00:04:51amgineahmm
00:20:33amgineawhat happened to the BF trailer ?

01:30:12amginea:)
01:49:53fordcarsHi
01:50:05raptorHi
01:54:09kaeniH
01:54:54fordcarsWhoa nice
01:55:01kaenI accidentally ordered an arduino
01:55:06fordcarsNice :)
01:55:09raptoraccidentally?
01:55:16kaenand accidentally spent all weekend making various things blink with it
01:55:26fordcarsNice :)
01:55:27raptorhahaha
01:55:41fordcarsI need to get one eventually, they look really cool
01:55:46kaenyeah, I was just surfing online and remembered how much I had wanted one
01:55:51kaenoh, it's so cool
01:55:56fordcarsWhich one is it?
01:56:10kaenmega2560
01:56:19fordcarsAhh cool, loads of pins right>
01:56:20fordcars?
01:56:27kaenI bought the big one without even knowing it
01:56:27kaenyeah
01:56:29kaentons
01:56:36kaenmore than I could even imagine using
01:56:41fordcarsWicked
01:56:49kaenit came with some differents sensors and outputs
01:57:02fordcarsI have one micro controller, but it has 5 (!) pins
01:57:05fordcarsWhoa really?
01:57:11kaenI programmed mine to improvise in C Major using the piezo buzzer that came with it
01:57:21kaenmy girlfriend liked that
01:57:29fordcarsReally??
01:57:33fordcarsThat is really smart
01:57:43fordcarsUnlimited music
01:57:44kaenyeah, it's really simple code actually
01:57:48kaenjust randomly picks a note though
01:57:55kaenhas no idea about melody or composition
01:58:13fordcarsYou should make it play jazz :)
01:58:29fordcarsSame thing with different notes I think
01:58:29kaenand generating any arbitrary key or scale is a simple matter of a lookup table
01:58:33kaenright
01:58:52kaenI think it might sound more realistic... that's an interesting idea
01:59:30kaenI'd need to add syncopation or something though
01:59:54fordcarsMaybe
02:00:13kaenanyway, it was just an experiment to see how precisely I could manipulate the tones through that
02:00:22fordcarsSeriously awesome
02:00:33kaenit's pretty good, but I definitely need some proper speakers
02:00:39fordcarsHaha
02:00:43fordcarsThey are really cheap
02:00:44kaenI want to play with analog synthesizers
02:00:50kaenthat's what I love about it!
02:00:57fordcarsYeahhh!
02:01:11kaenI'm totally still a hardware noob though
02:01:17fordcarsHaha
02:01:24kaenI've spent all day looking up how to use transistors...
02:01:31fordcarsWhoa
02:01:47kaenall day being the last couple hours, but yep
02:01:50fordcarsI did that not a long time ago
02:01:58fordcarsStill don't understand, but meh
02:02:09fordcars Quit (Quit: Page closed)
02:02:31fordcars has joined
02:03:18fordcarskaen, yu should try building an 8-bit computer someday
02:03:26raptortip for the wise - don't ever say 'soft science' to a humanities major
02:03:54raptor(vs. 'hard science' - e.g. STEM majors)
02:03:55kaenfordcars: have you done that?
02:04:04fordcarsLol, I wish
02:04:22kaenoh man, I bet he let you have it
02:04:51raptorthe correct term is 'social science'
02:04:53fordcarsI wanted to, I was like "Hey, why not?", but then realized with NPN transistors, I would constantly have to split the voltages or something, since these transistors amplify the current
02:05:17fordcarsAnd, I know nothing about computers :)
02:15:49Nothing_Muchwhat's going on?
02:16:04Nothing_MuchWhat's an arduino?
02:16:43Nothing_Muchanother Raspberry Pi ripoff?
02:17:04Nothing_Much*alternative
02:17:28fordcarsNothing_Much: You haven't heard of Arduino?
02:17:45fordcarsIt was there before the Pi I think, they are 2 different things though, not the same league
02:17:51raptorit was a predecessor to the RPi
02:18:33Nothing_MuchWhoa, really?
