[22:01] <+STACKQA> <Pavel`> Are we able to run our own master server for 0.76RC10 after Jagex shuts it down?
[22:02] <@StackOverflow> there are plans for a new master in the pipelines
[22:02] <@StackOverflow> !next
[22:02] <+STACKQA> <BR> what is the future of aos, it seems to be splitting into jagex, classic, build and shoot, iceball, etc.. can we keep everyone together?
[22:03] <@StackOverflow> there are different aspects of the game/community that are being divided up. hopefully thinks will become clearer as things progress. I personally hope bns will be a centralized haven for people to come to
[22:03] <@StackOverflow> !next

[20:23] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <KomradeKorakoff> Will buildandshoot (the community's community) continue to support and host 0.75? Or is it against their legal power?
[20:24] <@danhezee> I am not worried about 0.75 I want to focus on 0.76, since it works better
[20:25] <@danhezee> I dont think there is any legal ramifications for supporting 0.75 though
[20:25] <@danhezee> !next
[20:25] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Fornax> What is the sole purpose of B&S
[20:27] <@danhezee> I want to see the voxlap community survive, I want to see more innovation from community
[20:27] <@danhezee> BnS is going to be a haven for that
[20:27] <@danhezee> !next
[20:27] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Zinger> how will buildnshoot gain members to its community after mainstream aos goes live?
[20:28] <@danhezee> 1.0 is going to restrict some much that the current community is used, I imagine the community is going to help grow BnS simply about talking about things like custom maps and what not
[20:29] <@danhezee> And people are going to search for free AoS and we are the community that supports the free version
[20:29] <@danhezee> !next
[20:29] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <BR> Where do you think the existing community will go? Most of it will probably stop playing, some will stay jagex, some 0.75, some 0.60, some iceball.. Do you think we'll all stay close or will the various offshoots become their own things?
[20:31] <@danhezee> They could become various offshoots which is fine, But overall I think if there is a place for modders scripters and map makers to upload and share their work the will congregate around the community that does it best.
[20:31] <@danhezee> !next
[20:31] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <PXYC> What are your plans for the Voxlap platform? New weapons?

[20:35] <@danhezee> when it is much more of a prototype than the "prototype"
[20:35] <@danhezee> personally I do not like some of the design choices

[20:36] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <CobaltAK> Will 0.76 be updated by B&S staff? And what do you plan for it?

[20:37] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <KomradeKorakoff> What is your personal projection on the community's path, and the actions of Jagex? Could you possibly name (old/former) staff members who are involved in B+S?
[20:39] <@danhezee> Right now it is stack izzy and I acting as the admins and moderators. Later we will add new moderators and as the site grows we may add new admins as well. But we decided early on the only way a member can become staff is unamious agreement between the 3 of us. However we plan to highlight and recognize members of the community that may not hold a title such as moderator
[20:40] <@danhezee> I think it is a win win situation, jagex is success we are success, if jagex fails we are small niche that never died.

[20:47] <@danhezee> music is hompy's, you will have to ask him if he agreed to let jagex use it. 1.0 is based off of mat's work

[20:48] <@danhezee> and later on we could add a subsection if demand was there
[20:48] <@danhezee> there is a lot of control the end user has over their clubs

[20:51] <@danhezee> hmmm
[20:53] <@danhezee> BnS is going to be a haven for voxlap, we hope to make things smoother on our site compared to the old forums. A lot of policies and procedures were created on the old forums because we couldnt get the software we needed to do it better.
[20:55] <@danhezee> a file repo that allows users to easily search and discover new mods and maps is one feature in the pipeline

[20:57] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <KomradeKorakoff> Dan, what are some highlights of your time with AoS thus far, such as how you learned about AoS, how you became staff, etc.
[20:58] <@danhezee> I have been part of AoS since day one
[20:58] <@danhezee> I asked ben if there was any way I could help and admining was definitely needed
[20:59] <@danhezee> back in the day it was stack lexsym and I and we didnt communicate much
[21:00] <@danhezee> but after lexsym got out of control stack and I brought in izzy and tgm and focused heavily on communication
[21:00] <@danhezee> !next
[21:00] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Redneck> why were the old forums shut down ? i dont like it
[21:01] <@danhezee> I can only speculate that they wanted to bury the old way of doing things so they could roll out features like only they run the servers
[21:02] <@danhezee> and instead of you searching the forums for a new skins you buy their DLC pack
[21:02] <@danhezee> !next
[21:02] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <KomradeKorakoff> Will the GBL be supported with B+S? Better yet, are you guys working on anti-hack measures? *looks at StackOverFlow*
[21:03] <@danhezee> yes stack has actually made a gwl, global whitelist script. If you are active on our site you get added to the whitelist
[21:03] <@danhezee> and he has a few other ideas too
[21:03] <@danhezee> !next
[21:03] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Altoids> Do you still keep in touch with Ben, and if so, does he have any regrets leaving the AoS community?
[21:05] <@danhezee> yea I talked to ben recently like as in a few hours ago, I believe he still has contractual obligations that keep him from hanging out with us.

