Here's a header logo for the new thread. Do you want a "Highlights" header as well? Anything else we need besides highlights (obviously)?

[QUOTE=BlkDucky;33522381]yes.

we have no highlights. A new thread is silly without highlights since that's kinda the whole reason to make a new thread in the first place.[/QUOTE]

Okay

Here's to December! Happy holidays everyone. When I get back, more Facepunch API stuff.

Late reply, but first answer: When you get revoked, quit the game then start it again and login with the revoked agent
When the message pops up, there is a hidden button in the top-left of the screen.
Click it and you get the developer messages with their mottos and these graphics are used

Wrong thread bro.

Implemented Math functions in my Complex class.

[lua]Complex = {}

function Complex:new(real, imaginary)
local obj = {}
obj.r = real
obj.i = imaginary

setmetatable(obj, {
__index = Complex,
__add = (function(a, b)
local z = a
z.r = z.r + b.r
z.i = z.i + b.i
return z
end),
__sub = (function(a, b)
local z = a
z.r = z.r - b.r
z.i = z.i - b.i
return z
end),
__mul = (function(a, b)
local z = Complex:new(0, 0)
z.r = a.r*b.r - a.i*b.i
z.i = a.r*b.i + a.i*b.r
return z
end),
__eq = (function(a, b)
if ((a.r == b.r) and (a.i == b.i)) then
return true
else
return false
end
end)
})

return obj
end[/lua]

Feels good provide something of value to people :)

Should really pay more attention to what thread's I have opened before I post, sorry for the confusion everyone!

I got textures working

I'm using OpenIL, which uses multi-threaded file input, which crashes everything, I have to use some hacky code until I get it to recompile

Holy crap while I was passed out and wondering why my brain makes up fake noises for silent motions (seriously, I put a chair down on carpet and I heard "badum", am I crazy?), I missed out on some really golden posts and discussions.

Maybe you're some kind of weird synthesite (is this a word?) who hears perceived stops in motion. OR You stopped taking your pills for psychosis again.

About that if-elseif code earlier and garry's remark about abstract factories fixing it, wouldn't that just move the if structures elsewhere instead of actually getting rid of them?

Although Source seems to use a lot of macro magic, some of which might be there exactly to deal with this issue.

No, because the factory would lookup something in a dictionary, that's the point. Instead of using a bunch of if-else checks, use a dictionary and a factory for lookup and creation.

[icantread49]

sometimes, using a factory just over-engineers the problem

[acpm]

[QUOTE=icantread49;33525035]sometimes, using a factory just over-engineers the problem[/QUOTE]

I think it's appropriate to just use an if-else check for a small set of lookups, I suppose, but if you're doing something like a class creation abstraction, you should really be creating a dictionary and factory system. It's in your best interest then. Because then you can do so much more with the dictionary itself instead of writing redundant code. It's a lot cleaner in terms of data access and comparison, too.

I was more thinking "you can't automatize the adding of these classes into your abstract factory".

And now that you mentioned that I just thought of a way it could be done perfectly well. Just needs a global array or a global instance of a class you can get the array values from somehow and this idea would be a working solution.

God dammit now I want to make something like this but it would never benefit anyone because I don't finish my projects and it would be useless by itself :v:

Just showing you an example

[garry]

ffmpeg is kind of stupid. They go on about how it's open source and awesome, except you should probably put a link to their website on ever page of your product, and in your about screen, and boot up screen and redistribute the source on the same server as your product.

But then they mention that if you're a commercial project you probably shouldn't use it anyway because you will get sued by patent trolls. Blargh. Fucking open source with clauses.

Well TBH patent trolling doesn't have much to do with it being open source. It's prob'ly a bit like LAME - nobody cares if you use it personally but holy fuck will they if you start making profit with anything using the MP3 format without a licence.

What if you didn't include it in vanilla gmod, but distribute it as a free addon? That way you wouldn't be using it in a commercial way, but you could still use it.
