I''m just wondering what happened to Armageddon and whether people had any more information/news about it. I''ve thought about comet but I think that a flash socket would be easier to implement. Does Armageddon have the same drawbacks as other flash sockets, namely not working over port 80 (so the companies firewall blocks it)? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, this is my first attempt at using Wine. After installing wine I tried to install Worms Armageddon with wine e:/Install/install.exe at first I got a lot of.... fixme:ntdll:FILE_GetNtStatus Converting errno 38 to STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL around 50 lines, then the installer appeared and I installed as on windows except to c:/Team17 rather than program files. I then went looking for the WA.exe file

Hi there, I have an idea for a game I want to build, but it requires Flash as the presentation layer (I''d want to do the back end in Ruby running on Rails.) I have not been able to find any info on the integration of the two, and someone suggested asking here. Any info would be appreciated. Any links to examples would be great too. Thanks - please make sure you respond to me directly

Hi, I'm new to Wine and command lines in general and I'm trying to learn how to use it. To start I installed the demo for Armageddon Empires (a seriously awesome game, check it out) and now I'm trying to run it. When I'm in my Wine program files I can see a folder called Cryptic Comet (makers of Armageddon Empires) but when I try to cd or any other command to get to the Cryptic

Hi all! I've got worms armageddon installed fine, however when i come to run it, it pops up with 'incorrect version of windows, does not support windows NT' or something along those lines.. so i ran winecfg and added the application to run as windows 98.. and then again as windows 95.. ME.. 2000.. and no matter which i change it to, worms still comes up with the windows NT error

Another problem I would like to speack about : tags. Each format appears to create its own tag. TwinVQ and WMA tags are limited but Mp3 has a good tag system (although the "genre" category could be improved). Now ogg develops a new kind of tagging. I imagine converting all my tags with thousand of tracks... real nightmare... Is there an authority or a project to standardiza tags ?

I ran Worms Armageddon using the latest deb package from winehq server and I got the following output: -------------- kovensky@Ubuntu:/media/hda1/wormsarm$ wine wa.exe fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x7fdcae40)->(0x10026,00000011) fixme:ddraw:Main_DirectDraw_SetCooperativeLevel (0x7fdcae40)->(0x10026,00000011)

For my weekend project, I''m going to get form_remote_tag and file_column playing happily together. According to my research, no one has done this yet. If you happen to have tried this, and have some workable code, send me an email. I''d rather not duplicate the effort.

Hi, I want to update an existing row in table "items" where items.id == 10 I tried this: item = Item.new item.f1 = ... item.f2 = ... ... item.id = 10 item.save I got an error Duplicate entry ... for key 10 : INSERT INTO items ...

hello, im playin worms armageddon in opensuse with wine 0.9.44, so this works fine. but in windows i became very familar with my self made keyboard layout. i changed space to num 0 for example. i tried some progs now, like key tweak for windows, this doesnt work due to the missing registry entry, which key tweak uses. autohotkey has problems with finding my keyboard layout (showes me errors in

So someone finally named server-push through HTTP-keepalive "Comet" It''s also been implemented in a very nice Java/Javascript library called DWR. http://ajaxian.com/archives/dwr-20-reverse-ajax Has there been any discussion by "the core" about adding this to Rails 1.2? :) -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part

Just out of curiosity, is there a plan to support Comet (name coined by the dojo guys) w/ prototype? Comet represents persisting an http connection for low latency data operations. It also represents a nice alternative to polling. Jim _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org

Oi. So. Now we have a version of windows that actually has legit uses for wine. Windows 7 can't run horrifyingly outdated 16bit programs(Such as Exile Escape from the Pit) period. Atleast so Ive herd--and tried and seen to seem to be true. Not to mention a multitude of programs that SHOULD run--but just dont like it(Worms Armageddon, for one... though dunno if it works on wine) Also.

hello, i have a worms armageddon cd iso (made with k3b), now i want to mount that for wine, because i cant play a fast game when i allways have to change my cd.

I''ve been scouring the web for suggested Rails defenses against SQL injection, but I haven''t found much on the object creation part. Certainly using attr_protected, etc., is a good way to prevent unwanted fields from being modified on the new object (if you''re passing a hash as creation parameters), but what about escaping the POSTed info before saving? Couldn''t

hi all, i''d like to updates some values on my site in realtime as other users change them. So when one visitor moves a slider the others will see a value updated in realtime. How should i go about this? One thing i can do is use periodically_call_remote to check if values have changed. But i think this will be a bit inefficient as i need to update about 10 times a second.
