General discussion

Yeah no you dont want to stick the paper ones in water. Have come across these fabric mesh ones before that can simply be soaked.

 

I will try to get a picture today.
I just need to wait untill it's done rendering a little thing, still has 2 hours left on it.
By then it's 11PM here in Germany, so I might just sleep by then, but, like I said, I'll try to get a picture today.

 

You don't need to turn it off, just open the side panel and take a picture.

 

no more haxing

 

Bt i nud hax0ring 2 b gud.

But really, it was a VAC error that I can't seem to fix. Valve needs to fix that, because I've done everything, I even made an exception for it in my firewall.

Perhaps I should open a specific port for it, I'll try that when I get home. Speaking of home...

After about 3 and a half hours, I'm on my way home. Apperently I have some light scratching in my bronchial tubes because of the dust. A couple weeks and a special inhaler should clear it up, just in time for marching band to start.

 

So, I ended up taking it off of my desk anyways.
I have a 3 minute video where I talk about how I found a way to get to the screw (yay!) and some other stuff.
Only problem is that my sound is sort of gone (not in the video, on the PC )
I'll try to reboot it and if everything works then I'll upload it.
Also, once I post the video here, don't say anything about the video quality or my voice.
I know that both of these things are absolutely terrible and might make your eyes and/or ears bleed.

--edit--
Also please excuse the stupid "accent" that I talk in.
It's just the way I speak English and I know that it sounds stupid.
Anyways, uploading right now, 22 minutes left apperently.
Also, I fixed the sound problem.

--edit2--

here it is :

 

Your English is quite good, considering it isn't your mother tongue.

 

So even after driving around town I haven't seen anything better than a full 2g signal on my phone. According to Tmo my whole town has 4g coverage. What gives.

 

Remember:

No dying while at attention.

 

Yep. I've had 11 hours of band every day since last monday. In 90+ weather and alabama humidity. whoo hoo

 

Made my own object notation thing.. I want to call it DMON but that sounds kinda like Demon XD

I got a C# reader ready too! This is how the format looks:

Code:

//language file example
english {
    ID_HELLO_WORLD = "Hello World!"
    ID_GOODBYE_USER = "Goodbye User!"
}
french {
    ID_HELLO_WORLD = "Bonjour le monde"
    ID_GOODBYE_USER = "Utilisateur de revoir"
}

Code:

//titled list
favorite_game_1 = "BeamNG"
favorite_game_2 = "CS:GO"
favorite_game_3 = "Robocraft"

Code:

//combination of the above 2
list {
    of_lists {
        of_lists_of_lists{
          listception = "this"
        }
    }
}

I'mAllAloneHere! = "<<weird chars D:"
IUsedToBeACow = 100
IUsedToBeADog = 0.1
NewVar = false
NewVar2 = true
NewVar3 = null

Why? I wanted something not as complicated, slow to parse, and with a better C# class than JSON (there are several C# json classes, which some are very complicated or cannot parse right etc etc)

 

I still have yet to pass out and/or get sick at band.

Now, fall on my face? Yup, been there, done that, broke my Clarinet twice because of gravity. Get decapitated by ex-girlfriend's trombone? Done that too. Trip a Sousa? Mhm. But never been sick, so, that's a plus.

 

Well, marching band camp is going to start next week. 7AM to 7PM. No garentees about not dying.

 

DMON : Now open source (C# 3.5+)
https://bitbucket.org/aaro4130/dmon/overview

 

I'll try to livestream BeamNG now.
Lets hope it works better than last time were it streamed at like 1fps because my internet
(imported from here) died.

--edit--

While it did work okay-ish at 30FPS 480p 1000kb/s, it got cut short by personal stuff.
But atleast it worked well enough to consider doing it again tonight when no one and nothing can annoy me.

 

I just use the XML reader and writer usually, imports/exports into a Dataset direct which can in turn be paired with SQL databases or have LINQ expressions used. Doesnt match up to the lightweight intentions though
Although if I have to go lightweight, I usually just parse a csv file.


On the C# front. I took an example someone wrote of some arbitrary precision decimal maths in C# and have been doing some work on a) eliminating other API dependancies (right now System.Math and System.Numerics) and b) Optimisation.
Addition, subtraction and multiplication are all working fine without rounding error and faster than the example does, havent even tried optimising those yet. Conversion to and from the standard float and double classes works fine (of course converting to float/double may introduce rounding error).
I broke the division though :/ My planned solution is a bit hacky, I am quite happy to live with a slow divide though if the rest of the struct is faster than the original, division should be avoided anyway.

 

Dear god XML. I'd rather not use the ...4? classes required in .NET to even parse an XML file . CSV Wouldn't fit the purpose either

 

Downloading NFSU2 now since I can't find the second install disk.
I've looked in the entire house for 2 hours but I just couldn't find it.

Code:

DataSet dataSet = [COLOR=blue]new[/COLOR] DataSet();
dataSet.ReadXml([COLOR=#A31515]"input.xml"[/COLOR], XmlReadMode.ReadSchema);

 

Returning my M7 for an M8.
