Your question is somewhat ambiguous, are we talking about the spider's rights or the cactus'?

To be fair, Windows does have Powershell, which is slightly better than the standard command prompt.

I've done a bit of scripting in Bash in one of my classes but I'm pretty much completely new to batch scripts. I would like to run the following command from a batch script:
code
java -cp "C:\path to external jar;C:\Path to Java project bin" main.MP3Edit [-p path_to_target_dir] [File1 ...]

by allowing the user (me) to input the path to target directory and the file names into the command prompt terminal (yes, I could read the input in the Java program itself but let's say I'm running someone else's program and can't change it).

I've written the following batch script using a few things I found on Google:
code
@echo off
set /p "arg=Input the path to target directory (defaults to current directory if left empty): "
if not [%arg%]==[] set "arg=-p %arg%"

echo Input file names one per line. If no file names are input, all files in the target directory will be used.
:loop
set /p "line=Input next file name (leave empty to end list of files): "
if [%line%]==[] goto run
set "arg=%arg% %line%"
set line=
goto loop

:run
REM java -cp "C:\path to external jar;C:\Path to Java project bin" main.MP3Edit %arg%
echo %arg%
pause


Now the problem with this is that the path and the file names can have spaces in them, which means each of them should in the command be surrounded by quotation marks. In bash iirc you can achieve that by using a combination of single quotes and double quotes in the script, but single quotes don't seem to do anything in batch. How do I get each argument separately properly surrounded by quotation marks?

Also incidentally, is there a way to make set /p recognize an empty string as an input? Because in the above example, if I remove the "set line=" command, the loop doesn't exit even on empty input because the set /p (first line of the loop) doesn't seem to do anything if it receives empty input.

Warning: More than 8 wadfiles are in use. (29)
This may be harmless, and if no strange side effects are occurring, then
it can safely be ignored. However, if your map starts exhibiting strange
or obscure errors, consider this as suspect.

Basically what it says, you need to reduce the number of wad files you are using. To find the list of wad files, follow this step: http://www.superjer.com/learn2.php
Cameron Lancaster, I'd wager.
So, say I want to make a program that solves a Free Cell game that I have open in another window. So basically, what I'd want to do is:
- open e.g. the Windows Free Cell, get a random deal
- have my program read the deal from the Free Cell application
- have my program find a solution using for example a state space search algorithm like A*
- have my program execute that solution in the Free Cell application

Now my question is, how do I accomplish steps 2 and 4? How would I communicate with a 3rd party application without doing some fancy screen capturing and text/shape recognition?

Another more advanced example would be e.g. programming a 3rd party bot for a game (without an official API from the game's producers), where you'd need to repeatedly read the state of the game, and execute actions accordingly.
(disclaimer: I do not intend to use any information gathered here to program illegal bots)

Oh my.
You can use doors in CS 1.6 to trigger events when a new round starts because doors always close at the start of a round (or something to that effect). Doors are what you use to trigger the round counter.

In Source SDK you have logic_auto for that - an entity specifically designed to trigger stuff at the beginning of a round.
So I recently tried to port a map of mine from CS 1.6 to Global Offensive, and I've found out the Source SDK stuff is a mess. The current problem I'm facing is that math_counter apparently does not save its state between rounds, which means you can't do stuff like doors that only open every 3rd round any more (which was a part of said map).

I tried setting up an env_global to do this, but first off there was no env_global in the csgo.fgd (even though the base class for it exists in base.fgd) so I had to copy it from the HL2 fgd file, and now I found out that while it has a Counter property, it isn't actually functional. The wiki page says "There is an aliasing problem for this keyvalue. To make it work, simply change its name in the source code DEFINE_OUTPUT declaration."

Is there actually a way to access the source code to change an entity's hard-coded keyvalues?
Or if not, is there maybe a way to work around this to make a counter of any sort that would keep its state between rounds (is it possible for example to implement your own code into a cs go map)?

1)

The Right Way™ is to use version control. Any time you are doing anything with code, you should be using version control. Eventually you'll be sorry if you didn't.

Depending on what system you use, you should be able to add your shared code as a submodule, or just a checkout within the larger project. The version control will help you keep them all in sync when you invariably make changes. And it works across any number of systems and prevents catastrophic loss.


What's version control?
phoenix_r said:
Why do you want this bulk import in #1? Are you constantly importing a large group of the same or similar classes? Wouldn't it be more efficient to only load what you need? I can't actually answer your question, just debate itttt.

I have a project of self-made classes with generally useful functions, like string manipulations, matrix calculations, power function, etc.
They're categorized into packages according to their field - mathematical classes are in package maths, string related classes are in package strings, etc.

Now say sometime in the future I want to write a program that calculates the roots of the characteristic polynomial of a matrix. I'd like to be able to import the package maths so I can use its classes' functions in said program.

I don't really get what you mean by "bulk import". It's an importing of a single package, isn't that pretty standard? Like importing for example the package java.awt?
Down Rodeo said:
The directory structure follows the packages, so when you have jPackage.MyClass, you folders would be jPackage/MyClass.java. (Watch for capitals - it might not like that).

OK but how do I import it into a class in a completely different project and a completely different folder on the drive? Can I still import it simply with
code
import jPackage.MyClass
and it'll find it?

Or do I need to do something special with the CLASSPATH environmental variable or something?
1) I'm currently making a package with a bunch of generally useful classes (like a calculator class, a line sorting class, etc.) neatly stored inside it - let's call it jackPackage.

Now what I want is that every time I write a Java class, no matter what project/package/folder it's in, I can just write import jackPackage (or java.jackPackage or something like that) and it will import this package (much like the standard packages such as java.lang or java.awt). Where do I have to put it and do I have to do something special to be able to do this?



2) Let's say I have a huge array of integers that I know will all be of values between 0 and 15. Is it possible to make the elements of this array 4-bit numbers so as to conserve space?
Is there perhaps a bit primitive type that would allow me to create my own class with an arbitrary number of bits to save a number (I know a byte primitive type exists, haven't seen mention of a bit one though)?



3) Is there an advantage to defining getter and setter methods for an attribute over simply making said attribute public, provided that you want the attribute both readable and settable?
Truck
I went through multiple bitwise operators, such as left shift (infinite loop) - you cannot do right shift without changing more than one character, bitwise or and xor (infinite loop and no output), and even tried the unary operator ~ (which, like DR's solution, prints 21 minuses).

But in the end, this:
code
} while ( i % n );
appears to print 20 minuses.
Oh right, that.

Down Rodeo said:
OK, I realise I wasn't completely clear there; you probably got this but what I'm saying is that these are methods you should implement yourself, I do not know that they necessarily exist right now. Apologies.

requestFocus() is an already existing method, according to Google results. I haven't really searched for an isOpened() method, but even if it doesn't exist, it shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Down Rodeo said:
Ok, that should be easy: have if(isOpened()) { calc.setFocus() } else { calc.open() } or something similar. isOpened() should return a boolean indicating whether the calculator has, in fact, been opened before. EDIT: it's requestFocus(), I think.

OK, once I get all these errors out of the way, I'll try it.
Well, the way it is now is, I open the main window and then click on one of the four buttons on it. That opens another window with a certain tool (e.g. calculator), depending on which of the four buttons was pressed. Now if I press that same button again, it'll open another window with that same tool. I don't want that.

What I want is that if I press that button again, it restores the window that was opened by that button (if it was minimized) and puts it on top as the currently active window.

In other words I want the same thing to happen when I press that button, as if I clicked with my mouse on that opened window.
Down Rodeo said:
I was drunk when I wrote this, I'm sorry. Well, in that case you can have setVisible(false) and that sort of thing. Does that make sense to you?

Not exactly sure what you mean :/
Down Rodeo said:
I am not sure what you mean by activated.

Activate as in restore, put on top, etc. Like if you had clicked on it.
1) Already mentioned in chat for no adequately thought-through reason:
Eclipse gives me this warning in one of my classes:
Quote:
The serializable class does not declare a static final serialversionuid field of type long


I googled it, and it has to do with serialization (surprisingly...). Now apparently, I can simply ignore this, but is serialization something useful/important enough that I should read up on it, or can I simply ignore this warning?



2) I'm making a simple program that starts as a window (JFrame) with 4 buttons (each of type MyButton). MyButton is a subclass of JButton with an ActionListener that opens a new window when the button is pressed, depending on what title was passed as the MyButton argument. E.g. if you click the button titled Calculator, it'll open a new window with a calculator (another JFrame window that I'll be creating later).

However, I want it to work so that if that window is already opened, it doesn't open another one, but simply activates the already opened window.

So a) how do I check if a window is already opened?
and b) how do I activate that window?
Also c) what exactly does it mean if something is "visible"? If I setVisible(false) a window, does it close or just become invisible?
And if I setVisible(false) a text field, does it deactivate (ie. you can't write anything into it anymore) or does it just become hidden?

3) Is there a way to remove content from a window? Ie. the opposite of add(element).
EDIT: found remove(element)

4) How do I deactivate an element (not delete or make invisible, just make it gray and inoperative)?
what is this I don't even
-nowadtextures does that
also -wadinclude wadname1 wadname2 etc. I think

Let's zombie-up this truck.

The README file says that to change height and width, that you should add -wNUM for width, and hNUM for height and to replace NUM with the size you want. I don't understand where to put it though.

The most similar I have found is in the Makefile under either FLAGS, LIBS or LIBSWIN, is it in there? If it is, do I have to download MinGW (make) and SDL-devel (MinGW) and then create the exe myself that way? I would really like to know.

If those are flags, you should probably use the command prompt with something like pixelmachine -w324 -h234
Down Rodeo said:
OK, so, my first question is what are these for? If they're for a homework question or such I am slightly confused as Wolfram Alpha says there are no solutions to the first one. I'm inclined to agree. Certainly there's no way to make it much nicer.

Second one: Wolfie. It's a bit complicated. 4th roots of 3? No thanks.

Yeah, the first one is a bit weird, since the roots of x and 1-x would imply that x is between 0 and 1 (otherwise the roots wouldn't be real numbers), which would mean those two square roots would also be between 0 and 1. I don't see how you could subtract two numbers like that to get something greater than 3/sqrt(5) (which is greater than 1).

This was kind of homework, it was a preparation for a test. Hopefully I don't get something like this in the actual test
2 (unrelated) inequalities I have to solve:

sqrt(1-x) - sqrt(x) > 3/sqrt(5)

and

sqrt(12-(12/x^2)) - sqrt(x^2-(12/x^2)) < x^2

I can't figure out what to do with the square roots. I tried multiplying the first with (sqrt(1-x) + sqrt(x)) but that just moves the square roots to the other side. How do I begin solving an inequality like this?
Make sure the spawn points aren't too close to the floor/a wall/eachother.

map name 'catpee' Happens to be the same name to other 2 accounts with 2 posts

catpee is what the map is called in superjer's tutorial, that's why people following said tutorial name their maps catpee.

@OP, from the compile log your map seems to be very simple (ie. does not contain a lot of brushes/entities), so if you're getting errors like allocblock:full, you probably did something weird with them. Here's some info on this error:

When you're writing post, you have a small button in the top right corner of the blue window that says Attn. Press that button, then write superjer in the left part of the text box that appears.
Try loading the map with at least one bot, the open the console and write bot_nav_analyze
It's basically the same thing as deleting the .nav file, but unless you have some weird entity setups around that place, it should fix the problem.

I usually find slimes by just wandering around at very low Y-levels. There's almost always one or two in sight from the bottom of the main mine shaft in New Castleton.

Well, the problem is that they can only spawn in certain chunks, so I ended up just downloading a mod that told me if I was in a chunk where they could spawn. I know it's cheating but in this world I'm really just playing to build some stuff so I don't really mind cheating a bit. I mean, I mostly play on Peaceful anyway, so it's not really a world where I'd be challenging myself a lot.

Anyway I now have my very own slime farm that took me a few hours to make. But it does bring the slimes to the surface, so I don't have to go down to the cave where they spawn every time, so I'm quite happy with it.

Well I was hoping that image would answer it for me, but it appears that it hasn't.

To make a short answer the same length, it's television, and those enhancers don't exist because it would be impossible.

Well, obviously they are very much exaggerated in those shows, just like everything else is, but such filters do exist in reality.

Rockbomb said:
I'm pretty sure it's a complicated process to even do as much as they can, but here's a couple things that I would imagine that those types of programs do:
1.) Look for lines/edges. If there is a row of pixels of all similar color, they would want to keep it like that when the photo gets enhanced.
2.) Look for blocks of color. If there is a spot on the image where the colors are all very close, keep it like that when the photo gets enhanced.
3.) When adding pixels, they prolly take the colors of two pixels, find a median for those two, and create a new pixel in between them with the color that was just calculated. That is of course unless that area has been determined as a line/edge, or a block of color, in which case the new pixel would be made to match said line/edge or block of color.

