Thanks to the awesome (well hard working) talents of Bonk we have a webmap!
http://www.dynaverse.net/webmap_kcw_ff/
Be sure to thank him when you see him!

:notworthy:
maybe we could get this stickied..?
-
Does this webmap mean that KCW is SQL?
-
man that is so cool :). i so wish i could get around this academy network :(
-
Does this webmap mean that KCW is SQL?
Nope, this is a flatfile version, limited in functionality. (no webyards etc.)
-
Please do not bookmark the webmap itself, but rather the form where you select the desired view as linked above. (This means you Bartok ;)) I am looking into a way to make it work for people who insist on doing this.
Also, please refrain from trying to mess with the chat applet, it is secure and will only allow joining the general channel. (This means you Malak ;)) Perhaps you accidentally refused the certificate?
Thank you,
Bonk

A little late, but.........
THANKS BONK for the WEBMAP!! It's a great tool to watch what's occuring during my work-time hours.

ThanX Bonk - I LOVE the Webmap, sorry if I caused problemos and also sorry I hadn't replied till now. Been away from the forums for a bit.
This is an incredible resource you've created here. The dimension it adds to the game is fantastic :thumbsup:
I'm pleasantly surprised that it (for KCW) works with a flatfile, albeit without webyards.. way cool. Love the IRC applet if only to sneak a peak of who's online ;)
Would it be possible to set a filter or sorts to load the map showing hexes with a particular DV or DV range? What a cool planning tool that would be....
Also curious about whether folks could "register" their game servers (my laptop for instance) so that your remote app could construct a webmap for it?? Perhaps I should post these questions in the Server Admins area, but I'm caught on this thread ;D
Cheers All

No biggie, I really need to figure out how to prevent that being an issue.

See where it says "-Layer-", "-Filter-", "-Zoom-" on the form? Select "Defense" in the "-Filter-" dropdown and your wish is granted. ;) (Thanks go to J'inn for requesting the feature and to Dizzy for ideas on refining it) Also, if the webmap is the active window, hover the mouse over a hex for info on that hex.
The filters currently only show a greyscale of lowest to highest values, but I'll stew on how to implement a user requested DV range or economy filter.

Yes this is possible, you need only make the autosave folder available by http. (a webserver alias or virtual directory would do the trick). However this would be a fair bit slower, particularly as the database grows. It is best to run the webmap on the same LAN as the Dynaverse server and set it to get the autosave db over a network share. (or on the same machine and opening the file locally) However we can test getting it over http sometime if you like. I have outlined a rough setup in the MySQL thread in the Dynaverse server admins forum, but can provide more details if desired. I have posted the current webmaps here: http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads/sfc2_op/Tools_and_Utilities/webmap_op_wips.zip but I am making additional improvements and refinements as I work on the UAW server, overall it still needs a lot of work. (I really must tidy the html output of the script). If you install a webserver and php and download the webmaps you can play around with it yourself. (Abyss (http://www.aprelium.com) is a tight and easy to install and configure webserver that would do the trick, if you're not into apache or IIS)

Wow Bonk -
U never cease to amaze me! I hadn't checked to currently available filters, very cool. Lotta food for thought here, I dl'd the op wips and now am hankering for a live web directory. I think there's a pared down version of IIS available on my laptop - Win2K sp4. That's the machine I run the "bartoksbasement" off of, so I could more easily make the autosave folder available than run a full on map.
I do have MySql installed, but not php. I need to read up more before I go muck.... thanX for the inspiration ;D
-
If you do want to try making the autosave folder available by http to a webmap here, then just make sure you dont post the url (just PM it to me) and make it an improbable url for the alias, so no one stumbles across it (as the db contains e-mail addresses).
-
Planet and base display are now enabled for the post-mortem analysis.
-
Took the webmap down today, just let me know if it is still needed.
-
I think House HutDich still needs it, Bonk. Ryker or Braxton still have to go over it and determine our scores. Sorry if it's a pain in the keister. I sent a PM to Ryker asking him to total up our points today.
-
No problem, it will just take a few minutes to put it back up...
edit: done - its back up, just let me know when its no longer needed.
-
It just occurred to me I could write a script to tally map VC's automatically.... what kind of inputs and outputs would be desired? (Omniverse groundwork...)
-
If you could tally map VC's automatically that would be awesome. Ours was primarily a territorial house anyway. I think we got less than 15 PvP kills, or something like that.
-
I have a basic map summary page done. Check the "Summary" link at the bottom of the main webmap page.
Feedback welcome, and check it for accuracy if you wouldn't mind.
This is something I can fill out and add to as needed or desired.
-
Thanks, Bonk! Mucho Gracias. I'll post this over at the 9th Forum. We'll be glad to see the fruits of our efforts. I'll try and get Ryker to give us a total for our PvP and Honor kills. You're the man, Bonk. +1 for you, matey-boy.
-
Very Cool Bonk!!!
You're a Sql God ;)
I'm assuming that the planet and base totals don't include the original homeworld and surrounding bases? Very cool "summary" - think you'll include this feature on future webmaps.... running totals etc.
Cheers

No SQL here... all PHP manipulation of the binary flatfile. (SQL's easy...;))
The totals are overall totals, they do include the initially held assets. This way the code is generalised and not specific to any one server, but I could add configuration parameters to exclude specified assests from the totals. Yes, I intend to include a version of this in all future webmaps.
edit: actually I already had the flatfile decoding necessary for this done in another include file... I wanna get back to working on that file sometime, I stopped at political tensions as they are weird values, but now that I have the serverkit source I can figure them out and move on to the character and ship tables producing a politics page and character roster... perrhaps even the battle log as for the SQL webmap, but I'm not sure that is done the same in the flatfile or if DarkElf's db cleaner that is commonly used leaves it intact...
edit #2: I'm also cleaning up the html output of these scripts as I go. My use of the echo function in these scripts dates back to when I first started working in php and thought it necessary to output the html page headers I desired, when in fact it is not and just makes for unweildy html output.
Also, I'm kind of focusing on the SQL serverkit right now, once we get it stabilised I can focus on the webmaps in earnest as its really the SQL version that has the real potential for player registrations, OoB... etc...
-
Summary page updated to include terrains, politics page added. Portability issues fixed (mainly, the byte order from the flatfile data would have been wrong on*nix servers). Html output formatting still needs work. Character roster will be the next addition. I'll update the posted webmap wips zip file soon.
