DOWN WITH THE CRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --Imthatguy 18:55, 3 July 2009 (BST)

am i properly set up for the sim map ?

i "registered" with you, but it doesn't seem my reports are getting fed to the map. is it alt specific? if so, contact me and i'll give you info for the alts i'm using the map with. thanks. --WanYao 08:36, 7 July 2008 (BST)

You are set up. It tracks users only by their "registration phrase", so it is not alt specific. If you have the udSIMsniff script installed, just click the "submit data" button after you've used scent death, and it will ask for that phrase. It only asks the first time you do this on any machine- after that, its stored on the machine, in the about:config file. If your submission is going through at all and it recognizes you as a user, there should be a lag in the page opening after you click that button, and you will get a message saying your submission is accepted (or, in rare cases, rejected).
If you are not getting that message and the page is opening rather quickly after your submission, then sim.urbandead.com does probably not recognize you as a user. I have you registered; your phrase MD5 (which is all I actually store) works out to be 15b29ffdce66e10527a65bc6d71ad94d. You can find out what passphrase you are actually using by typing about:config as your browsers url, and searching for greasemonkey.scriptvals.http://iwitnesniffSend.urbandead.info /udSimSniff.SIMregistration. You may want to visit http://www.adamek.biz/md5-generator.php and see if we have the same phrase. If not, I'll need to update my file to reflect the pass phrase you are actually using (unless you can figure out the one that actually gives that MD5 result- then you can just update about:config.) SIM Core Map.png Swiers 17:28, 7 July 2008 (BST)
Well, as far as I can tell, we're on the same page with my passphrase. However, when I try to send a report, I get no message saying it was successfully submitted and, yes, the map opens quite quickly. So, I'm not sure what's up... --WanYao 02:17, 10 July 2008 (BST)

New registration

Just checking to see if I'm registered. --JikWaffleson 16:06, 8 July 2008 (BST)

Not if you haven't previously contacted me privately to provide a registration phrase. Entering your registration phrase on your computer simply stores it there; I also need to enter it on the sites server. I do this manually because anonymous registration (such as allowed on most forums, etc) isn't really any better than no registration at all, in terms of preventing abuse. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 18:26, 8 July 2008 (BST)

Saving time.

I've finally got an answer to your how does this save time question on Talk/suburb. Once the cat, tells you what groups are being checked for activivty, you simply click from the talk page to the main page of the group and click what links here. That would list all suburbs the group was listed on. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 21:00, 9 July 2008 (BST)

Alt-logos

Marven and Giddings already had alt logos, Marven, Giddings.--Karekmaps?! 09:05, 18 July 2008 (BST)

So I found; I used the one for Giddings, iirc. I don't like they way the imnage's work on the pages though; the mall logos all have white backgrounds so that, when used on a white page, they seem "borderless". The alts all have very clear borders, and look like... well, jpg images slapped into code, rather than bloodstains that got dripped on the page. The ones I did avoid that problem, but aren't nearly as nice in other ways. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 19:52, 18 July 2008 (BST)

Sig

Your sig doesn't seem to have a link to your user page (unless it's very well hidden) -- boxy talki 03:56 22 July 2008 (BST)

Check the external link symbol. But if its making it hard to tell who I am, I'll change it soon. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 04:23, 22 July 2008 (BST)
Your external link doesn't show up here. What symbol is it supposed to display? -- boxy talki 06:34 22 July 2008 (BST)
The same one as is after any external link. The text for the link is a zero length joiner HTML entity, which means only the "arrow" shows up (or maybe doesn't show for your browser). Just look at http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=User:Swiers/Sig&action=edit --SIM Core Map.png Swiers 08:05, 22 July 2008 (BST)

I'm pretty sure I uploaded these files a long time ago, but they seem to have been removed. I couldn't find them in the speedy deletions page, so is there anyway to recover those files from the site if you have special access?--Insomniac By Choice 10:57, 22 July 2008 (BST)

I don't think so. I can restore the deleted image page, but that does not restore the associated uploaded images. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 17:48, 22 July 2008 (BST)
Alright. Thanks anyway.--Insomniac By Choice 20:45, 22 July 2008 (BST)

SIM

Karen Arlette, an MCI agent, brought a suggestion to the group not long ago about contributing to your scent map while dead. Interested in an extra nose or two? I'd be glad to register, and can recommend it to other members of my group. --FT MCI 03:13, 28 July 2008 (BST)

