<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">*Ruatha stands over his PC, finger poised just a milimeter from the ENTER button, sweat pooring off him like water down a jungle water fall. He ponders the what if's as his finger ever so slowly closes the increadably narrow distance to finally make contact with the ENTER button. That was the Last time any of us ever saw Ruatha again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I guess it didn't go as planned. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Will you switch NGC3 to automatic then? Maybe we even could use it this time...

After this turn, I'll switch to auto.
I need to change the Dravens password to allow someone else to take over, so thi sturn it's manual.

Re: PBW Emergency Site ver 2 Development
 

I've run into a strange problem with the autoturn exe, sometimes it hangs the autoexecution script, and then it don't reset the timer so it restarts it every minute... Tonight when I was sleeping it started it 182 times, all running consecutively.

It seems to only occur if the app is started through the web page...
I don't understand this...

EDIT:

I still don't get it.
If I click on the app in explorer it runs great.
if I start if from the webpage it doesn't

It sets the same current directory before calling PHP.exe, but when called from the web it hangs the first time it calls PHP.EXE to executethe runturn script.
I guess, I can disable the web start feature....

Re: PBW Emergency Site ver 2 Development
 

Ok, here's what next:

1. Total rewrite of autoturn.exe;
Make it runnabel and controllable remotely through the website.

2. Make it indipendent of PHP scripts;
- It shall be mail capable;
- Can automail new turns.
- Can retreive in-mailed turns.

3. Make it zip workable;
- It shall be able to compress new turns by itself.
- It shall be able to unzip in-sent turns.

So, it will also work as a fully capable mail client (Not in a proffessional way, but workable) and a fully workable zip archiver/de-compresser. If someone want's to use it in that way aswell.

3. rewrite of site to add a switch to use it as a file server or a game running capable server.
If as a file server no game controllable options will be shown.

Re: PBW Emergency Site ver 2 Development
 

Made the site switch "file/game server".
And changed all logins to cookies instead of url parameters, once more I've done as Fyron said...

Remade all news and history handling to add latest news at top instead of bottom.

Made news/mailed news insert line breaks without user having to add html code.

Still developing even if it never comes into use, it's a fun learning process.
Will streamline all code to make lesser time aswell.

So where can we get the latest Version of this Ruatha?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Development halted some time ago, time to take it up I think.
Most things work but tthe autorun feature is unrelaible.
I'll start up the server when I get home from work and post a link to the files here.
