I think you can also get a free beta key by pre-ordering on Amazon, then canceling the pre-order after they give you the beta key.

Are you running a local server? I can always do it on a local server, but never an internet server.

Modification Help / Re: Replacing a brick's texture.

From everything I've ever tried, it is impossible to have a custom texture defined to a blb face, other than using PRINT (unless you replace the texture for all bricks...)

Wrong Shingeki, the one used in the title is "進撃" meaning "advance; charge" (hence the translation to attack)

Watch as critics call it the #1 movie of the year for no reason

So what does Disney have?

That is indeed correctly.
You have:

Code: [Select]

Datablock Report: 
  Base:    424
  Paint:   448
  Add-Ons: 5999
  Music:   142
  Total:   7013

Max is 4096 in total.

So I'd suggest removing some addons ...

Nope, it was increased to 8k a while ago

At least post the Reddit/4chan posts where they actually found out all of this. Also it's like a year? old now.

1. if you have a line of code that needs to longer then generally your code is getting too complicated to the point where you're jamming many parts of an expression onto a single line just because you can (or you're writing NSAPI code forget that)

if you have a function which has so many arguments that it makes callsite lines that long then either 1) don't use so many positional arguments for a function or 2) put arguments on different lines with clear indentation from the first

Usually when ever I go over 80 width, it's generally when I'm writing comments or strings to output. I agree that you shouldn't have like a bazillion things in your function call, but 80 width is still rather short for this time and age.

yes, I know. do you know what default means? because I do, that's why I said it

Oh, you didn't realize that I'm responding to your terrible reasoning with a little less terrible reasons? There's no valid reason to keep an 80 character limit.

I mean like this

You can change the size of the command prompt window

Keep the invalid reasons coming bb

they are used from the command line... which is by default 80 columns wide
the only time they'd ever need to change it is someone not following decent style conventions

What "default" are you using? Barebones linux distros scale properly to the monitor. Providing more than 80 char width for not terribly old monitors

um, plenty of people still use emacs and vim
even for people who don't, preferring the command line to a gui file browser isn't uncommon

Are you implying vim and emacs are restricted to 80 width? Because they're not.

there are 100 reasons this is completely ridiculous, but most importantly is the fact that command prompt/terminal/console/whatever you wanna call it windows are usually 80 characters wide. I don't know why, but that's how it is, and to my knowledge most people keep it that way. with spaces you can make sure they'll be able to see all of your code without moving to their mouse to resize the window or scroll right. with tabs, you can not

Yes, because everyone uses the console window to code.
Name 10 out of your 100 reasons as to why we should still be capped at 80 width.
(Hardmode: no reverse compatibility reasons)

You seem to be completely ignoring the reason for tabs. The point is that you can customize the displayed width of them in the editor you use.
