Penguin545 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Needs more desu. Dude are you fucking gay? who the fuck says "desu"
FlareTheHedgehog Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 ... i think you should speak proper english before everyone begins to hate you and kill you. anyways, to the topic at hand. the Website is coming along VERY nicely, Ethereal by far your best work in my eyes. i don't really see why we need to make it "Flashy" because its mostly about the Game and what is in the game, the Website means absolutely Equal to the game but it doesn't need to be too flashy or people will just leave because of the eye pains.
» Pat Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Flash != Flashy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash
Ethereal Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 I thought Flash was like an animation-type program or something. o__o; That's what I assumed, at the very least. And thank you Flare. :)
» Pat Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 It is. e.g. http://essencero.com/ The slide bar (News&Updates;Vital Stars;Manage Accounts;Download Installers) is made in Flash.
Ethereal Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 oic. And if we did know how to use it, where would we add it on the website?
» Pat Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Uhm. Short flash videos instead of plain screenshots, the slideshow, the banner, the buttons possibly, an 'xxx members are currently connected' image, a server status image etc. Of course, some of those can be done in php whatsoever but Flash has become somewhat of a 'seal of quality' if used correctly. Other examples of flash; The banner on top; http://www.ragnarokonline.com/ Fully flash; http://www.mr-thom.com/ The problem with flash is that you can do quite a lot without ActionScript but some things would just require it. & I'm not sure if anyone here knows how to code AS.
Ethereal Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 I admit it would be nice but I as previously said, I don't think people know how to use Flash here. Maybe some do, but don't speak up. Also like you said, some people don't know how to code it. Until you or we find someone who's willing to do it, it won't work. Update : [ Click Me! ] - Box added in. Talked to Leni about the coding of the announcements box, and it's easily stretchable.
Millenia Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 jsyk you can add something to the bottom of the box, too. thats if you wanted to.
Ethereal Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 jsyk you can add something to the bottom of the box, too. thats if you wanted to. I think I might, I tried that but it didn't look so good... (but that was when I used the giant pencil, so nvm.) I'll try again for you sxc. ---- And again, if you can find me someone who knows how to use flash & knows how to code it, then I'd most likely add flash.
» Pat Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Flash itself isn't hard. It's very close to photoshop. Just some special images/animations need AS.
Ethereal Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 It's like you're trying to force me to use a program for a website that I've never used before. And I have no experience with it as well. I'm not sure how it'll work and everything, but if we do decide to use it, we'll figure it out at the end. ----- Edit : Currently working on community page.

» Pat Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Nonono. Don't get me wrong. I was just explaining what flash is. We don't actually need it I was just thinking it could be an option to screenshots & stuff. The web looks h0t anyways.
Ethereal Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 Community page done. Preview : [ Click Me! ]
Millenia Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 the website is starting to look more and more cluttered now
Ethereal Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 the website is starting to look more and more cluttered now Hm, you do have a point there. I'll try removing some things from that community page in a bit... Right now I'm currently on break. All of this photoshopping is making me tired. ty sxc for ur input<3333
Ethereal Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Posted July 24, 2009 Update : Download Page : [ Click Me! ] Revised Community Page : [ Click Me! ] As Leni said before, it kind of looked cramped so I removed the middle image, trying to make it less crampy.
Ethereal Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Posted July 24, 2009 Thanks. (: Now... how to do the support page, hm. And P.S. most of the renders/images I had to render and recolor them myself in order to fit in with the website. And god is it annoying or what. ;_;.
Leaz Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 why is there that big space in the download page? Is text going to be put there or something?
