Talk:RoboRumble/Country Flags

Hi dear RoboRumble-runners! I'd really really like to have a flag. I wrote to countryflags on the old wiki, but nobody has answered for weeks or months. Is it possible to add flags to new requesters? Here is the direct link to save time. :P [1] --HUNRobar 19:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

It is said that Darkcanuck doesn't visit the wiki, try email him. It's darkcanuck81 (at) g mail (dot) com.

Thanks darkcanuck, I have flag at last! :) --HUNRobar 16:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Darkcanuck, a suggestion to make things easier for you (and your server!) in the future: create a folder of country flags named by two-letter country code (US, DE, GR, RU, ...) and associate each username with a particular flag, ideally on a particular (editable!) page on the wiki, like the participants page is now. Then whenever someone wants to set their nationality, they can do it on the wiki, and your server can grab a copy of the page daily or semi-daily to get everyone's country. Then, instead of having multiple copies of the same flag over and over your server can have one of each flag, saving load time and upload bandwidth. -- Synapse 02:48, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Because someone may want a special flag (see ap package, which nationality are they?). I don't know, this maybe better and need a lot more works, current way I believed is just drop an image named with the package name and all will work. And by setting ErrorDocument directive in .htaccess (server is Apache, detected by Server: HTTP response header) to blank image, the non-existence image will be served using blank flag. » Nat | Talk » 03:16, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

New users show up so infrequently that the current way (manual updates) is much easier... But if the community ever expands like wildfire, I'll look into something like this. --Darkcanuck 21:30, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Could you be as kind to give me a dutch flag? --Positive 18:59, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Uh oh, the Swedish flag flies once again... =) --Voidious 19:12, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Could you give me a Brazilian flag? Thank you! HVilela

Hi, can I have a Portuguese flag? (my bots main package is dmsr) DavidR

Would you please assign a U.S. flag to the uccc.* package name? Thanks, Christopher.Hilla 00:31, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, can I have a german flag, please? (my bots main package is fromHell) FromHell 12:07, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

this is the flag for Greece. Please add... [[1]]

Done.

Flag of Latvia (LVA): https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wPR7zJ8FAx8/U8-XlymELhI/AAAAAAAAAEI/8FjPrShB4M8/w30-h18-no/LVA_robocode.png

This was done a while ago, sorry I didn't respond.

Please, add flag of Belarus (BLR). Here it is https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29826809/bots/blr.png

Added =)

What's up with PEZ's new flag? I didn't see him request it anywhere and I don't recognize it. Did something random happen to change his flag?

Oh, it's the "anarcho-capitalist" flag? Maybe he did request it... ;) [1] (Nice job, Google search by image!)

Yes, it's the an-cap flag. Dunno if Google search told you it's also Voluntarist the flag? I'm a Voluntarist and think nations/countries are a totally bad concept. Didn't want to be representing a nation. As to the missing request, I issued a pull request to the Roborumble code repository at Github as the flags are still more or less hardcoded. (I might attempt to change that.)

Here's a cool one to try. =)

Search by image is cool. Even better with the Chrome extension for it.

I wouldn't allow "something random" to happen to PEZ's flag. ;) He's simply introduced an alternate method for making a flag change request...

Hey Skilgannon, note that PEZ wants this flag, not Sweden: [1]

Wasn't sure what code to use and you'd need to name/upload it anyway, so figured I'd just post it here.

Haha, that's the Market Anarchist flag. Ok, I'll add that in, I think we might need a special category for this and the wiki flag.

Hiya!

my package name is tjk

If a United States flag could get dropped on it, I'd be quite thankful!

I would also like a USA flag for package "sheldor". Thanks.
