DR Computer!

excaliber7388 · #1 12-01-2006, 05:11 AM

Okay, I'm working on a website for the DR Computer.
Why?
I'm making it open sourced.
I plan to release the DR Computer script, for everyone to use and edit (considering you follow the terms, such as, all changes have to be uploaded, only change the newest version, do not take credit from anyone who worked on it, etc). I'm hoping to make a LOT of additions to it through the community. As of now, I'm working on an RSS feed, slideshow, and the page with the terms and script on it. I explain more on the site. Right now, every age but the rss, the terms/script page, and a few images. The slide show also has some problems I'm working on. I also don't have many screenshots (since I can't get on my server for some reason

).
Anyway, give me your thoughts on the project, the page, etc

Yeah...tripod

. I used my own formatting though. Still, I'm looking for a different free hosting service since tripod has screwed me over before

The screenshots of it actually look pretty cool, I didn't picture it looking like that.

I plan to make it very customizable. Right now, you can customize your home page, the desktop, and your window options (whether parent windows stay open after you click on a program, or if they close).
I plan to make the computer type interchangeable (the image of the computer), options for email, other programs, etc.
GS2 is a pretty powerful language, and I want this to take advantage of everything it has to offer.

How does the website viewing work?

P.S. I *MIGHT* be able to pull off a full direct-aim chat to players around any server if they have the script hooked up..

I'd really have to see it though

As of now, the computer uses openurl. I's like to use something else, because openurl cannot be well controlled. Basically the only thing I can do with it right now, is add tabbed viewing, make use of a user-defined home page, and maybe some options for the tabbed viewing. Graal doesn't support it much.
Aim chat would be very cool. I was thinking of using IRC commands, but if there's a way to hook up to aim, that'd be pretty cool.

Please hurry. I need to get on the computer!

openurl goes out of the box?

Well, I can use IRC to send information to each server to make a Chat Program on the computers - message me on aim and I'll see what I can do.

Fine me one.
I had to upload hundreds of files (images, etc).
All because I couldn't figure out which filenames it didn't like. Found out it was one from the rss's (I think). SO I'm going to continue to upload stuff, but if you find one that will allow me to upload a .zip file, with everything in it, and it will unzip it and use them, I'm all there.
I was thinking of using .mac, but that would have my full name connected to it, and I'd prefer to not do that.

no offense, but I really think this script has not enough content to hit 2400 lines.. even with the 150 guis you got =1

GraalScript: Loop limit exceeded in script of Weapon Systems/Computer

It has a game or two, some programs, etc. I'd like to reduce the size of the gui stuff my making them trough variables dynamically. Also, there's some old gs1, if/else stuff instead of switch, etc. There's a lot to do with it, that's why I wanted everyone to be able to work on it. Some form of gui creation thing would be neat. It would have to have variables for every aspect of a gui, then each part of the program would have their own variables. It could get troublesome for multiple windows though. I'm sure something can be worked out. I can't see this shrinking too much though.
