The calls won't stop, and it's really bugging me

[martjuh.denB]

i played it for 5 minutes but i really can't follow it
is you press another button by take the call than you get another call
and if i close the program i still get messages with: You received a call!
how can i stop it?

[nick the greek]

I'm gonna try it when I get home and then give feedback. Thanks a lot ryanmiller36

First, thanks alot for uploading it to another site.

Opinion:
Pro's:
- Seriously great job for your first coding program
- Great example of what we can expect

Con's:
- If you press Take Call at anytime you just get a call, no caller needed.
- If you take a call, then ask for the location, but forgot what the call is and click on "what is your emergency?" again, you just get a different call. (BUG)
- Too easy
- Quite a few spelling mistakes (I'd love to help you out with that)
- Keep getting the message "You received a call" even though the program is shut down (BUG)


Loads of respect to you though

Thanks for uploading the pictures, I'm downloading it right now. It looks great.

I was getting that to but press ctrl alt delete and then go to your task manager. Press the processes tag and look for dispatching and press end process and that will end that problem.

i looked at the same but i can't find something with the description Dispatcher
what is the .exe?

edit:
found the dispatcher in taskmanager
and i found 2!
that's the reason why i got the whole time 2 calls at the time

Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback and bug testing. I figured out how to fix the 2 bugs listed. including the one where the messages keep popping up.

I'm not really motivated right now though because my little dog was hit by a car this morning. ;(

Look for Beta version 2.0 this week

Aww, sorry about your dog. You can take as much time as you need to get 2.0 out.

Is he/she alright? Did you catch the one who has done it? btw I liked the simulator.

No, she was K.O.I (killed on impact). As for the driver, of course they made no attempt to stop when she was in the road, or after they had already hit her.... If I ever find the driver, oh boy..

Back on topic, I've been trying to get my mind off the incident above me so I've been arrangine and calculating things in my head and I've figured stuff out so this will be a pretty big update.

Just downloaded your program

At first, this is a good start for your first steps, and you definitely should stick to programming, it can be real fun



Some things that seem a little strange:

-When answering a call, I get different answers, everytime I hit a button, even if it's the same call
-The caption of the window should be adjusted "Form2" is not that meaningful
-When I dispatch a unit, the program seems to stop working as long as the sound is played
-When I close all visible windows, the program is not terminated, I can still see it in the task manager


Try to fix those things, and keep improving your program, this is a base you can build on


And sorry about your dog, I have a dog, too, and if someone would hit her and I'd get him, I'd rip his ass apart, that' for sure.

@Ryan Oh man this is terrible

@Tim got to agree on the ripping thing even though I don't have a dog yet

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I fixed the still open bug. And yes, the program does stop working for a minute while it tones out the fire department. It has to be that way for now because if I just play all the sound files seperatly as background audio (there are more than one audio files) it just skips to the last sound. I'm going to put them all into one file evantually, but it's not a top priority as I would like to fix all the bugs and expand the file. I've already found a fix to the different answers and I'm working on them now. I have a few finished. I was also just too lazy to change the names of the forms It's just a beta!!

What is terrible? My program? I know it is but you don't have to be so harsh!

[nick the greek]

Haha no I was talking about the death of your family member Another lol because I like it so much

[ryanmiller36]

oh you meant "That" is terrible, That makes a big difference. I thought I had my first hater!

LEARN SOME GRAMMAR SKILLS! lol j/k

Yeah, if anything it's taught me some lessons.
A) You don't get second chances. My dog liked to run around all over the place and I heard my dad clapping his hands and calling her name. I should have went out to help him...

B)Just mainly, it's a part of life. If I can't handle the death of my dog I had for 2 years, how am I going to take the death of my mom, or my dad...

I still get teary eyes when I'm talking about it, like right now, but I'm trying to treat it as Día de los Muertos (Day of the dead in Mexico) I'm trying to be happy I had her, not be sad because she's dead. Thanks for the support guys.

[Multibullets]

Sorry for your dog ryan, I'm sure she's licking your face right now, only as a ghost then
I agree you should think positive but you should also respect your tears, to be honest, I respect people that cry alot more than people that never show any tears.
I myself, when my dog died (Whom I was really close to), did the same as you. I never talked about it to anyone though and eventually ended up depressed, had to look for professional help. I just hope you really try to give your tears some freedom and talk about it to other people, so you won't end up like me. Actually if you do give your tears some space and talk about it, you learn how to handle sad stuff, sorry for sounding like a frcking jerk giving you stupid advice, I just don't want you to end up the same as I did.

One little sugesttion, instead of haveing to send the wole station, you should click the station and then choose which units. Because I would not waste a Ladder on an injuried person, and would not send a medic to a fire alarm. But great job for your first try, keep up the great work.
