Grim's final post.

[Ogrish]

Ive been broke for two weeks, and i have a 62 dollar check i cant cash anywhere.
Its a refund from the government after they took to much in taxes, then gave some back, but no place will cash it, except my bank and my account is overdrawn so they wont cash it unless i deposite it.

What the fuck do i pay for overdraft protection for.

You know the economy is bad when stores wont cash a check from the fereral government.

I wanted to take my kids to see Harry potter this weekend with that money.

Oh, and I too am out of pot

[Aumaan Anubis]

Lets see, harry potter is over forever,

Still waiting on my acceptance letter from Hogwarts.

Just watched Game of Thrones Season 1. So good

[Ogrish]

I started watching G.O.T. but it didnt have enough Boobies so I stopped watching.

Fact: The existence of Hogwarts has never been proven nor denied.

I think we will become great wizards.

Hahah, like Spartacus?

I need a new AIM screen name since some creepyfag knows it.
This is three times so far. First was some bot response, second caught me of gaurd with intense levels of creepy, third was blocked preemptively.

No one outside Remnant/Halomods/H2X modding legitimately knows my screen name.

[Ogrish]

Many mod videos on utube have you posted, Username easy for creepies to find, this makes.

[DemonicSandwich]

My AIM screen name is different from my regular online name.
That and my AIM screen name was linked onto to my Remnant account, something only viewable to Remnant users. (I have since removed that reference)
Having a youtube account or youtube videos wouldn't change anything. The videos are private and exempt from search anyway.

The first encounter was from one user. Some automated ad system.
Second encounter was from the same user account. I didn't block it right away since I assumed he was a Remnant user.
(some of you fuckers like to use different Remnant/AIM names so it's hard to tell sometimes)
But turned creepy real fast and I blocked it. Checked an archived AIM log and found it was an ad account I forgot to block.
The third encounter was likely the same person with another sockpuppet who just looked up screen names from the first account's list. Didn't bother with it and just blocked it right after getting my last word in.

I don't even use AIM any more since 90% of incoming IMs are from bots.

Best way to contact me is Steam, it's almost always running on my computer and I have never got an automated message(even though I plastered my Steam username everywhere).

Your logic is... undeniable.

Auror material right here.

Also, I am going to expelliarmus the shit out of you. All the time.

So my TV/Monitor broke...

Its under warranty so I phone up LG and they arranged for it to be replaced...

On the 1st delivery attempt, the delivery company DPD had been given the wrong address.
On the 2nd delivery attempt, they arrived over an hour before the "delivery window" which they had provided me with and thus I wasn't there.
On the 3rd delivery attempt, the replacement TV/Monitor was in a worse condition than the one they took from me in exchange.

WTF

As for searching via the unique id, you were probably trying to search for it in big endian byte ordering, when the xbox is in little endian.

This is baking my brain and what it means for any 4 byte value and the auto-generated plugins.

I can't figure out if I miss using anti-aliasing on my computer or not

As for searching via the unique id, you were probably trying to search for it in big endian byte ordering, when the xbox is in little endian.

This is baking my brain and what it means for any 4 byte value and the auto-generated plugins.

Depending on the computer system (PC/Mac), software, etc, a value, such as an INT32 can be stored either with the least significant byte first or last. For example:
if you punch 46546213 into windows calculator and turn it to hex, you get 02 C6 3D 25
Now if you did that on a Mac, you may get 25 3D C6 02

It depends on the system on how to store those numbers. This is referred to as Big Endian or Little Endian byte ordering.
We typically use Big Endian, so as with the decimal format, when we look at the numbers, the numbers making the largest impact are on the left:
FF 00 00 00 = 4278190080
00 00 00 FF = 255

Little Endian:
00 00 00 FF= 4278190080
FF 00 00 00 = 255

Working with these numbers usually means no difference, unless you are looking at the raw data (in say a hex viewer )
Hope this helps.

Fucking rats, not over yet

When you detect 1 rat you have rats

Thanks it does help, it's one of those until you know about it, it doesn't matter kind of thing (like conventional and real current direction, that baked my brain for a while)
And it explains why the (final ENTS) enum32 for light map policy always gives a stupidly high number but this can be resolved by changing it to a unused2 and short

[OwnZ joO]

It's also sometimes called Intel/Motorola where Intel is Little Endian I believe.

meh, I said Big Endian, but honestly, I can never remember which is which. All that's important is that you realize the two (main) methods of storing values.

Ah, yes. Crappy conventional current direction, like saying the sun revolves around the earth.
As for the second part, it shouldn't effect that at all. You are probably right that it is actually supposed to be two different values or it's some different type of data other than Enum altogether.
It's kind of like they used some sort of opposite Endian ordering for the tag types (being all backwards)

[OwnZ joO]

I wasn't saying you were wrong Troy, just that they are sometimes referred to by those names also, I just remember seeing it other places like the Documentation for PPF patches where they said Intel byte order instead of Little Endian.

Fucking typical my HDD has just given up Master whatever corrupt all my modding shit was on there my map that had at least 40 hours spent on it gone....... to add insult to injury both versions of H2 on my xbox have a knackered non loading version of my map............ fuck fuck fuck any guidance on recoving data from shagged HDD's

[OwnZ joO]

Nonloading in game or in editors?
