| 12:52.12 | CBG | I am trying to get something to go from A solid Blue to an almost transparent black. |
| 12:52.24 | CBG | but I am reading the man page and its really cinfusing |
| 12:52.38 | CBG | What do clampUp, clampDown and sequence do? |
| 12:53.27 | CBG | And I thought sinusoid worked like periodOfTime, min, max |
| 12:53.46 | CBG | so like bluesinusoid 5 0 1 would mean it goes from 0 to 1 and takes 5 seconds |
| 12:54.09 | CBG | but the man says "green sinusoid 0.1 0 0.25 # period, offset, weight " ?? weight? offset? |
| 12:55.07 | trepan | oops, gotta go |
| 12:55.08 | BearPerson | I'd guess period == how long it takes |
| 12:55.24 | CBG | BearPerson: Yeah. I worked that out... |
| 12:55.27 | BearPerson | offset == added at the start of the time so you can sync it to other effects |
| 12:55.32 | CBG | Ok... |
| 12:55.37 | CBG | Weight ?? |
| 12:55.39 | BearPerson | weight maybe the intensity of the effect |
| 12:55.55 | CBG | hmm. |
| 12:56.19 | CBG | and whats the deal with the clampUp and Down |
| 12:56.25 | CBG | and sequence? |
| 12:56.39 | BearPerson | no idea |
| 12:57.16 | BearPerson | ahh |
| 12:57.26 | CBG | Gah. :( |
| 12:57.44 | BearPerson | I think clampUp is upper limit for the thing, clampDown analogous |
| 12:57.52 | CBG | :S |
| 12:58.09 | CBG | And how does "alpha limits" work? Exactly like red limits ? |
| 12:58.29 | BearPerson | no idea honestly :) |
| 12:58.33 | BearPerson | just wildly guessing |
| 12:59.24 | CBG | *sigh* |
| 13:00.38 | CBG | With the alpha, is 0 or 1 transparent? |
| 13:01.33 | BearPerson | try |
| 13:02.09 | BearPerson | hmm |
| 13:02.22 | CBG | I cant't work it out :( |
| 13:02.34 | BearPerson | clampUp and clampDown makes staticc middle |
| 13:02.38 | CBG | Because Alpha limits don't seem to wotk like others. |
| 13:02.39 | BearPerson | clampUp only static max |
| 13:02.46 | BearPerson | clampDown static min |
| 13:02.58 | CBG | :S |
| 13:03.49 | BearPerson | if and only if no clamps are active, sinusoids are used |
| 13:03.54 | BearPerson | added on top of one another |
| 13:04.16 | BearPerson | so you'll probably want to set max, min, and then just one sinusoid for every channel |
| 13:04.37 | CBG | errr. |
| 13:04.42 | CBG | can you give an example? |
| 13:04.45 | BearPerson | try alpha sinusoid 5 0 1 |
| 13:05.04 | BearPerson | should slowly wave between fully transparent and fully solid |
| 13:05.41 | CBG | nwhat if I have green sinusoid 5 0 1, red limits 0 1, blue limits 0 1, alpha limits 0 1 |
| 13:05.44 | CBG | Won;t that work? |
| 13:05.50 | BearPerson | let me see |
| 13:06.04 | BearPerson | you wanted blue solid <-> black transparent? |
| 13:06.16 | CBG | nyes |
| 13:06.34 | CBG | well.. i want to understand the whole thing... but I was originally trying to get that. :) |
| 13:06.35 | BearPerson | blue sinusoid 5 0 1, aplha sinusoid 5 2.5 1 |
| 13:06.40 | BearPerson | try those |
| 13:06.44 | CBG | You can have multiple sinusoids? |
| 13:06.45 | BearPerson | just the two |
| 13:06.51 | BearPerson | yeah, they'll add |

| 13:08.08 | BearPerson | ? |
| 13:08.32 | BearPerson | hmm... maybe you should specify all limits explicitly |
| 13:08.37 | CBG | you said "aplha sinusoid 5 2.5 1" but the 2.5 will be cut to 1 so it will be "aplha sinusoid 5 1 1" ?? |

| 13:11.11 | BearPerson | that's the whole point of limits |
| 13:12.00 | CBG | I thought a sinusoid was a limit with a period of time in front. :( |

