Small thing, can you put a space between "members with X bars" and the first name, and make that text bold and italics? And possibly centered? I would say it's ready to use after that point.

So I will add the descriptions for those who don't have them? And after I do, it'll recognize that and use it next time I run it?

There's supposed to be a space there, but it doesn't seem to be adding it. I figure you can fix those couple lines yourself (or just copy and paste the users for each section). But I'll set it up so you can change that text in the config and it'll put it in automatically.

For users without descriptions you just add their name and description to the descriptions file and it will handle it automatically in the future. You don't even have to put them in the file in any specific order, you just have to make sure the name is correct. For example:


magico13. Magico13 has a description 
Endersmens. [COLOR="#123456"] He's running this show!

For username colors to work (since usernames must be precise and have a period after them) I made it so if the description starts with a color, that color gets applied to the username. So you can't color the first word of a description unfortunately, but that won't come up often. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to color urls. I'm still looking into it.

Edit: Does this color work? NathanKell. Creator of a variety of wonderful mods, including Deadly Reentry and Real Solar System, as well as a distinguished "Modder-ator."

yes! Ok, colors will work with links now :)

Edit2. Cpt. Kipard has a period in his name... that makes it unable to find his description. Looks like I need to switch to a different thing than a period in the description file. Anyone know off hand what things are forbidden in the usernames? Umm, maybe I'll just go with a tab, since that's probably the least used?

Final edit for the night: Here is the download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o10npdemy67apa9/LightGreenUpdater.zip?dl=0

I've licensed it as MIT since everything on the forums needs a license.

The LGU_settings.txt file must stay in the same folder as the .exe (which is a .net application targeting .NET 3.5 like KSP). Inside that file you can change a few things:

  • searchURL: The URL to use when making the search. [pageNUMBER] gets replaced automatically with what page of the search it should be on (since we can only view 30 at a time)
  • DescriptionFile: Points to where the descriptions are held
  • OutputFile: Where you want the final thing to output
  • NewMemberTxt: What the description for members who aren't in the description list should be
  • NameSeparator: When it outputs, it uses Username"separator" Description. By default, it's period (magico13. Desc). Change it to something else (like : ) to get (magico13: desc)
  • Bars6 through Bars1: The text to display between regions with different bar levels

The descriptions file just requires one username - description pair per line with the following format

USERNAME[tab]DESCRIPTION

(ie, magico13\t Description)

It has a few special tricks. Setting the start of the description to (or any other colors) will color the username with that color. You should also enter these as if you were typing them into the forum post (so use the SIZE= and [i /i] tags [purposefully trying to avoid triggering them, you get the idea]). Don't enter colors as anything except the hex value. I stupidly put a fixed size in there and forgot to change that (so you can't use COLOR=RED for instance). If the user's description is just "Ignore" (w/o quotes) then they'll be ignored. Currently that's just used for the SQUAD users.

I think that basically sums it all up!

Edit2. Cpt. Kipard has a period in his name... that makes it unable to find his description. Looks like I need to switch to a different thing than a period in the description file. Anyone know off hand what things are forbidden in the usernames? Umm, maybe I'll just go with a tab, since that's probably the least used?

Isn't programming "funâ„¢"? ;)

Same with Roverdude and Porkjet (and Arsonide, but he doesn't seem to be on the list).

I didn't read it all, just noticed NathanKell first. :)

I will be able to test this out tonight, if it works well, I can update it tonight. The new people in the group won't have descriptions, but for the sake of updating I will do that after I update it. Once it starts working smooth enough, you might be able to expect multiple updates per week. maybe. :P

Wat.

Someone wrote...an actual program...to count the amount of silly green internet points people on a space game forum have?

Well.

Yes, and you and me and some other folks sent him some silly green internet points to thank him. Now if someone reps our posts because of our clever observations, he'll have to modify the program to account for this recursion...which will no doubt net magico13 even more rep...inspiring additional witty comments...driving the program to nth order complexity and destroying the Forum as we know it. Oh well, it's been a good ride.

Well.

It's more that I wrote a translator. The thing that counts the silly green points is the forum software itself, which not only counts them but was also the creator of these specific green points. All I do is translate the ordered list of members it provides, into an ordered list in a different form. Besides, I like little projects like this that only take a few hours to implement :D

Now, it would get far more complex if I actually tried to count how much rep everyone has, since the forum doesn't tell me that in the search results. I'd have to extract that out of the user's profile page. Thankfully I am told the link to that page, so it wouldn't be too hard, but then it's less of a translation ;) Doing it for everyone on the forum would take hours, and I'd probably be told not to do that anymore by the Squad employees :cool:

Yes, and you and me and some other folks sent him some silly green internet points to thank him. Now if someone reps our posts because of our clever observations, he'll have to modify the program to account for this recursion...which will no doubt net magico13 even more rep...inspiring additional witty comments...driving the program to nth order complexity and destroying the Forum as we know it. Oh well, it's been a good ride.

Thankfully the program always grabs the latest data, so it shouldn't create a snowball effect that destroys the forums (and the world! muahahahaha!) It'll just be a little out of date until it gets run again.

But keeping a running list of every user's reputation, including all transactions (who sends rep to who, and when)... I could make that happen... I could become the REPUTATION OVERLORD! MUAHAHAHAHAHA! INFINITE TINY GREEN FAKE INTERNET POWAH! (why do we not have a laughing kerbal icon? Normal or evil, both variants would be nice)

Oh no, you're giving me ideas. Don't do that! I could write something that will you give an estimate of how long until you get to a certain rep level. But that might be a little too excessive :P Estimating yourself is ok, writing a program to make arranging the list easier (thus saving someone a lot of time) is ok, but writing a program to estimate how long it will take until you get to a certain amount of rep is definitely over a line.

I still want to do it though :D I probably won't. But now I'm thinking of how many different ways you can come up with an estimate: based on how quickly you got the last 15 reps (what you can see on your profile), based on your rep/total time since registration (aka, your average over all the time you've been here), and looking at rep/post count/posts per day.

And now I want to sort everyone by their rate of rep gaining just to get some solid data on who and what gets the most rep the fastest. I fear that knowledge might promote attempts to gain rep for "the wrong reasons", though.

Write a program to rep everyone at the speed that they got the last 15 points. ;)

Rep@HOME distributed computing of reputation giving ;) Everyone donates their computers and/or profiles to the greater good. The greater good being repping ME! (and then later on other people).

Clearly, the best way to get rep yourself is to give me your reputation (and login credentials).

(Note: this is a joke. For the love of Kraken don't give me your login credentials)

Looks like I have six bars. Squad, feel free to migrate to the new forum software.

It's "imminent". Just like 1.0.3 was "imminent".

No, they won't be rolled out at the same time, as that would cause chaos.

I don't know if rep will be carried over. Probably.

Light Green Group, Now More Up To Date Than Ever!

The list has been updated, thanks to magico13's magic program that spits out the list for me. I haven't written in the new descriptions yet, for the sake of pushing the update, but the list is 100% up to date with the time this message was posted. Descriptions will slowly trickle in.

Thanks guys, hope you enjoy!

-Ender :)
