09:41:04 OrginWork Yes doing it again will help alot.
09:42:22 jahc I'm showing nicomen, and anyone else who has a monospaced font
09:42:50 OrginWork Why not post on a web page instead?
09:44:46 jahc I didnt realise you were going to get stroppy over nothing.
09:46:51 OrginWork It was a suggestion.
09:47:10 OrginWork That way you can show it off in the font of your selection.
09:48:35 jahc ok
09:49:06 nicomen Use http://utilitybase.com/paste for huge pastings ;)
09:49:41 nicomen anyway, you made it in here: http://irc.utilitybase.com/amigadev/2006-01-18.txt
09:52:44 jahc damn. looks a bit shit. I think I'll stop now hehe
09:58:13 OrginWork jahc: Could do an ascii art editor as your next project.
09:58:32 nicomen only lamers use ascii editors!
09:58:33 nicomen ;D
09:59:02 OrginWork I see.
09:59:29 nicomen <3 cygnused
09:59:34 jahc how many kg is 10lbs?
10:00:36 OrginWork jahc: http://hemsidor.torget.se/users/b/bohjohan/convert/conv_s.htm
10:00:39 nicomen ask google
10:00:44 OrginWork it's in swedish but should help.
10:00:50 nicomen http://www.google.com/search?hs=8W9&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&q=10lbs+in+kg&btnG=Search
10:01:00 nicomen http://www.google.com/search?q=10lbs+in+kg
10:01:03 jahc nicomen: I'm not usually this lazy with finding info. i just thought it might be quicker here.
10:01:16 nicomen 10 pounds = 4.5359237 kilograms
10:02:02 OrginWork (look at the page I suggested, it's quiet useful)
10:02:53 nicomen http://www.google.com/search?q=160+pounds+*+4000+feet+in+Calories haha
10:03:48 nicomen even has currency didn't know that
10:03:52 OrginWork Is that human feets?
10:04:13 nicomen 0.30 meter
10:04:18 nicomen normal feet
10:04:50 nicomen 1 feet = 0.3048 meter (q=1 fett in meter)
10:04:59 OrginWork Okey that joke didn't get through.
10:06:15 nicomen oh, didn't get it
10:06:28 nicomen as in eating the feet?
10:06:55 OrginWork Yes, calories, meat, feet
10:07:10 nicomen I was expecting you quarreling about it only supporting one kind of feet, and not the samoan or hi-german feet used in the early 1700s or something
10:07:18 nicomen heh
10:09:56 nicomen heh there is an US "feet" which differs with 610 nm ;D

10:13:45 jahc whoops
10:14:15 nicomen you deserved it!
10:16:27 jahc nicomen..
10:16:33 nicomen yes?
10:16:37 jahc is overlay supported in SDL on OS4?
10:16:51 jahc I dont know much about overlay except that it does resizing in hardware..
10:16:58 nicomen seriosuly, I'm not really sure what people mean by overlay
10:17:09 nicomen oh, I doubt that
10:17:28 nicomen some people call the alpha-support in cgfxv4 overlay it seems
10:17:47 jahc it would be great if pictures could be resized in hardware to avoid slow scaling routines
10:17:49 jahc in software
10:17:57 nicomen true
10:17:57 jahc when I say pictures I mean graphics
10:18:03 nicomen you can do it with opengl though
10:18:12 jahc I want to play MAME at a good speed on the A1
10:18:20 jahc I can get 45 fps which is pretty smooth
10:18:28 OrginWork overlay, assigning a piece of vmem to render directly into?
10:18:58 jahc 45 fps in a small window on workbench
10:19:12 nicomen OrginWork: yeah, I thikn the PiP thing was an overlay implementation for p96
10:19:22 jahc I wonder if Hyperion have made optimisations in SDL for UPdate4
10:19:34 nicomen it's normally overlay if when you move a window the content ha problems keeping up ;)
10:21:26 OrginWork Seems some harwdare can support overlay with alpha. For transparent overlay.
10:22:09 nicomen yeah I think they use that in mplayer for morphos

