00:00:22sam686hi
00:00:28raptorhi sam686
00:00:43raptorWatusimoto and I have been thinking about doing another BBB
00:01:14raptor_k is probably going to be gone for a while; or, maybe for good...
00:02:18raptorif we announced one for some friday night in the future, would we be able to use your VPS for the temporary server?
00:03:13sam686maybe, _k has been doing all the scheduling and hosting (now he is not here to do that)
00:04:58raptorwatusimoto said he may be able to do prizes...
00:05:34raptorI could do the anouncement (not much, I know, but I don't have a VPS or can buy prizes..)
00:07:42sam686next thing, the level selections...
00:07:48raptoroh yeah!
00:07:55raptoryou mean level design contest?
00:08:36sam686maybe any levels that is big enough and good enough will do..
00:08:51raptorwell, there are two serious editor bugs... we may want to level design contest after 018
00:09:00raptoroh, level selections for the BBB, yes
00:09:02raptori understand now
00:09:16raptorwe could make a forum post for a vote?
00:10:29sam686maybe yes, though could simply ask what map anyone want to play during BBB
00:10:43raptori think that'd be too much hassle
00:11:09raptori think we should have a bunch of maps ready first and in order, then change to a different one if wanted
00:11:57sam686ok
00:13:19raptorwhen do you think would be a good date? April 27th? May 4th?
00:13:30raptori'll ask watusimoto tomorrow as well
00:13:57sam686i don't know, either would work...
00:15:51raptorok
00:15:58raptorhow about score keeping?
00:16:03raptordo you know how _k did it?
00:16:20raptordid he just record it all and looked through the recordings?
00:17:11sam686so far, they add a point for each player that wins (for teams, all players in a win team gets a point)
00:17:19raptorah ok
00:17:50sam686though, sometimes team changing at the last second to a winning team doesn't count
00:18:05raptoryes, so he mus tlook at the scoreboards...
00:18:36sam686but maybe the "vote must pass to change team" addition may prevent most cases change team abuse... (admin can change team without such vote to pass)
00:19:41raptordid he enable voting?
00:19:59sam686no, but i can if i host a big battle
00:22:03sam686as for video recorder, guess who can record the video gameplay?
00:22:55sam686i still have a full big battle 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 videos... http://www.youtube.com/user/sam6861
00:23:42sam686i have heard _k records videos too, but often doesn't upload any (maybe 1 or 2) video of gameplay during BBB
00:24:30raptoryou'd be perfect! :)

02:16:39BFLogBot - Commit 903b2e22ff35 | Author: sam8641 | Log: Someone who did the conversion to SDL 2.0 got the mouse wheel reversed, now fixed.
02:16:47raptorhaha
02:16:49raptorthanks sam686
02:16:56raptorno wait!
02:16:58raptoractually
02:17:02raptorthat was watusimoto
02:17:05molliewhat
02:17:19raptorhe thinks the mouse is the right way when we think reversed...
02:17:33molliewow
02:17:40zoomber_mbphey raptor, do you know where you got that logbot link of yours?
02:17:45sam686i think it was the right way, till you got windows version to use SDL 2.0
02:18:00mollie Quit (Client Quit)
02:18:18zoomber_mbpgonna need it for our irc network, which seems to be running real well right now
02:18:19sam686hint, using mouse wheel in editor zooms the opposite..
02:18:28raptorpircbot
02:18:32sam686compared to web browser ctrl + mouse wheel
02:18:33raptoris what i based it off of
02:18:38raptorbut i made heavy modifications
02:18:47zoomber_mbpoh wait, can't i just hg your's?
02:18:55zoomber_mbpyou have it on the google code don't you?
02:18:59zoomber_mbpI
02:19:02raptoryes
02:19:07raptorit's in the 'tools' repo here: https://code.google.com/p/bitfighter/source/list?repo=tools
02:19:11zoomber_mbpIll name it raptorbot, to credit you
02:19:14raptornah
02:19:28zoomber_mbpok, different nickname, but full name raptorbot?
