00:00:00raptorso they couldn't get good starbases - so i went planet hopping and wiped out no less than 100 planets
00:00:00raptoragainst 6 computers
00:00:00Watusimotowow
00:00:00raptorit got a little tedious in the middle...
00:00:00raptorso many enemy ships
00:00:00WatusimotoI'm shocked to hear that
00:00:00raptorha!
00:01:00raptorit only took us three days!
00:01:00Watusimotomaybe I'll teach my kids...
00:01:00raptorour wives are feeling neglected, however...
00:01:00WatusimotoI'm shocked to hear that
00:01:00raptor:)
00:02:00Watusimotowas thinking that we could consider a new language plugin for the new website... one where the little code buttons work
00:02:00Watusimotoyour complaint about geshi reminded me
00:02:00raptorargh, another php segfault
00:02:00Watusimotoreally!
00:03:00Watusimotoon tye official website
00:03:00Watusimoto?
00:03:00raptorno, on the new one - after i updated the geshi plugin
00:03:00sam686its teh http://199.192.229.168/ website
00:03:00raptorit's my testbed right now
00:03:00Watusimotolooks so... clean
00:05:00raptorargh, where is the php log file?
00:08:00sam686did you find the log file yet?
00:08:00raptorno\
00:09:00sam686i think php log goes inside the apache log file...
00:09:00BFLogBot - Commit 8ba5ca27f63b | Author: watusim...@bitfighter.org | Log: Line endings
00:09:00sam686it might be error.log or access.log
00:10:00sam686in the server , it may be in /var/log/httpd
00:13:00sam686use something like: sudo cat /var/log/httpd/error_log
00:13:00Watusimotowow -- have you guys tried Bitfighter's super larger-than-full-screen-full-screen mode?
00:13:00raptorum
00:13:00raptori haven't
00:13:00WatusimotoIt may be a windows only thing, still trying to understand it
00:13:00Watusimotoif you open a normal window
00:14:00Watusimotothen double click on the title bar, you get into a semi-full screen mode
00:14:00Watusimotobut the screen isn't centered properly
00:14:00sam686i ran into super larger then normal, when doing fullscreen, then scrinking my desktop resolution
00:14:00Watusimotothen if you alt-enter, you get into a full screen mode where it's larger (slightly) than the screen itself
00:15:00Watusimotothe top and bottom is cut off
00:16:00Watusimotooh the hilarity of sdl!
00:16:00sam686oh, something you just added?
00:16:00Watusimotohardly
00:16:00Watusimotosomething I'm trying to fix
00:16:00Watusimotowhen I discovered the super mode
00:16:00Watusimototrying to fix centering when you double click the title bar
00:17:00sam686i guess i didn't run into that problem yet, due to my monitors being 4:3
00:17:00Watusimotoah yes, the romanticism of yesteryear
00:17:00raptorummm
00:17:00raptorour new server is being bombarded with ssh bots
00:18:00sam686umm how to read ssh log?
00:18:00sam686i wonder if all the bots is trying to log into zoombers vps?
00:19:00raptorits in var/log
00:19:00raptor /var/log
00:20:00raptorunder 'secure' and 'utmp'
00:20:00raptorbut they're 16 and 34 MB each respectively
00:20:00raptor14 and 38 i mean
00:20:00Watusimotomaybe all those bots are running on zoombers vps
00:21:00raptortrying to log in with username 'kobiyashi'?
00:22:00raptorsigh, i wish centos would harden the OS a little more...
00:22:00sam686how do i tell "cat" to only read a few last lines of a log file?
00:22:00Watusimotooh, raptor, wanted to congratulate you on your levels
00:22:00raptoruse 'tail'
00:22:00raptor:)
00:23:00raptorthanks!
00:23:00Watusimotokde was my 2nd favorite
00:23:00WatusimotoI didn't think that was you
00:23:00raptorwho did you think it was?
00:23:00Watusimotok
00:23:00Watusimototoo obvious in hindsight
00:23:00raptorhahaha
00:23:00Watusimotobut celtic runes was yours all over
00:23:00raptori almost added the level comment of 'GNOME 3 stinks'
00:24:00Watusimotoah, but it doesn;t
00:24:00Watusimotobut no matter... it was a good level
00:24:00WatusimotoI liked the flag spawns luring you in to the turrets
00:24:00raptorhow did you know Celtic was mine? because of my sneak peak at my SVG tool?
00:24:00WatusimotoI may use that on a future level
00:24:00Watusimotoyes, and who else?
00:25:00WatusimotoI had seen one of the elemetns, but I don;t know anyone else with an svg convert tool
00:25:00Watusimotoand that's really the only way to make a level like that
00:25:00raptori'm still debating on whether i should release it
00:25:00raptorthe svg tool
00:25:00Watusimotocould be used for good or evil
00:26:00raptoryes, i can see much evil
00:26:00Watusimotowell, great job
00:27:00Watusimotomaybe we should support curved walls in the editor in future
00:30:00sam686you know what, people might as well make a lua plugin that can add "EnergyItem" or "SlipZone" as the only way to create more of those item is to capy and paste
00:31:00Watusimotough! don't say that!