20:55:42 antique hehe
20:56:08 antique i've got a chr *,but the command need strptr. how? when? where?
20:56:20 zerohero it's the same
20:56:28 zerohero char * == strptr
20:56:36 zerohero strptr * == char **
20:57:17 antique but if i use "ram:" it worksm,but if i use progs[n] it wont work.. :(
20:58:46 zerohero char progs[maxnumbers]; ?
20:59:46 zerohero if it's declared as above, progs[n] == char
21:00:12 zerohero progs == char * == strptr
21:02:01 antique gonna do a printf to se that progs[] isn't empty.
21:07:03 antique ops! progs[] empty. hehe
21:08:22 antique stupido me
21:19:55 antique char *progs[20];
21:30:20 zerohero hmm
21:30:26 zerohero <-- needs betatester
21:30:31 zerohero +a
21:30:39 zerohero for os4 that is
21:31:00 zerohero nicomen: i suppose you don't have your miggy there and if you do, you don't have the latest sdk?
21:32:06 antique what you need betatester for?
21:32:17 zerohero an os4 betatester
21:32:36 antique saw that,but for whaT?
21:32:40 zerohero i get a wierd error when trying to compile auto opening code for rexxsyslib
21:33:17 antique ok!

21:34:52 zerohero the interfaces/rexxsyslib.h seems to have an error
21:34:54 afxgroup hello
21:34:59 zerohero hi andrea
21:35:09 zerohero how are you?
21:36:07 afxgroup fine thanks
21:36:31 antique hmm. progs[1] = sys:tools/editpad. but when i do:
21:36:49 antique if (icon = GetDiskObjectNew("progs[1]"))
21:36:58 antique it won't enter the loop
21:38:04 zerohero progs[1] = "sys:tools/editpad";
21:38:15 zerohero if (icon = GetDiskObjectNew(progs[1]))
21:38:39 zerohero maybe if (icon = GetDiskObjectNew(&progs[1])) even?
21:38:46 antique can try

21:50:29 antique seems like there is a problem with my progs[]. its filled with a buffer. but if i do:
21:50:37 antique progs[1] = "ram:";
21:50:51 antique if (icon = GetDiskObjectNew(progs[1]))
21:50:53 antique it works
21:51:43 antique progs[n] = strdup(buffer1);
21:52:31 zerohero strdup() ?
21:53:43 antique void *strdup(char *str)
21:53:44 antique {
21:53:44 antique int n = 0;
21:53:44 antique char *s;
21:53:44 antique char *d;
21:53:44 antique char *mem;
21:53:46 antique if (!str) return NULL;
21:53:48 antique s = str;
21:53:50 antique while (*s)
21:53:52 antique {
21:53:54 antique n++;
21:53:56 antique s++;
21:53:58 antique }
21:54:01 antique if (mem = AllocMem(n+1,MEMF_FAST))
21:54:02 antique {
21:54:04 antique d = mem;
21:54:06 antique for (s=str;*s!=0;s++)
21:54:08 antique {
21:54:10 antique *d=*s;
21:54:12 antique d++;
21:54:14 antique }
21:54:17 antique *d = 0;
21:54:18 antique }
21:54:20 antique return mem;
21:54:22 antique }
21:54:24 antique something wrong here then?
21:54:29 zerohero no idea
21:54:46 antique its a duplication code.
21:54:51 zerohero but shouldn't strcpy(progs[1], buffer1); do?
21:55:01 antique might do,gonna try that.
21:56:56 antique should be a C for amiga dummies. :)

23:09:04 antique zerohero: the strcpy() crashes my machine.. :(
23:09:22 zerohero ok
23:09:32 zerohero i guess the pointer isn't initialised
23:10:27 antique mean by that? can it be fixed? how?
23:13:45 zerohero instead of char *progs[whatever number]; you could try char progs[number of strings][number of chars in each string];
23:18:00 antique i use it in the same way as i did?
23:19:57 Varthall (looks like the latest official SDL requires to have programs linked against pthread, even if they don't make use of it)
