00:00:00raptoryeah actually...
00:00:00karamazovapyseems like it to me. not that we have so many people hosting dedicated servers, for the time being
00:05:00watusimoto has joined
00:06:00raptori am going to properly create an easy way to build this, then check it in
00:11:00sam686i join kserv.bot, then when i leave the server died , probably means one of a map is crashing the server..
00:17:00karamazovapyvery possible
00:20:00raptorkaramazovapy: i need your server up so I can ping it again
00:21:00watusimoto1 has joined
00:24:00raptorkaramazovapy: on your vps, type 'mail' and make sure there is a local mail program
00:24:00karamazovapyserver is up (206.217.217.165)
00:24:00raptorit works!
00:24:00watusimoto Quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
00:25:00karamazovapyhm. No mail for root
00:25:00raptorgreat!
00:25:00raptorthen it's there
00:25:00karamazovapyuh...awesome!
00:25:00karamazovapyhaha
00:26:00sam686there still a map in kserv.bot causing a crash.
00:27:00watusimoto1ok, got past my latest editor hurdle... finally impelemtng point items in editor
00:28:00raptorhooray!
00:31:00sam686kserv.bots crash while loading catacombs.. maybe the bots are crashing the server?
00:33:00karamazovapyweird...I had a really basic level crashing my server for some reason
00:35:00karamazovapyUGH...my chat is missing in bitfighter again...
00:35:00raptorwhat
00:35:00raptorweird
00:35:00karamazovapyyeah. it's not like I've reinstalled it or anything
00:35:00karamazovapymaybe I've re-weirded my ini
00:35:00raptori have the utility ready for you
00:35:00raptorhttp://code.google.com/p/bitfighter/source/detail?r=e1b97aec80982b5b651251f0e403012fc9af3d2d
00:36:00karamazovapyhow do I acquire this from my vps?
00:36:00karamazovapyhg somethingsomething something
00:37:00raptorrun 'hg pull -u'
00:37:00raptorthen go into the tnlping/ directory
00:37:00raptorand run 'make'
00:38:00karamazovapydone
00:38:00karamazovapynow what do I actually have to run?
00:38:00raptoris there a file in there called 'tnlping'
00:38:00raptor?
00:38:00karamazovapytnlping.cpp, tnlping.o
00:38:00karamazovapyoh, and tnlping
00:38:00karamazovapyit was green
00:38:00raptorok phoew
00:39:00raptornow run this: ./tnlping 206.217.217.165:28000
00:39:00raptorworks?
00:39:00raptorthat should be your IP and port that the server runs on
00:40:00karamazovapyit works, for what it is
00:40:00raptorgreat
00:40:00raptornow to install the script
00:40:00karamazovapyTNL Service is UP (pingtime = 35)
00:40:00raptorexcellent
00:40:00raptorok, now copy 'tnlping' and 'check_bitfighter_server_status.sh' to /root/bin
00:43:00raptorgood?
00:43:00karamazovapyokay. although curiously, I didn't have a /bin folder
00:43:00raptoroh
00:43:00raptorweird
00:43:00raptorok
00:44:00karamazovapydidn't have anything "normal" in my /root directory
00:44:00raptornow you need to edit the /root/bin/check_bitfighter_server_status.sh
00:44:00raptordo you know how to edit files on linux command line?
00:44:00raptor(if that's what you are using)
00:44:00karamazovapyoh - wait - are you talking root root or "root"
00:44:00raptorthe user root in folder '/root/bin'
00:45:00karamazovapyoh, okay
00:45:00karamazovapybecause I have ~/root/bitfighter
00:45:00karamazovapyand ~/bin
00:45:00raptoryeah, not those
00:45:00raptorif you are user root, then '~/bin' means '/root/bin'
00:46:00karamazovapyso I thought, but there was a folder called root, so I went with it
00:46:00raptorready to edit the file?
