| 10:18:18 | raptor | I wish I had design ability... |
| 10:18:19 | watusimoto1 | I don't love it myself... but getting desperate |
| 10:19:13 | watusimoto1 | how about a heart? |
| 10:19:19 | raptor | oh please no |
| 10:19:31 | raptor | I was able to work a little in-game last night once you finally removed it.. |
| 10:21:45 | watusimoto1 | http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Rhomus-Omnilots |
| 10:22:00 | raptor | ooooo |
| 10:22:01 | raptor | pretty |
| 10:22:08 | watusimoto1 | 7th row, 6th char... 6 triangles pointing in |
| 10:22:31 | raptor | that was similar to my idea |
| 10:22:37 | raptor | but iwth 5 or 7 |
| 10:22:59 | raptor | that's a neat font.. |
| 10:23:04 | watusimoto1 | not sure we can use this font directly, but we can use the symbol |
| 10:25:41 | bobdaduck | uh |
| 10:25:50 | bobdaduck | yeah maybe |
| 10:27:02 | raptor | do we need a drawing session?: http://www.twiddla.com/1247592 |
| 10:27:22 | watusimoto1 | Use one of these for the teleporter: |
| 10:27:23 | watusimoto1 | http://www.dafont.com/fluid-spiral.font |
| 10:27:34 | watusimoto1 | I have to go... no time to twiddla at the moment |
| 10:27:53 | raptor | oooo, i like A |
| 10:28:01 | raptor | that's cool! |
| 10:28:25 | watusimoto1 | Or these |

| 10:31:30 | watusimoto1 | http://www.dafont.com/circle-things.font <== letter "l" for goal? |
| 10:31:47 | raptor | i'm thinking it should not be drawn with textures.. |
| 10:31:54 | watusimoto1 | maybe not |
| 10:32:07 | raptor | but htese provide good design ideas |
| 10:33:28 | watusimoto1 | ok, well I gotta go. |

| 11:09:22 | thread_ | oh |
| 11:09:24 | raptor | the internet is slowly becoming sentient.. |
| 11:10:22 | thread_ | that may or may not mean anything. sentient like the cores in Portal? then I'm not really worried |
| 11:11:48 | bobdaduck | lol |
| 11:17:41 | thread_ | So the fancy dessert level show is tonight right? |
| 11:18:33 | raptor | yep |

| 11:19:16 | bobdaduck | yeah |
| 11:19:32 | thread_ | how long will it last? |
| 11:21:02 | raptor | at least until all levels are cycled through |
| 11:21:32 | bobdaduck | until three AM tomorrow |

| 11:49:03 | raptor | hi |
| 11:49:26 | Little_Apple | something about footloose's entry? |
| 11:52:12 | raptor | has the server gone up earlier than the party before? |
| 11:52:16 | Little_Apple | yep |
| 11:52:17 | raptor | contest server |
| 11:52:19 | raptor | really? |
| 11:52:21 | Little_Apple | yes |
| 11:52:25 | raptor | how much earlier? |
| 11:52:27 | Little_Apple | usually a few days before actually.. |
| 11:52:40 | raptor | hmm |
| 11:52:48 | raptor | ok, well, maybe i'll put it up when I get home |
| 11:52:53 | raptor | in a couple hours |
| 11:53:00 | Little_Apple | alrighty |
| 11:53:04 | Little_Apple | ill try to be there... |
| 11:53:16 | Little_Apple | might be a little late |
| 11:53:17 | raptor | and tell footloose to get her level to me ASAP |
| 11:53:27 | Little_Apple | shes not online on skype.. |
| 11:53:33 | Little_Apple | and was off all day yesterday |
| 11:53:41 | Little_Apple | they might have lost internet |
| 11:53:45 | Little_Apple | my server is also down.. |
| 11:53:49 | raptor | i think she needs to shift her sleeping schedule about 6 hours in the reverse direction.. |
| 11:53:51 | Little_Apple | no, its back |
| 11:53:58 | Little_Apple | haha |
| 11:54:15 | Little_Apple | she was almost nocturnal at one point.. |
