Relating to: http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=260779

The feature I am requesting is simply an text format for the view_available_medals command on hubs. (ie: http://www.byond.com/games/SilkGames/ NEStalgia&format=text&command=view_available_medals )

This, of course, could relate to both game hubs and player's pages. Which would bring que for change in medal displays for keys, giving the option to 'display all' medals, earned and un-earned. Just as with all other displays of medals on a player's site, you'd be able to sort these via specifying the hub.

In doing this, the text format under the 'display all' medals command would display a variable for whether the specified player has earned the medal along with the usual variables displayed.

NNAAAAHH	I knew of this before hand, but having access to just the available medals still seems something to which would be usefull, at least to me. And for the second bit? I also included the want for the view_available_medals to be available on personal pages and available in text.

A.T.H.K	Shouldn't be too hard for them to implement as they already show these's on a users medal page - http://www.byond.com/members/NNAAAAHH?tab=medals "[Any games] [Medals left to earn]"

If the medals have 'earned', they have gotten them, otherwise, they have not.

NNAAAAHH	Now THAT, I didn't know about. Thank you, shall I remove this feature request since there are ways around it all?

Sep 27 2012, 9:12 pm
Super Saiyan X	Keep the request, instead though, ask for documentation on the topic. It's a pretty unknown thing. I and a few others are trying to document such things for now, until official documentation appears.

A.T.H.K	It's good information, a moderator might move it somewhere else though :)

Sep 27 2012, 9:14 pm
NNAAAAHH	I moved it to BYOND Help and upvoted SSX's response.

Super Saiyan X	Oh, you're also able to add &hub=hub.path to specify the hub.

Higoten	Its worth noting that there is currently an open Bug report regarding the &hub=hub.path format, If you run into any issues trying to use it.

Super Saiyan X	I've created some documentation for ?format=text stuff. It's on the second page (after the horizontal line) of https://docs.google.com/document/ pub?id=1HGkCp4eQU8Jp14Srh8Isuv_liehzV_XB6IcSUbVFFiY If you know any other parameters for the format, I'll add them.
