[kasperl]

*hopes for more comments on site*

w00t!!! an0n just said that he would be happy to host the dbase, and he'll host the website too.he even supply's us with our own subforum.

so, DC, please contact an0n on nodewar, or on irc.sorcery.net #nodewar.

Whoa lots more posts than I expected to get when I get back from school.

Ok then, appears the database will be a once it gets implemented into the source. For now we'll have to run manually though, to test the resource balancing. As for the website, I'm personally not too much of a fan of background images. The php one looks nice, its just the two tables to the left and right of hte main text need to look like they are apart from the main text. It can get confusing once there's lots of stuff there.

So Kazan, correct me if I'm wrong, you're volunteering to help coding for a code-setup for FleetWars that will be compatible with a mySQL database?

[DragonClaw]

A little update:

Right now we have the Army of Light team willing to participate in the beta. And we have LLL, I still need 3+ people to generate two teams of 4 people, which would be ideal for now to test. So, any volunteers?

[kasperl]

ok, i might be able to play this week, no promesses though.

[DragonClaw]

OK Kazan, since an0n's service doesn't accept outside connections or persistant connections, we are using a different way of doing it. We want the game to generate and calculate resources lost for each team and the maintenence cost of each ship lost for each team. And then send what ships were lost and the 'resources lost' and 'maintenence lost' to a php or cgi file that will enter the variables into the database. Another web-side php file will be a Control Panel for fleet admins to manage their ships and build etc.

I _really_ need a programmer, as I hardly know what I'm talking about myself, for both source code AND webside. Blah, and internal forum for this would be really nice just about now. Doubt that'll happen though.

So, I need a PHP/CGI programmer, and a C programmer to get the source to run the correct processes. This is a lot of variables that need to be made.

Eh, I'm sorry but I have to withdraw my application as game manager. My new job is asking too much time to do this.

[Gloriano]

Sorry to say Dragonclaw but i got large connection proplems so i am offline 2 weeks or less because workers gonna fix it:(  but i don`t realy know when it is

[kasperl]

ok, i can't even read C, and my php skills aren't much better.i can read the code a bit, steal usefull stuff, but that's it. bottom line, i'll stick with basic stuff for the website, unless someone can talk me trough all of it, since i don't have the time to do mountains of tut's.

any more comments on the site?

ok, i just played around a bit with idea's for the site, and i've got one. i might be able to have the site look almost exactly like the FS interface, by just making an image map for an interface image. one problem. it's an awfull lot of work. i'll start with it when i'm sure it will be used.

this is what i got now, since i thought i'd expermiment anyway. the text is going to be white or grey, and the white background is going to be tiled with the real (greeny black) background.  the text i can make white by just searching among all the files, the background is a lot harder to do, so help there would be appreciated. right now i've got 3 CSS files, and 2 HTML files used, so it's quite hard to find anything.

[Spicious]

How about we leave this programming thing until later. For now we should just get it started. Having all the programming done  just isn't necessary while we test and refine the game model.

Just have the game managers manage the statistics for the beta test while the more advanced features requiring programming are implemented.

[DragonClaw]

Yeah I'm leaving programming till later, we WILL start this doing it like I planned at first. But I'm also going to be working on getting a workable script in that'll get this semi-automated. I've already set up a mySQL database with a bunch of needed tables and entries.

Tested the mission with a friend of mine and RaaTorh last night, still the one team clobbered the other, although it only had one capship left at 50%. Gotta make those deimos more expensive.

I still need more people.

Kasperl, I like the site idea, but just curious, where do you plan on putting the menu

[Gloriano]

i hope i am not too long gone when i return  we will be ready to take
us to battle

mmm, yeah, well, i thought about using the FS icons and an image map, so that you just have to click the images, or i could add another "window", but that would involve more interesting stuff. i might need some help here, because this is getting "interesting" HTML


anyhow, if you need testing, check if i'm online or something, and i might be able to join.
