| 15:02.26 | Wildtide | oh, the "these arnt Dungeons!" thread on the forums is pure win |
| 15:02.37 | Wildtide | i've been called an "Awhole" for the first time in my life :) |
| 15:04.07 | Noshei | which thread Wildtide? |
| 15:07.02 | Noshei | nm, found it |
| 15:07.03 | Wildtide | http://forums.riftgame.com/rift-general-discussions/general-discussion/339847-these-arnt-dungeons.html |
| 15:11.23 | Noshei | running 2 Windows 8 VM on my windows 8 machine, with rift running on each VM, is kinda funny |
| 15:12.41 | Wildtide | err... owkay. why? :) |
| 15:13.11 | Imhothar | because he can? |
| 15:13.58 | Wildtide | good point :)] |
| 15:14.13 | Wildtide | heh, my smiley grew a beard |
| 15:14.50 | Noshei | :)} <beard |
| 15:15.53 | Wildtide | mine was more of the unexpected accidental type of beard, on account of the ] key being next to the ridiculously small enter key on this laptop |
| 15:16.12 | Noshei | thats strange |
| 15:16.49 | Noshei | freakin euros always putting stuff where it dont belong |
| 15:18.15 | Wildtide | tsk... after the abuse you lot have inflicted on the English language, you have no room to talk ;) |
| 15:18.27 | Wildtide | put the 'u' back in colour, you idle buggers |
| 15:18.57 | Imhothar | That's a nice thread |
| 15:19.06 | Noshei | hey now, you'd be speakin german if not for us, thank you very much |
| 15:19.12 | Imhothar | The highest dungeon I was in so far was I think lvl 35 |
| 15:19.24 | Imhothar | I simply don't have the time... |
| 15:19.26 | Wildtide | it is isn't it? its kept me entertained for ages |
| 15:20.37 | Imhothar | At least I can understand the people beyond the pond, you freaking Brits talk with your mouth half shut |
| 15:20.48 | Noshei | lol |
| 15:21.12 | Imhothar | first time on a plane to the UK I didn't get a single word of what the pilot was ranting about |
| 15:21.13 | Wildtide | rofl. i'm sure this is deeply racist somewhere :) |
| 15:21.20 | Imhothar | totally |
| 15:21.28 | Imhothar | just be glad you're not French |
| 15:21.56 | Noshei | hey at we all agree on that Imhothar |
| 15:22.02 | Wildtide | :) |
| 15:22.11 | Imhothar | damn frog eaters |
| 15:22.37 | Imhothar | poor little froggies |
| 15:23.58 | Imhothar | Awhole... I bet his first attempt didnt make it through swearword filters |
| 15:24.35 | Noshei | lol, so the UK is smaller than Colorado |
| 15:24.50 | Noshei | (I live in Colorado) |
| 15:24.57 | Imhothar | But has 10 times the inhabitants? |
| 15:25.37 | Imhothar | that was a damn exact guesstimate |
| 15:25.40 | Imhothar | wooo |
| 15:25.54 | Noshei | 12.45 times actually |
| 15:26.39 | Imhothar | I always said that and always will: the US and Canada are the biggest waste of space ever |
| 15:27.01 | Noshei | hey we like to have our space over here |
| 15:27.18 | ZorbaBeta | seriously, what else are you going to do with nevada |
| 15:27.46 | Noshei | yeah not much use for nevada, well other than making it a solar farm |
| 15:27.58 | Imhothar | There's enough space for 10 more towns like Vegas |
| 15:28.13 | Imhothar | just needs a few more gold rushes |
| 15:28.14 | Noshei | ZorbaBeta: you see my post about Crit Power? |
| 15:28.52 | Imhothar | Wildtide may we call you Awhole now? |
| 15:28.58 | ZorbaBeta | noshei, yeah, 2.1 probably |
| 15:29.07 | Noshei | bah, so far off |
| 15:29.09 | ZorbaBeta | I'm finally getting a chance to put real time into the addon system again :V |
| 15:29.23 | Noshei | thats good to hear |
| 15:29.27 | Imhothar | yay |
| 15:29.34 | Wildtide | yeah, i kinda like it :) |
| 15:29.47 | Noshei | so what did you decide on, new stuff or fixing bugs? |
| 15:29.51 | Wildtide | oops, scroll fail on webchat :/ |
| 15:30.57 | Imhothar | I'm certain there's some language out there where it means something beneficial |
