| 11:42:33 | iLLf8d | captain |
| 11:42:35 | iLLf8d | you there? |
| 11:42:45 | iLLf8d | I'd like to report a bug so to speak |
| 11:42:58 | iLLf8d | must be a code issue may account for some of the wierd play |
| 11:43:15 | iLLf8d | I just used bzedit to make a field 2 levels |
| 11:43:47 | iLLf8d | I made a roof 400x400 |
| 11:44:07 | iLLf8d | seems whenever I shoot close to the roof (right on it when I jump to the highest point) |
| 11:44:28 | iLLf8d | or when I teleport above drop down and fire will running around on top of it |
| 11:44:34 | iLLf8d | everything slows to a crawl |
| 11:46:52 | iLLf8d | when jumping from underneath I have to be at the apogee shooting for the slow down and only when on top of the roof shooting do I have the same issue, as soon as I jump up from the roof everything turns back to normal speed |
| 11:46:58 | iLLf8d | I haven't looked at the code |
| 11:47:35 | iLLf8d | I suspect that the mechanism that renders the glare (or brightness shadows, I know can't use it that way) |
| 11:47:58 | iLLf8d | the flare from bullet fire over/close to that surface slows everything down |
| 11:58:12 | iLLf8d | it may just be a texture issue |
| 12:01:54 | iLLf8d | my framerates also go from the 85-100+ range |
| 12:02:00 | iLLf8d | down to 20fps when its setup that way |
| 12:02:38 | iLLf8d | chestal if you work on the code too please submit this bug report to the appropriate channels, it would be greatly appreciated |
| 12:31:47 | iLLf8d | nhmm don't think it has to do with the texture |
| 12:31:55 | iLLf8d | I made roof.rgb black and still nogo |
| 12:32:01 | iLLf8d | nhmm |
| 13:48:59 | captain_proton | hi vogon_jeltz |
| 13:49:12 | vogon_jeltz | hi |
| 13:49:41 | captain_proton | like the topic from last night? ;) |
| 13:49:54 | vogon_jeltz | yeh |
| 13:50:09 | captain_proton | has 5 of the things attached to his parallel port |
| 13:50:20 | vogon_jeltz | hahahah |
| 13:50:41 | captain_proton | we cleaned out the video game store :) |
| 13:51:20 | captain_proton | ok - have class - ttyl |
| 16:31:32 | Chestal | hi mb |
| 16:56:12 | captain_proton | wakes up |
| 16:56:33 | vogon_jeltz | hi, cappy |
| 16:56:46 | captain_proton | hello vogon_jeltz |
| 16:56:57 | captain_proton | is starting to write code for this uber-hack |
| 16:58:34 | vogon_jeltz | what uber-hack? |
| 16:59:11 | captain_proton | 5 rechargable wireless SNES controllers (same form factor, everything is gonna be inside) hooked up to a computer playing a home-brewed version of the mario 3 battle mode |
| 16:59:20 | captain_proton | are we not GODS? |
| 16:59:49 | vogon_jeltz | heheh |
| 17:00:33 | captain_proton | actually not quite the same form factor - in place of the cord, there will be a 2-3" rubber ducky (like on cordless phones), and on the front there will be a little LED to show that its charging |
| 17:01:55 | captain_proton | our goal is to get slashdotted |
| 17:02:02 | vogon_jeltz | l33t... I'm actually getting somewhere on this map |
| 17:02:14 | captain_proton | well, that and 5-player mario battle |
| 17:04:32 | vogon_jeltz | hmmmmm... |
| 20:55:57 | captain_proton | anybody alive? |
| 21:06:17 | BZFlag | nope |
| 21:09:07 | captain_proton | awwww |
| 21:09:29 | captain_proton | hey BZFlag: you wouldn't happen to have schematics for the smallest possible AM crystal recievers/transmitters, would you? |
| 21:13:26 | BZFlag | http://www.electronics-tutorials.com/receivers/crystal-set-fig1.gif |
| 21:14:37 | captain_proton | well there's a reciever... |
| 21:18:15 | BZFlag | http://antiqueradio.org/schemat.htm |
| 21:19:08 | captain_proton | ack - no way that would fit in the space we have |
| 21:24:26 | captain_proton | hi Valoche |
| 21:24:32 | Valoche | hi captain |
| 21:24:43 | captain_proton | like the topic? |
| 21:24:49 | Valoche | it's scary ;-) |
