More changes

[Marked 197]

Hi all,

 

Usually I wouldn't make an announcement for such small changes, but I thought what the heck since they'll be few and far between until I finish uni.

 

First up are some updates to the scripts section design:

 

So this shows the authors avatar in a nice shadowed circle, and there's now a banner displaying the engine the script is compatible with (which also links to the engine's page)

 

 

This is also a script comment - redesigned to suit our forum's design.

 

I'd also like to tell you about the future of the comments system:

 

Right now there's a bunch of features missing, such as the bottom buttons don't even work. I need to code up those functions to make the comments system a lot better. But after I do that, the goal is to have comments avaliable on all our sections; even the engines section so people can leave reviews. The idea is to open the site up to the community in terms of our content sections and allow discussions within them - just as if they were topics. So you can ask for help with a script, post assignments in the tutorials section, etc etc. All of this will be integrated in the recent posts module on the forum index and all around the website too where appropriate.

 

 

The other change I made was to make these graphically better, and also link those banners to the engine's section

 

 

Related to this is whether we should have RMVX (not Ace) back on the forums. I removed it, but all of the content currently lives in the content sections. Vote in the poll or post below :thumbsup:

I bet theres some people out there who still use VX. You could combine VX and VX Ace in the same section into a "VX/Ace" section.

[Bigace360 38]

What Pol said, mostly because besides the scripts and some minor changes, All the resources are used in both engines.

[Noob Saibot 38]

I see no point unless you just combine the two in one section.

[Marked 197]

Wow this an old topic. But yeah I agree, the two are currently combined into a single section.

 

You should stick around Noob, I'm going release something pretty nifty in the next few weeks :>

[Noob Saibot 38]

I plan on it. Working on a new game making software list, but more on that later.

And sorry about the necropost didn't look at the dates of the post till after the fact.

[CrimsonInferno 35]

Yes, some people still use it. I bought VX before VX Ace and I'd like to start making games with in the future. lol I think maybe a smaller section within ACE would do?

 

also, site looks even better than last time! :D

Crimson you're back :D Moty 2012. Or 11? U stayin'? :( I've been working really hard on stuff lately as usual. I've been thinking about project cards v3 :)

[CrimsonInferno 35]

I'm sorry about that. I don't try to disappear, but so much has happened in the last two years that I often forget about the internet. Most of the people who were working on my project with me quit so I've been trying to do resources and events by myself, and that means staying on my project all my free time. lol I'll try to stick around this time, even trying to get a new computer to put my software on. xD

 

Also, really love the changes to the site! And bringing back the Project cards (and redoing them?) sounds like a neat idea! :D