00:47:00karamazovapyready ready
00:47:00raptorwhat program do you use to edit it?
00:47:00karamazovapyI need to change server, to...
00:48:00raptordo you know how to use 'vi'?
00:48:00raptorbecause you might have to for this...
00:49:00karamazovapyI think I'm okay - the only remaining issue for me is whether I need to upload a notified.txt file
00:49:00raptornope
00:49:00raptorit is a tricky truco..
00:49:00raptorit creates it on the fly if there is a problem
00:50:00karamazovapywell then I think I'm good
00:50:00raptorthen next time it checks the server, if it sees a notified.txt it won't notify again
00:50:00raptorok
00:50:00karamazovapyserver="IP:206.217.217.165:28000"
00:50:00raptornow to automatically run it
00:50:00karamazovapysendoncefile="/root/bin/notified.txt"
00:50:00raptorgood
00:50:00raptordo you know about the crontab?
00:50:00karamazovapyI do not
00:51:00raptorok, this is a bit tricky: you can only add to the crontab on the server itself
00:51:00raptoras root type 'crontab -e'
00:51:00raptorit should open a blank file (let me know if it does)
00:51:00karamazovapyyeah, it did
00:51:00karamazovapyusing an empty one
00:52:00raptorok, press 'i' (the letter 'eye')
00:52:00raptorit shoud say 'insert' somewhere on the screen
00:52:00karamazovapy-- INSERT --
00:52:00raptorexcellent, now add on one line:
00:52:00raptorMAILTO=""
00:52:00raptorthen below it on another line, add:
00:52:00raptor*/10 * * * * /root/bin/check_bitfighter_server_status.sh
00:53:00raptorthat checks the server every 10 minutes
00:53:00sam686kserv.bot having problem with CATACOMBS map, it is blank with only a nexus zone
00:53:00raptorwhen you're done editing press 'ESC'
00:53:00raptor<escap>
00:54:00raptorthe escape button - INSERT should go away
00:54:00raptorthen press: ':wq' (colon-double-you-queue)
00:54:00raptorand press enter
00:54:00raptorit should save and quite
00:54:00raptorquit
01:00:00karamazovapyError loading lua helper functions scripts/lua_helper_functions.lua: cannot open scripts/lua_helper_functions.lua: No such file or directory. Can't run levelgen script...
01:00:00raptorwait, what? does that have to do with the checker script?
01:00:00raptoroh - you areasnwering sam
01:00:00karamazovapyno - different problem
01:02:00sam686you may need to copy /resource/scripts to /exe/scripts ... probably the update to HG might have delete that /exe/scripts
01:04:00raptoroh crud
01:04:00raptoryeah
01:04:00raptorit did
01:04:00raptorrun 'hg up bitfighter-015a' to restore it
01:05:00karamazovapyfixed
01:05:00karamazovapyI hadn't even noticed, but yeah, it erased my bots and scripts directories
01:29:00raptorsorry about that - i should have given warning about that
01:36:00sam686i will go, night...
01:37:00raptornight
01:39:00watusimoto1good nigt
01:39:00raptorok, i have some sound working and some not...
01:39:00raptorweird
01:52:00raptorso only the menu boop and the flag capture sound work
01:52:00raptorgoofy
02:00:00watusimoto1short v long?
02:00:00zoomber has joined
02:00:00raptoryes
02:01:00raptorah...
02:01:00raptorwait what?
02:01:00zoomberhey
02:01:00raptorhi zoomber
02:01:00raptorhave you found an IRC client that does what you want?
02:02:00zoomberlooks like when I had that virus a while ago, i got rid of the head, but the rest of it left my computer permanently damaged. Just tried running my computer and it cant start up even in safe mode
02:02:00zoombercant pass windows logo, so it looks like i have to find an install cd
02:02:00zoomberoh, and yes, i have a great irc client
02:02:00raptoroh good
02:02:00zoomberonly thing i miss is being able to click "yesterday" and seeing what everyone said
02:03:00raptor!help
02:03:00raptor!log
02:03:00zoomber!commands
02:03:00zoomberlol?
