Can I ask you where we can make suggestion? I got a real great one.


Most of the time in code, we can have code that check for a specific value for exemple player direction.


That create a lot of IF.


Why not adding natively "select case" element. 


That will make all game so must easyller to programme.

So, uni started yesterday, and I'm finding it really hard to switch into study mode again.  I've got a test this Friday, and so far only have one of my four required textbooks.  Think I'll have to spend a day at the library each week until I can get the rest - lucky I live close by.  I ditched my science degree altogether (no more psychology - too much reading, too much writing) and am doing commerce - finance and accounting (lots of numbers - yay ).  Will finish in 2 1/2 years if I stick to a full time study load - 4 units / semester with 10 hours study each, plus 2 units over each of the summer terms.


And yesterday I got confirmation from my old boss that I can go back to work for the bank, but as a contractor rather than an employee.  Which means potentially full-time work for as long as they have projects that have budgets for outsourcing.


I know I did this (work full time, study full time, AND take my son out of school and homeschool him) for 18 months, 10 years ago.  I'm trying to remember how I managed it all, 'cause it's not looking as easy right now.


Scary, but exciting.  Those are the best experiences!

Shaz, I have been attempting to use your more escape codes mod, and so far I cannot seem to get it to work. My actors ID is 0102, I have tried \f[102] \f[0102] \f [102] \f [0102] \f102 \f0102 \f 102 and \f 0102 and nothing seems to get the actors face to show in the box. Your addon is on and I've tried it above and below each of my addon groups, but I cannot seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?

Remember that gorgeous cat I trapped when my dad decided to move house?  Finally could afford to get him to a vet today.  Had him desexed (was told by my nephew that he'd been desexed several years ago, but whatever he paid for, that's not what the vet did, 'cause in our vet's words, he had "massive testicles" when we took him in this morning), vaccinated, microchipped.  She also wanted to run a test for FIV (feline aids) seeing as he's been practically feral for 2 years.  Unfortunately it came back positive   He's also almost certainly been exposed to feline flu.  However, she said he's very strong and healthy, is amazed at what a lovely cat he is and how calm and friendly he is.  The aids and flu means he's going to be more prone to getting sick, and injuries are more likely to become infected.  He's going to need to looked after very carefully - lots of TLC.  His life expectancy is not reduced though, which was really nice to hear.  It also means our other two cats are at risk of getting both, so we now have to take them in for a series of vaccines to protect them against FIV, and there's nothing we can do to protect them against the flu.  Thankfully, he's such a calm and peaceful boy that even though they don't all 'like' each other yet, there have been no fights and no hints of fights.  So we hope they'll get on together and we won't have any cause for concern.  We are not going to try and rehome him now - we're just going to keep him here with us and he'll be a part of our family.  Which I wanted, but not for this reason.

Ah pooh!  The second and third assignments for my intro programming course are team projects!  I hate team projects, when everyone is doing the same thing.  Give me an artist and a musician and a designer and I'm fine, but 3 programmers is just overkill - especially when the other two are likely to have never seen a line of code in their lives   How do I say "please don't ask me to join your team unless you consider your abilities at least close to mine" without sounding like a complete jerk?

Think I figured out a nice, efficient way to determine what an autotile ID should be based on the surrounding tiles.  Tomorrow's task, if I have time, is to put my theory and settings to the test and see if I can actually autotile a map on the fly.

Woohoo!!!  Study assistance application - DONE!  Taxes - DONE!  Except my payment summary, which I'll forward through to the accountant as soon as it arrives.  Feels so good to have them taken care of.  And that means it's time to repeat my yearly mantra: I will stay up to date this year.  Though last year was my best one yet - only had to spend an hour or so going through everything and adding a few more items that I didn't document as they happened.  Now I have to see about getting some 'evidence of learning' done up for Zach's homeschooling over the coming week, and everything will be taken care of - just in time for me to start studying.


Can't believe the accountant charged $700 to fill in those two forms!  AND on both of them, in the "are you (me) the person we should contact if we have any questions about the business/trust?" he said NO and put the accountant details.  So if they want to ask anything about the company or trust, they can bypass me and go straight to the accountant, who can spend 15 minutes answering their questions and charge me a nice couple of hundred for the privilege.  I don't think so!  Crossed that out and said YES, you CAN contact me about it  Sneaky, sneaky accountant.  Wish I could go back to the days of doing it all myself.

