  1. Neither do I, same with binary. It was merely a note of caution and what is expected regarding such things.
  2. Cool man! Hey, binary has a point about the .exe -- having something like that on a repo like GitHub where someone can compile it for themselves would go a long way to showing that this executable is safe. Including a checksum can help, too, so that users know they have received the exact and correct file, that it had not been altered in the transfer, etc. Whether it's non-compressed and non-obfuscated, it's still an executable that folks are expected to run directly, no? And the contents cannot be reviewed, being a compiled executable, correct? It may seem like extra work, trust me I've been there, but exposing everything is the best way to go with user made executables, preferably with a way for users to not use your included exe but compile it for themselves and use that, and also be able to compare such with the one distributed. Like binary said, it's nothing against you at all, these things have come up before in the history of VG and it's nothing against the person - it's about best standards and practices regarding safety and security of our amateur programming works we share with other gamers. EDIT: please pardon me if I have misunderstood what you meant about AHK as I'm not familiar with it, and if using "any archive manager" can allow someone to review the contents or lines of instructions contained in that exe. I read your post, though again, I don't do AHK and would love clarification regarding the .exe

  4. Again, I'm not a fan of the non-standard resolutions including the ultra-wides. I still have desires to make gaming videos, maybe even stream, and so personally, I'd want something that will allow for translation to all the other 16:9 (or so) resolution ratios. If I played a game on such a wide resolution, recording gameplay, when viewed on a standard non-ultra wide, there would be those large black letterbox bars or the size would be stretched and that's even worse. Surely is a beast of a monitor, with a beast of a price, too - IMHO the sweet spot for gaming monitors is around $350-500 and 24-32" with at least 144Hz refresh, and preferably G-Sync (cuz I know we both do nVidia GFX cards). TN vs IPS vs any other display technology aside, those are the numbers I personally look for when considering gaming monitors with good performance per price value. Never done the research, tho - but there can be issues with *some* games if they do not support such a wide resolution, but luckily this is a rare issue... that being said, I'm a mainstream guy so I go for mainstream tech usually, talking standard 1080p resolution (my current gaming monitor) and maybe up to 1440p (standard, not ultra-wide). 4K is pretty expensive to run at high FPS, averages would likely be below 50FPS with my current setup, and likely will be for another 5 years - so 2K or 1440p are the only options I view as "the next step up" from 1080p Gaming Monitors, and either the same 144Hz (or higher). Just my thoughts, I know we may have different goals or reasoning for what we want. I've tried wide monitors, was not much of a fan, and I've tried triple monitors and didn't like the non-uniform transformations when moving on the side panels, they never link up correctly or they skew the image and it just looks dumb to me.
  5. There are a lot of varying options between those, including the ultra-wides... Personally, I'm not a fan of the non-standard resolutions like the wide and curved options, so IMHO, if I was buying one of those 5 options, my money would go to the LG IPS Gaming Monitor - I've actually had my eyes on this one before, but $400 is beyond the old budget and my current Gaming Monitor is still going strong day after day. It may be 'only' 27 inches, but that's plenty big enough. (Number 2 is what I'd get) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LLD2QXJ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_9?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 I would definitely stay away from #3 and #5, since I don't consider 75-100Hz in the "gaming monitor" category, even if it says so in the name - fancy wide monitors don't impress me as much as high refresh and therefore potentially higher than 100FPS (if game settings/graphics card power allow it).
  6. Fixed. Thanks for the report. Thought I got them all this morning, and I missed a couple.
  7. Well, then you have a work-around at least. This is definitely region based, though you have not mentioned what web browser you are using, I wonder if a different browser would have different behavior. No worries, though - if you can paste a link here and get an embed, that is all that matters.
  8. Test: Embedded same YT clip (pasting exact link from above) @=VG= Fastjack you need a VPN, brother! Germany wants to be a nanny state regarding YT embeds, it seems.
  9. No, this was my fault - sorry guys. Somehow the 'download attachments' permissions were wiped from the VG Clan Member group(s). I've reviewed all permissions as well as these, and everything should be good now. Again, following this major website update and overhaul, if there are any issues please just contact me.
  10. I'm gonna redo this at some point, when I can create a small frame for the rotary encoders with a single bundle of wires coming out, and going to another small unit inline on the cord to hold the Arduino. This will keep the profile of the on-screen unit as small as it can be. Running the cord out at a "T" intersection like that using a magnetic adapter can cause it to disconnect if the keyboard gets pushed into it, so I'll be revisiting this project sometime this year.
  11. Love the garden pic on your profile!  I've been growing for around 15 years, indoors and 'drain-to-waste' hydroponics.  Last spring my crop went to hell when aphids invaded and evaded entire battalions of ladybugs I released to eat them.  One plant was completely ignored by the ladybugs, it was very frustrating.  Haven't fired up the grow room for a crop since, but I better get started soon cuz it's $150 an oz. at the shops, and lower quality that my grows.

