A tracing with giving up on the fine details. The mouth being as "good" as it is is a miracle

John McDonald

2:34 AM

:D

SpartanDonut

When did you show up here? lol

John McDonald

hah, I showed up here like an hour ago, thinking about my Skippy Fish art

SpartanDonut

I've been wreaking havoc since last Thursday or so I think... Joe, Noctrine, and I invaded and i stuck around

I even have a star lol

John McDonald

Posted on TIG Source, but no replies yet

SpartanDonut

They aren't nearly as active in the off hours as we are

John McDonald

2:40 AM

Cool

SpartanDonut

Honestly your art is pretty solid and comes across quite polished to me. It will be interesting what kind of feedback you get

John McDonald

yeah. It's not bad for sure, but I donno, surely there are areas for improvement

In its small form, there's not a lot to poke at, but if I want this on tablets (and I do), then all of these details are going to be even bigger

Q: How to handle users who delete a question as soon as it is answered?

So.. I answer a question.... Then the user promptly deletes it... http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/36583/subtracting-shape-with-multiple-subpaths-easily This not only makes me feel like I've simply wasted my time, but it also prevents any future user benefiting from solutions. ...

SpartanDonut

@JohnMcDonald I think my only real critique, and I'm not a designer so hopefully you get more of what you are looking for, is I'd like to see some sort of animation while the fish is out of water

I don't know what I'd want that to look like though

@Scott you around man?

John McDonald

Yeah, I think Chris was thinking there should be more happening when you're flying, so you're not alone

A little wriggle, or some water coming off, or a smile (if it were visible), or eyeballs looking around, or...

Wriggling is hard though

SpartanDonut

2:53 AM

You're getting into artist territory there ;)

But yeah I think your ideas are on the right track

I think some Lynda courses on Illustrator are definitely in my future

Just need to decide when I'm going to take the time to do it so I don't end up paying for too many months worth of courses

John McDonald

Right. That's pretty cool though

SpartanDonut

I don't want to ask the questions I have on the site because they all amount to "I have this really convoluted way to accomplish task X. Is there a more user friendly way?"

I was hoping to catch Scott while I had some on my mind after doing the drawing... He's the resident expert, or so the others tell me.

I better write them down

I need to come up with a nice simple idea and execute it 100% my own from start to finish. I envy you for that and Skippy Fish :P

John McDonald

yeah, I've started to keep track of every idea I get. That's how Skippy Fish was born

SpartanDonut

Awesome

John McDonald

I was thinking about very simple phone games, and came up with a few ideas, this was one of them

SpartanDonut

3:05 AM

That's one thing I really need to work on as a person as a whole - getting more organized

Writing things down is a good first step

John McDonald

I've been just using Google Drive

Might seem silly to write down "Tap to skip", but... hey

(ok, I wrote more than that, but you get the idea)

SpartanDonut

I've been considering getting Office 365 lately and I think I might throw in SharePoint for an extra $3 / month. It's a fantastic organization tool with the ability to share with other people.... I might break down and do that here soon

Scott

@SpartanDonut s'up?

SpartanDonut

There he is!

I need to figure out how I'm doing things... wrong...

As in I'm sure there are better ways

I think my biggest issue that I have is with managing layers

First and foremost, I draw with the blob brush

Scott

m'kay

SpartanDonut

3:14 AM

From here I've been using the live paint tool to fill white space

The paint ends up in the same layer as a sublayer

Scott

well.. wait...

SpartanDonut

lol ok

Scott

first you need to understand that the Layers Panel in Illustrator is actually a Layers and Objects panel

Every object will show in the layers panel. The layer's panel shows 4 things....

Layers

Sublayers

Groups

objects

Each of those may look like a layer, but only 2 of them actually are

SpartanDonut

Certainly. I follow very well and it was really just a terminology thing :)

Scott

Everything you draw is an object, so they show in the layers panel as well

So when you fill with live paint, you are creating new filled objects

SpartanDonut

3:16 AM

Yes

Scott

Those are showing int he Layers panel.... okay....

SpartanDonut

I think writing out my question I thought of a solution

Scott

Cool you get it.. I'll step up the explanations from here on out :)

Never know what level of user to target :)

what was the question. I shouldn't have interrupted.

SpartanDonut

Certainly. I appreciate the help. I'll certainly let you know if you're over my head

So the issue I have is how huge the list of things can get and how difficult it can end up being to organize. The first set of blob lines and paint objects isn't too bad but when I start to want to add shading and sandwich objects in the middle this gets a little rough

Using the blob brush is there a way to combine all my same colored blob objects into a single blob object?

