Good idea.

Getting a strange thing with the website at the moment. When I try to go to http://bumcheekcity.com/kol/profile.php?u=darzil (or other name) it works if I use Firefox 3.6, but tries to download profile.php if I use IE 9. Have seen the IE behaviour on more than one computer, and other sites using php (like this one) work fine.

You reported this a couple days ago and I checked but it was fine, so I assumed you just hit some kind of weird error on my host's part. I can't debug it, I'm afraid, though it being on more than one computer it a little concerning

 

[quizkidpatrick]

Yep, I figured it out thanks

Tried the page on the w3.org validator I use on my websites (after struggling with issues around firefox), and it found a few things it didn't like, not sure if any of these might be the cause :

The following notes and warnings highlight missing or conflicting information which caused the validator to perform some guesswork prior to validation, or other things affecting the output below. If the guess or fallback is incorrect, it could make validation results entirely incoherent. It is highly recommended to check these potential issues, and, if necessary, fix them and re-validate the document.
 
Contradictory Parse Modes Detected!

The validator can process documents either as XML (for document types such as XHTML, SVG, etc.) or SGML (for HTML 4.01 and prior versions).

 This document was served with HTTP headers declaring it as MIME Media Type (utf-8), for which the parsing mode should be utf-8. However, the document's DOCTYPE Declaration indicates XML mode. 



Following the rules of Web Architecture, validation proceeded using the utf-8 mode based on the Content-Type header. 

Fixing this conflict involves either setting the Content-Type header, using a known document type or adding an XML declaration (in the case of XML-based documents).


 Namespace Found in non-XML Document

 Namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" found, but the -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN document type is not an XML document type! 


Conflict between Mime Type and Document Type

The document is being served with the utf-8 Mime Type which is not a registered media type for the Document Type. The recommended media type for this document is: application/xhtml+xml

Using a wrong media type for a certain document type may confuse the validator and other user agents with respect to the nature of the document, and you may get some erroneous validation errors. How to fix this problem? One of the following techniques should help:
•If you are serving a static file on a Web server, changing its extension should help. Use e.g .xhtml for XHTML or .mml for MathML. 
•You may need to reconfigure your Web server. This Setting up MIME Types tutorial has instructions for Apache, Tomcat and IIS.
 •If the document is generated dynamically, the scripting language should allow you to set up the mime type: this article on MIME Types and Content Negotiation has examples in PHP, Perl, and ASP.

I'm getting the same issue on IE and Opera. Firefox and Chrome work fine. Even on just bumcheekcity.com (no profile) it is trying to download the php file.

 

[bumcheekcity]

I've asked my host, they may have changed something.

 

[Darzil]

And they may have fixed it. It's working for me in IE 9 today.

 

[Bale]

It's definitely fixed. This is also working in Opera again.

i've got an annoying bug where the script stalls out at 'Updating map files...' and doesn't progress for over 10 minutes. anybody have an idea what may be causing this?

 

[Theraze]

Your system isn't able to hit zarqon's server and waits 10 minutes to time out...?

 

[Winterbay]

Or rather bcc's server, but the gist of it still stands

 

[Theraze]

True... I see that message and I always expect it to be the bat-server from deep inside the bat-cave.

I have a question, and a suggestion regarding the profiles generated by this script.

1) The question: I notice the two newest Thwaitegold statues aren't included yet, nor is the Reagnimated Gnome. Will the website soon be updated to include these items?

2) the suggestion: The Uncle Hobo gear is included with the rest of the Hobopolis stuff, while the Necbromancer's gear is included with stuff you buy for Hobo Nickels. Neither of these item groups are an ideal fit where they are currently placed in my humble opinion. Have you considered making a separate section for limited-time clan dungeon loot? There may be more in the future.

 

[Bale]

the Necbromancer's gear is included with stuff you buy for Hobo Nickels.

At least that fits better than the Underworld weaponry right above it since that isn't from a clan dungeon nor does it belong under the headings of hats, pants, accessories.

I must admit that I did not even know what those Underwolrld items are all about, until I checked the wiki just now. That's why I didn't mention them.

Now I know what they are, I'd like to see those moved off into a different place too. As I understand it, they are items from a retired world event. The snapshot doesn't individually track items from other world events, though it tracks tattoos based on outfits from those events.

As for the Uncle Hobo gear, I admit that my main reason for wanting it moved is that it spoils my otherwise rapidly growing collection of green squares in the Hobopolis section.

 

[Winterbay]

Well, the Uncle Hobo stuff is from that dungeon, even though it is now retired so it fits rather well there I'd say. There are other thing in the boxes which are currently completely unavailable and I'm fine with that.

You mean in the other sections, right? I'm unaware of anything in the Hobopolis loot box which is unavailable other than Uncle Hobo.

I accept your point, though. Maybe Uncle Hobo could be moved to the bottom of the list, so he doesn't break up the order of the standard bosses.

If that suggestion was accepted, I'd hope the bosses could also be re-arranged so that they are listed in the order that their zones are unlocked.

Just so it doesn't sound like I'm bitching and moaning, I love the script and website. I just could see the potential to alter the layout a little.

BCC already stated that his Snapshot was meant to torture completionists. Maybe he meant to torture OCD players too, in one master stroke of evil.
