So, after reading about the daunting task of adding all the static meshes and such to my Observatory map, I got depressed and decided that I may not be able to pull it off. Instead I spent the afternoon with my day off from work to come up with a webpage layout using exsiting things and attributes from a bunch of the project stealth pictures out there.
This is what I came up with. Nothing fancy.
Kept it simple to maintain and easy to navigate. Some effects of somesort could be added to the tabs so they look more like tabs or something. It needs to be dressed up a little.

You dev guys probably already have this figured out but meh what's a bored Canadian gonna do? Play hockey? Hmm... good point. I'm gonna go watch the Senators lose to the Canadiens. ya that's not confusing.
Ok, thank you :)
Has there been any thoughts on a webpage?
Daybreak, bit to bland for my taste. The themes and colours are nice (text is a bit to dark) because I think the tech feel goes really nice with the whole PS thing but it needs more gloss and web 2.0-ification.
Good concept tho =]
Lol
Feels honored ^^
I actually like the simplicity of it, though, it could use some more colors.
BTW, the post from the image for real (yes, I'm spamming it, duh).
QuoteDear PS community,
As some of you might know, we have a chatroom up and running which can be used to discuss anything Project Stealth related. We, as the developers of the game, will be in this chatroom aswell and chat along with you guys.

too simple for me
lol, needs tons of flash elements!

NO!
It'll make the site load years!
depends on how good the dev is. If you load it all at the beginning then yea, but if you do external file loads you can load stuff like image galleries image by image after the page has loaded.
But then, it could only be done on image galleries lol using it on like a shimmering banner would just be annoying =P
I actually like it a lot daybreak. I think the colors compliment eachother pretty well. Only thing that I think needs to be changed is the tab fonts, but that's easy to do. Simplicity that looks good is always a good thing, gets the job done w/ low load times. :D

No. Overuse of flash is the biggest taboo on the interwebs.

If you do it right, the animations look pretty good though. Just...slow feeling.
I agree with most, it's a little bland. That's why I said it needs to be dressed up a bit. IE: that seefoo flare. I case you didn't notice, it's pretty much a copy of seefoo's little labels on the spydesk top. And for good reason. It works. The layout, is similar to the perliminary UI designs. Dress it up and voila.
It's something familiar and simple. Dressing it up will make it not seem too simple. Maybe a flash animation here, a little design there. I wanted to encorporate the PS logo like that avatar some have, but I didn't.
Looks pretty sweet to me, I like it, nice and simple not to much unacessary shit on it. I think its perfect:P. Good job. ;)

If you're gonna say things like that you could atleast give him some constructive criticism. It really bugs me when people post like you just did.

I don't know why it looks unprofessional, guess it looks cheap somehow? Too bad you get annoyed cause of something I even can't respond on.

k sunshine before you even make one critical comment, I can honestly say you couldn't do any better if you tried so why even bother trying to put people down if you can't make an attempt your self, and if you can , show us and more importantly PROVE ME WRONG.

All right, so no one, who can't make a better attempt than Daybreak, are allowed to come with criticize to his work? That's bullshit. As far as I know, he uploaded the picture just to hear people's opinion about, whether they would be positive or not. So there's really nothing done wrong here.
And back on topic, I like the page's look, though it still needs some modifycation of course.

speaking of web pages , the portal page is better then anything sunshine could ever do in one sitting.
agent, cut the crap. according to your logic, non-artists' critique doesn't count shit ::)
the style of the new page portal looks nice. what occured to me at first glance is that the merc model shows more detail than the spy model. it may also look cool to give the spy a little camo-suit effect.
Heh, it makes me laugh on the portal page. Why didn't the person who added the flash element implement a bar for skipping through the video and volume control, yet there are little pictures of it next to the element? That threw me for a minute. I think you've made the audio rate different aswell, somtimes the audio in mr Mics video runs faster than the actual footage ;)

Patience tidenburg geeze, im sure more will be added.
What are you talking about. I don't want "more" to be added. For starters I was just saying the seeker and volume bars are prebuilt elements in flash so why not add them, and the audio rates are in the video import/swf export settings. It was a critic not a suggestion.
Can't work with Flash. Mic might have a go at it later.
The portal is sexy, nice work. Just a heads up, whenever I type in www.projectstealth.org into the address bar the site doesn't show up but I still hear the music. (which is a good style music I love it) I had to look up the site on google then click on one of the results to get the portal to ACTUALLY SHOW UP. Odd. Looks great, again. Any chance we'll see the forum in those colors/themes in the future? A portal theme needs to match the forum theme imho, but it's not up to me. Just a suggestion. ;D
Tidenburg owns that .org domain and I guess he has to rework his stealth forwarding a bit (to bypass the portal page and such).
I removed the masking. Its just a redirect now so it should effect anything anymore.
the problem with that portal is that it tells a newcomer absolutely nothing about ps, not even that it's an upcoming mod. so if people don't come from moddb, they are kinda confused. i tried it with some friends of mine that knew nothing or only little about ps and they all were confused like hell...
That's true. Maybe a bit of info. Like a simple sentence: The upcoming stealth action SvM mod.
So it's been a while since I've posted and visited. First thing first, that portal page... wow. Nice.
Second, regarding my page. It's just a template of what I envision. Now then is it professional not all. Am I offended about that. Nope, i know my work isn't going to come close to what most of you guys do. My efforts are those of an amature, at best. But I appreciate the restraint you all show from not calling it complete trash!
I just like getting ideas in, as I have had a couple of good ones and some bad ones. Then I leave it to most of you professionals who know what they are doing. GOOD WORK!
Now then, I agree with Rambo and Papa, there should be some indication whether it's a logo, text or whatever that this is a mod for Unreal. People should know you want this game, you need Unreal 3.
Second, I also believe that the site should have a coming soon notice and only a link to the forums. Nothing, to me, is more aggrevating than going to a website and seeing only half has been made. I don't go into a store and see "men's ware" or "toys" comming soon on opening day. It's all open or all closed. So my two cents, don't launch the website until it's all done. Don't do it in parts.
This might already be the plan, in which case, that's good.
If not, That's bad.
And if it launches even sooner than I thought, that's good.
But if there's under construction links, that's bad.
FYI if you don't know that was a throw back to an old simpson's episode...that's bad.

There's a reason behind everything. The reason you think it looks to unprofessional is probably because its very plain. Even if you'd have just said a reason why you MIGHT think it looks unprofessional is still better than nothing at all. Come on constructive critisicm. (I've spelt that wrong)

qfe
unless you guys have a trailer for the beta, this is the way to go. i'd put "upcoming spies vs mercenaries mod", a link to this forum, an ut3 logo and a link to moddb there and nothing more.
These are all good ideas.
The first version of anything is never perfect, so just give us some time.

exactly why i told Tidenburg to have patience.
it looks nice, K.I.S.S.
just needs some tweaks(nothing is perfect the first try) but otherwise looks great!
Ditto
@TC: Yea Radiohead
QuoteNothing is percect first try
NOES! Don't say that! That means Project stealth 1 wont be perfekt!!
I need to buy Unreal Tournament 3 to play PS? why so?
It's a mod of the unreal engine but, because they can't afford the huge $ licence fee required to make PS standalone, you'll have to purchase UT3 then install the game. Thats the way it's always been.
oh ok, but how do you start the game then? by starting UT3? Or standalone ICON?

Varies for different games, for example max payne mods when u click the MP Icon, it asks if you want to play this or that. Not sure how ut3 mods work. With crysis you have to actually lauch the game, then select the mod in game. it all varies tbh. Im sure the awesomeness of lennard n mulle will sort something out.