Or at least fewer as I assume a single object has to be 100% connected if this is possible

Scott

They should auto-combine. Double click the Blob Brush tool. There's a pref to "Merge only with Selection" if that is unchecked any same colored Blob stroke should combine with previous strokes. If it's Checked then they only merge when they are selected.

SpartanDonut

3:21 AM

Ok that setting looks right then (unselected)

Hmmmmm... this may require some experimentation as I wonder how I end up with so many sometimes

Perhaps it comes from drawing blobs that aren't touching and then later touching them together or something

Scott

So they should automatically merge if they are the same color and touch. Are they not doin that?

THat could be it.

The stroke has to start or end touching an existing stroke

SpartanDonut

Ok good to know. Lets say my workflow ends up in this disconnected blobs state because either thats the way I work or maybe it was an accident :)

Can I merge after the fact?

Scott

Actually.. jsut playing. I'm wrong. They should merge regardless

SpartanDonut

Well jeeze

Scott

Definately after the fact.. jsut select one, then Select > Same > Fill and Stroke and then Pathfinder > unite or Pathfinder > Merge

The only reason they wouldn't auto-merge would be if the color was different.

SpartanDonut

3:25 AM

I'm seeing that now... I have no clue how I ended up in the state I was. I must have done something

Scott

Could be that part of it was a Live Paint group.... and part wasn't. That will have an affect

SpartanDonut

That's another question but before that... I'm struggling with the merge

Scott

I gotta run.. but I'm happy to answer things.. just ping me with questions and I'll ping you back with answers.

SpartanDonut

If you don't mind I'll wait til were both in chat and just knock out the questions as we can (I'll ask the general population as people are here as well). I do well with real time conversation.

But yeah... I really appreciate the assistance. Have a great night!

JohnB

1:34 PM

hello

SpartanDonut

Mornin

Bakabaka

1:52 PM

mornin gents

(or, locally, afternoon)

uh... didn't mean to kill the room (tries to hide the bloody knife again)

JohnB

:)

gearing up for an emergency print job

Bakabaka

I tought I heard a diesel starting!

SpartanDonut

Compared to the one true GDSE, this room is always dead :P

Bakabaka

thanks for the cheerful message, @SpartanDonut

:P

SpartanDonut

2:07 PM

The people who frequent here seem to be great people though so I imagine chat will grow. Game Dev chat was fairly small when I first showed up there 2 or 3 years ago.

Bakabaka

One of our greatest, Yisela, is on the move at the moment. I expect to room to re-explode when she's back

SpartanDonut

Well now I'm not sure how to feel lol

Now that you've talked her up... when she's back should I be excited? Perhaps a bit cautious?

Probably just normal... but....

I'm probably doomed thanks to you

Bakabaka

lol

she's cool

she'd probably disapprove of me talking her up

hi @Scott, good morning

Scott

2:25 PM

Anyone still feel QR codes are viable? When was the last time YOU scanned a QR code?

Bakabaka

I never did

Scott

Hey @Bakabaka

Bakabaka

once I got myself a smartphone, I stopped seeing them anywhere

Scott

HA! exactly :)

JohnB

I do! When clients ask me to add them to add them to something, I scan them to make sure it works

does that count? :P

Bakabaka

2:26 PM

lol

Scott

My thought... for a coupon or discount for a younger demographic, then okay. Otherwise they are pointless

No @JohnB that does not count :)

Bakabaka

you do tell them the things are butt-ugly, no?

Scott

I have a client selling literally million dollar services.. and he wants to use a QR code. Trying to convince him for his demographic, they are pointless. No one spending 1 Mill on his service is scannign QR codes.

Bakabaka

maybe with their golden iPhone6?

with a diamond-studded apple logo?

so they can scan QR codes for the latest Lamborghini model?

Scott

Exactly... it's jsut ugly and pointless.. especially on a business card

Bakabaka

2:30 PM

more pointless than ugly in that case

Scott

Yup. A Starbucks coupon.. sure go for it... but a million dollar building remodel.. seriously?

Bakabaka

that's hype for you :/

Scott

Thanks for confirming I'm not the crazy one here :)

Bakabaka

well... the jury's out on that one.

JohnB

someone wanted us to screen print a QR code once, I told them that was a silly idea (and they listened!)

Scott

2:32 PM

Damn.. thought I covered my tracks.

I'm going to start using a QR code on all my marketing that loads a web page which reads .... "STOP USING QR CODES!"

