More Faith in the Government, Please

So, I remember when the bail out happened a lot of people were angry we were just "bailing out" these companies and letting them off the hook. However, these people chose to ignore the fact that the government had *always* planned on getting this money back.

Well ignore this: $8 billion dollar profit from Citibank. This, after some of the banks had paid their bail out money back already. Maybe we should do this more often, eh, nevermind.

Trying to get back….

Banned Story…what it is/how to use.

gpgorbosjr — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:46:37 +0000

A camper asked me to email him directions on how to get a program called Banned Story running on his PC. I decided I would post them up on here, as well as how to properly use it.

What is Banned Story?

Banned Story is a character creation tool for an MMORPG called "Maple Story". However, at camp, we utilize it as a tool for creating custom characters for our own Game Maker created video games.

How do I get it?

Step 1: Install Adobe Air.

Adobe Air (Adobe Integrated Runtime) is a program that allows internet applications to be used offline, and is necessary for installing Banned Story. Just click on the following link, and install the application.

http://get.adobe.com/air/

Step 2: Register at mapleanime.com.

To download the program you need to be registered for the site. So far they haven't spammed me so it doesn't seem to be that big a deal.

Step 3: Download/Install Banned Story

Once logged in to mapleanime.com, go to the following link, and scroll down to "Continue to download Banned Story". Click on that, and download/install.

Once you have it: Saving Sprites

Once you've installed the program, here is the easiest way to use your sprites in Game Maker.

Go to File>Save Image. Check the box "specific layer" and choose character layer. Turn off transparency, and make sure you are saving it as a PNG. Use the "white background".

Important: If you have white in your character, in Game Maker the white will be taken out because you have used a white background. An easy way to fix this is to add a color layer in Banned Story with a color that you haven't used in your character, then choose "nearest color" instead of "white".

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Blog is back!

gpgorbosjr — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 14:43:11 +0000

Hello world. The blog is back up and ready to go!

For those of you who hadn't seen it before I like to use the blog to talk about stuff that's going on in my life as far as school work and other projects, as well as what is going on in the technological/political sphere. I realize most people probably aren't interested, but I think its cool to have a place on the web. Everyone should.

So stay tuned for some updates. I'm also hoping to put up some of the stuff I had from before.
