Disney buys Lucas

31st October 2012

Actually, I'd want for this movie to at least be partially CGI (like Avatar). Better CGI than hire some actors and get them to look like younger versions of the original ones (granted, who actually acts the part doesn't matter that much - they proved with *snip*

Disney buys Lucas

31st October 2012

I read that Disney plans to release Star Wars 7 (!) in 2014. If that's the case, I can only pray to the filmgods that they hire Cameron or Jackson as a director, and get Hamill, Ford and Fisher into those blue suits so they'll look like they're 35 again!

Preloading assets in C#

28th October 2012

Yeah, that's the issue. There's no way to know which assets are used to create sims. But me and Andrew found out through a lengthy conversation on Facebook that packingslips.dat are used in conjunction with *.xml files in the packingslips folder to map the*snip*

Preloading assets in C#

28th October 2012

So I've run some tests and changed the code around a little, and somehow the cache ALWAYS ends up being EXACTLY the same size, down to the last byte. Can someone PLEASE explain what's going on? I'll paste the entire class, minus the methods that aren't bei*snip*

Preloading assets in C#

27th October 2012

Because I can't preload all the assets? The meshes alone are 100megs compressed! If the cache is at 250 megs I might be able to fit it all in, but decompressing all that data takes time.
Anyhow, here's my current approach:

Soo... does anyone have any idea how to make this more random? Preferably as random as possible. Any ideas and suggestions are welcome!

Preloading assets in C#

I discovered that Nicholas had already implemented what I was thinking of doing, only he was doing it with archives instead of files. Problem was that he wasn't ever deleting an archive after loading it, so I ripped out his code for now.

Hm, well TSO is 1.5gig in size, so obviously I can't preload *everything*.
The original game had a loading screen that loaded resources, but I've no idea what they were! But I know that initially I'll need the textures for the GUI. I'm also going to be ne*snip*

Preloading assets in C#

22nd October 2012

Does anyone have any idea about this?
I think I have an idea in my head about how to do it (load three or four random archives into a hashtable, then replace loaded entries with new entries when needed) - the question is if the loaded data will be deleted*snip*

Windows 8 rant. >-0

What does "signed" imply? Even if it means that Windows connects to check against Microsoft's servers, I'm sure someone will invent a workaround. Or, you know, we could all just boycott it!!

Btw, I got to thinking, if your mum doesn't already have a WoW-account, buying her one now is really cheap! Combined with MoP it's a great gift!

That's not a splodge. That's abstract realism! It's not that abstract though - honestly, it doesn't take much imagination to see that it's a river with trees and flowers.
That said, I think a lot of the value in these paintings come from the history attac*snip*
