Ardhon Rethunk!!!

You actually have such a class? Serious? Lucky... I'm in a rural school. I'd have to go to a nearby city in order to find a school big enough to offer such a class.

I'm actually pretty good at HTML. I can do many things, as long as I work in code. A year or two ago I was still using visual editors and now I'd laugh at that. In HTML I can do Marquees, embed objects (ie, swf, wmv, flv, etc;), use <DIV> tags properly, as well as I'm actually kinda good at making things very compatible when working in code. (Except that occasionally I love using some of those nice JS's that only work in IE)

I know CSS, and use that often when I have a lot of pages, since it saves me time. I usually use ID tags

Code: [Select]

CSS
#txt1 {
 font-size: 14pt;
 font-family: Times New Roman, Serif;
 color: black;
}
A:link, A:visited, A:active {
 text-decoration: underline overline;
 font-size: 13.5pt;
}


Code: [Select]

HTML
<p id=txt1>Text here</p>
<a href=www.glest.org>Click here</a>
That's an example. I like to use IDs because it saves huge time. The link part? That just makes cool links. If you didn't want the links to be underlined, you could give none for the text-decoration, then add bold to the font-weight and make the color something like #00f (blue).

No Offense, but please stop Off Topic.
if you want the whole forum to know about you, then post a topic in General Discussions.

[modman]

Yes in Hello Topic...Made for just this purpose.
The site is nice.  I like the map background (It's awesome) but too bad you're not done...I'd like a little more info!

[Ayrin Greenflag]

ok ok Kids you all are making a good job with glest maybe we are looking at the born of a new generation of human computer device lol

[gameboy]

thanks, if you want more info please ask, so i know what to put, i'm now working on descriptions for the elf faction, each unit, each building and each upgrade is gonna get a description on how it's related to the books and how you can use it in the game along with a strategy guide.

[Omega]

My bad, now, Modman, do you want me to add the Jaw for the FT or not?
I guess it might work well or might not.

[gameboy]

Oh man , you'll never learn, didn't anyone teach you not to post off topic, sheesh.

[Omega]

I'm kidding, ok? Take a joke!
The ardhon faction is looking good.
However, the webpage needs some work... I thought you were going to change the background image. As well as the ads are not just bad, they're horrible! After testing 110MB, I conclude it is 100% free of ads! Try that instead!

[gameboy]

I'm kidding, ok? Take a joke!

hahahahaha



i changed the background image but i didn't upload it, since i'm improving it, and also adding some content.

[Omega]

What about the hoster though? I don't mean to sound offensive, but the I had to crane up to see past the ads!
How are you doing the site? Is it a source editor such as MS VS Web Developer or a *ugh* visual editor such as webpage maker or what ever other visual editors are out there?

[gameboy]

Okay, after much thought and reconsideration (because i already modeled them) I decided to re-design the dwarven buildings.

[horusofoz]

Can you please specify what website you mean in your original post. Sorry if this is something dummy obvious just I can't understand if you mean the Glest website/forum or an Ardhon faction specific one.

[gameboy]

its actually a tech tree and its called Endor, Ardhon is just the title of the series as i plan to release a lot of diferent tech trees.
and by website i meant the specific website for Endor Revealed, here it is http://http://www.endor.0catch.com

[horusofoz]

Just so you know your website has been blacklisted by the Web Of Trust (WOT) Firefox extension. This is because of your host (0catch.com) as this happened to a site a friend of mine was hosting on comphost.info.

For more info check - http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/endor.0catch.com

[gameboy]

what!!!!!!!
whatever, i'm gonna change my hoster soon.
thanks

[horusofoz]

K had a look at the site and the basic layout seems sound. My only real qualm is the multiple same page pop ups for every link on your site. Gives more reason to change host.

Also with regards to your mod I have to ask how easy will it be for it to be incorporated into the main game in a future version? Eg as a campaign (Hopefully a long one ) or where the new factions and resources became apart of the main game?

[gameboy]

i might make a campaign or least ask someone to, i want to make at least three, they are:
The Battle for the Palantir, you play as the Men as they try to capture and reclaim the lost realm of Arnor and the palantirs.
The Silmarilon, you play as the Noldor Elves, a faction designed for the campaign, as they travel to middle earth to reclaim they're beloved silmarilis.
The War of the Ring, i want to split this into two story lines maybe two different campaigns altogether, you can play as the good faction as they try to defend middle-earth and all its domains, or as the evil faction as they try to conquer it.

[horusofoz]

Sounds sweet. Look forward to it. Gives me an idea. Maybe someone could program an add on-extension manager similar to what they use it Battle For Wesnoth. This way it would be a lot easier to install new campaigns.

[Omega]

By campaign, you mean lau scripting, right? Need a hand?

Web Of Trust (WOT) Firefox extension.

Thanks for pointing out this website. Gee, glest.org is rated pretty good. Better than gamefaqs.com!

[mictes]

Sorry for offtopic, but you, omega, allway writes "Lau", but it is named "Lua".
This suddenly get multipled to a great emotial explosion in my head when i read this again and again  

[horusofoz]

Not sure. Don't even know what lau/lua scripting is  :cry:

Im really not a dev of any grade just someone who enjoys games and apps enough to take the time to make suggestions for improvements (Best thing about OSS is suggestions are actually welcome  :wink: <  though can think of further improvements for it like categorization addons so campaigns, scenarios, maps, units, etc are seperated into sections for user browsing rather than one single list that can be confusing. just an idea : )

[Omega]

Omega, allway writes "Lau", but it is named "Lua".

Ok, ok, I'm sorry. My spelling is off. My bad. Doesn't make too big of a difference though since you can still tell what I'm saying.

EDIT//I now know why i kept misspelling it! In Notepad ++, in the language menu, it is spelled as Lua. Sorry for the errors and now lets get back on topic.

I think campaigns are a feature missing from Glest and would be sweet if they had some video to complement story though I think thats probably very hard to make.

Actually it wouldn't be too hard if Martino wanted to do it. I admit, I'd love to see such a thing, with support for avi and mpeg videos. I'd make even better scenario then!

[horusofoz]

An idea I had that may make setting a campaign story a little easier for now until full scale video support could be added is the use of still images that on-screen with background music and text types  up on screen telling the story. And if a character script is required for the story then you could just have a character portrait appear over the top of the background image and the text of their speech appear beside it. And for other characters talking have them same thing happen for them at the bottom of screen.

This has been used for 100's of games in the past so can look at them for an idea of how they may have implemented it. Also players will be familiar with the layout so will make following the story easier.

cool gameboy!

Two words: Final Fantasy.

Now lets get back on topic. Hows the techtree going gameboy? Haven't heard much of it recently...
