July 15th, 2015 by Diana Coman
danielpbarron: crashed [00:04]
mircea_popescu: yeah [00:21]
mircea_popescu: back up now danielpbarron [00:25]
mircea_popescu: i wish i knew wtf this is. [00:25]
danielpbarron: i think server is down, but it has a ping on the login page [00:52]
danielpbarron: was acting funny so I tried to relog [00:53]
danielpbarron: won't let me log back in, says "The server is not running or is not reachable." [00:53]
danielpbarron: probably keys again. one of the last things I did was put keys in storage [00:54]
mircea_popescu: heh. [00:55]
mircea_popescu: try now ? [00:56]
danielpbarron: now works [00:56]
mircea_popescu: it was actually being ddos'd. [00:56]
diana_coman: mornings [01:18]
diana_coman: ha ha mircea_popescu you crashed the server by running around the craft-table? [01:23]
hanbot: ftr at crashtime i was right clicking on heina [01:24]
mircea_popescu: omfg stop fucking with the keys [01:24]
hanbot: no dirt skatin' around! [01:24]
hanbot: i had locked a tiny like 1 min ago but otherwise no key activity...? [01:24]
diana_coman: me neither [01:24]
mircea_popescu: hm. /me pulls his hair [01:25]
diana_coman: unless whatever, the keys had their own activity in my inventory or smth [01:25]
danielpbarron: it crashed right as i logged back in after logging out to fix a graphical glitch [01:25]
hanbot: keynspiracy [01:25]
mircea_popescu: whgen this bug is found ima dedicate an afternoon to slowstomping it [01:25]
diana_coman: I also had again that shitty graphical glitch when the character is at an odd angle and it almost jumps rather than walking [01:25]
mircea_popescu: anyway server back in 10 mins [01:26]
hanbot: ty mircea_popescu [01:26]
hanbot: diana_coman i did a real life impersonation of that walk on the street the other day [01:26]
diana_coman: fwiw, it seems to have to do with getting out of the right position or something, as first person camera was basically not first person anymore [01:26]
diana_coman: ha ha [01:26]
diana_coman: hanbot that must be the best bug report ever [01:26]
hanbot: :D [01:27]
mircea_popescu: up [01:27]
diana_coman: wow, I'm back all the way, lol [01:28]
mircea_popescu: hot damn... [01:49]
mircea_popescu: so i got dc'd just as i was alwamost done with an improved craft [01:51]
mircea_popescu: FIFTH FUCKING TIME TODAY [01:51]
mircea_popescu: 10 minutes --> 1 hour :((( [01:51]
diana_coman: now I don't always get exp points in gathering while gathering? [02:13]
diana_coman: (exploring) [02:13]
chetty: a couple people have mentioned this but I cant recreate it, any further info on how/when it happens would be appreciated [02:16]
diana_coman: it happened now with an improved cruddy hoe [02:16]
diana_coman: it was working fine earlier, not really sure what is different other than that I changed tool [02:16]
diana_coman: well, exploring and NOT finding anything [02:16]
diana_coman: so no claim [02:16]
chetty: ahh well maybe it is something with that tool, I think jurov mentioned that, but then later it worked .. [02:17]
diana_coman: it was also like hiccups: sometimes it WOULD give exp [02:17]
diana_coman: just...like once per every 4-6 tries [02:18]
diana_coman: and it seems to be related to that tool somehow, chetty, as I changed the tool and no problem, switched back to it and again problems [02:20]
diana_coman: it's actually an improved cruddy hoe [02:20]
diana_coman: fwiw [02:20]
chetty: ok thanks, I'll try to debug that some today [02:22]
diana_coman: uhm, scratch that: now I get some glitches with a pickaxe too... [02:22]
diana_coman: unless it's again those damned messages and some get lost on the way [02:22]
diana_coman: as it happens apparently some times with those mod messages for the bundle [02:23]
danielpbarron: chetty> a couple people have mentioned this but I cant recreate it << sometimes i "get no experience" and then later it shows up when I hadn't /explored [02:25]
danielpbarron: laggy experience [02:25]
danielpbarron: going by what outputs to the in-game chat box [02:25]
danielpbarron: not any sophisticated debug output [02:25]
danielpbarron: welp i guess i crashed it again [02:29]
danielpbarron: i feel like it happens a lot when i go over to the NPCs after /exploring for a while [02:30]
danielpbarron: i had just trained one skill and was about to do another [02:30]
danielpbarron: crashed inbetween trainings [02:31]
chetty: up again, this is really odd, I cant figure out why its always you, and always something to do with keys [02:31]
danielpbarron: as far as i know, I have only "new" keys now [02:32]
danielpbarron: oh i noticed that my keys that have turned into bits of nothing in my storage, retain the key description including the type of claim and the coordinates [02:32]
danielpbarron: the resulting bits of nothing can not be stacked [02:33]
