sidgeanyone around?21:04
STalKer-Xmaybe21:05
sidgeIs it bad that i havnt used irc for maybe ten years21:06
sidgebeen getting all the typing i can stand out of those mmo's21:07
sidgeanyway...I have always loved master of orion 221:07
sidgeand so i have ended up here21:08
sidgeI know a little about c++ programing and graphics...but its been ages21:08
sidgecurrently snagging loads of dev tools via synaptic21:09
sidgeand reading freeorions forums21:11
sidgethe art done so far looks great21:11
sidgeyou were not kidding about maybe21:17
*** mithro has joined #freeorion21:35
STalKer-Xwhat should i say, sidge? :)21:40
sidgeI dont know :)21:41
sidgewas just reading about the openAL stuff that happened two years ago21:41
sidgethought it was recent...untill i noticed the 8 in 2008 was actually a 621:42
sidgejust noticed the todo list...reading through that21:42
STalKer-Xheh~21:42
sidgebut first im going to have to figure out subversion21:43
STalKer-Xhave fun :)21:43
sidgelast time i played around with this sort of stuff was when i was trying to fix gimp for windows21:43
STalKer-Xfar easier to use on windows with tortoisesvn :D21:43
sidgeto work proply on a tablet i have21:43
STalKer-Xthere hasn't been any commit to FO for almost 2 months - dunno whats up with the devs :P21:44
sidgegot it to compile with the tarballs but the scripts on svn just plain would not work21:44
sidgeim noticing that21:45
sidgethings seemed to have stalled around june21:45
sidgeOn the tablet...about a year later that bug i was having in gimp got fixed...21:47
sidgeand it was really simple...21:47
sidgeand that was all about 2 years ago...21:48
sidgehave switched over to linux now, It seems to save me work...overall21:48
STalKer-Xdepends :)21:49
sidgeI have sure had a lot of trouble with graphics drivers lately21:50
sidgeshould not have bought ati...21:50
sidgebut it seems to all be working properly now...21:51
sidgeso, i need something else to fix21:52
sidgeIve been reading the forums....still trying to get some idea about how the economy is supposed to work in FO21:54
sidgehmm, they want someone to work on shaders...21:56
sidgenot sure those work quite right on this comp right now though...21:56
STalKer-Xbest place is to ask on the forums anyway21:58
sidgemostly just reading looking for a project21:58
sidgedont really want to stir up controversy on economic theory21:59
sidgebut i have a killer idea on galactic trade/economy22:00
sidgeat least i think its good22:00
sidgebeen thinking about it for about a year22:00
sidgebut its pretty different from the direction i see things going in the forum...22:01
sidgei think22:01
sidgejust saw this22:02
sidgeExpose a Python scripting interface for server-side universe creation and game start setup. Top priority: once universe has planets and empires, allow custon script to create ships and shipdesigns, grant techs to empires, mark systems as explored by empires, etc. Should function by exposing effects that do these tasks, which would require adding CreateObject and other effects to expose. Also allow scripts to generate whole universes, with planets, systems,22:02
sidgethis seems critical22:03
sidgewhat are they doing now?22:03
sidgejust about bed time for me22:08
sidgestill have 20 minutes worth of dev stuff to download...22:09
STalKer-Xdunno :)22:12
sidgeproably something in C++22:13
sidgeseems like folks like to use python for design and c++ for low level stuff like graphics22:14
sidgeI havnt used python very much22:14
sidgeso i dont know why22:14
sidgemaybe to avoid compiling22:16
STalKer-Xit's easy to script things22:24
sidgei guess so22:34
sidgeI made it about halfway through the python tutorial and havnt looked at since22:34
sidgebeen meaning to22:34
sidgefolks seem to like python22:34
sidgeI see it used in a lot of stuff22:37
sidgethe spacelane pathing is of particular interest22:38
sidgethere, all the dev stuff is done22:41
sidgelets see if subversion works22:42
sidgeoh, i only thought the dev stuff was done...22:49
sidgeeclipse looks interesting but it needs more plugins22:49
STalKer-Xprobably22:50
sidgehave you tried it?22:55
STalKer-Xnever22:56
sidgeshould be intersting22:59
sidgehas its own package management system23:00
sidgelooks like it took a ton of work to make23:00
sidgeI will be shocked as hell if all this stuff just works...23:01
sidgehmm, where did i see the url for the svn server...23:02
sidgeoops...missing something23:07
sidgeforgot to install some sort of svn client23:10
sidgei wonder if eclipse will figure out i have it once its installed...23:10
sidgethere might be a better way of going about this stuff...23:11
*** STalKer-X has quit IRC23:17
