graphics

hi Kent,

can we specify that graphics remotely ? like bacground seat and avatar? so we can have the avatar uploaded by users instead of selecting those given avatars?

thanks..

You can use the remote admin interface and/or API functions to set those but the actual graphic files have to be stored on the server's local file system. You'll have to design your own avatar upload system, however. Most likely you'll want some kind of human approval process to make sure they are the proper size, format, and content. Avatar images need to be 48x48 with transparent backgrounds so that they fit over the round seats.

hi,
sorry what i meant was, setting the avatar on the remote server .. cuz i have a forum about 350k members and they have their own avatar and would like to set that by themself so when they change the avtar on the forum it will change on the poker ... as well as background and the seat .. but the bacground and seat can only set by admin ofcourse ..

instead of c:\avatar\useravat.gif we set http://vn2.com/avatars/useravatar.gif

same as the background and set ..

thanks

You'll need to write an external program that downloads those images to the server's local drive. Then use the API functions to set them into the game. The flash client normally cannot access servers other than the one from which it was downloaded from.

Are you posting your /admin link on a public web site?

Do any of the common Windows fonts (Arial, Tohoma, Verdana, Times New Roman, etc) support Vietnamese characters? I need to avoid compiling a font directly into the flash client because it increases the file size too much. Can you give me a link to a sample web site that will properly show Vietnamese characters in my browser (IE, FireFox, or Chrome)? You might need to post a sample screen shot so I'll know if my browser rendered it correctly.

I can copy and paste characters from that page into here and it looks fine in the Preview. But you're right, the submit doesn't work. Must be a problem with how phpbb stores data in the database. However, I have no problem copying and pasting into Poker Mavens chat. So it can't be a font issue. Why would direct keyboard entry not work? See attached pic.
