tansellalanp, not really00:35
tansellalanp, so you have an economy now?00:35
tansellyou can build ships?00:35
alanpyeah00:35
tansellyou can build torpedos and load/unload them?00:35
alanpso far so good, but they only load as resources00:35
alanpyou can get the properties from the associated design i guess00:35
alanpfor combat purposes00:36
tansellalanp, hrm?00:36
alanpyou create a missile design00:36
tansellproperties from the associated design?00:36
alanpwell00:36
alanpsorry, i meant component from the associated design00:37
alanp1 sec00:37
alanpyou load a resoure of "missile of design X"00:37
alanp1) build new missile design00:37
alanp2) in "build weapon" a new resource type is created00:38
alanp3) planet shows "I have one resource of 'alanp missile'"00:38
alanp4) load missile resource onto ship00:38
alanpprobably more clear explaining it like that00:38

tansellalanp, can you unload the weapons to another planet?00:42
alanpi haven't created that order yet, but it wont be a problem at all00:43
alanpie: i can have it done tonight00:43
alanpshould be pretty simple, just a removeResource and addResource00:43
alanpcombined with populating a list00:43
tanselland it works even if you build two types of missiles in the same class?00:48
alanpin the same order? or two of the same missiles?00:48
alanpi can build 20 "alanp missiles" in one order00:48

chereztansell: Ping?02:15
tansellcherez, pong02:15
chereztansell: Because xstruct is a property and you can't access a property of a class, only an instance, you can't get the xstruct of a Packet unless you have an instance of it already.02:17
cherezThat... seems like a bad design to me.02:18
tansell?02:18
cherezPacket's have an xstruct property that returns their xstruct format string.02:18
tansellyes02:19
cherezBut because it's a property, you have to have an instance of the Packet to access it.02:19
tansellwhich is entirely determined by the Packet's class02:19
tansellyou want a class property02:19
cherezIs there such a thing?02:20
tansellsure02:20
tansellclasses are instances of a class too :)02:21
tansellso you can either use a metaclass02:21
tansellor you can just use @classmethod and @property02:21
tansell(but they are a bit tricky to get working correctly together)02:22
cherezI was trying the latter, but Packet already has a metaclass.02:22
cherezNo idea how that slipped my mind.02:22
tansellso just move the function to the metaclass?02:22
cherezThat's the idea.02:22
tansellbut?02:23
cherezOh, I mean that I'm implementing it now that you reminded me of the metaclass.02:24
cherezAlright, that works.02:25
cherezThanks for setting my brain back on track.02:25

matthewdtote: Do you think it would be a good idea to spend some time breaking down what needs to be done, into 1-2 day chunks?07:06

llnzlater all07:12
*** llnz has quit IRC07:14
totematthewd: maybe, but not sure how to make chunks from: webclient should be able to send orders07:18
totematthewd: basiclly what i can do is work with sending orders and posting a blog post every other day or something07:19
matthewdWell, presumably a good portion of the effort will be in interfacing it, so we could look at sub-goals of getting an interface to send a move order; getting that to actually define the order; loading existing orders; and finally, the generic order-type handling.07:20
totehmm sounds good, not really sure that i can work that way, when i start to write something i tend to follow a path until something works :)07:28

epyonllnz: could you tell me more about ObjectView setGone/isGone, and how to... get rid of it? :>19:23
llnzObjectView::isGone is used to tell when the object has "gone away" and is no longer visible19:25
epyonwhy is it needed?19:25
llnzbecause, the id and timestamp are needed in the ObjectIdsList frame, but when the Object itself is requested, it should return a isGone fail frame19:27
llnziirc19:27
epyoncould you double check? I'm having a problem with it, because no other view needs it19:28

epyonBTW, why doesn't tpserver-cpp use libtpproto-cpp??19:36
llnzbecause libtpproto-cpp is a client side library,19:36
llnzit's like libtpproto-cpp and libtpclient-cpp rolled into one19:36
epyonhmm, shouldn't there be a protocol library for use of both client and server? It would drastically ease the development...19:39
llnzto answer your earlier question, you could remove "&& !(obj->isGone())", but the clients will be slightly less efficient19:39
epyonllnz: can I, can I? It would be a BIG plus for readability...19:39
llnzepyon: well, libtpproto-cpp only allows one connection, and only implements the client end of the protocol (ie, it can't pack an OK frame, for example)19:40
llnzsure19:41
llnzyou could look at breaking that part out into it's own function, specialised from ObjectViews19:42
epyonoh, BTW of frames -- I'd suggest spliting the Frame class into at least InputFrame and OutputFrame. Not only will it make the code look a lot nicer, but it will make coding a lot safer and less error prone19:42
llnzs/from/for/19:42
epyonIn the long run, it would be great to split the frame class into transparent frame type classes, so there's a level of abstraction of the protocol19:43
* llnz goes back to beating his head again CInternetException and other afxinet fun (not)19:43
llnzepyon: have a look at the libaray documentation:19:44
llnzhttp://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/dev/documents/libtpproto-cpp/html/19:44
tpb<http://ln-s.net/34uA> (at www.thousandparsec.net)19:44
epyonExceptions are a big must. All frame errors should throw exceptions -- now the bool return values are mostly ignored, so a bad frame might blow the server up19:44
llnzi'm at working, stupid MS AFXInet, says its throwing an exception, but I can't catch it19:45
epyonAh :>19:46
llnzi hate MSVC19:46
epyonSorry, assumed you were talking about TP :>19:46
llnznope19:46
epyonllnz: I don't but it's a matter of taste I guess19:46
epyonYeah, TPProto::FrameFactory would be right at home in tpserver19:47
llnztpserver-cpp is older than libtpproto-cpp by 3 years, iirc19:48
epyonI guessed so19:49
