00:06:40sam686did you know all windows system since windows 2000 (including windows XP, vista, 7) have msvcrt.dll? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_library_files#Msvcrt.dll_and_Msvcpp.dll
00:07:18iKoda assimilates high doses of caffeine and tries to go to the meeting
00:08:07raptorsam686: yes - and that's why i think we should probably link against it for all of our libraries (eventually)
00:08:21raptorinstead of statically compile it
00:08:47raptorbut after 018..
00:18:01iKoda Quit (Quit: Colloquy for iPhone - http://colloquy.mobi)
00:31:54kodaws has joined
00:33:39kodawsok, connecting from a more stable source
00:33:48raptorhi
00:34:30raptorsam686: if you add a teleporter to the editor, and press TAB, does it render for you?
00:41:34sam686looks like no..
00:42:32amgine123456i confirm no also
00:44:44amgine123456btw when you press f7 it says your name then a number what does the number mean
00:51:24raptorit's the integer representation of you badge mask
00:52:37sam686As if we almost need to "F1" that destribes what all that stuff on "F7" diagnostics...
00:57:53raptoryeah, f7 is full of stuff
00:58:16raptormaybe we should just render the badges there...
01:04:28amgine123456no F1 is fine
01:05:25kodabbws has joined
01:05:27amgine123456btw i wanted to test somthing but i couldnt find the version dor downalod in the irc logs where is it?
01:05:41amgine123456the one sam gave me a few days ago
01:07:49amgine123456i think being able to engeneer speed zones in teh game would be cool =)
01:07:57kodaws Quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
01:22:31amgine123456btw I dont know if you ever saw this but i posted it ealier but in the beta verion of 18 i had the ctrl+; wqas missing from teh editor instrucitons and it no longer does anything
01:22:51amgine123456its the make curves function
01:25:51raptorit is in the instructions, and it works fine
01:25:56raptorlook closer
01:26:04raptorand you may not have the scripts set up properly
01:26:31amgine123456oh and i just relized somthing bots dont sheild from seekers?
01:27:44amgine123456and i just tried to use the ctrl+; command and the game crashed
01:27:56amgine123456 and btw i was wrong it is there weitd thought i wasnt
01:28:11amgine123456sorry for that inaccurcy
01:28:35amgine123456double confirmed the make curves crash
01:29:21amgine123456of course im using sams version from from the 6th so dunno if its out of date if it is i would like to do osme more testing
01:29:32amgine123456with a more recent version
01:31:09amgine123456and the engery gauge still doesnt fill at 100% when you die more like 75% however it does fill up quicly but still
01:33:05amgine123456umm why are the borders of the cores no longer the team color and white? ( for me anyways)
01:34:23amgine123456and teles dont show up when you press tab in the editor?
01:48:00raptoramgine123456: please only give bugs if it is against the current 018 version
01:48:56raptoralso, since you are doing bug testing (thanks!) please make sure the bug isn't on this list first: http://bitfighter.org/wiki/index.php/Running_Bug_List
01:49:12raptorenergy guage is done on purpose
01:49:16amgine123456dont worry this is on veriosn 18
01:49:27raptorcore borders are changed on purpose
01:49:47raptorwe already know about the teleports in editor (see bug list above)
01:50:14raptorctrl + ; works OK for me - you may not have the scripts installed properly
01:52:01raptor goes back to fixing bugs
01:56:17amgine123456 ok after looking at thebn bug list i have confirmed that bots dont sheild from sekers
01:56:35amgine123456and its not on the list
01:56:54raptoryeah - bots have many bugs
01:57:05raptorbut we're probably not going to do too much about it for this release
01:58:17raptornow the crash with ctrl + ;
01:58:18amgine123456and i dont see any apperent cause for my make curves use crash?
01:58:22BFLogBot Commit: 70bc6fb95f1b | Author: buckyballreaction | Message: Remove console commands dead code, and remove/change relevant help sections
01:58:25raptorgame should never crash...
01:59:12raptorhmmm... can't crash yet...
02:00:45amgine123456btw question what do you mean whwn you say you need a citation for the level bvoting system
02:01:01raptori don't know what you are talking about
02:01:12amgine123456in the runniong bug list at hte bottem
02:01:32raptoroh ignore that section
02:01:39raptorjust look at the bugs section
02:03:24raptorcan't get it to crash... maybe something was fixed recently
02:04:18raptorsam686: good job with mingw - i just got it to compile and run!
