Your chance to fix the help menu in continuum.

 

As you may or may not know the help menu is screwed up.

 

What you may not know is how it works

 

basically it directs all requests to one website that then redirects them to the correct location

 

My recommendation would be for sscentral to setup a simple redirector that does this,

i can then patch menu039pre1.dll ( http://forums.sscentral.com/index.php?showtopic=15677 ) to use for example http://rdr.sscentral.net/?site=

instead of the current old sscuservers.net that doesnt seem to be updated

 

I can also rename these menu items, to new names. So Subspace HQ could become GetContinuum for example

 

links currently used in subspace

SubSpace HQ http://rdr.sscuservers.net/?site=subspacehq

SubSpace Net http://rdr.sscuservers.net/?site=subspacenet

Tech Forumhttp://rdr.sscuservers.net/?site=techsupport (works still)

Tech FAQshttp://rdr.sscuservers.net/?site=faq

Report Bughttp://rdr.sscuservers.net/?site=reportbug

Subspace Central http://rdr.sscuservers.net/?site=sscentral (works still)

Player Scoreshttp://rdr.sscuservers.net/?site=scores

Players Guidehttp://rdr.sscuservers.net/?site=guide

Subspace Downloadshttp://rdr.sscuservers.net/?site=subspacedownloads (works still)

That's a brilliant idea. It would be far more efficient than just set links, which could vanish in some point in time and then just be a useless waste of bytes.

Doesn't this need to be done by priitK?

Editing files causes checksum mismatches.

[»CypherJF]

I don't believe the menu libraries are checksumed to the server (and if so, why, its not like you can cheat by hacking the menu), are they?

Editing files causes checksum mismatches.

Normally it would. I've found a way around this problem

 

I suggest you read this thread, try my patched menu039pr1.dll and see if it DOES cause checksum mismatches.

being that i've played in TW for the last 4 hours with this dll installed, without anyone complaining (on my staff and none-staff name i add)

i think i've got around it the protection on the dll file.

This is possible WITHOUT Prittk. Time to start updating this stuff if he's not going to do it.

doc, you are a brilliant man. keep up the good work.

proposed php file template to go on http://rdr.sscentral.com/

 

would have to be called index.php

 

<?php

switch ($_REQUEST["site"]) {
case "subspacehq":
header("Location: << ??? >> ");
break;
case "subspacenet":
header("Location: << ??? >> ");
break;
case "techsupport":
header("Location: << ??? >> ");
break;
case "faq":
header("Location: << ??? >> ");
break;
case "reportbug":
header("Location: << ??? >> ");
break;
case "sscentral":
header("Location: http://www.sscentral.com ");
break;
case "scores":
header("Location: << ??? >> ");
break;
case "guide":
header("Location: << ??? >> ");
break;
case "subspacedownloads":
header("Location: http://www.subspacedownloads.com");
break;

}


?>

 

Noticed someone has just changed something to do with the http://rdr.sscuservers.net/ and most, but not all of the links now work,

 

Be nice if they could reply to this thread, cos some of the links arn't quite right, you broke the technical support forum link which worked before.

TW isn't set to kick for checksum mismatches. Does the bot display sysop errors on the staff chat still? If not have you asked PL if he has seen any errors?

 

These errors generally tell a sysop that the user may be cheating or hacking.

I don't think any errors are generated, ive been to most of the SSC zones without problem.

C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER.

 

Sorry just couldn't resist.

[rootbear75]

doc, stop bumping please....

[»doc flabby]

doc, stop bumping please....

im gonna keep bumping untill its fixed.

[rootbear75]

someone fix it fast !!

[PoLiX]

Noone has any clue who did it. I mentioned it to GS, but he didn't know who updated it all either.

 

So this bumping is pointless. Topic closed since it has died off.

Just a bit of info, as far as I know sscuservers.net is owned by Priitk. Good luck with that