02:18:36Nothing_MuchI never heard of it
02:19:34raptorit's less of a 'full computer' than the RPi
02:19:42Nothing_MuchAh
02:19:43fordcarsArduino has a slower clock, but no operating system, so it's lighter and better for projects when you need direct access to the hardware. The Raspberry Pi has an operating system, so you can connect to the internet and peform bigger task (computer tasks), but with a big operating system
02:19:49raptormostly just a raw processor with some I/O
02:20:51Nothing_MuchThat's fascinating
02:20:55Nothing_MuchI wonder how you'd use it though lol
02:20:59fordcarsLol
02:21:03fordcarsAllot I think
02:21:28fordcarshttp://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Projects/
02:21:29Nothing_MuchA lot*
02:21:38fordcarsAl ot
02:21:43Nothing_MuchOi, sorry, grammatical errors are a peeve of min-
02:21:45fordcarsI never know how to speel that wor
02:21:47Nothing_MuchA LOT*
02:21:51raptortry number 3!
02:21:54Nothing_MuchIt's not a word D:
02:22:09sam686how slow does the CPU run?
02:22:09fordcarsOkokok thanks :)
02:22:20fordcars!6mhz?
02:22:26fordcarsI think, maybe 33
02:22:30fordcars*16
02:22:35Nothing_MuchThat's impressive!
02:22:47Nothing_MuchThat's a lot of projects there
02:22:58fordcarsSpecs are here: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/arduinoBoardMega
02:23:11fordcarsYeah, I really like the drum kit :D
02:23:21fordcarsA lot of fun
02:23:40Nothing_MuchDang fordcars, did you make something outta your Pi?
02:23:50fordcarsYeah, I burnt it
02:23:54fordcarsLol nah
02:24:01fordcarsOnly the Led, by accident
02:24:01Nothing_MuchOh dear
02:24:03Nothing_MuchOh lol
02:24:28fordcarsYeah lol
02:24:43fordcarsI got the sound to work with Quake 3 though
02:25:06fordcarsAnd the Pi community got the open-source drives working for the GPU, so it looks good :)
02:25:11Nothing_MuchAwesome
02:25:16fordcarsBut I still need Bitfighter on it
02:25:20Nothing_MuchAll we need is a bitf-
02:25:21Nothing_MuchYep
02:25:24fordcarsYep
02:25:31Nothing_MuchOh dude
02:25:33Nothing_MuchDUDE
02:25:39Nothing_MuchOh wait nevermind
02:25:44Nothing_MuchI don't know the libs to the RPi
02:26:01fordcarsI want to make a mobile RPi à la http://www.raspberrypi.org/build-your-own-mobile-pi-to-go/
02:26:10fordcarsAnd have Bitfighter on the go 8)
02:26:15fordcarsWassupÉ
02:26:18fordcars?
02:26:25Nothing_MuchHah, dude that thing would suck on mobile
02:26:33Nothing_MuchAs a mobile device*
02:26:39fordcarsLololol maybe
02:26:49fordcarsI should maybe get a Pandora then
02:26:55fordcarsBut it's pretty expensive
02:26:57Skybax_ has joined
02:26:59Nothing_MuchYeah it's expensive
02:27:02Nothing_MuchHowever
02:27:11Nothing_MuchIf there's an Android port
02:27:16fordcarsWHoa
02:27:18fordcarsNononon
02:27:21Nothing_MuchYou guys can get an Nvidia shield
02:27:26fordcarsWhat????
02:27:29Nothing_MuchNvidia sheild
02:27:32Nothing_Much*shield
02:27:35Nothing_Much..
02:27:37Nothing_MuchSheild?
02:27:49Nothing_MuchShield, there we go
02:27:53fordcarsThere is an NVidia shield?
02:27:55Nothing_Muchhttp://shield.nvidia.com/
02:28:03Nothing_MuchIt's basically a mobile Android platform
02:28:10Nothing_MuchPortal was recently ported to it
02:28:17Nothing_MuchIt's 250$
02:28:17fordcarsOOOOOHOOHOOH sorry I thought you wrote Arduino
02:28:21Nothing_Muchlol
02:28:26fordcarsYeah, it would be cool
02:28:31Nothing_MuchNah it's just a mobile console
02:28:32fordcarsI think Kaen will get it running though
02:28:41fordcarsOn Arduino, with Graphics
02:28:49Nothing_MuchHonestly I don't think tablets and phones would work well with bitfighter
02:28:53Nothing_MuchAfter thinking about it for a while
02:28:56fordcarsHe said he would get the know-how
02:29:01fordcarsMe niether
02:29:04fordcars*Neither
02:29:10Nothing_MuchYeah, tons of control schemes
02:29:10fordcarsBut it's better than nothing ;)
02:29:16Skybax Quit (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
02:29:16raptorwe just need someone creative with the appropriate knowledge to port it to android
02:29:20Nothing_MuchYeah, or there can be a bluetooth thing
02:29:29fordcarsYeah
02:29:33sam686chances are, nvidia shield/stuff might not be open source
02:29:41fordcarsI don't think it is
02:29:44Nothing_Muchsam686: It's not, because it's Andr- Wait
02:29:47fordcarsBut it run Ardroid
02:29:49Nothing_MuchThe Tegra GPU?
