I graduated to Freecell after I got bored of Solitaire and MineSweeper. Now there are no (non-Allegro) games on here; too much of a distraction. I was still living with a roommate when I deleted that stuff; boy was he pissed (like I cared, it's my box -- |

I rather like the games that come with WinXp As mentioned a thousand times in that thread in game development.... I really hate how you gotta wait for them to make their move sometimes.. heh.. I wish I could just go 4 times in a row if they took too long "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Clearly Roger doesn't know the difference between checkboxes and radio buttons. Anyway I thought he'd already downloaded that stuff. I didn't reply. Roger also contacted my brother on Yahoo Messenger. He "might be comeing up november". He "dono yet". Thank God I'll be in Cambridge then. Quote:

Butting Alleg in the lib has gotta hurt... (He means add 'alleg' to the list of libraries.) There we go, a little bit of research and everything's working! Geez, I directed him to the FAQ earlier - how long did it take him to find the answer in there? That guy should NOT be a coder. And for your entertainment, regarding the abomination that is ":>" -

Argh, I feel your pain. I once taught someone to map.. :O basically all the same emails, but about moving brushes, sectors, and lights. I'm dumb!

30Aug 09 23:12:21 <x_darkdud> vb
31. o O ( *cough* )
32Aug 09 23:12:35 <x_darkdud> i still on djgpp i like it
33Aug 09 23:12:43 <x_darkdud> and this chat is ok as well
34Aug 09 23:13:16 <entheh> what other stuff has your bro written?
35Aug 09 23:13:26 <x_darkdud> erm
36Aug 09 23:13:32 <x_darkdud> port scanners
37Aug 09 23:13:40 <x_darkdud> fire walls
38Aug 09 23:13:47 <x_darkdud> virus scanners
39Aug 09 23:14:05 <entheh> port scanners eh?
40Aug 09 23:14:08 <x_darkdud> Raw data tools
41Aug 09 23:14:11 <x_darkdud> yup
42Aug 09 23:14:27 <entheh> firewalls, virus scanners and the other thing sound as if they're for protection
43Aug 09 23:14:34 <entheh> port scanners are designed to help you hack into a system
44Aug 09 23:14:39 <entheh> how do you explain that?
45Aug 09 23:14:49 <x_darkdud> not allways
46Aug 09 23:15:03 <x_darkdud> you can scann your self to see what ports are open on your system
47Aug 09 23:15:20 <entheh> ok
48. o O ( *cough* right. )
49Aug 09 23:16:34 <x_darkdud> ya now on djgpp
50Aug 09 23:16:46 <entheh> yeah, but I use MinGW too
51Aug 09 23:16:47 <x_darkdud> to run a midi file its like this right?
52Aug 09 23:16:51 <x_darkdud> install_sound(DIGI_AUTODETECT, MIDI_AUTODETECT, );
53Aug 09 23:16:55 <x_darkdud> opps
54Aug 09 23:17:02 <entheh> you need to put a 0 or a NULL in for the last parameter
55Aug 09 23:17:03 <x_darkdud> install_sound(DIGI_AUTODETECT, MIDI_AUTODETECT, 0);
56Aug 09 23:17:05 <entheh> yeah
57Aug 09 23:17:13 <x_darkdud> would this work as well
58Aug 09 23:17:21 <x_darkdud> install_sound(DIGI_AUTODETECT, MIDI_AUTODETECT, NULL);
59Aug 09 23:17:29 <entheh> yep
60Aug 09 23:17:38 <x_darkdud> cos its not playing the midi file
61Aug 09 23:17:58 <entheh> what else did you add?
62Aug 09 23:18:04 <x_darkdud> nothing
63. o O ( gah! )
64Aug 09 23:18:17 <entheh> no load_midi()? play_midi()/
65Aug 09 23:18:20 <entheh> destroy_midi()?
66Aug 09 23:18:27 <entheh> and you expect it to play?
