Signature update > hacking attempt? + ext. avatar linking

[AmIMeYet]

When I try to update my signature, i get:

An Error Has Occurred!
Hacking attempt...

I used 'search' by the way, but that didn't harvest anything..

Can anybody tell what's going on here?
(Or, update my signature [see bottom of post]  )

Also, when I set my avatar to "http://amimeyet.890m.com/dynamic_signature/signatures/amimeyet_av.png",  somehow the forum displays it through "http://avatars.rmrk.net/avatar_6475.png".. wouldn't that like make that 'external-image' feature totally useless? The great thing about external images is that you can update them on different forums at once
(exactly what I'm trying with my dynamic-signature-image)

So here's my signature as I want it:


Portals - in VX!
[spoiler=Do require's in VX:]

Code Select Expand

$LOAD_PATH << Dir.getwd #You only need to call this once
Kernel.require("includable.rb") #replace includable.rb with the name of the file you want to load[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Invert Dash enabling:]

#=============================================================================#
# # # ANTI DASH HACK    # # #
# # #   By AmIMeYet # # #
# # #    please credit me   # # #
#=============================================================================#
class Game_Player < Game_Character
  def dash?
return false if @move_route_forcing
return false if in_vehicle?
return true if Input.press?(Input::A) and $game_map.disable_dash?
  end
end
This snippet basically inverts the dashing.. allowing you to dash only when 'disable dashing' is checked.
This way, normal maps disable dashing, but the ones you set to disable actually allow dashing..

It should be placed where you normally place the scripts ('above main', in the materials section of the scripts window)..[/spoiler]

stop trying.

i'm not sure if we allow the code tag in the signatures, but you'll have to wait for ROAF

Code tag is allowed in signatures. I fixed your signature, by the way.

Avatars are uploaded to rmrk for a specific reason that I cannot remember. Roph could answer that question.

If you provide an external URL for your avatar image, RMRK downloads that image and then sets its local copy as your avatar (while of course checking its dimensions and so on). A few reasons why:

- All avatars are served from RMRK, nice and fast and reliable =)
- You could simply replace your external image with something else that is above the dimensions. A solution to that would be for RMRK to check the avatar every time it is displayed, but of course that would be a gigantic waste of resources to check images over and over hundreds of thousands of times a day. That very feature used to exist in the very first early builds of SMF 1.0.x, and it was an enormous slowdown problem, even for small forums.

I'm not trying to, that's the thing.

Ok, thanks for fixing it!

Ah, ok.. that sound's reasonable

Oh wait a minute.. does this mean I can't update my signature myself anymore? (say if 'portals' isn't my current script anymore)