02:29:59Nothing_MuchAndroid isn't really that FOSS
02:30:21fordcarsBut it is Open-Source
02:30:25fordcarsBut yeah
02:30:29Nothing_MuchYeah
02:30:35Nothing_MuchBut Google locks down almost everything
02:30:37Nothing_MuchOh
02:30:37fordcarsWindows is not open-source, yet Bitfighter runs on it ;)
02:30:38Nothing_Muchhttp://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2013/08/07/hack-your-shield/
02:30:42Nothing_MuchTrue
02:30:46Nothing_MuchSame for Mac
02:30:48Nothing_Muchlol
02:31:01Nothing_MuchIt looks like the Shield IS open source.. to an extent.
02:31:09fordcarsNice
02:31:15sam686windows not open source, but its because thats where large number of people use..
02:31:28fordcarsLooks good ;)
02:31:33fordcarsYeah, that's true
02:31:40Nothing_MuchOh dudes
02:31:59Nothing_MuchThis might not affect Bitfighter at all because it's as lightweight as a game could get
02:32:04fordcarsWe need to convince somebody to buy a shield
02:32:18Nothing_MuchBut the next iteration of the nVidia Shield is gonna have a Tegra K1
02:32:30Nothing_MuchAKA a 2.5GHz SoC GPU/CPU
02:32:39Nothing_MuchAnd it's super powerful for an ARM device
02:32:42fordcarsSweet :)
02:32:48fordcars2.5 wow
02:32:54Nothing_Muchhttp://blog.gsmarena.com/nvidia-shield-successor-feature-tegra-k1-chipset-4-gb-ram/
02:33:18Nothing_MuchI would totally buy a Shield if I had a job :/
02:33:33sam686If a tablet have a usb port that can run bitfighter, you could tape a controller into a tablet and have fun.
02:33:42Nothing_Muchlol yeah
02:33:44fordcarsHaha totally
02:33:53fordcarsI don't
02:34:05fordcarsOh, I might get access to an Android soon
02:34:06Nothing_MuchI actually bought a 20$ paperweight
02:34:12Nothing_MuchWhich is-
02:34:14Nothing_MuchWait
02:34:18amgineabtw i really think we should put BF on steam
02:34:19fordcarsNothing_Much: ok?
02:34:21Nothing_Muchfordcars: What kinda Android device?
02:34:28amgineai would pay for it....
02:34:29fordcarsSmart phone
02:34:32Nothing_MuchAh
02:34:34fordcarsBut I could get a controller
02:34:34Nothing_MuchI have one already
02:34:48Nothing_Muchamginea: On Steam it can be free
02:34:58Nothing_MuchBut yeah I'm backing it on Steam 100%
02:35:04Nothing_MuchFor it to get on Steam*
02:35:04fordcarsWhoa it's only 200 $?
02:35:15Nothing_Muchfordcars: The Shield?
02:35:19fordcarsYeah
02:35:25fordcarsI thought it would be like 500$
02:35:36amgineawhy dont we put it on steam then?
02:35:53Nothing_Muchamginea: I think because the guys are busy :P
02:36:01fordcarsHaha I guess so
02:36:07fordcarsProbably
02:36:25Nothing_MuchIf there's an Android build that I can put on my phone then lemme have it!
02:36:28Nothing_Much*mini tablet
02:37:07fordcarsNothing_Much: I could try something eventually, will not get very far though, but I can't test it :X
02:37:25fordcarsI would love one just to tinker around with
02:37:32Nothing_MuchA shield?
02:37:33Nothing_Mucho.o
02:37:39fordcarsAndroid
02:37:41fordcars!!
02:37:43sam686I think raptor may have attempted to do android build, bit I am not sure how far it went on that
02:37:45Nothing_MuchOh my bad
02:37:52fordcarsTis fine
02:37:57raptorit compiled, started up... then CRASH
02:38:02fordcarsAw
02:38:05Nothing_Muchwell darn
02:38:12fordcarsServer working?
