Rafael Nadal - Rico suave

Cash-Highwayman

My ordinary shitting site is broken so I shit here now.  pppptthththwert!

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
 With sword and pistol by my side
 Many a young maid lost her marbles to my trade
 Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
 The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
 But I am still alive.

 I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
 And with the sea I did abide.
 I sailed a schooner round the Horn to Mexico
 I went aloft and furled the mainsail in a blow
 And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
 But I am living still.

 I was a dam builder across the river deep and wide
 Where steel and water did collide
 A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
 I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
 They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
 But I am still around..I'll always be around..and around and around and
 around and around

 I fly a starship across the Universe divide
 And when I reach the other side
 I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
 Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
 Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
 But I will remain
 And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..

Quake / Re: Quake runs 100% CPU, why?

« on: February 27, 2014, 02:00:44 PM »

When I say %100 cpu I refer to one logical processor unit.  On my single core its one hyperthread.

The only thing I could get out of strace that seems to occupy the majority is

"gettimeofday ({##,##}, {###,###})" = 0

# being numbers.  Which is very similar to KDE traces which are usually filled with those gettimeofdays.  KDE is C++ but I think it is the libc time getting function.  KDE does not run 100% but then again the gettimeofday's are slightly less frequent and they subside to some extent eventually.  Makes it very difficult to trace bugs.

In Q2 they appear in blocks of about 20 gettimeofday's.  There is also a

clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, {###,###}) = 0

also in blocks of 10-20, interspersed in the trace that does appear to be overtly connected with the gettimeofday.


When I run on the run level daemon, the daemon handler probably some how puts a check on the  gettimeofday  function through libc.  It probably running in between the program and the libc.  Its job is to handle these things after all.

Which may explain why when I run under the daemon -- I can't jump very high.  Sort of.


Urban terror also runs in a similar fashion.


All this is fine by me anyways, I was just wondering if there was conclusively a rational for running consecutive calls to the time.  Which if you did not know happens during server client sync.  Maybe in other instances.  Perhaps several functions all call for time and the time calls all get executed at once.  Which would mencingly  suggest its ease of aggregation in one single time call with 0 rewrite.   No?


Other interesting things in strace.... when handswitching, you can see the array search of the the config settings for the static change on the local client.  It searches until it finds it.  So if this and other game action sets where on top it would perhaps leave open the possibility of slightly optimized usage.  Although the overhead for that array is nearly nil it is getting stronger everyday.

Quake / Quake runs 100% CPU, why?

« on: January 26, 2014, 03:02:22 AM »

Quake 2 runs at 100% CPU for me .  Server and client.  Urban Terror and Q3 also run like this.

The only way I've been able to reduce the CPU usage is by running an init.d script that backgrounds the execution.  At which point it it leaves the CPU rather cold.  I can't say that it ran better like that.  Oh yeah, I couldn't jump up on top of a box.  Like as if I were somehow shrunken by 10% -- but there was something I rather liked about it.  I cannot be playing with a disability. 

It's always 100% and it does not let go.  It looks very similar to RAM benchmarking.

Why is this?

I have a linux relatively up to date.

Quake / Re: I need some help making my server function properly

« on: January 08, 2014, 08:47:16 PM »

It's "Quake 2 -- Version 3.21+r0.16"

I've gotten the source from http://sourceforge.net/p/aq2-tng/ and after a few hundred tries I've gotten it to work!

I still need to make up the maplist and get the game settings right.

Quake / I need some help making my server function properly

« on: January 07, 2014, 09:56:41 PM »

I have rented a server.  I have built the quake2 (I exclusively compile my software Stallman).

OK so here is my servers address.  Wait, wait, it doesn't run 24/7 yet because of my hardworking.

192.99.12.70:27910

I have the whole address and the intel 3.4ghz for the next five months.  Pings 43-44.  But I need to know now, how do I run the "action quake2"?

I have maps.  I've got a tng.  pak files.  I should be able to outload files to clients eventually (so they don't suck).

I'm lost trying to achieve a distinction between blaster and "handgun".
