Ok, just ran the thing on the backlog of reports. A good thing too, it seems the manual updating suddenly became much more patchy. Talk about timing. Anyway, I noticed a few minor errors I was able to patch on the fly. If you notice anything odd over the next few days and updates please shout.

One thing I spotted was that when logging reports, the bot posts a timestamp sans the timezone. It's actually always done this. Should I add the timestamp back in? I'd probably have to fix a lot of logs retroactively but guessing the timezone won't be a problem at least. On the bot's log I've already noticed the red links. The bot would update the disambiguated page but didn't record that name properly. I've fixed it so that fix should show up in the next record. | |||
Also, I'm still working on the "horde building" functionality. That's when you get a report "maybe 20 zombies outside the Specific Building" which happens so rarely I didn't worry much about it. That and it requires a lot of extra code because it can be any building whereas the general building reports are limited to strategic buildings. I ''did'' make it so that if this building is also reported on again in general status, the reports would be combined, but this failed :P | |||

CONTRIB WATCHINGYou probably already know this, but you've been added onto the contribution monitoring service. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 14:49, 24 August 2009 (BST) Image:Example.jpgIf you're not wanting it overwritten by teh newbs you can get it protected. I've just tested it out and you can't overwrite a protected image as a regular user. -- Cheese 21:58, 25 August 2009 (BST) Crazy EMRP ideaI'm sure you've been asked something along these lines before, but what are the odds you could create a bot that could analyze external military reports and update danger reports accordingly? So if say, Johnny posts a EMRP to be filed for Yagoton, and the bot sees the words "The Whatmore Building", it could use that section of the report (bounded by the ellipsis's on both sides) to update the building's Danger Report?--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 23:21, 28 August 2009 (BST)

Don't get it... Vista, Firefox, coding is fine. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 09:11, 31 August 2009 (BST)
Ha! Look at it now!
It just won't stop! --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 23:25, 31 August 2009 (BST) Try hitting Ctrl-0 (zero, not oh) on that page. --Bob Boberton TF / DW *walks away mumbling quietly about how much he hates Vista*... --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 15:06, 3 September 2009 (BST) |
