I sense this is going to be a project I undertake in the nearish future
 
boo
@kalina Is there anything else besides sat nav this is useful for?
 
@boo wireless synchronisation of music from my pc, inside the house, by parking the car up outside and having it automatically connecting to my home wifi network
videos while driving
 
boo
@kalina Sounds safe
 
I would likely use an android tablet though

Q: Can I shoot through teammates, enemies or civilians?

galacticninjaThere are instances where a teammate could be blocking an enemy in your line of fire. I was wondering if shot bullets / projectiles can pass through teammates and hit enemies on the other side. If yes, how does the projectile penetration work? Will the impact on the first enemy hit by the projec...

 
@boo when I had a dvd player in my last car
 
@boo TES: Arena remake?
 
@kalina sounds like a fun project
 
boo
@MartinSojka 55kb of js, that's all I know
bloody impressive
 
@KevinvanderVelden I have most of my old car audio stuff in boxes
speakers, amplifiers, capacitors, subs, etc
just need something to provide the signal
 
12:07 PM
@kalina raspberry pi?
 
@KevinvanderVelden I don't see how a raspberry pi will do a better job than a tablet
 
@kalina USB out ports mostly
 
boo
@kalina It's <10% of the price
 
Or well, host ports.
 
12:08 PM
@boo and yet still requires a separate purchase of a touchscreen for input
I wish you guys would think things through
 
boo
Nah, interface directly with steering wheel controls, provide hud
 
touchscreen or go back to the 90s
 
boo
@kalina touchscreens are not good interfaces to use while driving, they are not tactile.
 
as somebody who had a touchscreen based alpine dvd unit in my last car
I'm going to disagree based on past experiences
 
boo
@kalina Just because you can use it doesn't mean it's good
 
12:11 PM
I'm fine with a touch screen while driving ... a transparent one, to the left of the steering wheel and at about eye height.
 
A tablet is a damn bit easier to set up than a pi.
 
boo
Less fun though
 
both projects would cost about the same by the time you'd completed them
 
boo
@MartinSojka Voice control is pretty good in the context of a car where there's relatively little interference
 
tablet would be easier both to execute and to make look nice

A: Can I shoot through teammates, enemies or civilians?

3venticYou cannot shoot through most of the map objects other players enemies civilians You can shoot through glass AI companions Bullets stop at the first thing you cannot shoot through.

Is this right?
I'm pretty sure it is but I doubt myself a bit
 
I duno, I had a look at the question too
 
What, no weapons powerful enough to shoot right through civilians in this game? :D
 
I don't think PD2 models penetration
 
It doesn't need to model it, really. :)
 
I think you're correct at "bullet stops at first collision"
 
12:16 PM
I know for sure that you can't shoot through players, but can through AI teammates
 
@boo ooh shiny
 
@boo Very impressive FPS for what it does.
 
car charger and spiderpodium bought for my phone
\o/
 
@MartinSojka long live GPUs eh =p
 
12:22 PM
I'm on a laptop .... :)
 
@boo Why isn't this in your game?
 
Intel HD Graphics 4000 integrated graphic card ... that thing's barely capable of OpenGL.
(I'm not even sure which version)
 
boo
@Arperum Shut up, you make a game
 
@MartinSojka I'm on some random crappy GPU on a work PC, it gets 15 fps or so =p
 
I'm bored
 
boo
12:26 PM
@kalina And this is why pi based solutions are better
 
@kalina I've a car mount and charger for my phone. Last time I used it was 15 months ago.
 
boo
You could be knee-deep in unix by now!
 
@boo no
@boo NO
I am going to use a Microsoft Surface Pro 2
and integrate it into my car
 
boo
Overkill much?
 
you call it overkill
I call it payday 2 while in traffic
 
boo
12:27 PM
@kalina This sounds like the worst idea ever
 
Usage will plummet after a while.
 
@kalina this seems like the best idea ever, if you're looking to get someone killed
 
@boo sounds like jealousy
 
boo
@kalina I have a handlebar mount for my phone, but you don't see me playing Angry Birds while zipping between buses
 
@boo traffic as in "stand still"
 
boo
12:29 PM
@kalina How bad is the traffic that you can get more than 60 seconds of play time at a time?
 
irrelevant
steering wheel mounted W A S D and trackpad
definitely the way forward
 
@kalina into a coffin, yes.
 
it means I could play need for speed while playing need for speed
 
boo
> Carmageddon is the original freeform driving sensation, where pedestrians (and cows!) equal points, and your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of automotive killing machines. The game features anarchic drive-wherever-you-like gameplay and over-the-top surreal comedy violence. It’s the racing game where racing is for wimps.
 
