I got the 64 GB model as the OS itself takes up ~23 GB, which wouldn’t have left a whole lot for the cache and other stuff.

The size of the display is a nice fit for me: not too large and not too big. I do have trouble with the onscreen keyboard but I have trouble with that feature everywhere. I just never got the hang of typing on a screen, is…[Read more]

Doesn’t look like there’s a community resource for the file formats for Fallout and Starfield. May add the resource to the to-do list at some point as it’s something that the community is sorely lacking. We need a place to describe the processes and such so that we know what all is going on and don’t rely on a singly tool as gatekeeper. We went…[Read more]

And let’s not forget dolphins! They’ve been known to help out divers, which isn’t really mentioned on Wiki for some reason.

I’m assuming that’s for individual reviews?

Had this interesting article come in the other day. That sort of thing is always a good read 🙂

Picked up an A7 Lite a few years back. It’s not bad but it does have trouble loading heavier web pages and can’t handle GIFs at all. At some point, I’ll probably upgrade to a more powerful model but it’s good enough for basic browsing and work 🙂

The scr files are related to the script compiler. Like I said, poorly documented. 😛

At some point, I may look into replacing the parser with something like flex or bison. Not sure if it’s possible, though, as I’ve never used them before

Good catch on the text file reference. Will need to add the link somewhere for reference

0.6.3 should be…[Read more]

Figured it out, to some degree. The journal dialog is supposed to set up the quest sub-records (QSTN, QSTF, and QSTR) with the INFO record. It’s possible the script stuff is meant to link it up but those are only in the parent INFO so I’m not entirely sure. We’ll definitely need to review the community documentation on the file format (and I’ll…[Read more]

Linus has some good ones, too: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds

Yay! Rain! We’re still pretty dry but we’re supposed to get a storm today. Then dryness again. 😛

Yeah, the pythons are a big problem here. They’re now experimenting with robots to try and get them under control!

The Windows API has most of its type-defs and macros in three main files: windef.h, ‘winnt.h, andwinuser.h`. It’s mostly a matter of searching that list for those specific ones and adding the correct header(s). 🙂 The other symbols (the classes and structs) require more work to track down, partly because search engines have gotten so bad that they…[Read more]

Messed up the include order for several files. I’ll fix it when I go back through to add the correct headers for the Windows macros.

All of this is necessary work even if it’s tedious and not at all exciting

Thanks! Will try that if adding just what we need doesn’t do the trick 🙂

There are also some comments suggesting that the long types may in fact be intended as short integers so we’ll definitely want to do an investigation to determine what they should be. Yep, std::atol would do the trick for 64-bit integers. There’s no corresponding function…[Read more]

Ugh…those includes in common may be an issue. I’m trying to avoid using WinSock entirely as MWEdit doesn’t use any kind of network code and that would cause unneeded bloat. Can be added if needed, though, if things can’t be whittled down enough.

Unless I’m mistaken, shouldn’t WinSock 2 be used after the basic Windows header so it overrides the…[Read more]

Yeah, I’m not sure what the XML parser is for at the moment. Even in the other projects, I didn’t see anything that used it. From what I could tell, CSV was the only file parser that was used in the extra file support but I haven’t finished going through all of the code in detail yet (I’m currently on the undo stack support).

What does OpenMW use…[Read more]

Unfortunately, without that flag, it exposed a known bug in the Windows API where it tries to use WinSock 1 even though it’s unneeded where MFC needs version 2. Release had no issues so it’s something on Microsoft’s end with the _DEBUG flag and disabling everything extra and manually adding only the stuff we use was the only way to fix it (I hope,…[Read more]

Looks like MinGW supports them in resource files. Not sure about standalone ones but referencing them in the resource file with
#include "winuser.h" // required for RT_MANIFEST constant
CREATEPROCESS_MANIFEST_RESOURCE_ID RT_MANIFEST "application.manifest"

should be fine. Not sure which method I prefer but it looks like it’ll work regardless for…[Read more]

This could be a result of MFC updates over the years, where the old stuff was superseded by newer functions. Here’s a sample of what I’m looking at:
int CCustRichEdit::GetCurLineCharPos() {
long StartChar;
long EndChar;
int CharPos;
GetSel(StartChar, EndChar);
CharPos = StartChar - LineIndex(-1);
return CharPos;
}

GetSel() isn’t defined in…[Read more]

ui/cust_rich_edit.cc and its header will need to be reviewed at some point. There are some symbols that I was unable to properly track down, such as GetSel(), so I’m not entirely sure if I’ve got the correct header files. There may be a few that we don’t need

There are a few references to other shorts in there. The dog is a reference to one of the Marvin the Martian ones, for instance. It’s a lot of fun!

Ugh. And the AI response isn’t very helpful, either 😛

I really should use an actual compost bin. Instead, I just toss all of my biodegradables into a pile in the garden. All sorts of things sprout up from it. Though, most don’t survive long due to it not being the right environment. I’ve even had apple seeds sprout up in my coffee grounds 😛

May need to do some replanting next month. It all depends…[Read more]

And 8k TVs can be added to the list: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/lg-joins-the-rest-of-the-world-accepts-that-people-dont-want-8k-tvs/

Not a big surprise, really. In order to even see the difference, one had to have a large viewing space and the TV had to be around 75-inches. Both of which were mighty impractical in a typical viewing…[Read more]

We just finished having an extreme cold spell over here. Wind chill of below 10F! I loved it!

Not a clue. I don’t have any earbuds (can’t stand them and use headphones instead) so I can’t really test it. 😛

Better watch him in the garden! Don’t want him raiding the carrot patch!
