02:36:16 Little_Apple im not sure what you mean
02:36:37 YoshiSmb say what but you find
02:36:41 YoshiSmb bug
02:37:10 Little_Apple in nexus you sometimes randomly spawn using the other teams spawn point
02:37:29 sam686 anything you don't say here, won't be able to be read by several bitfighter developers...
02:37:45 Little_Apple i posted it on the forums
02:37:58 sam686 (or the forums)  but i can look at that..

05:22:17 LoneWolfy hai
05:23:01 raptor To tell you the truth, I haven't played with it much since it changed for 018
05:23:07 LoneWolfy oh
05:23:12 raptor but here is a starting page that watusimoto put up:  http://bitfighter.org/wiki/index.php/Scripting_018

12:51:46 YoshiSmb how are you watusimoto?
12:51:51 watusimoto tired
12:51:57 watusimoto I was out late last night
12:52:03 YoshiSmb yep
12:52:28 YoshiSmb i was a little worried about my family '_'
12:52:59 YoshiSmb and same with me. i was a little tired the last night
12:54:37 Martinski has joined
12:55:07 Martinski hello watusimoto
12:55:12 watusimoto hi
12:55:17 Martinski I feel very bad, because I'll have to unclaim the task
12:55:24 Martinski I started a project with my programming teacher
12:55:24 watusimoto really?
12:55:27 Martinski so I'll have no time
12:55:32 Martinski to finish this task
12:55:46 YoshiSmb ...
12:55:47 watusimoto that's too bad... you're really close
12:55:53 Martinski To do it, I have to learn lots of new things and I don't have time for this
12:56:00 Martinski Yes I know, I feel very bad now ...
12:56:00 watusimoto ok
12:56:13 YoshiSmb fell better later
12:56:23 watusimoto well, post what you've got, and it will get finished somehow
12:56:33 watusimoto so you can at least feel good you got things rolling
12:56:46 Martinski ok, I'll upload the script
12:56:53 watusimoto great; thanks
12:57:25 watusimoto and just an open invitation... if you ever feel like hacking a bit on the Bitfighter source, you're always welcome
12:57:58 Martinski thank you and in my opinion the Bitfighter is the best project for GCI from copyleft
12:58:09 Martinski and you and raptor are my favourites among the mentors ;)
12:58:19 watusimoto really?  well that's great!
12:58:24 watusimoto thank you
12:58:48 Martinski yes, I had problems with other mentors
12:58:56 Martinski but you are working perfect with the participants
12:59:08 watusimoto I'm glad you think so
13:01:20 Martinski by the way, if nobody takes the task in several days, I'll try again :D
13:01:29 watusimoto ok, sounds good
13:07:37 Martinski bye for now, hope to see you soon :)
13:08:48 watusimoto Martinski:
13:08:54 watusimoto I can't access that file you uploaded!
13:08:57 Martinski yes ?
13:08:59 Martinski oh
13:09:04 Martinski second
13:09:08 Martinski I forgot to share it ;d
13:09:24 watusimoto if you can, make it public
13:09:51 Martinski try now ?
13:10:01 Darrel has joined
13:10:23 watusimoto ok, I think I have it.  Just the one py file, right?
13:10:30 Martinski yes
13:10:36 watusimoto ok.  thanks!
13:10:54 Martinski there are some unused comments in it, but they're not a problem
13:10:56 Martinski no problem
13:10:57 Martinski :)
13:10:58 Martinski bye now
13:11:02 watusimoto bye

