Deadron i downloaded ur newest char. handler and put it with my game and when i go to test it out I click run and then were it should make me a char. the screens black.

Try downloading the demo program and let me know if that runs:

byond://Deadron.CharacterSaving

If it does run, take a look at the code it uses and it will show you what to do.

nope still nothin

That's too specific. Could you be a little more general?

well i decided to use one of you older versions of char. saving and it won't save the game at all after i make a charater here is the whole code and if you look at the half saiyan it shows one of the ways i try to change icon but it didn't work :( :

If you want to email me your project at [email protected], I can try to see what's wrong. But I would suggest first upgrading to the latest CharacterHandling library, and copying and pasting the example code from that library first.

ok i sent it

He'll send it when he's good and ready. I don't speak for him, of course, but I think I reflect his thoughts. =)

So do I. You keep tinfoil under your hat, too?

I alternate between that and wax paper.

tinfoil dosent work! duh, i use a system of wires in spyral pattern. if you would take a close look you would se (from the outside in) they run positive neg, pos neg neg pos neg pos neg neg and so on.. this works much better than tin foil.. i have found that if any waves were to escape they would be severly distorted(its not as much reflecting others brian wave as it is makeing sure no others can read yours!)

Hmm, but don't you get a shock from it?

Well given some of Trunx's recent posts, my timing went from "I better get to that today" to "Hmm I'll get to that someday when I have some time to waste".

Any changes I did would be gay by default (nothing I can do about it!) and I know how much that bugs Trunx.

Ah, didn't think about that, but of course I can sympathise.


Just to make the message a little more clear to people who don't realise,

DON'T say anything that is potentially offensive to anyone, ever. "That is gay!" is an insult to gay people. That'd be like saying, "Man, why the heck did you do that? That's so fricking Trunx of you." Words used in an insult are insulting to the owner of those monikers.

Believe me, I know this from experience. See a particular debate between me and Lexy in the Babble forum for a very good example.
