| 01:57.04 | blast007 | jdixon: do you have an account at the BZFlag forum? |
| 01:59.20 | blast007 | weblogin and the game itself uses your BZFlag forum username/password. http://forums.bzflag.org |
| 02:03.23 | jdixon | blast007: no. and the registration page says you can't register now. |
| 02:03.37 | jdixon | http://forums.bzflag.org/ucp.php?mode=register |
| 02:03.41 | blast007 | oh right, I had disabled it do to a spambot attack.. one sec |
| 02:03.42 | jdixon | "Creating a new account is currently not possible." |
| 02:04.06 | blast007 | try not |
| 02:04.08 | blast007 | now* |
| 02:04.19 | jdixon | blast007: just so I'm clear, I have to register a server even if I want it to be "private" for me and friends? |
| 02:04.46 | blast007 | you only need a key if you intend to run a public server or if you intend to use global groups |
| 02:05.06 | blast007 | you can run a local or private server without doing any of that |
| 02:05.41 | jdixon | well it's "public" on a remote server. but I want to limit it to friends. |
| 02:05.59 | jdixon | blast007: reg worked, thanks |
| 02:06.06 | blast007 | are you just going to give them the address? |
| 02:06.19 | blast007 | because if so, you don't necessarily need to do the server key |
| 02:07.24 | jdixon | blast007: hmm. maybe I'm doing something wrong. |
| 02:07.42 | jdixon | I couldn't connect to my server and I saw the warning about publickey, so it seemed mandatory. |
| 02:07.58 | blast007 | the warning only appears if you use the -public* options |
| 02:07.59 | jeffm | so you are making a server but have never played on one that needed registration? |
| 02:08.24 | blast007 | and the key doesn't magically make your server accessible |
| 02:08.38 | blast007 | you should be able to connect to it regardless |
| 02:08.53 | jeffm | it just means we won't block you |
| 02:09.09 | blast007 | the key only lets your server use our public services (public list, global registration, global groups) |

| 12:49.44 | Delusional | sussudio: you have to compile the source , configure with "--enable-debug", and then in the same shell as where you will run bzfs, do 'ulimit -c unlimited' and run bzfs |
| 12:50.25 | Delusional | thats the unix directions, there may be some difference in win32 |
| 12:53.58 | blast007 | sussudio: ignore the directions that Delusional gave. ;) Why do you want a debug version? |
| 12:54.09 | Delusional | heh |
| 12:59.21 | blast007 | sussudio: a debug build wouldn't do you any good unless you already had Visual C++ 2010 installed.. and if you have that, you can just build a debug client yourself. |

| 17:02.33 | blast007 | sussudio: so why do you need a debug client if you don't intend to use something to debug it? |
| 17:03.01 | blast007 | just having a debug build doesn't make it do something special when it crashes |
| 17:03.23 | blast007 | you'd need a debugger to figure out what is going on |
| 17:04.08 | blast007 | thus, needing Visual C++ |
| 17:05.38 | blast007 | sussudio: do your crashes happen only on specific servers? |
| 17:16.49 | sussudio | blast007: not really, but mostly on mofo now. |
| 17:17.14 | sussudio | it just gets stuck on a screen, using 98% cpu |

| 17:28.10 | JeffM_ | what video card? |
| 17:29.53 | Constitution | I believe most crashes on mofo can be attributed to an issue with their server plugins |
| 17:30.40 | JeffM_ | what does it do that causes a crash? |
| 17:31.32 | I_Died_Once | actually, i would suggest running 'ulimit -c unlimited' in the same bash you run your debug client so it produces a core dump so we can figure out where the problem is coming from so we can get it fixed |
