mithrothe only think stopping me buying the r6 is the screen resolution00:29

mithrohrm.. it should just work?00:46
nashDidn't the other day00:47
mithrocia has been a bit flaky the other day00:47
mithroand the first commit to a new branch doens't work properly with the email00:47
nashOkay - trying now00:47
CIA-23nash galaxie-dev * r71ed246a3279 /browser.h: Add browser.h00:47

nashInteresting00:49
mithrowhat was interesting?00:49
nashThat it worked the second time00:49
mithroyeah, the first push doesn't work so well because it starts of as 000000...00:50
mithronash: so have you checked out the latest tpclient-pywx-dev?00:50
nashnot yet00:51
* nash fetches00:52
nashheh - my last checkout on my laptop was via darcs.00:53

nashmithro: Is this supposed to mean something?01:14

nash  py2exe executable bundles for windows01:14
nash  py2app dmg packages for Mac OS X01:14
nash  install on a unix system01:14
mithrowhy are you running setup.py?01:14
nash./ gives me three files...01:15
nashSorry 401:15
mithrohttp://www.thousandparsec.net/wiki/Ubuntu_Setup01:15
tpbTitle: Ubuntu Setup - Thousand Parsec Wiki (at www.thousandparsec.net)01:15
nashI don't want a deb, requirements doesn't seem right01:15
nashIn any case the output from setup doesn't make sense01:15
nashIt not a verb.01:16
mithroif I put "produce" in from of the py2exe and py2app are you happy?01:17
mithrothe "Ubuntu Setup" has nothing to do with debs01:18
nashSo setup looks like an install program to me01:18
mithrosetup.py is an install program01:18
nashAnd it puts out a message saying this is what setup does... one of them seems to be the one I want...01:18
nashBUt doesn't seem to do anything01:19
mithrobut you don't want to install unless you have a released version01:19
nashPackage python-wxgtk2.8 is not available, but is referred to by another package.01:19
nashWhy not?01:19
nashEpyon: Couldn't find package python-gconf01:19
mithronash: because you then have to do a "python setup.py --install" after every single update01:20
mithrowhich would be sucky01:20
nash E: Couldn't find package python-gconf01:21
* nash does the same with multiple other programs he gets from source01:22
mithronash: but it can run "inplace"01:23
mithroIE you can just run it out of the directory without installing01:23
nashWhat is pythonw?01:25
nashmithro: There isn't a 2.8 version of wx 2.8 for unstable debian...01:26
* nash is updating to check it hasn't appeared in the last week or so01:26
mithrohttp://wiki.wxpython.org/InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian01:26
tpb<http://ln-s.net/r_b> (at wiki.wxpython.org)01:26
mithroIt's in Ubuntu01:27
mithroso I have no idea why it hasn't made it into unstable yet01:27
mithroit has been out for yonks01:27
CIA-23mithro tpclient-pywx-development * rede3db08c183 /setup.py: Better messages for nash.01:30
nashmithro: Well they claim the first debian supported version was 8 august01:30
nashI'm not surprised it hasn't got in yet...01:31
mithro?01:31
nashOf course the debian maintainer looks like he has given up...01:33
nashShould I have a 'pythonw' ?  What is the difference between python and pythonw?01:33
mithrooh01:34
mithrodang namit01:34
mithropythonw is a windows/macos X only thing01:34

