Chewett

So, Im back from a vacation and have rediscovered my love for coding and scripting things. As such, recently iv written a lot of different code that does lots of different things with MD. And although i have some rare creatures, compared with my contemporaries i lack many cool things (dont have a morph for example). Therefore i need some coin to buy stuff. So i am selling my services to anyone who wishs to employ me. I have extensive knowledge of: Javascript - used to create fun little scripts to show hide, move, and manipulate web pages which can turn a normal html page into something fun - [url="http://magicduel.com/players/chewett"]Example: My Personal Page[/url] MDScript - I have created numerous large and small appliactions in MDScript, With the Post office being banned because it went around what Mur wanted. I have the ability to edit items and all grades of clickables. PHP - MDScript is the "copy" of PHP. It can be used for large scale applications that can interfer and talk to MD automatically. Such examples are accounts that log themselves into MD and do things. I will freely discuss any scripts you want to run by me for no charge. All parts of the code that you commission me for will be discussed at length and a price will be discussed for the work. If you want any additional work or the nature of the work changes then we will again discuss the changes and the price changes. However, the cost will be a maximum. Because i find coding fun if i enjoy doing what you are paying me to do i might do it for free and give you the deposit you paid back. If im having fun then its enough payment for doing something for you. If you want any help or advice with scripts i will gladly do this free of charge. Here is a small list of scripts i have written, which have some relevence on MD. [b]Tainted Angien Checker[/b] - Partially In Use - I was the first to code up a clicky for checking if an angien was tainted on the talking rock at GoE. I replace it there every now and then during festivals and such when angiens may possibly be tainted but a pernament one is avalible on Burns Clickable in MDP. [b]Automatic Login and scripting of Accounts[/b] - Blocked - Captcha has disabled this project currently because Mur didnt like it. [b]Automatic quest characters talking[/b] - Blocked - Due to the captcha. Mur didnt like the ability to automate these things. Might make a comeback depending on the wookie magic. [b]MD Post Office[/b] - Removed - This was a script that allowed people to leave messages for others to pick up. Mur then changed the rules regarding MD Scripts so he asked me to remove it. [b]Lho Application Script [/b]- In Use - Grido commissioned this from me, and i wrote it using MD Script. There is an advanced version in the pipeline that has been in devolpment for a while. But Grido pays badly... Well, not at all! [b]Personal Pages[/b] - In Use - Currently they are running some nice little javascript to display infomation. Simple little script. [b]Colourful Mood Panel[/b] - Blocked - Mur didn't like this due to the fact it was adding colours and would add technical issues when/if the mood panel gets changes. Hence he blocked the development and release of this script. Although i do use it for easier display of information. [center][center][b]----------------------------------------------------------[/b] If you want your papers to stand out from others, Or want to have a look at running a MDscript related quest look no further! [b]Special Offer! Wix pages are so hideous my eyes pysically hurt when viewing them! Therefore if you have a wix page and want to turn it into a normal html page, with some special effects similar to mine then i will do it for half the price![/b] [/center][/center] [center][center][b]----------------------------------------------------------[/b] [/center][/center] [center][center][size=5]Contact me for any questions, pricing or help needed with any Script!

So, a while back Mur announced this: [quote]Ann. 621 - [2008-12-28 18:16:52 - Alpha 8] Custom personal page layouts are now supported. To customize your personal page you need to upload a file names homepage.tpl in your personal files. To do so, open any document you have, edit it, and try to set a link on any word in it. Once the link settings dialog appears, click to upload a file (you can remove the link after). Once the homepage.tpl file is found in your personal folder, the player homepage will load that layout instead of the default one. Inside the template page you can use these tags to display predefined content sections anywere you like: [toplinks],[adepts],[equipment],[alliance],[creatures],[advertising],[adventurelog],[character],[weaponsets],[doc1],[doc3],[doc4],[doc5],[doc6] . You dont need to set html headers , just the layout. Also the background of the page is set by default. More sections, samples and changes will be done to this in the future, this is not final but you can start to use it. [b]PM me if you managed to create a nice layout and i might use it for a samples gallery.[/b][/quote] And since iv just finished mine, I thought we might have a forum topic where people can show off their Good Personal papers. [url="http://magicduel.com/players/chewett"]Here is my Page[/url] [attachment=3150:personal page.jpg] Use this thread if you want to comment on anyone's Personal papers, or add your own, im kinda hoping mur will use some of these also.

