01:51.58 starseeker gives up on direct bot creation and tries libwdb...
01:52.12 starseeker yeesh bot code is messy
02:13.54 brlcad what bot code?
02:32.37 CIA-69 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r52323 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/test_botpatches.cpp: Start significant re-organization of bot->nurbs code - this will result in functionality reduction for a while.
03:26.58 starseeker was trying to figure out how to make a bot given a list of vertices and a list of faces - more trouble than it's worth
03:49.52 starseeker got around the issue by outputting plot lines to a pl file
04:44.09 elf_ what's does the tclcad_obj.c file does, to me it looks like it "registers" somehow the commands that one can apply to the objects
04:44.14 elf_ ?
04:53.04 elf_ nevermind I figured out

13:22.44 elf_ I did post this on the mailing list too, but maybe anyone on here has some ideas too
13:23.51 elf_ I added the joint command to the libged library, at the moment I moved some functions from mged in the header and the joint.c file and used make to compile it
13:24.17 elf_ the joints.h file can be found here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177572/
13:24.38 elf_ the joint.c file http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177574/
13:25.34 elf_ I ran the mged tool then I tried to run the new "joint help" command from the libged library but mged exits altogether
13:26.51 elf_ I figured some _exit syscall or _exit_all syscall must take place so I started debugging it using gdb, added some breakpoints and some catchpoints but I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1177587/
13:28.13 elf_ the last file from paste.ubuntu is relevant for the Catchpoint 5, now I am kinda stuck cause I don't know why an early _exit syscall would occur

14:06.20 brlcad starseeker: given a list of vertices and a list of faces, that's exactly what libwdb takes
14:07.01 brlcad if that didn't work, it would have probably been bad face indices
16:01.41 CIA-65 BRL-CAD: 03carlmoore * r52324 10/brlcad/trunk/src/gtools/g_diff.1: fix a spelling

20:01.50 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: 03r_weiss * r52335 10/brlcad/trunk/ (4 files in 3 dirs):
20:01.50 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: Update to function "nmg_loop_plane_area2" in file "nmg_misc.c". This change was
20:01.50 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: for code cleanup and improve floating point precision. Added two new macros to
20:01.50 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: file "vmath.h" named "VCLAMP" and "HCLAMP" which clamps values near zero to zero
20:01.50 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: within a 3D or 4D vector. Also changed files "bn.h" and "mat.c" to change the
20:01.50 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: parameter types for function "bn_mat_fromto".
20:27.00 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: 03carlmoore * r52330 10/brlcad/trunk/bench/benchmark.1: fix 1 spelling
20:27.00 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: 03carlmoore * r52332 10/brlcad/trunk/bench/run.sh: change ie to i.e.

20:56.02 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: 03carlmoore * r52337 10/brlcad/trunk/src/mged/mged.c: fix 2 spellings
21:02.16 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: 03carlmoore * r52338 10/brlcad/trunk/src/mged/animedit.c: fix spellings (notice 'thise --> this' change)
21:49.29 brlcad elf_: what was your compile type?
21:49.31 brlcad release or debug?
21:49.42 brlcad it needs to be debug to get useful symbols from gdb
21:50.55 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r52339 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/test_botpatches.cpp: Move debugging plot for faces to main routine.
21:51.08 brlcad at a glance, the joint.h file shouldn't have a ged_interp extern declared
21:51.45 brlcad nor the true/false/base2local/local2base/cur_title lines .. those probably don't belong there
21:53.59 brlcad elf_: also, why would you name one file plural and not the other?? :)
21:54.05 brlcad should fix that
21:54.51 brlcad moving the functionality to libged, you should not need to utilize any extern'd globals .. I'd question each and every one of them
21:56.38 brlcad looking at joints.c, it's a little bit of a mess all around too -- that's why I suggested by starting with an EMPTY ged_joint() function first
21:56.49 brlcad get that to work alongside the old one as joint2
21:57.03 brlcad then make your ged_joint() just print a message (so you understand how that works)
21:57.22 brlcad THEN try to convert f_joint's guts into ged_joint() one line at a time
22:08.24 starseeker that's... weird. I name a plot file patches.pl, and I can overlay it successfully. change the name to edges.pl, and I get some kind of error trying to overlay
22:09.05 brlcad overlay command creates temporary objects -- might check and make sure there aren't any
22:09.27 brlcad tops should show some stuff that you can kill, then retry
22:09.29 starseeker oh - you mean the edges filename might cause a conflict?
22:09.45 starseeker is starting from a newly opened .g, nothing drawn
22:10.41 starseeker write out file called patches.pl, start mged, overlay - works. close mged, regenerate exact same file using filename edges.pl instead, open mged, try overlay - fail
22:13.21 brlcad interesting, fire up gdb
22:13.49 *** join/#brlcad merzo (~merzo@134-11-133-95.pool.ukrtel.net)
22:18.13 starseeker brlcad: a bit later - it's just a nusiance distraction at the moment, but I'll try to get back to it once I get the debugging output I want
22:20.45 brlcad at least BUGS
22:26.41 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r52340 10/brlcad/trunk/BUGS: Note weirdness with overlay command when the file is named edges.pl
22:27.39 CIA-60 BRL-CAD: 03starseeker * r52341 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/test_botpatches.cpp: Find edge segments again.
22:51.42 brlcad hm, crit is cryling
22:52.04 brlcad ``Erik: you doing anything?
23:27.22 ``Erik no, crit went goofy and was dropping packets left and right earlier
23:27.31 ``Erik even from bz
23:29.16 ``Erik seems to be ok now
23:29.39 ``Erik assumes router issue
23:37.05 brlcad ah, cool
23:51.43 ``Erik http://elfga.com/perfmon-php/uptime.php?host=bz.bzflag.bz&start=now-5hour shows the connectivity (data is collected as single udp packets, so a drop is nil data)
