You will also find RcBot waypoints and Foxbot waypoints there as well. ps: the site owners p.c has a 'due to be fixed' noisy fan problem, so the site is down when the owner goes to bed as it keeps him awake... Well Mr Cheeseh, If you are gonna do the same, I will do the same by upoading there as well, as I am sure Skitchy and Sandy plus any other regular waypointers will also do. Maybe you could even setup a webring? Have a look at phpBB2 http://www.phpbb2.de/ and perhaps try the fully modded version http://www.phpbb2.de/dload.php?action=file&file_id=592 as I think it may suit your needs a little better than Invision?

This database would contain ALL the waypoints I currently have ( made and modified ) but I'm currently behind with not being able to waypoint or play NS beta5. I am up to more suggestions.

Basically, it boils down to this. PHP Pros: Free Easy to implement Very cross-platform Cons: Slow as hell. Coding is more obscure Somewhat security flawed CF Pros: Fast as all hell Extremely easy to code Cross platform Cons: Expensive Implementation at the begining is weird They can use the same kinds of databases, MS access, MySQL, Sybase, MS SQL, etc, I just like CF more than PHP and ASP cause it's faster, and faster to code. And how the hell can you support a lag-free server with only a 384k up pipe? Each person can take anywhere from 24 to 72kbps, limiting you anywhere from 16 to 5 people... I'm waiting for Verizon Fiber to get down here so I can pay $10 extra for 15mbps down, 2mbps up so I can actually and reliably host a webserver along side a NS server...

Thank Gawd for Bots, thats what I say. I Only have Uk ADSL and that has 288k uplink at best! Although using one of my commercial rented webservers combined with sv_downloadurl sorts out the demand on bandwidth at Map Sync time!

My Server is 'advertised as a sixteen man server, but thanks to a fast machine, it runs 4 WhichBot and 3 RcBot players smoothly, leaving room for 9 Humans. I then set the CVAR sv_maxspeed to 4000 and leave sv_maxspectatorspeed at 950.

Then within AMX I use a High Ping Kicker http://djeyl.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=24019&st=45 and a Rate Manager (Not much between most of 'em), but I Use http://www.modns.org/forums/index.php?show...72&hl=bandwidth which seems to improve things. Modem Users from Eastern Block countries 'sometimes' cause a problem although the high ping kicker usually sorts 'em out...

THAT was a hard game As far as high ping people coming in, the higest is usually ~200 and the lowest aside from me is ~30, I do use a ratemanager plugin for amx that limits their rates and crap, seems to work for the dialup people, as they don't know to change their rate down from 20000, causing a mass of lost packets... silly dial up people...

Even good camel coders can take like 3 times as long to create the stuff relatively new people can make in CF, so long as they know HTML..

CODE

$dbuser="username";
$dbpass="password";
$dbname="mydata"; //the name of the database
$chandle = mysql_connect("localhost", $dbuser, $dbpass)
or die("Connection Failure to Database");
mysql_select_db($dbname, $chandle) or die ($dbname . " Database not found. " . $dbuser);

$mainsection="sections"; //The name of the table
$query1="select * from " . $mainsection . " as t1 where t1.idname = " . "\"Home\""; //select the home section
$result = mysql_db_query($dbname, $query1) or die("Failed Query of " . $query1); //do the query
$thisrow=mysql_fetch_row($result);
if ($thisrow) //if the results of the query are not null
{
echo "The Home section was found. ";
}
else
{
echo "The Home section was not found. ";
}

VS

CODE

<cfquery dbname="mydata" username="username" password="password" name="mydataquery">
SELECT * FROM whatever ORDER BY t1.hits DESC
</cfquery>

<cfif isdefined('mydataquery.thisrow'>
the home section was found
</cfelse>
the home section was not found
</cfif>

Those two basically do the same thing, which would you choose?

This is how:

CODE

sv_maxrate 4608
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxupdaterate 9

Anyway, I do have PHP but it's an old version. 4.2.1 I think. The nice thing about PHP is, it's free. Can you get cold fusion for free?

Of course, the version you download from macromedia.com is 100% full, you just need the licence key to activate it. So if you can get your hands on a key, you can have a full version of CF. Otherwise, its ~$1300 As far as PHP goes, I'm runnin v4.3.8 Yeah, I run PHP too.. and Perl, and ASP, and a butlload of other things, cause I like to play with code!

}
else
{
echo "The Home section was not found. ";
}

I'd still choose php, with a little bit of tinkering you can decrease the amount of coding by using php classes, i.e.

CODE

$db->executeQuery("select * from sections as t1 where t1.idname = 'Home'");

if ( $db->numRows() )
echo "The Home section was found. ";
else
echo "The Home section was not found. ";

which you can then turn into:

CODE

if ( $homeSection->find() )
echo "The Home section was found. ";
else
echo "The Home section was not found. ";

huh? huh?

RCBot Waypointer Group: Moderator Posts: 987 Joined: 15-September 03 From: Philadelphia Member No.: 19	I know it's been a while since I have posted here. But just to let anyone know, I do still have and maintain a waypoints database for RCBot (for NS) and Whichbot. Also Foxbot for those sill playing TFC. So if your looking for waypoints or have some to share that I don't have, you can submit them too. The link is at the end of my sig.
