PvXwiki talk:Build Packs/Script

uhh.. just a warning. when running this script, don't be surprised if you can't download anything. it basically DoS's both your computer and wikia's server, except i'm assuming wikia has a little more bandwidth than a home user would. ···  Danny So Cute    07:18, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Where's my botnet when i need it? DDoSing wikia sounds like mad fun.--TahiriVeila 07:25, March 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * ups. it's technically just a DoS, but you get the idea. also, it's less effective than i'd initially thought because there's quite a bit of delay between page requests. ···  Danny So Cute    08:02, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

General + Hero builds
The script is putting both the player and the hero version of a build into the general and hero packs. Preferably, it should place the player version in the general pack, and the hero version in the hero pack. General + Hero + Team builds should still go in both though, I think. -- Toraen TheJanitor 19:26, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * iirc, you said the player one is the top and the hero is second? i mean, if EVERY General/Hero build has both, we could theoretically do it. but not until summer. school = all-consuming for the next two weeks. Danny 21:43, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I was expecting you to still be busy. This is more of a note to self so I don't forget to tell you later. -- Toraen TheJanitor [[image:ToraenSig2.png|link=User:Toraen]] 21:48, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I fixed it. Not a very efficient solution, but I don't really care that much about efficiency for this. --  Toraen   talk  02:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I really ought to write threading into this, but I'm not sure it's worth it unless it's going to continue to be used come GW2. Of course, if you're interested in learning more about Python, you just need the threading module and to call threads of the spider function instead of calling it directly. Of course, you probably wouldn't be able to do shit else on the internet until it finished and it wouldn't be worth it on a slow connection anyhow (since the only real advantage is not having the entire program wait if you catch a single slow response from Curse).

 * Really does sound like so much effort for little gain. The program has always run well enough for me, and I only run it once a week while I go to get a sandwich or something anyway. This should serve for the rest of GW's lifetime. --  Toraen   talk  16:49, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
