Thread: Bugs (and strange things...)

>>never seen that in opera

stfu! mozilla ownz!!

The code section's still leave a lot to be desired. Simply pasting from MSVC into this windows create's a huge mess. Not to mention that this also distorts some of the Direct3D constants - and I have no idea why.

Code:

_device->SetTextureStageState(0,D3DTSS_COLORARG1,D3DTA_TEXTURE);

No idea why that's happening. I also wish there was some way you guys could allow us to use the TAB key inside of posts - the TAB right now changes focus which sucks. Dunno how many times I've tabbed while trying to indent my code and messed up my post.

The board needs to ignore TABs in code sections or treat all TABs as 2 space indents - this would make it easier when pasting from an IDE since I think most of us use 2 or 4 space indents when we code. Right now a TAB looks like 8 characters which really messes your pasted code up. Also it is nearly impossible to line up functions with long parameter lists - no matter how much you space over or how it looks when you create the post...it does not look the same when you actually submit it.

These errors/annoyances have been prevalent in both versions of the board.

Code:

MyClass->ThisIsAHugeParamList(int Arg1,
                                                    int Arg2,
                                                    int Arg3,
                                                    int Arg4,
                                                    int Arg5);

See what I mean??

I use them, but that's because I used to use Notepad and I was too lazy to press space twice. Now, I can just set tab size !

I prefer to hit tab once, and have everything line up like it's supposed to, than accidentally miss hitting space the fourth time, or hitting it an extra time, and ending up with code that's all over the place. And, I prefer hitting tab once over hitting space four times anyday.

In most IDEs, you can configure it to replace tabs with x number of spaces.

Ah yes, but the point was that it would be convenient to be able to hit 'tab' in the code editor, and it would insert a tab character instead of changing the focus

Actually, I've experimented with the tab-replaced-with-spaces thing, but gave up on it because I'd already been using tab for the first half of the project, and I was getting disoriented with hitting backspace 4 times and realizing that it was actually a tab character, or hitting it once and realizing that it was four spaces

They're nicer than trying to use spaces and ending up with screwed-up inconsistent indentation.

Weird....

This appears to come about as the result of a very long "word". Eg, Here are 65 A's in a row with no spaces (on my part at least).

Code:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