02:05:11raptor Quit ()
02:05:30amgine123456dumb question how would i chage the file format of twoplayer.bat to a notepad document type so i can look at he coding? (asumming its not incripted0
02:05:44raptor has joined
02:05:44ChanServ sets mode +o raptor
02:06:09raptoramgine123456: you should install notepad++
02:06:24raptorand then you can right click on any file and 'open with notepad++'
02:06:51raptori've never dealt with that .bat file before
02:13:49amgine123456btw 2 ideas a you engeneer speed zones (probably in version 18a) and 2 ship saves loadout from prevoius level
02:15:29raptorsaving loadouts is already done partly - it saves your last loadout, then you have to hit a zone
02:15:54amgine123456ok and 3 preset loadouts are permanetly saved ( you dont have to redefine them every time you start the game up)
02:16:27raptorwe decided against saving the exact one previously (we tried it) because you could start a level that required something completely different - also we wanted everyone to start the level on the same playing field
02:16:59amgine123456 what about presaved loadouts?
02:17:05raptorthose are saved
02:18:59amgine123456ah ok they used to not be btw i was thinking would it be possible since there are alopt more options now to maybe increase the max nubmer of presaved loadouts? ( i was thinking 5) ( also considering possibly 9?)
02:20:40raptormaybe - you should ask watusimoto what he thinks about that - i don't really use them much..
02:23:05raptorbut we're not going to change features much more before 018
02:40:07amgine123456ok i dont know why but i hosted a level in the editor it has a asteroid spwans thats normal but the asteroids are not breaking
02:40:57amgine123456and they are going trough me like im not there but they respond to fire?
02:41:09amgine123456if oyu dont belive me come see
02:41:35amgine123456its weird this one asteroid is gltiched
02:42:34amgine123456thats was weird maybe ill see if can duplicate it
02:43:28amgine123456yes i got it to duplicate
02:44:21amgine123456 has somthing to do with having astroid spawn make the astroids fixed ( stuck in athe wall and somehow making it gltich out of th4e fixed spot
02:45:04amgine123456makes the astoird invinible
02:45:12amgine123456 come see it if oyu have a moment
02:47:42amgine123456odly enough if you shoot the where the asteroid was it will break the invicible one?
02:47:50amgine123456placment error?
02:49:09Fordcars has joined
02:49:24amgine123456hi fordcars

02:51:21amgine123456 ask sam if oyu want to know
02:51:25FordcarsWELL THANK YOU AMGINE
02:52:06Fordcarsk its just that the description of the serever is Password is your registered username
03:12:29raptornight!
03:12:31raptor Quit ()
03:31:17Fordcarsnight
03:31:22Fordcars Quit (Quit: KVIrc 4.2.0 Equilibrium http://www.kvirc.net/)
03:38:52amgine123456btw so you see this there is a important hack thats possible thats possible on a non hosted server i have seen it fordcars can comfirm it with several people doing it apprenrtly with cheat engine but anyways somwhow they make it so the computer plays for them
03:47:17sam686I don't think the "Computer plays for them" will go very far at all, probably not as good as "s_bot". But then again, several online games have a problem with something called "Aimbot"
03:51:55amgine123456well it seems when they do it makes the game play for them like a bot
03:53:32sam686Maybe some players might look like a bot, but might just be really good at the game.
03:54:10sam686players don't get stuck in the forcefield or other places like "S_BOT" does.
04:06:18amgine123456no they were getting stuck on hte forcefeilds and stuff as fordcars if you see him
04:06:31amgine123456g ask
04:12:09kodabbws Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
04:13:22sam686maybe you saw "S_BOT" as a different name...
04:13:39sam686robots can have any name, too..
04:15:30sam686when player get stuck, that player might be lagged out and might soon leave.
04:36:32amgine123456no it didnt have the symbol that indicates its a bot
04:40:03sam686It might just be a dumb player, pretending to be a bot....
04:41:18sam686the player named "Hacker" today, might just be a "CleverBot", named differently, I seen that player use all kinds of different names..
04:42:20kodaws has joined
04:59:45amgine123456btw sam i am still having difcutly trying to figure out how to host a dedicated server can you help me
04:59:59amgine123456( or anyone help)
05:01:40sam686windows version of bitfighter 018 won't be so invisible anymore when started with -dedicated
05:02:26sam686http://bitfighter.org/wiki/index.php/Hosting_a_dedicated_server_on_Windows maybe that might help somewhat..
05:06:03amgine123456its not wokring?
05:06:20sam686check server list after clicking on it..
