Msgboard Chatroom Marathon
Sunday, January 27, 2002 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Honestly, I would go to IRC for this kind of stuff, but if any of you have been there recently, everyone seems to be...inactive. Sooooooooo, out of boredom, I'm turning a thread among this msgboard into a chat room, anyone care to join? =P.
It's Sunday night, and I'm bored out of my mind. There's much to do, but I'm too lazy to get around to do it. My boyfriend is busying trying to get Visual Studios to work so I can't talk to him on the phone....and we can't seem to talk over the phone anyways...it'll just be silence mostly.
New Semester started........so anyone alive out there to join Elffie in this chat marathon? =P
Let's try not to let this post hang for over 2 hours, hm? =P

Feline:
"MadIce, are you the same MadIce i remember from the SD newsgroups who wrote DX plugin's?"
I am him. I wrote WBamp, DXPlayer and KLPlayer. And I also wrote ObjectMedia.
"if so, i was wondering, on a scale of 1 to 10, how hard is it to write a DX plugin? "
The complexity of writing a DX/OB plugin depends on what you want to write. A command plugin is simple to do. Displaying a counter as text is simpler than writing something that needs to be drawn. A good knowledge of the Windows API helps. Writing stable plugins seems to be a problem for a lot of plugin authors. Debugging a plugin is very, very hard. On a scale of 1 to 10, I think writing a plugin is 7 or higher.
Getting help when writing a plugin can be hard too. Not many coders have written a plugin. So there is no "community" of plugin writers (yet) and coders are often busy creatures and therefore do not have much time on their hands.
There is a C header file and there is a document available describing the plugin interface. You can contact Stardock if you want to get those.
MadIce kicks his compiler and runs off to buy some more chocolade slagroom vla...

Buy some for me, too, OK?
Hmmmm...If this works right, I should be able to put a picture in here...

MadIce is thinking about that.
It would be great to have a Feline Inline/Outline plugin for CursorXP. But that is very hard to do.
MadIce could not find a way to press the buttons on the cursors.

Maybe you need a dual mouse for the feline inline/outline plugin....

I don't know that you really want to CURSE him! Usually a good tickling and an extra feeding of chocolate works for the 'get feline in-line mode' but to be fully operational, we need something much more powerful!

MadIce - I am him. I wrote WBamp, DXPlayer and KLPlayer. And I also wrote ObjectMedia.
feline considers bowing before a master of his art
on reflection, how about i let you help me spank JavaBean for showing off again instead? *giggles*
MadIce - The complexity of writing a DX/OB plugin depends on what you want to write.
feline considers not having this discussion here
then again, it will help raise the social standing of this thread, by showing that we can discuss topics besides chocolate, tickles, and turning programmers into a hunger laser
my initial plan is to have a plugin that simply displays and updates a simple string of text
MadIce - A good knowledge of the Windows API helps.
i was hoping you weren't going to say that
since plan A failed, i am hoping that Qt (a wrapper around quite a lot of windows API's) will handle that well enough for me.
MadIce - Writing stable plugins seems to be a problem for a lot of plugin authors. Debugging a plugin is very, very hard. On a scale of 1 to 10, I think writing a plugin is 7 or higher.
feline considers pointing out that writing stable programs seems to be very hard
the things seem to find the most devious ways of going wrong!

i sort of noticed the lack of community, but i had hoped i was looking in the wrong place. i found the stardock DX page with the plugin .h and doc file on it, and it had a link to a couple of news groups.
after an initial glance at the newsgroups, they don't seem all that full of plugin authors i did see your name around a lot which was reassuring
i was to tired last night to look at the doc and .h, but i got the impression it expected you to know something about windows programming.
ah well, not knowing anything about what i am doing when i start is normal it will make the accomplishment when i get it to work all the greater!
feline finds being an egomaniac a great help at times like this
MadIce kicks his compiler and runs off to buy some more chocolade slagroom vla...
feline wonders what would happen if some naughty individual were to strip GM naked, cover her in lots of chocolate slagroom vla, and leave her lying around where MadIce is bound to find her?
feline feels an experiment coming on
now, how to keep fuzzy off the chocolate long enough for MadIce to reappear...

all right, why has red text suddenly broken??? 
however, looking on the bright side, this sounds like a reasonable time to try out my new emergency method of contacting stardock support!
feline grabs a couple of soft chocolate spanking paddles and goes looking for JavaBean!
