From what I've read about Windows Custom Sounds, they're an absolutely terrible idea. Read this: When you use Resedit, reshack or similar tools to implement custom sounds by opening the .exe, you are not 'linking' these sounds to the .exe. You are placing them inside the .exe, in the Resource Section of the .exe, which is where data that isn't the main programming is stored, and is usually used for cursors, keyboard shortcuts, strings, sounds, dialogs, etc. That is, the only way to add custom sounds on Windows (that we have discovered yet) is by modifying the executable. If Spiderweb will distribute such scenarios, which ask the user to implement these sounds using Reshack/resedit, I'd be quite surprised. If Spiderweb will distribute such scenarios, which as the user to copy a supplied .exe to their BoA directory, I'd be amazed (and avoiding those scenarios. You do realise the BoA executable is positively huge in Windows?) -------------------- Apparently still annoying. Posts: 612 | Registered: Saturday, October 13 2001 07:00 |

First, it's not programming. It's scripting, which is a - higher-level - form of programming. Second, it's easy, especially if you've had experience with C-based languages, such as C, C++ and PHP. -------------------- Apparently still annoying.

It's too big. (Not that it takes too long to load.) Either make it so that the image appears left or right of the text instead of above, or change it back. :) Also, I reccomend you add some text saying 'When posting scripts, surround your code with [CODE] and [/CODE].'

I learned Mallard Basic first - on an old Amstrad machine where the entire unit was just the monitor - the CPU was in the monitor and such, and the floppy disk drive (different floppies from now) was alongside the side of the monitor. The most common cause of failure on the machine was the rubber band inside the floppy drive had snapped and needed replacing. And the monitor was only two-color - bright, cold green against black. One-color, even, if you don't count black. Anyway, yeah, I learned Mallard Basic first, but I still think C-Based languages are better. Yeah. End post. -------------------- Apparently still annoying.

In the VoDT Major Waste Repository, there are slopes created using stair terrain (in the editor). When I place stairs though, they show up as stairs. How can I make slopes? -------------------- Apparently still annoying. Posts: 612 | Registered: Saturday, October 13 2001 07:00 |
