[PU|Suggestion] Newspaper

[FireDarkGuy]

First Newspaper patch v1.0.1

Download Here

1. Open Executor
2. Insert the special password: SecretPW or SecretPW2 (I will add more passwords for each team member after we will start the newspaper)
3. The HTML file will be opened and will execute &Redirect& (I will close so you can't open it in version 2)
4. Newspaper will be in the PHP file (I will add more PHP files for the newspaper).

Question.. why so much effort for a newspaper?

Also.. the "executor" is not really safe..

If $pass<>"SecretPW" Or "SecretPW2" Then

And it's full of bugs, like:

run( "cmd /c ""C:\Documents and Settings\acasa\Desktop\Softwares by M.Armand\Redirector.html""", "", @SW_HIDE )

In a Win32 without the "bugs" the script won't work. But if you want I will try to find some ShellExecute command to avoid the bugs...

Unsafe?
If $pass<>"SecretPW" Or "SecretPW2"
means $pass is secret.
I forgot to compile it. After I compile it, you can't open it with ANY EDITER FROM THE WORLD.

Sorry for double-posting but, Mr. Dark, tell me if it's better this time:

While 1
   $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
   Switch $nMsg
      Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         Exit
      Case $GoButton
         ShellExecute("Redirector.html")
   EndSwitch
WEnd

Updates:
Var d,f deleted, changed with ShellExecute,
Opening file now with no run command.

Nice idea, but what's the point of "hiring" forum members to make it? The team's going to be making it, right?

Although I'm willing to help out with spelling/grammar :3

 I don't know about that... Unless they believe the idea is worth it, I do not believe they will make this idea. But even if they did, it would be way after the game came out in full, since there are many more important stuff they have to make.

No we will not. We simply don't have the man-power to do this.

Unsafe as in, your passwords are in plain text in the script, so by opening the script in notepad the password can be found.

Even if you compile the app, it can be opened in a hex-editor If you want to be ultra-9001-safe you have to obfuscate the file but that is just too much effort for this. Then again.. I don't see why you want to protect the newspaper with a password?

[Flynt]

An in-game newspaper could not be available, because, I don't have permission to view the client's source and edit it, so I will make the website newspaper. I will extract what's the most important things and me and my team will add something intresting in it.

About the lazy members...If they are lazy they cannot even read...

Because being lazy means you don't know how to read now. Yeah okay.

And as long as the PU team feels like going along with the idea, it would be fairly simple just to turn the newspaper into an image file and allow it to be programmed in as being view-able by interacting with the newspaper rack near the entrance to the store, or something along those lines.

I don't know flash image(link in a photo). So...if we want an in-game newspaper we need some team-members who can do it.

nice idea.cn i join?

Yes, send me a PM with what you can do.

We need programmers for a "flash" thing newspaper or like Frenchfry said: "an image file" with links... Thanks.

ok.

  So just Allowed PU Members/Guests can see it.
Hmmm...You should edit the reply and delete "Notepad" from there...I compiled it^^

Who cares? If it's something you want to be posted on the front-page of the website or in-game it should be accessible for everyone.

Yeah there is no point to password protect something that we want all forum visitors and members to see.

As far as how to post it.  The writers should send their columns to an editor.  Who then compiles it and forms the paper.  After that just put it up for download somewhere, and make a thread with links for it.

In PU aren't much programmers. The only I know are:

• Mr. Dark
• Urmel
• Me

And I don't know how to make a flash newspaper...I will study more and it will take like 1 - 2 months.

It shouldn't be too hard.  And well, there is plenty of time.  I mean it's just the beta coming out in december.

[FireDarkGuy]

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Then you will do it? Wanna?

[Bing]

Not particularly,  I don't really have the time for that lol.  But I'm willing to help write articles in the future.

[Tickles]

Sorry about not getting you something, I was busy with other things, then I went to write, and just couldn't think of anything. So, put me in a position with writing, I can usually fit the bill for it. You can check out my other work on here site in case you want to know how much experience with writing I have.
