[00:07:06] Yo. [00:07:21] So, Kerbal Space Program is cool and all. [00:07:55] But I wonder how hard it would be to use Unity to accurately simulate an internal combustion engine attached to a working lathe. [00:08:25] My guess is... really, really hard. [00:14:38] meep [00:15:10] Have you looked into FEA software? [00:19:44] Nope. [00:19:50] Is FEA used to simulate ICEs? [00:19:59] (Man, ICEs have the most ironic acronym ever.) [00:20:31] The details of combustion an fluid dynamics, yes. [00:21:08] Nice. [00:21:15] I should, like... [00:21:29] Get an actual job that involves this type of stuff. [00:23:43] For now, I'm submitting job applications for what I actually have professional experience with. [00:23:47] Software development. [00:24:05] you should develop FEA software [00:24:11] win/win [00:24:36] 'Ey, there's an idea! [00:26:47] Mechanical engineering! [00:50:05] https://i.imgur.com/R5XnIZo.gifv [01:33:11] I just submitted a cover letter where I mentioned Kerbal Space Program. [01:34:15] Whelp. Night, everyone! [02:01:18] hola [02:23:02] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: Introducing the Kommunist Space Program! Conquer space and seize the final frontier of production! [02:23:24] 1 Kruple required to play. [02:24:11] Kraaken: are you the real Kraken ? [02:24:17] si senor [02:24:26] i have returned after many years [02:24:33] So maybe water not into space? https://phys.org/news/2017-12-mars-absorbed-sponge.html [02:24:36] Has it been years? [02:24:43] i just forgot my bouncer password so i'm using my alt [02:24:43] uh [02:24:48] does anyone play openttd? [02:24:52] i think i popped in for a few secs back in august [02:24:57] Kosmonaut: The Kraken, much like the Ogdru Jahad, was locked in a crystalline prison. [02:25:10] Ezko_: what that [02:25:21] Open Transport Tycoon something. [02:25:28] It's like Transport Tycoon, but free. [02:25:28] deluxe [02:25:29] other than that, it's probably been like a year or so [02:25:34] and can be played online [02:25:40] discord has taken over as my main internet chat tool [02:26:01] i use irc, slack, discord, whatsapp, facbeook [02:26:05] facebook [02:26:14] no openttd players? :( [02:26:16] i want company [02:26:22] i'm so ronery [02:26:25] i play a little. nothing fancy [02:26:26] Kraken: I'm guessing Jebediah Kerman stood in for Anung Un Rama and ran into your prison, releasing you upon the universe as a plague. [02:26:36] Ezko_: sorry. Can't play right now [02:26:38] thats exactly what happened [02:26:42] Ezko: Too busy making the world into Poland in Civilization V. [02:26:46] ah [02:26:54] maybe i should play some civ too [02:26:56] or endless space [02:27:02] Action: Scolar_Visari basks in the glory that is a free civic per era. [02:27:08] Or Stellaris! [02:27:34] i've come back here because i'm on the hunt for modding peeps that know how to work with ai [02:27:50] ^ game ai, not literal ai [02:28:08] Kraaken: You've been gone a while, things have changed. In the interest of preserving the Kerbal species, game AI is limited to non-thinking machines. [02:28:20] Or whatever is responsible for pathfinding in RTSes since time immemorial. [02:31:48] Action: Scolar_Visari really wishes for a more sandbox oriented game of civilizations. [02:32:16] Scolar_Visari: don't have stellaris [02:32:40] cant wait for the new stellaris update [02:32:43] Furthermore: Why is Cleopatra the Egyptian ruler in Civilization VI? That's like choosing Genghis Khan for the ruler of China [02:33:09] what [02:33:15] Kraaken: I hope that jump and psi-drives stay similar to what they are now, though the thought of Mass Relays is intriguing. [02:33:22] why would it be anything but