don't put continuum on your c: drive, put it on your d: par!@#$%^&*ion (vista protects the drive where windows is installed on, even when run on admin). While this is generally a good thing, legit applications also get access denied errors when they are calling the file API of windows (i've had it with my programs in vb in vista). I always seperate my C: windows and D: my program files/games E: remainder eps, etc, so when i reinstall i only have to format my C:, and i still have all my data

whewt, i calculated an approximate how much money i would have lost if i went to parties and/or drank alcohol. About 20€ every other week as an average for an approximate, for about hmm 5 years. 26*10*5 = 1300€ already, and still going up. Woot . More money to save up for later use or to buy something that's actually more useful ^^ (wheter it's for me or someone else) (i dunno but i think that price is average if you have to pay 5-7.5€ for entrance alone, and it's not like you would go to a party every week too) Satisfaction ratio would be significant higher with that, than spending it on parties where you get surrounded by morons (even more than normal!, and that's already pretty bad at my current college) or get drunk and fail to remember stuff ^^

yeah, once you wake up a lot on the same time, you adjust your biorythm to wake up on its own. Try adjusting to time when you don't have a wrist watch anymore >.> , after a while you can guess time pretty well

The problem is (at least for me) finding something to talk about though. (/me requests topic split :/ )

aren't we all I dunno for plugins, i haven't got a single clue how to code one (most likely through dll's) and/or if it's possible in vb6 (dll's are though)

ehm? not more than any other messaging program ?

unless you encrypt each packet with the checksum. (like every minute) Server -> challenge -> Client Client closed module creates checksum Client closed module has encryptPacket() that needs to be used when data is sent to server The time interval (e.g 1 minute) recycling would be used so the checksum can't be figured out when a lot of packets are sent (like the way WEP is cracked) Hm though, the fake client could always use the legit module :/

or you implement a voting system that when enough users vote, the user gets monitored much more closely (server checks about anything the client sends). That avoids the server strain (unless people would actually be bothered or bored enough to do this on about every user in the zone but i doubt that (voting amount restriction could solve that)).

like team 1 has to protect the jav while the others have to destroy it ?

you contradict yourself

save as bmp or bm2, don't use png

For some reason even beyond me, i wondered about the file format. Now a lvl file can be as much as 4mb, but usually it's smaller because it only saves x,y, tile for every non 0 tile. But why wouldn't there be a flag like compressed/uncompressed, that, when the number of tiles exceed 333334 tiles (~1mb) it switches over to a standard bitmap like tile tile tile tile tile tile .... tile for every tile, that would also be ~1mb. That way, lvl files will never exceed 1mb.

lol that apology doesn't sound so professional, being it so informal

i would take a look at it, but i'll have to a) install tortoisesvn revert to 3.1.12 code base, because the rewritten functions that same was working on were not complete c) reapply all fixes that were done d) look and try to fix that bug e) learn for my exams, i'm in the middle of exam period, having 1 in a few hours, making my time severely limited ( e) not in order of all others )

voice com but not over the main server, take a voice server for that like a teamspeak one, but integrate it with TCP. Also, not everyone should be able to use voice. If you have teams, you'll propably want a/multiple team leader(s) that instructs and informs others about the strategy, if everyone else starts chatting through that, which i'm sure they will, then voice will be useless

I like to be in control of my own mind, i can't stand the thought of it, so i avoid any drugs that make you lose that. I don't smoke but if i had to choose i'd prefer smoking over drinking anytime You can get arrested if you're drunk in public (Public intoxication) Now i know to never ever go to a party . Still, i wonder what alcohol-free parties would be like then... i guess most people would find them boring because they're used to the booze :/

Do you drink anything alcoholic ? Why do you or why don't you ? I wonder why at every party there has to be booze, i mean, it's like that people can't enjoy themselves without it. I know the usual reasons are peer pressure and to "fit in", why else would someone love drinking until they p!@#$%^&* out or vomit it all out moments later ? I know those are extreme cases and not everyone who drinks alcohol is like that, far from it, but still those ppl are always there. They are actually luring people to parties by saying "Free beer from that hour to that hour" on their posters, like that's the only thing that counts. I really don't see the pleasure getting drunk as !@#$%^&* and don't remember anything at all from it in the morning. And they actually brag about it later too, like wow they must be the coolest persons in the world kinda way. For those who want to say, why don't you? to me: I don't drink any alcohol because i find it disgusting (yes i've tasted beer before) and hate what it does to people and i tend to avoid parties because i can't stand the smell of beer or drunk people. And it's safe to say that every party is like that, every party that includes alcohol that is, and all of them do :/.

not that i know of

yeah i agree. TCP shouldn't be made in vb6 anyway, it's too tedious for big projects, especially when multiple people work on it. C# or java is the best choice, but java is too slow for games, so that only leaves c# . With proper comments and source control programming classes shouldn't be that hard. And yeah, design patterns are very useful, but take up quite a bit of overhead in the start, which is for small projects a little too much, but for projects the size of TCP, it's worth the cost. It gives a nice structure, better readability, more reusability that prevents the project from going to one big ball of spaghetti

OOP sucks for RDE (rapid development environment). I'll learn languages whatever i have to learn for school/work, but i'll still stick to vb6 if i need to make something. There's way too much overhead in other languages that i don't care about and is pretty useless most of the time anyway (vb6 hides all that) @rootbear not interested in C# or spending countless hours of programming while i have no time doing that. I'm 21, i think it's about time to build myself a life now... though programming is waaaaaaaaaaaaay easier

wait what ?

laptop, gba i used to have a playstation, and i used to be able to play on my bro's playstation 2 and gamecube, but he moved (!@#$%^&* took the playstation with him )

i don't get nothing, i would refuse anything i get anyway. I absolutely hate, detest, whatever christmas & new year for some reason

you just said it Oh, you caught me. Now you have to spend your life in my pokeball xD oh wait... Shock, i choose you!

you mean autoredraw = true
