no, phpbb is broken, its the only bbsoftware that ignores the center tags.

I was referring to the VBA-M link, actually. >.>

can it be made so you can unmute the audio via selecting the "mute" option a 2nd time instead of the "enable" option that is not in the sub menu?

Yes... it is do-able.

yeah it's the same in phpbb3 but it can be fixed though, I added the center tags in the bbcode editor on my forums

Crono's patch fixed the Kirby's tilt and tumble issue, how ever,. now it pops up an error that the file size is wrong, though i believe 256b is the correct size, i have a feeling this fix will also effect any other games that use MBC7, iirc i think we only had up to 5 working before

Crono's second patch has fixed it.

Now, when muting, neither On or Off is selected, and the only way to unmute is still to turn the audio On even though it should be On already (but silenced).

thats normal, the mute button used to be on the same men as the other 2.. how ever someone moved it.. for some reason.

new vba-m build out, if people care.

LIRC support has been added to the SDL port, too.

Nice! What new features/fixes are in this build?

mudlord · Post by **mudlord** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 11:30 pm

Well, Kirby's Tilt N' Tumble now works fine it seems, plus other minor things....

I really should post SVN logs.

mudlord · Post by **mudlord** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 1:35 am

Bump

SVN 595 compile out.

Main work being done with that build is my Qt4 GUI updates.

I don't see it on sourceforge yet.

franpa, you actually check out the links on the first page right?

I thought not.

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 7:13 am

i checked out the vbacompiles/msvc2008/ folder. the latest is 589.

Use your brain franpa. The hint is in mudlord's post.

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Tue Aug 12, 2008 7:15 am

edit: i see now.

Looks pretty awesome, in the options, is the left frame meant to scroll vertically instead of horizontally?

mudlord · Post by **mudlord** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 2:04 am

Both, the GUIs contents can dynamically change. Try dragging the bottom right corner of the options box to see what I mean....

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Wed Aug 13, 2008 2:58 am

Ok, can it be made to remember the size of the dialog box?

SVN build 605 out.

Comes in MFC and Qt flavours.

It would be nice if those libs were built in (or included with the app) or whatever you use those builds for are built internally. Adding extra layers to a program only serves to bring undue hassle (meaning you'll get more dumbass complaints).

Other than DX, driver updates, or maybe getting Creative's OpenAL driver.. the extra steps required to get either build working seems to border on "too much effort"...

This isn't a slight on your efforts.. partly it's the laziness factor, but also the "I shouldn't have to jump through millions of hoops to get this working" feeling that I have.

Additionally, the I don't fit the redist requirements (I run Win2k).

So, you rather the MFC/Qt4 runtimes static?

I know Spacy did a fair bit of tinkering with the build system since my last commit (which was around 595), so you might wanna make a account on our forum and bring it up with him.

I know personally I want the ZLib/libpng builds static, but Spacy wants them dynamic...

But I do agree with your concerns. I really wish Spacy stuck with mingw for Windows Qt building: Using mingw with Qt4 is extremely painless. Now I have to jump through similar hoops.

Though, if you want working release grade compiles of the MFC build, you might need our lamer protector...

Hmm, would it be possible to post both statically linked EXEs and dynamically linked ones?

It may be possible to pull off some helper functions to dynamically bind the DLLs with only a few function calls, such as OpenAL and co. Maybe we can write up a quick script to spit out code that tries to load and bind all the functions in advance, so you don't even have to use any of that function pFnction = (FOO, FOO)GetProcAddress() voodoo in your actual code?

Also, is it possible to specify the version of MFC as the one that shipped with Win2k, or are there new features / too many library changes to use the older one?

I'd have to wonder why go to the extra trouble.

Sounds quite neat!

Main thing that is restricting is compiler usage (IIRC, very recent VS updates make Win9x a non compilable target

. Haven't checked out VS2008 SP1 for myself yet, could take some time on my measly 256KB broadband link). VBA-M itself does not use anything special in regards to MFC. In the past, the original VBA even had VC6 projects, so really, nothing special is used in that regard.

That said, I'm not sure. I honestly haven't dealt much personally with MFC, or .NET since I try to stick with the plain Win32 API only in my personal coding projects. VBA-M has only been the first real exposure with MFC coding.