ramses ii [02:35:11] Ezko: I always thought Narmer would've also been interesting. Ramses II having been done to death. [02:36:34] Cleopatra is more akin to a Empress Dowager Cixi [02:37:00] Also, Trajan as Rome's ruler? Not Octavian or Julius? Why not Marcus Aurelius or, teehee, Caligula? [02:37:46] Kraaken: Well, aside from being Hellenic, Cleopatra (as well as her other Ptolemaic predecessors) totally excluded natives from the government and military. [02:37:50] why not Odacer [02:37:53] lel [02:38:44] Djoser! [02:39:01] Action: Scolar_Visari would totally buy a Caligula leader DLC for Civilization, so long as Malcolm McDowell did the voiceovers. [02:39:31] UmbralRaptor: First of his name, King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Vanquisher of Set, Herald of Horus! [02:40:33] :D [02:41:31] to expand upon my earlier point tho, im looking for someone who knows a thing or two about modding ai (specifically what paradox calls "ai") [02:43:41] Kraaken: for that alternate timeline mod? [02:43:47] yep [02:43:52] UmbralRaptor: That Germany gets, "U-Boat" as its special unit is also kind of amusing given that the type depicted (Type VII) was kind of mehtacular. [02:44:06] I would play that game more but it constantly crashes [02:44:24] we have 0 CTDs in our bug tracker currently [02:44:26] thats strane [02:44:28] strange [02:44:35] Not the timeline mod [02:44:39] Even vanilla crashes [02:44:40] Kraaken: Life is Strange, get used to it. [02:44:42] oh the game itself [02:44:44] well rip [02:44:47] Scolar_Visari: wasn't the Type XIX the one that got talked up as really scary? [02:45:10] UmbralRaptor: The Type XXI I think you mean? The electroboot. [02:45:11] yeah type XXI [02:45:12] EU, C:S, pretty much everything else runs fine [02:45:23] Yeah, then. XXI [02:45:37] would've been really good if germany hadn't...well been late war germany [02:45:57] ^ would've been a really good design [02:45:58] UmbralRaptor: It wasn't strictly that technologically advanced, really. About the only really innovative thing I can think about on them was the torpedo loading mechanisms. [02:46:18] wasn't it the first design that could operate under for very long periods of time? [02:46:22] Other than that, being a very good modern submarine would also make for a poor, unecomomical commerce raider. [02:46:36] i almost started to play openttd single player but after playing like 14 hours yesterday i thought no [02:46:56] late war advancements kinda killed commerce raiding anyway [02:46:56] Kraaken: Operate submerged for longer periods of time without the use of the snorkel. However, centimetric radar could also pick those up, too. [02:47:13] The snorkel being a Dutch innovation for its Pacific submarines! [02:49:02] Though I'm not sure there's any universe in which Germany could produce many Type XXIs, or whether it would've ever been worth the effort given how much shipping they'd have to contend with. [02:50:09] magnetic mines and sub spotting tech still would've been the death of them [02:50:17] look at late-war U-boat casualites compared to early-war ones [02:50:22] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders a universe in which Type XXIs are mass produced, but in which the Allies get around by ending convoys. [02:51:45] Kraaken: Mines in general did not account for many U-Boat losses. [02:54:16] Even non-radar equipped ASW aircraft were a formidable opponent, particularly before snorkels were introduced en masse. [02:54:55] Action: Scolar_Visari also questions the reliability of magnetic mines given Germany and America's poor experience with magnetically triggered torpedoes. [02:56:43] what to do in civilization [02:56:55] Ezko: Try and take over the world? [02:57:26] nah that's too boring [02:57:30] play as America and go for a religious victory for your religion called "The Dollar" [02:57:37] hmm [02:57:41] that sounds interesting [02:59:14] Action: Scolar_Visari is also amused that America's special unit, the P-51, was notable for using a British engine design. [03:00:12] Action: umaxtu wonders if the p-38 would've been even more awesome if it had Merlins indead of Allisons [03:00:21] Everything's better with magicians! [03:01:33] Ezko: Or I suppose you can go all Kiith Naabal and keep the secret of gunpowder until the Heresy Wars threaten Kharak? [03:01:43] u wot m8 [03:01:45] One city challenge until there's a real big war. [03:02:24] It's from Homeworld. Kiith Naabal was notable in that it wasn't notable until the end of the Heresy Wars begun by Gaalsien and Siidim. [03:02:38] oh [03:02:50] could play wot tbh [03:02:52] Then, one day, they decided enough was enough and brought out steam powered machines and gunpowder tech and ended the war. [03:03:12] but that's so free it costs money [03:03:43] Action: Scolar_Visari notes that there really should be a Deserts of Kharak total-conversion for Civilization or, at the very least, an appropriate desert planet mapmode. [03:04:40] umm [03:04:50] Also: Would it kill Firaxis to transition to an actual globe instead of a silly rectangular projection? [03:05:13] maybe they are flat earthers [03:05:21] oh wait, theres a globe in xcom [03:05:23] so i put hannibal on my second screen yesterday while playing openttd, put it back on and was like "wtf i didn't even finish the second episode?" looked again and it was 12th [03:05:27] well [03:05:30] Cylindrical earth? [03:05:35] I was about to suggest the flat earther theory [03:05:38] umaxtu: Interestingly enough, XCOM 2 did away with that. [03:05:54] UmbralRaptor: play openttd with me [03:05:55] UmbralRaptor: Maybe they're unboard a Culture Orbital? [03:05:59] but a [03:06:01] so I might be on to something? [03:06:03] sorry [03:06:17] but an actual globe with a geodesic grid would be cool and work well [03:06:32] taniwha: It would also make Kharak-maps more feasible! [03:06:57] Scolar_Visari: don't really know about Kharak-maps, but if they're hexes, then yeah [03:07:01] Action: Scolar_Visari grumbles at Civilization IV including a faux-globe map. [03:07:23] only "problem" would be the twelve polar pentagons [03:07:30] taniwha: Kharak having saltwater seas restricted to the poles, which you can't really use in Civilization. [03:07:55] speaking of civlization, civ III complete is $1.49 on GoG right now [03:08:05] i'm waiting for the day when paradox switches to globe maps [03:08:12] it'll make map editing a major PITA though [03:08:23] Kraaken: not really [03:08:45] Taniwha: I remember reading a rather well worked out forum thread on the subject, long ago, that conceded that the center North and South pole tiles would have to be smaller than those surrounding them. [03:08:49] 1) icosahedrons flatten nicely [03:08:54] Other than that, however, it'd be totes possible. [03:09:00] i'm a perfectionist so currently i find old maps and project them into the wierd paradox projection, then trace them [03:09:01] 2) tools are easy enough to make [03:09:23] Ah, here we go: An example http://i49.tinypic.com/vy7906.jpg [03:09:48] Kraaken: well in EU4 the world projection is weird anyway, but its still better overall compared to 3 or even 2 [03:10:01] hoi3 was really weird up north [03:10:04] Scolar_Visari: ick. check out Kethane [03:10:06] America is several hundreds of kilometers further north than it should be [03:10:13] it has MUCH less distortion [03:10:33] Britain is still much more south than it should be [03:10:36] compared to america [03:10:40] taniwha: I think map size determines the severity of distortion. [03:10:54] also south america being so tiny [03:10:58] Also: Hexes. [03:11:07] no. the problem with what you showed me is a flat hex grid was forced onto a sphere [03:11:21] Kethane uses an actual geodesic [03:11:43] (I'm looking for a screenshot right now) [03:12:15] http://taniwha.org/~bill/screenshot3897.png [03:12:19] not so good, but... [03:12:20] taniwha: They were going for what Civilization IV did: flat to globe transition. [03:12:34] wait does civ vi have religious victory? [03:12:39] yeah [03:12:43] cool [03:12:50] I think its getting a do-over in teh expansion [03:12:53] Scolar_Visari: which is a big problem if done incorrectly [03:13:15] taniwha: Nonsense! If it's good enough for Battletech. [03:13:25] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map [03:13:37] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders incorporating the curvature of the Earth into tabletop games. [03:13:46] there are, of course, several possible layouts [03:14:08] the great thing about this irc is no flat earthers here [03:14:23] Scolar_Visari: Traveler (RPG) used to use icosahedral maps for its world maps [03:15:05] nice example found via google: http://inkwellideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ico-map.png [03:15:15] (not traveler, I think, but still useful) [03:15:46] the corners of the major triangles become pentagons instead of hexagons [03:16:10] taniwha: I what point, I wonder, should one just say, "screw it, we're getting a globe" and playing their tabletop game on that? [03:16:46] Though I suppose that would be awfully inconvenient. [03:16:47] when one has a steel globe and magnetic playing pieces :) [03:16:55] (or felt and velcro) [03:17:05] taniwha: Or just pins stuff on it? [03:17:13] Yeah, like, little Battleship-esque holes for pegs! [03:17:14] yeah, that would work, too [03:18:06] That'd actually be kind of cool for some game of World War III or something. [03:18:50] Huh, someone's done it https://i.pinimg.com/736x/95/ac/35/95ac35657edc0b5c043732a83caf9406--race-games-board-games.jpg [03:20:38] heh, cool [03:22:40] Hurray great circle! [03:23:37] Hrm . . . If there's one thing Warhammer 2 needs, it's a golem that shoots fire out its eyes? http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/c5F6WVpzuZGUNwU3RfoiYB-1200-80.jpg [03:28:25] Now if only that would run on here. [03:33:06] Alas, I really do need to get the Type 10 [03:48:29] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WhHhlt0zso [03:48:30] YouTube - Nimbatus - Physics-Based Drone Building! [03:50:23] bah, he's gone [03:50:33] next time [03:50:49] for those interested (and willing to use blender): http://taniwha.org/~bill/icosahedral.blend [03:52:18] umaxtu: ^ [03:52:41] umaxtu: and yeah, it is a nice safe haven [03:53:30] whats this? [03:56:35] demonstrating icosahedral projection [03:56:51] ah [03:57:17] layer one has the "output" sphere, layer two has the input icosahedron [03:58:28] I take it I have to install Blender? [03:58:37] (I used blender's texture baking to do the sphere) [03:58:41] yeah [03:58:48] but blender is good :) (and free) [03:59:44] it is pretty confusing though [03:59:53] the interface I mean [04:14:16] on first encounter, yes [04:15:01] however, the interface is designed to be as consistent as possible across all the tools [04:15:35] and also design with the idea of "left hand on keyboard, right hand on mouse" (though this falls apart a bit with some of the newer tools due to running out of keys) [04:16:00] (and