| Check out the cybervillage NOW! I imported a bridge and some shrubbed paths! |

| Wow, you got reserve bandwidth? Have you got a device that soaks up bandwidth and when your ISP goes down, it provides backup? OMG! THAT WOULD BE SOOOO AWESOME! |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-13-2005 server time |
Ya, I can't believe I actually successfully uploaded 50KB of data a few minutes ago.  don't ask where I took that bandwidth. It just... let me do it.  |
| Furball - Jan-13-2005 server time |
| Ya, II finished uploading them (I think). Sympatico is realllllly slow!!! |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-13-2005 server time |
Yeah the paths are good, it's just that having something in an angle kind of gives an ackward perspective. Though you can do like what I did with the bank and just have it written on the roof or what not. Deleted the paths so you can reupload them.  |
| Furball - Jan-13-2005 server time |
Oh, it IS top view actually. You can't exactly draw a sign from the top view....nobody can tell what it is  . Thta one has a bit of 3 dimention in it.....you seee, the snow at the base creates a "distance" perspective. But if you want it changed, I might be able to whip up something new. How are the snowy paths? |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-13-2005 server time |
Just noticed all the changes good work. Remember top view only Or did the sigh fall over? |
| Furball - Jan-13-2005 server time |
| Ya, ALL THE PATHS. I find it easier to just upload all of them at once...make sure I don't get rid of the wrong ones |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-13-2005 server time |
| Oh ok, I'll do that, just give me the right urls to ensure I don't get the wrong ones! I should put a delete feature, basically I could make it check the map table to ensure it's not in use. |
| Furball - Jan-13-2005 server time |
| Ya, I uploaded it. Only thing though, the paths I uploaded need to be erased. I had to fix a good chunk of them so that they connect properly. They're all fixed up now....they just need to be erased from the house bank so that other users don't get them mixed up. |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-13-2005 server time |
| haha cool, upload it! |
| Furball - Jan-13-2005 server time |
| How's this for a new cybervillage building? It's an igloo!!! |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-13-2005 server time |
| I'll keep it at 10M to see how things go, if it's really hard to win then I might put it at like 25M or something. The jackpot is only applied once someone actually does win so that's why it still says 9M + bought tickets. But now that it's harder to win, the jackpot will grow more as people attempt to win. |
| Furball - Jan-13-2005 server time |
| The lotary is official worthy. No more dough racking so easy anymore! The pot could be bigger though.....maybe 18 mil or something. |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-13-2005 server time |
| Yeah looks cool, but would look out of place with all the top views. I was thinking of making the cybervillage horizontal scrolling though, sort of like super mario. Technically it would be possible to change it without much hassle... but we'll stick with the 2D map. |
| Furball - Jan-13-2005 server time |
| How's THIS for a house? It's not a top view or anything, you can put more detail into a 3-dimentional house I find. I think it looks nifty. Highly decorative. Just add a couple more snowbanks . |
| Furball - Jan-12-2005 server time |
| Ya, guest is a jarr to steal from. NO DEFENSE. A blank bomb does the trick! . Good idea to have defense on it. |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-12-2005 server time |
| Would be cool, but would be hard on the database to compute that every time it loads. Oh and stealing from guest will be a tad harder now. Since it automaticly generates itself some defence when successfully stolen from. That should help the enron stocks. I was also informed that bigints actually have a limit that is much higher then the one set, so I'll test this out when I get the chance and if it's the case we won't be limited by 2100000000 anymore for numbers. |
| Furball - Jan-12-2005 server time |
| I just had an idea. Wouldn't it be cool to show titles on the cybervillage screen? On the title screen, you can see members and their activity. It will be dependant on what percentage of the cybervillage they own. For example, I own around 16 pieces of land, so my title might show FURBALL OWNS AROUND 34% of the Cybervillage. Also, the higher the person (Who has the most moeny and property) can be given a title like: RED SQUIRREL: PRESIDENT. Or FURBALL: HEAD OF BANKING. All dependant on the industries in the cybervillage and the success of the owner. So, whoever has the most banks will be called the "HEAD BANKER" and whoever has the most shops can be called the "HEAD SHOPKEEP". |
| Furball - Jan-12-2005 server time |
| Excellent |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-12-2005 server time |
| Added the category. |
| Furball - Jan-12-2005 server time |
| Ya, you did. I'm revising the article at the moment. Making sure that other people will get the message. Great, as soon as that item type is up, I'll manufacture more items |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-12-2005 server time |
| yeah would be cool to post that up I'll talk to him about it. I'll add that category now, I was actually thinking of adding it (or did I mention it in class? lol) Given I'll have to add the entry in the database using the database admin panel might as well do a backup too.  |
| Furball - Jan-12-2005 server time |
| Need to add a new item type: Supernatural items. I just opened up my artifact shop and it's going to have MASSIVE items which are REALLY expensive. However, most of them will be stuff like "Super Flood" or "essence of earthquake". The military doesn't use earthquakes . ALTHOUGH! That WOULD be funny . BTW, Ian has an article on Macroeing and the use of bots to play games. Might be a good idea to post it. It needs a bunch of revision, but it's a big issue for online gaming these days. I'll bet it would get some nice hits. |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-11-2005 server time |
| Oh crap, might be because BIGINTS don't support negatives... I'll have to experiment with that. This can't be good, since the whole system uses BIGINTS, well it's only a thing of changing it in the database, but bigints are the largest types. Floats might be the only alternative. |
