[20:00:34] * broodje has joined #tempire [20:00:46] Hello [20:00:51] Hyronymus I don't have time :P, I'm moddeling a bufferstop :D [20:01:22] Welcome to the house of fun [20:01:23] tsss [20:01:48] You'll have more fun here [20:01:49] seems we lost broodje for the NSset and tempire [20:02:00] lol [20:02:20] so I shouldn't model for tempire either? [20:03:27] I think this is all we're gonna get - 4 people [20:03:34] Metalcore424! [20:04:06] anyone else on the mailinglist yet btw> [20:04:08] Lilman, get in here, you lazy sod! [20:04:14] Yes, me, Hyronymus [20:04:25] Er... I don't think I am [20:04:32] is it served by Majordomo, orudge? [20:04:34] and chocohmah was just online... [20:04:37] Hyronymus: Mailman [20:04:55] He was, then he vanished [20:04:58] then I really have no clue why I get plastered with Majordomo mails [20:05:05] From where? [20:05:21] dunno [20:06:10] Do you want to get started, then? [20:06:18] what I di know: I'm gonna make a new email rule :p [20:06:24] against Majordomo [20:06:27] :D [20:07:06] So what shall we talk about? Do we have an agenda? [20:07:12] we do [20:07:20] chirho, are you here? [20:07:28] he was to come, was he? [20:07:31] He can't be here tonight [20:07:34] I think it was tonight [20:07:36] oh, ok [20:07:40] I say: kick him [20:07:49] Why? [20:07:58] * Tombe[Music] kicks Chris [20:08:05] I just feel like kicking him [20:08:06] :p [20:08:20] Oh, no, it's next week he's not meant to be here [20:08:21] for al the injustice, I've been punted 8x by him [20:08:24] potentially [20:08:59] start the name roll, orudge [20:09:11] Um, am I in charge? [20:09:16] Well, there's me... who else? [20:09:17] totally [20:09:25] * orudge looks for an agenda in the forum then [20:09:42] * Hyronymus fears this meeting has to be cancelled [20:09:44] Right, present today is orudge, Hyronymus and Tombe... anyone else? [20:10:03] *watches tumbleweed drift by* [20:10:09] hahaha [20:10:10] I'm here [20:10:18] I just went to get my guitar to muck about on [20:10:30] I conclude this meeting is useless [20:10:33] well [20:10:36] none of the programmers are here [20:10:46] I have to call my parents in the yorkshare dales... [20:10:47] I think it would be best to postpone this meeting, to be honest [20:10:53] Let's talk about other parts of the game then, like... Music! [20:10:58] OK [20:11:00] Well, hang on [20:11:00] so I'll be right back... :D [20:11:02] Let's do this properly ;) [20:11:11] Minutes from last week... approved? [20:11:26] Yeah, I approved of them [20:11:41] OK [20:11:54] 2. Categorizing the ideas, status [20:11:58] Hmm [20:12:15] OK, Tombe[Music], fire ahead [20:12:15] The guys in charge of that aren't here [20:12:21] This meeting isn't really going to work according to the agenda [20:12:29] About what? Music? [20:12:36] Yes [20:12:44] I need to know: [20:12:51] 1) Feedback on what I've done already [20:13:11] 2) How many climate zones there's going to be and how many minutes of music you want for each one or [20:13:32] 3) if it's just going to be a jukebox system like on TTD, in which case I'll stop writing things to be climate zone-specific [20:13:51] Well... 1) I've given some basic feedback, probably not the most helpful stuff, but generally, what I've heard, I've liked [20:13:58] 2) I couldn't answer that really, and the same with 3) [20:13:59] c'est ça? [20:14:07] OK [20:14:08] I agree with orudge [20:14:13] but about 1) [20:14:23] I myself think they can be longer [20:14:31] like about 6-7 minutes [20:14:40] right I'm back :) [20:14:43] Hmm... I'll see wha I can do [20:14:54] I'll start extending some of my other ones [20:15:00] I think it's nicer to listen to a long song for a while than to have the same short songs looping on and off [20:15:32] I really can't stand TTD music