3D Othello
Hi, I'm almost done with a game and thought it was time to get some opinions about it. It's the classic board game Othello/reverse You can find it at my site http://uncle.nu/ Direct link: http://uncle.nu/index.php?folder=05_Games&page=05_Othello It's my first 3D game so if you test it just let me know if it runs smoothly =) I have saved the funniest part to create to last so to morrow I will start working on some real AI that might be a better challenge. /Per-Erik Bergman The Perfect World Is In My Head [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Re: Unicode fonts in director MX
I've made contact with somebody of the Director support team and it seems that even in Director MX Unicode fonts/text will not be supported.

greek ... in director MX ?
Hi all, i posted a few days ago the question about the greek character display in director. After trying all kinds of possible approaches , i found none of them worked for me. It IS in fact a problem. Now .. I was wondering : Does anybody know if the MX version of director will support UTF-8 .. or different codepages than the traditional ISO-8859-1 It would make the difference between choosing director as the preffered development platform (my choice , if not for the greek) or making a cd-rom in HTML, which is visually lessinteresting but HTML supports UTF-8 .. If anyone else got a "halleluja"-clue for me, please let me know , it's important (aargh). thanx . erik verschueren http://www.alligence.com [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

RE: behaviours
Hi Roland,
You can put this in a movie script:
on getScriptInstanceCount whichScript
tempList = []
repeat with i = 1 to the lastChannel
if sprite(i).member.number > 0 then
if sprite(i).scriptList.count > 0 then
repeat with k = 1 to sprite(i).scriptList.count
if sprite(i).scriptList[k][1].name = whichScript then
tempList.add(i)
end if
end repeat
end if
end if
end repeat
return tempList.count
end
In the message window enter:
put getScriptInstanceCount("name of behaviour")
It will return the number of sprites to which the behaviour is attached. The function
above:
- steps through each channel in the score
- checks if a sprite is present
- checks to see if any behavior is attached to the sprite
- checks to see how many behaviors are attached
- checks if any of these behaviors match the name of the one you passed as whichScript
- adds the sprite number to a list
- the last line returns the count of the list i.e. the number of sprites the behavior
is attached to
You can return the complete list of sprites the behavior is attached to by removing
the '.count' property from the return line.
Hope this helps,
Erik

recursive use of handler
Hello, Is it possible to return the result of a recursive loop to the handler that called the loop, instead of to the previous instance of the handler itself ? I am not sure the question is accurate, but you can check out what I mean with this example-moviescript. on startMovie myList = [5,6,7] myPropList = createList(myList) put myPropList end on createList oldList, newList if not ilk(newList,#list) then newList = [] end if if oldList.count > 0 then newList.add(oldList[1]) oldList.deleteAt(1) createList(oldList, newList) else propertyList = [#propName:newlist] end if return propertyList end The value that is returned to startMovie is VOID, while I need it to be the constructed propList. If I put a breakpoint on the line "return propertyList", I see what is happening, but how can I pass my return value through this stack ? sincerely, Erik Phalet > Tel * +32-(0)2-751 45 29 > GSM * 0473 86 41 36 > Mail * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > www.theWizard.be > Interactive Communication > Registered Office * Machelsesteenweg 67,1820 Melsbroek, Belgium > Production * Zandvoortstraat 8, 2800 Mechelen, Belgium > > [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Re:xml in foreign languages
Your problems aren't with XML, but with Director and the languages you are using. Finnish should be no problem, at least on Windows, because the character set is part of the standard ANSI character set. Director basically, as far as I can determine, uses only code page 1252 on Windows, the code page for Latin 1, defined by the ISO 8859.1 standard, which is essentially the same as ANSI. Greek, defined by ISO 8859.7, uses code page 1253. If your font is a true Greek font, and you are running on a Greek system, you should see everything in Greek. However, if you're running on another system, you will probably see garbage characters, because Director is matching the high ANSI characters with the glyphs in the font's 1252 area, where it might have ANSI characters. I just found. Greek is giving me problems. I was going through the archives and some say using embedded adjusted greek fonts would do but this hasn't worked out for me. I guess there's no quick solution then unless going through custom made conversions. (ascii-wise). Anyone? As for the beta-xtra , nik, nice piece of work at first sight. i will definitely try to look into it.