02:19:32zoomber_mbpor even just desc?
02:19:45raptornah, i need no credit...
02:19:55raptorbut i'd be interested in any modifications you make
02:20:04sam686if you are running an IRC server, why do you need a bot when you can modify the IRC server?
02:20:14zoomber_mbpok
02:20:29raptorzoomber_mbp: also, there are loads of other bots that don't use as much memory, written in other languages besides java
02:20:36zoomber_mbpwhat do you mean sam?
02:20:39raptorbut i used that one because i could modify it fast
02:20:49zoomber_mbpraptor: its fine, i'm hosting this logbot on my old bad cpu 208 server
02:21:17sam686some IRC servers are open source, and is possible to code some things in it to do what ever you want...
02:21:20zoomber_mbpreally just for personal channel use. i'm switching irc networks now that it seems our irc is really stable
02:21:45zoomber_mbpyeah sam, our's is based off unrealirc
02:22:49zoomber_mbpits surprisingly nice though, the host is a nice 10 GB ram'd server, and fair ram-sized links
02:23:19sam686dedicated server, or virtual server?
02:23:21zoomber_mbpthough we aren't exactly correct with links yet, chanserv/whatever works though
02:23:39zoomber_mbpnot sure sam, it's not my server, but i can login to it and check
02:24:15zoomber_mbpyes sam, i feel like it is
02:24:38sam68610 GB is a bit too much to be virtual...
02:24:47zoomber_mbpwe have 512 mB swap
02:24:51zoomber_mbp15 GB ram
02:25:03sam686if it has multiple CPU cores that can be used, then it is probably dedicated..
02:25:16zoomber_mbpnah, remember my paris server?
02:25:33zoomber_mbpi switched to a german server, at a better deal, which is VPS but I have four core access, and it actually works like that
02:26:50zoomber_mbpby the way, i have no use for the paris server anymore, since i moved to the german one, but realized there was 1 month left on it, do you want it? Its got 2 Gb and 1.5 GB swap on it
02:27:01zoomber_mbperr, jk, i meant burst*
02:27:02zoomber_mbpnot swap
02:27:14sam686now a days, more computers have 2 or more cores, and only a cheap tiny laptop may have single core...
02:27:51zoomber_mbpteamspeak is using 200% of cpu on the server
02:27:55zoomber_mbpthat's a bit odd, in my mind..
02:28:18zoomber_mbpconsidering java (minecraft) is only taking uup 20% cpu on that server
02:28:27zoomber_mbpfour cores = 400% power i'm assuming
02:28:45sam686maybe there is bugs in teamspeak causing high CPU usage, i guess
02:30:50zoomber_mbpwell anyways,
02:44:09zoomber_mbpsam: do you want my server?
02:44:25zoomber_mbporrrr, we could run dozens of bit fighter servers
02:44:35zoomber_mbpbetter yet, one bit fighter server, with a lot of bots, since the cpu and memory can handle it
02:45:12zoomber_mbp176.31.145.34
02:46:07sam686which version are you using, i don't see it on 017
02:47:00sam686oh well, back to 74.3-something
02:48:07zoomber_mbpno, i think bit fighter got wiped on it, and it would have been 016
02:49:40sam686oh ok, i might have already got on it once and only created my own (sam686 user with my own password, with "sudo" access to anything) ... then i forgot about it till now
02:50:34zoomber_mbpnot sure, if its not there anymore, you can make it again
02:50:50zoomber_mbpor just use the root account
02:51:21zoomber_mbpwhich i'm completely fine with if you'd rather.
02:51:37zoomber_mbpcan call it, bitfighter sam686 2, or something more creative
02:52:34sam686you told me to get on at april 6 ( i think) thats when i created sam686 on it
02:57:17zoomber_mbpoh i did?
