since that would entail my having to redo all of the member bits

We should be able to make that "data-driven" from a set of database tables - ISTR that you can now "layer" webpages with and i-frames - so if the various parts were stored seperately, they could be "hooked together" as needed - could include personalised blades/handles and images as well - this would also have the advantage that updating would merely need the new scores bringing in!

Couple of problems with that:

1) IE does not support PNG alpha blending, so fitting everything together would look REALLY bad using just gif transparency. (I already looked at doing the rank insignias separately before I redid the site, and had to forget it because most people use IE...)

2) I don't have the programming expertise to do this sort of thing....

At most, the best we could do is just give the insignias plain white background colors and make a script that would arrange the members images by score and add the proper insignia in a floating DIV. But again I can't do this so we'd need to find somebody else to do it for us...

Bascially though, as long as the roster requires me to intervene in any way, it isn't really that much bettter than doing it all by hand. And I don't mind the normal updates, since that just means checking the roster against the bot page and moving a couple people around and updating their pictures. It's just a total overhaul of the rank system that I'm against

Well I've managed to find a way to at least free myself from redoing the images for rank changes. On the downside, I'll still have to change the HTML to update it, unless we can get idle to help

Note: DIVs/LAYERs/IFRAMEs aren't going to do what we need. In order to assemble the images on the fly we'd need to be able to position the elements "absolutely relative" to the base image. Unfortuantely there is no such setting (only relative, which puts it wherever it is in the code, absolute which is based on specific coords on the page itself, and float which is closest but cannot be superimposed over other content), so doing that is pretty much not going to happen. I've figured out a way that will work for the ranks at least, by making the image the bg of a table and placing the rank insignia in a cell along the right, with the left filled by a transparent spacer that can be clicked to go to the MV page.

We are growing our distance from the MWC and we are getting closer to the Special Forces.

Hey quick question, how does one change player name info and email stuff through the website?

#1561 by Veteran Disciple777 - 11/22/2003 10:44:43 PM

To change e-mail you have to notify Stardock by sending them an e-mail and telling them to update your account to the new e-mail, to change your name I will find you the link, just give me few minutes.

I'm a Jedi Master now! Kryo, could I have the lightsaber handle that GA Sherbert and Obi Wan have next time you update the web site.
