01:00:46 <ChrisMorgan> Well, we'll see whether eTeks relents about using the Sweet Home 3D name.
01:24:52 *** JohnTHaller|food is now known as JohnTHaller
01:30:42 <ChrisMorgan> OK, time to knuckle down and document the Launcher, I think.
01:32:34 <JohnTHaller> fun fun
01:35:10 <ChrisMorgan> Then at some point I'll be writing a proper INI domain for Sphinx for use in the documentation, and then I'll /really/ be able to expand the documentation to include other products easily. That feature has been introduced (in 1.0) since I started using Sphinx (0.6.x).
01:35:56 <ChrisMorgan> Then it'll be no more of this ini-section, ini-key stuff, but real ini:file, ini:section and ini:key stuff.
01:36:59 <JohnTHaller> i haven't played with sphinx myself
01:38:45 <ChrisMorgan> I first came across it with Django. And their docs are /good/
01:39:39 <ChrisMorgan> And since then I've tended to use reStructuredText for all plain-text documents. It's really a very nice markup language.

04:05:23 <pa_9998> Folks Any way for downloaded updates to be saved to a user defined folder?
04:05:43 <JohnTHaller> Not at present. But it will be introduced as a feature in an upcoming version.
04:06:24 <pa_9998> That's great. I want to give the files to family, save our bandwitdh:)
04:07:33 <JohnTHaller> You can copy the apps directly from one drive to another as well. Just ditch the Data directory and it's like a fresh install.
04:08:05 <pa_9998> Bug report: Google Chrome Portable (Dev) 7.0.535.2 "The downloaded copy of Google Chrome is not valid" Etc
04:08:35 <JohnTHaller> retry. that happens often when your proxy blocks or alters the file.
04:08:45 <pa_9998> Yes, thanks John, but The family are not tech savvy and don't want everything. They want maybe two apps to install, every so often:)
04:09:12 <pa_9998> No proxy here, all other updates work fine except for that one.
04:09:25 <JohnTHaller> hang on
04:09:28 <pa_9998> tried several times yesterday, tried several times today
04:10:33 <JohnTHaller> rerun the update, it'll work now
04:11:07 <pa_9998> oka
04:13:07 <pa_9998> Now it 'seems' to have locked half way. I'll give it a few more minutes

04:14:16 *** JohnTHaller1 is now known as JohnTHaller
04:14:28 <pa_9998> Does it not pick it's own mirror? It never asked me
04:14:48 <pa_9998> never mind
04:14:52 <pa_9998> seems to have finished
04:14:56 <pa_9998> will test it, just a sec
04:15:37 <JohnTHaller> SF handles mirror selection automatically on their end when used with the updater and redirects to it based on IP-geo lookups.
04:15:53 <ChrisMorgan> And Google Chrome doesn't have mirrors that way anyway.
04:16:23 <pa_9998> Perfect John, works fine now. Now I can go bak to finish writing my own software . LOL!
04:16:26 <JohnTHaller> His issue was the actual installed. updater.ini was set to grab the old portable installer instead of the current one for dev.
04:16:34 <JohnTHaller> good to hear
04:17:45 <pa_9998> Your tools are good, can't wait to see what is coming in the future. Anything that stops me from sitting here writing software is a good thing!!
04:18:13 <JohnTHaller> Thanks. Really good stuff is coming up, too :)
04:19:40 <pa_9998> I needed a break from development myself so I went and got my amateur license. Let someone else suffer for a while

20:05:27 <Simeon> hi all
20:06:25 <Simeon> JohnTHaller: If you havent seen it: I sent you an email with the new Assaultcube revision.
20:07:51 <JohnTHaller> i got it. gonna release it today
20:08:24 <Simeon> cool.something got really borked with that release unfortunately :(
20:10:11 <Simeon> Some people were asking about the Assaultcube server. It lets you run a server where people can play over LAN etc. In my opinion a secons package is the best as PAL doesnt support 2 Launchers and I dont think lots of people will use it.
20:12:52 <Gizmokid2005> I'd have to agree Simeon, even if it does use the same files, or at least some...it would be easier to keep them separate. Most servers for games are that way anyways.
20:13:31 <Simeon> do you know if they ahev to be run at the same time? I am no gaming/LAN party expert...:)
20:13:57 <Gizmokid2005> well, if you're going to run a server, that would have to be running always for it to be the server, and if you wanted to play on the same machine, you'd have to run the game as well
20:14:05 <Gizmokid2005> so they'd both have to run in that scenario
20:14:09 <Simeon> I think they do so whoever is setting up the server can play with his friends
20:14:21 <Simeon> thats what I figured
20:14:32 <Gizmokid2005> yep, I mean, you can use another machine as well, and most games recommend you do, just incase the machine is underpowered, but it's not a requirement
20:15:14 <Simeon> I'll see what files I can ditch cause I read in their docs that most of the actual gameplay is done on the client side to reduce bandwidth
20:24:02 <Simeon> I just refound a bug where peazip leaves an empty folder inside %temp%: http://portableapps.com/node/24043
20:29:06 <Simeon> gnight all

23:45:10 <JacobMastel> The menu will pickup any app in the right directory. Just make sure it's within a subfolder of your PortableApps folder
23:45:16 <JacobMastel> So for example...
23:45:27 <JacobMastel> X:\PortableApps\MyApp\MyApp.exe
23:46:21 <pa_9853> thank you sooo much!! :)
