Can't you just use the gradient fill?

user92578

"Blend"

user92578

Oh wait i don't think that does what you want tough

user92578

Okay, I have no idea what to do next

Almo

ok looks like I got it

in the gradient editor, I had done something to remove the option to directly set an endpoint's color

making a new gradient, the option is there again.

this is why I hate GIMP so much. Stuff in the interface just behaves badly

Joe

14:15

I could never rough it out

after training on photoshop i never was able to put up with slumming it

Almo

Yeah, it's really hard :(

hey joe you at work right?

Joe

yep

whats up

Almo

ok

no hots then

I'm on vacation today :)

Joe

half day today if i play my cards right

ill be home in 4 hours

Almo

oh cool

user92578

14:19

Fuck

Joe

as long as no one crashes the servers haha

Almo

what's the server ip? >:)

user92578

My whole UI system broke

Almo

oh no:(

better get some breakfast

user92578

I did not plan having overlapping UI elements

Almo

14:20

talk later

user92578

Here's the issue:

user92578

user92578

If I click the mouse button, selecting the "Day Theme" item from the listbox

user92578

Also the button behind it, the "Create Level" button gets pressed

user92578

I have event capturing

Joe

14:22

so you need a method to get all the things under a mouse click... and only fire the top layer

user92578

So I'll give that another try

user92578

But if that fails... then I'm screwed

Almo

so the event needs to go to the items in order of depth, and each one needs to return if it ate it or not. If it eats it, the event goes no further down the tree

user92578

Yeah

user92578

The depth is the issue

Almo

14:23

well that's one way anyway

user92578

My depth is "the order of creation"

Almo

can you query that somehow?

user92578

The order?

user92578

Yeah I basically have this kind of thing working

user92578

The base panel loops trough it children in order, and if one eats the event, it stops

Almo

14:28

so... how is this not working in the case of the dropdown?

user92578

I think the order might be messed up

Almo

sounds like debugger time! :)

user92578

WTF

user92578

Okay

user92578

Tyyppi programming things wrong

user92578

14:33

Now the clicking works

user92578

But looks like I can't have both the clicking order and the rendering order correctly

Almo

:(

user92578

Yeah in my Event() loop I didn't break from the loop once a child consumed an event

Almo

:)

user92578

So I think I need to maintain a list of the rendering order separately

user92578

14:35

and add Z indices to my gui system

user92578

But now I get unexpected results...

user92578

hmm

user92578

I mean stuff stays hovered event they shouldn't

user92578

because the hover state updating happens at Event

user92578

and now it doesn't get called always

Almo

14:42

so no my horizontal scaling thing doesn't work quite right

Don't click on my profile

Is this absolutely bad written or is this okay? codeshare.io/Z8nqL

Almo

looks like it might just be some coordinate issues though

user92578

That's well, an unusual way

user92578

You don't actually do vectors like that

user92578

I'll comment in the code

user92578

14:50

Why did that get starred?

Kevin van der Velden

I dunno

Because people don't read the topic?

user92578

@Almo, I've got a star for you to destroy.

user92578

BTW Do we know what happened to Donut?

user92578

Also, I hacked the GUI to work again

Don't click on my profile

I thought the star is some kind of upvote :D I can un-star you if you want :P

user92578

14:52

Yeah starring is for things that are important/interesting to everyone

user92578

If you still can, please, go ahead and unstar it :)

user92578

FUCK

user92578

I broke my whole GUI

Kevin van der Velden

15:07

I have ductape!

That... doesn't really help with code though, also I'm in the netherlands so it's a bit far away

Hmmm

user92578

lol true

user92578

thanks anyways

Kevin van der Velden

I can offer moral support!

user92578

im so frustrated

user92578

I think I might just make everything the way they were

user92578

15:08

And replace the list box with a box that has arrows for changing the value

user92578

If you don't want to fix the problem, avoid the problem!

user92578

Or...

user92578

Actually, I could just add a BringToFront() method to the base panel class, and just update the listbox always first

user92578

I might even flip the rendering order, so that it starts from the back

Pip

eyo

user92578

15:13

Hi!

