[00:00:11] once i get the magnet code going I'll tidy up the rest of the code and release it on the forum as I have the others [00:01:25] Wait, so you were the ORIGINAL developer of IR? [00:01:48] yup [00:02:07] Action: GuestBanana bows deeply in respect for his elders [00:02:19] pfft no need for that :) [00:03:17] the others who added the sequencer mod and other goodies deserve the bow, they made it way more interesting and useful than me [00:04:17] wait... how can you have not played the game if the official IR thread says "edited May 5, 2016"? [00:05:10] i would update it when needed [00:05:26] just wouldnt play the game, had a daughter so things got hectic [00:05:39] oh, well that explains things [00:06:14] I've been playing stock-casual the past year, but have lately wanted to move into a mod-light setup [00:07:07] i "play" stock when coding lol [00:07:31] Just some useful stuff like whatever that mod is that improves the burn time estimation, Kerbal Alarm Clock, maybe even MechJeb [00:08:12] I wanted to make a mod to make asteroid more... interesting? [00:08:17] I gave up :( [00:08:24] Is MechJeb cheating? [00:08:49] (I won't care either way, throw all your emphatic feelings at me) [00:08:51] "There is no wrong way to play" [00:09:12] yeah what ve2dmn said [00:09:15] ve2dmn: amen brother [00:09:20] i love MechJeb [00:09:43] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [00:09:55] I think Mechjeb is cheating. But it's only cheating in the context I play the game. I used it sometimes to test things [00:10:03] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [00:10:45] With a different mod lineup, it would proably be required [00:12:05] I hate my imperfect human brain messing up launches. I mean, that's usually because I over-build things massively (oh, right, I want KER in that setup too) but I always overbuild the top of the rocket instead of the bottom [00:12:33] I think MechJeb could help that, but I'd have to make sure I can actually build good rockets [00:12:38] GuestBanana: that's why I use kOS [00:16:26] kOS is pure awesome [00:18:15] I haven't been in a very code-ey mood lately, if you know what I mean [00:35:40] https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/929298290927182543/4A323FD5538D1891D9BBDDCFEA4A9A21AD495FB7/ [00:37:32] I just saved this mission with kOS. Realized the antennas were going to overheat on re-entry; "wait until alt:radar < 5000. stage." and the chutes pop on time :) [00:38:05] Do all bodies with "water" have those rare splashed down locations ?! [00:38:26] Guest41964, rare? Are you running the Field Science contract mod? [00:38:39] I don't remember stock having that [00:38:41] I think so. With splashed being a state of the craft. [00:39:02] unless this is a mod question. [00:39:33] No. I only run x-science and had a hard time getting them all on kerbin. So I kind of hoped the other bodies were different^^ No mod question just a random question I had. [00:40:01] Guest41964, well it's not like you *have* to do them all [00:40:16] Stock has splashed down for all the usual biomes, exept the micro ones and baikerbanur [00:40:26] Oh ok [00:40:38] "It's not like you have to do them all" well you don't know me :D [00:41:18] Ah, a 100%'er? Have fun with KSP lol [00:42:33] Well I have done all kinds of stuff in the years I played ksp and now I want to try and step by step get all the science. Must be possible I guess. And yeah that 100% stuff is a really bad habbit or I guess you could say mental disease... [00:43:58] If you really get all the science, you can max out the tech tree without leaving Kerbin system. I forget if you need the lab or not. [00:44:41] One of many reasons I run CTT [00:45:07] I got all the science on kerbin allready. And its SOI, only the moons are left and I guess minmus alone should be more than I need. [00:46:26] just realized i bought the game in april, the last month the dlc will be free [00:46:28] _whew_ [00:48:16] The strangeness with splash down in non-wet terrain is in stock. Field Service or Science or whatever contracts gives you the pointers on where, and pays you for the research. [00:49:22] I don't use contract configurator since I always felt it has a rather big performance impact. [00:49:50] The only hard ones are splashed down in mountains and highlands. [02:00:58] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [02:28:27] You don't need the lab to max out science in the Kerbin SOI. I've