| 15:31.16 | ZorbaBeta | Same thing I always do, really. Fix regressions, defer minor annoyances out further, add new APIs as time permits. |
| 15:31.43 | ZorbaBeta | The response mostly affirmed that what I was doing was the right thing. :) |
| 15:32.30 | ZorbaBeta | though at some point I'm going to have to stop deferring rifttextfield out and actually fix the dang thing :/ |
| 15:33.05 | Noshei | that would be nice |
| 15:33.42 | ZorbaBeta | I've been playing around with some possible APIs for it on my personal projects . . . but that's been delayed by small things like "non-profit museum foundation" and "getting married". so. |
| 15:34.04 | WildTAwhole | oh, has that happened then? (the married bit) |
| 15:34.06 | ZorbaBeta | the current plan, and this is all under a giant banner of "not guaranteed, plans may change without notice", is to deprecate rifttextfield entirely and roll all the functionality into Text |
| 15:34.14 | ZorbaBeta | wild, scheduled for new year's day. :) |
| 15:34.19 | ZorbaBeta | right now we're finishing wedding prep |
| 15:34.22 | Noshei | lmfao @ WildTAwhole |
| 15:34.45 | Imhothar | aha! so you COULD have come to Oktoberfest! arrgh! |
| 15:34.46 | ZorbaBeta | and buying a ring, and stuff like that. http://www.jewelsforme.com/item-main.asp?Gemtype=CA&Itemnumber=1394r-14&Metal=W |
| 15:35.53 | WildTAwhole | that's one fancy looking ring |
| 15:37.03 | WildTAwhole | i've got a plain gold band. sadly it doesn't make me invisible or turn me into a minion of the dark lord :( |
| 15:37.06 | ZorbaBeta | that's actually pretty sedate compared to many |
| 15:37.07 | ZorbaBeta | http://www.jewelsforme.com/alexandrite-engagement-ring-14k-white-gold-i2006r-6sq |

| 15:38.24 | Imhothar | stil undecided? |
| 15:38.46 | ZorbaBeta | nah, those later ones are pretty ridiculous, I'm just including them as examples of silly rings |
| 15:38.50 | ZorbaBeta | the first one is what we're going with |
| 15:38.55 | ZorbaBeta | she likes shiny things |
| 15:39.00 | Noshei | oh you need to kick Pithos in the butt and get him to add the API for dimension permissions, both on the individual and guild sides |
| 15:39.15 | WildTAwhole | are these for wedding or engagement rings? |
| 15:39.24 | ZorbaBeta | wedding rings, we didn't bother with engagement |
| 15:39.28 | Imhothar | a big enough nut bolt serves the purpose just as well |
| 15:39.54 | WildTAwhole | sure does |
| 15:40.08 | Noshei | I like the simpsons engagement ring, an oinon ring |
| 15:40.32 | Imhothar | put some paint on it, ruin your nails while scrathing a signature onto it and there goes your genuine DIY wedding ring |
| 15:41.04 | WildTAwhole | just go for a lightweight bolt. it'll hurt less when she throws it at you |
| 15:41.15 | Imhothar | bah simpsons, can't get that "Margerie" song out of my head since yesterday |
| 15:42.09 | WildTAwhole | could be worse, it could be Mr. Plow |
| 15:42.19 | Imhothar | oh stop it |
| 15:42.50 | Noshei | ya know what sucks about Alpha testing a game |
| 15:43.12 | WildTAwhole | you're bored of it now its live? |
| 15:43.15 | Noshei | get tired of it before it is even released |
| 15:43.37 | Imhothar | that's why I never bothered with WoW beta invites |
| 15:43.43 | Noshei | I've had SL since PAX! |
| 15:44.12 | Noshei | and now I have to level again, no fun |
| 15:44.33 | ZorbaBeta | yeah, it's pretty rare for me to bother with betas |
| 15:44.53 | ZorbaBeta | I only do it with F2P games where I don't care about the "plot" anyway |
| 15:45.00 | ZorbaBeta | like, I'm not going to spoil planetside 2 for myself by playing it |
| 15:45.20 | ZorbaBeta | I'm just going to get more time killing things in planetside 2 |
| 15:45.21 | Imhothar | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHHiXZWtOqg&feature=related |
| 15:45.27 | Imhothar | let it stop let it stop |
