| 06:02:00 | sam686 | is Son of Airlock: The Quickening - _k a filler level, it is missing a * |
| 06:02:00 | zoomber_mbp | curious |
| 06:15:00 | sam686 | zoomber_mbp, zoomber's servers went laggy, i got like 80 ping that time instead of usual 40 piing (both 74.122.x. and 216.231.x all lagged at the same time) but other servers didn't lag at a.. |
| 06:15:00 | sam686 | was laggy yesterday |
| 06:15:00 | zoomber_mbp | hmm |
| 06:15:00 | zoomber_mbp | stupid hosting company seems to have issues with their nodes now and then |
| 06:16:00 | sam686 | i find that server 96.44 works much better and less issues (except that one time, about a week of down time) |
| 06:18:00 | zoomber_mbp | hmm |
| 06:18:00 | zoomber_mbp | feel free to move servers where you want |
| 06:18:00 | sam686 | ok |
| 06:22:00 | karamazovapy | Son of Airlock wasn't a filler level, it was my entry! |
| 06:22:00 | karamazovapy | also, I think it is awesome |
| 06:28:00 | sam686 | it wasn't part of voting, so i thought it was just a filler.. |
| 06:29:00 | karamazovapy | my levels are never a part of voting |
| 06:31:00 | karamazovapy | but if I make more than one level, I consider the one I put more time and thought into as my "entry" |
| 06:31:00 | karamazovapy | even though it won't go into voting |

| 06:44:00 | raptor | what the crazy... i won the contest! |
| 06:44:00 | raptor | i thought i was down two votes |
| 06:45:00 | raptor | also, BlackBird... that was great! |
| 06:49:00 | sam686 | there seem to be a problem with [code=levelcode] blanking a post when the code is huge, like mine http://bitfighter.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1134 |
| 06:49:00 | raptor | yes, i noticed that, too... |
| 06:49:00 | sam686 | i am stuck with only a [code=text] to get it to show up |
| 06:49:00 | raptor | i wonder if it's solved with the newer forums |
| 06:51:00 | sam686 | http://199.192.229.168/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1035 its blank on that forum, is that a newer version of forum? |
| 06:51:00 | raptor | yes, 3.0.9 |
| 06:52:00 | sam686 | hit "quote" or "edit" the stuff is there, it just won't display |
| 06:54:00 | sam686 | oh and i seem to have found a level that crash the server http://sam686.maxhushahn.com/upload/upload_does_this_crash_server_question.level |
| 06:55:00 | sam686 | might be something wrong with clipper? |
| 06:59:00 | zoomber_mbp | raptor, what did you make? |
| 06:59:00 | zoomber_mbp | i haven't checked the forums yet |
| 06:59:00 | zoomber_mbp | i'm afraid I'm busy at the moment |
| 06:59:00 | zoomber_mbp | bah don't tell me |
| 06:59:00 | zoomber_mbp | its a surprise! |
| 07:01:00 | sam686 | i think raptoR is a little buzy with something else over a past few days,, |
| 07:03:00 | raptor | vacation! |
| 07:03:00 | raptor | and 'stars!' |
| 07:03:00 | sam686 | what, a vacation away from programming? |
| 07:04:00 | raptor | just normal routine |
| 07:04:00 | sam686 | maybe you could re-routine to a different path, maybe? |
| 07:06:00 | raptor | explain |
| 07:07:00 | sam686 | i made that up, as in changing routing maybe? |
| 07:08:00 | sam686 | http://www.google.com/search?q=Stars that all i can find about "Stars!" i don't get what you are so in to.. |
| 07:09:00 | raptor | oh, here is essentially what is left of it: http://wiki.starsautohost.org |
| 07:09:00 | raptor | it's like a civilization/colonization type game but with planets. It was made in the 90s and can even run on Windows 3.1 |
| 07:09:00 | raptor | very basic graphics, but deep gameplay - i've been playing with my brother the whole time |
| 07:15:00 | raptor | runs in linux under WINE |
| 07:18:00 | raptor | not on windows 7 though because it's a 16bit application |
| 07:20:00 | sam686 | i don't even know what to do, or if i even downloaded the right one... |
| 07:21:00 | raptor | let me get you it |
| 07:21:00 | raptor | it is considered 'abandonware' so a serial is in the archive |
| 07:21:00 | raptor | here: http://host-78-12-107-208.midco.net/upload/stars27j.7z |
| 07:24:00 | sam686 | i still don't know what to do, all it looks like is an editor of some sort that I don't know how to use... |
| 07:25:00 | raptor | yeah.. takes a little getting used to |
| 07:26:00 | raptor | if you're using windows xp, there may be some unexpected behavior. basically the best platform now is WINE |
| 07:27:00 | raptor | http://wiki.starsautohost.org/wiki/Get_Stars!#NT.2F2000.2FXP_32bit |
| 07:29:00 | sam686 | I would rather just watch a video, but i can't find any through searching.. |
| 07:29:00 | raptor | yeah, it had a niche following: those who liked thinking/strategic games |
| 07:31:00 | raptor | you probably won't find anything other than what's on the wiki |
| 07:33:00 | sam686 | its mostly the type of game i don't want to play, but I would like to at least watch a video, or watch your screen if possible |
| 07:34:00 | zoomber_mbp | does raptor hate using the dns Http://sam686.maxhushahn.com/ ? |
| 07:34:00 | zoomber_mbp | i just feel like its so much easier to type than…that ip AND letters |
| 07:35:00 | raptor | no, i like the DNS name |
| 07:35:00 | raptor | it's just when uploading larger files > 1-2MB it seems to fail |
| 07:35:00 | zoomber_mbp | really? how? |
| 07:35:00 | sam686 | i think raptor took that from /whois sam686 |
| 07:35:00 | raptor | never completes the transfer |
| 07:35:00 | zoomber_mbp | wierd |
| 07:36:00 | sam686 | http://sam686.maxhushahn.com/ and http://host-78-12-107-208.midco.net/ and http://208.107.52.15 should be the same computer, i don't see how one can fail and not the other |
| 07:37:00 | sam686 | unless you tried http://www.maxhushahn.com or http://cool.maxhushahn.com which have a .php config file limited to 1-2 MB file |
| 07:39:00 | raptor | that could have been it... |
| 07:39:00 | raptor | i don't remember exactly - i just remember failing on three separate occasions; but, it was during the time that you were moving |
| 07:41:00 | raptor | i'll try again next time |
| 07:45:00 | raptor | well, good night |
| 07:46:00 | sam686 | ok |
| 07:47:00 | | raptor Quit (Remote host closed the connection) |
| 07:49:00 | zoomber_mbp | yeah raptor that was it lol |
| 07:49:00 | zoomber_mbp | my php thing limits |
| 07:49:00 | sam686 | zoomber_mbp http://http://sam686.maxhushahn.com/upload3.txt (i updated it, it should detect the current upload_max_filesize and post_max_size) |
| 07:49:00 | zoomber_mbp | kk |
| 07:49:00 | sam686 | oops i haven't updated yet.. |
| 07:50:00 | sam686 | i had 2 computers, the other is hosting http |
| 07:51:00 | sam686 | http://sam686.maxhushahn.com/upload3.txt there, now it is updated |
| 07:52:00 | sam686 | you should see echo "<br>upload_max_filesize: " . ini_get('upload_max_filesize') somewhere at the bottom |

