ENIGMA Development Environment

But did anyone actually wrote plugins for it? I know like two plugins for LGM. One is ENIGMA and one is that allows compiling to GM (by adding the runner to data).

I frequently wrote my own since I'm a Java programmer, but they were never really suitable for public use.

the second for material surfaces like Unity3D.

You mean substances?

they all look terrible

Just a quick question regarding having a server that extracts user information from / writes information to a database.
Should I practice:
1) Opening a connection when the server starts, close the connection when the server closes
2) Open a connection only when the database needs to be used (possibly frequently) and close it immediately

I'm not really aware of the raw behind a connection with a SQL database, so I'm not sure of the security consequences etc etc
I would assume 1) is a lot faster also.

Note: If you are offering a suggestion, could you offer it for two different situations: where the database is local to the server and where the database is hosted online?

Thanks yy0y0y0 xoxoxo

I vote for forced segregation because in my mind, it appears to be simpler.

I'm still around, just busy organising university stuff
You only hear from me most when there's a problem with ENIGMA or a new major release needs to be tested

Okay. So I have a function here that I made by myself, but I have a feeling it is unhealthily inefficient.
Basically, It is a function that takes the string you give it and the maximum length of characters allowed on a line, and breaks the message up into segments that will fit into two lines. If it goes over two lines of text, it creates another portion of it that will carry over to the next "message".
Example:
Max allowed characters: 10
String = "Here is a typical message."
This will output:
string1: "Here is a#typical"
string2: "message."

Typical was placed on the second line because although 10 characters had not been reached on the first line, it was a whole word in itself (makes sense obviously)

ANYWAY, here is the script I'm using (feel free to optimise it and/or write your own in replacement :p)
///scr_text_filter_word(string text, real character_line_limit)
text = argument0;
var maxlength, textlength, usestring, usetext, i, currentpos, endword, newline, attemptbreak;
maxlength = argument1;
usetext = text;
usestring = "";
done = 0;
ii = 0;
currentpos = 1;
endword = 0;
newline = 1;
attemptbreak=0;

while (done == 0) {
    attemptbreak=0;
    if(string_length(usetext) > maxlength) {
        for (i = 1; i <= string_length(usetext); i += 1) {
            if(attemptbreak == 1) break;
            currentpos = i;
            if(string_char_at(usetext,i) == " ") {
                for (iii = 1; iii < string_length(usetext)-currentpos; i+=1) {
                    if(string_char_at(usetext,i+iii) == " ") {
                        endword = iii;
                        break;
                    }
                }
                if(currentpos + endword > maxlength) {
                    var newtext;
                    newtext = string_copy(usetext,1,currentpos);
                    if(newline == 1) {
                        global.g_showmessage[ii+1] = newtext;
                        ii+=1;
                        newline=0;
                    }
                    else {
                        newtext = string_insert("#",newtext,1);
                        global.g_showmessage[ii] = global.g_showmessage[ii]+newtext;
                        newline=1;
                    }
                    usetext = string_copy(usetext,currentpos+1,string_length(usetext)-currentpos);
                    attemptbreak = 1;
                }
            }
                               
        }
    }
    else {
        if(newline == 1) {
            global.g_showmessage[ii+1] = usetext;
            ii+=1;
        }
        else {
            usetext = string_insert("#",usetext,1);
            global.g_showmessage[ii] = global.g_showmessage[ii]+usetext;
        }
                       
        done = 1;
        global.g_msgtot = ii;
    }
}

MrGriggs, I know how to copy text from cmd, it's just that it wasnt bringing up anything upon right-click. I got that sorted out though (just closed LGM which ended the cmd session). It's all already been discussed with Josh anywh0000000

Extracted. Ran enigma.exe, it found the original MinGW folder that the old installation installed fine, and I selected yes to use that.
It then was like DUN HAVE THE LIBARIES BRAH, so I selected "Stable" and let it do it's thing, which it then updated to r641 and exited.
When I started it up again, it did a whole lot of shit concerning g++, but once that finished it all worked fine.
