18:27 <epsy> output?
18:28 <Ratchet--> ./configure
18:28 <Ratchet--> (work work work)
18:28 <Ratchet--> make
18:28 <epsy> (pastebinpastebin)
18:29 <Ratchet--> http://armagetronad.pastebin.com/m145283cc
18:29 <epsy> don't you see anything at line 45?
18:30 <Ratchet--> -.-
18:30 <Ratchet--> i cant read that terminat crap
18:30 <Ratchet--> the colors
18:30 <Ratchet--> blind me
18:30 <epsy> did you do sudo aptitude install build-essential ?
18:31 <epsy> Ratchet--, ther are no colors in configure's output
18:31 <Ratchet--> negative, i did exactly what you all said
18:31 <Ratchet--> nothing else
18:31 <epsy> for the rest, you can see in your terminal's config
18:31 <epsy> do it, then
18:32 <Ratchet--> done
18:32 <epsy> ./configure again
18:32 <Ratchet--> k
18:33 <Ratchet--> checking for xmlParseMemory in -lxml2... ./configure: line 11981: xml2-config: command not found
18:33 <Ratchet--> no
18:33 <Ratchet--> configure: error: You need the library xml2 to compile Armagetron. Read the file doc/install_linux.html.
18:33 <epsy> now the fun can begin
18:33 <Ratchet--> *hooray?*
18:33 <epsy> for each missing dependency, you should check in your package manager for the package that probably contains the missing dependency
18:34 <epsy> then install that package, AND it's -dev companion
18:34 <Ratchet--> i think i got half of that
18:34 <Ratchet--> you are forgetting: i come from windows which is quite easy
18:35 <epsy> the -dev package contains things like the xml2-config script, and .h files, which are being included from the game's source
18:35 <Ratchet--> and then im coming to this and you all expect me to know half of what you are saying
18:35 <Ratchet--> ok
18:35 <epsy> you know what a package manager is?
18:35 <Ratchet--> yep
18:36 <epsy> here, we can see the missing dependency is [lib]xml2, get it?
18:36 <epsy> so now, fire up the package manager
18:36 <epsy> and search for a package named xml2
18:36 <Ratchet--> man im god
18:36 <epsy> i think it's libxml2
18:36 <Ratchet--> sudo apt-get install xml2
18:36 <Ratchet--> foindit
18:36 <Ratchet--> :0
18:37 <Ratchet--> nowwhat
18:37 <epsy> now you must also install the -dev package
18:37 <Ratchet--> p
18:37 <Ratchet--> =o
18:37 <Ratchet--> the name is
18:37 <Ratchet--> -dev?
18:37 <epsy> no
18:37 <epsy> <blah>-dev
18:37 <Ratchet--> kk
18:37 <epsy> then repeat for each missing dependency
18:38 <epsy> once ./configure stops complaining, you can go on to 'make'

18:49 <_Ratchet> my driver shows up, but dont connect
18:49 <epsy> _Ratchet, you may get more help about this topic in #ubuntu
18:50 <luke-jr> epsy: "New setting structure" is more or less what I proposed a few years ago
18:50 <Monkey_arma> _Ratchet So you using Ubuntu eh, good. Btw, why do you have _Ratchet and Ratchet-- in here at same time, do you have some problem with your client?
18:50 <epsy> luke-jr, can i see?
18:51 <luke-jr> epsy: if I can find it
18:51 <luke-jr> epsy: I thought it had a wiki page, but it might have all been forums
18:51 <_Ratchet> at times yes
18:51 <Monkey_arma> oh and #linux and #ubuntu are good places to ask any questions. Try #ubuntu first and then #linux

18:53 <zmanuel> luke-jr: IIRC, we didn't like it
18:53 <zmanuel> or rather, what you wrote was sufficiently unspecific.
18:53 <_Ratchet> i'm on xchat
18:54 <epsy> that's not exactly what i spec'ed, I clearly stated that nothing ephemere should enter it[except ddl moderators, of course!], so that we could choose to save the config file, even on dedicated
18:55 <luke-jr> ephemere?
18:55 <Monkey_arma> _Ratchet goto  Xchat --> help --> about    and tell me what version

18:55 <epsy> luke-jr, like "at slot 1 there's this guy" "this guy got invulnerability"
18:56 <epsy> ie. most stuff that depends on players are out
18:56 <Monkey_arma> _Ratchet Ok if I PM you?
18:56 <luke-jr> epsy: those would be in a differnet part of the tree ☺
18:56 <Monkey_arma> saves spamming here
18:56 <_Ratchet> sure is
18:56 <luke-jr> epsy: eg, 'config.' root vs 'state.' or such
18:56 <epsy> i was thinking of 'contexts'
18:57 <luke-jr> …
18:57 <epsy> idk, if we start adding stuff that needs a hardcoded switch, we're on the wrong direction imo
18:58 <luke-jr> DCT was specifically not hardcoded ☺

