Well, I can live with the colours & stuff... I just think it would have been nice to have a bit more space for the waypoint table so that d/l count can be displayed right on the main window. But depending on which font / font size we choose, it might still be included.

Re: Work on Wesite?
 

well i can fit it in there, but i was thinking about that... i don't wanna sound like a dick but... who cares about the download count... when i am downloading something i want to see the rating no the download count... cause if the ratings suck and it has a million downloads then taht means there are a million morons

Re: Work on Wesite?
 

guess where this last sentence will land... :P

Re: Work on Wesite?
 

You know, the reason behind was the possibility to sort waypoint files by popularity - like the maps on CSM. Of course that doesn't mean that the most popular file is the best. I mean, fy_iceworld is certainly among the most popular cs maps ever, but is it good? No.

Remember we can't choose our audience - wise people will know that 85% of the CS community is likely to be composed of morons, and that popularity rankings due to the judgement of 100,000 people, (85,000 of which are morons), can be happily ignored. But our 85,001st moron visitor might be happy about it.

Come to think of it, we could replace "sort by popularity" with "a moron's best choice".

ok good point lol

Re: Work on Wesite?
 

oh... ok at this time...i don't really wanna... but i would like only >BKA< T Wrecks and MarD to answer to this but do you guy have any suggestions other than the colors, dl counts, and other things of the sort? like should i add another bot section, should i change the layout of something, should i kill myself cause the site sucks the big one111!...etc???:(

[EDIT] And splorygon, i know you will take your own time, to tell me i suck and what ever i am doing is retarded and you have a better way but instead of helping you just decided to demise me, so your name is added to the list [/EDIT]

Heyyo,

sPlOrYgOn's not despising you dude, he's just annoyed how people treat PODbot mm like a completely different waypoint format. I tried the waypoints with E[POD]bot, and yes they do work right. :)

Yo sPlO, can't you add like, the classic camp style, and then ontop add the variables to the new camp style that PM added? then there'd be like, no problems. All you'd really need to do is checks to see if your new variables exist, and if not I'd revert to the old style. I'm sure for other PODbot mods they'd not even worry aboot the new style if the old style was put in first, and since this change is small, I'm sure it wouldn't mess up the waypoint format for any bots. :)

[EDIT]
Oops, forgot to comment on site. it's coming along in leaps and bounds dude. I'm lovin' it. But the only thing I wish that could happen is that I'd be like you said where I'd strech/shrink to fit all screensizes, cause most people nowadays has windows xp and the smallest screen size it usually defaults to is 800x600. But most people love their screensize and rev it up to 1024x768. Especially us gamers, cause we're more into detail than the average computer users. ;)

For the waypoint pages, are you doing them all by html, or is it PHP? cause I know by html that'll be a little hard on ya cause you'd need to put them all in by hand, and tha'd take some time, and for now only you'd be able to do it cause I'm pretty bad at Html without a proggie like M$ Frontpage. :P

Re: Work on Wesite?
 

well i am using dreamweaver mainly cause i like the upload part of it... it's great... but the only pages that are in php are the review pages of the packs.. and the action pages of them but you never see those...
the other thing is remember if i didn't make it 1024x768 think how much i would have to scroll to see the page? and i know how we like our screen sizes huge mine is 1152 x 864... and at times it is even 1280 x 1024 but again... the scrolling would be really really annoying

but again i can chage it if you want

Re: Work on Wesite?
 

Idiot question N° 1: One thing I'd like to know is why we're so bound to that template. I mean, how much does the template affect the actual code? On an HTML page, altered frame divisions would only mean a change of numbers... is it THAT different with the WP page?

Idiot question N° 2: Likewise, would it be possible to (a) make the top of the page less high so that it occupies less space, or (b) get rid of the bottom bar and put the content somewhere into the top part?

Idiot question N° 3: Would it be possible to apply the important parts of the code (i.e. the parts that define what the site DOES, and not what it looks like) to a cheap-ass, n00bish kind of "framesets made easy" page? Or are frames a no-no?

Concerning other categories: YES! HPB-Bot, GraveBot, well... all bots on BU, in fact. In the long run. =)

Most of all, keep it up - you're learning the stuff as you're coding it, and the site has made considerable progress so far - and at an amazing speed, too.

Re: Work on Wesite?
 

well the website is built around the template... and there is a frameset... the main section is the frame...... and i will add the other bots... so what you want is that you want the content page bigger? i think i can stretch the template to make it a little taller and wider if that works?
