i didnt know the question retard! namaste, motherfucker.

ummm, not. you are breaking a fundamental rule of logic. you are assuming, wrongly given the conditional you base your statement on, that the degree is the same in both expressions. works great. try it.... dzDivepool beta edit: it has to do with quadrants as per mwgemini. if x is negative it returns a negative angle. this is not what i want. -(-45 ) + 180 = 225 is what i want. or sumthing. dunno. i fudged around and it works. go figure. cheers namaste, motherfucker.

invent what? streaming video or impartial judging? namaste, motherfucker.

i think i hear a feature request in there....... organized 'E-meets' with the scores tabulated on the website. namaste, motherfucker.

specious. damn. don't ya hate it when you know you know a word but at the same time know that all the drugs your parents did in the sixties has you forgetting? i find myself reaching for that word quite often and not bein able to amemba it. thanks wmw. i think i like it better "skydiving is safer than bein the dead guy in a car wreck", finally an accurate comparison of skydiving and driving. namaste, motherfucker.

uh oh, is it that obvious? is an old programmer trick. ok, it's an old guy trick recycled: if you keep doing a crappy job at doing the dishes and washing the clothes she finally stops asking you to do it! namaste, motherfucker.

yes. but computer don't know how to speak trig this is what i came up with after my trig lecture with mwgemini. rather elegant if i do say so mesef function relativeCoordsToHeading(x,y) { var radians = Math.atan2(x,y); var degrees = (eval(radians))*(180/Math.PI); if (x>0){degrees = 180 - degrees;} else {degrees = -degrees + 180;} return degrees; } namaste, motherfucker.

namaste, motherfucker.

OK, with a sage trig refresher from MWGemini got the diver rotation working the way i want. shift-click on diver and drag away, the diver faces the mouse cursor. i think it's neat. modified the caption code to use a vector relative to diver icon so it stays in position relative to diver when you move diver. and just to give you an idea of where this is all heading, HERE is the first version of the rendering engine. only a few 4 way here but imagine every formation/block known to man for any number of jumpers in a template library that you can use to create blocks/dives, or modify/personalize and add to your private divepool library. still working on the serialization of the diagram so you can save and load. am working with IE's local userData cache so you can have a local working formation library while offline. feedback people, feedback! dzDivepool beta - requires IE6 namaste, motherfucker.

got it thanks to a helpful hint from MWGemini. he says i want the inverse tangent. which make sense. given his nutshell trig refresher and some twiddling got exactly what i needed. FANKYU! i'll have that shot of tequila now. namaste, motherfucker.

The proper way to say it is: Can i have another shot of tequila please? namaste, motherfucker.

i want to get the heading (or angle), in degrees, of an arbitrary point (x,y) relative to 0,0. e.g. skydiver icon at 0,0 and i want it to face the mouse cursor. capisce? and iffn you don't have the answer, please tell me what it is i am asking for in proper terminology so i can inquire elsewhere. FANKYU! namaste, motherfucker.

bearded clam? namaste, motherfucker.

sounds like your shell is screwed. i would like to say there is a trick or program to fix your problem, but reality is that if you don't have anyone nearby with experience enough to track down and clean up the messes that get made in system32, the most expedient and painless way is to backup your data and fdisk it. yup, guys, i said the eff word. i think that makes me old. but first make sure you have run scandisk throrough and defragged to make sure you don't have logical file or physical disk corruption. could be memory. see, could be a lot of things, but can tell you from here. good luck. namaste, motherfucker.

nope. not true. no way to make it true. people survive serious car wrecks every minute of every day. in skydiving the threshold between minor injury and sheer destruction is minute. in other words, is a relative matter of severity. to make your analogy valid you would have to skydive as much as you drive, with as many idiots in the air and in landing patterns as you share the road with. then the disparity becomes even more apparent. skydiving is not safer than driving on the road. skydiving is not safer than almost anything a person could reasonably be expected to volunteer to do. (not counting crazy shit like fighting fires and working on a fishing boat in the bering straight) skydiving is a life-threatening pursuit with the option to mitigate the danger with vigilance, diligence and education. and you should wear sunscreen. trust me on the sunscreen. sky namaste, motherfucker.

well, we have two choices. write a windows application that everybody has to download and install... everytime there is an update, one that i will have to support on a case by case basis or watch the project die before it can get started... or..... deploy in a browser that is readily available and feature rich, offering the capability of deploying an always up-to-date rich client to the desktop. I choose the latter. i know there are a lot of people that have one issue or another with MS, IE, or whatever. that's all soup to me. IE lets me deploy user friendly n-tier applications with minimal hassles. my suggestion to people that prefer mozilla and opera etc is to use those browsers to surf the web. it may be safer for you. but when using the applications i am developing, you will need to use the client it is written for, IE. there is no malicious code anywhere on my sites. it is all open for review. if i was getting paid to write i would not mind writing 500+ lines of extra code for crossbrowser compatibility for every 10 lines i write against IE. but im not. im doing it because i like you. well, some of you and i want to give back. love shouldnt be painful, or tedious.lol. all that said. i understand you point. unfortunately MS bought and paid for browser supremecy fair and square almost 10 years ago. they killed netscape. i wept. then i got over it. i am a programmer not an evangelist. thanks for the feedback

you can thank indyz for the sharp eye. was a stooopid oversight on my part. i am going to get the rendering (what you see now) hooked up to a capture and storage module so you can save points as frames with which you can create blocks with as many frames as you like and then save the block for later use, printing etc. thanks guys. namaste, motherfucker.

we use the tools we have, bro. is just the presentation layer. a doodad. things will really start to shine when it is hooked up to the backside. once the app is feature complete then will look at rewiting the gui in flash or getting someone who is current to do it. java?! easier?! send me some of what your smoking! does the page work for you? namaste, motherfucker.

thank you. imagine that. the .htc is referenced in the stylesheet. no stylesheet, no htc, yes errors. good catch. try it now. namaste, motherfucker.

added a screen shot to initial post. seeeee.... works fine for me.. namaste, motherfucker.

interesting. am thinking that it might be av or firewall related. the page uses an .htc file that contains all of the logic for the jumper entity. your reported error indicates to me that this script file is not getting loaded. this is important feedback. thank you. the toy is no good if only i can play with it can some other people try to load the page and feedback please? i will stop at an i-net cafe when i am out and see how it works on another machine. like i said, things always work fine for the programmer and not always so good elsewhere..... namaste, motherfucker.

well, i dont want to die skydiving. aside from animal instinct to live, going in is messy in a lot of ways. it leaves a very wide wake. getting dead skydiving is easy enough, but avoidable. if it were unavoidable i would stop. just my 8 satangs worth.... namaste, motherfucker.

i am developing against .28. try reloading the page, click to add and notice the preload starting at the bottom. wait for it all to finish then try. let me know. it works fine for me, but thats how it always is... lol. r.e. crossbrowser: is a no-go for now. am using some i.e. specific stuff like element behaviours etc to keep the code clean. maybe later. would require a LOT of code to maintain. taking the path of least resistance in these early stages. namaste, motherfucker.

that's a cool page. i plan to take it a step farther. i am planning to provide the same capabilities you see on that page augmented by a graphical display of the formations/blocks/pools AND the ability to create your own formations/blocks/transitions graphically via drag-n-drop and store them for later use if desired. is gonna be cool, just ask me namaste, motherfucker.

i walk with a limp. no jumping in thailand namaste, motherfucker.
