Flattery will get you everywhere

http://forum.phoenyx.net/map/area/72

For those not following along in Stakeholders: this is a very-much-under-development toy, and acts (to be charitable) weird sometimes. The current weirdness is that dragging things out of the library means (1) they always go to the upper left, and (2) they don't actually appear until you reload the page.

Also, you can't edit the names of the counters yet, so if you decide to actually use the thingy before I get to that, I can do that manually.

And if you find other people rearranging your stuff, I can accelerate the implementation of owner-restricted pieces.

Karen, this is way, *way*, cool! Thank you so much for implementing this. Greg and I moved some icons around and they updated on each others screen. I don't seem to be able to drag icons from the library onto the map yet though...not implemented yet?

Actually, Karen, what Eris means is that when we used the dungeon map, nothing showed up on the dungeon map. It *did* show up on the Akus Moby map, but that isn't where we were pulling it. And yes, it did go into the upper corner and didn't appear till I reloaded, but /me shrugs. Looks great!

It *did* show up on the Akus Moby map,

Oh, that's interesting. (thinks...) Yeah, I know what's causing that. Fixed. (It was pulling from the "mainloop" variable, which is actually the areas menu. "maploop" is really the main loop. Bad, bad naming. I'm recruiting JavaScript authors, if anybody out there's interested. New hires get a 10% raise over what I'm making, *and* you can telecommute and set your own hours. How can you turn it down?)

But while we're on the subject of Phoenyx utilities, I installed the new TWiki:

http://wiki.phoenyx.net/

I haven't brought over the Akus web from the old install (it was a fresh install instead of a conversion because the old TWiki was so old it didn't even have a version number, just a release date. Sometime in the Cenozoic era, literally). I can do that if you're actively using it or plan to, or I can set up a new web if you want a fresh start with the Reset and all.

Actually, it is (should be) now, but it's Having Issues with adding new icons to your current display. The workaround is that that addition forces a reload, though that won't help anybody else who's watching the same map (moral: reload once in awhile just because).

They also still go to the upper left of the screen instead of where you drop them, because they're not properly detecting the X/Y coordinates in the onDrop.

Aaaaaaand now they are. There's still the pause, because it's still reloading the WHOLE DARN THING when you drop it, but I'll get that fixed Real Soon Now.

I also put in a recycle bin, which was becoming much needed on the Akus Moby to clear up that spider infestation.

Let's see. Does the left mouse let you drop a spider. How about the right button. Hmmm what about center button. Will the left and right together work. Maybe I need to reload. Lets reload again just to make sure ....

Infestation.

OOPS

PS And today, I had the real exterminator out to the house. Now I know why.

Yes, but only if you've picked up a spider from the library.