19:00 <epsy> either it is a config tree, either it is a state abstraction tree, not both
19:00 <epsy> you should not have a state abstraction tree be saved into a config file not next start
19:01 <luke-jr> epsy: config and state are the same
19:01 <epsy> no, they are not
19:02 <luke-jr> to some extent
19:02 <epsy> they can reside in a tree, that's about it
19:02 <luke-jr> by "config" you mean the defaults
19:03 <luke-jr> the default state
19:03 <luke-jr> at the beginning of a round/match
19:03 <epsy> we had config and commands mixed together for a while now, now when we can clean it, i don't think we should now mix it with state information
19:03 <epsy> i mean the settings
19:03 <luke-jr> epsy: so, how should I make Player X's max wall length longer than Player Y's? ☺
19:04 <epsy> (the game physics part should be kicked out sometime, indeed)
19:05 <epsy> well, you're right, we'd better have it all in one split
19:07  * epsy puts in blueprint TODO list: <the thing he's been thinking about for months now>, contexted physics engine
19:07 <luke-jr> epsy: see my idea about moving physics into config with vValue
19:08 <luke-jr> that part I think ended up being the killer, because it was so complex
19:08 <epsy> hrm, you would mean config entries that can handle complex numbers?
19:09 <epsy> hrm, we should port armagetron to quantic computing soon :)
19:11 <luke-jr> quantum*
19:11 <luke-jr> I mean config entries that would hold a function
19:12 <luke-jr> so cycle.position.x would contain the prediction code, potentially
19:12 <epsy> meh, i prefer to avoid that as much as possible, to not fall back into the mixture chaos
19:12 <luke-jr> for AIs, being more predictive than with players
19:13 <luke-jr> yeah, like I said, it is too complex
19:13 <epsy> i see
19:13 <luke-jr> best to leave it as an option down the road
19:28 <hoop> can a wall have height==0 ???
19:28 <epsy> no
19:28 <epsy> use something very small instead
19:28 <hoop> error?
19:28 <epsy> thinking about it, hopefully that it can't be 0 :P
19:29 <hoop> what happens if I make a map with <Wall height="0">
19:30 <hoop> I know I can test myself, hopefully someone already knows that
19:30 <epsy> it shows with default height

19:43 <zmanuel> epsy: ok, read it. What's the difference of it compared to a stricter naming convention for existing settings?
19:44 <epsy> commands would be wiped out
19:44 <zmanuel> That's all?
19:44 <luke-jr> lol
19:45 <epsy> better naming conventions, like you said
19:45 <epsy> ghost settings
19:45 <zmanuel> How would it prevent cheating better?
19:45 <epsy> that's the major parts
19:45 <zmanuel> What are those ghosts?
19:46 <epsy> zmanuel, currently, it's just some sketches drawed in my mind, i'm not sure if the goal will be kept/delivered
19:46 <epsy> zmanuel, allowing to use a config item before it is declared
19:46 <epsy> that is mandatory scripting
19:46 <zmanuel> What the hell does that mean?
19:47 <epsy> AA loads config file settings.dedicated.cfg
19:47 <epsy> it finds setting 'render.zones.style' in it
19:48 <epsy> instead of just stopping here, because it didn't find the setting declared previousely,
19:48 <epsy> it will store it and wait for something(ie. imagine hoop porting his patch to a module/script or something) to claim it
19:49 <zmanuel> Hmm. But suppose the setting never gets claimed. How do you give the user an error message?
19:50 <zmanuel> Or rather, when?
19:50 <epsy> you can't
19:50 <epsy> except maybe when the app shuts down, but that's not efficient at all
19:50 <zmanuel> Right. So it can't be automatic.
19:50 <epsy> also, if the setting is declared in a module, the module has to be loaded
19:50 <zmanuel> The user would have to explicitly say "GHOST render zones.style x"
19:51 <akira_arma> yay biggest banking robbery in history approved :)
19:51 <epsy> to be loaded it has to be in some setting
19:52 <epsy> zmanuel, well, it's more likely to show up in a config file
19:52 -!- aa_voodoo [n=erollet@def92-6-82-230-4-2.fbx.proxad.net] has quit ["Ex-Chat"]
19:52 <epsy> but well, there could be a way of setting a setting in a way you can't set something not declared
19:54 <epsy> the user console could serve to that purpose, ie. to have the user be able to set settings without explicitely using "SET", maybe quake-style
19:54 <epsy> but i'm not really happy with that, since it would blur the barrier between command and setting
19:55 <zmanuel> The SET RIGHT NOW method needs to be the default. We really can't have it that typos get no error reports.
19:56 <epsy> by quake style i mean: if the user opens console, types « some.non.existing.setting.here "and it's value" », he would get an error
19:56 <epsy> now, he can use the /set command, which sets a setting, regardless wether it exists or not
19:56 <zmanuel> Yes, but the same needs to be the case for config files.
19:57 <epsy> how would one write settings that are not "claimed" inside armagetron itself ?
19:58 <zmanuel> How should I know? It's your idea, think of something!
19:58 <zmanuel> perhaps with a later. prefix?
19:58 <zmanuel> Besides, when would actually a setting not be available?
19:59 <epsy> hmm, if you got 20 settings to set for later..
19:59 <epsy> zmanuel, scripting
19:59 <epsy> or moduling/etc
19:59 <zmanuel> The sensible thing there is to load the scripts first, then make the settings.

