| 20:12.26 | guest3621 | hi, if I want to make a topic about a plugin suggestion but which will be applied mostly for Leagues United, should I start it on Plug-in Development subforum or in Leagues United Discussion one? |
| 20:15.40 | blast007 | plug-in development is for questions about the development of plugins - is there a plugin being developed? |
| 20:17.31 | guest3621 | it is just an idea; I will be willing for anybody to code it (I can't still); and I saw JeffM saying "new plug-in ideas" on This Forum topic |
| 20:17.46 | guest3621 | or I will be hoping |
| 20:18.11 | JeffM | I did what where with who? |
| 20:18.26 | guest3621 | all is your fault hehe |
| 20:20.29 | JeffM | well techincaly anything involving a plugin is my fualt, I made the API |
| 20:20.34 | blast007 | it's league specific so ask the league |
| 20:20.41 | JeffM | even though the maintainer didn't think it'd be useful |
| 20:21.00 | JeffM | what do you want the plug-in to do? |
| 20:24.05 | guest3621 | it is for allowing an easy way to vote for several situations (mostly applicable for LU); don't want to give too much info; but I think I will post it on Plug-in Development one |
| 20:24.21 | blast007 | super secret |
| 20:24.30 | JeffM | if you are going to post it, why would it be secret? |
| 20:24.43 | blast007 | guest3621: and really, do you just ignore what I say? |
| 20:24.44 | JeffM | what would the final output of the plugin be? |
| 20:24.44 | guest3621 | (I know about the poll API being extended somewhat recently but this would be much simpler) |
| 20:24.51 | blast007 | 15:20:34 < blast007> it's league specific so ask the league |
| 20:25.28 | JeffM | I'd listen to blast007, not a post i made in 2005 when I was headstrong and full of myself, drunk on power |
| 20:25.44 | JeffM | he runs the show, I just make stupid comments |
| 20:25.54 | blast007 | plus, the post was probably about what plugins we might want to include in the official distribution |
| 20:26.09 | blast007 | not "who wants to write a plugin for XYZ league?" |
| 20:26.23 | JeffM | there are a few plugin requests, in there, ideas looking for developers |
| 20:26.25 | JeffM | but not many |
| 20:26.31 | guest3621 | blast007 you mean to ask in ##leaguesunited? |
| 20:26.33 | JeffM | it's mostly API docs that can probalby be remoted |
| 20:26.39 | JeffM | removed |
| 20:26.59 | blast007 | yeah, I want to do a massive cleanup of the forums soon |
| 20:27.18 | blast007 | better categories, including some for JUST official news that only select people can post to |
| 20:27.19 | JeffM | purge it.. purge it.. |
| 20:28.07 | JeffM | the only reason bzflag got an API was that I was writing one at work :) |
| 20:28.24 | JeffM | if i continued that trend, you'd be getting a debugger right now |
| 20:29.23 | guest3621 | blast007: but "normal" people, like normal players (the base of this community) would be able to post still right? Just new categories for a better organization? |
| 20:29.47 | JeffM | he's talking about posting to specific news centric topics |
| 20:29.59 | JeffM | you as a normal person could not announce the next release of the game |
| 20:30.05 | JeffM | or that trump won the election |
| 20:30.24 | guest3621 | okay, that is good but not allowing all the rest is bad |
| 20:30.38 | JeffM | that would not be a forum then, that would be a blog |
| 20:31.25 | JeffM | in the end, what do you want your plugin to actualy DO to the game state? |
| 20:31.33 | JeffM | or does it just record actions somewhere? |
| 20:31.34 | guest3621 | not refering to what you said but what I sad: normal issues for BZ people; he said "*some* for JUST offical news"; then I understand not *only* those forums |
| 20:32.35 | guest3621 | should I answer you or will make blast get upset? :P |
| 20:33.07 | guest3621 | (I asked also "blast007 you mean to ask in ##leaguesunited?" and was not answered) |
| 20:33.08 | JeffM | there is no restrictions on talking about plugin ideas in this chat |
| 20:33.15 | blast007 | guest3621: the forums |
| 20:33.17 | JeffM | he meant on the forums |
| 20:33.24 | JeffM | chat != forums |
| 20:33.50 | JeffM | or chat<> forums if you are sql inclined |
| 20:34.06 | guest3621 | well, I can ask there then; but now I should answer you JeffM or not? blast007? :P |
| 20:34.30 | JeffM | you should probalby talk there to see if they even WANT a plugin |
| 20:34.40 | JeffM | I'm curuious if what you want is even possible with a plugin |
| 20:34.52 | blast007 | and they'd probably not make it a separate plugin - they'd add the functionality to their existing plugin |
| 20:36.00 | guest3621 | well, then to be brief, all I want is making mottoes to be dynamical; to add few different things to make polls (like "fm?") much simpler. I will ask there tho. |
| 20:36.34 | guest3621 | (alpha1 here) |
| 20:36.39 | JeffM | given your lack of techincal knowledge your idea may not be possible, so it's be best to find that out first before you go and sugesti ideas.. right? |
| 20:36.43 | JeffM | oh fugggg |
| 20:36.46 | JeffM | nevermind |
| 20:37.04 | guest3621 | technically it ispossible :) |
| 20:37.13 | JeffM | don't care anymore |
| 20:37.29 | JeffM | I have new knowledge that negates my interest. |
| 20:40.11 | JeffM | blast007: don't some of the leauges run closed source plug-ins? |
| 20:48.09 | *** join/#bzflag disco-_ (~disco@unaffiliated/disco-) |
| 20:52.03 | guest3621 | sorry, I don't understand very well still: should I ask on LU sub forum "may I suggest a plugin for LU?" or directly expose them all the details of the plugin idea? |
| 20:54.36 | JeffM | it's your voice you can say what you want where you want, all blast was sugesting was to not post a plugin request in the plugin dev forum, the rest is up to you, woman up and make some choices..... |
| 20:55.06 | blast007 | guest3621: just make your feature suggestion on the LU forum |
| 20:55.14 | blast007 | it's not a plugin request, it's a feature request |
| 20:55.19 | guest3621 | okay, thanks |
| 20:55.23 | blast007 | they already have a plugin - they'll just enhance it |
| 20:56.28 | allejo | jeffm: the only current league has its core plugin open source and everything else should be too actually |
| 20:57.24 | guest3621 | JeffM: I am not a woman, just so you know; you sounded somewhat funny tho |
| 20:57.39 | JeffM | doesn't mean you can't act like one an make up your own mind |
| 20:57.49 | guest3621 | haha |
| 21:04.06 | guest3621 | allejo: talking with 1vs1_maintainer recently he said: "If you are asking the state of 1vs1 league....it suffers from the same affliction of bzflag in general....loss of players in general without sufficient replacement numbers. It still sees activity. allejo servers for hix/dupi were down temporarily and now back up. Still the ebb & flow of activity is present on a day to day basis.....same as elsewhere on bz." Then, it is still |
| 21:04.09 | guest3621 | I understand. |
| 21:05.16 | guest3621 | (or aparently) |
