@Ami603

I'll see what I can do when I get home later today, again thanks for your time!

and ZeroG for sharing his knowledge!

@xeron

Nice reply but I say break out the straw and wooden post and spark a fire! LOL

@clusteruk

Well, personally I'm probably not one of the majority here when I say I do not consider these other OS flavours as AMIGA... they are not, they might be imitations but I'm not flattered...

So that probably answers your question from just my point of view...

The other reason which is probably more PC is the fact that this board does not want to become like the rest of the existing boards out there which have turned into some bloody melting pot and placing freedom of speech above proper protocol...

Go to an AROS site or a Linux site whatever and have a happy life

If this site suddenly started to allow too much open forum I'd eventually stop posting... I've kind of stopped in many ways already... I'm not interested in a community but a tight Amiga mentality

Isn't it ironic that the likes of me, an Amiga User from 1986 and not owned or used anything else but an Amiga doesn't feel comfortable on a supposedly PRO Amiga environment?

You might try and say move with the times and I say to you get out of my past

In the end I might have to run my own board, there might not be many members but I can promise you there will be ORDER! heh

@Ami603

That is Perfect Ami603!

But small problem...

800 Base
Random 180
12 level or rank...

should equal 21480 like in my above post... in yours it's 20680

please check the code?

sorry but it looks awesome! heh

edit:

oh I see what's happened... you just haven't added in the base amount (lvl 1 800 amount... the calculator adds lvl2 to lvl12 though)... I can live with that...

THANKS!!!!!

The picture etc is just the crowning cosmetics

@angelheart

I will look at your work Angelheart, thank you for all your hard work and consideration!

@Ami603

I'm impressed by the effort I will certainly check it out when I get home from work!

Thanks very much!

@angelheart

I must say that that looks very complete trouble is I'm not sure I can compile SDL language?

I thought of another way to calculate it too... since it increases the same amount each time... you could do this...

12 x 800 = 9600

then... to get from level 2 to level 12 it would be

1 + 2 +3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 =

66 x 180 = 11880

9600 + 11880 = 21480

Maybe this example would be easier to code?

Thanks for any interest

@ZeroG

Thats great but I think I'd need to edit the c code then recompile it then execute it for the answer?

I was thinking more of the program prompts you for a base rate then prompts you for a random value then prompts you for a rank...

THEN it calculates this and spits out the total exp value

The 800 120 and 12 were off the top of my head to illustrate the logic

I do like the look of the code though!

Thanks!

@all

Ya'll mad as each other

You are all basically talking about what you want to talk about and colinw is obsessed with my need to find a backup solution?????????????

I won't be returning to this thread nor ask for help in this manner again... LOL

In 1986 when I first started using the Amiga I was the help... so it is with great excitement that I once again return to this total simplicity... I will solve this myself...

@TSK

Laugh... That's exactly what I'm going to do... for the moment anyway...

@Framiga

That had crossed my mind but I might wait till the author happen by... unless his filesystem completely removes the headers of the files and only relies on moving the actual file into the .recycle dir there should be a way to detect them...

Which moves me to another idea... can we perhaps have 2 different types of recycle dir? ie the one I envision only remembers the last delete operation (I'm not sure if it can be tracked like this because obviously you'd want to include ALL of the files in the last delete)... this way it will never get clogged up... just a thought... heh

Hmmm, perhaps we don't even have to change JXFileSystem... we have to change DirOpus... ie prior to a delete operation it cleans the .recycle dir... so if you deleted 5 times only the last files in the 5th delete would be in the .recycle dir...

I'm the sure the obvious solution would be to fix the congestion and SLOW down in a fragmented .recycle dir... but perhaps that isn't possible...

Wasn't sure where to post this but hey, we want to compile it for AOS4.x

Been playing through FFXIII on the 360 for quite a while now and it's dawned on me that a program for calculating weapon upgrades would be handy...

Here is the criteria of the program

You start off with a base amount which also is the exp needed to get to level 1...

say 800

once you hit level 1 the exp to get to level 2 is level 1 + a random amount

The random amount could be 180 for example... so you need 800 + 180 to get to level 2... 980...

and the process continues to compound... to get to level 3 it would be 980 + 180... etc etc etc....

Lets call each level a rank... upto rank 99 would be enough...

The program would prompt us for a base amount then a random amount and then a rank... and add it all together...

So logic would follow like this

800
180
12 <-- 12 levels or ranks in this calculation...

