[Stealth]

Hey,

My website's unfortunately not completely finished yet, but I thought i'd just post this, because it can still be of use to some people, particularly those interested in Freespace 1.

As some of you know, HLP was kind enough to let me be hosted... i've been working on my site, but not everything is completed...
as i finish pages i will post them here (the ones that are useful anyway)

http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/stealth/index.html
is the main page, but it's not that good, and i was just getting a main thing... there's a ton of bugs that need to be tweaked, and a ton of things that are just 'there' and aren't working as they should

http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/stealth/downloads.html

this is the downloads page.  this is 99% completed.
I have, for every download, a download from my server (labeled 'swooh') which is available, well, all the time (for downloads) and an 'alternate' which downloads from 'fileplanet', 'descent manager', 'pxo', or 'volition'...  In the near future I will link every file to all of its mirror sites (namely the four above) or in any case, i'll link every file to all the mirrors it has.

The downloads section has mostly files from Freespace (and Freespace 2) but the 'trailers' section has trailers from Descent 1,2,3, Freespace 1,2 and Freelancer trailers (which are so AWESOME).

I'm hoping to eventually have the most useful Freespace 1 site on HLP, but that will be a few weeks (months!?) so i'm not making any promises right now.  

The next page(s) that I need to get done are the tutorials page, (this is top priority... included in this page are going to be most of the questions that are asked by newbies and veterans alike, including 'how do i get a custom pilot picture' for the newbies to 'why do i get a 'failed to connect to server on reliable socket' in multiplayer games' for the more experienced, and i'll even have some .TBL editing, and other tutorials... i'll probably also link to Thunder's rendering tutorials in there too, and any other good tuturials i can find)
and then the 'information' page, which i hope to have a page that will display all available Freespace products (if a person is 'having trouble' finding Freespace 1/2 games/expansions) of different companies, including Ebay, Amazon, Yahoo, etc... i'm hoping to get a script done that will display the various 'finds' for example in Ebay under the search for 'Descent Freespace'... you get the idea)

Right now these are the pages available:

Downloads - various downloads.

About - the site, and about me.

I will add to this list.  Please give me some ideas and/or suggestions.  I will try to update the page with the stuff i've been working on offline every other day.

If you find any dead links please let me know too!  I've done my best to prevent these, but you never know!

Thanks

Looking good!

I like the design but.....not website music!! Arrrgh!!!

All your low quality MIDI are belong to us! (not that it is a MIDI, but anyway)

Where did those trailers come from, cuz I wasn't aware there even were any?

[Blitz_Lightning]

Anyway, what program did you use to make the website? Dreamweaver? Frontpage? Golive (or whatever it's called)?

Meh, anything other than UltraEdit or HomeSite sucks.

Ah, and Flash is not the best option for long texts... Nice design, though.

[wEvil]

I wonder if any of the more musically gifted of us could do a remix of that Trailer track (with louder, more frenetic drums, bigger bass strings and more sounds over the top) ?

he used notepad.  its on the site

wEvil, it's not MIDI, it's WAV files looping.

Yeah, i thought they would be good, especially the first one, since i had hoped to have lots of other effects and sounds on the site, but since it would be impossible to make the entire website one big SWF (cause i want to display HTML and PHP pages too) i had to make frames, and it's really hard for Flash to pass variables to other SWF files in different frames.

Those trailers, where did they come from?  They're the official (and unofficial) trailers of the Descent games, i got the freelancer ones from HLP freespace downloads section, and the other trailers from their respective sites.

Blitz_Lightning, I don't use anything to make my webpages, just raw HTML in notepad... so it's pretty much trial, save, preview, fix the problems, save, preview, fix, etc. but i like it in a way... also, i have no other alternative, cause i had Front Page, but i lost it when my old computer died last year so i'm stuck with notepad and flash

Styxx, i just put in the flash in the bottom right because it's not that much text, it's only like 10 KB, but eventually i'll have a script that i can add to, and, well, you know...

wEvil, what trailer track are you talking about?  that would be pretty cool

PhReAk, you're right, i use notepad


So i guess i'll take the music off, that seems to be everyone's opinion  alrighty!

[Stealth]

by the way,

whoever made this thread 'sticky'... thank you  it wasn't necessary, but i really appreciate it

The one to the FS2 trailer (the female vocal then the colossus double-beaming a rakshasa)

[Stealth]

[RoachKoach]

dont' worry about that...

also, as i said, i don't have all teh 'required' features, since i'm still under construction

[Grey Wolf]

Checking out the FS1 trailer....

[Stealth]

enjoy the trailer


if anyone sees any download related to Freespace that's not on my downloads list please let me know!
you can private message me if you want by just using the link that says 'PM' below this post

i appreciate it... and any other suggestions

[SlipStream]

You did a really nice job with it.  If you want you can always add music to it if you want. I like the first song actually.

 

[Corsair]

HLP hosted this just...because we felt like it? Cool...
*trots off to learn web design*

[CP5670]

Looking great! I wish I could make stuff like that...

Which reminds me, I still need to change my website design.

[Blitz_Lightning]

he used notepad. its on the site

lol... gw...I should have just checked the source code. If its short, it'd be notepad. Really stupid, long, slow and clumsy'd be frontpage from MS...
