#10554: google ads experiment

by Aardappel_ on 05/21/2008 21:52

so I ran google ads on this site for nearly 3 weeks... just to see what a high traffic site like this would bring in.

As it turns out, it averaged only $1.50 a day (maybe also because the ads weren't very relevant), but certainly not nearly enough to bother visitors with ads for :)

So seems like you need really insane traffic before google ads are worth it... I guess 6 million visitors requesting 13 million pages is peanuts :)

So they have been turned off... enjoy :)

You have to download and install libSDL: http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php

@Aard: I wonder how many in here did never see those ads due to Adblock, like myself. :)

the ads weren't targeted at people like you, but at the gazillion visitors from all the "free games" sites out there.

45$ in one month. And how much do the site cost in one month?
I never understand people who actually click on ads. 0_o

Well I didn't notice it anyway...

Yeah, that's why statistics about AdBlock-Users and -Non-Users would be interesting. :)

#10563: More Questions

by Titanic12ship on 05/23/2008 01:35

Hello, I wanted to know if there is a way to change the default map. (The map the game loads on startup.)

Also, can you change the default music? (not just for one map but for all maps.)

I saw those ads.

Also, I'd like to say that $1,5/day is very decent.

OK I read what it said to do to load a map on startup but that didn't work. It said to type "-1S" in the advanced options box the "S" being the name of the level, so I did, but when I started the game up, it didn't load the map.

And I still need to know how to change the default music.

dude, it's a lower case L, not a 1 (one)

anyways the music... you'll find the playasong alias in default_map_settings.cfg

feel free to modify it, the following is the one I made for sandbox, it's just an example of how you can change it.

setsong = [
if (= $arg1 0) [
music Artificial-World nextsong
] [
if (= $arg1 1) [
music Home nextsong
] [
if (= $arg1 2) [
music Sense-of-Happiness nextsong
] [
if (= $arg1 3) [
music Last-Flight nextsong
] [
if ( = $arg1 4) [
music Transition nextsong
] [
music traveling_minstrels nextsong
]
]
]
]
]
]

playasong = [setsong (rnd 6)]

Your distro probably has packages for the SDL dev libraries. Just search "lib", "sdl", and "dev" (or a combination thereof).

Thanks for your help.

I have a couple more questions:

1. I made a song in Apple's Garageband and would like to know if there was a way to convert the song file (.band) to a format that Sauerbraten would understand. (.ogg)

2. What is the best program to make hudguns with?

#10571: Re: Read the Docs, please

by MovingTarget on 05/23/2008 23:30, refers to #10570

1) I have no experience whatever with Mac, but found through quick Google searching (which you should do from now on) that GB can export to AIFF, which you should be able to convert to ogg with some tool or other.
2) There is no "best program" to model hudguns with. Those of us with a large budget go for 3DS Max, Maya, and the like. Those of us who have a very limited budget go with Blender. Pretty much all of the major 3D suites can export to the required formats, so it's really your choice. However, Blender's UI has quite a learning curve, so if you choose it, be prepared to learn a good bit before you can begin modeling.

I wonder is it possible to have map-related aliases to not bloat up config.cfg ?
