13:51:29Raven67854I'm so bored
13:52:01fordcarsraptor: you can't bf:findAllObjects(array, ObjType.WallItem), bummer
13:52:09fordcarsIt returns an empty array
13:52:33Nothing_MuchRaven67854: "Do something!" "Do something!" "Do something!"
13:52:42Raven67854I know Nothing_Much :(
13:52:56Nothing_MuchSpaceballs!
13:52:58Raven67854Nothing_Much, might go play a game with Tadzik
13:53:17Nothing_Muchwut kinda game?
13:53:50raptorfordcars: correct - you'll probably have to just spit out the level file data
13:54:05Raven67854Nothing_Much, no idea
13:54:08fordcarsOh wow, I don't have access to that I think
13:54:10Nothing_Muchoic Raven67854
13:54:18fordcarsIt has to be in the screenshot folder
13:54:26fordcarsOr I can use the server for that
13:54:31raptorhmmm
13:54:37fordcarsThat might work, it looks like a huge hack though :P
13:55:00raptorthere's gotta be a way to get the walls...
13:55:19Nothing_Muchraptor: Is there a more recent version of a map made by kaen?

17:25:45NeonPortalEYO
17:26:13NeonPortalWakeup fellas I think i might get someone in here. >:)
17:27:03NeonPortal>:I nvm
17:31:32fordcarsraptor, findAllObjects(array, ObjType.WallItem) doesn't work, but findAllObjects(array, ObjType.Barrier) does!
17:56:17Nothing_Muchaw darn NeonPortal
17:56:38Nothing_Muchoh, I'm wondering, what's that other game you used to play on Instantaction?
17:58:34Nothing_MuchNeonPortal: ^
18:09:11fordcarsNothing_Much: http://24.202.250.215:3000
18:09:26fordcarsI managed to get walls, and added bullets :)
18:10:56zzattack has left #bitfighter
18:24:32NeonPortalNothing_Much: I loved think tanks, marble blast was okay..
18:25:00Nothing_Muchoh my god fordcars, you're so smart
18:25:04Nothing_Muchoh dude
18:25:06NeonPortalNothing_Much: at the time the plane game was too much for my computers
18:25:16Nothing_Muchmake the bullets color coded
18:25:28Nothing_MuchNeonPortal: I never played any instantaction games :(
18:26:41fordcarsHaha
18:26:58fordcarsMe neither
18:28:17NeonPortaldang Nothing_Much
18:28:26NeonPortalCheck out the games they did have i found a trailer
18:29:14Nothing_MuchNeonPortal: I saw the ZAP trailer
18:29:27NeonPortalwww.youtube.com/watch?v=tmJi5DR6RUw
18:30:00NeonPortalI like their version of zap better because instead of the whole ship moving instead the gun moves and the ship only moves the direction you point it with W A S D
18:31:22NeonPortalNothing_Much:
18:31:39fordcarsNeonPortal: try going in the Bitfighter settings and setting the control mode to Relative
18:31:39Nothing_MuchNeonPortal: wut
18:31:45Nothing_Muchyeah change it to relative
18:31:49Nothing_Muchif that's what you're going for
18:31:57Nothing_Muchcuz I think that solves your problem that you're describing
18:32:05NeonPortalfordcars: you'll have to help me with that.
18:32:23NeonPortalfordcars: Nothing_Much you guys will ahve to help me when im not eating, AFK
18:32:24Nothing_MuchNeonPortal: just go to options
18:32:26fordcarsClick on options, then Input, then Controle
18:32:29fordcars*Controls
18:32:30Nothing_Muchah okay
18:32:42Nothing_Muchit's pretty neat
18:32:47Nothing_MuchI think I should do that
18:33:34Nothing_Muchfordcars: your walls are shrinking!
18:33:41fordcarsHaha I know :P
18:33:47Nothing_Muchno wait
18:33:50Nothing_Muchit's just moving
18:33:52fordcarsThe bottom right corner?
18:33:53Nothing_Muchrefreshed the page
18:33:55Nothing_Muchyeah
18:34:01fordcarsYeah :P
18:34:46Nothing_Muchnot sure what it is
18:34:47Nothing_Muchbrb
18:36:01NeonPortalNothing_Much: how bout tht trailer?
18:52:55Nothing_Muchit's unofficial lol
18:53:04Nothing_MuchNeonPortal: ^\
18:54:53NeonPortallol but oyu didnt care for anyo f those games?
19:06:24Nothing_MuchThey looked awesome
19:06:29Nothing_MuchBut from what I know
19:06:34Nothing_MuchThere was no GNU/Linux support :(
19:10:21NeonPortalcant install flash?
