I know i haven't had much time recently to go onto omnimaga.org. However i am making progress on a new rpg i am currently developing. I know that in the past few months i have started and halted many unfinished projects and have not really produced anything concrete for omnimaga to see. Hopefully this rpg will go further than most of my projects and i have some screenshots here for you all to look. Please feel free to comment! i have put them in a rar file since there is 7 of them and it is easier to upload them together than separately.
I am uploading these to YouTube with album art. Here is the playlist on YouTube:
Spoiler For original post:
Jason's Melody No.3 - classical improv Is here. I am currently working on melodies 4,5,6 6 is turning out to be really good. but 3 is my best completed melody i had to reduce the quality though... it's at 128kbps
I've been thinking about this for a while and i've finally decided to post a topic about it. Many times i post something in a topic and then i realise that the original post in the topic is completely irrelevant to what i just said. This is just an idea, but, wouldn't it be great if you could view the first post in a topic from the top of every page? Like the polls that are visible? so that our posts would be possibly more relevant to the topic. also to make it not intruding, it could be hidden like the forum categories with a "-" button.
I understand that there are issues about page loading, bandwidth, and website modification, but i guess the first step is to discuss about it with the rest of the community to get a better idea of the general perception.
So hopefully there will be lots of good discussion on this...
I noticed a while ago on os 2.1 that i could switch to the chinese language, however, i didn't know how to type them. I saw a moving screenshot by goplat on typing chinese screenshots here: http://ourl.ca/7762/137325 HOw do i do that? i would so love to type chinese!
oops question solved.... in another topic
from goplat
First, you have to choose it as the language (from the home menu, go to "5:Settings & Status" and "1:Change Language..."; it's the last two options) Press the flag button to toggle between Chinese input on and off. When it's enabled, a "?" symbol appears in the upper-right. Type in the word you want phonetically (in Pinyin for Simplified Chinese, in Bopomofo for Traditional Chinese), then press the number for the correct character.
I never mentioned my musical talent in the Introduce Yourself! when i first joined. I play a musical instrument. I began playing the piano in 2001. So i have been playing for almost 10 years!!! In July 2010 I completed AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board) Piano For Leisure Eighth Grade level. I am now working on completing the next level.
I have also recently begun composing. As to date i have completed 3 melodies that you all might like! I have placed my 3rd melody on the music downloads section waiting to be approved. I will provide a link when it is approved.
I had some time to work on this today, and I've completed it. Here you can run 2 emulator versions by using the two batch files. A full step-by-step readme created by me will help people set up the emulator.
Enjoy!
PS: next version i hope to include ncubate in this package too.
EDIT: Very outdated. I hoped to create batch files for the latest version of nspire_emu (070, at this time, though adding in the CX functionality has been taking a while, I stopped for many months)
since i just recently changed my signature (see below), i was thinking of posting something about it.then i thought a brilliant idea, i could make a new topic that was like What is your avatar, instead it's about signatures!
My old one was unnspiring (lol) it just had a link to my poker game for TI-nspire. So i created a new one which had progress for all my programs, and typed in the special characters for the progress bars because i had found 3 special characters that had this pattern (again see below)
so this topic is for you guys to comment on how your signatures became what they are today. Have Fun!
Civilization V came out a while ago (21 sep for US, 24 sep for the rest), anyone tried it? I think it is a good improvement, and much more realistic!!! Lots of things have been simplified too. I like where you can just view the game conditions (difficulty, type of map, length of game) through circles when you bring up the game menu. (hopefully i can have a screenshot of this)
sneakpeek here!!! more coming soon! Sneakpeek here!!!
Spoiler For Spoiler:
First for every line of pixels you want to create you must create 2 lists and save separately to 2 variables, 1 will determine the x coordinate, 1 for the y coordinate eg: px1, py1
Ok here's more now As you have looked at my screenshots from my first topic for HBs, there are 2 health bars. I zoomed the graphing window in so that my values for the variables would line up. with me so far? window x min -10 x max 10. y min -2 y max 5.44 I adjusted the window for the best fit and so that the bars wouldn't look too fat or thin
Now onto how it works I created 4 'lines' of pixels for each bar so the first bar has variables px1 - px4 and py1 - py4 that determine how much health is in the bar. got it? You have to trial and error to see which coordinates will work. you can also zoom in to see more clearly and zoom back out to see how it will look to the rest of the people who try the program
How to get pixels to display??? Not many people have discovered how to do this. Only Elliot way with his graphical card games and some others have got it. It took me a while before i got it too. To get the points to plot you go to the graphing window. Press menu and change the type of graph from function to scatter plot. This is how you can put in x and y coordinates. Got it? Then go down the bottom to the function bar, you will see s1 { -> -> something like that. at the top put in px1 at the bottom put in py1 when you have put in lists in for these two variables, the pixels should start showing 1 function for each line of pixels so s2 will have px2 and py2 and so on...
