Yes, we have a webpage, and it's being updated. (I really think this should be in the main forum).

I have created an 'intro' page on what will soon be the main access page: http://www.civfanatics.net/~demogame/civ3. The page is under construction at the moment, but will contain links to the current progress of the page. Currently, the structure of the page is coming into place, and Fionn is creating the site navigation.

After giving it some thought, I decided on 3 sections versus 4 (top row, followed by a 2nd row with 3 columns) due to space and athestics (size mainly). The e-registry and province scripts will be the next to go up.

The origanal page discussion can be found here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24142).

Just posted to subscribe to the new thread. :)

Sooo many people dont know about the 'receive updates to this thread' button down the bottom of the page. >sigh<

Anyway, this is a good idea. I will show my own ignorance now by asking if the last demogame (I know, don't mention the war) had a web page?

It was in the works during the last demogame. :)

"Sooo many people dont know about the 'receive updates to this thread' button down the bottom of the page"

Well, now I do. Thx ;)

the only problem is that you get a email for every post :-( i would prefer it being handled like the subforum-updates so it would only be shown in the user-cp.

Subforum updates? ;)

Anway, an update! :D

The user and province/city database structures are being forumulated. So far, it looks like this: (note my first attempt at the code tag. ;))

Database with examples


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User


Name Password User ID City ID

Chiefpaco Persian10 1 1
Strider IDApage 2 1
Disorganizer moreparks 3 1

City
Name City ID Improvement List (array) City Map

Berlin 1 Temple, granary... P1_B.jpg
CSX 2 Temple P1_CSX.jpg


Province
Name Province ID Territory Map Political Map
P1 1 P1_t.jpg P1_p.jpg


This is just the sample fields and data for the database. Of course, it will mostly likely need to be normalized (shudder). Any suggestions are welcome. :)

Just a warning, some posts of this thread might wind up as a 'testing zone'. ;) (for a possible feature of the page where governors could update from there.)

Might be the next few posts...

This should go into the Demogame II website updates/suggestions thread. (testing for possible webpage use)

Testing. 1 2 4

Testing. Does it work?

SCORE!!!!

(ok, got a little carried away). That was the new website feature in action. It will be moved and tweaked for use in turn chat instructions (might be more 'invisible' by then).

Of course, I'll have to ask permission from Thunderfall, since he tweaked that part of the code. ;)

at first glance i said is that it then i noticed the links and the under construction lol i think we might need to change the map of the phonetican thing as it is a bit out of date but other than that looks good

Didn't you read that it's a placeholder? ;)

Besides, that's one huge image. I just stuck it there since the new game hasn't started yet. We don't have any screen shots.

next question whats CGI?

It's another form of a web-based scripting language.

Update!

The placeholder files are starting to be put in place. So far, the pages for the "Home" section has been added.

Update

The Forum and Indicies info placeholder pages have been added.

Update

Placeholder pages are about 50% complete. The Government section is now complete. This will hold the lastest discussions, or links to discussions/polls held by that official.

is the webpage gonna have a mini forum?

There could be a mini-guestbook-type forum so governors/departments can post their turn chat instructions. (as sort of a log), and for the Demogame RPG announcements...

But, I may have one as a 'suggestion-box'.

if you have a suggestion box you might just get tonnes of spamm posts like "improve the site" or "do more stuff on RA2"

Or, you know, stuff like "you should implement a three-tier xml-based personalization engine"

but chieftess would understand that just no-one else would :)

That's the plan. ;) (but a bit more simplified..)

So, what will it be? Civ Beige? Persian Blue? British Orange? :D

But, there's only 20 megs per demogame (civ2 and 3) to work with. :) And up to 15 are city screenshots.

In the last demogame, we had about 50+. at 100k, it's 5 megs. In huge maps, we could possibly double that, even triple if we're warmongering. Then there's other images that will go up - maps, flags, game stats, and some images from the previous demogame.

well we could beg Tf for some more space

Or upload the files on cfc-upload feature and use a link on the webpage to them :-)

That's the other part of the plan! ;)

Update!

I have found a free MySQL server!!!! http://freesql.org/

This will be used for the user info, demogame RPG, and province/city info.

And the plans are still being planned! :D

Update

The database is being formulated:

Demouser: ID | Name | Password | City_ID (Foreign Key to City) | Access_Lvl | RPG_ID (foriegn key - can be null) | Color_Scheme (possible)

RPGUser: RPGID | Gold | (more info to come if Strider-and-gang have anymore to add)

City: City_ID | Name | Improvement_List | Image_URL

Province: Prov_ID | Name | City_ID | Image_URL

Just found this upon reference to it in a chat i had with Fionn! Looks like you are doing a great job! And believe me, I've been a webmaster for some years now and yours is shaping up to be a fine site. Just make sure you don't get too carried away with graphics(although you could always blame that on Fionn if you do ;))

If you need anything for the website ever just send a pm, I know HTML, JavaScript, some PERL, .asp, and I'm learning all about databases recently. If you ever have an emergency or just need something feel free to ask :D

Maybe add a "link to thread" to city and province?
This could be maintained directly by the mayor/governor.
Also maybe memofields would be nice.

Shouldnt be all registry info in the database for a user? then we would easily get the e-registry out of that and also make the census work easier.

Also, maybe 3 or even more pictures of the city will be needed:
city view, city detail and a city vincinity map

also we could have a wondrs tyle page where it says what wonders we have what wonders we dont and which ones we are aiming for

is there a working prototype of our page we can "play" with? i dont mean the static demoversion ;-)

Guess what dis?

Another Update!!!

See the latest prototype (http://www.civfanatics.net/~demogame/civ3/)!!! It's near the bottom of the page. I can make a temporary working prototype. :)

Would be a good idea. Give us a prototype fully functional, but with dummy data maybe. Just to get the look and feel for improovements ;-)

I can't do the menus yet, but I can put sample data as an image. The image is reduced size BTW.

With a prototype i meant something to "click and feel" ;-)
I will wait for the real prototype...

im working on it. Patience young one :) cant rush greatness hehe

yeh thats what i thought a prototype meant not to sure how your gonna feel it though dis ;)

You want a prototype? Then you have another Update!

http://www.civfanatics.net/~demogame/civ3/

The page has been put up, and all that's left to do is put in the actual pages inplace of the placeholders!

The Demogame Webpage is nearing completion!

Future changes to look for - databases and implementing the e-registry.

One problem:
Long Load times.... Maybe reduce graphics size? Not all of use have broadband connections at home ;-)

Second problem: page is bigger than 1024x768?!?

dis i made the graphics and they load fine on my 56k connection, and the rs is 1024x768 it might be a bit bigger because i didnt have the excat browser size for it
it will be ok, trsut in us

if you sit down and dont do anything it will come

I'm pretty good at flash, and have made a few sites myself, If you need any help email me at wp_orion@hotmail.com, looks like your site hasnt been updated fro a while ;)

Is there any progress concerning the demogame website or has the project been abandoned?
