Just wondering if anyone likes the Warriors series by Erin Hunter?
It's so good!! If you don't check it out from the library (cause it's
free that way, though you do have to wait longer) you're MISSING OUT!!
Link to the site for the books: <http://warriorcats.com/
warriorshell.html>

[Kirdneh]

i've head about that. is that the ones with the cats on it looking all warriory? i'l just google it.

maybe i'll check it out.

[Lucas Bruno]

Yes it is! It's SOOO exciting!! Very intense! NOT for the faint at heart! The first book is called: Warriors: Into the Wild.

I hope you'll like them!

[Kirdneh]

i'll check them out as soon as i can. Thanks for  telling me about that series.

[Puggsoy]

Y'know what's not for the faint of heart? Stories like The Case Of Lady Sannox and Horror Of The Heights by Conan Doyle. And no, they are not Sherlock Holmes stories, just scary short stories.

[Lucas Bruno]

Well... my parents probably don't want me to read scary stories... And I like mysteries, but those could be too intense... Another great Mystery Thriller is the book Utopia. It's about the most high tech theme park in existence getting targeted by this group of criminals who start sabatoging the rides and killing people and it's VERY intense!

[Kirdneh]

i cheek out the warriors series at a local library today. i've been reading for half an hour, and so far the first few chapters have been good. I read it after finishing a few other books i just got today.

I think i read too fast :P

[Lucas Bruno]

Well as long as you enjoy them! They get more exciting after the third book in each of the four series usually, but as it is THEY ARE AWESOME!! Lol... sometimes I feel like I read those books too fast too! I finished a 425-ish page warrior book in less than 3 days recently... and I wish I hadn't... but it was still good!

[Albino Pokey]

Which book?

[Lucas Bruno]

Erin Hunter's Warrior's series! They are awesome!!

[Puggsoy]

Chorga McChorg. A-la-chorg.

New topic:

Minecraft:

have any of you downloaded any mods yet?

[Albino Pokey]

Nope. I did some modding once, back in Beta 1.2 version. I made blue blocks that make you bounce and orange ones that make you run fast. Then the Portal 2 preview video came out. :P

[Puggsoy]

Valve has a sneaky way of halting progress, doesn't it? Free To Play TF2 did it for me.

[Mark Hutcheson]

I don't usually use any mods with Minecraft. I've seen some pretty epic-looking videos on YouTube of reflective water and stuff like that, though. The modding community does some amazing stuff.

[Mark Hutcheson]

Also, how do I change my name on here?

[Albino Pokey]

What email client are you using? It looks like you're at Virginia Tech, so probably SquirrelMail or something custom like that.

Anyway, you should be able to bring up some sort of preferences dialog.

Do you have a Goofans account, by the way?

[Kirdneh]

i am guessing you are MOM4evr?

[notch]

i don't know how to change on the old versoin, but the new versoin I know how. Look, i am now notch!!! :P

[Mark Hutcheson]

Actually, Mozilla Thunderbird. So it would involve changing my name everywhere? Hmm, I think my professors probably wouldn't understand if they got emails from "MOM4Evr"... :P

[Albino Pokey]

You could set up a simple PHP form to send emails from whatever name and address you want. I know some people who have played the Wii game Endless Ocean, and am planning to give them a series of cryptic emails from "404 ERROR Sender Not Found". >:-)

[Mark Hutcheson]

Kinda like Kyle Gabler's send-email-from-anywhere-to-anywhere program? Looks cool, but I dunno much PHP. :P

[Albino Pokey]

Wait, what program?

I was thinking of a script along the lines of this:
<?php mail("Albin...@gmail.com","Hi!","This is a simple message.","From:MOM...@vt.edu") ?>

When you view the page, it sends an email to me from "MOM...@vt.edu". There's no way of me knowing that it wasn't from that address, since the domain is right, and that's the only part they can check.

I wrote up a simple JavaScript client to fill in the fields for me, I'll post my code if you want.

[Mark Hutcheson]

DAT EPIC. PLZ POST CODE. :D

I was talking about the program "el Character Assassinator" on the bottom of this page: http://www.kylegabler.com/oldsite/contents/engineering/index.html

His "The Vine" protocol is a cool idea too.

[Albino Pokey]

Okay, that is very cool. I should try that at some point. It uses Telnet?

