    RPGRevolution

    Wow. Who disables Javascript. This is a pretty big shock. I guess not so much because of the state of the game these days. Rpg revolution was a giant, but tbh im suprised it lasted this long since entertains own forums. I duno the circumstances but dick move shutting it down n not allowing ppl the chance to take their stuff. Rm sites these days pretty much run on sentiment alone. That's surely why this site survived. There really isn't room for more than 2 big sites... unless they're niche sites... and we did the opposite by expanding, lol.
  2. Yeah you may have points for those but not tracked by this system. This is like a monitoring system thats only be running for a week. I could technically run a script to calculate how many points ppl made each day... but bit of a hassle. If you guys really care that much re contributor of the year..
  3. You are now. The data isn't displaying correctly. Ill fix it when i get a chance. Eg for a month it says i have 1 point and for the year i hsve 38... but its only been running in September. So its not working properly.
  4. Can't wait for this year to end. I am doing post-grad study, under-grad study (different institution, different area), and 2 part time jobs. Overworked :S

      D: You really need some rest

  5. Ok lets turn down the T-swift for a mo and visit reality for a sec, lemme give you some advice. Don't get me wrong, inspiration is a good thing, it allows to do things we want and that may not be rational etc. But the next stage when you actually find the girl, is for her to crush your heart. Humans are shitty are like that. Trust me, this will happen to you so long as you're not single your whole life. You shouldn't regret it, but you ought to learn from it. The next you time you do it there probably could be regrets. I recommend you look at this vid: Lol not all girls. But it does sound like this is what happened in Omar's case. If they're always seeking compliments, always talking their own problems, don't show any interest in your own life and just need someone at that time: that's not a relationship, that's you being used. I'm filling in the blanks here, of course.
  6. Nice guys finished last. I learned that lesson back in highschool with relation to girls, but you missed your opportunity but didn't necessarily give away the cake. You were never going to get her via whatsapp. Girls want to talk about themselves, they're up and down like they're bi-polar. I wouldn't feel bad at all in terms of what you did. Here's some advice which you defs shouldn't follow: further befriend, do meet ups, demonstrate value, undermine the new guy, obtain what you want. I'm practically married, its great not to worry about girls anymore. Also I seriously thought you were gay, that's a bit of a suprise but that's cool.
  7. Ah, I did miss the "or" but yes I see the bundle and how it's all web related. I would not be learning ruby on rails to learn RGSS, though. Bootstrap 3, HTML5, CSS3, and JS are all used in this site, which is quite obvious but I'd be impressed if you recognised we used bootstrap 3.
  8. These all seem to be game related. Before anyone considers this purchase, I would compare with a tutsplus subscription which (at first glance) covers all of these topics http://tutsplus.com/ You would, but this site isn't built in ruby on rails :P
  9. Yeah I know, someone just made a topic about it. I'll fix it when I'm free again (which will be a few days). By the way, you mentioned before about your stream signature image being slow to load right? The answer seems pretty simple in that browsers simply cache images. Almost everyone appends a unique string, usually the time, to resources that it wants to update, so it would be like myimage.png?version=4. This is what I do when I change the css file and want it all to update in your browsers immediately. But you can never do this in forums, because the image MUST end with its extension, thus it will inevitably be cached in forum signatures. But I'm thinking of writing a small script that gives you a GDU url with image extension, but it actually runs PHP. It will take your image from your stream URL and change the headers so it doesn't cache. So the same URL every single time, but it was always have to reload each time and thus give you up to date steam details. Actually I think you may be able to hack the forum security by doing this: myimage.png?v=423562642.png. Same thing, except that won't help in your situation coz the string has to change for it not be cached, coz the headers for that image allow it to be cached. If that makes sense.
  10. Hi all, I have changed the resources menu in the GDU's main menu to be a drop down with the following 4 categories: The additional three categories are all old categories of our downloads manager which has pretty much been hidden for the last 2 years (since we changed from RMXPU). But I am bringing them back now and hopefully we can continue to add resources to these categories. I am also considering scrapping our current image gallery, the one I created. It is just a listing of images and the intention was to make it easier to find resources. But I don't think I will ever get time to make it more functional, and it really isn't worth it if the current system is going to do the job. The old system has comments etc. and isn't too bad, really. Hopefully I can revive it, it used to take up half of our daily pageviews, but the number has dropped significantly. Still, the images have had several million views.
  11. Perhaps the site exhausted the mysql query limit. Next time copy the text for me if you can.
  12. There isn't right now... but I code something up. I really want to build a points system where people consider the points they have to valuable as attached to their account, so earning and spending points must be precisely balanced. So if you can buy something with your points, it must be set to the right price: not so expensive you think you'll never get there, not so cheap that everyone can get it so its worthless (and so are the points). Anyway, I was thinking about selling advertising space for games (although that seems like a long way off, not until we get more (quantity) serious projects with games ready to play. I was also thinking about selling pro accounts for points - site subscription + pro game page (both in one package). A long while back, we actually used to have a shop. I converted the VX style shop into a web style system, and you could actually attach it to your profile (refer http://www.gdunlimited.net/forums/topic/5257-rmxpu-shop/). You could chose your own class of 4 classes, then buy different weapons, shields, helmets etc. Actually this sounds a bit crazy. In 2010 we had 7.1 quake hit the city, uni was shut for 3 weeks so I actually built a web-based battle system where members can fight each other, using stats based on their class and weapons they bought. It was awesome and pointless. Do you have any suggestions for a market? I do invision a marketplace of labor: trade points for game-dev related jobs. Eg you post up something like I'm looking for an amazing boss battle theme, completely custom. 100 points anyone? If that were to work, you must be actually really able to be able to trade them for something of value. A pro account in the games section might eventually suffice in the future, because you can remove all GDU branding and have it as an actual website (a current feature, eg rgangsta's project, but pro accounts is not a live feature). Also need a slightly bigger community.
  13. It's a bug. It's a conflict with the CSS framework, bootstrap, and the forums JS code. I had a fix in place, and this has only reemerged since I accidentally deleted it. I had a go at fixing it again but I couldn't remember the syntax. I'll fix this when I get a free second.
  14. I should take a break from updates...phew

