[Scribia-dev] updates

[Lark <la...@ya...>]

- Counting coins paid for advanced studies.
- Counting number of times being cadded by another exile.
- Using signed integers now for counting (untraining can cause 
negative counts.)

Also: If you commit a (user-visible) change, *please* update the 
CHANGELOG! I've been doing it for the last release, but I keep 
loosing track of what gets added...

We took the warning out a while back because it was too noisy (too

[Scribia-dev] Bug in 0.2.0 beta

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

Hi,

Just played around with the beta a little and found a small bug.  In the
data window, if you create a selection box (drag while holding the mouse
button), you can scroll horizontally.

Also, is the scanner supposed to be checking character name to the log file?
I thought it did.  One of my mystic files got mixed in with my fighter and
it scanned in the mystic training.

The "lag" is (mostly) it bulding the debug pane, which it was 
inadvertently doing twice. Do a checkout and try it now (you can 
compile from CVS yes?) - there will still probably be a lag when it 
displays the view you are in, but nowhere near as long unless you 
switch to the debug view. I will add a status display to the window 
for the "view building" process which takes a while on slower macs 
and with lots of data.

There probably still is the main memory leak. Spotlight reported (a 
logfile of *800k* - log entries, not data leaked) full of leaks after 
i quit the app, but i think most of them are red herrings. Here is 
the log:

http://freepages.sf.rootsweb.com/~bhines/debuglog.txt

I am not sure if all those STL leaks are real. Can someone more 
familiar with memory management and usage of STL help? (if you havent 
noticed, i've been using scribia to teach myself STL. So, i may have 
done things incorrectly or not in the most efficient manner)

Dynamically adding trainers or making the scanner completely generic 
won't happen soon. As always, pick two out of the following three, 
you can't have all: fast, flexible, simple. :-)

Many Thanks

P.S.  for a more detailed version of this message, Lark may still have.

Re: [Scribia-dev] debug log

[Merlisk <me...@gt...>]

Well, I increased the memory to over twice what was recommended, and it
seemed to work okay.  However, after it was finished scanning, it took a
LONG time (okay, about 2 minutes) before it allowed me to see the data.  No
feedback, like a clockwatch icon, was telling me that it hadn't froze.

Also, look at the attached.  On one picture, Merlisk's share info isn't
calculated.  On the other, Merlisk appears to have fallen to a "me, Vagile?"
and other oddly named creatures.



Feature Request
---------------

I would very much like to be able to alter my stats.  Why?  Well, I *know* I
have Max Body and 100 Spiritus because of the messages I get.  However, I
only appear to have 99 in each per Scribia.  I don't know if I've lost the
text logs or it read them incorrectly, but I'd like to be able to correct
them.




Thanks!  And, by the way, it looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks good! I really like the banner, we should use it in the app,

Do I need to give you special permissions so you can FTP the pages an 
put them up on the sourceforge server?

It could even be a paragraph on the first page (actually, most things 
could). Generally, I like longer pages with cross-references instead 
of a collection of smaller ones, but that's just personal taste.

[Scribia-dev] Web site

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

Hi,

I through together a website for scribia quick tonight.  At least a rough
draft of the front page.  None of the links work except for the download and
the news items.  The rest just go to a temp page that says coming soon.  I
have it up right now at http://homepage.mac.com/cygnus/scribia/   Let me
know if you like it or not and anything that should be added/delete/changed.

Few notes of what I was thinking would be added:

About button would just be a page listing what the project is.  Basically, a
listing like the abstract on the source forge page.

Manual would have a reference on how to use Scribia.  If someone wants to
start documenting the functionality and how to use it, please do. =)  Is
there any docs on using it yet?  I should probably look through the beta
release.

Download will link to the current build.  Something that we'll have to keep
updating unless we use a generic name for the download file.

Contribute button will give info on how to join up if someone want to help
out with the development.

For the contact button, I was thinking of just making it a mailto link to
this list.  Does that sound good or should there be a separate page listing
out multiple contact points?  If the later, what contacts should be listed?

The news list right is just a cut and paste from the source forge project
site.  According to the site faq, its possible to have your subdomain web
page automatically show the project's news (as well as a few other items).
It didn't seem hard to set up the file on the server to do the update, I
just didn't really understand what to put in the html page to connect the
two.  Its probably fairly easy, but at 3 in the morning its not making much
sense to me. =)  I'll take a look at it tomorrow.  Anyone ever done this
before?

[Scribia-dev] saving

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

we should probably add a save file version # to our save file data, 
since we are adding stuff. Also, if you add stuff to the read or 
save, add it at the end of the file, not in the middle and we can 
check for EOF and/or the save file version.

Ok I fixed it mostly, the times should work now but the elapsed is still wrong.
It was 3 bugs, actually - times werent added up right, werent

Below is what Inside Mac says about LongDateTime. Does that help? What went
wrong with the conversion?