[21:06] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Lobdrop> Do you think the voxlap engine has more to offer graphics-wise? For example more particles, animated skies? Bonus-question: whats the minimum specs needed for BnS (Please say pentium III intergrated graphics).
[21:07] <@danhezee> BnS is a browser based community
[21:08] <@danhezee> better graphics would probably come from a 3rd party client as would animated skins and particles effects

[21:13] <@danhezee> jagex was envolved very early one
[21:13] <@danhezee> on
[21:14] <@danhezee> june 2011
[21:14] <@TheGrandmaster> in terms of a physical "when did Sally arrive" it was very early July this year
[21:15] <@danhezee> they had an office in new york and wanted to appear indie so the made up soca studios, it took them till oct 2011 to do that
[21:15] <@danhezee> and sally showed up in july 2012
[21:16] <@danhezee> If i am not mistaken they wanted the smg, but I'll have to confirm that

[21:16] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <RainbowDash> So, Build and Shoot will support .76 in the future. Are there plans to eventualy drop .76 and move to Grease's project so that all aspects of the game can be controlled?

[21:17] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Altoids> How long will it take until we can play .76?
[21:17] <@danhezee> you can play 0.76 now

[23:27] <@GreaseMonkey> well rootdyn approached me saying it was a bit silly having two things essentially aiming to be the same thing
[23:28] <@GreaseMonkey> the projects are subtly different, he's working on a voxlap-compatible client while i'm rolling my own protocol
[23:28] <@GreaseMonkey> at the moment, there's an intention, but not really a plan.

[23:30] <@GreaseMonkey> infammo/rapidfire/norecoil/multipallet (we're talking 30, 8 is for pussies) on the shotgun

[23:31] <@GreaseMonkey> yeah
[23:31] <@GreaseMonkey> the main engine's in C, all the logic is in Lua

[23:32] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <danhezee> project management questions what are some of your timelines and milestones?
[23:32] <@GreaseMonkey> i don't really have much of a plan other than "try to write at least one thing a day"
[23:32] <@GreaseMonkey> and i know i have stuff to do from this point
[23:33] <@GreaseMonkey> i'll list them
[23:33] <@GreaseMonkey> this is skipping the "we can fix that later" stuff
[23:33] <@GreaseMonkey> - the PMF editor needs to be able to save files
[23:33] <@GreaseMonkey> i think this might be prio #1, so we can actually get people to make assets for this damn thing
[23:33] <@GreaseMonkey> - building crumbling needs to generate PMFs on the fly
[23:34] <@GreaseMonkey> and also do the physics and whatnot
[23:34] <@GreaseMonkey> - networking needs to be put in place
[23:35] <@GreaseMonkey> for the network i will start by using a linked list of "packets", then serialise them, and THEN once that step is in place i can do actual send/recv stuff
[23:35] <@GreaseMonkey> basically what i did for asiekierka's "pixmess"
[23:35] <@GreaseMonkey> !next
[23:35] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Nestoflo> The previous image I showed you, if we added talents face to would you be more physically attracted?

[23:35] <@GreaseMonkey> !next
[23:35] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Serious_Sim> Where can we follow the progress of Iceball?
[23:35] <@GreaseMonkey> probably the best way to do that is to download the code and pull it every now and then
[23:36] <@GreaseMonkey> and git log might give a bit more info though git diff is probably more accurate as i don't write everything in the comments
[23:36] <@GreaseMonkey> and finally, i tend to spew stuff into random channels about what the hell is going on
[23:36] <@GreaseMonkey> !next
[23:36] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Silnius> Do you have atm any difficulty to develop ice ball ? And in what can we help you
[23:37] <@GreaseMonkey> uhh, basically i need assets, notably .pmf models and .wav sounds
[23:37] <@GreaseMonkey> except, yeah, i need to make that editor load/save stuff
[23:37] <@GreaseMonkey> which reminds me, another thing that needs doing is making loading/saving stuff a bit more secure
[23:37] <@GreaseMonkey> !next
[23:37] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Serious_Sim> could you give us a few details about the client you're doing? Language, features, will you make it as close as the voxlap client as possible or will you use this opportunity to add lots of cool stuff in the game?
[23:38] <@GreaseMonkey> using C for the base engine, using Lua for the game logic, moddability is a major requirement
[23:38] <@GreaseMonkey> hoping to have a "classic" set as well as one which might, say, have a few vehicles
[23:38] <@GreaseMonkey> although i'll try not to make that noobish :)