Sure. I just need a contact link and passcode (anything that only you and I would know) for each user (person, not character). Using the "e-mail this user" link at left to send me a pass-code of your choosing works for that. If you like, you could have one contact link (say, a group wiki page) & passcode for your entire group, so that people don't need to do this individually. The only drawback there is if somebody uses that passcode to vanadalize the map (submit bad data) I'd have to cut off the whole group. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 03:53, 28 July 2008 (BST)

I'll need a private registration code for you as a user. It can be any word or phrase you like, but don't post it here- use the "e-mail this user" link to the left, in the toolbox section. Or, you can just use the registration code "anonymous". SIM Core Map.png Swiers 19:20, 5 August 2008 (BST)

User SIM map

nice work on the contributors sim map, very groovy. Although i'm noticing a bit of a glitch there atm. I've waited a few hours since posting a new shot and while the area where i uploaded is solid (as in in the last 24 hrs) it's showing up as part my colour and part yours. Check my main section down SW to see what i mean. Not really an issue at all but it's bugging me....--xoxo 14:06, 7 August 2008 (BST)

It probably was because your browser cached the image, rather than loading a fresh version for each view. I fixed that issue with the same cache-blocking trick I used on the main map page. I also changed thins so that the user color map is re-drawn when you view the stats page, rather than as a chronjob. It adds a fair bit of lag to viewing the page (though only when re-drawing is needed) but ensure views of the user color map on the stats page are are always up to date with the database.

You've seen a 77ap ruin? Any chance i could get the iwit/screenshot of it if you have?--xoxo 09:07, 12 August 2008 (BST)

I didn't see it personally. Nubis posted a screenshot here. Apparently the building is in Dunnell Hills. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 19:10, 12 August 2008 (BST)
Only suburb where it'll ever happen probably. Well that and Eastonwood. Neither one has seen people trying to clean it up since the update. There might be some other places in the NW. The DHPD kinda gave up on Dunnell Hills and as far as I know that's the only suburb in the game where zombies are actively trying to hold territory(the whole Something Awful thing). 2 and a half months of zombies holding it is insane though, it's not like it's hard to empty the buildings, I mean COMBAT REVIVE did do it.--Karekmaps?! 22:44, 12 August 2008 (BST)
Its hard if there's a rotter or two in there, and if you have to cross 15+ blocks of ruins to get there, very few folks are even gonna consider it. Survivors are very short sighted; they'll let a whole area go to hell before they respond just because there's an invisible line (suburb border) / free run gap between them and the ruins. Also, to their defense, with zombies inside, you can't tell how many AP it will take to repair, because you don't have that option. The condition descriptions are a relatively new thing. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 04:33, 13 August 2008 (BST)
2 rot zombies in a dark building requires a handy slab of coordination to repair. Plus everyone hates DH so why would anyone bother? Considering the amount of zombies there i find it weird (tho easily explainable) that it's the suburb that suffers from a lack of SIM data the most.--xoxo 09:35, 13 August 2008 (BST)

Im glad someone else has realised the impossible to cross suburb border mentality out there. Say what you like about trenchies, At least they cross the border between Pennville and Whittenside.--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 10:04, 13 August 2008 (BST)

Ha, I chuckled.--Nallan (Talk) 06:11, 14 August 2008 (BST)


Understand that for strategic reasons I don't post more specifics, but there are well over a dozen buildings at 60 - 70 AP to repair. We are very actively holding the Hills. (and many of us are rotters) That was one of the things we pushed when we formed the Dead. Karek, we have been holding the Hills since November, but it only started mattering after the update. J3D, we will never contribute SIM data because we are jerks like that. :P --– Nubis NWO 06:54, 14 August 2008 (BST)

Hey, about Wan

Because I've been barred from Wans page (for a comment that wasn't even intended as a flame, although it was late when I wrote it and kindof harsh in hindsight), I thought I would let you know what I thought of Wan. I don't think he is a random asshole in the crowd either. If he was a random asshole I wouldn't have a problem, and I too wouldn't have posted. I usually have somewhat a sense of sympathy for Wan, I know he means well, but sometimes his people skills let him down a little, and it pisses off a helluva lot of users, I'm sure. I am sure Wan intends the best with his NPOV edits, but it's not the edits I have a problem with, it's his nature, and then his defense of his nature, saying that there is no point in him being nice etc. Just thought I would drop you a line to let you know that I wasn't intending on flaming, or intending to seem aggressive, I'm sure it was about 1am at the time and well, you probably know how people get when they are tired.

