Good idea. The debug pane will die soon anyway :-) The reason I was 
using the CEditTable was that way back when I actually thought to use 
that code as the basis for the GUI, but then got stuck. Anything that 
will display it faster is great.

Standard question: Can we re-ditribute the WText distro with Scribia? 
(Did we get permission, or is it Open Source?) If not we'd better 
clarify this.

I know :-) I used that in the very very first versions, nearly drove 
me crazy. SIOUX made me bite the bullet and pick up enough PP to hack 
together the debug window...

Technically, using an enum to index an array is iffy. However, it 
works fine in practice. :-)

[Scribia-dev] debug pane/consts

[Ben H. <bh...@al...>]

Ok, have not checked in these changes yet, wanted to run these by yall..

1. I did the enum thing I mentioned earlier. Seems to work great. No 
longer passing string labels between objects, just the label indexes, 
and everyone reads the same labels. Less memory. More efficient.

2. I replaced the debug pane table-based code with a simple 
ostringstream that inserts the text into a textview. To do this i 
needed to use WText (thirdparty powerplant WASTE text view) and 
WTextView. WText Requires about 10 support files. However, the file 
size savings of making all the keys enums, and cutting down over 50k 
of code in the debug pane routine alone puts us about even on file 
size.
... And the debug pane now takes about 2 seconds to draw on my slow 
mac. No more progress bar needed. I think its actually faster than 
all the other views now.

Unless there are any objections i'll check that in. Its about 10 
files from the WText distro, and you will need the WASTE headers to 
build Scribia. (They come with CW6) We already have the WASTE library 
in the project. (its within sioux-waste lib.)

(speaking of which, i tried just using sioux for the debug output, 
but it was not pretty. This is far nicer)

[Scribia-dev] Web site update

[Cygnus <cy...@po...>]

> You did, and I replied :-) Looks great. Let me know if I need to give

I updated the web site (http://scribia.sourceforge.net) with the front page
I had made.  Didn't need anything set up.  Looks like any active member can
commit files.  Just have to scp them in.

I did a quick and dirty about page.  Mostly just a copy of the top part of
the developers page on SF.  This is just temp until I get time to do
something better.  I also set the contact to be a mailto link to this list.
We can always add a more robust list as needed.

Anyone a decent tech writer and want to start documenting how to use
scribia?  Might be a little early since things can still change, but its
something to keep in mind as a to-do.

[Scribia-dev] enums

[Ben H. <bh...@al...>]

Unless i am forgetting something basic (very possible, i do this for fun :),

enum exileKeys {
	cBoost = "Boosts",
	cSeeks = "Seeks"
};
is illegal.



However, we can do:


const char * exileKeys = (
	"Boosts",
	"Seeks",
	"Cadded By",
	"Outgoing Share [Time]",
	"Incoming Share [Time]",
	"Coins To",
	"Coins From",
	"Times Chained By",
	"Times Chained" )

enum exileKeyList
{
	cBoost = 0,
	cSeek,
	cCad,
	cShareOut,
	cShareIn,
	cCoinsTo,
	cCoinsFrom,
	cChainedBy,
	cChained,
	cEnd
};

And access the keys like:

exileKeys[cBoost]

or for example

	for(exileKeyList key = cBoost; key < cEnd; key++)
		row.push_back(exileKeys[key]);

For a nice efficiency improvement, and consolidation of our key 
constants in the header.

Sound good? Or is there a better way?

Ok, your reply got lost on my end then. =)  I never saw anything on it.
I'll take a look at getting it on SF today.  Not sure if anything needs to
be done or not for the ftp web access.  I'll also try to get the news system
working.  The file that needs to be in the directory for it to work sounded
easy, but what I put in the index wasn't as clear.

I have 8.1. When I tried with version 0.1.8 or something, it required
CarbonLib and quitted.
So I went out for CarbonLib but Apple's webpage claimed it was for 8.6 of
higher. Stupidly, I trusted the info, didn't download CarbonLib and
concluded my OS was too old to run Scribia with its current requirements.

Well, now I downloaded Scribia 0.2.0 and it works, without that CarbonLib!

And wow, it looks great, much better than the early alpha versions I
tried. Good job, folks!
When it's done, push DT to incoporate it into the client ;)

I have a problem with it, though : it doesn't seem to recognize individual
log files when I tried to open one. The "scan folder" feature worked
(albeit non differenciating characters), but not the "scan one log". Could
that be a CarbonLib related feature?

