Does Wolfenstein: The New Order come on multiple discs?
-
Lol. That's crazy! Do game cases nowadays only contain codes? I mean, it's a good thing if that's the case. I haven't used a single CD or DVD in like 4 years+ and I don't even have a CD/DVD drive that I can use, I'd have to go pick up and set up one that I have stored in the basement. XD

[DiET]: Veganism - (Kidney) Beans cause bloating
SiRaLeX replied to SiRaLeX's topic in General Discussion
Thanks for your reply and wise words, X3M. I guess I'm overeating, but it's hard not to overeat beans as they're tasty and especially if they're part of a chilli. I've never really tried eating only 1 bean, but if I recall correctly eating only a few beans that are part of a salad won't cause much of a trouble. What I was after, though, is someone telling me about their experiences with stuff like Beano: http://www.beanogas.com/ (hence me asking about what you can do, if anything, to combat it) -
Hello dear CnCNet, In particular I'd like to address this to PrEP. Since I know that he's a vegan and beans are an integral component of VEGAiNiSM. First off, I'm aware that a normal human cannot really digest beans (I'm not going to go into any detail here). Well, I've recently started eating [kidney] beans again (which I have kinda stopped eating like 1 year ago for this same reason). Anyways, I used to absolutely love beans and I still do. They taste great alone or in greater dishes. But every time I eat beans they are causing me immense bloating and intestinal gas to the point where it's extremely unpleasant. So my question to you all is: - Do you have the same reaction? - What do you do, can you even do anything meaningful to combat it? - Should I stop eating beans? :picsnow: Greetings, SiRaLeX

Why are you working in employment if you claim to be a "pro poker player"? But yeah, if you're as bad in poker as in last nights YR tournament then I'm not surprised. :laugh:

I don't use the book of faces either. Would love if you post more screenshots here so I can admire your dedication and C++ skillez.

By "cnc" he means CnCNet, just like he is referring to the other servers and not the actual game. Judging by my training and experience, he means the game "Yuri's Revenge".
-
He said he got the "XWIS" version. In that case he should bug them on their forums.

Hello, sorry to hear this. For us to check out what's going wrong, could you upload your except.txt found in your game directory where CnCNet is installed. Main executable errors don't generate except.txt. Internal errors, do.
-
Honestly, many people (including myself) install old games to enjoy playing them again after many years or even just playing an old game that I've always wanted to play for the first time. If then trying to get online doesn't work or just seems too complicated people let it go and just leave after finishing the Single Player. Also, you're probably the biggest moron on these forums.

"Kaboom"'s or whatever the fuck you wanna call it. Are basically errors that whoever made the Client didn't expect to happen. Those errors are thrown as CLR exceptions and aren't caught and handled at the appropriate locations inside the code. What this leads to is propagation of the exception all the way up the call stack where a last exception handler is installed just to prevent the .NET Runtime from terminating the program in an ugly way. Anyways, that last exception handler then shows that MessageBox with the caption "KABOOM..." and the details about that particular fatal System.Exception object. Once you press "OK" on the MessageBox the thread where this happened in would terminate and leave the Client in an unusable/non-functional/unstable state. That's why you want to close and restart it at that point. Yes, I know I'm nice for explaining, thanks, thanks.

On XWIS, you need to first register, and then spend an RA2 serial to make a nick. Beats CnCNet's free entry to anyone wanting to pose as you. That's how WOL worked too. You couldn't just make a nick without a serial... And XWIS is WOL, basically. If you find simple registration to be hard, I have some bad news for you. I have some bad news for you too, you're super ignorant and arrogant. Good luck finding friends in real life.

They can (and did) develop some things Westwood never did, like that auto-screenshot mechanic. They also fixed both RA2 and YR for Win8/Win10. So, they can develop beyond WOL constraints, particularly the executables. They also have a registration system that makes it harder to impersonate people. How does the registration system make it harder to impersonate people? It definitely doesn't make it any harder to impersonate people than on WOL. The only thing it makes harder is for new players to come to XWIS. Because it's complicated as fuck. Makes every claim of a game dying that much funnier :laugh: It is dead. On XWIS at least. Though, that server has always been grossly mismanaged. Auto SS added at least the glimpse of a hope when 8 or 9 out of every months TOP #10 players were cheaters and at that point, sadly, everything was already too late. Auto SS is great but it can't fix all the years of poor server management.

As tomsons26 says, except.txt is where the shit's at!

