Q: Arma 3 hide action icon/text in center

I would like to hide the action icon/text in the center of my UI. Since I can just scroll the action menu on the left it is distracting me from frontal events. I could not yet find the option in the Arma 3 settings. Mybe anybody here knows?

arma-3

GnomeSlice

@Dragonrage I'm a wood elf with a greatsword and heavy armor

Also a werewolf now

Dragonrage

i almost always played as an archer or a spell sword

GnomeSlice

18:18

I tried some enchantments and I added like stamina to some boots and it added a whopping one stamina

Idk I might start over

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice what gem did you use?

Yuuki

Beginning enchanting is terribad.

Kevin van der Velden

Yeah, you need to level it a bunch

Yuuki

It does get broken as hell though.

Dragonrage

@Yuuki yeah, you need basically max enchantment to have good enchanting

GnomeSlice

18:19

@KevinvanderVelden oh

A shitty one. Idk I have lots of other ones but it only lets me use petty

Kevin van der Velden

Did you fill them? =p

GnomeSlice

Guessing not

Yuuki

Yeah, most soul gems you find are empty.

Azura's Star is so broken.

Kevin van der Velden

Real azura star question is do you use it for black souls or white souls

Dragonrage

@KevinvanderVelden if you get the black star you can use it for either

Yuuki

18:22

I'd rather not have a Daedric Prince annoyed at me, so I went white star.

Even though Black Star is objectively more powerful.

Dragonrage

eh, its just a daedric prince. they are just another target to pincushion with my bow

Kevin van der Velden

No, deadric princes are those things that warp reality

ToxicFrog

@KevinvanderVelden neither, you trap Vivec's soul in it and then keep it as a souvenir

Dragonrage

they cant warp reality if reality isnt real

Kevin van der Velden

I mean, the difference between gods in skyrim and deadric princes in skyrim is that gods helped created the planet/moons and the princes didn't

Yuuki

18:28

And as a result, the gods lost power and it's a coin flip as to whether they still exist.

Whereas the Princes didn't and most definitely do still exist.

Kevin van der Velden

Yuup

So which is more powerful =p

Ignition was re-released and Scott Manley made a video about it and I am so happy right now

bertieb

What's that Lassie? Someone said Scott Manley?? I'd better go and check it out

user15026

18:35

@SaintWacko ooooh, does this mean it has a proper ebook now? hopes hopes hopes

SaintWacko

@Ash There's a kindle edition, looks like

amazon.com/Ignition-Informal-History-Liquid-Propellants-ebook/…

Hopefully there's an open e-book somewhere, too

Yuuki

Hmm... how would I write a loop that iterates between integers a and b where a could be lesser or greater than b and a is also used in computation?

Unionhawk

what

Yuuki

My original thought was for (var i = a; i < a + Math.abs(a-b); i++) { ... } but I actually use i in computation.

Unionhawk

oh so foreach i in range(a, b) or whatever

SaintWacko

18:39

You could also do i < math.max(a, b)

Or however it works in... C++?

Yuuki

@SaintWacko I don't think that iterates from a to b?

Or actually, I guess it does.

SaintWacko

So what happens if a is lower than b?

Unionhawk

yeah if you set i to math.min

SaintWacko

It just only loops once?

Yuuki

for (var i = Math.min(a, b); i < Math.max(a, b);) { ... }

SaintWacko

18:41

Yeah, that would do it

Unionhawk

if you're modifying i within the loop just go int wharrgarbl_temp_i = i line 1

user15026

@SaintWacko Kindle is convertable enough with Calibre to a decent epub or whatever (I keep my version of desktop Kindle deliberately like 4 versions behind to force them to give me the filetypes Calibre can convert), that's just a lot for an ebook :(

SaintWacko

@Ash No kidding :\

Yuuki

@SaintWacko So, for example, if a = 1 and b = 3, then you iterate 1, 2, 3 which is easy. But it also needs to handle a = 3 and b = 1, which in case you would iterate 3, 2, 1.

user15026

Although @ToxicFrog did you see Ignite has a proper (albeit expensive) ebook now? :)

SaintWacko

18:42

I hate that they charge so much for ebooks

Unionhawk

@Yuuki ooo

hm

user15026

gestures upward in conversation

SaintWacko

It's also available from Barnes and Noble

Unionhawk

interesting

what language lol

Yuuki

Javascript.

:D

user15026

18:42

@SaintWacko I am so used to indie romance prices where $5 is expensive :P

Unionhawk

bah

wait

user15026

So this is like....aaaaaaaaaa so much

ToxicFrog

@Ash I saw!

user15026

@SaintWacko I'm assuming the price isn't much better?

user15026

I'd check Kobo but I suspect it will be the same

ToxicFrog

18:43

I'm going to keep using the PDF I made though~

SaintWacko

@Ash Actually it's about $15 there

And I actually didn't see it on Kobo

Ronan

@Yuuki Do you have underscore?

Yuuki

@Ronan Nope.

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Oh! Hmm

Yuuki

... why is this iterator variable declared outside of the loop and yet is always assigned a value at the beginning of each loop?

user15026

18:45

@SaintWacko I guess that's a little better

SaintWacko

Oh geez

I know how to do this lol

Yuuki

while instead of for?

