@Arperum hi

@Arperum how ya doin?

Arperum

@spyder I just got out of bed and already received a stupid mail that I have to respond to in a way that makes them think it was not the worst mail in history.

@Arperum stupid mails... Sometimes I do not get any mails for a whole day, and sometimes mails are falling each hour to my two inboxes.

@Blem Maidan?

@spyder title was "Star Wars in Ukraine"

spyder

I think that Ukraine must be divided to two parts – western and eastern.
People of eastern and western regions differ too much for peaceful life.

BREAKING: MASSIVE SUPERCAP BATTLE IN B-R5. The total cost of the destroyed ships estimated at 8 trillion ISK

Q: Are the winter map files still accessible?

Maybe some of you guys remember the winter map from league of legends that was released in 2012 or 2011 (and earlier, but that was an older model). Now I remember searching for special files when it was somehow easier to view the content of the game (around 2011) and I also found some Icons of It...

spyder

8:55 AM

@Blem 8 trillion ISK == 200 000 USD

more or less

Blem

~$244,785.69 USD

the article i saw to day had $284,000

Martin Sojka

@spyder Sounds riveting.

Blem

9:29 AM

I got a 30 day free referral

fredley

@Blem I refuse to play any game with a subscription.

@Blem I mean, I understand that it's to keep the servers running, but the incentives change when making the game to get you hooked in and keep you paying your subscription.

Mad Scientist

@fredley The incentives for F2P games are much worse. Too many of those mostly just annoy the non-paying players until they pay or leave

fredley

@MadScientist I don't play those either!

spyder

@MadScientist I know one good F2P game – WoT

Mad Scientist

I started playing Hearthstone, and the F2P aspect doesn't bother me there. But most F2P games are just terrible in my opinion

Martin Sojka

9:37 AM

PlanetSide 2 is pretty nice as well. The power-ups you get (which aren't all that overpowered; your FPS and MilSim skills are still way more important) are easily and quickly acquired just by playing.

fredley

@spyder tagpro is good F2P

Kevin van der Velden

Q: Counter Strike 1.6 Configurations

Why are User configs so important? I have seen lot of players on lan and general buzz on internet forums too as to what are the most optimal settings for counter strike 1.6. What is the difference between server "rates" and client "rates" ? Why is it so important to ensure all my settings are...

counter-strike framerate

Kevin van der Velden

@spyder because for real money you could buy golden (I think?) ammunition which was waay better than regular ammunition

spyder

9:41 AM

@KevinvanderVelden you can buy golden (HEAT, APCR) ammo for credits too

Kevin van der Velden

@spyder that's new then

3ventic

Free-to-play games where the only thing you can buy are cosmetic things are the best.

spyder

@KevinvanderVelden and APCR and HEAT has some disadvantages (HEAT is weak against armor skirts, APCR loses penetration at long ranges)

Arperum

@3ventic Like Path of Exile.

The only non-cosmetic things you can buy are extra characters and extra storage, and you get ~20+ character slots to begin with. And enough space if you don't start hoarding like a madmen.

Q: What's the formula for merchant price?

Usually, merchants do not sell things at the price that you buy them. How are these inflated prices calculated?

skyrim

Kevin van der Velden

9:47 AM

@Arperum wait wait wait, you can play games and not hoard everything ever?

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden Some people can do that. I can't.

I've never been able to sell anything from "unique" quality or the like. Except in Sacred 2 I ended up selling a couple really crappy low level unique rings because I owned them 10+ times.

Kevin van der Velden

Aah, always fun, "Unique" items you have duplicates off

Arperum

And due to some bug in the game they kept dropping like nothing with every new character you made... It was basically Make new char -> do a couple quests ->goddammit, more of this stupid rings.

spyder

Arperum

Because you'd normally get a set item every so often you completed a quest, but the frequency was way too high, even after they tuned it down a lot. And before lvl 15 there were no set items, so it dropped random uniques, and the list of really low level uniques was pretty much limited to a couple stupid rings.

@spyder Do want.

