PrisonNET: A website for sharing prisons

[lukegb]

HEAD OVER TO OUR NEW THREAD HERE: PRISON EXCHANGE!


Greetings!

I bring news of my new website named PrisonNET!

http://prisonnet.lukegb.com

PrisonNET allows you to upload your .prison files and share them with other users. It provides thumbnails of what the map looks like (ish - thumbnail generation is improving), as well as displaying basic information about the map itself.

If you have any feedback (suggestions for a better name and offers to do some translation are very welcome), please post it in this thread, tweet it to me (@lukegb) or email me at prisonnet@lukegb.com

Thanks (and enjoy!),
lukegb

Hi Luke,

Your website looks cool. I uploaded a large prison. It seems to be taking a while to generate the map.

Yay, a large prison. I forgot I'd only tested with small/medium ones. The image generator is, predictably, trying to allocate too much memory and crashing.

Fix coming soon

Great idea !

Don't worry about the bugs, I think we're all used to alpha software :D

I like it. Well done.

Just uploaded a large one to test your parser, as I'm having a similar issue with mine where it just explodes on large prisons. can process a small one in ~2secs but a large one is well over a minute and crashes

Image generation is disabled temporarily while I fix some issues with it. It'll catch up again when it's reenabled.

EDIT: reenabled.

Just a quick note: the in-game time field is in minutes. It's quite easy to convert to a human readable timestamp:

Code: Select all

<?php

function getRealMapTime($raw)
{
    // seconds are derived from the decimal part, so $raw - floor($raw) gives us that
    $seconds = floor(($raw - floor($raw)) * 60);
    $raw = (int)floor($raw); // need an integer for the rest of the calculations
    $minutes = $raw % 60;
    $raw -= $minutes;
    $raw /= 60;
    $hours = $raw % 24;
    $raw -= $hours;
    $raw /= 24;
    $day = floor($raw);

    return "Day {$day}, " . sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d", $hours, $minutes, $seconds);
}
?>

So, for map time = 3721.44, we get "Day 12, 02:01:26". For map time = 177024.66, we get "Day 122, 22:24:39".

Currently working on adding new features and making it more reliable, so it'll be down for the moment while jelco and I work on something.

I like the idea. Thumbnails aren't working.

More people need to know about it
