easy to identify. |

| 04:53.59 | Nivlix | ok what are the three resource types again? mana for cleric and mage, energy for rogue, and power for warrior right? |
| 05:02.54 | seebs | yes |
| 05:03.00 | seebs | and charge for mage, because they have two. |
| 05:03.13 | seebs | Also some specs get other pseudo-resources, like convictions or attack/combo points. |
| 05:03.23 | seebs | Attack points really act like a resource. |
| 05:05.35 | Nivlix | yeah working on health and main resource first, then i will add power for mages |
| 05:05.44 | Nivlix | then i will work on combo and attack points for rogue and warrior |
| 05:05.59 | Nivlix | will worry about convictions and stuff like that later |

| 05:20.34 | Nivlix | hahaha im such an idiot tonight seebs |
| 05:21.05 | Nivlix | i had the statement T.playerMana = function() ... end in twice :P |
| 05:21.23 | Nivlix | and the second was blank, and i couldnt figure out why it wasnt firing and changing my mana % |

| 05:39.31 | Nivlix | tell me what ya think of the health and mana bars seebs |
| 05:39.56 | Nivlix | thats not the outter frame im gonna use in the long run, but its what I have to work with for now |

| 05:58.06 | ZorbaBeta | seebs, I'm glad you're finding it easy to work with :D I think it's kinda funny that you basically just said one of my design goals, phrased differently |
| 05:58.28 | ZorbaBeta | "everything possible is easy" |

| 19:53.30 | Nivlix | hey hey all |
| 20:21.58 | Nivlix | :( no support of psd textures |
| 20:44.50 | seebs | What I really want is models. |
| 20:45.18 | seebs | It turns out that's the thing _Cursor used in WoW -- there's limited support for accessing 3D models and drawing them. Including stuff like the "models" used for spellcasting animations. |
| 20:45.40 | Nivlix | ahhhh |
| 20:46.04 | seebs | And Zorba, that makes a ton of sense. The big hassle of WoW was realizing that, say, it was entirely possible, by design, that you could create a frame and decorate it to look like a stnadard window. |
| 20:46.25 | seebs | All you had to do was find the right background textures and the right foreground textures and understand the sides-and-corners texture mapping definition. |
| 20:48.21 | Nivlix | god photoshops is such a pain in the ass |
| 20:48.28 | Nivlix | i just want to make a freaking border |
