The Hydlaa Plaza / Update...

Thought I\'d just make an update, it\'s a while since I posted on here, and things have happened in the meantime :)

Wow... This really is quite impressively neat :) Not only are both faces clearly visible, they also seem to be just about to kiss eachother :)

*hands Xordan his well deserved bag of dirt* You win ;)

XpYtZ: I would agree, and we even have similar setups (school iBook, dual-boot win/linux desktop (the windows partition is currently collecting dust, though this might change during this summer, because UnrealEd 3 doesn\'t run on Linux at all (I tried damn near everything))).


It\'s so good to know that bigotry still lives on. Thank you for all your enlightening posts on the subject on why you are right and everybody else are wrong. So good to know.

Wish list / CStudio

As for an editor, no need for the PS team to be making one, when http://cstudio.sourceforge.net/ is already in the making :) I think this must have been mentioned elsewhere already, but there ya go ;)

The Hydlaa Plaza / Fedora--
« on: April 23, 2005, 03:46:49 am »
It does indeed still go for Fedora that MP3 support is left out entirely. If you plan on using your computer for mp3 playback, don\'t use Fedora or Suse 9.3 and above (they will also be removing mp3 support, bar in RealPlayer which supports it binarily).

As for programs, here\'s my list:
* Kontact for PIM (email, adress book, news, rss reader, calendar)
* Apollon for file sharing (legal only of course ;) )
* Konqueror for local and network browsing (file and web and just about everything else)
* KDevelop for development
* Quanta+ for web development
* Kopete for Instant Messenging
* Konversation for when Kopete\'s IRC plugin plays weird
* The GIMP for graphics work (Krita isn\'t really up to the job)
* Inkscape for vector graphics
* Kaffeine for videos
* amaroK for music handling (and I do that a lot)

I listen to a lot of different music... Come to think of it, I\'m not entirely sure where the emphasis is in that sentence... either on \"a lot\", on \"different\", on \"music\" or on all of them together ;) Anyway, my first introduction to t r a n c e [] c o n t r o l  was also their Liebe (which just to clarify isn\'t all theirs, but a joint production). A brilliant track in my opinion, but I do see what our resident kitty means in that it\'s repetetive, because, well... it is :) Very addictive, however, there\'s just something about it...

Current queue in amaroK as follows (sorry for the long list ;) ):
trance[]control - liebe (playing right now, thanks to you ;) )
Sort Sol - Let Your Fingers Do the Walking
Enigma - Morphing Thru Time
Don\'t Eat The Neighbours theme song
Delta Goodrem - Innocent Eyes
Jamiroquai - Litte L
Liam Lynch - United States of Whatever
Manu Chao - Me Gustas Tu
M?rkeM?ndene - Jorden Den Er Giftig (Danish electronic/rap band)
Men at Work - Down Under
Mozart\'s Moonlight Sonata
S?ren Trautner Madsen - Den ?gte Karl Koder (again Danish, a cover of Eminem\'s Real Slim Shady with alternative and very geeky lyrics)
Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock
The music from the Warcraft III trailer
Clannad - I Will Find You
Bl?mchen - Herz am Herz

While I know it\'s looked down upon to reply to your own post, this time I would like to think it quallifies as reasonable, since this is the solution to the whole problem put foward here ;) I was talking with KL as my previous message would indicate, and the end product of all of that, to cut a relatively short story even shorter, is the following file:

http://www.leinir.dk/temp/manual.pdf.bz2

Yes, it is indeed the Planeshift manual in all it\'s PDFed glory :) The price for this has of course been my soul ;) I shall be helping KL and friends write the manual as best I can (hopefully that will be sufficient), but when the reward was the PDFed manual, I am happy bunny ;)

PS: To decompress on Windows, use 7-Zip or bunzip2 :)

Right, problems with pdfxmlpdf, so I went looking for something else. Apache Org to the rescue, the FOP project turns out to be the solution. http://xml.apache.org/fop/ describes the process much like I presented it above, only few changes:

$ xsltproc file:///path/to/docbook-xsl/fo/docbook.xsl manual.xml > manual.fo
$ fop manual.fo manual.pdf

And hey presto, clear, readable, beautiful even, and printable :) Very nice work there Apache Org, even if it\'s written in Java ;) (ducks to avoid flying blue-books and uml class diagrams)

Thanks to KL for the manual source, I shall do my best to help out as best I can :)

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game /
« on: January 29, 2005, 09:33:19 am »
Sorry, don\'t have any ideas, but I do have the problem myself. Similarily fresh build from today (same problem yesterday). CVS of CS and cel from one days ago. I am currently updating the two to see if that\'s the problem. Otherthan that, I have the complete output here: http://paste.phpfi.com/48461 It\'s a bit long, so I don\'t want to spam the forum with it.

[EDIT] Just updated to current CVS of CS and cel, as well as PS. The problem still persists.

Seytra, you have interesting points but seem to miss the most blaringly obvious one: Conventional cats do not walk on their hind legs ;)

I definitely vote for this one. The way my character works (and most others I presume) requires him to walk around with his weapon put away for most of the time.

Other than for roleplaying purposes, think about it this way: Would you walk around with your weapon out all the time, or tucked away in it\'s holster when you can? Not even soldiers walk around with the weapons out unless ordered to. It\'s simply too hard :) (which again brings another wish to be linked with this: Walking around with your weapon out might make you more fatigued than otherwise, due to the extra strain on the body)

How so, Jakob? The player\'s guide is what already exists as the PlaneShift Player Guide in the Windows client. So the difference here would simply be that you could print it out in a sane form, rather than printing out the sections one by one from Firefox or whatever browser you use. It would not be any type of help you couldn\'t get otherwise, it is simply more convenient.

Guilds Forum / The Dream changes yet stays the same
« on: January 21, 2005, 01:38:33 am »
Lavana: I am really sad to see you step down, but I will definitely do my best to keep up what good work you started. I am honoured that you offer me the cloak of leadership, though it shall not be Leinir taking it, but in stead Nunguraii, who is the character I am currently playing in game, while we wait for the Klyros to be implemented. We need to find you a house to lead or something ;)

Kada-El: Dreams don\'t die; they may fade, but they never die :) Thank you for the kind words :)

Annah: I\'m sorry to see you leave, but the Dream, as you know by now, is always open :)

You could also type it out in hand, or print out each page and staple them together ;) Why do so much work, when a simple docbook2pdf planeshift.sgml does all the work for you ;)

Of course, the above requires you to have done the docbook in SGML, not XML. If so, then the process is slightly longer, but not much more difficult:

$ xsltproc file:///path/to/docbook-xsl/fo/docbook.xsl planeshift.xml > planeshift.fo
$ pdfxmltex planeshift.fo

and hey presto, PDF for the people! All printer friendly and stuff, too :)

(Above information, apart from docbook2pdf, found at http://supportweb.cs.bham.ac.uk/documentation/tutorials/docsystem/build/tutorials/docbooksys/segmentedhtml/)

As I understand it, it was made using DocBook, and since it\'s supposedly simple to make a PDF out of docbook, as easy as it is to make the HTML that we already have, that ought to be a simple enough wish to grant :)

I should like to vote for this too, I would love a printed copy of the manual :)
