IRC logs of Freenode #BZFlag for Monday, 2020-04-27

the_mapZehra: think F7 does that00:01
the_mapnot sure about on rabbit hunt specifically, but multiple hunts are possible00:02
Zehrathe_map: I believe you misunderstood what I said.... For instance on rabbit chase mode specifically....00:02
blast007rabbit chase might tap into the hunt system instead of doing it's own thing00:02
ZehraIf there is a new "rabbit" selected, all additional or other players "hunted" will simply be "removed" from "hunt".00:03
Zehrais selected*00:03
ZehraThe sole player being hunted, will now be the rabbit.00:04
ZehraSince the client actions would vary if a change would be introduced in the current protocol, I assume this would only be suitable within a protocol break.00:05

ZehraSeems grabbing flags and dying may possibly lead to odd issues in game client.02:01
ZehraClient HUD "rotates" counterclockwise in spinning motion. Awaiting for respawn does not lead to it occurring.02:02
allejohuh02:23
blast007Zehra: by "HUD" what do you mean?02:25
Zehrablast007: The 3D view and radar.02:26
blast007well those are two different things02:26
blast007the HUD is not the 3D view02:26
blast007HUD = Heads Up Display.  It's the overlay over the 3D view.02:27
blast007https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-up_display02:27
blast007so you're just saying that your camera spins around while dead?02:28
ZehraYes.02:29
blast007how do we reproduce it?02:29
blast007cuz like, "grabbing flags and dying" isn't really descriptive02:29
ZehraI'm unsure, but the last things which happened were the tank falling, landing on a flag and getting shot with laser, also possibly jump "triggered" to jump upon landing.02:31
ZehraJust kind of putting it out there, someone else might have seen something similar happen, so increased possibility of finding bug.02:31
allejoah yes, another tragic victim of gravity02:36

The_NoahWhen I start BZFlag (2.4.20) it's stuck on a black screen then goes Not Responding. It was working fine yesterday, and I think I had the issue with 2.4.18 once as well.04:45

blast007The_Noah: check the contents of your config file.  Is there anything strange with it?11:07
BZNotify2.4 @ bzflag: blast007 pushed 1 commit (https://git.io/Jfq8D):11:45
BZNotify2.4 @ bzflag: blast007 c3d232: Bump version to 2.4.21. (https://git.io/Jfq8y)11:45
blast007The_Noah: and if you do find the config file is the problem, could you send it to me?  I've never been able to reproduce a bad config file, but it has happened to enough people that I'd like to figure out what config file content makes the game break.11:47
blast007as for Zehra's issue, without looking at the code, my guess is that there's some out-of-order handling that caused the jump to be registered after the death, which updated the local tank's state to something else (like InAir) instead of Exploding14:37
blast007hmm, though I guess InAir is a location, not the state.  So maybe it's having the 'Falling' state mixed with 'Exploding', or just 'Falling' by itself (so, Dead + Falling).14:43
The_NoahIn the config what is `startcode` ?16:23

blast007The_Noah: startcode is an encode string for the Start Server settings17:32
The_NoahAh.17:32
The_NoahI deleted my config file, but it still has the same issue. I also deleted the cache folder and still broken. Would you like me to still send you my config?17:32
blast007nah, if it's failing without a config, then it isn't a config issue17:34
blast007is it only with 2.4.20?17:34
The_NoahI had the issue once recently with 2.4.18, but I believe it went away by itself. Should I install an older version to see if it has the issue as well?17:35
blast007yeah, if you want to17:35
blast007just want to make sure it's not something with the new release :)17:36
The_NoahOkay.17:36
The_NoahI have the issue with 2.4.10 and 2.4.18 as well.17:39
