Thanks Chrille, I'll give it a try

I haven't played it since i started but I have version TUMv1.exe but I can download the latest version, since it's a new month.

thanks for the info ratracer

is it using maybe FollowCharacterEx and have another character that you swap the forward and backward states, but I'm not sure if follow character can place the character where you want, I'll have to have a play around with it.

am I totally off the track? a point in the right direction would be nice, thanks

This game is great as I've mentioned before,

Just a question though Chrille, With the mirror effect, is there a plugin or something for this or is it just scripting?

I need to use a mirror in my current game and noticed that atleast it is possible to do.

Lucky I read the text cause without looking too close to the screen, I thought they were little Mr Hankeys

Homer has too many good lines, but I just thought of a good Otto one.

He walks into a pot store:  "Man, that's false advertising"

something like that anyway

I was just watching tv and the 300th episode is on tuesday in Aus, I don't know if it has been on before, is it a realatively new one?

Thanks CJ

I worked it out, but it was frustrating me for hours.

(Font colour in a text window after using a Display("")

I had made my own text window GUI and I couldn't find in the manual or in the forums how to change the font colour.

As it turns out you change it by setting the foreground, I guess text is in the foreground but from the image it looks like it's refering to the outline of the text box (which it is in the other gui's)

It's just a strange thing that bugged me, maybe this should be a little clearer, or atleast mentioned in the manual when searching for font or text colour.

looks excellent

welcome aboard

My boss just rang me up and has some more work for me before we close, but that just delays me having a holiday that I had just started planning.

oh well, it just means I'll have some more money to spend.

I've worked as a cleaner before when I was straight out of school, got a bit tedious but it wasn't that bad, I've worked as a courier, and that was actually quite fun.

I also worked for the government as a THC tester
or was that something else?

Now my company just closed down for a couple of months, they have to find a new premesis, and set up again before I can work there, so it looks like I'm going to have to find a new job.

I can never find a good job, and when I find one I actually like and don't mind going in every day, they fuck you over, it might come good later this year, but I'm not waiting around for 3 months to find out.

Atleast it gives me some time to work on my game fulltime for a little while, maybe I should take a holiday

LSL3 Aug-Dec 2003

probably closer to the later, I hope anyway

It's coming along nicely

I thought it was a dead fly in the kitchen

I made mine up, nobody calls me Timosity in real life, just Tim.

but on the topic of hotmail, I got "timdo" cause timbo was taken (plus my last name is Doherty)

got it a long time ago when hotmail wasn't huge

but I never use it seeing as it is spam fucked, probably a longer email name gets less spam, but who knows

I finished it in 22 minutes, that was no challenge.

btw is it actually a game? I haven't bothered to download it cause I thought it was just a joke.

As far as speeding goes, around where I live a couple of years ago, they change the speed limit from 60 km/h to 50 km/h, this is in residential areas that aren't main roads.

The reason behind was the difference of stopping distances ie save lives of kids running onto the road to get a ball etc.

outside schools the limit is 40 km/h during school hours.


The ideas of reducing the speed are justified but what happens when you have these laws for a few years people then say.

Well look at the stopping distance if you reduce it another 10 km/h.

if it kept going that way, it would eventually be quicker to walk around.

people just need to think more when they are driving, that is the main problem, it should just be obvious to drive a bit slower when there are many children on the side of the road coming out of a school.

or in a residential area when anyone could just run out from behind a car etc.

When it's pissing down with rain, or foggy, drive a bit slower, it's just common sense.

If you've had a few beers, get a taxi, or walk, or just stay and drink some more.

These laws are in place for safety mainly but it's usually young men between 17 - 30 that screw it up for everyone, everyone thinks they're the best driver, but they're all wrong, cause it's me.

OK I got it to work using a GUI

The shakescreen isn't really that much of a problem but it would be good if there was a way to adjust the length of time of a shake for say, just a bump, not an earthquake, not even a tremmor.

I haven't tried that, but what I want is less time than the normal shakescreen, and also have a message box on the screen while it shakes.

It could be possible to instead have a gui that looks like a message box brought up on the screen and just put up with a longer shake, that might work.

True, it's really annoying when you hear fools saying people can't be rehabilitated.

Saying once a cheat always a cheat

and people can't change.

It's all bullshit tactics to keep so called "indecent folk" out of the way of the socalled "decent folk" (who are just indecent folk in disguise)

prison is probably the worst place to get rehabilitated too.

but where do you draw the line on crimes and who has the right to make even that decision.

We could decriminalise murder. If we live in a free world (that's what western civilisation is trying to do, unsuccessfully) why not have the right to murder who ever we like. It's just the theory of Relativity, knife goes in, guts come out. every action has an equal but opposite reaction, so by that theory killing people must create more room for others. creating more people will kill others, so killing is a natural part of life.

In war It's murder as well, why isn't GWBush sent to gaol for planning to murder 1000's of people.

If you order a hit on someone you can go to gaol for it, what's the difference? there is none, it's just large scale organised crime, If anything it is much worse and may satan sodomise Bush for eternity.

People can change, I know I have in my life, so to sum it all up blatent ignorance of people outside the "norm" is the biggest flaw in the worlds society