mithrodo you get any output?01:38
nashSo.. shoudl I use your instructions, or that programs instructions?01:38
nashUmm... Are you serious?01:38
CIA-23mithro tpclient-pywx-development * rf7cb9d546874 /requirements.py: Also catch versions which are so old not to include __installpath__.01:38
nash# To use this run,01:39
nash# > ./python-cleanup.py | sudo sh01:39
mithroif that is all you got01:39
mithrothen you don't have any installed versions01:39
mithrocan you paste the complete traceback of requirements.py?01:40
nashWell there is a whole pile of other crap - but piping shit to a root shell.. is just asking for crazyness01:40
nashThat was the entire traceback01:40
nashmithro: Please disable to window less popup box01:42
nashIt's very very annoying01:42
mithrowhat window less popup box?01:42
nashThe splash screen crud01:44
nashIt has a non-window decoration set - And you don't handle xinerama correctly01:44
nashWhich means I get a rather irritating video playing half on one screen, unaligned with the other half on another screen01:45
nashAnd I can't move it01:45
nashOr minimize, or dismiss it (easily)01:45
nash^\ worked the charm at the terminal however01:45
mithroescape should dismiss it01:46
mithrobut you can't dismiss it until the program has loaded01:46
mithroyou can disable the movie with "touch NOSPLASHMOVIE"01:48
nashOkay - but there is still the issue that it has no-decorations, and you don't handle xinerama01:48
nashAnd the splash screen has no decorations as well01:49
nashAnd if I'm not mistaken you are overriding hte WM hints for the login dialog placement01:49
mithrohrm...01:50
mithroI don't have a xinerama setup to test01:50
mithroI just told it to center on the screen01:50
nashCan you ditch it?  It's annoying01:50
nashI hate programs that do that01:50
nashAnyway immediate problem: Username: nash@tp01:51
nashGame is a separate issue, and should be separate in the GUI as well.01:51
nashThe user doesn't care, and shouldn't care about protocol issues01:51
nashNext,,, downloading universe dialog... Why do I care?01:52
nashWhy do I want to 'save' this?01:52
nashSave what?01:52
nashWhy am I clicking OK?01:52
nashShouldn;t that be automatic?01:52
nashThe fonts are screwed in the message window - it seems to be about 30point bold.01:53
nashOtherwise I'll need to keep looking adter I leave work01:53
mithrookay if the message window fonts are screwed then your DPI for your screen is wrong01:54
mithroif you click the G on the window the game becomes a seperate issue01:55
nashmithro: My monitors DPI is off by 0.2%02:02
nashEvery other program I use can happily get it right02:02
mithrohrm...02:03
mithrowell, I am telling it to be 12pt02:03
mithrocan you send a screenshot02:03
nashsure02:04
nashHow do you want me to get it to you?02:06
mithro[15:38] * DCC RECV connect attempt to nash failed (err=Connection refused)02:06
mithroemail or http should work better02:06
mithroif I don't have a center on screen then the window ends up in funny places02:08
mithrois there a way to "hint" that it should be centered?02:08
nashsent02:08
nashGenerally you hint first, the WM fudges with it, then you cna override ti before the window is mapped02:09
nashGenerally it's best not to do anything at all.02:10
mithrowell, then the window is ending up in the top-right hand corner02:10
nashmithro: Why do you want the splash anyway?02:10
nashMost splashes are either there for contractual arrangements or to hide the fact their program is too slow to start02:11
mithrowell, it is to hide the fact that the program is too slow to start :P02:12
mithrothe movie splash is there because it impresses people :P02:12
* nash was irritated02:13
nashgot your email yet?02:13
mithroyeah02:14
nashStill think it is my DPI wrong?02:14
mithroI'm yet to figure out how to get the stupid left hand panel to be the correct size02:14
nashSee the fonts down teh bottom right?02:15
mithrocan you send me a copy of the complete output of requirements.py ?02:15
nashThat is all02:16
CIA-23mithro tpclient-pywx-development * re2145325085c /requirements.py: Make the output a bit nicer on the terminal.02:17
mithrohow did you fix the __installpath__ problem?02:17
nashI updated a efw packages02:18
mithrowhats efw?02:18
mithrohow does one detect the terminal width?02:19
nashmore then a ocuple less then amny02:19
nashWell in my .zshrc I use: ${COLUMNS}02:20
nashOtherwise there si an escape sequence to query it02:20
nashElse it's in termios02:23
CIA-23mithro tpclient-pywx-development * r72b45d19ba1d /requirements.py: Respect the COLUMNS environment.02:30
mithroany idea what I have to give to termios to get the termnial size?02:32
mithrooh, found it02:34
nashCool02:35
nashWhich is it?02:35
* nash only has old ioctl based code here...02:35
CIA-23mithro tpclient-pywx-development * r127e0928aa68 /requirements.py: Also try termios now.02:40
mithroCOLS = struct.unpack('hh', fcntl.ioctl(sys.stdout, termios.TIOCGWINSZ, '1234'))[1]02:40
mithrofrom what I could see that is the "best" way without loading ncurses and friends02:40
mithroseems to work02:40
mithroif all else fails I drop back to 8002:41
nashheh - TIOCGWINSZ is not portable BTW02:41
mithroahh well02:42
mithroit should just fall back to 80 columns then02:42
mithrodid the main window go to full screen across both screens?02:42
nashNope - just one02:43
nashwhich is what I expect02:43
mithrohrm...02:46
mithroit seems to be centering correctly on one screen in windows :/02:46
nashAre you resizing or just maximizing?02:53
mithroi'm just calling the "CenterOnScreen" method03:39
nashOKAY03:40
nashOkay - it may force it...03:40
nashAnyway - I'm bailing03:40
nashtalk to you later03:40