19:10:30Nothing_MuchThose were Flash games?
19:12:05Nothing_MuchNeonPortal: ^
19:12:23NeonPortalI think so, i dont remember, it was all platform based
19:12:33Nothing_Muchagh, nah it's not the plugin
19:12:36Nothing_Muchit's the executable
19:12:46Nothing_Muchno linux games = no playing from me
19:12:57Nothing_Muchthankfully Bitfighter is on GNU/Linu
19:12:59Nothing_Muchx
19:14:47Nothing_Muchfordcars: I think you should put a password on your server
19:16:36Nothing_Muchfordcars: because a Chumpchange is just sitting in there idle o.o
19:29:58fordcarsHi
19:30:06fordcarsYeh, maybe I should :P
19:30:44fordcarsInstantAction used a proprietairy plugin which was pretty much only an executable downloaded on the computer that played in the browser
19:34:41Raven67854oh instantaction!
19:34:45Raven67854I loved that
19:35:05Nothing_Muchfordcars: Ah man, that would've sucked
19:35:19fordcarsYeah haha
19:35:22Nothing_Muchfor Linux
19:35:34Nothing_MuchUnless they were still alive and decided to support Linux
19:35:35Raven67854I liked rokkitball
19:35:40NeonPortalYeah
19:35:54NeonPortalI couldnt ever get into it, my shitty porn infested sony couldnt handle it
19:35:58NeonPortalThanks to my brother r.r
19:36:28Nothing_Muchoh my
19:36:39Raven67854Holy shit it was Zap!
19:36:39Nothing_Muchgotta use dat antivirus dude
19:36:40Raven67854that was the game
19:36:48Raven67854maybe that's why bitfighter is so familiar to me
19:36:48Raven67854haha
19:36:54Nothing_MuchRaven67854: I was going to tell you about the history of this game
19:36:57Nothing_MuchBut you said you didn't care :P
19:37:03Raven67854Nothing_Much, I don't honestly
19:37:05Raven67854ahhh
19:37:11Raven67854InstantAction <3 how I miss you
19:37:16fordcarsHaha Raven67854 told you ;D
19:37:22Nothing_MuchIt used to be GarageGames
19:37:22Raven67854 high fives fordcars
19:37:31Guest2392 Quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
19:37:32Nothing_MuchThen turned into what you're nostalgiaing over
19:37:38Nothing_MuchNow it's back as GarageGames
19:37:42fordcars high fives back
19:37:48Raven67854Nothing_Much, the hell are you talking about
19:37:59fordcarsHaha
19:38:12Nothing_MuchGarageGames turned into Instantaction, then back to GarageGames
19:38:13NeonPortalbitfighter is zap unmodified
19:38:21fordcarsThe InstantAction's Zap was based on GarageGame's Zap, which is what Bitfighter is based on
19:38:22Nothing_MuchThey made the Torque engine
19:38:30Raven67854I know what GG is
19:38:38Nothing_MuchWell, Zap! was GG and ZAP was Instantaction
19:38:48fordcarsYep
19:38:57Raven67854Used to be a TGE user back in the day
19:39:00Raven67854and later a TGEA
19:39:11fordcarsBitfighter changed a lot since Zap
19:39:13Nothing_MuchI love the history of this game and its small community here :D
19:39:31Nothing_Muchfordcars: I was told that the static background from ZAP was disorientating
19:39:35Nothing_MuchIs that true?
19:39:36fordcarshttp://www.garagegames.com/products/download/39
19:39:42fordcarsDownload it!
19:39:48fordcarsThe demo is still available
19:40:13Nothing_MuchHoly crap
19:40:13fordcarsLink expires: Never
19:40:15Nothing_MuchI see
19:40:20Raven67854GarageGames used to be cool stuffs
19:40:23Nothing_MuchBut the last time I checked it was password protected
19:40:28Nothing_MuchNot anymore!
19:40:33fordcarsNope :P
19:40:37fordcarsRaven67854: yep
19:40:47Nothing_MuchOh look at that
19:40:47fordcarsNow it's only Torque 3d/2d
19:40:53Raven67854I learned a lot then moved onto building my own engines
19:40:55Raven67854and....
19:41:01Raven67854Hooray
19:41:05Nothing_MuchIt's looking for libstdc++.so.5 o.o
19:41:17fordcarsOh wow
19:41:33fordcarsNothing_Much: it's old, I don't know
19:41:39fordcarsBut try downloading that lib
19:42:14Raven67854Wonder how the current version of Torque3D is doing for a Linux port
19:42:15Nothing_MuchYeah I'm lookin' for it
19:43:11Nothing_MuchWhoa, it's in the Ubuntu repo!
