  • I find the best way to get rid of the "me too" hackers is to simpley rename the .ini extension to something a bit more scary looking like .cab, .dat or something in the same line of things that way they are to scared to open it.

  • 1st question Yes Random(10)+10 will return a random value between 10 and 20.

    2nd and 3rd Yes but you have to program it if you are looking for dungeon algorithms and such look up rouge.

    what are you trying to save in the .ini file? (levels, game state etc...)

  • Honestly I use .ini files along with level editing saving and loading I use hash tables as a varible container for each object that needs pvs because they are easy to set up at runtime. I also made a plugin that makes for easy loading back in for the .ini file and recently modded it to be able to load values into a hash table attached to an object as long as they are in containers.

    the problem with hash table it there is no way to easily Identify the object unless you did something like 1name = sprite1 1x=36 1y=24 1z=3 wich could get tedious especially if you wanted pvs to be loaded as well.

    with an .ini file every thing is grouped nicely and easy to go load and loop through.

    [1]

    oid=1

    x=34

    y=36

    z=3

    a=130

    speed=160

    range=30

    all those values are easily loaded into the runtime with one event

    -foreach group- create object (ini.currentgroup,oid), at (currentgroup,x), (current group y) on layer (currentgroup, z) at angle current group,a.
--for each Item 
--current item =/= a,x,y,z,oid-> hash table insert key STR(currentItem), with value ini.value(currentgroup, current Item)[/code:l2poat0l]

Thats pretty close the the sytax I just got off a 12 hour shift at work I have a cap where I tested this and it worked perfectly ill see if I cant dig it up for you ( you would need to install my plugin though)

  • You could have the out side program write into a text file and then read the text file to get the return. then just delete the text file.

  • Would it be possible to gt this guys?

  • for a compiler.

    On that note this would be a cool thing to have but a little superfluous becuase if you can get the logic for the stuff you want then its just learning the syntax of the language.

  • If you feel up to it price out how much parts would cost on newegg or tigerdirect and buld it your self the only thing that would be tricky would be the water cooling. Building yourself tends to save you a good chunk of change i priced rigs a year or two ago and i built a nearly 1500 dollar rig for about 700 when I made it my self.

  • I would say the DS alot of good games. I really dont know anything good for the Itouch off the top of my head. DS has hotel dusk trauma center, phoenix write, chrono trigger and many other games.

  • The only thing Ive been trying to say is that you are shooting your sef in the foot audience wise if you have no support for mouse and keyboard AKA a pc game with only 360 controller support would be shooting your self in the foot. Im not saying its a bad thing to have multiple input supports.

  • The effect makes you feel uneasy about moving. Really cool!

  • And how does that make sense?

    Like... if you have a fork, does that mean that you'll never buy a spoon?

    Your comparison makes no sense. A better saying would be if I had a spork(the mouse and keyboard) would I not buy a fork(the controller)? and hell no I would not buy the fork I got a perfectly good spork that does other things (like lets me eat soup) and stab my food with it. The fork would be a waste of money and only let me do one thing while the spork has more options open to it.

    If you're an avid gamer and use your PC for gaming, a controller can be a really cool thing. And in todays world, if you have one of the consoles, you can reuse your controller without a problem on your PC anyway.

    Yeah they might be cool to play with but they should never be necessary to play a game. You would alienate a bunch of possible players just be requires that they use a controller. And what if i dont have a console to use them with? Im supposed to spend a bunch of money (probably more money than I paid for the game) so that I can play it Fuck that.

  • set time scale takes care of all that for you. You were talking about making things run normal when you slow down the time scale.

  • In all honesty though, I think the X360 Controller is one of the best controllers out there (except for Beat em Ups, because the digipad is a piece of s**t), so everyone should get one of em. You can use em for your PC and for your Xbox - quite awesome.

    Ill go right out and spend 40 - 70 dollars on a 360 controller/ wireless adapter when I have a perfectly good mouse and keyboard. </sarcasm>

  • for instance give the playe rthe ability to slow time, but he and perhaps some special enemies are immune or partly immune.

    There is a pretty easy way to do this I forget how off the top of my head I think you multiply the speed of the character by what you diide the time scale bye. Ie time scale = .5 multiply the speed by two.

    Byt yes I agree it would be a good feature to have.

  • You could also use gottolayout - currentlayout to resart the layout.
