22:14.47*** join/#bzflag AAA_awright (~aaa@69.72.216.27)
22:19.17blast007JeffM: could use the wiki right in bitbucket
22:19.24JeffMyep
22:19.28JeffMwherever you want
22:19.37JeffMI figure it's best to leave web services up to you :)
22:20.38blast007should I just create some repo for this in my bitbucket?
22:21.00blast007and if so, what should I call it?
22:21.05JeffMhow hard is it to transfer to it's own later if it needs it
22:21.33JeffMBattleStalions
22:21.47blast007you can fork it and it'll include whatever else you want, including the wiki
22:21.56JeffMthen sure
22:22.15blast007I think the wiki is store as a mercurial repo as well

22:22.39JeffMButtStalion
22:22.57JeffMthat's a fine code name
22:23.02JeffMthen we can call it BS
22:23.07blast007hehe
22:23.15JeffMI think this project is BS
22:25.35blast007lol.. a duckduckgo search for Battle Stalions returned this as the first result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horses_in_warfare
22:25.51JeffMheh
22:25.54blast007and an amazon it for "Conan the Adventurer with Thunder Battle Stalion is a toy product from Hasbro."
22:25.58JeffMwe could make it a pony simulator
22:25.58blast007hit*
22:26.07blast007would there be a pony made from diamons?
22:26.14blast007diamonds* ... can't type
22:26.16JeffMhell yeah
22:26.31JeffMevery game needs a sparkle pony, it worked for wow
22:27.46blast007so what should it really be called?  ;)
22:30.03JeffMSteve
22:30.18JeffMSuperTanx
22:30.42JeffMZoneOfBattle
22:32.54blast007do you have a bitbucket account?
22:33.06JeffMI have no idea, let me look
22:33.37blast007neat.  looks like you can even transfer a repo to a different user.
22:34.59JeffMJeffM2501
22:35.36blast007okay, I added you as an admin to the repo
22:35.45blast007went with SuperTanx for now ;)
22:35.50blast007https://bitbucket.org/blast007/supertanx
22:35.53JeffMchicken...
22:36.24blast007:P
22:44.13JeffMdoes it have CIA?
22:50.57blast007dunno if the wiki changes will trigger CIA
22:52.25JeffMI set up cia on the code repo.. maybe
22:52.37JeffMhttp://cia.vc/stats/project/SuperTanx
22:52.41blast007ah, I did as well ;)
22:52.46blast007you might have to fix that
22:53.01blast007was messing with it
22:53.03JeffMfor the wiki repo or the code one? cus I didn't see cia listed
22:53.15JeffMoh look, it's there twice
22:53.30JeffMI'm doing a push now to see if it worked
22:53.32blast007I deleted one cuz I thought I clicked twice or something
22:54.21JeffMheh
22:57.09JeffMit may or may not be uploading
22:57.17JeffMthe interface is a bit odd
23:00.32JeffMcan not wait for ATT to install the fiber

23:14.11CIA-132SuperTanx: 03JeffM@Dev-MyersJeff.gibbs.local * 46099a316cff r0 10ButtStallion/test.txt: Testing a commit
23:14.21JeffMthere we go
23:15.56I_Died_Oncenice
23:16.10I_Died_Oncewould suggest changing your real name from showing
23:16.13I_Died_Oncebut thats just me
23:16.24JeffMpeople know my name
23:16.30I_Died_OnceButtStallion
23:16.36JeffMthat's the project name!
23:16.58I_Died_Oncestayed up all night coming up with that name
23:17.09JeffMgo play boderlands 2
23:17.19JeffMborder even
23:17.30I_Died_Onceis there a linux port?
23:17.34JeffMnope
23:17.36JeffMget a real OS
23:17.50I_Died_Onceummm, same comment, back at you
23:17.58JeffMat least mine can play games ;)
23:18.26I_Died_Onceburn
23:18.32JeffMif steam goes linux it's possible gearbox may make a linux version, if there is a linux version of unreal engine
23:18.42JeffMI think there is
23:19.32I_Died_Oncejust make sure whatever game you all come up with in torque has a linux port
23:19.38JeffMit dosn't
23:19.41JeffMnot yet
23:19.54JeffMyou do know that linux is the minority OS right?