19:43:27fordcarsNothing_Much: It' a pretty big one I think
19:43:46fordcarsBitfighter uses an old Torque
19:43:54fordcarsTorque Network Library
19:44:00fordcarsaka tnl
19:44:01Nothing_MuchThe TNL I think GG decided to drop
19:44:04Raven67854Haha the TNL
19:44:12Nothing_MuchNetwork Library!
19:44:18fordcarsIt's old shit
19:44:23Raven67854To much nostalgia
19:44:24Raven67854must stop
19:44:25fordcarsHaha
19:44:46Nothing_MuchWhat could BF use if TNL becomes *too* outdated? :(
19:45:09fordcarsNothing_Much: another one :)
19:45:13fordcarsbut it won't
19:45:22Raven67854I can't imagine TNL becoming outdated
19:45:28fordcarsIt can't be outdated, the devs always update it
19:45:32fordcarsWell often
19:45:37Nothing_MuchOh really?
19:45:42Raven67854TNL does what its supposed to do
19:45:44fordcarsThey were working on making it support IPv6
19:45:47Raven67854also raknet is now open source
19:45:55fordcarsRaven67854: it handles the network stuff
19:46:02Raven67854fordcars, I know
19:46:10Nothing_Muchfordcars: Will IPv6 still be implemented?
19:46:17fordcarsI think that Bitfighter might use it's own library at some point
19:46:25fordcarsNothing_Much: I think so, it's on GoogleCode
19:46:30Nothing_MuchAh
19:46:33Raven67854Its clear you should move everything to SDL2
19:46:45fordcarsIt already is on SDL2
19:46:56fordcarsOnly linux is SDL1.2, but it supports SDL2
19:47:15Raven67854Oh well no worries then
19:47:19fordcarsHaha
19:47:48Nothing_Muchfordcars: raptor gave me an amd64 version of BF that uses SDL2
19:48:05Nothing_MuchAnd the standalone Linux version uses SDL2
19:48:13Nothing_MuchIt's only a matter of getting it on Debian and other distros
19:48:20Nothing_MuchI think mostly Debian though
19:48:25fordcarsYep
19:48:46NeonPortalso guys
19:48:52NeonPortalI changed it to relatives but that didnt work
19:49:00NeonPortalmy ship still just turned whichever way the mouse is
19:49:13Nothing_Muchyou mean you want the WASD keys?
19:49:14fordcarsWe thought that is what you wanted
19:49:33NeonPortalOH no no no, I mean on Instant action
19:49:38NeonPortalInstead of the ship following the mouse
19:49:51Nothing_Muchyou move with WASD?
19:49:54NeonPortalwhat they had is a gun on top, and the gun would ofllow the mouse, however the ship only faced which way you pointed it according to W A S D
19:49:55Nothing_Muchthat would be Absolute
19:49:57Nothing_Muchwhich is the default
19:50:24fordcarsYeah
19:50:26Nothing_MuchI have no idea what that is..
19:50:36fordcarsHha
19:50:46NeonPortalPersonally I think it'd make the game better
19:51:02Nothing_Muchomg
19:51:09NeonPortal...what/
19:51:14Nothing_MuchI just launched Zap!
19:51:16Nothing_MuchNo sound lol
19:51:18Nothing_MuchD:
19:51:29fordcars:O

22:05:53Watusimotoyou may know that I'm back in the US -- lots of stuff I need to get done, taking all my time
22:06:07WatusimotoI hope things will settle down soon
22:06:13sam686i haven't been doing much of bitfighter programming in a past 2 weeks
22:07:34WatusimotoI've been doing a little, but haven't checked anything in for a few days
22:07:53Watusimotostill working on that dang level refactor I started in... what? March or April?
22:22:41sam686 has left #bitfighter

22:44:19Watusimoto Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
22:44:56Watusimoto has joined
22:45:31Watusimotohuh
22:45:42Watusimotowhat am I looking at, exactly?
22:45:47fordcarsIt's a live feed from my server
22:45:58fordcarsUsing node.js and a levelgen
22:46:04Watusimotoso you are pumping object position into the browser?
22:46:16fordcarsYeah, through a text file
22:46:24Watusimotointeresting, indeed
22:46:59Watusimotoyou should take a look at vert.x
22:47:02Watusimotoor vertx
22:47:15Watusimotoits similar to node, but supposedly much faster
22:47:37Watusimotoand maybe there is a way to pump events directly rather than going via a text file
22:47:39fordcarsOh sweet I'll check it out
22:47:45fordcarsMaybe
22:47:49WatusimotoI saw a demo this week and was totally impressed
22:48:07fordcarsIt's written in Java?
22:48:13Watusimotovertx?
