| 04:33.25 | SilverFox | I just thought of something... |
| 04:33.41 | a_meteorite | yay, ideas! |
| 04:33.46 | SilverFox | I've heard discussion about how to keep a tank from spawning into bullets... |
| 04:34.09 | SilverFox | things like algorithms, and invulnrability for x seconds after spawn, etc... |
| 04:35.04 | SilverFox | How about this instead: After dying, a blinking marker on the radar gives you an approximate location of where you will spawn. Then the player will spawn when s/he decides it is safe/best? |
| 04:35.15 | SilverFox | simple, no? |
| 04:35.40 | a_meteorite | well, doesn't bzfs change the spawn location as time goes by? |
| 04:35.51 | JeffM2501 | it picks a new one for every person |
| 04:35.58 | JeffM2501 | after you say you want to spawn |
| 04:35.58 | DTRemenak | SilverFox: there's a reason we blank the radar and screen when you pause...same applies here |
| 04:36.06 | *** part/#bzflag compiler_success (n=user@60.53.24.41) |
| 04:36.57 | DTRemenak | nice idea nonetheless ;) |
| 04:37.25 | DTRemenak | demonstrates out-of-box thinking :) |
| 04:39.32 | JeffM2501 | just use the airspawn plugin, airspawn;100 |
| 04:39.35 | JeffM2501 | you'll be fine :) |
| 04:39.41 | a_meteorite | hehe |
| 04:40.09 | a_meteorite | JeffM2501: then doesn't that make players line up to shoot you? :P |
| 04:40.16 | AAA_awright | BZFS is smart... |
| 04:40.29 | JeffM2501 | they don't know when you'll fall :) |
| 04:40.35 | a_meteorite | heh |
| 04:40.43 | AAA_awright | it won't position you in front of a bullet, and it won't put you in front of a L tank, or near a SW tank |
| 04:40.52 | JeffM2501 | DTRemenak, I was wrong, it's a 5200, not a 6200, the 6200's in Will's machine, still want it? |
| 04:40.53 | Theme97 | or near a tank with SR. |
| 04:40.55 | AAA_awright | I can show you the source... |
| 04:41.16 | DTRemenak | a 5200? no thanks...they're actually slower at most things than 4200s are :( |
| 04:41.17 | a_meteorite | Except it still doesn't know not to spawn you next to a BU. :( |
| 04:41.18 | JeffM2501 | AAA_awright, it dosn't have totaly acurate shot postions, so it can be wrong |
| 04:41.23 | JeffM2501 | DTRemenak, yeah |
| 04:41.29 | JeffM2501 | sorry bout that |
| 04:41.36 | DTRemenak | no problem, thanks for looking |
| 04:41.52 | DTRemenak | one of these days I'm gonna buy a real computer anyway :) |
| 04:42.15 | AAA_awright | I have never had a problem with it. Have you always wondered why, sometimes on bzfx, the entire team re-sprawns on the 3rd floor? that is why |
| 04:42.42 | a_meteorite | AAA_awright: I really couldn't figure that out. |
| 04:42.52 | Theme97 | No, not on "BZFX", on Boxy War. a_meteorite is touchy on that. |
| 04:42.57 | a_meteorite | I think it's bzfs' interaction with spawn zones and everyone spawning at once |
| 04:43.18 | AAA_awright | :6026=boxywar, if I had bothered to put the port number :p |
| 04:43.23 | a_meteorite | Theme97: thanks for clarifying |
| 04:43.45 | a_meteorite | AAA_awright: you wouldn't believe how many think bzfx IS boxy war ;) |
| 04:43.56 | a_meteorite | really, it's just one of BZFX's main servers. |
| 04:44.02 | AAA_awright | bzfx is the network. |
| 04:44.05 | a_meteorite | yeah. |
| 04:44.15 | a_meteorite | except I don't got everything a network should have. |
| 04:44.27 | a_meteorite | which I will... once I find some extra time |
| 04:44.48 | AAA_awright | not a computer network, more kike a TV network? |
| 04:44.55 | a_meteorite | yeah |
| 04:45.03 | a_meteorite | a lot of different shows ran by the same company ;) |
| 04:51.35 | AAA_awright | I talked about bzflag inspirational posters once, anyone care to see the result? |

| 04:58.36 | AAA_awright | Thanks |
| 04:59.25 | AAA_awright | If you want to know, the L and SW were added. I messed the L shot that actually did kill all those blues, so... |
| 04:59.37 | a_meteorite | aw |
| 04:59.55 | a_meteorite | I bet if you observed long enough, you would find an event very similar to that... |

