[Bobboau]

I am going to have to anounce that I have officaly ran out of time, the last month or so of code work I've done has been sort of acounter to the suden stop that I knew was comeing.

this monday I started the new semester and I no longer have the half a day to play around with, my day goes now as such
7:00am - wake up
7:30 - leave for school
8:00 - arrive at school
11:00 (or 2:00 on tuesdays and thursdays) leave school for work
9:00pm - go home from work
11:00-12:00 go to sleep

this means I have only about 2-3 hours to eat, check mesages, do famly things and, do my homework wich I realy would like to try to do this year.

all this meaning that I will most likely have at most a few short hours during the weekends during wich I might be able to do ANY SCP codeing for the entire week, I'm going to try to get my current build up into CVS soon so all my bug fixes are in, but I am no longer (for the next four months at least) going to be able to get the level of work done as I have been able to for the last few months and especaly the last few weeks

so, doesn't this suck?
try an 8:00am calculus class

[Woolie Wool]

That must really blow.

[Taristin]

Awww.... Now what?

Sorry, but I just found those two lines extremely funny.

Bye for now, Bobboau (does that rhyme? ) Have fun in school.  Don't forget to sleep.

[J.F.K.]

Take care Bobboau, you are a treasure of this community

[Galemp]

As he leaves behind his trail of bugs for everyone else to squash...

Ah well. Good luck Bob, we'll miss you.

[Nuke]

bye bob!

here's a tip, take multiple daily stops at the local pub. its easyer to stay awake when you are drunk.

[Hellbender]

Don't sweat it Bob, some things are just much more important to the long run of your life than others.  Just remember somewhere in your schedule to take the time to relax and enjoy yourself.  Makes even the toughest moments easier to handle if you don't have a long term stress build up.

[Kazan]

i am in that boat too

i have to manage a coding project for CS309 - we have to have a fully working gui-intensive real-world-useable high-quality application done THIS SEMESTER

[Fr3z3r]

God dammit! Guys, don't leave... Or come back soon.

The community needs you. I mean it.

[Bobboau]

I'm not leaving, I just have no time to do anything usfull

and Kaz, that sound like fun

[Turnsky]

Build yourself something that could freeze time;)

ditto part a

probably on part b

[IceFire]

I hear all of you...this next week is going to be especially crazy and who knows what the year holds for essays, multimedia assignments, and general crazyness!  Enjoy yourselves...its only this fun once

[Flipside]

And lets face it, for Bobboau in the last 2 months, we have Specular lighting, 3d Shockwaves, Animated backdrops and a whole host of other little things
From Kazaa we have ongoing Networking and Multiplayer work as well as lots of stuff I haven't heard about

I think both of you have earned the right to leave things alone for a few months, besides, hopefully you'll have lots of shiny new ideas for the SCP when you are able to resume

Best of luck with the projects and schoolwork etc, if you put half the energy into that as you have put into us and the SCP, you've got it made

[Kazan]

what would really get my going is someone/something sucking me back into playing regularily..... I think my network code will do that

[DragonClaw]

Kazan, just curious, if I get a mySQL database loaded with required tables, and a PHP script that'll parse commands into the database, is it at all possible for you to perhaps make a small branch of the SCP to make certain calculations and punch them into the PHP script on the website to enter them into the database? Calculations like if an Orion was destroyed, enter command a command that'll delete $row["Orionship"] in the ships table or something like that.

This is for Fleet Wars by the way.

[Kazan]

the server directly connects to the database - not via the PHP scripts - you could theorectically write PHP software that would trigger every so often (hour or so) that would compare an old value set to a new value set and automatically manipulate your tables for you

ie the infrastruct looks like this

<+ + +> = UDP connection
<-----> = TCP Connection


FreeSpace 2 Game Client < + + + > FS2OpenPXO Server <------> MySQL

then the website would have

MySQL DB <------> PHP

[DragonClaw]

There's a problem with that though. an0n's mySQL database that I am using does not allow external connections(so he says), my brother is a professional coder and he does say that the server could run a link to the PHP script with the necessary values punched into the link.

[Kazan]

external connections = non-localhost connectoins

FS2OpenPXO can run on the same server as the mySQL
furthermore accessing mysql via php is stupid - take more code, more time at execution, lower performance overall, decrease security.

yes it can be done: should it be done? HELL ****ING NO -- i am a professional coder too.

fyi: all of the FS2OpenPXO stuff will be on one central server - ie one computer running both FS2OpenPXOD and mySQLD

so ou would have to write a program to fetch data from the central server in READ-ONLY mode and process it into your own DB
