Sunslayer Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Okay guys, we need to resolve this. Somehow, we have to get together ONE main site where everyone can upload their mods, and everyone else can download them. I can't seem to contact SWKnights to get hosted, so we need to work this out. Let's get a little comittee together and plan out a great site that's purpose is to provide files from all modders of KOTOR. For know, we'll call this project Prject Knight. Here're our objectives: 1. Build a website 2. Get hosted a. By SwKnights.com b. Or by a site with lots of space & bandwidth available 3. Get a file database and files to fill it 4. Integrate the site into the community as the place to get and send files Will anyone else help out? You should know some HTML at least, and some other coding maybe, be a modder probably, and just have the motive to get this site done. This should be a top priority thing here, so we can get everything in one place. Volunteers please post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimaon Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I'd be glad to help, although if we could contact Maximus, Rick Blair, and co. that would help us quite a bit, heh. Shimaon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunslayer Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 Yeah, that'd be good. We'll have to keep waiting until we get a response about hosting, too.... maybe we can get theforce.net to host us? Well, let's also get a basic site design going, so just draw out rough drafts,and I'll try to make them in HTML from that. Something unique and creative is what we're looking for.

SSJ3Goku Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I can host files because I have all space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunslayer Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 How much space have you got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Kitty Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I'd be willing to help out. The main roadblock of course is a host with reasonable space and bandwidth. Not going to do us a lot of good to have the thing if we wind up with like 20 meg or something. But... assuming we find a decent host, I'm not exactly a guru, but I can manage my way around HTML pretty well.. and I've even tinkered around here and there (with eventual success) with CSS, Jscript, VBscript and some 'add on' type applets. On top of that, I'm competent with things like Homesite and FTP programs, which tends to help a lot when trying to create/edit/maintain a site from a remote locale. Anyways... if I can be of assistance as this idea takes shape, just let me know.. PMs.. email.. posts.. whateva =) -Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJ3Goku Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I got up to 4 gb on my hard drive free. So that's plenty of space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celladur Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Ok, I think I could help you out. My friend has a website TTO And he says he'll let me Put a KOTOR mods/downloads site there. I've already started on a site Called MOTOR(Modders Of The Old Republic) and I'll upload it to the sub-domain he's given me http://motor.theo-tonline.com. I've got up to 150MB ow webspace to use for it.I'd think that's plenty as most mods so far have been really small file sizes. Will that be of any use? If it is then IM me at Celladur_shadow@hotmail.com EDIT: I've now been told that if I need it I can have more webspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 If someone has space and bandwidth, it's pretty easy (and free) to set up a phpBB/MySQL and apply the Attachments Mod in order to upload/download files. It essentially becomes another forum. (see http://www.phpbb.com for info). Another simple method is just provide an FTP host and allow modders to upload. No HTML required. I don't think it's necessary at this point to require the site to be unique and creative -- just functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunslayer Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 Dude, I know Theo! Tell him hello, he knows me a as Corran. And people talking about your hard drives... we need webspace.... I have a blank 20 Gb hard drive in this computer right now, but I can't use that.... I don't think... And I'd like to make a good site, anyway. I think I can do plenty good, especially with the help of others (like Kitty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunslayer Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 UPDATE! Eets just PMed me, and we'll be getting files.starwarsknights.com! Now we move on to the web design! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 How about my site? It really wouldn't take much more than ten minutes to re-do for your purpose (maybe a bit longer if I completly remake the banner, which I've been thinking about), and I have no use for the site since we canned the other project... Oh, if the site is loading slow, that's because I havn't optimized it yet (plus some of the photo's aren't 'optimized' either)... What do you say?

T7nowhere Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Nice site. nothing much there, But nice site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimaon Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 In terms of layout, please no giant images on every page except for one header... It makes everything take forever to load, and I have Cable... As long as the site serves its purpose, cool looking images for the layout don't matter.

SSJ3Goku Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 some things on your website aren't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tito Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Like I said, it's not optimized yet, plus the server is quite slow, so the transfer rate for the site might be A LOT slower than it really would be... I'll optimize some stuff tommorow and try another webhost to give you an idea of how it is in terms of loading times... Oh, and which things weren't working? Everything on the site works perfectly for me, might be the server messing up stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunslayer Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 We should stick with files.starwarsknights.com, I think, since it's KOTOR and starwarsknights.com is the Lucasgames KOTOR site, while jediknight.net is the Jedi Knight one, and they may not approve of us using your hosting for KOTOR things. Thus, I'll get started on some layout, keeping images down, of course, but we should make a decision here: What to call the site? Here're a few ideas, add your own, too: Project Knight Ossus Archives Czerka Outpost Yavin Station The Dxun Moon The Holocron Cinnagar Palace Genoharadan Hideout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunslayer Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 http://mojo.fragism.com/knights/ Click that for a rough draft. I like the buttons, the banner could be highly improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimaon Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I can take a shot at a banner, but is it really called Ossus Archives or what? Also, try changing the buttons so the mouseover is the same size as the regular one, other wise the bar "expands" when you mouseover things.

Sunslayer Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 Alright, I'll do that. No idea what the name is, I'll make a poll soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJ3Goku Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I like it. I got some great pics for that website from my other name on knightsoftheoldrepublic.com. Darth Revan. If you need some one to modderate I can help you on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
