[QUOTE=RyanDv3;33223645]Class A is a superclass of class B. Class A sets the precedent of having a color property. Only catch: this color property is the same across all instances.
If you just had class A, it would be a no-brainer. You simply make a static variable that holds the color. But since you also have a derived class B, you can't, because Class B isn't allowed to override any static Class A stuff (meaning class B would have to be the same color as class A)[/QUOTE]
You can put a color property in B and it hides the one in A. It's actually a completely different, unrelated property, not an "override" of the one in A, but if you refer to B.color you'll get the value defined there.
But if you want to refer to A.color and get a value defined by class B, like you would with an overridden instance method, that doesn't make any sense for a static value. How would it know when to use the value from A and when to use the value from B? There's no object instance to guide the decision when you're referring to something static. Should it [i]always[/i] use the one from B, just because it exists?
I'm guessing you have something like a List<A> but the contents may be subclasses like B, C, whatever. So when you iterate over your list and check the color of each one, you find that [i]this[/i] item is blue (because it's really an A), but [i]that[/i] item is green (because it's really a B). In other words, the colors really are a per-instance, not static, property.
If you want the colors to be the same for all instances of a given class, that's an implementation detail: you can put a private static constant in each class, and use it in that class's implementation of the (non-static) getColor() method.

Since they have no actual clean method to do it either, I cant use Lua, which destroys half the point of my project

Added specular maps.. now uhm.. does anyone know where to find some "good" test models? Preferably as .obj (with textures including normal map) that doesnt have like 100k tri's?
Last maze video, I swear.

Yeah, I honestly think mainstream gaming is overpriced. Too bad I won't be playing either. :yarr:

Well, I remember N64 games being $59, so if you take inflation into account they're actually not as expensive as they used to be.
In Australia shit is so overpriced it's actually unfunny. In the US you can buy Sonic Generations for $25 US ($25 AUD), but retail in Australia it's $110 AUD.
Timers!

I just realized we should make a tile set for behind the chambers; so not only we can have more art but a transition to the Mario world if you make a hybrid level pack.

My expression parser/language now has if and while statements, as well as function parsing. Time to get my GUI on, I think it's about time I actually made a grapher out of it.
What a surprise, I report an exploit and they 'fix' it (You can still do it) in the laziest way breaking my program before I have the time to migrate it :\.
Ugh I hate rtmps. It says its an Https tunnel for rtmp which is a load of shit. Instead of starting with an http request it first sends the rtmp handshake and then it sends the http request to start the tunnel. Thankfully though the rtmp handshake is at least a static size.
At last, some progress!

And if it's like any of Bethesda's other releases, it'll be totally unplayable for the next year or so, until the official and fan-made patches fix all the colossal game-breaking bugs.

I don't think it'd happen. It'd be such a good thing to happen, that it won't.

It could be. Having seen how long it took them to actually create Desura when there were no less than 3 clients (2 cross platform) whose purpose was to integrate with ModDB (and AddonDB back when it existed), with the creators of Desura saying "Who the heck wants a client for this?!" back in 2008, if anything I see this as the linux client stalling because the guy writing it isn't as familiar with its ecosystem as he is with Windows. i.e., Dude wants others to finish his work for him, and to keep the copyright under Desura so they can do whatever.
Hopefully it won't be a horrible implementation when they do open it (like that .NET Markdown parser that stack overflow released that was one huge 25K line .cs file), if they do at all.
Basically, I'm in the same camp as Jookia. It'd be kind of neat if they did, but it will most likely be inefficient, and too many people in the community trying to have a say in anything will result in nothing getting done, or a million little forks, with a bunch of folks eventually writing their own Desura server, and then maybe one or two surviving programmer apathy.
A quick and sudden "Hey duders, this is open source now" with no community planning or actual goal for the end result of the software is going to damage it, and might even result in Desura never being any kind of force to be reckoned with. (I mean, let's be honest here, if it wasn't for the Humble Indie Bundle most folks would not be using Desura, and that ship is basically the firestarter for Desura)
Open sourcing a client that performs authentication with a database when we aren't aware of any encryption or security features may also open Desura up to a bunch of exploits, from which it will most likely never recover.
But it'd still be pretty cool :v:
Have you used the Desura Linux client? It's fully functional. There's no stalling needed. Also, this isn't a quick and sudden thing. It's being planned and thought about.
As for the encryption and security features, open sourcing it makes no difference. If you have good security, you have good security. If you don't, you don't.
Security through obscurity doesn't exist.
