01:01:20fordcarsHi
01:01:31raptorLo
01:02:14raptorwhat I need is some easy way to take screen shots of 271 levels
01:02:42raptorI'm almost done with the pleiades import script...
01:02:48raptorbut there will be no screenshots
01:04:30fordcarsHehe
01:04:49fordcarsI guess you could import all the levels in Bitfighter and make it screenshot each one
01:05:09raptoryes... hmmm
01:18:53raptorhave to sleep.. night!

01:57:05raptorok i lied
01:57:15raptorthe pleiades import is so close that I have to finish it
01:57:54fordcarsHaha
01:58:36fordcarsI'v been hacking Bitfighter's gameObjectRender for a while now, it looks real fancy (as in ugly)
01:58:53fordcarsAnyway, going to bed, night!
01:58:57fordcars Quit (Quit: Page closed)
01:59:32raptorok here goes sam686 (I see you are logged on bitfighter.org)
01:59:43raptorI'm going to run my pleiades import script
01:59:48raptorand see what happens...
02:03:15raptorsam686: do you remember the mysql password for the 'backup' user? I can't seem to find it anywhere
02:13:28raptorIT WORKED
02:13:34raptorall levels loaded into pleiades...
02:13:38raptornow let's turn it on!
02:15:42sam686hi raptor
02:15:45raptorSUCESS
02:15:48raptorSUCCESS
02:15:50raptorhi
02:16:04sam686i happen to changed the backup password, looking for password wait a minute
02:16:10raptorpleiades has all the data back I can get: http://bitfighter.org/levels/
02:17:23raptortada!: http://bitfighter.org/levels/users/view/122
02:17:50sam686possible conflicting database ID? make new levels database ID start at 500 maybe?
02:18:06raptornope, I put in all the original IDs
02:18:07sam686well. for new levels at least
02:18:15raptoroh...
02:18:16raptoruhh
02:18:26raptoris there a way to change the AUTO_INCREMENT?
02:18:30raptorfor the levels table?
02:18:44sam686don't know yet..
02:19:03raptoroh no wait
02:19:05raptorit's already set
02:19:10raptorat 290
02:19:12raptorthat's perfect
02:19:16raptorlast ID was 289
02:19:17Flynnn Quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
02:19:23raptori guess it was smart enough to adjust
02:19:41raptormaybe i'll set it to 300 to be safe
02:19:44sam686i think it goes by the last ID
02:19:57raptordone
02:23:53raptorsam686: can you please force a backup from the plieades table?
02:24:01raptordoes it go to your server nightly?
02:27:15raptori'm gonig to test the upload..
02:27:23raptorto pleiades
02:27:39sam686what? the copy of my database?
02:28:35raptordid you set up on-the-fly replication to your copy of the database?
02:28:54sam686it already got the level database copy of your import, its like on-the fly copy, only transferring the changes made on database
02:29:04raptoroh great!
02:29:05raptorthanks
02:30:22Flynnn has joined
02:33:49sam686can't make changes to slave database or it will cause slave database to go out of sync from master (slave doesn't control the master)
02:33:59raptorthat's fine
02:34:05raptori got in and changed my password
02:34:08raptorthank you
02:34:47sam686at least you can do expensive select queries there..
02:42:48raptorok, uploading from editor works well
02:42:56raptorok, time for bed fo rme...
02:48:45raptornight!

10:45:58raptorgood morning!
10:47:55raptorwatusimoto: if you didn't see, the level database is back!
10:50:21raptori'm the only one at work in my hallway... time for some Vivaldi!
10:51:13LordDVG has joined
11:18:16watusimotofantastic!
11:18:28watusimotoon the vivaldi, that is... and good job on the database as well
11:18:35raptorhaha
11:19:17watusimotoI was just thinking about how I'm going to find a job when I get back to pdx
11:19:35watusimotofun fun
11:19:36raptoroh... you are moving soon
11:19:42watusimotoin august
11:19:51raptorthen you'll only be taxed once again!
11:20:00watusimotothat's why I've been going on so many trips... using my vacation while it's still interesting
11:20:16raptor(as opposed to twice)
11:20:31watusimotoyes
11:20:42watusimotoand if I'm unemployed, I won't be taxed at all!
11:23:18watusimotoso many unpleasant tasks await me... buying a car, getting internet service, finding a job, etc.
11:24:26raptorI admire your bravery... I'm the type that has to have everything in place before I make a change
11:24:56watusimotowhat options do I have? Maybe I could get my internet service figured out, but buying a car kind of has to be done in person
11:25:11raptoryeah, true...