[23:39] <@GreaseMonkey> you can walk around and build and break stuff
[23:39] <@GreaseMonkey> oh yeah that's right ANOTHER thing, you can't shoot anything yet

[23:41] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Silnius> What are .pmf models ? (i ma noob :( )
[23:41] <@GreaseMonkey> see doc/format_pmf.txt for a more accurate description
[23:41] <@GreaseMonkey> basically, it's a list of "bones"
[23:42] <@GreaseMonkey> and each bone has a name and a list of "points" consisting of: position, colour, size
[23:42] <@GreaseMonkey> probably the most accurate way to describe it in "layman's" terms without completely bullshitting people

[23:44] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Silnius> I'm not sure to have understand, will you use voxslap ? Like we will be able to make map in .vxl ?
[23:45] <@GreaseMonkey> i'm not using voxlap, that shit is impossible to compile in a real compiler
[23:45] <@GreaseMonkey> (read, not MSVC++)
[23:45] <@GreaseMonkey> BUT i do have .vxl support
[23:45] <@GreaseMonkey> might roll another format for allowing different sizes and whatnot, but it'll be heavily based on .vxl
[23:46] <@GreaseMonkey> i've experimented with trying to compress AoS maps really well and to be quite frank i can't really consistently beat .vxl without reducing the colour depth

[23:48] <@TheGrandmaster> !next
[23:48] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Silnius> Then all map will be make in .vxl ? Or it will support another format?
[23:50] <@GreaseMonkey> i'm hoping maps will be shifted to the new format i haven't invented yet, but it shouldn't be hard making conversion tools... tbqh you won't even need conversion tools, but it would be nice if tools could support this not-yet-invented format once i "invent" it
[23:50] <@GreaseMonkey> and by "won't need conversion tools" i mean the engine supports .vxl already

[23:57] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Serious_Sim> let me rephrase the question :p When do you plan to launch have a link to an .exe that people can play with?
[23:57] <@GreaseMonkey> there's an amusing bug in AoS which i've confirmed is in 0.60 and 0.75, although it's a blatant edge case
[23:58] <@GreaseMonkey> hopefully once it's an actual game
[23:58] <@GreaseMonkey> tbqh it's actually pretty close to that, i just need assets and networking really

[00:01] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Silnius> What do you think about 1.0 and jagex ? (and what they are doing with the game)
[00:01] <@GreaseMonkey> my understanding is that jagex have basically made a different game
[00:02] <@GreaseMonkey> my main concern is that we, the people who actually knew what made AoS awesome (maybe not me myself, but at least some people here), did not get a say really
[00:02] <@GreaseMonkey> so i actually do not know if 1.0 is going to be a nooby piece of shit
[00:02] <@GreaseMonkey> and i don't trust them to not make it a nooby piece of shit either
[00:02] <@GreaseMonkey> now, arash mentioned that they've "statistically tested" the weapons
[00:03] <@GreaseMonkey> it's nice to know that they're at least making a halfassed effort to get the balance right
[00:03] <@GreaseMonkey> but i seriously wonder how they're testing it
[00:03] <@GreaseMonkey> are they testing probabilities of the gun actually hitting stuff in given situations?
[00:04] <@GreaseMonkey> because a problem is the complete noobs who want to stay noobs go for the SMG because you don't really have to aim the damn thing
[00:04] <@GreaseMonkey> the vets tend to go for the rifle
[00:04] <@GreaseMonkey> and so i fear they're basically going "oh no, the rifle is overpowered"
[00:04] <@GreaseMonkey> i think this was what was happening in the leadup to 0.75
[00:05] <@GreaseMonkey> the spreads used in 0.75 are utterly disgusting, actually
[00:05] <@GreaseMonkey> another interesting thing to note is the screenshots tout the SMG and the RPG
[00:05] <@GreaseMonkey> don't really see any rifles there...
[00:05] <@TheGrandmaster> afaik there is the semi
[00:06] <@GreaseMonkey> yeah but that's not going to attract a young gamer
[00:06] <@GreaseMonkey> "OOH BOOM BOOMY STUFF"
[00:06] <@GreaseMonkey> i'm suprised they're even going for a 13+ rating
[00:06] <@GreaseMonkey> then again, i think the "12-year-olds" so to speak are more like 14,15,16
[00:07] <@GreaseMonkey> most 12yos i've come across are actually quite worth playing with

[00:07] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <KomradeKorakoff> Could you re-clarify what you rather be called for short? GM, Grease, Monkey, cow, ??

