03:05:48amgine123hi
03:05:51amgine123hey raptor
03:06:02raptorhello
03:06:03amgine123we have a problem in bf 19a
03:06:09raptorthat's nice
03:06:56amgine123im not sure exactly what the cause is but sometimes i get a crash randomly when i try to swtich levels on bf 19a it seems abosulty non consisten also it seems to happen when i drop a item and dont have one randomly once again completly random
03:07:25raptorah, but hasn't that always happened on your computer and no one elses?
03:07:37raptorfordcars: can you duplicate what amgine123 says happens?
03:07:39amgine123so the problem is why is it crashing randomly somtimes it does somtimes it doesnt ?
03:08:07amgine123um no there was a thread where it was skylark i belive asked why is 2 levels were causing bf to crash it might be realted to that
03:08:23amgine123it has only happaned 2 times
03:08:31amgine123so it seems very inconsistent

03:08:52raptorshow me the thread
03:09:05fordcars_ has joined
03:09:10raptorbecause you're the only one i know that has the problem, which suggests that it is your system and not bitfighter
03:09:44raptorthere were random crashes when starting a level in 019, but those are fixed for 019a
03:09:48fordcars Quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
03:10:05amgine123you think it would be realted to my norton anti virus problem ?
03:10:12fordcars_Ok, I'll try :)
03:10:23raptoramgine123: it might very well be
03:10:31amgine123in fact raptor i had the recorder going when it crashed!
03:10:44amgine123but the playback is weird
03:10:53raptorit's possible there is a recorder bug - it's experimental
03:11:16amgine123ill find the recording if i can
03:11:24raptorok
03:11:26amgine123also is there a way to look into if its norton realted ?
03:11:32fordcars_By the way, my Logitech Gamepad that worked fine in 019 is saying: Xml Exception, not a valid GUP input xml.
03:11:42raptorfordcars_: what OS again?
03:11:50fordcars_Windows
03:11:54raptorversion?
03:11:54fordcars_8.1
03:11:56fordcars_:)
03:11:57raptorbah!
03:12:02fordcars_Bah!
03:12:05amgine123however raptor i will not be able to do it tonight maybe wensday
03:12:06raptorok that *is* a bug...
03:12:09raptoramgine123: ok
03:12:22amgine123sorry for the inconvonince
03:12:35amgine123is there file that has the recordings or is it in game only ?
03:12:48raptorthere's a directory called 'record'
03:12:56amgine123ill look there
03:12:57fordcars_Oh nevermind raptor, it always says that, even when it's unplugged
03:13:00raptorand it holds them..
03:13:08raptorfordcars_: yeah, it's an update problem...
03:13:23fordcars_Oh okokok
03:13:44amgine123uh what can run the recordings formats
03:13:47raptorfordcars_: can you do something for me?
03:13:56fordcars_Sure :P
03:13:58amgine123would vlc work raptor ?
03:14:07fordcars_I tried replicating the bug, nothing happened :/
03:14:13raptorshut down the game and restart it - i want to catch the GUP problem with the game...
03:14:21fordcars_agine, only Bitfighter can :O
03:14:26fordcars_Ok
03:14:36amgine123ugh
03:14:52amgine123we need a way to run them wihout BF
03:15:12fordcars_Html5 might be a way, I don't know how it records the games
03:15:26raptorthere's no way...
03:15:40fordcars_Raptor, how do you catch it?
03:15:41amgine123oyu need to make them compatible with other programs
03:15:52fordcars_It has to be lightweight
03:15:57amgine123well it has only happened twice in like 1000 games so its rare
03:16:07raptordid y ou do it fordcars_?
03:16:11amgine123raptor
03:16:13fordcars_As Html5, I meant, move a bunch of rectangles around and call them ships
03:16:15fordcars_Yes
03:16:31raptorhttp access_log
03:16:43amgine123wil that work ?
