Updates New Things Coming

[PoLiX]

News

Going to have a proper news section where editors can approve submissions, and post news. Will be a better system than what we have now with categories, images, etc. and still quickly accessible from the forum.

 

About Continuum

About Subspace / Continuum, Gameplay Info, Client History, etc. all under 1 section. Will give a nice section to send people to looking for information on the game.

 

Tutorials

FAQs, How-Tos, Tips and Tricks, 1 entire section for all sorts of help for new and old players.

 

Network

Zones status, IP & Port, Short review (started by flared), Screenshot(s), Current Pop - Avg Pop - High Pop - Low Pop, and link to website.

 

Links

A nicely laid out categorized page of links to everything SubSpace. Reviews, Groups, Leagues, Development, etc.

 

 

This will just be the start of what is planned to come. We will also have a new player landing site for advertising purposes, possible a new quotes system, and much more. Already had been working on some of it before the move/update, so progress is being made. Got Spacehiker helping me with SEO and getting this site ranked up. Going to need to begin advertising it soon, and getting other ss websites linking to it.

 

A lot of this will be player involved, so will need help from EVERYONE, not just staff. Though I am still in need of someone to take on the downloads section of the site.

if you need a grunt like me to do anything let me know. i dont have any programming skills and can't put a program together but if you or someone else can explain to me how to do something i'll do it

[Cheese]

i can do things with stuff if needed

 

 

also u should include population graphs on each zone page from http://stats.sshq.net/ such as this:

Bring back the arcade to keep me busy

[Camel]

Working on a subspace(.co) promo vid, but guess I should link it to the player landing site whenever its up. Still gathering (better) footage, updating, etc. I'm new with Sony Vegas Pro, but starting to get the hang of it.

 

Here a early version:

It's almost as lame as a movie trailer.. So I would say if you want to do this for a living and get hired your on the right track. Does anyone actually watch movies after seeing trailers similar to this, only the mindless masses. If I saw this trailer, would I play the game, or close the trailer. I would be embarrassed, and close the trailer. The trailer is lacking in any actual creativity. It doesn't present subspace in any new way. Use some imagination, think about subspace, what's interesting, how to present it. If all you could come with is showing footage of ships exploding, then your obviously missed the point of the game, and aren't the one to be making this trailer.

 

Religious music bad.. but I guess Polix is like the pope anyway..

The start of the music sounds like Mission Impossible, which is bad.

 

"More addictive than crack" lol? Are you selling a game, or drugs? Both?

 

Meet people from all over the world? Are we still implying we still have 1000+ players online at one time, and this is the latest multiplayer game in existence like back in 96/97? People can smell a lie, they dont believe mindless bullshit you feed them because you have flashy pictures, and cool music. You obviously need players or you wouldn't be selling the game. You are better off with the truth and saying it's a small player developed community. But I guess you guys don't believe that the truth might actually get you players.

 

FYI The most people I ever met from around the world, was Finland, Sweden, Israel, Australia, Japan, USA, Canada, UK, very rare to find anyone from anywhere else, even the countries I listed, except Finland and UK. Aussies, Japs, Israel, and Swedes, are still pretty rare.

Bring back the arcade to keep me busy

The coders have gone MIA on both the arcade projects. Actually hadn't released a new version of them in quite some time. So being IPB has upgraded, probably be another 5-6months before we see any attempts.

 

 

if you need a grunt like me to do anything let me know. i dont have any programming skills and can't put a program together but if you or someone else can explain to me how to do something i'll do it

If you're willing to work on the downloads section, no coding is needed.

I can do that, just let me know how to do it. Edited August 2, 2011 by Xog

I can probably get an arcade up sooner than 6 months. All you need to do is trust me with the access.

 

What type of coding is this? CSS? PHP? Any resources, or applications your coders used to help them?

What version of IPB is this.

Can't you just find templates, and help online for making arcades, and uploading various games to it?