20:34 <K-Yo> hi hmw
20:38 <hmw> ok, where to start? i cant connect to my hosted game (not dedicated server) from outside (have 2 isp conns here) [...]
20:38 <hmw> i believe the forward is ok, but i am not that expirienced with iptables yet
20:38 <hmw> could anyone check this:
20:39 <K-Yo> hmw:
20:39 <K-Yo> check what?
20:40 <K-Yo> paste here: http://armagetronad.pastebin.com/
20:40 <hmw> [...]
20:40 <hmw> http://armagetron.pastebin.com/m37e9178f
20:40 <hmw> heheh
20:40 <hmw> i was just there to make the post
20:40 <hmw> my question is:
20:41 <hmw> is there a difference between UDP and TCP in that setting?
20:41 <hmw> i guess, it should be fine just to copy the VNC and make it to Armagetron
20:41 <K-Yo> for arma, on dedicated, I use UDP
20:42 <K-Yo> dunno what's the difference
20:42 <K-Yo> anyway, why not use a dedicated server?
20:42 <hmw> TCP is a stable connection, that stays. ...
20:42 <hmw> UDP is non permanent, packets may be lost
20:43 <K-Yo> hm
20:43 <hmw> oh my
20:43 <K-Yo> the TCP is good
20:43  * K-Yo is a noob in connections
20:43 <hmw> theres a choice?? manual says its UDP
20:43 <hmw> well
20:44 <hmw> i am a little tired (my clock shows about 48h45 *g*)
20:44 <K-Yo> 4845? that is quite late
20:45 <hmw> damn i am tired
20:45 <K-Yo> hmw: any question abou arma? :P I can't answer you about those redirecting stuff (but probably some other ppl here can)
20:45 <K-Yo> hmw: why not sleep then?
20:45 <K-Yo> it's the best cure against tireness
20:45 <hmw> i am not going to bother you with router stuff
20:47 <hmw> i dont want to install another software right now. if the "host" option is good enough, that is my choice for now
20:47 <hmw> okay, sorry to have bothered you. i am really tired... connected my notebook via HSDPA without unplugging the LAN
20:47 <hmw> i am stupid sometimes, especially when tired
20:48 <hmw> well
20:48 <hmw> as long as i am here, i could try help others with router stuff... usually i am quite good at this
20:49 <hoop> arma uses udp
20:49 <hmw> but my mistake doesnt explain, why a friend couldnt find me in te list of server... does it take more than 5 minutes after start of hosting, until my game appears in that list?
20:49 <hoop> have he tried with custom connect?
20:49 <hoop> has*
20:50 <hmw> hoop: stop. solved. thanks. i can do it now. my friend couldnt and i just wonder.
20:51 <hmw> is there a huge delay?
20:51 <hmw> i suppose, my game should be listed within 5 seconds
20:52 <epsy> hmw, the masters wait 5 minutes or so before announcing a server
20:52 <hmw> aah... then we were just to impatient. thanks for your attention!
20:54 <hmw> any advise on how to set the game rules? what do people like, what not? what about double bindings? (i have the impression, they are a little unfair)
20:56 <hoop> start with settings you like, then you can ask players for suggestions
20:56 <madmax> try not using a very low CYCLE_DELAY and a too high CYCLE_RUBBER :)
20:56 <K-Yo> yeah
20:57  * madmax notes he has a biased opinion
20:58 <hmw> can i make a game with first person only?
20:59 <hmw> i mean for everybody, wouldnt be fair to play 1st against someone with more overview
21:00 <madmax> you can set a fixed camera for the server, but I think that is only enforced by the client...
21:00 <hmw> sorry, not an english native speaker; you mean: everybody can choose, no matter what i set?
21:01 <K-Yo> hmw: what is ur native language?
21:02 <madmax> no, everyone plays with the camera you define, although you could compile your own version and dodge that :P
21:02 <hmw> german
21:02 <hmw> i see
21:02 <hmw> i really like first person, so i will just hope, that there are some cool folx out there... i read, that the community would be very fine