03:16:54amgine123nope vlc fgailed

03:17:00amgine123^_^
03:17:24amgine123watching a anime series i found thats good
03:17:34Nothing_Much has joined
03:17:41amgine123its called death note =p
03:18:39raptoramgine123: it's a custom file format that *only* the bitfighter client will ever be able to read
03:19:08amgine123but why cant you make it a all type format wont it be unable to be put on sites like youtube then ?
03:19:11fordcars_raptor, where is http access_log?
03:19:30raptoron the bitfighter server
03:19:44fordcars_amgine, it only records the actual positions of objects, not pixels :/ It does make it really cool and dynamic though
03:19:46raptorwatusimoto did some weird stuff with the updater right before release... looks like it wasn't tested..
03:19:58fordcars_Ahh ok
03:27:55fordcars_Oh nevermind, recorded games are binaries.
03:28:14raptoryep, and they used TNL-compressed network data
03:28:21raptorso, very custom
03:28:37fordcars_Hehe
03:28:44fordcars_We should get Emscriptem working
03:28:53fordcars_Amgine, are you using Xp?
03:29:01raptoryeah... but i need to fix oSX build first
03:30:05fordcars_raptor, I am not forcing you to do anything! Do whatever you want
03:30:41fordcars_amgine123, if you are using xp, well I had similar problems with Bitfighter crashing randomly (in18a anyway)
03:30:54amgine123im using windows 7
03:31:50fordcars_Oh ok, I didn't try Windows 7 yet
03:32:09fordcars_I am soon heading over to Linux for this computer
03:33:22amgine123raptor can you help me with my plugin .....
03:33:39amgine123ive written part of it but im stuck on thispart
03:33:44amgine123this part
03:34:41raptorI'm sorry, i'm working hard on a task at the moment...
03:35:09fordcars_amgine123, I can help if you want
03:35:26amgine123sigh
03:35:38amgine123I want to keep it a secret to release
03:35:57amgine123from main Bf players
03:36:05amgine123but.....
03:36:09fordcars_Heh ok :P
03:36:11amgine123hmm i dont know
03:36:14amgine123i want help
03:37:33fordcars_Wassup? Do you have a problem with the code?
03:37:38amgine123raptor would forcing the y varible to be negitive correct the plane inversion ?
03:38:31fordcars_Wow, WebCL is coming, that is fancy stuff
03:40:29raptoramgine123: in Bitfighter +y is downward
03:40:32raptor-y is upward
03:40:48raptoralso fordcars_ is a good helper :)
03:40:50amgine123right so would having the default +y be -y fix it ?
03:40:56fordcars_Hehe
03:40:58raptorusually yes
03:41:03amgine123ok
03:41:10amgine123fordcars im enlisting you to help me
03:41:16amgine123please keep this a secret
03:41:22amgine123till release
03:41:25fordcars_Of course!
03:42:46amgine123uh can you have a argument be negitive ie arg[-2] ?
03:43:06fordcars_Uh, arguements in Plug-ins?
03:43:15fordcars_Oh nm haha
03:43:21amgine123yes?
03:43:34fordcars_Nope
03:43:34amgine123go to pc only
03:43:40fordcars_Sorry :P
03:44:21amgine123pc
03:44:32raptorok now to that stupid GUP thingy...
03:45:03raptorrunning osx and windows in VMs simultaneously feels weird
03:45:35raptorfordcars_: does bitfighter require you to run as admin?
03:45:47raptoror pop up some fancy access screen?
03:46:14fordcars_Whoa, I haven't tried that since quite sometime, but 018a didn't
03:46:19fordcars_Do you want me to try?
03:46:26raptorsorry, i mean
03:46:42raptorwhen launched, does it do that annoying windows access screen thingy?
03:47:24fordcars_In Windows?
03:47:30amgine123yes it does for te windows installer but not for te bitfighter standalone
03:47:35raptoryes, that 'User Access Control' screen
03:47:38amgine123on my computer
03:47:54raptorhahaha - the updater 'is not a valid win32 program' on windows xp
03:48:03fordcars_Oh I disabled that, but only a few days back, and it didn't do that Fancy UAC Screen thing ;)
03:48:11fordcars_in 019a and 019 anyway
03:48:12raptorok
03:48:14raptorthanks
03:58:17amgine123it does for me
03:58:39amgine123on windows 7 for me i get the admin thing for the installer but not for the standalone
04:08:46raptorok thanks
04:24:45amgine123raptor is there a getPosX() by chance ?