Yeah, I figured they'd break every pixel down into several dots, each of which would then have a color between the one of that pixel and the adjacent one.
But that wouldn't work properly because it would just make the image blurry in most vital parts (for example the text on licence plates). With those two checks for edges and blocks it might actually work.
It's safer to rotate and resize the brushes with the Transformation tool (ctrl + m).
Exactly.
So, you know how when you watch a show like CSI or NCIS they always have this photo enhancing software that allows them to improve the quality of an image when they've zoomed in to a certain part of the photo.
How do these enhancing filters work?

It seems to me there are multiple ways to interpret the sort-by-fields exercise. Usually, sorting by fields means sorting the lines using certain field(s) as keys, not sorting the fields themselves within the lines.

So the input would be for example
code
./LineSort.out 1 -df 3 -n
and the program would then sort the lines with the -df options by their first fields, and when two (or more) of them were the same, it would sort them by their numerically by their third fields?

Yes. And I strongly recommend limiting it to 2 fields (or so). Allowing unlimited sort fields would be extremely tricky and frustrating.

Still, the index category mentioned in the exercise lists lines with more than one page number with page numbers in numerical order like this:
code
expression, assignment 15, 19, 47, 191
but there aren't any two lines with the exact same phrase.
So another possible interpretation would be that I'm supposed to fold lines with the same phrase together? I.e. the above line being a result of sorting with
code
./LineSort.out 1 -df 2 -n
the following lines:
code
expression, assignment 15
expression, assignment 19
expression, assignment 47
expression, assignment 191

Kinda janky but perhaps try going back to DHCP and try to connect again. If that works you might be able to do the router-side configuration and then go back to the static IP. Also there may be something in your routybits saying DHCP clients only but I find that unlikely.

Even if I use DHCP settings I can't connect.

Probably? Honestly I don't really know what you mean. My subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the static IP I chose is 192.168.100.104, so I'm guessing yes, since the first 3 numbers are the same as the router's IP...

I set up a static IP (this time without getting blocked), but now for some reason I can't connect to the internal IP address of my router as I'm supposed to. I tried connecting to 192.168.100.1, but it didn't work in any of the 3 internet browsers I used (Chrome, Firefox, IE). Am I missing something?
Truck
So I called them and they said they made a mistake. They didn't say what kind of a mistake, but I didn't really feel like pursuing the subject. Just happy I'm unblocked.
Truck
OK, I have a problem. My internet connection isn't working and I have reason to believe my ISP is to blame. Now it might be that the ISP's servers crashed or something, but it's more likely that they blocked us for some reason (it wouldn't be the first time that's happened - last time they did it because a virus on my mom's computer was sending out spam mail or something like that).

Before I call them I'd like to know if me trying to connect with a static IP and using port-forwarding software from http://portforward.com/ could be the reason for such a block (I might have also used a false username/password combination for the router, as I wasn't completely sure about it, it gave no errors though).

This is a warning, and only a warning, that you are using a larger sized texture in your level than some older video cards can handle. It is not a compile error, but it may cause player clients to sieze up if they have an older video card, or are in Software Video Mode. You must decide if you are going to abandon those players, or use another texture.

Reinstall hammer, check for problems in your map (alt+p in hammer).

The problem is probably the name of the map then. Yes, that could be the problem.

hlvis is looking for the map catpee.prt and makes it into catpee.map (I onestly don't really remember) but if you don't have a map called catpee.prt it cannot make it into a catpee.map.

The .prt file is a portal file, it's created and used in the compilation process. It's the .map file you need up-front.
Yes.

THnX dude I owe U one xDD

Btw : why does my map just 1 file............ I mean when i go To the Map folder there are 2 Other files In each map "nav" and "txt"

The mapname.nav file is a bot navigation file. Make a new game and spawn some bots, and it'll be generated.
The mapname.txt file is the text that's displayed when the map is loaded, on the team selection screen.
It's also possible that your map is fullbright, which is most commonly a result of a leak or not running hlrad.

Also, you can try using texture lighting instead of the light entity:

Did you carve into the roof or make the neon light protrude at least one unit from the roof?

I just played DN3D for a few levels and it's better than DNF in soooo many ways:

- The guns feel more powerful. They are LOUD and shit dies when you shoot it.
- There are secrets everywhere.
- Aliens react to getting shot. They get stunned and animate differently and they scream. Yay!
- You can kick and shoot an alien AT THE SAME TIME.
- It's not boring as fuck. The pacing is fast and intense. You have health!
- The levels are non-linear. You can explore.
- You can blow up dead bodies.

Go and beat the 3D Realms times in all levels.

superjer said:
It seems to me there are multiple ways to interpret the sort-by-fields exercise. Usually, sorting by fields means sorting the lines using certain field(s) as keys, not sorting the fields themselves within the lines.

So the input would be for example
code
./LineSort.out 1 -df 3 -n
and the program would then sort the lines with the -df options by their first fields, and when two (or more) of them were the same, it would sort them by their numerically by their third fields?

Btw can you recursively call main?
Down Rodeo said:
Re: sorting, sort once then reverse if needed?

That's how I first did it, but you need two functions for that as well, and the lines have to go through both if -r flag is used.

Anyway, the next exercise reads:

Exercise 5-14. Add a field-handling capability, so sorting may be done on fields within lines, each field according to an independent set of options. (The index for this book was sorted with -df for the index category and -n for the page numbers.)

I'm guessing this means that
code
./LineSort.out -df 4 -n 2 -r
would sort the entire file with the option -df, then sort the words (ie. sets of characters separated by spaces) in the 4th field of each line numerically and the words in the 2nd field of each line in reverse lexicographical order.
How would I define a field though?

In the book's index a line looks like this:
code
array, storage order of 104, 210

The first field is 'array, storage of', the second field is '104, 210'. So I guess a field is defined as a set of characters that's separated from the rest by more than a single space. Or maybe that's a tab in between.
New exercise from K&R, a program that sorts input lines in lexicographical order. It also allows a couple of flags that affect the comparing and the sorting part of the program.
It's an exercise that supposedly shows the usefulness of function pointers.

C code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define MAXLINES 100
#define MAXLEN 1000

int main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
char *lineptr[MAXLINES];
int nlines;
int strcomp(), numcomp(), dictcomp(), foldcomp(), dfcomp(), swap(), linesort(), revsort();
int (*cmpfunc)() = strcomp, (*sortfunc)() = linesort;
char *flag;
int fold = 0, dict = 0;

while (--argc > 0 && (*++argv)[0] == '-')
for (flag = argv[0] + 1; *flag != '\0'; flag++)
switch (*flag){
case 'n':
cmpfunc = numcomp;
break;

case 'r':
sortfunc = revsort;
break;

case 'f':
fold = 1;
break;

case 'd':
dict = 1;
break;

default:
printf ("Illegal option: -%c.\n", *flag);
break;
}
if (dict || fold){
if (dict && fold) cmpfunc = dfcomp;
else if (dict) cmpfunc = dictcomp;
else cmpfunc = foldcomp;
}

if ((nlines = readlines (lineptr, MAXLINES)) >= 0){
(*sortfunc) (lineptr, nlines, cmpfunc, swap);
writelines (lineptr, nlines);
}

else if (nlines == -1) printf ("Input too big to sort: too many lines.\n");
else if (nlines == -2) printf ("Input too big to sort: not enough room in allocbuf.\n");
else printf ("Input too big to sort - line too long.\n");

return 0;
}


That's the main part of the program (the whole thing is quite a bit longer due to the number of functions required).



The flags are as follows:

-n : Program sorts lines in numerical order from the lowest number to the highest. This flag was added in the book already, the rest were incorporated by me as a part of the exercise.
-r : Program sorts lines in reverse. This flag has to work in conjunction with any of the other flags.
-f : Program folds upper and lower case together.
-d : Program sorts lines in dictionary order (makes comparisons only on letters, numbers and blanks). It has to work with the -f flag.



The functions are:


strcomp() compares two lines and returns 0 if they are the same, a positive int if the first one is lexicographically larger (ie. if it comes after the second one in the alphabet), and a negative int if the first one is lexicographically smaller.
This function's pointer is passed as an argument to sortfunc if no flags that would change the comparison process are in effect.

numcomp() compares two lines numerically and returns 0 if the two numbers are the same, 1 if the first number is larger, and -1 if the second number is larger.
This function's pointer is passed as an argument to sortfunc if -n flag is in effect.

dictcomp() compares two lines lexicographically, but based only on numbers, letters and blanks, and returns the same as strcomp().
This function's pointer is passed as an argument to sortfunc if -d flag is in effect.

foldcomp() compares two lines lexicographically, but it doesn't make distinctions between upper and lower case letters, so that a and A appear adjacent, returning the same as strcomp().
This function's pointer is passed as an argument to sortfunc if -f flag is in effect.

dfcomp() combines dictcomp() and foldcomp(), returning the same as strcomp().
This function's pointer is passed as an argument to sortfunc if -df (or -d -f) flags are in effect.



linesort() sorts lines by comparing two lines, using the comparison function, the pointer to which was passed to it as an argument, and sorting them with shellsort from lowest to highest.
This function is used as sortfunc if no flags that would change the sorting process are in effect.

revsort() sorts lines in the same way as linesort(), except that it sorts them from highest to lowest.
This function is used as sortfunc if -r flag is in effect.



readlines() records the lines into allocbuf, using alloc() (also a function from K&R) and returns the number of lines (or a negative int if there is an error).

writelines() outputs the lines, after they have been sorted with sortfunc.



Now the program as I made it, works as it should, but I think it's way too complicated. It has way too many functions, and the fact that I had to make a whole new function just to incorporate support for a combination of two already existing flags (-d and -f), bothers me a bit.

I'd rather just use a few external variables (dict, num, rev, fold), initialize them to 0, and set them to 1 if their respective flags were used. Then I'd just use one comparison function and one sorting function, and change the proper parts of them to behave appropriately if any of the above external variables were non-zero.
Or is there some reason why using so many functions and passing them via pointers is a good idea?

I see. I think. Doesn't C have smarter casting than that?

Guess not :/

So, why doesn't * work as an argument? The program works perfectly if I use 'x' as a sign for multiplication, but if I use '*', and write ./PolishCalc.out 3 5 * in the terminal, it outputs a lot of Illegal option errors, as if the * wasn't one of the possible arguments. Why doesn't it properly read a(n) *?
Down Rodeo said:
I have no idea what version of compiler you're using, but this gives correct results on my machine:

Yeah, I put 10 as a function argument instead of 10.0 (the base is of type double, I input an int).
I located (one of) the problem(s) in my Reverse Polish Calculator, it's my power function. For some reason it does some really weird stuff. Here's its code in a test program (with a few added printf tests):

C code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
double power();

printf ("%f\n", power (10, 1));
}

double power (b, exp) //integer exponents
int exp;
double b;
{
int i, sign = 1;
double p = 1;

printf ("%f, %d\n", b, exp);

if (exp < 0){
sign = -1;
exp = -exp;
}
printf ("%d, %d\n", sign, exp);

for (i = 0; i < exp; i++) p *= b;
printf ("%f\n", p);

return ((sign == 1) ? p : 1/p);
}

This returns the following:
Terminal code
0.000000, 134513883
1, 134513883
0.000000
0.000000

As you can see, the base is read as 0 and the exponent is read as 134513883.
Why doesn't it properly read the base and the exponent?

EDIT: nvm, problem resolved. The base is a double, I input it as an integer -_-



Now only the multiplication part causes problems. It prints out a lot of Illegal option messages with some random letters. Is the * character reserved for something?
If I use another character (x for example), it works properly.

Honestly, once you get up into that price range, I don't think the brand really matters. I just looked at the specs, and they're pretty nice, I think you would be happy with it.

Is it mandatory that you get a laptop though? Cuz for the same price, you could build a desktop that's ridiculous.

