I know they say not to hard-code thing, but I'm pretty sure they meant to use a constant, not an external config file.
I was going to test TF2 menu integration into SourceMod proper, but these hoops I have to jump through are irritating.
Hmm, TF2 should use an America's Army approach to training for F2Players.
Like, you'd have to unlock classes to play them.
So I joined a friend on some language where they were speaking kurwa
I guess that's polish, just with 100× as many bitching.
...and they featured the best pyros ever.
If you're playing spy on the opposite team I mean.
What usually happens: a pyro randomly checks me, puts me on fire, I feign death, I get on fire again, I am pursued til my death
What kept happening: a pyro randomly checks me, puts me on fire, I feign death, I get on fire again, I pick up a health and ammo kit, I get away, I pick up more ammo, get on the point, lose disguise and cap the point. By myself.
Yeah, 5gorge isn't a great map.
Oh yeah, I had something I found amusing happen yesterday. I was playing offensive Engy on Badwater. I had headed back to spawn to get more metal... I left my spawn at the same time as a Demoman, who charged ahead. A Spy decloaked behind him, and I one-shot the Spy with my (crit) Frontier Justice. The guy said "thanks" and some ramdom guy on the server said "you're welcome" back.
Saved you some typing.
Yeah, I didn't have my headset on.
I haven't volume checked it on my laptop.
Luckily, my desktop shipped today, but who knows how many days shipping will take.
21:15
over nine thousand
6 to 8 weeks.
Blah, I think I merged some elements of my vote handler class in the wrong direction.
I merged them to the global level, when I needed to merge them into the object.
Long story short: my code won't update the vote counts on screen.
Also, I don't know wtf the SourceMod code is doing with menus. It, like, runs two different timers for votes. One is the real countdown thing, the other just updates the display.
(one is repeating, the other isn't)
Better yet, I can't actually find the code for the real timer, only the update timer. :/
Personally, I would just use one timer, and make it only repeat X times, since that timer is ticking once per second anyway.
Anyway, going home time is soon.
@Powerlord You're rambling again old man.
damn they nerfed Twitsed fate!
21:34
@Mvy Did they nerf the name as well?
hm
21:52
Someone know the total distance of the 5v5 map in LoL?
@Mvy 5500 is about enough to go from one lane to the next. Maybe.
not at the longest parts
Hence the "Maybe"
can't go from mid-top to mid-mid

Q: Map measurements

M'vyRecently, the range of the Gate ability of Twisted Fate has been reduced from Global Range to 5500 units. The problem is, you can't possibly measure your range before activating the Destiny skill. Do someone know about the different measure of the 5v5 map? Of course I could learn play to play ...