| 20:08.51 | Guest514 | some skilled bz-admin here |
| 20:11.18 | L4m3r | What are you trying to do? |
| 20:11.19 | blast007 | whatcha need? |
| 20:11.51 | PuMpErNiCkLe | 'sup? |
| 20:12.20 | Guest514 | ah little |
| 20:13.04 | Guest514 | my bzflag-server quits when last player exits |
| 20:13.08 | *** join/#bzflag thraxx (n=volker@p54AC1B1A.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) |
| 20:14.26 | blast007 | take off -g |
| 20:14.45 | blast007 | (from your config, or the command line, depending on where you specified it) |
| 20:15.06 | Guest514 | what do you mean |
| 20:15.25 | L4m3r | Are you using the "start server" option in your client? |
| 20:15.34 | Guest514 | no, linux version |
| 20:15.43 | Guest514 | bzfs |
| 20:16.14 | blast007 | you specified -g when you set up your configuration |
| 20:16.22 | blast007 | who set up the server for you? |
| 20:16.26 | Guest514 | me ^^ |
| 20:16.45 | blast007 | okay, so find where you put -g, and get rid of that |
| 20:16.51 | Guest514 | oh you are right |
| 20:17.05 | Guest514 | didnt see this option |
| 20:17.10 | blast007 | :) |
| 20:17.31 | Guest514 | thx |
| 20:18.10 | Guest514 | then another question... |
| 20:18.24 | blast007 | k |
| 20:18.38 | Guest514 | the admin can give players flags which are on the map? |
| 20:18.57 | blast007 | yes |
| 20:19.05 | Guest514 | only these types? |
| 20:19.36 | Guest514 | sometimes i get an flag type error |
| 20:19.37 | blast007 | yeah, they can't give the player a flag that doesn't exist on the map |
| 20:19.42 | Guest514 | ah ok |
| 20:19.54 | Guest514 | and with command force? |
| 20:20.01 | blast007 | and it has to be one that is available I think, though it may be able to steal it from another player if you do 'force' |
| 20:20.16 | blast007 | I'm an unsure of what 'force' actually does |
| 20:20.21 | Guest514 | me too ^^ |
| 20:20.36 | Guest514 | its funny to get the base flag ;-) |
| 20:21.02 | Theme97 | "force" will take a player's flag and give it. |
| 20:21.14 | Theme97 | Without "force", if all flags are taken, it won't be given. |
| 20:21.28 | Theme97 | Err, if all flags OF THAT TYPE are taken. |
| 20:21.40 | Guest514 | hm... |
| 20:22.27 | Guest514 | how do you write to one player in windows version |
| 20:22.42 | Guest514 | i cant select |
| 20:24.16 | Theme97 | Press N or . and use the left & right arrow keys to cycle through all the players. |
| 20:24.47 | Guest514 | using arrow keys doenst work |
| 20:25.07 | Guest514 | i will test it again |
| 20:26.13 | Guest514 | dont work |
| 20:26.40 | Erroneous | you're probably set to drive with the keyboard |
| 20:26.50 | tannerld | <PROTECTED> |
| 20:26.57 | Guest514 | yes keyb |
| 20:27.20 | tannerld | "/msg name message here" |
| 20:27.34 | Erroneous | if you are driving with the keyboard you cannot use arrow keys to send |
| 20:28.10 | blast007 | if you turn off "Jump while driving" then you can use tab completion to type some's name out |
| 20:28.47 | blast007 | then if you wanted to message "someone", you could do /msg som<tab> and it could complete it to /msg someone |
| 20:29.08 | Guest514 | i know this command, but i like to use selection |
| 20:29.31 | blast007 | use the mouse then |
| 20:29.42 | blast007 | the linux version performs the same |
| 20:30.44 | Guest514 | i use linux for server only |
| 20:31.28 | blast007 | k |

| 20:33.42 | Guest514 | how to setup good logging for bzfs |
| 20:33.42 | blast007 | there is no real differences between the "windows version" and the "linux version" of the game |
| 20:34.00 | blast007 | you're just using different bzflag applications on linux than you do on Windows |
| 20:34.05 | Guest514 | ok |
| 20:34.12 | blast007 | -ddd will probably be what you want for logging |
| 20:34.20 | blast007 | 4 debug levels can be quite noisy |
| 20:34.24 | Guest514 | ok |
| 20:35.20 | Guest514 | is there a variable ingame vor setting up the count of shots |
| 20:35.22 | *** join/#bzflag RatOmeter (n=chatzill@139.78.95.188) |
| 20:35.35 | Guest514 | or is this static |
| 20:35.35 | blast007 | nope |
| 20:35.38 | Guest514 | ok |
| 20:35.49 | blast007 | can only be set when the server starts |
| 20:35.52 | Guest514 | ok |
| 20:36.35 | Guest514 | all probs solved ^^ |