JohnB

haha

have you encountered a QR code thats on a web page?

Scott

Yeah.. how dumb is that

Bakabaka

lol

JohnB

I blame marketing people for those

Bakabaka

that's almost oxymoronic

hm. I just got a quote back, with the customer saying they want the work done within a month, instead of within the 6~8 weeks I promised. Do I increase the rate?

Scott

2:34 PM

Absolutely

Bakabaka

thanks, Scott, that's exactly what I wanted to hear :)

(or was that in reply to JohnB? :) )

JohnB

I'm going to say absolutely not just to make you feel bad

Scott

No it was for you @Bakabaka ... ABSO-Freakin-Lutely

Bakabaka

why thanks, @JohnB

sob

JohnB

my pleasure

Scott

2:36 PM

I always up rates if time frame is cut, especially in half

Bakabaka

...by how much?

25%?

Scott

Depends on the project and how much overtime I think I'm going ot need to pull.. and how well the client relationship is

at least 25% if not 33%

Bakabaka

oh wow

this helps, thanks.

Scott

Basically if I say 8 weeks.. and they counter with no.. 4 weeks. That's double the amount of work over the next month

I have other clients. I'll ahve to shuffle other deadlines to meet their tight deadline. So....

Bakabaka

that's my point exactly. I have a big assignment for a very good customer and I want to be proud of the product that I'm making for that project. Don't wanna compromise that

Scott

2:41 PM

The way I see it is.. I quote assuming 8 hr work days.. if I need to adjust to 12 or 14 hr days for their project then that additional 4-6 hrs is overtime they need to compensate me for

Bakabaka

good argument

Scott

Now.. if it's dead and I don't ahve a lot of work and I wouldn't be really shuffling anything. I may not raise rates that much.

Bakabaka

It's not as if I'm dead, but not like I'm flooded either. I could use some pressure to be motivated, even

so I guess I'll up the rates, but not as much as you just suggested

Scott

sounds like a good strategy.

SpartanDonut

I think QR codes have a place but people generally aren't doing it right

Scott

2:45 PM

And my client just agreed... removed the horrible QR codes. Yippee!

Bakabaka

rejoice! :D

SpartanDonut

Xbone's Kinect + QR code for redeeming stuff you would usually have to enter a code in for is an example I really like

Bakabaka

oh, that's a good one, Spartan

text entry on consoles is shaky and cumbersome at best

Scott

Oh come on @SpartanDonut We all know you just say "Xbox QR Code" and it knows what it is :)

That reminds me... I bought a PS4 and Xbox One when they came out.. like 6 months ago.. And STILL there are the same 5 games for each console... what a disappointment. Seriously.

Where are all the games?

Bakabaka

that's why I'm still going strong with my PS3

no plans to buy a Piss-poor yet

Scott

2:48 PM

I still use my PS3 often :)

SpartanDonut

I'm a PC / Wii U Master race member right now

Bakabaka

I will get one, at a certain point, but... not yet.

Scott

I boot the PS4 or Xbox1 to see if there are new games... nope... okay either play Infamous3 or boot the PS3 :)

SpartanDonut

That said Destiny comes out soon...

Scott

But Destiny is sooooooo hyped.. I bet it sucks

Watchdogs was hyped and it's mediocre at best.

SpartanDonut

2:49 PM

I like the Watchdogs formula better than GTA

Scott

I got the Xbox one for one thing... Gears of War... never had an Xbox 360 and want to play Gears of War ...

SpartanDonut

Do you use either console as a multimedia box (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)?

Scott

Yeah but just like GTA.. it's just random roaming around a way too big city.. You spend so much time traveling in GTA or Watchdogs it's silly

Nah Bandwidht is a premium. So I don't do a lot of streaming. And I have a Tivo which will stream hulu or netflick ro crackle.. and my PS3s can steam as well

So far.. there's been little to no justification for the PS4 and Xbox one

Bakabaka

It's quite the pity. The PS3 was slow to get rolling, but at least it got rolling

Scott

I'm not overly impressed with how Sony and MS feel that regular 13+GB downloads are a good thing

My PS3s blow away the PS4 and Xbox1

Bakabaka

2:53 PM

but both new-gen have puny software offerings this time around

Scott

The PS4 can't even do what the PS3 does

SpartanDonut

Yeah my internet is awful... I plan a day or two in advance if I plan on downloading a large game

Bakabaka

ah, @SpartanDonut, you're one of those people who must've really like the VanOrd tweets :)

Scott

I still buy discs because I dont' want the huge downloads.. then you put in the disk and it downloads a 3GB update... seriously????

