The transition to the new website is now almost complete. The process has been fairly smooth and I decided to add some more small things that were not originally planned (for instance a more intelligent 404 page). I'm currently adding icons to all projects so people can identify which projects news entries belong to by just looking at small icons. My to do list also contains a few CSS oddities that I plan to fix when I get the time, I just can't...
Welcome to a mostly new lokorin.com . I have spent the last week rebuilding the website from scratch and I hope that the changes will improve the website. The old site's file structure has mostly been imprinted on this new looks so most links should still be intact, there are also a fair few active rewrite rules to take care of the rest.
The old site's underlying structure (and look) had been the same for one year so I decided that it was time...
The Multi-Pupose Log Fitler's readme has been written and uploaded. Hopefully it should cover basic questions for now.
I have not integrated it to the site yet and probably wont for a few days. The reason is that I'm doing a big site rehaul which has kept me occupied the last few days. Hopefully you will see the results during the coming week, stay tuned.
*edit*
It's now integrated and the link has been updated.
I'm back again and am currently finishing up the log filter. The program itself is pretty much done now and the functionality will stay the same unless I get some suggestions on other useful things. The things I currently have left are to plan and make the bundled filters for common filtering uses along with writing the help.
The changes from last update are mostly focused on making the program more robust and filling in the last bits of functionality....
I have started making a small log filter for filtering all kinds of line based logs. The program was requested to filter things out from EQ2 logs but it will be possible to apply the filter to many other logs. The program is based on regular expressions and will hopefully allow people to quickly parse logs for interesting information.
The program's filters are user defined (with reg exp) but I plan on making small bundles of filters for people...
I have been playing around with XML RPC lately. XML RPC (Remote Procedure Calls) is a standard that uses XML to call remote procedures (hence the name). It is a quite powerful tool as it enables one to have a client and server, written in different languages, communicate without problems. The client and server parts can also be written in pretty much any language since XML is a broad standard that doesn't require any special language support. Of course...
I have uploaded a basic example of sending HTTP post to a server and then getting a response. The example downloads the last months news from this page via a HTTP post request. I have started a new project section to have some place to put these small java examples. Hopefully I can add a few more useful examples there to show how to do basic things.
I'm currently working on the updater, which is a bit harder. I had a look at Sun's webstarter but...
I have started on a new project. I was unable to come up with any tool or such that I needed so I have begun working on the collection program that will at some point be needed for DF Crafters. I will not start by making the collection part though, mostly because it could only be done partially before the game releases anyway. Instead I will start with making some more general classes that will be needed in the collector. These are the major things...
I have uploaded version 0.3.1 of the Simple Macro Maker. It mostly contains some minor bugfixes and restructuring of the code. The break tag is now implemented and a bug occuring when trying to save invalid XML has been fixed. The new versions can be downloaded from the SMM download page.
<break> Breaks the current for or while loop.
The week has been fairly boring. I have fixed and added a few thing to the Darkfall...
The website Darkfall Crafters has now been launched. There are still some things under the hood that have not been completed but those affect the item info system which wont have any info in it for months (as Darkfall isn't in beta yet). I will continue developing the site at the development location (http://dfdev.lokorin.com) for some time to come before I go back to working on SMM and other projects.
The major part of the website has been written...