danielpbarron: i have not attempted to use any of them [02:33]
hanbot: fwiw i hit an /explore right about when it crashed, didn't see any 'you got' messages. on reset, i have a new key in my inventory, says crafter is MM [02:34]
danielpbarron: sucks that it probably interrupted mp's crafting again; guess i can't trade for those CFTs tonight [02:34]
hanbot: (and that key is indeed for the marker i apparently found from that pre-crash /explore) [02:35]
chetty: that could create problems down the line, that key may never go away [02:37]
chetty: is anyone else keeping keys in storage? danielpbarron has to be doing something different that it is always him and the keys [02:39]
diana_coman: I certainly have some keys in storage too [02:39]
hanbot: i don't [02:39]
hanbot: actually apparently all tiny claim keys i get are MM-crafter branded [02:46]
hanbot: and the berries i dug up earlier tonight (from own claims) say daniel barron crafted 'em haha [02:46]
diana_coman: I still have the no-exp problem, so it wasn't dueg to the crash or somethin [02:50]
chetty: going to take server down for a couple minutes to try and pin down crashes cause if no one objects [03:50]
chetty: done [03:54]
chetty: server reset coming up [08:04]
chetty: done [08:05]
mod6: chetty: so as far as the "doesn't give exp when gathering" problem; a few things I've noticed while farming. Typically I'll start with a new tool, doesn't matter which, and it'll be giving exp just fine. Another pre-condition here is that server lag is low. And as I move along and mine (/explore) every 30 seconds or so, it'll mostly give me the exp. But as the tool wears down, then it seems to me that it starts to skip exp. [10:17]
mod6: It seems to me this is especially true right before it runs out. As well as success of /explore, goes way down -- which may be by design. [10:17]
mod6: This also can seem to rear its head if there is signifigant server lag. Maybe a race condition somewhere? [10:18]
mod6: Anyway, just my 0.00000002 ecu worth :] [10:19]
mod6: thanks for all your hard work [10:19]
mircea_popescu: \x08<\x08diana_coman\x08>\x08\x0F unless it's again those damned messages and some get lost on the way << honestly this seems by far the most probable explanation. [10:28]
mod6: ah. [10:31]
mod6: makes sense. [10:31]
mod6: aside from the weird "you struggle under the weight of your inventory" problem, everything else worked pretty good for me yesterday. [10:32]
lobbesbot: New post: http://trilema.com/category/smg/feed/ Eulora Sunday Event - July the 19th <http://trilema.com/2015/eulora-sunday-event-july-the-19th/> [10:35]
mircea_popescu: jurov prolly get a kick out of ^ [10:38]
chetty: is keeping an eye on danielpbarron so see if he still has magic keys that crash us [10:39]
chetty: and btw how is lag there atm? [10:40]
mod6: lemme hop in and check [10:48]
mod6: seems fine :] [10:49]
mod6: new sunday event \o/ [10:49]
danielpbarron: lag is ok [10:50]
chetty: server reset in 5 if no one objects [11:21]
mod6: fine by me. [11:25]
chetty: done [11:26]
chetty: cross your fingers I might have fixed the key crash issue [11:27]
mircea_popescu: o wow wd! [12:06]
danielpbarron: crashed! [12:28]
chetty: up now [12:29]
sueastside: chetty: isn't the PS core TCP only? [12:32]
chetty: uh, not sure what you are asking, they have a fairly complete networking protocol, although it is on our list of things to change [12:37]
chetty: server about to be reset unless someone objects [12:39]
sueastside: refering to the lost messages above, which could not occur using TCP, which has guaranteed delivery (and it also the cause of the lag issues) [12:40]
danielpbarron: wait 1 min on reset [12:41]
chetty: ahh well we got ddos a bit yesterday, not sure what all happened, in fact I have not actually seen any .missing messages by my logs [12:41]
sueastside: oh ok. [12:42]
chetty: a few discarded because they got out of sequence .. [12:42]
danielpbarron: ready [12:42]
chetty: done and back up [12:43]
chetty: oh sueastside since you are here, does it matter which the normals are making portals? [12:44]
sueastside: yes, portals are one sided (like meshes), so the face with the normal pointing out is visible [12:45]
chetty: hmm but I could put a transparent texture on it :) [12:47]
sueastside: Oh you just want to use it to teleport? [12:54]
chetty: I am trying out various uses of portals that might not be entirely 'standard' :) [13:22]
diana_coman: hello [14:54]
jurov: hello [15:01]
jurov: yest i put all my keys to storage, today i got bits o' nothing with crafter randomly everyone [15:02]
jurov: and the random getting of building/gathering practice points bug persists [15:02]
danielpbarron: lol i fell into the not-so-well-covered crator in the middle of the island [15:05]
jurov: try to fall deeper, in the bottom there's tepelort [15:10]