SpartanDonut

@Bakabaka no clue what you're talking about lol

I download games 1) Because I'm primarily a PC gamer; and 2) I don't like disks for console

Because 3) I'm a spoiled PC gamer :D

Bakabaka

2:56 PM

@SpartanDonut there was this MS marketing dude who, when the XboX1 specs were still unknown, spread the rumour that it would be an always-connected thing

SpartanDonut

It annoys me that I install a game to the consoles HDD and yet I still need to put the disk in to confirm I actually own the game

Bakabaka

and he tweeted, very bluntly 'live with it'

SpartanDonut

Oh I have no issues with always being connect

Bakabaka

the Interwebs mangled him

SpartanDonut

It's bandwidth heavy tasks that are rough

Scott

2:57 PM

That annoys me as well @SpartanDonut Why it doesn't install and unlock to allow play without the disc is a mystery. Or even offer a $5 unlock int he stores so you cna play without the disc

SpartanDonut

It's because people want to be able to borrow and sell their games used

The always connected option would have allowed us to do that

Scott

good point

I guess I just never sell or trade anything :)

SpartanDonut

And always doesn't mean always - just a simple keep alive check once in a while

Scott

I still have PS1 games (and play them on my PS3 :)

SpartanDonut

Nice

Monster Rancher best game evar

Scott

2:58 PM

No Vagrant Story.. best game ever

SpartanDonut

Pfffft

Bakabaka

@Scott heavily seconded

Dat atmosphere

^^ Dah Shiznet!

2:59 PM

squee

the classic times, when Square didn't suck yet

Scott

yup. .. and more game than text to read :)

Square games are like reading a feeakin novel now :)

SpartanDonut

Mario RPG best game evar?

Speaking of Square games anyway

Bakabaka

uh... more like adolescent pulp, sometimes

(FF 13-2...)

@SpartanDonut never played it

Scott

Never been a Nentendo user.. limited Mario exposure here.

I went Atari, sega, playstation... skipped Nintendo :)

Bakabaka

me neither. the bf is, and is having me considere getting a 3DS as well.

some sweet Shin Megami Tensei on that thing

SpartanDonut

3:08 PM

Playing through the A Link Between Worlds right now on 3DS. It's quite fun.

Bakabaka

ah, yeah, I saw that being played. short, but very good

can't wait till the end of the year when Persona 5 rolls around. But by then I'll probably be till my neck in playing 3DS games :)

it's funny though... It's all three major next-gen consoles that have a dearth of software

I mean, it's not as if WiiU is selling like hotcakes, either

Scott

yeah it was the rush to hit Christmas 2013 when NOTHING was ready :)

SpartanDonut

Wii U has great games

Bakabaka

such as?

SpartanDonut

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is probably my favorite...

Bakabaka

3:20 PM

(and this is not a sarcastic statement, just an inquiring mind wanting to know)

SpartanDonut

Mario U and Luigi U; Mario 3D World; Mario Kart 8

Pikmin 3

Bakabaka

that's all first-party, right?

SpartanDonut

Yeah

Scott

I a bigot.. can't play Mario.....

Just don't like....

PLUMBERS!!!!!!!

SpartanDonut

Honestly 3rd party support is bad but if we're comparing consoles, cross console 3rd party games don't really matter

Well...

It does

Not sure what my point was there

Bakabaka

3:22 PM

lol

SpartanDonut

But yeah, blanket statement of Wii U 3rd party support sucks

First party games are solid

I've not played Zombie U or Wonderful 101 but those are supposedly really fun

Scott

My perception is Wii... first person a LOT. Xbox... multiplayer online A LOT PS single player mostly. This is a bit of a generalization, but it seems to be that each company has something they specifically focus on.

Bakabaka

shrug I tihnk it an interesting paradox that AAA games are more expensive to produce than ever, but at the same time the market seems to be slower than ever

SpartanDonut

I'm more annoyed with the fact that its the same old thing every year

I don't care if it takes a year or so to produce a game but give me something different

Scott

yeah how many remakes of the exact same game can they get away with.. Assassins Creed 15 - same moves.. differnt city

Bakabaka

3:25 PM

uh yeah

uh... FIFA 416?

or was that 2014?

Scott

same difference :)

Bakabaka

the same soccer game every year

SpartanDonut

Mario for the most part does something new / interesting each iteration and the release schedule is much more spread out

Bakabaka

and they sell...

