Completely Unrelated / Whats your level of experience??
« on: 2006-04-28 11:53:11 »
Varies here.
- I have started on on PP03 where I did not know what to do except play Katakana (or what was the game's name).
- Then I got a C64 (8bit computer) where I was playing mostly, and programming in Basic only a little.
- Then we had PMD84 (8bit computer) in school where I was learning QBasic for a 1/2 year
- after that I got finally to PC. I was learning Dos QBasic for 1 year
- then I discovered Pascal which I was using for 2-3 years
- also I was interested in assembler for 2 years approx ... coding, debugging, cracking and stuff
- then on one day when Pascal showed me an error message "Code segment too large" I decided its time to move on, and I started programming in C. And then I went into C++, win32api, MFC, OpenGl, UML, and stuff ... various compilers and developement tools ... its approx 5 years since I started with C and 11 years since I started toying with computers generally.

to L.Spiro's answer:
Spoiler: show

Try checking it in your compiler. Mine (MSVC 2005) does think that 3.0 double is an answer. I have checked it with this kind of test:

void fn( double d ) {  printf( "double %0.3f", d );  }
void fn( int d )  {  printf( "int %i", d );  }

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
   fn( ( 1 < 2 ) ? 3 : 4.0 );
   return 0;
}

Result printed on screen was: "double 3.000"

1: 61
2: i = 1 because it jumps out of the comparison after first false argument
3: j = 2
4: no idea. it could be 1 because of sizeof( int ) = 4 in these days.
5: i = 3. i would say it gets assigned an afterwards increased.
6: no idea but i hope for god's sake that I is increased before comparison so J = 1
7: i refuse to continue !


my comment:
dumb constructions ! allways use parenthesis and readable form of formulaes to avoid misunderstanding and these kinds of questions !
I am a 6-year veteran ;) and I never use these constructs because they are leading only to misunderstandings, not to faster code. Easy code readability is important to me.  That's why such knowledge should not be important.


I have one for you too. What is result of the expression ? Is it int or float ?

 ( 1 < 2 ) ? 3 : 4.0

Wow borde, you made those models just by moving vertices and recolouring ? That's some great job !

FF7 Tools / FF7 models to 3ds Max
« on: 2006-04-19 13:15:34 »
Please show me a list of the file formats that 3ds Max 8 can load, so I can tell you which would be suitable. So far older 3DS maxes supported formats were lacking some important features to load FF7 files.

About importer - no idea, you might have to search the net, or find someone who can recompile the plugin for newer 3DS max.

Ah too much to read, but here is a link to the conspiracy theory movie which I think is not mentioned. http://www.matrix-2001.cz/v2/files/video/bush.asf

There are some actually, but they work only on Fairy dollars, which you - of course - don't have.

I wish the DJ's would play breakcore more often on drum'n'bass party nights.

Granted, but someone hacked into your account and posted it here for you. Not counting other things he posted on the forums under your name. ;)

I wish I was invisible when I choose to.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Vertex issues with FF7 16 bit signed ints?
« on: 2006-03-14 12:26:08 »
my guess is
- you're overwriting memory
- you calculate wrong offset when moving to next bone
- you calculate wrong vertex indexes

interesting is that colours look correct (on tifa), just the vertex positions / or polygon - vertex indexes are messed up.

Granted, you have one that works in 66666 x 66666 x 47bit, but sadly none of the operating systems nor games support it. You can change it only for one of resolution 66666 x 66666 x 66666 x 2 bit which is not suported either.

I wish I had an colour holoprojector.

TonkaTaru: No there is no such program. By the way people here don't like when you revive threads that are dead (which are not discussed for a long time). Next time better create new thread instead.

But I wish one too :)

I wish for a beautiful real life anime catgirl!

Granted, but EU wins the war over terorristic USA, and dollars cease to exist.

I wish I had my very own functional personal teleport which would teleport me anywhere I wanted anytime.

Granted, but each is marked with the special colour which is used to mark money stolen from banks.

I wish my notebook would be working once again.

I wish I had holiday for 2 months.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / 8 bit pallete textures
« on: 2006-02-08 11:51:44 »
Do you want to know about 8bit palette textures in general or in relation to FF7 / 8 ?

In my opinion FF with 8bit textures enabled should look exactly or very similair like truecolor mode.

L.Spiro: I got into same mood for last two-three months, but you have to fight it back. I do not want to give up programming, I just don't have the will/ apetite for it. Now its getting back slowly, so I can continue on my projects.

Just fight it back if you want to enjoy it once again.

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Oddity???
« on: 2006-01-10 11:37:44 »
Some code speedup:
- no need to call pow(), simple multiplying can be faster
- don't call data->GetLength() multiple times (in every cycle loop), when it can be called only once .. you can see speedup especially in case of larger arrays of data
- why using floating point number 'double' when the result is an integer ? also using floating point for a loop counter and indexer is a nonsense.
- reason why you see 4294967295 instead of -1 is that you are multiplying  0xFF * 256 in every loop instead of treating it as -1

Code: [Select]

String ^FileEditor::BinaryToNumber(array<Byte> ^data)
{
   String ^strTmp;
   integer dblTmp;
   integer i, c;

   c = data->GetLength(0);
   dblTmp = 0;

   for (i=0 ; i <c; i++ )
   {
      dblTmp = dblTmp * 256;
      dblTmp = dblTmp + data[i];
   }

   // here you should check if the number is negative (depending on its bits)

   strTmp = dblTmp.ToString();
   return strTmp;
}


but in fact, fastest and best way is to copy/read the data into the proper data type.

Code: [Select]

this code is in C++ syntax because I don't understand the language you're using properly

String* FileEditor::BinaryToNumber( BYTE *data)
{
   long int  *li;   // this should be pointer to the 32bit integer number, which can contain numbers from -2 147 483 648 to 2 147 483 647
   String strTmp;

   li = (long int*)data;

   strTmp = li->ToString();
   return strTmp;
}

but this process can be done in many ways, depends on your implementation. Consult your help about this, you should find some advice there.

Hello Kazary, welcome to the boards !
I recommend to look through the boards, mainly on the stickied threads in every category and then to use the search feature as Zack suggested.
