I just platinumed Motorstorm on Vita without touching the PS3 version, then booted up the PS3 version and all the trophies including the platinum just popped straight up. I'm uploading a video of it at the moment. Counts as another Platinum. Number 23 for me. edit: Here's what happens when you do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m3PSRXCoY0 Dunno why the audio is so out of synch.

Still, if you want, I can polish it out and optimize the script output, reduce the amount of generated markup etc (the page is now 730+ KB for just the markup), just drop me a line at samoskau in the gmail system. If the server is getting crowded, I can work off a copy of the php and a db dump too.

Tables work, but here are some tips how this could be handled with CSS to cut down on markup, increase script maintainability, and stop table abuse . Just throw one element in there with a background, and stretch the image:.exp { display: block; width: 100px; height: 16px; background: url('style/progress-fill.gif') repeat-x; } <div class='exp'><img src='style/progress-fill.gif' width='90' height='16' /></div> <div class='exp'><img src='style/progress-fill.gif' width='80' height='16' /></div> <div class='exp'><img src='style/progress-fill.gif' width='70' height='16' /></div> Instead of: <table width="75px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 90px; background-image:url('./style/progress-fill.gif'); background-repeat:repeat-x; height: 15px"> </td><td style="width: 10px; background-image:url('./style/progress-empty.gif'); background-repeat:repeat-x; height: 15px"></td></tr></tbody></table> <table width="75px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 80px; background-image:url('./style/progress-fill.gif'); background-repeat:repeat-x; height: 15px"> </td><td style="width: 20px; background-image:url('./style/progress-empty.gif'); background-repeat:repeat-x; height: 15px"></td></tr></tbody></table> <table width="75px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="width: 70px; background-image:url('./style/progress-fill.gif'); background-repeat:repeat-x; height: 15px"> </td><td style="width: 30px; background-image:url('./style/progress-empty.gif'); background-repeat:repeat-x; height: 15px"></td></tr></tbody></table> --- Something for the trophy counts, you can specify multiple classes.

Can I just give you access to the server and you do whatever you want? You seem to actually know what you're doing. My job is PHP, and I just know enough markup to actually show results on screen rather than do nice designs. You can tell my HTML was all learned in 1999. What's your email address?

Better yet, Moskau, if you're going to do this then I'd advise that you wait a couple of days for my version of the PHP script. I'm doing a lot of modification to the actual PHP code to add a lot of functionality, but much like Mug I'm pretty poo poo at page layout and design.

Yeah, basically, my baby in this whole thing is just the actual trophy scraper and the database with all the trophy data in it. If goons want to access the data and develop stuff with it, I'm happy for that. Wanna make it into something cool and we have the domain playstationgoons.com to do whatever we want with.

Re-added the Progress percentage. Hover mouse over to see it. Also you can now "Sort" by clicking on trophy headers. edit: I'm eager to get back to the stuff I really enjoy, which is the database. I'm going to make the information more time-bound so we can see how many trophies each person is getting each week so we can have a much more active community. The top 10 are pretty much untouchables, but if we could have a clean slate each week and show "Who got the most trophies this week" and "Who got the most this month" etc ongoing, I think that would really encourage us to all waste more time playing video games. edit 2: This database is gonna end up huge.

He Mug, I can move the goon database over to the new domain/your server as well. Ps3goons runs php and mysql as well. This way we can have an active group of developers and everything combined. Lets talk further on IRC, for instance what the index page should be.

id107 posted:He Mug, Yeah baby let's do this thing. I'm always in #vita either on my work account or home account so jump in and we'll make beautiful music together. I just finished the timebound trophy database. It grabs everyone's trophies every day so we can run queries like "Trophies this week" "Platinums this week" etc. This should make for a much more engaging competition. It's only starting as of tonight, so we can't look back into the past. It should update fast enough to grab about 1500 goons a day, so we're nowhere near capacity yet. everyone remember to synch your trophies! edit: pagination is done.

After some reflection, I've decided that I need to end my participation in this project. Because of some miscommunication(maybe it was my fault; I don't know) I've basically spent several hours duplicating work that was already being done by someone else. That's a big deal for someone who can't sit in front of a computer without pain. I can't risk it happening again. Everything looks like it's coming along well without my input anyway. Sorry and good luck.

Yeah sorry about this, I think it's a bit different when you're in a situation where taking a seat and working on the code is actually causing pain for you, where I can just bang out code throughout the day between work. Get back to earning some trophies.

After fixing the last stupid bug, the weekly trophies are now tracking and will appear on the page on the left. Go synch some trophies, everyone. It can take up to 6 hours for them to appear on the site at at the current set up. Need some people to synch a few hopefully while I sleep tonight so when I get up I can see some people in the leaderboard and work on making it a nicer design.

This is really cool, thank you for sharing. It's win/win for me too because I didn't realize the PS3 Goon Database even existed. I'll submit missing games to the main goon DB, for what little bit it helps. I saw quite a few (maybe 3/4 of 'em "obscure" titles though) when I went to add my games, so I'll add them in there for completeness sake. Too bad there isn't some resource available listing all PS3 games with an API -- that would help even more with the automation. Cardboard Fox posted:I thought I was hot poo poo with my 3 platinums. You and me both! I have four platinum trophies, and I thought that was pretty drat  . None of them were work -- I had fun getting all of them -- but they definitely took some time to get.Compared to the guys with 60+ platinum trophies though my whopping four don't seem to shine as brightly.

The new layout looks really good, but functionally it is a massive step back from what there was before. It shows the top 25, and needs to be paged through 25 entries at a time. This is ... yeah that's really bad. I don't care about the top of the leaderboard, because I'm not there and never will be. I care about where I am on the leaderboard, any change and any point in looking at the board will be about the local rivalry that I have with the goons directly above and below me. As it stands, I now need to individually page through to where I am on the board. There's no way to sign in and have it show me automatically, there's no search function to go straight to my username, no numbered pages so that I can skip multiple pages, and no option to display more than 25 goons per page. Ugly as it was before, it was a case of loading up a single page and CRTL-F to jump to my position. The current version just is so lacking in basic functionality that it takes too long to actually be worth checking. When you need to reload the page at least nine times, and manually look for your own name because you don't know where you are on the list (which is the point of having a list), then something is very wrong. You guys in the top 50 won't notice it so much. Down in the 200s the layout is really hampering. Nothing that can't easily be fixed with a bit of minor tweaking though. It shouldn't take longer for me to see when I am on the list than the person in 26th place though.

You can edit the URL to modify the number of entries shown. It's the "perpage" parameter. Mug, have you uploaded the source of the site somewhere ? Not so much the scrapper, but the database schema and the PHP code for the main page. I'm curious about it and would be happy to lend a hand adding feature, if that's ok.

I'll add "Search" for user today if you're lucky. I've just got another site that I have to launch today for work so it might not get done. I liked it better when it was just one absolutely massive list but everyone complained that it took too long to load and needed pagination, which is done now. I just need to add username searching in.

Well that was a quick fix, certainly can't complain about the service here. And now I find that I'm listed with zero trophies again, along with some other goons. Seems the previous fix you did for me got unfixed somewhere. I did try and log into the PS3 goons page to fiddle with my username as you said, but it rejects every password I try and give it. I'm beginning to think it's just me. Grrr, the sites just hate me. Ah well, I should put more time into playing than into epeen measuring anyway. Cool to see the page developing nicely though, it's improving step by step.