11:25:12watusimotoand jobs are easier to find when you can actually present yourself for an interview
11:25:43raptormy wife has xpat experience
11:25:57raptorbut her dad always just moved around from oil company to oil company
11:26:27watusimotoit's a lot easier when you have someone helping you move
11:27:09watusimotothe best was when I went to Peru... company just showed up and poof... everything was gone
11:27:30raptorwow
11:27:50watusimotoand when we got kicked out of the country... (the company, not me personally), they showed up at my apartment with a big stack of bills and settled everything with my landlord
11:28:25watusimotothen my stuff just magically appeared in Minneapolis
11:28:43raptornow that's good treatment
11:28:50watusimotoindeed
11:28:58watusimotoit hasn't usually been like that
11:29:10watusimotobut it's really nice when it is
11:29:44watusimotoand it will NOT be like that this time
11:30:09watusimoto$7000+ out of pocket and a lot of stress

22:05:54fordcarsHi
22:10:58fordcarsHey no_mu I've been working on some ideas for eye candy
22:11:10fordcarsThey are all hacks, but it's only to see how it would looks like
22:11:20fordcarsBut I ran out of ideas hehe
22:11:21no_mufordcars: ooo nice!
22:11:24no_muhmm
22:11:25no_muwell
22:11:29no_mudo ya have any demos?
22:11:42fordcarsYeah haha, they are... interesting
22:12:09fordcarshttp://i.imgbox.com/AtGbQW4W.png
22:12:16fordcarsJust a test on the error messages
22:12:28fordcarsIt also works in the editor
22:12:42no_muIs it a concept art or did you program it into the game? o.o
22:12:46fordcarsI also have some in-game stuff
22:12:50fordcarsYeah, programmed :)
22:13:01fordcarshttp://i.imgbox.com/0bPBb7hw.png
22:13:07fordcarsRed-green looks really great
22:13:14fordcarsHahahahahah
22:13:16no_muPython or C++?
22:13:24fordcarsC++
22:13:28no_muor which language?
22:13:29no_muoh nice
22:13:34fordcarsJust hacked a few things in the code
22:13:41no_muIt looks decent
22:13:58no_muthough the shader programming may be a tough nut to crack
22:14:14fordcarsI've been working on some in-game stuff, and I hacked the code to have a small animation system
22:14:17no_muespecially for the uh.. inners of the game
22:14:21fordcarsI thought that too
22:14:27fordcarsBut, they don't exit in Bitfighter
22:14:35no_muexist*?
22:14:39fordcarsNo shaders, since it's OpenGl 1.2
22:14:43fordcars*exist yeah haha
22:14:55fordcarsShaders were implemented in OpenGl 2
22:14:59no_muYeah... I think Bitfighter will be passed on since most people nowadays want more eye candy
22:15:08fordcarsYeah probably
22:15:22no_muIt might be time for an upgrade or at least an alternative download
22:15:40fordcarsIf Bitfighter would be converted to OpenGl 2, not only would we have shaders, but it would work on Rpi (finally!)
22:15:42no_muWhich IMO I think can or SHOULD be compatible with the original graphics!
22:15:50fordcarsYes!
22:15:55no_muAnd other mobile consoles :)
22:15:59fordcars^^
22:16:00fordcarsYep
22:16:11fordcarsKaen said he might be able to do it
22:16:12no_muSo far the best mobile console would be the Nvidia shield
22:16:17no_munice
22:16:17fordcars^^
22:16:23no_muAlso for SteamOS
22:16:25fordcarsI want one for Bitfighter
22:16:31no_muTry and get BF on Steam at some point :D
22:16:39fordcarsTotally :D
22:16:49no_muYeah, I really would like to see BF on a mobile console
22:16:58no_muWhether it's Android or Ubuntu, whatever :D
22:17:05no_mueh
22:17:07no_mumostly ubuntu lol
22:17:10fordcarsI agree hehe
22:17:26fordcarsBitfighter mobile would be really fun (well, if we have enough controls)
22:17:46fordcarsThat's why Nvidia shield would work great
22:17:46no_mufordcars: There's plenty of controls on the Nvidia shield
22:17:49fordcars^^
22:17:52no_muEven trigger L and R buttons :D
22:18:03fordcarsI am seriously considering getting one
22:18:16fordcarsAnd Building Bitfighter for it (since raptor built Bitfighter for android)
22:19:01no_mufordcars: Dude, compiling is the easiest step in programming lol
22:19:10no_muYou don't even need to be a programmer to compile :D
22:19:17fordcarsLol nope :P
22:19:28no_muIt really is!
22:19:34no_mu./configure :)
22:19:38fordcarsHaha
22:20:08fordcarsOh crap I don't think Nvidia Shield supports OpenGl 1.2, it only supports OpenGl 2
22:20:21no_muoh my goodness I really don't like KDE at all...
22:20:22fordcarsBitfighter should really get to OpenGl 2 I guess
22:20:29fordcarsReally? I use Gnome 3
22:20:30no_muyeah
22:20:38no_mufordcars: Gnome 3 is amazing imo
22:20:43fordcarsYeah totally
22:20:50fordcarsIt's really fancy
22:20:55no_muhonestly, did you guys see the controversy regarding OpenGL sucking?
