REKT Signature Generator

Automated Signatures
Not for the criminally inane.

Welcome, I have produced a script that generates and caches images for use in your signatures.
I had always planned to build a tool to allow you to create the code for these signatures, but meh.
Instead I am producing this documentation, mostly to make sure people actually use my tool correctly.
So without further adieu, here's how you make it work.

Code: Select all

http://poxy.no-ip.org/rekt.php
This is the site, and the script in particular, simply place this in an Img tag and you are set to start.
Image

Code: Select all

[img]http://poxy.no-ip.org/rekt.php[/img]

The most useful features are the Name, Tag and Group text fields. To use these, simply write out what you want in there,
and replace any spaces with '+', other special characters such as '&' might need to be replaced with their url encoded versions.
URL Encoder-Decoder

Code: Select all

ch=Character+Name
ta=Tag+Line
gr=Group+Text
To use multiple fields at once, you simply need to join them with an '&', for example:

Code: Select all

rekt.php?ch=Character+Name&ta=Tag+Line&gr=Group+Text
Image

Code: Select all

[img]http://poxy.no-ip.org/rekt.php?ch=Character+Name&ta=Tag+Line&gr=Group+Text[/img]

Additionally you can chose the color of the text, by specifying the RGB components of the color. These are specified as integer from 0 (off) to 255 (full)
If any color is not specified it will use the default of: R=0, G=255, B=60, for that color.
Color Picker

Code: Select all

r=46
g=163
b=201
Image

Code: Select all

[img]http://poxy.no-ip.org/rekt.php?ch=Character+Name&ta=Tag+Line&gr=Group+Text&r=46&g=163&b=201[/img]

Fonts
Spoiler:      SHOW
To change the default font, simply add the following field. "crackvetica" is the default value, and is what the original signatures were designed for.

Code: Select all

fnt=crackvetica
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=arial
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=black
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=crap
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=granada
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=schablonierschrift
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=quantum
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=blood
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=fears
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=godofwar
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=later
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=granada
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=wrestle
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=painty
Image

Code: Select all

fnt=gypsy
Image
Backgrounds
Spoiler:      SHOW
The background can be easily changed, simply add the 'bk' field, the default is always the background for the latest mission.
It should be noted that certain backgrounds are designed for left aligned text instead of right. Fixing this is as simply as adding the 'left' field.

Code: Select all

bk=0
left

Code: Select all

bk=0&left
Image

Code: Select all

bk=1
Image

Code: Select all

bk=2
Image

Code: Select all

bk=3
Image

Code: Select all

bk=4&left
Image

Code: Select all

bk=5
Image

Code: Select all

bk=6&left
Image

Code: Select all

bk=7
Image

Code: Select all

bk=8
Image

Code: Select all

bk=9
Image

Code: Select all

bk=10
Image

Code: Select all

bk=pony&left
Image
Insignas
Spoiler:      SHOW
Insigna's are simple images that align on the opposite side of the text, they are used to denote squad typically.

Code: Select all

isgn=0

Code: Select all

isgn=1
Image

Code: Select all

isgn=2
Image

Code: Select all

isgn=3
Image

Code: Select all

isgn=4
isgn=dino
Image

Code: Select all

isgn=5
Image

Code: Select all

isgn=6
Image

Code: Select all

isgn=7
isgn=cha0zz
Image

Code: Select all

goat
Image Of course, as a special for Aegagrus, you can also add a goat!

Specials
Spoiler:      SHOW
There is the ability to make text bigger also, for such signatures as Talvieno's at the time of writing.
Using this voids the Group Text unfortunately, but it's useful if you have a fragile ego.

Code: Select all

big
Image You can force the server to use the cached version of your image, much like saving it to Imgur, it will load faster (hopefully) for new people. It also stops the server from regenerating (or generating) the image. So create the signature without the cache flag first.

Code: Select all

cache
Image
Requests
  • More Backgrounds
    Simply create me some pretty REKT appropriate background images, 800x85 pixels in size.
  • More Insignias
    Creation of Insignia is left to you guys, 85x85 is the default size, but the width is less important here.
  • More Fonts
    Link me the font you want, and I may get around to adding it, we already have tons, so I may replace some.
  • More Birthdays
    No! Only Josh get's birthday notifications through these signatures!
  • Other Features
    Just tell me what you want, and I will see what I can do.

Shall I place the new designs here? I have a feeling that if Talvieno makes generator though, I will be overrun :P

I think they're fine in the art thread for now. And no worries, I won't be making a generator. :P

Okay, so I did something screwy on my side, and accidentally started colliding hashs, so some specific value combinations were producing incorrect values.

Resolved.

Sorry everyone, someone unplugged my server without realizing it.
The signatures are down for now, I'll likely get them back up in the next few hours, but I'm too tired to go through the effort right this moment.

EDIT:: Everything should be running again, I'll need a temporary solution for the two weeks starting from the 15th.
As I will be living out of a suitcase for these two weeks before moving to my new house were I can implement a more permanent solution.

One more Insigna has been added, at the bequest of Cha0zz.

  • Increased regeneration timer to 24 hours, instead of 6.
    Now images only regenerate once per day.
  • Added an experimental cache feature.
    For those people who would rather not have their image reload every day.
    This will ONLY pull the image from cache, which is much faster than regeneration.
    If the image does not exist in the cache then the load will fail,
    so be sure to actually try your image without the cache feature first, to ensure that it has been generated.
  • Modified load-from-disk of all cached images.
    It should be faster to load images that are cached server-side and not cached locally now.
    But I can't get accurate metrics on this unfortunately.

I think I broke "&cache".
Sorry about that guys, anyone using that will have issues for now, until I can rewrite that code. :(

The sig generator has gotten pretty sophisticated. :D

I might do a proper rebuild of it once I have moved, I can integrate imgur stuff into it, and directly upload new images to Imgur. :V

Which means I could have a design page, then once you play with all the features you can upload it to imgur, and it can generate the img tags for you. :V

But that's a stretch goal. :V

Signature generator will be offline for two weeks from tomorrow, as I am in between houses during this time.

Issue was related to the updated Cache code, I have added a work around, but I will have to properly fix this later.
