NWN 2 Worlds


Rhomal

Recommended Posts

As you may have heard I took nwn2news down as there is less need for a general news site IMO plus the s/w that was running nwn2news was not aging well. So I have decided to reinvent the site as NWN 2 Worlds. A NWN 2 MP and PW focused site. I have got the framework up, while I am still adding and fleshing out sections I'd like to get feedback from the community here of the progress so far.

 

http://www.nwn2worlds.net

 

Specifically I'd like to know what you think of the theme we are using. Also any other ideas you have for the various areas (or lack of). All input appreciated.

 

Please note you can register (non-verified now, however email verification will be enabled once we go public) if you want and post in the forum your feedback if you'd like.

 

Thanks for your time!

Also, the text, or the background, is too light for the poll results. (What?)

Good design, the colors are a bit off. I would use a black or a very dark blue for the background, silver and gold for the central design, and black letterying in the silver grey boxes.

 

Beyond that I very much like it. :D

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! It changed! :no:

 

I changed the theme to a winter/silver look with torn parchment for the blocks to see what the feedback was of that. do you guys like the silver/clean look better or the more dark look?

 

Also I am working on 2 pages that members can in one add themselves with their dm/player profile or/and a pw server profile. This way people looking for a specific kind of DM or server can by browsing the entries. Like a dating site profile but looking for like minded players/MP games rather then b00tie! :lol:

 

Do you have any input on the kind of questions that should be filled out in the questionnaire?

 

For DM/Player records obviously asking if they are a DM or not, and describe their preferred play style. Anything else?

 

For server records the server name, web site, admin email for questions, description of the world setting, and is it RP enforced. Anything else be helpful to ask?

 

thanks guys for all the input!

Is it going to be competing with NeverwinterConnections?

 

 

PS

Maybe it is just me, but I don't like Windows XP silver bars. :mellow:

 

PPS

Any specific reason for choosing DotNetNuke instead of something PHP based?

 

1. Well I suppose there is going to be some overlap to the degree as we both are going to try to help players, DMs and servers get together. But we are less on being a scheduling site and more on providing organized information for people to reach out to the resources themselves. I hope people will want to use our events calendar to alert people to a mp game they are hosting or pw event or such and thats cool, but I suspect the DM, player and server database will be the main use for the site on this level.

 

2. Yea I am still working on finding a theme that im completely happy with too... The search continues...

 

3. once I finish my visual basic .net course I can write my own modules for one, plus the support is much better then the last couple PHP packages I used. For example with myphpnuke that I used a long time ago support/updates just fizzed out. With xoops they stopped supporting any base modules and in essence 'contracted' all the modules to various 3rd parties. So when they did the code fork and reversed paths going from 2.0.x to 2.2.x then back to 2.0.x ti screwed us that were on the 2.2.x path and modules. As 'downgrading' made, at least for me, half the modules break. with DNN all the basic modules (forum, news, gallery, wiki, etc) are developed by the core team along with the base s/w. Thus no type of conflicts what happened with xoops will take place. DNN is a MS pet project so I don't expect any of this above to happen any time soon.

 

Also it limits the amount of admin work I have to put into the site. With a PHP based site I have to maintain PHP, MySQL and Apache on top of the win2003 server. With DNN its all MS required software, I need nothing else then whats included in my small business server 2003 box. Having the site all on one platform is just less headaches when it comes to updates, bugs and the like.

Ok most content/pages are built. Please check out the community database as I hope that will be a big part of the site. I am still looking around for a theme that seems agreeable. Otherwise let me know what you think :teehee:

Really hope that was a freebie.

Just what I needed, another forum to keep up with.

Not sure if you are referring to DNN or my copy of SBS 2003 but in either case the answer is yes. DNN is open source and SBS 2003 was a gift per se.
