There was a blog here.

Yeah, yeah, everyone makes their "I'm leaving Byond" post at some point and come back a week later. But I've completely cleared out my account of identifying data in lieu of deleting it. I might come back to post a link to a project, but other than that, nah. I haven't played any BYOND games in years, just been moderating one and that was just out of obligation.

But, 8 years or so was long enough. Especially since I never got around to finishing a single game. I'm gonna screw with making 3D games for now. Might even finish one.

See you around.

(Yeah, I know you're thinking about posting a "See you in a X amount of time.")

Alpha + and - in RGB has same result.

Sun, 16 Sep 2007 20:48:49 +0000

Applicable Configuration:
BYOND Version: 401.963
Operating System: Vista Home Premium
Web Browser: IE
Video Card (for graphics bugs): GeForce 6150SE nForce430

Descriptive Problem Summary: Adding and Subtracting RGB Alpha has the same result.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:

mob/verb
    alphaone()
        for(var/turf/alphatest/A in world)
            A.icon-=rgb(0,0,0,100)
    alphatwo()
        for(var/turf/alphatest/A in world)
            A.icon+=rgb(0,0,0,100)

Expected Results: alphaone would fade the icon by subtracting the alpha value, alphatwo would bring it back by adding to it.

Actual Results: Both alphaone and alphatwo fade the icon by subtracting the alpha value.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Everytime.

I might just be an idiot and doing it wrong, though I doubt it. Sorry if this has been posted before, but I did a search and couldn't find it anywhere.

How do I create an eye location.

Sat, 24 Sep 2005 07:09:23 +0000

I am trying to create a turf that allows me to set a new eye location.
When I use
verb/Watch()
client
eye = locate(25,25,1)
Verb/Stop_Watching()
client
eye = locate(usr.loc)
or
verb/Watch()
client.eye = locate(25,25,1)
Verb/Stop_Watching()
client.eye = locate(usr.loc)
It claims eye and client is not a var.
When I use
verb/Watch(mob/M)
M.client.eye = locate(25,25,1)
Verb/Stop_Watching()
M.client.eye = locate(M.x,M.y,M.z)
it goes to black and the second verb disappears.
