| 01:52.45 | Alec | lol |
| 01:52.48 | Alec | whats this for? |
| 01:52.56 | a_meteorite | #bzflag is about bzflag, not chat |
| 01:53.07 | a_meteorite | like development and questions |
| 01:53.15 | Alec | ok i want to start a server, but i d k how... |
| 01:53.20 | Alec | im lost in all the words |
| 01:53.24 | a_meteorite | tis a good place to start |
| 01:53.30 | Alec | ok good |
| 01:53.46 | a_meteorite | have you read this? |
| 01:53.47 | a_meteorite | http://bzflag.org/wiki/CreatingAServer |
| 01:54.11 | Alec | ive read the planning a server, and i just dont get it |
| 01:54.54 | a_meteorite | you're on windows? |
| 01:54.58 | Alec | yes |
| 01:55.10 | a_meteorite | ok... open ms-dos |
| 01:55.26 | Alec | ummm.... in english please |
| 01:55.33 | Alec | talk to me as if im 2 |
| 01:55.44 | a_meteorite | then you shouldn't be starting a server ;) |
| 01:55.48 | a_meteorite | but ok, go to run... |
| 01:55.52 | a_meteorite | type "cmd", hit ok |
| 01:56.10 | a_meteorite | got a ms-dos window? |
| 01:56.25 | Alec | said it can't find it |
| 01:56.33 | a_meteorite | um |
| 01:56.37 | a_meteorite | windows xp? |
| 01:56.47 | Alec | nvm i got it |
| 01:57.02 | a_meteorite | ok, now type this into the ms-dos window... |
| 01:57.18 | a_meteorite | cd "C:\Program Files\BZFlag2.0.8" |
| 01:57.28 | a_meteorite | hit enter |
| 01:58.01 | a_meteorite | now start a simple server: |
| 01:58.03 | *** join/#bzflag TD-Linux (n=TD-Linux@24-159-197-22.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com) |
| 01:58.11 | a_meteorite | bzfs -j +r -ms 3 -passwd myserver |
| 01:58.17 | a_meteorite | and join in bzflag on localhost:5154 |
| 01:59.17 | a_meteorite | if you're willing to go further.. I suggest you look at some more bzflag server documents :) |
| 01:59.39 | blast007 | "bzfs -help" is your friend |
| 01:59.44 | a_meteorite | that too |
| 02:00.07 | a_meteorite | this article is a nice help too: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9453 |
| 02:00.20 | Alec | ok i typed the first thing in, in this balack boz and hit enter |
| 02:00.24 | Alec | box |
| 02:00.31 | blast007 | black* |
| 02:00.45 | blast007 | then did you join the server? |
| 02:00.55 | Alec | how |
| 02:01.03 | a_meteorite | ... open bzflag and join localhost:5154 |
| 02:01.13 | blast007 | Server: localhost |
| 02:01.16 | blast007 | Port: 5154 |
| 02:01.17 | Alec | i clicked enter then it said c:/windows |
| 02:01.27 | a_meteorite | um |
| 02:01.30 | Alec | so open bzflag up and join that server |
| 02:01.41 | blast007 | okay, let's start off simple |
| 02:01.45 | blast007 | why do you want to run a server? |
| 02:01.55 | Alec | cuz |
| 02:02.00 | Alec | lol i just want to |
| 02:02.02 | blast007 | that's not a reason |
| 02:02.04 | blast007 | that's a word |
| 02:02.11 | blast007 | well, actually, not even a word ;) |
| 02:02.19 | a_meteorite | hehe, only blast007 uses cuz :P |
| 02:02.28 | blast007 | a_meteorite: that's cuz I can! |
| 02:02.31 | Alec | ohh im sorry its trademarked |
| 02:02.32 | a_meteorite | yup |
| 02:02.43 | Alec | ok umm i typed that in, now what |
| 02:02.53 | blast007 | Alec: anyway, running a server is not a trivial task |
| 02:03.00 | blast007 | it will take time to set up |
| 02:03.07 | blast007 | and a lot of reading and experimenting |
| 02:03.08 | a_meteorite | trust me, it's not easy and you WILL get hate mail |
| 02:03.12 | Alec | dude im 16 im not as bright as u |
| 02:03.21 | Alec | ok nvm |
| 02:03.21 | a_meteorite | I'm only 16 :P |
| 02:03.28 | Alec | ohh dang |
| 02:03.31 | Alec | im a jock |
| 02:03.33 | Alec | lol |
| 02:03.49 | Alec | ok well sorry for wasting your time |
| 02:04.04 | Alec | can i just get someone to set it up for me? |
| 02:04.22 | a_meteorite | you could, but that's not as fun |
| 02:04.30 | Alec | idc lol i just want it done |
| 02:04.39 | Alec | i like the idea of running my own server |