Pip

@Tyyppi_77 >:D

user92578

what is that smiley

Pip

user92578

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder holy crap Muffin model all of my games

that looks amazing

I love it

Almo

15:21

@Tyyppi_77 like that star?

user92578

YES

user92578

NO

user92578

MAYBE

user92578

IT'S CLASSIFIED

user92578

what is going on with the stars

user92578

15:24

I feel like I'm being framed to something

Pip

I want to build one: youtube.com/watch?v=HOqBInoDEhE

user92578

WORKS

user92578

Okay, theme selection is in action!

user92578

now eating, brb

Joe

15:55

@Almo can i buy an unstar por favor

Pip

16:21

@Joe no.

:P

Joe

lol just a suggestion

Pip

I know. I don't think Almo's around though

Joe

how many points do you need to chat?

10?

Pip

20

Ali.S

@Pip that's awesome

Pip

16:25

yeah :D

It's like 50 bucks to build that

Joe

kill it with fire!

Q: Please help improove and stabilized

I am indie dev with a two friends who help me. I’ve ready for OBT my first social game project after 3 years of work. Project: SlideLineSaga PVP Match-3 Facebook Canvas Please help improove and stabilized it before production. Any question and suggestion here or email. Link to game at FB: https:...

Pip

except for the watch parts he didn't make ofc

@Joe holy crap his art is nice

Joe

not working for me

Almo

@Joe that was my star :)

Joe

LOL

fair enough it stands

Almo

16:38

no i erased it. was a joke

the FUCK one

unless you mean another

Joe

no that was the one lol

if it had more substance i would be fine with it lol

Almo

:)

Joe

"FUCK [SOME OPERATING SYSTEM]"

thats allowed

its just a template!!! haha

Almo

:)

Pip

Fuck OSX!

Joe

16:46

for a thematic approach how does this sound... "you are upgrading your space age weapon system hardware, more memory correlates to ammunition magazine size, cpu = rate of fire, power supply = damage output"

Pip

it would be good if you spelled ammunition correctly

looks sloppy now

Joe

man pip has been busting my balls recently LOL

Pip

:D

Joe

OK FIXED!... maybe

Pip

Just standing behind you correcting your mistakes :D

Joe

16:48

i appreciate the support, mom... haha im j/p

i need to figure out thematically how to add additional mechanics... i guess i could use chipset?

or limit by heat?

Pip

:D

Yeah new chipsets could be good

you could do a protocol thing as well to go along with it... better chipsets can support better protocols

USB452

etc

Joe

17:06

interesting

i was thinking it would be cool to have a floppy drive

and software to modify attack patterns

user92578

17:22

Spike Brush!

user92578

(The dull static spikes that don't pop after an interval, I still haven't add entities)

user92578

Next up are structures

user92578

17:38

CLevelEditorBrushStructureBackground

user92578

Another item to the "Tyyppi's overly long classnames" list

Kevin van der Velden

I has new icons!

TheMuffinCoder

@Don'tclickonmyprofile I dont know how much i get a hour but I got 311 dogecoins in 8 hours :P, you can only have 1 tab open for dogecoin but you can open one for litecoin and bit coin :D moonbit.co.in moonliteco.in

:2389020I like the orange guy :D

He's like "why im i here"

Kevin van der Velden

@TheMuffinCoder they all have the same face =p

TheMuffinCoder

but he's orange :P

Kevin van der Velden

17:48

Well, the colours and sizes are different sure

TheMuffinCoder

@Pip :P I'll be happy to make low poly models for you :D

Pip

:D

TheMuffinCoder

I plan on making one of those assets set for Unity once I improve

For like 0.05$

Pip

nice

TheMuffinCoder

But Ill make free and better ones for you guys in GDSE :D

Pip

17:49

I have no actual stuff planned atm... homework and electronics projects at the moment

TheMuffinCoder

:( i have tons of hw atm too

Pip

But I'll definitely take you up on that at some point :D

TheMuffinCoder

I have to finish it all by today so I can have the next 3 days free to model and code js13k

Kevin van der Velden

@TheMuffinCoder I might take you up on that offer sometime (I'll even pay! =p)

Pip

I got piled over the summer... school starts Tuesday for me so it needs to be finished

TheMuffinCoder

17:50

@KevinvanderVelden :D

Lol i need to make a drop box and make free models for us

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder yeah, same deal here. Trying to get done before Monday so I can work on my 3d printer

Joe

@TheMuffinCoder whats 311 dogecoins worth?

