MUGEN NEWS - U.A.O. PROJECT

[electrocaid]

good idea because, i've said hereabove, i don't think that i know someone able to help us for that

[Genesis]

I spoke to him. He agreed on helping but he has a couple of suggestions/requirements/conditions.

I doubt Electrocaid or MudJellyfish know I'm admin at clubsyn but I spoke to my friend and co-admin NGeo. He suggested we kinda help each other. CSX has a database that's pretty limited right now since we've been slow on adding entries (there's no rush right now) but since we're gonna be a news site anyway, for everything reported we can add them to the database and keep track of whats online and offline, and where to get them/where they were once.

At the moment, the database isnt 100% complete but you can add entries with:

• Name
• Author
• Website
• Game of Origin
• Creation type
• Mugen version
• Resolution Type
• Online/Offline

When you hover over the creation name, you can see a preview of it.

When the database is 100% finished, you can keep track on submitted entries based on user and database mods/admins can make changes when needed. If anything, we'd probably make a special rank for UAO admins so they make changes/add stuff. Im not too good on the site coding front so idk if its possible to just use the accounts that we'd use for the UAO site.

If you all agree to his terms, he/we would also talk to Syn to give the News site it's own space on the server(which btw has a LOT of memory that can be used, and also give a lot of creative freedom with what we can do with the site). He would build the site with SMF to make a custom portal for the site which would be simple to maintain and edit. We could disable the forum part since we aren't aiming for that, but at the same time have the option to implement one if we want to.

He asked me to ask you guys to come to the chat and we can discuss but i explained our timezones are too different, so i can just send messages back and forth.

So what do you guys think? I obviously am up for the idea but you guys might not be.

Dear Friend and Respect Friend.

First, I am poor at English.
Please understand.

I support activity of "PERFECT-SELECT".
because This is ONLY and great work in the mugen world.

I am not opposed to new activity.
However, a question will be borne if "PERFECT-SELECT" decline.

Mr. Reuben kee left Dragonclaw.
What do we leave?

I guess I was just exaggerating.
but Rome was not built in a day.

and

Nothing is as important as health

hahaha!

[scourgesplitter]

@Genesis, you have officially laid the foundation and all the parts for UAO. Count me in for the support. If only we all had some better form of communication.

Mud Jellyfish your English is fine my friend  . You would be very important in the success of UAO. I'm sure that this project would not be the end of PERFECT-SELECT as long there is help. We will have to see what happens first.

[Genesis]

This will not be the end of PERFECT-SELECT, I don't believe so.
Mud Jellyfish, your English is fine

Health is very much important!

@Everyone: I spoke to Syn myself, he's ok with everything.

[ClubSyN-X-TReME]

Hi everyone My name is SyN.
Genesis presented me with you guys idea for a news site.

I have plenty of space on my server. btw its a dedicated server.

Specs are:

Core i7 2600
8gb-ddr3 ddr3 RAM
500GB SATA-II
500GB SATA-II
4 TB monthly bandwidth

I have tons of server space and our monthly bandwidth barley goes over 200gb so there is no worries as far as bandwidth issues, I have more than enough.
I am familiar with html, php, javascript and css.
I would love to be the host and be affiliated with you guys news idea.

I can develop a news script that uses php and a mysql database connection for posting,updated,editing information.

Pretty much everything I develop for my place that's custom and for certain groups to have access to it, I make custom groups in my personal chatroom for the site which allows only that group with the correct privileges to monitor or admin any part of my site for instance I have a group that maintains the mugen database, the chat, has access to private beta testing materials, etc. I can do this as well for the new group.

This is just me asking but its not a requirement but if you guys are willing to allow me to set this up for yall and be the home of this fantastic idea. would it be possible to set this up on my index page where it will be the first thing everyone sees when visiting the club syn site?

Of if you guys wanted a web link with whatever your group name is then its fine as well.

Either or I would be happy to have you all around and this new idea as well as being your host.

Thank you.

ohohoooo
it's becoming the "post-to-be" here 
i'm happy to welcome new celebrities on our little forum

by order:
@Genesis: no, i didn't know about  .... excellent suggestion: having a "web" base is better than nothing & i don't know if it's possible to "merge" it with the perfect select... which is constantly updated... Furthermore, the perfect select doesn't contain all the details of your database... ---> i totaly agree with your proposal.  For communicating: whatever as long as we can know where to write
@Mud Jellyfish: i'll keep updating the perfect select in all cases... simply because it's the true select.def of my mugen game, the mugen museum...  BTW, wouldn't your own database be useful to the project?
@scourgesplitter: very very pleased to count you among us
@ClubSyN-X-TReME: your presence here is a kind of crossover itself ! ---> for sure you're welcome aboard: the more we'll be, the better results we'll have. Thanks a lot for your kind support: it seems that you have the project's necessary ressources & i think that no one here will vote against your idea   For me, you can advance in the suggested way: your question appeals a very positive answer from me 

According to all these explanations, what do you all think my friends?

[ClubSyN-X-TReME]

Ok cool. Lets see what others have to say before making preparations.

[scourgesplitter]

No objections on my part. In fact I'm honored to work amongst you fellas. SyN thank you for this opportunity you are giving to us.

[electrocaid]

another stupid idea: wouldn't it be useful to write directly to some communities' "leaders", for inviting them to read this post?

i've in mind:
- Nunor from the guild: a very moderated friend
- Zombiebrocks from MFFA, with who i've already been got in touch

Good?/not good?

If good, other trustful persons to suggest?

[Genesis]

I think Nunor would be a great idea!
ZombieBrock is a friend of mine, no problem with him being around.
As you've said, the more the merrier right? 

I'm not sure who else we could invite...

[Mud Jellyfish]

@Mud Jellyfish: i'll keep updating the perfect select in all cases... simply because it's the true select.def of my mugen game, the mugen museum...  BTW, wouldn't your own database be useful to the project?

Dear friend.

I think you already know this,
There is not nothing much I can do for you,

but,
infomation at my Homepage, you can use.

if you have a perplexed question,
Send to private message for me.

Thank you friend!

[ClubSyN-X-TReME]

Ok folks. I can come up with a draft but anyone has an idea of how this new page going to be laid out?

[Genesis]

Well, I was under the impression we would have something similar to the old mugen news sites, but perhaps a fresher idea might be good too


How complicated would it be to have a little interactive box that has a preview of the last 5 updates/reports with a picture?
Like, if I reported Char A, Stage A, Char B, Screenpack A, and Char C; could the little box display a pic of Char A, and have arrows that let you shift through the last 5 reported items?

To get a better idea of what i mean, something like what 2diyer has now

Unlike 2diyer, when you click the news article/report, it wont take you to a forum post, but the news post instead.

Perhaps below it, another 5 reported releases
On the right hand side, an "archive" of previously reported releases, a RSS feed button, and a link to the database?
Left I suppose for site navigation, a button to enter CSX, and affiliate links?


Now my questions to everyone:

-Should 4 images be the standard for whenever a release gets reported?
-Can we/should we have a filter for report type?
Similar to how sites like MFG have filters for creation type.
-Would we report miscellaneous mugen news as well?
Like "'Creator A' who is working on 'Character A' just posted new shots and details about their WIP"
"Update for 'Creation X' is in the works according to post by 'Author A'
-"'Author A' has posted a teaser shot of 'Character A', is it a WIP?"
Things like that.

I think Nunor would be a great idea!

I'm not sure who else we could invite...

i've written to both...
