payloaddAkiva-Mobile: the "Alt" button functionality is the HUD. Did you find a bug report for that? I am also annoyed by it sometimes but didnt searched yet20:18
Akiva-Mobilepayloadd: no, I didnt search for a bug report, was busy arguing on qt-qml as to why unity is actually a great frontend :P20:19
Akiva-Mobilepayloadd: so its called the HUD eh?20:20
payloaddhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/HUD20:20
Akiva-Mobileyah, I fell in love with it pretty quickly.20:20
payloaddthere is a hack to activate it in Eclipse… never clicked through these huge menus ever again :)20:21
payloaddI managed to get my mouse interaction in Inkscape and GIMP to a minimum, cause of the HUD :) which is pretty impressive for image editing software :)20:21
Akiva-Mobilepayloadd: Oh my gosh, gimp is the worst for menus :P20:23
payloaddbzoltan1: you was in the "installing and configuring the SDK" UDS session. Do you know how to activate HUD integration for QtCreator ubuntu sdk in 12.10?20:24
payloaddAkiva-Mobile: nevermore20:25
Akiva-MobileHeh, I love unity for that. strong enough for a newb, but made for a developer.20:25
payloaddits just not easy to put that much functionality into hierachies/trees20:25
Akiva-Mobilewell, now I am a bit more dedicated to finding a solution.20:26
Akiva-Mobilepayloadd: I was thinking though that it might fix itself if unity goes through a qt rewrite; what do you think?20:27
payloaddno, it is implemented with the help of a library called something like global app menu20:28
payloaddit depends on the integration of the application menu with a system wide service20:28
payloaddand this ultimately depends on the libaries the application uses beneath... though I can't see why a supposedly Qt5 menu doesn't integrate20:29
payloaddthe bug is on the Qt5 or global app menu side… not unity20:29
Akiva-Mobilepayloadd: huh, go figure20:30
Akiva-Mobilepayloadd: if that could be fixed, I might be coaxed into dropping geany20:30
Akiva-Mobilepayloadd: you said you got it to work with eclipse?20:30
payloaddenough. go find the bugreport or report it please :)20:30
Akiva-Mobileokay20:31
payloaddyes, eclipse has a menu which, when I understand it right, was difficult with the global app menu (cause it changes, entries get added and removed, maybe breaks the global app menu)… so it was hardcoded into global app menu to not use the Eclipse menu… the fix is a  $  sed s/Eclipse/Xclipse/    on some .so file of global app menu… I was not amused20:33
payloaddmostly it works but not as qualitatively as wanted by the global app menu people20:34
Akiva-Mobilegeez this is annoying. trying to sign up for a account on qt bugreports, and firefox keeps auto capitalizing my username, which has to be all lowerspace.20:35
Akiva-MobileAHHH this is so annoying, bloody firefox...20:36
* Akiva-Mobile goes joins #firefox20:37
ali1234people actually use global menu?20:41
payloaddali1234: yes, the hud is okay. I'm looking forward to libcolumbus for an even better experience20:43

dank101ooo21:58
dank101whats your app :D21:58
Akiva-Mobiledank101: World of Tactics :P21:59
Akiva-MobileIts a game with some rather ambitious goals. For one, I want to tile the world !21:59
ali1234unpossible21:59
ali1234unless the world is flat22:00
ali1234or a cube i guess22:00
Akiva-Mobileali1234: heh, yah.22:00
Akiva-Mobilecube though gives less than 30 percent variation in surface area22:00
Akiva-Mobilewhich is good enough for me.22:00
dank101Or if there's curved tiles22:00
Akiva-Mobilehttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=211905522:01
Akiva-Mobiledank101: They won't be curved when I render them.22:01
ali1234seriously though, unwrapping (projecting) sphere is pretty hard to do and maintain a sensible playing board22:01
Akiva-Mobileali1234: Its logical, you just need the resources22:01
ali1234"Your problem is one to which cartographers have devoted several centuries of research and development." +122:02
Akiva-Mobileall you need to do is reverse the algorythim of your projection that you are using, and apply the cubed sphere algorithim, convert it to a cube,22:02
Akiva-Mobilegrab the 6 planes, divide into pictures, and use the data to generate tiles.22:02
ali1234problem with your sphere-cube thingy is the local anomalies at the corners22:02
ali1234other than that it's pretty good22:03
Akiva-Mobileali1234: Yah, basically :P22:03
Akiva-Mobileali1234: I could do a work around where the top two spheres are either seperate servers, or just not present at all.22:03
ali1234the latter is what most games do22:03
Akiva-Mobileor just try to force them into my game :P22:04
Akiva-Mobile"if you yell at something long and hard enough, anything is possible"22:04
ali1234you could just skip tiles entirely22:04
Akiva-Mobile-Akiva22:04
Akiva-Mobileali1234: to me it seemed most pragmatic for managing server load, and doing seamlessness22:05
