Records Website

I have updated my Pontifex Website.. It contains complete map packs that have been released (I.E. Mine and now, Chillum's)  There you may download the textures, and the map packs. As well as review records for every official and custom map pack.  

Chillum, I have split your map pack. I added your textures to my textures zip executable and made all your levels and txt files into its own map pack.  Please let me know if you wish me to remove it from my site, or would like me to modify it for you in anyway.  I have also added your map pack to the records section.

You may update and view the records here:

or

Gray, Chillum, Falkon, and every other Veteran:

Let me know if you would like to use this site.. At least until the infamous Chronic Logic one comes to existence.  If you think there isn't a need or my site just sucks, please say so.. I won't be mad. I just will quit updating it.. Either way, I value your opinions.

Thanks,
DarkWolfNine

I'm perfectly happy with what you've done with my map pack :-) and I think it would be a great idea for us to use your site for records. In fact, if CL are (as they claim) far too busy to make record tables themselves, maybe they could find the time to put a link to your site somewhere on theirs.

I've been keeping a master list of scores for myself, shall I send this to you so you can update the ones on your site?

On a side note, I've been wondering how the other record holders would feel about putting their bridges up for download? I'd be willing to do this myself if everyone else felt it was a good idea.

Sure, let's use the site for records... Are you saying you'll update it regularly? Fine http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I'm uncertain about whether CL would link to your site, meybe they don't want the records page to be available to the warez people... but the only alternative is an official page on CL's site, and I don't see it emerging soon...

As to uploading the bridges, I agree - let's all do it... Maybe we'll get more new submissions that way http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Thanks for your input.. Right now, you are able to update the records if you come from these forums.. But I could build a pretty simple login feature if you don't mind logging into my site to post.... Maybe I would put in the users manually, so we can make sure it is people from these forums who have paid.. (maybe like, keep the same username or something)  

As for uploading bridges, the records page I built has that ability, but a couple people thought that we shouldn't show bridges, because someone might get a couple bucks lower on the uploaded bridge..

But The code is still in there, All I have to do is unremark it and you will have the ability to upload the bridges as well (with the record).

The original reason I put the code in for uploading the bridge, is that, you could be a witness to the cost and the bridge.. More of a verification.  But I am game for anything.

Let me know,
DarkWolfNine

P.S.  Gray, If you would like, I don't have a problem with changing the background, etc. and the front page, so that you could link directly from your website.. It will make it look similar, etc. and people could view the records, but not change them..  Since its all dynamic, it will just be up to the person logged in, to update the record that he/she has broken..

If we do go ahead with uploading bridges, maybe we should exclude my map pack for a month or two? Give people more time to play it without complete spoilers being so easily available?

Just an idea, and of course it's up to the people who're actually playing it and not me :-)

I think a login feature would provide some protection against abuse by visitors and would be a good feature in general. After all, none of us end up uploading bridges on a daily basis http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Viewing the site should be possible without logging in, of course.

That's no big problem, my site has had loadable bridges all the time - normally it's obvious when a bridge is an improvement of a previous one. Maybe authors should be able to post comments like 'improved xxx's bridge'...

I like this, maybe you could make it look very similar, but in different colors - like an 'affiliate site'... I'd make a link to your site right in my Pfx (demo) records section.

Sounds good. give me some time to build this (the login)and tweak it..   I have been pretty sick since last Thursday night and I am still pretty sick.. but I didn't get to work on my computer at all over the weekend.  I should have something decent, by the end of next weekend like (May 5th-May 6th).  I will present the few of you (Gray, Chillum, Falkon2, Mendel) and maybe a couple others, for review and change requests.. then after that, we should be good to link up to places like, Gray's site, etc.

Records site Update.

Gray, Chillum.. I need you guys to contact me, asap.  you can email me at mailto:darkwolf9@hotmail.com">darkwolf9@hotmail.com, I have MSN messenger open all day so it checks it constantly.

I have updated the records site, to accept the uploading of bridges again, and I have added the Login feature.. (That is why I want to contact you) I have created your two users and I want you to finish setting up your profile, and let me know what else needs to be done to the site.  Then we can add the rest of the users, etc.  I have also changed the look of the site to try and match yours Gray.  

Talk to you both soon.