llnzmithro: i intend to remove Frame:unpackString (and use unpackStdString instead) at some point04:58
mithrollnz: that would be good04:59
mithrotpserver-cpp would have problems if I sent strings with nulls in it04:59
llnzyou should never send nulls04:59
mithrollnz: doesn't really matter, a malicious user could send nulls04:59
llnzhtml indecates that they should be escaped04:59
niphreemithro: ok. I'll start now :]05:00
mithroniphree: cool05:00
llnznulls don't crash the server or anything05:00
llnzjust the end of the string gets ingored (and then freed)05:00
mithrostill bad05:01
mithrothe error message returned should be better now05:01
llnzthe old method (unpackString) is even nice enough to remove them before sending it to the clients05:01
llnzwhy?05:01
llnzit was fine the bit you have touched05:02
llnzand in places you have added checks where they are not needed05:02
mithrollnz: why?05:03
llnzbecause the check before checked it05:04
mithrodid it?05:04
llnzyeah05:04
mithrowhere?05:04
llnzListParameter::unpackFrame05:05
mithroyou did no checks in unPackString05:05
llnzyes i did05:05
llnzand frame:unpackString can't return NULL, btw05:06
llnzhence:05:06
llnz> rtnstr = new char[1];05:06
llnz> rtnstr[0] = '\0';05:06
llnzreturn rtnstr;05:06
mithrowhy can't it return null?05:06
llnzreturning null gives segfaults05:06
mithrollnz: why? you should be checking the result of unPackString05:07
llnzjust trust me that most of the Frame code is going to be re-written at some point, and then it will be all fine05:07
llnzwhy? it never returns null, and always gives a valid string05:08
mithrollnz: what did you code do when I send a string length of -1?05:08
llnzit returned an empty string05:09
mithrono it didn't05:09
llnzyes it did05:09
mithro}else if(len == 0){05:09
mithrolen == -105:09
llnzif (len > 0 && length >= unpackptr + len)05:09
mithrolen is < 005:09
mithrohence it fails the first if05:09
mithroit fails the second if05:09
mithroyou print the log message05:10
llnzah, true05:10
mithroand fail05:10
mithrowith returning null05:10
mithrobefore that patch, you don't know where unpacking failed either05:11
mithroniphree: also, you appear to be trying to write files to the disk05:13
mithrothat really needs to be fixed05:13
mithroand sometimes i'm getting strange responses back from the server05:14
mithroso I would like to know where it is failing05:14
niphreewhat responses ?05:15
niphreeand when ?05:15
niphreeI'm going to make myself caffee05:17
mithroniphree: ?05:22
CIA-23llnz tpserver-cpp * r2447d82a3cb5 /tpserver/frame.cpp:05:25
CIA-23Fixed unpackStdString to use all of the data, not just to the first null05:25
CIA-23which is silly anyway.05:25
niphreemithro: back05:26
mithrollnz: what about the rest of that patch?05:27
mithroniphree: I didn't understand your last two questions05:27
niphree[11:16] <mithro> and sometimes i'm getting strange responses back from the server05:31
niphree[11:16] <mithro> so I would like to know where it is failing05:31
mithroniphree: oh, that was directed at llnz and tpserver-cpp05:31
mithronot the metaserver :)05:31
niphreeok :]05:31
niphreeI was.. like : "AAA.. something wrong :/ "05:31
mithroniphree: did you have a look at some of my changes?05:32
niphreeyes05:33
niphreeI'm thinking to change 'connect.php' to class05:34
niphreeand you said that I'm writing something to file - I don't know what to do when I create image to graph.05:34
niphreebut in flash chart - I think I know what to do05:35
mithroniphree: make your php file return the image?05:35
CIA-23llnz tpserver-cpp * r499134f68d58 /tpserver/ (listparameter.cpp stringparameter.cpp):05:36
CIA-23Made ListParameter and StringParameter use unpackStdString instead of unpackString05:36
CIA-23which means I can remove unpackString in a minute.05:36
CIA-23llnz tpserver-cpp * r5ebc39e602cb /tpserver/ (playeragent.cpp playertcpconn.cpp): Removed last usage of unpackString in PlayerAgent and PlayerTcpConnection.05:40

