Welcome to New Members
Okay, first a little housekeeping. Legend asked me about the poll the other day as it remains broken. Well… I simply have not had the time to install another plug-in yet. I hope to get that done soon. Just know that the poll still does not work.
Now, on with the business at hand. We want to welcome the two newest members of the Special Forces Team. cornfetish and shadowcast007… welcome.
Be sure to stop by the forums and leave a nice message for them.
Both have joined as mappers and cornfetish is already working on the school map. I could show you some screen shots, but I’m instead waiting until the map is closer to finished. Then I’ll post a gallery that will show a progression from very early development to completion.
Now, with all of that said, I want to take a moment to discuss our current recruiting method. We are still recruiting in all positions. However, we will not be openly makeing any more job pages or job requests or help requests.
Instead, we are going to give our mappers a chance to work on their maps so we can start showing some nice screenshots and maybe even some basic play using normal HL or something. This will give the public a chance to see how much the mod is progressing.
Then we will start specifically asking for certain job positions until more work is finished. If you want to help in any way, be sure to let us know. We are recruiting all positions and will be until the mod is finished. We just won’t be begging for help until we have something to show.
EDIT:
We can also add Worms, also a new mapper and level designer, to the list of new members. Again “Welcome folks!”
Fixing the Site
I don’t have much to report right now… real life issues have consumed much of the mod team during the school year. Especially the late spring time when exams begin in earnest.
Anyway, I’ve taken some time tonight to repair our missing graphics on several pages. The links were still pointing to the old host. They should be working now.
I also posted a new poll… but I’m afraid I need to install a different plug-in since this one seems to be broken on this host.
We shall worry about that matter later though.
I also want to take a moment to point out the SF Studios host to anyone that happens to stop by. http://www.bwldevelopment.com If you haven’t already, stop in and pay us a little visit.
Site Update
Well, after some discussion with Legend, I decided that the old website design was too over-complicated. It was, as the saying goes, re-inventing the wheel.
Specifically, we had a web design and a blog hosting our main mod. When I upgraded my own site, I decided I liked the new version of WordPress enough to consider making a new install here.
We’ve completely remade all of the existing pages and simplified the background code considerably.
Sub-pages for Special Forces: Source and Gordon Dangerous will be easier to browse and the design should be much more user friendly.
