Sorry for the off-topic post, but does anyone here (NGamer,
creativename or someone with HTML experience, namely) know how CJay
does the code to randomize battle pics on the last few matches of the
contest? I would much appreciate it. --- LOL TRIOFROG http://www.ytmnd.com/users/Tirofog/ |

HTML is static, and can't be used for a dynamic need like displaying a
random picture. That's why CJay runs a randomizing script in php http://www.gamefaqs.com/shared/cb5/cb563.php in the same way that I use php to randomly display 3 of the 500 odd match pics at the top of lol x http://thengamer.com/xstats/ Now, I'm assuming you'd like to randomly display 1 of 5 or so pictures on the top of a web page. To do that, you just need open a new text file and name it index.php. Then paste this in there: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11-strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>"lol x-stats" | The GameFAQs Contest Simulator</title> </head> <body> <center> <? $r1 = rand(1,3); if ($r1==1) $piclocation = "http://mysite.com/pic1.jpg"; elseif ($r1==2) $piclocation = "http://mysite.com/pic2.jpg"; elseif ($r3==3) $piclocation = "http://mysite.com/pic3.jpg"; ?> <img border="0" src="<?=$piclocation?>"> Here is some text to appear on the page lol! </center> </body> </html> There's a quick and dirty way to do it. Because I have 455 pictures to choose from, I have all the options stored away in my xstats database, which makes the code considerably more complicated. But if you just have like 5 to randomize, bump that up to a rand(1,5) and add the extra ifs. Then you just have to upload that .php file to a server running php. If you're still on geocities or freewebs or something, hit me on AIM and I'll see what I can do for you on thengamer. --- thengamer.com/xstats = lol x-stats Still smarting from the beatdown Rufus applied in the Guru Contest! |

Any more comments about what will win the 360-GotY? It should be tomorrow as long as it goes by Xbox 360 like last year... ...I've still got my dibs on Oblivion, though GoW will keep it close. Between being on PC and 360, RPG > FPS on this site, Oblivion is still right behind GoW in the Top 10 FAQs despite how much more recent GoW is (and probably sold more, too), and Oblivion performed well in the PC-GotY...just saying, GoW will have its hands full. I still think it'll manage to be within 3% of Oblivion, but overall I say it's Oblivion's poll to lose. --- Rufus Shinra: like a true Guru should, he owned me. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=32191952 |

I'm leaning toward Oblivion there, but I've got a feeling that GoW could turn that into a FFXII/KH2 blowout. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

The only thing that might give Oblivion that win is PC gamers voting it by default. The Xbox 360 still isn't that widespread. A popular non-exclusive game has a big edge in a poll like that. --- Currently playing: Resident Evil 4, Twilight Princess (GC), Castlevania PoR, Yoshi's Island DS |
| HaRRicH | Posted 1/7/2007 8:03:09 PM | message detail |

For what it's worth, Halo, Halo 2, and Call of Duty 2 have all
dominated Xbox/360 polls before (although SW:KotOR has too), so GoW
definitely has a chance...but mnm brought up another good point, so,
though it's anybody's ballgame, I would say Oblivion's got the home
field. --- Rufus Shinra: like a true Guru should, he owned me. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=32191952 |

Wii is winning the console race at the moment by default. Sony are a
bunch of idiots and the 360 isn't exactly catered to a wide audience.
PS3 might come back later after it gets some games, but I doubt it
catches Wii. ~*ST*~ --- "On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everything drops to zero." Now Playing: Disgaea 2, KH:COM (Sora), FF5A, Castlevania: LoI |

The PS3 is the only system right now I no longer feel like has a chance
to finish #1 this generation. I mean, ya know...technically, yeah, it
could, but I don't see Sony dropping the price too much nor too soon,
PS3s have hardly been selling for awhile, and Halo 3 will sell lots of
360s. Not that MGS4 and FF13 won't, but those are a long time away.
Throw in that the PS3 is so difficult to program for and -- if the PS3
doesn't get its act together soon -- jumping ship will look like a
great option for many... ...it just doesn't look good, is all. --- Rufus Shinra: like a true Guru should, he owned me. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=32191952 |

expected before or after MGS4, and when does it look like they're
expected now? --- Rufus Shinra: like a true Guru should, he owned me. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=32191952 |

Yikes! If TP's GotY wasn't cemented before today, you can certainly set
it in stone now. I realize that Elebits, Monkey Ball, and Trauma Center
are "niche" titles, but they're good
niche titles with what I had expected to be dedicated fanbases. But to
take all three of those small fanbases, plus those from the
higher-selling Rayman and Red Steel, plus the one game that everyone
owns, and still not be able to crack 20%? Yeah, can't see FF12 (or anything else) competing with that.