CIA-23llnz tpserver-cpp * rec4863b1f5d1 /tpserver/ (frame.cpp frame.h):05:44

CIA-23One less piece of old crappy code in tpserver-cpp05:44
llnzmithro: pong05:44
mithrollnz: re the unpackString, yay!05:44
mithrollnz: but what about the rest of that patch?05:44
mithrospecifically the change from isEnoughtRemaining with magic numbers and better error returns?05:45
llnzif they were two separate patches, then the isEnoughRemaining patch *might* have be merged, but i don't like the using the Results class05:47
mithrowhy?05:47
mithrohow else would you do it?05:47
mithroexceptions?05:47
llnzexceptions05:47
llnzthey can be thrown fairly far in tpserver-cpp05:47
mithroexceptions would be good05:47
llnzjust remember that tpserver-cpp isn't there to debug clients, it's only a secondary effect05:48
mithrollnz: true, but most of the time it just crashes on a bad client05:49
mithrothe side effect of returning better information is better code05:50
mithroand code which reads much better05:51
mithrothis code is much clearer and self documenting05:52
mithro+  if(!f->isEnoughRemaining(4))05:52
mithro+    return NotEnough("TimeParameter (Maximum)");05:52
mithro+  f->unpackInt();05:52
mithrothen05:52
mithro-  if(!f->isEnoughRemaining(8))05:52
mithro-    return false;05:52
llnzif(!f->isEnoughRemaining(4))05:53
llnz throw EndOfFrame();05:53
mithros/return NotEnough(/throw NotEnough(/ is pretty easy05:53
mithrollnz: I can convert to an exception method05:57
llnzif i used exceptions properly, i wouldn't need to call isEnoughRemaining05:58
mithrotrue05:59
mithrobblr dinner06:00
* llnz wonders if mithro is inventing this issues so that tpserver-cpp will never reach 0.5.0, let alone production status (ie 1.0.0)06:12
llnzs/this/these/06:12
mithrollnz: not might fault you use a language which segfaults :P06:55
llnztpclient-pywx-dev was segfaulting the other day....06:55
mithroyeah I know06:56
mithroit's an avahi problem :/06:56
mithrobtw, you should probably be a little more careful with the signness of the ints you unpack?06:57
llnzmithro: no06:58
mithrono?06:58
mithrothat string problem wouldn't have occured if you made sure you where unpacking a "unsigned" int, as it wouldn't be possible for it to be negative06:58
mithrosame goes for various list unpacking06:59
llnzwell... somewhat true, i supose06:59
mithroan unpackUInt could be useful (and watching the compiler warnings for bad casts)07:00
llnzyou don't get warnings for sign-ness casts07:00
mithroyes you do with the correct -W option07:01
mithroI'm sometimes getting this error07:02
mithroUnable to insert the order...Could not add order, Unable to unpack Frame.07:02
mithrowhich is what I was trying to track down with the above patch07:02
mithroonly I can't reliably reproduce the error07:03
mithroand there is a strange cache bug going on which I've yet to find the cause for07:03
mithrollnz: does tpserver-cpp touch the mod-time of an object everytime to change an order?07:03
llnzno, not currently07:03
mithroI think that is what is causing my problem07:04
llnzprobably07:04
mithrohow hard is it to add?07:04
CIA-23llnz tpserver-cpp * rf1b591d3615d /tpserver/ (frame.cpp frame.h):07:06
CIA-23Remove packString(char*) as well.07:06
CIA-23Not used.07:06
