I made some improvements for saving and loading ASSS regions. The opening speed was already improved in the latest release, due to the new byte array. I'm using Hyperspace's omega11.lvl file as reference... that map has like 50 huge regions Opening it takes me 3.7s This morning, saving it took me like 32s I just made that much quicker... saves in 11s now. Still long, but can't say a 66% decrease is negligeable Basically it was using very inneficient dynamically-resized arrays... Everytime it had to add something in the array, it had to resize it. Resizing an array while preserving the data (Redim preserve in VB) takes a significant time, because it actually has to allocate a whole new larger memory block, then move the stuff there. Now it resizes the array once every 256 operations or something like that. Some other minor tweaks made it gain a bit of speed. Yeah, that was made long ago, I used to make dumb code

True, Nero 7.x does not work on Vista, from what I heard. And my buddies had problems with Nero 8 as well, but that could be a problem in the installer I had. And yeah, the latest Nero suites are fricking huge... when it asks you which file type you want to !@#$%^&*ociate with it, it can basically handle EVERY !@#$%^&* file type: images, videos, audio, compilations... you name it. It's pretty ridiculous

The copy-paste in the tile editor is pretty buggy, indeed... You can copy a tile to somewhere else much quicker from the Tileset editor, though. If you drag a tile (or a set of tiles) with the right mouse button, you can move them somewhere else on your tileset and it will swap them. If you hold the Ctrl key, it will copy the set of tiles.

Not adding 30K starfighter cause of how easy it seems to be to screw up the high scores with it (check the high scores :/ )

yes

I'll go work as a border agent, and copy games and software from these people instead of downloading! !@#$%^&* yeah. That is pretty !@#$%^&* stupid... the next step will be that every computer will be rigged with some trojans that search for stuff and report to the government...

If you're on XP, go in My Computer, right-click your drive, properties, tools, error checking, check now, check both options. You'll have to reboot for the check to actually be done, and it can take a long time (an hour or so, depending on how big your drive is) This does basically what frank said, but for XP.

Zones usually have a ?cheater command Just say ?cheater this dude is doing this Online moderators will be notified.

Changing weapon colors can be quite confusing (for both newbies and vets)

Once you rename and move it, you should be able to get rid of it from the command prompt

You get grades on a live chat? lol

Well, you gain the millisecond it takes to load it... that's about it

http://www.ibpdownloads.com/ipb/index.php?autocom=arcade Register there, and try some games... they have like 4000 games. If you find one that is fun, link me and I'll add it here. Adding a game is easy, but finding one that is worth adding takes more time And you seem like someone with time

You sure it didn't just take 500 pts from you because that's what it cost? (Just before I changed it, that is)

Kind of like rootbear said; and also like you were told on MineGoBoom's forums: 1) Make real sentences with proper grammar and punctuation if you want people to take you seriously. 2) Explain what you want with some more details. No one will bother stealing your ideas anyway, because of the work involved. Would be much easier to help your own project. 3) You can't promise population... Population of a zone depends of much more than the originality of the idea. Staff, contacts network, host, just to name a few, are other important factors. 4) If you want people to do stuff for you, show them that you are willing to work hard too, by showing stuff that you started to work on, and by making an effort to type properly. Not trying to put you down, just telling you that you need to adjust your strategy there, or this will not work.

Yeah, definitly cache issue By the way, if you use IE7: Tools -> Internet Options under General, in the History section, there's a Settings... button In there, there's a 'Check if a newer version of a page exists ... ' thing, if you set it to 'Everytime a page loads', you might get less of these kind of issues. If your internet or your computer is slow it might not be a good thing though. PS: These instructions were translated from my french version of Internet Explorer, if anything doesn't exactly match, I don't care.

Could do that Thought about doing it, actually, but I figured I'd do it only when people complain What bothers you about it, actually? It unloads as soon as the main window is done loading, so it shouldn't make you waste any time wow... I used ' ' on EVERY line of this message...

Good point about setrectangle... however, we can still save half the job my making a first FillMemory with the first byte, then change the value of the remaining 1/2 bytes But the greatest advantage in this will be copying parts of it. We'll be able to copy portions of the map directly in the selection really quick

If they got the 400$ for the front page with that, sue them!

Read first post.

lol, yes But I realised what I did wrong WHILE typing it (needed 'if' instead of 'while'), so it wasn't a waste

She's either implying that her father's cute, or that that guy's moustache shouldn't be there

Oh well, it's rock solid now... I did everything I could to try to crash it, it didn't want to

Woot, it works To make it crash, you really need to 'want' to... like... telling it to open a bunch of maps while it's not started yet, and try to open the same files again while it's still starting... There's a way to make it more stupidproof, but for now I think this next update will fix all known problems

You guys are sure she's not his daugther or something? And what's up with that moustache?