14:44:59 raptor hello from texas!
14:45:36 watusimoto hey there!
14:47:26 raptor i
14:47:28 raptor hi
14:48:04 raptor so i introduced bitfighter to my brother-in-law - his first comment "it's pretty"
14:48:16 raptor his second comment:  "this is a fun game"
14:48:16 watusimoto great!  (I think...)
14:48:29 watusimoto "pretty" may mean something idfferent in texas
14:48:29 raptor so, our game can't be that bad...
14:48:34 raptor haha
14:48:52 raptor meant it looked good
14:48:58 watusimoto :-)
14:49:26 watusimoto I've had office events the past two evenings, so the bug list is still longer than I'd like (but shorter than when you left)
14:49:46 watusimoto martinski has given up on the toaster
14:49:54 raptor i just read that
14:49:59 raptor he gave it a good go
14:50:14 watusimoto he got off on the wrong track, I think
14:50:27 watusimoto pywxwhatever has its own control loop
14:50:39 watusimoto and he couldn't figure out how to get his code to run in that framework
14:50:43 raptor yuk
14:50:56 watusimoto I think it's really easy, actually
14:51:09 watusimoto just create a timer event that, when it fires, checks the json and then pops up a toaster if needed
14:51:25 watusimoto but I think he couldn't wrap his head around that fully
14:51:30 YoshiSmb hi
14:51:32 raptor yeah, that's what i'd do, too
14:51:35 raptor hi YoshiSmb
14:51:39 watusimoto hi again
14:51:41 raptor added a new bug
14:51:48 watusimoto excellent!
14:51:53 YoshiSmb i found a bug. but i forgot it
14:52:00 raptor the carrot isn't the right color
14:52:14 YoshiSmb maybe. i dont remember
14:52:17 watusimoto I also removed the ubuntu install instructions from the website because they don't appear to work anymore
14:52:23 YoshiSmb maybe. i dont remember
14:52:34 raptor watusimoto: really?  you mean the ocmpile instructions?
14:52:43 watusimoto no, the playdeb ones
14:52:55 watusimoto I didn't check the compile ones -- those probably are still good
14:52:59 raptor oh, have they not updated yet?
14:53:04 raptor hmmm
14:53:07 watusimoto I think they're off the air
14:53:32 watusimoto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2092713
14:53:55 watusimoto The server is currently down because of a power outage with hardware failure. Please be patient.
14:54:08 watusimoto is what it says on th eplaydeb google+ page
14:54:18 raptor they're done for...
14:54:26 watusimoto I wonder if they were in NYC
14:56:28 raptor well great...   this means i should package for ubuntu somehow...  ugh
14:56:36 watusimoto not until after your vacation
14:58:32 watusimoto maybe we shoudl figure out how to add a ubuntu repository on bitfighter.org so we can do the ubuntu builds as part of our release process
15:03:27 raptor wow!  high praise from a GCI student!
15:03:33 watusimoto indeed
15:04:05 watusimoto I added a Ubuntu note to our downloads page
15:04:59 raptor if i build an ubuntu build - could we spare the bandwidth to host it on the master server?
15:05:08 watusimoto of course
15:05:17 watusimoto we're very low on our bandwidth
15:05:21 raptor ok, i think i can manage easy enough...
15:05:32 watusimoto if things got tight, we could host it on eykamp.com as well
15:05:52 watusimoto but, after some quick research, it looks like you need to use launchpad.
15:05:58 watusimoto I tried this once, and got angry :-)
15:06:09 raptor i can use OBS!
15:06:17 watusimoto obs?
15:06:57 watusimoto you already built a debian package.  might that work?
15:07:10 raptor it does!
15:07:15 raptor OBS = open build service
15:07:19 watusimoto ah
15:07:23 raptor cross-;atform distro builder
15:07:39 raptor *platform
15:07:41 watusimoto is that how you built the other packages?
15:07:44 raptor yes
15:07:52 watusimoto then it should be easy, no?
15:08:39 raptor oh yes
15:08:43 raptor (i think)
15:10:06 watusimoto Is there a Mint build option?  :-)
15:11:16 YoshiSmb linux mint 12
15:11:43 YoshiSmb ?
15:11:56 raptor actually - mint *is* ubuntu
15:11:57 watusimoto so they say
15:12:06 watusimoto and ubuntu is debian, no?
15:12:06 YoshiSmb yep. Linux mint is based on ubuntu
15:12:20 raptor yes
15:12:21 raptor so
15:12:50 raptor once i get my broken debian package to compile, you could probably drop it in for ubuntu/mint
15:12:54 watusimoto https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?blocked=0&building=0&dispatching=0&finished=0&pkgname=bitfighter&project=games&scheduled=0&signing=0&succeeded=0
15:13:04 watusimoto ah, I see you are already aware of this
15:13:35 raptor yes!
15:14:03 watusimoto ok, well, it really can wait until you get back
15:18:12 CrazyLinuxNerd has joined
15:20:53 raptor nah!  i'm on vacation!
15:20:59 raptor stress-free work!
15:24:46 watusimoto ha
15:25:01 raptor don't worry, i'm going dark in 2 days