llnznot too hard, just a second07:06
mithrollnz: here is a deal, When you can get 5 games of Minisec to the finish (IE One final winner) with 5 AI players and no segfaults - I will buy you a commemorative gear including a personalised Mug07:11
CIA-23llnz tpserver-cpp * r69fb700d1178 /tpserver/orderqueue.cpp:07:13
CIA-23Touch Object modtime if objectid is set when the orderqueue modtime is touched.07:13
CIA-23Should fix mithro's cache issue problem.07:13
llnzmithro: the first thing would be for you to tell me how to start 5 ai players07:13
mithrollnz: sure07:13
mithrofor i in 1 2 3 4 5; do ./tpsai-py tp://ai$i:password@localhost > ai$i.log 2>&1 &; done07:14
llnzahh, it takes a url07:16
mithroyes07:17
mithrogreywhind: ping07:17
mithrollnz: so does galaxie07:17
mithromaybe 2-3 tpsai-py and 2-3 galaxie's07:17
llnz"if the libraries aren't in debian unstable, it doesn't get built"07:19
mithrollnz: ?07:19
mithrowhat is that from?07:20
llnzmy little motto so i don't install thousands of packages i only use once07:20
mithroI wonder why wx2.8 hasn't made it into debian unstable :/07:23
mithrollnz: how do exceptions work in C++ (in terms of the allocation of memory?)07:26
llnzobjects on the stack are destroyed, the exception thing (can be object or PDT) is passed to the exception handler07:28
mithroPDT?07:28
llnzprimative data type (ie char, int, pointer, etc)07:29
mithroit's passed by value?07:29
llnzyes07:29
mithrookay07:30
mithrollnz: i'm also getting a strange occurance where remove_orders are taking up to a second to execute07:30
mithroonly I can't figure out if it's libtpproto-py or tpserver-cpp07:32
llnzcode is quite simple in tpserver-cpp, can't see anything that would make it take a second07:33
mithroit's almost as if enough data isn't ready and hence it sleeps for a bit07:40
mithroxdotx: ping?07:41
mithrollnz: do you know much about autoconf on Mac OS X?07:42
llnznope07:42
mithrohas guit???? was having trouble with libtprl on his box07:42
mithrollnz: so when will persistence be fixed?07:45
llnzafter playerview is working07:45
mithrois there any way tpserver-cpp could preserve console history over runs?07:46
llnzhummm.... there is a way i think, i'll have to look it up07:46
llnzprobably just a env var flag07:47

mithroI think it has to do with the options list07:57
mithroI'm pretty sure it's in the following code07:59
mithrobool ListParameter::unpackFrame(Frame *f, unsigned int playerid){07:59
mithro  if(!f->isEnoughRemaining(8))07:59
mithro    return false;07:59

mithro      return false;07:59
mithro    f->unpackInt();07:59
mithro  }07:59
mithrothat code is very obtuse08:00
mithrowhat is this --> ?    if(!f->isEnoughRemaining(8 + (selsize - i + 1) * 12))08:00
llnzchecks if there is enough data for the remaining part of the selectable list, plus 4 bytes for the size of the chosen list08:01
llnznote that the selectable list should have zero elements (read only list)08:02
mithrowhy is that in a loop?08:02
llnzbecause the string is not a constant size08:02
mithrowhy not just check for 4 bytes for the unpackInt?08:02
llnzfail early?08:02
mithrowhy not have this08:03
mithrobool ListParameter::unpackFrame(Frame *f, unsigned int playerid){08:03
mithro  if(!f->isEnoughRemaining(4))08:03