02:03:00zoomber!airlock
02:03:00zoomber!bbb
02:03:00raptori programmed it last night...
02:03:00zoomber!watusimoto
02:03:00zoomber!zoomber
02:03:00raptorhehe
02:03:00zoomberi am undefined
02:04:00raptorsorry, didn't come up with one for you..
02:04:00zoomberlol its fine
02:04:00zoomberi meant im undefined like 8 divided by 0
02:06:00watusimoto1I just placed a flag in th eeditor!!!
02:06:00zoomberlol..?
02:06:00raptorwoo hoo!
02:07:00zoomberwait..
02:07:00zoomberfirst time?
02:07:00watusimoto1yes
02:07:00zoombercongradulations :p
02:07:00watusimoto1still needs fixing, but it's proof the new object model can work
02:13:00zoomberkk
02:19:00zoomberanyone know a way to get something off my hard drive without running my o.s.? I cant take out the hard drive and put it in another computer b/c i have only 1 desktop
02:19:00zoomberif not..ill probably just try to retrieve my information
02:20:00raptoryes, use a rescue CD
02:20:00raptorsysresccd.org
02:20:00zoomberits an 8GB program
02:20:00zoomberi may just reinstall
02:21:00raptoris a really good one, although it is a linux rescue disk with many advanced programs
02:21:00zoomberi may just reinstall so i kill 100% chances of a virus being hidden in a corrupted executable
02:21:00raptorgood idea
02:23:00zoomberhmmm, i bet installing bootcamp drivers on my computer may have messed up the partition identification
02:23:00zoomberthe hard disk's name is now BOOTCAMP
02:23:00raptoroh yeah
02:24:00raptoryou're in deep now...
02:24:00zoomberi did this, along with many other strides to try and get my apple wireless keyboard to work
02:24:00zoomberwell....i got my wireless keyboard to work...:)
02:25:00zoomberhowever..i thought it wouldn't matter much, as most of the drivers in my IBM machiene are the same for my mac
02:25:00zoomberlike an intel graphics media accelerator chipset and a marvel ethernet connection
02:29:00zoomberim so proud of my self. i finally got the guts to just delete and reformat the whole partition
02:29:00raptorhooray!
02:32:00raptorwhat would you name the property of something if it is affected by distance
02:32:00zoomberdang....windows loads so fast now...showed the windows logo for less than 2 seconds and already went to setup screen
02:32:00zoomberwhat would I name a quality of a *thing*, that is affected by the measurement of distance?
02:33:00raptoror its distance to something
02:33:00raptoryes
02:33:00zoomberdisplacement?
02:34:00zoomberinteresting...my irc client allows me to log on with this nickname, even if I havent responded to an identify notification
02:34:00raptoryeah, IRC servers default to that
02:34:00watusimoto1what's an example of the thing you are talking about?
02:34:00raptorsuper open
02:35:00zoomberyeah
02:35:00raptortrying to come up with a variable name
02:35:00raptorwhen a sound is affected by the distance from it
02:35:00raptorperceived sound
02:35:00watusimoto1is it a boolean?
02:35:00raptoris
02:35:00raptoryes
02:35:00watusimoto1i.e. is the sound affected by dist?
02:35:00raptoryes
02:35:00raptorthat
02:36:00watusimoto1I see
02:36:00zoomberoh
02:36:00zoombererrr.now i have to get a wired mouse
02:36:00watusimoto1there's always isQuieterWhenFurther
02:36:00raptorisDopplered ?
