_NOPE_

They most likely won't make any major forum changes until they install the new software.

And... my internet got wiped out due to an electrical storm. I may not be able to do any more code updates today, because while I can use my Cell Phone as a hotspot at home, I'm not going to leave it at home to keep my connection working while I'm at work to remote in... so I won't be alot of help until tonight....

Feel free to move those back into your main directory if you've grabbed the newest copy of the Parser.

I just released a fix for this. It looks like there's some "junk" in some of the memberIDs stored, standard internet junk. I'm now splitting that memberID by newlines and taking the first actual number that I can parse, which seems correct because the junk has all been alphanumeric rather than numeric. This one requires an updated Parser, please get it from the OP.

Yes, this is an awesome error to have.

That means y'all are overwhelming my server! That's actually a GOOD thing. If we keep that up, this list will be parsed in no time!

Yes, that's the new table being populate that will allow us to connect threads to users.

Well, when you get the chance, can you attach to your post your whole error log? That'll help me troubleshoot.

Well, that's just because I'm an idiot and was writing the filename to the console instead of the error file. This is what happens when you're trying to do too many things at once: Fix published, but I didn't increment the version number for that minor bug. Get the new version if you want it.

Oh yeah, we're in this for the long haul, thanks for all your efforts!

I feel like a Star Wars meme should go here, but I can't think of one.

That's awesome, thank you for your help. And yes, the version check is intentional. I wanted to make sure people weren't parsing with a bad parser, so on every loop, I'm having the parser check the database to ensure that you have the latest "good" version of the Parser. Let me know how it goes!

OOOO! I think I dinged... level.... two hundred?

I've just pushed out a critical update for the Parser, please redownload it as soon as you read it. Here's the details: Added new UserInThread table to my schema, and created "UserInThreadExists" and "AddUserInThread" methods, so that we can make an index table linking UserIDs to the ThreadIDs of the threads that they have posted in. This will let the magic happen that will allow you to search for all threads that a person has posted in. Later on, I'll make a mini-app that queries all of the existing data, and corrects the lack of these records for all previously parsed data. BugFix - The parser, when coming across an error, was renaming the file to "Error + FileName" instead of moving it to the error directory... because I forgot to add a backslash into my concatenation - d'oh! If you have any files in your folder that start with the word "Error", you'll need to rename them to take the "Error" portion off, sorry! BugFix - .WARCSKIP files should no longer be created. I thought I'd already taken that part of the code out, but it looks like I just took out the part that checks for them.

This is why I just sell mine for 1 Inf on the market. I don't want that crap, I just want the badge!

Okay, dropped it from 36 to 24, how's that?

in the text box on the bottom left of the screen, just type "pillar". It'll be in there somewhere.

This is only moving as fast as it is because someone at the Internet Archive had a foresight to preserve the forums in September of 2012 before they disappeared. I still have a spider going for the Wayback Machine for s***s and giggles, but that still isn't even CLOSE to done. I don't know if anybody did that preservation for the EU forums. If you can find me an archive, I can parse it. Do you know the old URL? I can check the Wayback Machine, it might be easier with the EU because I'm assuming there'd be less data.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm just saying that we have to explore repercussions for things like this that might SOUND like a simple request on the surface, but underneath may not in fact be simple at all when you dig into it.

Or they're really really busy.

You can see for yourself if you run the Viewer program and click the Contributors window:

+1 to this thread.

What if you have multiple story arcs running? You can actually have three story arcs running at the same time, so how would the game know which to "auto-set"? What if you had a story arc, but you didn't WANT it to auto-set right now, instead you wanted to set another mission. How do you tell the game when that happens?

Runners. Just f***ing runners, man.

I'm also back in the Parsing game again.