still not figured out how or why to use the lab and I've done it. [02:40:23] Mathuin, ok good to know. The lab gives you 5x science on everything (terribly OP) or at least it used to. [03:16:19] lordcirth: And how do you get it? YOu bring the science there instead of home? [03:16:35] Can't web browse while playing Civ6 or I'd look it up now. [03:16:58] Mathuin, yes, you staff it with scientists, give it EC, and load data into it. They crank out 5x more science. [03:19:37] Fascinating. That'd make a great core to a munar station. [03:19:55] Put one of those around Minmus and you've pretty much got enough science for almost anyone. [03:33:21] !nextlaunch [03:42:30] hey guys. Firespitter 1.3 seems to be crashing my game while loading and i have no idea why. can someone help me out by looking at a log or knowing whats incompatible with it? i can provide a log i just dont know how to over IRC [03:45:43] viper paste it into hastebin or something [03:45:50] okay [03:45:56] Or upload the log file to Google or whatever and then link it here [03:52:08] here it is in google https://drive.google.com/open?id=15-QvMnLwyzE0JaetIjfqBrztK9cEKhC0 [03:53:27] Mathuin, yeah, about 3 biome landers on Minmus and you've maxed out the tech tree. It's OP. [03:53:54] viper, .rar? really? [03:54:31] ? [03:54:49] .rar is a decade obsolete and requires patented software to open [03:54:52] .rar is rather annoying, but passable [03:55:04] 7zip is good [03:55:12] 7zip is excellent.

[19:21:17] From the actual paper, "Message Decontamination is Impossible": "Overall, we believe that the risk is very small (but not zero), and the potential benefit very large, so that we strongly encourage to read an incoming message." [19:24:45] Just like in Independence Day, alien software and hardware would be COMPLETELY LIKE OUR OWN and thus vulnerable to viruses. [19:29:59] Scolar_Visari: yes.

[19:54:30] Action: Scolar_Visari notes rail guns might have one or two pick up points as opposed to the difficult to reach one of the BFG [19:54:36] However, rocket jumping is always fun. [19:54:39] Also: SPLASH DAMAGE! [19:55:06] ... Now I feel like a dinosaur [19:55:08] original doom didnt have railguns [19:55:11] ^ [19:55:47] i liked the plasma guns [19:55:47] Althego: Doom? Psht, play Quake II, peasant! [19:56:02] Scolar_Visari: get off my lawn! [19:56:06] i could never play quake 2 because even 1 was barely running [19:56:11] kids, theses days... [19:56:36] in fact i skipped all later quakes, and when i got a better computer they were already old [19:56:52] Quake III's still surprisingly popular. [19:56:57] ...no appriciation for the true origins of the classics [19:57:17] and i was never an fps fan [19:57:21] ve2dmn: The classics made me physically nauseous. [19:57:30] only mirror's edge :) [19:57:37] Action: Scolar_Visari could not play Wolfenstein or Doom 1 -2 for more than thirty minutes at a time. [19:57:40] even 15 minutes is very bad for me [19:57:46] Pharaoh and Caesar III, ont he other hand . . . [19:58:05] after 1 hour i have to stop because of nausea, headache, and eye issues [19:58:10] Scolar_Visari: I usually play Star Control II or similar back in thoses days... [19:58:26] Action: Scolar_Visari also ponders why science-fiction authors think that point defense cannons are the only anti-missile defense systems on actual naval craft, ignoring that those dozens of SAMs can still hit other missiles [19:58:44] ve2dmn: I did not start that till Imperium Galactica II, the best Galactica. [19:59:24] hah, hungarian game [19:59:37] A good title that one [20:00:05] Althego: An AWESOME Hungarian game. They made a few other decent titles, too, and the CGI in IGII was pretty good. Ahem, at the time. [20:00:06] I still miss Master of Orion and M.A.X. sometimes [20:00:24] i never got around to really play max [20:00:32] Action: Scolar_Visari remembers the four discs needed for IG II and the horribly designed jewel case [20:01:12] Althego: the first game was ok, even if the AI was dumb. [20:01:24] but never touch M.A.X. II.... never, ever. [20:02:08] Interplay was having financial troubles at the time and it showed. It was released still buggy as $%/??