ezodllnz: thanks for the dialogue on tpserver, most helpful!06:07
llnzezod: no problem06:07
ezodllnz: and i wouldn't dream of developing something without a cli interface ;)06:08
llnzjotham: blabber incoherently, if you need to06:08
llnzezod: cool06:08
jothamneed to know how to wrap a line around a circle06:09
ezodcommand line interface interface..06:09
jothambut i don't think that's what i want06:09
jothami think i want to convert coordinates from one space to another06:09
llnzjotham: there are some nice transforms equations from spherical coordinates to rectalinear06:11
llnzand the other way06:11
*** peres has quit IRC06:12
ezodoh, what do you need? i just spent the past 2 years coding coordinate space transformations06:13
mithrohey jotham06:23
CIA-29llnz ruleset-book * ra84bed73f594 / (3 files in 2 dirs):06:34
CIA-29Added section on created UniverseObjectType, and added example files.06:34
CIA-29Added appendix with the example files in. Also added package verbatim to get06:34
CIA-29the verbatiminput command to include whole files into the appendix.06:34
mithrohow does one print out using sprintf a char in hex06:42
mithroahh %hhx06:43
llnz%x06:44
ezoddoesn't %x just print out a hex number?06:45
ezodoh i guess that's what you want06:45
mithroyeah you need the hh to tell it that it's a uint8_t06:45
ezodi see06:45
mithrollnz: so what is preventing you from doing a release then?06:50
llnzcurrently, nothing06:50
mithrollnz: more testing?06:50
mithrollnz: have you tried a minisec AI battle?06:50
llnzthought i would be good an announce i'm going to do it, so testers and packages could get ready06:50
llnznot yet, tpsai-py needs forward porting :-)06:51
mithrollnz: it's easy to checkout the older branch06:51
mithroI won't get to forward porting it anytime soon06:51
llnzi will do06:51
CIA-29llnz ruleset-book * r4b9b3f1b5c6e / (3 files in 2 dirs):06:51
CIA-29Added files for Basic ruleset module example.06:51
CIA-29Also added namespace to example, to be good. Needed to rename ruleset class06:51
CIA-29to avoid having to explain a whole lot about namespaces.06:51
llnzis it just libtpclient-py that it needs the old version of?06:52
llnzgot it working06:58
llnzi don't want to think what this is going to do to my disk usage....07:00
llnzthe database is already 15MB from 34 turns of just me07:02
mithrollnz: :(07:02
mithroplus the log files07:02
llnzi'm not logging the ai's07:02
llnzhummm.... should cat stdout to /dev/null07:04
mithroI think you will probably want to run with logging until you are sure it's all working07:05
mithrollnz: I can give you a login to my quad core machine if you want07:05
llnzi'll be alright07:06
mithroit has plenty of harddrive space07:06
mithrowould be good if you recorded a starmapper movie too07:07
llnznever managed to get that going :-(07:09