02:38:17raptoractually... i could join a game
02:38:22raptorcouldn't move the ship
02:38:29fordcarsOh yeah, no controls
02:38:36raptorbut a crash was always inevitable - something about openGL threading issue
02:38:45fordcarsOpenGL is complex
02:38:50Nothing_MuchWell
02:38:52Nothing_MuchYeah lol
02:38:54Nothing_MuchHmm..
02:39:16Nothing_MuchWasn't somebody gonna put BF on the Ubuntu Software Center or in the Debian repos?
02:39:35Nothing_MuchBecause the convergence aspect of Ubuntu can turn a tablet into a PC
02:39:40fordcarsraptor, but I think he is still working on it
02:40:03sam686does dedicated build run on android? (if no, then the problem is not opengl/audio/SDL)
02:40:59Nothing_Muchfordcars: I thought it was kaen
02:41:57fordcarsOh maybe, I don't know
02:42:47sam686I have debian on my router... apt-get install bitfighter.... Unable to locate package bitfighter
02:43:11Nothing_MuchI'm not sure how the process of maintaining a repo would work though
02:43:15Nothing_MuchI'd totally do it though
02:43:18sam686well as my router (with multi-ethernet ports)
02:44:29Nothing_MuchOh wait
02:44:32raptorkaen started the debian thingy - i offered to take over, then i got *really* busy at work. So nothing much has been done yet
02:44:40Nothing_MuchThere was a reason why it wasn't on Debian yet
02:44:41Nothing_MuchI think
02:44:45Nothing_MuchSDL 2 things and whatnot
02:45:27Nothing_Muchraptor: Would I be allowed to maintain a Debian package at all? Would I have to code anything?
02:45:34sam686Back then, I heard there was some license incompatibilities, maybe with "Triangle" part that was later removed/replaced..
02:46:33raptorNothing_Much: there isn't much coding as config-file editing and hacking
02:46:40sam686the "triangle" was for bot zome generation, replaced with poly2try?
02:46:43amgineabtw you do have to pay to upload Bf to steam though i say it would definitly be worth it
02:46:51amgineai would pay te 100$ :)
02:47:08amgineawe probably could get hundreds of users if we go steam
02:47:20amgineathat and iphone or andriod
02:47:35raptoramginea: that's very generous of you - I think watusimoto said he could easily provide the money. Our biggest issue is development time (and developers to fill it)
02:47:54Nothing_Muchraptor: Would that be just configuring the .ini file in Bitfighter or does that go deeper into the package itself?
02:48:10raptordeeper
02:48:17amgineado oyu not have enough dev already ?
02:48:26raptorthere would be several config files with different formats
02:48:48raptorand lots of reading
02:48:59raptoramginea: maybe in number, but not in time
02:49:14amgineai mean there you kaen watissimo sam
02:49:19raptorwe're mostly only providing hobby hours
02:49:37amgineaas far as i can tell you rpvide enough hours just with hobby time
02:49:52raptora lot more research and preparation is needed before we fork over the money
02:50:18amgineahonestly i dont think so in just your hobby time you already spedn the min time needed to keep the game up to date
02:50:48Nothing_Muchraptor: Hmm.. could I get an example of the config file or something from the OpenSUSE repo?
02:51:00raptorNothing_Much: yes, let me get you that link
02:51:30raptorhere: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:dbuck/bitfighter
02:51:38sam686some popular pc games is not on steam (minecraft is one of them)
02:51:47Nothing_Muchyeah
02:51:57raptorall the files starting with 'debian' and the 'bitfighter.dsc' are what's needed
02:52:14raptoralthough the openSUSE might be more automated than debians build system
02:52:28raptori don't even know how to set up the debian build system yet
02:52:45amginearaptor what prep an research is needed still between all te devs you got more then enough plp and time
02:53:41raptoramginea: we would need to research the steam requirements/rules. If we can compy with those, then we'd need to understand how to build and hook into their platform
02:53:45raptor*comply
02:54:04kaenwow I missed a ton
02:54:04raptorthen, if it is feasible, we can buy a dev license
02:54:13kaenI was watching more transistor videos :P
02:54:14amgineahttp://store.steampowered.com/app/219820
02:54:19amginearules for uplaod
02:54:39Nothing_Muchraptor: A build system?
02:55:32raptorNothing_Much: yeah... usually you have to build the package locally on your computer as a test before uploading to their main servers
02:55:47Nothing_Muchoh OH
02:55:51Nothing_MuchI can do that!
02:55:54Nothing_Muchin a VM
02:55:54raptorwhich means you need to set up the appropriate environment
02:56:06raptorbut this is the limit of my knowledge of debian
02:56:16Nothing_Muchhmm..
