Rainbow Dash

Thanks, Soul. Worked perfectly.

Global chat is already there, just type into the bar and hit enter. Private chat needs you to put (I think) !Playersname before your message and party chatting is in there but I'm unsure how it's done.

It's difficult to understand it if you've never played WoW before, you can't simply assume that people have, and in the likelihood they have, they probably wouldn't know about it anyway. And VB6 isn't protected viciously by Microsoft, since it's outdated, nigh on ancient. Blizzard are pretty tetchy about copyright for a current game.

I actually didn't have to explain it to him, which I'm pretty relieved about. Anyway, I would say that most people that this message will reach probably illegally acquire music, software and games. They're not going to stop that for another of Anon's little outbursts.

@Robin: > Imagine how stupid the average person is. Now realise half the population is even more stupid than that. > > Using your immediate family as an example for the entire world's population is very, very silly. I never said 'ZOMGZ MAH FAMILI IZ JUS LIKE DA REST OV DA WERLD.' I used my technologically impaired father to prove a point about how simple it is to torrent or pirate media. And when I say technologically impaired, he doesn't even know how to save MS Word documents as .doc or .docx files. And that's because, as you said, plenty of people are stupid. That's why it's so dumbed down and easy to do pretty much anything on a computer these days, including piracy.

@Robin: > Stop confusing the white, middle-class American teenager demographic with the rest of the world. The majority of people buy software, music, films and books. If not there wouldn't be a market. > > Technology is still seen as wiccan magjicks to the majority of people, especially the older generations. Most people have no idea how to torrent or usenet. > > This silly thing won't work simply because anonymous are so damn tiny. Nobody I know buys software, music films and the like except mostly for me. My father doesn't buy it either and he's a bit technologically retarded. And I'm not American, either, so I wouldn't know about them, but I doubt 80% legitimately buy software, especially at the prices you have to pay for most decent stuff.

I'm trying to add a Knighthood system to EO, where you right click the player's name in the server and go to Knight Player or Remove Knight and if you are a Knight, then it makes your name green. When you add or remove the Knighthood, it sends messages as it should, but I can't get the names to change colour - here's the code: ``` ' Check access level If GetPlayerPK(Index) = NO Then Select Case GetPlayerAccess(Index) Case 0 color = RGB(255, 96, 0) Case 1 color = QBColor(DarkGrey) Case 2 color = QBColor(Cyan) Case 3 color = QBColor(BrightGreen) Case 4 color = QBColor(Yellow) End Select If GetPlayerAccess(Index) = 0 Then Select Case GetPlayerKnight(Index) Case 0 color = RGB(255, 96, 0) Case 1 color = RGB(0, 255, 100) End Select Else color = QBColor(BrightRed) End If End If Name = Trim$(Player(Index).Name) ' calc pos TextX = ConvertMapX(GetPlayerX(Index) * PIC_X) + Player(Index).XOffset + (PIC_X \ 2) - getWidth(TexthDC, (Trim$(Name))) ``` Anyone know what I've done wrong? Thanks for any help.

*Sigh* This isn't going to work, methinks. People won't stop buying newspapers on a morning, and sine most of Anon are just teenagers, I doubt they buy them in the first place. Music isn't downloaded legally 99% of the time, and if it is an illegal download, they're hurting their own side. No-one legally buys software, games or films anymore, and cinemas charge ridiculous amounts so no-one goes to them anyway. Then there's books. No-one buys books. I can't see this getting off the ground.

As long as it had substance to it, a game that's completely random would be fun.

You don't NEED sound. It's just nice to have it playing, but most don't bother with it.

Just go to **File > Make Eclipse.exe**

I can't really tell what they are, which is a down-point for players. Plus Blizzard are likely to have copyrighted their graphics - I wouldn't continue if I were you.