% [20:03:30] I seem to recall games always being buggy. [20:03:59] Scolar_Visari: that one was unplayable [20:04:33] If you can't play for 10min without game breaking bugs and/or CTD... it's not worth your time [20:04:53] So . . . like Fallout 3? [20:05:14] worse [20:06:05] btw tomorrow is march, soon the next ksp [20:06:08] Younger, I dreamed of making a good Turn-based game like M.A.X., Outpost, Missionforce:Cyberstorm or something like thoses [20:06:24] Then I learned to code and I gave up [20:07:23] Outpost had so much potential. [20:07:52] hehe [20:07:53] Maybe someday I will find an engine made for that [20:08:02] Scolar_Visari: yes :( [20:09:05] I could never figure out what 50% of the game was for, yet I always managed to 'win' (AKA get nanotech and have unlimited ressources) [20:09:05] Paradox has a Mars colony game coming out soon, let's see how that works out . . . [20:10:20] scott was playing a mars colony thing [20:10:23] is taht it? [20:10:26] looked nice [20:11:35] "A surprising chill before the cosmic dawn" https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-02310-9 [20:12:03] Surviving Mars https://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/8507205/unnamed__5_.png [20:13:25] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:13:40] UmbralRaptor: "A surprising chill before the cosmic dawn" https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-02310-9 [20:13:43] lol "the cosmic dperformanceawn" [20:13:48] editing error [20:13:59] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:14:06] Althego: Editing?

[20:16:08] Action: Scolar_Visari leaves to shake their tentacles in agitation towards the general direction of the un-free publication movement. [20:22:35] I work in the free publication these days [20:23:21] I routinely see bots trying to download our entire website to repackage freely available PDFs and sell them [20:24:56] Almost as bad as the predatory papers publications which will publish anything as long as you pay [20:48:32] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:48:43] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:48:50] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:50:44] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:58:59] Deddly: where pre order [20:59:22] You want to pre-order the Forum outage? ;) [21:00:11] oren, or do you maybe mean the Making History expansion? [21:00:48] i just hope the store will sell it too [21:00:58] because gog updates are sllow and i dont want steam [21:01:19] also 1.4 with it [21:02:10] I'm really on edge about that new terms of service and privacy policy announcement [21:02:30] What, specifically, don't you like about it? [21:17:08] What time zone is NPT? (from the topic) [21:18:01] Nepal Time [21:18:14] The website is run or managed from Nepal?

[21:31:30] hi there. Is there any place where one can ask about new terms/eula/etc and activities you can now do or not do and consequences? [21:31:40] Hi ThirdOfSeven [21:31:43] Cool name :) [21:32:10] ThirdOfSeven, you're welcome to talk about it here, but I don't think any of us here are lawyers [21:32:37] Otherwise, you could also bring up your concerns in the announcement thread on the forum, if you like. [21:33:19] there is one thread and it is pretty quiet for a while with nobody answering and everybody asking... :) [21:33:23] hmm [21:33:30] Mathuin, I put NPT because it's about as useful to half the world as EST (which is in the official announcement). I was being a little sarcastic :) [21:33:42] anyone expert on research bodies here? [21:34:10] why can't I control which body to research with my telescope? [21:34:22] Mathuin, I picked the most obscure time zone I could think of ;) [21:34:40] I hope we get some contacts to ask concrete questions one day, about what we can do, like "for content creators" or so. [21:34:48] kubi, are you talking about KSP or something else? [21:34:59] KSP yes [21:35:04] Research Bosies mod [21:35:08] bodies [21:35:08] I think he is talking about "Research Bodies" mod. [21:35:20] Ah, I don't know that mod, sorry [21:35:34] ThirdOfSeven, what questions do you have about the terms? [21:35:43] what thoughts you had in your head? :) [21:36:48] new terms specificly forbid any derivative works based on forums or any other online services. For example, can one make and post screenshots, have them appearing in a video and so on? [21:36:50] Deddly: ah, I thought it was some part of Mexico from when Squad was still there. :-) [21:38:10] "is KSP now a nintendo game?" [21:38:11] <_< [21:38:14] ThirdOfSeven, I think that was standard T&C talk for "Don't steal our stuff" [21:38:49] Is it standard? I haven't read terms and conditions for many games, TakeTwo or otherwise, but