Is anyone in here joining us for non-diamond capture the wool.

John

Non-diamond?

Wipqozn

@John we removed the layer of diamond

and by "we"

I mean ronan

John

I'm afraid I can't make it today.

Oh that's a good idea.

Should make it much more balanced.

badp

blech

hold the second point for 20 minutes

push to their second point for 10

get steamrolled in sudden death

(ragequit)

more like disappointquit

Ronan Forman

7:16 PM

@badp You should join us.

badp

nah. Dinner. Later.

I have a brillant idea!

We should all install solar panels on our forehead.

think of all the light that hits our forehead wastefully during the day!

we can turn it into POWER!

and additional FLAIR application surface! (but not both)

You can TAN and RECHARGE your PHONE at the SAME time! It's BRILLANT!

or use the POWER to CHARGE your ear-mounted LAZER gun.

Arda Xi

We'd also look like idiots at NO additional cost!

badp

No one ever looks at our faces anyway!

And why would they DARE to, when you have an ear-mounted LAZER gun.

@badp Why did I get a notice saying this was a reply to me in my inbox?

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman You're welcome.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice What for?

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Posting the zerobundle.

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice Oh yeah, I havent' looked at it yet, but it's free so...

John

Game on over?

Ronan Forman

@John It is now, I'm up for another game in 10 minutes though.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman What was this week's game?

Ronan Forman

@GnomeSlice MC still, next week is... ask @Wipqozn

John

@Ronan So, remember that MC map I was playing through and blogging about?

GnomeSlice

8:22 PM

Indievania is out of beta.

Ronan Forman

@John Yeah...

John

@Ronan It's getting repetitive and excruciatingly difficult. I think a second person would help to keep thing interesting. I'm sure you can see where this is going....

Ronan Forman

@John Do you want it recorded with a dual com?

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice: Xonotic and Killing FLoor

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn When's tankball?

Wipqozn

8:33 PM

@GnomeSlice Probably will be next month

John

Score 1 for the internet!

GnomeSlice

@John Missed a (

Wipqozn

as of right now...

I'm planning to have the next cycle have Tankball as one of the fourth-week games, and then either Terraria or King Arthur's Gold

Ronan Forman

@John Is that what you wanted?

John

@Ronan Not entirely sure what that means, but if I'm going to be blogging about it, I dont think we need to record it.

I want you to play it with me :P

Ronan Forman

8:36 PM

Sure, when do you next want to play?

John

I'm thinking sometime tomorrow. We'd continue from where I left off, so I'll just because I have the map.

You need 1.8, and there were a couple suggested mods, but I'll have to check if they have SMP versions.

I'll host*

Ronan Forman

I can't really do tomorrow, and I dont have 1.8

John

I can get you 1.8. When's a good time?

Hamachi work for you?

Ronan Forman

I don't really know what that is, and I've got loads of time tuesday, any time in the afternoon UTC.

John

Hamachi gets us around having to forward ports or do other sticky networking stuff. It's free. Hm, I might be able to do 2PM UTC.

On Tuesday.

Ronan Forman

8:43 PM

Cool, I'll get that downloaded.

Arda Xi

Time to upload a new picture, finally sans glasses.

John

@Ronan You want the unmanaged version.

JohnoBoy

8:58 PM

I get it lunboks wants the Copy Editor badge, but it's getting ridiculous. I've been seeing 95% old posts on the main page today

John

I thought he already had it :P he's quite active.

JohnoBoy

I dunno, editing other people posts is fine and all, but editing for editing's sake?

agent86

Okay people of GSE chat, here's my second released project:

Arda Xi

Uh oh.

agent86

ChatterBox - a userscript to add an "inbox" button to chat, which auto-updates with the latest from your StackExchange inbox.

3

let's hope this isn't completely useless and done and busted, although it was a learning experience for userscripts for me anyhow :)

Arda Xi

9:13 PM

People use Opera?

agent86

I do at work, although if you're referring to what I just linked it's mostly for firefox/chrome

I haven't tested it on opera, although it should work.

