RMN V2 - YOUR THOUGHTS

Posts

Pages: first 12 next last
Pretty self explanitory, spread your thoughts about the new RPG network site.

Me, I personally love it. Without looking like a whole different site, RMN v2 looks new and flashy. People will still recognize it as RMN, but it's layout is new and exciting. I personally also like the arrows next to Games Resources Articles, and what's this? Search. I still have yet to explore everything, but I thought it would be nice to give some feedback to the awesome people who put this up.
It's pretty snazzy, though there's a few things that are still not up. And the fact that game logs got toasted. At least, from what I can see. Unless WIP redirects the blog stuff back to the old log entries.

And resources are kind of borked. At least, that's what I heard from a reliable source. I haven't tried it myself, though I will soon.

Oh, and I personally would like a wider quick reply box. D:

EDIT: ... and I can't edit any of my user information, like avatar, signature, the works. D: And why do we have a "Makerscore" info thing in the general info on the left of the posts ALONG WITH the little icon version? Seems a little redundant to me...

I forgot to restore the game log stuff. It's all loaded back up into the blogs, but won't be pretty for a bit.

You can't edit information through the main site yet. You have to use the forum stuff to do it. Sorry.

Resources had some issues that I am currently fixing.

All right, that's no problem.

Meaning I have to click my username in forum topics to get there. Okay... woah, that's not pretty. XD Ah well, very rarely would anyone have to go there, eh?

-waits patiently-

Though, I would like to know, when do you think it'd be safe to start doing a resource dump? <.<
Ya I also tried to upload a few resources, and they failed everytijme telling me it was an invalid upload. Also it's a little slow with larger tilesets.

EDIT: Also if you click on search, a massive error log appears (not the arrow, the actual word "Search". I also just tried to add a review, and another error came up.

You have to hit the Upload button for the file to be uploaded. The system doesn't do any kind of good check for that.

The main search page is totally busted right now. You'll have to use the dropdown search.
A suggestion: might it be a good idea to have the status of the games on the main games page? I don't know if that'd cause unneeded clutter or not, but it might let people see exactly what the status of the game in question is, so they don't have to click and go to the game's page just to see that it's canceled.

And is there any inspiration behind having a "Keep" button instead of a "Delete" button for subscriptions? I'm just curious. <.<

-will wait until the dust settles for a resource dump-

I dunno. It just turned out that way when I made the subscription page. As for game status, I could add that.
Umm... I know I'm making a lot of posts in this topic (hey, makes the site better, eh?), but I was wondering...

I was planning on doing a FSM resource dump in the near future. But I'm not sure what category it falls under for custom-ness. They're not ripped from any game, but if I put that it's custom, it implies that I made them, which I obviously didn't.

So, yeah, suggestions/directions?
Are we still going to be able to sort through Submitted Games via score/rating, date, engine, and the like? That feature strangely seems to have been disabled-- unless it was intentional.

I had to redo pretty much all the pages and that has yet to make it back in.

As for the FSM stuff, trance, I'm not sure yet.
I hit upload WIP, but it tells me it's an invalid upload.
This is pretty good. A few of the things don't seem to be working at the moment but once there up this site will be even better.

Yeah, RMN v2 would be pretty awesome if it worked.
I think it looks great, not that there was anything wrong with the old site. :)

It's not like I can do any better. Great job.
Definetly a nice improvement.

Bravo!

EDIT: Although, there is one thing I find odd.
My game has 175 downloads... but it says last download was never???
Minor and not important, but just something to point out...

I will assume the function is either not entirely implemented yet, or that it will only show downloads since the last update (we may have not been tracking it previously).

WIP would have to give the final answer, that is just my logical assumption.
Here's another booboo WIP. I think I may have been part of the problem, because I got this while trying to view recent resources, as well as RMXP chipsets. I uploaded some chipsets for rmxp, and they were accepted, so, maybe my files are somehow causing this error? anyway, I put it in a spoiler so you could see it.

Yeah the download tracking got a lot more advanced with the upgrade. I haven't had the chance to transfer some of the old download data.
... should I just wait until we've all decided that we're done? Or should I keep mentioning things?

'Cause the Logout link is going a little haywire: it shows correctly on every page but "Forums," where it's replaced by the "Register" link, even though I'm logged-in and the cookie is holding. Doesn't really mean much for myself, since I don't log-out, but... Thought I'd mention it. <.<