Briefing: Here is my apology – the one many of you have been waiting for. Throughout the process I have tried to make it as clear as possible by splitting it into distinct sections as seen below. Also, since the whole apology is long, I have hid the unnecessary parts under a spoiler because some of you probably won’t have enough time to read the entire apology. If you only have time to read a bit, read the Overall Apology and The Future paragraphs. Some people may regard the whole matter with scepticism, some accepting it, but I invite you to read this apology with an open mind. I hope laying out all my mistakes out in plain view isn’t too dramatic.
Introduction: Opening Statement: Thank you to all. I start with this sentence because now I realise just how friendly and vibrant a community Omnimaga.org is, but more so, just how ruthlessly I tried to eradicate the integrity of the whole community. The effect that my actions had on Omnimaga, however were not at all what I had originally intended. I have now reread the forum rules many times and have realised my actions have violated quite a few of those rules.
How I became a member: I had watched Omnimaga as a guest for a while and found I quite liked it so I joined on 03 September 2010, 10:50:11 am (+10 GMT). I admired DJ Omnimaga’s ability to continually inform and help the fellow members of his site and with his phenomenal number of posts and respect; I could see that he really was passionate about Omnimaga. I hoped that I could also follow his example to help other people.
Overall Effect: The way I approached the forum during the month of September backfired and instead of achieving what I had originally intended to do, I unintentionally achieved the opposite effect – hurting everyone and the site as a whole, but most of all hurting DJ Omnimaga, the creator of all this.
I won’t say it was all unintentional, however. That would be the wrong thing to do. I would say that I wasn’t thinking about how different talking on an online forum is to talking to real life. So my intention was expressed in a way that was offensive to Omnimaga which is not what I wanted to do.
For consequences, read the section below titled: Overall Consequences.
The mistakes: Firstly, a few of my posts brushed some of the forum rules. I have tried my best to track them all down, if I have missed any, notify me.
Spoiler For Spoiler:
Part 1 – Minor mistakes 1. About: On my 7th /8th post (I double posted but fixed it up), I criticised the Wacky Fun Random Numbar Generator, however after DJ Omni explained the situation I apologised on my next post. Result: -1 respect for the first post, +1 for the second. Link: http://ourl.ca/6862/114501 Violation: Rule 2 – negative criticism on someone’s work Rule 3 – Double posting 2. About: When DJ Omnimaga announced the possible hosting move I replied too strongly, more than I originally intended. Result: Warning from DJ Omnimaga in IRC. (see the Part 1 – Consequences section) Violation: No specific rule but the way I said it was borderline, and challenging the authority of the website. 3. About: RPG Style Health bars for the TI-nspire (full section detailed in Part 2) 4. About: I came upon a post by verdant in the topic Post your Nspire routines here! It had fuck in it lots of times and other stuff. I responded to it too strongly. I also commented on another of his posts which had the same type of spamming. I also vigorously and repeatedly told the moderators to ban verdant. Now that I look back on my comments I know that the way I said this was far too enforcing. On IRC I made DJ Omni angry about the whole verdant issue by expressing the wrong meaning, and again going against the authority and forum rules. Result: Warning from DJ Omnimaga in IRC. (see the Part 1 – Consequences section and the links below) Violation: No specific rule but the forum rules do state that swearing is allowed, and I opposed this rule by using high modality to unknowingly give the effect that I was stating forum rules, which of course, I now realise my mistake in making my own rules. D’oh! Link: http://ourl.ca/4852/116364 http://ourl.ca/6748/116378 OmnomIRC log from September 11: It starts at [00:52:53]. Now I reread it I get more of what DJ Omnimaga was trying to say, not just about this issue but about all the previous issues. When I returned to IRC at [01:19:08], DJ gave me a stern warning. (More in Part 1 consequences) http://netham45.org/irc/EfNet/view.php?log=omnimaga.20100911
Part 1 – Consequences As I am now reflecting on these events, I have realised the overall effect that I have given Omnimaga.org and it has been one where I thought I was the authority and could tell people what to do. Telling people how to run their site was a big mistake on my part and I was given a stern warning by DJ Omni on OmnomIRC. http://netham45.org/irc/EfNet/view.php?log=omnimaga.20100911 However at this time I continued with my ruthless actions which were to set me up for further trouble.
