[SUGGESTION] Clublink improvements necessary.

Post by dreammyw0w »

Hi,

The clublink idea is really good and it gives that little extra to the game. Its pretty cool to see my clanlogo on the scoreboard or on the shields. But the truth is that its too hard to setup properly and this could be easily fixed if you had someone in your team who actually knows Jquery, Ajax or webdesign.


WEBSITE :

- Please give a preview when you enter something in the fields. The entire idea behind clublinks is to have a VISUAL difference in the game, right? So give me visual feedback of what Im doing.
Displaying : "$z$000COREPLAY$fff.$i$f00Tt" tells me nothing.

- The colors are suddenly in a different format :
f.e. : FFF ( not : $FFF )

- Tell me what the colors are for. Show me a picture of a spawn with a custom color so I understand what I am doing. "Primary" & "Secondary" color tells me nothing.

Primary color = ??
Secondary color = ??

-Welcome to 2013. Use a colorpicker please.

- Uploading a logo is HELL. You simply dont know if it works and that you did it right. You have to launch your game and play 4maps & then MAYBE you know if you did something wrong.
Give me the dimensions & tell me how to save it?
"Upload your DDS file here" tells me nothing.
Please add client-side verification.

You have 10 versions of DDS ( no alpha , etc etc ). Tell me precisely which one it is. You display a popup so USE it.
It takes 1minute to change the description of the popup to "Upload your logo here that will be shown on the scoreboard, shields & spawns. The dimensions are 512-512. Make sure its DDS-No Alpha/Whatever"
Why isnt this done right from the start? People create threads because they dont know and Hylis has to answer them there... What a waste of time? Hylis has better things to do , no? :D rofl.

- The description does not update properly. You dont get any feedback. You dont know if ur description is saved.
When you reopen the "edit team' page your description is lost and you get to retype the entire thing.

- The XML file offers more options( sponors etc )... Why? You can add this easily to the "edit team page"
What if kids of 12 play this game? They dont even know what an XML file is.
Just copy-paste the upload-logo-code for the sponsorlogos...



INGAME :

I dont wanna play with pink colors on a public server because 1 random player has a clublink.
Let clublinks enable when ALL 3 players of the team are actually in the server.
Nadeo, I am colorblind. I cant see a lot of colors.

I dont wanna play public and see every round "Clan XXX won the round." I am not in Clan XXX.

I hope someone reads this and actually realises that im right + its an easy fix.

Im sorry, but this is not my definition of usability and im not satisfied at all with this.

Please do not juge the team's skill in javascript or webdesign.

- The preview should be shown when you have the focus in the filed, what browser are you using ?
- I'll add help about colors, and I've added in color picker for next update
- Description fixed for next update
- Sponsor are not used so no need to display them for edit
- Clublink are activated only when the 3 players have it in next update

Have a nice day.

Could you confirm me that you have the preview when you have the focus in the name field ?

Opera : No
IE : Yes - imo , pop-ups are not the way to go. Display the result below the textfield & display changes on the go.

EDIT : After updating OPERA, it shows a popup/frame. You know what I mean. :thumbsup:

    I agree improvements need to be made. I haven't been able to get to get my logo to work, it will show up or flash beginning of rounds then disappears and it's not setup properly. Pretty much gave up on trying and googling for answers!

    DXT - 1, Mipmaps, though I have Alpha 1 on it because PAINT.NET has only that option, 512x512 and .DDS format with a http://test.shootmaniacompetitive.com proper URL/FTP

    this is really great but what i don't like about it is that it automatically refills the field even if i clear it
    so i can't set no color and even if i set a value like white the game automatically uses another color (something similar to cyan)
    i just want to use the default color for the current team, blue or red

      confirmed. + I still feel it could be a lot easier.
      This is a really cool feature of the game but its hardly used. I think its due the complexity.

      Also its not mentioned in the game anywhere that you can actually adjust this stuff.
      The neverending waiting game has to stop.
