Hi all, me again Now that I've learned how to take screenies on DM (thanks to Aluminumhaste) I wanted to post one that I took but I got an error saying that the image ext that I used was not allowed in these forums, It was .jpg so I changed it to .png and I got the same error again. They're on Photobucket.

Ok, so I wrote a little program in C++ to construct nonsense words according to simple statistical properties (the length of the word & likelihood of letters appearing). Really simple thing. So I wrote it for some interpreter (I forget the name now), using the exact code I got from a C++ textbook, and it worked just fine for that. But now on a new computer, it's like 2 GB to install it. And since I was using MS Visual C++ for Dark Mod stuff anyway, it's a smaller install, & I'd rather just use that, the 2010 version if it matters. (Is Dark Mod still using the 2006 version, or the 2010 version now?) So if I try to run it directly on VC++, it doesn't understand any of the #include and #pragma stuff, so the basic stuff like cin and cout, strings, and the random function, basically any of the functions I'm using, aren't recognized. Also I'm not able to write stuff to a file or get output. My basic question is, what do I need to change or do to get it running on VC++. I'm really newbie when it comes to programming, so feel free to talk to me like a 4 year old. I'm imagining it's just a really simple thing I need to do, so I thought it best just to ask. //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <vcl.h> #pragma hdrstop #include <tchar.h> #include <iostream.h> #include <fstream> using namespace std; using std::cout; // program uses cout using std::cin; // program uses cin using std::endl; // program uses endl #include <cstdlib> // contains function prototype for rand using std::rand; #include <string> using std::string; //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- #pragma argsused int _tmain() { int wordType; bool doitagain = TRUE; bool firstletter = FALSE; int i,j, k; int counter, counter2; string letter; ofstream File("File.txt"); string verb[4]; string noun[20]; string glyph[200]; while( doitagain ) { cout << "Write 100: 1.

Personally I think this is the worst idea ever. The Reason forums has LOADS of info and knowledge, built up through years and years. I'm really sad to see it go away, and I can't understand why they've made this decision. https://www.propellerheads.se/forum/showthread.php?p=1579099#poststop

Hello, I´ve translated A-Z beginner tutorial for Dark radiant into my language. If someone from Czech republic is visiting this forum and not the czech thief forum (www.thiefczsk.net) he will be aware of that. S povolenim autora (Fidcal) jsem prelozil navod na Dark Radiant, editor do Dark Modu. Je to jednoduchy editor, takze se nebojte taky nejakou misi vyrobit. Doufam ze vam v tom pomuze i muj preklad. návod Muj pravopis za moc nestoji, tak prosim tolerujte chyby, ktery tam urcite, i pres snahu je vsechny odhalit, jsou. Dalsi problem je s prekladem pojmu (grid=mrizka, lmb=leve mysitko a pod..). U par vyrazu to zni vylozene blbe, ale vzdycky jsem se snazil je prekladat tak, aby byly srozumitelny pro vsechny. Navod je psany na puvodni verzi Dark Radiantu (editoru). Není s tím problém, novější verze jsou ještě jednodušší a postupy fungují většinou stejně. Nově zabudovaný text editor a particle editor Vám práci dokonce výrazně usnadní. Doufam ze to nekoho zaujme a budeme mit dals FM ktera pochazi z ceskych luhu a haju..

I remember this happening before, but for some reason it is a lot worse now. Constantly, while working in Dark Radiant, my language setting for the keyboard will randomly switch to one which I have installed from the language bar in Windows. I have to then switch it back to English because none of the keyboard shortcuts will work. When I disable the language bar it still happens, but then it means the change is stuck until I restart Dark Radiant. I've got Chinese, Russian, Polish and English. Chinese is the worst because it brings up a bar to type the Pinyin into. Any ideas how I can fix this?
