Romapp, well you're ignored. Did you read my post CAREFULLY? ok good, then you can blush now.

James, yeah, something is wrong with the Code downloader v1.4. Needs fixed ASAP. PM when you or whoever is delveloper fixes it. Still hangs. Never had a problem with v1.3

[Romaap]

Ooops. sorry, i didn't.

Code Downloader has been updated to 1.5, wich should work.

[dughug]

Thanks Romapp, I'll try that out. Could be something also config'd wrong on my SD card. I'll repost after getting working, for anyone else that may have had the same issue.

I've been busy!

Fixed the character encoding that was causing Japanese to not render properly.

Other things recently changed:
*Hacker Profiles: http://geckocodes.org/index.php?hacker=James0x57
*Universal Code Recognition: http://geckocodes.org/index.php?c=NARA
*Regular code pages tell you if there are universal codes available: http://geckocodes.org/index.php?c=RMGE01
*META keywords and description now use the game's title (good for search engines)
*Once you search for something in the database, you're given a google search bar for further looking. Results open in GeckoCodes.org too.
*And hilarious, non-obtrusive ads that sometimes mention buying lizards. lol

Aaand some admin stuff to make things happier for the hackers. <3

I've been up all night and I "finished" the Online GCT Creator!

http://geckocodes.org/?gct=Rzde01

It even loads the universal codes if they're available. :)

Feedback more than welcome!

[Romaap]

Awesome, thanks James0x57! :D

You may want to clean up the code data base again and let your hackers know that they're not suppose to post any Online Codes for games.  Both The Conduit NTSC-U and Mario Kart Wii (all regions) have online codes posted for them again!

[James0x57]

All work is welcome on the database. And I've never removed codes from it...

I might even be the first one to have put codes on there that work online too! (though in my defense I had no idea at the time, the game's programmers just didn't care to protect their online game play)

Anyway, online codes are perfectly legit if you're only playing with friends. And they're quite fun too. I shouldn't limit the fair and fun options for users because of a few ruined matches. And beyond that, the people who just want to ruin a match for unsuspecting others will find the codes elsewhere anyway.

Oh, and first amendment etc etc.

Awesome!

Thanks for adding my codes on official database.

[Warlock]

Well, last I knew online codes of any type wasn't allowed at all to be posted here in the forum and/or on the data base itself.

[James0x57]

@mdmwii Oh hey man I didn't know you were on these boards too. I sent you a PM with login info over at World of Volder so you can add/manage your codes whenever you'd like. You've done very well with Mario Kart so I'm sure you've hacked more, right? ;P Please do share the rest of your work on GeckoCodes whenever you've got time to paste 'em there. ^_^


@Warlock These boards are separate from GeckoCodes.org -- they are, however, on the same server and tight like this *crosses fingers*. lol
(also, since most WiiRD Hackers have accounts here, the random affiliate banner on http://geckocodes.org shows WiiRd Forums 4 or 5 times more often than the other affiliates :))



edit: History time!
Originally I was making the database for Kodewerx (at my request); even got ftp info. But then Nuke mentioned wanting/needing a database on USBGecko.com about a week or two before I would have finished.
So I told him what I was working on and offered to put it there instead of KW (because kw didn't seem hardly interested at all anyway..).
Nuke said something to the effect of "hell yeah"; so I swapped the KW banner for USBGecko, finished up the code-user side and launched it. About 4 days later (I think?), the admin side was up and working and I was contacting the small handful of hackers around at the time (there were only about 5 to 7 of 'em!). Today there are 87 WiiRD Hackers with accounts on http://geckocodes.org and over 2000 views a day. =)

Okay, new updates to the Database!

* Small design changes on the code pages.

* Subcategories are now loaded into a drop down list so games with a lot of 'em like this:
http://geckocodes.org/index.php?c=RFSEEB
don't flood over the first code(s).

* If universal codes are available, they are now loaded onto the page and a subcategory is made for them:
http://geckocodes.org/index.php?c=REDJ41

* If universal codes are available, they are included when you download the txt file.

* The txt file is 'served' to you, click once and it prompts you to save. (like when you're ready to download the gct)

...I think that's it, for now.

I am willing to put an xml download link on the pages if enough people are interested.


ANY/ALL feedback or requests are much appreciated! (seriously, please let me know!)

[James0x57]

* Now tells you the number of codes on the page too.

* txt file downloads have windows line endings now. (mac and *nix users, please tell me if this causes any problems!!)



Feedback/requests encouraged! ;(

[James0x57]

* When editing a code in GCT Creator, the edit box pops over the rest of the page for quick access
* When editing a code in GCT Creator, the code title and note are displayed in the box (cannot edit)
* Online GCT Creator no longer labled "BETA" (there were no complaints or reports of errors.....)

Comments/requests/complaints appreciated.

Maybe a popup when no codes are selected?