| 02:04.58 | a_meteorite | ask someone really nicely with a good reason other than "cuz" and I bet they would |
| 02:05.25 | Alec | hey meteorite...will you please make me a server, i want to do it to stop starvation... |
| 02:05.32 | Alec | good? |
| 02:05.42 | a_meteorite | no :) |
| 02:05.43 | Alec | i will feed then geno flags |
| 02:05.47 | Alec | ok |
| 02:06.06 | a_meteorite | geno is environmentally detrimental |
| 02:06.24 | Alec | i want to make a good server that people can go to, to have fun, and not worry about cheaters and tkers..cuz ill ban em' =) |
| 02:06.26 | a_meteorite | and socially too, it's not nice to kill whole races |
| 02:06.36 | Alec | lol good one met |
| 02:06.50 | Alec | because* |
| 02:07.58 | Alec | i want to make a fun server.....for everyone.....and i will accept suggestions from players about my server |

| 02:24.49 | a_meteorite | you just completed lesson 1 in servers |
| 02:24.50 | Alec | dont i have to change the ip adress or something |

| 02:25.20 | Alec | ntell them the 5154 thing? |
| 02:25.35 | a_meteorite | no |
| 02:25.44 | Alec | well what do i do |
| 02:25.47 | Theme97 | Stop rushing, Alec. |
| 02:25.58 | Theme97 | Starting a server isn't something done with the snap of a finger. |
| 02:25.58 | a_meteorite | authenticate on your server and shut it down |
| 02:25.58 | Alec | im not rushing THEME |
| 02:26.07 | a_meteorite | /password myserver |
| 02:26.09 | a_meteorite | /shutdownserver |
| 02:26.14 | Theme97 | Okay, okay, geez. Don't need to yell at me. |
| 02:26.19 | Alec | lol |
| 02:26.39 | Alec | whewre do i type this met |
| 02:26.43 | a_meteorite | in bzflag |
| 02:27.43 | Alec | ok ive done that |
| 02:27.58 | a_meteorite | now go back to your ms-dos window |
| 02:28.14 | a_meteorite | hit the up key, so you have the same command I showed you, but don't press enter yet |
| 02:28.33 | a_meteorite | are you behind a router? |
| 02:29.33 | A-Delusion | on windows.... this is where everybody gets stuck... opening the firewall |
| 02:29.36 | Alec | no |
| 02:29.40 | Alec | im not |
| 02:29.43 | a_meteorite | ok |
| 02:29.56 | a_meteorite | go to whatismyip.com and take note of your IP address |
| 02:29.57 | *** join/#bzflag Quark (n=43a5b1d9@bz.bzflag.bz) |
| 02:30.15 | a_meteorite | add this to the previous command I gave you in ms-dos: |
| 02:30.30 | a_meteorite | -publicaddr myipaddress -public "Test Server by Alec" |
| 02:30.42 | a_meteorite | replace myipaddress with your IP address from whatismyip.com |
| 02:30.55 | Quark | hey, if you get bumped for texting F*** in a fit of rage, is there anyway to get back in the good graces of the server admin? |
| 02:31.06 | a_meteorite | I *think* windows firewall will ask you to allow bzfs to the internet or something |
| 02:31.12 | a_meteorite | if not you'll have to allow port 5154 |
| 02:31.19 | a_meteorite | Quark: it depends |
| 02:32.20 | a_meteorite | it depends who the server owner is, how forgiving they are, and if they are in a good mode, and if they are drinking a mountain dew or not |
| 02:32.28 | a_meteorite | :) |
| 02:32.39 | Quark | i don't have the server name.. it was playing the 2 tanks map.. but perhaps there are multiple that do that? |
| 02:32.45 | blast007 | A-Delusion: on Windows, the firewall almost always asks you by itself |
| 02:33.02 | Alec | ok do i click eneter |
| 02:33.03 | blast007 | A-Delusion: the "hard" part is the router, which is the same for all Operating Systems |
| 02:33.21 | blast007 | Alec: what kind of internet connection do you have? |
| 02:33.33 | Alec | dsl |
| 02:33.39 | blast007 | what speed? |
| 02:34.02 | Quark | oh cool |
| 02:34.18 | Alec | idk how do i check |
| 02:34.25 | Quark | ya, then i'll apologize profusely and see if the admin will budge, and then buy him (or her) a moutain dew |
| 02:34.25 | a_meteorite | ask your isp |
