IRC log for #bzflag-chat on 20160120

00:01.29Flak18it is un-professionally designed map with a whole bunch of issues
00:02.50Flak18would like to make a boycott on apoc with some of the better known players
00:03.40kaadmyyep
00:04.00kaadmyi'll boycott it too, i don't play on it anyway
00:05.21BulletCatcherIt doesn't have to be a "boycott", people just need to choose any other server.
00:05.22BulletCatcherMaybe even be the first player on some other server and wait for others.
00:05.45kierrano one pays me to be in obs on apoc
00:06.23kierraexactly, BC
00:06.31Flak18seems like the ones i meant were StanDman,Gone Fishing
00:06.42Flak18the possible paid obs
00:06.54kierranah
00:07.02BulletCatcherWhy do you think they are paid to be there?
00:07.31Flak18who stays three days being an ob?
00:07.57Flak18even if it's to save a score.
00:08.36BulletCatcherStanDman or Gone Fishing, apparently.
00:09.20allejoIf people really took objection to apocalypse, then no one would be playing on it. Players complain but they never go to other servers and wait there for people to join
00:09.20Flak18i would guess that there is more to that then what meets the eye
00:09.50Flak18the issue is an artificially rated server
00:09.54BulletCatcherWhy would you guess that?
00:09.54BulletCatcherWhy not guess something else?
00:11.47allejoYour whining and complaining about a server and not doing anything about it is a problem
00:12.19allejoPeople whine and complain about Apoc but always end up playing. People begged for MW2.3 to be hosted again, voila I put it up and people rarely play on it
00:13.09BulletCatcherThat's because some of us are *still* tired of MW2.3. :-)
00:13.18allejohehe
00:13.56allejoOh geez. I've had my earbuds in without music
00:14.32kierraRegarding list server....is it true yet that obs no longer count
00:14.44kaadmyiirc yes
00:14.47kierraor not yet implemented
00:15.04kaadmy2.4.4 RC1 should have it
00:15.14kaadmyor was it in RC2?
00:15.14BulletCatcherObservers no longer count in 2.4.4 RC versions.
00:15.46allejoAnd the servers are randomly sorted
00:15.48kierraso mofo pple in obs do affect
00:15.55allejoThe empty ones that is
00:15.56kierradont*
00:18.10allejoMofo obs don't count in 2.4.4 RCs
00:18.17allejo2.4.2 clients still factor them in
00:19.09BulletCatcherblast007 could produce actual stats on client versions, but I suspect 2.4.2 is currently the most popular.
00:19.53allejoI would imagine, doubt too many people use RCs or know about them
00:20.18kaadmy2.4.4 is mentioned as an update when starting bzflag
00:20.42allejoBut those messages are so static (i.e. They never change) people ignore them
00:21.16kaadmymaybe it should be an obvious banner like xonotic?
00:21.30kaadmymaybe an popup on the main menu?
00:22.00BulletCatcherWe just need to get a proper 2.4.4 released.
00:22.12allejoblast loves pop ups
00:22.22kaadmythey work :)
00:22.54kaadmythen if he loves popups, they might be implemented faster than anything else ;)
00:55.19alezakoskaadmy: I'd be willing to host your map too, although my server is in EU
00:56.11alezakosbut as allejo said, it's not a bad idea to post it on the forums
01:31.42kaadmyok
01:33.12kaadmythanks for the support, i'll put my map and plugin on the forums when they're done

04:12.10kaadmyah
04:12.31blast007it's not all that great though

13:20.19Flak18looks like bzion is coming along nicely
13:39.11Flak18looking on a possible concept
13:40.22Flak18in which we build a version of bzflag for android and the iphone
13:42.09blast007please no
13:42.15Flak18It would be a publicity stunt for bzflag
13:42.34Flak18on second thought
13:42.45Flak18better not
13:42.46blast007:P
13:43.09blast007we do not need publicity.  we need a better game.
13:43.47Flak18was a concept for the release of 2.6.0.
13:45.28Flak18Also I'm not a developer

14:00.43blast007Flak18: if you had said anything between "Also I'm not a developer" and my client rejoining, I missed it

14:02.56blast007k
14:03.23Flak18if wanted you could check the logs
