Msgboard Chatroom Marathon
Sunday, January 27, 2002 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
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 *raspberry* *giggles*
flattery like that will get you an entry in my new plugin!

i am trying to work out how a "spanks and hugs calculator" DX plugin would work
anyone with suggestions feel free to post them here 
MadIce, with regard to the SET_TEXT games with DX, last night i wrote the ultimate debug tool for DX plugins!
the function:
feline_diary(char *pszText, ...)
takes a printf argument list, then simply appends the text to a file

basic, but this is how i debug all my programs at work, since we don't really have any fancy debug tools.
so, after scattering some feline_diary calls through my plugin, i satisfied myself that given i have no examples to work from, my plugin was written correctly

this morning i found there is a new DX build to try! i downloaded it, and now my plugin works!!!

now "all" i need to do is to wrap up this plugin, and the first version will be ready

which does raise an interesting question. what is the policy on getting DX plugin's vetted before uploading them here? most of the code isn't mine, since i used one of the sample plugin's as a template.
also, since i have been promoted to the heady heights of Journeyman, my uploads will be automatically approved. feline doesn't want to be seen to be abusing this
so, anyone know which Admin i should get to review my plugin once i have polished it a bit?

feline *sigh*
like MadIce and fuzzy logic, i am a long way from there
feline wonders if they have a website?
at lease we could see pictures of the models

actually, this has inspired me!

feline is planning on a life size chocolate statue, showing "dance in motion"
so, all i need are some people who can dance to help...
fuzzy logic and JavaBean sound ideal!

all i need is for them to strike a nice pose, then i can cover them in chocolate!!!

I am using the same technique for years. Mine is called Debug(). And I also have a function called SetDebugLevel() and SupportsDebugLevel() so you can write code like:
if(SupportsDebugLevel(debug_medium)) StealFelinesLeetCode();
It accepts an enum {debug_Off,debug_Minimum,debug_Medium,debug_Maximum};
You can also write macros to ensure such code is never run in a release build.

Party!

If it is based on the sample plugin then don't worry. It was intended for that purpose, OK?

Mr Journeyman, I would suggest you ask some people you know here to test it on various flavors of Windows. Ask the testers to make a skin for it. A lot of people enjoy doing that. You'll see. Then when everyone is satisfied upload it. You are the Journeyman, so T-man & the Admins will trust your judgement. If you cannot find enough testers here then try IRC.

If I'm going to help you do realize the chocolate statue would end up with nibble marks...

No, we are not going for it from this far out. The last one was 100+ posts in less than an hour. Maybe tomorrow...Reply #8896 Wednesday, June 4, 2003 11:37 AM

A couple of weeks for me to reach 11 years - aaaagh! You'd get a shorter sentence for murder

Way to hang in there KarmaGirl!!!
I have heard and seen a very small portion of what you do and what you have to put up with. The fact that you are still here is a testament to your work ethic. I hope you feel very good about this accomplishment. Your parents should be proud too
