00:38:44sam686hi Watusimoto, now I am around..
00:39:28Watusimotohi sam
00:39:37Watusimotoyou should try our new player notifier
00:39:53Watusimotocan you download anything from here?
00:39:54Watusimotohttp://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8029210
00:40:01Watusimotonot sure if you need a login or not
00:41:29sam686ok, will see how it works...
00:41:33Watusimotocan you download from there?
00:41:40Watusimotoif so, grab the rar file, the last on the list
00:41:53Watusimotoinside there is an .exe
00:41:56Watusimotothat's all you need
00:42:09sam686ok
00:42:37WatusimotoI'm going to bed very shortly, but if you can;t grab it, I can send you the exe
00:44:28sam686already got it...
00:45:54Watusimotogreat
00:46:16Watusimotoit's not perfect, but it's good, and its definitely usable
00:46:31Watusimotothe only real drawback is that it's in c#
00:46:46Watusimotowhich I can;t compile (yet)
00:48:10Watusimotooh, and I wanted to ask if you know why BF opens a terminal window briefly when running in release/standalone mode
00:48:45WatusimotoI think you fixed a bug a while back regarding things not printing to the console in release mode when running from a cmd window, and I think this may be related
00:49:09WatusimotoI'm happy to figure it out, but was just wondering if you remember what you did to fix that bug
01:04:20Watusimotook, got to get to bed. I'll check this log tomorrow.
01:04:25Watusimotogood night!
01:04:49sam686ok
01:04:51Watusimotooh, and if you have any concerns about the notifier, please let me know... I'm going to approve the work done tomorrow.

01:05:19sam686Wasn't sure how to prevent command window from popping up while allowing command line to output..
01:05:55sam686But at least I found a way to hide the command window if not from command line..
01:06:34sam686previously, it was SubSystem = windows which makes command line not output at all, never..
01:06:48Watusimotoit's all complex and messy
01:06:50Watusimotosadly
01:06:53sam686Subsystem=command allows command line output, but may have command popup
01:07:06Watusimotois subsystem a project setting?
01:07:09sam686yes
01:07:22Watusimotook, well, I hope we don't need to choose
01:07:36Watusimotooddly, cmd window does not appear when running in not-standalone mode
01:07:52Watusimotoso it may not actually be releated to subsystem
01:07:52sam686I don't think nearly anyone cared about that command window popup for a few second..
01:08:25WatusimotoI only care at the moment because in standalone mode the window takes our good icon and, for some reason, the game gets a crappy one
01:08:26sam686maybe if started from debugger, command window might not popup..
01:08:49Watusimotoso the game looks awful in the task bar
01:08:55CrazyLinuxNerd_2 Quit (Client Quit)
01:08:57sam686could set the good icon after setting SDL window graphics..
01:09:07Watusimotothat's a thought
01:10:43Watusimotook, well, later!
01:10:49sam686later..

18:04:27SlightRemorsehey Watusimoto
18:18:52Watusimotohi
18:19:52Watusimotogotta go for a bit, but I'll approve your task tonight
18:19:54Watusimotogood work

