it makes me think of...Crocodile Hunter. "ohh, she's a beaut, ain't she?" | |||

print-screen doesn't work whenever I tried it. if you hit the key, then paste it into paint (or any other image editor), the part where the DVD screen was becomes... nothing! transparent outside of the context of the image itself. disabling hardware acceleration in WMP doesn't help. I'm with kazooie on this one. I'd like such a program too. the DeCSS source is floating around on the internet, so I figure someone's made a DVD-playing application by now. |

it's not like your financial future depends on the outcome of this hack. just do it, if only for two things:
as for Red Dwarf, I've heard of it and seen a couple episodes of it and rather liked it, although I haven't watched it in a while. I wouldn't play a RD Pokémon hack, but then again I wouldn't play any Pokémon hack. |

to answer your question: yes, I reckon someone does know about it. | |||

I'll assume that:
<?php the Content-Length line is not necessary; it's just a nicety. the Content-Type line, however, is required.anyhow, all it does is figures out whether the user is online, and outputs either 'online.png' or 'offline.png' (as the document content) accordingly. if you want to use .jpg images instead of .png, just change the Content-Type line to image/jpeg instead of image/png HTH |

using VB? for one, I assume elric's server does not support ASP, and even if it did, that's way too complicated a solution. the board automatically records the last time you were online (meaning, you viewed a page while signed in). the board uses Unix-style timestamps (which is the number of seconds since 01/01/1970 00:00 UTC), so: if ($TimeUserWasLastOnline > time() - 3600) where 3600 = how long you want a user to be considered "online", in seconds (which in this case means one hour). as for PNGs, that's a problem with the program you're using, not the PNG format itself. I can think of two ways to add binary (either 100% opaque or 100% transparent) transparency to an RGB image:
I found this program a while back, and have found it to be helpful. to do the second method (assigning one color as transparent), do this:
...now, whether that will work in Internet Explorer or not, I don't know; I doubt that it will. alternately, you can try this, using the same program:
again, hope this helps. (edited by Vystrix Nexoth on 04-25-04 01:59 PM) |

(just thought I'd throw this out there) don't know much about DVD burners or software that does it, but the problem you describe sounds like you're trying to play an anamorphic DVD on a 4x3 television but your DVD player thinks you're using a 16x9 television. if this is indeed the case, simply adjust your DVD player settings. failing that, follow Yiffy Kitten's advice. |

this page shows how to create a sequence of still images from a flash sequence. from those, you can create a video file. the above page is part of the documentation for a program called "Quake Video Maker", but you don't need Quake to use it to make video sequences. in fact it should work for what you're doing, using the method described in the first page I linked to. try it. |

the first one makes me think of a cave or dungeon or something. the second one is like lizardking said, or perhaps as an ending theme. | |||

mask == alpha channel anyhow, what you do is allocate a transparent color, but without actually making it transparent in photoshop. just have it be a plain old 256-color image, no transparency or anything. save it. then, open it in TweakPNG and define that color as being transparent, yourself, as described in my previous post. and I assumed you were making this for an AcmlmBoard; I don't know what format phpBB uses to record a user's online status, so I can't help you there (although if it uses unix timestamps like AB does, then the basic method is the same). |

4. have the system (message board, etc) keep track of the last time you were online (which, for example, AB already does). when you go to check if a user is online, compare that time to the current time. much simpler, less klugy, is accurate to within one second, unlike the other methods which are accurate only to within 20 minutes (or however frequently the scripts are run), and
as for the header() suggestion, it did occur to me, however, having different results returned in the same file creates a canonical name for online status. but using such a method by no means means that you do not "have to program"!
I'd rather use the pass-through method myself, but the redirection method would be: <php by no means perfect code (technically, it is in violation of HTTP spec by giving relative URIs in the Location: fields) but it should work in most cases. |

I don't even use e-mail anymore unless compelled to (such as to sign up for something), and I've gotten very few pop-ups since I ditched IE a couple years ago. it's not even an issue anymore, with me anyway. (edited by Vystrix Nexoth on 04-29-04 04:46 PM) |

this sounds pretty impressive. can't wait to get my hands on it. | |||

allow me for a moment to indulge myself in another Generic Poll/Survey | |||

#10 is Final Fantasy. now quit bugging us about it on IRC. | |||

yeah. that one's more insulting than funny. I'm sure prepubescent AOLers will get a kick out of it, though. | |||

what's that got to do with Help/Suggestions for the board? (here's a hint: nothing). as for the problem at hand, I'm not real familiar with XP. however, you could always try right-clicking on a folder and seeing if anything looks relevant, and if not, try 'properties' and look in there. no guarantees, though. |

45. increased character/weapon/magic/item name lengths, some graphics changes (copied-and-pasted-from-other-FF-games battle backgrounds, a BG battle window that's extended so the characters and enemies are in the same window, etc), and just general improvements/enhancements. 48. venturing a guess here... Golden Sword? (the most-spiffitated version of the master sword) (edited by Vystrix Nexoth on 05-05-04 10:44 PM) |
