| 02:33.26 | JeffM | what are they threatening? |
| 02:33.44 | JeffM | unban me or I'll DDOS? |

| 02:34.27 | JeffM | or do they have pictures of players in compromising postions? |
| 02:35.31 | JeffM | but no kierra, generaly we do not |
| 02:44.40 | JeffM | it's just a silly game, and there isn't really anything anyone can threaten that would be world ending |
| 02:47.10 | allejo | gimme all your money or i'll ddos! |
| 02:48.23 | JeffM | DDOS is the most common kiddie threat |
| 02:49.14 | JeffM | the best ones are "I'll release my cheat source to the world" |
| 02:49.28 | JeffM | and to that I say "Cool, then we can fix the bugs that let you cheat" :) |
| 02:50.27 | allejo | movie time! |
| 02:50.40 | allejo | imagine a movie where instead of a bomb threat, it's a DDOS threat |
| 02:50.44 | allejo | most epic movie ever |
| 02:52.33 | JeffM | you keep sing that word, I do not think it means what you think it means |
| 02:53.00 | delusional | I talked to him in-game, I told him if he showed us what he's doing, and helped us fix it, then sure we'd unban him. |
| 02:53.55 | JeffM | that's a deal between you and him :) |
| 02:54.11 | allejo | double disk operating system? :o |
| 02:54.19 | JeffM | 'epic' |
| 02:54.35 | JeffM | delusional, you have no way of being sure he'd show you the same code he's using |
| 02:55.04 | allejo | a poem |
| 02:55.59 | JeffM | a long poem |
| 02:56.08 | delusional | I like haikus |
| 02:56.10 | JeffM | " narrating the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures or the history of a nation" |
| 02:56.11 | allejo | beowulf |
| 02:56.53 | JeffM | a single film could not capture an epic tale |
| 02:57.01 | JeffM | since it would be more then one story ;) |
| 02:57.46 | allejo | movie 43 |
| 02:58.03 | allejo | worst best example ever |
| 02:58.26 | JeffM | yeah that was the opposite of epic |
| 02:58.36 | JeffM | 2 hours I will NEVER GET BACK |
| 02:59.27 | allejo | hahahaha |
| 02:59.27 | JeffM | there is a reason movies show up on netflix right after they are released |
| 03:03.05 | JeffM | so is it that some player is thretening or that someone wants to offer him an olive branch to get him to stop? |

| 04:52.03 | dngor | delusional: Yes, re: vectrex |
| 04:53.28 | delusional | i still have it running, slightly modified lately |
| 04:53.46 | delusional | practice server for airstrike and grenades |
| 04:54.28 | delusional | i think i figured out a way to make the volcano spew, but never tried it. |
| 04:55.17 | dngor | Oo. I put it up on github. |
| 04:55.41 | dngor | https://github.com/rcaputo/bzflag-map-vectrex |
| 05:01.07 | delusional | i've had it running more or less continuously for all these years.. Had what i called "progressive flag mode" for awhile |
| 05:02.32 | delusional | heh, nice notes |
| 05:03.34 | delusional | i'm pretty positive that if i wanted to, I could use drawinfo to get the volcano going |
| 05:08.03 | dngor | Spin a mesh object with the ejecta ball attached? |
| 05:08.43 | dngor | Make the volcano itself opaque, so the ball can rotate below the edge without being seen. |
| 05:10.01 | dngor | I have absolutely no idea how drawInfo really works... just guessing hard. |
| 05:10.53 | delusional | your pretty close |
| 05:12.50 | delusional | you want it to seem random, so i'd do more than a few objects, and yes, you'd have to block them from view or an alpha sequence would also work |
| 05:13.09 | delusional | each object would be just a small dot |
| 05:16.56 | dngor | Give each one a different prime-numbered rotational velocity. |
| 05:18.36 | delusional | they'd be moving (mostly) vertical in a relatively large circle. |
| 05:18.46 | delusional | using modeltool is pretty easy |
| 05:18.52 | delusional | you could do it. |
| 05:19.45 | dngor | I'll have to look at this modeltool thing of which you speak. I haven't even played bzflag in years. |
| 05:20.08 | delusional | it's in sourcein the tools folder |
| 05:20.38 | dngor | Not since 2.4.0. Forever ago. |
| 05:21.04 | JeffM_ | it converts mesh files into bzw format and can put the meshes in drawinfo format |
| 05:21.35 | delusional | must also use a .diconf file to make drawinfo |
| 05:21.51 | delusional | and the mesh must be in obj format |
| 05:21.58 | JeffM_ | nope on both counts |
| 05:22.03 | JeffM_ | it has draw info defaults |
| 05:22.04 | delusional | ? |
| 05:22.07 | JeffM_ | and it reads several formats |
| 05:22.11 | JeffM_ | you just mostly use obj |
| 05:22.14 | delusional | wow, i did not know |
| 05:22.18 | JeffM_ | i know |
| 05:22.29 | delusional | you hiding things from me? |
| 05:22.44 | JeffM_ | nope you just never looked hard enough |
| 05:22.48 | JeffM_ | it should all be in the help |
| 05:23.09 | JeffM_ | damn thing will even read levels from quake 3 |
| 05:23.14 | delusional | i haven't had a local copy of source in at least 2 years |
| 05:23.31 | JeffM_ | it's all be in there longer then that |