| 17:31.47 | I_Died_Once | upon crashing, that is |
| 17:32.01 | JeffM_ | bash does not exist on windows I_Died_Once read all the words that people type |
| 17:32.29 | JeffM_ | and it dosn't do core dumps |
| 17:32.48 | I_Died_Once | yeah i missed where he said windows. Apologies. |
| 17:33.06 | JeffM_ | He'd have to build debug in VC, you can't download windows debug stuff, it needs DLLs that only ship with VC |
| 17:33.30 | Constitution | it crashes on mac too, and you can get the backtrace from the "send report" feature |
| 17:33.48 | I_Died_Once | Well, we are working on the issue, that much is certain |
| 17:34.00 | JeffM_ | what is the issue? |
| 17:34.07 | Constitution | client crash |
| 17:34.12 | I_Died_Once | Constitution, if you can get a mac backtrace/dump/whatever you wanna call it, that would be awesome |
| 17:34.14 | JeffM_ | what is causing it? |
| 17:34.19 | I_Died_Once | yeah something is causing the clients to crash |
| 17:34.21 | JeffM_ | any indication where it crashes? |
| 17:34.30 | Constitution | I_Died_Once: I've sent you at least one already iirc |
| 17:34.34 | JeffM_ | so you arn't really working on it, you are trying to figure out what it is :) |
| 17:34.58 | Constitution | but sure, I'll keep my eye out for another crash |
| 17:35.14 | I_Died_Once | Constitution, when was this? Could you maybe resend? |
| 17:37.03 | I_Died_Once | any and all help on this is appreciated, the whole way 'round |
| 17:38.44 | JeffM_ | how many plugins do you have that send messages directly or call things that arn't in the API? |
| 17:38.50 | Constitution | it was on august 10? pastebin already expired :) will try to remember for the future, though |
| 17:39.52 | I_Died_Once | thx Constitution |
| 17:42.04 | blast007 | forums are back up, and registration re-enabled.. time to see how well this mod works now. :) |
| 17:45.41 | I_Died_Once | JeffM_ good question, if anything, I might suspect the team switching plugin... though we've had crashes before that was loaded |
| 17:47.05 | blast007 | JeffM_: they have quite a collection of plugins utilizing many parts of the API (and at least one that bypasses the API - the team switching plugin he just mentioned) |
| 17:47.14 | blast007 | several custom flags |
| 17:47.16 | JeffM_ | fun |
| 17:47.40 | JeffM_ | they should probalby setup a dupe system for testing and debuging then |
| 17:48.05 | blast007 | they have the shell set up so it should dump a core when bzfs crashes |
| 17:48.19 | blast007 | now they just have to wait for that to happen |
| 17:48.45 | JeffM_ | it's bzfs that crashes not the client? |
| 17:49.11 | blast007 | I think both have been |
| 17:49.19 | blast007 | but it might not consistently be both |
| 17:49.25 | JeffM_ | fun |
| 17:50.35 | I_Died_Once | yeah, server itself has crash a few times, but not as often as the client crashes |
| 17:50.35 | blast007 | waits for the spammers to try to get in *now* |
| 17:51.11 | I_Died_Once | like blast said, I got the server set to produce a dump, and i compiled my own debug local client and its sitting there |
| 17:51.14 | I_Died_Once | waiting for the next crash |
| 17:51.41 | blast007 | I wonder if the client would only crash if you're actually playing |
| 17:52.04 | I_Died_Once | if anyone else is able/willing to do the same thing, i'd like to get as many core dumps as possible |
| 17:52.19 | sussudio | no, it my client crashed a few days ago when i hadn't even spawned yet |
| 17:52.23 | blast007 | well, the core dumps don't do you any good. they'd have to debug it locally. |
| 17:52.36 | blast007 | sussudio: I mean "not in observer" |