23:20.16I_Died_Oncemaybe, but its a superior OS
23:20.29JeffMfor some things
23:20.34JeffMgaming not so much
23:20.40JeffMfor hosting, sure
23:21.22JeffMI'm sure torque decidated servers on linux will be something that the community gets done first
23:21.37JeffMif they don't exist already
23:22.28I_Died_Oncegoing off of the deep end, it would be awesome if one was able to use current hosts (like our VM for mofo) and existing VPN's to host said torque games
23:22.50JeffMdepend on how much CPU you have
23:23.00JeffMit will take more CPU and ram then bzflag for sure
23:23.09JeffMthings a VPS may not be great about
23:23.20JeffMbut we won't know untill we get some code working
23:23.41I_Died_Oncei was meaning more along the lines of hosting and keeping the same linux software
23:24.03I_Died_Oncebut yeah, gotta write some code of course
23:24.38JeffMit's a completely different system so it's all unknown
23:24.42JeffMwe won't be writing a server
23:24.48JeffMthe server already exists
23:24.57JeffMso it's just a question of what it takes to run
23:25.15I_Died_OnceWell I'm looking forward to it all dammit
23:26.39JeffMwhy? we haven't even done anything
23:26.55JeffMit could be a pipe dream, or it could come out so different from BZ that you hate it
23:27.00I_Died_Oncehas a secret dual boot to windows (not sure what version) he hasn't used in... a year?
23:28.00JeffMhave you ever played a comercial game?
23:28.26I_Died_Onceyes, several
23:28.36JeffMwhat and when?
23:28.58I_Died_OnceI meant the torque stuff looks real slick and nice, can't image you guys NOT putting together something decent
23:29.14I_Died_Oncecommercial games, lemme think....
23:29.26I_Died_Onceall the NES and SNES libraries of games
23:29.34I_Died_OnceDiablo 1 & 2
23:30.03I_Died_Oncesome warhammer
23:30.17JeffMheh
23:30.17I_Died_Oncesome vampire based crap, dont recall the name
23:30.43I_Died_OnceI got a complete MAME romset
23:30.58JeffMso nothing modern
23:30.58I_Died_OnceI play a lot of emulators and related stuff to be honest
23:31.21I_Died_Oncenothing that'll count I'm sure
23:31.41JeffMI think that many bzflag players are in the same boat as you
23:33.10I_Died_Oncemost of the people who stumble across bzflag are looking for most any free, 3d, first person shooter
23:33.41JeffMI would agree with that if you change "stumble across" to "Stay and play"
23:33.55I_Died_Oncekeep those aspects and you just about cant go wrong
23:34.04JeffMthe ones that are used to other games seem to leave
23:34.10JeffMmany aspects will end up changing
23:34.17JeffMterrain == turret movemnt
23:34.30JeffMand turrent movement == mouse aim, keys to move
23:34.35JeffMit will be different
23:34.40I_Died_Oncei played some tank game recently, a month ago or so, had a moveable turret
23:34.46JeffMmost do
23:34.51I_Died_Onceit was a pain to manage that AND drive at the same time
23:35.03JeffMturret turning can make that hard
23:35.32I_Died_Onceso advanced is not always "better"
23:35.50I_Died_OnceIt would be one less thing to deal with  in my opinion
23:36.01I_Died_Oncemake it settable maybe
23:36.20I_Died_Onceor just point it forward and not do all that
23:36.21blast007JeffM: maybe we could call it ZNATS
23:36.28blast007ZNATS Is Not A Tank Simulator
23:38.19JeffMit'll probably be closer then bzflag is ;)
23:39.10JeffMI_Died_Once, I have no problem moving the turrets on the vehicles in borderlands
23:39.25JeffMit's just wads + mouse
23:41.29I_Died_OnceI like to have a hand free to puff on my cigars
23:41.35I_Died_Onceanswer the phone
23:41.50I_Died_Oncemaybe this is why i keep such lousy scores
23:42.29JeffMthen you sir should stick to farmville