Arda Xi

Yeah, but your link includes an Opera extension.

agent86

there's a link to another project on stackapps there, not mine though. I think he's got chrome/firefox versions of his project too.

user15026

9:49 PM

@agent86 For those of us who are not super savvy with this stuff - what do I do with the code thing it generates?

alexanderpas

@AshleyNunn install greasemonkey first ;) (assuming you're on firefox)

user15026

@alexanderpas So if I am using Chrome, do I need it?

alexanderpas

@AshleyNunn chrome does not need greasemonkey, it has support build in.

user15026

@alexanderpas I meant do I need to do anything with the access token

alexanderpas

@AshleyNunn > click "Inbox Cfg" to set relevant options (right now, just your access token).

agent86

9:54 PM

@AshleyNunn sorry, was AFK. yes, you'll need to install the script, and then you'll see two more buttons to the right of "upload" in the chat interface

press the "Inbox Cfg" button and paste the code from the site into the blank and click "save"

then your inbox items should show up in the "inbox" menu

user15026

@agent86 - FYI (I am using Chrome) when I type/paste in the access token and click save, it doesn't appear to do anything (the dialog doesn't disappear, there is nothing that tells me that the token worked). Mind you, when I refresh, I can see the little inbox thing and it works, but I don't know if you care about it getting stuck.

alexanderpas

@AshleyNunn here the "Inbox (-)" changed to "Inbox (0)"

agent86

@AshleyNunn You can click "inbox cfg" to make that go away, and the "-" turns to a "0" next to your inbox button

user15026

@alexanderpas Yeah, that's what happened here too, but the dialog box just gets stuck there - it doen't go away.

alexanderpas

@AshleyNunn those are toggle buttons ;)

user15026

9:57 PM

@agent86 I tried that. The only way I could get it to go away was through refresh

agent86

you have to click the button again, or click the "inbox" button, and it should go away.

hmm, well, I'll look into it.

user15026

@agent86 yeah, I don't know if it is just me (I have been having some weird issues lately with browser stuff) but I figured I would mention it

agent86

well, if you guys use it and like it, upvote it on stackapps :P

user15026

@agent86 I think it is neat, now that I have figured it out.

user15026

It means I don't have to keep a Gaming tab open just in case something happens. XD

user15026

10:06 PM

I hate when sites have a GIANT register here link and a very tiny "sign in" link.

agent86

@AshleyNunn I added a bit more documentation, perhaps that will help the next person :)

user15026

@agent86 Very cool. :)

Q: How can I fix the Skyrim Forever Mourning Bug if I have already returned to Jorrvaskr with the witches' heads?

I have already returned to Vilkas after killing the witches; it then went into forever mourning mode. I did not realise this was a glitch at first, and now have far too much play time after to throw away in order to go back to before the bug. I have tried running through the silver hand place and...

OrigamiRobot

@RonanForman did you play anymore CtW?

Ronan Forman

10:43 PM

@Origami No, bit I think some other people did.

OrigamiRobot

@RonanForman I liked the no diamonds and no setup time

John

11:03 PM

@OrigamiRobot Ah yes, how did that work out? :)

OrigamiRobot

@John I thought it was a lot of fun

John

@OrigamiRobot Good! No more trading diamond armor? (and with it, total control?)

OrigamiRobot

@John its funny that iron is more valuable in respect to time, but you dont feel as bad when you loose it

John

@OrigamiRobot Heheh

John

11:18 PM

I got downvoted today and I've no clue why. :(

Wipqozn

@John on which question/answer?

John

0

A: Do all players spawn on the same block in SMP?

No. Sorry, but in SMP the server picks a random block from the spawn chunk to spawn people. They don't spawn on the same block every time.

Less detailed, sure. But wrong?

Wipqozn

@John oh, that was me

John

@Wipqozn not sure if trolling...

Wipqozn

@John l o l

No, wasn't me

I did just up vote it though

Some people down vote for no good reason at all

John

11:23 PM

@Wipqozn Why thank you.

Wipqozn

@John you owe me

John

@Wipqozn Which I totally don't get, because they lose rep too!

@Wipqozn Um, sure. Next time you post an answer worthy of an upvote, I'll upvote it.

Wipqozn

@John Feel free to just up vote everything I've ever posted

on every site across the entire network

Also, really not sure why you got the down vote :/

any reason I could think of would apply to the 0-score answer as well

so it should have been down voted

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn IT TOTALLY WASNT ME

John

speculates Maybe, just maybe that latest answerer downvoted me so his nearly-identical answer wouldn't sort to the bottom. But, we'll probably never know.

@Wipqozn There. Enjoy your 5 new MSO points.

(and I didn't dupe vote, so that's an additional bonus)

agent86

11:28 PM

you chat regulars who were not here earlier, go check out chatterbox, which is in the star list. you will like it or I will beat you with sticks until you do. since sticks don't really change people's opinions very fast, there will be a lot of sticking.

