Well, my goal is to make it the only source of information (lists, guides, etc) about NG medals you will ever need. That will of course be impossible, or at least very hard, but it's the aim I guess.
Nice (website) banner, did you make it your self?
Hm? ^^ I didn't make the font, but part from that yeah :P
Great idea man, the site seems to work great! Right now I'd say all it really needs is an improved layout, which youre already working on!
Maybe have some lists like "easiest medals" for stat whores and "hardest medals" for the hardcore, I think offering something like that might help bring a few more people to the site.
Ah nice, I remember someone suggesting a rating system of some sort.. Perhaps some kind of "how hard is this medal?" poll on each medal could be something, and then make lists as you proposed :D
Um, yeah, you should probably look at this.
<a href="http://wylina.newgrounds.com/">http://wylina.newgrounds.com/</a>
I know of that :)
And yes, right now that is a better resource than my site in most ways, but there isn't much more that wylina can do with the limited tools given by NG. I have full control over my site, and the possibilities are basically endless.
id be interested in adapting some of the css onto that site.
Coolio, that would make life a bit easier for me :)
awesome
Looking good I must say. I'm wondering one thing though... Once the medals system goes public, how will you be able to keep track of all submissions with medals?
Are you going to build in a system where users can submit games they found themselves?
Eitherway, best of luck with the site!
I will have to wait and see how the public system changes things before I can give a definite answer, but I'm quite positive with how my experimenting with a completely automated system is coming along :)
Brilliant
now I have a medal wiki
also the difficulty rating system sounds awesome
just be careful with users messing around with it if it does go in
Yeah, I don't think people will find very much joy in sabotaging that system, but some security measures are always needed ofc.
Awesome site, mate! It's easily helped me get 1,000+ points on random medals here and there. Quick question for you though, is NG not currently displaying the medal 'section' on the games? For some reason, that box seems to have been removed for me on the submissions. I don't have another PC to test it out and I want to make sure my settings aren't jacked up. I can still earn medals fine and they save to my account, but the games themselves don't display the medal box. I hope this makes sense haha, I'm way tired so not too sure. =P
Thanks :)
And yes, it does show up for me, perhaps it was just some temporary error.
Ok, cool.
Hug my asshole please, lick my elbows and call me PICKLE-BOY!!!!
Uhh, is "no" an alternative? =/

yeah, so I hope you know
you're like the coolest mod ever. <3
I know now :)
You mention that you update the database manually, as in you manually put in all of the metals/games? Why don't you have the site just pull the info from here: <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/game/gameswithmedals/">http://www.newgrounds.com/game/gamesw ithmedals/</a> ? You can use cURL or any other method to do that.
I don't do it completely manually, I have scripted a small tool which I can run the HTML source through and it picks out the medal info. I have a completely automated system halfway finished, but as of now I don't really have the time to finish it :(
(_(_)IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID~~~~
Ohhh, but if you're already doing the parsing, you might aswell fetch the HTML source using: file_get_contents("http://");
---
file_get_contents returns the HTML source of the page, so from there you can just have the site automatically grab the source and then automatically parse it! And from there you can go beyond that and have it search the games-with-metals page every 24 hours for new games so you don't have to go searching yourself.
Yup, that's exactly what I'm working on "now" :)
Hey yeah um.....you can make a new post whenever you want to......
Really? Awesome :D
PBass
Cool mate, looks great!