22:48:13fordcarsOr scripted in java
22:48:17fordcarsYeah
22:48:19Watusimotonot sure what it is written in
22:48:20Watusimotobut
22:48:30Watusimotoyou can write apps in any language that runs on the jvm
22:48:37fordcarsOhh ok
22:48:39fordcarsWrite your application components in Java, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Ruby, Python or Groovy
22:48:49Watusimotojava, javascript, python (sort of), and others
22:48:54Watusimotoyes
22:49:02Watusimotopython support is a bit weak at the moment
22:49:08Watusimotoonly python 2.5
22:49:14fordcarsOh I probably won't use python
22:49:17Watusimoto2.7 should be coming soon
22:49:44Watusimotothe big question is whether you can have an external process pump items directly onto the event bus
22:49:57Watusimotoif so, you could skip the text file, and have almost real-time performance
22:50:17fordcarsYeah, but Bitfighter's api is limited in the stuff it can do with os
22:52:59fordcarsOh yes actually Watusimoto, sometimes the server fails to read the file since it it being written to at the same time (I am guessing)
22:53:13Watusimotook, I can see one way to do it with vertx
22:53:37Watusimotoso the basic concept is that you can pump events from the server to the client using websockets
22:53:58Watusimotovertx handles all the hard stuff, you basically write a listener on the client that responds when new data arrives
22:54:12Watusimotobecause it uses websockets, it's much faster than polling or whatever
22:54:16Watusimotoso
22:54:21fordcarsActually, that is pretty much what node is doing
22:54:26fordcarsI am using websockets
22:54:34Watusimototo get the data from bitfighter into vertx (perhaps node too)
22:54:49Watusimotoyou could hack the server to write events to a socket
22:54:56Watusimotothat vertx is listening on
22:55:00fordcarsYeah, I could haha
22:55:05Watusimoto(there's examples of how to do this in the docs)
22:55:21Watusimotoso vertx gets a message via the socket, then echos it to the client
22:55:25Watusimotoclient updates the screen
22:55:51fordcarsHaha I know when you reload the page, the debugging alert show up here too
22:55:56fordcarsLet me remove that
22:56:05fordcarsOk nevermind
22:56:08fordcarsDOne already
22:56:20Watusimotoanyway, that is very cool
22:57:06fordcarsThanks, I am currently working on scaling on the client, but I'll defenitely check out vert.x
22:57:07Watusimotothe guy giving the demo said that the vertx dev said that vertx is significantly faster than node.js
22:57:25Watusimotoso a biased source, for sure, but perhaps true
22:57:37sam686opening 10 tabs of that page is enough to use up so much bandwidth thats 1800 kbit/s on 10 tabs of that page
22:57:42sam686also laggy
22:58:00Watusimotoha
22:58:08Watusimotoopening 10 bitfighter clients might also get laggy
22:58:41sam686umm, now that pages is skipping like crazy when I close all but 2
22:58:42Watusimotook, I got to go, but I'm going to think about this web client thing a little more. It really is quite cool.
22:59:32Nothing_Muchweb client thing?
22:59:35Watusimotoback later!
22:59:48sam686th4e web thing may be cool but it sort of needs a some kind of reducing bandwidth usage
23:00:25sam686also the map is kindof too small to be playable
23:00:35fordcarsYeah sorry, it updates 100 times per second
23:00:45fordcarsI am working on that right now sam ;)
23:00:52fordcarsIf you want, I can bring that number down
23:01:02sam686looks more like 10 times per second to me...
23:01:10fordcarsOh weird
23:01:20fordcarsRestarted the server now
23:02:44fordcarsI put it at 100 times per second because it was super-smooth (on my side anyway)
23:02:54fordcarsI put it back to 10
23:03:04sam686now it looks like 5 per second now
23:03:42fordcarsWeird
23:04:02fordcarsDo have it running more than once?
23:04:10fordcarsIn multiple tabs?
23:04:12Watusimoto Quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
23:04:20Nothing_Muchfordcars: what's the link again?]
23:04:23Nothing_Muchblargh I can't sleep
23:04:25fordcarshttp://24.202.250.215:3000/
23:04:27fordcars:)
23:04:30Nothing_Muchhopefully coffee tomorrow will help me out
23:04:37sam686web browser can have tabs (chrome/firefox) or multiple windows
23:04:38fordcarsHaha
23:04:49NeonPortalgo to bed Nothing_Much
23:05:18fordcarsI might break it soon btw, so don't be surprised if you reload and see nothing
23:09:43sam686now I start to see it look somethink like this http://sam6.25u.com/upload/page1.png
23:10:23fordcarsHaha possibly
23:10:30fordcarsWeird scaling stuff, working on it
