SleyrodI have a noob programing question...12:46
JLPSleyrod: ahoy12:48
Sleyrodk12:48
SleyrodSome of friends and I wanna make a MMORTS12:49
SleyrodDo you thinks it is possible with taking TP as the base of that project?12:50
Sleyrod(i am sorry for my english writing, i am not a native writer ...12:50
JLPSleyrod: hm, i don't know how good TP would work with real time strategy, currently it is more turn based oriented12:52
JLPbut then again i also don't know that much about TP and stuff12:53
JLPSleyrod: i think it is best that you talk with mithro when he comes online12:53
Sleyrodok...12:54
JLPSleyrod: btw, how did you find us here?12:55
SleyrodI wanna develop, and i click on develop! http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/dev/index.php12:56

JLPSleyrod: oh cool? so do you know TP from before?12:57
SleyrodI have to lunch, if you see mithro can you forward him that ? "[email protected]"12:58
SleyrodOn Wiki...12:58
Sleyrod*pédia12:58
Sleyrodi am back in a half hour12:58
JLPSleyrod: nice, yeah, i'll tell mithro about you, if he comes during your launch (bon apetit)12:59
JLPremaxim: any new musical creations while my internet connection was down?13:01
remaximJLP, not yet13:01
remaximJLP, I don't know what do to do anymore13:01
JLPremaxim: ok then, so i didn't miss anything13:01
remaximI can't get any infos about the battle viewer ... that's why13:01
*** Erroneous has joined #tp13:02
JLPi'll try to find something so that i can record a video about it so you can see how it currently looks13:03
remaximthat would be great13:04
remaximJLP, do you think it will be in a good stage in the near future?13:05
JLPremaxim: have no idea, it's not up to me13:07
remaximJLP, I dunno how to contact jotham ...13:07
JLPif i'm not mistaken jotham is working on it13:08
remaximI already tried it some times by pinging him13:08
remaximJLP, I know...13:08
JLPhehe, i was too slow :)13:08
JLPjotham is probably busy with other work right now13:09
remaximI think so too...13:09
remaximJLP, do you know if there is any soundsupport in TP?13:10
remaximJLP, I already organized everything so I can additionaly release a "Soundtrack of Thousand Parsec" album on jamendo :)13:12
JLPwell currently no client has support for sound yet, as we didn't have any music until you came around to change that13:13
JLPbut it's not hard at all to add it, a couple lines to open the file and play it back and that will be it13:13
JLPyeah Jamendo is cool13:14
remaximJLP, it would be cool if some of you could do that and try to play the game with music for a while!13:14
remaximso I can get some feedback on it and improve it13:15
JLPalthough it is bad that they have removed some nice features in the new orange site that they have now, and they no longer have the better Ogg Vorbis format :(13:15
remaximthey don't have vorbis anymore????13:15
remaximwtf?13:15
remaximyou're joking, at least I hope so13:16
JLPnope, i'm afraid not, people are already demanding they put Ogg Vorbis back on their blog - http://blog.jamendo.com/index.php/2007/12/07/jamendo-has-turned-orange-launch-of-the-new-version/#comments13:17
tpb<http://ln-s.net/1JVJ> (at blog.jamendo.com)13:18
remaximI see :(13:22
remaximthat's truly bad13:22
remaximJLP, I think I m going to quit working for TP in some days13:23
remaximI just want to finish those 3 main songs and the intro...13:25
remaximI need to know how long those 3 main songs should be and if 2 and 3 need a end13:25
JLPi think it would be nice if the songs (the ones for the time of playing the game) would be around 3-5 minutes long13:27
JLPthe last music for the into movies is already very good if you ask me, not a lot to change, unless you feel like experimenting in different directions13:28
remaximJLP, which one is the last one ;)13:29
JLPi've got high3 here13:30
remaximJLP, there is already a high 6...13:30
remaximat least an official high 6 ...13:30
remaximunofficially there about 1313:30
JLPoh then i did miss something here13:31

remaximJLP, there are only some minor changes13:31
remaximwhat do you think of the new one?13:32
JLPlet's see and hear13:32
JLPremaxim: aha i like it that there is no echo in the big bang in the end13:34
JLPmaybe the collision sound could be more bassy13:35
remaximJLP, what do you think about the middle part?13:35
remaximJLP, I wasted the original music file for high 6 :(13:35
remaximI just saved a new version on it :(13:35
JLPoh nice, i see mithro was interviewd by ITWire13:37

remaximjust wanted to mention it13:39
Sleyrodok!13:40
SleyrodAlso, just for finish about how i know TP, i just found the TP website yesterday... i am a TP noob!13:41
remaximSleyrod, I am just a contributor ... I never play it myself as well13:42
remaximdon't worry13:42
Sleyrod:-)13:42
remaximSleyrod, just working on the soundtrack13:43

