Title: Editor Problems
Post by: ultimate7 on 12/01/04, 04:23:52 PM
I guessing these maybe due to IE?  I can't seem to load many ROMs (Including the one I just made).  It is on the list but nothing happens when I try to load it, also about 2/3rds of the list can't be loaded.

I know the NES and Arcade can, as can BeeJays DeeNeeRBI ROM, but not sure why I can't load the others.

Also the 2 or 3 ROMS I have made, I've always clicked "make available to others" though it seems it has always made it private (not on the load list).

Nightwulf, any ideas or just my bad for using IE?

Fixed, I think. For who knows what reason, the script wasn't able to write to the directory in which your ROMs are stored on the server. The directory is writable again, and my apologies. Thus is the fun of making web-based software work via FTP clients.

"2/3rds" of what list can't be loaded? I may have to throw something together to verify every ROM stored.

ROMs that you "own" won't show up under the "Other ROMs" list if you're logged in; they appear once in your "My ROMs" list and won't appear again. Are you logged in when noticing this?

I need a cigarette.

Quick fix ... changed the order things are done in when you save a ROM. If for some reason the editor can't save it, an error occurs before anything else happens. You'll get an ugly "500 Internal Server Error" (for now), but at least you don't think it's saved when it's really not.

Me too.  When the wife was out of town I drank every other night and averaged about a half a pack of Camel Lights a day.  This is nowhere near my old total of a pack and a half but now I'm craving for a smoke.  I'm sure the 4 Buds have nothing to do with it.

Probably closer to 1/2 or maybe even less, as a test:

rbi_nesdraft by dvldog won't load

Also I noticed some of my older ROMs showing up today that weren't there yesterday, so that is good.  But the ROM  I made yesterday (RBIGTL ) os something close) is gone, if the save just failed, I'll do again, but if it is lingering somewhere that would be cool.

Thanks for your help Nightwulf.

I'll have to verify each of the ROMs in the index as actually existing. The ROM you made yesterday, unfortunately, is gone. It was added to the index before the editor realized it couldn't write to your directory, and doesn't actually exist. It's my fault for not being more anal about checking write permissions anywhere the editor needs to go, though I've no idea how I suddenly lost write access to your directory.

In your directory (which is now writeable, btw) I found three files, none of which were listed in the index. I readded them to the index and removed RBIGTL, which is why they're suddenly back again. My best guess is that you deleted them, so they were removed from the index, but the editor was unable to actually delete the file associated with them. I threw them back in the index just in case that's not what happened.

FYI, I don't think I ever deleted any of my ROMS, no problem that the one was lost, thanks again for the help.

Did a quick verification of files. 66 previously couldn't be loaded because of file permission bullshit. 2 couldn't be loaded because of errant filenames. These are all fixed. 5 simply didn't exist on the server, and have been removed from the index.

I'll probably be rebuilding the index shortly since it's no longer a huge pain in my ass to do it (hooray Gantry!) My apologies for the problems.

Nightwulf, to completely pile onto your list of shit to do...

Could you check about an error that I keep getting with my Fantasy League ROMs. The initals for The Creamy Pirates (Cp) and Da ShitPaws (Sp) wind up with extra pixels on them, so they almost look Cyrilic. Even if I erase the intials and retype or hand draw, it still comes back after I save. It's very odd, and I'm curious as to what's happening.

Here's what it looks like in the team select menu...

Fixed. The routine that magically turns your ROM into a set of Javascript variables was mistakenly using the 8th row of the second icon as the 8th row of the first icon.

OK, that makes sense. Thanks.

When will you add the part where the game gives you a blowjob for each home run?

Anyway, you rule, Nightwulf. :D