| 11:54:32 | Little_Apple | like.. going to sleep at 7 |
| 11:54:34 | Little_Apple | in the morning |
| 11:56:19 | raptor | b;ah |
| 11:56:29 | raptor | that's one way to drain brain power |
| 11:57:00 | raptor | i mean, like seriously - research has just been done that shows bad sleep schedules growing up actually reduces your brain power for the rest of your life.. |
| 11:57:53 | Little_Apple | lovely |
| 12:02:09 | Little_Apple | this game is amazing.. |
| 12:02:15 | raptor | which? |

| 13:38:00 | Watusimoto | here is a proposal for ranks |
| 13:38:08 | Watusimoto | we have 9 tiers |
| 13:38:11 | raptor | MIA |
| 13:38:37 | Little_Apple | thats one big cake |
| 13:39:02 | Watusimoto | >10, > 100. > 500, > 1000, >5000, >10,000, > 15,000, > 20,000 |
| 13:39:04 | bobdaduck | SHE WAS ABDUCTED BY THE BOPS. |
| 13:39:11 | Watusimoto | below 10 you have no rank |
| 13:39:38 | Watusimoto | first 3 ranks get 1,2, or 3 red chevrons pointing up, in a stack like sgt stripes |
| 13:39:45 | Watusimoto | next 3 ranks are the same but blue |
| 13:39:51 | Watusimoto | top 3 ranks are the same but yellow |
| 13:39:56 | Watusimoto | this way it will be compact |
| 13:40:07 | Watusimoto | chevrons will be dispalyed before your name |
| 13:40:10 | Little_Apple | so like.. starfleet.. but bitfighter. bitfleet. |
| 13:40:17 | Watusimoto | by the ship and also in the scoreboard |
| 13:40:22 | Watusimoto | (maybe after your name?) |
| 13:40:44 | Little_Apple | maybe they could be displayed as a badge? |
| 13:40:46 | Watusimoto | this would be based on # games played (official or otherwise) |
| 13:40:56 | bobdaduck | Could you have like, one cheveron be green and the other two reds or something? |
| 13:41:46 | Watusimoto | according to this proposal, we'd have 1342 players > 10, 154 in tier 2, 46 in tier 3, 24 in tier 4, 3 in tier 5, and 0 in the top 3 tiers |
| 13:42:05 | Watusimoto | (top player has 8814 games) |
| 13:42:30 | Little_Apple | with the top rank you get unlimited access to nukes, correct? |
| 13:42:54 | Watusimoto | we could reduce the number of upper tiers and make the lower tiers more granular (adding a 50 and 200 category, for example) |
| 13:43:08 | Watusimoto | (maybe a 2000 category as well) |
| 13:43:25 | Watusimoto | we can continue to expand on the upper end by adding either new colors, or a brand new symbol > 10000 |
| 13:43:52 | Watusimoto | thoughts? |
| 13:43:53 | bobdaduck | I want all the cheverons to solidify into the almighty triangle |
| 13:44:04 | Little_Apple | tri-force? |
| 13:44:05 | Watusimoto | maybe > 10000 |
| 13:44:09 | Little_Apple | or trigon trifecta? |
| 13:44:13 | Watusimoto | you get the triangle |
| 13:44:13 | bobdaduck | no not a triforce fool |
| 13:44:19 | bobdaduck | Bips worship the triangle |
| 13:44:23 | Little_Apple | oh so the trigon trifecta then. |
| 13:44:24 | bobdaduck | yeah |
| 13:44:24 | Little_Apple | gotcha. |
| 13:45:35 | Watusimoto | actually, I would definitely add a 200 and 2000 tier |
| 13:45:37 | Little_Apple | so all bips worship the triangle..? |
| 13:45:41 | Little_Apple | IS BITFIGHTER A CULT? |
| 13:45:52 | bobdaduck | No. |
| 13:45:56 | bobdaduck | Its a cult-ure. |
| 13:46:02 | Little_Apple | ooooooh |
| 13:46:03 | bobdaduck | that last part is very important. |
| 13:46:05 | Little_Apple | totally different. |
| 13:47:21 | | raptor Quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) |
