LMAO.. searching for Hece gave me that result in like... 3rd or 4th line: http://www.worth1000.com/entries/29000/29159hece_w.jpg ROAR!

wtf i'm ultra magnus too

only thing that comes up with my name are ss-related stuff... screenshots... and.. this? (which comes from ssforum too) http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/1004/birthdayguy8co.gif

once you made the first frame, there's a shiprotator somewhere to create the rest of the file

yeh... the walltile now propagates to all the tiles it finds... maybe its not a good idea to put that in settile well, 'propagate walltiles' would be a nice option... maybe set a limit to the propagation.. like 1 tile would change the tiles just beside where you put a walltile... hm... we need to be able to make it preview correctly when dragging a rectangle for example.. that might be hard

yeh.. i wasnt to the 'comment' part yet lol and yes, your menu icons got moved up... didnt know how to fix those so.. er... i'll update.. and comment i don't know if you noticed how I made it check which wall-tile to use... i've had that cool idea and it probably speeds up the process a lot... i add 1 if a tile is on the right, i add 2 if a tile is over, i add 4 if a tile is on the left, and i add 8 if a tile is under... when adding these up, you get a number from 0 to 15, corresponding directly to the walltile of course, when setting the wall-tile, each tile has to be !@#$%^&*igned the correct number.. so.. anyways.. and yes, I was tired of having the wall-tiles on the to-do list Off-topic: I cleaned the suggestions/bugs thread, and I rearranged the 'builds 1.1.*' and 'latest build' threads, so that all the links to the 'latest build' thread still points to that thread... that link was posted on many forums and it might have caused some users to download the 1.1.11 build as the link was heading to that thread...

Walltiles are almost done! You can now convert a selection to one of the walltiles set you selected (You can create up to 8 sets). There are options that allow you to allow the conversion to include special tiles, such as doors, flags, safety tiles, goal tiles, fly over tiles, fly under tiles, extra tiles, or small asteroids tiles. You can not yet use any tools with the walltiles, but that should be done soon You can use partial sets, which means that if you don't set a tile for every tile of the set, it will not convert any tile to that tile and will just leave it as it is. Feel free to try it out and report problems with it What I would like to do with them next: Use walltiles with any tool Save / Load walltiles configuration Save walltiles configuration when saving the map As for the walltiles interface, I'm not very sure how to place the things, it just doesnt seem to fit well... if you have any idea on how it could be placed, tell me (maybe if I make it able to handle 9 sets, I could place them 3x3... then it might fit....... mmmmm... ) [attachment removed , please check 'Latest build' thread]

hmmm.. that too.. but we should be able to resize it via a resize window too... edit -> resize and did you try to see what happens with diagonal walls with each of these resizing methods?

as option i meant, at the moment of resizing, pop up something to ask: what kind of resizing you want? a ) some kind of resizing b ) another kind of resizing c ) just try to resize and stfu [ ] always use this [ preview ] [ do it ] kinda like when you 'resize' in paint shop pro.. you can choose between Pixel resize, Bilinear resample, Bicubic resample, Smart size and then enter the proportions.. horizontally and vertically, either in % or in pixels (that would be tiles for us)

or give option to use one of the 3 'rendering' options... give them some complicated names like Bilinear Anti-aliasing Sampling or Synchroneous Axis Redundancy Check lol ... if you can see a preview for each , it would probably be the best thing to do, as one method might give better results for 'some' type of base, or areas

Actually, if it is redrawn only at mouseup, i.e. at the end of a movement, 100ms is nothing

ew nice Hm, could make it check for draw/paste type aswell... if tileisinselection AND (parent.pastetype=p_normal or (parent.pastetype=p_under and parent.gettile(i,j)<>0) or (parent.pastetype=p_trans and sel.seltiles(i,j)<>0)) THEN draw the tile from the selection else draw the tile from the map end if

working on it at the moment... great work you did there Drake

this must have to do with your windows theme... the default cursor is the opposite of the background color.. if its used on a black background, its white, if used on white background, its black... But if you're using custom themes / cursors, it might affect that behaviour I guess

nice... I'll take a look in a couple of days when I get time

currently experimenting new way of selecting stuff... its going pretty well.. just the way that you got your rectangle to draw was wayyyyyyy too complicated... you were dealing with pixels and offset and drag correction... all of this caused a couple of bugs of selection flickering near the edge of map or when using shift i made it much simpler by dealing only with the tiles, then convert only once to pixels to get the shape's coordinates ; it works very well edit: try this out... make a backup of the files somewhere and replace what is in this zip file ; its like pre-pre-beta but moving selections normally / under / transparently works fine... selection's content is not updated while moving it yet.... and dont even try to compile half of the code of the .cls wont even work yet i copied from original selection.cls and am replacing the code gradually at this point selection kind of acts as another layer and would be very easy to manipulate (flip / rotate after move) and the way the selection is drawn is much more bug-free... no flickering near the edges and it works fine with shift to make a square selection [Attachment removed ; outdated]

how immature...

grisoft's AVG is a free antivirus .. it works fine

well a lot of problems can be solved if the selection starts to act like the clipboard' date=' but you can speed things up with the selection. a probable solution could be this: - define a picselection picturebox - when selection becomes 'append' copy the selection to an array (much like the clipboard array). This alone fixes every problem and annoyance with you can't do this and that when you moved the selection, as you just apply that function to the selection array - now for the visible stuff in that matter. you can either generate the picture in the picselecting by iterating over the selection array (note that picselection dimension == picpreview dimension to avoid overflow errors, and the rest will be useless work anyway as it is not visible, and you can't move the selection out of the boundaries so pieces becoming visible is also no problem, note that you still apply the whole selection array, not the visible part alone). So what about pixel level, as it takes too much time to draw the entire pixel level stuff, well you could copy the part of the pic1024 and store it in picpixelselection picturebox, and apply functions on that part (you should do that anyway, also when not on pixel level, as you can then copy that to the pic1024 for speed) - when you apply the selection, the easy part is to just copy the selection array into the tile array on the right offset - then after you did that, you can either bitblt from the picselection or the picpixelselection to the piclevel or pic1024 respectively (well actually, both, if not on pixel level, and the latter if on pixellevel and call an updatelevel) and that should about cover it. You can then make any further optimizations by using selection for everyting from clipboard, PTM , TTM and such as it is basicly also an array and a picclipboard. If things will get slower i don't know, but it should give you much more freedom with selections[/quote'] Wouldnt it be easier to just store the tiles contained by the selection, and then whenever the preview is refreshed (selection moved, map moved) , render the necessary tiles (i.e. if the current tile is contained in the selection area, render the seltiles(x,y) tile instead of tile(x,y) ) That way it would also be very easy to make it preview a 'draw under' selection, or a 'transparent' selection... updating pixel level preview or radar wouldnt be a problem either no need to screw around with pictureboxes ... and flipping / rotating / replacing tiles in... a moved selection would be a piece of cake as well I think this way would be much simpler... I just don't know if it will be performant ; well it shouldnt take any more time than to do a normal UpdatePreview

Windows is 'crappy' only because 90% people are using it, therefore, if you are someone who develops crap program to spam everyone or viruses, you develop them for windows, and search for security breaches in windows... if 90% of the people were using *nix, trust me, it would be full of crap as well.

only resizing open spaces wouldnt work.. you'd have to resize similar tiles in a row as well... a wall that looks like _________ wouldnt be resized horizontally if you resize open spaces only

a nasty program installed on another account will screw up the whole computer...
