Yes it opens the PSD if you install this free plugin, however maybe the result is not 100% if you have all kind of effects active in photoshop: http://frankblumenberg.de/doku/doku.php?id=paintnet:psdplugin For a direct HTML/CSS creation, no I didn't found any plugin. Honestly however, I never used what photoshop provided directly, even if I used the images cut mades. For a list of all plugins: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=30570

Danny: http://portfolio.technoized.com/notes/21 Honestly from my own tests I didn't saw much difference between the two neither from a quality point of view neither from a speed point of view. So choose one or the other and it will work.

Immortalthug: Here having an echo with a sprintf is completly useless. First of all you could use printf directly, second, you don't use even the %1 place holders... so a direct echo is faster and not less secure ;)

You may try to use paint.net which is free, of course not as good as photoshop but more user friendly than GIMP in my opinion.

Replace line 110 with echo "Rating: <a href=rating.php?change=up&ID={$r['userid']}><img src=positive.gif></a> {$r['rating']} <a href=rating.php?change=down&ID={$r['userid']}><img src=negative.gif></a>";   Honestly you didn't tried enough to fix it, or you still have huge troubles with PHP itself. I would suggest then to try some initial tutorials instead of digging into a code like that.

I believe that only while trying (and trying and trying) you will may become a good coder. So start with something simple to do (within or not an engine) and then put yourself a futher goal and continue. All the info you may ever need is found on internet, specially for web developement.

Thanks ;)

I agree with danny here, instead of posting a thread as soon as there is a little problem, you should first try HARD to find it yourself. Those kind of errors are really basic and PHP is giving away enough information to let you find what's wrong. In the worse case, you can always try to comment out piece by piece the code until it works again, and therefore spot which part is guilty.

We just released version 4.5 of the miniNEaB engine. What changed: - Smart draw within the map editor - Context menu (can be configured) - New map editor - Click to walk - Auto equip pick / axes - Registration within the game - Extend the number of tiles (up to 10000) - New animated battles - Embedded chat (if you have the chat module) - New sound system I fixed also a couple of bugs which hasn't been reported so far, so maybe it didn't hurt anybody. Included you will find the fresh new docs, as well as some sounds. Up to you to use them wisely. New version of tiles will come later as I still need to work on them. Reports bug as fast as possible, as I may have missed something. This upgrade is free to all engine owners. As you see being an owner is more than payed back by all those free upgrades As always you may check our demo here: http://engine.nowhere-else.org/demo or check more info here: http://engine.nowhere-else.org For new customers the price is 200$, this is for the current code and normally for future upgrades as well as we never charged for a new version to our customers. Payment is automatized which means, you pay via paypal and you directly download the software. If you want to try you may also try our limited free engine or purchase the cheaper microNEaB, however none of the new features are available in those 2 packages, still you may see what our engine brings.

Line 434 and 503 both declare a function clear_report. As the error say, you cannot declare twice the same function.

if you check your line 110, you will see that you don't have any echo nor doublequotes... So check your code ;)

Because you cannot call it directly inside firefox as it needs to be run through apache. That requires a web server on your PC (wamp or xampp)

and what do you offer? For which project?

It's... like 2 or 3 years that they should work on the version 2.0... So no, it will not be any time soon in my opinion ;)

The difference between HTML and PHP (or any other computer language) is that HTML is a STATIC description markup language (which mean, you don't have logic embeded within, as long of course as you don't embed some Javascript). PHP or any other languages are not meant to be static, they describe a logic and the reaction to some conditions (more or less). You will need to understand the concept of variables (and maybe objects/class), and understand how to manipulate them with for example some functions. If this is your first programming language then count more than 6 month until you get some real results. However it's really rewarding. Now, simply start with some "hello world" then try to code some logic within with maybe some user input etc. Don't start with a game as you will not understand it due to the amount of code even a simlpe game needs. There is tons of tutorials about PHP and how to start with it, but again this forum is not exactly meant for that, I mean, most if not all users here do have already a good overview of what PHP is and how to use it. You, on the other side, you should really start from the begining, otherwise you will have really an hard time to pick up. An example of a tutorial could be found here: http://php.about.com/od/learnphp/p/learn_php_free.htm

I personally use useBB for my own game, however a few words of warning: I doesn't have all the features you may find on bigger forums, no attachement, no polls, no access control per forum etc... For my own needs it's ok, but for some other people it may not be enough

SMF 2.X encryption is done as you said. We had to check it with MDShare so I'm nearly sure it's like that.

I could for sure use some man power for a few projects of mine. However do you have some experience yourself? Something you did already?

Actually, if you already how to program in the same kind of language (like you know OO and you need to learn another OO) you will need about 6 month to really be up and running with a new language. Sure you can do things in a shorter time, but you will not know all the language specifics tricks. For art, I would say it's slower, it took me about 1 year until I started to somehow understand the concepts of 3D modeling / rendering, and with photoshop, there is still a lot which I don't master... and it has been YEARS I'm working with it.

Actually Apple is one of the worse in those kind of actions.

adding an @ in front of the function which produce the warning will removes it: $file=@fopen("blabla","r"); I would use that instead of disabling the error reporting.

1) Welcome back Scarlet! Happy you appeared back! 2) I merged your two threads Kirbygamemaker, and this is the second time is I'm right. So please avoid to spam the forums with multiple times the same issues. 3) Honestly I have an hard time to decide if it's a 2D or 3D art. I would tend to say it's a 3D based image, which may have been retouched in 2D after. Why? Because the shadows, and positions of the objects seems a bit too perfect for a simple 2D art. However it doesn't change much, if you do it in 3D or 2D in both case it will takes you a lot of time and efforts.

Well simply they don't even want to start any problem, and therefore they changed the name. However I doubts they can go far with that as Adobe should then go to a court and explain how the flashden would disturb their own trademark. Do a simply research on internet "flashgames" and check how many websites contains the world flash. Also the rules about domain names are here: http://www.icann.org/en/udrp/udrp.htm Really I think they just changed their name to avoid any kind of troubles even if they would not risk much beside money and time. Edit: I was just checking something on my own and then though what about checking flash as trademark, and guess what: http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4004:j9afq0.3.6 This mean, flashden is a trademark by its onw registered also in the US, so there is CERTAINLY no need to change name. There must be something under we don't know like Adobe paying them to change name otherwise I really don't understand :D

You may start reading tutorials like: http://www.melissaclifton.com/tutorial-freehand.html But there is no "ASAP" in art learning. Or at least for me :D

Actually I doubt Adobe can sue you for the use of the word flash. Why? Because flash is a common word (like window and apple by the way), and therefore you may continue to use it without troubles. Where they can make problems is if you use their logo or something similar but not for the word itself.
