The shoutbox is 20% shorter, it is now only displaying four lines when it was originally showing five.

Gryzor

Yes, because I-won't-mention-who decided to go overboard with his URLs, and as a result a scrollbar was introduced. It'll go away soon.

Ah, some italian guy.

Was thinking about maybe replacing the shoutbox with an IRC thingie. I have installed a test applet, currently connecting to the server/channel given by Mr_Lou in one of his posts. The problem is, it can't be incorporated in the homepage like the shoutbox, but must be on its own page. Feel free to play with it and tell me what you think...

Would be nice to have a proper IRC channel, that I can connect to and idle on, like I do on the other IRC channels I frequent ;)

Needless to say, it'd connect to an already existing server/channel. No need to create another one...

mr_lou

I haven't tried it myself, but how about Javascript IRC client?

Take a look at IndieGameMusic.com - that's where I put my tracks.

@mr_lou: the one used right now is very similar... why change?
@TotO: wrong thread?

Change if you want a chat instead of a shoutbox.

@mr_lou: already testing an IRC client, what's different with the one you suggested is what I mean...
@tastefulmrsnhip: what on earth are you talking about? :D

Oh, well I believe that Javascript one can be embedded on the site, without needing to open a new window, if that's what you wanted.

Ok?!?! I'm not sure exactly what you're getting at here.
MODE 1 only has 4 colours; it's impossible to have more without resorting to CRCT tricks, and even then it's not 100% accurate across the entire screen (especially when using an emulator). Stippling is the only way to "emulate" more than 4 colours on MODE 1, which is what I was trying to do with that image. YELLOW+RED=ORANGE, etc. Hence 7 colours in MODE 1 (4 normal, 3 emulated)

Am I missing something obvious? I'm really sorry if I am. I didn't think I had to explain my post, especially to an accomplished artist!

*confused*

Have I wronged you in some way, TotO? I apologise if I have.

*REALLY confused*

@tastefulmrship: Your post with the picture said "7 colors". It's wrong, there are only 4 colors on it. That all. ;)

@mr_lou: ah yes, indeed, but I don't think the one you suggested can solve this problem. Still, I'm looking for a better solution...
@TotO/tastefulmrship: am I missing something? Do these posts belong here???

I delete my posts (except the "last"; Waiting his answer)
It's about a picture showed here, because can't be displayed on the Shoutbox.

Ah yes, I had forgotten about the previous posts. But there are PMs, and then you can always create a new thread to continue Shoutbox discussions :D

If there was an official #cpcwiki somewhere, I'd idle on it. :)
Just so long as there is mention of the server the channel is located, so that I can point my IRC client to it.  I don't use my browser constantly like some people seem to... ;)

There is not. But there are 3 other CPC channels on IRC.
#CPC on irc.europnet.org
#AmstradCPC on proxy.epiknet.org
#CPC on irc.freenode.net

I'm idle on all 3 whenever I'm on IRC (which means most of the time), and have had some good chats with various CPC geeks.
More people would be nice! So do join.

Official, as in sanctioned by Amsoft? :D

Which one is the most active then?

Official, as in a channel that would be promoted on the wiki and/or forum as somewhere to chat with other wiki users.
- Barry Rodewald

Gryzor

Yes, I understood that :) but still I think we should piggyback on an existing channel if there's interest...

mr_lou

Why can't I post in the shoutbox?
