TimRikercan you tell me why there are missing textures on some mesh objects in bzo? does addtexture at the mesh level work for all faces unless overridden? or does it have no effect if given on the base?02:47
TimRikerah. texture and addtexture are different in bzflag.02:57
TimRikertexture references for https://images.bzflag.org do not work? ONLY http: is supported?03:13

*** Sythos is now away: ...thinking...17:27
TimRikerbzflag calls the list server over ssl/tls, right? can't images share that support?17:27
TimRikerwho owns planet mofo? they run their own images server? does anyone else? This requires clients to manually add it to the allow list, right?17:29

TimRikerI had google create me a tampermonkey script to sort the group list by name, member count, etc on the adm panel. 1468 groups. bugsy.user the largest at 89717:43
*** Sythos is now away: ...thinking...17:51
*** Sythos is back17:54
blast007yes, BZFlag does for the list server and MOTD. But if we started to allow maps to use https URLs, older 2.4 clients (and servers) wouldn't be able to load the textures.18:09
*** Sythos is now away: ...thinking...18:10
*** Sythos is back18:11
blast007And mofo is the only one I know of that uses a third-party server.18:11
TimRikerk. was decal support ever working? I see addtexture, which adds multiple textures for surfaces, but I don't see anywhere that uses other than the first one.18:14
TimRikerI imagine graffiti over a repeating wall texture, but I don't see a map that does that, or even complete support in the code.18:15
TimRikerI guess one can add a billboard with a separate image and do it that way. Hmm. Do textures process alpha levels? I've not tested that either.18:16
blast007no idea if that was ever used (or tested)18:26
blast007(referring to addtexture)18:26
blast007alpha levels work18:26
blast007I've seen it used to create that wire grate effect on a platform. There was a map from ages ago that originally used geometry for that, but it caused a massive performance hit when you got near that platform because of all the individual collision checks. So I *think* they replaced that with a texture.  But maybe they just made an invisible single platform as the "solid" part and made the ...18:28
blast007... visible grate drivethrough.18:28
TimRikerI'll watch for that. Any current servers that you know use alpha textures?18:37
TimRikernevermind, I'll ask ai to run through them.18:38
blast007Louman's Church Yard probably does for the ghosts18:39

JuestTimRiker: Optic_Delusion runs planetmofo :)20:41
Optic_Delusionbut i will need Allejo to add the CORS headers20:42
Optic_Delusionthe Apocalypse map TimRiker is running now uses some images hosted at bzflag.org.  They appear to be loading properly.   If you get the special material name "LinkMaterial" working, it loads an image with alpha  20:48
TimRikerOptic_Delusion, let me know. yes, images.bzflag.org has the CORS header and loads, images.planet-mofo.com does not so they don't load. I'm still working on animated textures and physics.20:49
TimRikernot sure where the ghosts are supposed to be. I see window overlays here: https://bz.rikers.org/?viewmap=import-bzflag.thenoah.dev_5171.bzw&cam=free&pos=-203.6,33.3,236.9,-63.820:51

Optic_Delusionit badly needs. -set _jumpVelocity 20.120:52
*** Sythos <Sythos!~Sythos@user/Sythos> has joined #bzflag20:52
TimRikerI don't think the tree looks right: https://bz.rikers.org/?viewmap=import-bzflag.thenoah.dev_5171.bzw&cam=free&pos=366.5,33.3,35.4,76.220:52
TimRikerwhat badly needs the jump velocity? I don't remember if I added that setting to bzo or not yet.20:52
Optic_Delusionapocalypse. none of the jumps will work without it20:55
Optic_Delusionthe teleporter transparency looks good20:55
Optic_Delusionthere ya go !! tree good20:56
TimRikertree is better. probably not perfect? https://bz.rikers.org/?viewmap=import-bzflag.thenoah.dev_5171.bzw&cam=free&pos=345.3,46.7,47.4,68.820:57
Optic_Delusionthe texture matrix will be the candle flame, i think20:57

TimRikerthese candles? if so, they will show with animated textures when I get that: https://bz.rikers.org/?viewmap=import-bzflag.thenoah.dev_5171.bzw&cam=free&pos=60.5,62.1,8.1,-82.221:00
Optic_Delusionlooks like the rotation is wrong, of the various meshes in that tree21:00
TimRikerit looks like some billboards only have one face and the transparent face is culling the back faces. probably on my end.21:02
Optic_DelusionYES, They are one face... churchyard's roof looks like it has some drawinfo clouds {bubbles?}. they are moving.21:05
Optic_Delusionlook at the roof from the southwest.21:06
TimRikerclouds on bzo are spheres up high. That's supposed to be map specific so they should be high enough. I'll look at that too.21:06
TimRikergreat, now the clouds are up above the sky on that map. lol. at least they don't run into the roof anymore.21:09
Optic_DelusionI am now able to edit MOTD, and a lot more settings.  21:13
TimRikeron bz.rikers.org? I don't recall the groups I gave admin to, but it's forum groups. looking.. DEVELOPERS, BZADMIN, BBMODERATORS should all have admin on bz.rikers.org.21:27
TimRikeryou need to do central login in order to get admin. visible with an @ like in bzflag.21:36
*** Sythos is now away: ...thinking...22:16
JuestTimRiker: freecam controls yet?22:28
Optic_DelusionI don't know what I did, but after you shut down churchyard ( if that is what actually happened) i was able to see the operator panel. I could edit everything.  I scrolled down and took five screenshots.  MAybe it was because i had three tabs open with BZ servers on them22:29
Optic_DelusionJuest I was able to move around in obs, the tab key was UP, but i could not find the down key. 22:30
Optic_Delusionbug:  you can jump while inside an object with OO22:31

TimRikerJuest, sorry, was working on job work. :) entering settings or switching away from the tab should do a 5 second countdown pause. dropping flag is space or middle mouse.23:47
TimRikerOptic_Delusion, jump is up in free camera, and drop flag is down. so tab/space on keyboard. all in the help. "?"23:48
TimRikerOptic_Delusion, are you in one of the groups? I added three groups as admin on bz.rikers.org DEVELOPERS BZADMIN BBMODERATORS so people can get an idea of how the op panel works without installing their own docker image to play with.23:50
TimRikerJuest, where did you see a name admin option? that was before I added central login. now it's tied to central login groups.23:51
