i am realy surprised that noone found it yet

Too bad I haven't coded anything usable in years. Otherwise I might have had a go at it but I can't even remember the syntax for the IF statement in C++. Strangely enough I do remember 10 Print "Hello world "; 20 Goto 10 In Commodore C64 Basic

Ps. The ; after "Hello world" is intentional to not have a line break after each print command

Anything to do with everybody complaining with the skins being "outdated" and having to change the references file to 0.2.3.0?

nope. not related.

ppl should stop complaing about that, because it is just stupid.

the skinauthors only have to update their skins to make it svn-build-compatble

he, that just shows me which section of the forums is not used by the users.... so sad

i hear that soooooooo often.....

so here you have got an opportunity to get into it gain. VisualStudio express is free and many tutorials are available for free in the web.

@all: dont always wait for others, go and create it

I'm just too lazy

 

[zag2me]

now i realy do not understand why it should be unseful in any way......

only because you dont have to "spend time with unpacking" ?

who creates rar files in store mode?
because the compression rate is the whole point of using compressors

First, let me stress that I'm talking about legal content. When you download a movie it is generally in a set of rars. That is how movies get released. It's not necessarily something we do for fun or for storage reasons, it's how the movie is released. I would imagine that initially it was done this way so that if you did have a transfer error (we're talking FTP servers) you would simply have to start back on the rar you left off on. Also, when couriers are racing the releases from site to site, multiple couriers can be transferring the same release to the same site (hence racing). For that to work the release HAS to be split up into a set of files. I would get credit for each rar I transfer and you would get credit for the ones you transferred. So, by the time the release hits sources that the general users have access to it is still in the rar set. This is how things have been done for a long time now. The benefit of streaming out of the rars is that once I have RAR 1 I can begin watching the movie. That, to me, outweighs the fact that I don't have to unrar (although that is nice too). I understand that supporting this is not like waving a magic wand and seeing it appear in the code, I'm just trying to help you understand. I hope that clears it up.

It is irrelevant if the content it legal or downloaded, the developers should never care about what the end user is doing or be inhibited by it.

Going down that path we all might as well go use MCE and its DRM.

I simply meant for the sake of keeping the discussion legal, not the content that users may or may not have.
