17:08:22 AMiGR but chances are that you'll get a big fat crash
17:08:24 AMiGR lo kindergip
17:08:29 kindergip :)
17:08:34 BinoX lol yeah.. I know xD
17:08:38 BinoX hello :)
17:08:43 kindergip :)
17:08:56 kindergip so nice to be acknowledged pre-coffee
17:09:03 BinoX Don't suppose you know how to get the AOS version in c?
17:09:07 BinoX heh
17:09:17 BinoX or in fact use virtual.gadget
17:09:18 kindergip nope...I am a hanger on
17:09:29 BinoX lol
17:09:31 kindergip like to listen to the smart people

18:15:16 BinoX Can u tell me how to get the AOS version in C? ^_^;;
18:18:40 nicomen hm
18:19:59 itix SysBase->lib_Version or so

18:30:28 BinoX Thanks for the version code :) Works well ^_^
18:38:36 nicomen first or latter?
18:39:23 BinoX first
18:42:26 BinoX Here's a general c question... And I can't remember how to do it... How do you combine 2 string variables into 1?
18:42:33 itix strcat
18:42:45 BinoX wow, fast answer :) thx
18:42:49 itix strcpy(s, str1); strcat(s, str2);
18:43:09 itix or sprintf(s, "%s%s", str1, str2);
18:43:38 BinoX heh.. thx again :D
18:43:53 BinoX It shows that I haven't used c for quite a while doesn't it xD
18:45:40 itix http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Function-Index.html#Function-Index
18:45:47 itix i recommend that as a reference
18:46:12 itix if it is not there you dont need it :)
18:46:17 BinoX lol ok :)
18:46:18 BinoX Thanks
18:46:34 BinoX Better than my "C for Dummies" book which I bought many years ago xD
18:49:03 itix i never had C book and i learnt C only few years ago ;)
18:51:23 BinoX heh.. I like to have books for quick reference... but that book isn't much good beyond printf

19:38:09 BinoX hi
19:44:09 nicomen hi-ho
20:01:39 BinoX Hmm.. is there any way for a reaction object to exist on top of another reaction object?
20:01:43 BinoX gadget
20:01:46 BinoX er.. thing
20:01:48 BinoX lol
20:02:49 nicomen guess you need a new window
20:03:41 BinoX Well.. more like a label that floats close the another gadget when you click on it
20:04:00 BinoX i.e. you click a textbox and a label appears above it that says what just happened
20:06:22 BinoX Hmm.. not sure a new window would do it though.. 'cause I need the label to stay above the element even if it gets scrolled off the viewable area in a virtual gadget..
20:10:08 nicomen hm
20:10:28 nicomen if you are thinking of help bubble thing, isn't that already implemented?
20:10:33   <-- BinoX has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)

20:25:07 BinoX Hello again :D
20:25:29 nicomen ;)
20:26:09 BinoX Heh... was having a look at emperor and it locked my system... xD
20:26:57 BinoX I'm not thinking of a help bubble thing exactly..
20:27:43 BinoX I just want a way to overlap objects...
20:29:30 BinoX basically I'm working on a css enabled browser.. and I can't think of another way of doing position: absolute than to position something on top of something...
20:30:11 BinoX If it can't be done then I'll probably have to do a lot more coding writing a lot of custom stuff :(
20:30:21 BinoX ... but I'm lazy.. lol
20:30:46 BinoX parser is done, sockets are done, gui is kinda done..
20:31:53 nicomen are you using reaction to place the various object?
20:31:57 nicomen crazy
20:32:11 BinoX lol yeah.. at the moment 'cause it's easy to do that way
20:32:41 nicomen poition: absolute, fixed and of course relative, staic ++ when the parent container is fixed
20:33:21 BinoX basically I just need a way to make objects float on top of objects.. heh
20:33:37 BinoX or gadgets
20:33:40 BinoX whichever xD
20:33:45 BinoX I get confused
20:34:40 BinoX I guess the easiest way would be to render the objects then use some kind of blitting function to move them around the screen...
20:35:31 BinoX Hmm.. is that even feasable?
20:39:37 nicomen I'd forget about reacton in the html page area ;)
20:39:40 nicomen or any other gui
20:39:44 nicomen tool kit
20:40:23 BinoX I just wanted to use reaction for buttons and string objects and checkboxes etc
20:40:43 nicomen ah
20:41:15 BinoX but of course, they'd have to sit on top of the html elements
20:42:04 BinoX and if they're in a div which is floating above some form elements then it gets really tough.. heh
20:42:29 BinoX Guess I'll have to make custom everything xD
20:46:13 BinoX Unless... I make a hidden window full of elements which I then map to a part of the html rendering and it updates the hidden ones and returns an image of it... somehow

