be much better. Althought I have a feeling they'd be a bit more zealous
with this system.. at least the person can still stay in the world
without offending others (mute is still an option if they use whisper).

Hey, we have console messages, why not put them to use. It's not like

[View Quote] > Hmm... what about making your rendering screen smaller?

According to Enzo, the point of the floating tabs was to make way for
the coming of the fullscreen mode. Now, if you go into full screen mode
it's going to be covering your render screen. The only way about this
is to make some sort of personalized API to draw DX/OGL/Software windows
in the actual screen itself which then can take any number of
characteristics from opacity settings, to "attachment" settings. This
would be the best way to go about this if you want to head towards
having the ability for some users to go into full screen mode. Same is
true for the web window and chat box. I certainly am not a big fan of
internal windows, but am even less of a fan of floating windows free of
the view (and having the ability to conceal my viewport).

Apr 15, 2004, 6:28pm

[View Quote] [View Quote] Yup. Forget trying to adapt the windowsAPI to what you want to try and
simulate. There is a line that you need to figure where it becomes more
beneficial to write something from scratch. The sort of course that AW
is on now is such a time. It's not like it's overly complicated to
write some classes for window generation. AW doesn't use much along
those lines (Shamus seems to know what he's doing enough to prettify
such things as his change to the world dialog with the stripes).

Buttons, text boxes, radio/check boxes, sliders, combo box... not much
more than that, maybe 3 or 4 more. Maybe three to four weeks writing an
alpha browser to test such a use (to see if it's more practical then
trying to FUBAR the windows API crap). In my opinion it is, Andras and
Ananas probably have more weight in that deparment though.

All this being said that there will still be a classical mode...
preferably holding true the same values as the 3.4 browser's feel/look.
Just use the windows API if not in fullscreen, if you are, switch to
the personal API. Or, give the user the choice which they want to use
-- which is ALWAYS the best. If they want the classic style, let them
use it; fullscreen? Go ahead, it's all yours.

:) I would say writing a class from the ground up to handle render-drawn
windows is the best way to go about the full-screen fiasco.

#define TRUE 1
#define FALSE !1

true is _always_ 1, and false is _always_ not 1. So I was taught, I'm
pretty sure that's the standard.

If you test the program and try to run it with true instead of 1 in all
the places I put 1, and then input things that are not 1, you will get
the "else" statement.

I use TRUE whenever I use #define statements to help me keep track of
things. As far as I'm aware, when in if statements, they are delt with
the same as "true". At least gcc treats them like that. Please note, I
don't use MFC, so any reference to it will lead you in circles with
talking to yourself.

VC++ probably doesn't treat it the same, I don't know -- only weirdos
use VC++.

Put true in the if statement then use anything not zero.

It'll still return false, if say, 927 is used.

Well, not floating tabs, but the inability to chose between the old
style and the floating tab style.

Maybe I don't want fullscreen mode, it doesn't appeal to me. I don't
even play any games that have the capability to go into windowed mode in
full screen mode.

This coming from the kid who whines when we don't follow his beliefs?

Development does play a _LARGE_ roll on what a group of users believe.
There are plenty who hate floating tabs.

If they want a fullscreen mode why not just have their own API and junk?
That way users who want to use the standard mode don't have to deal
with floating tabs.

Nope, but it's good practice to keep your users on your good side even
if you want to progress. They're called "options." All good programs
provide options with classic settings, it's hard to find those that don't.

Remember the chat bubbles? What about the "improved" yet still horrible
movement? Surely, it is less substantial than those, but it is still
something _many_ people don't/didn't want in the first place.

I'm surprised you would go against a developmental instinct to keep
users with your program. You haven't changed the layout of your bot,
spontaneously and without warning, have you? (Why do you think that is?
-- it would be harder for some people to use right?)
