  GC proxy Mod  

You guys know of proxy websites, used mostly to bypass school/work computer security to get on other websites.

Well i played around with my own awhile back, it works fine, but the awsome part of it i just thought of is it could be used to transfer information from point A to point B.

Biggest problem people have with leaving GC to another game is all the work they put into there empires here lol. However i never did get enough into this stuff to actually transfer information over yet, idea was to copy battle results from GC into auto-battle logs for a federation board, saving a player time from copy & pasting it to there fedmates or friends.

i swear nearly everyone that plays this not-smart text base game & younger than 35 years old has web-programming skills or knownledge of what people are talking about.

How old are you again EnderWiggin? i remember when you were young lol, what was that like 4 years ago, i dont think it was 5 when we met.

EnderWiggin its not easy to implement. Anfits mod could do the same thing. You just got to add a database, or make a XML file which is the same thing, just more work.

You actually have to take the GC code itself sorta out the information you want (This is a section you want), then you sorta more down to the text you want you which might be 2 letters thats it. Then take that information transfer it into an script/engine to process the input & output it in a display or database. Databases are good for storing information for the long term, short term wise a file or just cookies might due.

Im actually currently just starting to work in AJAX, which is a more fun but harder javascript.

It should only show opposing fleets.

cool idea... how easy would it be to implement?

Rather than having it automatically posted onto the fed board it would be cool to have a link next to each battle within a fed`s `activity` pages that showed the fleets of a battle, of course this would be bad if you had a spy within the fed leaking information to others - but all that would require stephen to delve into the maze of coldfusion programming already laid down however.

Either way the proxy usage is an interesting one.