    Last best grow was Spring 2019 - pics if you're interested:  https://imgur.com/gallery/K6UIMSP

  12. Welcome to @=AMPHETAMINE=, @Sciddles, and @GRNANDGLD to the VG Army! Your website groups have been adjusted, GRNANDGLD has been a PR Admin for some time, so is part of the 'Officers' group, and the others to the 'Enlisted' group. We are of course still getting this all established and set up, so SOP's are still in the works, including regular VG Army Club events for fun and/or training, as well as some decent milestones for Club members to reach to earn 'Wings' from 2nd Lt. through Captain. Ideas, feedback, and notes are always appreciated!
  13. Got the internet back ... at the end of the day. I can definitely do this.. I'm really surprised you didn't need to use a code block there, but I get that you were trying to highlight stuff with colors, etc. Yea, no worries on the color, font size, etc., I'll just toss in IPS vars for our current theme, so they'll adjust as needed on various platforms and it will be all matchy-matchy. (going to bed now, tho .. will tackle this tomorrow)
  14. Okay - now I can see exactly what the issue is, and it makes sense, too. It seems that I did not add in the specific keypress variable for that command, where it was formerly (incorrect) "Check My Six", and I added the correct phrasing to that for "Clear My Six" but not it's keypress counterpart (7) I've patched this up, and pushed it out for all users. Just follow the prompt next time you restart VoiceAttack and load AVCS, and it will apply. I will get the next full profile update released before too long, including the fix for handling international decimal separators, and other fixes/improvements. As always, I really appreciate everyone's patience and support through these beta test rounds... I know they are long, and I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but I'm just one guy and it's a passion project.
  15. Changed Severity / Status to Resolved (live update pushed to all users) Changed Issue to --GENERAL VoiceAttack / AVCS ISSUES -- Changed Profile Version to 1.3.92 Changed VoiceAttack Version to 1.8.7
  16. It's an IPS system... I am thinking that their system is perhaps not optimized for all browsers, because I don't get that behavior in Firefox, but I do also get it myself in Chrome, so I see exactly what you mean. I'll knock around and see what I can learn, and will get back to you and everyone with what I find out (if anything).
  17. Fixed. Sorry about that... Did a thousand things, was bound to miss one or two.... The chatbox is a 'plugin' with it's own permission sets, and I had neglected to fix them for the new website groups system. All good now! (Will go over everything with a fine tooth comb early next week, every settings screen, every tab, every sub-menu, just to check over my work so we're solid for another several years)
  18. I just logged in and verified that it's online and running fine. Day 13. Our server is located in Kansas USA, you can try a ping test to some server in that state to see if you have a solid connection, but you'll not be able to ping our BMS server so you'll have to find anything else to use for the test. We don't often have issues with folks connecting from so close. The server is running BMS 4.35.0 (x64) Build 22548 - just FYI in case you have a version mismatch. Only thing I'd recommend is to simply try again. Ensure your settings are matching this image -- RSVP if you still can't get in, and we'll do what we can to try to help:
  19. This one is rather specific, never heard it before. Map rotation is totally mixed all the time, and the vote and setnext bugs have been worked out. Our uptime is so good that we have to manually restart sometimes cuz it doesn't like being run for 72 hours without a crash or restart. This one is so unique that it's gonna have to get reported to the R-DEV's after we can get a good reproduction method to demonstrate it. If it ever does have those old issues of crashing from a map change, just post up and we will get it sorted somehow. SO many maps and layers fixed since 1.6 dropped last spring, it's way more stable now.

  21. Still have a few minor bugs, but most everything is sorted. You'll notice one or two images not displaying, but luckily it's less than 1% of them. Also, performance may be spotty, as pages or elements continue to load slower than normal, popping into view or having incorrect width and then popping to the correct width. Any page or post with anything intensive will also be noticeably slow, such as an embedded video or feed, or larger image. This will all be sorted soon! With huge thanks to SolarFlame, we're fairly sure we found the issue, just a matter of hunting the source, then dragging it out behind the woodshed and burying it. Again, thank you all for your patience while we make the VG Home Base into something that can stand for another ten plus years!
  22. Did you know you can customize your personal look when you visit VETERANS-GAMING.COM? Click the very top right "Customizer" button where you can turn off effects if you're not a fan of falling confetti during holiday months, or if you want to tailor the header background to your type of gameplay. You can even flip the chatbox sidebar to the left side, like one of the first VG Website versions from almost ten years ago!
  23. I don't know anything about GeForce video and all that stuff, and I don't know if there's some easy guide out there... But I do know this: And you just need to follow a few basic steps to enable viewing hidden files and folders on your computer: https://www.techjunkie.com/show-hidden-files-windows-10/
  24. Very cool! Just know there is so much work to do and it's only Monday. My goal is to have everything in place and working by next week -- and all of that is dependent on SolarFlame's fight to get the systems which power this all to their fully functional state. (Again, this is why I ask that people don't go crazy just yet and open the flood gates of content in case we have to roll back the website to a snapshot). There will be all sorts of posts and info about these new things, how to use them, and before we get to that we are still fine tuning. Last night I thought the Globe-Wings was too much for VG Clan Members group, so started work on a ribbon instead, so when BLuD contacted me to say the same thing, I was already ready to replace it - so together we are deciding on what works and what doesn't and that takes just a little time. Might still change that logo for the app store if we make something even cooler, ya never know... Had to get some things out and some are 'place holders'. If something sucks, let us know and we'll see if we can make it better. Everything goes on "the list" to be addressed in time.