67Aug 09 23:18:27 <entheh> :P
68Aug 09 23:18:29 <x_darkdud> so its like
69Aug 09 23:19:17 <x_darkdud> mainsound = load_midi(d:/a.mid");
70Aug 09 23:19:38 <entheh> no - put the midi file inside your firstgame folder
71Aug 09 23:19:47 <entheh> then just use "a.mid"
72Aug 09 23:19:54 <x_darkdud> i did
73Aug 09 23:20:06 <entheh> then why the d:/ in there?
74Aug 09 23:20:10 <x_darkdud> then i make a sound folder
75Aug 09 23:20:13 <x_darkdud> just ex
76Aug 09 23:20:17 <x_darkdud> ii put
77Aug 09 23:20:21 <x_darkdud> sound/a.mid
78Aug 09 23:20:24 <entheh> ok
79Aug 09 23:20:32 <x_darkdud> and it did not work
80Aug 09 23:20:45 <entheh> what didn't work?
81Aug 09 23:20:54 <x_darkdud> it did not play the midi file
82Aug 09 23:21:02 <entheh> ok, so it did compile and link?
83Aug 09 23:21:07 <x_darkdud> yup
84Aug 09 23:21:14 <entheh> you forgot something
85Aug 09 23:21:17 <x_darkdud> no erorrs or warnings
86Aug 09 23:21:17 <entheh> and it's in the docs
87Aug 09 23:21:22 <entheh> you've loaded the file
88Aug 09 23:21:25 <entheh> you haven't told it to play yet
89Aug 09 23:21:37 <x_darkdud> havent i
90Aug 09 23:21:38 <entheh> I'm not gonna give you the code - you need to look through the
91 docs and find out what to do
92Aug 09 23:21:44 <x_darkdud> lol
93Aug 09 23:21:52 <x_darkdud> ah
94Aug 09 23:21:55 <x_darkdud> would this work
95Aug 09 23:22:25 <x_darkdud> install_sound(DIGI_AUTODETECT, MIDI_AUTODETECT, NULL);
96Aug 09 23:22:29 <x_darkdud> opps
97Aug 09 23:22:35 <x_darkdud> wait 1 min
98Aug 09 23:23:15 <entheh> RHIDE has a 'copy to windows clipboard' option in the Edit menu
99Aug 09 23:24:01 <x_darkdud> if (mainsound) play_sample(mainsound, 255, 128, 1000, 1);
100. o O ( /me rolls eyes )
101Aug 09 23:24:27 <entheh> try it
102Aug 09 23:24:27 <x_darkdud> would that play it
103Aug 09 23:24:29 <x_darkdud> ok
104Aug 09 23:24:33 <x_darkdud> 1min
105Aug 09 23:25:45 <x_darkdud> it dose not work
106Aug 09 23:25:57 <entheh> exactly as I expected
107Aug 09 23:26:00 <x_darkdud> o
108Aug 09 23:26:03 <entheh> MIDI and SAMPLE aren't the same thing
109Aug 09 23:26:09 <entheh> look through the docs for another function
110Aug 09 23:26:20 <x_darkdud> ok
111Aug 09 23:26:52 <x_darkdud> umm
112Aug 09 23:27:05 <x_darkdud> how about this
113Aug 09 23:29:10 <x_darkdud> mainsound = play_midi(mainsound, 255, 128 , 1000, 1);
114. o O ( nnngh!!! )
115Aug 09 23:29:21 <entheh> try it
116Aug 09 23:29:26 <x_darkdud> lol
117Aug 09 23:29:27 <x_darkdud> ok
118Aug 09 23:30:22 <x_darkdud> nope i got load of erros
119Aug 09 23:30:27 <x_darkdud> it did not like it
120Aug 09 23:30:35 <entheh> thought so
121. o O ( ha! )
122Aug 09 23:30:42 <entheh> now look up play_midi and find out what parameters it takes
