Generator Question

[Yakima]

Is it possible to link to another generator rather then shoving everything onto one and confusing me?

That is, I am trying to create a generator that would create an NPC for Treval but there are more races that have there own arrays for everything (like height, hair, eyes...stuff like that) and then I was going to put in a generator to create a dragon if they have one but there I have a lot of species, too (seven, actually and that's not including the 6 Ortari types...), that each have there own arrays for stuff.

So, could I make separate generators for them all and link to those generators somehow...*tilts head in confused curiosity*

Not within the same html page, that I know of.

What I've tossed around is simply a page which has links like the "click here to get a flitter" link - leading to a randomly generated location, which then has whatever you need on it. You'd still have to make each individual gen, but then you could more easily link to them (though I think they'd have to be clickable on their own pages... not sure) with a randomizer.

On the Belka pages, I have 4 levels of those, from the egg page (prior to this), the 1st stage http://www.geocities.com/planet_twenty_ ... elka-2.htm
Leads to another randomizer, etc.

ah... okay. thanks. (of course after I posted this i found the generator I had nearly finished except for the dragon part... makes it easier now...heh! )

I'll bet that you could do it with PHP, if you're willing to get into that kind of coding. Asking Steven Savage from the Seventh Sanctum site would probably yield some awesome results. In the time that I knew him he was very friendly and willing to chat. :3

He is the source of pretty much all generator goodness

I don't want to move any of my gens onto php, knowing *exactly nothing* about how they're programmed, nor even if I could put them on my geocities sites without screwing them up (because the files are all held separately, correct? and if you upload them the wrong way, they dont' work, which is retarded...). I'm sticking with java

I know very little about PHP, myself... all I know is that it's server-side in terms of doing all of the work, so you need something fancy to get all of the code run. :( It just looks so much nicer than the javascript template that I'm currently using!

Mmm.. I'm going to think on this. I think I know how it needs to work, I just need to figure out the alterations that need to be made to the functions to make it work.

Oh man, I get the oddest inspirations sometimes....

I decided, randomly, that I was going to make a character generator in Java....not JavaScript, but in an actual non-webpage program to run on my computer (though with a few tweaks, I can imagine it could be processed into an applet for a webpage)....and spent the last two nights working on it. It's coming around, too. ^^;;; I'll have to show screenshots on it as I go....

Well....Um.....

Screenshots of my favorite achievement thus far.....the birthdate-picking mini-window in my generator project. ^^;;;;

Open up the menu of months by season....

And then pick a date....

And you get your character's Kynnese birthday. ^_~

Gotta make sure the edits and dialogs work before I implement my randomizers. ^^;;
