| 05:46:09 | Nothing_Much | Uh |
| 05:46:15 | Nothing_Much | Anybody have any vids from the BBB? |
| 05:48:46 | Nothing_Much | sam686: Do you have any recordings from the BBB? |
| 06:39:52 | sam686 | well I do have some video screen recordings but I haven't uploaded yet |
| 06:41:19 | sam686 | Nothing_Much: You might be better off getting the game recordings downloadable from here http://bitfighter.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2352 uncompress, then place in recording folder. |
| 06:42:04 | sam686 | the advantage of game recording is, you can look at anyone while it is playing back |
| 06:42:57 | Nothing_Much | Oh sweet |
| 06:43:28 | sam686 | when you run Bitfighter you may find an option to playback when in a "Host" menu |
| 06:44:25 | Nothing_Much | Alright |
| 06:46:21 | Nothing_Much | What recording folder? |
| 06:47:02 | sam686 | there is a folder named "record" place it there. lust like placing levels into "levels" folder |
| 06:47:19 | sam686 | just (not lust) |
| 06:47:32 | Nothing_Much | I don't see the record folder |
| 06:47:52 | sam686 | umm make that folder? or host a game with recording on? |
| 06:48:55 | Nothing_Much | Oh look at that! |

| 15:41:26 | raptor | I think i've like doing the 019abc branch... |
| 15:41:43 | raptor | and kept heavy development off to the side as we pull in the fixes or simple features |
| 15:41:49 | raptor | *liked |
| 15:44:06 | raptor | oh yay, more of ukraine is declaring independence... |
| 15:52:58 | fordcars | Really? |
| 15:53:23 | raptor | apparently... the future doesn't look so great for that area of the world... |
| 15:54:07 | fordcars | :( |
| 15:54:11 | fordcars | Sucks |
| 16:05:57 | Nothing_Much | kaen: Dude, are you able to handle some of the stuff you're doing? |
| 16:06:22 | kaen | hopefully I'm able to handle all of the stuff I'm doing :) |
| 16:07:42 | kaen | I don't think I'm doing all that much |
| 16:08:08 | kaen | ads stuff is really turnkey, since I'll only have to spend 1-2 hours once per week |
| 16:08:16 | kaen | the 2v2 tournament is completely automated |
| 16:08:19 | Nothing_Much | You're working a lot, like I said, don't stress yourself too much! |
| 16:08:25 | kaen | ok, I won't :) |
| 16:08:30 | kaen | this other stuff is how I relax |
| 16:09:20 | Nothing_Much | I would totally help you out with that.. if I hadn't spent the 12$ on that crappy VPS |
| 16:12:17 | kaen | no worries. as wat pointed out, it's not a money issue. just an execution issue |
| 16:12:49 | Nothing_Much | oh really? |
| 16:13:36 | kaen | yeah. I can pay for a day's worth of adds in just a few minutes of work. plus I'm young and have like zero bills. |
| 16:14:13 | Nothing_Much | lol |

| 16:51:35 | raptor | probably android is included in Linux |

| 16:54:18 | raptor | his is for april so far |

| 16:54:44 | raptor | and loads of entries with 2-3 referrals from russian porn sites... |
| 16:54:46 | raptor | fun |
| 16:54:56 | fordcars | indeed |
| 16:56:33 | raptor | oh interesting, our #2 top referring site in march was: http://www.oschina.net/p/bitfighter |
| 16:56:38 | raptor | an open source china site |
| 16:57:51 | fordcars | Wow |
| 16:58:01 | raptor | ha! #5 was this SO post by me from last year: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16042940/robust-fast-complex-polygon-with-holes-triangulation-c-c-library-with-permi |
| 16:58:15 | raptor | (i'm skipping the russian sites) |
| 16:59:46 | fordcars | Why do russian porn sites have links to bitfighter?? |
| 17:02:26 | kaen | it's part of some scheme to manipulate search engine results |
| 17:02:55 | kaen | or maybe they're just really big fans :) |
| 17:03:10 | fordcars | :) |
| 17:03:36 | fordcars | Wow kaen, your marketing thing looks really nice |