I also have a suggestion for importing Scribus data; rather than decoding
Scribus' file format, could Scribia scan a character report from Scribus?

No offense meant to Lark and Whoever Clicks her, but half the population

I'll create one if you want!

Hmm, thought I sent it to the list.  Might have gotten lost in the shuffle.
Its at  http://homepage.mac.com/cygnus/scribia/.  Its basically just the
front page right now.  All the buttons except the download go to a "coming
soon" page.  Everything should be fairly evident what they'd be for.

One questions I do have is what would be the best way to list scribia
content.  I was thinking either 1 mail link to this list or can list
different things out on a page.  Not sure what contacts would need to be
listed though.  

The other thing is the news table that I have listed is just a cut and paste
right now from the sourceforge developer page.  Looking at the SF help docs,
it appears that its possible to have it linked up automatically from SF's
group news.  I need to figure out exactly how that works though.  If we can
get it to work, it'll make putting news/announcements on the web page really
easy.

No, it was on the trainer panel.  What I did was, drop the memory to
1meg/4meg to see if I could get the out of memory problem.  I then launched
Scribia. Opened the character on the list.  The window opened to the trainer
pane.  I then did a scan folder.  It read all the logs.  Then when the
reading logs window went away is when it froze up.  The main window stayed
grayed out in the background.  When I say if froze, it didn't cause a hard
crash which is way I said that it may have been calculating.  The menu clock
stopped and I nothing would respond, but I still had mouse movement.  To
quit, I just dropped into MacsBug (manually, it didn't fall in) and did an
es.  Didn't effect the machine at all, I still haven't rebooted and its been
a few hours.  

The debug view usually takes about 1-2 min to show up for me when doing the
full scan.  I'm decent speed machine, 350 mhz G4.  So, I don't think it was
waiting to draw it.

BTW, anyone ever take a look at that web page outline I threw up about a
week or so ago?

Ok, i just committed my latest changes. Please check them out and 
make sure i didnt break it again... (note: you will need to add the 
new LPreferences.cp and UResources.cp to your project)

   - Trying out flexible "menu view" for the "Other"(exile) view. Let 
me know what you think.
   - Some prefs are now saved: View last scanned doc and what items 
you are viewing in "Other" view
   - Show progress bar and watch cursor while views are being built
   - Fixed bug not displaying "last scanned" doc in shares, other and 
karma panes
  - Changed character folder to "Scribia Characters" so we dont get 
mixed up with scribus files

Cyg: When you "Froze" did you have the "debug" view showing? (it 
should only build if it is shown.) That view takes a LONG time to 
build. It would not surprise me if it took more than 10 minutes on a 
slow mac on 94 megs of files. I think if we change that to use a 
"Regular" powerplant table with noneditable fields instead of an 
"OutlineTable" it will build quite a bit faster.

I just tried scanning all 94 megs of logs that I have and had no problems.
This was using the latest source in the cvs repository.  Like Ben, I was no
where near using all of the 16 megs given to Scribia.  I tried cutting the
memory down by a lot, 1 meg min, 4 meg preferred, and it almost still ran.
It scanned in all the files, but hung when constructing the GUI after the
scan.  I waited about 10-15 min and it was still not up, so I force quit the
app.  It could have still be trying to calculate everything and was slow due
the lack of memory, but it didn't seem to be going anywhere.

I tried it on 35 megs of logs, and had no problem... it used a little 
more memory, as expected, but nowhere near all of it. (15mb partition 
still had 12mb free)

Request: try commenting out the window Populate call - CScribiaDoc.cp 
line 715 or so and see if you still get the crash.  (unless you 
already know - is the leak in the scanner or the GUI?)

Anyway, go ahead and send me those logs. :)

The Spotlight demo reported about a trillion leaks on quit... but i 
wasnt sure which ones were valid, and which ones were not. They're 
probably my fault too, A more competent programmer than I is needed.

Bad style, replying to my own post, but I committed all these.

There's a memory leak somewhere. Scanning my (huge) set of log files 
freezes my Mac during scanning. I bumped all memory sizes (4MB stack, 
16MB min memory, 64MB recommended), and it worked again. These are 
ridiculously high! Scribia isn't Photoshop! :-)

If someone wants to debug this, I'll send them all my logs (9MB compressed).