00:31:00Watusimotohadn't even considered that
00:32:00Watusimotowe need our dungeon mode
00:32:00WatusimotoI don't mind letting people use those on dungeon levels; not sure they're good for the game in general
00:32:00WatusimotoI may rue the day with this plugin business
00:34:00raptoryeah, so...
00:34:00raptorthe newer geshi keeps crashing
00:34:00raptorand of course the segfault doesn't output anything to logs
00:34:00raptordinner time!
00:35:00sam686i think i might want to create a /who or /whois for admin to get ip address from a player, i finding myself having to read "bitfighter_server.log" a lot..
00:37:00Watusimotowhy do you care about that?
00:43:00sam686well, maybe not much, but I do find a user changing names frequently...
00:45:00sam686or maybe a /read_server_log command that prints server logs into client console
00:47:00Watusimotologprintf now prints to console -- you could change the events that get logged there (currently can only be done in c++)
00:48:00Watusimotonot opposed to a /whois type fo command, though
00:50:00Watusimotothis is unfortunate
00:51:00Watusimotowhen user clicks maximze, we detect that as a resize event
00:51:00Watusimotowe try to constrain the window to our 8x6 ratio
00:51:00Watusimotothe os overrides, and keeps the window maxized
00:52:00Watusimotobut sdl reports the size we tried (unsuccessfully) to set
00:52:00Watusimotoso now sdl and the window are out of sync size-wise
01:00:00sam686yes, that is sort of a problem with linux CPU-eating maximized, there it calls sdl resize continuously, because linux GUI won't let sdl change window size when maximized..
01:05:00WatusimotoI wouldn't mind as much if we could at least figure out that what was happening and center the display or whatever
01:05:00Watusimotoit's just sdl reports back bad informatino about screen size after this occurs
01:06:00Watusimotogalcon solves this problem by not letting you resize the window -- it's either full screen or windowd at fixed size
01:08:00raptorSDL + window manager maximize = ugly no-no
01:08:00raptorwe need to disable maximize
01:09:00WatusimotoI would if we could
01:12:00Watusimotonight all
01:12:00raptornight

02:03:00sam686grrr, it is so hard to listen to that poor quality voice compression when someone talks...
02:04:00sam686that is only on existing 015.... will have to wait and see for version 016
02:32:00zoomber_mbp has joined
02:35:00karamazovapythere's another way, besides an svg tool, to create levels like celtic arena
02:36:00zoomber_mbpand its not called zapcurvetool
02:36:00karamazovapyit's most certainly not
02:36:00karamazovapyit's how I made son of airlock
02:42:00Flynnn Quit (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
02:54:00zoomber_mbplol
02:54:00zoomber_mbpim so curious to know
02:54:00zoomber_mbpit would be cool if some text generator...
03:36:00zoomber_mbp Quit (Quit: zoomber_mbp)
03:45:00zoomber_mbp has joined
04:06:00raptorsam686: are you on the new server?
04:06:00raptori just added an iptables rule to disconnect people if they fail to connect on port 22 3 times in a minute
04:07:00sam686oh, i guess i am in a server, i guess i left my ssh client idling...
04:08:00raptoralso, would it be ok if i changed the ssh port?
04:08:00sam686first, to which port number?
04:08:00raptoranything other than 22
04:08:00raptorand probably 80 :)
04:09:00raptori don't know... what is an easy number to remember for watusimoto?
04:09:00sam686http web page will probably have to stay at port 80 if you want anyone to view web page...
04:09:00raptoryeah, i was just joking...
04:10:00sam686it depends on what watusimoto would say...
04:11:00sam686one problem with changing ssh port number is, if you can'ge port number and forgot, how to get in?
04:11:00raptoryou can use nmap to rediscover it
04:11:00raptorbut yeah, that migh tbe a problem
04:11:00raptorok, i'll look into an iptables solution
04:12:00sam686most of ssh scanners may password guess mostly the root user anyway...
04:13:00raptorwell, the /var/log/secure file is getting HUGE because of guesses with multiple user names
04:16:00zoomber_mbp Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
04:21:00sam686looks like zoombers server is like 10 Megabytes of /var/log/secure file, but there is secure.1 secure.2 ...
04:21:00raptoryeah... check the /var/log/btmp
04:21:00raptorthat is where failed password attempts go
04:21:00raptorwhether on ssh or not...
04:23:00sam686btmp have about 22132 kilobytes
04:23:00sam686well thats for zoomber server...
04:26:00sam686btmp seems to be a binary file...
04:34:00sam686oh wow, secure log file shows the same IP address 57461 times, thats in zoomber 96.44.x server..
04:36:00sam686there are almost all dated in 16 hours in one day...
04:40:00sam686http://hostingfu.com/article/ssh-dictionary-attack-prevention-with-iptables there is something that can be added with iptables

06:30:00ChanServ sets mode +v Zoomber
06:30:00Zoomberyoyo
06:38:00sam686Zoomber, your 176.31.x server had some complete lagged out bitfighter server for 5-10 seconds, then comes back, happened about 10 times today (in a past 12 hours)
06:39:00Zoombermay have just been lag from paris, since its so far away
06:39:00Zoomberthough, i host a different game sever on it too
06:40:00sam686i don't know if that different game server eats too much internet bandwidth, or CPU, tried using renice to set the other server to lowest priority, and bitfighter to high priority, but doesn't completely fix lagged out problem
06:41:00Zoombercpu holds around 60-70% running on average, when its full
06:41:00Zoomberbitfighter barley uses 5, unless bots
06:41:00sam686also the uptime for that server looks like about 12 hours...