ali1234just have units move along geodesics22:05
Akiva-Mobilenot to mention developing.22:05
Akiva-Mobilegeodesics?22:05
Akiva-Mobileah22:05
ali1234very simple on a sphere22:06
Akiva-MobileWell I want to introduce a sim city element to this game.22:07
ali1234zoom in to a flat grid22:07
Akiva-Mobileif you hold territory, you can develop cities.22:07
ali1234like ufo/xcom (original)22:07
Akiva-Mobileali1234: You do realize that my scale is going to be absolutely massive.22:07
Akiva-Mobilewow, xcom :P what memories22:08
ali1234yeah, you'd select site on the globe to build a city, and then zoom in to a flat 2d view22:08
ali1234it would limit the size of cities22:08
Akiva-Mobile43,200,000 x 21,600,000 is my image size I want to aim for.22:09
ali1234but then the interesting part of a city usually does not cover 20% of the land mass22:09
Akiva-Mobileali1234: basically my goal was to grab tiles from a map provider, as they load their images in the forms of tiles, and then create an interpreter which would use data from that and input it into a huge database, which the database would then be used to generate 3d model files.22:10
ali1234sounds crazy, good luck :)22:11
ali1234i would play that game22:11
Akiva-Mobileali1234: Thanks! Its actually a cross between wot, and front mission.22:12
ali1234front mission :)22:12
ali1234loved it22:12
Akiva-MobileI love both of those games, but was terribly dissatisfied by their development22:12
Akiva-Mobileyes, front mission was my all time favourite game on the snes22:12
ali1234did you ever play mechforce on amiga?22:12
Akiva-MobileNo, never owned an amiga :(22:12
ali1234it's like front mission with hexes and more realistic simulation, but worse graphics22:12
Akiva-Mobilesorry, disconnected22:13
ali1234you would probably love it if you liked xcom and front mission :)22:13
Akiva-Mobilereally?22:13
ali1234ya really22:13
ali1234i did a remake of it22:13
Akiva-MobileFront mission online was a game developed, but they messed it up in my opnion.22:13
Akiva-Mobilereally?!22:13
ali1234but it's unfinished - no AI22:13
Akiva-Mobileah22:13
Akiva-Mobileon launchpad?22:13
ali1234no22:14
Akiva-MobileIs it opensauce?22:14
ali1234my website is down at the moment22:14
ali1234yeah source is available22:14
Akiva-Mobilenice22:14
ali1234it's python and pygame though22:14
ali1234anyway you';re better off playing it in emulator22:14
Akiva-MobileI'd like to take a look anyways.22:14
Akiva-Mobilebut with fm online, they failed because they made it completely realtime,22:15
ali1234when my website comes back it's at http://al.robotfuzz.com/~al/md/22:15
ali1234mecjforce has a really unique real time *and* turn based system22:15
ali1234never seen anything else like it22:15
Akiva-Mobilenever seen that22:15
Akiva-Mobilebut that was my aim22:15
Akiva-Mobilemore or less~22:16
ali1234every action takes a certain amount of time22:16
Akiva-MobileI wanted to take a sort of interesting approach, where you could develop your own ai to idle your vehicles while you slept, or something like that22:16
ali1234there's a global clock and when your action completes it stops and you enter your next action22:17
Akiva-Mobileand that you have the option of controlling a multiple amount of units.22:17
Akiva-Mobileali1234: Hmm, interesting.22:17
ali1234but the best thing about it is your mechs have full location based damage so every component can break and have different effects22:18
ali1234hey, a vidya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz3e2hpbo5022:18
Akiva-Mobileali1234: Mechs always bothered me from one standpoint; they are realistically impractical.22:19
Akiva-MobileFront mission tried to be a bit more pragmatic in their conceptualization, but it seems as if executives got a hold of it and ruined the canon and everything.22:20
ali1234yep they're impractical in mechforce :)22:21
ali1234they tend to explode for no reason all the time22:21
Akiva-Mobileit now is resemblent of gundam and all that nonsense.22:21
ali1234heat is the biggest enemy in the game22:21
Akiva-Mobileheat as in, "HEAT" shells? or temperature?22:22
Akiva-Mobileas in, "high explosive anti tank" warheads~22:22
ali1234temperature. they are basically walking nuclear reactors22:22
ali1234still, even if unrealistic, it makes for a fun game where you can shoot legs off other robots etc22:24
Akiva-Mobileali1234: Well the real "realistic" part is that almost nothing can stand an anti tank shell; it will pierce just about anything.22:25
Akiva-Mobilehttp://i1-mac.softpedia-static.com/screenshots/Basic-Hex-Map-Sphere_2.jpg?1358698981 I also considered this for a bit22:25
ali1234i see pentagons22:25
Akiva-Mobileyep22:25
Akiva-Mobilebut I wondered if it would convert to a massive map.22:26
ali1234well you'll never get rid of the pentagons22:28
ali1234like you can never get rid of the corners with the cube22:28
Akiva-Mobileali1234: What if I try yelling at it?22:29