| 02:34.28 | a_meteorite | do a speed tes |
| 02:34.30 | a_meteorite | *speed test |
| 02:34.33 | Quark | thx! |
| 02:34.43 | blast007 | Alec: upload speed is the main issue |
| 02:34.43 | a_meteorite | np, Quark |
| 02:35.26 | Alec | ok blast how do i check my speed |
| 02:35.57 | Alec | hey met do hit enter after im done typing it |
| 02:36.04 | a_meteorite | yes |
| 02:36.16 | a_meteorite | that tells ms-dos to take your command and do something useful |

| 04:20.46 | a_meteorite | absolutely |
| 04:20.48 | [NP]Tangent | someone was going around yesterday with the callsign Christopher Reeves Wheelchair |
| 04:20.50 | a_meteorite | it's k0ntol |
| 04:20.51 | [NP]Tangent | cheating |

| 05:21.27 | a_meteorite | yes :) |
| 05:24.19 | DTRemenak | hmm, the "lc" even goes in the same place as, say, the 68LC040 ;) |
| 05:26.53 | DTRemenak | aw, it's no fun to insult people when they aren't around :( |
| 05:44.58 | brlcad | hehe |
| 05:45.35 | DTRemenak | eeep! |
| 05:47.17 | brlcad | (limited collector's edition) |
| 05:47.22 | DTRemenak | hehe |
| 05:47.34 | DTRemenak | one of a kind, eh? |
| 05:47.38 | brlcad | bada *tsk* thank you, thank you |
| 05:48.14 | brlcad | at least one in a thousand |
| 06:06.02 | [NP]Tangent | interesting title, btu I don't like it: http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=9721 |
| 06:07.26 | a_meteorite | ... |
| 06:11.12 | DTRemenak | funny thing is he even has malformed bbcode in it |
| 06:13.17 | DTRemenak | hm, the user ceased to exist while I was still banninating him :) |
| 06:13.31 | blast007 | guess I was too quick |
| 06:13.39 | DTRemenak | I got him |
| 06:13.48 | DTRemenak | well, got everything but him I guess |
| 06:13.53 | DTRemenak | you got him :) |
| 06:13.56 | blast007 | heh |
| 06:14.47 | blast007 | I'm gonna add a new field to the registration form |
| 06:14.59 | blast007 | we'll see if that kills the bots |
| 06:15.39 | blast007 | cuz hopefully bots can't answer "Enter the name of this game" |
| 06:16.31 | a_meteorite | lol |
| 06:16.39 | a_meteorite | until noobs enter "bz" |
| 06:16.47 | blast007 | yeah... |
| 06:16.58 | DTRemenak | you could be generous |
| 06:17.09 | a_meteorite | you should lowercase it and allow "bz", "bzf", and "bzflag" |
| 06:17.12 | DTRemenak | accept anything with bz in it |
| 06:17.18 | a_meteorite | lol |
| 06:17.21 | DTRemenak | or something silly |
| 06:17.27 | a_meteorite | I bet that'll get most of em |
| 06:17.34 | DTRemenak | bztank, bzflags, etc ;) |
| 06:17.34 | blast007 | hmm |
| 06:17.41 | blast007 | bzpoker |
| 06:17.43 | a_meteorite | rofl |
| 06:17.45 | DTRemenak | hehe |
| 06:18.01 | [NP]Tangent | "Name Your Favorite Team" |
| 06:18.30 | blast007 | [NP]Tangent: this isn't a "forgot your password" question ;) |
| 06:18.33 | brlcad | yeah, anything with bz would probably be a good idea |
| 06:18.41 | blast007 | k |
| 06:18.48 | blast007 | I'll modify that quick then |
| 06:18.50 | [NP]Tangent | blast007, they might answer a sports team |
| 06:18.58 | blast007 | anything starting with bz, or anything containing bz? |
| 06:19.00 | [NP]Tangent | as opposed to green/red/blue/purple/rogue |
| 06:19.01 | [NP]Tangent | etc |
| 06:19.07 | a_meteorite | starting with bz.. |
| 06:19.13 | blast007 | [NP]Tangent: what if they enter a league team? |
| 06:19.16 | a_meteorite | I can't imagine one going "flagsbz" :) |
| 06:19.28 | [NP]Tangent | fair point |
| 06:19.32 | blast007 | brlcad: your thoughts? |
| 06:19.43 | brlcad | either way probably will work |
| 06:19.45 | blast007 | it's easy either way |
| 06:20.17 | brlcad | heck you could probably give them the answer (write "BZFlag" here) and be good enough |
| 06:20.26 | blast007 | hehe |
| 06:20.32 | [NP]Tangent | eh |
| 06:20.44 | [NP]Tangent | have the "write 'BZFlag' here" in an image |
| 06:20.46 | [NP]Tangent | not in text |