Spoiler For Spoiler:
Part 2 – Leading up to the major mistakes – copyright issues. 1. About: At one point I discovered how to make health bars for the TI-nspire graphing calculator. Immediately I was reluctant to publish this as no one had done the exact thing before. I started getting obnoxious and arrogant about the whole subject and post 4 useless posts about ways people can look at source code. Result: All 4 posts were rated down by DJ Omnimaga (-4 in total) Violation: Borderline on Rule 1 Link: http://ourl.ca/7009/116335 2. About: When I was about to do a good thing by releasing my health bars program, the evil side of me took over and instead postponed the release of the program, but then I went too far and called SnakeX a kind of code stealer. I went even further by employing a method people could ‘use’ the health bars program through a complicated process. Result: -8 respect for that post and a weeklong ban Violation: Rule 1 – provocative comments towards SnakeX and Omnimaga as a whole. Weeklong Ban Link: http://ourl.ca/7009/117446
Overall Consequences (Part 2 – Consequences)
When I realised I had been banned, the implications of my actions dawned on me. I hung my head in shame for being so stupid, so protruding, so oblivious of the effects my comments had on others and to the consequences that could occur. I was also leaving for China the next day but before I left, DJ Omnimaga and I had a private chat about the whole situation and it was settled. This apology is a result of clarifying it to the whole of the Omnimaga community. I could have been banned forever due to my attacks on the site itself, but the only reason I wasn’t put on the blacklist was that I was a new member. This made me realise how close Respect: I lost 12 respect in total from that one topic. It dropped from +3 to -9 -1
Overall Apology
I have seriously been shocked at my actions on the Omnimaga forum. I never knew I could wreak such havoc in such a short amount of time. I admit that when joined Omnimaga; I did not read the forum rules properly. After I joined, the effect that my actions had on Omnimaga, however were not at all what I had originally intended. I was an outsider trying to stubbornly barge my way in, instead of respecting the authority. My stupidity cost me the respect that I had earned and more.
After I had been banned, I decided to look at the forum rules. As I read each rule, I realised that I had unknowingly plunged into the forum without any regard whatsoever to the rules. As I read each rule, I realised the true reasons why DJ Omnimaga and the rest of the admin had given me warnings about. There was so much I didn’t know at that time, and the wrong thing I did was to assume that I knew all the rules and could just command blindlessly without knowing the circumstances. I was like plunging into the ocean without first putting on scuba gear.
I say a deep apology to everyone who is a part of Omnimaga for my actions and I hope that you will all forgive me. I should also say a deeper apology to the founder of this great community, DJ Omnimaga, who I so admire and respect, for my terrible actions that have given you such a bad first impression of me.
Throughout this apology, I have tried to show my sincerity as much as possible by laying out my every action that has been offensive. All I hope is that you all accept that.
The Future Now that I have a clearer picture of the forum conditions, I will try and take care of my words and make sure that: 1. They don’t challenge authority 2. They don’t criticise other people in a negative/destructive/rude way.
Advice to others My advice to others is to go back to the forum rules from time to time and make sure that you attitude towards Omnimaga isn’t violating any of those rules. I may add some more to this apology later when the circumstances arises.
Yours Sincerely, jhgenius01

2nd edition
Official Apology (2nd Edition) to Omnimaga.org by jhgenius01
Briefing: First attempts aren’t always perfect and so I am creating a new version of my apology. (Sorry, I’m a kind of perfectionist)
EDITED FROM 1st EDITION: Here is my apology – the one many of you have been waiting for. Throughout the process I have tried to make it as clear as possible by splitting it into distinct sections as seen below. If you only have time to read a bit, read the Overall Apology and The Future paragraphs. I invite you to read this apology with an open mind.
Introduction: Opening Statement: Thank you to all. I start with this sentence because now I realise just how friendly and vibrant a community Omnimaga.org is, but more so, just how ruthlessly I tried to eradicate the integrity of the whole community in my most recent actions. I had made many minor mistakes previously but the way I handled the copyright program issue was unacceptable of me. The effect that these actions had on Omnimaga, however were not at all what I had originally intended. I have now reread the forum rules many times and have realised my actions have violated quite a few of those rules, but the way I handled the most recent issue that gave me a weeklong ban is the issue that matters most.
How I became a member: I had watched Omnimaga as a guest for a while and found I quite liked it so I joined on 03 September 2010, 10:50:11 am (+10 GMT). I admired DJ Omnimaga’s ability to continually inform and help the fellow members of his site and with his phenomenal number of posts and respect; I could see that he really was passionate about Omnimaga. I hoped that I could also follow his example to help other people.
Overall Effect: The way I approached the forum during the month of September backfired and instead of achieving what I had originally intended to do, I unintentionally achieved the opposite effect – hurting everyone and the site as a whole, but most of all hurting DJ Omnimaga, the creator of all this. I should also say a big apology to SnakeX, since it is he that I was directing my anger most during the events that occurred at the end of September.
I won’t say it was all unintentional, however. That would be the wrong thing to do. I would say that I wasn’t thinking about how different talking on an online forum is to talking to people in real life. So my intention was expressed in a way that was offensive to Omnimaga which is not what I wanted to do.
For consequences, read the section below titled: Overall Consequences.
The mistakes: Firstly, a few of my posts brushed some of the forum rules. I have tried my best to track them all down, if I have missed any, notify me.
Part 1 – minor mistakes – I was an outsider in a new forum. The first few mistakes that I made were minor in comparison with what was to come. http://ourl.ca/6862/114501 http://ourl.ca/6992 http://ourl.ca/4852/116364 http://ourl.ca/6748/116378 Ignorance of the rules was a part of these but because I was still a new member, I was let off with a warning. As I am now reflecting on these events, I have realised the overall effect that I have given Omnimaga.org has been one where I thought I was the authority and could tell people what to do. Telling people how to run their site was a big mistake on my part and I was given a stern warning by DJ Omni on OmnomIRC. http://netham45.org/irc/EfNet/view.php?log=omnimaga.20100911 (from [00:52:53]). However at this time I kind of didn’t realise what implications that would occur if I continued.
Part 2 – major mistake – Health Bars for the TI-nspire copyright issues
At one point I discovered how to make health bars for the TI-nspire graphing calculator. Immediately I was reluctant to publish the actual source code for the program this as no one had done the exact thing before. I started getting obnoxious and arrogant about the whole subject and posted 4 useless posts about ways people can look at source code. All 4 posts were rated down by DJ Omnimaga (-4 in total) The posts were borderline on Rule 1 Link: http://ourl.ca/7009/116335
When I was about to do a good thing by releasing my health bars program on ticalc.org, the evil side of me took over and instead postponed the release of the program, but then I went too far and called SnakeX a kind of code stealer. I went even further by employing a method people could ‘use’ the health bars program through a complicated process. -8 respect for that post and a weeklong ban Rule 1 – provocative comments towards SnakeX and Omnimaga as a whole. Link: http://ourl.ca/7009/117446
Aftermath
When I realised I had been banned, the implications of my actions dawned on me. I hung my head in shame for being so stupid, so protruding, so oblivious of the effects my comments had on others and to the consequences that could occur. I was also leaving for China the next day but before I left, DJ Omnimaga and I had a private chat about the whole situation and it was settled. This apology is a result of clarifying it to the whole of the Omnimaga community. I could have been banned forever due to my attacks on the site itself, but the only reason I wasn’t put on the blacklist was that I was a new member. This made me realise how close Respect: I lost 12 respect in total from that one topic. It dropped from +3 to -9
Overall Apology
I have seriously been shocked at my actions on the Omnimaga forum. I never knew I could wreak such havoc in such a short amount of time. I admit that when joined Omnimaga; I did not read the forum rules properly. After I joined, the effect that my most recent actions had on Omnimaga and on SnakeX, and everyone else’s reaction were not at all what I had originally intended. My selfishness prevented me from releasing my program and caused me to lose control. My stupidity cost me the respect that I had earned and more.
