level ratings ?

Hi.

So, i played a lot of levels from http://www.knyttlevels.com/ .
It's so big.
It could really use a ratings system.

Is there anything out there like that?

I googled around for "knytt stories favorite levels"
"recommend"
"rating"
and didn't find much that I liked.

There's a couple links like
http://www.tigsource.com/?s=knytt+stories
http://www.auntiepixelante.com/?p=439

But they don't seem to be very comprehensive.

My favorite levels are on  my website here:
http://www.chiptape.com/chiptape/games.htm#Knytt%20Stories

Opinions?

There's currently a huge remake of knyttlevels.com in progress. It features ratings, reviews, and a search/sorting system.

Not sure when it'll be done, perhaps not too long from now. Look forward to it!

We're indeed working on it, and we're close to a release a first public version.

I can't say when it will be done, but when it will, we'll announce it of course.

See also: http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=4288.msg47769#msg47769 there are 2 screenshots posted by looki there too.

On the topic of the new knyttlevels.com site, there was a php class posted a while back that seemed quite interesting and is apparently used in the new site:
"KnyttMap"

...
KnyttMap: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/580370/

On my other PC, I should have a script lying around that takes a .knytt.bin file and renders the WHOLE map to a single PNG - really cool, if anyone's interested, I'll try to find and upload it (That's how I made the Machine png in my signature)
....

The link seems to be dead now though as pocoo is dead and I'd rather not go and revive that oldthread, I think this is the best place to ask if anyone has a copy of it.

Looki is still a member on the forums. I'll point him to this topic.

Thanks LPChip!

RIP pocoo

Disclaimer: The base of these classes was written years ago. I was like fourteen, bear with me if you're an advanced programmer and look at them!  

I've also put a download link to a ZIP file containing both classes in my signature.

And once again I've overestimated my abilities, the basic php I've written in the past doesn't even come anywhere close to this. I can see what you've done though and I tried running it on my local server. Managed to figure out what to call and finally ended up with a blank page with one of those icons that show that there should be an image but it can't be loaded (due to the header of"Content-type: image/png" and probably my incomplete calling of the functions resulting in a null file hence the page thinking it's an image but no data given). Anyways I was wondering if you could give an example as to how to call the rendering script as I have a fairly powerful comp. and would like to try rendering some of my favorite maps.

Anyways, star given for the amount of work this must've taken, and 14? WOW.
