Splork
If you have anymore events you would like me to log, please let me know and I can add them.
Very nice! Is the data live ? if it is, not showing completed quests, if it isnt live i’ll check again later :)
P.s. Lifeless vs Liveless ?
I think there are a couple bugs in my logging but the blog should be pretty close to live. I will see if I can fix the things I have noticed tonight.
Splork
I’ve fixed a couple small bugs that was causing some odd behavior in our output.
There are also plenty of different messages now so the blog should be slightly more entertaining now. If you have a saying or msg you would like to have displayed, just inform me online and I can add them quite easily.

Would be nice if it listed when epic mobs were killed, maybe like “Atwell lead 24 adventurers to victory against Baraneth, the golden scaled dragoness.” kind of thing, if that’s possible.

** the Grand Magus showed Chi the path to enlightenment - the Grand Magus is now prime Level 40 at 9 o’clock am on the Day of the Moon
I wonder if that shouldn’t be “Chi is now prime Level 40 at 9 o’clock am on the Day of the Moon”.
Very entertaining btw, looks like a very cool addition.
I’ve cleaned up a couple more bugs, including the one listed by Avatar, thanks and added a few more entertaining messages for people.
Thanks for the compliments,
Splork

Hi,
thanks weasel for the bug report.
I found the shival-bug - the problem is Ivec is called ‘Ivec, the supply merchant’ - 1 comma to much :)
I’ll give splork a tell about how we possibly could fix that - but it’s no big issue :)
About the missed raises - if you could provide me date/time/playernames I can look it up and try to track down the bug.
I added you in icq, so you just can give me a tell if I’m not ingame :)
Regards,
broeggle
Nice addition to the web site. Thanks
Hi
I added / modified the blog so that we now have an rss feed
add/read it with you favorite rss reader (e.g. liferea / firefox)
Please tell me what you think about it :)
What’s the RSS thing supposed to do? I’ve tried clicking the link both in the post and on the blog, as well as typing out the address, and nothing ever comes up. The blog’s link opened up an empty browser window…
Broeggle is going to write up a small tutorial tomorrow along with a small summary of what RSS is.
I have to admit, he had to email me this info this morning but I found it to be quite fun and useful.
Splork
Hi,
Has anyone considered looking here?
[url:1pg7pqp1]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=rss&btnG=Google+Search[/url:1pg7pqp1]
err.. feed.rss.php? do you have it in .xml format?
I’ve removed the old blog for several reasons but mostly because I fixed Weasel’s bug and I did not feel like manually editing hundreds of entries.
The new one will start reading soon,
Splork
Hi - the blog is fixed and up again - now even mobs with ugly names appear correctly in the blog - thanks to splork - I did just a minor change in order to fix it.
@weasel : don’t care about file extensions,please - the rss feed is a valid xml file, in accordance to the rss 2.0 specs - and my reader parses ist, and usually all other readers don’t care about it either.
The problem ist, that the feed is genereated atm dynamically with php -> but only .php files are interpreted as php atm :)
@weasel: if you still have problems with it - and insist on your aggregator - I’ll find a solution for you - just give me a tell :)
The Tutorial/Explanation will follow soon - just have to mud first :)
Peter
No worries, I’ll get it sussed - one parser I use converts xml docs to HTML format for publishing, but it seems to have issue with that extension (although there’s an updated version coming out soon, so that issue will likely solve itself).. as you mentioned, I can just load it up in FireFox anyway.
Cheers.
Are we able to add an argument to that URL of <LINK_TEXT text=“http://www.slothmud.org/modules/Sloth_B … og.rss.php”>http://www.slothmud.org/modules/Sloth_Blog/slothblog.rss.php</LINK_TEXT> if we want just a personalized feed? Not that I want to, just a question that popped into my head.. :shock:
Hi
of course is that implemented :)
so if you want to see me dying use
[url:2vzrk86i]http://www.slothmud.org/modules/Sloth_Blog/slothblog.rss.php?pname=broeggle[/url:2vzrk86i]
as url :)
Hehe - may be there a some other features you can think off - tell me :)
Thanks :)
If you’re into doing feeds atm, feeds from the ‘who’s online’ and ‘who’s grouping’ could be handy too :)
So - sorry it took so long, was a bit busy the last time.
But finally I have created a tutorial for all the people out there who still ask themselves ‘wtf is rss’
It is located here:

Feel free to contact me if you want to see your rss reader there too.
Regards,
broeggle
Nice this sounds really kinda cool, I dig the firefox in German too!