[00:07] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Serious_Sim> i just need assets and networking really : can we help ?
[00:07] <@GreaseMonkey> yeah, assets
[00:07] <@GreaseMonkey> hopefully i'll remember to get onto making the PMF editor load/save models
[00:08] <@GreaseMonkey> if you have a build of iceball, you can press F2 for the editor, and there's a doc in the doc/ folder which explains the keys
[00:08] <@GreaseMonkey> it's not as nice as slab6 but it'll do
[00:08] <@GreaseMonkey> though i really should stick in rotation

[00:08] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Serious_Sim> there's an amusing bug in AoS which i've confirmed is in 0.60 and 0.75, although it's a blatant edge case <<< Oh please, tell us about it !
[00:08] <@GreaseMonkey> yeah i forgot to finish what i was saying, sorry
[00:09] <@GreaseMonkey> it's actually most amusing in a 0.60 disassembly
[00:09] <@GreaseMonkey> hopefully there are some programmers here, it looks like this
[00:09] <@GreaseMonkey> mov eax,eax
[00:09] <@GreaseMonkey> mov eax, dword [eax]
[00:09] <@GreaseMonkey> or something like that
[00:09] <@GreaseMonkey> sorry
[00:09] <@GreaseMonkey> the first one is xor eax,eax
[00:09] <@GreaseMonkey> in C this would be:
[00:09] <@GreaseMonkey> int some_value = *(void *)0;
[00:10] <@GreaseMonkey> basically, it tries to access the memory at address 0, which you're not allowed to do
[00:10] <@GreaseMonkey> accessing memory you're not allowed to access is the leading cause of crashes
[00:10] <@GreaseMonkey> but yeah, i dissected it and it's a very weird edge case
[00:10] <@GreaseMonkey> which you cannot replicate with pyspades

[00:14] <@GreaseMonkey> you'll be able to define your own limits, though
[00:15] <@GreaseMonkey> and not quite up to 256 as i might need to use some of those numbers for special things
[00:15] <@GreaseMonkey> e.g. classic minecraft uses the index 255 to refer to the current player

[00:15] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Serious_Sim> Will you buy 1.0 ?
[00:15] <@GreaseMonkey> no
[00:15] <@GreaseMonkey> ok maybe i will if it's actually good
[00:15] <@GreaseMonkey> (jagex, i invite you to steal my ideas)

[00:15] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <DE> what is your opinion on Barack Obama? how can you trust the presidency with a man on welfare?
[00:16] <@GreaseMonkey> i don't really follow american politics

[00:16] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Silnius> What weapon will it be on iceball ? Same as Aos ?
[00:17] <@GreaseMonkey> yeah, i think i'll have SMG and shotgun disabled by default though >:D
[00:17] <@GreaseMonkey> although defaults will probably be 0.60-rebalanced
[00:17] <@GreaseMonkey> except with a shotgun that can actually be aimed
[00:17] <@GreaseMonkey> (yeah that's actually a horrible bug in 0.60 that you can't actually aim it properly)
[00:17] <@GreaseMonkey> (erm, 0.60-p11s)

[00:17] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Serious_Sim> <GreaseMonkey>mov eax, dword [eax] << wow, so that's how you define 'amusing'
[00:18] <@GreaseMonkey> the amusing part is actually the "xor eax,eax" right before it
[00:18] <@GreaseMonkey> there's a label on both lines
[00:18] <@GreaseMonkey> so in most cases it jumps over the "xor eax,eax" but
[00:18] <@GreaseMonkey> *bit
[00:18] <@GreaseMonkey> but yeah

[00:19] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Silnius> what is your favorite map and game mode ?
[00:19] <@GreaseMonkey> currently quite fond of gen and ctf, really
[00:20] <@GreaseMonkey> like, gen is nice. it's fairly boring, but very malleable.
[00:20] <@GreaseMonkey> like, you can actually, um, dig in a gen map

