There are two sets of CreaturePage files in ui/: those with the Esm prefix and those without. The ones without don’t appear to have their classes used in the project but the files are included in the ones with the prefix. Both make heavy use of the MFC code generation stuff so it’s a little hard to tell if the ones without the prefix are actually…[Read more]

There’s also the proposed Transatlantic Tunnel that, sadly, will likely never the light of day. Not so much the cost (can be ignored as the various governments can make it happen if they really want to) but the materials and potential safety concerns of such a thing. Without proper compartmentalization, you’ll have a Titanic-like situation.…[Read more]

Okay, started on the ui/ directory this morning and reached the dialogue boxes that go with the game files so I need to remove the prefix from them as well

Yep, I’m slow these days but at least I’m getting back into it after almost a decade 🙂

Wow, there’s a nice little video on this BBC page that describes the journey, which is unfortunately not a cosy train ride. It’s amazing how they managed to transport all the materials for construction and what have you. To lift the spirits of the visitors they are sure to provide screenings of The Descent along with graphic descriptions of other…[Read more]

What did you expect from a doughnut factory? Fried chicken? 😛

Okay, looks like the bitmap code isn’t used in the workflow so I’ll tag it for removal with PCX support. For bitmap icons, the code uses CBitmap in the Windows API instead, which will be replaced with whatever the new GUI toolkit uses.

A Fallout and Elder Scrolls theme park would be cool but I think the former would be more popular. People in general are drawn to post-apocalyptic settings. Outside Vegas, in the desert, would probably fit the theme more as they wouldn’t need to make too many changes to make it look like a wasteland even if they don’t use the New Vegas…[Read more]

Okay, the files in common/, file/, and windows/ have all been renamed according to the new naming convention. Next is to wrangle the new ui/ folder, renaming the files and determining which ones belong in the mwedit/ directory before fixing up all of the paths (that will be even more painful 😛 ). All of those renames have been pushed up 🙂

That one works!

Good ones!

And Bing Crosby:

🙂 Grandma got run over by a reindeer … so she could fit in the chimney.

The last one doesn’t show up here but I think I found an alternate vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7eyPZat6Jk

Sorry about the region checks, that wasn’t it – that one isn’t so good IMOP. Replaced the vid above w…[Read more]

In honor of the holidays:

That page hasn’t been updated in ages! It mentions supplying a VCR 😛

It’s a really good looking place to stay. Could also be fun to have a Halloween event there or the like.

Used to have a collection of some model cars when I was a kid. Nothing special but they were fun to look at on the shelf. No idea what happened to them.

Said it before but…[Read more]

Cool! Seems lie the Royal Suite could be a place of sojourn for any unroyal individual provided they are happy to part company with at least a grand per night of stay. Not for sale anymore. Terrific piccies here, and traps, tunnels and secret passages here.
The Antiques Roadshow’s “Basic, Better & Best” is a fun segment. Here’s a fine set of model…[Read more]

Another quantity surveying excursion yielded the original Bookshop sketch:

Oh dear, and a bunch…[Read more]

Not the wheat! Yeah, invasive species are a bit of a problem here as well. We have a ton of invasive plants that clog our waterways. Not sure about insects, though

As mentioned, browsing Atlas again and came across this cool location: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/singer-castle

It even looks like it’d be something from Scooby Doo 😛

Fixed up a few more file names in game/morrowind/ and moved a cursor file from the same to data/. Not sure why it wasn’t in the old project/res/ directory and was living in project/ but that’s been fixed. I’ll probably start on the other directories next week. Taking a break to browse through Atlas Obscura 🙂

And we have Samurai John Belushi dancing it up:

Couldn’t find a good clip of the deli one, sadly. That’s one of his best.

We also have the best way to hunt mosquitoes:

For further future research included another joke from Les:

Want to know how to use passwords? The Marx brothers have the answer:

For extra spam added this bunch of Brit randoms from…[Read more]

Nice find, anything “Poor-man’s” is just the lick! 🙂
Only worry is that on the (unlikely) event Fuzzy Canary is hijacked, one actually ends up with undesirable links on their blogs – in which unfortunate case you’re regular Dagwood Bumstead type career blogger would indeed have to face the music next morning from a rather shocked and peeved Mr…[Read more]

That’s one way of doing it but it’s also a good way to get blacklisted by search engines. They don’t generally like 18+ sites, even if the content is relatively benign
