They have a pretty cool albeit pricey locomotive set for the Deutsche Reichsbahn, out of stock at this time:

The tail is just about to come off the toy, Jaffa is showing no concerns for it whatsoever! 😛
A cow hoof in the bedroom – was that for a shoe stretcher -or did she intend re-imaginings for a new look decor?
The hypnotising effect of the Weasel War Dance was recently debunked on a local radio program – still looks like the stoats are having fun:

No response from Auctillo yet, so as a matter of interest generated a raw wget listing with generated folder tree of forums using:

–spider –no-parent –recursive –no-verbose –output-file=wgetlog.txt https://stearnvault.com/forums

The idea is that forums contain most of the content of interest, the other sections appear to be well spidered, thus pretty much on tap for anyone interested. Plenty of “mangling” – dates, times, numbers and index.html.tmp for good measure – still there may be a chance of coaxing the peevish brute into an xml.
We’ll also want a private search page for closed areas as content expands – not sure how that can happen without substantial cost to resources and sanity. 🙂

Have it outside! The neighbours are sure to want to get involved, even when the theme is atomic! Come to think of it, a model nuclear plant is sure to pique the interest of local boffins – particularly around the rather refreshing subject of coffee.
Here’s a video of Jaffa. the new pup:

One with Shem

jaffa resting. 🙂

Ah, okay, and the lack of responses to this ResIL issue are a bit of a worry as well. Those input_Libs look good even they are all in C – seems the same with the DevIL sources.
Sounds good, go with including the DevIL code modules rather than compiled DLLs looks to be a better option, although a C++ version of everything would be a plus. 🙂
The link for sources is broken:
http://openil.sourceforge.net/libs/LibSrc.zip
There’s bound to be usable and more up-to-date C++ sources for all those somewhere, but where?
Been looking at whether to get VS or VSC for Morrowind – see:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30527522/what-are-the-differences-between-visual-studio-code-and-visual-studio
For the sheer size of Morrowind it has to be VS no? Are you running that on Windows Server?
Edit: Going with VS of course! MFC, SDK, MSVC and especially CLang use a fair bit of space – some way of leaving any of them out?

Had a look around, it seems that our ubiquitous crawler is a law until itself, and doesn’t emit any noises interpretable by human beings.
Meanwhile, request submitted. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Looks good! Haven’t got things set up yet, sorry. Syntax-wise it certainly looks sturdy enough, if need be there’s always CMake: How to Unit-Test your own CMake Script Macros/Functions?.

Aah, you mean the DevIL component is impacting on the issue with Meson? If so, might be an idea to update it, hopefully with new insights from the current config. 🙂

Is there any chance of decoupling DevIL entirely and pointing the referenced functions to the new ResIL source with minimal drama?

[DeVaultSetter]

Someone mentioned monitor blanking was not a problem in Linux with the same setup, so, well, had to share it. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Hmmm Validation failed for these – 739 still pending:

AAs we have fed the beast with replies, it’s treating a reply as a complete page – rather than associating replies with topic page numbers. We would rather topics with page numbers in the sitemap, would it make sense to pass that on as a request to the plugin author?

Have a desktop shortcut to a folder on the drive (Windows 11 25H2), funny thing is selecting a target file/folder or right click on a contained item does nothing yet the toolbar/ribbon options still work. Navigating to the folder from “root” doesn’t repro …
Well, have at you, it’s fine now. Nice how Explorer doesn’t scream and re-appear with all your saved windows gone. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Yeah, guessing that’s what the library machine type 'x86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64' warnings are on about. It would be easy to check that in the vcxproj files for Windows projects, unlikely they would have built it with anything other than cmake though.
Couple of threads of interest, Hello, there is no 64-bit Debug version under the window and Best DevIL version to use? Should ReSIL be used over DevIL?

[DeVaultSetter]

Oh cool, so NimrodPSI used Meson to build DeviL at some stage? The DeviL docs do say:

CMake is used to handle building DevIL across multiple platforms.

See README.cmake for details.

See what you mean – I’d rebuild them all to x64 machine, else there’s a world of pain ahead. 🙂

Linux may have a problem with dll’s? See for example:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2538635/possible-to-use-a-dll-on-linux

[DeVaultSetter]

Checked the following in the XML Sitemap Generator for Google plugin:

Include custom post type Forums
Include custom post type Topics
Include custom post type Replies
Include custom post type BuddyPress Directories

also removing the virtual robots.txt option as we use our own, and popped the sitemap url into the Google console sitemap section.
All the pages from there are indexed, yet heed The Sitemap Paradox! 😛
Validating the 736 Crawled – currently not indexed may fix a few. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

These are the DevIL dll’s discussed back here? The ~2016 version had a different build method which might be better. Just start a new VS project and compile it might be a thing, ensuring all the functions in exports check out.
Another idea is ResIL, looks like it is still being updated with support. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Might be an idea to include the meson.log in the issue as done here. There’s a couple of other issues similar: Regenerate build.ninja fails on Windows when using MSVC and Fail to find ninja when meson install with VS15 environment.

[DeVaultSetter]

How is it feeling now? I know these things can be annoying if you like sleeping on the side. Sleep on my tummy because of the sciatica but it’s nice to have options. 🙂
Great! Have been meaning to put up a pic, which will happen soon. 🙂
Moving “downstairs” on Friday, so will fire up the HP for a while. 🙂

MS have anonymised some of our posts in their last migration. There were warning banners on their threads apparently, but if you hadn’t been there for a while you wouldn’t have known of the changes.

[DeVaultSetter]

Funny thing WP 6.8.3 complains that it can’t apply security updates to PHP 8.0, so attempting to change it through WP Management got a request for funds thus:

You have discovered a premium feature not available in the regular version of WP Toolkit. Contact your service provider to purchase this feature.

Seems to work in changing it to 8.1 through Select PHP Version although the WP Toolkit is obstinate and still shows PHP 8.0.
Still get a warning in Dashboard/Health:

Your site is running on an older version of PHP (8.1.33), which should be updated

They’re all starting to get a little picky as of late. 😛

Message maps in MFC are covered here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49383622/an-explanation-of-message-maps
In a nutshell MFC does away with the message switches and makes them typed. Probably a good idea for many, here the tendency was to stay with the “native” C++ stuff. 😛
Sounds good – ctime looks nice, the hard bit will be to figure out what David’s plan with time actually was. Other than spending much of it away from Morrowind. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Upvoted this answer as it looks like the solution – looks like VS has been rather kind. 🙂
Wouldn’t harm to check references of LPTIMECALLBACK to see if it is used correctly.
Cool, yes, looks like bouts of teething pain between the approaching tombmilestones from up ahead! 😛