| 21:25:42 | captain_proton | if this hack my friends and I are doing succeeds to our goal, bzflag will get a good number of hits off it |
| 21:26:21 | Valoche | uh? |
| 21:26:41 | captain_proton | we're making the controllers wireless |
| 21:26:54 | captain_proton | 5 -> 1 parallel port |
| 21:26:55 | Valoche | well, my mouse is... ;) |
| 21:27:09 | captain_proton | and we'll have a pic on the web site with us using it for bz |
| 21:27:13 | captain_proton | then we submit to /. |
| 21:27:50 | BZFlag | http://pirateradio.about.com/cs/transmitterplans/ |
| 21:28:39 | captain_proton | ooh thanks BZFlag |
| 21:28:46 | BZFlag | sure |
| 21:29:44 | captain_proton | that will easily fit :) |
| 22:21:26 | iLLf8d | lo all |
| 22:25:34 | captain_proton | hi iLLf8d |
| 22:25:56 | iLLf8d | how goes it |
| 22:26:07 | iLLf8d | you guys catch the babble i left in channel lastnight? |
| 22:26:34 | iLLf8d | I'm trying to send an email from the site it sites bzflag@bigfoot.com |
| 22:27:58 | BZFlag | what sites that? |
| 22:28:10 | BZFlag | er cites... |
| 22:28:32 | captain_proton | no |
| 22:28:33 | BZFlag | that's old. Tim@Rikers.org (or Guru@BZFlag.org even) is the new one. |
| 22:29:48 | BZFlag | the bigfoot.com address was for Chris. His personal is crs32@bigfoot.com now. |
| 22:31:35 | BZFlag | removes that entry from the README... |
| 22:41:20 | iLLf8d | suck |
| 22:41:24 | iLLf8d | I just sent it out |
| 22:41:25 | iLLf8d | damnit |
| 22:41:25 | iLLf8d | heh |
| 22:42:24 | iLLf8d | can I DCC one of you guys a bug report |
| 22:43:10 | iLLf8d | hopefully you can read it and respond too =) just to give me a little direction to search in |
| 22:48:07 | BZFlag | iLLf8d: bug reports go to SF. ;-) |
| 22:48:29 | BZFlag | then comments happen on -devel mailing list or as replies to the bug report on SF. |
| 22:48:36 | iLLf8d | well I was hoping someone could take a peek so as to point me to a file to peruse myself |
| 22:48:45 | iLLf8d | not that i'll be able to find the bug, however i'd like to try |
| 22:49:14 | iLLf8d | it may be something that needs a rewrite |
| 22:50:55 | captain_proton | as BZFlag pointed out - post it on SF - you'll get a response if you ask |
| 22:51:05 | iLLf8d | ok |
| 22:51:40 | iLLf8d | I went to bzflag.sourceforge.net developers link and theres that stupid email again heh |
| 22:52:56 | iLLf8d | I just found it |
| 22:53:08 | iLLf8d | you guys should definatley place a link to that on the site |
| 23:13:53 | iLLf8d | ok I got it in |
| 23:13:57 | iLLf8d | what a pain in the ass |
| 23:14:19 | iLLf8d | there should an easier bug submission method |
| 23:14:52 | iLLf8d | would be nice if the bug report form tells you you need to login at the top of the form before I typed all that info and lost it too |
| 23:14:58 | iLLf8d | sourceforge is annoying |
| 23:15:34 | iLLf8d | suck |
| 23:16:11 | iLLf8d | ONE thing if anyone sees the bug report I should've noted at the top it's in reference to BZFLAG not bzedit |
| 23:16:44 | BZFlag | web apge updated too. |
| 23:16:46 | iLLf8d | its obvious when reading it but I have the word bzedit in the first line (bad choice on my part) |
| 23:16:47 | BZFlag | we page |
| 23:16:58 | iLLf8d | very cool |
| 23:17:27 | iLLf8d | I probably should've mentioned I run full graphics also |
| 23:17:29 | iLLf8d | hmm |
| 23:19:55 | BZFlag | adding a bzedit category... |
| 23:22:04 | iLLf8d | its not a bzedit issue (at least my bug report isn't) |
| 23:22:05 | iLLf8d | heh |
| 23:22:12 | iLLf8d | although yeah categories are good =) |
| 23:26:27 | BZFlag | this is a problem with the rendering code. it's not discarding objects like it could. |
| 23:26:34 | BZFlag | I have not looked into it lately. |
| 23:36:32 | iLLf8d | hmm |
| 23:36:33 | iLLf8d | suck |
| 23:36:43 | iLLf8d | anyone have any idea where I look into this? |
| 23:36:53 | iLLf8d | ie which file handles object discarding |