| 06:21.00 | a_meteorite | do one of those gd things on it |
| 06:21.06 | a_meteorite | where it's garbled :) |
| 06:21.10 | blast007 | .. |
| 06:21.20 | brlcad | overkill |
| 06:21.24 | a_meteorite | hehe |
| 06:21.27 | blast007 | or how about I do it in ASCII art! |
| 06:21.32 | a_meteorite | yeah! ;) |
| 06:21.44 | brlcad | just the fact that it's a modified form should stop the bots |
| 06:21.45 | blast007 | I think I'll just do the 'search for bz' thing |
| 06:22.18 | brlcad | they theoretically might think the game is called "battlezone" too |
| 06:22.18 | blast007 | brlcad: they adapted when we removed the website field, but that was more predictable for them |
| 06:22.33 | a_meteorite | unless it's a real person... |
| 06:22.36 | blast007 | this should determine if they are really bots |
| 06:22.37 | blast007 | yeah |
| 06:23.50 | brlcad | there could be a fleet of people in some impoverished country and this is all they do day in and day out, but it's good to test since the alternative of having them play first is a lot more intrusive/burdensome |
| 06:24.12 | brlcad | it's a good idea either way, if the problem does persist after the mode |
| 06:24.27 | brlcad | s/ode/od/ |
| 06:25.31 | brlcad | there were a bunch of other ideas in the (massive) phpbb thread about the spambots, but most of them boiled down to some form of mod like blast007 has been working on |
| 06:25.38 | brlcad | ~blast007++ |
| 06:25.57 | blast007 | okay, that works now, I'll update the real forum now |
| 06:26.38 | blast007 | the new field is the_name_of_the_game ;) |
| 06:26.55 | DTRemenak | yay tachyon fields |
| 06:28.03 | blast007 | SportChick: so I shouldn't encode my text in rot13? |
| 06:28.30 | blast007 | ;) |
| 06:28.36 | SportChick | blast007: even without encoding it in rot13, I haven't a clue what you're talking about :D |
| 06:28.47 | blast007 | rot26 is easier to decode |
| 06:28.56 | SportChick | blast007: so true! |
| 06:31.36 | DTRemenak | tp jt spu 25 :) |
| 06:31.47 | DTRemenak | err 27 |
| 06:33.10 | blast007 | hehe |
| 06:33.16 | blast007 | yes, so is that |
| 06:36.52 | blast007 | okay, that's done |
| 06:37.13 | blast007 | we'll see if any more bots register now |
| 06:37.32 | blast007 | it's set up so that if 'bz' is anywhere in the line, it allows them to reg |
| 06:37.35 | blast007 | case insensitive |
| 06:40.14 | lan56 | hopefully nobody here is a spammer to hear that :) |
| 06:41.19 | blast007 | heh |
| 06:41.34 | blast007 | ...as they update their spambot code ;) |

| 17:35.37 | A-Delusion | hasn't been for months.. AFAIK |
| 17:35.50 | SilverFox | ah, the plugin. |
| 17:36.52 | A-Delusion | almost a year... |
| 17:38.18 | JeffM2501 | and you can't export to blender then to BZ? |
| 17:38.24 | JeffM2501 | or use model tool |
| 17:42.04 | JeffM2501 | then dump as obj from wings and use modeltool |
| 17:43.00 | A-Delusion | I guess the plugin needs updated as wings updates it's API? |
| 17:43.18 | JeffM2501 | don't think so |
| 17:43.34 | JeffM2501 | the plugin is probably gone cus trepan didn't want to host or work on it |
| 17:43.40 | JeffM2501 | he's moved on to TASpring |
| 17:44.00 | A-Delusion | I just wonder why it disappeared. SOmebody has to have a copy |
| 17:45.07 | Erroneous | try pming someone who you know used it successfully |
| 17:51.53 | JeffM2501 | hey blast007 you around? |
| 17:53.45 | JeffM2501 | anyone know anything about "KAIRE" ? |
| 17:53.59 | Erroneous | he speaks italian |
| 17:54.08 | Erroneous | and he posts too much |
| 17:54.08 | JeffM2501 | to say the least |
| 17:54.12 | JeffM2501 | 60 posts |
| 17:54.17 | JeffM2501 | 3 pages in one thread |
| 17:54.24 | Erroneous | yeah, i noticed that |
| 17:54.37 | JeffM2501 | trying to figure out if he's a real noob, or somone trying to be funny |
| 17:54.42 | ts | Still, I see not a single post without italian from him |
