Nonsense / Auto-pruning of Nonsense
« on: 20 Apr 2014, 11:32 »
In this board, topics are automatically removed when they haven't had any posts in 30 days.

Topics will not immediately be deleted permanently, they will be moved to the recycle bin where I then either delete them permanently, or move them to my archive if it's kind of noteworthy/a bit important or useful or something. So if you notice a topic was deleted and want it back, it's worth asking in this topic.

In about a week, I'll enable auto-pruning for the nonsense board, to save database space. That means topics with no activity in a certain amount of days will automatically be deleted every day.

I've been thinking about what the period of inactivity should be before topics are pruned, so what do you think?

Some more details: Topics will not immediately be deleted permanently, they will be moved to the recycle bin where I then either delete them permanently, or move them to my archive if it's kind of noteworthy/a bit important or useful or something. So if you notice a topic was deleted and want it back, it's worth asking.

Forum Games / Don't forget to change the subject
« on: 21 Mar 2014, 09:38 »
A simple forum game: Discuss about anything, but don't forget to change the subject of your post!

Note: I mean the title that will automatically be "Re: Don't forget to change the subject"

CYOA / Post inclusion blacklists/whitelists here
« on: 5 Mar 2014, 11:55 »
I just got this idea, just in case anyone doesn't want to be included in any CYOA, or if you only want (not) to be in certain CYOAs, post it here. You can also still post in individual CYOAs themselves if you don't want to be in them anymore. This connects to rule #6.

General Discussion / Forum rules
« on: 14 Feb 2014, 09:57 »
To keep this forum nice for everyone, we have some rules:
  • No spamming or advertising
    • Links to forums that only exist because you want to have a forum, and/or copy boards that already exist on tOLP/Distractionware (except for boards like General Discussion), may count as unwanted advertising. If you want to link to a forum that is unrelated to VVVVVV, tOLP, etc., or that is specifically for development of a certain VVVVVV level/project for example, then it's probably fine to post.
  • Please keep everything appropriate
    • NSFW (Not Safe For Work) text/links should be marked as such (preferably in spoiler tags), NSFW images are not to be posted.
    • No excessive swearing
    • Nothing illegal
    • This is not the place to promote racism, violence or suicide, or to send other overly offensive content.
  • Don't be rude, a jerk or annoying to others.
    • No trolling, flaming or personal attacks
    • If you know someone hates a certain thing, then don't use it just to troll that person
  • No useless posts which don't have any value even when considered off-topic (like a post containing only "text" in a serious topic). An exception is the Nonsense board.
    • Don't post just a quote of the post above yours without adding anything. If you want to say you agree to a post, please use some text instead of just quoting a post. There's no problem with quoting a previous post to remind someone of it though!
    • Even though Nonsense is Nonsense, it's not a place to spam. Posts that are completely senseless will probably get deleted.
  • If you're bumping a topic, make sure it's useful and relevant to the topic. Don't uselessly bump old topics because you're on a bumping spree.
    • If someone makes a useful and relevant post that bumps a topic, please don't go off-topic and post about how old the topic was. Also check this post. When in doubt, just report the post and it will, or will not, be dealt with.
  • If someone requests to be taken out of a forum game/CYOA, then they shouldn't be included anymore, at least not in further posts.
  • Account and profile rules:
    • One forum account is enough (for one person). Useless alts will be banned or deleted. (But if you forget your password and you cannot use the "Forgot your password?" option for some reason, then feel free to make a temporary account to be able to PM me, then I'll reset the password of your main account)
    • Don't share your account with someone else. If, for example, you want to let your friend post, he/she can make a separate account for it because otherwise it can be too confusing.
    • Don't impersonate others
    • Don't change your username to something unrecognizable with several others. If one person suddenly has a completely different name and avatar okay, people can find out who you are. If around 5 people do it at the same time, not as much.
    • Please don't make your signature higher than around 250px. If needed, you can make your signature smaller by using [spoiler] tags. You won't be warned/banned for having a signature that is too large unless you have a gigantic signature on purpose and/or change it back every time if your signature is put in a spoiler. The signature will automatically get a scrollbar if it's higher than 300 pixels, but note that this is only really a safeguard.
    • Do not circumvent bans. Your remaining ban time will get doubled every time you do so, and may be further increased depending on your actions.