[quote name='Vicarious' timestamp='1314546983' post='90919'] Well, the idea is that, if you join the K Doc, you must submit your own piece of information. You can't just mooch off of it. Right? So... instead of it being completely free, which people will take advantage of it, I decided that people should earn the right to view it. AKA, the K Doc. From what I know, K Docs are hardly ever used anymore, so I wanted a way to get it started up again. For instance, I have had over 20 people as me for my resource map. I declined pretty much all of them because they offered nothing in return. (I never wanted items, or creatures or anything tangible) I was hoping they would trade information. And Awiiya was the first and only to do so. Wait, aren't K Docs locked? O.o [/quote] As grido has said, i have said yours is publicly open. Are you sure you pressed some of the buttons correctly?

added a poll since i like polls

[quote]News: PM to Email You can now be notified by email of personal messages you receive on MD. Settings for this feature can be changed in your options page. [/quote] Is it a good idea to be this on for default? you can get a lot of PM's and me for one would really consider this as spam if i joined a new game. Surely this would be most likely to get MD listed as a spammer on mail servers for this? if it was disabled as default, then people would enable it if they wanted it, then it would mean you wouldnt get spammed tons when you got a pm. I hate it when any website decides to contact me without me wanting it.

[quote name='Vicarious' timestamp='1314542379' post='90906'] Awiiyas. [/quote] [quote name='Vicarious' timestamp='1314539244' post='90899'] It has been released? It's in a K Doc. [/quote] The contents of the K doc is at odds with what you have said, Espically this part [quote]This map will become an integral part of MD. It is to be used, but not shared. The only people with access to it are those in this K Doc. If you wish to share it, please ask my permission. I can't enforce this, but it is my wish and I hope that you will respect it. I spent a lot of time and effort gathering this information, and I hope that you can share my enthusiasm by allowing it to remain as a K Doc.[/quote] Because currently that K doc is public, Which the contents of is, seems to say it is only avalible to those in the K Doc. Any clarification?

Oh, Your post didnt seem to include that infomation when i checked, Whose?

Added people and data up onto it! But we are still lacking some lands, Or up to date information. Thanks everyone for participating.

The location of resources is something that i feel everyone should know, and i was glad to see that Sieghart would be releasing this data, And although there have been many comments asking when it would be released, why and such. It hasnt happened. So here it is, I shall be collecting a list of the resources at a location and posting it here. If you would like to help, say you have already collected the infomation then you can pm me to me and i will add them to my document that will DEFINITELY be posting for FREE. Marind Bell: The Warrior, Kyphis Necrovion: The Warrior No Mans Land: The Warrior, Kyphis MDA: The Warrior, Kyphis Loreroot: The Warrior GG: The Warrior, Kyphis Tribunal: Kyphis, VonUngernSternberg, Grido Underground: The Warrior, Kyphis Labyrinth: Kyphis [s]Currently we dont have any data, i shall be working on a specific area once i have had some feedback on what others have already.[/s] Im slowly getting some information from people, Currently im looking for any and all data from any lands, no matter if we have it or not. This is so that we can try and get a full picture, if any resources were added or changed from when the people collected the data. After a couple days of getting data, there may be a specific area we are lacking new or current data, So then i will ask specifically for people to go get some data. I have a tonn of AP like most vets, so will probably venture into tribunal to check and collect some data. Thanks for all who are sending information my way!

So, Slightly shorter but im back mostly. New ways to entertain me have been found, And luckily they do still include MD. anything can be send to me as im just another mod. Forum changes shall be done over this weekend to catch up on the work. as for the reason, well people <> me off quite a lot. But ignorance is bliss.

New rules regarding this topic: [b]Ann. 1999 - [2011-08-23 06:25:02 - Stage 11][/b] No more item transfers between potential alts Items can no longer be transfered between what MD considers to be "alts". I say it this way because not all accounts restricted by the altchecker are alts, some are different people accessing md from same network, others are accounts "borrowed" for active days keeping to friends (md tags them as alts then) others are not even that. This might be damaging for people that live in same place and can no longer exchange items in md, but the benefits of restricting alts from item/resources transfer are far more important. This should slow down (at least a bit) potential future abuses related to the shared tools acquiring and resource hoarding.

its obvious, If in the end one account which didnt have the goods, gets the payment its abuse. If you give the coins directly to him, he could still trade them away. If he bypasses the system then he should face the punishment. And yeah, if you are really worried send them to him or dont trade with him.