| 15:46.12 | Noshei | I'm glad I was in SL Alpha though, was tons of fun, and very interesting seeing how much things change in such a short time |
| 15:47.18 | ZorbaBeta | yeah, we're good at that :) fun fact: zone events didn't exist in the original beta1, nor were we planning on implementing them |
| 15:47.34 | Noshei | was really funny when I got my invite for Alpha, I was standing there talking to Scott Hartsman at the Rift booth at PAX when I got the e-mail |
| 15:51.21 | WildTAwhole | no zone events? was this back when it was called Heroes of Telara? |
| 15:52.03 | ZorbaBeta | nah, still Rift - and not Rift: Heroes of Telara either - but extremely early in the public betas |
| 15:52.18 | WildTAwhole | oh, ofc... it still had Rifts, just no invasions. |
| 15:52.28 | ZorbaBeta | it had invasions too, but not zone-wide events |
| 15:54.37 | Noshei | ZorbaBeta: you should have someone drop a "Make me level 60" potion in my bag after the servers restart, i won't tell anyone |
| 15:55.47 | WildTAwhole | ok, i fail at RIFT terminology. was thinking Invasion = Zone Event, but it doesn't... i'll shut up :D |

| 17:20.24 | seebs | ZorbaBeta: I do rather like the idea of rolling the functionality into Text. |
| 17:20.58 | ZorbaBeta | yeah, it's an idea I came up with in my local framework, and it's working well so far |
| 17:21.27 | seebs | That would indeed solve nearly all of my problems, and simplify the heck out of my code. |
| 17:21.57 | seebs | Only significant remaining issue would be detecting and/or preventing key events. |
| 17:28.56 | Imhothar | Anyone know SpaceChem? |
| 17:29.08 | ZorbaBeta | spacechem is totally awesome |
| 17:29.14 | Imhothar | yeah |
| 17:29.26 | Imhothar | dusted it off after a year to finally finish the last levels |
| 17:29.30 | Imhothar | gives you a headache |
| 17:29.37 | ZorbaBeta | I'm like 2/3 of the way through it, never did get further |
| 17:29.45 | ZorbaBeta | one of my friends does some of the craziest solutions |
| 17:29.52 | Imhothar | Made it to the 8th worls |
| 17:30.06 | ZorbaBeta | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfR-Dv4f15o wheeeee |
| 17:30.35 | Imhothar | that level is insane, still working on it |
| 17:30.45 | ZorbaBeta | can you do it in one reactor? :D :D :D |
| 17:30.49 | Imhothar | the game is good at teaching concurrent programming |
| 17:31.02 | Imhothar | ah wait that's not a real level, is it |
| 17:31.09 | ZorbaBeta | it's a real level |
| 17:31.14 | Imhothar | oh its from the DLC, don't know that one |
| 17:31.17 | ZorbaBeta | he just decided to do the entire thing within one reactor |
| 17:31.18 | Imhothar | but I have a similar one |
| 17:31.26 | ZorbaBeta | because, hey, why not |
| 17:31.27 | Imhothar | same inputs, but different outputs and 2 reactors |
| 17:31.52 | Imhothar | I came up with some really weird reactors myself |
| 17:32.02 | ZorbaBeta | btw seebs if you haven't played spacechem you'd almost certainly like it |
| 17:32.50 | Imhothar | as long as you don't get lost in your own machine |
| 17:32.59 | Imhothar | got flip-flops already? |
| 17:33.24 | Imhothar | binary counting in a chemical reactor ftw |
| 17:35.06 | ZorbaBeta | yeah, I definitely ran into those |
| 17:35.14 | Imhothar | didn't get the KOHCTPYKTOP level yet, and I don't even know where to start |
| 17:36.04 | Imhothar | Wonder how hard it is to figure out the puzzles as a dev and making sure it's solvable + the difficulty increases over time |
| 17:36.52 | ZorbaBeta | incredibly so |
| 17:37.00 | Imhothar | I think seebs is either 1. watching youtube videos of spacechem or 2. buying the game :) |
| 17:37.02 | ZorbaBeta | one of the fun paradoxes of puzzle games is that adding more levels can reduce the time required to beat the game |
| 17:37.56 | ZorbaBeta | I can't remember if I got kohctpyktop or not. I think I made a serious effort at it, at least |
