Festers Custom Signature Bar

[BBloke]

Excellent work Nova... I like the generation page (which I missed before LOL)

[hashbandit]

Nice work nova love the generation page. I'm not one for stats so loving the fact i dont have to have any stats on it at all

[Supernova]

Alright, had a really boring lecture on databases today so I took the time to add the following things instead of listening:

You can now also display on your sig:
The number of sandwiches you've eaten
The number of sentries you've built
The number of assists you've accumulated
The number of dominations you've accumulated
The most recent hlstats award you received
Your average ping
The country you are located in (not always accurate, nothing I can do about this)
Your server rank (eg "Captain", shown on your hlstatsx page)
Your connection time



These changes are all available using the generator which has also been updated. (Still doesn't look nice or let you enter text manually though)

Note that if you change your signature to something different currently it will show as the same signature until an hour has passed - but the output from the generator will be what it'll look like after an hour!
I'll fix that shortly

Once again, if anybody finds a bug let me know

very nice nova

[AngryWolf]

Thanks nova, very cool! But I have to say, I encountered 2 problems:

1. Unfortunately the "Most recent award: ..." text is so long that it takes 3 slots to display.
2. The connection time needs some formatting.

Oh and a few requests:

1. As a Medic, "Kill Assist - Medic" would be better for me instead of Assists.
2. Can you perhaps add the number of Ubercharges deployed too?

[Supernova]

Heh, balls, I actually made the change to the connection time, but it looks like instead of copying the new file into the old file I have copied the old file into the new one and undone any changes that I made

So now the test version on my laptop doesn't work either

I'll fix that now

Also, I'll add those two requests
Anybody else have anything else they want?


EDIT:
Generator now lets you add number of medic kill assists and number of ubers deployed.
I also fixed the error where your new sig would not display for an hour if you had changed it previously
(If you changed your sig less than an hour ago using the generator, you'll have to wait - or use the generator again!)

Trying to use the suicides stat in any location breaks the preview on the generator page. Seems to work ok for the main, cached version though.

[YamNivek]

The moon on a stick please.

[Supernova]

Alright, I've updated the suicides script to show suicides (I think I fixed this and then didn't save it or something :S)
However, I don't understand where hlstats gets it's data for it's suicide count from - my data comes straight from the suicides table in the database, and I've checked kills where the killer is the same person as the victim and it's not listed - I'll keep looking! Read: For now, suicides are broken!

I have also inadvertently created a new problem though! (grrr! )
In a very specific case... if you use the generator to make a new signature and then view the image directly my visiting the url that it pastes and then you find you don't like it, your sig will become that sig for an hour. To fix this, use the generator to put it back to how it was
Note: This includes people who manually add text - if you're playing around and don't want your actual sig to change, add my debug code &generate=true onto the end, and it won't overwrite your actual image, but please don't put that bit in your sig as it will cause more stress to the server whenever somebody views one of your posts (And I will remove it from your sig )

Also for those who posted since my last post - I've made an edit to that post saying ubers deployed and medic kill assists now work

thank you very much Nova ...the signature style is awesome.
could you change it so we have 12 positions we can choose from,
there's room for three more.

do you still need more pics ?
...if yes, what size should they be ?
