Hey Fligg, please confirm 2 things before I start working on the icons (which will happen today or tomorrow):

1. Size: is 32x32 OK, or it must be 20x20;
2. Alpha: do they need Alpha or not?

Cheers,
PKR.

Yes, 32 x 32 is fine. If I need to resize them to fit the scheme, it is better to go from larger to smaller anyhow. I don't see why they would need alpha. They are just simple icons. :hehe:

I am working on implementing image uploading today. This will be for avatars and character galleries.


As for the console, the in-game portion of this is going to detect how many times the console has been opened, as well as game-time that has passed. That will gives us all an idea of how a character has attained their level.


Thanks for all of the input guys, we've got a lot of work ahead of us!

maybe make it -1 times used because you have to open console to upload character o_O

Right, the console also has to be used for one of the patches (MW Code Patch, i think it is)
But you know what I mean, The "StarctScript PatchScript" code that you do for each character you make.

Well, once a set-up script is added, that'll be one less console. But the console openings alone won't tell anyone if you cheat. The other info will (5-hour old char with massive stats...).

As of last night, the internal version of CnE (not the alpha release) has been updated to allow more data upload, including master files and anything Fligg wants to script in. I've also fixed a couple of bug-ish things and added/tweaked parts.
Once Fligg gets the bug reports compiled and over to me, I'll take care of anything there.

Im not sure where i was suposed to put this:

1. Ease of registering a new character = 5
2. Ease of selecting and uploading the save file = 5
3. Speed of upload = 5
4. Accuracy of the uploaded data when viewing your character = 5
5. Accuracy of your character being associated with your account = 5
6. Clarity of the readme instructions. = 4
7. Do you have any suggestions regarding the registration prosess: nope
8. What do you think of the character display and character list: :thumbsup:

I honestly think this could not have been better

Hey wheres that book mentioned?

Hey Fligg, I just wanted to report that I now have two characters in the database and it's working flawlessly.

how long until I can start uploading avatars? I already have some 90x90 avatars for my characters ready.

Hehe exorince your the highest leveled on their so far. Is that an existing char or an new char?

Also: is MCA going to be a cheating mod?? Also ve???

heh, level 7

It's a new char

hmm i started today only level 2 got past first few fighters quests and two white woes.
also is their going to be an inventory display on the website? where you can see everything in their inventory?

I'm working on the image uploading now.

We won't display the entire inventory, that's a lot of data to harvest. But we will get what you have equipped, your gold, your encumbrance, and perhaps the combined value of your inventory.

Ok will this be compatibal with the pigions mod that im hearing about. I think these to mods would be really good together ( i think its pigions mod i cant remember the name. Something about mailing people stuff in game.)

Would it be possible to display, in addition to those, five items that player can choose. So we could show our favourite toys, which aren't always weapons or armor, to others.

It says each player will get a screenshot gallery you could put your.. "toys" their.

it also may be a good idea to implement a deletion option since I have done two different tests...and would like to delete them to make space for one of my veteran characters.

that way I don't clutter up the space =/...

(Future eye candy thoughts: )
In regards to the data you can showcase, as Fligg listed here:

I think most of that data should be shown in the badge system. Except for things like weather, companion #, equipped items and current cell.
Also, maybe the badges could be "grouped" into general areas, like Combat, Quests, Magika, etc, and each group would have a distinctive template badge. For example, all the Combat badges could have a red background, Magicka badges could be blue, and so on. Then each separate achievement would have it's own graphic over the background. Backgrounds could be ribbons, shields, circles, squares, whatever. Ideally each badge would have a name, but that might not be feasible.

Combat Badges could be:
-Cliffracers Killed (20 "Hounded", 40, 60, 80, 100, 200 "Juib")
-Accurate Hits (hits on target) (25 "In Training", 50, 100, 300, 500, 1000 "Master of Arms")
-NPCs Killed
-Creatures Killed

Magicka Badges:
-Spell Cast Attempts (20, 40, etc)
-Cast Failures
-Cast Successes

Quest Badges:
-Delivered the Package (the first MQ mission) (just a Done badge. As a way to see who plays full characters without the MQ)
-Informant (finished the "Zainsubani Informant" main quest. I don't think there should be badges for each quest, rather there should be a "check-point" series of badges)
-Second Trial /or Immune (completed the Corprus Cure main quest)
-Hortator (all three houses done)
-Nerevarine (all clans done)
-Hero of Vvardenfell (MQ done)
-Broke the Curse (Sleepers Awake side quest done)
-Backdoor Nerevarine (used the jury-rigged thingy-bobber successfully)

and so on and so forth.

Also, could there be a way to "float" badges around different character in the database? Like, one week "Joe" has the Rotten Luck (lowest luck) badge, and the next week "Jill" has it. Or should that just be a search function?

I'm just randomly thinking.

For someone like me, the console would probably register as having been opened a lot because I have a bad habit of switching hairstyles.

I use console a lot too, for fixing errors and taking pics.

Would it be possible for this mod to support NoM, like showing is your character hungry, thirsty, sleepy, drunk....

I use it it to fix things as well so either way its gonna say like a billion times it's been opened.

Heh, that was a touchy subject...

No one has mentioned NoM yet, but I think it's a great idea.
Although, Fligg has mentioned we will be able to add a little blurb about "mood" and "current activity."

Would it also be possible to say what your currently equipped gear is and possibly your most used spell of each school is? Being a predominantly magicka oriented player I would love to see those sorts of thing, especially if it's custom spells and it could display what the spell does

That would certainly make things interesting.

The console tracking will only be part of it. The main thing we'll look for is days vs level ratio. After all, I can make a godly character by opening the console once.

NOM is on my list.

So yeah, you can now go upload images to your character's gallery (and view it!) Avatars coming soon....

I get a blank screen when I click to enlarge pics in the galleries.

I uploaded a picture of my character


Same thing happens to me