So what I don't really get about our site is how our traffic remains consistently much higher than every other non-trilogy SE site except for Ask Ubuntu and yet we have half as many questions per day as a lot of them.
I guess people google questions about games more often than they do about math or Apple?
but in that case if we could get people to ask more questions, we would hopefully be able to get a massive amount of traffic
@Mana Well duh, how often do you ask yourself which integers are the areas of squares with vertices in the 3d integer lattice?
@Arda shrug I'm more a gamer than a methmetician, so I figured different people in different domains might show more interest in asking those types of questions
@Mana Gaming's domain is far bigger than that of Math though.
I guess the main thing I find weird is that aside from a spike or a drop in activity here and there, the amount of activity going on in the feed remains pretty static.
It always ends up balancing out so that the last few questions are around 23h to 1day ago
whereas like say Math.SE has usually feeds that end 6h ago due to the amount of activity
so I guess what I'm wondering about is how people set and break those trends of activity on a website? It's interesting.
22:26
hm
Valve canceled today's TF2 update and pushed it back to tomorrow.
> Valve announced today that it will use the upcoming Gamescom trade show to host "The International," a Dota 2 tournament with a million-dollar first-place prize. Let that sink in for a second. A million dollars.
> This tournament will be the first time Dota 2 is shown in public, and will take place August 17th -21st at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
It seems odd that they're going to show the game for the first time at a tournament with a $1 million prize.
22:42
sighs If you need something done right... time to figure out how to get Perl on Windows properly.
@ArdaXi Use ActivePerl?
@Powerlord Right. Not a big fan of proprietary solutions, but then again, serves me right for using Windows.
There used to be a normal Perl distribution as well. Dunno how easy it is to get working, though.
Exactly. ActivePerl is less of a bother.
Not like mkvtoolnix is going to be any easier to deal with.
Your name is less interesting, @Arda, now that I've realized I've been mispronouncing it for a year.
22:51
@GraceNote How did you pronounce it?
Why do you need Perl on Windows, anyway?
Actually, I need to go, so never mind!
Specifically, why did you pronounce it?
@Powerlord Batch job.
I don't really like actual batch.
@ArdaXi As "Chi", apparently reading the X in "Xi" as "Chi" rather than, more appropriately, as part of "Xi"
@GraceNote So unto my next question of... why did you even pronounce it?
I pronounce names in my head when I read them.
For example, in your case, I think "Arrr duh Z"
22:55
@Mana Same
lmao
@Mana It's Ar-dah, not Ar-duh
Are you sure?!
@Mana Seeing as I chose it, fairly.
hm.
@ArdaXi I talk when I type
22:58
@GraceNote Okay. Type my real name.
(That should be amusing)
Arda Xi. I'm still pronouncing it wrong.
@GraceNote That's not my real name.
@Arda What's your first name again? Arhian? Arian?
@Mana Close.
22:59
Right, that.
@ArdaXi Oh, right, that name
@GraceNote :)
Holthuizen iirc
How the...
I remember that part!
But only because of Huitzel
23:00
@ArdaXi You said yourself you don't care about privacy on the internet!
@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, I'm just confused that you actually remembered.
@GraceNote As if you can pronounce that.
I remember names. shrugs I dunno. I still remember the middle names of high school classmates.
I used to like to "collect" middle names when I was younger. :)
Though they're not as common over here. Well, either you have no middle name or you like, 3.
Hole thuoooii zen?
@FallenAngelEyes I have one. I'm not sharing it.
@Mana Nope.
It can't be represented in the English language.
Or maybe it's holt hai zen
23:01
@Mana Holy crap I almost spit out my drink
@ArdaXi You taught me it earlier but I've forgotten, hence I'll make up your name from now on
@Mana Very close.
It can't...what?
the "ui" dipthong doesn't exist in English
@GraceNote How could I have possibly taught you the 'ui' dipthong?
23:02
@ArdaXi Because I asked
@GraceNote That's the why, not the how.
And you wanted to laugh at me, probably
You taught me summat. I either used it to refine my own searches or something else, but you gave me the starting point. Especially in the syllabic division
It's Å“y at any rate.
/ˈɦɔlt ˌɦœy zən/
Hm. I'll have to practice, Holtzenheimer
@GraceNote Making fun of someone's name is not very nice. :(
23:09
@ArdaXi It's not so much mocking your name being complex as it is self-deprecation at my inability to pronounce it.
Hm I'll stick with Arda.
So much like that video game character who will never remember your name and thus call you Fred/Felix/Ferdinand/Klein, I'll just mix up your surname habitually
@Mvy Good idea Miffy.
I call my friends by their pseudonyms anyway.
@GraceNote Take the "ow" sound in "house" and like... narrow it. A lot. That's the best way to describe it.
23:10
Miffy? Is that me?
Oh, on an unrelated note, I was very happy to learn something about Chantelise this morning.
@GraceNote What's that?
@Grace what did you learn?!?!?!?!
@GraceNote What did you learn about chandeliers?
@Mana Interrobaaaang, GO!
23:11
They buffed the 4th temple's boss fight. Significantly. It's an awesome fight now.
Really? I thought that was like the easiest one.
Argh, I have one of those swollen taste buds on my tongue. h8
@Mana Easier than the first one? Really?
(Or either of the previous ones, for that matter)
It's still easy if your goal is just killing the boss, but where's the fun in that?
@Grace It was only after the first dungeon that I learned that I had to equip items for their properties to take effect
After the first encouter, I found out that I really need more HP
23:13
If you go to be a true slayer, that's a much more exciting fight.
and that my four wooden shields were actually not doing anything for me
@Mana ...oh wow, really?
2 shields max, if my memory is correct. ♪
:(
Hm never mlti equiped
can't tell
23:14
I learnt that candlehere plays a lot better with my gamepad.
It plays a lot better with good KB mapping...
I still need to finish Volcanicrab. Was doing it last night and I just wasn't focused enough to have the patience to play a game where you're meant to die.
@Fallen It's easier if you run behind it, and wait for it to spin around before running in
since it usually doesn't give you enough time to get the three hits in after swinging its claw
unless you approach it from the right angle, in which case you can hit it mid-swing
but that's annoying and sketchy
Or you feint it into a swing and then duck back in, but...
Yeah, I tried feinting but I would always end up ducking out when it wouldn't try to pwn me with the claws
23:17
@Mvy Yesterday I'd agreed with you.
@ArdaXi Well, guess I have to try
It's tricky. But you want to blow past Volcanicrab. Did you see the Gaming question on Fishing, @Fallen?
I'll just leave this here
I did not
23:18
@Wipqozn Saw that on reddit earlier today.
Assuming that's the pointcloud vid.
It's the one with the rock
It's the point-cloud vid.
The narration of that is so obnoxious.
I like his comment about putting the wings of a swan on a tiger
"For years, the video game industry has been doing it wrong. Then we came along."
UNLIMITED POWA
23:21
Exactly.
"Unlimited" is a very bold claim.
Besides, polygon limit isn't really due to engine tech, it's due to resource limits.
@Wipqozn Couldn't stand the video long enough to reach that.
@ArdaXi Holy crap, this narration is ridiculous
@FallenAngelEyes Told ya.
I can't... I can't take this
Oh my god.
> Your games are about to get better. Better by about ONE THOUSAAAAND TIIIIMES. THAT'S A PRETTY BIG NUMBER.
Ow. Having so little health a bomb kills you in one hit is very perilous
23:26
That's where I am, Mana
@FallenAngelEyes You're so connected!
Did I just ruin everyone's day with one video?
Success.
@Wipqozn Made my day, actually
@Wipqozn Mine was beyond ruining.
Not mine
But it was already ruined anyway
23:29
This tree is FICTION.
Is it using Bulletstorm as the polygon model game?
UNLIMITED DETAIL ROCKS MAN
Bulletstorm, Just Cause 2, and Crysis I think
@FallenAngelEyes I've seen Crysis, yeah.
Everything about this video screams bullshit.
yep.
23:29
Well they named Crysis, so I knew that, but was wondering about the unnamed ones
maybe not everything... but
CryEngine is really a big thing...
impresive
Well, yeah, I meant about their supposed "groundbreaking tech," not the preexisting stuff
But really... ugh, the narrator was so, so irritating
The most complicated part about point clouds is texturing.
Assuming you're not actually modelling every atom.
And having a computer that can run that shit without exploding
ok. time to sleep.
23:35
night @Mvy
see ya tomorow.
Good luck. Thanks to @Wipqozn I'm still hooked on Doctor Who.
I'd better not get that serie, or I won't sleep very much :P
I've never seen any Doctor Who
@ArdaXi Excellent. I've been watching through series 3-5 again myself (have them on DVD). I need to pick up series 1,2 and the specials with the tenth doctor as well.
23:36
I've watched 10 episodes in a matter of days.
Did you start with the 9th doctor?

