| 00:28 | <@ToxicFrog> | Protip: palettized surfaces are Satan, you will go insane trying to work with them, no hardware accelerated anything made in the last decade will play nice with them and everyone who ever works with your code or assets in any capacity will send you hate mail which is itself full of exploding hell-spiders. |
| 00:29 | < RichardBarrell> | ToxicFrog: I am stealing that turn of phrase for my own use. |

| 00:35 | < Vornicus> | I figure if you /do/ want to make "palette" stuff, your best bet is to precook them either before publication or during level load, and when you do it, do it via a "base" image with all the nonvariant colors and then one or more images with each variant color as a single channel, and then you apply a color transform matrix to the variant image and composite it on. |
| 00:36 | <@McMartin> | What Vorn describes is basically what UQM does for its "palettes". |
| 00:39 | < Vornicus> | So if you want pink space marines, you take your variant sprite/texture, apply red->pink, then composite that onto your basic black-armor marine model. |
| 00:40 | < Vornicus> | And then if you have two-color setups, and wanna make a UN medic, you take your medic variant texture, apply red->white / green->light blue, and then composite it onto your basic black-on-black medic. |
| 00:41 | < Vornicus> | You can, technically, do this with as many colors as you want... but seriously you don't want. |
| 00:44 | < Vornicus> | Reminds me, I wanted to actually /write/ that library. |

| 01:53 | < Reltzik> | Helps! |
| 01:53 | < Reltzik> | .... anyone here? |
| 01:54 | < Vornicus> | Just Ask, someone will speak up if they know the answer |
| 01:56 | < Reltzik> | Right. I'm playing around with the command line prompt in... I think it's Windows Vista. I'm trying to figure out how to take an executable command and designate it as part of the global namespace, for lack of a better term. |
| 01:56 | <@McMartin> | You mean, in the path? |
| 01:56 | < Reltzik> | Right, that's what it's called. Hi McM, long time no see. |
| 01:56 | | * Reltzik ALWAYS forgets how to do that. |
| 01:57 | <@McMartin> | To modify the path, right click "computer" on the start menu, pick "properties", pick "advanced options", choose the "advanced" tab, click "Environment Vairables" and then the PATH variable will be listed there for you to edit. |
| 02:00 | < Reltzik> | ..... it's currently pointing to the directory I have open in the command prompt. Do you mean PATHEXT? |
| 02:00 | < Reltzik> | Oh, wait, nevermind! |
| 02:01 | < Reltzik> | Okay, that should do it. Thanks! |
| 02:01 | < Vornicus> | You will probably need to bring up a fresh command prompt to get the changes to take effect. |
| 02:02 | <@McMartin> | right |
| 02:02 | < Reltzik> | Okay, it seems to have worked. Thanks! |

| 10:00 | < gnolam> | I mean, I want to use mm, so "Product Design and Woodworking - Millimeters" feels like the appropriate choice. But my title is research engineer, so I might have to go with "Engineering - Meters: If you are an engineer, this template is for you." ;) |

| 12:09 | < Tarinaky> | Do they actually invoke internet explorer or are your program association settings screwy? |

| 14:28 | < gnolam> | They explicitly invoke Internet Explorer. |
| 14:29 | < Tarinaky> | Well, that's silly. |
| 14:30 | < gnolam> | Especially for a company like Google. They should damn well know better. |
| 14:30 | < gnolam> | And it's not like opening an URL in Windows is a hard task either. |
