<0> terrain looks like an artist spent 6 months traveling every acre of the rediculos sized world and hand crafted it all.. best terrain ever
<1> have you played Shadow of the Colossus?
<0> charactors themselves are some of the most configurable I've come across yet
<0> no I haven't
<1> that's a rather interesting game visually
<0> if you like the RPG genre (and honestly, I don't.. L2 and WoW being the exception), take a look at the free trial for WoW
<0> it sort of makes your penis shrink as a programmer to think you'd have to compete with this game
<1> lol
<1> that's something i don't worry about
<1> competing
<0> not really cause it can't be any better.. it can... but they already have so much going for them, to enhance the small rough edges is simple for them
<1> it's not that i think i'm awesome, it's that games stand alone even in genres
<1> it's either a good game or not
<0> yeah they have a die-hard storyline that limits what they can do.. so it's possible to compete even if you wanted to
<2> ominous, penis size doesn't matter for free online games
<1> so my goal is not to make a game better than another game
<1> it's to make a game that people will enjoy
<2> MerZikain, WoW ain't free
<1> suv4x4: i know
<0> suv4x4: tell that to all the drunken chicks on playpoker.com
<3> how do you create FLV files?
<2> ominous, they're not chicks, they're actually bold fat middle aged men
<3> MerZikain: do you know?
<2> _wicked_, export them from the FLV exporter..
<1> i haven't worked with flv
<0> lolz
<1> brb, gotta go rip some struts off of a car
<2> _wicked_, also I think you can save them from the FLA to external file from the props
<3> alright
<3> what about sorenson squeeze
<0> SS is pretty good
<2> and I'll install SP2 on my Virtual PC so I can install the latest IE7 leak ... oops.
<0> though they ****ed up with version 4.3 and although it's a 'feature' the source aspect ratio is defaultly set to custom and screws your movie up unless you set it appropriately
<3> i see
<3> i set those anyways
<3> going from DV to PC you should need to set them up
<0> you do if you're used to seeing it
<0> I've used SS since 3.5 years agoand aspect ratio is brand new (within the last month)
<3> really
<3> iv never used it before the last couple weeks
<0> I have tons of presets.. I just updated SS, loaded a few videos to crunch and let it batch.. then checked the batch and all the movies were 32 pixels wide
<0> cause the default aspect ratio is custom and it doesn't auto-sniff aspect ratio (as if it's a hard thing)
<0> sorenson is ALWAYS screwing at least 1 thing up.. however the file size and quality are often worth the h***le
<0> FWIW I can't hear any audio at all out of SS on a macintosh when I use the uncompressed audio option.. doesn't really make any sense to me if it's truely uncompressed but it comes out like a loud*** hiss
<3> lolz
<0> anyone know when mjau-mjau usually pops in?
<4> is it possible to load a png file dynamically without building an swf around it?
<0> a'course
<0> loadMovie FTW
<4> do I need flash 8 to do it?
<0> no, flash 4 and up
<2> Jiffe, he's basically lying :)
<0> all liez
<2> Jiffe, you need flash 6 or better to load JPG, and Flash 8 to load progressive JPG, GIF or PNG
<0> I'm ***uming your flash document size is one set size a'course..
<0> http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary423.html
<0> loadMovie
<0> Availability
<0> Flash Player 3.
<0>
<0> spam FTL
<0> I don't even recall it in tellTarget land that was flash 3
<5> i have a function that loads data from an xml file
<0> no you don't
<5> the problem is that the xml file is modified by the server that is hosting the file
<5> it is a free webhosting
<0> and changes permissions
<0> d'oh
<1> booyah
<1> new struts
<0> on what car
<5> it changes the xml file and adds the following code in the begining of the file: <script language='JavaScript' src='http://www.3x.ro/banners/show.php'></script>;
<1> now i don't need that ****in 2x4 to prop my hatch open
<1> ominous: my mustang
<1> hatch struts
<0> ah sweet
<0> ahhh
<5> is there any way i can trick this and make flash skip that one first line of code when reading from the xml file ?