for within an hour you here the same freaking tracks [20:15:36] How many minutes of music do you think would be good for each climate zone? [20:15:49] hmm and will it be year based? [20:16:02] I thought that was suggested [20:16:02] as much as posible? [20:16:06] :P [20:16:06] Yeah, that's why I'm writing such good music that no-one gets bored of it :D [20:16:06] lol [20:16:16] Year-based music could be good [20:16:19] I'll aim for an hour for each climate zone, and if I go over I go over [20:16:24] If we could get suitable music for each era [20:16:47] But then it'll get repetitive even more quickly, I think [20:17:03] True [20:17:09] Plus you get people who don't like jazz which would make up, like, everything up until the 70s [20:17:26] Then you get to 2000 and it's just electronic for the rest of the game [20:17:46] I think you should fire-up a game of Civ3, Tombe[Music] [20:17:59] that has the era-bound approach for the music [20:18:06] I could always just make shite-loads of music which is non climate-specific and we have a jukebox [20:18:26] Hyro, that's on a much larger time-scale than TE, in TE you're looking at 3 or 4, maybe 5 styles of music [20:18:38] Most of which I can't compose in [20:19:06] Have you heard from Tok recently? [20:19:09] I know, but I was pointing to the structure it gives for music [20:19:19] I haven't, no [20:19:26] It'd be a shame to lose him [20:19:35] yup [20:20:36] can I get myself something to drink? [20:20:44] I still think climate-specific would be easier for me than date-specific [20:20:49] It's a free country [20:20:59] we don't know yet :p [20:21:04] that's up the programmers [20:21:15] *up to the ~ [20:21:29] Or just go for making maybe 3 hours of music and just having a jukebox [20:21:38] Which plays it all on random shuffle [20:22:02] Hmm, I think climate-specific would be better than year-specific, thinking about it, and considering our composers' abilities [20:22:19] * Tombe[Music] agrees with Owen [20:22:43] I'm going to have to start writing a bit less ambient stuff in any case [20:25:17] k [20:25:25] * broodje votes with the rest [20:25:26] Any other business? [20:25:36] I'm trying to come up with some guitar riffs at the moment I can use... [20:26:01] Maybe we should re-schedule the meeting while we're at it [20:26:31] Perhaps it would be a better idea to sort that out on the forum, so the other people (eg, the devs) can say when they'll be available, etc [20:26:36] well this wil be my last meeting for a month :) [20:27:05] think so too [20:27:11] My mIRC trial runs out next weekend so that'll be the last meeting I'll be able to come to until I find another IRC client [20:27:16] and I agree with the vote result [20:27:24] or until you find a hack [20:27:27] ;) [20:27:27] Tombe[Music] nope [20:27:46] ? [20:27:48] I haven't payed [20:27:48] and it still worrkd [20:27:48] works [20:27:48] it only nags me all the time :D [20:27:58] Oh, OK [20:28:15] I found a hack [20:28:17] :p [20:28:27] anyway drifting off... [20:28:30] My demo version of Paint Shop Pro does that, the evaluation ran out 2 years ago [20:28:36] anyway drifting off... [20:28:39] hehe [20:28:39] anyway drifting off... [20:28:54] still drifting off? [20:29:00] I think so [20:29:14] who cares [20:31:16] Is there anything else to discuss? [20:31:33] Don't think so [20:31:53] no, all the things we had on the agenda were done by other people [20:31:59] i.e. the idea gathering [20:32:17] We may as well end the 'meeting' then [20:32:40] OK... meeting officially ended, 20:32 GMT [20:32:42] BST [20:32:44] Whatever ;) [20:32:47] yeah, I think so [20:32:58] I'm off then [20:33:02] Take care, guys [20:33:04] Bye [20:33:04] * Tombe[Music] has quit IRC (Quit) [20:33:04] bye [20:33:08] * broodje has left #tempire
