Disscussion: The New TWL Site

[RiiStar]

Then become one or hire one. Here is a spaceship example of superman programmer:

http://stats.svszone.com/

It's a website coded for 4v4 league and practice (corresponds to TWD). It has many cool features, many of them overlap with jones' suggestions, but the most important fact is that it was coded and designed by ONE person - Underlord. The site was functioning and all ready after few days of work.

If he really did it in a couple of days (and didn't work on it and release it a couple days after it was announced) Kudos to him,
he's a better php programmer than me, who has more time (and motivation) for it...

I can hardly imagine running TWL site without primary functions such as playing time (PT), who subs out, who subs in, game log savings, working predictions system and working rating system. If you can't figure how to make predictions working, just start a forum section in TWL 'Predictions' and put up a thread for every match up, so that captains can verbally discuss preferred times and the scheduler finalizes the time by closing the thread. I don't want to find out at the last day that my request of time change against an opponent has changed.

All of those except for 'Predictions' (which btw has nothing to do with when your game is decided by caps to play)
are things to do with the bot. TWL Hosts make their own logs and send them to Ops...

I am not a bot programmer, i know most of the bot team are extremely busy and like webdev
there ain't many with the skill stepping up to help.

Predictions i can sort for the website, but fuck ppl i work 10hours a day,
im planning a wedding in January which my fiancee is flipping out over and
this takes up all my remainder spare time. (she's real impressed with that)

It is nice for all of you that get to sit and play Trenchwars/Distension/TWD/TWL to go on and on at
Flab and I but don't understand how long and time-consuming this can be.

And that its more than Slapping a few pages together.
Not to mention I have to battle and check everything against 4 browsers cos of this
stupid browser war thats going on with IE, FF, Opera, Google Chrome...

Which is why i got to the point where i was telling ppl to Code it
themselves or fuck off no offense to you vt and Jones, ur comments are constructive.

Just give us time, its not like im just gonna go FUCK THAT IM DONE when
TWL round one starts, i'll be adding and changing shit right through to January it would seem.
Good thing i get 6weeks off from work in like 2-3 weeks over xmas...

I see you castro! Kudos to you for the previous TWL site

Our intentions (mine and jones) are to give interesting ideas that could be added in someone's spare time, or as a part of some school project or simply because there is a small group of people that find it passionate. If you don't have time and will to do it, it's natural, for some people this game is just a job they get no money and thanks for. Life has more opportunites to face than coding a bot to an ancient game. If the ideas are not to work, so be it. We need people that are both interested in shooting at spaceships and are actually not a kids who don't read any books in spare time but watch shows instead.

Any ways, good luck and thanks for being mature, Riistar.

Like i said i don't mind posts like yours and Jones and i like a lot of the ideas
mentioned or even planned to add most of them myself...

I just need time to add them as we go through the season...

I just wanted ppl to understand that when they want something yesterday,
and harp on about it they need to come to grips and realize we aren't inhuman machines that spit out code 24/7/365...
Tho I am trying to put as much time into this as possible (even found sneaky ways of coding at my IT job and uploading to the site).

If most things are working alright now, since apart from a few admin tools the
core essentials are in place for TWL i can move onto these "it-would-be-nice-to-have" additions...
While fixing bugs and errors as we go...

[MirrorriM]

No, they werent.

Not my problem they kept you out of the loop. They talked to me for several days.

[veetee]

Yeah, I was asked by you to get 5pm EST, jones, so I established a connection with mirror and valholy.

New site sucks for reasons that Paul mentioned. I don't wander around a TWL site in my free time so I don't care what it looks like as long as it gets me the information I want: an organized compilation of TWL results.

For all you lazy ppl... Guess wat... Isn't i nice?
Looky Match Scores on schedule box...

For those who "have no time to click to other parts of the site" you
may notice a link below the tabs that says "Last Results" click it..........

nice addition riistar! very aesthetically pleasing.

[RiiStar]

Predictions

They're there now...
Do people read the fucking news on the site?

Only 3 people have used it so far!

[Edit]
Thanks Dwopple for noticing that you couldn't add predictions...
This is why you shouldn't copy/paste code when ur in a hurry to leave work!

*fixed*

[Dwopple]
