Nope, he meant, Can combat be seen as a skill? :P And as endo said, it's not directly a skill unless you in the bet state that combat can be taken as a skill...

That's absolutely ridiculous. It might be true if you're gonna be running a massive site but for the sort of person who would come here to ask how to find a good host it is completely unnecessary to script and code their own site and not use a CMS. If you count on being successful, you'll only run into problems if you reley on premade systems... + the coding experience you'll get while making these is much more worth than simply clicking download and install... But yes, to start out with you could just get a free blog at blogger.com or something like that... It's just the rules i base my work on (and everything on Tip.It for that matter), noone says you need to follow them...

1) Don't get a free domain 2) Don't get a free host 3) Don't use some low prepare CMS system or anything like that, script and code your own website, you'll need the skills to code them at a later date, if you're planing on being serious about the website 4) Don't trust anyone unless you've known them for a long time... Giving admin access to your site to a stranger can be very dangerous Those are the 4 ground rules which i always work after, hopefully you'll be able to use them as well? Keep us posted on the site, and please post back if you need help :D Btw, http://www.serverpowered.com, http://www.webhostfreaks.com, http://www.namecheap.com <-- Some of the best IMO, a bit more expensive than you might find other places, but for the service you get it's 110% worth it.

Part of a few member quests I don't like people posting lies :evil: Calm down will ya? :? I was thinking of those doors/dates when i read this the first time, everyone can make a mistake, that doesn't make them liers...

autoers, they don't directly steal your stuff like the other two groups...

I just typed your username in, and it worked fine for me as well... Maybe it's just one of the calcs? tried another one?

I didnt mean to talk bad about your scripts...actually I personally wasnt even talking about your scripts. I was meaning the runeweb signatures. wow i've taken over this poor guys thread :( whoops Just had a chat with a person from RuneWeb... So they should be working if you try to update them now... And no offence at all taken, i'd rather know if somethings wrong than being left in the blind ;)

Just checked my scripts out, they still seem to be able to get the starts from the hiscores... It should work for you as well seeing that you are in the hiscores...

directly from the Tip.It server instead then..

the first issue i would solve with an invisible rank with start at 50 posts, and ppl with those ranks would be able to see the board... quite easy IMO... other issue can be solved with a mod, i just can't remember which one atm, and i'm too tired to search for it :P

If you understand javascript, here's the one we use for exp --> lvl on the site... Not gonna explain it to you if you don't know javascript :P function expToLevel(exp) { var points = 0; var output = 0; for (var lvl = 1; lvl <= 150; lvl++) { points += Math.floor(lvl + 300 * Math.pow(2, lvl / 7.)) if (lvl >= 1) { if (output > exp) { lvl = lvl - 1; if (lvl == "0") { return "1"; } else if (lvl > "99") { return "99"; } else { return lvl; } } output = Math.floor(points / 4); } } return 0; } Hopefully that'll help a bit... If not, just isolate x in the formula you posted ;)

Moved to general board since it's not really a discussion nor a suggestion ;)

hmmm.... well, my first payment to webhostfreaks was 2005/01/28 - So we're prob talking somewhere around that time... Can't say exactly though....

We already use some ifs in the forumla we use for runescript, but we don't have an "algorithms" to deal with certain prayer levels or anything. Thanks for the heads up. :) Not those kinda if's i had in mind... but once you gather enough dataset you prob will be able to see some kinda connection between the correctness of a combat lvl and the odd-'ness' of the prayerlvl :P

Just a few leaders to achieve a more accurate formula... Throw in some if statements, and watch out for odd prayer lvls ^_^

The link Matt posted is good, but WAY overdo if you ask me... You need to be familiar with PHP to do this (or at least thats the most common way), and simply use file_get_contents & either explode or a preg function to split the site up... If you are familar with coding you should easily be able to find the url which you need to use file_get_contents on... My script (the one on Tip.It) is only about 10-12 lines, it's not hard at all, and there's no way to make it with classes :?

I used circlehosting for about 3 months until they had a HDD breakdown and lost all the files (didn't believe they didnt have any backups, but meh)... Anyways, that made me swicth to wenhostingfreaks since i'm a large fan of the webfreaks and most of their sites, phpfreaks mostly used :D webhostfreaks are the best hosting service i've ever been at, it's really increadible how cool these guys are, i can STRONGLY recommed them, have been a customer there for over a year now, and it's just been heaven... The prices are a bit higher than some other places, but the quality you recieve from that is just massively ownage... But before the HDD crash at circle that worked fine as well, no doubt about that... But they didn't keep backups like webhostfreaks, which made me close my account without thinking twice...

Yes and Yes. And dueling. :( Oh how I miss the old duels in draynor. Agreed :D And sleeping bags :shock: they took mine away when they made rs2 :cry:

Seriously, that made me lol irl so bad :P Thanks man, you just saved my day :D *votes for kewlest post of the new year*

Yea, but if it's only an issue with your computer, this is the right forum ;)

I don't see the reason for it being required? if people want to show us thier usernames, they are free to do it in their signature and so on...

http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp - have a look through that, it should learn you the basics of javascript... Our calcs are mainly done in javascript, but some of them, as the combat calc and the max hit calc (where we want to hide the code so it doesnt get ripped and used all over the net), we use PHP...

Or learn php wince DHTML will never be enough anyways? :P

Not always... Lookup runehead.com (my domain) and you'll see that my information is protected by whois guard, which is one of the best things about namecheap.com IMO...

Moved to the right board, make sure you read the names and describtions of the boards next time mate ;)