These rules apply to all boards (except where otherwise stated), and can be updated at any time. The forum staff is not responsible for anything that gets posted by members. Failure to comply with these rules may result in a warning or a (post)ban, depending on the severity of the offense. Most of the time it will take serious offenses to get banned, though. If anything happens that isn't covered by these rules, we will do what we deem necessary.

If you have any questions about these rules, yours might be answered here.

Have fun :viridian:

Note for people who view the stats later: No, the massive decrease in activity after these rules were posted was not due to the rules, but due to unfortunate downtime, back in the days when we were still on unreliable hosting.

Forum Games / What do they have in common
« on: 20 Jan 2014, 13:44 »
In this forum game, someone posts a few usernames of people on this forum/distractionware/anywhere which is generally known on here that have something in common, and others try to guess what they have in common. When the correct answer is guessed, the person who guessed it right (first) anyone, can come up with a new set of people.

Example:
Quote from: A
What do AcoG000, blue441, Dav999, IanBoy141 and Luigi700 have in common?
Quote from: B
None of them are the top poster
Quote from: A
Not what I was looking for.
Quote from: C
Their usernames all end with three numbers
Quote from: A
Person C is correct!
Quote from: C
What do FIQ and SoulEye have in common?
Quote from: B
They both live in Sweden!
Quote from: C
Correct!
[etc]

Timeouts:
  • If nobody can come up with the correct answer within 3 guesses, anyone can post a new set of usernames. [EDIT:] But if you want, you can keep on guessing.
  • If the one who guessed right doesn't post a new question within 24 hours, anyone can post instead.
  • If the one who made the question doesn't respond to guesses within 24 hours, anyone can post a new question.

A few rules:
  • No negative things. So no "they all have in common that they're ***s"
  • It should be possible to guess the answer for at least a few people. So it's not a good idea to write a few names down on a piece of paper and say that the thing they have in common is that you wrote their names down on the same piece of paper.
  • It's okay if you don't list ALL people to whom something applies, you can post any amount of people you like. But please don't say something like "But that applies to those people as well! They should have been added to the list!"
  • Rules can be added any time when deemed necessary


I'll start: What do Luigi700, Kurosen and boynedmaster have in common?

General Discussion / DavBB
« on: 10 Jan 2014, 15:04 »
This is the general topic about DavBB!

For the people who don't know what it is, it's a forum software that's being developed my me. Currently there's a development site on which new versions are being made while it's online, so I'm not giving that link to everyone yet the link is in reply #2. Doormat installed a copy of DavBB which everyone can use, though. It's at http://dforum.web44.net/. Feel free to register and post on that!

Also, feel free to suggest ideas and report bugs on http://ideas.davbb.tk (if that one doesn't work, try visiting http://davbb.idea.informer.com instead).

General Discussion / BACK!
« on: 10 Nov 2013, 12:34 »
After more than a month, the forum is finally back up! Hopefully this host will not suspend the site, but I'll still make daily backups like I've always done.

Have fun!

Forum Games / Random Street View images
« on: 28 Aug 2013, 02:13 »
The first person posts the name of any country in the world, and the next person goes to Google Maps, drops the yellow Street View person at any random location in that country and posts a screenshot of where they landed (without rotating or moving) and posts the name of the next country. Countries can be reused.

I'll start: The next person has to post a screenshot of a random Street View image in Italy!

General Discussion / Moving hosts
« on: 19 Aug 2013, 13:26 »
Hello everyone,

I have found a new host for the forum which should be better than the current one. Hopefully we will have less downtime and people using AT&T should be able to connect to it without using a proxy.

We will be moving in 3 days. On 22 August 2013, at 6:00 PM UTC, this forum will go in maintenance mode so I can copy the database of tolp.net16.net to the new site, tolp2.tk/forum/index.php. Currently, that website is already accessible (also the homepage at tolp2.tk) but the new forum is still closed. If everything goes well, and if no issues arise, the new forum will open the same day at 7:00 PM UTC (EDIT: earlier if possible), with all information (posts, members, everything) copied over, so you can just log in after the move. This forum at tolp.net16.net will redirect.

I hope the new host will allow us to enjoy the tOLP forums even more. :viridian:

Cheers, Dav999.

Forum Games / Extensions.exe
« on: 15 Jul 2013, 09:47 »
A new type of forum game.wav! You should end all sentences with an extension which already exists (so don't start making up extensions, you have to prove it exists if nobody believes you), and you can't use extensions which have already been used before in this topic (including the title).mp3. Put the extension before the punctuation (., ?, ! or whatever you end a sentence with normally, if you even end it).png.