We have such great landlords, but crappy agents as intermediaries.  There'd been a bit of work done, but the agents hadn't advised the owners that it had been completed.  So they came up this weekend to take a look and see if we wanted to talk about anything else with them.  We're going to plant out a lot of fruit trees over the next couple of months, so I mentioned it'd be nice to have a rainwater tank, so we could save on water charges when they start growing.  They'd planned to add one at some point anyway, as well as a garden shed.  So now they're going back home to look at prices and suppliers and start the ball rolling as soon as they get their taxes done in a few weeks.  Not only are they giving us a tank, but a pump to go with it, and a garden shed to house the pump, that could easily fit 2 cars!  When I mentioned it, I was thinking sometime over the next year or two, but the way they were talking, I wouldn't be surprised if they do it all in the next 2 or 3 months!  Had to pick myself up off the ground!

Hey, this script is unreadable:
 





Do you still have the raw around? Thanks in advance! I tried Jet's but, it's incompatible with Mog's menu.

i was told you have plugins for creating fog effects on maps for rpgmaker mv. i'm not having any luck making dust or fog appear on my map and i'm new to this stuff but self training to figure out how. where can i find this plugin to try out to see if it works better than galv's layer graphics plugin. cause that isn't working for me.

My application was accepted.  As of July 11, I'll be heading into 3 1/2 years of full time study with a Bachelor of Science majoring in maths and psychology.


And I still have to finish my game.  And maybe go back to my old job at the bank if they can get the CEO's okay.


Lotsa fun!

I graduated from uni in 1992, and ever since then, I've had this recurring dream that I had not graduated, because I hadn't completed Algebra & Calculus I and II.  Those units were never in my list of courses, but I dreamed that I was meant to do them, and that A&C I was so hard that I couldn't get past the first couple of weeks.  Now I may go back to uni, and guess what two units are in one of the degrees I'm interested in doing? 

Good morning forum!  I have my first cuppa in hand, which means very soon I'll be able to start posting stuff without looking like a complete idiot.  Gotta love that first cuppa.  And the second

I have an opportunity to go back to uni.  Debating whether to take it.  Tempted by Psychology as well as Mathematics and Statistics, for <reasons>, but they're each 12-unit degrees, which puts me over the limit for a double major.  I'd have to try and get credit for units I did 10 years ago (probably unlikely), or try and convince them to let me do 4 extra units.  Plus, just looked through the list of units for each one.  They look really hard

I'm not good at making battles interesting, and have been worried the whole development time about this.  In the wee hours this morning I woke up after dreaming that my mother (who is not computer savvy at all!) wanted me to make a game, which turned out to be more of a VN than an RPG, but it had battles and an overworld, and it was a really interesting mechanic - nothing spectacular or mind-blowing, just something I'd never seen or heard of before - and when I woke up I thought that'd be perfect to do in my game.  At the time I thought I should get up and write it all down so I wouldn't forget, but it's winter here and my bed was nice and warm, so I went back to sleep.  Naturally, I can now remember bits and pieces of it, but not what it was that made it so special. The bits that I do remember are not that much different to the default battle mechanic.


Should'a wrote it down

FINALLY I feel I give honor to tyvetty xD! 





okay I messup his hairs but shhhh~

Let's sign up, hang around the forum for a month, and then tell the moderators how to do their job.  Yeah, what could go wrong with that?


In other news, I so want my game to just be finished already, but it's been so long and the thought of figuring out where I left off is just scary.  An I want to rewrite it so I can redo all the scripts and make them better.  On the horns of a dilemma ...

I cut up onions for my son at lunchtime yesterday.  My hands still smell like onions

If you EVER register a domain name, pay the extra cost for WhoIs anonymity.  I didn't, based on not remembering to have ever been offered/accepted with my previous domains, and I'm regretting it big time.  Only a week, and I'm being flooded with emails from people who think I NEED to have their logos, web designs, mobile apps, and are all waiting for me to get back to them.  The best offer so far was for provision of full sample layouts and no payment required until I approved one.  I might be tempted, if I had spare cash.  But then spare cash might be better spent seeing if I can get that option I initially didn't take.