LONG DATE-TIME VALUE AND LONG DATE-TIME CONVERSION RECORD

The long date-time value specifies the date and time as seconds relative to
midnight, January 1, 1904. But where the standard date-time value is an
unsigned, 32-bit long integer, the long date-time value is a signed, 64-bit
integer in SANE comp format. This format lets you use dates and times with =
a
much longer span=8Broughly 500 billion years. You can use this value to
represent dates and times prior to midnight, January 1, 1904. The
LongDateTime data type defines the long date-time value.

TYPE LongDateTime =3D comp;

When storing a long date-time value in files, you can use a 5-byte or 6-byt=
e
format for a range of roughly 35,000 years. You should sign extend this
value to restore it to a comp format.

The Date, Time, and Measurement Utilities provide the LongDateCvt record to
help in setting up LongDateTime values.

TYPE LongDateCvt=3D
RECORD
    CASE Integer OF
    0:
        (c:        comp);        {number of seconds relative to }
                                    { midnight, January 1, 1904}
    1:
        (lHigh:    LongInt;        {high long integer}
         lLow:    LongInt);    {low long integer}
END;

Field Descriptions

c    The date and time, specified in seconds relative to midnight, January
1, 1904, as a signed, 64-bit integer in SANE comp format. The high-order bi=
t
of this field represents the sign of the 64-bit integer. Negative values
allow you to indicate dates and times prior to midnight, January 1, 1904.

lHigh    The high-order 32 bits when converting from a standard date-time
value. Set this field to 0.

lLow    The low-order 32 bits when converting from a standard date-time
value. Set this field to the standard date-time value representing the tota=
l
number of seconds since midnight, January 1, 1904.

Yes, i was thinking that would go under a disclosure triangle... 
Since they might be kinda long, if we put them in their own sub-row 
it would take up less space in the GUI, and its not that important 
anyway.

>- move experience table to its own view, and make it a regular table (maybe?)

I think i prefer it how it is.. Things on the left hand side in a 
table should be "variable" things such as player names, beast names 
and item names.  Experience types seem more static. The "money view" 
i think violates this, but i was thinking that skinners would be 
listed in the left hand column. Are they tracked? The logs i scan 
dont show any there. (example: Bones skins the fur, worth 20c. Bones 
listed in view)

I could add new experience types to the GUI in about 30 seconds, in 
any case... A few clicks in Constructor, and two lines of code in the 
class.

Gabriele said it was fine if i used and modified his LPreferences 
however i wanted to, btw.

[Scribia-dev] Move to 0.2.0-beta

[Lark <lar...@ya...>]

Hi,

I think we have made enough progress since the last release (and 
overall) to bump the next release up to 0.2.0-beta. Thanks everyone, 
especially Ben for all the GUI work!

Here's a list of little things I think we could address before 
releasing 0.2.0, in order of decreasing importance (in my head, at 
least):

- redraw bug in items view (see attached image)
- fix white background of table text: make platinum grey used for view
- fix clanning times (how hard is this?)
- add trainer evaluation column to the trainings view
- move experience table to its own view, and make it a regular table (maybe?)

Anything else?

Also, I noticed a scrolling/resizing drawing bug in the money pane (I

though.

Yes, we can, and it isn't even hard. I'll put it in sometime this

This is hard, because for older karma messages, figuring out where 
the exile name ends and where the explanation begins is hard (= 
expensive in terms of cycles).

This sounds like a good project for someone looking to get their feet 
wet with the code :-)

Checked in some more mods. Karma view. "other" view. Debug view only 
built on demand, which makes life faster. See the logs. Very little 
is not in the GUI now, mostly becuase i wasnt sure where to put it.

A request for lark (miss (mr? who knows!) bison/flex):
Can we track what item we sold to the exiles who have "Items Sold to" 
and "items bought from" values? (might need a new map for that) If we 
do that, i can put the list of exiles and prices in a disclosure 
triangle in the items view after each item. I'm not sure where in the 
GUI to fit in a general list of exiles and how many items we sold to 
them, other than the new "Other" view.

Also, if we can figure out how to record per-exile reasons for good 
and bad karma, i can do something similar in the karma view.

Also, for the mystics, i think we can track "boosts-outgoing and 
seeks-outgoing." Perhaps also teleports and other stuff.

I also have another idea, which i got from another mac app (Reunion) 
- a custom view, with all exiles listed. The column headings are 
menus containing each thing we track for exiles. The user chooses 
what they want to see in each column. I am thinking this would be in 
addition to the other preset views, or perhaps each view would be 
preset to the columns they are now, but also flexible with the menu.

Also, i think an "Export" feature to tab or comma-delimited might be 
useful and easy to implement.. just some slight mods to the debug 
window code to stream it out.