I just made my first program in C from my own idea and it works!
It's a program that I made to calculate the number of blocks I need to build a pyramid in minecraft. And here it is:


C code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main (argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
char *flag;
int hollow = 0, ground = 0, even = 0, level = 0, edge = 0;
int number;

while (--argc > 0 && (*++argv)[0] == '-')
for (flag = argv[0] + 1; *flag != '\0'; flag++)
switch (*flag){
case 'h':
hollow = 1;
break;
case 'g':
ground = 1;
break;
case 'e':
even = 1;
break;
case 'l':
level = 1;
break;
case 'b':
edge = 1;
break;
default:
printf ("Illegal flag: -%c.\n", *flag);
argc = 0;
break;
}

if (argc != 1) printf ("Usage: Pyramid -h -g -e -l/-b number_of_blocks\n");
else if ((number = strtoint (*argv)) <= 0) printf ("Illegal number argument:\t%d.\n", number);

else if (level){
int nextblocks = (even) ? 2 : 1, nextsquare = nextblocks * nextblocks;
int nblocks = 0;

while (number > 0){
nblocks += nextsquare;
number--;
nextblocks += 2;

if (hollow && (!ground || number - nextblocks * nextblocks > 0)) //if pyramid is hollow and it's not a ground floor
nextsquare = 4 * nextblocks - 4; //n² - (n-2)² = 4n - 4
else nextsquare = nextblocks * nextblocks;
}

printf ("Length of the ground level's edge:\t%d blocks.\n", nextblocks - 2);
printf ("Number of blocks needed:\t%d.\n", nblocks);
}

else if (edge){
int nextsquare = number * number;
int nlevels = 0, nblocks = 0;

while (number > 0){
nlevels++;
number -= 2;
nblocks += nextsquare;

if (hollow && (!ground || nlevels > 1))
nextsquare = 4 * number - 4;
else nextsquare = number * number;
}

printf ("Height of the pyramid:\t%d blocks.\n", nlevels);
printf ("Number of blocks used:\t%d.\n", nblocks);
}

else {
int i = number;
int nextblocks = (even) ? 2 : 1, nextsquare = nextblocks * nextblocks;
int nlevels = 0;

while (i >= nextsquare){
nlevels++;
i -= nextsquare;
nextblocks += 2;

if (hollow && (!ground || i - nextblocks * nextblocks > 0)) //if pyramid is hollow and it's not a ground floor
nextsquare = 4 * nextblocks - 4; //n² - (n-2)² = 4n - 4
else nextsquare = nextblocks * nextblocks;
}

if (hollow && ground && (number >= 4 || !even)) //if -hge, nblocks has to be larger than 4
nextsquare -= (nextblocks - 4) * (nextblocks - 4); //set the level above the ground level to hollow

printf ("Height of the pyramid:\t%d blocks.\nLength of the ground level's edge:\t%d blocks.\n", nlevels, nextblocks - 2);
printf ("Number of blocks used:\t%d.\nNumber of blocks remaining:\t%d.\n", number - i, i);
printf ("Number of blocks you need to get for next level:\t%d.\n", nextsquare - i);
}

return 0;
}

int strtoint (ps)
char *ps;
{
int n = 0, sign = 1;

while (*ps == ' ' || *ps == '\n' || *ps == '\t') ps++;
if (*ps == '-' || *ps == '+') sign = (*ps++ == '+') ? 1 : -1;

while (*ps >= '0' && *ps <= '9') n = 10 * n + *ps++ - '0';
return (sign * n);
}


The flags are as follows:
-h : Hollow pyramid.
-g : Has a full ground level (only effective along with -h).
-e : Even number of blocks in an edge (by default the edges are odd numbers) - top level is 4 blocks instead of 1.
-l : The input number determines the number of levels the pyramid is to have.
-b : The input number determines the number of blocks in the edge of the ground level.
Without a flag the input number determines the number of blocks that you have available (the program calculates how large a pyramid you can build and how many blocks you need to be able to build an additional level).

I have yet to test it extensively, but it appears to be working.

Anyway, just thought I'd share this with the rest of the class.

i5 is nice. i7 is *very* nice but as you spotted very expensive. I have an ATi 4500 series card and an Intel processor of some sort... 2 GHz something or other. I can run most games. However, it doesn't run them very well any more! So if you can get anything from the 5000 series of ATi then you ought to be OK. I don't really know what stuff nVidia have for mobility, I only know about their most recent desktop cards.

So yes, i5 would be absolutely fine :)

That graphics card isn't amazing. I'd maybe look at something better. (I just looked it up.)

Yeah, that one was pretty overpriced for its specs.

So basically, i5 is fine, i7 would be better, is what you're saying.
nVidia has the 460m, which is receiving a lot of praise on the interwebz. Also the 485m, but that one isn't available on a lot of laptops yet.

Someone found me this model, but it's in the US:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230027&cmre=asusi7--34-230-027--Product
That's ~800€, which in my opinion is a pretty good deal for that laptop.

Now I just have to find one closer to me, or I'll have to have it shipped from USA.
I see. So they use a random number generator with the initial number set to your seed number to determine the sequence of random numbers that somehow determines how the map looks.
And I'm guessing these special seeds (404, Chuck Norris, Glacier) were incorporated as separate cases.

By the way, what's that b % big_number, won't that equal b (provided the b is an int)?

So I'm buying a new laptop, mainly for my upcoming 3-7 years at the School of Informatics and School of Mathematics, but also for games'n'stuff.

So I need it to be able to handle 3D modelling software, 3D graph creators, etc., and also of course most of the recent games.

I have no idea what hardware to look for though, I'm especially clueless in the graphic card and processor areas. I was for example looking at this model:

(Yes, I know it's in Slovenian, but I'm sure you can understand most of the important hardware stuff).
How's Intel's Core i5? Core i7 seems to be a lot more expensive.
Also this one has an Ati card, and I've had quite a lot of problems in the past with their video cards. Also I got a comment on another forum that an nvidia card would be a necessity for my needs.

Any suggestions on what to buy?

By the way, I remember a similar seed thing in Age of Empires II in map creation. How exactly does something like this work? They probably didn't make tens of thousands of different maps and assigned each one a different number.

This project presents the many breaches of copyright law that we see or hear of nowadays, focusing mainly on the issue of internet piracy. Internet piracy is now often regarded as the biggest threat to copyright protection, due to the sheer number of people who have (or still are) engaged in piracy. Throughout this composition we will take a look at the main reasons why piracy is as widespread as it is, as well as the various problems it leads to. We will also look at the various actions taken by different companies and authors, in search of the ultimate strategy in the ongoing battle against internet piracy.

Why did it have to be a pirate?

Cause otherwise he can't talk with a piratey accent.
As a part of my final exam I have to make a project about piracy. Among other things it has to include a survey with answers from 100+ people.
I want to make an online survey, then link people to it, but for that I need a server to host it on and some php syntax knowledge. I have asked a friend to host it on his site, but I still need to somehow get it to work properly online with user input.

This friend of mine knows php, and I'd ask him to do this for me, but I'd like to know how much I'm asking of him here, since I don't have a clue about any web-related programming, or how hard some things would be to implement (he has his own project to work on, so I don't want to ask him to do something that would take hours of work).

Basically what I want is a poll with ~10-15 questions, each of which has 3-6 possible answers (I would of course send all those questions and answers to him in a text file) with a checkbox next to them. Some would allow only one choice, while others would allow multiple choices.

The user would check the fields next to the questions, then hit a submit button, and the site would save his answers. At the end, I should get the poll results and the total number of people who did the survey.

Does anyone know of an already written reliable php (or javascript or whatever) script that would let him make something like this?

Unless you're using a very old (10+ years) C standard, you can declare variables (almost) anywhere you want.

So then you can do this in a program:
C code
int n = 0;

while (expr) n++;

char line[n];


If so, is this ever a bad idea for some reason? Or is there some other reason there's no mention of it anywhere in this book (it being old for example)?
C code
int type (ps)
char *ps;
{
while (*ps == ' ' || *ps == '\t' || *ps == '\n') ps++;

if (*ps < '0' || *ps > '9') return (*ps);
return NUMBER;
}


For this program it can be simplified to
C code
int type (char *ps)
{
return (*ps >= '0' && *ps <= '9') ? NUMBER : *ps;
}


It basically just checks the first element of the string it's given to see if it's a number or something else.
Down Rodeo said:
Well, in the case of "./rpn 3 5 +" there are four arguments, the zeroth being the program name and then your two numbers then the plus. You can just refer to them as argv[j] then use atoi on them, or something. There's probably a way to reason about how many numbers compared to how many operators you have. Or something similar.

Oh, you can't refer to the i'th element of an array, or your post goes all italic.

Yeah, my Polish Calc program first increments argv so that it points to the first actual argument, not the name of the program. Then it checks to see if it's a number or an operator.

If it's a number, it pushes it to a stack (using strtofloat, which is my version of atof).
If it's an operator, it pops the two top values on the stack (the last two numbers that were pushed there) and pushes back the result of the proper operation between them.

When there are no more arguments (argc equals 0), it prints the top value from the stack (which is the result of the whole expression if it was input properly).

At least that's what it's supposed to do. In reality it takes ~10 seconds to execute, then either prints 0 as the result (meaning the stack is empty), or prints an error.

When I tried the arguments 5 8 *, it printed a lot of 'Illegal option' messages with various characters from A to P (see the default branch of the switch in the first program).
When I tried 42 6 /, it printed 'Zero divisor popped' (see the '/' branch of the switch in the first program).
When I tried addition and subtraction it simply printed 0 as a result.

I'm guessing it doesn't properly read the number arguments for some reason. Now I just have to find out why.

1) Linux terminal arguments:

That's the way to do it. I'm not sure what's wrong, but here's a simple program to test it: [...]

I tried to run the add program (in my case it's called Reverse Polish.out) with the line
"./Reverse Polish.out" 2 3 +
but it just drew up a new terminal line.

I'll run that test program when I get home.

superjer said:
Are you intending to ++ argv in the first case only?

Yes, because the program accepts the following inputs:
- detab 7 5 5 5
- detab 7 +5
- detab

So if an argument consists of only a number, it should go to the next argument. If not, it should stay at the same one.

superjer said:
You shouldn't really be ++ing argv at all, I don't think. It won't blow up or anything but once you've modified it you can't go back.

Well, I have the pointer *argvstart to save the initial position of argv. Won't that work?
A few new programs (I'll just paste them here so they're all in the first post):

Exercise 5-7. Write the program add which evaluates a reverse Polish expression from the command line. For example,
add 2 3 4 + *

int argc;
char *argv[];
{
double op, strtofloat(), pop(), push();

while (--argc > 0)
switch (type (*++argv)){ //determines whether the next argument is a number or something else

case NUMBER: //if it's a number, it pushes it onto the stack
push (strtofloat (*argv));
break;
//otherwise it does the appropriate operation, and pushes the result onto the stack
case '+':
push (pop() + pop());
break;

case '*':
push (pop() * pop());
break;

case '-':
if (type (*argv + 1) == NUMBER){ //unary minus
push (strtofloat (*argv));
break;
}
op = pop();
push (pop() - op);
break;

case '/':
op = pop();
if (op != 0.0) push (pop() / op);
else printf ("\nZero divisor popped.\n");
break;

case '%':
printf ("\nThe floating points will be truncated for the modulus operation.\n");
op = pop();
if (op != 0.0) push ((int)pop() % (int)op);
else printf ("\nZero divisor popped.\n");
break;

default:
printf ("Illegal option: %c.\n", type (*argv));
break;
}
printf ("\t%f\n", pop());
return 0;
}

#define MAXVAL 100 //max depth of val stack

int sp = 0; //stack pointer
double val[MAXVAL]; //value stack

double push (f) //push float onto the value stack
double f;
{
if (sp < MAXVAL) return (val[sp++] = f); //if there is room on the stack push float onto the stack

printf ("Error: stack is full.\n"); //if the stack is full clear stack and return 0
clear();
return 0;
}

double pop() //pops the top value from the stack
{
if (sp > 0) return (val[--sp]); //if there are values on the stack, pop the top one

Exercise 5-8. Modify the programs entab and detab [...] to accept a list of tab stops as arguments. Use the normal tab settings if there are no arguments.
http://users.powernet.co.uk/eton/kandr2/krx1.html
See exercises 20 and 21 for an explanation of what entab and detab do.

Exercise 5-9. Extend entab and detab to accept the shorthand
entab m +n
to mean tabs stops every n columns, starting at column m. Chooose convenient (for the user) default behavior.


detab:
C code
#define TABSTOP 5 //default length between two tab stops
#define MAXLINE 1000 //maximum line length

int main (argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
char *argvstart = argv;
char line[MAXLINE];
char *pline;
int col; //current column number
int nextstop; //column number of the next tab stop

while (lineget (line, MAXLINE) != 0){ //get next line
argv = argvstart; //set argv back to the first argument
nextstop = (strtoint (*++argv) > 0) ? strtoint (*argv++) : TABSTOP; //find the first tab stop
for (pline = line, col = 1; *pline != '\0'; pline++){
while (col >= nextstop) //if a tab stop has been reached, find the next one
nextstop += (strtoint (*argv) > 0) ? strtoint (*argv++) : (*argv[0] == '+') ? strtoint (*argv + 1) : TABSTOP;
if (*pline == '\t') //if the character is a '\t', print enough ' ' characters to reach the next tab stop
while (col < nextstop){
putchar (' ');
col++;
}
else { //otherwise print the character
putchar (*pline);
col++;
}
}
}
return 0;
}

int lineget (ps, lim)
char *ps;
int lim;
{
int c;
char *start = ps;

while ((c = getchar()) != EOF){
if (--lim < 1){ //line is too long, skip rest of the line
*--ps = '\n';
*++ps = '\0';
return -1;
}
*ps++ = c;
if (c == '\n') break;
}
*ps = '\0';
return (ps - start); //line length counting '\n', but not '\0'
}

int strtoint (ps)
char *ps;
{
int n = 0, sign = 1;

while (*ps == ' ' || *ps == '\n' || *ps == '\t') ps++;
if (*ps == '-'){
sign = -1;
ps++;
}

while (*ps >= '0' && *ps <= '9') n = 10 * n + *ps++ - '0';
return (sign * n);
}


entab
C code
#define TABSTOP 5
#define MAXLINE 1000

int main (argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
char *argvstart = argv;
char line[MAXLINE];
char *pline;
int col; //column number
int nextstop; //column number of the next tab stop
int nspaces; //total number of consecutive spaces
int ntabs; //number of consecutive spaces covered by tabs

while (lineget (line, MAXLINE) != 0){
argv = argvstart;
nextstop = (strtoint (*++argv) > 0) ? strtoint (*argv++) : TABSTOP;

for (pline = line, col = 1; *pline != '\0'; col++){
for (ntabs = nspaces = 0; *pline == ' '; nspaces++, pline++){ //count the total number of consecutive spaces
col++;
if (col >= nextstop){
putchar ('\t');
ntabs += (strtoint (*argv) > 0) ? strtoint (*argv) : (*argv[0] == '+') ? strtoint (*argv + 1) : TABSTOP; //count the number of spaces that are covered by '\t' characters
nextstop += (strtoint (*argv) > 0) ? strtoint (*argv++) : (*argv[0] == '+') ? strtoint (*argv + 1) : TABSTOP;
}
}

while ((--nspaces) % ntabs > 0) putchar (' '); //print the remaining blanks
putchar (*pline++); //print the non-blank character

while (col >= nextstop)
nextstop += (strtoint (*argv) > 0) ? strtoint (*argv++) : (*argv[0] == '+') ? strtoint (*argv + 1) : TABSTOP;
}
}
return 0;
}


1) In the linux terminal, how do I run a program with arguments? Running it as
code
./blah.out -flag1 argument
doesn't seem to work.