02:36:00raptorhaha
02:36:00raptori like it
02:36:00zoomberoh wait, my wireless mouse still works because its awireles usb
02:36:00watusimoto1doppler is a fn of velocity
02:36:00raptor oh yeah, duh
02:37:00watusimoto1well, I'm not coming up with any other great ones... clumsy as it my suggestion is, it is also crystal clear what it means
02:37:00watusimoto1and there's something to be said for that
02:37:00raptoryep
02:37:00zoomberi have one for you
02:37:00watusimoto1better than isDistancable
02:37:00raptorhhahaha
02:37:00zoomberwhat is orange, and sounds like a parrot
02:37:00watusimoto1or somesuch
02:38:00watusimoto1a parrot
02:38:00zoomberoh, i think i already said this one
02:38:00watusimoto1you or somebody
02:38:00watusimoto1heard it about a month ago
02:38:00zoomberyeah, i remember now. you replied with "your mother!"
02:39:00watusimoto1oh yes
02:39:00watusimoto1your mother
02:40:00watusimoto1that one never gets old
02:40:00zoomberit was a carrot actually
02:40:00watusimoto1an old Lemonheads song I really liked in high school talks about rabbits and carrots
02:40:00watusimoto1it's called rabbit
02:40:00zoomberlol
02:42:00raptorok how about the property of a sound to be the same at any distance?
02:43:00raptorisStaticMagnitude
02:43:00zoomberrun magnets everywhere, throw down a blanket of copper wire
02:43:00zoomberand connect your ipod to the copper wire
02:43:00zoomberthen you get sound everywhere, same volume
02:45:00watusimoto1volumeVariesWithDistance()
02:45:00watusimoto1volDependsOnDist()
02:45:00raptorexcellent
02:46:00watusimoto1of course isQuieterWhenFurther has the advantage of being an "is" name
02:46:00raptorhasAdjustableGain
02:46:00watusimoto1isLouderWhenCloser
02:46:00raptoralwaysLoud
02:46:00watusimoto1notAlwaysLoud
02:46:00watusimoto1isSometimesLouderThanOtherTimes
02:47:00raptorstop making me laugh
02:47:00raptor:]
02:47:00watusimoto1I was being serious!
02:47:00watusimoto1well, not totally
02:48:00zoomberwindows has absolutely no support for drivers ..sigh
02:48:00zoomberthis means i have to go on ibm to search for a network driver. put it on a cd, burn it...
02:48:00raptordidn't i show you where to get that once?
02:49:00zoomberyeah. i know where to get it.
02:50:00watusimoto1watch this one full screen: http://vimeo.com/9970489
02:50:00zoombermy computer just has absolutely no drivers now, so ill have to burn a cd just to get it on my ibm computer
02:50:00zoomberunless i get lucky with a flash drive
02:51:00watusimoto1I think the best name proposed is isLouderWhenCloser() but that's just my opinion
02:54:00raptorwow, that was crazy
02:54:00raptormy brother used to do that
02:57:00watusimoto1totally crazy
02:58:00raptorok, all the sounds are working, but certain sounds are waaaay louder than others..
03:01:00raptori'm an idiot
03:01:00raptori didn't realize each sound has a 'gain scale' and is loaded with it
03:08:00watusimoto1can you query that instead of keeping a separate boolean?
03:09:00zoomberinteresting. in the total of 12 hours spread over 3 days it took me to get my apple wireless keybaord to work, on a new install, i was able to get it to work in one try
03:09:00raptorthat boolean is set up for each sound effect profile
03:10:00raptori was just trying to make understanding the code easier for the future
03:10:00watusimoto1always smart
03:22:00zoomberdont forget to take breaks :)
03:22:00raptorargh!
03:22:00raptori can't figure out why the gain is being set so low on some files...
03:27:00zoomber Quit (Quit: zoomber)
03:35:00raptorsolved it
03:35:00raptoralDistanceModel(AL_NONE);
03:35:00raptori was missing that by accident

22:12:00raptorwhere in vc++ do you specify compile time switches?
22:14:00raptori think i found it
22:14:00sam686not sure, probably in Project, build, for any configuration..