Re: How can I install a minimum QT Player without going through registration and download?
< MPEG1 surely could, but you would have to have two separate Casts. On Win you'd use something like the DirectMedia Xtra for playback -- and thus have a Windows-only media Cast -- whereas for Mac you could use QT -- the Mac-only Cast. > We often work like this. Apart from some (rare) early win 95 or win NT users, or mac users with a quicktime version before-mpeg1-playback, nobody has to install anything. (although we normally provide the installers).

editable field

RE: Xtra that will zip external files?
Thanks for the tip, I'd only tried the zip method. I am trying however, to add all files at once, but seem to have some trouble with the last parameter, 'any filelist', in both jar and zip. I tried using getNthFileNameInFolder to return a list of files, nothing. I tried with full path and filename in the list as well, nothing. And I tried just specifying a single file with and without path (not in a []), nothing. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the 'zipDirectory' parameter? This seems to indicate the location of where to create the zip file. Obtusely, Erik -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Well, you have to zip all the files at once, not add them piece by piece. I've used it by creating a folder (file xtra), adding files there, zipping the folder (jar works, zip doesn't seem to) then deleting the original folder.

RE: Xtra that will zip external files?
> BUT THERE'S A ZIP XTRA ALREADY! Straight from macromedia. > sigh. no one listens to me... I did: The Zip Xtra (Mac and Win) that ships with Director is listed as Authoring only, and "Enables Director to compress Bitmaps when publishing a DCR." A quick test revealed that you can create a zip file in Authoring and Projector mode as well, but didn't have much luck with adding files into the zip file. Perhaps someone else will have a better result, or prove that no result can be had...

Lingo vs. PHP
Dear people,
If i wouldn't have a problem ya'll ain't be readin' this...
Concerning the following :
I want to send a post/getNetText from director
To a php-server (in this case my own (osX with PHP configured) but i don't
think that is revelant)
Using the following(test-setup)
global gnetID
on exitFrame me
if netdone(gnetID) then
if neterror(gnetID) <> "" then
put nettextresult(gnetID)
else
put "on dze way"
end if
else
put "not done"
end if
go the frame
End
global gnetID
on mouseUp me
gnetID = getnettext("http://127.0.0.1/~erikx/php/action.php?name=erik";)
-- there is a variable ($name)in the php that should output some text
End
So all i get is the following in my message window
"
-- "on dze way"
-- "not done"
-- "not done"
-- ""
And so on..
I have also tried the "post" with a property-list (because i have more than
one variable) the "get" with a single one and so on...
Anyone any ideas???
Thank you very much
Erik.

XML Problem!
PROBLEMS WITH XML!! First... global gParserObject gParserObject = new(xtra "xmlparser") I call this function with two parameters. i.e "set getXML = xml_dialog(5,1)" The function "search" my XML file(code) for the node named "stage" with the attributeValue "5" and wich contain a child node named "dialog" with a attributeValue "1". When it find's it it should put a certain node attributeValue. The script works fine with this parameters "set getXML = xml_dialog(5,1)" but when I try to get the nodes with parameters: "set getXML = xml_dialog(2,1)" I doesn't return anything!? WHY? Please help me on this, it seems like I can't step through the XML correctly!? Here's my code, the XML is last. --code--> on xml_dialog stage_id, dialog_id global gParserObject, stage_node repeat with i = 1 to gParserObject.child[1].child[1].child.count-1 test1 = gParserObject.child[1].child[i].attributeValue[1] if test1 = stage_id then put gParserObject.child[1].child[i].attributeValue[1] stage_node = i set getXML = xml_dialog_num(dialog_id) end if end repeat end on xml_dialog_num dialog_id global gParserObject, stage_node repeat with i = 1 to gParserObject.child[1].child[stage_node].child[1].child.count-1 test2 = gParserObject.child[1].child[stage_node].child[i].attributeValue[1] if test2 = dialog_id then put gParserObject.child[1].child[stage_node].child[i].attributeValue[1] put gParserObject.child[1].child[stage_node].child[i].child[1].attributeValue[1] end if end repeat end --XML---> <-end-- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

RE: Next available member in castlib?
If you don't name all of them, you can find the next empty spot with 'the
number of members'. If there is one cast member in castlib 1:
put (the number of members of castlib 1) + 1
-- 2
Member 2 is an empty slot...
Erik
-Original Message-
If you name all your members, you can find wich place is free if it
has no name ("")
put (member 3 of castLib 1).name
-- "OnWine 3D"
put (member 36 of castLib 1).name
-- ""
