The reason why I said that in my previous post is that I have no idea how to get the official screens working. That's why I need step-by-step information on how to get them to work.

This is only the "mechanical" portion of the controller for now. Graphical work, host screens and etc, will be done AFTER I get the clear that this portion works. |

Okay so, from what I have seen, these are the major issues I have to fix. If there's anything else, now's the time to tell me before I go silent for about a two weeks or a month.  I'll likely end up fixing the Database issues by actually making a setup program. (I will also start to institute serial keys/validation at some point as well.) Thanks for all the help with things so far. |

Especially since it's me writing several essays. Pieces of Proof? |

Either DOC or the old HTML Help if I can get it to work. Still learning about these. |

I would use the dedicated form but can't find a way to do it without using my personal email.  One thing I have found is that if you're editing sounds, for some reason when you edit a different question and then come back to a previous one, the wrong answer cue is replaced with the lights down one. None of the other cues do this though. Completely missed this when I made that list of problems... Odd enough it was like one line of text I had to change... and it wasn't even much.  Red is what was changed, Green was what it was changed to.... (Even if you are a non-coder, it should be apparent what I changed... Guess I should ase up off of copy/pasting) |

I have a suggestion for the Ask-the-Expert lifeline. Maybe place a live video feed from a certain source somewhere like how they do it in the original version.

Considering that support for Windows XP ended over four years ago, no developer in their right mind will support it nowadays. Better save some money and upgrade. |

Considering that support for Windows XP ended over four years ago, no developer in their right mind will support it nowadays. Better save some money and upgrade. Effectively this. I don't even know if the game engine Unity can still support Windows XP. I'll tinker with it but I have to say it's REALLY low on the priority list to go that far back to XP. Granted the WinForm controller SHOULD be able to run on XP... but likely at the expense of me downgrading the .NET Framework to like 3.5. (I downgraded it once at the behest of some to make it compatible with Windows Vista and that was a stretch.) Also: in regards to the new Millionaire format: - I will be working on "Ask The Host". I can see what the icon looks like from the Sun trailer/rehearsal game. - Set The Threshold: I will have to come back to this. Looking at the video from The Sun and from a mechanical stand point... it seems that before the next question is revealed, the host will ask "Do you want to set this as your threshold?" Meaning, for example and if you were on the (current) US show, you were on Question 5 going to Question 6... "Do you want to set your threshold to be $7,000?" If you say yes, the $7,000 question level turns white and on a successful correct answer... it becomes the new threshold. Then the other question is... how many times do I want to let this happen? Should I create a prompt in the controller... or just allow someone to set it via the "Edit Money Tree" option? Going with the former: this allows me to trigger an animation on the tree itself... (or other miscellaneous sound effect).. going with the latter, no animation and just a redraw of the board. |

This is kind of outside the scope of the program I'm making. You can use something like a live video switch, or Open Broadcaster Software or XSplit to accomplish this. |