02:57:18zoomber_mbpoh
02:57:30zoomber_mbpool
02:57:31zoomber_mbpcool
02:58:34sam686except, "No package mercurial available." when trying yum mercurial
02:58:44raptoradd the epel
02:59:05sam686oh i see, i missed a step
03:01:18sam686i get errors,
03:01:22sam686error: skipping http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error
03:02:14sam686is http://download.fedora.redhat.com dead?
03:02:34sam686i was looking at http://bitfighter.org/wiki/index.php/Building_Bitfighter .. "Building a dedicated server"
03:04:15sam686when ever i tri to visit download.fedora.redhat.com, i get this page: http://www.website-unavailable.com/?url=download%2Efedora%2Eredhat%2Ecom
03:04:18zoomber_mbpmaybe it's epel/6/....
03:04:34zoomber_mbpoh nvm
03:04:44sam686no, the whole website is dead at the moment..
03:04:49zoomber_mbpah
03:04:59zoomber_mbpcould i send it to you somehow?
03:05:05zoomber_mbpmaybe wget an offsite installer?
03:05:10zoomber_mbpnot sure if thats possible
03:05:21zoomber_mbpcompiling services myself atm
03:05:51sam686or i could ftp all the files, with my computer hosting the files
03:06:22sam686but it is much easier if it has hg (which is showing up as "command not found")
03:08:07zoomber_mbpsam
03:08:10zoomber_mbpi have an idea
03:08:31zoomber_mbpyou can hg-get them on another server (like 216 or 74 server), tar them, and move them to the html folder
03:08:37zoomber_mbpthen, wget them from this paris serv
03:28:01zoomber_mbpwow this is gonna be great. Chanserv is moved to a nice roomy 3 GB server
03:28:56zoomber_mbphey raptor, you use SSL to connect to free node right?
03:29:27sam686raptor's info: is using a secure connection
03:29:41zoomber_mbpok
03:29:43sam686you can easily look for that line when doing /whois
03:30:02zoomber_mbpbah, it was an excuse to get his attention :p
03:32:08raptorattention?
03:33:29sam686http://208.107.12.78:12345/ i can port forward to any ip address... to Bitfighter web page.. Port from: 12345 Protocol TCP IP Address: 199.192.229.168 Port to: 80
03:34:43sam686http://sam686.maxhushahn.com/upload/port_foward.PNG
03:34:59zoomber_mbphey raptor, only if you have a minute, can you do a small favor for me but has an importance of 1000x the actual favor's weight?
03:35:06raptorhaha
03:35:10raptorperhaps
03:35:48zoomber_mbpjust connect #help to irc.proelio.net or irc.whiskcraft.net with SSL?
03:35:57sam686by the way, raptor, what did you say about adding it to epal, full command?
03:36:02sam686http://download.fedora.redhat.com doesn't work
03:36:08zoomber_mbpsam, your router is only up 3 days?
03:36:43sam686it had a restart sometime in midnight, not sure, i guess a very short power outage?
03:36:45raptorwhat port?
03:36:48raptor6667 is down
03:37:35sam686what are you tring to do, mysql on which address, mine?
03:37:49raptoroops, meant to connect to 6697
03:42:01zoomber_mbpi see sam686 try to connect to whisk craft, but never joined #help. had issue?
03:46:42zoomber_mbpsee you later raptor: (message for you on #help)
03:49:55zoomber_mbphey raptor: any trace of karamazovapy?