| 16:53.02 | Thumper_ | JeffM2501: nice work on the new 'features' in 2.0.3 :) |
| 16:54.03 | Thumper_ | is there any performance advantage to building maps with all mesh versus the old style box/pyramid building blocks? |
| 16:54.39 | Thumper_ | mesh allows textures and other fancy things but is rendering mesh objects faster/slower than old-style objects? |
| 16:55.09 | Thumper_ | for the same number of points etc |
| 16:55.47 | Thumper_ | hmm it's awfully quiet in here :) |
| 16:56.21 | Tupone | Thumper_, I can't think of any performance advantage |
| 16:56.27 | blast007_work | I belive the meshbox uses more polygons/faces than a regular box |
| 16:56.32 | Thumper_ | but no disadvantage either right? |
| 16:56.47 | Tupone | For older board yes |
| 16:56.59 | blast007_work | the impact should be minimal |
| 17:00.44 | Thumper_ | so for old maps that we don't intend to embellish there is no point in |
| 17:00.51 | Thumper_ | converting them to mesh objects |
| 17:00.51 | JeffM2501 | Thumper_, meshes are slower |
| 17:00.53 | JeffM2501 | by far |
| 17:02.11 | blast007_work | JeffM2501: even when making a 'complex' object with a single mesh vs. tons of little boxes and pyramids? |
| 17:02.33 | JeffM2501 | blast007_work, yeah |
| 17:02.41 | JeffM2501 | it's not "just" polycount |
| 17:02.49 | JeffM2501 | it's how it's all done internal |
| 17:02.53 | JeffM2501 | tho depends on the object |
| 17:02.57 | blast007_work | k |
| 17:03.00 | JeffM2501 | if a majority of the object is hidden |
| 17:03.06 | JeffM2501 | then meshes may be better |
| 17:03.15 | JeffM2501 | transperant faces are the real kilelrs |
| 17:03.21 | blast007_work | yeah |

| 19:50.56 | bunnygirl | JeffM2501: ^_^ |
| 19:51.09 | JeffM2501 | CBG, the weitgh value |
| 19:51.23 | CBG | Whats it actually do? |
| 19:52.31 | jpa- | CBG: weight.. how much it affects the value |
| 19:52.58 | CBG | err. :( I still dont get ot |
| 19:53.00 | CBG | *it |
| 19:53.07 | jpa- | ie. if you have to sinewaves, one with weight 0.5 and other with 0.25, the first one affects twice as much than the second |
| 19:53.12 | jpa- | *two |
| 19:53.14 | blast007_work | CBG: make several of the same objects, each with different values for the 'weight', and learn for yourself ;) |
| 19:53.41 | jpa- | you can think it also as the "height" of the wave |
| 19:53.58 | JeffM2501 | CBG, I thought you were done with school, didn't they teach you math? |
| 19:54.06 | CBG | nwaves? |
| 19:54.21 | jpa- | sinewave |
| 19:55.02 | jpa- | JeffM2501: i wouldn't have known the term "weight", but it was obvious after checking from man page which option it was :) |
| 19:55.11 | CBG | ill brb |
| 19:55.13 | jpa- | CBG: try it around, silly |
| 19:55.27 | blast007_work | best way to learn it |
| 19:55.50 | jpa- | actually no |
| 19:55.56 | jpa- | reading the source is the best |
| 19:56.14 | blast007_work | that's not the best way if you aren't a programmer :P |
| 19:56.20 | JeffM2501 | many functions have weight |
| 19:57.12 | jpa- | JeffM2501: yes yes, but it is not exactly the term we use here |
| 19:57.20 | jpa- | though, CBG is native english i think |
| 19:58.29 | CBG | Ok ok... Ill have a tinker |
| 19:58.48 | CBG | but untill earlier I thought a sinusoid was like limits but with a period... :( |
| 19:59.06 | bryjen | ~dict sinusoid |
| 19:59.15 | CBG | :o |
| 19:59.26 | CBG | passages for blood. heh. |
| 19:59.41 | bryjen | a sine wave |
| 20:00.30 | jpa- | sine wave is __-ŻŻ-__-ŻŻ- :) |
| 20:00.50 | bryjen | the 1913 dictionary shows how the language has changed in nearly 100 years |
| 20:00.59 | CBG | I know what one looks like, same as cosize and tan. we did THAT in maths. |
| 20:01.06 | CBG | *cosine |
| 20:01.48 | bryjen | jpa-'s wave looks a little clipped ;) |
| 20:01.54 | creeperz | heh |
| 20:02.06 | Aribeth_away | a little? |
| 20:02.29 | CBG | OMG some ghost is at aribeths computer while aribeth is away! |
| 20:02.30 | Aribeth_away | got some serious clipping there |
| 20:02.35 | Aribeth_away | :) |
| 20:02.42 | jpa- | bryjen: i have only 1½ bit DAC |
| 20:03.09 | jpa- | that is worse than SB16 :/ |
| 20:05.54 | CBG | so does it matter whether you use red sinusoid or blue sinusoid (for example) ?? |
| 20:08.10 | Legoguy | hey uh... have there been any reports of problems with ALSA where sounds are played at 2x speed (yet have the same pitch)? |
| 20:08.18 | Legoguy | i mean... ALL the sounds |
| 20:09.13 | jpa- | ALL, including with other programs? |
| 20:10.14 | Legoguy | no |
| 20:10.18 | Legoguy | just bzflag |
| 20:10.39 | Legoguy | doom3 had some problems that were fixed by using the OSS emulation of alsa... dont ask me how that worked but it did |
| 20:10.46 | Legoguy | how can I set bzflag up to use OSS? |
| 20:11.58 | jpa- | there is the config menu |
| 20:12.03 | Legoguy | to me it seems like the super low frequency BZFlag sounds aren't being converted to 44.1khz, so they play fast |
| 20:12.12 | jpa- | write "oss", press enter, quit the game, restart the game |
| 20:12.20 | Legoguy | eheh no workie |
| 20:12.25 | Legoguy | tried it. |