123Aug 09 23:30:59 <x_darkdud> its weard tho
124Aug 09 23:31:02 <x_darkdud> i dont get it
125Aug 09 23:31:08 <entheh> makes perfect sense to me
126Aug 09 23:32:05 <x_darkdud> int play_midi(MIDI *midi, int loop);
127Aug 09 23:32:10 <x_darkdud> i do not get that
128Aug 09 23:32:12 <x_darkdud> lol
129Aug 09 23:32:17 <entheh> ok
130Aug 09 23:32:36 <entheh> you've got a variable that matches the first parameter
131Aug 09 23:32:39 <entheh> it's: MIDI *mainsound;
132Aug 09 23:32:44 <entheh> so you can pass 'mainsound' there
133Aug 09 23:32:56 <x_darkdud> ok
134Aug 09 23:32:57 <x_darkdud> like
135Aug 09 23:32:58 <entheh> if you read the docs, it'll tell you how 'loop' works
136Aug 09 23:33:09 <entheh> 'int loop' means it expects you to pass an int there
137Aug 09 23:33:15 <entheh> a number can be an int
138Aug 09 23:33:26 <x_darkdud> o
139Aug 09 23:33:42 <entheh> but you need to read the docs to find out what the number means
140Aug 09 23:33:50 <x_darkdud> plz dude
141Aug 09 23:34:08 <x_darkdud> i have not been doing it for long
142Aug 09 23:34:25 <x_darkdud> can you plz just give me the code plz :(
143Aug 09 23:34:27 <entheh> "If the loop flag is set"
144Aug 09 23:34:29 <entheh> from the docs
145Aug 09 23:34:31 <entheh> right
146Aug 09 23:34:38 <x_darkdud> flag?
147Aug 09 23:34:38 <entheh> a 'flag' is a true or false value
148Aug 09 23:34:42 <x_darkdud> ok
149Aug 09 23:34:43 <entheh> 0 means false
150Aug 09 23:34:49 <entheh> any other number (usually 1 though) means true
151Aug 09 23:35:02 <entheh> set = true
152Aug 09 23:35:06 <entheh> you should be able to do it now
153Aug 09 23:35:07 <x_darkdud> so its like
154Aug 09 23:35:27 <x_darkdud> play_midi(mainsound , 1);
155Aug 09 23:35:29 <x_darkdud> that is not it
156Aug 09 23:35:38 <x_darkdud> thats just stupid
157. o O ( ugh... )
158Aug 09 23:35:45 <entheh> why is it stupid?
159Aug 09 23:35:48 <entheh> have you even tried it yet?
160Aug 09 23:35:59 <x_darkdud> not yet
161Aug 09 23:36:06 <entheh> tell me, why is it stupid?
162Aug 09 23:36:29 <x_darkdud> it just dont look right at all
163Aug 09 23:36:43 <entheh> how do you know? you haven't been doing it for long
164Aug 09 23:36:44 <entheh> :P
165Aug 09 23:36:52 <x_darkdud> lol
166. o O ( stop saying lol, it's not funny it's bloody annoying! )
167Aug 09 23:36:58 <x_darkdud> can you plz just tell em the code
168Aug 09 23:37:01 <x_darkdud> plz
169Aug 09 23:37:04 <x_darkdud> :D
170Aug 09 23:37:06 <entheh> grrrrrr
171Aug 09 23:37:09 <entheh> just TRY IT
172Aug 09 23:37:09 <x_darkdud> lol
173. o O ( AAAARGH! )
174Aug 09 23:37:14 <x_darkdud> i will try it
175Aug 09 23:39:12 <x_darkdud> it did not work
176Aug 09 23:39:18 <x_darkdud> i got a warning
177Aug 09 23:39:25 <entheh> what warning did you get?
