Thanks for the compliment. I really enjoy coding. Do need to learn a desktop app programming language though. Is C easier or better than C++?
Wow! Is that top 100 students of each department in each university or top 100 in the country? |

Oh yeah. I tend to forget that Valve charges all of you across the pond much higher prices than they do here at home.
What I'm working on right now is switching all the variables I have hard-coded (needed to do that while investigating how to make cURL work) to dynamic variables. A bit tricky and is quickly becoming far more of a problem than it should be. Yep, you're still at the very beginning. I finished the game on the first playthrough as a lvl 34 sniper. |

Mostly I just pay for the games on Steam so that I have the ability to download them from their servers whenever I please without having to keep track of discs, files, cracks, etc.

Bought it for less than $10. That's the threshold when I am actually willing to pay for games. :P
Yep (to both the comment page and deleted comment 'error'). Still working on it. Don't you just hate when projects that were intended to be very simple start becoming so unwieldy that you forget all the parts of the problem you're trying to fix? O_O |

Just beat Borderlands. :D
Definitely buying the DLC whenever it goes on sale again. This game was one of the best I've played ever. Project Ferret If it isn't working whenever you visit, it's only because I'm working on something. It isn't broken. :) |

SUCCESS!!!!!
I now have in my possession code that successfully submits comments to MAL through cURL rather than hidden iframes. It's 6:30 am. I'm going to bed. To sleep. .......... |

I found a combat rifle with infinite ammunition. Have you found the sniper class mod that has ammo regeneration yet? Makes the game so much easier. :P

You can sell weapons at the vending machines. When you enter the menu for a machine, look at the top right corner and you'll see 3 icons (buy, sell, buy-back). That's where all the magic happens.
Oh, and I'm about 50% through forcing MAL to work with cURL. |

Before I went to bed this morning, I finished maxing a skill...trespass, I think...that gives 100% chance to penetrate shields. :) Very useful, I think.

lol I'd give you advice but I'm not sure which guy you're talking about.
Well, I've played about 10 hours of Borderlands today. Maybe a bit too much. I just spent about 20 minutes fighting a boss that was too powerful for my level and without enough ammunition. But I beat it! :D Currently a level 30 sniper. |

Oh, and you're welcome about Borderlands. :D

Argh!!!! Well, I can make curl work with any site besides MAL. It simply refuses to work and I've spent hours fighting it. I feel like I'm continually slamming my head against a brick wall. So, for now, I'm stuck with using iframes.
The problem I've encountered is that curl will pull the page/whatever from MAL but when it returns the data, it will only display for a second before it disappears and locks itself in an infinite loading loop and won't even time out. It's really weird but it seems that mymangabox does the same thing. Also, I can't seem to find anyone else online that has encountered this problem. I'm at a complete loss on this one. |
|
Keswick | 07-31-10, 12:20 PM
Yeah, not really sure what is happening. It's like the file will load and appear for literally a second before disappearing again. The same thing seems to happen when I try to load mymangabox as well. Any idea what causes this?

I'm working with the script off the article you sent me but I can only make it work on sites other than MAL. When testing it with MAL it becomes a persistent process or something. It just infinitely loads the url. Frankly, I'm lost with this one. I understand the function of a proxy, but I've never used php's 'f' commands before.
|
|
Keswick | 07-31-10, 2:21 AM
Lol, i actually found that article earlier. But what makes iframes so bad?
If I go with the writing my own proxy approach, I will also need to authenticate users. And my server can only be logged into mal as a single user at a time. How would I work around that? Thanks for the help! I always manage to learn things from you. |

Keswick | 07-30-10, 10:07 PM
Ok, so the comment posting works for profiles with the iframe method. I think I could eventually make it work with cURL inside php, but it would take too long to learn. iframes are just much easier and faster.

Keswick | 07-30-10, 4:53 PM
Gargh...can't seem to make jquery POST to another domain. I don't think it's possible. I have another idea to try with iframes though.

Keswick | 07-30-10, 4:26 PM
Yeah, Borderlands sort of flew below my radar as well. You'll love it though.
D'oh! Stupid Keswick! I should have realized the no-target trick. I've actually used it on 2 of my own sites. *slaps self* |

Ok, so I'm having a bit of trouble with this function on project ferret (the comment submit part).
From what I can discern from the source, it seems that when clicking submit on a comment on a profile (still can't find where it all happens on the club pages), the comment and member id are posted to the 'addcomment.php' page for processing. Then (even though I can't actually view the page to verify the details) the addcomment.php page does it's voodoo. All I need to figure out now is which variables to pass to the addcomments page. What I'm still lost about is where the magic happens on the club frontpages. Hopefully I'm just overlooking it and a fresh pair of eyes will find it. Mind helping for a few minutes? :) Have you ever played borderlands? It's brilliant! Definitely suggest giving it a try. The cel-shading is cool and the in-game humor is brilliant. |
