The Dink Network

I've just been getting down to the bones of Nerux, and I'm beginning to feel like banging my head against the wall. Sure, it's all fun and games when you're creating interesting environments, but this is INSANE. Surely it can't take this much effort JUST TO MAKE THE BLOODY ROCK VANISH!?!

Spleen vented. Carry on.

Did you figure it out? I can think of a couple ways...

Use visions, setting the rock to vision 1 and determining whether or not to view it in the base script.

Or if you need to make the rock disappear in its own script, try using sp_hard(&current_sprite,1); draw_hard_map(); and sp_nodraw(&current_sprite,1);

Heh, actually I managed it about 5 minutes after I wrote this. It's still far too much effort for a fairly superfluous part of the game though. I ended up using sp_active(&current_sprite,0); in the end, although it meant I had to fiddle around with the script a bit so that the game would fade up and unfreeze afterwards. Funny how you can cram in one or two commands after deactivating the object, hmm?

I had bad experiences with visions - when making CC, the plan was to have all the slayers in the caves vanish when you killed the mother. Unfortunately, for some reason this crashed the comp every time, so we just left them in the end.

I have a question, is it wrong to bump the oldest post in a forum for no apparent reason? This particular bump having a reason though the reason to ask this question. Which isn’t really a reason but it is off topic so it deserves to be bumped to a off topic level but if the topic was the topic at which I was topicafing then I shouldn’t bump this old thread rather start a new one on the same topic, but in saying that this is not the same topic but a random reincarnation of a topic to see what people say about my apparent bumpage. The bumpage that has no reason and thus no mean to exist, it technically shouldn’t exist but the reason to bump is now to say that the reason should not exist making a reason to bump this random thread. But in saying that bumping a random thread leads to ducklings and ducklings lead to ducks that lead to quacking, and quacking is a sound a sound in which sounds like a quack, quack. A quack is a sound made by a duck while a cow goes moo bringing bumpage reasoning to the topic at hand and allowing the bump to take place in the bumpages of the bump in the bump. Back to the cow the cow goes moo and eats grass this grass is digested and becomes fat and cow, which later becomes out food in which we eat that allows me to have the energy to write such a pointless post. But this is not just a normal pointless post since it is also a bump post giving it reason and with a reason it is no longer pointless meaning it is no longer a meaningless bump. Now lets look at some of that in equation format.

cow+grass=moo+meat. meet+eating=energy. energy+dinknetwork=random bumpage.

From this equasion we can conclude the following:

I am bored

I am hyper

I like ducks they are cute

Brining back the pointless bumpage and the duck we see the world is that of a dolphin’s imagination. Tal is similar to a dolphin in how he is alive, in saying that redink1 is similar to a dolphin for the same basic reason meaning that the pointless bumpage and the ducks are all due to a conspiracy by the state. A state run by Magician with the help of a random fling banana. This banana being the basis for all intellect conversation on the network and thus also being the exact opposite of this post.

Meaning this post isn’t yellow and tastes bad also it means that monkeys do NOT like this post. And since this post is a bump then they also don’t like this bump. Now if monkeys don’t like this bump then they will not be seen on this bumped thread and thus may decide to leave all together. Also if this bump is different to a banana then that means it is different then this

Who is also the template for the porn banana meaning that the porn banana is the exact opposite to this bump? Science and logic dictate that this means this bump is a guy and not a banana. Now on to fish, fish are good since they swim and swimming is good. Do you like swimming?

If you answered yes then you are similar to a duck and thus to quacking and thus to this bump meaning you are part of the reason this bump exists which means even by reading a little bit of this YOU ARE TO BLAME!

And since everyone blames people for everything and since everyone are the people who read this bump then that dictates that you blame yourselves and everything else on everything. Or something likes that.

In a perfect world people would NOT bump things and they would also not post random bits of stuff of Wikipeada.