      Nah, got so much to get done :'(

  15. Hi all, A few days I implemented a top contributors module on the forum sidebar. It was updating once daily, but I have since updated it to update point counts live :) The sidebar module will show the current week leader board. That means on Monday (GMT time) it will reset to 0 all. Therefore, everyone can compete against each other weekly. You will notice a view all contributors link. That goes here http://www.gdunlimited.net/all-contributors This is the stats page. It shows these stats: Obviously until next month, current year and current month are going to be the same thing because data has only been collecting this month. However by the end of the year we'll know who the top contributors over Sep - Dec are :) Of course all these stats are relative and thus only show leaders based on current week, day, month and year. I may implement a date range changer to select specific times. I have also decided to divulge one of the greatest kept secrets on GDU: how do you get points? Now you know :> Subject to change, of course. You could try to rort the system by constantly publishing games. But I'd find you. And kill you. 're games. :3
  16. Just got advice from a really pro developer... (creator of the php framework gdu is built on). Gona make the top contributors thingy update live rather than daily :> When i get time.

      That's real cool, I'm still confused on how you receive points?

    2. Marked

      Marked

      Pretty much any contribution. A normal post is generally 2 points. If you're awesome and helping ppl in support forums, that's 5 points. Scripts and tutorials are 20 points. Publishing games will also get you points, as well as comments throughout all these sections and game blog entries.

  17. Pffft. This was a conspiracy, i bet you guys came up with this in the chat. Of course you can get as high as you want if you post within seconds of each other. 30.
  18. ^ It's my nu feature. Top contributors. The default will be weekly once there's enough. Till then it's daily :>

      sorry for the typos. By original tables I meant original rows. Rows are inside of tables, lol. Tables don't get deleted, they store data. The rows are the data.

      That's cool, I hope I get number one in 24 hours ^…^

  19. Maybe I'll let you guys sell your souls for GDU points. On a more serious note, implementing a shop system is complex without compromising the integrity of the points, eg no will want points if they aren't actually worth something. First of all, I want to charge points for pro game page accounts. Even if its something like 1 point per day for a pro game page account. But that's a bit impractical. Perhaps yearly subscriptions with a lump sum of points.
  20. For sure. Here's an example of a potential transaction.
  21. Yeah. I'm pretty sure I was first if not second to actually beat it. But it took strategy... choosing the right stuff at the start (hint). Outta curiosity, who's competing? If you guys need more points... lemme know. I plan to implement a shop soon.
  22. No one knows it yet. But you're competing against each other.... and you'll find how tomorrow after I get home for work and implement my nu feature :3

  23. Omg... you were born in the 21st century D: I just want you to know that... I didn't have broadband internet until I was 16. I suffered. :cry:
  24. Lolll. I checked my emails when i got to work and it was spammed with notifications from dis. 10
