THough I gota be honest, timnes has swiftly changed and the golden age of rm2k/3 is coming to a dead stop. Could you somehow by any possibility, add a new direction for this, I mean keep all the rm2k/3 compatibilities but add more to make it a more flexible game maker. Also, I've viewed your post on GW about recruiting spriters. What dimensions do you nedd these resources to be and I might conjure some materials and see if I could get hired.

Thanks for catching that! I've updated the installer, and it should work now. (I hope.) And you shouldn't need FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll afterall, unless you're actually debugging the source code. That got included by mistake, and I've fixed it. Oops! Thanks for catching that! I’ve updated the installer, and it should work now. (I hope.)

I managed to find FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll online but I cannot find dsnap140.bpl. There might be other files missing. There are some files missing from the installer.

]]> Comment on Apparently I’m a Delphi guru. by Jim McKeeth http://turbu-rpg.com/114/apparently-im-a-delphi-guru/comment-page-1#comment-236 Jim McKeeth Mon, 16 Mar 2009 23:42:18 +0000 http://turbu-rpg.com/?p=114#comment-236 I'll let you in on a little secret I have discovered. When it comes to being considered a "guru" there are three things involved: 1) In depth and broad knowledge about a subject matter 2) Ability to articulate what you know to others in an understandable way 3) The willingness to share what you know with others Nothing too surprising there, but the interesting part is the importance of each aspect. It is in the REVERSE of the order I listed here. If you never share what you know then it makes no difference how much you know. The more people you share what you know with, the more people who will consider you a guru. For example if you only show your cat your mad programming skills then you won't go very far in being considered a guru, but if you start participating in books, blogs, articles, speaking at conferences, as an expert for news interviews, and in podcasts, then pretty soon you are perceived as an expert even if you know less then the guy who only talks to his cat. One thing that is often missed though is that the teacher always learns the most about the subject they are teaching. So if you are making the effort to share what you know then it improves your knowledge. This in no way should diminish you or anyone else who is speaking at DelphiLive! or otherwise considered a Guru at Large. I am certainly proof of rule. And not to scare you, but the flip side of this is that the more of a recognized guru you become the more people you will find that disagree with you and think you are wrong. Often times they may even be right. I've always heard that if you are not making at least a few people mad you are not doing it right. Good luck at DelphiLive! I look forward to your session.

Obviously, very helpful in making flexible and more complex systems CONS: adds to the worries of the maker. Might be prevented if the option to classify skill s is optional or there is a General list.. PROS: a better way to do things. Obviously, very helpful in making flexible and more complex systems
