C C++ and C#, Look like each-other, no way ?

There is a lot more to a language that it's syntax. Lot's of languages can look similar but act completely different. For example, ruby and python have similar syntax but work in different ways, with each language having it's own strengths and methodologies.

[QUOTE=esalaka;30606091]No I mean how do you do the magic[/QUOTE]

only Xerios3 can tell you the actual method he used but here's my $0.02
[cpp]
// fragment shader

// distance along animation (object space probably)
float distance = currentTime;

// the two different states
float4 completed = tex2D(completedTex, uv);
float4 building = tex2D(buildingTex, uv);

// difference between this fragment and the animation distance
float difference = dot(axisOfAnimation, fragmentPosition) - distance;

// completed if fragment is behind the animation, building if it's in front
float4 actualColor = difference < 0 ? completed : building;

// add some glow between a difference of zero and someConstant
float4 addGlowColor = someGlowColor * (1.0f - min(abs(difference) / someConstant, 1.0f));

return actualColor + addGlowColor;
[/cpp]

Now it's possible to use skins with any size. I can create a skin and a joint map for it and it will work without any code changes.

I made a pacman man skin to test it.

[B]I FEEL YOU HAVEN'T SEEN MY FANCY BUILDING ANIMATION ENOUGH[/b][/QUOTE]

Rendering the object with Hex square texture, then using a HLSL shader to look up the diffuse texture based on the 'animation' frame + position of pixel and then display the diffuse texture if it's < change place, display the blue if it is the change place, and the Hex if nothing else. :v:

As for the texture: I think the hex one should have glowing lines inset into it that are light blue/white, sort of like there is power running through it to hold it in place/hold it up/etc.

[CarlBooth]

The shadow def. needs to reflect the model

[Lord Ned]

Well if he's using a deferred renderer that's gonna be a problem.

[20k]

Probably a dumb suggestion, but: It would be cool if you could have a little *push content post to content thread as well* button, that would let you tick that this was a content-some post

Then, it would satisfy the people going "WHERE ARE CONTENT" because it would all be concentrated in a thread, and this thread could continue to be the general mix of content and chat it always is. Plus, then we'd have a thread full of concentrated awesome.

Not that this could actually be implemented, but its a nice idea

I know I complained about it before, but i actually like the style that waywo has :v:

In other, programming news
I added the ability to swing your weapon to my game. I'd show you another static image of a yellow circle with a purple stick sticking out of it, but it probably doesn't really add anything at this point :v:

[QUOTE=danharibo;30587981]Perhaps authenticate was the wrong word, how could I identify individual users without them having to register at a central server. of course this doesn't need to work between servers, just sessions on a server.[/QUOTE]

Little late but

Private-public key encryption

Randomly generate the keys for each user
To authenticate the user should send their public key, then send known data (like their public key) encrypted with their private key
Then to know if its right, decrypt the encrypted data using the public key and see if correct

Yes, but I'm currently using depthbuffer only ( thanks Dx11 for this feature ). The drawback is that I can't use pixelshaders since I don't have rendertargets =/

Here's the messy code for the effect ( it was a quick work after all ), don't ask me I coded this ages ago so now I have hard time figuring out what does what.

    float4 buildfx = Texture2.Sample(LinearSampler, input.TexCoord*2) * 0.5f;
    float transition = saturate(((input.Height)*10) - ((Progress)*10));
    float whiteFX = 1+((input.Height)*10) - ((Progress)*10);
    float alpha=0,result=whiteFX;
    if (whiteFX<1) result=1;
    if (whiteFX>2) {result=100;}
    if (whiteFX>2.1f) {result=1;}//((1+sin(Time/7))*0.4f)
    
	float time = ((1+cos(Time/20))*0.5f)*20;
	float pulse = ((input.Height*20) - time);
	float pulseUp = (((1.1f-input.Height)*20) - (20-time));
	if (pulse>1 || pulse<0) pulse=0;
	if (pulseUp>1 || pulseUp<0) pulseUp=0;
	result+=pulse+pulseUp;
	
    float4 final = lerp(diffuse,buildfx,transition) * result;

Btw, is it actually possible to render shadows and scene in one pass? I mean so that I don't have to draw all geometry all over again for shadows and scene.

To get a std::string from user in client mode you should use std::getline(std::cin, send); so that a space doesn't end the string, but instead it is read until newline.

That's not really corruption. Settings that other applications saved there wouldn't be touched in that case. Unless the whole registry got to the point of not being able to be read. But then the entire OS shouldn't boot at all. In your case a few entries got changed wrong that's all. I'm having trouble believing that it was a windows update alone that caused this too. And even if it is, things like that don't happen every day, and it's a bad reason to say programs shouldn't store stuff in the registry. However I do believe that only computer-specific (not user-specific) stuff should be stored there. For example, source uses it for graphical stuff like the resolution. If you just copied the Steam folder to another computer, your game settings are still in .cfg's, and while computer-specific stuff is lost, it's likely that another computer should use different settings anyway and not much is lost.
