Dont worry about it themasta since you have Negative (Red) Rep you dont give or take any rep away anyway. If you want to know more about Reputation check here

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/reputation

Actually, if you read that whole document you will probably know more about reputation than most on this forum :D

Peace.

Yes, proper formatting of your tutorial is important here. Hint - if you are not good at that kind of stuff find someone who is that will proofread your Tutorial for you. Should not be too much of a problem to find someone like that here if you try. My 2 cents worth.

Why not open it in Word and spell check? A good looking tutorial doesn't look like something I wiped off my crack 10 mins ago.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the first trigger example... I am new to this. You say special effects, destroy quests.. all that stuff. I cant find it in the options - finding this really hard. Help?

Yeah. Dragonhord, I think if your tutorial is really for newbies, don't just list the triggers. They might not find them. Explain how to do the triggers, though it would be tiresome work ;-) BUT, after that, your tutorial would be a 5/5 one. Really excellent work it would be.

For now, I just point out some of the questions above:
@Maverick2002:
1) You're doing nothing wrong ^^ I see that you've completed the part left of the "=". For the right part, click it and in the "function" part there should be something like "Value + 1". Just click the "Value" and from the "Variable" list, choose "GreenDragonKills".

2) From the Dropdown list (the one you see while editing a condition), choose "Integer Comparison", and you see "(Number of Units....) Equal to 0". Click the left "(Number of units...)" and from the "Variable" list, choose "GreenDragonKills". For that "0" just change it to 10.

I changed some things :D anything else anyone can see that needs changing? Too hard to understand anything like that?

Ok check it out now and tell me what you think. Got rid of all of the :D . And i made a trigger help section for the confusing triggers that seemed like they would be hard to understand.

That hard work...I know what it's like when you do something you really admire,
and people keep coming to it saying it sucks and such things and
then you have to update all the time...and none of them gives credit to TRYING...

I dont know what happened to my rep :p I had about 100 before... now its gone completely... But that aside. I suppose I have to deal with the criticism because if it wasnt for smith and some of the other guys I would'nt have made the trigger help section :D . Thanks guys :D Thanking in my own tutorial? To other people? Kinda weird :p.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