178Aug 09 23:39:31 <entheh> quote it please
179Aug 09 23:39:37 <x_darkdud> ok
180Aug 09 23:40:22 <x_darkdud> passing arg 1 og 'play_midi' form incompleate pointer type
181. o O ( nice quote )
182Aug 09 23:40:27 <x_darkdud> this is what i put
183Aug 09 23:40:28 <x_darkdud> if (mainsound) play_midi(mainsound , 1);
184Aug 09 23:40:46 <entheh> in that case you should have got a warning on the load_midi line too
185Aug 09 23:41:22 <entheh> let's see your load_midi line plz
186Aug 09 23:41:31 <x_darkdud> load
187Aug 09 23:41:32 <x_darkdud> i got
188Aug 09 23:41:49 <x_darkdud> this is what i got for main sound
189Aug 09 23:41:53 <x_darkdud> mainsound = load_sample("a.mid");
190. o O ( not very thorough, are we )
191Aug 09 23:42:04 <entheh> a.mid isn't a sample
192Aug 09 23:42:05 <x_darkdud> no load midi
193Aug 09 23:42:08 <entheh> you shouldn't be using load_sample on it
194Aug 09 23:42:10 <entheh> it'll fail
195Aug 09 23:42:18 <entheh> look for a function other than load_sample
196Aug 09 23:42:21 <entheh> you should be able to guess the name
197Aug 09 23:42:22 <x_darkdud> ok
198Aug 09 23:42:29 <x_darkdud> so its like
199Aug 09 23:42:35 <x_darkdud> mainsound = load_midi("a.mid");
200Aug 09 23:42:40 <entheh> try it
201Aug 09 23:42:43 <x_darkdud> ok
202Aug 09 23:45:53 <x_darkdud> i got warning on]
203Aug 09 23:46:05 <x_darkdud> mainsound = load_sample("a.mid");
204Aug 09 23:46:08 <x_darkdud> it says
205Aug 09 23:46:35 <x_darkdud> assignment incompatible pointer type
206. o O ( ah, he's learnt to spell 'incompatible'! )
207Aug 09 23:46:45 <entheh> JUST as I expected :P
208. o O ( HA!! )
209Aug 09 23:46:51 <x_darkdud> lol
210. o O ( grr... )
211Aug 09 23:46:51 <entheh> now read the docs for load_midi
212Aug 09 23:47:01 <x_darkdud> ok
213Aug 09 23:47:02 <entheh> note that it says:
214Aug 09 23:47:14 <entheh> MIDI *load_midi(const char *filename);
215Aug 09 23:47:22 <entheh> the MIDI * is the important bit
216Aug 09 23:47:26 <entheh> your variable must much
217Aug 09 23:47:28 <entheh> uh
218Aug 09 23:47:30 <entheh> your variable must match
219Aug 09 23:47:33 <entheh> so change
220Aug 09 23:47:35 <x_darkdud> the MIDI is = to mainsound?
221. o O ( Please to beink askink questions coherently. )
222Aug 09 23:47:38 <entheh> SAMPLE *mainsound;
223Aug 09 23:47:43 <entheh> to something else
224Aug 09 23:48:31 <x_darkdud> so like
225Aug 09 23:48:48 <entheh> and try it before asking me
226Aug 09 23:48:54 <x_darkdud> ok
227Aug 09 23:50:14 <x_darkdud> umm
228Aug 09 23:50:20 <x_darkdud> i can not think what to put
229Aug 09 23:50:48 <entheh> MIDI *load_midi(const char *filename); <-- this says that load_midi returns MIDI *
230Aug 09 23:50:56 <entheh> so your variable must be a MIDI *
231Aug 09 23:50:59 <entheh> now do you know what to put?
