If we're really suggesting improvements, I think it would be great if we had a player page like GC and you didn't have to constantly keep signing in with different log-in names. It would be nice to just be able to see all your games and click on them to open them up. All you would have to add is one extra step so people can have different handles for different games (unlike GC)

Make a simple "preemie" in notepad. Put a link with http://www.treadon.us/dwars/dwlogin.php?username=YOURUSERNAMEGOESHERE&password=YOURPASSWORDGOESHERE You could also change that into the game area hyperlink so when you click it, it logs you into the game you want. You'd need to edit the source every round but it's worth it if that's what you want but don't want to pay the $20.

It's really a shame this game doesn't have more social redeeming value cause we have some very clever people around here. Good looking out :)

perhaps I distributed my compliments too soon. Seems like when I try and create a document, my browser doesn't want the link to work cause it says I'm missing cookies. It does work for typing the address straight in so maybe i'll just make them favorites

I tried to get the premie, but can´t donate from mexico :(

Timoteo it works fine. The cookies is a fault on your half. Heres an example of some basic code, I don't know how to get it to AUTOMATICALLY [not tampering with browser settings] open in a new tab, but that's because I can't code. :P

this would open in new window
<script type="text/javascript">
function GAME ROOM #(popurl){
var

winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=,height=,toolbar,location,directories,status ,scrollbars,menubar,resizable"

)
}
</script>

<a href="javascript:GAME ROOM #('http://www.treadon.us/dwars/dwlogin.php?username=yourusernamehere&password=yourpasshere')">GAME ROOM #</a>

Now if I just knew what the database connect file was, and the code used for "handle" "tokens", "money", "room#" and "messages"
then I could make a premie myself. I guess I could just use the one I have right now though. :P

Ask Admin for them, didn't he give them to SA:Banjo for there scripts?

there is nothing like a "database connect file". SA used scripts that fetched and parsed the scores page. the cleansed data was stored in their own database.

rit has given you an API to have an easier time fetching the status page for instance. mess with it ...

i still dont understand how these api calls are implemented, maybe somebody could provide an example with code?

If you put the tag <base target="_blank"> in the head of your page, all links on that page will open in a new window.

I really like that idea. I am new to DW and have had thoughts of that same idea. It would sure simplify the whole process.

Well that would be fine for most. But I live on a fixed income. I have been on SSI for more than a year now. I have cancer and I am dying. I don't get out and I cannot afford those luxuries. But I can deal with that. I understand. Thanks for the insight KillaHo.

Spork!!!

18th September 2006, 01:23 PM

How about on the record page, instead of "most WORKING junkies", have "most (total) junkies", or add "most training junkies"?

Maybe add "most junkies lost" for the pwnage factor? Even "most junkies stolen (total)" which would take into account the # won AND lost throughout the round? This could increase the holders boasting rights...

Maybe to even it up, add 2 more, "1)most vests and 2) most guns produced per token"... it's often not the person with the most creds or machines...

tca

18th September 2006, 04:39 PM

most total junkies would make it too easy for the gunners ;)

ive not quite grasped the point of junkies for gunners...

LMAO, steff that's just harsh. Hey Wild, gunners like money too ;)

I can't believe this thread got bumped again. What exactly do you win if you win overall?

EMFS-Go back some pages and towards the beginning, Steff gave me some code to use. Save that address as one of your favorite places and you can kind of have the same thing. Just make the link names the room names.

you win a donation code ;)

14th October 2006, 10:06 PM

win a what now?

tca

14th October 2006, 10:18 PM

donation code, it means you can donate that code to the game for some extra tokens + cash

14th October 2006, 10:20 PM

mmmm flashy

I don't want recognition, I want whats rightfully mine: donation codes.

15th October 2006, 12:35 PM

LOL, i was just playin. How many $ in codes do you get? Seems like that would just make it easier to win overall the next round.

2 x $25 i think, how many steff is owed im not sure though

and if your gonna win overrall, its gonna be your skill that gets you there ;)

not a donation code

steff

15th October 2006, 06:44 PM

$20*3 - if you take the cash it's $50.

Timoteo32

16th October 2006, 02:42 AM

I hear all this talk about how skill beats donation but if a person WITH skill donates, doesn't that still give them a huge advantage? (i.e.-run your labless junkie strat as normal but you just get a bunch of lab for free basically)

Calienta

16th October 2006, 02:45 AM

Yes a donation can push you into winning territory... ie: somebody runs a mean strat that can yield them $125 mill ... they get that extra donation code it might mean the overall for them. tca was just meaning people can donate all the time and it doesn't mean they're gonna win :P But yeah Timo you're absolutely right.
