Saw The Monolith Monsters the other day and that was fun. They really don’t make them like they used to!

This was a fun one. Had some pretty good lines but, sadly, the quotes area at IMDB is pretty lacking

May watch Attack of the Crab Monsters next but haven’t made a firm decision. Pretty much pick whatever I’m in the mood for. 😛

Could watch…[Read more]

I’m currently working on the several arrays in esm/EsmBase.cpp, reformatting them so they’re a lot more readable, and they’re going to need some comments to describe what each field is for once we figure that out. The first field is obvious: it’s the text description but the next ones are unclear. For the animation array, for instance, it’s just a…[Read more]

Class members are going to need to be rearranged. They’ve got separate sections for members and methods which makes it hard to see everything at a glace so the sections are probably going to be combined. The order is also inconsistent so that’s going on the list as well

Additionally, I’m identifying various if-statements that could use optimizing. 🙂

Google disabled new posts last year, which is a shame but I guess they were tired of hosting forums. I should catch up on C++20 and C++23 at some point. There have been quite a few changes. That said, I don’t like the new import feature as it makes it harder to tell where stuff is coming from. Do like the looks of the new std::println() function,…[Read more]

Tried again to hunt down the main function or WinMain but still couldn’t find it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was done as a macro somewhere. I’ll keep an eye out as I go and will take a close look at the VS project files when I get there.

Going through the esm folder and the code is really hard to understand without proper includes and…[Read more]

Another note!

Until the switch to GTK takes place, we’ll need to consider compiler support for the Windows GUI library. I know that, in the past, MinGW’s version of the Windows API had limited support for the Windows GUI library. It’s something that needs to be looked at again and kept in mind.

APC also has good UPSs if you want to compare prices. Features should be similar.

Yeah, parts for these kinds of devices are always hard to find. They shouldn’t be! Supposedly replaceable parts but that assumes you can get them and get them for reasonable prices. Reminds me of the days when phones had swappable batteries: nobody sold them! You…[Read more]

Yeah, a lot of open source projects have poor documentation. A lot of stuff needs to figured out with trial and error. It’s a shame but we don’t usually write good docs and it’s hard to get volunteers to fill in the blanks. 🙁

Ooh, that repository looks nice. Will need to explore it when I have time. 🙂
Do wish some of the files had better…[Read more]

What are the interior and exterior sections for? Never used the plguin before 🙂

Watched The Atomic Submarine yesterday. Bit different from most flying saucer films as it takes place in the water. Pretty fun!

Also watched Lethal Target, which was an alien rip-off with a lot more sex. A lot more. By the time we hit the halfway point of the film, we had two sex scenes and a lesbian threesome while the rest of the cast was just…[Read more]

Common is done. Now I can start reviewing the main code. 🙂

Great, thanks. Will keep it in mind. Looks like GTK mostly handles that internally so it may go away when the switch is made:)

Found the path stuff: https://github.com/boss-developers/boss/commit/bee3deb160258054165908b7104815a783a69afd

Not sure if the version in the standard has the same behavior or if wide paths are needed but we’ll find…[Read more]

Pretty sure I was able to fix it using the standard features. I vaguely recall that I may have simply switched over to the wide string type (simply wstring compared to string) from the normal one but it’ll need verification. It would increase memory a tad since it has to allocate more storage per character but the effect should be negligible

Most…[Read more]

There’s a chance the program doesn’t work well with Unicode paths. I forget how I fixed it in BOSS but I’ll see if I can track things down if it turns out the paths have issues. This mostly affected languages that weren’t based on the Latin character set, so Russian and several Asian languages for example.

Okay, Glade’s replacement is called Cambalache. Currently, it appears to be *nix only but there are plans to get it working officially on Windows at some point.

I used to catch these films on Hulu back when it was free. They had a huge selection of old science fiction films. When they went paid, they removed almost all of them. Was very sad when that happened 🙁

Watched It Came From Beneath the Sea the other day and that was fun. Tubi has the colorized version of The Giant Gila Monster but those are no…[Read more]

That actually brings up a good question: is the issue referring to the tab key or a GUI tab? I can’t tell based on the description.

Sounds like it should be able to, unless the conditions listed are met. Sounds like a null pointer or similar is causing the issue with it assuming the data is there and crashes when it realizes there’s nothing to…[Read more]

More notes!

Taking a look at the issues, issue 3 may or may not be still relevant. It would need testing with the current UI library to make sure it wasn’t an old bug in Windows.

Issue 9 sounds like it’s an issue in the base CS as opposed to MWEdit so should probably be deleted from the issue list.

No idea what 7 would be referring to. That’s…[Read more]

Ah, yeah, that definitely does some odd stuff.

There was a group on Dark Creations trying to do that back when I was adminning there but I don’t know what became of the project. They never did post publicly but development seemed fairly active

Part of my trouble with it is that it’s taking me a bit to get my creativity back. I’m also out of…[Read more]

Having difficulty getting back into Minecraft. I’ll keep making new worlds until I figure it out again.