| 17:52.42 | sussudio | ok |
| 17:52.47 | blast007 | some code gets bypassed when in observer |
| 17:53.06 | I_Died_Once | and despite what anyone may or may not think, we have zero interest in getting anyone account info or risking anyone's security info or anything LIKE that |
| 17:53.50 | I_Died_Once | My debug client is "playing" - though not spawned. Used the /pass to prevent getting idlekicked |
| 17:53.59 | blast007 | but I store all my credit card numbers in my chat hotkeys!! won't those be in the core dump?? |
| 17:54.04 | blast007 | ;) |
| 17:54.14 | I_Died_Once | frowned upon practice, I know, but its for an actual purpose |
| 17:58.18 | sussudio | btw, the client has been crashing like this on me for years, but it's doing it more often on mojo... |
| 17:58.47 | JeffM_ | sussudio, what video card and version of windows? |
| 17:58.55 | sussudio | JeffM_: several and several |
| 17:59.01 | sussudio | different PCs... |
| 17:59.22 | JeffM_ | is there any software you run consistently on them, like an anti virus? |
| 17:59.27 | sussudio | no |
| 17:59.31 | JeffM_ | wierd |
| 17:59.46 | JeffM_ | are they all spin at ~100% cpu type lockups? |
| 17:59.52 | sussudio | yes |
| 18:00.06 | JeffM_ | that's usualy not a crash but a loop that something gets stuck in |
| 18:00.12 | sussudio | it's been happening ever since you included some SDL into bzflag |
| 18:00.14 | sussudio | i think that's what it was called |
| 18:00.19 | I_Died_Once | has a Phil Collins song stuck in his head |
| 18:00.24 | JeffM_ | windows hasn't ever included SDL |
| 18:00.42 | sussudio | it was some sound/video thing toolkit |
| 18:00.54 | JeffM_ | windows dosn't use a sound or video toolkit |
| 18:00.58 | sussudio | hm. |
| 18:01.03 | JeffM_ | it has used directX since before it was open source |
| 18:01.12 | JeffM_ | that was the first thing I wrote for bzflag |

| 18:02.16 | JeffM | you can build a debug version and run in the debuger if you want, VC is free |
| 18:02.16 | sussudio | well, it happens on an athlon 800mhz with a radeon aiw 7200 running windows 2000 and a p4-2GHz with a nvidia 6200 running xp sp3 and everything i've used inbetween |
| 18:02.39 | JeffM | my guess would be networking before video then |
| 18:02.55 | sussudio | how |
| 18:03.03 | JeffM | it's possible the network thread could spin on malformed packets |
| 18:03.21 | sussudio | yes, that was a bug a long time ago |
| 18:03.32 | JeffM | there are many bugs in the networking code |
| 18:03.53 | sussudio | someone would fire a bullet at a non-existant player and it would cause clients to crash |
| 18:03.57 | JeffM | you can download VC10 EE, the direct X SDK, source from bz svn and build, then run in the debuger |
| 18:04.06 | JeffM | as I said, spinning isn't a crash |
| 18:04.15 | JeffM | a crash causes the client to exit |
| 18:04.19 | JeffM | not lockup |
| 18:04.28 | sussudio | when it get stuck, the only way to kill it is from task manager |
| 18:04.30 | JeffM | do you have to reboot to get out of the lockup? or can you kill the task? |
| 18:04.32 | JeffM | k |
| 18:04.37 | sussudio | and then the gamma gets stuck... |
| 18:04.39 | JeffM | yeah that's not a normal crash, that's bz in a loop |
| 18:05.03 | JeffM | you could run in a debuger and then break and see where it was looping |
| 18:05.28 | sussudio | i'd probably need a faster pc for that |
| 18:05.34 | JeffM | why do you say that? |
| 18:05.50 | sussudio | i ran bzflag debug once and it was really really slow |
| 18:06.04 | JeffM | it will be slower, but it should not be unplayable |
| 18:06.13 | JeffM | probably 15-20% sloer |
| 18:06.20 | JeffM | are you on a marginal system? |