21:56:13 BinoX Yeah.. heh
21:56:34 BinoX Hunting down tutorials for graphics.library atm :)
21:57:22 nicomen BinoX: where are you from?
21:57:33 BinoX UK
21:57:36 nicomen ah
21:57:45 nicomen Ami603: he wants to have floating reaction classes
21:57:55 nicomen thinking position: fixed in css
21:57:58 nicomen think
21:58:11 Ami603 nicomen: i don't think it can be done right now, but i could be wrong
21:58:23 Ami603 but
21:58:38 nicomen yeah I was thinking new window on top, but that's just plain wrong ;)
21:58:58 Ami603 maybe you can force GA_Left, and GA_Top on each gadget, though
21:59:12 nicomen or his purpose I'd probably use a rastport of some sort and add reaction gadgets to it if possible
21:59:22 nicomen for
21:59:36 nicomen then draw everything not GUI-ish "by hand"
22:00:04 Ami603 just render your imagery to a bitmap, blit it to your rastport, then redraw over it your gadgets at the desired position?
22:00:34 Ami603 i guess that would need custom refreshing aswell
22:00:38 nicomen might want to look at aweb source too
22:02:35 BinoX I've been looking through the aweb source.. a little hard to follow heh.. but I guess most useful code is.. lol
22:02:37 Ami603 hm, too big to look right now, i guess he needs smaller examples to get used to AmigaOS coding
22:04:10 BinoX lol.. U missed it the other day... I forgot about strcmp.. ^_^;; Gotten to used to coding under windoze
22:04:14 BinoX too*

22:16:53 BinoX Well, looks like I'm gunna have to do a lot of "manual labour" when writing this... I wonder how ppl did it in aweb... 'cause if I "draw" it, then how will I make the text selectable... Unless I position more reaction elements... but then I'm back to the problem of if there's text on text.. heh
22:21:03 Belxjander BinoX: make all the text you draw entered into a "text" derivative of a ReAction "text" gadget with the appropriate settings?
22:22:12 BinoX But how would I get that positioned nicely?
22:22:24 BinoX i.e. if I had to place it on top of something
22:22:54 Belxjander ahhh good question...
22:23:09 Belxjander I have the same issue in an old project I was writing in 68K assembler for an awebplugin
22:23:29 BinoX If I could place reaction objects on top of each other it'd be easy.. heh
22:23:30 Belxjander I had to drop it in favour of doing some other projects instead
22:23:35 BinoX ah
22:25:58 BinoX It's too bad there's no parent/child windowing structure, otherwise I could cheat it..
22:26:29   <-- number6 has quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
22:27:29 BinoX I guess I could detect mouse clicks and track the position and do some calculations as to what has been selected.. gah! there's gotta be a better way

23:14:37 number6 Hi Varthall
23:15:01 Varthall hey
23:15:05 nicomen ciao
23:15:42 number6 Varthall: Got any interest in running some tests on IV3.x, IV4.x, and IV5.x files with "AMP"?
23:16:08 Varthall would gladly do, but not tonight
23:16:24 Varthall got some work to finish on PC @_@
23:16:37 number6 ok. Just let me know when you feel like it. I will give you links to quality "sample" files and my setup.
23:16:53 Varthall ok
23:17:20 Varthall anyway I already have AMP here
23:17:31 number6 OS4 or WOS?
23:17:44 Varthall os4
23:18:01 number6 Got the xanim codecs?
23:18:15 Varthall hmm
23:18:27 Varthall yes
23:18:39 number6 ok
23:18:47 Varthall xanim.mp
23:18:49 Varthall xanim.amp
23:19:10 number6 no. wrong ones for IV3.x, IV4.x, and IV5.x
23:19:56 number6 Heh! I thought we were going to talk about this some other night....
23:20:27 Varthall most probably I fell asleep that night
23:21:10 number6 Me too.
23:21:45 Varthall these days I'm giving a go to warp3d
23:22:22 Varthall I've tried to find a solution for the "random lockups" problem I'm having
23:22:54 Varthall I've tried many thing but without success
23:23:05 number6 Is it worth the effort if warp3d is going to be replaced by gl?
23:23:36 Varthall at least I'd like to finally play to Wipeout and Shogo ^^
23:23:40 Varthall with
23:24:09 Varthall I've never played them... also I'd be very interested in Quake3 when it will be released
23:24:21 Varthall in this case I'm speaking of MiniGL of course
23:24:34 Varthall but it gives me the same problems
23:25:12 Varthall how's 3d acceleration working with you?
23:25:30 number6 I don't use much. Warpview functions perfectly.
23:25:45 number6 I don't do games. Too much else.
23:25:51 Varthall Radeon 7000?
23:26:42 number6 Yep
23:27:29 BinoX "random lockups"?
23:27:33 number6 ...and I've tested some warp3d programs for devs. All work (as much as radeon 7000 driver does at this time)
23:28:02 number6 Transparency is "no go" at present on 7000.
23:28:41 number6 Varthall: Your graphics card again is...?
23:29:13 SixK good night
23:30:02 Varthall 9200
23:30:18 Varthall might be related to the drivers
23:30:35 Varthall which might be well still in beta