So yeah, just thought I would clear myself up, and hopefully Wan will read this or something. Thanks--CyberRead240 07:24, 27 August 2008 (BST)

I'd like to again formally invite BrainROT RUM to participate, and I hope to list you. Really, if only one person participates, that's the group as far as I'm concerned.

Also - I'd like to invite you, Swiers, or some member you designate, to be part of the Player Killer Olympic Committee (PKOC or Peacock) - you'd be a vote to resolve any issues that come up. Also if you were so inclined, you could help verify submissions. This would not be required though, as I am sure I'll wind up doing most of that.

Wiki question, relating vaguely to a bright idea of yours.

I wanted to make a page here with a redirect, but started by just plopping down a little bit of text to make the page (which I know is an unnecessary step, but didn't think it was a harmful one). I then snagged the name of the page I wanted to redirect to, came back, and put the redirect in- replacing all other text on the page. Now... I thought that this would be sufficient to create a redirect, but it hasn't. It's still displaying the original text- even though, if you click the edit button, you can see that that's clearly been removed. It's like a ghost, man! Do you have any idea what I did wrong?--ØxØ 08:32, 21 September 2008 (BST)

Err, okay... it's made my link into a Red Rum link. And apparently, nowiki tags, pre tags, and leading spaces all fail to eliminate html formatting.... so I think you're going to have to look at the comment's source to see what I mean. That, at least, looks fine.--ØxØ 08:41, 21 September 2008 (BST)
No idea what's happening. Try replacing the FIRST character in the name to create your pseudo-page. That's what I did, and I did not have these problems. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 20:37, 22 September 2008 (BST)

Salt The Land

Hi swiers, did you originally make the Salt The Land Policy page?

Also ... did you get anywhere with that greasemonkey script for iWitness? I miss the addon which won't load in FF3. --Zeug 05:42, 21 October 2008 (BST)

No, and no. You don;t need a GM script; the bookmarklets still work fine. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 07:40, 22 October 2008 (BST)
Yeh my prob was using them in the frameset Taccon but no matter, will get back to the GM script.--Zeug 10:24, 22 October 2008 (BST)
If you konw enough JS to do a GM script for iWitness submissions, you should be able to easily modify the BMs to work in your frameset; just alter them to pull body.innerHTML from the relevant frame instead of from the main window. Actually, I'm not 100% sure that will work; there may still be referer problems (iWitness checks the referer, and won't accept submissions from, say, a proxy site) but those problems would also apply equally with a GM script. SIM Core Map.png Swiers 19:16, 22 October 2008 (BST)

Great news! You know how FF3 applies somke basic anti-alaising when upscaling an image, which rather destroys the SIM somewhat? Guess which other browser is doing it now? IE8! Woo!

Yeah, I've been planning to create / store the image at a much larger res for a while. Its a PNG, so there actually is very little difference in file size for a larger image composed of the same blocks of color. Its mostly just the annoyance of patching the code that's kept me from doing it.

I posted it here so I could share it with my group more easily. I hope that's ok. If not for some reason, tell me and I'll take it down. --Dazaras 20:38, 10 July 2009 (BST)

Inactivity

You are a week away from potentially being demoted due to inactivity. In a week your progress will be reviewed and your position on the sysop team will be affected according to the crats' decisions. Just a heads up. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 05:43, 31 August 2009 (BST)

You've now been demoted due to inactivity. Thanks for your contributions -- boxy talkteh rulz 10:11 9 September 2009 (BST)

Ha ha!

I found the ninja! I never searched very hard for it, but I finally got curious enough to find it. :) -- SA 00:46, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

....nin...ja? --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 00:47, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, swiers has had a hidden ninja on his page for years.-- SA 00:50, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

SIM!

Hey Swiers, where are you? After months of thinking SIM was broken for everyone, I have just found out that it's only not working for me. I sometimes try to update the map, but the scent doesn't show. However, there stats page seems to believe I have made a contribution. Hope you're doing alright. Get back to me when you get the chance. ~ Prep Fortress - BS01:00, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I've been in school, and disconnected the net at my home to save money & avoid distraction. sim.urbandead.info isn't getting much in the way of updates, so that may be an issue, but it has a new owner now, so... yeah. 01:26, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

UDWitness code

You're more than welcome to look at it. I have no idea if any of the back-end is the same--I just took the bookmarklet and used it as the basis for my submission method, since it seemed to work just fine. I'm busy with finals this week, but hit me up on Monday, perhaps.