| 18:06.27 | sussudio | 2GHz P4 |
| 18:06.34 | JeffM | should be fine |
| 18:06.42 | JeffM | bzflag isn't exactly a graphics powerhouse ;) |
| 18:06.56 | JeffM | how many fps do you get now? |
| 18:06.58 | sussudio | well, there was 1 server it wouldn't run on |
| 18:07.12 | sussudio | no idea, really |
| 18:07.12 | JeffM | the server does not know if you are debug or not |
| 18:07.18 | JeffM | play and hit T |
| 18:07.23 | sussudio | the server with the underground tunnel maze was too much |
| 18:07.36 | JeffM | what video card do you have? |
| 18:07.42 | sussudio | it was like playing without acceleration |
| 18:07.45 | sussudio | geforce 6200 |
| 18:07.50 | JeffM | wow |
| 18:08.02 | JeffM | still should be ok enough to debug |
| 18:08.10 | JeffM | but seriously is that even PCI-E? |
| 18:08.20 | blast007 | my mom has a 7900 GTO for youtube. ;) |

| 18:08.29 | JeffM | ouch |

| 18:08.51 | JeffM | what version of windows? |
| 18:08.55 | JeffM | 98? |
| 18:08.57 | sussudio | XP SP3 |
| 18:09.12 | sussudio | bzflag doesn't even run on less anymore |
| 18:09.14 | JeffM | then you are going to have problems debuging |
| 18:09.22 | JeffM | VC10 dosn't like XP |
| 18:09.25 | JeffM | it's desuported |
| 18:09.28 | blast007 | sussudio: it probably *can*, but we just don't support/advertise it |
| 18:09.32 | sussudio | meh |
| 18:09.43 | JeffM | yeah we haven't put any non XP calls in it |
| 18:09.44 | sussudio | hm. |
| 18:09.52 | JeffM | but at some point the directX is going to pass you by |
| 18:10.33 | blast007 | plus, BZFlag 3.0 is going to be a metro app and require Windows 8 |
| 18:10.39 | blast007 | cringes |
| 18:10.45 | blast007 | ;) |
| 18:10.45 | JeffM | I thought we were doing steam ;) |
| 18:11.11 | blast007 | metro is where it's at |
| 18:11.17 | JeffM | linux will probalby offer more support for older hardware longer |
| 18:11.28 | JeffM | cus you want to redo bz in javascript? |
| 18:12.15 | blast007 | yeah! |
| 18:12.24 | blast007 | course, we won't have webGL since it's IE |
| 18:12.33 | JeffM | nope, directX |
| 18:12.39 | JeffM | 11.1 |
| 18:13.11 | blast007 | But we'll just forget about the whole "3D" thing, since that's a fad anyway. What people really want is a full screen radar, so we'll just do that. |
| 18:13.30 | JeffM | multi-player atari combat |
| 18:13.38 | JeffM | but arn't there already a bunch of those on iOS? |
| 18:13.55 | JeffM | wonder how popular they are |
| 18:13.56 | blast007 | yeah, but this is on Windows 8! It's totally next gen or something! |
| 18:14.15 | JeffM | well a metro app would work on the phones and tablets |
| 18:14.30 | blast007 | WIndows 8 is the best. Let me throw some numbers at you! 47! 26! 83! |
| 18:14.46 | JeffM | should probably buy a copy or 2 |
| 18:15.03 | blast007 | I'll switch to Linux before I upgrade to 8 |
| 18:15.28 | JeffM | I'll get 2 copies when apple updates the bootcamp drivers |
| 18:15.37 | blast007 | nVidia just doubled the performance of their linux drivers |
| 18:15.40 | JeffM | there are some things in 8 I like |
| 18:16.07 | JeffM | then I'll run 7 in paralels |
| 18:16.09 | blast007 | If I wanted a Ubuntu interface, I'd run Ubuntu. |
| 18:17.39 | blast007 | for me, any improvements they added are negated by the new UI |
| 18:18.25 | sussudio | I_Died_Once: will the SW caerbannog kill anyone else or is it just for show? |
| 18:19.07 | blast007 | sussudio: there's not a way to make a non-lethal SW afaik |
| 18:19.20 | I_Died_Once | one sec, let me pastebin the answer as not to flood the chat with eight lines of text |
| 18:19.21 | sussudio | blast007: well, it's not a real SW |
