Expansion Pack Civs (Part 4): A never-ending story?

[mactbone]

Since you're using Excel now, can you post that file as an attachment? I'd like to see what I can do with it.

He has it uploaded on another page linked to one of his first posts.

Locutus,
What I was saying is that if the ranking became over 20000 chars you would have expansion abilities within the thread
Oh, and I thought of, now then you use Excel, why not have bars for each civ as well. (I've made some code for it in your file. If you want it please inform me.)

This is a sample. (current top 16) Edit: Top16 Ranking changed to Locutus' 213 votes update

#&nbsp	Civilizations                                   &nbsp		Points  &nbsp	Votes  &nbsp	%
1.	Spanish		2548	149	7,8%
2.	Mongols		2372	139	7,3%
3.	Arab		2289	140	7,0%
4.	Inca		2153	141	6,6%
5.	Vikings		1928	122	5,9%
6.	Turks/Ottomans		1854	123	5,7%
7.	Phoenicians/Carthaginians		1319	90	4,1%
8.	Maya		1209	89	3,7%
9.	Celts		1090	76	3,3%
10.	Portuguese		958	65	2,9%
11.	Hebrew/Israelis		936	68	2,9%
12.	Dutch		904	69	2,8%
13.	Ethiopians/Aksumites		816	53	2,5%
14.	Poles		813	51	2,5%
15.	Koreans		656	40	2,0%
16.	Byzantines		585	39	1,8%

I just made some calculations, and the whole list (Not including headers would be too big)
So the idea won't work unless Some code can be stripped (I.E. not using the end of the bars)
Or more then one post is used to keep the ranking.

Gramphos: why not have bars for each civ as well

very cool feature, like the polls, but for the top 10 or 16 at most since this takes a huge space cost. Keep up the good work

Maybe should work. I'll count on it and inform back.
Locutus must still accept my offer.

[Gramphos]

Current Ranking with TOP-16 bared gives a length of 20151 bytes if all tabs and linebrakes are removed (Not including header.) (Too small)

With top 10: 19131 byte

FULL list: 33110 byte

(MAX POST SIZE: 20000 byte)
top 10 would work.


Edit: I've tested to remove the width and height attribute from the sides:
FULL list: 27830

16: 19447
10: 18691

MacTBone,
It's too large for an attachment and Markos doesn't allow *.xls files to be attached. That's why I put it on my website (second posts, near the bottom, under the header Ranking).

Gramphos,
Okay, I get it now, as an emergency situation that would be possible, yes...

Well, I very much like the idea of the bars but I'm afraid that it takes up too much space. I currently still have something like 2000 characters available in the first post and I'll need those for extra civs that people might introduce in the future (typically a new civ is introduced once every 2-3 votes and can easily take up 150+ characters). It would only be a useful feature for the top 16 or so (the rest of the civs are way too close together, all bars would all be roughly equally long - or short rather) and it would require me to break up the ranking and spread it over 2 posts, something which I prefer not to do if I don't have to. But if enough people would really like this and noone objects to it, I might consider it.

(OT comment)

So, in Dutch decimals are separated by commas just like in Spanish, French and German? Why have we allowed ourselves to be dominated by such a barbarian language that uses . instead of the more universally accepted , !!!


(Sorry, I could not help it )

I've asked Mark in the Community to add two BB-codes that would make it mush smaller. And if you removed all tabs before you posted it it would be a little smaller too.
(And the current page I use is it easy to change the number of posts that have bars. Do you want it? Email me (so that I can get your e-mail address.))

Awesome work!

I'm really happy with the top 16 except for #16 itself - Byzantines

Go Mali!

[Jer8m8]

Locutus-this could be hard, but could you try to figure out who has votes left and how many?

[Locutus]

Yeah, Jay Bee, I think just about the whole world except for the English speaking countries use the ','-notation. We really ought to start a revolution over this, the '.'-notation is sheer heresy!

Gramphos,
Email is on it's way. If Markos adds those vBB tags and it saves enough space, I will certainly add those bars...

Jer8m8,
You can easily figure that out by downloading the Excel sheet but I wouldn't mind posting a list next time I update either.

File is on its way.
If Markos want those cool bars he better add that code.