Random-access memory (commonly known by its acronym RAM) refers to data storage formats and equipment that allow the stored data to be accessed in any order — that is, at random, not just in sequence. In contrast, other types of memory devices (such as magnetic tapes, disks, and drums) can access data on the storage medium only in a predetermined order due to constraints in their mechanical design.

Generally, RAM in a computer is considered main memory (or primary storage): the working area used for displaying and manipulating data. This type of RAM is usually in the form of integrated circuits (IC). These are commonly called memory sticks or RAM sticks because they are manufactured as small circuit boards with plastic packaging and are about the size of a few sticks of gum. Most personal computers have slots for adding and replacing memory chips.

RAM is typically erased when a computer is shut down, though some RAM chips maintain data indefinitely without electrical power. Technically, RAM devices are not limited to memory chips, and random-access memory as a storage format is not limited to use as working memory. In a broad sense, modern storage devices for long-term or secondary storage, including magnetic media and laser-readable CDs and DVDs, are forms of random-access memory.

Wiktionary has related dictionary definitions, such as:
RAM, random access memory

Most RAM can be both written to and read from, so "RAM" is often used interchangeably with "read-write memory." In this sense, RAM is the opposite of read-only memory (ROM). Strictly speaking, however, "RAM" and "ROM" are not mutually exclusive designations because "RAM" refers only to the method of accessing stored data, not whether data can be written.

But you must remember this is not a perfect world and thus bumps like this and wiki related content like this

Will happen so you must be ready! you must be prepaired!

I am offically selling insurance to combat these random wiki appearences and all they cost is your soul and a certain amount of long wooden objects that you write with

Buy 1 million pencils and your life will gain meaning much like this bump has.

Buy 2 million pencils and the love of your life will leave you for your dog.

Buy 7.8 Trillion pencils and the world will possibly be divoid of trees.

Trees are good though and thus it is bad to do that last one.

Ah yes but if you want the PRO insurance, this covers acidental bumps and house and home content removal then you must not buy pencils but melons!

Buy 6.53 million watermelons and have no place to live, this deal comes with a free cup holder

But 6.53 million RockMellons and you will be able to feed a small african country for a month and get a free cup holder.

Bye 1 mellon and we will give you NOTHING not even the pollicy.

And lets face it do you like wiki? I personly love wiki, and ducks, ducks are cute. When you purchase the pencils and give me your soul then the pollicy will be given, in the event of a bump of a random wiki then you will have to pay me 1.23 million in royalties.

You may notice there are no smilies in this post, the reason for that is one of two:

Im too lazy

or

This is a serious thread

I belive that this MUST be a serious thread and that the world is just a giant duck. quack. please be considerate when voicing your replies and remember dolphins like you, well most of you I dont know if they like Vortex, then again it really depends since eairler we worked out the simularities between Tal, Redink and a Dolphin then thecniaclly it would be possible to ask them what dolphins think about Vortex. We already know they hate Dink Killer. If dolphins hate Dink Killer then they must like dink meaning that there is another simularity to Redink and Tal. This means if we can get into the minds of a wild dolphin we should be able to see and sense the inner most thoughts of Redink and Tal!

Think of the possiblities if we managed to work out how they think we would be able to eat pie! Imagine it now, Pie. mmmmm Dibs on the mixed berry one! mmmmmm tasty... I wonder if anyone will read all of this? im surprised I am writing so much information to justify a bump. Now me putting so much effort into a simple bump must mean there is a important message. Now we must work out what that is, what is it you may ask? that is why I am asking you and thus the message is me to you to work out what the message is which means now you know the message I will have to change the message. Give me a few seconds.. wait... ahhhh there we go, oh yeah I was meant to be comming up with a new message oh well the new wafting smell in this thread must be enough.

Anyway I hope you feel a bit more educated after my little bump. and I hope you read it all. If you didnt.. YOU SUCK if you did you must feel enlightened.

This is stupid.