| 17:38.15 | ZorbaBeta | unfortunately I did it all before steamcloud support, so if I decide to try again, I'll need to start from the beginning |
| 17:38.22 | ZorbaBeta | not that the earliest levels will be a big problem, of course |
| 17:38.50 | Imhothar | Those challenges deserve the title "challenge" |
| 17:39.53 | Imhothar | On the later planets the reactors and connections are fixed |
| 17:39.57 | Imhothar | doesn't make things easier |
| 17:40.24 | Imhothar | I just spent about an hour on a single level |
| 17:41.21 | Imhothar | I love watching the reactors go crazy on high speed |
| 17:42.14 | seebs | I'm just gonna buy that without trying to comprehend it, and play it when I wake up. |
| 17:42.36 | ZorbaBeta | hah, not a bad move. :) |
| 17:42.47 | Imhothar | sounds like a plan |
| 17:42.49 | ZorbaBeta | It's really easy to understand the basics. |
| 17:42.53 | ZorbaBeta | It, uh. Gets more complicated from there. |
| 17:43.12 | seebs | I've been burning my way through the new Layton. |
| 17:43.18 | Imhothar | Just don't look at the clock while trying some of the harder levels ;) |
| 17:43.23 | ZorbaBeta | ah, I'm still not quite finished with the last one |
| 17:44.14 | seebs | Time can be a killer for me. I'm fast if there's no time limit, but time limits often screw me up. So I'll play until I run into one, then usually just stop there because it has become Annoying. |
| 17:44.27 | Imhothar | there are no time limits |
| 17:44.41 | Imhothar | just saying the puzzles can be quite challenging |
| 17:44.42 | seebs | Cool. |
| 17:45.00 | Imhothar | It took me an hour to figure the last one out just now |
| 17:45.06 | seebs | I have traditional Severe ADHD. So my performance is wildly erratic. |
| 17:45.19 | Imhothar | not THE last one in the game, you know what I mean |
| 17:47.29 | seebs | My experience of puzzle difficulty is extremely nonlinear. |
| 17:48.29 | seebs | In the Layton game, I tend to waffle between being completely stumped because I can't comprehend a term and unable to figure out where the puzzle part is. |
| 17:51.08 | Imhothar | Just watching some of my solutions form last year makes me think whether I was smoking something back then |
| 18:03.16 | seebs | I have to say, "requires Mono" is not the most encouraging thing I've ever heard about a piece of software. |
| 18:07.31 | ZorbaBeta | it's actually pretty common for indie games now. lots of indie games are developed in C# |
| 18:07.47 | ZorbaBeta | and if you want to run them on linux or osx, which I assume you're doing, then you end up needing mono |
| 18:24.30 | ZorbaBeta | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRTsl1jCqq8 this is a pretty good watch and IMHO 100% accurate |
| 18:33.08 | seebs | I have a lot of distrust for C#, Mono, etcetera. Microsoft has a long and successful history of screwing people on API creep, and de Icaza is a nutjob. |
| 18:39.03 | ZorbaBeta | fair enough |
| 18:42.21 | seebs | Every news story I've read about him in the last decade could be adequately responded to with "no, I'm pretty sure Bill is staying with Melinda, sorry." |
| 18:42.49 | seebs | yay! gel floor mat is finally arrive. |
| 18:42.53 | seebs | Standing desk is EVEN BETTER. |
| 18:43.52 | seebs | I am not sure WHY this is so comfy, because it totally feels a lot stiffer than the foam mat I'd gotten as a temporary solution, but man do I feel better. |
| 18:44.24 | ZorbaBeta | it wouldn't surprise me if it's actually harder to stand on an excessively soft surface |
| 18:45.10 | ZorbaBeta | unrelated: always feel kinda silly pledging to a kickstarter that has basically zero percent chance of success, but, hey |
| 18:46.14 | seebs | Yeah. |