2) Could someone check the syntax of the lines that increment nextstop and ntabs for me? I'm pretty new to these pointers to arrays of pointers to strings. Also the conditional expressions or whatever they're called (the ?: expressions).
C code

nextstop += (strtoint (*argv) > 0) ? strtoint (*argv++) : (*argv[0] == '+') ? strtoint (*argv + 1) : TABSTOP;

This is supposed to do the following:
- if the argument is a number, it increments nextstop by that number
- if the argument is a number with a + as the first character (see Exercise 5-9), it also increments it by that number
- if there is no argument, it increments nextstop by the default length between tab stops (I used 5 as the default).

3) Did I understand the instructions correctly? For exampe, which would be the proper input if you wanted tab stops at columns 5, 12, and 16:
entab 5 7 4
or
entab 5 12 16
I went with the first one in my programs.

How exactly is it you're trying to get Minecraft running? I'm not having any difficulties.

However, you really have to have the proper drivers available (if you have an ATi or nVidia card in there, you can get open-source Intel drivers from... somewhere). Then running minecraft is as simple as running
code
java -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
I don't even think you'd need to increase the memory available to it.

I had some problems because I have both sun java and some other (GIJ, I believe) installed. So I used something like
code
/home/blah/jre1.0.6_24/bin/java -jar /home/blah/.minecraft/minecraft.jar

It asked me to choose a name, then did nothing else. It didn't freeze my computer, it just left my terminal running some god-knows-what process, I left it for about half an hour, then CTRL+C'd it.

superjer said:
You know there's a 2nd edition of K&R, right?

I saw on wikipedia, yes. But I only have this one and can't be assed to search for an online version.

New problem, I have the function itoa (n, s), which turns an integer into its decimal string representation (so the number 123 becomes a char array with the elements '1', '2', '3', '\0').

C code
itoa (n, ps)
char *ps;
int n;
{
int i = 0, tf = 0, sign;
char *start = ps;

if (n == -n && n != 0) n++, tf++; //!
if ((sign = n) < 0) n = -n;

do {
*ps++ = n % 10 + '0';
} while ((n /= 10) > 0);

if (sign < 0) *ps++ = '-';
if (tf) *start = *start + 1; //!
*ps = '\0';

reverse (start);
}


Notice the lines marked with exclamation marks, those are the ones I added myself (the rest was copied from the book). The Exercise reads:

Quote:
Exercise 3-3. In a 2's complement number representation, our version of itoa does not handle the largest negative number, that is, the value of n equal to -(2^(wordsize-1)). Explain why not. Modify it to print that value correctly, regardless of the machine it runs on.


The problem here is the process by which the computer calculates the negative number: by calculating its binary complement and incrementing it by one. In the case of -(2^(wordsize-1)), this becomes C(10000...)+1, which is 01111...+1, which in turn is again 10000..., so you get the same number.

My solution works in this case but it's rather clumsy. If the number in question ended in a 9, I would have to make *start = '0' and *(start+1)++, and so on until the end of the string. Now obviously, in this particular case this isn't a problem, since 2^n, where n is an integer, can never end with a 9.

Still, is there a better, more general solution to this problem? For example, what happens if I have to implement this into a different function where the above is possible?

Btw, can *start = *start + 1 be written instead as (*start)++ ?
superjer said:
You don't need to worry about changing ps because it won't affect where it is pointing in the outer calls to the function.

Go ahead and mess with it all you want.

Oh OK, that's good then.

superjer said:
Do you have to use recursion for this? This is a really bad use of recursion. It adds a lot of confusion and complexity for nothing.

Well, there was an Exercise that required that I make a version of reverse (s) using recursion (this was before I even got to pointers). I didn't really know how else I would go about doing that.
Now I just took that same routine and replaced the strings and string indexes with pointers.
I guess I could just go ahead and write a new function from scratch.

EDIT: Done, here it is:
C code
reverse (ps)
char *ps;
{
char temp;
char *end = ps + strlen (ps) - 1;

while (ps < end){
temp = *ps;
*ps++ = *end;
*end-- = temp;
}
}


superjer said:
And is there a reason you are using the ancient 1978 style argument lists?

Not quite sure what you mean by that (unless you mean that I declare the variables separately, not in the argument list), but anyway, I'm learning C with K&R's book, which is about that age.


P.S. I'm quite bad at programming terminology, so you have to excuse me if I use some terms improperly. What's the difference between a routine, a subroutine, a procedure, a method, and a function?
I have an array indexing version of the function reverse (s) that reverses the characters in the string s (skipping the \0 at the end) and puts a new \0 at the end of resulting string s.
Now I have to change it into a pointer version. This is what I get:
C code
reverse (ps)
char *ps;
{
static char *ps1 = ps, *ps2 = ps; //this is line 57
int c;

if ((c = *ps1++) != '\0') reverse (*ps);
if (c != '\0') *ps2++ = c;
*ps2 = '\0';
}

Now, obviously this isn't right, and it returns the error:
AtoI, ItoA.c:57: error: initializer element is not constant
AtoI, ItoA.c:57: error: initializer element is not constant

The problem is that in the array version I used a static int i1 and i2, and used them as indexes of the string s.
Now I have to somehow initialize the two internal pointers to ps, so that I can reverse the string without changing where ps is pointing to, but I have to only do it once, not every time the function is called, otherwise the recursion won't work properly.

Is there a workaround for this, or do I have to make a completely different function?
Truck
superjer said:
c code

#define assert(expr) { if(!(expr)) SJC_Write( "%s(%d) Assert failed! %s", __FILE__, __LINE__, #expr ); }


It evaluates an expression, and if it is false, it will print the expression and the filename and line number. You can't do that with a function.

Can you give me a simple example of how this is used in the actual program? What kind of an expression are we talking about here?
Also what's that #expr?


superjer said:
You can actually define a new variable in a macro. Just make sure it goes out of scope at the end of the macro.

Oh, OK. That does make macros a bit more useful then. I thought defining a macro simply replaced all the occurrences of the macro's name in the file with whatever the macro was defined as (kind of like #define BLAH 2000 replaces all BLAHs in the file with 2000, except that with a macro the arguments inside the macro would be changed properly), and afaik you can't define variables in loops or statements.


Also, can you define a macro as #define macro (x, y) blah blah or will the space between the macro's name and the arguments (or whatever they're called in a macro) cause problems?

Truck
So, what exactly is the point of macros inside programs? Why wouldn't you just write a separate function? It seems to be the same, except that macros can't be made (or are harder to make) for more complicated things.

To avoid confusion, this is what I'm talking about:

C code
#define max(A, B) ((A) > (B)) ? (A) : (B)


as opposed to

C code
max (a, b)
int a, b;
{
return ((a > b) ? a : b);
}




EDIT: Also, how would you write a macro swap(x, y) that swaps the values of x and y, since you can't define any new variables in the macro? (You need a temporary variable to hold the value of one of those two variables.)



EDIT 2: Task: Write a macro strcopy(x, y) that copies the content of string y into x.
My solution looks like this:

C code
#define strcopy(x, y) while (x++ = y++);

This however requires that x and y are defined as pointers, not
strings. So my program looks like this:

C code
int main()
{
char s[MAXSTRING], t[MAXSTRING];
char *ps = s, *pt = t;

while ((*pt++ = getchar()) != '\n');
*pt = '\0';

strcopy (*ps, *pt);
printf ("%s\n", s);
return 0;
}

Is there a way to write this macro so it can look like this:

C code
int main()
{
char s[MAXSTRING], t[MAXSTRING];
char *pt = t;

while ((*pt++ = getchar()) != '\n');
*pt = '\0';

strcopy (s, t);
printf ("%s\n", s);
return 0;
}

@OP, decompilers will usually produce results that will take hours of work before they compile and run properly. You might be able to find already fixed .rmf files of common maps (such as de_dust, de_aztec, cs_office, de_nuke...) online, I suggest looking for them instead of trying to fix the mess that you get from decompiling a map.
Spaces are not allowed in texture names, find the texture with a space in it and rename it.

The entity contains keyvalues that are not used in its class. You can fix this error with the Fix button.

This means that an entity has an unneeded property (e.g. a func_door having a brightness property defined). Do an alt+p check for problems in Hammer, it should find the entity in question.
Just make func_buyzones somewhere unreachable.

The point entity info_bomb_target makes the area around it (forgot the radius) a bomb target, but you can't control the size of the area.

A func_train follows a predetermined path with a predetermined speed. It only allows a player to stop and start it, and even that only indirectly (via a button for example). This is what you use if you want to create an elevator or an advanced door.

A func_tracktrain follows a certain path (railway) and only allows control over the speed and in a limited way the direction (forward, backward). In other words this is what you'll use to build a train (or a mining cart or whatever).

As for the sky changing from day to night and back between rounds, that's a little more advanced. You'd have to use a method similar to this.
You have to use the light_spot entity and target an info_null entity with it.
The light will then shine from the light_spot in the direction of the info_null.

A little side note, I finally managed to find an old installation (or whatever the proper noun for this is) of TR 1 from an old computer of mine, and I copied it to a CD, then tried running it on my laptop. It didn't run in Compatibility mode, but I managed to get it to work in DOSBox. The only problem is that it runs at like 3-5 fps.

So, can anyone who knows something about DOSBox tell me if this is a problem that would be solved if I ran it on a better computer (the specs on this one are: Intel Pentium 1.4GHz processor, 768MB RAM, Mobility RADEON 9200 with 32MB VRAM, Windows XP SP2), or if there is any other way to solve it?
There are some entities that might freak out some bots, like func_vehicle or something. Did you put any weird entities in your map?
Outcast said:
I checked for problems before compiling it says "Solid Entity (func_button) is empty."

My English are not perfect so some help would be appreciated

I don't think it's your English that's the problem in this thread.

Anyway, the "solid entity is empty" error means that a brush was tied to an entity and then deleted. This for some reason doesn't (always) delete the entity itself as well, which means the brush entity has no brush.

To fix this, go to Map->Entity report and check for each func_button what it selects when you press go to. When it selects no brush, delete that entity and the error should be fixed.

After day three the urge for food is negligable. I've never done a water-only fast, but I've done mastercleanse and juice fasting before where you still get some nutrients but not many. Mastercleanse is pretty legit, you subsist off of a sort of lemonade - fresh-squeezed lemon juice, cayenne pepper (the hotter the better - good stuff will list the BTUs), and grade b maple syrup (grade b is less filtered than grade a, more of the 'good stuff'). It's important to remain (or become) somewhat active during your period of fasting to maintain metabolism. While you won't have the energy to run a marathon, a decent daily stroll or leisurely bike ride (1/2hr a day minimum, or less time of a more physically intense activity) is highly encouraged. GLHF!

To me this was one of the best games I have every played, it's in the top part of my top single player games list, along with the two CoD MWs, Dragon Age Origins, GTA VC and SA, and also NFS Porsche Unleashed. Yeah, yeah, I have a weird top games list, I don't care about your opinion on that.

Anyway my point is that my opinion on TRA is biased, due to the fact that it's a remake of TR1, which is one of the first games I ever played, and is to this day one of my absolute favourites (unfortunately I can't play it because for some reason it works at like 3 seconds per frame if I run it in DOSBox or in compatibility mode - I haven't tried on my better computer yet, though). So I'm wondering how an unbiased observer without nostalgia sees TRA. I'm guessing as a Tomb Raider rip-off of Prince of Persia?

It kind of does, doesn't it? I don't know any more. What game does? Uh, most games do in some way nowadays.

