New Layout Update

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

That makes a lot of forums... I'm not sure what to vote

The draft is good but I think regrouping some of them would be a better idea ; all comes down to the estimated traffic in each of these forums. And a dead forum is a forum nobody bothers to visit...

After that, personally I'm not fond of clicking more times than needed to browse down a forum's hierarchy, it makes the navigation a pain IMHO.

There is however a need for a good revamp. I like the idea of the separation between bots.

I don't like the idea of seperating bots...
people just won't be exposed to as many bots because they'll just keep visiting their own little forum section they visit a lot and they won't get to try out the many other bots here...
perhaps just seperating the dead ones...

@splo

yeah well they will still browse their own little sections if the'yve bookmarked that particular bot forum so it makes no difference


@pmb yeah i thought that was alot of clicking but i had to be to keep it simple clean and well laid

[Huntkillaz]

hey pmb

do u reckon it's possible to have something like this


http://isohunt.com/

top right corner menu


therefore we can have the sub froums pop under form the index and then clicking will take you to that chosen sub-sub forum

so all the dark dot forumlinks will be in the pop under


be a fun timewaster too

*BUMP*

Now do we switch to a new layout or not? I don't mean to be pushy, but look at poor dead bwoy - where's he gonna post all the stuff? Shouldn't we try to get the new layout up and running and include a HL2 SDK-related forum there? Then we could start a poll if dead can be moddie there and get it over with...

Hey, TWrecks, thanks for trying to kick these guys into action...
I have a couple suggestions:
=================================
The Yappa:

• Half-Life and HL Mods
• Source and Source Mods
• Steam
• Other Games / Mods
• Offtopic
• Spam

games run on different engines should be in their respective categories.
=================================
Developers Farm

• Mapping
  • HL1
  • HL2
  • Other
• Modeling
  • HL1
  • HL2
  • Other
• Waypointing

Or we could think about adding a waypointing sub-forum to each bot forum.

Agreed...

I think it's important for games using different engines to be in different categories!

also the (mods) thing just helps ppl teling them how many mods are supported by the bots


Re: Bot Forums one advantage of having the same layout across all bot froums is so that ppl will start posting in the correct forums

possible drop down menus????? top right corner menu

Me likes very much!
Go for it!!!

pbmm waypoint format is exactly the same as CF's waypoint format, except it stores different values into the camp start and end direction...
Austin and SF's waypoint editor is just the waypoint editor.. has nothing to do with the waypoint format..
