Idea for a skript

Well I thought about it while changing 236P to /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif
Dono if its possible but it just has to change the different strings like 236P to : d : : df : : f : : P : or directly link the pictures.

I've done it with frontpage search & repalace: search: 236P and replace with:

<img alt="p" src="http://virtuafighter.com/forums/images/graemlins/default/p.gif" border="0">

I can't programm but I think it shouldn't be too hard to script.
It also could be made in form of a button to change the view on demand or as alternative for inputting the smileys one for one.

I don't mean as complete replace more as babelfish local (temporary) replace for viewing purposes.

And more as option while writing a post.
It's easier to write 41236P *press convert button* than [ P ] or in germany alt+8 for [ and alt+9 for ].
I bet in other countries its simmilar with the keyboard layout.

It would really speed up the process. Think about your kage maru black book combo post. How long would it have taken if you just pressed the numbers and + on the num pad and the p k g on the other side of the keyboard and then just press convert for the whole post. I bet it would have taken a lot less time. Of course it wouldn't differentiate between 2P for 2 Player but if the combos are written first and then the rest is added it wouldn't be a problem.

Yes thats why I've written: "if the combos are written first and then the rest is added it wouldn't be a problem. "

And its possible to work with exceptions like for 63Pts, if anything is followed by pts don't convert it.

Well it's just a suggestion...

About the joystick menu, how about overriding the num pad keys?
Dono if thats possible with html php ...
But if it is: Numbers for directions, except 5 for + and / for P, * for K, - for G

 

Re: Idea for an skript

I've thought of another way to realize such a script. If it checks strings if there is anything other than 12346789+pkg and if there is it won't convert it like: 41236P Is a Punch
it checks 41236P <- convert, Is <- do not convert, a <- do not convert, Punch <- do not convert. Of course this isn't totally error free but it's the best method I can think of.

 

Re: Idea for an skript

Yes you should have... If you have such a script already, then there is no point writing more suggestion on how it could work ^-^
