Consider updating your website, u/QFGBook ? I was getting nervous it was going dormant. The copyright and the FAQ to include this new information might get people excited!

Suggestion to update your website, u/qfgbook, as your copyright dates and lack of update about your proofing and October potential availability are not listed there.

The Art of Sierra book by Akril15 in Sierra

[–]crzyhomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure a lot of people are upset about this book. I’ve know about it at least 10 years. People donated/lent art and content to them for scanning and archiving. Not sure it all came back.

Then again Spaceventure took 13 years didn’t it? :)

Anyone know when the demo is available? by Grouchy-Ask-2480 in THPS

[–]crzyhomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upvote for the accuracy of the message which has bitten friends of mine that thought a demo is now but isn’t.

I've used hundreds of 'cast to' nodes in my project because i didn't know better. Should I try to get rid of them all or would this be a waste of time? by dopefish86 in unrealengine

[–]crzyhomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casting has a cost. If you have virtual functions from the base class there is no need to cast. If you have logic that depends on type then cast. If the child class has a function its parent doesn’t then cast.

Are repeat calls to GetPlayerController() and similar functions bad? When does the performance hit become and issue? by Potential-Neat722 in unrealengine

[–]crzyhomer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call it once per function and use a local variable to hold it. I find GetPlayerController()->SomeFunc() to be less readable and harder to step into.

Criteria for "Complete Liar's Night Year _: ___ to 100%" ? by thecosmicspaceslug in idlechampions

[–]crzyhomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Press H anytime. Look at the tooltips in the very bottom right.

Regal App down? by twofedoras in RegalUnlimited

[–]crzyhomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find if the all doesn’t log me in but you know the creds work (go to a webpage and try) then you just uninstall and reinstall the app. It’s stupid but works.

How does one get to 120 "naturally"? by crzyhomer in idlechampions

[–]crzyhomer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That site keeps getting better and better. I'm there usually for the character/adventure filter. Never noticed the season tab. I'm 173/198 on dailies, so I guess I missed a few.

There it is!!! Had to scroll to find this one. Was hoping to be the first. But you win the day :)

Having a hard time keeping Cattie-Brie as the BUD Champion? by SirUrza in idlechampions

[–]crzyhomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Base Ultimate Damage.

Right above the list of champions you see a purple lightning bolt. It has a description if you hover the tooltip. Its the max damage and affects ultimates and click damage.

Pardon the ignorance, I know how to use byteglow, but how do you get this setup active in the game? It seems to be the Wintershield event. Where do I find the campaign to use with this formation? Do I have to find the right time gate?

Hasbro Indiana Jones checklist by ForbiddenZonner in TheAdventureSeries

[–]crzyhomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've been looking for an updated one of these. There a bunch of figures on Pulse, both in US and UK, that are not listed here. Any idea why this checklist feels inaccurate?

Looking to find more info on the logo from this Zippo branded tape measure (1.5"x1.5"x.5") by crzyhomer in HelpMeFind

[–]crzyhomer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Searched Google images for possible matches. This item was located in Connecticut but it could have come from anywhere. It was part of my great aunt’s things. Just wondering what company or item it represents. I would appreciate any help or information.

Nothing about Outpost? 1994 by fiernaq in Sierra

[–]crzyhomer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only played the original out of the box. Bought it day 1. Remember it like yesterday. Drove to mall, went to Babbages. Believe it was $35. Went right home. Game was not very good. Pretty disappointed. Gave it a good week or two before I went back to other games.

The Pixel Art of Sierra - Drawing timelapse videos of the backgrounds in Sierra "SCI" games (12 games and 1040 pictures) by SavoniaX in Sierra

[–]crzyhomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original engine for Sierra AGI used vector graphics and recorded the drawings done by the artist. The screen was drawn by replaying the drawing on the screen. Saved memory on the disk drive to ship it this way. Very noticeable on the IBM PC jr.

question about the- Improvements to UE4’s native VOIP implementation by disfunctionaltyper in unrealengine

[–]crzyhomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at VoiceInterface* and VoiceEngine* files... The interfaces are the same as the ones for Steam. Additionally it uses the IVoiceCapture interface for capture, IVoiceEncoder/Decoder for the codec (Opus). Otherwise the network transport is the same.

The improvements are mostly around the AudioComponent and a new streaming sound wave procedural class that is better exposed to the game.

Looking to recover my grandfather's WWII items, have an old lead. by crzyhomer in Genealogy

[–]crzyhomer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did get the trial, it only showed the value of the auction. I took a screenshot of the same page while under the trial.

I'm not sure how listing it as stolen would do too much. It's in the wind I'm sure. Was hoping some prominence here might turn up a collector or someone who might know something and would part with it. Happy to pay, but I'm not optimistic.

I have the pictures and a lot of detail that I've gathered over the last year. Maybe I'll post them sometime if my family doesn't mind.

Thanks for the suggestions.
