The tale of...

Anything that is egoboo-related, but not "development". Stories, "fan-art", media mentions, articles...

The tale of...

Post by Cimeries »

That little section in the Zippy site with the "tale of" stories (where a humorous image and story are randomly generated) is really cool.

Does anyone know who wrote the code for it? Because I have the code and the images, and it would make a great addition to the main site.

LOL. I was thinking of using the information from that app to do the tombstones in Egoboo.

I've seen someone who used an image very similar to those for something unrelated to Egoboo, so I think the app may have been developed for something else.

It's actually JavaScript. Look at the HTML source for that page.
What you want to look at is lines 42-289.

That's what I did. I have duplicated it to an HTML document and it works, all we need now is the permission.

This is an open source community; permission does not exist, only post-robbery flaming and the lack thereof!


I always liked that too.
I'm sure there's room somewhere on the new site (the bottom, maybe?).

It might be a little distracting as main content, though; it could also be a separate page or even an Easter egg.

Yes. We can even improve it and make our own. :)
Anyway, do think you can add it to the site soon?
(If you don't know how to get the code and stuff, Pm me and I'll send it over.)

I should be able to extract the code easily enough.
The site is certainly overdue for an update, but my main priority is news (new release and all) and more screenshots.
Also, Zefz sent me some special item things that could go somewhere (the secret page or something)....

Great. :D
I might (keyword is 'might') make some tiny body part graphics of my own to add to the script, but we'll have to see about that.

Grr. Don't expect this update tonight; Frontpage is wacky, and I think I have to convert all forty of my screenshots to jpgs or gifs, otherwise it renames them and messes up all their URLs.
It's pretty weird.
And dumb.

Hopefully done by tomorrow, though.
And then at some point I'll tackle that random story script (it will be slightly more complicated than I had initially assumed, as I'll have to either adapt it or make sure I upload the images in just the right places, but it still shouldn't be so hard).

Frontpage doesn't produce HTML that is valid with W3C validator: http://validator.w3.org/ :(
I can help with the website if needed...

Probably not, but..
The tale of thingy on website could be on a tales page maybe, with separate pages for each?
This is what this topic is supposed to be mostly about..
