Got shaders to work, material system is over 33% of all engine code now

And now it's fixed! I think those are valid avatars at least.

Strip the garryis=awesome part?

[Murk]

If you strip that part, it'll load the cloudflare file instead of using the server directly, which could end up being months old.

[editline]3rd December 2011[/editline]

If you'd use that url I mean.

[acpm]

The only reason I was thinking of keeping it was because your browser makes a request with that specific URL, and I wanted the API to reflect the same request.

Pailendy, Quark and Azzymaster Have the same avatar?

[acpm]

Fuck. Thank you for pointing that out.

It also coincides with this bug:

Or there are secretly a lot of other professional game server drama providers I just don't know about here.

The problem has been found, but I'll need to speak with Gran on how he wants to work around the issue.

We're detecting you guys' usergroups by searching for the color of your span element to your displayed username. This isn't ideal, and I personally think it's probably just best to grab what's inside of the anchor in your .username element, then parse that for the usergroup in a second string operation.

Some of you aren't Gold Members here, and it's offsetting everyone's reported avatars, because that's the value we find after your usergroup.

To get a better feel for how we're pushing all of this HTML information into a member object, I'll show you our Lua pattern for doing so:

[lua]"username_container.-href=\"members/.- title=\"(.-) is (.-)line.-#(......).-img src=\"(/avatar/.-)\""
[/lua]

I hope it's okay to update you with these small fixes, but I got titles integrated as well as usergroups parsed better, and avatars fixed.

No, I'm using Lua patterns to parse HTML. :v:

Specifically, this is the new pattern:

[lua]threadPageMemberPattern = "username_container.-href=\"members/.- title=\"(.-) is (.-)line.-\">(.-)</a>.-\"usertitle\">(.-)</span>.-img src=\"(/avatar/.-)\""

I don't know if you followed Overv's work on the Android FP app, but using patterns to parse HTML is a terrible idea. You should see if Lua has any DOM parsing modules.

It is a terrible idea, and I fully understand the potential bugs and hacks of using patterns/regex to parse HTML, but I actually agree with his stance on not using a DOM parser. While it's the "right" way to go about this, patterns are a quick and easy native way to accomplish some of our goals.

[editline]3rd December 2011[/editline]

When we have a more structured project, we'll replace patterns with a DOM parser. Sound good?

Being an API, there are potentially going to be many other applications that will depend on it. It would be wise to build it strong from the ground up.

You have a good, solid point. In this case, since we'll be moving over to a public repo soon, I'll make it a high priority to rip out the pattern stuff. I'll yell at Gran and see if we can find a reliable DOM parser then.

[foszor]

But truth be told, I was using Regex to parse HTML for a Chrome extension I wrote. Once I converted it to DOM it was actually easier than Regex and less code.

I figured it would be a little more time consuming. I like jQuery's way of going through the DOM with its $("#idname") magic and the such. If there was a Lua DOM parser that could do something to that degree, I'd change in a heartbeat.

I'll look up parsers now then.

Has anyone ever seen a get/set implementation like this? :

int FilePriority(int file_index)

void FilePriority(int file_index, int priority)

I thought that was very out of the ordinary

I used lua string patterns to parse data for my Pokemon gamemode, and shit it was horrible. This is the entire file for getting each Pokemon's base info:

[lua]local ID = glon.decode(file.Read("pokemon/ids.txt")) --table of pokemon, just {[name] = id}

local Info = {Overview = {}, Stats = {}, Evolution = {}}
local SkipKeys = {"oldbug", "family", "sprite1", "type1-1", "type2-1", "sprite2", "type1-2", "type2-2", "sprite3", "type1-3", "type2-3"}