Q: WoW Private Server

Mike BannisterI know there is a way to create a WoW cataclysm server and connect to it locally. I'm looking for a guide to setting one up with detailed instructions and links to the software needed.

@Wipqozn Yep.
@Lazers Offtopic?
@Mvy Definitely.
23:39
Private servers are not even allowed I believe, against the TOS.
Yup. Gettcher close votes...half price...getcher close votes...
@Wipqozn They're theft even.
the worst part about sucking at this boss fight is having to run back up the damned tree trunks every time
@FallenAngelEyes imagines this out of the context of gaming
@Arda man, totally uncalled for. I don't ever imagine anything about you and badp together outside of the context of gaming.
23:44
@Mana Usually is.
@FallenAngelEyes Uehehehe
Considering my somewhat dodgy sense of balance and unfondness of insecure heights, I'd probably not be too great at running across tree trunks outside of gaming context either
@FallenAngelEyes But it's fun!
Oh, @Mana, how go those Aqueducts?
If they weren't over ravines, sure. Over ravines... then I get a little more hesitant.
23:47
Not well, but I haven't tried them since getting the fishing rod, so I'm gonna see if I can get it that way
@FallenAngelEyes Chicken.
I'm bad enough at self-preservation, I don't need to exacerbate the issue
@FallenAngelEyes Right, well, idem. Last time I jumped trees was with a safety harness.

Q: Disposing of corpses.

WipqoznOne of my dwarfs recently went mad and starved to death, and his corpse is starting to stink up the place. I read online that corpses are disposed of in the graveyard, however it appears to have been removed in the latest version of Dwarf Fortress, 0.31.25. How do I dispose of Dwarf corpses?

I was tempted to go with "Hiding the evidence", but decided it wasn't an accurate title.
cough

Q: Dwarf Fortress corpses

antony.trupeI've got a corpse in my fort spreading miasma. I build a casket, placed it, designated it as open to citizens, and almost all dwarfs have the burial skill enabled. It has a description of "This is the resting place of Olon Toraltubul", which is the name on the corpse. Why is the corpse still layi...

cough

Hiiiii Roooob.
@ArdaXi Doesn't it need to be placed in a graveyard though?
@Wipqozn Nope.
so they've just been completely removed, all you need is a coffin?
Rob
Rob
I didn't realize ASCII could stink
23:53
@Wipqozn Yep.
My tactic was to just fill a room full of caskets, and they assign them themselves.
You might need to designate a room from the coffin, I'm not sure.
Okay. Flagging my own question as a duplicate then.
On the plus side I've become increasingly more adept at dodging boulders
oh wait, can I just delete it?
Closing as a duplicate is recommended over deletion.
Why is this?
23:55
Google-fu.
Incidentally @Grace, it's totally not fair that boulders squish Chante and not the enemies >:(
People might come to ask the same question, see that it's already been answered.
Yeah good point.
come to think of it
I think I can change my question to make it work
I did see the duplicate, but it never discussed how to actually set up the graveyard, which is why I asked the question.
noms a chocolate chocolate chip muffin
23:58
@FallenAngelEyes envies
omg want :(
Pretend-muffins for everyone!
They're so tasty. Grandmother-made too, so even tastier!
No fair.