mithrollnz: why can't you get starmapper working?07:26
mithroyou just need to install the sun java thingy07:26
llnzdon't want to07:26
llnzthough soon it should be really easy07:26
mithrogetting some good starmapper movies would be good promotional thing07:28
mithrohello Iwanowitch07:28
IwanowitchHello mithro.07:30
IwanowitchSay, I should get git up.07:30
mithroIwanowitch: how goes things?07:30
Iwanowitchmithro: busy and I think I'm getting sick as well.07:31
IwanowitchThough it's okay for now.07:31
mithroIwanowitch: you finished all your exams and stuff?07:32
Iwanowitchmithro: not quite, but at the moment there's not too much urgent work.07:34
IwanowitchOkay, erm... What part of the repository should the RFTS AI come into? A new project?07:40
llnzunless you are extending an existing code base, start a new repo07:43
mithroIwanowitch: nash is your mentor right?07:54
Iwanowitchmithro: yep07:55
mithroIwanowitch: you'll probably be working pretty closely with me too if you are going to be using the python libraries07:55
mithro~seen xdotx07:55
tpbmithro: xdotx was last seen in #tp 1 day, 1 hour, 25 minutes, and 33 seconds ago: <xdotx> yeah, i was thinking you could pretty much make objects to store anything you need07:55
mithrogreywhind is another person who knows quite a bit about the python libraries07:59
*** AquaFox has joined #tp08:05
IwanowitchHmm, I'm not really up to speed with this git thing... I suppose I should create a new repository locally, then push it to... Where exactly?08:08
mithroIwanowitch: you'll need my help to push a new repository08:10
* llnz stops and restarts the server on the ai's08:14
llnzyay08:15
*** andrei has quit IRC08:16
Iwanowitchmithro: Okay, just to be clear here... My AI will be build on libtpclient-py but apart from that be seperate. That warrants it a new repository, right?08:17
CIA-29llnz tpserver-cpp * r6fec20c8286e /modules/games/minisec/minisecturn.cpp:08:18
CIA-29Fix the handling of dead object in MinisecTurn.08:18
CIA-29Was causing the ai's to error out when they tried to change the orders on08:18
CIA-29the object, which no long existed. Probably fixes the random errors with08:18
CIA-29tpclient-pywx that gave no error message.08:18
llnzIwanowitch: yes08:18
Iwanowitchmithro: So, could we get one up with just a TODO file to get started?08:18
mithroIwanowitch: yes08:20
llnz7 turns, 4.7MB database08:20
llnzmithro: we need to think of a better way to get starmapper data out of the servers sometime08:32
mithrollnz: what do you mean?08:32
llnzwell... you don't really want a guest account that can see everything08:33
Iwanowitchmithro: I have a rtfs-ai directory with a git repository in it and the TODO file commited. Anything else I can do from here?08:34
mithrollnz: observer accounts are pretty normal08:34
mithrofor other games08:34
llnzwith well-known username/password?08:34
mithrollnz: what do you mean? starmapper takes a username/password08:36
llnzhumm... ok08:37
mithrollnz: if we want the metaserver to be able to do starmapping, maybe the server can post with a private account detauls08:38
mithrobut I have to run home now08:38

nashvi1985: With mineral prices these days... you'd be lucky to crush an e-coli un my gold stars20:10
vi1985nash: i wouldn't know, last time I bought something out of gold was years ago. It's cheaper to buy them gifts "with soul" ;)20:14
nashI'm sure PETA would have something to say about that... Unless you are referring to CDs ;-)20:21
vi1985nash: didn't you hear PETA banned cds? for every cd that you buy, you could have adopted a post-experiment lab-rat...20:25
nashWouldn't that drive demand for post-experiment lab rat... meaning demand for more experminents in the first place?20:27
vi1985nash: which would provide a giant a thrust to science, encourage non-fatal experimental measures, and increase general sensitivity in the population as a result of an influx in used-labrat adoption. Looks like a win-win situation for man and rat.20:33
nashIndeed20:33

xdotxllnz: there seems to be a bug with planet's loosing their owner. i don't think it's related to what i just did :P. i can double check, and see if it's an RFTS only thing.21:48
xdotxkk21:48
llnzxdotx: maybe related to population dieing?21:49
xdotxdon't think so. i believe planet still had good stats, and i don't think it's owner goes away when that happens.21:50
llnzit does, i changed it so the owner only gets one message about it21:50
xdotxahh right21:50
mithrogreywhind: I'm sure you can find out where it comes from21:54
greywhindmithro: i'll look around21:54
mithrothe find program is your friend21:54
mithroand so is grep21:54
xdotxllnz: population dies, but then i can still give it orders - even though i'm not the owner21:55
llnzok21:56
llnzmaybe the orderqueue doesn't have a change of owner21:56
xdotxllnz: for a quick fix i can not set any possible orders on a planet w/o an owner21:58
xdotxer, can set the possible orders to 'none'21:58
llnzyes, but better would be to remove the former owner from the orderqueue's owners when the population dies21:59
llnzi suspect there might be a similar problem when a player takes over another player's planet21:59
