denvish.net/ul is full?

HO NOSE

that was the only good uploader out there...

putfile was great until they added login stuff and made it more like youtube... with public access to what you upload

imageshack always sucked. It was slow and put all flash uploads at the same weird screen size that wasn't even the default 550x400 size

other sites required registering and such.

I wonder how much space denvish gets. I have 200 GB of disk space on my site and I've used up less than one GB of it. That's good for 40000ish uploads if every one is 5 MB. And if I auto-delete them after a certain amount of time or after 10000 uploads then it would last a while.

Anyone think i should make one? I don't think I have quite enough knowledge in php yet but i could try. Except I'm going away for a week.

You should do it, fileuploads aren't hard, I can help you out. But then again, you'll put ads all over the place ;)

Flash Based Site

Thats pretty cool. I was just wondering, why do people here consider flash sites lazyier than making html?

Good things the ads on Denvish are only small text-based ads that appear in only a small box below the uploading panel (thus are not annoying). Compared to Imageshack...

'Cause for some html is harder. It all depends on your perspective and skill in them though. A pro at flash and an amature with html wouldn't enjoy making a site in html I think as it would be harder same with the opposite scenareo.

I suppose. People here tend to frown on Flash sites than HTML.

LOL, Luis' flash is going to bested by a sprite movie for weekly feature. :-P

flash sites are bad because

1. search engines can't crawl a flash based site as easily, meaning lower search rankings.

2. if you put ads on the site, it needs text to categorize what type of ads to put and what your site is about. It can't do that on a flash based site.

3. Flash sites are harder to update as you have to reupload the whole site if you make changes as opposed to one page or a css file. For content related things you can always load from a database or a text file but you have to plan ahead a lot.

4. In general, they're ugly. You need to get it to work full browser size if you want it to work right, otherwise you end up with a lot of wasted space.

Denvsih is full?
Aww well, I used to use imagebay.com a lot before using denvish, mainly because in there you can change the image size to whatever you want, then i started using denvish becaus eof its quickness and loading bar, I always hated imageshack..I like putfile when i want the upload to be accesible, have an easy name, because uploading every unfinished flash there doesnt seem worth it..

I got the set from a newgrounds monthly prize once. I put it in the computer but the way the disc was labeled it made a buzzing sound in the disc drive so i took it out after half the files were loaded. Don't know where the disc is. I don't remember watching any of the tutorials either.

Anyway i don't think they're giving away the tutorials anymore.

I suck at art though, and I'm fine with sticking to programming so i don't think i'll ever bother watching them in the near future.

Oh, and also, thats another "Flash Made" site that I actually like the design of!

Heh, i know actionscript pretty much inside out. And if i need something additional, the internet is out there, and flash has very extensive coverage of the functions.

I can see the tutorials being useful for learning the basics of actionscript, but once you know all the commands of it, then it's a matter of practice to get better. Animation has less tools to play with but there's a lot more learnable techniques to using them than with actionscript.

flash sites
I dont like sites made in flahs.. they're supposed to be shiny and good looking, but they ussually look like there is too much stuff in a small space.. they take time to load.. and everypage has the same URL, so you cannot copy and paste and get directly to a page, you need to wait for everything to load again...

Back from CSSSA!

Concert

I just got back from an awesome Incubus concert. It was one of the better concerts I've been to. The lighting was perfect and made it really atmospheric. Gave me the chills sometimes, you know? Here's a video I took of them playing Quicksand, the first song on their new CD. I got a video of them playing Stellar too. I'll upload that one tomorrow. Tailgating was fricken awesome too. My friend brought his hookah and we sat in the back of his pickup truck and watched a bunch of kids getting arrested for underage drinking. :D
Just about everyone there was a total stoner and it seemed like everyone knew each other and got along...
Amazing day...

Another disadvantage of a shift towards a global economy is the argued loss of domestic jobs. Certain labor-intensive industries (like textile and even parts of the software development industry) tend to shift their production from developed countries to developing countries where wages are lower. This shift, it is argued, not only increases the unemployment rate in the developed countries, but in some cases leads to exploitation of third world workers, in particular, children. In contrast, many economists believe that the loss of domestic jobs is a temporary state, which will be offset by other industries if the barriers of trade are kept low. Lending support for this belief is the fact that the United States has seen its sharp decline in the number of domestic jobs in the textile industry mirrored by a similar decline in its unemployment rate.

awmgd

You've worked really hard on coding a game for weeks, and then it all craps out at the last hour and nothing in it seems to work. I coded a mission selection screen which was working perfectly until yesterday, and now it's completely screwed up the main story mode. The worst part is, I hadn't even touched the code when it stopped working, and there's no logical reason for it. And i've been trying for hours to fix it, but no can do. Has this happened to anyone else? It makes me want to bash my face into the keyboard until I have YTREWQ imprinted into my skull.

Well, the good thing about something like that is that you've probably made an error with one or two variables which you should be able to fix fairly easily once you work out what it is :P Stay away a bit, get a good night's sleep, then when you wake up run a few traces and possibly the debugger to find out what's going on.