16:14:05 raptor ok, talking with someone from the open build service about compiling for debian - once i get that build fixed, ubuntu should shortly follow
16:20:56 YoshiSmb Quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)
16:27:17 watusimoto fun fun~
16:27:18 watusimoto !
16:27:45 watusimoto speaking of whihc, I have the /idle bugs 95% fixed
16:28:30 raptor hooray!
16:28:43 watusimoto yes, it's been a blast!
16:28:47 raptor i fixed the editor fullscreen bug right before i left on the road..
16:30:20 watusimoto I saw -- great
16:31:00 watusimoto the /idle bug was (mainly) that the game suspended itself when everyone went idle (and one idle player quit), and it had no way to unsuspend
16:31:21 raptor was that what was meant "something bad happens" ?
16:31:32 raptor i think sam wrote that, and wasn't sure...
16:34:55 watusimoto I wrote that
16:35:01 watusimoto I didn't know what happened
16:35:10 watusimoto it was a report made from a vague comment you made
16:35:29 watusimoto the key is that one of the /idled players needed to quit the game
16:35:34 watusimoto I almost didn't find it

16:45:43 bobdaduck has joined
16:45:49 bobdaduck guys
16:45:53 bobdaduck bros
16:45:55 bobdaduck my homies
16:46:00 raptor hello
16:46:07 bobdaduck the /getmap command doesn't download levelgen scripts.
16:46:17 raptor oh yeah...
16:46:57 bobdaduck I'm trying to make a level
16:47:00 raptor umm - look here:  http://sam6.25u.com/bitfighter/levels/
16:47:05 bobdaduck with a levelgen script for the contest
16:47:20 bobdaduck but I dunno how.
16:47:52 bobdaduck How would I make it so when a ship crosses a zone, it selects a player in the map currently, displays their name in a textitem, and teleports the player to another room?
16:48:55 raptor oh wow - you have high ambitions!
16:49:32 raptor i haven't actually played much with it..
16:52:32 watusimoto I have
16:53:00 watusimoto so there might be a ship enters zone event
16:53:29 watusimoto (latest docs are here... pretty ugly, but completish)
16:53:30 watusimoto http://bitfighter.org/luadocs/index.html
16:53:57 watusimoto Events are here
16:53:58 watusimoto http://bitfighter.org/luadocs/index.html
16:54:03 watusimoto oops
16:54:24 watusimoto click on enums > Event
16:54:41 watusimoto so yes: Event.ShipEnteredZone
16:55:18 bobdaduck how might I teleport them?  I was thinking spawn a teleporter on them and then destroy the teleporter, if that's possible.
16:55:32 watusimoto do you want the name of the player who entered the zone or a random player?
16:56:09 watusimoto the shipEnteredZone event will give you the ship that entered the zone
16:56:18 watusimoto (and you can create invisible zones if you want)
16:56:18 bobdaduck a random player, and I want the script to only trigger if the one player is there.
16:56:39 bobdaduck (I've seen the invisible zones, yes.)
16:59:05 watusimoto ok... I think you can get a list of all the ships in the level with the findAllItems method  (in a levelgen it might be levelgen:findAllItems(ObjType.ShipItem)... maybe
16:59:13 watusimoto (going from memory here)
16:59:26 watusimoto you can then pick one randomly
17:00:25 watusimoto then do a Ship:setLoc(newx, newy)
17:00:35 watusimoto and they *should* appear in the new location
17:01:40 watusimoto the lua stuff got kind of pushed out prematurely because we wanted ot get a release done this century
17:01:49 watusimoto so its still rough
17:02:03 watusimoto but I *think* what you want to do will work
17:02:26 bobdaduck I can't mess around with it at the moment because I'm not home.
17:02:36 watusimoto ping me tonight and we can try to work it through in more detail
17:02:48 bobdaduck Alright
17:03:10 watusimoto I'm not sure if changing the text of a textitem will get pushed out to the clients
17:03:16 watusimoto (although I'd say it should)
17:03:38 watusimoto if not, we'll add it for 019, and you can create a new textitem with the text you want.  that should work

