The Custom Member Label Club

[Micah 16]

Thank you for that, hordijk. Well, Compromise, as soon as you get your label back, PM me and I'll add it to the list. For the time being, I'll leave your old label on the list, but without its original colors.

I'm now 99.9% sure this will be done tomorrow at around 7:00pm EST. Possibly even before then! This new list will look much better because it will be in order instead of being all over the place... another words, messy!

[Duke87 1,070]

I look forward to seeing what you've done with it.

You say the NDEX Labels are missing...? that's odd, I know I had them on there.

As for alphabetization: That's actually a great Idea. I had merely been throwing labels onto the list in the order they were discovered. I will however request that all the labels stay under the categories they're under, and that you not alphabatize the categories. NDEX, BSC, and all the BATT label groups are grouped together for a reason. Generic Labels shoud remain on top, and Awards, since there's lots of additional info in there, should remain on the bottom. If you want to put people's award Icons with their lablels, go ahead (I just never did since the new trixie icons showed up a ton at once, and it was just quicekr to do it the way I had it), but I will request that if you do so, to keep a list of the unused trixie Icons at the bottom. My OCD demands completeness!

And don't worry if there are some minor little errors, I can fix those myself.

Cheese89: so, a post size limit, eh? that sucks. Care to share what it is?

[Kevin 101]

Hmm Duke, I have no idea what the post size limit actually is, but I did a little experimenting and I believe the limit is about 32,768 characters, including spaces and any coding. This should be more than enough space for most posts (over 5000 words in my test, nine pages worth of stuff in MS Word), but I think formatting with colors, fonts, etc... may count as characters.

That is exactly what I'm doing, Duke.  I was planning to leave the groups where they are, but I am going to alphabetize the sn's inside of the teams.

As for the rest of what you said, are you saying that it is ok to do the following: 'Person's custom label here' 'Trixie icon here' 'any extras here such as MOTM icon'

Also, I plan to include a BSC section & a NDEX section if the character size will allow... not to mention if you will allow me, Duke.

And one more thing for anyone out there, I typed iamrobk into the search engine, but his name is not found anywhere. Is anyone sure that that sn is spelt correctly?

89, I'm sending you the first half already if this coding will allow me to. I hope it looks good!

Edit: 89, Make sure you don't post the first half just yet! I'm going to try to post the whole thing tomorrow.

[Micah 16]

Sorry, it won't be finished tonight. I'm going out tonight.

[your_adress_here 11]

iamrobk was banned, so it might not show up. His label was Former Resident.

[Micah 16]

Yeah, I'm finished with all that. But here is the problem:

-There is a character limit
-Did you noticed that the NDEX & BSC list is missing???  That is because of the character limit!
-That means, when I get all the colors back, the icons, and everything else, I'll only get half of the list because of the character limit.
-I may just turn the list into a file, and submit it as an attachment.

So, it's official: The list is finished and is ready to be sent to Simtropolis.

The only parts I haven't finished are all the teams' section. I'm still working on those because I'm having to research their screen-names.

[Hordijk 18]

You could also post it in two sections section A section B straigt after eachother

[Duke87 1,070]

I would support the idea of instead posting it as a file, however, there are problems:

-I know for a fact that Wordpad will not show some of the colors properly, so .rtf format is ruled out. It will have to be in .doc format

-You can't just copy and paste images off the web into any of these files. You have to save them all to your hard drive and insert them as clip art. Trouble with that is that since they're on your hard drive, no one else can see them.

-this leaves the option of making it an html document. However, that now means you cannot simply copy the colored text in. You will have to view source and copy the html coding.

The trouble with this, then is that now you need a web host, something I don't have. You may be able to upload it at www.gimehost.com, though. From then on, the process for me updating it is simple: View source, copy/paste into notepad, make update, save as HTML document, reupload.

However, now seeing that all the bottom of the list has been completely cut off in old posts, there is another problem posed: some of the data down there may not be retrievable, such as the "Former Members" list, and the old labels of members down there.

I can, however, tell you that below Modd Squad was, in this order: SimMars, NDEX, BSC, BSP, Other BATT, Maxis, Awards, and Former Members.

[Micah 16]

Phew... Man, is this coding a pain or what! I'll see what I can do throughout the day. I'm hoping to get this finished today.

[Micah 16]

Well, because of this coding problem I have, all I can say is that this list will have to be hosted off-site. I guess my website will host it if that is okay. It will be a page all by itself with none of my website links or any advertisement like that... 

Well, here's the list! And don't worry, it's only a page of the list:

http://march4marc.oplink.net/Simtropolis-Custom-Labels-List.htm

Edit: SUCCESS!!! All the images work, and if they don't all appear at first, then give the icons 2 minutes to load.

[Kevin 101]

Sweet job Micah! Too bad it can't be here on the forums, hopefully the character length limit will be increased eventually.

Either way, thanks for the hard work! 

[Duke87 1,070]

Heh, looks good. Why all the line skipping, though?

Lemme see if I can help you on some things:

• sc0rp10n- label is the same color as das8929's. In fact, it's also the same person behind the account.
• iamrobk; Randall_Lind- these are banned users. Don't worry about finding them, though. Their labels are just plain black anyway.
• simwari: you can't find him because it's typoed. It's "simwario". However, his label is just plain black as well
• Smurfer2: https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/tombstone.cfm?ProfileID=24191

• The Monkey's Uncle; Sooner&RiceGrad: the colors you have for their labels are correct.

[dev 47]

Ahh...that looks nice...good job!

Err...you never had a CL...or is that your point??

[sloppet 3]

Well... in the previous list a freezed Label counted.. so...

[Micah 16]

Sloppet, your label has been added and has been there the day I uploaded this list.

Just to let people know, I haven't been able to get to the 'Custom Labels List' page since early Sunday because there is too much clipart, but I have someone working on it right now. Expect an update with all the teams included this Friday. And thanks, duke, for all those other labels.

[Micah 16]

Sloppet, did you loose your label?

Also, expect a brand new update with a few more teams included. Also, the list will look even better this weekend because I've added a few features to the list.

Edit: Can anyone give me a complete or near complete list of the NDEX team?

[Xyloxadoria 1,098]

Umm.. How do you change your member label? Is there a way or does dirk have to approve it?

Who has the power to change you member label? Is it some newfangled 5.0 thing?

[sloppet 3]

1. When your post count increases, your member labels change...

2. Dirk approves the Custom Member Labels, like for example "Alabama Llama" - dev .

3. I belive dirk has the power to change your member label...

4. No, the member labels are almost as ol as simtropolis is... ()

[MrCinatit 30]

Easiest way to get a custom label: don't ask for one, don't expect one. They are more or less presents.

[GMT 389]

maybe this question is very $%&^!, but what are CLs all about?

GMT: Custom Labels are awarded to members by the admins. They are awarded for being especially helpful, friendly or contributing something to the community. Trixie winners and members/employees of the month usually get Custom Labels too.

[sloppet 3]

YES! And you could have also freezed member labels (I had one ), but I see that they are gone now...

[Micah 16]

Well then, sorry sloppet. I'm going to have to take you off the list.

[sloppet 3]

I'm going to have to take you off the list.quote>

No, do not do that... It's a History label now... so people will know that i had one...

[JayStimson 212]

Waah Waah Waah .... I want a custom label.

Ok, I won't. I'll put your old label in brackets... 

JayStimson, just a few post above, Mrcinatit said they are presents.
