Too specialised I would say.

Theres no advantage to having a horror-only digital platform when a general one would work just as well.

Digital platforms have no limits so they dont have the same pulls at specialised shops which can only carry so much stock.

It's a good policy to behave as if Dualnames' posts don't exist. You often come out worse than before you started reading them.

We use custom say functions in order to display text in new or different ways that are not supported by the default Say command. For example to display the text at the bottom of the screen.

For an example of this see Alan V Drake's Wretcher of my Ever-Beginning Tale.

A function to generate voice acting scripts and number lines for custom say commands would also be invaluable.

I almost always mirror the normal function.

usually:

void iSay(this Character*, String what);

+1 for custom say functions.

Just let the user define it with wild cards and then regex it.

I am not an electrician, but one of the members in my band is and has discussed RCDs with me in the past.

Woohoo, party time.

Well done to Armageddon for *not at all* cheating.

Haha

Quick odd Q I guess: Every now and then on my PC (XP) there's a small "chh" sound effect that plays. I can't figure out which app is causing it and why it does it, what it's meant to mean? It's fairly quiet, if anyone recognizes what I'm on about please let me know if you have any ideas! I've heard it prior to having any anti virus thing on here.

OOO I KNOW!

I bet its that little shitty dog on the search feature scratching himself.

omglol @ 25 years old.

Ahh.. Now I see the light. When creating a new project I have the choice between Visual Basic, C#, C++, etc. Hmm. Which one is the best/easiest format for creating a normal windows based program? I imagine Visual Basic?

Go C#. Visual basic is so far removed from most, more powerful languages that you end up reinventing the wheel.

I don't see the difference.

Am i missing something?

also @Ryan:

Heres some example code from nexus to make a custom listbox:

Code: ags

  protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            if (DesignMode) return;
            HandleOffset();

            Pen p = new Pen(this.ForeColor);
            e.Graphics.Clear(this.BackColor);

            int count = 0;
            foreach (Game g in games)
            {
                if (count == selectedIndex)
                {
                    p.Color = this.selectionColor;
                    e.Graphics.FillRectangle(p.Brush, new Rectangle(margin + 2, count * 52 + 1 - offset + margin, Width - 1, 50));
                }

                p.Color = this.ForeColor;

                e.Graphics.DrawString(g.Title, titleFont, p.Brush, new PointF(55.0f + margin, count * 52.0f + 10.0f - offset + margin));
                e.Graphics.DrawString(g.Status, statusFont, p.Brush, new PointF(55.0f + margin, count * 52.0f + 30.0f - offset + margin));

                p.Color = Color.Black;

                if (g.IconImg != null)
                {
                    e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(p, new Rectangle(2 + margin, count * 52 + 1 - offset + margin, 50, 50));
                    e.Graphics.DrawImage(g.IconImg, new Rectangle(3 + margin, count * 52 + 2 - offset + margin, 48, 48));

                }

                count++;

            }
            
            e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(p, new Rectangle(0, 0, Width - 1, Height - 1));
            base.OnPaint(e);
        }

Edit: A *bad* example... what am i doing with those pens :/
Edit2: That's better.

In order to use covers you need to speak to whoever licenses the *recording* not the song.

Dylan may own the song but the song was licensed out to the Byrds which includes a license to sub-license that recording for play at the discretion of the recording owner.

So speak to The Byrds' record label.

Whats will all the compression questions recently? We've had like 3 in 3 days.

The framework is backwards compatible i think, so you should be ok.

AGS supports 2 aspect ratios.

320x240 gives 4:3
320x200 gives 16:10

I recommend (if youre going low res) to go with 320x200 for 2 reasons:

1) alot of people have widescreen monitors with 16:10
2) If they dont letterboxing looks much nicer than pillar boxing.

Youre making the mistake of assuming that the macroscopic and the atomic levels are similar in behaviour. They simply arent.

You couldnt really see what was happening. To see something you need a photon to bounce off it. If a photon bounces off a particle then the particle isnt there anymore. Your photon sent it flying somewhere else.

Secondly it's impossible to accurate place an atomic particle like that. They arent really little balls. They are waves of probability. A wave function.

Indeed, particles can be one side of a particle and the other side of it *at the same time*.

And the sound thing is even more impossible since sound requires a medium to move through and that medium is the very atoms we are talking about.

if you're interested in physics like this but just want it in layman's terms I recommend the sixty symbols youtube videos which come from my home town ^_^ (Nottingham University to be specific)
