Totally New Sauerbraten Website!!

Hello, I have just begun work on my new Sauerbraten community website. It is nowhere near being finished, but I have released what I have made so far. Unlike my original website which was free to run and was a .googleppages.com site, this website is a .com and is not free to run. Of course, creating an account on the site will be free. Right now there are no adds, however that could change, but probably not. Here is the url:

http://www.sauerbratenonline.com/

Like I said before, this is nowhere near being finished, so go easy on it. Also, since I have to pay to keep it running, please spend at least a little time looking at it. Put feedback for it in this thread.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it may have been homicidal who spammed you.

Although not the most mature way of going about it, homicidal -has- highlighted a rather large problem. To be honest, I don't see why you need a forum in the first place. Oh, and the frame-based layout is horrible, due to it cramping the content to a rather small area, which makes it too hard to read.

Just start with something simple and work your way up.

Homicidal, despite your opinions of other members of the community, deserved or not, you are not allowed to go around griefing people. I was hoping that statements like that weren't really needed, but I guess they are... keep it up and you'll end up banned.

Titanic, I'm a bit offput by your little date thingy. I'd suggest something that outputs text, like this:

<script type="text/javascript">

var d = new Date();
document.write(d.getMonth()+" ");
document.write(d.getDate()+" ");
document.write(d.getFullYear());

</script>

Whoops, that was sloppy. I apologize, my roommate was making a very short-term offer of pizza. Anyhow, here's a cleaner, more functional bit of javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date();
document.write(d.getMonth()+1+" "+d.getDate()+", "+d.getFullYear());
</script>

what happened ?

You should probably not have your email addy on the forums page. If you can use PHP use a sendmail form. I'd be happy to email you one.

Plus on any user input validate that the data does not contain scripting, ie.

<script>
alert(document.cookie);
</script>

SQL Inject. ie.

union all select 1,title,1,1 from forum;

Best bet is to go with a pre built forum. There are plenty on sourceforge.

#19: How about...

by steve_e on 07/09/2008 17:55

If you wish to develop another URL concerning Sauerbraten/Cube2 stuff why not just point to:

http://www.cubeengine.com/forum.php4
for discussion forums, and:

http://www.quadropolis.us/
for a place to upload maps, mods scripts etc...

I personally see no point in competing/extending with the existing community outlets that Sauer offers other than providing another URL search term for Google to list.

Hmmm 6 times 7 = 42 : glad we did maths by rote in primamry school.

I must agree... I dont mean do put you down, all work concerning Sauerbraten is good work, but this community is so small that it does not need another forum. It would be much better to clean this forum up a bit, maybe change the forum layout and add some features, even just put up new forum "program" and link it to the current database so that no threads are lost.

Aside from the lack of edit functions and formatting, I actually really like this forum.

also, little advice:

change the header image to a .png, your .jpg is full of artifacts (.jpg's are good for pictures where very little is a solid color, if there is a solid color it fills it with distortion near any edge, .png's won't have this problem)

SVG is best. :)
I have a SVG of the cube part of the logo, if you want it.

No pngs are better than gif. End.

(Smaller file sizes, 32bpp vs 256-colour, 8 bit transparency vs 1 bit transparency etc etc)

#26: how to instance an .obj type model ?

by gab@a on 07/14/2008 18:49

Is there a code snippet to handle making an instance of an .obj type model ?
(make a copy without loading another one ..).

@SheeEttin:
Not all browser can handle svg or support all features. So PNG would be a good choice.