| 17:46:56 | raptor | wow kaen! advertisements? |
| 17:47:07 | kaen | that's the plan |
| 17:47:38 | raptor | ha! that's a lot of hyphenated words in a row... |
| 17:47:46 | raptor | that's actually slightly endearing |
| 17:49:36 | raptor | you'll have to forgive me that advertising isn't something I've really been interested in... |
| 17:52:01 | kaen | that's fine. at a minimum this will help us determine how useful advertising really is (or isn't) |
| 17:52:44 | raptor | I mean, I like our game :) |
| 17:52:48 | raptor | and i want more players |
| 17:55:58 | kaen | we're already getting a respectable amount of organic traffic, considering how little marketing we do right now |
| 17:56:38 | kaen | I think if we can drive it to a critical mass with some ad dollars, then we can get that organic traffic to stick around a bit longer (if there are enough players online at any given time) |

| 18:00:42 | Watusimoto | good day! |
| 18:04:51 | raptor | good day |
| 18:09:35 | raptor | Watusimoto: so i was thinking - i've really like the results of our 019abc branches - I like the idea of such refinement |
| 18:10:56 | raptor | what if we continued on that fashion - do major development, then transplant the fixes and minor/stable features into an 019d/e/whatever, etc. until were ready to unleash the big changes? |
| 18:11:35 | Watusimoto | that would be ok with me |
| 18:11:41 | Watusimoto | though it would be more work |
| 18:11:57 | raptor | because I feel that 019c is one of our best/most stablest releases since 015a |
| 18:12:02 | raptor | and i like that feeling |
| 18:12:10 | Watusimoto | i agree |

| 19:19:15 | Skybax | Hey raptor |
| 19:19:23 | Skybax | How do I watch the BBB playback files? |
| 19:19:31 | raptor | hi |
| 19:20:11 | raptor | how far did you get in the directions in the post? |
| 19:20:45 | Skybax | I made a "record" folder and I extracted the BF019 file into that folder |
| 19:20:53 | raptor | ok good |
| 19:21:08 | sam686 | the option to playback is in the "Host" menu, but you got to either at least host one with game recording on, or place some recorded files into "record" |
| 19:21:09 | raptor | in-game, now, go to 'HOST GAME' menu, and select 'PLAYBACK...' |
| 19:21:10 | fordcars | Skybax, you can check them out in HOST |
| 19:21:13 | fordcars | ^^ |
| 19:21:14 | raptor | haha |
| 19:21:20 | raptor | pounce |
| 19:21:20 | Skybax | The folder is just supposed to be in the Bitfighter folder, right? Like, along with the levels, music, and robots folder? |
| 19:21:23 | fordcars | Hehe |
| 19:21:31 | fordcars | Yep |
| 19:21:37 | raptor | Skybax: yes |
| 19:21:42 | fordcars | In %appdata% in WIndows |
| 19:21:46 | Skybax | Otay |
| 19:23:49 | Skybax | Just a suggestion, it would be cool if the Playback file told me who I was watching |
| 19:24:04 | fordcars | I said the exact same thing :P |
| 19:24:09 | raptor | yes... we have that in our issues list |
| 19:24:21 | Skybax | Otherwise this is super neat |
| 19:24:31 | raptor | you can press space bar to switch people |
| 19:24:47 | raptor | and move the mouse to the top of the window to make the bar go away |
| 19:25:04 | sam686 | some feature request about playback a recorded game is listed in http://code.google.com/p/bitfighter/issues/detail?id=420 |
| 19:25:04 | raptor | i just figure if i see the person use repair+cloak, then i know i'm watching Skybax |
| 19:25:45 | Skybax | Haha yeah that's exactly what I just did to find myself |
| 19:26:13 | | Nothing_Much Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) |
| 19:26:26 | sam686 | you can also watch the top left "kill" "grapped flag" to partly tell who you looking at.. |
| 19:27:31 | Skybax | Yeah but that's difficult when there's 20 people zapping eachother at the same time |
| 19:28:19 | Skybax | It's weird, the movements seem much more abrupt in the playback then they do in real life lol |
| 19:30:26 | sam686 | There been some server lag so it may have recorded everyone lagging too.. |
| 19:30:30 | Skybax | SLOW MOTION IS COOL |
| 19:30:53 | Skybax | Can slow motion be an option for playing a real game? lol |
| 19:33:34 | raptor | I'm thinking about doing another improvement contest... |
| 19:34:00 | | Skybax_ has joined |
| 19:34:22 | fordcars | Yes! |
| 19:35:05 | Skybax_ | Wow in slow-mo my aiming really sucks.. |
| 19:35:08 | raptor | because if the BBB has taught me anything... is that contests are a lot less stressful... |
| 19:35:50 | raptor | Skybax_: it may be inherent due to the server receiving you firing commands later |
| 19:35:51 | Skybax_ | Cause you don't have to organize the maps? x) |
| 19:36:08 | raptor | map organization and results and server management during the event |
| 19:36:19 | Skybax_ | Yeah |
| 19:36:29 | raptor | although - this is the first BBB in a long time that the server didn't actually crash |
| 19:36:39 | raptor | i mean, the actualy bitfighterd program |