04:25:02raptorno, but getPos().x should work
04:26:52amgine123and that will only be the x coordintes value ?
04:27:07raptoryes
04:27:43amgine123ty
04:27:57amgine123HA i figured out smthing fordars didnt know!
05:28:53bobdaduck has joined
05:35:53bobdaduckBRACE YOURSELVES
05:35:56bobdaduckAMGINE POSTS ARE COMING
05:40:48fordcars_^^
05:41:43bobdaduckI think sky_lark's idea for a suicide weapon has merit.
05:48:58Nothing_Muchsuicide weapon?
05:49:17fordcars_Kindof like a kamicaze I think
05:50:54Nothing_MuchOh
05:50:57Nothing_MuchThat'd be disasterous
05:51:03Nothing_MuchFor the game to implement that
05:51:35Nothing_MuchLiterally, I can see newbies just using that and say "oh so you just hit this button and die"
05:51:59Nothing_MuchAs a command, if you're stuck inside a glitch or something, then yes, by all means add a suicide button
05:52:08Nothing_MuchBut as a weapon implemented in the game, no way
05:52:49Nothing_Much*As a weapon implemented in the game? No way.
05:53:00fordcars_As a levelgen, yes way
05:53:12destroyerimo has joined
05:53:36Nothing_MuchLevelgen I would assume as a custom game mode..?
05:53:41Nothing_Much*is
05:53:45Nothing_Much*is a custom
05:54:09bobdaduckWell like his idea is you equip it from loadout and stuff, and then when you activate it a timer starts and five seconds later you blow up and take everything near you out too
05:54:46Nothing_MuchNo
05:55:41bobdaduckWhy.
05:55:42Nothing_MuchJust no, if it's in vanilla Bitfighter, then people would get confused about what the hell happened to their ship.
05:56:10bobdaduck...They would?
05:56:38bobdaduckloadout>> Oh, okay there's weapons here.. phaser... bouncer... triple... kamikaze?
05:56:41Nothing_MuchIf a person sees their character die, they assume they did something wrong, and then they'd not know what to do with the game.
05:56:42bobdaduckI WONER WHAT KAMIKAZE MEANS
05:56:59Nothing_MuchKamikaze is a stupid choice for a default weapon
05:57:08Nothing_MuchOr a selectable weapon
05:57:12bobdaduckWhy?
05:57:46fordcars_burst does the same thing
05:57:48Nothing_MuchIt'll be overused and abused and would essentially kill whatever skilled players might come by.
05:58:06bobdaduckHow would it be overused and abused
05:58:10bobdaduckbecause you kill yourself?
05:58:17Nothing_MuchYeah
05:58:20fordcars_What if you shield :O
05:58:21bobdaduckI do that anyway, literally twenty times a game, with burst.
05:58:43Nothing_MuchThen there's no reason for a kamakazi to exist.
05:58:56bobdaduckExcept that its like, actually fun?
05:59:06Nothing_MuchYou got burst, it'd be redundant
05:59:13amgine123gtg bye
05:59:16Nothing_MuchL8r amgine123
06:00:06bobdaduckIts not redundant, its a completely different explosive. You actually have to sacrifice yourself to use it, whereas burst is basically useful for flying backwards and making sure nobody ever catches you.
06:01:13bobdaduckBurst is entirely a defensive explosive, as is mine, whereas a suicide weapon could *only* be used offensively.
06:01:17Nothing_MuchA Kamakazi as a weapon would pretty much render the gameplay itself useless then, the ship would just die and your objective would be tarnished, it's also pointless when you account game modes such as CTF and Rabbit.
06:01:55Nothing_Much*it's also especially pointless
06:02:16bobdaduckI don't see what's pointless about flying in and blowing everything up
06:02:18bobdaduckbut okay?
06:02:23Nothing_MuchIncluding yourself?
