It would mean changing to 32x32 icons. 21:10 <@ElvenProgrammer> we also have to create the weapon sheet i guess 21:10 <+maci> one thing i would liek to see... if you click on a button like "Equip." then it opens.. if you click gain.. than it closes... sme thing i would like to see for the button "setup" 21:10 <@Hammerbear> The setup is a strange case, indeed. 21:11 <+maci> well it doesnt really work 21:12 <@Hammerbear> Well the setup window should be either dismissed or applied. 21:12 <+maci> i think it should be deactivated for now 21:13 <@ElvenProgrammer> so we're planning a new map and a new weapon before the release? 21:13 <@Hammerbear> ElvenProgrammer: There is no such thing as a new map yet. 21:13 <@ElvenProgrammer> Rotonen said he will add it 21:13 <@Hammerbear> But it would be cool. 21:13 <@Hammerbear> Well I don't like last minute drunken-man's maps. 21:13 <+Rotonen> if i don't get a hang of tweek i'll have to do it myself 21:14 <+Rotonen> and i'm trying to contract teh family too 21:14 <@Hammerbear> tweek hates Java. 21:14 <+maci> Hammerbear, i hate it too 21:15 <@ElvenProgrammer> this is not the point 21:15 <@ElvenProgrammer> so Hammerbear do we plan to move to 32x32 items? 21:15 <+Rotonen> i guess he is experiencing the heaviness of java or something :) 21:15 <@Hammerbear> No the point I was trying to make was that Rotonen shouldn't count on Tweek making a map. :) 21:16 <+Rotonen> Hammerbear: i'm only trying to get the partially made map file from him and finish it myself :) 21:16 <+maci> i dun hate java i hate the sun implementation of it 21:16 <@Hammerbear> ElvenProgrammer: Yes we could try that. 21:16 <+Rotonen> 32x32 vs 20x20 -> more detail -> definitely 32x32 21:16 <+Rotonen> why not 64x64 while we're at it ? 21:16 <+maci> haha 21:16 <@Hammerbear> And then scale it down? :/ 21:17 <+Rotonen> no :P 21:17 <+maci> hmm 21:17 <@Hammerbear> 64x64 is huge. :P 21:17 <+Rotonen> hmm 21:17 <+maci> why not... 21:17 <+maci> haha 21:17 <@Hammerbear> They're icons, not pictures. 21:17 <+Rotonen> larger images for the item description popup 21:17 <@Hammerbear> I think 32x32 will be just fine. 21:17 <@Hammerbear> It's good for inventory, on the map and in a description popup. 21:18 <+Rotonen> yeah, i agree on 32x32 21:18 <+Rotonen> but disagree on the description illustrations 21:18 <+Rotonen> but i guess that can be rethought later on 21:18 <+Rotonen> so can ve say that we agreed on it and move on ? 21:19 <@ElvenProgrammer> ok i'll move them on 32 tomorrow 21:19 <@ElvenProgrammer> Rotonen: you will think on the canyon map, while i'll try to create a second level for the cave if i have time 21:19 <@ElvenProgrammer> Hammerbear: maybe you can think on the short sword? 21:19 <@Hammerbear> What to think about? 21:19 <+Rotonen> ElvenProgrammer: are all of the icons in the cvs ? 21:20 <@Hammerbear> No just the 20x20 ones. 21:20 <@ElvenProgrammer> Hammerbear: add it 21:20 <@Hammerbear> I've never added an item before, but I can try. 21:21 <@ElvenProgrammer> maybe it's better if i do it and you care of mopving items to 32? 21:21 <+Rotonen> Hammerbear: bully your brother into improving the cute fiery beast of death and the snake before release time sunday ? :) 21:21 <@Hammerbear> Btw I would like to work on making it possible to collapse/fold/shade windows. 21:21 <@Hammerbear> ElvenProgrammer: Yes that sounds better. 21:22 <@Hammerbear> Rotonen: We can ask him, yes. 21:22 <+Rotonen> yeah :) 21:22 <+Rotonen> i should've proposed that last week -_- 21:22 <@ElvenProgrammer> yeah -_- 21:22 <@ElvenProgrammer> Hammerbear: ok so describe better this idea 21:23 <@ElvenProgrammer> i think it's better to keep the knife attack graphic for the moment 21:24 <+Rotonen> we can use the knife attack graphic as a representative for _every_ weapon we implement 21:24 <+Rotonen> we just need the serverside stats of weapons and the icons for them 21:24 <@Hammerbear> Yes we can keep the knife attack I guess. 