New Glest Guide (PHP) * glest.110mb.com *

[Omega]

The new Glest Guide is up, and it is fully writen in PHP. The Mod Download Center (MDC) has almost every mod (except select retextures and betas) available for download, as well as scenarios, tilesets, and the new Omega Map Pack (45+ maps collected from around the board).

It is in PHP, and allows ratings, allows me to keep logs, and allows you to submit ideas, posts, ect;

It is in the best new layout ever, and has the most complete data yet, along with very good XML and lau information, in a new, easily readable format. It has its own forums, and is in the simplest form available.

*NOTE: IE does not function for the XML and Lau layouts, so they get disabled. ALL other browsers work.

Also, note that the conversion to PHP means that all *.html links will be broken, so be careful posting links, and feel free to edit topics to fix this.

To Come: GAE section (need help, since my knowledge of GAE is strictly what I learned on this board).

Hi Omega!
I'm glad you finished the Guide - n1 Work !

And for IE: ^^


I really hate IE, get Firefox!
I wont make crappy code for IE anymore ;-)

Well I think your site is hacked :/

Every link I click in the tutoriel brings me to a site called
http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/33-creepiest-clouds-on-earth/1515

[Omega]

Hmm, the free site will redirect to an add if it hits a 404. What tutorial??? I'm sure I tested every link...

The site? That's some add that I'll see until I scoop out some cash to pay for a domain...

if you can use .htaccess files you can set it up so that any url with html file redirects to a page you specify. Check with the terms of service first though.

[Omega]

Except I must pay to access the .htaccess files. I tried this in the past, before I realized it...

Bah, free sucks. I need to get a domain and proper hosting, but these days, money is too precious (at least to a teen).

*Hmm, on a note, the site is running VERY slow right now, even the main page is taking 10 min to log on!!! (And counting)

[titi]

Well today everything works again, don't know what was wrong!

[wciow]

Works for me, the new site is really nice! 

[Omega]

Glad to know it. If anything ever goes wrong (on any non IE browser), please report it.

I can't assure the stability of IE, especially on the Lau and XML pages.

*Note:
I am going to have to change the rating system, which really sucks, but people have been taking advantage of it (someone gave Dark Magic a ton of 5's [sameIP]. The same person gave the omega pack two dozen ones). Looks like I'm going to have to limit IPs, and read the IP list of each rating everytime, which will slow down EVERYONE'S load time drastically.

Way to go a-holes. You just made everything worse for others!

*People who share PCs, you are out of luck, sorry.

Not sure when I'll change this though. Anyone have suggestions?

You can restrict unique IP votes for each one to something like 3 or 4 then have cookies/session for each user to restrict to 1. I'm not sure that it would be that much slower. You could have it so you only check it when the person tries to vote. Though then you wouldn't be able to let the user know before they click the button.

i voted on a few of them and one of my friends was over at my house and he voted on some of them too
sorry to cause any disruptions

[Omega]

First, I have to test a theory of mine, which, if successful, will not require any limits.

Hmm, I implimented a week ago, and nothing out of the ordinary... Maybe I won't need to set limits (crosses fingers).
