It's just a bunch of buttons rather than some fancy tab system...
Personally I think mIRC standard looks horrible, using NoNameScript helps but still is a far cry from Chatzilla.

Which PB had a built-in control to flip Tabs upside down or to the ...

OpenGL is extremely to impliment in any language, mainly because it is always active on any system using an OpenGL Display driver.

Although you could run the functions directly using _ trailing them, you can simply declare them in your program and use them directly.
I would advice creating a ...

Marc wants to get the 3D Engine fully finished before releasing BlitzMax to the public.

Reason behind this is quite simply Mac users are happy to sit there and test the program, but Windows users (which was echoed in the announcement thread of the Mac release) quite frankly want everything that ...

Simple irc client troubles

I can't understand why, although I can connect and recieve the welcome message, any other attempts to recieve data are met with a harsh <ping timeout>

I have it working using a 3rd part TCP/UDP DLL however, I'd rather use the internal functions if possible.
If anyone has any idea to what is going ...

From what I understand PB 4.0 will be released MacOSX, AmigaOS, Windows & Linux

BlitzMax is just about ready for the market but without any 3D engine to speak of for the time being, it is being released on MacOSX first then sometimes next year for Windows once all the 3D Engine and such are in ...

Yeah but that would make the application as multiplatforming as a Kowala. :(

I gave up on PB's internal system a good 8hrs ago though, started working on a Windowing API Plugin instead. Going to take a while longer but should save me in the long run.

Just can't believe what should be a simple task ...

Parenting Windows

Before anyone says... 'Use the WinAPI'
I am trying to keep far away from platform dependant functions as possible. What I want to do is basically something similar to MDI, and for this i need the Child Window to draw inside the Parent Window.

Now the long route i know to do this is to fake it, and ...

Hehee... *nix, MacOSX and AmigaOS would have some complaints about it too.

Whilst I agree the functions works almost identically on those systems (cept the MacOSX, as it's not released) they're completely different code and still they rely entirely on APIs already present.

GTK, SDL, etc...

Whilst ...

Yes, it'll run fine on any Geforce card.
It won't damage your hardware unless you manually change the values, even then there is a safety measure in the drivers to prevent anything that a reboot won't fix.

Go with what Auto sets it to :) as it'll set it to the best you card can do without ...

Couldn't find the tool so here the .reg to edit. As this is part of your drivers.

Why is that one right? but the other Wrong?
Both of your examples are against the PB license. Any worries people have about wrapping commands and licensing issues should always be directed at Fred for ultimate clarification. You cannot wrap PB commands in procedures to extend other languages ...

your FX 5200 should be running core of 250 MHz, getting it upto 360 MHz is about as high as they'll go without modding them. (which isn't easy)
i'll see if I can make available the nPrefHUD 2.0 as it'll allow you to overclock your card safely.

Heard about this on nvDeveloper earlier today.
About time it was officially released, without it the Geforce 6800 really isn' anything special. Just another powerhouse card.

Now everyone gets to mess with the SM 3.0. Which should be awesome.
