00:04.04blast007yeah

00:36.07blast007bleh, looks like the update code needs to link directly to a file.. can't handle HTTP redirects
00:37.39BulletCatcherThumper_: That reinforces my opinion that we are triggering at least one gcc bug.
00:37.40BulletCatcherI no longer have a 32-bit system to test with, but when I did I was only able to narrow it down to about 700 lines of code.
00:44.42blast007I also heard that on 8-bit systems..
00:44.48blast007BZFlag fails to run
00:44.50blast007;)
00:46.08blast007I even made sure to load SIMCGA.COM before trying to run it, and I ran memmaker to free up an extra dozen KB of RAM
00:47.11BulletCatcherThe biggest problem with 8-bit systems is keeping them up long enough to simply compile BZFlag.
00:47.14blast007hmm, or maybe it's a 16-bit CPU ;)
00:47.29blast007always confuses the 8086 and the 8085
00:48.54blast007my old Pentium 133MHz took about a week to compile the 1.7g0 bzfs
00:49.09blast007only had 32MB of RAM, so it was hitting swap pretty hard
00:49.35blast007that was also the time when bzfs was pretty much all in a single huge file
00:52.29BulletCatcherYeah.  The compiler needs lots of RAM for big source files.
00:52.31BulletCatcherBy adjusting the RAM in a Xen guest I once figured out that BZflag 2.0.something needed 300-400 MB of RAM to compile.

00:53.26blast007initially I was crashing my compilier cuz I didn't have a big enough swap file
00:53.52blast007this was also a suboptimal install.. it was running off a FAT32 partition via loadlin and UMSDOS ;)

15:20.29blast007don't think so

15:27.59Propane_Tankone last question...whats the no team kill option?
15:28.08mdskpr_-noteamkill
15:28.13mdskpr_disables teamkilling
15:28.20Propane_Tankoh, it's not capitalized?
15:28.30mdskpr_idk..try bzfs -help
15:28.46Propane_Tankwell, because i tried noTeamKill and it didn't work
15:29.20Propane_Tankoh, i looked at my basketball map (that uses it) and it's noTeamKills
15:29.22mdskpr_its: -noTeamKills
15:29.27mdskpr_with 's'
15:29.34Propane_Tankya

17:22.52blast007mdskpr_: did it give an error, or just not work?
17:23.39mdskpr_map.bzw: warning (line 6175): unknown object parameter "tint" - skipping
17:24.14mdskpr_so, error

17:28.01blast007look above that
17:28.06blast007something else is wrong
17:29.42blast007what is 'tint' within?
17:30.03mdskpr_a group
17:30.14mdskpr_i am sure nothing else is wrong
17:33.06*** join/#bzflag bier|tp (~bier@p57A67768.dip.t-dialin.net)
17:33.56blast007does it work with four numbers?
17:34.22mdskpr_yes, and with 3 numbers
17:50.01blast007works fine here
17:50.18blast007no errors/warnings from this:
17:50.20blast007group test
17:50.20blast007<PROTECTED>
17:50.20blast007end
17:50.44blast007can you post the code somewhere?
17:50.53mdskpr_ya 'blue' works...i guess i should have specified, this doesnt work: #00ff00
17:51.14mdskpr_it doesn't work for diffuse either
17:51.57blast007try without #
17:52.03blast007since # is a comment in BZW ;)
17:52.39blast007(with your code, the parser is seeing 'tint' without anything after it)
17:53.33mdskpr_nope
17:53.39blast007it works here
17:53.42blast007:P
17:54.06blast007then again, so does the # .. hmm
17:54.17blast007maybe I need more crap in my BZW
17:55.47blast007nvm, mine isn't working either - was looking at the wrong spot in the output ;)
17:56.20mdskpr_ok, try the same with a diffuse, i believe that is broken too
17:57.32blast007yeah, they use the same function
17:58.30blast007seems that the #RRGGBB format isn't implemented
17:58.55blast007it has a FIXME there and it just returns false ;)
17:59.27blast0072.99.x supports it though
17:59.46mdskpr_ah ok, welll it must have been implemented at some point because the wiki says it does
17:59.55blast0072.99.x
