[01:47:41] travis-ci: Change view : https://github.com/exult/exult/compare/snapshot-v1.7.0.20210303
[01:47:41] travis-ci: Build details : https://travis-ci.com/exult/exult/builds/218787668
[10:42:22] Dominus: no crash in Exult having it sit in the castel over night :
[10:42:48] Dominus: now let's see what happens if I let it sit running in the iOS simulator
[10:44:45] BrainChild: Hey Dominus
[10:44:49] BrainChild: Hows things?
[10:44:57] Dominus: heya
[10:44:59] BrainChild: Just downloaded the Exult update ios..
[10:45:11] Dominus: II hope this will crash a lot less
[10:45:11] BrainChild: No music on the intro ? But music ingame ..
[10:45:36] Dominus: I *just* read your report on that
[10:45:42] BrainChild: is that because I'm using the ogg music files?
[10:46:29] Dominus: Perhaps. I need to check. We made the extended intro for SI and recorded an extra ogg track for that. maybe this is not working for some reason
[10:48:50] Dominus: yes, it's the digital music file that fails for some reason.
[10:49:02] Dominus: if you use fmopl or mt32emu it works
[10:49:41] Dominus: (and disable digital music)
[10:50:01] BrainChild: one sec.. let me try
[10:55:46] BrainChild: yep, works like that..
[10:56:37] BrainChild: This was my attempt to do the intro many years back.. https://www.mediafire.com/file/7o3g6m8r739mh6n/Serpent_Isle_intro_-_Large_-_Large.m4v/file
[10:57:29] BrainChild: You should speak to Richard and get hime to record more dialogue for the extended intro. It needs hime saying something else about the journey..
[10:57:50] Dominus: :)
[10:58:11] Dominus: I'd rather have him record all his U7 lines and use those in Exult :)
[10:59:00] Dominus: Marzo: do you have an idea why the ogg track for the extended intro is not playing (not only on iOS but also on macOS)?
[10:59:59] Dominus: I did see that in my original code I had if (ogg_enabled && ogg_is_playing() ) because that#s how it was used elsewhere in our code
[11:00:31] Marzo: I can check
[11:07:43] Dominus: I guess the flx changes to midi.cc in 093d1a2a messed it up
[11:29:22] Marzo: Dominus: it must be something else; it is working for me
[11:29:48] Dominus: really?
[11:29:54] Marzo: Maybe it is related to stuff being in a bundle?
[11:30:17] Dominus: hmm, that would make sense
[11:30:35] Dominus: for it not working on iOS and macOS
[11:32:33] Marzo: Ah, I see what is wrong: it is indeed the lack of checking for a bundle on the code path in question
[11:33:35] Dominus: :)
[11:49:22] Marzo: Fixed
[12:01:29] BrainChild: :)
[12:02:10] Dominus: thanks a lot Marzo
[12:02:44] BrainChild: 1.7.0 (47) released :)
[12:02:50] Dominus: BrainChild: I'll do a new build later :)
[12:02:59] BrainChild: haha no rush..
[12:03:09] BrainChild: happy to help squash bugs..
[12:03:17] Dominus: right now I have Exult running in the iOS simulator for catching a bug...
[12:03:24] Dominus: thanks a lot for pointing it out
[12:04:01] Dominus: it's so much to test and at that moment, I was sick to death of the SI intro and its music
[12:04:25] BrainChild: yeah I can imagine..
[12:04:32] BrainChild: Indeed :)
[12:04:33] BrainChild: hahaha
[12:04:45] Dominus: :)
[12:05:01] Marzo: Dominus: I am thinking of creating an ´exultbot´ account on both SF and github to use for actions
[12:05:25] Dominus: especially for getting the music tracks to the right length I had to always wathc it to the end...
[12:06:02] Dominus: Marzo: that sounds neat, so we get notifications here?
[12:06:12] Marzo: We could, yes
[12:06:32] Marzo: But mostly so that I don need to tie my account to uploading snapshots from github actinos
[12:06:45] Dominus: for some reason the real exultbot hasn't been able to come back to #exult after a restart I guess. and with wjp MIA...
[12:06:56] Marzo: I am also studying a way to avoid sending messages to the list every time a new snapshot is created
[12:07:01] Dominus: ah, yes, I get it
[12:07:58] Dominus: yes, that message is annoying and the tag just slightly (but I guess there is no way around that)
[12:09:32] Dominus: I was stumbling over https://sourceforge.net/p/exult/admin/files/gh_integration earlier: github integration in SF that pulls releases from the github project, but I guess that would be wild with the snapshot "releases" :)
[12:20:54] Marzo: By the way, any ideas for the body of the automated releases? Currently, it is rather plain
[12:20:59] Marzo: For reference: https://github.com/exult/exult/releases/latest
[12:21:26] Dominus: having to tie my apple id to the macOS and iOS builds is one of the reasons thatI don't want to do it
[12:21:28] Dominus: :)
[12:22:02] Marzo: I am thinking of adding something more than just the ¨Snapshot v1.7.0.{DATE}¨, but I am unsure what
[12:22:30] Dominus: I'll try to think of something
[12:31:40] Marzo: > Dominus: having to tie my apple id to the macOS and iOS builds is one of the reasons thatI don't want to do it
[12:31:46] Marzo: But don you already do it?
[12:33:08] Marzo: Except you do it on your buildbot?
[12:58:48] Dominus: yes, and that buildbot is physically right next to me :)
[13:05:11] Dominus: run
[13:05:34] Dominus: (that was my command in dosbox to run u7)
[13:05:38] Dominus: run.bat
[13:47:15] Marzo: Hm. Do you know if there are any canonical names for months in Britannia?
[13:49:13] Dominus: no, not that I know
[13:52:19] Marzo: And I agree, telling people to @ LB on twitter is better
[13:52:47] Dominus: it gives it a nice, modern touch
[13:53:53] Marzo: We will need to add an @ to the font, though
[13:54:46] Marzo: Because the default font has a ¨ in place of @, probably for usecode
[13:55:31] Dominus: how about we use the last character, the dot
[15:26:22] Marzo: I guess the week needs another entry in the trivia section to mention this inconsistency :)
[15:26:53] Marzo: I say we follow the original U7 on the accounting for authenticity, but change the text to mention twitter instead as we discussed
[15:41:08] Dominus: Yes
[18:27:29] Marzo: @Dominus: how does it look: https://i.imgur.com/75wt1gj.png
[18:27:41] Marzo: (1x, 2xBR, 3xBR, 4xBR)
[18:59:58] Dominus: nice
[19:03:03] Dominus: I'm going to abandon the static building of Exult. There are nice tools these days with which you can "edit" the binary so it points at the dynamic libraries in the bundle
[19:04:15] Dominus: this way Fluidsynth will be "bundable" and since getting the static lib of mt32emu into the package systems is problematic it's the way forward
[19:05:08] Dominus: especially in steps to get the github snapshot into workable condition
[19:08:02] Dominus: but first things first: getting the mt32emu into brew
[19:08:50] Dominus: hopefully they are as much easygoing there as the msys2 and macports guys
[19:26:32] Marzo: Hrm. I can seem to find the correct palette to match the screenshot
[20:42:57] Marzo: I think I know what is the exact font being used in the end, but I don seem to be able to figure out the palette
[20:43:28] Dominus: yes, it's odd that it looks so different
[20:47:13] Dominus: I wonder if it is due to dosbox somehow...
[20:47:38] Dominus: hmm, but it looks basically the same at https://youtu.be/uVK-atf3Jy8?t=256