John

@agent86 I saw that...

But...I'm not sure I want another place for people's arguments with me to be shoved in my face. :/

agent86

@John ... and installed it, upvoted it, and loved it, and the check for you hard work is in the mail" is how that statement ended in my brain.

Wipqozn

@John ARGUE ARGUE ARGUE ARGUE ARGUE ARGUE ARGUE ARGUE

John

@agent86 I did upvote, though.

agent86

DONT MAKE MY BRAIN WRONG, you wouldn't like it when my brain is wrong.

woooooo

I'll take what I can get.

John

11:31 PM

@agent86 You sound like @Raven.

Wipqozn

Also, I'll pin that for you

John

@John Don't make me think I'm crazy. You won't like it when you make me think I'm crazy.

agent86

@John I get that alot.

John

@agent86 But... he's the alot.

agent86

@Wipqozn woo for blatant room ownership abuse

John

11:32 PM

Are you callin' me an alot?!

@agent86 Actually, I thought it was perfectly reasonable... >.>

agent86

@John I like this alot

@John I was joking

I do appreciate it @Wipqozn

Wipqozn

@agent86 sure you do

Dick

err I mean.... you're welcome!

John

@agent86 resorts to anti-@Wipqozn defense LA LA LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING TO YOU

agent86

Do you want to fight about it? I AM TEN NINJAS.

Wipqozn

@agent86 lololol

no pun in ten did

John

11:34 PM

@agent86 I HAVE 10 FINGERS

Wipqozn

thanks again for that phrase @RonanForman

agent86

I've been on a javascript rampage this weekend

John

@Wipqozn Just FYI, I don't think that's original...

I've heard that one before.

But, you can still thank him for introducing it to you.

Wipqozn

@John that's what I'm doing.

John

@Wipqozn Ok. Just checking.

Q: Skyrim: Become Ethereal not working

I'm using the Become Ethereal shout to sneak past some guards, but they instantly walk up to me and give me "You've committed crimes" speech. Why? How can I fix this? I'm on the PC.

skyrim

OrigamiRobot

@Lazers grrrr 10 seconds too late

and only 20 rep from today's limit....

John

@OrigamiRobot The limit that you have 19 minutes to hit?

OrigamiRobot

@John exactly

wtf someone downvoted my answer...

John

@OrigamiRobot There. Done.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot which one?

John

11:44 PM

Also, mklink is not recognized as an available command, etc

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn the ethereal one

Wipqozn

@Lazers ah, that one..

John

-1

A: Skyrim: Become Ethereal not working

The Become Ethereal shout does not make you invisible. It only means you do not take or deal damage.

Wipqozn

That's the second answer that has recieved a down vote which shouldn't have

John

@OrigamiRobot So, that puts you at 198 for the day? Quick! Accept an answer somewhere!

Ronan Forman

11:45 PM

@Wipqozn but the phrase itself isn't a pun, it needs to be used in context!

OrigamiRobot

i mean it is not as good as the other one (and it came after) but come on

John

@Wipqozn I worry about the implications of this.

I guess you could always accept an answer for the 2 points, then unaccept it in 20 minutes when it's a new UTC day. :P

OrigamiRobot

its ok someone upvoted it twice (only got 2 points)

@John also i dont think accepts count towards rep cap

John

@OrigamiRobot Hm, good point, I'm not sure.

agent86

@OrigamiRobot if you're just going to 200 for the day (ie, for mortarboard/epic/legendary) accepts count.

OrigamiRobot

11:53 PM

@John I have 217 rep for the day with one accepted answer and one accept to a question i asked

agent86

both accepts you do (+2) and accepts done to your answers. (+15)

well, it's only +2 if you accept someone else's answer; accepting your own doesn't count for any additional rep.

OrigamiRobot

right

agent86

but yeah, even if you don't get to 200 on upvotes alone, accept rep counts towards it.

you don't have to get the 200 via upvotes alone. I think even bounties count.

Wipqozn

@agent86 ah dang

there goes my plan to get to 10k by asking a bunch of questions and then answering :(

agent86

hah, my previous employer is filing for bankruptcy. glad I bailed when I did...

@Wipqozn yes, this plan is FAIL.

user15026

11:59 PM

@agent86 Yeah, no kidding!

agent86

@Wipqozn my get-rep-quick scheme is to answer questions on the site. I know, I know, it sounds crazy but... well, so far nobody's caught me!

user15026

@agent86 You are a very sneaky person, not getting caught ;)