<0> notchback 8(
<0> Zdrenga: your data is returned and then you have an opportunity to parse it however you like.. including always ignoring the first piece of XML data returned
<1> crown vic?
<0> you gotta sniff it out
<0> mustang LX 5.0 notchback
<1> ex police? O_o
<0> yep
<1> that's interesting
<1> never heard o that
<0> one key for all doors/ignition/trunk
<0> reinforced floor boards
<0> remote oil cooler
<0> etc
<5> ominous, this is how the xml file looks like : http://www.fcmvioleteagles.3x.ro/xyz .... don't worry about the extension, i changed it for test
<1> got pics?
<0> lemme check if I still have any
<5> in the function i have this: players_number = mainNode.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
<1> i have pictures of mine but they're from before i did any work to it
<1> brb
<5> but players_number is returned NaN, instead of 24, like it is supposed
<5> can you please tell me how can i trick that ?
<0> http://rilancenter.com.phtemp.com/files/ominstang.jpg :(
<0> I don't think I have any real pics left
<5> ominous, did you read ?
<0> Zdrenga: sec
<0> that's the stang but I dun have any high quality pics of it left online at least
<0> newp I don't have any other pics of it.. do have some of my old*** 93 cobra tho
<5> what flash u using ?
<5> sorry, wrong window
<0> I'm not the strongest with XML in flash Zdrenga. Basicly I don't understand your problem at least ;)
<5> hmmm
<0> aside you're trying to access something and it's undefined when you attempt to
<0> I ***ume you're checking success of the load of the XML of course
<5> so, because of the server, the file is modified; the server adds another line of code, the first line of code : <script language='JavaScript' src='http://www.3x.ro/banners/show.php'></script>;
<0> so you're unable to parse it because of the malformed XML
<0> due to the banner
<5> the file loads succesfully, but it is modified by the server
<0> so it changes the root of the XML
<5> and flash doesn't read it right
<5> yeah, something like that, i'm not good at xml
<0> have you tried asking PHP to access the XML, and letting PHP rip it out
<5> don't know php either?
<0> :/
<0> it depends how the server is prepending data
<0> if you access a PHP document it may take the request and malform it before PHP even does anything.. then it doesn't really help
<0> basicly.. get off a free hosting site ;)
<5> is there any way i can tell flash to skip that one line of code ?
<0> I think the parsing is fairly automatic (to an array context) so you'd have to intervene between flash trying to parse the XML itself and I dunno if you can do that while using XML functions to load a XML file
<5> ok, 10x for helping
<0> np, gl
<0> perhaps you should test PHP before you give up though.. try running a test.php file with this: <pre><?php print_r(file('some.xml')); ?></pre>
<0> see if you get that lame banner
<6> does anyone know a good way to encode a .mov file into flash?
<6> right now it comes out all crappy
<0> adjust your import compression settings and try to convert it to a 1.0AR, progressive source
<6> thanks will look into that
<0> I've had the best luck first removing interlacing and aspect ratios other than 1.0, then saving it uncompressed.. I import uncompressed with at least 90 or greater quality with 100-150 keyframing, and it's nice (slight banding)
<6> I think there is a product out there that is made specificly for video compression for flash
<6> it may be worth it for me to get if it does a good clean quick nice job
<0> Sorenson Squeeze is fairly good
<0> great, easily applied presets and a few major formats to output to, but FLV is especially nice.. finally supports metadata and aspect ratio also (4.2/4.3 respectively).. finally, excellent batching interface
<0> oddly I've had to import uncompressed video and export a FLV or two right from the library pane in flash to get better quality than Sorenson on a few movies
<0> last CDROM I made I had to do that for the whole intro.. sorenson looked like arse no matter what bitrate I gave it