| 20:37.04 | blast007 | aww |
| 20:37.09 | Erroneous | if those were all your problems, you must not have a gf :) |
| 20:37.18 | Erroneous | aw, he missed the punchline |
| 20:39.19 | SportChick | bad Erroneous! |
| 20:39.28 | Erroneous | <PROTECTED> |
| 20:39.31 | Erroneous | oops |
| 20:41.10 | L4m3r | your punch line |
| 20:41.20 | Erroneous | ah :) |
| 20:41.24 | Erroneous | true though, is it not? |
| 20:41.29 | L4m3r | yes. |
| 20:42.08 | L4m3r | For instance, in getting to know a certain female, I am about to encounter a huge problem when my parents get the next cell phone bill. |
| 20:42.16 | Erroneous | eep |
| 20:42.28 | L4m3r | she only communicates via text messaging >_< |
| 20:42.35 | Erroneous | heh |
| 20:42.45 | Erroneous | there's only so much you can communicate that way :) |
| 20:43.15 | Erroneous | I mean, as much as I love sending hugs over IRC, it's nothing like RL :) |
| 20:43.49 | L4m3r | heh |
| 20:43.53 | L4m3r | I loathe texting |
| 20:44.24 | L4m3r | I think the Boondocks cartoon put it best: "Why spend 5 minutes typing out something you could have said in 5 seconds?" |
| 20:52.12 | JeffM2501 | because text has "undo" |
| 20:52.26 | Erroneous | so does speech |
| 20:52.37 | Erroneous | it's called "think before you blab your mouth" |
| 20:52.39 | JeffM2501 | "look it's elvis!" |
| 20:53.10 | JeffM2501 | it's much easyer to review text before you send, then perform the act of speaking:) |
| 20:53.49 | Erroneous | think about what you're going to say, before you hit "send" in your brain :) |
| 20:54.18 | Theme97 | Well, if you're spending 5 minutes typing it out, you really should take typing lessons. |
| 20:54.34 | Erroneous | Theme97: on a cell phone? |
| 20:54.39 | L4m3r | Theme97: have you ever typed on a damn cell phone? |
| 20:55.21 | L4m3r | it's like trying to cut your steak with a spoon |
| 20:56.50 | Erroneous | they are |
| 20:57.10 | L4m3r | then I'm okay, right? |
| 20:57.32 | Erroneous | I didn't kick you, did I? |
| 20:57.36 | L4m3r | :P |
| 20:57.47 | Erroneous | doesn't mean I like it |
| 20:58.20 | Erroneous | and if you're polite, you won't use it even though it's not against the rules, just because there are some who would rather you did not :) |
| 20:59.00 | JeffM2501 | you can sing it, but you have to replace every bad word with "I'm a prety prety princess" |
| 20:59.02 | L4m3r | lol jeff |
| 21:00.03 | L4m3r | Erroneous: Moderation. I am "polite" most of the time, but I am prone to being impolite on occasion |
| 21:00.28 | Erroneous | L4m3r: sure :) I'm prone to tsk tsk at you when you are impolite though :) |
| 21:00.35 | L4m3r | I don't use coloful language in this channel very often. :) I save it for the mofo channel. |
| 21:02.47 | JeffM2501 | double dumbass on you! |
| 21:02.53 | Erroneous | hehehe |
| 21:03.23 | JeffM2501 | of course they are |
| 21:06.20 | Erroneous | L4m3r: you'll find that I'm personally not really bothered by most any non-hostile vulgarity. I did go to public schools after all :) but out of respect for others... |
| 21:13.26 | JeffM2501 | "star treck.. the manga" |
| 21:13.41 | Erroneous | eeew |
| 21:13.46 | JeffM2501 | it exists |
| 21:13.52 | Erroneous | seriously? |
| 21:13.59 | JeffM2501 | indeed |
| 21:14.00 | Erroneous | that is rather...sick |
| 21:14.04 | JeffM2501 | Jer has it right now |

| 21:14.09 | JeffM2501 | I purchesed it as a joke |
| 21:14.14 | Erroneous | some things I don't need to know ;) |
| 21:14.31 | JeffM2501 | http://store.startrek.com/product/show/231 |
| 21:14.39 | JeffM2501 | I'll have him bring it in |
| 21:14.43 | JeffM2501 | and we can put it on your desk |
| 21:14.56 | JeffM2501 | then you can say "nooo... it burnssss ussss." |
| 21:15.24 | Erroneous | heh |
| 21:15.48 | Erroneous | wow |