05:06:48sam686oh,, http://bitfighter.org/bitfighterStatus.json
05:07:05amgine123456never mind it worked
05:07:35sam686you can open task manager and then you can end "Bitfighter.exe" on process list
05:07:46sam686if you want to quit mutliple ones but one
05:09:21sam686018 will be easier, as a window actually comes up on windows (unlike windows version of 017)
05:09:29amgine123456so how do i close that one and open another one
05:10:21amgine123456umm problem so i hosted a server and now i tried to open bitfighter but i got a error
05:10:30sam686only 2 ways, the easy way is to log out of windows, log in, or a better way is to use "Task Manager" (right click bottom task bar or press ctrl+alt+delete)
05:10:37amgine123456so bf is not working
05:11:36amgine123456ok bf is now broken
05:11:48sam686well, if your server is "Ping Timed Out", you usually need to go to your router, port forward UDP 28000 into your computer. I have a router I use to port forward..
05:12:22sam686Well, you need 2 shortcuts, one with -dedicated, another without dedicated for your client..
05:12:45amgine123456 so i closed all of those but now im geeting the error " this application has failed to start because openal32.ddl was not found reinstalling the application may fix this problem"
05:13:12sam686you don't copy the .exe, you create a shortcut to it instead..
05:13:52sam686or, if you copy .exe, you also need to copy .dll
05:14:35amgine123456 got it what did you say about getting the server not pinged out
05:15:14sam686port forward UDP 28000 in your router, which might be http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1
05:15:33amgine123456and how do you do that.....
05:16:34sam686depends on router, so I don't really know how each router does it.
05:16:45sam686mine looks like this: http://sam6.25u.com/upload/port_foward.PNG
05:17:15sam686but, your computer local IP address is probably different..
05:17:24amgine123456lol how did having that many tabs open not freeze your computer Xd
05:17:47amgine123456hold on ill brb
05:17:54amgine123456 Quit (Quit: Page closed)
05:17:57sam686I guess my computer can handle it with 1.5 GB ram..

22:53:33amgine123456so there is a bug if yoiu can login to the lobby with 2 of the same id even though it says it cant because it was rejected
22:54:19amgine123456luckily of course in game this acount get renamed to id.0 but in the lobby it doesnt
22:54:37amgine123456 just thought i would add that to the running bug list hi btw
22:56:07amgine123456this is for version 18 btw
22:57:07Watusimoto Quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)

23:20:06amgine123456_hi raptro did oyu see the message above
23:20:16raptorhi amgine123456_: not really a bug
23:20:44amgine123456_i would say so you cant have duplicates in hte game but can in the lobby?
23:21:29raptoryeah - in the lobby it's important to know real names
23:21:45raptori think the real bug is in the game
23:21:59amgine123456_ that could cause problems if say there was spammers which if enough people join BF trust me it will happen someday all games evtully have problems with spammers trust me it will happen
23:22:07raptorwe should probably rethink how we do the renaming
23:22:40amgine123456_ i disagree just keep the renaming the way it is and fix the lobby problem
23:22:59raptorwell, i don't think its a problem
23:23:00amgine123456_sorry im arguing again i need to stop doing that
23:23:21raptor:)
23:23:31amgine123456_you dont think its a problem somone can pretend to be somone else? oh well if you say so
23:23:45amgine123456_anywasy im stilltesting a few things i forgot to
23:23:53raptoryou cannot pretend to be an authenticated user
23:24:03raptorunless you have their credentials
23:24:08raptorwe don't care about the rest
23:24:33amgine123456_btw would it be possible to add a lougout functin to the game?
23:24:41raptormaybe
23:24:42amgine123456_ say in the menu?
23:24:54raptorthat is actually something we may do for the next release
23:25:14amgine123456_was somthing i was considering just have qa button that takes you to hte login screen
23:25:21raptorkoda needs something like that for the iOS port and it may be good for every platform
23:25:38amgine123456_ok =)
23:26:51amgine123456_btw in the verion i have of 18 if you dedicate a server the welcome to bitfighter in the command prompt pops and says is connecting to the master server i.p but thats as far as it gets is it supposed to do that im using windows xp btw
23:27:22raptori don't understand you - please use complete sentences... actually please use sentences :)
23:30:42amgine123456_sorry hold on a moment

23:35:53amgine123456_so when i opened it it doesnt load the game or is it not supposed to
23:38:03raptorok, you started a dedicated server?
23:39:15raptorthen you connected to it from another client
