Warning: Division by zero in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/snarkpit.net/httpdocs/functions.php on line 120

is that just me or everyone has that problem?

(btw how the remove those spaces between lines its annoying)

There may be a few of these warnings popping up, I just changed the error reporting level...

Yeah, I get em too. Plus I occasionaly see a "website b0rked" screen when I click a link.

Aaaaahhhh It's so slooooooowwwwww. It takes me on average 1.5 minutes to load a page. It doesn't do that with any other websites. Is there a problem that's going to get resolved or am I stuck to sit with anger while it loads?

I have not got a clue why it's going so slow right now, it's fine 99% of the time. I'll drop them an e-mail and ask.

Well, as long as it's not like this all the time then I'm okay, it's just unbearable.

I get this in the smilies area when ever im posting something:

Warning: post_message(forums/browsers/moz_smilies.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/snarkpit.net/httpdocs/forums/post.php on line 48

Maybe you on it already, but I think it has something to do with firefox browser, as it works in IE just fine.

hi2all :smile:

after trying the .com for several weeks i tried googling and im glad i found the new snarkpit url :smile:

now i can spend my spare time here again, yay

i have the same problem with slowness though

For some reason, with the recent changes in map page format, I can't
watch a map or post a new review anymore. Am I missing
something? Is it just my FireFox browser that's preventing me
from posting?

Whoops, fixed :redface:

Whenever I try to go to http://www.snarkpit.net/pits/rumple (and any
other files/directories in my pit) I get a 403 Forbidden error

Forbidden

Lep, I just noticed that my average map rating seems to be zero... I know my maps are bad, but zero? :wink:

Edit: also my map's zip file hosted here at http://www.snarkpit.net/maps/HL/skull_cave.zip :is empty and it's size is only 22KB.

Edit2: My pit seems empty too. I know I should PM you, but I thought I might as put it in with the rest of the annoying stuff..

Whenever I try to go to http://www.snarkpit.com/pits/rumple (and any other files/directories in my pit) I get a 403 Forbidden error

The URL should be www.snarkpit.net. You have to keep an eye out for that. The transition from the old URL to the new one is guaranteed to be painful.

oops i actually did mean to write '.net' just so used to '.com'.

edit: well it seems to be working now but any files with an hyphen in their name the hyphen gets removed after uploading

More trouble with the chapters system. I try and click to the "clan"
chapter of the server thread, but it takes me to the bottom of the
first page of the "banter" chapter instead. In the chapter listing it
says the clan chapter has 15 posts (and so spans 2 pages) but it doesnt
give a page listing, which also seemed odd.

What's the URL you're trying to visit (if you still have it), and were there new topics in the banter chapter? It shouldn't be moving you like that

Hmm, now its doing a different thing and taking me back to the general
banter forum when I try to click the "clan" chapter link.

Thenk link URL is...

http://www.snarkpit.net/forums.php?forum=1&topic=4525&chap=4&findpost=newest#newposts

But the URL I get taken to is...

http://www.snarkpit.net/forums.php?forum=1&error=No+posts+found!#newposts

Here's a good one: I can't update some map screenshots. After
submitting the new pic , I kept seeing the old thumbnails. I clicked on
all of them and they all displayed the old pics. I reloaded the page
and tried again; nothing. I decided to delete all of the pics and
attempt to resubmit them all at the same time. This time, all 3
thumbnails were identical and when I clicked them they displayed the
old pics, in their initial order ,that I had deleted before
resubmitting them in a different order than the initial one. Now, after
attempting to resubmit those bloody pics, 24hours after the initial
brawl, I find 2 of my thumbnails identical, both leading to the old
"deleted" pic, and the 3rd one broken. Weird. :sad:

[edit]

Oh, and the pics aren't being displayed in the "edit map" page.

Reno, can you please click on that link just one more time- it won't work, but I'll have it "track" everything that might be going wrong, since I can't see what it's doing :sad:

Andrei, try now- I think it's just a CHMOD problem that you always get when moving websites. BUT also if the image you're trying to upload is over 800 pixels wide for some reason it won't resize them down, which might also be the problem- I have no idea why this is, but I'm working on it...

Well, it worked...kinda: the thumbnails are the right ones, but the pics themselves are STILL the old ones. http://www.snarkpit.net/maps.php?map=1909

[edit]

OOppps, working now :smile: .

Ok Lep, done. Its just leaving me sat on the general banter forum when I click it, if you are curious.

Thanks for enabling my pit again :smile: My average map rating is still zero
though :sad: and the zip file is still empty. (It's 22Bytes, not KBytes)

/runsfromlep'swrath

Should work now Reno :smile:

Fraggard, your maps have to be rated more than once for it to count, hence why your average is apparently 0. PS This isn't a new rule, it's always been in effect- any recent snarkmark changes are due to some other tweaking I've been doing (no I'm not vain enough to h4x it so that I have the most!!)

The batch file creation thing doesn't work for me - nothing happens
when I click "generate" even after filling in all the fields. This is
in Firefox by the way, it seems to work fine in IE.

Same here with Mozilla.

how is my movie thread gonna get back into first place, if you guys keep posting duplicate info :razz:

sighs

/me wants first place again.

if you change your map info you also need to re-upload your pictures, not that handy is it?

