You guys are just plainm being asses now, my post talking about linux and opengl is not unreasonable, do you guys really think your funny poking fun at us?

I'm not making fun of you at all. I'm just making a joke. No need to take things personally.

If you're going to have mouse control for the cannon then I suggest setting the Machine Gun control to the right mouse button. Unless you want to mail me an extra hand

Another recommendation, though not as important: if you ever have any mouse/keyboard combo controls in your game it's probably a good idea to map your movement to WASD. It's just more comfortable that way. Unless you're a lefty, I guess.

Also of interest is Deadeye's "Hitler in Toyland" (So sorry if that title is incorrect)

What? Nobody's interested in that.

Speaking of which though, I haven't worked on it at all since getting my "new" graphics card. I've pretty much just been playing games. Funny, that... I wanted a new card so I could be more productive, and it's had entirely the opposite effect.

Oh, and uh, welcome Codemonkey.

OMG NO! It's return of Terro...

Long story short, I was admin of my very own boards with hundreds of IDIOTS posting crap by the minute... I threw the towel in because the morons decided to chew on the hand that fed them... one of the guys name was Terro, and he ALWAYS used to post that exact smiley face but in GIANT SIZE. It haunts me still...

The History of Awesome Face:

Like many once-funny but now tired internet memes, the Awesome Face started at Something Awful. It was originally a simple, innocuous smiley with the tag :awesome:

As with most good things people ran it into the ground, though in this case faster than usual. SA was divided into two camps: those who used it in every post, and those who were absolutely sick to death of it.

It spawned many variants (example).

Eventually the moderators got so sick of seeing it that they changed the :awesome: tag to a smiley depicting a nerd regarding a large erection, and changed the Awesome Face smiley to the tag :iamafag:

Right around the time it died at SA the rest of the internet picked it up and has been flogging that dead horse ever since. While not as infamous as "i herd u liek mudkips," "IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND," or "Do a barrel roll," it's still a horrible meme and anyone who uses it should be terribly ashamed, unless it's done in an ironic fashion as I'm sure SuperV meant it to be

...it would be nice to expand the platforms that Construct could run on.

I would like Construct to run on my Commodore 64, this is not an unreasonable request.

MAKE IT SO

GeForce 6200, 256 MB, Pixel Shader 3

Demo B is bugged for me If I change the screen size to 640x480 or 1024x768 then when I press Space the program freezes. I can only test 800x600, and it seems to run about the same speed as Demo A, 15-20fps.

Same story with Demo C.

If anyone has any tips on stuff I can do to squeeze a better framerate out of my card, I'm all ears.

the green for the czar-green theme isn't quite right; it either has a bit more yellow mixed in the overall colour or it had parts that would fade into a lighter green; it could also be a combination of both! the green is throwing me off, that's pretty much the only reason i'm not using that theme, sorry, deadeye =P

Yeah, looking at it now I think you're right. Like I said in the other thread, all I really had to go on was Doppel's signature and my own (poor) memory. I think it did come out a little too olive. It's close, though. And I agree with Rich, the header is a little to dark and drab. I'll change that when I get around to it.

And I'll see if I can find the old Czar Green theme for the previous board version and compare it. That's probably what I should have done in the first place... oh well

Argh, you're too fast! I just realized after uploading it that the header text looked all jagged for some reason. Here's a new one with smoother text, if you could replace it:

Very nice work

Awsome! You're the man Deye!

Thanks

And as far as the saturation goes on the header, I went off of Doppel's sig image to try to match up the color. I could bump up the saturation a bit and not make it so olive-colored if you need it.

Okay, I think I have everything done. All the images are changed, and all the orange colors in the .css have been changed to greens. I don't have any way to test it for real though, so I don't know if everything is covered, or if it even looks cohesive (I just kinda eyeballed stuff and went off of memory.) I did download a sample forum page though and was able to test the link colors, so I think that part at least looks okay.

Anyway, here it is:

It's the whole package .rared up, just like if you downloaded the install package for Czar Orange. Only it's green.

And here's the header (it's also included in the .rar) :

I know the logo is different than the old one, but I don't really remember exactly how it looked.

Once it's installed if there's anything that needs tweaking I'll go ahead and do it. It'll be easier to see what needs changing when everything is put together.

I would like Orange/Green Czar please.

Orange is up, you can change it in your profile settings. I'm working on green right now. About halfway done with the images. (There's a lot more than "about five images," Rich )

I'm also tweaking the icons a bit to make more sense. For instance, this is the icon for "forum unread locked" in Czar Orange:

<img src="http://i28.tinypic.com/9joqb9.gif">

It's totally arbitrary. You can't tell what it means at a glance. So I changed it to this in green:

<img src="http://i32.tinypic.com/28u0dj9.gif">

It's a little more obvious what it means that way.

Yep. I made some screen savers back when I first started using Construct.

There isn't any real proper screen-saver support though, so the name will show up funny in your screen saver list, and you won't be able to make options. But it does work.

If you're willing to make this into a green style (about 5 images would need a recolouring) I'd like to upload that too it'd look pretty similar to the old one then, if people miss it.

Okay, I'll give it a shot. The .css would need to be changed too though, there's orange highlighting when you hover over links. It's just a small change though.