06:42:00sam686that might have been why bitfighter from that server go dead..
06:45:00sam686whats that? the server 176.31.x says The system is going down for reboot NOW! ?
06:47:00Zoomberthats me
06:47:00Zoomberi'm trying to work on my game server right now
06:47:00sam686any problems with your game server? laggy or what?
06:47:00Flynnn has joined
07:01:00Zoomberno, it's having config file troubles and keeps restarting
07:01:00Zoomberunlike bitfighter, it has lots of plugins, and those plugins dont fix their config files automatically
07:01:00Zoomberthen again..they dont have developers as goood as bitfighter's
07:04:00sam686why should it keep restarting itself hunderds of time by itself?
07:04:00Zoombersigh, everytime someone joins, it restarts
07:05:00Zoomberits all java
07:05:00Zoomberso, luckily i get logs, and i know where its coming from
07:05:00Zoomberbut i dont know why it doesn't work when i fix it
07:07:00sam686i am guessing you would have to remove the problem plugin or something...
07:07:00raptor Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
07:07:00sam686bye raptor...
07:07:00sam68610 seconds late..
07:11:00Zoomberyes, but it accounts for all [memer] groups
07:11:00Zoomberif i do that, my staff doesn't have server admin/mod privliges
07:22:00sam686I guess i didn't use renice right, the way i used is -n but only changes one thread of a process priority..
07:22:00sam686... ps -Aj -f -H ..... renice 20 -g 1233 (1233 is PGID, which ever is eating CPU a lot)
07:23:00sam686-g changes all thread priority of one process
07:25:00sam686bitfighter now comes far less laggy now, timer.bot now says min=10 max=15 max used to go up much higher..
07:48:00Zoomberhow will this work on my other game server?
07:48:00Zoomberright now is now when most users are on
07:48:00Zoomberit allocates 2.5 GB of ram btw, thats where the ram is all going
07:50:00sam686i guess i found another way to change CPU priority... top... press shift+H ... press r .... enter process number ... enter priority (19 is lowest, -20 is highest)
07:51:00Zoomberok
07:52:00sam686it seems like if that server have only 1 CPU, and your cpu / RAM eating is kind of slowing down the server...
07:53:00Zoomberthe ram is all pre-allocated
07:53:00sam686the RAM available is ok, but the CPU is kind of not very ok...
07:57:00sam686i will need to go, bye
08:00:00Zoomberok
08:00:00Zoomberbye sam

16:38:00raptorerr when would it be normally if you kept the 'schedule'...
16:42:00raptorwatusimoto / Watusimoto_ i gave you apoint on stackoverflow
16:45:00watusimotooh hey, thanks a lot
16:45:00watusimotowas transferring my domains away from godaddy

16:46:00watusimotoand judge for yourself
16:46:00watusimotothings marked 016 are for the coming release, 016a will not be done now
16:46:00watusimotowhen would the next BBB be?
16:46:00watusimotonext BBB B?
16:46:00raptorhar har
16:48:00watusimotowhen is the new version of sdl due out?
16:48:00raptorno timeline yet - but they are in a heated debate on whether to drop the SDL_COMPAT layer
16:49:00raptorok not so heated - it looks like everyone wants them to drop compabitibility
16:49:00raptorcompatibility
16:49:00raptorand make is SDL 2.0
16:49:00raptorit
16:50:00raptorbut i'll see it when i believe it - SDL 1.3/2.0 has been in development forever
16:50:00raptorkind of like bitfighter 016
16:50:00raptor:)
16:52:00watusimotoI see...
16:52:00watusimotohey a quick question
16:53:00raptorok
16:53:00raptorC
16:53:00raptortrue
16:53:00raptorumm... 42
16:53:00watusimotoyou found that the alt-enter alt key thing is not a problem on linux, right?
16:53:00watusimotohar
16:53:00raptorcorrect
16:53:00watusimotodo you think we should fix it on windows, especially since we build sdl from source?
16:53:00watusimoto(do we build it from source?)
16:54:00watusimotogiven that we (you) know how to fix it
16:54:00raptoryes, I built a later revision from source - sam686 had also built a revision where he removed the reset_keyboard portion from setvideomode
16:54:00raptorso we could use that
16:54:00raptorbut it wasn't thoroughly tested...
16:55:00watusimotoI'm thinking we should try it
16:55:00watusimotoit will get tested while we develop, as every time we switch modes (which i do a fair bit), we'll know if it's broken
16:57:00raptorok, let me look for sam's patch again...
16:58:00raptoractually, i need to fix a linux compile error
16:58:00raptornow this is an error I have never seen before: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant
17:02:00raptorinteresting
17:02:00raptorpreprocessor collision
