KAG Community Website

That could do it :)
Yeah, I definitely want a place for clans/groups to proclaim themselves. Probably with private forums for clans and suchlike.

And I want your KoM designs on here for sure :D

 

Shadlington , btw. if you need a domain let me know.

 

For the two main types of content - construction designs and videos - I've got some categories setup that I'd like to run by you folks.
Construction designs:
- Complexity: Basic, Moderate, Complex, Epic
- Construction Type: Castle, Frontline outpost, Just for fun, Trap
e.g. You could search for Moderately complex Castle designs.

Videos:
- Class: Archer, Builder, Knight ---> For if a video is about a particular class (this category can be left blank)
- Video Type: PVP, Tutorial, Other
e.g. You could search for Tutorials for Builders.

I feel like there should be more there but I'm not sure what.
Maybe a construction type for something that is just a component to be reused in other designs?
The video type list is very short :(

Maps and sprite packs will also be available but I'm not sure how to categorise them at all.
Maps could probably be done on size (small/med/large) but I'm not sure what else.
Sprite packs could be split by skins (and broken down into classes?) and texturepacks. Anything else?

Is there any other content types that would be worth including? General non-structure screenshots?
What about server config files? Is there much demand for pre-built rule setups and that sort of thing?

 

Welllllll... Its up. It works, more-or-less.

Needs lots more polish and I have a ton of things to add... But its available. Please start adding constructions and videos :D

Also, I know I don't have a proper homepage yet - its just displaying recently submitted content.
Of which there is only test content (If you see something you made in one of the test ones, please re-submit it properly, I'll be deleting the test stuff later).

Also, I'd really like it if someone would help me out and make some banner images.

I've been testing it and so far I like it. :)

 

Oh, come on people. Give Shadlington some feedback. It's really not that hard.

 

I appreciate that Swaggernuts :D

Right, I've updated the original post to indicate the state of things now.

I'm on holiday from Monday till Friday so the site will likely not update much between then.
I will log on to check most days in case anything pressing comes up though.

 

Still noone has created an account or submitted any content...

Just to be clear you have to login/create an account in order to submit constructions/videos.
Perhaps I need to make that more clear?

 

Oh crap. I didn't see these posts - didn't show as there having been any new posts!

In testing both last week and just now, I haven't had any issues with the captcha.

Can you guys describe exactly what you're doing and any other details like what browsers you're using so I can try to reproduce this? You can let me know here or in IRC.

EDIT: Nevermind, it breaks in firefox.

 

Fixed it!

Please create an account and get to adding content :D

I am going to be adding a bunch of stuff today and will be putting up some decent content harvested from the forums instead of the test stuff so the site is a bit more useful.

 

Added a bunch of content so the site actually has some utility.

Also added maps into the mix.

 

Thanks ilu :)

-Content doesn't immediately get added to the search pages because they have to be indexed first, which happens every hour when the cronjob runs. You'll see its there now though! The frontpage is a little different because it is just reading the content directly (I will be replacing the front page with something other than a list of recent content soon anyway).
-Directly uploading videos doesn't work correctly yet anyway - I don't have my own video player setup yet so I rely on youtube. I will be getting this sorted out soon.
-I am aware of that bug with the video thumbnails not linking and its on my to-do list
-Thanks for the banners! I know the current ones are rubbish and are the wrong sizes, I was waiting for someone like you to come along with some pics for me :)
-Good idea about the sig, thanks!

Thank you very much for the feedback, its always welcome!

In other news, I have now added texture packs as a 4th content option!
