[02:54:39] --- DominusExult is now known as Dominus
[19:20:45] <Dominus> downside of reimporting the ML messages is that all the spam gets in, too :)
[19:45:48] <Dominus> wjp, do you have any idea why our fix for the loop in the patrol schedule change is affecting the conversation with Flicken?
[19:46:05] <Dominus> when I revert r7378 I cannot reproduce this anymore
[19:46:38] <Dominus> as does my snapshot of Exult before that revision
[19:48:50] <Dominus> Flicken *does* pace which is part of the patrol schedule
[19:49:18] <wjp> how does it affect the conversation?
[19:49:51] <Dominus> *sometimes* when you speak to him through the closed gate his portrait and conversation text vanishes
[19:50:29] <Dominus> you can hit space until the conversation options of the avatar reappear and continue a "silent" conversation
[19:50:35] <Dominus> it's really odd
[19:50:37] <wjp> uh?
[19:51:01] <Dominus> I'll try to make a screenshot, one moment

[19:59:35] <Dominus> wjp, it's strangely *not* happening everytime you talk to him but most of the times. most reliably in the standing frame turned away from you

[20:14:21] <wjp> heh
[20:17:45] <Dominus> ?
[20:37:43] <Dominus> any idea or as puzzled as me why that rev should have any effect?
[20:39:51] <wjp> it's um, Spektran
[20:40:19] <Dominus> huh?
[20:40:22] <wjp> quite
[20:41:53] <wjp> the schedule is an unlucky coincidence
[20:41:59] <wjp> probably
[20:42:38] <wjp> the conversation is disappearing because Spektran's schedule is triggering conv->clear_answers(); inside Usecode_internal::call_usecode()
[20:43:59] <wjp> but no idea which parts of this are wrong/right
[20:45:17] <wjp> this patrol revision had an impact because the loiter schedule is the one doing this usecode call
[20:46:03] <Dominus> ah, I see.
[20:46:34] <Dominus> so without that code it could still happen but you'd need to be much more "lucky" to hit the right spot
[20:46:45] <wjp> probably
[20:47:03] <wjp> it could be that our timing is off when Flicken's conversation sets Spektran's schedule, and we shouldn't immediately start doing things
[20:47:14] <wjp> but I really don't know