RE: Flash sites

Actually, has anyone been on the Homestar Runner site? That's probably about the only example I can think of of a Flash site which works. It's cool and impressive while at the same time being failry easy to navigate and straightforward, since everything's on its own seperate page and you don't have to wait for hours for the whole thing to load. There's also a small bit of HTML navigation at the bottom. Good stuff.

Flash Hates Part III

The V-Cam.

I know this discussion has been done to death already, but bleh.

OK, first of all there's the mythology surrounding it. The V-Cam is not some magical cloud of mystery which isn't going to lag or bug out or anything. It's a chunk of code just like any other, executing its own instructions. It may well dent your frame rate slightly more, since traditional movement doesn't involve the level of variables or calculations you see with it.

Secondly, it's a tool for animators! Why people insist on recommending it for games I don't know. The actual code in it isn't all that hard to understand, not to mention the fact that if you don't have the scripting knowledge to understand it you're going to have a load of issues as far as your stationary UI moving about is concerned. If you do have that kind of scripting knowledge, why the hell can't you code your own scrolling? You're making a game, for Christ's sake! Don't you think it's a good idea to have the understanding of how your scrolling's working which can only come from making something yourself? It's got to the stage where the first response in help threads is like 'ok stick this coed in the vcam...' even if no mention of the V-Cam was made in the orginal post. Comeon people! Work out stuff for yourselves!

So yeah, is there still so much bullshit surrounding the V-Cam, or am I a year out of date here?

pros don't use vcam for games. I do everything manually for a better result and more control over my own flash.

Because payment of tax is compulsory and enforced by the police and justice system, some minority political philosophies view taxation by force as institutionalized violence equivalent to theft, accusing the government of levying taxes via coercive means. Libertarians, individualist anarchists, and anarcho-capitalists, see taxation as government aggression (see Zero Aggression Principle). The libertarian writer Jason C. Reeher echoed the sentiments of Murray Rothbard on these grounds; in criticizing his local school district's relatively small property tax increase, Reeher said that "(t)he thief who steals the least is still a thief."[verification needed] Under this view, taxes are paid individually and therefore, to be considered voluntary, in any meaningful way, should be levied only with the consent of the individual. Some libertarians recommend a minimal level of taxation in order to maximize the protection of liberty, while others prefer market alternatives such as private defense agencies, arbitration agencies or voluntary contributions. Others point out that the examples where taxation and the state function of civil protection has collapsed and replaced by private defense agencies (such as in countries like Somalia), the results have been largely negative

Toast, stop copy/pasting shit of political websites. You're known as the spammer noob and you'll remain that way.

Toast's trying to educate his fellow nerds in obvious economic questions, shush.

Economy is fun. Look what led to communism!

Especially in England the ideas of Adam Smith became reality while the economization-the process of always diminishing the efforts of production-lead to mass poverty, starvation, urbanization and pauperization of the population. Karl Marx (1818-1883) and the German industrialist and philosopher Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) described economy as the "system of capitalism". The exploitation of labour and nature by the capitalist is creating a surplus value. The capital will accumulate itself and finally destroy the competition. Therefore the system of communism should liberate the economy from the reign of capital. The first centrally planned economy was established after the Russian Revolution of 1917 by Lenin. Other states launched social security systems in order to minimize the effects of uncontrolled capitalism, called Manchester capitalism.

I just watched it and psycosis is a friend of mine and i always was fond of his pico sprite movie he made last year.. he spent like a year on this movie and it was pretty good... cant hate on anyone that broke their back for such a long time.

I dont particularly care for the mario franchise, ive long outgrown it but i thought it was kind of cool to concentrate on characters most people have forgotten about like the thwomps.

Well, i think i'd (and most people would) essentially shake the stage, which is basically what a vcam would do :P. Although i agree with you to GG, if you are looking to make a good game, the vcam isn't the way to do it.

People are so lacking original thought they refuse to figure out the two or three lines of code it normally takes to make a camera and go around forums wondering why Vcam doesn't work for them.

Bleh, I use a premade v-cam because I don't know anything about actionscript.

IMVU
My god, you can't visit a page without coming across 20 IMVU ads... Those guys must have invested millions of dollars on ads. What is it anyway, some sort of Second Life?

Well since its based on money per click, it could be that nobody's clicking them, therefore not losing millions on it.

Facebook = Retarded?

I'm quite curious what you guys think about the site Face Book. About 6 months ago I created an account since my brother's ex-girlfriend who's in college thought it'd be cool if I had one. I signed on there like 3 times and I was already bored with it. It's just so boring and everything is compacted into like one page. I think the site is honestly too cluttered, even though it's kind of like the College-Life's Myspace, it's just a bit different. I don't quite like the site to be perfectly honest. Myspace is overrated even though I have one, I just don't seem to like Face Book.

I randomly get emails from Friends Requests, even though I never give out my URL to anyone since I don't quite even use the site. It's annoying an odd.

Discuss.
