Idea: Solution system

tyteen4a03 · Post by **tyteen4a03** » Sun Dec 12, 2010 5:12 pm

PoTZ is coming up, but since mette left... who will make the solutions?

I can write a system that systematically sort solutions and extras using PHP, but here comes the differcult part: WHO will be writing them, and HOW will they submit solutions?

(Note: This system is also designed to store CUSTOM LEVEL solutions)

I have several ideas that can be used:
1. Submission through isolated identification system: You register on the system, PM me with your activation code and I will activate your account. Disadvantage is PMing and waiting takes too much time.
2. Submission through integrated identification system: You log in using the current username and password you have on this forum. Don't worry, all passwords are encrypted in the database (yes, even Patrick can't reach your password just by looking at the database!) so your security is protected. We can also upgrade this system later on. An disadvantage is that either I need to be able to reach the database (that way I will be able to see your email, PM texts but no, I PROMISE that I WILL NOT look at your PMs/grab your email for other uses. I do not do that on any fourms I adminstrate, nor will I do it in the future) or Patrick will have to install the system, when I have new bugfixes for the system he won't be able to update immediately.
3. Submission through PMs. No identification hassles, but it will take time to update/add solutions.

So... what do you guys think?

What about Nutters like people did for WA and MOFI?

Discontinued, I assume. The one in MS.com is an archive.

And there is a difference between MS.com and M$.com.

We can make it public for all users by using youtube or notepad

I can record solutions!

I have HD-Recorder.
That costs money.

If I actually have the solution I can record me playing the level.

Fraps is better than HD-Recorder BTW.

Nah, i hate fraps cause it puts around 6 clips for 14 minutes.

~xpr'd~ · Post by **~xpr'd~** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 8:35 pm

Doesn't for me. I can record almost 20 minutes in one video.

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 8:35 pm

How about we have a single topic dedicated to POTZ level solutions?

~xpr'd~ · Post by **~xpr'd~** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 8:37 pm

Okay. That would work.

VirtLands · Post by **VirtLands** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 9:32 pm

I know how to record solutions very well;
The problem is that I don't know what the solution is.

You never could, actually. And you can still delete posts in some other forums (as well as the Midnight post forum).

No, You can't. You can edit your post and say "Deleted", but not remove your post.

Yes you can, actually. In some forums, you can delete your posts.

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 11:57 pm

Not on the entire "Discussion Board".
Other forums, yes. Here, no.

Thats what BB said.

...And you can still delete posts in some other forums...

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 12:44 am

But that's still irrelevant to here.
That's like saying:
Dude 1: "Aww! No more apples can be grown on earth."
Dude 2: "Don't worry. They can still be grown on Planet UIDSG, which is only OVER 9000 Light Years away!"

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Thu Dec 16, 2010 12:46 am

Not quite.It still could help VirtLands(a bit), while in your eg. it is useless.

I only said that you can still delete posts in other forums (than the Midnight Post forum) because Boywhoflies said that you could only edit posts that are in the Midnight Post forum. Then you said "No, You can't. You can edit your post and say "Deleted", but not remove your post." when I was referring to other forums than this one (if that was what you were referring to).

Back on topic.

Then the author of this topic must change the name or we can use LEVEL SOLUTINS WONDERLAND ADVENTURES forum for it
