Have fun! (Note: I like the Hitchhiker's guide very much and i ran out of ideas for map names, go figure...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernel Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Ok, today I've been playing around with the web server and some webpages. The web server now has Virtual Hosts enabled which means you can now also get to your page by following this link: https://dow.os.101main.com/DoW_Section_new.html (I hope ) All old links still work as normal. Second, I've been playing around with some PHP and I've created a new version of Aralez's DoW page. The page can be found here: https://www.os.101main.com/DoWmain.php Right at the very bottom of the page is an admin link that will let you add/edit and delete maps from the database. It will ask you for your username and password. I've only added 5 maps so far while I was testing it. Let me know what you think and if you want to use it. I'll place it into your area on the server.

Aralez Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Wow, awesome! Could you add the "gamemode" description and maybe an empty line between the map-icons? Then the new site would be perfect! Really good work, this is much easier than the old way of adding those pics/links/files with Notepad! https://www.vaged.vcu.edu/images/old/ThumbsUp.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernel Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Aralez, Do you use any messenger program? MSN? Yahoo? I'll add a "players" field for the number of players and a "mode" field for the supported modes. Edit:There, updated the table layout and added players and game modes.You want me to put the file into your area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aralez Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Short answer: YES !!!! It looks WAY more professional than my attempt at html-editing. One question, though: Are the maps sorted automatically ? Oh ah no, i don't have any chat proggies installed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aralez Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Just some worshipping: https://www.os.101main.com/ufo/Smilie/coop01.jpg https://www.os.101main.com/ufo/Smilie/coop02.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aralez Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Nice! I will add the other maps asap! Cool, you even added a delete and change function! Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aralez Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Hm, the "Gamemode" text can be entered, but somehow doesn't appear... Anyway, i will add the rest of the maps and maybe add that text later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernel Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Should work now... I think. Might have to refresh the page or go back to the main page and then back into the admin page.I also fixed a problem with adding a map after deleting one.

shagpuss Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Cool work. Ahem.....but...... is there any chance of adding some color, the map descriptions tend to just blur into each other, ok i'll shut up now...... A, I assume u didn't play on thursday just? Did u wanna make a date for this Thursday? Dunt see K around much, is the general still here? Had a quick look on E-bay this morning (03:46 ) and saw the double pack of Chaos Gate and Final Liberation goin for £31!! OMG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernel Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I added the date to each map and you can now sort by name and date.The date is when the maps are added to the db. I've also made the light grey colour a little lighter so you can see the divide between the map descriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagpuss Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Kewl that looks alot better, dunt like to say things I mean wot the hell do I and cultist Jacob know anyway?

Aralez Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have some computer problems atm. My Windows ME partition was wrecked by a hardware/software/user-failure combined with a virus attack. CG worked good under ME. I got it to work under XP, too, by setting the compatibility mode to win95 and the colours to 256. But then the ME partition said goodbye after several attempts to rescue it from a virus i got by downloading a free programming language from www.programmersheaven.com. I then decided to make a second XP partition, as the ME installer had troubles with the XP boot-files, argh! I have two XP partitions atm, one working (but with a one-minute start-up time) and a second one that is under construction. Shagpuss, don't worry: DoW works. Xcom, TFTD, UFOAM and several other programs were lost. I will have to reinstall everything and i hope to be back up again fully in some hours.

Aralez Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Alright, everything back under control CG works under XP but as i said you have to enable the compatibility mode and set 640x480 and 256 colours in the same options field for the exe. I have patch 1.2 installed. Strangely the no-cd-exe doesn't work under XP... But as i have the original CD And there IS a multiplayer mode in the game as well. I haven't tested it , though. Shagpuss, same time same place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
