HA!!! I don't need to restructure my item system!!! It turns out i was making it WAY harder than it needed to be, the problem was that when i would use an item and delete it, the index integer that all the items hold wouldn't update so when the inventory used that index to access object members, if the index was 10 and there was 2 items, i would get a vector subscript out of range! What i probably did that screwed it up before was add in alot of crap to the engine that i though would fix the *health=h; problem. Luckily, i had a one day old backup of the engine stored on mi pc BEFORE i screwed it up! So now, THE ITEM SYSTEM IS UP AND RUNNING! Now all i have to fix is my itouch's white screen of death

Dude that's awesome! Scrolling is awesome, i did a map scrolling demo, and I just thought it was the coolest thing, even though its such a simple concept. Map loading is also a big leap. And now I'm gonna go play mario!
and I tried to leave a comment, but I think youtube screwed up, and didn't post it.... Ugh, they better get that shit fixed soon...

Ok, since my WINDOWS laptop has been infected with 10 viruses, i've temporarily switches to Ubuntu. I've managed to get my engine to run but i have a few problems...
It doesnt seem to handle strings like windows, either that or the file system thingy (for lack of a better name) doesn't work the same. There will be something like this:
Code: Select all
string temp;
BITMAP * sprite_sheet;
string f_name; //name of bitmap
getline(file,temp);
f_name=temp; //lets say this == hello.bmp
sprite_sheet=load_bitmap(f_name.c_str(),NULL); //This doesnt work;
It wont find the file, however, this works:
Code: Select all
BITMAP * sprite_sheet;
sprite_sheet=load_bitmap("hello.bmp",NULL);
I cant figure it out...

I finally got toLua++ to compile and work! I now have a question, how do you pass a pointer to a class to lua? Like:
Rather than create new instances of classes, or maybe i've got it all wrong...
EDIT:
Got it to work

Since i cant seem to figure out what else to put in my engine, i'm working on a site for it right now.
http://mv2112.podzone.org/
The site isn't guaranteed to be up all the time because i'm hosting it directly from my house. Right now, it just links to my old page, youtube account and a prototype social networking site project that i forgot about.
Also, DO NOT try and access my ftp
. It autobans after 3 incorrect logins and it logs all IPs.

Most home users have dynamic IPs which negates both of those.

Looks like it's time to use brute-force...

bruteforce wouldn't work, it kicks after 3 tries, unless if you use a proxy server, but you would need an awful lot of them, and it would most likely not worth it to hack into there, now I should probably say this so I don't get into trouble, I don't hack, and look down on people who do hack, there is no reason to do it, unless if you are using your own stuff, for prevention.

I was joking of course, and why in the world would you get in trouble?
It's not like you said anything that only hackers would know or something, just common knowledge.
