Welcome back!
by Paul 07/10/2000 - 18:44:19 (127.0.0.1)
Go to top of page  
So 5 weeks later after a short discussion with Shambler, here it is. MPQ is back. So what's new? Well the design is obviously new and also the site is now powered by cgi so things are more searchable and easier to find, I hope! As an example, the last 10 reviews are listed on the site bar, so you can easily see what's just been added to the site.

All of the reviews from GrindSpires website, DMQ are all in here. I've also put up 5 new reviews of Naked6, Trondm2, XL1DM5, XL1DM6 and Rewired1 and GrindSpire has 2 new reviews of Pope2 and Mjdm1Pro. Click here to see all the new reviews.

We now have comments and the little notepad with the bracketed number is the number of comments on an item. All items, whether they are news, reviews, rants or interviews can have comments on them. If you disagree with something we say, then comment!

The majority of the old site content is in here. All the old news and reviews should be in here but if you spot anything that's missing then drop me an email and I'll try my best to sort it out. The same goes for the Featured Author Interviews, which are now just catalogued as Interviews. Mixed in amongst those are the interviews done for UKPak map pack. The rants also return and I've included my various ramblings from the old Peej'n'Frib's website.

So what to expect? Well, we have a HUGE stack load of maps to get through! A year has passed and a lot of great maps have appeared that need to be added to the site. What is different this time around is that we no longer accept emails for map submissions. You now submit your map into the site and this then goes onto a Pending Reviews list which people can look at and see what is next up to review. We will also be actively searching for maps as well. A big thanks though, must go out to Shambler for providing me with a sizably chunky list of maps that have appeared in the last year.

GrindSpire is now on board as well and he will be sharing the reviewing duties with myself. We hope to provide more frequent updates due to fact that its not a pain in the ass to get the reviews done since all the formatting etc, is done for us by the site. The updates will probably be shorter, but if you visit every so often there should be plenty to read.

Thanks should go out to the various testers who checked out the site and showed their dislike of the new colour scheme :).

If you have any comments then either post them on the "Comments/Suggestions" thread or email either myself or GrindSpire.

You erased my comment when you re-uploaded the MPQCGI.EXE file!

Anyway, just wanted to say that I dislike the colour scheme :-)

Stop moaning. The only way it will ever change is if hell freezes over.

Oh yeah it's so easy to get firsties when you're all sucking Paul's dick on his irc launch party and I'm in the middle of a 2 hour long BZii mission....bastards.

""The positions of the screen shots is variable and can be in a few different combinations, eg Top is Left and Bottom is Right or Top is Right and Bottom is Right. It just depends how the site feels at the time :).""

Hehehehe that's really cool....

/me goes to refresh a review repeatedly to see it in action =)


#15 Screenies

What's with the screenies. They look kinda dodgy. C'mon most of us here are on phat connections so you can make them a bit more high-res. And take off the fullbrights. They sux0r.

#16 woohoo!

#17 Errors
by ownx 15/10/2000 - 23:37:59 (205.208.132.21)
Go to top of page  
When clicking the link to get to this comments section I got an error. The problem was with the >link itself. NEWS_LINK= 3 <- notice the space. I would think that that was a server side error but it might have been caused by this shitty linux port of netscape. Anyway, I think the site looks great. Good to see it running again. I am usually pretty good at breaking stuff so I'll see what else I can fuck up while I'm here.

#18 bitch bitch bitch

>Yeah, I know. I tend to be a bit anal. I was looking around and found the same error while perusing the Solar Plexus review. This time I took a look at the source and sure enough there it is. REVIEW_LINK= 16717 <-notice the space.

(For anyone wondering, I was using hi-res shots. And Paul forced me to compress them :-)

"C'mon most of us here are on phat connections"

Utter bullshit. Just because *you* happen to be lucky enough to have a good connection doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer.


#22 moving screenshots?

The screenshots move? That's freaky, it;s hours of fun for the whole family!

Actually, I'm on a 56K MODEM!!! The thing is, I'd rather wait for the screenshot to load a bit longer (anywhere between 30 seconds and 1 munite would be tolerable IMO) rather than look at crappy screens. They are not too bad in their current state, but they could be far better. A site of this caliber and popularity should have better screenshots. Do the maps justice!!

#26 A most excellent site...
by Bilirubin 21/10/2000 - 11:32:16 (149.99.123.60)
Go to top of page  
All of my *sniff* 56K is now devoted to dling maps maps maps. I'm even putting up a server to run some of them...

And I *like* the blue...nice contrast with the browns of other sites :-p


#27 Thanks Bilirubin
