GA-Acer Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Ok, im made just a layout design of my site. I would like for you to see it and give me all opinions you have. AcersJKII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyJAllTheWay Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 It seems alright so far. I mean, you still got a lot of work to do. If you plan on having a turtorial, maybe you can get some input from some of the other mappers on any of the mistakes that they've made before.

Sutek Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Not bad, but of course it's a bit bare at the moment. I'd suggest getting some graphics for the navbar links on the left, or altering the font size - the plain text is a bit small, and occupies too little of the available space If you can find some way to auto-minimise that geocities advert bar (but not close...they REALLY don't like THAT) without them coming down on you like a ton of really dense bricks, then you'd be my god. Umm...Links bar - centre the heading, or maybe another graphic here, but the links can stay as the text they are. Other suggestions: For the skinning tutorials, why not ask other tutorial authors if they don't mind you linking to theirs as well? That way you have your own, and offer links to others with potentially useful hints (or other ways of explaining obscure points), more advanced guides, as well as getting people to the ones they want. Put something more useful in the Sabers section. I often see nothing more than text straight from the manual, so perhaps a description of the moves you use, how and when to execute them, and general tactics? (Yes I know there are a million of these, but it's nice to have :> ) Given the furore over JOmaps.com recently, you might want to offer only your own maps and those people would like you to host, as well as linking to mapping sites. Same with models. I don't know if this was what you planned anyway. How about a "Servers" page, which lists not only your servers and it's uptimes, but servers you think are good? (names and/or ips) I don't know if that was what you were looking for, but there you go anyway :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA-Acer Posted June 13, 2002 Author Share Posted June 13, 2002 Thanks for your 2 comments. Sutek, most of the things you suggested are very helpful. Since I have so much on my mind. Its hard for me to think of stuff like that. Im plannng on flash buttons that I will make. And the geocities pop-up. Well I know there is a script out there, just got to find it. And when im done with this site. Im going to apply to be hosted on JediKnightii.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASk Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 site design you ask? i will give you a score i think is appropriate in my opinion - Layout: 7 out of 10 - a basic 4 table design, a bit simple but comfortable to use - Choice of colors: 5 out of 10 - Well, this is personal preference mostly, but orange and black dont go good together. Light Brown and black tire the eyes less, and grey + black is good also -Content: 1 out of 10 - I couldn't really access the pages other than the title page, but judging that you left the default links in the right pane....and this reminds me of Frontpage and general lazyness. It would be the best to remove those links from the right table, really. -General Accesibility: 1 out of 10 - Geocities, can't say more. Pages do not open (404), intrusive ads Total 3-4 out of 10 Suggestions: Get a decent host (if you must have a free one, don't use a widely known one, search the net for them. Usually the less-known hosts are more stable, and since you are hosting on a free site, bandwidth isnt a thing you can complain about) Get some content, just writing that you want to do something is not enough, DO something as well....and try to post the news after you add the sections, not before. Sorry if I bashed you there, but i really try to be honest with you. Also, I would request from you to not start to post things like: "you don't know anything about making sites", etc. I do run a site with my friends, with quite a lot of content and fairly decent design. Most things there except the forums are custom-made. The forums are in making as well, but in the meanwhile we use phpBB.

GA-Acer Posted June 13, 2002 Author Share Posted June 13, 2002 Your comments are welcome, im not mad. The reason you couldn't access the other pages, is that there isnt any. I was just showing the design. I might change my colors to a blue(not sure what shade) and white or Blue and Orange. If anyone has any colors they think would be good. Tell me them in HEX (ex: #333333 and #FFFFFF) if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA-Acer Posted June 13, 2002 Author Share Posted June 13, 2002 Well, I decided to change the colors. For all the people who seen it b4, tell me if you liked the change. For you first timers, just tell me how you like them. If you know a good free hosting site, let me know. I searched for the longest time and then decided to just go with GeoCities.com.

Ethereal RaVeN Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Acer, where'd you find the script to kill the Geocities Ad? I need that very much for my clan's website. (Mainly CS, but hopefully JK2 also) you can review it if you wish: http://jumping-monkeys.cjb.net yeah its geocities... suxx0rs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA-Acer Posted June 14, 2002 Author Share Posted June 14, 2002 Ethereal RaVeN: you did the code right. GeoCities puts a little script at the end of you page. What the code I posted did, was make sure that script didnt begin correctly. Its allittle weird, but it works. JOMaps.com. Is this JediOutCastMaps.com? JOMaps.com is so site about building houses or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutek Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Thank goodness that advert window has gone. As I said they *might* get pissy about that if they notice, but hey, they have to notice first :> The colour scheme isn't too bad, but the dark colour of the panels isn't good. The default text in the centre pane is black on dark, almost invisible, and the link colours don't stand out too well either (especially the links which have been clicked on, which are darker). Other than that, keep playing with it - get some graphics up so it looks more like you intend and then come back for more suggestions from people :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA-Acer Posted June 15, 2002 Author Share Posted June 15, 2002 I was wondering, what kind of graphics should I put, as in the style of them. Links to some examples would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 Yoink... I'm going to go ahead and move this to the Swamp. It's really discussing a website that deals with the game, but we're not really discussing the game in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