Half-life has func_train and func_tracktrain, both of which could be considered vehicles (for example the func_tracktrain is what is used in the level 'On the Rail').
It doesn't have func_vehicle however (func_vehicle can also be steered left and right and doesn't follow a path).
This is taken directly from the book by which I'm learning C. It's a part of a Reverse Polish Notation Calculator.

The getop() gets the next operand - it transforms a string representing a number into a number and returns it, or (if the operand is not numerical, such as +, -, a, b, etc.) returns the operand.

getch() and ungetch(c) are two functions that are used because getop() can't know it's read enough until it's read one (or possibly more) character too many. That's why the last read character (or more if it's possible) has to be pushed back to the input, so it can be read again.

Something like that.
C code
#define NUMBER '0'
#define TOOBIG '9'

getop (s, lim)
char s[];
int lim;
{
int i, c;

while ((c = getch()) == ' ' || c == '\t' || c == '\n');
if (c != '.' && (c < '0' || c > '9')) return (c);

s[0] = c;

for (i = 1; (c = getchar()) >= '0' && c <= '9'; i++)
if (i < lim) s = c;

if (c == '.'){ //collect fraction
if (i < lim) s = c;
for (i++; (c = getchar()) >= '0' && c <= '9'; i++)
if (i < lim) s = c;
}

if (i < lim){ //number is ok
ungetch (c);
s = '\0';
return NUMBER;
}
else { //it's too big, skip the rest of the line
while (c != '\n' && c != EOF) c = getchar();
s[lim-1] = '\0';
return TOOBIG;
}
}


C code
#define BUFSIZE 100

char buf[BUFSIZE]; //buffer for ungetch
int bufp = 0; //pointer to the next free position in buf[]

int getch()
{
return ((bufp > 0) ? buf[--bufp] : getchar());
}

ungetch (c)
int c;
{
if (bufp > BUFSIZE) printf ("ungetch error: too many characters\n");
else buf[bufp++] = c;
}


Exercise 4-6: This getch and ungetch do not handle a pushed-back EOF in a portable way. Why?
Decide what their properties ought to be if an EOF is pushed back, then implement your design.

My problem is the first part of this exercise. Why is a pushed-back EOF not handled properly?
OK, if EOF is a negative constant, you probably have to change the char array to an int array, but other than that.

P.S. Those s = c; are supposed to be s[ i ] = c; (without the spaces)
For some reason they don't appear as such :/

Well, to be fair, the essay is rather interesting and well written. But, why on earth did the author even think it was necessary?

I mean, when you say that a song like this has terrible lyrics that make no sense, I'll say "Why, thank you, Cpt. Obvious. Here, have this rock," and then you'll be all offended and I'll be happy because I'll have managed to offend yet another person on the internet.
But when you take around 1000-2000 words just to say that... That's like writing a trilogy about how it's a bad idea to run with scissors.

As for the song itself, the first time I heard it, I loved it.
Yes, that's right, I loved it. While I often think when listening to certain songs (including some that go on to become amazing hits *cough* *cough* Justin Bieber *cough*) Oh God, who made this song and why did he/she think it was a good idea to do so? But Tik Tok wasn't one of them, I liked how it sounded, and I knew that a lot of people would as well.
But even hearing it for the first time, it was obvious to me it wasn't a song I'd want to hear more than once, at least not without first consuming a half dozen pints of beer.

But anyway, my loving the song had nothing to do with the fact that I knew there would be people around the world who would hate the song (including me). And I don't think the "fans" felt any different. The so-called fans loved the song simply because it sounded good to them, I don't see why there would have to be some higher phylosophy involved.

And I can't believe one of the longest posts I've written in the last few months on this forum was about an essay on Tik Tok.

hey dude i got an idea for handball
You could use the soccerjam mod, but make the floor underneath a clip brush, so when the ball falls down, it goes into the enemies team goal, so you get a point, and when it's time to kick-off, the ball starts somewhere infront of one of the teams...

That's not fucking handball :/
I train handball, and I can assure you, what you're talking about isn't it.

Well then, the guy who made them should make sure of those things. Unless of course it works as intended for other players.
Make sure the brushes you have these blue textures on are entities with Render mode 'Solid' and FX Amount 255.
Also make sure the texture name begins with {

Its source....

Is that ok? Cuz I'm making a Counter-Strike 1.6 map.

Well, it's actually pretty similar, only that you'd need to use more entities in 1.6 (the buttons don't have the 'Locked' property in 1.6 so it has to be simulated with the multisource or similar).
This is fairly similar to what I suggested (or was going to).

But what he does there would, as I understand it, let you guess for each digit until you got it, rather than reset the entire keypad after each X attempts (where X equals the number of digits in the pin code).

Nice find btw, fedex.

What fedex said would actually work (probably) but the number keys on the keypad should be big enough for the player to be able to press the number he'd want to press and not its neighbour.

The entity setup would be a bit complex probably, but I'm sure it can be done. One way would be to make each of the correct number buttons target a multisource, that would in turn target the multisource of the next number in the pin code.
Then the number keys would also target a trigger_counter, that would, after 4 numbers, deactivate all the number keys again (so that you could try again.

I'll elaborate if you want me too but there's probably an easier way to do this.

Hobbies: Aromatherapy, origami, storm watching.

Bio:
Spunky, intelligent and cheerful, Cammi Falls is a Cinderella story of one college girl who dared to dream big. The 19-year-old student began practicing martial arts as a means of self-improvement both mentally and physically, and was for a short time under employment by Mr. Ribbon at his secret volcano layer and volleyball resort.

With a strong motivation for self-improvement, Cammi hopes that by honing her own skills, she can eventually help others to do the same. Of course Mr. Ribbon was more than happy to aid in her training, and would often attack Cammi when she least expected it to keep her combat skills and vigilance sharp.

While she has never said whither or not she believes Mr. Ribbon to be an overbearing, well-dressed, white collar psychopath, or whether she merely humors him, one can assume that there is a love-hate relationship between the two, sometimes bordering more on the hate side for Cammi.

Due to the nature of Pole Socking, and Mr. Ribbon himself, Cammi was critically hospitalized near the end of the 5th Olympium where she would remain for months.
However, despite this sidelining, Cammi stands alone as being the only person to best Ribbon in syringe combat, despite being in a coma.

After recovering from her grievous injuries, Cammi went on to successfully commanded over 30 training missions for the Red Team, and won 4 field promotions and 3 commendations.

Today, she returns for the 6th Annual Pole Socking / Storm Chasing Olympium to play a more active part, and discover for herself what the Will to Power really means�

Save your map to a floppy diskette (or whatever those round things are you kids use these days), and put it into an envelope. Go to your local post office and put a stamp on it, and make sure they stamp it with the date. Mail the envelope to yourself.
Now, if anyone steals your map, you can take them to court and bring the envelope with you. Present the envelope as evidence, and it will prove that you were the original owner/creator of said map, and you will win the case.

Hmm.. but how do you prove that you really mailed whatever it was you want copyrights for, not just some of your pubicare?

Idk what pubicare means (sounds like pubic hair to me), but anyway the post-office stamps all the mail with the date on it. And then it also becomes federal property while they are in possession of it, so its pretty good proof that you actually mailed it to yourself on that date.

I know but how do you prove that what you mailed was really what you claim it was? I doubt that the post-office writes the contents on the envelope, at least they don't here in Soviet Russia.

Ok, I'm working on this program that uses the rand function and the system clock to generate a random number, and one part of it is this line...
c++ code
int numberPicked = rand() % 100 + 1;


I don't really get what its doing. I know % is the modulus operator, but I just don't really understand this line.
The way I see it, it takes the value generated by rand (which hasn't been declared yet in the program, so that doesn't make much sense to me), then takes the remainder of that divided by 100, and adds one to that number. But that would make no sense at all, so I guess I'm reading it wrong...

Your statement (or whatever this is called) will choose a random number from 1 to 100.

The rand() will give a completely random number.
This number when divided by 100 will give you a modulus, which will be something between 0 and 99 (depending on what the last two digits of the random number were).
This modulo is used simply to find the last two digits of the number picked by rand().

Since you want a value from 1 to 100, not from 0 to 99, you add 1 at the end.

Note that this is only me guessing here, you should wait for someone who knows C++ to confirm this.
In pascal iirc the rand() would give you a random value between inclusive 0 and exclusive 1 so something like this would've been different.
sprinkles said:
From what I could see you have:
Plane with no normal
Coplanar plane
brush outside world

The easiest is brush outside world.
You either have a brush over the edge or too close to the edge.

Coplanar plane means you have a plane with more than one face.

Plane with no normal means that it really isn't a plane, its either a line or a point.


For the brush outside world you can simply move the brush in.

The plane with no normal you need to delete and start over.

The coplanar plane you can fix by deleting the extra plane.

P.S.
Coplanar plane and plane with no normal are almost always caused by vertex manipulation.

All true but the brush outside world error can also be caused by VM.

Patch notes for 1.13c patch said:
A new Mystery has been revealed!

- Adventurers of Sanctuary are hereby warned once again, that a new challenge awaits you. Within Diablo's Bosses, spanning across the world from the ancient Monastery Catacombs to the Throne of Destruction, is where you'll find what you seek...


Major Bugs

- Fixed an item dupe bug.
- Video improvements for Intel Mac machines with OS 10.5 or greater.
- Fixed an issue where some players could kill other players while in town ("TPPK").
- Fixed an issue where some players could disconnect other players when they had too many active states.
- Fixed two issues where players could stack auras in an unintended way.


Minor Bugs

- Uber Mephisto now checks for both Uber Baal and Uber Diablo to be killed before spawning summoned minions (Before he would only check for Uber Baal).
- The game will no longer stop and then restart the game music after the window loses and then regains focus.
- Fixed an issue where the game window would minimize when running in windowed mode when it lost focus.
- Fixed an issue where the game window wouldn't center properly when it was created.
- Fangskin should now properly drop loot in Hell difficulty.
- Fixed an issue where auras were not re-applied to your mercenary after it was resurrected.
- Fixed an issue where if you had two items which provided auras to a mercenary and you unequipped one, the aura from the remaining
item never became active.
- Fixed an issue where the Paladin class runeword 'Principle' wasn't having all of its stats applied properly.
- Fixed an issue where the Paladin's Charge ability would become locked out if Holy Shield faded while charging.
- Fixed an issue where the Barbarian's Leap ability could become locked out if they were hit when they started to leap.


Specific changes/improvements

- Respecialization is now possible! Completing the 'Den of Evil' quest will now additionally reward 1 free respec which can be saved. Players who have already completed this quest should receive 1 free respec in Hell difficulty.
- Increased the drop rate of high runes.
- Support for blit scaling in windowed mode. The game can now be
maximized to the largest 4:3 resolution supported (hooray widescreen users).
- Some rare drop items now have an orange color. i.e. Runes and items required for Uber Tristam.
- Modified the gold bank limit to be a flat cap not bound by level.
- Removed the requirements to create a hardcore character.
- Greatly reduced the explosion damage dealt by Fire Enchanted monsters.
- Uber Mephisto and Uber Baal's summoned minions no longer give experience.
- Removed Oblivion Knight's Iron Maiden curse.
- Hellfire Torch Firestorm proc rate has been reduced to 5%.
- Users can now toggle the display of text over the Health and Mana globes by clicking on the bottom area of each orb.
- When creating a single player game, each difficulty button is now bound to a unique key: Normal 'R', Nightmare 'N', and Hell 'H'.
- The 'Enter Chat' Button in the battle.net waiting room is now
bound to the 'Enter' key.
- Added the windows system buttons to the game window (MIN, MAX, CLOSE).
- Added new command line parameter '-nofixaspect' which allows users to not fix the aspect ratio to 4:3 when maximizing in windowed mode. This lets the game 'stretch' to fill your monitor.
- Added support for '-sndbkg' command line switch. This enables sound in background.
- Added the following aliases for pre-existing command line options, '-nosound', '-window', and '-windowed'.


Revised Skill balance for Player Character classes

The compile tools have to be on the same drive as your cstrike folder (and wads).

What exactly is your map called?
You screwed up some vertex manipulation. Find the brushes with the go to brush tool and delete them, then rebuild them.
Well, 1 unit is about 1 inch, the player is 73 units tall and 33 inches wide.
Just don't rely on this unit->inch transformation too much or you'll end up making stuff in weird dimensions. Also you can put an info_player_start somewhere and its size should give you a very rough estimate of the players size.

For a bit more about dimensions try reading this:

Lightmap for Texture aaatrigger too large [11x32=352 luxels]; cannot exceed 324.
Most probably your .rmf, your .map or .bsp has been corrupted in some way. AAAtrigger textures are treated special, and should have a special lightstyle of 255, which means "no light data" = RAD is supposed to ignore them. If AAAtrigger is going through RAD, something is wrong, most probably corruption. (BTW: a luxel is short for "luminosity pixel" -- it's a fancier name for a light sample.)

