CIA-19Added OwnedObjects member to PlayerView, and related methods.04:44
CIA-19Should make things like sensor sweeps easier. And can be also used to see04:44

CIA-19TurnTimer now takes dead players into account when checking threshold.04:58
CIA-19Including checking whether the player of the TurnFinished frame is dead or04:58
CIA-19not. Should make setting the threshold a bit more simple.04:58

remaximhello llnz06:24
remaximllnz, do you have a video of the battleviewer or the battleviewer on your pc?06:25
llnzdon't have the battleviewer or a video of it, but I do have the video from starmapper06:27
remaximwhat's the starmapper?06:27
llnzstarmapper is a tool for plotting empires (among other things) from a space game server (TP or stars!)06:28
remaximllnz, something like this: http://www.thousandparsec.net/~tim/test-battle.avi06:29

remaximthanks08:56
remaximJLP, do you need the links for those 3 songs?08:56
remaximso you don't have to search for them ...08:56
JLPremaxim: no need to, i can quickly find them in our IRC logs08:58
remaximJLP, I posted a lot of unfinished material ;)08:58
JLPremaxim: well, if you feel i should only include some of them, then it is best that you give the list of the ones08:59

remaximgreat post, thanks!09:27
remaximI have some discussions with the guys at #gnu about the licensing of the work09:44
JLPand what do they say? GPL or CC by-sa?09:52
remaximJLP, they say I should release it as CC by-sa...09:55
remaximbut I don't want to09:55
JLPoh, which license did you have in mind?09:57
remaximprobably GPL or something like that...09:58
remaximand a second one as CC-BY-SA-NC for jamendo ;)09:58
JLPwell as far as i know GPL is quite close to CC by-sa09:59
remaximmusic licensing seems to be big bag of shit ... :(09:59
remaximmany people don't see that there is a huge diffrence between music and software10:00
JLPyeah all licensing is crap, if all people would be fair and all then we would not need licenses and lawyers10:01
remaximJLP, I don't think so... I like close source as well, but I want good conditions for releasing freely ...10:02

remaximyep...15:26
remaximG 9-2 to be precise ;)15:27
peresi guess the guys may like it as background music15:27
remaximso, do you like it?15:29
peresi do15:29
remaximIt's no problem if not!15:29
remaximsorry, too late15:29
peresnoob question: how do you make it longer without looping?15:29
remaximthanks15:29
remaximperes, are you the noob asking it? ;)15:29
peresi am15:29
remaximok... it easy...15:30
remaximit's looped15:30
remaximI did about 6-8 lines and then just switched between them15:30
remaximit's still looped, but with diffrent lines15:30
peresthat's what i wanted to know15:30
peresso you could add more length this way15:31
remaximperes, I never heard of any producer who doesn't loop ;)15:31
greywhindpretty much any music will have some repeated sections15:31
remaximperes, of course as long as you want it to be15:31
remaximgreywhind, yep... usually the voice is the only part which is not looped15:32
peresok, i understand looping, but i was wondering if anybody wouldn't turn off their speakers after a couple of times15:32
peresunless you loop a very long track, it's going to be annoying after a while15:32
greywhindperes: that's why you want more than one piece, or more than one section of the piece.15:33
remaximyep... you just have to put some variations in it15:33
* peres can't speak music-ese15:33
greywhindand if it's in the background, not the focus of a person's concentration, they usually won't get too tired of it15:33
peresgreywhind: that's a good point. I'm probably thinking of the typical pop song playing over and over...15:34
remaximperes, just put some breaks in it, add a extra instrument ... that's it15:35
peresremaxim: so, my recommendation would be to add slide guitar section15:35
peres:P15:35
remaximthat's a problem for many people who aren't used to hiphop ..15:35
remaximperes, are you serious?15:35
peresi don't mean a loud slide guitar15:36
perescan you experiment with some muffled sound? it may merge well with the keyboards15:36
remaximperes, I only have my midi keyboard to produce with ;)15:36
perestoo bad ;)15:36
remaximthat's kind of hard to do with it... I could use samples and cut them... but that's it15:37
peresi'm sorry, that was just an idea... based on personal taste :)15:37
remaximnp...15:38
remaximperes, you told me to add some female voice in the intro15:38
peresi did ;) should i feel guilty?15:38
remaximthat was a great Idea, I even had some stuff experiments with that... but now I was told that the intro has to be synchron to a video they showed me15:39
peresi see, so no room for voices?15:40
remaximprobably not15:40
pereshave you still got some of your experiments somewhere? i would enjoy listening to them15:41
remaximperes, yes I have... they had been awful...15:43
remaximshit, sorry... wrong button15:43
remaximI hope I didn't do anything bad15:43
greywhindremaxim: looks the same as before15:43
pereswow wikipedia is down15:44
remaximgreywhind, ok... then it should be alright I think15:45
remaximperes, true15:45
remaximperes, http://git.thousandparsec.net/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=tpclient-pywx.git;a=blob;f=graphics/intro-high.mpg;h=8a212f4dabf739799abfeb50760fe3f8bd9db90f;hb=development    ... that how the intro will look like15:46
tpb<http://ln-s.net/1DpY> (at git.thousandparsec.net)15:46
remaximgreywhind, do you know who did the intro?15:47
greywhindremaxim: nope15:47
remaximI think it looks great... like some 90's game intro15:47
remaximperes, it's not only that there is no room for voices... I don't have any fucking idea how to synchronize the music to the video15:48
peresthere is just a nine second splash screen in that intro, is that right?15:48
peresremaxim: you will need to ask the guy who made the intro to give you cues for events15:49
peresso you know what is meant to happen at each time and can compose your music according to it15:50
remaximperes, great idea... never thought of that15:50
peresotherwise, music and video would always look out of sync :)15:51
remaximperes, I thought of an software based solution, but your's probably better15:51
peresremaxim: the less software you have, the less can break ;)15:52
remaximperes, as long as my music doesn't break everything's alright15:52
peresi wonder how it could...15:52
remaximperes, me too ;)15:53
peresmy idea for the intro screen would be a longer black section at the beginning, so you can put voices in there15:53
remaximjust wanted to say something intellegent ;)15:53
remaximperes, I think it's kind of hard creating those voices15:54
peresthen a soft electric sound builds up (maybe the voices can become keyboard sounds) as the stars began to race leaving their trail15:54
peresand a big BOOM when the logo appears :P15:55
peresand a low male voice can be heard saying: 'thousand parsec, way more fps than counterstrike' at the end :P15:56
* peres goes upstairs and gets his medicine for madness15:57
remaximperes, I like the idea of the male voice...15:57
remaximI think there is the words "thousand parsec" missing at the end anyway15:58
peresfunny how it may sound, i was serious about everything BUT the male voice :P15:58
remaximperes, of course not in counterstrike kind, but it would be interesting I think16:00
remaximwith some echoes in it16:02
