« on: June 26, 2004, 10:28:00 pm »

Finally succeeded - the first big and proper #bay12games chat. Some highlights:
...
Introductions
<ToadyOne> So, what kind of hours have you been keeping?
<zip> late the last few days

...
Play my game Toady!
<zip> arrow keys btw
<zip> I think you'll get the idea
<ToadyOne> couldn't load image font7x9.gif
<ToadyOne> fmod is up to 3.7.1?  I'm only on 3.6.0.
<zip> doh!
<zip> comment line 154 of system.vc
...
Solo programming is hard
<zip> keeping momentum when you run into problems is the hard thing
<zip> too easy to backshelf stuff and go help someone else for a bit
<zip> (what I'm doing atm)
<zip> trying to get a battle engine for someones game. with lots of teeny soldiers
<ToadyOne> those games are fun to write
...
It does work, really
<zip> did you comment that like and get the exe to run?
<zip> line
<ToadyOne> oh I thought you were talking about the log for some reason
<ToadyOne> let me go try
<zip> 154
<ToadyOne> the loadfont line?
<ToadyOne> cannot resolve identifier afont
<zip> ...
<zip> i'm on it
<zip> an the next line
<zip> but that really is it
<ToadyOne> that works
...
Play my game Zip!
<zip> is there anything to do on the planet maps?
<ToadyOne> no
<ToadyOne> this is like a few days work...  there is nothing
<ToadyOne> the combat isn't even combat
<ToadyOne> this is kind of next in line after armok and the dwarf game
<ToadyOne> it's all about the bits though
<ToadyOne> the little floating bits
<zip> you're even better than me at multi projecting
<zip> how do I get into a fight?
<ToadyOne> right click on a blue dot
<ToadyOne> then click on a red dot
<ToadyOne> there should be a line that forms between them
<ToadyOne> then speed time up
...
Help me!
<ToadyOne> did you see the big bits?  like half a plane all jagged and spinning off?
<zip> I'm slightly stuck on my card formats
<ToadyOne> bits!
<zip> YES!
<zip>  :)
<zippedmartin> router reset
<zippedmartin> zip pingtimeout....
*** Signoff: zip (Ping timeout)
<ToadyOne> there it goes


Many hours and much sillyness later
<ToadyOne> and I've also lost track if we are talking about the quality of the music or what they look like
<zip> does it matter?
<zip> I lost track in this chat several hours ago
<ToadyOne> perhaps you are feeling slightly tired
<zip> nah
<zip> a little hungry perahps
<ToadyOne> indeed.  I haven't eaten since I got up 6 hours ago.

Oh dear.