And there is problem #1

[Avast]

it's your problem not mine, prejudice that is. You have no proof I can't be trusted with access, easy way to find out is give access, if I do something, there is the reason you've been waiting for to get rid of me for good. I mean there is the good reason to get rid of me. If you want a shitty one, just invent it. Expect me to be responsible? than give me some responsibility. I'm just a player, i behave like one, maybe not in the image of your ideal player, but lets not start picking and choosing, then you will be upset wherever you go in your day to day life, because you'll meet someone whose not your ideal person. As far you know. Really I could be Buddha himself, and you wouldn't know. And someone who already has access to your precious server could be a criminal in real life. Truly if you focus on yourself, you would never have time to judge how terrible and untrustworthy other people are, and focusing on yourself, would bring out good qualities in yourself, which would subdue and placate anyone troublesome just from the epicness of your character. Like tm_master so often does. Just remember I only play the game, so don't expect me to act as if everything I say would blow up subspace.. Though I do expect more from people who have powers, and many have obviously failed in the manner in which they choose to use those powers and deal with situations.

 

Anyway an arcade does hold my interest, so I wouldn't mind giving it a try to get one running.

tl;dr

in fact i read your reply first.

[Avast]

You don't have to act like it was required reading. It doesn't matter if anyone reads it, even polix. I don't post for you. In fact not reading what I write would just mean you don't learn anything. And your education has nothing to do with me. Since I'm not here to educate you, that would be a full time job. I'm only here for my own learning. Edited August 3, 2011 by Avast

That's not the way security works: you don't give someone access to something they don't need to complete the task. You can create your arcade on your own computer using something like XAMPP, demonstrate that it works to Polix, then give the code to Polix to integrate with the actual forum. You don't need access at any point along the way. That's the appropriate way to do it.

Want and need are different things. I don't want access. And I am 12 years on this game, and 25 years alive. If I wanted some type of position, power, or ability. I am sure in 12 years I could have gotten it. Just the same if I was some murderer in real life, I am sure in 25 years I would have done something bad and gotten caught by now. So don't treat me like a criminal just because I proclaim I'm a troll god and piss you off sometimes. It should be obvious I don't want anything. I myself don't need anything. Personally I don't. I just like to help sometimes.

 

And being a sysop, zone owner, or programmer/forum admin requires a lot of dedication, of course I can probably bring levels of dedication beyond your definition of the word. The only difference is I love to deal with ANYONE and some of you only like dealing with people you like. But it's too much of a burden to even a be a squad leader, let alone sysop or anything else with access/privileges. Which is why I retired after bringing my squad to DSB league 6 times. It's fun playing casually. And you have to understand I have already been offered sysop like three times, mostly in the later years when I really began to troll too. I am just not ambitious in the same way others are.

 

Sure I could make an amazing kick ass zone, and have 100 people a day on it. I can, my talents can easily do that. Especially the population part. The zone could even be shitty and I could get 100 people there. I am a thousand percent confident, not out of ignorance but because I have done it before. But before it was 1000 people. So yes I can make an amazing zone. With 100 people, have everyone like me, change subspace completely. Easily done. But I don't go around making zones based on my personal preferences. Because what I want doesn't matter. And I am more interested in being Infamous now.

 

I only need access to the forums, because I am not some pro CSS coder. When I worked with CSS on my squad forums, it was a lot of trial and error, tutorials, and copy and paste work. There was no document, and type and visualize in my head. I actually had to visualize the changes I made in the code, by publishing it and viewing the changes. So I COULD learn faster and finish quicker. If XAMPP can help me do that then I don't mind dedicating a few hours a day to getting an arcade running. If not I probably DO need access.

 

But notice in my first post I did ask "If there are an applications I can use to help me" So thanks for informing me of one.

I lol'd

[Dr Brain]

If, by your own admission, you don't want access... why did you ask for it? You don't need it, after all.

[»Xog]

Ban Avast. He's like an infestation of bedbugs.

 

Just call the damn exterminator. You want to keep getting these stupid itchy little bumps?

[Avast]

I don't want it. I already explained why I need it. But who knows. I'll take a look at XAMPP and see if I can do it there. I just want to help. I have no lingering desires for power, or positions, or accesses, or crap. 12 years on this game and I never bothered..

 

You guys worry too much

i love it when idiots have huge egos

it just makes it more funny

[Avast]

Yeah I can often tell when idiots have huge egos, especially when they go around saying they can't do something.

[PoLiX]

ignoring everything else said... and back on topic.

 

Doing some work & tweaks on the templates. "About Continuum" will be my project/test page.

 

So far got the tab working so it changes for active.

 

Can also look at/watch http://www.subspace.co/c/news/ to see things progress there.

Hey, don't know if this is the right place to post this, but could you have this site support imageshack again? I often used that to post images.
