Spastic Hamburger

And the first book in the Nancy Drew series along with more Agatha Christie. 🙂

And then there was the time that Donald Duck killed Goofy:

Think Geek used to sell an electronic useless machine. Don’t recall the details but it did stuff when you pressed the button.…[Read more]

I’m not sure Ballad of Champions made it out of Japan, which could explain its limited availability. Really need to get more records. Our local record stores focus more on genres that don’t interest me, such as R&B and new age rock. I just haven’t spent much time looking online yet. Just not a big fan of online shopping 😛

Do the built-in Windows…[Read more]

Just to give you a heads up: Free counter stat is blocked by uBlock Origin as a tracker so it may not be able to keep an accurate count.

Decorated my first cake for the holidays last week and it turned out great! Instead of using a pastry bag, I used one of these. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to get a picture before the cake was devoured 😛

Making good progress. The only directories left to update the paths are game/, mwedit/, ui/, and windows/ 🙂

Then I can go back to what I was doing before I got sidetracked and continuing adjusting the missing includes.

And I’ve attempted to update the paths in the resource files. I had trouble with that previously so there’s a good chance that they’ll need to updated yet again once the CI spits out an error. The resource compiler seems to have a limited ability to do includes while MWEdit uses the pre-processor in them extensively. But, as we already know, the…[Read more]

Just be on the lookout for the ghouls that have taken up residence!

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with that location: it felt a bit small relative to the name. I was expecting a sprawling Wal-Mart kind of place 😛

Not sure about the issue in the manager but the issue with Samsung is probably related to some security events they’ve had…[Read more]

Recently came across this contraption: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-90902/pbackx/automated-lego-sorting-machine/

CMake paths have been updated, Wasn’t painful, I just used ls -1Q <directory>/*.cc to list everything in quotes with the path prefix. 🙂

And more information on the color static files: we want to use the one in windows/ as that one is more complete. I’ve already removed the other two files from the CMake script so they’ll be in the next upload…[Read more]

Public Domain Day is coming up. Here’s some of the stuff entering the public domain in the US: https://copyrightlately.com/public-domain-2026/

Quite a few good items! We got Betty Boop, As I lay Dying, All Quiet on the Western Front, Animal Crackers, some Disney shorts, and more!

Yep, the Draft Horse was a good one

Here’s the entire filmography from the 40s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looney_Tunes_and_Merrie_Melodies_filmography_(1940%E2%80%931949)

Think I hit the 30s the other day.

Can’t get too many holiday specials over these days. Most of them are now coming on at odd times and others are being pickup by…[Read more]

The 3DS Max code may be related to this tool: https://github.com/uesp/mwnifto3ds

And the basic overhaul of the directory structure has been pushed up. Next step is to update the paths 🙂

Wasn’t sure where to put ui/mwedit.h as it both defines the main view and sets up the main function entry point so I left it in ui/ for now. It may be moved to mwedit/ at some point down the road.

Okay, old CreaturePage files have been removed from the repository and their properties have been removed from ui/Resource.h locally so they’ll be in the next push. I also confirmed that the new creature page views were being used in the project before I removed the old ones just to be thorough:
ui/EsmCreatureDlg.cpp:…[Read more]

Sounds good. I’ll go ahead and tag both of the older files for the dialogue and remove them from the build script. 🙂

That’s bound to fix a bug or two!

There are two sets of CreaturePage files in ui/: those with the Esm prefix and those without. The ones without don’t appear to have their classes used in the project but the files are included in the ones with the prefix. Both make heavy use of the MFC code generation stuff so it’s a little hard to tell if the ones without the prefix are actually…[Read more]

There’s also the proposed Transatlantic Tunnel that, sadly, will likely never the light of day. Not so much the cost (can be ignored as the various governments can make it happen if they really want to) but the materials and potential safety concerns of such a thing. Without proper compartmentalization, you’ll have a Titanic-like situation.…[Read more]

Okay, started on the ui/ directory this morning and reached the dialogue boxes that go with the game files so I need to remove the prefix from them as well

Yep, I’m slow these days but at least I’m getting back into it after almost a decade 🙂

What did you expect from a doughnut factory? Fried chicken? 😛

Okay, looks like the bitmap code isn’t used in the workflow so I’ll tag it for removal with PCX support. For bitmap icons, the code uses CBitmap in the Windows API instead, which will be replaced with whatever the new GUI toolkit uses.