Enjoy, and the table of Vermilions below doesn't count.bmp!

Forum Games / Think of your own nonsense rules
« on: 6 Jul 2013, 03:46 »
In this forum game, each post should contain a new rule which all next posts in this topic should follow! Don't make rules which would end the game, such as "No following post can contain a new rule." or rules which are conflicting/contradictory.

I'll start: All following posts must contain the :viridian: smiley at least once!

VVVVVV / Gamestates
« on: 16 Jun 2013, 03:05 »
I thought it would be handy to have a separate topic for the gamestates, because there are some interesting things that can be done with gamestates (and it's about only one internal command)

List of gamestates
0 - Break out from most gamestates
1 - Set gamestate to 0 (i.e. same as above in practice)
2 - "To do: write quick intro to story!"
4 - "Press arrow keys or WASD to move"
5 - Runs the script "returntohub" (i.e. fadeout, teleport to right before The Tower, fadein, play Passion for Exploring)
7 - Removes textboxes
8 - "Press enter to view map and quicksave"
9 - Super Gravitron
10 - Gravitron
11 - "When you're NOT standing on stop and wait for you" (Tries to access flipmode check to write "the ceiling" or "the floor", and check crewmate, but as this fails, the above prints instead)
12 - "You can't continue to the next room until he is safely accross."
13 - Removes textboxes quickly
14 - "When you're standing on the floor," (the same applies here as for 11)
15 - Makes Viridian happy
16 - Makes Viridian sad
17 - "If you prefer, you can press UP or DOWN instead of ACTION to flip."
20 - If flag 1 is 0, set flag 1 to 1 and remove textboxes
21 - If flag 2 is 0, set flag 2 to 1 and remove textboxes
22 - "Press ACTION to flip"
30 - "I wonder why the ship teleported me here alone?" "I hope everyone else got out ok…"
31 - "Violet, is that you?" cutscene (as long as flag 6 is 0)
32 - If flag 7 is 0: "A teleporter!" "I can get back to the ship with this!"
33 - If flag 9 is 0: Victoria-cutscene
34 - If flag 10 is 0: Vitellary-cutscene
35 - If flag 11 is 0: Verdigris-cutscene
36 - If flag 8 is 0: Vermilion-cutscene
37 - Vitellary after gravitron
38 - Vermilion after gravitron
39 - Verdigris after gravitron
40 - Victoria after gravitron
41 - If flag 60 is 0: run the beginning of intermission 1 cutscene
42 - If flag 62 is 0: run the 3rd intermission 1 cutscene
43 - If flag 63 is 0: run the 4th intermission 1 cutscene
44 - If flag 64 is 0: run the 5th intermission 1 cutscene
45 - If flag 65 is 0: run the 6th intermission 1 cutscene
46 - If flag 66 is 0: run the 7th intermission 1 cutscene
47 - If flag 69 is 0: "Ohh! I wonder what that is?" trinket cutscene
48 - If flag 70 is 0: "This seems like a good place to store anything I find out there…" (Victoria not found yet)
49 - If flag 71 is 0: Play Predestined Fate
50 - "Help! Can anyone hear this message?"
51 - "Verdigris? Are you out there? Are you ok?"
52 - "Please help us! We've crashed and need assistance!"
53 - "Hello? Anyone out there?"
54 - "This is Doctor Violet from the D.S.S. Souleye! Please respond!"
55 - "Please… Anyone…"
56 - "Please be alright, everyone…"
With gamestate 50-56, you can choose where to start, because everything will appear after each other (did anyone know that if you wait after "Help! Can anyone hear this message?", there will be more text?)
80 - If screen is black (and only if), continue to state 81 (My guess is that this is called when ESC is pressed, before the pause meny opens)
81 - Go back to the main menu
82 - Results of time trial (bugged)
83 - If screen is back, continue to state 84
84 - Results of time trial (I think 82 works better than 84)
85 - The Time Trial version of gamestate 200 (Flash, play Positive Force, turn on finalstretch mode)
States 90-95 are time trial related, but doesn't work properly in custom levels. The only real effects that happens in custom levels is a warp, and music change
90 - Space Station 1
91 - The Laboratory
92 - Warp Zone
93 - The Tower
94 - Space Station 2
95 - Final Level
96 - If the screen is black, continue to state 97
97 - Exit from Super Gravitron (teleport and play Pipe Dream)
100 - If flag 4 is 0: continue to state 101
101 - If you are flipped, flip back to floor, continue to state 102
The following states (102-112) tries to go to the current state + 1, like in 50-56 (but doesn't loop around), but may glitch as half of the states (103, 105, 107, 109, 111) doesn't exist.
102 - Verdigris: "Captain! I've been so worried!"
104 - "I'm glad you're ok!"
106 - "I've been trying to find a way out, but I keep going around in circles…"
108 - "Don't worry! I have a teleporter key!"
110 - "Follow me!"
112 - Removes textboxes
115 - Essentially nothing, continue to state 116
116 - Red dialog at the bottom of the screen saying "Sorry Eurogamers! Teleporting around the map doesn't work in this version!", continue to state 117, which doesn't exist, so things may fail
118 - Removes textboxes
State 120-128 works a bit like 102-112, i.e. in a series, but with less broken things
120 - If flag 5 is 0: continue to state 121
121 - If you're on the floor, flip.
122 - Vitellary: "Captain! You're ok!"
124 - Vitellary: "I've found a teleporter, but I can't get it to go anywhere…"
126 - "I can help with that!"
128 - "I have the teleporter codex for our ship!"
130 - "Yey! Let's go home!" (never heard of this cutscene before? Probably things Terry played with before coming up with the current story/etc /fiq)
132 - Removes textboxes
200 - Final mode
1000 - Turns on cutscenebars, freezes the game, continue to state 1001
1001 - You got a shiny trinket! dialog (but you didn't actually get any, this is just called each time you get one), continue to state 1003
1003 - Revert game to normal
1010 - You found a crewmate! in the same manner as for trinkets
2000 - Save the game
2500-2509 - Perform a teleport to some weird non-existent location, supposedly to The Laboratory I guess, continue to state 2510
2510 - Viridian: "Hello?", continue to state 2512
2512 - Viridian: "Is anybody there?", continue to state 2514
2514 - Removes textboxes, play Potential For Anything
3000-3099 states:
3000-3005 - Level Complete! You've rescued the crewmate applied to companion(), defaults to Verdigris. 6=Verdigris, 7=Vitellary, 8=Victoria, 9=vermillion, 10=viridian (yes, really), 11=Violet (Gamestates: 3006-3011=Verdigris, 3020-3026=Vitellary, 3040-3046=Victoria, 3060-3066=Vermillion, 3080-3086=Viridian, 3050-3056=Violet)
3070-3072 - Perform postrescue things, usually return to ship
4010 - Flash + warp
4070 - The Final Level, but the game will crash when you reach timeslip! (Because of how the game gets entity information, which is broken in custom levels)
4080 - Captain teleported back to the ship: "Hello!" [C[C[C[C[Captain!] cutscene + credits
!!!The above will mess up your save data so don't do it unless you backed up!!!
4090 - Cutscene after you complete space station 1