I know, I have it for my phone
I'm still bored
 
boo
12:38 PM
@kalina Play carmageddon
 
no, it's boring
 
@kalina Car hunt already done?
 
@5pike I'm bored of it
 
12:52 PM
Yes, StoryNexus is finally making the Journal somewhat usable!
Hooray!
 
The whole instance updating thing feels a bit forced, but at least they're trying some new stuff with Journal entries.
@kalina But how hard will it be to add into my existing workflow?
 
I suspect it will be completely seamless
Didn't you read the blurb?
 
@kalina Ah yes how could I have missed it.
@kalina This is quite beautiful.
 
@RedRiderX shouldn't be that hard, they've got a NPM package and everything! github.com/eleks/js2js/releases
 
1:02 PM
It hits on pretty much every trend in front end dev.
@KevinvanderVelden But I build my projects in Ruby!
 
@RedRiderX well there's your problem!
 
@KevinvanderVelden Hah.
Wow Chrome finally went back to favouring it's old app page.

Q: Are "Is there an example for game where you can..." questions are on-topic?

CalmariusI develop games in my free time for fun. But I find it quite demotivating when I find that the idea I thought to be original already implemented years and decades ago. Even if I cannot find an example by searching the web. So it's not worth making a yet another one, because it would be the same ...

 
"and now the world has been lit up"
 
1:18 PM
@RedRiderX wow
 
Yay, the internet died this morning, now my IP has suddenly changed I don't have access to our DB-server anymore...
 
Suddenly have the urge to list my house for $5mil
 
 
@Sterno Do you live in Vancouver and/or a crack house?
 
No
 
1:30 PM
Well I think you're out of luck then.
 
But unless those houses sold for that price instead of just being listed at that price, it's not all that special.
 
@Sterno The Vancouver housing market has been rather, volatile, in recent years.
 
boo
@RedRiderX Love this site

Q: How come my trash isn't being taken out?

EnderI have an complex and extensive AE system set up. In this system, I have two barrels (of cobblestone) connected to my AE network via storage buses. These buses are set at a priority level of 64. MY AE Drive is set at priority level 1. This setup tells my network to store cobblestone first in the...

ZerofennecI'm resurrecting my server after many months of crunch time. I haven't updated it since the 1.6.2 patch. I've read that there are many changes to the world generation code; new biomes, larger biomes, and smaller oceans. I have a seed that I like and I wanted to generate a new world using it. How...

@Sterno FREE SHIPPING? SOLD!!
 
boo
Wow, the view from the top is amazing:
 
@Sterno those asshole resellers are going to be so pissed if Sony makes good on it's promise of meeting holiday demand
 
@boo then the losing team reaches 10 tickets and it collapses just as you reach the top to knife the half-dozen enemy snipers hanging out at the top
 
@BenBrocka Worst case scenario, they only make a little money instead of OBSCENE money
 
@BenBrocka Newegg notified me the other day they had new stock in and then proceeded to tell me I'd have to buy it with a bundle of $300 worth of other crap I didn't want.
Part of the bundle was FIFA and Madden, so I think maybe they got it confused with the Xbox One.
 
2:58 PM
@tombull89 I just shoot them down with rockets.
 
@TimStone weird
 
I'm still a little annoyed that I dropped the ball on pre-ordering it. Not that I need it and the Xbox One right now on account of the baby, but.
 
@boo That actually looks fun to climb.
Not even all that hard.
 
@fbueckert guys just making it look easy, he's had enough practice from the infinitely tall tower
I found gnomeslice!
 
3:15 PM
@KevinvanderVelden Where, when and how?
 
He's on the DMZ chat, 15 minutes ago
in The DMZ, 15 mins ago, by GnomeSlice
http://music.monstercat.com/album/monstercat-015-outlook
 
@fbueckert I think the "hard" part is "OMG WTF AM I DOING THIS HIGH WHY HAVE I MADE THESE CHOICES IN LIFE AHHHHH"
 
@Sterno also resisting the urge to basejump of of it when you're at the top.
 
My kitten is having issues figuring out what the litter box is for.
 
