AltArc: source code released

[Destiny]

I want to sign up to altarc as Destiny. I can't though, because i have signed up for numa as _destiny^-, and for some reason you've made it require an N username. So i try to make a new username on N called Destiny, except i can't because someone else must have done many many years ago. So i give up, and try to sign up as _destiny^-, except i cant do that either, as it has characters that arent numbers or letters. Please do something that will allow me to sign up as Destiny. I dont want to have some other gay name :(

[Mae]

I'm also having name registering issues. My NUMA name is Mae (d'oh) but the minimum number of characters in a username for AltArc is four D:D:D:D:D:D:

It would be nice if you could notch that down to three... please:)

[Destiny]

It would be even nicer if you made the login system independant of N. As well as the min charactes XD

[Mae]

As well as the min charactes XD

Thanks for the support, Destiny :D

Okay, I'll bump the minimum characters down to 3, and I'll completely separate the highscore and AltArc login credentials. How about that?

[Mae]

Thanks much.

User stats aren't updating like they're supposed to. As far as I can tell, all users have an average rating of 0%, with 0 votes sent and 0 votes received.

[Inspired]

Also I noticed disabling ratings is not possible, intended?

Woohoo!

EDIT: Clicking maps at the top returns 0 results.

Did you try changing the date filter to 'eternity', rather than 'today', which is the default?

Why doesnt it just show the 10 most recent?

[Nexx]

Why doesnt it just show the 10 most recent?

It does. It just limits that to the current day by default. If you want it to show 10 most recent without limit, save your default as "from eternity".

Quick announcement: altarc.sector-five.net is not going to be the permanent URL. I've decided on a much, much shorter one (it'll still have 3 parts, but "sector-five" isn't going to stay for much longer). Also, I know I've been a lazy bum about fixing some of these bugs, so I'll get the aforementioned stuff in this thread out of the way later today.

EDIT: New update! From now on, the N highscore login stuff is totally separate from AltArc's login credentials. That means that people with weird names like _destiny^- and short names are good to go. The limitations with characters are still the same, but you can choose a different name to use on AltArc. For example, _destiny^- could be Destiny on AltArc, but it would still store _destiny^- as the highscore database username.

EDIT2: Aaaand I overwrote the map database yet again. -_-

Here's the source code. I'm taking down AltArc from my server. If anyone has serious interests in continuing this project, PM me for the map and user databases.

To reset someone's password, tell them to go to /pass.php?pass=NewPasswordHere and respond with the script's output. Put that hash in /core/db/users.xml - it should be fairly obvious where it goes. Just search for the user's name and insert it into <pass></pass> or whatever it's called. To ban a user, create /user/UserNameGoesHere/ban.txt and write the reason in a single line in that file. Feel free to ask me if you need help on anything else.
