Been working on the Wrapper field. The wrapper field is sort of a modifier that lets you change the display of the data fields (obviously, you have totaly control over the label fields, but not the data).

Here's a dumb little sample:

Outline looks pretty good eh? To use these special effects on Beta3 skins, simply add to the wrapper line (be sure not to disturb the %s). Yes, you need both *

*DS1* - Shadow1
*DS2* - Shadow2
*DC1* - Chisel1
*DC2* - Chisel2
*DO1* - Outline1
*DO2* - Outline2

You can probably combine these. These are set to have dark shadows, but I'm working on some other ones. Feedback would be nice. What features would you like?

Other wrapper features will soon include:
*CR* - Coloring Stats by Rank (Yellow, Orange, Red)
%0s - Removes decimal points
%s Woots - Adds Woots to the end of a field

I make %s dollars - You can add prefixes too (this really helps with spacing issues, does anyone need this? Probably wacky)

No, i changed my mind.

I think it will work like:

*DS1#AAAAAA*

This will allow you to specify the color of the shadow/outline/etc

You can also throw that string in to Label for the effects there.

Okay. I got it now.

Use **DC, **DS, or **DO to start.

The next number is the offset. Do you want the shadow 1 pixel away, 2 pixel away, etc.

The next 7 characters is the HTML colorcode.

So, **DS1#000000 would put a black shadow 1px under the datafield.

See attached, it shoudl be pretty easy:

Yep, i did.

Made: **CR work.

It will color field green, yellow, orange, red, based on your current weekly production average (yes, just like extreme overclocking stats does).

I modified FAH beta 3 to use this:

Set to update stats every 90m. That should make it the most up to date on the net, second to Stanford.

No, the colors don't jive completely with Extreme Overclocking stats. This be true. I can make it do so, but my averaging system is a bit more accurate (and uses about 50,000 records in the database) so instead of color matching to EOFF stats page, I use the same colors on our internal averages.

The colors are running based on 7 day averages over 2 weeks. This should make the colors more real time than taking the averages over a month. But, it makes it jive less with EOFF, and im not sure how their stats are computed.

Every 90 minutes, a sample is taken of the stats pages. Then averages are recomputed and stored in another database. Then when someone calls up a sig or a stats page, its showing the whole span of averages back up to 3 months. Thats about 1500 records stored per user at any given time. Figgure 50 users per team, figgure how many teams use this program...we're close to a million records of data stored, and growing every day.

But, ive said to much :)

You can try Beta3 if you dont midn that the sig will go down once in a while. Its not as stable as version 2 yet. but the extra features are fun.

Try:

I also finally finished coding User Active Processors, Last WU Return Date, and Overall User Rank (world). Needed to process a different page, but those fields should now be active.

Everything should be working for F@H now. I still need to integrate Seti in tho. That's a right bastard to do but...eventually. It would be nice to display combined stats

Sorry guys...theres no way I can keep these three fields active. It would mean downloading 30,000+ pages every 2 hours. I'd get blacklisted from Stanford instantly.

The parsing all works, but stanford handles stats poorly. I just cant get this data.