if it isn't in the old ones and is added to the new ones, that's slightly troubling. [21:39:00] but now you never know what they call "steal" [21:39:30] There was even a company that literally said they own your soul if you agree to the terms, to make fun of the people to never read them [21:39:35] i'm trying to find any old terms, but not very lucky atm [21:39:48] the people WHO* never read them [21:40:04] I'd wonder about its impact on "Open Space Program" if it appeared to have a chance on being anything other than vaporware. [21:40:07] only EULA. For example, there forum guidelines, but I can't find terms of online servies. [21:40:26] can't I have my terms and conditions published somewhere saying that if you sell me anything your life is mine? [21:41:00] ThirdOfSeven, there's the LegalNotice.txt in the KSP folder [21:41:26] kubi: you can but if you tried to enforce it you would most likely get struck down in almost any court [21:41:34] https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/en/?page_id=43 also this. Btw, it permits anything like I listed before. [21:41:35] in english, I suppose [21:41:52] so then I do not need to understand that [21:42:08] ThirdOfSeven, I think this is the old one https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/en/?page_id=39 [21:42:20] Oh, you linked it already [21:43:17] RandomJeb makes a good point. No matter what the EULA says, it is still subject to local laws, and there are things like "fair use" that say you can post a screenshot etc. [21:44:00] but, for example, if it appears on Youtube, cant take two claim and strike such channel? [21:44:34] ThirdOfSeven, you mean because you show footage of the game? [21:44:46] What wording in the new terms says you can't do that? [21:45:03] footage of a game, screenshot from devs, or just open browser with forum on stream, for example. [21:45:31] (i) you may only view, copy and print portions of the Online Services for your own informational, personal and non-commercial use; (ii) you may not modify or otherwise make derivative uses of the Online Services, or any portion thereof; [21:46:18] hmmm, my roll cage works. https://i.gyazo.com/ee1dee0b5bcca354e496095c8dd878bf.png [21:46:54] ThirdOfSeven: what do they define Online Services as? [21:47:26] ThirdOfSeven, again, my personal take on that is just legalese for "if you do something bad or try to steal our stuff, we will sue you" [21:47:29] RandomJeb: as far as I understand it includes forums, irc chat... [21:48:14] maybe curseforge pages. [21:49:53] ThirdOfSeven, It's pretty safe to say that it's unlikely TakeTwo or Squad will sue users for making a video on YouTube with KSP in it - that would be commercial suicide and they would be attacking free publicity. [21:51:48] I wanna agree, but on other hand they have such power sunce 6 Mar. I hope we will have some guidelines on what we can do and which way to not take any risks. [21:51:49] But it's also likely that someone will reply in that thread eventually - but my guess is it will take time because it will have to be worded very carefully [21:53:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:55:06] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:56:23] Probably the most expensive thread in the forums. [21:56:30] Dollars per post, based on lawyer billing time to craft responses. [21:57:06] It's also worth noting that Rockstar Games have exactly the same wording [21:57:22] I think something like this must be prepared before posting about changing the terms, not after. [22:05:00] ThirdOfSeven, genius! but that would require forethought ;) [22:16:09] My most significant concern is that they will consider using free mods a violation of the TOS, especially if they add microtransactions into the mix. If I can't play with open-source kOS because they're selling kRAPOS for $5.99, that's a problem. [22:16:56] also it is interesting if open-source mods with GPL license still can be posted since you can't give them any exclusive rights with it :) [22:16:57] "any derivative works based on forums or any other online services" might mean "don't nobody make a free version of S00perSpecialPartz mod which we sell", or it might mean more, I don't know. [22:19:01] actually why I'm asking this just because I found my viewers like to watch translated news from developers in Russian. Of course I had to put some images posted by dev (of course noting I'm not one making them) and sometimes