hey, just in case you don't have any thing to do. :P

finer control for midi sound slider if possible

ability to turn lighting of an area on/off with trigger in game.

turn cameras for an area on/off with trigger in game.

thanx for credit on camera. wish it was better.
would have liked ...

Weyrman, i believe that is normal behaviour. i recall being able to spot places where hidden walls were because the wire frame lines were missing.

Diedel, Speed boosts: when arriving at the target cube side, will any angular change due to new target occur instantaneously or is there some inertia ...

jakee308

which is maybe a good reason to have gamma adjustment in dle so that some kind of match can be made. then you can see what the level will light up like. :)

anyway, a second suggestion: how about access to the current level's .hog with the hog manager. is this functionality already there and i've ...

jakee308

would like to be able to adjust overall level gamma correction in dle so that the lighting in a level in dle can be what it looks like in the game.
(yes i can change the gamma in the game but i consider the standard light level as too dark and so would like to adjust dle to match.)

Jakee, has anyone ever said to you that it is not the gift but the thought that counts? DID YOU FULLY READ WHAT I POSTED? I quote, "Personally, I don't feel that the AMOUNT of a donation matters as much as that the donation was made at all." gee sounds just like what you asked me to think about.

I ...

re: post count bump.
Perhaps less bump per amount donated might be more fair to those who have put in more time / trouble / posts over the years, although a donation should be looked at as an indicator of the amount a member feels they have benefited from the DBB and wishes to give back.
Some ...

i've noticed that when you shift to "used textures" the vertical scroll bar disappears. when you shift back to "all textures" the scroll bar stays gone.

jakee308

me neither!

suggest that something this big should be if possible posted as forum. i didn't know this was here for awhile. i saw the announcements forum and looked at some of the other topics but missed this one. use color to highlight? larger type? arrows saying "this is important ^&%%**^%'s so take a look?

3/1 = .33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Hate to break it to you, but 3/1 = 3. I know, it's incredibly painful to have your bubble burst ;)

you know that's a typo ...

jakee308

no that's another place your wrong. what they say is the .999... is the equivalent of 1. it can never be equal to 1 or it would be 1. why are you making personal comments. they seem condescending and arrogant and assume that only you have the final truth but as i just wrote YOU are mistating the ...

jakee308

yeah it's one value and it can't be written down as it's infinite. as 1 cannot be divided by 3 the answer can only be an approximation.

i defy you to take one and divide by 3 the old fashioned way and reach an end to it. here's what happens.

3/1 = .33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 ...

jakee308

these are the same arguments used to claim that a bullet never really reaches it's target.
since .333... never reaches an end then 3 x .333 does not equal 1. it equals 3 times infinity which is infinity. it never reaches 1.

p.s. you can't represent 1/3 with a decimal number. so there isn't an ...

if i watch that "lunix" avatar too long, i start to get ill!
very good job fyrephlie! it takes a bit to make me queasy. there's just enough detail in that thing to do it for me. (love those flying eyeballs) yyeecchh! (i have experienced that sort of rage. not just over lunix either.)

jakee308

it can never = 1 as it will NEVER get past the decimal point to be a whole number. ANY WHOLE NUMBER. this is like saying 9 becomes 10 eventually. what, are you folks products of outcome based education? a whole number is a whole number by definition. a fraction is a fraction and is PART of a whole ...

how much mem does dle use itself? how much can it use for undo? i assume it utilizes the "heap" as needed so if you start something else it won't be able to save as much undo? be nice to know. i believe with just system idling and 1 gb to start with, i've got about 800mb free mem b4 loading dle ...

i've always thought that signatures were a text line at the bottom of the post. not an image.

jakee308

i thought that light level setting for the whole mine was too large an undo for it to be available. oops. didn't think to try it.

jakee308

i guess i should have said there is no way to set large number of cube lighting at one time. doing each cube x 6 x 4 corners adds up to a lot of manual corner light setting.

jakee308

that's not how the lag occurs. hilight a cube.
now switch between sides. if you haven't edited a side the update of data is ok. if you edit the light values of a side, or adjust alignment of the texture then change to another side in the same cube, the hilight of the side switches but the data in ...

jakee308

ok, i think now i get it. illuminate sets light values only relative to actual "light" texture location. if i have NO lights then there IS NO way
to set the lighting in a mine.

this to me is deficient. i now have request/ question. can a corner light value setter be added
to dle? is there a way to ...

jakee308

as i understand it. illuminate is used to set an absolute value of light in the mine or marked seg. scaling sets the light level to a percentage of what it is currently. true?
if yes then my illuminate doesn't do that. (sorry i'll have to dup that error later today as i del that .hog so i could ...

jakee308

if you'll notice i tried that and it wouldn't work. it's why i'm posting this in a bug report. it didn't do this b4. say 3-5 versions ago. i could ramp up the illumination or scaling and raise the light level back to bright. not this time.

jakee308

i was testing the light tool panel. used the default setting. this turned the level totally dark. then tried to use illuminate to get the level brighter again(i marked all cubes).
this did not work. tried scaling the light at 200% (which has kinda worked before). did lighten some of the level where ...

ok thanks. as it turns out, i thought i couldn't get the tga file that i made into dle. silly me i forgot about the pog file and dle will accept high res tga files whereas the texture editor won't take em.

would someone explain to me how to create a texture that has transparent areas. i have tried to sample the palette from a sample texture that had a see thru area. but i still got a solid texture.

is there a special format. dle and dmb2 i think extracts textures as a *.bmp but i read somewhere that ...

jakee308

i probably know less than you about the polymodels. my work with polytron32 has shown me that seeing through the submodel may mean the polygon normal is facing the wrong way. this causes the texture to not be drawn on the correct side. submodels disappearing may be because they penetrate other ...
