Demogame Webpage Updates & Suggestions!

[BCLG100]

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

 

[Danke]

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

 

[BCLG100]

but chieftess would understand that just no-one else would

 

[Chieftess]

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

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

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

 

[Chieftess]

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.

 

[Chieftess]

And the plans are still being planned!

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

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

 

[disorganizer]

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

 

[Chieftess]

Guess what dis?

Another Update!!!

See the latest prototype!!! It's near the bottom of the page. I can make a temporary working prototype.

 

[disorganizer]

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 ;-)

 

[Chieftess]

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

 

[disorganizer]

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

 

[FionnMcCumhall]

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

 

[BCLG100]

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

 

[Chieftess]

You want a prototype? Then you have another Update!

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.