@fbueckert it's for napping in right?
 
3:21 PM
@fbueckert D'awwwwwwww
 
@fbuckert This is a perfectly on topic question. Stop complaining and just stay away instead of throwing a bitch fit. Problem solved. — John Doe Santa 30 secs ago
Flags, please.

@KevinvanderVelden As in, "What is this shit? Why do you keep putting me in here? Isn't my basket for my bathroom needs?"
 
@fbueckert well if there's shit in the litterbox he's using it alright.
 
@KevinvanderVelden She's not; that's the problem.
 
I'm glad I got Parker already litter trained
 
@fbueckert Mhh... watch him/her closely. If he's acting like he is going to pee/pop, grab him and put him in the litterbox.
 
3:25 PM
@5pike Been trying. She's peed her basket twice. Think I got that licked, but I just found poop on the blanket in my guest bedroom.
 
@fbueckert Yeah, it can take a while. Just don't give up.
 
I'm glad we have a garden. If we ever get a housecat, he'll get to use that, like the other strays and semi-strays in the neighbourhood.
 
Some cats learn faster then others.
 
@BenBrocka Technically, Bela is litter trained; problem is, I'm using a different type of litter, so she's not sure what it's for.
 
The deaf cat I have learned it in 2 days. We were freaking amazed.
 
3:27 PM
@fbueckert try mixing some of her old litter with some of the new and slowly remove old litter type?
 
And this is how things are handled here: Don't like a comment, get others to stomp down on the bad stupid new users and get it deleted: i.imgur.com/VGF3TiA.png The censorship is strong with this one. And I say it again: Stay away from the question if you cannot answer it instead of harassing people. THIS QUESTION IS ON TOPIC. — John Doe Santa 1 min ago
Flags please!

@FEichinger Also gone.
 
contract of employment has arrived

time to go back to sleep
 
@fbueckert I hope Bela isn't trained to hang out with vampires or werewolves
 
boo
@kalina That was quick
 
3:30 PM
@boo I am highly employable
 
@kalina Great!:D
 
So, we actually have power at my home again. Was only out for 56 hours, 17 minutes
 
boo
@kalina Especially as now you're a coder
 
@boo no
I'm also exceptionally good at interviews
 
This is like playing whack-a-mole
@FEichinger Not sure that one was flag worthy
 
3:31 PM
my interview clothes grant +255 bullshitting and +255 charisma
 
@Sterno gnomeslice is alive sterno!
 
boo
@kalina Too bad, you accepted a job that requires coding
 
Oh, I didn't realize the image was the flagged comment. I retract my statement.
 
boo
Regardless of charisma, or other stats, you are a coder
Fail
 
@KevinvanderVelden I know. I see him on Steam.
 
3:32 PM
@boo can't be, that high a charisma negates your coder status
@Sterno also he's on chat right now, just not in this room
 
boo
@KevinvanderVelden You can only get charisma that high as a coder with enchanted artifacts
Someone care to precis the latest chapter of Bridge:GnomeSlice for me?
 
@Sterno I dunno; I didn't even flag it, but from what I saw in my inbox, yeah, I would've flagged it.
 
@Sterno I not-constructive'd it, "Stay away from the question if you cannot answer it instead of harassing people." and "The censorship is strong with this one." + calling out "censorship" with a screenshot? Bad practice.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I know. I've been trying to work on something witty to say about The DMZ being more welcoming than us, but nothing has come to mind.
 
FWIW, I'm not sure if it really is off-topic. But that's not how to go about arguing that, period.
 
3:34 PM
@boo I believe it's this:

GnomeSlice doesn't understand NSFW

Nov 15 at 16:39, 14 minutes total – 53 messages, 10 users, 0 stars

Bookmarked Nov 15 at 17:37 by OrigamiRobot

 
@FEichinger I don't think it's off-topic. I think it's too broad.
If he wants to limit it to a single game, I think we might have something useful.
 
No, it's not that.
 
@boo no
 
@Sterno Well, they don't have any military installations there.
 
@fbueckert Meh. Depends. There's only so many ways to represent the data the user's looking for ... It could be a rather short list.
 
