03:16:07 zerohero ey, wegster
03:18:28 wegsterWork hey
03:24:11 wegster whatcha up to?
03:24:30 zerohero not much, can't sleep
03:24:39 wegster zerohero, what time is it there?
03:25:09 zerohero 04:24 :)
03:25:15 wegsterWork heheheh oops?
03:25:20 wegsterWork so start coding something ;-)
03:25:21 zerohero yeah, big oops :)
03:25:29 wegsterWork at least no work tomorrow, right?
03:25:35 zerohero no, no work
03:26:01 wegsterWork start coding ;-)
03:26:04 zerohero hehe
03:26:21 zerohero i have tons of projects, not sure which one to actually finish ;)
03:26:23 wegsterWork or google me a sane place to find valid eclipse info so I can finish my damned os4 cross-compile under eclipse doc 'cleanly'
03:26:30 wegsterWork ALL of them of course, silly@
03:26:34 wegsterWork s/@/!
03:26:34 zerohero hehe
03:27:49   <-- Rigo has quit (Leaving: Client Exiting)
03:27:49 zerohero i guess you're working as usuall?
03:28:09 wegsterWork naah actually just needed another login while vpmed in to walk through some rh crap with alchemy
03:28:28 zerohero red hat?
03:28:45 wegsterWork yeah
03:29:02 zerohero fedora core 4, or what is it called now?
03:29:08 wegsterWork don't have a rh box at home, all bsd/gentoo/solaris b/c rh blows, so needed to access one to verify some filenames etc
03:29:21 wegsterWork not sure what he's on, I don't touch fc at work, rhes and as only.
03:29:52 zerohero i only know one fedora users, he's very happy with it
03:30:01 zerohero tho it's the only linux he's tried :)
03:30:08 wegsterWork fedora is ok for home use, not for stability or a production server.
03:30:18 zerohero i otoh have only seriously tested debian
03:30:21 wegsterWork support is WAY too short, and too much 'bleeding edge' in it for a real box.
03:30:43 zerohero bleeding edge is good ;)
03:30:56 zerohero that's why i stick to debian :D
03:31:22 wegsterWork rofl, deb isn't bleeding edge at all
03:31:35 wegsterWork but deb is pretty stable/solid, just apt-get kinda annoys me, not enough time spent with it
03:31:41 zerohero it's not? *shocking*
03:32:10 zerohero apt-get, aptitude, synaptic all good imo
03:32:25 zerohero tho i found aptitude a bit slow
03:32:50 wegsterWork lol re BE
03:36:19 zerohero that didn't make much sense?
03:36:26 zerohero lol i get, but re be?
03:55:08 wegsterWork re bleeding edge
03:56:08 zerohero ah :)

12:44:41 nicomen hi
12:44:56 zerohero i can't get easyrequest() to show % in es_textformat
12:45:02 zerohero and hello :)
12:45:24 zerohero it's supposed to be rawdofmt() but %% doesn't work
12:45:53   --> der_grimm (~der_grimm@28a85a1b.de6498d.net-htp.de) has joined #AmigaDev
12:47:29 nicomen *% or '% maybe?
12:48:12 nicomen hm
12:49:16 zerohero printf("%s\n", buffer); shows that they're there
12:49:31 zerohero they just don't work in es_textformat
12:49:36 zerohero that's just bad
12:49:54 nicomen ok
12:51:32 zerohero "Formatting '%' functions are supported exactly as in RawDoFmt()" from the easyrequest autodoc, which apparently isn't true
12:53:35 nicomen 3.x or 4.x?
12:55:45 zerohero 4.x
13:06:39 zerohero uhm
13:06:57 zerohero rawdofmt() doesn't support %% even?
13:07:22 zerohero i tried the messagebox() code from testapp.c in sdk:examples/reaction
13:07:29 zerohero still no % sign in there
13:08:22 zerohero sprintf(buffer, "text2: %s\ntext2: %ld B\ntext3: %ld%%\ntext4: %ld B/s", ...);
13:08:48 zerohero if i printf("%s\n", buffer); it works
13:34:37 zerohero anyone awake?
14:07:53   --> number6 (~user@398d5d27.31b34b44.dialup.citynet.net) has joined #AmigaDev
14:07:58 zerohero hey :)
14:08:03 number6 Hi
14:08:09 number6 What is the program?
14:08:25 zerohero http://zerohero.homeip.net/~zerohero/shxpk.lha
14:08:29 zerohero sory
14:08:31 zerohero +r
14:08:33 zerohero http://zerohero.homeip.net/~zerohero/zhxpk.lha
14:08:52 zerohero it's just a small app to pack stuff with xpk
14:09:15 number6 Let me take a look...........
14:09:24 zerohero it saves the resulting file in the same dir as the original, with .xpk ending
14:11:27 number6 This looks strangely like the original interface for xpk.
14:11:58 zerohero original interface?
14:12:08 zerohero you mean the prefs program?
14:12:38 zerohero never were a gui packer supplied with xpk
14:12:51 zerohero but i take it it hasn't crashed yet
14:12:53 number6 Huh?
14:13:07 number6 Wait a few minutes..........
14:14:10 number6 zerohero: I meant to say (I have this on my Micro) that it looks like XPKatana interface.
14:14:42 zerohero ah, yes, to some degree it does, it was the inspiration ;)
14:18:49 number6 zerohero: OK. I had an .idx (index file uncompressed from Collector). I had also saved this file with Collector using SHRI. For my test...I loaded the uncompress .idx into your GUI and saved again as SHRI. Your resulting file was "smaller" than the one I saved through Collector. Yet my prefs were at 100% in both. Any idea why?
14:18:50 zerohero thanks for testing, now i can continue with some bits and pieces, it doesn't crash and burn on other setups :)
14:19:42 zerohero uhm? what do you mean by "smaller"
14:21:19 zerohero i don't know what collector is, but if that saves uncompressed files, and then you pack them with xpk, using my gui, it should get smaller
14:21:20 number6 Saved through Collector in SHRI the file reads 191,505, the same file saved in SHRI with "your" interface reads 182,684. Smaller packed size.
14:21:29 zerohero oh?
14:21:41 number6 Collector interfaces with xpk...to be clear.
14:22:10 zerohero maybe it was able to pack it further? seems odd, but i see no other solution...?

