So you do a better site for your own MOD?


*makes mental note not to hire Free Terran for website*

EDIT: This site isn't half bad...


So tun Sie einen besseren Aufstellungsort für Ihren eigenen Umb.? * Marken Geistesanmerkung, zum von von freiem Terran für website nicht anzustellen * REDIGIEREN Sie: Dieser Aufstellungsort ist nicht beinahe schlecht...

I noticed that you haven't mentioned when the campaign is set - I remember you once said i was set several hundered years after Capella. Hopefully, you've scaled it back to no more than a few decades so that the GTVA is still recognisable as the alliance we knew in FS2.

Shame about the giveway in the Ascart description - telling us that their nemesis enemy is/was the creators of the Shivans is a bit of spoiler. Also, you seem to be using both Ascart and Asgard - you need to decide which one you want. And to be honest, you really have stolen SG-1's plot with the Ascart and their deadly foe, haven't you?

Have a bit of a think about the points I've made here, and hopefully they will help you to come up with ways to improve your project. You do have a fair basic outline to start from... with work, this could be a campaign worth playing :nod:

And lastly, see what a difference it makes to have a native english speaker write (or at least translate) your text? Try and keep this practice up :yes:

Oh..so Lord Lukav has set his standards low...not you...well it isn't your fault then:yes:

What you mean will we hosted by HLP ?

BTW Free Terran. I`m glad you`ve discovered the Huge font size tag but try to use it a bit less often. Almost every time you`ve used it could have been better expressed with use of the Italics or Bold tags.

:wtf: I don't no.
Title: The DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE website released
Post by: Solatar on April 05, 2003, 11:11:04 am
Everywhere else on the internet (except vwatch) I'm known as Solatar, so I figured, why not her also?

Besides, Hades is kind of a gothic name....and I'm not gothic...I'm Catholic..

1. I wrote the story and there's far more you don't know about it that you know.
I have watched SG, but the name Asgart was Free Terrans idea..
and their enemy was the Shivans, not the creator of shivans

I never said it wasn't

Quote
From the species tech data page
In the first half of the campaign the TERRANS and the ASCART will annihilate the Shivans while in the second half they will encounter a new enemy. An enemy which will prove to be the creators of the shivan race

Explain, if you please?
Title: The DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE website released
Post by: Solatar on April 05, 2003, 11:41:13 am
At least change the name.. Asgart/ascart/ are all really close to Asgard..
Title: The DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE website released
Post by: TrashMan on April 05, 2003, 11:52:35 am
It seems I and Free Terran had a misunderstanding regarding the story.......
:doubt:
Back to the drawing bord (or in this case, ICQ)
Title: The DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE website released

O.k. - that was a remaint from his old page....

Title: The DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE website released
Post by: FreeTerran on April 05, 2003, 11:56:43 am
OK i have it removed.

Please more thought over the website.

Hey that looks pretty good.  Better than previously.  Better attention to colors and contrast.  Well done.

:lol: Ha ha all people like the site. :lol:
I think we get soon hosted at the HLP.

Post by: Odyssey on April 05, 2003, 12:53:54 pm
I don't like it. I've seen way too many star backgrounds in my life... And it desperately needs a colour scheme. Randomness of colours is an extremely hard thing to make look good on a website, and this example doesn't look good. Sorry.
And, as with all your websites (which all use the same template), it does not work at anything under 1024x768. Oh, and a little more cellpadding on the table wouldn't go amiss.

Post by: KillaVirus on April 05, 2003, 12:55:00 pm
er... what do you say against the ascart? this name was often used for some specias in games..... i had more than 2 st armada mods were the asgart were a race
the name just sounds cool i think ....


and well .... i hope you like the page would be great to her some more opinions about the design...


hmm nobody can make a site wich does look good in everyones eyes the star background is better than just one color... the only thing what could be better is that there are no frames.... i guess the menue as a single frame would look better
Title: The DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE website released
Post by: Odyssey on April 05, 2003, 02:20:29 pm
There are no frames, anyway, those are tables. I have nothing against that, just the execution could be better.
And as for the star background, actually a single colour (if carefully chosen so as to be pleasant to the eye, like an imperfect shade of blue (i.e. blue with some red and green) could be a lot nicer, and wouldn't look so amateurish.

OK i have give the "by GREG MARTIN"
Title: The DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE website released
Post by: Knight Templar on April 05, 2003, 03:21:44 pm
well unless you want people to think Greg Martin is making an Engrish FS Mod, you might want to put "render by greg martin" [in a different font] and www.artofgregmartin.com to pimp for him (seeing as how you tried to claim his work and all, its the least you can do.)

Or you can leave it. It's perfectly amusing as is.
Title: The DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE website released

OK i have in the buttom of the render write "RENDER by GREG MARTIN".

Yes there are screenshots you must go under a subdirectory of the left site are the buttons when you have klick on screenshots button then came new buttons of the left site under the screenshot button.

At the time are screenshots from the new ships and one of the new interface.

Post by: Stunaep on April 06, 2003, 12:12:03 pm
The ships on your ships page seem awfully familiar. You asked the authors for permission, right=?
Title: The DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE website released
Post by: FreeTerran on April 06, 2003, 12:14:07 pm
The authors of the ships are TrashMan and he is my co leader of the mod.

Post by: TrashMan on April 06, 2003, 01:23:49 pm
Yeap, they're mine. All of them will be in the campaign (polished up before, naturally), and I'm working on several others as we speak!:D

EDIT: Several? Better make that a whole bunch!:D

Seriously though, good site. Judging from what I see here, I might just use Geocities for a homepage for Terror in the Tide.

PLEASE use them responsibly. You've abused the smilies and size tags so far... if you go colouring your messages like a rainbow, people will come looking for you :nod::yes:
Title: The DAWN OF THE APOCALYPSE website released
Post by: KillaVirus on April 11, 2003, 02:34:04 pm
er...well ok he used those tags a bit often but .......is that a reason to laugh about him?
i guess he just wanted to make his posts different ....

and....as he uses those tags we all do some stuff with our messages you just not see it all the time.....
look at me i cant write a message without those ...... or those damn smileys like him ------>^^  or him O_O