21:24 <+Rotonen> so let's just add EVERY icon as a weapon this time? :) 21:24 <@Hammerbear> I don't see the point of that. 21:24 <+Rotonen> well it'll be replaced soon enough, hopefully 21:25 <+Rotonen> Hammerbear: more pseudo content and some usage for artists work? 21:26 <@Hammerbear> Hmm. 21:26 <@Hammerbear> Well whatever we add now we can't add later. 21:27 <+Rotonen> but we would get more activity by adding more pseudo content 21:27 <+Rotonen> and more positive attention, i think 21:28 <@Hammerbear> Ok, well we'll see. We can at least add them all to the client and decide later how we want to use it in the game. 21:28 <+Rotonen> yeah 21:28 <+Rotonen> "we're going to do something different this month: there will be a new item released every monday" ;D 21:29 <+Rotonen> i like the concept 21:29 <+Rotonen> although we need a person to actually manage the pseudo server :P 21:30 <@Hammerbear> I think we have ElvenProgrammer. 21:30 <@ElvenProgrammer> =) 21:33 <+Rotonen> well yeah, but more actively so ElvenProgrammer can concentrate on the big things like programming and developing 21:33 -!- pinkie3 [~Miranda@ppp-126-151.27-151.libero.it] has joined #manaworld-dev 21:33 <@Hammerbear> Ok so, well I have a bug to fix about modal dialogs, I will make icons 32x32, and work on window shading. 21:34 <@Hammerbear> The item amount window and help window could still use some improvement too though. 21:34 <@ElvenProgrammer> i'll work on a map and monsters and after Hammerbear moved icons to 32 i'll add some new items 21:35 <@Hammerbear> Also chat history needs to be limited. 21:36 <@ElvenProgrammer> we should open some tasks on flyspray 21:36 <@ElvenProgrammer> maybe maci wants to help us? 21:36 <@Hammerbear> Maybe that's a good idea. 21:37 <+maci> sure i want 21:37 <@Hammerbear> Also we need to prevent this chatting 'exploit' where somebody can pretend to talk as somebody else. 21:37 <@ElvenProgrammer> what? 21:37 <@Hammerbear> People use the wrapping to put somebody else's name before a message. 21:38 <@ElvenProgrammer> ahah nice 21:38 <@Hammerbear> Yes it is rather creative. :) 21:38 <+Rotonen> indenting 21:39 <@Hammerbear> Yeah I think I'd prefer the kind of indenting irssi also does. 21:39 <+Rotonen> read my mind 21:40 <+maci> alan parson project 21:40 <@Hammerbear> Reading minds is tough. :) 21:40 <@Hammerbear> maci: And what's that about? 21:41 <@Hammerbear> Anyway I guess we have also decided to focus on client side visual improvements the next two days and forget about our server project until Monday. 21:41 <+maci> they had a song .. " i am the eye in the sky.. looking at you i can read your mind" 21:42 <@Hammerbear> I see. 21:42 <@ElvenProgrammer> Hammerbear: well we're not releasing the server 21:43 <@Hammerbear> I agree. 21:43 <@ElvenProgrammer> =) 21:44 <@Hammerbear> Aw, maci closed my Guichan 0.3.0 task. :| 21:44 <@Hammerbear> I guess I'll quickly need to get rid of the bug that kept it open then. ;) 21:45 <+maci> ;) 21:46 <@Hammerbear> Having Pine open in another screen window turns out to be rather convenient, as it displays "Bell in window X" when new email is arriving. :) 21:47 <+Rotonen> so 21:48 <+Rotonen> where'd deviexx go? :P 21:49 <@Hammerbear> I don't care. :P 21:50 <+Rotonen> neither do i, but he would've made this meeting more lively 21:51 <+Rotonen> hmm 21:51 <@Hammerbear> I'm not sure if that'd have been good. 21:51 <+Rotonen> so if we summarize everything that we should still add ? 21:51 <+Rotonen> i think he is capable 21:51 <@Hammerbear> Well I just summarized what I'm going to do. 21:51 <+Rotonen> well yeah, but i was thinking about closing and doing the minutes :) 21:51 <@ElvenProgrammer> me too 21:51 <@Hammerbear> Yes but he's concerned with content, which is not what I like discussing. 21:52 <@Hammerbear> Ok Rotonen will do the minutes. :) 21:52 <@Hammerbear> And maci will be Flyspray managing director. 21:52 <+maci> kewl 21:52 <+Rotonen> ?
