so, have i got something set improperly then, cause the maps page is borked, well not borked, but not as easy to get to the last page as the other sections are..

By maps section, I'm guessing orph means the maps forum, as opposed to the maps section of the website. The "problem" is because of the chapters system - rather than list pages in the topic titles it lists the chapters. To jump to straight to the newest unread posts of a thread Orph, you can just click on the snark next to the topic name in the list.

I think it goes to the newest post that you haven't read - therefore if you left a thread at post number 23, and it had reached 56 on your return, clicking on the snark would take you to 24. This of course relies on your cookies having been stored right, if there were a problem I *think* it just takes you to the newest post in the thread.

ahh, see... now thats the response i was after, sorta anyways..

see, this is how it looks from my perspective, if you have not seen a thread post yet, the page number is big/fat looking, i know where to click, so.. i don't have to sift thru umpteen pages, i just click on the last fat number.. if the snark is accurate, then i have no complaints..

fiz, i wasn't picking on blue.. yet. but he was attempting to acquire my wrath, in this particular place (meaning site suggestions) if you joke, lep ignores the reply and i do NOT want mine overlooked, so we tend to not joke much here.. i do not post site suggestions lightly..!!

An option if you want to vote or not in you own poll would be useful.

I think models, texture packs, prefabs, and any other resources should be treated the way maps are in a user's profile, particularly with static meshes (or props or whatever you like to call them) becoming so prominent in today's engines.

I'm thinking about that for Half-Life 2, though it remains to be seen how I'm going to organise it. Perhaps with those spinkee gmail-style div/iframe login thingies...

from the bits and bobs i have gathered, making the meshes for HL2 will be some task.. we might have to set them above mapping a bit in accolades.. it would be nice however, to honor the hard work in some way.. i personally would love to see more of the inane objects in maps from now on.. fire hydrants,phone booths, and mail boxes were sorely missed in HL1.

minor issue, noticed it in my CP - I presume it's down to a dodgy calculation/dodgy code for calculation. Either way it looks a bit odd, only a minor thing.

I have a suggestion rather then a bug, but I think it'd be really helpful.

In the Help Forum:
What if when the person is creating the thread they have to select a category the problem falls under:

Hammer Errors (Hammer icon as the thread icon):
Errors with the hammer editor, such as: "I cannot get hammer configured properly"

Game Errors (HL or Steam icon as thread icon [steam would probably be more fitting, since its not a hldm map]):
General runtime errors with HL, Steam, or whatever. This includes "random" crashes and whatnot.

Wad Errors:
Cannot find wad errors or "how do I make textures in wally" type crap.

Compile Errors:
general compile errors and questions. This option should REQUIRE the person's full compile log. The log could be linked to from a text icon on the upper right hand corner

General (snark icon):
general computer problems and crap.

Now, for wad and compile errors some icon would be needed, so you could tell what the topic of the error is before you click on the thread.

Each option has several mandatory settings.

for example, the text file of the persons compile log would be required in a compile error thread.

Under general, hammer, and game errors can have an optional image upload of a screen shot showing the error.


I just think those changes or ones close to them would help A LOT. [addsig]

Good idea- was going to categorise help like that, but some good extra ideas there I've come to realise the search function here isn't terribly good- PHP's fault- so hopefully it will help... when I can get back on the FTP...

i would give almost anything if the reply box retained the text you put into it..

once again, i lost a very long post, this time cause my new mouse has a back button that when clicked goes to the last page you saw.. yup i accidentally clicked it

PFL uses a similar code to this site, you can go forward or back several pages and retain all your text.. /me wonders whats the diff

every once in a while, lep slides in something new.. the "question mark" that forms over words in the tut section is a nice addition.. kudos to whomever thought that one up [addsig]

Browsers will often store what you type into 'normal' forms, but I don't know of any way to make it work with the system here... unless I make a 'save' button... hmmmMmm

is there any way to view the source pages at PFL and see how unseth did it?

he uses much of the same BBcodes as you, so i assume its a similar program he used to create PFL's pages..

honestly speaking, when i lose a page worth of text, its accidental, remembering to hit a "save" button, prolly wouldn't help someone as stupid as i am