Are you sure? You never used to have to do that. If you leave the
"upload pictures" boxes empty when you update the map info, it should
just continue to use the ones you already had.

possible bug.

this word "Forsaken"

translated from this site

into russian is Оставленный

but on this page

it posts like this:&#1054;&#1089;&#1090;&#1072;&#1074;&#1083;&#1077;&#1085;&#1085;&#1099;&#1081;

/me suspects that snarkpit dislikes the russian alphabet.

"Note that your comment is just plain text and can't be formatted."

That translation site gives you the characters in browser-ascii (don't know the real name, ISO996602339484-XBJ), since your browser holds it's own codes for fonts and values for things. And, the comment box simply doesn't accept html code, so the ascii characters are outputted and not their translations.

I thought of that, so i copy/pasted it into notepad. to remove any possible codes. it still came out borked.

is it possible that notepad now can understand code? it used to be so dumb, you could do almost anything with it to remove unwanted crap like code :sad:

Оставленный

Ostavlenniei, right? Anyone know how to read the last letter?

a quickie sug: Have all links on this site open up new windows, aside from ones linking to the site itself to prevent web looping.

Yes. I am too lazy to right click and open the pagq in a new window.

Er, no: SHIFT+click on a link if you want to open it in a new window, since there's no way to open a link in the same window if it is made to be opened in a new one...

And Orph, yes Notepad will display those characters, though you'll notice it gives you a message about using special characters if you try to save it. Not all browsers/systems can view those characters, though I should really get off my ass and make something convert 'safe' HTML like that into the right characters.

I reakon it would feature to be able to commant on news on the front
page an in the profile news bit. I have seen it on most other sites and
it is used alot. :smile:

I'll want that to be linked in with the forums, and given the complexity here that would take a bit of coding and would probably break a few times- but I'll put it on the to-do list.

shift+click.....didn't know that....thanks :smile:

Whoops, I broked the forums again, sorry

cant edit my map in the control panel

gives me a error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/snarkpit.net/httpdocs/func_parse.php on line 200

i only want to edit some screenshots on my maps

nvm didnt see the reply ^^ by lep

might work now

I have a special request. My tutorial about screens is not one anyone would think to look up. It is easy to find, but no one would dream of doing so. i am asking to have the link added to all the warning messages of this nature so it has a chance of being seen and used.

thanx for considering.

Does Steam preclude direct linking to a website?

It would be so nice to click on our server link and know who's in there at any given moment. It might encourage more Snarkpit members into fragging if you didn't have to bother with loading steam.

Just a thought.. A current status would be nice.

Sorry you have to use Steam.

You could always get a third party server browser if you have some
particular hatred of loading up steam just to check whos in the server.
I used HLSW, and its a handy tool. Loads far quicker than Steam, and
you can set it up to do remote admining and things which is handy for
me :smile:

http://www.hlsw.net/

If anybody hears news about server plugins or whathaveyou that dish out info to a website, I'd be interested :smile:

I have no hatred at all. I was thinking more basic. I have currently 3 machines online. 2 are gaming, and this one (my old pIII 500) is my interactive comp. I use it for forums and such. the other two are currently turned off.

I was thinking that if it were possible to see who is online with a machine that does not have steam installed, it could help. Many people are here at school and might be curious to see who is fragging. Me personally, i spend far more time on this old machine because my kids have my gaming machine tied up. It would be handy to look in on the server, then afterward tell the kids i need the comp. I wouldn't need to uproot them just to find out the server is empty.

make sense now?

ignore me :

OK.. Let me see if I get the question.. You wanta third party program that you can either run on your machine or have on this web page where you can look at it and see who is on the server, and if you want to play with who is on.. if so then you kick the kids in the butt and get on and play. Yes there is.

One: http://www.serverspy.net/site/gamelauncher/

It will allow Lep. to put a server watch thing on this web site and you can see who is on the server and you can then click a join server button on that page to load up steam and join the server. I have used this and find it very useful.

Two: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/GameServerInfo.asp

I have not used this program so I am not sure how good/bad it is.

Three: http://games.softpedia.com/get/Tools/Server-Watch.shtml#

Someone I know said this was a good program. I dont know personally, so it is one you need to check out for yourself.

Someone else posted about HLSW, it is a great tool.. but it is used on your end and not used on a web page like this.

If you want a Chatter that also will give you info on Servers Give X-Fire a try.

http://www.xfire.com/xf/index.php

Now if your asking about Stats as LEP said, then I would recommend PhyscoStats. http://www.psychostats.com/

OH Here is a Link I just came across it has a bunch of links there with discriptions of what the programs/links are.. there maybe what your looking for there. http://www.planethalflife.com/commands/tools.shtml

I hope this helps.

Thanks, MoneyShot: http://www.snarkpit.net/?page=server (I'll update this page with more stuff later on).

The current server hosts say they support psychostats for HL1 and a few other games, but I don't think they do it with HL2 yet :/

Yes Leperous HL2 is supported. I know several CS:S servers that use psychostats.

Oh and your welcome. =)

Oh coolness. I guess it wasn't such a dumb idea afterall :smile:

Thanx guys.

Why do I get the feeling that since this post followed mine, it was a good thing I was absent. :heee:

BUG:

I tried to comment on one of Fishy's models (in the Downloads section)
and I got kicked to my Control Panel with the message "Error: invalid
comment." Which, I guess, would explain why there are no comments on
any of the models. :smile:
