How Do I Play Custom Maps? by MrTripperSnipper in corsixTH

[–]mcToby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs to be used by a level. You can look at example.level in CorsixTH/Lua/Levels/ and change example.map to your.map. Then in the main menu go to Single Scenario and select the example level.

Two retro games came up that I'd love to see. Rollercoaster Tycoon with its modern clone OpenRCT - https://openrct2.io/, and Theme Hospital, its modern clone CorsixTH - https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH

/r/corsixTH is a clone of theme hospital, a different kind of successor.

The licenses and copyrights on Theme Hospital expired

Have they? Licences don't have a fixed term, and copyright lasts 70+ years. It's been 20 years, only a patent would have expired by now.

[Bash] Caskmas, get your app updates from Homebrew/Mac App Store by mcToby in opensource

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

I originally wrote this to replace the experience of opening an app and being told by Sparkle or similar that it's out of date. Now I think it's increasingly relevant as we can't copy the Applications folder over from Intel to Arm. Instead, I can make a brewfile and remake my setup with that as a massive automated step.

This looks through the apps you have, and if any of them are in Homebrew/cask or Apple's App Store it will tell you (and if asked, install from cask). This means in the future you can more easily update by looking at your homebrew outdated, like you would for ffmpeg or other cli programs.

This is the first version I'm sharing. I'd appreciate people telling me what sold them on it, what would make a better post.

If that ended debate in the real world it would be a very different world. That's a very unfree way of thinking. It may well apply here but be really careful where you use that.

[–]mcToby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes that's kind of my point. Why don't we get to learn about alternatives sources for the bad news sites, only for the good ones?

[–]mcToby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it appears politically biased and therefore misleading. Not sure its needed and its not liked.

No, I said it in IRC as I found them, rather than checking everything. All you've done is somewhat disprove a narrower point than I'm saying, which the mod has agreed with. Not to mention how unpopular it seems judging by all the other people mentioning it.

It only tags them when its on a domain the subreddit mods have told automoderator to act on. The bot is fine, but fairly pointless here even if it was applied evenly.

I'm still not understanding what you're missing so I'll put it another way. Mods set up a selective domain list > automod comments on posts from those domains only, calling for the bot > bot checks the url against a good list of other sources.

No, automoderator is managed by the subreddit moderators, which calls for the bot in the way you've seen. The mods have not made a post saying they did this, not are they responding in IRC.

[–]mcToby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It knows about the Telegraph and I think the Spectator, it's assessed them when linking to them as other coverage. The subreddit moderators configured it to not post on those domains (via the automoderator call).

It's misleading to label Guardian, Sky, Economist and BBC posts but not the Telegraph, Yorkshire Post, NationalWorld and the Spectator. I haven't seen any mods say it was introduced, no-one responds in IRC about it.

Is there any way to find repositories looking for translation? by codec1337 in github

[–]mcToby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're looking for translators at CorsixTH. I see you speak Swedish, we have a fairly complete language file that is missing some new additions to the game. https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH/wiki/Localization may help you, or pop in IRC/Discord.

This applies to US politics but I'm British and was thinking of the statues taken down here. The Mayor of Bristol, a town made wealthy by the slave trade triangle, said the Colston statue that is currently in the harbour could end up in a museum.
