Oh, it probably also needs a $results = []; before the preg_match too.
(I just updated the post, but not sure if you read it before or after that)

Stupid language. You apparently don't need to define the $results before using it, assuming the examples are correct.

Anyway, if you haven't already done it, here's a modified version of the original code segment I posted:

	else if ( strpos($thing,"logged in") )
	{
		$time = "[" . substr($thing, 11, 5) . "]";
		preg_match( '/(?<=\[INFO\] )\S+/' , $thing , $results );
		$person = $results[0];
		$chats[] = $time.' <i>Joined:</i> <b>'.htmlspecialchars($person).'</b>';
	}
	else if ( strpos($thing,"lost connection") )
	{
		$time = "[" . substr($thing, 11, 5) . "]";
		preg_match( '/(?<=\[INFO\] )\S+/' , $thing , $results );
		$person = $results[0];
		$reason = trim(substr(strrchr($thing, '.'), 1));
		$chats[] = $time.' <i>Disconnected:</i> <b>'.htmlspecialchars($person).'</b> ('.$reason.')';
	}

I also added a trim() call around the $reason value, to remove the space that appeared.

Brilliant. That's all now up. I might add an auto refresh thing later too. I'd already done that last night but it fucked up.

Unreal

Which means notch has between 30 and 45 million euros. Lucky bastard!

For a game in Beta.

I wonder how much he was expecting/hoping to get, if he'd thought about that.

I won a tenner on a scratch card yesterday. Doesn't really compare :(

Yeah I saw a quote the other day from him along the lines of "I don't think about the price of groceries any more"

In fairness, I doubt the post-beta audience will be all that large, there can't be that many people left waiting can there? Good heavens, if there are he'll be able to buy islands and things. Well, he probably already can, but more and bigger ones.

I dunno, the number of people on earth is above my math skill. I just wish it was/had more physics or something involved so I could invent my own things to use instead of having to wait for them to introduce them.

Auto-refresh is up and running. It'll refresh the chat every 20 seconds.

 

Next on my to-do list (when I can be bothered) are:
List of currently Online Users.
Ability to chat from the chat page.

Hmm, I'll stick it in my dropbox.

Bit of a problem on the web map...

81.155.247.206: test
Error: You may only chat once every 25 seconds.

I don't think you need to build /all/ of it. There are going to be a lot of dull buildings between the interesting ones. Emphasise the cool bits and drop the bits which don't add anything to the y'know.

:$ I obviously changed the wrong setting

The cafeterias and restaurants can probably be left out, aye. And maybe dividing all the numbers by two.

Down to 2 secs now. NO SPAMING etc etc.

 

Though I can't yet find the setting to increase the length of time the messages show for. I've tried a couple of settings but it's still about 15 seconds per message.

The mini-site chat thing is now working fairly well and there's an online players list as well. Both refresh every 20 seconds.

Even if I divide the size by two it's still longer than my wall :'D (and a 25m wide moat around the outside will be... an interesting challenge)