| 13:48:24 | Little_Apple | oh no! we killed him with out stupidity! |
| 13:48:41 | bobdaduck | What? I find this to be a very intelligent conversation. |
| 13:49:05 | Little_Apple | i think the almighty triangle did not favor him. |
| 13:49:26 | bobdaduck | He hath angered the triangle. |
| 13:50:37 | Little_Apple | this should be the plot for the 5th indiana jones. |
| 13:51:01 | Little_Apple | indiana jones... IN SPACE |
| 13:51:07 | bobdaduck | Indiana jones and the Bips |
| 13:51:19 | bobdaduck | part 1: The bops of despair |
| 13:51:27 | Little_Apple | come on george lucas. you lost star wars so this is the only thing left to do. |
| 13:51:29 | bobdaduck | .... *starts making level* |
| 13:51:47 | Little_Apple | this is pure brilliance. |

| 13:52:43 | raptor | router problems... |
| 13:52:44 | bobdaduck | ...honestly I can't quite tell |
| 13:54:55 | Little_Apple | my cuts have healed! i can flip again! |
| 13:56:36 | Watusimoto | so I see you guys love the rank proposal! |
| 13:56:58 | bobdaduck | Just make sure the almighty triangle is the highest option |
| 13:56:59 | raptor | I have a natural tendency to tune out inane conversation... ranks? |
| 13:57:18 | bobdaduck | past that its just a aesthetic feature to please the masses. |
| 13:57:22 | raptor | consensus from the channel - start the contest server?? |
| 13:57:23 | Little_Apple | the almighty triangle should be like a highlander thing. |
| 13:57:26 | Little_Apple | there can be only one! |
| 13:57:34 | bobdaduck | NO RAPTOR. |
| 13:57:38 | bobdaduck | FOOTLOOSE IS STILL MIA. |
| 13:57:48 | Little_Apple | like the almighty triangle should be given to the player on top at the time |
| 13:57:53 | bobdaduck | yeah |
| 13:58:28 | raptor | i got a badly mispelled message from her late last night saying she has a level and will submit it today... |
| 13:58:30 | Little_Apple | i just spew out genius. |
| 13:59:16 | bobdaduck | I dunno if spew would be the right word. |
| 13:59:19 | bobdaduck | Leak, perhaps. |
| 13:59:24 | Little_Apple | lol |
| 14:00:37 | Little_Apple | when are penguins being added?! |
| 14:01:09 | bobdaduck | what would a penguin do? |
| 14:01:35 | Little_Apple | a weapon... duh |
| 14:02:03 | bobdaduck | But like what would its effects be |
| 14:02:20 | Little_Apple | it slides along a wall |
| 14:02:39 | Little_Apple | forever. |
| 14:03:03 | bobdaduck | does it hurt people? |
| 14:03:13 | Little_Apple | one hit kill. |
| 14:03:21 | bobdaduck | I can do that. |
| 14:03:28 | raptor | so am I waiting for footloose? |
| 14:03:36 | bobdaduck | pretty much. |
| 14:03:42 | raptor | because she still hasn't read my message for her from last night... |
| 14:03:43 | bobdaduck | If she's not here by 5 go ahead and start it up |
| 14:03:44 | Little_Apple | awesome! |
| 14:03:54 | bobdaduck | are you sure you even sent it to her? |
| 14:04:00 | raptor | YES |
| 14:04:08 | raptor | this one is in my outbox! |
| 14:04:28 | Little_Apple | could you add it later after the server is up- no wait. then everyone would know which is nevermind no one listen to me |
| 14:04:33 | raptor | we have 15 levels! |
| 14:04:35 | Watusimoto | raptor: if you really don't know what I;m talking about see this: |
| 14:04:37 | Watusimoto | http://pastie.org/8156590 |
| 14:04:44 | Watusimoto | ignore all the bobdaduck and Little_Apple junk |