SaintWacko

i = a; i < b; i += (a-b) / math.abs(a-b);

There's probably a better way to do that last bit

Ronan

a < b ? i++ : i-- should work

SaintWacko

Oh, that's better than what I did

Unionhawk

18:48

heh

Kevin van der Velden

@SaintWacko i = a, n = (a<b?-1:1); i != b; i += n

That may be the wrong way around

Dragonrage

var i = a;
while(i != b)
{
   //do stuff
   a>b ? i-- : i++;
}

SaintWacko

Alternatively: i += 1 * (-1 * (a > b))

StrixVaria

Ruby doesn't even support this as a built in method so that implies that it's definitely a dumb idea.

Because Ruby supports everything as a built in iterator.

for ascending:

(a..b).each do |x|
  # do stuff with x
end

Yuuki

@StrixVaria Yeah, one of the ideas going into this was to change things to use an iterator instead.

Unionhawk

18:49

private void Wharrgarbl(int a, int b) { //def overengineered and in the wrong language
    int count = Math.abs(a-b);
    var range = Enumberable.Range(Math.min(a, b), count);
    if (a>b) range = range.Reverse();
    foreach (var x in range) {
    }
}

StrixVaria

But if a is greater than b then it doesn't work.

Yuuki

And as I delve through this code, I'm leaning further and further into that.

StrixVaria

You should definitely do an iterator that encapsulates the logic if this is actually a thing you need.

Nobody is going to understand WTF is going on if you just do a raw loop with insane logic.

Yuuki

But the issue is that this code seems to heavily rely on the assumption that data is in ascending order.

Dragonrage

@StrixVaria #jobsecurity

Kevin van der Velden

18:50

function doTheThing(n); if(a<b)for(int i =a;a<b;a++) doTheThing(i); else etc

Dragonrage

make sure all variables are initialized as var

Kevin van der Velden

int, var, same thing

Dragonrage

and all constants should be const var

c# actually doesnt let you do that. idk about js

Yuuki

In JS, everything is var. Or let if you're being modern.

Dragonrage

i havent worked in js for several years

hmm, so i add a datatable with rows as a source to a datagridview, but the datagridview doesnt have rows in it :(

SaintWacko

18:56

@Ash Oh wait, it is on Kobo but it's $20 there

Yuuki

Actually, now that I'm looking at this code at a 10-degree head tilt, the order of iteration doesn't really matter.

So I can iterate from a to b or b to a.

Ronan

@Yuuki flips table

Yuuki

@Ronan yeeeeeep

Ugh, just want to throw this out and use an iterator.

Q: Where to get Fallout 4 official Updates

Guys Don't know this is right place to ask this question that I want to know where to get official announcement of fallout 4, I got as google result https://fallout.bethesda.net/ and another match site is https://www.fallout4.net/ Any one tell me that both official or anything else. thanks in adv...

fallout

Yuuki

@Lazers2.0 Are they asking for patch/update notes?

user15026

19:08

@SaintWacko :/

user15026

This is my problem with a lot of more academic literature, I want to read it but it costs so much

Yuuki

So I guess i = Math.min(a,b); i < Math.max(a,b); i++ should be fine.

Unionhawk

yeah if you don't really need to go from a to b, and just need all numbers between a and b

Unionhawk

this new sidebar feels weird. it adds more white space to the left side and removes some on the right side, leaving the whole page feeling off centered

Q: Can't find it, can't get it, NEED HELP

When I look for Dayspring Canyon, it's not there. I've watched tons of videos showing where, but it's gone! And I'm past level ten and when I talk to guards, they don't say a thing, and Durak, or whatever his name is, NEVER confronts me! I desperate need help. I want to join because I HATE vampir...

@GodEmperorDune well, I guess someone has to post the obligatory XKCD...

I've looked into this, and I can't figure out a way to do it cheaply. And I guess it wouldn't be sanitary.

Q: If there are effectively no restrictions on comments, the site's rules should be changed accordingly

Let's start with how comments are meant to be used, according to our own rules: What are comments? Comments are temporary "Post-It" notes left on a question or answer. They can be up-voted (but not down-voted) and flagged, but do not generate reputation. There's no revision history, and ...

discussion comments

Frank

Hawkeye broke both his arms, not in Avengers, but in a movie about adults playing tag, of all things.

user15026

@TrentHawkins This reignites my curiosity of how you actually clean all the playpen balls because like...someone has got to, right?

Trent Hawkins

22:45

@Ash The most efficient method (time/effort wise) would be something like this.

Yuuki

Shoot, I just realized that I mistyped the first lyric.

Can someone mod-fix that?

Trent Hawkins

Lacking that - painstakingly by hand, I'd assume.

GodEmperorDune

@TrentHawkins lol, ball washing machine

@TrentHawkins ehh, you could fill up a kiddy pool with water/soap and dump them in there to wash them in batches

not like individually scrubbing each one

user15026

@TrentHawkins Huh, I guess that does fill the need nicely

Trent Hawkins

@Ash probably only practical for businesses with ball pits, however. with a little ingenuity you could probably rig up a something a little more manual that's still more efficient than individually scrubbing. (Like a hopper feeding balls into a bigger version of a golf-ball washing station.)

GodEmperorDune

23:00

maybe if you had a shop vac with a wide enough hose to fit the balls

@SepiaLazers not all rules have to be strictly enforced to the letter of the law. a few comments here and there doesnt really detract from the site. its only when questions/answers get overwhelmed with fluff that we really need to get rid of it

I shall try and write up an answer to that meta later if someone hasnt already articulated my thoughts better than i can