1. Is it possible to copy a brush from one map to another?
Eg. I want to copy a vehicle from a.map to b.rmf.

2. Is it possible to convert .map to .rmf?

3. Is it possible to create a whirlwind?
Maybe using func_push?

4. How do you make the flashbang effect?
Some maps have flashbangs popping out of nowhere at a certain point and blinding you, like one of the NBnoobgames.

1) Yes, you can make it a prefab. Select the whole thing, then go to Tools->Create Prefab.

2) You can load the .map into hammer and then save it as .rmf.

3) Depends on what kind of whirlwind you want. You could make a simple one that raises you and spins you in a "circle" using func_push, yes.

4) My guess is it is done with sprites. Not sure about this one though.

You can use textract if the wads are embedded in the bsp file:
superjer said:
You need:
1) BSP file, randommapnamhere.bsp
2) Textract program --> http://www.superjer.com/files/textract.zip
3) Put them in the same folder
4) Open a command window there
5) Type: textract randommapnamhere.bsp randommapnamhere.wad
6) Then use your fresh new .wad

Hope this helps.


If the wads are not embedded, then they should be in your cstrike folder, I think.

I meant: when one person triggers the entity does it remove the weapons for just that player or does it do that for everyone?

Just for the player that triggered the entity.
Apparently the model doesn't have a hit-box (or whatever that's called). Just make a regular brush in the same space and texture it with CLIP, or (if you don't want bullets to go through) make a brush, texture it with {invisible, tie it to func_wall and set the Render mode to Solid and FX Amount to 255.

Volume of Pyramid = ((32in * 32in) * Height) / 3
You can get the height using Pythagoras' theorem:
Height^2 = (34in)^2 - (16in)^2

Volume of Cone = ((pi * (13in)^2) * 8in) / 3

Surface of Pyramid = Base(see above) + 4 * (32in * 34in) / 2 = Base + 2 * 32in * 34in

Surface of Cone = Base(see above) + (pi * 13in * s)
You can get s again using Pythagoras' theorem:
s^2 = (8in)^2 + (13in)^2



Hopefully all of the above is correct.

Try setting the Lip property to something like -256 (or a random negative number).

Or use func_train/func_platform.
I tried something similar to this with a 3-storey elevator with doors and ended up with approximately 100 entities. Though I did put the buttons inside the elevator as well, which complicated matters a lot.

Which entity's target are you changing with trigger_changetarget? Because I remember that I tried changing the target of the path_corner to the next stop and it didn't work, what I had to do was change the target of the func_train (the elevator) instead.

A multi_manager triggers one or more entities when triggered. To specify the targeted entities, disable SmartEdit and press add. The target name is then specified under Key and the delay before it's triggered under Value.
A trigger_multiple triggers its target (one target only) when a player touches it (or walks/jumps/whatever through it).

Try:

<td style="text-align:center;">

Although what you did should work too.

It didn't work because I foolishly copied two lines from your code:

code
a:link,a:visited {float:left;opacity:0.2;filter:alpha(opacity=20);} a:active,a:hover {float:left;opacity:1.0;filter:alpha(opacity=100);}


You can't align something that's already floating left.

But now I deleted the floats and the images get centered properly. However I get another problem:



In this picture I put my mouse over the curved pipe. As you can see the opacity on hover isn't working properly.
(the hint brushes are supposed to be next to each other but my resolution isn't big enough for that.
If I make the pictures smaller - ctrl+mwhl down - they are next to each other and both of them have
the same opacity problem)

EDIT: nvm, got it to work with someone's help. I just had to apply the opacity to every image separately.
The problem was something with inline elements (<a> being an inline element).
Truck
Well, I found a few pages saying that <td align="center"> should work, I tried it and it doesn't. I couldn't find anything on w3schools.com though.

It should be unlocked from the beginning if you don't set a master. If you mean in the previous example, you'll have to use this technique to set the button to On at the start of each round.

Q: How do I make my own textures?

You'll need to download and install program called Wally.

1. Make a .bmp of what you want you texture to be.
(The texture size needs to be multiplications of 16. Examples: 16x16 pixels, 32x16 pixels, 96x96 pixels, 80x64 pixels... and so on...)

2. Open Wally and go to File->New.

3. A window titled 'Create New Texture' will open. You can set only one thing in that window- 'Type'. Set the 'Type' to Half-Life Package [wad3] (.wad)

4. Drag and drop the .bmp you made on to your New Texture in wally. You can add as many textures as you want to your .wad file.

5. Save your file in you Counter-Strike directory.

6. Load the texture in Hammer. (Tools-> Options-> Textures-> ADD WAD.)

From the FAQ.
You have to make both of them:
- one brush with a texture that starts with a ! (like !blackwater or !water) and is either a normal brush or a func_water.
- one brush with AAATRIGGER texture that you then tie to trigger_hurt (by selecting it and pressing ctrl+t, then selecting trigger_hurt from the list).

Thanx alot for your help so far.

7. Yes, just make a trigger_multiple there and make it target the door.

5. So, if you just make a normal brush, it doesn't float?
1. Make a trigger_multiple where you want that area to be and cover the rest of the map with trigger_hurt with a lot of damage. Then make the trigger_mutliple target the trigger_hurt.

It's in the zhlt.wad that comes with the zhlt tools.
You don't need the trigger_multiples. Try the following:

- table func_door_rotating named 'table'. Make it target 'master'.
- door func_door_rotating named 'door'. Make its master 'master'.
- func_button named 'master'. In the flags check Toggle. Put it somewhere players can't reach it and texture it with AAATRIGGER to make it invisible ingame.

The problem with this setup is that a button doesn't have a Start On flag. This means that (unless you're willing to do some more entity work for this) you'll have to make the door blocked at the beginning of the round.
Have you tried re-texturing them? You might have accidentally used a black texture on some of the sides. Or are they white in the editor?

slackiller said:
This is typically caused by having extremely large scales on faces, (typically "stretching" far above 10, usually 100+). Otherwise it almost always shows up on a 'check for problems' in Worldcraft as a 'texture axis perpendicular to face' error.
If you are using a newer version of Zoner's compile tools, the name of the texture, what # brush/# entity is involved, the coordinates of the problem face, and the amount of scaling should all be listed to make it easier to find and fix.

If the numbers given include a 0, such as 16345/0, it often (but not always) means the texture has gone perpendicular to the face. This usually is a result of rotating the brush, clipping, carving, hollowing or vertex manipulation, remember where you did that and you may find it faster.
If it is numbers like 3456/2 or 3/532 then it usually means a stretching texture problem. These often come from "fitting" a texture to a brush, especially thin brushes like signs or doors. Then a texture may get shrunk too far also, so do not go below 0.1 for scale or over 10 for scale, either causes frequent problems.
If the editor cannot find it for you, using the Big block elimination method or the cordon tool may be you best bet to figuring this out, unless you want to start ripping your level apart....

If the gun rack is an entity, the gun will fall through it. You have to make it a regular brush (or make another regular brush in the same space - clip brush might work too, I tried it once but I don't remember what the result was).
If it is a regular brush, make sure that the armoury_entity is high enough.

This is what I did, hope it's right. I put trigger_multiple under the spawns using an "AAtrigger" texture. Then I made a multi_manager and named it knife1. Then I typed in the trigger_multiple for the "Target" "knife1". Next, I created a game_player_equip and named it, "knife1" also. Finally, I set the game player equip to "Give knife" to yes.

Am I right?

No. That would trigger the multi_manager and game_player_equip at the same time. Do it like this:

1) trigger_multiple under the spawn. Target "multi1".
2) multi_manager anywhere inside the map. Name "multi1". Disable smartedit and add:
- key: "strip1", value: 0
- key: "equip1", value: 1
3) player_weaponstrip anywhere inside the map. Name "strip1".
4) game_player_equip anywhere inside the map. Name "equip1" and give knife Yes.

Do this for each of the T spawns (and put the trigger_multiples high enough so that players won't be able to walk/jump into them), but change the numbers in the names of the entities ("multi2", "multi3", etc.)
In the multi_manager's properties do the following:
disable smartedit
press add
write the name of the player_weaponstrip under key and 0 under value
press ok
press add again
write the name of the game_player_equip under key and 1 under value
press ok

??? (optional)
profit (optional).
What stuff?
Make a trigger_multiple under the spawn, make it target a multi_manager, which in turn targets a player_weaponstrip with the value 0 and a game_player_equip with a value of 1.

Ah yes, that many entities may cause problems. You'll have to remove some (btw you only need 1 light_environment in your map).
Use the texture application tool (shift+a), select the desired face and put a negative number in the X field under Scale (like -1.00).

Do you have the fgd set up under Tools->Game Configurations->Game data files?
Slackiller said:
When hlrad runs, it takes all the visible faces in the game, and divides them into sections called patches. These patches are the textures used as the lightmaps for the world. There is a hard limit of 65535 patches that hlrad can deal with. By default, a 64x64 game unit chunk of space is the size of one patch. If the texture scaling (not texture size) is larger or smaller, it will directly affect the lightmap size as well. This means a texture with scale of 2, will have at best 1/4th as many patches as a texture with a scale of 1.

Putting a 'box' around the level to protect from leaks is the most commmon cause of this error, beyond excessively large maps. The box causes vis to keep the faces on the outside which would normally be thrown away. These faces are then required to have lightmaps. Worst case, is that putting a box around the level will usually cause an extra 40-80% more lightmaps to be created than necessary.

Barring having a box, the other cause is large maps. The fixes are varied but can only help so far.

* Remove any "box" from around your level and fight the leak leak leak war the right way.
* If you have not boxed in your level, then the #1 fix is running HLRAD with the -sparse flag - but compile will be slower.
* Using -chop values larger than the default 64 for hlrad will cause the light patches to be larger. However, for values larger than around 96 the map's lights start looking bad, and will more prominently show the 'staircase' effect on shadows.
* Using a larger scale on large textures (dirt, rock walls, concrete) will help those large surfaces consume fewer patches for lighting.

Did you make a box (skybox) around the whole map?

missing [ in texturedef

The 'missing [ in texturedef' message can be caused several ways:

One or more faces has no texture, or the texturename is just made up of spaces. Check for problems in WC 3.3/Hammer should detect them as 'invalid texture' messages.

The texture name on one or more faces has a space in the middle of the name somehow (Textures are not allowed to have spaces in their names)

You are using Worldcraft 2.0 or 2.1, and the worldspawn has a key/value of "mapversion" "220" If so, remove it.

A Worldcraft 3.3 map was imported into WC 2.1 or 2.2, same problem as above.

A Worldcraft 3.3 map was imported into Quark, also the same problem :)

The map is in Worldcraft 3.3's .map format, but the "mapversion" "220" is MISSING from the worldspawn (this is really rare).

Wait, you want them to get transported to that place at the beginning of the next round? Well, that would change the setup but not the fact that you'd still need a game_team_master properly set up if you wanted only CTs to be able to activate this.

Well, not really.
Make each team (or each player) fall through a trigger_multiple when they spawn and make the trigger_multiple(s) of CTs target a game_player_equip with USP and the trigger_multiple(s) of Ts target one with the glock or whatever it is.

NOOO! I am running on vista! So how would I be able to copy it?

Emm... manually select the file, press ctrl+c, go to your counter-strike map directory and press ctrl+v?

The alternate and advisable solution would be to replace vista with something else.

What's wrong with people now a days?

Someone actually put a scope on a shotgun, and the machine gun, and a pistol. In fact, the only thing I haven't seen a scope on is grenades. I mean seriously, what the hell is a scope on a shotgun going to do for you? Shotguns aren't long range weapons, you might as well put a scope on an ax.

People need to get learned.

4 words for you:
fucked up vertex manipulation

Do an alt+p check for problems and hope that all of the problematic brushes appear on the list. Go to each of those brushes and delete them, then remake them without fucking them up. You may want to read some tutorials on VM first though.

My guess is units per second, which is about the same as inches per second.

Truck
Use func_push and under the compass in the properties set the direction to Up.
Truck
Give the door a name, make a func_button and target the door's name with it.

As for the models you can use the cycler entity.
Alright, the first possible solution is making a sky and a floor for the entire map like this. This might cause some lag (although it worked fine for me) and might look a bit weird. Of course you can also make and texture the brushes a little differently to make it look better but you mustn't be able to see any of the outside area from inside the map.

The second solution is blocking only the part between the two rooms with clip windows like this. That way no entity will be exposed to the outside void. Again use textures different from my white (you can even use the sky texture). This will however prevent the players from seeing the rest of the map through these clip windows.

The third solution is the simplest and most likely the worst one, simply deleting the clip windows and replacing them with solid brushes like this. This will solve the problem but will remove the whole point of the clip brushes which was that you could shoot and see other players across the map.

Think of what would look best on your map and possibly think of your own solution (or a combination of mine) that will look better than all 3 that I've posted.

