When I first connect to the player and view the Wendy flags on it, Emplode and Jemplode disagree as to exactly how I've set up my flags.



My config.ini looks like this. Note that it does look a little odd, but all I've ever done is edit the Wendy flags with Emplode, so if it looks odd, it's Not My Fault.

    [custom]
    wendy=Tod is present,2,2/Jenny is present,1,0
    [wendy]
    flag_amount=2
    flag31=Wendy flag 32
    flag30=Wendy flag 31
    flag29=Wendy flag 30
    flag28=Wendy flag 29
    flag27=Wendy flag 28
    flag26=Wendy flag 27
    flag25=Wendy flag 26
    flag24=Wendy flag 25
    flag23=Wendy flag 24
    flag22=Wendy flag 23
    flag21=Wendy flag 22
    flag20=Wendy flag 21
    flag19=Wendy flag 20
    flag18=Wendy flag 19
    flag17=Wendy flag 18
    flag16=Wendy flag 17
    flag15=Wendy flag 16
    flag14=Wendy flag 15
    flag13=Wendy flag 14
    flag12=Wendy flag 13
    flag11=Wendy flag 12
    flag10=Wendy flag 11
    flag9=Wendy flag 10
    flag8=Wendy flag 9
    flag7=Wendy flag 8
    flag6=Wendy flag 7
    flag5=Wendy flag 6
    flag4=Wendy flag 5
    flag3=Wendy flag 4
    flag2=Test Wendy Flag
    flag1=Tod Likes
    flag0=Jenny Hates

Oh, and slightly off-topic, in case he didn't mention it elsewhere, Tom fixed it so that PNG graphics can now work in "image" tags on this BBS. The graphic above is a PNG.

As a fairly clueless Windows user (I've spent most of my life using "real" OS's.) I'd like to ask you the best way to generate those PNG dumps of regions of your desktop or screen such as you have shown above.

I know there are lots of little "snapshot" type utils for *nix, and some long-ago macs
would dump a screen bitmap to disk at a certain keystroke (I assume they still do
but I don't know).

Anyway, I poked around on my Windows machine and looked through the wonderfully useless help utility, but to no avail.

I assume there is a well-known keystroke or utility that will dump the entire screen, or let me select a rectangle for the clipboard. Someone please enlighten me as to how this is accomplished in the Gates and Ballmer universe.

Thanks,
music

PrintScreen and Alt-PrintScreen paste the entire desktop and the topmost window, respectively, into the clipboard, at which point you can then paste it into your favorite image editor.

Apprently the format of the wendy config line is not at all what I thought it was ... it's reall misleading when you only put two entries in (I guessed that it was comma separated w/ one entry for each wendy flag that specified nothing, on or off). Apparently it's not that _at all_.... I'm looking into it now..

Ah .. it appears that they're two bitsets that you put together to figure out the tristate value... ok... i'll have this fixed in a minute.

Merci beaucoup for filling in a small gap in my gaping maw of Windows ignorance.
I always thought that printscr button was an antique relic of a bygone day.
Now I have a new toy to play with. ("Mmmmmm, tasty bitmaps.")
Of course, now I'm wondering if there is more to the "scroll lock" or "pause/break"
keys than meet the eye.

We now conclude this off-topic diversion, and return to getting the Wendy Flags up to snuff.
Man, I do really want the player bug fixed that requires constant
re-shuffling when changing between Wendy Filters to make them actually work!

Of course, now I'm wondering if there is more to the "scroll lock" or "pause/break" keys than meet the eye.

In those applications that support it, the scroll lock key locks the cursor where it is, moving the whole document around. That means that with scroll lock enabled, you control the scrolling of a document and not the movement of the cursor with the cursor keys. Under most Unix dialects, Scroll Lock is halting all text output of an application and resumes output again. Unless the application is requesting input, it is still running in the background usually, its output just doesn't get displayed.

As for the Pause/Break key, those are only meaningful in commandline applications. Pause pauses the running application and resumes it again, Break is almost the same as sending CTRL-C. Don't ask me if pressing the key without shift/ctrl/alt is sending Pause or Break, and don't ask me which key combination is sending the other one either. I don't remember that.

cu,
sven

It seems like ctrl-break sent an ASCII BRK back in the day.
And I always assumed that the Pause button just sent
Ctrl-S and Ctrl-Q, but I was never really sure (obviously).

Totally off topic, but...

Why/When did it become the standard for computer games to use the "P" key to pause the game instead of the Pause key? I mean, come on, here's this perfectly good little key, all nice and labeled for the purpose of pausing, and most games don't use it.
