Found out about max_ship_types, and why Multiplayer crash`s
in Multiplayer when MAX_SHIP_TYPES is bigger than 200 and certainly when it is bigger than 254. It has something to do with the netcode regarding packet size and how the stats functions. stores data. press my link above and read about my progress.

ugh.... why can't you just use normal text size? did normal text size abuse you as a child? or did you just sign over your soul to that tiny little unreadable text?

i could make it bigger, but, did you know that you can choose your own text size from within MSIE, and im sure you can in all other browsers.

goto view, now i dont know what it says in english, but it should read out TEXTSIZE, and you thereby have 5 choices
smal
smallere
medium ("default")
bigger
biggest.

/little rant
and who the **** are you to be such a smart mouth, when you dont even know the basics of your browser.

whoa calm down, im on medium, i know how to get to largest... but why the hell do you have to make it so small.... my random estimate is about 5% of users have their browser on largest...

If you knew how to increase text size, then why complain & It is not like you are the voice of the rest of the internet. and I am calm.

But your way of putting it to me that my text was to small, was being a smarth mouth.

let me give you a tip; nobody likes a smart mouth.

But no hard feelings, that was why i wrote /little rant.

Thx :)

Fixed the secondary fire bug, where when bank is out of ammonition, next secondary bank in line inherits the previous bank`s fire delay, even when the next bank in line did not have the same kind of weapon.

There was when bank empty a delay of 250 ms when bank empty and switch, should just add 250 ms of delay. Instead it did what we all knew.

Deleted this delay, as i simply can' t see any reason for it, when it does what it does.  the time_stamp function just dont seem to work in that way, like who-ever wrote it, would like it to.

In the absence of a centralized repository, it would be nice to have a place to store these "little" mods to the source code, so they don't get lost when we do get source control set up eventually...

I don't know if Windows/MSVC has a similar tool, but unix has a diff utility that generates the differences between two file versions, this is much easier to deal with than uploading an entire source module when there are only 3-4 lines changed.  The diff file can be read by the patch utility to modify the code and implement the new changes.

Dunno if this (HLP) is the right place to do it, but if you have made a small change, maybe upload the changed lines, indicating the source file and the (original) line numbers that were affected.  Also, this way we can credit the appropriate developers!

Moderators, please correct me if this is inapproriate...

I think that is VERY appropriate, if nothing else, stored in a thread on a forum. It's also the next step in what I was getting at with standards. If your stuff is well-commented, it will be easy for everyone to track down your changes :)

Windows has diff and other comparison utilities, FYI.

Diff still rules, so a non-license breaking CVS server would be the best, but even with that, not every change should make it into the main code.

Need something to post exactly what penguin suggests, that is searcheable.

Have a look at http://www.garagegames.com at the "resource" or "code snippet" links. Those are largely community submitted, many directly affecting the main Torque codebase.

Something like that, I think would be perfect?

I see no problem with that, and in fact I want to encourage that kind of exchange... what better way to teach someone than by example? (I know I could use it... :o ) Plus if everyone shows what they did to make something work, everyone else won't have to spend time figuring out how to make it work on their copy... :) They'll just have the code which will show clearly how it was done... :)
HLP's... Ummm... Can I get back to you on that?

well a centralized referring point would be very useful in my opinion, with a list what has been done, what is in progress, what would be cool to be done, and possibly all these modifications (when tested, compatible and stable) grouped in opens source (un)official patches, in order to don't have two programmers working at the same thing, or at something that has already be done, and to give to all modders all the same stuff and variables to work with

That's the idea, Karma.

I started another thread, so as to not hijack this one :)

What was the problem with anon-CVS?
