Thx folks, will try.

Awesome teaser trailer!!! Post that stuff on MODDB 😄

You have no idea how much time I’ve wasted trying to make string tables work 😛

Nice tool man, I could definitely see this being backported into FLDev eventually 😄

I was wondering if it was possible to somehow tweak the ship purchase restriction part of playercontrol to do the inverse?

Instead of requiring a good to purchase a ship, you need a ship to purchase a good.

It seems really very simple, but I haven’t the foggiest on how to actually achieve it, having zero knowledge on the code used (or even what to edit).

Thanks for your time.

Many thanks FF, that did the trick.

And so to finally lay this whole issue to rest, I have discovered the follow after speaking to a colleague at work who mentioned VirtualBox, XP and host time synchronisation don’t work well.

Disable host to guest time sync and the problem goes away:

on linux:
vboxmanage setextradata <vmname>“VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled” “1”

on a windows host:
vboxmanage setextradata <vmname>VBoxInternal/Devices/VMMDev/0/Config/GetHostTimeDisabled 1

Replace <vmname>with the name of your vm.

Crappy VirtualBox and crappy windows :)</vmname></vmname></vmname>

Sorry for bothering you Cannon, but how is it going?

Nice!

What results did the method bring that we have been using at HC? (I think FF or somebody else gave it to you).

Here’s a chance to get anything you want from the Tech Center, in case it goes off permanently next time.

I’ll need a lot of help though, but yes I’m keen! 🙂

I realise now that the same algorithm is used to generate charfile names and thus adoxa’s comment regarding lengths makes sense.

Here’s the revised function for both account IDs and charnames to directory or file name.

A bit of a grave dig, but I was wondering if anybody knows the location of the function for handling the release of input.

From what I can tell, any key defined inside of keymap.ini with a state of “keydown, keyup” will only fire an event in the above function for the initial keydown state. This is great for intercepting calls, but sometimes I want to supress the cancelation.

If you change the structure of particularly popular entries (like the one w0d pointed to), it might be a good idea to leave redirection pages so as not to lose ranking on search engines.

Otherwise, just go for it. The wiki was built so the community could make it as good as it can be 😉

When in the settings tab of the repository, you can click on “Delete” on the right bottom corner. I just did that for you. Should be created within the next hour.

Edit the .cfg file manually (it’s text document)

Great stuff ! THX ! 🙂

The new features are very useful.

there it is http://www.the-starport.net/archive

🙂

I think its a good idea 🙂
It also somewhat protects from people editing the .ini too much. Maybe we could also put the rest into such an interface function, like exported (hooked) functions and their priority, and so on.