03:50:21raptornegatory

15:14:28raptoryeah
15:14:29raptorso
15:15:02raptori just found out about *another* family in my neighborhood who isn't vaccinating their kids... and one of them plus the father got whooping cough
15:45:32watusimotowhoa
15:45:40watusimotoat least they didn't die from the vaccination
15:46:53LordDVG has joined
16:09:35raptorsigh
16:10:28raptori suppose it takes a rich, complacent society to forget little things like dead children because of these diseases
16:27:12watusimotono one thinks it will happen -- these diseases are so remote
16:27:29raptorexcept measles and pertussis are coming back now
16:27:35raptorand those diseases kill people
16:27:42raptorchildren
16:27:45watusimotoyes, but people haven't relearned that
16:28:01watusimotoI don't disagree with you -- I think not vaccinating your kids is crazy
16:28:12raptorit's just sad that re-learning carries such a high cost
16:28:17watusimotoyes
16:28:35raptormy wife's grandma remembers the polio days vividly
16:28:45watusimotoI'm glad I don't
16:29:11raptorand she thinks the current wave of ignorant moms deciding not to vaccinate their kids is a death sentence
16:32:08watusimotofor some it will be
16:32:45watusimotobut from an individual's POV, the risk of polio is quite low, but from society's POV, it is quite high
16:34:04watusimotoas with anything vaccination has a risk. If you think the the risk of vaccination is greater than the risk of polio, you will probably forego vaccination. Most who do are fine
16:34:57raptorluckily we have such good nutrition nowadays (debatable for some, I know)
16:35:05watusimotobut if you are unlucky...
16:36:49raptorthere was this anti-DPT movement in the 70s and 80s i think
16:37:21raptorsaid it caused brain damage - but it turned out to be epilepsy in a lot of the cases
16:39:16raptorit took like 10 - 20 years for the public to wisen up
16:58:54raptoranyways...
16:58:59raptorbitfighter t-shirt is expensive
16:59:19raptori wouldn't buy one...
16:59:22watusimotoway too expensive
16:59:33watusimotoheading home... be back in a bit
16:59:38raptorlater
17:03:54watusimoto Quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
17:15:31Watusimoto has joined
17:25:47raptorback already? 12 min later...
17:29:00Watusimotothis guy's post almost perfectly describes how we handle lua binding
17:29:04Watusimotowith proxy objects
17:29:24Watusimotoexcept we've solved the problem he wa asking about, about how to delete the proxy object when we're done
17:29:25Watusimotohttp://www.gamedev.net/topic/383027-lua-detecting-references-to-userdata/
17:29:38WatusimotoI wonder if he stole my idea!
17:29:42Watusimotohe's even using Lunar!
17:30:01Watusimotooh wait, he posted before we started using lua
17:30:07Watusimoto2006
17:30:10raptoryou stole his?
17:31:27Watusimotonot on purpose
17:31:48Watusimotoi want to get rid of the proxy object business, and use smart pointers instead
17:31:55raptorwait wait - the guy has an object called GameObject
17:32:05raptorcoincidence?
17:32:14Watusimotowith the levelgens sticking around as they will, I don't want to wrap every object in a proxy class
17:32:14raptoryes, probably...
17:32:19Watusimotoprobably not!
17:32:21Watusimotothief!
17:34:13Watusimotobtw, the LuaWrapper code claims to support smartpointers
17:34:32Watusimotoi'm wondering if lunar would also, if I just shoved a smart pointer into it
17:35:14raptorstill debating on whether to use LuaW instead?
17:35:46Watusimotowell, the real issue is how can we avoid creating proxy objects all over the place
17:36:00Watusimotothe secondary issue is how can we handle subclassing properly
17:36:15WatusimotoLW will help with the second one
17:36:28Watusimotobut the first problem is bigger. maybe smart pointers would work
17:38:05Watusimotounfortunately, no good ideas in that thread; but it may help you understand how things work

19:44:18sam6864297 (9b48f03304ac) is where the mouse wheel is correct (on windows) which used sdl 1.something
19:44:21sam686c5944acf89a9 is when the mouse wheel got reversed after a change to SDL 2.0
19:44:31raptorok, yes
19:44:34sam686thats when I fixed it last night to make it right
19:44:35raptorthat was my fault
19:45:57raptormy problem was that i coded it to the mouse-wheel weapon change
19:46:07raptorbut Watusimoto coded it backwards, so my code was wrong... :)
20:10:52WatusimotoI don't think I did