232Aug 09 23:51:31 <x_darkdud> my head dude i have only been doing C\C++ for about 2 week
233Aug 09 23:51:35 <x_darkdud> lol
234. o O ( wimp )
235Aug 09 23:51:49 <entheh> MIDI *mainsound;
236Aug 09 23:51:55 <entheh> you should've been able to do that
237Aug 09 23:52:40 <x_darkdud> i forgot about the variables
238. o O ( uh, HELLO? what were we just talking about for the last few minutes? )
239Aug 09 23:52:51 <x_darkdud> ok i have changed it to
240Aug 09 23:53:02 <x_darkdud> static MIDI *mainsound;
241. o O ( I told him to make all the variables static when I was writing the code for him. )
242Aug 09 23:53:08 <entheh> ok
243Aug 09 23:53:09 <entheh> now try it
244Aug 09 23:54:18 <x_darkdud> i should change this shouldnt i
245Aug 09 23:54:21 <x_darkdud> if (mainsound) play_midi(mainsound, 255, 128, 1000, 0);
246Aug 09 23:54:37 <x_darkdud> too many arguments to function
247. o O ( trust your teacher you dimwit )
248Aug 09 23:54:50 <entheh> I thought you'd already changed that...
249Aug 09 23:54:57 <x_darkdud> what to
250Aug 09 23:55:01 <entheh> you had it earlier
251Aug 09 23:55:03 <entheh> scroll up
252Aug 09 23:55:37 <x_darkdud> what this
253Aug 09 23:55:41 <x_darkdud> play_midi(mainsound , 1);
254Aug 09 23:55:43 <entheh> yep
255Aug 09 23:55:48 <x_darkdud> that wa sit
256Aug 09 23:55:52 <x_darkdud> it*
257Aug 09 23:56:01 <x_darkdud> i though that was worng when i thoght about it
258Aug 09 23:56:07 <x_darkdud> ok i will try that
259Aug 09 23:57:03 <x_darkdud> no errors
260Aug 09 23:57:08 <x_darkdud> but it still not work
261Aug 09 23:57:24 <entheh> in that case maybe you can't get MIDI on DOS
262Aug 09 23:57:35 <entheh> send me the .c file if you like - I'll test it for you
263Aug 09 23:57:41 <x_darkdud> ok
264Aug 09 23:57:52 <entheh> actually zip it all up for me
265Aug 09 23:57:59 <entheh> so I've got the datafiles
266Aug 09 23:58:47 <x_darkdud> ok
267Aug 09 23:58:55 <entheh> to send the file:
268Aug 09 23:58:58 <x_darkdud> 1min
269Aug 09 23:59:07 <entheh> /dcc send entheh c:\firstgame.zip
270Aug 09 23:59:14 <entheh> obviously specify the right path
271. o O ( "obviously"? )
272Aug 10 00:07:27 <x_darkdud> ok
273Aug 10 00:08:08 <x_darkdud> was that right
274Aug 10 00:08:16 <entheh> no, because I didn't get anything
275Aug 10 00:08:25 <x_darkdud> its
276. o O ( MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS! )
277Aug 10 00:08:28 <entheh> what did you type, and what did you see on the screen?
278Aug 10 00:08:37 <entheh> (type a space before the / in order to show me what it was)
279Aug 10 00:08:49 <x_darkdud> so iys
280Aug 10 00:09:20 <x_darkdud> so its dcc C:\game.zip
281. o O ( nnnnnngh! )
282Aug 10 00:09:30 <entheh> you missed out 'send'
283Aug 10 00:09:33 <entheh> you also missed out 'entheh'
284Aug 10 00:09:36 <entheh> read what I wrote
285Aug 10 00:09:40 <entheh> <entheh> /dcc send entheh c:\firstgame.zip
286
287Then I actually received the file.
288
289Aug 10 00:10:28 <entheh> that worked, thanks
290Aug 10 00:10:34 <x_darkdud> ok
291Aug 10 00:10:39 <x_darkdud> it should just run
292Aug 10 00:10:44 <x_darkdud> strait from the folder
293Aug 10 00:11:19 <x_darkdud> i like midi files cos
294Aug 10 00:11:27 <x_darkdud> i have got 100s what would suit my game
295
296I looked through his code. Everything seemed to be in order.
