The problem is that you have too much rap. Wipe the directory and replace it with techno, stat!

...Or check the filename, maybe rename it. Some unprintable characters might have got in somehow.

M$ can just change the string and recompile, and there ya go. With the binary, it's more difficult. You could try it, but keep a backup.

I also have lsass.exe doing pretty much constant writes to the HD (the light doesn't come on, but the IO Writes and IO Write Bytes keep going up), but I don't have that folder. Perhaps the program's bugged out?
I know you can't kill the task in the Windoze task manager, but try it in DOS's (tasklist and taskkill).
Hmm, Google doesn't mention the folder at all...

My guess is that you accidentally hit some key combo that threw in an invisible character. Just renaming it to the same thing would get rid of it.
Personally I can't stand rap, but that's off topic. May as well close this, actually.

That's a pretty damn good theory. I have a similar one, actually.
I wish I would get more of those, and not always wake up. When I do, it's always close to when I'd normally wake up, so I figure it's just the logic area waking up early.
I have had flying dreams, which were quite sweet even if I couldn't control them. (The most memorable, I believe I did know was a dream, but didn't realize what that actually meant.)

Posted on 10-01-04 01:44 AM, in I've got this recurring nightmare where I get permabanned from here. Link
I once dreamed that I was in a big hotel room (similar to a house I used to live in) with some of the admins here. There were 3 of them, I think Colleen and Yiffy Kitten were two and I don't remember the third. (Why those two? Beats me. ) I don't know what they actually looked like, but the room was two floors, with a hot tub, and made of solid gold. I was going to use the hot tub but it was full of gold coins. Nobody seemed to notice (maybe we were all billionares ), we just browsed the board, each on our own computers. Eventually, someone (not sure who) told me, since I was the only one downstairs, that dinner was ready. I called to the rest of the guys, but they didn't hear me, so I messaged them with Net Send.

The idea is that you tell the emulator how to tell when the game is changing tracks, and the emu tells Winamp to do the same. However, you'd need to know how to tell with each game.

It'll be smaller when you butcher it up, believe me. Right now it's a screenshot of a full layout, later on in the code you'll have like 1px wide and maybe 12px high images that will repeat. Stuff like that. But yeah, 274kb is too big.

Er, what do you mean? I wasn't planning to put in any tiny repeating images.


I also would recommend you to keep the layout width to a max of 600 width (that ofcourse, can stretch sideways for more coverage if people have higher res). That way, it fits better for smaller resolutions.

Yeah, I was trying to do that, but then I'd need to nuke the entire right side or have a really tiny text field. Then not only would it be crowded, but I'd have to get rid of the links. So I tried to keep it as close to 600 as possible.
The big black part at the side is empty space. I couldn't think of a way to fill it up while still being compatible with low resolutions. (But I just did think of a way, and did it. I've re-uploaded the pic.)

Now, after some conversions... *Converts some pics to PNG, wherever it helps the size*

Total file size: 201K. However, if I remove the images responsible for filling in the black spots (one uses a bg colour, not an image), it drops to 98.6K. So what's the vote? Should I keep the black spot and leave it at a small size? Sacrifice bandwidth for looks and fill in the empty space? Or is it too much either way?

BTW, interesting side note: See that gradient in the top right? 454 bytes as PNG, width of 29 pixels. Guess how much if I shrink it to 1 pixel wide? 454 bytes. Gotta love compression!

Also I still need to know how to fix the FREAKING BLACK LINES!

I thought I should make a separate poll for this, instead of just a thread that's not specifically about this question. (I put it here so more people will see it, and because it's not as much about art.) To sum it up, if I leave it the way it is, it adds up to 201K of images. If I take out the images to the right, it's only 98K but then there's a big empty spot on higher resolutions that looks ugly. So I'm wondering if people think it's worth the extra bandwidth to keep those space-filler images, if they can live with a big empty spot for the much smaller size, if even that's too big, or if anyone has other suggestions (in particular how to make the images smaller - I've tried JPG and PNG). BTW the empty blue spot to the right of the links is actually a cell with a solid BG colour, not an image.

Thanks! Have 25 bucks. (I still get one next to the links though, probably because it's using a BG colour instead of an image. Easy enough to fix, I suppose.)

And no, no Ranma sprites this time.

Er, the idea of 'Something Else' is that you post your suggestion.
I'd like to find a better way to fix it, but I'm not seeing much in options... Would it look crappy if I changed that portion of the BG to solid water and made it a really thin image?

Sounds like "Lappy 4015" is pretty sad already. Why would you even have layouts enabled with such a slow system? (BTW, someone who uses a font that he knows doesn't work in Mozilla, which isn't exactly some obscure POS that nobody uses, isn't really in a position to be complaining about the size of the images people use. )

+1 point for interesting take on EXP bar.

I was gonna have him grab coins as he went along, but I figured why use the extra bandwidth and drawing time for something so unnecessary?


-2 points for using a bad GIF (top-left)

There's no GIFs in this picture other than Shippo. The Inuyasha logo is part of the top, which is a poorly-encoded JPEG. Making it a better quality would make it bigger, and it's big enough.


-1 point for using image maps where text works fine

Sure, it'd be great if every browser on every system had every font and drew them at the exact same size. In the real world, things don't work like that, and if I used text, it would more than likely break/look ugly in a lot of cases. Plus, I'd need to use some sort of crazy div setup to get the text in the right place.


-1 point for white-on-cyan text. Die.

It was good enough for Nintendo's quality control in one of the best games ever (Yoshi's Island, if you can't tell), and I don't see any problems myself.


-5 points for likely using >=50kB in a layout

Yeah, it would be nice if things worked like that. I have a slow connection, so nobody should be allowed to use big images. Too bad the world isn't like that, and just because your computer sucks doesn't mean people are going to strip everything down to meet its specifications.


+1 bonus point for using tables. Whoo.

Hey, why complicate it?


Ow.

Watch where you sit, man.

Posted on 10-03-04 07:34 AM, in VB - Scrollbar with bigger values? Link
Well I found out that the Scrollbar objects in VB can only have values from 0-32767. I need one that goes 0-65535, how can I do that?