06:02:41Nothing_MuchThat'd just be a pointless bore.
06:02:57Nothing_Much"OMG I KILLED SOMEO- oh wait I died"
06:03:21bobdaduck...Do you even play games to have fun?
06:03:33amgine123 Quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
06:03:58Nothing_MuchI do it for the adrenaline and fun, mostly adrenaline, but on some occasions, mostly fun.
06:04:45Nothing_MuchBut vanilla Bitfighter would be a bad decision, I think there's already a perfect amount of weapons.
06:04:59Nothing_Much*Having Kamakazi in vanilla BF
06:05:15raptoroh hello
06:05:41fordcars_I think we should try it
06:05:55fordcars_As in, ugly levelgen of modification
06:06:08fordcars_*or
06:06:25bobdaduckIt doesn't like, work in levelgen because there's no way for players to interact with levelgens.
06:06:39fordcars_Yeah :/
06:07:11bobdaduckLike, how on earth would the player activate it?
06:07:43Nothing_MuchThat's one of my points though, DON'T let newbies play it, it should be (and if it happens it should STAY) a customized game mode, it'll overcomplicate things for the newbies.
06:07:52fordcars_Oh wait, super easy
06:08:30bobdaduckIn DnD I use chat messages
06:08:34bobdaduckbut that's ridiculously clunky
06:08:37destroyerimowat the!
06:08:43Nothing_MuchHey destroyerimo
06:08:43destroyerimoHI GUYS!
06:08:48destroyerimosup
06:08:49Nothing_MuchHey dude, what's up?
06:08:58raptorthread hijacked module usage for his class system
06:08:59destroyerimonothing much
06:09:05destroyerimohow r u
06:09:27Nothing_MuchDoin' alright dude, trying to recruit some people
06:10:00bobdaduckYeah, but his class system completely changes the way loadouts work. Players aren't interacting with the levelgen, but rather they way they do things has been completely changed
06:10:03fordcars_I just changed WeaponInfo.h
06:10:13fordcars_For SpyBug, tadaaa, kamikaze
06:11:09bobdaduckYeah, but nobody can really use that unless they build it themselves, right?
06:11:13fordcars_Yeah
06:11:19fordcars_Well, only the server
06:11:22fordcars_Clients can use it
06:12:15bobdaduckhuh, really?
06:12:57fordcars_Yeah :D
06:15:00fordcars_Ok, it's going to replace burst, you had to shoot the spy bugs :P
06:16:58Nothing_Much:/
06:19:34fordcars_^^ only for my mod
06:19:34fordcars_Perfect :)
06:19:34fordcars_Who wants to try? Hosting
06:19:34Nothing_MuchWhat do I do fordcars_?
06:19:47Nothing_Muchoh darn it
06:19:53fordcars_Just join my server BotLab
06:20:03Nothing_Muchraptor: Did anybody turn off the fakefullscreen thing?
06:20:12Nothing_MuchOn Linux
06:20:17Nothing_MuchBecause now I can't see anything in bf
06:20:30Nothing_MuchIt's just black
06:20:50fordcars_Poo
06:20:54raptorumm
06:21:02fordcars_Well the fake full screen is in the ini I think
06:21:03raptorwhat are you using?
06:21:11Nothing_Muchraptor: Linux
06:21:12raptorNothing_Much: did you compile yourself?
06:21:16Nothing_Muchnope
06:21:18raptorwhat os/arch
06:21:23Nothing_MuchI'm on reg. Ubuntu x86
06:21:24raptorversion, etc.
06:21:27Nothing_Much14.04
06:21:52Nothing_MuchI fixed it
06:22:01Nothing_MuchAll I did was turn off that fakefullscreen thing
06:22:09Nothing_MuchBut it really shouldn't be enabled by default
06:22:23fordcars_Sorry Nothing_Much
06:22:25Nothing_Muchfordcars_: Did you get your server up 'n runnin'?