| 19:36:47 | raptor | our host server systems did get slow.. |
| 19:36:48 | Skybax_ | Oh wow. Watching it in slow-mo is a bad idea. No normal speed seems super fast. Oog. |
| 19:36:50 | | Skybax_ is now known as Skybax |
| 19:36:55 | Skybax | *Now |
| 19:37:03 | raptor | haha yeah |
| 19:37:13 | raptor | slow-motion let's you relax and analyze |
| 19:37:32 | Skybax | Now I have to get used to normal speed again, dangit |
| 19:38:06 | sam686 | Well the server didn't crash but there was some networking/lag/vps problem |
| 19:38:13 | raptor | ha! someone downloaded the 013e osx package |
| 19:38:39 | sam686 | my internet had 2x 30 second outage within 2 minutes |
| 19:38:42 | Skybax | Haha I just epic lag-jumped all the way across the map! |
| 19:38:57 | raptor | whic level are you watching? |
| 19:39:14 | Skybax | Eye Of Disaster |
| 19:39:19 | sam686 | the outage happen to be while in a break so it wasn't bad |
| 19:39:25 | raptor | haha, that one is awesome |
| 19:39:31 | Skybax | Yes |
| 19:39:35 | | Watusimoto has joined |
| 19:39:49 | raptor | i was afraid that that level wouldn't work in the BBB... but it was perfect |
| 19:39:53 | sam686 | time remaining when it lag-jumped? |
| 19:41:42 | Skybax | You want me to go back and look? |
| 19:42:33 | sam686 | you can click on the bottom bar to jump to different parts of time line |
| 19:43:19 | sam686 | one problem, it switches player you watching when jumping backwards.. |
| 19:48:40 | Skybax | sam686: 5:25 remaining |
| 19:54:01 | sam686 | weard lag... Probably others saw you lagging like that too.. |
| 20:02:11 | sam686 | bbb11_dnd_05_Mountain_Cave at time remaining 9:19, 8:52, thats a 1 second server freeze |

| 20:08:26 | sam686 | I have a possible guess, it might be the master VPS have overloaded hard disk access speed that the game server freezes while writing data, I can make the file writing part a separate thread... |
| 20:08:55 | sam686 | Can explain why other game servers running in master doesn't lag, none of others record games. |

