Topic Create

[Ozzy10]

ok as some will know the topic in tg channel has changed

i made it using this

Man you must be seriously bored! What happened to RC racing?

 

 

... well done, sorry it's just all these dialogs and stuff you've been making seem really basic and below your level.

 

I mean, bottom line is yer having fun and happy, I just expect more from ya.

 

 

Is that using mdx or dcx?

[Ozzy10]

using mdx

the preview is a custom window grabed using mdx

every time you change something in the bottom box it previews it in real time in the top one

bit more to add to it but its nearly done

 

 

and i am doing dialogs when i cant go out

and there not basic

i do each lot of code in a new way

like i did with all the other dialogs

[err0r]

i think if i were to do that i would rather do the colors in a drop down (dcx really has great system for that) i don't much like having all the color blocks.. just makes it look a little n00bish.. Maybe add a counter for the limit of topic characters..

 

While i think sometimes ozzy's dialogs do look a bit ordinary, his backend coding is top notch and where his real talent shines

 

keep em comin

GUI design isn't his forte, but, the concept is neat. I agree with err0r re. the drop down box and character limit. Also, in response to the back end coding comment, couldn't agree more.

Yeah I like DCX's color options but it's so much code!

 

For instance, this is just loading a color combo with colors on init.

you got to remember though, DCX doesn't use any dialog controls what so ever. So the fact you have to do all that code, you need to remember that you aren't doing any dialog code at all, so for the sacrifice of one, you benefit in the other.

[Ozzy10]

dcx doesnt like vista though , thats why i dont use it

i tried to dock a dialog over mircs nicklist and it doesnt work correctly

so after wasting all that time trying i decided to dump dcx and go back to mdx

I personally use this .dll for for my colour combo needs.Though I'm sure you've heard of it/used it before.
