You'd be surprised. Not only is it ridiculously hard to make it in the music industry, artists aren't paid very well because all the music labels are all super greedy and take all the money. I'm happy sticking with development (also not having to tour is a huge win).

Lol. DANGIT WOOD!!!!!! No, but really, I suck at everything except for music and tech. Haven't done the music thing for a long time now either. I'd rather cater to the hundreds of thousands of people that use LaunchBox.

LaunchBox for MS-DOS Special Edition 1.0 Discussion
Jason Carr replied to Jason Carr's topic in Features
Hahahaha. Indeed! -
Awesome, great to hear that people already knew Wood.
-
I can do that. Not sure why it wouldn't let you. Also, just featured it in the news vid, John:
-
Sure, we can add options for those here soon.
-
Yeah, it is. Though that's a good question as to how to change the volume on it...we'll have to look into that.
-
We gotta keep you guys on your toes.
-
Awesome, thanks @Bardock. I did update the translation, but I am going to disable it for the official release here, which should be out shortly. Then we'll re-enable it for the first 7.6 beta and get everything squared away.
-
@CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT I haven't looked through everything yet but I am going to go ahead with the official release. We'll get back to bug testing on that shortly after.
-
Thanks Kevin, I do plan to add more features to the startup videos, but at a later date.
-
Thanks @kmoney, yes I am aware of that. If there's not a ticket for it, we should add one. It's not a super high priority, but we should add a Platform option to the Steam importer.
-
Good to know. Perhaps it's just the fact that we use DirectX XAudio for sound processing, much like games do. Sounds like this might be even more difficult to track down.

LaunchBox for MS-DOS Special Edition 1.0 Discussion

I know folks had Commodore 64s in the US, but honestly I know nothing about them. I'm sure there's a version of BASIC for them, though; it'd be fun to play with. But yeah, as long as you don't mind me taking a while to figure things out and get it done. -
Launch Box Unexpected error message
Jason Carr replied to idmrbiggs's topic in Website/Forum Support
Hi @idmrbiggs, this error means you've run out of disk space. You'll need to free up some hard drive space. -
So much appreciated though. You do really amazing work. @CriticalCid amazes me sometimes though because it seems he has a knack for both lol.
-
Ah, good find. Yes, I remember that now. Extra long scrolling notes can sometimes cause lag because of the text placement calculations; my solution for the default theme was to just set them to use a static percentage width, which resolved it performance-wise. @CriticalCid, we should work on that together to get that fixed for the CriticalZone themes.
-
I'm guessing that it happens even if a video is paused. We noticed recently that VLC still does a lot of its processing while paused, so that might be it. Does it happen if you switch to using Windows Media Player as the video playback engine?
-
Awesome, thanks much @CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT. @keltoigael What view are you using in those themes? Does it happen with all platforms views? I'm sure there's a reason for it, it just might be hard to pinpoint. I remember watching the video on it, though; so sorry if I keep asking the same questions.
-
Thank you @johnugamer; yes I did see that. I believe that is being caused by VLC. Unfortunately I won't be fixing that one for 7.5; the issue is that as long as there is a video running, it's likely to prevent your computer from sleeping. Most video games won't allow your computer to sleep either. I don't consider this really a bug, though I do understand how it's annoying. The only way I can figure to fix it would be to time out after a while and stop playing all videos.
-
Thanks guys, good to hear. Though I am still seeing the issue I described above with the PlatformWheel3FiltersView, but I expect that it's probably a separate issue then.
-
Alright guys, another new beta is out. I'm still planning to proceed with the official release tomorrow morning, so any testing you can do between now and then would be much appreciated. I've spent most of the day fixing and trying to reproduce obscure bugs. There are still a few outstanding bugs, but as far as I know, this release is more stable than 7.4, so it doesn't make sense to delay it. I will continue to focus on bugfixes initially after the 7.5 release. @adu Unfortunately I haven't gotten through that issue yet, but it is on my short list so I'll tackle it soon. @CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT I added quite a few more safety checks to help us debug your music lockup issue, so I'm hoping that you'll get an error message instead of a lockup if it happens again. If you're able to test between now and tomorrow morning, we may just be able to get the actual fix in before the official release. Thanks all and happy testing.
-
Okay, I have that, so I'll take a look.
-
@adu I just tested that stuff and couldn't reproduce it yet. Do you have Scrolling Notes enabled in Big Box under Options > Game Details > Scrolling Notes?
-
Lololololol. @keltoigael There it is. That's our new official startup video. Per the Steam banner issue, @CriticalCid and I just worked it out. It turned out it was just that the image group was set to 3D boxes instead of regular boxes, and so the image priorities weren't taking effect.
