Don't wanna pester...

Didn't really want to make an entire topic about it, but would someone mind reviewing my libraries? =P

Calling Move() through another obj...

Mon, 17 May 2004 14:51:59 +0000

I've got little RC cars, and I was wondering how I'd call its Move() proc using src's move data while they're "driving" it.

mob
    Move()
        if(src.isdriving)
            for(var/obj/inventory/rccar/R in world)
                R.Move(???)
            return 0

Turn on a dime? I think not.

I was coding along on Racer Euphoric's racing game, when he hit me with a question I have no solution to. His game uses cars that are from the full side view when moving east/west(64x32), and one tile "back" and "front" views when going north/south. His question was, "How are we going to make these turn? I don't want them just snapping into the next position.". He wants to add drifting and such, which also can't function without a solution to this.

Any ideas?

Assign infinity?

I've got a lame shop or two in my game, and I was wondering... how would I assign infinite cash to the moderators? I imagine this has to be done through an error or intentional oversight in a mathematical equation, but how?

Odd runtime.

I didn't think this was an actual BYOND bug, so I posted it here instead of in BYOND bugs.

BYOND(339.869) BUG: failed to read icon file 'table>

Total: 1' from cache (0 bytes written on Sat May 08 16:51:37 2004)

What does that mean?

Kinda dumb question regarding savefiles.

Sat, 08 May 2004 14:05:46 +0000

Does the associated extension matter when outputting savefiles? Could I use just any old one- to three-letter extension I felt like using (save from obvious problems that may occur, like using .dll or .exe)?

A game host's address var.

Thu, 06 May 2004 07:49:11 +0000

I've got a few questions on what value a world host's IP address takes in certain situations, and I appreciate any help.

What value does it take when...
...the key of the person hosting the world logs in?
...the host logs in with another key besides the one they're hosting on?
...the host logs into a world being hosted by them on Daemon?
...the host closes the port with at least one other player in the world? Also, in this case, what value does the port take?

Spyware everywhere... I'm surrounded...

I can't get rid of it! Shortly after I got on the computer yesterday afternoon (my younger brother was playing prior), I got bombed with ad windows. Right around 150 of them before the Close Group function kicked in, then I had to keep doing that for about five minutes. I ran an Ad-Aware scan, it found about 400 new objects (It's found absolutely zero ever since I've had it), and that stopped the ad window bombing, but now I'm getting a new ad or install-on-demand window every five minutes. I ran Norton, it found about 40 malware/adware objects, deleted most of em, I edited the rest out of the registry and manually deleted the rest myself. Still ad windows every five minutes. I run Ad-Aware a hour later. 200 new objects, and I've been routinely scanning and deleting crap, each time turning up another 200 or so objects, and more stuff I have to remove myself. It's bogging down Internet Exploder like nuts, it took me ten minutes to load the forum page because "it" was downloading it's next cycle of ads.

To the point: Ad-Aware and Norton 04 are doing nothing more than denting an exponentially increasing annoyance, any suggestions?

Verb panels.

Wed, 28 Apr 2004 21:06:04 +0000

If possible (or not already provided, heh), we should be provided an option to force the verb panels to display X amount of columns, instead of how it's done automatically (however that may be), and also to control alphabeticizing of the verbs, so we can choose the original format of:

A verb B verb
C verb D verb

Or an "alternate" format of:

A verb C verb
B verb D verb

Is it in their inventory?

Mon, 26 Apr 2004 03:22:45 +0000

How would I construct an if() statement to check if an object is in someone's inventory without defining the person with the inventory?

Delete_Stuff()
for(var/obj/O in world)
if() continue // ?
del(O)