[00:22] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <TheGrandmaster> how far will the AoS remake go - what would be your opinion about possibly following the early era of AoS - no autoclimb, fancy gen maps, but perhaps with larger team sizes?
[00:22] <@GreaseMonkey> this was something i wrote up maybe a week ago: https://gist.github.com/4022780
[00:22] <@GreaseMonkey> oh right
[00:22] <@GreaseMonkey> uh, autoclimb is at this stage an optional feature
[00:22] <@GreaseMonkey> and will remain that way
[00:23] <@GreaseMonkey> although personally i am quite fond of autoclimb as a feature
[00:23] <@GreaseMonkey> it's a pity that when you turn it on it gets a bit buggy
[00:23] <@GreaseMonkey> wrt the fact that you can put your head into the ceiling and whatnot
[00:23] <@GreaseMonkey> !next
[00:23] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Silnius> Do you know and like haxball ? (Also you can say that Serious_sim's map are awesome)
[00:24] <@GreaseMonkey> i know haxball, i'm somewhat indifferent to it and tend to just resort to spelling stuff with the "avatars"
[00:24] <@GreaseMonkey> and i do quite like serious_sim's maps although there's that one map that crops up on BaL
[00:24] <@GreaseMonkey> which takes SO BLOODY LONG TO LOAD
[00:24] <@GreaseMonkey> GRR
[00:24] <@GreaseMonkey> it's the one with all the trees and whatnot
[00:25] <@GreaseMonkey> it would be nice if the leaves were all the same colour, it'd speed it up so much
[00:25] <@GreaseMonkey> but yeah, deck 2 is quite a fun map
[00:25] <@GreaseMonkey> i don't enjoy spawning on the crane though
[00:25] <@GreaseMonkey> !next
[00:25] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Serious_Sim> you hinted a classic as well as a 'not too noobish' new features-mode
[00:26] <@GreaseMonkey> yes, i aim to make classic a "frozen in time" sort of thing
[00:26] <@GreaseMonkey> my inner archivist is adamant that something like this needs to happen
[00:26] <@GreaseMonkey> my inner pragmatist of course wants to also start doing hopefully awesome things
[00:27] <@GreaseMonkey> not sure if i'll resort to looking at disassemblies for accuracy or not, as that's a bit risky in the copyright department
[00:27] <@GreaseMonkey> i think i'll also have a few useful team coordination things as well but hopefully nothing that'll wreck the gameplay
[00:27] <@GreaseMonkey> !next
[00:27] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Serious_Sim> what about players like me who like the .5x era of aos ? I have nothing against a classic mode, but will you be negating all aos evolution past .3 ?
[00:29] <@GreaseMonkey> i started on the last day of 0.52. i'm keen to get all versions covered, although you'll have to link me installers (WHEN I'M READY, of course)
[00:29] <@GreaseMonkey> not keen on emulating the crashes and the network bugs, though
[00:29] <@GreaseMonkey> !next
[00:29] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <KomradeKorakoff> Could you give us recordings of your beatboxing?
[00:30] <@GreaseMonkey> can't really be bothered now, sorry :/
[00:30] <@GreaseMonkey> i can leave you a shitty remix of the SS13 theme though: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32094129/title2gm-tgs13.ogg

[00:30] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Serious_Sim> <GreaseMonkey>which takes SO BLOODY LONG TO LOAD ... But it's so beautiful !
[00:31] <@GreaseMonkey> here, take some time to read this: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1951.txt
[00:31] <@GreaseMonkey> that should give you an idea on how to get stuff compressed properly
[00:32] <@GreaseMonkey> but basically, the fewer unique colours, the better
[00:32] <@GreaseMonkey> !next
[00:32] <@AoS|QuestionBot> <Silnius> When do you think there will be an iceball version with server and multiplayer ?
[00:32] <@GreaseMonkey> When It's Done.
[00:32] <@GreaseMonkey> i imagine a week or two of me getting my ass into gear would result in a playable ver
[00:32] <@GreaseMonkey> although my desktop currently runs it at uhh, let's check the FPS
[00:33] <@GreaseMonkey> argh, can't check it properly over VNC
[00:33] <@GreaseMonkey> but yeah, 5FPS
[00:33] <@GreaseMonkey> my laptop does it much faster
[00:34] <@GreaseMonkey> about 50
[00:34] <@GreaseMonkey> hoping to make that better over time, but yeah, it'll be a bit slow to start off with