| 22:12:09 | raptor | fordcars: let me introduce you to: http://openra.res0l.net/ |
| 22:12:14 | raptor | oh wait |
| 22:12:19 | raptor | you said .NET |
| 22:12:49 | fordcars | I have no idea :P |
| 22:12:49 | raptor | yes, .NET (the runtime) is windows only, but C# (the language) uses the MONO runtime on Linux |
| 22:12:55 | fordcars | Okok |
| 22:13:03 | Nothing_Much | fordcars: yep, it may get native support on Mac/Linux now |
| 22:13:11 | Nothing_Much | the runtime at least |
| 22:13:12 | raptor | so that game 'OpenRA' is entirely written in C# |
| 22:13:16 | fordcars | Ah cool |
| 22:13:21 | raptor | and will deploy to .NET on windows or MONO on Linux |
| 22:13:31 | fordcars | Okokok |
| 22:13:35 | raptor | but of course, the .NET runtime is probably leaps and bounds above MONO |
| 22:13:44 | raptor | so this may help increase cross-platform performance |

| 22:32:03 | fordcars | Nice! |

| 22:38:14 | kaen | still around Skybax ? |
| 22:38:25 | Skybax | Jes |
| 22:38:48 | kaen | fire away |
| 22:38:57 | kaen | I just woke up from a nap :P |
| 22:39:07 | Skybax | lol sleephead xD |
| 22:39:15 | kaen | word. |
| 22:39:42 | Skybax | Ford and I were just wondering why the 2v2 server can only have 2v2 |
| 22:40:24 | kaen | because 2v2 is the only manageable team size for now :P |
| 22:40:31 | kaen | later it can be expanded to NvN |
| 22:40:40 | kaen | or reduced to 1v1, although that's less interesting. |
| 22:41:24 | kaen | how often do you actually get four people on at once? especially the right four people that you need for a ranked 2v2 game |
| 22:41:51 | Skybax | Well Ford and I had a 1v1 game |
| 22:41:56 | Skybax | And now my team is the top team |
| 22:42:30 | Skybax | I probably don't fully understand the code, but it seems like it would be simple to just keep adding names and even teams (for a 2v2v2 game) |
| 22:43:11 | Watusimoto | FYI, I will be out of town for a week starting Thursday. Wed evening will be the last time I will be in contact until I return. |
| 22:46:02 | kaen | it can in fact do that |
| 22:46:25 | kaen | I wrote it to handle more than two teams, and more than two players, I just set the config options to 2v2 |
| 22:46:35 | Skybax | Why xD |
| 22:46:41 | Skybax | Just make it unlimited! |
| 22:46:54 | kaen | it also has code for generating a round-robin game schedule |
| 22:47:00 | kaen | which is also unused right now |
| 22:47:12 | kaen | because I wanted to start with something small :P |
| 22:47:46 | Skybax | Okay |
| 22:48:08 | Skybax | So when will it's magnificent potential be further unlocked? |
| 22:48:25 | fordcars | When kaen's ads work! |
| 22:48:47 | | CrazyLinuxNerd Quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds) |
| 22:50:54 | Skybax | lol |
| 22:55:47 | kaen | haha |
| 22:56:16 | kaen | basically when 3v3 looks viable, I'll change it to that |
| 22:56:23 | kaen | for now, 2v2 doesn't even seem very realistic. |
| 23:00:43 | Skybax | I see around 4 players on all the time, not to mention the people like me who just sit here in IRC waiting for something to do lol |
| 23:01:22 | | CrazyLinuxNerd has joined |
| 23:03:30 | Skybax | Also, kaen, you need more maps ._. |
| 23:03:44 | kaen | yeah ._. |
| 23:05:15 | Skybax | Having only two is not only not very much, but since whenever you finish a game it does one level as an intermission, unless you manually restart the level (which we can't cause we don't have the password) you can only compete on one of the maps lol |
| 23:06:23 | fordcars | Does findAllObjectsInArea() work? |
| 23:09:11 | raptor | it's supposed to! |
| 23:13:12 | fordcars | attempt to call global 'findAllObjectsInArea' (a nil value) |
| 23:13:14 | | Skybax_ has joined |
| 23:13:20 | fordcars | :( Does it only work with bots? |
| 23:14:20 | raptor | bf: |
| 23:14:27 | raptor | bf:findAll... |
| 23:14:31 | raptor | did you add the bf? |
| 23:14:40 | fordcars | Oh that's it sorry |
| 23:14:49 | raptor | we're slowly trying to make people use the 'namespaces' |
| 23:15:18 | Skybax_ | Someone teach me how to code |
| 23:15:38 | fordcars | Hah sure |
| 23:15:53 | | Skybax Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) |
| 23:16:00 | | Skybax_ is now known as Skybax |
| 23:16:08 | fordcars | raptor, bf, levelgen, global all sound the same |
| 23:16:21 | Skybax | I'm updating my Asteroid Belt level right now with what Taz suggested I use |
| 23:16:24 | Skybax | It's gonna look boss |
| 23:17:12 | raptor | Skybax: you want to learn in the context of bitfighter levelgens? |
| 23:17:28 | fordcars | Kaen wrote I tutorial I think |
| 23:17:45 | raptor | there are two hurdles you need to surpass: |
| 23:17:53 | Skybax | Yes, there's a levelgen tutorial http://bitfighter.org/wiki/index.php/Levelgen_Tutorial_03 |
| 23:17:59 | raptor | 1. submit yourself to the will of Lua syntax |
| 23:18:07 | raptor | 2. learn the bitfighter methods |
| 23:18:21 | fordcars | Indent! |
| 23:18:31 | Skybax | But I learn much better with an interactive teaching method instead of a "read and implement" method |
| 23:22:24 | fordcars | You could try CodeAcademy |
| 23:22:59 | fordcars | But that won't be Lua |
| 23:23:08 | fordcars | But it will be way easier to learn lua after |
| 23:23:17 | fordcars | It's all the same ;) |
| 23:23:21 | raptor | there is this: http://luatut.com/ |
| 23:23:27 | raptor | it has an interactive terminal |
| 23:27:08 | Skybax | I've done a lot on CodeCademy |
| 23:27:24 | Skybax | And I have some very BASIC coding knowledge (that was a pun) |
| 23:27:39 | fordcars | Ohhhhhhhhh |
| 23:28:03 | fordcars | Basic's cool |
| 23:28:15 | raptor | Skybax: i'd try the crash course at luatut.com |
| 23:28:29 | raptor | and use their interactive terminal at the top |
| 23:28:30 | Skybax | See looky http://www.codecademy.com/Skybax |
| 23:28:57 | Skybax | Okay |
| 23:29:16 | fordcars | Cool! |
| 23:29:17 | raptor | it's not perfect, or complete, but it should get you used to Lua |
| 23:39:48 | | raptor Quit () |

