TIPS - Final Release

::Quick:: · #1 (**permalink**) 05-12-2008, 06:13 PM

I've abandoned TTC including all my projects, this includes The Battle for Ragon and of course TIPS.

Although I am planning on making one final release in a few days which should take care of the majority of problems like false invasions, so I would like your ideas. Does anyone have any comments on displaying old reports in a log format? (Even though this is completely against the purpose of TIPS)

In the next release I'll release a flag system, if 3 different people flag a user then they'll be automatically banned from TIPS.

Noobs will then ban good reporters finding 2 others noob friends.
I think you should imagine something better (ex:look if the user really reported false invasions) and don't say how it works.

Tell me if you need some help.

I'm trying to keep TIPS automated so I doubt I'll be on TTC for much longer. Having me manually check flagged invasions/reports will simply create a bigger problem. I'll probably reduce it to a 1 minute to prevent IP resets, flag counts will be reset once every hour so noobs don't mass flag invasions so people with static IPs won't be banned.

I'm not worried about people abusing the system since it's really setup to be automated.

Maybe you could make it where it won't take so much CPU?

And, see if you can make it work? Like, when you open it it doesn't give any errors or anything.

Works for me.
Post the errors and how I can re-produce them.

CAn you make it a full screen program?

You could make it so you can report a clan inva.
That will tell all the clan members of it

No, TIPS is supposed to be portable. Making it full screen WILL NOT happen.

What about the other part of the post:

What clan?

You mean TTC clans? If so... then no. That would be a bigger project than TIPS itself and would require me to intergrate into the TTC database, even so there is no way to determine who is in a clan just from a post.

Greetings everyone. I just downloaded TIPS and wanted to give my 2 cents.
1. On the Report Invasion tab it says to use the tool on the left to report an invasion, but isn't the tool to the right?
2. Alt-Tab doesn't have a title for the program.
3. Right-clicking the systray icon and selecting an option doesn't do anything.
4. What about white-listing or black-listing users so you only see invasions from trusted sources?

It seems like it could be an awesome program if enough trusted individuals use it. I just reported my first invasion, go me! Thanks to whoever first wrote it, and thanks to Quick for updating it.
