The Ui Guru Can't Work


SupSuper

Recommended Posts

To put things shortly: My dad doesn't like my grades. Thus, he took the RAM from my computer, so I can't use it. I can still use other computers and keep an eye on things, but not do any work, since my work environment is in my computer.

So, until I can use my computer again, I can't do any work. I could probably set up TortoiseSVN on my mom's computer and work from there, but without MSVC++ to test changes with it'd be veeeery risky. Not that I do any actual work on MSVC++, I just use Notepad, but I need MSVC++ to build a release to test stuff with. And I can't find my MSVC++ CDs.

Though, feel free to ask me any UI-related questions, or even get someone to fill in for me :P
Also, in case the "clipped text" problem still isn't fixed, it should be a simple matter of increasing widget width/height where appropriate.

Finally, I'm keeping myself relatively away from the Programming forum. The stuff being discussed there is way over my head :wacko:

You're not my father!!! :Cry:

Anyway, I did study, but I made the mistake of studying like I did in school, in which I did pretty darn well :) that was the first semester, the second semester I studied much better, but I made a critical mistake in a programming assignment which made me fail it, I actually studied much better B)
Besides, you learn from your mistakes much more than you do from your successes :)

[quote name='red knight' date='Dec 3 2005, 04:08 PM']Ok, study a little and you will be arround soon. Studing is very important for us at Xenocide Senior Team, so we agree with your parents decision.

[right][post="140931"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote]I already study, it's just 12th grade is so freakin' hard! (as any student around here could tell you). I mean, it even shows up on the news how most students fail! I'm already repeating for the 2nd time, and most go up to 3 or 4 times.
And I'm doing better than last time, so it's not so bad :)

Plus tests are over and Christmas Holidays are coming, I don't want to die of boredom :P so I already got VC++ .NET 2003 set up (it doesn't compile with the [url="http://msdn.microsoft.com/express"]free 2005 Express version[/url]), so I'll be messing around with the UI again. I'm gonna fix the vertical scrollbar since that thumb looks so ugly :P and possibly whip up a Research Screen, since I see that's coming up too. Anything else you want UI-related just let me know :)

Btw, I've been thinking: UI Test is a developer-only tool, and I've noticed on progress releases that people always seem unaware of that. Maybe we should remove it from the main menu and put it on a console command or something?

Yea, I can feel your pain. :) Hated it too. But - although I don't wanne sound like your parents - this is extremely important. Don't make the same mistake I did. I took it too lightly, made a not too good final exam and had so much trouble every time I tried to change to another University or get a scholarship etc etc... It's not fair, but life can be so much easier if you've got good marks... Edited by Mad

[/quote]I know, but sadly, wanting to get good grades doesn't make you get good grades. You just gotta get lucky :P

Oh and Xenocide doesn't compile :( Edited by SupSuper

Yea, gotta get lucky - and work your #%& off...

Oh, and it is compiling. at least for me. Maybe you forgot to "install" some dependencies? Edited by Mad

[/quote]That too :P

Nope, I got all the dependencies. xenocommon and xenolauncher build fine, only xenocore doesn't (and xenoui needs xenocore):

Looks to me like your header files for the LUA classes are out of date.

[/quote]Impossible, I got everything from the Package Updater.

I don't have the DirectX SDK though, couldn't get it installed on this computer. Could that be the problem?

Eh? Did you edit a wrong post? :) Edited by UnFleshed One

[quote name='red knight' date='Dec 12 2005, 02:33 AM']DirectX SDK is not required because the only thing that needs it is Ogre, and we have that precompiled.

[right][post="141737"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post][/right][/quote]Shouldn't it be removed from the Progammer's Quick Start Guide then?

Anyways, time to recheck my steps:
- Install VC++2003, check
- Install TortoiseSVN, check
- Checkout SVN, check
- Install and update Xenocide Updater, check
- Get latest dependencies, check

Well, I'm puzzled. Reminds me when I first joined and the bloody thing just wouldn't compile for me :P