[color="#CCCCCC"]Ann. 1325 - [2010-03-07 20:29:18 - Alpha 9][/color] [b]New rule regarding Prison[/b] Players that get into prison, with an alt or with their main account, can have their alts or main banned without reason. It will usualy not be without reason, but the reasons won't be explained. I am tired of prison visiting by making accounts named "Mur" or of some of you to consider prison irrelevant since they play several accounts anyway. To avoid abuse, the only one to decide who's alts or mains can get banned under this rule it will be me, Mur. IMPORTANT: Alts or mains banned under this rule will have an undefined release time, meaning they will probably stay there much longer than the initial ban., IF they will ever get out. [b]NOTE: Anyone creating alts to visit prison will get a permanent visit there. Persistance in a crime will get you a permanent IP ban, regardless of your active days count, reputation or role.[/b]

why not just make it mp5 and resolve all the issues immediately?

You reliese there is a guild Called the "crafters guild" Which is mainly for people who can create items. Exatly what you described it seemed. You seem to get getting neg reputation since you do not seem to have asked anyone else what exists.

Your friends will ever be here, You are in our thoughts.

Yeah, i wouldnt really shout at the necro people for not using their historic documents, Since no land is using them, Nor have i seen the archivests writing up events and such. [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/8590-necrovion-succession/page__view__findpost__p__90420"]This topic[/url] was probably the closest, where peace tells everyone that only a necrovion should write up the events, and that she wants patience. Yet i would have thought the main event has happened, it would have been a perfect time to write it up.

Spam does work... Hence thats why they continue to spam. The amount of "spam" email that is sent out, they make money off it so that it continues to do business. Its just a business, they don't sent all that Viagra out for no reason, people do buy this rubbish! Its a quite nice little business plan, infect some computers, use their bandwidth, peddle your drugs. Kerching!

Some of you may remember me asking for a show of response from anyone interested in being a forum mod. This was to gauge if there was anyone who would be a good replacement if anyone were to leave or other such event. Many of the people who applied did so becuase they "would help if help was needed" which is wonderful, however a little more dedication is needed (someone did quite honestly say "they wanted spells in MD, which is rather... at odds to what it is). But one person has been bothering me for a while, applying and re applying commenting that i hadnt "said anything" about their application. And however much he applied at that time we didnt need another mod. However things change and we must prepare, so he shall certainly be welcomed to the moderation team well. I want to Thanks Burns for applying these multiple times, and achieving a place on the moderation team, I offer him my congratulations and my best luck for his work. Thank you everyone else who has applied, if things go as they might, we might be needing another, so we have noted your names down.

Actually reverse image searches such as tineye work really well for large images. However if you try with the small avatars, finding the results has a much lower, if close to none likelyhood of finding them. This is due to the fact that the images are made transparent and turned into gif, a frankly horrible format for preserving quality. Back when there was a lot of avatar stealing, in Fenrirs case when he stole a bunch of images and claimed they were his own, i used some of these reverse images tools to check any other "suspicious" avatars, however using them i think i found one only due to the amount that the image had been changed from the original. These sites work well for many images larger than 300*300 but the smaller you get its harder to make a match due to the general algorithm used. In asking for the avatar to be converted to transparent, and MD added, you actually change a large amount of the pixels, since the background is the majority of any image, i did find more sucess by removing the MD and adding a slightly off white color to similate the "paper" it would have been drawn on. However even then it only produced a match on this one avatar, which was one we had already known about, which didnt help anyway since that was one that someone else had identified and i was checking if the tool actually worked. I think you will find, that using such a tool on the avatars, wont produce any results, even if the image is well known. But it is a good idea, if it doesnt work practically.

But you cannot infinately deplete a resource, It would follow a better pattern if there was a large reserve, say 100 or so, That would increase as a normal resource does.

Make it so there is a limit to gather the resources, and sounds really good.

[quote name='Passant the Weak' timestamp='1313595439' post='90323'] You should delete it and send it via email as mur requested: it's not that safe to make it public. [/quote] Not that safe? Something that every single website you visit has access to, is not very safe to make public? Hell, there is even an IP next to every single post you make for admin's. Knowing an IP is like knowing where someone lives, You know they are home, but wont nesscarily be able to get past their and their ISP's defences to access their computer. But i guess a mod hid it.

Few people have impressed me in that short space of time, as him. Following the lead of his Mentor Rhaegar he has produced intresting research to be proud of. And Before i leave, I am proud to promote him to a Full Member. He has worked very hard, And i hope to see him work for the good of the alliance and the land, as a full member of the Seekers of Enlightenment. Congratluations, To Maebius!