Scott

I will say the only series which has stayed pretty fresh is Uncharted.

Bu that has more to do with the fact that the consoles grew with each version, so there was more power to use each version.

Bakabaka

3:27 PM

uh? Uncharted has only been on PS3 and PS Vita.

Scott

No it was on teh PS2

Bakabaka

sure? which one was?

Scott

Uncharted was PS2.. Uncharted 2 and 3 were PS3

I think... Maybe I'm wrong

SpartanDonut

Didn't play them so I can't confirm or deny and too lazy to google

Bakabaka

nope, U1 is PS3

SpartanDonut

3:28 PM

BUT

Scott

Could swear I played Uncharted before I got a PS3..

Bakabaka

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is an action-adventure third-person shooter platform game developed by Naughty Dog, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for PlayStation 3. It is the first game in the Uncharted series. Combining action-adventure and platforming elements with a third-person perspective, the game charts the journey of protagonist Nathan Drake, supposed descendant of the explorer Sir Francis Drake, as he seeks the lost treasure of El Dorado, with the help of journalist Elena Fisher and mentor Victor Sullivan. Originally announced at E3 2006, the title was developed for about two...

U1 is something that would fry the PS2

SpartanDonut

Either way, the games were released far enough apart that the software tech matured allowing developers to get more out of the consoles over the years

Bakabaka

exactly

Scott

k.. I'm wrong. :)

Bakabaka

3:29 PM

it happens ;)

Scott

Just dont' go spreading it around :)

Bakabaka

makes sure you're not going crazy with all that rep, Scott

SpartanDonut

takes down the blog post he just wrote on the topic....

Bakabaka

@SpartanDonut what topic? Scott's madness? ;)

Scott

I just feel that series has remained different each game. Now.. 4 may be completely lame and a rehash...

SpartanDonut

3:32 PM

@Bakabaka It was titled "Scott was wrong today"

Bakabaka

that's what I used to like about Final Fantasy: it reinvented itself every iteration

Scott

Well hell.. you could jsut use a PHP loop and insert that daily :)

Bakabaka

but now they make direct sequels, and sequels to those direct sequels

SpartanDonut

@Scott PHP.... gross.

Scott

The only game I liked in the FF series was Tactics :)

Bakabaka

3:33 PM

and 'in-the-same-universe-but-not-quite-a-sequel' junk

@SpartanDonut hey! php is mighty useful stuff!

SpartanDonut

I'm a .NET guy

Bakabaka

@Scott you still got your PSP? If you liked tactics, then you'll love Tactics Ogre

SpartanDonut

I find PHPs ways difficult to work with but its probably because of my .NET background

Scott

I liked Assassins Creed 1.. 2 was a rehash.. and so has every version after it. Infamous was fabulous. Infamous Second son is a basic rehash

Got tactics ont eh iPad and PSP and PS3

Never heard of Tactics Ogre.. I'll ahve to look for it

Thanks

I like PHP :)

Bakabaka

@Scott en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactics_Ogre#PSP

Scott

3:34 PM

Saves loads of time web building :)

Bakabaka

it's a remake of a classic PS1-er. FF Tactics was actually based on this game

but the PSP remake is great, and the game plays way more smoothly than FF Tactics

FF:T is a bit too heavy on the system it was built for, so it's very slow

SpartanDonut

I don't fully understand what you mean by that Scott but I'm guessing you are comparing it to writing all the HTML / individual pages without PHP?

Because that's what all server side techs are for :)

Scott

Only $12 at amazon @Bakabaka :) Ordering :)

Spartan.. yeah.. PHP makes a lot of HTML markup faster.

Bakabaka

I've taken to building my .css as .css.php

makes changing a single colour or typeface or somesuch extremely easy

Scott

yeah that helps too. I do that in some cases. It cna increase the server load though

SASS or LESS is a slightlybetter alternative, but more complicated

Bakabaka

3:39 PM

heard those before. something to look into once I have some time in the sandbox

SpartanDonut

@Scott That's what I thought you were getting at. A terminology thing here again but this time the other way around ;)

Bakabaka

@Scott and talking of tactics games... Ever played Valkyria Chronicles?

Scott

I found Valkarie Chronichles a bit too story laiden and slow

I have it. Just not as engaging for some reason

Bakabaka

fair enough :)

I really liked it. It's a pity that the PSP sequel had That One Level.

but I'm a sucker for story

that's also why I loved Vagrant Story

Scott

I'm not :) I want to jsut play.. I skip all story parts I can :)

I hate the trend of loading a game and sitting through 20 minutes of openign story before you actually get to play anything :)

I want INSTANT gratification damnit!