22:21:28fordcarsNope?
22:21:33no_muit was mostly for Linux
22:21:37fordcarsBut there is nothing else than OpenGl haha
22:21:42fordcarsApart from DirectX
22:21:44fordcarsFor windows
22:21:51no_mubut yeah, a lot of developers, especially some Valve employees were critical about it
22:22:07fordcarsNever heard of that :O
22:22:24no_muhttp://www.extremetech.com/gaming/182343-why-we-cant-have-nice-things-valve-programmer-discusses-wretched-state-of-opengl
22:25:02YoshiSmb_m has joined
22:25:27fordcarsI think they are criticizing the drivers more
22:25:37fordcarsBut it may be time for a new OpenGL
22:25:51fordcarsBut I have no idea since I barely know anything about OpenGL haha
22:28:09no_muFrom a consumer standpoint, OpenGL is a spec that's implemented by AMD and Nvidia, while Intel and AMD are contributing to the FOSS implementation of OpenGL on Linux called Mesa.
22:28:21fordcarsOh yeah Mesa
22:28:43fordcarsBut Nvidia and Intel are pretty much the same :)
22:30:43no_muEh, not really
22:30:46no_muNvidia doesn't do crap for Nouveau
22:31:19no_muHowever, IMO the best GPU manufacturer to support would be AMD
22:31:41fordcarsOh man sorry I though Nvidia was an Intel sub-company
22:32:28fordcarsIt looks like Microsoft pays a lot of $$ to GPU makers to optimize their cards for DirectX, when OpenGL users have to figure out a bunch of driver stuff
22:33:59fordcarsBut it looks like there are still quite a lot of Graphics APIs out there
22:37:35no_mufordcars: LOL no, Nvidia, AMD and Intel are 3 separate companies
22:37:44no_muIntel being the biggest (asshole) as well
22:37:44fordcarsHehe sorry
22:37:52fordcarsPossibly (proably)
22:38:01no_muThey are
22:38:11fordcarsHaha ok
22:38:13no_muThey're monopolistic and waste their resources on x86
22:38:30no_muSeriously, this is why you barely see AMD chips in businesses and stuff
22:38:38fordcarsI don't have Intel here
22:38:42fordcarsI have AMD :)
22:38:46no_muIntel literally pays OEMs and makes them sign agreements to specifically NOT use AMD chips
22:38:51no_munice
22:38:52fordcarsUrgh
22:39:00no_muYeah Intel makes good products
22:39:06no_muBut their business practices are horrific
22:39:18no_muI don't wanna support them
22:39:20fordcarsNot suprised
22:39:23fordcarsThat they suck
22:39:25no_muEven though they contribute a LOT to Mes
22:39:28no_muMesa*
22:39:31no_muScrew this keyboard
22:39:35fordcarsHeh
22:39:48no_muI hate this laptop so much
22:41:02fordcarsIt looks like Intel and friends started working with Mesa after 2012
22:41:11fordcarsMesa started n 1993
22:41:31fordcarsMesa is the OpenGL implementation for several types of hardware made by Intel, AMD and NVIDIA, plus the VMware virtual GPU.
22:41:57fordcarsMesa looks pretty cool actually
22:42:04no_muYep
22:42:50fordcarsWow
22:43:10fordcarsOpenGL 4.4 is out, while Bitfighter still uses OpenGL 1.2
22:43:25no_muIt wasn't until recently when Valve started contributing to Mesa that the drivers were drastically improving
22:43:31no_muYeah..
22:43:36no_muDefinitely behind the times
22:43:43no_muBut all BF needs is shaders for eye candy
22:44:03fordcarsBitfighter works with Mesa really well, I used it to get better optimisation for RPi with X.org
22:44:08fordcarsBetter FPS
22:45:01no_muYep
22:45:14no_muHold up, you got it functioning on the RPi?
22:45:47fordcarsNah
22:46:03fordcarsOnly with X.org, so 6 fps max (with 100x100 window)
22:46:33fordcarsIt needs to be converted to OpenGl 2 to get 1200x1000 60fps or something
22:53:02fordcarsActually, it looks like OpenGl 2 is very simular (backward-compatible) to OpenGL 1
22:53:07fordcars*similar
23:04:05no_mumaybe
23:04:12no_muidk lol
23:06:05fordcarsHehe neither do I
23:06:39YoshiSmb_mNothing_Much...
23:08:15YoshiSmb_mor fordy
23:08:17YoshiSmb_mhi
23:10:14YoshiSmb_mok... im getting paranoic...?
23:24:49fordcarsHi
23:27:21no_muwho wut
23:38:36YoshiSmb_mi was afk, until i started to read the whole conversation
23:40:24YoshiSmb_m*Most messed up conversation ever*
23:41:36no_mulol