Threeeeee

@Kusy: > Ok, my post was a bit harsh and offensive, in a bit too trollish manner. We can do a serious discussion here. No offence, but I pretty much expected that. But I'm happy to discuss it properly if you want. @Kusy: > Families in mind, ok… now, can we stick to arguments even slightly touching reality? I understand that the author say that, he might even mean it. Problem is - it's not reality. How many parents you know that watch cartoons with their kids? And now how many parents you know that use the TV as an electric shepherd? > > I know we all would like to live in a world, where every family with children looks like it was taken straight out of a Wii commercial, where parents are sitting with their children on a black, leather couch in a ducking huge and sterile living room in front of a big ass flat-screen. Well, it's not the case, children watch cartoons by themselves. I'm pretty sure most parents do watch cartoons with their children. I know I wouldn't let them watch things if I hadn't watched it first, and there always will be parents like that, a considerable amount more than you would think. That's who the references are for, and however small you think they are, it doesn't diminish the point. @Kusy: > And while you can and do appreciate references to movies, books and other media you grown up with, the target of any given cartoon will not. Because the show that was referenced stopped being aired 10 years before they were born. It's a really common problem right now, let's say Rango. Hasbro started referencing bygone pop culture when they found out that teenage guys were watching it, it's pretty much for us to fap over. People started saying that it reminded them of older cartoons, so Lauren Faust wrote it in. @Kusy: > Adventure Time is my favorite cartoon at the moment, I haven't seen anything that would make me laugh that hard and that often in a long while… but if I had a kid, I'm not sure I'd like it to watch it, with me or without me. Adventure Time is a pretty straightforward, soft-core parody of Conan. And while some cartoons refer to things children don't or can't know, this particular one refers to things they shouldn't know. As much as I enjoy it, I'm pretty surprised someone allowed it to be aired, because it's obviously not for small children that OBVIOUSLY watch it. Not all cartoons are for kids. Take Family Guy or Happy Tree Friends, definitely not appropriate. MLP is worth watching for both kids and adults and it's the balance that makes it such a good cartoon. @Kusy: > Your argument about Friendship is Magic not being silly (as a positive thing) is completely out of place. Cartoons should be silly, they should have silly humor in them, because that is what children like. When you were 5, you didn't watch The Simpsons because of it's political and social commentary - you watched it because it was colorful and silly. If you expect children cartoons to challenge you intellectually and you fail to find that challenge, the problem lays in you looking for entertainment in the wrong place, not in the cartoon being bad - again, it's like saying that rattles are inferior to toy cars. And this is to the defense of the original My Little Pony cartoons - those that I loved to watch when I was 3 years old, along with Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry and Disney Movies. I didn't mean silly as in funny, I meant silly as in pointless or idiotic. There are hilarious bits in FiM, like when Rainbow Dash is running from Pinkie Pie incredibly quickly, and Pinkie Pie just bounces after her slowly, but when Rainbow lands there, she's sat on Pinkie Pies head, or she's behind her. There's also when Pinkie Pie says to Gilda 'And I've got my eye on you!' and her eyes bounce out on every syllable and hit Gilda in the face. @Kusy: > I can find few things that are disturbing for me in Friendship is Magic… and by disturbing I mean it. For example, I don't really understand why all the characters are so feminine, and you can't possibly deny that they are. All those ponies have more in common with fashion models than they have with actual horses, and I find it somewhat wrong. Maybe I'm looking a bit too deep into it, but I think our culture is already revolving around being pretty, I don't think we need to lower the age at witch girls feel bad about themselves anymore. Most of the ponies aren't as feminine as you think. There are characters like Rarity, who's a fashion designer. Of course she will be, but the others aren't. Rainbow Dash is a tomboy athlete. Applejack works on a farm and is always covered in mud. Twilight would rather study than preen herself and Fluttershy is just an average female. There are background ponies like Lyra, who sit like slobs, or the male ponies like Doctor Whooves, Big Macintosh the farmer, Braeburn the Cowboy and Soarin' the athlete. It's easier to sympathise with a human-like horse than a horse, too. If it were anything like real life the show would be dull. @Kusy: > And few words on animation. I have no respect or sympathy towards any cartoon that is obviousl made in flash. Maybe it does look pleasant, but I don't find it any better than stuff found on newgrounds. It's a mass production and it's silly to think otherwise. People do parodies that are impossible to tell apart from the original by just following lines and copy pasting vector graphics. There was more effort put into drawing original Scooby Doo, and that shit was drawn pretty bad. That's your opinion. It doesn't really bother me.

PVP is already in the engine. Just set the map moral to none.