| 17:54.47 | Erroneous | probably real noob |
| 17:54.58 | SportChick | only time I've ever seen/heard of him is when he showed up here speaking in all caps, wanting to chat at 2am |
| 17:55.00 | JeffM2501 | then I need tupone to help me translate a message to him |
| 17:55.02 | Erroneous | because of the language issue |
| 17:55.15 | Erroneous | yeah, he keeps euro hours too |
| 17:55.19 | SportChick | yep |
| 17:55.24 | JeffM2501 | well so does cell |
| 17:55.40 | Erroneous | cell doesn't speak italian, that I know :) |
| 17:55.51 | Erroneous | course for all I know they could be bad google translations |
| 17:55.53 | JeffM2501 | that's why I wanted to talk to tupone to see what he thought |
| 17:55.55 | JeffM2501 | yaeh |
| 17:56.14 | JeffM2501 | it's probably an italian 12 year old |
| 17:56.21 | Erroneous | yeah |
| 17:56.34 | Erroneous | heh, they have those too? ;) |
| 17:57.40 | JeffM2501 | I've cleaned his posts for now, I want to know if blast hooked up the can't send PMs to also be can't post, so I can stem him till I can get a message out |
| 17:58.04 | Erroneous | heh |
| 17:58.43 | Birdie | i can make the beginning of the message "ciao, tuttu bene?" :) |
| 17:58.50 | Erroneous | could also set his rank manually |
| 17:59.17 | JeffM2501 | maybe |
| 17:59.18 | Erroneous | 'cause he is pretty obviously posting for rank |
| 17:59.20 | brad | kaire does seem like a real noob, saw him playing bz terribly earlieD[D[D[D[D[Dr :P |
| 17:59.25 | brad | oops |
| 17:59.28 | Erroneous | heh |
| 17:59.31 | JeffM2501 | I'd mostly like to get a message out to him explaining the deal |
| 17:59.35 | Erroneous | yeah |
| 18:02.46 | JeffM2501 | I guess I could have babblefish do it |
| 18:03.00 | JeffM2501 | mostly I wanted tuppy's opinion on him and his age |
| 18:03.06 | Erroneous | yeah |
| 18:04.59 | Erroneous | hard to tell when you can't understand him |
| 18:05.07 | JeffM2501 | tho it seems that babblefish won't translate for me |
| 18:05.25 | Erroneous | you have to spell correctly for babblefish :) |
| 18:05.44 | Erroneous | or does it just not translate to italian? |
| 18:05.47 | tannerld | eheh |

| 23:15.02 | biggeruniverse | proposal? |
| 23:15.17 | biggeruniverse | does anyone read the mailing list? |
| 23:20.49 | tannerld | mailing list? |
| 23:21.44 | CBG | o.O |
| 23:21.49 | JeffM2501 | we have many |
| 23:21.54 | JeffM2501 | what one do you speak of? |
| 23:28.14 | biggeruniverse | dev |
| 23:28.15 | biggeruniverse | CBG! |
| 23:32.03 | JeffM2501 | the list that are spam filled |
| 23:32.53 | JeffM2501 | what message are you specificly looking at? |
| 23:33.23 | JeffM2501 | or just asking where to throwforth a proposal? |
| 23:39.07 | blast007 | JeffM2501: still need me? |
| 23:40.12 | JeffM2501 | yeah, did you make the mod that makes the checkbox in the user database that says "can send PMs" into "can post" ? |
| 23:40.51 | brlcad | biggeruniverse: the mailing list is read.. it's not always responded to, but it's certainly read |
| 23:41.24 | blast007 | JeffM2501: nope |
| 23:41.36 | JeffM2501 | didn't think so |
| 23:41.43 | JeffM2501 | probably cus you didn't know about it :) |
| 23:41.49 | blast007 | nope :) |
| 23:41.53 | JeffM2501 | cus I kinda hacked it together myself |
| 23:42.12 | JeffM2501 | basicly I took the code from the PM send page, and put it on the posting page too |
| 23:42.21 | blast007 | would you prefer a seperate checkbox for that? |
| 23:42.26 | JeffM2501 | nope |
| 23:42.28 | blast007 | k |
| 23:42.37 | JeffM2501 | if they can't be trusted to post, then they can't be trusted to PM |
| 23:42.42 | JeffM2501 | we aint' an e-mail service |
| 23:49.16 | blast007 | any spam registrations today? |
| 23:50.07 | blast007 | seems not, or at least, none with websites set |
| 23:50.24 | JeffM2501 | I didn't see any |
| 23:52.59 | blast007 | I checked the user IDs, and they were all sequential |