23:02:57 bobdaduck Tomorrow I'll ask about the levelgen scripts though.
23:04:01 CrazyLinuxNerd wow bobdaduck got a date :-O
23:04:03 CrazyLinuxNerd lol kidding :-)
23:04:24 CrazyLinuxNerd did you sort those ads out?
23:04:35 CrazyLinuxNerd or decide what your doing with them?
23:05:03 bobdaduck Not yet.
23:05:19 bobdaduck On hold for the moment because finals.
23:05:30 CrazyLinuxNerd fair enough :-)
23:05:37 bobdaduck Also I'm going to make the most awesome level ever for the contest but I need to figure out the levelgen scripts first.
23:06:16 CrazyLinuxNerd careful about saying "most awesome" because if i make a level, it won't be :-P haha, don't worry though i'm not making any levels :-D
23:07:05 YoshiSmb Quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
23:08:08 bobdaduck It will be if I can pull off my vision.
23:08:22 bobdaduck I'll need a bit of help for the levelgen scripts though.  Haven't programmed in upwards of a year.
23:08:39 CrazyLinuxNerd Lua is pretty simple really tbh
23:08:50 YoshiSmb has joined
23:09:03 bobdaduck Yeah probably.  Testing and everything though, not sure I can get it ready for the contest in time.
23:09:06 CrazyLinuxNerd (language used for levelgen)
23:09:10 bobdaduck ANYWAY seeyallround.

12:51:46	YoshiSmb	how are you watusimoto?
12:51:51	watusimoto	tired
12:51:57	watusimoto	I was out late last night
12:52:03	YoshiSmb	yep
12:52:28	YoshiSmb	i was a little worried about my family '_'
12:52:59	YoshiSmb	and same with me. i was a little tired the last night
12:54:37		Martinski has joined
12:55:07	Martinski	hello watusimoto
12:55:12	watusimoto	hi
12:55:17	Martinski	I feel very bad, because I'll have to unclaim the task
12:55:24	Martinski	I started a project with my programming teacher
12:55:24	watusimoto	really?
12:55:27	Martinski	so I'll have no time
12:55:32	Martinski	to finish this task
12:55:46	YoshiSmb	...
12:55:47	watusimoto	that's too bad... you're really close
12:55:53	Martinski	To do it, I have to learn lots of new things and I don't have time for this
12:56:00	Martinski	Yes I know, I feel very bad now ...
12:56:00	watusimoto	ok
12:56:13	YoshiSmb	fell better later
12:56:23	watusimoto	well, post what you've got, and it will get finished somehow
12:56:33	watusimoto	so you can at least feel good you got things rolling
12:56:46	Martinski	ok, I'll upload the script
12:56:53	watusimoto	great; thanks
12:57:25	watusimoto	and just an open invitation... if you ever feel like hacking a bit on the Bitfighter source, you're always welcome
12:57:58	Martinski	thank you and in my opinion the Bitfighter is the best project for GCI from copyleft
12:58:09	Martinski	and you and raptor are my favourites among the mentors ;)
12:58:19	watusimoto	really? well that's great!
12:58:24	watusimoto	thank you
12:58:48	Martinski	yes, I had problems with other mentors
12:58:56	Martinski	but you are working perfect with the participants
12:59:08	watusimoto	I'm glad you think so
13:01:20	Martinski	by the way, if nobody takes the task in several days, I'll try again :D
13:01:29	watusimoto	ok, sounds good
13:07:37	Martinski	bye for now, hope to see you soon :)
13:08:48	watusimoto	Martinski:
13:08:54	watusimoto	I can't access that file you uploaded!
13:08:57	Martinski	yes ?
13:08:59	Martinski	oh
13:09:04	Martinski	second
13:09:08	Martinski	I forgot to share it ;d
13:09:24	watusimoto	if you can, make it public
13:09:51	Martinski	try now ?
13:10:01		Darrel has joined
13:10:23	watusimoto	ok, I think I have it. Just the one py file, right?
13:10:30	Martinski	yes
13:10:36	watusimoto	ok. thanks!
13:10:54	Martinski	there are some unused comments in it, but they're not a problem
13:10:56	Martinski	no problem
13:10:57	Martinski	:)
13:10:58	Martinski	bye now

