Title: External sites bar.
Post by: shiv on December 27, 2008, 11:52:50 am
Well, this bar needs updating and I see no one cares. Is anyone going to fix it?

:wtf:

Why, do you want www.freespace.pl on there? ;)

www.frespace.pl, updates of new SG and GW sites too :D

That's a little suggestion about www.game-warden.com/earthdefence and www.sectorgame.com/ASW

Earth Defense is missing in the list of GW hosted projects. :)

Post by: shiv on December 28, 2008, 10:02:29 am
So is there any chance of updating?

Does this silence mean "no"?

Hosted needs updating as well. Some of those mods have been updated by better versions, and some links don't work at all.

Yep :) I think our arguments are enough to say why you should update :)

This silence means, "No one's looked at the thread between your last post and this one." :p

Diaspora needs to be added onto the external sites bar too...

So my dear admins, update please :D

Post by: karajorma on January 03, 2009, 03:35:06 pm
I'll take a look if no one else wants to but frankly I'd rather spend my time fixing bugs than figuring out what is missing so someone needs to get me a list (with working links) for all the stuff that isn't on there.

Why don't we use this thread for everyone to post their updated links that belong there (1 post per person) and in about a week we compile them into one message for you or someone else to update it from.

External sites ---> Game Warden ---> Earth Defense (www.game-warden.com/earthdefence)
Title: Re: External sites bar.
Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on January 03, 2009, 06:47:28 pm
OK that one's easy to figure out but I know all the site links aren't going to be so simple.  How about: 

Name as it is to appear, Hosted (yes/no), and then the link. If it's external you can add the site it's on if it's not obvious.     


Tested all the current sites. List of problems:

Hosted projects: 

Broken links
Casualties of War
Unsung Heros

Should Star Wars Conversion be renamed to Fate of the Galaxy on the list?


External sites:

Down:
Game-Warden->Origins (forbidden access)
Game-Warden->Rentless (leads to kappawing with no content)
Game-Warden->Freespace Close quarters
Hades Combine
Imperial Alliance (timeout will recheck)


Game-Warden->Divided Terrans is now Gundam Seed:  Wheels of Destiny
Sectorgame->Lost souls is just a directory listing for aldo?


Needs Added:

Diaspora, ???? ,  http://diaspora-game.com/
FreeSpace PL, no, http://www.freespace.pl/
Game-Warden->Earth Defense, no, http://www.game-warden.com/earthdefence
SectorGame->Ancient-Shivan War , no, http://sectorgame.com/ASW/

SectorGame -> Ancient-Shivan War

Post by: Fury on January 04, 2009, 03:00:56 am
One question though, why do we need to have direct links to whatever projects are hosted elsewhere? Isn't it enough to link to those hosts, such as Gamewarden, Sectorgame, etc?
Title: Re: External sites bar.
Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on January 04, 2009, 01:31:43 pm
One reason I can think of is they don't seem to have links to their own hosted sites.  At least I couldn't find them. 

@FreeSpaceFreak I need a link.

It's the beginning of a new semester and everybody is overloaded with projects.  You'll just have to wait until one of us has free time.

Thanks!
