Introduction / my efforts

[Steel General]

I know next to nothing about Python, Perl or PhP but I would think you should be able to compile it into a single executable or at the very least a page and a .dll.

Saying that, my only experience is with ASP.NET so I could be way off base.

Here's a comparison of some file hosting services:

I can't personally vouch for any of them, but I've seen people using mediafire and rapidshare, both of which are free.

In case anyone misses it I have updated my map prettier script for gimp to optionally download a random cave from isomage's website as a base image.

Check my sig for the link.

A few days ago, I made an overview over all scripts we made for GIMP here.

If you are using GIMP try them out

I recently investigated the topic of random name generators, and tried to understand what made the Elite name generator "tick". And I think I've found a way. (From a blog post of mine.)

my $digraphs = "..lexegezacebisousesarmaindire.aeratenberalavetiedorquanteisrion";
my $max = length($digraphs);

sub name {
  my $length = 5 + rand(5); # 4-8
  my $name = '';
  while (length($name) < $length) {
    $name .= substr($digraphs, 2*int(rand($max/2)), 2);
  }
  $name =~ s/\.//g;
  return $name;
}

for my $n (0..100) {
  printf "%3d. %s\n", $n, name();
}

Want a different "sound" for your subsector? Here's an example I tried:

my $digraphs = "fafemalunabararerixevivoine.n.q.pazizozutatetitotu..";

More variation in name length?

  my $length = 4 + rand(7); # 4-8

Cheers

Is there an updated link for this? Sorry if it was posted somewhere in the thread.
