I like the hour old idea Bonk. Keeps it useful as a PvP archive without giving out current info.

Maybe 3 hours old would be even better.

$PPtransfersTax = 10; // Transfer service charge in percent, charged to donor

I'd rather have a flat rate.

Picky, picky, picky...

I'll look at it. Shouldn't be hard to do.

I think I will do that, and make the age configurable, its a simpler solution.

How about an option for a percentage and a flat rate bonk?

Lol, I knew that was coming... that might be too much of a bother. Oh wait, I see what you mean, I could just add a configurable flat surcharge to the service charge so one could set the tax to 0% + 500 PP surcharge, or 10% + 0 PP or whatever... sounds good.

PP transfers and recent battle reports modified as suggested:

Code: [Select]

<?php
$BattleRepDelay		= 0;				// Delay in minutes before battles appear on the recent battles page
$BattleRepNum		= 200;				// Number of Recent battles to report - keep low to minimise server load

$usePPtransfers		= 1;				// Allow character to character prestige transfers, set to zero to disable
if ($usePPtransfers == 1) {
$PPtransfersMin		= 6000;				// Minimum transfer
$PPtransfersMax		= 1000000;			// Maximum transfer
$PPtransfersTax		= 10;				// Transfer service charge in percent, charged to donor
$PPtransfersSur		= 500;				// Transfer surcharge, charged to donor
}
?>

Recent battle reports are not delayed in The Forge OCI config file, but we can set it to whatever is desired for SG6, (762 suggests 180 minutes). Eventually I'll need to move all these configuration parameters to a database table and make them editable in the OCI Admin Controls, but not until I stop adding features (or at least slow down) to avoid duplicating effort.

They whole Destroyed ships function needs reworking, the report delay is not applied there yet, but it is not so critical as ships are destroyed less frequently than battles occur. And people usually crow about it on TS anyway so everyone knows it has happened and when.

don't know if it's been mentioned yet,but the kill section of the interface needs to have an "escape" option added for 2v2's and 3v3's.....other wise it looks like 2 or 3 peeps gangged up on 1 player instead of looking like one or two escaped

Dizzy · « **Reply #46 on:** July 30, 2006, 09:22:11 pm »

u missunderstand the purpose of the kill report page. Its for VC purposes. If u want details on who was involved go look at the battle report. You can always post your kill in the RP thread.

exactly...

if $flatratesetting = 1

then there won't be a percentage taxt, but if $flatratesetting = 0 then it defaults to $PPtransfersTax = ? where ? is a number pecentage, in this case, 10.

Edit:

Yours is simpler and does more.

Ignore this post, thanks bonk.

I do hope if we have an "incident" like on SGO5 and a player gets banned, the SCCs will be notified at least.
Perhaps even a chance to get the players straightened out ( a day or 2 in the agony booth does wonders for "Conduct Rehabilitation")

Last time, I only learned of it after a week had passed. $:-\$

I wasnt even notified and it was my server. Sometimes things happen and we deal with it as best can be which is what happened. In the future all I can say is we will do the best we can, thanks for the input, Krueg, you should have been notified.

One thing that would be extremely nice Bonk is if I could load the webmap, look at stuff, do other things on the OCI, and go back to the webmap without having to reload it. Is there a way it could be cached locally so I can just click on something to bring up the previously loaded map, then manually reload it when I want an update?

Also, is it possible to have the little map drop-downs default to whatever I used last?

Good suggestions...

It should already remember what view you used last unless you go to another area of the OCI in the same browser window and then return to the map.... I could set the last view used in a session or cookie, so that it will persist across the various pages... I'll add that to the wishlist.

Though you can resolve both issues for now by using tabbed browsing in Firefox or IE7 (or new windows in IE6) - just right click a link and open in new tab or window thus your map view will remain as is in the other tab or window and you can refresh it only when desired.

I'd add tabs to the OCI itself but I pretty much refuse to use javascript; which is somewhat limiting but guarantees consistent function regardless of the users browser security settings. AJAX would be very well suited to the OCI, but I hate buzzwords and fads and I despise javascript even more.

I'll stew on a solution to this. For now, multiple browser tabs or windows ought to do the trick.