The Red Alert 2 balance suggestion thread (Made for funsies)
SiRaLeX replied to Philpy95's topic in Red Alert 2
Wrong. With proper play Allied (America/Korea/France) will stomp any Yuri or Soviet Country. how about a game later on, I'm going allied and you take yr show me proper play (map cs). How about you accept Sunny's challenge, Korc?! -

SiRaLeX replied to Philpy95's topic in Red Alert 2
Not entirely right. Planes aren't VehicleTypes, indeed, they are there to support your "real" units. But all naval units are, in fact, VehicleTypes, so they are "real" units. Pretty much everyone on XWIS bailed Yuri all the time and still everyone mandates how you cannot pick Yuri. I mean how the fuck are new players (even the stubborn old ones) supposed to learn to play against Yuri? Saying that Yuri is overpowered is just pure stupidity/cowardice and hypocrisy because most of those people then pick Allies, which are the real strongest side. -
Neo, no-one likes you. Now go take a walk in the forest and, oh wait...

"Solved" it already. Added detection for unary operators. // first handle unary operators (preceeded by another operator, a parenthesis or first token of the input) token_type prev = prev_tok.type; if (prev == token_type::op || prev == token_type::paren_left || prev == token_type::none) { if (tok.lexeme.front() == '-') { // mark unary minus tok.lexeme = "#"; } if (tok.lexeme.front() == '+') { // ignore any unary plus continue; } }

Well, I finally decided to use the Shunting Yard approach and after writing 400 lines today I got a fully fledged expression parser and evaluator. The problem which I'm facing now: I don't know how to deal with unary minuses. When I'm evaluating an expression I have no way of knowing whether the minus is unary or binary because RPN doesn't account for it. :puppydog: I figured that 1 way to deal with it would be just prefixing every unary minus with a 0. So -hack() becomes 0 - hack(), which would work. But in the case of x / -hack() I cannot just prepend a 0 because that would become x / 0 - hack(). Does anyone have any idea how to go about this? Is there even any way to use unary operators in RPN? I read that I could invent one myself, which I guess is what I'm going to do next. :roll:

How often is Arctic Circle played in 4v4? Almost never? Go figure...
-
Very useful post! Keep it up... The likelihood of someone using a cheat in an 8 player game or just a game error of some sort is simply off the charts. How many 4v4 maps is there? 2? 3? And this appears to be the only one that has Naval.

SiRaLeX replied to Philpy95's topic in Red Alert 2
I didn't play in 5 years, that's correct. Yes, please make Apocalypse Tanks shoot while moving. So now you suddenly acknowledge that Soviets are the weakest faction and need to use "lame tactics" like Engineers to win against an Allied player? So you finally managed to comprehend the 6 pages in this topic? Now you also acknowledge what I've been posting on all the previous pages that the Yuri faction has the hardest time of all to scout the map and therefore is susceptible to a lot of surprise attacks? :) On maps where something like that is useful, namely Isle of War it is extremely hard for Yuri to scout. Yuri has the hardest time of all factions to scout the map. Besides, even if Yuri pulls an early Boomer on Isle of War an equally skilled opponent will easily smash the Yuri on land and can just move his MCV to where the Boomer can't reach, "GG". :) -
Yes. Can you help me?

Reduce the number of playable countries? (RA1)
SiRaLeX replied to Askeladd's topic in Modding Discussion
Because humans use decimal? -
Dear CnCNet-Forums, I've been looking to develop a math-parser since a looong time but have never got around to actually do it. So the difficulty is to actually parse mathematical expressions into terms/operators/functions so as to be able to analyze and solve them later. As far as I'm aware there's 4 ways to do it: Using Dijkstras shunting-yard algorithm Writing a recursive descent parser by hand Using a parser generator like Boost.Spirit Using RegEx (I believe this would be the worst option although it could work) So, I'm actually leaning towards rolling a recursive descent parser by hand as I believe it to be the best, most extensible, generic and customizable solution although it would probably be the most work of all of these. Basically, I've had discussions with Frank "zzattack" Razenberg about it and he suggests using the shunting-yard approach as we both agree that it would most likely be the fastest/easiest to do as it's specialized for mathematical expressions, although I am not sure how well this would work with really complex expressions that include many variables or even vector math. Frank seems to think that it wouldn't be a problem but I'm not so sure about this. I didn't even think about abusing RegEx to do it, but that's what Frank told me he used before to make a differential calculator. Has anyone ever done anything similar in the past and can contribute?! Greetings, SiRaLeX