@KevinvanderVelden Hoarding in a game with a carry weight limit is the worst. I usually end up armed to the teeth but slow as a snail.

@5pike Welcome to the club. I've learned to throw the stuff worth least out in skyrim.

3ventic

Martin Sojka

@5pike ... and that's why when I play Oblivion with any character, I make it a point to get Umbra ASAP (so around level 2 or 3). Weightless end-game sword with near the maximum damage of any melee weapon which can steal souls? Yes, please.

@Arperum Never had much problem with TES games (regarding the weight limit), but as soon as there are guns - my inventory is full with at least one of each.

10:38 AM

@spyder oh my god, that lambda example looks awful.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp it's C++11, just be happy it has lambdas =p

badp

@KevinvanderVelden The second line also makes me cringe.

What is the end pointer for?

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden I won't be happy until they have closures.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp it loops through the iterable v and counts how many fit the lambda (i.e. how many values are 42)

badp

@KevinvanderVelden Yes, but what is the end pointer for?

Why do you need an end point to iterate over v?

Martin Sojka

10:42 AM

@badp So count_if knows when to stop.

Kevin van der Velden

@badp cause C++ std iterators require a stop point

What @MartinSojka said

badp

@KevinvanderVelden Why?!

Kevin van der Velden

@badp it has advantages (you can also stop partway through a iterable) but I don't know why there isn't an implicit end argument

Matt Эллен

@badp start counting. tell me when you run out of numbers

badp

@MattЭллен Hah, what if I want to do that?

Kevin van der Velden

10:43 AM

@badp then you give it an end point that doesn't end

Matt Эллен

@badp ... I don't know

Kevin van der Velden

a basic loop is for ( it = start; it != end; it++ ) If end never equals it then your golden

Martin Sojka

@badp Then you picked the wrong language. Try something like R.

badp

@KevinvanderVelden but why doesn't a self-respecting iterator interface have a builtin way to say "okay I am done emitting values"?!

Kevin van der Velden

@badp because it's templating magic and not a build in feature of the language (it's a builtin feature of the standard library though)

Arperum

10:46 AM

@badp Maybe because he has no self respect?

badp

Why would unsorted data structures like hashtables even have a .begin or .end members?

bah, nevermind me.

@MartinSojka no, we don't support that there

Yeah, the reading the log is something GDSE could do, but it's still off topic

TZHX

reading the log is something the user should do.

Martin Sojka

@KevinvanderVelden Mod development is GameDev.SE territory, so technical questions like "How can I add a new horse armour?" would be still there.

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka uuh yeah, but I don't see that falling under the category technical support question

I see that falling under the category... mod dev question

Martin Sojka

(The answer is "By throwing away Minecraft's horse code and making your own", by the way)

TZHX

And rather than horses, make them ponies. With magic and wings.

Martin Sojka

Most of technical support that people need for Minecraft that I see deals with mods and their incompatibilities and how to make Minecraft do stuff (granted, I might be hanging out too much in #minecraftforge and #mcp on IRC ...)

Kevin van der Velden

@MartinSojka well jeah, it's mojang. That's the answer to anything modding related in minecraft

Cause hardcoding is fun y'all!

And it's not like there is a giant modding community for this tiny game that sold 5 and a half copies

TZHX

if you're making a game, I think hardcoding stuff could make sense for efficiency. I think for a lot of people, though, minecraft isn't the game that mojang make.

Kevin van der Velden

1:20 PM

@TZHX hardcoding is more efficient than datadriven code. However this is not performance oriented code, this is equipping horse armor, setting the model variable and increasing the health. Efficiency is not a concern in here while maintainability and dependability is.

So the only reason to hardcode this (IMO) is if you are creating a prototype, not for the actual proper release code!

TZHX

indeed.

badp

@TZHX If variable dereferenciation costs worry you, you are probably worrying about the wrong thing. Unless profiling tells you otherwise!

TZHX

It's more time-consuming to design and implement something to be extensible, than to write something once and not worry about it again.

badp

@TZHX That's not what I think when I think "hardcoded"
