Yeah, not too sure of the UI stuff. rfuzzo just said there were some weird glitches that were probably related to MFC but, yeah, everything definitely needs fleshing out

So my thinking is to set things up so the group code is separate from the individuals with having to pull the individual branches in with pull requests. Since other contributors…[Read more]

Currently working on copying the bug list from the text file over to the issue tracker. The current versions aren’t pretty but I’ll clean things up after the initial pass.

Copied over the contents of the original readme into the one at the root of the repository. The formatting needs work but I don’t know Markdown yet so will need to do some reading 😛

Also set up the tags for the important points in the commit history. 🙂

Yep! Town sets are definitely something to download. The default town buildings and layouts leave a lot to be desired but there are a few that greatly improve things. The Total Town Replacement Set mostly swaps out the buildings for ones with greater variety while the UK Townset improves the layout and gives you pretty buildings.

Lot of good…[Read more]

Okay, the GitHub issue tracker has been enabled. Sorry about that everyone!

Thread is now live: https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?t=8280

Okay, got the thread posted on the OpenMW forums. Just waiting for the moderators to approve it. I’ll post the link when it goes live 🙂

I hate online shopping. I’m trying to find a lamp in the shape of the constant π and it’s not going well. First, I tried Google for “pi lamp”. Instead of lights, it gives me results for the LAMP stack on a Raspberry Pi. I do most, if not all, of my searches in a private browsing window to get out of the tailored results so this is just their…[Read more]

Great! I’ll get it merged into the main branch and then I need to take care of a few repo things before moving on to the cpplint log. The cppcheck log is vaguer so I’ll start with the former to whittle it down 🙂

Regarding the 100 character line length: I feel the old standard of 80 is archaic. It goes back to the days of 800×600 resolution…[Read more]

Working on running astyle on the project. It’s being a tad troublesome in that it also wants to edit binary files. For some reason, its built-in filters aren’t working (could be the version as I went ahead and built 3.6.7) so I’m going to need to set up some exclusion lists to pass to it. Otherwise, the run seems to have gone well. I’m doing all…[Read more]

Just did an initial test run on a couple of files and Astyle 3.1 (from 2018 and what’s in the repos here) works pretty well but there will be some fine tuning after the runs from the looks of it.

Here are the updated settings:
#Attach braces
style=attach
attach-extern-c
#Use tab for indentation and spaces for…[Read more]

I’m gearing up to run the entire project through astyle. I think I just finished configuring my local astyle settings file but I’ll take another look another day to see if anything else stands out. The style is pretty inconsistent so I figure that I’ll try running it through the styler this go around instead of doing it manually like I did with…[Read more]

Whoops! So Archazia’s Island for Lorcana launched on March 7 for small shops. The big guys will get it on the 14th or 21st. The set contains a lot of goodies. It’s got a board wipe for your ink well as well as a weaker version of Half Shark in the Form of Ratigan along with a host of other useful cards. 🙂

On February 28, 2025 at 1:15 am DeVaultSetter said It’s the culture of corps too, many of the denizens in existence within their hallowed walls have no choice but declare there is no such thing as life outside, before, or after the corp, therefore the corp is seen as the provider and maintainer of all the means of existence and sustenance for the…

Geany’s all ready to go. I’ll make more tweaks to the settings as I need to. All I really need is a text-editor with syntax highlighting 🙂

Fun fact, I used Notepad for Java initially as I hated the IDE we were made to use and I wasn’t allowed to install Notepad++ on the school computers. 😛

Found out this morning as I shutting down Linux that…[Read more]

Over the course of the series, you can see how technology advances in their Stone Age society. For instance, cars are initially powered by running and are powered by critters in a hamster wheel by season 4. There are other bits too, such as the advancement of arms.

I believe it was due to Lucas never being quite happy with the result and wanted…[Read more]

Here’s the updated run on rfuzzo’s repository: https://stearnvault.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cppcheck-cpplint.zip

cpplint is much better while cppcheck hasn’t changed at all. However, the cpplint changes look due to it actually respecting the braces filter this go around. The first time I ran it, it ignored me when I told it to ignore the…[Read more]

After several bad starts, I think I’m getting the hang of OpenTTD again. Right now, I’ve got a basic network of four trains and two coal mines all connected to a power plant. Nothing fancy but it works. I’ve also got a few buses and a mail route between two towns.

Not sure how I want to expand it but I’ll do some more reading of the help files.…[Read more]

Yep, flushdns is pretty useful. Used to use it often back in the DSL days when the network information changed but the cache didn’t update for whatever and resetting the network connection didn’t do the trick. Pretty sure it was a Windows bug in XP at the time. Looks like they suggest trying the Pi Hole in the GitHub issue, which has come up…[Read more]

Ah, okay. Sounds good 🙂

Don’t forget about WinDbg! Pretty helpful to track down driver issues. And it’s also helpful to turn off the automatic restart on STOP errors so that you can better see what’s going on. Of course, Windows has become much more resilient in recent years so, fortunately, BSoDs don’t happen as much as they used to 🙂
