I turned off themes and my style to no avail. :( edit: I'm thinking maybe one of the system fonts got corrupted or something like that, I'm wondering if I find a download for the standard system fonts and see if that helps.

Ah right, wrong uploader. Better? edit: This sounds like my problem, however I've never used anything McAfee.

So every once in a while, I come along a program that doesn't want to display the text on my computer. Example: I'm assuming this is probably one of those MFC issues or something like that, but I'm not sure how to fix this. Any suggestions?

Try TopCoder.com They've got piles of sample questions and apparently contests for money.

According to Valve, the upload bandwidth per client you'll need (approximately) is 2.85 KB/s. I'd go with 3 or 4 to be safe, so for a good 4 person server make sure your upload speed is at least 15KB/s or so upload speed. You have a cable connection though, so that shouldn't be a problem. I...

Ok I'm stuck again. I'm having several problems but most of them have to do with the actual MIDI data, so I don't expect too much help with that kind of stuff here. The big problem is that on short files, the program seems to work fine - usually, but on the longer files, the program often gets...

Thanks a lot Mike, that fixed it up. I haven't managed to get the MFC version you described working correctly yet, I read in the first character of the file in that manner and it wasn't the right character (hard to explain), but I'm going to fiddle with that some more before I press you to...

Thanks for all that Mike, I'll have to play around with that in a bit. I did end up rewriting the portion of the code in standard c to test out some stuff though, and came across something that really, really confused me. Here's the code I came up with: char target[4]...

Okay, here's how I was trying to test it out to see if I could actually get the program to find a instance, any instance of the 0x99 byte. Whenever I run it, it always comes up with nothing (-1 in the pop up message box). It's not pretty, but I can't figure out why it won't work. // open our...

The problem isn't getting the file into a buffer, I can do that fine. The problem is dealing with the buffer as hexidecimal content rather than character strings.

Here's the deal, I'm trying to write a function that will open up a midi file, find a note (a hex value of 0x99 will appear just before the note) and modify the note and the velocity. I think once I can come up with a feasible way of identifying those bytes in the file with hex values of 0x99...

Awesome.

All the sudden it looks like the contrast and gamma are maxed out or something. Tried uninstalling the codec pack I have - didn't change anything. Disabled hardware acceleration and it's fixed. My friend who also has a 6800GT and those drivers has the same problem. Did Nvidia fuck up and release...

video card forum?

Then speak english, so we can understand what you're asking.

6800GT. No problems.

If Norton wouldn't do it, I'd go for Charlie Sheen. edit: or Michael Douglass (if he could still do the whole "Falling Down" thing) or even Johnny Depp cause there's nothing he can't do Oh and I second the Jessica Alba vote. But Connery? Not unless he could ditch the signature Connery...

it's 1 am for arizona

That was pretty funny, although I'm guessing you'll see the same kind of idiocy in the HL2 lines.

all i have to say is: steampowered.com

HL:S comes in the silver package too you know.

What he said, and as for upgrading, I'd say probably not. Worry not though, I'm sure you'll be able to get it separately for fairly cheap.

Nail has been hit. /thread

Keep in mind that this is the person that created this thread: link

So you can say that HL2 looks awful but you criticize people when they say it looks great? Interesting. But really, lets look at the reasoning behind both sides: On the one hand, we have people who review games for a living telling us that this just might be the best game ever made. We have...

What he said, and are you a subscriber or is it out on shelves now?

Just so you guys know, that's the review from PC Gamer UK, not the US one that comes out on Tuesday.

Quote for truth.

Co-op was a mod. It didn't come with the original HL either. Sven will probably mod HL2 to be co-op. Quitcherbitchen edit: beaten . :(

Preview != Review. You're going to have to wait a while.

Haven't played it since mid-August. I got halfway through the game and got bored.

Well they aren't going to announce it, so to answer your question: don't nobody know. My guess is that they sent the RC off late today or possibly tomorrow and that it'll go gold Friday or Saturday and we'll hear an announcement Monday. That is, if everything goes according to plan, which it...

damn right

HL2 is going to come out and 85% of the threads here will be about how good the game is and about 15% will be about how much it sucks, just like with Doom 3. Then the SDK will get released and mods will be made which will probably convert 5-10% of that 15% and then threads will just start...

This thread is overflowing with stupidity.

then you haven't been paying attention. steam users have 2 gigs of HL2 content on their hard drives right now.

cs2 won't be out for a long ass time. virtually no information is known about it, but valve employees have said it's far in the future and that they're pretty much just leaving it a "to-do" on their list of things to do. they're just trying to get hl2 out now. cs: s is counter-strike with the...

But why? The ad doesn't say anything about the game, aside from the fact that it will be done soon, which noone with a brain doubts. Why fake something if it's not going to cause a big stir?

My Voodoo II was the only one that did that to me.
