  1. @@Lancelot dafuk is this :o

     

    I am watching newly uploaded addons and mods for JKA on ModDB and I have the following links:

     

     

    Shit ton of links, you have been warned.

     

    As you can see, a lot of recent reuploads. Pretty sure many of them are not allowed by the mods' licences.

    Most of the files have been uploaded by this dude. He is #2 on ModDB and he have like 55k of activity points. I guess it's cool to reupload everything on ModDB even if the files are present there :lol:.

     

    PS: let's see the response from our reuploader here (if there will be any of course).

  2. The best Menu overhaul, to date that I've seen is @@Sentra's "SkyLine Menu", found here;

     

    Unfortunately, this is ONLY available for the 'Multiplayer' Menu screen. @@Sentra, if it's possible in any way for you to do a version of this for the 'Single Player' Menu screen, that would be great!

    Oh well, I never thought it would be that popular :lol:

    Back to the topic. First of all, thanks for mentioning the work we made together with @@Zionter, really nice to hear this after 4 years since the initial release.

    Second, I tried to resurrect SkyLine project like 3 times, but, sadly, none of these attempts have been successful.

     

    2013.

    It was the first time I started designing the v2. In a year I got all of finished yet not shown work erased because of HDD failure.

    [see the 2013 concept]

     

    2015.

    Started again from scratch, this time the concept were simpler and prettier, as for me. Minimalism era.

    My second attempt failed because I got no time to continue the design and prototyping process. So again I shelved it 'till I got the time and desire to continue.

    [see the early 2015 concept]

    [see the late 'Hoth' 2015 concept]

     

    2016.

    Got contacted by @ and was asked about possibility of using of some assets from the concepts I made. I agreed and proposed to continue the creating process of SkyLine by the team he were in (they got designer, coder and a bunch of other guys and I was alone with no coding/menu writing skills).

    In SkyLine 2.0 we tried to change the gamecode to get the game's GUI look like the concepts I've made. Didn't work as I wanted and we paused it (kinda hard to adapt it to every external modification). And as you are modifying the game assets for an RP project mod, you can edit basically everything (no compatibility issues), so you have more opportunities to implement the GUI in game, not as a concept. So that I asked you about 2.0 concepts :)

     

    *There were some techy stuff like concept size and so on*

    Thank you so much for having faith in me. We both have the same vision, it seems! I too am incredibly frustrated with the game's stubbornness of displaying high quality images - and even then, it insists on stretching them. 

    I too share a partnership with C/C++ coder/developer. He's capable of running rings around the entire game's code, and has made mods from scratch. I'm totally confident he'll be able to see this through for us. 

    Thank you again, I won't let you down.

    Then I haven't heard anything from him until June, when I poked him via PM.

     

     

    Heya!

    How is it going?

    Hey, buddy. 

    Our developer has been on-leave for a few months, due to university. He's due to finish in a few weeks. Then we're back on schedule. We've basically started on OpenJK, and we'll soon crack the code in regards to changing the menu's/resolution to adapt to the players resolution. Thus, making SkyLine 2.0's real purpose, its real vision, become a little more realistic. 

    I'm excited to get back into working on everything, but my hands are tied until our developer gets to that milestone.

     

    And after this I haven't heard anything from him since Feb 2016.

    Why am I telling this coolstory - I have no possibility to implement the concepts I have in JKA because I lack the required coding (.menu, ...) skills and I haven't find the guys that are able to do it.

    Had faith in the Elliot's OJRP team, but they just disappeared in June. It's sad.

     

    But still I'm happy to send all source files I've designed to anyone who got the skills and time to finally finish this project. Contact me if you are interested.

  3. Um. For real? You liked how it was before? There was a huge void in the center of the index with nothing in it. I think fixed width is mandatory for a forum.

    Yup, I'm using the full-width version of Hub, not the fixed one. Widescreen monitors, come on!

    • Fixed width in 2k16? Please, for the love of God, don't do it.
    • It is way too bright for a background.
    • Hub logo is kinda not ready for this background.
    • Grayish elements with some transparency is okay, but we have a lot of titles here with white color (like the "Replying to How do you like the new theme?").
    • Bluish transparent font color + background transparency is bad ("Latest: / By  – %date%" block on forums home).

    This could be a much longer fix-list, but, well, it's better to redesign everything from a scratch like @@Caelum wanted some time ago, maybe after forum engine upgrade (still want to see IPB 4 instead of XenForo, but that's just my two cents).

    Also current template was designed and optimized for a dark-colored BG only.
