:( k

Feel like working on the challenge section today so I'ma try figure out where I left off and get back to working on it some more.

Still working on the view challenge page I'll try get as much of that finished as I can before moving onto other pages.

To do:

--
- Rate Challenges
- Post Comments
- Report Entries
- Set days left to enter/vote to the correct numbers [voting/entry-active]
- Set entries to correct number
- Set Challenge rating to correct value

--
- Track Challenge
- Related Challenges need to be real ones (sort by rating) - 2 tabs, one for challenges people can enter and one for challenges in voting.

--
- Results period

:D

Ya I'll probs just go to Tormented Demons on the night, maybe duo if anyone goes with me XD

Hmm today I'll work on comments, umm challenge ratings and setting all those numbers to show the right ones. Once they're done I'll probs get on RS and do some Tormented Demon trips.

--------------------------------------------------------------

*random check-list of stuff I need to do for those*

Comment Process
- Users challenge level needs to be worked out from their challenge points and entered as a value with their comment so a separate select statement isn't needed to lookup every users challenge points. Will be inaccurate for users that have levelled up since their comment but faster and the comments will be removed anyway when the challenge reaches it's result deadline. Update the script after levelling system has been worked out.
- Run variables through security checks.
- Trim spam messages (excessive line breaks, continuous characters etc).

Challenge Ratings
- More or less duplicate the video rating system but alter code to rate the challenges instead.
- Lock ratings for challenges that have passed entry period.

Other stuff
- Set days left in current stage to correct number - If in entry period (entry-active), if in voting (voting-active), if in results (results-active).
- Entries value
- Challenge rating - show percentage after challenge receives 5+ ratings (plus votes/total votes * 100) whole number only, no decimals.

To do later
- If no one has entered a challenge when it goes into voting period skip straight to results period [set active=results+1] - add a notification to show that no one entered & offer tips to make future challenges more attractive to enter.

Zomg not slacking, trying to earn the money for Max Hits With Melee 3, need 1 more claw drop and I should be able to get back to recording for it.

Also making a few 'top ten' videos for a series Machinima is doing in the meantime, because all my current video ideas will take ages to make. XD

:P thanks

K I'm gonna start playing about with making an automatic events generator, shouldn't be very difficult, mostly just typing up pre-made event details (which i'll probably do later) and a simple program to randomly select one event each week.

This event thing is a little more complicated than I thought :P

Still fairly easy, the difficult bit is getting it to update at the right time and making the countdown timer accurate.

Rest is just crap to help me remember what I'm doing, I always work faster when I have a list of stuff I need to do XD


  • 9pm GMT (sat) - Run script to select a new event.

    - Select event category from the previous week's event, then set rand() range to select event_id from the next event category (boss killing->skills minigames->combat minigames->group skilling).
    - Once the next event_id has been chosen grab the event details from the database and insert them into this weeks event table along with the current time in seconds strtotime("now") then add 604,800 seconds onto that for the time of the next event (for the countdown timer).



  • 12pm GMT (sat) - Update xml document with new event details.

    - 3 hours after the event starts, run a script to copy the new event details from the database into the event xml document along with the time of next weeks event for the countdown timer.

  • Send an automatic tweet on my twitter account & post a facebook event (if possible with their api).

  • Update homepage - add small 300x50 banner in the event section for the weekly event, create a different one for every event.







Event Details to transfer to database

It's ok I'm making a few new accounts anyway like RSMDB_Boss etc that will cover all the boss monsters.

So they're easier for people to remember.

Ya the group skilling is.

The host of Epicninja.com and Sosolid2k.co.uk are starting to get on my nerves. The sites have been loading reallllly slow lately and it's having a big impact on the number of visits to the site (down over 50% in the past week lol). I can't even input the events data into the database using phpmyadmin because it literally takes between 1-2 minutes for ANYTHING to happen after you click on a link/button. It's slow as fuck.

So i'm mostly likely gonna start trying to get the sites onto a dedicated server. Just noticed that they have a dedicated server section hidden away in the site, but they only have a limited number of them, so I'm gonna have to phone them up tomorrow and see if I can get Epicninja signed up for one (sosolid2k.co.uk doesn't really earn enough in ad revenue to upgrade it yet, hopefully after challenges + events are done it might be ok to upgrade). If they won't give me a dedicated server for Epicninja I'll probably have to try find a new host, because in the current conditions the site is just gonna end up dying and no one is gonna use it anymore because it doesn't load properly.

Main concern is the cost, but hopefully if the site is faster it will grow and generate enough ad revenue to pay for it...

I'll probably start preparing a bunch of my old videos to upload to Machinima too, to help pay for it incase it takes a while for the sites to grow at first.

I'm like 95% sure that's why the sites never seem to go over a certain number of average visits, probably doesn't even load for some people when it's busy.
