03:48.39catherine<PROTECTED>
03:48.59JeffM2501thanks for spaming and flooding the channel :/
03:49.04JeffM2501the problem is that your video driver is failing on the fullscreen switch
03:49.17JeffM2501that's an older card IIRC
03:49.20catherine...sorry, didn't mean to interrupt all the other conversations.
03:49.21catherineit is
03:49.28catherineits an old card, me thinks
03:49.31JeffM2501are you running DRI
03:49.41catherinei dunno, fresh install of debian
03:49.46catherinehow do i find out?
03:49.49JeffM2501dunno
03:50.00JeffM2501I'd make sure you have the current driver packages for your card
03:50.05JeffM2501and that it knows what your monitor is
03:50.28catherinei cant find the linux drive on their page
03:50.29JeffM2501the error is the driver telling us that we asked it to go full screen and it could not
03:50.39JeffM2501there is a legacy driver on ATI's site
03:51.33catherinei couldnt find one compatible
03:51.40JeffM2501they may not have one
03:51.44catherinelooking
03:51.48catherinethat would be m luck
03:51.55catherinethat would be my luck
03:52.01JeffM2501if not all you are left with is DRI
03:52.15JeffM2501there may be updates for that in debian, but I don't know
03:57.59*** join/#bzflag catherine (~catherine@c-69-136-38-243.hsd1.ga.comcast.net)
03:58.34blast007catherine: you might be able to select the proper full screen mode after you start via -window
03:58.55blast007Options > Display Settings > Change Video Format
03:59.06blast007might have to pick the one that matches your desktop resolution
03:59.15JeffM2501<catherine> craps out when i tried to change it in game
03:59.21blast007ah
03:59.37blast007but still - might have picked the wrong one ;)
03:59.46JeffM2501true
04:00.37catherinei'm running at 1024x768
04:01.19blast007that's your desktop resolution? and you tried switching to that resolution in-game?
04:01.35catherineyeah, its still not quite full screen
04:02.22blast007well, unfortunately that's an old video card, and the drivers for it aren't all that great
04:03.50blast007is it a laptop?
04:03.56catherineno
04:04.08catherineits a dual head agp card
04:04.12blast007ah
04:04.17blast007well, that's good news at least :)
04:04.23catherineyeah
04:04.35blast007you'd probably have better luck with an older nVidia card
04:04.58catherinei was GOING to install the driver and give it away
04:05.22catherinei've managed to do it successfully on a few other ati cards
04:05.23blast007(or you'd have better luck with the current card and Windows)  ;)
04:05.45catherinemeh, i was going to install some other gl games
04:05.50catherinelike penguin racer
04:06.00blast007there was some recent forum post with someone with that same issue, iirc
04:06.02catherinewhere tux is skiing downhill, getting the fish
04:06.10blast007let me see if I can find it quick
04:06.22catherinehook me up man
04:06.27catherinethx a bunch
04:07.19blast007http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=16080
04:08.23blast007that thread was for ubuntu, but it could be the same kind of problem and might get you on the right track
04:11.21catherinemeh, i'm diugging out an old nvidia
04:11.21blast007hmm, this one might be useful as well, at least after the first half of the thread: http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=15843
04:11.28blast007hehe, k
04:11.39catherineafter i check out that last link
04:12.23blast007looking like that last one might not have gotten it working full screen
04:13.27blast007the whole 'fullscreen switch' issue is rather common with the old ATI's
04:28.19JeffM2501goes back to stealing art from Battle for Wesnoth
04:28.31blast007:)
04:28.51Yamarlol
04:29.04JeffM2501I just wish it was larger

15:36.30bradafter you reload the groups file, you no longer see messages saying people joined the server
15:36.36bradthey just ... appear
15:36.46bradyet you still see them leaving
15:44.18BulletCatcherI assume that is from the client's point of view.  Does the server still log the "Player ... has joined from ..." debug message?
15:52.00bradchecking
15:53.01bradyep that is still in the logs
15:58.20BulletCatcherDid *your* group permissions change in the new group file?  (i.e., you went from admin to non-admin)
15:59.10bradno, and I still saw IP address for people leaving the server
15:59.55blast007I just reloaded my group file here (didn't have any changes) and I still saw joins.  that was with a 2.0.14 client, though.
16:00.30bradI changed a group name (typo) but I'm not actually in that group
16:00.46blast007you're not even a leader of the group?
16:00.51bradno
16:00.53blast007k
16:01.07BulletCatcherBased on a comment in playing.cxx, he stopped receiving MsgAdminInfo.  Still have to figure out why.
16:01.19*** join/#bzflag Yamar (~Yamar@ip-159.250.66.226.dsl.crocker.net)
16:02.29BulletCatcherDoes rejoining the server fix it?
16:03.36bradjust tested - yes
16:06.26BulletCatcherI am looking in sendIPUpdate() in bzfs.cxx, which is where MsgAdminInfo is sent to clients.  Somehow, reloading the groups file must have made you lose your PLAYERLIST permission from the server's point of view.
16:10.17BulletCatcherIs there a player on the server who has been on since before you reloaded the groups file?  If so, do a "/showgroup callsign" on them and see if it matches what you have specified in the new groups file.
16:11.22bradnope. they have all since rejoined and are now playing a match, so can't test again yet.
16:12.51bradone thing that may help: the only 2 people there at the time were both in the group with the typo fix, and I didn't see them join
16:13.04bradI should have tested with another client not in that group
16:16.30BulletCatcherOkay.  I'll make a note of this bug.  Rejoining seems to be the workaround.
16:16.51bradyep its nothing major, just thought i'd let ya know anyway
16:16.56BulletCatcherThanks.

18:24.51blast007BulletCatcher: in past version (early 1.7) I think we went the IP address in the actual join message
18:25.04blast007but that was removed since everyone got everyone's IP :)
