    We need money

    Edit: We have gotten more than our goal in donations! Thank you to all who donated! We will be able to keep all of our services for the year! No, really. Please help. As of today, JKHub has been around for over a year. Every day, hundreds of people visit a website we host. JKHub has almost 32,090 posts and 911 members registered! Additionally, we provide downloads for 1,594 mods, some of which over a GB in size. Also, 64,404+ files have been downloaded from our files section Unfortunately, that costs money. How JKHub makes money Though JKHub is not a registered charity or non-profit organization, we do rely very much on users' donations. We currently do not have any paid ads on our website, and are not supported by any companies or investors besides our users. For this reason, we ask for donations once every year, in the fourth quarter. We'd very much like to continue being ad-free. We try to be as transparent as we can about donations, so if you have any questions, please do feel free to yell. What we need money for Here is a full breakdown of all the money JKHub will need to make it through 2014, and the end of this year. Webhosting is what we need in order to be able to make our site available to you. These costs go towards the company JKHub uses to host our website, and to make sure JKHub and sites using its hosting are secure and fast. Dropbox is the third-party service we use to serve mod downloads that would otherwise to be too large (and too many) for our infrastructure to handle. Software licenses are what we need to pay for to keep improvements to our site coming, such as the ones posted in this article. They'll allow us to keep our site as modern, user-friendly and secure as possible. Addons are extensions to the software we use, such as the tutorials system and the links directory, made by third-party developers. Domains are things like "jkhub.org". The total money needed In total, we need $200. We have received $217 worth of donations so far. 117%117% What happens if we don't get $200 Truth is, we need about $200 to keep the webhosting up. In fact, if we don't have it by the end of the month, bad things might happen. In practice, we'll certainly do everything in our power to keep JKHub running smoothly no matter how much money we get, however, we may have to decide to start placing potentially intrusive paid ads on our site to be able to accomplish that, for example. So, in conclusion, please donate. The button below will take you to our donation FAQ page, which is also where you can donate. Again, we try to handle donations as transparently as possible, so if you have any further questions, please post below. Please click here if you're willing to support JKHub by donating.

  3. I personally think the system we have is great. It gives the viewer a list of all the mods we host at a glance. I think that it might make the page way too long if we implement this, and I don't see how the archive thing will work because it will essentially be the system we have now but with only a select group, making navigation even more confusing.
  4. I can do things.
  5. I did see this...not impressed. I hate teasers that don't tease lol. Please no. Forget TFU and erase it from the archives. Please. I beg you Disney. Redemption!
  6. No need to close topics
  7. Probably. However, here is a workaround that someone thought up: http://jkhub.org/tutorials/article/17-character-lip-movements-video/
  8. Hmmm...is there any error messages/difficulties you've had? It seems like other users have been able to implement it successfully.

    Hello

    Hey there! Welcome to JKHub!
  11. Yeah. I personally think Georgia rocks. B)
  12. What exactly is prop hunt?
  13. Oh Circa! You didn't forget to add SP support, well done bro!
  14. I've owned 3 Jedi Academys in my life. And 2 Outcasts. #Dedication
  15. The moderation process.
  16. B) Don't judge until the method is fully used bro. Your getting there, but it still has some more work to do. Getting this to work is very tricky. Great idea! We can't really discuss this until I have at least 1 level done. Imma workin'
  17. That would work, but that would severely limit the camera paths and force us to do a 360 angle, rather than an actual path.
  18. @@eezstreet The method places the menu above the map, so whatever the lighting was, it is preserved. The example is fullbright because the test map was only basically compiled for testing purposes. Also, 2D work looks great. I mean look at Skyline, look at afiNity's work. It's all great. I have nothing against 2D menus, I've made TONS of them. For JKB, Secret Santa, and many other mods, I've used 2D. Using this method will be something NEW. Like I said before, this is an optional plugin, so users against the look/performance dip can really take the 2D menu. I understand your fears, I feel them too. 2D is trusted and true and this method is new and relatively untested. So lets wait until we pass judgement on this before we even have one map done.
  19. Shoot me a PM sometime. It will be a little bit tricky to explain
  20. 3D Elements are used all of the time in menus. I mean JK2 even uses 3D elements, along with KOTOR.
  21. Hello! Great to have you here at the Hub!
  22. This is what I like about the Gold Pack. We want to "improve" the game. But how is that possible if everyone has different ideas of what an improvement is? That's why it's essential to make as many choices as possible so everyone can have a choice that will hopefully satisfy them. So will we add a basic 2D menu? Maybe. It's all about what people want. People seem to have shown some interest in this, so I'm gonna pursue it. And it looks pretty. B) Yep! No code required! Theoretically and practically, this should work with no code edits. However, some edits could be main to customize or streamline some of the problems that will arise (ingame commands still working, etc), I still encourage you to try it out! You won't be disappointed! If the desired map is fully optimized, the additional load time should be minimal.