02:56:29Nothing_Muchdo you know OpenSUSE's build environment?
02:56:46Nothing_Muchbecause I can find the relative Debian libs/packages/things for the build
02:57:07kaenNothing_Much: the main hurdle is getting through the red tape
02:57:50Nothing_Muchkaen: you mean the Debian devs?
02:58:02raptori do know openSUSE quite well... i've been packaging for them for a long time
02:58:03Nothing_Muchor something else?
02:58:16kaenI think there is still one or two packages we need, unless you can talk the security and ftp teams into letting us statically link against poly2tri and tnl
02:58:18raptorNothing_Much: think of it as the DMV
02:58:37raptorerr... DMV == red tape
02:58:43Nothing_MuchDMV?
02:58:46kaenyes, but made up of programmers
02:58:54kaenand a legal team
02:58:59raptorwhich makes it so much worse...
02:59:01kaenand orchestrated primarily through email
02:59:10Nothing_Muchoh goodness
02:59:12Nothing_Muchwell
02:59:16kaenand that's it
02:59:17Nothing_Muchwhat about getting it into the USC?
02:59:23raptorDMV == place to get your drivers license
02:59:25kaennever heard of it
02:59:25kaenbut
02:59:31Nothing_Muchubuntu software center :P
02:59:40kaenI would really encourage you to pursue a debian or ubuntu package
03:00:03Nothing_Muchkaen: I'm a debian/ubuntu expert here!
03:00:04kaenif you can build bitfighter, you have the skills you need to make progress
03:00:09kaenif you're interested I mean
03:00:09Nothing_Muchyep!
03:00:18kaencool :)
03:00:20Nothing_Much:D Of course!
03:00:26kaenI'm happy to help if you get stuck, too
03:00:31Nothing_MuchSweet
03:00:33Nothing_MuchUh
03:00:36Nothing_MuchLemme get Debian on a vM
03:00:40Nothing_MuchVM*
03:00:48Nothing_MuchI'm loving this PC
03:00:51Nothing_Much16GB DDR3 RAM
03:00:58kaenwhoa!
03:01:02kaenI'm super jealous
03:01:02amgineabtw
03:01:03Nothing_MuchHeck yes!
03:01:14kaenthis thing hangs if I switch desktops too fast ...
03:01:24Nothing_Much4gb ddr2?
03:01:31sam686my windows 7 cpu: i7-2600 have 16 GB ram
03:01:32kaen4gb?
03:01:33kaenlol
03:01:37kaen2GB
03:01:42sam686my linux amd fx-4100 have 32 GB RAM
03:01:43Nothing_Muchouch kaen
03:01:44amgineaif we ever suddenly get 500 users or somthing we are going rto be having master server issues....
03:02:05Nothing_Muchamginea: you're so positive!
03:02:11kaenamginea: I have prepared much hope and sunshine for that day
03:02:20kaenwhich is primarily what powers bitfighter.org
03:02:32raptorhahaha - it's so true
03:02:57amgineawell i think the master server needs a slight adjustment cause if we suddenly get like 1000 user on BF Bf will be swarmed with like 200 sub servers and there will be alot of lag
03:03:12kaenfunny story: I was trying to play with a group of new users today
03:03:21kaenand they kept kicking me every time I joined
03:03:26amgineasee
03:03:27raptorha!
03:03:29Nothing_Muchaw
03:03:37kaenit's no big deal :P
03:03:43raptori think part of the appeal of bitfighter is LAN party
03:03:47sam686its probably not the game servers (there can be many), but mostly the master server
03:03:49Nothing_Muchperhaps they wanted a test run or that!
03:03:49amgineathats another issue giving server owners moderating powers =p
03:04:05kaenthat's not really an issue
03:04:18fordcarsI got kicked too
03:04:21amgineaone issue i can see is if we get alot of users your going to have some very ppl on Bf we need a way to give out BF master bans maybe
03:04:28fordcarsThey need to figure out how to put a password ;)
03:04:34raptori abused my admin powers once
03:04:44kaenthey did in the end, fordcars :P
03:04:45Nothing_Muchdoh
03:04:47fordcars:P
03:04:54raptorsome dude was swearing up a storm instead of playing, so i kicked him
03:05:02kaenI don't think that's abuse
03:05:09raptorhe came back just leave a few parting shots
03:05:09kaenI think that's active moderation
03:05:10Nothing_Mucheh
03:05:16Nothing_Muchdepends on the rules of the owner
03:05:18Nothing_Muchor something
03:05:24kaenyeah, exactly
03:05:25sam686one website problem is when if theres hundreds of players, then Players Online: shows too many players
03:05:30kaenyou use a server with the owner's permission
03:05:38amgineayes thats another prioblem i reaqlized
03:05:39sam686website could be filled with long list of players
03:05:45amgineain fact
03:06:04sam686and hope the players don't use stupid player name..
