    Blinking LEDs

    Its pretty easy with a PIC microcontroller. You can get them that are reprogrammable in case you make a mistake. You need put 5 volts on the supply lines so might need a regulator from a 9V battery and will need a resistor per LED and the chip of course but thats it. You could flash up to 4 or...

    Iport a 4E character into a VTT?

    If you can export an image of the sheet from the app then you can almost surely import that image into a VTT. It wont have all the macros etc and thats unlikely to change from any VTT as you say from the reasoning that to use the macros for the attacks and damage would be an infringement. I...

    Video file that chages screen settings when played???

    Yeah VLC is great and I would bar the use of Windows Media Player. Of all the bits of windows its by far the worst bit of it. Worse than even IE. Oh and while I rant ;) WMV and WMA are the devil too since you can embed more than audio and video into them. Get shot of them all and use a decent...

    Internet Page Load Help

    Over the last few weeks theres been a lot of problems with DNS and site addresses going into no mans land. What I expect is happening is that your router (which does the DHCP - dynamic host control protocol) is setting up your network DNS gateway addresses and it gets these from either a)...

    Ahahahaha. . . um, haha? :/

    Yeah, just so that everyone knows (cos lets face it, this sort of thing should not be hidden) this is about Amazon, DRM, Kindle eBook readers and legit paid up users of said device getting the shaft.

    Online dice roller?

    If your all on windows (2k, XP thru to Vista) then you can try my dice roller. Its a self contained app where you all join up and log in - i.e. not web page based. It shows 3D dice rolling, does macros, does the expression parsing like (3d6+8)*2+1d4 and shares dice rolls instantly. Has options...

    Gears of War 2 - HORDE MODE

    Ahh I see the problem now. I just play with one mate of mine. He has completed all 50 by himself so he is pretty good at it but I agree that you all need to be in one place and all working together. Two is better I think cos you have the option of reviving your team mate when a stray boomer gets...

    Gears of War 2 - HORDE MODE

    Hoard mode is awesome. I play with my mate so its not often I look for players so cant help there - sorry. You gotta find that place in the map thats defensable and maybe use the shield + pistol for some of the time.

    A new dungeon map every day (throughout May)

    Scripting Hi Kris, these maps are great. I am a regular poster on the Cartographers Guild :: Homepage and some of us experimented with map scripting. A chap RobA has written a script which takes the maps a lot like what you produce from the vector app and automatically turns them into the maps...

    Forked Thread: PS3 v. X-Box 360 - How Loud is Too Loud?"

    I bought an Elite about year and half ago - god knows what type it is and its not quiet with the CD running but its pretty quiet - not silent - but not at all loud. So I am glad its not just me. If you install the game to the HDD then its sat there about as quiet as my PC. I have mine on a small...

    Which virtual tabletop do you use?

    Hi, Dev of ViewingDale here - if you have any Q's for that then drop me a line. I think each have their pros and cons depending on what is the most important feature for you. If playing as a battle mat then big map ability is a must. Some people like the PC doing all the rolling and...

    A Quick Question on RAM and 32-bit OS

    Out of the 4Gb some of the memory is used by the kernel and the rest by user processes. By default windows (at least used to) allocate memory mappings to kernel above the 2Gb and User below the 2Gb so that if you had a lot of memory then you only got to see 2Gb of it. Then they changed it a bit...

Theres a world and a region within that world which was divided up into tiles and we each mapped a tile. Theres many cities on many of the tiles that have been mapped also. Most of the...

    Forked Thread: PS3 v. X-Box 360 - How Loud is Too Loud?"

    I would agree but Bungie reckons that their Halo3 loads slower when saved to HDD and recommends not to do it ! Their comment is that the game takes stuff from both HDD and disk at the same time. I think the current level of the game was taken from the disk and saved it to the HDD in a temp area...

    Forked Thread: PS3 v. X-Box 360 - How Loud is Too Loud?"

    Said before say again - CD/DVD drive on 360 loud, DL game to HDD, 360 goes near silent. Nuff said.