3:36 PM
@Sterno We could just resort to Plan B and pilot the Bridge into the DMZ with lazers firing, they won't see that coming.
 
boo
@kalina yes
 
@boo no
 
@OrigamiRobot made a comment that was pretty tame but @gnomeslice didn't like it, and asked that a mod unstar it. None did, not immediately, anyway. Then he threatened to throw a tantrum (his words) since that had worked in a past to get the stars removed. Things escalated, mods unstarred, people restarred, mods unstarred again, etc.
Basically, everyone was in a bad mood and not nice to each other, so he took a self-imposed break.
 
I just think it may not really be our forté.
 
boo
@kalina yes
 
3:37 PM
@boo no
@FEichinger it isn't
@FEichinger that question falls foul of rule #1: "Problem you're experiencing in a game"
Whether it stays open or not, I don't really care
 
@kalina And I really don't like that rule.
 
Either my kitten is shivering, or doing some subsonic purring.
2
 
throwing a tantrum and claiming censorship because a comment where you insulted people got deleted is super annoying though
@fbueckert dubstep cat
 
boo
@kalina yes
 
That rule is being twisted to argue against a lot of things (it comes up almost every time lore is discussed, for instance).
 
3:38 PM
@FEichinger your argument is not a problem you're experiencing in a game
@boo no
 
boo
@kalina ...
@kalina ....
 
@kalina This is an often quoted rule that isn't a rule.
 
boo
@kalina ...........yes
 
How many different dramas are happening right now?
 
@kalina My argument? No.
 
boo
3:39 PM
@kalina QUESTIONS ABOUT GAMES ARE OFF-TOPIC
 
@OrigamiRobot Just one
 
@FEichinger your face? No
 
Darn
 
@boo your face is off topic
 
@OrigamiRobot I think it may be two or three. Depending on whether or not you call @freAGRFSJHAGDHSGABJDHSBXHCJ and @kalina's yes/no nonsense drama.
 
3:39 PM
@OrigamiRobot your drama is off topic
 
boo
@kalina Your topic is face-off.
 
@kalina No, your face!
 
@boo your life is off topic
 
FWIW, I think the cheat engine question is fine.
 
@FEichinger your mother
 
3:40 PM
@OrigamiRobot abs(hourOfDayUTC - (numberofPeoplePresent * GnomeSlice))
 
boo
@kalina 'extra-curricular' thank you
 
Wait, did I put * GnomeSlice in the wrong spot?
 
boo
@Powerlord Does the numerical value of GnomeSlice change?
If so, can GnomeSlice be expressed using other terms?
 
@OrigamiRobot now you've said this, we have to close it on account of you thinking it's fine
2
 
@kalina I think that's fine too.
 
3:42 PM
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. If he were in chat I'd point out to him that despite his comments getting removed (because they're rude), the question remains open. That seems like the best possible proof that it's not just people trying to silence the opposition.
In fact, I think it only picked up one extra close vote since all the extra eyes hit it.
 
seriously though, I'm going back to sleep
I don't feel well
 
@kalina Anything I could retort with would get me flagged. So, you win.
 
I can't even do unemployed properly
 
@kalina \o
@Sterno He's clearly reading the transcript.
 
which part of "remain unemployed until the new year" results in getting accepted for the first job I applied for

Q: Poison damage in RuneScape 3

Q: Heal Other Spell in Runescape 3

user61635In the new combat style of RuneScape 3, what is the percent of health you can give a player when casting the Heal other Spell? Is it a 1-1 (the amount of damage you take you heal your friend) or does it calculate on just percentage (75% of lost life is 75% gained life for your friend)?

 
@kalina The part where Screw you, stop whining about having it so easy!
 
@kalina That's OK, I did your share for you in the mid-2000s.
 
Pointless arguing with you guys. You are too thick. I have requested deletion of my account. There is no place for new users on this site. This question is on topic, but go ahead. You apparently don't like having content here, so I am gonna stop providing it. — John Doe Santa 2 mins ago
 
NOTE TO SELF
 
boo
@badp ONCE AND FOR ALL
 
3:46 PM
@badp Note to self is my schtick!
 
@FEichinger what an ass-hat
 
@kalina Now, now, you just explained that we don't tolerate name-calling here.
 
It's not name calling, it's observational field notes
 
@kalina I am not threatening, mail is out. Think what you want. I don't care. It is my opinion. You don't like it? Fine, go roll on the floor and start screaming. My life will go on without stack exchange. — John Doe Santa 39 secs ago
 
@FEichinger she's just admiring his hat shaped like an ass! It's probably a rare drop from TF2
 
3:48 PM
At this point, I think it's safe to assume that anyone who cares about that question will be reading the comments there, and we probably don't need to keep posting them in chat.
 