Also, there is something interesting with gamestate 4070, it doesn't always crash in Timeslip! I managed to continue playing the rest of the Final Level yesterday, but today it crashes in Timeslip again... :shrug:

In this board, you can read what the tOLP contributors talked about while the level was being made! :viridian: It's a bit spoilery, so it's recommended to read this only after having completed the level.

More posts like the ones in this board can be found in the old contibutors' discussion board on tolp.webs.com, which is now public too! Check it out here: http://tolp.webs.com/apps/forums/show/14220227-contributors-discussion

Remember when I said this in the old forum?

#1 thread in this forum! :D I have seemn forums with threads of THOUSANDS (!!!) of pages long! :o

In this topic, try to find forum threads anywhere on the internet which are larger than the thread the person before you posted!

I'll start with this thread I found. It has 408172 posts as of now. :surprise: It started in 2003 and still gets new posts today.

Try to find a thread somewhere with more posts!

(Oh, and in the post count, count the first post in a thread too)

« on: 18 May 2013, 17:18 »
Have something off-topic to say, which doesn't fit in another thread but which isn't important enough to create a new thread about? Post it here! This topic is probably going to be the big general chat thread. :viridian:

I'll just start by saying that my computer said that the hard drive was nearly full, and after that I cleared up almost 7 GB by just closing all apps (I didn't have THAT many of them running) and just by restarting, I cleared another 14 GB! :o I think all sorts of temporary files just started to pile up for different apps, and that just needed to be finally cleared up. I also haven't restarted in a long time.
