Living Room / The Onion News Network - Funniest Satire Site on the Planet Lampoons the News
« Last post by mouser on January 21, 2011, 08:49 PM »
What I believe to be the most consistently hilarious and brilliant satire website (and printing press) on the planet, The Onion, has just launched a new satire television show called the "Onion News Network"

It debuts tonight (Jan 21, 2011) on the IFC cable channel in the US (www.ifc.com).

The show lampoons news channels like CNN and FOX, and will feature segments from several of the video series that they have been showing on the site in recent years (Today Now, etc.).

For my money, the stuff produced by the Onion is just in a whole different league that things like the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, etc.  I can't wait!

Developer's Corner / Re: DC needs a fun game project that multiple people can contribute to
« Last post by mouser on January 21, 2011, 02:19 AM »
Although it seems completely logical to say we should first pick a type of game, then choose the right tools for the job, I'm not sure that will work.

I think what we have here is a case where:
  • It's find to brainstorm multiple potential games that could be created.
  • To actually get a game coded, its going to require a single coder to step up and say "I like idea X and will lead this project" and "It will be coded in language P since that is the language I'll be doing most of the coding in"

So in other words, the primary driving factor here is having a program champion an idea+language, and take charge of getting it done, with help from the rest of us.  And there is no reason there just has to be one game idea that goes forward.  The key is finding and inspiring the lead programmers for the games though!

Screenshot Captor / Re: SSC thinking it's first-run on Windows startup?
« Last post by mouser on January 20, 2011, 10:51 PM »
BTW the ScreenshotCaptor.ini in the My Documents folder is being successfully written.

and are some settings being changes? if you run sc, change some settings, exit, restart. are the settings remembered?

what i'd like to see you do is change some setting clearly that you will remember, then if you ever see that issue happen again where it is showing you that message about first time minimizing, go see if the other setting got reset to its default.  that would at least let us know that whats happening is it isn't loading your settings file that time.

According to the ConfigDir.ini, the default is to store settings in the app folder, and I haven't told it otherwise.

im not sure what you mean by default in the app folder.. on windows vista and win 7 the default will be in your MyDocuments subdirectory.
that could be your problem.

you could try exiting, deleting the configdir.ini file and starting up screenshot captor and the screenshotcaptor.ini files, then restart. then exit.
then try to find the NEW screenshotcaptor.ini file created just then.

Do you think this weirdness could be related?

yes.  are you sure its actually running the copy that you are looking at?  is it possible you have ANOTHER copy of SC hiding somewhere?

multi-user dungeon would be very cool,

but the more I think about it, the more it seems to me that a puzzle type game with user creatable levels would be an easier way to start.

here's an example of a great one from 2006:

the other thing that could be going wrong is if that file is getting deleted or corrupted.
or sc is getting confused about it on startup.

check the file data make sure it is being saved when you exit it.  you might try changing some setting, exiting sc, restarting, and making sure the change was remembered.

you could also try editing the ConfigDir.ini file and manually specifying a location for the file.

hi dmorris,

It saves its first use flag in its settings file (ScreenshotCaptor.ini), so it sounds to me like its having trouble saving this file, or trying to save it to a wrong/protected location.

Did you by change move over your settings file from another pc, or do you use the ConfigDir.ini file to try to make the program portable?

There is another thing to note about Worstje which i think represents the best of DC.
Let's travel back in time to Worstje's first post on the forum about a year and a half ago:
https://www.donation....msg163724#msg163724


And then 1 and a half years later he is participating in NANY and releasing a great new program for all of us to use.  I find that very cool  :Thmbsup:

in my brief test, if outlook wasn't running the task seemed not to be added, and there was no error.  that could be a misunderstanding on my part but that's what seemed to be happening.

confirmation is not so important IFF one could be very very convinced that an error would be reported, and the user RE-presented with their text if it failed to add.

A puzzle game starring Twiggles + Cobbe, where users could create new levels, would be extremely cool.
