When i clicked on this, i thought this was about the video game  :P

Well, I heard yesterday on the news that it actually is a meltdown and even the japanese gouvernements admits that.
Well on the other hand this is really overcovered by german media here. And there's quite a hysteria too. No politician who wants to get any votes can say anything but "lets turn off every nuke we have as soon as possible" even if you know they have acompletely different opinion its quite a farce.
What I dont like about tihs discussion is that the people in japan still have much bigger problems. Think about the tens of thousands who lost their home or relatives. That gets overshadowed by that plant.
On the other hand - they have to get this situation under control - Japan is not big enough to survive a tchernobyl kind of accient (whic i know is still very unlikely)

Sorry Duals, your animations aren't done yet. That lazy Ouxxey just won't do them.

Would be nice yes, I gave up trying to make it run.
Well actually a GF HD remake doesnt seem that unlikely. They just would have to re-render the scenes in hires - give the models some better textures'n stuff  - and better controls would be nice too - that way GF could compete with most modern advenutres.

I've seen the trailer and I've seen 300 and Watchmen (didn't like either).
Snyder is probably the most overrated director out there. Especially 300 left a very bad taste in my mouth. These movies are like very bad fast food. He puts all the tasty ingredients in there, violence, hot chicks plenty of explosions and over the top SFX but this alone doesn't make a good movie - after seeing it you're still hungry (except watchmen which was way too long). This movie seems to be so full of all these ingredients that there wont be much more room for anything else.
And, call me a moralist but both, the girls (which are still supposed to be children if i got it right) in their very sexual suggestive outfits and the trivialization of nazis seem to be very dubious choices to make a buck.

It really works great - this is a great piece of software which makes it so much easier to load and keept track of your ags games.
Only complaint: Why aren't my games on there?
#146
The game about Gandhi also got more criticism  ::)
#147
My condolences too, Snake

Does black screen mean you dont get anything - not even the bios startup screen? if so do you get some beeping at least?

Well if its really broken you could disassemble the laptop and get out the hdd, buy an adapter to connect it to a desktop pc to save the data.

Dear Esther, was epic. A perfect example for interactive art. now that the remake is coming i cant wait.

I did some modding way back in the HL1 days and some tests with hl2. It is easy to use but the coding with all the entities gets very confusing with complex things. And if you need more functionality it means going right to the source (no pun intended).
#150
what do you mean by "ends"?
Are you still doing it for ...x+20... and x-20...
#151
Oh and for textures: http://www.cgtextures.com/ you have to register and theres a daily download limit but apart from that its free and texts are nice

Here are some freeware texture tools:
http://www.bricksntiles.com/ - For walls and stuff
http://www.mapzoneeditor.com  - Very powerful but also very...confusing

The BGs are pretty good you definitely know your way around in vue. I'd be interested to see how the character sprites will fit in there. You should at least render them in vue too - it looks so much better than the poser render.
#153
Very nice theo, these dev blogs are always very insightful for me.
#154
Is this a scolling room? bacause if it is you would have to put:
(GetWalkableAreaAt(cEgo.x.GetViewportX() - 40, cEgo.y-GetViewportY() + 20) == 0){
#155
Awesome stuff anian! I like it a lot. Hopefully people will use this more in future.

I think EVERYONE will be able to do good looking BGs in sketchup using the available ressources!
I really mean everyone, maybe not as good looking as these, but at least a lot better than you could do with paint!!
#156
The biggest problem with the "pioneer" version. Is, that it adds a logo to all renders. You at least need the render up package which is 69$

Well I'm sure there are ways to get a similar quality with freeware tools

Ouxxey,  what exactly are you trying to do? Im sure there is a workaround somehow
#159
Well i could post that - but can't you look it up in the help file, like i have to do?

Frame property (character)
(Formerly known as character[].frame, which is now obsolete)

int Character.Frame

Gets/sets the character's current frame number. Usually you won't change this directly, but will use the Animate command to play an animation.
Example:

Display("EGO currently using frame %d.", cEgo.Frame);

displays EGO's current frame number within his view.

You'd have to make sure - both have the same loop and view
You can do that automatically with some coding

However...
You could just run all you normal animate and lock view functions twice for both characters and make the first one non blocking . could work too.

Totally agree, there are so much things that can go wrong. To be honest it gives me nightmares - even when you get some nice results you always have the feeling you barely made it.

Anyway this really extends poser capabilities cause its easy to make clothes:
http://www.marvelousdesigner.com/
well its overpriced and seems unfinished but still a cool approach. I'd succeed in doing dynamic clothes - try to do conforming - if you dare.