jurov: teleport [15:10]
chetty: oh poor danielpbarron I'll move you [15:10]
chetty: but you need to log out for a move to take properly [15:10]
danielpbarron: oh no i already teleported [15:12]
danielpbarron: was just a first for me [15:12]
chetty: oops [15:12]
jurov: first time? lol you never tried to go near edge of the map? [15:13]
chetty: jurov I sure wish you could give more detail, the random getting of ... isnt really very helpful for debugging [15:13]
danielpbarron: first time falling into that particular hole [15:14]
jurov: all i can say, that somethimes the points get added right, sometimes at random times [15:14]
jurov: did not find any pattern yet [15:14]
jurov: and sometimes not at all [15:15]
diana_coman: I think some messages are just received out of order/late [15:15]
diana_coman: I get that they are not lost in transit, indeed, but they are surely not always reliably distributed to listeners on the client [15:15]
chetty: the network software will throw out a message it thinks is out of sequence, you may not get a message even if the server has given you points if the connection is bad [15:20]
mod6: check and see if there is anything to mine down there next time dpb :) [15:23]
diana_coman: that makes perfect sense, chetty [15:24]
jurov: mod you either get stuck on the rim or fall down and get teleported [15:24]
chetty: I put the teleport in there after having to rescue jurov a few times :) [15:26]
danielpbarron: i think the laggy training points can cause tinkering to interrupt and fail [15:26]
chetty: well lag certainly could, but the training points would be effect not cause [15:28]
jurov: do i keep moving slower and slower or it's just my imagination? [15:28]
chetty: thought you flew around jurov? [15:32]
jurov: twas long ago [15:33]
chetty: well I havent screwed with velocity [15:33]
jurov: i logged in, walked across the map, mined some and find out walking back suspiciously slow [15:34]
chetty: stamina? [15:35]
mod6: < jurov> mod you either get stuck on the rim or fall down and get teleported << awe. i was trollin' anyway [15:35]
jurov: maybe, i died and seems bit better [15:36]
jurov: will measure next time [15:36]
jurov: danielpbarron: these keys that turn to bits of nothing are usually not problematic for me and can be used for tiny claims fine [15:38]
chetty: >> chetty was responding to jurovs question about where they will come form when the merchant is no more :P [15:40]
danielpbarron: i wish they would stack [15:45]
danielpbarron: the converted bits of nothing [15:45]
chetty: still working on that [15:46]
danielpbarron: aha if that's in the works then i'll just hold off on trying to use them [15:47]
danielpbarron: has like 10k bits or something [15:47]
chetty: lmao [15:48]
chetty: its not high on the list at this moment, so I wouldnt wait on it [15:49]
diana_coman: chetty, my 293 flotsam is gone :( [15:52]
diana_coman: or it went invisible [15:52]
diana_coman: I dropped it [15:52]
diana_coman: but it's nowhere to be seen [15:52]
diana_coman: sometimes it used to get a bit burried and difficult to find [15:52]
diana_coman: but now it's either really deeply burried [15:53]
diana_coman: or really missing [15:53]
jurov: danielpbarron: you can use them, thay just won't stack [15:53]
diana_coman: yes, truly very deeply burried, I barely got a teeny tiny corner of the label sticking out when tilting at odd angles :( [15:54]
diana_coman: phew, got it, but that was almost calling for a temporary move to the other side of the island, lol [15:56]
chetty: ow, glad you got it :) [15:57]
jurov: lesson? don't drop too heavy items :D [16:00]
diana_coman: ha ha, no jurov [16:05]
diana_coman: the trouble is when you drop them on a hill basically [16:05]
diana_coman: on the side of the hill [16:05]
diana_coman: but well, if one needs to go up the hill with a bunch of flotsam... [16:05]
diana_coman: crash? [16:11]
diana_coman: I was dropping keys, chetty [16:11]
diana_coman: but recent keys really [16:12]
danielpbarron: ya crash [16:12]
danielpbarron: was tinkering [16:12]
chetty: yeah keys sniff [16:14]
chetty: I am running out of ways to tackle these frackingkeys [16:15]
diana_coman: fwiw chetty, it seems to me that what happened this time might be that the sweeper became active on those keys while I was dropping them [16:28]
diana_coman: as now I got bits of nothing in my inventory for those that I did not get to throw out [16:29]
chetty: yeah I think thats right, still I need to find a way to protect against that, I think you moved it while it was being updated [16:31]
chetty: did everyone read the about the sunday event? [17:20]
jurov: yes. but i don't know why i'm supposed to get kick of it [17:21]
diana_coman: I've read it chetty :) [17:22]
