The best on BYOND

 

 

The Byond and Ubuntu Brawl

So I installed Wine on Ubuntu because I really want to use BYOND in Linux instead of loading up VirtualBox and running XP. The newest version of Wine, wine 0.9.58 allows for a smooth installation of BYOND and everything seems to work until you try to load up the DreamSeeker, then you run into problems. Instead you have to revert back to Wine 0.9.51 if you want to get BYOND working in Linux. Also, you'll need a list of dlls to be overwritten:

(Not sure if this list is accurate, but it worked for me)

msvcirt.dll
ole32.dll
oleaut32.dll
riched20.dll
riched32.dll
rpcrt4.dll
shlwapi.dll


Like I said, this gets BYOND working in Wine 0.9.51, not the newest version of Wine (0.9.58). If anyone has any information on how to get BYOND working in the newest version of Wine please let me know, I'm all ears. ^_^

Good luck to you Linux users!

New Layout... at last

Well, I had made this layout a while ago, but I finally got around to putting it up on BYOND. It's honestly not that fun and exciting editing the css for BYOND, but I guess I have to deal with it. I hope this layout works for everyone as I haven't don't huge tests with it yet.

Oh... yes I know, the "Add" comment box is grey. I left it like that because I kinda like it heh.

I'll try later on to test the members_info stuff, but for now I want to take a break.

Linux + XP = Great

So lately I've been doing a lot of web development, and being pretty much the Senior Programmer at my job, I've been having a lot of fun. What's even more fun is that I've finally taken off Vista from my pc and installed Ubuntu instead. Not only that, but I was able to get VirtualBox working and can now run XP and Linux together. The only bad part about installing XP on my laptop is that I have SATA drives... yea... Here's a screenshot:

A Tale of Funny Kids and Code Stealers

*Censored* (By will...)
So, lately I've been looking for people to help with my game, in particular, Mappers! Well, the funniest stuff happens when you look for help, you get the people that want to help your game and then say, "By the way, I'm working on my own game as well." Now, I can care less whether or not I give out my map code to people, because if they run off with the code they don't really have much to work with in terms of making their own game.

Anyways, recently, a guy named Kenshi Ryoko, whose MSN name is "Minato Namikaze" has been the latest person to volunteer. Now, he's working on his own "Naruto" game but I said, "sure, you can help me if you want." He also told me that he is from and lives in Japan, although when was the last time you saw a HUGE Japanese Chicago Bulls? Anyways, a conversation I had with him turned out very funny.



Goten84: Hey I have a question. How would you design the Chunnin exam forest?


Minato Namikaze: hmmm

Minato Namikaze: well my chuunin forest is 4 maps big


Goten84: I see. Btw, how far are you with your game?


Minato Namikaze: 10% done


Goten84: oh, so you just started? How much of the coding have you done already?


Minato Namikaze: I coded Ino clan

Minato Namikaze: it actuallly works


Goten84: Ah, so you're doing it all from scratch as well

Goten84: What features will make your game different from the others?


Minato Namikaze: well its a rip right now But Imma add so much coding it'll turn original



Lets take a break right here. I should inform you that yesterday Minato told me he was working on a game completely from scratch and didn't like the idea of rips. I'll continue this fascinating story:


Minato Namikaze: Didn


Goten84: oh

Goten84: The WOTS source?


Minato Namikaze: no I didnt use wots


Goten84: Oh heh, which source?



Minato Namikaze Signs Off for no reason

5 secs later a guy with the name Kenshi Ryoko adds me to their MSN contact list- Keep in mind that Minato Namikaze's Byond key is Kenshi Ryoko!!!


Kenshi Ryoko: hello

Kenshi Ryoko: Hey bitch


Goten84: hey, welcome back


Kenshi Ryoko: ?

Kenshi Ryoko: Welcome Back?


Goten84: Oh, I thought you were Minato



Kenshi Ryoko Signs Off for no reason

5 sec later a guy named Takura Kaora adds me to their contact list


Takura Kaora: uh hello

Takura Kaora: I heard you were making a game


Goten84: Yea, a Naruto one


Takura Kaora: Are you a bitch


Goten84: ?

Goten84: what makes you think that?


Takura Kaora: Does your girlfriemd right there give deep throat


Goten84: why wouldn't she?


Takura Kaora: she is?

Takura Kaora: Maybe I come over and she can have a blow pop


Goten84: hmm..., what's this about?


Takura Kaora: Nah Its a test of courage



Takura Kaora signs off..., then signs back on just to say this!


Takura Kaora: BYE NIGGA!!!!



Ok, seriously, I'm laughing at the entire scenario because I'm pretty sure it's this Minato guy, and sure enough 10 seconds later he signs back on.


Goten84: what was that whole thing about with the different user names?


Minato Namikaze: hmm?


Goten84: lol nm, I'll just forget about it


Minato Namikaze: what happened?


Goten84: Meh, nothing really; Some fans were really excited about the game and your maps :D


Minato Namikaze: lol really?


Goten84: Well, you did say you're renown, so I guess they were just friends that liked your work


Minato Namikaze: Why did they contact you?

Minato Namikaze: Did they piss you off?



At this point I'm thinking, "Why the heck would they piss me off?" ....


Goten84: lol, why would they piss me off?


Minato Namikaze: You said you would forget about it....but w/e i guess

Minato Namikaze: lol


Goten84: It was just something random that happened that was kinda funny. I figured you were a popular guy haha. I'm not that popular to have people message me.


Minato Namikaze: oh

Minato Namikaze: lol I have almost 400 ppl on friendlist


Goten84: Ah, yea I have about 40-50

Goten84: Only about 20 show up daily



The conversation went on, peacefully and I didn't bring up the different user names from that point on. I just thought it was a pretty funny conversation and in the end he was much nicer to me than before. Lesson of the day, Flaming/arguing never really solves anything. Also, I'm a really nice person but I'm not stupid.

Personal Projects on my server

So lately I've been working on a separate personal php project on my dedicated server I bought a while ago. The project is taking it's time to develop, so I won't spill out any details yet, but it's been fun. I hope that by the end of this month I can announce the project and get users to sign up. I can say that it involves games! No promises on any dates though.

Also, since a more stable Linux version of Byond 4 has been released I may try to put my Byond game up on my server. Before I was against it, but I might try it out just for fun and see how it goes.
