TimeBomb

@[PIERATE: > renzozuken2002 link=topic=61677.msg652124#msg652124 date=1277102265] > no, everyone does, everyone else just knows how to read. I read that a sex worker is going to chat with others [obviously not cybering] in Ambardia. I also read that chatting about sex is prohibited. I don't see how I misread the contradiction.

Sorry, I guess its just me that associates sex with pr0n and vice versa.

@Ballie: > He never said that. All he said was "This is not a "chat in" to become involved in any form of pornographic involvement." Talking to a sex worker and becoming involved in that world are two completely different things. There's no contradiction. So you are supposed to talk to her about the weather, or how her day has been going? If so, then what's the point? If not, then I see a contradiction. Talking about sex and saying you don't want people talking about sex is, to me, a contradiction.

@Ambard: > Hu? I'm confused. Although I was being slightly sarcastic, my question is - How are you going to keep seperate sexual chat out of your game during this event when you want your players to talk with someone who does just that?

@Azkanan: > [TimeBomb] > Stupid user discovered. Contradiction discovered.

> _Veronica is a professional **sex** worker in New Orleans_ > **This is not a "chat in" to become involved in any form of pornographic involvement.** Contradiction discovered.

Is this seriously your dad? If so, EPIC! Did he want his vids to be funny like this? Lmao, nonetheless, +1.

I'm saying find a better VB6 Professional setup application that works well. Oh, and 

@silentdemonic: > TimeBomb - you clearly do not have that setup. If you do then dear lord you just saved the entire Internet full of people who have tried to do an Installation of Visual Basic 6 Enterprise on a Windows 7 64bit Machine. How about you read what I wrote before you type? I said after compiling it no longer works and I also said I have to run Visual Basic 6 in Virtual Box (XP install) for the above reason. You are correct about one thing, I did not bother to read the original topic. First of all, the most likely cause of the problem stated in the original post is either a bad version of vb6 or the fact that you are compiling in a VM. Oh, and 

@silentdemonic: > Visual Basic 6 Doesnt run on Windows 7 64 Bit. Running with admin+windows xp SP2 compatibility mode, VB6 studio as well as the eclipse server and client run perfectly fine on my W7-64Bit computer. In other words, what you have said is incorrect.

I gave you great google keywords [via PM] to help you out, as I thought maybe you should learn something, but apparently you are incapable of even googling, so I have no idea how you are going implement this. Anyways, for progress of a download, check out this tutorial: http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2008/03/27/simple-asynchronous-downloads.aspx For progress of the update itself, just adjust the value of a progress bar at certain places in the update sub/class.

Hmm, pointing a gun at my head wouldn't end pretty, and I don't mean for myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhKjpdWyYMc

AFAIK there is no lighting, or at least real lighting, because Eclipse uses DX7, not DX8\. DX7 doesn't support lighting, but DX8 does.

@Harris: > Thanks Robin. > > Just fixed the problem that a 16 x 16 sprite would show in the middle of two tiles instead of centred on one tile. I think you learn a lot more than getting help and doing it yourself than someone just giving you the whole code. In a lot of cases, yes, that is true. In some cases it is just easier to give someone, at the very least, the base code for what they need to do.

Speaking of brute force, make a brute force hacker, and put a toggle on the login screen, so people can try to hack into other people's accounts. Good idea bro, good idea.

@Robin: > You have serious, _serious_ problems. Agreed, now please remove the scar you have put on my life caused by me witnessing these tragedies. Thanks.

Actually, Robin was nice and made it quite easy. modConstants.vb ``` ' Tile size constants Public Const PIC_X As Integer = 32 Public Const PIC_Y As Integer = 32 ``` Of course, you have to change a lot of other 32's if you want to change the game fully to 16 bit. But just the tiles, this is about it (don't quote me though). You'd probably want to edit the map editor to change from taking 32x32 tiles normally to 16x16.

I'm sure it's not 'just' what I'm about to explain, as I haven't looked at anything involving what you're saying, but I think a good start would be to actually ctrl+f and search the number 32 throughout the project, and change it to 16 (this goes for mostly the client, possibly the server as well) where applicable (i.e. when it is to handle the size of the tiles and such).

@Thorn: > See, that's not a good thing. > Sure, you don't let every little thing during the day get to you. So you missed the bus, you can catch the next one. There was no seats free on the bus and you had to stand. You were twenty minutes late for work. > Whatever. > The difference in philosophy here is I'm in favor of 'don't let the little things bring you down' while you seem to be 'duck it I don't even care anymore'. > I just can't see the second route leading to anything good, and even if it somehow did you would be too tuned out to appreciate it. *shrug* I guess not everybody can have the same lifestyle as everybody else.

@Thorn: > Well see, there's a pretty strong distinction there. In fact, those are pretty much two entirely different things. Hehe the only thing is I don't just stop worrying, I turn down the meter in my mind that defines how much I care about things in general, if ya catch my drift.

@Thorn: > Wasn't calling you a douchebag, though looking at it I guess I accidentally implied that. > And not giving a shit is never justified. At best it puts off issues and you have to deal with them later, at worst you start alienating people and causing yourself significant problems. > > Whatever reasons you have, there are better ways to handle them then to not give a shit. I don't think you could change my mind on this. By 'not giving a shit' I dont mean 'being a douchebag' I mean 'stop worrying about every little thing every second of the day'.

@Marsh: > That was actually pretty decent sounding. Not sure about great but definitely worth a listen. The problem is that since Dokken was not the most popular band, there aren't a lot of performances from them on video, and not a lot of high quality MP3s/Videos floating around the world of torrents and piracy. Thus, the videos our quite a bit lower quality then one would like, and a lot of their best stuff isn't up for free, public listening. Still, if you can find a good performance with lynch in it in high quality, it's pretty epic to the ears imo.

@Thorn: First of all, I'm not a douchebag, I'm a troll. Second of all, lately my life has become very stressful for multiple really shitty reasons, so 'not giving a shit' does actually elevate stress off my shoulders. I am saying that, because I have self confidence, I could care less what other people think what I look like. Am I fat? Am I ugly? Am I a hairy ape? I could care less, they can live with it or leave the pool.

@Thorn: > Or scenarios where you value your dignity. Nope, disagree. Unless there is some chick at the pool who you want to bang in the near future, then it really doesn't matter whether you have your shirt on or off. It's something called >self confidence< and >not giving a shit about what other people think
