That's something to look foreward to. Just a shame about the whole "Ice Age" thing. The problem is that you will possibly live on a beach front only a relatively short time before you will get wet feet - apparently (correct me, Thuryl) the melting is going to accelerate. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

I just found out why single-paged topics cannot be saved with the script - I try to count pages via the "This topic comprises..." line above the posts table, and this is not displayed if the topic only has one page. In short, I'm a bit of a moron. But I'll fix it (not the moron bit, the script.) First I need to get myself a pizza though. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Pied Piper Project 3: Revenge of the Boards in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Monday, January 9 2006 11:56 Profile Homepage #3 Before I do that, I'd rather save it manually. It was a bugger getting it to work, and I still haven't managed to get that archive properly index. Basically, the files look like this: www.ironycentral.com/.../index.9fagg8g787.html www.ironycentral.com/.../index.bux938xns3.html www.ironycentral.com/.../index.65fghcdnje.html www.ironycentral.com/.../index.8r8z8ke9c8.html The program apparently uses an alphanumeric hash to save all these pages that have the same filename (index.php), and it would take days to put it into a format like /1/1775/page1.html etc. It is a very useful program when you want to save a lot of static pages with distinct filenames, but a forum where all information is from the one index file doesn't work as well. Edit: Thuryl, that was Djur, not me. He tried to use wget but apparently set the time limit between requests too low. I've used wget myself since, and there was no problem.

Pied Piper Project 3: Revenge of the Boards in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Monday, January 9 2006 08:14 Profile Homepage #0 (subtitle in continuing the StarWars theme of "PPP2: Boards Strike Back", in case anyone is wondering. Some people are dense.) The script is partly done. One of the most crucial parts was finding a way to browse through a forum and find out what threads there actually are - because by simply starting at 1 and going up to about 3500, the script would copy thousands of "thread doesn't exist pages", also, there are some gaps where topics were deleted. So I've finished a function that gets all index pages of a forum (all 51 of the ones on General, for starters), and finds the thread numbers and corresponding titles. Here's a taste of what this looks like in a database: In the second step, the script will try to copy all these threads to html pages in numbered folders. Later on, when I have more time, I will also look into inserting these posts into the database as well (which I started at some point, but didn't manage), so they can be full-text searched. For now, the html pages will have to do; after all, the script can parse those html pages later, they only need to be copied for now. As of this moment, people DO NOT NEED to manually save threads. Since good old Murphy is always ready to make things interesting, and I have the most stressed week of this year ahead of me, and the script is not yet quite done, it is entirely possible this will change. If at any point I am unable to save the threads because of technical or time-related problems, I will give notice in time. In time means Wednesday evening, GMT (early midday in America). By that time, I will either have copied all threads that need to be copied, or I will have posted here and said I couldn't and they need to be saved manually. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Script is almost working, will either run a final test on Wednesday or start manual archiving on Wednesday evening if it doesn't work. The problem is the folder permissions, but I was able to get around that by having the script use an FTP connection to create the folders. Basically, there's nothing in the way of the concept, but if I remember correctly I haven't implemented it completely yet. Also, it's a crapload of stuff this time. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, January 7 2006 14:09 Profile Homepage #34 quote: Originally written by Thuryl: quote: Originally written by Thralni, Nephil translators & co.: And now some final questions: How can I make accents on non-vowels? I have tried all kinds of things, but it can't be done in microsoft word, i think. Do you know of any way of doing that? Well, since most accented non-vowels are non-ASCII characters, the first thing you need is a font that supports them. After that you should be able to use your word processor's Insert Characters option to put them in. They probably won't display properly in a post on these forums anyway, though. Sorry. Characters like Alo's — and stuff like ø can be entered through the html code. Some characters don't have html codes, however, and only have numbers. Does this work - @?
