I hope the games will be as numerous as that

Just an ordinary update bump. (Updated just now)

Sorry i don't update often but the script is really heavy. Sometimes it works after 3-4 tries (returns "500 - Internal Server Eror, please contact the administrator at [email protected]")

Sexylicious. Stickied, for great justice.

Thanks Melly

That'll save some useless bumping

I made a script to download everything from this script to the proper author sub-folder so it's compatible with the Indie Asset Organizer.

I just need confirmation if Sos is willing to modify his script a bit for that.

I'm building it for Windows. It's open-source and depends mostly on "wget" so Mac/Linux users could build it too.
Thanks to wget's parameter "-c", you can continue if a download fails/gets broken, and I think it doesn't redownload once it did ok, so you can recall the script.

Regards.

I'd be delighted to, but you didn't say what do i need to change.

I sent you 2 PMs yesterday, haven't you received them?

Perhaps if you're not too busy we could work together a way to easily integrate it with the IAO, dunno.

If you can manage to get the author with the link I can make a tool to download it in the correct folders.
Instead of HTML a raw output of

AUTHOR1
LINK_A
AUTHOR1
LINK_B
AUTHOR2
LINK_C
....

If you go to the first post, I found a pattern:

In the first TD tag that is of class "windowbg" you go
TD class=windowbg -> table -> tr -> td -> b -> a -> innerText
And that's the author's name 

Code:

<td class="windowbg">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="16%" rowspan="2" style="overflow: hidden;">
<b><a href="http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?action=profile;u=3670" title="View the profile of Sos">Sos</a></b>
<div class="smalltext">

Let me know what you think!

Regards!

Ok, I did a preliminary for the utility. It depends on wget.

If you want to do it, I just need this format:

author\n
url\n
author\n
url\n

It needs a "\n" instead of <BR>, so I can load the file getting line by line as a raw text file.

Thanks and best regards!

Sorry for the misunderstanding

[Sos]

Sorry, didn't notice them. It seems a tough job to extract authors name, I will try it tho.

Check these out:

These are XML parsers. Forums output some major HTML mess (I dare you to take a peek )

[nitram_cero (2bam)]

But HTML is like XML, it will parse it, believe me, I did it a thousand times (not in PHP though)

It's not that messy, really. As I told you, if you search for the first TD with the property "class" = "windowbg", you can easily get the first post.

[Sos]

I'd rather use just preg_match to get the text between '"View the profile of' and '">', however the hard part is to get it to assign post to poster.

[nitram_cero (2bam)]

Oh but I was talking about something way more simple:
Just search for the the original poster (1st post) and all the links in the thread are assumed to be from him

I mean, it's heuristic but pretty reasonable.

[Sos]

i can't since I rely on pages, not threads (some got more of them).

Anyways, let's get all this tech mumbo-jumbo out of this thread, I'll do my best