| 18:46.46 | seebs | I always get nervous when I hear possibly-negative news about things I like, although I'm slightly resistant to the usual response of disbelieving it on principle. |
| 18:47.32 | seebs | I am honestly completely unable to tell how well Rift is or isn't doing financially. The shard mergers look really worrisome, but the actual in-game population seems to be booming. Which makes me wonder why there are fewer shards. |
| 18:48.19 | seebs | As to the surface: I think the thing is, the soft thing just sort of compresses into a flat surface under my feet. The gel's resistant enough that it dips a little more under heels, but stays squishy under them, and just redistributes load more. |
| 18:49.52 | seebs | SL is really, really, impressive to me from a gameplay/design standpoint. Rift at launch levelling was sort of similar in feel to every other EQ-like MMO's questing, with occasional interruptions. SL is much more rewarding of "just run around doing stuff and things will come up". |
| 18:50.19 | seebs | ... and yes, spacechem is glorious. |
| 18:50.42 | seebs | I used to try to play roborally with friends, but we gave up when we established that we couldn't find a handicap that made any sense under which I wouldn't usually win. |
| 18:51.34 | ZorbaBeta | yeah, I do the same thing with roborally |
| 18:52.03 | *** join/#riftuidev Imhothar (~miranda@ppp-188-174-31-74.dynamic.mnet-online.de) |
| 18:54.42 | seebs | The point at which we gave up was a six-point race where I did 1-6-1 and the other players did 1-6. |
| 18:54.53 | seebs | We *still* don't know how this works. |
| 18:55.07 | ZorbaBeta | one thing we tried is that each point has to be shot a few times in order to unlock it |
| 18:55.12 | ZorbaBeta | slows down the person in front pretty significantly |
| 18:55.21 | seebs | Oooh, nice thought. |
| 18:55.40 | seebs | A few jobs back, I had a coworker who was an actual master-ranked chess player. |
| 18:56.07 | seebs | I got him what I was sure would be either the best or worst gift ever, which was a card-deck called "knightmare chess", which consisted of a set of cards which, when played, violated the Rules Of Chess in various ways. |
| 18:56.18 | seebs | Like "move a knight twice" or "rotate board 90 degrees". |
| 18:56.24 | ZorbaBeta | that actually sounds kind of awesome |
| 18:56.29 | seebs | It is! |
| 18:57.01 | seebs | Thing is. He's a master-ranked player. His daughter's not. But! Rule-breaking *utterly* destroys his map of the space, while it barely affects her. So they could play together, if he just gave her more cards to make up for the remaining skill disparity. |
| 18:57.05 | seebs | So it was awesome. |
| 18:57.12 | ZorbaBeta | hah, sweet :D |
| 18:57.22 | seebs | Honestly, though. |
| 18:57.38 | ZorbaBeta | ever heard of a game called Galaxy Trucker? it's got a pretty sweet handicap system in that it comes with a large deck of cards that make your life suck |
| 18:57.43 | seebs | It had a key flaw, which was cultural. Which is that it is VERY VERY important to chess players that you do not *capture* the king, you merely checkmate the king. |
| 18:57.45 | ZorbaBeta | but the vast majority of them can be applied to single players |
| 18:57.51 | seebs | ohh, interesting. |
| 18:57.52 | ZorbaBeta | so it turned out to be a really convenient handicap system |
| 18:58.21 | seebs | Thing is, if you have a game full of special rules like "that's not my king, that's a pawn, my king's over here", trying to avoid an actual capture and still know what happens is... not very effective. |
| 18:58.36 | seebs | But you can't make chess players accept a game in which kings are actually captured. |
| 18:58.36 | ZorbaBeta | I had a game with two newbies, a friend of mine, and me. my friend and I had the card where any cargo that was destroyed would explode violently. I *also* had the card where my spaceship would randomly spin around 180 degrees. It turned out to be a rather close game. |