The final figure would be (let me get the calculator lol)

800
980
1160
1340
1520
1700
1880
2060
2240
2420
2600
2780

equals = 21480

And that's all I'd want the program to do... cough that figure up... for those that do play FFXIII and are wondering about upgrading when a item comes in at level 9 for example... no worries, you simply use the next level as the base level and remove 10 levels from your rank input...

Anyway, does anyone understand ok? so is anyone up to the task? If you feel generous you could release the code so I might be able to tweak it later.

Thanks for any considerations...

ps... just for final notes... I don't think you'll need more than 99 ranks... most I've seen so far is 91... and I wouldn't think we'd need over 9,999,999. final output... possibly even 999,999 but I don't want to take the chance lol

@colinw

LOL

What the hell is wrong with you people, if you don't know you don't know you don't have to go down your own warped path giving opinions about prevention...

Like I said I had an accident and I'm not even that worried about it... but instead of doing what I normally do and sort it out myself I thought I'd drop a line out there...

I think some of you like talking just for the hell of it... I simply want to know if anyone has struck this and if they managed to reverse the process...

Please colinw, stay out of any of my future threads...

@tonyw

nod, you don't say... good for a bloody laugh though...

@Ricossa

Ummm, not if your drives are formatted with the NORECYCLED as stated in the original post

I choose to live without this convienence simply because I found having this directory slows (and in some cases severely) deleting and moving and copying operations... many times I'd have to enter the actual hidden directory and delete its contents just so the filesystem would carry on...

Never understood why it happened (related to rollover max perhaps?) and simply worked around it...

It doesn't look good I'll probably have to do all the hardwork myself when I have time... I won't be touching DH6 in the meantime anyway... it was full of storage at the time and I was just beginning to relocate its files...

@colinw

Ah, you are addressing my backup choices? great, just what I wanted to hear LOL

Even though of course 4.4 gigs isn't a lot, at least if you lose one DVD you lose part of your media... a 500 gig back up can still die eventually... If I went that way I'd need two of these... which incidently isn't a stupid idea anyway...

I have more than 500 gigs on DVDs... yes I know about 1T plus options...

Anyway, lets just please try and recover this directory...

to elaborate

the full path to the deleted dir would be

DH6:Other/yip2

I was in a hurry and just finished transferring the files in yip to one of my SATA partitions to burn to a DVD, I decided to click up a directory select yip (which was empty) and delete it... I accidently selected yip2 below it as well...

The other annoying thing is, I can't recall what was in yip2... heh

Greetings all...

I think in one post some time again I said if you need to undelete something you shouldn't be using a computer... LOL well I still maintain that but it appears even if you're experienced you can still make errors with slight of hand...

Now, because I'm so experienced I disabled the sanity check in DirOp after selecting something to delete LOL

What has happened is I accidently left my finger on the left mouse button and select 2 directories instead of 1... and in doing so have err deleted 25 gigs of other material...

Its Sunday here and I've got a busy day ahead of me and I haven't got time to trial and error software etc...

and yes you've guessed it, I format with NORECYCLED as an option...

PartitionWizard reports on 6 (DH6:)

yes it is a card that allows me to run my older ide drives via the pci in the sam flex from my old AmigaOne and yes, it is a whole drive not partitioned...

is there a SFSundelete path? I just don't have time today and I'm willing to listen to ideas but I'd like to hear if someone has actually gone through this?

cheers!

I'm off to tidy up now... I was in process of backing up all my partitions to DVD... I've burnt 25 so far... so you can imagine the irony here... bugger it all...

Guess I'll have to get one...

need one of each machine afterall... lol

@Helgis

god darn it Helgis

why do you have to air so many aspects of anything that's on your mind...

I will probably end up buying 2 X1000s... Do I look worried about anything?

Slayer finishes grumbling and wonders off back to his peaceful cave

@Antique

I dunno, I have SAM then FLEX and happy to add to the family...

btw, relating to this memory thing... not too concerned about what it could possibly mean but I elimated the SWAP partition entirely after I got the FLEX... I do not consider virtual memory a solution...

Give me the ability to install 4 to 8 gigs of real memory anyday...

@mz3540

Although I own 3 A1000s I've never turned them on... I preferred the B2000 or up until I got SAMs the PPC A4000 or similair...

I brought my first Amiga in 1986... I won't tell you how many systems I still own lol
