Replacing UNIDs with hashable strings

Hello, Myself, digdug, PKodon, Avan, and others were just discussing replacing the static unid tables with string hashtables in the engine, so that we don't have to hand handle lots of long hex numbers all the time. Hash lookups are likely fast enough at this point to be a viable alternative, and we...

Re: This November...

Please refrain from overusing colored fonts. Also, your signature graphic is far too large and and the vertical space used by the image and lines combined is also far too large. I can't seem to find the actual rules for these at the moment so I'll leave that to the moderators. The Bulleted List Feat...

Re: Transcendence Steam Group

I made RPC an admin or whatever too after I figured out how, and even set us up a profile with a avatar and stuff aftere I found something that's still even sorta recognizable at 32pixels while also looking nice large and still being in-game image.

Re: Sounds, sounds, oh the pretty sounds...

All trans needs is a wav file, or possibly mp3 or ogg, sitting around. You create a <Sound> entity for it just like you create and <Image> entity for your jpg or bmp files. I don't think there's much more to it. I'm not sure if T has any requirements on sample rate or channels, though you could chec...

Re: Sounds, sounds, oh the pretty sounds...

The biggest problem re: sound samples is that the provided weapon soudns have no oomph behind them that you would want for big, slow firing howitzer type weapons. The kinetic lick reaaaaaly dosen't suit those weapons :3. Freesoundproject is good for samples like that, tis is something I found search...

Re: Aeonic's Ship Gallery

Dude, this is a debate that ended years ago and the person you're addressing isn't even here anymore. Also the ships that you posted images of isn't even the one that was being called phallic in this thread.

Re: problems with wine

Huh, that's odd. Trans uses fairly old API, so it's strange that switching to a NEWER OS fixed it, but whatever works :D.

Re: problems with wine

Umm, that does sound like missing dependancies / shared libraries. Trans comes with everything it needs on the windows side, so probably linux stuff. I don't know anything about mint, but if you have a package manager like apt or rpm or whatever, see if you can fetch packages with names like what it...

Re: Steam Greenlight

I haven't actually looked into this, but uh, you need to win the lottery to be distributed on steam as an independant now? I thought you could just go do it. Will need to read up on it sometime. Also, with the multiverse underway, steam isn't going to offer us much of anything except more users. And...

Re: Rendering in Blender woes

We got this worked out over IRC, looks like the problems were (a) not actually having smooth faces set (got it working with smooth faces and the edgesplit modifier, since I don't even know how to make autosmooth work :D), (b) blender 263's multi-sample sun light w/ adaptive QMC dosen't seem to cast ...

Re: ShpFireWeapon

You can't do repeat rate with an enum of for loop because the code dosen't run asyncronously. All shots from one loop will fire on the same game frame anyway. You'd have to make a temporary timer event that created a new shot every frame or something. You might be able to make a alternate version of...

Re: Why append shouldn't be called append

Why append shouldn't be called append

I suggested calling it Join in http://wiki.neurohack.com/transcendence/trac/ticket/858 and now I'm remembering to get around to making a discussion thread thing about it.

So, um, discuss.