| 14:05:12 | Little_Apple | junk?? |
| 14:05:15 | Little_Apple | wisdom! |
| 14:05:21 | Watusimoto | though I've kind of given up on getting any constructive feedback from this group today! |
| 14:05:35 | bobdaduck | Its an aesthetic feature. |
| 14:05:40 | raptor | ranks based on games played? |
| 14:05:53 | bobdaduck | It doesn't actually really DO anything. There's not a whole lot to give feedback about. |
| 14:06:03 | bobdaduck | Its a good implementation, yes. |
| 14:06:09 | raptor | would these be little indicators next to player's names? |
| 14:06:12 | raptor | in-game? |
| 14:06:14 | raptor | or elsewhere.. |
| 14:06:20 | bobdaduck | bobdaduck ^ |
| 14:06:37 | bobdaduck | Oh. |
| 14:06:38 | bobdaduck | Yeah um |
| 14:06:40 | Little_Apple | why not badges? |
| 14:06:43 | bobdaduck | it might look weird when you stop to chat |
| 14:06:50 | bobdaduck | <<bobdaduck^> |
| 14:06:56 | Watusimoto | in game, in scoreboard |
| 14:07:07 | Watusimoto | maybe eventually in forums |
| 14:08:15 | Little_Apple | whyyyyy nooooot baaadgesssss |
| 14:09:11 | bobdaduck | LA has a point. It is redundant. |
| 14:09:41 | raptor | <raptorʭ> |
| 14:10:23 | | Flynnn has joined |
| 14:10:29 | Watusimoto | why chevrons and not bades? is that the question? |
| 14:11:00 | Little_Apple | yes. |
| 14:11:18 | Little_Apple | like, a badge with chevrons |
| 14:11:40 | bobdaduck | or just a badge with a number or something. |
| 14:12:56 | Little_Apple | or a portrait of general macarthur with a corncob pipe! |
| 14:12:57 | bobdaduck | footloose has awoken. |
| 14:13:21 | Little_Apple | im on it. |
| 14:13:31 | bobdaduck | I already did |
| 14:13:32 | bobdaduck | xD |
| 14:13:40 | Little_Apple | woohoo |
| 14:14:47 | Little_Apple | i wanna see dem fancy desserts! |
| 14:14:51 | Watusimoto | it *could* be a badge, but the idea is to provide recognition to dedicated players, and let others identifiy vetrans at site |
| 14:14:52 | Watusimoto | sight |
| 14:15:04 | Watusimoto | badges are less suited for that |
| 14:15:10 | bobdaduck | true. |
| 14:15:26 | Little_Apple | they would use existing stats, correct? |
| 14:15:38 | raptor | i like the idea of insignia if it's small |
| 14:16:03 | raptor | nothing blantant |
| 14:16:10 | bobdaduck | yeah. |
| 14:16:11 | Little_Apple | perhaps a slightly larger badge thats closest to the name? |
| 14:17:16 | bobdaduck | Or an earlier idea was to modify the ships slightly. |
| 14:17:27 | bobdaduck | What if... We changed the hull color? |
| 14:17:32 | Little_Apple | and if the player with the almighty triangle joins a server they get admin power and one shot kill phasers. |
| 14:20:02 | raptor | what about a 8x8 block next to the users name dedicated to a green insignia |
| 14:20:14 | raptor | or maybe gold |
| 14:20:18 | raptor | in-game |
| 14:20:31 | Little_Apple | SHE SENT IT |
| 14:20:41 | bobdaduck | she sent it |
| 14:21:20 | raptor | 16 levels! |
| 14:21:29 | Little_Apple | woohoo! |
| 14:21:34 | raptor | let me do some testing... |
| 14:21:36 | Watusimoto | excellent |
| 14:21:50 | Watusimoto | zemmer and invisible will be getting up at 3Am to play |
| 14:22:01 | Watusimoto | blech |
| 14:22:11 | raptor | ha! |
| 14:22:13 | Little_Apple | amazing |
| 14:22:30 | bobdaduck | lol |
| 14:22:47 | raptor | let me do some last minute sanity checks before I stand up the server... |
| 14:22:58 | bobdaduck | lol |