does, unfortunately, exclude lefties) [05:13:47] one more turn [05:38:41] geh... [06:09:51] Time for EVA during duna flyby in atom [06:09:53] atmos [06:10:07] Send good vibes so I don't get pulled off the ship and incinerated [06:11:36] Action: umaxtu sends good vibes [06:15:32] success [06:15:42] 2 eva reports while in atmos [06:18:57] Action: umaxtu congratulates himself [06:20:30] mmm.. a mod to make 'air waves' in high atmos... surfing anyone? [06:21:26] actually... if a kerbal is in a command chair on the side of a rocket... does it consider him eva still? [06:23:14] no [06:23:29] k [06:23:45] I may have doomed myself to a firey death. Heading into kerbin at what may be 5km/s. No way to tell till I get there [06:24:07] No heat shield. [06:24:26] Engine on the back but the poodle is going to poof right quick if it hits at that speed. [06:25:15] a lot of stuff will go poof at that speed, though depends how deep down you end up going [06:25:22] Coming from Duna flyby, burning 2.7 km/s and bringing orbit down below Moho, then rising back up and intercepting Kerbin, because screw transfer windows. [06:25:39] oh.. Duna.. ugh [06:25:47] This kills the kerbal. [06:26:41] Does atmosphere orbit around a planet and thus pick up orbital speeds? [06:26:59] It has to or otherwise you'd have 300m/s air on the ground. [06:27:14] So re-entry orbital retrograde is more velocity than orbital prograde. [06:27:25] Oh joy, I get another 600m/s effective entry speeds [06:30:21] oh ..... oh dear...... 6km/s at entering kerbin soi [06:30:24] I'm so dead [06:31:00] I'll let you guys know how the funeral pyre goes. [06:32:44] how deep are you going into the atmo? [06:35:26] oh my god I blew up so hard [06:35:36] 30km at 5.4 km/s [06:35:53] you're dead [06:36:02] yeah, died [07:03:17] hmm... to stream ksp or not... [07:03:24] ISS Urine Tank Level: 51% [07:03:52] ... [07:07:17] haha havent seen the urine tank level for a while [07:09:05] does it just splash around constantly in 0-gee? [07:10:31] I thought it was pressurized. [07:12:38] not sure how that helps... [07:12:54] unless its got a membrane [07:19:07] I suppose it sorta floats around in bubbles [07:20:27] were you thinking presurized like how they do for fuel tanks in rockets? [07:23:08] i think one wall in it moves [07:24:25] so sort of like a plunger or membrane... [07:24:52] to ensure no empty space, its all liquid occupying... [07:25:50] apollo's water tanks had somethign similar, but it was a sort of rubber membrane. Kind of left a taste behind [07:36:51] It probably is pressurised, since it's recycled.

Dumb bot ;P [14:14:11] So i downloaded the ksp camera tool mod but it does not seem to be working in the debugging menu it keeps saying MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'FlightCamera.setTarget does anyone know how to fix this.

[16:21:06] kubi: I was inspired by the recent Rotten Tomato's audience scorecard for The Last Jedi, as a certain group just went out and admitted to using bots to lower it. [16:21:39] I thought the opposite was true [16:22:34] sandbox: Quite the contrary. At the moment, it sits at 54%. However, I don't think Disney's executives care for it much at the moment as they're still swimming in a pool of $100 bills from the box office reciepts. [16:23:17] it's not unexpected that it's made less than the previous one [16:23:32] that's usually how these things go [16:23:54] sandbox: The box office is not the problem so much as certain people didn't like the movie and decided to use bots. [16:24:16] the bots weren't a problem [16:24:29] sandbox: Why? They literally just admitted to using them. [16:24:41] I heard the opposite [16:25:18] sandbox: From where?

