Living Room / Mini-documentary about tricking using loopholes in Mario Kart's video game

Mini-documentary about the race to conquer Mario Kart's Choco Mountain in seconds

It's amazing to see the dedication some people have to some small niches in the world -- in some ways it seems to me the best part of humanity..

Enjoy this surprisingly dramatic and gripping YouTube mini-documentary about one of gaming's strangest and most obsessive cults: racing around Mario Kart 64's Choco Mountain track. Thanks to glitchy shortcuts, racers winnowed times down to just a few seconds. But getting the trick right for all three laps of a time trial?

Developer's Corner / Re: Need Inno Setup Advice

« Last post by mouser on June 21, 2018, 07:28 PM »

It sounds like what ATH is saying is your problem -- that the source shortcut files you are referring to as "...\abc-launch" are really named "...\abc-launch.lnk" and you just aren't seeing the .lnk extension in your windows file explorer which is causing you to think they are named differently than they really are, causing inno to not find them.  Does that sound plausible?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Multiple screen capture but slip each in to each file!

« Last post by mouser on June 21, 2018, 02:37 AM »

I'm surprised that I don't have a commandline option to capture a specific monitor screen by monitor # in my MiniCap program (the little brother to Screenshot Captor), so the least I can do is add that right away in the next day or so.

Automatic Screenshotter / Re: Automatic Screenshotter - auto delete options?

« Last post by mouser on June 19, 2018, 12:40 AM »

Is there a way to view all screen captures without going from one day folder to the next one?

That is one of the goals of the Mouser's Media Browser image browser that is built into Automatic Screenshotter.. But it still could use some usability improvements.

Screenshot Captor / Re: program is running in super small window on XPS13

« Last post by mouser on June 18, 2018, 08:18 PM »

Just updating to the newest version has fixed the issue, thanks!

Great!   

The problem was probably fixed in version 4.10.1 on March 24, 2017, which was the first version to incorporate better support for high-dpi screens.

But even before you do that -- upgrade your version of Screenshot Captor!
Your screenshot shows you are using 4.12, and the current version is 4.29.  You are using a version that is like 3 years old.

First things first -- close the options and then click the square in the titlebar to maximize the screenshot captor window.
That won't help make the options dialog more readable, but at least it will make the main window better.

That's strange.. Can you elaborate a little bit -- do you mean you can make the window full size but the text is too small? Or do you mean the actual window is still tiny?

See the tab for "Capture Options" and look under "Screenshot Preservation" -- set those values higher.  I will add an option to disable that entire section soon.

Since 2007 we have held an annual event that we call NANY (New Apps for the New Year), where we ask the coders who hang out on DonationCoder to create some new piece of free software and share it with the world on January 1st of the new year.

NANY is really the funnest thing we do on this site, and it's one of the few times we can all play together.  There are no winners or losers, it's simply a celebration of programming and creating new software and sharing it with the world.  You can target any operating system (desktop or mobile) or even make a web-based tool.  It can be a game, utility, large application, whatever.  DC takes makes no claim on your software, it's just an event to encourage you to share a creation with others.  Best of all, everyone who participates gets a free commemorative coffee mug.

Screenshot Captor / Re: need advice to capture specific things...

« Last post by mouser on June 16, 2018, 03:06 AM »

In my case it already has pre-selected my target window,

Yes this is one of the reasons that SC tries to identify the active window even when capturing the full screen

The first thing to try might be to see if there are hotkeys you could use that wouldn't trigger the tooltip to dissappear.

Assuming that fails, a delayed capture might be what you need so that you can trigger the capture first and THEN move to show the tooltip.  I will soon be adding a hotkey for that but for now you have to enable and disable the delay from the right click menu (delay time can be set in options).

You do give me an idea though, for adding a new kind of capture more that would take a bunch of screenshots in close succession, every time screen changed.  That would let you capture a bunch of screenshots and only keep the one with the tooltip.

You could try using my Automatic Screenshotter for a similar effect now.   This would be especially useful if you had a bunch of tooltips you wanted to capture.  The idea would be to run it, and then just trigger the showing of the tooltips, letting ASR take a new screenshot every time the screen changed.  Then you could just go explore all the screenshots and copy the ones you want.

I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know if the problem is fixed.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Some small Bugs i have.

« Last post by mouser on June 13, 2018, 12:59 PM »

Hi thomaz.

I will try to check into the visual anomolies -- the stuff with the start menu button might be tricky for me to handle.. I normally keep it on the other side of the monitor.

But this problem troubles me:

When i enable a secondary display it jumps to the secondary.

This should not happen and seems very annoying.. I'm trying to think how it might be happening and how to fix it..
