XDOOM Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 SOS, I am working on getting a high-speed internet connection at home, and it should be good to go this weekend (the download speed is 800kbs but the upload is like 20kbs = crap) = 100 K/sec download and like 2K/sec upload Once I get this going, if you want me to, I can work with the website design updates. I am pretty !@#$%^&* familiar with the php/html, and once I get it up its not hard to maintain, and I have time for something like that. Just hook me up with FTP/webite address info and I can get things like the scores working and such (and !@#$%^&* I can even get you past records from back in the day to look up). I'm not familiar with the database stuff, but the website will probably be done in PHP (since I think that is how it is set up now already), otherwise HTML. I'm taking a database course in school this term, so i'll be able to help you out with that stuff maybe too soon!
»SOS Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Posted July 30, 2006 Ok, website is slowly forming. I've got Trained doing graphical design and am working on the code myself. Trained has some nice gfx skillz, which is good Currently, a few things are up already. Nothing much to look at - !@#$%^&*, it is not even well-formed HTML But still... something of interest, maybe. A race records table, for example. Woot, I have both ?go race records! http://deva.sszones.com Man, that records table took a few hours of my time to get correctly working. Quite a nasty database query, heh (for a newbie like me). I've never used LEFT JOINs before... SELECT t.Name AS TrackName, e.Time, e.Timestamp, e.GameId, e.Ship, p.Name AS PlayerName FROM race_tracks AS t JOIN race_games AS g ON g.TrackId = t.Id JOIN race_entries AS e ON e.GameId = g.Id JOIN players AS p ON p.Id = e.PlayerId LEFT JOIN (race_entries as e2, race_games as g2) ON (g2.TrackId = g.TrackId AND e2.GameId = g2.Id AND e.Time > e2.Time) WHERE e2.GameId IS NULL ORDER BY e.Timestamp DESC;
»SOS Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Posted July 31, 2006 Ok, I am running out of neat interactive stuff. Tell me more ideas
XDOOM Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 Ok, I am running out of neat interactive stuff. Tell me more ideas A new population graph (the one at stats.trenchwars.com i dont like) ... one that shows a monthly trend would be good. Oh, and just incase you did not recieve my email SOS ... I can't find my old website layouts. P.S. if you want to show the subspace.edome.net statistics on the webpage .. just view the source of the HTML and copy out what you need.
XDOOM Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 SOS what is up with that action map? How does it work. You may want to consider adding colours to it ... like a radar screen or infra-red satelite photo such that the more active the area, the brighter the colour.
»SOS Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Posted August 1, 2006 It shows where the action is (ie where people shoot) And active areas do show up brighter. It just does not have enough data yet - most areas have seen more or less the same amount of fighting.
XDOOM Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 Oh cool, I thought it was where people fly ... but makes more sense if its where people shoot!
»SOS Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Posted August 2, 2006 Action map algorithm improved. It now looks much cooler
XDOOM Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 Action map algorithm improved. It now looks much cooler Yes, it does look cooler Question: Does the yellow colour change or just get brighter? It might be a cool idea based on frequency to use colors where it starts off blue in areas that are barely used, which gets darker when it is used more, then green, which gets darker, then yellow, then orange, then red, then deep purple for the most frequent areas. That is basically how a colour-radar works. P.S. somebody should fire bombs in a way to put their initials in an unused area of the map, lol.
»SOS Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Posted August 3, 2006 Hmm... color-shifting might be annoyingly difficult. Oh wait, I've done it before. No, it's simple. Right now, the brightness changes. Hmm... ah, I think it'll do for now

XDOOM Posted August 12, 2006 Report Posted August 12, 2006 I have added the current and past scores to the website. What else should be added? Also, I require a website design, anybody interested?
Hakaku Posted August 12, 2006 Report Posted August 12, 2006 Last time I checked, Trained was suppose to do graphics or something for the website, but don't know if he ever got to it. And the high scores brings me to a popup that brings me to another popup with the scores :/ 1 is enough imo
»SOS Posted August 12, 2006 Author Report Posted August 12, 2006 Yes, Trained was working on something. He is quite busy atm but get in youch and see what he's got.
»T-Man Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 who is trained The person that can teach you everything!
Synister Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 I was gonna make a site for deva but things went the other way
Hakaku Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 You can still try Synister. But I'd like to see what Trained's got done before, to decide if I should attempt something.
XDOOM Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 If trained is making a website, that is excellent. I've had no discussions with trained yet, so I am not sure. ANybody is welcome to make a design attempt ... or create content FOR the website. If it turns out that nobody can design a website, I can do it ... thats something i'm good at. Well, I would still like graphics ... i'm not great at that part. -xdoom
Synister Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 I have a nice layout but if you already have someone making it nvm
XDOOM Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 I have a nice layout but if you already have someone making it nvm Send me the layout ... I'd love to see it.
Trained Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 As you all know, I am SOS's !@#$%^&*, and hes not affiliated with Dev anymore, so I wont be doing the website. Here is a preview of 2 of them I had: The first one is one you can have. I got the PSD's for both, but the second one is for a layout I made, and can be purchased for $35.
XDOOM Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 Thanks but no thanks, i'm not paying for a website I could easily do myself. The first one isn't great, I can see weapon fire in the background that did not come from this zone. The second one .. .Devastation is spelt wrong. Its DevAstation not DevIstation ...
Synister Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 I'm incharge of site now and am doing it for free, view the pinned topic for details. Locked.
