Personal insults - strike one.

Quit it or leave. Or be banned, if you prefer.
Maybe a bit harsh, but I've been way too forgiving on this matter.

I would like to know why PS thought this might be spam anyways. This IS FF8 related, and it was pretty much on-topic until you posted PS.

So what happens when you get in to the room? What do the people say? (I have the PC version, and so I've never found this room...)

I also have 1 strange enc with FF8:

When I was supposed to go to galbadia garden in disc 1, I levelled up so much that suddenly I met a 3 headed monster, looking like cerebus which killed me.....

until now, I still don't get it...:-?  

Title: wierd ff8 stuff
Post by: Darkness on 2002-01-21 15:24:00

maybe is was cerebrus? I think their may be other 3 headed monsters, but none of them are that difficult, and you should be able to wipe em out with a single attack from a level 100 brothers with a 175 boost.

I remember when I used an Xploder in FF8, i killed that XM Black Widow spider thing in Dollet. It was quite funny, instead of the FMV and stuff when you get back to your ship you just run along, then Quistis or Xu or someone says "Hurry up!" then you run in, the end.
But during the ending sequence

Spoiler: show

Around the time when Squall's trying to remember Rinoa you get a little clip of the XM thingy being shot and killed, but I guess you can't expect them to make another FMV just for that...

Wait...yes you should! STUPID SQUARE!  :evil:

mirex: are you goging to View->Source? cause thats the html. the spolier code is in the php files, it's something like this "http://forums.qhimm.com/includes/bbcode.php" or maybe .tpl. and i don't really know the phpBB 1.4x file structure and i'm sure it's in a different area. oh, and only qhimm and sain have access to those as far as i know. oh and don't goto to that it won't show you anything.

No - styles are declared in CSS files. PHP files can't do anything that's *not* visible to you - otherwise how on earth would your browser know how to render it! "Hmm, my psychic powers tell me the computer wanted this to be black!".

Here's how phpBB2 works.
phpBB2 uses .tpl(template) files to include it's HTML, the files are included into the generated HTML file so you end up downloading msg text + HTML(template) together everytime you view a page.

Here's how things work here on Qhimm's Forums:-

We run a very strange version of phpBB here ;)
Certain common HTML information is stored in .JS files so you don't end up downloading them everytime you decide to view them. (JS files are cached)
You won't notice the advantage of this if you view just one page. In fact, just viewing one page might make you d/l more than needed.
I use this method to improve on the current gzip compression method. Since the board  "compresses" information across many pages instead of a single one, you save download time. ;)
In an ideal situation, all HTML is stored into JS files, so you only d/l the msg data. I haven't found the time to do that yet though, only a small amount of html uses .JS files at the moment. ;)

The styles are stored in a .CSS file.

Spoiler tags, code tags, etc are stored in PHP files which in turn parse the message BEFORE it is downloaded. Therefore, what you see has already been parsed on the server.