| 23:52:30 | bobdaduck | Hi |
| 23:52:39 | bobdaduck | Do any of the devs even have facebook? |
| 23:53:26 | Nothing_Much | kaen does maybe |
| 23:53:28 | Nothing_Much | unsure |
| 23:53:41 | kaen | yep |
| 23:54:07 | bobdaduck | kaen |
| 23:54:08 | kaen | I don't think the others do |
| 23:54:12 | kaen | hi |
| 23:54:17 | bobdaduck | do you want to take over the bitfighter facebook page when I leave? |
| 23:54:25 | kaen | sure :) |
| 23:54:33 | kaen | that's perfect. I didn't even realize we had one |
| 23:55:01 | bobdaduck | Unknown and I ran it |
| 23:55:08 | bobdaduck | but he and I are both going to be on missions so xD |
| 23:55:13 | kaen | heh |
| 23:56:20 | CrazyLinuxNerd | who uses facebook? That's for weird people :-P |
| 23:56:47 | Nothing_Much | CrazyLinuxNerd: I do but only to keep in contact with old friends |
| 23:57:04 | bobdaduck | And he uses facebook as NothingMuch! |
| 23:57:23 | CrazyLinuxNerd | I'm "old skool".... I use email :-O - I know, shocking |
| 23:58:22 | bobdaduck | *gasps* |
| 23:59:52 | CrazyLinuxNerd | who here still uses a fully fledged email client? (Such as thunderbird, or outlook etc) |
