TextOS

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:53:31 +0000

Code:

obj
    textOS
        icon='text.dmi'
        icon_state="?"
mob/proc
    textNew(str)
        var

        while(curloc<=strlen)
            var/l = copytext(str,curloc,curloc+1)
            if(l in icon_states(i))
                lstr["[curloc++]"] = "[l]"
            else if(l == " ")
                lstr["[curloc++]"] = " "

                lstr["[curloc++]"] = "?"
        curloc = 1 //recycling

                curry--//will add safety check later
            totalx+=schar[lstr["[curloc]"]]

            letter.screen_loc="[currx],[curry]"
            letter.icon_state="[lstr["[curloc++]"]]"

Problem description:
schar["letter"] = number is the width of the letter.

I hate asking, but I've been looking through it for the past few minutes trying to figure what's wrong. Yet I cannot. There comes no runtime or compile time errors. it's just nothing shows.

DMCGI on Windows

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 02:57:33 +0000

Nadrew asked the question here: http://www.byond.com/members/ DMCGI?command=view_post&post=83641 on 10/11/09 "Do you want DMCGI on windows?" 17 v 6 said Yes.
The reason I myself would like to see it is for those people (Like myself) who use Windows for just about everything (especially) Gaming. Most users cannot afford to rent linux servers on a monthly/yearly basis no matter how low of the cost, and have no experience working with linux at all. Which eliminates the potential for it to grow as it could.

Zoom (for Icons greater than 32x32)

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:46:51 +0000

Now that the Icon editor has been expanded to handle editing of icons up to 256x256, can we get a new feature called zoom? (maybe 2x or even 4x max) Instead of having to lean so close to the monitor that your face is pressing up against it to modify pixels for when you are creating a wall in isometric views.

2 Extra Pixel = Smoothness?

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:25:42 +0000

I'm posting this here because as the title says I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour

http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/5294/bugorintended.png

The 2 extra pixels is the only way I can get the graphic to create a smooth wall as seen here: http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/9627/boi2.png

If it is intended, then this is a how-to create smooth walls for those who don't know :D.

Icon Editor Feature

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:12:32 +0000

Ability to type inside of the icon editor. as it is now copy pasting small 6pt text from Paint to DM is a pain in the *** because of all of the anti-aliasing paint adds to it.

Saving Files Remotely

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 01:11:19 +0000

Code:
Client.dm

mob/verb/File2Server(F as file)
    world.Export("byond://[servaddr]?ftp",F)

Server.dm

world/Topic(msgx, locx)
    var/act = copytext(msg,1,4)
    switch(act)
        if("ftp")
            if(locx in Verified)
                world<<"ActServ([locx]) File Transfer."
                //What should be here?
                return 1
            else
                return 0

Problem description:
Where I typed, What should be here I have tried many different ways to try and get the file to be Imported using world.Import(, yet nothing has succeeded. I am attempting to do a ftp() of file x to send it from the Client Machine to the Server Machine maintaining all little bits and bytes of code for proper reading. *Main reason is Save-file transfers.) Yea, I'm a newbie I admit it <.< The reason I have switch(act) is because there are more 3 digit id's I just cut back on them only showing relevant code, so no I cannot get rid of the system completely.

And no there is no variable issues here, I'm just not including every bit of code.

What is the BYOND Work Environment

Example, Is there some sort of office, or is it all from home?

Drop Down list.

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 02:41:21 +0000

For the Interface I would like an option to Click a button then a list drops down from it having selectable options (that the owner may add.) and if you click off of it the list pops hides itself once more. I'm not sure how hard that would be to add in though.

Mappable Datums

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 18:14:54 +0000

I would like to see mappable datums sometime in the future. The reason for my suggestion, is because, there are times when I want to use multiple turfs on a location, But, when I stack one turf on another any turf below it gets fused into the new one making the old one's procedures not read.

I suggest using mappable datum's because upon creation it won't have tons of variables and procedures already set to it, and, it will solve the multiple turf problem where people like to use turfs stacked on top of each other, lowering the excessive amount of object's and mob's used to mimic a turf.

Increase

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 11:54:30 +0000

My suggestion is to increase the max "Colors in Use" in dream maker it's currently: 108 including the mask, sometimes (alot of times) I will make a lot of icons in 1 file, and it will fill up overwriting other colors with new ones.
