Map Description

Released: July 2001

My largest released map to date and also (of my releases thus far) the most complex. Layout is a bit too loopy, but architecturally I think I got a pretty good recreation of the original Black Mesa feel.

Ok, yea, you're right. They do work in the map descriptions and discussion threads underneath maps. I had thought I spotted a text smiley and figured something wasn't working right, but now that I've had time to double check, I don't think there is an issue. -False Alarm! :hee:

Just quickly checked and they do in the map descriptions and the discussion thread underneath the map.... is that where you mean?

They don't on the overlay text, but that's intentional.

I don't think smileys work in the discussion sections on map profiles...

When sorting by highest rated maps under ALL games it didn't put the highest rated maps first
I know I mentioned this before, but there was actually a problem with the way I'd designed the system that I didn't figure out earlier on account of me being thick.

There may still be some maps out of order when you sort by this option (and articles/dls for that matter), but I have now corrected the rating system and made it so that it is self correcting - that is, everytime someone rates a map the value which determines the sort order is recalculated, so if there are any maps being shown out of order just rate them and it'll fix it!

When viewing pictures on map profiles, if you press the button to view a different picture in the list, and then click on that picture to open it in a new window, the window will always show the first picture for that map, no matter which one you clicked on in the list. This is an issue on the other version of the site as well.
Fixed! (Ctrl+f5 to refresh the js if it doesn't work!)

What happened to my signature? It's blank now? ;(
One of the user database copies didn't fully complete - everything should be ok now.

The registration date for users listed on posts are all the same default "1969" date. But they're correct in profiles.
Just the column name changed on the database table and the script wasn't updated... if you see that anywhere else lemme know so I can make the change.

OMG! you can view between pages! What is this world coming to!? :flail:
I was checking my control panel in one FireFox tab, and had the HL forum open in another. After noticing my sig was gone, I changed the number of posts from 20 to 80 again and applied. When I switched to the HL forum, I went to the next page, and got some weird paging results as you can see.
It's not really a bug tbh. Say you are viewing 20 posts per page and are on page 5, the topic offset (the number from which records start being returned) would be 80 (ie you skip the first 80 posts and view 80-100). If you change the number of posts viewed to 30 and refresh the page then the offset is still 80, but because it's 30 posts per page it means you're now viewing page 2.67

If you do it with even numbers then you won't get a fraction, although all the page numbers will change.

Anyway, added code to take out the decimal places, but the way it's working is ok/the same.

A lot of the posts are missing their reply values and the author values. After page 3, I think they all are missing. -Is that too from the incomplete DB?
Yeah, just stuff missing from the forums/topics/posts tables, no worries :)
aha, just tried to post and it broke! :D fixed :p

This user: UltimateRugal when viewing the memberlist (he's listed on page 3) his profile is missing an entry and all his fields are miss-aligned for some reason.