jurov: "do something mysterious lucky" "there will be some new mysterious skills" all these secrets kinda wore me off [17:24]
diana_coman: the "one magical bit of nothing" sounds like a prize for the ...really faithful :)) [17:24]
chetty: hahaha indeed it does, I gotta find some time to actually play ... [17:25]
diana_coman: uhm jurov, I think it's not meant to be something mysterious to do really [17:25]
chetty: the downside of game dev ... [17:25]
diana_coman: chetty that's how/why I don't advance much on the bot: I play the game instead :))) [17:26]
jurov: so you thik it's mine and craft as usual and you'll eventually get it? [17:26]
diana_coman: yes [17:26]
chetty: yeah but if dontkeep fixing stuff people will start yelling .. [17:26]
jurov: "may be acquired through particularly lucky activity " [17:26]
diana_coman: but well, I'm not sure what "as usual" means for you [17:26]
chetty: well knowingmp might be just laying around again too [17:27]
diana_coman: yes, meaning that you need some luck too, which is anyway how you get good/better than average loot in any case [17:27]
diana_coman: ha ha, I seriously doubt it [17:27]
chetty: which is exactly why it might happen :P [17:28]
diana_coman: the post reads ... [17:28]
diana_coman: I get what you mean chetty [17:28]
diana_coman: it might happen, true [17:29]
diana_coman: I just said I seriously doubt it [17:29]
diana_coman: that's all :) [17:29]
chetty: well maybe I'll take sunday off and play all day :) [17:29]
diana_coman: relaxing on an island by the name of eulora - sounds good really :) [17:31]
danielpbarron: i like the game a lot better now that things take time [18:27]
diana_coman: out of curiosity danielpbarron: what is the longest it took for you so far to do/make something in game? [18:39]
danielpbarron: that would have to be... this Demeaning Urabihs Harness I'm wearing right now [18:45]
danielpbarron: oh what timing [18:45]
danielpbarron: if you factor in the time it took for the parts, it's especially the longest for me [18:45]
danielpbarron: but even the final tinker itself I think was at least a minute if not a few [18:46]
danielpbarron: the oil also takes a while [18:46]
danielpbarron: these are things I have made since actions started taking up time [18:47]
danielpbarron: I have probably made more complex things that would now take even longer, but when I made them it happened nearly instantly [18:47]
danielpbarron: like the pickaxe [18:47]
danielpbarron: or the bandar toolkit [18:47]
danielpbarron: I haven't been able to make these things again, since the world got limits [18:48]
danielpbarron: it's like ascii's complaint with input devices that have no feedback, like touch screens [18:48]
danielpbarron: a world with no constraints such as time [18:49]
danielpbarron: everything felt so exhausting even though they were taking less effort [18:49]
danielpbarron: now I can do other things while playing -- just tab away from game when some action is taking too long [18:51]
danielpbarron: my inventory appears to have a secret hidden spot somewhere [19:18]
danielpbarron: i have 3 mining techs stacked somewhere [19:18]
danielpbarron: thought they got erased because my inventory was full [19:18]
danielpbarron: but they are in the list for storing things [19:19]
mircea_popescu: jurov twas long ago << ahaha so cute! [20:27]
mircea_popescu: jurov i logged in, walked across the map, mined some and find out walking back suspiciously slow << left control switches run/walk by default. [20:40]
mircea_popescu: i know it pissed me off too till i figured it out. [20:40]
mircea_popescu: http://logs.minigame.bz/2015-07-15.log.html#t19:40:13 << bits have actually been craftable since bouquinism. [20:40]
mod6: < mircea_popescu> i know it pissed me off too till i figured it out. << that one didn't bother me as much as the TAB key ;) [20:42]
mircea_popescu: what's that do again ? [20:43]
mod6: all of a sudden, camera going everywhich way. [20:43]
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron i like the game a lot better now that things take time << me too. [20:43]
mircea_popescu: oh oh. yeah. confusing [20:43]
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron my inventory appears to have a secret hidden spot somewhere << your right hand. [20:44]
danielpbarron: my right hand had/has a pickaxe in it [20:45]
mircea_popescu: if your inventory overflows you get all sorts of items precariously balanced in your right hand [20:46]
mircea_popescu: take pickaxe off, there they come. [20:46]
danielpbarron: oh [20:47]
mircea_popescu: jurov : re kick - people will conceivably want coppers to bid with. [20:47]
mod6: needs moar ecu [21:02]
danielpbarron: crashed [22:23]
mircea_popescu: darn [22:24]
mircea_popescu: seems it was my char that did it. [22:25]
mircea_popescu: back [22:25]
mod6: thyme to mine [22:27]
mircea_popescu: hehe [22:30]