03:06:05amgineai may ofr tested doing that in a crtin manner it got completly garbled
03:06:29amgineaanyways what if somone goes around to many servers being rude can we enforce a Ban from the BF master server ?
03:06:37amgineacan we implement a beta system for that
03:06:38raptoryes, our hopen-and-sunshine powered systems have many DOS attack vectors
03:06:42amgineaas well as a reproting system
03:06:42raptor*hope
03:06:51raptoramginea: no
03:07:02raptorwe're too easy going
03:07:09raptorand we give server owners complete control
03:07:15amgineaim saying
03:07:27sam686ban from master server probably won't work, theres /connect and game holds previous server list
03:07:28amgineawhat ifr somone goes around being very bad on all the Bf servers
03:07:33kaenI think it would be reasonable to have a community-maintained blacklist. That was something curated by long-time community members in assault cube
03:07:41fordcarsAmgine, we couldn't I think
03:07:41kaenand server owners could use it if they wanted it
03:07:47raptorkaen: oh?
03:07:53raptorthat's a really interesting idea...
03:07:56amginearemove it from th4e ini then interilize it ?
03:07:59fordcarsWe could only block the Master List, not access to the servers
03:08:00amgineathen ?
03:08:04raptormaybe we could provide a central list that server owners could enable
03:08:18amgineamaybe we should rethink our MS system then
03:08:20raptorthat's actually quite compatible with how we do things
03:08:28kaenthat's even a step further than they took it, but I like that improvement
03:08:35amginealike a forced connect through te master server before local connect
03:08:42raptorbut in reality
03:08:48kaenin AC it was just a massive forum thread with an edited top post
03:08:49amgineathat way if you try to connect to a internet server your blockedf
03:09:01amgineais that possible ?
03:09:03raptorwe get... 1? maybe 2? obnoxious players a year?
03:09:04sam686although its possible to 'hide' some servers on the list, like I hidden a BBB server when BBB ended when raptor couldn't kill that server that autostart..
03:09:24amgineafor any non local server force connection thorugh the BF master before conection that way they cant b/e ?
03:09:49kaenI agree raptor
03:09:50raptori don't think it's a big enough issue to warrant much time on yet
03:09:56kaenthere's not much of a need for it now
03:10:22sam686for connection to master server... what if master server dies? bye bye game...
03:10:22amgineaI disagree with it being on gamejolt and desaura ( i think ) it could suddenly take off
03:10:44amgineaim 1200% sure if we put it on steam it will take off
03:10:49amgineathats why im pressuring it
03:11:17amgineawhat if there was a auto reset systemn if bitfighter.org craashes it auto resets after 10 seconds
03:11:30amgineathat would resolve ourt issues with BF crashing
03:11:42amgineaas bitfighter.org controsl the master server as well
03:12:17sam686im not too sure if steam might do... For many games that are on both console and PC steam, there are a lot more players on PS3/xbox
03:12:30Nothing_Muchsam686: lol
03:12:48amgineayou never answered my question first btw for any non local game is it posible to force connection to BF master first so if we ever have to create a banned BF master list ?
03:13:42Nothing_MuchWhen a Steam Machine comes out and from what I know, Greenlight will be discontinued and eventually Steam will become a self-publishing tool
03:13:42Nothing_MuchSo you can make a mini bitfighter webpage on Steam :D
03:14:23amgineawould a ps3 Xbos port of BF be hard ?
03:14:49Nothing_MuchProbably
03:15:01Nothing_MuchXbox uses DirectX and from what I've heard, BF is strictly OpenGL
03:15:12Nothing_MuchPS3 also uses a modified version of OGL
03:15:45raptorwe probably have some development work to get ready for steam. one thing that comes to mind is to use the SDL gamecontroller framework instead of our homegrown joystick code
03:16:03Nothing_Muchoh oh!
03:16:12Nothing_MuchValve's gonna release a Steam controller!
03:16:40Nothing_Muchhttp://venturebeat.com/2014/03/16/valves-latest-steam-controller-design-looks-a-little-less-crazy/
03:18:02sam686$ony/micro$oft won't just let anyone freely publish any junk game into their console, they need to check, verify, and test if that game is good, and each game updates comes with another check/ verify, and test, causing update delays.