show forums (to advertise some challenges), now it seems I may have issues... [22:19:55] A good rule of thumb when it comes to copyright law is "is money changing hands or could it be? is it enough for someone to care?" [22:20:37] SnoopJeDi: that's why I'm concerned about blocking free mods, to avoid free lookalikes from draining the income TakeTwo may expect. [22:21:06] Mathuin, I doubt it'd drain enough to warrant a preventative approach [22:21:15] certainly possible they could later yank something [22:21:21] Not my place to draw that line, though, so I don't know how reasonable they plan on being. [22:21:33] To the GPL point though...GPL is just...problematic. [22:21:38] I don't know. I have no monetization, for example. Maybe Youtube makes some money, but in general I'm just making information more accessible with such video. [22:21:42] For games specifically [22:22:06] [GPL] Sure. If someone could make a "is-this-GPL?" test, then vendors would simply block them at the door -- and they'd be within their rights. [22:22:40] yea there's definitely a deliberately engineered vagueness [22:33:07] my friend was like "buy stellaris" [22:33:14] then he gave me the game [22:33:20] now I annoy him every day to play [22:36:56] Mathuin, in copyright terminology, a "derivative work" is using code or material from the original. [22:38:41] I should be done painting the canadair soon [22:38:41] You could start from scratch and make an clone of KSP and as long as you don't call it KSP or sell it for money, and as long as you haven't taken the code, sounds, textures or other assets of the game, it would not be breaking any laws. [22:38:55] Deddly https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/254984631512858634/418397594872709120/DSC_8459.JPG [22:39:40] Fluburtur, neat :) [22:39:46] I have to go now. Seeyas [22:40:12] Deddly: and now that Oracle v Google was resolved, you can even make your version API-compatible. [22:40:24] However, being right in the end doesn't mean you can't be sued until you have no money. [22:40:32] Fingers crossed that people are not horrible. [22:41:22] Deddly, It's Complicated though. If you make a GPL Python library and I import it, is that derivative? If it's not but then I subclass one of yours, is *that* derivative? [22:42:11] SnoopJeDi, that's complicated, but ThirdOfSeven putting a screenshot of the forum or KSP online somewhere isn't a derivative work [22:42:13] The unfortunate side effect of such vagueness is that the end-user is left with this really strange legal hostage situation if they intend to do anything but license under GPL too. [22:42:32] That said, the resources to wield the legal system like a kudgel aren't generally present, nor is the motive. [22:43:04] and as far as something like TOS is concerned, it's a set of guidelines to try and put edges on a box more formally defined as "we do what we want pretty much" [22:43:33] at least as I see it [22:46:15] Again, pretty standard as far as ToS / EULA go in general [22:46:44] oh yes absolutely [22:49:19] ThirdOfSeven, in my (non-lawyer) opinion, you have nothing to worry about. This is the same as most other companies, and I don't see TakeTwo going after people who post videos about GTA V [22:49:41] Now I go, seeyas :) [22:49:45] (see previous rule of thumb: would it make them enough money to matter?) [22:50:15] You know, if you could program a Tesla autopilot in GTAV, that would be fun. [22:50:16] Would it make them ANY money? [22:50:17] although that's kinda hard to quantify when it comes to brand protection, heh. See: Nintendo's primal aggression to fan projects [22:50:27] avoiding loss is profit blah blah [22:51:14] oh, he quite [22:52:48] anyway, thanks for you your opinions. :) [22:53:05] it is much more calm inside my mind now [22:56:28] Mathuin, have you seen Sentdex's youtube videos training a GAN to play it? [22:56:55] His neural net does some remarkable things! [23:16:17] I have not! That sounds fun. The closest I've come to that was watching someone play GTA on DDR pads. [23:35:41] mmm nintendo is why the atari (fanmade) version was called princess rescue [23:36:49] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5igUFICNB0 [23:36:49] YouTube - Princess Rescue - Atari 2600 Homebrew [23:39:53] oh god youtube is too smart - I had never heard of Zippy the Porcupine (it suggested I look at that particular atari homebrew next) [23:55:07] kuzetsa: or the C64 Gianna Sisters
