Well, I know I overheard FaRTy talking about getting a free site, but, I don't know what Yoshi would have against hosting the PHP? I mean, this is a mapping site, and stacking text is part of it last time I checked ^_^

That isn't exactly why I was asking for free site, I am working on a basic clan website. Also I was going to add it there tongue.gif
+ yoshi hates me (i think)

Hope small text isn't true.
Well that can happen. Sometimes mods think: posts a lot = spammer.

Its not that I post alot... Its just because I annoy him (I think) tongue.gif

anyways. I am trying to make that example I posted a while back into a working version. tongue.gif But I cant get the .length to work.. if you can tell me a different way to make something check how long a text field is, do so.
I also fixed where if you click "Light Green" and then one of the bottom 3 (they use Yellow instead) it wont just remove the dot, it switches down to yellow.
(In other words, if you have something selected that cannot use Yellow, and you select Light Green; then you select something like "Unit Name" that doesn't have light green, the dot will move down to Yellow. So then something is always selected. I should add a "None" selection)

ADDITION:
About where I will put this online as a PHP,
I think yoshi will probably let me put it here (I can't ask him untill its almost done... I am just doing the program design concepts, and the research). It will help people with there maps tongue.gif

I'll just find a few places to put it.




Also, if a few people can stack Überly good, I could use a little help once I get done with this part I am working on...
(All you would have to do is stack a "!" then a bit different each time. Also a pattern is needed so it isn't like
QUOTE
if (i == 3) {
}

or
QUOTE
if (i == 4) {
}


but more like
QUOTE
if (i < 10) {
if (i > 5) {
  }
}

)

If you are interested just PM me (also I do not need everyone on SEN's help, just a few people).

Not to be a kill joy or anything, but I don't like this all these new programs too make SC map making too easy, it used to be cool being good at this stuff and everyone else didn't understand it but now any newb can make a map and this will just encourage the noobs to stack incessantly. Maybe make it a private program for people you know can do it and are just lazy (just an idea so the newbs don't overrun us!).

This is not intended for noobs to just use and make themselves look like there 1337 stackers, its to help us lazy people of StarCraft to stack without any trouble (except on my part...).


there. I will try as best I can to find a way that noobs can't just be like "OMG!! NOW I CAN STACK AND MAKE ME LOOK ÜBERLY PRO!!!1!!1!1~1!"

Any ideas?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by NerdyTerdy on 2005-05-07 at 19:36:51
you could make it be only d/lable if you've been on SEN for a while or something like that, I mean I can stack Überly already and it takes me like 20 seconds so this wouldn't benefit me, like I said up there you could just distribute it only to people you knew were good stackers and stuff, also I think I can help you with auto stacking some things I know a few formulas that work 99% of the time it only doesn't work with weird words and stuff.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by O)FaRTy1billion on 2005-05-07 at 19:45:27
Some noobs have been here a long time.

You could sell it for like 300 minerals tongue.gif

Also, I am using formulas that work 100% of the time. tongue.gif
This goes farther than just guessing what go where.




ADDITION:
!! good idea! (I hope)
Make it so you get like 10 free stacks, then make it so you have to register to use it the rest of the time. That way, noobs could only get like 10 free stacks (that would be nice to them so they don't feel un-special smile.gif). Then for the register thingy, make it so that you have to prove to a real person that you can stack and are just using this so you can be lazy all day.

But what if they just use it and save the stacks then use thoes to prove?
    Make it so the "free stacks" have a little character in them that doesn't affect the stack at all. Then you just have them check for that one thing to see.

But what if they catch on and remove it?
    Make it so it is in some random places throughout the stack. (Then it will always be different, so they can't just delete it.

Any more things that could go wrong?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by NerdyTerdy on 2005-05-07 at 19:47:51
Some newbs could stack one really easy thing just by luck and use that to prove it, also they could steal stacking from some other map.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by O)FaRTy1billion on 2005-05-07 at 19:52:54
Give them a word(s), and have them stack in a random place(s).
With the word, make it something like "Green Applejuice", or something that no one just happen to have in an unprotected map.

ADDITION:
If they can at least get it looking nice (not like there stacking "Green Applejuice" and the second "Green" is on top of the first "en Applejuice". a few pixels off would be Ok.

good idea, hmm make it 12 or less letters because it's easier to stack that many.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by O)FaRTy1billion on 2005-05-07 at 19:58:16
The most you can stack (in objectives) is 37. but that would have to be 37 ".", "!", or ":"s.

You guys going to get a free host that supports PHP or are you going to bug yoshi until he hosts you?

Eh, I have my own free PHP + MySQL host...I'll host it if the whole PHP thing works out.

Also I was thinking make it an actual executable (program) and a php version.


does that answer your question?
I would do this in Visual Basics, but I tried getting it and it said you need windows 2000 or greater. (I think) And I'm on WinME

The only reason PHP was thrown into the matter was becuase I offered to do it, even though on top of that I have my own site to work on, a friends, LW's, maybe Max's, and then this. But I don't know, I never work on them...mellow.gif

Rexy, maybe you should focus on one thing at a time tongue.gif

I do the same thing. You start one project, and just keep starting new ones.
Take my map making for example, I am working on over 200 maps, yet about 3 are complete and ready to release. (roflmao!)

ADDITION:
Sorry, I hope I didn't scare you people.

Since I can't get on Battle.net to play & test with people, I havn't been doing anything. (look at me SEN Participation, its 100%)
So I decided to get off my lazy ass and do something! and here I am asking for help lol! tongue.gif

Hah, at least you're not doing what I did when I first came here.
I had nothing to do so I spammed up the forums a bit - but I learned the hard way on that one.

So just watch how much you post.

Isn't spam pointless posting / repeating alot / lots of pointless posts?
By pointless post I mean off-topic and completely random.

I need to find a way to check lengths of strings in JavaScript helpsmilie.gif
Report, edit, etc...Posted by RexyRex on 2005-05-08 at 16:27:15
USE PHP.
I doubt there is a function in JavaScript that let's you do things like that in the first place.
But then again I underestimate JavaScript.
*RexyRex sighs.

But I am making it JavaScript first.

ADDITION:
and javascript has a .length thingy, but I don't know how to use it much.

Now I know nothing has happened in a while, but now something has.
Since LegacyWeapon was nice enough to tell me how to use a simple script, I can now be working on the more basic parts. Thanks Legacy! smile.gif

I would post the version with the "working parts", but since I don't want to give out the version that you can easily source, you will just have to wait a little longer pinch.gif (Don't want to have the same program with 3 trillion names on it, or people to slip there name in it somewhere, or mess it up)
I hope to finish this soon, and now since I am able to do this, it will go faster.

Also if you can stack very well with unit names, I could use some help (To be honest, I am not good at stacking Unit names)