[16:28:31] kid [16:28:34] small [16:29:14] xD [16:29:25] idiot scolar [16:29:30] xD [16:29:34] XXX [16:29:46] 18+ THIS NOT FOR YOU [16:30:40] Action: Scolar_Visari shines the light of the Ops on the darkness of bunch of numbers./ [16:37:43] I suppose Yakov Smirnoff isn't for everyone? [16:38:14] What a pity, too, as he *was* in 2010. [16:38:16] (and other purveyors of the Russian reversal) [16:38:29] In Soviet Russia, Monolith uplifts YOU! [16:50:05] smirnoff is for noone [16:53:02] kubi: Except for people visiting a certain tourist trap in the state of Missouri. [16:59:11] Scolar_Visari: what is this bot story? [17:01:01] ve2dmn: Some one admitted to using bots to downvote movies they did not like. Though I would not put it beyond people to brigade en masse ala any time a Call of Duty game is released on Steam. [17:01:21] According to Steam, Black Ops III should literally have given me incurable turbo cancer. [17:01:46] it did [17:03:41] It's not my kind of game, so I wouldn't know [17:03:51] I guess, that's why I'm cancer-free [17:04:34] blops doesn't seem that badly reviewed [17:04:39] why is KSP published by "Private Division"? [17:04:48] ? [17:05:04] http://store.steampowered.com/app/220200/Kerbal_Space_Program/ [17:05:19] it didn't always say that [17:06:58] http://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=Private%20Division [17:07:21] sandbox: While BlOps 2 was the last universally well received title, BlOps III did not get so much love. [17:07:44] sandbox: Because it wasn't published by General Mutiplication. [17:08:42] Public* Multiplication [17:09:09] APlayer: No. There was, however, a Private Public and General Specific. [17:11:50] only a Sith deals in absolute values [17:12:14] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:12:46] sandbox, has anyone ever told you the tale of darth sgn()ious the wise? [17:12:48] Embrace the Dark Side, give in to your hatred! [17:13:03] Also: We get awesome red lightsabers! [17:13:07] TIL normalizing wavefunctions is the path to the dark side. [17:13:32] and/or branch cuts [17:13:42] Action: UmbralRaptor apparently missed a need for op powers? [17:15:58] Did I miss it too? [17:16:23] UmbralRaptor: Yes, you did. My feeling got hurt. [17:16:31] Action: APlayer loves a nice show [17:16:34] Why weren't you there to stab them? WHY!? [17:16:54] Action: APlayer also loves nice shows involving nice banhammers [17:18:39] They left in short order, however, as they suffered a morale penalty. [17:19:05] Action: Scolar_Visari has gained the "Fear" attribute in their characteristics for killing too many prisoners in Medieval Total War. [17:20:24] Oh, wait, I did miss it [17:20:51] You also missed yesterday's space news. For shame! [17:20:51] http://bitcoinshell.mooo.com/users/deddly/%23kspofficial.log.21Dec2017 [17:21:00] Heh, the internet is full of wonders, and there are fresh ones every day! [17:21:04] What was that all about? [17:21:28] I don't think I ever miss space news, in fact, sometimes space news miss me [17:21:39] Deddly: Wait . . . There's been that little channel use since yesterday? [17:21:48] No, J/K, I have this application that spams my phone with space news [17:21:51] Why . . . It's almost like this should be called Idle Relay Chat amirite. [17:22:03] https://i.imgur.com/6OAiABd.gifv [17:22:06] APlayer: Visari News Network should be your only source of news. Trust us (R) [17:22:09] Scolar_Visari, depends on your time zone [17:22:48] Deddly: I thought we all agreed the only time zone that matters is whatever Cape Canaveral is using? [17:22:54] APlayer: an RSS feed reader? [17:23:19] Visari News Network: We think so you don't have to. [17:23:38] VNN ? [17:23:59] TAI is the only real time, though I will grudgingly accept UTC, BJD, and other systems based on planetary rotation as unfortunate necessities. [17:24:15] Not to be confused with the Conductorcat News Network. [17:24:19] Best time zone is CHAST [17:24:40] UmbralRaptor: We should obviously rework our time system to use the Sun's rotation as a baseline. [17:24:57] Ok, do NOT search for VNN on google. [17:25:05] Also: https://phys.org/news/2017-12-spacex-unveils-falcon-heavy-rocket.html [17:25:08] UTC+12:45 [17:25:13] ve2dmn: Searching for anything on Google is hazardous. [17:25:33] :3 [17:25:35] UmbralRaptor, pffft terrestrial time [17:25:44] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders if SpaceX uses Quantum Struts. [17:25:56] Scolar_Visari: sure there's that music video if you search for 'anything' but it's not that bad [17:26:02] Action: SnoopJeDi just had a "time on Mars" conversation in another non-space channel [17:26:38] SnoopJeDi: Thankfully, a Martian day is pretty similar to an Earth day, albeit with more radiation. [17:26:41] SnoopJeDi: as in, 'what time is it right now?' or 'how time works on mars' ? [17:26:54]
