or if you prefer

He knows when you are sleeping,
He knows when you're on the can,
He'll hunt you down and blast your as
From here to Pakistan

You better not breathe,
You better not move,
You're better off dead I'm telling you dude
Santa Claus is gunning you down

...So lock your doors and hit the floor
Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

Right the site is back. Here are the notes.

Addition of the user preferences page.
Addition of an items per page option on the user preference page.
Fix for a site exploit when editing certain items. Yeah, like I am going to tell you exactly what I goofed on.
Alteration of search page options. These are not now just boolean include/exclude.
Addition of custom critters. You can now upload custom critters to the site, these should be ones that you want to share with others as they are also downloadable.
Critters can also have an image uploaded. This is automatically resized for display. Image headers are also generated in the style of the rest of the site.
Addition of flags to several database tables, these are for future development and should have little to no impact on the standard site operations.

Addtion of short urls for critters.- It is now possible to use the url www.cityofguides.com/critter/nn to display a critter. (where nn is the critter number).

the custom critter upload should be the start of uploading all the stuff. costumes are causing some aggro though. KS has also uploaded one of his creations so that the area isnt empty.

just taking the site down for an update. brb

i use all combination of browsers and have had "form submitted not valid". and i havnt posted much.

how about an option in the comment/review to select AT and level that played through it, also an option to say if it was played solo or by a team.

i am going to add reviews on at some point. it has a lot more info in it.

BTW _emo_, any chance that we can tell search to exclude arcs that you've already reviewed/commented on. Or to highlight arcs in the search results that you have already commented on/reviewed.

i can add it to the list. there is a new search page almost done. based on some of the earlier feedback oyu gave. it works much nicer.

actually one other thing i could do with feedback on. when you upload a critter mission or costume. do you want people to download them? and how? plain text on screen or plain text download was what i was thinking.

ok ok i should have waited a bit longer. but i am impatient at times. sorry about that.

i like the idea of voting the level. could make the groups stuff better to find things in. i got the critter stuff working well just need to get the search going. i should then be able to sideport the code to all the other ma stuff and it will be done. semi-cracked the styling problem it is about as sorted as it can be i think. so thats not holding us back anymore. should have another update soon don't hit me

Oh, and if I could make a request. One thing I like about review sites is too read the comments -- but at the moment comments are a bit sparse, so they're a bit fiddly to find.

[/ QUOTE ]

theres an R on the ones with comments on. will need to change that later to a C though. going to need the R for reviews.

you know it comes to something when there are so many complaints about devs don't listen then when a dev asks for info there is only one response. sometimes i weep

well since there is no other opinions i am going with leifs. by cohesion i assume you mean powers are meshing and the description matches the powers. so a description of "likes to burn from range" doesn't go with ice melee powers.

right i need some choices from people.

i am looking at doing uploads of ma files so that you don't have to type and as they are text file i can do sharing from the site. anyone interested?
well you can give some feedback then. i have a critter upload sort of working but am not sure what to do the ratings on. missions are easy fun, story, etc. but what do you want to rate critters and other stuff on?

Desperately NEED CoX replacment huh!
Yes I feel like that sometimes too

[/ QUOTE ]
Don't unsubscribe - cutting off your CoX is probably unhealthy.

I feel that CoX just needs an expansion to make everyone happy.

[/ QUOTE ]

If they slip in a CoX expansion and push it right then they would hear squeals of delight.

oh i am going to like it here.

someone once said that they wouldnt play this game as cox sucks. i told him that he was doing it wrong. just got a blank look.

i read the pure js version further down that page and decided that i could do a better one. great minds think alike. problem that i have found is that some browsers render the file element different sizes so the click for the upload button can move sometimes outside of the clickable area of the overlay. so it can get screwy. i am looking at attaching to the dom element during page load and seeing if i can override some of the events.

i have a way of styling them it uses javascript though so no nonjs fall back. i wrote a bit of javascript that scans the page for specific class and elements and generates a styled box to the user. nonjs just gives the same normal box.

problem is styling it believe it or not. some fool left out allowing styles to be attached to file upload entries. we are having to use javascript to turn the original transparent while hovering it over a pretend styed box looks really bad when it goes wrong.

PIA = Pain In As

well khaine did a fair bit he denies it but he did it. we got a load of new toys to add to the site as soon as we can work some bits out. the dumb bit is that the difficult bit is easy and the easy bit is stupidly hard.

as i like doing hints let me just say that file uploads are involved and a PIA

i have now signed up and you can message me if you like. khaine said something about branding irons and recharge sockets. my account lists as brand new i have been using khaines fir a while now so i am not a noob just a new account

First post O_O

The fraps recording is right. Its not compressed. You need to run it through a compressor. link.. link.. weres the link I had. brb.

Can't find it atm will have alook when i get home later.

only way to get the powertrays is with a fraps recording, which as you have seen is HUGE! so then you need to compress it using another toy. demos always lose the powertrays and transparancy. phantom army is sort of weird.