14:44:59	raptor	hello from texas!
14:45:36	watusimoto	hey there!
14:47:26	raptor	i
14:47:28	raptor	hi
14:48:04	raptor	so i introduced bitfighter to my brother-in-law - his first comment "it's pretty"
14:48:16	raptor	his second comment: "this is a fun game"
14:48:16	watusimoto	great! (I think...)
14:48:29	watusimoto	"pretty" may mean something idfferent in texas
14:48:29	raptor	so, our game can't be that bad...
14:48:34	raptor	haha
14:48:52	raptor	meant it looked good
14:48:58	watusimoto	:-)
14:49:26	watusimoto	I've had office events the past two evenings, so the bug list is still longer than I'd like (but shorter than when you left)
14:49:46	watusimoto	martinski has given up on the toaster
14:49:54	raptor	i just read that
14:49:59	raptor	he gave it a good go
14:50:14	watusimoto	he got off on the wrong track, I think
14:50:27	watusimoto	pywxwhatever has its own control loop
14:50:39	watusimoto	and he couldn't figure out how to get his code to run in that framework
14:50:43	raptor	yuk
14:50:56	watusimoto	I think it's really easy, actually
14:51:09	watusimoto	just create a timer event that, when it fires, checks the json and then pops up a toaster if needed
14:51:25	watusimoto	but I think he couldn't wrap his head around that fully
14:51:30	YoshiSmb	hi
14:51:32	raptor	yeah, that's what i'd do, too
14:51:35	raptor	hi YoshiSmb
14:51:39	watusimoto	hi again
14:51:41	raptor	added a new bug
14:51:48	watusimoto	excellent!
14:51:53	YoshiSmb	i found a bug. but i forgot it
14:52:00	raptor	the carrot isn't the right color
14:52:14	YoshiSmb	maybe. i dont remember
14:52:17	watusimoto	I also removed the ubuntu install instructions from the website because they don't appear to work anymore
14:52:23	YoshiSmb	maybe. i dont remember
14:52:34	raptor	watusimoto: really? you mean the ocmpile instructions?
14:52:43	watusimoto	no, the playdeb ones
14:52:55	watusimoto	I didn't check the compile ones -- those probably are still good
14:52:59	raptor	oh, have they not updated yet?
14:53:04	raptor	hmmm
14:53:07	watusimoto	I think they're off the air
14:53:32	watusimoto	http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2092713
14:53:55	watusimoto	The server is currently down because of a power outage with hardware failure. Please be patient.
14:54:08	watusimoto	is what it says on th eplaydeb google+ page
14:54:18	raptor	they're done for...
14:54:26	watusimoto	I wonder if they were in NYC
14:56:28	raptor	well great... this means i should package for ubuntu somehow... ugh
14:56:36	watusimoto	not until after your vacation
14:58:32	watusimoto	maybe we shoudl figure out how to add a ubuntu repository on bitfighter.org so we can do the ubuntu builds as part of our release process
15:03:27	raptor	wow! high praise from a GCI student!
15:03:33	watusimoto	indeed
15:04:05	watusimoto	I added a Ubuntu note to our downloads page
15:04:59	raptor	if i build an ubuntu build - could we spare the bandwidth to host it on the master server?
15:05:08	watusimoto	of course
15:05:17	watusimoto	we're very low on our bandwidth
15:05:21	raptor	ok, i think i can manage easy enough...
15:05:32	watusimoto	if things got tight, we could host it on eykamp.com as well
15:05:52	watusimoto	but, after some quick research, it looks like you need to use launchpad.
15:05:58	watusimoto	I tried this once, and got angry :-)
15:06:09	raptor	i can use OBS!
15:06:17	watusimoto	obs?
15:06:57	watusimoto	you already built a debian package. might that work?
15:07:10	raptor	it does!
15:07:15	raptor	OBS = open build service
15:07:19	watusimoto	ah
15:07:23	raptor	cross-;atform distro builder
15:07:39	raptor	*platform
15:07:41	watusimoto	is that how you built the other packages?
15:07:44	raptor	yes
15:07:52	watusimoto	then it should be easy, no?
15:08:39	raptor	oh yes
15:08:43	raptor	(i think)
15:10:06	watusimoto	Is there a Mint build option? :-)
15:11:16	YoshiSmb	linux mint 12
15:11:43	YoshiSmb	?
15:11:56	raptor	actually - mint is ubuntu
15:11:57	watusimoto	so they say
15:12:06	watusimoto	and ubuntu is debian, no?
15:12:06	YoshiSmb	yep. Linux mint is based on ubuntu
15:12:20	raptor	yes
15:12:21	raptor	so
15:12:50	raptor	once i get my broken debian package to compile, you could probably drop it in for ubuntu/mint
15:12:54	watusimoto	https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?blocked=0&building=0&dispatching=0&finished=0&pkgname=bitfighter&project=games&scheduled=0&signing=0&succeeded=0
15:13:04	watusimoto	ah, I see you are already aware of this

