I have two copy's of dark basic on my computer, dark basic lite and that trial version stuff. I do not have the cash to buy the full version, as i am only 16Now i have created a wonderful version of pong, well at least as wonderful as pong can be. I have built the final and stuff and its great. The only problem i have found is in the beggining that dark basic splash screen and the exit screen. I hate them. I tried changing them with res hacker but it goes right to the end screen. Can i change them at all?

No, of course not.

You're 16 and can't afford approx. $30? Get a paper-round or something! I'd worked through several part-time/saturday jobs by the time I was 16 and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Cheers,

Rich

I'm sorry, but the only way to get rid of the splash screen is to pay for the full version of DB.

Don't say that the only way to get rid of the screens is to pay for it.

"Say it would not be fair to the developer. Developers make their living with this sofware you don't wish to pay for."

After reading this post it took me only 1 hour to crack darkbasic 1.13 and 30 mins to get rid of the DBprodemolite crap. Nag screens from editor and popups on the exe, and even that annoying little water mark.

So don't lie to the children, it will just piss them off and they grow up to be pirates. Explain why the should not do these things instead of saying it can't be done, cause I did it to prove a point.

Mow lawns, babysit, help old ladies cross the street, need I go on? Where there's a will, there's a way. However I hope no one's will is TRS80Model1's way. Cracking software BAD!!

I did buy it the same day I posted this from realgametools. So don't give me much crap, It was done to prove a point. I'm an software/hardware engineer and I just did it to prove a point. If anything is worth using its worth buying. No pirates live here.

I saw your point, but it's far too easy to give the wrong idea.

The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

Hey Rich, if Zero_Cool lives in the US, laws are different than in the UK. You have to be 16 to leagily work in the US, you can be 14, but no one hires at that age, & even if you did find someone who would hire, most everyone is firing people instead of hiring, our econemy is very bad right now.

The first job I had was at age 16, & it was only 2 days a week. I am 19 now, & I only work 3 hours a day 5 days a week & this is my second job, & im lucky to have it because I know my boss really well, & like I had said, it took me 3 years to find a job, ive been looking since the month after my 16th b-day.

I can see where he was coming from, & I know most parents dont give out allowences, which makes almost everyone under the age of 18, without a job, broke.

I was lucky to have parents that would give me allowence & I have bought & owned every game system ever in existance with my allowance, & I have sold most of them, & I have more cash now than I have ever had, because of my job.

You have to remember that we got bombed over here in the US on 9/11, which has made our economy very bad. Over 1/4th the population does not have jobs, at this time. So I can see where Zero_Cool is coming from, if he lives in the US.

Things ain't been so hot on the jobs front over here since 9/11 either - I'm 29, have a degree in Software Engineering and am trying to get into games dev - I've currently been unemployed (apart from around 6mths doing the night shift at the local petrol station) for over a year !

He is 16. He can legally work there. The sort of job I was talking about isn't the sort of thing you're "hired and fired" from - I meant stuff like helping out your folks/relatives, part-time shop work, paper round/route, baby-sitting, that kind of stuff. If you seriously cannot do any of that and your folks won't give you $30 then how about selling off some old games/CDs/DVDs or whatever.

I understand your point, I'm not entirely sure why you think a quarter of the US is unemployed though - the current rate for the US is more around the 4% mark. Travel down to Latin America and it goes higher but that is a different story.

You are right, your economy is suffering - as it is globally (and it's debatable how much 9/11 is to blame for this and how much is down to Bush's policies!) but where there is a will there is a way. He already has the Lite version, so he owns DB anyway, he just wanted to get rid of the splash screen for free and without cracking the software you cannot.

Cheers,

Rich

working paperrounds 14yo US - 13yo UK
working parttime (upto 16hr/week) 16yo US - 16yo UK
working fulltime (upto 50hr/week) 18yo+ US - 18yo+ UK

you can't tell that this isn't the case because i know people of these ages working these jobs and the law about getting them...

if you want the money then you have to earn the money, just as if you want the job you have to earn the job.

You can't sit there pondering about just sending off a standardised CV and CoverLetter and wondering why jobs turn you down. When you want work you can get it because you go that mile and a half to make sure YOU APPEAR the best candidate...

Alot of the time yes paperrounds are full, but there arn't just paper-rounds are there?
i mean fgs myself and my best friend used to wash peoples cars on Saturdays and Sundays
we never made major bucks, but it was a job that we worked hard at and earnt enough every weekend for something nice.
You've just got to want to make the money is all...

Yeah, I agree with you guys, I think he should start looking for a job, but I can see where he is coming from, as it took me 3.5 years to get a job, & it looks like I am going to keep it.

I just think the economy is doing really horrible now, & most everyone I know has been looking for a job for over a year, & I do know that most companies are firing instead of hiring right now, they cant use money wisly & it is forcing them to fire people.

Of course, by age 14, I was mowing lawns for my neibors & getting payed about $20 a yard. I only had about 2 people, other than my father, but I would mow yards to get some cash. I still mow my fathers yard in the summer time, but its not a full time job.

Hey, Raven Vegeta, more like,

working parttime (upto 16hr/week) 14-16yo US (depending on where you work in the US (i.e. stop & rob))- 16yo UK

working fulltime (upto 50hr/week) 16-18yo+ US (16 = summer only)- 18yo+ UK

But close enough. ^^"

OMG! Thats the first time i've heard a software house demand their potential customers to go and get a job to buy their software! Do you realise he could be physically disabled, have learning difficulties or just live in a country that has high unemployment or laws that say he's not of legal age to work!

Other companies reply to this kind of thing by saying 'If you don't buy our product, you are missing out!' and then go on to explain why piracy is bad because you will be shunned by decent coders. He's only 16, and maybe does not know how seriously cracking is frowned upon!

My esteem of the DB 'crew' has AGAIN declined 1 notch! FFS Rich boot-up you brain before your mouth!

if customer/global esteem is not what the DB team strive for, then what gets you off? ...money?

We weren't talking about DBS's perception to the masses, we were talking about how you saw us.

So you didn't like what I said - fine, life goes on - you're the only person who took it that way, even the original poster wasn't mortally offended by my comment.
