Well looky here.

This little mini-me is the first ever object loaded by my script parser. I will call him Fluffy.

Who's this "Yodaman" you keep referring to?

Oh yes, now I remember. Well, I killed him. He's dead. I took over his account and named him "CoffeeCoder", because he's dead. I plan to pose as him forever more.

Oh, so you killed Yodaman and took his place? And you'll pose as him forever more? I guess that means you're Yodaman now. All's well that ends well.

By the way, I've seen a guy named CoffeGrunt on the forums here. Kind of the same situation with me and another user named Cheesecake.


@Venge, yes fluffy is very cute.

From what I heard, that was some sort of initiative to get people involved in music. I don't know if it's still going on, and if it will carry on for long... But it's not like a general way of life thing. For the posher folk so they can be entertained as they travel through london - none of this common ipod nonsense, they employ someone to tinkle away as their train pulls in.

Ech. Came to a standstill trying to figure out how to make a save file of object data in order to make some sort of level editor to speed up design. People have been very loud lately, but at the floor social I won "Defiance" and a 2GB flash drive, so I'm happy.

Sort of related to that, does anyone know if it's possible to get the name of an object's .x file from its object number?

Sounds like you and I are trying to do similar things. I'm trying to make my own level editor from scratch for use with a game I want to make in the future. I've got the basic idea down, I've just got no idea on how I would save the information properly. I also know that every object has to have its own variable (or rather, a variable from an array), which is also somewhat confusing me. Heh.

Hmm, not sure. I'm thinking no, but then again I'm not exactly an expert on programming.

I use custom user types. Much easier way to organize data than arrays.

OH! For some reason I read it like Venge allowed users of his program to create their own types... Lol. I'm obviously not able to think clearly at the moment.

Crap, I gave someone else points again.

Then to access it, you would create it as a variable and access it like so:



And so forth.

i can't wait for my copy of windows 7, should be here any day now!

form where im from its common knowledge that when a computer is not responding, crashing, or not doing what you want it to its officially "vistaing out"

i do like vista but i think ill like 7 a lot better, it shouldn't crash so much.

I've never been inside a complex treehouse. Maybe a slightly thought-out one, but I'd never consider it complex.

My computer's running Vista and it BSOD's several times a day. Even after wiping it and starting it from scratch, it still does this.

I'd quite like to go into a complex tree house. Especially the imaginary part. That would be great.

So DBP compiler just started hanging on me randomly, in Codesurge and the original IDE. I guess I'll reinstall, otherwise I have no idea since I undid everything I had done since the last time it compiled correctly and it still takes forever.

Try installing decent drivers and come back. No computer should crash more than 2 times a year. Unless it's logging into a remote user account, at which you can expect it once every two minutes no matter what OS it is running.

So it turns out Newton was the problem. I rem'd all the lines relating to Newton, and it compiles instantly. Dunno why this is happening now, I added the Newton lines as a test a while ago and it never affected until now, when I was doing something completely unrelated. Hope it doesn't do that later when I actually want to implement physics.


EDIT:

I no longer feel so smrt.

The reason the compiler would hang was because I had somehow copied Newton.dll, which is only supposed to be in the folder with your .dbpro project, into the DBPro main installation folder, the Editor folder, and the Compiler/plugins-user folder. Removed those three and now it runs fine, Newton code included.

*phwew* I'm glad your project isn't halted Venge. That would have been a bummer!

Sig test. It leads to my new programming blog. I'd appreciate it if people elected to follow me and post comments on my posts, because it's going to be devoted to my game programming projects and I could really use encouragement.

Hey, followed your blog and created my own, even though it doesn't have anything written in it yet. For some reason if you click on me in your followers list, the "About me" says I don't like seafood. I'm not really sure why, since this isn't what the "About me" on my actual profile says.

Just had a great evening. Watched a storytelling performance in a haunted crypt (didn't see any ghosts) and it was awesome. Not only that but I've managed to nab 2 professional storytellers to interview for my dissertation AND one gave me his card so that I could get in touch for organising a workshop, which will cost us £250 to hire him, but it'll be awesome. (If we have the funds)