On a side note you'll have to put a few more lights into your map, unless you want the players to have to play the map with a flashlight (the map was probably fullbright before because of the leak so you didn't see the lighting problems).
Also I fixed a couple of 'malformed face normal' errors (use the alt+p check for problems in hammer to scan for possible errors).
Truck
Nvm, disregard my post about reinstalling. I get the same error. Can you post the .map or .rmf file of this map?
Look. A leak error appears whenever an entity is not completely blocked from the outer void by solid world brushes.

So if you can see any of the black outer space (in hammer) from inside your map, even the tiniest bit, that will cause a leak.

Clip brushes, origin brushes, null brushes and aaatrigger brushes do NOT count as solid world brushes. So in your map the upper parts where the clip brushes are used as windows of some sort with the outside void between, will cause a leak.

The reason there is no leak if you don't put any entities into your map is that there are no entities exposed to the outside void then.

If I have some time later, I'll try to edit your map a bit and upload it.
Your a faggot, gtfo

Now that I got that out of the way, making a clip brush around the map wouldn't get rid of the leak problem, the outer walls cannot have a clip, origin, null or aaatrigger texture. You can however make a sky over your map like this (the blue part is the sky - brushes with the sky texture).
Truck
Put the armoury_entities above the ground, the weapons will fall down to the ground anyway.
As for the pointfile, start at the entity that was given in the error report and then follow the line until it leaves the map. That's where the leak is.
Truck
In that case I'd try reinstalling counter strike. Also upload the .bsp file of your map and I'll try playing it to see if I also get an error.
Kotohunter said:
how do i change where the origin brush is?

Emm... you select it and move it.
You do have both the platform and an origin brush (a brush with the origin texture) tied to the func_rotating, I suppose?
Truck
Did you maybe put a big non-hollow cube around the whole map instead of a ceiling, a floor and walls?
Truck
Please bookmark this truck and post it every time someones put an apostrophe where he shouldnt have or doesnt put one where he shouldve. Or just does something to get on you're nerves.
You should use the 3.4 version of the zhlt and preferrably use a batch file to compile, not hammer (like it says in part 7 of the superjer tutorial).
Truck
Which Counter-Strike version are you running?
Truck
So, just to clarify, if you try to run this map now, it gives you the Mod_LoadBrushModel error?

If so, try using the 3.4 version of zhlt and see if it works then.

Also which OS do you have? (XP 32/64bit, Vista 32/64bit, other?)

You'd have to properly set up a game_team_master which I'm not really sure how you can do (I have done it once but I didn't test it so I can't really be sure whether the way I set it up works or not). I'll be trying it again some time in the future though.

sprinkles said:
What Cloud was trying to say was go to 'map' click 'entity report'
scroll to your light(s) select one click 'go to' and see if its outside your map repeat for all 'light' entities until you find it.

The light entity mentioned isn't actually the problem (well, it can be in the case that it's outside the map). It's merely a 'helpful' pointer to the actual leak, being the closest entity to the leak's location. Of course "closest" is relevant, the light can be quite far from the leak if there are no other entities in between.

So first of all, make sure you haven't put any entities outside of your map.
If you haven't, then make sure your map has a floor, a ceiling and walls to seal the map without even the tiniest hole. You should not be able to see any of the black void outside from anywhere inside the map.
If you can't find anything, load the pointfile and follow it to the leak as it says in the FAQ.

If you really can't find the leak on your own, upload your map to speedyshare and we'll have a look.

Try making a bat file like this:
batch code
cd "C:\Program Files\Counter-Strike 1.6" hl -game cstrike +map mapname

where C:\Program Files\Counter-Strike 1.6 should be replaced with the path to the location of hl.exe and mapname should be replaced by the name of the map you're trying to play.
Ah, the setup is complex due to the helpful fact that ambient_generic can't have a master.

You could just make it so that the entitiy-reseting door would target the button that would in turn target the ambient_generic but that would make the sound start playing at the beginning of the round if it wasn't triggered in the previous round so it's not the best way to solve the problem.

You'd need to do some trigger_relay and multisource work, I think. In any case I'd say the setup is complicated.

What is the Spirit of Half-Life? This is an often asked question, but it's more easy to answer what it is not. It is not a mod that adds special new game modes or styles of play. It is not fast paced multiplayer team based action, like so many other mods these days. So what is it? The Spirit of Half-Life mod is an extension of the original Half-Life code, extended in directions requested and suggested by the mapping community. Want to make doors that move on trains? Spirit has it. Want more control over NPCs? Spirit has it. Better scripting? Spirit. Logic entities? Spirit. Weather? Spirit.

Spirit of Half-Life is available by itself as a mod that mappers can use to make outstanding maps for, or as source code that can be used as the basis for a new mod, or merged into an existing mod.

I'd say they ARE overpowered, just not incredibly overpowered. The important thing is that they are really fun and take skill to use. Someone who hasn't figured out how to use any of them yet, or who doesn't even know they exist (as the game never informs you about them) has very little if any chance against someone who does. But it seems appropriate that someone who doesn't know what most of the attacks are should probably lose. Once you've at least played against them and know how to counter or dodge them you don't have to use them to be able to win.

So basically in JO if you're a noob like me, you can't win. See, at least in JA I can win against anyone except the guys who can actually play the game and those are rare.

aaronjer said:
If you set the forceregentimer to a really small number everyone could just leave lightning on all day or heal non-stop... that would be extremely stupid. Essentially you're saying there is no playable way to have force powers turned on and use lightsabers.

Err... yeah, pretty much. As I said, I play on no FP servers.

aaronjer said:
When you duel in JO you can't use any non-lightsaber related force powers and you're invincible to outside interference and kick damage, so it doesn't matter where you fight or what the settings are. Very well balanced.

Cool.

aaronjer said:
I have one very important question Mate. Have you played both extensively?

No, I have not. As a matter of fact the only thing I did on JO was reach a room that led to many other rooms and each of them had a different color sign above the doorway in the first level of SP. Then I had to replace my computer due to serious hardware malfunctions and never got around to installing it again.
aaronjer said:
"Hooray! A new Jedi Knight game! Now with 75% less content!" WHY DOES ANYONE PLAY THAT GAME?!

Meh, the single player was fun while it lasted. On jedi master difficulty of course, the other difficulties are way too easy. But it was way too short, I finished it in about 2-3 days on master diff, plus the vs. Jedi fights are too easy compared to the fights against some other enemies. The only tough non-boss fight against a lightsaber user was the second time you fight a Reborn Master (which is right before you come outside to the valley of korriban or whatever that place with all the sith tombs is) because you can't grip-throw him of a ledge. Then again you can completely skip that fight by simply moving to the next level (which is the outside) but I still fought him to at least make that entire level mildly interesting.

I might install JO on the other computer and try out the MP (and maybe SP as well) when I finally manage to get to it, as for the laptop, if JA didn't work properly, JO probably won't either.
There is no way to tie entities together if you're not using the Spirit mod.
The glass panel on the door is possible but the glass can't be made breakable.

To do that, tie the door frame (+handle) to one func_door and the glass to a separate func_door. Give them both the same properties (including the name) but set the window's Render mode to Solid and FX Amount to something 50-120ish.
...

Should we really do it again? I mean, it was fun the first time
aaronjer said:
You apparently missed the problem. The issue is that in Jedi Academy every fucking move you make consumes force power. You swing up, force power down 25%. You swing sideways? Force power down 25%. You spend most of your time running away and recharging force power. It's fucking stupid.

That's not really a problem since most servers I play on use the /set g_forceregentime with a very small number so the force power regenerates faster than you can possibly consume it.

aaronjer said:
In Jedi Outcast none of the lightsaber moves use force power. Not even the instant kill jump attack, front kick, side kick and jumping decapitate... overpowered or flamboyant as they are. In JA they TOOK OUT all the cool moves, like the ones I just mentioned. It has less moves, and the crappy ones that are left use huge piles of force power.

So basically the problem with JA is that there are no incredibly overpowered moves?

aaronjer said:
...and no force powers? Then how are you supposed to push noobs off the many precarious catwalks when they jump at the wrong time? That sounds stupid.

No force powers because otherwise the duels become boring grip matches which means jumping around trying to grip your opponent into death. Also on tatooine, which is the most often used map, there are no precarious catwalks.

Nah, don't think so. Because it doesn't even let you into the game if you don't have OpenGL support.
It's a mobility radeon 9200. This is on my laptop.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
It worked fine on single player but on multiplayer I had about 1 FPS even though I had the lowest settings. The same thing happens if I try to play CS in OpenGL (D3D mode works fine on 1280x800 though - unfortunately JA doesn't have D3D mode). Guess my video card's OpenGL support isn't very good.

If you want it to rotate around the z axis then you shouldn't check either of those two flags (X axis/Y axis). If neither of those is selected, it will rotate around the z axis (the vertical one) of the origin brush.

Wait, that's not all.
Test 2 done with even more interesting results:

I changed the func_walls into normal brushes, recompiled and again tried the weapons. This time I could only kill him with the awp and the scout.

One might argue that it was because you can't see through solid brushes so I had no way to aim but I spawned him so that he was directly in front of me on the other side of the two walls at the beginning and I froze him so I know I was aiming well. And I shot a lot of bullets with every one of the weapons then killed myself and spectated him and his health was at 100.
Test 1 done with shocking results:
I made a test map with a terrorist spawn, a ct spawn and two translucent func_walls in between. I spawned a bot and froze him then tried out all the weapons. I managed to kill him through both func_walls with the following weapons:
Desert Eagle
M249 machinegun (the only machinegun - the name depends on the version)
Every single rifle available.

I might do another test with normal brushes now instead of func_walls to see if it changes anything.
Hold on guys, I'll go with a mythbusters approach and report back when I'm done.

Well you could cover the entire map with a trigger_teleport and set the info_teleport_destinations where you want the Ts to get teleported but then you'd have to properly set up a game_team_master as the teleport's master entity which I'm not really sure how you can do (I have done it once but I didn't test it so I can't really be sure whether the way I set it up works or not).

This all would be easier if the Ts at that time could only be in an area that wasn't accessible to the CTs in which case you wouldn't need the game_team_master.
the_cloud_system said:
this may be wrong but... i think if you put 2 walls with a pixle of space between them and make the walls glass txture...





onley bullits treavel threw 2 walls at s time

An awp bullet will go through 2 walls afaik. But anyway, make 2 (or 3) thin blocks with any texture (preferably one that looks like glass), select them and tie them to func_wall. Set the Render mode to Texture and FX amount to something lower than 120 (the less you set, the more translucent the window will be).

Download the map from the tutorial and load it into hammer. Then compare the func_train from that example map to yours and see where yours is different.

If you can't find the problem, upload your map to speedyshare so we can have a look at it.

It should be in the point entity list (press shift+e and the list should be on the right side of the hammer window). If it isn't in the list (or if there's no list at all), you probably haven't set up the fgd properly. So download the fgd from this site's tutorial and in hammer go to tools->options->game configurations and under game data files add this fgd.
Mate de Vita said:
First of all check that you made your map with a ceiling, floor and at least 4 walls (no black void should be visible from inside the map, not even a little bit of it).
Next see that you didn't insert an entity so that it touches the outside void or that it's outside the map completely.
And also make sure that you don't have any brushes textured with CLIP or ORIGIN texture outside your map (or touching the outside void).

lsdlightfulz said:
And this is sort of unrelated, but are these errors normal? (of course, NO errors can be considered normal.. but are these acceptable anyways?)

I don't really know about Source but in the goldsrc games those errors are acceptable, they just tell you that you specified a property that you don't use (this can however cause problems in some cases - for example with some entities' names and targets).

In other words, you should be able to play your map but you might encounter some funny entity behavior (like doors not opening, buttons being unpressable, func_breakables not breaking etc.).
You can just make the func_door's Health property non-zero, I think. The higher the number you put in, the more damage it will take before it opens (if you want any gun to open it in one shot, put 1 here).
Btw when did you change your avy?

Actually I meant your .bat file, not the compile log but now I see you're not compiling using one. Read this and compile as it says there.
In the F.A.Q. Down Rodeo said:
Error: More than eight wadfiles are in use

Like the damn thing says, more than eight wadfiles are being used. Since the compilers store the directory locations in a fixed amount of memory using too many wads can cause a lovely buffer overflow! So while it might say in the log "this may be harmless" it doesn't necessarily mean it. In fact if it warns you of this and your map has failed to compile consider this as suspect. Remove them and try again. Seriously, the number of times we've all seen this error. If you have, say, nine wads and are using one texture from each of them, you will need to merge wads.

Q: How do I merge wads?
1. Download and install Wally (yes, it's the same program you are told to install for making your own wads).

2. Open Wally and from the drop-down menus on the top, go to Wizard-> WAD Merge.

3. You can use either the Add WAD or the Quick Add, depending on your needs. (You can open the Add WAD to see what it has to offer)

4. Set all the other options to suit your needs (WAD type should be WAD3) and hit Go.

Have you checked that they're not in some way damaged (for example torn in half - that could cause problems)? I don't really know what you mean by 'broke it'.

