I've just finished parsing "editor.c"... well, over 770 strings - there is some duplicate, though... Maybe a runtime function that translates string to string on the fly would be too slow, besides, if each string in the source code is replaced by a macro representing an integer, the lookup...

Hi all, I had a look to the source code of RnD, to find a quick and simple way to add some internationalization. Well, the string literals are hardcoded in the source... in a first time, I thought about a simple parser that scans all the source files, extracts the strings (except those in the commen...

The problem with custom explosions is that if you blow up a "wall with emerald" or a CE that uses that sort of technique, you don't get an emerald: you get empty space. I know. In fact, I have discussed that issue in another thread, some time ago: http://www.artsoft.org/forum/viewtopic.ph...

Is it possible to make a real 3x3 explosion? I mean, if I can make a big explosion picture for the explosion corners and the center one. Also for 3+3 explosion. I have made a custom 3x3 explosion in the Super BD-Rock example set: http://www.zomis.net/rnd/info.php?f=616 - I think it should be in lev...

If I recall correctly, I have used the [-1] [+1] tokens as conditions in the MathSums levelset ( dl from the RnD archive ), and they worked properly... seems a new bug introduced in the latest releases of RnD - well, just my two cents, and I could also be wrong, posting by memory... [edit] Well, I w...

Yes, definitely a happy ending! Hope my new avatar won't frighten anyone, I am not a dual-personality fellow like Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, I am simply Mr. Hyde ;) About the "independence" issue, I must say that I didn't think about the "independence from what/who" part... even if, be...

Uhuhuh ahahah ahrrr :twisted: I can't believe my eyes, I am posting from home! I have been able to reboot the old piece of junk... the memory bank had some kind of false contact - at least I think so, because I have disconnected every single peripheral one by one to locate the problem, and the syste...

Thank you for your words... today is the independence day in the US, and it made me think about the fact that I am a bit too addicted to computers... maybe this pause will help me somehow. As I wrote above, I do have a working PC in front of me, and I could install anything on it, if I like - as som...

I had long periods when everything was going just fine, but those days seem quite far, today. I spent the whole weekend reassembling an old AMD K7 500 - to use it while the assistance is checking my laptop - I've been able to install both Mandriva and WinXP on that old piece of junk, and they seemed...

Hi everybody... yesterday I was using my laptop, I turned my head to speak with one friend of mine, and when I looked at the computer again, it was off. It shut down alone, all at once, and I wasn't able to turn it on again. Luckily, the HD is ok (I've read it with an external 2,5 box), but now I am...

Very well, so I'll begin adding the stuff on the wiki when it will be put online again. I am no so accustomed with wikis, but it shouldn't be that hard. The structure of my documentation will have to change: having more separate pages will be surely better than it is now. And, of course, anyone who ...

Hi Flumminator, we had not the occasion to speak about it, mostly because I didn't contact you. When I started writing the documentation, I've shared some pre-releases with Holger and with some users of the forum, and I've been suggested to merge my work with the already existing RnD-wiki. I was ske...

Yes, that page on Jim Loy's website misses completely that issue - but Jim's website has also lower claims

About your equations... I must admit that I am not so used to resolving such things, I prefer to look up the answers from the web

I am adding the coords to the program.

Well, thinking better... I have my part of fault. The Wolfram's page about the Fermat's point states In a given acute triangle ABC, the first Fermat point X [...] is the point X which minimizes the sum of distances from A, B, and C It doesn't state that the point is not valid for an obtuse triangle....

Thank you Jannik, I am happy you liked my program. About the 120° thing, you're right - I have checked it measuring the sum in my program. In fact, an angle should be considered obtuse if it's wider than 90°, so my definition is not correct. Well, it is not my definition, I have just reported the wo...
