I've been making some maps and replacing some of the very big maps (and added quite a few that were missing)

(account deleted)Yeah! I’m the first user to comment on this site, right..?
Just thinking that it would be clearer and easier to distinguish places by an approximate level, and whether it is soloable.
You can upload any type of file to the wiki, as long as it's not too big - so that's not a concern.
Images (like png) can be embedded in a page, which is an advantage for those. Either of your files can be linked in a "click here to open" way to allow people to zoom in as far as needed themselves.
I guess what I'm saying is… not very helpful, just "either way can be made to work, so pick which is most convenient / looks best for you" ?^^
So I don't know how active the forums are here, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I have a mapping program that allows me to not only make maps, but it also shows colors to specify what area that room is part of, as well as showing if it's a safe zone or not. There's two ways I can save these maps. One way is saving them as a png image, and it looks like this: imgur . com /5Yk7bMs (remove spaces)
The problem is, I can't save big maps like this. If I zoom out too far, you can hardly see any detail, so big city maps would either have to be pieced together in Photoshop, or another solution must be found.
The other way is saving the map as an html file. It looks like this: imgur . com /fLtkbxu
The problem here is that it can ONLY be saved as an html file. It breaks links sometimes, and I don't know how to fix that if I can't save it as an image file. Plus, I don't know if I can upload html files to this site.
Anyone have any suggestions or preferences?

Hi everyone, Torch here.
Started messing with the wiki, guess not used much anymore. Still, I've been doing a lot of things once I came back from underwater and back to the game, so why not try to get this done and use a few run-on sentices and typos while I'm at it, am I right?
Added worlds - plan is to place links for each area under that section.
Once we get a lot of them done, we should prolly make this just a world index page, and let each world have its own page.
I figure we should give room counts for each area, if theres a quest(area/guild/otherwise), any special things (door has no key, must be cultist blasted), ect.
Anywho, putzin with it.
According to research by shane, xyzzyn, healinglight, madrados and nomad on march 7th 2013: "Dragon vuln when having sonic breath is 40% harm resistance is 20% sonic"
Second this. In my eyes the Wiki should contain solid numbers from tests, and exact or approximate formulas whenever possible. It would also be helpful to note changes in skills/spells, such as gain or loss of affecting stats, and bugs or previous bugs in the skills, along with dates or approximate dates they were fixed.
I wonder what is the point of copying information from retro helpfiles to the wiki.
My worries are the following:
1. Duplication of information is always bad. Sooner or later the wiki files will become not up to date, and thus misleading.
2. Are you actually testing all information from the retro helpfiles before copying them? History shows that the helpfiles in retro are often very inaccurate, and some things are virtually impossible to test. Why copy incorrect information?
I believe wiki should contain well tested information, in particular of the kind that is not clearly explained in the helpfiles. For example quantitative description of the effects, information about non-fixed bugs etc.

Hi everyone! Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be extensively updating all the guild, skill, spell, and helpfile links here on the Wiki. I also encourage each one of you to sign up as a member of the site and to create your own character page!
Let's get RetroWIKI out of the dark ages and turn it into a useful tool.
Thanks,
Karo
I already threw it in there for you, but it needs to have a parent site. When you save the page, scroll down to the bottom and click on More options, then click on Parents. Your parent for any character pages is "Characters". You can see what the parent needs to be by clicking on Character pages on the side, and then checking the breadcrumbs links at the top of the page.
once i write a charater page how do i get it to show up under char pages?
The last line of the Flynd description is missing an action to finish the gerund phrase modifying Flynd.
This is also present in the Retromud actual site.

i'm pretty sure comcreate is the only way, but there has to be some method of closing IE when the call is complete (or even just using firefox, which doesn't suffer from mem leaks nearly as much as IE does X-x)
EDIT: It looks like madSimon has fixed the leak issue for sure. Now let's start cleaning up that godawful output! ;)
The best way to do it is to simplify it. Lots of guilds get a combat skill, so just tag it as a combat skill.

Here's a slightly more readable version that also addresses the comcreate memory leak and the variable definition syntax. What it doesn't address is the ugly output, but we may need to think about the input as well.

}Hi again,
The world exits interface discussion page didn't seem appropriate, so I made this new thread to talk about more general scripting stuff.
In a similar theme to the world exits I posted before, I also have almost the same script to check the time on Sosel.
It will tell you the time in Sosel hours, and also how long (in real life Earth minutes) till the next sunrise or sunset.
From what I have observed it is reasonably accurate. Again, it's a terrible hack and comments are welcome.
#ALIAS soseltime {timeprogress = 1
#VARIABLE timeobject %comcreate( "InternetExplorer.Application")
timeurl="http://70.86.15.74:3003/cgi/calendar?=fire"
#CALL @timeobject.Navigate(@timeurl)
#ECHO Looking for Sosel time…
timecheck 0}
#ALIAS timecheck {timeout=15
#IF {!@timeobject || %1 > @timeout} {#ECHO Timed out!
timeprogress=0
timeobject=0} {#IF {@timeobject.ReadyState==4} {timeprogress=0
#ECHO It is %copy( @timeobject.document.body.innertext, 24, 5) on Sosel.
soselminutes = %eval( %copy( @timeobject.document.body.innertext, 24, 2)*88+%copy( @timeobject.document.body.innertext, 27, 2))
#IF (@soselminutes < 235) {#ECHO It is %round( (235-@soselminutes)/12) minutes till sunrise.} {#IF (@soselminutes<620) {#ECHO It is %round( (620-@soselminutes)/12) minutes till sunset.} {#ECHO It is %round( (1035-@soselminutes)/12) minutes till sunrise.}}
timeobject=0} {#ALARM {+1} {timecheck %eval( %1+1)}}}}

Yeah, it's nasty. When I was looking at the original script from the eq database I had to remove most of the comments, error checking and formatting just to figure out how it worked.
The only part I'm still not happy with is using almost the same %match command 3 times to find the right piece of text. If anyone knows a shorter way to do that, let me know. I think maybe the regex command, but not sure how it works.
Since the output is not very pretty with this method of capturing the web page as text, I don't think it's worth writing a more friendly script right now.
Also, no, I don't know any other way than using comcreate. I'm not a programmer, I'm not even sure why any of this works. I'm just good at hacking up what other people have done.
