Maybe when one accesses it, the one that writes it can't access it so it writes it somewhere undefined therefore resetting it? :l

The counter is a file. There is a function that reads the number in this file to display it on the page, and a function that reads the number in the file, increments it by one and puts it back in the file. What you see on the page is just the contents of that file. Basically something keeps going wrong in the function that writes to the file, most likely when two processes on the server try to access the file at the same time or something of the like, and it writes 0 or an empty string into it instead of the number of hits.



Funnily enough, as it is right now it is supposed to be taking special measures to prevent anything funny happening when two processes try to access it at the same time, but there must be something wrong with the handling of it. Or at least that's my best guess at what's going on.

Hey, Butterfree, so the file writes the number to the counter each time it goes up?

Aaand I made yet another fix to the Ultimate Type Tool, this time from something I realized while lying in bed.

No, it's not getting too high. If that were the case, it would consistently reset when it hit a particular number (which would be a power of two, not just any odd number above a couple of million), as opposed to randomly resetting every now and then. Odds are the code that grabs the hit counter file, reads the number, increments it and writes it back into the file is buggy somehow, but I cannot for the life of me figure out just what is wrong with it.

Maybe it's getting too high. maybe each million you get you can add a mark of some sort and start at 0: so now it would be(im using a random mark) approx… ©©© 800,000

…and now the hit counter reset itself again, only this time to an empty file instead of zero. I really, really don't get it.

The first game I played was Ruby. But when I got Crystal, I liked it much better.

I'm actually already more or less completely rewriting the custom type system again, heh. At least I'm pretty sure once I get this done it will be pretty foolproof.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I actuall found another problem.



Say I create the type Ji and the type Ku. Now I want to edit Ji, so I click on its name and change on one of its weakness to a resistance. (it doesn't matter what you change, as long as you change something). Say I don't want Ji anymore, so I delete it. I get this error:



"Microsoft JScript runtime error '800a138f'



'wruar.1' is null or not an object



/newtypetool.asp, line 184"



I think people would run into this error more.

The first Pokémon game I've ever played is Yellow Version. I remember when I was little, I simply loved how Pikachu followed me around everywhere… XD

I agree, Crystal is the best of the three. I like it because Suicune dosen't roam like the others, and most of the time I'm too lazy to go after 'em.



Gosh, its been a long time since I last came here…

Emerald Espeon

I only have Crystal, and it was one of the first Pokémon games/video games in general that I ever played, so of course it's my favourite :P



Smeargle for the spammifier.

I have Crystal version sitting right here. and no where to play it. I have a DS and GBAM T^T

I've always liked Silver, too, but Crystal's still the better of the three in my opinion.



Yay! Houndoom! :D
