Titlebar

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:20:52 +0000

Problem description:
Hi there.

I'm showing a window with winshow(). Its sole purpose is to show a chat output. I have it set to re-size but this doesn't allow you to move the window around. Is there a prettier way of doing this without ticking title bar?

Thanks

flick() appearing at the wrong time

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 13:26:47 +0000

Code:

obj/Skills/Substitute
    icon='Test.dmi'
    icon_state="b"
    mouse_drag_pointer="b"
    layer=91
    proc
        Tech(mob/M)
            set popup_menu = 0
            src=M

            M.invisibility = 101

            var/mob/Clone/MM = new()//creates a clone of the user
            MM.owner = M
            MM.icon = M.icon
            MM.icon_state = M.icon_state
            MM.overlays += M.overlays.Copy()
            MM.underlays += M.underlays.Copy()
            MM.loc = M.loc
            MM.health = infinite

            sleep(55)//time for player to run around invisible

            flick(/obj/smoke,MM)//flick smoke on the clone to see hes disappearing
            sleep(3)
            var/obj/Log/L = new(MM.loc)//create a log in its place so they know theyve been fooled
            del(MM)

            spawn(30)
                flick(/obj/smoke,L)//when thats complete, in 30 ticks delete the log
                sleep(3)
                del(L)

            M.subon = 0
            flick(/obj/smoke,M)//poof of smoke at the users real location to show hes visible again.
            M.invisibility = 0

Problem description:

When the skill is used, flick() goes off at the very start where the clone is created. I don't want this.. I only want it to do that after the sleep is completed. I have no idea why its doing this. flick() is after sleep after-all?

Code:

            var/mob/Clone/MM = new()
            MM.owner = M
            MM.icon = M.icon
            MM.icon_state = M.icon_state
            MM.overlays += M.overlays.Copy()
            MM.underlays += M.underlays.Copy()
            MM.loc = M.loc
            MM.health = infinite
            
            sleep(55)
            
            flick(/obj/smoke,MM)
            sleep(3)
            var/obj/Log/L = new(MM.loc)
            del(MM)

            spawn(30)
                flick(/obj/smoke,L)
                sleep(3)
                del(L)
                
            M.subon = 0
            flick(/obj/smoke,M)
            M.invisibility = 0

Problem description:

flick(/obj/smoke,M) is happening before the sleep(55) When the clone is being created. Even know I don't want that.

Something to do with Copy()?

Console

Fri, 23 Sep 2011 07:43:42 +0000

Ive decided that I might buy a console. Reason being when I head off for unknown lands without internet Ill need something to do!

Are there any other consoles to consider?

Stout

Tue, 20 Sep 2011 08:21:40 +0000

I know the brewery's wont tell you their secret recipe for their famous stouts. But I have been performing some tests and came up with the recipe used for this particular stout.

First off, You will need:

* Ready mix tar
* Cough syrup
* 2-stroke Motor Oil
* Laxatives
* A Dark Shoe polish
* A super powered Blender

Step one:

Prepare a Stainless steel mixing bowl 3 inches thick to contain the ingredients without corrosion.

Step two:

Place all the ingredients in the bowl, To taste. You may need someone with some super large balls to assist with the taste.

Step three:

Mix on high speed for 6 hours. Set aside in the sun for 2 hours then Enjoy.

---

I'm amazed people drink this stuff. The ingredient that most describes it is motor oil.

Awful Stuff!

Does anyone drink it?

Just decided to write.

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 13:50:03 +0000

Not that many care, but being a stuck up young Australian that loves himself (Who didn't at 18?) I thought I'd write about the direction my life is headed!

I'm not great at writing this sorta stuff out. But here goes.

I've wanted to be a carpenter ever since I built my first woodwork project in high school. I made a magazine rack that wouldn't even fit a decent sized magazine in it. That didn't stop me from taking it home and filling it with all the books that I could fit.
Ever since then I had an obsession with making things out of timber. Looking at big projects like the MCG oval or Sydney opera house and thinking about how someone could possibly create something so amazing. That stuff blows my mind.

Anyway, about this time last year I was doing year 11 that was based around a Construction career. I did your basic maths, English and Physical Recreation to help me get at where I needed to be. Along with a class on my chosen Career.
This got me even keener when I went for two weeks work experience with a company building a big medical center. I got to go around with a carpenter and cladded almost the whole thing in hebel panel walls! I was loving it!

A week into my work experience the company put an ad in the paper looking for apprentices so I spent loads of time during class preparing a resume to win myself an apprenticeship. To my delight, I was offered an interview. My first proper interview ever.

On the day of the interview I was as white as a ghost and felt like id been hit by a truck as I got within 200m of the door.
The first couple of questions were hard to answer because I was shaking so much and had to force words up from deep down in my throat.
A couple of questions, I came up with some really stupid answers and thought I had blown it. But I Pushed on until the finish.

I've lost my chance, Why was I so Terrible? Why couldn't I just be myself! all these things went through my head but I decided to forget about it and apply for some more apprenticeships.

Two weeks later I received a phone call. I was offered an apprenticeship! Brilliant!

I almost started straight away.
Two weeks into my apprenticeship I was the happiest teen alive. Even happier when I was brought $2000 worth of tools by the company. These tools were like pure gold to me and were assorted 300 different ways in my toolbox until I was happy. You might laugh. But I spent the whole weekend obsessed with them and even wore my nail bag(toolbelt) around the house.

Anyway with the good comes the bad. My Grandfather passed away after that and just recently the other one too. Hopefully they finished off knowing I was on the right track and were proud.

This was a real downer for my family as we were really close. I really didn't want to go to work at this stage but pushed on.

about a year later and things are as good as ever.
Doing 12 hours a day a fair way from home which is a real experience. Loving every bit of it!

What else? well. Soon enough I can get my licence Which will be good as. Since I started Ive been saving up and am after a 2001 Subaru forester limited. which is a one colour forester unlike the normal two tone ones.

Anyways I'm starting to lose my motivation here. So there you have it!

Find/replace

Problem description:

I recently used the find/replace option to replace src with M but all files was selected, and now I have a whole heap of errors and no way to sort them back out without a whole heap of labour.

Any fixes?
