VGMaps Social Board / RE: "Weather Taskbars"

« on: July 07, 2006, 02:14:01 am »

Well, does anyone here remember "The Great Storm Of 1987" which hit most of the South/South East of England? If you do, you may, vaguely remember this quote: "Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way? well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't."

That was Michael Fish who said that (and it turned out he was referring to California or something, and NOT the 'Great Storm of 1987', and technically it wasn't a "Hurricane" but a "Tropical Windstorm").

That should ring a few bells as to who Michael Fish is. Oh, and he's 62 years old, and was born on the 27th April 1944.

No one answered by question:

Michael Fish made his last weather report in about August 2004, and retired then, right? So, how come he's been doing weather reports for the last 3 days as far as I know, nearly 2 years after "retirement"?

Speaking of 'The Weather', Michael Fish made his last weather report in about August 2004, and retired then, right? So, how come he's been doing weather reports for the last 3 days as far as I know, nearly 2 years after "retirement"?

So, basically "Archived" is like an "Automatically closed because no one posted for longer than the time limit" thing?

The last 'Archived' topic I remember, not that it's that important (you may have already opened this) was this one:

https://www.vgmaps.com/forums/index.php?topic=78

It's the one where it shows a video of some person dissing the DS, and praising the PSP, and then another video, where the same person is dissing the PSP and praising the DS. You know what I mean, beacuse, you started the topic, Jon.

(Topic) as in "This topic has been Archived. No more messages may be posted in it" and "This topic has been Closed. No more messages may be posted in it". (I've probably got those wrong, but, you know what I mean).

I've already been on that, but I wanted to have a 'Weather' icon on the taskbar. For example, a small icon representing the weather (a sun for "sunny", black cloud for "rainy/thundery", and next to it, the current temperature (in celsius/centigrade).

I tried downloading DesktopX Widgets from www.wincustomize.org, but every time I tried to change the location, nothing happened. I downloaded a 'Weather Taskbar', but it had at least 1,000 cities, but not one single English city was on there. The closest city to England that was on there was probably Dublin, Ireland.

Does anyone know where I can get a 'Weather Taskbar' (you know, an icon in the task bar showing the current temperature), that shows the temperature of specifically Surrey, England? Or even more specifically, Oxted in Surrey, England?

Map Requests / RE: Mario, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi maps

« on: June 23, 2006, 01:19:38 am »

I know the topic title said "Mario, Yoshi and Donkey Kong Maps". I was too lazy to start a new topic, so I thought that while I was posting in a request topic, I'd list some of my games, including non-Mario-related maps.

@dbarrier54 (when/if you are unsuspended or if you're not banned): Actually, I didn't miss those maps. I just replaced them with:

| | |

V V V

Also, keep in mind that, from what I've learnt, it would take weeks just to do a level from DK64. Infact, most of those maps would take more time to do one each than what you ask for them to be done altogether.

Finally, you only need to ask ONCE. (Infact, let me give you a bit of advice. Try using the question mark, and ASKING.) You don't need to keep demanding the same maps every time you post.



Now, a few things about your map requests:

When you say 'Yoshi's Island (N64)', don't you mean 'Yoshi's Story (N64)'?



While I'm at it, I may as well list the games I'd like to see a few (not necessarily ALL) maps from:

Donkey Kong Country (SNES)

Donkey Kong Country (GBA)*

Donkey Kong Country (GBA)**

Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES)

Donkey Kong Country 2 (GBA)*

Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES)*

Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA)*

Yoshi's Island (SNES)

Super Mario 64 (N64)

Yoshi's Story (N64)

Donkey Kong 64 (N64)

Micro Machines '96 (Genesis)

Micro Machines V3/64 (N64/PC/PSOne etc.)

Donkey Kong Land (GB)

Donkey Kong Land 2 (GB)

Donkey Kong Land 3 (GB)

Wario Land (GB)

Wario Land 2 (GB)

Wario Land 3 (GB)

Wario Land 4 (GBA)

Mario Kart DS (NDS)***



* - The World Maps from the GBA are different than the SNES

** - Pacifica

*** - The actual color maps that you see on the bottom screen which you can see items, objects etc).

dbarrier54? Is it REALLY necessary to list the entire levels when you could just say "all the levels"?

If I wanted maps for Donkey Kong Country levels (which I do, actually), I'd say "Can someone do some or all levels from DKC?", not

"DO THESE MAPS NOW:

Jungle Jijinx

Ropey Rampage

Reptile Rumble

Coral Capers

Barrel Cannon Canyon

Winky's Walkway

Mine Cart Carnage

V V V

Oil Drum Alley

Trick Track Trek

Elevator Antics

Poison Pond

Mine Cart Madness

Blackout Basement

Tanked Up Trouble

Manic Mincers

Misty Mine

Loopy Lights

Platform Perils.

Do 3 maps per week starting now. DO THEM NOW!!"

(I wasn't saying "DO THEM NOW!!" I was just quoting the sort of anti-social scumbag that this anti-social scum bag called dbarrier54.

I wonder when his birthday is? Probably 19th June 2006, lol!



But, seriously, I know I'm no mod or admin, and I haven't really got any right to do this but:...

THE MAPPERS AND MEMBERS OF THESE FORUMS ARE HERE TO "DISCUSS" MAPS, AND OTHER THINGS THEY WISH, AND "ASK" FOR MAPS. NOT TELL THEM TO DO 3 MAPS EVERY DAY FOR SUPER MARIO WORLD 2, FOR EXAMPLE. YOU ONLY NEED TO MAKE ONE POST SAYING "I WANT SUPER MARIO WORLD 2 MAPS", AND LEAVE IT AT THAT. STOP F***ING ORDERING PEOPLE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT. INFACT, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO BACK TO YOUR OWN UNIVERSE!!

It says (10): Provisional, now, whatever that means, just so you know.



Oh, also, how come when I go to the board index, this weird message replaces the boards:



Notice: SQL Query error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') GROUP BY `b`.`board_id` ORDER BY `b`.`board_name` in /home/jonleung/public_html/forums/includes/mysql.class.php on line 26

I can still access the boards by going to the Board Manager, but it's rather annoying having to do that every time.

How do I activate my account?

Map Requests / RE: Mario, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi maps

think most of the SNES games may be quite hard what with those... parallax background things. And I wouldn't expect anyone to make a decent ripped map of SM64 or DK64. Most likely, an original.

Anyway, I'd like to add:

new Donkey Kong Land GB maps

new Donkey Kong Land 2 GB maps

new Donkey Kong Land 3 GB maps

more Super Mario Land 3 (Wario Land) GB maps

new Wario Land 2 GB/GBC maps

new Wario Land 3 GBC maps

new Wario Land 4 GBA maps

new Donkey Kong Country GBA World maps

new Donkey Kong Country 2 GBA World maps

new Donkey Kong Country 3 GBA World maps (including Pacifica)

a map of Necky's Nutmare from Donkey Kong Country GBC



Those and the ones in the first post I'd like to see most... oh, and possibly some more ripped Mario Kart maps (64, Double Dash, Super Circuit, or DS).

When I say, DS, I mean the actual coloured maps (the map on the game which actually shows where items are, etc.) which, if any one even dared to complete pixel by pixel, would take.... ages, I know, but, well, some one might do one.



Oh, and dbarrier54, I don't think ordering people to 'do the maps, now!!' will get them fulfilled any quicker, if not at all.

Maybe more like 'Can some one do these?'. Things like 'I want you to do these', or 'Do 3 maps a week', telling/ordering people to do them isn't very good.
