General Discussion / Re: Datablock limit

« on: September 14, 2010, 02:13:08 PM »

Weird, because datablocks start at object ID 3. Objects 0, 1, and 2 don't exist.

That id is irrelevant, there's a different number system within the engine for datablocks. Imagine the real id of a datablock being whatever position it is within the DataBlockGroup SimGroup.

I would hope this thread hasn't actually dissuaded anyone from posting their suggestion. Discouraging creativity is a stupid thing to do.

The limit is: 0001000000000000

Funfact: It's actually 111111111111 - the address limit (i.e. the max datablock index) is 4095 but the total number of datablocks that can be referenced is 4096 because a zero still counts.

It's not feasible to make bricks obstruct light, especially since dynamic lights are being used.

I've cleared out the two pages of stuffposting for you.

It really bugs me that people think they need to configure a static IP for port forwarding. Any sort of modern router has a LAN IP reservation feature to assign you the same IP based on your MAC address.

Modification Help / Re: How to check if a string variable has nothing?

« on: September 14, 2010, 01:55:44 AM »

I'm not sure I understood what you just said.

If it's a string, you have to use $= ""
if you just use == 0 it will always be true because trying to convert a string to a number will always be 0

If the string begins with something numeric (e.g. 1234cow) it'd be converted to an integer of 1234 for an integer comparison.

If you have RTB, go to "Your Mods" in the Mod Manager and expand the Content Only section, and download the ones you want.

Furling, you're disabled. I should be able to pity disabled people yet I find myself wishing more disabilities on you. Please cut this crap out. We get it, you're deaf, you can't type - move along now.

Try testing what I suggested but on a dedicated server. If it doesn't work then that's a bummer, but if it does then the issue is just with the fact that you're running the server locally.

Oh dear, I misspelled gather, how terrible.

Yeah, but I mean "garner" would have been way more appropriate. Given how distraught you were when I mentioned your first typo I figured it'd be worth pointing out how inappropriate "gather" was in the following sentence:

Being deaf doesn't gather you any special rights here

I'd go for "entitle ... to" instead. I hope this helps!

Can you make this happen right now? If you can, enable RTB, type trace(1); in the console and make it happen, then send me the console.log file. I should be able to debug it from that.

Another glitch:
On some servers, when trying to join the load freezes before it starts, at 'Waiting for Server' the first time, then 'Loading Mission' all others. The players on the server, as i found, can hear me - but i see no chat updates. Playerlist is empty when there's like 4 people. I tried resetting BL, no.
Then...
I disabled RTB, and it let me join just liak dat.
So, i'm assuming this is a RTB glitch.

« on: September 13, 2010, 03:44:43 AM »

I don't know if Randy is ever going to return and do anything with the duplicator but if he doesn't then I may look into re-doing it (probably with the ability to save to the client) when I have the time. I have a few cool ideas to make it a whole load better and easier to use.