297Then I ran the thing. The MIDI worked. Ripped from somewhere, of course (it's either
298in Secret of Mana or it's been used in Fenix Blade).
299
300There was a human reproductive organ protruding from one of the characters' foreheads.
301
302Aug 10 00:15:30 <entheh> it works
303Aug 10 00:15:32 <entheh> I get MIDI music
304Aug 10 00:15:41 <x_darkdud> you do
305Aug 10 00:15:42 <entheh> so there's nothing wrong with your code
306Aug 10 00:15:48 <x_darkdud> it plays on yours
307Aug 10 00:15:49 <entheh> yep
308Aug 10 00:15:54 <entheh> well done for putting destroy_midi() in
309Aug 10 00:16:01 <x_darkdud> what dos should i get
310. o O ( THAT belongs on www.rinkworks.com/stupid/ . )
311Aug 10 00:16:17 <entheh> it's more a question of what sound card you should get
312Aug 10 00:16:23 <x_darkdud> was that well done sas in weldone or
313. o O ( hmm I didn't see the above line before... watch him remove it now :P )
314Aug 10 00:16:27 <entheh> do you get sound at all by the way?
315Aug 10 00:16:36 <entheh> do the play_sample() calls generate any sound?
316Aug 10 00:16:41 <x_darkdud> nope
317Aug 10 00:16:53 <x_darkdud> what dos have you got
318Aug 10 00:17:00 <x_darkdud> ive got
319. o O ( ugh! LEARN TO READ )
320Aug 10 00:17:15 <entheh> probably the same as you
321Aug 10 00:17:22 <entheh> <entheh> it's more a question of what sound card you should get
322Aug 10 00:17:25 <x_darkdud> so whats wrong?
323Aug 10 00:17:41 <x_darkdud> um
324Aug 10 00:17:44 <x_darkdud> its play em ok
325Aug 10 00:17:48 <x_darkdud> with vb games
326Aug 10 00:18:04 <entheh> VB creates Windows executables
327Aug 10 00:18:06 <entheh> DJGPP creates DOS ones
328Aug 10 00:18:09 <entheh> I thought you already knew that
329. o O ( I told him that, didn't I tell him that? )
330Aug 10 00:18:10 <x_darkdud> o
331Aug 10 00:18:23 <x_darkdud> i thogh it wad the same
332Aug 10 00:18:35 <entheh> did you ever get Allegro working with Visual C++?
333Aug 10 00:18:37 <x_darkdud> how would i make mid files into wav
334Aug 10 00:18:40 <entheh> if you can do that, you'll probably get MIDI
335Aug 10 00:18:47 <entheh> you can't make midi files into wav files - sorry
336. o O ( slight fib, but I'm NOT going to download his 500 MB game... )
337. o O ( anyway I thought he didn't get sound at all )
338Aug 10 00:18:51 <x_darkdud> no
339Aug 10 00:18:55 <x_darkdud> it was to hard
340. o O ( I suppose subscribing to [AL] was too hard as well then eh? )
341Aug 10 00:19:06 <entheh> I suggest you make do without MIDI for now
342Aug 10 00:19:13 <x_darkdud> darn
343Aug 10 00:19:19 <x_darkdud> i have like 120 of them
344Aug 10 00:19:24 <x_darkdud> what will suit my game
345. o O ( all of 'em ripped )
346Aug 10 00:19:29 <entheh> try and get it working with Visual C++
347Aug 10 00:19:33 <entheh> if you can't get it working now, try later
348Aug 10 00:19:37 <x_darkdud> it weard tho
349Aug 10 00:19:49 <entheh> I also directed you to the Allegro mailing list
350Aug 10 00:19:52 <x_darkdud> it tells you to put include in the dir
351Aug 10 00:19:52 <entheh> you should be able to ask them for help
352Aug 10 00:20:00 <x_darkdud> when there is allready 1 there
353Aug 10 00:20:08 <entheh> you probably didn't read it carefully enough
354Aug 10 00:20:15 <x_darkdud> i show you
355Aug 10 00:20:16 <x_darkdud> 1min
356Aug 10 00:20:19 <entheh> no point
357Aug 10 00:20:19 <x_darkdud> the text
358Aug 10 00:20:22 <entheh> oh ok
359Aug 10 00:20:28 <entheh> I don't have Visual C++ though
360Aug 10 00:20:31 <entheh> so there's only so much I can do
361Aug 10 00:20:37 <entheh> why didn't you ask on the Allegro mailing list?
