Frustrating TT-Forums.net - Graphics overview

[BobXP]

What about using a wiki?

You could have Category:TT graphics with all the graphics files listed there and categorised.

I have a MediaWiki installed on my site, so I wouldn't mind managing this task.

Who likes this idea?

*repeats self*

Dammit why does everyone have to ignore me? At least you could tell me it was a crappy idea if that's what you think

[spaceman-spiff]

Bobxp, your reaction is childish and it will only drive you more and more in the forgotten corner
I've posted thousands of replies without anyone answering them, do you hear me cry
Heck, members don't even read or get my warnings

And if you had actually read the thread you would see that I made the same suggestion a few posts before you but you dont hear me whining

If you'd have read the whole thread, you would have noticed that a Wiki had already been suggested.

EDIT: And if I had read this last post before mine I would have noticed that this has already been said.

So why bother reading?

[BobXP]

*snore* my god the internet is sloooooooow today

We don't mind if you wouldn't come here anymore.

???

Hmmm, I've been away a few days on work, only to come back and realize that there hasn't been any progress made yet! Or have I overlooked something?

[Lakie]

Try giving it some more time.

I could take a while for a list of ALL / MOST relaesed graphics to be compiled.

/Me jumps in.

I do administer my site from time to time, alltouhgh I am not working on it anymore. I could however pick up my work on the site again and make some modifications to it. Please convince me why this should be the done and I can consider it. My interrest in PHP scripting is a little lower than it used to be since I picked up learning C++. But as I'm bored a lot lately, you never know...

[Hyronymus]

Why not, Dinges? A LOT of things have bee added to TTD, especially in a graphical sense. Some categories on your site were empty but they might be filled if you reinstate your site. According to the dowload-figures your site is pretty well-known too amonst TTD players.

I know it is well visited . But as my interest changed over time, I left the site for what it was and did other things

[Hyronymus]

Don't ever do that again ! You need more reasons to patch the error?

[Dinges]

You mad or something?

If you are considering working on your site, and you are also considering working a lot on your site, you might want to consider reading this topic: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=8716

Well, if you like C++, you could rework the site using Java, that's similar to C++ in some ways.

Hehe, no way. It seems I should have added too but according to some people that's not polite (or something like that).

I think PHP is more similar than Java, and I am not going to rework my site in Java becouse it is not correctly suported on all platforms/browsers and as slow as my grandmothers rollator. (don't even have a granny, consider that)

[orudge]

Hmm, PHP is good, PHP is nice. You could write the site in C++ if you really wanted, Dinges, and have it output HTML - a load of CGI binaries, basically. Upload the source code to the server, build it, run it in cgi-bin. It had better be absolutely watertight though as buffer overflows, etc, can all be bad things. PHP is the safer option.

[DaleStan]

C++ ... buffer overflows

Correctly implemented, that shouldn't be a concern.
When was the last time you used your own buffers (static or otherwise) in C++? And why?
basic_string, vector, list, deque, &c. all exist for a very excellent reason, and if the function in question can't handle them, it needs to be re-implemented.

OTOH:

After a brief diversion with PHP, I decided that PHP indeed belongs outside httpd. It also belongs outside the Unix box. Feel free to stick it on a MS box, though; the OS is so full of holes, another few won't matter.

<and also>

I gave up on php security when I discovered that its include would happily take a URL, retrieve it, and include it without any warning. It only takes one programmer to allow the variable that goes into the include to be hit and FOOM!

ObDisclaimer: I have never used PHP, and so have no personal experience with its potential security holes.
