UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.1x] Name Effects 2.0 pb3

I upgraded my hack for 6.1x as best as I could. I also did what little XHTML-izing I know. If someone could look over it for me and let me know what to change I'd appreciate it. (I'd prefer to be told what to change instead of having it changed for me, that way I learn more about it )

http://news.markeedragon.net/Ramirez/NameEffects.txt

I've got it installed and tested on beta 1.2 along with UBB Calendar, Who's Online, Integrated Polls, Last Reply By, CP Registration, ICQ/AIM Status, and View PM Info, all on Allen's XHTML template files. So there shouldn't be any conflicts with any of that stuff.

-----Edit-----

Updated to 2.0 pb3. Tested on 6.0.1.2. Users of pb2 will need to rehack all files except for cp_common.pl.

Nice work.... the best way to learn xhtml, I;ve found, is to read the basics, then trial and error it with the validator.

Basics:

• Lower-case all tags -
  
  must be
• Quote all parameters - align=center must be align="center"
• Close all tags - must have a
• For tags that don't have a close (

I re-hacked cp_style and fixed that line but when i go into style templates i always get that error running 6.1 PB 1.4

Send me copies of all the files that are modified by this and I'll look them over.

This hack works great for me on Beta 1.2!

Thanks!

Great hack, I'll try installing it soon.

Ramirez, could you possibly give me some info about adding glows to Megamoderators?

Or can I just copy the mod parts, and rename them all to megamod?

I would appreciate any info you can supply.

I'm still currenty using 6.05.

got it working

Another important thing in XHTML is to not minimize any value, like in your hack there are:
It should beThe first part, 'checked="checked"', is that minimizing part...

And btw, very nice hack

StealthAngel and V00D00, glad you got the hack working.

Excellent, you should be able to just copy, paste, and modify the code for moderators, though I'd have to look at it more to really say for sure. I don't have the text file where I am, so I can't say right now. I will probably be integrating MegaMod support before the full release since I like MegaMod myself.

LK, I don't completely understand why I need to change the checked part. Could you possibly point me to a website or something that explains the minimizing variables part really well? And, thanks for the compliment but I have to credit Freakscene, too, he helped me a lot. He and I have talked about integrating a whole lot of other text features like Shadow before the final version. I'll have to talk to him about that soon. I'll also make sure it's all XHTML-ized

Ramirez:

How do you make the glow go diagonal (from start to down-left)?

Like on ZeldaGlitches ?

Cause that looks really cool!

I already got your hack installed, just tell me what I need to change & make me a happy man.

That looks like he's using a shadow effect. That will be an option in the final version, but it's not in there right now.

Okay thanks.

I will ask him then.

This line does not exit in my ubb6.1 beta1.4 Nor did the line from the above post.

What did I do wrong?

In beta 1.4, the correct line is:
As for the other line, which line are you referring to?

how can i make this work with Mega Mod hack?

I'm going to be looking at that next week. It shouldn't be difficult and I've had people mention sending me the updates to make it MegaMod compatible. I'll be updating this for 2.1 next week and will be adding a few more text effects and getting it MegaMod compatible too.

cool, i look forward to it.

Ok, I've got 6.1.0.2 running now so I'll be working on doing what I said I was doing before

yay!

I'm about to update the megamod hack to make it compatible to older and other hacks such as the stars/status.

If your going to use the megamod integration, I haven't seen this hack code sorry. Use this:

($profile[8] eq 'MegaModerator')

not

($profile[8] eq 'Megamoderator')

Sorry. The next megamod upgrade will fix a big bug; so you'll need it.

[ 10-30-2001: Message edited by: raiyan ]

Will do, thanks for the info.

Alright, I went through and updated everything for 6.1.0.2. I also added options for Shadow, Drop Shadow, and Blur effects in addition to the existing Glow and Text Color effects.

Modificiation has been renamed to Name Effects since that's more descriptive now

This is very untested right now, so proceed at your own risk. Once I get this version debugged I'll proceed to adding Megamod support, which shouldn't be too difficult. I just want to make sure the base code is working first.

I installed it on my board and it seems to be working fine. I'm going to be working on getting rid of extraneous fields and fixing an aesthetics issue in the CP. Other than that, it should be safe to try out now

http://news.markeedragon.net/Ramirez/NameEffects.txt

Ok, file updated to get minimize number of fields needed in the style template. Uploading the changed file now.

Lookie, another post by me

I've made a megamod version now. I don't have megamod installed yet, but they were really simple changes to make it compatible. You can download the megamod compatible beta here:

http://news.markeedragon.net/Ramirez/NameEffects_megamod.txt

Thanks Ramirez, I'll check it out.

Maybe an upgrade version for those who had your old hack up?

Actually it was an easy upgrade, code's basically the same cept for a few minor changes. This was even easier to install than the first version when we emailed each other, god knows how many times... Works Great!!

Oh one more thing... what am I suppose to put in for mod effect direction when it only accepts 3 characters?

www.wrathofdragonclaw.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

Sorry, direction is a number from 1-360, like degrees. If someone has the old text file I might put together upgrade instructions, but I modified my text file so I don't have anything to compare against

i might have it somewhere... i think hehe i'll email it to ya if i find it...

I'm having a rather unusual problem.

I'm not really even sure if it's because of your hack or not, but it seems the most likely.

Sometimes the name of the poster doesn't show, or it shows the WRONG name...it's REALLY REALLY weird.

Here's a link to one that just doesn't show at all. Fuzion Tek

i have the same problem as the poster above.

That's what i get when i select to DISABLE colors for mods and members...so how do I fix this error?

[ 11-03-2001: Message edited by: DBZFanCentral.com ]

Hrmmm I ran it on 7 different machines with freemem running. Only times I see problems like the ones mentioned above is when im low on system resources. I could be wrong.. still fooling around with it

i think low system memory is causing your browser to not show the effects. I beeen testing this for the last hour or so.

LoL, if it's one thing I'm NOT, it's low on system resources

It's something to do with MegaMods...

V00D00, I looked at the source for the page you sent me and found this for the one that didn't show: And this for the one that did show: As you can see, it is leaving a blank line in the HTML instead of putting the appropriate line in. Have you tried clearing the cache, rebuilding stat files and all that jazz to see if it is something random or something that happens to the same post everytime? Also, is there any pattern, like it always happening to the same person or anything like that? Do you have megamods installed?

Raichu, do you mean you think it is when the server is low on memory, or the client? The client being low on memory really shouldn't affect this I wouldn't think. Do you have megamods installed?

ZoneX, did you remove megamods and the problem went away?

DBZFanCentral, I suspect you missed something in the code, but I've been away from this hack for so long that I can't say exactly where to look off the top of my head Email me the files that are edited by the hack and I'll look over them and make sure they all look right.
