April 4th, 2013, 09:40 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> Nope. It actually doesn't matter two hoots what the calling signature actually is. The receiver's signature (i.e. the actual function) is all that actually matters. Sending it as a reference going into the call_hook is straight syntactic sugar. (…)
April 4th, 2013, 04:01 PM Actions…Arantor » @Nao> It's as Dragooon says - it works exactly as expected. A lot of people got bitten by this (but curiously enough not me because I wrote my hookable mods properly in the first place) (…)
April 4th, 2013, 12:42 AM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> Yes, even Escape from Monkey Island. TBH, Tales from Monkey Island only has the LucasArts name on it for licensing reasons, and what gave it 'LucasArtsness' of any kind was the number of ex-LA people at TT. (…)
April 4th, 2013, 12:41 AM Actions…Arantor » @MultiformeIngegno> Eh, this isn't a surprise - though it's still sad. LucasFilm Games, later LucasArts Entertainment Co. stopped being what made them *them* back in the 1990s. I think everything after Grim Fandango was a mess. (…)

April 3rd, 2013, 04:30 PM Actions…Arantor » @Arantor> For the record this is a forum I host and one I don't manage as such (though I find I need to clean house because of the performance suckage) (…)
April 3rd, 2013, 04:29 PM Actions…Arantor » I knew SMF 1.1.x's ban system was jacked but it shouldn't take 4 minutes to remove a ban - on a VPS. Mind you there are somehow 140 pages of bans... (…)

April 3rd, 2013, 01:02 AM Actions…Arantor » Wait, how did it get to midnight already?
April 2nd, 2013, 07:23 PM Actions…Arantor » @Dragooon> Heh. Well, it's referencing GeoCities, the place where anyone could design pages... the problem with doing so is that most people made vomitorious designs like that one referenced. Because it was 'cool' (…)

April 1st, 2013, 03:41 PM Actions…Arantor » Disemvowelling is funny.
April 1st, 2013, 01:51 PM Actions…Arantor » @agent47> Sure it was... it just wasn't April 1st where *you* are. The people behind this were largely Runic and Gary... who live in Britain, whereupon it was after midnight when it kicked off. (…)
April 1st, 2013, 12:59 PM Actions…Arantor » @live627> I think you'll find Gary was behind that particular concoction and yes IIRC he is a tween.
April 1st, 2013, 12:39 PM Actions…Arantor » @Dragooon> It's quite legal.