19:23:19Watusimoto has joined
19:24:32Watusimotohi
19:26:05WatusimotoSlightRemorse:
19:31:36Watusimotoone final bug I've found
19:32:08Watusimotowhen you suspend your computer with the notifier running, it will report a connection error when you unsuspend.
19:32:26Watusimotodid you ignore errors after the first one as we discussed?
20:15:09SlightRemorseit should
20:15:13SlightRemorsedunno why it happens like that
20:17:52SlightRemorseIt should only report wrongly typed urls
20:17:55SlightRemorsepast the first check
20:18:03SlightRemorsecheck also refreshes if you pause it, though
20:18:06SlightRemorseso if you pause and it fails
20:18:08SlightRemorseit'll report an error
20:18:24SlightRemorseother then that it shouldn't really drop errors
20:19:21YoshiSX has joined
20:22:22YoshiSmb Quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
20:22:49Slight_Remorse has joined
20:22:57Slight_Remorsealright I just tested the application by suspending my internet
20:23:12Slight_Remorseit won't throw -ANY- errors after the first check
20:23:44Slight_Remorsebut if you try to launch it without internet it will display the erorr message
20:23:57Slight_Remorsedunno how exactly suspending screws with it.
20:24:10Slight_Remorseor wait, I think I know what the issue might be
20:24:18Slight_Remorseon Win7 suspending turns off your ethernet adapter
20:24:28Slight_Remorseso when you log in fast enough you log in with still connecting adapter
20:24:34WatusimotoI'll bet that when unsuspending, the internet is not immediately available
20:24:37Slight_Remorseand then you might get the error about not being able to aconnect
20:24:41Slight_Remorseyeah
20:24:43Slight_Remorsethat could be it
20:24:45Watusimotoyes
20:24:51Watusimotoso two easy possible solutions
20:25:03Watusimoto1) have it fail twice in a row before alerting
20:25:07Slight_RemorseI can make the first error
20:25:11Slight_Remorsealso appear with a flag
20:25:15SlightRemorse Quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
20:25:22Slight_Remorsebasicly I left the invalid URL error
20:25:34Slight_Remorsewithout flag since I figured it should always alert if the url is 'loldfsafdasurlnotreal"
20:25:42Slight_Remorsebut I guess no connection results in the same thing
20:25:48Slight_RemorseI think I can easily fix that thing
20:27:51Slight_RemorseI think I might've fixed it now
20:28:10YoshiSmb has joined
20:28:47Slight_RemorseNow all the errors are flag dependant
20:29:41YoshiSX Quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
20:31:09WatusimotoI don't understand the flag
20:31:12Watusimotowhat does it do?
20:31:28Slight_Remorsebasicly there's a simple flag to check if this is the first attempt of the program to run the thing
20:31:35Slight_Remorseif said flag is raised it would display errors
20:31:40Slight_Remorseif it's not it would ignore errors
20:31:54Slight_Remorseand think of the errors as the user just having bad connection or the server being down
20:32:17Slight_Remorsebasicly it's used to determine if this is the first time the program runs
20:32:37Slight_Remorsethought i had left the invalid URL outside of flag check as I figured if it's a bad url it'll be caught the first time anyway
20:32:38Watusimotobut if its already running when you suspend, then unsuspend, the flag will not be set, and you'll still get the errors I get
20:32:43Slight_Remorseyeah
20:32:45Slight_RemorseI fixed that now
20:32:47Slight_Remorsehopefully
20:32:50Slight_Remorseuploaded a fix
20:33:13Watusimotoso what about waiting for it to fail twice in a row before showing the error?
20:33:42Slight_Remorseit could fail pretty fast, the web request thing isn't that slow to throw errors
20:33:55Slight_Remorsenow it's just flag dependant
20:34:01Slight_Remorseso unless you run it with your connection offline
20:34:07Slight_Remorseit won't throw ANY errors further on
20:34:23Slight_Remorsemeaning that if it runs properly once it'll run properly for the rest of it's work time
20:34:26Watusimotooh, I see
20:34:30Watusimotook, good then
20:34:31Slight_Remorseonly exception is pausing
20:34:37Slight_Remorseif you pause the flag is reset
20:34:47Watusimotobut if you suspend, it isn't
20:34:51Slight_Remorseyeah
20:34:55Watusimotosounds good
20:35:06WatusimotoI'll grab the latest
20:35:10Slight_Remorsesee if you can replicate the error.
20:35:26Slight_Remorseyou were getting the invalid URL eror
20:35:36Slight_Remorseyou were getting the invalid URL error
20:35:37Slight_Remorsenot the "wrong url" one, right?
20:39:17Watusimoto_ has joined
20:39:47Slight_Remorseworks now?
20:40:07Watusimoto_yes. I closed the task.
20:41:44Slight_RemorseAlright. Hopefully it'll work well and not cause any problems later on in bitfighter's life. :)
20:42:11Watusimoto_Slight_Remorse: like I said -- really pleased with your work. when gci is over (or even before) you're always welcome to work on the project
20:42:24Watusimoto_if there is a problem later, I can fix it because I have the source!