03:18:26raptoryeah, they really want quality
03:18:40fordcarsYep
03:18:44raptorwe may have to build out our test suite more to get it into something like steam, too
03:19:04Nothing_MuchHmm..
03:19:07fordcarsWeb is the only way to even get close to get it on console I guess
03:19:13Nothing_MuchHow do I chroot?
03:19:13fordcarswith Gamepad API
03:19:31raptoremscripten...
03:19:36fordcarsHeh
03:19:48raptorone day! we'll unlock its secrets!
03:19:56fordcarsYes!
03:20:14amgineabbl :) remeber what we talked ab out it will happen thats why im asking in advance :)
03:20:26Nothing_Muchabout steam amginea?
03:21:07raptoramginea: please don't spend any money... we need to take the conservative approach, I believe
03:21:47amgineawatrs are not won by not fighting :)
03:21:54amgineawars
03:21:57amgineacya
03:22:06raptorlater
03:22:15Nothing_Muchl8r dude!
03:22:39Nothing_Muchoh man a wired connection is SO much better than wifi!
03:22:48fordcarsTots!
03:22:58fordcarsMan, my wi-fi is killing me in Debian here
03:23:02fordcarsI ran out of ideas
03:23:10fordcarsKeeps disconnecting on in Debian
03:23:43fordcarsI even tried modify the .config to always use my home wi-fi, keeps disconnecting
03:23:54Nothing_MuchUpgrade to Ubuntu dude :P
03:23:57fordcarsHaha
03:24:15fordcarsDebian is complicated to get going
03:24:22Nothing_Muchnah
03:24:25fordcarsI am such a linux noob
03:24:26Nothing_MuchYou know what is complicated though?
03:24:29Nothing_MuchArch Linux
03:24:33fordcarsHah probably
03:24:42Nothing_MuchIt starts you off at the command line
03:24:48Nothing_MuchAnd you have to have an internet connection
03:24:55Nothing_MuchThen you need to do everything from scratch
03:24:56fordcarsHeh
03:25:01Nothing_MuchI tried it once
03:25:05Nothing_MuchThe community is horrific
03:25:11Nothing_MuchSo I went back to Ubuntu
03:25:17fordcarsWow
03:25:20Nothing_MuchYeah
03:25:26fordcarsWhy?
03:25:33raptorso
03:25:36raptoractually
03:25:43Nothing_Much"Read you retard; Oh my god, you're such an idiot, can't you read?"
03:25:52raptorI find the Arch Linux community to be one of the most knowledgable out there
03:26:00Nothing_MuchYeah they're knowledgable
03:26:06raptoroh wow... that's... different than I expected
03:26:07Nothing_MuchBut they're assholes towards newbies
03:26:14Nothing_MuchLike, really
03:26:14raptormaybe they've gone downhill
03:26:20Nothing_MuchHow long ago was that raptor?
03:26:29raptorabout 1.5-2 years ago
03:26:32Nothing_MuchMy experience was like, in 2013'
03:26:35raptorthey were really good
03:26:38Nothing_MuchMaybe 2012
03:26:38raptorhmmm
03:26:41raptorok, well
03:26:51raptorit is complicated for sure.. :)
03:26:52Nothing_MuchAt least in IRC
03:27:01raptoroh, i never did IRC
03:27:04raptorjust forums/wiki
03:27:13Nothing_MuchThe forums/wiki are definitely good
03:27:19Nothing_MuchEspecially the wiki
03:27:28Nothing_MuchBut the community just made me "nope" all the way back to Ubuntu
03:27:38raptorthat stinks
03:27:40kaenNothing_Much: that was exactly my experience too
03:27:56Nothing_Muchkaen: no kidding?
03:28:01fordcarsMan, every community has a "LoneWolf", dunno why
03:28:15kaenno kidding
03:28:29Nothing_Muchyeah the IRC is horrible
03:28:31Nothing_Muchwould not go back
03:28:37kaenthe installation process feels like a joke
03:28:37Nothing_MuchIRC channel
03:28:43sam686Saw some youtube video of someone put laptop in a freezer when installing/compiling arch linux, maybe cause compiling overheats cpu?