| 14:25:46 | Little_Apple | i guess i should make a post on the g+ page.. |
| 14:26:12 | bobdaduck | yeah same. |
| 14:26:13 | bobdaduck | xD |
| 14:26:17 | bobdaduck | I'LL GET TO IT |
| 14:26:26 | raptor | not yet! |
| 14:26:43 | raptor | I have to make sure the server is kaen-looped |
| 14:27:05 | raptor | so when the scripted entries take down the server it'll resurrect |
| 14:27:50 | bobdaduck | lol |
| 14:30:51 | raptor | how do I allow all level change? |
| 14:30:55 | raptor | just no password? |
| 14:31:31 | Little_Apple | with vote? |
| 14:31:40 | raptor | nah... no voting |
| 14:31:47 | Little_Apple | yes! |
| 14:32:07 | raptor | 'yes!' for what? |
| 14:32:15 | Little_Apple | yes for chaos! |
| 14:32:33 | raptor | ok... what are people suggestions? |
| 14:32:40 | raptor | oh wait |
| 14:32:43 | raptor | i always put on a password |
| 14:32:45 | raptor | nevermind |
| 14:32:50 | Little_Apple | gg! |
| 14:34:00 | bobdaduck | _K usually used dates |
| 14:34:20 | bobdaduck | like 0713 |
| 14:34:22 | Little_Apple | like.. his ex? |
| 14:34:27 | Little_Apple | *badumtsh* |
| 14:36:31 | raptor | yeah, so... in case anyone wants to know... CONTEST SERVER UP |
| 14:37:22 | bobdaduck | lol |
| 15:10:41 | bobdaduck | kaen around? |
| 15:28:22 | raptor | Watusimoto: you should see this one... |
| 15:29:54 | | koda Quit (Quit: K Thx Bai) |
| 15:34:26 | Watusimoto | raptor: is that message current? |
| 15:34:35 | raptor | uh no |
| 15:34:43 | Watusimoto | that is an intersting mechanic |
| 15:34:45 | Watusimoto | those lines |
| 15:35:59 | bobdaduck | Attention, everyone. |
| 15:36:07 | bobdaduck | I have just written a fanfic. |
| 15:36:09 | bobdaduck | That is all. |
| 15:36:39 | raptor | I have to say that one level with the bots is really crazy |
| 15:37:55 | raptor | man... now I have to put up the post... |
| 15:37:57 | raptor | sigh |
| 15:38:01 | Little_Apple | repairbots should be illegal. like. federal law illegal. |
| 15:38:14 | raptor | they're boogers |
| 15:38:21 | raptor | but they don't shield! |
| 15:38:25 | raptor | :) |
| 15:46:29 | Watusimoto | they should not be used on levels with self-repairing items |
| 15:48:53 | bobdaduck | I'ma head home |
| 15:48:59 | bobdaduck | get on the contest server in like 10 min |

| 16:10:17 | Watusimoto | raptor, quick question |
| 16:10:23 | | bobdaduck has joined |
| 16:10:23 | Watusimoto | maybe you don't knwo the answer |
| 16:10:41 | Watusimoto | I need to modify the master, and one of the m2s queries |
| 16:11:04 | Watusimoto | just writing this is suggestint the answer |
| 16:11:05 | raptor | ok |
| 16:11:11 | raptor | k |
| 16:11:30 | Watusimoto | I think Ill need to creaet a parallel method, and use versioning to determine which to use |
| 16:12:15 | Watusimoto | and give the new version a new version number in the protocol |
| 16:12:37 | Watusimoto | does that seem right? |
| 16:13:07 | Watusimoto | that way master would still be able to communicate with older clients |
| 16:13:29 | raptor | master is already using 019 code |
| 16:13:34 | raptor | yes |
| 16:13:54 | Watusimoto | but I will need to maintain 2 copies of my method |
| 16:13:55 | raptor | i use the protocol version for logic changes |
| 16:14:02 | Watusimoto | until all the 018a clients are gone |
| 16:14:21 | raptor | not unless the signature is different.. |
| 16:14:22 | Watusimoto | one without the new param for 018a, one with the new param for 019 |