local Number = 1
local NextQuery = true

local function GetData(Args, Contents)
local Name = table.KeyFromValue(ID, Args[1])
local CurInfo, CurStats, CurEffect, CurEvolution = {}, {}, {}, {}
local Code = string.match(Contents, "<textarea id=\"wpTextbox1\" [^>]+>.-</textarea>")
local Infobox = string.match(Code, "{{PokémonInfobox|.-}}")
for Line in string.gmatch(Infobox, ".-\n") do
Line = string.gsub(Line, "\n", "")
local Key, Value = string.match(Line, "([%w-]+)%s-=%s-([%w,'\"%.]+)")
if not(Key and Value) then continue end
if(table.HasValue(SkipKeys, Key)) then continue end
CurInfo[Key] = Value
end
local BaseStats = string.match(Code, "====%s?Base stats%s?====.-}}")
for Line in string.gmatch(BaseStats, ".-\n") do
Line = string.gsub(Line, "\n", "")
local Key, Value = string.match(Line, "([%w-]+)%s-=%s-([%w,'\"%.]+)")
if not(Key and Value) then continue end
if(table.HasValue(SkipKeys, Key)) then continue end
if(string.match(Key, "^type.?$")) then continue end
CurStats[Key] = Value
end
local Effectiveness = string.match(Code, "===Type effectiveness===.-}}")
for Line in string.gmatch(Effectiveness, ".-\n") do
Line = string.gsub(Line, "\n", "")
local Key, Value = string.match(Line, "([%w-]+)%s-=%s-(%d+)")
if not(Key and Value) then continue end
if(table.HasValue(SkipKeys, Key)) then continue end
CurEffect[Key] = Value
end
local Rarity = string.match(Code, "===Game locations===.-==")
for Line in string.gmatch(Rarity, ".-\n") do
Line = string.gsub(Line, "\n", "")
local Key, Value = string.match(Line, "([%w-]+)%s-=%s-([%w%s{%[|%]},é]+)")
if not(Key and Value) then continue end
if not(Key == "frlgraritya" or Key == "frlgarea") then continue end
if(Value[#Value] == "|") then Value = Value:sub(1, -2):Trim() end
--CurInfo[Key] = Value
print(Value:match("%[%[.-%]%]"))
end
local Evolve = string.match(Code, "===Evolution===.-}}")
local CurStage
for shit in string.gmatch(Evolve, "name%d%s-=%s-%w+") do
local Stage, name = string.match(shit, "name(%d)%s-=%s-(%w+)")
if(name:lower() == Name) then
CurStage = tonumber(Stage)
end
end
if(CurStage) then
for Line in string.gmatch(Evolve, ".-\n") do
Line = string.gsub(Line, "\n", "")
local Key, Value = string.match(Line, "([%w-]+)%s-=%s-([%w%s'%.]+)")
if not(Key and Value) then continue end
if(table.HasValue(SkipKeys, Key)) then continue end
local Stage = tonumber(string.match(Key, "%a+(%d)"))
if(Stage) then
if(Stage == (CurStage + 1)) then
if(string.gsub(Key, "%d", "") == "name") then
CurEvolution[string.gsub(Key, "%d", "")] = Value
end
elseif(Stage == CurStage) then
if not(string.gsub(Key, "%d", "") == "name") then
CurEvolution[string.gsub(Key, "%d", "")] = Value
end
end
else
print(Name.." has key with no stage\n"..Key.." = "..Value)
end
end
Info.Evolution[Name] = CurEvolution
end
Info.Overview[Name] = CurInfo
Info.Stats[Name] = CurStats
NextQuery = true
end

hook.Add("Think", "PokemonData", function()
if not(NextQuery) then return end
if(Number > 151) then
file.Write("pokemon/info.txt", glon.encode(Info))
return
end
local Name = string.upper(table.KeyFromValue(ID, Number)[1])..string.sub(table.KeyFromValue(ID, Number), 2)
if(Number == 122) then Name = "Mr._Mime" end
http.Get("http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title="..Name.."_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&action=edit", "", GetData, Number)
Number = Number + 1
MsgN(Name.."'s turn!")
NextQuery = false
end)[/lua]

It took weeks to finally get it to a workable state.

That looks even worse than I thought now that I look back on it

[ROBO_DONUT]

Speaking of HTML, why don't they do away with <span> and <div> and just make a general <thingy> tag? Everything's basically done in CSS or the style attribute anyway, so making such a distinction seems arbitrary.

Also, I've always wanted to hide

span { display: block; } div { display: inline; }

in a stylesheet somewhere and write everything backwards. Imagine the hapless web dev/userscript author's reaction when they stumble upon that.