06:22:29fordcars_Recompiling, one tick
06:22:32Nothing_MuchOh okay
06:22:36fordcars_Nearly done
06:23:30fordcars_Ok done
06:24:29raptorNothing_Much: it is enabled by default because the majority of Linux systems that I tested worked better with it
06:24:44raptorsorry you're one of the exceptions... :)
06:24:45Nothing_MuchAre you absolutely sure about that raptor?
06:24:48raptoryep
06:24:50Nothing_MuchOh man
06:25:04raptorwhat desktop environment are you on?
06:25:14Nothing_MuchSorry for being a pest but, did you test with FakeFullscreen off?
06:25:16Nothing_MuchUnity
06:25:19Nothing_MuchStock Ubuntu :)
06:25:23raptorahhh unity
06:25:34raptoryes i did
06:25:41raptorall Linux are not created equal
06:25:57Nothing_Muchwhich distros did you test?
06:26:10raptorhaving it on was much better on the systems I tried it on... if i remember ubuntu/debian/fedora/opensuse
06:26:20raptorbut i used Gnome on ubuntu, i think
06:26:38raptorand this was probably almost 2 years ago
06:26:38Nothing_MuchDarned Compiz is to blame...
06:26:59Nothing_Muchraptor: I tested on xfce and fakefullscreen screws it up :/
06:27:20Nothing_MuchI recall someone said it was because of SDL1 on Linux not being used properly
06:27:32Nothing_MuchThen SDL2 came around
06:27:32raptoryes, it was always SDL1.2
06:27:40raptorfakefullscreen is SDL1.2 only
06:27:44Nothing_MuchUnless BF didn't adopt SDL2?
06:27:57raptorit uses SDL1.2 on Linux, SDL2 everywhere else
06:28:04Nothing_MuchOh, so is SDL2 a priority for Linux for 020?
06:28:21raptorit's already done - you just have to enable it and compile with it
06:29:53fordcars_Anyway, later, off to bed
06:30:02fordcars_Night!
06:30:07fordcars_ Quit (Quit: Page closed)
06:31:52Nothing_MuchUm
06:31:52Nothing_MuchI mean for users that just wanna install and play it :P
06:31:52Nothing_Much(I'm one of those users)
06:31:53Nothing_MuchBut if it happens for 019b then please make it so, I have plans for what I have in store for Ubuntu and Bitfighter.
06:31:55Nothing_MuchIf I get a chance though, that is.
06:31:55Nothing_Much Quit (Quit: No Ping reply in 180 seconds.)
06:32:11raptorI have no control over how it's built for ubuntu
06:32:27raptorand you disappeard...
06:32:50Nothing_Much has joined
06:34:35raptorNothing_Much: I have no control over how it's built for ubuntu - if you're using a distro package, then I would flag the build and tell them to use SDL2 (if it's available)
06:35:34Nothing_MuchI "love" USB WiFi dongles...
06:35:34Nothing_Muchraptor: Is it not enabled by default on other distros that are packaged?
06:36:00Nothing_MuchI "LOVE" USB WiFi dongles!!
06:36:10Nothing_MuchOkay
06:36:13Nothing_MuchI can see the logs
06:36:20raptorthe source tree has SDL1.2 as default, but there's an option to enable SDL2 that packagers can use if SDL2 is available for their distro
06:36:33Nothing_Much Quit (Client Quit)
06:37:19Nothing_Much has joined
06:37:54Nothing_Muchokay so maybe I'll just post on the forums
06:38:27raptoryeah, as soon as almost all distros support SDL2, i'll enable it as default for Linux
06:38:34raptorwhich may be for next release
06:38:51Nothing_MuchI think all *mainstream* distros already support SDL2
06:39:16raptoryes, but only the newest version, and only if they released after the SDL2 release date
06:39:37raptornot all Linux users are on the newest version... usually on some long-term version or a version behind
06:39:45Nothing_MuchAh, okay, so that won't happen until... the end of 2014..
06:39:50Nothing_Muchyeah, darn
06:40:44Nothing_MuchWell hopefully my curriculum at a church can help out some people with Ubuntu and/or just play Bitfighter on Linux. :O
06:44:08Nothing_Much..
