[QUOTE=nullsquared;16395188]What's the [b]better[/b] alternative? What do any of those have over XML?[/QUOTE] Are you kidding? Json is far more efficient than xml. Yaml ( like a post below says ) is far more human readable.

Could anyone PLEASE send me an .bmp or .png image (so there would e no quality loss) of the gmod derma GUI elements so I can use it for my app. There would need to be some windows, sliders, buttons and checkboxes in the image. The ones Overv posted are jpg so the quality is unacceptable. Pretty pwease guise? I don't have gmod installed.

No, they are png.

Well anyway would you mind sending them?

[QUOTE=nullsquared;16395188]What's the [b]better[/b] alternative? What do any of those have over XML?[/QUOTE] I don't understand why everyone's on your ass about this :v: Every option has its pros and cons, and if null wants to use XML just let him.

[quote=rowley;16395057]json, yaml, sxml, [b]xslt[/b] and many more. Always an alternative.[/quote] xslt?? isn't it xml based too?

[QUOTE=Fox32;16396173]xslt?? isn't it xml based too?[/QUOTE] Woops, forgot.

[QUOTE=nullsquared;16395188]What's the [b]better[/b] alternative? What do any of those have over XML?[/QUOTE] all of those are a better choice than xml [editline]02:23PM[/editline] something like sxml has the right idea [editline]02:24PM[/editline] don't use sxml though [editline]02:25PM[/editline] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Json#Data_types.2C_syntax_and_example]jsonjsonjsonjson[/url]

[QUOTE=Kat of Night;16396152]I don't understand why everyone's on your ass about this :v: Every option has its pros and cons, and if null wants to use XML just let him.[/QUOTE] Yeah, exactly :v:. They're all saying how XML sucks, but they're not using any reasons. I bet they're Linus followers.

[QUOTE=Kat of Night;16396152]I don't understand why everyone's on your ass about this :v: Every option has its pros and cons, and if null wants to use XML just let him.[/QUOTE] Well, some of them are just plain old troll accounts. But he didn't answer the people who explained things either, so I doubt he cares. Personally I couldn't give a rat's ass about what he uses for his engine one or two people will probably get to play with :P

[QUOTE=nullsquared;16396403]Yeah, exactly :v:. They're all saying how XML sucks, but they're not using any reasons. I bet they're Linus followers.[/QUOTE] Well of course! Linus is a god, being the creator of xml! ( Also, I gave reasons )

[QUOTE=Rowley;16395655]Are you kidding? Json is far more efficient than xml. [/quote] What's more efficient about it? I showed you the code I use to parse my skin - how would that look with a Json parser? [quote] Yaml ( like a post below says ) is far more human readable.[/QUOTE] So? It's not like your average Joe is gonna reskin a GUI.

[QUOTE=nullsquared;16396575]No one explained anything.[/QUOTE] Did you miss the two posts about yaml being designed about human readability? EDIT: Nevermind, you finally answered. [QUOTE=nullsquared;16396575]Portalized is getting released the end of this summer, but I'll make sure you don't get your hands on it.[/QUOTE] Har har. [quote]Because I can't knock your teeth in over the internet. If this was real life I'd take care of it. [/quote] Out of context things are hilaaaaarious. [quote]So? It's not like your average Joe is gonna reskin a GUI.[/quote] So huh, readability doesn't apply to you or me because we're not the average joe... what? I just find the yaml syntax more intuitive, is that supposed to be a bad thing? (and I've never dealt with either XML or yaml, I just googled it when Ortz talked about it)

[QUOTE=nullsquared;16396664]What's more efficient about it? I showed you the code I use to parse my skin - how would that look with a Json parser? So? It's not like your average Joe is gonna reskin a GUI.[/QUOTE] Gotta admit, good point about the yaml.. :D However, the point regarding Torvalds... a bit of an over generalization.

[QUOTE=gparent;16396697]Out of context things are hilaaaaarious.[/QUOTE] quoting you is hilaaaaaarious. gay parent. [editline]02:45PM[/editline] don't repeat yourself.... [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Flaming." - lazyV))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=garymode;16396739]quoting you is hilaaaaaarious.[/QUOTE] Would be if it made any sense, unfortunately nobody including you knows the actual context well enough.

nothings going to blow up if you use XML over yaml

[QUOTE=qurl;16396897]nothings going to blow up if you use XML over yaml[/QUOTE] I'm not saying XML is great or anything. In fact, sometimes ti sucks. But people need to say more than HUR XML SUCKS USE <something_else> IT MOAR EFFICIENT

[QUOTE=nullsquared;16396962]I'm not saying XML is great or anything. In fact, sometimes ti sucks. But people need to say more than HUR XML SUCKS USE <something_else> IT MOAR EFFICIENT[/QUOTE] Yup, that's right. This reminds me of the "Should I get W7?" thread. "Yes no no yes yes no no no yes" is not useful info.

Working on learning Python, but I haven't upgraded so I am using 2.5 just while I learn. I am reading some online book/tutorial things. I made some retarded program it asked to make as practice. It tells you your dog's name and its dog age haha. [code]first_name = raw_input("What is your dog's first name: ") last_name = raw_input("What is your dog's last name: ") dog_age_in_human_years = input("How old is your dog in human years?") print ("Dog Name:") print (first_name + " " + last_name) print ("Real Dog Age:") print (dog_age_in_human_years * 7) [/code] Output: [code]What is your dog's first name: Ugly What is your dog's last name: Joe How old is your dog in human years?4 Dog Name: Ugly Joe Real Dog Age: 28[/code] :banjo:

[QUOTE=qurl;16399259]-snip- you can't embed swf files? D:[/QUOTE] I don't know if your talking to me because I don't know what swf files are! :bahgawd:

the fuck?

Flash video files. And you can't embed them cause they could contain malicious scripts that fuck stuff up. It would be like allowing you to execute any javascript you wanted in your posts, except with flash you have access to an external program besides the browser, which makes it potentially more dangerous.
