High Score

Well I have a simple minigame that gives you a high score after you win or lose the game, also I have AceHart's Save/Load system so anyone can save and load their high score anytime they play. Anyway is there any way to incorporate that Save/Load system into PHP or HTML? As in if you have a Save code from ingame, you enter the code and your game name into a box on a website, where it gets decoded after you click submit; after which if the code and name are not false it's sent to MySQL where you can insert the score into a table that is full of other high scores. I'm sure this is possible; but I'm not sure where to begin though.

Any help/ideas would be nice, Thanks.

Aren't hosting bots against battle.net rules now? Or was that something else...

Hosting bots are against the ToS. There is no way to save scores like you want that isn't against the ToS.

Hmm i'm pretty sure Blizzard did put a ban on them and other things like VCK but I haven't seen anyone get banned from using any of them yet; so idk.

But if I do happen to get banned back to Counter Strike I go. :D

And by the way DDRtists i'm just wondering if I could decode an ingame save code on a website using PHP. Not looking for a way to do this ingame.

Blizzard seems to be pretty lenient on hosting bots, as far as I'm aware they just disconnected after two minutes. I have never heard of anyone getting banned (For bots anyways).

Click to expand...

Possible? Yes.
A good idea? Not really.

You could put a special "encryption" that you could decode on your site. However, if anyone was to open the map in a editor and check out the code, they could pretty much generate any total bullshit score with the code once they knew the "secret hash"...

Your site would more than likely just fill up with complete bullshit scores that someone generated after reading your encryption method, aka a complete waste.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