Anyway, here's my code.

There are a few files in this zip, nothing too complex. I was working on the CSS last night and it's still a work in progress, but at least it's not a blank white background.

A word of caution: GMail can figure out the domain it was sent from, and will say something like "From: MOM4Evr (what...@whatever.com) via vt.edu" in the message. I don't know any other clients that can do that, or any way to get around it without doing what Kyle did.

[Gooballs Of Fire]

Has anyone figured out how to mod Portal 2? That would be awesome!! I
really want to make my own test chambers!

I've made some small mods, but never released any. The first thing you'll want to do is go to "Tools" in Steam and download the Portal 2 Authoring Tools.

But be warned: Portal 2 maps, unlike World of Goo maps, are more like the source code to a program than a file the program uses. You can really do ANYTHING in it. Want a wall to fall down when you place a portal near it? Build a trigger_portal_detector, make the wall a func_physbox with Solid BSP parented to the world, and wire the trigger to the physbox's ClearParent input. I haven't made many maps, but I've pretty much memorized the entity lists and rules. : )

They say that they're going to come out with a simplified level editor at some point, but that "some point" is in Valve time.

[kirdneh]

so basically, about the time when the "coming soon" badges come? :P 

[Mark Hutcheson]

Basically, never.

[kirdneh]

hey look, they changed the icon for google plus "+1'd"!

how do you pronounce "+1'd"? why don't they just say liked or something like that?

[Albino Pokey]

You pronounce it plʌs' wʌnd' or plʌs' wʌn'ɪd, I expect.

[Lucas Bruno]

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! HELP!! I leave away from the site for a week to tour washington d.c. and  I come back and can't check anything on the site because my internet browser displays the entire site upside-down!! Does anyone know what could be wrong?!?

 

The really needing help so I can check out everything updated on the game, Gooballs Of Fire! :(  :O  >(

[Mark Hutcheson]

Hee, hee. Check your calendar. It's April 1st, otherwise known as "April Fool's Day." It's common for people to play pranks/tricks on others, and davidc decided this year he would flip the site upside-down. ;)

-MOM

[Albino Pokey]

It was a cool idea, but not (IMO) as awesome as MOM 2.0.

[kirdneh]

i wonder if anyone will read this post.

I'm still writing music... just not for the game... so let me know when more game is done and I can write more music!

Gooballs

[Hendrik Henderson]

i'm doing science and i'm still alive!

at/by the end of the month, red will finish putting in box2d physics.

[kirdneh]

no one will read this.

Except for you. Because, well, you are reading it right now. 

[Albino Pokey]

Hello again. It's been a while since anyone posted here.

[Lucas Bruno]

Yes yes it has. Is the game still on progress or is it pretty much dead now?

[Hendrik Henderson]

1. Red gave up on Box2D:

http://goofans.com/forum/goofans/goofans-game/3772

 

2. AP took over, than finally cracked Box2D:

http://goofans.com/forum/goofans/goofans-game/3945 

so progress will go faster.

[Albino Pokey]

I'm working on getting Box2D to work with SDL now. At the moment you can see where things are (it prints "Entity X at x:123.4 y:567.8 v:9.0" and the like), but no graphics.

[Lucas Bruno]

!!!! Yay!!! Progress!! Let me know when you guys need more music written!!  ;-)

[Albino Pokey]

Actually, I have an unfinished song to use for an "intro". Fairly simple, probably won't be used in the game, but a nice intro to the multipart music. I should finish that. But I digress.

[Hendrik Henderson]

Cool! upload it here.

[Albino Pokey]

I'm working on it again, it's almost ready. I arranged the semifamous Canon in D Major* (by Pachelbel) for our orchestra, it's fairly simple to play and sounds great.

So far, the instruments I'm using in the arrangement are violin, viola, cello, piano, trumpet, bassoon, percussion, and as many vocalists as possible (a few divisis).

Did I leave out anyone who's currently active on the site, or include anyone who's not?

(Also, nothinggoo, if you're on this list, your part is probably the hardest. I put in some measures of rest before the hardest part, and you should drop the octave if you ever have to.)

Wow, I had completely forgotten about this until Google randomly sent me some kind of notification about it, for some reason. Over 8 years old. Was in middle school then, now I'm in college.