| 18:19.29 | blast007 | sure it is |
| 18:19.35 | JeffM | there is no such thing as a "fake" sw |
| 18:19.39 | I_Died_Once | oh, its lethal alright |
| 18:19.42 | sussudio | blast007: and you can't kill teammates on mofo |
| 18:19.45 | JeffM | the game can only draw one kind o sphere ;) |
| 18:19.59 | blast007 | sussudio: so? the SW would still kill enemies |
| 18:20.03 | JeffM | the client still does deaths |
| 18:20.08 | I_Died_Once | http://pastebin.com/i2zGjLpE |
| 18:20.14 | I_Died_Once | thats from our help file for said flag |
| 18:20.15 | sussudio | blast007: but they would be your teammates |
| 18:20.37 | blast007 | sussudio: strange. Here I thought there was more than one team on mofo. |
| 18:20.42 | JeffM | enemies != teammates |
| 18:21.11 | I_Died_Once | shudders to think how the game would be played if we enabled team kills |
| 18:21.18 | I_Died_Once | especially on THAT map/server |
| 18:21.21 | sussudio | blast007: yes, but if you CA'ed someone, would their SW kill their teammates or your teammates |
| 18:21.36 | I_Died_Once | no, the SW wold only be lethal to the other team |
| 18:21.38 | JeffM | oh no, turning off team kills will RUIN the game!!!! |
| 18:21.42 | sussudio | ok |
| 18:21.51 | JeffM | recalls hearing that |
| 18:22.00 | I_Died_Once | sprays, prays... |
| 18:22.23 | blast007 | JeffM: I still refuse to use it on my servers ;) |
| 18:22.31 | JeffM | maybe that's why player count is going down |
| 18:22.35 | sussudio | the server gets to be no fun for a lot of the day, when there's just 8 or 9 tanks waiting at the enemy base, spawnkilling with Geno or SW |
| 18:22.42 | JeffM | blast007, at least you have the choice ;) |
| 18:23.10 | I_Died_Once | next on the agenda -noSelfKills |
| 18:23.19 | JeffM | there is no agenda |
| 18:23.21 | I_Died_Once | ducks |
| 18:23.33 | JeffM | the republians took it away |
| 18:25.15 | JeffM | ok, techincaly I am wrong, there is an agenda, I wrote it, just nobody does anything on it ;) |

| 18:41.50 | JeffM | blast007, are the 18 guests spamers trying to get in? |
| 18:42.24 | blast007 | dunno |
| 18:42.37 | blast007 | I added the Anti-Spam ACP mod now |
| 18:44.27 | blast007 | so if there is at least 5 entiries for their email/IP/username in the StopForumSpam database, their account will be flagged (which I'll eventually change to reject registration once I'm sure it's working okay) |
| 18:45.03 | blast007 | and the first 5 posts of a user will be checked via Akismet |
| 18:45.29 | blast007 | (in cases where those are spam, the posts will be held in moderation) |
| 18:46.16 | blast007 | and the only profile field that can be filled in prior to having 5 posts is the signature field, which I may also restrict to 5 later :) |
| 18:48.42 | JeffM | heh |
| 18:48.43 | blast007 | up to 25 guests.. |
| 18:48.54 | blast007 | maybe we're just popular again! |
| 18:48.55 | blast007 | woo! |
| 18:49.27 | blast007 | we had 305 users online on the 4th, but that was some new search engine that uses multiple hosts to spider sites |
| 18:49.40 | blast007 | which is now blocked in our robots.txt |
| 18:57.13 | blast007 | this is some other search spider |

| 23:38.49 | blast007 | allejo: I didn't look closely enough, but it did correctly flag the two spam users that just posted |
| 23:39.08 | blast007 | so I flipped it to reject registion instead of just flagging |
| 23:39.15 | blast007 | registration* |
| 23:49.09 | blast007 | hmm, and when I went to the forum, the icons on the index weren't lit up red like normal, but I bet that's cuz the posts were stuck in moderation due to the users being flaged |
