Hello all, I'm a decent frequenter here, and I'd like to make a little project here. Originally inspired by macman104's trophy manager, I wish to make a set of scripts that are updated as new trophies and tattoos are added. This repository is pretty awesome for the almost wiki like contribution style. I'll explain what I mean. I'm also rather curious if people want to go as far as to add on hints and such as to mention how to get said trophies or tattoos.
First thing of order...It is not very hard to write the main scripts that can do this. It's the constant updating required that bugs me.
I have two ideas (as of now) of how to approach this.
1) We all add each trophy hand by hand.
2) PERL SCRIPT!
Right now, I definitely don't have the time for 1 and I don't have the knowledge to do 2.
In any case, finding a standard for the data entry is probably going to be the meat of the discussion.
Indexing trophies by their numbers and linking them in a map to their filenames is no problem.
Tattoos are harder. Unless we just give them arbitrary indices.
Also, tattoo page to parse: "account_tattoos.php"
Trophy page to parse (this is what drove macman crazy): "trophies.php"
Anyways, thanks for reading a post that was too long. @_@