362Aug 10 00:20:40 <entheh> that's what I told you to do
363Aug 10 00:20:55 <x_darkdud> um
364Aug 10 00:20:59 <x_darkdud> well this is what it said
365Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> Allegro 4.0.2 - July 3rd, 2002
366Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> MSVC Package, Distributed by Allegro.cc
367Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> * SETUP *
368Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> To install, just click on the install.bat file.
369Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> If that does not work, then you will need to copy the 'include' and 'lib'
370Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> folders to your 'VC98' folder. The three DLLs will need to be copied to
371Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> your Windows system folder.
372Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> * HOW TO USE *
373Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> Read this document:
374Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> http://www.allegro.cc/docs/windows-msvc-use.html
375Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> It really does tell you how to use Allegro with MSVC.
376Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> * OTHER THINGS TO GET *
377Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> Make sure you download the manual from www.allegro.cc. The CHM version
378Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> is the nicest.
379Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> Download the example files from www.allegro.cc if you want to see how to
380Aug 10 00:21:03 <x_darkdud> do a lot of cool stuff with Allegro.
381Aug 10 00:21:18 <entheh> yes
382Aug 10 00:21:20 <entheh> just as I thought
383Aug 10 00:21:22 <x_darkdud> ok
384Aug 10 00:21:34 <entheh> "you will need to copy the 'include' and 'lib' folders to your
385 'VC98' folder"
386Aug 10 00:21:35 <x_darkdud> but i allready had a lib and include folder
387Aug 10 00:21:38 <entheh> of course it did
388Aug 10 00:21:40 <entheh> you need to copy them
389Aug 10 00:21:42 <entheh> read what it says
390Aug 10 00:21:43 <entheh> :P
391Aug 10 00:21:48 <x_darkdud> but
392Aug 10 00:21:52 <x_darkdud> i allready have
393Aug 10 00:22:09 <x_darkdud> a include folder in there nad a lib folder in there

396Aug 10 00:22:28 <entheh> ok
397Aug 10 00:22:31 <entheh> that sounds right
398Aug 10 00:22:43 <x_darkdud> and it is asking me to [put an other 1 in ther it will not let me
399Aug 10 00:22:54 <entheh> when you copy folder A over folder B, the files in A will be _added_
400 to the files in B
401Aug 10 00:22:56 <entheh> that's what it means
402Aug 10 00:23:01 <entheh> and that's what you need to do
403. o O ( ugh )
404Aug 10 00:23:14 <x_darkdud> i will try it
405Aug 10 00:23:20 <entheh> ok
406Aug 10 00:23:22 <entheh> and if you have trouble
407Aug 10 00:23:35 <entheh> don't come to me, because I won't be able to solve many problems
408 with Visual C++

It was tough enough reading that, congrats on being able to continue the conversation. I had a friend who sat next to me in programming class. He's a good friend who was in programming with me since grade 10, and he usually got it ok, but by grade 12, it all seemed to be over his head. So throughout almost the whole year I spent more time helping him with his projects than I spent on mine (it was ok because I usually got the projects done early, the class was REALLY easy). At first I wanted him to figure it out for himself, but by the end of the year I would just take the keyboard and do it for him. It saved me a lot of time |