03:28:52kaenI finally get net access, and had to irssi into the channel
03:29:16kaenand just nothing but down talking and "read the wiki"
03:29:18Nothing_MuchOh god, getting the internet to work on a dedicated machine through Arch was such a pain

03:29:43Nothing_MuchThat's when someone went on a rant
03:29:46kaenoh, heaven help you
03:29:48Nothing_MuchI almost remember it
03:29:55Nothing_MuchHe was all
03:30:37Nothing_Much"Oh my god, OH MY GOD, these newbies here are so fucking stupid, why can't anybody READ nowadays?"
03:30:50fordcarsEw
03:30:58Nothing_MuchWell, excuse me for trying your beloved distro. :/
03:31:38raptorwell, as a bitfighter crowd, let us try to not be like those guys
03:31:51kaenyes
03:31:58Nothing_MuchYeah, I discussed this at one point re: HoN
03:32:21Nothing_MuchHoN is a game that's full of a bunch of elitist people who literally kick newbies and the newbies never get a chance to learn how to play the game
03:32:34Nothing_MuchSo.. yeah, that's why you probably never heard of it
03:32:42Nothing_MuchIt's like LoL or Dota
03:33:06Nothing_MuchI've yet to play it yet
03:33:27fordcarslol LoL
03:33:28Nothing_Much*though
03:34:43Nothing_MuchI'm only going by what I've heard though
03:35:03raptorback alter
03:35:03Nothing_MuchBut considering how small the player base is
03:35:09Nothing_Muchl8r raptor
03:35:39sam686I guess ubuntu is for newbies that can at least figure out how to use the web browser, all without having to install (live-disk)
03:36:45Nothing_Muchsam686: That's their aim, that and convergence
03:40:29Nothing_Muchsheesh Debian, even on this PC it's taking a while to install :(
03:42:07fordcarsYou are installing it?
03:44:27Nothing_Muchfordcars: Yep, gonna use it to build BF for Debian :D

04:06:29fordcarslol
04:06:33fordcarsYeah, that is all
04:07:56kaenfordcars: no, but I believe you can tell if it is "mounted"
04:08:10fordcarsI Nexus?
04:08:18kaenin any game mode
04:08:24fordcarsOh wow
04:08:26fordcarsWait
04:08:42fordcarsI have this object (a flag item which is taken in Nexus)
04:09:00fordcarsAnd then, when I try to get it's object type after it has been taken
04:09:04fordcarsIt returns nil
04:09:08fordcarsBut the object is not nil
04:09:29kaenoh whoa
04:09:33kaenI misunderstood you
04:09:36kaenthat's a bug :)
04:09:39fordcarsSorry :P
04:09:44fordcarsWell poop
04:10:23fordcarsmaybe it is only in Nexus?
04:10:26kaenfordcars: try using isInCaptureZone
04:10:41kaenI have no idea if it would work, but it's worth a try
04:10:50kaen(if it does, I think that's bug too :P)
04:10:54fordcarsHaha okok
04:11:06amgineabtw wy was pickup soccer changed to shoot soccer ?
04:11:11amgineajsut wondering
04:11:20amgineai wish i coulda tried pickupsoccer
04:12:01fordcarsMeh it's nil too

04:28:00raptori'm pretty sure an object is supposed to go to nil if it's removed somehow
04:28:02fordcarsWhere else does a flag dissapear?
04:28:09fordcarsOh, well items, yeah I don't know
04:28:13raptormaybe nexus flags are a bit weird...
04:28:17fordcarsMaybe so
04:28:28raptorsince they combine and drop combined, etc.
04:29:54fordcarsYeah

04:32:48fordcarsSure, but I don't know which
04:33:07fordcarsI guess, make it nil? Should flags dissapear when grabbed?
04:33:51raptoror maybe have a test to be a Nexus flag, with options to see how many it represents?
04:34:29fordcarsOh yeah

23:26:25Nothing_MuchI know there's checkinstall for "make" build environments
23:26:34Nothing_MuchBut from what I know, Bitfighter migrated to Cmake
23:26:36sam686not too sure, I mostly don't do such package
23:26:43Nothing_MuchAh okay

23:29:09Nothing_Muchalright, well hopefully I can focus on this stuff
23:29:28kaenthere's also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete which can help, but of course there are some differences between ubuntu and debian
23:29:38Nothing_Muchright
23:29:44Nothing_Muchbut from what you told me kaen
23:29:52Nothing_Muchubuntu takes Debian's packages from upstream
23:29:56kaenright
23:29:57Nothing_MuchUbuntu*
23:30:08kaenbut the ubuntu one is more clearly written
23:30:16kaenand the processes have a lot of overlap
