04:50:45 <drcorporalklinger> I want to play the animation when the 256 tick triggers, stop after a loop, and restart at the next trigger.
04:50:45 <drcorporalklinger> However, the animation only ever starts on the very first trigger. It'll stop and never continue.
04:50:45 <drcorporalklinger> I've tried quite a few variations, from do-nothing and on trigger go to next frame, etc. Anyone know why it doesn't work?
04:50:45 <drcorporalklinger> ```item (FEAT_OBJECTS, object_banner0) {

05:17:50 *** TinoDid|znc is now known as TinoDidriksen
06:28:57 <peter1138> animation_frame will be 9 when it restarts, so it will stop immediately, right?
06:31:56 <peter1138> I dunno, I'm just guessing.
06:32:00 <drcorporalklinger> I had the same thought, so I've also tried
06:32:00 <drcorporalklinger> anim_control: return CB_RESULT_NEXT_FRAME;
06:32:00 <drcorporalklinger> anim_next_frame:return (animation_frame == 9) CB_RESULT_DO_NOTHING : CB_RESULT_NEXT_FRAME;```
06:32:00 <drcorporalklinger> Which doesn't seem to work.
06:32:00 <drcorporalklinger> And I've thought to make perhaps a separate counter that trigger increments and we check on the frame, but didn't find a good reference in the NML to figure out if that's possible or not.
06:32:14 <drcorporalklinger> Nah no worries, I've been beating my head against it for a bit hahaha
06:32:23 <drcorporalklinger> Wouldn't be suprised if it's something silly
06:32:51 <drcorporalklinger> I've also had frame 9 do
06:32:51 <drcorporalklinger> ```CB_RESULT_NEXT_FRAME | CB_RESULT_STOP_ANIMATION``` just as a guess
06:38:19 <drcorporalklinger> Oh shoot, wrong channel anyway, gonna move msgs
06:41:23 <peter1138> Tried `anim_control: return 0;`?
06:41:54 <peter1138> CB_RESULT_START_ANIMATIOMN means "start at current frame"
06:41:58 <peter1138> You want to start at 0.
06:48:50 <peter1138> drcorporalklinger ^^
06:56:33 <drcorporalklinger> Ooooh ok, I'll try that tmw!

20:31:54 <goddess_ishtar> mmtunligit: wait what?
20:32:11 <goddess_ishtar> > EVE launched in 2003, built on Stackless Python, a version of Python whose lightweight "tasklets" let a single server node juggle thousands of pilots at once. Fenris Creations did not just adopt Stackless; it became one of its most significant contributors.
20:32:39 <goddess_ishtar> THEY RUN PYTHON FUCKING *2.7?!*
20:32:57 <goddess_ishtar> this explains so much about Eve tbh
20:39:55 *** jfs_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
20:48:05 <_jgr_> Running a heavily concurrent service in any version of Python sounds like an absolute nightmare to me, I'm not surprised that they're not keen on touching stuff that's working
20:49:47 <goddess_ishtar> all of the really jank stuff like time dilation makes so much sense in hindsight

22:10:08 <peter1138> Apart from, it was a nice quiet evening, and then it got busy.
23:19:31 <_glx_> mainly because node24, and some dependabot PR
23:22:11 <_glx_> there are 2 dependabot PRs left, but they have issues
continue to next day ⏵
