Paulguy's Post configuration

The way I usually handle monospace fonts is something like:

font-family: "bitstream vera sans mono", "dejavu sans mono", "consolas", "monaco", "lucida console", monospace;

Pretty much anything to avoid the godawful courier/new that browsers love to default to, ugh.

It'd work best with PHP+GD (passing the tag values into the URL), where you'd just draw the font into the image ... then we wouldn't have to worry about fonts and rendering

(look at my status thing, for example)

But other than that, it's nice

	I've been meaning to ask you about that, Milly. I've tried making a custom font script using gifs but couldn't get it to work. Any chance you do email me your script for the numbers font? I think I went at it the wrong way, making each letter a separate image. This would be easier for you Sanky, since you would overlay text and not combining images. I'll see if I can work it up if you need help. ____________________

I guess people missed this part.

Anyway it looks nice on my end.

	So I've been working on this for you and got a sample: and here it is with my current stats: This is using a font overlay with imagettftext php function. Unfortunately, for the letters to be semi legible I have to leave anti-aliasing on. If I turn it off (and make the font pixelated) then some of the numbers are cut off and don't look like numbers anymore. I could find a small font that would substitute Courier New and work at that size, or make an image with the numbers and just do what my stats image does and copy from an image instead of just plain text. Edit: I found a font that seems to work well enough. Its not an exact match, but I think its close enough. Edit2: Here is the source code. Save the text file and change it to a .php file. Upload it to your host. Here is the image url: http://url-here/pokemon.php?level=&level&&exp=&exp&&expn=&expnext&&expp=&exppct&&exppost=&expgain&&expidle=&expgaintime&&post=&numposts& Place it in the same folder as your stats image and this font file. ____________________

	Oh wow, that is so awesome! I actually have a font here that's ripped from the game, I'll set it to use that! Thansk again, Orlandu! EDIT: Hm, the font I have is .fon, not TrueType... EDIT2: I got a TrueType version. There's just one problem now: I'm getting a Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /data/sankysoft.com/www_data/www/pics/script.php:1) in /data/sankysoft.com/www_data/www/pics/script.php on line 1. I tried moving the header info to the top, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas? ____________________		17 21667 3076 31.4 157 207 967.527

	http://www.sankysoft.com/pics/pokemon.ttf - though I don't think that's the cause... Most probably there's some settings which makes the header get sent automatically, which I need to change. Hm. ____________________		17 22085 2658 40.8 159 208 949.421

The script still won't work after that:

I tried the following to see what's actually sent, which forbids the header change:

headers_sent(&$file, &$line) 

var_dump($file, $line)

And I got:

string(48) "/data/sankysoft.com/www_data/www/pics/script.php"

int(1)

I'll try a different server.

EDIT: I did. It's getting better! It sends the header correctly now, so it shows up as an image if you open it in a new window. But the image is broken, and if I open it in a text editor, I get:
Warning: imagettftext() [function.imagettftext]: Could not find/open font in /home/free/tym.cz/b/budanka/root/www/jul/script.php on line 16

Lines:

15	$fontf="http://budanka.tym.cz/jul/pokemon.ttf";

16	imagettftext ($dest, 6, 0, $x, $y, -$black, $fontf, $text)

And I'm entirely sure the font is there, you can try download it.

Haha, this post is so long it broke my layout!

	Instead of the full path to the font, put just ./pokemon.ttf and make sure the font is in the same folder as the php file. ____________________

	Originally posted by Orlandu Instead of the full path to the font, put just ./pokemon.ttf and make sure the font is in the same folder as the php file. Yeah, I did that but didn't edit the last post. Changed it to $fontf="./pokemon.ttf"; as per your source code, and: Still a broken image. However, if you download it and open in a text editor, it shows up as binary data, no PHP errors or such. Wonder why it doesn't display properly... EDIT: IT WORKS NOW YAY REJOICE The last problem was fixed by changing the encoding from UTF-8 to ANSI. Thanks a lot for the help, Orlandu! And now I'll change the layout.. ____________________		17 22507 2236 50.2 161 209 931.962

	I made a few modifications so it looks more aligned. Change this section to the code below: addtext($level,"120","23",$dest); addtext($exp,"40","86",$dest); addtext($expn,"40","102",$dest); addtext($expp,"49","110",$dest); addtext($exppost,"40","126",$dest); addtext($expidle,"35","134",$dest); addtext($post,"103","118",$dest); And change this variable at the top to round the exp idle so it doesn't cut off $expidle=round($_GET['expidle'],0); ____________________

	Yeah, it's fun! Now that I know how to generate that thing, I could make a lot more things. ...if there were %tags% for it, of course... I'll probably make a G/S styled version sometime. I'm keeping this one for now, though! Works! -> ____________________

	Bump for the great justice! I updated my layout to show stats. Since there aren't &tags& for them, I had to come up with my own solution. The script will get the stats from Jul every day and save them in a MySQL database, while I hand over the script the day I posted the post, using a &'date& tag which makes all this possible. The final image looks like this: If there's a problem with the MySQL database (which can happen because of my freehosting), or the date isn't valid, the script fallbacks to the earlier version: E: well this doesn't work and it did a few minutes ago! Let's see how to fix this. E2: fixed. Problem was, I had day 0-0-0 saved in the database (which it tried to get, and succeeded). This is the first recorded day! I hope it won't break sometime when I'm asleep and won't flood Jul with requests. (I also got a new minipic.) ____________________

Looking really good, Sanky! Not to mention that you had to write your own solution for those few non-existent tags, which I happen to think was a really neat idea on your part.

	How do you have it pull in your stats? I want to do this for mine also. ____________________
