No Hump = No Own


« on: January 15, 2003, 11:37:37 pm »

    Hey all members of the Mac gaming community, I'm pleased to anounce the public debut of the FrEaK clan website at http://homepage.mac.com/compuart22/freak Smiley

    The site is still undergoing some development but I feel that it is far enough along to let the whole community see it. I have done my best to test it in as many browsers as I can (most of the Mac OS X browsers seem to be ok), but I'd appreciate your help in trying it out on every browser you can.

    Please post your comments and criticisms here or use the links in the site to email me.

We'll start off with the only 2 flaws i found which can easily be changed.

1. My resolution is 800x600 and i get a bottom scrollbar, which is kind of annoying because you cant see the scrollbar for the content in the main frame. You can fix this by shaving that empty space off on the right side of the menu and main graphic, so everything fits nicely in the window.
2. Since you have an intro page, you might as well make something a little more flashy to put on it.

Next, i would like to congratulate you on having one of the nicest clan sites i've seen. It's not overloaded with un-necesary crap to slow down load times and create an eyesore.

The main graphic of the sniper guy, maybe make it a little sexier in photoshop.
I know capt is gonna come and tear it up, but it's awesome as far as i'm concerned.

Thnx for the comments Bronto.
   I guess I could shave a few pixels off of the one side so that the site would fit a bit better on an 800x600 screen. It's just that in this day and age, the 800x600 resolution is a rare thing. Although I don't mind compromising a little.

   As far as the intro page goes, there will eventually be an intro movie in place of the Clan logo. I just wanted to get the main content and structure of the site set up first.

  thnx again for the comments

When I went to the section where the Rogue Spear team is detailed, I was pleased to see that I didn't have to load many graphics and several pages of clanmembers. However (I could be wrong, maybe this part isn't finished) it is currently pretty un-functional since for each member you click on, it shows the same picture of a soldier and displays the person's name in grey text next to it. Otherwise, the site is quick-loading and clean-looking. NJ.

Good to see you guys made a website for your clan.  Wink

Looks good!  Nice and simple and to the point.  Does its job well.  

Maybe on your links section, you can ask for a specific sized graphic(so it looks nice and clean) from each clan to make it look sexier Smiley

Other than that, congratulations and good to see your clan progressing Grin

Thanks for the introduction, B, now I can get right to work.

First off, I'm not too terribly excited about the scrolling bit inside the scrolling window.. it just looks funny to have two scroll bars right next to each other, and to read the whole thing I have to cented the scrolling area on the page. You'd probobly be better off with just a seingle scrollbar on the right. Also, when I try to use the wheel on my mouse I have to aim for teh little bit of the page on the far rught between the scrollbars if I want to scroll the entire page. kinda a pain.

Second, the glow effect on the rollover is a bit extreme, perhaps something different or a bit more subtle.

Third, the buttons themselves are kinda... errr... boring. I've just never been into the whole brushed metal look. That's just my personal opinion though, so don't bother about them.

Fourth, Blackbird doesn't fit into the gradient you have with the buttons in the RST section.

That's all for that, really. Not a whole lot to complain about. now just a little schpeil on the overall design. When I saw the little freak logo on the intro page, I was thinking "oh, this is all gonna be kinda black and white abstract, could be cool." It was kinda a let down to have the brused metal invade. Perhaps do everything over in the B&W abstract look, just for kicks. You know.. it could be cool and all.

Overall, good site. keep it up.

Oh my, here's capt again with his expertise Wink

I think it looks pretty nice. I like clean designs and that splash page was very clean indeed!

    Thnx for all the possitive comments guys. Smiley (and Capt. I think your comments were rather possitive because you didn't tear the site a new one) I know that there are a few things that are a little off and could/will be fixed as soon as I can get to them.

    I have updated the site as much as I can, for the time being, for those of you with small monitors. It works fine with all browsers on Mac OS X at a resolution of 800x600. With IE 5.2 you gotta close the explorer bar and the tool bars then expand the window as much as possible, as IE adds a bit more space to the left side of web pages than other browsers. Unfortunately IE 5 on OS 9 will still have a bottom scroll bar on an 800x600 monitor because of the extra space and the OS 9 window border. You can at least get access to the frame scroll bar now without having to scroll the page to the right.
   Because of the design Mac OS 9 users will have to use IE or some other browser besides Netscape Communicator 4.77, as Communicator cannot handle the iframes. Sad

teehee... perhaps I should review the ?K site Grin

alrighty then... let's go in the order that you see things

1) Intro Page - Not bad. cool little firing animation, but it's kinda weird that you can see the letters through the guys. looks almost like they're cut in half. The glowing tag at the bottom reminds me of some ooze, but that's just because of the shine on it. could be better if all the greens were the same, matching.

2) 2nd intro page - Very slick looking. Highly faded and not a lot of color, but the look really works for it. The way the upper tag is faded works excellently, looks like it is bubbling out. I get some minor pixelation on the logo, but not bad for only 59kb. Could prolly make it even smaller if it didn't have the big sapcers on the sides.

3) 3rd intro/ page - I generally despise hit pages (unless I make them, of course) so I just think this is kinda silly. I'm getting slightly bored with intro pages.

4) 4th intro page - Ok, these intro pages are starting to get onto my nerves. Am I ever going to see the real site? A "skip to main" button on the first page wouldn't be a bad idea. The images itself looks great, and how the lense flare matches the thin ?K in the backround is great, but the little blue glow on the guys crotch seems out of place.

5) Main page - Well wouldja look at that! we made it through the intro pages(hint hint). So, we got the regular star logo, that's all good, a little banner, a big photoshop and some buttons. Not bad overall, just some minor qualms about the guys shooting into the ground and the noticable lack of rollovers(yes, I <3 rollovers).

6) News page - Well, first thing i notice is the picture on the banner changes which is good. Second thing I notice, the whole banner shifts to teh left about 20 pixels. Minor annoyance, but it's nice when navigation things stay put. Nice faded logo in the backround, but again with some minor pixelation. The banner a bottom is pretty cool.. kinda girly text though. I'm not gonna say anything about the content... restrain yourself capt... don't say anything about the content....

7) Roster Page - Well, nice to see some peopel use the unis mods. Nice use of all the diff unis, some easier navigation, perhaps a list of members on the left or right that links down to them on the page. The little pictures are all blured, which is slightly annoying, especially since I know all those unis look badass.

Cool Screenshots Page - woah! blue! where's this come from!?! where's my greeeeen!? Anyways... kinda neat to see a diff color. Only real thing i have to say is that last picture would make a great intro picture if you spiffed it up. an hey.. why not have 5? Wink

9) CB's page - Plain and utilitarian. Has pixelated backroudn image. 'nuff said.

10) History image - Foudn it by accident, and it's hard to read and has no navigation. Very big change from the black background. doesn't fit in with the site. It's the black sheep, so to speak.


Overall, not too b ad. Definitly has its own style, the graffiti-over-the-top stuff. Not my fave, but you could prolyl have some more fun with it. Also, I think it may be time to spray a new ?K logo, the old green tag is getting worn kinda thin. Navigation is easy, load times aren't too long, some minor annoying graphical things, some good stuff, and the news section can provide HOURS of entertainment. *smacks himself* I mean, not bad overall, but it could be better. I'm no big fan of ASCI, but to each his own. Has some of the better graphics amon clansites, but still no match for the almighty Capt.

oh.. almost forgot... the GhR squadron page... it's just.. yea... not really intergrated with anything. Still has pixelation on the logo.

Not bad, I like it, plain & simple.  the only problem I found is in the roster section I took a little too long to load all the members, but other than that it's a nice site, gj!