JLPlisten to it and tell remaxim what could be better in your opinion13:45
remaximSleyrod, just do what JLP tells you ;)13:46
JLPand don't worry about being a noob, about a year ago I was also a TP noob13:46

mithromorning people18:00
mithrojotham: last day on the project today?18:00
jothamthat was yesterday18:01
jothami just woke up18:01
mithrojotham: oh, so you are enjoying your freedom now?18:02
jothamno18:02
jothamrealestate agent coming in an hour18:02
jothamto show people through my appartment18:02
jotham:\18:02
jothambut yeah i think as soon as the numb of being fucked by my job wears off i'll enjoy it =p18:02
mithrojotham: need a large amount of junk food a a good 24 episodes of something :)18:03
jothamsounds good18:04
mithrothen we can have an ubber cool battleviewer? :P18:10
jothamyeah18:11
jothami am wanting to build a machine, it's going to have 1 to 1.5 terabytes of space, raid 5'ed, either a quad or dualcore core2 duo, i want to be able to virtualise 2-3 linuxes on it, and 1 winxp - i need to know 1) what host OS and virtualiser would be best 2) subisiquently what CPU would be best18:12
jothamwondered if any of you had any experience18:12
mithrowell, the current sweet spot is the Q6600 intel core2 (it's a quad core processor)18:12
jothamthat's what my mate said18:13
mithroprobably want a motherboard based around a p35 chipset18:13
mithroI would get 4x2GB of ram (it's extremly cheap at the moment)18:14
mithroI would probably recommend then installing a 64bit Linux (Ubuntu) and running VMWare Server18:14
mithroor maybe KVM18:14
jothami thought vmware was pay18:14
jothamit needs to be legal and free18:14
mithrojotham: VMWare Server / VMWare player are "free as in beer" products18:15
mithroKVM is the best one if you want "free as in freedom"18:16
mithroKVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although work is underway to get the required changes upstream.18:16
jothamhum18:16
mithroXEN is the evil :P18:17
nashlguest... You can at least read the code18:17
mithronash: lguest is pretty cool - but kvm is better performing18:17
mithrolguest is really good if you want to learn to write your own VM stuff :)18:18
mithroI use vmware-server at home to run a windows 2000 terminal server18:19
nashmithro: You only looking at wall time performance... performance per line is much better in lguest18:19
mithroI also use vmware-server at work to run a windows xp box for development18:19
* nash notes he is not actually advocating using lguest in this situation ;-)18:19
mithromaybe we should start a Rusty fan club :P18:20
nashmithro: LCA-announc18:20
nashmithro: or maybe lca-discuess18:20
mithrojotham: so yeah, use either kvm or vmware-server18:22
jothamthis is my christmas present and hobby hardware project for myself18:23
mithroI'm thinking of getting the Q6600 with a P35 motherboard and 4x2GB of ram18:24
mithroso then I can run a decent size thousandparsec universe :P18:25
mithroand finally catch up on like the 100 decent games which have been released since my computer became obsolete18:27
jothamheh i hear that18:33
jothamguess i should go with an intel mobo too huh18:33
mithrojotham: no, a MSI or gigabyte board is fine18:37
mithrojust get the P35 chipset18:37
mithroit's the best currently18:38
jothamhey if i get a chip with a 1066mhz fsb, do i need to get a mobo with the same?18:38
jothamthe p35 mobos are 1333fsb18:38
mithrothe p35 should run down to 1066mhz fsb fine18:38
mithrocheck the compatibility page for the board18:38
jothamholy crap, a 2 gig stick for 89$ kiwi? ram has got cheap18:40
jothamok that's going to cost me 1.5k including tax18:41
mithrojotham: NZ?18:41
jothamyar18:41
mithroI'm getting Elixir 2GB DDR-2 800MHz for around $60 AUD18:42
mithrowhich was like $120 2 months ago18:43
jothamnext question, do i really want to drop around 2k18:50
jothamon a new machine18:50
mithroI'm hoping to get my machine for under 1k - but I don't have any HD's or similar stuff18:53
jothamthe 3 500 gig drives are setting me back $700 kiwi18:55
mithrojotham: that sounds pretty good price18:55