| Furball - Jan-11-2005 server time |
| When your digits go into the negatives, I found they do crazy things. I attempted to rob you with something small and got fined. I lost around 1000 IC's. At the time, I had deposited my money in the bank, so I had roughly about 210 ic's in my wallet. When It went into the negatives, I thought nothing of it. I had around -1000 IC's or so. Then, when I entered the bank screen, it showed 290 IC's in my wallet. When I exited the bank, it showed -2000 or so. After going to a few shops (but not buying anything), my IC's fluctuated like CRAZY! At one point, I had - 66667 IC's. I finally paid it all back and restored my total, but that was quite odd. Might need to be checked out of something. |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| Yeah those errors are normal. It's because the file does not exist until it gets created, so they only show up once, and only show up if I manually delete the file. I could block them but I keep them in case a more serious problem arises such as a permission issue. |
| Furball - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| Ya, the item thingy is working now. Only shows items I purchased. There were errors posted at the top though: Warning: fopen(data/stealdate.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/iceteks/public_html/forums/cybervillage/steal.php on line 9 Warning: fgets(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/iceteks/public_html/forums/cybervillage/steal.php on line 10 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/iceteks/public_html/forums/cybervillage/steal.php on line 11 Probably just minor stuff. I don't know PHP but it looks like you're trying to get values from a file. I dunno, you'd know more about what it is. |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| haha |
| Furball - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| Payback is sweet Red. You know I'll be building a WMD to take you out . Awwww, you censored out all the good swears |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| Just went on a bank robbery rampage. Man I so need to recode that section, it's just too easy to rob the bank now. Well with the plasma grenade anyway... |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| haha yeah it was tempting. Robbed you with 3 uranium rods stuck together. that thing weighs 3 tons! |
| Furball - Jan-09-2005 server time |
 Ack, you robbed me!!! Tsk tsk. Now reset that thing again so that I can check to see if my items show up |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| read me edited post it explains what would happen if you did use the items. Not pretty. Sorted the problem now, just go check it to be sure. I deleted the steal status file so it will let you in. |
| Furball - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| I'll show you what it's doing tomorrow morning in HTML. I found it to be weird too. I should check to see if I can actually USE the items too . |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| That's really weird that it does that, since it should not show the ones that you made... I'll have to look into that but it will not be easy since it's not happening to me. edit: nevermind, it actually is doing it to me I just never noticed before. It's probably just a AND I have to put in the query I should have it fixed soon.. whatever you do DONT use items you manufacture since the steal feature does not account for stock, it just assume the item is individual, so it will delete the entire item even if there's 50000000 in stock. |
| Furball - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| When I go to attack somebody, all my items (Including the ones I manufacture, show up. Does the same thing happen for you Red? It's harder to find which types of items I own and which ones are there for show. |

| DDS Senior Citizen Facility Systems |
| Furball - Jan-09-2005 server time |
But not Cyberfrost City! Where will the senior citizens live?!  |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| DDS will take over muhahahahaha! |
| Furball - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| I'm claiming my territory right now. Making sure the peaceful Cyberfrost City doesn't get over by the DDS corporation. I'll check out the mall stuff later. I see that you implemented the option to see what you created in your own store. Nice work, I forgot about half of the items I created . |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| Fixed it, for some reason I owned this land and it pointed to an invalid bank. BTW check the mall there's better options for making a WMD. You don't have to use all your items anymore you can somewhat pick and choose. |
| Furball - Jan-09-2005 server time |
| At (4, 12) in the cybervillage map, there's some kind of error. Nobody can buy land on it. Check it out, might be a bug. |
| Furball - Jan-07-2005 server time |
K, works now. Thx  |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-07-2005 server time |
| if($ibforums->member[mgroup]=='5'_die("You have been banned from this forum!"); instead of if($ibforums->member[mgroup]=='5')die("You have been banned from this forum!"); |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-07-2005 server time |
| LOL I added a line of code to block banned members, and I never bothered to make sure it parsed ok. Will be fixed in a sec... |
| Furball - Jan-07-2005 server time |
Woah, this can't be good  . I just logged in as Furball and when I try to log into the cybervillage, I get this message:Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/iceteks/public_html/forums/cybervillage/ibdb.php on line 153 What's that all about? |
| Red Squirrel - Jan-07-2005 server time |
| Hahaha yeah enron stocks are tricky. They'll go up if someone manufactures items or buys land or something. anything that involves money going to the "goverment" (aka, nowhere lol) makes those stocks go up. wait a sec, is that how it works for real enron stocks? Given bush has connections etc... |
| Nathan - Jan-07-2005 server time |
| I'm loosing everything in enron... damn, they are doing the same thing again... |
| Furball - Jan-06-2005 server time |
Hehehe. I opened up YET ANOTHER shop . I can start my own little towns! All I have to do is buy out dds  and MY PLAN WILL BE COMPLETE! |