| 18:58.57 | seebs | hee |
| 19:01.29 | seebs | Oh, may or may not be a bug, or API issue, but: |
| 19:01.45 | seebs | There is an NPC in Tulan whose chat messages do not show in any ordinary game window, but show up with Event.Chat.Npc. |
| 19:02.05 | seebs | Town Crier. This may be relevant, may not. I only noticed because I made an addon that stashes NPC chat messages. |
| 19:02.30 | seebs | ... So you can solve the Encrypted Order cryptograms. All but one of which, I believe, are shown as cleartext later in the quest chain. |
| 19:02.34 | seebs | The one which isn't is funny. |
| 19:03.06 | ZorbaBeta | that's quite curious. I'll have to see what's going on with that. |
| 19:04.02 | seebs | I am probably gonna clean that addon up and put it up on RiftUI, because it's actually sorta fun, and maybe that will encourage the quest team to make more cryptograms for us. |
| 19:04.54 | seebs | And since I am talking about addons: I feel I should point out once again just how UNBELIEVABLY amazing I find it that we just got an expansion pack, for which I needed to change a total of about five lines of code in all my addons, and none of the addons I use were broken by it. |
| 19:04.54 | Imhothar | ooo finally some online footage |
| 19:04.55 | Imhothar | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_AQAuptEdo |
| 19:05.20 | seebs | http://macromeme.com/cat/take-the-stairs-handicap.jpg <-- well thought out |
| 19:05.25 | Imhothar | I worked on that app |
| 19:05.29 | Imhothar | the 3d is my game |
| 19:06.14 | seebs | Cool! |
| 19:06.15 | Imhothar | it's an electric R8 |
| 19:07.13 | Imhothar | it's connected to the car via wifi and does lots of funny things |
| 19:08.20 | Imhothar | hm they don't show all of it. it also has a energy flow simulation of the electric consumers/producers |
| 19:10.29 | Imhothar | They gave me the entire CAD models of the car and assumed I could crunch them onto an iPad 3 in realtime |
| 19:10.33 | Imhothar | that was an adventure |
| 19:11.58 | seebs | Wow. That is some impressive work. |
| 19:12.17 | seebs | So, because I do iOS stuff, I now know: |
| 19:12.32 | seebs | the iPad 3 can actually drain its battery while plugged in to one of the official Apple chargers, and runs pretty hot. |
| 19:12.47 | seebs | The iPad 4 is dramatically faster, runs cool, and does not drain its battery while plugged in under any load I can create. |
| 19:13.56 | Imhothar | this video explains how the car is built up on the engineering side, which is quite unique as it even allows torque vectoring on the rear axis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NvchSk2mlI&feature=relmfu |
| 19:16.24 | seebs | There is something really awesome about finally being able to talk about something you've been working on. |
| 19:18.16 | Imhothar | This one does better at showing the app and what it's useful for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgP2WTiVopw |
| 19:28.56 | Imhothar | Interesting to read articles about one's own work |
| 19:29.56 | seebs | Yeah. |
| 19:44.01 | seebs | BTW, yes, spacechem is awesome. |
| 21:47.10 | seebs | hah! |
| 21:47.29 | seebs | turns out the funny encrypted text in that quest was going to be in as cleartext also, but got cut. So the designer thought it was cool that someone found it. |
| 21:52.59 | Imhothar | we got CIA quests now? |
| 22:17.52 | seebs | There's a couple of quests in Port Jule where you are sent to retrieve "encrypted orders". In English, at least, they're just substitution ciphers. |
| 22:18.05 | seebs | I mean, for the quest, you just follow the instructions and click on the glowies. |
| 22:18.16 | seebs | But the chat text is actually readable and turns out to be meaningful. |
| 22:40.44 | Imhothar | wee |
