My mom's laptop won't boot
I can't get into BIOS to mess with boot order, I turn it on, it flashes the Samsung logo for like .1 seconds then immediately says "reboot and select boot device or insert boot media in selected drive and press a key"

ok nevermind i just held a bunch of f keys while booting

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Blockland Efficiency Mods?

« on: August 18, 2015, 06:58:16 PM »

How much RAM players use in a server, Wicked's RAM usage was quite high per player, causing more usage of the servers power for large amount of players. Thus taking more bandwidth from the server itself. As well in mining servers when people drill. The RAM it takes for the ghosting drilling and bombs.etc isn't that bad, but for how fast things load and render it seems like its a lot of RAM for so little. I'm not sure how restricted Blockland is with RAM usage, but I do believe being more efficient would negate more issues like these.

You're mixing server, client, networking, RAM, and graphical rendering all into one thing...that's really not at all how this works

I voted no out of lack of a better option. Not because I don't want it, but because it can't be done


As far as the bot thing...I'm really not sure what you're trying to accomplish

Also, don't call back every day despite what your parents say. Businesses don't like that stuff.

There's a fine balance because some people may find not calling back at all to be disinterest

Depends on the job though, someone hiring for a movie theater most likely doesn't have time to drag it out like that, they'll often just grab a couple interviews and make a decision within a few days. Deciding on the spot to hire the first good candidate isn't uncommon either


Also, a lot of the interview advice things you find online seem more oriented towards career positions, unskilled/part-time/minimum wage positions usually aren't like that. The interview for my first job was basically just basically just like 5 minutes getting to know me, then "ok this is the position I have, do you want it?"

And

don't forget that %client.name is deprecated and %client.getPlayerName() should be used instead

so should I add if(%client.admin) ?

Just stick it in with the same if block as addvelocity
Also your addvelocity call still needs to be target, not client

Also when you announce who has been flung and when you actually add their velocity you're doing it to the player who typed the command, not your target.

Also similarly, you're checking if the player who typed the command exists, rather than the player you're trying to fling.

Your findClientByName call is going to have to be the first thing to do if you're checking if the player object exists first

EDIT: oh wait, you are checking if %target exists, I didn't see that. That should be %target.player, though, and the isObject check on %client.player isn't needed unless being unusable if you're not spawned is the logic you want. And the(%client, %target) in the addVelocity call doesn't do anything but cause errors. The arguments are just "0 0 255"

And you can get rid of all the arguments except %client and %word1 (which I'd remember to something more descriptive, like targetname or victim) since you're not doing anything with them

Probably. The straight people would report it if it was gay, and the gay people would report it if it was straight.

There's plenty of people who would report it either way

What GPU do you have?

I've never used After Effects but I think the way it works is if you don't have a CUDA-enabled GPU (or AMD's equivalent if you have an AMD card) it'll use CPU for rendering instead.
Older or lower-end GPUs don't have CUDA, and based off your description of Garry's Mod performance, I'm guessing your GPU fits in that group

It's probably also optimized more for workstation cards like Quadro/FirePro than gaming cards like GeForce/Radeon

but since object IDs are strictly nonnegative it would be difficult to test which.

Or it's just

stopping after the first non-numerical character.

wouldn't 12345.67.delete(); try to delete a variable 67 of object 12345?

No, because identifier names can not begin with a number