mithrothat is much easier to see what is going on08:04
llnzhummm....08:05
mithro(8 + (selsize - i + 1) * 12) <- that is very obtuse08:08
llnzahhhh08:14
llnzi think08:14
mithro?08:15
llnzshould be (8 + (selsize - i - 1) * 12), i think08:15
llnzjust checking now08:16
mithrosee what I mean :P08:16
llnzbut it only happens when the client is being bad, so still a bug on your end08:17
mithroyour code being "to smart" introduced an error in your code08:18
CIA-23llnz tpserver-cpp * ra828f921ab88 /tpserver/listparameter.cpp:08:19
CIA-23Fixed bug that only bad clients trigger.08:19
CIA-23Hopefully the code will get simpler in future with the use of exceptions.08:19
llnzbtw: 5 ai (plus me until i go to bed) playing on tp://llnz.dyndns.org/tp08:20
mithrothe protocol doesn't say a client is required to send the parameters as empty08:22

llnza UInt32, read only, Maximum number of can to be selected08:23
llnzNOTE: read only fields should be transmitted by the client as 0, empty lists or empty string to conserve bandwidth08:25
mithrollnz: "should" as appose to "required"08:25
mithroThe server will ignore any information in read only field (even if they are non-empty).08:26
llnzfrom the rfc standards: (must|shall) >> (should|recommend) >> (can|may)08:27
mithroThe server MUST ignore any information in read only field (even if they are non-empty).08:28
llnzyes, it was08:28
llnzand ignoring everything else too08:28
llnz:-)08:28
mithrollnz: which is incorrect behaviour on the server08:29
llnzcould you put a small random delay in tpsai-py between when it receives note of end of turn and starts downloading the data (ie about 5 seconds or so)08:30
mithrollnz: why?08:31
llnzjust spread out the load a little08:32
llnzas long as the turn length is much longer08:32
mithroI have been using 10 second turns08:32
llnzi find it hard to keep up with 10 second turns :-p08:34

mithropurely random data is not compressible and provable so08:57
llnz> There is no compressor that can compress every09:00
llnz>  single 36-byte file by at least one bit.09:00
Epyonentropy :P09:00
llnz36 bytes isn't much either, but its 256^36 possible files == 4.97323e+8609:01
* llnz did an honours course in text compression09:01
llnzif you see a compression text book by Tim Bell, he was my lecturer09:02
EpyonThere is no compressor that can compress every singly x-byte file by at least one bit for every x :P09:02
jothamthe thread is pretty amusing09:02
EpyonThe proof for that is pretty easy :{09:02
mithroif you find a compressor which can compress every x-byte file to x-1 byte file, you can compress everything to 1 bit09:03
Epyonyep :P09:03
mithroyay for induction! :P09:04
llnzhutter prize: very good compression == AI (discuss possibility of fact)09:05

mithrowhat is the problem with planets?09:08
jothamit doesn't matter, it's my artistic nature being the problem09:08
jothamnot the planets09:09
jothamand talking about it wont help09:09
* mithro just wants to see cool demos :P09:09
jothamyeah i need to render out those explosions in a useful format too at some stage09:10
jothambut it'll take about 5 hours per animation09:10
jothamthe guy who made them has a much faster pc =)09:10
jothami think in a simple case where you have 2-4 fleets or so and 1 planet, the planet should be in the center09:14
jothambut, beyond one planet, i'm not sure, there are various ways of treatin git09:14
mithrowell, get a good one planet situation first :P09:16
jothami spent much of the last couple of days i've been sick playing with elipses and various metaball style boundary generators09:16
jothamif you visualise that the ships are like particles attached to the edge of a shape in the center, and that shape is the planets plus their 'boundaries'09:17
