Omripulsar

and that would actually help

-->Ruairidh

thx for the info btw. I never got this error tried a few things with a buddy and in the end we figured out that:

protection file hand the game giving the stated error

protection file kicked in becouse you propably messed up your password/login

check them, since theres no automailer with a new pass and if you cant remember yours, just make a new account

tripple post mode on, whooo!

Finally did the ship stats and holy crap who would have expected to see 100 lines of code just to display your shields. Wicked

wasnt hard but lotsa stuff to do and compare

Ill do the detailed ship view now so you guys and see whats in your explorers belly

Re-regestered new name Thrawn worked fine second time got the same error message 1st time -could of typed pass in wrong?

yes

also you are logged out after 5 or 15 minutes after loging in. Not inactivity u just get booted after a few minutes so you can get the error or pretty much a ton of them after a while just relog will change the loging some time later

The warp jump also work lol this'll keep me happy for the rest of the day buggering about finding things that i can do.

umm well u can park at 1/3/3 and grab a cold one

if bring one with you that is

sectors arent filled anything atm but adding stuff is just few click away. Ill add a dev panel later and ill be able to craft the univers while being ingame ^_^

right now 5 minute break and ill make the ship details screen

ok im parked in sirius now that'll do me for today....

well now whadda ya know I made the stuff I wanted today. Now thats something new. Not a singe major bug too, scary stuff...

Right, so:

It wouldnt hurt if after registering youd get auto redirected to main page.

Add a main page link to forums.

Move the system map "selector" to the system map page. Also, if I were you Id use a dropdown menu which would also eliminate the chance to try and view non-existing systems. Its quite awkward to ask for the system you wanna see on a page dedicated ONLY for that.

Also, I really suggest you to make an integrated warning system (just like in Omri or TDZK) that can display info on your normal status screen. Its not only dumb and breaking the game to use a whole page to display "No such system" and such errors, but you also has to use a ton lot of absolutely useless pages for that. Not to mention all that "back" buttoning, since these pages are dead ends.

Now I shouldnt even mention that ship details opening a new window...

Really, I think first you should make the page layout with the fixed parts, such as ship stats and menus, and the places where the dynamic content will be. Obviously not the most desirable part but it will make your work a ton lot easier later. Just imagine trying to integrate the already created 13.7 million pages to one when the whole is done.


Btw, why are you asking for an email at registration when even you said its not used? Well, at least dont try to send me mails to fake@mail.com.

ok lets-a-go

It wouldnt hurt if after registering youd get auto redirected to main page.

yea good idea, but atm its just a pre alpha so rly I only focus on making stuff working ;P

Move the system map "selector" to the system map page. Also,[...]

[...]already created 13.7 million pages to one when the whole is done.

thats pretty much what I wrote on the main page, thats that link thingy I called. Most normal php use system that shows a current_system&dosomethingcrap&whatever=0 I have just basic links to other pages. I know that needs doing and I already scheduled it as something to do soon

As for the map. The only thing that was a bit torublesome was to generate a the system map with shown sector types correct size etc. Also wanted to make sure u can select whatever system you want. It was something I needed to learn on the fly and details like method of choice were irrelevant back then. I will add some info to the system map. We omricon vets know what is that weird table, my buddy who isnt didnt got it one bit.

as for the mail I dont use them now, but later on pass mailing, pass changing, account confirmation and global news sent by email and stuff will be made so I made it to have the addresses already

OK didnt code for long today but did quite a few already

1. Registration form a bit changed added a pass and mail error check also puta that into some more better looking table, added a better result page, gave a link to the main page after successful creation of a new player.

2. System map tune up, still ugly BUT gave it a station finding code and it shows its name. Also the field where you enter systems and the result itself is now on one page.

3. Ship details put into the main window instead a new one. Did a litte job there also added the possibility to rename your ship. Ship details are far from good but atm there isnt much info to present actually so no extras are needed.

4. Forum link from the game window is in too

For tommorow (or tonite if I wont be able to sleep... AGAIN) ill do the report/warning thingy to the game forgot about it while making the interface (whoopsie ) so it wont be too pretty but will be there.

afterward if Ill really feel like doing some work ill add

-weapon subsystem
-weapons
-first, the most basic combat script ^_^ for solo fights
-as a result I guess that repair system would be lovely too
-no need for ship purchase code, deaths will be handled a bit differently

but really IF...

woooo i'm docked !!

Hmm, almost all my wishes came true! :p

So being a greedy bastard, Ill add more:

- for a change, now I think forum should open a new window
- You should name the window you open for system map, so every time you click the link it will only refresh the already open one instead of opening a new.
- I really dont want to be too cocky but it hurts my eyes to try and read white text on yellow background, even if theres the black striped mid-background. But at least it looks great.

At this point you got lucky, my further testing failed as the server simply stopped responding...

"- for a change, now I think forum should open a new window" doh figures
"- You should name the window you open for system map, so every time you click the link it will only refresh the already open one instead of opening a new." whats the fun in that then?
"- I really dont want to be too cocky but it hurts my eyes to try and read white text on yellow background, even if theres the black striped mid-background. But at least it looks great."

Dont mean to be mean but tdzk and omri where functional as hell. Now where they at? eye candy>functionality

"At this point you got lucky, my further testing failed as the server simply stopped responding..."

Yeah it does that for a weird reason sometimes... me no likey, gotta throw some poop at the server admins ;P