Bakabaka

3:44 PM

how old are you, like, twelve? rolls eyes

:P

Scott

yeah :) I'm 11.

Dateline follows my chats.. be careful.

:)

SpartanDonut

Some kid was raging at me in a game many years ago... I asked him... "What are you, twelve?" - his reponse: "I'M 13!!!!!!!!"

Scott

Anyway.. gotta go and actually accomplish something this morning. Good chatting with you all :)

Bakabaka

@SpartanDonut lol

@Scott have a nice day!

Bakabaka

4:00 PM

it's time for me to scram too. day's almost over anyway. have a nice one, @SpartanDonut!

SpartanDonut

6:59 PM

Looking at some other vector art... I like how some lineless styles are

Scott

8:28 PM

HA! The Consumer Protection Agency really works!

joojaa

@scott and no the center of a triangle is not the same as the bounding box centre adobe uses. ;) but you know this

Scott

well.. it depends upon the triangle :)

nice script :)

joojaa

:) I'm not aware of any triangle that behaves like this but if you find one please let me know. I have a blender head where i would need that triangle it would make things so much easier.

Scott

I'm not that savvy with math so... I'm just playin' :)

I know the area center is not the same as the actual center in many instances.

joojaa

I dont expect you to be. Too bad, some 1 on 1 linear algebra would make your life so much easier!

Scott

8:39 PM

I actually used to excel at algebra, geometry, calculus, trig, etc. But I haven't really needed any of it in 15-20 years so... well.. it's died in me :)

joojaa

well linear algera is easy

once you get it tough

Is there some problem with syntax highlighting in GD.SE?

SpartanDonut

I noticed you guys have a "Preformatted text" option in your editor where as other sites are labeled as "Code sample" so it's entirely possible that syntax highlighting simply isn't implemented here

joojaa

8:58 PM

Darn

SpartanDonut

Sounds like a question to bring up on meta :P

7

Q: Applying syntax highlighting to code snippets

I submitted another answer to the question regarding copying layers from one document to another in Photoshop. My solution proposes using a script to automate the process which I embedded in the answer. In fact, all my answers have been around automating the Creative Suite with scripts. Unfortun...

feature-request

Scott

9:35 PM

It's already been presented. And based on the mission of the site, syntax highlighting is not warranted. We're not generally receptive to code questions. Therefore yntax highlighting has little place

SpartanDonut

Is the preformatted text option used much as is?

joojaa

sure ascii graphics

Bakabaka

Seriously, preformatted is used a lot to make menu commands, file extensions and palette names stand out from the rest of the text. Gotta love Courier New.

Scott

The preformatted text gives the code view without syntax highlighting. It's used. I really wouldn't care if highlighting was added, but somewhere on meta is an answer from Stack stating why it won't be. Something about unnecessary overhead based on site goal.

SpartanDonut

9:50 PM

Yeah then I see a reason to not include it. Syntax highlighting and regular preformatted text would probably step on each other at times causing more problems then solving them.

joojaa

10:01 PM

You can specify what formatter to use or plain text

Anyway i do drop a occasional javascript for illustrator or photoshop would be nice for it to format even if i would need to specify this.

is it ok to ask 10 different tiny questions that youd find in the manual easily? I mean this guy is doing so:

Vladimir

97 2

3d 3ds-max modeling blender education resource-recommendations scale

hi

SpartanDonut

Ah. Even as a web developer I'm not terribly familiar with the capabilities of markdown so that's cool that you can choose which type of formatting you want. Obviously you can do it with HTML but markdown is another beast altogether.

joojaa

Now i have to go and sleep damn 32 degrees weather. i mean 32 is cool ofr 3 days but not 4 weeks

115

Q: What is syntax highlighting and how does it work?

I noticed that sometimes my code gets highlighted in different colors when rendered. What is syntax highlighting? How does it work? What if my code isn't highlighted correctly? How do I report a bug or request a new language? What languages are currently available on Stack Exchange? Return to...

support faq syntax-highlighting

Explained in the question above. its a stackoverflow extension

SpartanDonut

Well I know how Syntax Highlighting works... at least some implementations. I've implemented it on my blog :P

I was talking about Markdown and how it chooses how to implement preformatted text.

Oh there's an override! I should have read lol

My bad

joojaa

:)

We have a nice thuderstorm comming in maybe ill go out ansd watch lightningbolts

Or try to put the camera on exposure trapping