The first and third dreams that I had last night I don't remember anymore I woke up and went back to sleep too many times i dont think i was drunk I only remember that they were along the same theme, continuations of the same dream but with different atmospheres That being said, the second dream shifted from the ordinary, indifferent tone of the first dream into a more ominous nightmarish dream I believe that the first dream ended with me in the parking lot of Taco Bell The sun was gone, either behind the storm clouds that were building or below the horizon (although there was no sunset the time was some time in the evening though) People that I don't know in real life or distinctly remember were talking to me as I started my car, but I have the impression that the words weren't exactly friendly For some reason, my car went over the curb and into the ditch that separated the Taco Bell from the street and turned to the left as it did Suddenly, I was facing the cars instead of the street like I was supposed to This way, it was a lot easier to pull back into the parking spot, which I did I think at this point I simply became tired of the dream and took control by shifting the position of the car with my thoughts Since the dream was an unpleasant one, I chose to wake up at this point to a horrible migraine, which may be responsible for the mood shift in my dream

So, since the ladder restart is coming, that means that my ladder chars are going to become non-ladder, keeping all the ladder items, right?

So, should I keep my infy and forti till after the reset and sell them on non-ladder (since they're ladder-only runewords, they're bound to be worth more on non-ladder, at least if I wait a bit after the reset) or even buy a few more to resell them after the reset (the USWest nl pc says infi is 70-90 fg)?

Also if you make the player spawns too close to each other, some players may die at the beginning of every round.
Just finished CoD 4 singleplayer a few days ago and I have to say I was impressed. It was a bit short (a lot shorter than CoD 1 - which incidentally I was playing when you made that post) but still I thought it was pretty awesome. What I really liked about it though was the atmosphere of the game, to which the music contributed a lot.

Have just started multiplayer, I like it so far but it takes a bit of getting used to and you need to level up a bit (or a lot for P90) to unlock the good stuff.

If you mean so you can't walk through it, you need to add a hitbox to it in your modelling program. How exactly you do that, I have no idea.

Well a skybox around the map isn't a thing you want in your map, you should make the sky properly.

But unless any of the skybox is close to the edge of the grid, it's not what's causing the problem.

Did you use any vertex manipulation in your map?
Truck
Well, the best program in my opinion is 3DSMax (I tried out a few of them, I liked it best). But there are some issues with compiling animated half-life .mdls from 3DSMax so if you use it, you'll need both 3DSMax and Milkshape (if you're not going to animate your models, then 3DSMax will do fine).
One more thing is it's not free (I guess you could download it via torrent if you don't care about anti-piracy laws).

In any case this is a decent tutorial to get you started in modelling.

A paladin that can't teleport would be torn to shreds by iron maiden and skellingtons.

You have been using vertex manipulation and apparently you did something you shouldn't have. Find those brushes (the easiest way is with the alt+p check for problems and the go to button), delete 'em and remake them.
You can re-model them (i.e. give them a new look and animation) but you cannot change any of their properties (rate of fire, accuracy, damage, clip size, ammo type, etc.) without some coding (meaning making a mod).
Try reinstalling your hammer.

Also post your map at e.g. speedyshare so we can take a look at it.

A decently equipped paladin may be able to beat a necro (depending on which builds you use) but a summon necro with crap equipment will own any paladin with crap equipment as far as I know (and as you just started playing I would doubt that you'll be able to get good equipment right from the start).

Yes, both the bat files and the mods work like a charm. I can finally play diablo with 1920x1080 resolution. And the median mod is looking pretty awesome.
I now play on battle.net on my new old laptop.
So, trying out the median mod for d2lod, I discovered that it overwrites the 1.12a patch for the original d2lod. Which means that if you want to play normal d2lod, you need to have a backup of the original patch somewhere and copy it over the median patch (you can't install it). Now I wrote two bat files for myself to try to automize this process everytime I want to switch between the two games and here they are:

For switching to median:
cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Matej\Desktop\Stvari za igrce\D2LoD MedianXL patch" copy Patch_D2.mpq "C:\Program Files\Diablo II" cd "C:\Program Files\Diablo II" pause PlugY


For switching back to the original:
cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Matej\Desktop\Stvari za igrce\D2LoD Original 1.12a patch" copy Patch_D2.mpq "C:\Program Files\Diablo II" cd "C:\Program Files\Diablo II" pause PlugY

PlugY.exe is the game executable.

Now what I want to know is are these correctly written because I don't want to run them and then discover that they fucked something up.

Not really. Just that IGN apparently shares that person's opinion that an assassin can not and should not be a good character.
But I did go single player on the linux computer with the mod PlugY and am currently playing with your build of trap assassin from the beginning. The bad news is I'm at normal baal right now. The minions of destruction were really hard to kill but otherwise I haven't had problems with anything yet. We'll see how baal will be.
Also I'm a bit underleveled, usually I was about 38-40 here on sp (which is around the level of monsters), now I'm at 32. But it was all so easy I just kept on going through without stopping to level a bit.

Just do what it says in the link... If you have any textures scaled far above 10.00, fix that, otherwise do an alt+p check for problems.
So, my first program in C is done. It does pretty much the same as the one in C++ (2 integers, then it adds, subtracts, multiplies, divides and exponentiates (?) them) but this one also asks how many decimal places you want to have in the division results. But it doesn't have a "Would you like the program to repeat (Y/N)?" loop at the end yet. I'll have to implement that when I learn how to compare strings (and chars).
Have you tried env_rain?
Well, if it's the same as with func_door then the water will rise as much as the water brush is high. So if the water surface is originally 24 units above ground, it will be 48 units above ground afterwards.

If you want to make it rise less, put a number in the Lip field of the func_water's properties. The Lip value will be subtracted from the original height. So if you put 10 into the lip field in the aforementioned (word lol?, I hope it means what I think it means ^^) example, the water level would be at 38 units above ground. If you put -5 into the lip field, it would be 53 units above the ground, 48-(-5)=48+5=53.

Then press alt+p and see if any errors show up. If they do, select one and press go to. It should take you to the problem brush unless you have other errors in your map.
Ok, I'll read those today.

Btw what's evaluated sooner == or || ?

For example if I want to repeat the loop if x equals 1 or 2, which line is correct:
while (x==1 || 2)
while (x==1 || x==2)

(yes, I could also make more brackets to make both correct - probably - but that's not the point)
You sure you wrote 336 in the Entity number field, not in the brush number field?
I'm sure I sent it to you. Maybe.

For example if I want to printf an integer variable's value then a plus sign ("+") and then another integer variable's value that were previously read by scanf, I have no idea what to use. I just know from that tutorial that it has something to do with %d and &variable_name.
So I'm not even sure what to google.

What I would really need is a good C tutorial for a complete beginner. Though my dad did say he has some book about C, it may prove to be useful. If he can find it.
Damn, this tutorial sucks. It just tells you all the time, yes you do this like this: example, but we'll explain why this is so later.
Do you maybe have something better for C?

The test program works fine though

I'm staying out of this truck. Actually AJ pretty much summed it up for me.

Yes kookid, I think you've already shown to us that you are slow in the general section. Actually you more pointed it out but w/e. But what in the name of are you doing here? I wasn't aware of the fact that you either need or could offer any C/C++ help.
Try to stay away from decompiling maps unless absolutely necessary.
How exactly do I run the a.out? If I go to that directory and just write a.out it says command not found.
Down Rodeo said:
Check your home folder. There should be a file called "a.out" there which you can run with the terminal. Uh, there should also be a green arrow at the top of the screen, unless I'm thinking of another IDE.

K, will try that when I get to my linux computer.

Down Rodeo said:
So, tell us, what does it do? :D

This one is actually just the default start up script, which is int main() { printf("Hello World!\n"); return 0; }

Down Rodeo said:
And when you say, nothing happens, does it error at you, or just pull up another terminal line?

The latter, just pulls up another terminal line.

1. The first floor of my level has water in it and i am trying to create a wheel on a different floor that raises the water level on floor 1. I am also trying to make the wheel spin when it is used- i searched the superjer forums but i didn't see a similar question- sorry if this is a repost.

I think func_rot_button should do the trick for this. As for the rising water, I'm not completely sure but try this: tie it to func_water, set the compass to Up. Set the speed etc. to whatever you wish. Give it the name 'water' and make the func_rot_button target 'water'.

2. This one is a tad trickier- I currently have a game_player_equip set up to give the players on both teams both a knife and a m3. The problem is that i am trying to have a storage cabinet in the level that will equip the player with armor, auto shotgun, and an HE grenade. I can get this to work if i use trigger_once, but if i enable trigger multiple (like i want to- i want the storage cabinet to refresh) the second game_player_equip Adds to the first one and the players spawn with m3, autom3, armor, grenade, and knife. either that or it completely replaces the original game_player_equip- both have happened.

What am i doing wrong? how can i get less stupids?
help plox!

Can't you just place the items on the ground in the storage cabinet using the armoury_entity?
Also if you're mapping for cs, never use trigger_once unless you want whatever it triggers only to be triggered in the first round.
Just tie the doors to func_door, name them 'door', tie the button to func_button, target 'door'.

Your worst nightmare. Getting stung by a bug. Really. You must live a very carefree existence.

No, it's not really like that. As I said I dreamt once that a T-rex bit off half of my torso. Another time I dreamt of a nuclear bomb inside my head (literarly) blowing up. But still, somehow that dream was still worse. Not sure why.
How do I compile a program I wrote with Code::Blocks in the terminal (using gcc)? If I write gcc test.c nothing happens.

2nd try woot! Stupid cat, could've easily escaped but didn't.

EDIT: and again in the 3rd attempt (5th altogether).

Back to the topic at hand, I remember when I was younger I had this dream quite often.
There was a birthday party at my house and then I went upstairs and into my room and there was someone there and we talked about some cartoons (I can't remember which). Then I noticed a moth-like creature with a long and spike-like behind on the floor and for no apparent reason I stuck my hand below it. Then it stung me with that thing and then I woke up.
The interesting part is that I had this exact same dream quite a few times, the only difference was that the person in my room was always a different one.
Another interesting thing is that this was my worst nightmare ever. I was always crying like crazy when I woke up... Even though I did once dream I had half my torso eaten by a T-Rex while I was flying on a Pterodactyl. It may have been after watching Jurassic Park. Or maybe after the first time I played through the Lost Valley level of Tomb Raider 1. DR, I'll freely admit that I don't believe you.

For some reason I just triple posted. I didn't think that was possible. Ah well.

You did?
Down Rodeo said:
Applications -> programming. I assume you used the Add/remove programs tool?

Nope, terminal commands, I copied them off of their wiki. Anyway it is right where you said it'd be. Amazing.
I installed Code::Blocks now but I can't run it... How do I run it?
Contents of your .bat file please.

I'd call that two links, personally. I mean, you could say it's a single link between two posts, but you specifically said chain. And in a chain each object is referred to as a link, and not the connection between them.

Yeah, my bad, I fixed it as soon as I saw it. Ah, w/e.
Truck
That chain was 2 LINKS LONG. How is that even a chain?
Down Rodeo said:
You could do it like that. You don't have to - in fact it is entirely possible to do it with loops and control variables. But I'd be interested to see your solution. For what it's worth arrays are defined like
int myIntArray[50]
Remember that the elements are numbered from 0.

I was thinking something like a for loop that checks every number from 1 to 1000 if it gives anything when modded (spelling lol?) by (with?) 3 and 5. If either of those mods is zero it writes the number into the array[z] and then does z++ (so that the next number is written into the next field).
Then another for loop, this time for z and just do number+=array[z] (or whatever the syntax for that is).

Another way I thought of is first a while loop that does while y<1000 y+=3 z++ array[z]=y and then another while loop that does the same for 5, only that it checks for every number if it's been written into the array before. Then it finishes the same way as the previous one.

And yes, I do usually complicate where there's no need to. That's one of the main flaws I need to get rid of if I'm to be any good at programming.

Also I may have made a few mistakes right now, I'm a bit tired after a 2-hour training and a 1 and a half hour walk home afterwards while pushing a bike with a flat tire.
I'll get to this tomorrow, right now I think I'm going to just fall down asleep.

Down Rodeo said:
Fair enough. It seems sound, but if ever you want to make a program that is not for your own use, be careful with user input. People have been known to put some crazy shit in there...

What do you mean by that?

Down Rodeo said:
Also, remember those Project Euler links I gave you? I'd recommend them as a great way to get started in the language. They can teach you recursion and useful tricks for speeding programs up. I guess you could post here or in the truck I made.

Yeah, I'll do the problems there, but first I need to learn the basic syntax of C :) Mostly for arrays because I'll be needing them in the first problem, I think. If I'm to do it like my head is telling me to do it.

Also is there a certain text editor that I can use that's made for the purpose of programming? Because I'm used to having a text editor that e.g. automatically makes 2 spaces or a tab or whatever you're using when you go to a new line and stuff like that.
Truck
Surely. This post was edited by an asshole admin.
First of all post the compile log, the lag could also be caused by an error in compiling.
Otherwise you'll have to do some optimization. Here's one tutorial on optimization, I'm sure you could find a few more if you google.