@KevinvanderVelden ... Yeh ... no.
 
Who is supposed to be rolling on the floor here?
 
@FEichinger aah, donkey hat?
 
@Sterno They're likely to get flagged and deleted, and with the people involved in the discussion, keeping them recorded is not a terrible idea.
 
@Sterno This is very true. The situation is already heated - no point in making it more so. People do read the chat transcript.
 
3:49 PM
Nevermind, it's locked now and thus irrelevant.
 
@OrigamiRobot It probably hasn't been swept in ages, I'd advise against it for whoever is planning said floor-rolling.
 
@OrigamiRobot I think the question is "Who is rolling on the floor"
 
@FEichinger Why is it important to keep them recorded?
 
@JasonBerkan That is actually what started the whole thing in the first place.
 
@badp since the user isn't going to be around to accept any answers on that question, you should delete it once the user account deletion has been actioned

Q: Communications level is not appearing?

Dan Đĵď DeLongAfter building 4 Imperial levels, Darth Vader asks me to build a communications level. I have built 3 more Imperial levels (Extending Bridge, Turbolaser, and Detention Level), but the Communications level isn't appearing. How can I get the Communications level to appear?

 
I don't think this is a bad case of it but in the past these things have often turned into "Hahaha, look at this dumb user" things when we keep talking about them in chat. I'd rather just avoid that.
 
Oh my.
 
@RedRiderX Welp, that's awkward.
 
@kalina Without a flag I'm probably going to forget aboutthis
 
3:51 PM
@Sterno Context.
 
@kalina Since when do we delete questions for that?
 
@Sterno explain to me what the point of keeping a locked question with no account associated with it as the asker?
 
@kalina I assumed the lock was temporary.
 
3:52 PM
Ok, back to video games. Daily drama achieved without trying.
 
@kalina Well, we keep your face around!
buuuuuuurn
 
But as far as "no one around to accept an answer", that never stops us.
 
@OrigamiRobot immune to burns
 
Why do people always go all nuts with account deletion rather than simply NOT COMING ANYMORE?
eyeballs @kalina
3
 
@Sterno Because it sets a message?
 
3:54 PM
@Sterno hey at least when my account was deleted all of my votes weren't undone
otherwise there would have been a mass exodus of reputation
and delicious tears EVERYWHERE
 
@5pike This
 
@kalina Admit it, you were hoping it would happen.
 
It would be interesting to figure out why these things always escalate so rapidly.
 
@FEichinger yes
if I had known my votes weren't going to be undone, I wouldn't have bothered deleting
 
@kalina ... Well, that was easier than I thought.
 
3:55 PM
@Powerlord I am not sure which message, though.
 
that is obviously the reason
 
Umm.
Is https://reddit.com raising any flags for anybody here?
 
@5pike If these people actually didn't come back anymore, I'd agree. But these are the people that are back with a new account within a week.
 
@kalina Weird, did that change that? Because it used to be account deletion would remove votes and rep
@RedRiderX Raise flags how?
 
@RedRiderX Yes, certificate timed out, if I'm not mistaken.
 
3:57 PM
@Powerlord for casual users, account deletion will remove votes
for users who've voted 1000+ times, they don't remove the votes
because it would cause tears
 
@FEichinger I was worried something was bad at my end.
 
@kalina Except it did for MarkTrapp...
 
@RedRiderX Just connect via http.
 
@FEichinger I did.
 
@Powerlord I already mentioned casual users
 
3:58 PM
Wait.
> You attempted to reach reddit.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as a248.e.akamai.net.
 
hides
 
Is this bad?
 
@RedRiderX Didn't think Reddit used akamai...
 
@Sterno Because they are incapable of simply not coming anymore.
 
...
 
3:58 PM
Actually, I didn't think Reddit used https either
 
Really?
 
@Powerlord That's part of why they preserve the votes for heavy hitters now, I believe.
 
boo
@Powerlord The point at which your votes are not removed is called the Mark Trapp Threshold for a reason
 
Oh.
I guess not.
 
@Powerlord Ironically, he tried to leave without making a big fuss.
 
3:59 PM
Yeesh, TortoiseHg is really slow at cloning certain kinds of repos
