Wow, my ps3 wont let me follow the link xD Oh well, I'll just assume its fantastic :P

[Earth]

i dont even know how to load the thing. it jsut stops up my comp completley when i try. after i get back, tho, ill try again.

Discrimination is excluding someone from something but the way it was said implied bullying.

 

Arch, could you put it online?

 

Anyway, I think I know you from seeing your other websites.

 

The background needs to be changed from black to stars or a brighter colour.

You should have a comment section or miniforum in which you can discuss every single planet/area.

Otherwise, I imagine its good.

[Retech]

Try the demo version of StuffIt. It can be used for as long as you want and has all the necessary features to extract various kinds of files.

[Earth]

tech illiterate? how does not knowing to view a zip filed code as whats it meant to be, make us tech illiterate?

[Earth]

which means that i dont care! i dont have the cash to buy the winrar thing. but i did figure out how to open the files without it.

[Retech]

Demo is free. :thumbup:

[Seraphi]

>Implying anyone actually buys Winrar and doesn't just close the "Winrar is not a free service!" window whenever it appears.

 

Have you seriously never used .zip files before :blink:

[Iconic]

I know how to do it, its just that I can't be bothered.

[Seraphi]

T'was directed at Earth, my good sir.

 

Anyways, Archi, it's looking really good so far. Are you planning on making each star clickable to find information?

 

Because if you are, that sounds like a hell of a lot of work.

[Earth]

i have. but i usually associate website with an actuall site..

[Seraphi]

I associate website with html files which have been uploaded and put into an easy-to-access format.

[Earth]

and having to click every single image file is an easy to acess format, when there are over 50 maps? thats not easy to acess!

[Seraphi]

No, no, you misunderstand the context.

 

I meant that uploading them puts them into an easy to access format. Zip files aren't difficult, but in website format they are easier :rolleyes:

[Earth]

upload them where?..

[archimage_a]

Yeah...Sorry about the RAR file rather than html.

As I explained earlier making the site accessable from the interweb would require me to go through a manually change over 1,200 files to allow outside viewing, or I need to find a way to communicate with the Unix server. when I have completed the sector map links and deleted the blasted active X script from the pages, I will log into to Unix and chmod the directory to allow outside viewing.

 

@ archi - map looks great so far, you should add something where in the sector maps there is information such as planet types, available resources, who controls it, etc.

Since the stars have a big white void in the center, and since I have to use seperate directories, I can plant flags on the files so it is easy to see how many planets and who owns what planets.

Resources, populations and planet types will be system by system.

 

Are you planning on making each star clickable to find information?

Yes.

Each star will have its own page, with a graphic of the planets and other stuff in the system.

The data on planets will be limited to:-

Size:

Resources:

Atomsphere:

Owner(s):

Population(s):

Development(s):

3 Dominate Plants:

3 Dominate Animals:

Notes:

 

 

Important:

 

I could really do with some help as to managing populations.

If someone could design me short script which did:

*Start*

Run Once per Day.

Grab Population from Population(3)

Population+Population growth=Population(2)

Population(2)+Manual Change(Default 0)=Population(3)

IF Population(3)>=Development*X Reset to Development*X

Post Population(3)

*End*

 

Then I would be seriously indebted to whoever did it.

[Seraphi]

Can't script for peanuts, sorry.

[Retech]

Can't script for peanuts, sorry.

 

Well I can script for peanuts, if you left the peanuts at my front door with a jeep outfitted with supplies to take me to Mexico. :thumbup:

[jasignhagj]

Go to the code section of the tech board. They can probably help you.

[Ieyfura]

@ technologically illiterate fools - download winRar so you can view the files.

 

I state once more, I use a ps3, not a computer. :P

[Earth]

if i get my ass kicked by a bee, then ii have no chance of coding things.

[archimage_a]

Well, as you would have learned if we were doing Dungeoneering, only eat the nuts in the yellow bowl, the other ones are toxic to humans.

[Earth]

... what?...

[archimage_a]

Well there are usually 3 bowls of peanuts in the bars of the future, since there are 5 races that generally visit bars AND eat peanuts. Humans being one of them.

Now, 3 of the races have similar enough genetics that they can eat the same kind of peanuts as each other, however humans and another race are too different to be able to eat the peanuts without server reaction. Humans and the other race have a similar reaction to each other's types of nuts, and therefore bars have taken to the habit of stocking their counters with 3 bowls of nuts and, as every galactic citizen knows, humans eat nuts from the yellow bowl.

 

Since, if we were playing dungeoneering, you would all be galactic citizens, you would all know this....

QED

[Retech]

How about the races that don't generally visit bars and eat lots of peanuts? They could die!

 

 

Also, maybe he was thinking that you were referring to the previous iteration of Dungeoneering, which lacked peanuts or bowls to put them in.