| 18:43:00 | karamazovapy | I can't see a good way to modify Celtic Arena without ruining the decor |
| 18:46:00 | raptor | yeah, that's the problem i'm having |
| 19:03:00 | karamazovapy | found a fix |
| 19:06:00 | raptor | ? |
| 19:06:00 | karamazovapy | damn...can't be larger than 64kb on pastie |
| 19:07:00 | sam686 | http://sam686.maxhushahn.com/upload3.php ? |
| 19:08:00 | karamazovapy | https://www.msu.edu/~youattan/1211raptoredit.level |
| 19:09:00 | karamazovapy | you can use the regular lineitems on top, but the color blends with the barriers make it kind of iffy |
| 19:09:00 | raptor | oh wow |
| 19:09:00 | karamazovapy | yeah, that's my best fix |
| 19:10:00 | raptor | that's neat! you made the same pattern induce a maze-like |
| 19:11:00 | karamazovapy | just moved the spawns out a bit and increased the gridsize a little |
| 19:12:00 | karamazovapy | takes away some of the crazy by restricting the approach paths |
| 19:15:00 | raptor | after the approach it'd still be crazy |
| 19:15:00 | raptor | actually no |
| 19:15:00 | raptor | because you can't go through the center fast |
| 19:22:00 | raptor | be back later - to the museum! |
| 19:22:00 | karamazovapy | right - and your middle goalzone is relatively well protected |

| 21:51:00 | raptor | so i'm trying to post 'Disorder Down Under' |
| 21:52:00 | raptor | it's only 16K, and the post is empty when previewing |
| 21:52:00 | raptor | what is the limit on level posts? |
| 21:54:00 | raptor | whatever, i just attached it |
| 22:41:00 | sam686 | can you try a [code=text] you might have ran into the same problem I have |
| 22:42:00 | raptor | ok |
| 22:43:00 | sam686 | it might be due to the auto formatting with [code=levelcode] throwing a bunch of <font color=blah> causing the formatted size to be too big |
| 22:47:00 | raptor | yep, that was it |
| 22:47:00 | raptor | code=text works |
| 22:49:00 | sam686 | then it must be something wrong with some [code=levelgan] plugin, i guess |
| 22:50:00 | sam686 | my very basic install of phpbb doesn't have such [code=something] so i can't test on my own phpbb.. |
| 22:50:00 | sam686 | http://sam686.maxhushahn.com//forum/viewtopic.php?t=5 note how i can't put in [code=something] |
| 22:51:00 | sam686 | so it must be something wrong with plugin, i think |
| 22:55:00 | raptor | it must be post-size or line count that breaks it |
| 22:56:00 | raptor | i just posted 'The KDE Desktop Environment' and it has longer barriers - but the levelcode worked fine |
| 23:19:00 | sam686 | its the size of the post that breaks [code=levelcode] |
| 23:20:00 | sam686 | i kind of wonder how to get my phpbb to work with [code=levelcode] |
| 23:20:00 | raptor | do you kjnow where the code plugin is? |
| 23:20:00 | raptor | is it in the admin panel somewhere? |
| 23:21:00 | sam686 | maybe, but not sure... |
| 23:21:00 | raptor | found it! |
| 23:21:00 | raptor | 60000 maximum characters in post size |
| 23:22:00 | raptor | i set it to 0 |
| 23:23:00 | raptor | nope, that still fails |

| 23:56:00 | raptor | argh, now i'm getting an apache segfault when submitting level code on the new forums |
| 23:58:00 | raptor | i tried updating the GeSHi plugin to see if that would fix the levelcode problems |
| 23:58:00 | Watusimoto | I thought you were retiring for the week to focus on improving your stars game! |
| 23:59:00 | raptor | my brother and i finally beat it last night! |
| 23:59:00 | Watusimoto | really? I've never finished a game |
| 23:59:00 | raptor | and hyper-expansion races are mean |
| 23:59:00 | raptor | but their weakness was 1/2 max population per planet |
