IRC logs for #opendune on OFTC at 2009-09-27
⏴ go to previous day
12:14:54 <Xaroth> it's quiet today as well :o
12:16:18 <Xaroth> holy shit people are alive!
12:16:27 <Xaroth> booting up LiveAndroid
12:17:11 <TrueBrain> I am trying to master xul :p
12:17:21 <TrueBrain> but 1.8 and 1.9 differ in some nasty parts
12:18:19 <TrueBrain> port OpenDUNE to it! :p
12:18:31 <Xaroth> I still have to figure out how that all works
12:19:17 <Xaroth> loving the whole 'gesture' response.. to my mouse...
12:19:35 <Xaroth> who needs a scroll mouse if you can click+drag and let go
13:15:37 <Xaroth> TrueBrain: once I figure out where ALL the buttons are for android it might even be an option, yes.
13:23:42 <Xaroth> hah, apparently, 94% of the people that visit the forum use firefox
13:24:00 <Xaroth> followed by 5% for safari :P
15:37:08 <Xaroth> TrueBrain: You probably know this.. there's a few ottd servers around that run a 'modified' binary of the 0.7.2 version (in such a way that 0.7.2 clients can join and play on it), with different game rules (goal servers mainly) .. how does GPL apply to them and the changes they made
15:37:21 <Xaroth> do they have to release those changes at all?
15:38:26 <glx> only if they distribute the exe I think
15:38:51 <Xaroth> so they can run the server, without sharing their code?
15:39:16 <Xaroth> I noticed that it's a bit awkward, that their servers show up in the master server list more than once
15:39:57 <glx> that's because they found a way to fool master server
15:40:12 <Xaroth> so i thought i'd have a look at their code to see what they did to do that
15:40:40 <Xaroth> to then notice that PeterT (I should slap myself for being amazed at that) had put his own request for the code up on their forums
15:41:15 <Xaroth> with a response from them that they are not publicly available
15:53:51 <Xaroth> think an easier sollution is to nuke them off the MS list until they fix their shit :P
15:53:56 <Xaroth> than me trying to find their code
16:13:09 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v Xaroth
16:13:09 *** ChanServ sets mode: -o TrueBrain
17:07:58 *** Guest17 has joined #openDune
19:26:18 *** TrueBrain has joined #openDune
19:58:18 *** Xaroth sets mode: +o TrueBrain
20:15:32 <TrueBrain> Xaroth: as the code is GPL, any modification made to it should be made available on request (by GPL). Also, I have suggested to ban all those IPs which show up more than once (mostly because they just abuse our system
20:15:41 <TrueBrain> but I was hold back by others
20:16:53 <TrueBrain> (I have zero tollerance to people who abuse free systems :p)
20:17:44 <TrueBrain> glx: this 'fooling' you talk about is in fact just starting a server at multiple ports. Only since 0.8 this is handled nicely in the MSU
20:19:04 <TrueBrain> Xaroth: above that, any person who does not want to share his modifications to an open source project he made the modification to, is of zero interest to me now and ever in the future :p Those people are just the worst of the world :p (okay, maybe a bit harsh, but it is really sad that those people exist :p)
20:21:57 <TrueBrain> oeh, the bitch is back :) (refering to myself, of course)
20:22:01 <TrueBrain> and a hello to you all :)
21:00:40 <Xaroth> I'm tempted to create an account and point him to that fact
21:01:37 <Xaroth> TrueBrain: surely nobody would mind a system that 'denies' listing of servers if there's already one active with a certain name? :P
22:47:16 *** PeterT has joined #openDune
23:25:18 <glx> let's hope he will forget this chan :)
continue to next day ⏵