TheMuffinCoder

wait let me check rn :P

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder Dropbox tends to kill links if they get high traffic. I recommend Google Drive instead

you can just share a folder there

TheMuffinCoder

Im syncing my bitcoin, dogecoin, litecoin wallets rn my laptop is dieing

Also have 5 tabs open with faucets o.O

Pip

17:52

@Joe 4 cents

Joe

nice

Pip

for 311 dogecoins

yesterday it would have been worth ~5.5 cents

TheMuffinCoder

user92578

I'm getting a crash but I don't know why :(

Almo

fuck

changed network

printer not connected to new router name

And... the HPLaserJet utility has no window

user92578

17:59

:(

user92578

Hey, stupid question coming

Almo

why can't shit just fucking work

user92578

I need to translate a tile position from 0-15 to a different layout in my tileset

user92578

So my 4-bit grid starts at n

user92578

And I have a 64-tiles wide tileset

user92578

18:01

So I need to do n + (bitmask & 3) and then somehow do the row increasing

Ali.S

@TheMuffinCoder so many coins... why?

user92578

here we go:

user92578

Looks horrible at any other formation

user92578

But I'm only going to create square things

user92578

18:07

So it doesn't really matter

user92578

Went with the easy way and did just 4-bit masking for those

Pip

nice

user92578

Yeah, it kinda is... all tough I need like 4 more brushes for making structures

user92578

Anyways, I'll call it a day now

user92578

bye guys

Pip

18:22

cya Tyyppi

TheMuffinCoder

18:34

@Ali.S Because coins are shiny =^.^=

Lol I dont think Ill ever get to own a bitcoin, I have to get 100,000,000 satoshi to get 1 bitcoin

Only have 13,000 satoshi rn and 650,000 litoshi

I want to start mining them one day ^-^

Ali.S

@TheMuffinCoder they sure are :P

Kevin van der Velden

19:00

There, coins as loot, I think that works better then the boxes

Pip

nice!

Kevin van der Velden

(I like procedural generation)

Joe

19:16

@TheMuffinCoder i wonder if theres a way to make a game where all the currency is actual dogecoin

and use the background process of the user to farm them

when they mine some, those can drop in game lol

Pip

20:01

huh, that's interesting

perhaps take a cut like 50% or something

TheMuffinCoder

@Joe lol, some hackers infect computer with malware just to install mining software and use it to mine for them

They use thousands of zombie computers on botnets just to mine bitcoins

TheMuffinCoder

20:14

LOL i just read that hackers do this so often that antivirus think that regular mining software is a virus

Jon

4.7ghz

4.7 GHZ MUWAHAHAHAHA

TheMuffinCoder

>: ^) is that a i7?

I made a deal with my mom that if i do well in school, lose weight, gain muscle by April she'll help me pay for my PC build which I'll budget at 1200$

Can't wait to get that i7 and overclock : ^)

Jon

i5

6600k

still working on it

TheMuffinCoder

On overclocking?

GO HARDCORE JON, OVERCLOCK IT TO 5ghz

Jon

hehe

i set it to 4.5

i think 4.7 is kinda high

running somewhat hot

Pip

20:21

@Jon awesome

TheMuffinCoder

dont worry Jon, just add more fans

Jon

ugh

how do I update the bios

ghard to believe I have to use their DOS tool

aight, its in the bios tools

Joe

20:52

@Jon the trick is... buy two processors and push the first one until it dies

then turn the second down one step

SpicyWeenie

22:16

This kid is awesome

if you want to be a part of the development process of this game, contact ThinMatrix on his Youtube channel

TheMuffinCoder

22:51

Lol, in my opinion I don't find MMORPG to be very fun due to all the grinding while also them requiring a lot of work to challenge already established games without having something truly unique :P

But then again I like Call of Duty and 9gag so I must be a oddball :D

Pip

23:15

lol
