[15:02]<myrrmrmrrr>:)
[15:02]<myrrmrmrrr>I will be happy to stay at my university for the rest of my life.
[15:02]<sxjzvwrvn>And that only because ofan injury that forced me to miss a class.
[15:02]<sxjzvwrvn>I think too it's a matter of the amount of effort someone wants to put into something.
[15:03]<wxzyv>blender_plugin_types.h:136: error: syntax error before "PRLock"
[15:03]<sxjzvwrvn>attention span, all that.
[15:03]<wxzyv>??
[15:04]<sxjzvwrvn>Me, being the severe ADD sufferer that I am, I'm happy if I can spend 30 hours on a painting and complete it.
[15:05]<wrvne>ShortWave, it's the ADD kids and the dyslexics that will inherit the earth =)
[15:05]<myrrmrmrrr>I don't have ADD in that way, I have it in a much worse way. x(
[15:05]<myrrmrmrrr>I can focus for about 70 hours straight (plus sleep) on a task.
[15:05]<sxjzvwrvn>well
[15:05]<myrrmrmrrr>But then my attention dwindles away.
[15:05]<sxjzvwrvn>I can do that....
[15:05]<sxjzvwrvn>pretty easy
[15:06]<sxjzvwrvn>The problem is resuming the task when I've been away from for it 8 hours.
[15:06]<myrrmrmrrr>So after a week I am entirely unmotivated for what I wanted to do 7 days prior.
[15:06]<logan>again that word dwindles
[15:06]<wrvne>MickMcMack, that sounds like me
[15:06]<myrrmrmrrr>Although, I blame that mainly on my memory problems. :)
[15:06]<sxjzvwrvn>yes
[15:06]<sxjzvwrvn>I know that feeling
[15:06]<sxjzvwrvn>heh
[15:06]<myrrmrmrrr>(I don't remember anything in detail beyond around 10 days earlier than present).
[15:06]<sxjzvwrvn>Fortunately I've got a really understanding wife.
[15:06]<logan>new word of the day: dwindles
[15:06]<sxjzvwrvn>Ah, well my memory is excellent.
[15:06]<wrvne>MickMcMack, that also sounds like me...
[15:06]<myrrmrmrrr>After a few months I don't retain any memory whatsoever of events.
[15:07]<myrrmrmrrr>I can remember that an event DID happen, just not what occured.
[15:07]<sxjzvwrvn>Tho strangely, my short-term memory isn't not that great sometimes
[15:07]<myrrmrmrrr>wavez, like twins!
[15:07]<wrvne>MickMcMack, do people ever tell you that you have a bad sence of time?
[15:07]<sxjzvwrvn>YES!
[15:07]<sxjzvwrvn>and like "your priorities are off"
[15:08]<wrvne>ya
[15:08]<myrrmrmrrr>Yeah.
[15:08]<myrrmrmrrr>I have no concept whatsoever of the current time.
[15:08]<runsvyw>is anyone here who is proficient at using the EditObject actuator in the game engine?
[15:08]<wrvne>damn
[15:09]<wrvne>I must be kinda ADD
[15:09]<myrrmrmrrr>I think that's one of the main reasons why I end up staying on IRC/Blender until 5,6,7,8AM sometimes.
[15:09]<wrvne>I guess I need to get me some speed
[15:09]<myrrmrmrrr>fenn. :)
[15:10]<pmv>nobody who can give me a pointer to how to redisplay the grid (or what it's called)?
[15:10]<wrvne>you know what... if I had been paying attention in class in grade school, I probably wouldn't have learned to draw
[15:10]<wrvne>it must have been add
[15:10]<myrrmrmrrr>\o/
[15:10]<sxjzvwrvn>fdv: maybe switch your view?
[15:10]<sxjzvwrvn>fdv: like go to top view and hit c?
[15:10]<wrvne>fdv, it might be turned off
[15:10]<wrvne>check the view properties
[15:11]<wxzyv>why does blender need to play swf files?!
[15:11]<sxjzvwrvn>wavez: heh, me too
[15:11]<wrvne>try shift+C if the user view is miles away from the origin
[15:11]<wxzyv>for game intro effects?
[15:12]<wxzyv>why?
[15:12]<pggg>xhrit: do you need any of the sound stuff?
[15:12]<wxzyv>no.
[15:12]<pggg>xhrit: did you turn it off in the makefile before compiling?
[15:13]<wxzyv>i'm already installing gnash
[15:13]<pmv>ShortWave: that was indeed helpful. I've been looking for how to do that, but it didn't give me the grid back
[15:13]<wxzyv>fenn, i dont know how.
[15:13]<pmv>wavez: in the properties dialog, what should I look for?
[15:13]<pggg>xhrit: change USE_OPENAL to 'false"
[15:13]<pmv>the grid floor is visible
[15:13]<pggg>and similar for the other ones
[15:13]<wrvne>fdv, isn't that what you wanted?
[15:13]<wxzyv>why openal?
[15:13]<pggg>wasnt that what you were having problems with in the first place?
[15:14]<wxzyv>it is not giving me an error for openal, its giving me an error for gnash.
[15:14]<pmv>wavez: no, I was thinking about the grid that appears in the z plane, I guess
[15:14]<wxzyv>oh, i see.
[15:14]<pggg>ah, in config.opts
[15:14]<pmv>pretty new to 3d modeling, I'm afraid :p
[15:14]<wxzyv>but, i still have to recompile, yes?
[15:14]<wrvne>fdv, 7, 1, or 3 keys, on the numpad
[15:14]<pggg>yep
[15:14]<wxzyv>yes?
[15:14]<wrvne>for different views
[15:14]<myrrmrmrrr>Make sure you're in ortho, not perspective, too.
[15:14]<myrrmrmrrr>And not local.
[15:14]<myrrmrmrrr>Or whatever. ~
[15:14]<wrvne>sounds like fdv needs a MickMcMack UI tutorial
[15:15]<pggg>make should automatically detect the configure change, but the build system is bad in blender so you have to "make clean" first and start from scratch
[15:15]<wxzyv>well, i cant compile blender, because i dont have gnash.
[15:15]<pmv>wavez: yes, when I pressed numpad 1, I used to have a grid, which I must have switched off somehow
[15:15]<wrvne>fdv, 5 key
[15:15]<wrvne>fdv, make sure perspective is off
[15:15]<pmv>ah. brilliant!
[15:15]<pmv>thanks a lot
[15:16]<pmv>I knew it had to be simple
[15:16]<wxzyv>it compiles sound system w/ openal fine using the openal version i installed earlier this week.
[15:16]<djdjzy-zzgg>$B%5%$!<%F!*(B
[15:16]<myrrmrmrrr>wavez, see, most problems are like that, being in perspective not ortho, etc.
[15:16]<wrvne>ya
[15:16]<wxzyv>but some point after that it gives an error.
[15:16]<myrrmrmrrr>Aye, it's one of my main talking points. :)
[15:16]<logan>is RC2 out?
