yup, the dots are 'cos of the bmp->gif conversion done by the server..I really need to use a png but I've not got any grafix apps installed on this 'pooter..

giffy(247 kb) is a very good bmp<->gif convertor.
Its supports both Graphical and Command line interface.

Yup it is...shame I need bmp -> png :)
Ok, maybe png isn't the holy grail that I was looking for: output image still looks like crap with a png...the search continues

Now that's what I talking about :)
Shame it's 24k too big for a sig. image :( damn rules ....
I chop 10k off the original image...and the server outputted on is 2k bigger that before...HUH?

can we some how use this for our server stats too?

February 1, 2004, 9:45 am
Yeah thats great Styx, how did you do it, or I should say, how can WE do it? :)
DNA.styx
February 1, 2004, 11:28 am
how did you do it
DNAG's GameStat.txt file is parsed by a .asp page then that page in turn it read by a dot.net script on one of my ISP's machines that creates the image.
or I should say, how can WE do it? :)
You could do the same, you could also use .php to do the same job.
Or you would need to be uploading your servers GameStat.txt file to our server for me to parse it. But we'll see if I wanna go down that route...

Styx, how did you meant to do your siggy? It sometimes load keys pressed, other times it loads the server stats and others it loads sTyx listening to nothing and the when page is completely loaded it reverts to the server stats sig.

Not quite sure how or why it would do that for you, my sig rotates semi-randomly. I never see it start to display one image...then revert to another :/
I was wondering, are you going to release it to the public?
Yea, I'll release it to anyone who show me that they know what to do with an aspx page :)
I've spent too much time previously giving code to folks only to find out they can't program/trying to run database stuff wrong etc

I've just switched from using the console server to using the old dedicated server...and now the stat images are all bust...looks like gamestat.txt is formated dif.