16:27:17	watusimoto	fun fun~
16:27:18	watusimoto	!
16:27:45	watusimoto	speaking of whihc, I have the /idle bugs 95% fixed
16:28:30	raptor	hooray!
16:28:43	watusimoto	yes, it's been a blast!
16:28:47	raptor	i fixed the editor fullscreen bug right before i left on the road..
16:30:20	watusimoto	I saw -- great
16:31:00	watusimoto	the /idle bug was (mainly) that the game suspended itself when everyone went idle (and one idle player quit), and it had no way to unsuspend
16:31:21	raptor	was that what was meant "something bad happens" ?
16:31:32	raptor	i think sam wrote that, and wasn't sure...
16:34:55	watusimoto	I wrote that
16:35:01	watusimoto	I didn't know what happened
16:35:10	watusimoto	it was a report made from a vague comment you made
16:35:29	watusimoto	the key is that one of the /idled players needed to quit the game
16:35:34	watusimoto	I almost didn't find it

16:45:53	bobdaduck	bros
16:45:55	bobdaduck	my homies
16:46:00	raptor	hello
16:46:07	bobdaduck	the /getmap command doesn't download levelgen scripts.
16:46:17	raptor	oh yeah...
16:46:57	bobdaduck	I'm trying to make a level
16:47:00	raptor	umm - look here: http://sam6.25u.com/bitfighter/levels/
16:47:05	bobdaduck	with a levelgen script for the contest
16:47:20	bobdaduck	but I dunno how.
16:47:52	bobdaduck	How would I make it so when a ship crosses a zone, it selects a player in the map currently, displays their name in a textitem, and teleports the player to another room?
16:48:55	raptor	oh wow - you have high ambitions!
16:49:32	raptor	i haven't actually played much with it..
16:52:32	watusimoto	I have
16:53:00	watusimoto	so there might be a ship enters zone event
16:53:29	watusimoto	(latest docs are here... pretty ugly, but completish)
16:53:30	watusimoto	http://bitfighter.org/luadocs/index.html
16:53:57	watusimoto	Events are here
16:53:58	watusimoto	http://bitfighter.org/luadocs/index.html
16:54:03	watusimoto	oops
16:54:24	watusimoto	click on enums > Event
16:54:41	watusimoto	so yes: Event.ShipEnteredZone
16:55:18	bobdaduck	how might I teleport them? I was thinking spawn a teleporter on them and then destroy the teleporter, if that's possible.
16:55:32	watusimoto	do you want the name of the player who entered the zone or a random player?
16:56:09	watusimoto	the shipEnteredZone event will give you the ship that entered the zone
16:56:18	watusimoto	(and you can create invisible zones if you want)
16:56:18	bobdaduck	a random player, and I want the script to only trigger if the one player is there.
16:56:39	bobdaduck	(I've seen the invisible zones, yes.)
16:59:05	watusimoto	ok... I think you can get a list of all the ships in the level with the findAllItems method (in a levelgen it might be levelgen:findAllItems(ObjType.ShipItem)... maybe
16:59:13	watusimoto	(going from memory here)
16:59:26	watusimoto	you can then pick one randomly
17:00:25	watusimoto	then do a Ship:setLoc(newx, newy)
17:00:35	watusimoto	and they should appear in the new location
17:01:40	watusimoto	the lua stuff got kind of pushed out prematurely because we wanted ot get a release done this century
17:01:49	watusimoto	so its still rough
17:02:03	watusimoto	but I think what you want to do will work
17:02:26	bobdaduck	I can't mess around with it at the moment because I'm not home.
17:02:36	watusimoto	ping me tonight and we can try to work it through in more detail
17:02:48	bobdaduck	Alright
17:03:10	watusimoto	I'm not sure if changing the text of a textitem will get pushed out to the clients
17:03:16	watusimoto	(although I'd say it should)
17:03:38	watusimoto	if not, we'll add it for 019, and you can create a new textitem with the text you want. that should work

23:04:03	CrazyLinuxNerd	lol kidding :-)
23:04:24	CrazyLinuxNerd	did you sort those ads out?

23:05:19	bobdaduck	On hold for the moment because finals.
23:05:30	CrazyLinuxNerd	fair enough :-)
23:05:37	bobdaduck	Also I'm going to make the most awesome level ever for the contest but I need to figure out the levelgen scripts first.
23:06:16	CrazyLinuxNerd	careful about saying "most awesome" because if i make a level, it won't be :-P haha, don't worry though i'm not making any levels :-D