Nope, and there's a big problem with it, since not all of the trainer 
messages have the character name in it. (Similar to the Untrainus 
problem in the bug reports.) And another little problem is that I'm 
not sure if the new scheme will work for the different types of

[Scribia-dev] Things to work on

[Ben H. <bh...@al...>]

Great, welcome back! thanks. <Argh this mac sucks i cant even 
compile/link and type an email without freezing for 2 minutes.> Ok.

I have a bunch of changes in the works which i will try to finish 
tonight if i can...

Things BEN is working on (but not yet checked in. Ben cant seem to 
finish something before starting on something else :)
---------

0. Changed name of "Characters" folder to "Scribia Characters" so we 
dont get mixed up with Scribus files. (done)
1. progress bar when views are rebuilt
2. prefs file implemented.  (done)
3. moved constants to ScribiaConstants.h (done)
4. Trying out my "menu view" idea. This will let the GUI handle 
whatever lark adds, without me having to hand-add new "table columns" 
to the views. The user will be able to choose (and save) whatever 
fields she wants.


GUI-type things i will work on after these are done, unless someone 
else says "i'll do that"... I'm not including scanner issues here...
---------

1. Add "Vers" resource or some sort of version identifier to the save 
file format.

1a. Add switches so old save file formats are read in properly.

2. Making changes to the edit fields within tables "stick", and get 
copied into the document. (this may require some refactoring) Work to 
be done here is in CEditItem. Shouldnt be terribly hard.

3. Change over to the new trainer map-based format. (is it ready lark?)

4. Add .r file with the main app's VERS resource to project so 
updaing version number is easier. (like CL source uses, thanks for 
the idea DT :)

5. Use the mozilla javascript library to put Paramedic's "raining 
thooms" in the about box. 
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Highrise/2084/
(ok #5 is optional. but i hear it is very simple to implement)

6. Fix the LPicture so it actually SHOWS the exile picture the user 
chose. (its not using the right resource file, so its not displayed. 
However the pic is saved in the save file. I think we might just need 
to create the LPicture dynamically)

7. Based on user preference, (which i put in the prefs file already) 
do a recursive scan when scanning folders for logfiles.


I think i want to get all these done before the next release.

[Scribia-dev] I'm back!

[Charles L. <da...@sy...>]

well, my mac is back and i thought i'd try to do something useful on
scribia tonight.

i changed the settings of the main window's theme attachment to Modeless
Dialog. this makes it all grey. i also changed the text traits for totals;
i set the style to srcOr in order to allow them to be transparent.

however it makes the selection bug of the main table even more ugly. i
investigated that bug a bit, and although i found out why it does that, i
don't know what's the best way to fix it. i'll try to look into it some
more when i have time (i.e. when school is finally over, i guess :)

also minor (very minor) change in CCharTable::EstablishTextTraits.

Doh. That's a general problem with counting things
based on trainer talk: You see talk for other people,
too. And most talk doesn't include your name.

I'm not sure how to handle this. It *is* possible to
scan and parse all the trainer talk, trying to find
if there is a full "transaction" (multiple lines
of trainer talk, without interruption, with your name
in it somewhere) - it's tricky.

Doh again. Easy to fix though.

[Scribia-dev] Untrainus bug

[Cygnus <cy...@po...>]

Looks like there's a couple of bugs with counting untrainus.  First, it
appears that scribia is counting messages that it shouldn't.  I just ran it
on all my logs since the rif wars and it came up with 108 untrainus and I've
never used him.  Doing a find all with codewarrior in my log folder for
"Untrainus says" came up with a bunch of matches, but they were all from me
watching someone else untrain.  When I get a chance later, I'll try to find
one of the exact lines that's being read in and I'll post it if I can find
it.  

Second thing is that untrainus is being reported in the training window and
added to the rank total.  So I was showing as having 108 more ranks then I
really do.

Sorry, at least i do always update the CVS log..  I think a good 
feature for MacCVS pro would be to auto-display CVS log entries for 
files which have been updated.

More ideas for the scanner:

- Count number of movies recorded
- Ignore stuff that happens while a movie is being _played_ 
(currently, the client plays back stuff into the text log...)

Also everything that isnt appearance compliant is drawing white and 
not disabling in the background. The CEditItems (the tables), 
LTextButtons and TimeCaptions need to be appearance-ized. Ive been 
playing with it.
