My Signiture

[Cagarner]

Ok, i have had a number of PMs and stuff about people who are confused about my Signiture, so i have made this post to explain.

Firstly, the signiture is one that randomly shows 1 of 10 images i have made, as shown below:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

If anyone else wants to do this, You have to have a folder on a webserver, and then put this file into the folder, along with any images you have.

FYI the code is also below:

<?php

/*

        INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Modify the $folder setting in the configuration section below.
    2. Add image types if needed (most users can ignore that part).
    3. Upload this file (rotate.php) to your webserver.  I recommend
       uploading it to the same folder as your images.
    4. Link to the file as you would any normal image file, like this:

            <img src="http://example.com/rotate.php">

    5. You can also specify the image to display like this:

            <img src="http://example.com/rotate.php?img=gorilla.jpg">
        
        This would specify that an image named "gorilla.jpg" located
        in the image-rotation folder should be displayed.
    
    That's it, you're done.

*/




/* ------------------------- CONFIGURATION -----------------------


    Set $folder to the full path to the location of your images.
    For example: $folder = '/user/me/example.com/images/';
    If the rotate.php file will be in the same folder as your
    images then you should leave it set to $folder = '.';

*/


    $folder = '.';


/*    

    Most users can safely ignore this part.  If you're a programmer,
    keep reading, if not, you're done.  Go get some coffee.

    If you'd like to enable additional image types other than
    gif, jpg, and png, add a duplicate line to the section below
    for the new image type.
    
    Add the new file-type, single-quoted, inside brackets.
    
    Add the mime-type to be sent to the browser, also single-quoted,
    after the equal sign.
    
    For example:
    
    PDF Files:

        $extList['pdf'] = 'application/pdf';
    
    CSS Files:

        $extList['css'] = 'text/css';

    You can even serve up random HTML files:

        $extList['html'] = 'text/html';
        $extList['htm'] = 'text/html';

    Just be sure your mime-type definition is correct!

*/

    $extList = array();
    $extList['gif'] = 'image/gif';
    $extList['jpg'] = 'image/jpeg';
    $extList['jpeg'] = 'image/jpeg';
    $extList['png'] = 'image/png';
    

// You don't need to edit anything after this point.


// --------------------- END CONFIGURATION -----------------------

$img = null;

if (substr($folder,-1) != '/') {
    $folder = $folder.'/';
}

if (isset($_GET['img'])) {
    $imageInfo = pathinfo($_GET['img']);
    if (
        isset( $extList[ strtolower( $imageInfo['extension'] ) ] ) &&
        file_exists( $folder.$imageInfo['basename'] )
    ) {
        $img = $folder.$imageInfo['basename'];
    }
} else {
    $fileList = array();
    $handle = opendir($folder);
    while ( false !== ( $file = readdir($handle) ) ) {
        $file_info = pathinfo($file);
        if (
            isset( $extList[ strtolower( $file_info['extension'] ) ] )
        ) {
            $fileList[] = $file;
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);

    if (count($fileList) > 0) {
        $imageNumber = time() % count($fileList);
        $img = $folder.$fileList[$imageNumber];
    }
}

if ($img!=null) {
    $imageInfo = pathinfo($img);
    $contentType = 'Content-type: '.$extList[ $imageInfo['extension'] ];
    header ($contentType);
    readfile($img);
} else {
    if ( function_exists('imagecreate') ) {
        header ("Content-type: image/png");
        $im = @imagecreate (100, 100)
            or die ("Cannot initialize new GD image stream");
        $background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
        $text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0,0,0);
        imagestring ($im, 2, 5, 5,  "IMAGE ERROR", $text_color);
        imagepng ($im);
        imagedestroy($im);
    }
}

?>

Have fun!

ah confusing.... my brain hurts! i think ill pass on that one, but thanks for taking the time to 'explain' it us mere mortals

[Killermoose]

Once my brain has started working again I think I'll give it a try. Though I don't know when my brain will start functioning again (its the weekend, give me a break! )

[Stubber]

I'm begining to think you're either a computer programmer or are just seriously, freakishly gifted with computers.

I've tried terragen. I can't even get the camera to look down vertically at the terrain.

[Cagarner]

Well, im not a computer programmer, im only 17 years old.

For the terragen problem, here is how to fix it:

1. On the "Landscape View/Sculpt" Panel, where you alter the camera angle, you need to left click, then right click on the same point on the map. The 3 lines that represent the camera view should disapear.
2. Go onto the "Rendering Control" Panel and look on the right hand side. There should be loads of text boxes with numbers in.
3. Click on the tick box next to "Fixed Height Above Surface".
4. Then alter the value in the text box next to it. I think 7000.m is a good number to start at.
5. Simply alter the altitude until it looks good.

Hope that helps.

PM for any other help.

quick question, where/what is the source of the image used in sig number 4?

[Cagarner]

Here is a link to it: Here

Are you going to make a signiture out of it????

[Heroka Vendile]

no, its just i didn't recognise it, and that would be why, i'm not a player of the 40K CCG

[boundy]

may i ask what you mean by webserver... I've just woken up and i'm a bit drowzy dp you mean a website? what is a webserver sorry for being a noob lol

[Cagarner]

It is a large computer that holds a website(s). I dont own my own one, but I rent a certain space on one for my website.

[boundy]