| 16:14:42 | Watusimoto | the signature is different |
| 16:14:51 | Watusimoto | I need to return an additional value in 019 |
| 16:15:43 | Watusimoto | can I have 2 copies of the same method with different protocol numbers? |
| 16:15:48 | Watusimoto | maybe that will work |
| 16:15:53 | Watusimoto | that would be a tad cleaner |
| 16:18:24 | raptor | i think we should at least support protocols for one version of bitfighter in the past |
| 16:18:55 | raptor | and at least some basic one for *all* clients telling them to upgrade... |
| 16:23:05 | Watusimoto | agreed |
| 16:25:05 | raptor | i think I updated the master protocol number since 018a, so you shouldn't need to again... |
| 16:25:08 | raptor | (i'll check) |
| 16:26:10 | raptor | nope! |
| 16:26:11 | raptor | i didn't |
| 16:26:17 | raptor | so you'll probably need to update it.. |
| 16:41:49 | | Little_Apple Quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) |
| 16:41:50 | Watusimoto | I guess I cannot have two m2s methods side-by-side that differ only by signature and protocol |
| 16:43:19 | raptor | new method! |
| 16:46:20 | Watusimoto | s2mRequestAuthentication and s2mRequestAuthentication2 |
| 16:46:22 | Watusimoto | yuck! |
| 16:46:42 | Watusimoto | I *thought* there was a way to keep the names the same |
| 16:48:33 | | Nothing_Much Quit (Quit: l8r) |
| 16:48:41 | Watusimoto | if we have two different method names, what does the version do? |
| 16:48:42 | raptor | hmmm |
| 16:49:05 | raptor | the version in the TNL_DECLARE_RPC... ? |
| 16:49:10 | raptor | or the protocol version? |
| 16:49:20 | Watusimoto | in the TNL_* |
| 16:49:43 | Watusimoto | I use protolc version like this: |
| 16:49:45 | Watusimoto | if(mCMProtocolVersion <= 6) // 018a ==> 6, 019 ==> 7 |
| 16:49:45 | Watusimoto | m2sSetAuthenticated(id, walk->mPlayerOrServerName, status, walk->getBadges()); |
| 16:49:45 | Watusimoto | else |
| 16:49:45 | Watusimoto | m2sSetAuthenticated(id, walk->mPlayerOrServerName, status, walk->getBadges(), walk->getGamesPlayed()); |
| 16:50:00 | Watusimoto | that is straightforward |
| 16:50:09 | raptor | hmmm... |
| 16:50:20 | Watusimoto | but it appears I need to rename my m2sSetAuthenticated method for 019 |
| 16:50:21 | raptor | i'm trying to remember, but I'm watching the kids... |
| 16:50:28 | Watusimoto | no worries |
| 16:50:40 | Watusimoto | I'll get it to work |
| 16:51:33 | Watusimoto | tomorrow, as I'm falling asleep... |
| 16:51:49 | Watusimoto | good level collection for the contest, btw |
| 16:51:53 | raptor | ok |
| 16:51:58 | raptor | yes! |
| 16:52:10 | Watusimoto | I am certain of the authroship of 3 of them |
| 16:52:25 | Watusimoto | always a fun game, the guessing |

| 16:54:07 | raptor | two hours and your kids get up! |
| 16:54:17 | Watusimoto | I;ll be interested to hear how the lines work in a game that is unlaggy |
| 16:54:40 | raptor | yeah... very badly... and because client-side prediction doesn't want to go through walls.. |
| 16:54:40 | Watusimoto | if it is a good mechanism, we could add it in to the game properly, with client-side prediction |
| 16:55:31 | Watusimoto | it probably works well enough as-is to see if it is fun, or just a one-off novelty |
| 16:56:06 | Watusimoto | but I could see levels where you had to get on one of those to access an area, but that made you vulnerable to attack before you got there |
