ProgressBar Generator v2.0

Yep, there is a new version of my progress bar generator available at:

http://fyarball.co.cc/scripts/pbarg.php

This version obsoletes and deprecates the old one.

Features:
  • Full compatibility with old progress bar generator
  • Shorter URL
  • New bitmap engine, with many new features I have yet to expose (custom colouring, bitmap tiling and stretching, custom font colouring, etc...)
  • New and faster server, not tied to my home internet and power connections


Syntax:
Same as the old one, with the addition of the theme parameter.

http://fyarball.co.cc/scripts/pbarg.php?percent=xxx&w=yyy&theme=zzz

Where xxx is a number between 0 and 100
yyy is the width in pixels of the output image (height is fixed at 24)
zzz is the themeset:

Aqua - A clone of the Mac OS X progress bar
Vista - Vista non animated scrollbar clone

Any other value for the theme parameter, or leaving out the theme parameter, will cause the old engine to be used.

Examples:

http://fyarball.co.cc/scripts/pbarg.php?percent=40.9


http://fyarball.co.cc/scripts/pbarg.php?percent=20&w=80.1&theme=Aqua


http://fyarball.co.cc/scripts/pbarg.php?percent=90.6&w=150&theme=THISTHEMEDOESNOTEXIST


http://fyarball.co.cc/scripts/pbarg.php?percent=70.2&theme=Vista

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY PERIOD. (IF THIS SOFTWARE CAUSES THE END OF THE WORLD, IT'S NOT MY FAULT) THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS, AND I AM NOT OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE UPDATES, BUGFIXES, WHATEVER. (YOU MAY REQUEST FEATURES BUT I DON'T HAVE TO IMPLEMENT THEM)

Be nice, and don't abuse this. You can use it in your layout - to do so, use an IMG tag, (Can be HTML or BBCode) it's just a dynamic image.


EDIT: Added Vista bitmaps and theme, now demonstrating floating point numbers (they were there before)

that's cool. I'm probably gonna use one in my layout. :D

edit: I think my signature is getting a lot in it. Can you make me something where when you refresh the page, a random line from my signature comes up?
bye

problem is, not all of it is an image. D:

edit: nor do I own a website/server...
Unexpected end tag (</a>) at 197, expected </div>

Grenade: Due to bandwidth and other reasons, I can't have a script grabbing data from across the internet. But there are many free web hosting sites on the net, the best of which have no ads and a big chunk of storage. If you could find a decent web host with PHP support, I could write a random quote generator script for you, that you could host yourself, and not have to pull the data from elsewhere. If you want to use what I use, that's byethost. Google it.

Useful.

Naah, I'm just kidding.

It's not supposed to be useful. Some people spend large amounts of money for paintings that just hang on their wall taking up space. You don't pay a cent for this, and it only takes up 100x24 px of your layout or bio.

The thing is, what we're dealing with here isn't a painting, now is it? =P
Any case, nice enough, I suppose, though I predict mass over-use of it. =/
I predict mass over use of it too, unfortunately. People did that with the original.

What I find worse, though, is that people rarely position them properly. Having one in the last line of a container wider than the progress bar using left alignment doesn't look right:

MY POST SAYS TAT IMMA FIRIN' MAH LAZAH




Signature. BLAH
blah BLAH


Try to make sure that your progress bars are positioned well, or you FAIL.

The server seems to be down... It says that the domain is available.
[Credit for avatar]
Hold on a second. How is this art?!
Yeah my domain name experienced random death. It's back up now on my computer now, but the DNS is still propagating, so it may not be available all across the internet yet.

Anyways, it's not my fault, blame WWW.CO.CC if you need to blame someone. They randomly f**ked up the DNS settings on FYARBALL.CO.CC and I had to re register the damn thing.

@Boom.dk: People are showing their layouts here in the art forum, and this is pretty much FOR the layout, so...

So is HTML code. Your logic fails. I'm kicking this to programming.
My old website fyarball.kicks-ass.net is now officially and permanently down - so you have to use this new version. Be sure to update your links, so people don't see an [x] or whatever, although I see most of you already have.

@Boom - I thought of putting it here, but no one ever goes to this subforum. Oh well...
fyarball* puts a temporary link in his sig so people will find this thread at it's new location

You not thinking the thread would get enough views/replies isn't an excuse for putting it somewhere other than where it belongs. When people try to use that logic in Advanced Hacking and make a new thread to request their stupid sprite instead of putting it in the request thread, it just clutters the forum.

You're right. Abso-frickin-lutely right.

I guess up until now all that's been in this forum was stuff like browser detection scripts, and hardly anyone in the community cares about that. The content of the subforum defines the viewers, so if we put stuff here that the average user might want to use, we can bring new life into this subforum.

Thanks it really helps me! I never thought about this bar!
