Problem - "IDS?"
-
Sure, if you’d like to write the docs, I’ll update the zips. I just feel that for these basic utilities, the normal help screen is enough. But as you point out, only for those that know to use the command line.
Learning assembly was just a natural progression, since that was basically the only choice after BASIC. I did have a Pascal compiler, but it produced 10K programs at a minimum, which is quite a lot when you have to load it from tape. All the editors I used were line-based, glad those days are over. When I first saw Turbo Pascal’s syntax highlighting, I was so impressed, I managed to do it for BASIC listings. One of the most useful things I ever wrote. Had a few type-ins published (one in an Aus mag and three in two UK mags).

Cool.
I don’t envy you doing the type-in assembly work but, on the other hand, you developed an awesome set of skills from having done it.
Here is a DLL-building Tutorial for the people who do not already have a C++ compiler:
How to Compile a .DLL from a .RC Script
I think that StarTrader was just kidding about not knowing how to run a console app. If there is real interest, I could make a tutorial on that, as well. However, I assume that most modders already know the basics of how to use their computers.

Needs a nice post to balance that “last” one…
My 1st PC… if you could call it that, was a Oric 16k… i still have her
& the manual & program book (i spent 6 days coding space invaders only to mess it at the end when i went to load it down to my tapedrive… dam…) thing had the strangest keyboard you’ll ever see… more like today’s pda raised keys than an actual keyboard… fun times.But yepers… even those that are quite good at scanning code & learning therefrom need a quick guide every now and then as to what does what for that, n, stuff
If anything it helps more on the “foggy” days when i just aint at 100%. -

I posted a tutorial with screenshots, offered to make another tutorial, complemented adoxa, and StarTrader already said that he was kidding.
This entire thread has been “nice”! Sorry if the jokes don’t always translate properly… I have found humor to be the most difficult thing to understand in other languages.

So I obviously have no clue what “last post” you are talking about, but thank you for your “clarification”.
I think…
:S

CynicalRaver - You did What? You sucked a donkey’s appendage???!!! Is this a regular thing you do?
Well I know I wouldn’t be telling anyone if I had.
Care to translate?

LOL
No…
Im just saying would blow if you stopped FL stuff.
Who would i bother with my noobish questions?
FriendlyFire? - Prob ban meGypsy

Yeh, he came close to banning me!
-
Btw - is there anyway to replace this “IDS?” by “Unknown” for example?
Theoreticaly when the number is wrong for ids_info for example it must be = null? -
Oh thx! Searched IDS? but it is “I D S ?”. Huh.
