3rd party controllers for GH2 Posted April 22nd, 2008 in Video Games

I am considering buying the GH2 (software only) game from Dick Smith (Australian) for 40 AUD, but I need a guitar which I can get on ebay for around 50 AUD - my question is will the 3rd party guitars work with GH2 on the Playstation 2? Because I've heard rumours that they do not - but then how can they sell them?

I need enlightenment on the subject

Fucking GH3 Posted April 21st, 2008 in General

Just bought Guitar Hero III today, bring it home, set it up - I've played it before, I'm not too bad, can easily beat any on easy - play the first couple of levels on easy, on a nice, relatively new and fast laptop - can't beat a single fucking one. I also bought a mini-dvi to RCA video converter so I can use my laptop as a console, play with a big screen and wicked sound on my TV.

NB: My laptop fits ALL the requirements specified to run GH3

Set everything up with some difficulty, and start: there's massive lag between the TV and the laptop, like 2 seconds, tried calibrating in options, did fuck all. So I unplug the laptop from the TV, hoping to try it on the tiny little shit screen and tinny sound on my laptop, which is about a third as fun, and then on the laptop, it fucks up even worse! The framerate is fucking up, everything is running slowly, I can get about 30% on the first song after about 10 attempts, and that's it. Packed that fucker back up and am taking it back in to demand a refund tomorrow.

Fucking bullshit.

TL;DR: Guitar Hero lies blatantly about specs, they fucking suck.

Ah, much better.

Response to: Flash Ads - Try them! Posted April 9th, 2008 in Game Development

Can we apply these ads to already submitted flash works? i.e. recently submitted animation which we might want to earn money from without resubmitting...

Sorry for the noobish question, I couldn't seem to find this out after looking through the info page thingy.

Pico Day preloaders... Posted April 9th, 2008 in Game Development

Are the official one(s) completed yet? I wanna submit my flash early to avoid the competition on the day, but still aim to be in the collection and such.

If anyone knows about the loaders, or has made/ is in possession of one, then any information would be awesome.

Thanks guys

I can't figure out how to play the main scene from a button inside a movie clip. Inside a movieclip, I have a preloader and loading screen with a play/stream button, and I want it all to be there while the movie is loading. For the loadscreen, all inside one movie clip (in a stopped frame) - I have a button, some text, another movie clip with text and brush work(multiple frames), and a loading majiggy which someone else made (x kb of y kb loaded, somesort of text box thingy) .

First off, could you give me code/suggestions for playing the main scene from a button inside a movie clip?

Or should I compile the load screen in an entirely different way?

What are the normal conventions for loading screens and loaders? Should I make my own preloader or mod a NG one?

Thanks a million

Owen

Very, very true. I've stopped arguing with Christian friends, because I realised the very same thing as you.

I was just thinking of starting this the other day! awesome! I'm in for sure, I can't start collabs cos low B.A. raise bar from 10 spots to like 18, 20 ish. I'm in! I have a separate animation feat. agnry which will be out before pico day, but I will think of something for this.

Hooray for agnry!