After I had been banned, I decided to look at the forum rules. As I read each rule, I realised that I had unknowingly plunged into the forum without any regard whatsoever to the rules. As I read each rule, I realised the true reasons why DJ Omnimaga and the rest of the admin had given me warnings about. There was so much I didn’t know at that time, and the wrong thing I did was to assume that I knew all the rules and could just command blindlessly without knowing the circumstances. I was like jumping from an aeroplane 10000m up without putting on a parachute and other safety gear first.
I say a deep apology to everyone who is a part of Omnimaga for my actions, but most especially my attitude towards SnakeX and I hope that you will all forgive me. I should also say a deeper apology to the founder of this great community, DJ Omnimaga, who I so admire and respect, for my terrible actions that have given you such a bad first impression of me.
Throughout this apology, I have tried to show my sincerity as much as possible by laying out my every action that has been offensive. All I hope is that you all accept that.
[A few more things that I’ve run out of space to tell] The whole situation made me feel like I was verdant. I felt really terrible.
Personal Apology to Snake X It is you who I should say a deep apology to for my recent actions. My most shocking actions on the forum were directed at you and must have had some effect, classifying you as a code stealer. What a silly thing to say. I was so selfish that I forgot that I actually told the forum that looking at other people’s code was the way to learn! (This was in the topic where I commented about verdant, btw) Your eagerness to learn is a good thing and this is the aim of Omnimaga, which I violated in my actions towards you. For your eagerness you will be rewarded and one of the first to receive a copy of my program.
The Future Now that I have a clearer picture of the forum conditions, I will try and take care of my words and make sure that: 1. They don’t challenge authority 2. They don’t criticise other people in a negative/destructive/rude way. I will also try and help people as much as possible but also keeping in mind at the same time not to get arrogant and selfish along the way.
Advice to others My advice to others is to go back to the forum rules from time to time and make sure that you attitude towards Omnimaga isn’t violating any of those rules. The 2nd Edition of this apology should now clear some things up and address more about the Health Bars issue.
EDIT: This post below is my biggest mistake... (that's why it's highlighted in blue...)
Spoiler For Spoiler:
"well ive posted it to ticalc.org but im not sure it is the right decision. i was actually thinking about putting this into an RPG, i could work with superbany. EDIT: Wait a minute... Snake X said that... (I just realised...) Hmm.......maybe i should quickly remove it. SnakeX looks too eager to my liking...
too bad, i felt like i made a sense of achievement when i posted but when i look at SnakeX's post (no offence) i feel uncomfortable. the Hold 'em poker is ok to be on ticalc.org but health bars? no one's ever done it before...
ah ha i have a solution... i can post it somewhere more privately... [hint: globe icon]
well ive uploaded to a place far away from here... good luck finding it and opening it properly!!!! [check hint for help] so yeah if you do find it just say you did ONLY. BUT don't expose the contents or reveal location to this topic or forum. Let others find it for themselves " [\spoiler] EDITTING::BIG BIG mistake...
Well when i was playing around with the new graphing capabilities i just 'discovered', i decided to make something. and i succeeded. i made working health bars for TI-nspire games!!! hope to release my program soon but i really don't want other people to take my program, change it and say that they made it or invented. I REALLY don't want that to happen. So if this happens please help stop the guilty culprit and either remove the program or credit at least some to me. Hope to continue experimenting
it seems that i might have to post my alpha versions earlier than i planned (suspicious sister telling to mum). so i quickly transferred the documents over to my computer without any suspicion and so i release it now. the release date in the changelog says 13/09/2010, this will be inaccurate. also here is the v0.9.5 nearly offical release of ti-nspire hold 'em too, (this is still busy with developmentand with big ambitions for both games to come in the next few months) exclusive to omnimaga too. i hope to post it on ticalc.org on monday and then that should be it until early october when i return... hope im putting this in good hands. please don't plagarise from these works without at least sending me a pm or on my website jhgenius01.webs.com I spent a lot of time on these games and at least appreciate the quality and the hard work of these games, and appreciate the results....
it is really annoying that everytime i run the emulator in ti-84+ mode it clears all the ram!!! any solution? also there were some other problems generally improvements for the emulator are needed and they havent been posted on unitedti since july!!!
