Maps and Q's

Bram, Took me like 1/2 an hour to upload that bloody map last night, only to find i had uploaded a JPG!! Then had to go through it all again, let's just say my connection is bloody murder at the moment :(
Do you mind if you sort the size thing for me? and in future i'll upload at that size, Sorry! Man i need a fixed line connection, very annoyed this week with it all, as i have managed to get some downtime from the house, but back to it as of tonight !! so may not be around much this week. --_[admin] Logan Ford ^{• (talk)} 10:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

terminator mission

hey brammers, fixed some of the errors in the terminator quad mission, you can link the thn guide to the wiki now i think --Biglines 16:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Hahaha, I haven't done this for a while

Hey bram, as Im sure you noticed Ive been a bit busy with the wiki this evening, was working on the rewards section to add to the {{Mission}} by using another template within the Mission for the rewards ({{reward}}). However I have come a bit unstuck with the THN api, I cant seem to use the wiki template commands to pass a numerical itemid to the itemdb parser to fetch from the db. You can see what happens within the documentation for {{reward}}. Cheers! δφ (delphi) 21:13, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Yay - thanks bram, I had absolutely no idea where to go with the error it was giving me, I need to work some more on the styling of the rewards section, but it should bring the mission template together a bit more I hope! δφ (delphi) 12:15, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

More info

First noticed this on a video page - no video. Then I noticed it appears on most (if not all) pages on my IE8 installation... :( --StevenJ 01:21, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Windows mobile raredb app

hey brammers, I'm working on an app for my phone in order to more easily update my raredb from inside the game, and was working with loading in the exported CSV files, but then noticed there is no way to import them again. Is there a possibility for this? and if not, is there a way to upload in another way to the raredb? the website is just too large to work properly in the browser of a phone --Biglines 09:57, 25 September 2009 (UTC)`

I will gladly release any client I'd make, but not sure if I'm allowed to, seeing as the compact framework libraries are only supposed to work under the full version of visual studio (I've used the 30 day trial to install the libraries, now working from sharpdevelop (I'm not doing it in basic, but C#), which is open source, but dunno if this construct is allowed or not ;). also, isn't it possible to somehow simulate visiting the browser? .net should be able to formulate complete http requests, but don't have much experience with that--Biglines 15:40, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Been looking at the httprequest, and it seems pretty straight forward, most of it shouldn't be a problem, except maybe the cookie, as I'm not exactly sure what kind of cookie the raredb needs in order to authenticate me as a user, and whether C# can send this cookie. --Biglines 16:37, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

nah, they're used to compile, all windows mobile devices already have the compact framework installed. I'm still trying to find out if momo is possible to run on windows mobile, can't really find it anywhere :( should ask stevenJ... --Biglines 12:28, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I've got the httprequest thingies done for downloading information, and I used the csv download in order to not have to parse too much garbage (plus keep the data usage lower for people who're not on unlimited data plans). But I'm having trouble being able to upload something, mostly because I fail to see any sort of logic in the names of the form data, relating to the parts themselves. If there is no logic, I'll have to manually fill a table with the number relating to each part, but would much prefer it if there's some logic to it ;). could you enlighten me? (or is it for example possible to upload a csv formatted text?) also, is it possible to upload only changed data? (again to keep the data usage low) --Biglines 10:51, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

that would be great, would it also be possible to add the stock value to the comma seperated download? (at the moment it's just the parts, not the stock) --Biglines 09:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

just realized that i could probably make my own file with the part numbers, so no need to do anything with that, including the stock/inventory in the file export would be handy though. I'm currently experimenting with different interfaces, seeing as most windows mobile phones have limited screen space (mine is 640*480) --Biglines 00:21, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Pretty much done with the UI and loading of files, just need to make uploading work, and getting the stock from the website. --Biglines 22:07, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

bad news, seems like the cookieContainer that .net uses on pc is not available in the compact framework, so the project is on hold for a while, till i figure this out... (CF runs fine on windows, so I'm generally just testing the apps on the pc before transferring to test on my mobile device) --Biglines 22:22, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

NC HL2/orange box mod

hey brammers, I was thinking of setting up a wiki for the ncmod project, but then thought of this wiki, would you think we could use a section of this wiki to have design documents and overviews of what we have so far? --Biglines 19:57, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