14:30:58 racs hi
14:35:14   --> Rigo (~repairs@Rigo.Amigaworld.Net) has joined #AmigaDev
14:36:02 number6 zerohere: Tried another test with a bog standard iff image using SHRI in both XPKatana and your program. Resulting byte count from XPKatana:752,572. From your interface:752,464. Difference in header info perhaps?
14:40:54 zerohero number6: wierd
14:41:32 zerohero not sure what xpk saves tho, might have to check that out
14:41:57 zerohero number6: and why shri, btw? bzp2 os4 is by far the best/fastest packer?
14:44:08 number6 zerohero: I'll try bzip on the same file and report back. I used SHRI, because prior to native bzip, it gave the best compression for bog standard .iff filetype.
14:46:47 number6 Correction: Testing with PPC native "gzip.xpk".
14:51:54 number6 zerohero: Using PPC native gzip.xpk my test file was identical in size using either interface. Size:741,080
14:53:17 zerohero number6: that's good at least
15:01:06 number6 zerohero: I retested the same .iff file with SHRI and my results still showed the same as above. 68k Katana interface behaving differently in some way. That would be -your- department, not mine.
15:03:24 number6 zerohero: Note gzip absolutely "flies". Are their plans (or already done) to port any other of the sub-libraries?

15:04:25 nicomen max
15:04:26 zerohero number6: bzp2 and gzip are the only one that's os4 native, afaik
15:04:40 migthymax hi all and nicomen
15:04:50 racs does anybody know how can I find out what went wrong, id icon.lib/IconControl function does not return the amont of the processed tags exactly?
15:05:02 zerohero number6: imo no more are needed, bzp2 is, as i said, by far the best packer, and it's fast enough on os4
15:05:18 zerohero nicomen, max, racs!
15:05:40 nicomen 0her0
15:06:21 racs zerohero
15:06:47 racs I guess the precision tag cannot be processed, but it is just a guess
15:07:22 zerohero wouldn't know, only loaded app icons and done tooltype stuff
15:08:32 racs no, it was not the precision tag
15:08:55 racs it seems only for old iconformat I got no data back
15:09:56 racs myabe it does not work for non-palette mapped icons
15:10:36 number6 zerohero. Agreed.
15:11:29 zerohero number6: if xpk_datatype and rgfx datatype were ported, maybe there are packers that show better results on sound and images, tho
15:12:19 number6 zerohero: It is obvious that the wide array of choices in previous xpk had a lot to do with tradeoff in speed vs performance. That is not an issue now. So best compression is the way to go. Period.
15:13:06 zerohero number6: now we only need some programs to actually use xpk then ;)
15:13:54 number6 zerohero: Agreed.
15:14:55 number6 zerohero: Do you want the AW link to where we had a little discussion on this? Or did you have it already?
15:35:04 zerohero number6: no, don't have it... please post. will be away a while tho
15:45:55 number6 zerohere: Didn't want to pollute this channel, so look in private tab please.

21:21:12 Coder question
21:21:23 zerohero shoot
21:21:46 zerohero just saw your question on ub.com, same?
21:21:49 Coder iconfy and uniconfy of windows: I got the code for both and set the tag in the window but nothing is happening. Is there need of something else too?
21:21:57 Coder nah different one.
21:22:22 zerohero ah, you need to create and attach a msgport
21:22:40 Coder got that
21:22:51 zerohero struct MsgPort *msgport = IExec->CreateMsgPort();
21:22:52 Coder I thought I needed it and I set it up.
21:23:05 zerohero WINDOW_AppPort, msgport,
21:23:20 zerohero if you're using sharemsgport it won't work

21:24:45 Coder I think this is one of those moments I was coding when I should be sleeping
21:24:50 zerohero hehe
21:27:18 Coder yeah I think I made a mistake. Let me check if it works now
21:30:15 Coder works
21:30:28 Coder I had it also in the wrong place and the define of it was wrong
21:30:38 Coder good heavens I missed out on the time
